COLUMBUS: Tuesday Morning, Nov. ‘45, 1856. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. New Advertisement I The card of au old merchaut and fellow citi zen, Mr. J. H. Merry, will be found in this days’ issue. He, having been about this locality ever since the Indians were hung, it is unne cessary to say more than he may be classed as letter A, No. 1, for uprightness and fair deal ing. Hamden’s Express. In another column will be found the card of Oapt. S. H. Hill, the able, energetic and faith ful agent of the above Express in this city. He is perfectly couversant with all the du ties pertaining to this post, and we have no hesitancy, whilst this agency is under his su perintendence, to recommend it to the favora ble consideration and generous patronage of all persons who desire to have things well done and quickly. The City Criminal Court. This unnecessary body commenced its ses sions yesterday. We counted at the time of our attendance, twenty-six souls, Judge, Jury, Solicitor, Clerk, Sheriffs, Bailiff's, Plaintiff's, Defendants, Lookers on, all told. If there is any necessity for this Court, it Was not evidenced at any rate by the atten dance on yosterdny. We would prefer that the money paid out for the maintainance of this Court was invest ed in introducing water into the city. Our opiuions are entertained by luuny —Very many of our citizens. Launch of the Steamer Wave. This stenuier, wo are informed by 11. T. Hall, Esq., will bo launched, weather permit ting, this evening about four o’clock. Successful launch, and success attend the Steamer Wave. • The River and the Steamboats. Up to ten o’clock a. m. yesterday there was about twenty foet water in the channel, and had commenced falling. The steamer Cusseta, Capt. Stubblefield, arrived here on Saturday morning last, ten days out from Apalachicola, with about one thousand barrels of assorted merchandise for this city. She loaves to-day for Apalachicola. We learn that the steamer Hen Franklin, (.’apt. Berry, left Eufoula on Saturday last for Apalachicola. Alabama Steamers. We call the attention of the traveling public to the advertisement in another column, of (’ox, Bruinard & Cos., of their Daily Line of excellent steamers between Montgomery and Mobile. These Boats are all first class steam ers, and aro in chargo of accommodating and gentlemanly commanders. Steamboat Linden Sunk. The Shreveport Gazette of the Bth instant says the steamer Linden struck a snag on Sun day morning, at Hickory Point, and sunk. The was loaded with cotton from Hurricane Bluff's. The boat supposed to be a total loss. The Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate of the 29th iustant, says pork hogs have been selling at the market house at five cents per pound. We have heard of pork engagements, for country raised hogs, at 4$ cents. The Louisvillo (Ky.) Courier notices con tracts for Pork hogs there at from 4 to 4] cts. gross. The whole country is so full of Bacon, and pork speculators lost so much last season, that they are backward about pitching into the trade this season. The Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate, of the 20th instant, says the cotton crop in that county is nearly picked out. The season for picking has has been reuiarkaby fine, and the staple has been gathered in an unsually cloan condi tion. The crop this year is not more than two-thirds of an average one. The same paper makes the following sensi ble suggestions to the planters of that section, which are equally applicable to ours. It says: Now that the planters have their cotton measurably out of the way, they should plow up their whole plantations. Turn everything under so that it may rot, aud expose the soil to the action of the winter freezes. Subsoil ing, too, should bo resorted to as extensive as possible. The more and deeper the land is turned up in the fall and winter, the better it will produce a crop next year. It will be more easily cultivated, and stand Ihe sum mer’s drouth bettor. As fast as tho cotton crop is out of the way, let the plows be put at work, aud the land broken up at least ten inches deep, aud the next year’s crop is half made. * Federal Convictions. We learn from the Huntsville (Ala.) Advo cate that at the recent session of the Federal Court at Huntsville, Thomas fashions of Ma rion county, was sentenced to the Penitentiary for ten, and John Monthomery for fifteen years—both for robbing tho mails—the former as postmaster at Toll Gate, and the latter as mail rider from Blountsvillo to Whitesburg. fashions is quite an old man, about CO years of age, aud Monthomery is a youth, not more than eighteen years old. - ♦ - The Purchase of the Isthmus. Wo are glad to learn that negotiations are in progress betweeu the Administration at Wash ington aud the Government of New Granada for tho purchase of the Isthmus, or so much of it as will guarantee to our citizens a safe transit to California. Tho outrages committed some months ago at Panama, for which in the very nature of things no adequate reparation cau ever be offered, may at any time be re peated if the line of the railway from wharf to wharf is not placed under the protection of our flag, and though a repetition might fairly justify us in) wresting the territory from the semi-barbarous control of New Granada, wo should yet greatly prefer that its acquisition were made by a fair and honorable purchase. Once in our hands, the Isthmus would soon be rid of the desperate villains who now infest it, aud the route to tho Pacific be reudered as se cure as any other line of travel in the limits the United States. Rain! Rain ! Up to the time lust night-when we went to press the windows of the heavens continued open and the wuters have descended upon us in quantities to suit our wants. Really it re minds one of the days of the deluge. The great unwashed will have no cause to murmur for the want of a cleansing element. We would advise those of our Fillmore friends who are compelled to wear old leaky boots on ac count of their losing so many pairs on the elec tion, to keep in doors until the wuters have aba ted. Meanwhile our steamboat friends will enjoy tho result of the heavy rains falling in this section. Progress and Prospect of the Mobile and Ohio Rail Road. A person unacquainted witli the progress and prospects of this enterprise would be led, by disparaging reports in circulation, to be lieve that the work had been drugging along for many years without any good resulting from it. Like all pvblic rumors they greatly exaggerate, and are consequently not to be depended on. A locomotive getting injured by running off the track, is considered tanta mount to a loss of SB,OOO or SIO,OOO, —when the fact is that the cost of repairing in no in stance, yet has amounted to SIOOO. A few months’delay in the progress of track laying is also looked upon by many as indicative of the bankruptcy of the company, and hopeless failure of the undertaking. So far from this boing the case the condition and prospects of the road were never better. An investigation of its past history will prove this. When the work was commenced it was pre dicted by some that it would never be com pleted, and others contended that ten years would puss before cars woul i run from the gulf to the Mississippi. With a distance of over 500 miles to pass over, the first 200 of which was known to be through a compara tively poor, pine woods country, we do not wonder that the work seemed beset with in surmountable difficulties. Yet the attempt was made, and, notwithstanding the railroad panic of 1853, which destroyed credit in even tho best securities, and also the losses which have been occasioned by freshets, fire and smashing up of locomotives aud cars, the en terprise has gradually progressed. The progress of the road over the first 200 miles, and the increase of earnings for the last three years have been as follow's: Tlie cars reached Citronelle, a distance of 33 miles from Mobile, in July’ 1852, beyond which point they did not run till February, 1854. On the 31st December of that year the termi nus of the road was at Shubuta Station, a dis tance of 70 miles from Mobile: on the 31st of the following December at Lauderdale Springs, 158 miles, and on the 4th of July of the pres ent year at Macon, 200 miles. This last nam ed place has been the terminus for the past five mouths ; but that there is now a much better prospect of its continuance than there was at the expiration of five months after its arrival at Citronelle, no sensible person can doubt. The poorest portion of the route has been passed over, and all that is now required to complete the road through to Columbus, Ky., is the iron necessary for 130 miles. But the most encouraging feature is tho profitable business which is now being done by the road, aud the certainty that the completion of every additional mile will greatly swell the receipts. We cannot doubt this when we contemplate the increase of earnings which has resulted from tho advancement of the road since 1854; aud at the same time consider that only the confines of a rich belt of country has yet been reached: The earnings for the year ending Feb. 1854, when the cars were at Citronelle and run over thirty three miles of road were $42,157 81 For ten monihs ending Dec. 31, 1854, when the cars had reach ed Shubuta, a distance of seven ty miles from Mobile, tho earn ings were $59,307 59 For twelve months ending Dec. 31, 1855, when the cars had reach ed Lauderdale Springs, a dis tance from Mobile of one hun dred and fifty three ‘miles, the earnings were $200,082 95 For this year we have returns of the earn ings of the road during the months of Septem ber and October only, which are as follows : September—from freight $35,108 88 September—from passengers 7,254 00 Total $42,422 88 October—from freight $02,819 00 October—from passengers 9,248 35 Total $72,002 41 Grand Total $114,485 29 Earnings for September, 1855 $9,584 59 Earnings for October, 1855 24,209 40 Total $33,744 05 Earnings for September, 1854 $4,954 70 Earnings for October, 1854 5,813 05 Total $10,707 75 Mobile Tribune. A Russian Rail Road. Nicholas the First of Russia had quite an original way of transacting business. He sent one day for bis engineers, and gave them eight days to bring him the route of a railroad to con nect St. Petersburgh with Moscow. At the end of the allotted time the plan was prepared. “What,” said he, looking nt it—“ What is all this—this serpentine track ? You must have misunderstood me.” “Sire,” said the spokesman, “we have draf ted the shortest route which would embrace on the line the leading towns and villages.” “Give me a peucil and rule,” lie said, and lie struck a boe line from one city to the other. “Here—you understand me?” “But, sire, you leave the large towns entire ly out of sight.” “That is their affair; let them come within sight.” And so the road was built as straight as an I. New Counterfeit. We are indebted to Mr. J. R. Crew, Ticket Agent for tho several Railroads at this place, for a description of anew counterfeit Ten Dol lar Bill on the Bank of Georgetown. It is evidently anew counterfeit from the old plate with some very important improvements, and is well calculated to deceive the unsuspecting. The old counterfeits of this denomination, are well executed, but tho filling is badly done, and they are signed D. L. McKay, Cashier, and J. W. Coachman, President. The new one is well filled in a business hand, signed R. J. Fraser, Cashier, aud J. G. Henning, Presi dent, and dated March Ist, 1854. They have red backs same as genuine. It will require the closest >crutiny to detect them, and we would advise our citizens to keep a look out. —-Atlanta Discipline. Buchanan’s Election in Havana. The Havana correspondent of the Charles ton Courier, in a letter dated November 12tli, writes:— Eureka! We have it! So the election of Jas. Buchanan as our next President is no longer a matter of doubt. Living as I do here in a foreign land, with all the information 1 have been enabled to obtain, yet 1 confess I did en tertain some dubious feelings upon the sub ject ; but yesterday that glorious little schoon er, the W. D. Miller, arrived in the usually short passage of three days from New Orleans, bringing us the happy intelligence. Never will i again utter a syllable against “Old Bo reas:” let him blow ever so fiercely after he has so kindly favored the W. D. Miller upon this occasion. Our young Creole friqnds, as soon as they received the intelligence from the Captain of the port’s boat, on its return from the “visit” to the schooner, flew from house to house amongst our friends spreading the intelligence. The dear delightful girls fairly'- clapped their hands with joy upon the occa sion. “But,” said a fair young Miss of about sixteen summers to mo, “is it not possible that these electors, whom jou tell us have been chosen and who are pledged to vote for Buchanan, may change their minds before the day of election, sir?” I could soarcely avoid being so rude as to smile at the ques tion. “No Miss,” I replied, “it would beas impossible for them to do so as it would be for any man to look upon your fair face and not be struck with admiration.” “You flatter er,” said she, and with a look of rejiroach left the apartment; soon though did she return, and by her smiles assure me I had not. com mitted an unpardonable ottence. Tlius it was in every house I visited yesterday, and if Mr. Buchanan does not fulfil the expectations of these fair Creoles, thenyou will have to obtain another correspondent, for I cannot by any chance dwell amongst them to see their “ex pectations fail.” The U. S. Court and State Rights. The New York Express calls attention to a case of much interest in the United States Su preme Court. Paties out of Ohio, says the Express, sought in the United States Court to enjoin the Directors of the Commercial Branch Bank of Ohio from paying a State tax, deem ed illegal. The plea was no United States ju risdiction, but a majority of the Court sus tained the appeal. Justice Wayne, of Georgia, energetically sustained the jurisdiction of the Court with Roger B. Taney, of Maryland, the Chief Jus tice ot the Court, John McLean, of Ohio, Samuel Nelson, of New fork, Robert C. Grier, of Pennsylvania, and Benj. R. Curtis, of Mas sachusetts, Associate Justices. Justices Cat ron, of Tennessee, Campbell, of Alabama, and Daniel, of Virginia, diagreed. The principle involved is oue of great im portance, viz: that the United States Court, under the Constitution, has a right to inquire into and interfere with the local tax legisla tion of a State. Important to Iron Workers. Mr. Salter, of Newark, has patened an in vention which promises to be of much impor tance. It relates to the making of malleable iron direct from the ore, and consist in expel ling the impurities of the ore by exposing it to a moderate heat during the first stages of the process, and then gradually increasing the temperature. Agitation is kept up through out the operation. The whole process is ef fected by one tire, aud by single furnace of pe culiar construction, it is designed to enable the smelter to arrest the reducing process at the point where the deoxydization of the ore has been completted, and before an injurious excess or carbon, has been absorbed by the metal. By this method but one process is re quired, and wrought iron is thus produced, it is stated, at the cost of pig iron. The latter is worth only $35 per ton; the wroght iron from SBS to SIOO. Should the anticipations of the inventor be realized, his invention will work a revolution in the iron business through out the world. On Thursday morning last, while a party of young gentlemen were gunning, in the neigh borhood of Dr. Screven’s plantation, some thvee or four miles from the city aud near the Thunderbolt road, one of them, Mr. W. H. Co burn, was accidently shot, in the right anklo joint, by another of the party. The muzzle of the gun being but a few feet from him, the whole charge took effect, shattering and splin tering the bone to such an extent that ampu tation, a few inches above the ankle joint, was deemed advisable by his physicians, which operation was performed at his fathej’s resi dence, in town, the same afternoon, by Dr. P. M. lvollock, assisted by Drs. Fish and Bulloch, the patient being under the influence of leth eon daring the operations, first of removing the fragments of the shattered bone, and then of the ampution. So successful was its per formance that no evidence of concious pain was manifested; oil the contrary, be was not aware, when the influence passed off, that the foot had been taken from him. He is well taken care of, and is as comfortable as the na ture of the case cun admit of .--Savannah Re publican, 20th. North Carolina Legislature. The Senate organized on Monday by the election of IV. W. Avery, of Burke, as Spcak en, Mr. Ilill, of Stokes, Chief Clerk, the oth er officers same as last session. The House organized by choosing J. G. Shepard, of Cumberland, Speaker; D. Can well, of Raleigh, Chief Clerk; George How ard, of Wilson, Assistant Clerk; Web ster, of Chatham, Principal Door-Keeper; and Mr. Wright, Assistant Door Keeper. We perceive that the stockholders to the Tennessee aud Alabama Central Rail Road are called to meet in Athens on the 22d, to organ ize, so that operations upon it may soon be commenced. This is an important public en terprise. It is to unite with the Memphis and Charleston road at or near Decatur, and thence through Limestone, via, Athens, Pulas ki, Columbia, &c., to Nashville. The road will soon be completed from Nashville to Colum bia. The State aid, with the individual sub scriptions, ensure its speedy completion in Tennesseo to the Alabama line. The requisite amount of stock has been secured to it iu Limestone and Morgan to build the part of the road in this State. Without desiring to med dle in the local disputes of others, we yet as a public journalist, congratulate the public at large and the people at Limestone and of Mor gan in particular, upon the bright prospects which the now assured construction of this road opens up to them in the future. Tra versing Limestone aud terminating at Decatur, it cannot fail of ultimately greatly promoting the best interests of both counties. The rond, too, will prove a good feeder to the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and will give all North Alabama the most direct route to Nash ville. —Huntsville Ala. Advocate. - More Iron. Six hundred and fifty bars of iron were lau ded ut mir wliarf on yesterday, for the Ala bama slid Tennessee Rivers Railroad. —Selma Repo, ’■ /•, GENERAL ITEMS.

A writer remarks that we have scarcely a millionaire in our midst who has not, at some time or other, enjoyed a “financial crisis.” The North Carolina Baptist State Convention lias adjourned after subscribing an additional endowment of $40,000 to Wake Forest College. The exports of cotton from all the Southern ports to England, thus far as compared with last year, exhibit a falling off of 100,000 bales. The gentleman so often spoken of in novels, who rivetted people with his gaze, has now ob tained permanent employment in a boiler man ufactory. General Eaton, Secretary of War under Gen. Jackson’s first administration, died a few days since. The mention of this gentleman’s name will call up many interesting reminiscences of by-gone political days. “Honesty is the best policy,” said one Scotchman to another who had narrowly es caped hanging for robbery.” I knew it,” said the other, “for I have tried both sides of the question.” A worthy minister, noted for his wit, on be ing asked what kind of person the wife of Mr. was, replied. “I will give you her grammatical character. She is a noun sub stantive —seen, felt and heard.” Benj. Ashley, the man that built the first steamboat on the Connecticut river, died the other day at Springfield, Mass., aged 81. W bile the Rev 11.

Among the passengers, who it is to be fear ed, found watery graves, in the late disaster of the Lyonnais, were Albert Sumner, lady, child and servant. Mrs. Albert Sumner, will be remembered by many of our readers, as Mrs. Barclay, wife of Capt. Barclay, of the Royal Navy, and sister of Mrs. Ball, who shared the sad doom of the ill-fatod Pulaski. Death of an Inventor The Memphis (Tenn.) papers record the death of Colonel George W. Porter. The de ceased was widely and extensively known to the world as the inventor of the “Porter Rifle,” aud other fire-arms, and the progeetor of a cot ton picker operated by horse power. He is author, also, of a number of other valuable inventions less known to the public. Treaty with Indians. The Houston Telegraph learns that Major Neighbors lias had an interview with the Cft mauohe Chief, and that on the 14th of Octo ber, he made a treaty with them by which the Camauches, who have hitherto held out, will now come on the reservation. The Telegraph remarks that by this important treaty peace will be secured to a largo portion of the fron tier hitherto subject to continued Indian in cursions.
