Tatum’s Sacred Paintings.
We wore present last uight at the Exhibition
of theso magnificent works of art. We con
sider them fully up if not beyond the merit uc
corded to them by the press.
The venerable Divine, Dr. Lovick fierce,
was present, and at the dose of the exhibition
he paid an appropriate compliment to the
Paintings, which would induce every person
who has a love of the sacred, sublime and beau
tiful to appreciate the labors of the Artist.—
They will be exhibited again to-night.
“A Lover of Good Order.”
We cheerfully give place in our columns, to
day, to a communication with the above signa
ture, which seems to have been called forth by
a paragraph in the Sun of Tuesday morning.
What the editor of the Hun thought of the
t'ity Criminal Court last August, and what lie
uow thinks, makes very little difference. lie
never has thought that a Court of its jurisdic
tion in the t'ity of Columbus would be a ter
ror to evil does equivalent to the inconvenience
the citizen is put In performing Jury duty.
If a reform has'taken place in consequence
of its existence, we have been unable to see it.
However, we will not discuss the merits of the
institution at present. Its burthens and in
conveniences have to bo borne, at leaKt, till the
sitting of another legislature.
At the proper time we will take up tlio sub
ject, when wo fatter ourself, we .shall be able
to show thut without higher jurisdiction, its
benefits cannot be equivalent to its costs and
inconvenience to the orderly citizen.
In our notice, we intended no disrespect to
tlie offioors of the court; for all of whom we
entertain tlie highest, regard, as officers tit to
iill the same stations in a higher court.
The intimation of the “lover of good order”
why tlio writer of tire paragraph deems tiie
court unnecessary, is no reason for the sup
pression of an honest opinion, lie was, it is
t rue, under heavy bond for assault and battery,
and settled the case to tho recorded satisfac
tion of tbo couvt and plaintiff. Now what is
t he intimation worth ?
Ifow Is It.
Is it just—is it equity, that Grand and Petit
Jurors, (many of whom, if not all, earn their
daily bread by their daily labor.) are compell
ed to serve in the City Criminal Court without
one cunt of compensation ? In other courts,
jurors are allowed the pitiful sum of one dol
lar per diem. In the City Criminal Court,
the Judge has his salary, and the .Solicitor
and the Sheriff, etc., have their fees, but the
jurymen, no matter how pressing their pecu
niary circumstances may be, have to lose their
time and support themselves. And this too
of a court which is said to support itself.
Verily, this reminds us of the fellow who wits
anxious to work his passage on tho canal, and
so to do, took it a foot and lead tho horse
along the tow path to his point of destination !

The City Criminal Court.
Mr. Jte Wolf —
Dear Sir: I see from an article headed
the “Criminal Court,” in your valuable pa
per of yesterday , that your Editor thinks that
body entirely unnecessary, and is disposed to
cast ridicule upon it. It will he remembered
that only a few months ago, during the sitting
of the Superior and Criminal Courts at the
same time, your paper was exceedingly com
plimentary to the officers of the latter, and was
so well pleased with the Court, that the Editor
“could see no difference between the two, ex
cept the saw dust, which divided the two
rooms.*’ A great change has oonie over the
spirit of the Editors’ dreams oflate.
Why does he think a Court, which pays for
itself, and has been established to work a re
formation in the morals of this community,
and to bring offenders of tho law, and distur
bers of good order—no matter how small their
offence—to justice, and to answer for their
crimes! An unnecessari/ Body? Ifas it not
worked well so far? Has not every infraction
of the law, over which it had jurisdiction in
this city, been brought to its notice ? lias not
this certainty of punishment, rather than its
severity, deterred offenders'.’ Taking away
thereby all hope Os escape, which so emboldens
them '!
Perhaps the Editor’ in the Court
Room at so early an hour, will give his readers
a reason why lie thinks the Court unnecessary.

How the London Times was Hoaxed!
Macon, Nov. 21, 1850.
Editor’ d}’ the Sao. RcjntbHoun.
Sir—i notice iu your issue of yesterday some
editorial remarks aud a copy of Mr. Cuyler’s
letter to the London Times, relative to the far
famed railway duel hoax, lately published in
that paper.
You say that timo will doubtless disclose the
secret. J give you the following, as I believe,
the true solution of tho whole mystery:
1, as well as tho New Englander, and per
haps many others, supposed it to be a genuine
hoax, played off on Mr. Avrowsmith, as we are
very well capable of getting off such things in
Georgia, suspected one of the Mail Agents be
tween Augusta aud Columbus, of having a
hand in it, and mooting him shortly after the
appearance of tho story in the .American pa
pers, accused him of my suspicions, when he
stated to me that he had amused an idle hour,
in fabricating the story, and getting into con
versation with an Englishman who was pass
ing over the route, on tlio subject of southern
atrocities, read him his effort.
The traveler requested the copy of the story,
which he gave him, without suspicion of the
use tlias would be made of it, and you may im
agine his astonishment, as well as amusement,
when it made its appearance in the Times, as
a true and genuine scene, as witnessed by the
acute Mr. Arrowsmith, on his passage from.
Macon to Augusta oil the 28th of August last.
Should you deem the matter of sufficient im
portance, T think the above statement can he
verified by affidavit. My interview with the
Mail Agent was brief, and 1 have not seen him
since to learn any additional particulars.—
Should you desire it, I will do so, and furnish
you with such further particulars as he may
disclose. Yours truly, Jo.
Georgia-Made Catawba Wino.
The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 23d
iust., says:
“On Friday last Mr. Axt, of Crawibrdvilk,
already favorably known in Georgia as a wine
producer, exhibited at tho store of Thomas P.
.Stovall & Cos., some specimens of wine made
by him from the Catawba grape, grown in
Georgia during the years 1855 and 1856.
There were two samples of the vintage of 1800,
and one of that of 1855—a1l known as Dry
Catawba. Several cotyioiseurs were present
and smacked their lips over these wines, be
sides several others, who, though unassuming
upon this abstruse subject, know a good arti
cle when they close down on it; Mr. Axt’s
wines bore the test triumphantly. Those of
1850 wore limpid and pure, having scarcely
tho suspicion of sediment about them. The
flavor was pronounced excellent—of good body
and fruity taste. The wine of 1855 was uni
versally considered the best, having improved
by time. This demonstated that native wine,
of the Catawba grape, will keep with us, when
properly made. A bottle of Loiigworth’s Dry
Catawba, of the vintage of 1852, was opened
at the same time, and proved to be of excel
lent. quality. This further demonstrated the
same fact.
Mr. Axt has achieved for himself and for
the South a great result, in tho successful in
troduction of this important branch of indus
try into this State. His wine we would place
in the very front rank of American wines of the
same class, equal to the best Dry Catawba
from Longworth’s or Work’s cellars.
Message of the Governor of Arkansas.
The Legislature of Arkansas met ou the 4th
iust., and received the annual message of Gov.
Conway. It is devoted entirely to State af
fairs. The State finances are in good condi
tion. A balance of $424,125, in gold aud sil
ver, remains in the treasury. The Governor
reports the State as rapidly growing in popu
lation and wealth. In 1852 the assessment of
taxable property amounted to $42,000,080;
that of 1850 is $70,758,045 —showing an in
crease iu four years of $27,859,901, or nearly
seventy per cent., and he anticipates that, with
prtidence, skill and economy, the State will be
able, by tho time tho bonds given by her lull
duo, to pay them in full, without oppressive
taxation.
Immense Growth.
The population of Cincinnati within the
corporate limits, is stated to be 470,000. Tho
exports from that city for the year 1856-’0
amounted to $50,744,78(1: in 1851-’2 to oniy
$08,284,890. This gives an idea of the great
increase of business within four years. Tho
imports into city the last year amounted to
$75,896,901.
Gold to Kansas.
It is stated by tlio St. Louis Intelligencer,
that $1,000,000 have been sent to Kansu from
brokers in that city, for the purchase of Kan
sas lands.

Message sent into both Houses by His Excel
lency Gov. Bragg. We commend it to their
attention and attempt no synopsis beyond a
mere referenofe to some figures.
The debt of North Carolina is set down at
$5,038,892 55. and by virtue of acts passed
by the last Legislature, bonds to the further
amount of $1,180,000 are yet to be sold and
the proceeds to be applied to certain specific
purposes. There will also be provision re
quired to be made to meet the State’s subscrip
tion to the Western Extension of the Central
Hoad—the State endorsement to tho bonds of
the Charlotte Road, when called for, &c., &e.
Tho revenue for the p*kstyear, from all sources
amount to $891,901 97, to which is to be ad
! ded something additional fur deficits by Sher
iffs, since paid, &c., making the whole amount
$495,116 81. The ordinary expenses of the
State government for the next two years are
put at $170,000, or an average of $85,000 per
annum. The amount of interest ou the pres
ent bonded debt of the State $302,328’ 15, and
additional interest upion bonds to ho issued
this year, $70,000 together with $25,000 prin-
I cipul for the Yadkin and New River Naviga
| tion Companies making $308,164 15, which
: with the $75,000 ordinary expenses will make
the sum of $474,164 15, being considerably
J more than the revenue provided.— Wilmington

A Singular Flower.
Dr. Peck an English traveler, recently ex
i liibitod to a learned society in England a sing
ular specimen of a flower which lie obtained
in Egypt from a mummy, and for which no
place in botany has yet been assigned. The
Doctor had it nine years, and bus exhibited it
a, thousand times by dipping it into water a
few minutes, when it gradually expands or
blossoms. It is, when open, about one inch iu
diameter. Its age is unknown. It was pre
sented to the Doctor for iiis medical services
in Egypt by au Arab, who asserted that he
took it from the breast of a mummy, a female
high-priest, and that it was considered a cu
riosity. It has the uppearnnee, in its dry
state, of a small poppy head ; hut when expand
ed by soaking in water,pt resembles a beauti
fully radiated starry flower like the ohrysan
theum.

Recent advices from Rio, by the Alice at

loading for the United States. You will not bo
a little surprised when I tell you thatemigra
ion is rapidly increasing here; the government
is well aware of its great advantages, and has
succeeded in attracting the attention of Europe
an settlers. The French and Portuguese are
increasing rapidly, and the English, Irish and
Scotch arc coming in thousands and settling on
the finest lands in tiie world. Brazil will as

Steamboat Accident.
On Tuesday night, about 11 o’clock, the
Fairfield, Capt. IV. W. Buckley, with 672 bales
of cotton, and a large number of passengers
from Demopolis, struck a .snag when within two
or three miles of Mobile, and punched a hole
in her starboard bow, about two feet by three;
but the captain promptly run the boat ashore,
and proceeding to town in the yawl got up
steam on tho Selma and quickly went to the
relief of the Fairfield, and sent down the pas
sengers and cargo in safety. That portion of
the cotton which had been thrown overboard
at the moment of the accident, had meanwhile
beea secured by the crew, and was brought
down by the Heroine, Capt. Buckley with
great energy succeeded also in bringing his
damaged boat to the city, where she was at
once put under repair.
Great praise is awarded by all to Capt. Buck
ley for his prompt assiduity ; and to the lib
eral rule of Cox, Bratnard A Cos., which allows
any commander connected with their line to
press into service whichever of theirmany boats
may be at hand when an accident has occur

Heavy Loss of Diamonds.
A gentleman named do Souza, who arrived
off Havre two days ago, by the Franc Cointois,
in his hurry to land, would not wait an hour
for the turn of the sea tide, which would ena

a pilot boat. In getting from the vessel into
the boat lie let slip overboard a small box con
taining diamonds, which he hoped would pro
duce him a sum of €290,000. A bony was
immediately placed to mark the spot, and an
experienced diver was engaged to seek to re
cover the lost treasure, in case of success
he is to receive 1.000f., and lOOf. if unsuc

American Railways.
The following is extracted from the circular
of the Messers. G. A. Thompson & Cos., dated
London, Oot. 21: “EVery in both the develop
ment of American Railways becomes more
striking, and the returns which the leading
lines fairly earn and pay upon their stocks are
so great that they can hardly fail to attract
more general attention from English investors
before’ ioug. English railway investments
may be said to yield at present prices a max
imum return of 5 per cent., whereas, it is a
very moderate statement to say that the prin
cipal American railway stock yield a maximum
return of 10 per cent. The management of
American railways, judged from the careful
and minute reports issued by the boards of di -
rection, and tiie large amount of business con
ducted on the lines is admitted by all who
have examined tin; subject to be mosts.- tifac
tory, and deserving of confidence. American
securities are now largely held in England, as
well as in France and Germany, and those who
have gone into them with duo care have in re
cent years derived returns on their invest
ments not attainable in this country, and with
those parties the disposition to make further
purchases is quite general. With others who
have merely general impressions regarding
America and Americans, derivered from news
paper reading, undue prejudices prevail.
These prejudices are not’surprising, when the
leading journals of this country loses no op
portunity of publishing reports calculated to
increase them; but time will show that re
ports recently published, prejudicial to the
American character, have not been sufficiently
authenticated. To those who arc conversant
will American business, it is well known that
the merchants and bankers of New York and
other principal cities of the Union merit the
highest respect for the spirit of integrity by
which they are guided in business, combined
with the most enlightened enterprise. Well
selected investments may be made in Ameri
ca with as much confidence, us to security, as
in any country in the world, and they yield
greater returns than Can be obtained else
where.”
Gallant Boys.
A few days ago two sons of Mr. .T. S. Whil
hoite, of Monterey, in Owen county, Kentucky,
one ten years old and the other eight, rode
their father’s horse to the Kentucky river to
water. Tlio horse plunged in and attempted to
swim across the river with both the boys upon
his hack, when near the middle of the stream
they tried to turn tlio horse back towards the
other shore. This made him capsize, and both
the hoys slipped off into the water, and the
horse left them. As they slipped off the elder
said to the younger.” “Hold on to me, and
I’ll swim out with you.” lie did hold on, and
tho other actually swam ashore with him upon
his back, dragging at the same time a tin
bucket which the younger had upon his arm.
Vermont and Kansas.
Tiie telegraph advises us that Vermont has
come up to the sci’atoh at last, and voted $20,-
000 to aid the Free Soil cause in Kansas.
We are glad of this. It set'les the question as
to whether any of the Northern States are rea
dy to go in an organized capacity into the con
test, and it is a point we want to have decided.
We can meet them if we have to meet them,
but the difficulty lias been in determining that
a contest is inevitable. But if the States of the
North go as States, to determine the social con
dition of Kansas, then the Southern States, as
States, must have a word or two to say upon
the subject. We have not favored such a
course. We have preferred leaving Kansas to
her fate, and have thought it wise, of our own
accord, to give an unnatural extention to slav
ery. But if the North, defeated in her effort
to grasji the government of the country, will
indemnify herself by grasping the territory of
the country, we must meet this as we must any
other form of aggression, and drive her back.
The amount of effort the State of Vermont pro
poses to expend upon this work of outrage is
not great, and it would have been more credi
table if in exhibiting the purpose, she had ex
hibited also the daring of a brigand. But the
character of the action does not depend upon
the extent of it, and avo present the matter as
one which demands attention from the South
ern States.— Charleston Standard.
Preserve Your Hair.
To those Avho are not aware that each parti
cular hair on the head is a hollow tube,
through which the fluids circulate Avhich con
vey nourishment, and impart its peculiar shade
of color, it seems incomprehensible how resto
ratives can produce a renovating influence.
While preparations of this nature were entrus
ted to quacks, and ignorant manufacturers of
perfumes and cosmetics, much and irreparable
mischief was inflicted on many a credulous
and deluded sufferer. But when scientific
men like Professor Wood, bring the lights of
physiology and cbomistry to bear upon the
treatment of such specialities, the result is the
complete success which the certificates of thou
