iaAokst city circulation.
New Advertisements.
Our readers are particularly requested to
read the uew advertisements in this issue of
the Daily Sun. Those who liberally patronize
the Press, deservedly merit a generous portion
of public patronage, and wo hope they will
receive it.
Meeting in the Fifth Ward.
We aro requested to stato that there will be
held this evening, at. the Court House, a meet
ing of the voters of the Fifth Ward of this city
—having for its object the selection of proper
candidates to serve as Aldermen.
Citizens irrespective of party are invited to
attend the meeting.
The Circus.
The second exhibition of Spaulding & itog
ers Combined Circus came off last night, and
we hear that those who went to see, were
highly pleased with the performances. In
tho afternoon, Mad’ll Agnes made a successful
uscent up the wire, to the astonishment and
gratification of the assembled beholders.
“Just sui'li amusement now uni) then.
Is relished by the wisest men.”
Death of Itev. George W. Fournell.
We learn from tho Kufaula (Ala.) Spirit,
that the Itev. George W. Pournell died in
that place, on the 19th instant. Ho was an
old resident of Eufaula, and a local preach
er of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the
time of his demise. His piety and Christian
graces endeared him to all who knew him. “To
die is hut to live again.”
That Craft—Reminiscences!
There is also a black, rakish, piratical look
ing craft in the back-ground, carrying no flag,
but displaying the name of “Sun,” which will
take tho chances that may offer, and fire into
any unsuspecting vessel that presumes too
much on its “neutrality” Generally supposed
to be a pirate on tho high seas, always shotted
for a broadside into any American vessel en
gaged with an enemy. —Columbus Enquirer.
Another instance of “Satan reproving sin ! ”
If wo remember aright, our neighbor was
“Bomo himself” for setting astride the politi
cal fence about the time General Scott was
nominated for President. It was clinched to
the aforesaid fence with all the power of ad
herence so inherent to the coon family. And
in those days, there was much demand for
poles, American poles, to poko the Enquirer
from its non-committal position. Finding
that the whig party would not sneeze when it
took snnfl—it wisely consented to sneeze when
the whig party took a pinch; and it fell
submissively into tho line and formed the rear
guard. And its professions thence forth were
louder and more patriotic than those of the
commander-in-chief of the Kaccoon Regiment.
Is it mortified that we have exhibited a politi
cal preference for a man whom every South
ern state, save one, have supported ?
Any how, the Enquirer must not be hard on
the Sun or deprecate our taste, because we pre
fer a Ruck to a Coon ! More shot in the lock
er; but this sun stroke will suffice this time.

California Cotton.
Wo have upon our desk before us a sample
of California-grown cotton, as white as the
drifted snow, and as silky as the down on the
breast of a cygnet. This is a part of the first
crop, but a few pods, all told, that has ever
been produced in this state. It was raised, it
appears, as far north as Slmsta, and is equal
in staplo to anything wo have ever seen in
Georgia or Alabama. It does not seem, how
ever, to have been well ginned, inasmuch as
we find a couple of seeds hid away iu its un
sullied texture. Hut then we suppose cotton
gins are hot quite so common as gold washers
in California, nor will they he for many years
to come. Yet no doubt our plains will be
white with the bursting bolls of this useful
plant loug after the rocker and arrastra have
ceased from their labors in the mountains. In
truth, wo own to a strango sensation as we
look upon the little lock lying there before us,
so gossamer like that we dare not breatho full
upon it, lest it float away like the downy seed
we chased in our school-boy days. In this lit
tle wool-liko lock we see new sources of pro
duction—new avenues of wealth opening to
the industry and enterprise of the future. In
it wo have an assurance that California will
always be able to clotho her own children, per
haps bo ablo to spare something towards cloth
ing the people of loss favored lauds —Alta
California.
New Steamer—New Boston—At Geneva.
Wo learn with pleasure that the last i mining
and safe steamer. New Boston, (from the Cliat
tahooeheo) is oxpected to be at Geneva this
week, and will run regularly iu that trade.
Cotton can now be carried off, and what is al
so important, money cau be kept there to pay
for cotton. With the Alary Clifton and Barges,
certainly the cotton can get away and groce
ries cotno up.
Geneva is now in a condition if sho will be
have herself as sho ought, to do as well for us
as Montgomery. The good roads to and from
it gives it a decidod advantage over ull othor
places.
Go it Geneva; we want to see you the best
market in Alabama. The people will sustaiu
you if you prove to them that you are worthy,
and this you can do. —Elba (Ala.) Democrat.
A Wrinkle about the age of Horses.
A few days ago we met a gentleman from
Alabama, who gave us a piece of information
in regard to ascertaining the age of a horse,
after he or she has passed the ninth year,
which was new to us, and will be we are sure
to most of our readers. It is this : After the
horse is nine years old, a wrinkle comes on
the eye led at tho upper corner of the lower
lid, and every year thereafter has one well de
fined wrinkle for each year over nine. If, for
instance a horse has three wrinkles, he is
twelve; if four, he is thirteen. Add the num
ber of wrinkles to nine, and you will always
get it. So says the gentleman, and he is con
fident it will never fail. Asa good many peo
ple have horses over nine, it is easily tried.
If true, the horse dentist must give up his
trade.— Southern Planter.

Washington, March 31, 1828.
My Dear Nephew: —l thank you for your
kind and affectionate letter, and assure you
its suggestions are all in strict accordance
with my own feelings. It does not appear to
me unreasonable to believe that, the friendship
of this life are perpetuated in heuveu. Flesh
and blood, indeed, cannot inherit the kingdom
of God; but I know not why that which con
stitutes a pure source of happiness on earth,
individual affection and love, may not survive
the tomb. Indeed, is not the principle of hap
piness to the sentiment being essentially tho
same in heaven and on earth ? The love of
God and of tho good beings whom he has crea
ted, and admiration of the material universe
which ho has formed, can there be other
sources of happines than those to the human
mind, unless it is to alter the whole structure
and character ?
And again, it may be asked how can this
world be rightly called a scene of probation
aud discipline, if these affections, which we
are commanded to cherish and cultivate here,
are to leave us on the threshold of the other
world ? These views, and many others, would
seem to lead to the belief that earthly affec
tions, purified and exalted, are fit to carry us
to the abode of the blessed. Yet, it must be
confessed that there are some things in the
New Testnmont which may possibly counten
ance a different conclusion. The words of our
Saviour, especially in regard to the woman
who had seven husbands, deserve deep reflec
tion. lam free to confess that some descrip
tions of heavenly happiness are so etheral and
sublainted ns to fill me with a strange sort of
terror. Even that which you quote, that our
departed friends “are as the angels of God,”
penetrates my soul with a dreadful emotion.
Like an angel of God, indeed, I hope she is,
in purity, in happiness, and in immortality;
butjl would fain hope that in kind remem
brance of those she has left—in a lingering
human sympathy and human love, she may
yet be as God originally created her—a little
lower than tho angels.
My dear nephew, I cannot pursue these
thoughts, nor turn back to see what 1 have
written. Adieu. D. W.
Taking it Coolly.
The political papers of tho recently defeated
party are writing and publishing facetious par
agraphs, to show how complaisant they can be
under the most sad political reverses. This is
all well euough—the defeat has not touched
ed the pocket nervo of these political gentry—
for it is a well ascertained truth that a minori
ty party pay their party organs better than
the majority do theirs, But what shall be
said of a cotton buyer who ventures largely
when the market is up—pays 12}c. for a good
lot of bales, sends them to Mobile and they
are sold for 11 cents—charges deducted?
Wouldn’t you think this would hurt,, and pro
duce a lachrymal rather than a mirthful mood?
We saw a cotton buyor in this predicament
yosterday. He was sitting in his office, with
his “advices” from Mobile iu hand and his
cotton samples spread out before him—cotton
he had bought a few days ago at 12J, and
which had been sold iu Mobilo at 11 and a
fraction. Yet he laughed, and didn’t mind it
much, lie took it coolly, and proved himself
a philosopher. The pocket nerve, in this ease,
had not affected the other nerves. We pre
dict that philosophical gentlemen will make
money yet before the season is over.— .Vont.
Messenger ‘27th.
Owing to the fact that New Orleans is below
the level of the river at high water, the dead
are not buried, but placed in vaults above
ground : our cisterns are huge wooden reser
voirs, with charcoal, above ground ; our hous
es are built without dug foundations. Our
omnibuses go mostly by mule power.
GENERAL ITEMS.
An adventurer, writing from California,
says : “A man’s life here is worth about fifty
cents in the dollar.”
The Russian grand Duke Constantine talks
of visiting tho United States next spring. He
will be greeted by the lion hunters.
Dr. John W. Gorham, we see, is appointed
United States Consul, at Jerusalem. We ex

Jordan.”
A negro who gave bis name as John C. Fre
mont was committed to jail day before yester
day for disorderly conduct. This makes the

Hon. Mr. Herbert, Member of Congress, ac
cording to tho San Francisco Californian, left
that city, in the steamer of the 30th, for the
East, adding the friendly wish: “We sincere
ly wish he may never return. We have no
further use for him.”
The Land Office has ordered that the land
sale in Kansas on the 17th should be stopped,
if speculators appeared as bidders.
It will hardly be credited that the State His
torical Society of Wisconsin, so young a sister
in our Confederation, has expended more mon
ey for books tho past year than any other so
ciety of the same character in the United
States.
We learn from the Picayune that a detach
ment of 174 recruits left New Orleans barracks
last Monday, on the bal k New Empire, for
Fort Myers, Fa., to join the sth regiment of
Infantry, now under orders for active service
in that State.
Another royal betrothal is in prospective,—
the heir presumptive to the crown of Holland
being said to have fallen desperately 1 in love

The vitriol man has turned up at Washing
ton. Ladies’ dresses have been spoiled by the

cealed in a cellar and watching his opportuni
ty, projects the destructive matter through the
grating by means of a syringe.
The story going about that a doctor in New
Orleans has trained gallinippersto do the work
of leeches is, to quote from tho modern clas
sics, a “ sell.” The name given for tho doc
tor’s is quite enough to show the joke. It is
Bledehu—i. e., Bleed you.
Prince Alfred, the second son of Queen Vic
toria, has gone to travel and study on the con
tinent. The little Royal Highness is the fourth
child of his parents, and is just twelve years
old. But he is “ attended by Lieut. General
Sir Frederick Stovin, and Lieut. Lowell.”
It is said that a company of capitalists of
New York and Savannah are proposing to es
tablish a line of monthly steamers from New
York, via Savannah, to St. Thomas, Barbadoes,
Demarara and Para, and intend memoralizing
Congress for a grant of one hundred and eighty
thousand dollars per annum, for ten years, as
compensation for carrying the mails on these
routes.
The waters of the Chesapeake are now uni
ted with the great Lakes. The first boat
through the North Branch (Pa.) and Junction
Canals, arrived at Elmira, N. Y., on Monday,
from Pittstown, Pa. She was four days on
the passage, and came richly freighted with
coal. The arrival of the first boat was greet
ed with great rejoicings tiy the Elmira people.
This new and important channel of internal
communication is 18 miles long, was commenc

All these, and many other peculiarities, look
curious to the eye of the stranger. He feels
that he is not merely in a large city, bnt a city
of peculiar, distinctive, strange, heterogeneous
character. And the general judgment is, “ I
like New Orleans.”— Picayune.
Cotton Estimates.
Wright’s New York Circular of last Wednes
day, rather checks the late tendency to exag
gerated estimates of the cotton crop. He
says:
“In my last circular, I ventured upon the
opinion that the crop for tlusseason would not
reach 3,000,000 bales. I have nothing since
from the South to induce me to enlarge it; on
the contrary, I see more and more reason to
reiterate it. Some parties in New Orleans,
influenced by heavy, receipts are disposed to
name a large figure. Let the receipts be light
for a few weeks and the same gentlemen would
drop at once to 280,000 to 2,900,000 as the
maximum; the receipts this season if relied
upon as the indication of probable crop, before
March next, will tend to mislead and cause
disappointment. There are and have boen
since the season began, unusual inducements
for planters to hurry their crops to market,
and with the exception of Mobile, the facilities
for so doing have been good; the only sur
prise is, that the total does not show an excess
up to this date of 80,000 to 100,000 bales as
compared with the same date last year ; it was
quite within the range of probability and yet
is entirely consistent with a crop resulting in
somewhat less than 3,000,000 bales. Receipts
show a decrease ns compared with last year,
and large as they are at the South it is not pro
bable that after next week they will be again
as much as in any week last year with perhaps
an accidental exception, until after the mid
dle of April next. Exports are still small, and
for Liverpool must necessarily contiuue so for
some time. Buying for all markets iu the
Soutli is free except for Great Britain.
Arrest of a Supposed Murderer.
Constable Braggiotti arrested, on Saturday
last, a man named Edward Brady, who is
charged with shooting, in August, 1855, ut
Camp Jupiter, Florida, a boy four years of
age, the son of Mr. llobct Faulder. Mr. Faul
der appeared befor Magistrate Rhett and made
oath to the above fact.
Brady is now in jail awaiting the requisi
tion of the Governor Florida.— Chur. Standard.
Disappointed.
The London papers were much disappointed
by the result of the October election in Penn
sylvania. They expected it to be for Fre
mont. Accordingly some of them get angry
and scurrilous. The London Times especially
takes it very unkindly, and says that “Mr. Bu
chanan is a thorough faced demagogue and un
scrupulous partisan, and, though unexception
able in private life, has grown gray among all
manner of intrigues aud mamx'uvcrs.”
“A Fillmourner Hat.”
We acknowledge the receipt, this morning,
through the Post Office, of a “Fillmourner
Hat. presented to Johncing J. Hooper, Editor
of the Mail, for distinguished services in the
Into campaign.” The “hat” is an antique
mourning bonnet, of the blackest black aud
the most diabolical cut. If a widow ever wore
it, she intended to remain “a widow indeed.”
These delicate little attentions of our demo
cratic friends have multiplied on us lately.
Last week, we were made Barber on one Salt
River Summer and Engineer on another. We
hope our Buchanan friends will find it as easy
to arr inge tho distribution ol’ offices and gifts

Preserve Your Hair.
To those who are not aware that each parti
cular hair on the head is a hollow tube,
through which the fluids circulate which con
vey nourishment, and impart its peculiar shade
of color, it seetns incomprehensible how resto

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

men like Professor Wood, bring tbe lights of
physiology and chomistry to bear upon tbe
treatment of such specialities, tbe result is the
complete success which the certificates of thou

Both spinners and manufacturers have been very firm it

been done in yarns, but prices are well supported.
Tuesday’s market was well attended by local and cimniiv
millers; a fair consumptive demand was expeiiemW
especially for tbe new red American Wheats, which at,
highly valued for color and strength; there were alb
parcels of this description sold forexport to Spain ; whit,
