COLUMBUS: Friday Morning, Nov. Sifi, 1856. 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. Official Vote of North Carolina. Aggregate vote in August 102,516 Bragg 57,555 Gilmer 44,061 Majority 12,594 Aggregate vote in November 85,122 Buchanan 48,2.36 Fillmore 36,886 Majority 11,350 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. FURTHER BY THE PERSIA. Commercial Intelligence. Liverpool, Nov. 15. —Cotton Market.—The Cotton market has been dull for the week, with yielding rates on lower grades. On middling and higher grades there has been an advance of l-10d. The sales of the week are 41,000 bales, including 5000 for speculators and 2500 on export. The sales of Friday, the 14th, were 6,000 bales —closing steady. The quo tations given are: Orleans, fair, 7^<J; mid dling, 7d. Uplands, fair, 7J; middling, 6J. The stock of cotton at Liverpool is 397,000 bales, of which 298,000 are American cotton. Liverpool Breadstufks. —Wheat has de clined 3d., and the quotations give: Red, B(a> 95.; white, 9s 3d@9s lOd. Flour has lower ed its rates Is., and quotations are changed thus: Canal, 30(0j,335; Baltimore, 32f,345; Ohio, 35030s Cd. Corn, yellow, is rated 345. Provisions. —In this department the mar ket is dull, but without change of importance. State of Trade. —Advices from Manches ter and the Cotton manufacturing districts, were regarded favorable. London Money Market. —This market shows increasing stringency, and the Bank of England has advanced the general rate of dis count to 7 per cent. Consols closed on Fri day, 14th, at 91£091J. The bullion in the Bank shows a decrease of £66,000. The Latest. —Advices from London to the hour of the steamer’s departure on Saturday, 15th, stato that the funds lmd recovered from the depression at first produced by tho change in the Bank rate, and business was active. Paris Bourse. —There hav boen surmises of a favorable change and of an increase of bullion in the Bank of France, hut the last accounts show no improvement. It is report ed that the reluctance of the Emperor against a suspension of specie, has been overcome, and if this is the case it is believed the Bank of France will bo able recur to more favorable discounts, with discrimination against long bills. The Bullion list of the Bank of France shows a decease of 3,00U,000f. Havre, Nov. 12.—Cotton —This market is quiet, with sales for the week of 3,590 bales, closing tres ordinaire Orleans 109f. General Intelligence. A tide gale and storm at Liverpool, on the 12th instant, caused considerable damage to shipping. Among other results, the ship Lou isiana, Capt. Sullivan, from Liverpool for New Orleans, was driven aground on the “Middle Bank,” but without loss of life. Steamers were engaged in recovering her cargo. The Times and Post deny that any inter ruption has occurred to the cordial alliance of France and England. The Registrar of the Northern Railwsy Company (English) has absconded in default to £159,000. The Russian Ambassador to France has been favorably received. Nothing of special interest is reported as to other qeestions exciting attention. It is reported that the Persians have suffer ed a repulse near Herat. The steam ship City of Baltimore, from Phil adelphia 30th ult, for Liverpool, was spoken by the Persia on the 16th instant, ono day out. Webster on the Death of his Wife. Ilis speeches and writings give no finer in dications of the majesty and greatness of Mr. Webster’s mind, than is afforded by the follow ing letter. It is contained in his “private cor respondence,” recently published. 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 pect, next, to have somebody asking for a char ter to run a ferry, say, to “the other side of 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 third Fremont.— 1 Vheeliruj Times. 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 with tho Princess Alice of England, and made overtures for a matrimonial alliance. The vitriol man has turned up at Washing ton. Ladies’ dresses have been spoiled by the score, in consequence. The wretch lies con 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 ed in 1853, and $400,000. 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 anion heir own partisans.— Mont. Mail, TELEGRAPHIC. Telegraphed to the Daily bun. From New York.

The furniture in the house was all saved. The loss, about $1,500, was fully covered, we understand, by insurance, in the Mutual Insurance Company, and was own ed by E.
