Wednesday Morning, Dec. 3, 1856.
LARGKST CITY CIRCULATION.
TO EDITORS AND PRINTERS.
I propose to veil ft hiiif interest in the HUM newspaper,
consisting of the type and fixtures on which it is print
ed, with the right of using my Cylinder press for print
ing the paper together with the patronage, good will,
Ac. For tins I ask $2,000 cash, a gentleman of quali
tlcation und experience as an editor, would be preferred.
The paper has a good subscription and a growing adver
tising patronage, both of which can be largely increased
by a little exertion.
I also propose to lease, to good practlral printers, the
job department of my establishment. It is well pro
vided with every variety of modern stylos of type and
fixtures for facilitating work,and a lioe medium Cylin
der I’ross and u 1100 Curd Printing Machine. The Job
Department will give employment to two good printers
at remunerating prices.
If 1 sell the interest in the paper, the Job office will
not lie leased. Or, if I lease the job office, the interest
in the paper will not he sold. My object in doing either,
is to relieve myself of a portion of the labors of the es
tablishment. TIIOMAB IieWOLF.
Steamboats and the River.
On yesterday our wharves were filled with
steamboats, and the river with plenty of wa
ter. The following crafts were up yesterday:
Cusseta, Oswichee, Gen. Stokes and the Flor
ence.
To Mr. Jordan, clerk of theCusseta, wo ten
der the thanks of all hands in the Sun office
for that unusually fine barrel of Apalachicola
oysters.
Had Better Look Out.
Our citizens will doubtless find it to their
advantage to keep a weather eye open on eve
ry unknown individual prowling about without
any visible means of support.
About this city petty thefts have been com
mitted with great impunity. Wo have a.Sun
beam to cast upon them.
Ran Off
. Just before dusk yesterday evening, the
horse of Mr. A. S. Hays dashed off with the
Buggy on Oglethorpe street, and capsized the
vehicle and separated from it in Bryan street,
just as he was entering Broad. The damage
cousists iu a crook of the dash and putting
one wheel slightly out of joint. No person
hurt; but several teamsters were badly alarm
ed.

The .Superior Court commenced its session
again on Monday morning, and took up the
case of Thomas Terry, charged with the mur
der of Silas Doles, in this county in the year
J 850. After u patient examination of witness
es, &c., which lasted two days, the testimony
was closed about 7 o’clock yesterday evening.
The argument was progressing when our pa
per was put to press. Solicitor Oliver, Dough
erty, Jonls & Jones, and Gen. Williams, on
the part of State, and Holt, Welborn, Thorn
ton, Carithcrs and Colquit, for the defence.
This case was tried in 1854 and a conviction
of involuntary manslaughter rendered. The
case was taken to the Supreme Court on some
point, and reversed and sent back for re-trial.
Commercial Convention.
At a meeting oi‘ the citizens of Russel coun
ty, convened at Crawford on Monday, Ist inst.,
the following gentlemen were appointed dele
gates to the Commercial Convention which is
to assemble at Savannah on the Btii inst:
Capt. T. F. Murphy, Edgar Garlick,
W. H. Maynor, lion. 15. 11. 15aker,
ltobt. Howard, S. Boykin,

Dr. W. A. Walker.
Have put Him Through.
Donbon, one of the party arrested hero last
summer on charge of blowing up the iron
chests in Duck it Dibble’s store, and who broke
Jail and was subsequently arrested in Mont
gomery for further buglarious operations in
that city, has been tried and convicted in the
Cirouit Court of Montgomery county, and
sentenced to the Penitentiary of Alabama for
ten years.
Col. Lilly and other outside thieves belong
ing to the company, can address him in future
at Wctumpka, Ala.
The Besult In Texas.
The Galveston News of tho 15tli, says : We
tiud it difficult to gather tho returns of this
State. So far as heard from, tho Democrats
have carried every coanty. It is now believed
that Texas will give Buchanan and Brecken
ridge from 111,000 to 15,000 majority.
James A. Melton, Deputy Postmaster at
Dadeville, Alabama, charged with taking mon
ey from a letter addressed to Seago at At
lanta, was tried in the Federal Court at Mont
gomery last week, and convicted. He has
been sentenced to the Penitentiary for ten
years.
Hobbing and Counterfeiting Associations.
The Tennessee Valley, published at Hun
tersville, Marshall county, Ala., says great ex
citement prevails there in consequence of the
formation of robbing and counterfeiting asso
ciations in that county. It snyß :
We forbear mentioning names or particulars,
as it is not tho duty of the press to run ahead
of developments which judicial investigation
alone should disclose. The whole affair is
now in the hands of Mr. Justice Barclay, who
will doubtless apply to the subject that earn
est scrutiny and firm integrity of purpose for
which he has been so justly distinguished.
Bale of City Lots in Brunswick.
Tho Brunswick Herald of Nov. 29, says :
This sale took place in accordance with the
advertisement, on tho 27th and 28th inst. As
we anticipated, the company of purchasers
was not so large as at the May sale—hut when
we take into consideration the eligibility of the
lots sold, it will be seen that former prieos
were fully sustained. We were not present
at the sale, but are told that tho bidding was
spirited, and iu one or two instances, remarka
bly so. The number of lots sold was 193, at
an aggregate of $5(5,020; making an average
of $291.27 per lot; the highest mark being
$3,625 for water lots, and the lowest $155 for
resident lots. There were 32 purchasers, from
different parts of Georgia, South (’arolina and
Florida. One substantial firm purchased a
water lot with a view of immediately erecting
a cotton press, and the business connected there
with.
Indian Depredations in Texas.
The San Antonio Ledger,.of the 15th alt.,
furnishes the following intelligence:
We regret to say that parties of Indians are
again about. On the Ist iust. they were seen
near the Guadalupe, and intelligence of the
fact having reached Camp Verde, a party of
ten men with a guide were sent out, and after
wards on the receipt of farther tidings, another
party was despatched with the view of over
taking the Indians. At Kerrsvillethe soldiers
were joined by seven citizens,, and proceeding
on the search they found the camp of the In
dians, but, notwithstanding every exertion was
made they failed to discover the owners. They
persevered in their endeavors until the guide
informed them that it was useless to do so any
longer, when they returned. The citizens re
mained behind, and at daybreak on the second
morning afterwards, they wore attacked by the
Indians.
Having unfortunately omitted to keep guard,
they were completely taken by surprise, and
the melancholy result was that two of the par
ty were killed, three wounded, and two are
missing. The wounded men got back to the
settlements, but up to the 12th inst., the miss
ing men had not been heard from, and it is
feared, therefore, that they also have been
killed. When news of the affray reached Camp
Verde, parties were again sent out indifferent
directions. Besides the military, several citi
zens of Kerrsville are also in pursuit. We
doubt not that all parties will exert themselves
to the utmost, and if they come in contact with
the Indians we are satisfied they will give a
good account of thorn.
One day last week a party of Indians visit
ed the rancho of Mr. Edwards, on the Culebra.
They camped within sight of the house all
night, arid marched off the horses in the morn
ing. These, however, were recovered with the
exception of three. On the next day they
went at Mr Gallagher’s, and one of them was
wounded in the arm by a Mexican belonging
to his establishment. The inmates had only
six shooters, otherwise the Indians would not
have escaped so easily.
A family encamped below Castroville had
six horses stolen by Indians, and a negro re
turning to the camp on horseback had a very
narrow escape, he and the horse being both
wounded.
On Saturday, Hermann ltunge, of Sister
dale, Comal county, was killed by Indians.—
He left his house to search for somo horses,
and had not gone far from his residence when
he was attacked. Mr. Range was armed with
gun and revolver, and was in all likelihood
taken unawares. There were four arrows stick
ing in the body, throe in the breast, and one
under the arm, so that ho was probably about
to fire when he was shot. Mr. Bunge was a
most promising young man, and his death is
the cause of much regret. What makes the
matter more melancholy is the fact that he was
the sole support of his father, (who is insane)
and a large family.
A letter from Washington says:—As yet
the British government has indicated no pur
pose to fill Mr. Crampton’s vacancy; and
though Mr. Lumley, the former Secretary, has
a sort of roving commission as charge d’affairs
not to the United States, however, the Lega
tion is officially closed. It is given out in di
plomatic circles that anew Minister will be ap
pointed after the inauguration of Mr. Buchan
an. Our diplomatic affairs have been very
well transacted without the aid of such a func
tionary, and it is quite unimportant, iu any as
.pect, whether one be sent or not.
The Official Vote.
All the counties in the State have been of
ficially heard from except Calhoun (new) and
Warwick, and Buchanan’s majority exclusive
of those two is 29,690. Fillmore’s reported
majorty in Warwick is 32, but Calhoun has
probably given a sufficient majority the other
way, to make “Old Buck.s majority in the
Sttite about 29,690. We will publish a table
of the complete official vote as soon as Calhoun
and Warwick are heard from. —Petersburg
Express.
Skillful Surgical Operation.
A formidable operation was performed at
the Massachusetts Genoral Hospital ou Satur
day last, by Professor Henry J. Bigelow, one
of the surgeons of the institution. The patient
was a girl twelve years of age. About six
months since, a tumor made its appearance on
the hard palate, and continued to increase in
size till it nearly filled the whole mouth, caus
ing at times suffocation. The little sufferer
was put under the influence of ether, and with
out iter being sensible of any pain, nearly the
whole of tho superio-maxilitiry none, together
witli the diseased mass, was removed. —Boston
Times.
Antidote for the Effects of Strychnine.
A case lias recently been reported in which
a man who had taken four grains of strych
nine was kept uuder the influence of chloro
form until au emetic was final, after several
unsuccessful attempts, induced to operate.
The spasms returned in a sow minutes, how
ever, and the patient was finally kept under
tho influence of chloroform for eight hours,
after which the effects of the poison were no
longer visible. One grain of strychnine is
usually sufficient to induce death.
Arrival of Fench Political Exiles.
Nine French men, said to have been banish- !
ed to Cayenne for offences of purely a politi
cal character, managed to make their escape
from that colony on a raft reaching Demerara
after a perilous voyage of five days. There
they were taken on bonrd the American bark
Amazon, and brought to Baltimore. Friday
last, and from Baltimore they found their way ■
to their friends iu New York. Tho adventures
and hardships of these unfortunatos while
making their escapo, were of the most trying
description.
Wa regret to state that Mr. John Murphy,
one of our Custom House Officers, died at the
residence of his family, in this city, about 1
o’clock yesterday morning, from injuries
received by accidentally falling into the
hold of tv vessel in our harbor, while in the
performance of his official duties, a few days
since. He was au estimable citizen, and his
deportment through life endeared him to a
large circle of friends, who sympathize with
his afflicted family in their sore bereavement.

Oil from Coal.
A company of gentlemen from Marysville,
Ky., are erecting a factory ou the Canncloonl
farm of Col. A. Stockton, in Fayette county,
Virginia, to produce oil from coal. Recent
experiments show that one ton of Cannel Coal
will produce 40 gallons of oil at the cost of 10
cts. per gal Lon. Besides the oil, the coal yields
a valuable wax, from which Candles are made.
Goinglthe Whole Hog.
A man named John Andrews, of Petersburg,
says the Democrat, made a wager of twenty
five cents that he would eat two pounds of beef
steak, half a shoat, and one pound of tallow
candles. He “worried” the whole down and
“wet it with two quarts of ale.” The bystand
ers paid the expenses.

A Droll Account.
The Turkish papers are dabbling in Ameri
can politics. Listen to one of them, as fol
lows, nu the Kansas question :
“In the northern part of America there is a
province called Kansas, which, having a very
warm climate, iss inhabitants are much given
to agriculture. They have, therefore, import
ed a large number of slaves from Africa, and
employ them on their lands. The people who
live to north of this province regard slavery
as inconsistent with humanity, and having so
apprised the inhabitants of Kansas, urged them
to desist from this improper practice. Having
repeutedly done this, and not having been lis
tened to the two parties assembled, and after
ascertaining the number of each, deputed rep
resentatives to the seat of the seat of American
Government, called AVashington, to have the
matter tried. Now, as there has been for
sometime past a great coolness between the
members of the Council of Nobles and that of
the people in America, they could not fall
upon any agreement on the subject of the peo
ple's quarrel in Kansas. The difficulty increas
ing daily in strength, it was foreseen that
trouble would arise out of It. The enmity ex
isting between the two councils resulted in
each endeavoring to prevont the labors of tho
other, and consequently nothing was done by
either. Moreover, as the army of the Ameri
can Republic is wholly disorganized, and cou
sists only of Bashi-Bazonk soldiers, the Coun
cil of the people desired to have them proper
ly trained and placed under some kind of or
der with regular rations and pay assigned
them. The chief of the republic likewise was
in favor of this arrangement, but the Council
of the Nobles continued to oppose that of the
people, and a great quarrel rose between them
on the subject. This state of things, there
fore, being productive of the ruin of the foun
dations of the republic, and the destruction of
its government, the chief of it decided upon
settling this affair of the army in some man
ner or other, and for this purpose last August,
called up both the Councils and gave them
two weeks in which to come to the settlement
of their differences. Now it happens that by
tho very singular form of rules adopted by
said republic, if the People’s Council do not
also consent to it, the Council of the Nobles,
cannot take one akteha out of the treasury;
and as the former would not consent to give
him any money for their support, the has had
to dismiss all the soldiers and sell the vessels
of war to other governments. Os a truth, it
is clearly seen that this discord between the
two Councils will very soon cause the ruin of
that republic, and proves the value of the
peace and happiness which we all enjoy under
the benevolent protection of the shadow of our
blessed Sultan.”
The Satilla Mass Meeting.
We are indebted to a friend, who came pas
senger on the General Clinch, last night, for
the Brunswick Herald, extra, giving an ac
count of the railroad meeting at Satilla, on the
26th ult. We have only room for a synopsis
of the proceedings of the meeting, which is
said to have been a large one, aud composed
of stockholders in the Brunswick & Florida
Railroad, and citizens of Glynn, Camden,
Charlton, Wayne, Ware, Lowndes, Berrien,
Appling and Clinch counties.
Stephen Clay King was chosen President,
aud Edmund Atkinson and seven others Vice
Presidents.
A committee was appointed, who reported a
number of resolutions, to the following effect:
They recommend the 15. & F. company to re
fuse a junction with, or surrender of their char
tered privileges to the Main Trunk Company,
unless the effect of such relinquishment or
junction would probably be the advancement
of the growth of the city of Brunswick, and
the development of that part of the State sought
to he benefitted by the B. & F. charter. An
other condition is, that the initial point, or
point of junction, he located east of the great
Satilla River. Third, that the Main Trunk be
built from said point east of the Satilla, west
ward on the line of the R. & F. Railroad—and
that the Brunswick Company should not relin
quish their chartered rights to any of their
branches. Should these conditions not be
complied with, the meeting resolve “we will
present our claims to the Legislature for aid
to tho Brunswick & Florida Railroad.”
The meeting was addressed by the President,
Judge Cochran, Col. A. It. Wright and Col.
Jewett. We will publish tho resolutions en
tire to-morrow, aud, though the meeting can
not be regarded as speaking by authority for
the Brunswick Company, shall accompany
them with such comments as we may consider
appropriate and proper.— Bar. Rep.
The Passion Flower—ln Class 15th, Order
sth.
This wild flower is well known by us till as
the May Pop. I hope the following interpre
tation of this justly celebrated and much ad
mired flower will not be found uninteresting
to your readers, especially to the devotees of
flowers. (The passions of our Savior’s death
and the resurrection are most solemnly pre
sented to us by every part of this flower.)
The leaves resemble the spear that pierced our
Savior’s side—tho tendrils, tho cords that
bound his hands, or the whips that scourged
him—the ten petals, the ten Apostles—J mitts
having betrayed and Peter deserted—the pil
lar iu the centre, the cross or tree—the stain
,ina, the hammer—the stylo, the nails—the in
ner cirolue arouud the centre pillar the crown
of thorns—the radiance, the glory—tho white
in the flower, the emblem of purity : and the
blue, the type of heaven. On one species—
passiflora abuta—even drops of blood are seen
upon the cross. This flower continues three
days open, aud then disappears—thus deno- ,
ting the resurrection of the Savior.
Homicide.
We learn that on the night of tho 10th No
vember, near Mount Youalt, Ga., a difficulty
occurred between John Black and Wiley Nix,
in which the latter received a mortal stab and
died in a few minutes. Black has since fled.

GENERAL ITEMS.
The Newport News says that the Sheriffs
throughout the State of Rhode Island have
adopted a uniform style of dress for Court
and State occasions. Among other features
of it is the State coat-of-arms worn upon the
buttons.
The number of persons killed during the
late earthquake at Candiaon the 12th October
last, was 1,270 —that is 1,400 Turks and 570
Christians. The loss of property is estimated
at 250,000,000 piastres.
The Cincinnati Enquirer states that there
is now at that plaee ah amount of manufac
tures, tho value of which is moderately esti
mated at $3,000,000, waiting to be shipped as
soon as a sufficient rise in the Ohio river shall
take place.
A petition has been presented to the Legis
lature of Florida, to incorporate a company
for the purpose of laying a submarine tele
graph from the Cape of Florida via Key West
to the Islaud of Cuba, and thus bringing Ha
vana iu connection with the great telegraph
world.
There was an artless manner of announcing
marriages in “the olden time” which is quite
refreshing to revert to occasionally. Witness
the following from the Williamsburg Gazette
of 1776: “On Sunday evening last, Mr. Bev
erly Dixon to Miss Polly Saunders, a very
agreeable young lady.”
A wag residing in Boston, who had been for
many years a patient of Dr. Inches, of that
place, was at length advised to consult Dr.
Physic, of Philadelphia. After remaining a
short time under the care of tho latter, he re
turned home, greatly improved in health; and
being asked which of the two methods of
treatment he preferred, replied that he “would
rather live by Physic than die by Inches.”
Smith, the “celebrated razor strop man,”
has again taken to the street in New York, and
his sonorous voice again minggles with the va
ried city cries. It is said that this energetic
vender of “strops,”after having made a snug
little fortune in his business, was induced to
make an investment, by which ho lost his all
and more too. But having “more of the same
sort left,” by which he made his money, ho
starts anew in good voice and strong hope.
We received by the St. Louis papers that
Miss Eliza Logan is performing with great
success at the People’s Theatre in that city.
She appeared at Venetia, in Mr. Levee’s pop
ular play of tho Italian Bride, on the 19th
instant.
The citizens of Atlanta having authorized
their Mayor and Council to subscribe SIOO,OOO
to the Georgia Air-Line Railroad, the Intelli
gencer assures the friends of the road that the
subscription will be made as soon as an ordi
nance and other suitable arrangements are
perfected.
The Growth of St. Paul.
The city of St. Paul, the capital of Minnesota,
which claims an existence of but seven years,
seems to be advancing in population and
wealth at a rate scarcely equalled in the West,
except by Chicago. In 1849 it contained but
500 inhabitants, and two years since 4,500 ;
now its population is estimated at 12,000.
Capital, during the last two years, has found
its way there from Eastern States, which has
been invested in lands near the city, and in
the erection of warehouses, stores and sub
stantial dwelling houses, for all of which there
is a good demand. The Minnesota Pioneer,
in speaking of the growth of St. Paul and the
increase of, population in the Territory, says
that “emigration has been steady and increas
ing the whole season,” and that “ the people
are now beginning seriously to entertain the
idea of applying for admission into the Union
as a State, its population numbering, it is
thought, nearly 200,000 souls.”
A New Iron Steamship-of-War.
Anew iron steamship-of-war is now in course
of construction at Boston for the Viceroy of
Egypt. She will be 210 feet long, 37 feet wide,
and 21 feet deep, and is expected to be ready
for launching in December. She will be ship
rigged, and is intended to be used as a yatebt
by the Viceroy, who had her built in the United
States upon the presumption that he could
obtain a better model for speed than could be
produced in either England or France.
Boat Building in Louisville, Ky.
During six months there have been con
structed at Louisville, Ky., seventeen boats,
which cost $444,000, aud during the previous
six months nineteen boats at a cost of $557,
090.
Total boats for the year 36.
Total cost $1,021,000
The total number of boats inspected within
the last year was sixty-five, with an aggregate
tonnage of 24,861 tons.
A Living Skeleton.
We bad the opportunity, this week, of visit
ing “General Wade Hampton,” the living skel
eton. He is a colore 1 man, about 40 years of
age, weighing 45 pounds, and was born in Co
lumbia county, Georgia. He is, in truth, one
of the greatest freaks of nature that lias ever
come within our observation. The General
seems to be in elegant spirits. He was exhi
bited at the Crystal Palace in New York, and
says that “the learned profession made much
fuss over him.” —Montgomery Journal.
ITazle Eyed Girls.
Major Noah said that “a hazle eye inspires
at first a platonic sentiment, which gradually
but surely expands into love as securely found
ed ns the rock of Gibraltar.” A woman with a
bazle eyo never elopse from her husband, never
chats a scandal, never sacrifices her husband's
comfort to her own, never finds fault, never
talks too much or too little, always is an en
tertaining, intellectual, agreeable and lovely
creature.
A Good Old Age.
We publish in another column a notice of the
death of a veteran soldier of the Devolution,
Mr. Joseph Calhoun, at the advanced ago of
one hundred years and ten months. Tt will be
seen that he fought in several of the most im
portant battles of the war of Independence at
Camden, Guilford Court House and Yorktown.
Mr. Calhoun died at his residence in Dooly
county, Ga. By nativity he was a North Car
olina.
High Sales.
On Monday last, at Warrenton, Ya., many
negroes were sold at public auction, and
brought extremely high prices. A boy about
18 years of age sold for $1,245, und another
boy, not over ten, for 799. A little negro girl
also sold for upwards of S6OO. At a recent
sale of the estate of Zeph Turner, deceased,
of Rappahannock county, eight negro slaves,
ranging from the age of twelve to thirty-seven
years, averaged the sum of sl,lll 50.
A New Free State.
A census just concluded, shows the popula
tion of the territory of Minnessota to be 17,-
000. nearly sufficient to entitle her to two Re
presentatives. She will, no doubt, shortly he
applying for admission as a State.
