C O LUM B US: 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, Hon. Jas. Abercrombie, F. Nesbit, Col. S. Benton, Hon. (). 15. Wallon, Col. M. Davis, John M. C. lteed, Cos!. W. Lowther, Samuel 1). Lary, 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. —Savauitah Republican, ‘loth. 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. TEI^EG-RAPHIC. Telpgrapbed to the Daily bun. Further from California. New York, Nov. 29—The steamship lIIL nois has arrived with California dates to the sth inst. The State has probably gone for Buchanan by a plurality of 8,000. A revolution had brokeu out in Sonora, and Governor Cardara was routed by the re bels. Fifty of his men were killed and two hundred wounded. There had been no rain since the departure of the last steamer. The Illinois brings nearly two millions in specie. ———♦ 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. —Dahlonega Signal. Homicide in Wetumpka. Wc learn that on Monday night a servant belonging to Mr. George McWhorter, was shot dead at Coosa Hall, by a young man named James Johnson. The cause was some slight iinpiftitcnce ou the part of the negro. John son, w • learn had not becu arrested at the time mtr informant left Wetumpka.— Montgom- , irual. 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.
