COLUMBUS: Friday Morning, l)c. 3, 1856. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. The following gentlemen have been added by the Mayor to the list of delegates to repre sent this ity in the Southern Commercial Con vention at Savannah : Hines Holt, Esq., Wm. Dougherty, Ksq. .las. Johnson, Ksq., Geo. 11. Shorter, Dr. Thos. Dawson, Hon. S. A. Wales, Jas. Hamilton, Ksq., Joseph 11. Hill, Hugh M. King, Ksq. . - We call attention to the advertisements of Messrs. Shepherd &i Moss, oil'ering Bacon, Corn and Flour for sale on consignment. Also to that of Lewis Frederick, who has opened a Eith and Oyster market, near the Steamboat banding. The South Carolina did not leave yesterday evening as appointed. She will positively leave this morning at 11 o’clock. Superior Court. The cuso of Wood, from Troup county, ap prehended in this city last December on the charge of au attempt to trade a spurious note on Edward C. Powers, deceased, was tried yes terday and a conviction obtuiued. Ho has been sentenced to two years in the Peniteutia vy. The Jury on the case of Terry, have not yet rendered their verdict. - The Rumor about Gen. Cass. The correspondent of the Journal of Com merce, in a letter from Washington on the 20th ult., says the rumor of yesterday, that General Cass had been offered auil had accepted the State Department, is not to be credited. The General may have been consulted by Mr. Bu chanan, but if he had been ottered ajeabinet ap pointment, he would not liuvo disclosed it. lie is too prudent and too old a politician to em barrass his friend by such an exposure. The rumor has made no impression here. President’s Message. Tbe failure of the Charleston mail to come through yesterday, deprived ns of an opportu nity of laying this document before the readers of the Sun this morning. We copy in another column, from tiie Savannah papers, a tele graphic synopsis of its contents. Look out for I lie entire document to-morrow. Another Good Dividend, The Marine Bank, it will be seen from the notice of tho Cashier, says the Savannah Re publican, has followed the suit of its city co tumporarieH, and declared a dividend at the rate of twelve per centum per annum. Such exhibits from the old banks, in connection with the fact that seteral new institutions have re cently gone into operation, with large capital, and are doing a successful business, afford a most flattering evidence of tho progressive prosperity and commercial importance of Sa vannah. Such results are highly honorable to us as a business community, and may be con templated with a true satisfaction by every citizen. Official Vote of Michigan. Tho following is the official vote of Michigan at the late Presidential election: Fremont, 71,162; Buchanan, 52,139; Fillmore, 1,501 ; Smith, 150. Sale Day in Savannah. A goodly number of sales, says the Repub lican, took place at the Court House in Savan nah on Tuesday, the most important of which are as follows: The Iractof laud, known as Mulberry’ Grove, situated on Savannah River, 200 acres of which are rice, and tho remainder high land, sold for $14,000. Half lot, No. 2, with improvements, situat ed on Broughton street, east of the Marshall House, brought $2,800. Lot No. —, with improvements, in Zubly st., brought $7,150. Lot, with improvements, in William street, brought $4,925. Tract of land, situated in Kllinghamco., sold for $5,025. Five shares of stock in the Central Railroad and Banking Company sold, without dividend, for $lO6 per share. Several negroes also, were sold, and brought ruling prices, which just at this time are deci dedly in favor of sellers. Electoral College of Alabama. The Electors of President and Vice Presi dent mot on Wednesday at the Capitol, and cast their votes for James Buchanan, of Penn sylvania, for President, and John C. Brecken ridge, of Kentucky, for Vico President es tho United States. The next thing in order be ing the election of a Messenger to carry tho vote on to Washington, Mr. Benjamin C. Yan cey, son of the lion. Wm. L. Yancey, Elector for the State at Large, was chosen.—Mont <fomen/ Advertiser. Affray. On Friday afternoon a dispute arose be tween J. If. Sikes and Samuel Harris, both of this county. Sikes’ noso ran against Harris’ list—Mr. Sikes, not relishing the “jonk,” in dicted a severe, though not daugerous wound upon Harris!, —tho knife entering the left side, near the shoulder. The parties then separa ted, not, howover, until Harris took a shot at Bikes, with a pistol, without effect. —Lumpkin I'luindealer. Convict at Largo. Albei t Stuart, couvieted at the present term of the Circuit Court, in Crittenden county, Ark., of stealing slaves from Jucob Harold, was brought to this city yesterday for the pur pose of taking a boat for Little Rock. While the officers in charge were examining some clothing on Front Bow, the prisoner broke loose from the person who held him and made his escapo. There was a large crowd nearby, through which he disappeared, and although instant pursuit was made he was not overtaken or again observed. The sheriff of Crittenden county offers SIOO reward for his apprehen sion. Ho had been sentenced to the peniten tiary for five years. Stuart is described as about five feet six inches in height, spare made, dark complexion, long black hair, had on when he made his escape a black pair of (.ants, black cloth frock coat, o vest, button holes of his shirt bosom torn, no cravat and no shoes.— Memphis Enquirer. Andrew J. Donelson is tho only one of all the six candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency who carried his own county. The Wheelbarrow Business. Under this head the Philadelphia Bulletin of Friday gives a most amusing account of a theatrical feat, ala Ben Per ley Poore, that came elfin that city the night previous. The following extracts will give some idea of the , sport: Managers of places of amusement are apt at inventing plans to draw crowds and to keep people talking about their “concerns,” and the latest and most amusing feat of the kind came off in Philadelphia last evening. It was bas ed on the hint given by tho popularity of Maj. Bcu I’erlcy Poore’s wheelbarrow bet, and John Brougham’s feat of performing in New York and Philadelphia on the same night. “The Plan. —The idea was originated by Mr. S7 Sanford, the manager of the opera troupe, and it was nothing loss than to perform in Odd Fellow's Hall, West Philadelphia, early in the evening, have the troupconvcyed to the Opera House, in Eleventh street, above Ches nut, in wheelbarrows, and perform there also, tho distance between the two points being say two miles and a half, and time between the performances to be as short as possible. Tho mode of conveyance was grotesque and mirth provoking: both from the peculiarity of the vehicle and the associations therewith con nected. The motive power was hone and sin ew—“elbow grease” to be applied at the shafts, by swart Ethiopians, stout and strong, two sets of whom were provided for each vehicle. After the amusing details of the triumphant wheelbarrow tramp, the following account is given of the arrival, the reception and the se cond performance : Tho first wheelbarrow pitched around the cornor of Eleventh and Market in just seven teen minutes from the time of leaving Odd Fellow’s Hall, viz: at 22 minutes of 9 o’clock. It was received into the bosom of an immensu crowd, who set up tho cry “hero they come!” for the one hundredth time that evening. Sanford “disembarked” and was fairly carried into the stage entrance. Then began the rash toward the ticket-office, and coat buttons, corns and ribs suffered. The house had been tolerably filled before, and in a short time as many new comers ns could get places were “in.” Shouts of “hyst tho rag,” “order,” &c., kept the audience amused until the cur tain rose on Pocahontas.” Applause greeted the performers, and when Sanford came in as the Captain without a name, three hearty cheers greeted him, and the burlesque proceed ed. The performance was excellent, the hits told, and the whole went off with eclat. Great Improvement in Telegraphing. Avery curious apparatus called “Hughes’ Printing Telegraph Instrument,” for which patents were taken out within the past year, has at length been completed, and was exhib ited yesterday, at the rooms of the American Telegraph Company in Wall street. The event lias been anticipated with much interest; and the instrument, as now improved, is found to realize the highest expectation. It is very simple and effective—prints neatly and rapid ly,—will soml and receive despatches at the same time over one wire—and performs feats which indicate a progress of tho greatest im portance in the telegraphic art. The principal parts of the instrument com prise a series of four clock wheels, with one weight, governed in their revolutions by the vibration at a spring. The governing princi ple here recognized is a well known law in acoustics, that a certain number of vibrations produce a certain musical tone. As applied in this instance, each vibration releases a tooth of the type-wheel: and two or more machines, having the same tone-spring, must necessarily rovolve in unison. Therefore the letters on the type-wheel are always opposite the press at a certain moment. As these vibrations arc exceedingly rapid, the type-wheel revolves very swiftly—the press printing while revolving.— In tbe House machine, Ihe type-wheel is gov erned in its revolutions by twenty-eight break ings and closings of electricity, and if one wave of electric current is not felt at the receiving offices, tho instrument is inevitably thrown out of adjustment. In the improved machine, the electricity has no connection with tho type wheel. It is therefore impossible for the in strument to get out of adjustment from this cause ; and for the same reason the type-wheels are not affected by any electrical change of the atmosphere. The electricity through the “holding” pow er of electro-magnetisui, which is much more sensitive than the attractive power—according to theory, one hundred times more so. Im mediately after the armature is released by the breaking of the circuit, a lever connected with the press-work restores it to its original posi tion. Another striking peculiarity arises from the fact that it is not necessary for an operator to be constantly in attendance, as the instrument can be started by an operator at another sta tion, and print with perfect accuracy without superintendence. It is also noticeable, that a despatch can bo sent secretly to any distance, passing through many offices, and yet cut off all, except those to which it is directed. The instrument is much less complicated than other printing machines, costing $75 or SIOO, whereas, those now in use cost about SSOO. Tho wheels are the same in number as in the Morse instrument, and of about the same size. The new machine is to be introduced on all the lines of the American Telegraph Company, as fast as they can be constructed. This Company has now uuder its control between 2,500 and 3,000 miles of wire. High Price for Negroes. At an administrator’s sale in this vicinity, a few days since, of the estate of John L. Boyd, deceased, a lot of over 60 negroes were sold at an average of about S7OO each. Field hands brought from SI,OOO to $1,300. Terms, a credit of 12 months, without interest. Corn sold at from 80 to 90 cents cents per bushel.— Abbeville (S. C.) Press. The Grape Culture. An Ohio vine grower writes to the Journal of Commerce that there are now devoted to vineyard culture over 4,000 acres in the Ohio valley, about half of which quantity is in the viciuity of Cincinnati. In the Missouri valley there are about 700 to 800 acres, and in the Upper Mississippi valley 500 to 600 acres. In Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina and Geor gia, several vineyards of the Catawba grape have lately been planted with flattering pros pects, thus far, of producing far better crops than those of the Ohio valley. ♦ Mr. A. A. Thompson was on Monday last held to bail in tho sum of $5,000 to answer at the next Superior Court the charge of killing Mr. J. Sessions. We know nothing of the circumstances, as we did not attend the pre liminary examination. The affair took place a few weeks ago. —Lumpkin Pluindealrr. ♦’ Miss Catherine Hayes, tho vocalist, has re turned to London after some years absence, somewhat older, somewhat browner, but as sweet a singer as ever.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. Washington, Dec. 2.—The Annual Message of President Pierce was delivered to Congress to-day. The following is a synopsis of its contents: The President claims that the result of the late election is a condemnation of the sectional policy sought to lie introduced into the gov ernment, and a vindication of the equality of of the States. lie condemns, generally, the agitation of the slavery question, and gives a history of its progress. lie defends the Kan sas-Ncbraska Act and the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise, which latter, he maintains, was no breach of faith on the part of the re pealers. lie reviews the recent events in Kansas, and says the disorders in that Territo ry have been generally exaggerated, for party effect. The real trouble was, Kansas was made the battle-field of the late Presidential election. All civil war there, ho says, is now ended. The greater portion of the Message is devoted to this subject. The reference to foreign affairs is brief and unimportant. During the past fiscal year, the receipts from customs have been over $64,000,000, and the receipts from all sources amount to $78,018- 000 ; which, with the balance on hand in July 1855, make a total of present resources $98,- 850,000. The expenditures, including $3,000,000 for the execution of the treaty with Mexico, and excluding the sums paid on the public debt, amount to 8>60,162,000. • The public debt has been reduced to $30,- 000,000. He recommends a reduction of the revenue derived from customs to fifty millions of dol lars. Certain changes are recommended in the policy of distributing troops. He also recom mends an increase of tba naval force, arid the negotiation of the new contracts for conveying the mails via Tehuantepec and Nicaragua. A Bupplimental treaty lias been concluded with Great Britain, and the Central American controversy, arising out of the construction of the Clayton-Buhver treaty, finally adjusted. The Bound Dues question, with Denmark, is still unsettled, but in a fair way for adjust ment. With Spain no new difficulties have arisen, though but little progress has been made in the settlement of those that are pending. The ne gotiations for relieving our commerce with Cuba from some of its burthens, and provid ing for a more speedy settlement of our local disputes, have not yet been attended with any satisfactory results. Tho President assents to the abolition of privateering, as proposed by the seven Powers at the late Paris Conference, provided it he so amended as to exempt the private property of belligerents from seizure, except such as shall be of a contraband character. He hopes this amendment will be accepted. lie has refused to receive either of the .Min isters accredited to this Government from the Republic of Nicaragua, on the ground tiiat it is impossible to determine, at the preset, which of the contending parties is the Government de facto. Tho Message declares that the President will resist the attempt of New Granada to ex ecute her tonage, or mail taxes, upon the Uni ted States, and charges that the Government of that country is responsible for the Panama riots. lie lias demanded full indemnity for the outrage, and provision for the families of those of our citizens who were killed. A spe cial Commissioner has been appointed and sent out to negotiate indemnity for tbe past and se curity for the future. Report of the Secretary of the Navy. The following is a synopsis of the Naval Report, accompanying the .Message. The Secretary rccemuiends that two squad rons be kept in service on the Pacific, in the future, and that the gunnery practice system be established in the Navy. The new frigates, he says, have realized the most sanguine exl peetations, and recommends that additiona sloops of war be constructed, of light draught, to enter the Southern ports. Urges a steady augmentation of the naval forces; recommends shorter cruises, to be limited in duration to two years; the promotion of ten Apprentices, annually, to the grade of Midshipmen : a small corps of Assistance Pursers ; the croation of the office of Judge Advocate, and the increase of the pay of tho same grades of officers. Report of the Secretary of Wav. The Secretary oi War renews his recom mendations of the last year, not heretofore acted on by Congress, especially for a retired list, and an increase of the pay of officers. He proposes an abandonment of the present system of small frontier posts, and the substi tution of large garrisons, at convenient points, from which summary marches mny.be made in to the Indian country, to chastise depredating tribes and protect emigrant trains. Postmaster General’s Report. The Postmaster General's Report shows that the efficiency in the receipts of the Department for the present year, will amount to upwards of $2,756,006. lie recommends the abolition of the franking privilege, and making free mat ter pay half rates. He also recommends a reduction of compensation to the Panama Rail road to not exceeding $50,000 per annum. Also the establishment of a weekly mail route to Ban Francisco by the Nicaragua or Tehuan tepec route, alternating with the Panama route—tho new service not to exceed $300,000 per annum. - -♦ - “Well, Cuffee,” said a minister to his color ed servant, “what were you doing in meeting this afternoon 1 ” “Doing, massa?” “Taking notes,” was his reply. “ You taking notes? ” exclaimed the master. “Sartin, massa, all the gentlemen take notes.” “Well, let me see them,” said he. Cuffee thereupon produced his sheet of pa per, and his master found it scrawled all over with all sorts of marks and lines, as though a dozen spiders dipped in ink had marched over it. “Why, this is all nonsense,” said the minis ter, as he looked at the notes. “Well, massa,’ replied Cuffee, “I thought so nil the time you were preaching! ” Tim ia lies of .Jackson, Mi-s., are getting up sl2 i t to pay for a portrait of Millard Fill- Btor. , to be presented to the city of Baltimore.

I propose to soli a half interest in the SUN newspaper, consisting of tho typo 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, &t\ For this I ask $2,00U cash, a gentleman of quali fication and experience as an editor, would he preferred. The paper has a good subscription and a growing adver tising patronage, both of which can be largely increased ity a little exertion. i also propose to lease, to good practical printers, tiro job department of my establishment. It is well pro vided with every variety of modern styles of type and fixtures for facilitating work, and a llou medium Cylin der Press and a Hoc Card Printing Machine. The Job Department will give employment to two good printers at remunerating prices. If I sell llie 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 be sold. My object in doing cither, is to relieve myself of a portion of the lulmrs of the es tablishment. ‘ THOMAS DeWOLF. An Article for our Lady Readers. We find tliefollowing in theLafourche (La.) Union—but can’t tell whether it is original there, or not. No matter —it is a capital ar ticle, and should be read by every lady in the land: HOW TO PRESERVE WOMEN. There is nothing in the world that we think so much of as we do women. Our mother is a woman—wife, sisters, pretty eousins, are wo men ; and tho daughters will be if (Heaven spare them!) they live long enough. And then there is a love of women in general which we do not deny. A fine, magnificent specimen of the sex, full of life and health, l ipo red cheek, and flashing eye, is something that does one good to look at as she illuminates the humdrum sidewalks and every day streets. A North River steamer under full headway, with colors Hying is rather a pretty sight—rather stirring and inspiring ; and we pull up our tired nag to see her pass and admire the swell she cuts. Comparatively, however, the steamer sinks into insignificance, or some other very deep water, by the side of a well kept, well dressed woman. There is no rubbing it out; women are tho ornament, charm, blessing, beauty and bliss of life—(men’s life, we mean, of course.) Any means that can be devised for preserving them should be publicly made known. They are different from any other kind of fruit.— You cannot pick them. You cannot do them up in sugar and set them in a cold room, with a paper soaked in brandy over their mouths. You cannot put them up in cans and seal them up air tight, without injuring their form and flavor. Now, as men are so dependent upon women for life’s choicest blessings, a proper mode of preserving them becomes of great mo ment, and wc are sure that the public will thank us for au unfailable receipt, Have the feet well protected, then pay the next attention to the chest. The chest is the repository of the vital organs. There abide the heart and lungs. It is from the impres sions made upon these organs through the skin, that the shiver comes. It is nature’s quake— the alarm bell —at the onset of danger. A woman never shivers from the effect of cold upon her limbs, or hands, or head ; but let the cold strike through her clothing on her chest, and off go her teeth into a chatter, and the whole organism is in a commotion. One sud den and severe impression of cold upon the chest has slain its tens of thousands. There fore, while the feet are well looked after, nev er forget the chest-. These points attended to, the natural connections of the dress will sup ply the rest, and the woman is ready for the air. Now let her visit her neighbors, go shop ping, call upon the poor, and walkforthe good of it, for the fun of it. Keep away from tho stove or register. Air that is dry or burnt, more or less charged with gasses evolved by the fuel, is poison. Go up stairs and make the beds with mittens on. Fly around the house like mad, and ventilate the rooms. Don't sit up in a single room with double windows. Fruit will not retain its full form and flavor in air tight cans ; neither will women. They need air. If the shiver comes on during these operations, go directly and put on something more about the chest. Again, do not live in dark rooms. Light fades ihe carpet but it feeds the flower. No living animal or vegetable can enjoy health in darkness. Light is almost as necessary as air, and a brown tan is far preferable, even as a matter of beauty, to a sickly paleness of com plexion. Thus much in regard to the physical means for preservation. There are moral means no less important. Every woman should be mar ried to an excellent man. Marriage, it is true brings care and wear, but it is the ring that is worn that keeps bright, and the watch that lies still and unwound that gets out of order. —The sweet sympathies evolved in the re lations of tho family, the new energies de veloped by new responsibilities, the new com pensation for all outlays of strength, brings about a delightful play of the heart and intel lect which, in their reaction upon the body, produces an effect that is nothing less than preservation. Then, there is a higher moral power than this—ono which we speak of sober ly and honestly. No one is completely armed against the encroaching ills of life, who has in heart no place for religion. The calmness, the patience, and the joy and hope that are in pos session of that woman whose heart is right in its highest relation, can never fail to preserve and heighten every personal power and charm that she possesses. There! you have the receipt. Some of it is in sportive form, but it is not the less sober truth. It has within it the cure for many a disease—the preventive for more. It might be made longer; but when wo see its prescrip tions universally adopted, it will be time to bring forward the remainder. The Oil Market, The New Bedford Standard of November 19, says: During the past |.‘! |or| 1 months the price of sperm oil has been gradually falling, until now it comm.aids somewhat less than SI.oO per gallon. The decline was slow, the price fulling from SI.SO or thereabouts, down to its present market value. The causes of the decline nro owing to the quantities on hand and the fact that the holders of small lots are crowding them into the market. According to present indications, there will be a still fur ther decline before the movement is upward.
