LARGEST CITV CIRCULATION.
Printer Wanted.
An experienced printer in tho Job Depart
ment, is wanted at this office. His habits of
sobriety must be above suspicion.
l'rof. Law, of Savannah, as will be seen by
a card in our advertising columns, will deliver
a lecture this evening ut Temperance Hall, on
the Art of Oratory, Its Dignity and Uses.
The lectures of this gentleman, in Savannah
and elsewhere, are spoken of in tho highest
terras by the Press.

Tho completion of the Memphis & Charles
ton Railroad to Corinth was celebrated on the
26th ult. in grand style. There was an excur
sion from Memphis, a dinner, speeches, &e.
Corinth is 95 miles from Memphis, at tho
junction of tho Mobile and Ohio, and the Mem
phis & Charleston Roads. It is only nine
months old, has 1,000 inhabitants, printing
office, &c., and is rapidly improving.
The National Era, the great abolition organ,
in its address to the lilack Republicans, thus
characterizes the Democratic party and tho
policy of the incoming Administration.
We huvo just come out of a formidable strug
gle, but the battle is not yet won. The strug
gle must be renewed. There is no indication
that the Party has abandoned its scheme of
universal empire—no reason to anticipate that
the new Administration will prove false to the
Prp-Slavery pledges of the Cincinnati {Plat
form—hut there is every reason to believe that
the Slave Interest, during the next four years,
will busily use Federal patronage and influ
ence to extend and strengthen its Despotism.
Central Railroad and Banking Company.
Tho Georgian and Journal contains a semi
official statement of the present condition of
tho Central Railroad Company, from which
we take the following ;
The cash receipts for the year ending Nov.
“0, wore
From Road,., 1,329,558.49
From Rank 64,184.23-$1,393,712.72
Paid for Road expenses, Rank
expenses, and interest, 677,884.57
Net income $715,858.15
Two dividends of 5 per cent,
each declared lor the year, 388,709.00
Surplus... $327,159.15
Carried to credit of
Road 77.G94.il
Carried to reserve
fund..., 249,454.04- $327,149.15
The capital of the Compauy
paid >n i $3,931,700.00
Stock remaining to bo sold 68,300.00
Total allowed by Charter $4,000,000.00
As soon as the capital is made full, tho Road
of the Company will stand, permanently, at
$3,750,000, and the Rank capital at $250,000.
Thus the Central Railroad, one hundred and
niuety-two miles long, (with all its deports,
shops, machinery of all kinds—fifty-six loco-
engines and upwards of 600 cars in
cluded) stands at less than $20,000 per mile.
The Company has no floating debt. Tho bond
debt amounts to only $251,767, whilst, ns a
single item of its investments, it holds $318,-
300 of South-wostern Railroad stock, which
has always paid 8 per cent, dividend.
The reserve fund of tho Central Company is
now $413,583.67-100. This fund is subject,
ou tlie first day of April next, to tho payment
ot $28,000 rent of lino from Gordon to Ea
tonton; and also to such depreciation as may
exist in tho stock and bond assets of tho Com
puny. It is kept at a considerable Yigure to
cover any such depreciation. All the stocks
and bonds pay interest, except tho stock of the
Montgomery Road, of the Eatontou Road, and
ot the Augusta & Waynesboro’ Road—and
these are expected to pay hereafter an aver
age of five per cent.
The foregoing statement—the exact accura
cy ot which may bo implicitly relied upon—
carries with it its own comment.
The operations and general management of
this Railroad are not only satisfactory to the
Stockholders, but will compare favorably with
those of any Railroad in tho country. The stock
td this Road, without the dividend, was sold
at $lO5 per share, last sale day. We doubt
whether any could be bought now even at this
price.
Organization of tho Main Trunk Railroad.
The stockholders of this Railroad assembled
at Milledgeville on Thursday to elect nine Di
rectors, as required by law. The following
commissioners were present: Messrs. Charles
Spalding, J. I*. Screven, Win. R. llodgson, E.
R. \ouug, W. P. l’ouder and C. J.Munnerlyn.
The amount of stock represented was upwards
ol eleven hundred thousand dollars, of which
live hundred thousand was subscribed by the
11 overnor on bohalf of the State. The stock of
the Btate was represented by Col. Lawson, of
Rurko and Col. Irwin, of Wilkes; Judge Hill
not arriving until after tho vote had been tak
en.
Tho following gontlemen were unanimously
elected Directors:
Dr. J. P. Screven, of Chatham j
John Stoddard, of Chatham;
C. J Munnorlyn, of Decatur ;
Hiram Roberts, of Chntham ;
A. T. Mclntyre, of Thomas ;
E. R. Young, of Thomns ;
Win. R. llodgson, of Chatham ;
J. R. Stapler, of Lowndes ;
Win. 11. Long, of Chatham.
At a meeting of tho Hoard of Directors, Dr.
James p. Screven was unanimously elected
President.
We are gratified ut being able to announce
•he organization of this important company,
and that the choice of the stockholders were
unanimous in selecting such an excellent Hoard
us Directors. It is also a matter of congrntu
lation that a majority of the Hoard of Directors
are residents of this county, ns this will ena
ble the President to obtain a quorum at short
notice iu case of emorgeuoy.
The organization of the company having
thus been consummated, it only remains for
the Savannah, Albany and Gulf,'andthe Rruns
wick and Florida companies to unite in the
manner pointed out by the Legislature to se
izure the early commencement and coinpletiou
of this groat work, which is destined to’.develop
the resources of tho Southern sectiou of our
81 ate. — Sav. A7 ws.
Homicide in Coffee.
We learn that our former townsman, Henry
W. Laird, killed young Rlair, son of General
Flair, of Coffee, a few days ago at Geneva in
that county. Young Rlair had been clerking
for Laird, and the difficulty grew out of some
thing conuected with the employment. Laird’
is in custody, and the bail required is at a
high figure.— Mant. Mail of Saturday.
Correspondence of the X. Y. Express.
A Horrified Darkey.
ParM’ Nov. 6th —.Mr. M.,u wealthy Ameri
can gentleman, Ims lately arrived in Paris from
the United States. Ho is accompanied by his
family and several negro servants—slaves—
who now find themselves in a “land of liber
ty” (!) but do not seem so anxious to avail
themselves of the circumstances us French and
English abojitionists think they ought. They
seemed to be impressed with the stupid idea
that to be well led, clothed and cared for, to
serve a good master and carry light hearts in
their bosoms, is preferable to the enjoyment
of the empty privilege of freedom with a fair
chance of starving. It is quite certain they
arc not favorably impressed with the morality
of the French people. Mr. M.’s body servant,
when at home, officiates on the plantation as
the “spiritual adviser” of the other darkeys.
He may not be so polished an orator as (’apt.
Henry Ward Beecher, but 1 have no doubt he
is a purer an ! better muu. Sam is a very strong
Methodist, and his powers of exhortation arc
described as so wonderful that some of his fig
ures of rhetoric have been known to cause the
wool of his sablo hearers to unkiiik itself and
stand on end, like bristles in a shoe brush.
Sam thinks the French are a lost nation. If
any race es men on earth are in a fair way of
going to hell by the most direct road, Sam ex
presses his solemn conviction that the French
is that race. Their goings on since he has
been among them lie declares to be “drefful.”
What with balls, theatres, circuses, and church
es built to be shown to outsiders nnd use up
wax caudles, the Parisians arc a lost tribe of
sinners. Mr. M. has tried to persuade Ins
pious valet that the ignorance of the French
ought to be some excuse for their sins. It’s
no use, sab, says Sam, “doy can’t be ’spected
to know so much as a ’merrikin, but dey’s
wfiite, sfih—day’s white!” The colored speak
er seems to believe that being “white” they
ought to be “posted.” Last Sunday, as if to
cap tho climax, some of the amalgamation ser
vants iu the hotel where Mr. M. is stopping,
called Sam aside, and iu a spirit of politeness,
invited him to accompany them to one of the
theatres, that evening. At the very sound of
this horrible proposition the pious darkey turned
as pale as n nigger can turn—which is about
the color of varnished rosewood—and precipi
tately retreated to his master’s room, without
even vouchsafing a reply. He was in a terri
ble state of mind for some hours, and has not
yet fully recovered his equanimity. The shock
to his religious system was of so tremendous a
character that it is doubtful whether ho will
entirely recover before he finds himself once
more safe, “ way down on tic ole plantation.”
Rank of East Tennessee.
The Knoxville Register of tho 4th instant,
says tho run upon the Rank of East Tennessee
has been kept up unremittingly since the out
break of the panic, until now we regret to say,
its bills cling to the holder “closer than a
brother.” Until Saturday evening most of
our merchants continued to take tho money at
their counters, but on Monday, there seemed
to be a general letting down of “confidence,”
until, at noon, there was not a business house,
in the place, we believe, that did not reject it.
The brokers would not buy it at any price.—
On Tuesday, the Branches at Jonesboro’ and
Chattanooga were closed, and the specie re
maining in their vault3 transferred to the office
in Knoxvillo. The bills on these branches will
not be redeemed at the counter iu Knoxville,
now, though the Bank contemplates taking
up the paper due at the Branches, so soon as it
can. Whether it will ever be able to do this,
we have no means of knowing further than
tho verbal statement of tho Rank officials.
The Knoxvillo office is redeeming its issues. It
is to he regretted that tho Board of Directors,
if satisfied that the Rank is secure, did not,
immediately upon the origin of the panic,
overhaul their assets and submit an authentic
statement of the condition of the Rank to the
public. Such a procedure would have stop
ped all further distrust of the Bank’s sound
ness. Rut this has not been done, and the
consequence is, the bill-holders, ignorant of
tho Rank’s condition and fearful of a loss,
have poured iu its paper upon it, until it has
been forced to a suspension at the Branches.
We understand (and we would not say so with
out good authority) that tho circulation of the
Rank, at t he time the panic broke out, was about
$600,000, of this, bills to the amount of about
$225,000, have been taken up,—l aving over
$350,000 yet unredeemed What basis the
Rank has, upon which to meet this circulation
we do not know. We will say, however, that
the Officers of the Rank state that a sufficient,
amount of its assets will be due, within tho
time allowed by the Charter, to enable them
to meet all tho out-standing bills. Assuming
that the Rank has done a strictly legitimate
business, we sect no reason why the money
may not finally become good. Os the standing
of the Bank in Knoxville at present, we will
state that, as currency, its money is worthless.
Our merchants are “hands off” and the look
ers refuse it at any price. The highest sale
we heard of on Monday, was 75 cents, while
on Tuesday (we write Tuesday.night) it was
selling on the streets at fifty cents, and as wc
learn, no one was purchasing, except those
who had a “way” of using it to advantage.
We give tho foregoing as an impartial state
ment of the facts as they exist. Wo certainly
have no disposition to do the Rank injustice,
whilo at the same time we will give no version
in its behalf calculated to deceive our readors.
Our individual opinion, unsupported, would bo
comparative worthless, and we, therefore, give
no advice—make no predictions. If the Rank
has done only a legitimate business, its money
must eventually’ bo good : if not, we can only
trust that tho money “sharpers” rather tlmn
the people, will have to bear the burnt of the
disaster.
I*. S. Since the foregoing was putin type
we have leaoned that two of our merchants—
Jackson, and JMoses —are taking East Tennes
see money, in payment for goods.

Important from New Granada.
We learn that advices iiavs been received in
New York from well informed sources in Bo
gota, that the difficulties between theNew Gra
nadian government and Mr. Griffiths, the Brit
ish Minister, iu relation to the payment of the
Mclntosh claim, have been amicably adjusted,
and that no steps will be taken to effect a block
ade of tho ports of that republic by the British
fleet.
The whole difficulty between tho parties
arose from a difference of opinion in regard to
the proper time of payment by the Now Grana
dian government of some back dues on this
claim. The claim of Mr. Mclntosh had been
adjusted some years since, and a large portion
of it paid. It was arranged at the time of ad
justment that the balance should be paid in
bonds, which were to be received at the New
Granadian custom house iu the proportion of
IU per cent ou the accruing duties.
During the attempted revolution of Melo in
1854, the government in stress of funds was
obliged to delay the acceptance of the Mclntosh
bonds iu payment of the stipulated ten per ct.
of the duties. Their reception has since been
resumed, and it was the payment of the back
amounts that had been rejected during the rev
olutionary crisis that constituted the point in
dispute between the parties.
The arrangement of this matter restores tho
good feeling that has existed between the two
governments.
High Price of Negroes.
Tho subjoined extract from a private letter

in Oglethorpe county. These are the highest
prices we recollect to have ever heard of:
Lexington, Go., Dee. 2, 1856.
About $190,000 worth of property was sold
here to-day—laud and negroes—some of the
sales were ahead of anything wo have ever
heard. A negro girl 15 years old, sold for
SI2BO ; another girl 14 years old, sold for
$1280: another girl 14 yeaiv old, for $1305 ;
j another girl 18 years old, (in family way) for
$1500; a boy 18 years old, for $1200; a fel
| low 22 years old, for SISOO. These negroes
belonged to the estate of John Wynn, deceased,
j and were sold on a credit of 12 mouths. There
were 57 of Wynn’s negroes sold today, and
brought $44,026. Os these a great number
(more than ordinary) were women and chil
dren, and a low diseased and old, sold low. it
is also proper to state, that but few of theso
negroes were bought by the Legatees, and not
oue of those of which wo have;'mentioned spe
cific prices. They were common negroes—field
hands.
Rut the most extraordinary sales were of
three negroes, belonging to the estate of Mrs.
Mary Watson. Leah, a negro girl 16 years
old, sold for $1525; Harriet, about 20 years
old, and child iu her arms, sold for $lB40 —■
terms 12 months. These prices appear in

The Greatest Discovery of the Age.
It seldom occurs that wc notice, under any
circumstances, patent medicines, restoratives,
or any thing of the kind, for we haVe a preju
dice against most of them. But candor com
pels us to invite attention to the advertisement
of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. Wc are
too juvenile to require any thing of the kind,
but some instances of its use have come to our
knowledge which almost assure us .that it is a
sovereign remedy against the hair becoming
prematurely gray. It is not a “Hair Dye;”
but upon its application, as directed, the effect
is produced on the skin, which brings out the
original native colored hair, without stiffness,
and gives it a glossy and natural appearance.
We have seen persons who have used it, and
they are much pleased with it. Examine the
advertisement. —Missouri Republican.

CAUTION TO THE PUBISIC.

UDOLPHO WOLFE,
22 Beaver St., New York.
From tlie New l’oik Mercury.
Fraudulent Imitations of Superior Commodities,
Among ihe many dishonesties of trade which tlie mor
al sense ot the community is called upon to suppress, we
would particularly notice a most pernicious and infamous
practice adopted by unscrupulous dealers of imitatingand
counterfeiting the exterior appearance and precautionary
labels of popular drugs, medicamenta, and other articles
of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon the
well acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, pal
ming oil most destructive and worthless compounds, to
the sore detriment not only of tlie consumer, but to the
character of tlie man who has expended thousands of
dollars in bringing the genuine article into esteem and
demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest of all
hotiaraMe dealers and traders, and the trade is as much
highway robbery as the violent appropriation of their
neighbor's purse; in fact they are beneath the burglar
and highwayman in dignity—for these latter felons ex
hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dis
tinguishing the mercantile assassin who stabs in the
dark. And ought they not be rewarded witli a punish
ment commensurate with the cowardice of their crime?
We were led to these remarks by accidentally observing
a spurious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe's Scheidam
Bclinapps. Tho labels were imitated perfectly, with the
slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid
ance of the law against counterfeiting; the bottles were
very similar, and every thing carefully prepare! to im
pose upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man who
perpetrated this fraud, a.felon a robber ? Assuredly he
is; for, as Mr. Wolfe lias expended large sums to bring
his genuine imported schnapps into uopiilar demand,
that demand may be justly considered a part of liis cap
ital in trade, and a fellow stealing a part of liis reputa
tion is as much of a thief as if he hail stolen a barrel of
bis iefinapps in bulk. And to this crimo he adds a fur
ther one of defrauding the community by giving them a
ruinous article for tlie money they intended to expend
• for a commodity in which they had confidence. And,
further, every man who participates indirectly in tho
fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much oi’ an offen
der as the principal who planned tlie imposition. Tne
remedy of Mr. Wolfe should lie in his holding all concer
ned up to the.contempt of tlie community thus swindled
by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon liy
tlieir noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe
will obtain names, not only of the coucoctors of these
counterfeits, but of every man offering them for sale, and
then publish them to tlie world; for his own reputation
and tlie health of the community demand that all parties
should be nailed to the pillory of popular execration.
From the New York Dispatch.
AN INFAMOUS BUSINESS.
When an enterprising man strikes out anew business,
to tlie establishment of which he givosliis industry, time,
talents and pecuniary moans, can anything be more con
temptible than to have another steal in, and, under spe
cious pretexts, hold out to the public an inferior article,
and endeavor to obtain their patronage? Pray, wliat
difference is there, so far as the honesty of the thing is
concerned, betweed purloining the business by which a
citizen hopes to mako liis bread and stealing the bread
itself ? A common thief, If lie takes without leave, how
ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker’s shop, is appre
hended and condemned to tin* penitentiary for daring iu
a surreptatious manner to appease his appetite; but put
a respectable looking coat on his hack and a few dollars
in liis pocket, aud he may, with impunity, nay, even
with the applause of his fell *ws, by knavery, forgery or
other infamous means, take the business of an honest
Ulan from him, and go unscathed of justice. AH this is
wrong. Some years since a gent.emau of this city (Udol
pho Wolte) introduced to the citizens of the United States
a medicated article of gin, which was highly approved by
professional gentlemeu as a superior tonic and deobstru
ent, and the knowledge of which he, by advertisement
and otherwise, disseminated throughout tho country.
So soon as tricksters, who pass in the business commu
nity us honest men, saw that Mr. Wolfe was likely to
have handsome returns for the time aud money which
lie had expended, they set about forging his labels and
palming off upon the people detestable and poisonous
compounds w hich they have the hardihood to call “Schie
dam Sshnapps.” In eouio instances they have gone so
far as to put \V olte s name to their villainous lbpiids.—
A- this ‘nurd- are growing bold in their rascalities, it is
rime the puMl’ in town and country were putnpon their
guard. ( onsumers should be sure that they purchase
the genuine article, or else their health may tie irrepara
bly injured by using the horrible stuff that unscrupulous
m, n. because they can buy it cheap, will offer as the gen
uine article, l’mv S heiduiii Sehuapps can only be ob
tained at the stores of respectable merchants and drug,
gists. In town and country, and at tho establishment of
Udolpho Wolfe, Nos. 18, 20 and 22 Heaver street, iu this
city, where ills gotten up exclusively. We tlijnk it a du
t\ which Mr. Wolfe owes to himself and the community
to publish, by name, tin* rascals who are thus attempting
to defraud both him and those who would be liis custo
mers. Ife should not permit Ills modesty to hold him
Isick from making so righteous an expose.
