COLUMBUS: Tuesday Morning, Dec. #, 1856. 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. Alabama has 4,435,614 acres of improved land, and 26,026,466 of unimproved land with in her limits. Notwithstanding the great emi gration from her to Arkansas, Texas, &c., her population is constantly {increasing. Bhe has millions of acres of good lands yet uncultiva ted. Her river swamps are yet unclcardd and undruinod. “♦ • —■ In Death not Divided, Under our obituary head a lew days since, was announced the death of Miss Aim Jay, daughter of that sterling patriot nd statesman John Jay, first Chief Justice of tho United States. Under the same head ou Satur day morning last was announced the death of Mrs. Maria Banyer, widow of Goldsborough Ranyer, and sister of Miss Ann Jay. No more of John Jay’s daughters now survive. Fora long series of years, Miss Ann Jay and her sis ter, Mrs. Ranyer, have lived together, one ami inseparable, reflecting the purity and good ness of their illustrious father’s character, in quiet and ceaseless works of benevolence uud charity, und exhibiting in their daily walk and conversation the beauty of the female charac ter in its highest types of refinement, simpli city and piety. Round so together by two lives ot moral beauty bleuded into ottc, death severs not the bohd, but leads them, still uni ted, to the higher life of immortality.—A’, I'. GEUEBAIi ITEMS. Mrs. Frances Lear, the widow of the late Col. Thomas Lear, ‘ the Private Secretary of President Washington, died in Washington City, on Tuesday last, 2d inst. The Alabama Conference of the .Methodist Evpiecopal Church of Alabama, Bishop Pierce presiding, convenes at Tuskegee, on Wednes day next, 10th inst. The far-famed trotting horse, “Vermont Black Ilawk,” died Monday morning, at the stable of his owner, David Hill, Esq., Bridge port, Vermont. He was twenty-three years old. it is believed by many politicans in Missou ri, that the llonorables Thomas 11. Renton and L. M. Kennett, will be elected United States Senators, by a union of the Renton and Know Nothing parties iu the Legislature. At a recent sale iu Rappahurfiiock couuty, Virginia, eight negro slaves, ranging from the age of twelve to thirty-seven years, averaged the sum of one thousand onehnudrel and elev en dollars and a half each. The land sales of tho Illinois Central ail road Company, for third week iu November, were 6,436 acres', for $106,104, averaging $14.26 per acre. The aggregate sales of the month, thus far, are $588,000; for tho year, $1,087,000, and since the commencement of idles, $9,681,000. The c tizens of Atlanta having authorised their Mayorand Couucil to subscribe SIOO,OOO to the stock of the Georgia Air Line Railroad, the Intelligencer assures the Triends of the road that the subscription will be made as soon as an ordinance and other suitable arrange ments arc perfected. The Delaware Railroad is completed, and on Monday last passenger and freight trains com menced running regularly to Seaford, and on the lltli inst. will be formally opened. The road was projected twenty years ago, and has been advancing by slow degrees till it is now completed, at a cost of $1,200,000. The Rev. Dr. Bethuuc, in a recent lecture, said that his experience had taugiit him three important practical rules: Ist. Never contra dicta woman; 2d. Never challenge the bill of a hotel keeper ; Bd. Never quarrel with an editor. On Friday night last a miscreant was dis covered attempting to file oil’ the wire cables of thejnew suspension bridge over Wheeling Creek, at He was detected and pursued be fore he had done any serious damage, butmade his escape. An exchange that never “discontinues a paper until all arrearages are paid” is com pelled to violate the rule in two instances: A pair of its subscribers having been recently hung in Texas, the editor is unable to ascer tain their future and final locality. The Cincinnati Gazette states that a party of workmen, a few days since, while making an excavation at Taylorsville, Kentucky, found a bottle containing notes ou the old United States Bank, amounting to forty thousand dol lars, believed to be genuine. Another curious bet is .-laled in the papers. A Maine Fremontev this week walk's with an eight inch com cob in his mouth, from Shad Lake to Bath. Another Fremonterin Sarato go stands all day with a horse collar around his neck. Roth these bets Were lost in conse quence of the failure of tho Quakers to vote iu Pennsylvania. ■ 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 to the editor shews that negroes are in demand 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 credible. but all whoure disposed to doubt can bp satisfied by referring to the Record of the Court of Ordinary es Oglethorpe county. Yours truly.

The Supreme Courts of Ohio and South Carolina have lately decided that the losing party in a wager may recover from the stake holder, the inoney*he may have deposited with him, although the latter, after the determina tion of the wager, had, by the order of the depositor, paid the money over to the winner. This decision of the Courts is destined to ef fect nn entire revolution in the betting world. Some of the stump speakers iu the late can vass had a bad habit of pronouncing Buchan an as it were spelled Bew-chanau. One of those cacological chaps, says the Cincinnati Times, was, upon a certain occasion, harangu ing the people of Sweet Owen and piling the agony extremely high ou Mr. Bew-chanan, when an honest Democrat, nettled by such contincd eulogy of a perfect stranger, shouted out defyingly from the crowd, “I’ll bet you fif ty dollars Old Ruck can beat him—two to one! ” A most trustworthy witness, Lieut. Gunni son, states that when he was in Utah, the three members of the Presidency had no less than eighty-two wives between them, and that one of the three “was called an old bachelor, be cause he had only a baker’s dozen.” 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. TO SOUTHERN MERCHANTS. CAUTION TO THE PUBISIC. fpUE whole country is Hooded with Counterfeit and Imitation Schnapps. The public should be careful to purchase only the genuine article, manufactured and imported by Udolpho Wolfe, which has tho name of the manufacturer on the Bottle, Cork and Label. For sale by all respectable Grocers and Druggists Bead the opinions of the New York Press. 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. AOENT9 IN SAVANNAHt John B. Moore A Cos. A. A. Sollouions A Cos., A. Ho lland. M. J. Riley, YV. W.
