cO LUMBP S: Wdneiidy Mornlugi Dec. 10, 1856. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. Printer Wanted An experienced printer in the Job Depart ment, in wanted at thin office. His habits ot sobriety must be above suspicion. The Pork Prospect. The Maii says Pork is held at 8c hog round in Montgomery. In this city it is Bto 9c and scarce. In Chattanooga it is selling at 5} to lie. These are rather tall figures considering the large supply of Dacon in the country. Incendiaries at Work- We learn from the Advertiser that on Sat urday night last, as Mr. JaineH Farley of the Hanking House of John Henley & Cos., in Montgomery, was entering his promises, on his returning home from business, a suspicious fellow leaped the fenco and made his way pre cipitately off, Farley firing at him in the mean time, and at the same time another scondrel incontinently vamosed from the premises of Bam Swan, serose the street, also making his way off, as fast as his legs could carry him. Developments prove that these scoundrels had been attemping to fire the premises of Farley and Swan, as oombustible materials, together with matches, wore found both under the dwelling of the former and the stable of the latter. Their object doubtless was to take ad vantage of the confusion incideut to their in tended incendiarism, and break into the Hank ing House of John Henly & Cos., and the Lot tery Office of Sam Swan. The combustibles underneath of Swan’s stable had already been ignited, but had fortunately gone out. It is not known whether theso incendiaries were white men or negroes. Mr. Farley in forms us, however, that the foot-prints loft by the one on his premises wero those of a “gen teel boot,” which proves, to our mind, that white inon were engaged in the work. Projected Rival of the ‘‘Times.” A meeting for the purpose of establishing a newspaper to rival the London Times, has been held in England; and a movement started to raise a paid up capital of two and a half mil lions of dollars for the purpose. The pro ject was inaugurated by several clergymen who take exception to the theological character of the Times; and it is said that fifty thousand dollars of the stock has already been subscrib ed. Newspapers established to compete with, or break down, existing journals seldom suc ceed, eveu in living long, to say nothing of ac complishing their object. A Remedy for Sprains. A friend has handed to us, says the Buffalo Republic, the following recipe for sprains, the publication of which, if it be as good as he deems it, may be productive of benefit to some of our readers: One pint of soft soap, (coun try preferred,) one pint of whiskey; mix and boil them until the quantity is reduced to about one pint. It will then be of the consis tency of a piaster salve. Take a thick cloth, cotton or liuen, sufficiently large to cover the parts injured, spread the mixture, and sprin kle the same with black pepper. Apply this, and let it remain for forty-eight hours. A cure, in nine out of ton cases, will be effected. Probable Origin of the Times Hoax. A correspondent of the Savannah Republi can furnishes the following probable solution of the Arrowsmith Hoax on the Loudon Times, After detailing hisimpreßsion that Mr. Arrow smith intended his publication as a hoax, the correspondent says: Suspecting one of the Mail Ageuts between Augusta and Columbus, of having a hand in it, aud meeting him shortly after the appear ance of the story in the American papers, I acquainted him of my suspicion, when ho stated to me that he had amused an indie hour in fa bricating the story, and getting into conversa tion with an Englishman who was passing over the route, on the subject of Southern atroci ties, read him his effort. The traveler requested the copy of the sto ry, which he gave him, without suspicion of the use that would be mado of it, and you may imagine his astonishment, as well as amuse ment, when it made its appearauce in the Times, as a true aud genuine scene, as witnes sed by the acute Mr. Arrowßmith, on his pas sage from Macon to Augusta. A Tiger Story. A gentleman writing to the Savannah Geor gian, from Mill Grove, St. John’s River, Flo rida, tells the following story: A few weeks since a friend and neighbor of mine, Capt. Samuel Somers, with gun and dog, strolled out, not far from his residence, for a hunt.. His dog pretty soon started, and after following a whilo he discovered two half grown tigers up a tree, which he shot and killed. Then looking a little farther on lie perceived the old tigress also up a tree. To use his owu expression, “she looked like a cow.” Being u liuuter of undaunted spirit, he advanced un til the hugh creature began crouching, with gleaming eyes aud bared teeth, preparing to make a spring ou him. At this critical mo ment he discharged bis piece, wounding her badly in the head. She began a hurried de scent, uttering all tho while tho most awful and terrific screams he ever heard. When within a few feet of tho grouud, he lodged the contents of a second barrel in her back, which ended her further movements. He decribes her screams as resembling those of a terrified woman, only much louder and shriller. He said they caused his hair to stand on end. Having dispatched her, he pursued his dog, who was all this time chasing the old male ti ger. lie come in sight of him several times, but owing to some disadvantageous circum stances he would not shoot, fearing lie would wound him, and in that case he knew he would lose his dog, and perhaps his own life. He de scribes him as being much larger than tho ti gress. As night was fast setting in, he went home and returned in the morning to take off the skins of the slain. Beside them was the bod of the old tiger where he had spent the night with his dead family. The tigress measured eleveu feet six inches lrom the end of her tail to the tip of her nose, aud it is supposed would have weighed from three to four hundred pounds. The jury in the case of Baker, on trial for the murder of Poole, in New York, have dmagTeed. The President’s Message. The following notice of the views of Presi dent Pierce on the Missouri Cempromise, we. take from the Hnltimore Clipper, the organ of the American party iu that city : Nearly one half of this official paper is occu pied with a statement of the principles which were settled, as the President supposes, by the result of the late Presidential election, and in the discussion of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the affairs of Kansas. In ull that he says, in reference to the danger of es tablishing sectional parties, we heartily concur; but we do not sanction the assertion of the President relative to the uuconstitutionulity of the Missouri Compromise. That Compromise carried out the principle of the ordinance of 1787, —a principle approved by Washington, Jefferson, and all the great statesmen of the country. The Missouri Compromise is, iu fact, now in force in Texas, but is a dead letter if the act be unconstitutional, it seems to he somewhat surprising that among the great lawyers who have passed the Missouri Compro mise in review for more than thirty years past, none should have been able to discover the un constitutionality of the act, until the present administration came into power—nor would that discovery have yet been made had it not been supposed by aspirants for the l’rcsideucy, that the repeal of that act would increase their chance of receiving the Cincinnati nom ination. If the act were unconstitutional, aud repealed in consequence of its being so, why is the Compromise in Texas permitted to stand. The fact is, that the uctive part taken by Pre sident Pierce in procuring the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, made it incumbent upon him to offer some justification for the act—and hence the effort to prove it to be unconstitu tional. The act did no iujustice to any one or sec tion, while its repeal has originated sectional organizations, which, if continued, will, in all probability, disturb the harmony of the coun try. Ambition directed the repeal, and it is not in the power of the President to escape his portion of the responsibility for whatever may be the result. He censures, and very justly, the interference of abolition fanatics with the institutions of the South; but he should remember that it was his act, that this sectional feeling was revived and brought into its present offensive and aggressive action. Had he fulfilled his premise of discountenanc ing slavery agitation, the country would have remained at peace, and slave owners would have continued to recover their fugitive slaves. To him and to Senator Douglas is the country indebted for tho agitation and civil war which have prevailed in the efforts to settle Kansas. Amidst the distractions occasioned by oppos ing factions, the country has continued to prosper aud grow rich—nor can this prosperi ty be long interrupted even by the errors of those who may be appointed governor. If it could, we should have had a rapid retrogrado movement during the administration which will close on the fourth of March next. The Savannah Republican, a prominent Amorican paper in Georgia, thus speaks of the same portion of the message. Verily, the lat itude of Baltimore seems to be infectious. “We have little comment to make on this document, yet we feel that it would be unjust, both to the author and our own sentiments, did we fail to offor some public expression of our approval of its sound and patriotic doc trines, and the very salutary recommendations it contains iu reference to matters appertain ing to the general welfare. Upon the great question that has so long divided tho country —the constitutional rightsof the slave holding States—the message cf Mr. Pierce is all that any honest man of the South can demand or desire. It sustains every position for which the South has been contending in her strug gles with a demeuted anti-slavery fanaticism at the North, and by an argument thoroughly national and based upon the principles of the Constitution. Asa Southern man, we desire to offer our sincere thanks to the President for his able and manly vindication of the equality of the States, aud of our own section against the charge of aggression upon our Northern brethren, either as regards their rights or their feelings. Coming, as this message does, from a Northern man who has risen, under the im pulse of a uoblo patriotism, above the preju dices of education and the public sentiment of his people, it is earnestly to be hoped that his voice may be heard above the tumultuous ele ments, and that reason and justice, so long de throned, may be restored once more to their legitimate position and power. Notwithstanding a difference of opinion among our own political friends on thesubjcct, we have always advocated the opiuion advanc ed by the President, that the refusal of the North, in 1850, to recognize and adopt the Missouri Compromise in settlement of the slavery agitation of that day, destroyed its power aud influence as a compromise, and re lieved the South from all obligation to regard it as a solemn compact, binding iu good faith, and perpetual in its oporation. Tho Missouri Compromise had always been regarded ns a sacred compact by the South ; aud when the dangers that grew out of the Mexican acquisi tion stared us in the face aud threatened the overthrow of our beloved Union, this same Compromise was held up by the most ultra Southern Convention that ever assembled, as tho measure of our rights and the rule of duty for the North. It was indigently rejected and spurned. Notwithstanding this, the South agreed to the settlement that followed ; and now, when we simply come forward and assert the samo principle that was forced upon us in 1850, wo are charged with slavery aggression and a breach of faith. IVe have no room to enlarge upon that portion of the message which treats this subject so much in detail, and con tent ourselves with a simple reiteration of our approval of its sentiments, and thanks to the man who was honest and bold enough to pro claim them.” A Wedding Epidemic. The New York Mirror remarks: Matrimo ny, just now, seems to be prevailing in this city to an alarming extent. The fashionable quarters, about the _ middle of the week, (Wednesdays and Thursdays beiug marrying days,) are blocked up with carriage*: and bridal cards, cake* and boquets arc flying about as thick as snow flakes. The jewelry business, if one may judge from the display of bridal presents, must be flourishing beyond precedent; aud if matrimony opens the gate of Paradise, New York contains a good many happy couples about theso times. One of the largest and most splendid of theso nuptial fes tivals came off’ on Wednesday, in 22d street, the bride beiug the only daughter of one of our wealthiest merchants, and the happy bridegroom a young and rising member of the bar of this city. It is estimated that the doors of not less than one thousand carriages were opened and shut by Brown, to let out and in the guests ; and the jam of beauty and fash ion can be better imagined than described. An effort is making in Rome, in this State, to organise a company to engage largely in the production of iron from the ore, established rolling mills, &c. A San Francisco Auctioneer. The reporter of the San Francisco News furnishes that paper with the following report of a speech made by u California auctioneer: ‘Ladies aud gentlemen, I now have the hon or of putting up a fine pocket handkerchief: a yard wide, a yard long, and almost a yard thick; oue hulf cotton, Sud t’other half cot ton too; beautifully printed with stars and stripes on one side, and the stripes and stars on t’other. It will wipe dust from the eyes so completely as to be death to demagogues, aud make politics as bud a business us printing papers. Its great length, breadth and thick ness, together with its dark color, will enable it to hide dirt, and never need washing. Go ing at one dollar! seventy-five cents? fifty cents ? twenty five cents ? one bit ? Nobody want! Oh ! thank you, sir ! Next, gentlemen—for the ladies won’t be permitted to bid on this article—is a real si mou pure tempered, highly polished, keen edged Sheffield razor; brun spaukin new; never opened before to sunlight, moonlight, starlight, daylight or gaslight; sharp enough to shave a lawyer, or cut a disagreeable ao quaintaintanee or poor relation; handle of buckhorn, with all the rivets but two at the ends pure gold. Who will give two dollars? one dollar ? half a dollar ? Why.yelongbeard ed, dirty faced reprobates, with not room on your phixzies for a Chinese woman to kiss, I’m offering you a bargain at half a dollar! Well, I will throw in this strop at half a dollar ! ra zor and strop ! a recent patent; two rubs up on it will sharpen the city attorney ; all for four bits; and a piece of soap, sweeter than roses, lathers better than a schoolmaster, and strong enough to wash all the stains from a California politicians science, all for four bits. Why, you have only to put the razor strop and soup under your pillow at night and wake up in the morning clean shaved. Won’t anybody give two bits, then, for the lot? Ikucw 1 would sell ’em. “Next, ladies and gentlemen, I offer three pairs socks, hose, stockings or half hose, just as you’re mind to call them, knit by a machine made on purpose, out of cotton wool. Tho man that buys these will be enabled to walk, till he gets tired; and, provided his boots are high enough, needn’t have any corns; the legs are long as bills against the corporation, and as thick as tho heads of the members of the legislature. Who wants ’em at one half dol lar? Thank-ee madam, the mouey. “Next, I offer you a pair of boots; made especially for San Francisco, with heels long enough to raise a man up to the Hoadley grades, and nails to insure against being car ried over by a land slide ; legs wide enough to carry two revolvers and a bowie knife, and the upper of the very best horse leather. A man in these boots can move about as easy as the State Capitol. Win. says twenty dollars ? All the tax payers ought to buy a pair to kick tho council with ; everybody ought to have a pair to kick the legislature with, and they will be found of assistance to kicking the bucket, especially if somebody should kick at being kicked. Ten dollars for legs, upper and soles! with souls, and miserable souls at that, are bringing twenty thousand dollars in Sacra mento ! Ten dollars ! ten dollars! gone at ten dollars! “ Next is something that you ought to have, gentlemen, a lot of good gallowses—sometimes called suspenders. 1 know that some of you will be furnished at the State’s expense, but you can’t tell which one, so buy where they’re cheap. All that deserve hanging are not supplied with a gallows ; if so. there would be nobody to make laws, condemn criminals, or hang culprits until anew election. Made of pure gum-elastic—stretch like a judge’s con science, and last as loug as a California office holder will steal; buckets of pure iron, and warranted to hold so tight that no man’s wife can rob him of the breeches ; are, in short, as strong, as good, as perfect, as effectual, and as bona fide as the ordinance against Chinese shops on Dupont street —gone at twenty-five cents.” A Speech from Mr. Buchanan. We learn from the Lancaster Express that tho students of Franklin and Marshall College paid a visit to Wheatland on Friday last, to pay their respects to the President elect. Mr. W. A. Duncan delivered a Congratulatory address, to which Mr. Buchnnuu replied. After allud ing to college life, anil the duties of young men, tho Express says— Mr. Buchanan remarked that his election had been alluded to, and he might be expected to say something on that point. He had been elected to the high and responsible office of President, and he thanked them most sincerely for their congratulations; but whether the event would prove to be a matter of congratu lation, time alone can determine. Without saying which party was right or which wrong, the fears of the “father of his country” had at last been realized, and we now behold a sectional part}', one portion of our Union arrayed in pol itical hostility to the other. The object of his administration would be to destroy any section al party—North or South—aud harmonize all sections of the Union under a national and conservative government, as it was fifty years ago. Unless this be done, the time may come when theße sectional animosities which now unhappily oxist, may break up the fairest and most perfect form of government the sun ever shone upon. But he trusted that tho same Power which had watched over aud preserved us in the past, will continue to smile upon us aud make us a prosperous, united and happy people. In conclusion, he said, that if he could in any degree, be the honored instrument of allaying this sectional excitement and restoring the government to the principles and policy of the fathers, he would then feel that he had not assumed the arduous duties of the office iu vaiu. Bold Attempt at Horse Stealing. A young man by the name of Ileygood, wa3 seized with such a fancy for Capt. James For syth's large gray horse, that he took him from the rack iu this place one day last week and attempted to muko hisescapo with him to parts unknown ; but the youth was overhauled about 20 miles from town and brought back, and af ter an examination before Justice Thompson, was committed to jail. Wo learn that the young man confessed to his pursuers that lie had honestly stolen the horse. — Dalton Times. Profitable Venture. One day last week a gentleman of New Smyr na, Florida, arrived at this port with 20,000 Oranges, which he disposed of at S4O per thousand. These Oranges were raised by his owu labor, unasssisted by any one,—and from an orchard of trees only four years old. St. Augustine was formerly celebrated for the abundance of Oranges grown in its vicinity, but a few years ago a severe frost killed near ly all the trees, so that the raising of this lus cious fruit has been confined to places in the more Southern part of the State. Rare Generosity. A gentleman who died in Botetout county, Va., a few months ago, devised his entire pro perty, estimated at SIO,OOO, to one of his sis ters. After his death that sister destroyed his will and divided his property equally be tween a brother and sister aud herself. A ran and noble exhibition of the unselfishness of a si <tor's love.

Withered leaves are arouud us falling To the wintry blast they bend. Whispering in accents mournful, “All things beautiful must end.’’ Nature, robbed of nil her glory, bends unwillingly her head, Like a broken-hearted mother Weeping o’er her cherished dead! Ah, those leaves once green and lovely, Oft I hailed them as my friends; Now no pieusing thought they bring me, To my heart no beauty lends. Yes! they bring a sweet remembrance Os the happy, happy past} They are types to me, aud shadows Os eternal life nt last. Withered leaves are round us fulling, To the faintest breeze they bend; Yet their fulling is u token That this life is not our end. Yes 1 on every leaf is written, In my mind u holy thought; Yes! the hope of life upspringiug From the grave by them is brought. Though they’re withered now and fulling Down to earth their native tomb, Yet the parent stalk will flourish, And with fresh leaves bud and bloom. So our mortal frames will perish, Like the falling leaves aud sere ; Y'et again will bloom and flourish, In a bright eternal sphere. The Greatest Discovery of the Age. It seldom occurs that we 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 tho advertisement of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. We 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 PUBLIC. lUIE whole country is flooded with Counterfeit and . Imitation Schnapps. Tho public should be careful to purchase only the genuine article, manufactured and imported by Udolpho Wolfe, which lias the name of the manufacturer on tho Bottle, Cork and Label. For sale by all respectable Grocers and Druggists. Read the opinions of the New York Press. UDOLPHO WOLFE, 22 Beaver St., New York. F’rom the New York Mercury. Fraudulent Imitations of Superior Commodities, Among the many dishonesties of trado which the mor al sense of the community is called upon to suppress, we would particularly notice a most pernicious and in famous practice adopted by unscrupulous dealersof imitating and counterfeiting the exterior appearance and precautionary labels of popular drugs, inedicamenta, and other articles of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon the well acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, pal ming off most destructive and worthless compounds, to the sore detriment not only of the consumer, but to the character of the 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 honorable dealers and traders, and the trade is as much highway robbery ns the violent appropriation of their neighbor’s purse ; in fact they are beneath the burglar and highwayman in dignity—for theso latter felons ex hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dis tinguishing tiie mercantile assassin who stabs in tiie dark. And ought they not be rewarded with 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 Schnapps. The 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; fiir, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring liis genuine imported schnapps into popular demand, that demand may be justly considered a part of his cap ital in trade, and a fellow stealing <1 part of his reputa tion is as much of a thief as if lie had stolen a barrel of his schnapps in bulk. And to this crime lie adds a fur ther one of defrauding tiie community by giving them a ruinous article for the money they intended to expend for a commodity in which they had confidence. Aud, further, every man who participates indirectly in the fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much of an offen der as the principal who planned the imposition. Tue remedy of Mr. Wolfe should lie in iiis holdiug all concer ned up to the contempt of tiie community thusswiudled by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon by their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe will obtain names, not only of tbe concoctors of theso counterfeits, hilt of every man offering them for sale, and then publish them to the world ; for his own reputation and the health of the community demand that all parties should he nailed to the pillory of popular execration. From the New York Dispatch. AN INFAMOUS BUSINESS. When an enterprising man strikes out anew business, to the establishment of which he gives his industry, time, talents and pecuniary means, 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, what difference is there, so far as the honesty of the thing is concerned, betweed purloining the business by which a citizen hopes to make his bread and stealing the bread itself? A common thief, if he takes without leave, how ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker’s shop, is appre hended and condemned to the penitentiary for daring in a surreptatious manner to appease his appetite; but put a respectable looking coat on his back and a few dollars in his pocket, and he may, with impunity, nay, even with the applause of his felUws, by knavery, forgery or other infamous means, take the business of an honest man from him, and go unscathed of justice. All this is wrong. Some years since a gentleman of this city (Udol plio Wolte) introduced to the citizens of the United States a medicated article of gin, which was highly approved by professional gentlemen as a superior tonic and deobstru ent, and tlie knowledge of which he, by advertisement and otherwise, dissouiinated throughout the country. So soon as tricksters, who pass in the business commu nity as honest men, saw that Mr. Wolfe was likely to have handsome returns for the time and money which he had expended, they set about forging his labels and palming off upon the people detestable Hnd poisonous compounds which they have the hardihood to call “Schie dam Sehnapps.” In some instances they have gone so far ns to put Wolfe’s name to their villainous liquids.— As this horde are growing bold in their rascalities, it is time the public in tow n and country were put upon their guard. Consumers should be sure that they purchase the genuine article, or else their health may lie irrepara bly injured by using the horrible stuff that unscrupulous men, because they can buy It cheap, will offer as the gen uine article. I’nre Scheidam Schnapps can only bo ob tained at the stores of respectable merchants and drug, gists, in town and country, and at the establishment of Udolpho Wolfe, Nos. 18, HO and 22 Beaver Street, in this city, where it is gotten up exclusively. We think it a du ty which Mr. t\ olfe owes to himself and the community to publish, liy name, the rascals who are thus attempting to defraud both him and those who would be liis custo mers. He should not permit his modesty to hold him hark from muking so righteous an expose. AOENTS IN SAVANNAH: John I). Moore A Cos., A. A. Sollomous A Cos., A. Ho lland..M.J. Riley, W. W.
