His habits of 1 sobriety must be above suspicion. Lecture To-Morrow Evening. Henry M. Law, Ksq., of Savannah, will de liver a lecture at the Raptist Church in this city to-morrow evening before the Young Mens’ Christian Association of this city. Subject: “ The Intellectual and Literary Prospects of our country considered in its connection with the importance of sustaining the religious and moral element in the national Literature.” Portrait Painting. All lovers of the fine arts in this city must have noticed, and greatly admired, an admira ble likeness of a well known citizen of Russell county, Alabama, which adorns the walls of Sans Souri. For life-like expression, accuracy and finish, we do not think this portrait is sur passed by any work of art in this city. Mr. Maier, the painter of the portrait above referred to, has arrived in town and has open ed a Studio in the Masonic building, on Broad street. Specimens of his work can be seen at the stores of Vanden Berg, Kivlin & Thom as, and J. W. Pease. They are worthy of ex amination. Mr. M. will remain in town some weeks, and we tako pleasure in commending him to the favorable notice of the public as every way worthy of patronage. In our opinion he is an Artist of first-rate ability.— Times. Messrs. Hunt, Stewart & Cos. have moved to their new qunrtcrs in Jones’ building, west side of Broad street. New store, new goods, and of course new customers will be after them. See Advertisement. Messrs. J. It. Martin & Son, Bakers and Confectioners, on Broad street, nre in full blast. Country merchants canuot get better bargains, or better articles than with those en terprising gentlemen. Their Cake and Pastry department is worthy the attention of the La dies. See advertisement. A Cotton Thief. The Montgomery Mail says a man who re sides in Tallapoosa county, and whose name is in our possession, stands accused in the eyes of persons residing here, of having stolen a bale of cotton from the gin house of Mr. David Chambliss, residing two miles from the city, near the Wetumpka road. The story goes, that the aforesaid Tallapoo sa man stole the bale before day, on Saturday last, and rolled it three-fourths of a mile to the road. Ho then hauled it to town, sold it be fore sunrise and left, mizzled, vamosed and ab squatulated incontinently. We further learn that Mr. Chambliss had previously lost three bales in a very mysterious and unaccountable manner; but this last bale has boon identified here, and its salo traced to the Tallapoosa man before mentioned. For obvious reasons, the Mail withholds tho name of tho party. If the right one is accused, his uamo will appear soon enough ; and if tho wrong one, we do not desire to give him an un enviable notoriety by publishing his name too hastily. Election of Judges and Solicitor*. We find the following act, passod at the last session of the Legislature, in the Milledgeville Recorder of Tuesday: “Sec. 1. Be it enacted, &(., That from and after the passage of this act, the regular elec tions of Judges of the Superior Courts, Attor ney General aud Solicitors General shall be held on the first Monday in January. Sec. 2. Kepcnls conflicting laws.”—rSee laws of 1855-’s(>, p. 140.] L I he term of most of the present incumbents in office, says the Recorder, will not expire till next October, aud although the law is not definite whether the election shall be in ad vauee of the expiration of their terms or the January following, we presume tlieJanuary in advance is intended, otherwise there will be three months next year, when there will be no presiding officers. Rear it then in mind, that Judges and Solicitors are to be elected on the first Monday of next January isn’t it time candidates were in the fiold ? Northeast and Southwest Railroad. No are gratified, says the Eutaw (Ala.) ” lug, to be able to announce to tho friends of this Railroad, that several contractors have eommeucod work in the last few days. Dr. Means, southwest of Eutaw, commenced ten days since, Col. Dow and Dr. Alexander this week—the latter with 40 or 50 hands boing now at work east of town on the Finch’s Fer ry Road. We hear of several others who will com- j uienoe as soon as the carts, barrows and tools ‘ have arrived. Re-Arrest of a Murderer. J. A. Trice, who broke jail in Unionvillo, 8. C., about three years ago, whilst awaitiug his trial tor the murder of Hughes, has been re taken. The murderer had beon working at the carpenter s business ain Humphrey county, l'eunessee, since his escape, still maintaining a bad reputation, however, and having heard that officers were on his track, was again fleeing, but was re-captured while crossing the Tennessee river. Tires in November. Fires were very destructive in the United States last month. There were twenty-two in which the loss exceeded SIOO,OOO eoch: the total amounting to $2,445,000. The principal were as follows:—In Syracuse, $1,000,000: St. Louis, $400,000; New York city $550,000. Florida Indian*. All accounts concur in reporting that pros pects are very favorable for a speedy and peace ful removal of the Indians, under the prompt and euergetio measures of Gen. Harney. Chinese Quince. Mr. A.

This body assembled at the Athemeuui iti Savannah, at 12 o’clock on Monday, and was called to order by Hon. James P. Screven, Mayor of the city, who made a short address to the body welcoming them to the city, &c. The body was opened with prayer by tbe Rt. Rev. Bishop Elliott. James Lyons, Esq. of Richmond, Ya., was chosen President, and Dr. N. B. Cloud, (editor of the American Cotton Planter,) of Alabama, chosen-principal Secretary. Mr. Lyons is a distinguished lawyer of Vir ginia, is a Whig, and has acted a conspicuous partin the politics of that State. Hiw address on taking the chair, appears in the Savannah papers of Tuesday. It is a manly, sensible and appropriate off hand speech, neither agi tating nor tamely submissive in its character, and is said by the press, to have been loudly applauded in its delivery, by a large assem blage of delegates nnd visitors. He eschews all sectional political designs, and maintains that tho true object of the Convention is to ad vance the industrial interests of the South, and thereby strengthen tho Union, and at tho same time proser the former for whatever destiny that may await her in the future. He depre cates the sectional ugitntion of the past few years, which he thinks has originated in great part in the condition of dependence for the ne cessaries and luxuries of life which the South has so long consented to occupy. Tho following are the other officers of the Convention: roll VICE I 1 RESIDENTS. T. B. Bethea, of Alabama. Hon. Joel Crawford, of Georgia. David Farks, of North Carolina. John L. Brown, of Maryland.

For the government of tho Convention, the Committee recommended the adoption as far as practicable of the rules of the House of Re presentatives of the United States. Also, that in voting, each State be allowed as many votes ns she is entitled to in the elec toral college The report was agreed to. A committee of 21 was, on motion of Mr. Cochran, of Alabama, appointed by the chair, to report business for the action of the Con vention. The Kansas Representation. In the House of Representatives on Friday, after some little debate, which would be of no interest to our readers, as no now points were raised, the question was taken upon the mo tion of Mr Grow to lay the motion to recon sider the vote by which the House on Monday decided that the oath of office should not be administered to the delegato from Kansas, and it was decided in the negative—yeas 108, nays 111. A proposition was then made by Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, to postpone the whole matter till Tuesday, which was unanimously acquiesced iD. Something of a Decline. The New Orleans Delta of Friday says India Bagging which was quoted in that market about four months ago, (in August last,) at 24 cents, was sold yestesday at 12 cents per yard, a reduction in price during that short period of just fifty per cent. Reporter of the Supreme Court. The Savannah Journal is informed that T. It. R. Cobb, Esq., has resigned the position of reporter of the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia, and that B. V.

Tho steamship Atlantic arrived at New Or leans on the Ist instant from Galveston, which latter port she left on 23d ult. The Indians continued their murders aud de predations in Texas. On the Oth ult. six per sons were killed and scalped in lver county, about forty miles from San Antonio. The Tsxan, of the latter place, says: ‘-It seems that seven persons had encamped for night, and the Indians came upon them while asleep, killed and scalped four and left two mortally wounded; one only can survive of the seven. “Our citizens, we fear, will be under the necessity of taking the defence of our frontier into their owu hands.” Important to Postmasters. It is represented to tho department that in many of the post offices, particularly at the South, public documents are allowed to remain for weeks and sometimes months, without be ing despatched or delivered according to their address. We understand the P. M. General has issued stringent instructions on this subject, and that such delinqueucy on the part of any postmaster, when reported to the department, will be considered good cause of removal.— Washington Union. A New York correspondent of the Albany Argus, says that Col. Fremont has challenged Senator Toombs of this State for imputations upon the legitimacy of the birth of the former. GENERAL ITEMS. Hon. Joseph B. Lancaster, Mayor of Tam pa, Florida and a distinguished jurist and pol itician, died on Tuesday, the 25th ult., of Pneu monia. Tho steamer Flying Eagle, from New York, was seized September 20th, by Portuguese au thorities. at Benguala, Africa,having onboard a cargo of slaves. She is now awaiting the •rrival of a United States vessel of war. Mr. John Reed, attached to the National Theatre, in New York, died on Monday night, of an enlargement of the heart. He perform ed his part that night week in the drama of “Wealth and Worth” although feeling ill at the time, and from then grew worse, until death relieved him of his sufferings. The New Orleans Bee of the 2d inst., speak ing of the present position of the South, says: “ The recklessness and madness of abolition have convinced tho South of the imperative ne cessity for union, and have therefore secured the undivided strength of Southern intelligence, sagacity and resolution on every vexed sec tional question that may arise.” A short tiino since Surrogate Waldron, of Saratoga. New York, refused to admit the will of W. P. 0. Comstock, of that town, be cause the witness to it signed the document without knowing to what it related. They could not swear that they signed a will, and therefore the will was declered void. The waters of the Chesapeake are now uni ted with the Great Lake of the United States. The first boat through the North Branch, l’a., and junction canals arrived at Elmira, N. Y., on Monday, from Pittston, Pa. She was four days on the passage and came richly freighted with coal. The arrival of the first boat was greeted with geeat rejoicings by the people of Elmira. This new and important channel of in ternal communication is 18 mileslong, was com menced in 1855 and cost $400,000. Americus—Conference Session. The Georgia Annual Conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, commenced its session in Americus, on Wednesday last. The vener able and venerated Bishop Andrews presiding over its deliberations. There were in attand ancc about two hundred preachers, itinerant and local, and the proceedings of this large and influential body, up to the time of our leaving, were delightfully harmonious and sat isfactory. Bishop Andrews possesses very su perior talents as a presiding officer. His oc casional admonitions and suggestions, are ex ceedingly well timed and appropriate. On Sabbath morning he delivered one of his good old fashioned, telling discourses, to tho very large and deeply impressed auditory which as sembled at tho Methodist Church. After which he ordained to the office of Deacon, some for ty candidates. Tho Rev. Dr. Summers, the indefatigable and learned Book Editor, from Nashville, was also in attendance and made interesting and effec tive speeches, and the Anniversaries of the Sunday School. Tract and Missionary Socie ties. Upwards of twenty thousand dollars were raised during the last year, within the bounds of the Conference, for missions ; and we judged from the reports, that other in terests under the supervision and direction of the Conference, were highly prosperous. We are not prepared at the present to notice thorn more elaborately. We cannot omit, however, to mention the gratification, with which wo listened to an eloquent address before tho Con ference, from the llev. Dr. McNeil, the efficient corresponding secretary of the American Bible Society. The pulpits of the different Churches, on Sabbatli, were filled by members of the Con ference ; and the intelligence and worthy citi zens dispensed their hospitality with graceful and characteristic influence. We were compelled to leave before the ap pointments were announced. They will ap pear in our next issue.— Macon Messenger. New York Literature by the Square Foot. An amusing story i3 told of one of the nou veaux riches that inhabit the west end of this metropolis. Our millionaire built and equipped a splen did palatial residenco in the upper part of “tho Avenue.” There was wanting no ele gance, no luxury, no embelishments, that van ity could suggost or money purchase. Superb mirrors, measured not by inches but by yards, flanked the spacious walls; hoavy silk bro cades, richly embroidered, hung from the ceil ings within elegant and massive ornaments of gold royal Wilton and Axminster carpets vied in their soft aud delicate texture with the rich and aristocratic Aubusson upon the expansive floor of the saloons; elaborately carved rose wood, ebony and buhl furniture, graced every room: while, in a word, all the appliances of wealth, voluptuousness, and refinement, were there, each in its proper sphere. One room only had been overlooked—the library! There stood the elegant book case gaping for their treasures, but unsatisfied. Our nabob had two nieces residing with him beautiful as Houis, lovely as the Queens of Day and Night. They had persuaded their doting uncle to open tho rooms with a ball on Christ mas (last Christmas) night. It was proposed only the evening previous, and at once adopted. But the library ! how strange it would seem to tbe guests that, while the senses was carefully provided for, the mind was neglected. The library must be furnished, and that at once. So, ou Christmas morning a messenger is dispatched to the leading bookstore in Broad way for an estimate for the library. Post hast comes a clerk from Messrs. A. k Cos. with tho latest catalogue of rare and selected works. “Psha,” says our friend, none of your cata logues here ; with this rule measure the square feet exposed by these book cases, and let me fill them? Make your own selection, but give me good backs.” Tho astonished clerk measures and calculates his authors by tho square foot. “For eigh teen hundred dollars,” at length he says, “I will fill these cases with standard works, well bound.” “That’s too much,” says our millionaire, “the furniture has cost a mint already, and 1 canuot go more than SOOO for these books, so make your own choice of what you give me, bnt fill them up for that.” The library was furnished for $000; tho “backs” were showy ; the ball went off with eclat; the mirrors were pretty; the uncle’s hospitality princely, aud none of tbe gaudy rooms were more attractive than the library and its square feet of books with handsome backs.— N. Y. Evening News. --- - - Strike for Higher Wages. We learn that our shipping merchants have been subjected to great inconvenience for some days past on account of a “stike” among the laborers on the wharf, for higher wag s. They have been receiving $1.50 per diem heretofore, and now claim $2,00 for seven and a half work hours. We are informed that an arrangement has been set on foot to dispense altogether with this foreign aid, and employ slave labor in their stead, and that they will be able to carry it into effect in a few days.— Savannah Repub liear, • r t!t inst. TELEGRAPHIC. Telegraphed to the Daily Bun. FOU DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. New York, Dec. 10.

Arrest of Suspicious Characters. Pittsburg, Dec. 2.—Tho police, last eve ning, about 11 o’clock, arrested two suspicious characters, who represented themselves as Lord Arthur, John Hudson and Sir Charles Milley. Although stopping at one of the most common taverns in the city, they succeeded in impress ing several citizens, mechanics and tradesmen with an idea of their importance, and whom they have bled to considerable amounts during the fortnight they have been hero. They rep resented that they had £40,000 on deposit with a Pittsburg broker, but doubting his stability they bough an expensive safe for the security of their imaginary treasure. Lord John had bought a large farm well stocked for $17,000, and the deeds were drawn up ready for the consummation of the bargain, when it was dis covered that they were pennyless swindlers. They were arrested in the presence of the par son and the wedding guests, during the pro gress of the marriage of one of the parties with their landlord’s daughter. Congressional. Washington, Dec. 4.— Senate — To-day the Senate resumed the consideration of the mo tion to print an extra numberof the President’s Message, and the accompanying documents.

Kansas News. Chicago, Dec. 4— Advices from Kansas re port that Gov. Geary had taken measures to re capture the prisoners who had recently escaped from Lecompton. The grand jury having found bills against several pro-slavery men, a public meeting had been called. The Surveyor General Calhoun presided. At this meeting, Gov. Geary and his inquisitorial Courts were repudiated and denounced, and calls were issued for the “Law and Order” men to meet at Leavenworth on Ist December.

TO SOUTHERN MERCHANTS. CAUTION TO TIIE PUBLIC. rpilE whole country is flooded with Counterfeit aud A Imitation Schnapps. The public should be careful to purchase only the genuine article, manufactured ami imported by Udolpho Wolfe, which has the name of the manufacturer on the Bottle, Cork ard Label. For sale by all respectable Grocers aud Druggists Road the opinions of the New York Press. UDOLPHO WOLFE, 22 Beaver St., New York. From the New York Mercury. Fraudulent Imitations ok Superior Commodities, Among the many dishonesties of trade which the mor al sense of the community is called upon to suppress, vt would particularly notice ainost perniciousandiufuiuoui practice adopted by unscrupulous dealersof imitating sud counterfeiting the exterior appearance aud precautionary labels of popular drugs, medicameuta, aud other article of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon Un well acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, pal ming off most destructive and worthless compounds, to tho sore detriment not only of the consumer, but to tho character of the man who has expended thousands of dollars in bringing the genuine article into esteem ,ud demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest of all houurable 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 ei hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise die tinguishing the mercantile assassin who stabs in the 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 Sclieidsm Schnapps. The labels were imitated perfectly, with the slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid ance of the law aguinst counterfeiting; the bottlesvert very similar, and every thing carefully preparei to im pose upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man win. perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber? Assuredly be is; for, as Mr. Woll'e has expended large sums to bi-ing his genuine imported schnapps into popular demand, that demand may be justly considered a part of his cap ital in trade, and a fellow stealing a part of his reputa tion is as much of a thief as if he had stolen a barrel of his schnapps in bulk. And to this crime he adds a fur ther one of defrauding the community by giving them a ruinous article for the money they intended to expend for a commodity in which they had confidence. And, further, every man who participates indirectly In tin fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much of an offen der as the principal who planned the imposition. Tin remedy of Mr. Wolfe should lie in his holding all concer ned up to tho contempt of the community thus swindled by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon b) their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Welle will obtain names, not only of the concoctors of there counterfeits, but of every man offering them fbr sale, und then publish them to the world; for his own reputation and the health of the community demand that all pul-tier should be nailod 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 ho gives his industry, time, talents and pecuniary means, can anything be more con temptible than to have another steal in, nnd, 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 ns tho honesty of the thing i* concerned, betweed purloining the business by which citizen hopes to make his bread und stealing the bresd itself? A common thief, if lie takes without leave, how ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker’s shop, i appre hended aud condemned to the penitentiary for during in a surreptatious manner to appense his appetite; but pul a respectable looking cout on his back and a few dollar’ in his pocket, and he may, with impunity, nay. even with the applause of his fellows, by knavery, forgery or other infamous means, tuke the business of an lmne-i man from him, nnd go unscathed of justice. All this l” wrong. Some years since a gentleman of this city (Udol pho Wolte) introduced to the citizens of the United State a medicated article of gin, which was highly approved by professional gentlemen as a superior tonic ami di-obstru ent, and the knowledge of which he, by advertisement and otherwise, disseminated throughout the country So soon as tricksters, who pass in the business commu nity as honest men, saw that Mr. Wolfe was likely t” have handsome returns for the time and money which he had expended, they set about, forging his label* nnd palming off upon the people detestuble and poisonous compounds which they have the hardihood to call “Set l "” dam Sshnapps.” In some instances they have gone ’ fur as to put Wolfe’s name to their villainous liquid*-” As this horde are growing bold in their rascalities, j 1 |* time the public in town and country were put upon then guard. Consumers should be sure that they purdw* 1 the genuine article, or else their health may be irrepM*’ bly injured by using the horrible stuff that iinscrnpulon* men, because they can buy it cheap, will offer a* the g*”’ uiue article.
