Printer Wanted-
An experienced printer in the Job Depart- j
ment, is wanted at this office. 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.

Commercial Convention.
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:

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.

Indian Murders in Texas.
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

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.—

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

The first boat through the North Branch, l’a.,

greeted with geeat rejoicings by the people of
Elmira. This new and important channel of in

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

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

The Greatest Discovery of the Age
It seldom occurs that we notice, under an,
circumstances, patent medicines, restoratives
or any thing of the kind, for we have a p rfc j u '.
dice against most of them. But candor com
pels us to invite attention to the advertisemcct
of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. We ate
too juvenile to require any thing of the kind,
but some instances of its use have come to nut
knowledge which almost assure us that it is ,
sovereign remedy against the hair becoming
prematurely gray. It is not a “Hair l)y e ;”
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.

Fraudulent Imitations ok Superior Commodities,
Among the many dishonesties of trade which the mor

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.

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. Pure Seheidau, Schnapps can only be e ‘
tained at the stores of respectable merchants and dt u (.
gists, in towu and country, and at tho establishment <>
Udolpho Wolfe. No*. IS, 20 and 22 Beaver Street, in t |n
city, where it is gotten up exclusively. We think it“ •
ty which Mr. Wolf- owes to himself and the comnmnt
to publish, by nun -, the rascals who are thus attempting
to defraud both him and those who would be hicu* ‘
niers. He should not ja-rmit his modesty to hold nu
back from making so righteous an expose.
