COLUMBUS: Friday Morning) Dec. 13) 1850. I.ARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. Printer Wanted- An experienced printer in the Job Depart ment, is wanted at this office. His habits of sobriety must be above suspicion. County Treasurer. At the last session of the Legislature of this State, an act was passed, making the office of County Treasurer of Muscogee county, elective by the people, instead of the Inforior Court, as heretofore; and requiring the first election under the act to take place on the first Mon day in January next, in the same manner as other county officers. Having heard nothing of aspirants for the post, wo have thought proper to call the attention of the wild hunt ers after office to it. We understand the of fice is an easy going affair nnd pays well. Who don’t want it? Wo do; but don’t think wo can risk our hide on the pole, just now. See Act in another part of to-duy’s Sun. ■■ 9 - Our citizens may expect a rich intellectual treat, in tho lecture to bo delivered to-night, by Henry M. Law, Esq., of Savannah, at the Haptist Church. The Lecture is delivered before, and at the solicitation of the members comprising the “Voung Men’s Christian Association ” in this city. The subject is one of great scope, and from the reputation of the speaker, we anti cipate a highly edified and delighted audience. We want to see our citizens show their appre ciation of scionce by Hilling tho Church to its extont with the elite of tho city. llis efforts in Savannah are highly spoken of by the press of that city. A recent number of the Georgian, says: We listened last night with great pleasuro to a lecture of Henry M. Law, Esq., upon Orato ry. It was a finished production, and shewed an ample knowledge nnd study of his subject. Hut in no particular was the effect so charm ing, as in tho beauty of its delivery. Tho inag nitieient voice of the speaker, his easy and graceful gestures, his flowing and finished elo cution, are of that marked character as will enchant tho attention of his audienco when ever ho comes before them. Dr. Wm. J. C. Rogers. Wo find in the last Palatkn Democrat a re port of the trial of Dr. Wm. J. C. Rogers, at Ocala, Florida, for tho murder of his wife. The jury it seems found some palliating cir cumstances connected with the affair; for af ter an abscnco of five hours, they returned with a verdict of not guilty of murder, but guilty of man-slaughter, and doomed him to niue months imprisonment and a fine of SSOO. Rogers, we understand, formerly resided in . Girard, Alabama.— Enquirer. Official Vote of Florida. The vote of Florida was counted at the Capi tol in Tallahassee on the 3d instant. Bucha nan’s majority is 1,525. Arrest at Oallatin. The Nashville, Tennessoo Gazette, of tho 7th instant, says.* A gentleman who arrived here from Gallatin yesterday, informs us that some thirty or thirty-fivo slaves, suspected of insurrectionary designs, linvo boen arrested at that place, and uto now in prison awaiting ju dicial investigation. Since their arrest some of them havo confessed that they were con cerned in the projected revolt. *- Mr. Cobb, of Georgia. A Washington correspondent says: “ How ell Cohb, it is pretty certain now, is to be a member of the Cabinet, and his friends ad dress him as ono of tho Secretaries wherever he is seen.” Judge Wayne. Wearo gratified to learn from the Washing ton Star, that tho report of Judge Wayne’s ill ness has boen exaggerated. He is now in Washington attending to his duties on the bench of tho Court which is now in session. Four negroes havo been hung at Dover Ten nessee, supposed to be implicated in a conspi racy against tho whites. ■ ■ ■ Rrowulow's Whig states that in some places in Tennessee certain Democratic members of tho Methodist Church refuse to attend tho minis trations of certain preachers of that denomina tion, because it is alleged they arc members of the American party. We recon the exception is only confined to Brownlow, who, wo understand is himself a Methodist prcnchor. Tho Atlanta Intelligencer understands that Hon. A. 11. Stephens sent a challenge to B. 11. Hill, Esq., on Saturday last, Hon. Thomas W. Thomas being the bearer. The challenge, tho Intelligencer learns, was declined, buton what particular grounds has not transpired. Among the opponents to the admission of Gen. Whitfield, the delegato from Kansas, ton seat in tho House of Representatives, we soe the nnme of Mr. Solomon G. Haven, the polit ical friend and Into law partner of Mr. Fill mere. The Savannah Republican publishes “tho names of 21 editors in attendance on tho Com mercial Convention as delegates. The Potato Disease. i’he New York Journal of Commerce learns from a dealer in Washington market in that city, that in no previous year has the potato rot been so destructive as during the present season. All varieties of the vegetable are in fected, from whatever direction they come.— Though they may appear fair and perfect on their arrival, evidence of disease is soon ap parent. Even a cargo from Nova Scotia, which arrived a few days ago, bore the same indica tions ; and on all the canal boats, barges, &c., ranged along the piers, the process of separat ing the good and bad may be seen going on. Alter this process has been several times re peated, such as arc diseased are wholly remov ed, but their number is sometimes reduced ful ly one half, before this is accomplished. Heavy losses have resulted. Loads of potatos, par tially decayed, may bo seen daily crossing tho river to Now Jersey, to be fed to hogs. # Commercial Convention. On Tuesday morning, the President of the Convention, in pursuance to the resolution of Mr. Cochran, of Alabama, announced the fol lowing gentlemen as Committee on Business : John Cochran and J. G. Barr, of Alabama. F S. Bartow and John 11. Howard, of Geor git- E. G. W. Hall and Cha3. Ferguson, Os Mary land. John A. Calhoun and 11. W. Gout-din, of S. Carolina. John Mcßae and J. 11. Gibbon, of North Carolina. F. Mallory and W. M. Burwell, of Virginia. W. G. McAdoo and John W. Fleming, of Tennessee. J. B. D. Deßow and A. F. Ncvin, of Louis iana. J. S. Maxwell and W. Mosely, of Florida. 11.- McLeod, of Texas. A. Dudley Mann. The Republican contains the proceedings at length, reported by Mr. Lord of the Baltimore American. They are too long for our limited space. A number of resolutions were introduced, all of which were either disposed of finally, or re ferred to tho Business Committee. A proposition to give aid and comfort to the African Slave Trade project of the Charleston Standard and Gov. Gov. Adams of South Caro lina, met with a signal overthrow, being laid on the table by a very large majority. The Republican says “the first speech of the Convention was made by Gen. Bethuno of Columbus, in which he sot forth the policy of anew political party that is destined to slide off at an early day, from the great body of the Democracy.” The discussion grew out of a resolution introduced by Mr. Peeples, of Geor gia, on tho subject of the establishment of di rect trade with England and the Continent of Europe. Mr. Bethuno said he could not see that the resolution would accomplish anything, as it could not bind tho members of the Convention if it was passed. The object of the Conven tion, as he understood it, was to establish di rect trade ; but that did not depend upon lines of steamships. It would be better for the pro ducer to hire his carrying done, while he made it his business to raise products. Lines of steamships had been established from Charles ton, and within a few weeks or months had been sold to the North at a discount. It was but a loss of capital to attempt to build steam ships, as much so as for the producer to build wagons to carry his cotton to market when railroads would do it cheaper. He referred to the former condition of the South, when she imported her own goods for consumption, in stead of transporting them by the way of New York. He ascribed the change to the trans ferring of the gold and silver obtained here for customs to the city of New York to bo used for the benefit of northern merchants. He believ ed the remedy was to be found in the repeal of the tariff laws, and in direct taxation, when each man would pay according to what lie was worth, for the support of the government, in stead of tho South paying, as she does now, a larger proportion than could justly be asked of her. He reviewed the effect of the tariff upon tho cotten market, showing by statistics that when the tariff was a high one, thecotton mar ket was depressed, and when the tariff was a low one the price was raised. Ho argued that by repealing the tariff, and raising revenue by direct taxation the southern merchant could obtain and sell as cheaply as the northern mer chant, for the foreign manufacturer would bring his goods to southern ports to exchange for southern products, and tho country would be relieved from the support of the 2,800 offi cials now engaged in collecting the revenue at an average annual salary of SOOO each. Con gress would bo more economical of the public money, in appropriation*, as tho rich and influ ential would be averse to taxing themselves. He said that up to 1810, the South was a unit in favor of free trade, or at least alow tariff, but at that time was led to support tho opponent of Van Buren, and swallow the bank, tariff, internal improvements and all, because the State Rights party had taken a grudge against Jackson and Calhoun as his right hand men. He was for the repeal of the tariff and for direct taxation. The lion, 11. T. W. Allston, was on Tuesday last, electod by the Legislature of South Caro lina, Governor. He was elected on the first ballot. County Treasurer. AN ACT Giving the election of County Treasurer of the counties of Taylor, Chattooga, Chatta hoochee, Calhoun, Spauldiug, Rabun, Walk er, Polk, Worth, Fannin, Campbell, Clinch, Jackson, Muscogee, Thomas, Walton, Gor don, Telfair, Catoosa, Terrell, Union and Glynn to the legal voters of said counties. 14.

Sec. IV. (Repeals conflicting laws.) Approvod, March 4th, 1856. Arrival of Coolies at Havana. Dates from Havana to 29th ult., announce that the British bark Ellen Oliver, Capt. Hen derson, had just arrived at that port from Swa toa nnd St. Helena, after a passage of 197 days with 268 Asiatics, for Corn field service, un der eight year contracts. Sixty of thc3o poor creatures died on the passage, aud two after arrival. Bark Henry Miller, Pust, from same port, 147 days, had also arrived, withl3G Asi atics to the same consignees. Six died on the voyage. Slave Trade. The Journal of Commerce states that anoth er slnver sailed from that port with ; n a few days past. She was closely watched, but the officers of the government were unable to de tect anything which would justify them in de taining her. In the estimates of appropriations for the ensuing year, provision is made for* liberal sum to aid in the suppression of this illegal traffic ; and there is good reason to be lieve that the general government is in earnest in its efforts in this direction. From the Milwaukie American, Dee. 3. The Gale Yesterday. The gale yesterday was the most severe of any experienced on the coast this fall. The wind blew a hurricance, aud thickly falling snow piled up in drifts and filled the air, ren dering it impossible to see objects even a short distance off. At the time of going to press, the gale gives no idea of subsiding till our winter sledges and habiliments for cold weather are in full play. We anxiously look for the vessels now •ut in the gale. Among them are propellers with valuable cargoes, and some sailing ves sels. We hear the Churubusco, a brig, is ful ly due but not heard from yet Yesterday morning the schooner Wellnud was discovered at anchor off the new harbor, dismusted, and signals of distress flying. She lay in this condition all day, the sea running so high that it was impossible to reach her ; with the life-boat. We understand the Wcl -1 land is an old vessel and has been dismasted before. * Mr. H. W. Gunnison lias just called in to say that the crow of the Welland were saved after great difficulties, the poor fellows suffer ing from intense cold and snow storm. The brig Algomah, lumber laden, bound in, dragged her anchor and came ashore. She now lies water-logged. The tug Meares, towing in the hull of the Storm King, dismasted during the late gale, run into the Algomah, carried away her stern and sunk. The schooner Emma has been ashore near the Maniton Islands, but the Captain got her off and put her in here to-day. The brig Arabian, belonging to Fitzburg & Littlejohn, of Oswego, which has been ashore up near Mackinaw, was got off, aud started to come here in tow with propeller Ogontz, with pump belonging to the Merchant’s Mutual In surance Company, on board, to free her from water, and when ahout thirty miies off Point Au Sable, she sprang a leak and sunk. Tho circumstances attending this disaster are extremely unhappy aud reprehensible. The propeller Ogontz deserted the Arabian so that the crew had to take to sea by boats, to the number of thirteen, and were picked up by a vessel and taken to Chicago. It is a severe storm and more wrecks may be looked for. The same paper of the 4th instant, says:— During the dreadful storm of yesterday and last night the Lake Shore Distillery, at the foot of Wisconsin street, right on the lake beach, was entirely swept away by the waves. The water first washed .away the dock, and then undermined the celar, until the whole building was carried away. Kellogg & Strong’s warehouse, out on the end of their pier, was also washed away.— Within the last eight years this is the fourth time their warehouse on the end of the pier has been washed away. The loss with the damage to their pier, is about §3,000. Dousman’s pier wa; also damaged to nearly the same extent. This was, undoubtedly, one of the worst storms ever known on the coast. Captains and every body say they never knew a storm to equal it. Wo have the following additional lake disas ter: A brig was towed in here this morning sup posed to be the Ariel. She lays on the bar at the mouth of the river. Her foremast head was gone, also'foremast and main topmast. She looked, as she came in, as if she had 6een some severe trouble. The mailsjfrora Chicago will, undoubtedly, bring intelligence of a large number of wrecks at that port. From the New Haven Journal of Saturday Morning. Schooner Wrecked and Loss or Life.— The severe gale of Wednesday has not been without fearful consequences. The schooner Fanny Crocker, of Dighton, Mass., Captain Alton, was lost on Wednesday night, the 2d inst. She was loaded with copper and coal, and bound to New York. The following par ticulars of the disaster we take from the Pal ladium of last evening. She went on to Sttybrook bar about 11 o’clock on Wednesday night, and after striking three times knocking out her kelston, she ran about a mile and went down. Her crew con sisted of Captain Allen aud son, and five men. The Captain, his son and one seaman swam to the topmast, after she sunk and lashed them selves. They wound the sail about them and remainad in this condition for twenty-four hours, when they were rescued by Captain Crosby, of the schooner Northam, of Saybrook, and landed at that point. They had nearly perished from exhaustion, but hopes are en tertained of the recovery. Four of the sea men, named James Blisserd, John Comford, Isaac Wallace and James Ackery, were lost* These were colored men, and were swept off when the vessel went down, and drowned. The cargo of the vessel was valuable—the copper on board being worth $12,000. From the Rochester Union of Thursday evening. Another Wreck on Lakr Ontario—Brio Beaver Ashore. —The Brig Beaver, bound from Oswego to Hamilton, with a cargo of rail road iron went ashoro yesterday at Braddock’s Point, twelve miles West of the Genesee river. The captain and crew roached the shore in safety, but the vessel lies in a dangerous sit uation, and from what we hear is likely to prove a total wreck. Strange, as it may appear, that is the fifth vessel within five or six years which has been wrecked near Braddrock’s Point, under simi lar circumstances. They were laden with railrood iron which affected the compasses. We have no further particulars in regard to the wreck of the Beaver. The captain says the brig and cargo are insured in an office at Oswego. From the Oswego Times of the 4th instant. The propeller Inkerman, which cleared from Hamilton Thursday night for this port, with wheat, &c., is reported ashore between Hamil ton and Toronto. A despatch from St. Catherines, Thursday evening, says the schooner l’orseverance is on the beach four miles above Oak Orchard. Lost main boom, fore gaff and foresnil, also lost deck load. The schooner Crcvola, which arrived last night with a cargo of wheat from Chicago, pounded inside the East jtier, and sunk in the slip near the steam saw mill. All of her car go is wot. Oswego, Dec. 5.—A heavy gale has been blowing on the lake for several days past. The schooners Live Y'ankee, Frank l’iarce, and Canadian are ashore at Point Credit, about 14 miles west of Toronto. The crew of the latter vessel were seen clinging to the rigging, and attempts were being made to save them. Tho schooner J. G. Beard is ashore near Toronto, and the schooner Montgomery, with a cargo of wheat for this port, is also ashore above King ston. The St. Louis Democrat, of the 2d instant, has advices fi*om Saute Fe to 22d ult. The news, however, is unimportant. The Inditing continued their depredations. The gold dc posi * on the Gila are said to exceed those in the i-.ohest portions of California. A large number of citizens had already left Santa Fe for .lie mines. TELEGRAPHIC.

New York, Dec. 9 —The cotton market is firm. The sales to-day reached 2000 bales. Middling Uplands are selling at 12£. Sterling Exchange is dull and plenty. To the Voters of Columbus- The card of Col. Wilkins demands some no tice. The act of the legislature confers, or pretends to confer upon Col. Jones, Col Banks, Gen. Semmes and others, the power to con struct a Bridge across the Chattahoochee at the city of Columbus, or on the north common of said city*, upon three conditions : First —That said bridge shall be sufficient for the safe passage of wagons and carriages of all kinds. Secondly—That said bridge, when finished, shall be transferred to the said city of Columbus by the said parties, the said city agreeing to charge no more toll for the yearly or casual crossing thereof, than may be charged for crossing the bridge now erect ed, and said city shall bind itself to said parlies to keep up the same in good repair as long as the said lower bridge is kept up; and thirdly that the assent or dissent of the citizens of Colum bus shall first be ascertained in such manner as the City Council may order and prescribe. I think that this act is unjust to a large por tion of the citizens of this city, because by a preceding act of the legislature, the build ing of any bridge, across the river, was pro hibited within three miles of the present bridge. That under the security and pledge of this prohibition, our citizens improved their lots in the lower part of the city, and in the vicinity of the present bridge, with a special reference to the advantages to be derived from that thoroughfare. I think that more than three days notice should have been given by the City Council of the election. The act imposes heavy obligation upon the city, which was not understood by the peo ple at the time of the election. The city is re quired to bind itself to said parties to keep up thfe same in good repair as long as the lower bridge is kept up, thereby forcing the city to make a contract involving thousands of dol lars in the re-construction of the bridge as often as it may be washed away, or burnt up, or otherwise destroyed. Not only this, there is an annual expense of 2,000 or 3,000 dollars, for a bridge keepker, insurance, lights, rej pairs of bridge aud roads to it, which must be raised by extra taxation, annually, upon the very property and persons injured by its erec tion, and this, without their consent. There is another considertion which should have its influence upon the future action of the City Council and the Tax-payers ot Columbus. There is no provision in the act of the Legis lature which compels these gentlemen to pur chase the right of way to the bridge, in Ala, baina. If the city binds itself, in a bond, to these gentlemen to keep up the bridge, will not the city also be required to provide the right of way at ter owu expense, at any cost ? Some may recollect a case of this sort, in reference to the presont bridge, in which the city had to pay ten thousand dollars for the right of way on the Alabama side of the river. 1 think that the bridge question has not been fairly tested, and that the City Council is not bound to receive it, and thereby bind the city to rebuild it as often as it may be destroy ed and subject our property to heavy taxation to keep it up against our cousent, when it is manifest and admitted that it will not bring ono dollar more into tho city treasury. JOHN E. BACON. Columbus, Dec. 11, 1856. TO THE VOTERS OF THE CITY. L NOTICE that, iu a certain portion of the city, there are many individuals laboring to place me in a false position upon what they term the Bridge Question. It is said by some that if lam elected I would favor an ap propriation by the Council toussist in the erection of tho Bridge. 1 now unhesitatingly pronounce it false and in order that tho citizens throughout the city may know my position, 1 now state that I am opposed toCouucil appro priating cue dollar towards building the Bridge, and will vote against it. The Bridge Question is one that has been settled by a Tote of the city, taken according to the law authorising the building of it: nnd if the parties build a good and substantial bridge the Council is bound to receive it; if they fail to build asubstantial bridge the parties building know full well that I would be the last man in Council to vote for its reception. If I am elected I shall endeavor, to the best of my abil ity, to discharge my duties to the interest of tho whole city, and not for the interest of a particular section or clique. F. G.

Subject: ‘■‘The Intellectual and Literarj Pros pects of our country considered in its connection with the importance of sustaining the religious and moral element in the national Literature.” The public gener ally are invited to attend. TO SOUTHERN MERCHANTS. CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. THE whole country is Hooded with Counterfeit ami Imitation Schnapps. The public should be careful to purchase only the genuine article, manufactured ami imported by Udolpho Wolfe, which lias the name of the manufacturer on the 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 Yor k. Prom the New York Mercury. Fraudulent Imitations ok Superior Commodiues, Among the many dishonesties of trade which the mor al sense of the community is called upon to suppress, ve would particularly notice a most pernicious and infamous practice adopted by unscrupulous dealers of imitatiugand counterfeiting the exterior appearance and precautionary labels of popular drugs, medicameuta, 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, te the sore detriment not only of the consumer, but to the character of the man who has expeuded thousauds of dollars in bringing the genuine article into esteem aaJ demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest ot all houarable dealers anil and the trade is as much highway robbery as the violent appropriation of their neighbor’s purse; in fact they are beneath the burgle and highwayman in dignity—for these latter felons in hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dir tinguisliing 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 Sclieiilara 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 1 to im pose upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man wlw perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber? Assuredly he is; for, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring his geuuine 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 stoleu a barrel of his schnapps in bulk. And to this crime he adds a fur ther one of defrauding the community by giving them 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 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 his holding all concer ned up to the contempt of the community thus swindled by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon hy their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe will obtain names, not only of the concoctors of thee counterfeits, but of every man offering them forealo,nd then publish them to the world; for his own reputation aud the 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 buiinn*. tn 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 P” clous pretexts, hold out to the public au inferior article, and endeavor to obtain their patronage ? Pray, what difference Is there, so fur us the honesty of the thing i” concerned, betweed purloining the businoss by which a citizen hopes to make his bread and stenling 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 aud condemned to the penitentiary for dariug iu a surreptatious manner to appease his appetite; but put a respectable looklug coat on his hack and a few dollar* in his pocket, and he may. with impunity, nuy, even with the applause of his fellvws, by knavery, forgery or other infamous means, take the business of an honed man from him, and go unscathed of justice. All this w wrong. Borne years since a gentleman of this city (Uded pho Wolie) introduced to the citizens of the United State* a medicated article of gin, which was highly approved by professional gentlemen as a superior tonic and deobetrir cut. and the knowledge of which he, by-advertisement and otherwise, disseminated throughout the country So soon as tricksters, who pass in the business commie nity as honest men. saw that Mr. Wolfe wns likely to have handsome returns for the time and money which he had expended, they set about forging his labels amt palming off upon the people detestable and poisonous compounds which they have the hardihood to call “BchU” dam Sehnappe.” In some instances they haveguue so far as to put Wolfe’s name to their villainous liquid'- As this horde aro growing hold in their rascalities, it j time the public in town and country were put upon tnei guard. Consumers should be sure that they purchase the genuine article, or else their health may be irri'pers bl.v iujured liy using tbe horrible stuff that unscrupulous men, because they can buy It cheap, will offer as the ge nine article.

He should not permit his modesty to bold w back from making so righteous an expose. AGENTS IN SAVANNAH: John B. Moore A Cos.. A. A. Sollomons A Cos.. A I*"” uaud.M.J. Riley, W. W.
