LAIK4KST CITY CIRC CITATION.
Printer Wanted-
An experienced printer in the Job Depart
ment, is wanted at this office. His habits of
sobriety must be above suspicion.
We are requested by Mr. W. W. Robison,
whose announcement appeared in a ticket in
the Times, yesterday morning, as a candidate
for Alderman in the first Ward, to state that
he is not a candidate, uud does not desire to
be voted for in the election to-day. He is
tbaukful to his friends for this mark of friend
ship, but desires to be excused for the present.

The Sun as a Drummer.
Two days ugo a gentleman enquired of us
if we knew who wanted a good servant girl.
Our reply was, we did not; but toldliim there
was a little paper in town called “The Daily
Sun” that had been pretty lucky on several
occasions in drumming for customers. He
took the hint, put four lines in the Sun, and
to hisastonishment a customer was at. his door
next morning before he had got out of bed,
and took her. lie tells us he had 16 appli
cations before eleven o’clock, and had actual
ly to absent himself from home to get rid of
i lie annoyance. He and three others had
been three weeks industriously hunting a
place for the girl without success. Just think
of it, The Sun jumped seventeen on the first,
effort, and at a cost of only 40 cents.
The Sun visits over three hundred city sub
scribers before breakfastit is then borrow
ed and read by at least 1200 more before 10
o’clock.
What an “ lncelligence office.”
The New York Ledger, the great family
weekly paper, for which the most popular wri
ters in the country contribute, has now at
tained the extraordinary circulation of One
Hundred and Ninety Thousand copies, and
subscriptions are continually pouring in. See
the Ledger’s advertisement in another column.
Wheat Crop in West Tennessee.
The Memphis Bulletin learns from a gentlo
man who lias been traveling extensively
through the surrounding counties that the pros
pects for tho coming wheat crop aro unusually
promising: in fact, were never better at this
season of tho year. It also learns from its in
formant that tliero is a much larger amount of
land cultivation in wheat, and should the yield
of the next crop be anything like what it prom
ises to bo at present, the receipts and exports
from Memphis will be much greater next year
thnn any season heretofore.
Heavy and Large.
A Mr. Thomas McCarter, who died in Boli
ver, Hardeman county, Tenunessee, a few days
ago, reached the enormous weight of five hun
dred and twenty seven pounds. llis coffin
measured three and a-half feet across the top,
twenty inches in depth, and seven feet in
length.
It is said that the House Committee oil For
eign Relations will soon report a bill for the
Fronch spoliations, predicated upon the idea
that tho information communicated from the
Department of State at tho last session re
lieves, in a great measure, the objections rais
ed in the President’s vote, clears the way for
the adoption of . the proposed measure.
A Ripe Strawberry in December,
The Boston Traveler, of Wednesday, says
(hat a strawberry plant was dug up from the
garden of Wra. C. Hubbard, of Newton, Low
er Fall, this morning, which had upou it a ripe
strawberry of tho Hovcy species, unusual size,
it being a little over 8| inches in circumfer
ence. This is the second growth of the season.
There were other blossoms on the plant.
Col. Wood’s Museum.
This collection of wonders opens at Concert
Hall in this City on Monday. Seo advertise
ment in another column. We copy the follow
ing notice from the Savannah Georgian:
EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION.—COL. WOOD'S
Mvmkum.—We dropped in yesterday to Wood’s
gallery—not of portrait, hut of originals. On
entering, we imagined ourselves transformed
at once into spectators of Guliver’i courts of
Lilliput and Brobdinguag, at one and the same
time. A giantess, we can scarcely say how
many feet high, first caught our eye, towering
over the rest in her sublime proprotions ; and
immediately at her side a Lilliputan specimen
of humanity, full grown, and with all the airs
and manners of mauhood, less than three and
a-half feet high, and of fewer pounds in weight
than inches in height. Our attention was next
directed to tho female dwnrft, 35 inches iu
height, and of a certain age—if we may say
so much of a lady—since she has been married
about a dozen of years, and her table is stir
rouuded with—we forget the precise number
—of olive branches. Next our eyes were stnr
tled with the strange phenomenon, a lady
“bearded like the bard,” although in other re
spects really lady-liko and interesting in ap
pearance; with whom is her son, who, through
a similar freak of nature, has acquired the
soubriquet of the Infant Esau. So many aud
such various eccentricities are only seen onca
in a lifetime. Citizens and strangers are con
stantly flocking to see the sights. A large
number of tho delegates have already visited
this wonderful exhibition.
—
Territory of Arizona.
Tho New York Herald contains the following
dispatch from Washington, dated Dec. 7. The
people of that Territory are determined to
lose no time in being represented in Congress:
Mr. A. P. Cook, delegate from the new Ter
ritory of Arizona, formed out of rlie Gadsden
purchase, arrived here to-day. He comes with
his credentials as regularly elected by his peo
ple in convention, aud will ask for recognition
by Congress. He says there are from ten to
fifteen thousand people in the Territory, and
that it will make a State of about the size of
Pennsylvania. It lays south of the line thirty
six thirty. If lam not mistaken, he will find
some difficulty in getting his seat, for if a Ter
ritorial government has to be formed before he
is admitted, it may open a fresh the whole
slavery question, which may lead to protracted
debate. This looks like another bone of con
tention.
Mr. Cook brings some specimens of minerals,
said to be the richest in the world.
Commercial Convention.—Third Day.
The Convention met pursuant to adjourn
ment.
Mr. Lewis of Georgia, presented a series of
resolutions embracing what he considered the
duty of the South and the oVject of the Con
vention. He proposes to style the Convention
a “Southern Reform Convention,” and recom
mends the establishment of agricultural schools
in the States under the patronage of State or
ganizations. Recommends to the Legislature
of each State, to adopt a system of Common
School education, by which every child in the
State may receive a common English education
free, and with this view a poll tax may be as
sessed on every man at a rate that may be
rightful for the poor to bear, and an ad-valorem
tax on all property which now pays a State
tax, the funds arising therefrom to be secure
ly invested, and the interest applied to the
purpose in view.
The resolutions were refered to the Business
Committee.
Mr. Jones, of Georgia, moved to take from
the tablo the resolutions in relation to the re
opening of the African Slave trade, which were
offered yesterday by Mr. Gaulden, of Georgia.
After discussion, in which Messrs. Jones and
Gaulden, of Georgia, Sprutt, of S. C., Mason,
of Ala., Hunter, Gholson, Fauster, Cropper,
Kean and Clemens, of Virginia, Richardson,
of Maryland, and McLeod of Texas, took part,
the matter was left to rest on the table by a
vote of 18 to 09. The vote by States stood as
follows:
In the affirmative—South Carolina 8, Ten
nessee 0, Texas 4—total 18.
In tho negative—Alabama 9, Georgia 10,
Maryland 8, North Carolina 10, Virginia 15,
Tennessee 0, Louisiana 6—total 69.
Mr. Clemsns, of Alabama, from the Commit
tee on Business to which had been referred
resolutions in reference to the construction of
a railroad to the Pacific Ocean, reported that
they did not consider tho same, and had en
trusted him to report the following resolutions
and recommended their adoption:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention, the federal government possesses no
constitutional power to construct a raikftad
to Pacific Ocean.
Resolved, That a railroad ought to be con
structed from the Mississippi river, bj r way of
El Paso, along or near the 32d degree of North
latitude, to the Pacific Ocean ; that this road
should consist of separate and continuous sec
tions ; that it should be incorporated and con
structed under the authority of the State and
Territorial Legislatures; and that tho means
of construction should be derived from indi
vidual corporate State constitutions, together
with such as may be obtained from grants of
public domain for postal, military or any other
service which may b:: lawfully rendered to the
federal government by said Company.
Resolved, That it is hereby recommended to
the southern and southwestern Railroad Com
panies, that in the event any position of the
said road shall remain incomplete or without
authority of construction by responsible par
ties, they shall obtain an act of incorporation,
authorizing them or someone of them to under
take the construction of such incomplete sec
tions, and this Convention hereby invoke for
the enterprise of the construction of said Rail
road, or any section thereof, tlie aid and ap
proval of tlie true citizens of the South, wheth
er in privato life or public station, for the com
pletion of a work upon which dopends greatly
the permanency of the Union, and the defence,
development and independence of the South.
The first resolution was adopted, and the se
cond and third, after some discussion, wero
referred back to the Committee on Business
without instructions.
Professor Morse and Millard Fillmore.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, of the
19th instant, copying and commenting upon a
recent article relativo to the early struggles of
Prof. Morse to briug his telegraphic project
before Congress, states the undoubted fact that
Millard Fillmore was mainly instrumental in
procuring the appropriation by which the Pro
fessor was enabled to test the practicability of
his invention for the transmission of intelli
gence. When Prof Morse was literaliy stand
ing at the door of the Capitol, soliciting the
small boon, (remarks tho Advertiser,) Mr .Fill
more was Chairman of the Committee on Ways
and Means, in the House, and took a lively in
terest in the new invention. After making up
the details of the annual civil appropriation
bill, he proposed an amendment appropriating
$30,000 for the construction of an electric tel
egraph from Washington to Baltimore. A dis
tinguished member of the House violently op
posed the appropriation, and ridiculed the in
vention as a humbug, as little deserving the
fostering care of the Government as animal
magnetism. By the earnest aud able advoca
cy of Mr. Fillmore, who had a better apprecia
tion of the novel and extraordinary machine,
the appropriation was secured and the first step
was taken of that immense circuit which is
destined to encompass the globe, and make all
its inhabitants immediate sharers in each oth
er’s thoughts.
Tho Relative Rank of States.
The votes cast at the Presidential election
have demonstrated that several States have
changed their position in tho order of popula
tion. Illinois, which was less than Indiana
in 1850, now polls a larger vote by some 3500.
The official vote of the two States is as follows:
Indiana. Illinois.
Buchanan 118,672 105,344
Fremont 94,376 96,180
Fillmore 22,386 37,451
Total 235,434 238,975
Allowing one vote to every seveu inhabitants
which is about the proportion in the Western
States we have a population of 1,672,825 for
Illinois and 1,648,038 for Indiana. Beth States
outstrip Virginia, and that State, which was
tlie first in point of population so late as 1810,
the second in 1820, the third in 1830, the fourth
iu 1840 and 1850, is now the sixth. The pre
sent order is as follows: New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Virginia. We
are not sure that Tennessee also may not have
outstripped Virginia by this time, thus reduc
ing her to the seventh place iu the . roll of
States. By 1860, Michigan, Wisconsin, aud
perhaps one or two others will be claiming pre
cedence of the Old Dominion.— fTash. Patriot.
Fatal Shooting.
A most melancholy difficulty occurred at
Madison Court House, in this State, on Mon
day last, between a Mr. Dickson and Messrs.
Morris and Bishop, all citizens of that place,
iu which the two last named gentlemen were
fatally shot. The bloody disaster was the re
sult, ns we are informed, of an old disagree
ment between Dickson and Morris. Mr. Bish
op became iuvolved as the friend of his broth
er-in-law, Mr. Morris.— Tallahassee Floridian

Pensacola and Georgia Rail Road.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad company,
was held in this city, on Wednesday, the 3d
instant.
The report of the lion. E. C. Cabell, Presi
dent of the Board of Directors, was eminently
interesting, and we believe, satisfactory to all
present. It exhibits without the semblance
of a doubt, that the great work is progressing,
at various points on the line of way, with the
most flattering indications of complete success;
there being now, as satisfactorily shown, no
obstacle in the way to impair the practicabili
ty of the enterprise. A sufficient amount of
iron has been obtained through the successful
negotiations of the President, (who has just
returned from New York,) to course twenty
miles of the grading when completed, and will
be en route for its destination in a very short
time.
The President and Directors have been quite
fortunate also, in procuring the services of a
skilful engineer, in the person of Mr. Garnett,
having been without such valuable aid for sev
eral months past, and therefore, from this
time forward, a decided improvement may bo
expected in arriving at a speedy consummation
of the larger portion, if not the entire work.
Three hundred and seventy hands are actively
employed on so much of the track as is em
braced within the counties of Leon, Jefferson
and Madison, and this number will be consid
erably increased in the ensuing month of Jan
uary.
We were taken somewhat by surprise, on
learning that Florida bonds, guaranteed by tho
Internal Improvement Fund of the State, rank
in the first class of American securities,
with the money changers of New York ; and
the announcement of this important fact, hap
pily, removes every apprehension felt, concern
ing the prompt acquirement of all the materi
als necessary for the equipment of the road.
The greatly improved aspect of matters, con
nected with our Railroad system, has inspired
its leading projectors with new hopes and in
creased confidence, in the entire feasibility of
their magnificent undertaking. Let them
press forward, now the work has been com
menced, in the noble effort to advance the com
mercial prosperity and political importance of
our State. — Tallahassee Floridian 6 th inst.
Editors.
The N. H. Telegraph is of the opinion that
an editor who cannot stop right in the midst
of one of the finest trains of thought that he
is putting upon paper, to the minute dimen
sions of a huge pumpkin, or write an adver
tisement of a dog lost, or euter the name"of a
new subscriber, or take pay for an old one,—
to receive a cowhiding lor something he has
not said. —and after all, to resume “the thread
of his discourse,” and carry out the idea in its
original force and beauty, is next to no editor
at all.
A deep mystery has shrouded the treaty
said to have been recently concluded with
Great Britniu, by Mr. Dallas on the part of the
United States. Nothing about it, further than
the fact of its conclusion, has been permitted
to transpire. It is generally believed, howev
er, to be supplemental to the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty of 1850, and as such, concerns the Cen
tral American States.
Privateering.
Accompanying the President’s message is a
letter from the Russian Charge d’Affaires at
Washington, in which he says: “ His Majesty,
the Emperor, accepts for his part, tlie condi
tions under which the United States consent
to the abolition of privateering, viz; “that
the private property of the subjects and citi
zens of the contracting parties shall, in timos
of war, be respected by their respective naval
forces, as well as by those of all the powers
may join in this declaration.”

Miss Ilardy's figure is not erect. Like too many tall peo

the effect of making her look shorter than she is. Her
complexion is fair, her eyes blue, aud the very modest
and mild expression of her countenance is said to be a
true index of her character.

Fraudulent Imitations of Superior Commodities,
Among the many dishonesties of trade which the mor
al sense of the community is culled upon to suppress, we
would particularly notice a most pernicious aud iufiiuioiu
practice adopted by unscrupulous dealers of imitating mid
counterfeiting tho exterior appearance and precautionary
labels of popular drugs, medicameuta, aud other articles
of personal consumption, aud thus, by seizing upou tlie
well acquired reputation of art enterprising trader, pal
ming oil most destructive and worthless compound., to
the sore detriment not ouly of the consumer, hut to tbs
character of the man who has expended thousand, ol
dollars iu bringing the genuine article into esteem and
demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest of all
houarable dealers anil traders, aud tlie trade is as tiiucli
highway robbery as the violent appropriation of their
neighbor’s purse; in fact they are beneath the I.urglar
and highwayman indignity—for these latter felons a
hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dis
tinguishing tlie mercantile assassin who stabs in the
dark. And ought they not be rewarded with a punish
ment commensurate with the cowardice of their crime!
W r e 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 technics! avoid
ance of the law against counterfeiting; the bottles were
very similar, and every thing -carefully prepared to im
pose upou a careless purchaser. Now is uot the man wl
perpetrated this fraud, a felou a robber! Assuredly lie
is; for, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring
his genuine imported schnapps into popular demand,
that demand may be justly considered a part of hi. cap
ital in trade, and a fellow stealing a part of his repots
tion is as much of a thief as if lie had stolen a barrel us
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 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 by
their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe
will obtain names, not only of the coueoctors of these
counterfeits, hut of every man offering them for sale,ami
then publish them to the world; for his own reputstioo
and the health of the community demand that all parties
should be nailed to the pillory of popular execration.

AN INFAMOUS BUSINESS.
When an enterprising man strikes out anew InuineM,
to the establishment of which he gives his industry, time,
talents and pecuniary means, can anythiugbe mure ecu
teinptible than to have another steal in, and, under spe
cious pretexts, hold out to the public au inferior article,
and endeavor to obtain their patronage I Pray, what
difference is there, so far as the honesty of the tiling “
concerned, betweed purloining the business by whirl* “
citizen hopes to make his bread and stealing the bresd
itself? A common thief, if he takes without leave, how
ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker’s shop, is appre
bended aud condemned to the penitentiary for daring in
a surreptatious manner to appease his appetite; but P”
a respectable looking coat on his back and a few dollars
in liia pocket, uud he may, with impunity, nay,
with tlie applause of his fellows, by knavery, forgery or
other infamous means, take the business of au honest
man from him, and go unscathed of justice. All this n
wrong. Some years since a gentleman of this city (l “ u, ‘
plio Wolle) introduced to the citizens us the United Stst”
a medicated article of gin, which w as highly approved if
professional gentlemen as a superior tonic ami deuMni

and otherwise, disseminated throughout the country"”
So soon as tricksters, who puss in the business coniiuu
nity as honest men, saw that Mr. Wolfe was likely 0
have handsome returns for the time and money llU !
he had expended, they set about forging his label*
palming off upon the people detestable and poison o
compounds which they have the hurdihood to call ‘'B cll e
dam Sshnupps.” in some instances they have gone
far as to put Wolfe's name to their villainous 1
