Whereas, the present social interests of the Southern States aro in iminent danger from the practical workings of Northern fanaticism, which recent ahd authentic reports lead us to believe are in active operation in our very midst; it behooves us to watch with Argus oye every fusion or publication affording ground for the slightest suspicion; wherefore, we, the undersigned citizens of the City of Columbus and vicinity, earnestly solicit the attendance of all the citizens at a meeting to be held at Temperance Hall, on Monday night, for the purpose of organizing somo system of concerted action in regard to the mutters above mentioned: B. A. Thornton, L. D. Johnson, J. C. Cook, J. R. Jones, A. G. Redd, P. J. Sennnes, R. S. Hardaway, John E. Bacon, John Woolfolk, Thos. Chaffin, Sr., D. L. Booher, R. J. Moses, John E. Davis, John D. Carter. John McGough. The Soil of the South for December is on our table. It is filled with useful and interest ing matter to the Farmer and Planter. With this number, it ceasos to be issued in this city. The subscription has been trans ferred to Dr. Cloud, of Montgomery, and the work will, in the future, be issued in connec tion with the American Cottou Planter, under the title of the “American Cotton Plnnter and Soil of the South,” in that city. Collision on the Manchester Railroad. The Constitutionalist is informed indebted to a passenger for an account of the collision of the passenger daily trains, on Tuesday last, on the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad- The accident occurred at the Poe Dee Curve, aud “all the coaches were driven one into the other. The baggage car of the Wilmington train contained some twenty odd negroes, and it is surprising that no person was seriously hurt—the engineers aud firomeu escaped by jumping from their trains”—the crash is repre sented to have been awful. Both trains were behind time, and there was no point on the road where any serious damage could have oc curred, except at the I’eo Dee Curve. “Ion,” the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writes that “the troubles in Kansas are at an end, and the principle of non-intervon tiou upon which the Kausas-Nebraska act was based may now be finally carried out. If, on both sides, that principle should be accepted, it wilt settle the sectional question; for in the late Senate debate, the republicans disclaimed any purposo of interference with slavery in the States, while, on the other|sidc, any wish or intention to legislate slavery into auy new territory is disavowed.” The Paris Patrice, in reference to the elec tion of Mr. Buchanan, says: “The London Times contains a letter from an American in London, writton in anticipation of the result of our Presidential election, aud presenting a cu riously accurate prediction of the issue. The writer, who signs himself a Pennsylvanian, ex presses the fullest confidence that all the Southern States, with the exception of Mary land—Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana, will cast their votes for Buchanan. The rosult shows the remarkable accuracy of the predic tion. These are precisely the votes by which Mr. Buchanan has been elected.” It appears from the foregoing that some of the citizens of our country in Europe, were much better posted than some on this side of the water, who regarded tho election of Mr. Buchanan as doubtful. Whitfield Admitted. On Tuesday last, the House of Representa tives reconsidered their former vote, by a ma jority of four, and admitted to a seat as a Del egate from Kansas. The receipts into the State Treasury of Penn sylvania, during the year endiug the 30th ult. amounted to $6,662,(29, and the expenditures to $5,877,142, leaving a balanco of $1,265,- 1 95. For the Daily Sun “For God’s Bake Quit It!” Mr. Editor : Never, never can time eradicate from my memory the impression made by a fair friend when, as we were walking together from God’s Sanctuary on Sabbath last; she said with mild, though firm reproach, “ For God’s sake quit it 1” meaning the damuiug vico of “strong drink” and those hell-born sinks of iniquity which vitiate, and irredeemably ruin so many young men of our city, for whom Na ture designed a better fate, aud over whose folly, if there he tears in Heaven, Angels look down and weep. From the (lays of my child hood innocence to more contemplative years of manhood, 1 was a firm and zealous votary of morality and sobriety, never dreaming the Rosy God would ever usurp my mental throne und make me the victim of Bachanalian insan ity ; but alas! I knew not my impotcncy of resolution to resist the charmer’s facination; days of leisure, a predisposition to merriment, and above all, evil associations, induced me to drink “the social glass,” aud the vortex of ruin opened its yawning mouth to engulf me. 1 saw, reflected from its dark and hellish depths, my own disgrace and self-immolation—l paus ed—resolved to avert my awful and threaten ing fate! I stood long in invincible defiance against the tempter’s power; the lowering clouds of menacing destruction banished; the frowns of friends were supplanted by smiles of encouragement and recognition; the sunshine of hope and happiness lit up the darkened chamber of a miserable soul and 1 rejoiced in my restoration to the confidence of my friends and to respectability ! Strange fatuity! Friends (?) whoso kind ness of intention I doubted not, but whose in fluence was baneful, smiled and talked away the pillars of my resolution and I sined again, again, again! A sense of shame and a rapid depreciation of worth in that circle in which 1 moved, with a far valuation with my friends, obscured the boacon that once guided me, and 1 gavo up all for lost, lost, lost! it was only a few days af ter one of those drunken orgies in which 1, with others, acted, the part of boisterous and egotistic fools, infuriated and reckless despera does that rumor told my friend of our dis graceful tragedy, and, ou the occasion alluded to in my introduction, she said, “For God’s sake quit it!” and she saved me! Yes ! Mr. Editor, for her sake, and the reverance I should feel for the Great Author of my being —my all, and my own welfare, 1 will quit it! I never was in the full acceptation of the term, a drunkard, but my cliagrine is none the less chastening for having been what the World culls a moderate drinker; but we all know the danger even to that class of drinkers, the floods of tears of mothers, wives and sisters, over such, are emblematic of the pure element they would have them drink ! Let tho voice of neglected women and children say, “beware!” Now, Mr. Editor, the main object of this de sultory essay, is an appeal to the Ladies:— Ladies, I have been admonished, invain many times by my most influential male friends to drink the “ water of Styx” no more, but when a pure minded, philanthropic and disinterest ed lady said, “ For God’s sake quit it!” I felt a herculean strength of determination to do so! You, ladies, too, can save many a soul from that end, which causes you so many tears and groans of montal agony. I give you credit for too much good sense for me to devise the ways and means to consummate this greatand noble end ; if you can do no more, say as my friend said, “For God’s sake quit it!” Oh! that woman know her mighty influence over the Lords of Creation, und would exert it in the the reformation of their bad habits! what a different world we would have. No man is invincible to woman’s power if she exert it pro perly. “A Sufferer” in a recent No. of The Sun, indited a sensible article upon this very subject, and is worthy the perusal and adop tion of every lady—unmarried ladies especial ly—hunt it up and live by it, and you will shed fewer tears than you otherwise would. Iu conclusion, 1 will venture to say, good byo Bachus, I revolt, can’t serve you any long er, old fellow ! To my jovial friends about Co lumbus, I would say, I love you boys, for many noble traits ; I shall always meet you with a smile of friendship and a hearty shake by the paw. but I’ve “kissed Billy Patterson” with you the last time, aud sincerely hope I shall soon kiss a more worthy object—a lovely wife—ahem! Again, farewell; boys 1 shall soon emigrate far, far away, but may your last days be your best and happiest, is the sincere wish of SIMON Columbus, Ga., Dec. 11.1856. Preliminary Survey. IV e are pleased to learn that a competent and experienced Engineer, E. M’Neil, Eq., of Pennsylvania has been in this city, several days, making arrangements for immediate sur vey of the route fora Railroad between Macon and Brunswick, in accordance with a charter obtained at the last session of the Georgia Le gislature. This enterprize is under the charge of Major Elam Alexander, of this city, whose extensive experience in llailrond matters, sound judgment and energy of character will bo assurance sufficient of its success, and in spire tho necessary confidence in the under taking, in tho public mind. To meet the ex penses of the survey, Brunswick City contri butes §1,000; Macon corporation §I,OOO, und the balance needed will easily be raised by private subscription. We understand that two routes will be sur veyed, one enst and the other west of tho Oo tnulgee River, with a view to determine the most oligible one in every respect. We con gratulate our people on tho bright prospect be fore them in the early completion of another and better outlet to the sea-board, and inlet from it. Our city Council deserve credit for the aid extended, and we are satisfied that our citizens will not only heartily endorse their ac tion, but will back it, at the proper time, with a quarter million subscription to the Road it self. At least, they ought to do this, if they consult their own and the best interests of Macon —Macon Citizen. The land distance from Knoxville to Clinton Tenn., is twenty miles and by the river one hundred and ninety-two miles. So says the Knoxville Register, and if it tells a straight story, his subject, the river, is a very crooked one. Hogs. The Augusta Constitutionalist learns that there are large droves of hogs in the upper portions of Georgia and South Carolina, and thousands of hogs on the railroad trains, in search of that peace where pork commands the highest price. Columbus and her Business Men. Our thriving city on the east is as full of business as a “town of joy,” factories, ho tels (Mrs. Barrow’s particularly,) shops and streets. Everything is moving with a spring and jump. The men do not measure their steps and stop for every novelty, but drive head und neck into business. There is one singular fact about the Columbus people which is too prominent to escape remark—they are the same plain, polite common-sense people they were twenty years ago. Their wealth lias made no inroads upon tho agreeableuess of their social interchange, nor drawn lines of distinction between the virtuous and good.— Their highest standard of position is that of personal honor. There is no fa .or bought by outward paraphernalia. They look deeper into tiie man for his worth than the mere tin sel of massive gold trappings and well set clothes. We will venture to assert, there is not another place in the south witli the same number of population, iu which a country-man in copperas and brogaus and wool hat, can feel so free and easy as in Columbus. Even “Old Dillwoi tli” with flat Quaker hat and shad skirted coat might make his debut without be iug choked by the set rules of fashionable con ventionalism. In a word, to give the fullest scope to our idea—every body is at home in Columbus, We annex a directory for the bene fit of our Columbus advertisers. —Auburn Ga vette. The Norfolk papers state that a thorough trial of the engines and boilers of the steam frigate Roanoke has been made. The ship was taken from the dry dock on Friday last, and is represented as in every way a, fitting associate for the other six new scrow frigates, of which she is not the least in point of size. Her boilers are those patented by the Engineer in-Chief of the Navy, which are said to sur pass in many respects all others in use. A Shark as is a Shark* The New Orleans Ticayune tells the follow inti : A few days since the captain of a ship at anchor outside the Pass threw overboard a shark hook, baited, which was speedily swal lowed by a shark of the spotted kind. The shark, which was got on board with much dif ficulty, measured 17 feet 11 inches long, nine feet in circumference, and his liver exactly filled a beef barrel! He had seven rows of teeth, and in his paunch was the body of a man, partly decomposed. His jaw bone was taken to the city, and was found to be large enough to take in a sugar barrel. Col. Henry W. Laird. We take pleasure in stating that the diffi culty alluded to by us a few days since, in which this gentleman was unintentionally mis represented in one particular, was u'ot so seri ous as stated by our informant. We now learn that no homicide was committed, and further, that the prosecution has been dismissed.— Mont. Mail. Buchanan’s official majurity in Kentucky as shown by the vote for the highest elector, is 6,118, and would have becu 995 more if nine counties had not disfranchised themselves, three by failing to send the returns in time, and six by informality. ♦ It is announced that subscriptions exceeding £50,000 had been readily procured in Liver pool alone for the stock of the Ocean Tele graphic Company, through the very satisfacto ry assurances afforded by the late experiments of Prof. Morse, and the exertions of Messrs. Field, Brett, and others interested. The British mail steamer City of Philadel phia, of the Philadelphia line, which sailed from Philadelphia for Liverpool on the 26th of October, not having been heard from, some anxiety has been expressed in regard to her safety. Being a stanch vessel, a confident hope is entertained that she is safo. She is now twenty-five days out. A “tough” subscriber to a country’paper was struck from its mail list because he would’nt pay up. The delinquent’s wife in sisted wrathfully that “ she knew what was newspaper law—that she did—the proprietor was bound to send the paper until all arrear ages were paid!” The Boston Post say’s the following is said to be a true copy of a shoemaker's bill, received by a gentleman in a neighboring town, whose family consists of four or five daughters : Mr. to J. S. Dr. To soling Miss Mary ....75 cts. To bindingand closing Mis Ellen 13 “ To stamping and welting Miss Susan...2s “ To putting a few stitches in Miss Jane.. 6 “ The London Times has devoted several edi torials to the election of Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency, the intelligence of which event reached Englcnd by the Arabia, on her last trip out. Naturallj’, tho Times is dissatisfied with the result, but promises to allow no ob jections it has hitherto entertained to Mr. 8., to prevent it from dealing with respect and candor with his acts, as Chief Magistrate of the United States. Physical Aspect of Man. An examination of 20,000 infants, at the Maternite in Paris give for the weight of the new-born 6) lbs.; tho same mean value obtain for the city of Brussels. For about a week after birth, this weight undergoes an actual diminution, owing to the tissue destructions which issue through the establishment of re spiration, and which fur a time exceeds the gain from nutrition. For the same age, the male infant is heavier than the female; but this difference gradually dimishes, and at twelve years their weight is sensibly the same. Three years later, at the period of puberty, the weight is one half of what it is finally to be, when full development is revealed. The maximum weight eventunlly attained, is a little more than 20 times that at birth, this holding good for both sexes; but since the new-born female weighs less than the standard and the new-born male more, the weight of the adult ninlc is 137 lbs , and of the adult fe male 121 lbs. The main weight of a man, ir respective of his period of life, is about 107 lbs., and of woman, nearly 94 lbs. The mean weight of a human being, without reference either to sex or age, is about 90 lbs. M. Quotlet, to whom we are indebted for the above statistics, as the result of his research es, states that communities seem to be under the influence of unchanged laws, as much as individuals. “In communities, man commits the same number of murders each year, and does it with the same weapons. VVe might enumerate, beforehand, how many individuals will imbue their hand in the blood of their kind, how many will forge, how many poison, very neatly as we enumerate, beforehand, how many births and deaths will take place.” TELEGRAPHIC. Telegraphed to the Daily Bun. From New Orleans Nf.w Orleans, Dec. 10. There was a fair demand for cotton to-day, and 5,500 bales were sold. Market stiff at 11£ to 12c. for Middlings. Freights—Cotton to Liverpool nineteen thir ty-seconds. Exchange—Sterling 8 premium ; New Y'ork £ discount. Groceries —Pork §17.50 per barrel and de mand tending upward ; Flour dull and tending down.

The Consul General of Mexico, Com. Rey baud residing at New Orleans, has received, says the Picayune, highly important intelli gence from Northern Mexico, to the effect that the insurrectionary movement in New Leon is at an end, this result having been happily ac complished by a treaty entered into between Vidaurri and Gen. Landa, by which the former acknowledges the authority of the Supreme Government, and yields allegiance to it on be half of himself and his followers. Os course the administration of Comonfort will be mate rially strengthened by this new and unexpect ed course of events. Pilgrims in England. It is stated that the Rev. John WAddington, minister of the “Memorial Church,” lately founded in England, proposes to visit the towu3 from which the first settlers emigrated to New England, and having collected all the informa tion there remaining of them or their descen dants, to cross the Atlantic and visit the towns of New England named by them from their old homes, and introduce the widely separated families to each other, by the medium of their several histories. It will be a labor of affect ing interest to numbers on both sides of the Atlantic. —♦ Fatal Afiray at Vienna. We understand that a recounter took place at Vienna, on Thursday last, between Mr. Samuel Dawson, of Thompson, and a son of Mr. Moungcr, of Dooly, growing out of the public posting of Mr. Mounger, sen., by Thos. H. Dawson, for alleged insult to the family of the latter. Mr. Samuel Dawson, was posting the handbills for his brother, when Moungcr, jr., assailed him with a double barrelled shot gun, and inflicted a mortal wound, Dawson re turned the fire, it is said, with supposed fatal effect. There are conflicting statements as to the transaction and the parties engaged, but the above is the substance of our information, at the time of this writing, December 11th.— Macon Citizen. Mrs. Mary E. Carter, who died a sow days since, in Albemarle county, Vn., liberated a slave woman, 32 years of age, and left her §2OO per annum as a support. The woman, having to go North if she accepts her liberty, positively declined, and preferred remaining a slave. Among the sums to be appropriated for 1858, according to the estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury, are §IOO,OOO for Fort Calhoun, Hampton Roads, Va.; §34,970 for Harper’s Ferry; §26,000 for Fort Pulaski, Ga.! §IOO,- 000 for Fort Sumter, S. C., and 515,000 for repairs to Fort Pickens, Florida. The disasters to steamers this year on the lakes, rivers and oceans show a loss of lifo of four hundred and thirty-three persons. It is stated that Mr. Hamlin will resign his seat in the United States Senate on the Ist of January, to assume the duties of Governor of Maine. Sir Edward Lyttou Bulwer has been elected lord-rector of the Glasgow University by a large majority over Lord Stanley. Col. Lane, as wo learn from the western pa pers, has again started for Kausas, accom panied by a party of emigrants. Two millions four hundred and sixty thous and three hundred and sixty dollars, is esti mated as the increased assessment on property in New Orleans this year more than last.. To tal amount last year §24,253,380, this $26,- 722,680. William H. Hurlbut, a native of Charleston, S. C., but residing in New Y’ork, says the New Y’ork Post, is the author of the late bitter ar ticle in the Edinburg Review, opposing slave ry. Twenty-six sen-going vessels had been re ported as totally lost during tho past month of November, involving _a loss of §1,275,800. Value of vessels, §427,000; cargoes, §948,- 800. But one life was reported lost—a sea man. The Loudon Christian Times, of a late date, says that, after all the boasting, the penalty of a Christian profession iu Turkey is death! \ r et tho Rev. Mr. Thompson, one of the edi tors of Mr. Beecher’s Independent, tells his people that the Gospel is freer to-day in Tur key than in Virginia. The Gonzales (Texas) Enquirer says that the cotton crop of that county is very short owing to the severe drouth. The planters have finished picking, and those who have got through ginning, are breaking up the land for another year. There seems to be uo abatement of thejln dian troubles on the Texnn frontier, but on the contrary the depredations of these savages seems to bo on the increase, both as regards frequency of occurrence and boldness and brutality of the execution of their crimes. A letter to the Galveston News from Fredericks burg, under date of November 17th, given an account of outrages committed by the Indians in tlint section of country, such, we a seldom hear of. It is said that by the first of March the snorting of the iron horse will scare the deer on Lavaca prairie. COMMERCIAL DAILY SUN OFFICE Columbus, Dec.
