COLUMBUS: Tundajr Morning, Dec. 1(, 1856. LAHUKST CITY CIBCVLATION. . Printer Wanted. An experienced printer in the Job Depart* ment, is wanted at thia office. Hie habit* of sobriety must be above suspicion. The Commercial Convention adjourned last Friday night. We will publish the conclusions of the Committee to whom all matters present ed were submitted, when they reach us. The Convention adjourned to meet again nt Knox ville, Tennessee, on the 3d Monday in August 1857. Macon Municipal Election. The election in Macon on Saturday last for Mayor and City Council resulted in the suc cestTof the entire Democratic ticket. Abram Adams, Esq. was elected Mayor by a majority of 109. The smallest majority for Aldermen, was 42. Freeman, (K. N.)old Treasurer, was beaten by Curd, Buchanan Whig, 151 votes. Auld Scotia in Macon. Monday, the Ist December, being the Second Auniversary of St. Andrews Society, of Ma con, Qeorgia, the members assembled, in the evening, at Isaac’s Ilall, and proceeded to the election of officers for the ensuing year. The following gentlemen were declared unanimously elected: M. S. Thornton, M. D., President; Alexan der Melrose, Esq., Vice President; Robert Smith, Jr., Secretary; Andrew Paterson, Trea surer. George Smith, David Ross and Wm. C. Wilson, Directors. After disposing of the business of the Society they sat down to a very sumptuous supper, served up in Isaac’s best style. As soon as the cloth was removed, the punch bowls were charged, as Scotsmen only can ckargo them, when a number of Regular Toasts were given from the chair, and several songs adapted to the occasion, were chanted in genuine Scotch style. , The Dandridge Bank. In speaking of a report, said by the Knox ville Register to be in circulation in Knoxville, that a run had been made on the Dandridgde (Tenn.) Bank, the Dandridge Statesman says it is authorized by the President and Cashier of the Bank of Dandridge, to say that in the past twelve months they have not had occasion to pay out, on an average monthly, in specie, for the redemption of their notes, not more than five hundred dollars, nor at any one time over six hundrod dollars. Trial of John Connor. The Apalachicola Advertiser of the 10th says the trial of John Connor, indict ed in Calhoun county, Florida, for murder, and removed to Franklin county, was commenc ed in that place on the 3d, and occupied two days in the examination of witnesses and ar gument of counsel. The jury failed to agree —boing equally divided—and were discharged. The Advertiser snys the prisoner will again be put on his trial at this term of the court. This case was tried before his Honor Judge Finley at the Spring term of 185 C of Calhoun Circuit Court, and the jury there not being able to agree, by consent of counsel, were dis charged. At the last term of the Calhoun Court the prisoner’s counsel moved for his dis charge, on the ground that the discharge of the jury was equivalent to an acquittal. The Court however overruled the motion, which we understand was excepted to by counsel, and it appeariug that a jury could not be had in that county, the Court moved the trial to this place. Negro Insurrection in Tennessee. The Atlanta Examiner says a gentlemen in that ploce who has a sister residing in Sumter county, Tennessee, has received a letter from her confirming the reports of a projected ne gro insurrection in that vicinity. The prime mover in it is said to bo an old negro woman who exercises extraordinary powers over the negroes of the vicinity. About forty are now in jail, and some five hundred employed in the Iron Works in the same vicinity are, in irons. Such is the statement from a responsible and reliable source. The Examiner further states that a very un pleasant excitement prevails in Atlanta, pro duced by the reported conduct of bad white men and negroes, in that place, and counsels vigilance on the part of tho city authorities and citizens. The dispatch published in the Sun on Fri day morning to the eflfeot that an insurrection among the negroes had been attempted in York District, South Carolina, appears to incorrect. The locality was Columbia, Tonnessee. The error was probably made by the pres* at Montgomery, in writing out the dispatch. ♦ Circulars by Mail. We are requested (says the Washington Union) to call attention to the following regu lation of the Post Office Department, viz : •• The law, fixing the penalty for violation at fifty dollars, provides ‘that no postmastor or assistant postmaster shall act as agent for lot tery offices, or under any color of purchase, or otherwise, vend lottery tickets; ’ and that ‘no postmaster shall receive free of postage or frank lottery schemes, circulars, or tickets.’ Therefore, all such lottery schemes, circulars, or tickets addressed either to a postmaster or Msistant postmaster, must hereafter be exclu ded from the mail, together with all other transient matter of this kind addressed simply to an office, or ‘box’ in an office, and not to any individual.” We understand there is much complaint that great numbers of circulars, generally unpaid, and in many instances of a most offensive char acter are forced upon individuals by being ad dressed to the number of the “box” or boxes they may happen to hold in any post office; and that it is the order of the Postmaster General to send all matter thus addressed (if it finds its way into the mails) to the dead let ter office. Rev. Mr. Lincoln, pastor of the Congrega tional Society in Falmouth, Massachusetts, is supposed to be the oldest living graduate of Harvard College. He is nearly a century old. His church was built during his ministry sixty years ago. Bull Creek Bridge- Mr. Editor: —Two successive Grand Juries have presented the bridges about and across Bull Creek, on the Lumpkin Road, as being in a dangerous condition, and yet no step has . been taken to put them in order. Unless something is done and that speedily, the county of Muscogee will be muloed in heavy damages for some accident that must inevitably occur, and it will be fortunate, if the loss of life is not involved in the disaster. Bull Creek Bridge is entirely unsafe, and requires rebuiling. Tho Bridgo Northwest of tho main Bridge, is al most entirely underminded; it was put up tem porarily about twelve months since, and is now almost ah insecure as the one which it replac ed. The Bridge East of Bull Greek is a frail affair which will at no distant day yield to some heavy load, and precipitate some one’s wagon, mules, driver and cotton into the abyss below. When this happens, the county will be sued, and as full notice has been given of the condi tion of these bridges, the county will be with out a shadow of defence. Will you be good enough to bring this mat ter before the proper authorities by inserting this article in your paper for a TRAVELER. ■ ♦- Free Suffrage in North Carolina. The North Carolina Legislature have passed an act repealing that cluusein the Constitution of the State, making a property qualification to voters in the election of State Senators. The act submits the change to the people at the general election in August next. The Wilmington Journal thinks there is no doubt of its ratification. Bogs at Atlanta. The Examiner of Friday says there is an abundant supply of Hogs in Atlanta, and that largo droves have passed through, during the present week, one day of which fifty-two cars, averaging seventy-five hogs to tho car, came dow tho State Road. There have been other arrivals since then. The Mobile Tribune says an intelligent plan ter of Sumter county, Ala., estimates his crop of cotton at 25 per cent more than he did in August last, and thinks that the yield to other planters in the county will be about the same estimate. Boat Building. A Mobilian, now in New Albany, Indiana, superintending the building of anew boat for the Alabuina trade, thus writes to a friend in Mobile: “ 1 wish some enterprising company would establish a yard for building boats in the south, and offer inducements as good as here, tosteam boat owners to build their boats'at home. I estimated the amount of money left here by Mobilians during the year 185(1, to be about $250,000 for the building and fitting out boats for the Mobile trade ; independent of tho mo ney paid for board, clothes and other contin gent expenses of the southerners staying here superintending the building of the boats. This is a large sum of money to be taken from Mo bile and appropriated in a northern state.” We can inform the writer, that something else is nocessary other than the establishing of yards. Orders are wanted to fill. There is a boat building at our wharf whose model and timbers will compare with those of any yard in the Union. Her builder is ready to fill orders for others. If any doubt what we say, let them make a flying visit to Colum bus and examine the Wave, now sitting on the water at our wharf undergoing completion in her cabin arrangements. Church Difficulty. A difficulty has occurred in the Methodist Church at Fincastle, Va., over the question of “ Church North” and “Church South.” The Salem Register gives the following account of tho affair; It seems that a short time back the number of Trustees of tho Church property in Fin caßtle had become deficient, and on application to the court for tho appointment of new trus tees, a contention arose as to whether the new appointees should be favorable to the Virginia Conference (Church South) or the Baltimore Conference (Church North). The property was originally held by the Baltimore Confer ence, or at least was controlled by the preach ers of that Conference, and an attempt to ap point new trustees favorable to the Churoh South was met by a powerful resistance by those favorable to the Baltimore Conference. The court decided in favor of appointing trus tees favorable to the Baltimore Conference. It was not considered a question of the right of property, but simply one of privilerge of ap pointing trustees. A question involving the right of property might have resulted differ ently. We understand the difficulty has result ed in producing great confusion and distraction in the Methodist congregation. Much the larger portion, wo understand, hold with the Church South, and the appointment of the new trustees will not be calculated to heal the dissuusions. Such difficulties are much to be deplored. From Washington- Correspondence of the Charleston Standard. Washington, Dec. 9.—Both Houses of Con gress were engaged yesterday in an exciting debate on the President’s Message, and, as Gen. Rusk says, “things are beginning to as sume a tangible shape.” Judge Butler parti cipated in the debate, and feeling ran high over both Houses and through all parties. In the Senate, Mr. Bigler lead off with a prepared speech, in which he defended the De mocracy of tho North, and particularly of Penn sylvania, from tho charge of having presented false issues in the late Presidential canvass. Wade, of Ohio, (abolition) and W’ilson, of Mas sachusetts, (ditto) had charged that Northern Democrats had held out to the people “Bu chanan, Brcekouridge, and free Kansas.” Mr. Wade said he was present at a Democratic meeting, and saw banners thus inscribed.— Mr. Bigler said in reply that the presence of the Senator from Ohio, at a Democratic meet ing, was calculated to alarm his Southern Democratic friends much more than all the “ Free Kansas” banners which could havo been hung out. (Laughter.) Mr. W’ade called on Mr. Bigler for Me. Bu chanan’s views on the Kansas question—and Mr. Bigler promptly responded that they were the views of the Cincinnati platform, to let the citizens attend to their own domestio policy without interference on the part of Congress. If Mr. Buchanan were a citizen of Kansas he would probably vote against the introduction of slavery. He (Mr. Bigler) believed in squat ter sovereignty, and thought the people of Kan sas, even while a territory, might exclude sla very. What Mr. Buchanan thought on this sufajjeot he knew not.

Austria, Bavoria, and Baden, sup port Prussia in its claims. The Peace Congress is to assemble soo’n. Private despatches received in London state that the Persians have taken Herat. There is an extraordinary activity displayed in the Engliifh dock yards, and an entire flotilla of gun boats have been ordered to join the re serve steamer squadron now at Sheerness. The latest despatch from Berlin says that Prussia is willing to relinquish her rights over Neulehatel, provided the political prisoners are discharged; otherwise she will act deci sively. In Marseilles, on Friday, it was announced that a strong Russian force was marching through Bessarabia to tho Black Sea. Seven English men-of-war are expected mo mentarily at Constantinople, from Malia. Commercial Convention—Fifth Day. FREE TRADE AND DIRECT TAXATION. Mr. Howard, of Ga., on behalf of the ma jority of the committee on business, made the following report: Whereas, in the judgment of this conven tion the great obstacle to the direct trade of the South with foreign nations is to be found in the restrictive policy of raising revenue by imposts and in the unjust fiscal action of the federal government by which revenue raised from the South has been disbursed at the North, thus draining the South of its capital, and accumulating it in tho Northern, Eastern aud Middle States thereof. Resolved, That complete freedom of indus try and trade, is demanded by every considera tion of justice, equality and sound policy. Resolved, That the system of imposts is in compatible with perfect freedom of industry and trade, and operates unequally, first, as be tween different sections of the Union, second, as between different classes of producers, and third, as between individual citizens, and there fore ought to be abolished. Resolved, That levying a tax upon consump tion as well as upon productions, the system of imports throws an unjust proportion of the taxes upon the great middle and producing classes, and, overlooking entirely the ability of tax payers, permits wealthy capitalists either to use it as a means of increasing their wealth, or at least of escaping with a tax bearing no just proportion to their resources or obliga tions. Resolved, That being a tax upon foreign product obtained in exchange for home pro ducts, it discourages and limits the amount of foreign, and therefore of internal commerce, and operates as a bounty to those at home en gaged in the production of articles similar to those subjectedjto impost duties. Resolved, That escaping popular observa tion and enquiry, it facilitates the raising of large and unnecessary revenue, increases the patronage of the government, and engenders profusion and corruption in its administra tion. Resolved, That a well digested system of ad valorem taxation is the proper remedy for all tho evils inherent in aud inseparable from a system of imposts. Resolved, that the abandonment of the sys tem of imposts and the establishment of abso lute free trade and moderate direct taxation will revive Southern commerce, lead to direct importation, and thus accomplish the great ob jects at which we aim, to be followed as a ne cessary cousequenco by the establishment of lines of steamers, railroads, and all the acces saries of active, extended and lucrative com merce. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions bo transmitted to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and that this Con vention earnestly recommend them to use their host efforts for the establishment of the princi ples ennuuciated in the foregoing resolutions ; and also the Governors of the several States with a request that they lay them before the Legislature of said States. Resolved, That thi convention recommend the establishment of free trade associations in the several States represented in this conven tion, upon the basis of these resolutions. Mr. Fleming of Tennessee, presented the following minority report: The undersigned, members of the general committee on business of the convention, re spectfully beg leave to dissent from the recom mendations of the majority of the committee on the subject of free trade and direct taxation, We deem it unnecessary at this time and in this form to enter into a detailed argument in sup port of the position we have thus assumed, hut will briefly submit that we regard the res olutions recommended by the majority as un wise and impracticable, aud the question there in raised as not being legitimately withiu the jurisdiction of this body. We believe that the radical policy suggested by tho majority which would so revolutionize a system to which our people have been con formed from tho organization of our govern ment, would at this time be most ruinous in its inauguration as an entering wedge to the dis solution of our National Union. Whence we dissent from this report of the majority, and pray for its rejection by this convention. All of which is respectfully submited, (fc’gne J) John M. Fleming, of Tenn. John J. Baiir, of Ala. Wm. G. McDoo, of Tenn. F. B. Dean, of Va. Mr. Fleming, stated the minorty report had 1 been hastily drawn up this morning without I an opportunity to consult all the members of the committee who might have agreed to it. He had understood that Florida and North Carolina members were in favor of the miuor ito report. Mr. Gibbons, of N. C., moved to lay the ma jority report on the table, which question be ing taken by States, was agreed to as follows : In the affirmative there were— Alabama 9 votes. Maryland 8 “ North Carolina 10 “ Virginia 15 “ Tennessee 12 “ Florida 3 “ Total. 57 votes. In the negative were— Georgia 10 votes. South Carolina 8 “ Louisiana 0 “ Total 25 votes, Texas not present. Subsequently the vote laying the majority report on the table, was, after considerable discussion reconsidered, and On motion of Mr. Calhoun, of S. C., both the majority and minority reports, were refer red to a select committee of one from each State, to be appointed by the president, and i to report at the next meeting of the conven | tion. RESOLUTIONS A DOTTED. Mr. Spaight, of Ala., introduced the follow ing resolution which was read and adopted. Resolved, That this convention recognize the importance of the speedy construction by rail ways in the Southern Atlantic and Gulf States, and as a means of accomplishing this object this convention recommend to favorable c n sideration of the respective legislatures of Ga., Ala., Miss., Lou., and Texas, the importance of an early completion of the road from West L’oint, Ga., to the Mississippi river, by way of Montgomery and Selma, in Ala., to the Missis sippi line, to connect with the Jackson and Brandon Road, in Mississippi, and the Vicks burg and Shreveport in Louisana. and thence to connect with the Southern Pacific road char tered by the State of Texas. Mr. Hubbard, of Ala , offered the following resolution, which was considered and adopt ed: Resolved. That a select committee of three be appointed to consider and report to tho next meeting of this convention, for its considera tion, a system of detective police in Southern States, supported by planters and slaveholders; also a system of finance and the propriety of incorporating a planters’ union. The President announced Messrs. Hubbard, of Ala., Deßow, of La., and Ashe, of N. C., as the committee, Franklin College. We are indebted to a friend, says the Au gusta Coustitutioaalist, who was in Athens, on Friday, for the following result of tho election of President and Professors by the Board of Trustees of Franklin College: Dr. A. Church, elected President pro. tern., subject to the confirmation of the Senatus Aca demicus at its next session. Dr. Wm. T. Brandy, Professor of Belles Lct tves aud Oratory. J. 1).

Rutherford, of Athens, Professor of Mathematics. James Woodrow, of Oglethorpe University, Professor of Natural Sciences. W. D. Wash, of Mississippi, and William Henry IV addell, of Athens, were elected Tu tors. Dr. Church, it is understood, has accepted the Presidency. I’wo Trustees wore elected to fill the vacancies in the Board, but our infor mant did not ascertain their names. On sale day last week, in Pickens District fe. C., as we learn from the Keowee Courier, six negroes were sold for $4,135, an average price of SCB9. One half interest in a tract of land containing eighty-five acres, was sold for $2,025. The New York Sun declares itself to be in tho possession of facts which lead it to the be lief that the Lemmon slave case, will be decid ed by the Supreme Court of the United States in favor of the plaintiff. The case involves the right of the slaveholder to bring liis slaves in transitu into Northern States, as properly en titled to protection under the Constitution. It is stated in the Raleigh Register, that that establishment was exposed to public sale in Raleigh on Friday last, and was bid off for John W. Syme, Esq., of the Petersburg Intel ligencer, at $5,100. Mr. Syme is expected to take charge of the paper some time next month. The Savannah Republican says “Archbish ‘ op John Hughes of the Catholic Church, came | passenger by the Gordon, Saturday morning. , He will remain iu the city some week or more, ; and then take passage for Cuba, which he visits j again in search of health.” Wood’s Hair Bestorative.
