The hoard meut again this ovening and will

City Printer.
Wn trust that the honorable body will duly
consider the claims gftbe Sun as a medium for
the promulgation of their proceedings. In ad
dition to its largo and general circulation over
the city, it is the only daily in tho city, and on
this account, is naturally the place to which
the public look for the proceedings of the Coun
cil. Should the*Suu have the honor to bo se
lected we promise dispatch in tho execution
of the trust.
The Lecture beforo tho Young Mens’ Chris
tian Association expected this evening from
Rev. S. J. Higgins at the Presbyterian Church
is unavoidably deferred till Sabbath P. M. J
o’clock, at the same place.
Wood’s Museum.
We dropped in last night at Concert llall
to see the attractions on exhibition, and were
well paid for the time of our visit. The gian
tess can only bo appreciated by actual obser
vation, so far does she exceed her sex in height.
She is all of a head and neck taller than our
worthy Mayor. The woman in whiskers and
her child three years old, with a coat of hair
over its entire body, are no common objects,
Rut the greatest attraction is the miniature
woman and man, the former apparently about
50 years of age, and tho latter evidently ad
vanced beyond boyhood both well formed, in
telligent and decidedly good looking. Then
comes the two musical boys who keep the
crowd entertained with music of all sorts of
lords and animals. The collection will well
pay a visit from the curious.
Wo were unable to attend the mooting at
Temperance Hall on Monday night, but under
stand it was numerously attended by our be-t
citizens, and resolutions very decided in their
tone and determination were adopted.
Wo were promised a copy for publication
this morning, but they did not come to hand.
The failure was decidedly out of place. We
dislike very much to play second fiddle.
Tho Bailie.
The Rallle which was to have taken place on
last Friday night, for the finest riding horse in
ihi> Southern States, gotten up by Messrs. Ver
ne y Cos., was postponed until to-night, at 8
o’clock, at the “Gem.”

Chattanooga Gasette.
We received a handbill yesterday, from
Messrs. Russ & Dushiell, announcing that they
had purchased the materials of tho Chattanoo
ga Gazette establishment, and will resume its
publication about the first of January. The
Gazette has been suspended for some weeks.
At a convention of the American party, held
at Griffin, on the 10th instant, the Hon. F, (1.
Cabaniss, of Monroe, was nominated as a can
didate for the Judgeship of tho Flint Circuit.

Wo learn from the Cahawba (Ala.) Gazette,
that tlioGiu House and 50 to 75 bales of cot
ton. on the plantation of Mr. E. T. Watts,
near that place, were consumed by fire on Fri
day last. The fire was tho result of careless
ness of a negro woman. Loss set down at
$7,000.
-
U e learn from the Kufaula Spirit, that a
brutal murder was recently committed in Hen
ry county, Alabama, by a negro namod Mose,
upon the person of his master. A reward of
two hundred dollars has been otlerred for his
. apprehension. It is said in addition to killing
his master, ho committed a diabolical outrage
on his mistress.
A Wild Cat Skinning.
Tho Intelligencer learns by a gentleman from
Dalton, that (’apt. James Morris, President of
the Planters A Mechanics’ Bank, of that town,
ilt ‘ s at last got his eyes opened—that he has
recently discovered some stupendous schemes,
headed liy Preston and the redoubtable Kib-
Lee, net only calculated to ruin the wild cat
iie-T. but designed to rob him of his own pri
vate estate.
Tho Intelligencer learns further, that Pres
ton is in jail in Louisville, Kentucky, on two
charges—one for swindling and the other for
passing eonterfeit money : and that an officer
from this State is in hot pursuit of Kibboe,
who is somewhere in the Northern cities, with
a requisition from tho Governor of this State.
A Severe Storm.
Duriug a heavy storm on the Lower Missis
sippi, on Thursday night last, a wharf bout at
Hickman, Kentucky, was sunk and several
steamers slightly damaged. The steamer Cu
ou. at Smithlund, while a heavy gale was blow
ing. was struck by the Nat Holmes and sunk.
I be on u- 1 a of the former claim $21,000 dam

Gen. Walker.
The accounts from Central America repre
sent the circumstances of Gov. Walker, as
very desperate, but we are inclined to think
there is some exaggeration. Apassenger from
California, arriving at Charleston on the Isabel
informs the Charleston Corrier, that tho steam
er brought down 170 fresh and healthy re
cruits—men just fitted for hard fighting—to
join Walker’s army, and there was every rea
son to believe that there had arrived, from
othor places, within a few days of that time,
numbers sufficient to increase the force full
four hundred, —as many men as it is stated
were surrounded by Costa Ricans, &c., at
Granada.
The same gentleman informs the Courier
that there is a misconception as to the reasons
which induced Walker to destroy Granada.
Although not compelled to evacuate that city,
he had decided to do so for the purpose of ef
fecting some new movements, and in order that
the enemy should gain no advantage by the
possession of the place after he had left it, he
determined to destroy it. Os course, we shall
have to await further advices, to determine
how the case stauds.
The cholera reported on board the Tennes
see, first made its appearance among tho pas
sengers, while going down the San Juan River.

Mr. Marcy on Privateering.
The proposition of the Secretary of State
in response to the proposal of the allied pow
ers to abolish privateering, “to exempt private
property on the ocean from seizure by gov
erninont-armed cruisers, as well as by priva
teers” is made the subject of a lotter from
Richard Cobden to tho Manchester Chamber
of Commerce, in which lie says:
1 cannot help regretting, as an Englishman,
that the proposal did not originate with us.
But the next best thing will be to give it a
prompt and hearty acceptance, and aid in se
curing for it, if possible, a world-wide acqui
escence. It is impossible to foresee all the
consequences of such a revolution in the rules
of war. It is, 1 believe, the first time in the
annals of the world that the powers of belig
crents will be restrained and defined in the in
terest of individuals, by written international
law. Who can tell in what othor direction the
precedent may be followed ? Wars will hence
forward partake more of the character of du
els between Governments, than of the old con
tests of nations. Private citizens will cease
to be held responsible, or liable to injury, un
less they become participators in the strife.
There will no longer be plunder and prize mo
ney to aid the stimulus of cupidity to the pas
sions of hatred and revenge.
Gov. Mcßae of Mississippi.
The Message of this gentleman was deliver
ed to the Legislature of Mississippi on the 2d
instant. A large portion of it is devoted to a
review of Abolition movements at the North.
Wo make the following extract:
Ist. The interference by Congressional leg
islation with the institution of Slavery in the
States.
2d. Interference in the trado in slaves be
tween the States.
3d. Any action of Cogress on the subject of
Slavery in the District of Columbia, or iu those
places subject to the jurisdiction of Congress,
incompatible with the safety and domestic
tranquility of the slaveholding States.
4th. The refusal by Congress to admit anew
I Stato into the Uuiou on the ground of her tol
| crating slavery within her limits.
sth. The passage of any law by Congress pro
| hibiting slavery iu auy of the Territories.
litli. The repeal of tho Fugitive Slave Law,
’ and the neglect or refusal by the General Gov
| ernuieut to enforce theCoustitutioual provisions
for the reclamation of fugitive slaves.
lie recommends tho Legislature to send to
the Governors of the non-slnveholditig States,
to be laid before their Legislature, and through
them before their people, “resolutions unanim
ously re-affirming the position of Mississippi,
with a calm, temperate and dignified exposition
of our rights, and our determination to main
tain them at all hazards.”
Georgia, he adds, has taken very much the
same position with Mississippi, and 1 recom
mend also to the Legislature, to invite the oth
er slaveholding States to meet in convention
respectively, and if approving the position of
Mississippi and Georgia, to take with thorn the
same position, or with such modifications ol it
as they shall respectively approve, that in view
of the dangers which threaten their institu
tions, and the overthrow of the Government,
they may unitedly stand upon a well defined
and unmistakable position, to resist the aggres
sions of this sectional organization, and main
tain their constitutional rights, and preserve
the Union of the States.
We learn from the Newberry S. C. Sun, that
Thomas Wells, condemned to be hung, has
been reprieved by the Uovoruor, und discharg
ed from jail. The jail of Newberry District is
now unoccupied, except by the sheriff and Ids
family.
From the Key West Key of the Gulf, loth instant.
ARRIVAL Oi’ THE TENNESSEE.
Important News from Nicaragua—-Walk
er’s Forces Surrounded—Brilliant Na
val Engagment.
The United States Mail steamship Tennessee,
Capt. Forbes, arrived here on the 9th instant,
from San Juan, which port she left on the 4th
instant. She brings 40U or 500 passengers and
upwards of SOOO,OOO in specie. She remained
here until this morning, filling up with coal
and wntcr, and at 0 o’clock left for Now York.
California. —We have no news from Cali
fornia of a special character. The State went
for Buchanan by about 16,000 majority. The
Legislature will stand in tho Senate 18 Demo
crats. 18 Americans, and 3 Republicans, and
in the Assembly there will be a Democratic
majority over ail of 21. Fremont did not get
a single vote in the city of San Diego.
Perilous Condition of Walkfr in Nica
ragua.—The news from Nicaragua is very
disheartening. Gen. Walker has been driven
from every place except the transit route, and
at last accounts his forces —some 400—were
at Granada completely surrounded by the
forces of Costa ltica, San Salvador and Guata
inala, which they had been fighting for the
nine days previous to the sailing of the Ten
nessee. Gen. Walker was on board of one of
the steamers on the lake but has no communi
cation with his army. Walker’s men are in a
very tight place—are suffering for the want of
provisions, clothing, &c., and are dying off by
disease.
Walker has destroyed Granada and Masaya.
Wc failed to procure any papers ; and give
the above from what we could gather from the
passengers.
Naval Engagement on the Pacific. —Wc
learn from a passenger by the Tennessee that
one of the most brilliant naval engagements
took place on the 22d Nov.,’ on the Pacific in
view of San Juan del Sur. ’
lie states that rumors had reached that set
tlement that a brig of war under the colors of
Costa Rica, was about to enter that port for
the purpose of landing reinforcements to ope
rate against Gen. Walker’s army—which ru
mor having reached the commander of the
Granada, (a small pilot boat in the interest of
Gen. Walker.) preparation was made to give
the brig a suitable welcome. The pilot boat
schooner armed with two six pounders, got un
der way as soon as the brig appeared in sight,
and by skilful manceuvering was soon to the
windward of the brig some two or three miles,
and then bore down upon the bvig, the latter
heaving to for action. The schooner being ve
ry low managed to get ho close to the brig as
to allow all her shot to pass over tho hull of
the schooner, and by frequent backing under
the stern of the brig, engaged her for two
hours, when the brig finally blew up.
The commander of the brig was at San Juan
del Sur when our informat left, with some for
ty or fifty of his crew which had been picked
up by the victorious crew of the schooner and
landed at that port. The brig is reported to
have been armed with six 10 pounders and to
have had a complement of 124 men. The
schooner armed with only two six pounders
and having a complement of twenty-eight men.
Thfe commander of the brig is reported to have
stated that he was about to surrender and had
given the order to cease firing but a second or
two before the fatal catastrophe. So close
were tho opposing forces, that he attributed
the accident to a wad from the guns of the
schooner, setting five to the brig’s magazine.
The engagement was heard and viewed by
the residents at San Juan del Sur ; and the
wounded crew of the brig were at that place
when our informant left.

Mexican Affairs.
The Charleston Courier of Monday says
among the passengers by the Isabel, we have
the pleasure of welcoming home our esteemed
friend, Gen. James Gadsden, who has favored
us with the latest files of Mexican journals up
to the date of his departure.
From these sources we have a few particu
lars of later and fuller imports than our pre
vious advices from that region.
The country up to the middle of November,
was still in a distracted state. Disaffection
with the Comonfort Government was increas
ing and extending, and especially among the
States most distant from tlie capital, Os the
movements of Vidaurri in the North, however,
our readers have been advised by accounts re
ceived at New Orleans,
The entire rank and tile with the Liberal
army seem dissatisfied ot’ a “one-man will,”
aping the excesses and enormities of Santa
Anna, to expel whom was the object of the
concert between Comonfort, Alvarez, Vidaur
ri, Llava, Garcia, Gonzalez, Degolado and Gi
lardi. The success of the revolution against
Santa Anna was attributed more to the enter
prise and daring guerilla warfare, which the
two last waged to the very gates of the capi
tal—aided by Vidaurri on the north and
Llava threatening the rear of the Mexican
brigand, and cutting off his retreat from the
Republic he was despoiling—than any of the
chiefs of the revolution. Yet these men are
| now to be denounced as rebels, for presuming
to hold Comonfort to tho common bond to
which all had sworn. Comoufort is diploma
tizing for the support of the Church and Con
servative power, and is ready to turn over to
them, dissolve the Constituent Assembly, anil
declare for central supremacy. Fortunately
for Mexieo, the Conservatives are as distrust
ful of hint as are the Liberals, whom he would
betray. They love the treason and would pay
for it, but despise the traitor. Tho emeute at
Puebla, under church iuffuence, is more for
midable than would appear from the Gov
ernment press—as it has involved a siege of
regular approaches to ovt rwhelm the power
in possession of that, “City of the Angels,”
and foreshadows events which may drive Com
onfort into his original insignificancy, and re
store absolutism to the Church and Conserva
dors. Every hour that they hold possession
of Puebla encourages tho disaffected Church
districts in the central departments.
Mexico, poor distracted Mexico, is on the
eve of another revolution, and the next mail
may report the removal of Comonfort to make
room for another political brigand, and like
Santa Anna, well freighted with the public
spoil. The Salamanca* anil “President sub
stitute” anticipate and divide the public plun
i der faster than it can come in. In this fact,
wc may read an explanation of the unsettled
issues between the English and Spain. Not
that Mexico resists the obligations justly in
curred to both of these powers, but that her
rulers so bankrupt the treasury that there is
uo ability to liquidate the British and Spanish
claims, even from the sources pledged under
convention.. It was reported the day the mail
closed that Comonfort lmd yielded to the de
mands of Lord Clurondou; that tho suspend
ed diplomatic relations had been renewed, and
an arrangement for settlement of the reclama
tion to Baron, Forbes & Cos. lmd been acceded
to. The late Spanish Minister had returned
home, but there were no visible signs of a
fleet preparing to take to Mexieo a morebelig
erent Envoy than the sagacious Alvarez, who
iu his 1 ie missions had settled the Spanish is
sues v iilt the former dependency, so peaceful
ly me. so entirely in accordance with the an
oien velatiotiH subsisting between the Crown
ot t i ;ilc and the Vice Royalties.

The Norfolk Argus tells a story which is the
like of a thousand others yet untold, and which
it tliinks would be a beautiful case for the
graphic ponofLady Stowe, if she would look
at the beam in her own eye, and overlook the
mote in ours. The amount of it is, that in the
principal hotel of the City of Newark, N. J.,
an active, sprightly girl, a native of that State,
waited on a portion of the guests at the public
table. She was missed for several days from
her accustomed place ; and as she had become
a favorite with the wife of a gentleman from
the South, sojourning for a time in the house
with his family, some inquiry was made about
the cause of her absence. From her servant,
a negro woman of her household, the lady
learned that the girl had become ill, and had
retired to her room, a small cuddy hole in the
fifth story of the hotel, and had remained there
during an entire day without any attention
whatever. The southern servant accidentally
heard of her lonely condition, and carried a
portion of her own food to tho invalid, and
nursed her till she was able to return to her
duty. The accidental presence of the negro
woman saved the white girl from being turned
into the street to become the inmate of the
aims house.
We have stated that Mr. Cook has arrived
at Washington with credentials as a delegate
from tho new Territory of Arazonia to Con
gress. The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, furnishes some facts concern
ing this territory. It embraces the land ac
quired by the Gadsden treaty in addition to
tho Messilla valley, which we had claimed un
der the former treaty, and comprises twenty
nine thousand square miles. A portion of the
territory is said to be arable and well watered,
and another portion is undoubtedly rich in
mines of gold, silver and copper. Wagons have
traversed the territory from the llio Grande to
the head of the Gulf of California. The terri
tory is chiefly valued, however, as presenting
tho shorter and most practicable route for a
Rail Road to the Pacific. The distance from
the Rio Grande to San Diego, or Sau Pedro,
by routes which have been indicated, is about
1600 miles. This is the route to which the
Secretary of War gives the preference, among
those which the government have caused to be
examined and surveyed. The cost of a Rail
Road by this route will be very moderate, ac
cording to the estimates, and they are believed
by the Secretary to be within the mark.—
Whether the House will consent to create a se
parate territorial government for Arazonia, or
extend that of New Mexieo over it, is to be
seen.
Arrest of a Murderer.
At a house raising in Whitfield county,
near Dalton, some two months ago, a fracas
occurred, which resulted in the death of a
man named Sisk. He was killed with
spike in the hands of a man named Miller, who
immediately tied, and has not been heard of by
the neighbors till a few days ago. The Exe
cutive had offered the usual reward of two
hundred dollars for his apprehension; and the
citizens of the county, considering it an aggra
vated case of murder, had offered an additional
sum of three hundred dollars. With this sub
stantial inducement before their eyes, three
brothers, Findlays, pursed him, and, we learn,
succeeded in taking him somewhere in the moun
tains of Gilmer county, one night last week;
nd delivered him to the jailor of Whitfield coun
ty, day before yesterday,— Atlanta Intdigcncer.
A Daughter to her Father.
Julia Webster Appleton, the daughter of
Daniel Webster, in a letter to her father six
teen years ago, thus appealed to him on an
occasion of his sickness to return to private
life: “ What is the whole country to your
family, when weighed in the balance with one
hour of sickness or anxiety which it causes
you ? I am no great patriot; I do not love
Rome better than Ctesar—the advancement of
party better than my own dear father.”
The Extent of the Cotton Crop.
Some two weeks ago, the estimates of the
present crop of cotton, made by prominent com
mercial houses in New York, for their Liver
pool and other European friends were as fol
lows :
Wright & Cos., under 3,000,000 hales.
Taliuau ik Cos., not to exceed...B,ooo,ooo “
Neill Brothers 3.200,000 “
Stewart &. Uo 3,306,0(H) “
At the conclusion of Mr. Crittenden’s eulo
gy upon thu lute Mr. Clayton, delivered in the
Senate, on the 3d instant, is the following re
mit rk :
“it must he pleasing to us all to learn from
the honorable Senator from Delaware, (Mr.
Bayard.) that Mr. Clayton died a Christian.
So he should have died. Sucli a death gives
to humanity its proper dignity. Full of the
world's honor ho died full of the more precious
hopes that lie beyond the grave. Os hint who
so dies we may well exclaim, O death ! where
is thy sting? O grave! where is thy victory?”
There is an editor-—a confirmed old bach—
