Rutherford and John Seely. The hoard meut again this ovening and will proceed to fill other posts, among them, that of 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 wyes. Conference Appointments. The Conference of the Methodist Espiscupul Church, adjourned its session at Atnericua last Friday. The next session is to be held at Washington, Wilkes county, Ga. We copy from the list of appointments, such as come within the range of our circulation: Columbus District. —1.. Rush, P. E. Columbus —M. A. Wynn and Geo. G. N. Mc- Donald. Col. Charge—E. N. Boland.

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.

Wo learn that a plot, formed among discon tented negroes, for u movement against their masters, was discovered during the first of this week, iu the vicinity of Williamsburg, Va. Five of the ring leaders have been arrested, and an eud put to the attempt at revolt. A similar occurrence we hear took place in Mont gomery county. Nashville ancl Chattanooga Rail Road and the Hog Business. We are pleased to note the large increase of freights in the stock line over this road during the present, as compared with last year. From Ist Oct to 12th Dec. 1856—295 carloads of hogs. From Ist Oct to 12th Dec. 1855—166 carloads of hogs. Excess this year 129 “ “ of hogs. There were ten thousand head of hogs ship ped last year, and eighteen thousand so far this season. Add livo thousand hogs that have crossed the river at this point, and we have 23,000 hogs shipped to this market since Oct. Ist— being a large increase over last year.— Chat. Adv , * 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 &.

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?
