We learn from the LaQrange Reporter that
the maginificient college buildings, fixtures,
&c., of the “ LnGrange Female College” was
purchased at the recent session of the Con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
at Americus, hy that denomination, for the
sum of $40,000. The erection of the proper
ty &c., is said, by the Reporter, to have cost
the Messrs. Montgomery $85,000. The Con
ference appointed the Rev. Win. G. Connor,
agent io solicit subscriptions throughout the
Htate for the payment of the debt thus con
tracted.
On the night of the 11th instant, says a dis
patch from Richmond, a stream of water
broke loose in the Midlothian Coal Pits, Vir
ginia, drowning six white men and seven ne
groes.
The Messenger says there is to be an im
mense number of negroes sold in Montgomery
during the next few weeks, belonging mostly
to the estates of deceased persons. A number
of negro mechanics, of the most valuable de
scription, lately belonging to the Winter iron
works, are to be sold at auction on the 29th
instant.
Negro Church Burnt.
The negro church at Newnan, Ga., was
burnt last Monday morning before day-light,
doubtless by desigu. The citizens apprehended
something like revolt, that night, and patroll
ed the village well armed.
We learn this from the ‘lndependent Blade.’

Savannah Races.
Our Kavunnah neighbors are rejoicing in the
prospect of a fine week’s sport at their races,
which commences on the 7th of January. The
stables of Col. McDaniel of North Carolina,
Messrs. Pryor and Berry of this city, Mr. Wil
kinson of Kentucky, and I)r, Cassey of Macon,
have already arrived. Among the noted ra
cers already there, are Frank Allen, Mary
Blueskin, Moidore, Atlelgiza, Carolina, and
Gov. Johnson.— Enquirer.
The bill creating a Law Department of the
federal government, to be presided ovor by the
Attorney General, and having all the incidents
of the other Executive Departments, has been
introduced in the Senate.
The Senate of South Carolina has laid on
the tablo the report of the Committee on re
opening the slave trade.
Land Fever in Kansas.
Land speculators appear to have got on a
full head of steam in Kansas, and we may soon
expect to hear an explosion. A letter from
Leavenworth says :
“ A lot containing 50 acres lying half a mile
from town, sold at private sale a day or two
iiuce for $11,000! Line of 53 acres for $12,-
000. One of 10 acres for $3,000. Single lots
24 feet by 110 ore selling from S2OO to $2500.
Small office buildings rent for six hundred dol
lars per year.”
The Jewish Synagogue in Mobile, was con
sumed by fire on Thursday last. The fire took
from a school room in the basement story.
The building was insured in different offices to
tbe amount of $5,500 and the furniture
Ti 1 .200.
Light Fingered Operations,
The Atlanta Intelligencer states that a young
man named Perry Howard, employed as a clerk
in a Dry Hoods establishment of Messrs.
Dench & Lockhart, in Atlanta was discovered,
on Monday last, to have been practicing, for
oine time past, a system of appropriation, to
his own use, of money and articles of mechau
dise belonging to his employers. The Intelli
gencer says he made a clean breast of it final
ly, and restored a portion of the money and
articles stolen, amounting to about two hun
dred dollars. The young man is at present
sejourning at the “fancy boarding house,” iu
that city.
More Qold.
We learu that someone has struck anew
vein iu the notorious nineteenth District of
Paulding county, thnt promises to be very
rich. Mr. Dickens of Columbus is establish
ing a Mill, propelled by steam, for crushing
(lie Hock. The llock is comparatively soft,
is said to yield five dollars worth of pure gold
to the bushel.— Rome ( Ga .) Courier.
The mine spoken of above is the property of
Mrs. Sarah Vincent of Columbus.
Discovery of Old Coin in Buoks County.
About one thousand dollars, in old Ameri
can and Spanish gold coin, and French silver,
were found ou Thursday last, in a smoke house
attached to the dwelling of Mr. Peter Texter,
on the South Mountaiu, Bucks county, by one
of the girls living with him. The smoke house
had been used daily by the family for a great
many years, iu eutire ignorance of the treas
ure it concealed ; and it was the operation of
rate in undemanding the brick tloor of the
place, and exposing to view an old buckskin
bag, in which the coin was contained, that the
discovery was owing. The oldest pieces bear
the date of 1733, and the American coin is
principally of the issues of 1800 to 1804.
This treasure was doubtless hid away by one
of Mr. Texter’s ancestors, who occupied the
house at the time wheu banks were unknown
among us, and our country bad not sufficient
ly recovered from the disturbance* of the rev
olution to make its possessor secure in invest
ing it.— -Phil. New*.
A large number of passengers remain here
to take passage in the Isabel for Savannah and
Charleston, on account of the cholera being on
•>oard of Tennessee. The total number of
leuths on the passage to tbis place from chole
ra was twelve, aud one last night at the wharf.
The Florida Excitement.
We have been permitted to make the follow
ing extract from a letter written by a reliable
gentleman in Calhoun co., Florida, to a friend
in this city:
We have considerable excitement here, caus
ed by a supposed inchoate insurrection of tbe
negroes. Someone wrote from this county to
an editor of Tallahassee, telling him to warn
the citizens to be on their guard, that an in
surrection was to take place about Christmas.
The editor embellished it with oceans of blood,
wild fire, axes, clubs, &c.—whence this excite
ment.
A committee demanded the letter, hoping
to ascertain the author, and ascertain what he
knew. Letter has been received but gave no
clue to tbe author —writing looked like a wo
man, and nearly every word mis-spelt—supe
rogatiou of the editor, made an all fired blaze
fromthe smoke of an anonymous letter. There
may be just grounds for such reports, but l
think the people are making great fools of
themselves, without they knew them to be so.
Suppose tbe excitement inTennessec and South
Carolina, increases it hero. Every pistol, gun
and knife has been bought up in our village,
and they are sending to neighboring towns for
more. Many of tbe women and children go
armed, and I am told that many persons have
nailed up the windows and keep the doors
barred. Tbe lower classes have become so in
flamed and made so many threats, what they
would do with negroes out at night, that the
cooler part of the community had to command
their negroes not to leave the plantations.
It is well enough for people to be on their
guard, to act with decision, but to be making
such a blowing-horn of their fright, is unne
cessary and silly. I notice the excitement is
almost wholly confined to the weak-minded,
and those who own no slaves. Twenty years
ago there whs just such an excitement here.
An old bachelor living in the country feeling
unsafe, went to a neighbors for protection. At
bed time the host put the old chap in a shed
room aud locked the door —he went to bed but
not to sleep. About one o’clock some drunk
en segor mukers a mile off commenced firing
their guns. Host hearing them, thought the
battle had began, so he called all his negroes
in gave them arms, barred doors and windows
—and told them when attacked to fight like
devils. Old guest bearing guns at u distnuce,
and the bustle in the adjoining room, suppos
ed the family were being murdered, and com
menced breaking down his lockod door, to
make good his escape. Host hearing the blows
at the door, in his confusion forgot his guest,
and supposing he was attacked, yelled out from
a closet where he had concealed himself, for
the negroes to tiro like hell. Old man begged
‘‘for Goil’s sake not to shoot him,’twas no
body but his dear friend, Mattriar, Mattriar,
Mattriar.” Man of the house supposing he
said fire, fire, fire, commanded the negroes to
pepper the hell-cats with hot lead. Hostess
more collected than her liege lord, with many
tears and entreaties prevailed ou him to un
bar tho doors and admit the affrighted old
man.
From the proof I have of the anticipated in
surrection, I think the present alarm and blus
ter as ludicrous as that nights’ confusion.”
The Florida Bail Boad.
One of the most important railroad enter
prises in the Southern States (says the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser) is that of the Railroad
company who are building a road across the
Isthmus of Florida. It commences at the lit
tle town of Fernaudina, near the mouth of the
St. Mary’s, ou the Atlantic, and runs in a
southwesterly direction to Cedar Key, near the
mouth of the Suwanee, on the Gulf of Mexico.
The distuuce between these points is one hun
dred and thirty-seven miles.
“The road has been projected aud com
menced under the idea that the saving of dis
tance and avoidance of the dangerous naviga
tion of the Capes of Florida will give it a large
portion of the freight between New Orleans
and the Atlantic ports. Some idea of the mag
nitude of the interest involved nmy be gathered
from the statement that there were cleared at
the custom houses in Boston, New York, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore, for the ports of the
United States in the Gulf of Mexico, during
the year 1854, 882 vessels, with an aggregate
tonnage of 453,378 tons, or an average of 1,448
tons for every business day, in the year. In
the estimate that an equal amount goes to the
Atlantic ports, there would be an average
clearance of nearly three thousand tons for
every business day in the year.”
We are glad to see, by the annexed para
graph from the Jacksonville News, that this
important link in our coast communication is
going on so vigorously and successfully :
“We understand that the Florida Hail Hoad
Company has reeeutly purchased two thousand
tons of rails in addition to the five thousand
tons already noticed iu this paper. Some four
hundred men are engaged on the road, and a
large number were received by the last trip of
the steamer Carolina. Fifty miles of the road,
more than one-third of the whole distance from
Fernaudina to Cedar Key, are graded, and it
is the intention of the company to increase
their force on track laying to a number suffi
cient to insure the laying down of two miles
per week. The engine is alreudy running over
ten miles of the road, and the first bale of cot
ton received at Fernaudina has been shipped
to Charleston by the last trip of the Carolina.”
The California Exiles.
By late files of California papers, received
by the Isabel, it seems that the people are be
ginning to feel quite indignant that the New
\ ork authorities will allow the persons ban
ished by the Vigilance Committee to cause the
arrest of merchants who visit that city on bu
siness. A correspondent of the Bulletin says .•
“If the citizens of New York will not pro
tect them, it becomes our duty, in self-defence,
to devise means, by transferring all our busi
ness, say to Philadelphia,Jßoston or Baltimore,
which will indicate a desire to protect our
merchants and other citizens. If New York
will not help us, she can be made to feel the
■mart, by our not patronising her ships. What
we cannot purchase elsewhere, we can do
without.”
The same paper also questions if it would
not be advisable for the citizens of San Fran
cisco to offer a reward of from SIOOO to SSOOO
for the safe delivery in California, dead or
alive, of each of those miserable individuals
who were banished, aud who are annoying
their best men by suits aud otherwise ? Fifty
thousand dollars, or twice that amount, could
be raised in the city and State for that pur
pose.
Stephens and Hill.
We inserted a paragraph a short time ago,
stating that Mr. Stephens had sent a challenge
to Mr. lb H. Hill. We understand from pri
vate sources, Mr. Hill declined accepting, for
reasons of his church connection. The follow
ing card from Mr. Stephens, which we find in
the Constitutionalist of Wednesday, fully ex
plains itself:
A Card.
The letter of B. H. Hill, Esq., published in
the Constitutionalist, of the 20th ult., (copied
from the Savannah Republican,) abounding, as
it does, with the grossest perversion of truth
upon matters relating to myself, though of no
great weight in themselves, should have been
noticed at an earlier date, but for the penden
cy of a correspondence between bim and me
upon another subject of much higher grade, in
importance, which required prior adjustment
—that was a report which had reach me of his
speeches at Thomson and Augusta, nenr the
close of the late canvass, in which, asw:i’
communicated to me, he had said, in substance,
at both these places, in alluding to the discus
sion at Lexington with me, and the discussion
at Washington with Mr. Toombs, “that he had
charged them (Messrs. Toombs aud Stephens)
with having betrayed the Whig party, and
having acted towards it worse than Judas Is
cariot. For though he betrayed his master,
yet lie did not abuse him afterwards—that he
had thundered this in their ears and they had
cowered under it.” An explanation of this
language took precedence over all minor is
sues. And lam now compelled by a sense of
duty to myself and tbe public, to make known
that by the correspondence referred to and
just terminated, in relation to it, Mr. Hill has
proved himself to me to be not only an impu
dent braggart, and an unscrupulous liar, but
a dispicable poltroon besides. All these I pro
claim him to be, holding myself, notwithstand
ing what has passed, and this denunciation,
still responsible even to him, for what I say,
if he be not utterly insensible to shame and
degradation, however he may be as to -‘fear.”
The public, therefore, will excuse me for not
saying anything further upon his version of
the facts relating to the very immaterial ques
tion, so far as I was concerned, as to whether
he did or did not “back out” from the discus
sion in Elbert.
1 will also, I trust, be excused even by tho
most fastidious, for the language now used to
wards him, which my own relf-respect on or
dinary occasions would forbid. But when a
mendacious gasconade sets up wantonly to as
perse private character and malign individua
reputation, and then refuses that redress which
a gentleman knows how to ask, as well as how
to grant, no course is left for the most courte
ous and decorous, the most upright and honor
able, but to put the brand of infamy upon
him—there to remain until a radical change in
his character, and especially in his conduct,
either in gividg personal insults, or making
proper amends for them when given, shall re
move it. Alexander H. Stephens.
Washington, D. C., 12th Dec., 1856.
Election of Judges in January.
Iu response to a note addressed to Judge \V.
B. Fleming, of the Savannah Circuit, by the
Bar of that city, requesting bis construction
of the law of the last Legislature, changing the
time of electing Judges of the Superior Courts,
from October to January, lie says:
“Until my attention was called to the Act, I
had supposed that the election would take place
on the first Monday in January, 1858. After
examination, however, 1 have come to a differ
ent conclusion, and believe that the first Mon
day in January next is the proper time under
the Act for the election of Judges. It is true,
the constitution provides, that “Judges shall
continue in office until their successors are
elected and qualified.” This provision, how
ever, was to prevent a vacancy on the happen
ing of certain contingencies, such as a failure
to elect, resignation or death after election,
hut before qualification. It was never intend
ed to clothe the Legislature with power to ex
tend the term of office, which by the constitu
tion is limited to four years. Now, if the first
Monday in January, mentioned in the Act, is
construed to mean the first Monday in January
after the four years have expired, then this
Act is neither more nor less than an Act to add
two months to the term of office of the present
Judges, in the very face of the Constitution,
which limits the term to fouryeara. The pro
vision that “ Judges shall continue in office
until their successors are elected ami quali
fied,” never contemplated a failure by reason
of a legislative enactment. If the legislature
Lave the right to add two months to the term
of office, why not two years, and if two years
why not four years, or, indeed, any number of
years. Here, then, are two constructions of
this Act—if you construct the first Monday in
January to mean the first Monday in January
after the term has expired, the Act is uncon
stitutional, but if you construe it to mean the
first Monday in January before the term has
expired, it is relieved of all constitutional diffi
culty.”
In conclusion, the Judge informs the Bar
that he is a candidate for re-election.
A Lad Bitten by a Bat-
We were informed last- evening that a lad,
aged eight years, was severely bitten by a rat
a few nights since iu this city. The little fel
low was put to bed by bis father, who left home
to transact some business. Returning in about
two hours after, lie found the pillow under the
child’s head covered witli blood. He awaken
ed him, and found that he had been attacked
by a rat, which jumped upon the bed and in
dicted a wound on the nose of the boy. Driv
en away, it returned ami inflicted another
wound ou the left ear of the lad. Again he
drove it away, after which the rat returned a
third time to renew the attack, but could not,
the lad having closely covered himself with the
bed clothing. The wounds received, it was
first thought by the medical attendant, might
prove serious ; the lad, however, has recover
ed from them. —Savannah Journal.
We mentioned, a few days ago, the publica
tion of a documant by Col. J. A. Harvey, and
ninety other Free State settlers in Kansns,
which pronounced the Aid Society nn unmitti
gated humbug. In later papers from the North,
we find this document published entire, and
the substance of it we give below. Col. Har
vey begins by advising all persons who intend
emigrating to Kansas, to go on tbeir own re
sponsibility, as no dependence can be placed
on the Kansas Aid Society. That Association,
he says, is nothing more than a Yankee spec
ulating operation. Several instances are giv
en of failure of the Society to comply with its
engagements It is time, soys the Colonel,
that these transactions were exposed: and
that people should no longer be duped into
contributing for “bleeding Kansas.” Some
stubborn facts are brought to the public atten
tion, which, the writer hopes, “may warn
those who may be interested in Kansas mat
ters. MiJ who wish to come here ns settlers.”

A Black Man’s Funeral.
We announced some days ago the death, at
Richmond, Va., of Andrew Marshall, the col
ored preacher, who had been ministering in
holy things to the slave population of Savan
nah for nearly forty years. His remains, en
cased in a neat metalic coffin, were brought
from Richmond at the expense of his congre
gation, aud yesterday was set apart at the
First African Baptist Church for the funeral
ceremonies over the lamented dead. Long be
fore the hour appointed for the services, an im
mense throng, without respect to color or con
dition, collected at the Church, the floor, ais
les, galleries and even steps and windows of
which, were densely packed. Hundreds, un
able to gain admittance, were assembled in
front and around the Church, while the street
was completely blocked up with vehicles of eve
ry description.
At the appointed hour the body was taken
from the residence of the deceased to the
Church, and placed in front of the altar. Af
ter prayer, singing, nml the reading of appro
priate lessons from the scriptures, an eloquent
and impressive discourse was preached by the
Rev. Mr. Rambaut, formerly of the First Rap
tist Church, now on a visit to the city.
The services in the church having been con
cluded, the body was returned to the hearse
and the immense congregation formed in pro
cession, the deacons and other officers of the
various churches in front; next came the re
mains of the deceased, followed by the Colored
Benevolent and Temperance Societies, and af
ter them a long line of carriages, some fifty in
number, and a multitude of pedestrians. The
procession was a most solemn and imposing
spectacle, and attracted much attention as it
passed through the city. It moved up West
Broad street and thence to Laurel Grove Ceme
tery, where tho body was deposited in the
family vault, with the usual ceremonies of the
Baptist Church.
Andrew Marshall was, in many respects, a
remarkable man. We are but little informed
as to his early history, but learn that he was
originally a slave, and having accumulated a
considerable amount of money—his earnings
in his own time—as the more industrious of
our slaves seldom fail to do, purchased his
freedom. His secular pursuit was that of a
drayman, which he followed with energy and
thrift, and laid up a comfortable support for
himself and family, in his qld age. His chief
einpoyment, however, for nearly a half centu
ry, was the Christian ministry, in which he
acquired a large fund of scriptural lore, and
oxercised almost unbounded influence among
his race by the truth and power of his sermons
and the piety of his life. He was, as before
stated, the Pastor of the First African Baptist
Church in this city, and though over a centu
ry in nge, he continued his labors among his
flock with unabated zeal up to the day of his
death. He was greatly respected by all of our
citizens, and an idol among the large congre
gation of bis owji color so long under his pas
toral care—a fact which no one can doubt who
witnessed the deep solemnity and unfeigned
grief that characterized the obsequies of yes
terday.—Sav. Republican.
Charleston and Savannah Railroad.
We are pleased to learn, that a telegraphic
dispatch from Columbia, South Carolina, ad
dressed to W. B. Hodgson, Esq., one of the
Directors, was received last evening announc
ing tbo important intelligence, that a bill had
passed the Legislature, giving $5,000 a mile
to this road, for every twenty miles graded and
ready for the iron. Wo are also assured, that
the work on the Georgia portion of this road
will be commenced forthwith. Fifty-one miles
of the road, beginning at Charleston, are near
ly ready for the iron. The cars on that por
tion of the road will be running during the
next year, and the expectation of the Compa
ny is, that the opening of the year 1858, will
be the opening of land travel and mail con
veyance between the two cities. This cannot
be effected too soon, for the interest of both.
We cannot refrain from alluding to the no
tice of this important road, made by R. R.
Cuyler, Esq., in his recent annual report on
the Central Railroad. In discussing the pro
jected road between Macon and Augusta,
which will compete with the Central, he says:
“Furthermore, a railroad is now in pro
gress, between this city and Charleston. By
it, and the road of this company, the distance
between Macon and Charleston will be 293
miles : only 40 miles longer than the Macon
and Warranton (or Augusta) line. Produce
and goods can be transported as cheaply, be
tween Macon ami Charleston, via Savannah,
as they ever can be via Warrenton and Augus
ta.”
Our Charleston friends would do well to
make a note of this, and turn their energies
and capital to the direct road. We hope, too,
they will send their superabundant capital
here, ami help us to build our Atlantic and
Gulf road. That is an enterprise that must
bo remunerating. —Savannah Republican.

old gentleman will come heavily loaded with such tan

from old ones—of lightening the burthen of the heavy
hearted, and loosening the strings of the tightest jJHrsr —
then-fore bring them with yon, and all shall have a
