Persons desirous of procuring Singing Birds are invited to call at the City Hotel, where a tine collection are on sale. See Advertisement. 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.’ Time of Fast Horses. ••Porter’s Spirit” of November 22d suys:— The fastest mile ever made by a running horse, wns made by Henry Perrit, in 1:42.]. The fas test mile ever made by a pacer, was by Poca houtas, in 2:17] : and tho fastest mile ever made in trotting, was made by Flora Temple, in harness in 2:24], 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.” The l uer appeared originally in the Missouri Den. -vat. —Charleston Standard. TELEGRAPHIC. Telegraphed to tho Daily Sun. From New Orleans.

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.
