Saturday Mornlnf, Dc> ‘4O, 1866.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
City Printer.
Thi* election came off on Tuesday night, and j
resulted in the cloction of Gen. Bethuno, of the
Cornerstone, after quite an animated contest,
in which 26 ballots were had.
The General is a very clever man, and as we
aouhl not be the favored individual, we arc
truly glad to sec him in luck. None need the
three hundred dollar lift more than the Corner
Stone. Wo return our sincere thanks to the
two friends who stood up to us on the occa
sion.
We have the consolation to know, however,
that if the Sun is not popular with the city
fathers, it is decidedly so with their constitu
ents, who show their appreciation by giving it
a city circulation quite equal to that of its
three competitors combined.
Important Case.
The ease of Scott and others, involving the
question of the power of Congress to prohibit
slavery in Territories, was appointed to be
heard in the Supreme Court of the U. S. on
Monday last, should there be a full bench.
The Washington Daily Union of Saturday says:
“Seldom, if ever, has there been a case before
this high tribunal of greater importance, or
one in which such general and deep interest
is felt.”
South Carolina and Disunion.
The disunion resolutions of Mr. Middleton
were laid on the table by the lower house of
the South Carolina Legislature, Monday last,
by a vote of 56 to 44.
Upon the Legislature of Missouri, which is
soon to convene, will devolvo the duty of elect
ing two United States Senators. Mr. Benton
has no chance at all. Two democrats, or a
Democrat and a Conservative Whig, like Mr.
Geyer, the prosent momber, will doubtless be
olioseu.
False Alarm.
A numbor of the leading citiions of Gads
dan county, Florida, havo written to the Talla
haeaeo Floridian to say that a report of the ex
istence of feora of a servile rising in their
county was entirely without foundation.
dividend.
We understand, says the Winnsboro’ Regis
ter, that the Charlotte and South Carolina
Kailroad, will pay a dividend of three dollars
per share on and after the first Monday in
January next, being at the rate of C per cent.
The Democrats of Atlanta havo nominated a
full tioket for Mayor and Aldermen, headed by
Logan E. Bleckley for Mayor. The election
•omea off in January.
‘l'ho Pasiengor Depot of the Hudson Itiver
Rail Road, in tho city of Albany, Now York,
was destroyed by tiro on Monday the 15th
inst. Loss sot down at one hundred thousand
dollars.
The vote of California for President stands
as follows : Buchanan, 60,000 ; Fillmore, 35,-
000 ; Fremont 10,000. Buchanan’s majority
over both, 6,000. The Democrats also obtain
ed a majority in both branches of the State
Legislature.
Severe Gale.
A dispatch from Buffalo to the New York
News says a severe gale commenced there on
Sunday afternoon and continued till a late
hour in the night. It was accompanied with
frequeul squalls, hail, rain and snow. Great
damage was done to buildings and docks. The
Canada dock with Wilkes & Co.’s warehouse
was entirely destroyed ; Johnson's and the
City Elovator |were unroofed and otherwise
dumaged, and tho roofs of the Marine block
end the Central Railroad depot were consider
ably injured.
The water rose in the afternoon and flooded
tho docks and entered the cellars in the lower
part of the city, doing considerable damage.
Throughout tho city there have been many
disaetors.
The spire and southwest section of the Dis
trict School House, No. 2, were blown off.
Four one story buildings, and partly unfinish
ed, on Shunway street, and two on Peckham
street were entirely destroyed.
Several other buildings were unroofed and
otherwise injured. Two of the turrets of the
LaFayetto Church wore blown down dur
ing the service yesterday morning, and a por
tion of the roof broken in, and the building
sustained other damage—fortunately no one
was hurt.
The track of the Niagara Falls Railroad
along the Lake shore is torn up for a distance
of half a mile, and the embankment is washed
away. Communication will be enterruptod for
several days. The gale was the most severe
thatjhas been experienced here for years. Hap
pily no vessels were out on tho lake. The ex
tent of the damage is as yet unestimated.
Gen. Harney—Tha Seminoles.
(leu. Harney has called upon the Governor
of Florida for seveu companies of mounted vol
unteers in addition to those already in the ser-’
vice of the United States. Tho Floridian say 6:
The entire volunteer force will consist, per
hups, of a thousand men, the companies of
wbioh will operate independently of each oth
er, as no regimental organisation is expected
or desired.
Gen. Harney has commenced the arduous
duty of removing the Indians, in good oarnest;
and with his known activity, experience and
indomitable will no one doubts that he will
succeed ultimately, if not immediately. His
object is to terminate the wkr before spring,
and should he fail to do so, will give sufficient
protection to the frontier inhabitants, by tho
establishment of a cordon of forts across tho
Peninsula, to enable them to give proper at
tention to agricultural pursuits.
The requisition for an additional number of
volunteers by Gen. Harney, will relieve the
Htate of the uecossity, and consequently the
expense of an independent volunteer force,
thereby saving to tho State no inconsiderable
debt that would have embarrassed our pockets
and oredit lor many years to come.
For the Daily Sun.
Dr. Pillsbury’s Notes on Proverbs.
1. “ Experience is the beet teacher.”
No fault to find with Experience as a Teach
er, except that the tuition is altogether too
high.
2. “ Money make the mare yo.”
So far as the owner is concerned only; lor
some times the mare wont go, when the owner
would. And if he keen a fast one, it oftener
happens that the mare makes the money go.
15. “A bird in the hand is icorlh two in the bush”
This is especially true of jail-birds.
4. “ Necessity is the mother of invention.”
Well then—she has the largest family on re
cord, excepting the Devil, who is “ the father
of lies.” How it must “do her proud” to
visit the l’atent Office and see her numerous
children!
6. “ Misfortunes never come sinyly.”
Nor, often, do fortuues—for the matter of
; that—which is the reason why so many seek
j one by “doubling.”
(We might suggest to the unfortunate, that
people who cat oranges are apt to suck seed.)
6. “ Short settlements make lony friends.”
In cases of bequest, short settlements are
pretty sure to make enemies.
7. “ A miss is as good as a mile.”
A Mister thinks her as good as three —when
she agreed to “ make a league” with him.
8. “ What's done can't be undone.”
Every woman knows better than that; for
when her new dress is done, and sent home, it’s
undone immediately.
(P. S.—ls it isn’t done per agreement, in
time for the Ball, she thinks she’s “undone”
herself.)
9. “ Truth lies in the bottom of a well.”
Well! if Truth lies, there’s no knowing whom
to believe!
10. “It takes all sorts ofpeople to make a world.”
That accounts for “Col. Wood’s Museum,”
and the Author of Notes on Proverbs.
We see it stated in the Canada papers, says
the Charleston Standard, that a movement is
on foot in Canada, to secure the passage of an
act of Parliament, by which fugitive slaves
may be sent back to the United States. There
is no doubt but the people of Canada have had
sufficient illustration of the beauties of the ap
plication of freedom to the negro race, but it is
questioned whether, at present, they will be
able to overcome the prejudice which is spread
over the world against the institution of slave
ry. The fact above mentioned, however, is
enough to prove that the subjects of her Ma
jesty might be induced to return fugitive
slaves, provided it could be made plain to them
that it was for their interest to do so ; and a
sufficient answer to those who deny the possi
bility of a treaty of rendition between this
country and Canada.
Revival of the Slave Trade.
It is a great mistake to attempt to hold whole
communities or sections responsible for the ex
treme opinions of individuals. This remark
is made with a special application to the effort
now being made by the northern journals to
impress their readers with the belief that the
southern people are disposed to revivo the Af
rican slave trade, upon the mere ground that
Gov. Adams, of South Carolina, in his late
message, and a few other extremists at the
South, have suggested such a policy. The
same effort was made, to some extent, during
the Presidential canvass, by resorting to a to
tal and palpable pervesiou of the proposition
made in the Senate by a southern senator.
We observe, also, that the question of reviv
ing this odious traffic has received some atten
tion in the commercial convention now sitting
at Savannah, in which a few of the delegates
havo favored the suggestion of Gov. Adams.
We have given ourselves no concern on this
subject, because we aro too well acquainted
with southern sentiment not to know that all
the erroneous impressions made upon the
northern mind by the efforts of sectional agi
tors would in due time be effectually eradica
ted. That we are not mistaken in our antici
pations is already shown by the indications,
not only in the convention at Savannah, but in
the leading southern journals, which have
promptly and explicicitly condemned tho sug
gestion of Gov. Adams. We do not believe
that Gov. Adams is sustained by the sentiment
of his own State.— Washington Union.
Tho Union is right. Its advocates are few and
far between, outside of South Carolina; and
were wc to judge of that State by the action
of the Senato, we might also say, it meets with
little favor in South Carolina.
Out for a Change.
The Georgian is out in favor of the abolition
of custom houses and the support of the Fed
eral Government by direct taxes, levied upon
the people. If the tariff cannot bo abolished,
then it goes in for Mr. Toombs’ system, as sot
forth in his letter to the Commercial Conven
tion.
This is a bold move for the present day, on
the part of our neighbor, who is understood to
be the organ and representative of the Demo
cracy. We commend its cournge, and shall
look to the movements of its party towards
the desired consumation with no little interest.
With present lights, we shall feel constrain
ed to differ from our cotemporary on the sub
ject of direct taxation, but it is unnecessary to
discuss the policy until some definite move
ment shall have been made to ingraft it upon
the statute book, or, at least, to make it an is
.suc before the people.
Mr. Toombs’ project is local and not federal
in its design and operation, and is recommend
ed not as a substitute for the tariff as a system
of revenue for the Federal Government, but as
a domestic policy for raising revenue in the
Southern States, and promoting direct impor
tations. For the present we shall not discuss
the merits of Toombs’ letter, though we have
read it carefully and regard the views thereiu
set forth as liable to several serious objections,
both on the score of policy and practicability.
>Ve purpose to examine them in detail, at our
leisure. —Savannah Republican.
Preventative of Scarlet Pever.
A correspondent of the Boston Post sug
gests a simple preventative of scarlot fever.
He says, “Globule Belladenna, taken every
morning, by each and every member of a fam
ly--adults, children, servants and all inmates
—will certainly prevent the spread of this
dreadful disease in every household thut may
adopt it, as certainly as vaccinnation will pre
vent the small pox. Ton cents will purchase
year’s supply of any of our Homuepathists.
A wet finger applied to a globule and placed
upon the tongue of a child or adult, is all that
ia necessary to be done to prevent the spread
of this disease.
LETTER F3OM HON. R. TOOMBS,
TO TIIK COMMEIU'IAI. CONVENTION.
Washington, Ga., Dec. 6, 1806.
Gentlemen: 1 duly received your polite in
vitation to attend the Southern Convention
which will meet in Savannah ou.-tlie Bth inst,,
and it was my earnest wish ami purpose to be
present, but 1 note find I shall be disappointed.
The thought which gave birth to these Con
ventions, was to devise some plan by which
the South could secure her just share of out
foreign commerce, which is mainly supported
by her industry This end must be accom
plished —it is necessary to the wealth, the pros
perity, strength, and, therefore, the safety
of the slaveholding States It can be easily
speedily, and constitutionally accomplished.—
It cannot be done by voluntary commercial
associations; it will not be done through the
general government, but it can be. clone, and
must be dene, by law. Federal legislation has
been one of the most important agencies which
lias driven foreign commerce away .from, our
ports; State legislation cau bring it back, and
| nothing clso cun, as long as this Union exists.
! The power of the State Government to tax
without limit, all items of material wealth
within her jurisdiction, is clear, unquestioned
and unquestionable. The Federal Courts have
expressly and repeatedly affirmed it. A State
cannot, under the Federal Constitution, lay
duties on imports, but she can tax all imported
commodities oliered for sale within her limits.
Not only every State in the Union, but even
every municipal corporation, authorized to do
so by the State legislation, has exercised this
power from the foundation of this Government
to this day. It is at this moment exercised by
some of tho States, greatly to our advantage.
Take for example a bale of woollen cloth im
ported from England into New York, there pur
chased by a Georgia morchant; and sold here
to one of our citizens. This bale of goods pays
the Federal Treasury thirty per cent, ad va
lorem, then it pays a State tax to the treasury
of New York ; then it pays this year, one and
theee-eights per cent, to the municipal treasu
ry of the city of New York; then it comes to
Georgia and pays to our State treasury one
tenth of one per cent ; thus, besides the bur
thens imposed on it by the Federal govern
ment and the State government of New York,
even the city government levies nearly four
teen times as much out of it as we do in Geor
gia. These taxes are, of course, incorporated
into the price, and become a part of the price,
and arc paid by the Georgia consumer. It is
tho duty of our legislature to see to it, that our
people shall pay no tax except those levied by
the authority of the General government, or
that of our own State. It is not our duty to
pay the expenses of the municipal governments
of New York, or Boston, and it will be our
fault and our folly, if we continue to do it.—
Direct importations will cure this evil as to
foreign commodities ; a like remedy will cure
it as to domestic products. Let us first secure
direct trade. This can be done by imposing a
State tax of— per cent ad valorem upon all
goods, wares and merchandize ottered for sale
within the State, other than those which shall
be imported from foreign countries. Two ob
jects should govern in filling the blank ? Ist.
It should be high enough to prevent all indirect
importation of foreign merchandize. 2d. It
should be high enough to raise sufficient reve
nue for all the wants of the State, without im
posing upon the people any capitation or other
direct tax whatever. If five per cent tax was
imposed upon all such merchandize, it is not
probable that the importers of foreign mer
chandize intended for our consumption would
land them at any other ports than our own, at
the cost of fifty thousand dollars in every mil
lion imported; and if they did, some other
wiser people would import similar commodities
directly, and undersell them, and thus drive
them out of our markets. But if we should
be mistaken in the proper amount of taxation
to effect this object, we should raise the tax
until it did accomplish it. The power is un
limited—the object is invaluable. The second
object is scarcely less important than the first.
The most striking difference between the legis
lation of the State Federal Government is to be
seen in the parsimony of the one and the pro
fuseness of the other. The treasury of the
Federal Government is usually overflowing,’
and nobody complains of it. Congress employs,
three-fourths of its time in devising means to’
get rid of its redundant revenue. Salaries are
high, and of late are almost annually increased,
and an utter disregard of economy marks our
entire Federal legislation. On the other hand,
the State treasuries are generally empty, the
States burthened with oppressive debts, which
some of them have even repudiated rather than
impose the necessary burthens by direct taxa
tion, to pay them. State officers are poorly,
even meanly paid, and consequently, the Fed
eral Government is fast drawing into its ser
vices the ablest and best men of the country,
to the great detriment of the interests of the
States. The people are constantly crying out
for lavish expenditure, and Oven for taxation
by the General Government, and as constantly
and more vociferously crying out against both
by the State Governments. Yet they pay all
taxes to both governments ! The State expen
diture is generally equal and just, and for the
benefit of all the tax payers ; the expenditure
of the General Government, on tho contrary is
generally unequal, unjust and for tho benefit
of a few only of the tax payers! The people of
Georgia pay less than four huudred thousand
dollars to their State treasury, and that
is paid reluctantly and grudgingly. Assuming
that their payment to the Federal treasury is
only in equal proportion to their numbers,
they pay into it the sum of above three millions
of dollars annually; yet they arc content !
The secret of this singular inconsistency is to
bo found in the mode of levying the taxes—■
i and in that alone. The Federal Government
’ levies its taxes indirectly tl)o State levies hers
I directly. This is just what 1 propose to do.—
I Levy our taxes on consumption; it can be
move easily paid ; we shall then fill our trea
sury to the extont of our wants, protect our
selves against the unjust legislation of our sis
ter States, bring direct trade to our ports, givo
profitable employments to our capital and la
; bor, educate our people, developo all our re
sources, ami build up great, powerful and
prosperous commonwealths, able to protect tho
people from all dangers from within and from
without. Ido not propose to go into the de
tails of the proposed legislation—the wisdom
of our State Legislature will readily perfect
them. We already levy a portion’ of our reve
nue in this manner; I propose to levy it all.
It needs no custom houses. Lay tho tax on all
commodities except those imported from
abroad, the State can easily provide forstamp
ing and certifying the exempted goods ; this
evidence must be shown by the seller, or the
whole stock is taxed. It would exempt the
merchandize brought to our ports for con
sumption in other States. The drawback sys
tem of the General Government furnishes a
well tried plan for effecting that object. What
ever other exemptions, policy, or the interests
of some of our sister States may demand, I
submit to the Convention, and the wisdom of
the representatives of the people.
1 am very icspectfully.
Your obedient servant.

A Remarkable Escape.
On oponing the door of Mr. Gonzales’ Book
Bindery, in the rear of our Printing Rooms,
this morning, it was discovered that a ‘chunk’
had rolled down on the floor, during the night,
and burned a hole, about a foot square, through
the floor. The fire then very considerately
went out, though the plank burned was a rich
pine, and the room was filled with the odor of
tar. Had the fire taken good hold, it would
probably have destroyed a large portion of the
business part of Montgomery. —Montgomery

■ Mr. Gonzales should bo more particular in
the arrangement of his “chunks’ before leav

The Cincinnati Gazette—an abolition paper
—in a recent article upon the rapid growth of
the Northwestern States, says that “the time
is not distant (let all doughfaces take warning)
when they will dictate terms to this nation—
terms that will be quite different from the pro
slavery manner in which this government has
been managed. We can afford to bide our
time.’ The begining of the end ha* come, and
the end itself will soou be here—the period
when there will be no bowing down to the dog
ma of slavery.” Here is a very good picture
of the part the South will play in the future of
this glorious republic. These same North
western States, the census says, increases in
population at the rate of nino per cent, per an
num. How long, at this rate, will it be neces
sary to give to this abolitionist portion of the
Union the power to do what is here threatened
they will do—what the most recent events
shows us they wait but for the power to do ?
