CPLUM BUS: 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.

The steamer Canada, from Boston, has ar rived out. The governments of England and France have agreed to re-assembling of the Paris Con ference, which will soon meet. The King of Prussia has made a speech at the opening of the Prussian Chancellors, in which ho used the strongest language relative to enforcing the claims on Neufchatel. The London Post says that if Russia per sists in asking a conference it can only result in confusion and diplomatic defeat, for all the other Powers are prepared to maintain the ab solute spirit and meaning of the very text of the treaty. An insurrection has taken place near Paler mo, under Baron Bentrenda, with 5,600 men. Troops were sent to disperse them. No fight ing as yet.

Washington, Dec. 16.—1n the House of to day the bills for the appropriation for civil and army lists were reported. The consideration of the Tariff has been postponed till the first Tuesday in January. Washington, Dec. 17.—The Senate to-day received from the President the nomination of Harrison, of Kentucky, as Chief Justice of Kansaa Territory vice Lecompte removod, and of W. H. Underwood, of Georgia, as Chief Jus tice of Nebraska Territory. The recent treaty with England relative to Central American atiairs, nnd an act to extend to one year the time of filing releases in the Texas debt, were passed. In the House, Hon. Percy Walker, of Ala bama, made a strong speech in vindication of Gen. AValker’s course. 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 Mail. ■ Mr. Gonzales should bo more particular in the arrangement of his “chunks’ before leav ing the shop. 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 ? A funny story is told of a man who stole a five dollar bill out in Indiana. His counsel tried to prove that the note was not worth five dollars, it being at a discount, in order to les sen tho crime. The prosecutor said ho knew the prisoner was the meanest man in the State but lie did not think he was so all-fired mean as not to be willing to stenl Indiana money at par. Court House Burnt. The Court House at Pulaski, Giles county, Tennessee, was destroyed by fire on the night of Saturday, the 6th instant. It was the hand Boniest edifice of the kind in the State, and cost not less than fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. Fortunately all the papers and re cords of the offices were saved.
