CO 3L U M BUB: Turnday Morulng, Dfc. 30, I,ARGEST CITY CIRGOLATIOS. The Weather. Al'U'VanluioleraMo cold gjpeTl the weather has again assumed a mihl form, and it an old uimnmey would awaken into life he would surely assort it as the month ol smiles and tears.’ For tho mutual benefit of the printers and the needy, we shall make no objections if old Borens shall make no more peregrinations from the North until our wood sellers have a fond arid feeling remembrance for the poor. Vec Iwe say more? - Well Treated. We are more than obliged to Messrs. J. 11. Thomas, ('ora, and particularly mi til (the lie |ilns ultra ot good fellows) for the clever way they put us through on Christmas day.- Srniih i a Htiiifh without doubt. ♦ Trading with Negroes. There i.s 100 much of this going oh in our i iiy for the general welfare of the community.

We know the .State laws are strong enough against tho prac tice, but what officer can you get to enforce it, c,i put ii in train for enforcement? And those negro establishments, however, they may attempt to blind the proprietorship can be sounded by making the ‘•guardians take (lie book. “Avaunt! a. vaunt ! dark nets avaunt!'’ ♦ Free Fighting! We arc sorry to perceive a disposition among some of the candidates for county offi ces to pitch into one another. In the name, of common sense, can they not await for the election day to decide who isthe best man? . . . T he editor of the Natchez (Miss.)

Yesterday forenoon a collision took place near the Oglethorpe corner between a horse of Mr. • ‘rim and one of Mr. Todd, (both Western trader ,) which resulted in the death of Mr. Todd’s horse. It appears that Mr. (.'rim was driving on the plank road from the direction ‘if the Muscogee Bail Road Depot, and Mr. field's horse, driven by his boy, was coming up < igliTliorpe, both driving at high speed. I tom some cause, they did not observe each other until too late. The shaft of Mr. (Trim s buggy was driven into Todd’s horse just behind (he right shoulder and struck the heart, caus ing death almost instantly. Sudden Death. The tiue Cream horse of (\ S. Hart & Cos., while being driven at a moderate gait on Broad street yesterday, was taken suddenly ill, fell to tho ground and died almost instantly. T hought, to be an affection of the heart. Florida Senator. The Mon. S. It. Mallory, was, on the 24th instant, re-elected United States Senator, by the Florida Legislature, for four- years from the 4Mi of March next. Hotting Hold. A letter from .Montgomery informs us that >u Saturday night last, the keeper of negro pukery situated on the South Flank Road in the outskirts of the city, shot three of the coun try putrol, wounding them slightly. The wri ter ays thorc was a good deal of talk on the streets on Sunday about it, and the indications ate that it leads to the breaking up of all such lames iu and around the city. The keeper of the deu was committed to Jail. Montgomery has been liberally cursed with mi oil dens of iniquity for years, and in cominou with her good citizens, we hope the commence ment, of the end of their reign is at hand. We should like to see a step towards reform ation in this respect, commence in this city. ♦ ——. Serious Kail Koad Accident. We learn from the Carolinian, that the Un ion and Spartanburg train met with a seriouj i oideut on Saturday the 20th inst., near Ash ford Ferry. A car which was out of order n> its ruiiuiug gear, is considered us to have been the cause. The passenger car was thrown from the track, down an embankment some fifty feet, rolling over three times, and becom ing a total wreck. Os fifteen or eighteen pas singers, most of them were more or less hurt. Mr. I'rice of N. C. and l)r. Wright and Mr. tobn Henderson, were injured but not serious ly. Mi*s Sims and brother severely cut. V nin e of Mrs. K. Elmore, of Montgomery, ii> I her mistress’ infant in her lap, and when site found tho car falling over, she clasped the infant to her bosom uud cried out, ‘I will live in die with you, my baby”—and faithfully protected her charge. Another child of Mrs. l! was wived by the kind Hid of a gentleman whose name is unknown. —■ - —*♦- Tornado. The Marion (S. Cl.) Star says* frightful tor nado passed through the upper portions of Marion District, Some few days since. Con siderable damage was done to timber aud fences, iiut fortunately no lives were Inst, though ■r.any persons narrowly escaped. Some lew houses were blown down aud their contents pitilessly’ scattered about by the wind. In one ,nstance a carpet bag was taken aud carried a distance of one ihilo before it touched tbe gt ound. Negroes the Sufferers. The excitement, iu Tennessee, regarding a revolt lias subsided. All the slave churches have been closed, and no holiday was allowed the negroes in lining sections, the past Christ mas. The free negroes are being driven out of several sections of the State, on penalty of death if they remain. This has ended the in cendiary efforts of fiends who have entailed on tlieir deluded victims a loss of the enjoyment they once possessed, and in many instances have consigned them to the gallows. In Ken tucky and elsewhere all disturbances have been effectually quelled by the violent death of the leaders, and nil excitement has disappeared. Hoads up in Nicaragua. (Jen. Walker has written a letter to a friend in New York, dated Doc. Ist, in which he says; “1 consider that pur power in Central America never has been on so firm a basis as now. Nor do 1 know of one single month, since 1 have been in Nicaragua, wherein we have made so much progress towards final results as the month which has just ended.” Judging from the accounts which have reached the United States, We should be inclined to agree with the General. If these accounts be cor rect, progress certainly lias been madotowards a final result, but we fear, not that contempla ted by the General. ♦ - Tho Transit Company and Gen. Walker. Tho Accessory Transit Company has taken the offensive against General Walker and his supposed confederates iu the Nicaraguan bu siness. An order Inis been issued for the ar rest of Charles Morgan, Cornelius K. Garrison and William Walker, iu a suit brought in the United States court—the gravamen whereof is their alleged conversion of the goods and chat tels of the company to the valuoof $1,000,000. Further damages to this trespass to the amount of $1,000,000 more are also claimed. At the same time the other side is not idle. Anew suit was commenced on Saturday in the Su preme court, in which the plaintiffs ask for the appointmeps of a receiver of the effects of the Company. The ordsr for the arrest of Mo 1 ’ gau, Garrison and Walker, is made in the name of the President of the United States, that being usual form, but of course lie had nothing to do with its issue, it is a law pro ceeding altogether, and the order of arrest can only be executed against such of the parties as are within the United States. ♦ - Lighting Cars by Gas. The Chicago Free Press says this important invention is the work of Messrs. Mill Ac Deinn rest of Rochester, New York. It is the work of years of study and experiment; and yet the machinery is exceedingly simple. Under the Hour of each car is placed a gas-holder, which consists of two tubes shaped like a cigar, each with a diaphragm of India rubber, separating the tubes into compartments. Connected with the holder is a dry metre, which serves to pump air into the holder, and thus forces the gas into the pipes which connect with the holder, and so up into the cars. This metre is placed on the cars. The process of filling the holder with gas is very simple. The pipe is fastened to the receiver of the holder, which as it fills presses the air out of the other compartment the diaphragm of India rubber being pressed flat to the side of the tube. The process of forcing the guss out. of the holder is exactly the same—-with this differ ence, that the dry metro is required to pump the air into the holder. As the air is pumped into it the gas is forced out, and the rubber dia phragm is pressed to one side of the tube or holder; while as the gas is let in at one pipe the air is forced out at another, and the dia phragm is pressed to the opposite side of the holder. No amount of shaking or freezing disturbs it, and wet or dry, cold or hot, the gas is the same. Notwithstanding tho comfort which attaches to this invention, the saving to railroad com panies, is a desideratum not to he overlooked. It will not cost anything like the sum now ex pended in oil lumps, &c. Precarious Condition of the Lower Part of San Francisco. On tho evening oftlic lGtli ult., several men were sitting in a frame building on Clay, near Fast-street, when they felt the walls shaking, and they rushed into the street. The next moment the piles which supported the house gave way, and the building fell with a crash into the bay beneath. Within a few minutes afterwards the adjoining buildings, extending from Clay to Commercial streets, to the*extent of about two hundred feet square, also gave way and fell in, together with their contents, creating a general wreck. Several men who were in these houses were precipitated into the bay, and received severe contusions, but in no case did the injuries received prove fatal to life. Tho stores were all occupied by pro duce dealers. The total, including the build ings on Commercial street, and others on Cluy stvuet, was about ijil6,ooo. The cause of this catastrophe was attributed to the [famous boring worms, which had for so long a time been eating away und destroying tho founda tions of the lower part of the city. ♦ Human Nature They tell u good story of two bachelors down Fast who lived a sort of cal and dog life, to their neighbor’s discomfort, for a good many years, but who hud been at campmeeting were slightly oonvorted, and both of them con cluded to reform. “Brother Toni,” says one, wheu they hud arrived at tlieir home, “let us sit down and I’ll tell you what we’ll do. You tell me all of ih,v faults and I’ll tell you all of youru, and so we will know how to get about mending of ’em.” “Good! ” says Brother Tom. “ Well, you begin.” “No, you begin, Brother Joe.” “Well, in the first place, you know, Brother Toni, you will lie! ” Crack goes brother Tom’s paw between brother Joe’s “blinkers,” and a considerable of a “scrimmage” ensues, until, iu tho course of about ten minutes, neither being able to couie to time, reformation is postponed sine die. —— A Fortunate Traveler. It is stated that a German, with whom Bay ard ‘J’aylor formed a friendship, has recently conveyed to him as a free gilt, an estate near the Thuringinn forest, which contains a bean tiful residence, built iu 17(5*1 by one of tbe ministers of Ernest 11 from Porter’s Spirit of Tim OUli BABY. We bavo a baby Mown to our house, a real bone tide blinking baby ; that is, if the pim pled, wrinkled, squinting piece of squirm, hid den away beneath those billows of lace unit flannel, cun be called a baby, against tbe sup position of which (if I did not know u thing or two. and hadn't been there before,) l should be inclined to file an objection. We certainly have got a baby ; the intelligence of which was conveyed to me by a round-eyed, wonder-strick en urchin, which was the baby till this morn ing, in the following glowing terms ; “Oil! Aunt Marian, we’ve gut a baby down t’our house. Papa says the Doctor saw its little legs hanging through the limb of the great tree on the common, and picked it off’ for mania! Wan’t he good?” Os course,'l subscribed to the goodtiess part of it, sadly re membering the time when our down east ba bies were gotton up upon a similar lofiy scale, and tying my bonnet, hastened home to wel come the stranger, that liad so cavalierly step ped in during my absancc. Tommy was theie before ino, and with eyes bigger than ever, was standing at the nurse’s knee : evidently try ing to solve the question whether the baby’s fists were doubled up to bit him a punch, or to snub bis own nose, tbo rough way of the world. A bran new baby! Do you know what its advent is into tho heart and home of a happy family ? The mother laving iu that bed of suffering which reduces all women, from tbe queen to the beggar, to the common level of humanity. The mother that we ap proach so reverently, feeling that a human soul has been sent from Heaven via lier mater nal bosom, and that from her hands will He who sent it require a strict account of its guardianship while passing its life through this world of chance and changes. What re sponsibility ! a greater one than we, who long for that new emotion of holy motherhood, which has never been uceorded us, are at all conscious of it. Were we so, we, who know to its core, every throb of the world’s heart, who have lived through its Storm and calm, who knowhow unsubstantial its pleasures, how poignant its woe ! 1 say, could we know the responsibility of transplanting to its sunshine and shade ono single blossom from the garden of God, we should pray more fervently than ever we prayed for its reality, to be spared that trust which we might so inefficiently ful fill. But there, to see our new baby, to see everybody tip-toeing in-everybody but Tommy, who never having been accustomed to walking on eggs, don’t exactly see why he should be gin now—to see them all so gleeful over baby, so pitiful to mama—poor mama, laying there so pale and wan—to see them joking pa, and calling him a “terrible fellow,” to which Tom my is surprised on looking up, to perceive that papa looks rather proud than angry at being called such a hard name. His little heart swells for papa, he looks at old Mrs. Grundy very much as if he thought it wouldn’t be safe for her to call him such a name if he was a man. Then when they are all gone, all the inquisitive ones, “Harper” is brought in, and 1, cuddling down on the side, of the bed, and laughing in my sleeve to see how carefully ba by is given to nurse for fear that Marian should mash it, read to them that dear sensi ble, “Old Bachelor’s Reverie,” so appropriate to our thoughts and emotions. What an inter est we take in Tom and Mary’s baby—not that we think it can begin to hold a caudle with ours—how we read over and over again all the quaint like passages, sometimes stopping to laugh heartily at queer jokes, so pretily word ed, —heartily, so far as Tommy and I are con cerned—mama only smiles the faintest ghost of a smile, but her eyes are wet, and that is a greater compliment still. I’m not competent to say whether papa is laughing or not. It is a great queer sort which brings bis pocket handkerchief into requisition. But after a swallowing, and something which sounded very like a .soli, I have his word for it that he has “laughed over it till he cried.” That would pass well enough, but his heels coming down in near proximity to the baby’s nose, nurse gave him a propeller which turns his tune, and sends him crying to the kitchen. Mama says, “Poor Tommy,” and papa immediately starts for him. It evidently takes a loug time to find him, for half an hour passes, when he returns with Tommy and a pair of red-eyes, trying to assert very manfully that papa’s boy wasn’t going to have his nose put quite out of joint for all the new babies in the world. (Juiet once more restored, we return to the discussion of the article we have been reading. They need not tell mama; she knows nobody but a father ever wrote that article. “Why, how could it be,” she says ; how could any body but a fa ther know so exactly a father’s feelings. Oh, it was no bachelor that wrote it—they couldn’t make her believe that. Then Aio smiles on papa, and papa when he thinks X don’t see him, smiles on her, and takes her poor bloodless hand presses it to his lips, places it iu his bo som until, poor me, who don’t see him anyhow (who wouldn’t be hired to see him, who has lived long enough to know what eyes are made for, and wheu to see and when not to see,) choke up worse thau papa did, and making for my own chamber for tear as L say, that my cough would waken baby, have just a magnifi cent cry, with nothing in the world to cry for, only because everything is so affecting, the bachelor’s articles in “Harper,” and our arti cle—that’s the baby in the cradle—and papa aud mama over tlieir new-born happiness and new-born affection. And 1 think of him who wrote “Mother and child are doing well,” which set us all going at such a rate; aud I wonder if he is really a bachelor : if he insn’t “Tom” himself; and if Mary and baby are not his exclusive property. Then 1 think, what a thing it is to be able to write words touching home-chords with such a pleasurable melody, Htid much 1 would rather be capable of writ ing touching little things, like that, than the most skillful, scientific or romantic books that ever were writtcu. Then 1 think I wouldn’t mouoh uiiud seeing. It I did, especially just in my present mood, 1 should put my two hands iu his (or my arms around his neck, I haven’t quite decided which) and ask him, if, with all the fatherly feelings, he really was a bachelor; and if so, advise him on the short est notice practicable to get him a wife and a baby, and with them a free pass to all the homo enjoyments which he so exactly describes.— Oh, 1 tell you a miiu never shows his points till a bit of humanity, bone of his bone, and fiesli of his flesh, lays helplessly in his arms, lie never knows himself, till the dear one he has chosen from out the world to walk with him the pilgrimage of life, lays for the first time before him, weak and pale, with this mor sel of humanity on her bosom. The promises they make to tlieir own heart, that no wrong of tlieir doing “hall ever give a pang to that gentle bosom!—that no path of pleasure shall be pleasant enough to lure their feet from the portals of their own home; but, ulus! (there must be an alas! to everything in this world) new babies get to lie old ones—fresh promises fade in the light of fresher pleasures—and mail “being inconstant ever.” would require a ‘new baby’ every week or two to make tbetn toe (lie mark of all tbe promises they make. As it W’ nldti't be quite so convenient for us to ac comm Ii to ourselves pi such requirements, we must tskw tbe will for the deed. Babies are great institutions, though ; at least ours is.

The many extraordinary instances of the devotion Os the dog to his master, now on re cord, seem too much for the belief of most of men, but the following was told us by a gen tleman well acquainted with the circumstances and many others in this vicinity can vouch for the truth of the statement. Charles Hueston, a man well known on the Alabama river, but for the last few years a resident of California, was killed by the explo sion of a steam-boat near San Francisco a few months since. A noble Newfoundland dog owned by him, escaped injury, and dragged the body of his master to the shore. The dog was sent home to the mother of the deceased residing in Perry county, Alabama. On being shown a daguerreotype of his lost master, the dog immediately recognized it, and commenced licking it, aud sending up the most piteous howls, since that time lie has refused all food, and moans constantly. When last heard from ho was in a dying condition, aud is probably dead by this time. W'here, in human history, can be found such an instance of devoted love, and intense grief at the loss of a loved one ? —Selma Reporter. ‘ A Miss Ray, of Lowell, has obtained SI,OOO damages in a breach of jwomise case. The Cambridge Chronicle explains that “the com paratively low figure at which the damage was set, resulted from the influence of a rusty old ‘bach’ on the jury, who, totally ignorant of connubial felicity, possessed no more qualifi cation to decide a claim of that nature than an oppossum or kangaroo! ” Tribute of Respect.
