COLUMBUS: Monday Morning, Mrch 8, 1857. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. Broke Jail. Three men, Miller confined on the charge of Murder, and Gourd and Heygood for horse stealing made their escape from the Jail in Dalton, Ga., on the 27th ult. The Spriug Term of the Circuit Court of Chambers Cos., Ala., convenes to-day and holds two weeks. Judge Rapier will preside. The criminal docket is light. So says the Tribune. Homicide in Chambers. An affray occurred at Brumbelow’s Store, in the northeastern part of Chambers county, Ala., last week between a young man named Tarpley, and Mr. Thomas Robinson—resulting in the death of the latter, who was stabbed to the heart. - - Brunswick Bail Rood. The Tfcoraaaville Enterprise of the 3d in stant, says forty hands have recently left Thomas county to commence work on the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road beyond the Altamaha, under the direction of Thomas & M. B. Jones, James T. Hayes, and Thomas & L, Wyche, gentlemen of wealth and influence. When the contract for 54 miles is complete to the Alapaha, says the Enterprise, men stand ready to grade the Road to Thoransville with out cessation. - Seduction in Freights. From an advertisement in the Savannah pa pers, we see that the rates of freight from Sa vannah to Knoxville, and all stations on the East Tennessee and Georgia Rail Road, have been reduced to wit: First Class per 100 lbs $1,15 Hecond “ “ 100 “ SI,OO Third “ “ 100 “ 80 Special Rates per 100 lbs $2,30 Verdict for Damages. Dr. J. W. Paxon, of Knoxville, Tenn., ob tained a verdict of S2OOO at the late term of the court of Knox county, against the Mayor and Alderraeu of that city, for injury sustained by the cutting down of the streets around his residence. The Mayor and Aldermen have appealed to the Supreme Court. — Taxation in Jamaica. The Jamaica Journal ofthe 11th ult., says, the subject has been agitated of the abandonment of direct taxation, with a view of getting rid of the difficulty, the uncertainty, the expense, the inconvenience and unpleasantness attend ing its collection, and substitute a more simple and easy process, by means of indirect taxa tion, which can be more equally distributed and cheerfully contributed. Important Will Case. The Athens Banner says the Superior Court of Jackson county Ga., was occupied the great er part of last week in the investigation ofthe “Martin Will Case.” It appears that William D. Martin, a bachelor, 84 years of age, died in Jackson several years ago. and left an estate worth sixty or seventy thousand dollars to the Academy and Church of Jefferson and various citizens of the county, cutting off his relations, who resided in Virgiuia. They commenced a suit for the recovery of the property and have succeeded in setting aside the wil). Time Expired. It has somehow leaked out that, in Mr. Buchanan’s opinion—and his opinions are cer tainly worth something in such matters—the time of all office holders under appointment from the President expired with the adminis tration on the 4th iustaul. This we think a very correct view, and its practice by the new President will no doubt have a wholesome ef fect iu stimulating outsiders to work with less reserve for the ascendancy of party principles. It is anew feature in the programme and will no doubt give uneasiness to mauy an occupant who thought himself safely ensconced in the public crib four years longer, and cause him to sleep loss quiet till anew commission, or a dismission, reaches him. This, if it be true, is one feature in the new administration we heartily approve. The term “removod,” we always thought inappropriate, used in connection with the appointment of a sucoessor to the incumbent who held under a former administration. By “ expiration of term” will hereafter be the popular phrase. The Garroters are after Us. In its issue of the 7th instant the Enquirer, in a way evidencing its acknowledged dotage, says: “ The enterprising manufacturers of tlio ar ticle in Columbus have presented to oue of our city editors a rope, which he pretends is desig nated for a ‘ clothes ’ or ‘plow-line but who ever heard of an editor that could nfford to keep a plow-horse, or had such a superabun ■ dance of clothes as to requiro a line to hang (hem on? The compliment is (as Mr. Weller would say,) ‘as insinuating as a corkscrew,’ and we would advise our verdant cotemporary not to venture on the strength of it.” .lust as much as one could expect from an old cynical bachelor ! He is singularly of the single number, and does not come under the list of those who are eutitled to be hung with a most approved kind of home made rope, manufactured from the great staple of the South. We have past the time which, it is said, tries the soul of man, and have no desire to terminate our useful existence. Our wiser half says she can put the rope to a better use than that intimated by our cotemporary. However, as the rope is very long—there be ing several more feet of length than our ward robe of linen actually needs—we are willing to give the overplus to those who have been j disappointed iu receiving their richly merited quota. In the case of our ripe cotemporary being gratuitously unsupplied by the manufac turers, we will oblige him to the amount of six feet of the double and twisted end, for his own j future or present use. lloni soil qui mal y ptnee. Jacob W. Bailey, an eminent Professor of 1 Chemistry and Natural Sciences in the United States Military Academy at West Point, died recently. Cupidical Morceau. We were favored a few duys since with the presentation of the following specimen of cor respondence. The fair writer, aside from her original style of orthography, is quite devoted in her wishes for her “ lovycr.” As the thing speaks for itself we give it verbatim et literatim —only suppressing names. We join in the expression of the hope “ My doer rnr D***is will tak cer of himself” from a “ relaps Jackson oonty fobida, February 18. my Deer mr D***ia I now tak my pen in han to let you now that I am well at this tim an hopen thes fu lines wil fin you well I hav heard that you was very sick an 1 Cood not her from you an I thot that i wood rit to you an her from you es I Can I thot thati wood rit to you an let you now that I had not forgot ! you yeat doo tak good car of your self when you get better es you tak relaps I am afrad that you will not git well I lik you well I lik you better I long for your return you must excuse my bad riten spellin I will try to doo better next time omr D***is 1 am In hops that you hant very sick every night when I li down all for to tak my rest O the gref an sot o that rols A Cross my brest hit is more than inny hart or inny tung Can tell far well far well my only frind I have not got much tim to spend I hop we will met Agan my frind my pen is bad my ink is pal my love to you shal never fal do pray tak cher of your self so round as the ring that 1 liv in 1 hop my Der frind I will se you agan 1 must com to a close nothin more at this tim reman your friend Nota beny did yew git the yarn sox I cent yew Prices of Negroes. A friend of ours, says the Mail, who knows the parties mentioned, hands us the following, explanatory of the present high price of ne groes here. If a hand can make S7OO in North Carolina or Virginia, raising tobacco, he is of course worth more to his owner there than he would be to the planter here, even with cotton at 12 cents. It is well known that the tobacco raising portions of the States named above, furnish a majority of the negroes brought for sale, to this part of the Southwest: Extraordinary Prices Paid for Tobac co.—lt comes to us from unquestioned author ity, that Capt. A. Slade, of Caswell, N. C., and his two brothers, have sold their entire crops of tobacco, lugs included, to a Lynchburg man facturer, for the extraordinary price of $35 per hundred lbs. Captain Slade, we are infor med, estimates his crop at 18,000 or 20,000 lbs. It is the product of the labor of some ten hands. If it should turn out to be 20,000 lbs., he will realize from each laborer the unprece dented sum of S7OO. Can the cotton fields of Louisiana, the sugar plantations of Cuba, the rice fields or the turpentine disticts of the Car olinas, boast of larger profits? From Central America. By the arrival of the steamship Columbus, at Panama, the Star (says the Picayune) has advices from Guatemala to the 28th January, San Salvador to the Ist of February, and Costa Rica to the sth. The Columbus, among her passengers, had twelve deserters from W'alker’s army. The Star furnishes a summary of the news from which we copy as follows: We learn from Capt. Dow, ofthe Columbus, that a vessel of the allied squadron under com mand of Admiral North, had captured a schoo ner belonging to Chris. Lilly, whilst engaged in conveying supplies to Walker. The schoo ner had been taken into La Union, where Lilly and his partner, Yates, were kept prisoners of war. Lilly was in irons on board the vessel of the allies, and was to be sent to the city of of Guatemala for trial. The Columbus brings no reliable news from Walker’s camp later than that received by the steamer Orizaba. There is not much enthusiamsm felt by the people of San Salvador in the Nicaragua ques tion. A fear prevails that when Walker is got rid of, internal dissensions between the States will tend to provent a restoration of tranquil ity. The extra of the Boletin Oficial of Costa Rica, of February 3d, states that the point of Trinidad, on the San Juan river, was occupied by four hundred Costa Ricans, well armed and provisioned. Rumors were current that 180 filibusters, with a small steamer and eighteen boats, were about to make an attack on Trini dad. On the 28th, the report of cannons was heard at Serapiqui, proceeding from some place down the river. It was supposed to b 6 the at tack made by Don Francisco Alvarado and Capt. Spencer on the filibusters. The road between Serapiqui and Trinidad was open and in the hands of Costa Ricans, who used it to transport supplies and military stores. Shad. Some doubt the existence of this favorite fish, in the Coosa; but of a certainty they are here, though small and scarce. We were raised in a shad country, and we know the fish; and this week, we had one on the table, caught here in the Coosa, on the traps of Mr. Si. Smith & Cos. The first shad of the season, at the head of navigation.— Wetumpka {Ala.) Dispatch. The Colonel ought to have said, small, scarce, and very bony. ■ ♦ Singular Delusion. The Savannah News hears that a citizon of Bryan county has recently been victimized by a Gipsey fortuue teller “to the tune” of about $1,500 As we learn, the old gentleman was afflicted with rheumatism, and was supersti tious enough to invoke the aid of a wandering Gipsey woman who professed that with certain charms, “conjurations and mighty magic,” she could cure him of his malady. She in formed him that the potency of her charm de pended very much on the amount of money he possessed at the time. He had but SSOO, but iu order to strengthen the charm he came to the city and borrowed SI,OOO. The $1,600 was placed in the hands of the Gipsey, who, after some mummery over it—during which her victim was not to look at her for fear of spoiling the charm, placed it in a trunk, which was to remain locked for a certain time, at the expiration of which the miracle would be I wrought. Leaving the key with the invalid, with a solemn injunction not to open the trunk ! until the expiration of the time, she took her departure. After some days, the woman not returning, and her dupe experiencing no relief, he ventured to look into the trunk, where he \ found a bundle of rags and paper, instead of I his treasure. Os course his “charmer” had | left for unknown parts. But we learn that j through the active instrumentality of the city ! sheriff, the womnn and a Gipsey rogue who accompanied her, have been arrested at At- ; lauta. Her trick is an old one, ami was re cently played off, perhaps by the same woman, in Maryland and Virginia. Pigeon Shooting in Texas. A letter to the Petersburg Express, from Huntsville, Texas, gives the following account of a Pigeon slaughter in Walker county : I took my first hunt during the past week, and at night. In company with nine gentle men, 1 went out in the country to a distance ol ten miles, and struck a camp near the pigeon roost, nbout dusk. When within three miles of the roost, I heard a noise resembling an ap proaching hurricane. I was told it was the pigeons preparing to roost, but until I neared the place, I could not believe it. The roost extended five miles in length and one mile in width. When they would fly the noise resem bled the blowing of a whirlwind, and when they would alight, the crash of the timbers was terrific. Broken limbs were lying in ev j ery direction. They were roosting in tall ! pines, and though the moon was shining bright ly, the sky could not be seen through the trees, so thick were the birds. At a given signal, all of us would fire into a tree, and the birds came down by scores. Our party killed over two thousand pigeons, filling fifteen large sacks. — Negroes were carried along to pick up the birds, and carry the sacks. This accouut may seem exagerated, t but if one were to try, he could not exaggerate the number of this singular bird in this section. — It is estimated that during their stay in this neighborhood, (about seven days,) there were 25.000 killed. If they had come before the pork season, they would have destroyed the mast for hundreds of miles around, and been of great injury to the country. Augusta in 1808. We have before us a file of the “Columbian Sentinel,” for 1807 and 1808, a paper pub lished in Augusta long ere the light of day dawned upon us, and from its issue of the 25th June, 1808, as theatricals are “all the go” in our city at present, we make a brief extract therefrom, for the benefit of our readers. It appears in that day there was a “Charles ton Company,” who, at the “Thespian Thea tre,” were advertised to play “The Curfew,” or the “Norman Banditti.” The Normans were represented by Messrs. Clark, Sully, Tennant, and Miss Field, Mrs. Tennant, Mrs. Clark, aud Mrs. I’lacide; the Danes, by Young, Siuder, Utt and McDonald; most of whom in that day ranked with the first upon the stage. Indeed, but few in England claimed a superiority over Young and Clarke, Mrs. Placide and Mrs. Clarke. The afterpiece on the same occasion was a pantomime, in whicli Sully appeared as “Har lequin,” and old Placide as the “Clown.” In the bill, the following “tricks and changes,” it was announced, would be performed: “The Magic Tree will change to a ‘ Pe destal,’on which ‘Harlequin’ is discovered. The Enchanted Chair, or the Lover’s Disap pearance. Laughable scene between Harle quin and the Clown, who is carried off on the prongs of a pitchfork. Harlequin’s Death, and the scene with the Skeleton Box, &c. The whole to conclude with Harlequin’s Renova tion, and a Hornpipe by Sinder.” Now this, all will admit, was a rich bill for Augusta in 1808, and will compare most fa vorably with the bills of most theatrical com panies, in this day of steam engines, railroads, and telegraphs. While in the latter Augusta is far ahead of what it was in 1808, we doubt much if its theatre can at all compare with what it was when Young, Placide and Clarke favored it with their periodical visits. From the advertising, we glanced to the edi torial columns of the same paper, and found but one item of editorial in it. It is short, and we publish it in cxtoriso: “Married, on Thursday evening last, by the Rev. Abraham Marshall, Captain Zachariah Williams to Mrs. Sarah Anderson, both of this city.” An editor in those days had but little to do. —Atlanta Examiner. The New Cent Coin. Congress has passed the bill and the Presi dent has signed it, providing for the coinage of cents of an entirely different appearance and composition from the copper coin which has so long been in existence. The Philadel phia Ledger says the new coin is certainly a great improvemet over the old, and it is not likely to fall into the discredit which the weight size, and the liability to corrosiveness of the copper cent so generally brought upon it. It is a convenient coin in size, aud is sufficiently distinctive not to be confounded with others of a different value. It is well executed, and the design is tasteful, though the eagle in full flight has something of the buzzardlike charac ter, which according to the London Times, is indicative of our national appetite for exten sive slices of others’ territory. There is a ra- pacious extension of the neck of the bird, which looks as if it were on a fillibustering ex pedition, and was just certain of seizing its prey. We shall not quarrel with the design when the intention of the coin is public con venience. and in this respect we think it can not be excelled. The intrinsic value of the new cent is about seventy-five per cent, of its nominal value, and the Government, therefore, can afford to coin the new cents, and redeem all the Spanish coins at par, without suffering any loss or subjecting the people to any. In a few days the Mint will be ready to distribute the new coinage, and the distribution will be made at the expense of the Mint; that is, the coin will be sent to the various cities whence the distribution takes place, and there, through the government agents, it will be paid out for Spanish coin, or for any other at the conve nience of the purchaser. Due notice will be given, by circulars and the newspapers, when, where, how, and in what quantities, the distri bution will be made. The copper coins issued from the Mint since it commenced operations, amount to one million eight hundred thousand dollars in value, and in weight eighteen hun dred tons. The new coin is nothing like as heavy as the copper coin, nor so likely’ to wear a hole in the pocket. This, of course, is favor able to economical habits, and will check any spendthrift tendency arising from the uncer tainty sometimes experienced of being able to keep one’s money safely. Important Secret. I will tell you a secret. The way to make yourself pleasing to others is to show that you care for them. The whole world is like the miller at Mansfield, who “ cared for nobody, no, not he—because nobody cared for him.” And the whole world will serve you so, if you give them the same cause. Let people see, therefore, that you do care for them, by show ing them the small courtesies of life, to which there is no parade, whose voice is too still to tease, and which show themselves by affection ate tones, kind looks and little acts of atten tion, giving others the preference in every I little enjoyment at the table, in the field, walk ! ing, sitting and standing. George Peabody, Esq., the great baukcr and I philantliropist, is now in Charleston, and will probably visit other cities South before his return. It is said the object of his tour South 1 is to see after, his interest in certain Florida State ll.iuds, payment on which has been re- I fused by the authorities of that State. TELE GR APHIC. Telegraphed for the Daily ~'uu. THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE, j ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA. COTTON DECLINED. New York, Murch 6. . The Royal Mail Steamship Persia has ar rived with advices from Liverpool to the 21st ultimo. After the departure of the Atlantic on the 18th, the market gave way, and a decline of |d. was submitted to by holders. The sales of the three days were confined to 12,000 bales, making the entire sales for the week 62,000 bales —and the advance for the week Jd. The Money market is reported easier. Con sols had undergone no change. From New York. New York, March 0. Cotton declinad a quarter to-day. Sales 4,000 bales. President Buchanan’s Cabinet. Washington, March 6. The following gentlemen were nominated to and confirmed by the Senate to-day as the Cabinet Council of Mr. Buchanan: Lewis Cass, of Michigan, Secretary of State. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, Secretary of the Treasury. Ex-Gov. Floyd, of Va., Secretary of War. Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi, Secretary of the Interior. Isaac Toucey, of Conn., Secretary of the Navy. Aaron V. Brown, of Tenn., Post Master General. Black, of Penn., Attorney General. The Public Debt, when Gen. Pierce became President, amounted to $71,879,937, caused by the Mexican war, the acquisition of terri tory, &c. There has been paid in debt and premium $45,825,319, and the balance of the debt now is $30,953,309 —all of which could be paid off during this year out of the surplus revenue, if the holders of the bonds would agi-ee to receive the money.

To those who are not aware that each par ticular hair on the head is a hollow tube, through which the fluids circulate which con vey nourishment, and impart its peculair shade of color, it seems incomprehensible how resto ratives can produce a renovating influence.— W'hile preparations of this nature were en trusted to quacks, and ignorant manufacturers of perfumes and cosmetics, much and irrepar able mischief was inflicted on many a credu lous and deluded sufferer. But when scien tific men like Profssor Wood, bring the lights of physiology and chemistry to bear upon the treatment of such specialties, the result is the complete success which the certificates of thousands of relieved sufferers bear testimony to.
