COLUMBUS: Wednesday Morning, March 11, 1857. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. The schooner S. J. Waring sailed on the 6th inst. from New York for Savannah. Receipts at New Orleans. The receipts of Cotton at New Orleans up to the evening of the 6th instant were 1,279,179 bales. Receipts on that day 1,744 bales. A letter was received at Columbia, S. C., on Sunday, stating that Ex-Gov. James P. Ad ams was lying very ill at Brown’s Hotel in Washington City. The Mobile Tribune is informed that the recent treaties concluded with Mexico were not suggested by the new Minister, Mr. For syth, but that he found them on foot when be arrived in the City of Mexico. They were started by Gen. Gadsden, the predecessor of Mr. Foraytli. Montgomery Messenger. The proprietor offers for sale half of the Messenger establishment. 110 is induced to do this, because the labor of conducting it pro perly, is too heavy for one person. The paper is already doing a fair share of business, and, with proper exertion, it will soon become valuable property. Ho says the amount of money required to make the purchase will be small. To a gentleman of education, business hab its and address, the situation opens a good field both for the acquirement of fame and competence. Sensible Appropriation. On the 20th ult. a resolution was passed in Congress and approved, appropriating $2,600 towards the expenses of inquiry to be made by two competent Commissioners into processes aud means, claimed to have been discovered by J. T. Barclay, for preventing the abrasion, counterfeiting and deterioration of tho coin, of the United States, and to report the results of the said inquiry to Congress at its next ses sion, aud with opinion as to tho probablo value of the alleged discoveries. Longevity. Tho Beacon says there lives near West Point, an old negro woman the property of Maj. George ltoese, of Chambers county, Ala., who is over a hundred years old—is active and sprightly-walks to town (a mile) very fre quently with ease and with but little fatigue eye sight good—does her own sowing, cooking ami other work, and can thread a needle with out the aid ot glasses. She was 25 years old during the Revolutionary war and remembers many of the incidents connected with that mem orable struggle. Turning the Tables. “ 1 he Speaker of the New Brunswick House ol Assembly undertook to horsewhip the editor of the St. Johns’ header for some comments upon his notes. But the editor took the whip liom him, nml the lion. Speaker had his hide loosened for his trouble.” Ibis is only one of the innumerable in stances wherein the “biter has been bitten.” The contempt and pity which an editor often exhibits for a brutal bully is no evident reuson that he will not defend himsolf from each and every assault. Because editors are peaceable citizens it is no reason they are cowards. As to insults, they generally follow out in letter and spirit the scriptural mandate, “eye for e y e tooth for tooth,” and blow for blow. Geuius aud mechanical skill have put men of different size on the same level, lu these days, tho giganMc man-eater has no advantage of the dwarf—tho adage now being, the larger the oppouent the better the mark. ■ 1 ■ ‘ ‘ ♦ —- ——- “Bless your Innocence.” “A rogue asked charity on pretence of be ing dumb. A lady having asked him, with equal simplicity and humanity, how long he had been dumb, he was thrown off his guard and answered, ‘from birth, madam.’ ‘Poor tellow,’ said the lady, and gave him a dollar.” This reminds us of a beggar, of whom it is related, when being questioned as to the char acter of her poverty, replied she was “a poor lone widow, with a husband and nine chil dren !’ We tear there are too many women in this world who are actual widows, in every view and way, save in the name. Mixing; Colors. A movement has been started in the City of Providence, It. 1., to abolish the schools for colored children, and to have the pupils now studying in them transferred to the other schools—making no distinction on account of color.— Exchange. This, wo presume, is an “ ‘all’ and ’alf ” idea of some white male and female amalgamation ists, who, by their unworthiness nnd natural worthlessness, could never aspire enough in dignity to choose or obtain a husband or a wife from the white race. If this movement is curried into successful operation, what a conglomerated mass there will be of multi colored physioguomies—too many of which, to our national shame, bear the same paternal resemblance of oouutenuuccs —will be clustered under the same school roof! Much ideas could not be carried into opera tion in the South. It is impracticable—and the legitimate white offspring of a father should never have the mortification of being folded with the stray sheep! There is enough of the ginger-bread and new saddled-colored race about the ditfereut cities and villages of the North and South to fill for each a good sized school. A keen observer of the human race, now at our elbow, asks us from whence the many “’alf nnd ’alts” of different ages and sezes are brought to our city ? We oould not unswer his quere, and for fear of being charged with personality we let the subject slide. Death of Capt. Thomas Fetigru. We were pained, yesterday, to learn of the sudden death of Captain Thomas Petigru, late of the United States Navy. He was on his plantation, in Abbeville District, when he was attacked with a somewhat severe indisposition on Monday last, and though he rallied and there were hopes of his speedy recovery, he died at about 5 o’clock ou Friday morning.— He was one of those who suffered under the action of the late board for improving the effi ciency of the Navy, and has not survived the opportunity of invoking justice.— Charletton Courier. Craniological Measurement. A metropolitan tile manufacturer, who has a large list of customers in every portion of the Union, gives in substance, the following information about heads: According to his measurement, tho F. F. V. and the Western States require the lurgest fat sizes. As of a Hize as well of the same politics, are the caputs of freedom shrieking New Englanders, and New Yorkers. The State which boasts of tho largest cave, the longest eared mules, and such beads as require the most huge sizes of hats to be stretched to fit, is “old Kentuck.” The smallest heads, the wildest Indians, the most mammoth musquitoes and hungriest alligators belong to Florida. The most unaccountable and awry craniums are found in the Palmetto State. The heads, according to this phrenolo gical hatter’s measurement, which require the most covering for so small a quantity of brains, are peculiar to North Carolina and Tennessee. Alabama bears the palm for heads requiring the softest hats. The enlightened people of Georgia have all kinds of shaped heads and chartered banks, from little to large. (Our individual size is 7.} when not swelled.) The average American head is a long oval, resem bling the Celtic. English heads are lo g, mi nus the oval. The German bead is as irregular in shape as a piece of chalk. Heads about Okalona, Mississippi, are generally hard and lively heads, and well filled with 1-1-learning. The Baltimore Conference commenced its session in Baltimore on the 3d instnnt. The Rev. Jacob Manning, of the Virginia Confer ence, appeared on the 4th, was introduced, and invited to take a seat within the bar of tho House. This Conference, in all respects, is the larg est in connection with the Methodist Episcopal Church; its territory embracing the Western Shore of Maryland, the District of Columbia and large portions of Virginia and Pennsylva nia. There are now connected with the Con ference 362 itinerant ministers, besides whom there are 366 local preachers, and the mem bership amounts to 74,515. The Baltimore American says probably the most absorbing question of the session will be the division of the Conference into at least two parts, for the greater convenience of the min istry and laity. A New Play by Miss Louise Reeder. The Baltimore Clipper of the 6th instant, says, anew local play from the pen of Mrs. Frank R. Wright—better known by the now* de plume of Louise Reeder, authoress of “Currer Lyle”—has been accepted by the manager of Holliday Street Theatre in that city, and will be presented sometime during the present week. Should the dramatic essay of Mrs. Wright win any degree of the popularity of her recently published novel, she may confidently promise herself a success as yet attained by but few female dramatists. The play is enti tled, The Poetry of Democracy. The aim of its fair author—as indicated by its title—be ing to exhibit and exalt the sterling worth and virtuous heroism of humble life. The pro duction is said to possess in a high degree the elements of dramatic power and successful effect. The Late Kansas Disturbance. The telegraph brought accounts some days ago of an indignity offered to Gov. Geary by one Sherrard, whose appointment as Sheriff the former had refused to approve. On the 18th ult., some of the citizens of Lecompton held a meeting to denounce the indignity of fered to Gov. Geary. The propriety of hold ing this meeting was doubted, and some gen tlemen waited upon Gov. Geary aud desired him to prevent his friends from proceeding in the matter, as it was useless, aud calculated to bring on trouble, but he refused, saying, “people had a right to hold what meetings they please.” Speaking of the meeting the St. Louis Republican says:— Upon resolutions (denunciatory of the insult offered Geary) being read, Sherrard came for ward and said that tho committee who had re ported them, and every man present who en dorsed them, were “liars, cowards and scoun drels.” A Mr. Sheppard, who resided on a claim noar Lecompton, remarked that he was neither a liar, coward or a scoundrel, and that he endorsed the resolutions as right; where upon Sherrard drew his revolver nnd com menced firing upon Sheppard, wounding him twice. Sheppard drew and snapped four caps, and the fifth shot hit Sherrard. The people, of course, became much excited at this wan ton violation of their rights, and several shots were fired, when Sherrard and Sheppard both fell, apparently dead, and the affray was for tunately ended. John A. W. Jones, Esq., was arrested by Mayor Stewart, as one of the persons who fired upon Sherrard, and he has been held to bail in five thousand dollars. The Missouri Democrat has a correspondent, who, writing from Lecompton, says; Governor Geary has got two companies of United States troops here: one of infantry and one of cavalry. It is reported that he fears assassination at the hands of the pro slavery men, and has these troops here for per sonal protection. It is now generally suspec ted that they are here to prevent the Legisla ture f>om being lynched or driven off by the people. A strong disposition to do this is manifested. Extension of the Savannah, Albany and Oulf Road. As our community and many of our fellow citizens in Southern Georgia feel a deep inter est in the railroad enterprises of this section, we would state for the benefit of all such, that on account of the difficulty met by the Atlan tic and Gulf Company in obtaining from the Brunswick road a release of their privileges, which would euable both companies to unite upon the Main Trunk, it is rumored, and wo think the rumor may be partially relied upon, that the Directors of the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Road have determined to push their road forward from a point known as the initial point of the Atlantic and Gulf Road ; nnd for this purpose will immediately proceed to put some thirty miles or so under contract. This road, it will be remembered, is now in run ning order for 32 miles, and is graded beyond the Altamaha, and within six iriNles of the ini tial point of the Atlantic and GPulf Road, and is under contract for the entire distance to the initial. The bridge across the Altamaha is so far completed as to bo in a condition now to receive the iron for the track, and the locomo tive oould pass over it, at present, if the rails were laid. Iron enough is now in our city to lay the road for 45 miles, and the remainder necessary for the completion to the initial point, will be received in time for laying the track without delay. —Savannah Journal. general items. The measure of reduction by the new Tariff bill is altogether conjectural, but the opinion prevails that it will amount to about fourteen millions of dollars. The Lexington (Mo.) Express has already placed the name of Millard Fillmore at the I head of its columns, as a candidate for the next ! Presidency. | The Supreme Court of South Carolina has decided that an Executor is a good witness to j a will under the statute of George 11., and . therein overruled two adverse decisions here- ! toforo made by the same Court. We icarn that Mr. James Alford, of Jones boro’, was stabbed in that place on \\ ednesday last by a lad named Smith, about fdteen ycais of age. It is thought that Alford will not re cover. The Rev. Uriah Mervin, pastor of a Dutch Reformed Church in New York, has testified positively, before tho Surrogate Court, that Dr. Burdoll aud Mrs. Cunningham were the parties married by him the 28th October last. The Nashville Union states that the Tennes see Agricultural Bureau has instructed its Secretary to prepare a “History ol Blooded Horses in Tennessee.” The materials for this history must mainly come from those who have boen engaged in raising this stock. Capt. Mclntosh, with the remainder of the Commission appointed by the Secretary of the Navy, to select a site for the Navy lard at Brunswick, left Savannah Saturday morning last, on board the St. Marys. They expect to proceed forthwith to the work assigned them. Gen. Harney was, at last dates, in active pursuit of tho Indians on the east side ot Lake Oke Chobee. it is supposed that important results will How from this movement. That Indians are in that section of country is an un doubted fact. Bill Ryan, “one of the b’hoys” was arrested in Knoxville, Tenu., on the 26th upon a charge of attempting to chop his wife’s head off with an axe. Bill doubted the faithfulness of his partner, aud instead of bearing the ills he had, brought on others more serious. He was com mitted to jail. Some of the large jobbing-houses in New York, have wires running to the “Commercial Agencies.” While a person is negotiating for the purchase of goods in one part of the store, a clerk is talking with the “Commercial Agen cy” some blocks off, about his habits and pe cuniary resources. Purser Edward Fitzgerald, U. S. Navy, died at the residence of his son, in Georgetown, (D. C.) on Friday last, in the 77th year of his age. He was bom in Chambersburgh, Pa., and en tered the Navy in 1810. In the war of 1812, he served in the squadron of Commodore Per ry on Lake Erie. The usual resolution of thanks to Mr. Spea ker Banks, was adopted by a vote of 119 yeas to 25 nays. It was introduced by Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, and advocated, among oth er Southern members, by Mr. Seward of Geor gia. Mr. McMullen, of Virginia was the lea der in the opposition. The Steamer Gen. Clinch, from Charleston, loaded with government stores, went ashore at Fort Capron on the night of the 20th inst., in a gale of wind. Cargo total loss, and it was presumed on the morning of the 21st, at which time the Express left Fort Capron, that the steamer would prove a total wreck. Among the recent appropriations by Con gress was one of $50,000 for the construction of a Federal Court House and Post Office in Columbia, S. C. Such a building has long been needed, the old Court House having been presented by the Grand Jury as not suitable for the purpose for which it is used. The New York papers say that a propeller is fitting out at that port, which will proceed round Cape Horn with men, arms and provi sions for Gen. Walker. The reason why this route is adopted is said to be an unwillingness on the part of Walker’s friends to have any dealings with Morgan & Co.’s line of steam ships to Nicaragua. When the Army Appropriation bill came up in the Senate, Mr. Toombs offered an amend ment allowing to Gen. Scott the arrears of pay and claims refused him by Secretary Davis.— The amendment was warmly advocated by Senators Toombs and Butler, and opposed by Cass and Clay. It was finally adopted by five majority. Tho New York Tribune of the 4th instant says: “We have a number of letters from Ore gon, by tne last mail, containing the startling information that this Territory, hitherto set down as certain for Freedom, will, in all prob ability, present herself to the next Congress for admission into the Union with a Constitu tion legalizing Slavery. Mr. Edwin Booth, son of the late J. B. Booth, was to have made his first appearance before a Mobile audience at our theater ou Monday evening last, as Richard 111 This young actor has received the highest encomi ums of the press in each city where he has ap peared. The National Intelligencer, usually very chary of its praise, speaks of him in terms of glowing admiration. The Coosa Belle passed up the Alabama to Wetumpka a few days since with nine convicts from Mobile for tho Penitentiary. Their names are: George Sadler, for ten years; John Harris, for three years ; Jacob Newman, for five years; William Mace, for ten years; William Anderson, for ten years; Henry Geauseau, for five years; Jesse R. Mayo, for three years; Ann Cannon, for two years ; Sam uel Jackson, for two years. We learn from the New York Post, that Hen ry O. Middleton, Esq., of Upshurcounty, Vir ginia, the largest landholder in the State, is now at the St. Nicholas Hotel in that city, and is in negotiation with a company of gentlemen of the North, for the sale of 400,000 acres of laud, in tracts of from 1,000 to 30,000 acres. The lands offered by Mr. Middleton are in the counties of Greenbrier, Raleigh, Braxton, Ka nawha, and Mason, nnd within the Channel coal field. The Savannah Republican says, the tele graph brings us intelligence of the loss of the ship Chattahoochee, on the Irish coast. She was owned by parties in Savannah and cost about $05,000. We understand she was fully insured. This Accident is much to be regret ted as the vessel belongs to a line of Liverpool ships which a few of our euterprising citizens have kept up much to the benefit of Savannah. We hope her place will be soon filled. The Chattahoochee had as cargo 3000 sacks of salt. Lieutenant Catesby Ap. Roger Jones, an of ficer on board the United States steam frigate Mcrrituac, writiug homo to his family from Barbadoes, under date of the 2Gth of February, says, in speakiug of the productiveness of the soil, &c.,- that the Island is 21 miles long, by 14 wide, produces annually 50,000 hogsheads of sugar, aud the land sells at S6OO per acre. ; It will be reinemberod that this Island was a rendezvous for negroes stolen from Virginia in the late war with Great Britain, by Sir Admi ral Cockhnrn and his confederates. The lauds ot the Island have beeu cultivated by those slaves and their descendants from that time to 1 the p.treat day. The Dred Scott Case. Washington, March 6. —The opinion ot the Supreme Court in the case of Dred Scott, has been delivered by Chief Justice Taney. It de clares that negroes under the constitution ot the United States are not citizens; that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, be ing the exercise of a power not delegated by 1 the States to the general government, but that the ordinance of 1787, was binding, being the j act of the several States prior to the formation | of the Federal Constitution. ; \ second dispatch states that Judges Mc i Lean and Curtis have delivered opinions as -1 firming the constitutionality of the Missouri Compromise. From Kansas. St. Louis, March 7.—A meeting ot the citi zens of Westport, Mo., has passed resolutions resolving to resist all efforts to renew tioublos in Kansas; to extend hospitable welome to all emigrants, and allow the laws of Missouri and Kansas to punish offenders. Rich Iron Ore, The iron mine of Mr. H. Ware some three miles from this, must certainly be the richest and most susceptible of any that the country affords. AVo have a specimen before us, and could we conceive properly of the nature and philosophy of such a product might speak in higher terms of its superiority and qualifica tions. All we can say, is, that from tho lump we have, it must be iron of a superior grade to that of any product. It is said to be of a soft and submissive nature, even in its raw state, so much so that a company formed for the pur pose of establishing a foundry at these mines, (and such is the intention of its owner, we learn,) the profit accruing from such will be told immeasurably. Its locality is such that will render its transportation to other parts with convenience. Success to this enterprise. —Shelby (Ate.) Independent. A Narrow Escape. Last evening about half past 7 o’clock, Mr. Sutphen’s horse, in the absence of the driver, took fright, and dashed off at rapid speed with the buggy, in which was seated a little son of Mr. Sutphen’s. On passing the residence of Benjamin Rawls, Esq., one of his negro boys, (Charles,) fortunately succeeded in entering the buggy in the rear, and gained possession of the lines at the risk of his life, to rescue the child. Such an act deserves record, display ing as he did, bravery and inventive talent.— Charles is a valuable boy, and has by this unex ampled feat secured for himself many friends. —Columbia (S. C.)

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.— While preparations of this nature were en trusted to quacks, and ignorant manufacturers of perfumes and cosmetics, much and irrepar able mischief was inflicted ou many a credu lous and deluded sufferer. But when scien tific men like l’rofssor 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.
