COLUMBUS: LARGB9T CITY CIHCPUTIOB. Thursday nornlnf, Jn“ **• Jd( Worrell for Governor. A writer in the Chronicle and Sentinel of the 9th instant, over the signature ol m a Planter,” suggests the name of Judge E. H. Worrill, of Talbot county, aa a suitable candidate of the American party, for Governor. No man of either party, would make a more efficient or couacien tioua Chief Executive of our State, or would discharge the duties of the office mure with an eye to the public weal, in dependent of party ties. Without com promiting our neutrality, we say we would like to see Judge Worrill nomina ted, for iu that event, if the Democrat* put out a good tnun, we will be sure to have a good Governor, let who will be elected. - ■■ ♦ Supreme Court of Georgia. This Court commenced its aeasion in Savannah on Monday last, Judges Mc- Donald and Benning, presiding, Judge Lumpkin being absent on account of his health. —-—♦--- — Loss of the Canadian. The steamer Canadian, which struck below Quebec on her Into arrival from Europe, we learn from disputches from Quebec, on the Bth, is a total wreck.— Passengers and crew all saved. Baptist Mission House. This new building, says the Corner Stone, erected by the libernlity of the members and congregation of the Baptist denomination of our city, for the special use and benefit of our factory operatives, was on Sabbath afternoon set apart for the worship of God. The Rev. J. 11. Do- Votic delivered a very able and interest ing discourse on the occasion, and was followed by the Rev. J. Whitten, the mis sionnvy in charge, in a few remarks ex planatory of the objects and aims in the establishment of this mission. The build ing is large and well adapted to the use for which it is designed. - - tllimltlgstril Meanness, Some graceless, unprincipled scumpgot into friend Brit’s office, of tho Montgom ery Messenger, on Sunday last, and cut to pieces the It/mpan and blankets of his press—and on Tuesday morning a hope ful specimen of Young America hit the carrier of the Messenger (a negro boy) on the shin with an iron stick, almost disabling him from duty. Drit thinks that neither of the perpetrators of these rascally acts will ever conic to any good end, without it is a rope’s end. We think so, too —and the sooner they reacli that end the better for society. Convicts Caught. We learn from the Macon Messenger of the 9th inst., that Thomas Sorrells, who was recently convioted in this coun ty, of the murder of Sant. West, a negro wagoner, and sentenced to the Peniten tiary for life, managed to escape a few days since, lie went to Houston county, whore, with another escaped convict, by the name of John Heath, lie broke into tlic store of Mr. John A. Sperry, when they took two double-barreled guns, anti sundry other articles. They were mak ing their way to Florida, but were over taken nnd arrested by Gen. A. G. Bost wick, of Wilkinson county, and have been returned to their old quarters in the Penitentiary. Butchers vs. Drovers. Tho Boston Bee says : “Operations a’ the Cambridge Market on Wednesday, were completely paralyzed by the resolu tiou ol the butchers to buy no cattle ol the cattle drovers at the prices. It was claimed by the former that their custom ers could not and would not purchase meat at such prices; consequently, the droves were taken to Brighton Market, where, we understand, the drovers were obliged to submit to a considerable loss on sale of their stock.” . Last Stone Laid. The Mobile papers inform us that the last stone of the new custom-house in that city was laid on Tuesday. Iu honor of this event, the gigantic derick wns deco rated with the naiionul tings of the Uni ted States, England, France, Holland, Helg'um and Nicaragua. The Adverti ser adds: The work of covering tlie large edifice will soon bo commenced, and utter that the carpenter work. Wo ntny now rea sonably hope to see the Government ofli cersoccupying their now tenements some time in the year of IKSB. The building is a very showy one, and docs credit to the Government, as weil as the contrac tors, nnd is quite an ornament to the city. Congressional Canvass Messrs.

Johnson has. on the part and in behalf of the citizens of Milledgeville, and of tho county of Baldwin, and the Baldwin Blues, in the absense of au thority, as Governor, invited the various Military Companies of Georgia to assem ble and Encamp at the Capitol on the 3d, 4th, 6th and Gth of July. The Captains of the different Companies arc r- speet fully requested to report to the Governor whelher they w(ill attend or not. The Federal Union understands that Gov. Johnson has been invited and has accep ted the invitation to deliver the address on the 4th of July. We learn that two of our Military Com panies have already accepted the invita tion, and that in all probability the other will also, Later from the Bio Plate. By way of New York, we have advices from Buenes Ayres to the 7th of April.— The yellow fever wus still raging violent ly at Montevideo, and every precaution had been taken to keep it out of Buenos Ayres. An expected revolution had broken out in Rosario, on the Ist of April, the ob ject of whic.i was to oust Gov. Lopez, and to elevate Sr. Echegue in his place. Tho message of President Lopez, of Paraguay, is devoted principally to the relation of his troubles with the American Government. The Sponge Trade. The Key West (Floridu) Key of the Gulf says SIOO,OUO worth of Sponges were shipped from that port last year, and that the exports of this year, stimu lated by the advanced prices, will proba bly reach $300,000, or about one hun dred and fifty thousand pounds of sponge. About forty boats and two hundred men are engaged in the business, who catch the sponge in the shallow waters of South Florida, as far west ns Cedar Keys. The Presbyterians on MormonUin. The churches are beginning to move against the Mormons —hut the movement, as yet, is slow. A series ot resolutions was introduced into the l’resbyterion Conven tion at Cleveland, t he other day, denounc ing the Salt Lake Saints— came of them—the resolution being laid on the table, on the ground that the sub ject was one not germain to the Conven tion. Our Presbyterian brethren herein, it seems to us, are hardly as consistent as they might bo. If polygamy, adultery, nnd all the demoralizing practices which follow in their train, are not proper sub jects for Christian consideration—with a view to moral reform —we are at a loss to conceive wliat particular description of offences ought to come within the circdo of sins and offences, to be resiled and overcome by the friends of evangelical Christianity. If il is germain to discuss slavery, we don't understand why Mor monism should he shut out.— Ntw York Express. Washington Intelligence, We find the following items of news in the Baltimore papers of the Bth instant, and dated the preceding day at Wash ington : It is not true that Lord Napier official ly denies the cession of the island in Fanamu bay to Great Britain. The ad ministration certainly did not interrogate him, nor did lie volunteer any statement upon the subject. No one, however, iu diplomatic and government, circles, be lieves that such a cession lias been made. J. N. Knapp to-day resigned the lucra tive office of agent of the U. S. Treasury, intending to remove to Wisconsin to en gage in the banking, real estate and law business. Col. Cummings, although declining the governorship of Utah when he was in Missouri, would probably have accepted it on his arrival here had not. the Presi dent in llie meantime selected another, whose name will be officially concealed until it shall be known whether he will accept the appointment. When this is ascertained affirmatively two new judges for Utah, to fill the vacancies, and a mar shal and a superintendent of Indian af fairs will lie appointed. Gen. Cheatham, of Tennessee, who was an officer in the Mexican war, has been appointed consul at Aspinwall. The Attorney General has given an official opinion relative to the proprietary interest of the United Slates in the newly Recovered guano islands. Congress, he says, ntay terminate the possession of tlie discoverer when it pleases. Under the existing laws the discoverer is the na tion’s tenant at will, aud that will to be expressed by Congress whenever the nation may desire to put an end to the -'state granted. And the law forbids the President, before certain conditions are complied with, to declare any island as appertaining to the United States—an itterliand act, according to his conviction of public duty. The report is currently believed that ex-Gov. Philip Frank Thomas, of Md., has been tendered the Governorship ol Utah, and will accept the appointment. Judge E. W. Cullen, of Arkansas, has been appointed purser iu the navy. Mtscellaneoue Texas News. Our files front Galveston, by the Ope lousas, are to the 4th instant, and from other parts of the State as late as due In Washington, Bastrop and other parts of the State copious rains had fallen, and the crops continued to promise abundant harvests. Large crops of corn, cotton and wheat will undoubtedly be made. We learn from the Victoria Advocate that the work of removing the obstruc tions in the river between that place and the Bay is in rapid progress. Bishop Polk's proposition for the es tablishment of anew Southern Episcopal University has been fully endorsed by the diocese of Texas, and delegates ap pointed to the Chattanooga Convention, the 4th of July next. Hon. Robert Toombs and T. Butler King, of Georgia, recently visited Dallas, when the latter spoke two hours on the subject of the Pacific Rail Road. Sena tor Toombs came passenger on the Ope lousas. The Galveston papers are jubilant over the arrival of a company of United States troops, consisting of about fifty men, with officers, engineers, &c., under the com mand of Lieut. Beale, who has a com plete outfit for making the survey of the wagon road to the Pacific, as ordered by an act of the last Congress. They have some seventy-five mules and horses, with wagons and everything requisite for the important services required of them, and were to disembark at ludianola, and pro ceed direct to San Antonio. Accident from the Use of Fire-Arms. We understand that, on last Thursday, Mr. Houston Cochrane was killed by the accidental discharge of his gun. We learn that he had been to Harris's Depot on the N. C. Railroad on business and was returning home, when lie met some person in the road and stopped to talk, and in putting down his gun, which was double barrelled, he struck the hammer of the lock with such violence against something which caused the cap to ex plode and the load entered his face ju-t below the rght eye, tore it out and en tered his head, causing death instantly.— Mr. Cochrane was a young man of steady j habits nnd go .and character, about 22 years | of age, and leaves a young wife to mourn his loss. Thus another is added to the long list of victims to the incautious use of fire arms. WiJJ le never learn a lesson from the ninny Kf’cs tjjat are hap pening almost every day iu ihu country, j —Charlotte (N. C.) Whiff. Washington's Farewell. The following extract, says the Na tional Intelligencer of lie 4th iust., is from a letter written by a lady upwards of eighty years old, residing in Philadel phia to her grandson in Washington: When Gen. Washington delivered his Farewell Address, iu the room at the south east corner of Cheeuut aud Sixth streets, 1 sat immediately in front of him. It was in the room the Congress had oc cupied. The table of the Speaker was between the two windows on Sixth street. The daughter of Dr. C ,of Alexan dria, tlie physician and intimate friend of Washington, Mrs. H , whose hus band wus the auditor, was a very dear friend of mine. Her brother, Washing ton, was one of the Secretaries of Gen. Washington. Young Dandridge, a ne phew of Mrs. Washington, was the other. I was included in Mrs. II ’s party to witness the august, the solemn scene. N C declined going with Mrs. H , who had determined to go so early as to secure the front bench. It was fortunate for N C (after wards Mrs. L.) that site would not trust herself to be so near her honored grand father. My dear father stood very near her: site wns terribly agitated. There was a narrow passage from the door of entrance to the room, which wus on the east, dividing the rows of benches. Gen. Washington stopped at the end to let Mr. Adams pass to tlie chair. The latter al ways wore a full suit of bright drab, with slash, or rather loose cuffs. He also wore wrist ruffles. He had not changed his fashions. He was a short man, with a good head. Willi his family, lie attended our church twice a day. Gen. Washington’s dress was a full suit of black. His military hat had the black cockade. There stood the Father of his Country, acknowledged by nations “the first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen.” No mar shals, with gold colored scarfs ; no cheer ing. Tlie most profound stillness greeted him, as if that great ussembly desired to hear him breathe and catcli his breath— tlie homage of tlie heart. Mr. Adams covered itis face with both his hands. The sleeve of his coat and his hands were covered witli tears. Every now and then there was a suppressed sob. I cannot describe Washington’s appear ance as 1 felt close of his address. Then, when strong men’s sobs broke loose, when tears covered their faces, then tlie great man was shaken. I never took my eyes from his face. Large drops came from his eyes, lie looked to the grateful children who were parting with their father, their friend, as if his heart were with them and would be to the end. Death of an Editor. 0. H. Wells, Esq., who was editor and proprietor of the Greenville Mountaineer for nearly twenty-five years, died at the residence of Mr. 11. Heine, of this city, on Sunday last, of consumption, aged sis ty-two years. He retired from the charge of the Mountaineer on account of declin ing health, and accepted the situation of until agent on the Greenville and Colum bia Railroad, hoping that the more active duties of that office would restore his phy sical strength. But the msiduous archer had marked him for its own, and the prayers and kind attention of friends could not save him from the irrevocable fiat which had gone forth, to which all must bow in turn. By the advice of his physician lie left Greenville a week ago, hoping that a trip to the seaboard might be of advantage to him, but the journey was too much tor him, and he sunk under the effort, and expired a few days after his arrival. He was greatly respected and beloved by all who knew him, aud his death will be mourned by a la ge circle of friends and relatives.— Charleston Evening News. Increase of Prices—How to meet It. Everything we need to eat and drink —not simply luxuries and comforts, but absolute necessaries—is “going up” at such a.rute as will soon put many arti cles of every day household use beyond the reach of persons of limited means. Kents have gone up until they are “ sky high beef and all other kinds of’ meats are so high that none but those who have heavy purses as well as hungry palates, can afford to eat fiesli ; flour has taken a rise and followed beef, and vegetables, on account of tlie unusual backwardness of the season, have become scarce and inaccessibly high, too. The New York hotel keepers, in view of the increase of prices, have held a meeting, and determ ined to raise the price of board from $2 50 to $3 a day, declaring that, if they persist in the present rates, they will be ruined. Commenting on this circum stance. a New York paper pertinently asks o “•mild not be better for the hotel keepers, instead of increasing the price of board, to meet the case by adopting a simpler mode of living. Undoubtedly it would; and wliat is best for hotels will prove best iu private families. When prices go up let pur chases go down. Let all retrench their ordinary household expenses, cutting down a little here, aud lopping oft'a little there, uutil the household is in keeping with the times. A few tilings denied here aud there, a few pleasures foregone now and then, will not be felt a year hence, and may prevent real suffering in the end. An Important Political Decision. Great Britain, even quite recently, in its judicial decisions, acknowledged the binding force of the principle that British subjects could not throw off their alle giance, but were always subjects of the Grown, to whatever part of the globe they went. This principle has been re laxed in a recent instance. Mr. Lawless, a merchant of Grenada, and a non-com batant in the late Nicaraguan troubles, was dragged out of his house and shot by the Guatemalans, when they took Grenada. He was formerly a British subject, but became a naturalized citizen ot the l nited Btates. His mother npplied to the British Government for compensa tion for tlie loss of her son’s life nnd property. The reply was, that he had renounced his allegiance by becoming a citizen of the United States, and was not entitled to British protection. The deci sion is stated in a letter from Lord Clar endon. This is the doctrine of expatria tion fully admitted. A Big Wedding. The fashionable world of Louisville is on tiptoe nt the prospect of a wed lir.g in high life, which is to take place in ilie quiet vale of Pee-Wee, on Thursday. A popular young gentleman is to lea'’ t i the hyinetiinl altar one of the most ch .ruling belles of this vicinity—no le.s a person age than the grand daughter of tha de parted Sage of Ashland. A special train of curs has been engaged to convey a large patty of guests from this city, and the preparations nre upon a scale of mag nificence cnmipen-ijrate with the impor- | tatjee of Qje eyei^.— fcwisville’ Democrat.

Awake thy last sad voice my harp— The voice of woe aril wild despair: Awake, resound thy latest lay, Then sleep iu silence everuiair. Burnt. Custom required that I should put on mourning for the dead. It was but a mockery, for my heart contained not even the vestige of a shadow traced by sor row’s wings, but I was zealously alive as to “wliat people might say,” and shaped my actions accordingly. But I was no moping, disconsolate widow, and the good natured world soon became aware of the fact. 1 was rich and beautiful, and soon 1 found myself back among iny former companions in Columbus, and, as of old, the bright, particular belle of the season. I had never seen Albert since nty mar riage, and it was witli a trembling heart that I looked forward to the hour when we should meet. The thought that he had ceased to love me had not once en tered my mind. I judged his love by my own, which was changeless and lasting as eternity itself. Soon after my return to Columbus, a large and brilliant party was given in honor of my arrival among my old friends. At this party I and Albert met —three months later, and just exactly eight months after William Horton’s death, I found myself standing at the al ter with Albert Coleman. We were married, and I flattered my self that henceforth perfect happiness was to be mine, but alas, 1 soon awoke from blissful dreams to a bitter realiza tion of my miserable mistake, “For feeling is tlie nurse of pain, Ami joys that linger in the lapse, Must die at least—and scare vain.” It is well that we children of the earth, earthy, cannot look into futurity, anil read its dark and hidden scrolls. Life would, indeed, be a scene of tvoe and madness, if an all-wise power had not in mercy veiled it from us. That which at present is sweet, would be poisoned with the certainty of coming evils, thus mak ing life an intolerable burden. A few months passed happily enough after my second marriage, and if I had hated my first husband with a quench less hate, I loved my second with a quenchless and deathless love. I loved him by far too much ; it made me his subserv ent slave, and t he master was not slow to use his supreme power. By slow degrees Albert began to unmask, and all too late I learned that my father had read his character only too truthfully. A second Nero in tyranny at home; a midnight debauchee, a gambler, a—, but in mercy to myself, I will not trace here, for the public’s eye, all the vices of him whom Iso devotedly loved. William Horton’s dying curse weighed heavily and sore in its retributive justice upon nty guilty head, and if I had made the last two years of his life dark and miser able, even so was I expatiating my sin, by enduring from another the very ago nies which l had so unmercifully heaped upon him. Oh, what a difference there was between the two husbands. One was the soul of honor, virtue and truth. Gifted and no ble minded, why was it permitted that he should become a victim of a misplaced love. Albert was lost to every sense of honor and truth; the world was his God, beyond it he looked no farther, yet, with al, when lie chose, he could near the sem blance of truth so well that wisdom her self could not have detected the seeming from the real. In twelve months after the marriage, Albert had squandered more than halt ol the large property left me by my first husband. My ample fortune had enabled hint to indulge in the most reckless extra vagancies, and lie was beginning to aban don all regard as to forms and appear ances. My idolatrous love had sealed my lips—never had a word of reproach or expostulation passed them till now—even my deep affection could not prevent the words which must be spoken. In a mild and gentle manner, I warned him of the fatal course which he was pursuing. It was enough. He grew furious, aud with one blow sent me reeling across the room. In that one moment I lived a life-time of woe, but the words that followed were worse a thousand times than the blow, and sent a thousand gleaming dag gers to my already bleeding heart. With the exultation of a fiend, he laughed to scorn the love I had lavished upon him, and in mocking tones lie told nte that but for my wealth lie had never married me—that from the very first he had never loved me, but had read nr, foolish heart, and made my feelings . plaything for his amusement. My spirit groaned ’neatli the weight of racking misery, as I sat and listened silently to those satanic words—l longed for the grave of oblivion, but it came not to me. Was it lor this 1 had braved my kind lather s wrath, when lie tried to save me from suelt wretchedness. Was it for this I wrung wit it anguish the soul of a good and great man ? was it for this I had goaded hint on to madness, till in an evil hour lie forgot himself and stooped to curse me, but I merited it all and more. The remaining portion of my property was soon spent—gambled away or sent on the wings of reckless extravagence to the four winds of heaven. William Hor ton’s dying wish was fulfilled—his gold had indeed been a curse to me. When all was gone, Albert came but once to the humble dwelling where he had placed nte, when we were forced to leave the splendid home which was mine no longer lie came to lid me farewell, and to tell nte, with the most impudent coolness, that henceforth 1 was to be as naught to him. Is tlie human heart made of an elastic material, that it can endure so much without breaking; it must be, else surely mine would long since have broken into a thousand fragments. Since Albert's cruel desertion I have earned a subsistence with nty needle, in a. remote city far distant from the home ot my childhood. Relations 1 have none —my dear father was resting neatli the earth s damp sod long before his way ward child united her destiny with the evil-minded man whom he so earnestly bade her beware of. Ilia e heard from Albert but once since lie left nte. Ho was then living in opu lence and splendor in New Orleans, with never a thought iu his selfish heart for her whose fatal love for him had forever darkened her life. . % story is told, and metliinks it bears its own moral. Contents of the Swivel. The Washington Union says: The brass swivel captured by the Marines from the rioters on Monday had its charge drawn the day after at the City Hall. It was composed of eight paving stones, a large number of rifle balls. Buck and gun shot, etc., weighing altogether from ten to twelve pounds! Railroad Meeting at Greenville, Ga. According to previous appointments, a meeting of the citizens of Merriwetlier county was held in Greenville, on Tues day the 2d of June, for the purpose of ta king into consideration the building of n Railroad t.• connect with the Atlanta and LaGrange Railroad. Tlie Convention wns organized by call ing Col. John H. McMath to the Chair, and C. W. Howard was requested to act as Secretary. Upon information being received, that a delegation had arrived from the city of Griffin, the Chiar appointed a committee of three, composed of P M. Marlin, W. T. Harris, and G. W. Grant, to invite them to participate in the deliberations of the meeting. The Chair then in a few pertinent remarks explained the object of the Convention. On motion of Dr. H. S. Wimbish, the. report of an especial commitee appointed at a previous meeting, to confer with the t/i c lients of the Atlanta and LaGrange Railroad, was called for, which was made by Col. McMath as Chairman of that Com mittee. Ou motion, a committee of five was appointed to report matter for the ac tion of the meeting. Tlie Chair appointed Col. Alfred Wellborne, W. T Harris, Esq., Dr. H. S. Wimbish, Rev. R. T. Marks, and Maj. Thomas F. McGehee, who made the following report: Your committee appointed to report matter for the action of this meeting, beg leave to submit the following resolutions: It being the object of this meeting to carry out the design of a Branch Road from this place to connect with the Atlan ta and LaGrange Railroad, therefore. Resolved, That we will use our best ef forts to secure the object. Resolved, That the committee appointed at a previous meeting be requested to re open book3 of subscription until a suffi cient amount of stock is subscribed for the completion of the road. Resolved, That we cannot iu good faith consider any proposition for the extension of a road east of this place, until subse quent to the meeting of the Board of Di rectors of the Atlanta and LaGrange Rail Road, and our proposition shall have been rejected by said company. Resolved, That inasmuch as a connec tion with the city of Columbus by Rail road is desirable in every point of view, wo pledgo the cordial co-operation aud united effort of Merriwether comity to the construction of a Railroad to the line of Harris county, via. White Sulphur Springs. Resolved, That it be recommended to the citzens of Meriwether to continue nnd increase their subscriptions to the stock for a Railroad from this place toward the city of Columbus, and that we invite our follow citizens of Harris county to co-op erate with us, that we may at the earliest period practicable have a continuous line of Railroad from the city of Columbus via. Hamilton, White Sulphur Springs and Greenville, to the city of. Atlanta. Which was received and adopted. The meeting then adjourned. JOHN 11. McMATH, Ch’mn. C. W. Howard, Sec’y. Tlie wj - they get Rich in the West. A friend of ours returned from Kansas, where lie has resided two years, tells of the high prices of provsious in that re ilion. Flour, last month, was selling at sl4 per barrel, molasses $1 50 a gallon, pork 20 cents a pound, aud other things at the same rate. The crops last year were poor, the winter severe, killing many cattle, and the army of emigration so large as to devour all before them. To the ques tion how did you live ? the answer was prompt. “Live,” said he, “live on cracked corn; corn for breakfast, corn for dinner, and for supper.
