COLUMBUS: L&HOBdT CITY CIRCUL,ATION. Friday Morning, Aug. 0, 183 8. See reading matter on every page. The Jackson (Miss.) Eagle understands that Oov. McWillie will call an extra ses sion of the Mississippi Legislature some time in November next; The Savannah Morning News, says:— “We learn that Solomon Cohen, Esq., has been appointed by the Governor, director in the State Bank, vioe It. B. Young, re signed. Bank of England. The bullion in the Bank of England is now, in round numbers, ninety million dollars, and this time last year it was not fifty-five million dollars. Yet there is a general flatness in all brandies of trade, arising from a continuance of the want of confidence, created by tho last com mercial panic. Large Bale of Sugars. There was unusual activity in the New York sugar market, on Thursday, the 29th ult., and about seven thousand hogs heads were sold at an advance of one eight cent per pound. Tho sales were probably the heaviest single day’s busi ness ever transacted in that market in the article of sugar. Alabama Election. In Macon county, Lewis, the American candidate for Sheriff, is elected ; Harris, American, elected for Clerk, and Free man, American, elected Tax Assessor. In Marion county, the entire American ticket is elected. The returns from Mobile indicato tho •lection of Shelton, Democrat, for Sheriff. Assessor dcuhtful. In Dallas county, M. J. Kenan is elect ed Sheriff, and T. 11. Averyt, Tax As sessor. Reduction of Taxes. The Milledgcville Recorder says : “The tax acts of 1862 and 1864, now in force, authorised and required by the Governor and Comptroller General to raise $375,- 000 and not more than $400,000 net money for tho Treasury, on the tax books roturned to the Comptroller Gene ral’s office. As tho State needed the money, previous administrations in lay ing the per cent, upon property have tried to come as near the $400,000 as possible, without making the fractions too small to aunoy collectors and tax payers in collecting the tax. This year, however, in consequence of the increased payments of the State Railroad into tho Treasury, tho Governor and Comptroller General have determined, we understand, to levy the per cent, in reference to the smaller sum, and have consequently re duced the tax to soven and a half per cent, on the SIOO, or to three-fourths of a mill on a dollar. It is supposed this will net to the State Treasury about $880,000.” Crop*, &c. Extract of a letter to the Milledgeville Reootder, dated Walker couDty (Cherokee country), July 24: Health generally good. The oat crop is almost an entire failure. Wheat crop vory light, and quality inferior, injured more, no doubt, from joint worm than from rust. The oorn crop, with favora ble seasons, may reach an average, but oannot make such crops as those of ’56 and ‘67. Hogs are dying considerably in some neighborhoods from some kind of an epidemic. Money is unusually soarce and business very dull generally. The Edgefield (8. C.) Advertiser of re cent date says: Already is the drouth of the dog days felt, and that seriously, by the in coming crops. Corn has been injured within a few days beyond what could have been supposed from its flourishing condition two weeks siuco. In some localities the appearances are indeed becoming desper ate. The general remark is, that the fields were scarcely ever seen to blight more suddenly. Yet it is also true that much of tho old corn is pretty well made ; while a good rain might yet save the later fields. The crisis, how ever, is a doubtful ono. The Jackson (Tenn.) Whig of the 30th ult. says: The crops of corn and cotton through out the country are looking remarkably well, though in some portions raiu would be beneficial to the corn crop. The prospeot for potatoes, those delicious esculents, was never better, and with a large yield, of courso there will bo cor responding low prices. The Trenton (Tenn.) Journal of the 81st ult. says: The recent rains in this county have had a wonderful effect upon the growing crop. Corn, cotton and tobacco all look very promising, and unless some aocidont should happeu to them, will yield abun dant crops. Ohio Politic*. Tbe Detnoora io State Convention of Ohio met at Columbus, 29th ult., and nominated Mr. Thomas W. Bartley, Su preme Judge; Mr. Jessie Durbin Ward, Attorney General; Mr. S. W, Gibson, Comptroller: and Mr. R H. Hendrickson, Member of the Board of Public Works. Hon. John Sherman has been unanim ously nominated to Congress by the Re publicans of the Thirteenth District of this State. Indiana Politics —The Democratic Convention of the Sixth Congressional District of Indiana, has nominated Mar tin Gray. _ Speed of American lloraet. A mile has been run in one minute forty two and a half seconds. The same distance has been trotted in two minutes twenty-four and a ha If seconds, and been paced in two minutes seventeen and a half seconds. Io the way of endurance combined with speed, we read of ten miles trotted in harness in twenty-eight minutes eight and a half seconds; twen-. ty miles, under saddle, trotted in fifty nine minutes fifty-five seoonds; thirty miles, io harness, trotted in three hours fifty-five minutes forty and a half sec onds ; and one hundred mile* trotted in k eight hours fifty-eix minute* and one For the Daily Sun. Eds. Sun: Every day some new dis covery is made, some new object of inter est is brought to light, some new creation of genius is given to tbe world, some old relic long lost is restored, and thus we are continually adding page upon page to tho history of the world. And now, it is evident from discoveries recently made, ! that in ages long past, the valley of the Mississippi, or at least a certain portion | of it in the State of Mississippi, was in habited by a race of people far exceeding tho present generation in point of stature. Those wbo have ever visited tbe “Mis sissippi Bottom,” as they coll it thore, cannot fail to observe that the whole of the land in the bottom is vory low, flat and level, but not marshy, though sub ject to annual overflow in tho spring of tho year, from rains and tbe melting of tho snow and ice in the mountain and in tbe north, coming down tho Mississippi river. They will also observo in that section, a great many mounds, from ten to thirty feet higher than tho surrounding coun try, and they are so regular and peculiar in their shape and formation, as to favor tho opinion that they were thrown up by the ((and of art rather than by nature, some of them being perfectly circular at the bose, with a smooth, level plain on top, while others nssume the shape of a now made grave of huge dimensions, all however, preserving a marked degree of symmetry in form. They are also found single, and in groups or clusters, and they have most certainly stood “in statu quo” for ages, in proof of which tho size of tho trees growing upon them is suffi cient evidence. During a sojourn of some months in that country, not long since, I j was at the houso of a gentleman who had | some of theso mounds on his plantation, and, being led by curiosity, he dug into several of them, and found rude earthen vessels, largo pipes, various curious im plements of stone, and in one of them be found some bones of a human skeleton. Numbers of liis neighbors visited him to see his curiosities, and among his visitors was a Surgeon, who examined the bones and put them together os well as he could, many,* however, being missing, and he assured mo that it was a human skeleton, and beyond doubt eight feet in length. The skull was very perceptibly much larger than that of the largest man in the present day, though I do not ro rnomber that any particular measurement was made of that. This seems to me to have some weight in proving that the Mississippi Valley has, at one time, been inhabited, if not by a race of giants, at least by a people among whom were some very largo specimens of humanity. And from these mounds being thrown up higher than tho highest water mark, makes it appear that they may have lived upon them as a protection against the overflow of tho river, in place of the pres ent levee system now used upon that river, and have also buried their dead there. And theso mounds appearing singly, and in groups, might lead us to supposo that there may have been villages auil country residences. This, Messrs. Editors, I have seen, and assert upon my own responsibility. I give it to you as I have seen it, without embellishment, and as a plain, unvarnish ed narrative of fncts. It certainly pre sents a wide field of speculation for the curious in such matters. If you think it will be interesting to your readers, you can givo it to them, with my guarantee of its truth. Very respectfully, yours, _ W. C. B. Thieve* and murderer* In Texas, The Indianola (Texas) Courier says:— Wo learn that considerable excitement lias prevailed in Goliad and adjoining counties for near two weeks past, in con sequence of tho.discovery of a band of thieves and murderers. Wo learn that a man named llryant Wurdick, whose name was published in the list given in confes Bion by Mitchell and Warren, was killed by a party last week, and others were be ing pursued. There seems to be no doubt about tho existence of an organized gang of robbers, whose operations extend through a number of counties in North, Middle and Western Texas, and tho peo pie of several counties are organizing to exterminate them. A business letter from a gentleman in Goliad to one of our citi zens, dated July 21st, contains the follow ing paragraph which we are permitted to extract: “This county is all in arms against a gang of horse thieves and mur derers who have been discovered amongst us. Ouo of the gang has been shot auil four hung. They are the gang who mur dered tho Mexicans for tho past two years.” ■ 1 ♦ —l.. A Good Man’s Wish. 1 froely confess to you, says l)r. Sharp, that I would rather, when 1 am laid in tho grave, someone iu bis manhood would stand over me and say, “There lies one who was a real friend to me, and privately warned mo of the dangers of the young; no uno knew it, but he aided me iu the time of need. 1 owe what 1 owe to him.” Or, 1 would rather have some widow, with choking utterance, telling her children, “There is your friend and mine, lie visited me iu my aflliction, and found you, my son, an em ployer, and you, tuy daughter, a happy homo in a virtuous family.” I say 1 would rather that such persons should stand at my grave than to have erected over it the most beautiful sculptured monument of Parian or Italian marble. The heart's broken utterance of reflec { tions of past kiudness, and the tears of j grateful memory shed upou tho grave, are ! more valuable, in my estimation, than tho moßt costly cenotaph ever reared. A whole family, brought to destitution in England, has had ail its misforltiues clearly traced, by the authorities, to an uugovernable passion for novel reading, entertained by the wife and mother. The husband was sober uud industrious, but his wile was iudolent and addicted to reading everything procurable iu the j shape of a romance. This led her to ut | terly neglect her husbaud, herself and her eight children. Oue daughter, in despair, fled the parental home and threw herself into the haunts of vice. Another was found by tbe police chained by the legs, to prevent her following her sister’s example. Tbe house exhibited the most offensive appearance of filth aud indi- i gence. In tbe midst of this pollution, privation and poverty, the cause of it sat reading the latest “sensation work” of the season, and refused to allow herself to be disturbed in ber entertainment. Election in Missouri. St. Lotts, Mo., August 4.—Electious were held throughout this State on Mnn . day for members to Congress, and for the State legislature. Returns have been received from the !

Blair, Jr., I tbe Freesoil aud Republican candidate, | by a majority of six hundred votes. From th Savannah Republican of Sth inat. Arrival of the Zouave DeHiviere— Great Excitement—The Chevalier in Limbo. The steamship Huntsville, from New York, came up to the city a few minutes past 4 o’clock p. in., yesterday. The firing of her gun was the signal for an immedi ate congregation of a large crowd on the wharf, all intent upon getting a sight of the famous gallant, Deßeviere, who was reported to be on board aud iu pursiutof his inamorata, M>ss Blount. The ship was some time settling down into her birth, and it was not a little amusing to witness the evidences of curiosity that nirnil'ested themselves in the auxious crowd. Tho air was excessively hot and close under the blutf, hut this tritiiug in convenience seemed not to impair, in the slightest degree, the interest of the as sembled multitude in the hero of the oc casion and certain events that awaited him. The steamer having neared the wharf, Sheriff l’rendei gast was the first to go aboard, followed by certain suspicious looking geutry, looking for all the world as if they were charged with some of tho delicate offices of the law. Upon consult ing the list of passengers, the nnme of Do Reviere did not appear, but the cap tain politely informed the Sheriff that ono Lewis David corresponded in every parti cular with tbe gentleman who was the : object of bis search. This Mr. David be- ‘■ ing pointed out, the Sheriff gently took him aside, addressed him by his proper name, which he acknowledged, and in formed him that he was his prisoner by virtue of two warrants issued at the in stance of Col. F. S. Blount, one to keep tho peace toward tbe said Blount, and the other for the abduction of the daughter of the informant from tlio State of Alaba ma, with the intention of defilement. The law of Alabama makes this offense pun ishable by ci ntiuement in the penitentia ry, and Col. Blount, we learn, can clearly make good the charge by proofs, now in his possession, that our gallant Lothario was, at tho date of tho abduction, married to a lady in the State of New York. The Zouave took the awkward circum stances that had so suddenly come upou him with much coolness and composure. He acknowledged tbe authority of the Sheriff', and expressed entire willingness to do his bidding. The stage having been run aboard and secured to tho steamer, an immense crowd immediately thronged the cabin of the vessel, until the air was almost suffocating. The Zouave was quietly seated in the aft part of the saloon by the side of tho Sheriff, and earnestly engaged in conversation with a gentleman familiar with his native language. He is, upon the whole, a fine looking man, some six feet in height, well pro portioned (so far wc would judge while lie was in a sitting po>ture), dark hair and eyes, while his general aspect is more German than French. A patch of court-plaster on Ins right cheek marked tho wound recently received in a duel at Mobile, which is well uigh healed. He is evidently a traveled man, and lias learned to brave the up-hill points in tbe journey of life and to look with the eye of a philosopher upon every fate. Matters having hecomesomewhat quiet on the dock Sheriff Preudergast came ashore with itis prisoner, when both en tered a buggy and drove down the bluff. This movement revived the sensation and the crowd rushed down tbe Bty halting at every block to be prepared for a sight when the party should drUe up into the city. The buggy eventually emerged from below and was followed by the mul titude to Justice Connell’s office, at the corner of Bull and Bryan streets, where a full bench of Justices, composed of Messrs. Couuell, Staley and Russell, were convened for a preliminary examination of the matters charged in the warrants. Messrs. Bacon and Levy appeared for the State and Joseph Ganuhl, Esq., for tho prisoner. Some discussion occurred on the point of jurisdiction, but it being late, the further consideration of the ca-e was postponed until to-day In the meantime Capt. de ltiviere was committed to jail. Tho next sitting of the magistrates will be held at the Court House, and we learn it is the intention of Captain de Riviere’s counsel to place Mis. Blount aud her daughter upou the stand. The scene will doubtless bo rich aud commaud a full louse. It is said that these ladies continue to be thorougly identified in feeling with the accused, and maintain that the legal pro ceedings against him are an outrage upou right and justice. Mrs. B. has offered to defray all the expenses of the defence. Upon the whole it is a curious case, but p-rhaps we may get at tbe merits of it in the course of the testimony. Fever anil Ague.—A case of eight months* standing cured by Uiekhave’s Holland Bitters. Michael Kelly, No. 117 Seventh, nearUraml street, says: “Last July, while running on tho river on a Cottull boat plying between Nutchi z and New Or leans. I was taken with Fever and Ague. For eight long months 1 sutl'ered with this dreadful disease. The greater part of this time 1 was una ble to work, and spent at least titty dollars for different medicines, hut found uo permanent re lief. Three weeks age one of my friends insisted upoumy trying Uierhave't Holland Bitters,saying that a cure was guarant at. After taking it for oue tveok, 1 must state, X was a sound man. I have been at work now for two we, ks and have had no return of the Chills and Fever whatever.” 1 certify that the above statement is true.

SANDIDGE, July 14-ts M. C. from Louisiana. JUT The “Elixir,” prepared by Dr. James Wil- I liams, for the cure of Dyspepsy, and nothing but Dyspepsy, (as advertised in another column,) has, by its own merits, obtained for itself so high a I reputation in Philadelphia, that Physicians ac quainted with its properties, are using it them selves aud prescribing it to their patients, con- | vinced by observation, of its great efficacy in re | storing the disordered digestive organs to a healthy function. Mumerous cases of Dyspepsy, of tho most aggravated character, which were abandoned as incurable by some of tho Medical Faculty, have, by the use of this Elixir, boon re stored to perfect health, as attested certificates testify.
