COIjTJMBTJS: Largest City and Country Circulation. Te*day Horning, Dec. Ql, 1858. See reading matter on every pago. The Legislature of Mississippi, at Us late session, appropriated thirty thousand dollars to assist in tho erection of the monument, proposed to be erected at Natchez, to the memory of tho lamented hero and statesman, Qeu. John Anthony Quitman. Steamer Fairfield Hunk. We learn from the Greensboro (Ala.) beacon, that tho steamboat Fairfield was sunk on tho liigby river, last woek, near Turner’s Shoals, while on her downward trip. It is thought will bo rais ed without difficulty. She had 700 bales of cotton on board. MellioillNt Missionary Society. This Society held their anniversary on Saturday night. Notbeingabletoattend wo are unable to report what was done. We learn, however, from the Enquirer that tho sum of $3,100 was contributed, which is said to be tho largest collection ever made for that purpose in the Georgia Con ference Lamentable Neglect. The Rev. l>r. McFerrin, general agent of tho Soutborn Methodist Publishing House, in his address on Saturday, before the Conferenoe, now in session in this city, stated that while tho Methodist Episcopal Church South, numbored over 000,000 white members, the newspapors and literary periodicals of that Church barely had sufficient circulation to keep them alive ; and as for tho Quarterly Kovicw, a standard work of high charac ter, which should bo found in tho house of every good Methodist, tho circulation is so limitod—(not over 12000) —that it has been issued up to this timo, at a clear loss to tho Rook Fund, of SBOOO. 110 stated that the Home Circle, a periodical of high literary merit, the typographical cxocution of which was second to no pe riodical in tho Union, had but about 0000 subscribers, lie attributed this neglect, not bo much to the members of the Church, as to its ministers. He thought if they would do their duty, a great and radical chango in this respect would soon be apparent; and ho appealed to them to wake up to this great interest of the Church, and from this time resolve to give proper attention to this branch of their work. Ho said many complained of the prico at which the Southern Rook concern was affording books, in contrast with the Northern Rook House. Ho said tho rea son was obvious ; the fault was with the South; that while the interests of the Southern House at Nashvillo wero being neglected, tho members of the Southern Church were constantly and eagerly con tributing to Northern agents traveling among them, to tho neglect of the home house, and that tho money thus derivod, was a bonus to the Northern house to operate on, and that through such aid they wero able to undersell tho Southern house. But, said he, ebango tho pro gramme; throw your contributions into tho Southern publishing house ; givo it a bonus of SIOO,OOO aunually, and it will compote with tho world. The Doctor alludod to tho statement in our paper, of tho largo number of chil dren in this city, under Sunday School instruction, and paid a high compliment to their instructors. lie said it was pos sible, however, that it was not generally known that every one of theso children wero paupers on publishing houses. Yet, ho said, such was the fact; and that while tho Northern Methodist publishing house, and those of other denominations, had been to some extent, replenished fo r this source of drain, by contributions from tho South, tho Soutborn Mothodist publishing house, yet in its infancy, had been almost totally neglected. The Dootor said, in despite, though, of all theso weights and clogs, and othor disadvantages under which tho house had been compelled to labor, it yet survives, an<l is fast advancing to manhood. All that is noeded to speed the work, ho said, “is tho performance of duty on tho part tho of ministers, in tho introduction of our books and periodicals among thepeo plo of their localities, and not only would tho publishing liouso bo strengthened, but that tho maroh of Methodism would bo much increased.” The idea advanced that the Southern Methodists should fostor their own pub lishing house, and support their own Southorn periodicals, was a good one, and wo hopo the ministers withiu his hearing treasured up the advioe, and when they return to their stations and cirouits, they will go to work in good earnest, to infuse the spirit iuto the Churches under their charge. High Price for Land. The plautation belonging to tho estate of Robert R. Goroc, deceased, five miles %nn Marion, Perry county, Ala., brought forty-five dollars and nineteen cents per acre. Tho tract contained over 900 acres —all sandy land. Dr. Lee was the pur chaser. A tract of 80 acres of laud, about four miles from Dayton, in Marengo oounty, Ala., brought at publio sale, on the 11th inst., fifty-five dollars per acre. 1). F. McCrary, of Greensboro, was tho pur chaser. Theso prices indicate that money is easy and abundant in West Alabama. A country dealer in Cincinnati, a few days since, found hinisolf in possession of a chock ou a banking house, and hastened to “realize” the proceeds. The check was all right as to name and amount, but the boarer noeded testimony as to his identity with tho legal holder. After searching the streets and hotels in vain, for some aoquaintanco who could render this ser vice, the check-holder returned to the banking house, reporting, “It’s no use; I can’t find anybody that knows me, but I’ve got my name on my shirt.” The check was paid. Contemplated Rail Road from Ope- i Ilka to Talladega. A friend informs us that there is a pro ject on foot, or about to be set on foot, for the construction of a Rail Road from Opelika via Oak Bowery, Dadeville and Goldvillo, to Talladega. His proposition is to survey the route and eee to what extent the stock will bo taken along the route, and if successful have the charter granted by the next Legislature. We also learn from him that the citizons of Columbus, Ga., will furnish the iron, lay it down and put the cars on the road, if the citizens along tho road will do the grading. That there will boa Rail Road constructed from Opelika to Talladega some timo in the future, can hardly be questioned, at what time)wo do not pro tend to surmise, and as to the success of the project mentioned above, wo are not prepared to give on opinion. We would most earnestly say success to the enter prise. What say the citizens of Talla poosa ? Our columns are open for any suggestion in relation thereto. We find tho above in the last number of the Dadeville (Ala.) Times. Tho writer, wo think, is not right, when lie says Co lumbus will furnish tho iron for the entire Road wheu graded ; that would be too heavy an undertaking for our little city. But he may safely say the people of Co lumbus will do their duty. Tho seaport of Georgia has as great an interest in the matter as Columbus, and wo feci sure that between Columbus and Savannah, tho pooplo on the line of the road may safely rely on tho iron being furnish ed as fast as tho road bed is made ready to receive it. Near two years ago we wrote an article calling attention to tho importance of a road connecting our city with tho mineral region of Alabama, in which wo spoke of the commercial advantages our city, as well as Savannah, would derive from such a road. Our proposition was for a road over the route indicated above, commen cing at Opelika and intersoctiug with the Alabama and Tennessee road at the town of Talladega. We spoke, then, of the productiveness of the country through which it would pass, and that which would be contiguous to it, as well as that beyond the terminus, the products of which tho road would draw iu this direction. That article aroused our cotemporarics of the Mont gomery press, and they drew off from us the attention of our Coosa and Talladega friends, by urging a road from Montgom ery to Talladega. Since then, however, our Montgomery friends have located their affections on a different route, leav ing to us an undivided sway over the country wo so much coveted. In impor tance to our city, commercially, tho road indicated above, is second to none yet projected, aside from tho advantages our manufactories and machino shops would derive from it. Just think what an advantage it would be to every house-keeper in our city, to have coal laid down hero at $0.50 to $7 per ton. Owing to the circuitous route the article has to travel at present, and tho many re-shipments before it reaches here, the price now is sll per ton, and the article much damaged by broakage. The article of iron, with which that coun try abounds, is much needed by our foun dry interests. It, too, by this road, could bo obtained at a price greatly to their advantage. This road would throw into our market fully fifty thousand halos of cotton ; and as a groat part of it would bo produced by planters making from ten to thirty bales, it would secure to our merchants a much largor trade than is socured from the producers of tho sumo aggregate amount of cotton in the country penetrated by the Mobile and Girnrd Road. Os course nearly overy bale of cotton that can bo induced to Columbus is almost certain to find its way to Savannah, and on that ac count she is interested in tho road. May we not reasonably, then, look to her for assistance in furnishing the iron when the road bod is ready for it ? IVe think we can. Rolying upon this, then, we say to our Tallapoosa, Coosa and Talladega friends, proceed in the work. The Hen-Rooster. The hen that turned to a rooster, in Goorgia, has boon brought to this place to its original owner, Mr. J. C. H. ltecd. He gave it to a friend twelvo or thirteen years ago, whon he left Georgia, and it has laid eggs and raised chickens ever since, until the present year. It is now somewhere between fourteen and sixteen years of age. It changed its plumage (that is tho ouly chango,) last Spring, and the metamorphosis is perfect. There is no doubt about the fact. Tho parties through whom tho information vcachos us are far beyond the slightest imponchment, and the faot itself is among the most extraordinary of incidents.— Tuskeyec Republican.

We aro not deep Uellenists, but a little peep into our dusty, dog-esred Lexicon assures us that the word springs from the Greek verb IViplylatto—con descendingly printed in italic for our less classic readers. This verb means to guard, preserve, keep, and it requires but the slightest acquaintance with Prof. Dabby’s Disinfectant to convince us of tho groat appoeiteness and force of the name.

Ursgg's Arctic Liniment. —Among nil the medical discoveries and inventions of the pres ent age, none appear to have met with the samo trinmphaut success as Dr. Bragg's Arctic Lini ment. This extraordinary medicine meets the wauts of the public in tho cure of such a large class of diseases that its value cauuot be over estimated. In all cases of rheumatism, neuralgia, ear ache, tooth aohe, and all diseases affecting the nerves, its operation is miraculous. It is also in fallible in curing all eruptive diseases of the skiu, such as orysipelae, scald head, tetter, ring-worm, etc., etc., and instantly extracts the tire from burns and scalds. Sprains and bruises it cures in a very short tiins, causing the coagulated lymph to l>e scattered and driven off. It likewise cures nearly all diseases of horses and cattle. The worst cases of spavin, ring-bone, pole-evil, spring-halt, Ac., yield at once to its curative properties. for sale in Columbus, Georgia, by DANFORTII, NAUKL A CO.

FIFTH DAY. The Conference conveueJ yesterday morning pursuant to adjournment, with prayer by Rev. J. B. Payne. Minutes of Saturday were read and ap proved. The Special Committee in the case of C. Austin, presented their report, which was received, and the following resolution adopted : Resolved, That the Georgia AnnuaLCon ference recommend the Quarterly Confer ence of the Dalton Circuit, to permit the ltcv. C. Austin to present bis grievances before them, so that if they see good rea son or sufficient cause, they grant him a trial on any charges which may come against him, his former act to the con trary notwithstanding. The Committee in the case of Noah Smith, charged with adultery, reported against sustaining the charges, and a motion was made to adopt it. This was objected to by members who desired to hear the testimony and be their own judges. Tho objection was sustained, and the entire testimony had before the Courts in tho case of Miss Sears vs. Smith, for bastardy, was read. After the reading had been concluded, several ministers addressed the Conference in explanation, when the vote was taken, and Mr. Smith unanimously acquitted. The Rev. Mr. Robison, of the South Carolina Conference, and Rev. Mr. Cot ton, of the Alabama Conference, wer introduced to the Conference. The name of Tyre B. Harbin was call ed, and pending the discussion on his case the Conference adjourned. Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid! TUB GREAT PREMIUM DISINFECTANT! A magnificent Pitcher was awarded it at the Alabama State Fair at the recommendation of a special scientific committee, who pronounced it superior to any similar agent now iu use.

THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY LONDON GIN IMPORTED. This Giu, distilled in London from sound Bar ley, under tho surveillance of tho British Ex cise Laws, is delicately flavored ’ with a tino ture of the Italian Juniper Berry, and sorno of the most valuable restoratives of the Vegetable Kingdom, rendering it, in tho opinion of tho most eminent medical men, tho purest and safest stimulant or diuretic drink in use. It is a delicious tonic, of a soft and delicate fla vor, differing entirely from any other Gin, and dovoid of that harsh, acrid tasto, which renders the article known as Holland Gin or Schnapps so objectionable. Though notinteuded as a medieino, it is recom mended by physicians generally in castes of Dys pifsia, Gout, Riibumatimm, Ditopy, Gravel, Colic, Cholera, Fever and Ague, Stricter*, Diseases of tho Urinary Organs, the Kidneys and the Bow els, Nervous Debility, Ac., whilst tho weaker sox will find by Us adoption a sure relief from those distressing annoyances which frequently attend their delicate organization. Dr. Valentine Mott, of New York, the highest medical authority, pronounces Charles’ London Cordial Gin “uot only superior to any other, but the best urticlo of the kind he has ever seen.” It is peculiarly adapted to Bottlers in the South ern aud Western Stab's, as well as for travellers exposed to changes of water and air.

The I’EB FORMING ELEPHANTS, Antony and Cleopatra, are the same which, for months, created the great est furore in Loudon and Paris, while more re cently their performances were the theme of uni versal admiration for months, at the Broadway Theatre, New York.

All their faculties have beeu developed to the greatest extent, and they stand forth sui generis, the most remarkable of their kind. They stand upon their heads, play upon musical instruments,ascend inclined planes, and go througli all the operations of the most ac complished acrobats. in addition, Bailey & Co.’s Circus and Menagerie comprises a splendid collection of WILD ADsTUv'EALS. The troupe of Riders, Vaulters, Lady Equestri ennes, die., is tho largest and most thoroughly artistic now traveling. The Clowns are the very embodiment of fun and jocularity. Their jokes are humorous, fresh, spicy und piquant, full of hits at the times and follies of the day, yet entirely free from anything which the most delicately constituted mind could take the slightest exception to.
