COLUMBUS: Largest City and Country Circulation. Thursday Morning, Det. S3, 1858. See reading matter on every page. The Houso of Representatives, in Con gress, has speedily ended the Maryland oontested election case, by confirming the right of Mr. Harris, the sitting member, to his seat. Correction. In slating the form of the question upon which the Conference commenced to act Tuesday evening, we were in error. The matter taken up for action, and which was being acted on when the body ad journed, was the roport of the Committeo adverse to the Abby plan. Adjournment of Conference. The question—when will the Confer ence adjourn?—was several times pro pounded to us yesterday. Os course we have no means of knowing. From the progress, howover, made in the business before it, wo think it possible the labors of this body will be brought to a close Friday evening. Homicide. A difficulty occurred on the Escambia river, in Florida, on the 12th instant, be tween Samuel llowers and Oeorge Moore, in which Moore received a stab from a knife in tbo hands of Bowers, causing his death instantly. Bowers was arrested and committed to jail, on the charge of murder in the first degree. Whisky is said to have had something to do with the matter. ♦ Arkansas on the Slave Trade. The following resolution in relation to the removal of the obstructions to the African Slave Trade, was introduced into the Senato of Arkansas, at its present ses sion, and after discussion was postponed by a vote of 15 to lie. it resolved hy the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas , That our Senators and Representatives in Congress bo, and are hereby requested to use their influ ence for the abrogation of all treaties with any and all the nations of tho earth, requiring the United Status to keep a naval force on the African const, and also for the repeal of all laws declaring it pi racy for American citizens to import Afri cans to the United States. Passage of Courtesies. The report in Washington is that Mr. English, of Indiana, and Mr. Montgome ry, of Pennsylvania, met for tho first time this session on Pennsylvania Avenue, at 1.30 a. in., Saturday morning. Euglish exteuded his hand to Montgomery, saying “How are you, Mr. Montgomery?” Mr. Montgomery withheld his hand, and re marked that he “did not speak to pup pies,” whereupon Mr. English hit him over the head with his stick, which was broken by tho blow, while Montgomery was knocked slightly into tho gutter.— Montgomery, in rising, flung a brick at English, but did him no injury. English says he was unarmed, and was not aware that Montgomery had any hostile feeling towards him up to tho timo of tho ren contre. Montgomery is said to be tho larger and more powerful man of tho two. Gen. Scott In Charleston. The Charleston papers of Monday con tains the proceedings of the reception exteuded to Gen. Scott, in that city on Saturday. He is making a military tour of observation of tho condition of tho fortifications of Charleston, Key West, Mobilo and New Orleans. He will return up the Mississippi, to Mcmpbis, and tlienco to Washington, via Stephenson, Dalton, Knoxville and the Virginia Rail Road. He was received in n style becom ing to his position, and to the hospitali ties of the city. The hotels were hung with banners, and the shipping displayed their colors; a salute of fifteen guns was fired, and the dinner, addresses, and pre sentation of citizens occupied the day. On his departure tbo military escorted him to tho steamer Isabel. Tlie Wanderer Affair. The Savannah Republican of Monday, contains the following notice of this affair: The judicial investigation of the case commenced on Saturday last, before Judge Charles J. Henry, U. S. Commissioner. The prisoners, Brown, ltajesta, and Ag nirvi, who were arrested some days ago as part of the crew of the Wauderer, or such other vessel as may have brought over the slaves, were brought up for ex amination. Messrs. Uauabl, Distriot At torney, and lleury It. Jackson, Esq., ap peared for the prosecution, and Messrs. Lloyd & Owens for the defendants. But two witnesses were exauiinod, l>r. llazlo hurst, of Brunswick, and Collector Ma bry, of tho port of Darien. Our reporter was present during tho examination, but it has been deemed by others most pru dent uot to publish the testimony at pres ent. We may briefly state that Dr. H. swore that lie had been sent for to make a professional visit to the negroes while they were encamped on Jerkl Island, that he saw them, that they nppeared to bo Afrioans of fresh importation, being wholly unable to speak or comprehend the English language. After the testimony was received, tho prisoners wore remauded to jail to await a further examination. A large number of witnesses have been subpoenaed, at various points on the coast and in the in terior, and tho proceedings are likely to oooupy the Commissioner, from time to time, for several weeks to come. It is now pretty generally believed that the Wauderer, which is a Tory small ves sel, brought over no slaves, but was sim ply a consort or decoy on the passage, and was used for landing the cargo from the main ship, which remained out at sea and was scuttled so soon as her freight was discharged. We feel quite ooufident in stating that tho account in the New York Herald, of the lfith, of the Wande rer having brought over a select lot of eighty slaves, which sold readily on their arrival at seven hundred dollars each, has no foundation in fact. The lottcr in the same paper, from an American officer on board the United States ship Vincennes, now on the coast of Africa, staling that f Wanderer had gone up the Congo river in eempany with another vessel called the ‘ Helen, in October last, completely refutes the account given by the Wanderer’s men, of her late cruise. GEORGIA CONFERENCE. SKY KNTU DAY. The body convened at the appointed hour, and was opened with prayer by Dr. J. Boring. The character of Elders was taken up and passed. Dr. C. K. Marshall, of Mississippi, then appeared on the stand and presented for the consideration of the Conference, a project for tho establishment of the “Church Evangelist,” which he terms the great central paper of tho Methodist Episcopal Church South. Tho Doctor explained the character and supported the claims of his project in a speech of about one hour. The capital proposed is SIOO,OOO. Tho hour of 1 having arrived, tho Con ference adjourned to 3 o’clock p. m. At the appointed hour, the Conference re-assembled and proceeded to business. The names of superannuated preachers were called, and their characters passed and relations continued. The Committee on the case of Jos. T. Smith reported and his character passed, and his relation was continued. The Committee on Memoirs reported obituaries of Rev. Alexander Averett and Rev. Smith C. Quilhim, who have died during the past year. The Bishop reported the Committees of examination. Conference resumed the consideration of tho question of establishing a Book Depository, upon which it adjourned on Tuesday. Onr Difficulties with Foreign Gov ernments. The Washington papers publish a spe cial messago of the President to Congress, covering highly important documents re lating to our difficulties with Central America, Mexico, England and Spain, which was read in the llouso of Repre sentatives on Thursday last. The mes sago of the President is short, but intro duces it in compliance with a resolution of the House of the 13th inst. The most important part of this correspondence is the letter of Gen. Cass to Mr. Dodge, in relation to the difficulties with Spain and Mexico; and the interview between Mr. Dallas and Lord Malmesbury, in relation to alledged Euglish intervention in Cen tral American affairs. In Gen. Cass’ letter to Mr. Dodge, dated the 21st of October, 1858, he says: “You are awaro of tho position taken by tho United States, that they will not consent to the subjuga tion of any of the independent States of this Continent to European powers, nor to tho exercise of a protectorate over them, nor to any other direct politi cal influence to control their policy or institutions. Recent circumstances have given to this determination additional strength, and it will be inflexibly adhered to, whatever may be the consequences.’ This is quite spunky, and reads very well on paper—after tho many unatoned-for insults we havo received from foreign governments. Gen. Cass concludes by saying: “It is very desirable that this Government should know whether Spain is about to send a force to Mexico, and if so, what is its strength ; and also, what aro tho alleged causes and avowed de signs,” &c. &c. In the interview between Mr. Dallas and Lord Malmosbury, in which tho for mer “regretted that his lordship had ex pressed some leaning in favor of Mr. Belly’s project,” Lord M. disclaimed having done so. Mr. Belly was patron ized neither by England nor France. He was a speculating adventuror. It was immaterial by whom the opening of the transit was effected,” &c., &c. Other matters were brought to tho notice of Lord Malmesbury by Mr. Dallas, in this “interview.” The correspondence will cover over three columns in tho Sun; and as soon as we can sparo the space, it will be laid before onr readers. Atrocious Affair. We learn from the last Bainbridge (Ga.) Argus, that on Sunday night, the 12th instant, two negro men—one tho property of Mr. Perkins, the othor of Mrs. Kenton —entered tho house of Mrs. Margaret Sadler, about twelve miles north-cast of that place, by breaking down the door, and commenced an attack on ber oldest daughter, aged about eighteen years, cutting her on the arm and breast and bruising her head, but not mortally wounding her. One of them next seized a gun from the rack and attempted to discharge it at Mrs. Sadler, but finding it empty, commenced beating hor over the head with it, bending tho barrel and breaking off tho breeching, so severe wero the blows. They also boat her with boards whioh they had torn from tho door, and cut her severely with knives.— Slto survived oniy about two hours. The ‘second oldest daughter made good her escape, but two other children wero badly cut and bruised—one of them, a boy about eleven years old, is terribly mangled, and cannot possibly live. Tho other is an infant only three years old, which will probably recover. This fiendish and atrocious affair is almost without a parallel in tho aunals of crime. Tho murderers have been arrest ed, and are safely lodged in jail in Bain bridge. Tho Argus says Mrs. Sadler was a respectable but poor woman, who lost her husband, Mr. Moses Sadler, about a year ago. Her daughters, too, are above reproach. This sad occurrence has spread a gloom over the entire community. We think if thero ever was a case that required summary punishmont by burn ing, this is one. Dmlli of lion. T. Plilabury. The San Antonio (Texas) Ledger an nouuces the death of Hon. Timothy Pills bury, at his residenoe, near Danville, Texas, on the 23d ult. For the two first i terms after the annexation of Texas, he represented its second district in the j Congress of the United States, when he retired from the exoitement and labor of a public life. Col. Pillsbury was in the 69th year of his age. Naval Depot—A Word to the Georgia Delegation. We copy tho following article in rela tion to the Brunswick Naval Depot, from the last State Press, and commend it to the attention of the delegation of Georgia in Congress: We trust it will not bo deemed obtrusive for us to urge upon the attention of our members in Congress a subject that deep ly conoerns our State—we allude to the projected naval depot near Brunswick, in which every Georgian and Southern man must and ought to feel interested. It will be recollected that more than two years ago Mr. Dobbin, who was then Secretary of the Navy, appointed a board of exam iners, to report upon tho best location for the establishment of such a depot, be tween the ports of Norfolk and Pensacola; and, after thorough investigation, the board reported Blythe Island, in tho vi cinity of Brunswick, as being in all res pects the most suitable and desirable point. Consequently, at the session of Congress of 1856-’57, (thanks to the zealous and indefatigable exertions of Hon. James L. Seward, tho Representa tive from our first Congressional district,) an appropriation of two hundrod thous and dollars was made for that purpose.— Os this sum a portion has been used in purchasing the site; but since then the Navy Department appears to have forgot ten it—our Congressmen have neglected it—a general lethargy seems to have over spread it, and unless an effort is made to break this Rip Van Winkle slumber, we apprehend the whole affair will be suffer ed to remain in statu quo until the “crack of doom.” Therefore, as a Georgian, and tho conductor of a Georgia journal, hav ing her welfare at heart, we fell it our duty, and wo are sure the citizens of the State will sustain us, in making this ap peal to our Representatives to act in this matter promptly, earnestly and faithfully . — Their constituents expect it of them, and it is incumbent upon them to do it. The government has already invested too much money in the proposed depot to suffer it to remain idle. Tho question is asked, why is not tho act of Congress carried out? Economy, if no other consideration, should cause additional appropriations to bo made at once to carry out the work al ready begun. Had this been a Northern appropriation, the project would long ago have been perfected; but our Represen tatives content themselves with emitting gas about Southern rights, Southern in terests and Southern equality, and then sleep upon their posts, suffering millions to go to the North without stretching forth their hands to secure a beggarly pittance of a few hundred thousand dol lars for the South. The Northern people suck the marrow, and we grumblo over the bones ; they drink the pap and we lick the spoon; the dollars and dimes are thrown into their sido of the scale, and our end kicks tho beam. These things ought not to be. We might say more, but it is needless. Our Representatives are not ignorant of the importance of this depot, not only to our ow T n State, but to the South, and, indeed, to the whole country. Without, therefore, entering into an extended and unnecessary argu ment, we conclude with the earnest hope, which will doubtless meet with a response throughout the State, that immediate and efficient action be taken in the premises. We deem it necessary merely to direct the attention of our Congressmen to this matter, in order to secure the desired result. P. S.—Since the above was written we have found the following resolution, pass ed by the Legislature on Saturday, the day of adjournment: The rules were suspended, and Mr. Stiles moved to take up and agree to a House resolution requesting our Senators and Representatives in Congress to urge the early construction of a Navy Y'ard on Blythe Island.

December 22,1858-6 t W on tier fill S—Accident and various applica tions have lately developed some very wonderful and most pleasing results. One gentleman writes from Albany, N. Y., of very astonishing effects in bis case (given up by all the doctors of that learn ed capitol.) Another case just transpiring in Phil adelphia, now attracting no little attention, to gether with some others, a statement of which the Dr. is now preparing, will soon turn such a tide of inquiry and interest upon my ELECTRIC OIL, ns was never before directed to a medical discovery. More has already been demonstrated than wo dare proclaim ; us it would not be half believed. It lias afforded immediate relief in many cases of Prolap sus uteri, and Piles are relieved as if by magic. A gentleman from N. C. came here with his family to havo his eyes operated on, having nearly lost them from Neuralgia and Rheumatic affections, has been so relieved as to defer tho operation, in the confident belief that my Oil will restore him. It has afforded most unexpected relief in tlie breast and side, attendod with cough and sore throat, and it at once relieves the worst kinds of running sores, felons, and all painful affections; 4 thoroughly and promptly cures Rheumatism. John Wyeth, Esq., tho well known druggist of Harrisburg, writes, June Oth, “that Mr. Forbes of that place, who had suffered great pains about his loins aud on one tide about the hip, after using Dr. Jayne's remedy a week, then had the aid of a phy slcan some time, who bled him, Ac., was effectually cured with one bottle of my Oil.” We want you tocome, let us examine your case; do bst be dis heartened, i.we make no falso promises, we are a regular physician, and, moreover, you do uothave to pay a long time for medical advice aud then be told you can not he helped. We make no charge for advice, if we cannot cure you we tell you so. Come, old aud youug, with your pains, to No. 3‘J Souih Eighth stroet, three doors below Chesnut. P.

Numerous cases of Dyspepsy, of the most aggravated character, which were abandoned as incurable by some of the Medical Faculty, have, by the use of this Elixir, been re- j stored to perfect health, as attested certificates j testify.
