OOJL.UMBUS: Largest City and Country Circulat ion Friday filoniliiK, Dec*'J3| IESO. Mike L. Wi.oi!.-, K.-q., ol Montgomery, has been nominated ns a candidate !o till the vacancy in the Legislature created by the resignation of M. J- flaffold, Chan cellor elect for tho Southern Division of Alabama. High l*rice for Negroes. Messrs, dames M. Taylor Ai Son, pop ulur Kicltmond auctioneers, sold at the Falls plantation, Chesterfield, a few days since, forty fiat negroes, consisting of men, women ami children, for $44,5)85 —being an average of $991 SO. ♦--- An Ohio Abolitionist named Day was recently arrested by a Vigilance Commit tee in Kentucky, with incendiary papers on his persou. As he had been previous ly detected in the attempt to circulate them and warned thut he would be hung if caught at it, he was swung up without ceremony. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Central Rail Rond and Hanking Com pany, held in Savannah the 20th, a reso lution was adopted authorizing the I’rcsi dont to cause to be erected on a part of the depot grounds, or elsewhere if more ngrconble to the family of tho deceased, a marble monument to the memory of the Hon. W. W. Gordon, the first Dresideut of the Road. Horrible lleatli. The Eufaula Express says a Miss Glass, residing a few miles from that place, was suddenly killed on Friday last, under the following circumstances : She had gone under n gin-house during the rain to milk a cow, wlicd the house fell, crushing her to death instantly. A large beam fell di rectly across her, which had to he cut away before tbebody could be extricated. ♦ New Orleans anil Hired Trade. Tho New Orleans Crescent states that sixty-seven ships aro loading there for Liverpool, sixteen for Havre, uud sixte n for other foreign ports. Sixty-four ot tho principal brokers and cotton buyers of that city have acquiesced in tho reso lution published in the l’rice Current of November 16th, which went into effect Monday, the 12th inst. Vigilance Movements. The citizens of Burke county, in this State, have formed a Committee of Yigi lance. In Chester, S. 0., I he Town Council have appointed a similar committee. At Lowrysville, in the sumo State, two individuals named Hailey were ordered to leave the State, having avowed themselves abolitionists ; and at Vorkville one James McFarland, who confessed himself one, was required to leave the District. A meeting of the citizens of Montgome ry was held Tuesday to form a Vigilance Committee, and adjourned to meet ngain last night. Tli<‘ Accident near Tiiakcgce, For years there have been two stage or omnibus lines between Tuskegec and Cticbaw, on tbe Montgomery and West l’oint Rail Road. Tbe opposition between them has not only been a source of on uoyauco, but ot danger to the traveling community. Tbe accident which bus lately occurred, causing tbe death of Campbell, one of tbe drivers, was caused by a race between tbe two coaches. A passenger in Campbell’s coach informed us yesterday that ono of bis traveling companions was severely, if not danger ously wounded, while be himself made a narrow escape. It is hoped that for tbe future, passengers to and from Tuskegee will be tree front tbe annoyances to which the rivalry between tbe stage lines to Chchaw has subjected them. Alarrlage of Sir. t'oym . Ilcury F. Coyne, Ksq , one of our junior associates in tbe Mail, was yesterday married, by tbe Rev. 1. T. Ticbeuor, to Mrs. Louisa C. Macon, of this city, uud with bis bride departed, on a short pleas ure trip, to Mobile, Now Orleans, etc., on tbe line steamer St. Charles, wliieb left yesterday afternoon. We nre usually opposed to very young men’s tushiug into matrimony, but when us in tbe case of our associate, au old “head sits ou young shoulders,'’ we Icel sure that the happiness of individual aud tbe interests of society will both be promoted by tbe act of annexation. We therefore bid tbe happy couple “God speed’’ on tbe ocean of married life—may their bark find only favoring gales and safe harbors; and may tbe issue of Cogue prove of tbe riglit metal, aud fully equal to all the demands of tbe country.— Montgomerg Moil, 21if. A Lraritrtl liiili. At tlio Alhambra I’slice, honluii, nn educated bull, who has received the ilie tiuguished ii]>|>cllativo of “Don Juan,” nightly displays some extraordinary feats. At the bidding of Ills master, Mr. Dan Costello, he leaps through hoops aud over hurdels, rubs his uose upon the floor, kuenls down, or limps about on three legs to imitate lameness, stands up on a pedestal in the most picturesque if attitudes, aud finally permits himself to bo hoisted on a shutter and so carried arouud the circus on the shoulders of a number of meu whom ho views the while with an air of conscious dignity worthy of a county member on the day of bis “chairiug.” ♦ How the House Liiokn. Tlio members of the last Congress, at the close of the session, ordered the re moral of the desks in the House. There has been some difference of opinion a to the utility of this change. “Ion,” the correspondent of the Haltimore fiuti, says the appearance of the House on Mon day was eery interesting. The galleries were thronged by uu orderly and good looking crowd The members while the roll was called, kept their seats, and looked more like a grave, cului and de liberative body than they ever did before under the old arrangement. The seats will if tried loug enough, he says, never he exchanged for the old plan of chairs aud desks. ♦ Daring Burglary. The confectionary of Mr. ltorrus was entered on Monday night last, the irou chest taken out, carried into an alley near by, forced open, and some S2OO in cash extracted from it. There was a box con taining watches belonging to another gentleman in the chest, only two of which were taken. Irom the maunrr in which the thing was done, w judge the perpe tratora were adepts in the bu.inesa - tufaula Lj press* % /.

It has, to a very large extent, assisted other Companies, and helped, more than any other Rail j Road Company, to build up the present system of roads. It paid near half a ntil- ! lion towards the building of the South i Western Road—it paid SIOO,OOO towards the Augusta and Savannah Road—thirty i thousand dollars to bring tho Montgomery and West Point Road into Georgia—it subscribed the whole iron fur the line from Gordon to Eatonton—it has paid, for the most part, for the valuable lines of j steamships between this port and New York; lines established by Georgia Char tors; and it has granted aid by endorse ment to the South Western Road, the Mus cogee Road and the Mobile and Girard Road to the extent of over $400,000. Toil) hint; Glnwa 111 Drinking A writer iu the Historical Mugaztue for November, thus attempts to explain the origin of the habit of touching glasses in drinking: Oue branch of my ancestry was Scotch, ami devoted adherents to Charles Stuart, While a hoy my father possessed a heavy cut-and-tbrust basket lnlteU sword, which one of the Richardson family, i.,y father’s maternal ancestor, had used at Culloden. From him this tradition descended to the family as to touching glasses in diinking. When, after the failure of the expedi tion of the so-called Pretender, Prince Charles, in 1715, that Prince crossed to France, his supporters were beset with spies on every hand; and it frequently happened that they were placed ;n situa tions when they could not with safety re fuse to respond to tho common toast —“The health of the King.” It wus un derstood between the faithful, that when the “King was druuk, it was “the king o’er the water,” ami to express this, sym bolically, one glass was then passed over another. This, in time, was modified to the salieut touching of the glasses. In the lower part of South Carolina ami iu Virginia, generally settled with cavaliers, the habit has prevailed and spread wher ever their descendants have gone in the South and West. It is the habit of men to-day, in drinking, to touch glasses inva riably—but 1 have never known tbe cus tom explained by any one else. You may rely upon this being its true exposition. - A !!sU !>><!!, We are on the progressive road in Montgomery. Burglaries arc as common as blackberries in season, and other little rascalities are uumerotiß. So far, wo bail escaped confidence games, and “thituble riggiug ” But yesterday we had a speci men ot the ball game A couple of scamps got into a bet in the street on a ball, one otiering a largo wager that the ball was not hollow ; but having no money, pulle I out two check- on New Orleans for three thousand dollars each, ami induced a by stander to advanoe hint S:I,IMM) on them, the amount of the wager with the ball holder. The money was lost, of course the scamps ran off together, of course— and the New Orleaus checks were not “worth a continental,'’ of course. We did not learn the name cf the victim, but he was a stranger iu our city. Every ex ertion was being made last evening to catch the scoundrels, and wo hope they were or will be overhauled. Since penning the above wo learn tho old gentleman who lust the money was moving to Louisiana; that tbe money was if not entirely in gold ; that be transferred to the rogue a Img, containing not only the whole amount of his own money, but also about S6OO belonging to another par ly who had given it to him for safe keep ing Tbe victim lost every cent of cash he bad, ami was heard to say he would have to sell a negro to obtain funds to continue his journey. Monty. OonMtrn li m, 22<f. In a late number of the Klectio Journal, the Editor remarks that youug babies of ten cry from actual thirst. Their natti ral supply is intended as food, not as drink, aud makes them thirsty without quenching the thirst as a cool liquid would. They cry, ho thinks, for cold wa ter. Many a mother is anxious to know what ails the little sufferer that it should cry so loudly, aud, imagining it to be suffering from pain, administers some unnecessary opiate, or pain killer, when all tho child needs is a few tea spoons ful ol good, pure, sparkling cold water As the experiment is a very simple aud easy one, let all mothers try it first, before having recourse to medicine. In warm weather, particularly, ebildren may be suffering from thirst instead of pain, and a small quantity of cold water miiy give them immediate relief. The Caloric Engine sent us out by Messrs. Conner Si Son, from the estab lishment of the Newark Machine Compa ny, has been placed in runniug order by Mr. .luliu 11. Taylor, Agent of the Works, and sou of Mr. A.

We lake pleasure in recommending him to the public. His New York address is “J. 11, Taylor, care A. li. Taylor & Cos., New York."— Mont. Mail. The jewel box of uu Egyptian Queen which was found in one of the King's tombs ill Egypt, lias been taken to I’aris, aud has excited considerable attention. The workmanship ia spoken of as most elaborate and exquisite in design and ex ecution, and cannot he surpassed by the artists of the present day. A small gold crown is particularly well made, ns also a thick gold chain six feet in length. A beautiful chiseled gold plate contains a male portrait, evidently that of the King. The Philadelphia hedger) mentions a singular fact in conneotiou with the recent coal oil discoveries in Pennsylvania in muny places in the valley of Oil Creek, the grouud Is covered with pits, hundreds and thousands of them, evidently dug for the purpose of gathering oil, and at a pe riod ao remote that trees 250 years old are growiug over them.

Money is plenty and cheap, and though there is not so many opportunities for the profi table employment of it as could be de sired, yet there is no reason to doubt that the time is at hand when capital must meet a more active market. .Many of the most important branches of ooimnorce ami industry still drag heavily along un der the embarrassments entailed by the revulsion two years ago, but these, in due time, will also be sloughed off. A gradual, but substantial improvement in the shipping interest, we think, may be put down as one of the inevitable cer tnintios of the early future. There are many causes combining to produce that result, prominent among which is the fact that we have been building but compara tively few new vessels during the twelve months, either in our own yards here, or in those at the East, while the vast num ber of marine disasters, recorded in our columns, especially during the past two months, must, of necessity, largely sub tract from the aggregate tonnage of tbe country, and thus give shipowners tbe advantage of a supply no greater, or not much greater, than the legitimate com merce of the country is really in need of. We dare say two out of every three shipowners to day will admit that in the course of the past ten years more vessels have been constructed on tbe spur of such spasmodic stimulants as those which were furnished by the California and guano trade, the emigration to Aus tralia, and the war between Russia and the Western powers These several events operated for awhile ns absorbents of ton nage. and made money for its owners, but when California had had its day, when guano ceased to bring good freights, when tbe gold excitement in Australia was exhausted, amt peace between the European belligerents, drove scores and scores of vessels to seek new channels of employment, ships were about the poor est property a capitalist could invest bis money in. Competition of the sharpest sort stared us in the face at every turn. English propelers, no longer required for war purposes iu tbe Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Baltic, cut us out on the Atlantic, while their steam fleet to Australia killed off whatever market re mained for us in thut quarter. We also lost the bulk of the once lucrative emi grant trade, together with the richest proportion of freights from the Conti nent. After awhile, in the face of these hard tacts, it was discovered that if we could uot build irou vessels, as well as our trans-Atlantic rivals, the best thing we could do would be stop bail ling wood en oucb at home, and time, we believe, has vindicated the wisdom of acting out that conviction The market is st 11 de pressed, but it does uot groan under th heavy superabundance of tonnage under which it bus been almost hopelessly staggering for a series of years, Tbe signs of improvement nr multiplying.— 1 Dozens of old worn out vessels have been I struck from the rolls, and tbe sea has swallowed up Us sh ire. Despite the sharp competition of the English .-learners, the coasting tr ide and the ports of the l’a j cifie still remain to us intact. Our new j treaty arrangements with Japan must ! soou open up a rich commerce in (lint j quarter, the advantages of which our merchantmen will be the first to reap.— I Cotton freights meanwhile are doing well. The yield of the great Soothe! n staple, it : is admitted on all hands, will be quite equal to, if uot materially iu excess of, the immense crop of last season ; and, us there is every probability that it will all be required lor consumption abroad and i all at home, suitable vessels to bring it to market will be, as they now are, in brisk j demaud. Here at the Nor’lt, breadstutls I are beginning to move; and, if the judg ment of parties who are commonly cou ! sidered as reliable in those matters can I be depeuded upon, the coming spring i will see that movement materially in creased, with an advance in freights ns one of its primary consequences. On the whole, then, without seeking to put too j favorable a face on things us they are, we think it a rational deduction front the foregoing recapitulation of’acknowledged facts, that the prospects of our mercan tile marine are about to undergo a change, it may be, but nevertheless, u sure ad vance from positive depression to compar ative thrift —X I’.
