On tho fourth day of tho session of

transacted beyond the communication of
the Alabama Legislature of the Act
passed by that body, tendering it the use
of $500,000. The communication was

The Governor and members of the
Legislature were invited to acoupy seats
on the floor of the Congress during open
sessions.
Tho Congress then went into secret

Virginia Convention Flection.
Acoordiug to the returns received and
published by tho Petersburg Express,
the “conservatives” have triumphed by
a Urge majority, and the majority for
referring the aotion of tho Convention to
the people will bo correspondingly large.
Among the ‘distinguished Virginians
elected are Alex. If. H. Stuart, Secretary
of tho Interior in Mr. Fillmoro’s Cabinet,
conservative; Wm. Ballard Preston, con
servative; Wm. L. Qoggin, conservative;
Hon. Sherrard Clemens, from Wheeling,
conservative; K. L. Montague, secession
ist. A dispatch from Norfolk says Hen
ry A. Wiso has boen cleoted to the Con
vention from Princess Anno by a large
majority. Ex-Socrota#y Floyd, lately of
Mr. Buchanan’s Cabinet, has been de
feated. He is a “red-hot secessionist.”
Gov. Wise's opponent was ltev. Mr. Bur
roughs, a Methodist preacher.
lion. John Tyler, supposed secession
ist, is elected ; also T. i>. Flournoy, con
servative.
The following was the vote in Uioh
mond: W. 11. Macfarlaud, Union, 2,116;
Marmaduko Johnson, do., 2,116; Oeorge
W. Randolph, secession, 1,885; John O.
Steger, secession, 1,718; Judge John
Robertson, secession, 1,055 ; John Minor
Botts, Union, 1,000.
Madame Jerome Bonaparte.
The Paris correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury says Madame Jerome Bona
part and son, now in Paris, have institu
ted a suit before the “Tribunal of First
instance. ’ It is to claim a share in the
property of old Jerome, lately deceased,
as his lawful wife and child. Aud, as
may be supposed, it is not for the sake of
the property itself, as in order to assert
and vindieate the legitimacy of the Balti
more marriago and of its offspring. The
trouble is, that if this legitimacy be
affirmed by the oourts, then Prince Napo
leon and the Princes Matbiide are illegiti
mate. This will be a troublesome affair
to settle.
A Southern correspondent of the Bal
timore Exchange, speaking of Cotton,
says:
“In traveling through this Southern
country, one is astonished at the immense
quantity of cotton bales be secs. The
cotton gins along the road aro piled up
with them the depots stuffed, and you
seem to be passing miles of them all the
time you are traveling in the ears, while
in all the large towns whole seas of them
seem spread outUefore you, and ships
and steamboats are taking them in all
time by tho thousands of bales.”

Bread Riots.
Tho l.ondon Me: ,:antilo Gazette of the
17th inst., gives tho following aocouut
of serious bread riots in that oily :
“i >ing to the continuance of Die frost,
aud all out door labor being stopped, the
distress aud suffering that prevail in tbo
metropolis, particularly among the dock
laborers, bricklayers, masons and labor
ing classes at the East End, aro truly
horrible. Throughout the day thousands
congregate around tho approaches of the
different work houses and unions, seek
ing relief, but it has boon impossible for
the officers to Bnpply one-third that ap
plied. This led to considerable dissatis
faction, and hundreds have perambulated
the streets, asking alms of the inhabit
ants and of the passers-by.
On Tuesday Dight, much alarm was
produced by an attack made on a large
number of bakers’ Bhops in the vicihity of
the Whitechaped road and Commercial
road, east. They were surrounded by a
mob of about thirty or forty in number,
who cleared the shops of the bread they
contained, aud then decamped. Last
night, however, affairs assumed a more
threatening character, and acts of vio
lence wero committed. By some means
it became known, in the course of the
afternoon, that the dock laborers inten
ded to visit Whitechapel in a mass aB
soon as dusk set in, and that an attack
would be made on tho provision shops in
that locality. This led to a general
shutting up of the shops throughout the
Hast End—a precaution highly necessary,
for between 7 and 9 o’clock, thousands
congregated in the principal streets, and
proceeded in a body from atreot to
streot. An attack was made upon many
of the baker Bhops and eating houses,
and every morsel of food was carried
away. A great many thieves and dissi
pated characters mingle with the mob,
and many serious acts of violence were
committed. The mounted polioe of the
district wero present, but it was impos
sible for them to act against so large a
body of people. To-night another at
tack is apprehended, and much excite
ment exists. The streets are thronged
with groups of the unemployed, seeking
relief of passers-by.

Capacity of tha South to Feed Itself.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, in order to
correct an error that Black Republican
presses are instilling into the Northern
mind, aud to show that the South can
produce the articles necessary to sustain
a people in war, makes the following ex
hibit from the census tables of 1850:
Bushels.
Corn 342,1)33,947 Hogs 20,477,1X2
Wheat 27,733,018 Sheep 6,278,031
Oats 48,419,101 Horses 2,037,702
Hw’t Potatoes 83,318,200 Mules... 503,498
Irish “ 6,668,902 Cows 2,815,922
Tons. Oxen 888,289
Hay 1,058,046 Other Cattle.. 6,073,454
There aro many other products largely
cultivated in tho South, not enumerated
in the above. Heretofore the ootton, rice
and sugar States have found it to be
more profitable to cultivate those staples
to the exclusion of all other products,
aud dopend upon tbo Northwest for oorn,
pork, flour, etc. That was a matter of
ehoico, not of necessity. The border
slave States can supply the whole South
with all the corn, pork and flour it can
consume and have a surplus.
Tile Alabama Stay Law.
Asa wrong impression has gone abroad,
soys tho Montgomery Confederation, of
the Bth, as to the effect of the Stay Law
which has been under discussion for some
time, and which passed the House yes
terday as amended by the Senate, we
wish to make the correction at once.
This law neither resembles tho one
which has passed the Georgia Legislature,
nor that which has passed the General
Assembly of Tennessee. By the bill
which has passed the Alabama Legisla
ture, creditors are allowed to suo at one
term of the court, get a judgment at the
next, and collect at tho following term.
The law in Georgia, we understand, stays
executions until December, while that
in Tennessee is worse than that of either
er Georgia or Alabama.

Alii to tlie Southern Congress.
The following is the Act introduced in
tho Legislature of Alabama by Mr. For
syth and passed by both Houses, tender
ing $500,000 to the Southern Congress
or the Provisional Government formed by

Seo. 1. Bo it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of tho State

aud is hereby empowered and required
to pay out the said sum of five hundred
thousand dollars, in such amounts aud at
such times as tho said Congress or l’ro

Anecdote of Lola Montti.
When Lola Montcz went to California
ns an actress, she engagod an agout.—
This gentleman was a married man, with
two children, aud seeing him uuhappy in
their absonce, she presented bim with
sufficient money to bring them aud their
mother on. Shortly after their arrival,
tho husbaud died. Lola then adopted
the widow and orphans—educating the lat
ter at Mrs Willard’s seminary at Troy. An
officer in the Uuited States navy fell in
love with one of these girls, and Lola,
literally acting in loco parentis, approved
his suit. During her last visit to Eug
land, the marriage took place- Lola did
uot again encounter her protege (who ac
cnmpauiqd her husband to a distant State,
where ho was detailed for public duty)
until a rooent period, when she met her
walkiug down Broadway, iu ootupany with
a lady of the highest ton. With her usual
impulse, Lola rushed to heryouug friend
—literally, the child of her charity—as
to embrace her. The young lady coldly
drew back, and said, “Madam, 1 do not
kuow you !” “Not know me? 1 ntu Lola
Montez.” “Madam,” she exclaimed, as
she turned coldly away, “1 know you
not—l never saw you before, and if you
persist in speaking to me, I will call a
policeman,” and walked away. Lola
went home ‘more in sorrow than in an
ger,” and that same day had tho first at
tack of paralysis, which, a few days ago,
destroyed her.
Departure of Prince Alfred.
Prince Alfred, of England, sailed from
Southampton, England, on the 10th ult.,
on board the English 90 gun screw steam
er St. George, Capt. Francis Edgerton,
for the West Indies and the British Prov
inces of North America. It is supposed
that the St. George, while on this station,
will visit one or two of the ports in the
United States. The J’rinoe occupies the
station of a midshipman on board tho St.
George.

Congressional.
Washington, Feb. 7.— Senate.—Hon.
Mr. Wigfall replied in a severe style to
Johnson, of Tennesseo. Mr. Wigfall de
fended the South and Jeff Davis; his
comparisons.were so unique and felicit
ous as to cause the galleries to be cleared.
House.—The Hon. Winter Davis, in a
vehement speech, endeavored to show
that Maryland was entirely against se
cession iu any form. His speech was
applauded by the Republicans ; and Hon.
J. M. Kuckle, of the same State, was not
permitted to respond.
Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, of Ohio, in
troduced amendments to the report of the

Interesting from Washington.
Washington, Feb. 7.—lt is reported
that Col. Hayne has not yet received the
President’s reply to South Carolina’s
ultimatum.
The peace Conference sits with closed
doors. There is very little hope of their
producing any thing acceptible to the
border States.
Capt. Elzoy’s company of Artillery
have arrived.
About two hundred and fifty Federal
troops arrived here to day.
THE PUESIIIENT RUFUSES TO WITHDRAW
THE TROOPS FROM FORT SUMTER.
Washington, Feb. 7.—The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Her
ald says that the President has given an
answer to South Carolina’s ultimatum,
and requiring another reply from com
missioner Hayne.
The correspondent states that the
Government positively refuses to with
draw its forces from Fort Sumter. Thus
all hope of an amiablo adjustment of
existing difficulties is abandoned.
Special to the Montgomery Advertiser.
Washington, Fob. 7, —The Post Master
General authorizes the contradiction of
the reports widely telegraphed through
out the country, that tho post masters in
Alabama were not making their returns
to the Department with the usual regu
larity.
Southern Congress.
Montgomery, Feb. 7.—The convention
was but a very short timo in open ses
sien.
Tho committee on a plan for a Provis
ional Government, reported in secret
session. Their reported plan was dis
cussed for four hours.
The convention adjourned until to
morrow at 11 o’clook.
It is reported that there is great una
nimity in tho Congress on the plan re
ported.
Nothing of interest from Pensacola—
everything statu quo.

North Carolina Legislature.
Raleigh, Feb. 7.—The military bill
passed the House. Tho bill provides for
the armiug of ten thousand volunteers,
aud tho re-organization of tho militia.
Special to tho Confederation.
Virginia News.
Richmond, Va.,Feb. 7.—Returns from
various counties indicate that a large
majority are in favor of exhausting proper
efforts lor an adjustment of the present
difficulties in the Union. If all such ef
forts fail, Virginia will be for secession.
Much depends on the rosult of the Wash
ington confereuoe. John Minor Botts,
J. H. Gilmer, (a Douglas man) and Mar
niaduke Johnson have been elected to the
Convention from Richmond.
[The above dispatch needs confirmation
—particularly as to tho election of Botts.
More probably Randolph has been elected
instead.— Ed. Sun.]
Texas Secession Ordinance.
A special dispatch to the Charleston
Mercury says tho Ordinance of secession
waß reported in tho Texas Convention on
tho Ist and immediately adopted. The
scene was an improssivc one. By the
terms of the Ordinance the question of
retraining in the Union is to be referred
to tho people. They will vote upon it on
the 23d of February, and if the Ordinance
bo confirmed, as it will be by an over,
whelming majority, the secession of the
Stato is to go iuto effect on the 2d of
March.
Dull Times In Washington*
Tho approach of an inauguration used
to be par excellence the gay seasou of
Washington lifo. Now all is changed. A
correspondent truthfully says:
It gives a man the blues to go to the
hotels, especially to Brown's. The horse
hair seats, that used to be iu the hall,
have beeu taken away. There is no longer
any inducement to loafers to congregate
there, and nearly two thirds of the South
ern members who boarded there are gone.
So neither up stairs nor down stairs is
there the least comfort or entertainment
for any man—baling the bar room.
Distinguished Mechanics.
One of the best editors of tbo Westmin
ster Review could ever boast of, and one
of the most brilliaut writers of the pass
ing hour, was an Aberdeen cooper. One
of the editors of the Loudon Daily Jour
nal was an Elgin baker; perhaps one of
the best reporters of the London Times
was an Edinburg weaver; the editor of
the Witness was Hugh Miller, a stone
mason. One of the ablest ministers in
Loudon was a Dundee blacksmith, and
another was a Banff watchmaker. The
late Dr. Milne, of China, was a Rhine
herd boy. The principal of the London
Missionary Society’s College, at Hong
Kong, was a Huntley saddler; and one of
the best Missionaries that ever weut to
India was a Keith tailor. The leading
machines! on the London and Birming
ham Railway was a Glasgow mechanic;
aud perhaps the very riehest iron founder
in England was a Moray working man.
Sir James Clark, her Majesty’s pbysi
oian, was a Banff druggist. Joseph
Hume was a Bailor first, and then a labo
rer at a mortar and pestle in Montroee.—
These men, however, spent their leisure
hours in acquiring useful knowledge.
Statistics of Slave Owners,
There were in the United States, in the
year 1860,347,625 persons owning slaves.
Os this number two only owned 1,000
each; both resided in South Carolina.—
Niue only owned between 500 and 1,000,
of whom 2 resided iu Goorgia, 4 in Lou
isiana, lin Mississippi. Fifty-six owned
from 300 to 500, of whom 1 resided in
Maryland, 1 in Virginia, 3 in North Car
olina, 1 in Tennessee, 1 in Florida, 4 in
Georgia, 0 in Louisiana, 8 in Mississippi,
29 in South Carolina. One hundred and
eighty seven owned from 200 to 300, of
whom South Carolina hud 09, Louisiana
30, Georgia 22, Mississippi 18, Alabama
10, North Carolina 12, five other States
14, and fonr States none. Fourteen
hundred and seventy nine owned from
100 to 200; all the slaveholding States
except Florida and Missouri are repre
sented in this class, South Carolina hav
ing one-fourth of the whole These five
classes own 1,733 slaves; 0,196 persons
owned 50 slaves each, 29,733 owned from
20 to 60 slaves each, and 69,695 persons
owned from 10 to 20 slaves each. South
Carolina, from this statement, owns
more slaves in proportion to her popula
tion than any other State in the South,
and has a proportionately greater inter
est in secession than any other.
Different Tastes.
A party of negroes gave a grand ball
near Albany last week. Six distinguished
colored gentlemen were driven tbitber by
a white coachman. In a spirit of courtesy
they invited him to enter the hall. lie
accepted the invitation, and was a pleased
spectator, until tho aroma arising from
the sable waltzers becamo somewhat
pungent, and as it grew more powerful
he prepared to leave. Just at that mo
ment one of the colored managers ap
proached with much politeness, and said
the ladies desired the coachman to leave
the room. The manager regretted to make
the request, but the ladies insisted, be
cause, they said, he smelt so much of the
stable.
In raising the treasure of the steamer
Malabar, which was wrecked last summer
on the coast of Ceylon, the divers worked
uuder water through nine feet of sand,
and then cut away large iron plates half
an inch thick, forming the sides of the
mail room of the steamer. Eighty thou
sand dollars’ worth of treasure were thus
obtained in one day. The steamer had
over $1,500,000 in gold on board, all of
which has beeu saved.

THE incontrovertible testimony of countless
multitudes, both in Europe and America,
evince the fact that there is uo imported liquor to
compare with VANDKRVKKR’S SCHIEDAM

lates without iuducing inflammation ; it opens
the pores and channels without auy purging, or
other prostrating effects; it prevents Diarrhoea,
Cholera Morbus, aud Dysentery, as well as their
antipodes, Dyspepsia aud Bile, without driving
the functiouary orgauizatiou iuto the other ex
treme. Can auy one Mediciue do this H It is im
possible. The hygienic properties of Old Vauder

as the test of years.

To Dyspeptics* —AH who suffer the tor
tures which this disease inflicts in one humor
another of its many phases, can be permanently
and speedily cured by using the Oxygenated
Bitters.
Tho Weekly Novelette, of Sej t. 18, says :
Dyspepsia it one of t in* prevailing zTieof
our country. Thin is owing both to climate and
Ihe almost uuivcmal habit of eating our meals
too rapidly to admit of proper digestion. But iu
spite of these adverse circumatancts, this disease,
t.veu when it has become ch onie, disappear
rapidly by tho uoo ot tho Bitters,
which have been found to provo au infallible
remedy.
Tim Oxygenated Bittern.— The following letter
is from a well known clergy man who had suiluied
excruciatingly for a long time, and who hud tried
all kuown remedies aud methods of cure without
finding relief, until the Oxygenated Bitters were
called into requisition:
Clinton, Oneida co., N. Y., Sept. 16,1869
(Jentlemen: Having used several botth-s of your
celebrated Oxygundted Bitiers for that terrible
disease, Dyspepsia, I give you a brief statement of
the salutary effects of the mediciue About four
years since I found that this fell disease had tho
roughly taken held Os me, aud fAMUned its fangs
upou the coats of my stomach tormenting me by
day and by night. For a long time previously I
was unaware of the nature of the disease that
afflicted me, aud the opinions of the physicians
left me as much in the dark as ever. After
mouths of intense physical and mental suffering,
and trying various remedies, putting myself uu
der water cure treatment, and visitiug the South,
without receiving any benefit, I commenced, by
recommendation of Dr. C. Burrows, of this town,
taking the Oxygenated Bitters, and soon found
that the intruder was being driven from nay eys
tem. 1 now feel like anew man, and, unless
from impmdeuce, I suffer but little from that
terrible disease which preyed so loug upon me,
and which robbed me of 85 pounds of llesh 1
now weigh 193 pounds, and call myself protty
well, aud cheerfully recommend a trial of this
remedy to all who are afflicted with any form of
Dyspepsia. To my clerical brethren in particular,
I honestly recommend the Oxygenated Bitters as
the remedy of all remedies.
Yours, truly, HENRY BOYNTON,
Minister es the Gospel.

GREAT ATTRACTION
In the Southern Trade!
WILLIAM SMITH, Watch
maker, No. 81 Broad street,
begs to inform the respected in
habitants of Columbus and its ll* jjjfy,
vicinity that he has relinquished
for the future the sale of
Watches, and intends to give hiß whole attention
to REPAIRS ONLY. Watches are such delicate
machines that if in fixing them the mind is at all
abstracted from the object in view it is very un
certain about them being properly done, and if
you employ a workman to do them for you it is
still as uncertain —for where you get one done
properly and to your satisfaction you are likely
to find three not fit to put into a customer’ll
pocket; aud Mr. 8 does not hesitate to pay there
is no one so likely to do them justice as the
master that knows his trade, and whose whole
and solo interest is absorbed in them.
Mr. 8. has a good stock of well selected Watches
by him, and which he will dispose of at a great
reduction, providing too much time is not taken
up the sale, otherwise they will be sent to public
auction. Tho unprecedented success of his pre
decessor, L. Gatawskey, is the cause of his adopt
ing the same principle.
