GREAT ATTRACTION
In the Southern Trade!
WILLIAM SMITH, Watch
maker, No. 81 Broad street,
begs to inform the respected in- Fr j
habitants of Columbus and its IX
vicinity that ho has relinquish
for the future the sale of new*^*"
Watches, and intends te give his 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 pioperly done, and if
you employ a workmen to do them for you it is •
still as uncertain—for where you get one done
properly and to yonr satisfaction you are likely ,
to find three not lit to put into a customer’s
pocket; and Mr. S. does not hesitate to say there
is no one so likely to do them justice as tho
master that knows his trade, and whose whole '
and solo interest is absorbed in them.
Mr. S. 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, ethorwiso they will be sent to public
auction. The unprecedented success of his pre
decessor, L. Gatawskey, is the cause of his adopt
ing the same principle.

The Dowling Green (Ivy.) Gazette says
the wheat crop iu that region never look
ed so well ns at this season. There is an
unusually large quantity sown, and
without sonio drawback, the yield" of
wheat in the Green River country will
be larger this season than it lias ever
been before.
The Columbus (Miss.) Republic, of the
2-lth, says, that within thirty-six hours
after Gov. l’ettus issued his proclamation
for volunteers, thirteen companies re
sponded, and in loss than live days fifty
would doubtless report themselvos ready
for service.

Counterfeits.
Counterfeit 6’s and 10’s on the Bank of
Mobile are again in circulation, says the
Register, and to the close observer easy
of detection. Several years ago, as we
are informed, a vessel was wrecked on
which were some boxes containing the
blank bills of this bank. These boxes
containing the blank bills of this bank,
were sawed and stolen, and the
bills have several times found their
way to the bank with the signatures, date
and number forged. Wo have lately seen
several of these bills with the names of
Chas. Walsh, President, and J. S. Green,
Cashier, forged. The signatures aro so
clumsy that nny person at all familiar
with the handwriting of the bank officers
can easily detect the forgery.
Crops Iu South-Western Dcorgin.
We were much rejoiced on a recent trip
through the above section of our State,
to notice the abundant provisioh the
planters have made to meet the deficien
cy in the grain crop of last year. Never
before was so great a breadth of land in
that portion of the “cotton belt” sown in
small grain, and never do we remember
to have seen abetter promise of a rich
harvest. MaDy, it is true will not have
corn enough (olast till the oat and wheat
crops come in, as the large shipments of
grain iu that direction proves, but, bar
ring a general disaster to these crops,
they will save thousands and hundreds of
thousands of dollars to our people.—
Another fact we noticed, not less encour
aging than the above, was that a much
larger than the usual proportion ol'land
has been devoted to corn. We cannot be
far wrong in saying that there has been
fifty per cent, more planted in corn this
year than last." The planter has thus
exhibited a capacity to turn to profit the
lessons of experience. Os the young
crop there is generally a good stand, and
it looks finely. It was planted early, for
a very obvious reason and the frosts have
nipped it, but the recent rains followed
by warm suns, have enabled it to over
come such partial disasters. Cotton
planting is now the order of the day, ex
cept with those who have completed that
operation, of whom we learned there was
quite a number in Dougherty county.—
The progress of vegetation seemed to
warraDt early planting in that section.—
On the ridges, ia many places, we saw
the trees in nearly full foliage, and, judg
ing not from feeling, but from tight, on
returning home it seemed that we had
been suddenly transported into the frigid
zone. —Times of Saturday.
A fellow out West being asked whether
the liquor he was drinking was a good
article, replied : “Well, I don’t know, I
guess so. There is only one queer thing
about it, whenever 1 wipe my mouth, 1
burn a hole in my shirt!”

A Terrible Tragedy—A White. Man
lilntderfil and Two Otliera Woun
ded by a IS egro—Lyntli Law.
We have the particulars of a most de
plorable outrage committed by a Negro
man in Sumner county, and his summary
execution by the citizens of the neigh
borhood Ihe facts, as we are iuforined,
are 09 follow;' Mr 'V, C Moore, who
resides at. sun Icisville, in oomner coun
ty, on tho Louisville and Nashville Buil
rond, had recently purchased a planta
tion in Alabama, and wus prepatiner to
remove to it. All of his Negroes except
one expressed entire willingness to go,
audit became necessary to use forco with
that oue. Mr. Moore was handou-ffiing
him for the purpose of Bonding him off
with tho rest of the Negroes. The boy,
it appears, had prepared himself for a
murderous assault upon his master, as
he had a knife concealed in his right
sleove, nnd while tho handcutt'was being
fastened upon his left arm he made a
lunge at Mr. Mooro’s throat, iutlicting a
terrible but not fatal wound, wbich he
followed up with another stroke* cutting
a deep gash upon his chin. By this time
Mr. Saunders and the father of Mr.
Moore came to his rescue, when the ne
gro turned upon tho former and commen
ced cutting him, and then upon the lat
ter, cutting his throat from ear to ear,
almost severing his head from his body,
and killing him instautly. The alarm
having been given, the people in the
vicinity hastened to the bloody scene,
and it was found necessary to shoot the
negro three times before the knifo could
be got from him. lie was thou taken
and hung immediately. It ia thought
the wound of the younger Moore will not
prove fatal.
Virginia Stwtlutlea.
The Richmond Examiner has the fol
lowing interesting statistics of the State
of Virginia:
There are now in this Elate negroes of
tho estimated value of nearly $400,000,-
000. Upon an inside estimate they yield
in gross surplus produce, from sales of
negroes to go South, $10,000,000 ; tobac
co, $8,000,000 ; flour, .$8,000,000 ; corn,
cotton and other products, $2,000,000 —
a total of $28,000,000. Most of the no
groes aro in cismontane Virginia, and
that section pays in taxation, ou per
sons and personal property, lands and
lots, and licenses, $1,750,000, against
$1,000,000 of transmontane Virginia, or
three-fourths more—though the negroes
in tho Valley are thrown in to help the
division to which it is assigned. By the
assessment of 1850, Ihe transmontane
lands are worth $100,000,000, the cis
montane $210,000,000, and pay one
fourth more tax. The annual chiyga
aguinst the Stato for its internal im
provement investment is ono and four
fifths millions ; just about what cismon
tane Virginia contributes to the common
fund. From about 1815 to 1845 emigra
tion to the South was greatest. In that
time Virginia emigrated some 450,000
slaves ; in the middle decado of the term
180,000; and notwithstanding the low
price at which, with one short interval,
slaves rulod iu the three decades, and the
consequent cnoouragemont to home agri
culture, cismontane lands went down 12J
per cent, in the face of a transmontane
appreciation of 50 per cent. —a compara
tive loss to Uastern Virginia of C2J per
cent.
Southern Rights In North Carolina.
At the convention at Goldsboro, of the
Southorn Rights party of North Carolina,
tho following among other resolutions,
were adopted :
Resolved, That tho interest as well as
tho honor of North Carolinanaturally and
imperatively demand that her political
connections, hereafter, should be with
her sister States of the South, and not
with tho States of the North, opposed to
her, as they are, in social institutions and
in pecuniary interests, and enemies, as
they have shown themselves to be, in
both relations.
Resolved, That the forts of the Federal
Government, on the soil of North Caroli
na, were intended to defend and protect,
and not to menace or subjugate her citi
zens, and that any additional force placed
in such forts, not Bimply without the re
quest, but against the wishes- of the
people and of the Executive of the State,
must be regarded as a menace and as
a preliminary step to subjugation, which,
as North Carolinians, we must not only
denounce, but, in the last resort, resist at
all hazards.

wise and experienced officers, high toned

military affairs their lifelong study; and

at all exaggerate when I say that a finer

anywhere ; men who have pledged their
