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. WM. SMITH, Watchmaker, No. 81 Broad street.

Requier, Esq., (lute District At torney for tho Southern District of Ala banm,) has been appointed by President Davis District Attorney for tho District of Alabama.

One corporation has lately made, in the pur chase of a cargo of this article, enough to pay its last somi annual dividoud. —• -<•*- . - 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. The Jackson Guards, Capt. J. D. Rags dale, numbering 126 men, from North Alabama ; tLe Franklin Blues, Capt. Jno. Goodwin, from the same section of the State; and the Suggsville Greys, from Clarke county, arrived at Mobile on Hie 27th, en route for Fort Morgan. Cotton .Receipts. In order to compare the cotton re ceipts with faoility, says the Savannah Republican, and show what tho crop this year has to compete with in comparison with last, we subjoin an abstract of the weekly receipts up to the close of our cotton season: For the week ending March 30 99,000 bales. “ “ “ -‘ April 0 70,000 “ “ “ “ “ April 13 59,000 “ “ “ “ -‘ April 20 43,000 “ “ “ “ “ April 27 45,000 “ “ “ “ “ May 4 40,000 “ “’• “ “ May 11 20,000 “ “ “ “ “ May 18 29,000 « “ “ “ “ May 25 67,000 “ “ “• “ “ June 1 .26,000 “ “ “ “ June 8 15,000 •* “ “ “ “ June 15 12,000 “ “ “ “ “ Juno 22 10,000 “ “ “• “ “ June 29 8,000 “ “ “ “ “ July 6 7,000 “ “ “ “ “ July 13 8,000 “ “ “ “ “ July 20 3,000 « “ “ “ *• .

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!” From the Nashville Union, 20tli, 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. Texas State Convention.—Ratifica tion of the Constitution. Ni:w Oulkans, March 28.—Advices from Galveston, Texas, to the 20th inst., have been received. , The State Convention has elected Ford Colonel, und Baylor Lieutenant-Colonel, of a regiment of Rangers, to serve for twedve months ou tho frontier of the State. This regiment is in addition to the oue already ordered by the Secretary of War. On the 21st Gen. Houston and Ex-Rec retar.y Hamilton delivered speeches at Austin, in which they denounced the State Convention and the Permanent Constitution of the Southern Confederacy. On the 2Bd of March the Convention, in committee of the whole, debated the new Permanent Constitution of the Con federate States, and finally adopted it almost unanimously. On the motion to engross the ratifying ordinance, the vote was nearly unanimous for it. The Warrington correspondent of the Pensacola Observer says : We have about sixteen hundred men here now, as fine and brave a crowd to all appearance as ever was assembled; all determined to fight for Southern rights, commanded by wise and experienced officers, high toned gentlemen, many of whom have made military affairs their lifelong study; and “the cry is still they come.” Ido not at all exaggerate when I say that a finer looking body of men could not be seen anywhere ; men who have pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honors, in de fence of principle. I am sorry to report a few cases of ty phoid fever at tho Naval Hospital, Bar rancas. The Charleston Courier, of the 28th says : We learn from the most reliable authority that Agents, representing sev eral very extensive manufacturing estab lishments in Sheffield and Birmingham, England, are expected to arrive here in a few days from New York, for the pur pose of making temporary arrangements preparatory to the establishment ol per manent Agencies for the receipt direct and sale of their wares. A dispatoh from Baltimore says the Methodist Conference of that city have adopted a plan of separation from the Northern Church.
