GREAT ATTRACTION
In the Southern Trade!
WILLIAM SMITH, Watch- g£L
maker, No. 81 Broad street,
begs to inform the respected in- fr / gfgg
habitants of Columbus and its 1L JmSJ
vicinity that he has
for the future the sale of new™*^^
Watches, and intends to give his whole attention
to REPAIRS ONLY. Watches aro 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 <mt. done
properly and to your satisfaction you aro likely
to find three not fit to put into a customer’s
pocket; and Mr. 8. does not hesitate to say there
is no one so likely to do them justice as the
master that knows his trade, and whose whole
and sole 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 i
reduction, providing too much time is not taken |
up the sale, etherwise they will be sent to public
auction. The unprecedented success of his pre
decessor, L. Gatawskey, is the cause of his adopt
ing tbe same principle.

From Pensacola.
Correspondent of tho Pensacola Obser
ver from Warrington, April 10th, soys:
An order was given last night that all
the drinking soloons are to be kept closed
for 36 hours, and that no spirituous li
quors are to be givou or vended to any of
the soldiers engaged iu the cause of
Southern Independence. This is a wise
and salutary precaution, which reflects
credit upon the commanding officer, Gen.
Bragg.
The Wyandotte went outside from Fort
Pickens at an early hour this morning.
The Wyandotte visits the lleet noaily
every day.
The propeller Cushman, chartered by
the authorities of the Confederate States,
and“now in their service also went to the
fleet this morning with dispatches.
A general impression seems to prevail
amongst all classes here that an assault
will be made on Fort Pickens within three
days—all things seems to confirm such an
opinion.
From the Pensacola Observer.
Letter from Major Chant,
Messrs. Editors: A friend has informed
me that blame has been attached to me
for not taking Fort Pickens when author
ized and directed to do so by Gov. Perry.
A simple statement of the facts of the
case will exonerate me from all blame in
the matter.
On the 31st December, 1860, I wrote a
letter to Gov. Perry proposing a plan for
taking the forts, and committed it to the
charge of Col. YoDge, who expected lo
leave that day in the mail steamer for
St. Marks. In consequence of a storm
the mail steamer did not arrive at Pensa
cola until the morning of the 3d of Janu
ary.
On the 3d of January I received a dis
patch from Gov. Moore, of Alabama, da
ted January 1 st, requesting me to proceed
that night to Montgomery. The dispatch
did not reach me until half past 10
o’clock a. m. of tho 3d. I loft for Mont
gomery al 0 o’clock p. m. on the same
evening; and being detained at Murder
Creek by the flood, did not arrive at Mont
gomery until January stb, at 5 o’clock p.
M. I visited Gov. Moore and was in
formed by him that orders had been sent
to take Mount Vernon Arseual and Fort
Morgan. After I had retired to bed Gov.
Moore called to inform me that Gov. Perry
had telegraphed him that he would seize
tbe Pensacola forts, and asking his co
operation, and that he would write by
mail. *
I received no telegraph from Gov. Per
ry and waited at Montgomery on the Gth
for that purpose. At half past D o’clock
I received a telegraph from Gov. Perry,
dated Tallahassee, Jau. Gth, in reply to
my letter delivered by Colonel Yonge, in
these words: “Yes and go ahead imme
diately without wailing for secession—
prepare well—you have ample authority,”
I left Montgomery on the morning of
the 7th, by rail, and arrived in Mobile on
the morning of the Bth January. I ar
ranged with Col. Shepard to collect a
force to proceed as soon as possible to
Fort Pickens, by steamer, and capturo
that work. Colonel Shepard, with great
promptness, proceeded to execute my
orders. On tbe 9th of January I left
Mobile for Pensacola and arrived there
on the 10th of January at 4 o’clock a. m.,
and was informed that Fort Pickens had
been taken possession of by the federal
troops from Barrancas. 1 telegraphed
tostop Colonel Shepard’s expedition from
Mobile.
It should be stated that Gov. Perry act
ed in the promptest manner. Col. 7 onge
did not arrive at Tallahassee until the
Gth January, when he hastened to deliver
my letter to the Governor, who instantly
telegraphed me, giving me full power to
act.
The plan so well devised for the capture
of Fort Pickens and the others forts in
this harbor, and so promptly approved
when received by Gov. Perry, was defeat
ed by no lack of energy and diligence of
those engaged to carry it out; but by the
act of Providence, which, through the
interveution of a storm, delayed tbe mail
steamer three days in her transit to St.
Marks.
By no one was this failure more deeply
deplored than by myself.
Wm. H. Chase.

t’orrosponrlcnee Pensacola Observer.
Warrington, April 9,1861.
Dear Observer: —l omitted to say in
my communication of yesterday that the
Uniled States storeship Supply arrived
at ihe anchorage off the harbor ou Sun
day last, with provisions for the fleet aud
Fort Pickens.
Tho steamer Dick Keys, with a large
store of provisions and two companies on
board, arrived during the night. The
force grows truly gigantic in proportions
—over four thousand men, and still they
come from Alabama, Georgia, Lottsiaua,
and Mississippi. Thcso bravo men know
that the hour has come when the South
expects every man to do his duty.
About eight o’clock this morning a gun
was tired from out, which was answered
from Fort Pickens by the tiring of a gun
from the Fort. A rumor was current
at the time tho U. S. frigate Minnesota
had arrived off the harbor, but this report
lacks confirmation.
I learned this morning that positive
orders had been received from Montgom

Infallible Cure for Toolbaelie.
Among tho many diseases that human
ity is heir to, there aro scarcely any
which in violent pain and acute suffering;,
rival the toothache. And yet, as far as
we are able to judge, though the affection
is common to all, but a few are aware of
the fact, that other remedies exist besides
tbe extraction of the tooth, which if only
tried, will be t and infallible. Tho fol
lowing, for instance, suggested to us by
a friend, will, if his experience and
veracity are vfirth anything, prove in
valuable in the relief of this torment:
Take equal quantities of alum and com
mon salt, pulverize ami mix them, aud
apply them to the hollow tooth ou a wet
piece of cotton. The remedy is very
simple, very cheap, and within the reach
of all. If any one will try it he will find
it infallible'— Petersburg Express.
Heavy Supply of Grain at Chicago.
Our tables show that we have now in
tho city at least 4,300,000 b’ls. of grain.
The amount is probably greater. Os this
we have 1,650,000 bushels of wheat, aud
1,600,000 bushels of corn. Taking the
amount in store, “by ciphering,” some
very curious results will bo reached.
Allowing 160 bushels to the load, nearly
double what the farmer’s team hauls, and
it would take 71,666 teams to draw it;
and if each team occupied 20 feet, it
would take 865 miles ofroad to give them
standing room. This is exactly tho dis
tance between Chicago and Cairo. And
again it will require 287 vessels and
propellers to clear out our warehouses if
each one take a load of 15,000 bushels.

Absence of Mind.
What is cotnmouly called absence of
mind has never been considered incotn
patible with the presence of a vigorous in
tellect. The late distinguished mathe
matician, Professor II n, of Aberdeen,
was notorious for his absence of mind.
Emerging hastily one day from the arched
gateway at King’s College, lie stumbled
against a cow, which chanced to be pass
ing. In the confusion of the moment,
the Professor raised his hat, exclaiming,
“I beg your pardon, madam!” Walking
in Union street, a few days afterwards,
he did identically stumblo against a lady,
who was walking in an opposite direction.
In sudden recollection of his former
adventure, ho called out, “Is that you

A Cargo of Slaves Landed ou the
Island of Cuba.
Capt. Hickey, of the ship Alice Ball,
has furnished us with the following ac
count of a foro and aft-rigged schooner
landing a cargo of slaves four or five miles
to the westward of Cape Corentes, iu
Cuba, lie states that on the 29th ult., a
few hours after having seen the wrecked
ship, distinctly saw a clipper schooner
landing a cargo of slaves in small boats.
She, at the time, was lying some throe
miles from tbe land. Capt. II was un
able to tell the number, but thinks the
schooner had a full complement some
two or three hundred head of Africans,
intended for the different markets on the
island.
Tbe Durability of Ntone.
It is said that the stone of which West
minster Palace is built is doomed to entire
destruction unless speedily proteoted by
some covering. The stone is not crys
talled, and rapidly decays when exposed
to the sulphate of ammonia with which
the atmosphere of London is very consid
erably chaVged. Public buildings very
frequently suffer from not using the
proper kind of building stone. The col
umns of the Customhouse iu this city are
an instance. The marble is in a condition
of exfoliation, as anyone may see by ex
amining it. Baltimore Sun.
