It has been noticed that the shrewdest of our business men are always the first in the field with advertisements of their Christ mas holiday wares, and already our columns begin to show the signs that they are wide awake this year to the advantages of catch ing the eyes of customers early in the sea son. They appreciate the fact that a large proportion of the purchasers of holiday goods prefer to mako their selections in ad vance, when they can avoid the rush, and get the pick of the market. It is now not quite a month before the great holidav will come, and the hearts of the little folks are already beatiDg high in anticipation. No matter how hard the times there is not parent in the land who will feel too poor to purchase some juvenile gift for the ex pectant little ones at home. And the wonderful variety of holiday presents now supplied by the caterers in this Hne, affords a range of choice, suiting the humblest as well as the best filled purse. The Morn ing News, with its universal circulation, will afford the best medium of communica tion between the sellers and the purchasers of Christmas wares. couple of magnificent oranges raised near that city. The Radical Executive Committee of the last campaign must be rather hard up, as we understand they have never paid their printing bill. A culvert some ninety feet long has re cently been put under the Coast Line Rail road just beyond the low lands of the Atlan tic and Gulf Railroad. There is a new song entitled “Don’t Go Near the Bar-room, lather.” Now look out for a companion song “When there’s Whis key in the Jug at Home.” Savannah is to be envied. One of hor citizens has appropriated under the forms of law one of our brightest je .vela to him self.—Atlanta Constitution. It is reported that a Radical sheet, run by Deveaux, Toomer, and others, colored, with John H. Deveaux, colored, as editor, will make its appearance next Saturday. Tbe Radicals are making another effort to secure additional election precincts. The outrages and frauds of 1868 are not forgot ten, and it is not likely the scheme will suc- oeed. Hebcv Skipper, the guard of the chain- gang who accidentally shot himself on the Ogeechee road recently, is now in Macon under the care of a physician, and is re ported as doing well. The Spanish bark Galccran, Capt. Maris- tany, was cleared Saturday by Messrs. Chas. Green, Son & Co. tor Barcelona, with 2,100 bales upland cottOD, weighing 965,807 pounds, and valued at $132,005 86. The American ship Joseph Fish, Capt. Stackpole, was cleared for Liverpool Satur day by Messrs. Williams & Crane, with 4,223 bales’ upland cotton, weighing 1,978,989 pounds, and valued at $256,135 53. Messrs. Saverese & Bro., in the market.re- ceived from Florida a large black grouper weighing three hundred and fifty pounds, the third of the kind that has been brought to this city within the past two years. Mr. J. D. Perry’s gin-house near Munner- Ivd, on the Central Railroad, was destroyed by fire last Wednesday night. Seven hales of cotton were also consumed. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. A guard is expected to-day or to-morrow to take the penitentiary convicts to the coal mines. A crowd of several hundred ne groes assembled at the Central Railroad epot yesterday morning, anticipating that they would be sent off. Mr. Henry F. Suiter, First Foreman of the Werner Hook and Ladder Company, was slightly injured hv the falling of a ladder during a practice by the company on the corner of Bay and Lincoln streets. He was up yesterday and doing well. Mr. Henry Hogrieff, who was assaulted by the negro Henry Stykes in his store on the White Bluff road a short time since, is improving. His wife, who it will be recol lected was beaten at the same time, is also doing well, and will soon be about as usual. On Saturday afternoon a little hoy, two and a half years old, son of Mr. John Knox, liv ing in St. Gall street, near Harris, whilst playing in the street was knocked down and run over by a one-horse wagon driven very recklessly by a negro, but fortunately escaped serious injury. Yesterday morning when the church bells were ringing and the hilcyon wing of peace, it is presumed, shadowed every Christian heart, we hear there was one unhappy man, who generally sits in a front pew, on this occasion sitting on the side of his bed with a thumping headache, counting the small change of his weekly stipend cheered by his spouse’s lively satire. The Berger Troupe of Boll Ringers gave their farewell performance at the Theatre Saturday to quite a fine audience. A pro gramme varied, amusing and attractive was presented and was carried through in the usual excellent manner. We are pleased to kuow that this fine troupe have met with abundant success here and commend them to the favorable consideration of our breth ren of the press as an org&nizatiou well worthy in all respects oflfcberal patronage, BISHOP BECKWITH.

Atlanta, Ga., November 23, 1875. To the Rt. Ret. J. IF. Beckwith, Bishop of the Diocese of Georgia: The undersigned, members of the congre gation of St. Phillips Church, and others not belonging to the Episcopal communion, re spectfully request that you repeat at your earliest convenience, a sermon preached by you in this city several months since, upon the text, “What shall a man give in ex change for his soul?” Apart from the plea sure to be derived by those who heard the sermon when first delivered, from its repe tition, we are persuaded that so fine an in tellectual effort, with so broad and catholic a Christian tone and Bpirit, cannot fail to be productive of much good in stimulating the interest of those who shall hear it on the subject of their own salvation. We shall be pleased, Bishop, by the as surance thac you will shortly comply with our request, and beg that you name the earliest date consistent with your profes sional engagements and personal con venience. (Signed) J. L. Robertson, and fifty others. Atlanta, November 26, 1875. My Dear Major Robertson : I reached home to-day, and find your favor of the 23d, accompanying a request, signed by a number of gentlemen of At lanta, yourself among the number, asking that I repeat a sermon preached by me some months since upon the text; “What Bhall a man give in exchange for his soul ?” I believe that a clergyman has a right to consider such requests, with such signa tures, as indications of the will of Provi dence. The Master has “chosen tbe weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.” It would, therefore, be a mere weakness were I to hesitate to act upon the hope that he will use my endeavor for the benefit of some who may hear me. For thi3 reason I gladly accede to your request. On Sunday morning next (Sfith), I expect to administer the rites of Confirmation in St. Philip’s Church. If that time will suit the convenience of those who wish to hear tho sermon, I will theD, Providence permit ting, preach it. Begging that you will as sure the signers of this request of my high appreciation of the honor they have con ferred upon me, believe me Most respectfully, your friend, J. W. Beckwith, Bishop of Georgia. S EAL?' and PRESSES for County officers. No- taries. Lodges, Societies, etc., and RIBBON stamps) hi- SBLK PAD STAMPS, and HAND Detention of the Citv Point.

To-morrow (Tuesday) evening there will he a novel exhibition at Masonic Temple, from 3 p. m. to 9 p. m., in which the merits of George V. Hecker & Co.’s self-raising flour will be fully demonstrated. Many of our housekeepers, doubtless, have used self- raising flour, they are possibly not ac quainted with the precise method of using this valuable auxilary in tne domestic affairs of the present age, as we have heard some complain that they were disappointed in its use. It is for this purpose that Mr. Joseph Gorman and Mr. Robert M. Floyd, representatives of the firm, have arranged the exhibition at Masonic Tem- f »le, and an opportunity will be afforded the adies of Savannah of learning exactly how to use it, and the excellent things that may be made out of it. The occasion will be made quite interesting, and will undoubt edly prove amusing. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation from Mr. Gorman to be present, and shall endeavor to be there, as our curiosity is alike excited on the subject, though personally wo don’t contemplate experimenting. From present indications our people will this week be deprived of amuse ments of any character, but the coming week will be one of nnusual brilliance and attraction, and the dUletanli will have the opportunity of enjoying the best rendition of English and Italian opera. On Monday next, the 6th of December, the Holman English Opera Company will occupy the Theatre for two nights only. This company, since their appearance in this city, have betm reorganized, aud daring the season have met with unprecedented success throughout the entire conutry. The cele brated opera, “Girofle-Girofla,” which has created such a furore wherever presented, is billed for the opening night. As this opera is new to the majority of our readers we give the argument annexed, which may he preserved for reference : Don Bolero d’Alcarazas, a Grandee of Spain, and his wife Anrore, have two chil dren, twin daughters, Girofle and Girofla, who are so remarkably alike that the only means of distinguishing them is by their clothes. One wears blue and the otner pink. Don Bolero, when the piece opens, is in great trouble and danger from two quarters—he owes four million of fraDcs to a banking house, Marasquin et Cic., and ii threatened with proceedings for its re covery < while he is also in dread of an in vasion of his territory by a fierce neigl bor of his, a Moor, Mourzouk. Aurore has contrived to appease these two enemies by sending them the portraits of her daugh ters, and arranging a double marriage— Marasquin to marry Girotle and Mourzouk Girofla. The piece opens on the jedding day. Marasquin arrives attired for the bridal, and is indignant when he is informed that Mourzouk, owing to a toothache, is unable to come, and that the wed ding must be postponed until the next day. Bolero, from motives of economy, will not give two breakfasts, and wishes both the weddings to be on the same day. But Marasquin insists on being married at once. All is arranged, when Girofla is car ried off by a redoutable band of pirates. •Bolero sends a celebrated Admiral. M&ta- moros, in pursuit of the pirates, and he undertakes to restore him his daughter by the evening. In the meantime, Mourzoukl recovered from his toothache, having had his teeth pulled out, appears, ready also to be married, and demands his bride. Every one is frightened at his fierce appearance and manners; Bolero is afraid to tell him that Girofla has been carried away, and tries to put him off, but Mourzouk, in a most threatening manner, insists on her being produced at ouce. Aurore at last hits on a plan, and putting the pink ribbon on Girofle, introduces her to Mourzouk as Girofla, in order to gain time. In their terror, they al low her to go through the marriage ceremony with Mourzouk in place of her sister, al though she is already married to Marasquin, intonding to substitute Girofla for her when she is brought hack by the Admiral. Various expedients are resorted to by Bolero and his wife to keep Girofle out of sight of her two husbands, until the return of her sister, and much confusion naturally ensues. The hour approaches at which Matamoros prom ised to reappear, when a messenger arrives from him with the appalling news that he has been defeated by the pirates, and that Girofla is on her way to the Seraglio of Con stantinople. There is now no chance of her being recovered until the next day, although Matamoros intends staiting again in pur suit; Bolero and Aurore, in an agony of ter ror, lock Mourzouk up in his room. The next day Mourzouk, furious at the treatment ho has received, having smashed all the furniture in his room to calm himself a lit tle, demands an explanation. Bolero at tempts to explain, but fails, and beg-i Mar asquin to allow his wife—Girofle—to per sonate her sister for a short time. Marasquin is most unwiliiug, but yields to the decep tion to save his father-in-law, with the uu- derstauding that Mourzouk is obliged to depart in an hour’s time on an expedition. Mourzouk demands to be left alone to talk with his wife, and the time of departure ap proaching, takes his leave. Bolero, Aurore, Marasquin and Girofle break into manifes tations of joy at his departure, and Maras quin embraoes Girofle with effusion. Mour zouk at this moment returns, aud seeing all this, demands of Marasquin what lie means by kissing his (Mourzouk’s) wife. Maras quin refuses to explain, aud Mourzouk chal lenges him to combat. Marasquin will not fight, and tells Mourzouk the truth. An other explosion o' - rage from Mourzouk ii imminent, when Matamoros returns, bring ing back Girofla, whom he has rescued, aud every one is satisfied. On Wednesday, the 8th December, the Masonic Temple will be opened for the first time this seasou by the Adelaide Phillipps Grand Italian Opera Company, comprising the following talent: Miss Adelaide Phi - lipps, Miss Matilde Phillipps, her debut In America; Miss Violetta Colville, Siguoriua Lamberti, Soprani; Mr. Tom Karl, Signor Bog&niui (his debut in America), Tenori; Signor Taliapietra, Baritone; Signor Carpi (his debut in America), Basso Cantaute: Signor Baccelli, Basso; Signor Barberis, Second Tenor; Signor Locatelli, Second Bass; Signor A. Tomasi, Musical Director, and a full chorus and orchestra. Concerning the appearance of thia splen did troupe in the Crescent City, the New Orleans Picayune says: New Orleans is pre-eminently a musical city. It has always abounded in resident artists of great natural power, cultivated to the highest by art aud study, aud in proportion to its population no city on the continent possesses so large a number of talented amateurs, with highly cultivated musical taste. Long before the opera had obtainod a foothold in any other city on this side of the Atlantic, it was an established institution in New Orleans; and the operatic stage in this city has drawn to its boards nearly every European celebrity in succession. In consequence the standard of mnsical art aud taste stands high. It is, therefore, not presumptuous to assert that any vocalist who meets with favor in New Orleans, may be considered safe before any intelligent audience anywhere. In fact, we believe that the pronounced judgment of the New Orleans musical public will be found as conclusive as the fiat of a Parisian audi ence, once considered so necessary to stamp a musical reputation. In it is, we think, that no small addition to Miss Adelaide Phillipps’s former tri umphs that her appearance before a New Orleans audience has been greeted with such unanimous approbation. The appro bation has been as enthusiastic on tho part of the hearers as it is merited by the artiste. Of Miss Phillipps’s artistic attainments there is no question. Her style, as varied as it is exquisite and profound, showed that she had studied in the best schools. The effect of her performance has thoroughly disabused people of the idea that it is not necessary to como from a particular 8pot to exhibit the qualities of a great artiste. Genius is of no age or country ' belongs to them all. Adelaide Phillipps, as an American, has made Americans proud of the progress of art in this country. Her voice, a pure con tralto of unusual compass, has been culti vated to very perfection, and while it pos sesses all the brilliancy and polish of art, it yet retains the freshness and purity of na ture. Though vigorous, strong and majes tic, it is capable of the most facile execu tion. Roulades, thrills, profuse ornamenta tion are perfectly at her command; at the same time she never sacrifices to brilliancy of execution the simplicity combined with refinement, so hard to attain, and so charm ing when attained. Coupled with all this is associated a musical temperament and ma tured judgment, which gives her the power of interpreting, as it were, the innermost thoughts of the composer. We h ipe no long interval will elapse be fore we may have a repetition of the exquis ite musical enjoyment afforded by the sing ing of Miss Phillipps. THE STATE AND FEDERAL. COURTS. Prospect of a Clash of Aathoritles—Old Taaio G. Cajapbell’s Case. During the past several days we have been cognizant of a desperate effort among the Radical officials and friends of the notorious old reprobate, Tunis G. Campbell, to pro tect him from a jast punishment of his crimes. At present Tams is ander sentence to the penitentiary, but has been confined in the coohty jail in consequence of his case having been carried to the Su preme Court. He is, however, under in dictment for a similar offense, for which he w&a convicted and sentenced, and it was the intention to have him conveyed to Mc Intosh County Court on Monday next to undergo trial. Anticipating a like result to thia case, the counsel of ( ampbell, George H. Thomas, Assistant U. S. District Attor ney, has been at work devising means to errect a transfer of the case from the State Court to the United States Court, on the alleged ground that Campbell cannot get justice in the former. In accord ance with these views, the assistant Uni ted States Attorney has filed a petition in the United States Court for a writ of tiabeas corpus, setting forth in detail the allega tions above noted, and under the following sections qaoted, the Clerk has issued the writ prayed for, the law upon tbe subject being mandatory. Section 641. When any civil suit or crimi nal prosecution is commenced iu any State court, for any cause whatsoever, against any person who is denied or cannot enforce in the judicial tribunals of the State, or in the part of the State where such suit or prose cution is pending, any right secured to him by any law providing for the equal civil rights of citizens of the United States, or of all persons within the jurisdiction of the Unitea States, * * such suit or prosecu tion may, upon the petition of such defend ant, filed in any State coart, at any time before the trial or final hearing of the cause, stating the facts ana verified by oath, be removed, for trial, into the next circuit court to be held iu the district where it is pend ing. Upon the filing of each petition al further proceedings in the State coarts shall cease, and shall not be resumed except as hereinafter provided. But all bail and other security given in such suit or prosecution shall continue iu like force and effect as if the same had proceeded to final judgment [Minutes October 15, 1823.] COMMODORE PORTER IN SAVANNAH . The Mayor stated to Council that the steam galliot Sea Gull, Commodore Porter, had arrived in the harbor of Savannah, and from the distinguished services of that offi cer he suggested to Conned the propriety of extending to him the hospitalities of the city, and paying him those honors so de servedly merited. On motion of Mr. Schley— Resolved, That the Mayor and three Al dermen be a committee to wait on Commo dore Porter and express to him the gratifi cation which this city feels on his safe return to his countty, and the desire is felt of ex tending to him ad the hospitality and civil ity which are dne from the citizens to a pa triotic and gallant officer. Further, that the said committee be authorized to invite Com modore Porter to a public dinner on the part of the citizens, and to make sncli ar rangements as may be necessary for snch a festival or other attentions or assistance that circumstances may render suitable. Resolvent, That said committee be author ized to request permission of Commodore Porter to present the crew of his vessel (on board) with such fruits and vegetables as can be procured in our markets, in consider ation of the hard and valaable services they have rendered their country. “One Jlore Unfortunate.” On Satnrday morning about six o’clock, Coroner Knorr was notified that a white woman had died under suspicions circum stances at the house of one Clara Lawrence, colored, in Yamacraw. He at once pro ceeded to the place, and summoning a jury, commenced an investigation of the facts. It was ascertained that the woman, who is known as Susan Williams, but whose right name is Susan Eddy, had expressed the intention of making away with herself in consequence of some trouble that that had oocurred between her and a male friend, a seafaring man who left this port on Friday. She had been in the habit of taking laudanum, and her associates paying little heed to her threats, were not alarmeu upon hearing that she had been drinking the drug. In the night, however, they were aroused by her groans, and discovering that her symptoms were unusually alarming 1m AflirrtiSfmfBts.

Renewed vigor is most speedily supplied through the medium of a tonic stimulant, and among medicinal resources of that class, Hostetler's Stomach Bitters assuredly de serve a pre-eminent place. Weakness, whether constitutional or arising from disease oj: over- fatigue, cannot be better compensated fbr than by a resort to this pri i.e strengthening cordial. The enfeebled invalid, the convalescent and tho aged and infirm find that it is an unfailing source of vigor and comfort. Its combined tonic and alterative properties also constitnte it an in valuable remedy for indigestion, weakness of the organs of urination, constipation, torpidity of the liyer, and many other irregularities apd disabili ties, and render it an invaluable protection against malaria, as \yell as'disorders of the '‘tomach and bowels. nov26-F;M,W‘&wlw Segars and Liquors, imported and domestic, always on hand at the Red Grocery, 22 Barnard street, nov4 prayer of the petition it may readily be seen that a rather momentous legal ques tion will arise. Supposing, now, that the case should bo taken to the United States Courts, George H. Thomas, the As sistant District Attorney, who figures as counsel for the defendant, would be in tbe role of prosecuting officer. It may be in ferred from this that the prosecution would not be vigorous. Altogether the phase which this case has assumed is most re markable. It is evident that the Radicals appreciate the importance of having such a vile and unscrupulous agitator as Tunis at jiberty, and count upon his well-known abil ity for creating disturbances and riots as of value to their narty in the coming elections. The writ of habeas corpus is granted return able at the next term of the United States Court in April next, aud as the action or de cision of the State authorities will be carried out by that time, the course of tho United States authorities will bo anticipated with interest.

W’ithin the last ten years the progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperative want.

The civil war of our own conntry, which was it ita height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE Have been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa.
