Large Banner.—We were permitted, yester
day, a view of a stupendous banner now in course
of manufacture at the paint-shop of Mr. John G.
Coffin, on Jackson st. It will be one of the
neatest banners made during the present political
excitement. The mottoes upon it are—“ Georgia,
the Empire State of the South, resumes her sove
reignty.” Across one end is “No Submission”—
across the other “Southern Rights.” The centre
has a cotton plant, (a most appropriate emblem,)
with a rattle-snake coiling around the base. The
banner contains 36 yards os cotton, and its dimen
sions are 20 by 13 feet. It will be suspended
across Broad street, in a few days, from the Globe
Hotel to A. Poullain’s stare.

Prof. Smith’s Lectures and Experiments at Ma
sonic Hall have given periect satisfaction to bis
intelligent audiences. The Lecture on Love and
Matrimony especially, was listened to with the
most profound attention. It was both entertain
ing and instructive; and his magnetic experi
ments at the close kept the large audience in a
roar ot laughter. The Professor lias concluded to
remain and give two more entertainments, Mon
day and Tuesday nights. If any desire to be in
structed, or to have some real heurty laughs, let
them attend, by all means.
A Post-office hes just been established at Bran
don, in Gwinnett county, and Isaac Strickland Jr.,
appointed postmaster.
The official vote of Missouri has been announced.
It stands as follows: For Douglas 58,801; Bell

Military. —Our streets were enli veiled yester
day alternoon by tlie fine drilling of the Clinch
Rifles, Capt. C. A. Platt, and the Richmond Hus
sars, Cajit. T. P. Stovall. We should also men
tion that the Irish Volunteers, Lieut. Barrett,
paraded on Friday. All these companies display
superior military tactics and discipline.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun, from
Washington, dated the 4th inst., speaking of the
Forts near Charleston, says : “The Secretary of
War has declared that he intends to deliver over
all the Forts intact to his successor.”
A Private Battery.—During a debate in the
South Carolina Legislature, Tuesday last, on es
tablishing an Ordnance Bureau, Mr. Rhett said he
hud had for several years, in Charleston, eight of
the largest sized Paixhan guns, which may be
used in taking the forts at Charleston.
Agricultural Resources of Georgia.—Or.
Meredith Reese, A. M., M. 1)., L. L. D., of New
‘'—York, in the American Medical Gazette of Decem
ber, IS6O, thus notices the Report of Prof. Joseph
Jones, of Augusta, Ga., to the Southern Cotton
Planters’ Convention of Georgia:
Prof. Joseph Jones, M. I)., of the Medical Col
lege of Georgia, having been appointed Chemist I
to the Cotton Planters’ Convention of the State,
has published his first report, in a huge octavo
pamphlet of 312 pages. It exhibits the agricul
tural resources of that State to be immense and
inexhaustible, and proves how little lias been
done to develop them by the sparse population of
that extensive State, in which millions of acres of
live finest land, rich to repletion, with every na
tive material for agricultural improvement, are
lying uncultivated, not only going to waste, but
rapidly deteriorating for lack of industrious labo
rers. The luxuriant crops yielded to the past
generation by the spontaneous richness of the
soil, and this with but little labor or cultivation,
have exhausted its productiveness, and the inha
bitants by tons of thousands have nfigrated to
other parts of the State and to other States in
quest of more productive lands.
The agricultural survey, now commenced by
Prof. Jones, as the appointee of a Convention
of Cotton Planters, if fostered by the State and
carried out to completion, cannot fail to work a
mighty revolution in the political and commercial
stat us of that great State, for Georgia has a terri
tory 322 miles in length from North to South, and
224 miles in breadth Irom East to West, having
thus au area of 58,000 square miles, while her
whole population scarcely exceeds that of the
single city of New York, including half a million
of the colored race, either bond or free, and in
cludes almost every variety of climate, extending,
as it does, from the almost tropical regions upon
the Atlantic coast to the cool and bracing atmos
phere of the Blue Ridge, thus covering the finest
climate of any State in the Union. Surely the
time cannot be distant when agriculturists will
rally to develop the resources of so desirable a
country, and rescue its worn-out soil from the
sterility to which the richest lands of earth are
destined when exhausted by their own produc
tiveness and abandoned without labor to the ele
ments, annually degenerating by neglect.

The I’oor ! The Poor !
How true the words of the Saviour of the
world, “ The poor ye have always with you.”
My object in writing this article is to call the at
tention of our benevolent citizens to the distress
ed condition of the poor in our midst. My call
ing brings me in constant contact with this class;
and I speak from a personal knowledge of facts,
when I say tliat the distress among the poor in
our midst has not been so great as it is as pres
ent. Tbe reasons for this statu of things must be
evident to every observing mind. A large num
ber of the laboring class have been turned out of
employment. The present financial condition of
the country has compelled some of our largest
contractors to dismiss quite a number of hands.
The least efficient ones, are, as a matter of course,
dismissed first ; this necessarily leaves the most
destitute without the means of support. The
weather has been cold, and has added greatly
to the distress. Ido not go beyond the facts in
the case when 1 say that there are many families
in Augusta who are almost destitute of the things
necessary to sustain lite.
I might, if space permitted, give some facts, in
support of the statement, that would move the
hardest hearts to pity, and the most penurious
to benevolence. Now, cannot something}* done
to relieve these sufferers f 1 es, emphatically ves !
can, something must be done. I know
the good citizens of Augusta will respond nobly,
when assured that their donations can be so dis
tributed as, in great part, to relieve the distress
01 InVfewdafsl’a'plan whereby, it is thought this
may be effected, will be laid before the public,
in the meantime the poor are stiffermg ; any
donations left with Messrs. W. C. Deny, James
W Bones or D. B. Plumb, will be promptly and
properly applied tor their relic . £****
Severe on Beecher.— Rev. H- M . Baechcr, of
the Independant, in indulging in u philanthropic
howl at the Irish emigrants in this co . u jV/\-
dulged in a corpse fling at ot the e
Yoidc Freeman’s Journal. Mr. McMaster thus
replies- “It is news that American freedom, as
distinguished from European, means 1
negroes with the white man. Let us,.however,
remark to the writer in the Independant, that he
must be a very late importation from Down
East ’ or \e would have been aware that our

Rumors and Reports.— Rumors are current that
Gov. Letcher, of Va., has appointed a joint com
mission, consisting of Messrs. Ex-1 resident ly _.
Senator Hunter, and Hon. Wm. C. Rives to i.
South Carolina at once, and urge delaj in liei

t” some counties, where the feeling is much divided, two nom
inations have been made. Those designated by a star (*) are
the “imnieiiiate|sec€Baion” candidates. The others stand upon
the ground of a firm and unyie’ding resistance—a demand of
the repeal of all unconstitutional and obnoxious laws—a deter
mined effort to preserve our rights, honor and interests fa the
Union, and an effort at co-operation among all the Southern
States.
Mississippi. —The Mississippi Legislature ad
journed on the 30th ult. It passed unanimously
the Convention Bill ; also, resolutions in favor of
secession, and authorizing the Governor to appoint
Commissioners to co-operate with the slavehold
ing States.
A stay law and non-importation Act w. s defeat
ed. The elections for the Convention are to be
held on the 30th, aud the meeting of the Conven
tion takes place on the 7th of January.
The Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar made a great seces
sion speech, advocating separate State action and
the simultaneous adoption by the State of a Fed
eral Constitution ; he favored the formation of a
Congress of the present Delegates from the Gulf
State sand the appointments ot Electors of a Presi
dent for the Southern Confederacy.
Emigration Westward.— The Troy (Tenn.) Ad
vertiser of the Ist says : “From a private letter
received from a friend at Mitchell’s Point, one of
the crossings on the Mississippi river, we learn
that the emigration form this State lo Missouri aud
Arkansas, the past six months has been very
great, especially do we think so, when wo make
an estimate of the many that have passed through
this place enroute for the aforesaid country. To
say that three hundred wagons, loaded with emi
grants, have passsd through this place on their
way rejoicing, in the last live months, would not
be too great an estimate. Our friehd lias kept an
accurate record of all the crossing at his Ferry
since January, last up to the present time which
loots up as follows : Wagons, 13s ; Horses, 285 ;
Cattle and Hogs, 340 ; Buggies, 23. lie also re
marks that the number of persons, big, little, old
and young, male and female, swell to the enor
mous amount of 1,654, an average of over ten per
sons to a wagon. Two wagons had seven fami
lies, and the number of persons along were thirty
five.”
Difficulty on Board the Mail Boat. —We un
derstand that a difficulty occurred on board the
Mail steamer from Acquia Creek, yesterday after
noon, which came near leading to a serious result.
It appears that a man from Connecticut, who has
been traveling through a portion of the South,
made some remarks at various times derogatory
ot South Carolina and her citizens. These re
in arks were heard by a Virginian, a resident of
South Carolina, who resented them, calling the
man from Connecticut a d—u liar and a scoun
drel, and challenging him to mortal combat in the
forward part bf the steamer, and offering t,o fur
nish him either a pistol or bowie-knife as a weap
on. This occurred at the dining table and caused
great excitement and consternation. The Con
necticut man declined the challenge, when (he
captain ot the steamer and many of tha passen
gers interfered, and any further difficulty was
prevented. The man from Connecticut was, how
ever, advised not to obtrude his obnoxious views
in the presence of Southerners, unless he was
prepared to meet the consequences.— Alex. ( la.)
Gazette.
Murder in Sparta, Tenn. —We learn from the
Sparta Constitutionalist, that Win. Morgan was
killed in an affray in that town Saturday week,
by Win. M. Green. The affray occurred at the
bouse of Morgan, who received seventeen wounds
from a knife in the hands of Green. The latter
was tried before Judge Gardenhire and was pro
nounced guilty of murder in the first degree and
sent to jail. \V. P. Green Jas. 11. Bryan and C.
Davis were also tried as accessories to the murder.
The first named was held to bail in a bond of $5,-
<>oo ; Bryan and Davis were bound over to answer
the charge of assault and battery.
A copy of “Cotton is King” havingbeen present
ed to Robert Chambers, the distinguished Edin
burgh publisher and author, while on his recent
visit here, lie expressed a very complimentary
opinion of the book, in a letter, from which we are
permitted to make the following extract: “fiotton
is King” appears to me a conclusive demonstra
tion on the question, as far, as it goesj’aud the abil
ity of the mritingjmight well give it wings over the
world.— i\jtcinnati Gazette.
A \\ IKK,S CoNKIDBNCe IN HER HUSBAND’S Blt AVER Y
Gen. Pimodan, killed at the battle of Castcltidardo,
bas been honored with funeral services in all the
Churches of Rome. The Duchess of Fitz Janies
consented to convey to his widow the intelligence
of his death. Slu found her at 7 o’clock in the
morning writing. “To whom do you write ?” asked
the Duchess. “To my husband,” said madame
Pimodan. “Alas !”replied the Duchess, “write
no more, lie is a prisoner.” Madame Pimodan
gazed steadfastly at her friend. “Y r ou are trying
to deceive me,” she cried,” my husband is not’ a
prisoner ; he is dead ; they never could make a pris
oner of him!'’ Then she immediately hastened to
Church to pray.
Checking Perspiration. —A Boston merchant in
“lending a hand” on board of one of his ships on
a windy day, found himself, at the end of an hour
and a half, pretty well exhausted and perspiring
freely. He sat down to rest. The cool wind from
the sea was delightful, and, engaging in conversa
tion, time passed fasten- than he was aware of. In
attempting to rise lie found lie was unable to do so
without assistance. He tvas taken home and put
to bed, where he remained two years; and for a
long time afterward could only hobble about with
the aid of a crutch. Less exposure, than this lias,
in constitutions not so vigorous, rosuited in infiam
mation of the lungs, “pneumonia,” ending in death
in less than a week, or causing tedious rheuma
tism, to he a source of torture for a lifetime. Mul
titudes of lives would be saved every year, and an
incalculable amount of human suffering would he
prevented, if parents would begin to explain to
Iheir children at the age of three or four yeaTs, the
danger which attends cooling ofi'too quickly after
exercise, and the importance of not standing st ill
after exercise, or work or play, or of remaining ex
posed to a wind, or of sitting at an open window
or door, or of pulling off any garment, even the
hat or bonnet, while in a heat. It should be re
membered by all, that a cold never comes without
a cause, and that in four times out of five it is the
result of leaving off exercise too suddenly, or of re
maining still in the wind, or in a cooler atmos
phere than that in which the exercise has been
taken.
The colder the weather the more need is there,
in coming into the house, to keep on all the clo
thing except Indian rubber or damp shoes, for sev
eral minutes. Very few rooms are heated higher
than 65 degrees when the thermometer is within
20 degrees of zero, while the temperature of the
body is always at 98 in health, so that if a man
comes in a room which is thirty degrees cold
er than his body, he will rapidly cool off, too much
so, often even if the external clothing is not re
moved.
It is not necessary that the perspiration be visi
ble; any exercise which excites the circulation be
yond what is natural, causes a proportional, in
crease of perspiration, ibe sudden checking of
which induces dangerous diseases and certain
death every day.
Hogs. —We notice that during the past few days
a considerable number of hogs have passed
through to the South. About 8,000 have already
been shipped. We hear of no sales at this point.
The prices asked, 7 and 8 cents net, is altogether
too high for speculation or safe investment.—
Chattanooga Adv., 7th.
A Live Vankf.e. —Edmund About, in his new
book, the “King of the Mountain,” gives the fol
lowing account of John Harris, an American ad
venturer in Greece:
“The first time I saw this strange fellow I com
prehended America. John was born at Vandalia,
Illinois. He inhaled at his birth that air of the
New World, so vivacious, so sparkling, and so
brisk, that it goes to the head like chanipagus wine
and one gets intoxicated in breathing it. I know
not whether the Harris family are rich or poor ;
whether thev sent their sou to college, or left him
to get his own education. It is certain that at
twenty-seven years lie depends on’y on himself
is astonished at nothing, tuinks nothing impossi
ble, never flinches, believes all things, hopes all
things, tries all things, triumphs iuall things, and
rises up again if lie falls, never stops, never loses
courage, and goes right ahead whistling his tune.
He has been a farmer, a schoolmaster, a lawyer,
a journalist, a gold hunter, a manufacturer, a
merchant; lie has read everything, seen every
thing, practiced everything, and traveled over
more than half the globe. When I made his ac
quaintance he was commanding a steam yacht in
the Ririerus, with sixty men aud four guns; be was
discussing the Oriental question in the North Amer
ican Review*, lie was doing business with an in
digo house in Calcutta, and he found leisure to
come two or three times a week to dine with
me.”

OBITUARY.
Died in Augusta, Ga., on the morning of the 3d, Mrs. ELIZA
ANN OAKMA N, aged 60 years. Sweetly she fell asleep in
Jesus, with the full assurahee of the bliss site would inherit in
the new Jerusalem above. “All is peace,all is peace” were her
dying words. She longed to be with the Saviour who made
her dying bed “feel soft as downy pillows are.” She felt her
Redeemer very near, when she repeated the comforting words
of the Psalmist.—“ Yea, though I w alk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me ; tin
rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Before dying she called all
her children and faithful house servants around tier, and be
sought them to try to meet her in heaven. It was truly affect
ing to witness the fervour with which two of the old servants
prayed for her restoration, as they knelt with uplifted hands lie
side her dying heci “None knew her hut to love her—none
named her but to praise"—so gentle, so kind and forgiving in her
disposition, and so charitable to the poor. Her warm and affec
tionate nature drew you almost irresistibly towards her, She
lived the life of a true Christian and devoted wife and mother.—
A large circle of friends deeply sympathize with her bereaved
children.
“So fades a summer cloud away—
So sinks the gale when storms are o’er—
So gently shuts the eye of day—
So dies a wave along the shore.”

SOIL-LIFTING PLOW!
A\THEN a surface Plow is run at a depth of twelve inches,
11 and a two-horse Soil-Lifting Plow follows, which is ca
pableof disintegrating to a depth of fifteen inches more, there
is a total disintegrated depth of twenty-seven inches, and those
who so practice will find that they have another farm beneath
that represented on their map. A smaller size of this Plow,
(one horse) thinner in the sole and more dart-like in its figure,
is an admirable implement for cultivating crops, and will do
the work of more than forty men with hoes. With the corn
croji, this tool may run close alongside the corn, anil to the full
depth of twelve inches when the corn is but three inches hlrh,
and before the roots occupy the space between tbe rows ; this
will lift the soil, move every corn plant with tlio soil, and for so
slight a distance as not to separate the particles from the roots,
yet so completely loosening the mass that the plant mav be
picked up with the fingers. This is more thorough cultivation
than can be obtained by one hundred hoeinga, leaving the soil
in better tilth and cutting of no roots. More than t wenty
thousand of these Plows were sold last year.

ri’lHE undersigned. Agent for the above Fertiliser In coti-e-
A qnence of its marked success the past season, and t lie gi id
ly increased demand arising therefrom, has made arruitgemc) Is
with the manufacturer for a large and full supply; and . in
quiring greater facilities for storage and other accommodation
lias taken the four story Warehouse as below, where lie will li
able to supply any quantity required, with promptness, lie
may be allowed to express his satisfaction in view of the hut
that of the numerous purchases made of him by planters, gene
rally tor the purpose of making comparative tests with other
fertilisers, not one case lias come to his knowledge where our
Fertiliser hari not shown a decided superiority. Planters who
hare used Mapes’ Phosphate, now make it their sole reliance,
and are ordering (some of them) as much as fifty tons, for mo
the next season. This fact speaks for itself. \\ v e have discov
ered a qual.ty, developed in the drouth, which was before unol
served, viz ; its hygrometric power, or capacity, to absorb
moisture from the atmosphere, which obviated to a largo extent
the late unparalleled drought where it was used, while most
oilier fertilisers were not only valueless, but positively injurious
to the plant. The safety and profit as a money investmert,
arising from the use of Mapea’ Phosphate, are now placed be
yond question, and the experience of the past season, has estab
lished what we have, w ithout hesitation, always asserted for it,
that is the only fertiliser reliable under all circumstances of
soil, mode of cultivation, and of weather.
The undersigned is also prepared to supply any description of
