THE DAILY TIMES. FR|tIDAY, OCTOBER 8. Our Sentiments. The Eufaula spirit of the South, under the temporary control of a “triend” during the editor’s absence, has a short but well considered article in its last issue in relation to the Illinois contro versy, which we heartily endorse. The present editor, whom we believe to be our gifted friend, Wm. H. Chambers, Esq., evidently sees the Knal policy of the democratic party, making an issue as to the political orthodoxy ot Hon. S. A. Douglas of Illinois, who, alike with his competitor, Mr. Lincoln, is unworthy the consideration and lespect paid him. It is a question over which after the ex pression of an opinion we do not care to interfere and would deplore its being an apple of discord in our ranks. If Mr. Douglas stands upon the platform of the democracy laid down at Charles ton, it is then -we should settle the question as to his past fidelity to the parly and the extent to which we will trust him in the future. In discus sing the preference between Douglas and Lincoln, the Spirit says: “Lincoln we know is opposed to us, and we would watch him. Douglas claims to be a friend, and might deceive us. At any rate we have so little faith in him that we have never felt any anx iety about his election. It there was any way by which they could defeat each other, we should re joice at the result; as it is, wo regard the issue with indifference. We regret to see, however, that some ©four Southern contemporaries are growing warm upon the question. It is lamentably true that we seem anxious to find a pretext for differences among ourselves. Hard pressed indeed must we be for an issue, when Southern men allow themselves to be drawn into a content like this. We would rather see Douglas or Lincoln defeated a thousand times, than that our own people should quarrel for a mo ment about the election of either. Let our ene mies fight it out, and we shall have our hands full, no matter which one of them gets the better of the contest.” From the . nionSpiingsGazette. While we rejoice in the increased facilities af forded to this immediate section, for market and traveling purposes, by the Mobile & Girard Rail Road, we are by no means indifferent to the impe tus which it has given to Columbus our present market. The time was, when getting cotton to market was no inconsiderable item in the calcu lations of the planters in this vicinity. From five to seven days of hard pulling, ami sometimes se vere whipping, were consumed in transporting half a dozen bags of cotton to the Ware Houses in Montgomery, and two or three days hard riding, and wearisome exposure, were expended in mak ing the trip for business purposes. Now an equal amount of cotton, —even a bale or two more—may he taken from the Gin llous3 of the planter, and landed in Columbus in twelve hours, and the farm er refreshed by the jaunt, may return with the needful in his pocket. The smiling merchant meets him in the city with his blandest smiles, and tne whole city wears the aspect of activity, thrift and joy. And why should it not ? Only think, of the accession, 3,000 bales or more, a week, tumbled into the Ware Houses from the cars of the Mobile and Girard Rail Road ! Columbus can now see what she has gained by the construction of this road, and Montgomery is not blind to wha* she has lost by not embarking in an enterprise connecting that city with this cotton region Well, Columbus is entitled to whatever of thrift and importance she has gained by this new acces sion to her trade. But the idea of seeing a Rail Road constructed to Montgomery, is one which has long been cher ished by the planters of this section, and now when we come to witness the woiking of the road to Columbus, we cannot belitve that Montgomery will loug remain inactive. But our object in wiring ibis article was not to advocate a road to Montgomery, but to congratu late Columbus on the largo acquisition to her trade which she has and will derive through the rail road penetrating this productive region, and to which she has so liberally contributed. May golden streams flow into the coffers of her citi zens.” We reciprocate the congratulations of our co temporary upon the enjoyment of the facilities furnished by the Mobile and Girard Rail Road to the citizens of Union Springs and the adjacent country. We can remember the time when, with natural facilities for the transportation of produce and merchandize, superior to those ©pjoyed by our neighbors, we were yet condemned to the slow process of coach conveyance for mails and travel. We lietted and chafed under that system ofde'ay until the completion of the Muscogee Railroad brought us relief. We shall not soon forget the thrill of joy we felt when first we heard upon our eastern plain, the whistle of the locomo tive to which the conscious air replied with its thousand tongues, and saw the flaming locks of the flying giant, as he strode in ponderous gran deur over his iron pathway. We can, therefore, sympathise with the satisfaction expressed by the Gazette, at the fact that the beautiful village of } Union Springs and the surrounding country are realizing the advantages of a similar enterprize. But is our cotemporary quite sure that the people in that region are doing the whole of their duty in forwarding the good work ? Are they yet suffo cated with the smoko from the “iron horse,” and is not a criminal apathy justly chargeable to them ] We are informed that the present terminus of the Mobile and Girard Road is several mites this side of Union Springs. The company, under its ex isting, effective administration, is doing all in its power to reach that point; but it is natural and proper tor it to expect the co-operation and ma terial aid of thoca who are so greatly interested in the consummation. It would seem that we might trust to the honest hearts of the people to ac knowledge the promptings of this duty without excitation, did w’enot know that such appeals are postponed and overshadowed by considerations of immediate interest. But with this allowance, we do not see why the planters in that section, may not be induced to unite and finish the work when the pressure ot crop-gathering shall be removed. By reason ot the past unprecedented fine weather they are certainly far advanced in that operation, aud will be able, doubtless, to devote at least a tew weeks of the present year to the object we have indicated. Our cotemporary can do much towards enlisting interest in this behalf, and we hope he will stir the people up to energetic ac tion. State Department has not yet received information, officially, of the offer said to have been made by the Governors of the Socieiy Islands, to cede their Island to the United States. Who < ban beat ir ?—Six hands on the planta tion otCol. John Htzpatriek, of Twiggs,one day last week, pickod over twenty-four hundred lbs., of cotton.— Macon Telegraph, Correspondence of the N. O. Picayune. From Mexico- A communication, dated on the 7th iust. on board the British steamer Clyde, furn ishes particulars of interest, which are subjoined. The) are through Air. For syth’s special bearer of despatches: * A long passage in a special man-01-war, at this huricane and vomito season, ate; the chief objections to our Minister’s com-. ino- home on the Plymouth, which had not yet arrived, although due twenty days ago according to orders. Why not send the Niagara, to let all foreigners now in Vera Cruz, and also Mexicans, see that we too have steamers to boast of, aud are willing; to back our Minister’s course; endorsed a.- it is by the Government, and approved and applauded by all foreigners in Mexi co? Nothing could produce so appropos an effect as such a mark (just now) ot appreciation, and of intention to look to Mexico with earnestness of purpose. Zuloaga is lost, and the only hope of his party is in the return of Santa Anna; and this his own Generals (especially the chief Echeagaray,) positively ridicule, because it would be fatal to them. Robles was not permitted to land at V era Cruz from the British steamer Clyde on the 28th ult; was taken to Tampico, and just in time to be too late, for Carvajal would not listen to him there. He came back to Vera Cruz, and on the morning ot our managed to get aboard a Spanish vessel of war lying five miles off. People of sense think he might have been recalled by Zuloaga to take the reins on his abdication, Robles being popular. The success of the Liberals in all parts save the capital and its environs, and there they but wait an opportunity, is a subject of daily discussion in almost every city or town. Still inactivity may mar their hopes. The commander of Tampico, Gen Marin and several officers (poor men with ban daged heads) are aboard—for any port not in their own country. Great pecuniary trouble and much real distress,from deaths, hopelessness, mortifi cation and despair of peace are visibly ap parent. Juarez is honest, Zamora enthusiastic, Echeagaray foxy, wavering and silent; Ni grete as drill master, seems desirous to pre pare troops to whip the Liberals, whom he so lately most dastardly betrayed and de* SGrtcd • The hospitals are still pretty full. Out of 800 men [and a fine set of fellows, too,] who came in a short time since, only about 200 remain. The saddest effect the mind receives, after all, comes trom the dreadful vomito’s silent but fearful strength, marked ed in every vessel,at all the hospitals, and through the streets. Twenty five days in Vera Cruz thus impressed me. On the day of my departure, the sth in stant, a force was preparing to march on Jalapa, Echeagaray’s headquarters. I think he will come over to Zamora’s views. Nine successive stages were robbed, en route up, and all are, in fact, it any pios pects of a few dollars present. But few, therefore, either go or come. Everyone, interested ones excepted,ap proved Forsyth’s course, and hope better days from our strong arm. This sentiment 1 find is general—unanimous, but for a few expectants. I wish to correct a misstatement in one of your numbers sent. Mr. Coolidge, captured at Orizaba, was liberated at the immediate mediation of Mr. Forsyth, and no one else. Gardner the Englishman, it is true, used his influence, (and it is great at Orizaba, for he is very highly respected.) but without avail; and Coolidge was taken off with others to be shot at Ruelsta. Zuloaga, at Forsyth’s personal request or solicitation, procured his release unconditionally. Mr. C. afterwards waited on Zuloaga,with our Secretary of Legation, Walter Fern, and thanked that functionary. [From the Wakulla (Fla.) Times, Sopt.2‘2. Dr. Billings brought despatches from Air Forsyth to our government; he had also despatches from the leaders of the Liberal party to ,Comonfort. He represented the Liberal cause as rapidly gaining the ascen dency, and expressed the opinion that, ere this, a decisive battle had taken place be tween the two parties. Dr. Billings’ prin cipal object in coming to this country is to purchase Minnie Rifles for the Liberal ar my, for which purpose he was well sup plied with funds. The British Alinister in Mexico, acted in concert with Mr. Forsyth in resisting the payment by foreigners of the forced loan. The French Alinister had been recalled for advising his countrymen to comply. The Doctor says that the Americans are much thought of by the Liberal party, and occupy high stations of trust. That * Party generally favors an American protectorate, though opposed to annexation. They frequently contrast the security which they enjoyed of life and property during the war, when Gen. Scott, with the American army, held possession of the government, to the robberies arid murders daily committed by their own dif ferent chieftains, who may happen to have the ascendency.

The Facific Wagon Road. Sl. Louis, Oct. 2, 1858. Letters from the Pacific wagon expedi tion, dated Big Sandy, Oregon, September 7, say that Col. Lander was pushing the work with all possible despatch, with hopes of reaching Soda Springs before the bad weather sets in. Two hundred miles of road were finished, and an additional force is now at work beyond Salt river. The expedition will winter at Laramie. Col. Lander starts for Washington on the sth of October. The health of the expedition was good. Ttie W estern papers contain very ccn tiadictory accounts relative to the Sjuth P at’e gold diggings. Col. Sumner and Lieut. Col. Burks ar rived here last night. Price of Office. The familiar admonition of a distinguish ed American politician to his son, who lor the first time was a candidate for public preferment, embodies a common political experience. However unexceptionable may have been his previous deportment in all the relations of society, however unsullied his reputation for probity and uprightness in the various duties and avocations ol private life, notwithstanding he may have won golden opinions from all sorts ot men, while pursuing the sequestered paths ot unambitious retiracy, the moment he s.eps upon the public stage, the aspirant for pop ular favor finds himself exposed to the firece storm of detraction, calumny and abuse. Offences which he had never dreamed of are gravely charged to his ac count. Folies and indiscretions, the most trivial and harmless, are resurrected from their almost forgotten graves and paraded before the public eye with every embellish ment and aggravating accompaniment which malicious ingenuity can suggest.— Errors of opinion and misapprehensions of judgement, long ago recanted and corrected, are revived by the breath of slanderous imputation and brought forward as the damning proofs of present heresy. Then, the sinister insinuations of malignant envy which, “Willingto wound and yet afraid to strike,” Just liiots a taultand hesitates dislike;” i, the fabrications of mendacious lampooners— these are some of the legionary ills which dog the footsteps of the politician through his entire career. Calumny, says the [sa tirist, is the price a man must pay for being great ; but, in this country, all official per sonages, great and small, good ami bad, are made to feel its venomed sting.— Richmond South. Texas Items. We take the following from the news by the Texas, which arrived at New Orleans Thursday iast: The Austin State Gazette says the agony is over-the El Paso vote has come in. It is for Buckley 512; and that not being suf ficient. Bell, the independent candidate, is elected Associate Judge of the Supreme Court. In relation to the epidemic, the Galves ton Civilian, of the 27th says : Eight interments took place on Satur day, and eight on Sunday. We hear of but few cases, and those are ot a mild type. The Civilian, of the 28th, says: There were six interments yesterday, (Monday,) in Galveston, viz : Mr. Cole, Air Libert,Mr. Oppelt, Snyder, (child.) and an infant nine months old. The Houston Telegraph, says the Cen tral Railroad is now bringing in from 250 to 350 bales of cotton per day, and some days even more. The Indianola Courier of the 25th, says that all the towns, villages and points upon Alatagorda and adjoining bays yet remain in perfect health. From the Eufaula Spirit of the South. Our City. Our streets have presented the appear ance of a good deal of activity since the season opened. We need nothing but our railroad and bank, both of which we shall have before long, to make Eulaula one of the most thirving, stiring plaees, for its population, in the country. Our business men are already begining to feel the impulse which our brightening prospects have given to trade. Numerous improvements are going on, strangers are seeking investments in our midst, and everything wears the as pect of prosperity. No town in the South has superior advantages in the beauty of its location, the heathfulness of its climate, and the productiveness ofits surrounding coun try. These natural advantages, aided by the artificial facilities which it will soon enjoy, while they may never make Eufaula a very large city, will certainly ensure for it, continued prosperity, and a highly re spectable position among the interior towns of the South. In some particulars it may already boast. A better population can no where be found. Virtuous, moral, indus trious, unostentatious and social, they make a community in which it is pleasant for honest people of all classes to live ; and we venture, a more contented population can not be found in any village, town or city in the State. The Tallest Cotton Picking Yet. We published on Saturday a statement from one of our exchanges, that some tall cotton picking, had lately been done in Macon Cos., Alabama. Thirty-three of Air. John C. Judkin’s hand had averaged in one day’s picking 300 pounds. This is pretty good, but we would.inform our Alabama friends, that there is a coun ty in “North Carolina”—which can beat the above all hollow. We learn from a credible source that in Edgecombe county, (the Mississippi of the Old North State) week before last, thirty two of the hands of Air. Robert R. Bridge, of Edgecombe, in one day’s picking, made the extraordinary average of 503 pounds l We challenge the whole South to beat that. One hand picked 1067 pounds! another picked 870! The hand who picked 1067 pounds, picked 77 pounds in 55 minutes, when timed by a looker on. Our information comes from an entirely reliable source.— Norfolk (Va,) Argus. THE RIGHT TICKET. Politicians, we learn, will be greatly embar rassed this fall in the selection of proper tickets to support, a difficulty Irom which all are reliev ed,who deal with S. Swan &Cos. of Augusta, Ga- Ten, five or two and a halt dollars, mailed to them, will bring you promptly a whole, half or quarter ticket in their great lottery, which draws every Saturday, and as money is always wel come, should you, like others, be found with some twenty, fifty or seventy thousand dollarsy.you will be able to convince your friends that yot have selected the right ticket. Bloody Affray at Louisville, Ky. — The Louisville Courier, of the 24th ult., give* the particulars of a shooting affair at that locality. On Saturday afternoon an affray occurred in front of W in. Dijlers segar store, on Third rstreet, which resul ted in the death of R. L. Ward, at the hands of R. R. Lmdsay, both printers.— Lindsay was passing down Third street, and was accosted by Ward—Ward using very abusive epithets, calling him a ‘d—d rat,” and finally striking him in the face.— Lindsay immediately drew a pistol and fired, the ball entering the left breast. Ward waked a few steps, entered the Democrat office, and died in less than half an hour.. Telegraphic. REPORTED FOR THE COLUMBUS TIMES. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL or THE STEAMSHIP CANADA. Halifax, Oct. 7.— The Steamship Canada has anived with Liverpool dates to the 25th Sept., being three days later than those brought by the Nova Scotian.

Samples of some grown have been favorably classed by the English Judges, and the Manchester Cotton Sup ply Association are distributing a considerable quantity of seed throughout Central America. Commercial Failures—lmprovement in Trade. The effects of the financial revulsion of last year, so far at least as they are indica ted by commercial failures in this city, seem to be yielding to the improved condition of trade which lias been apparent for some time past. r I he first crash of the revulsion came on the 24th of August, 1857, with the failure ot the Ohio Life and Trust Company ; and from that date to the Ist of October fol lowing, the commercial failures in this city amounted to one hundred and twenty six. For the same period this year the failures number only twelve, and irom the Ist of April to the present date only fifty two, and many of these are doubtless houses which have been dragging along since the crisis of last fall. The scarcity of lailures this year, however, cannot be attributed so much to an improved trade as to the fact that most of the large houses iti the city which were destined to break—have smashed up long ago, and it was only the small fry that remained to be finished off this year. Busi” ness, it must be taken into account that there is not more than half the trade doing now that there was at this time in 1857 although it is rapidly reviving—and what trade is being done is conducted with more caution ; cash, and not tuinously long credit is, to a greater extent than ever before, the medium of trade. Business men have had a wholesome lesson, which will probably last them for the next five years, when, according to previous experience, we may expect a return of the old system of reck lessness and expansion—the certain pre cursors of another financial crisis in ten or twenty years to come. While this is true of the state of affairs in the city of New York, other Atlantic cities show a similar record. The failures from April Ist, 1858, to October Ist, were : In Boston, 8; in Philadelphia, 18, and in Baltimore, 34. The total number of commercial failures throughout the Union lor the same period, was nine hundred and ninety-six—a great decrease from last year. The aggregate amount of the above failures is probably less than half what it was in 1857. These facts we learn from the well organized commercial agency of McKillop & Wood, Beekman street; and they are very inter esting as indications of the current of busi ness throughout the country. —New York Herald. Naval Intelligence.

Sept. 9—w&d6m # ; HAIR RESTORATIVE. Many kinds of Tonic are advertised that we are assured will strengthen the hair and prevent its falling out, but none that we have seen used does all that it promises, save that of Professor O J Wood’s. Thi9 we know is good from hav iug tried it, and witnessed in several cases its truly beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind enough to send us a couple of bottles, and alter finding that it prevented our hair from falling out, we presented a bottle to a friend who had been bald lor at least thirty years; it has restored his hair entirely, and it is now as thick and glossy as when he was twenty five. This we say in all sincerity and we shall be glad to have our friends try it for themselves, as we believe it is just what it profess es to be For real worth, Wood’s Hair Restora tive is undoubtedly the best preparation now in use for restoring hair on bald heads, changing gray hair on bald U ads, changing gray hairs to their original color, and for acosmet cor cure for pim ples, it is fast taking the place of other prepara tions. No toilet now-a days is complete with out it. If any one should ask us what in our opinion, arrived at by an impartial test, wa9 tho best and most honest compound remedy tor preserving and beautifying the hair, and restoring gray hairs to its original color, and the locks to the bald headed we should, without hesitation say, Professor O. J. Wood’s Hair Restorative. See advertisement in another column. —Louisville Journal.

Mr. Silas Lipscomb of Birmingham says: “I have found in Boerhave’s Holland Bitters a remedy for Headache and Debility. My wife has also used it with the greatest benefit.” Mr. A. S. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also re marks that he has experienced much relief from its use for headache. Take a half a teaspoonful three times a day an hour before meals. Eat moderately, aud then of wholesome food, and you will find this really a remedy for Sick and Nervous Headache,Weak ness of any kind, Costiveness and Piles.
