| A Word to Macon and Savannah Mer
chants-
Stephen Girard, who died one of the wealthiest
men of the country, having commenced Ida with
a penny, gave his last testimony in favor of ad
vertising. It was a secret spring to his success,
which be published for the benefit of those, who
placed any value upon his own cxperience.-
VVithout disparaging the claims of our cotempo--
rariesin Macon and Savannali to a large share o
patronage from their merchants they deserve t
be patronized liberally and should be ""T®
Bay to the business men ol these places i
cast their eye over the map of the State, t ey wi
perceive that the Timet has access to a large
section oi the country, whose people trade exc u
lively in Macon & Savannah. Ihe Counties ly
ing on aod adjacent to the South-western Ka.l;
road-Macon, Sumter, Dooly, Worth, Pulaski,
Calhoun, Baker, Lee and others-are in the 2nd
Congressional District, where the Times-we do
not say it boastfully—has perhaps a wider circula
tion than auy other newspaper. Besides this (2d)
District, the books show that ihe ‘limes has no
mean circulation in Houston and Crawlord and
other counties in the 3d District. Then if our
premiss be true, that a merchant can loose nothing
by keeping his card or aii advertisement ol fine
goods before the people, it would be of some ad
vantage to our Macon and Savannah friends to re
member the Times as an advertising medium. In
this connection, we would refer our readei9 to
the card of Messrs. J. B. W. A. Ross of Macon
—business men who advertise liberally—who have
made a fortune by their honesty and industry, and
who have a superior assortment of goods and
merchandise.
Coweta County upon the Supreme
Court.
The public meeting in Coweta County which
was adjourned over from the Bth September to
the sth inst., passed a preamble and resolutions
declaring that the Supreme Court, having tailed
in the object lor which it was created, should be
abcli-hed, and instructed their representation in
the legislature to vote lor its abolishment. How
many persons were present who knew what they
were doing, is not known. That the meeting was
composed o'a majority of such, however, is ap
parent from its action. We do not want farther
proof than is heie furnished of the necessity ol adop
ting some educational system which shall diffuse
intelligence among the people.
Marlby Villa-
This is the tide of a novel which ha? just b?en
placed upon our table by Ihe publisher. We have
read the first chapter and acknowledge satisfaction.
Our readers will, doubtless, make the same ac
knowledgement with even a shorter introduc
tion. Take the first paragraph :
“It was night—dark sable night! No gentle
moon lent a feeble light to gu'de the footsteps of
the wanderer, save the vivid flashes of forked
lightning, (rather anew phase of the moon) that
ever and anon played on the smooth, sandy road.
The morning winds seemed chanting the requiem
of a lost spirit, as it (referring, doubtless, to the
spirit) rattled through the long oaken boards of a
ruined cottage,mingling at intervals with the song
of water as it murmured by, whilst the lightning’s
wing struggled through the zigzag crevices ; then
big round drops patiored on the roof, as with the
soothing step of childhood (pretty—very.) On a
rude couch lay the mother of Isadnre, she raised
her large,glassy eyes, as if in expectation.”
We think she ought to have slept.
Homicide-
On Sunday evening last, at the Double bridges
on Flint River, Denham killed James Brown by
shooting him with a rifle. It is reported Brown

The Atrocity of the Coolie Trade.
The New York correspondent of the Charles
ton News, is reliably informed that “many of the
clippers despatched to San Francisco accept en
gagements, previous to their departure, to carry
Coolies from China to Cuba at S7O per head,
which is the best paying freight offering at present,
provided the mortality oi the living freight is not
too great, as is sometimes the case. The cupidity
of a great many captains is such that they do not
scruple to take on board a far greater number of
Coolies than discretion and prudence would war
rant. The consequence is that the wretched Asi
atics are exposed to an aggregation of horrors ex
ceeding those of the “Middle Passage.” They
are packed together like swine lor the market, in
au ill-ventilated hold, under the burning sun of
the tropics, without ventilation and with insuffi
cient food. Of course such treatment is followed
by its legitimate results, and a frightful mortality
afterwards sweeps off a large per centage of the
human cargo, in which event the shipowner is, of
course, a loser. This is certainly a brutal traffic, to
employ the mildest adjecrive, and it is suprising
that our shipowners should countenance it by
chartering their vessels to those engaged in the
business. Why even the African slave trade, in
its present condition, carried on clandestinely, and
in violation of law with every inducement to those
engaged in the traffic to counterbalance the dan**
ger of discovery by the immensity of the profits, is
less frightful and demoralizing than this Coolie Ap
prentice system. Those philanthropic souls among
us, who are perpetually denouncing slavery, might
very profitably as well as appropriately direct a
portion of their zeal to the subject of Coolie Ap
prenticeship.”

An article recently appeared in the Spirit of
the South (Eufauia) entitled “Mr- Pryor’s reply
to Mr Yancey’s letter”-an extract from which
j 3 copied elsewhere in this paper-wh.ch chimed
eo well with the feelings of the people as to call
forth many complimentary rema.ks from the press.
The article is from the pen of Alpheus Baker, Jr.,
who was occupying Mr. Bullock’s chair during
his abience. It is written in fi e spirit and speaks
so well the voice of the people in the recent con
troversy between Mr. Yancey and Mr. Pryor, that
we regret we cannot give it in full to our readers.
Suffice it to say, it is an eloquent article and
holds up well to view the present position ol the
Richmond. South which, in its effort to cripple
Mr. Yancey, has invaded the sacred territoiyof
Southern rights, which in former times it was the
acknowledged guardian and champion. We
thank Mr. Baker lor tha production.
Minister to Spain.—lt is announced in some
of the papers that Wm. Preston, ot Louisville, is
to go to Spain as the successor of Mr. Dodge.—
Mr. Preston ranks amongst the first men in Ken
tucky for talents and lofty and lofty bearing as a
politician. lie was an Did Line Whig, but has
co-operated zealously and efficiently with the
democratic party for several years pa9t. He is
believed to bo well qualifi .and for the important
post to which it is said he has been appointed.

British Negotiations with Nicaragua.—The
New York Courier learns that there have been
no negotiations between Sir Wm. Gore Ousley
and any authorized representatives of Nicaragua
relative to the transit route. The draf tof a trea
ty, said to have been agreed upon between the
British special envoy and Mr. Molina and Gen.
Jerez, is simply the Cass-Yrissarri treaty altered in
its phraseology so as to conform to the change of
parties. Our information leads us to believe that
the British minister has forwarded this treaty to
his own government as one which it would be de
sirable tor Great Britain to conclude, and that it
has been returned to him approved, with directions
to proceed to Nicaragua and negotiate directly
w iih that government upon the basis of the provis
ions of the treaty referred to.
83^Late Washington advices state that it is
seriously apprehended by the Government that
the running f the boundary line between Texas
and the Indian Territory will lead to hostilities.
These Indians have no that they are hem
med in on the West, and they will resist any at
tempt to draw a line in their rear. It is believed
that the Federal Government will have to pur
chase another slice of Texas territory for Indian
purposes.
Another Editor Gone.—Mr. Edward Gabain,
editor of the German Gazette, New Orleans, has
fallen a victim to the prevailing epidemic in that

Free Trade.
The New York Post is exulting over the
conver ion to free trade doctrines of Jo
j seph Napier, the present Lord Chancellor
lof Ireland, and Major William Beresford,
i Secretary at War under the last adminis
tration of Lord Derby, and says “it is dif
ficult to convey an adequate idea of the
enormous change ol sentiment which the
conversion of two such men typifies, not so
much by reason of their own weight as
because they stand at the very extremity of
two sections of their own party.” The
Post concludes its article as follows:
“Henceforward we may feel satisfied
there will, inEngland.be as little necessity
for discussing the value of free trade as
the nature ol the earth’s motion; but un
fortunately, there still remains much to be
done in the United States. We have quite
as incorrigible cases to deal with as either
Napier’s or Beresford’s, but ,we do not de
spair of a result as satisfactory as has been
attained in theirs.”
When Queen Victoria went through the
ceremony of opening the Leeds town Hall,
and afterwards rode through the streets in
procession, she wore a rich silk dress of a
delicate tint of lavender, with flounces of
pale chine flowers on a white ground ; also
a mantle of white silk, richly embroidered
and trimmed with lace. The bonnet was
white, trimmed with white flowers and
green leaves, and a white veil. She wore
maiz-colored kid gloves, and carried a fan.
The young princesses wore silk dresses
with a green chine pattern on a white
ground, with stone colored silk jackets, and
straw bonnets trimmed with green and
white tulle veils, says the Leeds Mercury.
A Spanish steamer lately succeeded in
landing 900-elaves at one of the out-ports of
Cuba, and to avoid detection, set the steam
er adrift, as a prize to whoever might pick
her up. As the slavers probably realized
upwards of $300,000 by the adventure, they
could well afford to sacrifice a vessel worth
nearly 20,000.
Fatal Accident. j
We are informed that Mr. Reuben Boyd

clamps had been secured suddenly gave
way and one of those weighty timbers fell
upon the head of Mr. Boyd,

First District School in New Orleans, (free

we find the following paragraph :
“Mr. Solomon informed the Board that
he had given permission to the friends of
the two sons of the late S. S. Prentiss, (now
living with their grandmother on the other
side of the river,) to enter them in one of
the First District Schools during the coming
session, and asked the Board to confirm
that permission. It was confirmed unani
mously.” _

The Godolphin in Harness.
Bullock, of the Eufauia Spirit of the
South, one of3the most brilliant and forci
ble political writers in the South, draws the
following picture, in his recent editorial on
Mr, Pryor’s attack on Arr. A ancey. It is
very fine indeed.
Says Bullock, speaking of Pryor’s past
and present:
“When last year, upon the fall circuits of
our courts, Southern Rights men who had
been “fired” by his daring spirit, “instruc
ted'’ by bis lucid expositions, “encouraged”
by the light and hope which in every issue
of his incomparable paper he sent Hashing
through the land, went round among the
good people of Pike, Coffee, Dale. Henry
anil Barbour, and besought them, by sub
scribing to “The South” to signify, in some
small degree, their gratitude to a distant
but heroic, ally, and to carry home to their
firesides and to their boys the very text
book of sound politics and’ Southern Rights
—how little did we imagine that that pa
per would so soon be the vehicle of attacks
upon our party and its faithful leaders, and
we should be called upon to feel so soon
the poisoned arrows of the flying Parthian
in his swift desertion to the ranks of Na
tionality ! Wilh the confidence of Peter
scouting the possibility of a denial of his
master, he boasted in 1857, when threatened
with tiie epithet of “disorganizer,” that “he
was proof against the spell of the politi
cian’s necromancy.” But, alas! too self
reliant man, how sadly has he miscalcula
ted the strength of his resolution and the
policy of that spell, and now what a mor
tifying spectacle are we called upon to
witness ! The tameless courser of the des
ert, already haltered by the lariat of party,
its well adjos.ud collar secured on that
proud neck once “clothed with thunder,
its strong rein tightened over those match
less limbs that once we thought would nev
er own a master, and the Godolphin Ara
bian of “Tiie South,” all necromancy proof
as he supposed himself to be, nicked, dock
ed, cruppered and broke into the harness
with a facility that throws the exploits ot
Air. Horse-taming Rarev in the shade,
pulling admirably side by side with the
dull Conestogas of “The Confederation,”
for instance, and every other well-broke
hack ofNational Democracy in the land.’
Prize Money and the “Echo.”
The statements with which we have
hitherto met in reference to the disposition
of Hie slaver “Echo,” and the amount of
prize money according to those who were
directly instrumental in her capture, appear
to be founded upon an entire misappre
hension of the case. Deriving our infor
mation from the most authentic source, we
may, perhaps, be able to state the real
course which will betaken in the matter:
The United States Marshal for South
Carolina gave Lieutenant Alaffit a receipt
for 306 Africans, for which number $25
per head, amounting in all to $7,600, will
be awarded as prize-money to the flag offi
cer of the home squadron and the officers
and crew of the Dolphin. This sum will
be distributed as follows: the flag officer
receives one-twentieth, the commanding
officer of the Dolphin two-twentieths, and
the balance is distributed to the other offi
cers and the crew of the Dolphin, accord
ing to rank and rate. It is doubted, how
ever, whether the flag officer (Commodore
Mclntosh) is entitled to one-twentieth, as he
was absent, on leave, from his station, at
the time of the capture. This question will
doubtless be determined by the Attorney
General.
After the prescribed legal forms have
been gone through witlSfjand the “Echo” lias
been libeled, she will be sold at public auc
tion. Half of the proceeds will be taken
by the Government, according to a special
provision of law, and devoted to the naval
pension fund. The other half will be divi
ded among the officers and crew of the
Dolphin, according to the same rule by
which the per capita prize money is
tributed. Eighteen of the Africans died
after their capture by Lieut. Alaffit. For
these the per capita of $25 will not be paid,
but only those who were delivered alive in
to the hands of the United States Marshal.

Morphy and llarrwitts at Chess. —A
Paris correspondent thus speaks of the
great chess contest between the American
and Prussian champion:
The great chess match between Ger
many and America—between M. Harr*
witts, of Prussia, and Mr. Morphy, of the
United States, —is now going on in this
city at the Cafe de la Regence, in the Rue
St. Ilonore, the headquarters of the lovers
of this scientific game. The match is to be
won by the gainer of the first seven games.
Mr. Harrwittz gained the two first games,
Mr. Morphy gained the three next, the last
of which was played yesterday afternoon
and evening. In the third and fourth
games Mr. .’Morphy made some of the
most brilliant and startling moves that ever
had been seen in the Cafe de la Regence,
and so great was the enthusiasm, that tele
graphic dispatches were sent to the Rhine
to Merry, the Duke of Brunswick and oth
er great players, begging them to come
and see the wonder of the world.'Notwith
standing we are in the midst of the water
ing season, when all the fashion is suppos
ed at least out of town, the Cafe de laJße
gence is the scene of a crowd, or rather a
mob of distinguished men, and even wo
men, of all nationalities and all tongues.
It is believed that Morphy will beat Harr
wits, though it is not by any means sure,
and in that case, he becomes the champion
of the wo. Id, for no man in Europe can
beat Harrwitz. Harrwitz is 27 years old,
Morphy but22. . Morphy plays much fas
ter than Harrwits, and in fact, faster than
any adversary he has yet met in Europe,
and the boldness and originality of his
moves strike the lookers on with amaze
ment and admiration.

Facts in Commerce and Trade
Illinois and General Statistics.— The
exports from the State of Illinois, in Amer
ican and foriegn vessels, during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1857, amounted in the
aggregate to $1,585,096. Her imports du
ring the same period amounted in the ag
grate to $326,325; showing a balance of
trade in her favor of $1,258,771. If all the
States could show as favorable a balance
sheet at the close of the same year, we
might laugh at the idea of a money Panic.
How stands the account with the State of
New York? She exported $119,196,301,
and imported during the year 1857, $236,-
463,485, leaving against her $117,296,-
184. Alany {of the old States imported
largely beyond their exports; but the grand
total of the exports from all the States, as
compared with the imports, does not fall so
far short as might be {imagined. The ac
count stands thus: exports, $338,985,065;
imports, $360,790,141. Imports over ex
ports, $21,805,076. It should not be over
looked that much of our exphrts has been
of the precious metals—coin and bullion.
Marching to Graves.
Hamlet spoke of Fortinbras and his twen
ty thousand men, as being ready, “for a fan
tasy, and trick of fame,” to “go to their
graves like beds.” But it would be diffi
cult to imagine tor what “fantasy,” or “trick
of fame,” or what consideration of any na
ture soever, thousands of unacclimated per
sons are daily coining to this city in tin?
thickest ofthe epidemic, to “go to their
graves like beds.” They have been warn
ed, again and again, to strenuously slay
away, which would force the epidemic to
die out for want of material, and enable us
to reach the frosty season, when it will be
come safe for strangers to visit the city, with
as small a sacrifice of life as possible. The
whole press ofthe city, have united in a
protest against such suicidal folly, They
were only actuated in this by a natural de
sire to see human life spared from unneces
sary exposure, and to avoid further and
heedless accumulation of proof adverse to
the sanitary reputation of the city. But
the warning has been unheeded. The pro
test has proved ineffectual. Recruits are
constantly flocking in, to be enlisted under
the banner of Death, and doomed, tor less
than “a fantasy, and trick of fame”—infin
itely less—to “goto their graves like beds.”
This is next to incredible, but it is so, as
certified byjthe various charitable associa
tions ofthe city, who represent that nearly
one half the cases of yellow fever which
have come to their notice recently are
strangers just arrived in the city. Really,
it is abusing the hospitality of New Orleans
to demand hospitable graves of it in this
manner. Enemies are welcome to them ;
but we may be pardoned if we grudge them
to friends.— N. (). Delta.
