j THE DAILY TIMES. | 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 was imposing on Denham. 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.” Election in Schley County. The Sumpter Republican states that the elec tion in Schley county resulted as follows: Rev.

Health of Mobile. Office of the Board of Health, Mobile, Oct. 9. Theßoard of Health reports ten interments from yellow fever for the twea ty-lour hours eadiuir at •iX o’clock this day. D. Herndon. IVf. D, Sectary. Alpheus Baker, Jr., Esq. 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. CtS’-The Boston Courier, the old organ of Dan iel Webster, is out in favor of the Democratic candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, against the Black Republican candidate, N. P. Banks. 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 city. The deceased was in his thirty-third year, and is highly spoken of by his late confreres. 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 the overseer on the premises of Mr. Ezekiel Hollis two miles south of Opelika, came to a melancholy and painful death on Saturday the 2d instant. While engaged in repairing a cotton screw the pins by which the top clamps had been secured suddenly gave way and one of those weighty timbers fell upon the head of Mr. Boyd, ing him to death upon the spot. The unfortunate man leaves in humble circnmstances a wife and several children to mourn their untimely bereavement. Salem Ala Era Oct 9th. Sons of S. S. Prentiss. —ln the pro ceedings of the Board of Trustees for the First District School in New Orleans, (free school) published in the papers of that city, 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.” _ 23T* To give brilliancy to the eyes shut them early at night, and open them early in the morniDg, and let the mind be con stantly intent on the acquisition of knowl edge, or on the exercise of benevQlent feelings. 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. Washington States. 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. A ’Mexican General at a Yankee Training. —Gen. Comonforf, ex President of Mexico, was present at the encampment of the first division of the Massachusetts militia last week.

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. ().

HAIR RESTORATIVE. llow to Preserve Beauty. —Nothing is more becoming to a man or woman, than a beautiful and luxuriant head of hair, and a woman’s beau ty is certainly incomplete without a fair complex ion, and he or she who neglects these great and important adornments of nature must expect to suffer the mortification of premature baldness, and a wrinkled face and a sallow skin.
