MONDAY, OCTOBER 25.
St. Louis Conference—Pishop Pierce.
The St. Louie Conference of the Methodit-t
Church South, which assembled on the 11th inst.,
voted to exclude from the discipline that clause
prohibiting the purchasing of slaves. The Com
mittee on Sunday Schools reported within the ju
risdiction ol this Conference, 104 Sabbath Schools,
110 Superintendents, 231 officers, 663 Teachers,
0,170 Scholars, 15,251 volumes of books in Libra
ries. In regard to the appointment of agencies for
Sabbath Schools, Bishop Fierce, said:
“The system of Methodist Sabbath Schools was
based upon the supposition r that every preacher
would be a special agent in the work to superin
tend its economy. Preachers are at fault as much
as parents. Tho Sabbath School is the ground
work of househol i piety—of Scripture discipline
and government, An absence of this piety at the
hearth of home—of this discipline and govern
ment is the origin of great evils in this world. It
is to be remembered that one of the first principles
of the church is this—that personal responsibility,
cannot be transferred to any other person, whether
it be to parent, teacher or preacher. The Bishop
read several paragraphs from the Discipline, com
menting forcibly upon each. When preachers
were asked concerning their efforts in this cause
they generally answered that they had done as
much as was practicable—us.much as circumstan
ces would permit. lie disliked these kind of
answers—it seemed to him veiy much like a lie
agaiust the Holy Ghost. He felt it his duty to
speak plain, and it was at all times practicable to
do right. The bishop exhorted the Presiding El
ders and Preachers to canvass their sections in
behalf of the Sabbath School eause—to conform
to the Discipline'in this respect, assuring them that
thereby they could accoumplish more good than
by any other measures. He urged them to perse
vere witli a faith that recognized the Providence
of God, and to work with a zeal which would
result in a harvest in the future, tho full, value of
which eternity only will reveal.”
John M. Giles, Esq.,—“Justice ”
In another column a correspondent over tho
signature of “Justice” informs us that John M.
Giles, Esq, of Houston county, will contend with
Hon. Henry G. Lamar, lor the Judgeship of the
Macon Circuit. In a short paragraph in our issue
of the 14th inst., we alluded to the character and
services of the latter gentleman, and ventured to
declare our belief that they would be appropriately
acknowledged by ilie electors of that Circuit. In
this appreciation we. were sustained by the Grand
Jury of Macon county, who expressed the hope
that the succeeding incumbent would possess the
qualifications of competency and impartiality in
an equal degree with Judge Lamar. We cannot
but regard the insinuation conveyed in the letter
of our correspondent as ungenerous. True he at
tempts some palliation in the concluding para
graph of his letter ; but he does it by assuming a
fact which, if true, deprives his attempted sarcasm
of either point or justification. It is true that un
til his letter wa3 receivod we were not aware of
the candidacy ol Mr. Giles. What our corres
pondent dignifies with tho name of jiro]>hety, was
declared by us with exclusive reference to any op
position* to Judge Lamar from the opposition
ranks. We will say, for the edification of “Jus
tice,” that wo never pay a compliment because of
the privilege of our position ; but for the simple
and, perhaps to some, unsatisfactory reason that
wo happon to think the subject worthy of it. Mr.
Giles, though personally unknown to u=, is doubt
less all that our correspondent claims for him. A
friend ot ours, who has known him lone; aud
woll. gives him an endorsement equally flattering.
Democratic Mass Meeting.
There was a laree and enthusiastic meeting in
New York recently in which the democratic can*
didate for Governor, lion- Amaea J. Parker, and
Hon. Jefferson Davis addressed the people. The
epitome of the remarks of both gentlemen are be
fore us and exhibit the principles of the Kepublican
party in no enviable light. In vindicating the
South, the Democratic candidate read the follow
ing extract Irom a speech of Mr. Giddings of Ohio,
showing the dangerous tendencies of the Republic
can party, to-wit:
“ * l°°k forward to the day when there shall be
a servile insurrection iu the South ; when the
black man, armed with British bayonets, and led on
by British orators,shall assert his freedom and wage
a war of extermination against his master; when
the torch of the incendiary shall light up the towns
and cities of the South and blot out the last vestige
ot slavery. And though I may not mock at their
calamity and laugh when their fear cometh, yet I
will hail it as the dawn of a political millen
ium.”
Pacific Stage Route.
Overland regular mail communication has been
established betweon St. Louis and San Francisco
The first mail arrived on the 9th inst., in twenty
three days from the shores of Pacific, and it was
the occasion of general rejoicings in St. Louis.—
In answer to a telegraphic message announcing
the result, President Buchananan says: “It is a
glorius triumph for civilization and the Union
Settlements will soon follow the course of the road,
and the East and the West will be bound together
by a chain of liviug Americans which can never
be broken.”
Life of Bishop Capers.
We call attention to the communication of “S”
in reference to the Book just from the press, enti
tled the “Life of Bishop Capers.” It is said to be
one of the most interesting books which has been
issued from the press for many years. It is found
at Dr. Woodruff’s Book'Depository.
Our Affairs with Centrar, America.— A cor
respondent of the New York Times at San Juan
writes that Geueral Lamar has been courteously
received at San Jo3e- The rumor that he had de
manded indemnity from the Costa Rican govern
. ment for injuries inflicted upon American citizens
in the late Nicaraguan war, to the extent ot two
millions oi dollars deserves no credit.
British Railways.— At the Leeds meeting of
the British Association, September, 1858—Mr
Fairbuirn, C. E., stated that there were in England
9500 miles of railway in operation, and estimating
that there was one locomotive of two hundred
horse power to every mile, each running one hun
dred and twenty miles a day, there was a total of
380,000 miles traveled a day, or 158,000,000 miles
a year. The force roquired was equivalent to that
ol 200,000 horses in constant operation through
out the yoar. A clear revenue of £12,000,000 a
year was loft for distribution among the sharehol.

3} cgr cent, upon £‘320,000,000 which was the orig

Messrs Editors: —The object of this commu
nicationis to call attention to the above work,re
cently issued from the Meth alist Publi-hing

Woodruff, Broad Street.
It is foreign to my purpose of attempting a re
view, as this has already been done by competent
hands. North and South, the Secular, as well a9
the Religious Press, has spoken out most favorably,
and in strong commendation of the book. And
this is not marvelous, for where shall we find a
subject, whose life is here portrayed, more full of
interest, especially to Southern And
where could have been found a biographer so well
fitted to the ta-k, as the Rev. Dr. Wightman.
The autobiographical, part is so natural and
truthfully told, that we can almost fancy ourselves
members of the family group, listening and gath*
ering instruction from the lips of wisdom and
experience in divine from the narra
tive, so plain and simple, we learn the process of
conversion, radical and evangelical, leading to
entire consecration of body and soul to duty and

If Bishop Capers was not in the “line of succes

FOIt THE TIMES.
Judge of the Macon Circ lit-
Editors of the Times.
Gentlemen :— ln your daily issue of the 14th
inst. I notice a highly complimentary notice of the
Hon. H. G. Lamar, who is a candidate for the
position which ho now holds by appointment, as
Judge of the Macon Circuit. To this I do not
object, because it is a mere exercise of a right
which every freeman claims and whichjn this age
of news-paper compliments, seems to be exceed
ingly dear to editors and news-paper
generally. But when you assume the part of a
prophet and predict for Judge Lamar “a triumph
ant victory is opposed.” I must ask leave to doubt
tho divine origin of your inspiration, and to ex
press the opinion that perhaps you may be mis
taken in this vaticination at least.
Judge Lamar is opposed by John M. Giles Esqr,
of Houston County, an eminent lawyer of the
Macon Circuit, who for twenty years has been
studiously devoted to the practice of his profession
and ranks among the best lawyers and jurists in
the State. His “political reputation is as dear to
the democracy” of his Circuit and as well known
to them as any man’s, and the contest therefore*
between him and Judge Lamar is altogether one
of personal fitness for the Office. It is more than
probable that the Americans or opponents of De
mocracy will bring out no*candidale, and in this
respect have set a mos t excellent example to the
other Circuits in the State. All parties seem to
prefer that in this Circuit, politics and politicians
should have nothing to do with the selection of
the incumbent for the exalted—l had almost said
sacred —office of Judge.
I feel sure that had you known these facts you
would not havo drawn an invidious line of distinc
tion between these two worthy gentlemen, but have
left the Circuit between them to ba decided by the
voters of the Macou Circuit, upon theiripersonal
merits and qualifications tor tho Office.

It is said that Genera! Jerez will imme

The Isthmus of Panama.— A Valparaiso
correspondent of the Philadelphia Pennsyl
vanian argues at some length in lavor of
the purchase of the Panama Railroad by
the United States. lie represents that
such a measure, if the capacity ol the road
was increased and a low rate adopted,
would vastly benefit American interests on
the Pacific coast:
“This project matured, and we would
soon have American lines of steamers be
tween Panama and Valparasio, Panama
and China, and San Francisco and China.
The Pacific trade of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia,
Chili, and the Islands on the Pacific, with
the exception, perhaps of the guano, would
all be secured to the United States. The
difference in trade would be equal to sixty,
perhaps as much as seventy days on each
eargo. Now ninety-five days is an aver
age passage from New York to Valparaiso,
around Cape Horn. A good line of steam
ers on the route between Panama and Val
parasio, and cargoes of goods could and
would be taken through in less than thirty
days.”
Interesting from Mexico.
Washington, Oct. 16. — Information has
been received here that General Casanova,
commanding the forces at Guadalaxara, had
defeated in the vicinity ot that city by
Degollado, Casanova lost out of one thou
sand men, eight hundred in killed wound
ed and disbanded, besides his artillery and
ammunition, Blanco and Rocha, Cenerals
under Degoilado, had taken the cities ol Le
onf'CSfaya, Salamanca, and some towns
near Guanaxuato, Culiacan, the capital of
the State of Sinaloa, had pronounced m fa
vor of the constitutionalists, and Coronodo,
chief of the constitutional forces there, was
marching on Mazatlon. Three companies
of Echeagaray’s forces, at Jalapa, had gone
over to the constitutionalists, who were
posted, under Llave, live leagues from that
city. Three other companies were to fol
low this example next day. There is a
general movement, from the circumference
to the centre, to the City of Mexico and Pu
ebla, on the part of the constitutionalist
forces, and it is believed Zuloaga’s fall is
imminent.
Garza’s conduct, in making the forced
loan on foreigners, is disapproved by the lib

Later from California.
St. Louis, Oct. 19.—The third overland
California mail arrived last night, bringing
letters dated September 23th,but no papers.
Five passengers came through. The first
and second mails from St. Louis were met,
progressing finely. No Indian interference
lias thus far been met with.
Loss of Steamers Flying Cloud and
Rudolph. —The steamer Flying Cloud sunk
at Devil’s Island on the 17th inst. The
boat cost $55 000, and was insured for
$15,030. The condition of her cargo, which
was large aud valuable, has no’ been as
certained.
On the same day, the steamer Rodolph
sunk at G lose Island. She was valued at
twenty thousand dollars and was insured
for $15,000, Both boats will probably be
raised.
A Practice that should be. To our
Brethren of the Press.
We would call the attention of our breth
ren ot the press to a subject which interests
them and the people to a considerable de
gree—we allude to the advertising of the
laws in ail the newspapers of the State, as
they are passed and signed. There is a
very great lack of information among the
masses as to what laws have been passed,
as each session of the Legislature closes its
labors. Even the phamplet editions ot the
more important acts have to be gotten up
by private enterprise, so that the legal pro
feesion may he able to perform their duties
to their clients, and know in time what is
the law of the land. As it is, the regularly
authorized edition of the laws for distribu
tion, seldom appears until months after the
laws themselves have been in operation.—
The only way to remedy the difficulty
that we can see, is to advertise each law,
as it is passed and signed, once in each
newspaper published in the State. By this
means the whole body of the laws will be
brought annually into the possession of
the peopje at large. The cost of such a
plan will be something; but we feel confi
dent that every man will feel perfectly wil
ling to be taxed for the support of a meas
ure from which he will be constantly deri
ving so much benefit.
As it is a matter which concerns the
Press, as well as the people, will the editors
throughout the State please to make men
tion of the matter in their columns, and
press the subject on the attention ofthe Sen
ators and Representatives of their coun
ties ? —Rome Southerner Recorder.
Democracy Defeated—The Issue.
A correspondent of the Pennsylvanian thus
states the issue which resulted in the defeat of the
Democracy in Pennsylvania:
The result of the election in this Con
gressional district, I see, is claimed by the
Anti-Lecompton victory. But Diets, and
not assertions, are the data on which men
will found their opinions. It may be re
membered that the commercial revulsion
which occured during the administration of
Martin Van Buren, was charged by the op
position to the veto of the United States
Bank and the substitution of the’Sub-treas
ury. This device took with the masses,
and they buzzard for “Tippecanoe and
Tyler too.” Thousands were out of em
ployment, and thousands more were bank
rupt, who imputed their reverses to the
policy ofjhe Federal Administration, and
determined to try a change of rulers. They
obtained a change, and accident alone pre
vented them from being saddled with a
swindling institution on a larger scale than
before. So at the present time. Thou
sands have lately become bankrupt through
extravagance and wild speculations, and
thousands more are out of employment.—
Here was an opportunity for the” opposi
tion to seize upon and turn to advantage,
a9 the revulsion in 1837 was turned to ad
vantage by the Whigs. But the great
dfficulty of the Black Republicans was, to
get a plank for a platform. The United
States Bank was dead and beyond the pow
er of a resurrection, because it never had a
soul. The Kansas question was settled
and had lost its interests with all exeept the
politicians. The laboring masses cared not
a fig for Kansas nor “popular sovereignty;”
they wanted employment and bread. What
then ? “Why,” said the opposition, “the
Democratic party are the advocates of free
trade—they are the free trade party. We
want protection to home industry— a pro
tective tariff; that will revive business, and
give employment to the masses.” This
artful, mendacious device on the eve of
the election took with hundreds in the
Seventh Congressional District, particularly
iin Lehigh. Their tickets were printed on
small Bags, headed “Tariff—National
Protection— .People’s Ticket,” and were
kept waving in the hands of their satellites
around the polls, from the time they opened
until they closed. Kansas and “popular
sovereignty” were not even whispered, and
it is doubtful whether they affected the
ticket to the extent of a hundred votes in
the whole Congressional district.
My son, if thou wilt wear tight boots
there are three bad things thou wilt inevi
tably suffer—namely, a bad corn, a bad gait
and a bad temper.
A duel came off at Schenectady recently
between two exquisites. They fought with

fire. The crowd rushed through every
street to the spot, and the greatest excite
ment pervaded the whole community. It
was soon ascertained, however, that the fire
was further on and confined to a pile of
wood that was corded up on the line of the
road, otne three hundred yards beyond the
canal bridge. Only some fifty cords were
consumed, the engines having arrived in
time to prevent the destruction of the entire
pile, consisting of some seven hundred
cords. Luckily, the wind was blowing from

damage. The wood belonged to Messrs.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
HAKIMS COUNTY.
HARRIS SUPERIOR COURT, ?
October Term, 1858. $
We, the Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn for
the first week of this term, beg leave to make the
following presentments:
We have examined the offices and books'of the
Ordinary and Clerks of the Inferior and Superior
Courts, and find their books as usual, and always
heretofore, neatly and satisfactorily kept.
There is a balance on hand of the Poor School
Fund of seven hundred and sixty eight dollars
fifty five cents: in Treasurer’s hands, SOS.
We report the Jail in good and safe condilion,
excepting the steps and platform in a decaying
state and neecing repairs, and perhaps the Jail
needs painting. We recommend its being kept
as clean as possible.
Where bodies of men are compelled to be kept
together for a week at a time, on important busi
ness, comfort is a great item. The Grand Jury
Room is supplied with bard, uncouth benches,
calculated to lire out and put any set of men in a
bad humor, and perfectly horrifying, with the idea
of increased aggravation, In encountering the
special Jury Box, a tedious case, and a slow bro
ther at law. We advise a supply of Chairs for
the Grand Jury Room, to tear up the Jury Bench
es and supply their places with Chairs, or have
them cushioned. This last request has been
made by former Juries, from time to time, hut the
honorable guardians of tho peoples’ money have
not seen proper to do it. Wo love economy, but
we love comfort, and despise a popularity pur
chased with stinginess. Tho high rates of tax
which we are now paying induces us ,to hope for
a change. A large number of our people desire
seats within the Bar, adjustod for seeing and hear
ing what may be going on in the Courts Of Jus
tice, by the more peaceable and fortunate portion
of our citizens.
The bridge at 11. L. Lowe’s needs plank and
railing ; is in a dangerous condilion; also, the
bridge near Maj. Gunn’s is reported tousasneed-
mg repair.
The roads generally are in a good condition,
owing, perhaps, as muchjto weather as work. We
present A. J. Gordon, Thac. V. Walker, and Le
roy L. Pearce to the consideration of Inferior Court
as Commissioners of the 717th district, for the bad
condition of the public road leading from Judge
Huey’s to Columbus, or that portion from the
south side of the Mountain to District lino. We
are almost induced to present the commissioners
of the Shoe-shop district on account of their por
tion of the road from dowers’ Church to Lowo’s
bridge, which is truly “ a hard road to travel.”
The Patrol service is too much neglected. We
advise the repeal of that nonsensical law appoint
ng Patrol Commissioners, and to leave it as before
in the hands of the Justices of the Peace, besides
the main object of this last Act is made a nullity
in effect by the last proviso. We advise also the
repeal of the law exempting persons over 45 years
from Patrol duty; our most discreet and effectual
men for that service being from forty to fifty-five
years of age ; indeed, we think that the Legisla
ture could do good service if they were to spend
a few Sessions entirely in the repeal of silly and
usuless laws, or, if practicable, not to meet at all
for the next ten years, and give us time to under
stand the budget on hand.
Crime seemsto bo on the increase in our county.
In the last nine months there have been some five
cases of poison and suspected poison, within 20
miles of our county site. The failure to detect and
punish seems to have encouraged attempts on hu
man life. We think that the sale of deadly poi
sons should be prohibited, under heavy penalties,
except to physicians, and we dou’t know that they
are necessary to them. We think, with his Hon
or, Judge Worrill, that epeedyjustice is indis
pensable to good government, and by delay many
villians escape their deserts. The interest of the
public dies away in a false sympathy, and the
criminal is let loose on society ten fold more the
child of the devil than before, an insolent swag
gering wretch that has killed his man and claims
the fears of all who may come in his way. Our
Juries almost invariably convict on first trial, but
as has been done repeatedly in our midst, by the
hope of the Supreme Court, by the shrewdness of
counsel and by every imaginable delay, the public
despair, and, as a consequence, the Gallows has
not had its dues; and as consummate scoundrels
as ever went unwhipt of justice are suffered to walk
free through the land. We woyld not set up our
judgment in artarrogant manner, but we do say that
our people have not realized their hopes respect
ing the Supreme Court, and unless it results in
more certainty of the law, and the public becomes
satisfied that it is not the cause of the delay of
speedy justice we think it will be demanded to be
abolished, and ought to be- Justice, we are in
clined to think, is somewhat a matter of opinion:
the Jury differs with the Judge, the Judge with the
Jury, the Lawyer with the Judge, and the clients
if unfortunate, differ with all, and it results that
justice is a matter of opinion and satisfaction. A
party before the Circuit Judge is satisfied; his op
ponent is not, and resorts to the highest Court, re
verses the decision below, and his satisfaction or
justice becomes the disquietude and injustice of the
other. But, as against delay, we would not advise
undue haste. A vindictive and hasty public sen
timent is perhaps more to be dreaded than a slack
reluctant execution of the laws. One other item,
and we have done. In cases of indictment for
murder we find, very prevalent, a feeling and sen
timent against capital punishment, which, howev-
er, yields readily to a punishment ot confinement
tor life. Had the Jury the power, where often
they acquit entirely, they might ofiep inflict the se
verest punishment short of taking life. Some
think the punishment of all crimes should be left
to the Jury We are not prepared to give an
opinion. We hope the Lord, in mercy, may grant
to enlighten the public mind to a means by which
to abolish doggeries as the corrupters of negroes
and the morals ot the white man, and save us gen
eral ly from crime.
To Judge Worrill we tender our respects as a
man,and our high regard for him as an officer.
The Sol'citor, Thad. Oliver, will accept our
compliments for his attention to our body, and the
same we tender to J. N. Ramsey, Sol. pro tern.
We request the publication of these Present
ments in the Weekly Columbus Enquirer and

BARBOUR COUNTY LANDS
FOR SALE.
HAVING purchased land in the West, I now
offer for sale both my plantations, lying on
the North Cowikee Creek. The place on which
I now reside, known as the Barna Ivey Plantation
contains 2,475 acres, with a large proportion of
fresh and Hammock land. Tin re are on the plan
tation 1,400 - acres cleared, and in a fine state of
cultivation, thoroughly drained, with a large num
ber of well located ditches. The dwelling is
commodious, having 6 large rooms, neatly finish
ed, and is situated within the corporate limits of
Glennville, convenient to the Colleges and
Churches. Tho out houses are in good repair and
sufficient for the accommodation of 100 negroes.
On this place, are two new gin housos, one of
which is propelled by water power, to which is
attached a grist mill, all in good order.
Lying broadside this place is mv other planta
tion, recently owned by Col. W. IT Owens, con
taining 901 acres. The dwelling, out-houses, gin
house and screw are all new and well finished,
and equally convenient to Glennville. Being de
termined to sell, I would not object to dividing
my lands to suit purchasers. To those acquainted
with these lands I need not say more—to those at
a distance, I would say that they cannot be ex
celled in point of health or productiveness in east
Alabama. j
Glennville is noted for the morality, intelligence
and refinement of its citizens. It is situated 12
miles Irom tho Mobile and Girard Railroad, G
mile 9 from Jernigan, a steamboat landing on tho
Chattahoochie river, and 16 mile 9 from Eufaula,
to which point the South-Western Railroad of
Georgia will soon ho completed. For further par
ticulars, address me at Glennville, Alabama.
P.S. As 1 am axious’to carry out my plans west
I propose if 1 can find a purchaser for ihe above
named lands, to let them go at the low price of
tvvolve dollars and a half por acre, cash.
And if not sold before Saturday the twentieth of
November next, 1 will have them divided into
two or moro tracts by a survey, and offer them
on that day at public outcry to tho highest bidder.
Land buyers might do well to examine the
lands before buying elsewhere.
