THF, lIAILY TIMES. 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. ders and creditors ; but this was only a dividend of 3} cgr cent, upon £‘320,000,000 which was the orig nal cost of the 9500 miles of line, or an average o, £34,000 a mile. a 1 FOK THE TIMES. Life of Bishop Capers, by Rev. W. M. Wightman D D. Messrs Editors: —The object of this commu nicationis to call attention to the above work,re cently issued from the Meth alist Publi-hing at Na-hville. and lor sale in Columbus, by Dr. 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 to God. Then follows the masterly biographical depart ment, equally tru’hful in its tlelinea'ion, ot the devoted man of God, the successful, eloquent Prea cher and the highly polished Christian gentleman— the highest style of man If Bishop Capers was not in the “line of succes sion” it matters little, if God’s blessing rested up on hi3 labors, and if hundreds and probably thou sands, white and black, are to be found as seals to his ministry. The day of eternity alone can re'’ veal the wide extent of his usefulness upon the earth. S. 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. Macon Circuit—Oct. 20 1858. JUSTICE. Mr. George W. Adams. We understand that .this gontleman, now the Superintendent of the South-Western °ailroac'> has beenofferod the position of Superintendent cf the Central Railroad, made vacant by the death ol Emerson Foote Esq.’JA battler selection could not have been made. Mr. Adams unites all the qual ities of a fine officer with the social traits of a got.” tleman. It is probablo'that he will accept the ap pointment. o£?“Eightyfive members for the next House o{ Representatives have been elected, filty two free dirtmen.and thirty-throe democrats. The States which will yet elect, are now repre sented, according to the Washington States, by eighty-eight democrats, fifty- two freo-dirters, and twelve “Americans.” Mr. Hume in Russia*— Late European journals represent that Mr. Hume, the American medium, recently gave an exhibition of the spirit phenom ena that occurred in his presence before the Czar at Petersburg, and that the Czarina was so delight ed that she gave him a diamond ring worth six hundred dollars The General Newspaper Despatch.— It is said that Genera! Jerez will imme diately communicate with the government of Nicaragua relative to the non-success of his mission, and asks for further instruc tions. He was emphatically informed by Mr. Cass, that whatever.may be done by France or any other foreign power, our gov ernment will protect the Transit route to the fullest extent and at all hazards. Some friends of the administration, oc cupying a high political position, express themselves favorable to a direct application to Congress for an appropriation to conduct a negotiation for the purchase of Cuba. The receipts of the Post Office Depart ment for the quarter ending on the 30th of June were & 1,818,000. 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 eral leaders. 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 lucifer matches, on the twopath. One of parties was slightly killed, and the other mortally frightened. Telegraphic.

Fire on the Central Railroad. —Be- tween twelve and one o’clock yesterday a dense volume of smoke was seen rising from the western limits of the city, and in a few moments our entire population was thrown into consternation by a report that the cotton at the Central Raiiroad depot (now amounting to 15,000 bales) was on 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 the north-east, and the road sustained no damage. The wood belonged to Messrs. Robert Habersham &. Sons, of this city. — Sav. Republican “20th inst . 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.

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. 11. BASS. Oct. 22, 1858. d&.wtf NEW CASH DRY GOODS STORE.
