COLUMBUsT WMDNESDAY. OCTOBER 27. on Foreign Bank Agencies. We refer our readers to an extract from the Comptroller General’s Report, on the above sub ject, published in another column. It therdnjap pears that the Banking capital of thi3 State paj s directly into the Treasury 39 cents on the [sloo, free of cost, while foreign banking capital, estima ted in the manner adopted by the present tax law, pays to the Stan only 29,25 on the SIOO, inclu sive of Receivers’ and Collectors’ commissions.— We presume it was this difference in the Slate tax paid hy domestic and foreign capital, and the ig norance of another fact, stated in the extract al luded to, which induced some of our cotemporaries, or their correspondents, some time ago, to declare that the latter was tho especial favorite of our Legislature. They forgot, or never knew that no other than a State tax was levied upon the banking capital of the Stan, while foreign capital paid, in addi tion, a county tax, which is in many cases equal to that levied by the Stai \ The contribution, there fore, of the latter, though less to the Treasury, is greater in the aggregate, and believing this dis crimination to be impolitic as well as unjust, wc adopt the recommendation of the Comptroller General,and hope the Legislature will repeal tfle Act of 1860, and substitute therefor a law which shall be more equal in its burdens-afit cting foreign and domestic capital alike. The policy of exclu sion which, we regret to say, finds favor in certain quarters, is opposed hy the spirit of the age and is unworthy the intelligence of our noble State. Prize Fights and the Press. The news-papers arc teeming with accounts of a brutal fist fight, which occurred recently on the Canada shore between two natives of New York. Every round, in which the poor fellows pounded each other almost to jelly, is described with the minutest detail as though the vitiated tas.e of the people craved it. We have too high an apprecia tion of the morals of the American people to think that they relish such deeds of heroism and daring. It might excite the pride and stimulat i the ambi tion of the black-guard, but it is revolting to the sense of every humane man. It is unworthy that elevated, moral sentiment which beats in the hearts of the American freemen. It is beneath the civil ization of the present day and the press of the country, the great lever of public opinion, should denounce it, rather than teach youths such les sons of public morals. An exchange, whose views we adopt, says: “These fights are not intended simply as a means of wreaking their (the pugilists’) animosities upon one another, or of testing their physical strength, but of furnishing the young, and the coarse, and tho vicious,-with the means of gambling. A prize fight derives nearly all its interest from the fact that large sums of money may be staked on its re sult. All gambling is a public evi 1 , strikes public morals a deeper blow than almost any other form of vice; but gambling in which the chances and excitement are found in the suf fering and disfigurement of two human beings, trained for the purpose, is one of the most atroc ious offences against society that can be conceived of. If there be any one thing more than another which has contributed to the happiness and pros perity of this nation, it is the inherent respect for man as man, in his simplest character, which lies at the base both of our social and political system. We have always proclaimed aloud our respect for humanity, simply because it was human, and we have acted on this declaration, both in our legisla tion and in all the relations of life. But how is it possible to maintain this feeling, if our young men are every few months presented with a spectacle which converts two male adultsjnto machines for mutual destruction by pounding, gashing and mauling, for the gratification of a few hundred gamblers ?” Peterson Thu catt, Esqr., The Georgia (Macon) Telegraph after compli menting the able ropoi c of the Comptroller Gener al, thus speaks: A zealous, able, indefatigable and obliging of ficer in the position of Col. Thwcatt, has raie op portunities for rendering public service, which in crease every year with his increasing knowledge of the resources and condition of the State and people. We hope Col. T. willlong illustrate and adorn his present position, and the value of a model Comptroller, which we certainly hold him to be. Balloon Race. The Balloon race between Mons. Godard and Prof. Steiner took place on Tuesday of last week. The two balloons came in collision, while at an el evation of some five thousand feet from earth, but no serious damage to cither was done. The race was won by Prof. Steiner, he having been in the air ten minutes longer than his competitor and traveled in the time (six hours and ten minutes) about two hundred and thirty miles. Prof. Stein er reached an elevation of 12,000 feet, while the greatest height attained by Mons. Godard was be tween 3,000 and 9,000 feet. The “Nigger.” With all the philanthropy for the “nigger” in Ohio, it appears that he is excluded from the elec tive franchise, the jury box, the insane, blind, deaf, and dumb asylums, the militia and the poor house. The “nigger” is a valuable article in political trade, but he is not wanted elsewhere. Cuffy, however, has got his “dander” up and—calls a convention! Inquests. —Coroner Eden held an inquest yes terday on the body of John Powers, drowned in Back river, on Thursday last, by falling overboard from a flat boat in tow of the steamer Ida. An inquest was also held on the bod}’ of the lad Michael McHugh, drowned on Wednesday last, while endeavoring to catch apples floating in the river.— Sac. A ews. Artesian Well. —The Louisville Journal says the stream of water now thrown out in a jet is a most beautiful feature of this well, and is worth going a long distance to see. It was bored through solid limestone, alternating at various depths with seams of sandy and argilaceous lime stones. The well is now 2,056 feet deep, and throws 225 gallons of water per minute, or 324,- 000 gallons in twenty-four hours. The force with which the water passes through an inch nozzle throws it 66 feet above the surface of the ground Hon. Jeff Davis. 1 The Union, in an article commending the ad dress of Senator Davis at the New York ratifica tion meeting regrets— “To see in a late number of the Charleston Mer cury a severe assault upon Senator Davis for the conservative and conciliatory course he has pur sued during his sojourn in New England during the summer. It is true that the strong censures of the Mercury upon the Mississippi Senator have a ground of justification to an extract which it publishes, and assumes to be genuine, from a re puted speech of Mr. Davis at Bangor, in which the speaker seems to concede that an anti-slavery majority in a Territory has the right to exclude slavery by denying remedial legislation to slave holding immigrants. In view of the declarations of the same speaker at Fancuil Hall and New York, wc are constrained to discredit the genuine ness of the reputed Bangor extract vouched by the Mercury .” Chess Tournament at the Alabama State Fair. —The Montgomery Chess Club propose to have a chess tournament in that city at the time of the State Fair, during the first week in Novem ber next. Three prizes are to be awarded to the successful competitors: Any citizen of the State will be allowed to participate in the contest. fiZjT” The Washington correspondent of the Associated Press reiterates his assertion that two of the Society Islands have made an application for annexation to the United States, on addition al, and what he conceives to be reliable authori ty. The action of Count Sartiges in the matter was not in his official capacity. FOR THE TIMES. To the Editors Columbus Times, Dear Sirs: — I learn that the stockholders in the Loan Associations of this city have been a little alarmed by an article which appeared in the Sun copied from the Georgia Citizen. The article refer red to comments on two decisions of the Supreme Court, in regard to Dower, and the other in relation to the Widow’s maintenance. Loan Associations are not more interested in these de cisions thad other lenders on bond and mortgage, and the effect of these decisions on the Associations should create no uneasiness, for they are affected by them in a very slight degr e, for the following reasons: Ist. Most of their loans are on Trust property, and this class of property stands unaffected by either of these decisions. 2d. As to the mortgages that are not in trust, they are divided in amounts varying, originally, from SI,OOO to $4,000, (now much reduced by payments,) and, unless we were visited with an epidemic that should select for its subjects mem bers of the Association, it would take a very astute arithmetician to calculate the fractional risk to which these Associations are subjected by the de cision. A STOCKHOLDER- ax on Foreign Book Ageucles. The Legislature of 1856 altered the law in rela tion to the return of foreign Bank Agencies, and the collection of Taxes from the same. The pre vious law required a foreign bank agent to “make a return on oath to the Treasurer of the highest amount of loans on paper discounted, and ex change purchased by him, and running to maturi ty at any one time during the twelve months im mediately preceding such returns,” and it further required “such agent to pay into the treasury, free of all cost or charge whatsoever, the same rate of tax upon one-thinl of such highest amount re turned by him aforesaid, as is now imposed or may hereafter be imposed by law, upon the char tered banks of this State.” The Act of the Leg islature of 1856 requires all foreign bank agents to give in on oath to the Receiver of Taxables, for the county wherein said agent and employee may reside or sojourn, whenever called upon so to do, a just and true statement or exhibit of the amount in coin, bills, notes, drafts and cheeks, used and employed by him during the last jireceding quar ter, which amount so given in shall bejhanded ov er by the Receiver to the Tax Collector of said county, whose duty it shall be to collect as other taxes are collected, nine and three fourth cents on each hundred dollars so given in and returned, estimating bills, notes, drafts and checks as mo ney.” As the previous law only placed foreign bank agencies upon a footing with other banks of the State, in the of taxation, I presume that it was the intention of tho Legislature of 1856 to increase the State tax on foreign bank agencies. Instead of its doing this, it actually decreased the State tax on foreign bank capital 25 per cent., besides the State having to pay all costs of collection, or the receiver’s and collector’s commissions, which it did not do before. It is true, that this Act of 1856 did increase the tax on foreign bank capital, by requiring its agents to give into the Tax Receiver, thereby laying it lia ble to a county tax, and in this way, in Muscogee county, foreign banks have been required to pay 75 to 100 per cent, on the tax of former years— still it seems clear to my mind that they do not pay the State *by 25 per cent, as much as the State banks—rating three months business of a foreign bank agency equal to the capital stock paid in of the State banks—the latter paying in to the treasury, free of cost to the State 39 cents on the SIOO, while the former pays but 29.25 on the $100; and the State paying Receivers’ and Collectors’ commissions. If, therefore it be the desire of the representatives of the people to raise a revenue from the operations of foreign bank agencies in this State, and not drive them from the State, I would suggest the repeal of the Act of 1856, and the re-enactment of the former, or the enactment of a similar law, with a heavy pen alty annexed for a failure on the part of said agents to make a return to the State treasury— one half to the informer.— Comptroller General's Report. The Condition of the English Laborer. According to some of the British journral, the condition of a large portion of the English laborers is truly deplorable. They can, with great difficulty, earn the means of subsistence, while their social comforts are few and far be tween. Various efforts have been made to pro duce a change, but thus far with little success.— The Northern “Times,” published at Liverpool, takes up the subject in detail, and in the course of a sympathetic article, says : “We boast of our abhorrance of negro slavery ; we romance, we moralise, and we actually weep over the tales of African suffering, but we cannot afford a passing thought for the millions of white slaves who constitute the masses of our laboring population. What are these in reality but mere animated machines ?—employed only because it has not been possible, as yet, to discover others to supersede them. As their employment has been the result of necessity, and not of choice, the great object of the employer has been to tax the physical endurance of the employed to its utmost limits, and reduce the rate of remuneration to the lowest minimum. Unfortunately, the fierce com petition of trade, and the unusually overcrowded state of the labor market, combined to render this state of things apparently inevitable. This is, indeed, a lameutable picture. But the case is similar, we fear, to a very considerable ex tent, in other portions of the world, and even in this country. There are few araoug the laboring classes, however economical and industrious, who even secure more than a living for themselves and families. Their lot is one of excessive toil.— Those who are skilled in some particular art or craft, can of course do better. But the mere la borer, even in his best condition, has a hard task before him. There is, moreover, too little sympa thy felt for this particular class. Their ants, their enjoyments, their recreations, are rarely con sidered. They are regarded as mere hewers of wood and drawers of water, and arc treated accor dingly. How rarely, indeed, do we hear of any. movement intended to elevate the social condition or extend the social enjoyments of the merely working classes ? Even philathropy seems to look upon them with indifference or contempt.— But this should not be. There is a reason for all things, and due consideration should be felt for every member of the human family.” The State Fair. The Atlanta Intelligencer of Friday says: “The crowd in attendance upon the Agricul tural Fair on yesterday was larger than on any previous day. The orator selected to deliver the annual address, having failed to attend, Mr. Chas. Wallace Howard, of Cass, consented to make a few remarks. He offered a resolution to the effect, “that a Committee be appointed to memorialise the Legislature, to establish an Agricultural Col lege with an experimental Farm attached.” The speaker presented, in a very forcible light, the de fects in our system of education, as regards that sort of instruction which qualifies a young man for the practical duties of the agricultural profes sion. Gen. Harrison, of Chatham, remarked that this was a subject in which every man, woman and child, in the State, had an interest, and pro pounded that the whole audience should vote on the question. The vote was taken, and the reso lution was unanimously adopted. We omitted to notice that at the organization of the Society, preparatory to the transaction of business, on mo tion of Col. Wm. T. Wilson, of Atlanta, Hon. D. W. Lewis, of Hancock, was chosen President ot the Society; General Harrison, of Chatham, Ist Vice-President, and Gov. Joseph E. Brown, 2d Vice-President. Flowing by Steam. The “iron horse” seems to be gradually claim ing the attention of farmers, for the purpose of tilling the soil. The State Board of Agriculture in Illinois has offered a premium of $5,000, for the best steam plow; and a trial for this prize is to take place at Grand Prairie, some time this month. Three plows are entered for competition, and one has already made its appearance in the Prairie State. This is that of Mr. Wm. Favvks, of Chris tiana, Ala., built on the Loomolive principle, and capable of turning six deep furrows at one oper ation. It was tried at the State Fair, held at Centralia (111.,) on the 16th ult., and gave very general satisfaction. The Royal Agricultural Society of England has recently awarded a prize of $2,500 to Mr. 11. Fowler, for the most efficient steam plow. It has a stationary engine, usiug warping ropes to drag the shares through the furrows. Mr. Mechi, the celebrated English farmer, uses one of these Jplows, and its cultivation of the soil is very superior— the yield of wheat having been increased eight bushels per acre by its use. There are twenty tenant farmers in England who now cultivate with steam, and the saving is about one-fourth of the cost, in comparison with horses. Where fuel is abundant and cheap, we have no doubt that in twenty years hence, steam plows will be in com mon use in our great Western prairies.—Scienti fic American. Emigration to Central America. Since the seizure and return of Gen. Walker and his associates in arms to the United States, hy Com. Paulding, of our national navy, the enter prise for the Americanization of Nicaragua, by emi gration from this country, has been looked upon by many as abandoned —as hopeless. This, how ever, is not the case, if all we hear in regard to its renewal be true. It seems that the position as sumed by Gen. Cass, Secretary of State, in his in structions to Gen. Lamar, Minister to Nicaragua, in to the transit route through that country, has paved the way for a renewal of the emigration enterprise. Let this route be opened and kept open and emigration will soon establish an influence over the affairs of Nicaragua, and fi nally lead to its Americanization. The closing of this route is what, in fact, defeated Gen. Walker. We are assured by those whom we consider reliable authority, that the firm belief in the intention of our Government to maintain the position it has assumed, has revived the en terprise under the most favorable auspices, on a new plan, with ample means and arrangements to insure success. As an evidence of this, we see it announced that a vessel will leave Mobile on the 10th of next month, for San Juan del Norte, and that she will carry those wishing to emigrate to Nicaragua, who are advised to send in their names in order that their passage may be engaged, and be in Mobile two or three days before the day of departure. And we have seen it stated in several quarters that boats and steamers for the river San Juan and Lake Nicaragua bad already gone down to Greytown; that the Hermann had been sent round to the Pacific side to ply between San Juan del Sur and San Francisco; and that two steam ers had been purchased from the Collins line to ply between Greytown and our ports. We are led to believe there is something in all this; and to judge from what we have heard and seen, we would say that one vessel can’t he sufficient to carry all who desire to be the pioneers of the en terprise from this section, notwithstanding the shortness of the notice given.— New Orleans Cres cent. Advertising. —l have always considered ad vertising, liberally and long, to be the great medi um of success in business, and prelude to wealth. And I have made it an invariable rule, too, to ad vertise, in the dullest times, long experience hav ing taught me that money thus spent is well laid out; as by keeping my business continually before the public, it has secured me many sales that I would otherwise have lost. — Stephen Girard. Some people, however, by their conduct, appear to think that Stephen Girard didn’t know how- to make a fortune, and think “there’s no use putting everything into the papers;” that their stores are enough known already; and these people will continue to jog along at a snail’s pace, and are soon distanced by their competitors. There is skill in advertising as in everything else. Adver tisements should be changed often, and their phra seology altered, or they will be considered as out of date. This is tho age of lightning and steam presses. Sleepers must wake up, or they will be left behind.— N. O. Bulletin. llealtii of the City.— lt will be seen by the report of the Board of Health that there was only one interment yesterday. There are still a few cases of fever existing, but we are assured that the sickness has very greatly diminished within the last week. The prospect at present is in fa vor of a speedy disappearance of the fever, and the re-establishment of the general health of the city. It will be observed by those who have taken the pains to examine the reports of interments during the past six weeks, that the mortality has been chiefly confined to unacclimated persons, that very few natives or old residents have died of the prevailing fever, which has been of the mildest type. We feel no apprehension of its in crease, and consider our resident population now here safer than they would be in the country. It is, however, perhaps too early for absentees or un acclimated persons to come to the city. In a few days we confidently expect to be able to invite them to come with perfect safety. —Savannah Xews. The Blossoms. Fair pledges of a faruitful tree, Why do you fall so fast?

It will be seen from the minutes of a meesing of the Executive Board, elsewhere published, that about three thousand dollars are needed to com plete the cost of constructing the Chapel to the Female College, for which an appeal is to be made to the citizens of Macon. It is a small sum among so many, and ought to be raised without difficul ty. Considered in a mere pecuniary point of view, the Wesleyan Female College is no small contrib utor to the business and prosperity of Macon. It adds considerably to our resident population and creates a demand which otherwise would have no existence. The College will, therefore, amply re turn to the business population of Macon all they invest in it. Upon other classes it has equal | claims. Its influence is, no doubt, felt in eleva ting our social tone—increasing the social attrac tions and enjoyments of the place—sustaining and improving its character abroad. Its buildings, crowning that beautiful hill, are a fine public adornment, and the fact of its unrivalled success and reputation as a Female College—the first es tablished institution of the kind in the world—is itself a laurel for Macon. Looking then, at every thing but the most important thing—the main ob ject of the College—the moral and intellectual training of our daughters—surely it is short sighted policy in our people to withhold any reasonable aid to its increased prosperity and usefulness, and we cannot apprehend such a re sult.

HAVING purchased land in the West, I now offer lor sale both my plantations, lying 0 n the North Cowikee Creek. The place on which I now reside, known as the Barnalvey Plantation contains 2,475 acres, with a large proportion of fresh and Hammock land. Tib re are on the plan tation 1,400 -acres cleared, and in aline state of cultivation, thoroughly drained, with a large num ber ot well located ditches. Tlte dwelling is commodious, having 6 large rooms, Deatly finish ed,aud is situated within the corporate limits of Glennville, convenient to the Colleges and Churches. ’I ho out houses are in good repair and sufficient for the accommodation of 100 negroes. On th\s place, are two new gin houses, one of which is propelled by water power, to which is attached a grist mill, all in good order. Lying broadside tltis place is ntv other planta tion, recently owned by Col. W. ll* Owens, con taining 901 acres. The dwelling, out*houses, gig house and screw are all new and well finished, and equally convenient to Glennville. Being de-’ termined to sell, 1 would not object to dividing my lands to suit purchasers. To those acquainted with these lauds 1 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. Glennville is noted for the morality, intelligence and refinement of its citizens. It is situated 12 miles from the Mobile and Girard Railroad, f> miles from Jernig&n, a steamboat landing on tho Chattahoochie river, and 16 miles from Eufattla, to which point the South-Western Railroad of Georgia will soon bo completed. For further par ticulars, address me at Glennville, Alabama. P.S. As 1 am axiousho carry out my plans west I propose if 1 can find a purchaser tor ihe above named lands, to let them go at the low price of twelve dollars and a half per acre, cash. And if not sold before Saturday the twentieth of November next, 1 will have them divided into two or more tracts by a survey, and oiler them on that day at public outcry to tho highest bidder. Land buyers might do well to examine the lands before buying elsewhere. H. BASS. Oct 22,1858. d&wtf NOW OPENING. AT DILLINGHAM & DENSONS FURNITURE STORE, A LARGE STOCK OF CARPETINGS.
