Post-Office Change.
Mr. R. C. Forsyth, who has faithfully dischar
ped the duties of Postmaster in this City during
Gen Pierce’s and the past portion of Mr. Buchan
an’s Administration, has resigned that office.—
His friends will learn with regret that this step
has been taken by him in contemplation of a re
moval from their midst. The vacancy has been
filled by the appointment of Dr. Henry M. Jeter,
The responsibility of the office could not have beens
devolved upon a more competent- and worthy
gentleman.
Thk Atlantic Caulk. —The late electrician
to the Atlantic Telegraph Company. Mr. White
house. has felt himself compelled to come forward
and offer his services again to the undertaking.—
He does this from a feeling of duty, as being so
largely identified with the inception of the pro
ject ; and also because be is convinced that the
cable is readily recoverable. He therefore asked
permission to make the necessary examination,
and if that should be satisfactory to his judge
ment, he offers to re-open communications with
Newfoundland at his own risk, and to maintain it
open at a moderate percentage on the receipts.
Women betting on a Prize Fight.— lt is said
that the wife of Morrissey, who is the daughter of
a wealthy man in Troy, won $2,000 on the result
of the fight with Heenan, and his father-in-law
won SBO,OOO. In view of this fact, the Boston
Traveller wants to know if New \ork is not a
great State, and whether it does not speak well
for the morals of a community when a woman
stakes money on the probabilities of her husband
being able to pound and beat another man till he
is hammered to a jelly. Whereupon the New
York Express asks if it is any worse fora woman
to hot on a prize fight than to bet on elections,
figure in free love conventions, walk the streets iu
masculine apparel, fce., as sometimes happens in
New England.
France.—The imports and exports of France,
for the year 1857 amounted in the aggregate to
ten hundred and sixty-five millions of dollars. In
1847, ten years ago, under the government of
Louis Philippe, they amounted only to four hun
dred and sixty-eight millions. The increase has
been livo hundred and ninety-seven millions, or
one hundred and twenty-eight per cent: The in
crease in population lias been small. The ad
vaneo inado by Franco is perfectly astonishing.
Her foreign trade lias quadrupled in the ton
year’s of Napoleon’s reign. During the seven
teen years of Louis Philippe’s reign it only trebl
ed. French commerce, which, a few years ago,
was far behind ours, now considerably exceeds
it in value. Our foreign imports and exports in
1857 were only eight hundred and twenty-three
millions of dollars. This French precedence of
us, after we had long ranked next to Great Brit
ain in trade, is not very flattering to our national
prjde. Her commerce, however, is carried on
largely in foreign ships. The tonnage of the
United States is three times larger than hers.

Extraordinary Memory of Shi el. the Irish Orator.
Shiel, the celebrated Irish orator, was endowed
with an extraordinary verbal memory. His mode
of preparing bis speeches was altogether singular.
In the O’Connell cnae in 1543 he recited his speech
to the London reporters beforehand. “Great was 1
the disappointment of the reporters,” says his bi
ographer, “at being told that, although lie had the
speech in his head, nothing but a few memoranda
existed on paper. Far greater was their surprise
when he undertook to speak it for them by antici
pation. With his hands wrapped in flannel, he
kept slowly moving up and down the room, repea
ting with great rapidity, and occasionally’ with
hi 6 wonted vehemence of intonation, passage af
ter passage, and paragraph after paragraph ; then,
wearied with the strange and irksome effort, he
would lay himself down upon a sofa, and, after a
short pause, recommence his expostulation with
the jury, his allusions to the bench, and his sar
castic apostrophes to the counsel for the Crown.
On he went, with but brief interruptions, and few
pauses to correct or alter, until the whole was
finished, and had been accurately noted down.
ntten out with care, it was sent to the printer
and, at the moment when he arose to speak in
©urt, printed copies were In the hands of those
who had faithfully rendered his ideas previously.
As he proceeded, they wore thus enabled to mark
easily and rapidly any slight variations of phrase
ology ; but these, for the most part, were so few
and trivial as to cause little delay’ in the correc
tion of the proofs.
Georgia Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Saturday Morning Nov. 13, 1858.
The House met pursuant to adjournment, and
a motion was made to reconsider so much of yes
terday's Journal as related to the resolution re
questing the Governor to furnish certain inform
ation in relation to the Western and Atlantic Rail
Road.
Messrs. Bigham andMilledge were strongly in
favor of reconsideration, to jwhich Mr. Huffman
was opposed. The motion, however, prevailed.
An hour or more was taken up, in the reconside
ration of a private bill, which passed at last. To
the indomitable pereeverence of Mr. Mintz of
Jackson, Mr. Wilhite is indebted for this.
The unfinished business of the previous day
that is the Macon and Brunswick Railroad bill,
was taken up, the Report, with the several amend
ments of yesterday were agreed to.
Mr. Harris of Glynn, desired to make a remark
before the passage of the bill. We were ready, he
said, to sink or swim, live or die on this bill, and
were bound to carry’ it. through, and stand by it
like the Spartan band at Thermopolse, and so sure
was he that the project would prove profitable
tliut he was willing to accept the bill with all its
restrictions.
Mr. Bigham: This is a question of principle;
it was inagurating a great principle. Though it
came not in the same form as last winter the prin
ciple was the same.
Mr. Walker of Henry: The gentleman from
Troup says we are on a raft again. I differ with
him there. My motto is to live not for myself
alone but for my neighbors. My God has blessed
me with more than I ever expected to have or ev
er prayed for. I have lived economically’, and
now 1 can enjoy’ myself. lam as happy as any
body else is. Georgia is my neighbor, and this
road will pass through many lots of land which
will increase their value. People would go there
and become rich, and for this reason I will vote
for the bill.!
Mr. Bigham: The gentleman from Glynn has
said he was willing to accept the bill with its re
strictions. Look at your sister State who has
given State aid. Leave the question of State aid
to the people, the bone and sinew of the land.—
You propose to put a debt, not upon yourselves
but upon posterity. $200,000 is the amout of
debt you will put upon the State, and you propose
to pay that amount with the nett earnings of your
road. Ilow can it be so? The idea is preposterous.
Your first bonds wil become due in twenty years.
In 33 years a race of men becomes extinct. If it
is difficult to provide for the present, how much
more so for the future? I ask my Southern Rights
friends if they are willing to put tho State into
such a position as to cramp her resources. Look
at the position of the country. What would be
the condition of the State in case of a war? He
concluded with an amendment wishing to recom
mit the bill, and refer the question of State aid to
the people.
Mr. Hardeman of Bibb, hoped tho amendment
would not pass. We are the representatives of
the people, and if we arc not disposed to take the
responsibility of passing bills, we had better go
home and let them send others. The gentleman
last year hadjjealled it a raft, and now he wished
them to vote for it, raft or no raft.
Mr. Harris of Glynn: If I understand the
motion of the gentleman from Troup, he wishes
tho House to avoid the responsibilty, and refer the
question to the people. It may be said that I
seek to stifle the voice of the people. Tho voice
of the people has reverberated from the mountains
to the seaboard; had carried H. V. Johnson into
the Executive Chair, aud kept Joseph E. Brown
there. In 1855—’6, tho question had been be
fore the people, before the House, before Govern
or Johnson, than whom there does uot exist a
more elevated mind, or more perfect gentleman;
in short there does not live South of Mason and
Dixon’s line, a man so eminently qualified as a
statesman. Was not the gentleman from Troup
in favor of selling the Western & Atlantic Rail
road, and devoting the proceeds of the sale to aid
in the construction of other Railroad enterprises?
Members say that if the Stato can be secured un
der this bill, they will vote for its passags. Is
there anything in the bill which will commend it
self to the favor of the State? It is said that the
road will pass through a sterile country; the 12
counties through which the road will pass pay
1-10 of the tax of the State. They containsso,-
000,000 worth of property’. It is wise, it is prop
er to aid them: and instead of $50,000,000 it would
be increased to $500,000,000. Do I indulge in a
visionary dream? Wo are faithful to our State,
true to our section, when we ask for State aid.—
Cherokee Georgia, before aided by T the State with
the Western and Atlantic Railroad, was the dwell
ing of Indians, bears and wolves; and now, is it
not the garden spot of the South? We come to
Cherokee Georgia, and like Peter, walking on the
water, cry “Help.” Shall this cry be unheeded?
Railroads’ will invite emigration and retain our
sons upon the the soil where the bones of our rev
olutionary fathers repose. The port of Brunswick
is the best port on the Southern Atlantic. The
waters upon which Oglethorpe first looked—tho. 3
same waters —smile still as tranquilly under the
beams of the moon as they did then. It would be
come the granary of the world, and wc could then
dictate to them who now dictate to us.
I have always been a Southern Rights man,
and this is a Southern measure. Yes, sir, a Geor
gia measure. Where is the cotton from this sec
tion shipped; to Charleston. When great outlets
of trade are opened, no port but Brunswick can
sustain the teeming fleets. I stand upon the soil
of Georgia, aud may the day’ come when she may
depend upon no port, North or South to carry’ on
her commerce. I propose to rise in the might of
our strength and tell our oppressors their reign is
over. Ido not believe there is a representative
on this floor, should our soil be invaded,but would
gird on his sword and leaj) as lightly to the con
test as Jhe bridegroom to his chamber. But to
day’ I invite you to no such feast; this is a peacea
ble measure of dollars and cents.
Mr. Findlay of Lumpkin: It is now a good
time to give in my r experience—a better time than
when 1 was converted. The gentleman says he
is a Southern Rights man. lam proud to say I
am a Union man. I never expect to be a candi
date again. lam just as willing to vote to aid
Southern as Upper Georgia, I represent the
mountains but I shall vote it.
The bill was passed, ayes 71, nays 68.
Interesting Scrap of History.
The following interesting narrative is copied
from the Vicksburg True Southron of the 19th,
having been furnished by an intelligent Raymond
(Miss.) contributor. The story is well told, and
is no doubt authentic :
A Scrap of History for the True Southron. —
It is often remembered that truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction, and it is even thus in the
story following, and which is so well authentica
ted that it is woven in the history of our country.
In the year 1674, two brothers of Oliver Cromwell
left England for America, and settled in Wood
bridge, New Jersey. Thence they removed and
settled in Halifax county, North Carolina. Their
names were John and Edward Cromwell, and
they and their ancestors were originally called
Cromwell. They fled from England to seek an
asylum in America, from the political storms that
then Impended over the name and house of the
Protector. While on their voyage to this country,
being apprehensive that persecution would follow
them from the adherents of Charles 11, then on
the throne of England, they determined to change
their name: which was done with much solemn
ceremony, by writing their name each on paper,
and each cutting from the paper the letter M and
casting it into the sea.
The tarnily pedigree on parchment recording
these facte, with many others relating to the fam
ily, was with them in North Carolina in an orna
mental chest with other things of value, when a
party of Tarleton’s Legion, in 1780, marauding
through that portion of Carolina, seized the chest
and carried it off. These facts are undoubted.
From the memory of the family the record was
again mad# up and is still preeerred among then.
In the calm retreats of Carolina, the proud aspir
ing blood of Cromwell found repose. The furious
political billows of Old England tossed them on
our pure and shores. It is said that these
brothers had no participation in the political dis
turbance of their country, or the bloody work of
their brother ; and in the peaceful and quiet shade
of Halifax county, far from political strifo and
bloodshed, they sat securely under their own
“vine and fig tree.” Truly the beautiful and ex
quisite Hues of Gray were here fully realized:
“Some mute, inglorious Milton here may rest,
Some Cromwell guitless of his country's blood.”
Edward Crowell, the son of this Edward who
emigrated from England, removed to Georgia and
married Miss Rayburn, a sister of Geo. Rayburn.
He had a large plantation on Flint river; lived in
retirement, and was a modest, unobtrusive char
acter. He had several children, among whom
was Col. John Crowell, formerly a member of
Congress from Georgia, and for several years In
dian Agent. He dwelt in a magnificent residence
at Fort Mitchell, near the Chattahoochee river,
and not distant many miles from Columbus.—
The story of their ancestors is still told in the
family, but not boastingly, for they are peaceful,
quiet people, who oppose every tendency to osten
tation. The writer of this has been often, when
a child, at the house of Col. Crowell, and never
remarked any peculiarity in the family, although
they had such a famous uncle as “Old Noll.”
Reference for these facts can bo obtained in part
from the history of North Carolina, where they
are well authenticated.
Fort Van Couvkr, W. T. \
October, Ist ISSB. )
Messrs. Editors : —Herewith I enclose extracts
j of letters received from Col. Wright’s command in
•_ the Indian country east, of Snake river.
The wav is now closed, peace aud security are
again restored to this country.
It is now to be hoped that such a course of pol
icy may be adopted towards the ludians as may
for the future insure peace between them and the
whites. The Indiana now conquered, and deeply’
impressed with tao utter hopelessness of contending
with us in war, are receive such im
pressions an i assume such position as our govern
ment may in its policy assign them. What that
policy should be, I think there can be very little
doubt about.
The effect of money annuities upon the Indian
character, in the judgment of those best informed
on the subject, has proved to be decidedly corrup
ting and injurious.
The establishment of schools, the erection of
grist and saw-mills, the distribution of seeds, ag
ricultural and mechanical tools and implements,
and the encouragement of husbandry and the me
chanic arts, judiciously and properly directed,
would be productive of more real good to them as
a people than one hundred times the same amount
paid to them in money.
But to effect any good results, from efforts of
any kind with the Indian, you must exclude him
from general intercourse with the white man,
only so far as might be necessary’ to have a su
pervision over him, and impart the requisite in
struction.
To the prompt and energetic action, the com
plete, and perfect appointments and organization,
the clear, decided, and unmistakeable course of
policy, marked out and adopted, by Brigadier
Gen. Clarke and the energetic and judicious exe
cution of his plans and purposes, by’ the officers
especially charged therewith, are due, the suc
cessful and happy termination of a war which at
one time threatened to be of the most serious and
troblesome character. Honor, to whom honor is
due.

Extract of a letter from an officer under Col.
Wright's Command, in the Spokan Expedition.
Camp near Steptoe’s battle ground, )
September 23d, 1858. j
“On the 17th inst., a council was held with the
Coucr-de-Lenes, their head chief Vincent, opened
the Council by rising and saying, ‘My people have
committed a great crime; we are fully conscious
of it now; and are deeply forry for it. I and my
people are rejoiced that you are willing to forgive
us for it.’
Col. Wright replied : Couer de Lenes, as your
Chief has said you have committed a great crime;
y T ou attacked Col. Step toe when ho was marching
peacefully through your country, and you slew
some of his people. It has made angry your
great father, and I have been sent to punish you ;
but you ask for peace, and you shall have it, on
certain conditions; the great spirit hears me.
You sec that you contend against us hopelessly;
I have a great many soldiers ; there are as many
more at Walla-Walla, and I am expecting a large
number from Salt Lake ; what can you do against
us ? I can place my soldiers on your camas plains,
at y’our fishing grounds, and in the mountains
where you catch game and gather berries, and
your helpless families cannot run away.
These are the conditions on which you shall
have peace : You must deliver to me the young
men who struck the first blow in the affair with
Col. Stcptoe, I will take them to the General.—
You must deliver to me one of your chiefs and four
of your men with their families, I will take them
to Walla-Walla as security for your good conduct
hereafter. You must deliver to me all the proper
ty of every kind taken at the fight with Col. Step
toe. You must allow all troops and all other white
men to pass at all times unmolested through your
couutry. You must not allow any hostile Indians
to come into your country’, and you must not en
gage in any hostilities against white men ; be
sides 4 yeu must be at peace with the Nes l’erces.
On these conditions you can have peace. I will
withdraw from your country, and you can have
peace forever.
Vincent said he wished to hear the Nes Perces
speak. U-chi-ma-li-kin, their Chief said;
You behold me before you, I will lay my heart
open to y’ou: I desire that there shall be peace
between us. I will never go to war with you nor
against any’ of tho friends of the white man.
Vincint replied : It does my heart good and
makes all my people glad to have you speak so, I
have ever desired peace between us. There shall
never be war between us, nor between us aud the
white man.
Tho pipe of peace was then smoked all round.
The conditions were promptly complied with,
and we have with us four of the young braves,
and a chief and four men with their families as
hostages.”
Extract of a Letter. Still Later.
Camp on Lah-Too Creek,
Near Steptoes’ Battle-ground, Sept. 25.
We are now on our return to Walla-walla, we
have been here three days waiting for the Indians
to come in. Col. Wright has made peace with the
Spokans, Couer-de-’Lenes and Pow-de-’Orielles.
The Palause’s have not come in yet.
We have three of them in irons, and Col. Wright
has sent word to their people “if they don't come
in before he crosses Snake river he will hang
them.” The Couer-d-’Lenes send with Colonel
Wright one chief and four men, with their families
as hostages. The Spokans do the same. The
hostages are to remain at Walla-walla one y’ear.
Day before yesterday Owhi earae in to make
peace, he was confined, and word sent to Qual
chin, (his son) if he did not come in his Father
would be hung. Qual-chin came in yesterday at
8 o’clock and was hung at 84£ o’clock, (he did not
receive the message sent by Col. Wright,) he beg
ged hard for his life. The last words he said, were
“G—dd—m.” Cami~a-kin. We have nine In
dian prisoners in camp. I expect two of them
will be hung to-night.
We have recovered the two howitzers, (lost by
Col. Stcptoe,) also the remains of Capt. Taylor and
L.eut, Gaston, together with some others.

it is quite dry the wood should be varnished and
afterwards polished. A varnish made with drag

or three coats will make a. very good imitation of
mahogany. When dry it should be rubbed down

RICHARDSON’S
IRISH LIHSTCEITS,
DAMASKS, DIAPERS &c.
CONSUMERS of Richardson’s Linens, and those de
sirous of obtaining the GENUINE GOODS,should
see that the articles they purchase are sealed with the
full name of the firm,
as a guarantee of the soundness and durability of the
Goods.
This caution is rendered essentially necessary, as
large quantities of inferior and defective Linens are
prepared, season after season, and sealed with the
name of RICHARDSON, by Irish Houses, who,
regardless of the injury thus inflicted alike on the Ame
rican consumer and the manufacturers of the genuine
goods, will not readily abandon a business so profitable
while purchasers can he imposed on with goods of a
worthless character.

TIIE GORDY GRAPE.~
delicious and valuable table Grape was first
-1 brought to notice two years ago by Mr. L. Gordy
of this county. Those who have seen this Grape are
willing to testify in its favor. To those who are unac
quainted with it we refer the following testimonial:
Columbus, Ga., October 185s.
MR. L. GORDY —Dear Sir:
W'e the undersigned have seen and eaten of your
delicious native Grape, and it affords us much pleasure
to state, that we think we have never seen a Grape
that would compare with it in excellence aa a prolific
bearer, the size of its fruit and bunches, and their une
qualled flavor.
We hope that you may have astockof growingvines
of this valuable Grape sufficient to supply the large de
mand you will have for them.
We recommend those of our friends who wish to
raise the Grape, by all means to purchase vines of you,
as your Grape is, in our opinion, less liable to rot, and
ripens more uniformly than any other variety that we
have seen. [Signed by]

WILLIAMS’
PICTURE ALLERY IN FULL BLAST.
THE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co
lumbus. and in fact to al 1 Georgia, that he is now
taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken
in the ’-Empire State,” either by a foreign or nattre ar
tist. His prices range from that much ° despised sum
fifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not
pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United
States, yet he fears not the result of a comDarison with
those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver
tisements and puffs of their own manufacture. He
prefers that ladies and gentlemen should judge for
themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture
will call and give him a trial, he will convince them
that he fully understands the modus operandi of picture
taking. All he wants is a fair and impartial trial, and
he fears no competition from any quarter.
His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store, Broad Street,
where he will be happy to receive visitors and show
them his specimens at all timet*.
