COLUMBUS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER ‘23, 1858. Special Order—ln the Senate. To-day, by appointment, the Senate will con sider the bill to strikeout so much of the 11th Section of the 4th art. of the Constitution as related to the importation of slaves. We hope the bill will pass, not because we are in favor of reopen ing the African slave trade, (it is impossible that any action of our Legislature can have that ef fect) but because it would be a public declaration to the world, by this common wealth, that the slave trade is not immoral. The only effect of allowing the clause to remain, now that the question has been mooted, would be to create the impression that Georgia discredits the morality of slavery. Let it be expunged. Excitement In Mobile. Mobile, Nov. 20.—This city was in a state of great excitement, yesterday, on account of the de tention of the Nicaragua emigrants, so called. A portion of the recruits, about 400 in number, sur rounded Julius Hesse and demanded immediate transportation, or the money which had been paid for their passage. Deputy Collector, Gen. Smith, interposed and stated that he was confident of receiving instructions trom W ashington on Sat .Ufday... XM.fte WlLtllf gl '* ll Con. Henry R. Jackson. We learn from the Daily Federal Union that this distinguished Georgian was to address the Democratic party, in the Hall of the House of Representatives, last night. The announcement excited in us the desire to be present, and we en vied our friends in Milledgeville, for the pleasure of listening to that polished gentleman, finished orator and accomplished scholar. Mr. Jackson is one of the purest and most chivalric spirits in our State. Death of Col. Samuel S. Sibley. The Savannah papers announce the death, in that city on the 18th inst,, of Col. Samuel S. Sib ley, who, for a long time, has been connected with the press of Georgia and Florida. Van Marcus gives notice that he will closo his doors at 10, A. M., on thanksgiving day. This is a move in the right direction, and we com mend it for imitation to our citizens generally. Hon. John Forsyth, late 3/inister to Mexico, is on a visit to New Orleans, and stopping for a day or two at the St. Charles Hotel. Mr. Forsyth, immediately after returning to Mobile, will proceed to Washington, whither h e has been summoned in order to confer with the Gov ernment on Mexican affairs, in regard to which his experience of Mexicans and knowledge of Mexico will be of invaluable service.— X. 0. Picayune. J #9ET'The London Times, speaking of the wretch ed condition of Mexico, says that there is no rea son why England should oppose the ambitious de signs of the government at Washington. It con siders that the establishment of any government of law and order in Mexico would be a gain. It also ridicules the Spanish Expedition as farcical, and contends that every gun fired on Mexican territory is fired to the ultimate profit of the great Anglo-Saxon Northern confederacy. Tuesday and Friday at the Milledgeville Hotel. —Our friend Brown has a pleasant re union at his house on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week. The young and the gayjjave every facility offered for their enjoyment. Brown does do the thing up Broicn this session and no mistake. — Fed. Union. #S©*‘The Mobile papers are discussing whether to-morrow is Sunday or will be Sunday. The Southern Literary Messenger for November has been received, containing its usual amount of interesting matter. The Messenger is a Southern publication, and has long and justly been distinguished for the ability and taste dis played in its management. Messrs. MACFAR LANE, FERGUSON & CO., Richmond, Va., are the proprietors. Knoxville Citizen, of the 18th inst., says: “This week’s Southern Citizen is the last one that will be mailed at Knoxville. The next number will be dated and published at Washing ton. Readers will, we are sure, excuse us, if we are obliged to intermit one week, though our hope and intention was to not lose a single week’s publication. It is probable, then, that the next number will issue on Saturday, the 4th of De cember, immediately before the meeting of Con gress.” Js&"The returns from New York have been officially published. Since 1866 the Democrats have gained 33,000 on the popular vote. The Re r publican loss is 30,000, the American loss 64,000. In 1356 tHe Republican vote was 81,000 over the Democratic. In 1858 it is but 17,000. Shoe Making in Massachusetts. —The Port land Advertiser, says: That one man in every eight in Massachusetts is a shoemaker. In Lynn. 5,000 persons are em ployed in shoe making, and the sales in 1857 amounted to $4,000,000. In Boston, there are2l3 firms engaged in the trade, doing business to the amount of $52,000,000. In New York there are only 55 houses. m • The Pennsylvanian, of Wednesday last, says : “We perform an exceedingly pleasant duty this morning in congratulating the citizens of Philadelphia upon the fact that the last rail has been laid on the great chain of railroad between this city and Chicago—a distance of eight hun dred and twenty-four miles !—and that the ears will regularly run over its entire length from and after the 29th inst.” The Synod ok Georgia.— Quite a number of delegates to this body reached the city yesterday, aud in the evening religious services—conducted by the Rev. Dr. Higgins, of Columbus—were held in the First Presbyterian Church. V e understand that there will be a morning and an afternoon ser vice at the same church, to-day, and that the Sy nod will be organised this evening.— Aug. Consti tutionalist, I9t/i inst. New Baptist Paper.— A new Baptist paper it sooner to be started at Nashville, Tennessee< to be under tho management of the Rev. R. B. C. Howell and friend*. communicated. Thanksgiving Day. Thursday next has been appointed by the .Chief Fxecutive of the State, as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God for the mercies whieh He has continued unto us, and the blessings which He has granted unto us through the year that is past. Should we not pause and ask ourselves for how much we have to be thankful to the Giver of ‘ all good ? Most abundantly has His mercy and ! bounty been poured forth toward us. Asa com munity, we have enjoyed, in a greater measure than ever before, the blessings of health—pros perity has smiled upon all the branches of our business—the seasons have been propitious and the harvests abundant. The cause of Religion has made a great stride in our midst—the power of Gospel truth has been felt amongst us during the present year, as was never known here be fore. Oh! how many Christian hearts have been made glad this year, by the harvest of souls, saved by the grace of God,* from eternal death ? Who does not see the goodness and mercy of Provi dence in it all ? On Thursday the churches of our city will be open for worship. Let us then, of every grade—Professions, Merchants, Editors, Clerks, Mechanics, Laborers, all of every class—■ rich and poor, unite together on the common level of the Sanctuary aud worship at the altar of the Living God. Let us cease, if only for one hour, from the toil and struggle arid care of busi ness, and go up with humble and grateful hearts and pour forth our thanks aud praise to Him, who has been so mindful of us, aud implore the continuance of His love and protection over us. w .s £ ’BrJoaVAis Creator and Preserver, aud for once, let us make that day an occasion for the public and universal exercise of this great and holy purpose of our ex istence. LAYMAN. We are permitted to make the following ex tract from a letter written by our old friend, Maj. Ragan, to a connexion in this State. Fort Vancower, W, T. The war is closed, and all apprehensions of danger from Indians are now removed, on any route my duty calls me travel; the Indians have had the most awful scare of any poor wretches I ever saw in my life; this thing of the Bostons having (Sharp’s Carbines and Rifles) that kill men at four to six hundred yards, is something to them they cannot understand, and they now pray to them only to spare them; besides, killing all their horses and destroying their houses and pro visions, was a blow they never dreamed of. Ex tensive preparations are making to furnish quar ters here this winter, for the large additional forces, and many officers will be compelled to go into camp and the arsenal for quarters. The scenery in the Garrison, is picturesque, beautiful, baffling discription. Since the rains and sun have brought out vegetation, and clothed in verdur the campus, the plain and the mountain-side, the scenery in perspective changes, and presents new lights, shades, figures and beauties every hour in the day; the effect is wonderful, sublime, beauti ful, and if this place was only in Georgia or in some other white settlements, what a paradise it would be; the tall grass was mown down for hay and now the clover covers the whole parade, is in full bloom, but there are no bees gathering honey. IV ho ever saw a clover field and no bees in it,before? it is like having money and no chance to spend it, or a good dinner without a desert, who’d care for such a thing ? The remains of Capt. Taylor and Lieut Gaston, have been recovered, and will be brought iu for in terment, and probably sent home to their friends, also those of Capt, White, the husband of your friend a*d traveling companion to and from San Francisco. [Signed] A. B. RAGAN. MILLEDGEVILLE CORRESPONDENCE. Milledgeville, Nor. 19th 1858. Messrs. Editors : The Supreme Court hills will bo up in both Houses of the General Assembly next week.— There are many legislators here, w T ho have been prejudiced against the Court and the Judges from an erroneous statement of facts. I find that there is less feeling against the Judges than heretofore and since the appearance of Mr. John A. Jones’ letter, in which the position of Judge Benning is so fully vindicated, there has been quite a re-ac tion in public sentiment. The question of State aid to Railroads has not been discussed, since the defeat of the. Brunswick Bill. An effort will be made in the House to re-consider it. The bill in troduced by Maj. Cook of Early County meets with favor. It is to carry out the spirit and in tention of the act locating the Main Trunk road. The impression seems to be that the road, as it now runs, will benefit Florida more than it will Geor gia. and the million of dollars from the Georgia State Treasury will be exhausted in developing the resources of a sister State. A bill has passed the House of Representatives to keep open one third the channel of the Chattahoochee river, for the passage of fish, from the Florida line to the Chestete river in Hall County. Such a bill, should it pass tho Senate, will destroy the whole water power at Columbus. It is well guarded aud there is no escape from its provisions. It will doubtless be defeated in the Senate. Hon. Henry R. Jackson, ex-Minister to Austria, is present in Milledgeville and was invited to-day to a seat in the Senate. He will doubtless address I the Members of the Legislature before leaving tho j Capital. There is a gay company of young ladies here, j who add much to the interest of the session of the Legislature. Two parties are now held a week at Brown’s Hotel and beaux are numerous. C Accumulation of Specie in Bank.— The New Submarine Telegraph Project. —Boston Nov., 17. The amount of specie now in the banks of this city is very large, reaching $9,437,000. The At las Bank has given notice that it intends to apply I to the Legislature, at the next session, for permis sion to increase its capital five hundred thousand dollars. The project for anew submarine line of tele- ‘ graph to Halifax is progressing finely. Mr. Gis- ; borne sailed for the latter point this morning, for j the purpose of completing the arrangements. All ! the leading merchants and journals of this city ‘ warmly endorse the enterprise. — Accident to Gen. Twiggs. —The San Antonio (Texas) Herald states that Gen. Twiggs had a narrow escape of bis life on the 9th inst. He was standing on tho street, in conversation with some gentlemen, when a musket in the hands of a Mex ican eartman, some distance off, was accidentally discharged, the ball striking the General on the back ; but_the ball being spent in striking the ground, the only damage done was a severe bruise. Haval Intelligence. The draught water of the chartered steamers now begins to form a prominent topic of contro versy among naval people. No vessel drawing more than nine fc , tof water can reach Paraguay —so say the knowing ones. The Westernport* Caledonia, and some others of the chartered steam ers, cannot float in less than eleven feet, and the question “how can they serve us ?” is daily asked, but seldom answered. Even divested of her coal, the Westernport will draw ten feet. When talked with on this matter, the officers of the latter ves sel say that they do not calculate on passing Buenos Ayres. The United States frigate Niagara, with the captured slaves, was at St. Vincent’s on the 22d inst. Sixty negroes died on the passage. The Richmond South has an article in favor of adopting in our navy the rank of admiral.— It says : It is objected that the introduction of the rank of admiral into the naval service of the United States will be an innovation upon the simplicity of our republican forms. The same argument was ineffectually employed against the title of lieuten ant-general in the army; and we do not see why it should have greater weight iu the present in stance. On foreign stations the commanders of our squadrons are thrown into association with admi rals in the service of other Governments. Salutes must be given and received, visits made and re turned, and other professional courtesies inter changed. But the American commodore is sub jected to mortification by the inferiority of his title, while his rank in fact is substantial ly equivalent. If he admits his subordina nation, he must allow precedence to officers iu the service of the pettiest powers, and endure other indignities equally galling to his spirit aud dero gatory to the dignity of his country. Ihe asserts his equality, he is inevitably involved in a dis agreeable controversy with the foreign officer who | denies his pretension. This thing has repeatedly | bfltyYWUVrfs occasionally *ctrawn mto tlie | difficulty. We have witnessed with shame a cring | ing subserviency on the part of an American com modore to the superior claim of a British admiral. We have beheld with pride the brave resistance of another comm.-d ,re to the same pretension on the part of a French officer. It is easy to prevent these unpleasant occurren i ces. Let the . ank and title of our naval service be conformed to the rank and title of foreign servi ces. Let our officers be elevated to a professional equality with those whom they rival in gallantry and devotion.— The States, The French Slave Trade. The Paris correspondent of the London Post believes he may assert positively that the French government has resolved to put a stop to the im ! portation of “free negroes” iuto.the French colon ies—indeed he says, the plau had been abandon ed before the capture of the Charles Georges ; and “France, having, as she now considers, defended the honor of her flag, is willing to take the slave trade question again into serious consideration as a principle, and in conjunction with England, en deavor to prevent traffic in African slaves, by i finding other means of supplying labor to colon | ies where only certain races of the human family ! can work and live.” On the other hand, the Paris correspondent of j the New York Commercial Advertiser writes : “This affair will fortunately hasten the nego tiation already under wav on the subject of the African emigration system and the slave trade. The French cannot and will not abandon the emi gration system, because they have officially de clared it just, humane and inoffensive to States or policy ; but they may be induced to give guaran tees for its proper conduct, which will be satisfac tory to the protesting parties. There is no doubt whatever that, [in the organization of its system, the French government guarded every point which might become liable to the criticisms of oth er nations; or that the government in good faith believes its system to be as innocent as it claims to be: but it may be subject to abuses, and against these abuses it will be required to provide ade quate guarantees.” Army Intelligence. Dates from Utah to the 16th ult. say that Gen. Johnston went into winter quarters on the 12th, and Col. Crossman, assistant-quartermaster, on the 13th, and all the troops would go into winter quarters in about a week. A number of dragoon horses were straying off in the mountains and being lost.. Heavy rains and high winds, blowing the tents, had prevailed at Camp Floyd. Quar termasters’ stores and provisions were plenty at the camp, and no fears of short rations during the winter were entertained. The story which has been going the rounds of the press stating that Dr. G. Hurt, Indian agent, was suffering the Indian squaws to be sold as mistresses to the officers and troops at Camp Floyd, is utterly untrue and a gross slander on Dr. Hurt, as well as Gen. Johnston. The Xeio York Typographical Society—lts Early History—lts Noted Members — Judges, Members of Congress, Editors, Military Officers, d'c. —The Typographical [ Society met on Satur day evening at its rooms, 3 Chambers street. Af ter the transaction of its ordinary business, Mr. Charles McDevitt arose, remarking that that ev ening closed the fortieth year of his membership,a circumstance so unusual in regard to the members of any society that he could not let it pass in si lence. He spoke substantially as follows: Forty years ago, to-night, I became a member of the New York Typographical Society, whieh then consisted of one hundred and twenty one members, most of whom were present on that oc casion. Of that number but eight are now of the living, among whom are] Peter Force, ex-Mayor of Washington, and Thurlow Weed, the “political magician” of Albany. The Society |then held its meeting in Rosevelt street, near Chatham, but soon afterward removed to a celebrated hotel, in Fulton street, east of Broadway, kept by Mrs. Mitchell, the widow of a New York pilot. It was in this house that we commenced our library,each member bringing a few books to lay its founda tion. [The Library now contains three or four thousand volumes.] After remaining there, about ten years the Society removed to the Shakspeare, a celebrated theatricalhouse kept by Mr. Stoncall where probably we might have remained till this time, had not the building been pulled down to give place to the Sun buildings. We then remo moved to the Howard House, corner of Howard street and Broadway: thence to No. 300 Broad way and from thence to our present location. It is said that printers are, as a class, reckless and improvident. But this will not hold good in regard to the members of the Typographical So ciety. Many—l speak of regular members, not honoraries. have risen to opulence andpower.One of our members is now Chief Justice of the Su preme Court of Pennsylvania. We have also two ex-Mayors, two Aldermen, several ex-Alder men, several Judges, and two Clerks of Courts, the Comptroller of a neighboring city,](Brooklyn) several Members of Congress and State Legisla tures, one Bank and two Insurance Presidents, twenty five editors of newspapers, and a large number of employing printers in this city, as well as in other parts of the country. Among military men we have two Generals, many Colonels, one Major, a dozen Captains, seven Lieutenants, be sides a goodly number of rank and file.[Laughter.] Aud such is Mr. Buchanan's estimation of one of our members that he has given him the sole charge of the Brooklyn Navy its ships, stores, big guns and little ones. In the course of his membership he who now has the pleasure of addressing you has made over three hundred visits to sick members, has set up thirty one nights with sick and dying members, has attended the funerals of sixty one ‘members, and has been present at over three thousand mee tings of the Society. At the close of his remarks, Mr. McDevitt was much applauded, and was requested by vote to prepare, with a view to its publication, a state ment of the interesting facts to which he had re ferred.—X. Y. Evening Post. Judge Taney. —lt gives us great pleasure to see that the venerable Chief Justice of the United States is discharging, with renewed vigor, the im portant duties of his station in this city. He has been actively engaged, for the past fortnight, in the hearing of Appeals is Admiralty, prior to re* euming, in December, the labors of the Supreme j Bench. The Appeal docket, which contained ma- ‘ ny heavy causes, has been entirely disposed of, i the last being, at this moment, upon final hear- j ing. No one who appreciates judicial ability and fidelity as they deserve, can fail to be gratified at the prospect of continued usefulness, which the improved health of this eminent Magistrate holds out to the country.— Balt. Exchange. Explosion of a Metallic Coffin. A few years have served to bring into extensive use for burial purposes the now common metallic cases or eoffins, especially wherever it is desirable or necessary to delay the interment. When first introduced it was the practice to exhaust the air in these cases after the body had been put in, to secure them fully, as it was said, against change by contract with the atmosphere. For various reasons this practice has fallen into disuse, the only precautions now taken being to completely cool the remains before sealing up the case. From some neglect in this latter respect, a circumstance took place not long ago, which, originating here, is worth relating. The case, containing an adult, who had suddenly deceased while apparently in good health, was sealed up to be sent for inter ment to a neighboring State. The conveyance for half a day’s ride was by railroad, and then by wagon for thirty miles. The day was warm and the road rough, and much motion was doubtless given to the remains. The persons in charge stopped for a brief rest at a tavern, and were iu the house when they, as well as all in the vicini ty, were startled by a very loud report, and it was found the burial case had, by a rapid generation of gas, exploded with much violence, entirely blowing out the heavy French glass face plate, which it shattered into a thousand pieces. Noth ing could be done but to seek a hasty interment in the vicinity, and await the coming of cold weather to allow the removal of the remains to their destined place of burial. —Chicago Press and Tribune, _.^£0 ’ \ ery sly and‘smart is the following an ecdote, which we find unatfnbuted to antPparti cular source, in a religious journal of this city : ‘Josias Winslow was one of the early governors of the Massachusetts colony. It is said that at his funeral the Rev. Mr. itherell, of Scituatc, pray ed that ‘the governor’s son might be half equal to his father ?’ The Rev. Dr. (lad Hitchcock ob served afterward, that the ‘prayer was so very reasonable, it might have been hoped that God would grant it; but he did n’t !’— Knick-Knacks. *1 say, Square, what’ll veou take for that ’are dog o’ your’n V saida Yankee pedler to an old Dutch farmer, in the neighborhood of Lan caster. Pennsylvania : ‘what’ll yeou take for him? He ain’t a very good-lookin’ dog; but what was you cal’latin’, may-be, he’d fetch T ‘Ah!’ re sponded the Dutchman, ‘dat dog ish’nt wort’ not’ing, ’most: he ish’nt wort’ you to buy ’urn.’ ‘Guess tew dollars abeout would* git him, would n’t it?

Almost every body has heard of Wood’s Hair Restorative. That the word Restorative in this ease is no misnomer, we have the testimony of individuals whose elevated position in the country as well as their acknowledged and honorable cha racter as gentlemen, render whatever they publicly asssert in the last degree reliable. Several of these have tested, personally, the hair preparation we are now speaking of. and certify to its amazing efficacy in the most public manner possible. Their certificates can be seen at the proi>rietor\s depot, 312 Broadway, New York, and once seen and properly appreciated, we have no hesitation in saying they will impress conviction on the most skeptical mind. Wood’s Hair Restorative is, doubtless, the best article of its kind ever yet pro duced. does not dye, but gives life, health and beauty to the decaying, falling and dead, restoring as if by magic, that which was supposed to be ir recoverably lost.
