COLUMBUS, WEDNF.SDAI. NOVEMBER ‘24, 1858. Thanksgiving. Thursday, the 23th inst., being the day appoint edby the OoVcrnor, for tbauksgLmg, we propose to observe it as such, in this office, and, hence, there will be no issue of ihe Times on Friday next Council Matters. A disagreeable and unprofitable difficulty has arisen among our city fathers upon the question of receiving the new Bridge. This difficulty even tuated, on Monday night, in a vote of rejection of said Bridge by the Council, and in the passage of a resolution abolishing tolls on the lower Bridge. If matters are allowed to remain in statu quo, an annual loss to the revenue of the city, approxima ting SIO,OOO will bo the result. We have no idea, however, that this state of things will be submit ted to. Tho city is largely in debt and she can not dispense with any legitimate resource for sus taining her credit. It is unfortunate that there should exist among our people a geographical di vision of sentiment upon this or any other subject, but itasumes a practical and dangerous significance when it asserts its pre-eminence in the counsels oi those who are elected to guard and promote the interests of the whole city. Such men should leg islate without regard to the points ol the compass, and, in their official conduct, at least, should be above the influence of petty retaliations and re sentments. It is due to the high respect wo en tertain for some of the gentlemen who are respon sible for the action of the Council referred to, that we should state our conviction, they acted hastily thataudwithoutproporconsideratiun. Upon none of them would we charge the capability of perpetra ting a deliberate wrong, and we will abide in the assuranco that when they shall have had time for reflection, their better judgment will condemn tho act and counsel a revision of their resolution in regard to the tower Bridge. With respect to what action should be taken in reference to the new Bridge we are not in doubt. We take occasion here to say that we were in favor of its construc tion —in favor of the charter granting the privil ege, and we are in favor of its reception by the city, if it has been built in conformity to the char tered conditions. We are not acquainted with the conditions either of the charter or the Bridge; but it is clear that, since the construction of the latter was authorized by a vote of the citizens, it is the duty of the city to accept it, if it has been built in compliance with the provisions of the former.— Upon this question of compliance there exists an irreconcilable antagonism of opinions. How is tho difficulty to be met ? By abolishing tolls at the lower Bridge ? Certainly not. By allowing the upper Bridge to remain open and free of toll ? We say no, with equal emphasis; but by resort ing to that tribunal which is the constituted and recognized umpire in all questions of right. Let the City Council lile a bill of injunction against the corporators and close up the new Bridge. This can be done without difficulty or delay. The answer to such bill will present a case for judicial investi gation and decision, and thus, a way will be opened for a satisfactory solution of this vexed and vex ing question. This was the course recommended by our worthy Mayor, F. G. Wilkins, on Monday night, whose conduct upon that occasion, as well as during his whole administration, it gives us method of settling the matter. Theatricals. The patrons of the drama in our city will be pleased to learn that they are soon to have an op portunity to gratify their taste. Mr. W. M. Flem ing, Lessee and Manager of the Savannah Theatre, has concluded to embrace Columbus in bis theatri cal circuit, and will commence his engagement here next week. Our Savannah exchanges speak in terms highly complimentary of the perform ances of his company in their city. He has secur ed the services of Mr. Neafie, the distinguished Tragedian, who has won golden opinions from the press in nearly every city in the Union. We recollect witnessing the appearance of this gentle man, eight years ago, at the St. Charles Theatre, New Orleans, and, though it was among his earliest performances, we have not forgotten the promise ho then gave of a brilliant career. It gives us additional pleasure tostate that Mr. W. H. Crisp will also make a professional visit to our city in January. He will bo attended, as heretofore, by a fine company, and will help us to spend the dull, cold winter evenings without the aid, or need, of fires. In advance, wo bid them both welcome. e invite the attention of our readers to day to an article from the Eufala Spirit of the South, in another column, headed. “The North and South—Seward and Hammond.” It is writ ten in Bullooh's usual vein, and that is sufficient I commendation. Wc endorse every line of it with [ the additional comment that the speech of Senator Hammond—the subject of criticism is tho worst i speech of the century. A father and his two daughters have re cently beeu arrested in Fayette county, Ohio, for robbing the United States Mail. For some time back letters and packages containing money hav ing been missed from the mail, means were adop ted to bring the offenders, if possible, to justice, which proved successful; and the Postmaster and his two daughters were arrested, under a charge of having committed the robbery. A confession Ifollowed, which implicated both children and pa rent. The father is a man nearly sixty years of age, and owns a farm of 140 acres where he re sides. He has always stood very well in the .community previous to this eharge. His office last year yielded him a revenue of SS! The daughters are said to be quite pretty and intelli gent, and were iu their mourniug habiliments, (their mother having died about a year ago.) .J&IF’Tho table of estimates for the next fiscal year, prepared by the Secretary of the Treasury, shows in aggregate of $52,378,000. The expenses of the [government for the first quarter of the present fis cal year have been $21,700,178, and the receipts for the same period have been $52,250,579. m “Cotton Planters” are firing away t each other through the columns of the Pulaski imes, about the causo of tho low prices now ru ng for Cotton. One of the writers pungently rc larks that ho frequently hears planters asking >r tho cause of a decline, but bo has never yet •ard one want to know the reason it advanced. [From the Eufaula Spirit of the South.] Tbe North and South—Seward and Hammond. When a great leader, either in war or politics, discloses iu full view of the enemy that he aims to circumvent, the well matured plans by which he expects to accomplish that result, he gives the most significant proof of contempt for the feeble ness and infatuation of his adversary, and of con fidence in his own success. When Mr. Seward, therefore, tho acknowledged leader of Black Re publicanism, and the representative man of the ab olition North, habitually cautious and politic, ta king no position so far in advance of public opin ion, that his victorious legions will not speedily hold it, throws off all disguise and boldly avows that the policy of his party is not to drive slavery from the territories, from the dock yards and arse nals, and put it every where under the ban of the federal government, only, but finally to abolish it in the States, and ultimately cover the fairest land upon earth with devastation and ruin—this is a programme put forth from a quarter and under circumstances that may well arrest the attention of the most thoughtless or the most hopeful of Southern men. From the first there have not been wanting, those in the North to proclaim the same object, but they were few in numbers, isola ted in position, and weak iu influence. Prudent and ambitious men like Seward, at first avoided them like a pestilence, for their association was destruction. Gradually however the circle widen ed, and there came from men iu high plates at first, faint expressions of sympathy, mingled with warnings against the perils of excess, then occa sional open co-operation, until at last, upon the ruins of old organizations, the compact mass stands forth animated by tho fell purpose that once found a lodgment only in the bosoms of despised fan atics, and what was once a millstone around the neck of young ambition, has become the ladder by which it ascends to exalted stations. As there have been from the first those in the North who did not leave us in doubt as to their aims, so also there hate not been wanting those in the South who early had the wisdom to perceive, and the courage to declare the ultimate results of an agi tatian that seemingly promised to be so feeble and transient. Their warnings have been deiided, their honesty disparaged, their patriotism ridi culed, and all the appliances of nationality aud union saving have been employed to crush them out. Still they have grown stronger and strong er, and in spite of the defection of traitors and time servers, their ranks have beeu constantly re cruited by true men, awaking to a sense of the dangers that menaced their country, and willing at all hazards to aid in averting them, and now after a struggle of nearly a quarter of a century, the arch enemy himself, the head and front and embodiment of Nothern sentiment comes to con firm the truth of their prediction and the wisdom of their policy. Well had it been for the South if their progress had kept pace with the advance of her enemies, and if to-day, tho great captain who leads the hosts of abolition, were confronted by one who had served her cause with the same life long and consistent devotion that has marked his hostility to her rights and institutions. When iu the Senate of the United States but little more than six months since, Mr. Seward declared in tho same spirit that characterized his Rochester speech, that the battle between the North and South “had been fought and won,” tho South had a leader who promptly met the issue:— “I was surprised the other day, said Mr. Ham mond of South Carolina, when he (Seward) so openly said “the battle had been fought and won.” Although I knew, and bad long known it to be true, 1 was surprised to hear him say so. I thought that he had been entrapped into a hasty expression by the sharp rebukes of the Senator from New Hampshire; and I was glad to learn yesterday they had been well considered—that they meant all that I thought they meant; that the}’ meant that (he South is a conquered pro vince, and that the North intends to rule it.” And then the Senator from South Carolina, who fully comprehended the force of the truth, that the South is a conquered province, and that the North intends to rule it, went on in an argument clear, convincing and overwhelming to show the capaci ty of this conquered province to take care of her self, pointing throughout to a Southern Confeder acy, as a certain escape from the perils that beset us. A few months have rolled by and the leader of free soil, advancing a step further in his aggres sive policy, proclaims the startling views of the Rochester speech, and almost simultaneously the Senatoiyfrom S. Carolina addresses the constitu “sef. lsoes'Ke*smze'TTi^)i l more the bold defiance of his first senatorial ef fort ? Does he warn the conquered province of the threatening storm, and bid the people prepare for the evil day. Alas, toe conquered province, as if by the enchanter’s wand has become an invinei blo empire. Instead of an antidote to the bale-, ful programme of abolition, every thing is swal lowed up in shouts of triumph, aud one who with in this very year, declared that he knew that the battle had been lost, forgetting all. congratulates us on the victories won, by a conquered province.’ And the free soil press that had no patience with the first effort, now lavishes its praises upon the man who has sense enough to abandon an unton able position and counsel submission to wrongs that can no longer be successfully resisted ? Well might one who stands where Calhoun once stood, exclaim, ‘what have I done that my enemy should praise mo T Well may the astonished South ex claim. “what sudden shifting of the scenes is this ? Tho same insolent enemy still thunders at my gates, but my faithful sentinel, where is he ?’ Let any thoughtful man consider the monstrous programme of Seward and review the steady pro gress of abolition agitation, and the never ceasing preparation for the threatened catastrophe, that is openly held up to our view, as the goal of our enemies—lot him contrast their energy and per severance, with our too evident indifference, their onward march with our tottering, unsteady steps, their consistent, compact plan of attack, with our want of all effort at defence; let him re member that tho issue as distinctly tendered, in volves every thing that men should hold most dear, and if he does not shrink with loathing and horror from the short sighted politicians, who in sult us with the silly twaddle of ‘rising ground,’ we do not envy the mental or moral obliquity that reconciles him to so disgusting and humili ating a spectacle. Important Grant. —The Secretary of the In terior has approved a grant of 284,568 acres of the land inuring to the State of Florida, under the provisions of the act of 17th May, 1856, to aid in the construction of that portion of the Florida railroad extending from Feruandina, on the At lantic, to Cedar Key, on the Gulf of Mexico. I his road is destined to be one of tho most im portant in the country. It is empowered by its charter to establish aline of steamers at each of the tertiuini of the road for tho transportation of passengers and freight between those points and any desired ports on the Atlantic and Gulf. It will thus connect the important ports ofthe Atlantic and Gulf by nearly an air line across the neck of the Florida peninfttlar. For more thau a .year this road has been in successful operation for nearly eighty miles of its length, and we under stand that by tbe Ist of January it will bo in full operation. Too much credit cannot be awarded Senator Yulee, of Florida, the president of this road, for his untiring energy and perseverance in carrying on this enterprise, without interruption, through the pressure of the late financial crisis; and the people of Florida should congratulate themselves upon the success of an enterprise so valuable to the State, in developing its resources aud opening through it a thoroughfare so important as this must necessarily be. A New York company, we understand, will carry passengers Irom New \ork to Feruandina, whence they will be conveyed by railroad across to Cedar Keys, going thence in steamers to Te huantepec, and from there to California.— IFasA ington States.

The Prayer of the Sorrowing. BY ELIZABETH DOTEX. “And there appeared an angel unto him from Heaven strengthening him.” God ! bear my prayer ! Thou who hast poured tho essence of thy life Into this urn, this feeble urn of clay ; Thou who amidst the tempest’s gloom and strifo Art the lone star that guides me on my way; When my crushed heart, by constant striving torn, Flics shuddering from its own impurity, Aud my faint spirit, by its sorrows worn, Turns with a cry of anguish unto thee— Hear me, oh God! my God! i Ob, this strange mingling in life and death, Of soul and substance! Lot me comprehend The hidden secret oflifo’s fleeting breath. My being's destiny, its aim and end. Show me the impetus that urged me forth, Upon my lone and burning pathway driven, The secret force that binds mo down to earth, While my sad spirit yearns for Home and Hea ven— Hear me, oh God! my God! .The ruby life-drops from my heart are wrung, By this deep conflict of my soul in prayer ; The words lie burning on my feeble tongue— Aid mo, oh Father! let me not despair. Save, Lord ! I perish ! save me, ere I die ! My rebel spirit mocks at thy control— The raging billows rise to drown my cry, i The floods of anguish overwhelm my soul— Hear me, oh God ! my God! ; Peace ! peace ! oh wilful, wayward heart, be still ! For lo! the messenger of God is near; Bow down submissive to the Father’s will, In “perfect love” that “casteth out all fear.” Oh, pitying spirit, from the home above! v.. t’„ ~k~.ll 1. 1 1 .- - l Fold me, oh fold me in thine arms of love! I know 1113’ Father “doeth all things well I will not doubt his changeless love again. Amen! my heart repeats, amen ! Salary of the State Road Superintendent. We perceive from the proceedings of the Legis lature, that the hill to increase the salary of tho Superintendent of tbe State Road, Las been lost. We may be hazarding something in saying that we regret this result, as the popular feeling is generally iu favor of low salaries for public offi cers. Nevertheless, we have had sufficient ex perience in matters of this sort to convince us, that parsimony in this particular, is not always econo my. The emoluments of a public office, ought al ways to be adequate to the services rendered.— The office of Superintendent in point of impor tance, is inferior to few, if any in\he State, so far as the people generally are concerned. It requires a man of skill, judgment and experience to ad minister such a great enterprise successfully. But lew men have the necessary qualifications for such a task, aud the services of such men always can command high prices. Tho present Superinten dent of the Stato road is a man of ample private means; and we arc authorized to say, that the sal ary was a matter of small consideration with him, in undertaking the arduous and responsible duties of the office he has thus far so successfully filled. Higher motives than mere pecuniary gain, promp ted him to accept his present position. But where will 3 r uu find another Dr. Lewis in Georgia ? Probably there is not such another in the State. Wo intend to be understood by this remark, that 3’ou will hardl}’ find another one in Georgia, similarly situated as Dr. Lewis is, who would be willing to make the private and personal sacri fices he has made, in assuming tbe responsibility aud labors of his present position. There are men who quality themselves for such business, at great labor and expense, with a view of making it a source of profit. The services of such men always command high prices, and as long as the salary of the chief officer of the State Road, re mains at its present standard, the services of the fu st class Railroad men cannot be obtained to take eharge of it, unless by accident such another as Dr. Lewis can be found, which we conceive highly improbable. V> in. Wadle} r i s now receiv ing a salary on a road iu Louisiana and Mississip pi, of $12,000, and tho company find it highly j economical to pa}’ him that price. Put the salary i of the Superintendent of the State Road at sl,oo*o I per annum, and there would no doubt be a host of j applicants for it, not one of whom would be com- I petent to discharge its duties. We say therefore, j make tho pay ample, and wo can then command j ample ability for the duties of the office.— Atlanta Intelligencer. i Methodist Protestant Convention at Spring- * field, Ohio. — Withdrawal from the Slavehold- \ ing Conferences. —On Saturday, 13th, the Conven- j tion, after much discussion, and with only two 1 negative, one ministerial and one lay, to nineteen affirmative votes, adopted the following resolu- ! tion : Ilesohed, That indisputable facts, the indue- | tions ot sound logic, the dictates of Christian pru- I dence and enlightened sense of our duty to God tmd man, justif}- and warrant this convention, in the name of the several Annual Conferences here in represented, to now declare all official connec tion, co-operation, and official fellowship with and between said Conference and sueh Conferences and Churches with the Methodist Protestant As sociation, as practice or tolerate slaveholding and slave-trading, as specified in said memorial, to be now and forever suspended.

I paper.— Ciwlnnctti GtusUt, MUSCOGEE PRESENTMENTS. THE first panel of Grand Jurors for the fall term of the Superior Coyrt ot Muscogee county, in clo sing their labors offer the following Presentments: The roads generally are in good condition; the Bridge on the Si. Mary’s road, known as Peggy Reed’s Bridge is impassable, and the bridge on the same road across Bull Creek is in bad cuudiuou aud needs repair- We have examined the Ordinary ‘s Books and find them very neat and correct. He reports to us that on ly a-lti children in the entire county have been return ed by the Justices as proper beneficiaries of tbe Poor School Fund. This must be tar short of the ac tual number, for we find in ’57 these children number ed t>9l and then those from Bto 16 only were entitled, while now those from (5 to 18 are beneficiaries. Thus we have fifty per cent, added to ages, and a probable (■crease in the aggregate number, while there is an ac tual decrease of 45 children returned. We account for this deficiency only from the lameness of the act of ’57 regulating t e returns to be made to the Ordinary of the county. This act of the Peace in each district to make sueh returns, but provides no remedy for defective lisis. We therefore recommend the Leg islature to provide by law tor a General System of Edu cation, or, if the presentsystem is to be continued, that the ages of children be restricted from 7 to 14 years, and that the Ordinaries be authorized to appoint suita ble persons to turnish complete lists of Poor Children, and said persons receive suitable compensation there for We also find the books of the Clerk of the Infe rior Court in neat order and condition. There are two Minute Books from 1842 to IS4B without Indexes, and as we consider these indisdensable. we recommend the Inferior Court to appoint a suitable person to furnish and fill out the same properly We were much pleased w ith the regularity and con venient arraegement of Books and f papers in the office ot the Clerk of the Superior Court. The papers are carefully hied away ami labelled, the Books of Record, &c., likewise labelled back to 1838—at which time the old Court House was burnt. The minutes of the Court were nearly and completely written up, embracing the very < ase on trial at the time of our examination. By the Books of the County Treasurer (Edward Birdsong, Esq.) we find that the entries are all proper ly and accurately made, and for the amounts paid out he has good and sufficient vouchers, carefully filed iu his possession. We consider him a trustworthy offi cer. It is estimated by bitn that the sum of about 3*8,000 u ill have been paid into the Treasury during the present year, and that the expenses of the county will consume the emire amount. We learn that 60 per cent, of the Tax for Connty p-nposes is divided be tween tbe ami Poor School funds; and as the county tax is only 150 per cent, on the State tax, we have but 8j to 90 per eent. for actual county expenses, which is insufficient therefor. We therefore recommend that the Legistatur e pass a Special Act for this county, authorizing the Inferior Court to levy att extra tax for county purposes. We recommend our Inferior Conrt to take proper lo gal measures tor the collection ot the amount due this count} - from Chattahoochee county, for building and keeping in repair the Bridges across Upatoie Creek.— We have examined the Court House and notice that repairs are much needed. It requires plastering in several places, and whitewashing generally.— The floor of the Grand Jury Room should be covered with new matting and lighted with gas. The Jail wc find in very bad condition, needing new sills and sleepers, roof, blinds to windows of family room, new windows in Debtor’s and Negroes’ rooms, sash to Criminal room and Kitchen. As all these re pairs would cost nearly as much as the building is worth, and as the Jaii is now unsafe for the detention of prisoners, we recommend that anew one be built forthwith. We are satisfied, from the experience of many years that the prosecution of minor offences initiated in the Grand Jury Room fails almost entirely of the effect in tended by iaw, and we therefore observe with pleasure the efforts of our Representative (It. L. Mott, Esq.,) to pass a bill conferring upon the Mayor of this city pow er to punish by fine and imprisonmet, persons that are guilty of various offences against good order and public morals. We think the eviis will be much better reached by the proposed law, and therefore respectful ly urge our Representatives to see that the bill becomes a law. We beg to notice the fact that we have in the city of Columbus three or four military companies and the same number of tire companies, numbering about 30* men, among them some of our best citizens, and that all these men are by law exempt from Jury duty. We believe these exemptions to be radically wrong, and contrary to sound public policy, especially so” when carried to the extent as in our city. Our Grand Jurors have, time and again, made I’lesentmeMis on this point and they have been passed bv unnoticed. We again present the evil, and to remedy the same, respecttuily request our Senator, P. H. ‘Colquitt, and our Represen tatives N. L. Howard and R. L. Mott, to introduce and to endeavor to have passed at the present rossion ofthe Legislature, the following Bill and we also respectfully urge upon the Legislature the necessity of passing the auie, to-vvit: An Act to repeal all laws, either general, or local, or private, exempting persons from Jury duty, so far as relates to the county of Muscogee, and for defining who shall be liable “to pertbrm said duty in said county. Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly met. and it is hereby enacted by the authority ofthe same, That ah Laws, whether general or local or private, exempting any person from Jury duty in the County of Muscogee, be and the same are hereby repealed. Sec. 2. Be it further enacted bvqtlie authority of the pam &. ThataU s o iL^ lu > s c e b S liable to perform Jury duty. And we request that a copy of so much of our pre sentments as relates to the above point, be immediately forwarded to our Senator and each of our Representa tives. There is another class of our citizens of whom a word may not be amiss. They cannot, in consequence of “ pressing business engagements,” find tune to serve as Grand Jurors, but on an important criminal trial we notice many of them are among the first to flock to the Court House and remain there two or more days: 60 great is their desire to see the laws enforced and offenders brought to justice. But ask them to lend a hand to ac complish these ends, and the stale reply is offered:— •‘Business engagements are pressing, demanding every moment of our time.” Should the Legislature not ac cede to our request in regard to tbe military and fire companies, we reiy upon the honor of the last named class for a change either in their excuses or their con duct. If only this change be effected, public interest will be promoted, the delay in law so much complained of by themselves and others, will be obviated, and the speedier settlement of cases will diminish litigation. As we learn the Inferior Court has passed an order that Grand Jury Presentments be hereafter published in one paper only, we suggest they be published in the two weekly papers having the largest circulation. We tender our thanks to his honor Judge Worrill, for bis uniform courtesy to this body, and to Solicitors pro. lent.
