COLIMBIS, SATURDAY, DK! KMBEIt is, ls:>\ Methodist Church-Sabbath. Bishop Pierce will conduct divine service at the Methodist church to-morrow morning. Re ports from the Treasurer and other officers will be read this evening at the Methodist ehurch and short addresses delivered by different Ministers Bishop Pierce, Rev, J. B. McPlierrin and others tSpon the Missionary cause. A collection will he taken up for that enter prise. ommon Schools—Education. The Democratic party of this State having tri umphed for many years at every election, and having gained the confidence of the people, it is natural that its enemies should not loose an op portunity to detract from its well-merited popu larity. it is to accomplish some political end more than to give utterance to an honest indig nation that has induced some of our American cotemporarics in this State to condemn the re cent action of a democratic legislature in regard to its Common School policy. * The “pitiful, “niggardly,” sum of one hundred thousand dol lars has been appropriated for common School purposes! What a “shrivcl-hearted policy! Well, it may he from this exhibit of the liberality of the legislature that Georgia should bow her head” in shame, but when it is remembered that this sum is in addition to what is raised in each county a* heretofore, that it is just one hundred thousand dollars more than any other Legislature ever appropriated, we confess wo are satisfied with the amount. For ourselves we were not the ad vocates of so large an amount unless distributed equally among the tax-paying eounties of the State. The Legislature has done more for Com mon Schools than the tax-paying people asked, and especially those who pay hut little and prefer the education of their own children or no educa tion at all, than an intervention on the part of the Government to force them to educate other people's children. We do not intend by this ar ticle to condemn the policy of educating the poor, but simply to object to the common school system as unequal, and to provo that in the face of all difficulties, the Legislature was exceedingly liberal with the people's money. For instance, wc take the county of Fulton, as the Atlanta American is indignant on account of the small amount appro priated, and the county of Gilmer—the next in alphabetical order in the Comptroller’s report —to show the inequality. Fulton county pays $4,524 tax into the Treasury, and $2,331 to poor schools. Gilmer county pays $757 —and noth'ny for Poor Schools. Fulton draws $195 from the Treasury, and Gilmer sf>2o for school purposes. Thus it will be seen that Fulton pays from the tax imposed on her citizens, six times as much money as Gilmer, and yet draws from the Treasury nearly one-third loss. This may be right but if it is, it is right to take from one man money and give it to another nolens colons. This wc do not conceive to be the object of government. Its great end is to pass laws for the protection of the rights, liberties and properties of the people. If a tax is levied for education, let it be done equally and ,above all, distributed equally. So much for the one hundred thousand dollars for School purposes and the “niggardly” policy of the Democrats. Operatic and Theatrical. It gives ns much pleasure to inform our pleas sure-loving community that the New Orleans English Opera Company, under the management of Mr. W. S. Lystcr, will begin an engagement of twelve nights at Temperance llall in this city on the 3d of January next, during which will be represented many of the chief operas this company lias reproduced in the principal cities of the Union with distinguished success. Misses Durand and Hodson, each of whom won golden opinions from crowded audiences here last winter, are still con nected with the company, and the favor with which they were then received renders it superflu ous for us to bespeak for them a generous re ception on their second visit. They will bo succeeded by Mr. W. 31 Fleming, who, with his talented theatrical corps, to be in creased. we learn, by the addition of a few “Stars” of the first magnitude, will enter upon an engage ment of a few nights at the same place, on the 24th of January. Of Mr. Fleming’s character as a gentleman, we cheerfully bear the most positive testimony. As an actor, we think that his tragic impersonations are superior to any we have ever seen, except by the acknowledged masters of the dramatic art. Iu some of his characters, we do not make even this exception. We shall extend to him a cordial welcome, and hope that he may muko his visit a successful one. J/r. W. 11. Crisp, long and favorably known to our community in the two-fold capacity of mana ger and actor, will commence a series of theatrical entertainments at Temperance Hall on the 7th of February next, lie has not visited our city for several seasons, ami, hence, we do not know the composition of the company or the nature of their representations; but this, we do knew, that, whether they bo presided over by the tragic or the comic muse, they will, from the fact of the leader ship of Mr. Crisp, present an amount of attraction which will test the capacity of the house. At least, we so hope. Friday—Hanging of Hindi and Dozier on the same hallows! Gallows well Arranged—Drop Doors— Hinges on Sides—Cost $50.00. On yesterday Hiuch and Dozier, suffered death as the penalty for their respective crimes. As the hour of execution approached, a large and promiscuous crowd assembled around the Jail. The prisoners appeared very much composed. After exchanging parting words kindly and feelingly with their friends, they entered two carriages— Hineh iu one with Sheriff Brooks, Rev. Allen Turner of the Methodist Conference, Rev. Dr. Young and Marshall Hughes. Dozier iu the other, with Rev. Miehael Culli uan, Catholic Priest and Deputy Sheriff Lamar— both carriages guarded by Columbus Guards un der the command of Capt Semmes and City Light Guards, Lieut. Weems, commanding. The pro cession moved slowly to the place of execution, without music. Arrived at the Gallotcs. Police —companies and officers of the Court of Russell co. Ala., were admitted within the ropes. The Priest, at the foot of the Gallows was en gaged for a long time in prayer with Dozier, while Hincb was conversing with Rev. Mr. Turner. Hinch ascended the Gallows and made the fol lowing remarks ; “Ladies and Gentlemen : Before God in whose presence I am shortly to appearand on this serious and solemn occasion I desire to state the truth of the unfortunate trans action which has caused me to be a victim to day. Wc (naming the parties) were walking down the street on the sabbath morning, I was never in better humor in my life, our attention was arrest ed by a jower between Stowers and McArdell —at the suggestion of another I turned hack to sup press it. Arriving at the place we found McAr dell and Stowers engaged in a fight in which Stowers was whipped and McArdell got off him of his own accord —Stowers acknowl edged being whipped and came to where I i and Corcoran and his son, and Garrison were standing, Tracy, the man whom unfortunately I killed, came up with a knife in his right band and struck Stowers twice with his left. I remarked that he ought not to fight a man who was whipped and had acknowledged it. Then Tracy made an attack with his knife, approaching my direction. Corcoran was standing between us, and drawing a pistol, said, I will kill you if you attempt to cut me. He did not attack Corcoran, but came on to me with hiA knife drawn, and I seized a pistol from Garrison and killed him, If this be murder, I am guilty of murder; if not, I aim not guilty. Of the witnesses, I will not speak. The time has been when I would revenge myself on them. If they can justify their conduct before their God, lain satisfied. I have to-day no ill-feeling or malice against a human being in this country, and lam endeavoring to die in peace with all man kind. lam resigned to the will of t my God, but lam not reconciled to the idea that I ought to be hanged.” After Hinch closed bis address, the Rev. Allen Turner read a hymn and made an impressive dis course —after which there was singing, in which a good many participated, and then prayer. Again the Priest knelt on the scaffold with Dozier in prayer, Ac., for some time. Tho prison ers then parted with officers and ministers and priest, and were ready to depart. The Sheriff as cended to adjust the ropes—when about to tie Hindi's arms, he said—“you need’nt tie my arms, I can die without it, aud I won’t move my hands.” Dozier said to Deputy Sheriff, “he would be in Heaven in a few moments. I feel just like it.”— Dozier made no remarks aloud. Both professed to have their sins forgiven and ready to launch into eternity. Hinch was dressed in black coat and pants, white and glazed cap. Dozier was dressed in white pants, grass linen coat and boots. Both were remarkably cool and collected during the time. When the cap was tied on, by Hindi's request tho Sheriff stated that he, Hinch, hoped no one would interefere with his remains, but let them rest in peace. Then, turning to Dozier, Hinch said, my dear old fellow, how do you fed? the reply was, very well ; so do I ; God bless you, farewell! As the Sheriff left him, he commenced repeating, •‘0 God, have mercy on me, aud take me into thy keeping,” when the drop fell. This occurred at twenty minutes befor 2 o’clock. FOR THE TIMES. New Orleans, Dec. 14th, 185S. Dear Times: In politics, the engrossing subject here, for some days past, has been Douglas. His speech has been a grand panacea for all the ills politic, and is but another example of the versa tility, if not of the gullibility of the sovereigns. He left yesterday morning on the Black Warrior for Havana, where he expects to visit a few days. His beautiful wife accompanies him. I could vote for her with much more grace of mind and ease of conscience than I could for him. But politics here does not engross the public mind. Amidst the ever changing aspects of pleasure and business, that subject comes in only as an occasional interlude. Although the late epidemic has but just past, and its effects are still to be seen and much more to be felt iu many a family gathering, although there have been not less than five thousand of the people of this city laid in their graves, no one would suppose that such had been the case to see now the busy mul titudes, eager iu the pursuit of pleasure or intent upon the transactions of business. The city is thronged with a bus}’ hive of strangers. The Hotels, from the St. Charles down, are all crowd ed. Were it not for the occasional visitations of epidemic diseases, there can be no doubt but that this city would soon become the leading city of the United States. Situated upon the mightiest stream of the world, draining a vast extent of the entire continent, an area in soil and climate un surpassed, what but local causes is to prevent its swelling into a magnificent cornucopia, a mart of opulent commerce that should excite the admira tion aud wonder of the world ? There is much here to engage the attention of a stranger. The enormous amount of produce de livered upon the acres of levee, the shipping of a world, the customs of tho people, the manners so different from our rural ideas, the singularity of the situation of the City, all, without speaking of minor matters, arc enough to attract one’s obser vation. Particular objects, worthy of mention, are com mon. The mammoth Custom House, occupying one entire square, already consuming ten years in its construction, and promising an equally long period for its completion, will be, when finished, the finest structure of the kind in the world. The numerous magnificent Roman Cathedrals arc more of a distinct feature of New Orleaus than of any other American city. Yesterday, however, I enjoyed more of a treat than Romish priest could ever have offered. The great aud good Bishop Pierce, on his way from the Texas Conference to preside over that of Geor gia. happened here. It was hurriedly auuouneed that he would preach iu the Moreau Street Metho dist Church, way down in the French quarter of the city. I weut. The gracious outpouring of God's spirit was felt in tho congregation, and we were revived and refreshed. Prof. Darby, of Ala., has been in the etty several days, on business connected with his new disinfec tant, I understand that he has had most gratify ing success iu bringing it before the medical pro fession here, and in introducing it into the Charity Hospital and otherwise. It is gratifying to see our own people succeeding among ourselves. Prentice of the Louisville Journal, is to lecture here to-night. The Theatre and Opera are doing a fine busi ness here this season.

Death of an Old Negro Woman.— Clony, an old negro woman, belonging to the Lane fami ly, died recently, whilst on a visit in Heard coun ty, to some of her descendants, at the advanced age of one hundred and Jour years !. * She retain ed her mental and physical energies, in a remark able degree, to the close of her life, which was terminated by a stroke of paralysis.

FURTHER RECLINE IX COTTON. Augusta, l)ec. 17.—The Cunard Steamship Arabia arrived at Halifax last night, bringing one week’s later advices from Liverpool, which port she left on the 4th inst. Liverpool Cotton Market. —Sales of the week preceding the departure of the Arabia, were 37,000 bales of which speculators took 1,000 and exporters 3,500 bales, leaving 32,000 bales to the trade. Fair and lower qualities had declined and Middling qualities k l-16d.

S. steam frigate Niagara, which reached New York on Saturday morning, after delivering the re-cap tured Africans, of the Echo’s cargo, to the Liberi an “receptacle.” A New York exchange reports— Seventy-one Africans died on the vogage, and many of the remainder would have shared the same fate, were it not for the excellent arrange ments on the Niagara, humanely carried out by her officers and crew. The President of Liberia, with the members of his Cabinet, visited the ship, and his government borrowed a quantity of powder and other war munitions from her stores. Napo leon’s “free emigration’’ system was carried out with pertinacity on the coast, and his agents and officers did not scruple to take free citizens of Li beria, provided they eoidd induce them to go off. Trouble was likely to ensue on the coast in con sequence. Several American vessels were closely watched by the British cruisers. The Niagara exhibited splendid performance as a sailing vessel, and the utmost order and discipline was kept up on board, notwithstanding the peculiarly disa greeable nature of the duty. Eight Childrf.x at a Birth— Egypt against all Creation.-^-Ahout five months since, the wife of Jacob Abbott, living ten miles West of Gol conda, in Pope county, presented her husband with eight pledges of affection at one birth ! Four of these children survived until some six weeks since, when two of them sickened and died. The remaining two are still living and thriving finely.

They find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates a fresh growth—that it fully restores the vegetative powerof the roots ou the denuded places, and causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness, restores the hair to its original color when gray ness has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre, imparts the sofness and flexibility of silk to the hair, and keeps it always luxuriant, healthy and in full vigor.— Neic York Tribune.
