December 2,1853. W. GA8TON BULLOCH.
It will be aeon that there gentlemen ere determined to
run only as party men. They prefer a nomination by a
warty to a nomination by their ftlltw eitiune, and conse
quently, If elected, they will represent a party, and not
the people of this city. Nay, more-lbe above declara
tion la tantamount to a reaction of the aupport of a large
of clUtona, unless It be accorded to them aa the
nominees of a party. They spurn all support of those
Intelligent and virtuous men who desire to rescue the
dty from tho rule of tho partisan and the office-seeker,
and to place It In the hands or those who will administer
its affldrs tor the good of the whole public. Never before
hare we beard of candidates who ** respectfully declined 1 !
the suffrages of say portion of the people. Are these
gentlemen better than others, that they should elect from
their fellow cltisena who shall, and who shall not, vote
for thorn f If not, why prefer tho support or a partis* or
the people to the support of tho wAWs f Judging from
their Card, If elected, they will be Aldermen of a party,
and not of theOty. But more hereafter.

At thlals Discord pleas’d, and said to Pride
That she was glad their bua'nes cetned so.
Harrington. Orlando, b. xvn. s. 17.
The Charleston Jlfsvwy, after acknowledging that It
was misinformed In relaUon to all the merits of the cot
ton transaction, to which wo have already adverted,
qualifies Us admission by a reference to the prices cur
rent fbr the past week, In which it appears that some
sales were made In Charleston at figures higher than any
reported here. Now, we would be glad to be able to
state that the Bavannah prices current did siieaya show
all the actual transactions of the week, but such unfortu
nately Is not tho case.. We can, however, statoforthe
Information of the Jtfwtary, that 10 bales were sold here
last week at 53 cents; which Is a higher figure than any
th Mercury quotes. This sale was not reported by the
fkclor—and why It was not, we see no euffeient reason.
That this refusal to report sales la attended with manifest
injury to this market, la evident from the controversies
which always have sprung, and always wlU spring up,
from time to time, similar to that In which we are now
engaged. We may add, that there are more lots oT very
floe cotton sold In Charleston than here, and when they
are sold In this market they are never reported.
Tho Mercury makes an Illiberal fling at the new steam
er 8L Joint. We will enlighten it by saying that we
bare seen the boiler In process of construction by Messrs-
Mu.uu A Co™ that It Is perfectly new and sound
throughout, and we shall sooner expect to hear of the ex
plosion of our gallant contemporary than of the said
boiler.
New Books*
We are Indebted to the Publishers tor the following
new works, which may be found at the Bookstore of
Col. Williams.
BsliCt BaiTtjH Eloqusrce.—Embracing the speeches
entire, of the most eminent orators or Great Britain,
for the last two centuries, with sketches or their lives,
an estimate of their genius, and Notes critical and ex
planatory.—By Chauncey A. Goodrich, D. D™ Profes
sor In Yale Oolelge. New York, Harper A Brothers.
We havo given the title of this book in eztento, so
well doM U denote lU scope and object. It will be seen
at a glance that the work is an Immensely Important ad
dition to the current literature of this century, and that
it oonlalns what has not probably ever before appeared
in a single volume. The Harpers have done great Justice
to these speeches, as they are got up In an economical,
attractive form, with a very clear and distinct type.
What adds much to the value of the work Is, the addi
tion of a memoir of each orator, designed to show his
early training in eloquence, the cast of genius, and tho
peculiar characteristics of his oratory; and also a historical
introduction to each of the speeches, explaining the dr-
.cumstances under which they were delivered, the stole
of parties, and tho exact point at Issue-all or which are
necessary to place the reader in the midst of the scene as
an prt n « ! spectator. These Introductions and memoirs
forma continuous thread of history, embracing the most
important topics discussed in the British Parliament for
more than a century. In addition to this, are abundant
explanatory and critical notes, translations, se^Ac. Of
the speeches of Lord Chatham, alt are given, as are all
- those of Burke, which be prepared tor the press. Blxof
Fox's great speeches are given—three or Pitt's, four or
Lord Mansfield, two of Grattan, Bheridan's great speech
on the Impeachment of Warren Hastings, three of Cur
ran's, and numerous others which It were needless '
We regard this collection as not only possessing great
interest to the general reader, but as calculated, by being
attentively studied, greatly to improve both our secular
and sacred oratory.
UtsToav or Romulus: by Jacob Abbot; with engrav
ings. New York: Harper A Brothers.
This Is another of Abbot's Illustrated histories, for
both the young and old. It contains the whole story of
th* letters or Cadmus, the destruction of Troy, tho flight
or iEneaa, the landing InLatlnm, the birth of Remus
anu Romulus, with other matters of Interest. One or the
principal merits of this and the other works of Mr. Ab
bott Is bis close adherence to historic truth. Hence
we attribute to bis volumes increased interest from the
feet, that they are plain and simple condensations of ma
terials furnished from the most authentic aceosslblo
Tu* IIistoxt or IIchry Esmond, Esq., Colonel In the
service of her Majesty Qieen Anne, written by him-
self. New York: Harper A Brothers.
This Is one of Messrs. Harpers’ cheap pamphlet books.
It is by Mr. Thackeray, who has prefixed a most
graceful and felicitous dedication of the work to Lord
Ashburton, just as he was about to set sail for this coun-
try.
t Fire I
A tow minutes after 11 o’clock, yesterday forenoon, a
fire broke out in the tenement bouso near the comer of
South Broad and Montgomery-streets, occupied by Mr.
J. G, Newcombs. The fire spread eastwardly to the
building on the corner occuplod by Martin GaoTnata
as a store and a dwelllbg house, and westwardly to the
other tenement occupied by Mrs. Mart Baker, where
the Are originated. All these buildings were so much
_ injured that they cannot be repaired. Their entire de
struction was prevented only by the efficient services of
the Are companies. The buildings burned were owned
by 8. Goldsmith, upon which be has an Insurance of
$2,400 in the Georgia Mutual Insurance Company. Mr.
Grotbeir’s loss from the removal of goods and destruc
tion of furniture, is covered by Insurance in Hartford
Protection Insurance Company.
The adjoining bouses were all or wood and In much
dagger, but escaped without other injury than from the
! removal of window blinds, Ac. Mr. Nxwbombe, Mrs.
Baker and Mrs. Walsh all suffered considerable loss In
injury to furniture, fro. The Ore is supposed to have
originated from a defect in the chimney.
Later from the Bond Above.
1 A train went up the Road yesterday as flu* aa tho fifty-
seven mile post, taking up some seventy hands. Thera
are now about 700 hands distributed along the overflowed
parts of the Road.'
We learn that cars ran dally from Macon down to near
station 18, or about 125 miles from this city. It Is thought
that the trains from this end may be able to go up as for
as thp Waynesboro' Junction to-day, and to Griffin’s to-
' morrow, and without an accident, that they will ran
through to.Macon on Monday.
/. North American Review.—We ere Indebted to the
publishers, Messrs. Little, Brown A Co, of Boston,
(through 06L Williams, Agent for this dty,) for the Oo-
I tober number of this excellent Review. The Morth
American In another decade will hsve attained to the sge
: or half a century since its first establishment. This num
ber contains a variety or valuable papers. Conspicuous
among them la an elaborate and veryfevorable notice of
Mr. Btilsi' work on Austria. The writer places Mr.
BriLRa* book at the bead of all those yet published on
European Corrapondenco of llie Bep«blle»n.

Dmr Republican:—l wrote you oa the 4th toil, In
tending myktter to reach Liverpool to Urns forth*
“sto, but have reason to beUero U foiled taking that
•learner. I apprehend also, upon reflection, that soma
of my previous mlsaiwa have been similarly delayed.
Tbs mall arrangements la Francs are much behind the
H9. A stranger Is subject to a thousand annoyances—
and what la worse than all, few of the offiem at tbs post
office bureaux seem to comprehend the functions of ibelr,
position. Information Is doled out In the most parsimo
nious end nnsstlsfoctory manner; and generally you are
turned off with n few hasty words end a nonchalant
shrug of the shoulder. Whatever may be the politeness
of the French in social life, they certainly less it In a
business capacity. There, no people are more Irritable,
la fed, no people strike me aa more unadapted to busl-
ness. They are artlfldal beings, made for the pasting
hour—fbr transitory pleasures—for the gay scenes of a
pageant life. In Ingenuity they are Incomparable* and
their aoft, pliant, and elastic manners fesdnato and de
ceive the moat wily Anglo-Saxon. To me, at this mo
ment, the French teem more a notion of actors than any
thing else. While to thdr appropriate sphere of acting,
we confess ourselves highly entertained, bnt when they
are placed to an element somewhat foreign to their na
ture— that of business—they completely lose thdr inden*
Uty, and become aa It were another people.
Tho Senate baa adopted the Stnatm-Comultum, which
re-establishes tho Empire, making Louis Napoleon Em
peror under the title of Napoleon III, and giving to him
the power of ruling In hla family, the ordor of the Impe
rial succession. The people have been aummonod by a
decree of the Princt Prtiidtnt to declare, on the StsVand
S9d Inst, their adoption or rejection of tho following
Plebieciti: “The French people desire the re-establish
ment of the Imperial dignity In the person of Louis Na
poleon, with hereditary rights in his direct descendants,
legitimate or adopted, and give him the right to regulate
tho order of ancceaalon to tho throne In the Bonaparte
fondly, as mentioned to the Srastvs-C****!:*!*.” The
Legislative body Isoonvenedon the 25th tost, in order
to examine the regularity of the votes and make known
the result. AU this parade la strictly ford cal, as the In
fluences which are brought to bear upon the popular
mind can produce a result favorable only to Empire.—
The proceedings of the Senate were characterized by
much bombast, Napoleon's message was a candid and
plain demand to bo made Emperor, and the wise Sena
tor* thought that FVaacs tould not to and did *st detiro
Is to • Republic—that France was ttttnlinUy, and witktd
Is to, a monarchy. The lengthy report of M. Tropllng la
filled with much extravagant eulogy on Napoleon, the
necessity or the Empire, the sMtoMsiastis desire or tho
French people. Mark some passages, after a long and
labored essay, on the beauties of Monarchy and its supe
riority to a Republic—'“Even If the lore of Frenchmen
“for monarchy be merely a prejudice, It should be re
spected. A people can only be governed to harmony
“with Its Ideas. But It must be particularly regarded,
“because It la Inspired by the greatest necessity, and the
“legitimate Interests of the conutry. Monarchy Is the
“government of great 8tates, to which Institutionsde-
“ signed to be lasting are singularly adapted, aa the most
“ solid foundations are requisite for a vast edifice. The
“Republic, on the contrary, Is only the government
“of small Slates. If we except the United Slates of
“America, which, by their geopraphlcat position, form
“ an exception to all rules, aud which, too, are merely a
“ federation, a Republic has never been established ex-
“ceptby petty 8tates, In which the embarrassments of
“that difficult and complicated form or government are
“corrected by limited territory and population.”
I cannot help thinking, when reading such sentiments,
of the femlllar but pointed fable of the “fox and the
grapes,” Tho Frencb are assuredly a very false ora very
fickle people. They will now* proclaim the Empire by
something approaching unanimity, but how for princi
ple and policy will bo respectively concerned, cannot be
determined. They have been playing. Tor the last sixty
yean so many parts—tragical aa well as fordeal—that the
world will banlly credit this present appearance of stead
iness and permanency, but nations will Inquire among
themselves “wbal new scene Is Roscius next to act f”
There cannot be a doubt that France will be better un
der monarchy. A republic requires pure men to sustain
it, and I fear there are few in France. Republicanism
here Is merely a passion which soon exhausts itself.
It Is not sustained by intelligence or virtue, but la tho toy
of ignorance and libertinism. It stopa not at moderate
democracy, but runs riot In fonallclim and red republi
canism, the horrors of which are more to bo dreaded
than the worst of monarchical despotism. The charac
ter of the National Assembly which the ceupd'elat dis
solved was Just such aa would have Involved the land
in anarchy In no long time. Its proceedings had begun
to excite the Indignation of til virtuous men, and its
dissolution, thongh compromising the honor of Na
poleon, waa doubtless tbo beat thing for the country.
Preparations for the funeral of the Duko of Welling
ton, in London, are being made on a scale of unusual
grandeur, such as monarchies sometimes bestow upon
their favorites and tho Instruments or thdr glory. Many
will go from Paris to witness this pageant—a pageant It
Is true, splendlnd and imposing—but rationally consider
ed, an Idle mockery. There la a great demand for fa
vorable points to view the funeral spectacle, and places
to windows and balconies on streets along which tbo
-proMMluu !■ lo pau, aro being engaged for exhorbUant
rates. The general price Is X5.
The news of Mr. Webster’* death reached here two or
three days since, and produced no Inconsiderable sensa
tion, for tho reputstlon of our great American orator
and statesman had been long known and acknowledged
In Europe. 1 have read many notices of his life and
character by transatlantic writers, and generally they
are such aa Americans may feol proud of. Still, eulogy
la more or less qualified, and monarchical dislike to every
thing American and republican checks the candid
thought. They say he was one of the first of living ora
tors—a veteran, statesman, and an experienced dlplo-
matlst—and above all, a celebrated Jiwurienn. All seem
to think his reputation somewhat Impaired by hla recent
course on the fishery question, and the affair of the
Lobos Islands, yd admit that In hla dealh America and
the civilized world has lost a statesman, patriot and
philanthropist— 1 “ a guide, philosopher and rricud.” We
cannot expect our great men to receive tho homage of
Europeans; their prlndples are too antagonistic. It is
pleasing, however, to observe the respect which thoy
command, and the eulogy which occasionally bursts out
In spite of the evident wish to conceal their admiration.
The position of America at present la more than ever
opening the eyes and arousing the fears of Europe.
At first our Government was regarded as a mere chimera,
an ephemeral insect, which time would destroy. The
folly of European prophecy, and the futility of mo
narchical hopes, have been adequately proven in tbo
glory which illumines our nutloual history, and tho
crowned heads are now exerting themselves to retain
tbeir places In spite of the grand light which America la
casting over despotic and down-trodden Europe. They
look upon her as the cause of all their anxieties, troubles
and sorrows, and as such they regard her with any feelings
but those or friendship and love. Ifcourtesy compels them
to smile, It la a sickly smile, betraying a dozen conflict
ing passions, among which puny hatred and fear play
prominent parts. No—America need never look to Eu
rope for justice, for a sanction of the wisdom of her gov
ernment, or for a true appreciation of the greatness of
her distinguished sons. Iieury Clay and Webster cer
tainly were '-great men,” say they, but after all they
were essentially American. This Is the substance or their
eulogies generally on our great political philosopher*,
and the foci of the world regarding them as eettnlUdly
American Is a high testimonial of their worth, and tbeir
patriotism, and should only render tbeir memory dearer
to that country which Is so deeply Indebted to them for
much of Its past security and present glory. The guar-
dlan genius of our country might well exclaim on the
death of Clay and Webster—
“ Take them for all to all—
I shall ne’er look upon their like again.”

Bavannah, Ner. 3U, IWt (
fellow CitiumIn conformity with Urn Ordinance,
you bate herewith submitted toyoatba report of th#
reeelpu sad expendltaree of the city offeraaaak for
the fiscal year from tbe 1st of November, 1851, to the
Slat October, 1852, Inclusive. I shall deslgaato this year
as tbo fiscal yeer of 1858, and the praoedtof one ae
that of INI.
Tbo detail* of tbo Treasurer’* Report will sufficiently
explain themselves on moat points, but there aro some
others which will require some reference to pest years to
prerent misapprehension. Aa la generally tho case, this
refer* mora particularly to tb# Incidental expense*. Tho
total amount this year la $30X12 13, against $10,075 40
the preceding year.
Two Items, amounting to $7,805 75 and $387 75, mak
ing a total or $8,103 50, were Incurred for a cause to
which every Savannahlan looks back with feeling* of
pridoand pleasure, vlxt entertaining oa guests ortho
dty “tbe Governor, 8tato House Officers and Members
of the General Assembly of the 8tato of Georgia.”
Tho proper drainage of the City is ono of paramount
lmporUmcc. When'scwers bare been built to effect this
purpose, aa they are,or oughtto be, permanent pieces of
masonry, not requiring an anunal outlay, the money paid
for them waa placed among the toddeutal expenses by
the late Treasurer. Hence the payments made on tho
•ewers commenced during tho preceding fiscal year,
have been carried to the same account. Those sewers
were those on the South Common and on Liberty and
Barn an)-streets. In the fiscal year of INI, the payments
on the sower of tbe 8onth Common were $3,100, and In
the present year $4,533 07, while for that on Liberty and
Barnard-etreets they were for this year $3,482, and for
covoring the sewers and hauling away the sand thrown
up by tho necessary excavations $774 37, making those
Uorasln Incidental expenses for sewers for tho current
year $8,780 41, against one of $2,100 of the preceding
year, and showing an excess or $8,669 41 for this year
fbr an object which will not be likely to occur again.
These explanations wlU account to you fbr $14,888 91
of the amount oftnddental expenses for this year.
Therawlll be found among the dotalla of the Treasurer’*
Report other Items for expenditures, not likely to occur
again, and some or which are fluctuating, aa those of tbe
Fire Department. For Forsyth Place, tbe sum of $13,-
071.46 waa paid for Railing, Settees, grading, planting
trees, foe. For tho subsistence of the passengers and
crew of the steamer Fha*y, there were paid $923.41, and
for the Culvert or Bower esst or the Canal $8^00.00, and
for labor, drainage, excavation and tools for the tame
$2,49598.
The expetues for tbe Fire Department for this
year, wore $10,883 34
For last year 5,068 34

Blaorwood and Harpers' Maoaeinr.—Col. Wil
liams haa received tbe November number of Black
wood and tbe December number of Harper. Both these
magazines are replete with Interest. Harpers' is unusu-
ally attractive. Among other papers, it has a sketch of
Washington City, with views of the various pubUc
buUdlugs, etc. Tbe history of Napolron is resumed In
this number, which likewise contains a paper on Mr.
Waama.irtU 1 engravings of his residence at Harsh
SodtmrrrLirr op European Steameeis—A bill has
pamjd the upper house of the Virginia Legislature to
g^iy%4^wS»meaj of a line of steamers bo-
iwreM^e portsof YlrgUila, (Richmond and Norfolk,)
and Antwerp.
Making a total of. $52,779 12
To meet these extm'expendilurcs there was a balance
of $16,770 60 In the Treasury at the commencement of
tho year, and there were al tho end of Iho year, as bills
payable, Mayor’s Notes to tho amount of $28,500—total
$43,270 60—less $4,044 30, balance on band as per this
account, equal to $41,236 31, against $52,77912 paid out,
leaving an excess of extra expenditures over the oxtra
receipts of 011X53 01, paid out of the curreut funds of
tho City. The large balance on hand at the end of the
fiscal year of INI, was owing in part, to the large amount
received for the sale of City lots, which was, daring the
year, $33X83 40, against $3,338 00, received from the
same source this year. This Is the 20 per cent, paid In
cash on tho purchaso of City lots, and tills amounted to
$18X44 49 more in INI than In 1N2. The Interest on
the remainder of the money duo for these lots, accruing
in the shape or ground rents, increases the permanent an
nual revenuooftheCIty. Hence, for tho year 1853, tbe
ground rents exceeded those of INI by $2,3N 35.
These explanations are made by me solely to show yon
that tho present Board of Aldermen have been called
upon to meet extra expenditures with diminished extra
receipts, and also to bring more clearly to your minds the
causes for which they were Incurred, and the fact that they
are not likely to embarrass the action orany future board >
Tbe recent extension of the city limits Imperatively re
quired additional Watchmen lo protect the inhabitants
during tho night. This has added a permanent annual
expense to the City, and shows an excess of expendi
ture for 1N2 over that of INI of $3,530 68.
A reference to the Treasurer’s report will show that the
resources of our City are ample, and a comparison of
them with the receipts of post years will prove that they
aro gradually increasing every year.
The opening and grading of new Streets, tbo building
of 8ewprs, and tho necessary work on Streola and Lancs,
will of course cost more money than formerly, yet there
can be no doubt that with caution and prudence on the
part of future Councils, a large surplus could be accumu
lated qnlle sufficient to meet ttie Bonds which the City Is
about to Issue for tbe Water Works. Moreover, those
works, when completed, will be not only self-sustaining
but remunerative. They will also very materially lessen
tbe expenses Incurred In the Fire department, by fur
nishing a prompt and sufficient supply of water, as It Is
well known that the difficulty of obtaining water In tbe
early stages of fires, allows them to progress, increasing
the loss or properly and the amount of labor necessary
to subdue them. It will not bo out of the way to assume
that tbe average saving to the City would bo at least fire
thousand dollars a year.
It cannot bo denied that tho publlo purse Is too often
foosened with less discretion than a private one. ffence
Uie propriety that each year the fiscal transactions of tbe
City should bo laid before you for your examination and
Judgment- I have endeavored to facilitate that exami
nation by a brief analysis of some portion of tbo City’s
receipts and expenditures, leaving out of view those
which are recurring every year.
All of which la respectfully submitted by your obedient
■errant, R1CUARU D. ARNOLD,

Wo havo not unfreanently called attention to this

wf Ui the foil confidence that it waa a good one, and de
serving the patronage of the public. We hare bad a
chance to witness its effects upon some of our friends,
which. In addition to (lie high encomiums passed upon
it by our brethren of tho preaa, not In paid puffs, but In
honest, candid statements, from having derived a benefit
themselves, makes us desirous of advising all those who
have occasion hi resort to a remedy for pulmonary
affections, to avail themselves of It. We havo too ranch
eonfidcnco In Mr. Fowlo, the general agent, to believe he
would lhruslthU,or any other medicine upon the com
munity, unless he had foil felth in ita efficacy—in con
firmation or which the proprietor offers a mass of testi
mony from tbe moat unquestionable sources. Neither
would wo be understood as saying that this will always
cure consumption after It I* seated, although H seldom
falls to relieve the worst cases—but at tbit season of the
year almost every body is liable to a cold, which. If neg
lected, will lead to fatal results—by taking thla medicine,
we doubt not many lives may be saved.—Mtte England

Macallisteb, the Magician.—'Tho great master of
“arts Inhibited” leaves on the steamer or Saturday for
Savannah, whero bo will ODen bis “ EnchantM Pul.

the principal Bouthem cities. His immense cabinet baa
recently received largo additions from Paris, and hla
wholo apparatus has been remodelled, Improved, and*
embellished, at a heavy expense or tlmo and money, oc
cupying, as It has, bis entire attention for the last three
months. During this period be has perfected several
new mechanical pieces, that will rank with his wonder
ful “ Peacock,” “ Harlequin,” or “ Confectioner.” Among
other entirely new feats, Is one that Is equal to any thing
we ever witnessed. It la called “ Macallister’a Infernal
Teapot.” This Is a tilvtr teapot, of common dimensions,
Into which Macallisteb will pour rum, brandy, gin,
whisky, beer, milk, ink, wine, foc^ also a handful of tea,
and a bandfUl of coffee; tbe whole will he raized up to
gether, and then he will go round and supply the audi
ence, from the earao tea-pot, with hot coffee or tea, whis
key or rum punch, Aot or cold, or milk punch, or milk
alone, or any other liquors that may be asked for ad lib
itum. This teapot will take the ahlne out of the “ Inter
minable Bottle,” and will prove highly acceptable to the
friends of the Maine Liquor Law.
Madame Macallisteb (the “ Wizard’s*Page”), baa
received a magnificent apparatus from Pans, and will
take a prominent part In theso elegant exhibitions here
after. We have beard that abo laju clever a “ witch” aa
he Is a“wlzard.” We know that abe has always proved
■ most bewitching page, and doubt not abe will divide

said to be truly marvellous. Wo predict success to

ANOTHER CERTIFICATE FROM CONNECTICUT.
Meriden, July 20, 1851.
JUcitrt'. Bted, Batu Sr AuaUn—aentltmtn~l take
tho liberty lo express my gratitude to you, for tho good
effects produced on me by tbe tue of the Oxygenated
Bitters.
My constitution has been greatly impaired, by Typhus
and Billions Fevers: and, for four yeara past, I hare
been troubled with a severe cough, nnd discharging
greatly from the lungs, my bredthlng vory laborious, and
much distressed on my left side, near, and around the
hoart, so much so, that tbe noise and whistling In my
chest, would wake me out of a sound sleep, the difficulty
still Increasing upon me, when my breath almost wholly
I waa carried !h a chair from my business to tbe
house, and no one who saw me thought I could long
survive. I tried a bottle of tbe Oxygenated Bitters,
recommonded by a friend, and In five or alx days, It
greatly relieved my cough and hard breathing. I am
not well, bnt able to attend to my amatl business, and aa
thousands aro suffering from similar complaints, I there
fore recommend It to the pnbllo asa valuable medicine.
Youra respectfully,
