The City Election.
. We hare but little to aay In regard to the Municipal
election on Monday. Two causes conspired to defeat
the Citizens’ ticket: First—A large number of thoeo who
would have supported It, neglected to obtain certificates
of reglatnr In consequence of their discouragement at the
state nf things the past summer. Second—There was a re-
llgtdus element Infused Into the canYsas which exerted a
. controlling influence upon the result. It may becomo
necessary to refer to the latter cause hereafter. For the
present, It Is sufficient to say, we are In the bands of the
Philistines. If those who elected the Democratic ticket,
can stapd a continuation of the present system, so can
we. It is melancholy, however, to reflect upon the do wn-
' ward tendency of things. Reforms, which could be easily
and safely accomplished now,may be attended with vio
lence and danger some years henc^ We hare the sat
isfaction of knowing that the people Of 8avannah have
not had so good a ticket presented them for many,
many years, as the Citizens’ticket. The following ta

MBN »-I promised when we left Savannah to keep yon
informed of the first day’s proceedings of the Oentennary
Celebration at this place. On the morning of the 6th,
the detachment of the Chatham Artillery commenced the
celebration by firing a rooming gun at sunrise, and at 7
o'clock they fired a salute of one hundred guns, which
made the old woods of Liberty ring again.
At half past 11 o’clock a large procession was formed,
and all marched to Midway Church, where John B.
Mallard, Esq., delivered a most eloquent address, upon
the settlement of the County. After the address was
concluded, the procession was again formed, and marched
out upon the green, In front or the Church. Here a cor
ner-stone was laid for a Monument, lo be erected by the
public-spirited citizens of the county, descendants of the
first settlers of Liberty, whose names are to be engraved
upon 1U The Artillery first fired a gun, Immediately
after which the stone was placed In position. Thus the
ceremonies of the day were ended, and all adjourned to
Iho numerous tables, spread with an amplo abundance
or all the good things of life. The speeches made were
like every thing that comes from the natives of old Lib-
erty-good models In their way. The song and the toast
went round, and—
“ All went merry as a marriage bell.”
At seven o’clock this (Tuesday) morning, the Artillery
again opened their brazen throats—ushering In the sec
ond day of the festivities. Yours, BAYANN AH.

Anecdote ot Mr. Webeter.
Just before Mr. Webster died, and after Us recovery
was despaired<* one of Us pbyrieUasapprtachrfAU
bed-side, sad asked how he found himself. *1 Milks
the Jackdaw In the Church Btcsjde," waa the alranga
reply. Tbs physician withdrew sadly IVom the bcd-elde
to another part of the room, where some members oflbs
family were standing together, end, shaking bis bead,'
confessed his apprehensions that tbs brain of tbs dying
~ * Uiatlhe stalely oak was perishing
at the top. He could set no method In the answer which
his question had received. One of the ladles present,
who knew Mr. Webster belter, did not believe hU mind
was wandering, and, quietly stepping to the bed-side,
•sked him wbat be meant by saying he foil like the Jack*
daw In the church steeple. “Why Cowper; don’t you re*
member t” was the reply. Bhe did remember Cowper’s
delightful translation of oue of Vincent Bourne’s little
poems, entitled The Jackdaw. The following are the
versos, from which the reader will perceive the perfect
fitness and point or the reply:—
The Jackdaw.
There la a bird who, by his cost,
- And by tho hoarsness of his hole,
Might be supposed a crow;
A great frequenterofthe church,
Where bishop-ilke he find* a perch,
And dormitory too.
Above the steeple shines a plate,,
That turns and turns, to Indicate
From what point blows the weather.
Look up,—your b rat ns begin to swim,
Tta In the clouds—that pleases him,
He chooses It the rather.
Young America—Removals Rom Office.
Some things transpired si the Democratic festival In
Washington city, last week, that are worthy of notice.
We quote from only two of their speakers, Mr Douglass,
the little giant, and Mr, Weller, both or them Senators In
Oougress.
After congratulating his Democratic friends on the re
suit of the election, Mr. Douglass proceeded to apeak
upon our foreign policy. He would like, (aooordlng to a
correspondent or the Baltimore Sm*,) to see a decree
put forth that no European power was either to found a
new colony or extend an old one on the North American
ConUneuU There was no danger of war about IL Eng-
_ gland had executed a mortgage on Canada, Nova Scotia,
is an extremely small I Jamaica and her possessions in America, that she would
keep the peace toward! tho United 8tatee. Speln was
In about the same position, and all tho other European
nations had enough to do at homo. The time had come
when the title or an American citizen should be a pro'
teetlon to him in the enjoyment of hts rights everywhere 5
one of which was, the right to carry on tawfol trade with
any nation with which vie are at peace. With regard to
Cuba, some thought that as long as she chose lo remain
a subject of Spain, she ought to be permitted to, but
whenever the people of Cuba showed themselves worthy
of freedom by asserting and maintaining it, and should
apply for annexation, she ought to bo annexed. The
same persona thought that whenever Spain should be
willing to sell Cuba to any other power on earth than the
United Stales, we ought to take her anyhow. If that
yens filibustering, they would find a good many/Wiias-
ters in the democratic ranks.
Mr. Weller said he would take one step In advance
ofthe Monroe doctrine; that whenever a nation on this
continent was struggling for republican liberty, and show*
ed the ability to maintain It, bo would secure It to them,
not only by moral but by physical aid. As to removals
from office, If he were President, ho would cut off the
beads or all at once. Ho would not have this constant
squealing among office holders.

which streamed banners with appropriate devices, and

superintendence of Marshal Fleming, aided by the vigi
lance of the committee, every thing went off well and
■ happily.
The services In the Midway Church were commenced
with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Wihn, after which the choir
sang a hymn composed for the occasion. This was fol
lowed by a piece performed by Ruckkst’s brass band,
and then came the discourse of Mr. Mallard, which
( ; was Invaluable as a history of the county of Liberty.—
. After this, the corner-stone of the monument wsa laid
■ after prayer by the Rev. 0. C. Jonzs, and then dinner
was annpuncod. At the table, several beautiful and well
considered speeches were made by gentlemen of Liberty
r and others. Thus ended the proceedings of Monday.—
' Yesterday Judge Law was to deliver his address. Among
those participating in the festivities of this happy occa-
- slots, were twenty clergymen, many of whom bad come
from a distance, and even from other 8tales, to make an
. offering of their affections on the ancient soil where they
drew their birth.
The detachment of the Chatham Artillery, (14 men,)
- commanded by Lieut. Stxoks, were received and enter-
' tallied with the greatest consideration and kindness.
They left Midway yesterday morning, after firing a second
salute of 100 guns, and arrived la town at a seasonable
hour last evening. In going out, the Ogccchee Causeway
. .presented rather a formidable obstacle to tho passage of
their guns. It was quite covered with water, In on«s
■ unbroken aheet,whlch It took the detachment more than
< an hour to get through—the water in many places com
ing up to their saddle-girth* One of the guns stuck in the
min Just beyond the bridge, and U was found necessary
to send back extra borsee to disengage It. Happily,
■ Lieut. Stmons bad provided against Uie possibility or
such nn accident, by taking along extra trace chains, Ac.
. Jn spite of all difficulties, however, the detachment were
seasonably at their posts, and have returned with the
assurance that they have contributed something by their
• presence to the interest ofthe celebration.
Loss or tbs Sntr Geoeoia.—By reference to our tel

this port, CapL Brodie, has gone ashore anti will proba

- by a private despatch received yesterday from New York
by C. F. Mills, Esq., which stated that the Georgia was
lost, and the passengers and crew saved.
The Georgia, at the time of this disaster, was bound
from Liverpool to this port eta. Staten Island, where she
was to 'stop and land passengers. She had on board a
cargo of salt, and a quantity of pig Iron. 8be was owned
• In this city by C. F. Mills, Esq., bis brother, CapL Jab.
Mill*, now commanding the ship Florida, of this port,
,andCapt.Jonw B. Gallic.
We are gratified to state that both vessel and cargo

running between this port and Liverpool and Havre.

it upon the arrival or every steamer from Havana for
_^,cr*l month! past some Inflammatory story about Cu
ban affairs was communicated to certain presses In this

them exaggerated with all Ibe eloquence of typograph

were habitually treated with disrespect by the Sptnlsh
authorities Id that Island.
Those who scrutinized these statements found there
was nothing in them, that the Imputed wrongs were ei
ther no wrongs In themselves, or the reports of their
perpetration were false; but the object in making them
was attained, for the multitude do not scrutinize newspa

Cuba has committed some inexpiable offence against the

A Noble Effort.
We observe that certain young men of New York
have formed a “ Young Men's Christian Association,”
for the purpose of Improving the spiritual, mental, and
social condition of each other. The object of this asso
ciation is no leu than the prevention of the ruin, physi
cal and spiritual, which overtakes so largo a portion of
the multitude of young men constantly arriving In that
capital, who are destitute of Christian aeajclates and
connections.
There was a time, says one or our New York exchanges,
alluding to this Association, when the young stranger
was welcomed Into the fsmlly of bis employer, hut that
time has passed, and he Is now left during his own hours
exposed to the seductive Influences of a gay and popu
lous city, and If his mind Is not as unbending as Iron, he
is allured, In common with the young and old, into the
.various paths or vice. How many a youngman arriving
lirour midst fresh from tha parting ambrara hf a mother
and slater, and followed with the prayers of the pious
fother, haa been thus left exposed to the the temptations
of this populous city alone, with no kind voice to warn
him of bis danger and whisper words of encouragement
and consolation, and has thus been Insensibly and grad
ually drawn Into every species of vicious haunt, to bis
Irreparable ruin.
It appear* to us, that such assoctatIonswould,in nearly
all our cities, enter upon unoccupied ground. Of all the
numerous affiliated' societies so rife In this country, we
fear that there are very few which have such high objects
as these In view. Young men have a certain hardihood
and bravery, which induces them lo despise wholesome
restraints^ as something unbecoming or humiliating. But
this hardihood and this kind of bravery are uot natural
impulses. They are false sentiments, borrowed from
unworthy companions, and stimulated to an Indecent
and absurd excess, by artificial standards of conduct, set
up for Imitation by thoso already far advanced on the
road to perdition. In these cases, as In many otbet s, the
few lead the many. A band of young men requires but’
little leaven to corrupt the whole mass.
Under tho artificial view which obtains, U la consid
ered to be unmanly and chicken-hearted if one should
chance to forswear evil company, nnd live according to
the laws of God or the dictates of his own sense of rlghL
Comparatively few young men are capable of aucb high
determination when actiiq; by themselves alone. And It
la thla circumstance that renders valuable the principle
of association. It were much to be desired that the
well disposed young persons of our Southern cities
would sever the bonds which unite them to Arise opin
ions, and take a bold, free, and onward step in the plain
path of duly. It would rejoice ua exceedingly to know
that there were young men Id thla city, capable of enter
ing upon a course or life so fraught with happy oonae
quencea to themselves and comfort to their friends. The
path Is an easy and Inviting one to tread when once fair
ly begun.

If the nap Is a little short, and the rim half an Inch nar

Wanted.—Tho same number of gentlemen who are
members or “the three learned professions,” or In tho

three winters in succession, to running In debt for a new

brated Siamese Twins, who Mill reside at Mount Airy,
Burry county, In that Mate, surrounded by their wlvee
and children i
Eng haa tlx and Chang five children, all of whom are
S tacbotara and remarkably well behaved,maalftating
a strongest possible desire to learn tbelr lessons and
secure the good will or their teacher. They all partako
strongly of tha moat refined Siamese cast of oountanance,
form, and manner of deporting themselves. In truth,
they are a credit to their parents and tha community In
Chang atxMBng are alike remarkable for tbelr Indus
try and bellgereut dispositions. They are strict and
thorough-going business men, and woe to the unfortu
nate Wight who dares to Insult them.
Formerly they resided In Wilke* oounty, but In con
sequence ofthe numerous actions for assault and battery
brought agalntUheram the county, they romovedlnto
the adjoining'county, shortly after which th*y wtre
fined its and oosta, at Rockford, the county seat, for
splitting a board Into splinter* over the bead of a man
who had Insulted them.
As regards the supposed sympathy existing between
them, It may be stated that their most Intimate acquain
tances deem them to bo entirely independent of every
thing or the kind, and give as Instances to sustain their
opinion, that not long slnco they attended an auction
sale or hogs, and bid against each other UU they ran up
the prices altogether above the market rates. Also,
that on one occasion Eng or Chang was taken 111, and
took to hla bod, where bo lay complaining for some
time, although his brothor scolded him severely all the
while for detaining hint in bed when he ought to havo
been attending to the business of their plantation.
On another oocaslon, as they were passing up the road,
a gentleman Inquired of them where they were going—
whereupon Eng replied, u ( am golug over the Blue
Ridge In the stage;” at the same Instant Chang, looking
over his shoulder, replied with an arch smile, “I nm go-
bnckhomotolookaflerourwlvesandchildrcu.” When
questioned about their mother some time since by an
acquaintance, they stated that they had formerly received
letters from her, but latterly they had heard no tidings of
her, and even If they were to receive letters from her
written in the 81amcM language, they would not be ablo
to read them, as they had forgotten tholr mother
tonne.
They are excellent hands to carry .up a corner of a log
house—exceeding all tholr neighbors In cutting saddles
and notches In cornsr log*—both of them wielding the
axo with a power and dexterity superior to any of the
most expert wood-cutters in this wooden country,—
When they chop or fight, they do so double trauaed;
and In driving a horse or chastislug tbelr negroes, both
of them use the huh without mercy.
A gentleman who purchased a black man a short time
ago from them, Informed Uie writer he was “the worst
whipped negro be over saw.” They aro Inveterate
smokers and chewera of tobacco—each chewing his own
quid and smoking his own pipe; It has been remarked,
however, In sup|>ort of the sympathy supposed to pre
vail throughout their systems, that as a general rule,
when one lakes a fresh quid, the other does the sume.
It U also gmerally admitted that there Is a marked differ
ence In the systems and temperaments of the gentlemen,
but still they almost Invariably draw tho same Inference
from topics lubnillted to their consideration, and arrive
at similar conclusions. Eng not unfrequehtly gives seri
ous offence to Chang, by Jesting him about his having
one more child than ho has. When shooting, (a sport
they are very fond of,) ono sights or takes aim, and Iho
other, It is said, pulls the trigger; now if this be true. It

Thursday, the 18th November, was the day set apart

All the troops, til the civic societies, til the foreign

the Horse Guards up Constitutlon-hlll, up Piccadilly,
down St. James’street, and by Pallmoll, the Strand,
Flectstreet. and Ludguto-hlll, to SL Paul’s. Spectators
lined the whole or the way. 8uch vast numbers have
never before assembled In these times. The avenues
leading Into the main line were crowded; seats were
placed in all tbo \ytad 0 * 8 ) and filled; the housetops
were covered; balcoulos, parapet*, Projecting ledger,
lamp-posts, Indeed every avultable holdlng-pluco had its
complement of the crowd.
The clubs were almost devoted to ladles. The prince

and decorations of the various British and Foroignorders
which the Illustrious Duke was entitled lo wear.
Reposing on cushions resting on the lower frelzo were

At a quarter past twelve, the Bishop of London and
the Dean of St. Paul’s, leading tbo clergy and the choir,
>roceeded slowly up the nave, from tho orgun to tbo on-
ranee, to receive the remains ofthe great Duke. Clothed
n while, with black bunds and sashes, tho proconslon.
thus headed, moved in two streams of two and two
through the dignified and richly attired assemblage, till
they halted at the door, where they drew up In column
four deep. A considerable delay took placo in removlug
tho coffin from the funeral car, which tended aomuwhat
to Impair the effect ofthe solemn ceremonial.
For nearly an hour this untoward stoppsgo excited the
anxiety of the spectators, who could not understand the
cause of It; but at length there was a universal hush, and.
aa ir moved by ope mind, the whole of the vast assem
blage stood up In respectful grief, as the coffin which con
tained tho remains of the great Duke appeared In sight,
preceded by the choir with measured tread, as they
chnunted too beginning orthe burlul service by Dr. Croft.

Tho IiOho* Island* Dispute*
Tbo official correspondence that has recently taken
place between the American Secretary of Stale, Mr. Ev-
erelL and Mr. Osma, Uie Peruvian Minister, has Just been
published, and confirms, In every particular, the an-
nouncoment that all differences between the two gov
ernments, touching tho guano dlspnte, are happily ad
justed. The correspondence Is brief aud buslneas-llke.
Mr. Everett, under date of November 16th, summarily
recalls Uie past negotiations on ik» auhJect,. and. then
goes on to state that the transmission by Mr. Clay, our
Chargi at Lima, of certain documents and communtcv
Uoua which throw much tight on the history of the
islands, had incllued the President to think fovorably of
tho UUes of Peru to the sovereignly of the Lobos. Mr.
Osrna’a reply Is couchod in the most courteous and
friendly terms. Wo quote:
“Tho undersigned cannot but express to his excellen
cy, Blr. Everett, tho satisfaction wllh which ho has learnt
the resolution which has been made known to him, and
which, in his opinion, proves Uie impartiality of hts
government In tne examination of the question, whllo,
attbe samo time, It Justifies the confidence with which
that of Peru appealed to Its Intelligence, and its respect
for the rights or a friendly nntion. In theso circumstances
the undersigned would fear that he did not acknowledge,
In a proper and befitting mannor, the scntlraenta con
tained lu tho note of hiiwtr" ** “ -*•-**--
not. In hla
celves the r .....
made to him, In fovor or the vessels dispatched by the
citizens of the United States to tho Lobos Islands,under
tho Impression that they could freely take guuno.”
Mr. Osma thou goes on to "offer to Hon. Mr. Everett,
In tbo name of hla government,” the terms on which Iho
Peruvian government would, on Its own account, freight
tho vessels of the United States that might have been
dispatched to the Lobos Islands—and on which terms
the afialr was happily adjusetd.
Louis Napulron.—'The New-York Coarfsr d- En
quirer thinks the world has boon greatly mistaken In the
character of Louis Napoleon, and (hot the world is be
ginning to find it out. In tho course of Its remarks, the
CoNrfersays:
"It so happened, that when in the winter of 1830 he
landed In this city from Brasil, where lie hod been ex
iled by Louis Phflllppe, wo were the first ncqualntanco
he made In the country: and his first evening In the
Uuited States was spent at our table, In company with
General 8cott and other guests. This clrcumstaDce waa
tho cause of our seeing much of him whllo lu this coun
try; and we subsequently saw a groat deal of him In
London. The result or our Intercourse wnsn conviction
that he was a man of for greater talent than the world
gave h m credit for, and that considering the peculiar
chnracter of tho French pcopto, It was Impossible to
predict his future. There was ono man in England, how
ever, who foresaw and predicted tho future of Louis Na
poleon; nnd that matt was the late Sir Robert Peel. Ho
saw more of the exile than any of the statesmen of Eng
land; and he declared him not only to bo a man of ex
traordinary talent, but boldly predicted that If ho lived,
’lie would inevitably bo at the head of tho French
nation.’”
The Courier goes on to stale Its opinion that there Is
great danger In tho future to England, of an Invasion by
France, and to show that the creation of tho Empire Is
with the.fUll sanction of Russia and Austria, although
they pretend to deprecate IL
A Novel and Interesting Case.—A ease which
presents some novel points, Is now under consideration
by tho authorities of New York. Tho circumstances
are In brief, as follows:—The British ship Fitzjamcs,
Capt. Hoyt, arrived at quarantine, on Wednesday night,
having on board among other passengers ono wounded
man, a Jew named Dreslncr, a native of Poland, and
.fliwM Mamet AuguBitne Durr, it appeared
that those men, when tho ship was about thirty miles
from Sandy Hook, had a discussion on religion, nnd
thnt In the excitement nurr stabbed the other with a
dirk knife. Tho wounded man was sent to the Hospital
on Staten Island, and tho other given Into tho custody
or offleor Keefe, one ofthe chiefs aids, who now holds
him in tho Third Word Station Houso. The U, States
authorities say they have Hojurlsdlctlon in Iho cose, as
Ihe murder, If It shall prove to be, wua committed under
tbe British flag. There aro two other passengers In cus
tody as witnesses, Patrick O’Sullivan and Hugh Savage.
This case, It Is thought, will Involve some new questions
of International Jaw. In tho meanUrao the British Con
sul has been notified ortho Imprisonment of those three
persons, and we supp<Me that ho will take measures to
have the prisoners sent back to England.
Tho Presbyterian says that that venerable and useful
servant of God, tbo Rev. Jour &IcIntyre, rested from
tils labors on tho 17lh ulL, at the residence of hla son-in-
law, Blr. Alexandre Purcell, In Robinson, North
Carotins, In tbe ono hundred and third year or bid age.
It is comparatively seldom that wo hear or a Bllnlster of
the Gospel reaching his three-score and ton; but here was
venerable man or God who had been spared to wear
the harness for more than a century.
JAFAR.-Thero are two Emperors of Japan; the tem
poral Emperor has the seat of his authority at Jeddo; the
Ecclesiastical Emperor reigns at Bfacao, at descendant
of the Sun Goddess, the tutelar deity of Japan. No Ja
panese born dare go out of the country, nor any ship or
boat or Japan sail from tbelr shores. All Japanese who
return home from abroad are liable to suffer death.
■A Female Operator.—Bliss Susan R. Sutherland,
of Newark, Wayne county, Now-York, a handaomo
young lady, is tho regular operator or the Moan tele
graph lino at that placo. Sho was taught by her brothor
Ihe mysterious dots and dashes, who is also an operator.
There are, wo understand, several female operators In
the country. Ono at Washington, on the Western lino,
Is stated to be a very accomplished lady.
TusDpRR Troubles in Rhode Island.—Col. Dls-
pean, ono of the officers under Gov. Dorr si the time of
the troubles In Rhode Island, and who was arrested un
der marital law by Col. Olney, brought suit against the
latter for trespass soonaftor. A few days ago Uie trial
took place, and a verdict was rendered In fovor of the
defendent, Involving tho plaintiff In costa to the atnounL
of $1,500 or $2,000.
Places to Imoide in Cotiiam.—There are 8,000 ho
tels, drluking saloons nnd dram shops in New-York, aud
the amount oxpended In thorn Is amazing, almost ex-
ceding belief, iftbe dally salea average $10each,which
Is a very low estimate, Uie amount will be $80,000 a day,
$9,400,000 a month, and $20,000,000 a year. Tho Now-
Yorkers certainly do "tako a llttlo something.”
