Stock of Cotton.—To comply with the custom
of counting tho stock of Cotton for our annual
statement, we shai! call upon tbo Merchants and
Factors for their Blocks to-day, and hope they will
find it convenient to havo their statements pre
pared.
We publish this morning the proceedings of tho
Railroad meeting which was held in this city on
yesterday, from which it will bo seen our citizens
havo sanctioned the new organization formed un
der the charter of tho Savannah and Albany Rail
road Company, and havo authorized our City Coun
cil to subscribo 81,000,000, or in other words, to
transforibe subscription authorized on tho 31st of
May last to this organization. It is, therefore, not
an additional subscription of $1,000,000 to that au
thorized in May.
The mooting was well attended, and a proper spirit
was manifested towards this great enterprise. Tlio
President, Dr. James P. Screven, and Col. Tift,
•ne oi tbo Directors, aro appointed agents of tho
Company to visit Europe to negotiate a loan with
tho English capitalists, who havo expressed a de
sire to assist in tho construction of the road.

day last, the down pussengor train from Macon ran
upon some cows near station 12, and tho Engine
was thrown off tho track. Mr. Patrick Burns,
tiro fireman, jumped from (ho engine and Fell down
the embankment, which waa about ton feet high,
and though not outwardly hurt, his internal injuries
vyore ao severe that be died iu about 21 hours. Tho
injury was probably to his spine, as ho last tho uso
of his limbe before ho died, and said they were des

put of machinery but not hurt. The care were
not thrown off the track, and of course no passon-

to the city, and an inquest held upon it by Coroner
Edik. The verdict rendered was in accordance
with (he above facts.

Tho Committoo on business submitted tho follow

Whereas, The groat questions which hnd hith
erto divided the Whig nnd Democratic nurtics ol
these United States, havo become obsolete, and
there exists no causo why they should be’kept open,
or mndo questions at issuo ; there loro wo, a portion

RIOM, who has investigated tho subject, has written
a loiter to tho Now-York Herald cautioning per
sons from having their lightning rodB painted. Ho

on buildings struck by lightning, and have never

method of making his acknowledgments for the

By the durning of tho steamer Cherokee at her
dock in New York, last Saturday morning, her
owners, Goorgo Law & Co., lo9t about $100,000,
nnd freighters it is estimated, lost about 500,000.
Tho Cherokee was to have sailed on Saturday ar*
Iornoon for Havana and New Orleans, and had a
valuable cargo, principally for Havana, shipped by
about 400 New York houses. Tho origin oi tho
fire is not known.
The New Fork Money market on Saturday was
much easier, and tho demunds for the trade
were fully supplied and rates of interest aro lower.
Loatis are effected with easo nt 7 per cent. The
government has succeeded in redeeming about $1,-
200,000 of tho six per cent, loans, duo in 1867 nnd
1868; and there is nut tho least doubt but that it
will obtain tho whole $7,000,000 in tho various
loans duo in 1856, 1862,1867 and 1868.
Scarcity op Silver.—Tho scarcity and conse
quent rise in vnluo of silver is thus accounted lor
by Mr. D’lsraeli, tho English Chancellor of the
Exchequer.
First, while thu annual production of gold has
quadrupled, the yield of tno silver mines lins re-
muiiH-o stationary, und ns tho influx of gold has
given an immense expansion to business of all
kinds, nnd increased tho demand for every com
modity, silver being no more plentiful now than
formerly, has become proportionately scarce. Sec
ondly, in Holland, und some other European stntes,
silver is the standard of value; and hence the ex
cess of exportation to those countries over tho im
portation front them, has to ho paid for in silver

Tub French Mission —Steam nnd the telegraph
have certainly afforded great facilities for business
in general, but we know of no department of busi
ness that has flourished more since these wonderful
improvements than tho trade of lying. Scarce a
day passes that we aro not in receipt of aomo "ape-
chi despatch," announcing reports, which nrecon-
ttadlotsd as false by succeeding despatches. Tho
talegvaph; with its lying rumors, disgusted tho press
•nd the people by announcements connected with
Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Walkbr. Mr. Buchanan
his finally "Jeft his country for bis country’s good”
*e hope, and happily ior the public, Mr. Walker
has bsen dropt.at least forthe present. The French
Mission seems now to be the absorbing theme !—
It was. reported that the Cabinet bad certainly
agreed to send Mr. Dix to France, and he would
receive hie credentials after the Hoothem elections.
The elections over, and the next we boar is, that
Dix is thrown overboard, and Gov. Cobb ia ap
pointed. This is again contradicted, and the Hon.
. is spoken of. Ths lest rumors on
tojecatg&t we find ia tbo New York papers of

a Harold further ndds: It is understood that

jaior : the New York Timaa has aepecU dls*
h from Washington, stating, that Mr. Dix is
oyerboard. and that Mr. Cutting’e chances
French M Won are improving."
I this dilatory nnd indecisive policy of the
irrtloPt’ ifan interests of the government
; v .are without a reproeentiitivo in Franco, no matter
^harerlsie tbetre fiiiy ihko. We can find np.aolp*
non of Pierce's course, except ho has some mere
porjp scheme to eubscrVe, which we think ielikely.
An AbolltionlMt (Jninnakcd.
Under this caption, wo find the startling intelli
gence below in tho Now York Post, o Democratic
Abolition organ. Wo havo more ihun once allud
ed to tho favoritism which nboliiionists have found
from tho Administration, nnd we have warned tho
people of Georgia against yielding implicit faith
and confidence in General Pierce because he was
elected as a Democrat. What will they say now
upon tho testimony of (Area Democratic presses,
that Gon. Pierce’s mouth-pioco, tho Washington
Union, ia an Abolition prussl Wo proved, four
years ngo, that tho Union had boon in tho habit of
publishing two editions, otto for tho North and
another for tho South; but now, it appears, that it
lias gone over, soul and body, to our enemies, and
is still tho organ of General Pierce.
The New York Post says:
"It ia just ns we said two or three years ago,
fact tlio two factions ar^ arraigned, now, in more
bitter nnd irroooncillnbU opposition than they over
ware boforo. Tho mkiner in which tho Pierco
Administration has dlslrihutod tho Fodoral patron-
ago, has contributed materially to this result. Tho
Froo.soilors havo majagod to obtain tho lion’s
share of tho plunder; nl the somo timo tlmt they
havo been "spitting o» tho plntform," which tho
Hunkers erected at Baltimore oxpressly to stand
President Ploroo upn,—nnd ovory body knows
that if ho had not consented to stand on such a
platform, ho could nivor have boon elected. Titus,
the Froo-soilcrs, by Iheir adroitness and cunning
havo contrived, at liaat in this Stnto, to got tho
substance of tho oliiies, whilo tho National Demo
crats tiro obliged to jut up with tho shadow. Wlmt
more exaspofUtcfi tho Hunkers, is tho course
of tho Washington Union in throwing what influ
ence it has, as the dlioiiil organ, on tlto sido of tho
Barnburners. Undtr thcso circumstances, then, it
is almost certain thatthoro will bo a general “smash
up" when tho two factions cotito to meet in State
Convention next moilh to nontinato a Stato ticket,
—resulting in ull proiubility, in a “ boll" of tho
Hunkers, and useparate" Whiteman's" or Nation
al Democratic ticket.
If tho Whigs now wire only wise, they might
walk over tho course wnh ease, und show tho
party clsnwhoro that" Whirgery” is not dead yet
in tho Empire Stnto. But alas J there are evil in
fluences at work in frcc-sotl quarters at Albany
nnd in this city, which look as if the only chance
the Whig party has left to recover from its dias
ters wus to bo imperilled in advance. But on this
head, more anon.
Tho Musical World, n weokly paper published
in thia city, and devoted to tho arts and artists,
makes some curious revelations in regard to tho
manner in which tho system of puffing artists is
carried on in this city. It charges nil the respecta
ble dailies, oxcopt the Poaf, with having been
bribed to puff Madame Sontng, during her profes
sional career in'this city, to tlio extent ot $15,000.
Tho only papers that haw replied t<» the article in
tho World are tho Journal nf Commerce und
Herald—both deny tho k»1i impeachment, and tho
former offers to give $100 for every 81 that ntt in
vestigation will show that it has received. Every
body that knows that journal, is well aware that it
is not in tho habit of noticing dramatic and lyrical
artists in its columns, nnd could not therefore havo
! been bribed. I rather doabt, however, whether the
j other pnpore thus nccuscd will come out as " clean
' handed." It is pretty well understood hero that
; most of the foreign musical artists get pretty well
fleeced by tho geniuses yelept oyster-house critics,
who are attached to some of tbo daily journals.
Three siBturs of Kossuth nro now living in this
city—one keeps a bourding houso in Irving Pluce,
and tho other two aro about opening a silk nnd
laeo store in Broadway. Ono ol thqin ia, within a
short period,a widow ; her nnmo is Madame Mes-
selengi. It is said that they are Very poor, though
it is but three or four years since they were living
in oppuloneo. 'These three homeless women evince
n fortitude that is in striking contrast with their
begging, humbug brotiicr, and I trust they will
meet with u generous support.
It is now* certain that Col. Forney is to assume
tho editorship of the National Democrat of this
city, and I am Informed that some $66,000 havo
been rnised by tho party to back up the concern,
ft needs it. Burr is fishing for a fat mission

For his own pari, ho bolioved in tho binding foroo

ment ol Mr. Suundcru, becuuso ho didn’t doubt
tlmt ho was sound on all thoso subjects. Ho had
great respect for Young America, whoso extreino
opinions ho did not doubt would bo tempered by
tho frosts of ago. But whilo wo were congratu
lating Mr. Saunders on his appointment, wo
ought not Jo forgot tlio distinguished Chief Magis
trate from whom it was received. Ho begged,
therefore, in concluding, lo propose the health of
The President of the. United Stales.
Sydney Webster, Private Secretary of the
President, responded to this sentiment.
Mr. Webster said that a distinguished, though
very modest gentleman, Colonel Ward, of Georgia,
hau seemingly boon overlooked at tho festive board,
and that bo took pleasure in bringing him forward,
with tbo hope tlmt ho would respond to tho toust,
which ho would offer, to his health.
Tho compliment was received with three cheets
for Col. Ward, who arose, and in a most poetic
und happy manner answered to tho .cull. Ilo al
luded to our foreign relations, " Young America,’’
and tlio Democracy of Europe, pcrtectly ugreeing
with tho distinguished Editor of tho 1 intes, who
had so freely expressed his sotltimonts on Democ
racy in Europe, and whom, bo thought, wus tlio
best sj ccirnon of “ Young America." that ho had
met with, lor a Northern man. Tho sentiments
of Mr. Raymond would moet with a hearty re
sponse, South and North, and the Democracy of
Europe would greet him with a hoartlclt enthu
siasm.
Col. Ward, after concluding, called on Mr.
Riley, formerly Editor of tho Democratic Review,
whose witticisms ami native humor kept tlio table
in a roar. Ho said that Mr. Thrasher had culled
Cuba “ tho handmaid of progress" ; hu was not a
biblical scholar, but handmaid was susceptible of
two constructions; and if tho" Beuutv of tlio An
tilles” desired to bo wooed and won, ho felt con
fident tlmt" Young America" would bo the first to
propose, nnd ho was sure tho young gentleman
would not bo rejected.
At this festival tho health of Major Norris
was then drank, to which ho briefly replied. Ho
6»id that ns progress seemed to bo tho watchword
of the evening, he begged to mention one circunt-
stance which might convince them that ho also
was in favor of going ahead. We wore all very
anxious to cross tho ocean quickly, and were hail
ing with applause tho passages of cloven, ten and
nine days. But, ho said, there was a vessel now
on tho stocks in this city, nnd nearly completed,
which, ho ventured to predict, would, before tlio
first ol February next, make the passage from this
city to an English port in less than six days.
[Loud checrs.J Tide thing, ho added, was not an
experiment; it had proved to be a fixed fact, und
Mr. Saunders would probably receive a telegraphic
dispatch ut his ofiico in London, before tho 1st of
February, announcing tho arrival of a steamer in
less than six days from Now-York. A marine
architect und a mechanical engineer ol this city
hud been engaged upon this vessel for somo timo,
and it was now very nearly completed.

Discovery of nn Ancient American
Pyramid.
[From tho Plncervllle (Cut.) Herald ]
Travellers upon tho Colorado nnd its tributaries
have lung since spoken of tlto existence of ancient
ruins in different localities, embraced by tbo great
American desert, lying upon both, though princi
pally upon the west bank of the Colorado, and
between it and tho California range of mountains.
Even Baron Von Humboldt, during his researches
upon thoA merican continent,discovered unmistuka-
bioevidcncooftho existence,at somo greulty remote
period, of a race of people entirely unlike, und appa
rently superior to, those inhabiting tho continent at
tho timo of its discovery by Europeans.
These ovidences arc becoming every day more
nnd more conclusive, ns the energy, lovo of travel
and novelty ol tho American neopto lend theta into
earth’s wildest fastnesses, and over its most forbid
den,sterile and inhospitable wastes. We remark,
as above, on perusing an article from tho pen of our
San Bernardino correspondent, giving an uccoutit
of nn ancient pyramid, lately discovered upon tho
great desert ol the Colorado, by a party of adven
turers, five in number, who attempted to cross tlio
desert in n westerly direction from a point on the
Colorado, at least two hundred miles above its con
fluence with the Gila:—
S.uv Bernardino Valley, June23, 1853.
There has been no little excitement hero of late
among thu antiquarians and thu curious, arising
from tlio discovery of un uncicut pyramid upon tlto
great Colorado desert, and which hxes tho proba
bility beyond all dispute of tho possession and oc
cupancy, at some greatly remote period ot time,
of the American continent by a race of pouple of
whom all existing history is silent.
A parly of men, tivo in number, hnd ascended the
Colorado lor nearly two hundred miles above tho
mouth oi the Giln, their object being to discover, if
possible, somo large tributary from the west, by
which they might mako tho passage of the desert,
and enter California, by a new, more direct, nnd
easier route, inasmuch as there aro known to exist
numerous smull streams upon tlio eastern slope of
the ntountuins, that aro either lust in tlm sands of
the desert or unite with tho Colorado through tribu
taries heretofore unknown. They represent tho
country on cither side of tho Colorado as almost
totally barren of every vegetable product, and so
level and monotonous that any object sufficient to
arrest the attention possesses more or less of curi
osity and interest; und it was litis that led to tho
discovery and oxuminaiiou of this hitherto unknown
relic of a forgotten ago.
An object appeared upon tho plain tn tho west,
having go much the appearance of a work of art.
from the regularity ul its outline and its isolated
position, that tho purty determined upon visiting it.
Passing over nn almost barren sand plain, a diet unco
of nearly live miles, they reached tno baso of ono
of tlto moat wonderful objects, considering its loca
tion, (it being tho very homo of desolation.) that
the mind cun possibly conceive of; nothing less
than an immense stone pyramid, composed of lay
ers or courses of from eighteen inches to nearly
three loot in thickness, and from live to eight feet in
length. Jt has u level top of more than fifty feet
square, though it is ovidont that it was once com
pleted, but that some great convulsion of nature
bus displaced its entire top, as it evidently now lies
a Itugo and broken muss upon ono of ita sides,
Departed this life, on the Lord’s Dny, morning, nt
25 minuli s past six o’clock, 2oth lust., Mrs. ELIZABETH
GALLOIVA Y. of this city.
The deceased was a native of Auchtermuchty, FIFe-
shire, Scotland; was burn of Prej-bjterian parent*,
nnd consequently trained up in tho faith of the Church
of £coilund, but having her attention directed to the
Scriptures of Truth, she was Jed ufter n confession of her
faith in Christ, lo ho bnpttai-d by immersion, in His
name, nnd was united lo a Itaptist Church, of which
she wus, though voting iu years, un exemplary nu-inhtr,
manifesting tier faith by obeying the Commandinems of
tho l.ord; and to the poor and to (he offlicled of the
Lord’s people, she was Kind and charitable, according
to her menu* and thoir want<—thus munlfes lug her love
to iliem, not only in word, hut indeed und In truth.
And after her removal to this country, in 1823, she united
herself with a small body of disciples in this city, of
which she ban been n worthy member, adorning the doc
trine of God, her tfavior, by having a behavior becom
ing the Gorpel of Christ, tier’s was a religion grounded
on a knowledge of the Scriptures, which made her wise
unto salvation, through faith which U in Christ Jesus.
And us her time was limited, owing to her household
and other duties, whnt little time she hnd to spare she
devoted entirely tn die sprendlng of God's word, nnd
often she would ri*o early while it was yet dark, In or
der that she inlglu have tho more time for this delight
ful exercise; nnd the conrequenco wus, that during her
hint nine**, which was long and severe, ehe was enabled
lo bear tier suffering* with patience nnd resignation, to
»ay: “Not iny will, nut Thine be done”; Hint site would
say, that were It not for tho hope of the Gospel even of
a glorious resurrection from die grave, ull would be
dark ami gloomy; but as Jesus arose from die grave,
the first fruits of them that sleep, so ehe believed ihnt
ull who sleep iu Jesus will God bring with him when he
comes again. This hope supported her under great sof
faring*, not that alio viewed herself worthy, for she
acknowledged herself a sinner in tho sight of God, and
tlmt she wut only justified by grace, through faith In the
Lord Jesus Christ, for the finished work of Christ. His
death nnd resurrection was that, and that only, on which
she dopetulcil for the pardon of all her sins, nnd ac
ceptance wilts God, ami a glorious resurrection from
the grave. Therefore, ns sho expressed herself to her
husband, durlrn? the In st nlgM of her I lines*, “ Jesus
is precious tome." As she lived, so she died; she
lived tho life o( the Righteous, nnd consequently died
thu deatii or the Righteous, falling asleep in Jesus, to
awake iu His likeness when He comes again, leaving a
imaband nnd children to mourn their great loss, but to
her unspeakable gain. uug 3i

This pyramid dillors, in aomo respocts, from the
Egyptian pyramid. It is, or was, more slender or
pointed ; nnd whilo those of Egypt uro composed of
stops or layers, receding us they rise, tho American
pyramid was, undoubtedly, a more finished struc
ture. The outer surface ot tho blocks was evident
ly cut to nn angle, that gnvo tho structure, when
now nnd complete, a smooth or regularsurfaco from
top to bottom.
From tho present level of tho sands that surround
it, there are filly-two distinct layers of stone, that
will nverngo at least two foot; this gives its present
height otto hundred nnd four (eet,so that botoro tho
top wasdiBpInced. it must hnvo been, judging from
an anglo ot its 6iacs, at least twonty loot higher
than nt present. How far it extends bonenth tho
surfuco of tho Bands, it is impoBsiblo to determino
without groat labor.
Such fa tho ago of this immenso structure, that tho
perpendicular joints betwoon tho blocks are worn
away to the width of from fivo to ten inchos at tho
bottom of oaeh joint, anti tho entire of tho pyramid
so much worn by tho storms, tho vicissitudes and
ihe corrmlings of centuries, as to mako it easy of
ascent, particularly upon ono of its sides. Wo say
otto ot its aides, becauso a singular fact connected
with this romarkablo structure is. that it inclines
nearly ton dogrocs to ono side of tho vortical or por-
pendfcular.
There Is not tho slightest probability that it .was
thus erectod but tho causo of its inclination is' not
oasiiy uccout fad for. By who.njU what age of tho
•Id,. - * - ,J —
,and for what purpose,this pyramid was erod
ed, will probably forever remain a hidden mystery,
Tno party .in their unsuccessful attempt to cross tho
desert at this point.in thoir wanderings disoovord
othor evidences oi a nature that would aoent to
mako it certain that that portion ol country upon
the Colorado, now tho most barren, was once tho
gnrdon and granary of tho oontlnbntjtnd tho abode
of millions of our raco.
