It is said that $635,009 of tbt ORpitai Stock of the t'ompanv has alrcadr been received, and $lO9 900 more is shortlv expected liutn TjluoHr/ private subscriptions, and that these sums will be sufficient to complete the entire graduation of the road, the masonry and bridging (including an >-'H bridge across the Conga***', near Columbia), and furnish the cross ties ready for the rails. Bat uioaey is needed to supply the rails, rolling slock, etc , hence the petition. There dries not ap pear to be any reason why it should not be granted.

A BILL To lie entitled an Act to define the lia bility of debtors in certain cases. He it Enacted, That whenever any resident of this State shall he indebted for auy person hitherto held in slavery, whether by bond, bill, note, or open ac count, it shall be lawful for the debtor to plead the failure of the consideration by reason of tbe emancipation of said per son. And upon due proof made that the person or persons for whose service the said liability was incurred, has, in fact, been emancipated, the verdict shall be rendered for so much as the service of said person was worth during the time he or she continued to be enslaved. Merchants and business men wishing to secure Market reports through the United States and European News Association, will be promptly served, on leaving their names (during the absence of the Agent for a few days) with Mr. Pughe, at the Daily Press office, 190 Broad street. Another Liberal Offer.—Our friends of the Lottery business really place us under so many obligations that we scarcely know how to acknowledge them all. They seem to think a great deal of the Daily Press, but that is, of course, by no means astonishing, as everybody does that; and whenever they get a good thing they generally want ns t ) share it with them. The latest offer is from the liberal house of T. J. Fur niss A Cos., who are Agents for “the Havana Lottery of Kentucky,” and who propose to allow us, for the m oderate sum of $lO, to draw a few thousand dol lars, the only condition being that we shall show the “greenbacks,” when we get them (of course), to our friends. And our prize is to be sent either in t.ie shape of a draft or in greenbacks as we may choose. Now, Furniss, we tell you what to do. Send us, say SIO,OOO, minus the $lO ; and send it in greenbacks or spe cie by the Southern Express Company. Send it pretty quick too. and we shall put it ou exhibition for an entire week, delivering a lecture, including the read ing of your scheme at each lecture, be sides a ten line puff iu the local column, every day for a week. N, B.- As this is “a private and strictly confidential” affair our readers are expected not to mention it, as we don’t want the other papers to get wind of it and deprive us of the advantages of this generous offer. P. S.—An individual putting his hand into a furnace might get it burnt. The above offer comes from a Furniss. Our readers can make the application for themselves, if there is anv. iii.Aß.it LED, At Savannah, on Wednesday, the 28th of November, at the residence of tlio bride’s father, by the Rov. S.
