STEPHENS IN SAVANNAH.
Th Savannah Republican gives a brief sy
i. ;-- Oi Mr Stephens’ speech at Savannah,
" that paper says, was listened to by a
deii-< s y packed audience—the largest assembly
■'•r seen m Savannah. Mr. Stephens, al
though extremely feeble. spoke for two hours
and thri« quarters gathering strength from \

the Douglas doctrine of popular sovereignty.
Mr. Stephens announced in the conclusion of
his speech, that he did not regard the elect on
t Lincoln as a just cause of disunion, and
should oppose such a movement with all the
power at his command, let it come from whom
might. He should wait for an act of aggres- i
- an. and would then summon his countrymen

COMPTROLLER’S REPORT.
We are indebted to Col. Thweatt, our indefat
igable Comptroller General, fora portion of his
forthcoming report to the Legislature. This
shows the sum total of receipts into the Treas
ury for the fiscal year to have
been $1,165,162 78
Add cash balance in the Treasury'
from last year 288,768 00
Total Fund $1,453,930 78
Ihe expenditures for the same period were
$1,179,110 24, leaving a balance in the Treas
ury of $274,820.54. Among these expendi
tures are $404,292 10 on account of the public
debt, $204,732 10 being for interest. The re
ceipts show .$450,000 from the net earnings of
the State Railroad, being $30,000 more than it
paid into the Treasury last year. The expen
ditures embrace $250,000 paid to the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad 5117,000 redemption of
the public debt not due and $42,801 7$ for the
purchase of arms for the State. The public debt
of the State now consists of $2,073,750 6 per
cent, bonds, $72,000 5 per cent, and $525,000
7 per cents, making in all $2,670,750. In ad
dition to this liability the State is also bound to
subscribe, in the proportion of $5 to $6 raised
by private subscription, for as much as $500,-
000 more to the Atlantic and Gulf Rail Road.
As an offset to this indebtedness the Comptrol
ler shows in good assets, in stocks and bonds a
value of $807,025 besides the State Road prop
erty not valued, but which of course would
show a large balance to the State over and above
all her indebtedness at any conceivable valua
tion. The table of taxable values in Georgia
foots up $672,322,777 against $609,589,975 last
year; showing an increase of over sixty two
millions. The increased number of slaves over
last year is 6,669 and the average valuation is
$672,61 against $612,63. The increase in the
valuation of lands $12,217,075. and the average
valuation is $4,85 against $4,42 last year. Town
property increased in value $3,010,101 ; mer
chandize $2,045,506, and money and solvent
debts $ 11,211,557. We learn from the report
that there are twenty-five banks now’ doing bus
iness in Georgia, with a capital stock paid in
amounting to $9,028,078, on which taxes are
paid to the amount of $33,083 29. Five banks
have withdrawn from business with credit.—
Seven have been chartered which have never
gone into operation, and sixteen have exploded
to the damage of holders of their obligations.
The report abounds in numerous interesting
and important facts, throwing light upon the
operations of our revenue system and the finan
cial resources of the State, to which we have
no space to allude. Like all which have ema
nated from Col. Thweatt, it displays great in
dustry, ability and method, and a single fact
mentioned in one paragraph is w’orth more to
the reputation of this excellent and faithful of
ficer, than a column of encomium. Says he, “I
am happy to inform your Excellency, however,
that during my administration of this office,
the State has not lost a dollar on account of
any default of Tax Collectors.”
“MORAL EFFECT IN NEW YORK.”
The Herald of the 26th leads off in an article
well calculated to relieve all anxiety about the
result of the election in New York if any is
felt. The Herald says, in brief, that New York
will give a larger majority for Lincoln than
any other State in the Union ! The fusion
committees who are now in Atlanta, patch
ing up a coalition in Georgia for “moral effect”
in New York, may put that declaration in their
pipes and smoke it. Here it is :
“Common justice to all concerned demands
that this idea that “something may turn up” to
redeem New York should be abandoned. New
A ork will vote for Lincoln, and by a larger ma
jority, we dare say, than any other State. Lin
coln will be elected. There is no use in mincing
the matter any longer. We are called upon to
look this thing full in the face. The best that
our I nion forces can now do is to save all the
odds and ends ol the election within their reach,
such as Congressmen, Assemblymen and coun
ty officers. Lincoln will be elected, and all par
ties concerned may as well just now shape their
course to that event as to wait till the day after
the election.”
I’he same article, of which the foregoing is
the concluding paragraph, maintains the opin
ion we have ever held from the beginning, that
the only chance for a defeat of the Black Repub
licans lay in a harmonious nomination by the
democracy, and gave up the ghost with the col
lapse at Charleston and Baltimore. Says that
paper:
“When the representatives of the democracy
assembled in their national council at Charles
ton, the Presidential succession was clearly
within their reach. A substantial and signifi
cant popular conservative reaction had 'com
menced in the North, in anticipation of the
union of all the democratic sections, factions and
cliques upon a common Presidential ticket.—
Encouraged by this belief, the conservative ele
ments nobly rallied against the republicans in
Connecticut, a;.d ven c..nfod the State.
Rhode Island they did carry, against a picked
representative of the “irrepressible conflict,”
by a handsome majority. Had these Northern
popular manifestations in behalf of union and
harmony at Charleston been properly apprecia
ted by that Convention, there would have been
no difficulty in opening the way for a decisive
national triumph over the republicans in No
vember.
To this end the nomination of some such na
tional democratic Union ticket as Dickinson
and Stephens, of Georgia, or Breckinridge and
Lane, or Horatio Seymour and Jefferson Davis
without the entangling abstractions of any plat
form whatever, would have sufficed to lead the
democracy to victory. The so-called constitu
tional Union party Convention at Baltimore—a
mere waif upon the waves—might still have
nominated a separate ticket for the local pur
poses of the Southern opposition partv, but prac
tically it would have amounted to nothing.
The South would have been a unit uponthe
Charleston ticket, and the old line whigs and
American conservatives of Rhode Island, Con
necticut, New Y ork, New Jersey, Pennsylva
nia and Indiana, between that ticket and the
republican ticket, would have been at no loss
as to their line of action.
But the conflicting candidates and cliques at 1
< harleston brought that convention to a revo
lutionary explosion, and from that moment the
great Northern popular tide which had been
setting in towards the democracy began to turn
against them.
MELA N C HOLY' ACCIDEN T.
Miss Barnitz, a very interesting young lady
from Marietta, was thrown from a buggy in
which she was returning from the Fair Ground
yesterday m company with a young gentleman
and she was so seriously injured, that her life is

the horse becoming frightened and running a

TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 30, 1860.
Panic in the N. Y. Stock Market.—Tn the
early part of last week there was a small panic
in the New York stock market, which caused
a decline of six to ten per cent, in the specula
tive railway stocks. A reaction took place du
ring the latter part of the week, in which the
decline was recovered. The panic is attributed
to apprehension of trouble in event of Lincoln’s
election.
New Cards.—AY r e would direct special at
tention to the cards of Messrs. E. J. Johnston
& Co., in our columns to-day, and bespeak for
them a call. In their line, their stock is one
of the largest, most elegant and attractive in
the Southern country.
MR. YANCEY’S CINCINNATI SPEECH.
We find in the Cincinnati papers full reports
of Mr. Yancey’s recent speech in that city.—
This marked difference is perceptible between
the speeches of Mr. Douglas and-Mr. Yancey in
the Northern States. While Mr. Douglas has
devoted a good portion of each of his speeches
to denunciations of Mr. Breckinridge and his
supporters. Mr. Y'ancey has made his entire war
upon the Black Republicans, without saying
anything that could give offence to the Bell or
Douglas men of the North, being unwilling to
utter a word that might prevent a cordial co-op
eration of the three against Lincoln. YVe give
the conclusion of Mr. Y'ancey’s speech as we
find it reported in the Black Republican organ,
the Cincinnati Gazette:
THE THREATS OF THE SOUTH —REMEMBER THE REV
OLUTION.
The South has been threatened with your
eighteen millions already. One of your brag
gart sons uttered on the floor of Congress that
eighteen millions of the North would conquer
us. It may he so. It may not be so. Do you
remember a people who, something like eighty
odd years ago, only three millions in number,
scattered over avast extent of territory, unarm
ed, unofficered, unarmied, none of the
munitions of war, with nothing more than a
civil Government—do you remember that this
people threw themselves in conflict for a great
principle (although it was represented by dol
lars and cents), with the strongest power the
world has ever known—with twenty millions
of an armed people whose ships covered every
sea, whose victories were known in every land?
And yet out of that conflict those three millions
of freemen came victorious. God grant that
there never shall be a battle between the North
and the South I (Cheers.)
A PRAYER FOR CONCORD.
May a wise and good Providence, in Elis mer
cy see to it that we, born to brotherhood, shall
never grapple with each other as enemies
(Cheers.) May that spirit of justice and of truth
which prevailed among our common ancestry
yet be ouis in the loyal bosoms the great hearts
of this people; and may they respect us as our
fathers respected each other.
A PLEA FOR CONCORD.
They came out of the Revolution, gentlemen,
bound together with affection such as few peo
ple ever knew’, from the remembrance of an hour
of common trial, of “the hour that tried men’s
souls,” the remembrance of suffering and of
wrong, and of defeat, and of depressed hopes,
and of the hovering of dark, inky despair over
the whole of our country, and of the sun beam
ing on their heads a free people. And when
they met in common council, respected each
other’s rights, only knowing that there was a
North and a South in order that the North
might do justice to the South, and that the
South might reciprocate in a fraternal feeling of
our ancestors. Why cannot it prevail now?
Are we better than they ? Are we wiser than
they ? Have we bigger objects to attain now
than they had? Can you obtain anything, gen
tlemen, by destroying, even if you are able, my
section, save the memory of a great wrong
that would haunt you through eternity? (Ap
plause.) I admit that you have the power.—
Eighteen men against eight would, be likely un
der the ordinary circumstances of life to prevail.
DO NOT RUIN US AND YOURSELVES.
I will not undertake to throw back to you a
taunt of what eight men may do who are an in
telligent and free and brave people. Were Ito
do so, 1 should be unworthy of the occasion,
unworthy as were the threat that I now throw
down at my feet. But if you have power, ex
ercise it like men. If you have intelligence,
show it in the manner in which you administer
this government. If you have justice, let jus- 1
tice prevail though the heavens fall. (Cheers.) I
But do not, my friendsol' the North—l say it 1
before you in no spirit, gentlemen, of servile
submission to your power or servile acknowl
edgement of that power, for as God rules 1 have
no fear of it, however much 1 respect it—but
do not merely because you feel that you have
got power, do not wreathe your arms round the
temple of our liberties, and like a blinded Sam
son bring down that great temple on your heads
as well as ours. (Tremendous cheering.)

New York Politicians at Figures.—The
probable result of the presidential election in
the State of New York is, of course, a subject
of profound interest. The New York politi
cians, we see, are busy figuring out what they
profess to believe will be the result. TheJiw
nal oj Commerce contains two estimates, one
from a democrat and the other from a republi
can, both of whom are said to be unusually
well informed concerning the political condition
of theJState. The democrat claims a majority
of 15,700 for the union or fusion ticket, while
the republican concedes a majority’ of 500 for
the same ticket. The Tribune, however, re
views both estimates at length, and after ridi
culing them, gives its opinion that Lincoln’s
majority in the State cannot be less than 40 -
000, and may be higher. Intelligent readers,
oi course, make due allowance for the political
not offiy of the Tribnne, but ot two wri
tirs tor the Journal of Commerce, and await
vember ,Pt * ht * bal,ot box on the 6th of No-
. ; From the St. Louis Democrat.
Lindell Hotel, St. Louis—the largest in the
World.
One of the wonders of the world is now this
great hotel, which has just been roofed in, and
approaches completion. Nothing like it, in size
. or completeness, exists on the American conti
nent, and as no European, or other hotels, equal
ours in these respects, of course it is the largest
> in the world. The large “Metropolitan” of
New York overtopped the “Astor,” and the
“Fifth Avenue” of later date surpassed this in
dimensions and modern improvements. These
t again were all cast in the shade the past vear
. by the magnificent “Continental” of Philadel
phia, which, until the “Lindell” was erected,
was certainly not excelled in America. The
1 “Continental” is six stoics in height, ex
clusive of the basement, presents a front of
170 feeton Chestnut street, 235 on Ninth, and
194 on George street. Bii, extensive as is the
; “Continental,” our own “Lindell” largely ex
ceeds it, being seven stories high, exclusive of
! the basement; its height ujpm sidewalk, 112
! set t \ v T / „
. Washington avenue i 5272 feet; its depth from
; Washington avenue to Green street, 227 feet.—
; The fronts on YVashington avenue and Sixth
■ street are faced with cream-colored magnesian
. limestone, elaborately finished; that on Sev-
enth street with the finest stock brick, with cut
, stone ornamental window trimmings. ’ The two
dining rooms, (yvith carving room between,)
easily throyvn together, lor dancing or other
public festival purposes, are 233 feet in length,
by 45 feet in width—evidently the largest in the
world. On the same floor, and contiguous, is a
kitchen, 60 feet by 46, and 20 feet high. This
hotel can accommodate with ease 1,200 persons.
Some idea may be formed of its great extent by
a few statistics of materials used in its construc
tion. The brick laid in its walls number eight
millions, sufficient to pave an erca of more than
thirty-eight acres. This is in addition to 8,000
perches ofrubble stone in the foundation, 3.5JJ00
cubic feet of cut stone in the fronts, and other
stone (in all costing over $100,000.) The plate
glass in the windows would cover an acre of
ground, and the floors between seven and eight
acres. If a boarder desires to take a walk
through the wide and lofty corridors before
breakfast, he may travel one and a quarter miles
without going over the same floor twice. Be
sides ihe marble flooring and other flagging,
300,000 feet of lumber has been used in its floor
ing, and it will require BG,OvO yards of carpet to
cover them. Liiirty-two tons ot sash weights
are to be used. Some 16,000 feet of gas pipe
are required to light it, yvith many thousands of
burners; 120,000 pounds lead’, and 30,000
pounds of iron pipe to supplv it with water, be
sides that for heating it. Forty to fifty miles of
bell wire will be required. The actual cost of
the building, unfurnished, is over $600,000;
which, with the ground, now valued at $326,-
400, makes the whole value in round numbers
one million dollars. It has just been leased for
a term of fifteen years, to the Messrs. Leland,
of the “Metropolitan,” New York, on very favor
able terms to the lessees. The design is Ital
ian, a most ornamental and showy style. The
centre compartment of the XV’ash'ingfon avenue
front has a a magnificent portico, tyvo stories in
height, of Roman-Corinthian style. The large
fluted Corinthian columns, of cast iron, which
support the main entrance, are 23 feet 8 inches
long, nearly nine feet in circumference, and
weigh nearly six tons each—probably the
largest ever east. These columns stand on stone
pedestals, and are capped yvith highly orna
mental cast-irons imposts, making them
stand 36 teet high.
Potatoas AT THE Wesi'.—The Davenport
(Iowa) Democrat says:
“If any body wants to see potatoes by the
cord—good measure—let them step down to the
levee. There is not shipping enough at this
time on the Upper Mississippi to move them
away as fast as they accumulate. Farmers
complain a little that the price is too low; but
they are the only party to blame; if they want
higher prices they must not raise so many.—
The market, pi ice is from twelve to fifteen cents
per bnshel.”
Fast Transatlantic Steamers.—Com. Van
derbilt is about to build two last passenger
steamers for his transatlantic line. They are
to be of wood; length 406 sees, beam 55 feet,
and depth only 17 to 18 feet. The decks will
be as thick and solid as the bottom of the ship,
ami the Beck houses will be constructed like the
side of a ship, yvith bull’s eye lights.

WRINKLE.
How Union-Saving is Viewed at the North.
—Perhaps the Belleverettites of the South
would like to see what the Northern Black Re
publicans think of their efforts in the cause of
the 1 nion per se. In a speech delivered at
Bangor, Me., on the 28th of August, Anson
Burlingame, the same man who declared that
the country needs “an anti-slavery God” spoke
as follows:
I tell you we have many friends, even beyond
the black border that separates freedom and
slavery. The gallant Etheridge, of Tennessee,
with Anderson, of Kentucky, Gilmer, of North
Carolina, and the daring, eloquent and chival
rous Henry JV’inter Davis, are with us in this
contest. They can not, at the present, act open
ly, but they are doing a glorious service for us
in the Bell and Everett ranks. They are divi
ding the South, and strangling the slave-extend
ing Democracy on its own chosen battle-ground.
1 tell you that these, whose voices are a bugle
call to thousands of followers, are, in their heart
of hearts, praying earnestly for our success ;
and when we shall have achieved a glorious tri
umph, and enthroned freedom in our national
hails, they will meet you with open arms and j
with us will plantour glorious banner of free
dom upon every tower within the black .for
tresses of slavery. I am speaking what 1 know.
X» ill you not, then, gladden the hearts of these, !
your friends, and unloose their hands, that they
i may join the phalanx of freedom that is to win
i successive victories, go on from triumph to tri
umph, till the banner of universal freedom
shall wave from the dome of the capitol and over
every hill and valley within the borders of our
glorious Republic ?
It must be consoling to the Belleverettites ■
to know that their self-sacrifices are apprecia
ted at the North. Surely, they are “prophets
not without honor, save in their own country.”

HEALTHFULNESS OF APPLES.
There is scarcely an article of vegetable food,
says Hall’s Journal of Health, more widely
useful, and more •universally loved, than tlie
apple. Why every farmer in the nation has
not an apple orchard. where the trees will grow
at all, is one of the mysteries. Let every fam
i Hy lay in from two to ten or more barrels, and
, it will be to them the most economical invest
ment in the whole range of culinaries. A raw,
mellow apple is digested man hour and a half,
while boiled cabbage requires five hours. The
most healthy dessert which can be placed on a
table, is a baked apple. If taken freely at
breakfast, with coarse bread and butter, with
out meat or llesh of any kind, it has an admi
rable effect on the general system, often i>rfioves
constipation, correcting acidities, and-rmilingotf
febrile conditions more effectually>fian the most
approved medicines. If families could be indu
ced to substitute, the apple-—sound, ripe and
luscious—for the candies, sweet
. incuts, with which their children are too often
indiscreetly stulfeji, there would be a diminu
tion in the SUnyrotal of doctors’ bills in a single
. year, sufficient to lay in a stock of this delicious
. fruit for a whole season’s use.

'"A GTorgi a Pistol. —Dr. W. M. Butler, sur
geon dentist, of our city, has invented a most
formidable weapon, for which he is now on a
visit to Washington City, to take the necessa
ry steps for a patent. This pistol is a breeeh
loading one, the action of firing reloading 16
times in succession. The principle upon which
it is constructed is a very simple, but ingenious
one, andjio doubts are entertained by those who
have seen it of its entire success. We hope to
be able in a few days, to chronicle its favorable
consideration by the Patent Bureau, and its suc
cessful introduction to the public.— Marietta
