Clatp, the duly authorized canvassing Agent for this State, for Benton’s forthcoming History, is at this time In our city, thus affording an excellent opportunity for all who desire to secure an early copy of the work. Our readers have already bad the pleasure of perusing several chapters, taken from the sheets, as they were passing throngh the press, by which they may judge of the whole. It will be a valuable adlitlon to any library. The AtHen.eum.—The fine bill presented at the Athemenm brought out a highly appreciative au dience. The whole company daily grow in the good opinion of the public ; and well do tbpy deserve to do so, not only for their own individual worth, but for the character of their plays, and the manner in which they bring theta out. Mrs. Crisp bos Indeed become an established favorite in our city. A good bill is out for to-night. Thb Circus.—A great crowd visited tho circus last evening. Tlte feats of horsemanship, and the performances throughout, were applauded in a man ner evincing the highest gratification. Many of the feataswere of a daring character, and the whole worth seeing. Comfortable seats are provided, and the ut most decorum and good order is maintained. * Beaufort Bar.—The Washington Star, of the 10th, says as the town of Beaufort is about to be made the depot for guauo, for the South, at the request of the twon council, the Secretary of the Treasury had di rected the late Capt. Rudulph, or the revenue cutter Hamilton, to make a careful survey of Beaufort liar, in order to obtain all inlormation likely to facilitate the entry of larger vessefs than heretofore, into port there. We understand that a cargo of guano direct from the Cbincba Islands, may soon be expected there. New Ships n»r Savannah. There arrived in this port, on Tuesday, two new ships built in Bath, Me., for merchants of Savannah ; one called the Consul, tho other the Coosuwuttee^- We yesterday took a look at them, and do not hesi tate to pronounce them creditable specimens ofskili in modle and structure. We first visited the Consul, no named in liouor of 13. Molynkux, Esq., British Consul for this port. Sho is a beautifully modlod ship—sits on the water like a duck, and when her vrlnga Mr* oprcmi we presume she will glide through tho element quite us gracefully. She was launched on the 19th October, measures 177 feet long ; 33 feet O inches depth of hold ; 35 feet 9 inches breadth of beam ; and registers 1,035 tuns bnrtben. She was built under the personal inspection of Captain Mills, who is to command her, by Messrs. Lahkibbe & Rob 1.N8ON, of tho best Georgia pino and Virginia oak, copper fastened throughout, and cost $00,000. She is owned by her commander and his brother, C. F. Mills, Esq. It is estimated that sho will carry be tween decks from three thousand nine hundred to four thousand bales of cotton. Her accommodations for steerage paaseugers aro ample, and her after ca bins present a most inviting apperance to those who, In these times, like the sumptuous fare of our steam ers. She can accommodate six cabin passeugers meat Completely. The Coosawattu was built by Messrs. Arnold & Co., launched in October, measures 173 feet In length; 34] feet breadth of beam; 22] feet depth of bold ; and Is 960 tuns burthen. She will probably carry 3,500 bales of cotton between decks. She is commanded by Capt. Paxton, and owned by Messrs. Wilder. Gallie, G. W. Anderson, Claohorn and W. H. Davis. Sho Is a beautiful model, finished and rigg ed in tbe moat approved manner, and will doubtless prove a fleet sailor. Her cabin and steerage passen ger accommodations are quite equal in quality to those of the Consul, and both ships are creditable to tbe skill of their respective builders and to tbe enter prise of their owners. We are requested by Capt. Paxton, of tho C’oo«a- 1oatee, to say that when twenty miles uffTybce light, on Sunday last, he picked up a ship’s ninall boat, plank made, and painted black! Nothing in or on it by which to idontily whence it came, or to whom it belongs. New Publications. Southern Literary Messenobr.—Tho December Humber of this old and ever welcome monthly is on our table, presenting a rich and varied table of coti- tents—suitable alike to the critleal aud popular rea der.

With an influential Board of Trustees and an able Board of Instruction, the Anderson Female Academy and Collegiutc Institute seems to enjoy that position and patronage due to an Institution of learn ing of its class. Tbe Southern States, especially South Carolina and Georgia, are beginning to see aud appreciate the importance of nut only sustaining tbe higher schools of. learning, but liberally providing for tbe mass or the people in the establishment of freo common schools—tho true nurseries of academies and colleges, and forming one of the main pillars of onr Repnblio.

W&K 1 . i ■ ’ Reports ortho Departments. Post Office Department.—In t^o multiplicity of documents Just now crowding upon is, Bays tho New York Commercial, we unintentionally let the report of tbo Postmnster-Gonorul pass without synopsis or comment. We take it for granted that some readers have not time, perhaps some havo lot inclination,— though the latter, wo hope, are few—to read tbe wbqlo of these departmental expositions tf tho condition of the country, and for the convenient# of tlieso wo en deavor to give an epitome of tho contents of each. The report from tho Post Olllco Department Is an important and not uninteresting document. It shows that there are 22.688 post offices inthe United States; 6,092 mail routes, thoir aggregate length being 217,- 743 miles ; and 5,663 contractors employed on tbo routes. The annual cost of mail transportation over 61', 892,542 miles, was$4,495,908, or about 7 cents aud 2 mills per mile. This includes58o,80G miles of trans- portion in California, at a cost of $143,214. In tho territory of Oregon tho annual transportation was • 108,274 miles, at a cost of $45£22, or about 42 cents per mllo. The Postmaster-General complains that tbo De partment has experienced great difficulty in arrang ing with certain railroad companies the terms of mail transportation the companies being disposed to demand exorbitant remuneration where they deemed they had tho Department at their mercy. Mr. Camp bell therefore recommends Congress, after tho first hearing tho companies themselves, to fix the scale oi prices at which each company shall bo required to transport tbe mails. There are upward of 200 railroad routes, their aggregate length being 13,410 Ihiles.— The cost ol transportation for the year has been $1,- 645,432. The Paciflo mail service is a heavy charge upon the Department, and tho appointment of an assistant postmaster general, with adequate salary, who shall take entire clmrge of that brooch of the servico, is earnestly recommended. The revenue orthe Postoffice Department during the year was $5,940,724, while the expenditures were $7,- 982,750. The Postmaster-General says that the com missions allowed to some deputy postmasters aro en tirely inadequate to remunerate them, or even to meet the ordinary expenses of tho service, which we cun well believe. Tho remedy asked is tlial the head ol tho Department may by law bo authorized to allow postmasters at distributing offices all reasonable ex penses in addition to their commissions. The amount of postage stamps sold during, the year otiding June 30,1852, was $1,316,563 39. -The sales during the year ouding Juno 30, 1853, amounted to $1,629,262 12, leaving in the bands of Postmasters unsold $198,605 71. Stamped envelopes were issued to the amount of $295,292 69. Mr. Campbell does not anticipate so great a defi ciency in the revenue of the Department at the end ot the current year. The expenditures are estimated at $8,716,601, and the resources at $7,568,859. During the year 4,011,011 letters, and 1,381,803 newspapers were conveyed between tbo U. States and Europe. Of the letters 2,774,423 were conveyed by the Cunard steamers, 1,018,345 by the Collins line, 412,117 by tbo Bremen, and 406,128 by the Havre steamers. Of the newspapers the Canard line con veyed 1,034,163; the Collins, 305,945; the Bremen, 3,613; tbe Havre, 4,987, and other United States lines 33,155. Tbe postage on the letters by the Ca nard steamers amounted to $325,200 33, and by the Collins, performing just half the number of trips, $106,065 49. Tho Postmaster General seems to anticipate the witlidrawl by Congress, of tbo.appropriations now received by tbo Collins line, and in that o*«e desires that he may be authorized to pay to overy steamer running between the United Stales and England, a fixed sum for each trip, tho trips not to*exceed a given number each week, and'thus throw the car riage of tho mails open to individual enterprise and competition. These appear to lie the principal Items in tbe re port that are ot general interest. There are oilier matters discussod that concern contractors and others. The Report ok the Secretary of the Interior. — ( The following is a brief synopsis of the main points in tho annual report of the department; The Secretary thinks the Land System is nearly correct in principle, and that in its detiHls it needs but little modification. During the year, 9,819,411 acres have been surveyed, 10,363,891 acres brought into market, and 1,083,495 acres sold. Tbe number of land warrants Issued up to tho 30th September last, was 266,042, of which there were then outstand ing 60,947. Tho entire area of tho public domain is estimated at 1^84,009,000 of acres. The purtiouin the States was purchased at the ruto of 14.41 cents per acre, amounting to $67,099,700. Add the Indian Reservation, valued at $4,250,006, and adding tho cost of selling land sold previous to Juno last, the entire cost, excluding surveying, amounts to $88,991,- 015. The whole amount accruing from tales up to Juun 30, 1853, was $142,283,478, being $53,299,465 more than tho cost of the whole. It is estimated that tbe amount which will have been realized for them, is tho sura of $331,181,369. The policy of bringing tho lands into market at the earliest possible day is strongly recommended.- The Secretary invites attention to the disposition of tho mineral lauds of California, tho unsettled Inihl- ness of tbo Pension Office, and tho frauds upon the same. The clerical force of tho Bureau of Patents, he says, needs to be increased. The present number of Indians iu tbe United States is estimated at 40,01)0 —18,000 east of the Mississippi. mw. • bbl to ohougn tho Um# of at MUlsagarille,wa*takenup‘iuL,.„_ committee to whom It had been referred, reported a aubstl-. tule for It, in which they consolidated alt Alls changing the times of holding the Superior Courts In various counties tn the State.

ThU afternoon the bill was put off for other business, and Is raado the special order for to-morrow, and will come up first of nil other business to-morrow. In IheHouse, the proposal of Mark A. Cooper to furnish the State with iron at a reduced price, If ho could get State bunds for the sum of $80,000, was discussed, and finally lost by a very largo majority—yeas 32, nays 72. The legislature has come to tho conclusion to take a short holiday of two weeks. Some persons supposo that this movement will not meet the approbation of Governor, and that he will oppose. Wo have heard nothing positive on thla subject, and do not know if these suppositions are well grounded. We think that tho recess will have a good effect In making tho members go to work with better spirits when they return. There Is a vast amount of business be fore the Legislature, and this business cannot be finished bofore the first of January ; and as the private business of most of tbe members requires their prcsenco at home about that time. It is nothing but just and right that they should be permitted to go homo and arrange their business for a new year. The resolution does not allow their pay to go on In the recess, and they will receive no mileage, conse quently tho State will be run to no extra expense by tbe recess. It the Legislature continues in session until the business Is transacted, without taking a respite, there will be so many members who will go home on leave of absence, that it will be difficult to get a quorum to proceed to busi ness. and thus the legislature will be greatlv retarded, while the expenses of tho State still go on. We think the move ment, upon the whole, a very good one, and seo no reason why some of the members should bo so muchafrald of their constituents as to vuto against it. t—* stn a candidate for the office of Sheriff or yobr county at; ihe pine Hon bn the first Monday tn January, 1854, and respectfully solicit your support., ‘ OOtW ~ . w ' > MICHAEL TtNNEY, v per «hr.

StotAW— 1 There was a feeble effort made to reconsider the resolution relating to ihe recess, but this was put down by the (’resident, who decldod that such a motion war not In order, and could not be entertained. Mr. Snffold reported a bill to amend tho Penal codo, nnd to add an additional section to the same. Mr. Miller—A bill to Incorporate ‘‘Bell Mill Factory.”— Also, a bill to provldo for calling a Convention at some time in next year, to change the constitution of this State. One hundred copies of this bill were ordered to be print ad. Mr. Moseley offered a resolution, as follows: That the Senate shall meet at 9 o’clock In the morning, adjourn at one, meet at three, adjourn at five, meet aguln at seven and adjourn nt nine; and also specified wliat should be done at each session. Tho resolution was not taken up. The bill for tho pardon of Elijah Bird csnie’up.and nftor Mr. Dunnagaa had spoken for tho prisoner, was put on its passage. The Tote waa a tie, yeas 41. nays 41 ; and as Its decision devolved upon tho President, he voted fertile pas sage of the bill, after making some very appropriate re marks.

Short first class paper is rather In demand at the banks. The general Impression is. that the statement of their business made up for to day will show a still further enlargement of their discounts. In the street tka supply remains good, and tbe current rates are nine to ten per cent for tue best billi. and from twelve per cent upward for those not so well known. The specie in tbe sub-treasury Is slightly on the Increase again, the purchases of United Btates stocks having been high during thn present week. On the other hand, the ex ports of specie are large, the steamer of to-dav taking out nearly nine hundred thousand dollnrs. principally In Ingots. Those are now selling at ft discount, aud at that rate with the present prices of exchange, there Is a small margin for profit In the transmission, particularly in cases where the shippers are their own insurers.
