Look out for the Abolitionist!!
Recent development* go to show that
there is an unusual number of the abolition
gentry prowling about the Southern route
try. at the present time. The followin’
items should be read and pondered.
has The Columbus Sun save, that one
Charles H. Bray, who hails from Boston,
was arrested in Mobile on the 2tth ult., by
one of the police, whilst talking to Fremont,
tree negroes, and favorable to the Harper's
Ferry move, and other matters of that
stripe, in a way not suited to a Southern
latitude. He was taken before the Mayor, |
who decided him to be a dangerous charac
ter, and thought a colder climate would
bast accord with his views. Brav was or
dered to give bond of SSOO, or leave. The
public would do well to be on the lookout
for him. and keep him moving Northward.
BTTbc Wilmington Journal says: We
learn that a uian who had been in George
town, S. C., during a good part of the last
Summer on the plea of ill health, left last
Friday it being intimated to him that it
might save trouble to the community and
danger to himself. He was a man of fine
personal appearance, remarkably intelligent,
and of gentlemanly manners ami address.
Circumstances left no doubt of his charac
ter as an emissary of those opposed to the
institutions of the community,in which he
was a sojourner. The Harper’s Ferry affair
has aroused Southern vigilance, and Hie bus
iness of emissaries will be fouud “extra haz
ardous.”
A writer to the Pee Dee Time*, whose at
tention has been attracted by the publica
tion of one of the letters found in Bronx's
carjiet bag, addressed to Aloxzo G. Brad
ley, communicates the followinging to that
paper:
Some time in Joly or August last, an in
dividual who subscribed his name J. W. Brad
ley. made his appearance in our town and
took up his abode at one of our hotels. He
said be bad been a practicing lawyer in New
York, and had come to Georgetown for his
health, where he intended to remain six
montlis, and had no objections, during this
period, to engage in teaching, or in the more
arduous laliors of his profession. He ap
plied for a situation as teacher to one or
two gentlemen, and perhaps proposed a law
copartnership with other*. He was without
any letters of recomendation when he ar
rived, and afterwards obtained only one
such letter from a man m New York. He,
of coarse, procured no situation. During
his stay here he amused himselt by seeking
information in a general way about the pop
ulation, habits, Ac., of the district and its
citizen*. He had cotne, he said, by the ad
vice of his physician to remain six months,
and intended to do so—at all events he
would stay until the Charleston Convention.
He was a devout attendant at church Ac.
So matters stood until the report of the Har
per's Ferry difiicuity became public here.
• * * * *
The accounts which reached our town on
Saturday morning stated, in a reference’ to
the Harper’s Ferry affair, that sundry let
ters and documents had been found among
the papers of the insurgents, and oar pereg
rinating attorney took French leave of the
place on Saturday eveurng without footing
his bill at his bote!. May not, therefore.
Alonzo G. Bradley be J. W. Bradley (?) the
abolitionist to whom the inclosed letter is ad
dressed ? And if so, does it not stand us in
band to welcome all such strangers hereaf
ter to “hospitable graves?” There is little
doubt among the citizens that this fellow
was an emissary in our midst. But as usu
al, we have waked up too late. Is it not a
warning to keep ever ready and on the
watch tower—with our senses about us
and our powder dry ? Bradley is a tall,
spare built man, complexion rather florid,
with sharp icatures—what is usually called
“hatchet lace”—dresses very common, and
wore while here a rather comical old white
hat He lef: for the N. E. Ik R. on Satur
day night last and may have gone towards
Charleston, as he was particularly anxious
when here to learn something about Beau

Fodorsil fan* of tli‘ *<iiili.
The news from Brownsville, Tex
as. which we publish to-riay, is of a
most extraordinary character. For
three or four weeks succeeding their
first murderous and depredatory at
tack u]on Brownsville, Cos rt in as’
robber band had liecu menacing the
place. At length, worn out by con
stant vigilance and alarm, and hav
ing received assistance from Mexico
—learning, moreover, that recruits
forCortinas were on the way, whom
it was important to cut off—the citi
zens of Brownsville sallied out to at
tack the beleaguering banditti. They
fell into an ambuscade and were de
feated, retreating into the town
again, which Cortina* was at the
last accounts more closely investing.
The citizens of Brownsville had
sent a most urgent appeal to New
Orleans for prompt assistance, and
we are glad to learn from the pa-1
per*of that city that the men and
transportation for them were secur
ed on theTth in*t.,all that was then
wanting being provision*?for the ex- j
pedition, which were no doubt soon
contributed. We have therefore ev- i
cry reason to hope that either from
the Texas Hangers understood to he j
on their way, or from the New Or- 1
leansrecru ts, aid will reach Browns- j
villc in time to rej*eal the assailants.
But how are we to account for the
strange apathy and neglect of the
Administration in this ease ? Mexi
can assistance was promptly given j
to our citizen* in the first conflict,
and has been continued to the pres- •
ent time ; hut no Federal force had
started for the *cne of action at the
timeof the la>t fight, though several
weeks had cla|*cd since the invasion
of Brownsville and the murder of its
people. Had intbrination Ikcii sent
to Washington that a -quad of “fili
busters’* were collecting at Browns
ville, though they molested not the
j*ersous or property of any of our
citizens, the flight of lightning dis
patches would have been deem too
slow to order the nearest Govern
ment troops to repair to the locality
and arre-t the expedition. But
week after week the Administration
has turned a deaf year to the ap|*eals
of suffering and Iteleaguered South
ern citizens for protection, ami they
are obliged to look for foreign and
private assistance ia repelling the
attacks of robbers and cut-throats.
We have heard a g**od deal lately
about dissolving the Union in case
a Black Republican Administration
i* elected ; hut we think a much
more pertinent and practical query
is, fan the South endure another
Northern Democratic Administra
tion ? Mould even Seward have
neglected the protection of the South
as culjwibly as But-hanan has done ?

We ha<l the pleasure of listening
to the *iceeli of Mr. Stile.*, in the
Hall of Representative*, on Thurs
day evening the 10th is*st. The ball
was crowded at an early hours, and
all listened with marked attention
fur one hour anti a half. The main
object of the speaker was to point
out the duty of the South in the
Presidential campaign of ISSO, to
expose the fallacy in the reasoning,
and the defection of.Senator Douglas,
and to show the inconsistency of
Mr. Toombs in the assertion that he
would sooner support Mr. Douglas,
if nominated by the Charleston Con
vention, than any one the Opposi
tion might select. His remarks,
were severe on both these gentle
men.
The exposition of the doctrine of
squatter sovereignty, as recently set
| forth in the widely circulated maga
, zinc of the Harpers’, occupied the
greater portion of the time. The
article in the magazine had three
fallacies, said Mr. S. Ist. That the
! condition of the people in the Terri
j tories previous to the formation of
a Territorial government, is like
j that of the jteople of the colonies pre
-1 vious to the Revolution. 2d. That
; the government of the United States
1 stands in the same relation to the
i Territories as the government of
i Great Britain towards the colonies.
2d. That the struggle in each case
was for the same end—namely : The
establishment of a local self govern
ment. The manner in which the
South hud been chrated and betray
ed by the Kansas Nebraska bill, in
troduced by Senator Douglas, which
hill aloiishcd the Missouri restric
tion, was severely commented on.
In conclusion the comparison was
made between tlie doctrine ofWm.
H. Seward, who sought to disposers
the jH*ople of the South of their
rights in the Territories by the en
actments of Congress, and those of
Mr Douglas, who sought the accom
plishment of the same end through
the agency of the Territorial L m
latures. Mr. Seward was like ; e
highway robber, who met you in the
road, and if he succeeded in overpow
ering you, took away from you your
property; while Mr. Douglas was
like the keeper of some house that
formerly was to he found in the re
mote west, who, by a sign-ltoard, en
ticed you in and at midnight, when
sunk to unconscious slum I hi-, plung
ed the poignard to your heart and
then securely took away your pro
perty. Which was the preferable of i
the two ? If onr rights were sub
mitted to Congress there was some
chance of success, since those who
sat in Judgment on them were
American citizen-, and a large por
tion of them from Southern States.
But wliat chance of success had the 1
South in the other instance, when
the Territorial legislatures were
composed principally of representa
tives of foreigners which the Emi
grant Aid Societies had sent to those
territories, in many ease* after
only a month’s sojourn in America.
For his part, if the Union must he
dissolved by the election ot Win. H.
Seward, he would rather see it go
down like some noble ship, the flag of
which, being the last thing seen
should unmistakable evidence that j
it was unpolluted.
During the delivery of the speech
there was much applause manifest
ed, particularly when Mr. S. pro
pounded the proposition that the
South would never submit to the
supj**rt of Stephen A. Douglas. Mr.
S. gave intimation, in the conclusion,
that there was one that might be
brought forward whom the South
won hi In* proud to support, who
needed no other platform to reecom
meiid him than hi* own sjtotle** in
tegrity, and the Conetitntion of hi*
country ; while Douglas would nev
be supported, even if nominated, on
so high a platform that hi- diminu
tive form would reach the skies.

Mr. Douglas’ .\e Hook.
Mr. Douglas ha‘. written a rvply to Judge
Black’s strictures upon his Harter article.
We have not and we do not intend to read
it. He and his doctrine? are both dead, at
least in lie* South. The feaiful commenta
ry of the Harper s Ferry invasion throws a
!;ght upon hi* faLe policy, that no logic
| e >ald shed. If the Southern people in the
State? need protection to their institutions
from the aggressions of abolitionists, how
much more must they need it in our territo
ries? S ipjiose that it had been the law in
Virginia that no protection to the slavehol
der* should be afforded by the Government
I of Virginia, or of the Federal Government,
what would have been the result of the late
• daring enterprise to produce insurrection?
Senator D ugla-*, by his false doctrines of
squatter sovereignty, would have our terri
tories placed precisely in this position. How
admirably it will further abolition designs
and p > ry must be most apparent. Let the
General Government be denied the power
to protect the slaveholder in our territories,
and let the territorial Legislatures, by un
friendly legislation, or no leg station at all,
put him at the mercy of such wretches as
Browx and Cook, and how speedily would
slavery crushed out o:’ a territory f The
Harper’s Ferry emeuie lifts the thin veil he
had woven over lit* policy, and shows it to
he quite worthy of Seward or Greeley —a
naked expedient lor abolitionizmg all of onr
territories. The South, we are satisfied, will
neither hear nor care any more about Sena
tor Douglas’ abolition sophistries; she will
assert her rights at the next Presidential
election, and Senator Douglas can go off,
if h pleases, to Senator Seward. The tact
is, i is of no consequence to the South how
any men or party in the North shall act in
the next Pre-idemia! election. The more
they are against the rights of the South,
probably the better.— Charleston Mercury.
Daring Attempt to Run off Slaves. —
The Pedlars. —Since the Harper’s
Ferry invasion the country people
of Virginia and Maryland have been
very prompt in ordering Northern
pedlars out of the States. A few
days since suspicion rested on a Dr.
Boyd, who has been for some time
pi idiing French goods, in Maryland,
and on !ii> last visit, to Westminis
ter, Md., his cargo was inspected.—
The Washington Star says :
His attention was “ailed to the
fact that a shoe was mis-ing from
! one of his horses, and while he had
jouuMvith the horses, to a blacksmith
shop the opportunity was taken to
l inspect his team. Amongst his
traps was noticed an oblong box,
i with some suspicious holes bored in
! the cover. Boyd, seeing that an
inspection was goiug on, came from
the blacksmith shop iu a hurry,
’ and assured the searchers that the
Ihx contained nothing hut “French
ifoods.” They choose to look for
themselves, aud ripping off the oov-
I er, lo ! there were enseonsed a negro

j clothing, etc., all things, necessary
to enable the darkies to‘keep house’

was large enough to enable them to
turn in it, i-ut not to sit up. Neither
>f these slaves are the property, as
stated of Clark Mills, hut the wo
man !elongs to a Mr. Howell, who
rents a place of Mr. Mills. Mrs.
Howell, of Washington, went before
Justice Goddard this morning, and
testified that she had visited the
Westminister jail, and recognized
the negro woman there, (who wa*
found Ktxed up as above described)
as he • servant. The District Attor
ney a a* consulted and he gave order
fora requisition to be forwarded to

Pickpocket Ai’rcMted.
The Augusta Chronicle k Sentinel of Wed
nesday says, that Officers Ramsey and King
-tieceeded, yesterday afternoon, in arresting
two out of tour pickpockets, who took up
their quarters in this city on Friday last, at
the Burke House, rtgi-tenng their names
as Samuel Burns and Thos. Connally from
Atlanta, and Cha. Thompson and Edward
Stone from Wilmington, N. C. They are
doubtles the same, or a part of the same
trang, who were so successful in their oper
ations at Atlanta during the Fair.
One of them was detected in the pursuit
of his thievish trade at the Circus yesterday
afternoon, and was pointed out to the offi
cers by a gentleman upon whom he had
made an attempt the night previous. lie
made a speedy attempt to escape, as soon a*
he ob-erved the officers in pursuit, but was
arrested near the Waynesboro Depot, and
committed to jaiL His name was not as
certained.
Officer Ramsey subsequently repaired a
-sone to the B uke House, where it was as
certained they were stepping, having in his
ha'.il a loaded guncane which he had taken
from trie one arrested at the Circus, and with
Mi Bi L. the proprietor ot the house, com
menced a s-arch of the bsugage of the sus
pected parti'**, when one of them entered
the room and demanded to know their bus
;ne *. Ramsey immediate y made an at
tempt to arr-t him. the p'ekpocket denying
his authority and showing signs of resistance.
During the li'gh words and scuffling w hich
ensued, the pickpocket seized the cane,
w hich had be u find upon a table, and dis
euarged it at Mr. Ramsey, the ball passing
through the fleshy part of his tbign, and in
ti eting a severe it cot dangerous wound.—
He was. however, overpowered and arrest
ed, and committed tojiil. giving his name as
Johnson.
The other two pickpockets, who arrived
in company with the two arrested, have
probably made their escape, as they were
not seen after dark iast evening.
There is a popular notion, says Dr. Nich
ols, that an li:slman cau drink whiskey.
It i* an utter fallacy. - A Scotchman will
drink them blind. A Yankee will drink
them into conniptions. Irishmen are great
and unequaled in many things; but whis
key drinking is not of their accomplish
ments, Whenever they attempt it they are
sure to be beaten. Invariably they get the
worst of it Why will they persist in at
tempting to do wliat nature has defied them
the power to excel in ? I insist that an
Irishman ts the last man who ought to drink
whiskey. The English swallow 32,000 000
gallons of spirits a year, and wash them
down with oceans of hale, “all-and-alf,” or
porter. Tne Irish, even with the help of
their Scotch -descended cousiqs of Ulster,
are barely able to worry down 8,000,000
gallons.

It i notorious, that for naarly a month
past, the Central Railroad lias been blocked
up and unable to furnish transportation to
carry forward the cotton crop from this
place and points beyond. Notwithstanding
its large numbers of Locomotives, cars, &e.,
with efficient and accommodating o ffieers,
it is obvious that one Road cannot do the im
mense and increasing business that is flow
ing towards the seaboard from the interior,
and which will go on augmenting yearly, as
Railroads are extended through this State,
Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi. At
th is place, the depot gates are closed against
cotton shippers nearly half of each week, and
the same complaints come from othej
points, and what is the ett’eet ? “Why in the
lace of sevaral advances in price from Eu
rope amounting to nearly Two Dollars a
bale, prices are barely maintained in the in
terior towns, for the reason the cotton can
not be got forward promptly to market, and
it is not only the cotton planter that suffers
every other department of trade is more or
less aftected. Now how is this to be reme

ment’’ is retained in the statute books of
this professedly t’kri.-tian Commonwealth,
all the benefits supposed to arise from the
example of such tragedies to the evil door
should be preserved intact. In other
words, the advocates of legal hanging profe.s*
to believe that such penalties deter men
from the commission of crime—that the
sight of a fellow-mortal dangling between
beaver, and earth, and being throttled in
to eternity, is salutary and promotive of
good morals ! This is the chief argument,
if not the ODly one, in favor of the penal
infliction f death. Now. why destroy this
benignant feature of the sjiectacle by having
executions done in private, where no one
can witness it, except the Officers of the
law ! Mr. Lewis said, truly, that “such ex
hibitions were vitiating to public taste —
vitiating to public moruls and did notact as
a preventive of crime.” Let him go then
for abolishing capital punishment, altogeth
er, as after that admission, every Christian
sentiment forbids that our laws shall be re
vengeful and not reformatory.
Mr. Deloney of Clurke replied to Mr.
Lewis, and said that “all the acts of our
Judiciary should he public. It was a horri
ble idea to him, that a man should be chok
ed off'in private. If a man is to be execut
ed. let it be done publicly, he wanted no
Bastile in Georgia. All the arguments of
the gentleman proved that hanging un
der any circumstances, was demoralizing.”
Several other gentlemen spoke in favor
and against the bill, and after some amend*
meals, was Anally carried by yeas 88, nays
00!
This is, perhaps, as much as could be
exjiected, at this vinae, hut we doubt not,
that as the public sense revolts, more and
more, against public executions, it will not
be satisfied with feeling and knowing that
the dark deed of retaliatory and vindictive
legal murder, is still a part and parcel of
the secret criminal code of our enlightened
and professedly Christian ]>eople ! The
next demand will be the abolition of the
Death Penalty xnd the substitution there
for of confinement for life, at hard labor.

Fire Department.
At the hour of midnight on Tuesday
night, the fire bells were sounded in conse
quence of the taking fir* of a small wooden
building, on 4th street, half a square be
yond the Brown House. I sprang out of
bed and jumped into mv clothes with my
usual speed, and after going direct to the lire
as fast as I could run from my residence, on
the same street, I found every Company
with their operators, and our worthy Chief
and his assistant on the ground, and one of
the Engineers at work, and the others in a
moment after were at work. The lire was
put out immediately, without damage to the
many close adjoining buildings. Now this
is nothing unusual for our Fire Department;
but whon it is recollected that this is the first
fire in about six months, and coming at that
hour of the night when every on<* is suppos
ed to be in their warm and comfortable beds;
it speaks volumes for the efficiency of the
Macon Fire Department. So thinks your

Removal of tin* Capitol.
MiLLEIXiKVILLK, Nov. ltth 1859.
Mr. Editor: The present Legislature af
fords the best opportunity for the removal
of the seat of Government to Macon, of any
session that has ever prececded it. The ac
commodations here are very imperfect, so
much so that complaints are tnade on every
side. If your citizens are alive to their in
terest, they will at once exert an active in
fluence in the subject of removal. The
members and the visiting public have be
come convinced that Milledgeville is not the
proper place for the seat of Government of
Georgia, and I believe, I speak knowingl y,
when I say the Legislature are ripe for ti le
question, for instead of improvements, in tl .e
way of accommodations, they grow misem
bly worse. It is believed that the friend s
of Atlanta will not interfere to defeat thi s’
desirable end, but will lend her influence
for removal to Macon. The present Stati’
House is, and always will be, a dead expense
to the State, and the sooner a large and
commodious Capitol, and one worthy of the
State is built, the better it will be for the
State and her citizens.

ArS Worksat the ft civ York Fair.
The Annual Fair of the American institute
till continue! to tbo close to attract a large
S’
nuiubei of I'tir citizens,and many visitors if un
the country. Added to the diver-ilied illus
trations of the Mechanical and the Elegant
Arts, the visitors themselves constituted no
uninteresting exhibition ; and the student of
human nature —when he had finished his in
spection of huge pumpkins, and the almost
infinite variety of dahlias —when he had fair
ly looked the needles of the unnumbered
sewing machines out ot place, and the fair at
tendants out of countenance —he might prose
cute his favorite study in a more general way,
with the living,moving, speaking, and clbow
inq examples before him, and perchance be
hind him.
At a Fair there is of necessity a very gen
eral and indiscriminate commingling of hu
man elements, without any regard to pre
cise form and useless ceremony. Moreover,
as the managers on the recent occasion did
not coniine themselves by any very rigid
rules of classification—in the arrangement
of articles on exhibition—we may imitate
them in our mode of treating the subject, on
ly stopping here and there to notice such
things particularly as may seem most worthy
to engage our special attention.
Illustration's os’ Photographic Art.—
It is now a little more than half a century
since the distinguished chemist, Sir Hum
phrey Davy, and a Mr. Woodworth, sug
gested the use of nitrate of silver in copying
pictures on glass. But there were no results
obtained, calculated to command general at
tention, until Daguerre made his discovery
of the process whereby images from the lens
of the camera obscura are reflected uppn the
chemically-prepared surfaces of metalic plates
This surprising discovery of the French Ar
tist—who thus made his pencil of the sun
beams—attracted general attention ; and the
new field, that opened alike before the true
lovers of Art, and the mere fortune-seeker,
was soon occupied by a multitude of ex
perimenters, only a few of-whom have either
achieved a decided success, or established a
permanent reputation.
Mr. J. Gurnet, who has recently opened
anew Gallery of Photographic Art at 707
Bread way. was among the earliest, as he has
ever been among the most successful, opera
tors in this country. As early as the year
1840 ho established himself in this city. At
that time the Art was but very imperfectly
understood ; and now. among all who were
with Mr. Gurtiev when he commenced his
explorations in this new and interesting field
of scientific inquiry and artistic achievements,
he ahne remains. Moreover, since the ad
vent of Mr. G., hundreds have attempted—
by some short method—to acquire distinc
tion ; but, one after another, they have dis
appeared, leaving no memorial, and even
their names are blotted out from the book of
our remembrance.
To accomplish any important results in
such a field, at once requires patient study,
delicate manipulation, and, withal, a natu
ral capacity for artistic discrimination, which
comparatively few possess, in a degree that
insures a lasting pre-eminence. Since the
first important discovery by Daguerre, per
haps no man lias done so much a* Mr. Gurney
for the development of that beautiful Art
through which the forms and faces so dear
to the hearts of millions, arc now embalmed
in light, and the shadows of whose living
presence are made tangible to the waking
vision, as truly as love has enshrined tlieir
memory as an undying reality in our souls.
To a strong love and a natural capacity for
Art, Mr. Gurney has added the results of
long and patient study and the most untir
ing industry. Having devoted nearly twen
ty years of his life to careful experimental
investigations, with the view of perfecting
that beautiful process which describes forms
by the liyht, lie well deserves the enviable
distinction which has crowned his unwea
ried efforts, and made him so conspicuous in
the front rank of American Photographers.
According to the Poet, who sings to us in
the new “ Golden Age,” such men a; Gur
ney are standard-bearers in the armies of
universal Progress.
‘•The man who adds a science or an art,
Or ne w invention, practically wise.
Leads the groat host; while those who only talk
Ol‘ what men did, are laggards in the rear.”
Mr. Gurney’s pictures on exhibition at
the Fair, certainly constituted the central
attraction, in the department of Fine Arts.
Some of his specimens of Photographic Por
traiture, finished in oil colors —and others in
pastel—for fidelity to nature, for force of ex
pression, delicacy and transparency of color,
and exquisite elaboration of all the details,
are unsurpassed—if, indeed, they are equal
ed—by auy similar pictures which have been
submitted to our inflection ; and we hazard
nothing in saying that they will compare
favorably with the finest illustrations of the
Art in Europe.
There is one sweet picture that represents
a fair form and sac by the affluence
of dark auburn hair, as twilight shadows
hover round thcmornii gstar—which, with
out leading us to forget the tangible objects
’of earthly perfection, is yet an eloquent sug
gestion of paradisal charms, and a warm,
living, and breathing incarnation, of essen
tial Beauty,
The utilitarian observer will be sure to
have his attention arrested bv the specimens
of Imrkoveh Gutta Peri ha Roofing. which
Messrs. Jouxs and Crosley, of 310 Broad
way, have on exhibition. Tin roof? are lia
ble to he soon destroyed by the process of
oxydation, unless they are frequently paint
ed, and shingles soon decay; but the Gutta
Perch a Roofing is free from all such objec
tions. Jtisutonee proof against the two
great elements which act with such destruct
ive power on the more perishable materials
that compose the roofs of many buildings, so
that while it is impervious to water, we are
also as-ured that one may build a fire on
his house-top without endangering his dwel
ling. At the same time that it opposes such
effective resistance to the elements, its great
elasticity secures it against injury from the
greatest possible extremes of atmospheric
temperature.
The expense of covering a house with this
excellent material is only about fifty per
cent, on the cost of a good tin roof, and it i*
confidently asserted by experienced builders,
that, the Improved Guita l’ereha will last
twice us long. It is also used lorcurs, steam
boat decks, etc., and may be readi’v applied
to an old house without the labor of remov
ing the shingles. It is. therefore, an article
of great practical value, susceptible of gener
al application, and it is doubtless superior to
any article hiiherto employed for similar
purposes.
John P. Gruber, of 184 Chatham Square
—manufacturer of Scales, “Weights, Meas
ures, Pumps, etc. —has some specimens of
his work, which perhaps surpass, in mechan
ical perfection, any thing of similar kind,
now or heretofore ffn exhibition in this city.
Among his A-savers. Bankers, Brokers.
Jewellers aud Druggist’s scales — varying in
price from twenty-tivo cents to eight hun
cred dollars—we find some exquisite speci
mens of precise and elaborate workmanship,
while even the Goddess who presides over
the equities in human affairs, could not de
sire a more beautiful instrument to symbol
ize her office, than the massive and splendid

continuance of the exhibition, near the en- !

Washington, Nov. 12. — A man calling
himself McDonald was arrested here last
night by Oilieer Allen, to whom he made
such admissions as to lead t* the belief that
he was one ofßrowu’s party, and had es

of the arrest.
John Brown’s Nurses. —A correspondent
says : “ The lady who, with her sod, visit
ed John Brown, for me purpose of offering
her services as nurae, and wa 3 sent back
with little ceremony, was Mrs. Marcus
Spring, formerly of this city, and now of
Etgleswood, New Jersey. She is the
daughter of the Quaker abolitionist. Arnold

nurse John Brown, went as far as Baltimore
when she w<* met by the despatch that his

Gin House Burnt. —The gin house of Mr.
Pleasant B. Joue*, five or six miles from this

TnE Work of Incendiaries —During the
last week there has been great destruction
of property, caused by fire in Talbot Valley
and in thi# county, which was evidently the
woik of incendiaries. On Mon jay morning
Oct. 30th, tue gin house and screw of Mr*.
Wornb’e, was burnt, with some ten or
twelvt Jbales of cotton—loss, a bout’s 1,800,00.
On Wednesday morning afterwards, Mr.
Allen Womb e’s gin house, containing about
seventeen bales, was burnt—ks, about
§I,BOOOO. On Friday morning’ John Mil
lon's gin house wa# burnt, with about 25
bales—kzss, obout $2,200 00, all under cir
eumstances to prove teat incendiaries were
at work. What fiendish purpose can prompt
to such vandalism, we are unabie to divine.
There is evidently a concerted scheme for
the destruction of property among some evil
disposed persons; for all the burning could
not have been done by one p-rson. unless
he is empowered with übiquity. The g n
house of Mr. Faisen, of tt is county, was
burnt on Thursday night last. We have
been unaide to learn the extent of :oss.
In view of recent occurrences at Harper’s
F.-rry and those unaccountable fires in our
very midst, it behooves the citizens to ex
ercise vigilance, and strictly en'orte the pat
rol laws of the State. The old maxim, in
regard to ‘’vigilance being the price of liber
ty,” may be aptly changed and rendered
thus : Eternal vigilance is the price of your
