Wilkins, the Mayor elect is registered as a cotton buyer and aged sixty years. He was Colonel of the First Georgia during the late revolu tion. Mr. M. M. Moore, Clerk of Council has filled that office for years, and is one of the most efficient and popular the city has ever had. T. T. Moore, re-elected Marshal, put down as aged 38 years. Sexton A. A. Odom is re-elected, age 50 years. Of Aldermen we have H. C. Bussey and C. B. Grimes in the First Ward- the first a “drayman” aged about 24 years, the second a book-keeper, 35 years. It is Mr. Bussey's first exper ience in the Aldermanic line. Neither served in last Council. In the Second Ward we havo re-elect ed J. P. Manley, a merchant, aged 48 years, and John Fitzgibbons, a mer chant aged 45 years. Mr. F. was not a member of last Council, In the Third Ward we lieve Messrs. A. G. Bedell and Ordinary F. M. Brooks, aged respectively 50 and 61 years, the first a 1 nth-chant, the second the Ordinary of the county. In the Fourth Ward Mr. J. C. An drews is te-clected, a merchant aged 34 years, and Col. W. L. Salisbury, bank er and proprietor of the Enquirer Sun, aged 47, is his fellow member. In the Fifth Ward, L. G. Schuessler and N. N. Curtis, merchants, and aged 41 and 53 are re-elected. In the Sixth Ward we have two new Aldermen, W. R. Moore and H. F. Everett, merchants, aged 30 and 34 years. The board is an able one. gratifying to the friends Schools that there is not a member an tagonistic to them, as has been the case in the present Council. If the system is to be changed or altered it had better be done, all must admit, by its friends and not its enemies. This expression of confidence in this institution, and the unmistakable man ifestation that property owners are un willing to have it crippled or tampered with except by recognized and un doubted adherents, is a consummation welcomed by every good citizen. It speaks well for the intelligence of our people, and their zeal for keeping pace with the civilization of the age. This is the only- salient feature of the elec tion. The Mayor, Aldermen and other offi cers, hold their positions for two years. The Aldermen draw lots to see which six go out next December, when an other six will be elected. It is very of Public JKaalefpal Elrrllou, That of yesterday was one of the most quiet ever held in Columbus. In fact there was no contest except for Aider- men in the Sixth Ward, and for Mar shal and Sexton. The registration, owing to an act of the present Council, requiring the pay ment of a tax of two dollars at the time of registering, twenty days before the election, was very small and not all of them voted. The total registration was only 548— 453 whites and 95 blacks. The vote as will be seen from the total was still less—the total being 399. As soon as it was ascertained certain Aldermen who have made themselves conspicious opposition to public schools were not candidates for re-election, interest in the contest ceased, and all was quiet as a cat when mousing.

G. Wilkins, after an interval of several years, has been elected May or of Columbus for the eleventh time. He, in all, has filled the oflice ten terms of a year each. His present term is for two years—an ample period to secure all the praises or blame of the com munity. It is needless to add Colonel Wilkins is a Democrat of the strictest sect. His past has illustrated his abili ty. He had no opposition. He will make an excellent officer. His age is registered at sixty years. The Colonel tells us, if we remember aright, that he has no recollection in thirty-four years of such a quiet elec tion. He mentioned that in 1856, when the fight between Democrats and Whigs was very hot, the Democrats declined to nominate a candidate for Mayor, and the Whig went in easily. There have been other votes for Mayor as quiet, but they were rare, but there have been none where there was so little opposi tion to the general ticket. Our Mayor and City Fathers have a task before them which is unenviable, for there are many difficult problems to be solved. Nothing more clearly demonstrates that the old passions and prejudices of a year or two ago have disappeared, and all is serene as could be desired. •Homing. expected to live until the It i*,said Hackney has left Let A11 Who have an eye for the beautiful call and see Mr. H.

She will be here on the 18th Inst, with tiie same support, which is very fine, and which appeared here several weeks «go. She will play “Bona, or Love Works Wonders.” The synopsis the scenery is as follows: Act 1. Love—Scene: Ruins of a Span ish Castle. Act 2. Hate—Scene: Interior of Spanish Inn. Act 3. Contrition—Scene: New York Drawing Room at Miss Withers*. Act 4. Retaliation—Scene: Same Act 3. This is a new romantic play, written expressly for Miss Rogers, by B. E, Wolf, Esq., author of the “Mighty Dol lar.” It is said to be very fine in all its parts. The comic portion, most especi ally, is “immense.” Miss Rogers and her company need no commendation from us, as they have been seen by the Columbus people, all of whom were highly pleased. The Place I* Got Tonr Back ! If you want a just equivalent for your money in the shape of a fashiona ble or serviceable Suit of Winter Cloth ing, we know of no better place to which to recommend you than Thomas A Prescott’s Gentlemen’s Emporium where at all times may be found one of the largest and best selected stocks of read-made Clothing and Furnishing Goods to be found in the city or in the State. Although the sales of this firm have been heavy during the season their stock has been havily replenish ed during the past week with a view to meeting the grand rush of the holidays, and all contemplating the purchase of a new outfit should not fail to call on this firm, who guarantee perfect satis faction in goods and prices. at Knars.

We are to have no more until next December—a good long rest. One can remain in quiet and be undisturbed. Friends have no claim to advance, the bother of electioneering is over, the hopes and fears of a contest is over, the men you like have ceased to pull and haul, and look disconsolate, and one can breathe. Why, the sensation is delicious. One feels that he has quaffed elvxir and again he has a chance to live. The feeling is delightful—no elections until next No vember, and then only for a Congress man. It is too gladsome to be true. We have had enough of the work. We have voted for everything and every body in the world in the past week, and we are to be left in peace. No more suffrage slinging for a good long year. One feels all the elasticity of glorious freedom. Hew s Fashionable Woman Kegnrd* a Newspaper. A few days ago we were reading a novel. No matter what was its name. We do not recall it at present. Never mind, it had these sensible observations. Let’s quote: Sybill say r s: “How is it that^some people have this power of darkening whatever comes within, their reach or ken ? There was no poetic melancholy about Mr. Smith, not a trace of it, and yet many people would have felt as Sybill felt—that he was depressing.” Again, in reply to Sybill’s “Ah! but we must die,” Mrs. Marsh replies: “I think living a noble thing—a fine thing -and I take particular pleasure in it. like the waking and being alive, the eating and drinking—there, you are shocked—young ladies neither eat nor drink—and being alive the walking and being alive; and I like the dream ing and sleeping, too. In short, life is glorious invention; I never read books. No, thank you. What are books? Words. Well, I can have words without books. Besides, what is there to read? Poetry, novels, ethics, history, etc. My dear, I can have poetry when I open my window; anovel when I watch a flirtation, philosophy when I sit in my chair and muse, and history when I take up my newspaper. The newspaper, mydear, is simply the modern epic. There is everything in it—murder, love, revenge, treason, too, apd high and low life. Oh! I like it amazingly.” The largest stock of Gold and Silver Watches in this city, at sep30 3m Wittich A Kissel’s. OM Tjk Hotel. Ac.

CsajHtltM off Ike Maos and Venus. A very beautiful sight was witnessed in the western heavens last evening, during tile hours just succeeding dark ness. It was the conjunction of the moonaud Venus—one woman trying to put out another’s light. The night was clear and bracing, the atmosphere sparkling. The moon having the in side track obscured Venus for an in stant, but that coy maiden soon emerged with greater brilliancy and coolly sat on one of the horns of the quarter Luna and joined candles. Shortly after they separated aud each retired behind the Alabama hills. The scene was very beautiful. The occurrence Is not so very rare, but it is seldom such a favor able opportunity transpires for its ob servance. The books say A'enus is some sixty-six million miles from the sun, and the earth about ninety-three millions. The moon in round numbers is 240,000 miles from the earth. So the two stars or planets, Moon and Venus, at the time of seeming contact, were twenty-seven million miles apart—not close enough to smash each other. LOCAL Bl Zephyr Goods!

He was asleep at the time the house caught on fire, but some negroes near by got there in time to get him out before the house fell in. At present our section seems to be lacking school teachers. The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few appar ently. There is no school here, none at Glennville, none at Villula and none in other sections that might, it seems to us, support a school. Persons capable of teaching and using some manage ment and attention might get up good schools at the places named.

Jumping from points of elevation, says Albert Rhodes, in the February Galaxy, is a fashion of suicide. To stand on an elevated site exercises a singular fascination over some people, leading them to j ump into the air. It causes others to sweat and tremble with fear. Last summer I talked with the guardian of the steeple of the Cathedral at Strasburg on this subject and he informed me that few visitors were free from the feeling of fright on reaching the first terrace, which is of gveat altitude, and that it was so pro nounced as to generally prevent them from going higher. Sometimes the women fainted. I confess that I was not free from a vague dread in looking out over the immense reach of landscape which this view takes in, although there was absolutely no danger, the terrace being securely- guarded by strong iron rails. This man of the upper air—the guardian or guide—informed me that the summer before an Englishman had fainted, but determined to over come his fright, and continued to as cend every day for a week, until he could look out in the direction of the Black Forest, from the lantern, with equanimity-. During the summer, a man had jumped into the air through altitude fascination. He was probab ly dead before reaching the ground, on account of the immense height from which he hurled himself. Formerly the Vendome Column was the scene of so many deaths of this kind that a decree was issued to prevent visitors from ascending it unless accompanied by a guardian. It was the Tarpeian Rock of Paris. Such a number have killed them selves from fascination of altitude, or the fright produced thereby, that ele vated places must be recognized as dangerous for certain people. Those whose self-killing is permeditated, of course, are not comprised therein.

From the printed Cat alogue they can always make selections of garments that will give satisfaction, and it is onl; ly necessary to give the proper meas urements to insure success.

He was out on Broad street again yes terday with his good old songs entertain ing alarge and admiring crowd. No one could pass along and not stop to listen to him, let his standing be what it may. He sang “The girl with striped stock ings on” and everybody pronounced it “immense.” He says that any one in passing along Broad street may see striped stockings hanging in the show windows at 15 to 25 cents per pair, but those he saw were higher. All the boys and children like Billy. We noticed a large number of little fellows around him after the “exercises” had closed but what he was doing with them we didn’t learn except that he was amus ing them very much. Billy is a good boy and he oughtn’t to be charged very much for license to sell his little tricks. Why he sells a top, which he says will run a week provided it doesn’t get too weak and stop for grub. Stay here Billy, as long as you wish, you make Columbus lively. Arrived at Hrs.

Willingham A Co. Enterprise, backed by judgment, ex perience and energy, never fails, and this accounts for the firm’s success. They have been established here about one year, in the sash, door and blind business, and have extended their trade “far and wide.” Their river custom is very flattering. We know, for we see every manifest of their shipments by the boats. They furnish everything necessary to the building of a house of the best quality aud most desirable style. They have received eight car loads of sash, doors and blinds in the past twelve months, and this shows what they are doing. Their white-pine mouldings are preferred to any other kind of material. They give satisfac tion everywhere and have become pro- erbial for excellence. Willingham A Co. are agents for the Chewackla lime, which they sell very rapidly. They also have the agency for the “Famous Kalsomine,” which is used to paint the walls and ceilings of house any conceivable color of the most delicate tint. This preparation is simply magical for beautifying and purifying. It is cheap, and preferable to anything yet invented. This firm is bound to succeed. Pretty Feet. Columbus has been noted for many ears for the beauty of her women, and we must award the praise of pretty feet. This is most clearly established on windy and muddy days. Pedal ex tremities have a wonderful fascination abont them.

Murdock,wliieh we find in the Southern Live Stock Journal: We have had our meat houses so far from our homes that we could not attend to the curing of our meat, until a great many have almost for gotten how to save good bacon, lienee I will give my plan to your many friends of making good home-cured bacon. Be sure to get the hogs good and fat, and kill in a good spell of weather, and w r hen the hogs are in a good thriving condition. After the hogs are all cut up, each piece (sides excepted) should be exposed to tBe cold night air; and the house top is. an excellent place. In the morning early the meat should be taken down and’every piece nicely trimmed with a sharp knife, saving all “bits” for lard, so there will be no waste. Pre- E are the salt and saltpetre. Put one ushc-1 of salt to every eight hundred pounds of meat. Salt down in large boxes dr hogsheads, and put on each ham and shoulder one tablespoonful of saltpetre as you pack the meat down. Put the meat down care fully and well packed, using all the jowls to keep level and close. Let the meat stay in salt two weeks, then take up, re-salt and re-paclc, using no more saltpetre. At the end of two more weeks take, up the meat and wash the salt off the'joints; then scald in boiling lye and put up for a few hours to dry; then take corn meal and mix with ground pepper, say quarter pound pepper to half a bushel meal. Before putting on the meal, take a swob and put molasses all over the raw or flesh side of the meat, and then put on plenty of meal, thus mixed, and lay up with the skin down, for four or five days keep a good smoke, and you will have bacon * ‘that is bacon. ’ ’ The saltpetre makes the meat dry faster, firmer and more attractive when cooked and placed upon the table. The lye destroys all unpleasant odors. The molasses helps to save the meat, and keeps the meal upon the meat, while the pepper is a poison to the fly and its eggs, besides giving a nice flavor to the meat. Murdock says he thus saved more than 800 pieces of meat in one winter without the loss of a piece, and some of his hogs weighed as follows: 571, 485, 440, 436, 416, 411, 410, Ac. Sehenelt’s Mandrake Pills Will be found to possess those qualities necessary to the total eradication of all bilious attacks, prompt to start the se cretions of the liver, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to have invented a remedy for these stubborn complaints, which de velop all the results produced by a heretofore free use of calomel, a min eral justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged to be destructive in the extreme to the human system. That the properties of certrin vegetables comprise ail the virtues of calomel without its injurious tendencies, is now an admitted fact, rendered indisputa ble by scientific researches; and those who use the Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied that the best medicines are those provided by nature in the common herbs and roots of the fields. These Pills open the bowels and cor rect all bilious derangements without salivation or any of the injurious effects of calomel or other poisons. The secretion of bile is promoted by these Pills, as will be seen by the altered color of the stools, and disappearing of the sallow complexion and cleansing of the tongue. Ample directions for use accompany eacii box of pills. Prepared only by J. H.
