THE DAILY EXAMINER.
Our readers will perceive that Ww pre
sent them to-day, the “Daily Extiui'
net” much enlarged. This New Years’
Gift, is doubtless more acceptable to
them, than any other we could bestow.
But it will be remembered, we hope,
that no obligation rested upon us, ao for
as the subscribers to the Tri-Weekly Ex*
•miner are concerned, to furnish a daily
paper, much loss to increase the size </
that paper to the dimensions of the one we
now present to them. Other motives have
governed us in our enterprize: We have
heen favored, both by subscribers und nd*
vertiters, with a patronage no liberal, and
m> far beyond onr expectations at the out
set of onr career, that wo could do am lots
than w< have done; and wo now take oc
rnsiou t<> Any, that, should oireumatHßee*
warrant, w»» Mitdl not stop even here, but
will go on iitcrwhing in onr dimcnaiune?
as the demands made upon our eolmons by
advertisers and snbarriben nuiy warrant |
Os thia, our patrons may be insured. ,
We have now a word more to pay tn the
mcrchanta of Atlanta, onr patrons, mid
friends.
It is st no inconsiderable untley *n<l ex
pense, that wo furnish for your use the
paper we do. Have wc not, therefore, a
right to expect some return at your hands?
Do you not derive the advantages which a
daily journal bestows upon all commercial
ci|ies? Is not our city increasing in its
growth ; in wealth; in importance; in en
terprize? What tends more to advance
its prosperity than the press? And how ’
cun that press be sustained, when mer
chants neglect, or pass by with indiffer
ence, its demands upon their support-—a
support which, like the flood that is sown,
yields mo abundant a harvest But we |
need not press these interrogat jries t bero.
Through an Agent we shall shortly ca’j
upon our merchants mid citizens for their
favors in advertizing, and for additional
subscribers; and with th»w remarks we
close, wishing our road'.rs s “ floppy Vrir
Flwr," and nil iiuaginiblo prosperity.
THE INTELITgENCER AGAIN.
The Editor of the Intelligencer, in his
paper of the 30th ultimo, discovers a
[■ “ Mwra’n Acs/.'” He triumphantly asks
jf we were the author of nn article signed ■
K “ ??'•<? Mouth Dcmorrut,” which appeared
in the “ Republican'* sofiie months ago, l
without even adducing the first point of
.proof. We believe it a principle in Law,
1 * that no man is to bo prunmineed guilty,
until evidence is produced of his guilt—
hence we ask the Editor of the Intelligen
cer to support his interrogatories with evi
dence, and then we shall be prepared with
our answer to his silly charge
What wo meant, however, when we
said we were a native born Democrat, we
shall explain. It was, that we were a
Southern man by birth and educatb n
that we never belonged t» the Whig par
ty--that our Democracy win a i a fund, in t
’an artificial result. Now, we ask in nil
conaciencv, can the Intelligencer say the
L same ? Is it not, on the other hand, a
I fart, that the Editor of the Intelligencer
I was n native born Whig, all the way from
Western New York, when he that came to
this city? If so, we ask what has pro
duced so sudden n presto, veto, change ?
I What di<l “come o’er the spirit of his
■ dream ?"
I But aside from all this, if the Intclli-
I gcurer is u Ihunoeratic press, why attempt
I to destroy the harmony and peace of the
j Democratic Party ? Arc traitors paid for
their treachery ? Doff your feathers Mr
h Intelligencer, an I net with your friends.'
Be one tiling or nothing! I util you as
acme some positive position, you may, by
the unchnntahle, be regarded an .1 ‘-Spy in
the Camp," and be treated ns -n<>h -a f'.-i
E hniity much to |s> ilhplored'l!
But it is true, as tho : Inteiiigonc «r re
M marks, •• eonsisM'iicj i» a jewel' In,
L • fortunate «|W tat ion. however, for that p?
per, as the political life of its Editor hears
L Ample testimony to. Would that he would
t he his own biographer and his paper his
book ; then would Barnum a lie. with
those who delight in humbuggcry, be'
t eclipsed

I But enough of all this, loi it it l H - true
that the Editor of the Intelligencer claim-.
ed the Sheriff’s advertising on the ground
that be was a better Whig than “ Buster.”
we have said too much, and will close, by i
simply saying, can this be true?
MR. MAIER'S STUDIO—THE FINE ARTS.
Chancing the other day to visit Mr-
Maier’s Studio, which is in Hayden’s
new building, we were much gratified at
the fine display of portraits of children, in
several tableaux, grouped together, aud
repr .seated in out-door scenery, surround
ed by a genial landscape. A sight of these
portraits is well worth a visit to the studio
of this excellent artist. Parents, particu.
larly, would be delighted with them
Most of our citizens haie had ample op
portunity of testing Mr. Malevas an artist j
but not until they have seen bis portraits
of children in their out door sports, can
they form an adequate idea of what art can
do, and bis merit as an Artist. While
he remains: in Atlanta, we hope that
none of our citizens will go abroad tor a
portrait, tor if they do, they will not, we
feel assured, fare as wall. Our readers, at
a distance too, would de well to remember
that Mr. Maier's services can always be
secured, in the line of his profession. —
Those who <b«ire to possess a work of art,
combined with faithful and spirited like
nesses of themselves, or families, should
| sieze the opportunity now affoided them.

BLAKELY'S ORCHESTRAL CHORUS COMPANY.
In our advertising columns the card of
this company will be found, announcing a
performance t »-night, at Hayden’s Hall.
We are advised (hat this entertainment
will be of a character well worthy the pat
ronage of ail classes of our citizens, par
ticul.uly those who are fond of good mu.
sic. At the opening of the New Year,
when amusement is nought after, what can
better tend to social enjoyment, than a re
sort to where music, bothinstiumcntal atid
vocal, can be heud? ’Weeonfcss we know
of none, and therefore advise our citizens?
particularly the ladies vs Atlanta, tu seize
upon the opportunity presented by this
celebrated company of Biakcly ; s, for en
joying a pleasant evening, while they re
main in this city.
A NEW GOMMISSION HOUSE.
We call the attention <<f our mad rs to

Wd therefore call special attention to his
Curd, und hope that bis uHe*prize will Lc

THE SOUTH CAROLINA BANKS.
We have heard with surprise that an ef
fort has been made in the interior of Geor
gia to discredit the circulation of the. Banks
of this State, on the assnmption that a few,
(a very few,) failures of joercbants here
had endangered their solvency. The ob
ject appears to have been to drive out ot
circulation the notes of South Carolina
Banks, in order that the void might be
filled by certain irresponsible concerns,
whose untrustworthiness has been repeat
edly alluded to in tljo Augusta papers.
Before the farmers and planters of Geor
gia allow themselves to be victimized by
such tricks, they ought to consider well
these two important facts: Ist, nu Bank
in South Carolina has ever become bank
rupt ; 2d, every Bank in this State is un
der the restriction, that its stockholder*
are liable to the public fur double the par
value of their stock in case of its failure,
und this liability continues fur twelve
months after the ttansfer of the stu.’k
Hence it is next to impossible tha’ those
who hold the notes of our Banks shall suf
fer loss, even in case of failure, unless
when they yield tu the feeling of panic,
and hastily sacrifice their money
But there is no good ground fi>r panic.
The banking system of South Carolina is
too healthy ami solid to be disturbed by
any pressure like the present—CVor.-Z/aVoi

The Journal of Commerce of Saturday
says:
The money market maintains the slight
improvement last noticed, and although
there is some anxiety in regard to the pay
ments maturing during the next few days,;
w<* think the trouble is burrowed, and the;
money will not be wanting. A large
amount of funds now accumulated for the
payment of int r.st and dividends will Ih>
unlocked, and this will go into the banks.
Large payments at the bank always imply l
large receipts by the banks, and except for
debts due out of the vity, matter how
large the payments are if those who 1 ave
the ability will Out try to borrow the money
to.> long in advance. Even where burrow-1
era do this, the sum thus prepared swells’
the aggregate deposit, so that the amount
offering for short loan is not diminished.

DANGERS OF FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
The Senator from Mississippi, in his
speech in defence of bis bill to change the
period of residence necessary to naturaliz
ation from five to twenty-one years, express
ed very’ gieat fear lest the United States
should be overrun by foreigners. As this
fear is entertained by a great many of our
readers, we propose, in this article, to pre
l sent the facts, as disclosed by the last cen
sus, relating to this subject.
Table LXl'I of the census of 1850
§ives the ratio of increase in the United
_tates of whites, free colored, slaves, and
total population from 1790 to 1850.
I DECENXIAL INCREASE PER CENT.
Whites, Free Colored, Sl -v s.
i 1809 35.68 82.28 25.( 1
1810 36.18 72.00 33.04
182 u 34.12 25 25 29.10
183 » 34.03 36.86 30.62
1810 34.72 20.87 23.81
I 1850 37.74 12.47 28.82
The increase of whites from 1800 to
1810 and from 1840 to 1859 is a little
j larger than for the other decennial periods.
1 This is explained by the fact that in the
first period we acquired Louisiana, and in
the second California We take it, there
fore, that 34.29 is the true and correct
ratio of decennial increase in the white
population of the United States, and that
this ratio of increase has been kept up
from 1790 until the present hour, and will
never be exceeded. If, therefore, the U
i uited States have not already become de
nationalized, by foreign immigration, there
is no danger that they ever will become so,
inasmuch as the native population has in
creased to such n bulk that the ratio of
; increase by generation must necessarily
' keep pace with the inercarc us immigra-
I tion.
In all calculations upon the iucreii.se of
i our foreign population, political and cleric
i al statisticians forget that foreigners can,
i and do die ; they add year by year the ar
l rivals at our ports, make no deduction for
. deaths, and startle themselves and their ert
t dulous follow-, rs with the stupendous Leaps
j of Irish, in figures, that lime will bring
among ns. But lot us pursue a more
philosophical course. Theccnsusof 1850
shows that there were at that time 17,737,-
578 native horn inhabitants in the United
States, and only 2 210,830 foreign bnrn,
in which number me included the Mexi
cans of T<-xns,-California and New Mexi
■co The proportion us natives to foreign
| era in the United States is as b to 1, and
i yet men ass .ct to b ? alarmed least the gov
ernment t f the country ?hall pass into the
foreigner. But who are these foreisners ?
They come from 31 different nationalities,
speaking different languages, ptofessing
I different creeds, and scattered from Maine
to Texas, and from Virginia to California
| —Catholics from Ireland, Infidels from
' France, Mystics from Germany, Protest
i ants from great Britain, Holland, Belgium
| Scandanavia. and Helvetia. Greeks trom
Russia, Mohomedans from Turkey, and
; Idolaters from China—a n altitude from all
' nations people and tongues, who agree in
nothing but devotion to our native land
and the liberty which makes it the polit
ical Mecca of “the oppressed of every
country and the martyr of every creed.’
The fears of the Hon Senator are the
fumes of an exrited imagination Amer
i ica has been, and always will be governed
by Americans, but she will gladly put to
i use the talents of foreign born citizt ns
1 when they show themselvts worth}’ of bi r
confidence, as she has done from the com
tnencement of the Revolution to this hour
Let us recur for one moment to the rec-»rdx
of the past.
Alexander Hamilton was a foreign bom
citizen. Called bj’ Washington to the
post of Secretary of the Treasury, which
was by fur the most important in the ad
ministration of the new system of Govern
ment, “ the whole country,” saysWib
3ter, “ perceived with doligl-t and the
I whole world saw with admiration, how he
- fulfilled the duties of such a place, at such |
a time. He smote the rock of national
resources, and abundant streams of reve
nue gushed forth He touched the dead
corpse of the public credit and it sprung
upon its feet The fabled birth of Miner
va, from the brain <if Jove, was hardly
more sudden or more perfect than the fi
nancial system of the United States, as it
burst forth from the conceptions of Alex
ander Hamilton."
Robert Morris, of Philadelphia, was a
Foreign born citizen. And of him the
same high authority asks —‘ Who will ev-.
er forget that, iu the most disastrous days
of thy Revolution, when the treasury of
the country wis bankrupt, with unpaid
navies, and starving armies, it was a mcr-
I chant—Robert Morris of Philadelphia— I
who by a noble sacrifice of his own fortune. I
as well ashy the exercise of his great It- j
nanciai abilities, sustained and supported i
the wise men of the country in council ■
and the brave men of the country in the j
field of battle ! ’
Albert Gallatin was a foreign born citi- i
zen Yet the fathers of the Repu' lie '
scut him to Europe as Miniser Plenipo
tentiary of the United States, made him j
Secretary of the Treasury, and invested j
him with other high and responsible uff. •> - 1

TWENTY MILERACE IN COLUMBIA. S C.
The lovers of the sports of the Turf
will read the following account of the
second race of the kind; we are told, over
run in this country —.five four mile heats.
The victor is owned in Nashvillee and has
run several races there. —AqgW'fa

COiiGARLE JOCKT CLUB RACES, I
December 15, 1854. ;
Four Mile Heats—Purse 3700 —The
three enterics for this day’s race, were
Griff. Edmondson, Ellin Evans und Cor
delia Reed. Griff, was the favorite at long
odds, a hundred to thirty being offered
' freely on him, against the field. Griff.
Edmondson won the track, took the lead,
closely followed by Cordelia Reed for the
first two miles; Fallen Evans then made
play, and succeeded in lessening the dis
tance between them, but was unable tu
reach the horse, Griff, winning the beat
with considerable ease by three or four
lengths, Ellen Evans coming in second. —
Time : 8.01.
The result of this heat greatly increas
ed the confidence in the horse, and the
race was considered by his backers as won.
After the usual delay the three started
again, Griff taking the lead, closely press
ed by both of the mares, Ellen Evans run
; ning at him for the first two miles, when
she dropped behind, Cordelia Reed taking
her place just in the rear of the horse
Upon the quarter stretch of the last mile.
Griff, still ahead, swung out some feet from
the inside, and was closely pressed by Mr.
Campbell’s mare. When about the dis
tance stand she attempted to pass him on
the outside, but the direction given the
horse by his rider compelled her to fall be
hind, when she again attempted to pa-s
him on the inside, but the rider of the
horse changed his course, forcing the mare
almost against the fence, and came out
ahead by halt a length. There was a uni
versal cry of foul riding and the Stewards
appointed for the purpose reported foul
riding to the judges, who decided unani
mously that such was the case, ruling the
horse and his rider off of the track and
giving the heat to Cordelia Reed.
[Time: 8.07.
The race was now a very doubtful one,
and although Cordelia Reed had the ad
vantage of a heat, few were willing to give
any odds upon her. The start for this
heat was a fair one and both mares dashed
off side by side, and seemed unwilling to
part company, running lock, and lock for
the first three and a half miles, Cordel
ia Reed generally a neck ahead, but new
and then completely covered by Ellen—
on the quarter stretch of the lust mile,
Ellen succeeded in obtaining a slight ad
vantage, and maintained it to the string,
winning the heat only one length.
[Time: 8.14
( Three beats hud already been run and
the race was as doubtful as ever, botb
having won a heat. Tho advantage which
Elli-.n had gained last heat not being con
sidered decisive, since she had to contend
against a Wagner, whose owner declared
would canter as lung us any u her nag in
the world. The result justified his opin
ion. The start was perfectly fair and the
heat very similarthroughout to the last one,
the mares running togeth r in a most
friendly manner, until the last quarter,
when Cordelia Reed took the lead for
‘ sjiue distance, but wis unable tn m-'int du
it. Ellen Ev ns gaining slowly upon her,
succeeded in locking her just as they
reached the string. The Judges decided
that it was a dead h«-at. Time: 8.40.
Sixteen miles had now been run and
both mures were evidently much distress
i ed, still it was impossible to decide who
should have the purse without another
he-it. and who would be the winner no one
could tell. The time of this bent was
necessarily v«*n slow, rnd Juiiu./ the
greater portion o 4 ’ it ihe mans* -ieni-.d
merely to gallop ridon Evan.; ‘ook th 1
lead, but was b ateu under the string •_ f
the second mile. Bhe siv.oapd in p.is.uo r
Cordelia Reed on the back stretch of th?
third mile, lur was again beaten unde
the string, she again succeeded in passing
on the back stretch of the fourth mile, but
was again beaten under the string. Cor

The most extraordinary collection in
this country, is to be seen in the copyright
bureau of the Department of State This
collection is made up of a single speci
men of each musical composition which
ha* been isseud in the United States for
the past third of a century, for which a
copyright has been secured—it being re
quired by law that a single copy of each
work thus copyrighted shall be deposited
in the Department of State. The im
mense mass of music which has thus ac
cumulated. has recently been arranged,
and neatly and substantially bound. The
result is beheld in one hundred and twen
ty thick volumes—sixty volumes of songs,
and sixty volumes of instuinental music ;
each volume containing at least three
times the quantity of music usually com
prehended iu volumes of the kind, ave
raging, some two hundred and fifty pages
in each volume, or thirty thousand pages
in the whole, averaging also, more than
sixty pieces in each volume, or nearly one
th >usand in all; and thus making an ag
gregate of more than three hundred vol
umes of vocal and ins tumen tai music of
the size usually seen on piano fortes.

Singular Railroad Accident.—A
j singular accident occurred nt the depot of
i VV. &. R Railroad Company at Wilming
ton on Friday night. The evening train
I came in as usual, and on arriving at the
very heavy grade just north of the depot
I the brakes were attempted to be applied,
1 ami the motion r-.versed, so as ts- stop the
■ progress of the cars; but some aecident
occurring to the m. chinerj, it was found
; impossible to do so, and the train came
rushing down the plane, past the depot,
aiid so on tu the wharf, where, meeting a
! piece of timber placed at its edge for the
• prevention of just such accidents, the lo
comotive and tender bounced over into the
river, thereby breaking the connection
with the train, and opposing such other
• übstacles a-’ t<> arrest its progiess. It was
most fortunate and providential that the
i coupling irons connecting the engine with
the ears bloke, else the entire tram, load
| wl with passengers, would have been prob
ably precipitated into the river, causing a
f’-. anu! loss of life. As it was, however,
but one pers n received injury.—-Mr.
Quarles, the mail agent, who sprang from
