We were one of a large andience who witnessed the inimitable performance of Professor Wyman on last evening.— Though we have seen many Professors of Magic, wo have never seen any equal some of the feats of legerde-main exhibit ed by the miracle-working Wyman; and as regards his ventriloquism —we must say that he far surpasses all we have seen in his business. There will be another performance this evening. - <«»* »w — ANOTHER FIRE. It is our painful task again to record the destructive effects of another fire in our city. On Tuesday night last at one o’clock the alarm of fire aroused from their beds our vigilant and faithful Firemen, who on rushing to the point indicated as the scene of danger, found the new and beau tiful residence of Mr. Joseph Winship in flames Unfortunately it was impossible to obtain water with which to quench the flames, as the wells in the immediate neighborhood had failed in consequence of the long continued drought. Every thing that could be done under this unfortunate state of things to arrest the ravages of the devouring elements, was done. The furniture in the house was saved, as well as other things contain ed in the house. The loss is estimated at five thousand dollars, and no insurance. ARE THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE RE SPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPENDITURE OF THE PUBLIC MONEY 1 One would suppose that in our country it would be impossible to find any one holding the uegative on this question. — It is iudeed late in the day to deny to the people the right to know how the money they pay in the way of taxes, is expend ed. Yet, in our young and progressive City, where fogyism should not be allowed to find a resting place for one moment, a practical denial of the truth of the pro position is given in the action of its chos en rulers. We have no showing from those who handle the people’s money, how it has been expended. Wo know not whether it has been corruptly or honestly used—whether it has been prudently paid out or squandered—whether it has gone into the pockets of Councilmen or their next of kin in the way of jobbing, or into those of honest laborers, iu works of gen oral improvement and public benefit.— Is it not important that the people should know how their money is expended? If the money of any given individual is honestly expended, his agent most gladly renders his account in the proud consci ousness that be will receive his reward in the words: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” If the present board and the present Mayor think they deserve this cucomium from the people, why do they not give an account of their Stew ardship—and receive this greatefhl re sponse from the people? We ask nothing for the people which they have not a right to exact. We ask it not as a favor or privilege —we demand it of the Mayor and Council as being due to the sovereign people, who placed them where they arc, with the whispered infor mation to them, that the same Land which made them can destroy them. ENTERTAINMENT. Professor Wyman gives another enter tainment this evening. We advise our readers to avail themselves of the oppor tunity to spend an agreeable evening.— Professor Wyman has with him Comical Almanacs of his own getting up. ns also some choice Music, which can be obtained of the Agent. AMENDE. | In our notice of the fire on Sunday | night, we omitted to mention the name of Mr. Toy among those referred to as hav ing distinguished themselves by their zeal, activity and boldness in the performance of their duties as firemen on that occas ion. Mr. Toy deserves honorable mention in connection with the others. Extravagance.—As an indication of extravagance which has prevailed in the country for some time, an importing house I in New York has written a letter stating i that the amount ot duties paid for French artificial flowers for the first quarter of the current fiscal year was almost double the amount of duties paid on railroad iron. [Communicated for the Examiner,] INTERIOR BANKS OF GEORGIA. In reply to his enquiry, we state, that the bills of all the Banks in South Caro lina are bankable in Augusta. The banks in the interior of that State have made ar rangements to have their bills redeemed in Charleston; hence, they are daily sent to Charleston by our banks for redemption. And so long as they continue to redeem their bills in Charleston they will be bank able in Augusta- — Chronicle <(• Sentinel §th ult. How remarkably friendly and clever to the country Banks of South Carolina? But why did you not let us know when they were thrown out ? “Our correspondent should know, and the public also, when they hear these re ports about broken banks, and see no no tice of it in this journal, that the report is not to be relied on—indeed, that there is no truth in it. We claim to be the friend of a sound currency and legitimate bank ing; and whenever a bank fails, we areas certain to chronicle the event as to expose the actors in illegitimate and fraudulent use of bank charters — lbid. Still very kind and patriotic. But sup posing one don't fail, and you report that it has failed, then what ? MERCHANTS’ BANK OF MACON. SEND HOME THE BILLS. “ In our issue of this morning we warn ed the people to repudiate the Swindling Shops. We did not suspect then, that the hour was so near at hand when they were to be robbed of the fruits of their toil and labor —although we always regarded it certain that they would be robbed sooner or later if they permitted the bills to cir culate.—lbid, evening edition. Which robs and cheats the people the most, the Banks that stand firm through the financial storm; or the public print that circulates false reports and causes people to part with their property, at ten, twenty or fifty per cent less, when they could have had dollar for dollar? “This will be glorious news to those pa pers and individuals in the interior who have advocated the cause of the Wild Cat swindling shops. We commend the facts to their especial consideration ; and in the meantime warn the people —not to take the issues of any of the Wild Cat Banks If you do, you will be robbed sooner or la ter —as certain as the sun gives light ” [lbid. Most assuredly you will, if you believe, one half, one quarter, or one word, said in that paper touching the banks of the In terior of Georgia PETER WHISTLE. A BAD SIGN. A meeting of the Whigs of Henrico county, Virginia, was held on the Ist of January, to consider of the propriety of appointing delegates to a Whig State Con vention, with the view of nominating can didates for Governor, Lieutenant Govern or, and Attorney General. The follow ing resolutions were offered, discussed, and finally adopted, almost unanimously: Resolved, Ist. That at this time, and under existing circumstances, it is expedi ent and unwise to hold a Whig State Con vention for any such purpose. 2d. That from all the lights before us we, so far as our voice can affect the ac tion of our brother Whigs throughout the State, protest against a Whig State Con vention at all, but should such a Conven tion be determined upon and held, urge its postponement till the month of April. Lt seems, from the passage of these res olutions, that the Whigs of Henrico en tertain the opinion the Whig party of Vir ginia should make no organized Whig op position to the Democratic nominees. It seems that they think the Whigs of Vir ginia should give up and abandon their or ganization. Nor is it only an attitude of neutrality that they recommend to their brethren throughout the State. An ob vious and palpable design to succumb to the new secret organization and to aid in the election of its ticket, was manifested in some of the speeches. The worst enemies of the Whig party cannot contemplate this effort of its own brotherhood to prostrate that ancient par ty without emotions of sorrow. A gener ous spirit cannot behold the downfall of a once great and manly foe without indul ging such emotions. Should this merger of the Whig party into the Know-nothing organization be permitted and sanctioned by the intelligence of that party, sorrow for its degradation will mingle with disgust for the paltry policy which thus sinks prin ciple for triumph, and forgets the “decen cy” us the past in the hope of winning thereby the “spoils” of the future. The charge so often alleged will then be plainly confessed that the Whig party never was anything but a party of men, and that the basis of its organization and the principle of its cohesion was only the intellect, chiv alry, and services of its two great leaders Those leaders are now in their graves, and the Whig organization moulders with them lin their tombs Clay sleeps at Ashland, i and with him sleeps that pride of genius and chivalrous self-respect that would have felt “like a wound’’ the stain of all degrading coalitions. Webster lies in the tomb of Marshfield, and with him lies that sound intellect which would have exposed the folly of all such alliances. If this meeting be the indication of the policy of the Southern Whigs, the extinc tion of that J arty may be assumed as an existing fact The Whig party will be quietly buried, and in its stead we shall have a secret organization at wir with the very principle of free institutions. We suggest to our cotemporary of the ■Richmond BVijy the following appropri ate dirge: “Open wide the gate* of Athol Where the bones of sages rest; Open wide the gates of Athol, To receive another guest.’* [ Hrt.rA. Sentinel, NEWS. Additional by the Asia. The Campaign in the Crimea. —The diary of the seige of Sabastopol and of operations iu the Crimea is thus given : November 29.—The war correspondent of the Ijondon Times says: “ Although it may be dangerous to communicate facts likely to be of service to the Russians, it is certainly hazardous to conceal the truth from the English people. They must know sooner or latter that the siege has been for many days practically suspended, that our batteries are used up and silent, and that our army are exhausted by the effect of the excessive labor and watching to which it has been so incessantly ex posed. The Russians know this well enough. The relaxation of our fire is self evident; but our army though weakened by sickness, is still equal to holding its position, and to inflict chastisement on assailants who may venture to attack. Nothing would so animate our men, des titute of all stimulating influences beyond those of undaunted spirit, than the pros pect of meeting the Russians outside their entrenchments, and deciding the campaign by the point of the bayonet. — Last night there was a brisk affair between the Chasseurs de Vincennes and Russian Riflemen in front of the flagstaff battery earth works, and the Russians dispelled all absurd myths about their being in want of powder and ball, by a most tre mendous cannonade assault and counter assault, continued amid a furious fire, which lighted up the skies with sheets of flame from nine o’clock at night until four in the morning. Volleys of musketry and salvoes of cannon roared through the camp during the whole night; but few lost their rest in consequence, for these affairs are now of nightly occurrence. November 30.—A heavy fire on the French during the night. The Grand Duke Michael was observed making a re connoisance at a distance of one thousand yards. Flags of truce were exchanged respecting, money for the prisoners. December, 1. More rain. The state of the roads prevented the arrival of supplies, and part of the British forces put tem porarily on short allowance. The deaths from fever and cholera reach sixty daily. December 2. Continued rain. The be siegers began to erect huts for shelter.— Deserters say that the condition of the Russians on the field is worse than that of the allies. Much bell-ringing and rejoic ing heard in Sebastopol during the night, supposed caused by the arrival of provis ions. December 5. The Russians made a sortie against the French lines, when eight divisions of French under Gen. Forri re pulsed them with much loss. December 7. The Paris Moniteur says the beseigers’ batteries were re-established, and before three days fireing would be re sumed. The allies are sufficiently en trenched and provisioned to remain throughout the winter. December 13. A Russian despatch states that up to this date nothing of importance had occurred before Sebastopol. Some small sorties had been successful, in one of them the Russians captured some small mortars and spiked others of a larger size. The fire of the allies continued feeble. GENERAL PROSPECTS. The Russian defences on the South are estimated at one hundred guns stronger than when the seige began ; while, on the other hand, the British have erected a very powerful battery, not yet opened, on an eminence north of ihe valley of Inker inann, and commanding every house in Sabastopol, besides being another step to wards the complete investiture of the place. Russian deserters say that provisions and ammunition were becoming scarce in Sebastopol; but there was no famine for either. It was observed that the Russians were arming their ships in Sebastopol harbor, probably to attempt a surprise by sea. General Liprandi is deprived of his com mand, for a fault committed at Inkcnnann on the sth November. - 4 While in Atlanta last week we could not well avoid calling on James L. Dun ning at his “ Machine Works.” Like all men determined to thrive in business, he was applying himself assiduously to the superintendence of his establishment.— The “ Machine Works” turn out an im mense amount of castings, and such is the system and disciplin of the operatives that every thing is conducted in the most ex peditious manner, with the regularity of clock work. As a “worker in Brass and Iron” Mr. Dunning is a worthy decendant of Tubal Cain.— Rome Courier REDUCTION OeYhE TARIEF. At the democratic caucus held in the hall of the U. S. House of Representatives on Wednesday evening last, the following resolution, offered by the Hon. George W. Jones, of Tennessee, was adopted, viz : Resolved, That it is right and proper that the duties imposed by law upon goods, wares, and merchandise imported into the United States from foreign countries, should be so modified and reduced at the present session of Congress, preserving the principles of the tariff act of 1846, as will materially diminish the amount of revenue annually collected from customs. Aer Haven, Dec. 29.—Burglary and Murder. —The house of Joseph Sears, at Nangatuck, was entered this morning by burglars, who struck Mrs. Sears a blow on the head which fractured her skull, and then murdered her young child to prevent it from making an alarm ! Mr. Sears was sleeping in the opposite part of the house, and wa< not awakened until after the murderers had escaped. Buffalo, Dec. 29. —Railroad Open ing —The main trunk of the Illinois Cen tral Railroad, from Chicago to Cairo, will be opened for traffick on the Sth of Janu ary, and the branch from Cairo to Galena on the 15th.
