Gary, son of Mr. Isaac Cary, died in this city Sunday from the effects of conges tive chills. The deceased was a member of the Georgia Grays, and w understand, was a young man of considerable promise. A correspondent of the Times suggests the following gentlemen as Democratic candidates for the Legislature from this county : For the Senate, Hon. P. 11. Col quitt: For the House, Gen. G. J. Wil liams, and B. A. Thornton, Esq. An able ticket. The Sabbath Past. The pulpit of the Methodist Church was occupied in the “forenoon by the Rev. Henry W. Hilliard of Montgomery, llis discourse was based upon the text: “The law came by Moses, but grace ami truth, by Jesus Christ.” It would be superflu ous to say that the subject was elucidated in his usual brilliant style. The delinea tion of the character of the first ofliisto rians, who preferred the privations of the people of God to the pleasures of sin, will long be remembered. Hev. Joseph Walker. In the evening we had the pleasure of listening to this gentleman from the text in Revelation. “The spirit and the bride say come, &c.” The subject was handled in an easy, fluent style. It was entirely unstudied in effort. Mr. Walker is the editor of tho Baptist Champion, published semi-monthly in Macon, and has for seve ral years been connected with the press of the Baptist denomination. *■ Tax ltitiuim of Muscogee County. Mr. Jordan L. Howell, the Tax Col lector, has furnished us with a synopsis of the Tax returns of this county, for 1850, which appears in another place. In several particulars they are incom plete. There arc only 052 polls given in, whereas, in the election in 1857. lor Gov ernor, which we take as being fuller than any'other, there were 1,581 votes polled at tho four precincts in the county. Even then there was not a full vote. The number of free persons of color are returned at 28. The number would not be missed far if we estimate them at 100. There are no returns of slavos permitted to hire their own time, whereas this city alone could furnish not fur from 200 thus employed. After deducting S2OO, the aggregate value of property iu tho county is esti mated at $12,508,081. Notwithstanding this the county is unable to discharge its indebtedness. The Inferior Court has already levied 150 per cent., being the highest limit authorized by law. The only remedy is with the next Legislature, to authorize the assessment of such a rate as will be sufficient to relieve the county of the onus of her indebtedness, and thus relieve her creditors, who are compelled to do without the amounts due them, or sell them to speculators at a heavy dis count. ♦ First Uule in Coliimtms A bale of new cotton was received yes terday in this city by Hughes, Daniel & Cos., from the plantation of Mr. W. J. Shepard, of Stewart county. It was sold to Mr. S. C. Atkinson at 121 cents, and forwarded by Hamden’s Express to Hop kins, Hudson & Cos., Charleston. For several seasons past, we learn that the first bale of now cotton has been brought to this city by Mr. E. A. Shepard. Which v.-as the First i Since noticing the reception of anew bale of cotton by Messrs. Hughes, Daniel & Cos., yesterday, we learn that another one was received at the Commission House of King, Allen & Camak, the same day, from the plantation of Mr. John M. Sapp, Chattahoochee county. It classed Ordinary, and was sold to D. F. Thom, at 12] cents, at auction, by Frank Wiicher. Muscogee County—Fopmiation. The State census, for the county of Muscogee, has been taken. We are una ble to give the population of the city, as the census was confined to the tax payers, and those residing within the narrow lim its of the city corporation. The popula tion for the county is seventeen thousand and seventy-two souls. Muscogee county being one of'thc smallest counties in the State, having formed the county of Chat tahoochee solelj- from its boundaries, and . the county within ten miles of Columbus sparsely populated, we should think the population of the city would reach to eleven or twelve thousand. This is a rea sonable calculation from the data before us. Times. Man Traps. The daugcrous condition of some of the bridges on public thoroughfares ap proaching this city lias justly elicited complaint. In this connection we refer to the timely suggestions of a “ mer chant” in another place. We hope sin cerely his communication will awaken immediate attention to this matter, else procrastination may result in the loss of life and the destruction of valuable prop erty. We are very liable in this “ fast age’ - to forget that there are necessarily, yet old fashioned ways of locomotion. As railroads cannot be built everywhere, every facility aliould be afforded the country adjacent to the -city for getting to and from market, else it may result in serious detriment to our merchants and business men generally. We again repeat the urgent desire of the public that the cause of complaint may be re moved as early as practicable. Tax. Returns of Muscogee County. When we noticed the synopsis of the Tax Returns of this County, furnished us by Mr. Jordan L. Howell, the 17th, we stated that they were in several particu lars incomplete, especially in respect to the number of Polls given in. Since then we find that we have unwittingly done Mr. Brooks injustice in this statement. One of the military companies, and one—perhaps all—the fire companies of the city are exempt from this tax by special act, and there are, we are in formed, quite three hundred “Haulers” in this county who pay no poll-tax, and uo not give in. This number makes a very considerable difference in the num ber of polls included in the returns and those cast at the last general election. Injustice to Mr. Brooks, the tax collector, we cheerfully make this statement. Young Carlo Patti, the brother of Mrs. Strukosch, has just married Miss Effie Geruion, the pretty actress. The hymeu ials took place at Providence, R. I. Carlo Patti will be recollected by many of our cituons, as the leader of the Or chestra of the New Orleans English Opera Troupe, during their engagement in Co lumbus last winter. Tile Juvenile Concert. Avery large audience assembled at Temperance Hall Thursday evening to witness the exhibition of i’n.f. Mason’s Juvenile class in vocal music. I'he uudi cncc was composed of un riy maidens, blooming widows and stately matrons, with a corresponding proportion of the sterner sex. The Hall Was crowded nl most to sufiocation, but it blazed with the beauty of the softer sex, and was ren dered still more attractive by the rare and beautiful scene of fully one hundred lit tle girls from three years old and up, ar rayed in snowy white, with boquets in in their hands, and their heads wreathed with beautiful flowers. They seemed to rejoice in the occasion, and were fit em blems of the purify and innocence of i earth. The arrangements were all admirable and complete. The’ class acquitted them selves well, and several songs were en ! cored by the delighted audience. The concert w is concluded by ! he beau tiful ceremony of crowning little Miss Mollie Spear, who had been selected by | her class-mates as• the “Queen of Flow j ers. As she sat upon her extempore throne, with a tasteful crown upon her head, she seemed to be little conscious that all eyes were directed to her, until I at the conclusion of the accompanying 3ong, when the boquets were showered upon her as a spontaneous offering to the | “Queen of Flowers,” the little thing j seemed to he much embarrassed at the | idea of being “the observed of all ob eervers.” The exercises were varied by an inter ! lude on the piano by that accomplished | musician, Prof. G. W. Chase, who has j been an expert since when wc knew him at the ago almost of the youngest upon the stage At the conclusion Mr. Mason was pre sented, unexpectedly, with a beautiful canc, appropriately inscribed, by Master Girard in behalf of the Class. The pro ceeds of the exhibition, which amount to a very handsome sum, are to be ap propriated to the several Sabbath Schools of this city. Culled Meeting of Council. The board of Aldermen were called to gether on Monday evening last, for the purpose of hearing the report of the j special committee, appointed at a previ ous meeting to arrange a contract with tho rail roads in regard to a change of ground for depots, &c. There was not a full board, but sufficient for a quorum. We did not arrive at the commencement of the exercises, and .we were not very sorry for it. There was any amount of speaking, talking and cross firing amongst tho honorable?, and all without eliciting, as far as wc could judge, any light upon the subject, or placing the matter in a po sition sufficiently intelligible, for a board of wise men to take any action on what ever. We coincido with his honor, the Mayor, that the Council have been in too great a hurry about this whole matter, and in our opinion, there has been too much juggling and too little considera tion for the great interest of the city. Juggling and wirepulling may be allowa ble in Congress, where great men are permitted to do as they list, but in petty corporations it is too easily discerned, and at once receives the condemnation of the public. Just think of it, reader; a whole afternoon taken up iu trying to find oift how tho Council could grant the Montgomery road 1,000 feet of ground, running North and South, without inter fering with the public streets. A block of lots is only 800 feet North and South, and how the Council could get 1,000 out of it was a question too much for their genius. There was no help, and they had finally to give up the effort, and per mit tho company to cross Bryan street with its depot building, with the promise that the road will make thereat a safe and reliable crossing. Several stirring speech es were made on the occasion. Colonel llogan, ever on the alert to defend the rights and privileges, we are sorry to say, “busted” a suspenderin his energetic remonstrance against blocking up the streets. The matter as disposed of enti tles the Montgomei’y road to 1,000 feet of land, running north from the south line of Bryan street, and about three hundred j feet in width; for which the company cede back to the city all the grounds pre viously granted them on the north com mon, except where the present depot now stands. The Council also grant a right of way of 100 feet on the south side of the track along the line of connection. Synopsis of Tax Beturns of Muscogee.

Washington, Aug. 18.—About five hundred illegal squatters are on the lands belonging to the Kaw Indians in Kansas. The subject of preventing intrusions of ‘ this character, which extensively pre- i vail, occupies (lie attention of the Com- j missioner of Indian Affairs, who contem plates the initiation of such measures as j will at least lessen if not altogether re- I move these .abuses, so dangerous to peace ful relations with the Indians and from which the United States arc bound to protect them under existing treaties. Seuor Lerdo, accompanied by Senor Mata, had a full and free conversation j with the President on the subject of Mexi- j can affairs.

Japan Legerdemain, lie up tho sleeves of his dress, and showed a piece of some tissue paper which he held in his hand. It was about six inches square, and by dexter ous and delicate manipulation he formed it into a very good imitation of a but terfly, the wings being extended, and at the most each was oue inch across. Holding the butterfly out in tho palm of his hand, to show what it was, ho placed two caudles which were beside him in such a position as to allow him to wave a fan rapidly without affecting the flame, and then, by a gentle motion of his fan over the paper insect, he proceeded to set it in motion. i\ counter draught of air from some quarter interfered with his efforts, and made the butterfly truant to his will, and the screen had to be moved a little to remedy this. lie then threw the paper butterfiy up in the air, and gradually it seemed to ac quire life from the action of his fan— now wheeling and dipping toward it, now tripping along its edge, then hov ering over it, as we may see a butterfly do over a flower on a fine summer’s day, then in a wantonness wheeling away, and again returning to alight, the wings quivering with nervous restlessness. One could have declared it was a living cre ature. Now it flew off to the light, and theh the conjuror recalled it, and pres ently supplied a mate in the shape of an other butterfly, and together they rose and played about the old man’s fan, va rying their attentions between flirting with one another and fluttering along the edges of the fan. We repeatedly saw one of each side of it as he held it nearly vertically, and gave the fan a short, quick motion; then one butterfly would pass over to the other, both would wheel away as if in play, and again return. A plant with some flowers stood in a pot near at hand; by gentle movements of the fan the pretty little creatures were brought up to it, aud then their delight! how they played about the leaves, sipped the flowers, kissed each other, and whisked cif again with the airs and graces of real butterflies ! The audience was in ecstacies, and young aud old clapped their hands with delight. The exhibition end ed, when the old man.advanced to the front of the stage, within arms length of us all, accompanied by his magic butter flies, that even in the open air continued to play round the magician and bis fan. Asa feat of legerdemain it was by ffar the most beautiful trick we had ever heard of, and one that must require an immense amount of practice.— Tilaclcwood's Maga zine. For the Daily Sun. I notice a communication in your pa per of the 19th, calling attention to the condition of the Upatoie Bridge, near the Pine-Knot Mills. I’beg to add to the list several others, that-arc dangerous for man or beast (to say nothing of heavily laden wagons and teams) to cross, viz:— Peggy Reid’s Bridge, Randall’s Hill Br:dge, Fuller’s Bridge, and Bull Creek Bridge, (near Capt. Heard’s.) To these, perhaps, others might be added. I men tion these because the citizens traveling to’ this place have spoken of them, and have expressed a determination, unless they are pat in a safe condition, not to risk their lives and property in crossing them, where they can possibly find anoth er market. TLe trading season will soon commence, and we must not lose sight of the fact that we want good wagon loads and bridges, as well as rail roads. Planters will haul their cottou and produce twenty miles further, on a good, and pleasant road, for the same monejq in preference to bad and dangerous crossings. It is to be hopvd that the Inferior Court will adopt .some measures immediately to correct this evil, and if they cannot, I propose that the merchants of Columbus raise a voluntary subscription, to put the principal bridges in good condition. MERCHANT. The ceremony of piesenting Gen. Jack son's Gold Snuff Box to Gen. Ward B. Burnett, of New York, will take place this morning at 11 o’clock, at the City Hall, Dr. Lawrence officiating, in the ab sence of Col. Jackson, and Gen. G. J. Pillon receiving it on behalf of Gen. Bur nett, who is absent. We take occasion to suggest that it would not be deemed inappropriate for our Military companies to turif out and honor the occasion, to gether with all the public spirited citi zens. —Nash viiie A mtrican.

Description of Mohammed. Mohammed is said to have been of mid dle stature; t_o have had a large head] ; strong beard, round face, and rc-Jdi h browu checks, llis biographers state lLat. his forehead was high, bis mouth wide, his nose long and somewhat of an aqualine shape ; that lie had large black eyes; that a vein which extended from his forehead to bis eyebrows, enlarged when excited by auger; that his splen didly white teeth stood far apart; and upon his lower lip was a small mole. llis hair, hanging over his shoulders, retained its dark color to the day of his death : he sometimes dyed it brown, but more fre quently applied to it odoriferous.oils. It was only at his last pilgrimage that lie had his head shaven. He trimmed his mustache and his finger nails every Fri day before prayer. llis neck, it is said, “rose like a silver bar upon his broad chest.” Between his shoulders he had a large mole, which was looked upon as the prophetic seal. A physician once wish ing to remove it, Mohammed objected, saying, “lie who made it shall also heal it.” llis hands and feet were very large, yet his step was so light as “to leave no mark on the sapd.” Mohammed spoke but little, yet occasionally permitted him self a joke. A woman once came to him, saying, “My husband is ill, and begs thee to visit him ; upon which he inquired, “Has not thy husband something white ; in his eye?” She returned in order to examine it. On her husband asking what ! she was doing, she replied, “I must see j whether you have anything white in your eye, for the Apostle of God asked the j question.” Her husband at once recog nising the joke, convinced her that this was common to all eyes. On oue occa sion, when an old woman conjured him to pray for her that she might enter par i adise, he replied, “No old woman dares ! enter paradise !” As she began to weep, i be reminded her of the verse in the Ko ran which declares that perpetual youth ; will be restored to women. Tho Arab prophet was compassionate towards ani ; mals, and would wipe down his horse, when it.perspired, with his sleeve ; but j this was nothiug extraordinary among his countrymen. llis cat was lifted up to share his own dish; and a white cock j which he had, he called his friend, con sidering him a protection against devils, I genii, witchcraft, and the evil eye! Presbyterian Statistics. The following statistics of the last ecclesi astical year were presented in the minutes of the Now School Presbyterian General Assembly. A comparison with the pro ceeding year shows that there has been a net gain of 10 presbyteries, 41 licentiates, 25 candidates, 109 ministers, IG3 ahurch es, and 20,295 communicants. The in crease in contributions for the Boards is $86,990, while the total increase of con tributions exceeds those of 1859 by $812,- 236. The number of communicants received on examination is greater than in any previous year, except 1832, when, as the results of the extensive revivals, the num ber was 34,160. In 1833 the accessions reported were 23,546. The number re ported for 1859 is 23,945. For 1858 there were 20,792, the number in that and the present year being largely increased by the revival. The following will show the compara tive statistics of the New and Old School: Old School. New School. Synods 38 23 Presbyteries 163 103 Ministers 2,577 1,545 Churches 3,437 1,542 Licentiates 297 134 Candidates 498 379 Members added onexa’n.. 23,945 10,705 Total communicants 279,530 137,990 In the foregoing statistics of the New School are included the Synods of Vir ginia and Missouri, which, however, do not properly belong to the New School General Assembly. It will be observed that, while- in the Old School body the number of churches exceeds that of the ministers by 910, in the New School the ministers outnumber the churches by three. Their candidates are also propor tionally much more numerous than those of the Old School, so that, unless they engage more extensively in missionary work, there is a prospect that they will soon have more ministers than they can dispose of. Adding together the statistics of both New and Old Schools, the following is the result Synods 56 Licentiates.. 431 Presbyteries.. 276 Candidates.. 3U3 Ministers 4,122 Total c0rn’5.419,620 Churches 5,029 Attempt of Mormons to Counterfeit Drafts upon the United States Treas ury. We have already published the news respecting the counterfeiting of Quarter master’s checks in Utah, but particulars have now been given which are worthy of notice. When Mackenzie was arrested, a lot of counterfeiting implements and many other things were taken. Among these was a set of engraver’s tools, about a dozen plates of the Deseret Safety As sociation, a large number of forged drafts, oue of them on the Bank of Eng land, many blank notes on various British banks, a large number of various notes on American banks, chiefly broken insti tutions. These things were taken from a room devoted to “Home Manufactures,” situated in a building near Brigham Young's house. Young’s Secretary op posed the seizure of the articles —saying that they did not belong to Mackenzie but to Young. It is supposed that Mormons make these counterfeits and get the Gen tiles to distribute them. They have con trol of the courts of law, and a convic tion of any Mormon is impossible. We allow for some exaggeration on the part of those who write against the Mormons, but we apprehend that there is much truth in the representations made against their morality. They seem determined to build up their religion by any means or crimes, and to be utterly hostile to all the conventions and laws of civilization. Their doctrines have not the saving grace of poetic fancy, but are wrought out of the most selfish and vulgar tricks and devices of human ingenuity. The chief misfortune in Utah is that the Mormons override all the institutions of civilization and seem to be able to draw their nets around the very officers of the Federal Government. The next session of Con gress will be called upon to pay some at tention to this anomaly in our country’s progress. Influence of ilic Moon on Plants. 1. Vines, if pruned when the moon is increasing in light, will shoot out, spread, and grow fast, particularly if done in the second quarter—because, as the light of the moon increases, so does the sap in the . tree. 2. Vines, if pruned when the moon is decreasing light, will not grow nor spread fast—particularly if it be done during the quarter, because the sap de creases with the light. 3. Timber cut down when the moon is increasing wiil soon become rotten, par ticularly if she be in her second quarter. 4. Timber cut down when the moon is decreasing, will last for years, and the more durable it will be if cut down du ring the last quarter. •5. Peas sown during the moon's in crease will bloom to the last, and will be fuli and rich in flavor; still more certain if sown during the second quarter. 6. Peas sown when the moon is de creasing in light will be just in the op posite condition. 7. The age to which a pomegranate will live, depends on the moon’s age at the time of planting: it will live just as many years as the moon was days old. 8. Plants and shrubs shoot up and take little root, if planted when the moon is decreasing in light, and in the zodiacal signs Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius. ft. If planted when in the signs Tau rus, Virgo, or Capricornus, they take deep root and do not grow tall. ♦ G.

Astor House, New York, Aug. 3. Dear l*ie. : La; t Saturday, after the week’s work was doue, Gen. Stctsori in vited me to take a seat iu hi:: Stanhope wagon, drawn by a spun of well matched bays, to visit the Astor House farm, over in Jersey. About 3:30 p. m , we got under way from Hoboken, and at a rapid pace head ed up for-Bergen Heights, crossing which we rolled down upon the thirty six thou sand acres of level, meadow land, spread out for uiiies like the vast prairies of the great West. Traversing these, we com menced ascending higher land, until we reached the farm, eight miles distant from Hoboken. Entering the gateway, we came to a halt in front of a very neat cottage, ap propriated to the use of the superinten dent, an Hungarian engineer officer. From the front of the cottage is really a magnificent view: miles and miles of green meadow, surrounded by a semi circular range of bills, clothed in ver dure, and dotted with small villages, iso lated country seats, churches with tall steeples and splendid spires, and churches of lesser degrees, but charmingly shaded by lofty trees. The farm comprises an area of three hundred acres, and is in a high State tffi cultivation. Its most interesting feature, at least for me, was the milch cows. I had heard much of the creatures, and was anxious to see them for several reasons. I was brought up among horses and cat tle, and have ever entertained a pious re gard for them. When I was but six years old, my grandfather had on his farm an old red cow that was as foml of me as she was of her calf, and sometimes mis took me for him, no doubt. She would let me milk her, ride on her back, hold her by the horns, and swing around by her caudal appendage, and never kicked me over but once, and that was tor inter fering with the legitimate calf while he was drawing his portion of the ration. Well, after resting a few minutes on the piazza, we started for the stables, and there, standing in the stalls, were about fifty of the most beautiful milch cows that I have ever seen. There were the Devonshire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Ayr shire and Durham—dun, brown, brindle and dark red—ringed, speckled and streaked, like the original Jacob’s, the marking cd’ whose cattle was the first Yankee speculation that-we read of in history, by the veritable Josephus. The whole of these kind had just been de prived of a large quantity of pure milk, which floated in tall cans, standing in cold water, and ready to be transferred to the hotel in New York. The fodder of the cows was composed of oats and barley, corn meal, bran, and cut straw and sweet liay. Every morn ing just after daybreak they are turned out in the fields to graze in clover, through which ruus pure streams of ; spring water. The cows produce 450 quarts of “ pure” milk per diem, which is all consumed in the Astor; for the guests, knowing it to be the genuine lac teal fluid, take it kindly or kinely. These cattle are all healthy, fat, and extremely gentle, with hides that shine i as if they were curried daily. There is but one bull; he is a specimen worthy of all the honors. lie is a counterpart of that blunderbuss of the ancients, who eloped with Miss Europa, from the Jsles of Greece to the Isle of Albion, whence all well fed Englishmen derive the cogno men of Bull, beyond peradventure.— There are about seventy cows on the 1 farm, but some are reserving their milk for maternal purposes, well comprehend ed by biped and quadruped in the animal kingdom. From the cattle stables we went to the pens of the “Puercos.” In the pens, and fields adjacent, are four hundred head of swine. This porcine sight would have filled with delight the heart of all Ger many —Count, Baron or Knight; for there were many that bore strong resem blance to the wild boar of the Tyrol, and other parts of Germany. One big fellow, looking like a grizzly bear, was an im- i portation from China; others again were so immeusly fat that they could scarcely waddle, and little porklings, looking like moles, their tiny eyes almost overlaid with fatness, rolled around in every di rection. We had with us the swine herd, who knew the pedigree of every hog, shoat, pig and porkling, under his super vision, and descanted upon the habits and inclinations of each of the breeds quite learnedly. In a small distillery, built for the pur pose, he had a one horse engine at work, keeping up an almighty bubbling in sev eral immense cauldrons, boiling down all the debris of the Astor’s tables. This re- j fuse provent is transported every day to the farm, to be’ made into swill to fatten the “Puercos,” and make up spareribs that would make an anchorite’s mouth water, in the season of winter, jrnlept Christmas times. We next visited the fowl yard. Here were collected upwards of four thousand ; gallinaceous indiwiddies, of every varie ty—Chinese geese, Muscovy ducks, pea fowls, Guinea fowls, turkeys, and all the different breeds of foreign and domestic | fowls that the world can produce from Adams time to the year I'JOO. -Four and five hundred eggs a day are sent over to the “House,” and even that number does not supply the demand. “Next year,” j said the fowiman, “we shall double the number of chickens, an(4 furnish all that are required.” There appeared to be over a hundred hens setting in separate boxes, whilst we were present. None of ’em cackled, however. After this inspection was over, the Gen eral led the way through the tallest corn i in the Jarseys, and tomato fields, and celery, and -beans, and peas, and onions, and egg plants, and lettuce, &c., &c., suf ficient to feed an army of vegetarians. What we did, on our return to the cot tage, is nobody’s business. ‘1 here were , several liquids about, you may be sure ; j but we punished the milk only. Yours truly, Makisls. + Wlio is 3lr. IJ. Douelly? This question is thus answered by the i Washington Star: This gentleman, the correspondent of Governor Wise, having became notori ous of late, it may not be amiss to ex plain who and what he is, politically. We have therefore to say, that he is a. resident of Staten Island, New York, and is known around the Democratic (drink ing) headquarters of. the different wards in New York and Brooklyn, for neither , more nor less than a “blower” for Dr. I Thompson, the Republican party’s health j officer at the Staten Island quarantine— 1 the most lucrative office in the gift of the Governor of the Empire State, and al ways filled By the shrewdest politician to be found, who may also be a disciple of Esculapius. As the Democratic local * political managers in that quarter often seek to influence the action of Opposition local conventions, for the benefit of the Democratic party, so the Republican managers do likewise; and Donnelly is universally accredited among the Demo cratic local politicians of the vicinage as Dr. Thompson’s “striker.” He is prone to put himself up as a candidate for po sitions on Democratic committees, petty conventions, &c., and is sure to be over whelmingly defeated on account of tha order of his affiliation with Thompson. Writing letters to noted public men is a disease with him. He then seeks to achieve a private correspondence with nearly every one of them, in turn, as they rise into prominence before the country. He is a person, further, not only utterly without position as a politi cian, but notorious as a crack-brained blatherskite, without influence of any sort, even in the political circle to ■which he has been sprouting for a dozen years ! past without 1 taking root. From what we know of Mr. Donnelly, we aro by no means surprised that the worse thin , ’ foolish letter of Governor Wise to hi.m j was aired in the newspapers so soon : as ; it was morally impossible that he could re sist the temptation to show it to hun dreds of politicians, of all grades, by way . of impressing them, confidentially, with his importance. HAMS I HAMS! IVXTR A New York Hams, Pig llama, ilxtra. 11l Sugar Cured Hams. Also a choice lot of Ten nessee Hams, well smoked and trimmed-, for dale ! by UUTifcY& e^. Gen. Jackson's Gold Snntf iloj. The ceremonies of the presentation of this relic of the hero of the battle of New Orleans..came off at Nashville on the Edit. The box was originally presented by the Mayor and Council, of New York City, to Gen. Jackson, as a testimonial of respect for his high military services. The object of the ceremony is explained in the tact, that Clio old hero left it in his will ns a prize to be contended for bv that city, and that it should be presented to the patriot who should prove himself “most valiant in defense of his country, an 1 bis country’s rights.” Col. Jackson being absent, the presentation was made by Dr. John M. Lawrence, and received by Gen. Pillow, as proxy for Gen. Bur uett, to whom the sword has been ad judged, and now absent on duly in Kan sas. The following arc the remarks of Dr. John M. Lawrence: Fellow Citizens and honored Sir: l>y the authority, and in compliance with the in structions of Mr. Andrew Jackson* (who, I regret to inform you, is unavoidably absent in the South.) I have the honor to present lo you in bis name, as the repre sentative of Gen. Ward IL Burnett, this inestimable relic, the Gold Box, which has been awarded to him by Mr. Jackson, the Executor of the will of the immortal Hero, Gen. Andrew Jackson. The following is the response of Gen. Pillow ;- Col. Andrew Jackson: In receiving from your hands this legacy of inestima ble value, bequeathed by your illustrious kinsman, I accept it with the most pro found sense of the honor conferred upon me, as the bequest of a great soldier, i awarded by you in compliance with the generous decision and judgment of my brothers in arms. The heroic Spartan who fell at the straits of Thermopylae, and who taught the hosts of Persia how strong were the liberties of Greece, when sustained by a phalanx of Spartan valor and virtue, bore as the only epitaph upon his tomb : “ Sparta hath many a worthier sou than be.” Sir, when I remember the brave ofli- | cers and men of the citizen soldiery of ! Nejy York, with whom I have had the . good fortune to bo associated in sJbnes of trial and danger—both the living and the dead—around whom the laurel and the cypress have been sadly intertwined ; I should realize a just hesitation in ac cepting the high distinction now prof fered me, and would, indeed, shrink from its acceptance were I not prompted by the liberal accord with which they have selected me as its recipient. It is an additional gratification to me that many of my fellow soldiers of the 1 Pennsylvania, North Carolina and other regiments, officers and men, have gene rally commended the action of my own immediate command. Many of the actors in the scenes, of which this gift must hereafter be a proud reminiscence, have passed away. My im mediate commander of Division in the | field, the gallant Quitman, is gone! Quitman ! the high in thought, the pure j in soul! The soldier without fear, the I patriot without reproach! His spirit, j bright and unsullied as his own true blade, far from fields of strife, now dwells I in the presence of God. With Colonels j I Butler, Baxter, Dickinson, and many | others, he now rests, companions in glory and the grave. “ So sleep the brave who sink to rest,, By all their country's honors blest.” Happily, among his many military as sociates, the gallant Generals Pillow and Shields still survive: again, perhaps, to lead the citizen soldiery of their country in the path of danger and renown. To have received the approving sanction of such men shall ever be esteemed by me the highest honor, and to deserve it, shall ! ever command my highest efforts. ; The commendations of my companion < in arms, should be regarded as no ordina \ ry honor, since next to the performance j of honorable deeds the praise of those, whom he would praise for such deeds, is | inestimable. Doubly fortunate am I, sir, that after ! years of diligent inquiry and patient re- \ search on your part, I should have been ! selected by you as the recipient of this ; bequest. Sir, I shall bear this gift with me, as a legacy of honor, from a great soldier, statesman and patriot, who loved his : country as if he had no friend ; and loved his friends as if they were his country. | Time may mar its heauty, and dim its : golden lustre, but his deeds, which the j city of New York determined to com ; memorate, will never be forgotten. I find it difficult to express the deep i emotion and gratitude with which I re- ceive this treasured relic from the emi nent soldier and civilian, whose memory ■is now so universally revered. It shall 1 be so placed as to continue fresh in tlie memory of our people, the gallantry of the immortal Jackson, and the interest he ever manifested in those who participated, however humbly, in events which have contributed to the power and greatness of our beloved country. llv myself it shall be cherished in grateful rememberance, as a memento of the generosity of these comrades, who, in your judgement, have i accorded it to me, and as an incentive to ! be ever ready to serve our country, should ! my services be required again upon the 1 battle field.

The Atlanta Intelligencer, in a notice of the sen of Col. L. T. Doyal, who was accidentally killed by the discharge of a j gun, a few days since, says: ’ He was born October 20th, 1&38. He joined the Baptist Church, at McDonough, in his 14th year ; was soon after elected Clotk of the -Church, and discharged bis duties satisfactorily, until he removed to Spalding county. He was admitted to i the bar in 1808, but on account of his quiet disposition preferred farming as an j occupation. We heard his father say lie had never drank a drop of ardent spirits, smoked a cigar, or swore an oath in his life—did not know one card from another, i He leaves a young wife and sweet babe. Few can present such a record from so youthful an age. - JThe po.-t offices at Centreville, Wilkes county : and at lied Bird, Gordon county ; in this State, have beers discontinued.
