LOCAL AFFAIR^
Declined.
Col. F. G Wilkins, who was lately
nominated by a correspondent of the En
quirer for the next Legislature from
Muscogee, has declined the honor.
Magazine Robbed.
We lcarn.that oar city Magazine was
broken into on Friday night, and ten or
fifteen kegs of powder stolen. The rob
ber or robbers effected their entrance by
breaking the locks by prying the door
with a crowbar. They have now ammu
nition enough to get up a small war with,
but are probably more inclined to gain
money than honor by the operation.
Enquirer.
This is the secoud attempt to rob the
Magazine, and''theonly one that has been
successful. During the last Spring a
similar effort was made, but with only
partial success.
♦
The Magazine Robbery.
From Mr. Bradford, the keeper, we
have ascertained the extent to which
those who broke into the Powder Maga
zine carried their depredations. There
are severity-seven quarter kegs of powder
missing, but, so far, no clue to the per
petrators of the robbery has been ob
tained.
♦
Burglary.
On Monday night, it is supposed be
tween two and four o’clock, the Glbce of
the Columbus Factory Agency was forci
bly entered, and an iron safe belonging
to it was broken open, carried to the
river bank, and about lorty dollars in
money were abstracted.
Ihe safe contained other money and
valuables, wc learn, but it being in an
envelope, escaped the attention of the
perpetrators of this outrage, who never
thought money to bo secreted there.
This fact has already caused suspicion
to fasten in a certain quarter.

Prognostics of (lie Fall Season.
For several days past our city has been
enlivened by the appearance of merchants
returning home from the North ; goods
and merchandise, destined for various
parts of the country, arrive daily by Hail
lload; and new cotton is gradually going
to the various markets of the country.
The “ Can’t-Get-Aways” are greeted
daily by the presence of some returned
absentee from the “ Brandy and Water
ing places;” the papers generally—wc
trust —will soon bo filled with announce
ments; and many other things, too nu
merous to mention, arc auspicious of the
returning life and bustle of the business
season.
Singular Phenomenon.
Sunday evening, at nine o’clock, we
witnessed a most singular phenomenon
in the Heavens in the East. About thirty
degrees above the horizon the sky pre
sented the appearance of the broad lurid
glare caused by a distant conflagration.
It extended parallel with the horizon,
apparently for the distance of ninety de
grees, from the East to the North. The
whole Heavens in that direction had the
appearance of a black cloud fringed with
blood.
The superstitious doubtless construed
it as a portent of coining evil. As it
came from the East, who knows that it is
not ominous of the civil war of the sec
tions foretold by the political Cassandras!
We suspect that it finds a solution in
the peculiar state of the atmosphere at
the time, and the refraction of the rays
of the Sun.
Miss Augusta Evaiu.
This lady, a resident of Mobile, is now
in New York city, superintending the
preparations for the forthcoming of anew
work, entitled “ Buelah.” The Mobile
Tribune pays the following just tribute to
the young authoress:
Miss Evans is the author of 41 Inez,” a
very clever fiction, (published two or
three years ago,) which attracted marked
attention among those who read it. It
was considered in itself worthy of high
praise, but, especially, as giving promise
of a future career of literary success.
The lady, as we stated a few days ago, in
alluding to her charmiug story published
in the Courant, at Columbia, is hardly
out of her teens. From so young a writer,
with so brilliant a debut, we have a right
to expect a great deal.
Miss Evans is well known to many of
the social circles of Columbus, where her !
literary success will be received with un
alloyed pleasure.
Important to Tux Payers.
Mr. Jordan L. Howell the efficient Tax
Collector of Muscogee County, has fur
nished us with the following extract from
the new Digest of the Tax Laws of Geor
gia. It is embraced in Section 75, Arti
clo 3J, Chapter 6th, of the Digest. All
interested will take notice :
•‘From and after the passage of this
Act, it shall be the duty of the Tax Col
lectors of the several counties in this
State, after the 15th of August, in each
year, to search out and ascertain, as far
as possible, all polls, professions, free
persons of color, and all taxable property
not returned to the Receiver, or on his
digest; the Collector aforesaid shall enter
said default polls, professions, free per
sons of color anti taxable property in a
book for that purpose, and shall assess
and collect thereon a double tax, and
shall pay the same into the Treasury of
the State on their final settlement with
the Treasurer, after deducting double
commissions for the same, and shall de
posit a copy of said book in the office of
the Comptroller General.
Shall tbe Mayor Suffer 1
Gen. Betiiune, according to the an
nouncement in bis paper, has commenced
action against Col. Wilkins, for false
imprisonment, we believe. This is the
first time within our recollection that the
Mayor of our city has been pros:cuted
before the Courts of the couutry for en
forcing the laws, as he was sworn to do.
It now becomes a matter of inquiry, who
shall defend Col. Wilkins iu a suit brought
against him for the discharge of his ex
ecutive duties? In our opinion, the
Board of Aldermen should, at its next
meeting, promptly authorize the employ
ment of counsel to defend him, and bear
all the expenses of this prosecution. They
should go further, if in their power and
it is possible, and have the question set
tled wtiether we have a legal City Gov
ernment, or whether the law shall be
violated with impunity, and our city offi
cials threatened with prosecution when
they enforce their sworn duty. The City
Government is, or is not a farce. If it
is, we should like to have the question 1
definitely settled before the next muni
cipal election, so that the farce may he
ended.
A Fashion Worth Imitating.
The latest “fashion” announced from
Europe is that of dressing very plainly
when going to church. Some of the la
dies of the ‘‘first class” go up to wor
ship in plain calico. It is thus sought
to encourage the attendance of the very
poor, who have hitherto withheld their
presence for lack of Sunday clothes.
Should the Fashion Plates of the next
issue of “Godey” or “Frank Leslie”
represent plain calico as the prevailing
mode for going up to worship in ; we im
agine that a few at least of the fairer sex
would lor once declare their independence
of the fashions.
The Market Ordinance Redivlvug,
The “busting” of the Market Ordi
nance. and triumph over a Corporation,
■ would, it seems, be “giory enough for
one day;’ hut Gen. Bcthunc is not satis
fied even with this achievement. In the
last Corner Stone, he has announced his
determination to prosecute those con
cerned in enforcing ihe penalty of viola
j ting the defunct Ordinance against him.
As the Mayor took the responsibility, and
became the “head and front of the of-
I fending,” lie promises to commence with
him first.
The General has no fears that the
authorities will interrupt him again, and
if lie were governed by his own personal
feelings, lie would rest upon the decision
of the Supremo Court; but the interests
of the country demand that the work
begun should he finished. There are
several principles that should be definitely
settled, and to accomplish this, lie intends
to appeal again, if necessary, to the Su
preme Court. Should he find recourse
to that tribunal necessary, its decision
may be considered a foregone conclusion.
Will the General inform us whether
the executive officers of the law are to
construe the laws for themselves, or is
that the province of the Supreme Court ?
If it is the proper function of the latter,
must a law remain inoperative until it
I shall have first decided whether or not it
is constitutional ?
i The City Ordinance and Free Negroes.
Me desire to do justice to every man,
j and take this occasion to state that our
Marshal has proceeded as far in the exe
j cution of the city ordinance, in regard to
| free and other uegroes living off the
| premises of their owners or guardians,
as he could. He informs us that in pur
| suance of a promise made to us, he noti
fied several that they must move, and
! received instructions from Aid. Tbomp-
I son to desist until the meeting of. Coun
j cil. The Council met on last Monday af
j ternoon, and what action they took we have
not learned. Here for the present the mat
ter rests. The cause of this stoppage in
th eenforcement of the city ordinance was
the expressed determination of a gentle
man high in legal knowledge to resist its
enforcement to the last extremity, backed
possibly by others who are acting as
guardians for this class of negroes. If
the position assumed by this gentleman
be correct, and the tenth section of our
city ordinances is illegal, and therefore
I null, the sooner our people are made
aware of the fact the better. If this sec
tion he illegal, what grounds have we to
rest a hope that any other section in the
Code is legal and of force ?
We consider it the duty of the Mayor
and Council to push this matter to a test,
let the cost to the city be what it may;
; and have the matter decided at once
whether our corporate authority and
government is a reality or a farce. As
we now stand, the officers are estopped at
every move by an ominous point of the
finger to the Supreme Court.
The Mayor and Council owe it to their
constituents to take a position in this
matter, firm and unflinching, and not per
mit themselves tube baulked at every
step by objectors.

From the Abbeville Banner.
Liberated from Slavery.
Patience Hicks, a young woman about
seventeen years of age, who was held as
a slave by John Guilford, a citizen of this
county, under a hill of sale made to him
by one James C. Wilson, was brought
before Judge Williams, under a writ of
Habeas Corpus, sued out-hy Mrs. Cassey
Ann Hicks, the mother of said girl, who
arrived in the town of Abbeville on Tues
day, the 9th inst. On the trial of the
case it was proved that Wilson went to
the house of Mrs. Hicks, in Columbus,
Ga., about the first of last March, where
he remained sick for several weeks. On
his recovery, he desired to marry the
young lady, and finding that her mother
was opposed to their marriage, he stole
her away and brought her to the house of
Rev. John Guilford, to whom lie sold her
fur a slave. On his return to Columbus,
he procured her brother, a boy about fif
teen years old, and sold him to a gentle
man in Georgia. The girl has worked on
the plantation and is considerable sun
burnt, which makes her appear rather
dark. But wc think that we have seen
a great many people who are recognized
as white persons, who are of a darker
complexion than this girl, even in her
| present condition. The mother, brother
; and sister of the girl are all destitute of
i means, but the humanity and benevolence
i of our citizens has contributed liberally
to the poor, unfortunate people. Below
we give the Judgment of the Court.
P. L. and Cassey A. Hicks, ) Under writ
vs. v of Habeas
: John Guilford. Contestant. J Corpus.
Probate Court, Aug. 11,1859.
In (his case Cassey Ann Hicks sued out
a writ of Habeas Corpus for the daugh
ter, Patience L. Hicks, and Cassey Ann
Hicks, tho infant daughter of said Pa
tience L., who were held in slavery by
John Guilford, of Henry, county said
State of Alabama on the grounds that
said Patience L. Hicks, and her daugh
ter, Cassey Ann Hicks,are not slaves,but
free white persons, which being contro
verted byrsaid John Guilford, the trial
came up before me at Abbeville, in said
county, on the 11th of August, 1859. j
The defendant’s (Guilford) counsel moved
to dismiss the petition and writ of Habe
as Corpus for want of jurisdiction, and
referred to the case Field, vs. Milley
Walker, et. at, 17th Ala., page 80. The
court overruled said motion on the ground
that said petition and said writ of Ilabe- j
as Corpus, claimed the said Patience L.
and Cassey Ann Hicks as free white per
sons and not as free negroes as in the
case referred to. The Court then pro
ceeded to hear the testimony in said
case, when four witnesses took the stand
and proved beyond the possibility of it
doubt, that the said Patience L. and her
daughter, Cassey Ann, are free white per
sons. Three of the witnesses knew the
‘■ said Patience L. from her birth, against
whose evidence nothing Las been urged.
Besides, the fact of the freedom of the ‘
said Patience L. and her daughter Cassey
Ann, must have come to the knowledge
of the said John Guilford, within a short
time after he claims to have purchased
them from Wilson, and after a full hear
ing of the evidence on both sides, it is
ordered, adjudged and decreed that said
Patience L. Licks, and her daughter Cas
sey Ann Hicks, be, and they arc hereby
discharged from the service of said John
Guilford, and be restored to her mother,
the said Cassey Ann Hicks, and that the
said John Guilford pay all costs in this
case, for which execution may issue.
G. W. WILLIAMS,
Judge of Probate.
The counsel for Guilford have taken
the case to the Supreme Court, not with
the expectation of again enslaving the
girl, but with the expectation of cleaving
Guilford of the Cost.

Trip of the Spread Eagle—Longest
Steamboat Voyage ever made—ln
teresting from the Upper Missouri.
We find in the St. Louis Republican,
of the 17th inst., the following interest
ing intelligence:
It has been demonstrated by the enter
prises of the American Fur Company,
that the Missouri river is navigabie for
steamboats a distance of over three thou
sand miles from its mouth.
The Steamer Spread Eagle, in connec
tion with the Chippewa, has just comple
ted one of the most remarkable trips on
record in the navigation of the Western
rivers, having traversed the Missouri
river from its mouth to Fort Benton —a
point within sixty miles of the head wa
ters of the Columbia, and three thousand
■ one hundred and twenty miles above the
mouth of the Missouri. This is nine
hundred miles above the mouth of the
Yellow-stone, and seven hundred miles
further than any other steamboat has ev
er been.
The Spread Eagle left St. Louis on the
28th day of May—three days after the
Chippewa, and arrived in this port yes
terday, at 2 o’clock P. M., performing a
distance of over 0,200 miles in seventy
n nc days.
The memoranda of the Chippewa on
her up trip have already been published,
I and nothing of special interest occurred
on the down trip of the Spread Eagle,
i The Spread Eagle left the Chippewa
bound down at Sioux City, and that boat
| will be in port in a day or two. The
Chippewa left the mouth of Yellow Stone
; on the 3d day of July, and arrived at
! Fort Benton on the 17th. She left Fort
| Benton on the 18tb, and caught the
j Spread Eagle on her down trip at the
j mouth of White River on the 2d August.
She took to Fort Benton 130 tons freight,
consisting of Indian annuities and the
I outfit belonging to the American Fur
! Company.
The Chippewa had very little trouble
I iu ascending the river above the Yellow
i Stone, excepting on Douphain’s Rapids,
j where they were obliged to haul her
! through by a line. The Indians were
J quiet, and expressed themselves well
| satisfied with their presents. Game
above the mouth of Yellow Stoue was very
abundant. Large bands of Buffalo, elk
and mountain sheep might be seen at any
moment, together with any quantity of
grizzly bear. The trip has been demon
strated to be practicable, the Chippewa
having made it in low water. One month
earlier, she would have had no dificulty
in ascending tho Rapids before [men
tioned.
The Spread Eagle had among her pas
sengers a number of mountain men, and
tourists, together with a company of
seventy-three United States troops, under
command of Lieuts. Dana and Weeks,
from Fort Randall, bound for Fort Ridg
ley, to join a company of Fourth Artil
lery quartered at that post. The troops
left on the steamer Pembina for St. Paul
last evening.
As freight, the Spread Eagle had 4,331
packages of bufi'alo robes and furs, for
Pierre Chouteau, Jr., & Cos.
Mr. Wimer, a celebrated artist of this
city, made the trip on the Spread Eagle,
and has replenished his portfolio with a
variety of sketches of Indian life, and the
wild scenery of the Northwest. Mr. Wimer
had been in these regions before, and
the public are sufficiently acquainted
with the productions of his pencil.
Mr. Charles I*. Chouteau and Capt.
Jno. B. Laßarge, both kept journals of
the trip, but had nothing prepared for
publication. Both these gentlemen de
serve great credit for tho successful ter
mination of the longest steamboat voyage
ever made in the West, and we regret
that it is not in our power at present to
publish a detailed account of it.
Later from Mexico.

it is expected that lie will attempt to re

existed, and the renewal of the old dis
turbances is anticipated.
For the Daily Sun.
Stick to Your Trade.
The writer is not without some obser
vation and experience in the business of
the world, and by both lie is taught that
it is far better for a man to stick to his
trade than to be shifting about from one
thing to another. Suppose lie is en- |
gaged in a calling that does not pay him j
as well as he desires, be should consider
well before he abandons it for another, j
whether in making the change he is likely ‘
to gain anything—seeing that every call
ing has its advantages and disadvantages
—and there is scarcely one that a man
can enter, that will enable him to accu
mulate rapidly. In making such a change
it must be considered also, that sacrifices
have to be made, both in closing one
business and commencing that which is
new. Asa general rule, those who stick
to their callings and follow them dili
gently, do far better than those who shift
from one to another. Every one can sat
isfy himself of this, by calling to mind
the history of persons of both classes,
with whom he has been acquainted in
by-gone years. How few have succeeded
well, who have been given to changes!
Is the reader a mechanic? Stick to your
trade. Is he a merchant? Bea mer
chant still. Is he a farmer? Never
abandon your farm. Pursue your call
ing with diligence, and ere long you will
flourish, while those who are changing
around you will be coming to poverty.

TLe Kflfect of a Bad Name
The Baltimore Daily Exchange tells
the following good story :
The following incident is vouched for
by what we consider good authority, and j
we deem it our duty not to withhold it j
from our merchantile friends:
A gentleman of this city had been ne
gotiating a partnership with a citizen of
Harrisburg, who was decided against
coming here by having witnessed the fol
lowing occurrence a short time pre
viously : A party of some nineteen mer- j
chants arrived in Harrisburg, and all had
tickets for Baltimore. One of them saw
in the paper the account of the murder of
Taylor, by Burk, and remarked that “he
would not go to such a cut throat city.”
Another observed, “he prefered to pur
chase goods in Baltimore, but was afraid
to risk bis life there ;” and the result was,
the whole party 4 changed their tickets and
went on to Philadelphia. Some may
thiuk the newspapers which published the
account of Taylor’s murder, to blame for
all this, but unless obituary notices, and
the verdict of the coroner’s juries are ex
cluded from print, such facts must leak
out. We are among those who believe
that unless confidence in law and order
are speedily restored in Baltimore, that
the dullness of the present season will be
the rule, and not the exception, in the
business of this. city. We have not the
slightest doubt that our political condi
tion is telling fearfully ngaiust our pros
perity at the present time.

Shot.
The Talladega (Ala.) Reporter says:
Mr. Wm. Sanders, a young man raised
in this vicinity, was shot on Monday last
by Mr. John Driscal, a near relative of
‘his, at the school house in Howels Cove.
Mr. Sanders is still living, but is believed
to be fatally wounded. He received two
shots from a repeater: the first cut off
one of his fingers and the second entered
his body in the region of the abdomen.
Driscal has not been apprehended, we
learn. ‘
The dieffiulty which led to this unfortu
nate result is said to have grown out of
the whipping of a brother of Driscal at
school by his teacher, who was the broth
er-in-law of Sanders and the Uncle of
Driscal.

An American Officer on tile Field
of Solferino.
In Dickens’ “All the Year Around,’ is
an interesting letter from the field of Sol
ferino. on the night after the terrible bat
tle. The writer was in company with an
American officer, who during the battle
wandered about the field indiscriminate
ly, at one time finding himself amongst
the Austrians, then with the Piedmont
ese, and finally took up a position with
the French. At night he camped upou
the field, but could not sleep for the
groans of the wounded in the act of re
moval. Hearing a cry of anguish near
by, be proceeded to the spot and found
an Austrian officer, whose thighs had
been dreadfully torn by a cannon ball.
He went to a cottage for aid, but the oc

i to settle, in conjunction with a Costa lli-
I can Commissioner, the claims of our citi
| zens against that Republic.
Washington, Aug. 25.—1 tis known
| that a report has for some months pre-
I vailed of the probability that Comman
der Maury, in charge of the National
j Observatory, would be ordered to sea ser
| vice. Newspapres and men of science
! in this and other countries have, in con
j sequence, expressed their regret at this
j (rumored) contemplated act by the Navy
j Department. On inquiry, however, at
| the proper source, it is ascertained that
|at no time has Secretary Toucy ever
| thought of detaching him from the Ob
i servatory for the above named or any
j other purpose.
i Lieutenant Ives, the architect and en
gineer, in charge of the Washington Na
tional Monument, has made an official re
port to the Society, in which he says that
when raised to the height of six hundred
feet, the entire weight of the shaft and
foundations will be seventy thousand tons,
j The weight of the structure, in its pres
j ent condition, is forty thousand tons. He
has been unable to detect any appear
| ances of settling or indications of insecu
rity. By scientific calculations lie has
arrived at the conclusion, that the weight
alone of the monument, at its full height,
would offer a resistance nearly eight
times greater than the overturning effort
of the heaviest tempest to which it would
probably ever be exposed.
It was proposed to the Monument So
ciety, many years ago, to surround the
foot of the obelisk with a base of a Pan
theon form, and an engraving was made
of the Monument as it would appear, if
completed in accordance with that plan.
An impression has been in this way cre
ated throughout the couutry that the
engraved design bas been adopted, and
cannot now bo deviated from without
tearing down what has been already
built. But as it has not been the inten
tion of tho Society to accept the plan re
ferred to, and as tho error which existed
seems to have an injurious effect, Lieu
tenant Ives suggests tho expediency of
notifying the public, officially, that the
obelisk is the only portion of the Monu
ment, the form of which is decided upon,
and that the determina'ion of the design
for the base is still open for consideration.
In this suggestion of Lieut. Ives the So
ciety has concurred.
Mortality in Boston.
Boston, Aug. 25.—The mortality in
Boston for the week ending Saturday
last, was 92, of which five were of small

gious disease having increased the ave
rage deaths.

Baltimore, Aug. 25.—The American

will be elected by the present Convention,

Singular Decision.
The New Orleaus True Delta says:
A most singular decision, to say the
least of it, was recently rendered in one
of the San Francisco courts. A female
of notorious bad character, named Kate
j Allen, was brought before the judge on
| a charge of stabbing a man named
| August Wilkey. The man bad entered
the saloon of the defendant, and after
drinking a few times, he laid down a $lO
piece and called for the change, which
she refused to give him ; a difficulty en
sued, and the defendant broke a window
in the saloon, and was stabbed in the arm
by Kate. When the case came up in the
court, the testimony was rather conflict
ing, and his Honor remarked that “it
was the testimony of an old prostitute
against that of a discharged soldier, each
; being of the same value.” This was cer
j tainly placing the character of the soldier
ion a very low scale. For aught that ap
! peared ou the ti ini, according to the evi
dence in the matter, the man was enti
; tied to full belief. The judge saw fit to
j view it otherwise, and dismissed the case.
| So the abandoned woman was turned
j loose upon the town, to renact her mid
: night orgies with more assurance than
! ever.
Chivalry in n Court Room.
Francis Pratt, of Memphis, the man
who was some time since fined fifty dol
lars by the Recorder of that city, for
whipping his wife, was before that officer
again a few days since, charged with
selling liquor without a license. The
Argus says the case was clearly estab
lished, but in consideration of an exten
uating circumstance, the lowest fine was
inflicted—ten dollars and costs. Mr.
j Pratt, who is considered by the police a
troublesome customer, threatened to ap
peal from the decision of Judge East,
when he was informed that if he wished
to do that, the fine would be raised to
fifty dollars. After some deliberation he
handed the Recorder a twenty dollar bill,
telling him to take the fine out of that.
‘ an l he would keep the remainder to buy
ammunition to settle all differences be
tween them across the river. Strange to
say, the Recorder did not commit him to
prison for contempt of court. Pratt, it
will be remembered, challenged the Re
corder after the termination of bis pre
vious trial. Such insolence should not
be suffered to go unpunished.
Washington, Aug. 25. — Immediately
on the accession of Lord John Russell to
office, as Foreign Minister of England, he
addressed to this Government a dispatch
! earnestly remonstrating against the re
opening of the slave trade between the
United States and Africa, and against the
lukewarmness of Mr*Buchanan’s Admin
istration iri that regard. If the dispatch
j is ever published it will produce a sensa-
J tion, especially in the slave buying States.
I. Donnelly, Esq., has made public (he
following statement with regard the
recent letter of Gov. U i.-.e :
“The publicity given to the letter from
Gov. Wise to me, of the 18th of July last,
has been the cause of much animadver
sion with regard to my name and charac
ter. Some of the political journals have
been so unjust as to charge that I opened
a correspondence with Gov. Wise for the
purpose of afterward betraying his confi
dence. I care little about the other im
putations that have been cast upon me in
connection with this subject, but I con
fess I feel deeply wounded by a construc
tion of my course which, for the first time
in my life, imputes to me treachery to
those who have confided in me. Gov.
Wise has imputed no such suspicion so
injurious to me. My letter to him was
prompted by feelings of the warmest ad
miration for him. and gratitude for his
political services in arresting the career
of proscriptive Know Notblngisui at the
South. No candid man can read it and
believe otherwise. His reply to me sug
gested a c urse that required the co-ope
ration of friends, and was written to dis
abuse certain Democrats as to his per
sonal relations to political leaders in this
State, and this made it necessary to im
part its tontents to others. How con’d l
possibly have forwarded them? Their
success required the co operation of Dem
ocrats in the several Congressional Dis
tricts. It is true, I left the letter in the
hands of Mr. Cassidy, of the Albany Atlas
and Argus, whose public and personal
character aiforded a sufficient reason for
my doing so. How, by what circuitous
channel, and whether by accident or de
sign, it was put within the reach of the
public press, are questions that belong to
Gov. Wise and myself, rather than the
public; and when the proper time cames
they will he settled satisfactorily to us, if
not to others.
“I leave the question, however, and
that of my own character, so far as in
volved in it, to the vindication which time
is sure to bring about; meanwhile, I only
request of the press that it give the same 1
publicity to my defense it has given to
the accusations so recklessly hurled at i
me.
“In conclusion, let me say that Gov.
Wise has friends in this State, who are
not to be turned from him by the abuse
or clamor of his enemies, still less by any
mischievous misrepresentation of his lan
guage. B. DONNELLY.”
Letter of tlie King of Portugal oil
tlie Death of Hie Queen,
Corporations and dignitaries of Stale
having presented to the King of Portu
gal addresses of condolence on the occa
sion of the Queen’s death, the King ad
dressed the following letter to the Duke
of Terceira, President of the Council:
My Dear Duke : There are few conso
lations for grief such as that which now
afflicts me. It is indeed a hartl trial to
which Providence has been pleased to sub
ject me. It is sad to have known the
greatest of misfortunes at the age of am
bition and of the illusions that usually ac
company it. lam resigned to my lot, and
I will fulfill my duties for what my lot is,
and not for what it might have been. To
do this I need only the example of the
consort I have lost before I had scarcely
begun to appreciate the treasure it was
my happiness to possess ; it was a heart
for this world and a soul for Heaven 1 In
the four years of my reign my people
and myself have been fellow-sufferers;
conscience tells me never to forsake them
as they have never forsaken me ; for now
I look round for consolation I find it only
in religion, which commands me to be
lieve and to hope, and in the teai’3 of the
Portuguese nation, which flow with my
own. Please to transmit the expression
of my profound gratitude to the corpora
tions and persons who, in the days of
mourning we have passsed through, re
member that iu their midst is one who
suffers, and suffers much. Believe in the
sentiments of affection and consideration
with which I am sincerely penetrated to
wards you. D. Pedro.
Receipts of tlie American Hoard of*
Foreign Missions,
The receipts of the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, for
July, were SOO,OIB 82. This is the
largest sum received during any one
month since the board was organized.
The receipts for June and July amounted
to about SIOO,OOO. Os the amount re
ceived for July, Massachusetts gave
more than one-third. The total receipts
for the year, ending July 31st, including
donations and legacies, amounted to
$326,000. Os this sum, Massachusetts
gave $120,000.
The deficit of the year will be $30,000,
which, added to that of last year, will
make the debt $70,000. The meeting
of the Board in 18(50 will be held in Bos
ton, and will close up the 50th year since
its organization. It is hoped that the
half century anniversary will tend to
create a deeper feeling in the religious
community on the subject of Missions,
incite to a more cheerful giving, and thus
wipe off the debt.
It will be a great misfortune for the
Board to call home, for want of funds,
any of its missionaries, or give up any of
its schools; and yet this must be done
unless the friends of the missions greatly
increase their subscriptions.
The meeting of the Board for this year
will be held at Philadelphia, commencing
on the 6th of October.
Douglas in Mississippi.
The Democracy of Noxubee county,
Miss., held a meeting recently, at which
they thus:
Resolved, That while we have hitherto
abided by ther usages, and supported the
nominee of the Democratic party, we, a
portion of the Democratic party of Mis
sissippi, deem it not improper to declare,
that should the lion. Stephen A. Douglas
be the nominee of the Charleston Conven
tion, as a candidate for the Presidency,
ive cannot and wili not support him which
said resolution was adopted without a
dissenting voice.
Noxubee county, in 1851, gave Senator
Davis a majority over Foote, in (he race
for Governor. Davis came out first as a
Southern Bights candidate; but as the
Democratic party re-organized in the
State soon afterwards, he identified, him
self with it’s fortunes, and received its
support.

A Negro Army lu Cuiia.
Havana, Aug. 13.—There are to le
sixteen companies of black and colored
militia in this island, one hundred and
twenty-live men in each company. The
commissioned officers are to be white vet
erans, who are to be paid four-fifths of
full pay during peace, and full pay in
time of war. The recruits are to be ob
tained voluntarily, and if a sufficient
numbershould not volunteer, thenaforced
enlistment is to be resorted to. The re
cruits must be robust, between twenty
and thirty years of age, and not less
than live feet in height. They are to en
joy the same immunities as the white
troeps, and be subject to the same pun
ishments. This would appear to be rath
er a dangerous experiment in an island
wherein, according to the last official cen
sus, there weie 640,220 free people of
color and negroes, and only 425,226 white
inhabitants. The Spanish army is to be
increased to one hundred thousand
Am Editor's Wedding.
Au editor recently took it into his head
to get married in New Orleans, and a
glorious time lie had of it. The groom
was Joseph Hanlon, an associate editor
ot the True Delta newspaper. The bride
was born in Havana, of Spanish-parents,
l ive hundred invitations were is-ued, two
hundred aud fifty of which were transla
ted into French and sent to the families i
of foreign descent, and two hundred and
fifty were sent to the families of the
American population.
The marriage ceremony took pl.n - • in
church, and was performed by Rev.
Father Monnihan. The galleries, the
aisles cf the church, and every part, were
filled with a gay and brilliant audience : 1
the church was illuminated, and the
altars decorated
After the usual ceremony of the ring, j
sprinkling of holy water, and signatures
by bride and groom, with their friends as :
witnesses, the party left for the elegant
residence of Mr. Morton, the step-father
of the bride. On their arrival, thy found
a large crowd assembled, which entirely
filled up the street. A band of music i
heralded their arrival. Dancing then
commenced, and the house and surround- !
ing grounds rapidly filled up.
The yard of the residence was covered j
by a tent and illuminated by colored Chi- j
nese lanterns lighted with wax candles, j
In this tent was placed a table loaded \
with all the luxuries and delicacies of the
season.
At about eleven o’clock a splendid dis- !
play of fire-works came oft', consisting of j
rockets, Roman candles, Bengal lights. J
blue lights, table rockets, and revolving
wheels. At one o’clock a German brass
hand made their appearance ; and, after
a brilliant serenade, entered and played
to the dancers. During the evening an
hour was appropriated to a concert, in
which the guests participated, which eli
cited rapturous applause. Miss Dimitry,
daughter of Professor Dimitry, and niece
of the learned linguist, Professor Dimitry,
now filling a public station at Washing
ton, played a piece on the piano, with
variations, that enraptured every one.
The whole matter ended pleasantly,
and for an editor’s w'edding, it was some
thing out of the usual order of things.

A Lost Cliilil Found—An Exciting
Search.
On Monday morning, the 15th inst., a j
little daughter of Benjamin Morse, resi- |
ding near the lower end of Greenwood l
Lake, strayed from home, taking to the
mountains. She was not missed until
about two hours afterwards, when search
was made, hut no trace of her was dis
covered. An alarm was raised, ami the
whole neighborhood turned out, explor
ing every nook and corner for a long
distance around. That night the search
was continued with lamps, hut without
success. Tuesday and Wednesday the
crowds increased until they numbered
three hundred in all, divided into thirty
or forty groups—still no intelligence of
the missing child.
On Thursday morning, while Anthony
Rhinespith was conducting an exploring
party in tlie Burnt Meadow mountains,
about four miles East of the child’s home,
lie observed a little one rushing through
the underbrush, as if afraid of pursuit.
He sprang to her, and soon found her to
be the object of his search. She had
subsisted all that time without food, and
slept on the ground. Her age is three
years aud seven months. Iler parents in
despair had given up hope of ever again
seeing their loved one alive, and suspi
cion was beginning to be directed against
a neighbor for having decoyed her off
and murdered her. The gratification of
her parents cannot easily he imagined.—

The settlement of the Mississippi val
ley began in 1778, in which year tlie first
colony, or united company of emigrants,
lauded at Marietta, in Ohio. They had
crossed the Allegkanies to Brotvnstone, on
the Monougahela, and then embarked on
a flat-boat or ark, and floated down to
tlie mouth of the Muskingum river.
They were bold and determined men, ev
er actuated by the principles of truth,
; virtue, and industry. From this germ,
I in 15 years, arose the State of Ohio.
Since 1803, when Ohio was received,
ten more States have been ndmited into
the Union fronting on that river, eight
on its west, and two on its east banks,
namely—Louisiana, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas, Michi
gan, Wisconsin, lowa, and Minnesota,
besides the Territories, one of which,
namely, Kansas, is nearly ready for ad
mittance.
While these developments have been
going on in the West and Southwest,
; Alabama, Maine, and Florida, in the
i East, and California and Oregon, on the
i Pacific coast, have been admitted. Add
ing to these the primal trio of Vermont,
Kentucky, and Tennessee, and the in
crease of States in sixty-one years is
precisely twenty. If an equal increase
| marks the coming sixty-one years, we
i shall stand, in 1920, at fifty-three States,
I with a population of one hundred and
twenty millions.— Washington States.
