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. Fire at Cairo—Gold. St. Louis, Aug. 23. — A special dispatch to the Democrat says that thirteen build ings were burned at Cairo, Illinois, this morning. Loss SIO,OOO. The Omaha Republican says that Chas.

Reading, Penn., Aug. 23. — The Demo crats of Berks county this day elected four Delegates to the State Convention, instructed to support, from first to last, Delegates to the Charleston Convention who arc in favor of the nomination of Stephen A.

The upper streams are declining, and are difficult to navigate. 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. New Orleans, Aug. 25.— We have re ceived, by an arrival here, Vera Cruz dates the 14th inst. The revolutionary movement at Jalapa has been suppressed by Rolles, who made a great many arrests. There has been no yellow fever or vom ito reported at Yera Cruz. It was reported that Gen. Miramon had sent peace commissioners to Juarez, but it is doubted. Kansas Jayliawkers. Leavenworth, Aug. 22. — Some con firmatiou of the reported outbreak in the South, on the Jayliawkers being taken to Missouri, has reached here. Capt. Mont gomery is reported to be in the field, and it is expected that lie will attempt to re capture them. Considerable uneasiness 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. LACON. 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.

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 pox.

Hobart, of Columet county, for Gov ernor, and A. S. Palmer, for Lieutenant- Governor. It is doubtful whether the delegates to the Charleston Convention will be elected by the present Convention, i which is decidedly Anti Lecompton. From Kansas. Leavenworth, Aug. 25.—The express : from Denver City has arrived here with j two days’ later news. The rush toward ! the gold diggings was incessant. 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. Geu. P. 11. 11 rittan. B. M. DeWitt, Esq., of the Richmond Examiner, and formerly of the Montgom ery Advertiser, adds his testimony to the personal worth and merit of Gen. P. 11. Brittan, who has been announced as a candidate for Secretary of State before the next Alabama Legislature. We ap pend an extract from tlie Examiner of the 20th : We heartily join in this well deserved compliment to Col. Brittan from tlie pen of his former .editorial associate, Mr. De Wolf, now of the Columbus Sun. We, too, can speak of Col. B. from editoriaL association and personal intimacy. It is with pleasure that we voluntarily add our testimony to his high qualities as a gen tleman, and to his services and sacrifices in behalf of the Democratic cause in. Alabama. 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.— Patterson ( N,. J.) Guardian, 2‘ld. + 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.
