\ meeting of ihe Democratic party
of Muscogee at the Court House, iu this
city, on Saturday, nominated Elgar G.
Dawson, Iffq., for the Foliate ; ar..i Grn.
C-ii titles .1. Williams aml Robert E Dixon,
Iffq., for the 11 o ue. The nominations
.. <.ro made by ballot, ami the gentlemen
nominated received the unanimous vote
of the meeting. Two of the nominees,
Dawson ami Dixon, being present, were
called on and responded, cordially ac
cepting, and promised to do their whole
duty in the canvass. It is a strong ticket.
Improved Spring for Bedsteads.
Mr. Warlick, ol Lafayette, Ala., ex
hib.ted to us on Saturday, anew spring
for bedsteads, which is his own inven
tion. It is made entirely of wood, and
i-o simple that any ordinary mechanic
f ill make them, at a cost of a few dol
lars, not. exceeding five. In our judg
ment, it is fully equal, if not superior,
to anything that lias yet been offered to
the public, and if it bore the impress of
New London, New York or some other
Northern town, it would supersede all
other spring beds, but, unfortunately, it
bails from a Southern town and State,
and will have to combat a mighty array
of prejuuice to get into general use. It
is the best arranged spring for steamboat i
berths we have ever seen, and should be !
adopted by every one of them. Mr. War
lick will remain in cur city a few da vs,
tu exhibit his patent, and we trust that
before be leaves the city someone of
our furniture dealers will secure the
right to manufacture and sell them. We i
are satisfied that they need only be tried j
to come into general use, and supersede !
all others.

Tlie Passenger Connection.
The track for the connection of the j
passengers trains on the Montgomery and
Muscogee Rail Roads, is nearly comple
ted; so near that the train of the .Mont- j
gomery Road is able to approach near |
enough to the passenger train of the Mus- i
cogee Road to exchange passengers and j
baggage without the aid of vehicles, which
they did yesterday morning and last even
ing. The want of a sufficiency of iron on !
the ground is all that has prevented its’
now being complete. The passenger j
connection may be considered made as j
the service of omnibuses is no longer ;
required. We congratulate the roads, and j
particularly the Muscogee, that this great j
barrier to the travel has been removed, j
The passenger depot for the local j
transit on the Montgomery Road, will !
remain as heretofore.
Can’t You tube a Back Street!
We noticed on Saturday afternoon, !
two policemen taking a man along Broad j
street to the guard house. We have no j
sort of objection to drunken and r iotous j
men being put in the guard house, in j
fact, we are strong and uncompromising j
advocates for it, and always say, well |
done to our policemen, when they do
their duty in this respect. Yet we beg
leave to suggest to them that there is no |
possible use in carrying a drunken man ;
through the entire length of Broad street
to do it. It looks as if you were trying
to show your prowess in capturing a poor
drunken man, gentlemen, and really dis
gusts the community rather than pleases
them. Besides, we object to the way you
brandish your clubs. A brave man and true
officer never exults over his captive, and
seldom, if ever, holds him by the collar
of his coat or shirt. It is quite as re
pectful to let your prisoner walk loose by
your side, if he will walk, and if he will
not, and must be forced, why, in the name
of all that is decent and respectable, take
a near cut for a back street, and drag the |
refractory one to prison, where but few j
eyes will witness your prowess and his |
humiliation.
Dangerous Sport.
On Friday afternoon a negro, belong
ing to Mr. 11. S. E<tes, was riding a very
gentle horse from the city, and when near
Mr. Ilazelton’s residence, a kite which
was dying near by, came down suddenly
and struck the horse; whicliso frightened
him that he commenced running and
splurging, until lie threw the boy, break
ing his collar bone and otherwise injuring I
him. The great wonder is that it did not |
break his neck. We have thought often
of calling the attention of the Marshall to !
the city .ordinance in regard to flying I
kites within the city limits, but have tv, t
done so, because we did not wish to gain
for our paper the character of a general
grumbler; but this thing needs atten
tion, before another accident shall hap
pen and the lives of our wives and chil
dren be sacrificed. It is really horrifying j
to imagine what would have been the re- j
suit, had this kite fallen upon a horse j
hitched to a roekaway containing a fami- j
ly of children. This circumstance calls I
for prompt action on the part of the city j
officers, and ive do hope they will, with- j
out any delay, enforce the ordinance.
Since writing the above, we learn that j
a horse ran away with a wagon in conse- j
queuee of a kite falling near him. We
wish to know if the city corporation Ms
not liable for damages in these cases ?
Tire Trade of Columbus.
We never did fancy a way which some i
papers, not a thousand miles from us, |
have, of indiscriminately puffing and !
blowing about the trade of their city, and
the great enterprise and extremely ener- j
getie character of its merchants and other j
businessmen : for we have heretofore rest
ed content to let the columns of the three I
daily papers published and sustained in j
our city, stand as a mark of their genius j
and intelligence to surrounding towns and 1
cities. While we do not boast*as large a
population as some others, we do and
have good reason to boast of an enter
prising business community; men who j
pursue their avocations in life in a quiet
and unobtrusive way, always remember
ing that the sure road to success is hon
esty of purpose in dealing, and a free use
of printer's ink, and not forgetting to al
low him liberal pay for his labor and
space. Wc do uot boast of any gigantic j
importing houses—which, possibly, sel
d m, if ever, get beyond New York, Bos
ton or Philadelphia—but we do boast of
as large anil carefully selected stocks of
goods, either in groceries or dry goods, 1
us some celebrated importing houses. Our
merchants generally import from New
York, llostoD, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New Orleans, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Lou
isville and Nashville, occasionally from
Chattanooga, and sometimes from across
the “Mill Pond.” Still they nor we make
any blow about it, and yet, the people 1
who trade here are very well satisfied j
with tlie prices and goods, and most gen
erally come back the second, third, and
all the time. We have no objection to
others blowing; we merely wish to let the
people know that bal gas will make a
noise in its escape as well ns the pure,
but when you test it and burn it, it
smokes dreadfully, and becomes very of
fensive.
The completion of the Nashville and
Louisville Rail Road to Bolling GreeD,
Kentucky, was celebrated at Nashville,
in grand style, last Tuesday.
shall the h'tw SV.ikct he Built!
Iti -proper at the present juncture of
affairs in regard to the building of anew
market, that a few.-opgestGas should be i
offered in op posit i ■ n to a ratification of
the contract eutere 1 ir.iu between the -
Council coroußlit • and parti.-- for build
ing the same. it IVC • ii-it Uiisinfot tiled,
the action ol that committee remains vet
to lie i.,titled by Council, beso p c the city
ts pledged to a dollar. We trust tlm is
s<, and hope the Council will consider the !
subject well before they assume tbe-ex
pense. There is no earthly u-c for anew
building, and no committee was ever in
structed to plan out or contract for one;
their duties were simply to invite for
proposals to extend the present one, I
which could have been done for a few
hundred dollars, nod for which an appro
priation was made. Our city does not
wish for a building of more than one
st ry, an 1 does not require a larger mar
ket building than the present one, unless
site can establish market rules and regu
lations. It is sheer foliy, blind folly, to
run the city in debt for a building that
will cost ten thousand dollars, and for
what ? To have a Town llall. Can it he
that we are so much pressed for a room
in which to hold public meetings, that
we must xpend ten thousand dollars to
| obtain one. Have we uot Temperance
Hall, Concert Hall, the Court room, and
the Council chamber? Oh, but, says
one, our people have no place to dance in j
when they wish to give a bail, and the ■
Masons had actually to abandon the idea
: of a ball at their last celebration, because
they could not find a room sufficiently
large for the purpose. And of course
i Council must provide a place for these
occasions, even at a cost of thousands.
Was there ever a more unwise proposi
tion submitted to a people ? But what is
more strange is, that any Alderman be
lieves the peopic will stand it. They
may, but we do not believe it. But ad- .
mittwe do want anew market, the
location has never been accepted by Coun- j
cil, and is not acceptable to the people j
nor suited for its erection. After you
get the building up, four carts will en- j
-tirely blockade the street, and you would
be forced to cut off a corner of the Court
House lot, and buy out Mr. Eidenbour,
to permit persons to pass.
The whole thing is out of time and
place, and totally uncalled for. It is I
simply the work of a committee, without
any authority, and we do hope the Coun- j
cil, at its next meeting, will refuse to
recognise the proceedings.
i
Tlie Empire Mills.
It affords us much gratification to notice
the fact that another first class Flouring
Mill has been put in operation in our
city. The Empire Mills is located in the
building formerly occupied by Clemons,
Brown & Cos., as a Giu Factory. Wepaid
this Mill a visit a day or two since, and i
was very much pleased with its action.
Its machinery is large and heavy, yet
running seemingly as light as a feather j
floats on tlie breeze. Not a jar or trem
bling sensation is felt throughput the en- !
tire building. It has five run of stones,
four of Burr stone and one we forgot the j
name of, which is devoted to corn entire
ly. They each have what is called “the
siieut feed,” and one would scarcely know
the stones were running bat for seeing j
tli-e motion of the driving pulleys. In the
cleaning room they have two large re- !
volving selves, a smut machine, and an
improved wind arrangement, the itiven- j
tion of A. D. Brown, Sr., all of which :
cleans and separates the good from the
bad wheat in fine order. The entire bolt
ing arrangements are upon the latest and j
most approved principles. The samples |
of flour shown us were of a superior style, j
having a very rich color and lively body, !
and put up in handsomely labelled sacks, !
of various brands.
This Mill is calculated to turn out over
one hundred barrels of flour per day,
which will be equal in quality to any
made North or South, East or West.
It affords us pleasure, in this connec- j
tion, to speak a word in behalf of our fel
low townsman and friend, A. D. Brown, j
under -whose guiding hand this Mill has
been built. We doubt if there is another !
such in the country—where everything
works so easily and simply. We are re- ;
joiecd to have such mechanics in our \
midst, and trust he may live many years, i
to reap a harvest yet from his midnight
studies and researches. We were shown
by him several useful inventions of his, j
two of which we mention—his Thrasher, !
and his Grain Cleaner. They are simple
and plain so that a negro can use them,
and still do their work as well as more
complicated ones. Planters desiring such
things on their plantations should give 1
him a call before buying Yankee notions. ■
It is a source of much gratification to ;
chronicle the opening of such Mills as j
the above. It tends directly to strengthen ‘
the hands of the South, and make her ;
what she should be, independent of the
North and North-West, where slavery is
looked upon as a remnant of heathenism. !
Success to the Empire Mills, we say.
Tiie Hew Blai-Iset House.
Wo find in the Times, of yesterday, the
following description and notice of the
plan of the new Market House and City
Hall, which the Council have under con- i
sideration:
We have had the pleasure of inspect- j
ing this new building, and have also read
the specification and contract, by which
the contractors are to be governed in its
erection. Our city has long suffered for
tlie want of an edifice of this description
—one that will be eminently useful in
many ways, as well as an ornament to the
city.
Mr. 11. Lewis Woodruif, of our city, is
the architect of this handsome work, and
from his superior capacity and taste in
all matters appertaining to architecture, i
there can be no doubt, if the plan is
faithfully carried out, that the building
will answer every purpose for which it
is intended. And it may not be improp
er to suggest that it would probably en
sure the faithful performance of the con
tract, if the architect should be com
missioned to superintend the erection,
thus making him responsible for any
fault.
It will be erected on Oglethorpe street,
near the corner of Crawford, a much
more convenient and central position than
the present one, being the distance of a
block nearer the center of the city. The
materials, both brick and wood, to be
used in the building, are to be of the best 1
quality, subject to the strictest scrutiny of
the most accomplished judges. The length
will be 100 feet running North and South,
with a width of 45 feet. The first story,
which vv.il be used for market purposes,
will be a neat and substantial structure,
capable of supplying every necessity
that may be required ; ample accommo
dation being prepared for all who desire
to have stalls, &c.
The second story is intended to be used
for all purposes tending to the conveni
ence of all citizens, such as having a
neat and handsome Hall, for the meeting
of the Council and public meetings of all
kinds.
The height of the first story will be 14
feet, and the second 18 feet, both in the
clear when finished.
There will be 28 windows, (including
one over the front entrance,) of 12 by 24
glass, 12 lights in each, affording a most
ample supply of light and air. The en
trance stairs will be at the North or
upper part of the building.
‘ihe bell tower, on the North end of
the roof, should be made staunch enough
to support the weight of any bell neces
sary for the use of the city, a desidera
tum long needed, and which we are glad
to learn will soon bo obtained. It is
thought by competent gentlemen that the
contemplated tower will not be sufficiently
strong for the purpose ; if so, it should be
looked to in time, and remedied.
TSLEGEAPHIO.ITEMS.
Washington, Sept. 7.—As the State
department lias no telegraphic dispatch
from Mr. McLane concerning the treaty
project with the Juarez Government in
Mexico, it is presumed that there has been
no modification thereof, so as to embrace
a concession of territory to us as desired
by Mr. Buchanan. It is stated that Mr.
McLane was to ned at this firne
on account of the setting in of the sickly
season at Yera Cruz.
Some time ago Cupt. Stone made a full
statement of the circumstances attending :
tlie expulsion of himself and other Amer
icans from Sonora. This act of Gov:
Pescbtera being clearly violative of the
provisions of our treaty with Mexico,
proper measures have been taken for the
protection of United States citizens in
that quarter, and instructions are now on
their way for the purpose.
A list of the lands, embracing an area
of nearly 172,000 acres, inuring to the.
Southern Mississippi Rail Iload under the j
act of 185 G, has been certified to the State
; of Mississippi by the Secretary of the
Interior.
Norfolk, Sepl. 7.—A destructive fire
occurred here at 2 o'clock this morning.
Mechanics’ Hall and six large stores were
burned, involving a loss of nearly $40,-
000. The buildings were insured.
The principal losers were the Excelsior
Minstrels, $2,000; Bonneau’s Panorama
of the Celestial Empire, $7,000 (on which
there was no insurance); Cowdera &
Debree, druggists; Tarrant & t Co., tailors ;
Walters & Cos., paper hangers; Pepper's
restaurant, Peddle’s restaurant, and Ull
man’s shoe store, most of which were par
tially insured.
Freeport, 111., Sept. 7.—The State
Fair is a complete success. Not less than
2-3,000 people were on the ground, and
the receipts for the day amount to $5,000.
At the steam-plow exhibition this fore
noon, Fawke’s machine plowed an acre in
11 minutes. The number of agricultural
implements on exhibition was larger than
any previous year. The Farmer’s Con
vention meets this evening for the pur
pose of discussing matters pertaining to
agriculture. Friday wilWoe the last day,
when premiums amounting to $10,500
will be awarded.
St. Louis, Sept. 7.—The overland mail
from California,, bringing San Francis
co dates of the 15th of August, arrived
here last evening. The papers state that
the Town of Yallecito, in Calaveras coun
ty, was destroyed by fire on the 18th ult.
Loss not given.
A Pacific B.ail Road Convention is called j
to meet at San Francisco on the 20th of
September. All the Pacific States and
Territories are to be represented.
Philadelphia, Sept. 7. —A number of j
prominent Philadelphians have addressed *
a letter to ex-Senator Cooper, requesting i
an expression of his views relative to the
expediency of insisting on a reduction of

port duties, as issues in the approaching
National Elections. llis reply is looked
for with interest by dabblers in State and
Federal politics.
Montpelier, Sept. 7.—We have to-day
returns for Representatives from 92
towns, which show the election of 7G
Republicans and 10 Democrats, ‘while in
three there was no choice.

from the South Western News.
Tile Discussion,
The discussion between Messrs. Craw
ford and Douglass and Betlmue came off
yesterday, before a crowd of some three
hundred persons. The debate was opened
by Mr. Douglass in a speech of oue hour
and a quarter. We cannot pretend to
follow him over the same old beaten
track. Democratic extravagance, Kansas
and its appurtenances were the burden
of his song. We never undertake to write
upon Kansas of late but- we think of the
editor who threatened to write twenty
columns on the subject if his subscribers
who did uot pay up. Bail writs and Ca-sas
wouid be impotent in comparison.
Suppose the Kansas act does afford no
practical advantage to the South, and
suppose U does contain the principle of
Squatter Sovereignty (the Supreme Court
being deceived) surely it is better than
the exclusion of slave holders from the
Territories, by p-ositive congressional
prohibition. And if Know Nothings were
not so much accustomed to bare-faced ab
surdities, they would surely blush to put
on such airs about our rights after
voting for Mr. Fillmore, the'friend of the
Missouri restriction. It is said that the
Roman augurs, whose duty it was to
foretell events by the Hight of birds & c .,
could not look into each others faces
without a smile ; we think our opposition
quondam Union quondam American friends
must laugh in each others faces, when
they are pretending to be so furious
about Southern Rights.
Mr. Douglass, we suppose, is a good
lawyer and a clever, not to say handsome
gentleman, but we cannot think lie is
much of a politician. Alibis points are
old and hackneyed. He tells a very good
anecdote, with very good grace, and as a
public political debater, we fear he never
can rise above mere respectability with
any amount of experience.
His two main propositions were that
Mr. Buchanan as President and Mr.
Crawford as Congressman, were unworthy
of the support of the people.
We think he might have left Mr. Bu
chanan in peace, as he is no candidate
tor office. Mr. B’s. record is before the
people, and though it is not without its
blemishes, so far as the rights of the
South are concerned, it must receive ;
the commendation of the Southern people, j
Its errors are as much condemned by j
Democrats as Know Nothings.
In Mr. D’s. attempt to show Mr. Craw
ford was unlit to represent the Second !
Congressional District, he made no attack j
upon Mr. Crawford's* votes or acts, un- !
less it was-in relation to some little mail :
matters, and perhaps the Conference Bill, j
Mr. Crawford was very happy and for- i
cible in his reply. He showed that on all
questions of economy, the Democratic !
party, though not faultless, always pre
sented a better record than the Opposi- j
tion party —that a majority of them vo
ted to abolish the franking privilege, i
whilst a majority of the Opposition voted
against it—that many of the extravagant j
appropriations were passed by the votes
of the Opposition with a minority of the
Democrats. He stated that he had been
instrumental in saving over three hundred
thousand dollars to the Government—
that he had successfully resisted the in
crease of the tariff. He defied Mr. Doug
lass to point to his votes and acts for
which he should be condemned by his con
stituents.
The Grand popular inquest of the sec
ond Congressional District are bound to
ignore Mr. Doulass’famous bill of indict
ment against a faithful public servant,
and find “Malicious Prosecution” against
the Americus Convention.
We had almost forgotten to note one of
Mr. Douglass’ principles, as specially re
quested by him during his speech. It
was his opposition to the principles of the
Cass —Le Clerc letter. lie said “if he
were*President (which God will surely
forbid) he would sink the navy and de
stroy our colossal army in defense of the
humblest naturalized citizeu of our coun
try. We rather think he is right on that
subject, but he need not complain of the
democracy for that, for his own immacu
late Fillmore was no better than Mr.
Buchanan on that subject.
Wc close our remarks on the debate by
saying, not excitingly, that the Know
nothings were rather down in the mouth
about the discussion, .whilst the demo
; crats were, to a man, gratified and de
i lighted.
Gen. Belhune opened with line wit and
pleasantry. lie said it was manifest he
was the man for Congress Crawford
sa:<! Douglass was not fit, and Douglass
said Crawford would not do, all which he
believed, and no body said he would not
make a good representative ; so he was
iby all means the man. He said he could
beat either one of them with ease, and so
if the people wanted Crawford beat, let
them take Douglass down ; if they wanted
Douglass beat, let them take Crawford
down ; and he will do the deed.
The General said be had quit talking
about dissolving the Union ; he liai been
trying that for twenty-five years. He
wanted it understood he was always
ready for that issue.
He went into a protracted discussion of
his doctrins of Free Trade &c. lie an
nounces himself a candidate till dead or
elected. We would not be much surpris
ed to see him elected some day.

Columbus, (fa., September 13,1859. )
COTTON*—TIie receipts yesterday were 290
bales, and sales 100 bales at the following par
tieulas: 29 at 10 31, 23 at 10%. 44 at 10%, and 10
at 10%c. We heard of some 70 other bales sold,
which, however, are not reported. The market
continues very inactive, and considerable diffi
culty is experienced in making transactions.
During the past week the general trade of
our city has been much more animated. Our
grocery and Dry Goods dealers have been drawn
from their chairs and boxes to attend to the
wants of customers. Tlie fall supplies of the
dry goods men are coming in very fast, and
their shelves and counters present many rare
and choice varieties of dress goods. A general
spirit of honorable rivalvy seems to have taken
possession of this class of merchants, and they
vie with each.other as to who shall present the
greatest and handsomest variety of styles to
their customers. As yet the stocks of groceries
have not commenced arriving. Our merchants
are, however, amply supplied with large and
full stocks, and ready to offer good induce!nents
to purchasers.
COTTON —There has been but little done in
this article during the past week. Since the
opening of the week prices have declined fully
%c There have been but few buyers in the
market at any price, owing, possibly, to a want
of foreign demand aiftl the downward tendency
of eastern markets. The sales of the week
foot up abrut 300 bales, at prices ranging from
10 to lie. The latter figure was not paid for
any after Wednesday last, 10%e. being the best.
For the receipts and shipments of the week we
refer to the table annexed.

Never did we know an instance es dissatis

tions, and speak in terms of highest com
mendation ol'its magi- cal effects and medical

Clare. In almostev- ery instance where i

This valuable prepa- M ration is the proscrip

corrects acidity, and gives tone and energy
to the whole system. Jjj, It will almost instant
