Gsn, Mirabean It. Ihamnr
This distinguished son of Georgia—
poet, statesman and warrior—whose name
is so nearly identified with all the great
deeds that secured the independence of
Texas, has arrived once more amongst his
old friends, and is stopping at the Perry
House, lie is looking finely. Times of
Saturday.
We have been presented by Mr. Am
brose Branuan, of Bussell counly, Ala.,
with a bottle of his whiskey. It has been
much improved, and we feel justified in
pronouncing it.superior. We learn he
has recently greatly improved his facili
ties for distilling, and is able to supply a
large demand. The article produced by
Mr. 15. is pure—a thing long needed by
tho planters.
Spalding iir.il Rogers’ Circus.
By reference to the advertising col
umns, it will be seen that the celebrated
circus of Spalding & Rogers’ of New Or
leans, will exhibit in Columbus, on Fri
day and Saturday the 7th and Bth of Oc
tober next. The amusements and diver
sions of the ring are - so popular, that a
simple announcement of the coming of a
Circus is generally sufficient ; but in this
case, tiio accounts we have seen in papers
published where it has exhibited, say they
perform all that they advertise.

Throwing Polionuus Substances in
to tiie Streets.
Mayor Wilkins informs us that com
plaints have been made to him, that some
of tho citizens who have the Mock Or
ange growing in their yards, have thrown
the trimmings into the streets. This tree
is known to be very poisonous to some
cattle, and a valuable cow was killed a
few nights since, from eating the trim
mings of trees, thrown from a citizen’s
yard iuto the street.
There is an ordinance prohibiting the
throwing of poisonous or other substances
into streets, and the Mayor says, when
ever such cases arc presented to his Court,
he will deal with them as the law directs.
Persons having just cause of complaint
from such causes, should pursue this
course, as the Mayor cannot, of course,
take any but official notice of them.
Union Prayer Meetings.
These interesting meetings are now
held every morning at 8 o’clock and in
the evening at 7 o’clock in the Methodist
.Church. To-night only is there an ex
ception. The Baptist Church is substi
tuted to-night for the Methodist. The
place of holding prayer alternates weekly
between the ditferent Churches. The
Ministers and lay members of the differ
ent denominations feel much interested
in these meetings, and believe they will
do much good in this community. They
expect particularly professors of religion
to be punctual in their “ttendauce, and
earnestly invite all to lay aside for one
hour the secular employments of the day
to advance the cause of Christ’s Kingdom.
Times, [City.)
Ur. Richard 11. Lockhart.
We regret to learn of the death of this
gentleman, which took place at Knox
ville, Tenu., last week, while on his way
to llogersville, Tenn. A few weeks since
we shook him by the hand, when making
his preparations to visit Montvale Springs
to recruit his health. When he left our
city wo did not anticipate his return as
a cold and lifeless corpse, but expected
to greet him with the return of frost in
his usual health. Dr. Lockhart has been
a resident of our city for about tea years
past, and by his general urbanity of
manners and kindness to the sick poor,
he gained many friends, who will mingle
their tears with those of a large and be
reaved family circle. Our city looses a
good member of society, one, whose
plaoe it will be difficult to fill. Truly
the ways of Providence are higher than
man’s, and p\st finding out.
Mr. Crisp !n Nasliville
From the Nashville Weekly Gazette of
of 22d inst., we learn that Mr. Crisp is
winning golden opinions in that city in
Lis management of the Gaiety Theatre-
Our citizens will be gratified to learn that
Mr. Crisp with his company of talented
artists, will visit onr city early in the sea
son, about the middle of October.—
Amongst the names wbioh appear in his
bills at Nashville, we notice some familiar
names as well as several new oues. The
Nashville papers speak in high terms
of praise of every individual member of
the corps We trust that we may not
bo disappointed in an early visit from
Mr. Crisp and his Company, and that he
may make correct dramatic representa
tions, one of the institutions of our city.
Southern Independence.
We return our thanks to Messrs. Ellis
& Livingston, for a handsome water pitch
er, manufactured in South Carolina, from
a species of clay called hooline. The spec
imens ou exhibition at the auction room
of Messrs. Ellis & Livingston, arc very
fine, resembling in appearance the white
granite ware, so much praised by some
house keepers, and is equal to it in weight.
The public and the ladies e.-pecially are
invited to call and examine the specimens.
By the way, what piece of ware was that
which brother Martin refused to accept ?

Happiness.
There arc two things which will make
us happy in this life, if we attend them.
The first is. never to vex ourselves about
what we cannot help, and the second,
never to vex ourselves about what we
can help.
The Illinois State Journal says; We
are informed that sales of corn in the
field have to some extent been made at $5
and $0 per acre. Before the late rains,
the price asked w T as $9 per acre.
Sacred Music.
We profess to an enthusiasm in music,
wherever we hear it or whenever it? sweet
dulcet, strains come wafted to the sen e-.
I D awakens all that is good and j tire with
in our nature, and mikes us look away
from nur low eensu and existence to o t lle
pure and-seraphic. Secular mu>, -, due.-.
I not altogether accomplish so much in our
| feelings, but when the sweet nud plain
, live tones of the Organ, combined with
tnoilow and ricb human voices, come gent
ly tdeu!in . over us, it fills cur soul with
, tnutmeg, such as language cannot ex
press and the pen falters in the descrip
tion. It was our happiness to attend
divine service at the Episcopal Church of
our city on ia-t Sabi.at h afterti'on, and
at the close of the service, the minister
read a hymn, appropriate to the closing
of the day, ‘-Softly now the light of day
fades upon iny sight away,” just as the
last glimmering rays of the setting suu was
thrown upon the house tops, imparting a
l golden hue to surrounding objects. The
| choir seemingly impressed with the
fitness of the poets words and the occa
sion, sang forth in a soft sweet and plain-,
j Live melody, which seemed to doubly im
press every heart with the lact. Me were
in none other than the house of God and
near the very portab of Heaven, we
went away from that holy sanctuary, a’
better man, with more love to our kind and
l more charity for the cold and cheerless
‘world outside. Who can estimate the
I etfect of sacred song upon the hearts of the
| multitude? The Minister may speak nev- j
j er so eloquently, his words may burn upon |
| the hearts of the listener, and he may feel
truly that he is a stranger and wanderer
from his fathers house ; then comts the
sweet song to bring him back, in mercy
to an injured God ; as if our Heavenly
Father had given the faculty of music to
keep the convicted sinner from deeds of
desperation. May the time soon come
when every church and every fireside will
acknowledge and cultivate in its purity
this Heavenly gift.
Tiie Baptist Cliurcli.
We were shown yesterday, a drawing, ]
executed by Mr. A. C. Kirven, of our city, j
-for anew steeple and spire, for the Bap- j
tist Church which is now in course of
erection in our city. Mr. Kirven is a*
practical mechanic, and has been raised |
in our midst, and it affords us much grat
ification to notice the developments of
such native talent among our young j
men. It is proposed to alter the plan of j
the building we learn, so as to change j
the original design, to the draft of Mr.
Kirven, or one similar. His drawing re- !
presents 274 feet from the base of the |
Church to the top of spire, and will cost |
between §ISOO to $2,000 additional. This i
amount i3 a bagatelle in comparison to |
the desirable addition it will be to the
building. The drawing reliects great |
credit upon the gentleman, and we hope ;
will open the way for further drawing
from his pencil. We hope the Committee
will adopt his plan. Put us down ten
dollars gentlemen.

A .Judicious Selection.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Muscogee Bail Road on Wednes
day last, W. L. Clark, Esq. (for many
years master machinist of the Company)
was elected Superintendent of the Hoad
for the present fiscal year. This office
has heretofore been filled by the Presi
dent himself, but his duties becoming too
onerous and complicated for one man to
perform, it was wisely determined to
separate the offices, and the Directory
made a wise choice in the election if Mr.
Clark as Superintendent.
We clip the above from the Enquirer of
Monday morning, and add our testimony
as to the good taste manifested in
the appointment of Mr. Clark to the
Superintendency of the Muscogee Rail
Road. If a long and successful period of
service in rail roads can make a man
competent to manage them properly, then
Mr. Clqrk is just the man for the place to
which ho is appointed. Wee ngratulate
the stockholders in the road, our mer
chants and the traveling public on the
appointment.
A Good Example.
Next to elegant buildings, nothing
contributes more to the neatness of a
city than the appearance cf its side
walks. So great has been tlie pressure
of business in our city the present and
preceding seasons, that little time could
be appropriated towards the improve
ment of pavements. We are gratified,
however, to observe a gradual change
in this particular. One or two mer
chants and other business men, have
replaced the old and rough bricks
with entirely new ones, which adds much
to the appearance of their places of busi
ness. We are rejoiced to see this. Noth
ing is more disagreeable in this era of
high heeled shoes than a brick pavement
worn rough and jagged by time, and un
less there is a general desire to inaugu
rate a change of fashion in this particu
lar, there will be soon, we are confident,
a general attention to the condition of
side-walks.
There is something so neat and invit
ing about a smooth pavement,that we hope
the desire for renovating them will be
come a mania.
Bequest to Girard College.
The Directors of Girard College- have
received information that Lawrence Tod,
a citizen of Macoupen county, Illinois,
who died some weeks since, has devised
his estate to the institution. It appears
that Tod, who was of Danish parentage,
came to this country at an early age, and
adopted the sea as his profession. As the
captain of a packet running between
Philadelphia and New York, he became
well acquainted with the character and
1 history of Stephen Girard, and seems to
1 have carried to the West, where he went
soon after, a most exalted idea cf the
1 disposition which Girard made ‘of his
estate. With this feeling he has devised
to the college his estate, which will
amount, if not impaired by litigation or
accident in its settlement, to about SBO,-
’ 000. Tod was unmarried, and had no
! relations in this country, except a broth
er, who, by a singular coincidence, died
in a distant part of the State only two
! days hes. re Lawrence.— Philadelphia Led

Large Greek Contract.
We learn from tlie New York Journal
of Commerce that the American Bank
Note Company of that city, has just com
pleted a contract for the National Bank
of Greece, providing that institution with
notes of various denominations, engraved
iu the highest style which the art has yet
attained in any country. This is the first
contract of any magnitude, for bank cote
engraving, ever executed iu this country
tor any European Government, and, hav
ing been awarded to United Stales en
gravers, contrary to all precedent, and
in face of the strong competition offered
by the engravers of Europe, may very
naturally be construed as a high compli
ment. to American art.—.V. O. Bulletin.

Tlie Kentucky Millionaire.
Tiie late Robert WickliiTe was one or
, the most, extraordinary meu this count! y
has produced. A native of Virginia, he
emigrated to Kentucky when a youth—
pool, unlettered —and at first earned his
. bread as a day laborer, his compensation
for each day'.- hard toil being only* the
paltry sum of fifty cents! and yet thi>
poor, hmd working youth, became r.Ti
’ eminent lawyer and statesman, and when
lie died, lie was the richest man in Kcn
| lucky, being wortli several millions of
j dollars. He owned several hundred ne
groes, and in Fayette county alone, five
hundred broad acres of the soil belonged
!to him. The Paducah Herald remarks
j of Mr \Vicklitfe, that as a laborer he was
j noted for his faithfulness, his industry,
■ and the amouir of work which he couid
’ perform. At the whip saw he was un
equalled, and on many occasions he cut
. down the timber and split out five hun-
I dred rails a day. In the palmiest days
of his popularity and wealth he never
j ceased to boast of his achievements as a
I laborer. He studied law, while a labor
i er, at night, by the light of the fire ; and
| when first admitted to the bar he gave
j but small promise of attaining the posi
, tion which he afterwards won. But in
dustry ana perseverance never fail of
success, and it was verified in a signal
manner in the case of Mr. IVickliife. Time
very soon demonstrated that his studies
had developed a very high order of
genius, of which his friends had not con
ceived him possessed, and which only
needed this culture to place him at the
head of the bar in Kentucky, lie was
truly a great man : and in every respect
was a better man than the world gave
him credit of being. He had bitter ene
mies who did him great injustice ; but he
! had many warm friends.— Philadelphia
, Argus.
Ah Aerial Sliip.
All aerial ship called the “City of New’
York,” intended for a transatlantic voy
age, has been in the course of construc
tion for some months past inthe vicinity
of New York, and is now so nearly com
pleted that she will be ready to under
take the trip in October. The aeronaut
who has charge of the enterprise is Mr.
Low-e, of New Hampshire, who has made
several successful ascensions. The di
mensions of the ship are greater than
those of any balloon previously built.
The capacity of the gas receiver is 725,-
000 cubic feet. The aggregate height
of the balloon from the valve to the bot
tom of the boat, is upwards of three hun
dred feet. Mr. Lowe proposes to go di
rectly from New York to Loudon, in for
ty-eight to’ sixty-four hours. Dropping
below r the basket is a metalic life boat in
which is placed an Erricson engine ; its
particular purpose is the control of a
propeller rigged upon the principle of
the screw, by which it i.s proposed to ob
tain a regulating power. The applica
tion of mechanical power is ingeniously
devised. The propeller is fixed in the bow
of the life boat, projecting at an angle of
about forty-five degrees from a wheel, at
the extremity of which twenty fans radi
ate. Each of these fans is five feet in
length, widening gradually from the
point of contact with the screw, to the
extremity where the w’idth of each is one
and a half feet. Mr. Lowe claims that
by the application of these mechanical
contrivances, his air ship can easily be
raised or lowered to seek different cur
rents of air, that they will give him sim
ple steerage way, and that they will pre
vent the rotary motion of the machines.
Iu Hunt's Merchants’ Magazine for Au
gust there is an article which labors to
show that the canals have seen their
palmiest days ; that, henceforth, tht*y
cannot pay their way, still less ever be
able to discharge the indebtedness creat
ed on accouut of their construction. The
reasoning by which the writer reaches this
gloomy conclusion is, that powerful com
petitors arc in the field with them; that
in our fast age railroads are sure to sup
plant them, as telegraphing supersedes
posting by mail, and express companies
run off with the railroad business. The
New York Times says, “the illustration
is a very good one, and when the writer
shows that the telegraph has rendered
the mail bags useless, or that the express
companies have ruined the railroads, we
shall be prepared to agree that the
railroads of New York have killed the ca
nals. There is no road in the country
better prepared to carry all the freight
that offers than the New York Central.—
But during the past year, along the line
of that admirably arranged carrier, there
was in the busy seasons more freight offer
ing than it could carry without long de
lays. With all its great facilities, its ton
nage of freight in 1858 amounted to but
705,407 tons. During the same year the
canals of the State carried 3,065,192 tons.
Were the canals filled up, the freight
seeking outlet in this direction would task
half a dozen Central Rail Roads to their
uttermost capacity.”
Trade an! Commerce of Cincinnati.
The products of the various manufac
turing departments of Cincinnati are
valued for the present year at $112,254,-
000. Iu the boot and shoe trade there
are twenty-four wholesale, and three
hundred and seven retail houses. The
book publishing trade is valued at $2,-
000,000. In the clothing trade, there
are sixty-sis houses in the wholesale
business, and the value of the clothing
manufactured is estimated at $15,000,000.
In the dry goods business, there are for
ty-four wholesale, and one hundred and
ninety-four retail houses. The value of
the furniture manufactured is set down
at $5,587,000. The value of the export
last year was $91,906,506. The tonnage
of barges running between Cincinnati
and other ports, is 10,459; of steamers,
G2,7G8. Cincinnati publishes yearly a
! full statement of its trade and commerce,
i the facts being much more reliable and
full than any census report which the
general government has ever made.
The Builder’s Strike in London.
The consequence of the strike in Lon
i don is beginning to be severely felt. The
London Morning Star, referring to the
subject, says :
It is lamentable to see the evidences of
the Builder’s Strike which meet the eye
all over the metropolis. Great works are
I suspended—groups of operators are go
• ing about with nothing to do—and mas
ters have no outlet for their capital, and
no means of fulfilling their contracts.
; Here and there a contractor appears to
give way, or, at ail events, to effect an
accommodation with workmen, but on
. both sides the strike may be described as
general, with little hope of any side
y : ekling iu the struggle. Supplies con
, tinue to be sent from the country to the
operatives; but these funds are not much
1 amoDg so many, and wives may be seen
visiting the pawn shops while their hus
bands are walking the streets.

Serious Accident.
On Monday night last, between 10
and 11 o’clock, at the store corner of In
dian street lane and Farm street, occupied
, by Stephen Ilendlon, a serious and, per
haps, fatal accident occurred. It appears
that Mr. 11. was attempting to fill a fluid
, lamp, while lighted, when it exploded.—
ffm. Hughes, and a Mr. Butler were in
the store at the time, the former of whom
was so badly burnt about the body, that
his recovery is considered doubtful.—
Ilendlon was burnt about the hands and
face, and Butler also received some slight
injuries. This is another warning to those
who use fluid lamps, not to fill them
while they are lighted.— Sav. yews.

lieved, however, that nearly a year must
elapse, before anything decisive will be
attempted, owing to the insufficiency of
the land forces. It was supposed there
would be no interruption to the (ea trade.
Washington New?.
Washington, Sept. 23. —Perry McD.
Collins, Esq., consular agent at Amoor
river, Asiatic Russia, has arrived in this
city, and expects to sail in the course of
a few days, on his return thither, by the
way of St. Petersburg.
It appears from his statements, that
American commerce at the Amoor is
steadily increasing, several ships having
sailed from the United States to partici
pate this year, in its rich trade. They
have taken out assorted cargoes of mer
chandise, including cotton goods, wines,
liquors, ships’ stores, and chandlery, all
kinds of hardware, machinery, steam
engines, etc. There are now on the
waters of the Amoor, five steamers, built
in this country. A Russian officer, Capt.
l)avaudoff, at present in New York, is
superintending the construction of steam
engines and machinery, to be placed in
gun boats, to be constructed on the
Amoor, which is navigable for steamboats
at least twenty-five hundred miles. The
climate is similar to North-west Canada,
and the agricultural productions about
the same. The principal value of the
country’, as yet developed, is for its furs
and minerals; but when the steam com
munications shall be fully established,
the trade will be immeasurably increased
iu other productions, and Siberia and
Tartary will add its treasures to of
the Amoor country. From Moscow to
the head of the Amoor, a distance of four
thousand miles, are upward of five hun
dred cities, towns, and villages of indus
trious inhabitants. The Amoor Company
this year sent to the Amoor river three
or four vessels, with full cagoes, together
with iron steamers to initiate their pro
ject, namely:. To unite the mouth of the
Amoor with Siberia by a regular lino of
steam packets.
The recent ukase of the Emperor of
Russia, permitting Liberian exiles to
emigrate to the Amoor, is with a view of
settling the shores of that river, and de
veloping the resources of the country’.
The construction of rail roads is contem
plated; and also lines of telegraph, con
necting with Moscow and other distant
points.
All these movements of the Russian
Government are regarded with great in
terest, as they caunot fail to open to
American commerce a large and valuable
market to many of our manufactures.
Considering our diversified interests, in
cluding those of whaling in the North Pa
cific, and contiguous to Siberia and the
Amoor, the opinion prevails that we
should have a Cousul General, instead of
a consular officer of comparatively insig
nificant grade with an insufficient salary.

Latest from Lake Superior—A Severe
Mail Storm.
The fine Detroit steamer “Illinois” ar
rived from Lake Superior yesterday morn
ing.
A correspondent writing from the Min
nesota mine, under date of Sept. 11th,
says : “Yesterday we had a hail storm
here that for violence has never been
equaled. The hail fell thick and heavy
for about twenty minutes, some of the
stones being seven inches in circumference ,
and weighing four ounces The storm
then abated for a time, and those who had
the lights of glass in the windows of
their houses broken, proceeded to replace
them by others: but their haste availed
them nothing, fora second storm came on
fiercer than the first. It lasted half an
hour, and the glass that was not demol
ished by the first storm had to suffer.
One piece of ice was found that weighed
a half pound. The effects of the storms
were only lelt within a small space, as in
places one mile distant from this no bail
fell. At this mine and in the immediate
I should think three thousand
panes of glas have been broken.— Detroit

American Stock Abroad.
The New York Herald says, there is an
active movement of American Stocks
from London to this market for re-sale.
The sad result attending the management

himself an American, has sent all his in
terest home for realization, and one lead
ing and eminent commission bouse in

body’s account both New York Central

Within the last week much has been sold
and more has been offered. Even United
States Government securities have been

notice in our general inaiket tor the week past.
Trade geurraijj- has btt-u quite aUiv , lather
mote so than is U’ mil at this Sea-cii ei the year.
The t all and W inter stocks of ear dry goods mer
chants continue to pour iu upon tbriu, with seine
light additions to the stoc ks of our grocery deal
ers. Heavy groceries have cot begun to. come on
yet, iu constquence of the uncertainty of our
river. This disadvantage under which our city
has been laboring for so many years past, is pa;-
tally overcome in the construction cf steamers
which can run on almost any stage of water.
When a lice of steamers shall have became ts
tablished between this City and Apalachicola. to
run dining the cumiuer and Fall, our grocery
dealers will trade < fteuer with N< \\ Orleans ami
the Hist.
Cotton continues to cornu in freely, b.'th In
wvgoii and rail road. Cur receipts, though be.
hind these for the same time last year, are ahead
of uny year since 185-1, statements of which wo
give in another place. Fioni all accounts the
growing crop is in u good and matuliug condition,
and will return a yield quite up to last year. Wo
do not venture any figurer, but shall not be die
appointed if the present does not reach the last.
So far the staple is very fine, and commands ;lie
fullest market rates, showing that the dry time
through WhiClrit past, if it canttd a lots in quan
tity made up fully in quality.
The demand during the week has been very
good, and the sales have reached 1,660 hales at the

and 23 old crop aud a poor article at be. From
the beginning of the week prices advanced steadi
ly up to Friday noon, when shippers felt that a
higher rate had teen attained titan they could pay,
and demanded a concession of fqc., which was
granted and prices went back to Monday’s quota
tions, 103.2 t 0 iO/L at which tho market closed
on Satuiday evening with a very good feeling.
We cannot close this article without a word to
planters who desire to send their cotton to our
city. The dhastrouu file which consumed two of
our largo warehouses last spring, may have led
tome to believe that we did net have storage ca
pacity for their cotton this year. This is a mis’
take. There are now in course of construction
three largo and commodious buildiEgs, capable cf
housing safely 30,0C0 bales of cotton, and they
will be completed long before tho three old ones
are"full. No planter need have any fears of his
cotton taking the weather. Send in your cotton
gentlemen, we can house it for you and sell it at
excellent prices.
