Yesterday the river bad risen at this
point about four feet and rising.
The Itiver Bride leaves this morning
for Chattahoochee.
The prospect for uninterrupted naviga
tion for sometime to come is very good.
The Citizens’ Meeting.
From the proceedings of the meeting
to be faund elsewhere, we perceive that
all three of the individuals mentioned
have been ordered to leave the city, and
provision made to soe that it was com
plied with. Although the evidence did
not justify, in the opinion of the meeting,
anything like violence, yet it was suffi
cient to cause them to be regarded as
very snspicious characters, and their ab
sence preferable to their presence here.
Theater,
Messrs. Crisp & Canning present an
attractive bill for this evening. Miss Lo
gan’s second appearance will be in the
character of Pauline, in Bulwer’s play,
the “Lady of Lyous.” The perform
ance will conclude with the laughable
farce of “Dead Shot,” in which Mr.
Sheldon, the favorite comedian, will ap
pear. We are pleased to observe the re
turn of several favorite members of the
old Company, who were here a few weeks
since.
Tlie Circus.
Yesterday North’s National Circus,
heralded by, Ihe music of the Calliope,
arrived in the city, and exhibited in the
afternoon and at night, to good audiences.
Good order was preserved, and the vari
ous performances gave very general sat
isfaction. The Company is one of the
best in the country.
An Improvement-
We are pleased to notice that the Coun
cil are planking what is commonly termed
“Bridge ltow.” Overseer Iluckeba, with
the street hands, is doing the work in au
expeditious and substantial manner. The
Board of Aldermen deserve the thanks of
every one, whose business calls them
through that street, for doing a work so
much needed.
Probable Homicide.
A difficulty occurred about 8 o’clock
Sunday morning, near the warehouse
of Dillard, l’owell & Cos., between William
Pike and Jefferson Upton, in which the
latter received a severe stab in the left
side, and is considered to be in a danger
ous condition. Pike fled to Alabama, and
had not been arrested up to 7 o’clock last
evening, though the police were in pur
suit of him.
Sew Patents.
Iu the published official list of Patents
for the 29th ult., we observe that one has
been awarded to Mr. George H. Peabody,
of Columbus, Ga , for improvement in
cotton-pickers’ wallets ; also one to John
M. Lanier, for improvement in apparatus
for taming horses.
Pine Cigars.
R. A. Ware & Son having received a
supply of extra fine cigars have furnished
us with specimens of four different brands.
We find it difficult to decide which we
prefer, but are satisfied that any body in
search of a good cigar can find one at
Ware & Son’s.

Change in the Weather.
After a long dry spell, accompanied by
weather disagreeably and unprecedentedly
warm for the season, we have been favored
with a refreshing rain, which commenced
falling Saturday night. We hope the
change will give an impetus to business
generally.
New Baptist Church.
We are glad to notice that the walls of
this handsome building are receiving the
frame for the roof. We trust that the
energetic contractors, Messrs Barringer
and Morton, may be able to complete the
entire building within the time specified,
notwithstanding the many difficulties they
have been compelled to meet on the way.

This beautiful Company, Capt. Shep

DAILY SUN OFFICE. 1
Columbus, Ga., December 6,1859. J
I COTTON—The receipts yesterday amounted
j to 508 bales, and sales 388 bales, at unchanged
[ prices. The demand was somewhat better du
j ring the day, with but few offerings.
! REVIEW OF THE MARKET FOR THE WEEK ENDING DEC. 3.
Our last report of the market, closing on the
26th ult., left the trade much depressed, with
very little doing, and an “irrepressible conflict”
going on between buyer and seller as to who
should yield to the views of each other. Mon
day, the first day under review, was remarka
bly inclement, and arrested What might other
wise have been a good day’s business: Tuesday,
at an early hour, it was evident that the neces
sity of some holders forbade the possibility of
longer contending for rates impossible to ob
tain, a concession of %c. on previous ask
ing prices brought forward a fair attendance of
buyers, and about 800 bales changed hands on
a basis of 9% to 10%c. for Middlings to Good
Middlings; Wednesday, the transaction? of the
previous day gave precedent for a very general
yielding on the part of holders, with a moder
ate, but, by no means, general demand—soo
bales changed hands, fully establishing the de
cline of the previous day; Thursday, buyers
demanded still lower prices, and in some cases
obtained Good Middling at 10%c. —300 bales
sold; Friday, very little was done, say 200 bales,
at irregular prices; on Saturday, the-market
still tending downward, buyers manifested
great indifference; about 500'bales sold on a
oasis of the following figures :
QUOTATIONS.
Low Middling nominal.
Middling 9% to 9 %
Strict Middling 10 to 10%
Good Middling _.10% to 10*4
Middling Fair to Fair, nominal and scarce.
The principal sales of the week have been
for account of local speculators, as a general
rule planters are refusing to sell below 10c.;
they can find no satisfactory employment for
their money, and the experience of the past
few years, has taught them, that prices imme
diately after the beginning of the new year, and
still later in the spring, have been higher than
the two last months in the year. Notwithstand
ing this reluctance to sell, they are deliv
ering their crops freely, influenced, no doubt,
in many instances, by the apprehension of dan
ger from tire on the plantations; of which
there has been so many instances the present
season.
Receipts for the week are large, being
6,755 bales, an excess of 520 bales over the cor
responding week of last year, and reducing the
total excess of last year to 887 bales. We are
informed that the accumulation of cotton, at
the Stations on the Mobile and Girard Rail
Road, awaiting shipment to this place, is very
great; the motive power of that Road having
been seriously diminished some time since,
from accident, by which two of their engines
were disabled for the time.
Shipments for the week have been 2,909 bales,
of which 391 bales have gone to Montgomery,
and 573 bales to Apalachicola. The Musco
gee Rail Road continues to take off promptly,
all the cotton offered. Shipments are very much
retarded by the difficulty of delivering at one
or two of the principal warehouses; in some
instances, invoices have been delayed three
and four weeks; this is a very serious draw
back to the present execution of orders—we
are promised with increased effort to have no
farther complaint after the present week.
Stock on Hand is 30,946 bales, and beyond the
capacity of our warehouses, unless more equally
distributed. It begins seriously to accumu
late in the streets and unsheltered lots; of the
stock, it is supposed about ]/ 2 to % is on plan
ters account.

| To the Physicians of the Southern States:
Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Brandy.
Wolfe’s Genuine Port Wine.
Wolfe’s Genuine Madeira Wine.
Wolfe’s Genuine Sherry Wine.
I am now supplying the trade with pmcCognac
Brandy. in bottles. l'ith for midioal aud private
use. The immense- success that has crowned utjr
efforts toplace a pure Gin within the reach of all,
under the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps,
and to jlrive out of the market the pernicious com
pounds sold as Gin throughout country, led
many leading druggists, apothecaries and medical
I men, tor some years past, to solicit me to pursue
the same course in regard to the article of Brandy.
I should hare complied with these requests from
all quarters long ago, but was deterred from it by
the fact, that owing to tlie exhorbitant prices of
Brandy in France, consequent upon the shortness
of the grape cfop for some years, there wag no
chance of my being aids to inport the choicest
Brandy, bottle it and sell it at moderate prices.
Fortunately for me, tliegrnpecrop for the last and
previous year (anil the prospect for this) was
abundant, and prices of Brandy have fulleii to
the standard of ten years ngu. The duty on Brandy
is also seventy per cent lower, aud I have now
made arrangements with four Brandy exporters
in France, of the highest repute, and am regularly
receiving consignments of the best Cognac Brandy,
which I am bottling and selling as Wolfe’s Genu
ine Cognac Brandy. I guarantee, with my seal,
labels and certificates, the Brandy so bottled by
me, as the pure, unadulterated article, and it will
be found, when used as a medicine, a beverage, or
a cordial, healthful and invigorating. It has been
a matter of universal complaint, that a bottle of
pure, unmixed French Brandy, was very difficult
to obtain, and the purchaser, nine times in ten,
was deceived with a vile manufactured imitation.
Os all descriptions of ardent spirits, Brandy, from
its high price, has been the one article that mixers
and sellers have turned their attention to, and
millions of gallons of the so-called French Brandy
have been scattered annually through the laud,
and have been the primary cause of murders, sui
cides, cruelties and crimes, and have sent thou
sands to an early grave, self-destroyers, from de.
liriutn tremens, mauia-a-potu and horrors, names
unknown, until unprincipled men began to make
maddening compounds and sell it as the pure
French Brandy.
The virtures of pure French Brandy need not
be told by me. They are known throughout the
world as a medicine or mild stimulant. It is, as
the French nation poetically call it “Eau de la
vie,” the water of life. But this applies to it only
when pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with
the fearful ingredients that make agood imitation,
it death drink to innocent tens of thou
sands of our race. To remedy a fearful evil, I
have commenced importing Brandy, bottling it,
and selling it as “Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Bran
dy.” lam daily receiving orders from the drug
gists and apothecaries in all parts of the Union, to
sell it lor medical purposes.

AMERICAN WATCHES,
MADE BY THE
American Watch Company,
at waltham, mass.
Attention le invited to tlu- following statement
aud the a- ruuipun, mg letters ot teeotii me Dilation
and testimonial* of these celel-iated Watches.
A gold medal was awarded the Cempaoy by the
Massachusetts Mechanical Association, 1856.
A gold medal was also awarded them by the
American Institute at New York, in 1857.
The Company also received the first premium—
a gold me til—from the Franklin Institute. Phila
delphia, in 1858.
These watches have now been in the market for
nearly ton yearp. during which time they have
been tested as to accuracy, durability and relia
bility, in every conceivable manner, and have
proved themselves to be the most satisfactory
time-pieces ever offered to the public.
This result bus been loought about by a strict
applicatiou of mechanical science to the construc
tion of the Watch from its very iueeptiou, render
ing it, when finished, mathematically correct in all
its proportions , and. necessarily, as perfect a time
ki epei as it is possible to make.
The Company have tested their Watches, in
many instances, by actual duily noting, and the
result of this test has been that they have exhibited a
rate equal in reyularity to the best Marine Chronom
eter. The following certificates are from gentle
mon who have curried their Watches with them in
their daily avocations, and are, therefore, reliable
indications of wliat may be expected from the
American Watch when in ordinary active use:
Letter from Paul Morphy, the celebrated Chess
Player.
New York, October 15tli, 1859.
Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir: —The American watch, No. 9210,pre
sented me by the New York Chess Club, has
proved to be a most reliable and accui ate time
keeper—almost unnecessarily so for ordinary pur
poses. It is now nearly five months since it came
into my possession, and during that period its
variation from standard time has been but a trifle
more than halt a minute. The following is a
record of its performance. It was set Juno 3d,
correctly:
June 15, fast 4 sec. Aug 15, fast 18 sec._
July I, •* 6 *• Sept. 1, “ 23 “
“ 15, “10 “ *• 10, “ 28 “
Aug. 1, “ 16 “ Oct. 1, “ 32 “
I give you permission to make such uso of this
statement as you may think proper. I am, with
respect, yours truly. PAUL MORPHY.
Boston, Sept. 27th, 1859.
Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—lt gives me great pleasure to com
ply with your request for a report of the perform
ance of the Americau watch which I purchased
of you Dec. 2d, 1858. It waß set on that day, and
its variation from true time to the 19th of Febru
ary, 1859, when 1 let it run down, was ten seconds
fast. From that time to the present, it has run
with nearly perfect steadiness, having, during the
eight months, varied not more than two seconds
and this with uncommonly rough usage I can
commend your manufacture in the highest terms.
Yours truly, JAMES H. CLAPP.
Firm of Clapp, Fuller 4 Brown,
Bankers, Boston.
The following is from Mr. Porter, the well
known Marine Chronometer and Watchmaker:
Boston, Sept. 2Sth, 1859.
Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—I have sold during the last year a
considerable number of watches of the Waltham
manufacture, and am happy to say that all ol
them, without exception, have fulfilled m; guar
anty, and have given satisfaction to the purcha
sers. GEORGE E. PORTER.
Willton Bluff, S. C., Oct. 20,1859.
R. E. Robbins, Esq. :
Dear Sir:—The three watches of your manu
facture which I purchased to be used on my plan
tation, have proved to bo the most correct time
keepers I have ever known. I gave my head
servant, my head carpenter, and my head engi
neer, each, one of them; and since they have
been in their respective possession, everything
on the plantation has moved like clock-work, in
consequence of the extreme accuracy and regu
larity with which these watches perform.
Truly yours, LEWIS MORRIS.
Boston, Aug. 20th, 1869.
R. E Robbins, Trcas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—Tho “ Waltham,” which I purchased
some six months since, has given entire satisfac
tion. Its time has been fully equal to that of a
“ Frodsham,” which I owned more than a year.
Truly yours, ALBERT METCALF,
65 Franklin st.
Book Boom, 200 Mulberry street,
New York, Oct. sth, 1869.
R. E. Robbins, Tress. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Fir: —I take great pleasure in being able
to certify that for the last six months I have car
ried a watch from the manufactory of the Ameri
can Watch Company, and that it has given per
fect satisfaction as a time-keeper. Judging from
tho one I have, I do not hesitate to predict that
the day is not far distant when watches made in
the United States will supercede all others.
JAMES FLOY, D. D.
Boston, Aug. 9th, 1859.
R. E. Robbins, Trcas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir:—l take pleasure in stating that the
American watch I have of your manufacture,
performs to my entire satisfaction, running regu
larly at the rate of thirty seconds fast per month.
Capt. GORHAM 11. BASSETT.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir , —The watch I bought of you—one of
your adjustod Chro. Bal. movements —runs to my
entire satisfaction. For the past three months it
has not varied more than one minute, and is now
running at that rate. It has seen the hardest
service in every way in point of locomotion.
Yours truly, C. C. SHEAFE.
New Haven, Conn., Sept. 27th.
R. K.Robbins, Esq.:
Dear Sir :—Yours of the 23d was duly received.
In reply I would say, that the American watch
No. 6939, has proved itself one of the best watches
for r “ilway purposes.
The American watch, in my opinion, is far bet
ter than any watch I have used for the last four
teen years on railroads. I remain, respectfully
yours, G. A. FULLER,
Conductor New Haven, Hartford and
Springfield R. R.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos :
Dear Sir:—Tho American watch that I pur
chased of you about a year since, runs with great
exactness ; its variations being so slight that I
have not found it necessary to set it for several
months. Yours truly, WM. B. SPEAR.
CAUTION.—As our Watch is now extensively
counterfeited by foreign manufacturers, we have
to inform the public that no Watch is of our pro
duction which is unaccompanied by a certificate of
genuineness, bearing the number of the Watch,
and signed by our Treasurer, R. E. ROBB!NS, or
by our predecessors, APPLETON, TRACY A CO.
‘! 49*As these Watches are for sale by Jowelers
generally throughout the Union, we do not so
licit orders for single Watches. For the American

in confidence and truth of it, what we
have never been able to say of any other
medicine— NEVEß HAS IT FAIL
ED, IN A SIN- 0(3 GLE instance, to
Effect a CURE, when timely used.—
Never did we know an instance of dissatis
faction by any one who used it. On the
contrary, all are do- l/l lighted with its opera
tions, and speak in terms of highest com
mendation of its mugi- cal effects and medical
virtues. We speak in this matter “ what
we do know,” af- rK ter ten years’ experi
ence, and pledge our reputation for
the fulfilment of what we here de
clare. In almostev- ery instance where
the infant is suffering from pain and exhaus
tion, relief will be yj found in fifteen or
twenty minutes after Qj the Syrup is adminis
tered. _
This valuable prepa- ration is the prescrip
ion of one of the most __ experienced and
skillful Nurses in New-England,and has
>een used with never failing success
“THOUSANDS ri OF CASES.
It not only relieves the child from pain,
but invigorates the stomach aud bowels,
corrects acidity, and gives tone and energy
to the whole system. jjQ It will almost instant
ly relieve
Griping in the }> Bowels, and
WIND P* COLIC,
and overcome convnl- sions, which if not
speedily remedied end in death. We believe
it the best and sur- J est remedy in the
world, in all cases of Dysentery and
Diarrhces inChil-dren, whether it
arises from teething, or from any other
cause. We would say X, to every mother who
has a child suffering from any of the fore
goingcomplaints—do “ not let your pre
judices, nor the prejudices of oth
ers, stand between your suffering child
and the relief that will be SURE— yes, ab
solutely SURE— to follow the nte of
this medicine, if time- .ly used. Full direc
