Tho last Bainbridge Argus contains the valedictory of Wm. 11. T. Hall, Esq., who retires to devote himself exclusively to his profession. The same issue contains the salutatory of Hugh M. King, Esq., who makes a very handsome bow to the public. The political principles he will advocate will be those of the State Rights Democratic school. We hope the new editor’s career will be productive of fame and fortune. Hogg. The Athens (Tenn.) Tost, of Friday, says slaughtering fires are burning in every direction around town. The people have fed their hogs until their cribs are well nigh exhausted, and now that they have a “cool snap” swine must suffer.

Convention of Israelites. A convention of Israelites from all parts of the Union was held on Sunday, the 20th ult., in New York, to consider the formation of a national board of rep resentatives or consistory, similar to those in Europe. The consideration of an address, stating the basis and objects of the proposed union, was referred to a committee, and after an animated discus sion, the convention adjourned till next evening. Municipal Election. Below we give in full the result of the Municipal election last Saturday. It is due to several gentlemen whoso names appear among the list of candidates, to say that they were not consulted with re gard to entering the canvass, and took no part whatever in the contest. Col. John Quin, the veteran of the Fifth Ward, met a strong opponent in Mr. Van Marcus, and came near losing the day. It was not his desire to run for the office, as he had served long enough, and preferred the mantle should fall on younger shoul ders. For the ensuing municipal year the city has made choice of an excellent Board of Aldermen—the result could not have beeu otherwise, with so much and good material from which to make a se lection. The difficulty was iu making a choice. As to the Mayoralty, there were Col. Tenille, and William Perry aud W. S. Halstead, Esqs., all three competent and excellent gentlemen, any one of whom would have made an successor to our worthy and popular friend, ex-Mayor Wilkins, who, in his retirement, justly merits the plaudit, *‘well done,” &c. The Mayor elect is a worthy gentlemen, is conversant with the affairs of the city for years past, and will without doubt fill the office with credit to himself and useful ness to the city. FOP.

The Paris correspondent of the London Times furnishes the following extracts from a private letter from San Sebastian, describing the warlike enthusiasm aroused in Spain by the proclamation of war against the Moors: Nobody here thinks of anything what ever but war. You cannot think how ex cited the public mind is. Do you know wc are going to have conscriptions one of these days. The three Basque Provinces (Guipuzcoa, Alava, and Biscay) have of fered, on their own account, lo the gov ernment 4,000,000 reals (£40,000,) to be paid at once, and 3,000 men, armed, equipped, &c. : as, probably, there will not be volunteers enough, there will be forced enrollments from the age of eigh teen to sixty among the Basques. This legion will place itse'f under the com mand of a general, if possible a Basque also. The case is urgent; after various conferences an extraordinary meeting is forthwith to be held of the general Jun tas, in order to settle these four impor tant points—the mode of raising the levy; how the legion will be transported to the theatre of the war; what uniform they will wear; and to decree the adoption of the red boinu (flat cap,) that they may be distinguished from the Moors. The death of poor Barcaiztigny, of cholera, at Al gesiras, has, in some few instances, cooled a little the warlike ardor. The ladies are employed in making bandages, lint, &c. ; those of Vittoria set them the example. The ladies of Murcia have volunteered their services for the hospitals. Others have opened subscrip tions for pawn offices. Throughout the whole of Spain there is an enthusiasm difficult to describe. Barcelona offers a battalion on its own account, a brigade of mules, and everything necessary for a hospital. Private subscriptions are pro posed ; the employees give up their pay to the Government as long as the war lasts. It is said that the Duke of Ossuna is to raise a battalion at his own expense. In fact, I should never finish if I were to describe the aidor manifested to contrib ute, directly or indirectly, to the war; and how every one does his best to insure success. Last week San Sebastian was turned into a military camp; 4,000 men, as you are probably aware, have already embarked for Cadiz. When propositions of peace were spoken of, the soldiers were furious, but were overjoyed at leaving for Cadiz, as they were then certain of war. They were followed by an immense crowd of people to the quays. But what will it be when the Cautabrian Legion leaves? It will be for many at home a day of des olation. Protest. Fifty-two Democratic members of the Legislature publish a card in the Federal Union of Saturday, protesting against the action of th£ Democratic meeting at Mil ledgeville, and denying its authority to appoint delegates to the Charleston Con vention. Among the names annexed to the card we observe those of our immedi ate representatives, Messrs. Dixon and Williams. Georgia Legislature. Pursuant to adjournment the Senate met on the Bth. Amoug other proceed ings Mr. King, of Glynn, said he had been solicited by some of the cotton manufacturers of Europe, to bring their proposition before the State. They pro pose to employ a large amount of capi tal in developing the agricultural and mineral resources of the South. He would offer a resolution that the State appoint a commissioner on her part, to act with the two appointed by the Cotton Planter’s Convention to sail to Europe, and see what arrangements could be made to carry out that desigD. The x-esolution was on motion of Mr. King, referred to the committee on agriculture. Among the bills on their passage were: A bill to declare the meaning of an Act exempting from levy and sale, cer tain articles mentioned in the Act of 1857. Passed. A bill to alter and amend the laws now existing in reference to the Supreme Court. Passed. A bill to authorize a testator or testa trix to make an inventory of his or her estate, to supersede an appraisement and inventory now required by law. Passed. The House adopted the section allow ing $3,000 per annum to Messrs. Erwin, Cobb and Clark, while preparing the Code, aud $1,300 per annum to Col. De- Graffenreid, their Secretary, not to ex ceed two years. The House adopted the section allow ing $7 per day to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and $6 per day to the members, with $4 for ev<.ry twenty miles of travel in coming to and returning from the seat of Government. By a vote of 86 to 55, the House adopted the amendment offered by Mr. Ilartridge, appropriating $75,000 to be applied by the Governor for the purchase of arms for the equipment of teers, &c. “A Well Man.” . lion Charles Sumner, in the course of a little speech made on Tuesday evening, at one of the “Fraternity Lectures,” Bos ton, announced that he was “a well man.” Merchants’ Shipping Beceipts.

In the Senatorial branch of the Missis sippi Legislature, the following resolu tions were introduced by Mr. McNeil, from the Joiut Committee on State aud Federal Relations: 1. Resolved , by the Legislature of the Slate of Mississippi, Thai unJer the Constitution of the United States, the Government created by it cannot, nor can any tribunal acting under its authority, whether it be legislative, executive, or judicial, within its appropriate sphere, justly withhold from the owners of slaves that adequate protection for their slave property to which owners of property of other kinds are entitled, or which, from its nature, they may further require to secure thc-m in its possession and enjoyment. 2. That the election of a President of the United States by the votes of one sec tion of the Union only, on the ground that there exists an irreconcilable conflict between the two sections, in reference to their respective systems of labor, and with an avowed purpose of hostility to the institution of slavery as it exists in the Southern States, and as recognized by the compact of union, would so threaten the destruction of the ends for which the Constitution was formed, as to justify the slaveholding States iu taking counsel for their separate protection and safety. 3. That upon the happening if such contingency. the Governor of this State be requested to convene the Legislature in extraordinary session, in case other slaveholding States shall have indicated a willingness to confer with Mississippi in regard to the measures to be adopted for the maintenance of their rights, Qr in case he should deem it necessary to pro vide for the public safety. 4. That the Governor of this State be requested to transinii a copy of these resolutions to the Governors of each of the slaveholdiug States of the Union to be laid before their respective Legisla tures, and invite their co-operation. Chattanooga Markets, &c The Chattanooga Advertiser, of the Bth, says heavy rains have fallen, and streams are rolling at high water mark— river on good tide, with prospects of booming river trade. As yet we can re port no transaction of any importance. Demands for the South are springing up, and we hear of no little inquiry for grains aud produce. All articles of a marketable character have received an upward tendency since our last report— demand ahead of supply. Wheat, a good article of red, would readily command $1 15—small lots have been taken at that figure. Our best intelligence is that there is but little wheat in the country. Flour, stocks light but quoted superfine extra $3 25 per sack by quantity on an upward slide. Corn, few arrivals—a good article would command GO cents promptly—farmers may be sure of this figure unless prices in foreign markets decline rapidly. Hogs, held too high for buyers here—several lots have passed on South—Chandler & McCamy have killed about 1000 for private parties. Irish potatoes worth 40 cents. Apples §1 25 to §1 50. The Milletlgeville Convention, The Democratic Convention met at Mil ledgeville Thursday. Mr. Seward, of Thomas, recommended the Hon. Howell Cobb as the only man who could defeat Douglas. The committee appointed to report business for the meeting, reported a resolution presenting Mr. Cobb’s ciaims for the Presidency to the Charleston Con vention, which was adopted. A special dispatch to the Savannah Republican of Saturday, gives the following list of dele gates to the Presidential Convention : State at Large.—lsaiah T.

Seale, the Presi dent, who visited that city for the purpose of purchasing negroes for the Montgom ery and Union Springs Rail Road, that thej 7 have effected a purchase of forty eight likely uegroes, all of whom, except ing eight or ten infants, are excellent working hands. It will be remembered that Capt. Seale had previously purchased and sent home forty, which number ar rived in Montgomery about the 4th or sth inst, making in all eighty-eight that have been purchased for the Company by Capt. Seale. Wills Valley Rail Boad. The Chattanooga Advertiser of the Bth inst. says: “Some twenty miles of this Road is now graded, commencing at the off shoot from Nashville Road, and run ning down the Valley, aDd ready for iron. Contracts for getting out cross-ties are being let preparatory to track laying the coming season. The company is entering into arrangements for the purchase of iron. The prospects of State aid from both Georgia and Alabama are very flat tering, which, if realized, will put this Road upon as solid a footing as any Road in the Southern country.” Grand Chapter of Alabama.

This body met%t Tallahassee on the 30th ultimo, but adjourned, for want of a quorum, to the Ist inst. The correspond ent of the Pensacola Observer writes : I am told that probably the most ex citing subject before us will be the settle ment of a dispute between the Jackson ville and the Pensacola and Georgia com panies, as to their respective quota of laDd. The Governor’s Message, I understand, will show forth the near approach of re pudiation, unless the bond holders will consent to surrender them for land, and in that case the dear public will find that they have been egregiously humbugged out of the magnificent donation made to them by Congress, while they are left to pay taxes for the support of Government, Reported Discovery of Arms. Some lit tie .stir has been created in this county by the report that a number of Sharp’s rifles bad been found secreted in the woods. Taken in connection with the anonymous letter received by Gov. Pettus from this county, informing him that a negro insurrection was contemplated about Christmas, this report has caused some little uneasiness. We deem it best to notice this matter at once, in order to allay any undue excitement. The report is founded on anonymous letters, which should be received with great caution. As to the finding of arms, we do Dot be lieve a word of it, and will not believe it until we see some of the guns, or at least see someone who has seen them.— Viclcs burg Whig.

The sales of cotton in Liverpool for the week readied 38,600 bales, of which speculators took 1.200 aud exporters 5,500 bales. There was little iuquiry, and prices were feeble and irregular. The sales on Friday reached 6,000 bales, of which speculators and exporters took 1,000 bales, and the market closed quiet. The following are the authorised quota tions : Fair Orleans 7%<1. Mid.

Manchester advices were favorable, but the demapd was quiet. Holders, howev er, were firm, at full prices. At Havre. Orleans Tres Ordinaire was quoted at 113f., and Bas at 108f. The market advanced from 2 to 6 francs at the opening, owing to the scarcity of de siradle qualities, but closed nominal, un der the influence of arrivals. The sales of the week were 4,000, and the stock on hand 33,000 baies. At London, consols closed at 9GJ to 96£ for money, and 96J to 96| for account. The bullion in the Bank of England has increased £125,000. The money market was easy and unchanged. James Hewitt & Co.’s Circular, dated Liverpool, Friday evening, Nov. 25th, says: • The market has been dull during the entire week, the sales being smaller thau for some time past. Under the influence of a very moderate demand, coupled with considerable disposition on the part of holders to realize, prices have exhibited a steadily yielding tendency, the market closing flat, at a slight reduction upon last week’s quotations for Orleans and Mobile, while Uplands, being rather pi-essed for sale, have declined about £ per lb.

To-day 6,000 bales were sold— the market closing dull. At Manchester undiminished prosperity continues to mark the progress of busi ness in Manufactured Goods. Prices have agaiu slightly advanced, but trans actions are rather limited inconsequence of the scarcity of Cloths and Yarns on the spot, as well as by the impossibility of getting orders executed in any rea sonable time. Late telegrams bring fa vorable advices from East India and Chi na, representing Stocks of Goods as be ing much reduced, and operators eager buyers of shipments to arrive. Congressional. Washington, Dee. 7. —There was an exciting debate in both Houses to-day. A second ballot for Speaker resulted in no choice. No ultra Black Republican can be elected. Sherman lacks nine votes to elect, although four Democrats are ab SQUt Washington, Dec. B.—lu the Senate to-day, Mr; Slidell gave notice of a bill making an appropriation to facilitate ne gotiations for the acquisition of Cuba. A spirited debate was continued on Mr. Mason’s resolution. The Senate has adjourned until Monday. In the House, the discussion was con tinued on Mr. Clark’s resolution. There was no vote taken for Speaker. Washington, Dec. 9. —The Senate was not in session. In the House, party politics was fully and acrimoniously discussed. John A. Logan and Isaac N. Morris, of Illinois, anti-Lecomptou Democrats, showed the falsity of the charge that the Hon. S. A. Douglas had colluded with Horace Gree ly to effect Douglas’ re-election to the United Stales Senate. Mr. Logan said that Wm. Kellogg, of Illinois, Republican, who inade the charge, had sneaked away like a spaniel, when called on to produce his proof. Mr. Kellogg advanced towards Mr. Lo gan, in a bellicose attitude. Mr. Logan squared himself for a fight. The intervention of members prevented an altercation ; but for a few minutes the greatest possible excitement prevailed.—* After order was restored, the call for a ballot for Speaker was made with the fol lowing result: John Sherman, Ohio. Rep., 110 Thos. S. Bococ'k, Va., Dem., .... 88 John A. Gilmer, N. C., Amer.,.. 20 Scattering 13 It requires one hundred and sixteen to secure an election, and as neither receiv ed that number the House adjourned. Washington, Dec. 10—The Senate was not in session to-day. In the House, Mr. Hickman, of Penn., endeavored to have a resolution adopted to elect Speaker, and other officers, by the plurality rule. The effort was char acterised as a plan to enable certain gen tlemen to elect a Republican Speaker by indirect means. A warm debate ensued. Mr. Curry, of Ala., made a speech in defence of the South, and said if W. H. Seward is elected President, in 18G0, on a purely sectional platform, the time will have come for a political disrupture of the Union. Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, during the debate said he was a sectional man, and owed his first allegiance to South Carolina. When a sectional party was in existence at the North, who could blame the South for assuming a sectional attitude ? Like begets like, and they must meet force by force, if necessary. There was no vote taken, and the House adjourned until Monday. Texas and Mexican Xewi. New Orleans, Dec. 10—The steamship Arizona arrived yesterday from Brazos, Santiago and Indianola. She brings two hundred and twelve thousand dollars In specie. Dates from Brownsville to the 4th inst. are received. The place was quiet, but no reinforcements had reached there. Cor tinas has five hundred men under his command, and ba3 bad several skirmish es, but nothing of importance has trans pired. Gen. Miramon was retreating towards the Capital of Mexico, and Geu. Doblado was following him. A battle had taken place between Gen. Zuazua and the re-actionists, and the soldiers of the battle had deserted. Zuazua hod marched to Monterey, and compromised with the citizens and would probably resume power there. South Carolina Legislature. Columbia, Dec. 7. —In the Senate, Mr. Rhett, of St. Helena* introduced a reso lution, declaring that this General As* sembly deem it inexpedient for the peo ple of South Carolina to enter into any caucus or convention with the people o the Northern States for the nomination of candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of these United Stales. From Leavenwortli. Leavenworth, Dec. 3.—Hon. Abrnnatn Lincoln, of Illinois, arrived to day, ana is now addressing one of the largest P-'“D cal assemblies that has ever met in Kan sas.

New York, December. 3.—Andrew S. McCarty, a member of the City Council, was indicted for the murders ;inc months ago, of Patrick Cosgrove alias Cockroach. From Washington. Washington, Dec., 6 —The excite ment iu the House this afternoon on the debate of Mr. Clarke’s resolution, with regard to the endorsers in Congress of Helper’** inf mous book, soon subsided, but has left a deep-seated feeling, and general apprehension that powder is ly ing all around, aud a spark would ignite a terrible conflagration. Had a blow’ been struck to day the consequences would have been fearful. All were pre pared, and there was a perceptible effort with gentlemen to restrain themselves.— No arms were drawn as is falsely rumor ed ; feeling was first engendered by Mr. Crawford, of Georgia, addressing Thad deus Stevens in an excited mauner, in re ply to language offensive to the South.— Members rushed around the speakers, and there was, for a short time, great dis order. Order was, however, restored, and after a sharp and short debate a mo tion to adjourn was carried by acclama tion. There is no great excitement in the city to night. The matter is generally discussed with a quiet and serious tem per Special'dippatch to the Charleston Mercury. Columbia, Dec. 9.— ln the Senate, in Committee of the Whole, Mr. Hampton, of Richland, spoke happily and well in reply to the resolutions from the Commit tee, that the re opening of the African slave trade is impracticable, inexpedient and mischievous. As an issue, he argued it was unconstitutional —an issue in which the South is divided, and absurd in the face of Northern sentiment and power; not an issue of disunion, but one to par alyze the South. lie had not believed the Union would be dissolved, but lie re gretted, now, to believe there was good reason for it, which nothing but a radical change in the political, moral and religi ous tone of the North could or should prevent. He thought the slave trade would be injurious, and was immoral; but, for unanimity, he would be satisfied with the resolutions of the Committee. Mr. Bryan, of St. John’s Colleton, re plied. Opinion had changed as to the constitutionality of the question. He believed prohibition unconstitutional. He was not for dividing the Souta, but believed it intolerant in the Senate to ex press opinion against agitating this issue. The Duke of Cambridge, commander iu chief of the British army, has just is sued an order which is virtually an abo lition of the punishment of flogging here tofore much practised in the service. The soldiers on entering the service are to be classified in two classes, in the first of which they will not be liable to cor poral punishment except for aggravated mutinous conduct in time of war. They will continue in the first class, unless they commit certain crimes, for which they will be degraded to the second class, in which they inay be subjected to cor poral punishment. Uninterrupted good conduct for a year will transfer a soldier for the second time to the first class. The plan is ingenious and seems likely to accomplish its purpose and put an cud to flogging, except for aggravated offen ces committed by the incorrigible. ♦ Federal Affairs in the South Caro lina Legislature. A special dispatch, to the Charleston Courier, says: The Committee on Federal relations, to whom was referred that portion of Gov. Gist’s message referring to those matters, offered two reports—a majority and minority report. The majority stand onr the ordinance of 1852, seeking co operation. They make common cause with Virginia, and recommend the ap propriation of a contingent fund in the hands of the Executive. The minority assert that South Caro lina will aid Southern States in or out of the Union, and recommend that the mili tary fund be increased. Cannon Foundry in tire South. A paragraph is going the rounds of the Southern papers, stating that there is no foundry for cannon in the South. In this very city there is the best canoon found ry in America, at which the Cnited States has the largest and best cannon cast for its navy—among them the famous Dal grhen guns. An officer of the U. S. Na vy is placed at this station, to test the cannon made at Anderson’s foundry, and such is the excellence of the Virginia iron, and such the admirable character of the construction, that the powder has yet to be manufactured that will burst them. They have been subjected to the severest tests ever known in the trial of cannon, and not one of them has ever burst.— Rich. Dispatch. John Randolph of Roanoke, was in a tavern, lying on a sofa in the parlor, waiting for the stage to come to the door. A dandified chap stepped into the room with a whip in hand, just come from a drive, and standing before the mirror, arranged his hair and collar, quite un conscious of the presence of the gentle man on the sofa. After attitudinizing a while, he turned to go out, when Mr. Randolph asked him, “Has the stage come?” “Stage, sirl stage!” said the fop; “I’ve nothing to do with it, sir.” ‘Oh!

A few eveniDgs since, while at his post, he was accosted by an exci ted passenger, who in a rude and bois terous manner demanded repeatedly to know the whereabouts of his trunk. Pat, after several times replying to the inter rogatory, at length lost his patience, and thus put an end to the stranger’s trouble some questioning : “Och, mister, I wish in my soul you were an elephant instead of a jackass, for then you'd have your trunk always under your eyes. ♦ A requisition is to be made upon the Governor of this State, under the Fugi tive Slave Law, for the surrender of H R.

Cook’s Hotel. We paid this new establishment a visit yesterday morning, and was conducted through the different apartments by a gentleman concerned in its construction. Throughout, the arrangements are de j signed and made with especial reference J to the comfort of gue-sts. The parlors j arc very handsomely furnished, and so are the private rooms, which are tilt} - j eight in number. Connected with the Hotel is a room upon the ground floor de signed for a t ar room and billiard tables for the accommodation of ‘’knights of tiic cue.” One feature in the internal ar rangements deserves special mention. We allude to the apparatus for lighting the building with gas, and supplying the differ ent apartments with water, all of which were supplied and put up in superior and workmanlike style by D. L. Thompson & Cos., of this city. Each room is furnished with a marble slab and wash basin, aud by an ingenious but simple arrangement of the patent water pipes, the desired quantity of watev can be supplied at any moment. A further addition is being made to the building, by which it will be supplied with baths of any desired tem perature.

Ingraham, in an article en titled “ Habits of Literary Composers, published in the October Lotus, says of newspaper editors : “Editors are probably .the most self poised and remarkable literary men. They not only write without the privacy literary men so covet, but in the midst ol confusion, questions, the roar of drays, the annoyance of copy-boys, the pres sure of proofs awaiting them, and half the time feeling that they have nothing to write ! not an idea in their head; yet write th y must, or their paper goes forth without that editorial sign-manual, ‘A Leader.’ Who ever knew an editor to tie ‘private ?’ Everybody has a right to come to him and interrupt him. I often marvel at the fine writing I so often see in editorial columns, when I know under what unfavorable circumstances it lias been composed ; circumstances that would drive some sensitive men of gen.us to despair. “A daily editor is a wonder in the world of letters. Every day he must find a new subject, and write upon it in an attractive way, and handle it with judgmsnt, good sense and tact, if he wishes to influence by it. a single mind. I would rather write up six volumes a year than yrritc up a daily paper. The labor to mind and body would be far less, and then a man may get some repu tation by a book, but rarely by fugitive newspaper editorials.” Tlie Women About lo Speak. The Richmond Dispatch, of the 30th ult., says: f The ladies, it is said, are soon to hold a public meeting, to give their counte nance to the movement now being made for Southern independence. All of them are even more patriotic than the men, aDd if they once determine not to encour age Northern manufactures, the Yankee trade with the South will instantly cease. In the city of Richmond there are not less than one thousand ladies, who would, to morrow, if called upon, cast aside every vestige of Northern manufacture in their possession, array themselves in home made ginghams and woolsey, and fee! just as proud, and far more indepen dent, than they now do, in the fabrics made by the enemies of their State, and of the Union. Tiie Presiilent’s Slessagj. The President’s Message fills seven col umns of the Constitution. According to report, it practically repeats the recom mendation of last year concerning Mexi co, by investing the Executive with in creased power to use the army and navy at discretion ; and enlarges upon the Harper’s Ferry affair and the Union. The Message will not be sent from Washing ton until the President knows what the House does, provided the organization of that body is a speedy one, and no copies of the reports of the Secretaries are to given out, except as accompaniments with the President’s Message. Charleston Mer cury. - “Matinee.”— A friend desires to know how a matinee can occur at two o’clock in the afternoon. We will tell him. “Ma tinee,” strictly, is appropriate for the morning, that is, previous to meridian But it is a fashionable epithet, and fash ion and philosophy have never been alto gether upon favorable terms; and fash ion’s morning is not limited by philoso phy’s meridian, any more than soiree, which is generally accepted for either an evening or night entertainment, should be limited by the more nocturnally mean ing expression of nuil. “Matinee” is “good” in Paris, to which place, or rath er to whose fashionable people, it owes its origiD, until three or four in the after noon. —Petersburg Express. —— -* Fatal Accident to a Light House Keeper. Mr. Joseph Andrew, for many years keeper of the Light House at St. Augus tine bar, lost his life on the sth inst., while engaged in whitewashing the exte rior of the structure. The ropes by which the scaffold pn which he was standing was suspended, gave way ani precipitated him from near the top of the building to the ground, breaking his neck, arm and leg, and causing instant death. Mr. Andrew was between 50 and 60 years of age, and deservedly popular among the natives and residents of St. Agustine.— Sav. Rep., 12th Ex-President Pierce’s Friends in New Hamskire. The Concord Independent Democrat says our Hunker friends in this city held their caucuses Saturday night to select delegates to the Councillor Convention, to be held in Epping. We are sorry to add there was a bitter “scrimmage” be tween the friends of General Pierce and Senator Douglas. The friends of Gener al Pierce, however, triumphed, and chose their delegates. It is understood that Judge Minot, General Pierce’s former law partner, is to be one of the delegates to Charleston. + The Dutch, it ia said, always kill their fish the moment they are taken out of the water, and those treated in this man ner are said to remaiu more plump aud of better flavor than those which are al lowed to expire in agony.

J. R. SLAUGHTER, President of the Opelika & T. R. R. Prenticiana. Derby & Jackson, of Philadelphia, have in press a work entitled Preuti ciana, from which the following spicy items are extracts: A Mr. Archer has been sent to the Ohio Penitentiary for marrying three wives. “Insatiate Archer! could not one suffice ?” A Pittsburg paper says, in an obituary notice of an old lady, that “she bore her husband twenty children, and never gave him a cross word.” She must have obeyed.the good old peecept. —“ bear and forbear.” A Buffalo paper announces that Dr. Braudelh has introduced a bill into the Legislature. Is the editor sure that he minded hiss’s in his announcement? The common opinion is, that we should take good care of children at all seasons of the year, but it is well enough in win ter to let them slide. A writer in a Viginia paper devotes three columns to describing the great Blue j Ridge Tunnel. We hardly know which j is the greatest bore, the tunnel or the de- I seription of it. W. H Iloee, a postmaster, in Virginia, j publishes that two hundred dollars of the public funds are missing from his office, and he asks “ who has got the money?” Possibly echo may answer — lljop. The editor of an Indiana paper says, “'more villainy is on foot.” We suppose the editor has lost his horse. The New York Evening Post says a man “ cannot be active - and quiescent at the same time.” There may be some doubt of that. Some fellows bustle about terrib'y and yet lie still. We were considerably amused by an account that we lately saw of a remarka ble duel. There were six men upon the ground and six misses. The Ohio river is getting lower an'd lower every day. It has almost ceased to run. All who look at it can at once per ceive that it exhibits very little speed but a great deal of bottom. A New England writer says that it has been found the negroes ean~"be better trusted than white men, not to betray secrets. We suppose this is upon the principle that they always keep dark.

Fiint was knocked down, but his companion escaped by flight. When the scoundrels hit Flint, Sparks flew. Mr. William Hood was robbed near Corinth, Ala., on the 13th inst. The Co rinth paper says that the name of the highwayman is unknown, but there is no doubt that he was Bobbin’ Hood.

I would respectfully suggest to all young men, and old one too, (and to every body else who can read,) the propriety of commencing on the first day of January, 1800, and qf reading a chapter each day i in the book of Proverbs, found in our English Bible. There are many wise say ings to be found in that book ; and if the plan I suggest shall be adopted by any of my readers, they will derive much profit by it, especially if they will study well what they read, and practice according to the esc client rules there given.
