Kufait Ift, Alabama.
Eds. Sun :—l reached this delectable
place late Friday evening, found every
nook and corner crowded, stopped at the
Chewalla House, the principal hotel, was
told my room was full, and that comforta
ble quarters were out of the question.
Thankful for small favors, I was willing to
occupy a small room with three beds aud
two in a bed at that. Having made that
arrangement, and learning that Dr. Neely
was to make his speech in favor of the
noble enterprise undertaken by the Ala
bama Conference of raising one hundred
thousand dollars, to establish in our own
State a book depository, I wended my
way down through the dark lane to the
Methodist Church, but did not arrive in
time to hear bis exordium ; but he had
gotten so fully into the merits of his sub
ject, that the vast multitudo seemed
swayed and transported by the splendor
and power of his eloquence. It would
require a graphic pen to describe or give
you an idea of the sublime powers of the
orator, therefore I shall not attempt it,
but let you and your readers judge of its
merits from the grand result, say a con
tribution of seven thousand dollars. As
one of the agents, he has gotten within
a fraction, I hear, of fifty thousand dol
lars, and but for the ill health of Dr.
Hinton, no doubt the hundred thou
sand would have been raised by the
meeting of the present Conference. The
Doctor dwelt at some length upon the un
kind and intolerant course of our North
ern brethren, who had driven us from
them by their continued aggressions, aud
that the time had come when we were
forced to set up for ourselves, to manu
facture our own books and publish our
principles and doctrines from the vile con
taminations of Northern heresies, Aboli
tionism, Sewardism, &c., &c. The Doc
tor disclaimed being a politician 01 having
anything to do with government affairs,
avowed his undying love for the Union
as it once was, a Union of equality, but
with deep humility and regret, he said
the aggressions of the North had been
tamely submitted to by the South. Con
cessions and compromises had been made
degrading to her diguity and honor.—
Hence he confessed the Union was losing
its chances, and tho awful consequences
of the future filled his bosom with sad
and gloomy apprehensions. The Confer
ence i3 a large and unwieldy body ; a
divisionseems to be indicated. Thirty-two
deacons were ordained yesterday and
quite a number of elders. The Missiona
ry Treasurer reported, I think, $385,000
aside within the bounds of the Confer
ence for Missionary purposes, which
makeß me feel proud of my adopted State,
for Alabama is doing her part in all the
benevolent and good works of the day.
Her schools and colleges are growing up
everywhere, and flourishing like the green
bay tree. Eufaula is growing rapidly,
she has the right sort of people, and her
refinement and hospitality can’t be sur
passed anywhere in the Sunny South.

Non-Slaveholders.
The incendiary book of Helper, which
Greeley expects to abolitionize the North
and insurrectionizc the South, and which is
recommended by the Governor of New
York, Judges, merchants, and sixty
eight members of Congress, has the au
dacity to appeal to the non-slaveholding
whites of the South, to rally to the abo
lition flag. What impudenee and absur
dity ! It is unnecessary to argue the
matter with such a lunatic. One fact is
sufficient. If Helper, Greeley & Cos., will
look at the volunteer regiments now in
Charlestown, they will find, at the lowest
estimate, seventy five out of every hun
dred who do not own a slave. The great
mass who have rushed with the greatest
eagerness to avenge the wrongs of Vir
ginia, and to ensure the punishment of
Old Brown, are the very class to whom
these incendiaries appeal to for aid, and
who would gladly hang Greeley and
Helper upon the same gallows with their
friend, the horse thief.
Woods In North Louisiana on Fire.
The Morehouse Advocate of the 12th
ult. says:
The woods and canebrakes in some
places in this parish have been on fire for
the past ten days, and we have under
stood that it has swept everything before
it. A friend told us that a portion of the
Gum Ridge known as the “Bird Roost,”
had burnt off, and that thousands of
acres were left destitute of everything
except the large timber, and that it too
was all killed by the fire. It is a modern
way of clearing land, and this burn will
make it more valuable in that section of
country. Our swamps are fast being
brought into notice, and it is by far the
best lands that we have.
Discovery of Revolutionary Relics.
At the foot of the Totowa Hills, near
Patterson, N. J., are the remains of a
camp, occupied by the American troops
during the winter of 1778-9, and con
sisting of numerous piles of stones in
three or four rows, which appear to have
extended a mile in length. At different
times ashes, bones and other relics, have
been discovered near these old camp
fires. A few days since, Mr. George
Petrie, whose farm crosses the ground,
on opening one of those piles of stones,
discovered an iron chain, a stirrup and
other articles, which had evidently lain on
deposit for nearly eighty years. The
locality is about a mile above the Great
Falls, and will repay a visit to all who
love to dwell upon the privations and
triumphs of our Revolution. On a rock
adjoining the Falls, are the words “G.
W., 1779,” believed to have been cut out
by the Father of his Country, at the
time of his sojourn there.
Attempt to Burn the ‘Washington
Penitentiary.
A most daring attempt was made on
Saturday night to burn the United States
Penitentiary, at Washington, which was
frustrated. The plot was laid by George
Nelson, a discharged convict, whose term
of sentence expired on the 24th ult. He
had tried to persuade another convict,
named Kelly, to assist him, which was
refused. He, however, entrusted his
plan to Kelly, and on Saturday night at
the hour appointed, appeared at the east
wall and attempted to get over and set
the outbuildings on fire. Kelly had pre
viously divulged the plan, and when it
was attempted Nelson and an accomplice
were taken, the former being shot in the
back during the scuffle that ensued.
We learn from the Vicksburg Whig,
that a shooting and cutting affair took
place recently, in Raymond, Miss., be
tween Dr. Reynolds, formerly well known
in this place and Greensboro, and Dr.
Fullerton, which resulted in the death of
Reynolds, from three pistol shots in the
body, and the serious wounding of Ful
lerton by a bowie knife. —Eutaw (Ala.)

Brown Prayer Sleeting.
Montreal, Dec. 2.—A Brown prayer

The Boundary Difficulty,
Asa matter of interest at this juncture,
we publish the special message of the
Governor of Florida, to the Legislature
now in session at Tallahassee :
Gentlemen of the Senate and
House of Representatives:
I communicate herewith, a copy of re
solutions passed by thj Legislature of
Georgia, and copies of letters addressed
to the Executive of the State, and to Col.
D. C. Campbell, who has been appointed
to confer with me in reference to the dif
ficulties growing out of the unadjusted
boundary line between Florida and
Georgia.
I have not. hesitated to express to Col.
D. C. Campbell, in a reciprocal spirit, my
desire to maintain a good understanding
and friendly relations between the people
of the two States, and to assure him that
this Department will net fail to adopt
such measures as may be needful to pre
vent any difficulties that may be appre
hended on the border.
Under the resolutions of the last ses
sion, ratifying the action of the Execu
tives of the two States, in adopting the
terminal points of the present recognized
line, I have appointed a competent Sur
veyor to unite with a Surveyor on the
part of Georgia, in running and marking
the line between the two States. It is
therefore expected that all ground of
difficulty will be removed at an early
date, and the controversy which has
heretofore existed be finally put to an
end. It is, however, apprehended that
in the final establishment of the line, liti
gation may arise in respect to the title of
land which may fall within the jurisdic
tion either of Georgia or Florida, and I
am assured that with respect to any liti
gation which may occur in Georgia, the
Executive of that State will recommend
to the General Assembly such legislation
as may be necessary to perfect titles in
the hands of bona fide holders. I would
respectfully recommend to your favora
ble consideration such actiou as you may
deem best to effect a similar purpose, so
far as this State has any jurisdiction over
the subject.
I would, however, suggest that, in all
probability, if any land shall fall within
the jurisdiction of this State, in the final
designation of the line, the title would
more properly attach to the United
States, in which event this State could
do no more than unite with Georgia in
an application to the Federal Govern
ment for the adoption of such measures
as would most effectually secure the end
desired.
With respect to any ‘criminal prosecu
tions that may grow out of conflicts be
tween those residing in the disputed
territory, I deem it proper to observe
that I shall be animated by the same
spirit, and pursue the same course, if
need be, proposed by the Executive of
Georgia, and if the General Assembly
shall deem it necessary to clothe the
Executive with further power for that
purpose, I respectfully recommend the
proper action to that end.
Very respectfully,
M. S. PERRY.
Life in Virginia.
While attention is directed to the Har
per’s Ferry outbreak, and to the fruit
less attempts made to implicate and se
duce the servants in that region, we ask
special reference and consideration for
the following incident reported by the
Lynchburg (Va.) Republican :
On Sunday last, a crowd of not less
than one thousand negroes, assembled on
the basin, at Lynchburg, Va., to take
leave of the negroes belonging to the
estate of the late Francis B. Schackel
ford, of Amherst county, who, in accord
ance with the will of the deceased, were
about to depart, by way of the canal, for
a free State. The whole number set free
was forty-four, men, women and chil
dren, but only thirty-seven left—the rest
preferring to remain in servitude, in old
Virginia, rather than enjoy freedom else
where. Some of those who did leave
were thrown on the boat by main
force, so much opposed were they to
leaving, and many expressed their deter
mination of returning to Virginia as
soon as an opporiunity offered. Many
were the well wishes tendered to the de
puting negroes by the crowd assembled,
and when the boats started from their
wharves the freed negroes struck up
“Carry me back to Old Virginney,”
which was joined in by one and all, and
in a tone which indicated plainly, that if
left to their own free will, they would
gladly spend the remainder of their
days in peace in the home of their birth.
The negroes, for several years past,
have been under the charge of Mr. 11. H.
Lewis, the executor, who superintended
their removal out of the State.
Good News for our new Rati Roads.
We are pleased to announce, upon good
authority, that Capt. Arnold Seale, Pres
ident of the Montgomery and Eufaula
Rail Road Company—who is now in
Charleston, S. C., purchasing negroes to
work on his road—has already sent home
forty, which number arrived in this city
a day or two since. Capt. Seale is still
in Charleston making purchases, which
he will continue to the worth of $150,000
—at last accounts he bad purchased ten
more, making fifty in all.
Most of our readers are aware that two
hundred and forty negroes were purchased
in Charleston, a couple of months since,
for the South and North Alabama Rail
Road Company. We have this morning
the gratifying intelligence that Dr Wm.
11. Rives, one of the Directory, arrived
yesterday from Charleston, witn the full
number. These negroes are now quar
tered in the State Fair Grounds, near
this city, and will be put to the work of
road bed construction in a few days.—

False Faoking—Letter from a Planter.
A Deer Creek (Miss.) planter writes to
the Vicksburg Sun an indignant and enr
phatic denial of the charge of false pack
ing by planters. He says :
I venture the assertion that in the
whole history of cotton, there have not
been five bales falsely packed in every
50,000 bales. As an evidence of the
truth of this statement, the name of the
delinquent has never been exposed, which
would be a matter of but little difficulty.
Certainly no Mississippi planter within
my knowledge has been charged with this
crime, and it is but fair to presume they
are guiltless. And instead of the New
Orleans factors endorsing this Manchester
falsehood, by giving it currency in their
circulars and prices current, they should
not hesitate to denounce it as a wholesale
and unmitigated slander. It should be so
regarded, until the name of the false
packers are published to the world.
Committal of Allen A. Hall.
Yesterday morniDg, Attorney General
Bate made bis argument before the Mag
istrates, in the case of the State vs Allen
A. Hall. At two o’clock, the Magis
trates announced that they decided to
commit Hall. Thereupon he gave bond
to appear at the next term of the Crimi
nal Court for Davidson county, to an
swer the charge of murder.
Tall Cotton.
The Lake City (Fla.) Press says:
There is a cotton stalk (Sea Island)
now on exhibition at the Trezevant
House, which measures eighteen and a
half feet, and was seventeen feet long
wheu first taken from Mr. Vinzant’s field
It has forty-four limbs, and is little over
an inch in diameter at the ground. There
was one cut from the same plantation
this fall, measuring sixteen feet in length,
and having sixty-four limbs.
Marry Early.
The man of business should marry as
soon as possible after twenty-one years
of age. A woman of mind will conform
to the necessities of the day of small be
ginnings ; and, in choosing a wife, a man
should look at Ist. The heart; 2d. The
mind ; 3d. The person.
Another Gin Hons* Burnt.
The gin house of Mr. L. G. Houston of
this place, on his plantation some four
miles from town, was consumed by fire
on Thursday morning last. The gin house
contained at the time some six or eight
bales of cotton, which were also destroy
ed.—Canebrake (Ala.) Gazette.
Long v. Short Cotton.
It is becoming a question, covering
much interest to the planting community
of East Florida, whether more profit
enures from planting the Long or Short
Cotton. It is a question that should be
maturely reflected upon, and experiments
made whereby the truth may be tested.
The commercial and agricultural pursuits
of Florida are based mainly upon the
production of this staple, and a failure in
the annual production of cotton causes a
material derangement in the prosperity
of all classes.
Our bumble opinion goes out in favor
of the short staple ; and our convictions
are upon these points: That the Short
Cotton is more easily cultivated in its
early growth; that it will yield nearly
twice the quantity per acre ; that it is
more easily gathered, and matures
quicker; that is more easily put in mar
ketable condition ; that it demands a less
fluctuating price ; and that it meets with
constant sale. All these points we do
not wish to prove as detail, but some of
the most prominent points have come
under our observation.
While the planter of the short staple
gets sale for his cotton as soon as it ar
rives in market, the vender of the long
cotton has to wait for some casual specu
lator to purchase his. Months may roll
away, and the shipper of long cotton to
Savannah and Charleston finds his cotton
still in the warehouse of his factor. His
necessities are such that he has to have
money. Advances are made, drafts ac
cepted, provisions forwarded. All of
which create a lien on the cotton, and
after a while his cotton is sold at a price
much below his calculations. He becomes
embarrassed from the deficit, and other
property has to be sacrificed to meet his
liabilities. There is no general demand
for long cotton, and prices arc so fluctu
ating that there is no certainty of the
sales. While short cotton bears a steady
demand, prices very little changed, and
then always a fair value. We take, for
one example, the Messrs. McQueen and
Cottrell. They have made 1500 pounds
per acre, their cotton ginned, and the
most of it shipped, nnd they could have
had the gold iu their pockets some time
since. These gentlemen have tried both
effectually, and they give short cotton
the preference. They are large plan
ters, from one of the best cotton growing
States in the South—Alabama, and they
say Florida will produce short cotton as
well as any State. We hope the plant
ing community will take this matter into
careful consideration. —Cedar Keys Tele

Special Diapatches to the Charleston Courier.
South Carolina Legislature.
Columbia, Dec. s.—Senate. —Mr. E
B. Bryan, of St. John’s Colleton, offered
a reeslution, to tho effect, that South
Carolina appropriate 100,000 towards the
erection of two laboratories in the South,
for the manufacture of implements of
war.
House of Representatives.— Mr. F.
D. Richardson, of Charleston, offered a
series of resolutions, declaring that the
Harper’s Ferry movement should be re
garded as an assault upon the institu
tion of slavery in all the Southern States;
that regarding it as such, it was the duty
of tho entire South to make common
cause with Virginia; that the expenses
incurred by her in putting down this
movement, should be borne by all the
Southern States, in proportion to the
slave population ; that movement being
the legitimate fruits of the teachings of
the Abolition States, the Slaveholding
States should demand indemnity from
them for the expenses incurred ; and that
Governor Gist be requested to tender to
the State of Virginia the proportion
which South Carolina may be allotted to
pay.
Mr. W. D. Simpson, of Laurens, offered
a series of resolutions, declaring that in
the opinion of this General Assembly,
a dissolution of the Union is inevitable,
sooner or later; and that the best inter
est of the South require it as soon as
possible.
Also, that South Carolina has been
ready since the passage of the Conven
tion Ordinance of 1852, and is still ready
to secede; and that in case of an invita
tion from other Southern States, the Gov
ernor be authorized to convene the Gen
eral Assembly and provide for the election
of delegates to a Southern Congress for
the purpose of forming a Southern Con
federacy.
Items from New Orleans.
New Orleans, Dec. 3. —The Habana
to-day, brings Havana dates to November
30. The reports in relation to the Sugar
crop are favorable. The stock on hand
of the old crop is 60,000 hhds. The mar
ket is firm, and holders ask an advance,
operations being limited. Serrano, the
new Captain General, is quite popular.
The popular election in Venezuela, for
President, passed off quietly, and result
ed in the choice of Lomas, the Revolu
tionists being defeated.
Reports from seventy-eight planta
tions in Louisiana, show a deficit from
last year’s crop, of nearly 17,000 hhds.
of Sugar.
Union Meeting,
Philadelphia, Dec. s. —Great prepa
rations are being made for a grand Na
tional Union Meeting irrespective of
party lines, to give expression to the
of the masses of the people of
Philadelphia, denouncing the abolition
and fanatical meetings, which have re
cently outraged and disturbed this com
munity. Able speakers at home and from
abroad will address the meeting, which
will be held at Jay De’s Hall, on Wednes
day evening next. Much spirit is being
manifested, and it is expected that this
will be the largest meeting ever held
in Philadelphia.

Excitement at Charlestown.
Charlestown, Dec. 3.—There is great
excitement by the report that Wheatland,
the residence of George W. Turner, who
was shot at Harper’s Ferry, was on fire,
extending to the building of W. F. Tur
ner, shortly after the execution of Brown.
Also, that the horses And sheep in the

Works of Washington Irving.
The Boston Post, in a recent article on
the sale of books, says:
Os Washington Irving’s works—exclu
sive of the “Life of Washington” and
“The Sketch Book”—there have been
sold within the last ten years 22,000 sets
of 15 volumes each. Os the “Sketch
Book” 35,000 copies have been distribu
ted, and of the “Washington” 42,000
sets of 5 volumes each, and at prices
ranging from $7 to $25 per set. This
gives a grand total of 575,000 volumes
disposed of under G. P. Putnam’s man
agement since 1849. Meanwhile, Mr.
Irving has received, as a reward of his
brain-work, the snug little sum of $75,-
000 in the past ten years. A curious
scrap of secret literary history is the fact
that, at the expiration of Irving’s con
tract with Lea & Blanchard, in 1844,
there occurred a hiatus of five years, into
which no other publishers ventured to
leap. During this time the genial auth
er of “Sunnyside” (then in Spain) imag
ined himself obsolete and forgotten, his
works being almost entirely out of the
market, and no propbsals being made to
him for their republication. In 1849,
Mr. G. P. Putnam tendered to Mr. Irving
a formal offer to assume the re-issue of
the various works, in uniform and at
tractive style, which proposition the
great writer accepted, without sugges
ting a single change of terms; and the
immense sales mentioned are the fruits
of the contract then entered into.
Congressional.
Washington, Dec. s.—ln the Senate,
to-day, Mr. Mason, of Virginia, offered a
resolution providing for the appointment
of a seiect committee to euquire into the
nature and consequences to the General
Government of the recent capture of the
United Stales Armory, at Harper’s Ferry.
Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois,-gave notice of
an amendment, by providing, also, for an
inquisition into the nature of the recent
capture of the Frankfort Arsenal.
After the usual resolution, notifying
the House of its readiness to proceed to
business, the Senate adjourned.
In the House, nearly all the members
were present, and the voting for Speaker
commenced. The vote on the first ballot
was as follows: Sherman, of Ohio, 66;
Grow, of Pennsylvania, 43; Bocock, of
Virginia, 86; and Boteler, of Virginia,
14. Twelve other members were voted
for, and received each from 1 to 5 votes.
Grow then withdrew, not wishing to em
barrass the Republicans, who had divided
their votes between him aud Sherman.
Mr. Clark, of Missouri, offered the
following: Whereas certain members of
the House, now in nomination for Speak
er, have endorsed and recommended Help
er’s “Impending Crisis,” be it
Resolved , That the doctrines and senti
ments therein contained are insurrec
tionary and hostile to the domestic peace
and tranquility of the country, and,
therefore, that no member of this House,
who has endorsed or recommended it, is
fit to be Speaker of this House.
Several Republicans then arose to
points of order, but were not successful
in stopping Mr. Clark, who poured a few
hot shot into their ranks. Several then
disclaimed for their party insurrectionary
and dissolution of the Union sentiments.
Thete were lively times, but good hu
mor prevailed, aud the House adjourned.
The probability is that the slavery ques
tion will be discussed in both Houses to
morrow.
Washington, Dec. 6. —In the Senate
to-day a long discussion ensued, On the
resolution introduced on yesterday, by Mr.
Mason, of Va.
Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, favored the
investigation proposed in Mr. Mason’s
resolution, but he desired also to have an
investigation into the occurrences
which took place in 1855, at Liberty, in
Missouri.
Mr. Mason said he wanted the informa
tion to be officially communicated, and to
base Congressional action on it. He de
nounced John Brown as a vagabond, ruf
fian, thief and robber.
Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, made,
as usual with him, a humorous speech on
the resolution.
Mr. Hunter, of Va., rebuked Senator
Hale for the levity of his remarks upon
such a question ; and said it sounded in
his ears like the laugh of an inebriate, in
a house of mourning, or by the bed side
of the dying.
Messrs. Green, of Missouri, Pugh, of
Ohio, and Iverson, of Georgia, favored
Mr. Mason’s resolution, but opposed Mr.
Trumbull’s amendment.
Mr. Wilson, of Mass., and Mr. Clark,
of New Hampshire, advocated the amend
ment and the resolution.
[The resolution offered on Monday, by
Mr. Mason, of Va., provided for the ap
pointment of a select committee to inquire
into the nature and consequences to the
General Government of the recent cap
ture of the United States Armory at
Harper’s Ferry.]
No definite action was taken on the
resolution, and the Senate adjourned.
House. —Th*e discussion on the resolu
tion offered on yesterday by Mr. Clark, of
Missouri, was resumed to-day. The reso
lution declared that certain members of
the House, now in nomination for Speak
er, had endorsed and recommended Help
er’s Impending Crisis, and that the doc
trines contained in it are insurrectionary
and hostile to the domestic peace and
tranquility of the country, and that no
member who had endorsed or recom
mended it, was fit to be the Speaker of
this House
Mr. Leake, of Virginia, said he was in
favor of the resolution, and desired to
make the Republicans in the Representa
tive Hall face the music.
Mr. Millson, of Virginia, was very
severe in his denunciations against the
endorsers of Helper’s book, and said they
were not only unfit to be elected Speaker
of the House, but were unfit to live in
any country where constitutions and laws
were formed, enacted and regarded.
Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, said that
the present state of feeling between the
free and the slave States was the legiti
mate fruit of the seed sown by Seward of
New York, and those who affiliate with
him.
Messrs. Sherman, of Ohio, and Curtis,
of lowa, said, as Republicans, that they
did not justify any interference with the
relations of master and slave.
Mr. Gilmer, of Virginia, offered a pro
position reiterating the declarations of
the Whig and Democratic parties, here
tofore made, of frowning down all at
tempts to agitate the slavery question,
either in or out of Congress.
Other members engaged in tho dis
cussion.
The House adjourned without taking a
vote for Speaker.
We are in the midst of great excite
ment, and no one can foresee the result.
Washington, Dec. 7. —Mr. Mason’s
resolution created a stirring debate in
the Senate to-day, and is not yet conclu
ded.
Several Northern Senators took occa
sion to disavow sympathy with Brown’s
Harper’s Ferry affair.
Seuators Chesnut, Brown and Iverson
made earnest southern speeches.
In the House, Mr. Clark’s resolution
was debated.
Messrs. Lamar, of Miss., and Prior, of
Va., spoke with much animation. The
debate lasted several hours.
The vote for gpeaker resulted as fol
lows: Sherman 107, Bocoek 88, Gilmer
22. and Scattering 14.
It requires 115 to elect.
Arrival of the Overland Mail.
St. Louis, Dec. 6. —The overland mail,
via El Paso, has arrived, with San Fran
cisco dates to the 14th of November.
This is the quickest trip yet made.
Gen. Scott arrived at Victoria on the
7th November, on board the frigate Mas
sachusetts.
The Victoria Gazette states that all
but one company of our troops will be
withdrawn from the Island by Gen. Scott’s
order. Capt. Rickett’s company remains
in occupancy, according to Gen. Harney’s
first orders.
Gen. Scott will soon return to San
Francisco to await the further orders of
our Government.
The mining news was favorable.
Charleston Democratic Convention.

Bishop Barry, of Savannah.
A Foot Race for a Sew Salt.
We are credibly informed that a couple
of Book Agents in the lower part of this
county, called at the house of a planter
while the landlord was absent, and acted
imprudently, and used some language

gentleman of the house came up soon af

some of his servants, and chastised them,

the negroes caught them before they
reached the depot some half mile distant,
they would get a coat of Tar and Feath

so far that they had to give it up before
they had ran half way.— Waynesboro

Brown’s Execution.
The following dispatches, received at
New York, show how the news of Brown’s
execution was received at the North, at
different places:
MINUTE GUNS FOR JOHN BROWN.
Albany, Dec. 2. —One hundred minute
guns were fired to-day, commencing at 12
o’clock, in commemoration of the execu
tion of John Brown, for murder and in
surrection at Harper’s Ferry.
COLORED MEN PRAYING FOR JOHN BROWN.
Boston, Dec. 2 —The Rev. Mr. Grimes
(colored) held late at his
Church last night for John Brown, and
are continuing them to-day.
THE BELLS TOLLED FOR JOHN BROWN.
Boston, Dec. 2.—The bells in Plymouth
and New Bedford were tolled at noon to
day, in memory of John Brown.
THE FEELING IN BOSTON.
Boston, Dec. 2.—John Brown’s execu
tion to-day attracted considerable crowds
about the newspaper offices as the evening
editions were issued, and several individ
uals promenaded the streets with crape
attached to their persons. Religious ser
vices were held in several of the colored
churches the most part of the day. Oth
erwise there were no manifestations uu
usual to everyday life in the city.
EXCITEMENT IN MANCHESTER.
Manchester, N.H., Dec. 2.—There was
a brisk excitement here this afternoon,
caused by an attempt to toll the obsequies
of “old Brown” from the City Hall bell.
It had struck four or five times, when
Mayor Harrington appeared among the
sympathizers in the belfry and ordered
them to desist. One of them refused,
when the Mayor dropped him through
the scuttle by the most convenient mode,
and the bell didn’t ring any more.
SYMPATHY FOR JOHN BROWN.
Providence, R. 1., Dec. 2.—The sym
pathizers with John Brown held a large
meeting here to-day. Ex-Mayor Barstow
presided and made a lengthy speech.—
Speeches were also made by the Hon.
Thomas Davis, the Rev. Mr. Woodbury (a
Unitarian clergyman), aud the Rev. Mr.
Day (a Free Will Baptist.)
The feeling of the larger part of the
community was strongly against the
meeting. All the prominent men engaged
iu it are among those entertaining ex
treme views upon the slavery question.
meeting in tremont temple.
Boston, Dec. 2. —Tremont Temple was
crowded this even ng, to commemorate
the death of John Brown. All the col
ored population of Boston and its vicinity
were present, together with many ladies
—a large number of whom attended out
of mere curiosity.
SYMPATHY FOR JOHN BROWN AT SYRACUSE.
Syacuse, N. Y., Dec. 2.—The City Hall
was densely packed with citizens this
evening, who listened for over three hours
to stirring and eloquent speeches express
ing sympathy for John Brown and his
family.
Strong resolutions were adopted, and a
Committee on Funds appointed. A large
amount of money was contributed for the
relief of Brown’s family.
The City Hall bell was toiled 63 times,
the strokes corresponding with Brown’s
age.
The sympathy for Brown and his family
is very strong here.
PRAYERS FOR JOHN BROWN.
Philadelphia, Dec. 2.—A meeting as
sembled iu the National Hall this morn
ing, where there was an overflowing at
tendance, to offer prayers for John Brown.
The Rev. Mr. Furniss read a number of
letters from Brown. Addresses were de
livered by Lucretia Mott, Mary Green,
and others.
CHURCH BELLS TOLLED FOR JOHN BROWN.
Worcester, Mass., Dec. 2 —The church
bells were tolled here to-day for the exe
cution of John Brown, from 10 o’clock to
12. This evening a great meeting was
held in Mechanics’ Hall, which was ad
dressed by prominent gentlemen of the
city, clergymen, and others. It was the
largest meeting that has been held in a
long time. Three thousand persons were
in the Hall and a great many Hho could
not get iu. At the close a collection was
taken up for Brown’s family, which was
very successful.
The Labor of Making Hoops.
A correspondent of the Hartford Times
gives the following curious facts respect
ing the manufacture of steel hoops for
ladies’ skirts, at the mill of Henry S.
Washburn, of Worcester, Mass.:
He showed us a specimen of No. 62
iron wire, finer than a hair. It weighed
only seven ounces, and was G 8,900 feet,
or 13 miles, 15 rods, 12 feet and 6 inches
in length! It was drawn cold from a
piece of iron £ inch in diameter. Mr.
Washburn manufactures 20,000 yards a
day of steel crinoline, or flat wire, which
is hard tempered and covered, all ready
for the ladies’ skirts. The manufacture
of this kind of wire, or hoops, is im
mense. Mr. Washburn estimates that at
least 5,000 tons of steel and iron are
used annually in this way for the ladies
of the United States, South America and
Mexico. It is sold, when covered, at
wholesale, at about fifty cents a pound,
and about three-quarters of a pound is
required for each. Indeed, we suppose
that his estimate of 5,000 tons of hoop a
year is quite too low. There are, un
doubtedly, ten millions of females in this
country and the South American States
who wear hoops. Many of them wear
out half a dozen skirts a year ; suppose
the average to be three a year to each,
and that the iron of each weighs only half
a pound—we have 15,000,000 of pounds
of steel and iron hoops used up by the
ladies of the United and South American
States every year, or 7,552 tons, costing
$7,500,000.

An Old Landmark.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
has the following:
In removing the cobble-stones from
Wall street, preparatory to laying down
the Belgian pavement, a large stone
spile was uncovered near the crossing on
Water street, to which ships were moored
in former times. The stone is rough
granite, deeply imbedded in the earth,
and a cavity in its top still contains tra
ces of the lead by which an iron staple
was once fastened. This relic of new
Amsterdam is an object of much curiosi
ty, and it is two full squares distant from
what is now the water front, and shows
what extensive encroachments on the
East River have taken place. Old citi
zens easily remember as long ago as the
year 1807, when all the slips on the east
side of the city extended up to Front
street, except Coenties, which ran up to
Water, (a time when commercial trans
actions were mostly confined to the First
Ward of the city, and when Wall, Water,
Pearl and Front streets were occupied by
many fashionable residences,) but the
time when the stone post aforesaid was
in use is far anterior to the recollection
of any man living.

tion, which, since the survey by Ellicutt,
when Florida was a dependency of Spain,
and that of McNeil in 1825, and subse
quently by others will now soon be set
at rest we trust forever.— Apalachicola

The report via English sources, th£t the
American treaty with China has been re
pudiated by the latter, is untrue. The
latest authentic intelligence from China
is that the British residents were urging
Mr. Bruce to seud a Consul to Swator,
which he could only do under the Ameri
can treaty and his most favored clause.
The Chinese might, after all that has
happened, well refuse this, and out of
this may have arisen the very absurd
story of the rejection of the American
treaty. —Savannah Republican.

Message of Gov. Wise.
Richmond, Dec. 6 —Gov. Wise, in his
Message to the Legislature, gives a his
tory of the Harper’s Ferry invasion. He
thinks the motive of the North is to see
whether we will face a danger now
sealed in blood, and says we must face it
and have a settlement at once—the soon
er the better. Replying to Mr. Buchan
an’s opinion, that the United States Gov
ernment have no right to interfere in
such cases as the Harper’s Ferry inva
sion ; he says it is an alarming announce
ment to the slave States, adding that we
must rely on ourselves and tight for
peace- “l3ay, then, to your tents, or
ganize, and arm.” He recommends that
Virginia now demand from each State of
the Union what position it intends to
maintain in respect to slavery, and that
she permit no more temporizing with the
Constitution; no more compromises. He
recommends the enrolling of all citizens
between the ages of eighteen and twenty
five, who shali always be fully equipped
and armed for service; also, the increase
of the permanent public guard, and an
appropriation for the defense of the
State; to make the Military Institute
furnish otticers and engineers for every
brigade of the m'litia, and an increase of
the military patrol system of the State.

An Interesting Experiment.
Oxford, Ga., Nov., 20, 1859.
Mr. Editor: —l am not in the habit of
writing on agricultural subjects, but when
I see such a vast quantity of land in my
native St ite that needs improving, I am
induced to give you my experiment with
L. S. Hoyt’s superphosphate of lime the
present year. I purchased from Messrs.
Tbos. P, Stovall & Cos., Augusta, Ga.,
last spring one ton of Hoyt’s superphos
phate of lime, and used it for cotton at
the rate of 200 lbs. per acre on very thin
gray and red stiff land, that was neatly
exhausted from long cropping. In order
to satisfy myself with regard to its paying
at the price I gave for it, which was fifty
dollars per ton, I left a few rows unma
nured through the field, on that portion
which was gray or sandy and red stiff
land.
The result was far beyond my ex
pectation. The unmanured portion was
cultivated the same as the manured por
tion, and yielding about three hundred
pounds seed cotton per acre—not’ mere.
The manured portion, side by side with
the uumanured, produced three times as
much, and at least nine hundred pounds
of seed cotton per acre.
I can safely say that for the fifty dol
lars I laid out for the fertilizer, I have
got back one hundred dollars in cotton,
besides leaving the land much improved.
When a planter can loan his money out
at one hundred per cent, interest upon
his own farm, and at the same time im
prove his land, he is doing a first rate
business. This fertilizer, according to
chemical analysis, is rich in prosphoric
acid, lime and potash—three very impor
tant elements necessary to bring cotton
to a high state of perfection ; and if the
land has been exhausted of those ele
ments from long cropping, they must be
replaced in order to make a good crop.
It may be well for me to give my mode
of applying the fertilizer, as a different
mode of application might produce a
different result. I opened a wide deep
furrow, drilled the fertilizer like drilling
cotton seed, at the rate of about 200 lbs.
per acre, running a deep scooter furrow
through to the fertilizer to mix it with
the soil, and bedding on it, which remain
ed so until I was ready to plant.
We had a few weeks drouth, and my
neighbors’ cotton seemed to fade from the
drouth ; my cotton remained of a dark
green color. I made an experiment with
oats also, and the result was about the
same it is for cotton. ‘
It is finely pulverized, does not require
seiving nor mixing with dirt to apply it;
is not offensive to handle, easily taken up
by plants, and a hand can drill it as fast
as a horse and hand can lay off the rows.
If it is applied every other year, I have
no doubt but tbe land would finally be
come rich, as it contains a large amount
of inorganic or earthy food for plants,
more than is taken up by two years crop
ping. Yours, truly,
DAVID DICKSON.

Special Dispatches to the Charleston Mercury.
New Orleans, Dec. 6.—A joint com
mittee of the Mississippi Legislature re
ported a resolution to the effect that if a
Republican President of the United States
be elected, the Governor be requested to
convene the Legislature, provided other
Southern States adopt similar measures,
with a view to self-protection.
Columbia, S. C., Dec. G.—Mr. Moses
took the sense of the Senate on establish
ing a penitentiary in the State, which was
voted down by a vote of 2G to IG.
In the House of Representatives, Mr.
Mullins took the sense of the House on
creating another Law Judge, which was
supported on its second reading.
Mr. Hope offered some resolutions to
(lie effect that the Legislature should do
nothing towards the formation of a South
ern Confederacy until other States invi
ted us to meet them. After some debate,
and a vote on the question, the resolutions
were referred to a committee, just like all
the rest. Many members voted in favor
of Mr. Hope’s resolutions through cour
tesy, so that it could not be considered a
test vote.
Washington, Dec G.—No organization
of the House has been effected yet. It is
freely acknowledged that to-day has been

Burnett, of Kentucky, said his State was
ready to secede, which was received with
great applause.
In the Senate there was a sharp debate
on Mr. Mason’s resolution. The pros
pect for the South is good.
‘Flirilling Incident:.
In a lecture recently delivered by
“Grace Greenwood,” at Boston, on “He
roism,” she referred to an incident that
took place at the burning of a steamer on
one of the Western lakes:
Among the few passengers whose cour
age and presence of mind rose superior
to the per ils and horrors of the night was
a mother, who succeeded in saving her
two children by means only of a floating
settee. While they were in the water the
mother saw a man swimming towards the
settee, and as he was about to grasp it,
she cried out “ Don’t take it away from
my poor little children !” The man made
no answer, yet the appeal struck home;
for by the light of the flaming vessel she
could see that his face was convulsed by
the struggle between (lie mighty primal
instinet of nature and something better
and holier. It was but for a moment.—
He threw up his hands with a groan of
renunciation, flung himself over back
ward, and went down.

Daring Robbery.
A man named Weaver arrived from Pa
nola county, Miss., on Friday last, with a
load of produce, and fell in with two no
torious thieves, named respectively John
Glass and James Owen. They succeeded
in enticing Weaver to a house near the
Charleston Rail Road Depot, and while
there Owen held the arms of Weaver,
while Glass rifled his pockets of §37, and
felling Weaver to the ground, succeeded
in making their escape. Weaver made
complaint to the police, and late Friday
night Glass was arrested. On Saturday
morning the Grand Jury found a true
bill against him ; he was tried by the
Court, and sentenced to twelve year-’
imprisonment in the penitentiary. This
was what might be termed quick work.
Glass was once before sentenced to the
penitentiary, but was pardoned, and had
got off on two other occasions by turning
State’s evidence. His committal to jail
was received by the prisoners confiued
there with cheers and groans of derision.
