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. A SUBSCRIBER. The Adams’ Express. The following card has been issued and posted in all the offices of the different branches of the company. Office of tub Adams’ Express Company, } South Western Division. Augusta, Nov. 1. J Mr. C. Haskell, Agent: Sir —Should any cases, trunks, or other description of freight, likely to contain munition for in surrection, rebellion, robbery, or other proceedings against the laws of your State, or of the United States, arrive at your depot or office, consigned to a party or parties with whom you are not ac quainted, you are hereby directed to im mediately notify the marshal, or other proper officers of the Parish, County, District or Town, and hold the freight subject to the direction of the said officer. Your careful and watchful attention is required to prevent the facilities of this company, as forwarders, being made use of by improper parties. Yours, truly, R. 13. BULLOCH, Sup’t. 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.) Whiff. * At the late meeting of the English Scientific Association it was stated that about four thousand deaths occur annu ally in England from small pox, and that the lives of three thousand nine hundred and ninety might be saved by a proper attention to vaccination. Brown Prayer Sleeting. Montreal, Dec. 2.—A Brown prayer Ik meeting was held here to day. Dr. Howe, of Boston, was present. 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.— Montgomery Mail , 6th. ♦ 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 graph. 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. Washington Items. Washington, Dec. s.—Hon. John Sher man, Republican, of the Thirteenth Con gressional District, Ohio, will probably be chosen Speaker of the House to-mor row. The President’s Message is not to leave this city until communicated to Congress. 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 vicinity were dying mysteriously ; sup posed to be poisoned. Massachusetts on Brown. Boston, Dec. 2. —Resolutions were of fered in the Massachusetts Legislature to adjourn on account of the execution of Brown. They were voted down with great unanimity. ♦ 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. Washington, Dec. 7.—The National Democratic Executive Committee to night fixed the time for the meeting of the Charleston Convention on the 23d of April next. Death of Biahop Barry. New York, Dec. 7.—The steamer brings the news of the death in Paris, of 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 that was not healthy in this climate; the gentleman of the house came up soon af ter they left, learning what had happened —pursued and overhauled them, with some of his servants, and chastised them, then turned them loose, and told them if the negroes caught them before they reached the depot some half mile distant, they would get a coat of Tar and Feath ers, but the Yankees out run the Darkies so far that they had to give it up before they had ran half way.— Waynesboro News, Gth. The shipment of cotton from the port of Memphis during the month of Novem ber, amount to 84,949 bales, the largest ever made in a single month. Os this, 58,513 came to New Orleans, 17,751 were for the Ohio, and 8,685 for St. Louis. The receipts by the river for the month were 7,222 bales. 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.

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.

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. ♦ Professor G. J. Orr, on the part of the State of Georgia, and Col. B. F. Whitier, on that of the State of Florida, are now at Chattahoochee, with a staff of assis tants, making meteorological observations to determine the variations of the com pass, preparatory to a final determination of the bouudary line between the two States, the Legislatures of which having fixed upon the points at each end of the line, Which is upon the junction of the Flint and Chattahoochee rivrs on the west, and Ellicutt’s Mound on the east; the latter instead of the hitherto in dis pute, viz; the head waters of the St. Mary’s river. So that this vexed ques 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 Advertiser. 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.

Senate. —Message No. 3 of Gov, Gist, was read, announcing the reception of certain resolutions, from the Governor of the State of New York. These resolutions express surprise, mortification and dissatisfaction at the virtual re opening of the African slave trade, and call upon the Slate of South Carolina to aid in the detection and pun ishment of all aggressors. House of Representatives The Committee on Commerce recommend an eppropriation of $50,000 for the employ ment of a dredge boat in deepening the entrance to Charleston harbor, also make a favorable report in relation to rates for wharfage, recommended by the Charleston Chamber of Commerce. 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. Election of Wood. Philadelphia, Dec. 6 —Advices re ceived here from New York, report the election of Fernando Wood to the Mayor alty gs that city, by a heavy majority. 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. ♦ Pnion and Constitution Meeting to be Held In Fanueil Hall to Re buke Domestic Treason..

JOHN BROWN. 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 the most stormy and exciting day in Washington for he past ten years. Mr. 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. Supposed Arrest of tire Provisional Secretary. Officer A. E. Sofer, of Poolesville, Md., yesterday identified a man in Alexandria, who was arrested and escaped from that place. It is believed that there is hardly a doubt but that the arrested man is Richard Raelf, described as Secretary of State under the provisional government of old Brown, lately arrived from Eng land, and on bis way—under an assumed name—to Charlestown. He says lie is an Englishman. He is about twenty-eight years of age, is of delicate build, but has on a number of extra under-clothes to increase his appa rent. size. He is about five feet eight inches high, light hair, fair complexion, and keen, restless eye He speaks very fluently, and uses fine language; exceed ingly cool and collected when under ex amination, and very ready to meet all questions propounded to him.— Washing ton States, 3d. * 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. —Memphis Avalanche. A Spectre at the Marriage Feast While a couple were being married in New York, on Saturday evening last, two police t fficers made their appearance, and, after the nuptial ceremonies were over, arrested the bride and bridegroom for passing a counterfeit bill to the hackman who conveyed them to the clergyman’s residence. On examination, it was found that they had given another counterfeit bill to the clergyman, whereupon they were taken to the police offic and searched. Nothing was found to impli cate the bride, and she was allowed to depart; but tbe bridegroom had to pass the night in the Tombs. ———♦ Merchants’ Shipping Receipts.
