River News.
Our river is in fine boating condition.
Yesterday afternoon, the Ben Franklin, !
Capt. Markham, left for Apalachicola.
This morning at 9 o’clock, the new steam
er Marianna, Van Veghten, Master,
leaves with about GOO bales of cotton and j
other freight. I’asseugers should bear
in mind that she leaves al 9 precisely.
The River Bt ide leaves at 8 a. in., with
a very good freight, of sundries, a liberal
portion of which is Flour from our city j
mills.
The steamer Oswichee arrived last
night, and will leave Wednesday morn
ing. For freight or passage apply ‘on
board.
Steamer Marianna.
This new steamer, built the’ past sum- j
mer at Pittsburgh, under the supervision \
of Capt. Van Veghten, reached our wharf t
Friday night, with a full freight and a |
good list of passengers. We paid her a
visit ou Saturday. She is a substantially
built craft, combining every convenience |
in construction, Her cabin is handsome, I
but not extravagant, and the berths
roomy and comfortable. The bridal *
chamber is a superb affair, offering flue
inducements for pleasure trips to new
couples. M ith three such boats ou our
river as the Marianna, Munnerlyn and
Calhoun, to say nothiug of the other good |
boats, the traveling public need not fear a
want of comfort in their trips to the
Bay or other points on the Chattahoochee. j
Success and a profitable season to them
all.

Theater— The Robbers.
An audieuce large in number and re
spectability turned out Saturday night to
witness Schiller’s thrilling and romantic
play of “The Robbers.” The principal ;
character, Charles de Moor, was person
ated by Edwin Booth, whose conception
of it is excellent, and who rendered it :
“excellently well.” The other parts were
very well and truthfully represented by
Mr. and Mrs. Stetson, Mr. Keller, and
others, and barriug the necessity of
prompting one or two of the subordinate
characters, the whole was well received.

The Homicide in CalUouu County,
Alabama.
On the authority of the Talladega
(Ala-,) Reporter, we published the lot -
lowiug paragraph in the Sun yesterday
morning:
“A man named Medcalf was shot by
another named Sturkie. in Calhoun coun
ty, Ala., and died in fifteen minutes. —
Sturkie was arrested, went before a Mag
istrate, and was released on the ground
that he did not kill the man he shot at.”
Since then we have been informed by
Mr. Wesley Sturkie, uucle of the defend
ant, that the killing was purely accident
al, and on this ground was his nephew
released.
Tbe Bc-t .Route to HfW Cr'ta ■
Tho regular trips of the fine new steam
ship Florida,. frorn Apalachicola, jo New
Orleans, has opened the best ami cheap
est route to the Utter city from Columbus
and other points North, East and South
l iC According to the advertised rates
! the expense from this point is $lB, which
j is cheaper by at least one-third than it is

Tile Ru.il Road Election.
The Upson Pilot of Saturday, referring j
; to the vote on the proposed subscription I
of this city td the two Rail Roads in con- ‘
tcuiplatioii, says:,
“Wo hope an election will soon be held :
and the question as to the LaGrauge and
Tiiomaston connection be put separately,
as proposed by the Daily Sun.”
As the municipal elections have been
decided, and the attendant excitement i
passed away, we take the occasion sug- |
gested by the paragraph from the Pilot to
express the hope that our “city fatners” |
will authorise an election at an early day j
to ascertain the sense of the qualified
voters as to the subscription question, j
A special election for this purpose would i
effectually decide it.

In the Engraving of Washington. These splendid
engravings are from original paintings by Hicks,
and are engraved on steel in the highest style of
Art. They are each 25x35 inches, each contain
ing six square feet. So many coarse, miserable
pictures liave been palmed upon the public as
works of art—and especially in cheap, black and
muddy engravings—that it is difficult to convince
persons of taste that they are safe in ordering
what they have not first seen. We have paid the
first artists their own prices, amounting to many
Thousand Dollars, to produce engravings really
beautiful, ns well as the best portraits, and that
shall be splendid ornaments to any parlor.
OPINIONS THAT CAN'BE BELIED ON.
The Editcr of tho New York Obs-rv.r says: j
“These engravings are genuine works of art —the 1
likenesses are admirable. The portrait of Mr. !
Everett wiil take precedence of all others ” j
The New York Christian Advocate says : “They j
are among the finest engrnriugs that we h ive

f OTT< >X—The receipts yesterday amounted
; io 471 bales, and sales 322 bales on a basis of
. quotations below. But little was dons’ during
file day in consequence of the inclemency of
the weather and darkness of the day.
REVIEW or THH MARKET FOB THE WEEK ENDIN'O DEC. 17.
i Our last report, closing with the business of
i tho loth inst., quoted Middling at to
i Strict to Good Middling loro 10/40., the market
on the last day or two having softened down
Jz ß e. On Monday, the first day under review.
: there was a general attendance of buyers at an
early hour; this expression of confidence had
j the effect of causing holders to ask very full
prices, in some instances %to > 4 c. above our
last quotations, with light offering stock only
j — J hales sold; on Tuesday the market prices
wtere again very fall, and desire to buy very
i general, 387 lialcs Sold, and about as many more
j not iv<Povted, at very im-guiir prices-—several
. tines of.Low Middlings sold at Wednesday
’ * iuuiar circumstances prevailed, and 309 bales
| sold; i bur-day, the demand was good and free
lly met by holders—723 hales clmuged hands at
1 luiiy un y£e. above our- iut quotations; Friday
tlic weather was Very inclement, only 108 bales
; soid; Saturday, the market was again without
j animation, but very little disposition to press
sales, tne transactions of the day reached 250
j bales.
In submitting the following quotations, we
: would remark mat- they are not so full tis some
1 would like as a limit to fill orders, but they are
j fully as high as actual sales can be effected, and
j are made up upon a basis of the actual average
I sales of tiie week.

for tite post week or two we have noticed !
. the receipt, ol some iiitie stained cotton;
! the past week the receipt of this de
scription of cotton Ims materially increased,
: until it is now almost impossible to buy crops
witnout more or less stained, or frost bitten
bales; when sold upon their own merits bring
1 *>‘/2 to ‘Jy 2 e. according to quality. During the
week there has been a better demand for the
better glades of Strictly Good Middlings to Mid- I
dling Fair; and some 400 or 000 bales of this
class have been sold at 11% to 10%. The most,
U not all, has been purchased for the Gulf mar
ket, where .they arc more highly appreciated
than m the Atlantic ports. As the season ad
vances tins description of cotton is getting
I more and more scarce, and relatively nigner.
Fiaaters have been selling rather more lreely
the past week, the natural result of the near ap
proach of the new year, when pecuniary obliga
tions are to be met.
Receipts for the week are 1,999 bales in excess
of the corresponding week of last year. The
! total receipts are 5,7 50 bales less than to the
same dates last year. It is supposed that the
accumulations of cotton on tne Mobile and
j Girard Hail Koad and die Opelika and .Mont
gomery Ttail Road, awaiting transportation to
this place, is more than sufficient to make our
receipts equal to last year. The difficulty
1 planters have experienced in getting their cot
tons forward, particularly over the first named
Road, iias turned a number of them to Eufau'a,
where the receipts are about 3,000 bales greater
than last year. This cause, with the extension
of the South-Western Rail Road to Cuthbort,
and the higher prices at Montgomery, have
turned cotton from this market, which we have
heretofore received—and may in all probability
reduce our receipts below the calculations
i made some weeks ago. The estimates now, as
the probable receipts of this place, vary from
100,000 to 115,000 bales, which is 5,000 to 10,000
bales lower than six weeks ago, and may be as
signed to the above’ causes rather than ally re
! duced estimates of production.
Shipments have been 4,087 bales, of which
1,149 bales have gone to Apalachicola, 420 bales
to Montgomery, 104 bales to Charleston, (via
Opelika and West Point Kail Road) and the re
mainder 2,423 bales via Muscogee Rail Road.
The river is in fine boating order, and likely to
continue so the remainder of the season. Ship
pers continue to complain of the difficulty of
having cotton delivered at some of the ware
houses. owing to the accumulation of stock, and
a scarcity of warehouse room.

AMERICAN WATCHES,
MADE BY THE
American Watch Company,
AT WALTHAM, MASS.
Attention is invited to tbe following statement
andt.be accompanying letters of recommendation
and testimonials of these celebrated Watches.
A gold medal was awarded the Company by the
Massachusetts Mechanical Association, 1856,
A gold medal. was also awarded them by tbe
Amoriean Institute at New York, in 1867.
The Company also received tbe first premium—
a gold medal—from the Franklin Institute, Phila
delphia, in 1858.
These watches have now been in the market for
nearly ten years, during which time they have
been tested as to accuracy, durability and relia
bility, in every conceivable manner, and have
provid themseives to be the most satisfactory
time-pieces ov r offered to the public.
This result has been biought about by a strict
applicatiou of mechanical science to the construc
tion of the Watch from its very inception, render
ing it. when finished, mathematically correct in all
itspriqiortions- and, necessarily, as perfect a time
keeper as it is possible to make.
The Company have tested their Watches, in
many instances, by actual daily noting, and the
result of this test has been that they have exhibited a
rate equal in regularity to the best Marine Chronom
eter The following certificates are from gentle
men who have carried their Watches with them in
their daily avocations, and are, therefore, reliable
indications of what may be expected fiom the
American Watch when in ordinary active use:

Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir:— The American watch. No. 9240,pre
sented me by the New York Chess Club, has
proved to be a most reliable and accuiute time
keeper—almost unnecessarily so for ordinary pur
poses. It if now neatly live mouths since it came
into my {icasession, and during that period its
variation fr< in staudard time has been but a trifle
mote than bait a minute. The following is a
record of its performance. It was set June 3d,

Boston, Sept. 27th, 1859.
Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—lt gives me great pleasure to com
ply with your request for a report of the perform
ance of tho American watch which I purchased
of you Dec. 2d, 1858. It wag set on that day, and
its vatiation from true time to the 19tli of Febru
ary, 1859, when 1 let it run down, was ten seconds
fast. From that time to tlie present, it baa run
with nearly perfect steadiuess, having, during tlie
eight months, varied not more than two seconds,
and this with uncommonly rough usage I can
commend your manufacture in the highest terms.
Yours truly, JAMES H. CLAPP.

The following is from Mr. Porter, the well
known Marino Chronometer and Watchmaker:
Boston, Sept. 28th, 1859.
Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. “Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir:—l have sold during tho last yuir a
considerable number of watches of the Waltham
manufacture, and am happy to say that all of
them, without exception, have fulfilled my guar
anty, and have given satisfaction to the purcha
sers. GEORGE E. PORTER.
Wili.tox Bluff, S C., Oct. 20,1859.
It. E. “Robbins, Esq.:
Drar Sir: —The three watches of your manu
facture which 1 purchased to boused on my plan
tation, have proved to be the most correct time
keepers I have ever known. I gave my head
servant, my head carpenter, and my head engi
neer, each, ob© of them; and since they have
been in their respective possession, everything
on the plantation has moved like clock-work, in
consequence of the extreme accuracy and regu
larity with which these watches perform.
Truly yours, LEWIS MORRIS.
Boston, Aug. 20th, 1859.
R. E Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—The “ Waltham,” which I purchased
some six months since, has given entire satisfac
tion. Its time has been fully equal to that of a
“ Frodsham,” which I owned more than a year.
Truly yours, ALBERT METCALF,
65 Franklin st.
Boole Room, 200 Mulberry street,
New York, Oct. sth, 1859.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—I take great pleasure in being able
to certify that for the last six months I have car
ried a watch from the manufactory of the Ameri
can Watch Company, and that it has given per
fect satisfaction as a time-keeper. Judging from
the one I have, I do not hesitate to predict that
the day is not far distant when watches mado in’
the United States will supercede all others.
’ JAMES FLOY, D. D.
Boston, Aug. 9th, 1859.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—I take pleasure in stating that the
American watch 1 have of your manufacture,
performs to my entire satisfaction, running regu
larly at the rate of thirty seconds fast per month.
Capt. GORHAM 11. BASSETT.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir, —The watch I bought of you—one of
your adjusted Chro. Bal. movements—runs to my
entire satisfaction. For the past three months it
has not varied more than one minute, and is now
running at that rate. It has seen the hardest
service in every way in point of locomotion.
Yours truly, C. C. SHEAFE.
New Haven, Conn., Sept. 27th.
R. E. Robbins, Esq.:
Dear Sir: —Yours of the 23d was duly received.
In reply I would say, that the American watch
No. 6939, has proved itself one of the best watches
for r “ilway purposes.
Tbe American watch, in my opinion, is far bet-”
ter than any watch I have used for the last four
teen years on railroads. I remain, respectfully
yours, G. A. FULLER,
Conductor New Haven, Hartford and
Springfield R. R.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Str:— Tho American watch that I pur
chased of yon about a year since, runs with great
exactness ; its variations being so slight that I
have not found it necessary to set it for several
months. Y'ours truly, WM. B. SPEAR.
CAUTION. —AsourYVatch is now extensively
counterfeited by foreign manufacturers, we have
to inform the public that no Watch is of our pro
duction which is unaccompanied by a certificate of
genuineness, bearing tbe number of the Watch,
and signed by our Treasurer, R. E. ROBBINS,or
by our predecessors, APPLETON, TRACY k CO.
49~Aa these Watches are for sale by Jewelers
generally throughout tho UnioD, we do not so
licit orders for single Watches. For the American

YTTK have put up • and sold this articlo
W for over ten Qj years, and can say,
in confidence and truth of it, w hat we
have never been able to say of any other
medicine— NEVER HAS IT FAIL
ED, IN A SIN- ftrt OLE instance, to
Effect a CURE, when timely used,—
Never did we know an instance of dissatis
faction by any one <r who used it On the
contrary, all are de- m lighted with its opera
tions, and speak in terms of highest com
mendation of its magi- cal effects and medical
virtues. We speak in this matter “ what
we do know,” at- rK ter ten years’ exjieri
euco, and pledge w our reputation for
the fulfilment of what we here de
clare. In almost every instance where
the infant is Buffering from pain and exhaus
tion, relief will be found in fifteen or
twenty minutes after □□ tbe Syrup is adminis
tered. r
This valuable prepa- pH ration is the prescrip
tion of one of the most __ experienced and
skillful Nurses in New England.and has
been used with never failing success
in
THOUSANDS OF CASES.
It not only relieves the cliiei from pain,
but iuvigorates the stomach and bowels,
corrects acidity, and gives tone and energy
to the whole system. XIjL It will almost instant
ly relieve \
Griping in the [> Bowels, and
WIND P’ COLIC,
and overcome convulsions, which if not
speedily remedied end in death. YVe believe
it the best andsur- lJ est remedy in the
world, in all cases r ”j of Dysentery and
Diarrhcee in Chil- £Q dren, whet her it
arises from teething, or from any other
cause. We would say X. to every mother who
has a child suffering from any of the fore
goingcomplaints—do not let your pre
judices, nor the prejudices of oth

and the relief that will r be SURE—yes, ab
