Choice Cigars. Jose Mir, Agent, has laid on our table a lot of cigars of the most improved brands, which were selected by him in person. We speak by the card when we say they are superior in quality. As he sells by the wholesale as well as retail,, dealers would do well to give him a call. See his advertisement. The Bunyan Panorama. According to advertisement elsewhere, this work of art will be exhibited for a few nights this week at Temperauce Hall, commencing to morrow night All who have read the greatest Allegory ever penned, will ofqcourse wish to see it as , embodied and pictured on canvass. It is r entirely a conception and product of ‘ American art, and is represented to be ‘ executed very vividly and truthfully. Tile Democratic Meeting Saturday. From the orgau, the Times of yester day, we learn that the action of a portion of the Democratic members of the Legis lature in calling aConvention of the par ty to appoint delegates to Charleston, was repudiated by the Democratic meeting Saturday, llesolutious were adopted re cognizing the authority of the Executive Committee to act in the premises, and also signifying that the resignation of the delegates appointed by the recent Con vention at Milledgeville would promote the harmony and interest of the party. —♦ 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 by way of Montgomery and Mobile. The expense will be greater according to tho detention on the route. Passengers for the Orescent City from the points above indicated, can now avail themselves of tite regutar trips of the Florida, and go and return with much less expeuse, and what is equivalent to the Same thing j with busings men, in much less time. I 1 ’ “ ‘ 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.

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.

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. QUOTATIONS. Ordinary Leafy and burned B]/, to 9% Low .Middlings to t,- H Middlings 914 to btrict to Good Middlings lo to 11% Middling Fair 1034 to 11% j 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.

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: Letter from Paul Morphy, the celebrtited Chess Flayer. New York, October 15th, 1559 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.

PAUL MORPHY'. Boston, Sept. 27th, 1859. Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.: Dear Sir :—lt gives me great pleasure to com ply with your request for a report of the perform ance of 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. Firm of Clapp, Fuller A BrotvD, Bankers, Boston. 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.
