Louis Nnpolcoii mill ills itllasiou. That Louis Napoleon has, in his speeches, declarations and writings, furnished the key to liis own character and designs is the belief of a good many people; hut there arc many others who contend that now he is on the throne of France, the Emperor is more likely to look to the security of his dynasty than to the reali zaiion of promises and projects flung before the world, in order to show that he had a grand “mission” to accomplish, and in order to retain and increase his partisans. If, however, the Emperor secretly believes that the safety of his throne and the perpetuation of his dynas ty would behest secured by the cautious but determined attempt to accomplish his “ mission,” the two classes of interpreters would be nearly reconciled. The Morning Advertiser firmly, believes that for seve ral years past the Emperor of the French has been gradually and skillfully working out his programme; and our cotemporary, in order to show how completely It has read the character and fathomed the de signs of his Imperial Magesty, says: “ For years—even so far back as the early stage of the Russian war—we en deavored to direct public attention to Napoleonic, intrigues in Italy.’ Toward the close of last year, when the world still lay in its repose, and no New Year’s harangue had yet been spoken to ruffle its composure, we wrote, ou November 29, the following words: “Italy is the great field on which Bonaparte’s intrigues have for many years past had full play. That the ruler of France has long medi tated the carrying out there of some coup, none but those can doubt who never trouble themselvs to look beneath the sur face of things. These dangers may ap pear visionary to men who shut their eyes to all coming events. For our part, we remember too well how the forebo dings of a Russian war were sneered at and ridiculed a few years since; how it was the custom to treat with supercilious contempt all Signs of warning of perilous contingencies. But ours is tlie watcher’s duty, who scans the troubled horizon fer signs of storm and shipwreck. The cri sis, we arc firml convicted, is fast ap proaching.’ In the same article, we pre dicted an ‘armed intervention in the affairs of the South of Europe, Piedmont and France making common cause, the latter supporting the Court, of Sardinia in an attack on the Austrian dominions Several passages arc quoted from oth er leading articles, written before the war, to show the foresight of our cotern porary, and, having thus established his claim to be considered a political prophet, he proceeds thus: “But we repeat, we only lay stress on all this in order to show that it is possible, to those who have studied the character of Louis Napoleon, to anticipate his designs and to gauge their probable result. At the present moment, when easily deluded men again break out in exultation on account of ‘the proof the ruler of France has given of his desire to be on good terms with England by warning the French press to moderate its tone against us,’ we hold it doubly necessary to point back to the passages above given. We still declare our conviction that lie meditates mischief for tho coining year, and if anything could be calculated to enhance this per suasion, it is the very fact of this recent ‘proof of moderation’—so similar to those proofs of moderation’ given to Austria a few short months before ho made his thrust at her.” Soutli Carolina Lcgisiaturc. lu tho. Lower House of the South Caro lina Legislature, Friday, HJr. Memmin ger offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, and scut forthwith to the Senate: Resolved, That it is the deliberate judgment of the General Assembly of South Carolina that the slaveholding States should immediately meet to con cert measures for united action. Resolved, That the foregoing resolu tions be communicated by the Governor to all the slaveholding States, with the earnest request of South Carolina that they appoint delegates, and adopt such measures as, iu their judgment, will pro mote said meeting. Resolved, That a special commissioner be appointed by the General Assembly to communicate the foregoing resolutions to the State of Virginia, and to express to the authorities of that State the cordial sympathy of the people of South Caro lina with the people of Virginia, and their earnest desire to unite with them in measures of defence. • Resolved, That the State of South Caro lina owes it to her own citizens to pro tect them and their property from every enemy, and that for the purpose of mili tary preparation for any emergency, the sum of SIOO,OOO be appropriated for mil itary contingencies. ♦ Burglar Shot. We understand that the dwelling of Mr. George M. Figh, situated on Catoma street, was entered by a burglar about lialf-past 2 o’clock yesterday morning.— Mr. Figh was absent from home at the time, aud a young man by the name of John Compton, a relative of tho family, was occupying a lower room of the house as a sort of protection to the inmates, lie heard the burglar when he first com menced picking at the lock, and prepar ed for his reception, lie permitted him to get into the house, and then shot at him, but owing to the excitement of the rmoment he caused the gun to go off too soon, only slightly wounding him. Some traces of blood were left. Afterwards, lie bursted acap while the gun was point ing directly at his breast, but unfortunate ly, it failed to go off, and the burglar made his’ escape through the. window, leaving his boots and socks.— Mont. Ad vertiser, 111 si. Accident. Yesterday forenoon a man named James Booth, a native of Manchester, England, was so seriously injured that lie died in a few hours by being run overby a cotton train. The deceased was switching off one train when another backed down up on him, cutting off one arm and crushing his thigh. He bore his sufferings with all the composure of a stoic, never ut tering a groan, though sensible and con versing with thoso who were present. The-unfortunate accident happened near the depot. Ho leaves two children Mobile Register, 17//t. T!ie Devil In. A juvenile sweep was employed to cleanse tho chimney of the building in one of our blocks, and asceuded to the roof for a survey. By mistake ho de scended the wrong flue and found himself in the office oF a well known attorney. Both parties were in the utmost alarm ; tho boy trembling from fear of chastise ment, and the lawyer from terror of the sooty apparition. At length the former spoke in an unearthly tone: “My father will be here directly.” This was too much for the attorney; he did not await another such visitor, but sprung to the door, cleared a flight of stairs, and took refuge in a neighboring restaurant. ♦ Weighty Parkers. Our friend D. W. Sims who oversees for Mr. John W. McQueen, gave us a list of the weight of 34 hogs which he killed the other day. The heaviest weighed 385 lbs, and the lightest 125 lbs. The aggregate weight of the 34 was 8072 lbs. being an overage of 237. 1 , lbs. apiece. These hogs would do to talk about even iu Tennessee.— Hayneville Chronicle. A gentleman of Richmond, Me., in forms the editor of the Rising Sun, that in making a road across his pasture a few days since, the top of a hillock was taken off, when he discovered in the space of about two feet square, eighty-four snakes, varying in length from four inches to ! more than a foot. They were of several ; kinds, but mostly of the kind known as ! the “green snake.” The Franklin Review of the Bth inst says: “Rev. A. S. Riggs, of this county, i slaughtered 12 hogs which were only 20 months old, the average weight of which ’ , !orP° Un< * s ’ heaviest one 2™; if jj.YSr'lp.S'’ “^ ,ha ” ! Statement from Cook mid Cojiptt. The Baltimore Sun publishes the fol I lowing letter, explaining the manner in which Cook and Coppie, unsuccessfully, attempted to make their escape, on the night preceding the day of their execu tion. Charlestown, Dec. IG, 1859 Having been called upon to make a fair staement in regard to the ways and means of our breaking jail, I have agreed to do ’ so from a sense of our duty to the Sheriff of the county, and jailor and jail guard. We do not wish that any one should be unjustly censured on our account. The principal implements with which we opened a passage through- - the wall of the jail were a Barlow knife, and a screw which we took out of the bedstead. The knife was borrowed from one of the jail guards to ent a lemon with. We did not return it to him He had no idea of any intention on our part to break out; neith er did the sheriff’s jailor, nor any of the guard, have any knowledge of our plans. We receeived no aid from any person or persons whatever. We had, as we sup | posed, removed all the brick except the i last tier, several days ago ; but on the evening previous to our breaking out, we found our mistake in regard to that mat ter. We had iatended to go out on the evening that my sister and brother-in law were here, but I knew that it would reflect on them, and we postponed it; but I urged Coppie to go, and I would remain, but he refused. We theu concluded to wait. I got a knife blade from Shields Green, and with that made some teeth in the bar low knife, with which we sawed off our shackles. We had them all off the night previous to our getting out. Coppie went out first and I followed. We then got up on the wall, when I was discovered and shot at. The guard outside the wall im mediately came up to the wall. We saw there was no chance to escape, and as it was discovered that we broke jail, we walked in deliberately and gave ourselves up to the sheriff, Capt. Avis, and the jail guard. There was no person or persons who aided us in our escape. This is true so help us God. [Signed,] JOHN E. COOK, EDWIN COBPIC. The Home Journal on the Field and Fireside.

Tire Proper Spirit. Gov. Ferry, of Florida, haviug received a copy of Helper’s “Impending Crisis o the South,” through the mail at Tallahas see, forthwith sent a special message to the Legislature iu session, from which we extract the following: “ I would recommend that- the General Assembly shall pass a Joint Resolution, addressed to our Senators and Represen tatives in Congress, instructing them to demand that any member of the Senate or House of Representatives of the Uni ted States, who has aided in causing this book to be distributed or circulated and sent into the State of Florida, thereby in citing insurrection in the State of Flori da, shall be expelled from the Congress of the United States. And that our Sen ators and Representatives be instructed to prefer charges against each and every member of the Congress of the United States who has in any manner whatever aided in circulating, or causing this treasonable book to be sent into the State of Florida, and cause such person or per sons to be arraigned before the Senate or House of Representatives of the United States of America. And that the Gene r.il Assembly select a suitable person lo convey said Joint Resolution to our Sena tors aud Representative in Congress. “The framers of this government never intended that those who incite the com mitting of treason, murder and conspi racy in a sovreign State, should be wor thy of occupying seats from which they should enact laws for the government of this nation, and has provided a power iu Congress for their expulsion.” From Washington. Washington, Dec. 15.—As a business I item, 1 send you the following: The Pres ident certainly said to-day that no man was authorized to state that he should ; send in his Message on Monday, or that lie should send it out to the postmasters, as has been usual. 1 know the fact that | thirty reporters have been furnished the i reports from each department, aud from this I infer that they are to go with his message, and that all will reach you to gether through your city postmaster. The Democratic Senators held a caucus * is morning to further consider th ■ ar i rangement of the Standing Committees ! Mr. Toombs, it is understood, advocated 1 the restoration of Mr. Douglas as Chair man of the Committee on Territories; but no vote was taken on that point, as | Mr. Toombs stood alone in the caucus in i entertaining that desire. Mr. Green will 1 doubtless continue as Chairman. Messrs. Pugh and Douglas were not in the caucus. Let the South Make her own Shoes* Lynn, in Massachusetts, is the town which makes shoes for the South, and thrives by it. At Lynn, when John Brown was hung for attacking and kill ing our people, a meeting of sympathy was held, aud a church bell was tolled.— In the city couucil resolutions have been ; offered condemning this. They were laid upon the table by a vote of nine to six Twocouncilmen who favored their passage voted in the affirmative, with a view of having the resolutions aoted on by a full council. An intelligent New Englander remark ed to us in a conversation, more than two years ago, that “if the South would make her own shoes, she would strike a most effective blow at Abolitionism in its stronghold ” — Richmond Index.

Cook— His Last Interview with Old Brown Misrepresented. The Cleveland Morning Leader pub lishes the following letter from the pris oner Cook : Charlestown Jail, Dec. 9, 1859. To the Editor of the Morning Leader: Dear Sir:—l bad the pleasure of re ceiving yesterday evening a copy of your interesting paper. In its perusal I was somewhat- surprised to see a copy of a letter which I bad written to Mr. and Mrs. Seller, of your city. When 1 wrote that letter I had no thought of its ever being published. But as I see some false statements in regard to my fellow prison ers and myself, which you have quoted from other papers, I am glad Mr. Seller took the liberty to give it publicity. I am also thankful to you for the comment you made upon those statements. I will only say such statements as have been made by the Times, in regard to my companions and myself, “ are to tally false. There has not been one sin gle instance, in which I have felt or any sign of fear or nervousness since I Lave been here. Neither has my comrade Coppie, since he has occupied the cell with me, shown any such weakness, or dread of death.” We both dislike the mode of death to which we have been doomed. But notwithstanding, we are cheerfully and calmly awaiting our fate, and trust we shall meet it like men. 1 will frankly admit that on one or two occasions I have been agitated by the reception of touching letters from my wife and other relatives whose happiness is dearer to me than my life. The doom that awaits me has not in the least affec ted my appetite, nor has it occasioned any loss of rest. I sleep as calmly here ns I would in my boyhood home. I deem it my duty to my fellow prisoner and myself to do so. By giving this an insertion in your paper you will greatly oblige. Yours trulv, JOHN E. COOK. P. S.—l have just read in one of the newspapers published at this place au account of the farewell scene between Capt. Brown, Coppie and myself. To show the falsehood of these reports, I will state, just udiat passed at this fare well interview. Capt. Brown came in smiling and shook both Coppie and my self warmly by the hand. lie asked kindly after our health. He then said to me that he was sorry that I had made a statement that was not true, as I would only gain contempt by it. I asked Lira what. I said that was untrue. He told me that it was the statement which I had made “that he had sent me to the Fer ry.” I told him he most certainly did tell me to go there. Tie said he had no recollection of anything of the kind ; but that he remembered distinctly telling me not to go there. I replied that I had a good memory and had not the slightest re collection of anything of the kind. He remarked that he thought that my memory must be treacherous then ; but it would do no good to talk about that, but that if we had got to die, to meet our fate like men; that we had gone into a good cause, and not to deny it now. He then turned to Coppie and said that lie had heard that he had made some false statements, but was glad to learn that those statements were untrue. He theu asked if he could do anything for us. We answered in the negative. ID- gave Coppie 50 cents, remarking that as he owed C.’s brother S4O, which he did not know as would ever be paid, that a little change might do him some good. He then pressed our hands warmly and bade us a last farewell. There was no one present except Capt. Avis. Brown, Cop pic, and myself. Capt. Avis will, I think, vouch for the truth of this state ment, as will Mr. Coppie. Please give this a place in your paper, and oblige yours, truly, J. E. COOK. Depression of Arable Lands In Mis sissippi. The following notes of survey, by J. A. Porter, surveyor to the Levee Board of Mississippi, will show how necessary is levee protection for the back lands. Mr. Porter writes: I have just finished my survey from the Mississippi river to the base of the hills, nine miles east of this place, making seventy-five miles by the line which I run. I commenced my survey at Melrose Landing, in Bolivar county, a few miles south of Prentiss. Melrose Landing is at the plantation of Judge William Yerg er, opposite Island No. 76. The surface of the ground at the starting point is two feet below the flood line. Fall from Melrose to Bogue Phaliah is thirteen feet; at the town of McNutt, the county seat of Sunflower county, the lev el at the courthouse steps, (the observa tion beiDg taken on the steps, which is about three inches above the highest grounil,) I find is seveteen feet and sev en tenths below the flood line at Melrose. At Greenwood, the level is twenty feet below the line. The above points are situated on the highest and in the vicinity of the points given. An Interview with Gen. Lane. Dr. Nash, a citizen of Attala county, Miss., gives the following account of an interview with Gen. Lane : I had a personal interview with Gen. Lane yesterday. He is aware of the fact that he is spoken of for the Presidency, in various sections of the country. lie says he does not desire the high and re sponsible position, but would not decline it, should it be tendered to him. Beholds the doctrine that it is the duty of Congress to give protection alike to the property of every sect ion of the country in the Territories of the United States. lam much pleased with him. The old hero carries the marks of the soldier, a palsied arm from a can non’s ball of the enemy of his country, and carries, too, I may add, on his brow, the determined iron will of a Jackson.— He is the man for the crisis, and I hope the South will unite in his support.

BRYAN. Sudden Death.. A gentleman named Haddock, from Macon county, Ala., died suddenly at the residence of Mrs. Gibhart, near this place, on Saturday evening last. Though just out of a sick bed, he attended the sale at Gen. Flournoy’s plantation on Friday, where he was exposed to the cold aud rain, which proved too much for a constitution already weakened by dis ease. A relapse was the consequence, which proved fatal in a few hours. Though among strangers, he received every attention from the kind people, at whose house he died. His afflicted wife reached here on Sunday evening, and re turned home with the corpse on Monday. Eufaula Express Sew Patents.

We are approaching the end of the year under circumstances which, as regards commerce aud trade, may safely be pro- I nouuced comfortable, compared with the experience of the corresponding season last year and the year before Money is plenty and cheap, and though there is not so many opportunities for the profi table employment of it as could be de sired, yet there is no reason to doubt that the time is at hand when capital must meet a more active market. Many of the most important branches of commerce and industry still drag heavily along un der the embarrassments entailed by the revulsion two years ago, but these, in due time, will also be sloughed off A gradual, but substantial improvement in the shipping interest, wo think, may be put dowu as one of the inevitable cer tainties of the early future. There are many causes combining to produce that result, prominent among which is the fact that we have been building but compara tively few new vessels during the twelve months, either in our own yards here, or in those at the East, while the vast num ber of marine disasters, recorded in our columns, especially during the past two months, must, of necessity, largely sub tract from the aggregate tonnage of the country, and thus give shipowners the advantage of a supply no greater, or not much greater, than the legitimate com merce of the country is really in need of. We dare say two out of every three shipowners to-day will admit that in the course of the past ten years move vessels have been constructed on the spur of such spasmodic stimulants as those which were furnished by the California and guano trade, the emigration to Aus tralia, and the war between Russia and the Western powers These several events operated for awhile as absorbents of ton nage, and made money for its owners, but when California bad had its day, when guano ceased to bring good freights, when the gold excitement in Australia was exhausted, and peace between the European belligerents, drove scores and scores of vessels to seek new channels of employment, ships were about the poor est property a capitalist could iuvest his money in. Competition of the sharpest sort stared us in the face at every turn. English propelers, no longer required for war purposes in the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Baltic, cut us out on the Atlantic, while their steam fleet to Australia killed off whatever market re mained for us in that quarter. We also lost the bulk of the once lucrative emi grant trade, together with the richest proportion of freights from the Conti nent. After awhile, in the face of these hard facts, it was discovered that if we could not build iron vessels, as well as our trans-Atlantic rivals, the best thing we could do would be stop building wood en ones at home, aud time, we believe, has vindicated the wisdom of acting out that conviction. The market is still de pressed, but it does not groan under the licavy superabundance of tonnage under which it lias been almost hopelessly staggering for a series of years. The signs of improvement ar- multiplying.— Dozens of old worn out vessels have been struck from the rolls, and the sea has swallowed up its share. Despite the sharp competition of the English steamers, the coasting trade and the ports of the Pa cific still remain to us intact. Our new treaty arrangements with Japan must soon open up a rich commerce in that quarter, the advantages of which our merchantmen will be the first to reap.— Cotton freights meanwhile are doing well. The yield of the great Southern staple, it is admitted on all hands, will be quite equal to, if not materially in excess of, the immense crop of last season ; and, as there is every probability that it will all be required for consumption and all at home, suitable vessels to bring it to market will be, as they now are. in brisk demand. Here at the North, breadstutfs are beginning to move; and, if the judg ment of parties who are commonly con sidered as reliable in those matters can be depended upon, the coming spring will see that movement materially in creased, with an advance in freights as one of its primary consequences. On the whole, then, without seeking to put too favorable a face on things as they are, we think it a rational deduction from the foregoing recapitulation of’ acknowledged facts, that the prospects of our mercan tile marine are about io undergo a change, it may be, but nevertheless, a sure ad vance from positive depression to compar ative thrift.— N. Y. Shipving List. Augusta and Macon Rail Road. At a meeting of the City Council of Augusta, held on the 14th inst., Mr. Mil ler offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously passed : Whereas, the extention of Rail Roads now in progress, and recently chartered, may prove detrimental to the business in terest of the city unless some action is taken to counteract the supposed effects, therefore be it Resolved, That the City Council of Au gusta will co operate with any corpora tin or individuals in building a road connecting Macon with some convenient point on the Georgia Rail Road, or to build a road direct from this city to Macon.

It becomes our melancholy duty to re cord the sudden death of Tom Campbell, who was well known to the traveling pub lic as a driver on Adams’ omnibus line be tween this place and Chehaw. On Tues day night, at 10 o’clock, as he was re turning from the latter place, whither he had been to connect with the down train of cars, his horses became frightened, and in making a sudden turn in an angle of the street, the coach was upset, and he was thrown to the ground with such violence that he was fatally injured. At first he did not appear to be much hurt, though he complained of pain in his shoulder, which was subsequently discov ered to be fractured. He walked from the scene of the accident to his room, (a distance of over half a mile) whece he breathed his last early yesterday morn ing. There were several other persons in the coach at the time of the accident, none of whom, however, were seriously in jured. Tuskegee Republican, 22d. Acting Midshipmen Appointed.

TUe Spaniards would’t suffer them selves to be Humbugged by an Ac tress’s Tears. Iu Madrid tlie other day, Madame Grisi appeared in opera, and being unfavora bly received, she appealed to tbe Dous, ■ iu print. “I am accused,” tbe said, “‘of having failed in respect to the public. This accusation afflicts me so much that ] I wiil endeavor to prove the contrary. ; In my artistic career I have always had the happiness to appreciate and to fee! profoundly the kind receptions which 1 have obta ned in all the the it res in which I have sung. 1 therefore accepted, with pleasure, an engagement at the Theatre Royal at Madrid, being assured of being able to fulfil my engagement, and couti- j ting on the indulgence of the public. Under these circumstances 1 believed I should find, on my first appearance on the stage, the indulgence which the chival rous Spanish nation accords to all artists; but uiy surprise was great when, before having heard me, a small portion of the public manifested discontent during the first act. I frankly confess that these facts caused me pain, and that, without the protection of the rest of the public, I should not have been able to terminate tbe representation. “I therefore supplicate the public to accord me the grace of pardoning me for what I may have done in the situation in which I found myself. Far be from me the idea of reproaching the Madrid pub lic. whom I have alwavs appreciated, and if I had been permitted to speak, I should have said : ‘Gentlemen, listen to me with indulgence, and if after having sung 1 have not the happiness to please you, I will respect your decision, and will put an end to my engagement.’ I could not certainly have coutinued to sing before a public whose approbation I had not ob tained. Accomplishing a sacred duty, I lay this just manifesto before the public, feeling certain that it will appreciate it for what It is worth; and I promise to obtain from the public my justification. “Its servant, GIULIA GUISI.” After the publ cation of this manifesto, Madame Grisi appealed anew in Norma, but she encountered great opposition, and at length, bursting into tears, she left the stage.

Billy was an aged negro, who is reported to have carried the Courier throughout its entire exist ence, having learned his calling in its predecessor, the Gazette. From the kind consideration of the gentlemen of the Courier, Billy’s labors have been light for many years, never exceeding his own disposition. He was very popular among the subscribers to the Courier, and his Christmas gifts always exceeded those of any other carrier. Billy always wrote bis own addresses, which made up in honesty and truth for their lack of poetry. In religion Billy was an Israelite, attend ing for the entire day at the Synagogue during the day of Atonement, the solemn day of the Jewish year. On this occa sion he always dressed himself in his best, particularly displaying a ruffled shirt. Billy was a noted character in his pro fession. whose likeness lias been caught and perpetuated in a happy sketch by one of our amateur artists. Charleston Mercury. Bourcicault, in order to cater to the depraved tastes of the Northern aboli tionists, has prepared anew anti-slavery drama, shortly to be produced at the Winter Gardens, New York. The plot of the play, which is called “The Octoroon, or Life in Louisiana,” is briefly this: The “Octoroon” is said to be the name given to the “eigth blood” or child of a quadroon, and white, and in Bourcicault’s play the heroine is one of this class, who has been carefullj’ brought up, and has acquired all the accomplishments of a young lady of good social position. But the failure of her owner and father ren ders necessary the sale of his slaves, and the young Octoroon is purchased by a brutal overseer; to escape the fate which awaits her commits suicide. The Ilerald denounces Bourcicault’s play as an aboli iion affair, which must be condemned alongside of the sermons of Beecher and the novels of Mrs. Stowe. South Carolina Hon. F. H. Wardlaw has been elected Associate Justice of the Appeal Bench, the Hon. B. F. Dunkin, declined. Hon. J, A. Inglis was elected Chancel lor, to supply the vacancy thus created. J, B. Perry, Esq., has been elected (on the third ballot) Solicitor, for the South ern Circuit, vice Col. W. A. Owens, de ceased. The Joiut Committee of Conference be tween the two Houses, to whom was re ferred the disagreement of action, rela tive to the report of the Committee on Federal Relations, have decided in favor of the preamble of the Senate (Mr. Wag ner’s,) and the resolutions of the House (Mr. Memminger’s). The Negro Copeland, Copeland says he was born in Raleigh, N. C , and left there when he was eight years of age; and nephew of a free ne gro by the name of Henry Evane, of very respectable character, a cabinet-maker by trade, who resided near Hillsboro, N. C., until some four years ago, when he re moved to Ohio. By answering many questions relative to Raleigh and vicini ty, it was plain that he was well acquaint ed with the place. Guano. The Honolulu Advertiser, received by the Atlantic, says the Pacific Guano - ! Company, having received a perfect title to Johnson’s Islands from the United States government, are prosecuting the removal of guano with great vigor. They have built a wharf 500 feet long, with a railway on it, and are at work upon the large island, where there is said to be an unlimited supply of guano. < Tlie Hsvrper’s Ferry Affairs. We have, from time to lime, published telegraphic reports and articles from our exchange-, in relation to tlie Haipers Ferry foray, its conception, progress, murderous results, arrest ot many of the outlaws engaged in it, and their trial, and final execution on the gallows. Old John Brown, known as Ossawattomie Brown, the ringleader, was hung on Iri day the 2d inst.. and four of his accom plices, Shields Green and John Copeland, negroes, and John E. Cook and Edwin Coppic, whites, were hung on Friday the lfitfi inst. Two of the party, by tlie names of Stephens and Hazlett, are un der arrest, and will be tried next May. Those who are known to have been en gaged in this affair, and who made their | escape and have riot been arrested, are, F. J. Merriam, C. P. Tidd, Barclay Cop pic, Owen Brown, and a negro by the name of Anderson. It is generally ad mitted that Anderson, (the negro.) Mer riam. Tidd, and Coppic, whites succeeded iin effecting their escape to Canada; i while Owen Brown is believed to be some where in one of the northern States. We give a very brief description of those who were executed : Old Ossawattomie John Brown was born on the 9th of May, 1800, in the State of Connecticut. He was over six feet high, of slender form, and was exe cuted at Charlestown, Va., on the 2d of December, for murder, insurrection and j treason. John E. Cook was about thirty years old, and a native of Connecticut. He was about five feet eight, inches high, well educated, and respectably connected in family relations: had light hair and fair complexion, and was executed on the Kith of December. Edwin Coppic was born in Ohio, was about twenty-four years old, five feet nine inches high, and with a swarthy visage. He expiated his crimes on the gallows in company with his confederate, John E. Cook. Shields Green was a black negro, about twenty-two years old, and was born in j the State of New York. ( John Copeland was a mulatto negro, ; about twenty-two years old, and was hung at the same time with his accom plice Green, on tlie IGth of December. — Augusta Constitutionalist. -- ♦ Oldest Steamboat Known. The steamboat “Saratoga.” which was ’ cut through by the ice on Sunday, and j sunk, in the bay opposite New Ham : burgh, was probably the oldest steam -1 boat known in the Northern waters. She was built in 1825, by W. C. Redfield, of New York, to run to Hartford, Conn., and was then christened the “Oliver ; Elsworth.” It was the first effort in Mr. ! Redfield in steamboat building, and, at the same time, it was ccnsi lered a highly successful experiment. In 1837 she was transferred to the Hudson River, where she run for a long time as a passenger boat. About 1848 she changed hands, when she was re built, lengthened, and her name changed to “Saratoga.” From that date np to the present time of the disaster, she has been employed in tow ing river craft between Troy and New York. The Oliver Elsworth (or rather the Saratoga, as she is now known by that name,) belonged to Messrs. Gris fiths & Tellinghust, of Troy, and was valued at §15,000. For thirty-four years she has performed an immense amount of labor, and for upward of thirty years coined money for her owners. Soon after the ice struck the Saratoga, she commenced filling and went down stern foremost in about fifty feet of water. As she was sinking the hawsers attached to her tow were thrown off, and the Captain escaped in a small boat with the crew and passengers. He spend Sun day nighton Barren Island, and was taken off yesterday — Albany Journal. Tbe First Seclcel Pair Tree Still Growing, Frank Colliger writes to the P iladel phia Bulletin : About the year 1814, iu company with the late General Francis Gurney, I had the gratification of seeing the original Seckel pear tree, on the farm of Mr. Liwrence'Seckel, in the “Neck,” late Passyunk Township, a few miles south of the old limits of the city. The pear tree to which I desire to ask your attention, stooiLsome little distance from tlie eastern front of Mr, Seckel’s farm house. It had every appearance of vig orous maturity, was unusually large, and bore its luscious fruit abundantly. From this solitary pear tree buds had been ob tained by Gen. Gurney, with which he inoculated numerous congeneric trees at his country seat, Cherry Grove, on Ship pen's lane, below South street; all of which trees proved prolific in fruit, and it was principally through his well known liberality that, this kind of pear became disseminated, and now so gener ally known and desired, by the name he ; gave it, of Seckel pear. An Unexpected Present. Minister Yancey, on his return from South America, was made the bearer of a magnificent present from Gen. Urquiza. President of the Argentine Confedera tion, to the Hon. James P. Bowlin, of Missouri, who was for some time the guest of Gen. U. on his return from Par aguay, and evidently won his kind re gards. It consists of a massive gold snuff box, chased more exquisitely with carved ornaments than any jeweiry we ever before saw'. Around the rim of tlie top are set forty-two large brilliants (diamonds.) and upon raised (carved) initials of the recipient —J. B. B.—are set fifty-one smaller diamonds covering them entirely. The box bears several inscriptions. On the inside of the lid— En rccuerdo de amistad, yaprecio Justo Jose de Urquiza; over the initials before re ferred to, the words — Al cuidano Ameri cano James B. Bowlin. On one end 1o de Febrero. 1859; and on the other end the words San Jose 28, de Febrero. 1859. It is said to have been made in Rio de Jan eiro, and to have cost $5,000. — Washing ton States. Thirtan. Parsons Drowned and Missing. | The plantation boat of Mrs. Harriet Pinkney, of Pinkney Island, while com ing over to tlie city Monday night, came in contact with the steamboat Robert Habersham was upset, and thirteen ! persons drowned. We learn the boat con i tained eighteen in all. The names of the lost and missing are: Mr. Munningham, overseer for Mrs. Pinkey, his uegro man Moses, Thomas, the property of Mrs. Heyward, Cooper, Robert, Moses Salo mon, Thomas, Edward, Solomon, Johnny, Sue and Phcebie, the property of Mrs. i Pinkney. We learn further that at the | time of the accident the Robert Haber j slirm had a red light forward, had a red light forward, and a watch set. — Savan j noli Republican, 21 si. ♦ Return of a Captive Matthew Brayton, a man who for 35 years has been an Indian captive, lias re j cently returned to the house of his friends | near Tiffin, Ohio. He married the daugh ! ter of the Grand Chief, seven years ago. He has two children, son and daughter. His daughter’s name is Tefrona, (Tame | Deer,) and is five years old. His sou’s name is Tulloosa, two years o'd last June. His own name is Owahowali Kisbmewab. When he arrived at Chicago, he was dressed in Indian costume, daubed and painted, his hair hanging down to his knees. While in the hospital they cut off his hair and scrubbed him with sand, soap and water, until all vestige of paint was removed. He ate meat raw, but will not eat food containing salt. Heavy Cotton Transaction. The heaviest cotton transaction on record in this market transpired yester day, in the sale of a list of two thousand bales, involving the exchange of over §100,090 in money. The sale was made by Messrs. Jones. Brown & Cos., while the purchasers were Messrs. Tabor & Kim ball, extensive dealers for northern ac count. Operations of such magnitude as the above afford the best evidence that could be adduced of the important posi tion of Memphis among the leading cot ton marts of the country. — Memphis Bul letin, loth.

His Honor the Mayor submitted tlie foliowing communication: Gentlemen of Council: Since our last meeting I have as far as practicable and tlie time allowed me, examined into a portion of the affairs of the oily. 1 find that the Plank Road running from the Wharf is in a bad condition, and if not repaired soon, will be rendered impassable by a long rainy season. I have called upon tlie charterees, who promise to put said road in good repair. This road, it is true, may not be of much profit to tlie parties, as they state that not more than ten thousand bales of cotton pass over it. Tlie charter allows them to charge two cents on eacli bale and one cent on all bar rel measurement; they do not collect on bar rels, as it would cost as much as the amount to collect it. 1 would suggest that the Committee on Contracts be instaueted to confer with the party, and adopt such measures as may be just and fair on both sides. My reason for this is that the road has reverted to the city by failure of compliance with tlie charter. This, however, I think, will he of no great benefit to tlie city; should she claim it, I would ask the Committee whose duty it is to investigate this matter, to report at an earlv day. 1 find, also, a law of the. city Ordinance lias been entirely neglected in regard to the weigh ing of cotton. The Ordinance requires that all weighers shall subscribe an oath before tlie Mayor, or other person empowered to adminis ter an oath, which oath snail be filed in the. Clerk’s office. This has not been done, as lam informed, and I hope you will give your atten tion to it. I would also call your attention to tlie cross ings of tlie Rail Road tracks, as there has been much complaint in regard to them. Also to the fact that since tlie completion of tlie laws relating to tlie city, and the by-laws and Ordinances of Council, there have been many laws and Ordinances passed which are scattered over the minutes from 1848 to tlie present time. In my opinion, the compilation now in use should be revised and codified, and I would respectfully suggest to the Board the propriety of employing some competent person to do the work. I also call your attention to the duties of tlie Sexton, so that he may receive proper instruc tions as regards his duty. Tlie resting-place of tlie dead should be properly eared for. Your attention is called to the Guard House it is not only in bad condition, but is decidedly a disgrace to our city. I would therefore sug gest that tlie Police Committee examine into the matter as soon as possible, and I hope they will submit some plan for tlie sustenance of those who may be confined there. Tlie State provides for all persons who are deprived of their liberty, but we have no claim on the State or county, unless those persons are sent to jar! ! under an Act of 1845 and 1848. W. S. HOLSTEAD, Mayor. Alderman Quin moved that tlie communica tion of tlie Mayor be received and entered on the journal, and the subjects therein referred to he referred to the appropriate Committees. Which was agreed to. By Alderman Croft: liesolved, .That there be.no bids taken for lighting tlie City Lamps, furnishing lumber for the city, and feeding the corporation mules and hands, until publication is made in the city pa pers, and hand-bills posted throughout the city. Adopted. By Alderman King: liesolved, That the Finance Committee be em powered to borrow such sum of money as they may need to pay tlie interest on the city bonds. Adopted. | By Alderman Quin: | Resolved, That tlie rules of government of the Police during tlie past municipal year, be in j force until such time as tlie Police Committee j are prepared to report rules and regulations to govern tlie same. Adopted. _ By Alderman King: j liesolved, That the Police Committee employ j eight extra hands as Policemen for two weeks, commencing on Saturday next. Adopted. By Alderman Quin: Resolved, That a Committee of three be ap pointed by His Honor the Mayor, to submit to Council, at its next regular meeting, an Ordi nance regulating the number of bales of cotton, | barrels and boxes that shall constitute a dray- I load. Adopted. Whereupon His Honor the Mayor appointed i Aldermen Quin, King and Salisbury as that Committee. On motion, Paschall and Harry were granted i the privilege of giving a ball on Monday and Saturday evenings of next week. On motion of Alderman Ligon, Council pro ! seeded to elect Health Officers for the several Wards. The votes being received and examin ed. it appeared that F. G. Wilkins and J. J.
