The Enquirer, under the management ol Maj, Cal houn, has certainly made more substantial char acter within the limited period of twelve mouths than any enterprise ol its character that we wot of. BAKQUETT AND BALL. Doubtless when Cleopatra, with her retinue vis ited the tents ol the wise man, of antiquity, royal preperations were made for her reception. Our minds tre lull of instances iu both ancient and modern times, where grand and munificent enter tainments were prepared for the reception or ryal guests, such whereof poets rhymed in verse, mu sicians sung in laudation and statesmen spoke with eloquence; but it we may be pardoned, none, 30 could have surpassed tint banquet rft, House on Tuesday night. Presided over and directed by the cha.micg beauties ot that famed city, all that taste could desire or appetite crave, was furnished in ptoluse abundance. Though not ol that class, who engage in ball r ooat pleasures —yet I was assured that the ball room entertain ment was a success. In this connection we desire to state that tbe hospitality ancj kiudness of both ladies and gen tlemen in Columbus cannot be surpassed by any city In the Stale. The beauty and loveliness ol her young ladies is perfectly bewildering; in none however, did we find all tbe elements of true wo manhood blended more charmingly thau in Miss Benuing, the daughter cf Judge Benuing, a patriot gantlcmin that the people ol Georgia delight to love and honor. THE QUEEN OF SONG. WV would be nngallant 11 we were to fail to men tion that beautiful and accomplished young lady, who enraptured the ears of many, and who seems to take such great interest in the aggran diz.mmt std suceti-s of the Georgia Press. We allude to the daughter of our lriend Carey W. Styles, ol the Aloany News. COLUMBUS THE LOWELL OF THE SOUTH. The citizens i I Columbus determined that ihe beauties and industries of their fair ei‘y should be seen, therefore provided elegint tu nouts an Ia eommi.tee to accompany us to tbe manufactories. Tbe Eagle & PtceTx. tbar spiend and and mag n tlcent structure with a'i the modern improve ments and facilities, runs about thir y thousand ep nd es and mnn ; aciures sheeting, shirti-ig, oi nabu'gs. checks, Juans, cassimeres, and is the rigins ors and sola manufacturers ol tbe well kn *ii cotton blankets. The Steam Factory, owned by A Cleitg & Cos., n engaged in the maruTetur • ot shewing, shirt icg, plaids, threads, e'c. Tuts tuiil runs over 1 000 spindles. COLUMBUS MILLS, located about three miles above the city, are situ ated on oue of the most beautiful and romantic sites of the Chattahoochee river. At a cost cf 12,000, the Company threw a dam across a natural canal, cut, by natural causes, through solid gran ite rock, which affords water power sufficient to run one hundred thousand spindles. The r.ver at this point is about one mile wide, dotted with beautilul islands. From these mills down to the citt, the scenery is grand and magnificent. We regret that we have not space to refer more particularly to other factories of quite as much importance. It is a uotablc fact that Columbus runs half of the spindles in the State. Colhinbus unquestionably possesses a water power inferior to none iu the Sou‘h, by reason of which it ia destined to become one ot ihe largest manu acturiog towns in the United States. Her citizens have been aroused to a full sense of the advantages possessed, invested large sums of money in the development of her natural resources. Lovtr’s Leap is one mile above the city, from which projects a rock tremendous in proportions; frem its cuter edge to the water, is a dTtance of 125 Icet. The ecenery at this point is beyond the description ot language, and mast be seen to be realized. Daring oar stiy in the city, we met several members ot the Press of the State, with whom we had a pleasant time. The hospitality and kindness of the citizens of Columbus, will be remembered by the'Georgii Press, as the years flicker by with their vicissi tudes aud changes. Ma.

R. Wright has written an other let'er to the press on the nutter o! a Cor stitntionai Convention. It is published in the Augusta Chronicle sed Sentinel, and is a reif firm.tion 1 1 the principles he put forth in bis f rtmer letter. Tbe Chronicle * Sentinel thus endorses it: “The admirable letter of Judge Angus'us R, Wright, which we published y-stei-dav morning on tb- sabject of a cons’ifu\ional c mven'l on. pre sents one phase o' the question which is worthy cateiul consideration.

Tbi-d, bow much less appropriation will be re quired lor the postal service by reason of the ab olition-ol said privilege. The Extraordinary Naval Appropriation Passi and by the House.— Tha House ot Represen taiives, alter ,some debate in Committee of the Whole, yesterday passed the bill appropriating four million dollars tor immediately strengthen ing the navy. 11 the navy is to be properly strength ened much more than this will be required; but s it covers tbe amount a-ked for by Secretary Robeson, we msy presume that it will be sufficient to put what vessels we at piesent possess into a condition of seaworthiness and arm and man them. Iu spite o' all tbe protests of the Republican mem bers this does not look very pacific. The unfor tunate Mr. Cox, who called the House pusillani mous aud said that Nw York was at the mercy ol any powclul foreign fleet, was raked lore and aft by the administration guns. Generals of tne late war accused him of hounding people irom the paths ol peace, and other’Taembers declared New York impregnable. It w*o a mistake on his part * -- l >h. *r,'ept in one sense; forsooth, to say, rbc majority would be a unit lor the most aggressive war measures it the a,lministration held op its little finger. They are not aliaid ol Mr. Cox, however, a-d they decided, in a series of speeches, that the President was to be aJinired lor his poncy leadiug to peac-aud sat isfaction aud Mr. Cox to be bended lor what he had dared to say or not to say on war. The four millions ot dcllars may pnt the administration in a position to ordera judicious change of tunc, and it ihe trumpet blast kind of music be demanded we shall have all the republican brass iQ the House practicing bugle cahs.- 2V. Y Herald. The Automatic Telegraph —The art of teleg raphy has been wonderlul'y improved of late by a notable system called the automatic. In the repet of Fostmaster General (Jreswell, this method was nighly lauded. He was severely taken to task for effieial praise and determined to probe the matter rigorously. It was arranged that the Pres ident’s ; message should be the test.

Prof. Agassiz Dead —Prot. Agassiz, the great : philosopher, died on the 14. h. His last hours were apparently passed in unconsciousness. At 2, p. m., on Suuday, he attack similar to the one experienced before a suspension ot respi ration, which continued half a minute, accompa nied by other indications ot approaching disrolu tion. Thtse were succeeded by unnaturally rap id breathing, that continued to grow taiater with , departing vigor. The patieiirfay upon his side, and beyond aa occatiooal convulsive raovemeut ot his limbs, there were no signs that he suffered pain, and finally was scarcely perceptible. The Best Bale of Cotton in the Wofld.— j The prize for the best bale of cotton at the Vienna Exposition was awarded to Mr. Greenwood and Mr. McCall, of New Orleans, on a bale raised in Mississippi. We are pleased to give the following details ot its history from the Mississippi Central, at Water Valley : In IS7L, Henry Broom, a farmer living three miles east of Ccfieeville, in Yalobusha county, Miss., raised and sold a bale ot cotton at L. R. Williamson s to Bryant & Herron, of Coffeeville, for 18% cents per poned. This firm attracted bv its superior quality, marked the bale “ Beany, f ’ and shipped it lo Stewart Brothers & Cos., New Orleans. These merchants put it on Exhibition at 'he State Fair of Louisian* and won the first prize, $254, and diploma, as the best specimeu ot short ft was there sold to Mr. Greenwood aud Mr. McCall for 25 cents a pound These en terprising gentlemen, appreciating the extraordi nary quality of toeir purchase, hai it flaeiy fitted up, with .silver plated hoops and duck bagging, ami ®eut it to ihe Expedition at Vienna, where it received the first pr.ze. Commutation of the Sentsscs of Marshal Bazins. With a soldier’s promptness and a sol dlei’s generosity also, President Mac Mahon has discharged the difficult task which devolved upon him la the matter of the Bazaine sentence. The death penally has been commuted to twenty yeas’ seclusion; and although degradation will take tSect,the disgraced General wiU be spared the humiliating ceremony. Blaine's life is spared, but his name is dishonored; and whatever will be the result of the present political uncertainty —whether the Republic is definitely estab lished or the Monarchy restored or the Bonspartes recalled—be is little likely to make any figure again in the affairs oi France.
