IVEY DUGGAN,
Villainous.--We \Veie informed by a
passenger, that on Friday night last, the
Georgia Railroad cars were shot dt, some
where below Double Wells, the contents of
the gtin of pistol parsing through a window
immediately in front of a lady passenger,
shattering the glass in her face* The pas
Bengal's heard two distinct reports, which
they supposed to come from the discharge
of a pistol. It is a miracle that no person
was injured-, "ris tue cats were very much
crowded at the time; We did not suppose
there was, within the limits t>f Georgia, a
being so utterly base as to wantonly jeop
ardize the lives of persons, not orie of whom
was probably known to him, or could have
done hiffian injury, if that chap could be
caught, an application of pitch and fire
would be peculiarly applicable to his case.
His exit from this world, should be made in
a blaze of glory \—Griffin Union.

The Weather.
We have still a continuance of the disa
greeable weather of which we have had
such an abundance for the past month.—
Tuesday last was a wretched day, and Thurs
day and- Friday was not far behind it. The
rains have been heavy and continued, and
the earth is completely saturated with water.
The roads are iu a miserable condition for
travelling, and unless we are blessed with a
long ‘spell’ of dry weather, it wjll be diffi
cult for wagons ladened with produce to
approach the depots., Some of the planters
of this county, have been cut off from the
depots, by reason the loss of Sheppard’s
Bridge from Buffalo, and the Double Bridge
from Williamson’s Swamp. The first we
believe was not under contract, the lattes
will be repaired as soon as the contractor
b«r; we have understood that it is rather
we have every confidence that the contrac
tor will give this- matter hie usual prompt
attention.
Congress.—This body assembled on the
Gth inst., nothing of importance has yet
been done. The President’s Message was
ead, and is published in most of the papers.
It is an able document, but of great length,
which precludes us from publishing it at
nt. We see a statement in some of
the papers that Mr. Stephens, of this State,
moved to suspend the further reading of it,
after it was half finished. This was not
rery complimentary to the President, or his
Message.
New Machine Siiop for the State
Road.—Operations have just commenced in
Atlanta for the erection of a very extensive
Machine shop for the State Road. In
speaking of it the Intelligencer says:
“The main body of the building will be of
a circular form, two hundred and fifty feet
in diameter. On one side is to project a
wing sixiy feet in width by two hundred
feet in lehglb, and on another side a second
wing fifty feet wide by sixty feet long Con
nected with the establishment will be other
buildings of less dimensions fur various
kinds of work. The foundation walls of the
building are going up with heavy stone
work, on the lower side to be carried to'a,
height of twenty six feet. Above the
foundation the walls are to be built with
brick. The contract for the mason work,
we understand, is held by Messrs Loyd and
McCullough, and their portion of the work
is expected to be completed about the first
of June next. This Machine Shop, when
completed; will be one of the most exten
sive establishments of the kind in the coun
try, and a view of it in operation would
suggest ft very fair idea of the vast worth
and importance to our State of this great
public work—rthe Western and Atlantic
Railroad.”
On a Strike.—The Lawyers of Cleave-
land, Ohio, are on a strike for higher fees.
The people thereabouts have determined not
to go to law if they are raised. The price
of hentp will probably be the only thing af
fected by this state of feeling.
The Memphis (Tenn.) Papers an-
announce the death of the Hon. John W.
Crockett, formerly Representative in Con
gress, and son of the Hon. David Crockett.
Dividend—The Boardof Directors Bank
of Savannah have declared a Dividend of
four per cent, on the operations of the past
six months, payable on demand;
Temperance Dinner.
We had the pleasure of attending the
Temperance Dinner given by Sand Hill
Division and the friends of Temperance ?
near Bay Spring Church, on Saturday last,
and were well pfej^ed with the entertain
ments of febe occasion. The dinner was well
prepared, and amply spread, and we all did
full justice to its merits.
The speakers were Maj. B. S. Carswell of
Jefferson, and that old war horse of Temper
ance^ the Rev. D. P. Jones, better known as
| “Uncle Dabney.” The first gentleman led
off in a very handsome address, replete with
the soundest reason and logic. We had
never heard the Major before on this subject,
and were much pleased with his effort. The
friends of the cause have in him an able
and efficient advocate,. “Uncle Dabney,^
was next introduced to the company, and with
his fund of humor and argument, which are
always at hand, did good work for his cause
we seed say nothiug more of him as he
will be here on Thursday next, and our
readers iu this vicinity can have an, oppor
tunity of hearing for themselves, we can as
sure them that it will be a treat, which
they should not willingly miss.
While upon the subject of Temperance
we will take occasion to offer some sugges
tions upon the movement which is being
made in different parts of this State to ob
tain what is called “Legislation ctptm the
subject.” Sa* far as we can apprehend the
question, those who oppose it, have become
more alarmed by the name’of the thing,
than they possibly could be at the accona
plishment of the purpose. If we understand
the question at all, it is that the next Leg
islature shall be petitioned to make the
right of granting licenses foe the retail, of
Spirituous Liquors, dependent upon .the
wiUof a majority of the people (legalwoters)
who composuffei district or county whetf
it is proposed to be vended. It does not
aim at the suppression sf th® Liquor traffic,
further than this object can be accomplished
by the will of a majority of those among
whom it may be propose to vend it.—
Understanding this to he the proposition?
we consider it tuba a just and equitable one,
entirely tenable, and in the fullest sense a
republican oae. If the majority of the peo
ple wish Liquor retailed in, their commu
nity, they caD always have it, if they do- not
wish to have it, they can always prevent it
who should have the privilege of determin
ing a question of this sort, save those who are
to be affeeted by it.
We can conceive of no reasonable objec
tion that can be offered to this plan, it is fair
for the dealer, the consumer, and the com
munity; all can have a voice in it; then
howsoever it he determined, no one can
complain ; the rule of the majority is the
rightful rule in our country. Some of the
opponents of the measure, we notice, are
disposed to argue the question*, as if it was
proposed So legislate upon what men should
drink—a disposition to make a legal enact
ment of a moral pursuasion. This is not so,
men have a right to drink and eat what they
please, and for all time and efcernity to come?
if they can hold out, but they have not the
right to sell what they please, m contraven
tion of the rights of the people, else tile last
Legislature, and the people who backed it,
grossly invaded the rights of private proper-
tv when they put a stop to the negro traffic.
But this proposition is more liberal, it does
not seek to drive out auy trade from any
community thatjnay desire to retain it.—
The people are capable of judging whether
the traffic is productive of good or harm,
and Whether its existence affords the facilities
ofcomforls and pleasure which cannot be
dispensed with, and thus viewing the ques
tion ihey can wisely determine one way or
the other.
Rather Particalar.
We heard an anecdote some time since
of an- old chap; who had spent a large por
tion of his life in the sinful’ ways of this
world, but finally concluded to mend! his
morals by joining the Church. Accordi ngly
he made known his intentions, to Parson
B., the officiating clergyman of a neighbor-
•«g Baptist church, and after fully satisfy
ing the Parson and members of his fitness
for admission into the church, he was taken
down into the water to be baptised. I® so
happened that that part of the stream
where they had entered fand str pped* was
alittle muddy, whilst a little lower down it
looked much dearer, and better, 1 the appli
cant eyeing things pretty closely, turned to
the Parson, and nodded his head in the di
rection where he wished to be carried, said
to him. “Brother B. let’s move lower down,
it looks alittle too damn snakey about
here.”
Oysters and Cholera Morbus?—;The
Columbus Times of the 7th inst., says:—
“There have been a number of cases of chol
era in this city and on the river, every one
of which (as we learn from several of our
largest medical practitioners) can he traced
to eating oysters. These luxurious bivalves
should be dispensed with for. the present, as
the late storm, or some other cause has ren
dered them an unhealty diet.
We hear that is rumored in the country
that the Asiatic Cholera exists here. It is
the oyster cholera only. Let them alone
and you will have no qualms* The gener
al health, of thse- city was never better.
Old Fashioned Coat-ojc-Arms..—-The
Boston Chronicle states that a committee
having in charge-, the building of a carriage
for Gen. Pierce, wrote to him to ascertain
^h'at ^as his family coat-of-arms^ probably
with a view of painting it on the panels o*
the coach. The general replied that the on
ly coat of arms which he knew his family
ever possessed, was that ©f his father sshiit
slesves,,in which he fought at the battle of
Bunker Hill. The carriage is building at
Pittsfield, Mass., and will cost $-15000.
Hon. W. R. King.—The Baltimore Sun
of the 6th instant says : “This gentleman,
the Vice President elect, and present Presi
dent of the United States Senate? arrived in
this city yesterday morning by the steamer;
North Carolina from Norfolk. Mr. King,
we are glad to say, is not iu such a state of
ill health as the late reports faorn the South
led the public to believe. He looks quite
as well as usual, his only ailment at present
being a cough, which is some annoyance to
him. Mr. K. has in company with him his
uiece, Miss King. He proceeded to Wash
ington in the 4 o’clock train last evening,
having put up at the City Hotel during his
stay Here.”
He did his Work.—The Whig who ob
liged himself to saw a half cord" of wood if
Gen. Pierce was elected President, perform
ed the task on the 1st inst., in Arch St.
Philadelphia before a large crowd of spec
tators.
The Pictorial Brother Jonathan.—
We have this large and handsome Pictori
al for Christmas and New Year’s day 1853.
It is the best one we have seen for a num
ber of years, and is richly worth the price,
which is 12 and a halfeetjta per Humber
or ten for $1. Address B. H. Day, 48 Beek-
man st. New York.
The Caloric Ship.—The N. Y. Journal
of Commerce states that the wheel of the
caloric ship, building by Mr. Ericeson, pen-
formed its first revolution on the 294hunst.
the motive of power being more than the
expansive force of compressed air, unheated.
No fire was used in this instance, the elastic
ity of the natural atmosphere being sufficient
for the desired purpose..
$3T The Democratic ticket for Mayor
and Aldermen of the city of Savannah has
beeu elected by large majorities. The life-
publican says that there was- “a religious el
ement infused into the canvass which exer
cised a controlling influence upon the re
sult,” whereby the Republican, with the
‘Citizens Ticket,’ fell into the “hands of the
Philistines.” That is hard luek when there
is s uch a convenient armory for fighting that
tribe.
Mrs. Caroline Lee FIentz, a resident'at
Columbus, Ga., has won the prize of $300*
offered by Ossian Dodge, Esq., editor of the
Boston Literary Museum, for the best A-
merican story. It is entitled “Neglecting a
Fee, or the Young Physician’s Fortun
and is said to be a most exquisite romance.
Something of a Tumor.—The Spring-
field (Mass.) Republican asserts that a tu
raor, weighing 112 pounds, was taken af.
ter death, from the body of Hannah White,
of Gill, on the 22d ult., The tumor weigh
ed 18 1-2 pounds; the balance being water?
on being emptied out, filled a common sized
wash tub. It had been in existence for
eleven years.
To Editors.—A journeyman printer
named Joseph Stevens, of Fort Wayne,
Iiid,, left home in 1844, and was last heard
of in 1847. His parents are in great dis
tress on his account,-and will be thankful
to any one who will give them any . infor
mation of him. Address M. D. Stevens,
Fort Wayne Ina.,Editors everywhere please

The Late Accident on the S. C. Rail
road.—Speaking of the recent fatal accident
that occurred on the Camden Branch ©£ the
South Carolina Railroad, the Darlington
Flag says that the Conductor, Mr. Soaut-
liug, received severe internal injuries, but
refused assistance from those proffering it,
telling them to let him alone and attend to
the passengers. Mr. Sloan, an. officer on
the cars, was severely injured. So. soon as
he recovered from the stunningeffects of the
tall, with his face all bleeaing, returned
manfully to his duty; and his assistance
was of great benefit to the wounded,, and
afterwards to the passengers. Several oth
er persons connected with the Railroad, ren
dered material assistance to the sufferers.
A gentleman, by the name of Fallen^ w as
observed, with great presence of nririd,. im-
media'.ely after the accident occurred, giving
all neacssary directions for receiving the
dead and wounded from the wreck of the
broken cars, and nobly working himself for
the preservation of the lives and property
of others.
A most thrilling scene occurred immedi
ately after the breakdown; a child’s voice
was heard calling from the bottom of the
cars, which had fallen in, Pa ! Pa! It was
covered up with broken plank and the trunks
of sixty or seventy passengers. It was the
child of the Rev. Mr. Pringle, an Episcopal
clergyman, who, in great a^ony, was wring
ing his hands, exclaiming “my poor baby !’
and supplicating the Almighty to save his
child—and his supplications were heard,
for, after a half hour’s hard work, his baby
was miraculously saved, with scarcely a
scratch upon it; Mr. Muldrow, who was al
so in the same car, escaped uninjured, and
Mr. Henry B. DeLorne only had his leg a
little bruised.

A Counterfeit!.—W» notified, a few days,
isnee, that there were counterfeit Bills oF
the South. Western Railroad Bank in circu
lation.. Yesterday we were shown one fon-
$20, which, although calculated, to deceive
lhose who have never seen the issues of this
bank, is by no means-an imitation of the-
origiaal? as it can easily he detected.from its
having oa the left hand a large vignette of.
Washuig.t©%. and; in the centre one re]>re-
senting CeRss sitting on at plough, with at
sheaf of. corn ©n, her lap. It also contains,
two dates, viz : “The South Westenv Rail
road Bank promises l© pay Twenty dollars,
to the Bearer at Charleston, S. C-Nov-
1847. Charleston, S. C., 1st Dec., 1842.’”
Between the signatures, S. G. Holmes, Cash
ier, and James Rose, President, is a. ship ;;
in the original it is a railroad car. The en
gravers names in the counterfeit are printed:
Toppan, Carpenter & Co., Philadelphia, in.
the original they are' Draper, Toppan, Long-
acre & Co., Philadelpia and New-York.
The original has only four small vignettes,
entirely different from those on the counter
feit, and Inis also a border at top and bot
tom with the words twenty dollars repeat
ed twelve times on each, which the counter
feit has not. There are also many other
points of dissimilarity between the counter
feit and genuine, which however, it is, we
conceive, unnecessary to’particularize, as
we have said enough to out the public on.

A gentleman seeing some cows in afield
grazing, said he did riot wonder “that the
grass did not get high, as it was cow'd down.
Again, seeing a cellar nearly finished,, he
remarked, “it was an excellent foundation
for a story.”

Piobida,—We extract the following ■piuiat,
gr^h fiom the message of Gov. Brown, to.
the-Florida Legislature now in session I
“In obedience to the provisions of an. act
of! the late Geuernl Assembly, which ejukIo
it aay duty to .-uch steps as I might
deem necessary and proper for the speedv
settlemeut of the long pending questioa of
vtos-puted territory between this State and
the State of Georgia, which had been refer-
aed to the Supreme Court of the United
States for adjudication. I sent David P.
Hogue, Esq., Attorney General of Florida,
to the City of Washington, upon that sub
ject, with authority to employ, on behalf of
this State, suph assistant counsel as be might
consider, necessary. I am informed by Mr.
Hogue that he engaged the Hon. Reverdy
Johnson of Baltimore; to whom a retaining
fee lias been paid, and that the case will
come on for hearing at the next term of the
Supreme Court. . The Attorney General’s
Report will be found more full upon this
subject, to which I beg to refer the General
Assembly.” " ,
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad.—Messrs
Screven and Roberts; (directors) went in
to the streets for a few hours yesterday, be
ginning at-midday, for-the purpose of col
lecting suhscriptioris for the road hence to
Pensacola via Albany. Every one to whom
application was made - subscribed with one
or two exceptions. This circumstance we
regard as expressive of a resolute determina
tion to carry the work through. The re
sult of their labors, which wili be resumed
this 'morningj is, that the sum of one hun
dred and two thousand dollars was put
down.' Verily, old Savannah goes ahead
of al! other places we ever read of, for taking
Railroad stock.
It is stated that some citizens of Liberty
remarked at the Ihte celebration that that
county would put down at least $100,000,
rind a wealthy geritleinan; residing on the
route has, we are assured, signified his in
tention, of subscribing $20,000. All the
present indications seem to be favorable.
