these large land overshadowing majorities arc
objectionable. Party strength should be more
equally diffused and distributed. This dis
tribution will create a wholesome responsi
bility, and a more natural relation between
the representative and his constituents. It
will make the former feel that he is but the
agent and the servant of the latter—not their
dictator and master.
Tub Telegraph.— ln reference to the in
crease of rates for newspapers, the Atßuta In
telligencer says: •* We are sorry for the move
very!— for we shall have to cut short our ac
qaintanoe with our invisible interlocutor after
the 15th inst., and suffer his voice uo more to
bo heard in our sanctum. He would soon eat
out all our living were we to continue to en
tertain him, and minister to his increased vo
racity. We hope the press will band together
to resist his inordinate demand upon us."
Hog* ! Hogs !! —The Ringgold Republican
ot the Oth inst., says : “On Thursday last a
large drove of Hogs, the first this season, pass
ed through our town, en route for the Charles
ton market."
Post Oppice Robbed.— The Savannah Re
publican of the Bth inst., says : “ A negro boy,
named Sam, was arrested on Friday last for
robbing some of the key boxes of the post
office. This u not the first time he has been
guilty of this crime, as he acknowledges that
he had succeeded heretofore in obtaining $26
from a letter which he had purloined. A
large number of letters, address ed to various
individuals, and the half of a hundred dollar
bill were found in a oellor where he usually
works, whioh he also confessed he had taken
from the four different boxes which his key
fitted. The boy has been committed to jail."
Oov. Bull op Texas.—This gentleman (say
the N. O. Creseent,) has been said to be a
whig in politics. It is a mistake. In his ad
dress, when a candidate, he avowed himself a
democrat. But there appear not to have been
any party lines drawn in the Texas election,
>Y\l the whig* are believed to have voted very
for Col. Bell. lie is a Virginian by
and brother-in-law of Governor Smith,
V Extra Billy," as the political press used to
Fcall him.

Mammoth Squash.— The Macon Journal A
Messenger says : “ Most of our readers will
remember the celebrated Mammoth Squash
which we last year received from a friend in
Savannah. The seed from which it was grewn
was brought several years since by Lieut.
Anderson of the Navy, from the shores of the
Mediterranean. Its wonderful size and great
delicacy of flavor a* a table vegetable, induced
us to distribute the seed very extensively
among our agricultural and horticultural
friends. The late severe irost in April des
troyed nearly all tho vines, and we had al
most despaired of saving even the seed. The
following note, however, from our friend, Mr.
Walker, shows that he has succeeded in pro
dueing tho squash in its greatest perfection.
We will keep the specimen sent us by Mr.
W., in our office for exhibition, until the
month of November. In the meantime, if
any others have succeeded in their efforts, we
would bo glad they would send us specimens,
together with a description of the mode of
culture, and the quantity and management of
the soil in which they are grown. Our plant
ing friends generally, will be furnished with
the seed upon calling at this office.”
LoNosTitnET, Pulaski County, )
Sept. 25th, 1849. J
Messrs. Chapman Hose :—l send you by tho
boy, a squash raised from the seed you gave
me last year. It weighed when fully grown,
1054 lbs. It has dried a little since it was
pulled—you had better weigh it again, as I
think it will weigh about 100 pounds, though
it has been off the vine nearly five weeks.
From the seed you gave me I saved only
two vines. From these vines we used the
young squashes for our table every day for
four or five weeks before we left the Bprings,
which was on the 24th of July. We return
ed on the 19th of September and found the
vines bearing finely. We have had young
squashes for dinner every day since, and have
besides, so me twelve or fifteen matured squashes
nearly as large as the one I send you. It is
beyond all question, one of the most delicious
and prolific vegetables I havo ever seen.
Respectfully yours,

Ghkav Invention —lmproved Piano. —-A Mr.
Alexander Bobaiu, of Paris, says the Journal
des Debats, has recently made an improvement
on the piano, which will create quite a revolu
tion in the musical world. It attracted great
attention at the recent exhibition of manufac
tures in Paris. It is a mechanical apparatus,
capable of being applied to all ’pianos, and by
means of which every kind of piece can be ex
ecuted Quadrilles, polkas, waltzes, &0.,
spring as if by enchantment from this combi
nation, under fingers the least practised, and
the most unacquainted with the instrument.
If one wishes to give a soiree or a country
party, there is no need of looking about for
performers; each member of the company can
furnish his contingent of harmony, and pass
in turn from dancing to music.
Frost. —We are informed by a passengor
who arrived in the cars yesterday, that there
was distinct appearances of frost in the neigh
borhood of Columbia, and for ten miles below.
Char. Mer. oth.
Wool Raisixq —Wool raising in Illinois is
drawing considerable attention. In Peoria
county, the number of sheep is said to be
30,000, of which the venerable Bishop Chase
owns a flock of 2000.
Costly House. —We learn from the Albany
Atlas, that M. McArdcl, of that place, sold his
famous trotting horse Mae, to a gentleman in
Philadelphia, for $4,000.
Alabama Enterprise. —We learn, says the
State Guard, that a gentleman or the lower
part of tjte Alabama river is now constructing,
and will soon have in operation a floating saw
mill, to be propelled by steam, so as to travel
to any point on the river and deliver orijprs
for lumber. TUw, no doubt, will proye a pro
fitable investment.
South Carolina Institute. —We are in
structed to state that, at a regular meeting of
the Board of Directors of the South Carolina
Institute, held on Friday evening, sth inst.,
it was
Resolved, That the time of holding the first
Annual Fair of the Institute be postponed un
til the third week in November, and that the
Fair be opened and the address by Jag. H.
Hammond, Esq., be delivered on Tuesday
ijight, 20th November.
We tio informed, (says the Charleston Bee
tling News,) that s pumber of letters have been
received by the Institute i. guj persons engaged
in mechanical and manufacturing pursuits,
intimating their intention to be present at the
Fair with model specimens of their skill in the
various branches of their art. The ladies also,
from various points of our State, arc expected
to contribute, and no doubt Is entertained but
that the commencement of the enterprise will
usher in most triumphant auspices of a suc
cessful future.
Frost.— There was a slight frost in the vi- ;
oinity of Jackson, Miss., on Tuesday morning j
the 2oth September.
The Case es J. M Barrett.
We learn from the Telegraph that this case
has been continued until the spring term of
tho Court, and thatjßarrett is admitted to bail
in the sum of SI,OOO.
The case came up en Thursday last, and was
postponed at the instance of the Solicitor, who
desired to procure important testimony, which
could not be obtained before next term.
Barrett may choose to forfeit his bail, rather
than risk a trial. He has been dealt with as
any other offender against our laws, and they
are utterly ignorant of the character of our
people who imagine that even the high erime
with whieh he ia charged could exeite our
people to overt acts of summary punishment
after the law had taken charge of the offender.
—South Carolinian, 9th inst.
"Preaching the gospel is a glorious oeeu
potion,” said a colored pastor recently, " but
pleaee to remember, my hearers, that clergy
men want families, shirte, champagne iced,
vension, pork and beans, and other luxuries,
while their wives can’t get along without
dresses, ehemises, bonnets and pelises ; there
fore do n’t drop in no bad pennies and ehaw#
of terbakker when Cato brings round the su
gar-bowl for your contributions.”

Daily accounts are received of the caving in

ing the first Municipality from St. Louis-st. to
Beef Market sunk a foot or two, and making
encroachments towards New Levee street. No
danger is feared to the city. The weather is
quite cold this morning. The political can
vass, in view of the approaching State Elec
tions, is waxing warm. Whig and Democrat
ic demonstrations every night. Both parties
equally confident.
The Falcon left here last evening for Cha
gres, with twelve passengers from this city,
and sixty-six from New York.
News ha? been received from Kingston, Ja

they have gained an accession of strength by

Thk next Congress.—The Washington cor
respondent of the Journal of Commerce, spe
culating upon the tone and temper of the next
Congress towards the administration says :
«• I have had somo means of knowing demo
cratic sentiment among intelligent and influ
ential men, during the past summer, and it .is
my opinion that there is much good feeling
among them toward Gen. Taylor, pe-sonally,
and that there is no disposition to countenance
any movement of a party nature that would
serve to perplex him. At the sametime, I have
little doubt that there will be a searching in
quiry into the acts of his Ministers, by the
House, and into the character of nomina
tions, and the cause of removals by the
Senate. We may, indeed, expect to wit
ness a renewal of the scenes of 1842—when a
nomination was taken up and briefly discus
sed, and then, at the headsman’s signal, off
would go his, the nominee's head. These
scenes used to be highly exciting and amusing
The Senators could dine and wine with great
gout, after sending back to Capt. Tyler a hpad
or two in a charger. They will probably amuse
themselves in the same way this winter.”
An Elopement in Olden Time.
The dowager lady Ashburton died at Gos
port, England, a short time since, and her hts
tory contains materials for a plendid romance.
This lady was an American and among other
incidents of note recordod in connection with
her namo, the following will be Tead with in
terest :
She was the daughter of the Hon. William
Bingham, a Senator in Congress, and fifty
years since, her father was a wealthy and pro
minent merchant in Philadelphia. He was a
man of fashion, and the family were among
the leaders of the ton in the Quaker city at
that period. Then ho was identified with the
interests and institutions of the United States;
he was recognized as one of the aristocracy,
and was always remarkably attentive to the
nobility visiting About the
period he was people of Pen -

ting on Third
known as He el’s Mansion Housd^^Bß
ham entertained strangers, Senators
Cabinet with princely hospitality. His family
led the fashions of those times, and a very
friendly intimacy existed between him and
Gen Washington.
The French revolution drove several noble
men to the U. States as exiles, among whom
were two professed duelists, Count de Tilly
and Viscount de Noailles. The Viscount either
brought letters to Mr. Bingham from Gen.
Lafayette, or he obtained an introduction to
him, which led to his admittance as an inmate
of the family. Having acquired the confi
dence of Mr. Bingham by his address and ac
complishments, he managed to introduce the
Count de Tilly into that hospitable opipsion.
The Count was as noted for his profligacy as he
was for his skill with the small sword; and
understanding all the arts of a seducer, he
soon obtained the good opinion and admira
tion of Mrs. Bingham and Miss Mari? Matilda
Bingham, an only daughter.
In those times, and even since, a nobleman
—French, English, or German—was received
with marked attention in all wealthy families.
There was much patrician blood coursing
through the veins of the young Republic;
royalty and nobility were not then, as, now at
a discount. Marquises, Viscounts and Barons
were lionized whenever they made their ap
pearance, and young ladies were enamored
with titles. This Count de Tilly soon per
suaded Miss Bingham to elope with him, and
also bribed some clergyman to unite them. —
The city was not then very populous, and the
whole world of fashion was thrown into the
greatest excitement at hearing that Miss Bing
ham had run away with the French Count de
Tilly; and Mr- Bingham himself—a vey hones’,
well meaning, but not very distinguished man,
excepting for wealth—was dreadfully mortified
at this rash step of his daughter, then not six
teen years of age. The whole city called it a
vile abduction. The greatest indignation was
every where expressed; and Capt. Barry, com
manding a packet ship, and a man of fashion,
took occasion to thrash the Count for some
insolence, The couple were forthwith separat
ed and the affair was the subject of tea-table
conversation lor somo time—such an event sel
dom occurring in those quiet and innocent
periods.
Mr. tyinghatn almost sunk under the blow. j
but it became necessary to open aomc negoti*- !
tions with mo Count, to buy him off, as he ;
only ran away with tho girl tor her fortune.
The Count, in the course of these negotiations,
represented himself to be deeply in debt, and
that it was impossible to ieave tha country !
without satisfyinz his creditors to the amodn*
of £5,00G in ready jnonev and an annuity*!*
£6OO, which was paid and secured to him,l
tii)d he left for France, the marriage having !
been declared fraudulent. Mr. and Mrs. Bing- I
ham never recovered from the afioclf, and died
shortly afterwards.
A young English merchant, by the name of
Baring, subsequently arrived in Philadelphia
with letterc to Mr. Bingham, and forming an
attachment for his daughter, married and car
ried her home. Her husband, afterwards the
head of the great banking house of Paring k
Brothers, yas preßted (• Bijron under the title
of Lord Ashburton, and was the negotiator
here of the celebrated Ashburton treaty. The
dowager I.ady Ashburton, recently deceased,
was tne girl who had excited 90 much atten
tion and polite gossip, when run away with
by the Count de Tilly, some fifty years ago.
Another Murder.— We lcern that a mur
der was committed in this county, on Monday
lftst, (election day,) near Woodstation, on the
person of a Mr. Cook, by a man named Good
son. We have not heard the particulars, but
from what we have been able to gather from
different individual*, it appears that a difficul
ty occurred bttween them a few days previous,
from some eause or other, and that, on meet
ing at the poll* and passing a few words,
Goodson shot Cook with a musket, killing him
instantly. The parties, as i« usual, were in
toxicated. Goodson, the person who commit
ted the bloody deed, has been arrested and
confined in jail to await his trial.— Ringgold

A No vat Marriagb.—The Hayneville( Ala.)
Chronicle, contains an account of a marriage
in that town, which has a novelty about it that
will be quite charming to those young ladies
who are partial to runaway matches and the
like. The Chronicle says:
“The denizens of our usually quiet village,
were thrown into some little excitement by
the arrival here, on Sunday last, of a runaway
•ouple from a neighboring county. The news
soon spread through town, and a number of
persons assembled at the corners of the streets,
anxious to witness the result. Application
was made to the clerk of the county court for
a license, but owing to the stringent provi
sions of the law, l in such cases made and
proved,’ the application was refused. Here
was a predicament. But the parties undaunt
ed by opposing barriers, were determined upon
the consummation of their wishes. Like the
heroes and the heroines of romance, neither
locks, bolts, nor the opposing obst-cles pre
sented by the law, were suflicisnt to dampen
their spirits or check their desires. After co:.- j
sultatiou with legal gentlemen, a happy expe
dient was hit upon to crown their labors with i
success, which was carried out in a becoming
and graceful manner by the parties concerned. j
The crowd were politely witness the
scene in the drama, and the happy consumma
tion of tho nuptials, which was performed in
the following manner : The gentleman taking
the lady by the right hand, repeated the mar
riage ceremony in a clear and distinct voice,
constituting them man and wife, to which the
lady assented. After which, amid the smiles
and congratulations of the crowd, they took
thei r departure, doubtless well pleased with
the happy termination of the affair. The par
ties ate very respectable people, and reside in
Montgomery county. The gentleman's name
is Todd, and tho lady’s Brussell. We wish
tho happy couple a long and prosperous life.
“By a decision of the Supreme Court, the
agreement of the parties before witnesses, to
become man and wife, constitutes them such
to all intents and purposes ; and hence we
conclude the present marriage, though novel
in its character, is a legal one.”
Tug Tbhuantepec Routs. —A meeting of
some of our most influential citizens took place
last evening at the office of M. M. Cohen, Esq.
Exchange Place, for the purpose of taking into
consideration preliminary measures for the !
great meeting which is to be held to-morrow j
evening of the citizens of New Orleans favora- j
bfato the adoption of the Tehuantepee route (
to the Pacific. Leonard Mathews, Esq., was ,
called to the chair, and Mr. F. Camerdut ap- ,

On motion of John C. Larue, Esq., a eom- (
mittee of five was appointed by the chairman 1
to take charge of the organization of the meet- (
ting for Friday evening at the Commercial Ex- !
change, and another committee, comprising .
the same number of gentlemen, to draft reso- <

Messrs. Cohen, Larue and Heartt succes- 1
sivelv addressed the meeting, energetically 1
dwelling on the supeiior advantiges to New *
Orleans, and to the whole Southern and Wes- |
torn country, of tho Tehuantepec route to the {
Pacific over all others hitherto projected. Mr.
De Bow hazaided a few remarks on somo dif
ficulties in the wan’, of harbors on each side of
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, but Messrs, j *
Larue and Cohen intimated that no obstacle of j
that nature existed—there was no want of ,
convenient harbors or safe anchorage. Attor- j j
ney General Elmore also made a few pertinent i
remarks.
Some inteiosting general information on the I
attributes of the projected line of road was fur- 1
uished by the speakers, which gave much i c
satisfaction to the meeting. It then adjourn- I

Rcst&ofthe Maryland Election — The House of Re
prSk/it stives—Navigation Reciprocities.
Tils Maryland election is over, and a bright
souidbnes out, over both the successful and
*'"'* t candidate!-. The opinion hero
that the obsessional delation
■—* l the
in
■rule demon «•« h.tv.
democratic
House will be one. On neither side
of one very decisive of any thing,
as tp the organization of the House or its sub
sequent a.ction.
It is pretty certain, at all events, that the
two parties will be, as nearly as possible, equal
—and that both will have to stand an ecjual
hazard in regard to the impracticable free
soilers who are in their ranks. There are
eighteen members who are nominally free
soilers, but it is not yet known that they will
refuse to go iqto caucus with thoir respective
parties—and it is not prqbafile that they will
adopt a separate organization.
Some of the nothern papers state that all
their merchants, ship-owners, and seamen, are
in favor of a reciprocity of the British Aets,
far they are not afraid to enter into competition
with ali tiie world. This is a good tone of
feeling. It is even staled that our ships are
already reaping the benefit of this British na
vigation act; and that there are charters ot -
feringfor our ships to go to Calcutta, and load
for London. Os course, the planting and
farming interest will reidily acquiesce in the
change. It remains to be seen from what
quarter any opposition to it may arise.
Neoro Supbkstitios. —A slave was arrested
this morning, by the First Municipality Po
lice, with the iirst joint cf a man’s finger,
carefully wrapped in a iiannel bag, in his pos
session. This is the third or fouth time with
in six months that negroes have been arras
te4 here with lingers in their possession, and
it was recently otated in a M 'bile paper, that
a slave was detected in one of the cemeteries
of that city, in the act of severing one of the
Ungers from the hand of a person recently buri
ed, without any reasonable motive for he act,as
the hand was not jewelled, to tempt his oupi
dity. The idea negroes have in possessing
themselves of these singular (• pocket pieces’’
is purely superstitious, They believe that
the finger of s dead m»n is a charm that com
mands fortune in gambling, and that with one
on their person, it is an impossibility to lose.
Those addicted to that vice will, therefore,
run almost any hazard to obtain so potent an
amulet.— N.' O. Courier.

Men with Tails. —A Frenoh scientific com
mission has discovered a raee of men in Africa,
with tails, and no mistake. A report was late
ly made to the Academy of Sciences thereon.
They are one remove from the baboon, scarce
ly so handsome as the ourang-outang, but oan
talk like negroes. They are terrible savages,
and one of their peculiarities in a fondness for
raw flesh, especially human flesh. When they
ara kept as slaves, if not stuffed with raw meat
occasionally, they are as dangerous as a beast
of prey. The slave-traders, on this account,
refuse to buy them, as they do not want their
stock to eat eaeh other np.
The descriptions of them say that the pro
longation of the vertebral column gives to
each individual—male or female—a tail of two
or three inehes long. Thoy are called Ghi
lanes, and are rarely more than five feet high;
bodies lean and seem weak; are long and slim;
fjrehead low and receding; ears long and de
formed; mouth wide, and furnished with teeth
very eharp.

th e streets of the eity of Paris, at midnight,
a patrol called out, “ Who ’• there 1" "It ’■

on the increase.
DRV GOODS, &c.&c—Quite a large business
continues to be done by our wholesale dealers in
Dry Goods, Hardware, Drugs, Hats, &c., and from

this State, Alabama and Tennessee would do well
to examine our stocks before they seek other mar
kets.
GRAIN.—Corn is dull of sale for shelled at 55
cts; ear Corn is selling from 45 to 50 cts by the load,
