The new Governor of Florida, the Ho;>James E. Broome, was inaugurated, as we leariNfrom the Tallahassee Floridian & Journal, at Talla hassee on the 3d inst. Previous to the adminis tration of the oath of office, Governor Broome delivered an Inaugural Address, in which he ad vocates the increase of the School Fund of the State as a measure of State policy, and urges that such additions should be made to it from time to time as a due regard for other interests may justi fy. He is, also, in lavor of cot,summating the great State enterprise of connecting with bands of iron its Western, Eastern and Southern sec tions, and wilt take pleasure in co-operating with the Legislative Department of the Government in all proper measures for securing it. In the election ot General Pierce to the Presidency, he understands the people to have decided in favor of the doctrine of Strict Construction, and can not doubt that the President will firmly and faithfully enforce their decision, and adds that it is hardly necessary to say that such an adminis tration will receive his cordial and hearty sup port In reference to the removal of the Semi nole Indians, he speaks as follows: The removal of the Seminole Indians from our State is another of those questions of which I may briefly speak. They are here, a blight to our prosperity; in violation ot their treaty obli gations, and in open defiance of the power, au thority and importunity of the Federal Govern ment. Their presence prevents the influx of population, which the salubrity of our climate and fertility of our soil would invite—depresses the price and retards the sale of large bodies of State lands, the proceeds of which are wanted for purposes of education and internal improve ments. Their treachery renders insecure the lives and property of our frontier population— keeps them in a continual state of anxiety and alarm—prevents the organization of Schools, and forbids the employment of capital in useful en terprises. They occupy a part of our teiritory which, if opened to settlement, would soon be come one of our richest and most densely populat ed sections. Its superior adaptation to the cul ture of Sugar, Spanish Tobacco, Sisal Hemp, with a great variety of tropical fruits, would make it an inviting field for the investment of capital and the employment of labor. Under such circumstances, the State can never sanction, and I hope will never submit to a policy which looks to anything short of their removal. With a view to facilitate so desirable an ob ject, the General Assembly, at its last session, passed a law entitled “An Act to provide for the final removal of the Indians of this State, and for other purt>oses ” This law devolves on the Exe cutive important trusts, and the conflict of opinion in reference to his duties under it, may justify me in saying more on this subject than, und.*r other circumstances, would perhaps be proper. The 16th Section of the 3d article of the Con stitution of this State, fixes the law making pow er, and prescribes the manner in whic * laws shall be passed, and a reference to the Journals shows that the law under consideration was passed in the manner prescribed by that section. The 10th section of the same article of the Con stitution prescribes, as one ot the duties of the Executive, that “He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” and one of the obliga tions which 1 am about to assume, under the solemn sanctions of an oath, is to “protect and detend the Constitution of this State.” I need hardly sav to you, fellow citizens, that I shall consider it a part of my constitutional duty to see that this law is “faithfully executed.” In connection with this declaration, it is per haps due to the anxiety prevailing on this sub ject that I shall speak briefly of the general re quirements of this law. First, the Governor is required to raise one brigade of volunteers, commission the officers, and tender the brigade to the Federal Govern ment for the removal of the Indians. These duties are purely executory, and will be promptly discharged. Second, should the General Gov ernment decline to accept the services of the brigade, the Governor is required to secure the frontier settlers, and employ the Brigade in car rying out the provisions of the law in that part of the Peninsula now occupied by the Indians, and is authorized, under certain restrictions, to borrow money on the faith of the State, for their subsistence, transportation, pay, &c. These lat ter duties, however, the law requires to be dis charged under the proviso contained in the eleventh section of the act, which is in these words: Provided, That the Governor shall not commence actual operations within the Indian boundary until the 4th of May next, and not until he is satisfied that the General Government has determined not to remove said Indians by force or otherwise: Provided, further, That if actual hostilities 6hall be commenced by the In dians before that time, the foregoing proviso shall be of no force or effect.” Thus it is seen that there are two contingen cies, and only two, upon the happening of either of which the Executive is authorized to order the Brigade into actual service. One of these is that the Indians shall commence actual hostilities, and the other is that he shall be satisfied that the General Government has determined not to re move said Indians by force or otherwise. To decide whether the General Government has so deter mined, may prove one of the most delicate and difficult of all the duties imposed by the law ; but it is a duty, and I pledge myself to discharge it to the best of my ability. In doing so, I may commit errors of judgment, but none, I hope, which will compromise the interests or dignity of our commonwealth. ° Governor Broome concluded his address by stating that the powers with which the Execu tive Office would invest him were derived from the Constitution, and should neither be enlarged by assumptions of those reserved by the people or by encroachments on those delegated to the other departments of the Government, and said : My purpose shall be honestly to administer the Executive Department, with a view to the best interests of the State, and of the whole State. That a defective judgment will often lead me into error, I have too much reason to fear ; but conscious of the rectitude of my purpose, I may ask your indulgence for my errors, for they will never be intentional. And now, witn an hum ble reliance, (as I hope.) upon the Supreme Ru ler of the Universe, tor that wisdom which will enable me to discharge rny duty in such a man ner as to promote your interest and His glory, I am ready to take the oath of office. The oath of office was administered by the Hon. Leslie A. Thompson, one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, in the words fol lowing: “I, James E. Broome, do swear that I am duly qualified, according to the Constitution of this State, to exercise the office to which I have been elected, and will, to the best of my abilities, dis charge the duties thereof, and preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of this State, and of the United States, so help me God.” Col. Henry P. Jones, we are informed by a correspondent, died at one ol his plantations in Laurens county, on Sunday morning last, of in flammation of the bowels, aged 65 years. He was born and reared in Burke county, and was one of her oldest and most respectable citizens. His father was a sterling Whig of the Revolu tion, and battled manfully tor the liberties of his country. Col. Jones was one of the wealthiest men in Georgia, a great amount of which he accumulatod by his indomitable personal ener gy. He was bland and modest in his manners and in his heart benevolent and kind. He leaves his large estate to six children.— Sav. Republi can. A Third Set of Teeth. — Humphrey Powell, aged 75 years, residing west of the great Pee Dee. in this District, has a new set of tront teeth both in the upper and lower jaws, in every place where the old ones had rotted out, or been ex tracted. Thirty-two years ago he states he lost some of his teeth, and others at intervals since that time. The number of new teeth which be has cut is seven, being the number of front teeth which he had lost; two of these, however, are small as yet, having made their appearance only a few weeks ago. The old man is strong, vigorous, and looks as if he might Jive a good while yet. — Marion Star. Fall Fashions. , It is a prevailing custom now for our modistes and directors of the fashion to set aside particu* far days once or twice in the year, for a general exhibition of the fashions that are to prevail dur lDgthe season. Last week gave us a fair sam p e of autumn weather, and of course it was a usy time among the fashionables up town. cLune & Haskell, whose establishment em races every article known to fashionable life, and whose facilities for attaining and adopting the most approved Parisian modes are unequaled, opened their establishment, during several suc cessive days, giving a day to each department. Thus we have had an opportunity of examining the most approved fashions without more trou ble than is necessary to walk from one room or counter to another. On the day given to bon nets a most beautiful assortment was on exhibi tion, and more than three hundred of the most exquisite bonnets that a combination of perfect taste and rich materials can produce, were sold in ten hours. The Dressmaking Department was equally crowded. We saw whole wardrobes finished and ready to be sent to their respective destina tions The fashions for street and evening dres ses vary but little from those of the early spring. Pagoda sleeves, the most graceful things ever in vented, still continue in favor, the attempt to in troduce bishop and other sleeves gathering on a wristband having quite failed of attaining fashionable approbation. Basquines are still worn, and open bodices, sometimes laced over the chemisette with bands of velvet or quilled ribbon, still prevail. Indeed, the principal changes lie in the trimmings rather than the geneial form. In that we saw some beautiful efforts of taste, almost every dress presented some original varity of trimming, velvet rib bons, quipure laces, quilled satins, or all these at times mingled and relieving each other, giving that endless variety which prevents any two la dies dressing alike, and yet imparts that prevail ing air of the same style throughout, which we call fashion. A street dress of purple silk was much admir ed. The skirt was trimmed with five flounces, each edged with an embroidery of polka spots in in black. It had a jacket corsage with lappets falling back from the bust, and a basquine edged with spots like the flounces. The sleeves are composed of five falling frills edged like the bas quine and flounces. Brocades and moir antique are but lightly trim med, the richness of the material rendering much ornament, not only superfluous but in bad taste. A dress of black moir trimmed with homiton lace edging and embroidery, where black bugles were prettily introduced, running down the basque and around the sleeves, was greatly ad mired. The skirt was long and sweeping, but the broad rich waves watered over it would have been broken, and their effect destroyed by any attempt of trimming, therefore none was attemp ted. Chrildren’s Clothing. —Nothing can exceed the costliness and labor lavished upon children’s clothing this year. Saques and trowsers for lit tle boys, are completely laden down with em broidery. There is in McCone and Haskell’s case, in the Crystal Palace, a dress that a flower painter might look upon with admiration. The saque is of ruby velvet, embroidered with a border of flowers in their natural tints—fuschias, with their purple urns, depening as if in the sun forget-me-nots, small and delicate, as we find them on the river side ; clusters of climatis blossoms, and that delicate leafy spray, which it would seem nothing but a fairy’s needle could imitate, are blended and wreathed in the border so like the real flowers, that one half fancies they must ripen and droop as the originals do. The white cashmere, embroidered down the sides and around the bottom in white silk; they are left open a little on one side of the instep, where the embroideries meet, and altogether are chaste and beautiful, as the saque is superb. We select the dress for description, from a bewilder ing variety of the most unique and beautiful things ever invented to make the loveliness of children more lonely still, because the needle work is a miracle es art, and the whole dress is really the most perfect thing of the kind that we have ever seen. For Little Girls, the dresses are also superb. We remember one of white cashmere, with a border of the most delicate palm leaf trimming, aud a broad sash plaided by the same colors on a white ground. Lappetts. falling off the should er, give that cherub-like breadth across the chest, which we all love to see in a little girl. The under sleeves, pantaletts and chemisettes worn with this dress are of embroidered cam bric. Another little girl’s dress, with more warmth of color, was a cashmere of that rich tint which we find in the heart ot a cactus blos som—red, with a bluish glow. This was made in three flounces, each flounce edged, two inches deep, with a wreath of roses woven in the cloth ; a pretty jacket rounded off in front, and edged like the flounces, composed the dress. Halt a dozen of these dresses were sold while we were looking on. Ball dresses are cut low in the neck, with very narrow sleeves. Instead of falling square across the bust, the lace berthe diminishes gradually in width to the waist. This admits of a rich trimming upon the front, and take a stomacher form more graceful than the fashion that preceded it. Sleeves and chemisettes of the most costly honiton lace are now worn with every kind of dress that admits of them. There can be no excess in the embroideries used, for the most fashionable are such as leave the original fabric doubtful, so completely is it covered with needlework. Infants' 1 Dresses are enriched more than ever with embroidery. We saw robes upon McCune & Haskell’s counter, worked a foot deep in the skirt, and with the front breadth covered with the most elaborate patterns. Infants' Cloaks. —The cloaks of white merino, that go with these dresses, are almost invariably enriched with borders embroidered in white roses or more intricate designs. Among the ladies’ cloaks, which are more su perb this year, and more varied in style than has ever been known before, were some unique op«ra cloaks of white cashimere lined with pink silk and edged with heavy white fringe nettled upon the cloak four or five inches deep. The pale glow of the pink lining through the fringe and tassels about the hood had an effect delicate as the blush in a white rose. Another of white satin faced with a trimming of white velvet, one stripe cut, the other uncut, laid on the gar ment diagonally, was beautiful for for a bridal garment. Another of corn-colored silk, lined a »T d -rt rin T 7 ed witkl wtute i was greatly admired.— iV. Y. Kxprtss Pensacola and Georgia Road. Subscriptions to stock in this road are gradu ally progressing in this county. On Monday last $60,000 were taken, making the subscrip tion thus far, with scarcely no effort, nearly SIOO,OOO in Leon. Ihe recent movement by parties interested in the Brunswick Road, to bring about a compromise and union between that road and the Florida, Albany and Savan nah Comf>any, makes it of the first importance that active efforts be at once made to secure the SBOO,OOO pledged by our Convention. We call upon the people of Middle Florida to arouse themselves. ###*### We are pleased to be able to say that some of those who have heretofore regarded the whole movement in Middle Florida with coldness, have put their names down among the list of subscribers. Thus opposing views seem to be harmonizing—circumstances which augurs ul timate success. P. S. —The Eight Hundred Thousand Ta ken !—Since writing the above, we learn that individuals in this county have subscribed the whole amount pledged by the Convention, to wit: SBOO,OOO. The subscribers are all citizens of Leon, and well able to meet their subscriptions. It is expected that by the first day of January next at least two hundred hands will be placed on the road. gjThe stock was taken this morning. This movement will not cut off the other counties in the Middle from the opportunity of sharing in the cost of the work, but they are still expected to subscribe liberally, as we are confident they will promptly do. We make this announcement with the most unalloyed satisfaction, feeling assured that an impetus is now given to the work that must re sult in its success. From the foregoing announcement, which we find in the Tallahassee Journal, of last Saturday, it would seem that our Middle Florida friends have gone to work, at last, in dead earnest. SBOO,OOO in a single county looks as though the people of Leon are getting tired of living out of the world. Well we don’t wonder that they should be. The wealth oi Gadsden, Jefferson, Madison and Hamilton can very easily add $500,000 to this amount. But subscriptions are not all. The Floridian tells us that at least two hundred hands are to be placed upon the road by the first day ot next January. Good again. That is the true spirit. In building Railroads we never for the life of us could see the wisdom of the stand still policy. When the money is subscribed and stockholders stand ready to pay in their instalments as called for, why not call for them, and go to work. And the work once commenced —on with it until the cars commence running, and the profits begin to accumulate for division. As for the Savannah end of the line we hope we shall not have to wait until the first of Jan uary before we can announce that the work— not of surveying nor of locating—but of grading has commenced upon it. What say you Mes*rs. President and Directors ?— Sav. Georgian, 13 th inst. Rabun Gap Railroad. The Engineers of this road have arrived in our city and are now engaged in prosecuting the survey of the route to the North Carolina State line, on the completion of which the company design commencing the work of grading on the Tennessee section of the road. The contractors, Bangs & Co., have already advertised for 3000 laborers, for another part of the work, and every movement of that enter prising company tends to justify and establish that feeling of confidence in their energy and ability, with which the public mind has been inspired, and every assurance is felt that the en tire road will be completed as early as is consis tent with the magnitude of the work. The Rabun Gap Road will be of incalculable advantage both to East Tennessee and Charles ton. It embraces within the scope of its trans porting facilities, a section of country whose ag ricultural capabilities are immense, containing a producing and consuming population already large, but which, under the stimulus of transpor tation advantages, will be doubled or quadrupled in a very few years. But the minerals of East Tennessee, constitute the chief element ot its wealth. Its mineral opulence is known even beyond the Atlantic, and Europeanjcapitalists . have already embarked in Copper and Lead mi ning among us. Some of the richest and most extensive beds of Copper, not to mention Lead, Iron. Coal, Marble, &c., will be commanded by the Rabun Gap Road. Mining operations in East Tennessee are in their merest infancy. Perhaps no section on the Globe of equal extent, I possesses more undeveloped wealth than East Tennessee. Its coal and iron are literally inex haustable, its copper is reported to be equally 60, ! its Lead is abundant, its Marble is adjudged to | be the finest in the world, and its numerous quarries are full of it, and altogether our valleys and mountains are “ rich beyond compare.” ’ We hail the anticipated construction of the Ra bun Gap road as the key to the rich and varied treasures of East Tennessee.— Knoxville States man, 12 th inst. [From the Huntsville Advocate.\ 1 To Merchants and Shippers over the Western and Atlantic Railroad : Chattanooga, Sept. 13th, 1853. A short time since, Gen. W. N. Bishop, Agent of Western and Atlantic Railroad at this place, called upon Sample & Co., and stated to them that he had it in his power to withdraw the Receiving and Forwarding Business from the Commission Merchants altogether, and could do the same at the expense ot the Western and At lantic Railroad, except a charge of three cents per 100 los forDrayage. He also, further stated that he would still allow the business to be done by the following houses, viz: J. F. Brooke & Co., S. R. McCamy, and Grenville & Sample, provided, they would agree not to ship any Goods upon what are known as the “Daily Line of Packets,” consisting of the Alabamian, Chatta nooga, Molly Garth, Fanny Malone, Atlanta a d Union ,• also that they, the aforesaid Commis sion Merchants, would further agree to ship only on the steamer Loudon, (of w hich Gen. Bishop is half owner) and two other Boats which he named. Not having any interest whatever, di rectly or indirectly in any or either of the Boats above mentioned, Samples could not consistent ly with their sense of duty to their patrons, con sent to withhold Goods from a large majority of the Boats in the river and ship only upon such irregular and transeient Boats as Gen. Bishop had an interest in, or as his partialities or preju dices might dictate. They therefore declined his proposition, feeling that they could not, as hono rable men, connive at such a palpable fraud upon their patrons and the public. In accordance with what seems to have been the determina tion ot of Gen. Bishop, piedicted upon a refusal to comply with his proposition, we are credibly informed that a messenger was despatched to Loudon to bring down the steamer Loudon to Chattanooga; and notwithstanding our solemn protest against the illegal proceeding, he refused to deliver to us the goods marked to our care and address; but in utter contempt of law, caused the same to be drayed from the deport to ihe steamer Loudon, to be shipped to what he sup posed to be their point of destination. We will further state, that we are informed and believe, that a portion of said Goods were detained on the cars after their arrival in Chattanooga, until a messenger could go to Loudon and direct the steamer Loudon to come down to Chattanooga. The steamer Fanny Malone, Capt. C. C. Sp.ller, was in port during the whole day (Tuesday) and, under the existing circumstances, agreed to take all of the freight then offering for the no minal sum of 10 cents per 100, in order that the owners of such freight might have an opportuni ty of taking the matter into their own hands, and that no interest except the personal gain of the Railroad Agent might be urged in palliation of this high handed outrage. Grenville & Sample. Hooke & French. Stock Farms. The upper portions of our District seem to have been intended by nature for stock growing purposes. The extensive ranges, thickly set with indigenous grasses and wild pea vine, upon which cattle thrive better than on domestic grains, certainly were intended for some use in nature’s economic plans; and we have always looked forward to the time when these hereto fore undeveloped resources would be appropria ted, as the dawning of a new era in her history; and in conjunction with the great internal im provements now in progress, and the establish ment of manufactories destined to place her arnong the first in the State. It is, therefore with no ordinary degree of gratification we com mence to note these changes in her borders. All know that the Blue Ridge Road is a fixed fact; and we are sure the following will go far to show that stock-growing is fast becoming a sta ple of our weath. The|Hon. R. F. Simpson, Capt. John Maxwell, Col. John D. Williams and Wm. Griffin have purchased the Bone Camp place, on Chauga, with a view of converting it into an extensive stock farm, and giving special attention to the rearing of sheep. The scientific knowledge of some of these gentlemen especial ly our ex-Congressman, places success beyond a doubt. Capt. Wagner, of the German Company, we are informed, is at present engaged in importing a number of Electoral sheep, and a regularly trained shepherd from Europe. The known superiority of this breed to any in the world, makes them peculiarly valuable, and there is no telling the change they will make in crossing I upon our own domestic stock. He deserves great credit for his enterprise, and, we are confi dent, will in luture reap a rich reward by his speculation. Maj. W. S. Grishman proposes devoting much of his time and capital to the growing of stock on his new mountain farm; and, if he raises as fine mules and other stock on his new place as he did at West Union, we are sure it will not be long before we shall have the pleasure of noting him again. Col. Wm. Sloan owns a large stock farm, over the line it is true, but in the same region; and we were pleased to see Maj. J. N. Wtutner, Jr. j passing through our village last week op his way to these monntains, where the Judge has purchased an excellent farm, and already has a nunr ber of mules and horses; and will, we have no doubt, soon have some of his fine Durham cattle. He, too, we are confident, will give the sheep a trial. There are many others starting in the same j direction, and we venture the prediction that in less than ten years all of these extensive tracts of unappropriated lands will be brought into re quisition for these purposes. We shall in luture numbers give a few extracts from writers on the nature of rearing sheep, and an article on the water power of our District, and the facilities for manufacturing purposes.— Pickens Courier. Snow, accompanied by hail, fell in Syracuse ! on Monday afternoon. According to the weath- j erwise this early appearance of snow is indica- j tiveof a severe winter. . I AUGUSTA, GA. SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15. daily and tri-weekly Constitutionalist and Republic. terms reduced. Daily, in advance, ”... '..:56 00. If not paid in advance 7 00. Tri-Wrekly, in advance 4 00. If not paid in advance 5 00. To give a still wider circulation to the already large and wide spread circulation of this paper, the Proprietor offers the Daily at $6,00, and the Iri-weekly at $4,00 to all new subscribers, and to all the present subscribers who pay up ar rearages, it any are due, and pay one year in advance. Those Daily and Tri-weekly subscribers who have paid in advance, will be duly credited at the old rates to the Ist prox, and at the new rates after that date. The increased facilities by mail tor Daily and Tri-weekly intelligence from Augusta, in every direction, by the various Railroad lines leading to this city, encourages the proprietor to make this appeal for increased patronage. It is only by a greatly increased subscription list, he can expect to be saved prospectively from the pecuni ary loss this reduction immediately entails upon him. He confidently relies upon the friends of the paper to sustain this movement by their in fluence and kind exertions. The importance of Augusta as a leading com mercial centre, and Depot of Agricultural pro duce, and its facilities for disseminating intelli gence commercial, political and miscellaneous, will be conceded. The value of a commercial, political, and news Journal, properly conducted here, to those who have facilities for receiving it daily or tri weekly, it is unnecessary to argue. The claim of the Constitutionalist <|r Republic to be consider ed such a Journal, is left to the judgment ot its readers and the public. The Proprietor relies upon the friends of the paper in Augusta to obtain for it an increased city circulation. Remittances by mail are at the risk of the Proprietor. The approaching Fair will offer a good oppor tunity to those whowrishto remit or subscribe. See first page Daily, this morning. Theatre. —Mr. and Mrs. Crisp, and Mr. Bux ton and Mr. Fuller make their appearance again this evening The Fair. On Monday next Messrs. Clark & Co., on the corner of Broad and Mclntosh streets, will have on exhibition at their jewelry store, the different premiums to be awarded at the State Fair to be held in this city They will also have on exhi bition the different premiums, in the shape of silver pitchers, given by our warehousemen. The latter we have seen. They are of massive silver and beautifully wrought, and will not only be highly appreciated by the fortunate comptitors but are highly creditable to the donors. While on the subject of the Fair, we will men tion several articles manufactured in this city and intended tor exhibition, which will no doubt carry off premiums. Harness— From the manufactory of Mr. Albert Hatch. The specimens consist of a double and single harness, gold and silver mounted, and quill stitched. The workmanship is beautiful, and the prominent portions of it being stitched with porcupine quills, gives it a lasting quality and continued brightness while the leather lasts. Ihe great advantage of quill stitching is, that when it gets soiled, it can be washed and then it looks as well as when new. The hames, bitts and trace buckles are heavily silver plated on steel, which gives them greater strength—the small buckles are covered with leather, and the straps passing through them work on rollers, which prevents wear. Some of the quill stitch ing, which is really beautiful, was done by one ol -Mr. Hatch’s apprentices. This hames, was inteuded for the world’s fair, but was not com pleted in time. It will do credit to any work shop in the Union, and we feel proud of' it as a product of our city. The sett is valued at SIOOO. Guns. —From the manufactory of E. H. Ro gers. First, a Double Barrelled Shot Gun—bar rels of laminated steel—mounting of very heavy sterling silver. The stock is of curled walnut, highly finished and engraved, and will compare favorably with the best London makers. Ma hogany case and implements complete. This gun is valued at $250. Secon l. A Rifle—Cast steel barrel, telescopic globe and plain sights, with a shot barrel at tached to same stock, which can be put on or off at pleasure. This Rifle is silver mounted, and the stock is of black walnut, finely finished. It is put up in a mahogany case with all necessary implements. Valued at $l6O. I hird. Another Rifle, with cast steel barrel and Clark’s patent loading muzzle. The barrel is fluted and the stock is made of the finest curled walnut—mounting, heavy silver. This Rifle i« also put up in a mahogany case, and has all ne cessary implements. Valued at $l5O. Ihe Guns noticed above we have seen, and for neatness of workmanship and finish, we do not think their superiors can be found in the country. There are a number of other articles prepared for the Fair, manufactured in this city, which we will take another opportonity to notice. The Campbell Minstrels are Coming, again. Our numerous readers will be gratified to learn that this popular troupe of Negro Melodists will pay our city another visit. Their indefatigable agent, F. C. Cross, called at our office yesterday and informed us that he had succeeded in enga ging the Ball Room of the Augusta Hotel, where the Campbell’s will hold forth. We do not know that they could have selected,a better lo cation. The Hall will comfortably accommodate five hundred persons, and is centrally located. are gratified to learn that these favorite Minstrels met with a warm reception in Charles ton and Savannah, and we feel assured they will meet with another in this city on their re turn. They open on Monday night. Beware of Counterfeits. We understand that one dollar bills of the Mechanic’s Bank, and of the Bank of Augusta, raised to five, are in circulation in the interior of [ this State. They are poorly executed and easily j detected by any one in the habit of handling j bank bills, and we publish this notice to put those who are not,on their guard. Keep a look 1 out for the circulators of these bills. Choioe Family Flour. Messrs Fleming & jVI ill er will receive our thanks tor a small bag of Family Flour sent us j I yesterday. It had no brand on it to designate the mill at which it was ground, but we have ' given it a trial and find it good. They keep it j for bags by the dollars worth or 100 lbs. ; The Chincha Island Outrage. —lt is stated that reparation will be demanded for the outrage | at the Chincha Islands, and advantage taken of | the departure of Hon. Samuel Medary and his suite lor Chili to send despatches to Mr. instructing him to push the demand with vigor. Another Competitor. From present appearances there will be quite a number of competitors for the premiums of* sered by tne Agricultural Society and our Ware housemen for the best five bales of Cotton. We were show n yesterday another sample from the < plantation of Mr. H. P. Hampton, of Columbia 1 county, w’hich is of good staple, color, and well ginned. From the samples so far exhibited to us we would 6ay, taken as a lot, it would bring a fancy price. The Cotton Crop. Florida.— We have been politely furnished (says the Charleston Mercury) with the follow ing extract from a letter of a highly respectable Physician in Alachua county, to a gentleman in this City : l ' During the last few weeks my practice has been quite extensive, and I have been in every direction around this place, and I have on every occasion inquired of those who made Cotton, what they supposed their loss would be by the recent rainy weather. Some few have put their loss at one-half, and some few again at one fourth ; but the large majority of planters seem to concur in the opinion that the loss is fully one-third. My impression is, that an average crop, or one equal to that of last year, will not be made in this section of the country.” Hog Crop of Ohio.— On the Ist of October, about one-half of the counties of Ohio had fur nished the Auditor of State’s Office their annual statement of personal property listed for taxa tion in 1853. The number of hogs in 44 coun ties is set down at 1,315,498, against 696,031 last year. It is, however, doubted, if the real in crease is as as large as the returns make it ap pear, in consequence of the repeal of the S2OO exemption law. The New York Tribune, basing its calcula tion upon the railroad statistics furnished by the London Statistical Society, and which give among other things the average number of miles traversed to one passenger killed, come 3 to the conclusion that if a railroad should be built to the sun, every passenger would, by the laws of chances, be killed before reaching his fiery des tination. At the ordinary rate and speed, it would take 514 years to reach the sun : but 228 years of continuous railroad travelling brings the passenger up, and this would only carry him a little more than half way to the sun. In Ger many, however, the statistics are more favora ble to human life, for “ during the years 1848, 1549, 1850,0 n a length of railway open of 8480 English miles, the number of passengers con veyed was 51,713,297, the miles travelled 1,155,- 436,890, only one passenger had been killed.” It will be altogether best, therefore, that when the railroad is to be built to the sun, it shall be under German management. Protestant Chinamen. —The Nevada (Cali fornia) Journal mentions it as a curious fact that many of the Chinamen in that region are Protes tants, who take oath on the Bible in courts of justice, and say they were converted in China by the labors of a missionary, whom they name with much love. They are peaceable and in dustrious, and give practical evidence that “their faith is illustrated by works.” The La Farge hotel has been leased by Mr. Lanier, formerly of Macon, Ga., for about $45,- 000 a year. It will be ready for the reception of guests on the Ist of December. House Telegraph Line . —This company has now fully established itself with wires leading to New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, worked by the House Printing instrument, and have obtained an excellent character for accura cy, reliability and despatch. Alledgkd 111-treatment of an American Captain. —The San Francisco Herald publishes a letter from Captain Give, of the American schooner B. F. Allen, dated Acapulco, August 24, giving account of the ill-treatment which he and his crew had received from the Mexican authorities at that place. On various frivolous pretexts, his vessel was taken from his posses sion by an armed force, and he and the crew beaten and abused, and finally imprisoned.— S~The authorities, at the dath of the letter, still had possession of the vessel, and it was thought would confiscate her. The American Consul and the Captain were about to join in a protest against the conduct of the authorities. The Methodist Church Suit.— The New York Book Agents oi the Methodist Episcopal Church have agreed with the Church South on a plan for the adjustment of the whole matter in dispute, which is, that it shall be referred to the Hon. Judge McLean, of the Supreme Court of the United States. Both parties have done well, to leave it to the arbitration of such a man as Judge McLean. The Judge is expected in New York in a few days, to meet the commissioners of the two branches of the M. E. Church. The Pacific Railroad.— A San Francisco letter in the N. Y. Tribune says : Meetings are to be held weekly of our citizens on the subject of the Pacific Railway. We shall furnish a map ot statistics in regard to the com merce of the Pacific that will astonish all Eastern people. A company will be organised and rea dy to build the road lrom San Francisco to the State Line. California will be no laggard in this matter. The road must be built and that without delay. Cood Institution.— There is a “Six Penny Savings Bank” in New York, for the benefit of children and others, which has been in operation only a short time. The deposits already amount to SIO,OOO : one of the first of which was by a barefooted boy, who in a single day put in 31 cents, beginning with 5 cents, to keep them from his parents, who took his earnings to buy liquor. It strikes us this institution is worth looking after with a view to imitation.— Phrenological Journal . The Right of Way. — The following deci sion embraces a principle of some interest to our readers: At one of the city courts in Cincinnati, a few days since, a driver was fined $25 sot run ning his wagon against a pedestrian who tvas crossing the street. The Judge decided that at all regular street crossings pedestrians had the right of way, and that the law requires a driver to hold up when he sees a foot passenger cro s ing in front of his taein. The same principle of law holds good elsewhere, and is worthy the notice of both drivers and pedestiians.
