And tinging with peculiar brightness bilvery threads among our h:ir. Let s sit down and talk together ; Alany years away have passed. And lair and foul h is the weather Since we saw each other last. Many whom we loved are living In a better world than this; And some amongst us still are giving Toil and thought for present bliss. Let s sit down and talk together; Though the flowers of youth are dead, The ferns still grow among the heather, And for us their fragrance shed. Life has thousand blessings in it Even for the aged man ; * And God has hid in every minute Something we may wisely scan. Let’s sit down and talk together; Boy we were—we now are men ; We meet a while, but know not whether We shall meet to talk again. PartiDg time has come; how fleetly fipecd the moments when their wings Are fann’d by breathings issuing sweetly From a tongue that never stings! [From Maekeller s “Droppings from the Heart.”] The Dutch Widower. 1 Mine frow was no better as she ort to be, till shust pefore she diet; then she was so good as before,’ remarked Mr. Vanderhorn to his neighbor. * If our wife was an amiable woman, and you do great injustice to her memory,’ said Swartz. ‘ Vel, vat you know so much about mine frow, for ?’ ‘I was not intimately acquainted with her, but I am sure that ail her acquaintances loved her.’ 4 Vot right had they to love her ?—May be— ’ ‘May he what?’ ‘ May be you loved mine frow too.” * Why do you speak so strangely ?’ * Vy, von day, a pig, ugly man, shust like you, came into our house and kissed mine frow right pefore her face.’ ‘ Were you present at the time ?’ ‘ To pe sure I vos.’ ‘ Well, what did you do?’ * I kicked him right pehind Lis pack.’ 4 Did he resent it V ‘Yaw; he proke me and the looking-glass, and ail te rest of te crockery in the house, ’cept te feather bed, into von tam smash !’ 4 What did you do then ?’ 4 Then I cried murder! murder! and I called forte sbudge, and te shury, and te police office and constable, to come, and he rund away !’ ‘Doyou intend to charge me with taking such unwarrantable liberties with the companion of your bosotn V ' Me no charge notting for it now, because she be tead and perried.’ 4 1 will not allow you to make such insinua tions. Tou are an old tyrant, and everybody said you were glad when your wife died.’ * Everybody be one tam liar.’ ‘ l saw ho symptoms of sorrow.’ ‘Me felt more wusht tan if my pest cow has tied.’ ‘Your cow? What a comparison !’ ‘ She was a great loss—a heavy loss—for she was so big as dat (spreading out his arms,) and she weighed more tan two hundred pounds.’ ‘Look out old man, or you will see trouble. I doubt if your wife was ever kissed by any man after her marriage. At alt even's, you must apologise for what you have said of me.’ ‘ Vot is pologise V ‘ You must beg my pardon and say you are sorry; il you do not, I will enter a complaint against you and have you arrested.’ ‘I pe sorry, ten.’ * Sorry for what V ‘Sorry you kissed mine frow.’ ‘ You incorrigible idiot! That is not what you must say, for I never did such a thing in my life.’ 4 Must I say that you pe sorry that you never did such a thing ?’ ‘ No—you must take back what you have said.’ While the Dutchman was in this dilemna, his friend Hans Bambergher, came along, and final ly succeeded faa reconciling the parties, when the trio adjourned to a neighboring coffee-house. Longevity. We have observed recently in our exchanges quite an army ot interesting instances ol longevi ty and numerous progney. We give below a number ol tne most mteresing ol these, with the addition ol several names in this list of modern Methuselahs, whose history we have learned through other sources. First, then, we see it stated that a family gathering ot the Darlington blood was held re cently at the residence of Brigton, Darlington, near West Chester. The gathering was com posed of the descendants of Abraham Darling ton, and numbered near four hundred ! ! Daniel Wilson, ol the Stale Indiana, died re cently at the age ol one hundred and seven years. He is said to have been the companion of Gen. Manou. and to have serv ed long and faithfully under Gen W ashington. These tacts are given by Alexander Wilson, who represents himself as the forty-fifth child of the hero of this notice We have heard it stated that the family cir cle ol John Leach, now residing near Grenville Mercer county, in this State, and lather of Da vid Leach, Esq , the great lorwarding merchant known to nearly every body in the Common wealth, numbers, in children, grand and great grand children, about one hundred and thirty souls!! The old gentleman is about ninety years ot age, and is still remarkable lor his great physicial and mental energy. Mrs. Sarah Benjamin, of Pleasant Mount, Wayne county, is now in her one hundred and eighth year, and enjoys good health and a clear intellect. Sometime during the last summer she sent to Gov. Bilger a skein of woolen yarn, which she had spun a few days previous on her old fashioned wheel, without spectacles. The yarn was ol the finest texture and most perfect proportions. She witnessed the delivery of Cornwallis’s sword to Washington, at Yoik town. She says that she was all American on that occasion, and that she does not believe that she could have treated Cornwallis with the civility that Washington did. She felt like hav ing a little vengeance at the expense ot tones and tyrants. She is the recipient of a pension, and says she should have two pensions, lor she' had two husbands who died in the War of Inde pendence. Aaron Snyder, of Clearfield county, is said to be one hundred and four years old. He is also surrounded by a numerous progeny. He is sensible, but quite helpless. James Gallag .er, of the same county, is re joicing in his 95th year, and has given notice that he will pay no debts contracted by his itinerant wife, who has left his bed and board without cause or provacation. He thinks a lass of eighty ought not to be trusted at large. He served in the war under Washington, and acted the part of a brave soldier. But the greatest Methuselah es all, was Mary Simonson, who died recently near Shippensburg in this State, at the almost incredible age of one hundred and twenty six years —almost one hun dred years over the age of human life.— Harris- | burg Union. Artless Simplicity. —A certain little boy of this city, who recently lost his father, found I himself debarred thereby from attending school as lormerly, and, in the fullness of his faith, he ! determined to seek the wherewithal, at that footstool to which he had doubtless been taught to look for other and higher blessings. In the simplicity of his heart he sat down and gravely wrote a letter to his Redeemer, thinking, perhaps, that so formal a mode of preferring his requests would meet with greater attention. What was the surprise of our worthy postmaster, Win, N. Friend, Esq., on discovering, among the i contents of his letter box one morning lately, a j missive directed to/Jesus Christ!’'* °Opening 1 < it, he f*ad thii itcrjr s? (be fesy’j and, #ith 2 nyble Jdndnei* which We it* net selfish enough to deprive our teaderl of the pleasure of profit t)t hearing, he deposited irt the envelop** the atfaoUiit required; anddirreted it to the young applicant. We havg never heard a story that in so short a compass contains a more instructive and interesting lesson. It combines a singular ly felicitous union of fine illustrations of the great pillars of religion, Faith, Hope and Chari ty, and we would not wish to know the man who could hear this “plain unvarnished tale,” without feeling himself and bis kind ennobled by the recital. Such a man would botanize o’er his mother’s grave.”— [Petersburg Daily Dem. London Clubs. —Respecting the famous Lon don Clubs, a letter in the Boston Post, from the British metropolis, says—“ Arriving at Pall- Mall, (pronounced pal-mal) every house is a palace, and every third man you knock against is either an immaculate peer, an incorruptible member ol Parliament, a gaily-attired swell mob man, or some or equally magnificent item of the idle fraternity. The stately mansions in this street do not belong to the nobiiity; even their enormous revenues could hardly sustain them. They are owned by the fashionable clubs, such, for instance, as the Athenaeum, the army and navy, the reform, the clerical, the Oxford and Cambridge, the conservative, the European, the forensic, &c. Admission can only be obtain ed by ballot—an entrance fee of from £250 to .£SO0 —and a yearly payment of from £6O to £l5O. In this way funds rapidly accumulate; insomuch that in many instances, even after an extravagant outlay on building and decoration— each club emulating the other in these particu lars—a handsome bonus becomes payable to the senior members. Manyot those who joined the reform in its callow days, are now exempted from the yearly subscriptions; and the salary paid to M. Soyer for many years as head cook — I beg his pardon ; chef de cuisine , I should have said—amounted to a cool £6,000 per annum! Great be the glory ol the griddle and the kitch en range! “ Buckingham Palace, in the Park, is an enor mous pile of building erected on the plan of a hollow square, the front white marble, and all the remainder of red sandstone. Queen Victoria lately had the paiace enlarged by some one hun dred and fitly rooms at the national expense. The republican mothers of America will, doubt less, teel inclined to snicker right out’ at the pretext. The original palace contained upwards ol lour hundred rooms; but Lord John Russell came down to the Peers and Commons in Par liament assembled, and gravely acquainted that august body that her most gracious majesty’s enlarged and enlarging family, made the mason ic enlargement requeue. He appealed to their best feelings as husbands and as fathers, to look to the royal comfort; and they, in their infinite wisdom and mercy, kindly forked over, (out of John Bull’s pocket) £200,000, to relieve the im mediate pressure of the distressed sufferers.” t [Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun ] Washington, Oct. 21. The Cuba question is beginning to assume a serious aspect. It is not at all probable that the administration organ in this city would give im portance and credence to the rumors of British interference unless the government was already '» well advised of their truth. But, setting aside 1 all the rumors that have come so thick and so frequently from Havana, and, from Spain, on the subject, there are well known facts in the case 3 from which it may be conjectured that the Brit- J ish government have, in tact, some intrigue with Spain for the prevention of the annexation of * Cuba to the United States. The failure of the 1 tripartite treaty was followed by the significant declaration, by Lord John Russell, that the Brit ; ish Government would act in reference to Cuba without consulting with the United States, and ■ without recognising the claim of the United r States to an exclusive interest in the future of Cuba. We have a rumor that the Secretary of the Navy declared the other dav that the navy yard i at Brooklyn would soon be'the theatre of exten sive naval preparation, and it is supposed that he has reference to the action which the Govern j ment is about to take for the prevention of the 1 africanization of Cuba. I he general tenor of the foreign advices goes to show that there will be no war between the ‘ Christian powers—that is to say, that France and England will not go to w r ar, in any event, with Russia, but that they will favor a scheme for the partition of Turkey in Europe, among ' certain European powers there is little doubt. c The pretence of the Christian powers for this outrage is, that the Turks may, in some state of general phrensy and fanaticism, murder the whole of the eleven millions of Cnristians who are within the nominal dominion of Turkey in : Europe. Some scheme of the kind was contemplated some years ago by the Emperors Alexander and Napoleon. Yours, &c., , lon. Rules for Lady Printers. —l. Must be at i the office whenever required. 2.

Too Good to be Lost.— At a literary dinner in London, where Thackeray and Angus B Reach were visa vis at table, Mr. Thackeray— . who had never before met Mr. Reach addressed him as Mr Reach, pronouncing the name as its t orthography would naturally indicate “ Re l ack ’ Slr ~ Re -ack, if you please,” said Reach, who " j s P unc t>hous upon having his same pronounced . m two syllables, as if spelled Re-ack.

The foregoing reminds us of an anecdote we have heard of the famous Judge Dooly who fig ured in this State many years since. It is rela • ted that be was once holding Court at Lexing ton, Oglethorpe county, at a season of the year when tomatoes begin to be ripe enough for table use. The landlord with whom he stopped was very civil and accommodating; indeed, so assi duous was he in his attentions that he became 1 somewhat annoying to the Judge. He pressed first this dish upon his Honor, and then that, commending each in its turn as being very good! At length,taking up a dish of tomatoes, he called out to the Judge from the further end of the ta ble,and asked him if he would not take “some’ of the tomatuses.” “ No, I thank you,” replied the Judge; “ I’ll not take any of the tomatuses, but will be obliged to you for some of the potu ses r m. he answer of the Judge was soon followed by the sound of buttons falling on the floor.— bav. Rep., 22d inst. London Jukes and the United Statejs.— ! The London Times has a few sharp sentences on the adoration of the people of this country for titles. Unhappily, it , 8 tod true—as the hon orables, the excellencies, the generals, and ma , j >rs, and colonels, and captains, &c., &c. do de monstrate. Hear it: “No one could for a moment doubt that the i States are the most favorable market for aristo ! cratic pretentions. If a man with a handle to his name, as the vulgar phrase runs, feels that he does not get so strong a dose of adulations in Europe, as his heart would desire, let him spend a tew months among the citizens of the great Republic, and he will come back to Europe pre j Pff 1 . to su hside to plain John Smith, for the term ! ofhis natmal life.” Great Carelessness. —On Monday week the Legislature will convene in this place. Al- j i though three weeks have now elapsed since the . election took place for Governor, there are still . ten counties, we are sorry to observe, that have 1 not yet forwarded the election returns for Gov- * ernorto the Executive, viz: Morgan, Greene, 1 t flfyM, fcWliL whttfliW, BeUJtift Stewart and Randolph- it I* to be hoped that these counties will attend to tbl« liti portanfc matter immediately. Several counties that have made returns, have done so without giving a consolidated statement of the vote cast for each candidate in the county, as the law requires. This want of axactness in business detail should be allowed. — Milledgeville Recorder, 25th inst. auglistaTgaT THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27. DAILY AND TRI-WEERLY Constitutionalist and Republic. TERMS REDUCED. Daily, in advance, $6 00. If not paid in advance. 7 00. Tei- Weekly, 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 j Tri-weekly at $4,00 to all new subscribers, and i to all the present subscribers who pay up ar ! rearages, if any are due, and pay one year in ! advauce. Those Daily and Tri-weekly subscribers who I have paid in advance, will be duly credited at she old rates to the l=t prox, and at the new rates after that date. The increased facilities by mail lor Daily and Tri-weekly intelligence from Augusta, in every dit ‘otion, by the various Railroad lines leading , to this city, encourages the proprietor to make ; this appeal for increased patronage. It is only j by a greatly increased subscription list, he can i expect to be saved prospectively from the pecuni- I ary loss this reduction immediately entails upon him. He confidently relies upon the friends of j the paper to sus'aiu tais 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 lacilities for receiving it daily or tri weekly, it is unnecessary to argue. The claim of the Constitutionalist fy Republic to be consider ed such a Journal, is left to the judgment ot its readers and the pu.dic. The Proprietor relies upon the friends of the pa er in Augusta to obtain for it _ub increased city circulation. Remittances by mail are at the risk of the Proprietor. A Pleasant Party. One of the most agreeable little parties that ever crossed legs under mahogany, were assem bled at the United States Hotel in this city, on Tuesday evening last, brought together by an in vite from the worthy host, Dr. J. W. Spear. It was not premeditated, but gotten up on the spur of the moment, and like most parties of the same kind, gave an agreeable surprise to all present. Some fifteen or eighteen were seated around the festive board, and among the guests, the press was ably represented from New York, Charleston, Columbus and other cities.— Tne table was well supplied with edibles, taste fully —choice wines were bountifully furnished, and the merry song, the heart-felt sen timent, amusing story, and dashes of wit and wit icisms circulated freely, until an early hour in the morning, when the party broke up, not as stran gers, but with the warmth of feeiings character istic of old friends. We have attended many social festivals, but the one on Tuesday night will not soon be forgotten by us, and if we are not mistaken, by any one present. 1 he Fair. The excitement of the week is over—the con course dispersed, but still there are pleasing re collections left, not soon to be forgotten. We have heard complaints made against the officers and the various committees, whose duties were to make up and dispose of the numerous premi ums awarded. This was to be expected. In such a concourse of competitors, where the nicest scrutiny was required to do justice, unkind thoughts, if not harsh expressions, are expected and cannot be avoided. Every man thinks his wife and child perfection—he is not to blame tor so thinking—but if he submits his claim lor pre leience toanother, then there may be adilferencce of opinion. So with our Fair. Each competi tor exerts himself to produce an article which he thinks perfection, but when left to an impartial judge or judges, they may see in the haudiwoik of another superior excellence. All cannot get premiums- some must be disappointed. So far as our intercourse extended with the officers, we met with courtesy and attention; from one in particular, Mr. Charles B. Armstrong, of Macon, the Assistant Secretary, who extended to us every facility, for which we return him our thanks. He is a business man, and we hope the Society will secuie his services for the next meeting. Theatre. We feel pleasure in recording the continued success of Mr. Ciisp’s company. The audiences are lashioriable and large. The actors improve on acquaintance, and we, with many of our citi zens, wish they could prolong their stay. The established favorite and resident of our connty,Mr. Shrival,is announced for a few nights- This will prove a decided “card” to the mana ger. Mr. Shrival’s fame as a distinguished Tenor is so firmly established, and his audiences so nu merous, that Mr. Crisp could have formed no en gagement more pleasing to our citizens. An unusual treat is offered this evening. The admirable Burlettaof Rob Roy, with three of the leading characters supported, as in the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, by A \lr. Crisp as Rob Roy, Mr. Sbrival as Francis Osbaldiston, and Mrs. Crisp as Helen Maegregor. This speaks well for the atricals in Augusta. We look for delightful mu sic from Miss Jessaline and Mr. Shrival—legiti mate acting from *Mr. and Mrs. Crisp, Fuller, Buxton, and the other members of this popular Corps. Goe arly if you desire choice seats. Walter on Government. We have received from the author, James M. Walker, Esq , of Charleston, S. C , a “ Tract on Government,” comprising some sixty pages, is sued in neat style by Little, Brown & Co., of Boston. Mr. Walker’s previous efforts in his | essays on “ Common Law” and “ Civil Law’ hive been admired and appreciated as we learn by his professional brethren, and furnish evidence of much ability and research. The present little work, somewhat in the same line, shows the writers fondness for politico-philosophical investi gations, and will, no doubt, be hailed with inter est. Mr. Walker’s main proposition seems to be an attack on the “ progressive powers” of ihe General and State Governments, and in the re moval of such power he places the improvement and perfection of our system. A distinguished German scholar gives the pop ulation of Turkey in Europe, as being about 15,* 500,000, and that of Turkey in Asia, 13,700,000, making a total of nearly 30,000,000, about half the population of Rusda, and nearly equal to that of France, though vastly less compact than the last, StiJttfcu (*t Kimtm, $AV4i> §bm!9nm..»»A ccrrsipandefifc of the Newark Advertiser state® that Mr W. H. Webb a New 1 ork ship builder, (who recently started very suddenly for Europe,) has been authorized by the Emperor of Russia to build in New York a hundred gun ship, furnished with a stearn pro peller as auxiliary power, and to deliver her within reasonable time at St. Petersburg. Mr Webb, a year or two ago, conceived the idea of building such a ship, and his plan was submit ted to about a dozen admirals and high officers of Russia, by his agent, and was rejected, at the instance of the Emperor. A personal interview, however, was lately granted Mr. Webb, and the result is he has been commissioned to build the ship. The correspondent adds that the Grand Duke of Russia declared that the government had followed English fashions long enough. It is also said that the knowledge of Mr. Webb's contract has been a matter of great chagrin to various English parties who have been long ne gotiating at St. Petersburg for this object. Melancholy Affair. —The Washington Sentinel states that a few days ago, as Dr. Wil liam L. Warrington, of Essex county, Va., was entering the town of Tappahannock, a gun was discharged at him by a deranged man, named Fuller. The whole load took effect upon his head and side, causing his death in a few hours, k idler, it is said, intended to shoot a gentleman who had, a few minutes previous, been riding with the doctor. Inadequate Punishment.— The Philadel phia Ledger, noticing the fact of a man having been sentenced to five years imprisonment for placing obstructions on a railroad track, remarks truly that this crime ought to be punished with imprisonment for life, and the Legislature should so decree. There is no act in the catalogue of crime which shows more black-hearted malig nity, and none which is more likely to cause more wholesale slaughter. A villain who, to gratify purposes of revenge, will lay a trap which involves the lives of persons guiltless of any injury to him, is too much of an outly for society to allow ever to go at large. Foreign Postage.— lnformation has just reached the Post-Office Department, through the Bremen office, that the Post-Office Department of Prussia, of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Strelitz and of the Duchy of Saxony Altenburg> have reduced their postage to and from Bremen on letters to and from the United States, to the uniform rate of five cents, making the full rate of postage to and from those States, respectively, by the Bremen line of steamers, fifteen cents, instead of tweuty-two, the rate hitherto charged. Withdrawal of Public Lands from Sale. The Washington Union contains an official no tice of the withdrawal from public sale and pri vate entry, lands lying within fifteen miles of the route ot the proposed Railroad from Brandon, Miss, to Montgomery, Ala , in consequence of urgent representations in behalf of the interests of the proposed Road- This line ot policy has been adopted, to await the further action of Con gress in regard to a grant of the public domain in aid of the construction of said Road. Another Kosz ta Case.— A letter from Eu rope states that a man named Henry Von Oen sche was condemned in Prussia, in 1840, for an offence of the press, but fled to the United States in 1850, and got himself natuaralized as an American citizen* About a year ago he return ed to Hamburg on private business. He was arrested, given up to the Prussian authorities, and removed to the jail of Liegnitz, where he has since remained. He has applied to ican Legation for protection as a citizen of the United States.” Carpet for the President’s House— lt is stated that a gorgeous carpet has just beer, finished at Glasgow, Scotland, for the White House at Washington. It measures 80 feet long by 40 feet broad; the portion woven in the loom with out a seam being 72 feet by 31 feet; and the re mainder consists of a handsome border sewn on. The filling in of the carpet is a ruby and crim son damask, with three tasteful medallions in the centre, and a rich corner-piece to correspond. The medallions are filled up with boquets of flowers, designed and executed with magnificent taste. The entire piece weighs upwards of a ton and is valued at $2,500. The Pickens, S. C. Keowee Courier regrets to learn that Miss Mary McDaniel, in attempting to stop the mill of Elam Sharpe, Esq., on the 12th inst., was caught among the machinery and crushed to death. iheJuryof inquest return ed a verdict, that she came to her death by tk ac cident, by being caught between the cog wheel and tunnel of said mill,’' from which we presume no person was present at the time of the occur rence. The contractors under government for the im provement in Newark bay, commenced their work on the 19th inst., and the next day began the removal of the bar. The new light on the ISewark bay lighthouse gives good satisfaction, and consumes only about one-third the amount of oil necessary for the old oDe. The United States Mail Steam Ship Humboldt, Capt. Lines, left New York on Saturday for Southampton and Havre, with 190 passengers, and $681,484 73. Among the passengers are the Hon. Lewis Cass, jr., charge de affaires, the family of Gen, Dix, Capt. Wyman, U. S. Navy> and the Ravel family. Stocks. —Simeon Draper, Esq., advertises for sale on the 2d of November, Stocks amounting to $952,000, among which we notice $20,000 of the Bonds of the State of Georgia. Return of Foreign Ministers. —Among the passengers in the Atlantic, besides the Hon. J. R. Ingersnoll, late Minister to England, was the Hon. R. H. Bayard, late Minister to Brus sels. The Hon. Mr. Barnard,, late Minister to Austria, it is stated has taken passage in the Arctic, which was to leave Liverpool on the 19 th inst. Advance in Salt. —On the Bth instant, it is said that between 7,000 and 8,000 sacks of Turk’s Island Salt were sold at St. Louis at the ad vanced rate of $1 25 per sack. The article is reported very scarce in JNew Orleans, and the last quotations were $1 a $1 10. The Lost Valise Found.— The valise of Mr. Henry Davis, containing the $14,000 in money on the Exchange Bank of Richmond, which was stolen at Petersburg, Va., on the night of j e inst., was found on Monday at a spring not far from the place at which it was stolen. I ke valise had been cut open, and all the money taken out. The piles under London Bridge have been driven 500 years, and on examining them in 1846, they were found to be little decayed. Old .Savoy Place, in the city of London, was built 6oQ years ago, and the wooden piles, consisting of oak, elm, beach and chestnut, were found, upon recent examination, to be perfectly sound. Os the durability of timber in a wet state, the piles of a bridge built by the Emperor Trajan, over the Danube, afford a striking example. One of these piles was taken up and found to be pertri fied to the depth of three-fourths of an inch; but thf fWisfthgWMl w»a R®fc dii&tfti* ftm it* former itatf, though it had been drived 1000 years, MansfieLd's Rail Road Record publishes Some interesting particulars of the great tunnel at Cincinnati.

The next largest tunnel in the United States, which is on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, is 4,180 feet long. The width of the Cincinnati tunnel is 25 feet, and height 19 feet. Singular Mortality. —A singular instance of mortality in one family has occurred in Alle ghany city, Pa. A few weeks ago a sister died; on Sunday last another sister, a sweet young girl of eighteen summers, and the father were followed to the grave by a large number of friends ; on Monday, a brother died, and another sister is now lying at the point of death. The Catholic Bishops— Rt. Rev. Dr. Lough lin, Bishop elect of Brooklyn; Rt. Rev. Dr. Bai ley, Bishop elect of Newark, and Rt. Rev. Dr. de Goesbriar.d, Bishoh elect of Burlington, Yt. will be consecrated in St. Patrick's Church, in New York, on Sunday the 30th inst. The Nun cio Apostolic has accepted the invitation to per form the ceremony. Lumber in Maine. —There are now between 60,000 and 70,000 logs, valued at rising a mil lion ol dollars, lying on the west branch of the Penobscot, and for want of water cannot be got down. There are also about 150 rafts, making 20 cargoes, from five to ten miles above the city of Bangor, waiting- for a freshet sufficient to bring them down. Warrenton, Milledgeville & Macon Rail Road. —We are happy to say, (says the Mil ledgeville Recorder, of 25th inst.,) that the En gineer, Mr. Bonner, with his corps, is proceeding successfully with the survey of this road. The survey was commenced at Warrenton, via Spar ta and this city, and a third of the distance from Milledgeville to Macon is completed by this time. The crossing of the Oconee, and approach to and from this city, was found quite as favora ble as was expected, presenting no serious ob struction—the reflection to this point not vary ing more than five per cent.—or say, two and a half miles in fifty— from an air line. We feel anxious to hear as to the balance of the route. An incident in connection with this road has beeen related to us, which is worthy of repeat ing and of all commendation. It shows the light spirit. In running the line through Han cock, east of Sparta, the direction of the compass approached and cut off one corner of our friend Hardy C. Culver’s dwelling. He at that mo ment happening to step up and being so inform ed, promptly rejoined, Boys, do not vary it one inch: I can move my house if necessary.”— Such a spirit will accomplish anything.

The Vote for Governor, &c. After the most diligent investigation through all the channels witniri our reach, we are at length enabled to foot up the vote for Governor and Members of Congress. We have never seen returns so dilatory in coming in, and we are not now able to give the entire official vote for Gov ernor, as it is not endorsed on the back of all those in hand. Our investigation, as shown by the table, results thus: AGGREG ATE VOTE. Johnson, 44 343 Jenkins, 43,995—348-. Johnson’s maj. FOR CONGRESS.

The Long Agony is Over. —We have at last got the official returns from each precinct in Harris county, which gives Bailey in Harris county 385, and Trippe 620. Trippes’ majority in this county is only 235, which elects Bailey in the district by 5 majority. The returns from j , Harris county were not made according to law, but the Governor did not reject them.

Rives, Esq., his prospectus for “The Globe, the official paper of Congress, and Newspaper for the People”—in other words, the “Daily Globe” and the “Congressional Globe,” separately. Mr. Rives proposes a pretty small enterprise, but as he will be remembered as the efficient partner of F. P. Blair, in the “organ” of the Jackson era, he is probably the man to carry it out. Having succeeded in his purpose of per fecting the reports of the debates in Congress, and giving them the official stamp, he now pro poses to send them abroad, in connection with the news of the day, in such haste as shall out strip full and accurate intelligence >ent from the seat of Government in any other form whatever Indeed, Mr. R. “hopes to createanew era in the dissemination of news from Washington..’ The process by which this will be effected he lays before the public as follows: 41 1 will have a corps ot sixteen Reporters in Congress; each in succession will take notes during five minutes, then retire, prepare them for the Press, put them slip by slip in the bands of compositors, and thus, while a debate is going on in Congress, it will be put up in type, and in a few minutes after it is ended it will be in print. Thus the accurate debates of Congress will reach the cities two hundred and fifty miles from the Capitol before their daily morning papers are in circulation. “The miscellaneous news I shall be careful to gather from remote sections of the country by telegraph. I will obtain from the Executive Departments, through official sources, the matters of moment transacted in them, and through agents employed for the purpose, all the city news of consequence in sufficient time to be put into the Globe and mailed in the Express Mail trains.” The Congressional Globe and its Appendix are printed in quarto form, at $6 per year, and by a special law of Congress, are carried in the mail throughbout the Union free of cost. The Daily Globe will be issued at $5 a year. It will be as large as the Intelligencer of Union.— Balt. Sun. Narrow Escape. —During the blow yester day morning a tree in market square was blown down, and fell across a carriage in which a lady was sitting; the horse became frightened and would have run away, but was prevented by the weight of the tree. Fortunately the lady was extricated without injury. This case clearly points out the propriety on the part of our- city authorities at stated times, to examine the con dition of the trees in our streets and squares, and have all such removed as are in a dilapidated state. Every time we have a blow several of our su perannuated China and Mulberry trees are pros trated. Many of them have served their day and generation, and are now neither useful nor ornamental, but dangerous, and might be rooted up and their places be supplied by the more du rable oak, elm or olive.— Savannah Republican , ‘2slh inst. Loss of Brig St. Lawrence —The officers and crew of the St. Lawrence were brought into this port last evening by the brig W. H. Stew ard, Hooper master. We learn from Captain Fuller, ot the St. Lawrence, that she sailed from Georgetown for Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on the 17th, with a cargo of lumber. On the same day, encountered a gale—wind E. N. E.— blew heavily—found it nessary to cut away both masts. —sprung a leak, and soon made several feet water in the hold—all hands at the pumps— in which condition, they remained for three days, without water or provisions, when they were fortunately released by Captain Hooper, and brought to this port. When they left the St. Lawrence, she was fast going to pieces, and would be a total loss. She belonged to James Hovey, of Walderber, Maine, and was partially insured.- -Savannah Courier , 25 th inst. 1 Telegraphed for the Charleston Courier .] Baltimore, October 25. — Destruction byfire of the Fort Hamilton Hotel. —A dispatch from New York states that the Fort Hamilton Hotel was consumed on Monday by fire, and that the loss is estimated at $35,000.
