SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION OF GUANO DURING THE PRESENT SEASON. On the 29th of July, we paid a visit of in spection to the plantation of Rice Duiin, Esq., of Charleston. Thi- plantation is situated nine miles east of Newbprry Court House, and is now under a systematic course of improvement, which reflects great credit upon its liberal proprietor.— In our August number, we gave a sketch of the true “ farmer planter* 57 —we now have equally as interesting and necessary a character to deal with in the “ merchant planter, 55 who relies on rapidly increased and remunerating production by the aid ot a liberal application of Peruvian Guano. It may be as well to state that in our ride, we passed the plantations of Maj. R. B. Holman and Col. Jno. P. Kinard, and upon their chin quepin lands, saw admirable results from the ap plication of Guano to the cotton crop, their fields being unsurpassed for the season, and in a most luxuriant and prosperous condition. These lands were once regarded indifferent lor planting pur poses, but with the processes of culture resorted to by their present proprietors, they now stand high in value when estimated by their produc tive capacity. Mr. Dulin 5 s plantation was ori ginally fine and productive cotton land, abound ing in decomposed granite, and resting upon a good clay subsoil. Its loamy topsoil was conse quently well adapted, not only to the production of cotton, but small grains. It has, however, been much exhausted by injudicious croppings, and, like most plantations in South Carolina, the uplands are the u worse for wear 55 It is upon these exhausted lands that he has experiment ed on quite a large scale, by the application of Guano and plaster of Paris, both upon coin and cotton. In order to make the experiments a fair test, he has It ft and marked rows of cotton throughout the whole length of his fields, to which there was nothing applied. The differ ence in these arid the guanoed crop is most dis cernible—the former being small, pale green, and covered with curled leaves, showing the pre sence ot parastical insects, and promising to yield not more than 300 pounds of seed cotton to the acre. The portion to which the Guano and plaster were applied, was large luxuriantly dark green, covered with bolls, and, with a favorable autumn, would promise, to judge by appearances, at least 1500 pounds to the acre. Upon the corn there was not much perceptible difference in that manured with Guano and that to which a liberal quantity ot cotton seed had been applied, with the exception that the former was about two weeks nearer maturity, evidently showing that it is a rapidly forcing application to cereal crops. Mr. Duiin has also made experiments with plaster, African Guano, Salts, and common Salt, but that to which the two latter were applied exhibited but little percepti ble difference Irom the portion on which no manure was used. Plaster, however, he thinks about as good for cotton as common stable or compost manures. iThe African Guano was of no value whatever. On the oat crop, the most marked difference was made manifest by the application of guano. We saw in a very poor field, the soil of which was completely exhausted, and not hing left but a glady substratum of pipe clay and mica, a sin gle breadth upon which Guano was applied, and whilst the rest of the field showed from the stub ble that the crop was not worth gathering, this portion.attests the value of this fertiliser by its rank and thick stubble, which Mr. Hopkins, the efficient overseer, toid us grew as good oats as he woutd desire to harvest The Guano was applied to the cotton at the rate of SO pounds to the acre, well mixed with 100 pounds of plaster, and sown in the drill.— The cost of this application was, all told, tour dollars per acre. Corn received a spoonful to the hill. We observed that a fieid of rich bottom land had received its dose ot Guano—and though this land was deep alluvial, and, to the eyes of most planters, would require no manure at all, with good seasons, to produce 40 or 50 bushels ot corn per acre—still the spirited “ merchant plan ter” determined to see the difference in the pro duct on made by this application, on rich as well as on exhausted lands. There was a very mark ed difference in the color of the corn, as well as in its luxuriance and general forwardness, over that which bad received no Guano. Whilst upon low lands, we took great pleasure in observing the very extensive operations of embanking in progress on this plantation. There is now fin ished about a mile ol Jevee, twelve feet high, with a thirty foot base, which when completed, will protect several hundred acres of finfe alluvial swamp land from freshets; and all this will be done at a cost of at least five thousand dollars.— The reclamation of our low lands, and their pro tection from lreshets, should be an important consideration with the people of South Carolina. We were much pleased to see several hundred acres of stubble land sown in peas broadca-t, much of which is to be laid down in wheat, manured with Guano, in the fall. This is a sys tem of reclamation seldom resorted to or prac tised on a cotton plantation. On this plantation four hundred acres of cotton are planted, and from six to tffght thousand bushels of corn an nually raised. Mr. Duiin sent one thousand bush els of wheat, early in the season, to New York, for which he received $1.38 per bushel—which fine price was realized in consequence of its be ing the earliest wheat in the market. We have rather a singular product to chronicle, which may ► startle some of our planters, and when we tell them that fourteen bushels of large Globe Tur nip seed were gathered on this plantation, twelve ol which were shipped to New York tor a mar ket, they will be surprised. We asked for a few ot these prolific turnips, and found in our caniage upon staiting only a half bushel, which we have ; partially distributed with much satisfaction 5 amongst our neighbors. A fine stock ot hogs and lowing cattle, attested that the live-sto«Tk department was also well attended to. All the experiments with Guano on this plantation will be carefully noted, and the investigations which we intend to make, in connection with Mr. Du iin and Judge O’Neal as a committee to report j to the Newberry Agricultural Society on the ! value of this and mineral manures, we Lope to be able to show from the results most fuily and conclusively, their relative and practical value. When a merchant can thus take time from ex tensive commercial pursuits. to devote a portion of his energy lothe improvement and increased production of the soil, tt is really high time for those who have been brought up to till the soil, and who arrogate to themselves superior wisdom and skill, to bestir themselves les they be dis tanced in the race. Energy is the main spring to success, and in this instance we have a most laudable example of its application to a most praiseworthy purpose—that of setting a good pat tern, and of breaking down prejudices by ma nuring the barren soil from which they spring. Tiie Horses in the United States—The | Boston Transcript says: The first horse brought into any part of the territory at present embraced in the United States, were landed in Florida by Cabeca de Veca, in 1527, forty-two in number, all of which perished or were otherwise killed. The next importation was also brought to Flori da, by De Soto; in 1608 the French introduced ' the horse into Canada. In 1609. the English i landed at Jamestown, in Virginia, having seven ! horses with them. In 1629, Francis Higgerson I imported horses and other domestic animals in the Colony of Massachusetts Bay. In 1625 the Dutch Company imported horses into New- Yotk. In 1750 the French of Illinois were in possession of considerable numbers of horses. According to census returns for 1850, there were 4,235,358 horses in the United States, ex clusive of those in cities, which were not re turned. The four and a half millions of these animals in the United States, constitute a pro- ; portion of one to fiv&of the inhabitants. New- j 1 ork has one horse to seven persons; Pennsyl- ! Yania. one to six and six-tenths. Ohio, one to : four; Kentucky, one to three free inhabitants. — j In Ohio and the new States of the North-west, the increase of horses has kept pace with that of the population. The number of horses in the United States is more than three times as large as that in Great Britain. A recent report in France, shows that sbere are in that country 3,200,000 horses. Considerable Balloon Journey. A man named Elliott went up at Baltimore in a balloon on the 26th ult. and came down safely at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He gives an interesting narrative of his air voyage in the Baltimore Sun, from which we extract the following: Well 1 was away “in the welkin” almost with a bound as I left the enclosure, and there l a y the city, flowing into the shining Patapsco as it were, but rapidly diminishing in its beau titul proportions. Gliding away to the east of north,! passed nearly over the grounds of the Agricultural Society, and the picture was that of a child’s toy—men and animals being reduced to the diminutive scale of playthings. Instead of 2000 feet, as you suppose, I was nearly 4000 feet high when I first discharged ballast, and the bal loon immediately responded with a leap, and I rose several hundred feet in a few seconds. I now encountered a current of air which bore me with increasing swiftness a point more east and soon passed over the vicinity of Bel-Air Looking back upon Baltimore I could iust dis tinguish the city, a mere Lilliputian affair at the end of a silver thread—the Patapsco—for I could not see the water, beyond. At about this time I experienced a rushing of wind from below, and the lower part of the bal loon became violently agitated. I at first thought I was rapidly descending, but there were no other indications that way, and I was fast approaching the Susquehanna at Havre-de- Grace. In another minute my attention was ar rested by a taint, hoarse shriek from below, and looking down, alter a careful perusal of the beautiful miniature world, I perceived a locomo tive and train of cars dashing along the railroad, the whole affair resembling a series of cigar boxes, with something in front puffing away at one of she cigars. I was almost on the same track with them and left them behind. At this time I began to think seriously of ex tending my trip to New York, making fast to the dome of the Crystal Palace, and taking a look in upon the statuary folks, the Hippodrome, Barnum and other curiosities. But my ambition was alarmingly repressed by the discovery of a rent in the lower part of the balloon and the odor of gas about the car. The wind, too, was very stiff, and the agitation of this part of the aerosfal incessant. I had heretofore been enjoying the beauty of the scene below, diversified by wood, and arable land, and river and bay, all in most exquisite ar rangement and detail. The forests especially, were richly decked with the varied hues pecu liar to the decaying foilage of the season, and I thought how fair a panorama was presented for the artist s pencil. But a new and more inti mate subject now occupied my attention and fixed my watchful gaze. The rent in the balloon gradually extended upwards, and I began to estimate the probability of making a descent of three miles with very in convenient haste. At every flap of the wind’s rude wing, the silk responded with a “ rip,” and I tell you that was no place to “ let ’er rip” for me. I observed, however, at length that the rent had reached a cross seam, and this I hoped would stop it, and it did—ir. that direction. But the slapping wind was still at work, and away went the silk along the seam. By this operation the gas escaped pretty fast, and on looking below I saw that I had already accom plished a good portion of the descent. A new feature, however, now engaged my attention, in the snow which overspread the earth. As I neared the ground I became aware of the extreme velocity of my flight, the fields actually flying away beneath my feet. My grapnel presently caught the root of a tree stump in the field, but the hook was pulled straight by the force of the balloon. The car swept against the branches of a tree, the balloon dasbing on at al most a straight line before me, now striking the earth and rebounding, or ricochetting at leaps of one or two hundred yards, over an immense corn field, in which the stumps of the stalks were just visible above the snow. At length, after knocking down a number of corn shocks in the field, I was brought up against a fence, and the rails flew, but I made fast. The difficulty was over, but my misfortunes were not. Some farm hands come to my assist ance, and in the attempt to invert the position of the baiioon, so as to turn the mouth upwards for the escape of the gas, the oaliooi actually es caped from the netting and plunged madly into the sky, sweeping away before the gale for New Yotk, or “ Cowes and a market.” My country fiiends enjoyed this impromptu ascension ; I did not. I was on the west bank of Octoraro creek, having travelled in all between seventy and eighty miles in an hour and ten minutes. A drive of eight miles put me on the railroad, and here I am. Yours truly, George Elliott. Baltimore , Oct. 27, 1553. Araerioan Competition with England. A writer to whose compilations the Times gives space and a conspicuous position, has taken more than one opportunity of enlarging upon a competition with which our merchant are threa tened in India and Asia, on the part of Ameri can traders. The ships of the United States ap pear on the Mekran coasts, as well as at Kutch, Muscat, and other places, with various articles, which they barter for the produce of those coun tries, the American commodities being princi pally a certain coarse cotton fabric which they call sheeting, and dollars. The Americans ap pear to enjoy a particular advantage over our traders—that of conducting their barter individ ually, in ships, which are independent, floating, pushing shops, instead ot working by routine through large establishments at Bombay; and thus they not only save expense, but in each par ticular transaction secure the largest amount of profit. Another advantage they have is expressed by the political Agent at Kutch, who says of the sheeting, that it ‘ finds acceptance among the people of the country, because it lasts longer than the cloths imported from Bomby. This in dicates the true force of the competition which we have to dread from the United States. If America can cut us out in India, where we occupy the entire country with our Government and com merce, the ridicule and the disgrace would be greater than any which the most anti-commer •cial country has incurred. But there is something in this superiority of tissue over the manufacturers in England The comparison is not made for the first time, nor only in cotton sheeting. It is repoited from the .Hudson River Railway, that British iron rails become in a worse condition within twelve months than American rails within a number of years. There may be exaggeration in this; but we have had complaints of our rails from our own official and scientiic investigators, who have declared the bad make of our iron to be a frequent source of accident. At the last meeting of the Sheffield Cutlers, the Master Cutter declared that American cutlers were cutting them out in knives ; knives of American make being preferred to ours, because the material does not give way under use as those of Sheffield are sometimes found to do. In short, notwithstanding the sharp practice and hasty habits of America, they are in some of trade earning the repute for sterling stuff and make which used to be our own; and if we suffer them to w’in that reputa tion from us altogether, then indeed we shall have lost more than if India were annexed to-morrow. — London Examiner. A little incident occurred several days ago— not important to be sure, but yet pleasant enough to be mentioned. A gentleman, while conver sing with a friend in his office, was complaining that he had several notes to meet, and could not imagine where the money was to be procured { for that purpose, he having been disappointed in | his caluculatiwns. Just about this time a small ; girl came near the door. She was poorly clad, , and carried in her tattered apron a tew chips, and I was on her way to the place which she dignified } with the name of “ home.” She was bare foot j and her ankles were as red as beets. The friend | remarked to the gentleman, “there's a chance for the exercise of your charity. Buy her a pair of shoes, and before night you’ll get money enough to pay your notes.” The gentleman, not hesitating, accompanied the girl to a shoe-store, and purchased her a good pair of shoes. She' thanked her benefactor, and then skipped away, with a light heart rejoicing: while the benevo lent gentleman participated largely in the joy which his generosity had produced on the object of his sympathy. Before the lapse of an hour, as his friend had predicted, several persons called to pay the gen tleman money; and he received not only a sufficient amount to meet its obligations, but had more than enough remaining to buy a pair of boots for himself Washington Sentinel. Bartholomew Szemere, the Hungarian patriot, publishes a card denying the allegation that he had informed the Austrian authorities of the hi ding place of the Crown Jewels. * AUGUSTA, GA. FRIDAY, MORNING, NOVEMBER lIT We received no papers by last evening’s mail from offices north of Charleston. Success of Mr. and Mrs. Crisp in Savannah. We are gratified to learn that Mr. Crisp’s Company met with a warm reception in Savan nah. Ihe receipts for the three nights, amount ed to one thousand one hundred and sixty-four dollars. At Milledgeville, we learn, hundreds v. ere turned away. He will give a performance in this city on the 19th inst. We understand that the notes of the Bank ot Newberry, S. C., are redeemed at the Bank of the State of South Carolina. Ihe Official Gazette of Savoy states that an inhabitant of Chambery has just quitted that place to attempt, in concert with a company or ganized for that purpose, to save some contents of the vessels which were sunk at the battle of Navarino, particularly the admiral’s ship, a three decker, which, it is said, had on board at the time she went down, a sum of six millions of francs in gold. All the necessary apparatus has been embarked, a number of divers have been engaged, and in addition to the ordinary diving bells, all the recent inventions for such purposes will be put in requisition. A company has been formed, says the Spring field Republican, with a capital of $400,000, by several solid men ot Springfield, Boston and New York, to purchase the entire property of the Indian Orchard Canal Company, where, in ad dition to Cotton, they are to manufacture flax A Cotton mill to employ 400 or 500 hands, is nearly prepared to go into operation in that place. The Hon. Geo. M. Dallas has addressed a let ter to Geo. Sumner, Esq., disproving the ridic ulous and absurd stories told by Miss Bremen relating to certain incidents reported to have ta ken place at St. Petersburgh, between a brother of Hon. Charles Sumner and the American Min ister at that court. Sword Fish. —A gentleman near Boston, made a fishing excursion to Edgarton, Martha’s Vineyard, on the Ist inst. While there, a sword fish was killed by a man, with an oar, in the river, near the wharf. It was supposed he would weigh nearly 300 pounds. The sword was from 2to 3 feet long. This fish is consid ered very good eating, and tastes like halibut. They are occasionally sent to New Bedford and Boston, where they are considered a great deli cacy. Fishermen go out in boats for them, and sometimes catch a dozen in a day. Delegates to the General Conference.— The V irginia Conference on Wednesday procee ded to the election ol Delegates to next Gener al Conference, to be held in Columbus, Georgia, the first of May, 1854. The following minis ters were declared: John Early, David S. Dog get, Anthony Dibrell, H. P. Cowles, Wm. B. Rowzee, G. W. Laughborne, Wm. A. Smith, Leo. Rosser and L. M. Lee. Catholic Bishop.— .At St. Petei’s Cathedral, Cincinnati, a few days ago, ti e Rev. George Carroll was ordained Catholic Bishop of Coving ton, Ky., and the Rev. Dr. Baraga, Vicar, Apos tolic ot the Northern Peninsula of Michigan.— The Archbishop of Cincinnati was the consecra tor, assisted by the Bishops of Milwauki and Detroit, and the Bishop of Louisville preached the sermon. The Log War, to which we alluded some since, still continues on the Susquehanna river and its branches. A meeting wa3 lately held in Centre county, Pa., at which a committee of for ty was appointed to prevent persons from float ing loose logs in the Mushaunon creek. The question seems to be as knotty a one as that about the gill fishermen. Fighting Candidates.— -At Carthage, Miss., last week at a public discussion, a fight took place between Col. McCung and Mr. Singleton, rival candidates for Congress. McClung kicked Singleton, causing much excitement. Friends interfered and separated the belligerents, when McClung proceeded with his speech. Submarine Telegraph. —A project for a submarine telegraph between the United States and Ireland has been brought into the English market. The capital required is $1,500,000 or $2,000,000, but the state of money just now, it is said, renders it doubtful if the scheme meets more than a cool welcome. Wild Cattle in Texas.— On the Colorado and its tributaries wild cattle, in large numbers, are still found, notwithstanding the spread of civilization into the Texan wilderness, and fre quently they get among the tame animals, and occasion much difficulty. By the late arrival from Europe we learn the fact that the Austrian government ha 3 signalized itself by a backward step in civilization. It has restored disabilities which the barbarism of the middle ages imposed upon the Jews, and which were only removed by the revolution of 1848. The Austrian government seetns determined that no benefit shall accrue to any class of its subjects Irom that revolution. Hereafter, the Jews in Austria are forbidden to hold real estate in their own name, but all-property of that de scription to which they lay claim, must be re gistered in the name of Christians. Judge Grier and the Frkksoilers. —The Freesoilers of New York have a resolution be forejthem looking to the impeachment of Judge Grier,for his words and actions in the late Wilkes barre Slave case in Philadelphia. The resolu tion appoints a special committee to memorial ize the House of Representatives of the United States upon the subject, to take such furthur ac tion in the premises as will secure a hearing in that body on this subject. On motion of John P. Hale, the resolution was laid on the table till Wednesday evening, when there will be a full meeting. T. he Cuban Aci’Rkntick System Plot. The Union publishes an extract from a letter dated Cuba, Oct. 26. supposed to be written by the U. S. Consul at Havana, which say# that when the new Captain General arrives the ap prentice system will be proclaimed. The wri ter also says, that instead of thirty or forty thousand, it is contemplated to import one hun dred thousand African apprentices. He adds, “if carried out, I will quit the island with the full conviction that soon after we shall have another St Domingo.” The Methodists of the United State# have made admirable provision for the education of their pastors. They have already eight first class colleges, with property and funds amounting in the aggregate to $494,063, another is projected in Missouri. They have also forty-six theologi cal academies and seminaries, in twenty-nine of which there are 4.936 students, an average of 178 students to each seminary. The oldest of their colleges is at Wilbraham, and was founded in the year 1830 by the Rev. Wilbur Fisk. Since the discovery that the wheat crop would be short, about 10,000.000 bushels of breadstuff* have been imported into France; half this amount by the ports of Havre and Marseilles alone. Important to Stock-Drivers. —The Supe* rintendent ol'the W. &A. R. R., has made an arrangement to run an Express Train from the 10th inst., under the following schedule : Leave Chattanooga at 10 o’clock, a, rn., daily; arrive at Dalton 3:23 p. in., and leave 3:42. and arrive at Atlanta 2:56 am., in time to deliver to day trains on connecting roads. The new democratic Governor of Vermont, in his inaugural address, takes strong grounds against the Maine Liquor Law, intimating that the Legislature transcended its powers in enac ting it, and that it is tyrannical and inoperative, as well as in some respects unconstitutional. Lawrence City, Mass., i 3 taking measures to secure for its citizens a public park of ten acres, on the summit of a hill fronting the thickly settled part of the city. In St. Louis, the same subject being in agitation, Mr. George R. Taylor, has offered to sell to the city two different parks on very moderate terms. One of the jurors of the Martha Washington case on trial at Columbus, Ohio, has the mumps, and occupies a sort of bed behind his brother jurors, which by no means adds to the appear ance of dignity that generally surrounds a high court and its appendages. The Rhode Island Legislature has just ad journed; its only public acts were, an Act mak ing railroad companies responsible in damages for loss of life through carelessness, (amount not stated,) and an Act calling together the consti tutional convention. Moses and Robert Kelly were executed at Hawesville, Ky., on the 28th ult., for the mur der of three men, Alexander Gardner, James Miller and Francis Holt, on a flat boat near Troy, Ind., about one year ago. They fully confessed the commission of the crime for which they were executed. The Chattanooga Advertiser of the 7th inst. says: The weather is truly very fine, and our farmers are taking advantage of it in seeding wheat and rye, and gathering in their corn and other autumnal crops. The corn crop in this section is very large. We should not be at all surprised if it sold this season as low as 25 cents a bushel at this point, and lower where it is more inconvenient for transportation to market [Correspondence of the Const. & Republic-] Milledgeville, Nov. 9, 1853. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Senate. —The Senate met pursuant to adjourn ment. On motion, it was resolved, that two hundred copies of the rules of the Senate be printed for the use of the members. A message was received from the House in fo-ming the Senate of their organization by the election of officers. Mr. Singleton, of Lumpkin, then offered a resolution that a committee be appointed on the part of the Senate, to join such committee as may be appointed by the House, to inform his Excellency the Gevernor, that both Houses of the General Assembly are now organized, and ready to receive any communica tion he may have to make. Messrs Singleton, Mosely and Cone, were appointed that com mittee. Mr. Bogges moved that both branches of the General Assembly convene in the Representa tive Chamber, on Friday, the 11th instant, at 10 o’clock, a. m., to proceed to the election of a Comptroller General, Surveyor General, Treas urer and Secretary of State, for the next ensuing two years. Mr. Cone moved to amend, by ad ding Solicitor General of the Coweta Circuit, Judge of the Court-of Oyer and Terminer, Sa vannah, and a Director of the State Bank of the State of Georgia. The resolution with the amendment was adopted. It was then moved by Mr. Miller, that editors, and others, who re port proceed!nngs for newspapers, be allowed seats on the floor. After the adoption of this resolution, the Senate resolved, that in addition to the Standing Committees, the Chair appoint the following committees, to-wit: State of the Republic, Judiciary, Finance, Internal Improve ments, Public Education and Free Schools, Banks, Penitentiary, Printing, Lunatic Asylum and Deaf and Dumb Asylum. The Governor’s Message was then received and read. It was then moved that 200 copies be printed for the use of the Senate. After the reading of the Message, the Senate received from the Executive Department the sealed packages, supposed to contain the returns of the votes cast at the late Gubernatorial election, which were ordered to be transmitted to the House. The Senate adjourned until 3 o’clock and short ly after that hour repaired to the Representatives Chamber. The President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House, then proceeded, in the presence of both Houses, to open the packages and count out the votes. H. V. Johnson’s ma jority over C. J. Jenkins was found to be 510. Gov. Gilmer received 5 votes and Judge Berrien 1 vote. The Senate repaired to their chamber, and, on motion, the following committee was appointed, in union with a corresponding corn mi tee, on the part of the House, to inform the Hon. H. Y. Johnson of his election to the office of Governor, ask his acceptance of the same, and inquire at what time he could, conveniently take the oath of office : Messrs Green, Hull and Clark. After which the Senate adjourned. House of Representatives. The House met pursuant to adjournment. The House was engaged during the morning in the adoption of the following resolutions : By Mr. Harrison, of Chatham, it was moved —That editors and reporters of newspapers be permitted to occupy seats on the floor. By IVt/. Latham —That a committee of three be appointed by the Speaker to examine the gallery, and have temporary supports prepared by to-morrow. By Mr. Strother—That the House adopt the rules of the House of 1851, and that 150 copies be printed for the use of the members. . On motion, the Speaker appointed Messrs McDougald, Pottle, McClain, Reynolds and Hawkins, to unite with the committee of the Senate, in waiting on the Governor. The Message was received and read, after which it was moved by Mr. Clark, that 150 co pies be printed. The House adjourned until 3 o’clock. Mr. McDougald introduced the iollowing bill: An act entitled an act to alter, change and amend, the third section of the first clause of the con stitution ot this State, by striking out “ bienni ally,” and inserting in lieu thereof “ annually.” Read for the first time. Mr. Pottle, ot Warren, moved, that on Friday the House enter into the election of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Savannah, and of Solicitor General of the Coweta Circuit. The House received the Senate for the purpose ot counting out and adding up the vote for Gov j ernor. After the members of the Senate retir ed, the following committee was appointed by the House, to act with the committee of the Sen ate in informing Judge Johnson of his election : Messrs Clark, Harrison, Stapleton, Cleveland and Redding. The House then adjourned, it. More Blocks Received. —The block of mar ble from Rome, and that from Mount Vesuvius, the latter inscribed “ Win. Terrill, Geo.,” in tended for the Washington Monument, have been received.— Star. Macon and Warrenton Railroad. The Macon Messenger of the 9th inst., says: I The preliminary survey of a route for the pro posed Railroad from Warrenton to this city, was completed on Monday, and Mr. Wm. G. Bon ner, Esq , the Engineer in charge, and his corps of assistants, returned on the evening train to Milledgeville. The route surveyed passes by Sparta and Milledgeville, and is seventy-two miles in length—and shorter than any tra velled route between the two points. It pass es the Oconee at Milledgeville, and runs through the northern part of the city, crosses Fishing Creek near the Macon road and west of Oglethorpe University—runs to the head-waters of Camp Creek, crosses Walnut Creek one or two miles above the Central Road and reaches the Ocmulgee at a point w'ithin the city limits, and near the lower line of the Ceme'ery. Tba country through which it passes is rough and broken, but more favorable lor the location of a Railroad, than was at first anticipated. Let the Legislature grant a liberal Charter, and the Ma con and Warrenton Railroad will be built. The Athens Banner of the 10th inst., says:— The Synod of Georgia adjourned last Saturday. The deliberations of the body were marked by a spirit of harmony and brotherly feeling. Bus iness engagements prevented our attending, and have not been able to get the proceedings for publication, as promised in our last. There were many distinguished divines in attendance, and our citizens have enjiyed some intellectual treats from them, during their short sojourn. The following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved , That the thanks of the Synod of Georgia be presented to the Railroad Companies who afforded facilities to the members of their body, in attending their present meeting. The New York Herald’s Washington corres pondent, furnishes an outline of what is believ ed will be the leading features of the Presi dent’s Message. It is supposed that the Presi dent will iecommend : 1. Non intervention in European affairs. 2. Reduction of the Tariff, probably including salt, coal and iron. 3. Advert to the Cuba question. 4. Recommend some reform and retrenchment in the ocean mail steam ship service. 5. Recom mend steam additions to the Navy. 6. Present a favorable aspect of the post-office operations for the past year. 7. Suggest various things for the benefit of our frontier Indians and frontier settlers, including a territorial government for Nebraska. 8. That he will take a safe and cau tious position on the question of the Pacific Railroad. 9. Recommend a liberal policy of reciprocal trade between the United States and Canada. Africanization of Cuba. —The Tribune has a special dispatch, stating that— “ Information has been received from Havana, from a reliable source, confirming the reports re lative to the British apprentice scheme to Afri canize Cuba. The writer is sure that arrange ments to effect the scheme are more extensive than before reported. It is the subject of gener al discussion at Havana. The writer i 3 confi dent that we shall soon have confirmation from Europe, and that proclamation of the treaty will be made in Havana by the new Captain-Gener al, now expected fhere. The writer also anti pates another St. Domingo tragedy. Instead of thirty thousand apprentices, it is now said that one hundred thousand are to be contracted for and imported. The Administration fully credits this report.” On the contrary, the Courier & Enquirer’s special correspondent regards the whole affair as a mare’s nest, without any eggs in it. Two hundred and fifty-seven tons of Puruvian Guano, part of the cargo of the derelict ship Harkaway, were sold by the U. S. Marsha! at the stores on Union wharf, yesterday, at $31.25 per ton. There, are, we understand, about five hundied tons more to be disposed of, and the sale will commence again this morning, at 11 o’clock, arid continue from day to day until the whole cargo be disposed of, closing each day at one o’clock. The Harkaway, with her tackle, apparel and furniture, will be sold at the North East corner 1 of the Exchange at eleven o’clock this morning. — Char. Courier, lOlhinst. There is a difficulty in Savannah among the firemen, and “ The Savannah Fire Department” has disbanded—to take effect early next month, i The company was an association of citizens, who officered the city engines, which were worked by gangs of negros. The difficulty arose as we learn from a friend, in consequence of “The Oglethorpe Fire Company”—which is an i independent association, owning and manning their engines—objecting to coming under all the regulations of the Fire Department. Whoever was in the wrong—and some say the honors are i easy—it is pretty certain that Savannah will > soon be without a fire organization, unless a new one be formed. We have no doubt, however, that a new one will be formed, as at a meeting of the Fire Underwriters of Savannah, held on the 7th inst., at which fourteen Fire Insurance Companies were represented, it was resolved that they would not issue or renew at existing rates, any Fire Policies to expire after the tenth day of December next, on any property withiu the Corporate limits of the city of Savannah, unless in the meantime a fire department, ade quate to work efficiently all the appaiatus be longing to the city, be established on a perma nent basis.— Charleston Courier, 10 th inst. We received no telegraphic despatches yester day, as the line north of Cheraw went down about /our o’clock in the afternoon. It is sub posed that it has been cut, as, it will doubtless be recollected, that on the last two or three occa sions a European steamer has been due it has gone down very mysteriously. We trust that our Legislature at its approaching session will increase the punishment for this misdemeanor, so that the offenders, when detected, may re ceive their deserts.— Char. Courier, 10 th inst. Incendiary. —We learn that the Gin-house of John U. Whitesides, Esq., of Rabbit Town val ley in this county was destroyed by fire a few days since, together with the cotton it contained and a quantity of wheat. It is believed to have been set on fire by some persos or persons whose object it was to rob the house, but in this they were disappointed.— Jacksonville (Ala.) Republi can, Bth inst. California One Hundred and Fifty Years Ago. —The following description of this country as it was a century and a half ago, ia taken Irom the published transactions of the London-Royal Society, from 1700 to 1720, and printed in the year 1731: “California, the Peninsula, has been known nearly two centuries. Nor do I doubt that there are mines to be found in several places if they were sought for, since the country n under the same ! degree as the provinces of Sinaloa and Sonora, where they are very rich ones. Heaven has been so bountiful to the Californians, that the earth brings forth, of itself, what it does not produce elsewhere without a great deal of labor and pains; yet they make no esteem of the plenty and of the riches of their country, con tenting themselves with what is only necessary for life, and take little care for the rest. Parts of the country are very populous. They are a lively people. “The climate is healthy. In the valleys, ex cellent pasture, at all times, for great and small cattle, fine springs, wild grape vines; as it abounds in fruit, it does no less in grain, of which there are fourteen sorts that the people feed on. They have plenty of red strawberries, of which they eat plentifully. Their citrons and water melons are of an extraordinary size. Most plants bear fruit three times a year. We bro’t ; with us from New Spain, Indian corn, wheat, i peas, lentils, &c. We sowed them, and had a very plentiful harvest, though we had no cattle or proper implements to till the ground. We brought some cows, and store of small cattle, as sheep and goats, but our necessities obliged us to kill part of them. We likewise brought with | us horses and colts to stock the country, and we 1 began to breed up hogs; but as they do much damage in the villages, and the women were afraid of them, we have resolved to extirpate j them. The climate is so mild that the men go naked, and the women wear an apron covering fc from waist to knee.” J The Cadets of tf*e Georgia Military Institute, passed through this city } esterday. en route for the Capitol, where they will remain until Fri day. They were escorted from the Depot to the Floyd House, by the Mf|gon Volunteers and I< loyd Rifles, where they were hospitably en tertained. . T hey leltin the evening train tor Milledgeville. They numbered about 110 in ranks, and will create at Milledgeville, as they did here, a very favorable impression ot the effi ciency of our Millitary Institute.— Macon Mes senger, 9th inst. Gas—A Revolution in Kitchen and Parlor. The New York Mirror speaks quite confident ly of the success of an invention patented by Mr. John Power of that city, for the economi cal use of gas in warming houses and cooking victuals. It says: The modus operamli is perfectly simple. The common gas pipe is tapped at any point, an In dia rubber tube is attached by means of an in genious coupling, composed in part of the same material, (for which Mr. Power has also a pat ent,! through which the gas is conducted to a small iron plate—not much larger than one’s hand—that forms what may be called the stove. This plate is filled with perforations, containing asbestos, which concentrates and diffuse* all the heat. The computation made by the inventor goes to show that a small office might be heated for the trifling sum of fifteen cents a day In credibly small as this appears, we confidently believe that it will cover the whole expense, though we have not demonstrated this by actual experiment. Admitting, however, that a much larger amount will come nearer the truth, the advantages of the invention are obvious. ’ For lawyers’ and similar offices, where it is desira ble to avoid the dust, dirt and trouble of a coal fire, to say nothing of the expense of keeping an attendant, it is peculiarly adapted. A man can enter his office in the morning, turn on the gas, apply a match thereto, and the fire is instantly started, and by the time he gets comfortably set tled down to his desk, the room will be warmed. We shall soon be able to give our testimony as to the economy and utility of the heating part of the invention. Os its complete success in cooking we can speak with a confidence founded upon careful observarion and repeated experiments. We have eaten meats cooked by this new process, and can vouch for their fine flavor : as for the ex pense, we can speak with mathematical precision having carefully computed the cost with Mr. Power and the President of the Brooklyn Gas Co. To cook 3 lbs. of mutton chops takes just 10 minutes of time, and costs only i of a cent; to boil a kettle containing half a gallon of wa ter, occupies exactly 12 minutes, and consumes less than a cubic foot of gas. To get up a break fast ot four dishes, say one for meats, a second for coffee, a third for potatoes, &c., and a fourth for eggs, or whatever else you please, will cost only 3 cents, and can all be done within 15 minutes. If any of our readers are skeptical on this point, they can easily satisfy their curiosity by a visit to Skinner & Power’s Gas Works, Fulton street, Brooklyn. The gas pipes are tapped,and the connection with the cooking apparatus made in the same way that we have described for heating. Fifty dishes can be cooked at the same time, it desired. A fine iarge turkey was roasted at the Astor House the other day by this process, and those princes of caterers, Messrs. Coleman & Stetson: pronounced this new mode of cooking the most complete and successful in its results that they had ever witnessed. The days of stoves and cooking ranges are numbered. The use of gas i 3 to form a part of our domestic economy, and the kitchen will become an attractive place. L Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun] Philadelphia, Noe. 6.—Fugitive Slave Case. —A fugitive slave case was brought yesterday afternoon before Judge Thompson. It appears that Edward Huddlefort of Georgia, had brought hither his slave, named Shelly, and that the Ab olitionists had enticed him off. Another party of Abolitionists, not knowing that the slave had disappeared got out a writ of hebeas corpus, which was served on the master, who replied that the slave had been sick, and he had brought him to the Noith for his health, and that he had ran off some days since. He was not now in his custody, and was not desirous that he shoulif return, being a most unprofitable servant. The case was thus ended without the agitation of the great question of constitutionality.
