BY GEOBSE D. PRENTICE. ’Tis midnight’s holy hour, and silence now Is brooding like a gentle Spirit o'er The still and pulseless world. Hark !on the winds The bell’s deep tones are swelling—’tis the knell Os the departed year. No funeral train Is sweeping past—yet on the stream and wood, With melancholy light, the moonbeams rest Like a pale, spotless shroud —the air is stirred As by a mourner's sigh—and on yon cloud That floats so still and placidly through heaven, The Spirits of the season seemed to stand; Young Spring, bright Summer, Autumn’s solemn form, And Winter with his aged locks, and breathe In mournful cadences that come abroad Like the far wind harp’s wild and touching wail, A melancholy dirge oer the dead year; Gone from the Barth forever. ’Tis a time For rnemoTy and for tears. Within the deep Still chambers ofthe heart, a spectre dim. Whose tones arc like the wizard vo.ee of lime, Heard from the tomb ot Ages, points its cold And solemn finger to thj beautiiul And holy visions th&- bare passed away, And left no shadow of their loveliness On the dead waste of life- That spectre lifts The coffin-lid of Hope, and Joy and Love, And, bonding mournfully above the pale Sweet forms that slumb&r there, scatters dead flow ers Over what has passed to nothingness. The year Has gone, and with it n any a glorious throng Os happy dreams. Its mark is on each brow, Its shadow in each heart. In its swift course It waved its sceptre o’er the beautiful, And they are not. It laid its pallid hand Upon the strong man—and the haughty form Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim. It trod the hail of revelry, where thronged The bright and joyous—and the fearful wail Os stricken ones is heard, where ’erst the song And reckless si. out resounded. It pa sed o'er The battle-plain, wheresword and spear and shield Flashed in the lig-it of mid day—and the strength Os serried hosts is shivered, and the grass, Green from the soil of carnage, waves above The crushed and mouldering skeleton. It came And faded like a wreath of mist at eve; Yet, ere it melted in the viewless air, It heralded its millions to their home In the dim land of dreams. Remorseless Time — Fierce spirit of the Glass ana Scythe—what power Can stay him in his silent eourse, or mere His iron heart to pity ! On, still on. He presses, and forever holds his fierce career, Dark, stern, all pitiless, and pauses not Amid the mighty wrecks that strew his path, To sit and muse, iike other conquerors, Upon the fearful ruin he has wrought. 1 Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.] Two Weeks Later from California. Steamship Northern Light, H. Churchill, com mander, from San Juan del Norte, arrived at New York on Saturday with 526 passengers, and $1,500,000, in specie on freight, to C. Morgan. The Northern Light left San Juan on the 16th inst., at 12 o’clock, M., with 526 passen gers and $1,430,910, in specie on freight, and a large independent mail with advices Irotn San Francisco of the Ist inst., bringing the passen gers and specie through Irom Sail Francisco to New York in 22 days and 18 hours—from San Juan in 8 days. The Northern Light connected with the steamship Sierra Nevada, Captain Baldwin, w hich left San Francisco on the Ist inst., at 12 o’clock P. M. with 687 passengers, and $1,500,- 000 on freight for New Orleans and New York. She arrived at San Juan del Sud on the morning of the 14th inst. The transit of the passengers and specie across the Isthmus occupied 35 hours. On the 20th inst., Mrs. Gary gave birth to a fine boy, weighing 15 lbs., which was chris tened John Nicaragua by Father Gallagher, of San Francisco. A Bremen brig, with 200 emigrants for Costa Rica arrived at San Juan de Nicaragua. An English brig of war was going into the harbor as the steamers left. The Northern Light encountered a severe gale of wind from N. W., from the North of Cape Hatteras, which lasted 18 Lours. The specie list by the Northern Light is con signed principally as follows : Duncan, Sherman & Co., $260,000; Bergoyne & Plume, $320,000; Drexei & Co., SBO,OOO ; Wui. Hoge & Co., $46,- 000; Am. Ex. Bank, $306.000; Adams & Co., $227,092; Wells, Fargo & Co., SBO,OOO, with other sums, making in all $1,430,910. The shipment of treasure per stermship Win field Scott, Dec. Ist, via Panama, was $804,871, of which was consigned to Adams & Co., $261,- 000; Page, $204,000; B. Davidson, $11:5,200, Wells, Fargo & Co., $75,144. Summary of California News.— The Gol den Gate arrived at San Francisco, Nov. 10th, the Sierra Nevada and Uncle Sam on the ■ 17th, bringing an unusually large number of passengers. The expeditions fitting out in California for the purpose of exploring the auriferous regions of the Amazon seem to have made no progress, and the excitement has in a great measure died out. On Friday, previous to the steamer’s sailing, the State was visited by a south-east gale, which did some damage in various parts ol the State. Ram fell copiously for several days, causing a ► great rise in the mountain streams. Geo. W. Hall, convicted of the murder of an unoffending Chinaman, is sentenced to be at Nevada, on the 30th of December inst. Among the deaths in California is Aiphonso Brooks, of Virginia. Also, J. S. Bowman, ot Pennsylvania. Another prize fight between Allen McCloud aDd.Richard Shaw,lor s2.ooo,cameoff in George town, El Dorado county, on the 27ch ol No vember. Twenty rounds were fought when Shaw was declared the victor. Wm. M. Vinton, late cleik to Capt. Chase, on board the storeships Mayflower, Gold Hunter and Rhode Island, was drowned at San Francis co on the 23d of November, by accidently fal ling overboard. The Mines. —The past fortnight has been a very unfortunate one lor the miners. The rain has filled the gulches and raised the rivers, and the works ot the dry season are closed. The diggings in the river beds have been aban doned, and in many cases valuable dams, flames, &c., have been swept away, although the rise has not been great. The miners now look back upon and count their profits and loses lor the last six months. The shipments show that undiminished amounts of gold have been produced, yet many of the diggers complain that they have spent much money in canaling, machinery, Ac., and have made little. The flumes which have not been carried off are being taken down to be used next year. The miners are pretty well prepared for he winter, and it it be tavorable the golden har vests wilt be richer than ever. Some miners having no good prospect for the winter are preparing lor next summer. Canals, to be finished by June, have been commenced on the North Yuua, Middle Yuba, and Nortn Fork of the American river. Many similar enterpiises have been planned, and they will havea very important effect on the prosperity and produce of the mines. New diggings have been foun * in a number of points, but nothing extensive. Near Minnesota, in Sierra county, the tunnels pay very well. A lead 200 leei wide, evidently once the bed of a stream, has been found under a mountain, and 600 feet above the level of the Middle Yuba, near by. In tbits lead are lound tbe remains of trees, some rotten, others petrified, others changed in to a mineral resembling sulphate of iron. Several valuable quartz veins have been open ed in El Dorada; and some discoveries have been made in Calaveras which, it is thought, will raise the latter to a high position among the quartz counties. Oregon an» Washington Territories.— Advices from Oregon and Washington Territo ries are two weeks later, to Nov. 14. Immigrants by the new route over the Cas cade Mountains have suffered very severely. The Pacific Mail. Steamship Company had re solvsd upon removing tbeif terminus from Fort, land to St. Helen’s. There had been renewed troubles with the In dians, of South California. Gov. Stevens was expected at Glympia, Wash ingtan territory, on the 10th of November, and would immediately organizs a territorial govern ment. Commander, Allen, of the U S. surveying stea mer Active, reports having arrested the princi pal Indians engaged in the disturbances in Wash ington territory. Genera! Lane is said to be pledged to a division of the territory. Sandwich Islands. —Two weeks later intel ligence had been received from Honolulu, viz: to Nov. 5. During the fortnight ending on that day, 112 whalers had arrived at Honolulu; Lahaina and Hilo. Owing to the fear of the small pox, which had been at Honolulu, an unusually large por tion of the fleet have made Lahaina ‘.heir depot. The whalers arriving were all American, ex cept three Bremen, three French, and one Rus sian. Eighty-seven whalers remained at Hono lulu on that day,and 15 merchant vessels. The small pox has abated at the port of Hon olulu, but still lingered in the rural districts of the islaud. During the week ending Nov. 5 there were new cases in Oahu, with 101 de .ths; and five new cases were reoorted at Hawaii.— Total number of cases reported to Nov. 5. 6051; the total number of deaths for the same period, 2295. Total number of persons vaccinated at the vaccine establishment at Honolulu, up to Nov. Ist, 2946. Ti e political ferment in the islands had com pletely subsided. The policy of a system of free trade now occupied the attention of the papers and piincipal men. Georgia and South Carolina Railroads We find in the Savannah Republican, of the 15th inst., the Annual Report of R. R. Cuyler, President of the Cential Railroad and Banking Company, of Georgia, which gives a very flat tering exhibit of the affairs of that Company. The gross earnings of the Road for the fiscal year ending on the 30th uit., were $917,082 34, and the aggregate expenses $407,733 64, show ing a nett profit of $509,348 70. The earnings ot the Road as compared with those of the pre vious year, have fallen off $28,425 94, (which is accounted for by the shortness of the cottou crop, and the delay in sending it forward, by the reduction in th. Company’s rates of transporta tion, &c , &c., but at the same time its nett pro fits have increased $1,722 90. The clear pro fits of the Company from Bank and Road, for the last year, have been $570,710 48; it has de clared a dividend of 8 per cent., and it still has a Reserved Fund of $322,398 95. We take from Mr. Cuyler’a repoit the follow ing extracts, concerning the proposed Macon and Warrenton Railroad, and the probable direc tion, in the luture, of the through-travel, accom panying the great mail, which will be interest ing to our readers at this time: The Post Office Department intends, in the course of a few weeks, to transfer the great mail from the Wilmington steamers to the Wilming ton and Manchester Railroad. The discontinu ance of the Wilmington steamer line will, doubt less, soon lead to a termination of the mail con tract existing between the Government and Brooks and Barden on the Charleston and Sa vannah route. The New Orleans mail, from Washington City, will enter the State of Geor gia at Augusta, and Savannah will receive her mail byway of the Augusta and Waynesboro’ Road and the Central Road. The mail commu nication between this city and Charleston will probably be carried on byway of Augusta, un til some shorter Railroad route is established. There is promise of such shoiter route in the undertaking of the city of Charleston and citi zens of South Carolina, to build a railroad from Charleston to Savannah. Application has been made to the Legislature of Georgia lor a charter to cross the Savannah River above this city, and to enter our town with their Road. It is be lieved that no objection will be made to the grant of such privilege. Application has also been made for a charter to cross the Savannah River near Sister’s Ferry, with a Railroad lead ing directly from Branchville, $. C., to' th# city of Savannah, and no objection is seen to the grant of this privilege also. Either of such roads would give to the cities of Charleston and Savannah a shorter railroad route than through Augusta, and it is reasonable to expect that one or both of them will ere lone be established. The thoroughfares of travel by Railroad, ac companying the great mail, will be over the Wilmington and Manchester Road, passing Charleston no nearer than'Branchvilie, and pas sing Savannah no nearer than Millen—the point of junction of our Road with the Augusta and Waynesboro’ Road. It is important to this Company, and to this section of Georgia, that the'upper y.l miles of the Central Road should be part, at least, of the great thoroughfare. Sa vannah, contributing largely to the building of the Waynesboro’ Road, and to the Road from Columbus to Opelika, (now under centract and in piogress.) calculated that there would be two lines of travel across our State—one from the Montgomery Road, byway of West Point and Atlanta to Augusta, the other from Opelika en the Montgomery Road through Columbus, Ma con and Waynesboro’, to Augusta. These two lines of nearly equal length would be sufficient to answer the public want and expectation in regard to through travel. A project, however, has been set on foot to build a Railroad from Macon through Milledge ville t<> Warrenton, and it is believed that it meets the lavor and aid of the Georgia Railroad Company, and the city of Augusta. Such a line, whilst it could in no wise compete in respect of freight, with the Central Road, would take the through travel from Macon away from the up per part ol the Central line, and thereby prove injurious to our interests. The policy of this Company, in the absence of such a line from Macon to Warrenton, would be to remain con tent with the communication byway of Waynes boro’, but if fund* be provided to build the War renfon Road, it cannot be expected that this Company will make no effort to counteiact its influence upon our work. On our pait no ob jection has been or will be made to the estab lishment of the Macon and Warrenton line— Railroads will doubtless be multiplied, and the public may receive advantage thereby, whilst the fate ol share-holders may be different. The upper 111 miles of the Central Road can be mr,de the thoroughfare of travel, beyond com petition by the Macon and Warrenton route, by maiding a Railroad from Millen across Savannah river to Branchville. A line Irom Branchville to Millen, would be of immense advantage to the public generally— it would be ot great advantage to Charleston by placing that city much nearer to Macon, Colum bus and New Orleans—would receive the lavor ot the Wilmington and Manchester line, and prove beneficial to this section of Georgia. If neither the road from BranchviUe by Sister’s Ferry to Savannah, or from Charleston direct to Savannah be built, this line from Millen to Branchcille would prove serviceable as the means of communication between the cities of Charles ton and Savannah. In vie wof the effort of the Georgia Railroad Company and the city of Au gusta to establish the route from Macon to War renton, the Board recommends that appilication be made to the Legislature for the right to build a Branch Road from Millen to the northern bank ol Savannah river in a direction towards Branch ville. The Board is satisfied that the great in terests involved in such a line would lead to the joining ol that branch to the South Carolina Roads at Branchville. A Young Lad* Burned to Death. —The editor of the Mad Anthony, at Greenfield, Ohio, gives the particulars of a terrible tragedy in that place on Saturday evening, resulting in the death ol Miss Sarah Hector, a talented and highly re spectable young lady, who has been engaged in teaching a select school. She had been boarding for some time at the Buckeye Hotel. It seems she was subject to severe attacks ot headache, for which she was in tha habit of using chloro form. Upon the fatal evening, she is supposed to have taken an over quantity, and sitting be fore the parlor fire under its effects, she fell for ward, the sleeves and bosom of her dress instant ly catching the blaze. The fall aroused her, and she screamed for help. A young man belonging to the house, flew to her assistance, led her into the hall, and lan for water. While he was ab sent, she rushed screaming into the back yard, her entire person being enveloped in flames.— By this time the whole neighborhood was aroused, and the portions of her burning clothes were torn from her. She was carried in a faint ing condition to her room, and divested of the remnant ot her apparel, to which portions of the skin and flesh adhered Upon examination she was found to be terribly burned, with the exception of her face. Oiled cotton was applied, but she suffered unutterable anguish until to- ! wards midnight, wb*n sh# became v#ry easy, remaining in this state until about 7 o’clock on Sunday morning, when she expired. The de ceased was a young lady of good scholarship and fine intellect. Had flour been applied to the burns instead of oiled cotton, she would have suf fered comparatively little pain, and, perhaps her life might Lave been saved. A Vermonter. As we were sitting in the picture gallery of the Crystal Palace, taking memoranda of its contents, a tall ill-dressed Vermonter, attracted piobably by the benignity of our visage address ed us: “ Stranger, what mought they charge to let a feller in this ’ere show ?” “ Why do you ask : you paid at the entrance, did you not ?” ‘Ya-a-as! I didn't pay nothin’; es yew see anythin’ green ’bout me, jest yew write, will yew ?” “ How did you gain admittance then ?” Wa-a-all, yew see I traded with a boy out there for a Herald,and gin him an extra cent to holler ‘fire!’ and when the man with the brass thing on his coat looked around, I kinder edged in behind him.” Os course we expressed our indignation, and were about to leave him, when he seized our but ton hole, saying quickly: “ Say, Mister, don’t be riled, guess they’l never miss it. Yew talk so all-fired honest, guess yew must be a newspaper feller; been takin notes, aint yew ? I’ve heard ’bout this short-hand.” We assented ; and he resumed : “ Might yer name be Greely, Mister ? because I seed a nigger wench looked jest like a few gitive nigger; and es she is, it’s a bully chance lor yew to spread—won’t cost you nothin’ nurth er.” We denied i/iai imputation, when he contin ued : " I allers like newspapers chaps 'cause they are so clever. Been in the fine arts myself; taught school three winters—eighteen dollars a month and boarded ’reround. We next stopped to view the fine specimens of peifumery, among which were busts made of solid so up. “ Hullo!” said Yankee, nosing the goods “ guess these is made of gravestun, aint they ? “ No, they are made of soap.” Before we could prevent him, he had pinched it to satisfy himself. “Wa-a-all, guess it is, it feels soporiferous, any way; smells rael epocryphal tew. don’t it? jest like old Mr. Slocum’s ’pothecary shop tew hum.” A few steps brought us to the statuary, where a number of persons were silently gazing at Powers’ statue of the Greek Slave. “ Mister,” said he, after a moment’s inspec tion, pointing to the chains upon her wrists, “ what's that critter hoppled for ?” The bystanders roared; and we endeavor ed to explain to him the nature of the subject; and, to prevent him from handling it as he was bent upon doing, pointed to the placard request ing visitors “not to touch the articles.” “ Dont touch the articles 1” repeated he, “ Why, she ain't got the first darned article o» her P’ We left.— Journal of Commerce. Female Vanity. —ln spite of being fifty-four years of age, the Dowager Princess of East Friesland was much handsomer than ladies are wont to be at that period of life. She was well aware of it, and neglected none of the innocent arts ol the toilette to preserve her charms. In her wardrobe she had more than two hundred dresses, and it afforded her the greatest pleasure to continually change her attire. Her wardrobe always accompanied her wherever she went. Du ring a visit she was paying to the Duke of Celle, at his chateau of Bruckbauson, in 1592, a violent pain in the heart suddenly attacked her, which the physicians declared was mortal. On her in quiry, they informed her of the impossibility of effecting a cure. She prepared for death like a Christian ; but as soon as the clergyman had quitted her room she ordered all her Isdies’- maids round the bed, and arranged her toi lette with the greatst accuracy. She was dressed in her best linen, and a white dress shot with black; had her hair arranged, and her handsomest head-dress put on. All was most carefully selected,down to the white gloves. She then uttered her last wishes, among which she expressly ordered that no surgeon should lay his hand upon her. She had her coffin lined with white satin, and placed in a room. Her greatest apprehe ision was lest the jolting of the coach, in which her remains would be borne home, might disarrange her position and dress; and only a few minutes before she felt the approach of death, through the coldness of her extremities, she most earnestly entreated her attendants to take care that she was properly laid in her coffin, and securely fastened down, that nothing might be disturbed. Could any one be more consistent in vanity, in the presence of death? Anecdote of Btxon.—l heard an anecdote that evening of the poet, which was very charac teristic, and quite new to me. When at Pisa, his lordship found itdifficult to keep up his prac tice with the pistol on account of the objections of his neighbors and the municipal regulation of the place. He, therefore, by the aid of a small gratuity obtained permission from a farmer in the vicinity to shoot at a mark in his paddock. On the occasion of his first visit to the premises, the peasant’s daughter a very pretty contadina accosted him in the usual manner ofjher country. She wore in her bosom a freshly plucked rose with two buds attached to the stem. Byron sportive ly asked her to give him the flower. She hesi tated and blushed. He instantly turned to his companion and rehearsed in English a very na tural tale of humble virtuous iove bitterly con trasting the apparent loyalty of this fair rustic with women in high life. Then with perfect seriousness he again asked for the rose as a token of sympathy for an unloved exile. His manner and words moved the girl to tears. She handed him the rose with a look of compassion, and si lently withdrew. This aroused his latent su perstition. He was lost in a reverie for several minuted, and then enquired of his friend if he remembered that Rousseau confessed throwing stones at a tree to test the prospects of his future happiness. The flower was devoted to a similar ordeal. It was carefully attached to an adjacent pale, and Byron having withdrawn several paces declared his intention of severing one of the buds from the stalk atone fire. He looked very carefully to his priming and aimed with great firmness and deliberation. The ball cut the bud neatly ofl and just grazed the leaves of the rose. A bright smile illumined the poet ; s countenance and he rode back to Risa in a flow of spirits.— Diary of a Dreamer. Sewing Machines. —One of that much abused arid more bemoaned class of females who eke out a scanty living by stitching pantaloons for two shillings a pair, procured a sewing machine, and in a single day finished sixty pairs and earned fifteen dollars. It is true it was an extra day’s work, in competition with another girl who used a different machine, and the patentees, who were interested in the result, gave her special facilities; but it shows what can be done, and how one phase of the seamstress question is likely to be disposed of. The strenuous efforts which some have been making to raise the compensation for such work, to what is called ‘‘a fair living rate,” may as well be abandoned at once. It is an unwise benevolence that attempts to thwart the world's progress, instead of conforming to it. It is certainly painful to see suffering around us that we know not how to relieve; but it is more judicious if such be the cause, to acknowl edge it, than to waste strength in endeavors that we know beforehand will be fruitless. There are, however, other remedies, and of a practical kind, for the suffering of this class to which we have referred.— Journal of Commerce. “Wear and Tear” of Bank Notes. —The State Bank of Indiana recently addressed circu lars to the various banks of the country to ascer tain, as near as possible, the gain to branks of issue by the loss of circulating notes, through a series of years. No very satisfactory returns were made, but in two instances they elicited the following lacts : The Catskill Bank, in thirty years, with an average circulation of $200,000, as this amount has not been returned in ten years. Tfie Merchants’ Bank of Baltimore, in forty-seven years, with a circulation ranging from $300,000 to $600,000, averages about $428,- 000. Bills issued between the years 1805 and 1830, have now outstanding after a lapse of at lvast ten years, $26,fc90, being an annual average of SBOO. The large average, however, was caused by the loss, at one time, of $15,000 in notes. We presume the losses to the public by the mis management and roguery of banks would average somewhat larger !—lll Reg. District Sale.— At the recent sale of the estate of Mr. C. Floyd, deceased, property of every kind brought excellent prices. Negro boy* from i 9 fa 1$ years ©hi, brought *9OO to SIOOO, Negro men from 20 to 22 years old SI4OO to SISOO. One family, (woman and three children,) $3200. Corn ranged from 69 to 92 cts. per bushel. There is steady firmness in prices, in the District, and a disposition rather to ad vance than otherwise. If these are indications of prosperity, Newberry is on the high road to foitune. —Newberry Sentinel. AUGUSTA, GA. THURSDAY MORNINQ, DECEMBER 29. See first page Daily, this morning. Recess of the General Assembly. Below is the Message of Gov. Johnson, on re turning, with his signature, the Joint Resolu tion providing for a Reces3. It is contended by some that the signature of the Executive was not necessary, to make the Resolution valid— that it was competent for the General Assembly to take a recess without it. We give no opin ion on this point; but as the Resolution was sent to the Governor for his signature, he had an un questionable right to express his views as to the propriety of the step. This was a privilege each member of the Legislature had enjoyed, and each one exercised it in the vote he gave for or against the Resolution. The Governor did not think the stepan expedient one, or called fi r by the public interest. To have vetoed the Resolu tion on this opinion, would have been a harsh and discourteous exercise of his prerogative, and he did not feel that the occasion would justify it. Yet, to have signed the Resolution without a word of comment, might have been to place himself in the false position of approving what he conscientiously thought inexpedient and un wise. This much we feel constrained to say, because was taken at the Message on the score tha 4 : it assumed to lecture the members as if they were a set of school boys. No such purpose, we believe, was intended. This circumstance again illustrates the policy of annual sessions. We will, in fact, practically have, lor 1853 and 1854, annual sessions. For several consecutive years past, we have had in this way annual sessions. Why not then let the people, each year, elect the Legislature that is in session during that year? Executive Department, ) Milledgeville, Dec. 20, 1853. j To the House of Representatives: The resolution providing for a recess of the General Assembly, from the 21st inst., until the 9th ot January next, having been presented to me for Executive approval, 1 have signed it, in mere deterence to the wishes ol the Representa tives of the people. I believe it to be Constitu tional, but 1 most respectfully differ with the Legislative Department as to its expediency. I see no great public interest to be promoted by the recess, and I capitally doubt its wisdom, be lieving, however, that the veto power should be resorted to only to protect the Constitution, and to check hasty arid dangerous legislation, I do not withold my assent to the resolution upon questions of mere expediency. It is safest for the Executive to defer to the wisdom of the Legislative Department unless a different course is demanded by strong public considerations. These views are respecttully submitted, as ex planatory of the reasons which influence my concurrence in the resolution for the recess. Herschel V. Johnson. New Rail Road Project. The abstract of the annual report of the President of the Central Railroad, will be found in another column. That report, contains a sug gestion of a Railroad from Millen on the Central Road to Branchville, S. C. This is a mere bluff to the Warrenton and Macon Railroad project, vox it preterea nihil. Such a road would not pay There would be neither freight or travel, or both combined sufficient to justify the outlay. Nor would the Stockholders in the Central Road be willing to invest their funds in building such a road in order to get the mail and the through travel on 111 miles of that Road—or rather fora chance to get it. Nor would the undertaking by the Central Railroad Company of such a project tend much to enhance its stock. It would in fact knock it down far worse than would the building of the Macon & Warrenton Road. There will be, we presume, no opposition on the Georgia side to the application lor a charter of a road from Millen to the Savannah river, in the direction of Branchville. If any Georgians desire to spend their money in building such a road, let them do sc. It may benefit citizens on and near the line, but it would be rather poor stock—and what trade it carried to Charleston would be just that much subtracted from Savan nah. Christinas Dinners. Many fine dinners were served on Christmas day in this city, and no doubt they were enjoy ed by hundreds of merry and thankful hearts. Many luxuriated injmore dainties than fell to our lot,but no one probably sat down with more zest) to his fatted Turkey than we did ; for to give greater relish to the occasion, Messrs. Dawson & Skinner sent us a fine, juicy old Virginia Ham, and a canister of fresh English Peas. The lat ter had lost somewhat of their luscious spring flavor, but furnished a most acceptable addition to our winter store of vegetables. We were indebted too to our friend John Cash in for a superior bottle of Falkirk Ale, and Thayer & Butt had supplied us as a Christmas present, with a of Raveliy Segars, put up in tin foil, with one of wfyieh we quieted our nervous system into a state of delicious tran quility. It was a pleasing reflection, that edi tors are not forgotten on such occasions. Campbell Minstrels. The performances to-night, at Concert Hall are for the Benefit ol Mr. Newcomb. A* the Campbell Minstrels, have so often put their audiences in a good humor, the latter should re turn the compliment to one of the leading mem bers of the company, by a full attendance. The result will be mutually pleasing. The War New*. The Charleston Courier has the following in addition to the telegraphic news from the seat of war in Eastern Europe, published by us yes terday : “This is one version of the story. The most probable statement, however, is that the Turk ish fleet consisted of only three frigates, which were protecting the transports carrying the re inforcements for the Turkish army in Asia, “Prince MenschikofF left to convey the in telligence of the Russian victory to the Czar. “The main body of the Turkish fleet was in the Bosphorus. “The Turks have completed fortifying the coast along the Black Sea. “On receipt of the news of the engagement, | vessels were immediately sent out by the allied fleets to take a position in the Black Sea. “It is reported that Persia had resolved to march an army against the Turks, and that the British Charge d’Affaires had left Teheran on that account. “it is stated that Selim Pacha and the Circas sian chiet Schamyl surround Woronzoze on all sides, nearTetlis. “The Mohetnmedans in Asia are coming from all quarters to assist the Turks. “The tone of the English press towards the Russians is very menacing, even the London Times leans towards the warlike side of‘the question. “The Spanish Government, having been de feated in Cortez, a Royal Decree was issued suspending its sessions.” Monument to Webster. —The New Eng land Society had a meeting at the Astor House New York, on Thursday, to talk over raising money to build a monument to Webster. Some 1 of the gentlemen (among them Mr. : Fessenden) i bitterly opposed the movemeuf, on the ground | ot Mr. Webster’s advocacy of the compromise j measures.

No ac cident resulted from his negligence, but it was thought best to make an example. Another ex ample has been made by the coirectional tribu ne. of Poitiers. A collision resulting from neg ligence occurred, and two inspectors of the first class, a signal man and porter, were accused of being the direct cause of it. The first has been sentended to 1500 francs fine, and two years’ im prisonment; the second to 1,000 francs fine and one years’ imprisonment; the two others to one year and to six months’ imprisonment, and to 300 trancs fine each. The managing director of the line is made civilly responsible for the fines and costs. Five Hundred Dollars Reward is offered by Messrs. J. T. and D. A. McLeod, and A. M. Horne of Sumpter county, Ga., for the appre hension of Giles, a negro man, owned by Joel Walker of Milledgeville, and who recently com mitted a brutal murder upon the person of Nor man E. McLeod of Sumter county. Giles is abaut 6 feet high, a little copper colored, 35 or 40 years ot age, walks a little stooping, and weighs 190 or 200 pounds. Onr Governor. The Editor of the Cassville Standard, writing to his paper from Milledgeville, thus notices Gov. Johnson: “ Gov. Johnson had a private party a few eve ning since which we regret not being able to attend, on account of a previous engagement. The guests consisted of some thirty of the mem bers of the Legislature of both parties. Such en tertainments will be given until all the mem bers are invited. We understand the Governor made himself quite interesting and entertaining on the occasion,—indeed, we think he is improv ing wonderfully in his efforts to be pleasant, and we should not be surprised that he soon becomes personally a very popular man, and that he real ly does not lack the power to please, which some of his friends have deplored. We know him to be an honest,generous man, and so we think the people of Georgia will find him.” The bill repealing that section of the Code' which prohibits the circulation of small bills of the banks of other States in Alabama, was or dered to a third reading in the House of Repre sentatives ol that State, on the 18th instant, and it will doubtless become a law. Death of Major Allen Little. —Major Allen Little died suddenly at his residence near this city, on Friday morning last. Major Little was one of our oldest and most esteemed fellovr citizens. For more than forty years he has been a resident of the county; and during his long life bore the character ot an honest man and kind neighbor. On Thursday night he sat at 1 tea with his family as usual—his health had been impaired somewhat by previous attacks 1 from the same malady that caused his death— Chronic Diarrhoea; but he was apparently well on the evening alluded to. Thus, in a few short hours, he passed from life and friends, to eternity. Major Little was in his 70th year. Federal Union , 27 th inst. The La. Paz Fillibusters and the Mexi cans. —It is stated that immediately upon the receipt at the city of Mexico of the doings of the Filibusters at La Paz, the English Minister, Mr. Doyle, placed the English war steamer Driver at the disposal of Santa Anna, with directions to seize any vessel in the least degree suspicious.— For this interference and for other officious in termeddling, rumor says, Gen. Gadsden, the U. S. Minister, had given him some severe whacks over the knuckles. The New’ Orleans Picayune avers that the expedition was freely furnished with funds by leading Mexicans; and that the Caroline; the schooner on which they embark ed, was owned in the port of Guayamas, by Mexicans, and sailed under Mexican colors. It is said the expedition has a strong corps de re serve in California, which will join it at the ear liest moment. The celebrated Count Boulbon is supposed to be the piime mover in the affair. The Governor of Sonora had issued a proclama tion declaring that all foreigners embarking with out permission of the authorities, and forming themselves in armed bodies, and all captains of vessels and others who shall assist such bodies, will be considered and treated as pirates. Despatches received at Washington from Mex ico, it is said, leave the impression, that no dif ficulty with Mexico will grow out of this expe dition. We see it stated, however, that the go vernment is uneasy about the affair, and tele graphed to New York on Monday to detain the California steamer, but the despatch ivas re ceived too late. The object was to order a na val officer to proceed to Panama, charter a steam er, procure a crew, sail for the Gulf of California in search of the schooner having on board the Fillibusters, and capture the men and carry them to California for trial. It is feared, it is said, that Santa Anna will capture and summarily execute them, which would inflame and make Fillibusters of all California, and possibly pro duce another Mexican war. [Translated from the Courier des Etats Unit.] Nelville Soule and the Duke of Alba. Extract from a letter of F. Gaillardet, dated “ Paris, Dec. 1, 1853. "Apropos of the women of America, you have undoubtedly heard of the unpolitene3s of which one of the most graceful and worthy among them has had cause to complain at Madrid. I refer to Madame Soule, wile of the Mini ter of the United States. She was present with her husband and son, at a ball given by the Marquis de Turgot,on the 15th of November, in honoi of the Empress of the French, when the brother in-law of the latter, the Duke ol Alba, made a jemark, as incomprehensible as it was unbecom ing, as to the toilettol Madame Soule, which, by the way,was the work of Palmyre, the Parisian dress-m-'ker of the Queen Isabella herself. It seems tha‘ the Duke of Alba thought ill of Ma dame Soule having a dress high in the neck whilst all the ladies of the court of Spain wore dresses more or less low in the neck, and he had said aloud, ‘there goes Margaret ot Burgundy.' Just at this moment, Neiville Soule was passing near, and, hearing the insult done to his mother treated the grandee of Spain as a puppy. There upon, great disturbance ensued. Mr. Soule im mediately led off his son; but the latter, the next day, sent two friends to the Duke ol Alba, charged to "-squire ot him satisfaction by arms or a written apology. The Duke at first refused either reparation, under the ridiculous pretext of there being a political difference at the founda tion of the affair; but, according to report, pub lic opinion having unanimously declared itself against him—which ia not at ali strange in a country renowned lor the chivalric respect which it has at all times shown towards beauty the Duke ended by excusing himself with good grace, and acknowledging the wrong. In this he acted handsomely; but the honor of the af fair, nevertheless, remained with Nelville Soule, who had the advantage ot performing the part of a filial Rodrigeuz.” Good Sense Fashion. —The N. Y. Times, in the course of an article under the head ol “ A Column of Talk for Young Men on Small Wa ges,” has this plain and sensible paragraph on the subject of dress: “ Then as to dress—it is a great nonsense to say that all must dress fashionably oi loose caste. What is the fashion ? Who wears a fashionable coat, and how do you know it is the fashion * Tell us ot one substantial merchant, one thrifty mechanic, one successful lawyer, or one gentle man who wears it, and we will name ten of each, equally noted and successful, who do not, and ten fops whom you utterly despise, that do.’ The fashion in New York for men just now, re quires a clean, decent garment, and no patches on it—no more, no less. A lady might wear her grandmother's shawl in BroaJway, and not be noticed. The timid ones and those just in from other cities and villages, alone are worried about their looks when they wear last winter’s , bonnet to the lecture or to church. Let the ! young imitate the substantially and common sensible, rather than those who are keeping up appearance at a sacrifice. It will be a saving in this item.” BY TELEGRAPH Charleston, Dec. 28—p. m. Cc’iton. — The market is uncharged.

Orville Clarke, conveying the pleasing intelligence that he had made arrangements with several heavy capitalists to procure the necessary funds to pro secute the work on the Galveston and Red River Railroad. The San Antonio Western Texan says that the prospects for heavy crops of cotton and sugar on the Colorado are very flattering, imparting fine spirits to the farmers of that legion. They have also raised an abundant of corn, and have had a beautiful fall for gathering. A man named Smith, who had recently arriv ed from Virginia, was found dead in the prairie, on the 9th inst., about six miles above Gonzales. He wa9 supposed to have been intoxicated, and died from the mingled effects of intemperance and exposure. The Austin State Times, of the 10th inst., has the following Indian news: The Lipans and Toncahuas are organizing an expedition against the Camanches. The Caman ches recently made a foray upon the former and carried off near two hundred horses. The Lipans and Toncahuas are determined to avenge the in jury by retaliation. They and the Camanches have been enemies for years. The Lipans once claimed the greater portion of the territory now occupied as a hunting ground by the Camanches. The Toncahuas have receded from the vicinity of the coast. They are greatly embittered against the Camanches. Some trouble may originate from the late depredation. Major Neighbors will take timely and judicious steps to arrest the movements; Major Howard being on leave, he has taken temporary charge of these tribes. The same paper has the following notice of Indian depredations in Mexico : A gentleman who has been traveling some time in Mexico, represents the condition of the Mexican States of Zacatecas and Durango as de plorable indeed. Many districts are entirely de populated and in possession of the Indians. They have fastnesses in the mountains, to which they retreat, when pursued by the Mexican troops. By dexterous management they get the troops entangled in the pass of a mountain and cut them to pieces—a no very hard matter to ac complish. A native of the ‘'magnanimous na tion” will as naturally take to his' tiotters upon the first glimpse oi an Indian, or the first sound of the war-whoop, as he would perform any other act. Fear of Indians is instinctive. A Mexican can’t help it—it is a part of his educa tion, instilled from early infancy. Unless the Government of Mexico employs foreign soldiery to operate against the savages, there is no telling where the matter will stop. Mexicans them selves have joined the Indians. Robbers, rene gades and scoundrels find a safe refuge among them. With these for guides and counsellors the Camanches and Apaches have every advantage over the unwarlike ranehercs. The Governor of one of the Mexican States offered a reward of $3,000 for a villain who had led a band of Indians into tae heart of the coun try. A Mexican followed him to San Carlos, on the Rio Giande, made him drunk, carried him back and received the reward. The wretch was executed. The Indianola Bulletin, of the 10th, says that the stable ot Mr. James L. Allen, stage proprie tor. was burned on the previous Wednesday night, together with seven good American noi ses. The stage only lost one trip, however, The Bulletin also has the following paragraph | on the subject of the Colorado raft: We learn that Lieut. Stevens is progressing 1 very successfully in the work at the raft. He is ; not, however, as we had supposed, removing the raft, but is laboring to make a channel around it, by connecting certain lakes together and with the river, on the route through which the steamer Kate Ward got out of the river several years ago. There are three large and deep lakes, which when so united, will not only form a good channel but make a considerable “cut off. J? There are twen ty-live hands at work and everything goes on well.
