] Florida Correspondence of the Char. Caurier.\
Wel aka. (Fla) Dec. 15, 1853.
The frequent inquiries made relative to Flori
da, especially by So.uth Carolimaus, induces rne
to address you a letter containing some general
information upon the su ject, and it you think
it will prove interesting or valuable to any who
are directing their attention to our Slate, you
are authorized to copy it in your paper.
It is an enignato many who observe the ge
ographical position of Florida, that with an area
of 38,000,000 of acres, she had in 1850 but 349,-
000 acres ot improved land, and a population of
only 88,000; about 47,000 of that number
whites.
A review of her history will explain it. For
the last century Florida has not enjoyed repose
under any government of twenty years dura
tion. In 1763, the Spaniards gave up the Flo
ridas to England. In 1783- ; 4, the English re
turned them to Spain, by which government
they were held until in 1812, a treaty having
been made for their cession to the United States
in 1819.
While these political changes were taking
place, internal difficulties occasionally occurred
with Indians, and invasions were made upon the
provinces several times. In 1812 and 1813,
East Florida was invaded by a body of quondam
patriots, who were protected by the United
States flag, under thr presence that it was a re
publican movement on the part of the inhabi
tants; but it was an arranged plan to obtain
possession of the peninsula—our government
apprehending its occupation by the English du
ring the war then pending.
This invasion was most disastrous to East
Florida. Every plantation in*lhe district was
devastated, either by the U. S. Troops and pat
riots, w : ho were together, or by a lawless ban
ditti, who remained in the province alter the
troops iett. The province did not recover from
this, before the cession to the United States, and
upon the ch. nge of flags in 1821, almost every
Castillian departed lor Cuba.
The chief reason why a wealthy and enter
prising population did not at once ioilj*’ our flag
into Florida, was that titles to land were un
certain. Grants and donations having been
made by England and Spain to their respective
subjects, upon many of which conditions had
been imposed, and no evidence could be really
obtained to show whether or not they had been
complied with. In 1828, our Government ap
pointed a Board of Commissioners, to attend to
the investigation of Claims for Grants and do
nations, and those were confirmed which were
perfected. After this Board ceased to act, other
claims of the same character were acted on by
the U. S. Court. The most important Grants
were the Arredondo Grant of 20 miles square,
and that to the Duke of Allagon, of about 17,-
000,000 acres. The former was confirmed, and
the latter rejected.— Titles to land in Florida
can now' be easily ascertained.
The war with the Sermnoles from 1835 to
to 1842. was a serious drawback upon the pros
perity of the Territory, geneialiy, but more es
pecially upon the Eastern Dfstrict, it being the
*eat of war. Many Sugar and Cotton Planta
tions were destroyed upon the Atlantic as well
as in the interior, which were in beautiful op
eration. When the war ceased in 1842, a verbal
understanding was had with the Indians, that
they might remain undisturbed it tbey remain
ed peaceful in ceitain boundaries assigned
them.
Their conduct has been such as to give confi
dence of their intention to be quiet, and the pub
lic tnied generally is at rest respecting any hos
tile action by them. It is true that some are
found who apprehend the State is unsafe while
any remnant ever remains in it; but I am im
pressed tally with the belief that it is from mis
taken views of po ; icy, or from eelfi-h motives,
that »uj will advise hostilities against them at
a tune when tae population and prosperity of
the State is so rapidly increasing and advancing.
Indeed, was it not referred to, it would not be
known that tnere are any Ind ans in the State,
as they never mingle with the Whites; and
with the exception ot a lew "outsiders.” who
straggle about to hunf, they remain continually
within theii boundary line.
Another objection to capitalists investing
money in Florida, previous to her becoming a
State, was that bonds had been issued by the
Governor, (under authority of law,) to the
amount of several millions of dollars, fur certain
banks in the territory. The banks (ailed, and
it was supposed that the inhabitants would be
taxed to redeem this pledge of their territory.—
The question, however, was definitely settled
by a provision in the Constitution of the Slate,
when she was admitted into the confederacy in
1845, which states distinctly that the people ot
the State shall not be taxed to pay them.
Thus have all serious difficulties been adjusted
and confidence in the resources of Florida is
shown by the tide of emigration which is now
flowing tvithin her limits.
The principal planting counties in East Flori
da are Columbia, Alacbue. Marion, Sumtek Her
nando and Levy’, l'he three first named are the
most populous and thriving,
Marion county, within the three past years,
has added several thousand to her {stipulation
from South Carolina alone, arid the result of the
planting interest generally has fully met the ex
pectations of those engaged in it.
The settlers in the vicinity of Oala and Mi
canopy being chiefly from the ‘’South State ”
that district is given the sobriquet ot “New Car
olina,” and the number of wealthy and respec
taMe planters there form a nucleus highly des ; -
rable for “annexation.”
In this vicinity, the lands are fertile and in
large bodies; but equall" good lands may be
found further south and west, at much lower pri
ces than sales are made at there.
I think: a moderate estimate of the wild land
in East Florida fit for a general cultivation is
3,500,000 acres— -one half of this first quality.—
At present, the improved land in the State does
jsot exceed 600,000 acres.
The products of the State are sugar, long and
short staple cotton, tobacco, turpentine, and yel
low pine, live oak, red cedar, and cypress tim
ber.
The shipment of yellow pine lumber from the
St. John’s river the ensuing year will reach 50,-
000 000 feet, the value of which will be at the
mills about $600,000. The ensuing crop of East
Florida, which will pass out at the St. John’s
will amount to about 750,000 dollars. More
than half of this will come from Marion,
Sumter, and the lower part of Alachua counties.
Tbe succeeding crop will be much increased, as
lands are being opened to a large extent, and
.every steamer from Charleston is filled with
emigrants and bands for the planting districts.
Within an area of twenty miles square around
Micanopy there are prairie and swamp lands
which could be reclaimed at an expense of from
SBO 000 to SIOO,OOO, sufficient to raise 100.000
hogsheads of sugar, and notwithstanding the cul
tivation of long cotton is so favorable, I believe
that the principal crop of East Florida, before
many years, will be sugar.
Os the towns in East Florida, Jacksonville is
the most thriving. Population about 2,500.
The business of the place, is chiefly from the in
fluence of fifteen steam saw mills, in its vicinity
tbeir shipments amounting to about 40.000,000
feet. St. Augustine, about 2000 population, does
but a small business. It is the most healthful
city in the United States, both summer and win
ter. Middleburg, on Black Creek, is a small vil
lage. but ships a large quantity of Cotton from
Alachua and Columbia Counties. Palatka is the
countv site of Putnam county, is the terminus of
the Steamers from Charle-son and Savannah, and
the depot for the produce and merchandise re
ceived and forwarded for the interior counties,
and upper St Johns. It is prospering The
population was about 150 a year siuce, it is now
about 500. Welaka, about 25 miles above Pa
latka, is a place just springing up, which bids fair
to beeome a depot for the produce from the Ocla
waha River, as it is situated immediately oppo
site tbe mouth of that stream, upon a high and
{tloasant bluff. Big Lake George and Auzie Is
and, lie* 12 miles above Welaka, and about 80 ;
miles furtuer is Lake Munroe, upon which are
situated Enterprise and Millervtlle. Ocala, tbe !
county sit# of Mariop county f is the interior, 55 |
miles from Palatka, and 30 miles from the cele- I
brastd Orange Springs. This is a business place I
otabout 800 population. There is a seminary 1
under good direction, with about 100 male and
Jemale prr>i!s. Micanopy is a village of 150
population, surrounded by a very respectable
planting community, and most fertile lands.
Upon the Oclawaha, Silver Spring is the head
point of navigation, and ships the produce from
the country around Ocala. Fort Brooke, on the
Oclaw’aha. is of some importance, as it will be
the shipping point of most of the produce raised
in the vicinity of Orange Lake, Micanopy, and
the Alachua prairie.
Newnansville. the late county site of Alachua
county, is fuither interior, about 70 miles from
Palatka, and 45 trom Middieburg. It is a town
of some standing and trade, and ships her pro
duce and receives merchandize at Middieburg.
Gainesville is the new county site of Alachua
county, situatsd about 15 miles north-westerly
trom Micanopy, and is in the midst ot the rich
est section of planting lands.
Lands in East Florida, but more particularly
in Marion county, have advanced from 100 to
500 per cent. Some tracts of land held at $3
per acre, three years since, have been sold at
irom sls to S2O per acre. There is much good
land to be had now, at from $3 to $5 per acre,
but it must be hunted out. Land seekers should
not trust to steam boats and stages when they
want laud, but bring with them their saddle
horses and camping blankets.
Business capital is small in East Florida, com
pared with the amount of trade; but as the
country is prosperous, it suffices for ordinary pur
poses, there beiug no extensive operations in
produce. There is not any bank in Florida, nor
will there probably be any, as the banks of
South Carolina and Georgia are in good standing,
and can supply all the money fecilities required
for legitimate business transactions, and an agri
cultural country is better without banks.
The population of Florida has increased from
1840 to 1850, fifty-six percent. It will increase
more than one hundred per cent, in the present
term of ten years.
To refer to the climate of Florida would be
superfluous, as it is so well known to be salubri
ous and healthy. The census of 1850 reports
her as the most healthy State on the Atlantic
and the fourth in the confederacy, including the
new Western States, which are not on an equal
ity, as their population is chiefly of a firmer
character.
In my endeavor to be brief in this communi
cation, and yet wishing to be general, I feel I
have not done justice to Florida, nor, indeed to
myself; but it is so lengthy I must conclude it,
and shall do so with a few comments.
There is no State in the Confederacy which
presents greater permanent indacements to the
emigrant or capitalist than does Florida, at this
time. Eve.y one who is industrious, prudent
and attentive to their business, is prospering, no
matter in what channel his energies are direct
ed. Florida is yet but a wilderness—every day
developes some new source of interest or profit.
With a soil and climate adapted to the produc
tions of most northern, as well as most tropical
plants and fruits, the advantage over Cuba is a
great one, because social relations are better; and
the facility of communication with every place
is easier.
The connection with the north, afforded by
the elegant and safe steamers from Charleston
and Savannah, is of great consideration, and the
comforts they supply alone induce persons to vi
sit Florida, and to see the noble St. John’s, ‘‘The
River of Lakes,” flowing in its majestic tide
from a source over 300 miles from its outlet, will
well repav the voyager for the time expended
To Charleston, East Florida is justly becom
ing a district of much commercial importance.
The character of her produce is adapted to the
Charleston market, and the sympathy between
the two places is strong, from the circumstance
of so many ot Florida’s best citizens being emi
grants from South Carolina.
The internal improvements of Florida have
not yet commenced, but she will not long slum
ber. The proposed railroad from Ctdar Keys,
on the Gult ot Mexico, to the Atlantic Ocean,
will soon be carried on, and must prove of the
highest advantage, not only to the peninsula of
Florida, but to the commercial interests of the
country at large. Other plans are maturing for
the development ot the planting interests as well
as commercial. With much respect, &c.,
J. W. Bryant.
Arrival of the Pacific.
The U. S. mail steamer Pacific, with dates
from Liverpool to the 14th, arrived at her wharf
at New York on Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock.
She brings 100 passengers.
The Pacific passed the Atlantic at noon on
Sunday, in lar. 40 42.
The Arabia arrived at Liverpool on Sunday
morning, tbe 11th inst.
RtrssiA AND Turkey. —The greatest naval
batt e since Navaririo, has been fought with
terriinc ios> of life. The total destruction is 21
ship- oi war. with several transports.
On the 30th November, tbe entire Rusian
fleet from ebastopol, under Admiral viaehikoff,
consisting of 24 sail, appeared off the Turkish
harbor ot Sinope, where Vice Admiral Osman
Psha lay with fourteen Turkish vessels. The
battle immediately commenced, and tbe shore
batteries being ot no use, the Russians succeed
ed in forcing the harbor.
The Turks fought like devils, and would not
surrender. With most desperate bravery they
fought until one ship after another wes sunk,
blown up, burned, or destroyed. Seven Turk
ish frigates, two corvettes, one steamer, and
three transports, with several thousand men,
were totally lost, the men all perishing. Osman
Psha, the Turkish Vice Admiral, was taken
prisoner.
Ea<‘h of the Turkish ships, besides tbeir crew
had 800 troops on their way to Circassia. They
also had money to pay the fleet, all of which was
lost.
The Turks, notwithstanding the destruction
of all their vessels, sunk seven Russian ships,
two of their line of battle ships, three frigates,
and two steamers. Tbe ba:tle lasted only one
hour. The remainder of the Russian fleet was
so shattered that it could scarcely reach Sebas
topol.
All Europe was in a furore of excitement, and
the opinion is general that a European war can
no longer be averted.
1 he Russians continued to gain the advantage,
out their loss in the great naval engagement,
under the circumstances, is fully equal to that of
the Turks.
On the line of the Danube there was no move
ments.
(Amin Bey was on board the flag ship which
rapidly sunk. He was, with his crew, taken on
board tbe Russian ship.
This important news is fully confirmed by la
ter despatches.
Further Particulars or the Battle.— As
wiil be seen above, the Russian force considera
bly outnumbered the Turkish. In addition to
six ships of the line of Machikofl r ’s fleet, he had
twelve frigates, a brig and five steamers, in all
24 sail. While Osman had but fourteen. The
shore batteries were totally inefficient tor pro
tection. The remaining Russian ships were so
badly disabled that they could take no prizes.
The Turkish Admiral’s lijgate was towed out
by the Russians, but burnt at sea. Osman Pasha
and his suite were on board tbe Russian Admi
ral’s ship. One Turkish vessel managed to es
cape undamaged, being the only survivor of the
14. The battle, says the dispatch, begun an
hour’s distance from Sinope.. The Russian flag
ship was so much injured that it could with dif
ficulty reach Sebastopol. Prince Menschikoff
immediately left Odessa for St. Petersburg to
communicate the-victory to the Emperor. Os
man Pasha was charged with the conveyance of
troops and stores to Batun. There is, therefore,
every probability that on leaving the harbor of
Sinope he fell in with the Russian squadron, and
either accepted battle on unequal terms, or at
tempted to regain the protection of the land bat
teries, but was cut % pieces before reaching
them. The latter is the more likely, as one ship
is leported to have escaped undamaged, havin ',
no doubt, succeeded in gaining shelter under the
shore guns.
Tub Allied Fleets. —While this calamity is
befalling the Turkish ships, the English and
French fleets are lying idle in the Bosphorus.—
And, more extraordinary still, the main division
of the Turkish fleet is lying there idle too! Ad
miral Slade, the Englishman who commands it,
has returned trom a pleasant cruise in the Black
Sea, having been unable to find an enemy, al
though merchantmen report having seen several
ships of war prowiing about.
Perhaps the following remarks from the Liv
erpool Daily Times, which in this instance
speaks the sentiments or the best thinking of
the nation, may, it is said, not be unworthy of
attention.
4 ‘ What, may be asked, has become of Admi
ral Slade, the Englishman said to be in command
of the Turkish fleet in the Black Sea ? He left j
Constantinople with the whole Turkish force j
under his command, and on November 26 he is
said to have ‘ returned to the Bosphorus with the
squadron under his command.’ Alter Admiral
Slade had detached himself from so large a por
tion ot his force as that said to have been des
troyed at Sinope, he must be called upon by the
Parliament of Britain to account tor such an act.
“ In taking the command of the Turkish fleet,
he did not shake off his British allegiance, and if
he cannot give a satisfactory account of an act
which may entail years of bloodshed, he should
be dealt with accordingly. The day, we trust,
is far spent when the rights of nations can be
bartered away fora mess of pottage.
“If the destruction of the Ottoman fleet has
taken place, a general European war must be
the inevitable result, and the actors in the pre
lude to so untoward and lamentable an occur
rence are responsible not to England only, but to
Europe. Again, we say, the North ought to
speak out before it is too late.”
More Turkish Victories in Asia. —ln Asia,
Selim Pasha has stormed the fort ol Ussurghet,
and was on his march upon Kutasi, the last fort
between bim and the independent Caucasians.
It seems he feigned an attack upon Poti o« the
Black Sea, and while the attention of the Rus
sian commander was riveted on that fortress,
which i 3 regarded as the key of the Caucasus
from the Black Sea, Selim rapidly marched upon
Ussurghet and took the surprised fort by bold as
sault. Abdi Pasha is reportsd to be advancing
from Akhalzik in the direction of Tiflis. Ma
homet Rushdi Pasha, the Commander of the Im
perial Guard at Constantinople, has left the Cap
ital, on his way to the Persian frontier, where
the Persians are assembling an army of observa
tion, reported to amount to 50,000 men, on the
frontier of Turkey and Georgia not far from Ba
vazid.
The Sultan is continually bothered by plans
of arrangements, proposed sometimes by the
English, then again by the Austrian Ambassa
dor, and now by INI the Ambassadors together.
The last proposition rejected by the Sultan ema
nated from Austria. The statement of the Aus
trian note, about the Czai’s having given orders
that his troops should remain on the defensive,
seemed to be confirmed by the return of the Tur
kish packet Medan Fidiarefc to Constantinople,
which had been taken by the Russians and re
leased, as not a prize of good alloy. But sudden
ly the “ pacific views” of the Czar have been
manifested in another way, as shown in the at
tack on the Turkish vessels.
The Principalities. —The Russians have or
ganized the Administration of the Principalities
in their own way, after both the rlospodars had
given in their resignation. Os course no elec
tion will take place, though by the treaties the
free election of the Princes of Moldavia and
Wallacia was guaranteed by Russia to the Prin
cipalities. The Armenian Bishop of Erivan has
been imprisoned by the Russians because he did
not stop the progress of the emigration of the
Armenians from Transcaucasia into Turkey and
Persia.
Enoland. —The receipts of gold from Austria
were to the amount of $3,660,000 in a single
steamer. Other incomes made the amount of
the precious metals received in London about
$4,500,000, and a further sum of $1,200,000 was
near at hand from Australia. The export to the
Continent had nearly ceased.
The Times, which but lately was most san
guine in the hope of a settlement, once more
sounds the war trumpet. The whole press of
England denounces the present ministry’s course
and demands that their fleet be put in active
operation for the Turks It is said that the news
of the Russian victory made a most painful im
pression at Court.
Franck.—Private letters received at Paris
state that the news of the disaster to the Turkish
fleet with the proroundest astonish
ment antflgrief. The Emperor is stated to have
been overwhelmed by the intelligence. Expla
nation is imperatively demanded why a consid
erable pait ot the T urkish naval force was per
mitted to be annihilated within so short a dis
tance of where the powerful English and French
fleets were lying in inglorious ease; also, why
the Englishman, Slade, reported that lour days
before the disaster lie “ could not find an en
emy.”
Another plot against the Emperor’s life had
been discovered in Paris, on the 10th inst. More
than one hundred are already in custody, among
whom are twenty-two journeymen tailors and
shopmen. The Emperor was expected to be
present shortiy at the inauguration of the wo*-ks
iately completed in the the Seine, oppo
posite the Belle Jardiniere, n.id it was intended
to fire at him from the windows.
Spain.— The Ministry has been defeated, end
the Cortez broken up.
China.—Fighting is still going on with the
rebela. without any definite result.
Latest Intelligence by Electric Telegraph from Lon
don to Liverpool.
Wednesday, Dec. 14—8 o’clock, A. M —We
have received news from Constantinople, by
Vienna, down to the 3d inst. The news of thf
disaster of Sinope is officially confirmed, and had
just reached the Porte.
Upon the receidt ol this information, the Brit
ish and French Ambassadors had immediately
dispatched two steam trigates from the com
bined squadrons to Sinope, and two other steam
trigates to Varna, for the purpose ot procuring
precise intelligence. Upon the return ot these
vessels, it was thought probable that the com
bine'! fleets would receive orders to enter the
Black Sea, to prevent, if possible, any further col
lision between the Russian and Turkish naval
forces.
It is stated by the Russian accounts that the
squadron subsequently destroyed at Sinope was
engaged in conveying force to attack Soucharn
Kaisha, and that it was pursued into the port of
Sinope by tbe Russian fleet. If this account of
the circumstances preceding the engagement be
correct, it would give a somewhatdifferent char
acter to the attack, as the Russian forces might
be justified in interrupting a convoy destined to
invade a portion of their own territory. The
destination ol the squadron is, however, still un
certain; and it is more probable that the trans
ports were conveying re-inlorcerpents and pro
visions to Batoum, where the Turkish army
stands in need of both.
It isrepoited that the British Charge d’Af
faiirs atTeheren has suspended his diplomatic
relations with the Persian Goveanment, in con
sequence of that Power having resolved, as it is
said, to take part against the Porte, and to march
an.army to the frontier. I nis movement on the
part of the Shah of Persia had for some time
been apprehended, as his relations with Turkey
were such as to induce him to take advantage of
the increasing difficulties of the Ottoman Em
pire. The news, however, still requires positive
confirmation. »
The Morning Post states that a Constantino
; pie telegraphic dispatch of the 3 J reports the
I prevalence of great alarm and excitement, owing
!to the news from Sinope. The account given of
the action is substantially the same as the Rus
sians. The fleets were bound to enter the
! Black Sea. Persia had declared war against
; Turkey.
The Post’s leading article says that there can
hardly exist a doubt that the Admirals had by
this time entered, and are now in fuli command
of the Biack Sea.
Witi respect to the Persian declaration of war
j against Turkey, this is the natural consequence
! ota treaty offensive and defensive between Per
sia and Russia concluded some months ago. It
I adds a new complication.
Bucharest.— Prince Gortschakoff has de
clared Galatz and Ibraila neutral ports. Riots
i have taken place at Galatz, between the Walla
! chian militia arid the Russian troops. A battal
liori of the former refused to obey the order of a
j Russian General. The battalion in question and
four companies of the Wallachiaus were con
signed to barracks.
There is nothing late from the Danube.
Telegraphic dispatches in the Chronicle give
the details of the Turkish success in Asia.
Schamyland Selim Pacha had taken various
fortresses; and it is stated that they surround
Prince Woronzoff on all sides, in the vicinity
of Tellis.
The Turks were repulsed in an attack on
Alexarulrianople, in Georgia, but have blockaded
the citadel of Akista. Its fall was daily ex
pected.
The Journal de Constantinople mentions a re
port that Schamyl had defeated 13,000 Rus
sians, and a Vieunajpaper states that the attempt
to land 18.000 Russians near St. Nicholas was
repulsed with heavy loss.
A Fortunate Editor.— A gentleman of the
Savannah press came down here, the other day,
captured one of Leon county’s lairest daughters
and, we are told, will actually carry her off with
him. As the affair lias now become a matter of
notoriety, we may as well give names. The
editor we allude to is no less a person than R.

AUGUSTA, GA. __
SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31.
See first page Daily, this morning.
Oy Pioprietors of Warehouses in this city and
Hamburg will oblige us by having the stock ol
Cotton, remaining on hand in their respective
Warehouses, carefully counted for us this morn
ing. ______
Counterfeit Bills of the Bank of Hamburg,
So. Ca.
Mr. J. J. Blackwood, the Cushier, has shown
us a counterfeit SSO bill on the above Bank, and
placed by the side of it a genuine bill of the same
denomination, so that we could perceive the
marked difference between them. The genuine
bill has for its vignette a locomotive and train o!
cars, on the right hand margin a female figure
holding a cornucopia, on the left one holding a
scythe and bundle of grain, representing the
Goddess Ceres: on each side of the vignette, and
on the lower corners of the bill the figures 50,
large size.
This is the only plate for SSO bills ever used
by the Bank. The counterfeit bill is rather
longer and wider than the genuine—has as the
vignette aleroale figure, seated, a sheaf of grain
at her side and implements of husbandry at her
feet—a locomotive seen in the distance, crossing
a stone bridge.
On each side of the vignette are the figures 50,
the letter L at the left hand corners, between
them the word fifty in small capitals, and across
the entire right hand margin of the bili the word
FIFTY in large letters. It bears date Jan. 11,
1852, payable to W. S. Cothran.
The signature of the President, H. Hutchin
son, is well imitated—that of J. J. Blackwood,
Cashier, is imperfect, the hair strokes being
thicker than on the genuine bill. This is in
part from the inferiority ot the paper of the coun
terfeit.
We are thus particular in the description, as
we yesterday copied a paragraph from a Savan
nah paper, stating that these were in circu
lation in South-w'estern Georgia, and that they
were well executed.
The Campbell Minstrels.
This is the last night of the performance of

performances, however, weie not slighted, and
gave general satisfaction. The duett, '‘Gently
Sighs the Breer.-s.” with imitations of the bugle
by Campbell, an*! the French horn, by Zorer,
was warmly received, and will be repeated
this evening by particular request. It js
one of the best imitations we have ever
heard. Jenny Lind’s favorite Bird Song, will
also be imitated by Zorer, who has (if any of
the male sex have) the power to do it to perfec
tion.
Go early if you wish choice seats.
Change of Schedule"'
It will be seen by a notice ot the agent of the
South Carolina Railroad, that on an-’ after Mon
day next, the cars will leave the depot in this
city at half-past six o'clock, A. M. The time of
arrival is not stated.
Miss Parker’s Lecture.
In consequence of the inclemency of the wea
ther last evening, we are requested to state, that
Miss Parker’s Lecture is postponed until Tues
day evening.
The Mails and the Wilmington and Man-
Chester Railroad —We find the following
paragraph in the Columbia South Carolinian, of
yesterday:
, Aeio Mail Schedule. —The Northern mail*will
be transferred to the Wilmington and Manches
ter Railroad, on Sunday, Ist January, h 854.
i his arrangement will give Columbia the fol
lowing schedule:
ma^3 eave Columbia, daily, at seven,
A. M.
1 he Southern and Western mails will arrive
at half past three, P. M., and the Northern mail
at hall past eleven o’clock, A. M.
Cur Northern mails will thus reach us a day
earlier than by the previous schedule.
Courier, we can only state, that we have been
authorized and requested to announce that the
Post Office Department will not withdraw the
mails from the Wilmington line of steamers
until the Manchester Road is completed, which
will not be, we are informed, until the Ist of
April next. The following statement ol the
progress of the road, we extract from the last
issue of the Marion Star:
Wilmington and Manchester Railroad. We
learn that the part of this Road West of the
Great Pee Dee, was completed last week, so that
the cars now run up to the river. The Eastern
end of the Road is also finished to within three
miles of the Great Pee Dee. We are pleased to
announce that the cylinders at the Great Pee
Dee Bridge are all sunk, and rest on a firm clay
inundation, from sixteen to eighteen feet below
the bed of the river, so that hereafter the con
struction of the bridge may proceed without im
pediment or delay.
According to the annual statistics of the cattle
trade of New York, there were offered for sale
j during the present year 157,420 beeves, 10,720
cows and calves, and 412,989 sheep and lambs.
This shows an increase over the offerings of the
previous twelve months of 52,195 cattle, 5,039
cows and calves, and 76,889 sheep, and yet, not.
withstanding this extraordinary increase in the
supply, the wholesale prices of beef haveadvanc
| ed from $7.25 per cwt., in the beginning of the
year, to $8 87 at the close. Indeed, in June,
the rate was $9.68 per cwt. These facts, re
marks the Herald, concerning the high prices of
meats, not to speak of the proportionate charges
for the various other necessaries of life, are well
calculated to startle every head of a family, and
may, perhaps, lead to the adoption of such mea
sures as will tend to supply our citizens with
food at more moderate rates.
Slkf.t —On the night of the 24th inst.. we

—Columbus Tmct, 2 8th inst. \
Girard Railroad. j
Ihe Mobile Advertiser of the 24th inst., has ,
the following The editor of the Troy (Pike i
county) Palladium has had an interview with j
Major Harris, the Secretary and Treasurer of j
this road, who informed him that “ previous to
his leaving Columbus, he received three hund
red kegsofspikes and chains, and bills of lading
for iron sufficient to put twenty-three miles in
running order. The arrival of the iron was
daily expected. Subscriptions tc the road were
about three millions of dollars, and that there is
a bid in proposing to build the entire road in
three years.”
Ine Palladium also contains the proceedings
ol a targe and enthusiastic railroad meeting re
cently held in Proy, at which a memorial was
adopted asking the Legislature to pass a law
authorizing the Commissioner’s Court ot the
county of Pike to subscribe not more than one
hundred thousand dollars to the capital stock of
the Giraid Railroad Company, and to issue bonds
for the same, and coupons for the interest there
on, not exceeding eight per cent., said bonds and
coupons to be paid by a special tax leyied by
said Court lor that purpose, or otherwise, as
they ia their wisdom may devise, due at such
times and places as may be agreed upon by said
Court and the Directors of said Company.”
This is moving in the right direction, and if
it is followed up—as seems to be the prospect
in other counties, the benefit will be manifest
and important. We hope the good work may
go on.”
American Tract Society. —At the last meet
ing of the Board of Directors of the American
Tract Society, held last week in New York, a
letter was read, says the N. Y. Express, “ fifem
the Rev. Mr. Roberts of China, on his way to
Nanking, at the request of his friend and pupil,
the leader of the important Chinese revolution,
acknowledging a previous grant by the Tract
Society, which he says will be the first of the
benevolent train in the occupancy of this new
field of usefulness; a higher honor and wider
sphere it would be hard to find on earth.”
Profits of American Authors —lt i 3 said
that Washington Irving and “Peter Parley” have
made large fortunes by authorship, as has Mr.
Mitchell by his school books. Prof. Anthon, for
his series of classics, has received $60,000. Miss
Warner’s books have yielded a profit of from
$12,000 to $15,000. Mr. Headley has realized
from his works $40,000; lice Marvel, $20,000;
Miss Leslie, $12,000; Dr. Barnes, $30,000; Fan
ny Fern from one small book, in six months,
$6,000; Judge Kent, $120,000; Webster, for his
dictionary; SIBO 000, and others at equal rates.—
So that it cannot be said that American author
ship is not profitable.
The Grocer’s Bank of Neiv York has declared
a dividend of three and a half per cent, payable
on the 4th of January.
The Continental Bank of New York, four per
cent, payable January 5.
The Boston and Providence Railroad, three
and a half per cent., payable January 2.
The Providence and Worcester Railroad a di
vidend of three per cent.

Snow. — The Savannah Republican of the 19th
inst., says : “ There was a slight fall of snow yes
terday afternoon, which lasted about three min
utes, and stopped as abruptly as it began.—
Though very light and brief, it was yet sufficient
to leave no room for doubt that it was veritable
snow.
Mineral Ores in DeKalb County. —We
learn from the Wills V'alley Post, jthat valuable
mineral ore 3, thought to be principally copper,
but containing a portion of silver, have been
discovered in that county. Both citizens and
strangers are very sanguine on the subject, and
are anxious to become owners of the land at
high prices.
Want of Women in Australia. —The Mel
bourne Argus says: ‘‘ln this, the richosfc colony
in the world, the males outnumber the females
to the enormous extent of about 57,000 ! Think

a desolate surplus of fifty-seven thousand P
Suicide of a Georgian at Marshall, Tex
as.—We learn from the Marshall Republican
that a gentleman named Wm. R. Moss, from
Hancock county, Ga., committed suicide in the
house of Dr. Joseph Taylor,in that place,on the
night of the 20th ult., by cutting his throat with
a razor. He appears to have been, for some
time previously, in a state of great nervous ex
citement. His effects were examined and
found to amount in the aggregate to about $16,-
000. The Republican says :
“An inquest was held over his body, and the
verdict was rendered, “came to his death by his
• own hand. 5 ’ We understand that Mr. Moss his
' a mother and sister on the road to Texas with
120 negroes, of which 40 belonged to him.
“Dr. Taylor has delivered up the means of Mr.
Moss, to two responsible gentlemen in this place

Great Fire in. New York.
New York. Pee. 27.—At an early hour this
morning, burins the prevalence ot a strong north
west wind, a tire bioke out in Treadwell’s ex
tensive cracker bakery establishment, cn Front
street, near Peck Slip, and in a short time ex
tended, to South street, laying waste a vast
amount of valuab'e property. Seven wholesale
establishments were completely destroyed, viz :
Treadwell & Son’s bakery on Front street, D.
W. Mann, Waring & Co., Jones & Rowland, C.
Harris & Co., N. W. Reynolds & Co., Pusen
bury’s bell foundry, and Davidson & Young’s ex
tensive cracker bakery. Several other buildings
were greatly damaged. Mr. Newman, formerly
of Baltimore, is among the sufferers. A portion
of the Fourth Ward House was also consumed.
Jones,Rowland & Co. suffered a loss of $40,000’
but are insured. __
The flames on approaching South street,"com
municated, by the aid of the strong wind, to
several of the most valuable ships in port.—
Among them Donald McKay’s mammoth ship,
the Great Republic. Her rigging first took—
the flames then extended over the noble ship
with alarming rapidity, and in a short time, de
spite every exertion, she was burned to the wa
ter’s edge, and scuttled, but the water was too
shallow to allow of her being sunk. Her cargo,
consisting of a vast amount of flour, wheat, corn,
beef, &c., will be saved in a damaged state.
The Great Republic was au entirely new
vessel, and the largest sailing mercantile craft it
is said in the worid. It was stated only a few
days since that a Baltimore bouse had offered to
purchase her from her owner, Mr. McKay, for
$20,000 more than her original cost. She re
cently came from Boston (where she was built
at a cost of $300,000) to New York, to load for
Liverpool and Australia. The insurance on the
ship and freight money is as follows : in Bos
ton $20,000 ; New York $225,000 ; and in Phil
adelphia $30,000, which, it is supposed, will co
ver the loss of her owners.
While the Great Republic was on fire, the
flames communicated to the ships Joseph Wal
ker, White Squall, Red Rover and D Witt Clin
ton, presenting a scene at once awful and grand,
which was witnessed by thousands of spectators,
while the firemen nobly battled with the devour
ing element.
The Joseph Walker was soon entirely des
troyed, and at low tide her keel touched bottom.
She was of 1,326 tons burthen, and valued at
$90,000, for which amount she was insured in
the Mercantile, Mutual, Atlantic, Sun, and New
York Insurance Companies. Her cargo consist
ed of 20,000 bushels ot grain, 500 bbh. rosin and
430 cases ot cotton goods. The grain was in
sured in an English company’s office.
The ship White Squall was towed down stream
in flames. She was of 1,100 tons burthen, val
ued at §9,000, and owned by Messrs. Platt &
Sons, ot Philadelphia, and Messrs. Borth & Ed
gar, of New York. She is said to be fully in
sured. She had on board SIO,OOO worth of cop
per ore. The vesiel was nearly entirely destroyed.
The packet ship Da Witt Clinton and the
clipper Red Rover were nearly consumed. The
packet ship Consteiiation escaped with slight in
jury, and several others sustained damage to
some extent.
The great loss among the shipping was owing
to the low tide, which prevented their being
towed out promptly beyond reach of the flames.
It was late in the day before the progress of the
flames was stopped. The entire loss will reach
$2,000 000, and some of the insurance offices are
severe sufferers.
SECOND DISPATCH.
New York. Dee. 27. —The fire broke out
about one o’clock this morning, and in addition
to others, destroyed the flour store of Harris &
Co., and the store of D. W. Manvvaring, on
Front street. In the mentime, the sparks were
so thick in the vicinity as to assume the appear
ance of raining fire. The streets atrd docks along
the East river were literally alive w ith burning
coals. The pier at the foot of Dover street was
at one time covered to the depth of some inches
with fire, andgthe rigging and masts ot the nu
merous vessels lying m she stream were com
pletely enveloped in flying sparss. The seamen
and others strenuously exerted themselves to
prevent the canvas from igniting, but in most
instances the high wind rendered their efforts
useless.
It was about half-past one o’clock when the
rigging of the ship Great Republic took fire.
Owing to the immense height of her masts it
was impossible for the engines to play upon the
flames, and the consequence was that the falling
spars soon set her deck in a blaze. At thiee
o’clock her foremast fell, knocking her mainyard
ut ot the slings, and shortly after the mainmast
came down across the deck. Her mizzenmast
followed, carrying with it the spankermast. The
vessel was now a perfect wreck, being one mass
of flame abaft the mainmast. The flames rapid
ly communicated to the other ships, besides
which a number of schooners and si ops had the r
spars and rigging burned. The rasj »rity of them,
however, escaped total destruction by slipping
their cables and drawing out into the stream.
The Great Republic had on board an immense
cargo, consisting in part of about 9,000
of Hour, 60,000 to 70.000 bushels of corn and
and wheat. 1,000 haless of cotton, 3,000 barrels
of iosin, 1,000 tierces cf beef, &c., which was
valued at about $300,000.
The White Squall, at the time she took fire,
was lying nearly opposite the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
MARRIkD
At Pilatka, Fla , on Monday Morning, 26th Dec.,
by the Rev. Mr. Mas y, Mr. Oliver Hewitt, of
Charleston, S. C., and Miss Martha A., third
daughter of Ervin Roberts, Esq., of Pilatka.
j The following is from the principal
accountant of tho wealthy and highly
respectable house of Messrs. Voris &*Bro., of this
city, and presents ono of the most wonderful cures
■ in the annals of medical history:
■ Mr. R. C. Farrell—Dear Sir: Actuated by a sense
of gratefulness, 1 submit tho following as an in
stance of the utility of your great medicine. My
child, throe years old, was suddenly attacked with
a terrible disease, which, in less than six hours,
i prostrated it to total helplessness. The limbs be
. come so rigid that not a joint could be bent; tho
Ilesh turned black and cold, and entirely deprived
, of feeling; tne eyes fixed, partially closed, and al
together blind; following this was dealhess to all
sounds; the spine became contracted, and so curv
| ed that whon lying on its back, the head and heels
' only touched. Indeod, the child presented every
appearance of being doad. Immediately on the
attack, the family physician was called in, and for
throe weeks he labored to restore it to feeling, but
all in vain, although it was blistered a doaen times
. and various rubefacient Liniments applied. A con
sultation of physicians was then held, but to no
, purpose; the case was then brought beforo the
Madioal Society, but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been done, and the doctor
- then told mo he could do nothing more. Wo then
commenced applying your Liniment freely over the
entire length of the spine, and you may imagine a
paront’s joy, when, after a few applications, re
turning animation was apparent, and it rapidly re
covered with the exception of sight, which did not
become perfect for near a month. The child is now
healthy and robust as can bo. Fivo other oases of
the same kind occurred previously in my neighbor
hood, all of which died, whon there is no doubt if
your Liniment had been used, they would have re
covered. Henry G.Clela>d,
Peoria, March Ist, 1851.
A Hard Lump on a Horse s lire -My. 11. Q-
Farrell - I have used your Arabian Liniment with
gratification in soveral cases, the most remarkable
of which was a large lump that appeared on my
horse’s breast. It* was very haid, appearing to be
hard gristle. It remained for nearly a year, when
, ftp.pliod your Liniment, one bottle of which en
tifely cured it. I can recommend it as the best
Liniment I ever used. JaWN Crawl.
Peoria, Feb. 20th, 18-16.
Look out for Counterfeits. —The public are cau
tioned against another counterfeit, which has late
ly made its appearance, called W. B. Fan-ell's Ara
bia Liniment, the most dangerous of all the coun
terfeits, because his having the name of Farrell
many will buy it in good fahh* without the knov -
ledge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, por-
only discover their error whon the spurioits
mixture has wrought its ovil effects.
