m —7 —1? /7w ** 'Wy ' . : / | tlri-iUcehln Constttutionftlistnn& Ucpubiic. BY JAMES GARDNER. AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. SATURDAY MORNING, NOV'R 11. The Weather, &.c. We had yesterday morning a slight fall of rain, aud during the day it was warm and cloudy, the thermometer at 2 P. M. marking 66. Absentees are daily returning to the city, and all is hustle. Nearly all of onr stores are open, and our merchants are busy unpacking goods and cleaning up. By Monday morning our city will present its usual aspect of activity, and bu siness wiH, generally, be resumed. Among the absentees who have reached the city we had the pleasure, yesterday, of taking by the hand the editor of this paper. His numerous friends will be gratified to know that he is in the enjoyment ot good health, al though still suffeiing from a sprained ancle. — He will enter on bis duties to-morrow, and, after Monday, we hope the Constitutionalist and Republic will prove more interesting to readers, than it has been for the past two months. Death of Mrs. Hamilton. We regret to perceive, says the Charleston Courier, from a telegraphic dispatch, that Mrs- Hamilton, the venerable widow of the illustrious Gen. Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury under the Administration of President Washington, died at her residence on New York Avenue, in Washington, yesterday, at the advanced age of ninety.-sixty years. Dr. Hall was her attending physician, and her affectionate daughter-—Mrs Holley—was unremitting in her efforts to soothe and comfort her beloved parent. Two sons of Mrs. Harniiton—James A. and John C. Hamil ton, Esq-., ot New York—were also present.— The distinguished lady was the daughter of Gen. Schuyler of revolutionary fame. Charge of Attempt to Kill—The Accus ed in Jail. —The Savannah News of the 9th says: Not a little interest was excited yesterday morning in this community, by the announce ment of the return of Dr. R. A. J. Repiton in the custody ot 2J Lieut. Wylly, ot the Mounted Police, under a charge ot having conspired with Mrs. Mary (P. D.) Hilzheim to compass the death of her husband, Mr. P. D. Hilzheim, a clothing merchant, of this city. We have* not learned any ot the particulars of the assault or whether such was made, and only know, from reliable sources, that on Monday last, Mr. H. ap peared before Justice Raiford, and swore to the charge. A warrant was immediately placed in the hands of the City Constable Galloway for the arrest of Mrs. H. That officer proceeding to its execution, found Mrs. H. at her store, in the act of packing her goods, with, as she told him, the intent of leaving the city the next evening. Meanwhile another warrant was is sued lor the arrest of Dr. Repiton, and placed for service in the hands of Lieut. Wylly who proceeded to Macon by the night train, and ar rested the Dr. in that city by nine o’clock, A. M. Tuesday. And returned with him to this city yesterday morning. Bath the accused are now in jail waiting fuither examination. Os the merits ol the case we know nothing. We may say, boii’vm, oi~Hr R been actively engaged as a member ot the Young Men’s Benevolent Association of Savan nah during the ejademic here. As an investi gation of the affair may not he had for a few days, we bespeak for the accused, a suspension of opinion until a judical examination can be j obtained. Coanterfeit Quarter Eagles, which almost de fy detection are in circulation in New York.— They are said to be made from a.genuine New Orleans Mint die, stolen some years since and bears the “O” under the talons of the eagle.— Professor Torry, Assayer at New York, has an alyzed the coin and find that it is made of a cast ing of pure gold, filled with silver and probably ptatina, to increase the weight. The weight is 60 5-10 grains*which is only 4 grains light, and the casting of gold weighs 30 1-10 grains. It is therefore worth §1.17 in gold and 8 cents in sil ver, or $1.25 in raw material, beside the labor of making. The maker and the vender could not, therefore, realize' msre than $1 each which would seem to be a small profit, except that the coun terfeit is so well done that there is but litile risk or detection. New Biunswick papers received at Boston on Sunday last, state that the reciprocity bill has passed the House of Parliament by a vote of 19 to 4, and that the following gentlemen are to compose the new Ministry : —Chas. h isher, At torney General; T.

A lot in the town of Hamburg (the Spout spring lot,) containing within ismall trac tion of twenty acres, went lor $1450. Mr. C. Harmond was the purchaser. The well known and very valuable situat.en on Saluda, known as “Mt. Willing,” was purchased by Messrs. Ar thur and Louis Youngblood. We observe that Dr. R. G. Mays, of Florida bought a thousand acres or so in the same vicinity—hope it is an indication of some disposition an the Dr.’s part to get back home again.— Edgefield Advertiser , 9. Fine Cotton Picking. —Mr. H. B. Gallman, manager for Col. F. W. Pickens, on his lower Saluda plantation, sends us the following state ment ot cotton-picking among his hands on the 26th, ult. We must add, what Mr. G.’s modes ty forbade his saying, that it is very hard to beat for this country. “Twelve hands,” says he, “picked out four thousand and thirty-two pounds, making an av erage of 336 pounds to the hand. The whole number ot hands in ths field on the same day was 36, and the total weight of cotton gathered was 7513 pounds. They all began after sun rise and stopped picking at sunset. Cotton dry and day hot.” . Had the Col.’s whole force picked on that day in proportion to the above, he would have had near forty bales gathered, at one sweep as it were.— lb. Prospects of Gold. —Several good prospects of a golden harvest are lising up before the en raptured vision of certain citizens of our district. We have seen specimens from a mine, ol Mr. Musco Samuel, and-also from one worked by Mr. John Lyon and others of our town. The pure stuff shines out palpably enough in both ca ses; and all interested are filled with hopes of brilliant gains. May none be disappointed ! “Our Galls ” —We have a good many big, fat, fine-looking girls in Edgefield, and no unpie judiced person vfcill deny the fact. But we know of one not eight miles from our town who “fakes the rag off the bush,” lor size, so completely, that the rest of our pretty ones must all slug low for the future. She is only 14 years old, and is 6 feet high nearly and wears No. 13 shoes. We are permitted to make this statement by those who have the best right to grant that permission. Talk no more of woman's degeneracy while we can raise such Amazons in old Edgefield.— lb. Frost, or no frost, the air ol business which pervaded our streets on Friday and Saturday last, from Lawrence Street to the steamboat wharves, indicated very plainly that the scramble for dollars had commenced, and that the panic caused by a dread of the satfron-hued giant was at an end. All was bustle and activity —cotton and other articles of commerce came in freely— the steamer Ariel was at our wharves on Fri day, and the Jenny Bealle on Saturday, dispen sing “goods, wares and merchandise” to smiling consignees—draymen wheeled said goods, wares and merchandise off to various store houses, whence they will soon diverge in divers direc tions an<| be lost to our view. In short, the tide oi Business has set in with a velocity of vising J vim «hat would do honor to all who may have . | business to attend to. 1 But mind, we don’t say we have had a frost . yet; we may not have one before Christmas.— Montgomery (Jlla.) Jour. 6th. [From the Missouri Democrat. | A “Com Cracker” at the Opera. Mr Editors—According to your invitation I begin to give my thoughts to the opera perform ances, which Master Field is showing up at the V arietiestheatre, fora few nights only. I never seed an opera before Monday night last, and in course everything about it was most attractable to my eyes. You may know when I came to the city some weeks ago, you tolthme that Mister r ield was going to bring Max Ma-root-suck, or Make-a-rat-sick, on Jo St. Louis about the Ist of October; and so I laid off, and thought I would not come over until Max arrived. But then I heard agin that Mix fizzled out, and Mr. Field was in a bad way; and I was thinking that maybe I couldn’t git to the opera at all. How somever, I peeped into your paper one day, and the first thing I seed was that Mr. Field hid begged another opera, and that it would begin to show on the night of the 16th instant. So I tolu brother Jabe to tend to stock, and watch out tor rain so thathe could go to. plowi'n for wheat, while I’d go over to Saint Louis and see the opera a bit. I arrived in town on Saturday night, as you know, and put up at Barnutn’s a fust rate tavern, by the way, exceptin they make a leller walk up so high to lay down in his bed. Well Monday night come; Ido suppose if I done it once I done it fifty times—that is, read the big opera bills on the corners and sides of the walls, and by the time night had come, I knowed all the singers’ names. There was a singer Giab-and-toe, and singer Low-in-eye, who the bills said was prime on the Ass-o-lute— a new kind of instrument, I suppose. And then there was singei Ross-in-your-eye, and singer Cut-yoir-gye, and singer Brat-in-your-eye, and Rock-you-oh! and Pick-you-oh ! and Boss-you oh ! and so forth, and so forth, but I can’t think of half of ’em. A dollar I thought, was a big price, but I had been layin up for a good while, and felt a little flush, and so I planked right down at the door keeper. In I walked. I had been to the Va rieties when I was at the city before, to see the theatre perform, and in course, the place wasn’t strange to me. 1 got in pretty late, and most of the men and women had all filled up the boxes. I couldn’t see any vacant seats excepting those in the boxes fastened up by little pine bars across’em, and so I just walked around the row of seats as bigas any of’em. But 1 mus nt stop to tell of these things any longer. 1 want to write how the opera per formed. The first motion I seed in the neighbor hood of the stage was a whole lot of fellers com ing up out of the orchesTWs hole, with fiddles and bows. I had heard ’em before, so I know’d that it wouldn't be long before something else come. The feller that sits on the high chaii* com menced a sawin’ up and down, just as I had seen before, and the music begun. They played a little while, and up rolled the curtain, aud in coTr.e what the bills called the chorus—a lot of men with feathers and caps, striped linsey coats and nothing oti their legs. They sung very well as 1 thought, and 1 guess all the people thought so too; for all ot them commenced nod din’ their heads to one another just as I have seen old fellows at Methodist meetings nod and bow to one another when the preacher give it to the devil and talked of glory. Well, the feller without breeches soon went off the stage, and here come a great big feller, dressed a little better than the choius men, and he begun to sing also. Heavens! what a voice he had.— It was just like our presidin’elder’s, and he is J&lr ***.''"•* rrrptmfe mg opeia teller com menced a singing too, and one of the chorus fel lers sung back at him, and nobody to line tor ’em either; and then, every now and then, the big opera would come steppin’ up to the gas lights, and hold his hands over the fiddler in a high chair and sing away without any particular metre, going last and slow, high and low, just as it suit ed him, until .1 swear 1 begun to feel bad tor him, but when he got done and turned his big, broad back to the people, they all commenced clappin’ like thunder. Wasn’t it strange?— Where’s the opera? says I to myself. Why don’t he come out and go through the regular theatrical motions and quit singing? They kept on singing though, and the people seemed to take it all easy; and so, thinks I, I’ll not both er myselt about it, either. I always liked good singing, such as Hail Co *mbia tunes, and Away Down on the Sawnee River, and Jerusalem’s rny Happy Home, but I’ll be dad if I could sto mach such hop-step-and jump singing as the big feller done, anyhow ;. I couldn’t hear a word he sung nuther. He just kept sayin over and over, ah ! oh ! uh ! i-i-, ker-r-r-r-r, and sich like ; but all the ladies laughed and looked at each other, and they stuck their goggles out at the teller, and looked right at his legs—which wasn’t much, either, for I’ve got bigger ones myself, and better shaped, too, excepting they are a little knock kneed, and then looked around to the gentlemen siltin’ along with them and smiled, and said, “beautiful —delicious!” Well under the circumstances, I had to believe the feller was seme myself. Well, the curtain went down after a bit, and then it was jerked up*again, and here comes out two who, a teller by my side said was the pnmy donny’s. I looked at my programme and saw that they was the ones that was to play on the Ass-o-lutes, but they had nothing in their hands, and as soon as the music commenced they commenced singing too. Ihe one that sung the most I liked the best; she had such hearty look about her; but thenjshe played the fool so, caper ing aiound the stage—Equaling like a wild mare on°the prairies—grabbin at the air with her hands, ketching the other woman, who didn’t seem to have many verses to sing, by the amis and jerkin her about. I laughed lit to kill at her. She had on one of “those peesy dresses too, that slipped down over her shoulders, and seemed to feel awful bad about it at times, for when she stood over the gas lights, every once in a while * she would put her hands up over her bosom and „ive her body a wriggle and twist to get the dress up again, and then lindin.it wouldn’t come, ghe would give an awful screech and run away up the stage, just as if she was tearing mad, and then all the people clappeWit her for doing so; and then she’d come back and do the same thing over again. Wasn’t it strange? I kinder liked the woman for her spunk, and my blood fairly biled as I was coming out of the theatre and heard one of the ladies who wasn’t half as pret ty as the prima donny, say that “she looked just like a chambermaid, and had no look of soul or intellect about her at all.” Now, as (ur as I could see, she had a big place for a soul, anyhow, and as fur as intellect is concerned she must have been smart, for I saw a good many St. Louis l lawyers listening to her, and they couldn’t take ’ their eyes away from her. Weli, she sung along. - gittin a leetle higher than the big feller did, but l not quite so low, until a good many other opera r fellers came on the stage. One of ’em I liked mighty well. They call him Singer Benny Ventano. If he only behav ed himself, and just give us one or two good speeches, or a little Shakspeare, and then instead of throwin’ his sword down on the floor, ii he had only stuck it through the pesky big feller with his pipestem legs, I’d like him ten times better. But he kept a singing-too, and I could at understand a single line or verse.. He had almighty sweet voice though. It made me trunk, sometimes, of the night when my good old mother died—when she asked sister Jane to set, down by her bed-side and sing to her, and sister Jane sung so low and sweet, and her vuce trembled so, as the tears run down her cheeks, that 1 fought it might have been an angel sing ing to mother. I like Benny Ventano first rate. It made me feel bad, though to see him stick himself just before the curtain fell. I wanted to hear him again, but now in the language o Shakspeare, he has gone ''to be born in a coun try from whence no traveller has been discover ed,” an<l, in the language of that little ugly teller of the Republican, “over his body the wild waves AUGUSTA, GKOKGIA, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1854. - s *ng an eternal requiem.” But, Mr. Editor, I think of writing mor * about the opera, I will not 1 t give you any more trouble jist now. Hopin’ 1 &c., I Illinois. A Confidence Man. A young man, w th a modest exterior, who gave his name as Henry Holmes, crossed “over from the city to Algiers about three weeks ago, and took board at the Telegraph House kept by Mrs. Thompson. '1 lie reason given by him for J deserting the city w«o> that he wished if possible to avoid all contact ’"nth the yellow fever; and, moreover, he had In-ome disgusted with the' fashionable d vice which prevailed in New Orleans To uch an extent. At the Telegraph House, y ung Holmes passed for a I man of great consequ nce and wealth. He was also remarkable for tus religious deportment, and on Sunday never lost n opportunity of mingling with worshippers, ait- of joining with solemn mein in all sacred exercises. In fact, Holmes became quite a con fid nee man, and, as he con- fidently informed the lady of the house that he bad, in a recent visit lu California, become poss essed of exhaustless h ealth, and was then en gaged in negociasing . ie purchase of a million acres of land in Te as, the attractions of the wealthy stranger became whispered abroad, aud invitations to dine am sup began to pour in up on him from the elite cl our right-bank vis-a-vis Within a week he was engaged to be married to the fair , ai d had employed a fellow boarder, at a salary et SBOO per year, with a bonus of |4OO acres oMaud, to attend his estate in Texas. This fellotV boarder had previously been engaged in teaching the “ young idea how to shoot,” and had saved up about $l5O, and when he and his employer were packing up to start. Holmes displayed several boxes of what he called gold dust, bn; which may reasonably be supposed to have be a brass filings. He also showed a sealed box which, he informed his newly employed secretary, wasf’fiilled with S2O gold pieces. Then, at Lis employer’s suggestion the ex-schoolmaster gav*> his funds into the safe keeping of the supposed millionaire, and went to visit a friend prior to his departure to the Far West. In the meantime the confidence man re moved the greater por urn of his effects to a j steamboat, and stated that he would be back in just an hour and a half tn pay his board, and de part with his secretary. He, hoA'ever, never returned, and the ex-sch.olmaster, when he got back, discovered, to I*3 gm*at regret, that he had been defrauded by a swindler, and the landlady at the same time discovered that she had been cheated out of three weeks board. Such are some of the doings of one of the “.confidence men’’ who have recently- been operating in our goodly city.— N. O. Delta, 2d. Crops and Famine.— For the last few gionths the short-crops and starvation croakers have had full sway and every section where rain has been scarce or crops unpromising, from Maine to Tex as, seems to have had its evil genius to report the worst, often exagerat**d, in a paragraph for the two thousand newspajiers of the country to publish ami copy, and send out to their millions ol readers, all over the Union, while no pen was ready to give circulation {o the excellent crops ol a thousand sections which are never heard of, until a posafive panic on the subject, almost na tion wide has resulted. But we are glad to see that croakers are growing fewer, and feebler, the I’anic subsiding,'and a better, and healthier state ol public feeling is beginning to prevail. The fact is, the deficiency in the crops ol the season, hr s not, at any time during the gloomiest period, justified a tittle ol the complaint so lreely indul ged. The wheat crop, taking the country over, was ty no means to he complained of. The corn crops, iri some sections are greatly below the average, is good in the West and South-west, in tha ••• i—• m * , throughout the territory of the worst ol the drought. The hay crop is far from being a fail ure. Oafs were very good. Out of the various articles used for winter feeding of stock, a very respectable supply has been laid up. Besides, trans-Atlantic crops are abundant, and we will, of necessity, become our own consumers. Much less will therefore be required to supply home necessities. It may not be amiss to mention al so that by the late reciprocity treaty, Canada has access to our markets on terms that will render the supplies of her good crops available to our large cities iu the North-east. Upon the whole, we think there is no need of alarm, economy is the most that is required.— By promptly taking care of what is produced, there will be plenty. The hog crop is abundant. The supply of pork, however, will depend in a great measure upon the grain crop. Some sec tions will latten but lew hogs, in order to save grain ; but take the country over, we do not ap prehend either a scarce supply, or an extravagant price. The corn crop in some places has been excellent, and some of»the pork packing States, it is stated, will have more than twenty percent above the average quantity. On the subject of meat and breadstuftis, we think the country may rest easy. —Knoxville Statesman. A Tame Whale. —An eastern traveller, in a newly published work, entitled “Notes of Tra vel,relate, the following singular (act which •came under his observation at Muscat. No vjsitor to the harbor is better welcomed by the natives than the “Muscat Tom.” This name has been given by sailors to a male fin-back whale which has made an habitual practice for over forty years to enter, feed, and frolic about the cove several hours in each day, always leav ing before night.. Sometimes a smaller member oAfis tribe, supposed to be a female, accom panied him. His length may not be less than seventy feet, and that of his companion fifty.— Since his arrival signalizes the departure ol the sharks which infest the harbor to the prevention ot sea bathing by the natives, the most stren uous caution is observed not jto interfere with his pursuits and diversions. -He shows no fear of such vessels as trespass upon his watery field. One day as he came rolling leisurely and jblily alongside of a vessel at anchor in the harbor, and on which 1 wa«,one ot the crew threw with considerable impetus a stick of wood into his open mouth, as he raised his head out of the water. This breach of the good treatment which he had been wont to receive did not draw any signs of dfspleasure from his whalefihip, although moie than one malediction was bestowed upon the imprudent tar by the exasperated natives who had obseived his censurable conduct.

Among which may be specified “Dr. Hooflands celebrated bitters,” for sale by C. M. Jackson—and used with remarkable success in Liyer Complaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, and a gene ral derangement of the stomach. The Stinday Dispatch says of this medicine : “Wefeel convinced, that in the use of the Ger man Bitters the patient does not become debilitat ed, but constantly gains strength and vigor to the frame—a fact worthy of great consideration. The Bitters are pleasant in taste and in smell, and can be administered under any circumstances, to the most delicate stomach. Indeed they can be used by all persons with the most perfect safety. Itwould be well for those who are much affected in the ner vous system, to commence with one teaspoonful or less, and gradually increase. We speak irom ex perience, and are, of course, a proper judge. The press far and wide, have united in recommending the German Bitters, and to the afflicted we most cordially advise their use.” 12 sept!9 JST RECEIVE D—s doz Quarts,doPints, TA MARINDS.

The extension of the South western and opening of a part of the Mobile and Girard Roads will undoubtedly have an influence to increase our receipts during the season, and we think the present deficiency is caused in a great measure by the fine weather which keeps all of the planting force busy in picking out the crop. The market has been animated with a better de mand for the higher grades which have slightly ad vanced. The limited stock now offering prevents heavy operations, but there are more buyers than sellers, and if the planters would sond forward their cotton it would find a lively market —and ready sale.
