They tail me I’m mad, bat my heart is more glad Than the hearts of tho thoughtless and gay, Ter it dwells In the past, where the blight and tho blast Os tho present are driven away. I ©an sing tbeo a lay of happier day. I can smother my spirit’s dark strife, And tell thee a tale or the sorrows that veil My soul from the pleasures of life. We’ll wander to night where the misty moonlight Steals down liko a dream from the sky. And the voice of my song, as it murmars along, bhall revel in raptures gone by— Recalling those hours of music and flowers Which youth in its sunshine hath worn, Bre they fled to the grave wiih the being who gave A hue to the g! lory I mourn. He will list to my voire when the bright stars re And the moon o’er the silver aloud rolls; He will si nile through the night from his dazzling la the region of ransomed soils. The* tell mo I’m wild, but my woes are begflliod With visions f«r puter than they, For I roam in a light where thedarknesiand blight Os this life are ali banished away. 0! a beautiful place is the world, with her face Unveiled in the smile of her God, With her valleys and bowers, her altars and towers. Where the feet cl lost ages have trod Bat I long for the earth where this body bad birth, To claim its poor ashes again, £n& I love the deepgloem going down to the tomb f Where my heart's only treasure was lain. When day’s dying hour giveth forest and tower A splenaor more brilliant than noon, I muse by a grave where the sun gilded wave Awaits the mild glance of the moon. I vi w the warm sun til. bis journey is run, And hiS fiery eye dimmed in the sea, And memory brings one who went down liko the SUB, earth with ite shadows tome. Yet I feel his deep eyes when the golden stars rise, j And the moon through the silver cloud rolls, And his vision moves bright o'er the glories of night, In the kingdom of sinless souls. And I feel that his love by the pure streams above Never foldeth Its pinions to rest; Fori know that the grave chains the body, a slave, j That the mind may with freedom be bleet. 1 From the Watkington Uniin | Increase in the Army. «,.{ Public attention has at length been awakened to the imperative necessity ol an increase in our regular army. The crimes, cruelties, and butch* eries committed on our defenceless lrontiers by BKrowling bands of savages have at length touch ed a responsive chord, and the press of the East, North and South cordialiy re-echo the demands oi their cotemporaries west of the Mississippi for governmental aid and protection. The army, as at present constituted with its skeleton compa nies, does net exceed eight thousand rank and file, and with this mere handiul of men the Sec k retary of War is expected to look after the de | fences of an ocean and gulf coast exceeding that of the whole of Europe, and to protect interior ; frontiers ol greater extent than those of the colos gt «al empire of Russia. The Secietary admits that P row, in a state of peace with all foreigo powers, | and with no immediate necessity to keep a large > force on the Atlentic coast or the lake frontiers, he is unable to j unish or even to hold in proper check tho numerous bands ot hostile Indians who intest and ravage our southwestern frontiers, and who have marked the long lines of travel irom Territory to Territory with rapine, fire, and blood. The Indian robberies and massacres, which have now become of almost daily occurrence, cannot with any color of (airness be attributed to a want of foresight or proper management on the part of the War Department, or to a want cf efficiency on the part of the army. Secretary Davis is known to the country not merely as a distinguished civilian, but as a successful soldier; and having received a military education, and passed some of the best years of his life as a sub altern officer at posts on our extreme frontiers, his enlarged experience has unabied him to be come tamiiiar with the defenceless state of the couutry and the wants of the service. As to the peraonnel of the army, it may be justly said of its officers that they have shown to the world t e example of conquest aad victories unreproach ed by any cruelties or immoralities. On every field in Mexico their valor was attested and their fidelity approved. The perils cf battle, the hard march, the toil of the camp, the nightly guard, the tropical sun, the pestilence, the bard ration and the scanty tare, were their daily ex perience. Our peace establishment is commanded by of ficers w: o encountered all these hardships. They as little heed uow, as then, such perilous fare. They have not been rusting in inaction, nor are they idlers at resorts ol fashion, or the places of indolence and ease. The lrontiers ere their homes. The long lines ol praries, and the plains and the mountains, stretching from ocean to ocean, are their places ot recreation and pleasure. Their vicinage is neighborless for hundreds of miles, and the wilderness and the Indians divide them for years from their families and friends. Can the pertonnel of such army deteriorate or decay f We answer that the disease that wastes the efficiency of the army is not inherent but consequential. For years has the inefficiency of the army, from the want oi numbeis, been de monstrated by robberies unpunished,captives un reclaimed, and massacres unavenged. The Secretary of War has discharged his duty, and not merely to his country and to the branch of the public service over which he so ably pre sides, but to the commonest dictates of humani ty, by recommending an increase of the army.— We presume that the same measure ot necessity will be again pressed to Congress by the same of ficer; and we sincerely trust that not many weeks will elapse before a measure so impera tively demanded for the protection of lite and property of those who are at cnee the pioneers of civilization and freedom will receive the sane * . tion and approval of both houses ot Congress A Libel on American Ladies. —We per ecive that a Madame Fouteno, has published a book in Paris, giving her experience in Ameica. She paid particular attention to social habits, and peculiarities, and, of course, favors us with rich developments. What she saw was in New Y ork, but she calls it ali “America;’’ and never seems to doubt that in Vermont, Georgia and Illinois (if she ever he?ird of these places) the same arti ficial habile prevail. But we make a couple of extracts to show her experience and her opin ions. A ball in thus bit off:— “The ladies, young and pretty, dreseed exceed i*. ingly low in the neek, were worried about by sombra-looking Yankees,dressed in funeral black, like Mai brook’s page. These girls, under their Irank manners, their ingenious forwardness, con- P ceai a profound dissimulation, and a remarkable egotism. Out of threa thousand, there is hardly one capable of love.” Out of a down similar statements, we take the following which is attributed, word for word to an American young lady : “Love is r.diculous in America. A man, In our own eyes, represents a certain quantity of money—that is to say, of comfort and luxury. We dont marry men, we marry tortues. Your wit Mr. Juliien, your intelligence, your nrr.biirty, your handsome face, will never obtain you an beir / ess in America. We never ask of a marrying-, man any other question than this ? How much aha worth'! A husband is not a lovjj—he is only a man that pays our bills, keep* up our house, and showers upon us wealth and the lux uries that wealth procures.” I»Wb trust that every reader knows this to be an avowal, so lar as it claim* a national application, utterly unfounded and unjust. There is no na tion on the face of the globe—if vve may rely on stat sties and the concordant opinion oi unbiased men—where the requirements of genuine lose are ao little set at naught among ua. Nowhere else does station, fortune, avarice, and ail mer cenary considerations, have so ii tie influence upon matrimonial relations. It is our proudest boast that as a nation of virituoui and loving bodies. And a greater insult could not be heap, fd upon at than it contained in the test extract —s—a——a—w—Kwcw——mm—ss—»s above. When that state of things comes to pass the days of this republic will be desei vedly num bered.—Portland Adv. [From the Country Gentleman ] Labor Misapplied. We commend the following article to the care . iul attention of our readers. We can attest to its justice, as well as admire the propriety of its suggestions and the beauty of the language in which they are clothed. We remember our selves to have seen the exhibition once held in this city a large Carpet, all ot worsted work, and which had consumed, we don’t remember, and, if we did, wouldn’t like to tell, how many long years in the making, and yet which was, 1. Worthless to tread upon ; 2. Ugly to look at, and 3. Only a wonder |#or its lacking every good quality ot a really valuable carpet. This was a striking example of the subject in hand—for oth ers, read these paragraphs from t: M article allu ded to, —a communication tjfrthe Ohio Cultiva tor : One part of the exhibition, with which many were doubtless pleased, was fraught with painful interest to us. We allude to the display of labor misapplied in the creation of fancy bed quilts, which must have required months of patience, monotonous toil to complete thenr; and all for what? For ajbedquilt, thereat value of which was Qot at ail enchanced by this prodigal outlay of precious time! They certainly evince a preserving industry, worthy ot a better cause, and which had it been directed in a nobler chan nel. might have resulted in a more enduring monument of the genious ana skill of the iairer laborers. The time thus wasted in cutting cloth into pieces, merely for the sake of stitebingthem together agai-, it devoted to study with equal zeal, would have enriched the mind with scien tific truth for future use, thus extending the sphere of thought, and giving new iuterest to the daily avocations of life. It devoted to gard ening, it might spread a robe of living beauty around the pleasant retreats of home, gladdening not only the loved ones, but causing the passing stranger to pause and admire its loveliness, and bless the hand which arranged its blooming flowers, and trained its fragrant vines Let the fair one who would create “things of beauty” with which to adorne her home, throw aside the senseless patch work, and spend her mornings in the open air, cultivate fruit, flowers and vegeta bles ; let her listen to the melody of the whis pering breexeand gladsome birds. “ And Deauty born ot murmuring sound Shall pas 3 into her face,” and the rose of health on her cheek shall rival the freshness ot those she culti' ales. It she has leisure tor fancy work, and skill to execute what her busy brain conceives, let her “Teach the canvas innocent deceit Or lay the landscape on the snow sheet, thus multiplying scenes of beauty on which they will iove to linger with pleasure and profit. Drawing and painting ere the offsprings of ge nius and intellect, worthy the attention of the young and fair, and though considered merely ernametal accomplishments, by many, may have a potent influence for good. Pictures convey idtae to the minds of infancy and childhood, even when words are unmeaning sounds, and they have stirred the heart or the aged with deep and power ul emotions which had a bene ficial influence, and produced results as iasting as life. It was but the musical influence of a pic ture, which drew from Cowper’s heart his thrill ing poem commencing “On that those lips had language !” which shall be read as long as the language in which it is written continues to be the vehicle j ot “thoughts that breathe and words that burn.” | Such is the influence of spiritual and intellect- ! ! ual beauty, which is calculated to refine and el- ■ evate the soul, and is deserving ot the attention of those who are to be the educators of a future generation. But that beauty which finds ex pression only in fancy patch-work, is of no prac tical utility, and seems unworthy of the atten tion of an intelligent female. [From the Frederick Citizen, Nov. 24 1 Mlm Bunkley A young lady bearing this name passed through Frederick last week, on her way home to Virginia, accompanied by her father, and as it was noised about that she was a “Sister of Charity escaped from the Sisterhood,” near Em mittsburg, with the false coloring and exaggera tions which in these times commonly gather around such rumors, the circumstance for a brief moment excited some little interest among the iovers ol romance. The true facts ot the case,j as we learn from a reliable source are simply as ! follows: Miss B. is irom Norfolk, Va., and a convert to ! the Catholic faith. She went to the Sisterhood about two years ago on a visit and to make a religious retreat. She then petitioned to be re ceived, but on being advised to wait and con sider the matter more maturely (it 'being a rule of the society to admit none unless there is strong assurance of marked vocation,} she re turned home. A year after she renewed her application and was admitted on trial. In this capacity, as a mere probationer or novice, and not a sister, Miss 8., resided at the sisterhood for the last ten months or thereabout and was en gaged in teaching &c. ( until Tuesday morning the 9th instant a short time before the morning bell, when she got out of tho window of her chamber and departed. It is presumed, that sbe contemplated taking the stage for Frederick, which passes only a tew hundred yards from the j Institution, but being disappointed in meeting it, she proceeded on loot to Creagerstown, a dis tance of six or seven miles. We understand that she had always expressed herself as perfect ly happy and even repeated this sentiment the very day before she left. Why she adopted the manner selected for leaving the Institution we are unable to comprehend, unless as is most pro bable she could not muster up moral couiage enough to tell the Sisters her want of vocation j for the benevolent and humble life they have ! embraced and persevered in, and theiefore con j eluded to take French leave. We Jearn that ! Miss 8., if about 18 years of age—young, bloom | ing and accomplished, but of a nervous tempera ment. In conclusion we will merely add that at any other time this trivial incident would be unwor thy of the space we have here given to it. It is not a very rare thing tor a young lady who has taken it into her head that she will become a “Sister of Charity,” to falter and find herself un- j suited to that arduous rite during the preliminary months of probation which all have to undergo,! ! and in all such cases w here an intimation isgiv- : en to the superior of the Sisterhood they are cheerfully and kindly allowed to depart, as • would Miss 8., if shi had only communicated ; : her wishes to that effect. None are admitted as j“ Sisters of Charity,” whose vocation for that! ; arduous life is not clear and satisfactory, and any j ; one alter becoming a Sister, is even free to leave without reproach and without violating a single j j rule ot the order, at the end of any year ot mem ' bership. The vows of the Sisters of Charity. | are merely for one year, and renewed or not at i ; the pleasure ol the party. The Teleokahh and tme War.— The Em- ! perorof Russia has one great advantage over his adversaries in extensive telegraph commuica- j j tions, almost to the scene of war in the Crimea, | by which he reserves intelligence from the bat- j ; tie field several days in advance ot the allies.— The Russian dispatches from the Crimea are i sent by courier to Koursk in forty hours; they are i transmitted Irom Koutsk to Moscow by the sig- ! nal telegraph,and from Moscow to St. Peters i burg by magnetic telegraph. From St. Pe- ! : tersburg they are sent by the signal telegraph to i Warsaw, and from Warsaw by electric telegraph 1 1 to Viena, Beilin, Hamburg, Paris and London. ; The accuracy of early oewi through thisscource ! has been fully tested by subsequent advices, aud the news from tne Crimea byway of St. Peters- ; burg is more relied upon that the reports receiv ed by the Governments of France and Great Britain. The popular estimate of the val ue of well regulated telegraphs has risen some ■ hundred per cent, since the commencement of the war. The telegraphic lines between Vienna and the nearest port on the Black Sea are now neai ly completed, and it is semi-offiiatty announc ed that the news will probably be transmitted in a few days from Sevastopol to Paris within the space of 48 hours. Thence it can be diffus ed all over the continent instantly. Our Railroad.— As last week, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars are secured upon our subscription books at this place tor trie New Market and Aiken connection vt« Edge field C. H (We always italicize the “via Edge- : field C. H.” because that to us is thß very jist of the whole matter.) By a letter just received from a friend at New Market, (which, by the way, should have come to hand more than a week ago) we learn that fifteen thousand dol lars was subscribed there at their meeting In November. How muab more has been subscri- ! I 1 bed since, we have been unable to discover. It is believed that enough may be obtained to save the charter. If not, an extension of time will he asked from the Legislature.— Edgefield Adver tiser. Liquor Laws of Georgia. —The Wilkes Republican says: There is a law upon our statute book which, though ot comparatively recent en actment, has, no doubt, been overlooked by nine out of every ten lawyers in the State, and of which the people.especially merchants, are whol ly ignofant, for there is not a town or village in the State where it is not daily and openly vio lated. We allude to the act of 1838 to regulate the sale of spirituous liquor-, to be found in Cobb's Digest, page 1039. It is the general im pression that our penal statutes all refer to the retail of liquors in quantifies less than one* quart, which is a great error. The act in question pro hibits its sale in quantities less than a gallon, ex cept on certain conditions, a failure to comply with which on the part of the vender, subjects him to “ali the pains and penalties which a per* son retailing without license is now subject to by law.” It is unnecessary to copy the entire act, aud we give only those sections that bear immediate ly upon the point under consideration. Alter reciting the oath to be taken and subscribed, be fore the Clerk of the Inferior Court, by a person applying for a Retail License, the Act proceeds as follows: Sec. 111. From and after the first day of June next, and annually thereafter, each aud every person who may or shall become a vendor cf any measure or quantity lets than one gallon of distill ed spiri uous or intoxicating liquor, shall and are hereby required to take and subscribe the above and toregoing oath. Sec IV. Upon the neglect or refusal of any person so required to take and subscribe the above and toiegoir.g oatb, each and every per son so neglecting or refusing, shall b» aud here by made liable and subject to ali the pains and penalties which a person retailing without li cense is now subject to by law. The Fatal Duel in California— Further Particulrra. —lt was stated iu the California news, published yesterday, that Coi. D. J Wood lief had beeD killed in a duel by Achilles Ke wen. The unlortunate affair originated from a political dispute, Woodlief having charged Kewen with beinga Know-Nothing, whereupon the latter struck him, but subsequently tendered an apology, which was refused. A challenge was then given by Woodlief. and accepted by Kewen. The friends ot the lorrner were Capt Skerrett and Major McDonald, and ot the latter Wake Biiarly and Robt. Wood. The weapons were Mississippi rifles. The Alta California says: The ground was marked off, forty paces, the principals took their places, and on the word • fire” being given, both wheeled and fired, the ball from Mr. Kewen’s rifle passing completely through the heart of Col. Woodlief and out at his back, killing him instantly. It is said that the unfortunate man did not live ten seconds after receiving the wounds. The body of the Colonel was brought over to the city in the ferry boat, and taken to the Tehama House. The scene, wheu the wife of the dead man looked upon ell that remained of the former partner of her joys and soirows, whose silver thread of life was so abruptly cut, and who, but a few short hours before had gone forth in the strength end piime of manhood, is said to have been affecting in the extreme. It is 3aid that Col. Woodlief made his will on : Tuesday evening, leaving all he possessed to his I widow. Mrs. Woodlief aceompan ed her hus- I band on the occasion, and stopped in San Anto i nio while the party went out to fight. She re- I turned with the body. g*Devereux J. Woodlief was born in Greenville county, Virginia, and moved to Texas more than twenty years ago. He was elected a colonel in the Texan army, and was in active service du i ring the revolution there. Subsequently he was I one ot the Texas Rangers. During the Mexican i war be accompamed the American forces as an ! amateur warrior and was distinguished for the independent method in which he took his posi tions during the battles, and the accuracy of his markmanship. He had been engaged in a num ber of duels, has been wounded a number of times in batile, and carries to his grave three bullets in his body. He came to California in 1849, and was collector of foreign miner’s tax in Calaveras county. Col. Woodiief leaves a broth er, a wealthy met chant in New Orleans. With the brother resides a daughter of the deceased, 12 | or 13 years of age. The Fayetteville N. C. Observer, of the 4th instant, says: # “ We learn Irom Raleigh that it is understood Governor Reid will to-day accept the office ol Senator, and vacate the Gubernatorial chair, and that, in accordance with a written opinion of the late Chief Justice Ruffin, the Speaker of the Senate (Warren Winslow, Esq.J will ‘‘ exercise the powers of the Governor,” without vacating his Speakership or his seat in the Senate. Such wi'l be the decision of the majority of the Sen ate. “ By the Constitution, the Speaker of the Sen ate does not become Governor, and vacate his Senatorship ; but he merely, by virtue of his of fice of Speaker, “exercises the powers of the Governor.” If therefore he should resign bis office of Speaker, he could not exercise the pow ers oft he Governor. That is the difference be tween this case and that in which one officer (a Vice President for instance,) succeeds absolutely to a vacated office.” Vicissitudes of Fortune. —A writer in the London Economist, sums up a very able article on Napoleon 111, as follows : “ The same man who landed at Boulogne in 1840, with a single steamer and a few friends, I on a desperate and abortive expedition, revisits it in 1854, to review a vast army and receive the homage of countless spectators. The same man who six years ago lived in obscurity in London, scarcely able to pay his tailor’s, and quite unable to pay his horse dealer’s bill—whom many looked upon as stupid, and whom none looked upon as wise, of whom few augured well, and whom few would trust much, we have just seen receiving the visits and compliments of the consort of our Queen, entertaining three royal i guests at his table, one ot them the son-in-law j of the very monarch whom he had succeeded, and admitted beyond ail denial into the social j circle of royal personages. Nor is this change in I his singular fortunes the only one, nor perhaps the gseatest. We can imagine him smiling with even a more grim satisfaction as he contrasts the language of the English press regarding him in 1852 and nowjgiittng with the Times or the j Examiner, of December, 1851, or of August, I 1854, belore him, and marvelling at the meta morphosis, the unmeassured abuse which was 1 showered upon him at the former date, and the : decorous respect and cordial praise with wthich I he is spoken of now. The ’swell’ and the san | guinary and audacious ruffiiau’ is now the polite ! and sagacious Emperor, and tete-a-tete with j Prince Albert and King Leopold.” Expanding the Chest. —Those in wealthy i circumstance, or who pursue sedentary employ j merit within doors, generally use their lungs but very little, breathe but very little into the chest, and thus, independently of positions, contract a wretchedly narrow small chest, and lay the foun dation for the loss of health aud beauty. All i this can be perfectly obviated by a little atten tion to the manner of breathing. Recollect tbs i lungs are like a bladder tn their construction, j and can be stretched open to double their ordi nary size, with perfect immunity tromconsump | tion. The agent, and the only agent, required is i the common air we breathe, supposing, however, that no obstacle exists external to the chest, such as lacing, or tying it around with stays, or tight dress, or haviog shoulders lay upon it. On ru ling in the morning place yourself in an eract postuie, your chest thrown back and shoulders entirely off the chest; now inhale or suck in ell the air you can, so as to fill the chest to the very | bottom of it, so that no more can be got in ; now hold your breath and thow your arms off behind, holding in your breath as long as you please. Done in a cold room is much better, because the «ir is much denser and will act more powerfully !in expanding Jibe chest. Exercising the chest in this manner will enlarge the capacity and size 1 of the lungs.— Common School Advocate. I The Fayetteville, N. C., Observer, of the 4th | inst., says; “ A letter from New York this morning men tions a report that the Bank of Fayetteville had failed. This is a shameful slander. The Bank had not only met, and still meets, all demands, but it is bappiiy in a situation to extend more re lief by discounts, than it has felt it prudent to do for s: me time past. We understand that it dis counted quite iiberaily last week.” AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. ] SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10. Report of the Secretary of the Treasury. 1 The Secretary of the Treasury in his annual | report, states the receipts of the fiscal year end ing on the 30th of June, 1854, from ali sources j to be $73,549,705, which with the balance in the Treasury on the Ist of July, 1853, $21,912,892, give a total tor the year of $95,492,597. The re ceipts last year was $61,337,574. * The expendi tures for the year have been $75,354,030, leav ing a balance in the Treasury on the Ist of July ; of $20,137,967. The expenditures last year were $54,026,818. The receipts for the quarter ending Saptembor 30th, 1854, are $21,527,302 against $21,356,278. The estimates tor the re maining three quarters of the fiscal year are $42,- J 500,000. The estimated receipts lor the three corresponding quarters of last year were S4O,- j 300,000. The amouat of public debt outstanding on the Ist of July, was $47,180,508. Showing a payment of $25,220,579 within the fiscal year, j The Secretary anticipates a falling* off in the customs, owing to the Reciprocity Treaty and short crops. The tonnage of the United States exhibits an increase for the year of 395,892 tons. The imports for the year are $26,321,217, in ex cess of the exports. The flattering state of the revenue indaces the Secretary again to call the attention of Congress to the propriety of reduc ing the revenue from customs. He recommends but three rates of duty, 100, 40 and S 5 per cent., ! in place of the eight schedules at present in use. The recommendation for the repeal of the fishing bounties is reviewed. The subject of drawback duties on refined sugar is also recommended to the consideration of Congress. The Secretary gives a statement of the currency, which makes the total amount of gold and silver coin iti cir- ! culation on the 30th of September, 1854, at I $211,000, against which there is a total bank cir- j culation of $204,688,209. He expresses an op position to the circulation of notes of sftiall de- i nomination. The Great Snow Storm at tub North ani> East.— We gave an account yesterday (says the Baltimore Sun of the 6th inst,) of a gieat fall of Snow in various sections of the North and East The storm satin in many places on Saturday, and continued until Monday, and was accompanied by a violent gals of wind. At Easton, Pa., on Monday morning, the snow was four leet deep on a level, and near Bristol, N. J., ! it drifted to thetlepth 6f six feet. The telegraph reports the depth of the snow, by actual mea surement, on Monday morning, in several places in Western New York, as follows : Buffalo, 10 inches; Lockport, 12 inches; Broek- | port, 10 inches; Rochester, 15 inches; Newark, : 20 inches; Geneva, 10 inches; Auburn, 18 inch- ! ea; Syracuse, 24 inches; Oneida, 20 inches; Uti- 1 ca, 18 inches; Troy, 12 inches; Albany, 15 inch es; Poughkaepsie, 12 inches; Waterville,36 inch- ! es; Oriskany Fails, 36 inches. Delegate prom Kaksa*.— The St. Louis Re- j publican states that Mr, W. Whitfibld, the pro-slavery candidate, is elected a delegate to Congress from Kansas, by a large majority, over i Mr. R. P. Fienniken, the anti-slavery candidate. The Lancaster Ledger, of the 6tb instant, j says: 44 On Wednesday night last, an unknown per son came to the house of Mr. Arant, in Chester- : field district, near the Lancaster line, and called him out as if on business, and while Mr. A. was standing the porch he was shot through the lungs. He lived until Friday. The assassin has not yet been discovered.” The Columbia Times of Friday says:—“As the Charleston train of cars were passing near the foot of Richardson-street yesterday afternoon, a man rushed out of a pine thicket on the edge ol the road and threw himself across the track Before the engine could possibly be checked, he was caught by the cow-catcher and dragged along the road for about twenty-five yards and then fell off. Whether the cars passed over him or not, we did not ascertain; he was dreadfully mutilated, however. ‘'Since writing the above, we have ascertained that Cook was the name of the unfortunate in* 1 dividual, and that be has been in the employ merit of a Tobacconist of this city.” The statement which has appeared in many of the papers to the effect that an order had been received prohibiting any further enlistment of persons not native Americans into the marine | or naval service, is said to be wholly without foundation. There has been no change what ever in the regulations upon this subject. En listments take place every day at the yard in j Charlestown of persons of foreign birth or pa rentage. A meeting of the dentists ot New York city was hel 1 on Monday evening, in reference to the case of Dr. Beale. The explanation of the lat ter i.i regard to the affair was, in the opinion of the meeting, considered entirely consistent, so far as the action of chloroform upon the system is concerned. A destructive fire occurred at Black Rock, a few miles from Buffalo, N. Y., on Sunday last. The Frontier Flour Mills, with all their contents, were destroyed, including fifteen thousand bushel* of grain and three thousand barrels of flour. The propeller International, lying at the dock, took fire and was burnt to the water’s edge. She was owned by the Buffalo and Brantford Rail road Company, and was valued at $15,000. The mills were fully insured. Columbus Railroad Subscriptions. —On Monday last, the people of Columbus voted by a very decided majority in favor of the subscrip tions proposed by the City Council, to the Mo bile and Girard, and Montgomery and West Point Railroads. The evening of the same day Council met, and made the subscriptions—slso,- 000 to the first, and $50,000 to the latter road. Another Bans Defaulter. — A teller in one of the oldest banking bouses at Chicago is said to have disappeared, being defaulter to an amount ranging from $40,000 to $70,000.- It is supposed to have been squandred in gambling. At its recent session, the Methodist Confe rence of Michigan passed resolutions in favor of the repeat of the fugitive slave law, and also de clared that it was in favor of the next General Conference enacting euch a rule of discipline as will directly operate to exclude ali slaveholders from the M. E. Church.

The BandersviUe Georgian. This excellent, weekly of which P. C. Pen- ; dleton, Esq-, has recently become the editor, we observe is hereafter to be published simultaneous ly in Sandersvilie and Sparta. In announcing the new arrangement, the editor says the paper will be considered the local medium for com munication with the public as much of the one place as the other. A portion ot the paper will be exclusively devoted to Sparta, local news items, communications and advertisements Editorial assistance having been engaged in Spar- ; ta the more completely to carry out this arran gement. The Georgian is au ably conducted and in- j fluential journal, and already enjoys a very large circulation, particularly in the counties lying be- j tween this city and Milledgeville. Itthereloreol- ’« fers a valuable advertising medium for our mer chants, who desire t > extend their business ac quaintance in that direction. Operations or thb Philadelphia Mint.— During the past month the purchase of silver at the Philadelphia mint amounted to $405,900. The coinage of gold for the same time, principal ly in gold dollars and quarter eagles, was $529,- 299. The coinage of silver, principally in half dollars and dimes, amounted to $288,000. The receipts of California gold amounted to only $825,200, and from other sources to $4,153. This falling off is attributed to the operations of the New York Assay office and the California mint. Total receipts of gold at the Philadelphia mint for the last [el van months $32,515,929, against $48,298,552 in the same time last year. Unfortunate Occurrence jn Chester.— We learn (says the Wirisboro’ Register,) that on j the evening of the 3rd instant, a man by the i name of Wm. C. Leggings was dangerously stabbed by one Charles A. Murrell, in a quarrel ; about some trifling matter. Murrell made hi* ! escape to Columbia by the Freight Train, and i probably not knowing that the Telegraph con ! veying the intelligence was travelling the same | road, he was captured soon after his arrival in I Columbia. Mr. Soule. —The London Examiner, the ; leading liberal paper in England, in one ol its late issues, received by the last steamer, uses the ; following language in referegee to Mr. Soule : “As we last week anticipated, the French Government has found it impossible to sustain its refusal of the right of innocent passage to Mr. Soule through its territories; and having com mitted a great absurdity, has, on second thought, made the amende honorable to the American di ! plomatist. The excuse is that the relusal was founded on a supposition that Mr. Soule meant | to take up his residence in Paris, whereas, it now j finds out that his indention was only to pass I through that capital, en route for Madrid. But, j surely ali this prying sensibility on the part of a great nation, like France, is most unworthy. Mr. Soule, it seems, from his first entrance across i the Spanish frontier into France, was dogged | with spies to an extent alternately annoying and ; amusing,and when this unpleasant surveillance was represented to Mr. Drouin de I’Huys, that able and courteous minister could only express j regret for that which he was not himself respon sible for, and felt thoroughly ashamed of. Thus the French Government has made itself supreme | ly ridiculous, and Mr. Soule, a personage of in | finite importance—which was what Mr. Soule | wanted. [From the Charleston Courier, Sth inst. \ The Chamber of Commerce and the Malls. A a special meeting of the Chamber of Com merce yesterday, convened for the purpose of considering the Mail arrangement* after the first I of January, prefaced by a few forcible and perti ; nent remark*, Col. A. O. Andrews introduced the following Resolutions, which were seconded ; by Smith Mowry, Jr., Esq. Resolved, That this Chamber respectfully, but earnestly, recommend to the Postmaster General the eonveyanceof the great Northern and Wes tern Mails, eft-'r the first of January, by a line of steamers between Wilmington and Charleston, ’and also by steamers between Charleston and Savannah. Resolved, That the Chambers of Commerce of I Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans be forth j with respectfully invited to unite with this body j in the foregoing recommendation. The venerable Ch irles Edmondston. Esq., then arose and supported the Resolutions in an elo quent, well considered and effective address. The Resolutions were unanimously adopted. John Heart, Esq , then introduced the follow i ing Resolution, the adoption ot which by the | Chamber was also unanimous : Resolved, That the Postmaster General be earnestly requested to provide for the convey ance of the mail between Charleston and the interior of the State of South Carolina and points connecting therewith. On motion, it was Resolved, That the above resolutions be pub ; lished, and that they be telegraphed to the Hon | orable Postmaster General and the Chambers of | Commerce named. Exertions were made to telegraph the pro ! ceedings to the Post office Department at Wash ! ington, but they have as yet been ineffectual, the j wires being out of order. We regard this action of the Chamber as most I judicious, and as presenting the only feasible plan j for securing our mail facilities after the Ist Jan uary—that is to say—if the existing difficulties ! between the Department and the Railroad are j not previously arranged. Our experience in re \ terencetotbe Wilmington boats, leads us to be j lieve that we should not be in any worse con j dition by a return to them. The" transmission ! of the mails horn thiscity to Savannah, also by I steamers, would not be disadvantageous in any point of view. It is infinitely preferable to a Horse mail, which must not be endured. Besides, i financially, we should suppose it far more econo mical to the Department, than this odious alter j native. There are many collateral benefits, which we need not specify, that would enure to our city from the conveyance by steamers. The cities all South of us are as deeply interested as ourselves in this matter, and their co-operation has very properly been invited by the Chamber. We sincerely trust that the Post Office De partment will evince it* desire to discharge its obligations, not only to us, but to the whole Southwest, by a ready adoption of the plan indi cated in the resolutions. We are unwilling to suppose the Postmaster General indifferent to our accommotion, in a mat ter so vital to us, as the speedy conveyance of our mails,and anxiously and confidently await the acquiescence of that officer. * " >— ■ Singular Escape.—The Newburyport Herald of last Friday week, says: As the Portland train was passing through South Maiden on its way to Boston, on Thurs day.afternoon, a Scotchman who complained of being sick and was consequently allowed by the conductor to go into the saloon, fell out of the car beside the track while the train was running at the rate of forty miles an hour. A brother of the man, who was attending upon him, came to the conductor and told him that hi* brother, in reaching out of the window, had iost his balance and fallen outward. The story seemed so un likely that it was not believed till person* went into the saloon and found the man missing. Mr. Cram, the conductor, with some reluctance, as some gravel train* were behind him coming’on, alter sending out his Flagmen and stationing others upon the rear car, to warn advancing trains, backed the train a mile and a half to the spot where the man fell from the window, and found him sitting beside the track, unhurt,’ and not even a bruise or a scratch upon him. Con. •idering the great speed at which the train was running at the spot, and the seize of the man who weighs about 190 pounds, it is really a wonderful escape It may be that the high speed of the tram was his safety, and falling close be side the car the wind of the passing train per traps bouyed him up to some extent, and droo ped bun upon the ground as gently a, a feather.
