Rev. Mr. Connor.—. This eminently worthy
and pious man, who has officiated for the past
two years as Pastor of the Methodist Church in
this city, delivered his valedictory discourse to
the congregation in his charge on Sunday last.—
During his residence in this city, Mr. C. has
I eminently succeeded in establishing himself, not
only in the good opinion, but affection of our
community, by his uniformly pious and consist
ent walk, his truly liberal and catholic spirit, his
untiring industry and perseverance in the duties
of bis holy calling, and by all those social amen
ities which so well befit the ministerial voca
tion and characterize the true gentleman. In
parting with our Reverend friend, (which, ac
cording to the order of the Church he serves we
must do at least lor a year,) we think we but ex
press the general sentiment when we say. he
has well and zealously acquitted himself of his
arduous and delicate responsibility, and that as a
man and a clergyman he is deserving of our l
highest regards, and that wherever his lot may
be cast in future, he may be assured of the best
wishes ot this community in behalf ot the wel
fare of himself, and his no less highly esteemed
and beloved family.— Columbus Enquirer, sth in

Extensive Fire in Salem.—The Russell
Register of the Ist, contains an account of a most
destructive conflagration w hich occurred in Sa
lem, Russel! county, Ala., on the 29th ultimo, by
which the entire business part of that thriving
place was destroyed. We are gratified to learn
that no injury was sustained in life or limb.
The following is a list of the sufferers, as de
rived trom a private letter to the above paper;—
James B. Reese, ©3OOO to 84000; J. I). Adair.
84500; Wilson & Sturkie, $4500; Drs. McCoy

We sincerely sympathize with our Salem
friends in this great calamity, falling upon them,
as it does, just at the completion of their late no
ble and praise-worthy efforts for the improve
ment and advancement of tteir beautiful village;
but we have every confidence that riothwith- I
standing tbo weight of the blow, there is among
them a spirit of enterprise and perseverance that
will enable them to rise above their misfortunes,
and that ere iong their waste places will avain
be made to blossom as the rose.— lb.
J. S. Cxrers, Esq.—We were yesterday grati
fied to learn that our former fellow citizen, John
Splatt (Cripps, Esq., Secretary of Legation at
Mexico, had arrived in his native city, after an
absence of six years, most of which time had
been passed by him in the State of California
The immediate object ot the visit of Mr. Cripps,
at the present time, was to accompany the lady
of our Minister, Gen. Gadsden, and her sister, to
their home in this city.— Charleston Courier, 6th.

The Weather.—Winter is upon us in eai
nest, and we had yesterday by far the severest
day of the season. It is a trying time to many,
and in view ol the increase of destitution and or
phanage that must follow our recent visitation,
we deern it but necessary to give a timely hint
to the charitable.— H.
Detention of the Mails.—The Northern
and Western Mails did not arrive in this city last
evening until about half-past six o’clock, in con
sequence of the axle ot the Tender attached to
the Up-Columbia Train having broken about
eight miles on tips side of Branchville, obstruc
ting the passage cf the Up-Augusta train, and
causing a detention until the two down trains
arrived, when they were connected and brought
to this city. The o'her locomotives, also, pro
ceeded with the Up-Columbia and Augusta

Judge Douglas—Sam Beinau.
In'‘Dorsey’s Dispatch (Wetumpka) we find
the following extract Irom the Chicago Times :
During Judge Douglas’ tour he was able to fill
every regular appointment made by him except
two. One of them was made at Lacon, on Tues
day last, and the other at Aurora. He spoke at
Princeton for,severai bous on Wednesday. These
appointments he was unable to fulfil in conse
quence of extreme illness.
The abolitionists ot this city having sent their
appropriate mouth piece, the negro Fred. Doug
las, to Aurora for the express purpose of insult
ing Jndge Douglas, the illness of the latter gen
tleman was a sad disappointment to them. We
think they may rejoice that the latter was not
able to speak.
But as the negro had been paid for a day’s due
ty, they determined to use him any how, and for
this purpose they organized a meeting at the
(Jniversalist Church, aud the negro apostle there
held forth for over an hour. He was listened to
quietly, and heard without interruption. He was
tollowe I by a Mnine-law Abolition Know-No
thing, named Bernan, hailing liom New Yuri:,
ot the Legislature ot which State he claims to
have been at one time a member. Both of these
gentry, or “ brethren,” as they styled them
selves, spake long and forcibly on the value of
free speech, free press, and free everything gen
erally.
i’he Dispatch says. "Now this Beman must
be, as the Alabama Journal used to call him.
‘ Our bam,’ who once lived in Wetumpka.”
We have been inlormed that Mr. Bernan (who
is, perhaps, as well known to our readers as to
ux) resides in New York, and taut he is, or lias
been, a snernbar of the legislature of that State
We fear taat he is the man mentioned in the ox
tract from the Chicago papier—we say fear, be
cause he has relatives in this State whom we
highly esteem, if it is bam Beman, he has for
feited the regad of his Southern kindred,and *
one more addition to the long list of traitors thoi
are daily deserting the homes of their birth.
Salks of Bonds and Real Estate. —Meeew.
Philbrick & Bell sold yesterday $3,500 worth ol
7 per cent. City Bonds, at 90 a 93. The bid*
being unsatisfactory, rio more bonds were offer
ed.
Some real estate was put up also, but the pri
ces offered being much less than of those at
which the same property could have been dis
posed of six months ago. it was not pressed upon
the market, and consequently no sales were
made.
This is not the time to offer suggestions to the
newly elected Mayor and Board of Aldermen ,
the finances of the City will doubtless receive
'neir early attention ; yet justice to them re
quires us to state, what indeed the above sale*
already disclose, that they do not enter upon os
- under the most favorable circumstances.—
They will have important duties to perform, not
the least of which will be the stopping of every
unnecessary leak by which the money in the
Treasury can escape. Os course all obligations
must be discharged, and the character of the city
maintained; but hazardous enterprises and ex
penditures of questionable utility, will doubtless
be subjected to the closest scrutiny.
In what we have here said, we do not mean
to reflect in the remotest degree upon the present
or any former municipal administration, aa*l
least of all, upon that which is about going oet
ol power. But the condition ol tr.e country is
very different now from what it was a few
mouths ago; and while it is not given to man
to see inro the future, it is his privilege and hie
duty to look at the present, and prepare to meet
its demands. The times require great circucn
spection (torn ail, and especially from corporate
bodies.
After the foregoing was in type, we learned
that Mr. T. J. Walsh sold five shares of stock in
the Bank of the State of Georgia, at 110 J. and
five at 109. Some Centra! Railroad stock was
sold by Messrs. Philbrick & Bell at 105, a»<!
and 5,000 convertible bonds ot the Southwestern
Road at 88. These as well as the other sales,
were made in front ol the Court House.—tQ*

Negro Shot.—Between the hours of seven
and eight o’clock last evening, a man named
John Bergheim shat a free negro named Mutehel
Boifeuiliet in the head with a pistol, inflicting a
slight wound. The affair occurred in a grocery
and bar-room at the corner of Bull and York
streets, near the Court House, The circumstan
ces of the case, as related to us, are as follows;
Bergheim and the negro were in the back roots
of the grocery, where liquor is kept for sale. Af
ter some conversation in relation to the result of
the election, the negro took out his pocket-book
aad offered to back his opinion of the same with
a bet. As soon as the pocket-book was seen by
Bergheim, he took possession of it, and a dispute
ensued. Bergheim after examining the Docket
book, returned it to the negro, and struck him o
blow in the mouth. The negro returned the
blow with a small stick. Bergheim immediate
ly drew a revolver, and, firing, shot the negro in
the head—the ball glancing, and only inflicting,
a slight wound. Bergheim, we learn, attempt
ed to fire once or twice more, but his pistol did
not go off. He then escaped out of the back
dour, and was followed some distance by several
boys, and one or twoot the police, but succeeded
in making his escape. The police continued fa
active pursuit, but we could not learn that they
bad succeeded in making the arrest.— SavunvuJt

The Railroad Movement in Albany. —Tbe
Committee appointed by tne citizens ol Albany,
Geo., to obtain subscriptions to the contemplated
railroad from Albany to the South Western con
nection, in the direction of Eufaula, have reflec
ted stock taken to the amount ot $43,400.
We observe that a meeting of the citizens »l
the surrounding country is called by Mr. W. W.
Cheeverar.d otners, to meet in Albany to-day,
"to consider the great importance of promoting
their own interest, by the extension of the South
Western Road from Americus to Dougherty
county.” .>»». a
This movement is regarded by the editor of
the Patriot as being in opposition to the Albaay
and Eufaula enterprise. The editor, alter allu
ding to the fact that the people ol Albanv are
not invited to the meeting, adds :
‘ The interests of the people of Albani/ and
those of the swraunding country are identical. It
is their interest to secure the amount necessary
for a road 16 miles, and fhen to secure, if posa
ble, the extension of the South Western Road.
Theie has been no opposition felt or exhibited
by the friends ol the Albany Road to the exten
sion of the South Western. On the contrary,
they have promoted that project whenever they
could do it consistently with their interests. W«
regret to learn that a spirit of opjxisitiou to the
Albany Road is being exhibited by some gentle
men who are sup|>osed to have prospective i»-
terests in a rival town speculation at the end of
the Soutn Western Railroad extension.”—
Facts about Guano.
It is scarcely fifteen yeers since Guano was
first recommended to the notice of tanners in
England and Scotland, as a substitute for farm
yard manure, or an auxiliary. Notwithstaadisg
the incredulity and caution with which its claims
were at first received, there is now an importa
tion annually oi about 15,000 tons into the dif
ferent ports of Great Britain, which, at em aver
age ol £lO per ton would amount to an expen
diture of one million five hundred thousand
pounds sterling, or about $7,500,000 on this one
foreign manure alone. In one county ot Scot
land—that of East Lothian—it is estimated that
from 12 to 18 shillings sterlings are expended
tor Guano and other portable manures for every
acre of the cultivated land. Indeed, sometimss
as much as lorty shillings’ worth of Guano, or
nearly ten dollars’ worth, is applied to one sia
gle acre. A case of this kind is mentioned in
the last number ot’ the Journal ot the Royal
Agricultural Society. Ou a very inferior piece
of laud, for which only twenty shillings was
paid as rent, as much as forty-six ebulings'
worth of Guano was applied to every acre, the
crop abundantly justiiying this very liberal ex
penditure.
The beneficial results from the use of Guann K
if not always the greatest, are at least always
the most observable, when applied to poor or
worn-out soils—such as cannot be made to pra
iluceaiemuneratiug crop by ordinary means.—
On such soils it will often be found to yay to
apply 2UO or 300 pounds of Guano, at an ex
pense of $5 or $6, when Guano costs SSO pez
ion. When applied to soils in good conditio*,
the increase in the crop is not observable; bat
the increase ol crop is generally very strikiag
indeed when the fertiliser is applied to lauus
greatly exhausted of their fertility.
As the fertilizing properties of Guano are iu
too concentrated a condition to be applied in an
undiluted state to seeds or plants, it must be di
luted by being compounded with some innocuous
or inert substance. Dry leached ashes, or saw
dust, or pulverized peat from ditches, w ill answer
the purpose. One part or bulk ot Guano may be
mixed with five or six parts or bulks of either of
these. Os thiu compound a tablespoonful is suf
ficient ter air ll of corn or other vegetable.—
