A spiral band commences at the base of the shaft,
and winds up gracefully to the capital upon which is
plnced a pfH tiie *>f Napoleon ns Emperor. It was melt
ed down to form a part of the house of Henry IV dur
ing the restoration, it was taken from Pont Nenf and
replaced o.i th * s'lmmit. In the year 1833, the present
statue of Napoleon was covered w’ith crape, and placed
where it now stands upon a plinth of granite. At the
entrance w hich leads to the top is a soldier of Nupo
leons, to whom you pay a tew aaua to furnish yon with
h lantern, and you go up t< the statue We could but
think ns we gazed silently u|K>n it, of him to whom it was
erected. Proudly it stands n temple of greatness,
mocking the ravages of time, the whirlwind and the
storm ; its tenure is eternity. To the. old, the young,
the good, and brave, what a mark of gratitude, what
an example for imitation. How the heart must beat
when he who knew him best, points out this monument
and exclaims with feelings of love and admiration this
ta our Napoleon , it perpetuates his fame, and the grat
itude of his people.
Death ol Francis Winter Ksq.
I he Savannah Republican of Mouduy last says:
Our columns appear clothed in mourning this, dav as a
tribute ofrespect to the memory of FRANCIS WIN
TER, ol thi* c ty,one of the proprietors of this paper,
who departed this life on Saturday evening last, in the
thirty-fourth year of his age. The untimely end of
the deceased forcibly suggests the solemn truth that
“in the midst of life we arc in death.” It is hut a few
days since that he was walking erect among us, enga
ged in his ordinary avocations, and in the full enjoy
ment of bodily and mental health. It was only on
Thursday evening last, that the symptoms of his dis
ease assumed an alarming aspect, but the few hours
that have rolled away since then have sufficed to loose
the silver cord of life, and summon him hence from the
theatre of an honorable and useful career. His star, ra
diant and glowing with bright promise, has pa'ed its
fires before an inexorable decree, and all its brightness
is clouded over by the shadows of death.
Mr. Winter was a native of the State of Maine,hut
has been during the last thirteen years a resident of th s
city, where his correct deportment and great capacity
for business have secured to him situations ofhigh trust
and friends who knew how to place a value on his
worth. With a delicate physicial organization, he pos
sessed a soul, calm, self-relying and well balanced. He
was a generous and sincere friend, without affectation
or pretension, a kind indulgent and attached husband
and father and an useful member of that s<ciety in
which his lot was cast. He has left a disconsolate
widow and two children to deplore his untimely death.
War Expenses.
Daniel Webster a year ago declared in the United
Senate that the expenses of the war w'ould amount to
one million and a half per week. The government
press and its echoes everywhere ridiculed the estimate.
But the War Secretary, has made a report to the
Senate at their call, in which it is stated, that the War
Department alone, has expended during the first year
Forty one milliona , aeven hundred and eighty one
thousand, seven hundred dollars.—Fatriot
Santa Anna and the C ouducta.
In reference to the seizure by Santa Anna of a con
ducta with $*2,000,000, the property of British merch
ants, soon alter his re-appearance in Mexico, a corres
pondent of the New Orleans Evening Mercury of March
7th says: ‘‘The truth of the matter is, Santa Anna did
get $*2,000,000, but he took it with the concurrence and
by the sanction of the British Government. ** *
Yet still the sequel of this $*2,000,000 highway robbery
will be given anon.”
Imprisonment lor Fines.
‘‘By a law of New York, any person who shall have
been fined, and is imprisoned for non-payment of such
fine, each day's imprisonment of such jierson shall li
quidate $3 of the fines so imposed.**
Wisconsin.
The Democrats of Wisconsin, in anticipation of the
adoption of the New Constitution, have called a Con
vention at Madison oil the 10th of April for the nomi
nation of candidates for State officers. The first Con
gressional district is to hold its Convention at East
Troy, Walworth county, on the 18th of April, and the
second Congressional district at Madison on the 11th of
April the Democrats are afraid that the Whigs may run
both Clay and ‘l’aylor and elect one or the other by the
House of Representatives. Hence their anxiety to get
Wisconsin into the Union, which would give them an
unquestioned majority.
Woman’s Law.
The Alabama Legislature has passed a Bill lo secure
the rights of married women against the unlimited pow
ers which have heretofore existed in husbands. We
copy below the first Sec. in the bill which comprises the
essence of the law :
Sec. 1. Be it enacted, tfc. If any woman, beforeand
at the time ol marriage, shall have and own any prop
erty, or estate, whether the same be real, personal or
mixed, in pousession, remainder or reversion ; or if any
such estate shall alter marriage, by descent, gift,devise
or otherwise accrue to any woman—all such estate and
and property, shall be taken, held and esteemed in law,
as the separate estate of such woman, and for her sole
and separate use—notwithstanding her coverture—and
no husliand shall by his marriage, acquire a right to the
property which his wife had upon his marriage, or
which she may alter acquire by descent, gift, devise or
otherwise, except as hereinafter provided for.
The Establishment of the Harpers.
The Literary Messenger lor January, contains the
following statistics of the great printing establishment
ol the Messrs. Harper and Brothers at New-York, the
most extensive, undoubtedly in the United Stales :
“ There are 22 presses in the establishment, of which
three arc Napier presses and 19 by steam. They
work otf regularly 70 reams of paper per day, i. e. 33,-
600 sheets, making2ol,6oosheets per weekend 10,483,-
200 per year. This is equal to 1000 oct vot. of over
500 pages per day, 6000 per week and 312,000 per year.
“ The fixtures lit the bindery are valued at $13,000.
Here are annually used 52 bbls ol tlour lor paste, 42 bar
rels of glue, 1,000 packages us gold leaf, 60 tons of
pasteboard and 750 pieces of muslin of 40 yards each.
Then 14,400 sheep must tie slain yearly to supply skins
for covers. Beneath the Imildmgs (for tliere are 5 ten
ements) are immense vaults, where the stereotype plates
are deposited. These have been accumulating for 25
years, and now amount to 500,000 pounds weight, worth
74 cents per lb ; 800 pounds of metal are used weekly
for casting, making 41.600 pounds per annum In thu
composing rooms there are from 60,000 to 70,000 pounds
of type. The siuouut paid to employers about 400 in
number, (onr fourth of whom are females) is $200,000
per annum.”
Churches in New-York City.
Twenty years ago (1828.) when the jiopirlutiou of

worship here, of all denominations, was 101, of which
22 were of w mil Now, with a population of nbout
400,000, wc have 219 places of this character, showing
that we are better supplied now than formerly. Espe
cially does this uppesr lo be true wlien we consider the
larger dimensions of the more modern structures. In
architectural benily and cost of materials the difference
is still greater. To say that the amount of capital now
invested in cnurcli pmjierty is four times as great as it
was twenty yeuraago, would not be exaggerating The

Messrs. FihLois. —l see the geopit about Columbus',
apeak wiih great contempt about the insignificance of
iih* 1 oudtown Branch. It is true that we country peo
ple, art* rather pin in and old fashioned. We never yet
have thought of having our pictures printed upon our
notes ol hand, nor are we up lo riding about the coun
try in a “ coach and four,” as does the President of the
Muscogee Company. Plain farmers as we are, we have
no idea of pulling our money into the handsof any man
who will be guilty of such nonsense, or of any set ol
men who will worship such a man for his money, and
make him President of a great Railroad undertaking.
W e have learned Messrs. Editors, down in these parts,
the way they do business in Columbus—some of us un
derstand them to our sorrow, and whenever we see them
raise the steam up high, either in religion, railroads or
politicks, we stand from under, and look out for a gen
eral tumble, or a blow up. For this very reason we want
n Railroad that we may get out of the tray, when
there is a general explosion on the far-famed Banks ol
the Chattahoochee. You Macon people are not slow
at breaking Bonks neither, hut we’ve got you now just
where we want you, and just where you’ll le genteel
and polite to us all the time. Savannah is too skeary
to put her funds where she expects no return, und old
uncle Jimmy Everett knows a thing or too about man
aging money matters. Nor are Joel Crawford and Ma
jor Black very slow themselves, where the dimes are to
be counted. They don’t deal in p etures or fancy work,
like their neighbors up at Coluinhu9, but when it conies
to showing the teeth and putting down the hard shiners,
I’m inclined to think they could buy ?nd sell Mr. Win
ter and his whole Hock, in about the same time that it
took Gen. Scott to conquer Mexico. As to the Editor
of the I imes, he don’t talk to suit us out here no how.
lie learned his Engineering under Gen. Pillow, out at
Camargo, where they put the enibunkment on the
wrong side ej the ditch. He is a genteel, nice sort of a
a man and understands the fancy doins first rate, but he
no more understands railroads than 1 understand
dancing the Polka. We can’t take lessons from him.
Allow me however to ask him just one or two ques
tions. If the South-Western Road is destined to be
sueh a terrible failure, why is he and h s friends so
nervous on the subject ? If it is going to break down
as he says, and leave the 100,000 hales of cotton destin
ed to be grown in the South-Western counties to find
their w ay to Columbus or the Chattahoochee us hereto
fore, why all his lamentations ? Would it not be better
for the Times , to come right out, like my old friend
Flournoy, and acknowledge the com ? Would it not
be wiser to confess that the South-Western Road will
be built, and that it will lick up Columbus like a pinch
of salt ?
Columbus has long looked with contempt upon the
people of the south-west. She may yet find to her sor
row that they have got some energy and spirit. The
time was w hen they affected to despise Griffin. That
town is now no mean rival. Her people may vapor as
much as they please hut the day is not far distant when
Pondtown or some other point on the South-Western
Road, will he looked upon as on equally formidable rival
in these parts. MARION.

Messrs Editors: —Will you correspondent P. be
good enough to inform us .*
1. How that poor Fox happened to lose his tail ?
‘2. Was it taken off under the influence of.Chloroform
Letheon,or Perchloride ofFormyle ?
3. Was it by amputation or dislocation ?
4. Is the fox convalescent or how ?
11 Q
COMMUNICATED.
Let us reason the matter J
One year ago the world was convulsed under the in
fluence of the Letheon. Since, then Cloroform has not
only taken the field, but has made an overwhelming
sensation ; and claims for its converts hundreds who
are stiil ignorant of its good or bad effects, besides ma
ny of our prolesiynal friends who have taken up the
system with heart and soul, together with quacks who
have since abandoned its use because they had not
sufficient skill and nerve to become fully initiated in its
use.
Like all new systems that have gone before, it is im
possible for a community, ora set of individuals to form
any idea of its future success until sufficient time and
experience can be had to try its merits and demerits.
Who with half an idea cannot see the possibility of
nearly every tiling in common aw, being turned as a
very destructive agent to at least a greater portion of
mankind. Hundreds ol laboring men drop down dead
alter an over draught of cold water, and thousands tum
ble into their graves by satisfying a gluttenou9 appetite,
and hundreds of thousands sink from our view by drain
ing to the dregs some prescribed antidote for their re
lief. No less than 30,000 die annually by the beastly
use of intoxicating liquors and millions more are pre
maturely rolled into their graves to satisfy no less rapac
ious appetites and passions than those that hurry them
there. And this is not all, more than one half of our race
die in infancy from the ills incident to that age, causing
rivers of tears to flow, and the wail and cry of the whole
human family.
But who, I ask will cease to quaff from the crystal
fountain ? or who will close their mouths to starve in
this land of plenty ? and who, when sickness or disease,
calls loud on Death to seize its victim, will spurn the
kind physician from his tide, because another fellow
mortal drank his ruin from unskilled advice ? Does
the horrible death of 30,000 drundards diminish the
estimated medicinal value of ardent spirits f Or do the
millions just ready to take the steps of their predeces
sors shrink when the cup of pleasure is extended ?
And because such a multitude of hearts are wrung in ag
ony by the premature death of budding infants who
shall utter his mandate, that no more shall be bom into
the world ?
Does not this suffice that good may be turned lo evil
and that the simplest remedies can easily be made fatal t
and does it not teach that all things placed within our
reach are for using and not abusing 1
Because news papers give accounts of two individu
als with whom an article has proved fatal, when per
haps millions have used it advisedly and with success,
is no reason we should abandon the whole system with
out giving it a fair test! True, Cloroform is an article
that should be administered with judgment, but that
editors and families and communities should become
ularmed at so simple a thing, is no greater wonder
than that such persons do not stop to give it a fair liear
ing and investigation. Suppose two or three have been
thrown into an unnatural state ; is it not a charitable
conclusion, that perhaps they would have died under
any other circumstances, and since ail newspaper ac
counts differ so wifely on every individual case, should
we have reason to be in the least disappointed if at last
all reports possessed much more of the gas than truth.
But on the other hand we have it Irani aII parts und troni
the pens of the most scientific in England und tins
country that properly used, Clorolorm ranks as the great
est boon yet discovered ill the relief of mankind.
Then let us have charily tor new systems and inven
tions, and il possible become informed in such matters,
giving praise und merit to that which after candid and
sober refieetton, claims our highest admiration.

he has published, says, “The doctrine of the absorption
ol medicinal substances into the blood, is now general
ly received, for it is capable of physiological, chemical
and theraputical demonstration. It is by its iminedi
atc operation on the vital stream that Sands’ Sarsapa
rilla has performed such astonishing cures of Ulcerous,
Eruptive and Glandular Disease's, and a host of other
maladies of which infected blood is the fountain. The
detergent elements of this extraordinary preparation,
are transmitted through the communication between
the digestive apparatus and the veins into the circuia
tion, and thereby its neutralizing and purilying proper
*{f* u?P| , lhat 18 foreign to the composition of heiu
thy blood. Ihe rapidity witli which the various indi
cations of diseases ure removed by tins medicine, a-id
it uniform success, is established by a multitude of at

DIED
In this city, on Thursday the 23rd inst , Mrs. Hen
rietta G.—wife of Ed ? * n Graves, aged 30.
In no circumstances .. death more afflictive, than
when it takes from the family circle, a faithful, affection
ate wife, and tender mother. Eminently such was
Mrs. Graves. She possessed, in a high degree, the j
qualities of mind and heart, which adorn and blesw the I
domestic circle ; and to the duties of that station, she I
devoted herself, with untiring, unsparing assiduity.
In this aspect,the death 01 this estimable w oman is an !
irreparable loss to her family. But through that word 1
which hath brought life and immortality to light, her
bereaved friends are permitted to turn from Uie con- !
temptation of their loss, to her unspeakable gain. For ,
several years, she had been a member of the Presbyte- 1
rian church in thiscity.aml it is believed that the gra
ces ol tne Christian —humility, meekness gentleness, love
—have rarely been more beatifuily exhibited, than in
her character. As her walk through life was remark
able for unaffected simplicity, and cheerfulness uni
ifornuty, so her departure from it, was peaceful, and
serene.
“ So fades a summer cloud away ;
So sinks the gale when storms are o’er;
So gently shuts the eye of day ;
So dies the wave along the shore.”
InCullodcn, Ga., on the 24th March, Jane Henri- I
etta, infant daughter of H. E. and EM. Morrow,aged
11 months and 4 days.
She came into the world, twined herself around our
hearts, then passed away.
COMMERCIAL.
COTTON MARKET.
For this article we can say nothing cheering either to
producers or deatere. The late intelligence from Eu
rope is such as can produce nothing but depression in
prices andiu nch uncertainty lor the future Even in Eng
land, where confidence and credits have been some
what restored, and money plenty at low interest, our
great staple is not sustained in price ; and it is no w
admitted in all quarters tltat if the disturbances in
France, are not speedily aettled, the effect wdl be very
injurious to Cotton. Wc quote 5J ®6l cents.
We make the following extracts [rout a commercial
letter now before U 9; dated
Liverpool, Feb. 25th, 1848.
It is feared that the disturbances in Paris, may ex
tend to some of the other European Slates, consequent
ly the continental buyers in Manchester have for the
present suspended operations, which Iras produced a
feeling of depression in our Market to-day, in which
the business lias been limited to about 3000 bales, all
to the trade.”
• February 26th.
The political events in I ranee, have almost engros
sed the attention here to-day, and a very moderate bu
siness has been done in Cotton at irregular nnd gener
ally at aomewhat lower prices. Sales about 3,000
Bales, all to the trade.”

MAMMOTH GREAT WESTERN CIRCUS!
G. L. EATON, Agent*
Re-org’inized, arranged and enewly quipped for th®
coming season, 1848, under the immediate manage*
ment of John Smith; to he exhibited at MACON on
Monday and Tuesday, April 3d V Ith, for two days
only. Doors open at 7 o’clock, performance to com
mence at 74 P. M.
Near one hundred and fifty Persons and Horses, and
twenty-five Gorgeous Carriages, will compose the
Grand Travelling Cavalcade, and with the beauty of
the steeds and their caparisons, and the splendor of the
I rapping* will present in procession the most extensive
ana imposing Spectacle ever witnessed on this conti
nent, proving this mighty establishment to be the larg
est ana mo*t perfect Circus in the World !
With an Immense Double Leviathan Pavillion ca
pable of containing with miparaileled comfort thirty
five hundred persons. Eligible seats always reserved
lor the Ladies, and ushers in attendance, lo seat them
on their arrival in the immense canopy.
H . K. Gual's Brass Band swolen to its original size
of hour teen Picked Musician*, unquestionably the
most celebrated Band in Europe or Americn, led by the
renowned Bugler, 11. K. Gaul, will lead the procession
an Mtseonrse-sweet sounds” during the performance.
I hi* Crand Musical Festival will nt once stamp the
character of this stupendous undertaking, an earnest
that the Great Western Circus, will be no less noted
* or ( * tß unparalleled size than for its excellence.
Ihe Costume*, Housing* and Trapping*, are of
equally novel designs of splendid workmanship, and pre
pared with that great cost necessary to have every thing
111 keeping with the great expenditure lavished upon
this greatest of Circuses.
I lie entertainments given by this Company the last
season, were attended by over 500,000 persons, and
produced a sensnsion everywhere unparalleled in the
annals of the circle, and which have won lor them the
greatest encomiums from the highest circles among
whom were hundreds every day that never visited a
Cll cus lief ore. Now having laid aside their scruples in
consequence of the great celebrity of tins company and
its excellent management.
i o enumerate the entire Troop of performers and
their respective lines of business, would be swelling this
advertisement to an unusual length, and we trust our
patrons will be content with a few of the prominent
members attached to this Circus of the Nineteenth Cen
tury.
1 McCollum, the best general performer living, be
ing at the head of each department in the Circle.
iiUton Stone, the greatest bare-back rider in the
world, justly acknowledged so by the elite and profes
sion genera dy.
D. V\ Stone, the Ducrow of America and Dramatic
Equestrian of the world.
John W . Smith, the manager and only gentleman De
lineator of the American ye.gro.
J Jackson, a very superior Acrobat and clever art
ist on the Cordt Crescent.
J. Blackwood, the most youthful Equestrian and
Gymnast of the age.
A. Levi, the finished horseman and actor of all work.
G. Morrison, the India Rubber loan in his astonish
ing performances
1 li. Coleruan, tlie unrivalled American Banjo play
er, and best Negro Dancer extant.
Professor Kelly, the modern Ole Full , will regale the
alienee with “sweet music during each i- presentation.
1 fie eminently successful career of the Grotesques at
tached to this splendid establishment, is a sure guaran
tee that G. B* Johnson and Ben Jennings, are without
rivals 111 their respective departments.
‘1 he proprietors are happy to state they have effected
an engagement with M. J.Liptnan, the 72 Somerset!
man, who has lately returned from a very successful
tour in Europe, being the first person tiiat ever accom
plished the arduous tact of throwing 66 Backward So
merset ts, at Batty’s Royal Amphitheatre, before their
Majesties Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
YV ith this galaxy oj bright particular Stars, it is
trusted the entertainment will be graced by young and
old, fair and gay
Fiach representation wi 1 conclude with the Nursery
Legend ol GiantCormoran or Jack the Giant Killer,—
for the particular gratification and amusement of Fam
ilies.
The management wishes only to cull attentioa to the
fact of the happy result of his attempt to divest the cir
cle of all imp irities evinced in the great numbers of the
most intelligent and refined who have never attended a
Circus before ; being every where amongst the patrons
of this Circus, of which it is trusted the tretituc .nils of
the press will be fouud to lie satisfactory.
I he public are referred to descriptive bills for full rou
tine of entertainments.
There will also be a splendid day performance for
families and those unable to visit the night exhibition,
