LOCAL MATTERS.
New Afl-rertlsemetits.
Warren, Lewis & Co.—lt will be
leeti by a notice in another column that
the firm of Lewis & Allen has been dis
solved, and a new one established under
the stylo of Warren, Lewis & Co.—
This firm are the owners of the Granite
Mill in this city, and are among the
heaviest grain dealers, and flour sellers
engaged in that business. The partners
are all well known in the enterior, and
are liberal and prompt in their dealings, j
Clayton S,- Kenneday. -This is one
among tho oldest clothing establish-'
ments in the city. They keep on hand!
” heavy stocks of every article in their
line, and sell at reasonable profits and
on good terms. Country dealers, and
others, will find it to their interest to
give them a call.
Wiloox, Hand & Anslby.—This is an
old house in the Grocery Trade, and al
good one. They do a large wholesale
business, and are prompt in filling or- 1
ders. Country Merchants who have
never dealt with this house, we recom
mend to give them a trial.
Josiaii Siblet & Sons.—This is anoth
er large and staunch house in the whole- 1
sale Grocery Line. They keep on hand
heavy stocks of all articles in their line,
of the best quality, and at low prices.
This house does a heavy business with
the upper portions of this State and;
South Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama.
Eiamine their stocks.
J. Dennis. —The sarsaparilla manufac
tured by him is so superior, that he is
kept busy in filling orders from the
North and South. The reputation lie
lias gained for the manufacture of this
article is well earned, and if industry,
and care in its preparations will main
tain its present reputation, Dennis’
Georgia Sarsaparilla will continue to be
sought after by invalids.
_
Stabbing.
An affray occurred at Drain's Barroom
near G. R. E. Depot on Wednesday
nightiast, in which a Mr. Edward Gir
vin, dangerously stabbed a Mr. Clink, in
three places, with his sword cane. Mr.
Cline is not expected to survive. Gir-
Vin has tied to parts unknown. The
origon of the difficulty is unknown, but
supposed to have been the result of an
old grudge entertained by Girvinagainst
Cline.

Mb. Editor :—I feel assurred that it
will be gratifying to the numerous
piscatory readers of the 1 Dispatch,” to
learn that Sashy Walker, Esq., has so
far recovered from the accident which
befel him, while in transitu from the
“Big Cyprus," to the Railroad—and
which I adverted to not long since - as
to be informed by his family physician
that his aid was no longer necessary.
Sandy, in connection with several
connoisuers in Barnwell and Effingham,
is projecting a grand carousal at Ele
nezer, sometime in September, of
which due proclamation will bo made.
It is intended, if possible, to eclipse the
“come off," at the Big Cyprus.
Invitations, generally, will be exten-j
ded to tlie desciples of time honored
“liack,” —to say nothing of outsiders,
and the fair sex.
“ Let those boast of their
Pic-Xics in bower and ha!!,”
“ Who ne’er went a tishing
For trout in the tall”
And rooked them on the ground.
A wager has been laid— Champagne for
the occasion—between a Barnwell con
nissuer and a Chatham gentleman—who
is some with the angling paraphernalia—
that Chatham will heat Richmond—
Barnwell offers the Hon. Mr. Slam Bang.
Slam says he will give 30 lbs. to Chat- i
It am, and go doublets.
The field tent of the 0. 0. Q. is en
gaged—and such a time —oh ! Jeminy.

Ercaped .Jolt. ,
Revel, who was convicted for mnrder ,
at the last term of Crawford Superior
Court, aud transferred to Clinton Jail for
safe confinement, contrived on Sunday
morning last to open the inside door of ;
his cell, where lie stationed himself un
til the Jailor opened the front door to '
present him his breakfast, at which mo- '
ment the prisoner presented a bowie
knife aud Ttovolver, and tumbling the
Jailor overboard, made for the swamp,
where friends with horses were waiting i
his arrival, and have since escorted ]
him to parts unknown. The Jailor re
ceived no material damage from the un- 1
gallant salute.
Clinton jail is one of the strongest in 1
the State, the wails, floor and ceiling
having been erected out of heavy, solid
smooth granite ashlers, at a cost of near
ten thousand dollars. — Albany Patriot,

Pine* Bljgbtir
It is to bo regretted for tho appear
ance of the suburbs of our City, that
the beautiful pine groves near Winn's
Hill, the ABylumand Cemetery, are de
caying and dying rapidly from a species
of worm, scarcely visible to the eye. It
was thought that the washing of Band
down Winn’s Hill destroyed those trees
in close proximity to it. This, however,
cannot be the cause of their premature
decay, as it is confined to no particular
locality. It must he a worm which is
destroying them -Columbus Tima, 2d.
The Health of Athens.—We are in
formed by Capt. Wm. H. Dorsey, that
the number of deaths in Atlreuß in July

Only one Way to Heat the Atlantic
Cable.
A gentleman who had lead in the
morning papers the first news dispatch
from London over the Atlantic Cable,
announcing the peace with China, laid
down the paper, while every feature of
his face was expressive of astonishment
t for which he could not find utterance.
1 After a minute's contemplative silence
he said :
“ Well, the thing is done—the great
est achievement of man since the world
began is accomplished. Hero we have
a convincing proof of it in the trans
i mission of important intelligence from
: Europe in less than twolvo hours. Won
derful! wonderful!"
“It is indeed wonderful," remarked
his friend. “ I can scarcely realize the
stupendous fact."
, “Stupendous, indeed!” replied the
first speaker. There is only one thing
yet for man to accomplish to beat the
i Atlantic telegraph. Only one thing.”
I “Pray what is that?" ’
“To bore through the globe and
open telegraphic communication with
j the Celestials on the other side direct."
i J “ Very true, but that’s impossible.”
| “And if a few years ago 1 had pro
posed to extend a telegraphic wire un
der the bed of the ocean, would you
■ I not have replied that that was impossi
ble?
] That's a fact—so I would.”
“Ah my friend, there is no such
■ word as impossible now. The longer I
I live the more 1 am convinced there is
!indeed
“ more tilings In Heaven aud earth
Thau are dreamt of in ««r philosophy.”

The River Low-
Three Steamers are at the wharf, wait
ing for a revival of business and a rise in
the river to proceed to Apalachicola.—
The river is exceedingly low and has the
j appearance of a small stream, as it me
anders through the rocks al the falls,

however, still cling to its banks and
realize a pittance as the result #f their

A Rich Estate —The estate of John
Lawrence, of Watertown, England,is of
immense value, consisting of millions of
dollars, ill the keeping of the English
government. Notice has been given to
the heirs to come forward and prove
their identity, and we learn that the
claimants, as heirs at law, are John R.
Highton, Thomas Baruo Highton, Me
hitable Edwards and Mary Cone, all
of this State. We are also informed
that our indomitable and energetic citi
zen, Levi S. Russell, Esq., has alreay
gnneon, with evidence proving the heir- i
ship of tlie above parties, to this vast
estate. Tlie evidence was taken before
tlie Ordinary of Bulloch county, in con
formity to the Amendatory Statue of
England, an original record connected
with the case was made in the year 1804.
We learn that the proofs in possession
of Mr. Russell, together with the record
evidence, are positive in favor of the
heirship of these parties. We most
heartily wish Mr. Russell success in his
undertaking.— Sav. News.
A correspondence lets taken place be
tween the Sheriff of Charleston District,
John E. Carew, Esq., and the United j
States Marshal, Dr. D. H. Hamilton, in
relation to tho captured Africans, re
quiring their surrender under tiie act
of South Carolina, 1835, which prohib- J
its the entrance within iter limits ot
free persons of color. The sheriff hav
ing taken the advice of counsel, which
being conflicting, was induced from the
suggestions of official duty and at the
request of several respectable citizens,
to demand the surrender of the negroes
by the Marshal. The latter on the ad
vice of James Conner, Esq., U. S. Dis
trict Attorney, declined compliance.—
Tho negroes being subsequently trans
ferred from Castle Pinckney of Fort
Sumter and further removed from all
risk of communication, to avoid a con
flict with the United States authorities,
the Sheriff has not proceeded any furth
er in tlie business. The negroes will of
course remain at Fort Sumter, until the
pleasure of the government is made
known. —Charleston News, 2dinst.

P0|,,1,a,, ° ,10f Pnrls *
We extract from La Prcsse the follow-
J in £ interesting statistics relating to this
subject, on the examination of which,
j says our cotemporary, all questions of
administration and of public work must
be bassed :
[ 219.000 occupy dwellings of which
' annual rent is not higher than six
pounds; 114,000 families occupy dwel i
' ling of rent between six and sixteen I
1 pounds; 12,000 a rent of sixteen to!
! twenty pounds. Tho remainder of tho j
population, say 40,000 families, pay
1 rent higher than £2O per annum ; and!
■ there are only 5,302 families paying!
more than $96.” » o a “Thenum-1
her of inhabitants who are indigent or.
temporarily necessitous cannot be much
under 400.000 individuals.”
to an inquiry instituted by
the Chamber of Commerce in 1847, there
were in Paris 342,530 ouvriers of both
sexes. In a period of thirty five yearsfrom
181 /, tho population of Paris had in
creased by 339,296 souls, or 47 per cent
1 According to the census of 1831, the
population is classed as follows : Me
chanics, 43 percent, including both sox
es ; in receipt of salaries, 22 percent.;
liberal professions, 16 per cent. ; mili
! tary 10 per cent.; commercial,9 per cent.
The 1,000,000 inhabitants who reside in
Paris consume the tenth part of the en
tire production of France. A Parisian
eats annually as much meat as six in
habitants of some tis the provinces.
Paris draws its immense-stock of or
dinary provisions from sixty of our de
partments and three foreign countries.
It devours nearly all the fish that is
caught on our coasts, and sends for its
game as tar as Germany. The revenues
of the Parisian population, valued at
£80,000,000, is drawn principally from;
the three following sources; The in- ]
dustry and commerce of Paris produces!
annually about £40,000,000; tho civil)
list and State functionaries of all kinds!
spend annually in Paris about £20,000,-'
000 ; the remaining £20,000,000 is re
eeivetl from the floating population of
strangers, numbering about 60,000.
From these general indications there
results this consequence, that Paris cen
tralization is not only political, intellec
tual, atistic, &c., but economic in a ve
ry high degree. A centre of popula
tion which consumes of itself the tenth
part of the general productions of the
country, and a third of its budget is a
fact so considerable that it destroys!
all equilibrium. Another fact of the'
highest importance, which we gain from!
these figures is that out of 345,000 fami-;
lies, 219,000 occupy dwellings of which
the rent is not higher thin £6 per an
num.
La Press,■ proceeds to state that no
question is so much disputed as whether;
tins immense attraction and absorption!
of the metropolis and consequent dc-!
population of rural districts, is a benefit l
or an evil ? Our contemporary seems to 1
be of opinion that, if it bean evil at
all, it is one irremediable and irresistible
in the present transitory state of the
economic organization of the country ;
that it arises from the sudden extension
of railways having increased the means i
of transport beyond the level of produc
tion, and that when knowledge and,
capital shall have down back into the|
provinces by the same facilities of com
munication, the ratio production will!
increase and the equilibrum he restor
ed.
Our contemporary concludes with the
following bright vision of a future pros
perity tor his country: “When the
new regime ( economic) shall be established, |
the peasant will give place to the agri-j
cultural (yuvrter lamiliarizcd with mod
ern lights. Rich fields will extend
J themselves where we now see misery
and disorder reigning for want of capital,
without which the land remains unprO-,
ductive. Let us look fearlessly towards
the future, without being stayed by ob
stacles merely transitory. This future
is brilliant—it is fertile as the science
which has created it, and by which it
will never be abandoned

Tile Duel hi t ween Me.,is. Calhoun
and Brevuort.
We venture to publish tlie following
extract from a letter recently received,
dated Paris August sth, and written to
a friend in this city. The writer is, of
course, well known in Columbia, and
the names mentioned in the letter are
too famiiiary known over the State, so
cially and otherwise, for ua to be charg
ed with indelicacy in giving them in
full.
“ Ihe statements in tlie American
papers in relation to the duel between
Ransom Calhoun and young Brevoort,
were so vague and unsatisfactory, that
I have been induced, since my arrival
in Paris, to make some particular inqui
ries concerning the whole affair. To my
entire satisfaction, I have found that
the conduct of our young countryman
throughout was up to every requisite of
his friends and State—brave, honorable
and judicious. Mr. Alan Izard, Mr, Ro
bert Pringle and Judge Mason, speak in!
the highest terms of Calhoun’s conduct
and bearing. 1 have also spoken with
Col. Pickens, Gov. Aiken and others,
who seem greatly graified.that in a case
of extreme delicacy and difficulty, Mr.
Calhoun has borne himself with the
manliness becoming his name and .State,
! and the discretion demanded by his posi
tion. The immediate case was this: for
harsh words spoken, Brevoort struck!
Calhoun. Calhoun challenged. Bre- j
voort fired after time. Calhoun's second,!
of course, instantly and peremptorily!
declined further proceedings. Subse-,
quently, however, the seconds chose to
submit the matter to a board of honor.!
This board decreed that ‘ Mr. Brevoort j
fired after the expiration of the time agreed] '
on, and therefore, the duel was properly stop- )
ped.’
“ The force and effect of such a de
cree is fully understood in our latitude.!
The second who would permit another !
meeting, under these circumstances,'
would, with us, be deemed ‘particeps cri ,
minis’ to an assassination,&c." — Columbia j f

young gentleman, Wm. Bryan, former ! !
