The Wanderer, Bays the Dispatch, only acted as the decoy, bringing 120 slaves herself and the other vessel 300: — Rich mond Dispatch- Our Richmond namesake is mistaken in saying that ire said tbot the Wanderer brought a portion of the cargo. We did state that she acted as a decoy boat, but our impression was that she brought none of the negroes. Tiie English Corn Trade. —Announc- ment is made in the telegraphic sum mary of the Arabia's news that a meet ing of influential gentleman connected with the corn trade, had been held at Liverpool, and resolutions adopted in favor ot making the weight of 100 pounds the standared weight in all sales of grain, flour and wheat. This reform had been agitated for several years, and it is now proposed to adopt the system throughout England on the Ist of Feb ruary next. Such a rule might with benefit be introduced here. The Charles ton Courier justly remarks that, the ar bitrary standards of 56 pounds for one grain, 60 pounds for another, and so on, only tend to perplex and to produce legal questions, whereas a uniform standard would simplify and facilitate transactions. Almost a Veto.— The members of the South Carolina Legislature narrow ly escaped a serious veto on their pro ceedings, as they were returning home. The engineer discovered a tree across the track near “ Jamison’s, ' just in time to stop the train before reaching it. It was soon cut away, and the train moved on. __ At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the South Carolina College, held on Saturday last, Ex-Governor R. F. W.

We learn that they would make Burton ashamed of himself in Toodles. JIT On Monday night last, the young men of LaGrange, composing the young man's prayer meeting, formed a Young Men’s Christian Association, by the adoption of a Constitution and By-Laws. fff The Trustees of the La Grange Female College met at Columbus on Saturday last, and elected W.

J. W. Burke, Tract Agent, reported that he had raised this year from collections and sales up wards of $9,000. The report of the committee on Book Depositoiy was then taken up, which was adverse to the plan of R. Abbey. On motion to adopt the report, Dr. J. B. McFerrin was heard in defence of the plan. Dr. Jesse Boring replied in opposition to the plan. While he was speaking the Bishop announced the hour of ad journment. The session was protracted to take the vote of the conference on on the expunging from the Discipline the general rule on the subject of slavery. The vote stood ayes all, nays none. In the afternoon the certificate of lo cation of Rev. John H. Robinsin was presented for admission. He was ad mitted. Dr. Boring then concluded his speech. Conference adjourned to 9 o'clock this morning. Religious services by Mr. Boring opened Conference this morning, and principal portion of the session was spent in the examination of Elders, of which some fifty were passed upon at the hour of our departure. Rev. Mr. Connor—one of the ablest ministers of the Conference—was, at his own request, transferred to South Carolina, to be located in Charleston, as we learn. A deeply interesting scene was enac ted during the farewell remarks of Dr. Boring relative to his contemplated withdrawal from the Georgia Conference Resolutions were offered that the M. E. Church South was in equity indebted to Dr. B. and that the General Board of managers be requested to review their former action, and allow Dr. B. the amount in equity, due him. Bending this motion, Col. Chambers of this city made a statement relative to the amount of Dr. Boring's indebted ness in California, and that he (Col. C.) and a few friends would assume the amount ($3000,) not in a spirit of chari ty, hut in love for Dr. Boring, that he might be permitted to live, work and die among his Georgia friends. This announcement was received with a hearty approval, by the numerous auditory in the galleries ; but owing to some ecclesiastical difficulties which the Brnhop stated might ensue from move ments already made in this matter, the subject was temporarily laid over for 11 "ill probably come up again in the morning. 1 The Post Offices in Barnwell District known as Great Cypress and Silverton are discontinued. ( Gov. Brown'* Vetoes. The list of bills vetoed by Gov. Brown : ’ at the close of the session, includes a i large number of applicants from per- 1 sons divorced, to permit them to marry again. The Legislature refused to pass -a general bill to permit all persons in that condition to marry, and the Gov ' eruor has, as we believe, wisely and ® justly refused to sanction these excep tions to the general rule. The tenden , cies of the age are evidently to impair r the sacred character of the marital con -1 tract, and it is fortunate that the law t authorizes this salutary check upon li t centious legislation. The following bills were not signed by the Governor on account of the fail . ure of either the President of the Sen . ato or Speaker of the House, or both, to sign them as required by the Constitu tion. The sanction of the Governor 1 could not, therefore, give them the t force of law : , An act to add a part of the county of j Gilmer to the county of Fannin, and for other purposes. 8 To legalize and make valid the Sheriff s i Bond of the county of Glasscock, and 3 also to provide for the drawing and em j panelling Grand and Petit Jurors fori tire second week of the term of the Su perior Court of the county of Walton, j 1 To incorporate A. J. Miller Lodge, j 201, of free and accepted Masons, and • to confer certain powers. • To amend the first Section of the third Article of the Constitution of the \ State of Georgia. To require the Judges of the Inferior ' 1 Courts of Franklin and Thomas coun ! ties, to appoint a Board of Commission ers, &c. To allow teachers of poor children in j ' the counties of Calhoun and Columbia,; - to charge for Books furnished to said children, and to require the Ordinary to I pay said accounts. To repeal all special laws providing I for the jiayment of Grand and Petit i Jurors for the county of Baker. For the relief of the heirs and repre-1 sentatives of Luke Padgett. To authorize the appointment of Masters or Auditors in Equity and define! their duty. To compensate the Sheriff of Jeffer-1 son county. To alter and amend an act approved' 6th March, 1856, entitled an act to al ter and amend the 6th Section of an act approved 11th February, 1854, enti ■ tied an act to incorporate the Dalton ' Copper Mill & Turnpike and Railroad Company, and for other purposes there- ' in named. i 1 To require the Inferior Court of the ] county of Muscogee to pay expenses! necessarily incurred in holding the Su- , perior Courts of said county. To provide for the better regulation of the Town of Crawfordsville as to j' eating tables, kept by negroes either tree or slave, and for other purposes. For the relief of Benjamin T. Rees, ; guardian of Goveneur H. Embre, and authorize said guardian to purchase a i farm for the benefit of said Minor’s Estate. To regulate the granting of Retail License and sale of spiritous liquors in , the county of Clay. To authorize the Inferior Court 6 of the counties of Fayette and Madison, to j . levy an extra tax to pay the Grand and j ; Petit Jurors one dollar per diem for their services as Jurors. To define the line between the coun ties of Clay and Early. To incorporate the Eiijay Gold and j Copper Mining Company. The Governor withheld his sanction' to the following Dills on account of pro- j visions contained in them violative of! the Constitution. To authorize tho Ordinary of Rich-1 mond county to demand and receive certain fees therein named, and for! ! other purposes. To incorporate the town of Thomson,! in Columbia county. The following bill was not sanctioned because the Governor did not consider the claim a just one against the State, and because the appropriation was insuf- , ficient, if the claims were just, viz : An act for tho relief John M. Wil hite, of Jackson county. A large number of bills were lost on account of the inability of the enrol ler’s Clerk to have them enrolled in time for the signature of the President and the Speaker, before the adjourn ment of the Legislature. The number that passed the day and night of the session, was so large that the Clerks could not possibly enroll them all. A number of those, too, signed by the President and Speaker, were so imper fectly enrolled that they were not in a condition to receive the Executive sane-1 tion. Washington, Dec. 17.—There has been disbursed to Congress, since the ] ] commencement of the session, upwards ! of $1,500,000, including about $330,000 for mileage and arrears of members’ j salaries. The House committee on territories 1 1 to-day rejected, by a vote of five to four, a proposition to amend the Oregon bill so as to prohibit the people of Kan sas from forming a State government until they have a population entitling them to a representative in Congress. Senor Mata, minister from Nicaragua under the Jurez government, is here with full powers to make treaties and settle existing disputes. The Assassins of the Inn. The Charlestown, Va., Republican tells the! following as happening in the vicinity of Mt. Pleasant, in that State, not long since: Not far from Mt. Pleasant, back in the country like, there is a tavern call-! ed the Franklin House. Mr. Franklin, ■ the proprietor, has two deaf and dumb ] ■ daughters, sprightly, intelligent, and; interesting. By signs they often carry ' on animated conversations, especially with each other, and members of the ' family. i Last week, two foot travelers stopped for the niglit at this house, and after i supper with the family, were shown to : a room, in which was a good fire and bod for their accommodation. The l kin 4 host on entering the room in the ! morning, found that the bed had not been occupied, and that his guests bad flown. He, however, found on the ta ble motley for their supper, and a note, stating tnat in consequence of signs made at the supper tablo by the young ladies, the/ did not think it 6afe to go to bed, anil therefore paid the bill and took their departure. Dr. Wm. T. G. Morton is to receive a national testimonial as the discoverer of aniethesia. The L-uhscriptions are be ginning on a very liberal scale, Amos! A Lawrence giving a thousand dollars,; i John P. Cushing five hundred, and the Massachusetts General Hospital a thou- 1 sand. I From the Daily News City Article. London Money Market. | Thursday Evening.— The funds to i day were sensibly firmer, owing to a ; variety of considerations, including the news that the Emperor Napoleon has i annulled the sentence passed on M. de i Montalembert, satisfactory intelligence from India, some specie arrivals, a pur chase of stock for account of the Court of Chancery, and another of 10,000/. Reduced Three per Cents, by the Gov ernment broker for account of the • Savings Banks. A recovery of about 1-4 per cent, was established. The fall in the French funds was not known here until after the close of the Stock Ex change. In most of the other markets the tendency was likewise favorable. Amer ican railway Securities remain heavy, but English and French were stronger, i One of the principal features was a fresh rise iu the stocks of the three great English railway companies which have i just ceased hostilities. From the mo-, ment in which the rumors of coming 1 peace gained credence these stocks havej experienced a steady and unchecked ad- j vanec. Although moral considerations i are occasionally ignored, railway share holders are rarely insensible to argu ments based upon pecuniary grounds.— j There is room, therefore, for the hope | that the rise of several hundreds of! j thousands of pounds which has taken j j place during the last few days in the! j property of the three companies recent- j ly contending, will furnish an addition-] al guarantee for the maintenance of i harmonious relatious for the future, , since it is clear that the previous de-1 ■ predation was almost solely caused by the reckless competition. The losses which the companies have sustained j through carrying passengers and goods j at absurdly law fares, in order to dam [ age each other, form a distinct but | equally important item in the account, i Tlie increased demand which has j been noticed in the discount market (during the last day or two continued; i this day. Few bills, however good,! | were negotiated below 2 3-8 to 2 1-2 per! j cent., and, as a rule, the latter fraction; ] formed the minimum. The applications at the Bank were more numerous. A I very large number of bills fall due on I j the 3rd, 4th, and sth. I There were no bullion operations at | the Bank to day. At Paris to day the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 74.50 for the end of) December, and closed at 74.20. For! money, the last price was 74. Compar- j ed with the closing quotations of yes terday, a fresh decline of about 1-4 per cent is presented. The “pardon” of M.! de Montalembert apparently has not! produced a good effect upon the Bourse. Harbors in Washington Territory.— The straits of San Juan de Fuca, Adtni rality Inlet and Puget Sound form the , most magnificent harbors on the conti nent, probably in the world. From | Cape Flattery, at the mouth of the strait, to Olympia, at the head of Puget Sound, is about 210 miles. These in land seas arc not confined to one great I channel, but are interspersed with large* and beautiful islands, forming many channels, and having, in the aggregate, a shore line of sixteen hundred miles, giving access to a fine agricultural re gion, comprising an area of some thous ] and square miles. These waters are en tirely free from hidden rocks and reefs calculated to hinder navigation, and are deep enough for the largest ships to ride at anchor. On the Pacific coast, be ] I tween the Columbia river and Cape i Flattery, are the fine harbors of Shoal j water and Gray’s Harbor, readily acces ! sible to vessels, and very safe. Douglas in a Religious Convention.— During the session of the Southern, Baptist Sunday School Convention at ] Memphis,on the29thtilt., Hon. Stephen j A. Douglas was announced as being pre i sent, whereupon the President conduc j ted Judge Douglas to the chair, and for ; tnally introduced him to the Conven j tion. Prof. J. M. Pendleton, then ex plained to Judge Douglas the object of the Convention, after which the Judge delivered a brief and appropriate ad dress. A vote of thanks for the ex pression of his friendship and kind re gard was then adoptod. The Yacht Wanderer. This far famed vessel arrived yesterday morning iu charge of the U. S.

OB ITUALLT. Died, at liis residence, in Columbia county, on tlie 18th day of November last, Thomas W. E. j Bkalle, in the fortieth year of his age, after a loug and protracted illness, which, though long, and at times severe, ho bore with Christian for titude and resignation. It has been our lot to know but few men who possessed as many good qualities and traits of ! character, as Thomas W. E Bealie. He was a i true friend, a kind master, and an affectionate j husband and father, and was beloved by all who j knew him. It would be useless to attempt to enumerate bis many acts of kindness to the poor j and afilicted around him, for his deeds of charity I were only limited by h s kuowledge of the wants ! of others. In all his dealings and transactions, he was liberal and strictly honest, never exacting more than his due, and often conceding much more. If the anxious desires of a fond mother, sister, wife and friends, could have staid the hand of an inscrutable Providence, this blow would not have been given ; yet, “ He who dispenses all good, and tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,” hath decreed his death, and we must submit—he, with us, is in tho hands of a just God ! and where justice is administered by an All wise Being, the just need not fear To his much afflicted wife, mother, sister and friends, wc would say—his afflictions and trials are over ; ho is in the hands of a lust Being why mourn or grieve ? We, too, will soon ho in the same hands. G. i - "■——— AUCTION SALES, BY W, H. HOWARD, —#*• Holiday Presents. — Auction Sale of Watches and Jewelry , on account of whom, it may concern , by W. H.

It is supplanting all other specifics for the hair, and enjoys a popularity which no other has attained. Buy It—test ' it—and rejoice that your attention has been di rected to i>. Caution.— Beware of worthless imitations, as 1 several arc already in the market, called by dis -1 ferent names.

"fiT The Great Pr oft lent Solved I-DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING OOR , dial.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining clement, is relieved by a single course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid re acquires its solvent power, and tbc crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The norvous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, T«c-dolorcux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unuaturalcondition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo- j tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,; invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous * organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the hards ofj i medical men. | Morse’s luvigorating Elixir has a direct, im-. j mediate and astonishing etfectupon the appetite | While it renews the strength of the digestive! j powers it creates a desire for the solid material i ! which is to be subjected to their action. As an i appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. j If long life and the vigor necessary to its en joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless,enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous dtpres j sion, the individual suffering from general de I bility or from the weakness ol a single organ I willall find imraediateand permanent relief from tho u-e of this incomparable ren >vator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that terrible milady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with tlieir constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re lerence to the causes, and will not only remove the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution IiOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush | of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self de s ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys j pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of I tho heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from j whatever cau.-e arising, it is, if there is any reli | aace to be placed on human testimony, absolute j ly infallible. j CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial I bas been counterfeited by some unprincipled J persons.
