J The Greorgia W eekly Telegraph. THE TELEGRAPH. MA<3PK FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, W,'.). —iL- Tho Extra Train. > A dispatch was received from Col Ilulbort, on Sunday, announcing that'the extra train for gneats to the Fair, would bo ready to leave Atlanta on Monday.. Then thero was hurrying to and fro. The committee appointed in doe and solemn form to go on and reqeive the guests was not ready. - In. fact, nobody was rqady. Some of them were two hundred miles off, attending court or something else, and those who were at home had too much of their own business in' hand. Consequently, Col. Halbert was telegraphed that he had givon too little time—to go ahead and the committee would ■ endeavor to do the agreeable when the guests arrived. Then came another telegram from CoL Halbert. “Tho train is here—at tho dis posal of the committee to start whenever they please.” Then there was new.trouble. "Who would go—who could go?’. There was awful drumming for an impromptu committee. The old cne dend, disappeared in the shades of night and oblivion. Finally, A. O. Bacon, Esq., the only one of the original committee who stuck, called to his aid a few adjutants of the volun teer force, and will leave Atlanta in the extra train on regular time to-night. We hope noth ing ruinous fo the commonwealth will result from the extra train. IVon’t Move Hie Crop. The Missouri Republican complains that the stagnation of business is greatly increased by the refusal of large capitalists to lend their assistance towards moving the crops from the interior to the Atlantic seaports. It says: “The orop is so abundant that they despair, of con trolling the prices, and they prefer to have their money in readiness for a sudden opportunity, whereby they can make more in a day than they could in a year by carrying on a legitimate business. The consequence is that prices of all kinds of cereals, except barley, which is not much cultivated in onr Western States, are con stantly falling, and in many places they are lower than the cost price of the varions pro ducts.” I';', ' ' . •' /. The misfortune of the financial situation in America is that, whether from the unsonndness of the system itself or the peculiar incidents of the moneyed condition, specnlators control the wholo vast fabric, and most frequently, either in active trade operations or embarrassing these operations for its own benefit. In Europe, the bankers confine themselves to their legitimate business—bat in all onr great moneyed Ameri can centres the fact is too notorious for dispute, that tho banks are often interested principals or subsidized agents in operations designed to Cripple trade and tradesmen for the benefit of the dealers in money. It is time the people clamored for a remedy. Liberty in Virginia. Gen. Canby issues an order as follows, to the Post Commandant at Norfolk: “Assume military jurisdiction of the case of George Scnltatns, charged with killing private Charies H. Smith. Discontinne proceedings commenced against him in the civil courts, and prefer and forward charges against him for trial by military commission.” Thus, by the scratch of a pen from the Dis trict military commander, the following provis ions of tho Constitution of the United States are oanoclled and abrogated: “Art. 5. No person shall be held to answer for a capital or other wise infamous crime, unless on presentment and indictment of a grand jury, etc.”; and “Art. 0. In all criminal prosecutions, the accnsed shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the Slate,'' etc. Canby is more powerful than all the States were and the whole Congress of 1789 which proposed and adopted these amendments. Canby abrogates their action in five minute*, and the people of the TJuited States are utterly indifferent to it! A Cluhter of Apples. Mr. Eden Taylor, of Colaparchee, Monroe county, sent ns yesterday a little twig bearing twenty-seven apples of the Tates variety—a small red apple about two inches in circumfer ence. It was a very pretty sight, and we have hung it up. This little tree, we understand, bore three.barrels of apples. With this cluster came a Stmt* naturcr in the ahape of five apples all growing together, and adhering firmly to each other. ' Nzw Route Northward.—The Charleston Courier says, that there is a plan on foot to en deavor to. induce the Georgia Central Railroad to unite with tho Savannah and Charleston Rail* road in a short line of sixty-six miles, from “Millen,” on the Central, to “UnionCrossing,” on the Savannah road, with the view of creat ing a diversion of the Southwestern passengers travel, now going North by upper lines, to this great seaboard ronte. The distances are as fol lows : From Macon, Georgia, via Millen Cross ing, Charleston, Florence and Wilmington, fo Weldon, is 608 miles, while from Macon, via Augusta, Columbia and Charlotte, to Weldon, is 758 miles—the new line having an advantage ot 150 miles or eight hours in time. ' . «.»■’» > - V ' .The .CEcusiesical Council will open on the 8th December, fete day of the Immaculate Con ception. Nine hundred Bishops, Archbishops or Patriarchs, each accompanied by a Theolo gian, will join the Pope, attended by a hundred Theologians, fifty Cardinals and eighteen Gen-, erals of religious orders—these last each at tended by two Theologians. .The ceremonies will begin with*, a mass in music, wherein the best tenors, baritones and bassos of Italy will participate. _ Feaxki.iv Pieecte.—It is a mistake to suppose that ex-President Pierce left a million of dol lars. His estate will barely realize $00,000. He was a gentleman above bribery, jobbing and present-taking, and so he died comparatively poor, though within reach of millions. We find the foregoing in the Charleston Courier, and are glad that Franklin Fieroe was not among the millionaires, as stated much to our.surprise. — ’■ Jl.lt f , j.

'■ '* * * Cotton Receipts.—Columbus Nov. 0—Re ceived to date 21,413 bales—shipped 15,460— stock on hand'5,952. The Edinburgh Review for October, the .. Leonard Scott reprint, came yesterday. It leads off with an article upon the Ecumenical Council . To the Floaters. We call attention to the proposition among onr. advertisements to organize the Macon - Aind and Fertilizing Company, to which hooks of subscription will be open during the Fair. As we haTe heretofore stated, n good part of the capital sfock-of this company has already been taken np, and it expects to occupy the late East Macon Freight Depot of the Central .Railroad, under peculiarly favorable conditions, both as to renting or purchasing, with the substantial co-operation of the company as a shareholder and interested friend in giving it the aid of moderate rates of transportation. The charter under which it will work may be found oiip. Ill of the acts of 1869 and is ex ceedingly liberal. Its business will be to import crude material and mannfactnre a standard su perphosphate at low rates and under the direction of Georgia agricultural chemists of high charac ter. Importing the sulphur direct through Sa vannah, or bringing the iron pyrites from the Georgia monntafos, (whichever may be best,) it will save several hundred per cent, on the cost of sulphuric acid alone, which; brought here in carboys, is tho most dangerous and costly freight transported. This acid it will make on the spot and consume without the cost of hot tling; and bringing the phosphates and guano in large quantities at the-lowest possible rates, it will furnish a perfectly reliable fertilizer made to the order of plantera themselves under the di rection of their chemist and with every possible guarantee of purity. Now, it seems to ns, that here is an invest ment, in the way of business, which shonld com mend itself to planters in every point of view. Millions are to be expendod in these manures, and why shonld we not mannfactnre them at home under proper gnarantees of fidelity to the planter and with the advantage to ourselves of pocketing a heavy per centnm of saving in cost and of prefit in the manufactnre? “REGULATING.” A Homicide In Connty by Itofirn- lators. From the Rome Courier.'] • - A murder was committed in Summerville on the night of Monday, the 1st inst, of which the following are the particulars, as related by a re sponsible gentleman: Mr. Joseph L. Robs, who lived near that place had been charged with maltreatingbis wife, and abont a week previous she had left him. At abont nine o’clock of tho night of this sad 8ffair, eight or ten men in disguise, called on Mr. Ross, at his residence, and gave him a pret ty plain lecture npon the subject of abusing bis wife, informing him that that was one of the things that would not be tolerated in that com munity, bnt made no threat nnless it was im plied in the order that he mnst not leave the house nntil they bad been gone two hours. They departe’d in the direction of Summer ville. He immediately got his horse and fol lowed them. At the town be came np with them, and rode into their midst. They twice or three times ordered him to halt. He was de termined to find ont who they were, and he snapped his pistol several times, bnt it. failed to fire. A single shot was fired at him. which took effect, and caused bis death Inst. Wednesday. The party of disguised men were last seen some ten miles from Snmmerville, riding in the di rection of Alabama. One informant states that he has been told that Mr. Ross said that be recognized no one of the party. ■ He was a staunch Democrat, and always has been, and neitber his friends nor any ono else in that community attribute political motives to the party of disgnised men. ■ There is no cnnnty in the State that has a better citizenship of law-abiding men than Chattooga, and the civil officers there will do all they possibly can to ferret ont the facts of the case, and make such disposition of the matter as will secure tho ends of justice. The above is a melancholy illustration of the folly and impolicy of “regulating and regula tors.” When a man becomes a citizen of a State or member of any political community, he enters into a solemn, though implied stipulation, to abide by its legal remedies, alike for the re dress of his own personal grievances and those of society; and when he violates tho obligation under a wretched mistake that he can substitute for these remedies some private, irresponsible and more efficacious agency, he not only vio lates bis obligation, bnt be pours contempt npon the State and community—he waives in his own behalf all the defences of law, and he does his best to deluge the country in universal anarchy. The first effect of regulating is to change the moral and legal positions of parties. The offender against law becomes the injured and outraged party. If he lias nsed nnlawfnl vio lence, he becomes the victim of a still more de liberate and criminal violence. If he is a thief, his assailants have stolen from him the invalua ble defences of law to which he was ns much en titled as themselves. He has a moral and legal right to self-defence against such assailants, and if killed in defending himself, he is just as much murdered as if he were the best man in the community. We can conceive of nothing more fatally at war with right, justice and pnblio order, securi ty and tranquility, than these bands of self-con- stitnted regulators, and call npon all good people to disconnteuance them in every possible way. Lands Advancing. The public sales ef landed propertyin various parts of this State, made on Tuesday last and reported in onr exchanges, exhibit generally a decided advance in value. It may safely be said that this description of property now com mands nearly or quite doable the prices that conld have been obtained a year ago. This is an encouraging mark of Southern recuperation. There is. we think, no reason to fear that the advance of real estate'Will be arrested. Crisis or convulsions in monetary affairs and general business may for a time stop the demand for Sonihern lands, bnt that the advance will be steadily maintained is hardly a matter of doubt. The truth is, lands in the cotton region have never brought the prices that their productive ness and profit in culture justified. Lands in the North and Northwest, from which the profit could be derived as from good cotton lands in the South, have for some time commanded from $50 to $100 per acre, and the day is probably not far distant when the same prices will be paid for good lands in the cotton region. . , . . [.Columbus Enquirer. Lands in Georgia have advanced, on an aver age, not much abort of 300 per cent, in the last two ye>. rs. A finanoier was lamenting his Inck, the other day, in having bought railroad stock instead of lands two years ago. He was then on the point of buying a plantation at five dol lars an acre, bnt was afraid of it; and it has since been sold at seventeen dollars an acre. All the time this bee hums in his head: 2500 acres of land bought at $5 00 per acre—§12,500, Sold at $17 00 an acre—$42,500; amount lost, $30,000. .This gives him the cholie every time he thinks of it, besides a pain in the head. Bnt seventeen dollars an acre is no price for good land in Georgia. There is an abundant margin, and when the price gets np to fifty dol lars an acre, we can begin to consider. Americas and Albany. Editors Telegraph : A few dots concerning the above enterprising centres of trade and in telligence may prove interesting to, at least, a portion of yonr readers. Yon published a pretty full account of the former place a few weeks ago, and a more intimate acquaintance with the state of things here serves only to confirm the favorable opinion then expressed. Cotton hnying, honse bnilding, store trading, social gatherings and ecclesiastical meetings constitute the staple of the history of Americas. All the elements to meet the manifold wants of man are concentrated at this point. Yonr bumble correspondent has shared, for several days, the warm-hearted hospitalities of Maj. T. M. Fnrlow, who is regarded as the most popnlar man in Sumter county, and whose popularity is based on high social and moral qualities. His handsome and richly furnished dwelling oecnpies the centre of thirty acres of ground, one-half of which constitutes a noble park, and the other half is employed in the pro duction of the necessaries and comforts of life. Natnre has made this the most splendid settle ment in Georgia, and art has added mnch to its attractions. The Major had the misfortune last winter, to lay in the silent land, bis estimable wife, bnt bis amiable and accomplished daughters are doing everything in their power to comfort their devoted father in his sore bereavement. A no bler family than this is not found in the Empire State. The population of Albany is abont 3,500 and the city contains five churches—Baptist, Metho dist, Episcopal Presbyterian and Catholic, for whites, and two colored churches. The districts burnt over in the last two or three years—comprising abonthalf the business portion of the city—is nearly rebuilt with sub stantial brick hnildings. Every store house is occupied, and business is in a flourishing condi tion. The South Georgia and Florida Railroad is expected to reach Albany by the 1st of February next; the Brnnawick and Albany road by the end of next year, while another road Southwest to fho Alabama line will probably soon follow. Abont 11,000 bales of cottton have been re ceived to this date, one-third of which is on hand. Probable receipts for the year 18,000 or 20,000. In I860 tho receipts were 40,000—last year 14,000. The crop is abont gathered from the fields, but not quite ready for shipment. The crop will doubtless bo far short of the July ex pectations, bnt it somewhat exceeds the dry an ticipations of September, on account of the ex cellent season for picking. The Albany News carries no dead weight at present, bnt is fnll-freighted and running over with live advertisements—a sure indication of enterprise and prosperity. Colonel Styles, the editor, is a ready and vigorous writer, a man of the highest moral courage, and a gentleman whose personnel is absolutely princely.- • There will be one grand rally along the line of the Southwestern Railroad for the Macon Fair—tho planters in these rich counties are all on the qui rive touching this great occasion. It is believed that B. G. Lockett will win the pre- minm on cotton raising. We conclude these rambling thoughts with threo cheers to conduc tor Cherry for many kindnesses. Rambles.

The Washington Gazette of the 5th comes to ns much enlarged and is a splendid paper. Tho Superior Court of that connty has ad journed to the 3d Monday of the current month. The Gazette gives a circumstantial account of the Tournament on the30th nit., and says: Young “Lochinvar,” who won the first prize, made three successive clear runs, taking six rings each time, and freeing a track of 150 yards in the short apace of 11 seconds. The time al lotted for each course was 14 seconds, bnt in every instance, the knights made their distance at least one second ahead of time, except onoe, when the clown, on his donkey ride, fell four seconds behind. Even the “Independent Knight,” who won the tin cup, invariably made the distance two seconds ahead of schedole time. This gentleman, in imitation of the fa mous man in the nursery rhyme who “ Ban fourteen miles in fifteen days,” made four rings in three rounds being too “in dependent,” we presume, to trouble himself about taking more. One of the finest feats of tbe day, was the tilt between the “Red Man and the Knight of Erin.” At the close of the regular tournament there was a tie between these two gentlemen for the secoud prize, each having taken sixteen rings in three rounds, covering the aggregate time of 37 seconds. The matter had to be settled by a tilt between the two, when there was a tie for six successive rounds—each knight taking all the rings (six) in three successive runs of 11 sec onds eaoh. The fourth run finally settled in favor of him of tbe “Emerald Isle." As soon as the prizes had been awarded, the three successful knights led their ladies to the stand, and crowned the “Queen of Love and Beauty” with her two maids of honor. The la dies bore their honor with remarkable grace and dignity, and we believe tbe universal verdi<5t will be, that the knights displayed as mnch taBte in bestowing as they had shown gallantry in winning their crowns. l • Vfe^must hot neglect to mention that two _of the riders were wounded—one of them quite severely. The “Knight of Malta,” who, by the way, was one of the most graceful horsemen on the field—reoeived n severe ont under his eye, and the “Rod Man” won his spars at the price of his blood. There viere twenty-nino knights in the list The ladies crowned were Miss Philo Casey, of Golnmbia, Queen; Miss Sallie, Hill, of Wilkes, and Miss Lettie Pope, of Washington, Maids of A correspondent of the Gazette says that Wilkes has given.birth to a new religions denom ination^ styling themselves “liberal Baptists.’.' According to him the leading peculiarity of the order is not to exclude members for any offence whatever. S ■ FROM WASHIJfOTOS. ; Washington, November 8—The Navy Depart ment publishes an eloquent order, in memori&m of. Admiral Stewart, who died on Saturday* : He Jiad been 71 years in service. In the Supreme Court, in the case of Woodruff, et. al., rs. Parham, from tbe SunremeCourt of Ala bama, the opinion of the court below - was affirmed. The principle enunciated is, that the danse in .the Federal Constitution prohibiting the States from laying imposts on imports and exports, applies only to foreign commerce, and does not exempt sales of goods and merchandise imported from States of the Union from State taxation. Justice Nelson dissented, asserting the contrary by Chief Justice Taney and Marshal Sourrey. ' r '. j Gov. Bollock has ordered a special train for the in vited guests leaving Lynchburg on Saturday even ing. 13th inst. Gen. Capron, Prof. Henry, Assist tint Postmaster-General Earl, Senators Pomeroy, Cameron, and other prominent gentlemen and offi cials will certainly attend. • Revenue to-day ever half a million. Brogden has been .appointed Collector of the Second North Carolina District. Paraguayan advices indicate that -Lopez is still strongly posted, and capable of prolonging the struggle indefinitely. Washington, November 7.—Commissioner Dela- - no decides that where spirits are withdrawn and water introduced in the packages, they must be re- stamped. ■ TRACK LAYING OF MOBILE AM) N EW ORLEANS RAILROAD, Mobile, November - 8.—The track laying of tho Mobile and New Orleans Railroad commenced here to-day. Many citizens witnessed the ceremony. The first spike was driven by CoL Mann, proprietor of the Register, who made a very pertinent speech, in the course of which he skid he regarded it as not merely an inauguration of the - ono hundred and thirty-eight miles from Mobile to New Orleans, but of the great Southern Pacific route which this com pany, headed by such men as Ames, Sprague, Gard ner, Raynor, etc., intend building—eurveyB for which are now being pushed away west of Missis sippi, of which Mobile, with the finest harbor on the gulf, was the natural terminus for the branching here by tbe two national routes to the East and North, tho coast line and Chattanooga route. Hs said shipping merchants all know Mobile is now the cheapest port on the gulf for exporting cotton—and this road would bring immense quantities of cotton from New Orleans here for export; that Mobile was the healthiest of the Southern cities; and on ac count of immense deposits of coal and iron, easily accessible to her and the pine timber adjacent, she had a great fntnre as a manufacturing city. No city west to the Pacific coast affords Buch advantages. Colonel Smith (importer) followed, stating that Mobile was the cheapest port in the United States for importing coffee, as he bad demonstrated it by heavy importations the last year. Goorge N. Stewart spoke of the desire here to en courage Northern capital and enterprise to come among ns. He said the road was being built by Northern capitalists, who wore welcome, as all would be who would come to aid in the development of onr great natural resources. The grading of the road is well advanced ; the iron nearly all here and an early completion of rail connection with Now Orleans is promised. FROM VIRGINIA. Richmond, November 8.—A telegram to the Dispatch announces the arrest at Charlottesville to day, of John H. Salmon, charged with tho mnrdcr of his aged mother and young brother on Thnrsday morning last. They were found brained with a hatchet, and Salmon, who went home that morning drank from a neighboring farm, asserts that he found them in that condition. The prisoner was cool and denied the murder, but made many con tradictory statements. Gen. Canby issued an order to-day postponing all railroad stockholders’ meetings till the admission of the State. Richmond, November 7.—Four inches of snow fell at Covington, Va., and at Greenboro, North Carolina. Tho snow storm seems to havo followed the mountain range. Disorganization of Labor. The effects of the Tamer-Long labor conven tion, held in Macon a short time since, have be- gnn to crop ont in sundry places. Already we have had notice of a small strike in Macon, and a larger one in the connty of Dougherty, both unsuccessful in results. Emissaries of Tomer and Long have been sent ont to organize connty associations, and tbe first named worthy is re ported to be busy sowing the seeds of dissatis faction and reaping a reward from the hard- earned wages of his unfortunate dupes. It is said that he has made one or two trips to this section, in a qniet way, of late. It may he well for plantera to be informed of the de signs of these incendiaries and to take prompt measures to thwart them. An intelligent farmer of the county of Houston, a few days since, re ported to ns the results of two or three meetings to regulate labor,held in different sections of that connty. At the first it was resolved by the ne groes that they shonld not woTk for anything bnt standing wages of thirty dollars per month for men and fifteen for women, with rations added. At tho other the following terms were adopted: The planter to furnish land, stock,fer tilizers, food for stock, agricultural implements and rations for hands. In return the negroes were to work the land, free from the superin tendence, control or direction of proprietors or overseer, and at the end of the year, to give the planter one r fonrth of the cotton and one-third of the com. Of course these liberal terms can not and will not be complied with, bnt the labor inay be greatly disorganized at a time when cbn- raots for it sh ould be made. Tnmer and Long are determined to make trouble, to create bad feeling, and to drive plant ers, if possible, to seek Coolie, - or some other kind of labor, for their'own protection. The negroes will be, as a matter of neeessity, the only victims of this rascality and mischievous scheme to create dissatisfaction and confusion where everything now goes on prosperously and harmoniously.—Columbus Sun. Thb North Georgia Conference of the Meth odist Episoopal Church, South, will meet this ye«T in Rome, on the Bth day of next month. - ” t* Jefferson Davis.—The rooms engaged for Jefferson Davis et the St. Charies Hotel were yesterday afternoon taken possession of by him, and those of bis friends who happened at the moment of his entry to be in the Rotunda had an opportunity of shaking him by the hand and renewing their professions of friend8hip£*MM In personal appearance the ex-Confederate President, who was in the ordinary citizen's suit of sables, looks perhaps thinner than when he last visited the oity, though his figure still re tains the straight and erect appearance which always characterized him. He was reoeived very quietly, though wjjh evidently the deepest re spect by those whom he encountered, and one visitor to the hotel, upon Mr. Davis’ name be ing inscribed npon the register, stooped and kissed it with the greatest fervor. It is under stood that he will remain here until Ms depar ture for his residence in Mississippi, which will not' long be postponed. — New Orleans Times. FROM MISSISSIPPI.

Traveling Abed and'Asleep—Appearance of Savannah-The People— Business—IT. fk SA-wntW4—. i.v-vafpr\> Savannah, November 6, 1809. Editors 7 eltgraph: This thing of going to bed at night and finding yourself next morning one hundred and ninety miles away from tbe place where you retired, is rather a curious bnsl ness. It is a species of somnambulism peculiar to the present age. On Wednesday night I went to bed near Macon; at dawn the next day I opened my eyes on the ancient city of Savan nah. Of course I can give yon none of the in cidents of the trip nnless I relate my dreams, which would hardly prove entertaining to your readers. I slept soundly, save when some re morseless snorer, occnping a neighboring berth, made night hideous with unearthly sounds. When I reached Savannah I felt fresh and buoy ant I fancied I conld almost hear 'the roar of the sea; and the breeze which had lingered, on its bosom and caught the music of its waves, chanted a melody “ to mortal minstrelsy un known.” Tho morning was delightfully, pleas ant—the sky was unclouded — the city was wrapped in the stillness of repose—the stars, “Those orbs of light ' f I So wildly, spiritually bright"— were still twmkling in the cerulean vault above, and naught, save gray streaks in the’ east, gave token that the sun was abont to rise ' from his ocean bed. But soon all was changed.- “The hands of unseen nngels had shifted the scenery of heaven” and the stars paled and disappeared before the king of day. Savannah is a beautiful town—especially in the eariy morn, when the mists of the ocean, mingling with the rays of the sun, cast a mellow haze over the whole, city. I confess to a fond ness for tho place. I like the noiseless activity of its business thoroughfares. I like its pleas ant parks and handsome monuments—its mag nificent shade trees,.and its soft-.and balmy air., I like it, too, because it stands on the banks' of a majestic river, which ’. *‘Calmly and grandly,' Silently and deep” rolls on in quiet beauty, to the sea. Such a river is one of the most interesting objects in all nature. . I can ffiahd mid, ‘ v Mi “Watch its waters glide Till tho beauty of their stillness Overflows me’liko a tide.” An impression prevails that Savannah people are inflated with an inordinate self-conplacencv. Such- is not tho result of my observation.— Those of the people here whose acqnaintance I have formed, are decidely genial and pleasant. They have a due amount of self-esteem and an air of gentility and refinement, which is rather to be admired than condemned. You, perhaps, expect me to tell yon something of what is transpiring in business circles. I re gret that I cannot fulfill this just expectation. I have-been otherwise engaged so constantly that I have not visited the counting rooms and business houses of the city. I cannot tell yon whether cotton is “up” or “down,” nor what is the relative valne of gold and greenbacks. I have been several times on the bay in quest of tropical fruits and to get a sight of tbe shipping, andhave observed considerable activity amongst those engaged in the sale and shipment of cot ton. It is evident that Savannah is inarching safely on to increased wealth and prosperity. The U. S. Circuit Conrt has been in session here several days. The Bar of the State is well represented. Amongst those in attendance, are some very eminent members of the profession. Thus far, bnt one case of importance has been tried. The dockets are heavy, and the Conrt will probably remain in session several weeks. I have given yon rather a favorable account of my. visit to Savannah. Let it not >be sup posed, however, that l am indifferent to the at tractions of onr own beantiful city. In all this wide world, there is to rue “no place like home.” A. Two hulks of iron have been laid os the Air Line Road. (,...v.

EDITORIAL SCRAPS-FIRM'S DISH. BY SYDNEY HERBERT. For the Jilncon Daily Telegraph.] Packing Up.—A recent writer in the London Saturday Review, in an article under this head, Bays, among other things: . *We once knew a somewhat eccentrio fellow, eccentric however on this point alone, who piqued himself on starting for bis summer tour simply ‘as he stood.’ With a hat and an um brella he would have cheerfully storied for tho Caucasus or Nova Zembla, if his whim took him there; he certainly did start with this some what meagre outfit for Moscow and the Cala- brioa.” Notnnlike this eccentric traveller was the Hon. Mike IValsh, M. G., now deceased-poor fellow—who used to start for the city of-Wash ington with a single clean shirt collar in his hat crown, which made np his entire change of linen, etc.; and when asked by the porter at Willard’s, “Shall I carry yonr baggage np to yonr room, sir?” he would gracefully remove his hat, exhibit that solitary collar to the dark ey’s bewildered gaze, and politely reply—as he only could do—“Thank you, I can carry it my self.” : Poor Bennett.—Neither his marble newspa per palace nor his son’s heroic marine adven tures are sufficient, in his old age, to save him from the shafts of Prentice’s undimmed and unexpiring wit. \ Witness the following severe thrust: ‘ ... “It is said, in spite of all contradiction, that- James Gordon Bennett, of tho New York Her ald, is in very poor health, and likely to go off - on very short notice,^"—Buffalo Express. “He need not give ns notice.

Index, as this “wdto” - article of yours is not only an old, but almost a “played out” institution at the North. Like the degree of Dootor of Divinity, it was first given to persona of eminent ability; and sneb men as Lowell Mason and Thomas Hastings were among the venerable musical composers who first became known by the title ef Doctor of Music. Of late years, however, still resembling the degree of D. D., it has been so indiscriminately bestowed npon unworthy persons by U mushroon colleges," that it has fall en into disuse as well as disrepmte. A Questionable Benefit.—“A minstrel troupe out West recently advertised,” says an exohaage, “a concert for the benefit of the poor; tickets xedneed to twenty-five cents.” As a resalt of this the hall was crowded and the treasurer’s box filled. In the morning the officers of a benevo lent society of the town called on the manager and desired their share of the proceeds, but they were met with this oool reply: “Didn't we put the tickets down to twenty-five cents so that all the poor could come ?’! They left with “nary a reel," except it might have beea faces made red by mortification at the manner in which they had been sold—price, twenty-five cents. But this is not equal to a colored barber way down East, where he was born, who, years ago, when contributions were being made for the,poor straggling Greeks, advertised to shave for their benefit on a certain day. -Wben-the appointed day arrived, and tha cufltomer whom he had shaved or otherwise attended upon offer ed the usual fee, he politely declined to take it and replied:' “I shave to-day for the benefit of the unfortunate Greeks.'' of Greece, this new system of raising aid for them resulted in their final defeat at the hands of their enemies. “Let is Hath Peace. ’Vlt lias been said, by whom we cannot remember, that the Irishman will have peaee, if he has to fight, for it— Judged by this standard, Gen.

Those mys- terious words, “.Let us have Peace," which seem to have no> definite signification, have so often floated over the machine out of which we grind onr rhymes, that it has become impregnated with them.

Several years ago, in company with another merchant of the place—a shoe dealer—be visited an auction sale in Boston, where he bid off some goods. In reply to the usual question—“What name;” he replied in his usual squeaking, whining tone—“Thomas W. Baldwin.” The auctioneer, thinking his bidder was bewailing his bargain in tears, re joined—“Well, yon needn’t ciy about it, if you don’t want the goods, you needn’t take them.” Poor Baldwin, he could only Bay, “I ain’t cry ing, its my natural tone of voice.” When the story became known among his friends-ti was fnlly appreciated. Clayton, Ala., N&rember, 1869. .,'] FALLING OF A WAREHOUSE FLOOR. Thirteen Colored - Hen Barfed in Guano. Mr. Alfred Poindexter, Commission Merchant and General Agent for the Gallego Fertilizer Company, of Virginia, has been tngaged for some time in storing Peruvian gnano and ether fertilizers on the second floor of the warehouse of Mr. Hill. Gowdy, at the foot of Jefferson street. The gnano is in bags, and we believe other fertilizers in barrels. The barrels were stored on one side.of the room and the bags of guano on the other. They were piled on each side Of the room nearly to the ceiling, leaving a passage in tho middle, which was befog filled with bags of gnano. At about five o’clock yes terday afternoon, some twelve or thirteen col ored men were engaged in this work, when the floor gave way, and the entire mass of guano, the barrels of fertilizers and the men were pre cipitated to the bottom of the story below, a dis tance of some twenty-two feet. The men were covered with the bags and barrels, and Mr. Poin dexter, who had left the room but a moment be fore the catastrophe, set to work at once to dis inter the men, and, although several hundred negroes were on the ground fo a few minutes, not one of them could be prevailed npon to en ter the bnilding to assist in saving the lives ef their colored brethren. A number of white men volunteered their services, and in a very shert time the colored men wero rescued from their perilous situation. _ '• One man named Simon . Scott had his keg broken, his - ribs crushed in, and received in ternal injuries from which he is not expected to recover. • Another man had his arm broken, and re ceived numerous bruises. Another man’s leg was badly sprained, sad three others,.were severely braised, but none of them, with the exception of Scott, are supposed to be dangerously irjnred. Painful rumors were in circulation that seve ral other colored men were buried beneath bags of guano, but Mr. Poindexter nsed every means in his power to ascertain the truth of these re ports, and he is perfectly satisfied that alt the men have been rescued.—Sate. Republican. A Little Girl Burned to Death. Yesterday morning, on the plantation of Mr. Robert Bouer, about four miles from Hamburg, S. C., a most heartrending occurrence transpired in the burning of a little girty abont six years of age, daughter of Mr. Tompkins, who resided on the premises. The particulars of this sad occur rence are we learn: Mr. Tompkins was absent from home, and Mrs. T. had left the dwelling to attend to some out-door work, leaving three small children in the house. Daring her ab sence, the children, by soma-means, communi cated fire to some cotton or other combustible material fo the house, which caught the build ing, and soon enveloped it. in femes. When the mother's attention was-attracted, the house was burning rapidly. She rushed frantically to the rescue of her children,, two of whom she sac- ceedod in extricating without injury,, hat the third, a little girl about six years of age, was so badly burned as to cause her death yesterday afternoon. . ; .' j I' ~ (' The building and contents-were entirely con sumed, which, in addition to the terrible calam ity of the horrible fate sf; the little child, falls with, particular weight npon the unfortunate family, who have thus been deprived of every thing they possess. Mr. Robert Butler kindiv came to the city and made arrangements to re lieve the immediate necessities ef Mr. Tomp kins and his family.

The New York Evening Post republishes in a tote issue the great anti-tariff speech of Daniel Webster in Faneuil Hall, in October, 1820. In rtbis speech Mr. Webster considered whether Congress had a right to do by taxation what it can - cannot do directly—-to prescribe what suits shall and shall not be followed- by the people of this country. Is anything gained for any class by “protecting” each against the competition of every other, and by “protecting” money ont of every man’B pocket into-his. neighbor’s ?. If hot, if the process is sheer lows, is not the only gain by “protection” obtained by those who get it at the expense ot those who do not? and is not- this unjust? Is commerce such an enemy of national prosperity that it is wise to tax it to death just for tbe sake of killing it ? Is a popu lation, made up of. a handful of rich capitalists and a multitude of dependent factory laborers the best passible in a free 8tate ? Is the build ing up of such a community so great an object of national policy that the whole people ought to be taxed in order to accomplish it ? These are the questions discussed by Mr. Webster, and answered with a force that, fo his subsequent change of political position, he was not himself able to- overthrow. It does notf follow, how ever, that because the extreme policy of- “pro tection” shonld not be adopted, that therefore a system of unqualified free trade » to. be at tempted ; bnt rather a policy meeting the nec essary and jpsi requirements for revenue from customs, by which to pay the expanses of the most economical administration of the govern ment which it ia possible to atiafai, -Q. ijj Growth of Radical!am txs Alabama.
