We have been requested to state that the Convention of the American Party, called t<> assemble at MUIodgeviUe the 13th, has been postponed to Thursday tho 20th Dec. This has been done in order to give more time for the ap pointment ol delegates. Tho American press in the Stato will please call atten tion to the chauge. nor 27. JS/* This day having been set npnrt by the Governor of Georgia for Thanksgiving and Praise, no paper will be issued from this office to-morrow. -JTSf Tho steamship Stato of Georgia will sail for Philadelphia at 12 o’clock to-day, her departure having been postponed from yesterday to take aboard some freight. Tubatrical.—The performances at tho Atho- nseum the last two evenings fully establish the claims of Mr. Bennett to a high rank among the actors of his day. Richard III. was played Tues day night, and though greatly marred by the twi light in which it was preseuted (the gas,from some cause, refusing to perform its office) the perform ance, upon the whole, was highly creditable. Tho closing act, especially, was represented with fine effect. We doubt if the tragedy of llosworth Field could bo much improved upon on any stage. The dogged, desperate courage of the iron-hearted Richard was fearfully portrayed ; while tho char acter of brave and gallant, though calm and pas- sionloss Richmond lost nothing in the hands of Mr. Crisp. Virginius was performed Inst night to a thin house,owing, no doubt, to the political meeting whieh attracted large numbers, and tho sloppy condition of the streets. Yet tho circumstance seemed to work no abatement in the spirit of the Company. The play was represented with excellent effect, and to the satisfaction of all present. Tho rendering of some parts in tho character of Virginius by Mr. Bennett, were peculiar, and we thought a de cided improvement upon the acting of others whom we have seen in the same piece." American Nominations. Tho friends of law and order assembled in strong force at St. Andrew's Hall last evening. C. A. L. Lamar, Esq., was called to tho Chair, and Spencer ^urrcll appointed Secretary. ^On motion, Henry Williams, Esq., in behalf of the nominating committee, proceeded to submit the following ticket for the ratification of tho meeting: For Mayor. ED. C. ANDERSON. • [(ferreapondence of tho Savannah Republican.) LA TIC It FROM CALIFORNIA. For Aldermen. Thos. S. Wnyno. John N. Lewis. A. N. Miller. Gilbert Butler. Dr. Sol. Sheftall. Jos. G. Rodgers. Chas. ft. Mills. Dr. Chas. West. J.J1. Unllio. Richard Bradley. John Mallcry. R. A. Allen. Tho ticket was received with hearty npplnuse, and unanimously nominated. Mr. Williams stated that those members of tho present Board whoso names do not appear upon the ticket, were tendered a nomination, and that they declined to serve. Tho mooting was addressed by Mr. Dawson, when a motion to adjourn with three hearty cheers for the American party, was mude and carried. Of the men here presented for tho suffrages of our citizens, it h» wholly unnecessary for us to speak. They arc all well known ns men of char acter and worth, while the candidates for Mayor and a majority of tho Aldormon aro about to close up a year’s administration of our city afl'uirs that will stand in our history as a monument of public spirit and official fidelity. The admirable manner in which our city has been governed, and all its in terests cared for, during the year that lias passed, has stopped tho mouths of cavilers and challenged universal approval. These things cannot bo de nied, and they appeal to thojntcrcsts, ns well ns the justice and gratitude, of our people. It remains to be scon in tho coming election whether justice and tho public weal, or the relent less behests of a political faction, shall prevail— whether the peoplo of Savannah urc willing to confide the great and growing interests of tho city to tried and trusty hands, or whether they arc to be regarded as a legitimate prize for party plun der, the stock in trade upon which demagogues •hall fatten and rise to power. We fearlessly sub. mit the issue. [For tho Savannah ItepalUican.] Democratic Ticket. Jfeuri. Editort.—I see by the Evening Journal, that tho nominating convention of tho Democratic party has, probably, agreed upon tho following ticket. For Mayor, Dr. J. P. Screven; for Aldermen, Dr. Wayne, John G. Fulligant, Dominick O’Byrne, Johnson, Wm. J. Basinger, Sol. Cohen, J. .J. Kelly, R. D. Walker, Lnehlison, A. R. Law- ton, Thos. M. Turner, and Dr. Arnold. Rumor has it also, that the committco supposed the public might think tho proposed candidate for Mayor already had as much business as lie could attend to, ns President of tho Gulf Rond, chief of the Water Works, head of tho new Hotel, Sonntor in tho Legislature, Ac. To remedy this, should lie bo elected, rumor further has it that the Alderman who mny bo chosen Chuirmnn of Council, will dis charge the duties of Mayor and receive the salary. If this bo true, it would appear that Dr. fi. is not the real candidate for Mayor, but that Dr. Wayne or some other person upon tho Aldermen’s ticket, is. Dr. 8. merely lends tho use of hin name, while tho real candidate runs in disguise. I hope this rumor will not prove true. A NO-PAHTY MAN. Pleasant Incident.—We happened, says the Southenn Recorder, to be in tho Representative Chamber tho other day When tiio names of eandi dates for the vaenney on the Supremo Bench were announced. When Charles J.

Included ii these exports wore 5021 barrels flour, 1314 barrels of corn meal, 1041 bushels of corn, 207 bushels of wheat, 7300 bushels of rye, 1380 boxes sugar, 402 tons Cumberland coal, and 527 hogsheads tobacco. It is stated that Mr. Clark Mills has finished the equestrian statue of Gen. Jackson (similar to that which adorns Lnfuyotto Square) for tho city of New Orleans, where it will bo inaugurated on tho 8th of January next with much pomp and cere mony. The flrKt premium for the best Factory Cloth at the Fair of tho East Tennessee Agricultural Society, held at Knoxville, on tho 30th nit., was awarded to a gentlemen who exhibited a lmlo of sheetings from tho Macon Steam Mills. These Mills have taken the first premium wherever their goods huvu been exhibited, Tiik American Party of Columbus has nomi nated CoL F. C. Wilkins for Mayor. INTBRKSTING FROM CENTRAL AMB! Marin* Dlaaataroon th* Florida K< Key West, Nov. 26th. Mean Kditon: The stenmship Star of the West, Capt. Minor, from San Juan, arrived nt this port at 7 o’clock, P. M., of tho 23d., with 100 pas sengers and a small amount of speclo. She brings San Francisco dates up to the 5th, and Groneda and Grey town papers of Inc 13th and 17th. The Star of tho West received on board from tho yard of tho agent, Asa K. Tift, Esq., ono hundred and sixty tons of coal. Tho wheolcrs were throo hours aud forty minutes in placing it in the coal bunkers of the steamer. This dispatch we bclievo to bo un paralleled. The entire detention of the ship was but six hours. She left ut 1 o'clock, A. M., of tho 121th. We are indebted to Purser Owou aud to tho messenger of G. II. Wines A Co., for full files of California and Isthmus papers—from tho former we glean nothing of any especial importance. Tho Indian tribes of Oregon nnd Washington Territo ries, had taken up tho tomahawk in earnest, and a serious nnd extensive war had commenced. Report said that 70 or more whites had been killed and ns many China-men; ami in several places United States troops and families nro in very dangerous positions. Tho volunteers nnd United Statos troops had turned out liberally ami had in several skirmishes punished tho rod skins severely, but tho Indians on uccouut of their numbers, had gained decided advantages at tho latest accounts. News bad arrived at San Francisco from Valparaiso, that Henry Mciggs tho fogcr, would probably be arrested by tho Chiilian authorities and be sent to tho United States by tho first Amer ican man-of-war. There is uo treaty of interna tional extradition between the United States nnd Chill, but tho Chiilian government had ns a matter of courtesy ordered that ho should bo arrested and delivered up to any person nutuorjzod by Minister Starkweather to receive him. Tho Novelty distillery was destroyed by firo on 2d, and soveral persons killed—loss df property $120,900. Tho city of Canon was destroyed by fire, and great loss nnd suffering bad ensued.-— News from the mining districts was most encoura ging. Two bunking houses in Marysville alone had bought during the last 8 months five nnd a quarter millions of dollars worth of dust.— Great cxcitcmcut had been created in Tuolum ne county by tho discovery of a large nmount of very rich and extensive auriferous deposits under Table mountain. This mountain is of basalt, from 100 to 708 feet in height. Under tho basalt is a layer of gravel and clay which had evidently once been die bed of a river. Extensive tunnels and shafts have been made into the bowels of tho moun tain. Tire pny dirt reached is found to bo abundant und so rich that in one place ono hundred square feet varying in depth from one to six ^ect puid $100,000. The whole mountain has been taken up by the miners—nnd claims were selling from 15 to $35,000 each. The Custom House statistics show that 27,204 persons had arrived nt Snn Francisco by sen, during the first ten months of this year, and 18,314 depar ted—showing a gain of 8,990. An interesting geologicnl formation has been discovered in eno of the hills nenr the town of Volcano. (?) A shaft, after reaching a depth of sixty feet, struck a soft blue rock, which could be brokeu up, however, in blocks, by hard blows from a pick. In this rock nro innumerable traces of leaves of trees of many varieties. Some of thoso were obtniued perfectly preserved. On penetrating into this rock a few feet, it became firmer, nnd blocks were taken out whieh were evidently frag ments of trees, in quite a degreo of petrifaction.— Under this were found boulders, nnd other water deposits, overlaying a slate bed rock. Tho most interesting news from Nicaragua is tho trial, conviction and execution of Don Poncitt- no Corral for high treason und conspiracy against the Government. On tho 5th Inst., Gen. Valle, of the Army of tho Republic, delivered to Gen. Walker letters inter cepted by him, addressed by (Jen. Corral anil tien. Martinez to Santos Guurdioln, Into a general officer in the Legitimist Army of Nicaragua; those let ters, together with another from Gen. Corral to a friend, intercepted at the same time, betrayed tho existence of a traitorous understanding between Gens. Corral, Mnrtincz, Xntruch nnd Gunrdioln to overturn the present Government of tho Republic, which hut u few days before, with tho Bible in ono hand and tho treaty in tho other, nttlio foot of the altar, in tho Temple of tho Almighty, in the pre sence of his Saviour, lio (Ocn. Coirnl) lmd sworn to respect, obey nnd uphold. Gen. Corral was forthwith arrested, and charges nnd specifications wore prepared against him, and a Court-Martial summoned to try him for high treason. The Court met, nnd nftcr a patient cxnminution and consid eration of tho proofs und letters, found him guilty of tho charges uml specifications, nnd sentenced him to bo shot. The finding nnd sentenco were approved und confirmed on tho 7th, nnd ho wns or dered to be shot in tho I’lnzn lit 12 o’clock of tho 8th. Tho hour was changed to 2 o’clock, in order to enable tho prisoner to complete his preparations for death. At that hour ho was led forth, nnd, in the presence of the Garrison, wns shot in the great squuro of the city of Grenada. Gen. Corral was Minister of War under Ocn. Walker, lie wus much beluvud by mnny, and immensely popular in the country. Hu met his fate with tho composure of a soldier, and was evidently n man worthy of n better end. On the 10th, His Excellency tho President, sur rounded by the Ministers of State, tho Cntnmnn- dcr-in-Chief, and other distinguished persons, re ceived the Hon. John II. Wheeler, Minister of the United Status near the Republic. The Minister in a neat and appropriate address, acknowledged, on the part of the Government which he so ably rep resents, tbo independence and sovereignty of flic Government established by the treaty of tho 23d i.ltiino, and assured his Excellency of tho kind re gard aud well wishes entertained by the Chief Magistrate of tho United States towards tho Re public of Grenada. Tho President returned the compliments in a few happy remarks, when Col. Wheeler advancing, they interchanged a most cor dial greeting of the hands. Tims dosed the inter esting ceremonies. A nutionai saluto was fired on the Plaza. The Angel of Pcaco now smiles on this benight ed and unhappy country; her steps uro slow and sure, nnd her ways aro kindly nnd good. Already does this beautiful land fuel her blessed, benign and sacred influence. Tho people of Nicaragua begin to see the morning’s dawn of true liberty when all men will lie actuated by u love of coun try, when civil strife shall cease and peace, harmo ny and concord reign supreme umid the Councils of State. Now, tho imtillud ground thnt in years gone by termed with the fairest products of tho earth, where now nought is but a vast wild and unculti vated plain, peace will place her band to the plougho and progress and wealth will follow on its trucks; the long deserted Hacienda will again lie inhnbits cd, Hie crumbling churches rebuilt, the remnant, of families will he gathered together, nnd liv- nmidst the homes of their fathers, cementing love nnd fraternity, living in peace and building fur themselves and their children a nation and country which “ manifest destiny” declares to ho mighty and grand.

Enrrons:—I hnvo heard at different times recently, thnt there had been objections made to closing up n passage which leuds to Iho hank of tho Warsaw river, called tho Thunderbolt rond.— In your paper of tho 27th inst., I observe that tho attention of tho Rond Commissioners is called to this subject. May I ask tho favor, through your columns, of giving an explanation of this matter? Warsaw river, about four miles front tho city of Savannah, comes up to the main laud nnd inukes u high and handsome bluff, about three-fourths of a mile in length. Many yours ngo, a portion of this bluff was laid out into lots and called O’Bry- nnsvillo; more recently it 1ms been called Thuij* derbolt. The extent of tho lots laid out occupied about one half of tho whole bluff, runniug buck from tho river to tho common rond, made for the use of tho lots. After those lots were laid out, they were sold, with tho privilege of tho buck struct; consequently the road to tho respective lots runs on tho farthest portion or lino of lots, nnd uot on tho river lmnk. This plan, however, hits not been the governing plnit of O’Bryansvillo, but, contrary to the original design, n rond bad been used running on tho river hank, nnd passing through tho respective lots—and theso were pnssn- ges nt different places to tho river bank, of which the rond now closed nnd complained of was one.— Such hud been the condition of this place for years past, nnd the property considered of littlo value. An increnso of the population of Savannah caused some persons, who could not remove fur from their business nnd homes, to desire n country re treat, and the memorable summer nnd full of fifty- four increased I hat desire. Tito other portion of this bluff wns then laid off into lots, nnd tho road in the rear continued open, so that oneh lot has nn entrance from this back roud. In tho purchase of tite lots more recently sold, a front street wns re served, nnd now, by a conventional understanding, this street is opened about a half inilo in length, which affords tite villagers u pleasant nnd hand some promenade. The public road is also open in the rear of the lots, und cannot bo cloned ; not so however, with tho front street, for each lot-holder in O’RryunsviUo hits the right to extend his fences across his lot to low water mark. This is a brief statement of tho condition of tho roads. As there is no fence ucross the Thunder bolt rond, until tho continuation of the lino of lots which havo been sold crosses, nnd ns the rond in tho rear of thoso lots is public, anil tho rond in front is not public, n visitor will sec thnt it is sim ply through cloincncy that tho uso of tho hand- soldo street on the river has boon granted, oneh lot-holder in O’Bryansvillo having the right nt ntiy time to extend his fence from the rear of his lot to low water mark. Tho snmo privilege might bo granted to tho more recently luid out portion, lly this explanation it will be seen thnt no one is in jured by tho fonco across Thunderbolt road, and consequently no onp cun justly complain. Warsaw. I From the Macon Messenger.| General Depot at Murom Tho Gonorai Passenger Depot, on Fourth and Mum Streots, for tho accommodation of tho l*us- ougor Trains of all of tho Railroads conuocting at uis point, is very uearly completed, and on Mon- ay next these trains will Itogiu to run to und from •.

Oxen Vkurus Houses,—An enthusiastic ad mirer of oxen, in pleading tiioir claims in tho Stock Register, says: Oxen nre much better in mnny respects for work, ing than horses ; sumo of which advantages may l>e summed up ns follows: They cost much less in the first instance, and are therefore moro within the roach of men of moderate menus. They nre less liable to disease, ami if an accident occurs which disables them from labor, they may ho con verted into food. If a horse should happen to break a log, a bullet might ns well he put through his head at once, for lie is worthless ever after; hut if tliu same accident happens to an ox, ho enn be converted immediately into beef, provided lie is sufficiently in flesh ; or if this is not the case, tho wound can generally bo so far cured ns to enable the animal afterwards to fatten. The ox will cat less food and of a conrscr kind than tliu horse, and needs less attention in order to thrive. He will work in localities impossible for the horse, and go forward patiently with labors which would chafe tho other into utter intracta bility. No man who has ever witnessed the two kinds of animals nt work around a saw-tnill yard, for in stance, can fail to have been struck with this dif ference in their character. Hitch a span of horses to a log which is too henvy for them to start at once, und in nine cases out of ten, uftor one or two efl'orts they will either break racir harness, splinter a whifflotreo, or lmlk, and refuse to draw at nil.—- Now try it with a yoke of well broken oxen, nnd they will lay out their utmost strength with tho same gentleness nnd good will for the twentieth lime, as they did nt first.

The Emperor Napoleon Plavino “Smi't.”— During tliu visit of tho Duke nnd Duchess of Bra bant to Paris, many anecdotes lire told of tho young Duchess, whieh aro much relished by the pul die.

The game <d’ “smut” has become classical in the court of St. Cloud.

The Arbour Saloon Homicide. Tin Htati vs. Nathaniel Lb vis, Ciuhuzd with tiiz Chimb or Muhuzr. The investigation of the murder of Francis Hyatt, nr- tired til our Issue of yutor*lay, took place at the Coint House yesterday, commencing at 12) j o'clock, before Jus tices Russell nml Connell. The room was filled witli spectators, anxious to ascertain the result of the investi gat Ion, which lasted until 0 o’clock in tli.! afternoon, an Intennlasiou of an hour and a half occurring at dinner time.

On being asked, “Would you lie willing to swear tlmt you did not see him;" an swered, “couldn't say." Haw smoke after bearing tliu ru- port of n pistol or gun. The bar kee|ior was sitting in it choir behind the bar, and fell. Immediately after the report I went out. Tlrere wus a man nearer the bar keeper limn I wits; don't know tint that 111.111 was Lewis; um unwilling to swear to it. After sum - hesitation, tire witness said. 'Jeiitluiuen, I'll tell the truth uliout it, 1 was drunk." Cannot swear tlmt I recognize tlmt mill, (incnuiiig Lewis.) On Iteing usked, "can you swear ymt don’t know him;'’ he made no answer; but said "I was tight la-t night ami am tight now." Here Justice Hus- sell called to the Sheriff to take witness to jail und keep him there until lie wus solier. Witness then Mild, ‘ I mu perfectly sober now.’’ Being asked if In* did not this morning point out the prisoner living the person who committed the art.he replied: "1 said llale-relmiii uml I were at Haywood's corner, mid saw a man drunk come by, called Captain Henry, of tile army, who went into tho billiard room. I In lleve 1 saw him again iu the billiard riMim. The limn whom 1 saw standing ut the end of thu counter, when I saw the smoke was a little lurger than myself. Don't r 'collect any other |ierson coming Into the har-risun. 1 said if I saw the mmi, und lie did not shave his head and cut his whl-kers off. I would know him again. Here he was told to look round and sav if Nuthauiel l*w is wnsimt the man. Witness would not look round. Several persons were then brought before witness iu the court room, among them was Lewis. He said Lewis was the limn nt the end of tlm counter ut the time tlm pistol was fired, t was in the billiard room at the time; also J. Jl. Habersham, Win. Uowen, Capt. Henry, the bur keejier, (IIvatt 1 nud another man—damned If I know who he was. The mmi called for liquor; tlm bar keeper refused to give it to him, telling he was too drunk, uml would tlmuk him tomorrow when he was solier fur not giving him any. Tlm mull kept asking for liquor, Hyatt still re fusing. Tlm former then said Im must Iiuve it, hut tho Imr keeper persisted iu his refusal. At that time Henry. Uowen. and lluls-rslmiii, walked to midships of billiard table; they spoke of hearing wlnit wns going on at tlm end of the counter. Then I heard it report and suw smoke; I suw the bur keeper lean over and fall from his seat. The)iiioineiit the pistol fired, or immediately there- utter, 1 recognized Win. Hee coming up from thu eating silisni. The man who st<ss| at thu end of tin- counter then walked out. I left and went to the I’ulu-dri House. Did not see the pistol. N'eith r Howell, lli-nry, nor Hah- crshnni fired the pistol. The man who tired the pisi<,l was in the liar-room at the end of the counter. Don't know the name of tlm man who went out ahead of me. Crush Kxvminkh.—Being Intoxicated at the time, does all this not appear like a dream to you? Answer—As I did not see the pistol, d d If I know whether the liuin nt tin- counter shot him or he shot himself. 1 know that what 1 have said is true. Capt. Henry sworn— I ci nfess with shame nnd reluctance to being intoxica te I hist night. I don't know nuything of tho affair.— Have an indistinct recollection of hearing a pistol shot, and of usking Mr. Habcr-dmm what was tho matter. Mr. II. said, •• a man wus shot, let us see who it is." 1 refused and went out. 1 think the prisoner (Lewis) wns with us. 1 never saw him la-fore. 1 think lie was present—at least that is my impression. 1 did not know deceased; nm n stranger here; think the slmt was iu thu direction of the bar. Having some ex|M-rienco ill such sounds,! to icluded some one lmd been hurt. Capt.

I poii information from tlm parties present ut the difficulty, I caused the arrest to be mude. I went to Cur ran's bar-room in Hay hum. w hore 1 found Lewis and took him to tho Gunrd House. 1 then sent for Justices Connell nnd Russell. I went to the sci-110 of tlm dilficul- ty soon after the occurrence; tlio body was lying behind tin- counter; saw the wound; it was near the left temple over tin- left eye.

At the time of the arrest, prisoner was disposed to converse, but 1 checked him; ho exhibited some feeling—not mine than is usual un-b r excitement when on > lias been ar rested. This is tlm only dires t jiositive evidence I have. Witm-ss further stilted that prisoner made some singular remarks when arrested—among others, "by 0—d, I’m not twenty yet.” Win. 1*.
