Fuller’s Computing Telegraph.
We have had but little time to examine this
Computing Telegraph, but it appears to he quite a
desideratum. It is highly recommended, and we
will refer to it again.
Macon and Western Railroad.
The tenth annual report of this road appears in
the last Georgia Citizen. The gross earnings, over
previous year were $37,628.17, and net profits
$196,104.51. After paring for extension of road,
tract, Ac., $109,387.27 were left for a dividend
fund. The entire debt of the Company is but
$129,000. The road is reported to be in good or
der ; several new engines have been ordered ; they
have eight first class and six second class cars ;
and one hundred and seventy-one freight cars.
The income from passengers was $15,527.90 less
than in 1654. The increase from freights was in
consequence of the heavy crops of the past year.
The road appears to be doing a good business, but
subject to losses for cattle killed, damages of goods
in transitu, Ac., as all other roads are.
The Weather.
“ High on .in ieev throne the Frost-king stands.”
We have had an abundance of rain recently, and
we rather think the reservoirs of the clouds have
got hard up. Yesterday morning there was a
considerable change. The trees were clad with
icey vestments, and the eves of our dwellings were
hung with beautiful Lapland ornaments. The tel
egraph wires looked as if nature had used them for
a long tally-sheet, the night before, and in her hur
ry had forgotten to “ score.” The modest bleak
w ind is gadding about, and amusing itself by pinch
ing the nasal extremity, and otherwise rendering
out-door exercise uncomfortable. We are in the
midst of a cold sinap.
Colton’s Atlas of the World.
W e invite the attention of Teachers and others
interested, to the notice in another column, with
the above caption. We have been shown some
highly favorable recommendations to this Atlas
from the most eminent men in our country. The
series of Geographies are also recommended by
teachers in South Carolina, and it may be a work
worthy of general patronage. It is at least enti
tled to a respectful examination.

Telegraph Reports.
The wires have been put out of order by the

that head.
Hridge Toll Again.
Our City Fathers have ordered the tolls to be col
lected after the first of February. They might
have placed it, with more propriety, after the mid
dle of April, and allowed the people a voice.
Numbering the Houses.
V verv good move was made in Council, on Fri
day, bv Mr. W 11. Stark. The houses should he
numbered, and a resolution to that effect was passed
a few rears ago, by the Board, hut i: was entirely
neglected. It is hoped that the committee appoint
ed will make a favorable report on the subject, to
Council.
Another Donation. —lt is stated that George
Peabody, Esq., the distinguished London banker,
has made an additional donation to the Peabody
Institute, in South Danvers, Massachusetts. The
amount is fifteen thousand dollars. He has also
purchased and forwarded to it some two thousand
five hundred volumes of valuable books.
Bi itxuD to Death. —Mr. Charles Patric and
his wife, living in Jackson, Carroll county. New
Hampshire, were consumed by the flames of their

of the ‘2oth ult. Mr. Patrick was about eighty
years old, and his wife fifty.

Ths Compliment. — We know of no higher com
pliment that could possibly have been paid to the
management of our foreign relations bv the Presi
dent and his energetic and sensible Secretary of
State, than that involved in the emphatic endorse
ment which the position of the message treating
of our relations with Britain, growing out of the
Central American question, uttered "on Monday
last by Senators Clayton and Seward, in the Sen
ate chamber. No other two pub lie men arc more
systematically jealous of the policy of the present
administration, and naught but the influence of a
strong belief in the entire fitness of all that the
President has done upon that most important, de
licate, and threatening of all our pending interna
tional questions, would have induced them thus to
come forward instautiv and proclaim to the world
that what has been done in the premises, meets
their entire and hearty approval, and receives their
warm sympathy aud support —such being the gist
of the remarks of both the distinguished gentle
men. — Wd*hingt‘->i Star.

The Stars Still Peeping Out.
In occasional gatherings of the Know Nothing
party in different localities—in the phraseology of
some of their editorials, and in letters from some
of their prominent politicians, we notice the lights
peeping out. At a recent meeting of the Ameri- ;
can or Know Nothing party, at Rockingham, Va., 1
the following resolutions, among others equally
objectionable, were adopted:
Revived, That whilst wo cordially approve the !
principles of the 12th section of ’the platform
adopted by the National Convention at Philadel- '
phia, in June last, we protest against the said 12th
section being made a test of nationality in the i
American party.
2d. Resolved, That all that the South ought to
i ask of the North is to discountenance all agitation
of the slavery question, and that wc cordially ap- ;
prove the course of the American Organ upon that i
subject
The proceedings of this meeting were published !
in the Richmond American , of the Ist January, j
and will not likely be copied by the Know Nothing I
papers in Georgia. We dislike to see these evi- \
denees, but we owe it to the people to declare their '
existence, when we notice them proclaimed in
Know Nothing journals.
The first resolution recommends the co-operation
of Southern and Northern Know Nothings—the
hugging to their bosoms the Freesoil minions of
the North. In other words, if the North will not
retract their opposition to the 12th section of the
Philadelphia Platform, then Rockingham Know
Nothings will not insist upon its observance—in
fact they care nothing about it, and will agree to
any thing.
The second is a model resolution. If the South
ought only to ask the North to discountenance all
agitation of the slavery question, it is a very easy
matter—but what will be the result ? Is the Know 1
Nothing party so potent in influence that by their !
mere asking, the waves of Abolition and Freesoil- j
ism can be stayed. Where is the great Canute of j
the party that can stay the tide? The meeting \
“cordially approve the course of the Washington
Organ upon that subject.” The “course” has met
with but little opposition in Georgia, either in the
primary meetings of the people, or in the columns
of the Know Nothing press, hut the “course” is
operating in other quarters, and after a while, we
shall be enabled to see a more thorough develop
ment. Why do we think so? The party here
must embrace it, or disband—and if they embrace it
they ring their death knell in the South. They are
in a strait—and we kindly notice for them the
twinkling stars as they peep out.
The Washington “ Organ" is very much offen
ded at that portion of the President’s Message
which treats of the Constitutional relations of
slavery. The editor says: “We can find no words
which adequately express our contempt for the de
magogueism, contained in this portion of the Pre
sident’s Message.”
We merely refer to these matters now. They
are the signs in political astronomy—some of the
“coming events which cast their shadows before'”
Professor McCay.
Much dissatisfaction appears to exist in the pub
lic mind by the election of Prof. McCav to the
Presidency of the South Carolina University to the
prejudice of the claim of olcL. Professors.
It is understood that Professor Leiber on account
thereof has sent in his resignation to take effect in
December, 1856. — -Atlanta Intelligence >.
There is always more or less disconteni in this
world, and Professors are subject to the “ little
weaknesses” as well as other people. The pri
vate in the ranks fancies he has a full capacity for
the place of corporal—subaltern officers often
often feel envious of the position of others of high
grade, Tutors know they are entitled to Profes
sorship-, and Professors are satisfied that their
ability is overlooked in the selection of a President.
) But so the world wags—all cannot be Captains,
and the disinterested public are always satisfied if
they have their important offices filled by men of
marked ability, virtue, industry and honesty.
Tito Philadelphia North American, of Wednes
" day, says:
“ It is with pleasure that wc notice the elevation
of Professor C, F. McCay, to the Presidency of the
South Carolina College, at Columbia. Professor
McCay is a native of Pennsylvania, where he is
well known among our means as a gentleman of
varied ami distinguished acquirements. A better
choice to fill this important trust could not have
been made, and in conferring the honor upon so
worthy a recipient. South Carolina has insured the
I prosperity of her favorite institution.
“ Mr. McCay occupied for many years a leading
' position among the faculty of the University of
' Georgia, at Athens, from which institution he se
-1 parated, deeply regretted by all connected with it.”
Funeral of .fudge Berrien.
The solemnities yesterday, designed as the last
sad rites of friendship and Christian duty to our
late distinguished citizen, Judge Berrien, were
worthy of the illustrious dead, and of those who
assembled to do honor to his memory. It was a
fit recognition of departed worth ; no gorgeous dis
play as heartless as it is glittering, but the affec
tionate and sincere homage of those that loved
him.
According to previous announcement, the fune
ral services were celebrated at Christ Chureh, of
which the deceased was, for many years, a commu
nicant, at 3 o’clock, P. M. The weather was most
unpropitious, yet long before the hour appointed
for the services, a large number of citizens of all
classes had collected in the Chureh, and on the
streets, and in the square in front of it, to testify
their respect for the private worth and public ser
vices of the departed. The Georgia Hussars, of
whom he was the first commander, were brought
into line in front of the Church, and received the
corpse upon its arrival, in charge of a committee
of citizens, with a funeral dirge from their band.
The body was enclosed in an elegant metalic
coffin, highly polished and colored in imitation of
rosewood. It was received at the door of the
Church by the Rt. Rev. Stephen Elliott, Bishop of
Georgia and pastor of Christ Church—by the sur
viving Warden and Vestrymen of the' Church,
(the deceased being senior Warden,) and the War
dens and Vestrymen of St. John's Church. It was
then borne down the aisle, and placed in front of
the chancel, where it remained during the solemn
services that followed, These were conducted by
Bishop Elliott, in a most solemn and affecting
manner, according to the forms of the Episcopal
Church.
The services being over, the body was returned
to the hearse, and thence, escorted by the Hussars,
was followed to the Laurel Grove Cemetery bv one
of the largest and most imposing processions'ever
witnessed in this city. Arrived at the place of
sepulture, the bodv was lowered to its last resting
place, and the burial services read by Bishop El
liott. The Hussars then fired a salute over the
grave, and in a few moments the manly form,
which we have so long loved to gaze upon, was hid
forever beneath the clods of the valley.
Thus has passed away Georgia’s greatest son—a
profound statesman, an unrivalled jurist, a finished
orator, an accomplished gentleman, and an humble
Christian. To his children and his countrymen he
has left an invaluable legacy in his own spotless
and illustrious example. -Sar. Rep. .Jan. 4.
Tribute of Itespect.
At a meeting of the Trustees and Faculty of the
Savannah Medical College, held on Thursday, the
3d day of January, 16a*>, the Right Rev. Stephen
Elliott was called to the Chair, and Dr. U. D. Ar
nold requested to act as Secretary. The death of
the Hon. John Macphersox Berries, President of
the Board of Trustees of the Savannah Medical
College, having been announced, the following
Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed.
In common with our fellow citizens we lament
the death of our fellow townsman, the Hon. .Torn
M vcPHKi;son Berries. We have long revered him
as the ripe scholar, the eminent jurist, the distiti
guished statesman, and have felt a just pride in his
well-earned reputation.
But his relations towards our institution were
such as to endear him to us, for the warm interest
he Las ever exhibited in its prosperity.
Be it, therefore,
R(t>ilffd. That in the death of the Hon. John
Macphkrson Berrien, President of the Board of
Trustees of the Savannah Medical College, we
deeply deplore the loss of one of the earliest and
strongest friends of the institution—one whose
counsels gave strength, aud whose character gave
weight to" the enterprise of Medical Education in
our midst.
RttrJ.i'j, That we tender our sympathy io the
family of the deceased for their irreparable loss.
R-owred, That a copy of these resolutions be
published in the gazettes of the city, and that one
be furnished to the family of the deceased.
Stephen Elliott, Chairman.
R. D. Arnold, Secretary.

\ oung Men’s Library Association.
The annual meeting of the Voung Men’s Library \
Association was held, pursuant to notice, on Wed- |
nesday evening, 2d inst, at the Library Room of
the Association.
Dr. I. P. Garvin was called to the Chair, and M. j
Hatch, Esq., appointed Secretary.
The Annual Report was then read:
The undersigned, Committee on behalf of the i
Board of Managers of the Voung Men’s Library
Association, beg leave to submit the following as
the Eighth Annual
REPORT.
The primary object of the Association is the
diffusion of knowledge. In the attainment of that j
object, our Constitution and By-Laws demand, that j
our immediate and special efforts should be di- j
rected—
-Ist. To furnish, at a low rate, for the use of the j
advanced scholars of the two Free Schools, and
the young men oUthe citv, “mechanics, clerks and
apprentices,” the works of standard authors.
2d. To acquire, for the use of our community,
such standard works of reference in the various
branches of knowledge, as are not usually found in
private Libraries.
3d. To provide, for the use of our commercial
community, the most reliable intelligence pub
lished at such points as most affect their interests.
Your Board are deeply impressed with the im
portance of these objects’; but they have been un
willing to jeopard the existence, or embarrass the
future action of the Association by debt. During
the past rear, therefore, they have deemed it the
wisest policy, to restrict the expenditures to the
lowest limits.
RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
The receipts and expenditures for the year which
has just ended, have been as follows:
Receipts —
Income from annual members $126 00
“ “ trust fund aud other sources 859 93
$985 93
j Expenditures —
Newspapers and Periodicals $221 00
j Salary, rent and incidentals 482 72
j Balunce in the Treasury 282 21
$985 93
READING ROOM.
The files of our Reading Room contain three for
eign and thirty-two domestic newspapers, and five
re-prints of foreign and eight domestic periodicals.

Reading Room, your board submit the following
list of Newspapers and Periodicals now on tile.

LIBRARY.
The Increase of the Library has baen as follows,
viz: vols. pumph’s.
j By Deposit 408
“ donation from individuals 109 4n
“ “ “ General Govern’t. 48
1 otal 565 4n
It will be observed, that your Board have added
nothing to the Library during the past year, by pur
i chase. They deemed it inexpedient to devote any
portion of the income to that purpose. The sur
plus now in the Treasury, will be sufficient to de
fray the expenses of the Reading Room, and justi
fy the expenditure, of at least an equal sum, in the
purchase of new and popular works, during the
current year. By the record of the Librarian there
appears to have been loaned
i In 1854, 484 vols. exclu’e. of period’ls to 73 bow.ro.
jln 1855, 505 “ “ “ 57 “
The character of the works loaned, is as follows ;
Ist. Works of Fiction. 2d. Voyages and Travels:
3d. Biographies: 4th. Works on Political Subjects:
Works on other subjects being about equal. And,
it is worthy of note, that the works of Sir Walter
Scott, Charles Dickens, and J. Fennimore Cooper,
have been sought after, more than all other works
of fiction.
Life anti Anneal Members.— Our life members
at present number sixty-nine. These are entitled
to the privileges of the Library and Reading Room
free of charge.
The number of annual members who have sub
scribed during the past year, is forty-eight; and
the receipts from this source, $126.00. Os these,
twenty-nine have been members of the two Free
Schools, clerks and apprentices, and admitted at
the minimum charge. The number of annual
members in 1853 was one hundred and eight, and
their subscriptions amounted to $518.94; and in
1854, fifty-two—subscriptions $76.00. The re
duction in the number of annual members in 1854
was caused bv many of the annual becoming life
members. I'he falling off in 1855 is in that class
of members who are entitled to the privileges al
the minimum price, viz: $1.00; and is to he at
tributed to the fact that we have made no additions
of popular works to the library. The increased
receipts is due to the increase in that class of mem
bers who are entitled to the privileges by the pay
ment of five dollars per annum —occasioned, per
haps, by the increased number and variety of
newspapers found upon our files during the past
year.
In concluding this report, your Board cannot re
frain from expressing the regret that the progress
of the past year has not been equal to the demands
of the community, nor commensurate with the ob
jects of the association. Again and again, works
of standard authors have been called for, which
could not he found on your shelves, and informa
tion properly sought, which your Reading Room
could not afford.
It would be highly desirable to obtain a more
suitable location and more commodious rooms, and
to add a good selection of maps to the reading
room, and standard books to the Library.
Your Board, therefore, would again urge and
commend the ejects of the association to your ef
fort*. Our object is certainly noble—noble in its
usefulness.
If it be true, as it lias been well said, “that a
person who cannot read, is a being not contempla
ted by the genius of the American Constitution,”
it is certainly true, that it is the duty of every
American citizen to cherish the only means which
enables him to form a just estimate of his govern
ment, and defend properly his rights: and if “the in
telligence of the citizen is the security of the gov
ernment,'' it is the duty of the citizen to labor
earnestly for the diffusion of knowledge, with the
design to preserve that standard of intelligence,
which is alike essential to the prosperity and per
petuity of good government.
All of which is resneefullv submitted.

M. Hatch, Secretary.
The Cause of it. —It is said to-day among those
usually well informed on such points that the
President determined in Cabinet council only as
recently as Saturday night last, to send in the
message immediately. The English Parliament is
soon to assemble, aud it was jttdged of the utmost
importance to the future of our relations with Bri
tain, that the position of this Government upon
the questions in issue with her should be tho
roughly and correctly comprehended in London on
the meeting of the English Legislature.
Nothing could be plainer, it will thus be per
ceived, than the imperative duty resting on the
President to protect the public interest by doing
as he did, without standing longer on point of eti
quette with the House, whose condition is indeed
a serious injury to it.— Washington Star.
