We publish in another column the Report of the Board of Managers of the Association. We trust that it will be generally read, and that our citizens of all professions, will patronize and support the enterprise among us. 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. The Augusta Jockey A’lub. The Club met last evening at the Globe Hotel, and re-elected their old officers, viz : Geo. W. Lamar, President. Hon. W. K. Hearing, Vice President. Turner Clanton, Judge. J. M. Simpson, Secretary and Treasurer. The Races will commence on the sth, and tine ■post may be expected. Telegraph Reports. The wires have been put out of order by the freeze. We have, consequently, nothing under 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 dwelling, which was destroyed by fire on the night of the ‘2oth ult. Mr. Patrick was about eighty years old, and his wife fifty. Thirty-five slaves were recently liberated by their masters in Kentucky, and placed by him in the Oberlin School, Ohio. Parker H. French, the minister from Nicaragua, has received intimations that if he does not soon leave the country, the ghost of some old malfeas ance will appear in judgment against him. The late troubles in Kansas, grew out of the fact that tlie Free State men would not observe the conditions of their recent agreement at Laurence. The legislative wags in Washington, consider the sending in of the President's Message, unher alded, as a " centre shot.” Bishop Potter, of Pennsylvania, was in Savan nah for a dav or two, and left yesterday for the St. John’s, whither he goes to regain his impaired health. Mrs. P. is already in Florida. Miss Eliza Logan is announced io play in Sa vannah. on Monday night.

Stiles, delegates to the Democratic State Convention to assemble at Milledgeville, on the 15th instaut. 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. A fire broke out about six o’clock last evening in a two story wooden building at the comer of Floyd and Montgomery streets, occupied by Mrs. Canter, and owned by Henry Ilaupt. The entire inside of the second story was consumed, while the whole building was considerably damaged by the water from the engines. Nearly all the furniture of Mrs, Canter was saved, though injured from the water ;ind its hasty removal ,v>. Rep., Jot 5 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. Distressing Accident, —A voung man, a son of Logan Cunningham, of this District, was accident ly shot by his companion whose name we did not learn during Christmas. The load entered the knee of young Cunningham, causing his death the next morning. The parties were hunting rabbits at the time of the accident, —Gitette [communicated.] \ 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. In order to make a fair exhibit of the value of the Reading Room, your board submit the following list of Newspapers and Periodicals now on tile. NEWSPAPERS. Foreign. —Daily Loudon Times; Weekly Lon donderry Standard; Weekly London Illustrated News. Domestic — Commercial and Political. —Daily Bos ton Post, Journal of Commerce, Jr., New York Herald, New York Courier and Enquirer, Newark Advertiser, Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, Baltimore American and Commercial Advertiser, Washing ton National Intelligencer, Washington Union, Charleston Courier, Charleston Mercury, Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel, Augusta Constitutionalist, Savannah Georgian, Savannah Republican, Mobile Advertiser, New Orleans Picayune.

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. Henry'Moore, t ~ ... G. W. Lewis, j Comn » ltte '‘- Augusta, January 1, 1856.

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.
