TUESDAY MORNING, JAN’Y. 8.
River News.
The river has receded to ten feet by the mark.
Steamer Talomicco leaves to-dav. The Chatham

Washburn’s Circus.
l’hia company perform to-night, and from die
favorable notices we have received of their enter

have a series of crowded houses here.
The Races To-day.
There is considerable interest felt in the Sweep
stake Races to come off to-day. There are several
line blooded nags, three year old, announced to
enter the contest, where heel and bottom and good
riding, must decide.
A New Stave Making Machine.
Mr. Wii. Ronissov has in operation, at Mr. Sla
ter's work-shop, on Twiggs street, an invention of
his own, for cutting ataves, which will, no doubt,
effect a considerable revolution in that department
of business. He cuts and planes, from rough pie
ces of wood, about twenty-five barrel or hogshead
ataves in a minte, or one thousand five hundred in
an hour. Mr. R. is a cooper by trade, and knows
that he has achieved a great improvement in the
manufacture of barrels by his invention. We wish
hint much success.
Election Yesterday.
The election for County Officers yesterday, was
conducted with good order in the city, and at the
other precincts in the county, with the exception of
the unfortunate occurrence at Rel-Air.
All of the candidates of the American or Know
Nothing party were elected, as was expected. YY r e
will publish the official result to-morrow.
Unlortuuate Occurrence.
During breakfast, at Patrick Moore’s, about a
mile from Bel-Air, yesterday morning, a difficulty
occurred between a man by the name of Hkzekuh
Harris and Sam’l, and Henry McC/ iity, (father
and son), in which knives were freely used. Har
ris was so badly cut that but little hopes are enter
tained of his recovery. The two McCarty’s are
also very baldly cut. The parties are cousins,
and reside in Harrisburg, and originally from
Edgefield district. They were under the influence
of liquor.
Remembering the Poor.
W e mentioned a few days ago, that we were
pleased to notice the efforts of the charitable and
good, even if we had to read in other city papers
to find them. On Sunday last, we heard of some
thing in our own locality, that induced us to think
with Damas, that “ women are not so bad after all.”
On Sunday evening last, it was communicated to
a few ladies, that one of their own sex was in an
apparently friendless and helpless condition, in
the second ward of this city—and the mother of a
child but a few hours old. Some of the ladies de
sired to have a monopoly of this case—to do all
that could be done themselves—hut some others
heard of it, and we are pleased to state that the
good lady and her little babe are as comfortable
snd ‘‘as well ns could be expected.”
We are pleased to chronicle these acts of kind
ness and charity—to keep the spirit active and en
quiring—for there are, doubtless, many cases, in
this cold time, of suffering and want among the
poor. There may be some few who are unable to
oommunicate their wants, and we trnst that the
spirit of enquiry will go forth, and tarry not, in its
lleaven-blest mission.
Telegraph Lines.
We received yesterday morning the following
note from the indefatigable Telegraph operator in
this city:
8 o’clock, Jan. 7, 1850.
Mr. Gardner: I am happy to inform you that
our communication South, to Macon, Ae., is again
restored, and that every effort possible will he made
to be in working order North as early as possible.
Respectfully, J. A. Brenner.
We understand that the wires were down be
tween the Bath Paper Mill and Branchville, and
from Branchville to Kingsville, and that an effi
cient force were actively engaged in restoring them
to working order.
Cherokee Baptist College Destroyed by
Fire.
A friend in Cassville communicates to us the fol
lowing :
Cassvillb, Ha., Jan. 4, 1856.
Gardner, Erg :—The friends of education
generally, and of Cherokee Georgia in particular,
will be pained to learn that the Cherokee Baptist
College, located in this place, was entirely destroy
ed by fire this evening. The fire was first dis
covered and the alarm given about seven o’clock,
but the flames had made such progress, before our
our citizens could reach the spot, (it being about
three quarters of a mile from the business part of
the town), that it was useless to attempt to arrest
them.
This will be a severe loss, not only to our little
village, but the entire Cherokee country. The
building was nearly completed, and the College
was to have gone into operation on the first Wed
nesday in February. It was of brick ; the muin
building three stories in height, with two wings of
two stories each, and occupied a beautiful site,
within view of the whole village. When comple
ted, the cost would have been about $14,0“ ■ .aid
that amount had been raised by private subscrip
tion.
The tire originated in the north wing of the
building, having been communicated in some way
to the shavings which covered the floor. B.
Fire in Charleston.
The Charleston Courier, of 7th inst., says that a
fire occurred iu that city, on Sunday morning, on
Commercial Wharf, and about five hundred bales
Long Cottons were destroyed, and thirty or forty
barrels of Rice. The entire building was con
sumed. Loss from s7o,> 'o" to sßo,O' ". The build
ing belonged to the proprietors of the Commercial
Wharf.

The President’s Message.
We publish the following brief notices from
more extended articles, to show the manner in i
which diSc-rent sections of the country has received
the M.essage:
YVe cannot refrain from expressing our opinion •
that the President’s views on the Constitutional re- j
quirements in regard to slavery are correct; and j
his exposition of the origin of the State and Feder- |
al Governments, and of their relation and duties :
with reference to the Union, is one of the most j
masterly expositions of the theory of our govern- j
ment that has ever been put before the people, and j
we have no doubt that the large majority of the j
patriotic citizens of the Union will subscribe to it. j
—Aew Jersey Jacksonian. |
This document, although it has not yet been re- j
cognized by the Heuse of Representatives, and
has, therefore, not been made the subject of con- j
gressional action, has been disseminated through
out the country, and has already foxmedjthe basis j
of public opinion in regard to both our internal ;
and external affairs. The impression it has made :
has been, as far as we have been able to judge, not i
only favorable, but remarkable. YY r e do not think
that any public document within the last ten years j
has more impressed the general mind with its i
force, its originality, and its suitableness, than the i
message of President Pierce to this present Con- i
gress. —Charleston Murcury.
The Messaue.—We have not yet opened the first
newspaper from a distance that fails to approve
the action of the President in sending in to Con
gress his annual message without awaiting longer
for the organization of the House. However much
they differ in their appreciation of the points and
positions of the document itself, they all unite in
declaring its promulgation at this juncture, a thing
eminently' proper to nave been done.
[ Washington Evening Star.
We confess we are gratified that the President’s
message is before the world. The people, at least,
are informed of the state of the country. Now
let us see how long Congress will continue in a
state of disorganization.— Bichmond Daily Dis
patch, (Independent.)
The message is brief, written in a frank, un
adorned style, and should be generally read.—
Baltimore American, (Opposition.)
For lucid order, compact, concise and compre
hensive style, and for firmness and tenacity of pur
pose expressed with a modesty emanating from con
scious rectitude, this message is excelled by few'
Slate papers that have illustrated our annals.—
Bichmond Enquirer, (Administration.)
It is a well written, concise and forcible exposi
tion of the existing state of the country in its do
mestic and foreign relations, and will commend it
self to every reader by the clearness and complete
ness of its statements. — South Side Democrat, (Ad
ministration.!
It is an interesting and well-written paper, and
will be eagerly read by everybody.— Petersburg
Express, (Opposition.)
Its publication is a real boon to the country, as
it will relieve the public mind of the anxiety which
has been felt in respect to our foreign relations,
while its firm, pacific tone will tend to alley all ap
prehensions of serious difficulty with England or
any other foreign power.— N. V. Daily Times, (Op
position.)
We like the President’s views on the Danish
Sound dues. They are temperate as well as just.—
X. Commercial Advertiser. (Opposition.)
We lay it before our readers with the full convic
tion that no one will rise from its perusal with oth
er feelings than of pleasure and gratification. It is
clear, succinct, and eminently truthful, whilst its
whole tone and bearing is that of the pure patriot
and noble statesman.— N. Y. Day Book, (Adminis
tration.)
We defy any individual to read these portions of
the message, and not give credit to the Adminis
tration for a fair and conscientious performance of
its duty. With such honorable evidence of its
fairness and impartiality, it may stand up proudly
before the world, satisfied that its conduct will defy
calumny and defeat misrepresentation.— Phil. Led
ger, (Indepenpent.)
President Pierce at Home.
In looking over the New York Observer, a re
ligious paper, we find a brief sketch of “President
Pierce at home,” by a correspondent to that excel
lent weekly. It corrects some statements in regard
to the President which are commonly reported as
truth, and contains many items connected with
daily iife at the “White House,” which mav he of
interest to our readers. We copy most of the
letter:
The father of Franklin Pierce, the President of
the United States, held various offices of trust in
New Hampshire, after having earned honorable
distinction as an officer in the revolutionary war.
The President was born in 1804, is therefore, now
just past fifty years of age, the youngest of all our
Presidents, and the only one bom in the present
century. In the year of his attaining the age at
which a man is eligible to Congress, that of thirty,
he took his seat as a member of the House of Rep
resentatives, aud it is related of him that his ap
pearance was then so very youthful, that when
about to enter one of the Chambers, the door-keep
er intimated to him that only members were al
lowed to go in—and when he mentioned his right
to admission 011 that very ground, the suspicious
officer replied in pure American, “You can t come
that game over me-” In the House, his diffidence
and retiring disposition prevented hint from taking
a very active part in debate, while he was “rather
quick to hear and slow to speak.” At the age of
thirty-three, he was elected to the Senate, and in
this more calm and dignified body he rose rapidly
to distinction as a clear, practical’thinker, a ready
and able » e.iker, and u judicious statesman. Af
ter serving five years in the Senate, he resigned
his seat, and retired from public life with a full
purpose of spending the rest of his days in his
professional pursuits as a lawyer, and those social
and domestic enjoyments for which lie litis a high
er relish than for politics. He repeatedly refused
office in his native State, and turned his hack upon
the post of Attorney General of the United States,
and Secretary of War, both of which were
tendered him. It was a strong sense of
duty only that induced him to accept the ap
pointment of Brigadier-General in the army, du
ring the Mexican war, and when he returned’ front
that field he was resolved to seek and find his fu
ture occupations ouly in the private walks of life.
111 this determination he found the strongest en
couragement in the tastes aud wishes of Mrs.
Pierce, the daughter of the Rev. Dr. Appleton,
President of Bowdoin College. No man in the
country was more surprised that he himself, when
he was summoned front this retirement hv the Bal
timore Convention, and then by the vote of twenty
seven out of thirty-one States.'to the Chief Magis
tracy of the Union. During his brief career inihe
Senate, he had become personally well known to
some of the leading men from Virginia who were
members of the Convention, and when after more
than forty ballotings they were unable to agree
upon the conflicting claims of the candidates be
fore them. Yirgmia, the mother of Presidents, (not
to say the maker of them when she has no s< n of
her own available, ! led off in the nomination of
Mr. Pierce, and he was soon the choice of the
Convention, and afterwards of the people. His ac
cession to power was signalized by his offer of
place to the distinguished gentlemen whose claims
to the Presidency has been postponed. He drew
around him a Cabinet of seven men who have
stood by him from that moment to the present,
showing a degree of unity of counsel rarely
evinced in such exciting political struggles as this
Administration has passed through.
The Presidency of the United Stales is no sine
cure. It is an office that requires the most work of
any in the gift of the people. The genius of our in
stitutions exacts a personal responsibility on the
part of President, for all the details of his adminis
tration. It demands his indivttal cognizance of
more matters than it is possible for any one man
to attend to adequately and preserve his health four
years. If this could be done in the earlier davs of
the Republic, it is impossible now that our rela- 1
tious have become so numerous, vast, complicated
and conflicting. Here we do not adopt the English
maxim, “the kingjean do no wrong,” but we charge
all the blunders of ft weak or dull minister to the
Chief. f
Even for appointments and measures to which
the President can have given but little personal
attention, we hold him accountable, and we ha
rass him to the last extreme of endurance by in
sisting on his regulating the whole machinery of
foreign and domestic politics. If 1 remember
rightlv, Mr. Pierce has not obstructed the party
that placed him in office by the use of the reto pow
er, but lu- has sought to make himself so acquaint
ed with the legislative measures of Congress as to
be fairly responsible for all that has been done, as
much as any of his predecessors. One who is not
familiar with the routine of daily life at the Capi
tol, especially during the sessions of Congress, can
not be aware’ of tin- draught that is made upon the
physical and intellectual energies of the President.
1 am told by those who are near him that scarcolv
is an early breakfast finished before lie is sought
by persons who have come to the city to see him
"ii busin*Bi, and the hours that health requires him
to be in the air seeking exercise and relaxation, are
engrossed by distracting and often unwelcome
cat!*. Twice a week always, and ofrener when ex
igencies require it, hi* Cabinet meet at his house,
deyoting three hours, in the middle of the day, to
public affairs. Dinner follows, when in almost
daily succession, strangers of distinction and vi*i- ’
ter* at W ashington are entertained at hi* table.
The evening is not even his own, but calls of cere
mony and of business press upon him, not unfre
quently till near midnight. And this exhausting
process is continued with such consistent regulari
ty, that sometimes for a week together he has not 1
been able to escape from his own door I have
ceased to wonder that death so often invade* the
Presidential mansion, and that Mr. Van Buren i*
the only man living cut of it who was ever elected
to occupy it.
The President, however, hag one habit alreadv
well known to the people here, that serves as a
shield and help in this matter of labor. He is a
Sabbath-keeping man. On the Lord’s day, no
company is admitted on any pretext, and no busi
ness done except that which may fairlv come
under the head of necessity and mercy. The cler
gy of the city tell me that Mr. Pierce is a church
going man, invariably being in his seat on the
Sabbath, attending twice or three times a day, and
carrying his early New England habits and predi
lections so far as to take pleasure in an evening
religious meeting during the week, when he can
find refuge in such a spot from the cares of the
day. It is the misfortune of public men that their
private habits must be made the theme of remark,
and if the President were a man whose example
was bad, there would be many to proclaim it to
the world, and as his life and conversation are such
as the religious people of this country will rejoice
in, it seems to be not only a propriety, but a duty,
to say that social worship'!s maintained in his fam
ily by the President, and that the order of his
household is such as becomes the Chief Magistrate
of a Christian people. The gay w'orld, of course,
regret the want of those splendid balls and parties
which, in times past, made the YY’hite House the
head-quarters of pleasure, but the circumstances
of domestic sorrow, under which the present fami
ly came into the mansion, would forbid such scenes,
did not their tastes and sympathies suggest other
and more rational sources of enjoyment.
Once a week, on Tuesday from 12 to 2 o’clock, the
President and Mrs. Pierce receive their friends
and all who wish to be presented. I had the
pleasure of attending at the last reception, and
could not fail to contrast its simplicity with the
stately and impenetrable forms that surround the
Courts of Europe. Ladies with or without gentle
men, and strangers with no one to introduce them,
entered, and with their card or by mentioning
their names, announced themselves ; were received
with great courtesy, and placed at once at their
ease, to familiar conversation. A Quaker from
Philadelphia a gave a singular example of the te
nacity with which a friend’s hat adheres to his
head when another man’s would come off. He en
tered, and without taking off his hat walked
through the room, shook hands with the Presi
dent and Mrs. Pierce, then immediately turned
around, took oft’ his hat, and placed it on the cen
tre table. This was done with great deliberation,
and he then entered into conversation for a few
minutes, examined the works of art in the room,
put on his hat again, and shaking hands with his
hosts took his leave! Had he kept his hat on his
head all the time he was in the room, it would
have appeared to be a conformity to the customs
of his sect, and would not have excited remarks;
but that he should wear his hat when saluting a
gentleman and lady, ’hen take It off, and resume
it again fora parting salutation, was a breach of
] good manners which, 1 presume, the religion of
the friends does not require. Still, if his con
science forbids him to conform to the usual cus
toms of society in this regard. I have no fault to
find with him ; but if my conscience was so soft
about the head, I would not go where it is the hab
it of gentlemen to uncover.
The temperance people will be glad to know that
the President of the United States is a total absti
nence man in principle and practice. Gentlemen,
who have dined with him frequently, assure me
that he does not drink wine, nor anything but pure
cold water, and this has been his custom for mnnv
years. It is so difficult to get at the truth on such
a point, and such opposite statements have been
made, that I am pleased to he able to sav this of
the President, on the best of authority. Gen. Cass
has been a temperance man all his ‘life, and the
hale and vigorous constitution he now possesses at
seventy-three, shows that strong drink is not neces
sary to make or keep a man strong.
All that 1 have said of the President might with
equal propriety be said by his political friend or
opponent, and I would not wish to make your col
umns the vehicle of opinions or statements that
! might be regarded as having a political bearing.
| Put public men are public property, and as their
I example when evil is widely evil," so when it is
good tlie friends of religion, of sobriety, and vir
| tue ought to hold it up to public imitation. For
| one, I bless God that we have a President who
1 honors God in his family, at his table, on the Sab
j hath day, and so far as I know, in all the relations
: and duties of private, social, and public life.
Fuller’s Telegraphic Computer.
In the absence of time to write any thing on the
subject, we copy the following. It is an apparatus,
we should think, that would be very acceptable in
every Merchants counting room:
From, the Washington paper, of Dere ruber 17.
Tiik Calculating Machine.— VVe used to think it
was a jest—the idea of a calculating machine; but
we have seen it and its ingenious proprietor, Mr.
Fuller. The rapidity and accuracy with which all
business problems are solved.is truly surprising. It
needs only to be seen to be admired. Although an
American invention, it has been extensively sold in
England, France,|<Jermanv and Holland. Upwards
of thirty of the principal ’London bankers have it
in use. It computes interest, at every possible rate
per cent., upon any sum of money, for anv length
of time, both at three hundred and sixty and three
hundred and sixty-five days to the year, and has a
most perfect time-telegraph to compute the number
of days any note has to run. To work equations
ot payments, or average of accounts, is one of its
conveniences. Copies have been purchased in
\\ Arlington by all the departments, for use in the
public offices, as well as by the principal bankers,
merchants and mechanics. Less time is required
to obtain an answer to any business question than
to prepare the statement. Full printed directions
accompany the work, his learned by one or two
hours’ study and practice. It occupied a promi
nent place in the Crystal Palace.
In response to some questions yesterday, he
stated in less time than the questions could be pre
pared or the answers recorded, that the Rotunda of
the Capitol, being 90 feet in diameter, would con
tain 8,830 persons, and allow each square feet,
or is by Is inches. The Crystal Palace, he said’
being 1,851 feet long, and 400 wide, with an addi
tional acre to the transept or centre, measures is
acres, and would contain at the same rate 847,000
persons upon the ground. The population of the
globe, being estimated at 900,000,000, could stand
upon forty square miles, or an area of six and
83-10') miles square.
If 900,000,000 persons pass away'every thirty
years, aud the world should he 6,000 years old, this
would he equal to 200 times 900,000,000. Thus the
entire number of persons would have standing
room on 20" times 40 square miles, or 8000 square
miles ot land, or a trine less than ninety miles
square.
If 9u0,000,000 die every thirty years, in one year
50,('00,t".'0 die. If 30, 000, 000 die in 365 days, in
one day 82,""" die. If in 24 hours 82,000 die" how
many per hour ?—Answer 3,420. If in 60 minutes
this number die, how many per minute ? Answer
fifty-seven.
The expense of the United States House of Rep
resentatives at $6 per day, amounts to $1,944. The
salary of the President is per day. The pen
sions of the late Queen Adelaide, was £IOO,OOO per
annum, equal to $1,325 per day.
At a meeting ot the stockholders and creditors
of the Ohio and Mississppi Railroad, held in Oincin-
I nati on Monday, resolutions were adopted to the
i effect, that in order to save to the city the sum of
soo*l,ooo invested by it in the road, the stoeholders
, should subscribe $500,000, the bondholders $500,-
000, and the city the balance that would be neces
j sary to enable it to take charge of and complete
the road, and, after reimbursing herself, return
the road to the stockholders.
The Bangor Journal states that on Thursday
Marshal Farnham seized some four or five thousand
gallons of liquor, which the former Receiver had
accumulated during his official career, and recent
ly removed to a store in Exchange street, where it
was supposed he wa s disposing of them on his
1 private account. He made no settlement with the
city, and on Christmas morning left the city with
his family, as is supposed for good.
Wm. 11. Gboesbkcjs has presented a memorial to

NOTICE TO GOLD MINERS.
flfl 11E subscriber offers bis LAND for
JL sale, lying in the county of Oglethorpe,
and State of Georgia, about five' miles from tile
Athens Branch of me Georgia Railroad, seven miles
from Woodville Depot, containing Four Hundred
and Fifty Acres. There is on the place, two as rich
and valuable GOLD MINES ns there is in the State,
or between this and California. These Mine 3 were
worked some ten or twelve years ago, on a small
scale, bv Dr. Bacon, and proved to be very valua
ble. There is on the Land about One Hundred and
Seventy-five Acres of \\ oodland, well timbered;
the balance second growth, well timbered with
Fine, with about sixty or seventy acres of low
grounds, as rich as any low grounds in the country.
This Laud is well watered with good Springs, with
a Creek, called Sil’s fork of Little River, running
through the land. The largest part of this land
has been turned out about thirty-five or forty years.
My price for this Laud and Gold Mines is Twelve
Thousand Dollars, half cash ; the balance on a
credit of one, two and three years, with a lien on
the Land. There has been a dispute about the
rights and titles to tins Land, for some number of
years, but at die last term of October Superior
Court of Oglethorpe county, it was decided that
the Land belongs to this horse.
1 have two reasons why 1 offer this sacrifice: One
reason is, I am a poor man, with a house full of
children, and not able to work the Mines as they
ought 10 be worked ; the other reason is, I wish to
sell out, and move to Texas. Come, men, that are
judges of Gold Mining business, and examine for
yourselves, for now is the time to make a great bar
gain. ETHELDRED DRAKE.
