CJje Dailtj Cnnstitatinnalist. BY JAMES GARDNER. TUESDAY MORNING, JAN’Y. 8. River News. The river has receded to ten feet by the mark. Steamer Talomicco leaves to-dav. The Chatham arrived on Sunday afternoon. Washburn’s Circus. l’hia company perform to-night, and from die favorable notices we have received of their enter tainments in other places, we presume they will 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. We uotice statements, which seem to be authen tic, that Mr. Champ-ton, the British Minister, will be re-called or transferred to some other diplomat ic station. Sir Gorr Ouslt is the reputed succes sor. From Tier's Island.— Advices from Turk's Island to the 17th ult. state that salt was verv scarce and high. None to be had either at Grand Turk or East Carons. The last cargo was gold at thirty-eight cents per bushel. South Carolina has enacted a law granting an annual appropriation of $5,n00 to the State Agri cultural Society. ilr. John Anderson, a merchant, died in Dalton on the 2nd inst. Mr. George W. Cooper, of Ogeehee, Ga., has ob tained a patent for an improvement in ploughs. Thackeray is expected in Charleston about the Ist of February. We will probably hare a visit from the Lecturer, up here. A fire occurred on the 4th inst., in a room in At lanta, occupied by Mr. Jones, as a Jewelry -tore loss trifling. Several appaling scenes of murder, assaults and robberies, were perpetrated in Xew York, during the day and night of Xew Years. The population there are accustomed to such things, and care but little about them. (Israel Adams, the engineer who has been on trial for the slaughter on the Camden and Amboy Railroad, has been acquitted. The United States Treasury- statement reports $22,763,700, subject to draft in the several Tree»u --i las, on the 34th Dec , 1866. 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 the New York Senate, asking for a divorce from his wife. Ho says that they have been separated , seventeen years, and the lady pertinaciously refuses to return to him. He is certainly entitled to a clearance. Eclipses Dl ring 1858 —There will be two eclipses |of the Sun, and two of the Moon, this year. A total eclipse of the Sun will take place on the sth I of April, and an annular eclipse on the 23th of September, both invisible here. There will be a partial eclipse of the Moon on the 20th of April, which will be visible early in the morning, and a : similar eclipse on the 13th of October, also visible j in the evening. A good anecdote is told of one of the Chippewa Indians now at the North. He was asked why In- j dians did not copv the dress of our people. He replied: “Me thinks we started your fashions'; your men now wear blankets, as we do, and your women paint their faces and wear feathers !" Advices from Demerara. to Dec. 2d, have been received in this country, which state that the health of the people is uncommonly good and the - ! weather very dry; had no rain of consequence for j twelve month*.

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. Reference* —Col, Charles B. l.ightner, D.
