We have received a Catalogue, in neat pamphlet form, of Southern raised fruit trees, select roses and shrubs, cultivated and for sale by F. A. Mauge, at his Nursery iu this city. His collection of fruit trees, of European aud American varieties, is large and varied, liis stock of roses is about 12,000, witli 45u varieties; being, perhaps, the largest col lection to be found at any Nursery iu the South, aud scarcelv excelled in the Union. His assortment of deciduous trees and shrubs, green house plauts, hardv evergreens, aud bulbous-rooted flowers is very select, and ottered at moderate prices. Every year, Northern speculators in Nursery pro ducts travel through the South, with their unaccli inated fruit trees, rose bushes, Ac , and a great por tion of their commodities are uncertain of culture, and frequently misrepresented in name. It is agreeable to know that Southern Nurserymen are fullv prepared to supply every Southern demand. In our own locality, Mrs. Tobin, Mr. Redmond, aud Mr. Bessman, haue choice and extensive col lections, while in other sections of Georgia there are valued Nurseries. Knights of the Quill.

The Lake Superior Miner reports the forma tion of a railroad company, to be called the Lake Superior and South East Railroad Company. •'A Member,” certainly does not take or read the newspapers. The notice for the meeting, to which he refers, was published in both of the city papers. We make this statement with the hope of collect ing anv wrong impression on his mind. His com munication is inadmissible, because he has not fur nished us his name. Savannah Items. We clip the following from the Savannah papers of yesterday: We learn that the store of Mr. J. Rosenband, on Bryan street, was entered Sunday night, through a back window, ami robbed of goods to the amount of three hundred dollars. The steamer Planter, MoNeltv, from Centreville, brought from St. Catherine's Island the captain and crew of the ship Buena Vista, which went ashore Tuesday last, loaded with salt, consigned to Messrs. Brigham, Kelly A Co., Savannah. Mr. C. A. L. Lamar, having resigned the agency here of the Philadelphia and Savannah steamship line, we are glad to learn that Mr. Chas. A. Grein er, a well-known shipping merchant, has beeu ap pointed to succeed him.

Reynolds, deceased We are gratified to learn that Montgomery Cum ming, Esq., has been elected Chief Engineer of the Savannah Fire Department. There were two thousand one hundred and twen ty-two votes polled in Savannah, for county officers on Monday. The Bark Resolute. We give our readers in the extracts below some very interesting facts connected with that vessel, lately discovered in the Arctic ocean by an Ameri can whaler. The Resolute was sent out by the British government a second time, in 1851, in ' search of Sir John- Franklin, under the command of Capt. Austin-, and she must have been abandon ed in 1853. From the New Haven Palladium, we gather the following information in regard to the Resolute: TUE RESOLUTE WHEN BOARDED. It will be remembered that Mr. Quale, the mate and three men boarded the Resolute for the first time, September 17th. The ice round her was from twenty-fire to thirty feet thick. Getting on deck, they found everything stowed away in proper order for desertion—spars hurled up to one side and bound, boats piled together, covering snow sleds, hatches closed, Ac., Ac. Everything was silent in the cabin, but they broke in tile hatchway door, and felt their wav in darkness to the table. On it they found matches and candles, and the de canters of the officers, with excellent liquor in them, glasses standing round, just as they had been left so many months before. A dry mould had gathered over everything. The iron water tanks had burst from extreme cold, and the water they held had flowed over the bottom of the hold. Everything between decks was covered with moisture. A sort of perspiration had risen from the water beneath, and settled above. Many articles of clothing were found wringing wet. The party made a fire in the cabin, and soon found the mould dripping down upon them. ON BOARD OF THE RESOLUTE. On boarding the ship, the first impression is one of admiration at the massive strength of everv thing connected with her build. On the windlass of the vessel, in large letters is cut the injunction, “ England expects every man to do his duty’ Indeed, everything has been kept as undisturb ed as possible throughout, siuee her first discovert in September. Almost everything of a perishable nature is en tirely ruined, as the reader will see hereafter. Glue has dropped out of locker joints, all arising from the dampness consequent on imprisonment for so long a time in that climate, with so much water in the hold. The hammocks are all ruined. A cover was thrown off the forecastle hatch, yesterday and everything in it was covered with rust and mould. I Going below we entered first. THE CABIN. This was, of course the captain’s room, and it is fitted up in the substantial manner of English na vy vessels. In two places in the room are cabinets filled with valuable books. It is estimated that there are even now about two thousand volumes, all standard reading, on board. We noticed a full set of liee’s Encyclopedia, Agnes Strickland's Lives of the Queens of England, Shakspeare, several volumes, Ac., Ac. Here we saw the log of the vessel from the Ist of September, 1843, to April 22d, 1854. We copy one entry as follows: “ 11. M. S. ‘ Resolute,’ 17th January, 1854. 2 a. m. mustered by Divisions. People taking exercise on deck. 5 p. m. Mereurv frozen.” The book in which these records were kept was quite musty not to say mouldy. Others in the ca bin were in a very ’ good state. But we saw fine books all over the ship covered with mould so thickly as to be disagreeably handled. One of them which we took up was a Bible, aud on the fly leaf, the ink turned by the lapse of time and dampness, was written: I VUliam Abraham Surry—With John Dalton's best wishes. In the cabin we found books of family prayers, books with forms of prayers specially prepared by the Church of England for this expedition; a Pil grim’s Progress, with Master G. Bell’s name in it; a copy of “ The Christian Visitor,” with the auto graph inscription of Capt. Kellet’ sister, bv whom •it was presented to him. The china-ware, which we found in the closet here, with decanters filled with the choicest liquors, of very heavy and costly style. The castors were covered with mould. Di rectly below the cabin is TIIE MAGAZINE. Here are stored shot and shell: hand-grenades, rockets, Ac., aud three thousand to four thousand pounds powder, which is still in good condition. The Resolute is rated on her own books as having two guns. We passed to the WARD ROOM, OCCUPIED BY OFFICERS. Here the State-rooms were almost wet with damp, and the smell was hardly tolerable. Overhead the paint is peeling off from the planking. The finish of these rooms was evidently of the first order. We came then to A SORT OF PROVISION ROOM. Occupied in part by petty officers of the vessel. On one side were the State-rooms, and here were mattresses thoroughly penetrated with dampness, clothing of excellent quality, English pilot cloth Jackets, Ac., Ac., piled in confusion, all ruined. Here were two or three musket racks, with the muskets some twenty or thirty, standing in them, rusted so that it would cost iis much to put them in trim as to buy new ones. On the side opposite tlie State-rooms are store-rooms for rations of su gar and other provisions. We found these, as well as everything else, damp and smelling of mould. Tiie lockers here were so swelled that we were uuable to open many of them. The next apart ment we entered seemed to be the. carpenter’s and smith’s room. Here was a work-bench with tools of all sorts on it, the vises so rusted as to make it impossible to turn them. Here, too, were four force pumps, with facilities for attaching hose and throwing water to any portion of the ship. It takes six men on each brake to work them to advantage. Near them was the galley for cooking, and clo sets with culinary implements. Tea kettles, japan ned sauce-pans, etc., have all suffered greatly from the rust and cracks, induced by the cold, the ja panning being all off'. Here the last damage has been done by deck leaks badly, all around the bull’s eyes and hatches. Here extra oars are tied up above, and here too we found a complete car riage, iu pieces, of every substantial build. It is not probable that the oars have been moved since they were put aboard the vessel in England, in ’52. In a pantry here, we saw a half-consumed package of pork ; put up in air-tight tin boxes, on which the mould must have been a quarter of an inch think. Here we found also two kettles of “slush,” which is the skimmings from the pots after boiling beef and pork, standing just as Capt. Buddington’s crew found them. The “slush” doesn’t seem to be injured. We next come to what Capt. Harrow calls THE DOCTOR S ROOM. He is undoubtedly right in his assertion. It is the most forward room in all the yessel, being di rectly under the ship’s bows. At one end is a rack with vials and jars of all kinds of medicine, most of them hermetically sealed, and undoubtedly as good or bad as ever. Here on the floor, too, is an open box of codfish, excellently preserved. Be sides these things, we noticed a bathing tub, the surgeon’s table, which swings up to the side of the apartment, and suggests no very pleasant reflec tions, and ice saws, together with a cylinder stove fairly crusted with rust. THE RESOLUTE'S HOLD. We did not go into it. No one has since its arri val, and as it was dark, and lights would be re quired, which might endanger the magazine, it was not deemed safe. Here were stored, however, all the prepared provisions, such as meat of even kind, in tin cases, Ac., Ac. Preparations of food for the Arctic regions, has, we are aware, beeu a distinct branch of bakery trade in London, since Sir John Franklin’s last departure, and we have a little jar of “Onion Powder, prepared by Fortnum, Mason A Co., Picadilly, London,’’ which we brought away from the vessel, that we have no doubt will prove as fresh as if made from last season’s crop at Weathersfield. Here, too, are stored enormous quantities of sails, rigging, Ac. The sails are of linen, and we may as well mention here that the Resolute was brought to port with a set of sails in part, that had been bent on her standing rigging probably for two years, most of the time furled. Some idea of the “preserving” qualities of Arctic atmosphere can be obtained from this fact. WHERE, WHEN, WHY, THE RESOLUTE WAS ABANDONED. Capt. Buddington and his men think that when discovered, the vessel had drifted one thousand four hundred miles after abandonment, pretty nearly to the S. W„ and judge that she was aban doned about eighteen months before discovery. Capt. B. and the other officers are unanimously of tlie opinion that the English officers were justified in abandoning her. Thev were in solid ice, one hundred and fifty miles in extent in every direc tion, and their provisions would not have lasted them to have got her out. WHAT IS TO BE DONE V, ITII HER. The Resolute is a legal prize, if not claimed by Great Britain. Application has been made to Her Majesty’s Consul at New York, and the owners of the George Henry are awaiting his answer. The news of her discovery and seizure had been carried to England by English whalemen, who spoke her, and it was probably known there before she ar rived in New London. More than a year ago, the English government advertised That they still claimed all their forsaken vessels in the "Arctic seas. Should they be entitled to this, however, they must pay an enormous salvage, nearly equal to the worth of the vessel, about |styjoo, "Os this, about two-thirds would go to the owners of the George Henry, and the remainder be distributed among the officers and crew. The rush of merchandize towards the public stores, particularly of dry goods, says the New York Express, is verv large; and, judging from ap pearauees at the custom house, importers are an ticipating a trade the coming season far ex ceeding anything the past has known. Con sumers in the West were never more able to purchase than at present, and the importers have not in probability over estimated the wants of tba country Poland has just been bereaved of one who held a high place in her literature as well as in her struggles for freedom. Adam Mickiewicz died at Constantinople, about the last of November, at the age of 57. His name was conspicuous among the patriots of Europe. He was born in Lithuania, and received his education at the University of WMna. OBITUARY. Died, in Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 27th, after an illness of eighteen days, Hon. Nathaniel Holt Clanton, of Macon Co., Ala. He was born in Co lumbia county, Ga., in 1802, whence he removed to Harris county in 1833, and thence to his late resi dence, in 1836. He was twice married, his first wife, a woman of great moral courage, died in 1842, and in 1814 he married a most estimable lady, his present disconsolate widow. At the time of his death he was in attendance upon the Alabama Le gislature, as the Senator from Macon county. It ! was not thought by any but himself, that he was dangerously ill, until a day or two before his death, when his family was suddenly summoned to his dying chamber. His distressed wife reminding him that she had besought him not to take his seat in the Senate until his health was improved; he replied, “ I knew I was not well, but 1 felt like being at my post.” The following brief extracts from the tributes of respect paid to the memory of the deceased, in both branches of the Legislature, upon the announcement of his death, will indicate the excellence of his character and the greatness of our loss. Senator Patton, of Lauderdale, said, “ I was well acquainted with the deceased—he was a man of noble qualities, a good citizen, a faithful Senator, and a consistent Christian; and it is pleas ing to reflect, that amid the cares and duties of life he did not neglect the great work of making prepa ration for the solemn transit from time to eternity. His family lias lost an affectionate husband and fattier, the Senate one of its most prominent and distinguished members, and the community in which he lived a favorite and valuable representa tive.” “ All who knew him,” said Mr. Taylor, of Greene, “ respected him for his virtues, and ad mired him for the useful combinations of his prac tical and vigorous character.” Mr. Baker, of Rus sell, said, “ from an acquaintance long and cordi ally maintained, I can with propriety sav to the Senate, the deceased was in all respects an estima ble citizen, a high-toned gentleman, an able, dili gent and valuable Senator, and, above all, I may truthfully say, he was a Christian. In all his inter course with his fellow men he was amiable, kind aud forbearing. He died as he had lived—an hon est man.” Mr. Kemball, of Tallapoosa, said, “ I made his acquaintance in 1527, about which time he attached himself to the Methodist Episcopal Church. Since then, he has been one of her bright est ornaments. He has raised and educated his children well. (I add, one of them represented Montgomery in the same Legislature.) All Macon county will mourn this irreparable bereavement, and not be comforted.” lti the House of Represen tatives, the Hon. Mr. Belser addressed the Chair most feelingly, as follows: “ The deceased was a man of strong, practical sense, a kind husband, a devoted father, a firm friend, a humane master, and his habitation was the resting place of the stranger and sojourner. I was with him in some of the last hours of his illness, and never before have 1 seen manifested by any individual more firmness of pur pose in the trying hour of death. His parting ad monitions to liis wife and children, can never be forgotten by those who listened to them. They were delivered with calmness, with a fervency of tlio purest kind, and his last message to his slaves was peculiarly affecting. He is now beyond the reach of human impurity, communing, we trust, with the honored dead who live in unperishable j records, and associated with the just made perfect.” | Both Houses expressed, by resolutions, their sor row for the loss sustained by the Legislature, offer ! ed their sincere condolence with the family of the I deceased in their irreparable loss, voted to wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days, and in respect for the memory of the deceased, immedi ately adjourned until the next day. To this just tribute to the excellence of Bro. C. by his fellow legislators, 1 add a brief portraiture of his Method ism. He was a most efficient class leader in the Medthodist Church, and deeply loved her doctrines and usages. The love-feast was a precious privi lege to him, and there he never failed to tesiifv with fervent piety what the Lord had done ; Camp meetings were his delight—the opportunity he there enjoyed of spreading his hospitable board for the entertainment of the hundreds who assembled to worship God, was well improved by him. He was blessed with a voice of great power aud mel ody, and with a heart to rejoice greatly in singing praises to Almighty God ; and, therefore, at the home altar, in the house of God, and at protracted Camp-meetings, he loved to pour forth with a fer vid spirit, in Christian simplicity, and in unceasing strains the holy songs of Zion, 1 doubt not that hundreds have felt the blessed influence of the songs of the Lord as they burst forth with sweet ness from liis lips. lie was one of those rare men who, uniting commanding dignity with a holy fer vor of spirit, a sound judgment, and untiring zeal, j are richly qualified to lead the people of God in i prayer aiid praise what time they strive together : for refreshings from on high, and for the salvation j of sinners, and to point tenderly and judiciously j the weeping mourner to the Saviour. The spirit ! uallv-minded who hoard his fervent wrestlings for j the Spirit of God and of power, felt their souls ir j resistably drawn to him, and were seized with a i like and fervid desire for the salvation of God. His : anxiety for the salvation of his children, his kindred ! and his servants, could not contain itself—it was j freely and frequently expressed to liis brethren. I The important duty of securing religious instruc ! tion for his servants, and of seeing that holy influ ; ences only should surround them, entered into all j his domestic arrangements. Moving, as he did, in j the highest circles of the land, yet the glare of j fashion, the pride of wealth, the pomp of glorious I circumstances, with the honors heaped upon him j by his fellow-citizens, could not move him from his j steadfast purpose to acknowledge himse'.i' every where as a meek disciple of Christ; this he re j garded as his highest honor. Brother Clanton was ; a man of great moral nerve, untiring energy, ad mirable self-possession, wonderful clearness of in i tellect, and transparent guilelessness; with a warm | heart capable of fast friendship, full of tender sen j sibilities, and of unbounded hospitality. His piety * was of the most cheerful cast—it was the Worship of joy, rather than of sorrow; and though in com mon with liis race, he had drunk deeply the cup of affliction, yet liis well-balanced mind, aided by di vine grace, enabled him ever to look upon the bright side of things, and to draw thence such con solation that lie could cry out with Job in his dis tresses, “ blessed be the name of the Lord.” In his last illness, he frequently sought to be alone, that he might more freely commune with his God. On the day before his death, he mentioned to Rev. Mr. Blue, of Montgomery, his regret that illness had debarred him the privilege of worshipping with God’s people in that city ; but expressed his calm trust, in God, and repeated the 23d Psalm, “ Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me : thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” l’ossessed of all that could make life desirable, yet as his end j drew nigh, with firm tread he descended into the j valley of the shadow of death; brighter and still brighter grew his faith ; he spoke, as his son re j marked, as if inspired with the eloquence of eter ; nity. With unclouded intellect, he closed his * earthly business, and tenderly took farewell of his t anguish stricken wife and children, with godlv a4- j monitions and exhortations, and commended liis \ tender ones to the care of their Infinite Father, lie ; left pious messages for a much loved brother in ! Georgia, and for friends and servants.* To a broth ; er with whom he had often taken sweet counsel, he i said, “ I do not fear to die; f am a sinner saved I by grace. Tell my Tuskegee brethren to meet me in Heaven;” and then fell asleep in Jesus. We ! could but feel, when the sad news of his death | reached us, that it was appropriate to exclaim, ; “ How is the beauty of Israel slain in his high I places.” Would to God that liis spirit may rest t upon his children; and that the Holy One may ! soothe the anguish of the stricken ones.
