BY JAMES GARDNER.
M NDAY MORNING, JAIf’Y. 'it.
The River
Is in good boating order, and in more danger, at
this time, of freezing over, than of being unnavi
gable.
Rold Robbery.
\ esierdav morning, atioul day light, some per
son took from the rack below the Lower Market
House, in this city, a horse and buggy, belonging
to Mr. F. T. Morgan. The horse was a eorrel-
I'oan, about live years old, with white ancles; and
the buggy was a light running vehicle, painted
black, and the harness silver mounted.

Theatre.
We must not forget that Concert Hall will be
opened on Monday night, and that Mr. V 11.
Cueisp's corps, with Miss Logan, Mrs. oiirisp and
others, appear on that occasion.
The Weather.
There hue been so many fantastic freaks of the
weather recently, that we are getting lined to them,
and look with as much coniidence for rain, or snow,
or sleet, or a grand conglomeration of all, as we
did for dry weather last fall. Yesterday it sleeted
all day, in rather a small way, but about night-fall
there was a decided acceleration to the descend
ing icy pebbles. Walking on the pavement was
performed yesterday with care, and several ordi
narily sure-footed pedestrians were seen slipping
and adopting various expedients in locomotion to
avoid a fall. The weather was cold, the walks
were slippery, and it was altogether a very unfa
ruble day for out door business oramusements.
Last night, when we put our paper to {tress, the
sleet was about two inches deep in the street
Fire iu Waynesboro’.
\\’e are indebted to a friend for the accompany
ing statement of the fire at Waynesboro’:
Waynesboro’, Ga., dan. 25, 1356.
Jas. Gardner, Esq. — Dear Sir: The town of I
Waynesboro' presents a novel appearauee to-day.
Last night about twelve, SI., our Court House was j
discovered to be on lire. It was burned down, and j
the great mass of the Court papers destroyed.
The Sheriff’* office, and the Ordinary’s were in the j
lower story of the Court House, and with some ex
ceptions, ail shared the same fate.
The lirm of Gray <fc Buford's store and dwelling i
house were destroyed. Also, the law offices of
Berrien A Joxf.s, Jones A St urges, and Miller A
Mandell. lam happy to inform you my own of- 1
lice escaped. The injury done to these gentlemen i
by the fire is very great. I cannot as yet sav the to- |
til loss sustained by the fire, but several thousand ;
dollars will have to be counted. The residence oi j
Mr. Gray, Postmaster, was insured for fifteen hun- |
died dollars, but it does not begin to cover the los.~ 1
of the building. Every effort was made to subdue j
the firerv element in its course, by our citizens, j
wiio were present. Great credit is due Mr. Clarke, :
who is now her.j building our new fire-proof bouse ,
for the records. Also, to Mr. Broom and Mr. Fos
ter. It was only with the utmost endeavors that 1
the entire town was not consumed.
When I write again, I will give you the amount 1
of losses, Ac. Yours, Ac. J. B. U.

this office.
Milledgeville Hotel, ) I
Jan. 25, 1656. f
This splendid hotel came near being destroyed ;
bv fire to-day. It originated between the ceiling, j
owing to one of tiie flues. It had made considera
ble head-wav before discovery, and being very dit- |
fieuli of access, would not have been subdued bu( ;
for ibe opportune aid of Mr. Dodge, of New York, (
who is stopping here, and who came forward with j
his uew “ suction and force pumps,” and soon sue- j
eeeded in throwing the water where "it ought to ;
go,” which soon brought the fire to terms.
This is one of the hotels where a man gets at- i
tended to all over, from head to foot, and from '
the drawing-room to ihe bed chamber. A gentle- ‘
man will soon learn here what it means to have ■
things done up Brown.
There was quite an animated contest in |
electing Constables, in the Lower Ward, yesterday.
The battle was exclusively among the Know Noth
ings, and they fought it out, vote after vote, until
office found the men.” There were one hundred
and twelve votes polled—Jos. B. Ramsey got one j
hundred und seven ; Jus. M. Sueliing, fifty-one ; j
Thos. Dagnal forty-seven. The two first were j
elected.
We understand there was an election yesterday, -
for Constable, in the Fourth V* ard, —when both j
parties had their candidates—and the “ Know !
Nothing ” was not elected.
A few days since, in the Third Ward, there was I
an election for Constables, and only thirteen votes
polled— which resulted in the election of one K.
V. and one Anti.
14 "Mr. Edward M. Burton, of Washington,
Wilkes count v, has been elected cashier of the
Branch Bank of Alabama, at Montgomery.
We see it stated, that Mr. Buchanan will re
linguish his mission to England on the 12th of
February. _
The Jasper Greenn give a grand military
and Civic Ball in Savannah on the 22d February.
The Bachelors of Savannah, give a ball at
St. Andrew's Hall, on the 20th inst.
Effe-' rof a Non-Organization.—lt is stated
that the Secretary of the Treasury has decided that
Mr. Forsky is Clerk only for limited purposes.
He has. therefore, refused to recognize his requisi
tion for funds to pay the officers of the House, oth
er than the clerks employed immediately under !
himself. The Sergeant-at-Arms, Door-Keeper and
Postmaster, employing iu their various offices
nearly one hundred and fifr. persons, have re
ceived no pay siuce the beginning of the session,
and will receive none until the House shall oi
ganize.
Tongue Frozen Fast. Iu Cincinnati, on the
loth, one bar induced another to put his tongu
against a tinted iron lamp post—the thermometer
at the time indicating a temperature tar below
zero. Tne tongue stuck fast, of course, and the
poor boy suffered great agony. Several passers
endeavored to release him, but in vain. Matters
were in this situation for over five minutes, when
a gentleman named Taylor went into the Tele
graph House and brought some hot water and
whisky, with which he bathed the tongue of the
suffering boy, finally liberating about one hall,
leaving the other slicking to the post, w here it re
mained for the balance of the day, a warning to
youngsters how they recklessly lick cold iron in
freezing weather. The luckless boy was taken to
his home in extreme agony.
Commodore Vanderbilt has prepared a state
ment urging Congress to favor his proposition to
transport the mails between New York and Eu
rope twice a month. The compensation asked is
£16,63 !l the round trip, and it is proposed by Mr.
Vanderbilt that this shall cease whenever Con
gress shall adopt the policy of withholding gov
ernment patronage in all its forms from steamships
traversing the Atlantic.
Mr. Bigler has written to Mr. M Kinley, of
Harrisburg, stating that for many years past he
has been the open advocate of Mr. Buchanan for
the next Presidential nomination. Mr. Bigler adds
that it is his intention, when at Washington City,
in the capacity of a Senator, to promote the nomi
nation of this statesman by every proper means,
and he will, *o the same extent, aid his election,
should he become the nominee.
It is stated that the Queen of England would
not see her maid of honor. Miss Murray, upon her
return from the United States, and signified to her
that if she published a defence of slavery she must
re cigu her place. Miss Murry has done so, and is
no logger a member of the royal household.
Notwithstanding the continued hard times, we
observe, by the New York papers, that the dry
go ids trade has been unusually n?3 T J of * ate -
Tne sales of one house In a single day amount
to more thau the transactions of the whole month
of January last; and the impression i* entertained
that the Spring business will be heavy.
Z'-dT* A post office has been established at High
Point, Walker county, Ga., and David B. Dickey
appointed postmaster.
The office at Anderson, Sumter countv, has been
changed to Andersonville.

Hie only English poet who attained an age of
nearly equal duration with that attained by Mr.
Rogers, was the poet Walker. He sat as a mem
ber of Parliament in the reign of James I. He
was a member of the celebrated Long Parliament 1
jof Charles l. He sung the panegyric of Oliver i
Cromwell, and celebrated the restoration of
j Charles 11. He was alive at the coronation of
1 King James II; and, if his life had been spared
beyond another year, would have w itnessed the ab
dication of James and accession of William and
Mary.
We have been favored, says the Wilmington
j Herald, by one of the merchants of our city with
a copy of an Act of the Parliament of England,
i passed 14tli August, 1855, to amend the law relat
ing to bills of lading, which may be of interest
and importance to our mercantile community.
< This provides that the rights and liabilities of con
signees and endorsers of bills of lading shall be
; the same on those of the original parties to the
contract, not so, however, as to affect the right of
stoppage in transitu, and the bill of lading will be
1 j conclusive evidence of the shipment against the
i | master.
No Peaches Next Summer. —At a meeting of the
Alton, New Hampshire, Horticultural Society, on
, Saturday last it was stated by Dr. Hall, and others
, confirming the statement, that on examination of
j the fruit buds of peach trees in that vicinity, it
. | had been found that the recent severe cold weath-
I er has destroyed the promise of a yield of this
luscious fruit the coming season.
The Louisville Journal says “the peaches are all
( .tilled, and it is likely that the apricots, plums and
■berries have shared the same fate.”
| Heavy Trains.—The transportation trains on
he Camden and Amboy Railroad are said to be
| unusually heavy this winter. A train leaves Cam
j Jen almost every hour of the day, with some twen
! ?y and thirty ears in each.
The Savannah Ninos, of 26th says : “We ab
serve that the city authorities have been removing
; the posts from the entrances to the squares, a
measure rendered necessary, we presume, bv the
prevailing fashion of wearing hoops.
West Point and LaFaykttb.—The citizens of
LaFayette, Ala., have recently been making a de
monstration in favor of the extension of ilieAtlan
j la and LaGrauge Railroad to their town, wtith a
view, probably, to its future extension to Tallade
ga or the Tennessee river. They subscribed the
amount required by their charter, $50,000, and
elected a strong and energetic Board of Directors.
There are already in Russia six thousand miles
of telegraph wire, all of which are continually
used for official dispatches.
j A Valuable Suggestion. —Mr. Prince, the well
-1 known nurseryman of Flushing, R. 1., recommend
| the culture of liquorice, as one of the most impor
tant plants that could be added to American cul
ture. A deep sandy loam or other light soil is
! adapted to it, and the plant is propagated by cut
( ting from the root. It yields an immense crop, is
! quite valuable and now largely imported.
What America has Learned. —We may learn
. more thau one valuable lesson from this war, says
j the New York Times. What have the most pow
i erfui fleets the world has ever seen effected upon
| the Baltic? Nothing at all. Under the most en
terprising leader known iu the British navy, they
I nave not attempted a real attack upon any of the
well fortified harbors of Russia. No more con
vincing argument of the protection afforded by
judiciously planned, well constructed, and power
fully armed fortifications need be sought thaiqthis,
and, it is hoped, will have its due effect with those
j who provide for the national defence iu placing our
I great harbors in a state of complete security.
The Germans ami Slavery.
| To the Editors of the N. Y. Tribune.
\ Sir :In an article headed “ The Germans and
| Slavery” in your paper of the 22d inst., I find you
i take the ground that Germans are “ virtual and
I practical upholders of Slavery.” llow far this will
apply to Germans throughout the United States, 1
know not; but from personal knowledge, gained
j by many years’ residence in Missouri, 1 am con
vinced that you are correct so far as applies to the
Catholic Germans of that State. Commence at St.
Louis, follow the Missouri, Osage and Gasconade
rivers, and wherever you find Catholic Germans
possessing farms of any size, you will (with but
few* exceptions) find them owners of slaves. So
with the inland counties near and adjacent to Kan
sas.
If such is the case in Missouri, I see no reason
why it will not with equal force apply to Germans
iu other States. Yours, W. G.
We extract the above from the New York Tri
bune, of 24th January, and as it comes from one
evidently opposed to slavery and to Catholics, we
commend it to the consideration of those “Amer
icans" in the South, who are so lavish in their de
nunciations of foreigners and Catholics.
We remember, that some time since, there ap
peared several severe articles in the papers of the
South, against the German residents of Texas, in
which they were declared Free-Soilers, Ac. The
same papers also indulged in wholesale denuncia
tions against all Germans —let them put the above
in their pipes and smoke and whiff awhile. They
promulgated slanders, and it is asking too much,
from their skeleton generosity, to expect anything
like a recantation.
Know Nothings in Congress.
One of the editors of the South Sid • Democrat, a
sterling Democratic paper published at Petersburg,
Va., lias been iu Washington city, forsome months,
and is well posted up in regard to parties and pub
lic men, at the Capitol, In the issue of that paper
on the 23d instant, we find the following state
ment :
“Os the present House of Representatives one
hundred ana twenty one members are Know Noth
ings, and were elected as such. Os these, over
.-ighty are votiug for the most besotted Abolitionist
That ever was in Congress, Jor Speaker, while all
he rest with, we believe, but one exception, Evans,
,f Texas, are votiug every day for an advocate
I md for an opponent at one time) of the Nebraska
I bill!"
The very natural inference which follows from
{ a perusal of the above paragraph, reudei s com
i mem unnecessary.
Boston and the Shoe Trade. —It is said that
the forthcoming statistics of Massachusetts will
show that the Shoe and Leather manufactures of
i that State amount to the enormous sum ol $55,-
■ 000,000.
And if accurate statistics could be obtained, we
have no doubt it would show that at least $30,000,-
■V ' come from the pockets of the Southern peo
' pie.
The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, after
having quoted the verdict of the Coroner’s Jury,
in the recent case of Mrs. Morgan, that, “from the
testimony and opinion of medical experts in this
case, the jury feel compelled to caution the public
against the use of chloroform, as being a dange
rous anaesthetic agent, adds:
“ With this recommendation we entirely agree,
and we have before urged, not the necessity of cau
tion, (for caution seems to be of no avail in these
c aS e- \ but the abandonment of chloroform and
concentrated chloric ether as ansesthetic agents in
ordinary eases, the more especially since we have
the original article used for producing insensibili
iv to pain, sulphuric ether) which is efficient, cheap,
and. above all, safe. We are not aware that any
case of death has occurred from the direct effect of
the inhalation of ether, and. although it is possi
ble that such an event may take place, the article
is, beyond all question, more safe than chloroform,
the number of deaths from which now amounts,
we fear, to thousands.”
The citizens of Louisville have decided, by a
mijoritv of thirteen only, to loan $1,000,000 to the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad.

Daniel Webster and John Randolph.
At the late Webster anniversary dinner in Boston, ’
the following story was told by Professor Sanborn,
of Dartmouth College:
Duiing the first years of Mr. Webster’s service
in Congress, Mr. Calhoun was speaking upon a
proposition to require all the government due# to
be paid in silver and gold. He was opposed to
the measure; argued its inconvenience to the
agents of the government with great ability, and
incidentally asserted that in no instance had our
government ever resorted to such a measure. Mr.
” ebster, sitting by Randolph’s side, said to him :
“ He i< mistaken on that point—for there i< a post
office law in the year 17—requiring deputies to re
ceive only silver and gold in payment of postage.”
“Is there such a law ?” said Randolph, with great
eagerness; “show it to me.”
Mr. Webster stepped to the Clerk’s desk, and
selected the volume of the United States laws
which contained the enactment alluded to, and
opening to the very page where it was found, gave S
the book to Randolph. He studied it attentively,
noted the page, chapter and section. The moment
Mr. Calhoun took his seat, Randolph rose, and in
his shrill and harsh tones, shouted, “Mr. Speaker,’
and gaining his attention, he proceeded to say:
3/7 Adndrari is one of the beautiful and senten
tious maxims of Horace, which I learned in my
boyhood, and to this day I have been wont to be
lieve in its truth and to follow it in practice.
But I give il up. It is no longer a rule of my life'
" 1 do wonder, and am astonished that a* man
who assumes to legislate for the country should be
so utterly ignorant of its existing laws! The gen
tleman mentions that the bill before the House in
troduces a new provision into our legislation. He
does not know that it has ever been incorporated
into any statute by any Congress in our country’s
history, when it has been a common usage almost
from the infancy of our nation. Maegruder,”
screamed the excited orator to one of the clerks,
“ Maegruder, take volume five of the United States
law.-, page one hundred and fifty, chapter sixteen,
section ten, and read.”
The Clerk read : “Be it enacted, Ac., that all the
dues of postal department shall be paid in silver
and gold,” Ac.
‘ Witness,’ said Randolph, “the gentleman’s
innocent simplicity, his utter want of acquaintance
with the laws of ilie land for which he affects to
be a leading legislator. Now, Mr. Speaker, I was
educated to know the laws of my country. The
law just recited has been familiar to me from child
hood; indeed, I cannot remember the time when 1
lid not know it; yet, simple and elementary as i;
is, the gentleman, in his superficial study of our
laws, has overlooked it.”
The Last Sewing Machine. —The Sciemifh
American notices a new invention of a sewing ma
•hiue which promises to eclipse all others, anti
which will come within the reach of every family.
It says: “It is understood that Messrs. Jerome, oi
New Haven, Conn., the celebrated clock makers,
have recently purchased a portion of the right to
Robertson’s Patent Sewing Machine for the sum
of $30,000. This Sewing Machine is said to be a
remarkable novelty, li is scarcely larger than the
little sewing birds used by the. ladies, and mat
easily be carried in the pocket. In external ap
pearance it is highly ornamental. For the use ot
families and individuals, the invention appears to
be admirable. We are told that a seamstress with
he aid of one of these machines, will be able to
do in one day the ordinary hand labor of an entire
week. The Messrs Jerome are at present engaged
in constructing machinery for the manufacture ol
his improvement on a large scale, and in January
aext will be able to fill orders. Retail price of the
machine $lO. The best sewing machines of the
other makers, cost from SIOO to $140.”
The Corner Stone. — VV’e are pleased to learn,
lavs the Columbus Times if- Sentinel, of the 25th
mst., that Gen. James N. Betbune has so far re
covered from his recent injuries as to be able to re
sume hi 3 editorial duties. The following charac
teristicgreeting will be read with interest; and
we hope it will touch the pocket nerve of many cit
izens and double the number of subscribers to the
Corner Stone:
To our Readers.- -After an absence of six weeks,
we have the pleasure of greeting you once more.
Six weeks ago you were notified that you had been
shorn of our fair proportions to the extent of one leg.
Ever since that time we have been upon our back,
with oue foot litterally in the grave. Away from
home, aud mentally as physically incapacitated foi
the discharge of any of the duties of editor, we
have been indebted to the kindness of our friends
for such assistance as their engagements permitted
them to render us in the editorial department.
A Spartain soldier upon being ridiculed for go
ing into battle when he was lame, replied, “1 came
here, not to run, but to fight.” Our business be
ing not to run, but to write, we are incliued to the
opinion that we shall make a better editor with
but oue leg than if we had two—therefore let Join
friends not only send up their money, but lot e\ ery
one get us a new subscriber and as many more as
he can, as we intend to make the Corner Stone no
only oue of the most interesting, but one of the
most useful papers in the country.
The publisher of the Georgia Citizen offers a
portion of his establishment for sale, or the whole
of it. It is a favorable opportunity for some in
dustrious amt experienced man to invest his capital
and labor. The Citizen is of the “ intensely Amer
ican ” sort, and we presume the copartner must be
one of the “ initiated,” although the publisher
does not say so.”— Augusta Constitutionalist.
Our cotemporary is mistaken. We will not re
quire the purchaser to be one of the “ initiated,”
provided he takes the whole establishment. Nei
ther will our “antecedents” necessarily furnish
the standard for our successor, because we have a
patronage exceedingly spotted, in apolitical sense,
to say nothing of the mixed condition of politics
themselves, in this Anno Domini of our Lord.
Thanks, Air. Constitutionalist , for your notice of
our wish to change our circumstances. — Georgia
Citizen.
What is the Price of Duc ks ?—A gentleman
was asked : “ What is the price of ducks'?” when
he confessed ho could not tell, lie had been out
that very day with his wife, and she had purchased
no fewer than three ducks. Firstly, there was a
“duck of a dress;” secondly, a “duck of a para
sol;” and thirdly, a “duck of a bonnet.” The first
was made of Genoa velvet, the second was hummed
with Valenciennes lace, and the third had a mag
nificent bunch of ostrich feathers. The united
cost ot these precious “ducks” was #275, so that
each “duck” had stood him no less than s9l and a
few shillings apiece. lie supposed there were
“ducks” to be had in market cheaper, but for him
self, whenever he hears his wife mention the word
“duck,” he always trembles from head to foot, for
he knows at once that it means something inordi
nately expensive.
Ttiu Haeto.n Before the Academy of Medicine of
Paris. —A very hot discussion has just been closed
before the Academy of Medicine of Paris on the
use of the setou, and a great many instructive
facts, both in ancient and modern medicine, con
nected with that powerful derivative, were brought
to light, both by il Bouvier, the author of the pa
per and advocate of the practice, and il. Malgaig
ne, the caustic and epigrammic decrier of the sc
ion. There can be hardly any doubt but that, the
latter eminent surgeon went too far with the con
demnation, and the timely vise of the seton, espe
cially in chronic ophthalmic cases, will continue in
favor with the great majority of practitioners. M.
Bouvier employs little cords of No. 1 bougies, and
covered with a water-paoof composition, instead of
skein or tape.— London Lanlet.
A Brother of Anthony Burns on iiis Travels.
—Henry Burns, brother of the notorious Anthony
Burns, belongs to a gentleman on Red River, in
Louisiana. Ilis master recently gave him written
permision to risit his relations in V irginia. On
iiis way Henry was forced by ice to quit the Ohio
river and travel through the State of Ohio. He sta
ted on his arrival here that the Abolitionists both
ered him mightily in Ohio—especially when they
found out that he was a brother to Anthony. They
offered to set him up in business and raise" him "a
large sum of money if he would abscond—but Hen
ry spurned their offers. He said his master had
more money bet upon his return than they can
raise, aud that his master “is hound to win.’ 1

The number of applications to the Virginia
Legislature for voluntary enslavement of free ne

It is believed that immediately ou the meeting
of the British Parliament a new war loan of at
least £20,00-',OO 1 will he asked for. It is also
thought it will be accompanied by an extension of
the circulation of paper money ou Government
Securities to the extent probably of £4,000,000 in
addition to the £14,000,000 now allowed. That
measure will ease the stress of the new loan, but
] as some twenty or thirty millions more will be de
| manded to meet the expenses of the campaign, the
| relief will be but temporary.
The Mexican papers publish a paragraph stating
that it is certain that Santa Anna and his wife
