At an election, held at the City Hall on the 26th
inst., the following gentlemen were elected officers
of the Richmond Hussars :

“ Christine ; or, Woman’s Trials anu Tri
umphs,” by Miss Laura J. Curtis. It is publish
ed by DeWitt A Davenport, 100, Nassau street,
New York.
A reviewer says of this work : “ Miss Laura
Curtis bids fair to eclipse all the bright particular j
stars that have appeared in the literary firmament I
for the last ten years.
“ There is a freshness about this book that is j
truly delightful. There is nothing common-place.
The author has marked out for herself a new field,
and treated her subject with consummate ability.
The interest is unflagging, to the end ; and wc
feel, when we have done, that this is the advent in
literature of one who will make her mark and take
her stand among the most gifted authors of the
day.”
This work is for sale by M. G. McKinne.
The Jullien Minstrels.
This corps of melodists closed a very successful
engagement in this city last evening. They came
among us somewhat unheralded by the stamp of
“fifty consecutive weeks of crowded houses and
enthusiastic audiences in New York,” but if they
have not as high an order of musical talent and
managing tact as some of their predecessors, they
give very agreeable entertainments, and there is
an interest and romance as well as ability about
Hernandez that will attract crowded houses every
where. The ladies, proud of the noble daring and
gallantry of this man, “will go to see him,” and
partly to this cause we attribute the presence of the
large number of ladies who attend the perform
ances of the Julliens. But independent of this,
the entertainments are well worthy of patronage.
Windy Weather.
The blustering condition of the weather, with
the flying dusl, is rather in strange contrast with
the weather experienced during the past four
months. Extra prudence should now be observed
by all oui|citizens, and our domestics should be
watched and warned of the dangers which might
result from any carelessness in handling fire. Our
Firemen should see to it that their apparatus are
in good working order —the proper officer should
see to the condition of our cisterns —and the City
Council should have an extra and efficient nigh
watch on duty during theprevalence of the presen
blustering weather. By being fully and timely
prepared for any contingency which may occur,
the apprehension of much damage is abated, aud
we are ready to extend an efficient protection to
property.
We are indebted to the Hons. Howeli.
Cobb, A. 11. Stephens, Robert Toombs and other
members of Congress, for valuable public docu
ments.
The communication from Mr. T. S. Piggot,
the Agent of the New York Associated Press, in
replv to our remarks of Sunday morning last, will
appear to-morrow.
Mr. Nelson Robinson, a prominent and
wealthy member of the Board of Broker’s, and
one of the house of Drew, Robinson & Co., New
York, died very suddenly in that city, on the 24th
inst.
At the Girard College, in Philadelphia,
founded by & foreigner, and instruction given with
out charge, there are three hundred pupils born
in Philadelphia, and only thirteen born in other
places, and not one foreign born child.
The party of gentlemen who left Charleston
for Kansas, some time since, arrived at St. Louis
on tlio 14th inst., and left on the 17th, for Kansas,
About the same time a large body of Tennesseeans,
with about twenty-five slaves, arr ived at St.
Louis, from Naslmlle, destined also for Kansas.

Massachusetts for Fil lniore.
We find the following in a late Georgia Know
Nothing paper:
“ The Boston Journal expresses the opinion that
Mr. Fillmore will carry Massachusetts, and savs :
“Gen. Taylor’s chances were not more favorable
in 184-s than those of Mr. Fillmore, seem to be
now, but he carried the State by a handsome ma
jority. The prospects of Gen. Scott were not
brighter at the time he was nnmi nated, yet Massa
chusetts was one of the few States which gave
him a plurality.”
It seems that the editor of the Boston Journal
is not the only one in Massachusetts who enter
tains this opinion. The following is the opinion
expressed by another citizen of that State, whose
position entitles him to know something about
public sentiment there; and the grounds on which
it acts, llis remarks are thus reported :
“At a recent meeting of the Know Nothings of
Massachusetts, where reports were made by dele
gates to the Philadelphia Convention, Mr. "Fames,
one of the delegates, said that .“he could do more
for tlx cause of freedom and for the millions of
slaves, by standing by Millard Fillmore and Andrew
J. Donelson, than by lulling: and believing that,
he was willing to spend his strength, and as much
means as his purse would allow, in carrying for
ihese nominations to a triumphant success, i Loud
applause.) The only thing tor the American par
ty of Massachusetts to do was to come out nobly,
honorabl)’, and frankly, and sustain the nominees.
He believed that if the Council ratified the nomi
nations, and went into the Presidential campaign
on the- Springfield platform, for he believed that
Millard Ftilmore uasas good an anti-slavery man as
any R-mihuc in who eouid be presented,) they would
carry the rotate by “twenty thousand majority.”
Those opinions of Mr. Fillmore’s claims, on
anti-slavery men, are not confined to Massachu- j
setts.
The New \ ork Express, a leading Fillmore
Know Nothing paper, thinks Mr. Fillmore is ;
against the Nebraska Kansas act. It quotes from !
his message in ISSO, on the compromise bills, and
says:
“ No man can doubt that the writer of this mes
sage would, if iu public life in 1854, have resisted
the disturbances made of these compromise bills
by Mr. Senator Douglas aud Mr. President Pierce,
both northern men. No man can doubt that Mr.
Fillmore thus regrets, and deeply’ regrets, the an
nulment of the compact of 132", and all the fear
ful sectional passions excited by it.”
The Indiana Tribune, a Black Republican Know
Nothing paper, proposed a coalition between the ;
Bla k Republicans aud Know Nothings of that |
State, to watch the Indiana Journal object*, j
on the ground that Mr. Fillmore is committed by j
bis sanction of the compromise act of 1860, to the j
Nebrasku-Kansas acts. To this the Tribune res- 1
ponds:
“ How do you know that Mr. Fillmore does not •
fully sympathise with us in our opposition to that *
stupendous swindle of Douglas & Co.? All his
antecedents are on the side of freedom, and in op- j
position to the extension of slavery. Have you
ever read a message—have you erer heard a speech f
—have you ever seen a letter—has even a private
conversation of his been whispered in your ear— j
that would jus’ifv the conclusion that he was now ,
a pr 5-slaverv man in sentiment, and ha: he would i
not sao i a a measure for the restoration of sue I
Missouri Compromise or the admission of Kansas ;
as a free Stale? If you have seen or heard any- :
thing of the Kind, let us have it. We demand to
know the foundanon of your fiiih befoie you again j
indulge iu suen injurious imputations towards the j
candidate of the American party.”
The Old Line Whigs.
We commend to all right minded National
Whigs of the South, the following sensible and
patriotic view of the duty devolving upon them
in the coming contest. It is presented by the
Huntsville, Ala., Advocate, a prominent anti-Know
Nothing Whig paper.
“ We cannot support Mr. Fillmore at this time, ;
because, by doing so, we would, in our opinion, be 1
aiding indirectly, but materially, the Black Re- !
publicans. The order which brings him forward, i
in a vain but deperate hope to gain power, is in
fragments. As a national order it is a humbug.
In the North, freesoilism gives it what strength it j
has. In the South, it gives abolition ‘aid and
comfort’by dividing the South. It is not in the!
race for the Presidency. The struggle is between
the national Democracy and the Black Republi- :
cans. The battle at the North has to be fought
between these two parties, The Democracy is or- j
ganized against abolition as well as Know Nothing- j
ism. The slavery question is the great and the true !
issue in this contest. As a Southern man wc can- ;
not join in any effort to divide the South. We go
with that party, and the only party there, which
fights abolitionism, and at the same time defends
the equality of all citizens. Know Nothingism
cannot master abolition; and it impeaches the
patriotism of a large class of our citizens, and
thus can never be national —the defender of the po
litical privileges of all citizens.
“ To divide the South is to aid the Black Repub
licans. To aid them is to aid in what will dis
solve this Union. To divide the South is to throw
the election of President into the House. To do
that is to lead to a result similar to the Speaker’s
election —to place in the Presidential chair another
Banks. What Know Nothingism effected in
' the one case by voting for Fuller, it may and
; can do in the other case case by supporting a third
candidate.
I “In thus acting, anti-Know Nothing Whigs feel j
and know they are doing their duty to their coun
try. Thev have no assaults to make on Mr. Fill
more. Tliev would, if possible, rescue his past
fame from she injury demagogues ‘on a wild hunt
after office’ are inflicting upon it. If he yields to
the tempters and accepts the nomination, the prin
ciples he will then imbody will cause him to be op
posed. The good he has done will insure him
respect and courtesy at their hands. They may
love Ciesar, but they yet love Rome more. Prin
ciples first, and then men. But good men cannot
make bad principles right. The leopard cannot
change his spots or the Ethiopian his ebony hue.
Know Nothingismjremains Know Nothingism. It
is still like the unconverted Saul, ‘breathing out
ihreatenings aud slaughter,’ going up to Damascus
to persecute the disciples of the true and living
faith.”
JTgT* The contest which has been going on for
some time past, against Mr. Matsell, the chief of
Police of New York, has been decided in favor of
Mr. Matsell.
I-vs The ice crop in New York is much greater
this season than ever known before, and the retail
price, it is reported, will be a fraction less than
last year.
There were three hundred and sixty-one
deaths in New York, last week.
The Portsmouth Transcript publishes a list of the
deaths in that place during the prevalence of yel
low fever, last summer. It occupies more than two
columns of the paper, and comprises one thousand
and seventy-seven names. The recollection, even,
of that terrible scourge, is sufficient to cause a
shudder.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:
Mr. Editor—“ Light,” in yesterday's paper, at
empts to be witty upon the subject of street preach
ng, and suggests the City Hall as a field for mis
ii,nary labor. We have no doubt that if “Light”
limself is not a frequent visitor of the place de
signated, his locality is iu fully as great need of
ight as the City Hall. City Hall.
To the Editor if the C net tionalist.
“ How can she thus . n call us by our names.
Unless it be by inspiration?”—Comedy of Errors.
I dare say Richmond is more familiar with the
puffj’ gentleman Falstaff, than I am, and is con
sequently better able to appreciate the force of in
stinct, but I make this concession without regret
because it is really of little consequence to me how
he managed to get off the track of the Savannah
Valiev- railroad—l only hope he will stay off.
Speaking of his catechism reminds me of the
scene in the play where the actress, waiting the
response of the Oracle says almost inaudibly—
“lt that Thunder V”
Locomotive.
Savannah River Valley Railroad.
At a called meeting of the City Council of Au
gusta, the following preamble and resolutions, in
roduced by Mr. Butt, were adopted :
W hereas, a majority of the Committee, appoint
'd to report upon the*propriety of the City aiding
!i ihe construction of the Savannah Valley railroad;
ind said majority being supposed to represent the
views of a majority of the legal voters of this city.
Therefore—
Resolved, That the City Council will, with the
concurrence of a majority of the legal voters of the
City to be expressed in the mode prescribed bv
iavv, subscribe £soo,<>oo to the capital stock of said
Company, on the following terms, as a basis for
future negotiations:
Ist. The subscription not to be obligatory, un
less the Savannah Valley Railroad Company shall
within six months, obtain good and reliable cash
subscriptions of sl,oo#,<loo, payable without quali
fication or condition, except the condition of the
whole sum being made up from parties other than
the City Council of Augusta.
2nd. No discrimination shall ever be made
against this point. In am-future arrangement of
freights, whether local or through, Augusta shall
participate fully in the advantage of the minimum
rate, whether it be in the up or down charge for
the transportation of passengers, produce or mer
chandise.
Srd. The principal business office and work
shops of the Valley road to be in Augusta.
4th. The construction of the Valley railroad
shall be commenced at Augusta, and proceed con
tinuously to its junction with the Rabun Gap road,
and shall from some point to be designated by the
City Council be constructed ou the Northern or
river side of the Augusta canal, so as to make the
canal embankment on that side the bed of said
road from the point so designated, to some other
point to be iu like manner designated between
Ray’s Creek and the head wall of said canal.
stli. The connection between the Valley road
and the Georgia railroad, shall be at some point
west of Gumming street, and that of both of these
roads, with the South Carolina railroad, shall be
between the now eastern terminus of the Georgia
railroad and the through Depot lot of the South
Carolina railroad south of Walker street, and this
latter connection shall be by horse power only.
6th. For the connection herein proposed, the
railroads in interest, shall pay, or caused to be
paid to the City Council of Augusta, such sum
as the Council may deem a just equivalent for the
same.
7. The City Council of Augusta to be secured
one-third of the Directors of said Valley road, and
that the Directors thus provided for and secured,
shall be annually nominated by the City Council.

The most extraordinary discovery in the World it the

H. G. FARRELL’S
CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.
TgnilE beautiful and fertile region skirting the
a desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants
and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro
matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is
composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and
penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused
through the whole nervous system, allaviug the
must intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when
: vou will be convinced that no preparation possesses
I In so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities.
: Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates
! the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re
! storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where
j the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but
I skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing
! new flesh to grow out and till up the shrivelled
j part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
I and this is the reason why it has been so success
! fol in diseases of the joints. In affections of the
Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme
dy stands before any other ever produced. For
ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe
cilic. For any internal inflammation, you will find
it gives great relief. It has no equal In the world
' for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb
ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds,
chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and
reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in
, deed nearly all diseases which require an internal
application, and many others, are g • atlv beuefftted
by it. It is used externally with great success in
goitre, or swelled neck, Scrofula or King’s Evil,
Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses
or Cattle, it is ns effectual as in diseases of man.
Will cure any case of Sweeney in existence ; also,
Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Big-bead, Fistula, Farcy,
Poll Evil, Windgalls, Strains, Bruises, Ac.
Look out for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has latelv made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
l the name of Farrell, many will buy it tu good
; faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
j ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
j when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
effects.
