From the Mobile Register. New Orleans. The proposition is mooted iu New Orleans to in vite the veteran, General David E. Twiggs U S A., to resign his commission in the service in or der to accept the Mayoralty of New Orleans The proposition comes from those who feel that the municipal administration and police of the Cres cent City have fallen so shockingly low in efficien cy and honesty, that it requires a “man of iron’’ to conduct the reins of Government and conduct it to reform At least, three of the leading papers in New Orleans have no hesitation in declaring that the city is given up to the rule of Thuggery Brass Knuckles and ruffians -that the laws are powerless to protect the limbs and lives of public men who are obnoxious to certain parties; and, in .. orl > J“ a! Terrorism reigns uncontrolled in the Clt -j- These delightful results are the blossoms and fruits tso it is charged there), borne by that flagrant exotic, yclept Know Nothingism." The New Orleans Delta gives tbe following as the last exploit of the “Terrorists” : Officer Alego.—Officer Alego, who was mur aered last Monday evening, (for he is probably dead before now , was a native of New York, but had the misfortune to be an honest, incorruptible officer, lie steadfastly determined never to patron ize 1 buggery, or allow its professors to escape, if he could succeed in arresting them, and the result is that his brains have been oozing out gradually from a dagger wound in the head, given by a very skillful and powerful hand. He was on his beat on Monday evening when the “Citizens’ Meeting” was held in Bank’s Arcade. His beat was exactly iu front of the place selected for that assemblage, and as usual be was attending to his duty. Inside the Arcade, Ato was cried, and the dogs (not of war; but of assassination let loose. Re spectable citizens and property holders were in sulted ; their verv names, like that of Mr. Brothers, were received with rage and contumely, and men like Major Beard, one of the most conscientious aud intellectual characters which ever graced his jirofe-siou, were tumbled off the public platform : b y a band of ruffians who have not a dollar’s worth of interest in the city, outside of the prostitution i houses. Os course some of them were Deputy Sheriff's. Outside, the doomed officer, poor Alego, was walking quietly on his beat. The meeting broke up in confusion—assassination being triumphant -and the “ Bed Warriors” i tlie murderers of Dunn, the Kentuckian i having failed in their at tempt on Major Beard, went in search of a less dis tinguished victim. They crept behind poor Alego, an intrepid fellow who feared no enemv face to face, and pierced his brain by a single blow. The wound through which’his brains have oozed out is small, round and direct, about the circum- ; irence of a shirt button, and his doctor informs us : that no instrument/tould inflict such a wound ex- j cept a thin dagger or stiletto of the very sharpest i edge and purest steel. lie was murdered, coolv, I premeditated Iv and deliberately ; be was Thugged. Recorder Bright may insinuate in his Inquisition : Chamber that some “deck hand or levee laborer” j murdered him, but who will believe his diagnosis ' j! the ease ? \\ ere tliev deck-hands who trundled 1 Major Beard off' the platform in Banks’ Arcade, where, for many years, he has been accustomed to manage so much of the real estate business of this city ? Bah ! the hypocrisy is worse than the mur der. Alego was noi only a police officer, but he was ! an intelligent and reliable man, and surely as God livetfa, the Special Providence which watches over i even the fall of a sparrow, will hold his murderers I ip a strict and terrible account. For every drop of 1 his blood, there will be a punishment! From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. The Jennings Estate. Messrs. Editors: Having heard much of late : years about a certain “ Jennings Estate ” in Eng- i land which belongs to the Jennings family in that ] ountry when they can prove their legal heirship to j said estate, I lay before the public such informa- I tion as I have in mv possession concerning the ( man and the property left by him. Respectfully yours, ]). F. Died 17iis, A. I)., in his ninety-seventh year, Williams Jennings, of Action Place, near Long Melford, in the county of Suffolk, and of Grosve- ] nor Square, Esq. He was baptised in Sept. 1701, i -.ici was th“ son of Robert Jennings, Esq., Aide de-Camp to the great Duke of Marlborough bv j time, his wife, daughter and heir of Carew Gui- ; dot. Esq., lineally descended from Sir Antlioni • Guidot, Knight, a noble Florentine employed on ! sundry embassies by King Edward the oth, and i grandson of Humphrey Jennings, of Erdington j ifall, in the county of Warwick, Esq., Lord of th< j Manor of X tie r Whitacrc in that county, in lriSo. ' and an eminent iron master at Birmingham. King j William 3rd, was godfather to the late Mr. Jen- ■ rungs, and amongst other valuables discovered in his house, is a silver ewer, which was the present I from the Monarch at his baptism. He had been j page to George the Ist, and during the long pe- i riud of his his life, remained a bachelor, more given : to penuriousness than hospitality, lie was the i last annuitant of the Exchecquer Tontine, of JJlOn J a share, for which he had received £3OOO a year] for many years past. He had property in almost ■very fund, and such was his immense wealth, that ; the dividends on most of his stocks have not been i received since 1788, nor the interest on his mort- i gages for a long time. In his iron chest, the key ; •f which could not be found till after a long search j —hid in a mortgage deed—there were bank notes of the year 173 s to the amount of £IO,OOO, and : several thousand new guineas. About £20,000 ] were found iu money and bank notes at his town ! and county houses, also a key to the chest contain- j ing his mother’s plate and valuables, which is de- ) posited at Childs the banker’s, and has never been , opened since his decease. He is reported to have ! always kept £50,000 iu his banker’s hands for any i sudden emergency, and had not drawn a draft on i the Bank for the last fourteen years. He never, ; fill lately, employed a regular steward. Not many years since, an eminent attorney of Suffolk offered | his assistance at Lis audit, thinking the fatigue too • great for Mr. Jennings’ age; but he was answered, Whot ! Do yon think 1 ain't write f He was very regular and exact in all his ac counts, insomuch that he even noticed his house bold bills exceeding in the usual weekly amounts. His expenses were supposed not above £3OO per year, although the property, it is thought, cannot fall short of two million pounds. It appeared that he had very faithful servants, who will all be pro vided for. A will was found in his coat pocket sealed, but not signed, which was owing, as his ; favorite servant says, to his master leaving his j spectacles at home, when he went to his Solicitor for the purpose of duly executing it, and which he afterwards forgot to do. On the 29th, his re mains were interred in the family vault at Acton Church, with much funeral pomp. On opening the vault, the coffins of his father and mother only were found therein, the former of whom had been dcarl seventy-three years, and the latter thirty seven. The following is given as an accurate statement j of his property: South Sea Stock.. ..£3o,o©d interest ou do. £8,725 South New “ 80,000 “ “ 7,650 South Old “ 40,000 “ “ 9,600 Indies “ 23,890 “ “ 18,570 Consols 8 per cent... 50,000 “ “ 17,250 Ditto 3 “ his mothers. 10,000 “ “ 5,450 Bank Stock. 35,000 “ “ 19,600 j 5 per cent.

Senate. Mr. Benja- , min submitted a resolution which lies over, having j ; in view the entrenchment of the expenses of the j public printing. On motion of Mr. Butler, the Post Office Com i mittee were instructed to inquire into the expedi j ency of discontinuing to the members of Congress ! the franking privilege, and in lieu thereof allowing i money for the payment of postage. Also, autlior i izing the committee, if they see fit, to report a bill ■ regulating the postage to be paid on letters and packages'which members may transmit. The con j sideration of the deficiency bill was then resumed. House.-The House debated the Senate bill re moving the restriction placed on Federal Courts to ; confine persons guilty of a violation of the laws of : the United States, in'tlie penitentiaries within the i : judicial district where they may be convicted. Galled.—Miss Murray’s book has touched our | Northern Abolitionists on the raw. It is not so much her view of slavery that irks them, as her 1 declaration of the good taste, elegance and refine ment of Southern ladies and gentlemen. They wince, and some of them absolutely howl, at the exposure of the vulgarity, snobbish tawdiness and i ooarse pretention which distinguish the bun ton of j their cities; an exposure made all the more severe by the undoubted|c‘>mpetency of Miss Murray to ] judge upon these subjects. That a favorite Maid ; of Honor to Queen \ ietoria should tell them that their Xew York society is vulgar and pretensions, is bad enough, but much worse is her declaration , that the hated Southerns possess, by far, more taste, better breeding and superior refinement. The same opinions were expressed by Lord Morpeth, and cannot fail to be entertained by any really high bred lady or gentleman, who travels through : the two sections. — Ear.

The Atmospheric Telegraph. When the world had recovered measurably from the almost overwhelming sensation of wonderment ; produced by the achievements of the telegraph, . we may suppose that it was fully prepared to award to that discovery the title of ultima thule of all in vention. That other invention, and great ones, would follow in the lapse of time was perhaps more than probable—that anv discovery worthv to be compared with this would be made, was | deemed improbable. It was reserved for Mr. Morse to reach the culminating point in the world of invention, and win this magnificent trophy for this first half century. Such speculations also are , likely to prove premature or to be accounted but the ebulitions of old fogy ism, A greater than Morse is at hand. One I. S. Richardson, by “craft or cunning, which at an earlier day would have brought his bones to the rack, proposes to transfer : tons of mail matter from the city of Washington to New \ ork, within the period of sixty minutes or at the rate of five miles a minute. Mr. Richardson has petitioned Congress for an appropriation to aid him in doing this thing. At the last session a bill was reported in the Senate which provides that the sum of $75,000 be appropriated to enable the Postmaster General to test the practicability and usefulness of I. S. Richardson’s atmospheric telegraph, not more than two feet in diameter, for the transportation of the United States mails. “ An operative model,” says the report, twentv five feet long, is now being exhibited to members of Congress and officers of the Government, in the Rotunda. This machine transports letters, packages, Ac., at a speed of over five hundred miles per hour, with a certainty and safety before unknown, whether curved or on a straight line, i “ With this great speed, there are stations on the line at which the load is stopped and changed, in a very short space of time, and then allowed to ; pass to another station. To produce a partial vacuum is as easy as to apply the power in any 1 other form ; and as the load is progressing, the atmospheric resistance is obviated. “ The plunger goes forward without calculable friction, and its touch is not sufficiently great to ; , create objectionable heat. “ The Engine, Tender ami Fuel, are stationary, and the power used to draw them and their appur- | tenances is saved. The actual cost of transportation is in * more 1 than one-sixth that of any other method, and more j than Un times as fast,” The following - short statement of mechanical ! facts respecting the Atmospheric Telegraph, is j given by the inventor. 1. The area of a two foot plunger, is four bun- ■ ‘ tired and fifty-two inches. 2. The pressure of one-fourth pound on each 1 i licit is one hundred and thirteen pounds, and one ! hundred and thirteen pounds tractive force draws seveu tons. 3. A two-foot cylinder, fortv miles long, contains about 640,000 cubic feet of air. : 4. One pump cylinder, twenty feet in diameter, and twenty feet long contains six thousand cubic 1 feet. Two of these pumps, double acting, will ex- ] haust twentv-four thousand cubic feet of air at eve- ] ry turn ot the shaft; therefore, twenty-seven turns j ■if the same will exhaust the number of cubic feet . contained in the forty mile cylinder. 7 5. Let the load of seven tons start from Balti more when the pumps are started at Washington, and we cannot see why the load will not arrive at \\ ashington as soon sis the shaft has made twenty ty-seven revolutions—say five minutes, with a pres- 7 sure on the pumps equal to drawing the load, viz : ! less than one-half pound to the inch. Those who have examined this wonderful inven tion, are generally confident in their belief of its I I practicability, and that grand results must flow | 1 from its adoption by the government.

Where the bees end butterflies Skim the rneadv down Five merry little children’, Gathered from the town’, From dark and gloomy alleys From sickly lanes aiid rooms Drearier and madder Thau a [dare of Tombs. Ragged little Johnny, Merry little Jim, Crooked little Barney- How sweet the fields to him! Matty with her white head, Bonnet all awry; Katie with her sweet fancies Glittering in her eye. They have roamed the meadow, _ They have roamed the wood, ’ Seeking nuts and blackberries’ For their pleasant food. With their nuts and blackberries, And lumps of bread and cheese On a mossy hedge bank, Now they sit at ease. Drinking from the brooklet, ’Neath the hawthorn tree, Clear it runs as innocence— Fresh and bright and free— The hawthorn shook fresh odors. Like a blessing down From the pure white blossoms Os its leafy crown. Plump white lambs were gathered ’Neath its cloven stem, And the happy children Nestled close by them. And the thrush sang loudly On the hawthorn sprav And the brooklet ever Made music on its way. I watched unseen, oft sighing, To think what simple joy Was here that earthly riches Might seek in vain to buv. How easy to be happy, Where nature doth suffice; \\ ealth and grandeur are not Found in Paradise. Stbaccse, March 24.—A woman named Ward residing near Bridgewater, Madison countv, ves terdaj murdered her four children by cutting their throats with an axe. She then made an unsuccess tul attempt to cut her own throat. The cause of the act is said to be the neglect and brutality of her husband. SHIPPING- NEWS," ARRIVALS FROM CHARLESTON'.

Office of the Fashion Line, [ Augusta, April 15, 18W. f ripIIII subscriber would respectfully call the S aattention of the Merchants throughout Geor gia, Tennessee, Alabama, and South Carolina, to the Savannah River, as a safe, expeditious and cheap route for the transportation of their Merchan dise. By comparing the freight tariffs of this line with ; those of the South Carolina, and Central, and Waynesboro’ Railroads, it will show a result in fa vor of this route of from 30 to 50 percent., gener ally, and in some instances a greater per centage. Bv this route a merchant receives each shipment of his Goods together; they are not retailed by him as they generally are by Railroads connecting with the seaboard, with a list of charges attached to each package. In addition to the present force of this line, an- j other new Boat, of light draught of water, will be j added during the coming summer. These boats will leave Savannah after the discharge of the New j York and Philadelphia Steamships, twice or three ! times a week, delivering those Goods at this point ; in FIVE DAYS. From the present low tariff of this line a deduc tion of 123*i per cent, will be allowed on all bills from this date. Give the river more business, and : a cheaper freight yet awaits you. AH goods from the seaboard should be directed to M. x\. COHEN, Savannah, ' and produce from the interior to JNO. A. MOORE,, Augusta. To the manufacturing portion ot Georgia, as well j as to the Cotton Merchants, and dealers generally, I on the line of Railroads through Georgia and Ten nessee, who ship to Savannah and Northern mar kets, this route offers very favorable inducements. To facilitate shipments, as well as to prevent er- j rors, bills of lading should be forwarded to M. A. COHEN at Savannah, forall goods from seaboard. JNO. A. MOORE. In case of low river, all goods consigned to this line, will be forwarded by Central, and connecting Railroads. aprillo j SUPERINTENDENT’S OFFICE, Georgia Railroad, ) Augusta, September 10, 1855. f ON T and after 20th September, the charges on Grain and Flour, on Georgia and South Caro- I lina Railroads, will be as follows: Atlanta to Augusta.
