The Weather.
Yesterday was cloudy, drizzly, and chilly, until
last evening, when the weather cleared off cold,
aad giving the moon an opportunity to shine.
The Fair— Closing Night.
The ladies, we believe, have been quite success
ful with the Fair which they have been holding
this week, at Masonic Hall. The attendance has
been large, and, we hope, liberal. Those of our
citizens who have not yet visited the hall, should
do so this afternoon and to night, and contribute
something to the object for which the Fair is being
held, as we have been informed it will be closed
this evening. This fact, with the object of the
Fair; and the consideration that it is conducted
by the ladies, should attract a large attendance
this day and evening.
P. S.—Since writing the above, we have been
rtkuiaatedto state that the Fair will be opened
morning, and continue until
Western Kindness-Southern Consolation.
The commercial editor of the St. Louis Democrat,
(a paper with strong anti-slavery proclivities) m

“ A. lot of old ribbed sides, for want of a demand
in St. Louis, has been shipped South.”

A special dispatch in the Charleston Courier,
dated at Philadelphia on the t»th says:
“Advices from New York report the election of
Fernando Wood to the Mayorality of that city by
a large majority.’' •
Manipulated Guano.
We invite the attention of our agricultural
friends to the advertisement of Kettlewell’s
manipulated guano, which appears in our columns
to-day. As an evidence of the appreciation of this
fertilising commodity by the planters of Georgia,
we are informed that the sales last year increased
over the large sales of the preceding year more
than five hundred per cent. We refer to the ad
vertisement
•
llattalion Parade.
We understand that the Augusta Independent
Volunteer Battalion will parade on Monday after
noon next. We did not learn the programme of
exercise on the occasion; butwepresumethe.se,
as usual, will be creditable to the companies on
parade—and a spirit of friendly rivalry should in
duce them to use efforts to excel in numbers and
efficiency.
The Clinch Rifles, we believe, will not torn out
®n Saturday next, in consequence of the battalion
parade.
Shad in North Carolina.
The Fayetteville Daily North Can Union, of 3rd
inst., says:
“The first shad of the season was caught in the
Cape Fear river last night. We intend testing its
quality to-day. Can any one beat old Fayetteville
in the fish line ?”
Certainly we can. Two shad were caught in
the Savannah river about two weeks ago.
The Waynesboro' (Ga.) News, of the 7th

county, was admitted to the bar in the Superior
Court of that county, on Saturday last.

It Must have been Hines.
Some of our citizens who remember l)r. Hikes,
will doubtless recognise lim in the acts and de
scription which follows, taken from the Cincinnati
Enquirer, of Dec. Ist:
Successful Swindling Operation.— Day before
yesterday, a man, giving the name and address of
George Marshall, Lexington, Ky., called at the
jewelrv store ofDuhme& Co., corner of Fourth
and Walnut streets, and selected the following
bill of goods:
One gold English lever hunting watch,
made byJ. & M. T. Leavitt, No. 3,2t>3.... $l4O
One gold detached lever watch, made by
Breitling 100
One gold roller bracelet 50
One ladv’s gold chain with pin 25
One gold curb vest chain, eighteen carats.. 25
One cluster diamond ring 125
After the goods had been selected, he requested
the salesman to lav them aside till the following
day, when he would call with his wife, and cot -
suit’her as to that pottion of the bill intended for
her.
Yesterday he appeared again, and telling the
salesman that his wife was ill, requested the goods
to be sent to bis room at the Southgate House.
He then went to that hotel, and after engaging the
clerk in conversation for a short time, inquired if
a package had been left for him from the estab
lishment of Duhme & Co. Receiving a negative
reply, he walked into the reading room, telling
the clerk if such an one was left, to send the bearer
after him, as he should remain there for some
time.
Shortlv after the salesmau arrived, and was
shown into the reading-room as directed, where
Mr. Marshall examined the goods, and finding the
bill correct, sat down at a table, and drew a check
on Gilmore, Dunlap & Co., for the amount, which
the unsuspecting messenger pocketed, and, thank
ing his customer, bowed himself out.
It is ueedless to add, that when the check was
presented, Messrs. Gilmore, Dunlap A Co., inform
ed the bearer that they did not have the pleasure
of Mr. Marshall’s acquaintance, and could not,
there lore, consistently with their own interests,
honor his draft. When the astonished salesman
returned to the Southgate bouse.the bird had flown
and has not since been beard of.
Marshall is an elderly man, without whiskers,
deeely pock-marked, and about live feet ten inches
high. It is hoped that the adroit rascal may be
brought to a speedy justice.
A Noble Sentiment.— Some true heart gives ex
pression to its generous nature in the following
beautiful sentimeut:
“Never desert a friend when enemies gather
around him—when sickness falls on the heart—
when the world is dark and cheerless is the time
to trv a friend. They who turn from a scene of
distress, betray their hypocrisy, and proves that
iiterest moves them. Ii you have a friend who
loves you and studies vcur interest and happiness,
be sure to sustain him in adversity. Let him feel
that his former Kindness is appreciated—that his
love is not thrown away. Real fidelity may be
rare, but itexists in the heart. Who has not seen
and felt its power ? They deny its worth who nev
er loved a friend, or labored to make a friend
happy.”
JJQuestion fora Debating Society .—The ques
tion before the meeting is tins: If a fellow what is
h fellow, and his gal, are about to be parted for a
time, and they propose to change daguerreotypes;
and for that purpose the feller goes to the daguer
reotype shop, and is to pay for having the “ pic
tures took,” and he has only money enough to
pay for one picture in a magnificent case and one
picture in an ordinary case, which picture should
be put in the magnificent case—his own ugly mug
or hern? Would it be gallant iu him to put her
mug in the ugly case? Would it be jmerous in
him to put his mug m the ugly case which she is
to keep ? That’s the question before the meeting.
•"A requisition is to be made upon the Governor
of this State, under the fugitive slave law, for the
surrender of H. R. Helper, author of the Impend

North Carolina University, where he held a Pro
fessor’s chair, prior to conferring the degree of
LL. D. on Dr. Buchanan.

On the 17th of November the corn crib of Mrs.
Usher was burned, together with three hundred
bushels of corn, a large quantity of fodder, &c.
In addition to these, we give a list of other ac
cidents by which the staple has been lost, so far
as we know at present:
A Mr. Johnson, of Barbour county, Ala., brought
a wagon load of cotton to Montgomery, and
through the carelessness of some negroes two
bales were burnt during the night.
About the 14th of November, one hundred and
seventv-three bales of cotton were burnt on the
New Orleans and Jackson railroad.
Thirty bales were burned on the Alabama and
Florida railroad.
About two hundred bales were burnt on the
Georgia Central railroad early in November.
About thirty-five bales were burnt on the South
Carolina railroad.
Four hundred bales were burnt at Griffin, Ga.,
on the 16th of November.
Five hundred and sev.enty-five bales were burnt
on the steamer Nile, between Montgomery and
Mobile.
Twelve bales were burnt near Forsyth, Ga., in
November.
To sum up the whole loss of cotton, Ac., by tire in
the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ar-
kansas, Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia, there
were burnt, with thirty-eight gin houses and one
corn crib, according to our statement abore, the
following:
Two negro men and two little negroes.
About eight hundred and eighty-one bales of
cotton.
Two hundred and eighty thousand pounds of seed
cotton.
Five screws, one thresher, one grist mill, one
horse mill, and one cotton press.
Three hundred bushels of wheat.
Five hundred bushels of corn.
Six hundred dollars worth of bagging and rope,
and a large quantity of unginned cotton, fodder,
and farming utensils. In some instances the con
tents of the gin houses are not given; and the
loss is estimated in only nine of them—in these it
is put down at twenty-nine thousand eight hun
dred dollars.
Insurance is mentioned only in a few instances.
One gin house was insured for five thousand
dollars and fifty bales of cotton with it ; in anoth
er gin house thirty bales of cotton were partially
insured. i
It is probable that there may have been other
losses of this kind, and much more of the property
must have been insured than we note above; but
our list will give some idea of the extent of the
incendiarism. Six of these fires are put down as
accidental; ten as the work of incendiaries; and
for the rest no cause is assigned.
On the railroads, four hundred and thirty
eight bales were burnt; on steamboat five
hundred and seventy-five bales; and in other
places four hundred and fourteen bales. The total
number of bales, then, burnt during the past two
months, according to the above statement, is two
thousand three hundred and eight.
Besides this, the steamboat Holcombe sunk on
the Mississippi river, with one thousand four hun
dred and sixty-two bales; and the steamboat
Sunflower on the same river, with six hundred
and seventy-four bales; the ship Larrabee was
wrecked oft Tybee, with three thousand five hun
dred and forty-eight bales; and a steamboat on
the Alabama river had to throw overboard a num
ber of bales. Moat or all of this, however, will
probably be recovered, though some of it in a
damaged condition. There were, also, some four
teen thousand bales on vessels wrecked on the
coast of Florida, most of which will be saved, but
in a damaged condition.
p. g.—Since the above was in type, we find the
following additional gin house burniDgs, which
make the total number burnt in October and No
vember forty-one, and with two in December, a
total of forty-three up to the present time.
November 16th.—Gin house of Mr. J. C. Cox,
near Kosciusko, Miss., with seven or eight bales
of cotton.
November 16th.—Gin house of Mr. W. P. Bur
ton, near Woodville, Miss., with twenty-five or
thirty bales of cotton.
November. —Gin house of Mr. L. G. Houston.
near Demopolis, Ala., with some six or eight bales
of cotton.
December Ist.— Gin house of Col. J. M. Petty,
with about seven bales of cotton.
December 2d. —Gin house of Mrs. M. M. Tread
well, near Eufauia, Ala., with about fifteen bales
of cotton. Supposed to be the work of an incen
diary.
The Oxford ( Miss.) Mercury, of the 24th Novem
ber, says: A great deal of fencing, and several
cotton fields, were destroyed by fire in the Missis
sippi bottom last week. We learn that Mr. Dick
ins, of Tunica county, lost a large field of cotton.
This.will also make a total of nine hundred and
forty-nine bales burnt with the gin bouses, and a
grand total of two thousand three hundred and
seventy-six bales burnt in the same time.

New York, Dec. 7.—Sales of cotton to-day 700
bales; market very quiet.
Polite Watching.—One of the first and most
marked effects of the Harper’s Ferry difficulty, and
of the revelations that have followed it, is the in
creased jealousy with which suspicious characters
are watched at the South. Last week two book
pedlers were caught at Salisbury, trading and con
sorting with negroes, and committed to jail to
await th ir trial at the next county court. These
gentlemen hailed from Connecticut. We notice
that a man named Rood, who was here some
months ago canvassing for the Eclectic Magazine,
has got himself into trouble at Charlottesville, Va,
suspected of being an emissary of insurrection.
We know nothing about that, but we will say for
him, that he was the most troublesome, pertina
cious bore that we ever met up with. We often
wished that somebody might slay him before he
became the death of us.
Two gentlemen passed through here on Satur
day with their heads shaved. We believe they
had also been whaled at Calumbia, South Carolina.
They were simply guilty of stealing things.
It is a bard thing when the people of one section
are thus forced to regard those of the other as their
enemies; but it is too much the case. All this
sort of characters will bear polite watching.

Blood Food !
Up !
DR. BRONSON, having been so tar reduced by Consump
tion as to be considered beyond all hopes of recovery by
the most eminent of the Medical profession, and also by him
seP— a regular Physician of twenty years practice—as a last
resort, conceived the idea of Analysing the Blood, and apply
ing the subject of physiology to the more immedia’e connec
tion, and effect of the state of the blood upon the health and
system. The result has been the production of this “BLOOD
FOOD,” from the use of which Dr. Bronson was restored to
perfect health. Within six months after its Introduction, over
two thousand Consumptives were effectualty cured by It. If
you have anv complaints of a Consumptive tendency—Cc ugh.
Cold, Head-Ache, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite,
or Pain in the side—lose no time In procuring a bottle of the
“BLOOD FOOD.” If you arc suffering from Nervous De
bility, or your sleep Is broken and disturbed—if your spirits
are depressed, or your organs relaxed, you will And In this an
unfailing remedy, by commencing with ten drops. If your
Liver is torpid, or diseased in anv manner whatever, one or
two bottles will be sure to invigorate, and bring it into lively
and healthful action. In the most Inveterate cases iff Dyspep
sia.the patient can here And the most efficient and grateful
relief. A benefit is always experienced after t king only one
bottle. In Male*and Female Complaints, and Weaknesses,
the sufferer, after trying other remedies in vain, may rest as
sured that a certain cure will result from the use of two or
three bottles. The “BLOOD FOOD” is effectual in all cases
of Eruptions, Salt Rheum, Scrofulas, and other like com
plaints. Pale and emaciated Children and Adults are Imme
diately benefitted by its use. It gives strength to the body,
and odor and beauty to the skin. Physicians of all schools
are using it with wonderful success.
For full directions, see circulars. Price $1 per bottle.
MOTHERS, in presenting you with Dr. EATON’S IN
FANTILE CORDIAL, we desire to state its superiority over
every nostrum that nurse or quack has heretofore offered
you.
First—lt is the preparation of a regular Physician, who is
well qualified, from much experience in infantile Complaints,
to prescribe for them. Secondly—lt Is entirely tree from
paregoric, or opiate of any kind, and consequently relieves by
removing the suffering of your child, instead of deadenii g Its
sensibilities. Thirdly—lt is put up with great care, as a com
parison of it with any other article for Infantile Complaints
will show ; the very roots from which it is distilled being dug
from the forests under the direction of Dr. Eaton—many of
them by his O'vn hands. Four hly—lt is perfectly harmless,
and cannot injure the most delicate infant, and is a certain
cure and relief in all the following cases, which Is Its ch es
merit over every other preparation, viz :
For all complaints attending Teething, such as Dysentery,
Cholic, *c.: also, for Softening the Gums and relieving pain.
For regulating the Bowels, it is unequalled. For Cold in the
Head, it Is a sure relief. For Cr< mp. the most fatal and trylßg
of diseases. It can be relied on with perfect confidence; and,
being a powerful anti-spasmodic in all cases of Convulsions,
or Fits, we earnestly recommend you to lose no time In pro
curing it. Lastly—lt costs so much more than other prepara
tions of the kind, that we cannot afford such long advertise
ments as can those whose whole expense is their advertising ;
for the same reason, it commends itself as the most reliable
to all mothers. In all cases, the directions wrapped around
each bottle, must be strictly followed. Price 25 Cents per
bottle. Sold by CHURCH & DU PONT, Druggists,
