Elopement from the Sultan’s
HAREM.-EXPLOIT OF AX ITALIAN
ML'SICIAN.
Galignaiii's Messenger states that the master
of the Sultan’s band, an Italian, arrived at Ge
neva with his wife, a beautiful Circassian, ear
ly in the present mouth. According to a let
ter from Constantinople this woman whose
name is Sersefras llanum, was for some time
in the han in of the Sultan, and was one of his j
favorites. “One day she called for her car- ;
rlage, and, accompanied by two female slaves
and a male attendant, went toOrtakie. There
she stopped at a house which she indicated,
ami she was received by two women with
marks of the most profound respect. She en
tered the house, followed by the two slaves,
while the other refnained at. the door. She
was introduced into a sumptuously furnished
drawing room, and there she dismissed the
:wo slaves, who went with the domestics of
the House to on apartment where they were
Pertained with cakes, cigarettes and coffee,
'i . o of the domestics quitted the room from
lime to time, ns if to sec that nothing was
> : .ted in the drawing room, and after a while
lite, all left. The two female slaves continued
. use themselves with their coffee and ci
iiti.es. At last, getting surprised at not
-e uig any of the servants return, they went
out iu their turn, and finding all quiet, adviinc.
ed on tiptoe to the drawing room. Hearing
no noise they entered, and to their astonish
ment found that their mistress had disappear
ed. They called out but received no answer ;
—the house seemed deserted. They then
mmeiieed search in the different rooms, and
t sently found in a a budnir their mistress’
d.e • They were thunderstruck, as it was I
t that she had lied. They then raised i
1 .no cries, and the male attendant entered.— i
il-aring what had happened, he searched the
In *l'l' throughout, but was unable to discover .
■,ir favorite. Hastening back to the ha- j
r .he told the black Aga of her disappear-J
nc.ee. That functionary in his turn went and
'.arched the house with great minuteness,but
< ■ uid not find any trace of the Circassian, and,
after a while lie perceived that the hou«e :
opened on the port. An investigation having
been instituted, it was ascertained that sev
eral persons dressed in European style had
been seen in a caique near the house, and had
detily left it. It also turned out that al
■adsouie Italian, named Guatelli, director of
’ : music at court, had disappeared. The ki
* • of the fugitive was examined ; the gold,
■Ur. r. jewelry and sumptuous presents of all
finds which th.' Sultan find made her had I
b.r>n carried off’. The beautiful Sersefras, .
it is -aid, possesses a splendid voice, which ,
t ultan admired greatly ; and, as she has j
- away with an Italian maestro, it is not i
.probable that she may some day appear in i
the theatre of Western Europe.”
Remedy for Cold iu the Head.
The following may be worth trying : “Tic a I
handkerchief over the head at night on going
to bed, taking care to cover the ears, and an
incipient cold will bo gone in the morning.—
the first symptoms of a cold should never be
neglected, as the simplest remedies have es
.. . t then, which prove useless afterwards. If
cold has gained some headway, avoid liquids
~ir twenty-four hours, and it will disappear.”
A Strong Stomach.
A Western cattle dealer, who rarely had the
privilege of setting down to meat with a fam
ily, and had never been in a ministers house
n his life, was not long ngo benighted and I
list in his ride across the prairies, and coni- ‘
■’led to ask for lodgings in the first house he
uld find. Happily for him, it prove! to be
: dwelling of a good man, parson, who gave
.1 a cordial welcome, and what was especial
agreeable, told him supper would soon be
tdy. The traveler’s appetite was ravenous,
i t : 'e moment he was asked to sit by, he
• .i plied; and without waiting for a second
i ■■ itatiou, he laid hold of what he could
. .’.eh.
•tup, stop!” said the good inan of the
aVe; “we are in the habit of saying sonie
.’.lu.t before we eat.”
Ti’i hint to wait till the blessing was ask
ed. die rough customer did not understand;
’• with his mouth full, he muttered ;
"Go ahead ! say what you like 1 you can’t
ii my stomach now 1”
Smart aud Lazy.
A wag was one day speaking of two of his
ntancos who had gone out West, wheic
■ now <• 'incrs were usually attacked the first 1
:i with the ague, and, said he—
" Neither of those two men will be affected

[From the Baltimore Sun, Oct. 7.]
The Perils of Balooning.
The publie has already been informed of the
safe arrival at Ottawa, C. W., on the 3d inst.,
of Prof. La Mountain and Mr. Haddock, who
ascended in the balloon Atlantic from Water
town, N. Y., on the 22d of September, and for
whose safely much fear was felt. Mr. Had
dock has written a long but interesting ac
count of their wanderings and sufferings in
the wilderness. It appears the balloonists
were up in the air some four to five hours,
when finding themselves over a dense wilder
ness, and the darkness of the night around
them, they concluded to descend. They did
so and passed the night in the balloon fas
tened to the top of a t dl spruce tree, and ex
posed to a drenchi: i.iin. At daylight they
ngain ascended, hero we leave Mr. Had
dock to speak for himself;
“As the current was driving us still to the
North we dare nut stay up, as we were drift
ing fartherand still fai .1 rto the “frozen tide”
from which we knew there could be no escape.
Mr. La M. seized the iiilve cord and discharg
ed gas, and we de- . led in safety by the side
of a spruce. We made the Atlautic fast by
her anchor, and for a niouu nt talked over what
we should do. We had not a mouthful to eat.
No protection at night from the damp ground,
were distant we know not how far from habi
tation, were hungry to start with no earthly
hope of raising a lire and no distinct idea as
to where we were. M’e settled in our own
minds that wo were in John Hrown’s tract or
in the greai Canada v. ii lerncss, to the South,
we thought, of the Ottaway, and knew that a
course South by East would lake i:s out if we
had strength enough to travel the distance.—
! La Mountain stepped to the balloon and
gave the edge of the basket a parting shake,
saying, good bye, old Atlantic,’ aud 1 fancied
I could see a tear in his honest eye when he
said it.”
A minute account of their wanderings in a
dense forest is then given. They traveled miles
on foot along a creek, crossed it on a log, slept
on its banks, suffering intensely meanwhile
from cold and wet weather. Subsequently
they formed a raft, and on this slowly proceed
ed on by polling it, in the hope of reaching
some habitable settlement. Here we quote :
“It had now been four dull days since we ate
1 4 1.1 * . Al. „ ... . _
a meal. All we had ate in the meantime was
a frog apiece, four clam- and a few wild ber
ries, whose acid properties had probable i
done us more harm than good. Our strength j
was beginning to fail very fast, and our sys
tems were evidently about to undergo an ex
traordinary change. I did not permit my
self to think of food—the thought of a well
covered table would have been too much. 1
thought over all of poor Strain’s sufferings on
the Isthmus of Darien, where he, too, was pad
dling a raft down an unknown stream; but
never believed we could stand half the amount
of suffering he did. Besides, he had means to
make a fire—we had none. He was upon a
stream which he knew would lead to the sea
and safety—we were upon waters whose flow
we knew really nothing of, and were as much
lost as though in the m luntains of the moon.
But we ‘could nit give it up so,’ and took
fresh courage as troubles began to thieken.”
So in after they heard the report of a gun,
and the two lost men paddled their raft in the 1
direction whence the report came, a distance
of nearly a mile. Seeing a shantee, Mr. Had
dock rushed on shore. Here we quote again :
“I halloed—a noise was heard inside, and
a noble looking Indian came to the door. ’ J ous
pur/ey Francais' was my eager enquiry, as 1
grasped his outstretched band. ‘Yes sir ; and
English ton.’ lie drew me into the cabin, and
there was the head of the party,anoble-heart
-led Scotch-nun, named Angos Cameron. I im
mediately told my story —that we came in
with a balloon, were lost and had been four
days without food—asking where we were.—
Imagine my surprise when he said we were
j one hundred and fifty miles due North of Ot
taway—in the dense, uninhabited forest, whose
■ only limit was the Arctic circle. In a word
we were nearly 300 miles in a due North
, course from Watertown, in latitude 47.
“Dinner was all ready. The party consis
ted of four persons—Mr. Cameron and his as
sistant, who was also named Cameron, La-
Mab MacDougal, a half-breed, and his son
Beauccil. I dispatched the
i ter Ln M uutain, who came iu after a moment '
’ the absolute picture of wretchedness.
“All that the cabin contained was freely
! tendered us, ami we began to cat. Language
| is inadequate to express our sensations while
i doing so. The clouds had all lifted from our
| sombre future, and the ‘silver lining’ shone all
j the brighter for the deep darkness through
which we Lad passed.”
The narrative concludes with an account of
their return to Watertown, N. Y. They were
conducted sixty miles through the Canadian
wilderness by Indians.

These figures show a total of 2,766,726, of j
which ah’ ut 2,700,000 are infantry, 20,000
cavalry 12,000 artillery and 34,000 riflemen.
Probaldy these figures arc more familiar to
Europeans than to Americans. They count
our available force, and base a proportionate
degree of respect fir us upon it. while wc our
selves hardly give it a thought. No other na
tion has so vast and effective an army as this
could be in case of need. It is practically
• useless f ir f reign invasion, or for governmen
tal tyranny, but for defence it is invincible.
It lacks discipline and drill, but in this re-
1 -pect it is not different from the new levies
which compose the majority of every army in
time of war. The mass i f the men who fought
; at Magenta and Silferino w re no better dis
i eiplined two years ago. A few weeks would
sutiiee to put any portion of it in readiness for
service in the field. It has two importaut ad-
! vantages over European levies, to begin with.
One is that nearly every man iu it is already

Milledgeville Dailies,
We have heretofore neglected to mention

prove profitable, ami wc would advise all who
want the latest and most reliable accounts

HON. JOSHUA HILL
For the Speakership.
Tiie Know Nothing Editors of Georgia, hav
ing failed in elevating “Our Ben” to the Gu
bernatorial chair, are now trying to give his
brother “Josh” a lift by proposing him for
Speaker of the House in the next Congres#.
That cock won’t light. The Democrats have
abler and stronger men, and, as they can count
so many more votes limn their Opponents, it
is not likely that they will depart from the
good old Democratic doctrine of letting the
majority rule. The case is clear —the South
ern Oppositionists must vote f r either a Dem
j erratic ur Black Republican Speaker. 'Which
will they do? Noun Kerions.
For Legislative Honors.
Many of the Georgia papers arc busy sug
gesting their favorites for Speaker of the
House and President of the Senate at the en
suing session of the Legislature. Would it
not be better to leave this matter to the Sena
tors and Representatives without any inter-
meddling of the press ? Fortunately there is
talent enough to choose from, and the mem
bers are fully competent to make judicious
selections of their presiding officers. In this
connection we clip the following from this
week’s Telegraph :
“The Peiaocrncy will have in the Senate, King,
Lav ' ■■ 8. .vaiil, Spalding, Cone (luerry, Tracy, L.
B. Smith, Mctiehee, Wwtlace. Collier. Gartrell, Prin
tup, Li i.’cue, Turner, and other shining lights. They
will be prepared for Hill, Holt, Trippy A Co.
”’Ve shall bo doubly armed with talent in the
House: Hartridge, Screven, Ely, Cullens, Williams,
Dixon. Brown, Greene, Deiony, and many other
promising young meu are in for the first time. They
will pr we eflicicnt co-laborcrs with the veterans of
the party.
FATAL DUEL.
The California mails bring the news of a
duel, fought on the 16th of September, be
tween U. S. Senator Broiierick and Judge
Txrry, in which the former was pierced
through the lung;, causing his death on the
16th ult. Terry was uninjured. The difficul
ty originated in a political quarrel.
Result of the Election.
In to-day’s issue we publish the list of Mem
bers elect to the Legislature ns complete ns
can be obtained up to this time; but have
thought best to postpone the publication of
the vote for Governor and Congressmen un
til wc get the official next week.
Gov. Bnowx has carried every district in the
State, and >s re-elected by mure than double
his former majority, say about 20,000.
The Democrats have as heretofore carried
every Congress district except the 3d and 7ih
in which the Opposition candidates have been
elected by about 150 majority each.
In the Legislature the Democrats will out
| number the Opposition about three to one.—
Glory enough fi r one day !
“Popular Sovereignty.”
We devote, to the exclusion of other matter
the whole of our outside space to-day, to an
i able article from the Benton /Ls-f under the
above caption, to which we invite the attention
of our readers, —particularly the Southern ad
mirer.’’ of Senator D U.I.AS, —hoping that none
who feel inter’ ted in the political history and
principles of our country will fai), on account
of its length, from giving it a careful perusal.
Written with uncommon clearness and force,
it is a complete refutation of the views and
statements 1 ;le’ Senator from Illinois as pre
sented in his recent art;, le in Harper’s .Vaga
zino, an I nt the same time gives a great deal
of useful information upon the rise and pro
gress of the famous Kansas-Nebraska bill.
The writer of the article, we have reason
to believe, is ,1/r. LoviU 'V, the author of an ex
cellent letter in vindication of the South and
| her institutions, addressed to his brother, at
that time an Abolition member of ( ingress.—
The said letter, it will be remembered, was
generally published by the Southern press and
met with great popular favor among us.
Mr. Lovejov is evidently an honest and sen
sible man, and long may he live to wield his
pen in the cause of truth and justice.
Mr. Speer in the Third District.
The Georgia Tleyraph truthfully says, that
Mr. Speer, the democratic candidate for Con
gress in the 3d District, has made a “brilli
ant canvass.” With the most popular man
of the opposition party in the field against him,
the majority in the District, heretofore quite I
large, has been reduced to one hundred and
fifty three votes only ! All honor to Mr.
Speer for the energy, ability and persever
ance with w hich he canvassed the District.—
The Democracy are indebted to him for his
“brilliant'’ race. As he is defeated, it is a
consolation to know that it is by so fine agen
tleinan, as Thomas Hardeman Jr. Speer will
whip the next race.

Rabid Fanaticism.
Wo arc credibly informed that one of our
city i flieials, holding office under the Mayor,
stated in the presence of reliable gentlemen
on the day of the Election, that “there ought
to be another Louisville affair perpetrated in
j/aoon, ami he for one was willing to shoulder
his musket to extinguish the d—d foreign- .
ers.”
This patriotic Ameriiin used a superfluity
of expletives in connection with the above in
• rdcr to i i ii lor liik language inure emphatic—
i.nd perhaps to conceal the deformities of bis
yni.uinutieal education.

A Model Crier.
An old paper, turned up ina general cleaning
np, contains the following ;
In a beautiful town of North Carolina, an
old court-crier, who had grown gray in the
cause and as deaf as a boetle, was in the habit
of calling the names of witnesses (which he
generally managed to get wrong) from the sec
ond story windo v of th« court-house, in such
a stentorian voice as to be heard witli distinct
ness a square or more. On oneoccasion, in the
course ot u very serious and somewhat important
suit, the presence of a witness, named Arabel
la Hanks, was needed. The crier, like a par-i
rot, sat nodding on Ids perch, when ho was
aroused fro.n his slumber by an order from the
Court to call the witness. Looking anxiously I
at the Judge with his hand behind his ear, in
order to catch the sound correctly, Le eai<l:
“What, your Honor}”
“Call Arabella Hanks,” said the Judge.
“Still in doubt, the poor crier arose from
his seat, and said again, with a much puzzled
look:
“ What, your Honor t”
“Call Arabella Hanks, crier, aud delay the
business of the Court no longer,” said the
Jucge, much provoked.*
The old crier, thereupon, with u counte
nance indicating both doubts and desperation,
proceeded to the window, and in oia loudest
voice called out:
“ Valier Belly Shanks! Yaller Belly
Shanks! Yaller Belly Shanks! come into
court!’|
It is needless to .ay that the mm'lommmn of
the court room was convulsively die) -elled; and
quid uas restored only to be again d sturbed by
the laughter cauw-d by the crier, • ho, in an

Brussels correspondent of the New York Iler- :
ahi, dated August 25th, embracing the impor
tant topics of a line of steamers from Ant
werp to the Chesapeake—the Zolhi-rein ami
the South—Combination of Influences—An
nual European Exhibitions at the South.— '
We invite the attention of our readers to the
extract:
Your readers in Baltimore will learn that
important steps are being taken in Germany
and Belgium for a steam service between Ant
werp and the Chesapeake. The movement
has its impetus mainly from the railroad peo
‘ pie who conceive a transatlantic terminus by
, steamers t> bo an essential finishing to the
I railroads which concentrate in Belgium. The
-teamerj will touch at Falmouth, (Land's End.)
England, and from thence proceed direct to
the Chesapeake. The subject was laid before
the Chamber of Commerce ol Baltimore some
time since, but it was necessary to secure the
co-operation of the Virginia interest on the
| one side, and the German interest on the oth
er, before a decided step could be taken. I
j learn that all the interests tributary to the
Chesapeake, and the interests tributary to
' Antwerp, have determined to combine, so as
to realize the best practical result on both
sides, each one yielding something. For in
stance, it is arranged to call at Norfolk, and I
have positive assurances that the cotton and
tobacco sales ot cargoes imported into Ant
werp will be offered upon samples at Cologne.
Those combinations interests do not, however,
| end here. An active correspondence is going
on between the Belgium and German direct
trade committees with the planters of the
South, to make a united effort with the Zoll
verein upon some one given port at the South
—either at Charleston, Mobile, Savannah, Bal
timore, Memphis or New Orleans.
The European Direct Trade Association
docs not look at the question from any isolated
; point of view. The object of the members of
this committee is to concentrate on the best
point their entire inlluence. At the present
moment opinion is divided between Baltimore,
Charleston, and New Orleans. But I am as
sured that this division will not last. Assur
ances have been received in Europe from every
part of the South that the plan finally agreed
upon by practical business men best will be
j supported. In selecting one single town as
j the chief point of importation, the idea of hold
-1 ing a continuous series <>•’ public, trade sales
throughout the South is not abandoned. —
These exhibitions European industry, ac
companied by trade sales, will front this time
boa regular part of every agricultural fair,
convention or public gathering in the South
ern States. But it is believed that there must
nevertheless be some one Southern city where
i -
will be concentrated, by a steam service and
direct imports on a scale, the whole strength
and inlluence of the Cutton and tobacco States.
' If Belgium and Germany can obtain direct
: one-tenth of the annual increase of the trade
; of the South through an alliance with Balti
, more, Charleston or New Orleans, it will be
! enough to satisfy any reasonable people. The
immense consumption of tobacco in Belgium,
i Holland and Germany, gives Baltimore a reg
; ular freight to Central Europe.
Changes in the Methodist Rules.
The Christian Advocate and Journal has a
i leader on the articles in Harper's Weekly w ith
respect to the approaching General Conference
’ot that Church. In this article it is admitted
; that strenuous exertions are made to secure
such a representation as will secure the adop
' lion of the rule mentioned in the Weekly, but
I does not suppose that the prospect of their
i success is sj strong as was there indicated.—
! The editor takes strong ground against the
. movements of the agitators and says:
Our chief danger would arise from the at
tempt to introduce into our laws an utterly
prohibitory ruleagainst slavery, thereby chang
ing our long-established system of Discipline
on the subject, and cutting off those families
among us which are involved, by inheritance,
in the evil of slavery.”
He gives the following reasons against the
adoption of the new rule:
” First, anti-Diblical - contray to nearly all
standard expositors of the Scripture, Metho
dist as well as others; and would therefore be
an unscriptural assumption of legislative pow
er, against the legislation of the only lawgiver
Christ. As such, not only the border churches
i would feel themselves shut up to the alterna
| tive of choosing between the Word of God and
the word of the majority ot the General Con-
I ference, but men reverencing the Word of God,
through all the range of the Church, would
feel so too, and no calculations could compass
the possible consequences.
I “ Second, such a men-nre would be, as we
have heretofore shown, anti-Wesleyan: not
on’y contrary to the presept English Methodist
senl’ment, but contrary to Wesley’s own,
showin g in the case ot the West Indies, and
the slaveholder Nathaniel Gilbert, who found
ed Methoo’sm there and thereby produced nt
last the West India emancipation.
“ Third, it v’ould put a restriction on the ca
j pacity of the Church to spread in the world,
i which would not only be anti-Scriptural, but
which might cut off its access to important
lands. And,
“ Fourth, it would be the sacrifice of acer
tain evangelical victory over slavery, arnong'us,
lor the sake of n form of law.”
The same number of the Advocate and Jour
nal has a circular signed by a large number of
the preachers and lay members of the New
York East Conference, calling upon their breth
ren in other parts to rally for the support of
the rules of the Church as they now are,
and against the attempt made to divide the
Church again, and cripple its efforts for
good.
I '.iT" Ti e following amusing incident took
I pla -e last week upon one ot the Ohio river
steamboats: While the bout was lying at
Cincinnati, just ready to start for Louisville, a
young man came on board leading a blushing
I damsel by the baud, and approaching the po
lite clerk, in a suppressed voice: “ I say,”
he exclaimed, “ me ami my wife have just got
married, aud I'm looking for accommodations.”
Looking for a berth.'" hastily enquired the
clerk, passing tickets out to another passenger.
“A birth! thunder and lightning, no!” gasp
ed the astonished man, “ we hain't but just
got married! we want a place to stay all night,
you know, and—a bed.”
What the Ilion I'kice or Slaves is Doing
fob La.—A St. Louis paper says: “Fitly
I slaves arrived at St. Louis last Friday from
i the interior of Missouri, bound South. It is
salol that upwards ot four hundred nrv leav
, n»g weekly." Thus the high prices of negroes
further South are rapidly draining the more
i Northern States and practicadly converting
i them into free labor communities. How sure
ly and i fle< tually 'his change is operating in
Maryland aud Virginia every one knows.

De Lavo’s Attempt to Carry a
MAN ACROSS THE RIVER —A DECID- '
ED FAILURE.
Yesterday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Mons. De i
Lave undertook to perform bis promise! feat
of carrying a man across the Genessee River.
He walked first from Fulls Field to the roof of
i the saw' mill, and after an interval of about half
an hour, during which he went round passing
his hat among the free spectators on the rail
road bridge, he made preparations to return.
The individual who had consented to imperil
his life in this foolish adventure, w as one Rob
ert Smith, who resides nt Carthage. Ho has
been a sailor. His reported weight is 144
pounds.
De Laue, had a sort of cushion strapped
> about his loins, and Smith mounted his back
I in such a manner that the cushion aided in
i supporting him. iiis arms were clasped a-
> round De Eave’s neck. After proceeding a
! short distance, De Lave began to fail evident
j ly, and grew momentarily more unsteady on
s his legs, until he reached a point a few feet
- from the brink of the fads, when lie lost his
I balance and fell, carrying Smith with him, of
j course. For a moment every cheek among
> the spectators wjs blanched with dread, but
s fortunately both the adventurers caught—De
> Lave on the rope, and Fmith on a guy and al-
- so by one of De Lave’s legs. De Lave then
I assisted Smith on the rope, and both worked
1 their way by ‘‘shinning” back to the saw-mill.
- Smith clambered boldly on the roof, but De
. Lave modestly avoided the congratulations of
, his friends by crawling into a window. We
5 forgot to say that his pole was lost at the time
t of the mishap, and may be in Lake Ontario by
a this time.
Thus luckily ended a rash adventure, and
i we hope no attempt will be made to repeat it.
- De Lave says, nevertheless, that he will go
across with a man on his back next Monday,
1 and it is said that Smith is willing to be the
1 rider. To-day De Lave has announced him
s self to cross in wooden shoes, and return with
t peach baskets on his feet. Rochester Democrat,

The Otero and Watts Duel.
Under date of Mesilla, A. T., September 12,
y we find a letter in the St. Louis Republican,
1 of the 2“th ult., giving a full account of the
e duel—already briefly mentioned—between
s Judge Watts and Hon. M. A. Otero. It seems
- that in a speech made in the plaza on Sunday,
s the 4th ult., Judge Watts charged Mr. Otero
- with neglect of duty towards his constituents,
- and stated that, on the night of the 2d of March,
1859, during the pendency of a certain appro*
■, priation bill before the Senate, Mr. Otero was
- absent at a ball with his family. This Mr.
•t Otero resented by giving Judge Watts the lie,
e both in English and Spanish, in such a man
d ner that it was impossible for Judge Watts, he
h thought, to overlook it. A challenge ensued,
'■ which Mr. Otero, through his friend, Col. Sam
t uel J. Jones, (Sheriff Jones.) late of Kansas,
e and now United States Custom Collector at
i- i Mesilla, promptly accepted, Frank Green, of
e Santa Fe, acting as friend for Judge Watts.
e ' The weapons selected were Colt’s navy six
i, I shooters—one barrel loaded—distance fifteen
paces. The parties met at sunrise on the 7th,
near the Mexican line. Mr. Green won the
choice of position, also the word. After the
’• first shot, the friends of the parties endeavor
'* ed to effect a reconciliation between them,
'' which failed. The second and third shots were
0 then fired, without effect, when, after a con-
J j saltation with his principal, and other friends,
'' Mr. Green declared himself satisfied, and the
“ , parties were withdrawn from the field, the dis
-1 ficulty remaining unsettled.—.V. O. Die.

COTTON PLANTER’S CONVENTION.
At the regular session in June last, of the Cotton
Planter’s Convention, of the State of Georgia, a reso-
- bition passed authorizing the presiding officer, (after
v consultation with the Vice Presidents.) to call the
convention together, should business require it.
p I deeming it important that the Convention shouid as
seinble, and having the correspondence of those whole
I was to consult, I hereby require the members of the
’ Convention to meet in the City of Macon, on Wednes
day, the 16th of November next, as business of the
f most urgent nature require the action of the Conven
i tion.
1 i It is very desirable that each Cotton-growing coun
ty in the State should be represented : therefore,
e each county is requested to send Delegates to the
i Convention.
j Individual Planters, (not County Delegates) may
, attend and become members of the Convention.
s • Newspapers friendly to Direct Trade, and to the
i- Convention and its objects, arc very respectfully re
-1 quested to publish this notice.

' A Remarkable Family.
A correspondent of the Ohio Citizen furnish
e i es the editor of that paper with the following
account of n remarkable family, residing at
t present in Bourbon county, Kentucky :
Mr. Editor:—l send yon a schedule of the
I Bourbon family, as obtained from the father
and sons. The old gentleman is a native of
t Maryland, and is in his 70tli year; was brought
to the State of Kentucky when quite young ;
i and has raised his family in the above conn
; ty, consisting of six sons and three daugli.
I ter9 ‘
t In the following table the height, weight,
and entire age of the family are given:
Height. Weight.
Father 6 feet 4 inches 200 pounds.

The family are ail living except the young- [

the grand children are over 6 1 -2 feet, and are
’ still growing.

Show me a big fellow, and ten to one I’ll show

’ and four feet five in his boots—and I'll recom-
I mend to your notice a fellow that knows what’s
what, and who has plenty of brains in his
head, if he hasn't got much to boast of in the
matter of legs in hut breeches. As a general
rule, the cause of the difference in the size of
' the human family is this: some men’s meat
go into their U'dies—others into their souls;
consequently, the smaller the corporMl di

Daring Foat of Wire-Walking.
A dispatch dated Bloomington, Columbia
county, Pa., Sept. 26, says:
A most daring and hazardous feat of wire
walking was performed in this place on Satur,
day afternoon. Professor Theo. McDowell
Price, who has successfully walked across the
Susquehanna river on the tight-rope, traversed
the street from house-top to house-top upon a
wire. One end of the w ire was fastened to the
top of the Exchange, and the other end to the
cupalo oi the Couit House, a distance of about
one hundred and sixty feet. The elevation
was about sixty feet above the ground. The
performance went off' very successfully, in pres
i < nce of an immense concourse of spectators,
brought hither from the surrounding country
by the novel attraction. The Professor went
through various gymnastic performances and
even stewed a plate of oysters on the wire.—
The time occupied in the exhibition was about
half an hour.
®stf*We count it very rude of the Cleveland
Herald to tell us that a ship is called she for
these reasons: “Because a man knows not the
expense till he gets one; because they are
useless without employment; because they are
upright when in stays; because they bring
news from abroad and carry out news from
home." With onr indignant lady friends, we
exclaim, “the nasty man!”
