E- Setle for the State of South Carolina. j v>res O’Conner, Travelling Agent. X)r. AL Woodruff, Columbus, Ga. guilmettes- LYRICAL EVENINGS. The attendance on Tuesday evening at Armory Hall was j. ir( reand fashionable, und the performances were welt re (dced’ M r * tu,l Y sustained his former reputation as a vo , nlist and delineator. r I he same thrill oi delight was mani fest when he sung the favorite Scotch Ballad, “ The Rowan Y r ee,” and it was sung most sweetly. The ‘ ‘Giour ” and 4. The Death of Abel,” are grand p’#jes, but the Hall is too circumscribed to admit of all the necessary adjuncts to produce the proper effect. It was however a fine concert, anchve understand another will be given next Tuesday even ing consisting of songs, ballads and descriptive pieces. jTx’Our long time acquaintance and friend, Mr. J. Came ku>\ h as retired from the important post of Conductor of one of the passenger trains on the Central Rail Road from hence t > Macon, and is about to retire to a farm in Scriven County. Mr. Cameron has filled the post of conductor on the Central Kail Road w ithout any intermission for ten years and three months. During that time he has travelled more than 500,000 miles, or what is equal to going ronnd the earth twenty times! He retires from his post with the happy reflection that in all that time not a single accident of any moment has happened to anv individual on a train under his charge. Not only has there been no joss of life or limb, but no injury of the slightest Kind Ins ever been sustained by passenger, engineer, or any of -the hands on a single train under his charge ! Such re sults are worthy of being recorded. May Mr. C. in his retirement ever find as easy a track as that which he has followed so many years, and may he con tinue to meet with wayfarers like those on the Central, who are always ready to “ fork vp ,” and go about their business, after interchanging a friendly shake of the hand. Sav. Republican, Washington Monument. —The Legislature of Vermont has appropriated SSOO to procure a block or blocks of marble, or granite, for the Washington Monument now in process of construction in the city of Washington. A Mrs. Ross of Cincinnati has a St, Bernard dog, six months ohJ, that stands two feet seven inches high from the shoulder blades; measures three feet one inch round behiud the fore legs, and six feet long from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail Fires in chimne} r s maybe extinguished by simply throwing upon the fire in the grate or fi/e place, a few handfuls of corn lilOU salt. In the process of burning tho salt, muriatio arid gas is evolved, which has the effect of instantly extinguishing fire. There is but one convict in the Penitentiary of Texas.— He was convicted of stealing Fayette county. One single vote sent Oliver Cromwell to the long Parliament, Charles Stuart to the scaffold, revolutionized England, and made Great Britain free. The number of deaths in England, in 1848 was 423,304. — The births during the year, exceeded the deaths 152,773. A letter from California in the Exeter (N. II.) News Let ter says that one of the party consisting of Joseph Nabors, of Lowell, and three others, dug up a piece of gold weighing four pounds and six ounces! James L. Freaner, the correspondent of the Picayune in California, owns property at San Francisco which rents for $60,000. besides having an interest in various cities and vil lages. He made one fortune out of the Mexican war. CHAPTER OP ACCIDENTS IN LOWNDES CO. GA., Lowndes, Cos., Nov. 14th, 1849. On Friday morning last, the 9th inst., Seaborn Joues, ot’ Lowndes Cos., was shot dead by his little son who is ten or twelve years old ; a few of the neighbors were at his house preparing to go driving, the little boy was going also, he had a gun in his hand, and by some means it went off; his father was sitting in a chair in the piazza, the hoy it is thought was a short distance from him in the yard, and I think no one saw the gun when it was fired. The other men were in the house.— Nearly the whole load of buck-shot struck his arm and the side of his breast. He rose, went a step or two, and fell dead without speaking. He was an active farmer, from forty’ to forty-five years old, and has left a widowed sister of the well know n Peter Cone of B'K’.GCli, and two children. About two weeks previous a youth named Aaron Knight, I think from Tattnall Cos., and on a usit to his relatives in this, was at a drinking place on the Alapahaxv, and during the day ran several poney races ; his horse finally stove him against a tree with such force that his head and breast was literally crushed, which caused his in stant death ; he was onlv sixteen or eighteen years old. Groggeries are surely wretched pla ces for the youtlfof our country to resort about. .And nearthe first of October, a worthy, indus trious, laboring man of this county (who had a wife and six small children) named Irwin J. Lewis, “as bitten by a very large rattlesnake, on the shin, when in his field at work, and which caused his death, after extreme suffering in foity-eig t hours, though he had two or three physicians and a$ many good snake doctors. The snake was oun Coring the day and killed. Mr. Lewis was raised m Bulloch county, was thirty years of age, and a member of the Baptist church.

It is a mineral substance, and has been found upon analyzation by Dr. Chilton, of the city of New York, to consist of larger pro poitions of Silicia Alumine, Prot. Oxide of Iron and Magnesia, with lesser of Lime and Carbon. It is used extensively for cover ing roofs of either shingles, matched boards, tin, zme,sheet iron or thick paper, if yourshinglcs have been on for years, you have only to sweep off the moss and lint, with a stiff broom, and cover with two or throw (jnnß mats. and in a few months you have a perfect slate roof, impervious to the action of the weather and fire. There is nothing equal to it for steamboats and cardecks, for all kinds of iron, it forms a coating nearly as hard as the iron itself, and never cleaves off It should be used for everything that you wish to protect from fire and weather.
