Albert Barnes. —This distinguished divine of the Presbyterian Church die«l in Philadelphia on Saturday lust. By his numerous writings, and “Bi ble Commentaries” in particular, Mr. Barnes had earned a world wide reputa tion. His Bible commentaries, adopted in every Sunday School and nearly every Pro testant family in the land, prove him to have been a dilligent student and a most profound expounder of the Scriptures.— These were often written in the midst of the most arduous duties, and nearly de prived him of his eyesight, the result of labor while others were asleep. The circu lation of his “Notes on the New Testa ment is said to have reached a million volumes. They were extensively trans lated, and have been adopted by many biblical students of the Old World. Two other of his works, “ A Life of St. Paul ” and “ Evidences of Christianity,” had a wide circulation. The English Opera Troupe— Mr. D’Orsay Ogden’s Company opened at Gir ardey’s Opera House last night to a re spectable audience. The comic opera of “ Pepito” we did not think was very well presented, being without interesting parts, and with hardly enough music in it to en title it to the mime of opera at all. The second presentation—the musical drama called “The Home of Eva”—was well performed and elicited considerable npplau.:e from the audience. The charac ter of “ Uncle Tom ’’ was fluely represent ed by Mr. It. D’Orsay Ogden, who present ed in it muen that was pleasing, and, in deed, toward the latter part, by his pathos and excellent delineation, produced con siderable emotion in many present. Little Sappho is well worth seeing, and took the character of ‘ Eva ’’ with good effect. We have seldom seen so accomplished a little Jta.fcraws alid ids-*-*** .so young, she slogs re markably well, her voice possessing much sweetness of tone and has been well culti vated. Quite an attractive bill is offered for to night, when we bespeak for them a good house. The General Agent of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Mr. T. B. Trout, at No. 21 Mclntosh street, performs this day the pleasing but melancholy task of sending to the widows of two deceased policy holders of that company, each, a check for $5,000. A wise provision made for them by the beloved departed ones. Go thou and do likewise. dee29 2 Firing Into a Train. —From the Charleston Conner of yeslenlay we learn that on Tuesday night, while a train on the South Carolina Railroad was on its way from Augusta, and near the Williston depot, some one tired into one of the cars, shooting William Boyd, a colored man, who was sitting at the window in the neck near the spine. The ball, seemingly from a pistol, penetrated deeply In the flesh, and would have been removed at the City Hos pital, where he was carried, but slipped its position when touched by the forceps. The wound was painful but. not dangerous.— Boyd says he lives in Columbus, Ga., and was on his way to Charleston to visit his relatives. Wilt. It Be Ho "—Alter the Ist of Janu ary there ought to be some abatement in the prices of tea, coffee, sugar and spices. On that day a reduction takes place of fif teen cents a pound in the duty on tea, of about one and a quarter cent, a pound in the duty on sugar, and two cents a pound iu thp duty on coffee. On spices there will b: 4i large reduction, and also a consider able addition lo the free list; this last mainly in the special interest of the mami tactnrers. The surplus revenue for future vears is estimated by Protectionist organs at one hundred million per annum, and they propose to keep it up at this figure for their own benefit and that of the boud ' holders. - . The Colored Georgia Annual Con ference will convene In this city on the 4th of January, 1871, in Trinity Church. Bishop Pierce will lie present by thespecia! request of the Conference. The Conference was appointed to be held lu Havauuah but the clinch there bciDg in a law suit, with other unforsecn dilhculties, has made it ex pedient to move it to Augusta. The white preachers are especially requested to in form the colored preachers of the change. Said to Be the Tiiing.—Light lavender pants and Prince Albert coats are said to he the thing. Subdued mouse-colored kids, elongated lioots, champagne neckties and brick tiles make up the elegant suit, not forgetting the important matter of parting the hair in the middle. A thin pair of legs and a diminutive moustache and cane add grace to an exquisitely fashionable harness. Collision, —Two freight trains on the South Carolina Railroad came in collision Wednesday morulug, about 7:80 o’clock. — Both engines were somewhat damaged, but no injury was done to human life or to the freight. The accident occurred at Cypress swamp, about twenty-eight miles from Charleston. River News.—The steamer Carrie ar rived at 4:15, p. m.. yesterday, with a full cargo. The river, at 3, p. m., registered 6 feet 4 inches. Rev. G. C. Needham (Evangelist), late of Ireland, is pre&chiug every evening this week, in the First Baptist Church. There Is much interest awakened, and a prayer meeting is held every day at noon. All classes are invited to attend these services. 2 Governor Bullock has appointed A. L. Harris, William L. Clark and J. N. Dubarry to take an inventory of the prop erty of the State Road. Mr. Jambs W. Gray, for many years Master of Equity in Charleston, S. C., died on Tuesday last. [communicated.] Mr. Editor : In reference to the selec tion of Commissioners and Trustees required by the uew educational bill, as suggested by ouo of your correspondents in your issue of tile 28th instant, I, as a Catholic and tax payer, would beg leave to ask the fol lowing Interrogation: Are Catholics so ignorant, or so indiffer ent as a class to the important question of education as to deserve to be excluded in the estimation of their non-Catholic fellow citizens from all participation therein? This question is suggested from the fact that in the late nomination of twenty-eight Commissioners and Trustees of Education, only one member of the Catholic Church is found in such enumeration. A Lover of Fair Play. | communication] Editor Constitutionalist: I see no move toward nominating the School Com missioners and Trustees. If we are uot up and doing perhaps we may have some officers that will be very repugnant to us. 1 would propose out of many others equally capable the names of Louis D. Duval and Joseph E. Burch lor Coinmisioners; Ander son Charmichael and Alfred W. Shaw for Trustees tor the 123d District, G. M. A Voter. Unsafe Illuminating Compound. —The recent report of the Fire Marshal of New York, shows that, in spite of daily warn ings, the loss of life and the number of fires caused by the dangerous compounds sold and used for illuminating purposes, under the names of kerosene, liquid gas, gasoline, patented gas, &c , are increasing at a fear ful rate. The Marshal says: During the year, there were 116 fires caused by kerosene, and 41 by liquid gas, gasoline, &c., making a total of 157 fires; being 18 per cent, of the aggregate number, and an Increase of 70 per cent, from last year. The number of lives lost by these was 17; an increase of 70. per cent, from lust year, thus showing that the loss of life increases in exact proportion to the number of fires. In this connection I take the liberty of referring to the able report ou “ the quality of kerosene oil sold in the Metropolitan District,” made by Prof. C. 11. Chandler, Chemist of the Metropolitan Board of Health, in January, 1869. The total number of samples collected from different, dealers iu the city by him was 636. Os these 21 were safe oils, and 615 or up wards of 96 per cent, of the total number dangerous and unsafe. In an article on “ Dangerous Kerosene ” In the American Chemist for October last, Prof. Chandler says: “Liquid gas Is the most dangerous oil now in use; it is simply pure naptha or benzine, a few per cent, of which left iu kerosene oil make it unsafe.” Aud yet we flud iu his report that seven samples of kerosene tested by him “ con tained from two to ninety per ceut. of ben zine, gasoline and naptha.” What punish ment is sufficiently severe for the fiend who thus deliberately spreads death aud de struction throughout the community, mur dering helpless women and children for a difference of 5 cents a gallon in the cost of dangerous and safe kerosene? Death of Captain William Cobrie.— This well known citizen of Char'eston died at the Mills House on Monday morning, about half-past 7 o’clock. For several weeks he had been suffering from an acute disease which threatened a fatal termina tion at auy moment, and the result was not therefore attended with surprise on the part of either his physician or his friends. Few men in this generation have lived a more eventful career than Capt. Corrie, and probably no civilian who has not oc cupied public position was more widely known. But acquaintances might be counted from Maiue to California, and they embraced many of the most distin guished men or the couutry. Born in Charleston about the year 1817, he re ceived a good English school education, and then entered upou commercial pur suits. Later in life, say about the year 1840, events called him to the City of Washington, where for nearly fifteen years lie wielded an influence among members of Congress so potent that he was regarded as one of the chiefs of the “lower house.” In this capacity, as a lobby member, he succeeded in securing the passage of seve ral important bills, involving the appro priation of large sums of money, and himself was liberally rewarded by those in whose behalf he acted. In one instance he received as a fee fifty thousand dollars, and altogether met with a pecuniary and political success quite unprecedented In hose days.- Charleston News. The Express Robbery—Capture of the Thief.—The perpetrator of the heavy robbery reported in our issue of day before yesterday—a negro man—was captured in this city yesterday morning, by one of the detectives of the Express Company, and the larger portion of the money recovered. It is believed that the balance will be re covered soon. The negro knew that the money was in the ear, and taking advan tage of the absence of the messenger from the car, entered and carried off the sale. This is but another evidence of the energy and vigilance of this company. They have a most admirable detective system, ex tending through the whole country, and are enabled, with the slightest clue given them, to detect unerringly every robbery, and arrest the offender. In t his instance no description was given of the person, and yet, but a few days have elapsed be tween the commission of the robbery and the capture of the, robber. This vigilance and promptness of action is proof of their efficient system of detectives. |" Mobile Register, 18th. Steamship Burned at Sea—The Wil mington (N. O.) Star, of Wednesday, says : A dispatch was received in this city yes terday, by Mr. Ould, Agent of theLorillard Steamship Line, from Mr. J. Loriilard, proprietor of the line, stating that the steamship Fairbanks, bound from Wil miugton to New York, had been burned at sea. The dispatch further stated that all hands were saved, but makes no mention of the precise time ot the disaster nor where it occurred. The Fairbanks cleared from Wilmington on the 19th, under command of Captain Howes, aud her cargo consisted of 94 casks spirits turpentine, 391 barrels rosin, 486 bales cotton,B33 bushels peanuts, 31 packages dried fruit and 8 packages merchandise. Wc clip the following from the Atlanta Constitution : As Mr. Larkin Davis was standing on Whitehall street, Saturday night, someone fired off a pistol through sport, and the ball struck the pavemeut and glanced and knocked off the end of one of Mr. Davis’ toes. We regret to learn that on Saturday night the merchant mills, store house, gin honse and cabinet shop of Hon. Lewis Nash, at Yellow river, in Gwinnett coon ty, were destroyed by Are. It was evident ly the work of incendiaries. Loss heavy. No insurance. It Is whispered in political circles that Captain Foster Blodgett and son have re tired from political life. William Carroll, of Gwinnett county, on Tuesday last, while ont rabbit hunting, met with a serions accident. He sat down on a log, and while putting his gun down on the ground the trigger caught in a root, cansiug the gnn to go off and lodge the con tents behind his ear. The skull was frac tured considerably, though the brain was not injured. [From the Macon Telegraph, 20th. Shocking Accident. It is our painfbl duty this morning to record one of the most shocking accidents that has occurred in this section for years. The facts, as related to ns by an eye wit ness, are about as follows : On Tuesday morning, about 11 o’clock, a party of gentlemen, composed of Messrs. W. Scott Clark, John Barclay, Dave Con nor, Dr. F. G. Castleo, Henry Ells, W. T. Nelson, George C. Napier and a colored man named Bob Banks, left here in three bateaus, on a duck-hunting excursion down the Ocmnlgee river. They had proceeded down the stream to what is known as Bullard’s, near Barclay’s plantation, when, on yesterday afternoon, about 2 o’clock, the boat in which Mr. Henry N. Ells and his servant, Bob Banks, were seated, l*e came capsized in the river, by running against a log floating down the stream. Mr. Ells clang to his boat., bnt Bob grasp ed the log and climbed upon it,. 8o soon as this oecnrred, the boat in which Messrs. Connor, Nelson and Napier were seated hurried to the assistance of Ells and the negro, and in the struggle to get them put of the water, this boat was also capsized, and the water was so intensely cold that the struggle was then for life on t e part of each individual, ar.d as clinging to the boats Ur such cold water was certain death, each man, except the negro, struck out for the banks. Messrs. Nelson and Conuor succeeded in reaching the opposite or east bank of the river, near Barclay’s planta tion, and after wading through a cane lireak and water waste deep, and through the ice In the swamp, they managed to find their way to Mr. Barclay’s house, after suf fering most terribly from the cold. From there they walked to the Macon and Bruns wick railroad station, and reached this city last evening. Mr. George Napier reached the bank on this side of the river, bnt as he got into a most dense cane brake, and near which there is no known settlement, the greatest fears are entertained for his life. Mr. Eds was seen by Messrs. Connor and Nelson, out in the rivir after they got ashore, and he called to them that he was going down, and to give his love to his wife and mother, and weut down. The colored man still clung to the float ing log, bat as he could not swim and was nearly frozen to death, no hopes are enter tained that he Is alive The foremost boat, in which were Messrs. Clarke. Barclay and Dr. Castlen, was sev eral miles below the scene of the accident when it occurred, and are uot yet aware, perhaps, of the tragic site of their friends. Mr. Ells Is well known all over Georgia, as the proprietor of the Ells Restaurant and fancy and general grocery store on Mulberry street, and for years has conduct ed the trade In Ice of this city. His death will be lamented by all who knew him.— God grant that after he was seeu to sink, he rose again and succeeded In reaching the shore, but there is no hope that he did so. A party of gentlemen will go down on the Brunswick road this morning to re cover the bodies, if possible, and to rescue Mr. Napier, if he Is still alive. Homicide at Boonville.— We regret to learn that a most unfortunate homicide, or murder, as the case may be, occurred yes terday at Boonville. A Mr. George Bull playfully persisted in an attempt to ride liis horse into Mr. J. C. Norris’ place of business, and was repeatedly told not to do so, or he would get shot. As the parties had always been good friends Bull paid little or no attention to such remonstrances, and still persisted in urging his horse for ward, when Norris becoming exasperated, seized a shot gun and killed him. [Macon. Telegraph , 29 th. Cotton Burned.— On the night of the 25th instant, three cars, containing about 150 bales of cotton, were burned at Belton, on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. The cotton was owned by parties in Ander son, S. C. They will not suffer by the fire, as the road has an open policy which will cover their loss. The cause of! the* fire is not stated. Temperance Men admit its Utility.—No attempt lias ever been m >de or ever will be, made. to dieguise the character o f Plantation Bitters. It contains alcohol; and no Bitters that do not contain alcohol are worth a tush. Water will neither preserve the virtue, of tonic vegetables nor render them active to the sys tem. This is a ebemied fact which no one competent to deliver an opinion on the subject will deny. Water tonics turn son- on the stomach, if they are uot sonr to begin with, (which is frequently the case), and produce an t promote Indigestion, instead of curing it. Let it therefore he distinctly undeistood that Plan tation Bitters is an alcohol restorative But mark this: it is strict y a medicine, not a I leverage. It is to be takcu in limited quanti ties and at stated times, like other remedies and therefore its use is in accordance wiih temper ance law, as well as with that “higher law” which renders it incumbent upon every being gifted with reason to resort to the best poasible means of accomplishing a salutary end.

C., * Dr. ST. JULIEN RAVENEL, CHEMIST AND SUPERINTENDENT. JOHN S. REESE & CO., jSeneral Agents, No. 10 South Street, Baltimore, Maryland. OoTTON BEED, as is well known to all who have given attention to the subject, abounds Ik Ammonia. It affords an abundant a- debeap source of that essential element o( fertility. It deficient iu all the other elements necessary to a good fertilizer; lienee, when applied to crops without the proper addition of Soluble Phosphoric Acid and other fertilizing substances, It Is not il complete fertilizer. In order to utilize Cotton Seed as a source of Ammonia for the above purposes, the PACIFIC GUANO COMPANY lias brongbt into market uu article under the above trade mark expressly for composting with Cotton Seed. The Compound Acid Phosphate of Lime contains Soluble Phosphoric Acid, and the other Elements required, except Ammonia; hence, when composted with Colton Seed, as directed below, the Ammonia is supplied, aud a perfect fertilizer is obuiued, at the lowest cost to the Planter. The Compound Acid Phosphate, for composting. Ac., is manufactured at the Company’s ? Porks, near Charleston, 8. C., under the personal direction and superintendence of Dr. St. ullen Ravenel, Chemist, &c ; hence, the integrity of its composition may be relied upon. DURKCTIONTS FOR COMPOSTING. To prepare the Compost—Take a given weight of Cotton Seed, which can be readily done ty ascertaining the weight of a basket well tilled, and nsing it as a measure for the given weight. bus: Measure out, for example, 400 lbs.; after wetting it well, empty upon it an equal weight Sf Aeld Phosphate, say two sacks of 200 lbs. each ; after mixing well with hoes or shovels, pack into a heap and repeat the operation, enlarging the heap to any desired extout. The Compost heap may be placed in a pen made with rails, to support the sides of tho 6 ass, simply covering the top with boards lapping each other, to conduct, off the rain. Noth g further is reqaired, until the proper time for application arrives. In this manner the Compost may be easily made, and its effects cannot fail to givo the highest satisfaction, while its ecouOmy must commend it to general use. The most suitable time to make tile Compost is when tho Seed comes from tho gin. The longer the heap is allowed to lay uudistnrbed the better, as it can lose none of its value, and the decomposition will be more thoroughly affected. If not convenient to be made at time of ginning, it will be sufficiently decomposed in from three to six weeks. * By decomposition of the Seed in contact with the Arc'd Phospha'e, there can be no I«3S of Ammonia, as is the er e with the ordinary rotting of Cotton Seed. Tae whole of its Ammonia is securely held until liberated in the soil. By reason of the bulk of Cotton Seed, it is available for forailizing purposes only on the plantations ; and to be made capable of its highest utility must be used as here proposed. The Compos', when made, is applied as oilier fertilizers. Compost prepared with Compouud Acid Phosphate of Lime and Cotton Seed, as above, was used to some extent last season, with satisfactory results. j CASH PRICE, $45; TIME, $52 50, without interest, payable November Ist, 1871, Factor’s Acceptance.
