Two fine deer, which were the property of the late Mr. L. W. Isbell, are kept In the Planters’Warehouse. They have be come quite tame, and are made great pets. Yesterday little Jimmie Isbell, fooling a strong desire to display his skill in the use of his favorite weapon, the Alabama sling, put a buckshot in it, and took a very careful aim at one of the pots, and let fly.

It far excels everything in the shape of cotton ever brought to t his market, and we wish every farmer in the State could call upon the agent, Mr.S. Z. Murf>hy,and got some of the seed. The stalk on exhi bition is almost, a solid mass of that sta ple. It is pronounced by planters the very best variety known, both in product and lint. When matured the stalks are six foot In height and literally covered with bolls as many as forty frequently on one limb. One planter says of this variety that it has more than met his expecta tions, and that he would not be without it for $5 per hundred seed. The agent, Mr. Murphy, comes recom mended by the best men in the State, and offers yon no fancy humbug. He will l>e in the city at the Halford House for a few days. Our farmers will do well to Invest, for then they can get more money out of cot ton with less labor and expense. It is time that the farmers were learning the advan tage of such things. The cotton seed are grown in Georgia, and carefully selected.

Roger Lynn, the negro who killed an other negro whom he fotand in his house some months ago, was yesterday arrested by the Sheriff of ltussell county, Ala. The deed was committed in Russell County, and the Grand Jury found a true bill not long since. At that time Roger was free. After the true bill was found, ho came over to Columbus. Ho was air rested and confined live days by the au thorities, being all the while subject to a requisition from the Governor of Alabama. The lawf\d time for his confinement expir ed on Tuesday, and Roger was released. Yesterday morning the Sheriff of Russell county arrived in the city, bringing with him the necessary requisition. He found Roger and arrested him. He carried his prisoner to Scale yesterday afternoon. We understand that Roger is very hopeful, and that the general opinion of the people who live near the scene of the killing is in favor of the prisoner, as they think him justifiable in what he did. We t hink he is to be tried very soon. a splendid lot of white and Red AF- Wool Flannels, Brown and Bleached Can ton flannels, Opera Flannels, in all shades, to be closed out cheap, at fob!4 d&wlf J.

Yesterday afternoon at 2 O’clock, the Superior Court room was filled with a crowd of spectators, who was anxious to hear the evidence In the preliminary trial of Peter Finnegan, charged with the mur der of Charles H. Wilding. The prisoner sat by himself and looked about lilm with a vacant stare. He seem ed to be in bad spirits and looked very rnoody. Justices J. M. McNeill, Michael McCahey, and T. J. Shivers took their places on the stand, and all were ready for the progress of the trial. Solicitor Little announced that ho was ready to proceed. No counsel up pea red for the defense. Messrs. Russell A Russell assisted In the prosecution. Solicitor Little asked the Court to con tinue the case as ho had just discovered that there was some very important tes timony which had just boon procured, and which would throw great light on the cose. This evidence could be obtained by this morning. He also wished a contln ance for the sake of the prisoner, who had no counsel present. Justice McNeill wished tho case to come up next Mon day, If It was postponed at all. He will leave tho city for several days this morn ing. It was thought best by Solicitor Little to have the trial this morning, and so it was determined, as Finnegan did not ob ject. The warrant was made out. It charges in the name of Fcderick Wilding, that Peter Finnegan murdered Charles If. Wilding, on the 16fch Inst. The prelimina ry trial will be field this morning at 10 o’clock before Justices McCahey, Phillips, and Shivers.

We heartily wish that all our citizens felt tho same interest in tho groat matter of caring for the poor and needy as tho Doctor has manifested. It is j time that the people should consider this | question carefully. It is no objection to ! any proposed mode of rolief to Ray that wo are not able to adopt it. Wo can adopt some plan that will cost loss. One thing I is always certain wo can do something. | While we have plenty to eat and to wear, ; and aro sheltered from the rigors of the I weather, we cannot truthfully say that we > are not able to help those who are suffer- j Ing for the want of these blessings. The only difficulty is found in our unwilling ness. It causes a desperate struggle for some people to give away anything. They j invariably look for value received. Agra-! tuitouscontribution is to them the most] foolish waste. The grand object of their existence is to horde up a treasure, to amass wealth, and having shut out the world and forgotten all the duties which they owe to their fellows, to enjoy it in lone and unmolested selfishness. When such a life attains the climax of success it has reached a most miserable failure. When a man has an abundance and refuses to give to those that are in destitution, ho is to be pitied; but when tlie same man ridicules the efforts of others to relieve suffering he is deserving of contempt. If you are not willing to contribute one mite to relieve suffering, for the sake of the suf ferer, do not prevent others from doing so* If your fists are too close to.aid iu the good work, do be so kind as not to stand by and jeer at the labors of nobler men than yourself. Do as little for the poor as you please, hold your dollars just as tight as you please, count your thousands just as often as you please, stop your ears to every pleading cry, but do not insist that the whole world ahull lay aside its convic tions and bo stingy with you. That is tusk ing too much. If the request came from the other party it might be adopted with profit. If you want Ladies’or Misses’ Hose, in medium or extra length, very cheap, go to febu d&wtf J. J.

A mule team tried to runaway with a hoary dray, yesterday, on St. Clair street. They succeeded to tho extent of smashing two wheels and breaking the axletree. A negro was hauling a load of furniture along tlie same street, when his horse be came frightened and commenced running. At almost every jump some article of fur niture would drop off and invariably break. : Tlie poor driver was quite disconsolate, ! and when his horse stopped in his wild ca reer, he looked back over the street, and when he saw it covered with furniture, he lifted up his voice and cussed.

I am a member of— Church, but as I have been living out of the city for the past 1 year or two, I have not attended my own church in that time. I have thought of ; applying to some of tho sisters for work, ■ but am so complete a stranger, that I ra ther feared to do so. But sines I saw your t kind mmmunicat ion, I have concluded to ] see or write you. I have a remote pros-; pect of a school the Ist of April, but whatj must I do in the meantime? There are] several things I could make a living at, if ] I could only get the work. I am a good teacher; I am very neat with my needle; lam a good nurse for the sick. Doctor, I am not a subject of charity. I only want. to get work, and lobe i>aul a living price; for It. Please answer and oblige Yours, very respectfully, P.

Mr. Fditor: In your article of yesterday on tho subject of “what we need in Colum- j bus,” your remarks should at once arrest 1 the attention and arouse to action the best I efforts of our property-holders and citizens j generally to a consummation of your im- j portant suggestions, which are very gen erally indorsed by property owners, mor- ‘ chants and all others interested in the j fut ure welfare of our city. I heard two or j throe property holders say they would j cheerfully pay 10 per cent, on the value <f 1 their property toward buying a square and : giving it to the railroads for this purpose. A number of good merchants say they are willing to pay a heavy tax to get the pas senger depot in the heart of the-city. Would it not be well for the city to cur tail its exponas, in some practicable way, j and for a few thousand dollars purchase a desirable location? Let a united effort be at once made, and if successful my word for it that our city will no more lx? called a way-station. In the name of the citizens of Columbus I thank you, Mr. Editor, for your timely and sensible article on this subject, and hope that you will continue your good efforts in that direction* Merchant. Why It U. The American Newspaper Advertising Agency of Geo. P.

They evidently receive their reward, fbt we have tt from a reliable source that advertising orders issued by them for thqir customers have excelled three thousand dollars a day since the commencement of the year, and this is not a very good year for advertising either. Mayor*# Court. His Honor, pro tan., T. E. Blanchard, held a good-sized Court yesterday morn ing. There was quite a crowd of specta tors in attendance and all seemed pro foundly interested. Three cases were called and disposed of in a very business-like way. Charlie Reader and Harriet Reader, were very disorderly on last Saturday. Harriet ’s offense seemed to be very light, and she was therefore dismissed. Charlie had not been summoned and therefore his case was uot passed upon. Lucinda Harris and Harriet Reader had a gentle little tight a few days since. They were both somewhat to blame, and were fined $2.50 apiece. Mary Howard, a rough-looking colored damsel, who has boon before the Mayor’s tribunal several tithes of late, was again exhibited yesterday morning. No wit nesses appeared aud she was dismissed.
