Tliis establishment has been in continuous operation since about the first of December, Yielding, daily, some thirty tons of the finest Railroad bars. We understand that the large orders on hand, are being filled with the ut most dispatch. To all who feel an interest in Atlanta, or, indeed, in Southern enterprise generally, it will he gratifying to learn that this Mill is no longer an experiment. The healing of a temporary dissension between the proprietors, which grew out of a slight mis- nnderstanding, has removed the last obstacle to its permanence and prosperity. Look Oat. We are informed by the Deputy Marshal that the Mayor has issued orders for the stationing of a policeman at each of the Churches, whose business it is to arrest any person chewing to bacco or smoking and spitting upon the steps of the Church. This is a most salutary ar rangement, anil one which we hope the police will enforce to the letter, without favors or af fection. Wc know the Mayor will receive the thanks and kind wishes of the ladies for this arrangement. So look out boys, or the first you know you will he in the Guard House. We dip the above from the Columbus Sun. While we regret the existence of a state of tilings in onr sister city, which calls for such stringent remedies, we are gratified that the public authorities of that city have taken this matter in hand. Columbus has made some pre tentions to being a very pious place. We doubt, very capitally, whether any city in the. State lias expendeil more money, in the erec tion of church edifices, age being considered, than our sister city, Columbus. Atlanta has a number of buildings dedicated to the wor ship of the living God, and though we are rep resented in certain quarters as a heathenish people, due respect is paid to our religious in stitutions, and we have not yet been reduced to the necessity of employing a police force at any of our places of public worship, to preserve due order and decorum. Baillca’ Union Benevolent Society. Wc feel no hesitation in calling special at tention to a communication, which appears in our columns to-day, in reference to the above named institution. We iiave, on a former oc casion, spoken in terms most unequivocal of our approbation of the objects and designs of tlic ‘‘Ladies’ Union Benevolent Society,” of this city. Wc reiterate all we have said in reference to tliis subject. We conceive it to be one of the most praiseworthy institutions, not only in this city, hut any where or every where else. The widow’s tears and the or phan's cry, always strike a chord in our heart, which thrill through it in a most intense de gree. We shall ever feel happy, in contribu ting our means, small though they be, pecu niarily, or in our capacity as editor, to the promotion of such benevolent purposes as those which tho “Ladies’ Union Benevolent Society” iiave in contemplation. Wc tender our grateful acknowledgments to the members of this Society, for the honor they have con ferred upon the writer of this article, by elect ing him an “honorary member” thereof. Our Bill. Mysteriously disappeared on the 7tli inst., the editor of this paper. It is not known, as yet, whither he is tracing his foot-steps, hut it is generally believed that he is making his way towards the “State of Matrimony.” If that l>e his destination, wo hope lie may soon return with a “blooming beauty” by his side, to cheer hiR heart in the hour of despondency, and to lighten with her radiant smiles the on erous duties of an editorial life. N. B.—When last heard from, he was on the road leading due cast. Wc clip the alxivc from the Lawrencevillc “News,” of its last issue. Well, wc think that will do. The idea of “Bill,” as the wri ter designates him, iierjiotmting matrimony, astonishes us. lie has, doubtless, been con sulting Ben Franklin’s theory of early marri ages. But we think that in speaking of early marriages, Franklin had no idea of encoura ging young men, who had not passed from their mother’s leading strings, to commit this rash ac t. We iiave no doubt our cotemporary is a smart young man, and worthy of any young lady who might take a fancy to him. But the idea of a man offering to vote the Dem ocratic ticket, who h;u> a wife and one or two children, and some Know-Nothing Bully with a bludgeon in band, standing at the polls, to challenge his vote, is horrible to contemplate. Wc hope our youthful colcmporary of the News, “will abide awhile,” at some place which shall now be nameless, aiul “let his beard grow,” before lie commits the rash act, which his locum tenens indicates. state. The word talented may be a little too strong, hut we use it, with all the responsi bility which attaches. Well we say that the fact of Judge Jackson’s residing in Athens, is not a sufficient reason, of itself, to justify the Democracy of his district in superseding him, even by the promotion of our good friend, Strickland. Judge Jackson has been in Con gress but a short time; he is a young man, and unless some charge of derelection of duty, or abandonment of principle can be fixed upon him, let him have another trial Col. Strick land is a young man. Let him go to the Sen ate from Forsyth County, two or tlyee years more and when Judge Jackson retires, then let him come in. “These are our senti ments as Gen. Clinch remarked on a memor able occasion. Extravagance or the present Admin istration. Much has been said by the opposition prints as well as some Democratic Journals, professing devotion to the Democratic Party, in reference to the extravagant expenditures of the pres ent administration of the General Government. While we avow ourself the friend and advo cate of Mr. Buchanan’s administration, we cannot suffer ourself to be blind to its faults. Disavowing any intention of uniting in the hue and cry, raised by the Black Republican and Know-Nothing prints, as well as the disaf fected Democrats, against Mr. Buchanan’s ad ministration, it is due to the press which is in clined to sustain the administration, to furnish them with the data, by which we may defend them against the attacks of their enemies. As to Mr. Cobb’s abilities as a financier, we are not prepared to speak. We know, however, that he cannot absolutely control the action of Congress, how muehsoever his opinions and recommendations may tend 1n that direction. The Congress of the United States controls the expenditures of the Government, and the Sec retary of the Treasury as well as the Presi dent, has to conform to the action of the Leg islative department of the Government, in reference to this particular. We are inclined to the opinion that injustice has been done to Mr. Buchanan and Secretary Cobb, in charging them with extravagance. They have no pow er to control the -action of Congress, which body determines upon the appropriations made in the way of expenditures. The Democratic party claim to he an economical party, confin ing the expenditures of the government with in the limits of the revenue. If the present administration lias exceeded tliis limit, it ought to be held to a rigid accountability for its conduct. We do not expect by this remark that our adversaries will derive any benefit from the default of the present administration, provided any has occurred. There are men of the Democratic party, and a plenty of them, who are capable of administering the Excheq uer of the government prudentially and eco nomically. Such men, it should be the. poli cy of the party to place in command, at the next Democratic nomination. Such men, we believe, will be selected, and if the present ad ministration lias erred in this respect, it must take care of itself. Wo must endeavor to place lietter financiers at the head of affairs in the future. Sixth Congressional District. As an act of courtesy, to the author, we pub lish to-day, a communication in reference to the nomination of a Democratic candidate for the Gtli Congressional District. We are well acquainted with Judge Jackson, and Col. Strickland; have served with them both in the Legislative councils, of our state, and feel no hesitation in vouching for them both as gentlemen, in the strictest sense of that term, and as Democrats of the purest stripe—men that we should never feel any hesitation, in trusting our rights and our honor to their keeping. Wc are however inclined to tho opin ion, that our friend Col. Strickland will not favor the views of the writer of the communication under consideration. We are advised and believe that Col. Strickland is the friend of Col. Jackson, and would not suffer liis name to be used, to distract the harmony of the Democratic party of his district or to thwart the prospects or Judge Jackson. Wo agree with our correspondent, in all he says in commendation of Col. Strickland. Yea, if ho liad said more than he has said in behalf of that gentleman, we could have cheerfully en dorsed it. As to what he says aliout thc place of Col. Jackson’s residence we are inclined to ympathise with him. Athens has, ever since the days of our earliest recollection, set up pretensions to the right of regulating the pub lic affairs of this state, to which wc think she was never entitled. True, the potency of “King Caucus,” who in days “langsyne” held his head quarters at this “Beat of learning,” has been broken down, by the adoption of the Convention plan, yet in their local affairs, Athens still continues, to exercise a controll ing influence. It is J udge Jackson s misfor tune, not his fault that he lives in Athens. We hope our friends of the “Banner,” will not come down upon us, “like a thousand of brick” for thitfexpression. We know that there are as clever, good and talented men living in Athens, as in any other town or city in our Harmony among the Georgia Democrney. Tliis is a consummation devoutly to be wished for, by every true Georgia Democrat. We do not wish to be understood, that there is anything like an alarming want of this state of tilings among our Democratic breth ren in Georgia. So far as principle is concerned we believe our party a unit. As regards men there seems to be a diversity of opinion. Gov. Brown, when lie came into office, “having no pledges to redeem,” pursued his own line of policy in makiag his appointments. In doing this thing, lie struck some hard licks. The result has proven that “the Republic has suf fered no detriment” by the policy marked out by him. Though individuals had good cause of complaint against the course ho pursued, yet the Democratic party and the country generally are well satisfied with his action.— Efforts are being made by the opposition, to fan the flames of discord, kindled by the action of the Governor. Malcontents and noncen- tents are emboldened by the action of the op position party to sow the seeds of distention in our ranks. Tliis we hold to be all wrong. It would l>e difficult, for the most disaffected to show, wherein Gov. Brown has violated any cardinal principle of the Democratic party, either by any ot his official acts, or by any of his appointments. His appointees so far as we know are Democrats of the pure stamp. And while we think other men of the party, were more deserving of his favor, than those selected yet we must in a proper spirit of liberality, be permitted to say, tiiat lie had the perfect right, in the exercise of a sound discretion, to make his own selections, according to the dic tates of his own judgment, and none had rea son to find fault. We hold that there should be no heart-burnings on this account. The friends of Gov. Johnson and of Judge John H. Lumpkin, to which class u-e belong, ought In our opinion, to give Gov. Brown's adminis tration a hearty support, 60 long as that ad ministration pursues the line of policy it has nitlierto done, except his Rink veto message, in which there was no party principle involved. And the immediate friends of Gov. Brown, should extend to these distinguished men of ( the party, the right hand of fellowship, and cordially support them in any of their politi cal aspirations. Wc would say the same in reference to the friends of Col. Gardner and of Judge Lamar. The contest in the convention of 1857, should be among the things that were. We had the honor of being a member of that convention and to the utmost of our ability, endeavored to promote the nomination of the Hon. John H. Lumpkin. We failed in our first choice, but when Gov. ffftHvn as a com promise man became the nominee of the par ty, wc lent all our aid to secure his election. We can now conceive no good reason, why there should not be a general amnesty among the friends of those several aspirants for gu bernatorial honors. Every tiling is to be lost and nothing to be gained by fostering the feelings which that contest engendered. Each of the distinguished rivals, who entered the lists, in the controversy to which allusion has been made, are favorites with the party, and in due time will no doubt, receive those hon ors, to vhich their personal merits, and their deration to the principles of our party entitle them. Hence we say, let there be unanimity among our friends. In union there is strength, and we say to all our political friends, beware of the efforts of the Know Nothings, and dis affected Democrats to sow the seeds oi discord among onr party friends. HP We had the pleasure of an interview, on yesterday, at our sanctum, with Mr. J. H. Morefield, Editor of the American Citizen, at West Point. Friend Morefield looks hard and solid, and sensible enough to have made a good Democrat, lie fore this time. We most ardently wish our Southern Editors would all get right, so that our trumpets might all give the same sound, and not distract our people. But we must be patient, and let truth do her perfect work. It takes some longer than others to shed the old skins of Whiggery and Know-Nothingism. It's got to come, gentlemen, and you may as well strip at once, and relate a good experience, and join the Democratic church. The eleventh hour is rapidly approaching.—Atlanta Intelligencer. Not quite so fast, brother Gaskill. Wc hope we are “solid” enough to understand what we are doiqg before we -go into a party, and when convinced that we are right, ‘firm’ enough “the right to defend.” Tlius it has been with us in the advocacy of what you are pleased to term “Whiggery and Know Noth- ingism.” We feel a special pride in having been “sensible” enough to steer clear of mod ern democracy, for in its zeal for the glitter ing spoils it has taken off some who make greater pretensions than we ever expect to make. As to getting right, we think our friend ought to be particutar in advising his brethren—in other words, ought to be sure he is right himself. Doubtless he thought he was right when he advocated that “Whiggery and Know Nothingism” which he now de nounces with such vehemence; hut it seems that he was wrong then , and he may be wrong again, and we hope he will ^discover his error anil repent of his democratic sooner than he did of his “Whigand Know-Nothing” sins, for if he does not lie will hardly be able to “relate an experience” that will “pass cur rent” with anj' orthodox church; and recol lect, brother Gaskill, that if you intend to re turn to your “first love,” now ts the time, for our churcli may be full before 1800—for the people arc beginning to sec that the devil lias a bill of sale of democracy—and you may be too late.—American Citizen. Some things are so solid as hardly to be im pressible. May not the “American Citizen” be alittle too “solid f Attempting “to steer clear of modem democracy.” Friend Moore- field, in what direction have you pointed your compass ? Are you aware of your soundings ? Have you any harbor where you propose to cast anchor? Have you any “sensible,” or ganized political notions, in common with any living party, such as you may hope to use for the benefit of your country ? Or rather, like a certain loafer, of whom we once read, arc you not “just sloshing around to see what will turn up” against the Democracy ? Oh no, Bro. M. it never happened, that “A« advoca ted” Know-Nothingism. “He” was one among the first in his community to denounce No-Nolhingism, when it first proclaimed itself as believing in a God. 'Ihere is some excuse for a man who belonged to the obi Henry Clay whig party. It rallied under its banner, some of the noblest and most gifted spirits of its land. Its leader, was a leader, “what is a leader.” But the grave that closed over the sage of Ashland” closed over the whig party We were raised under the influence of Henry Clay Whiggery. But strong as that influence was and much as we respected it. when we came to take part in public affairs, in the more active and responsible duties of part}' la bor we found ourself working with the so-called Fire-eating Democrats. We worked earnest ly—we worked hopefully—we have seen our principles prevail in our national assemblage. We would not “return” to Whiggery if we could and we could not if we would, for it was buried with its Father. “Requiescat in pace.” As for Know Nothingism, “the devil” has no need of a bill of sale to that. He has it in peaceable possession with no outstanding claimant. For the Atlanta Intelligencer. Col. Gaulding.—As you have very kindly offered us the use of your columns, for any thing affecting the interests of the “Ladies Union Benevolent Society,” I herewith avail myself of that offer, to “plead the cause of tho poor and needy.” My object is, to solicit donations of money, food, fuel, or clothing—either new or second hand. Any material aid of this kind, will be thankfully received, and cheerfully distribu ted according to our best judgment, and our appreciation of the wants of our beneficiaries. Our Society numbers about sixty members (perhaps more, I do not know the exact num. her) whose admission fee is one dollar each per year. This gave us a fund to commence with when we organized last April. But with this only, we should have been bankrupt long since. Our hearts are large, and our hands open, and thanks to the liberal monthly contributions of many of our gentlemen friends, (honorary members) not entirely empty. From this list we realize an income of $22,75 per month.— Perhaps many of these contributors may be ready to say, “I give as much as I feel able, to this cause, already. Tliis Society is like the horse-leech, which hath two daughters crying give, give—never satisfied.” Ah! my friends we have not two, but many daughters of desti tution and suffering, who are continually crying give. And new cases are constantly coming to our notice—cither reported by those who arc already beneficiaries, or sought out by our relief committee—cases that are enough to make us think of the destitute, as we sit around our well filled tables, or comfortable fires. We would not be considered as speaking at all disparagingly of our present contributions, for wc think they do honoi * *0 the heads, as well as hearts of their donors, but we know there must be many generous hearted individ uals, who have not given any thing, simply lJecause tho subject has never been presented to them, and many families who could spare a trifle from tlicir abundant stores, and nev er feel the poorer for it. We have under our care about fifteen fami lies, numbering in the aggregate between six ty and seventy persons, who are most of them regular recipients of the benefits of onr Socie ty. More than half of these are widows, the others, worse than widows, having, besides their children, infirm or disabled husbands to support. When the amount of our monthly income is considered, it will be seen we can not aid any one to any great extent. There fore, I repeat it, donations of any thing that can possibly be made useful in rendering the destitute more comfortable, will be gladly re ceived. Mrs. Judge Ezzard, Mrs. J. N. Beach, Mrs. George Robinson, Mrs. R. B. Lester, Mrs. S. Root, or Mrs. Rich’d Peters, will receive any donations that may bo sent in. A JicW National Democratic Paper. Washington, Feb. 7.—It is stated that Messrs. Forsyth and Pryor are about to take charge of a national Democratic journal in New Fork with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars. For the Atlanta Intelligencer. Th* Sixth Congeraalonal District—Hon. Hardy Strickland, of Forsyth. Mr. Editor :—The time is approaching for assembling of another Democratic Convention at Gainesville, to nominate a candidate for Congress, to represent the Sixth District at the next Session; and, although some time will elapse before that Convention meets, I submit it is not too soon for the Democracy of the District to begin to think upon the sub ject, and consider the claims of the several gentlemen whose names will be submitted as worthy of a nomination for the seat to be made vacantjby the expiration of the term of the present incumbent, the Hon. Jas. Jackson, of the town of ?Athens. In connection with this Convention, and the nomination of a candidate to be made by it, allow me to suggest the name of Hon. Hardy Strickland, of the County of Forsyth, asa gen tleman every way qualified to succeed J udge Jackson, and, who, if elected, would reflect credit on theJDistrict by an efficient, honest, and faithful representation of its interest, and the interests, honor, and dignity of the whole State, in the halls of legislation at Washington. Mr. Strickland is a Democrat tried and true, of the Jefferson and Jackson school; and if he would not make quite as many speeches, for Buncombe, as others might, his acts and votes on all questious would be characterized by a cor rect judgment and an unwavering constancy in the defence and advocacy of the right, in oppo sition to wrong,—the true lest, after all, of wise, legislation and of genuine statesmanship. Mr. Strickland lias long been prominently before the public as Senator or Representative in the General Assembly of Georgia, from the county of Forsyth, and his efficient services have fully established his character as a wise, and safe, and trustworthy legislator for the people, and abundantly illustrated the truth of all 1 have claimed above in his behalf. The writer voted for Judge Jackson, and has nothing to object to him, as a man, or his ser vices as a representative. I here suggest the name of Mr. Strickland without the knowledge of this gentleman. I do not know that he wants the nomination. I dq not know that he has any aspirations to succeed Judge Jack- son as a representative of this District, nor do I know whether ho would accept the nomina tion if unanimously tendered him by the Gainesville Congressional Convention. I have this objection to urge, lr wever, a- gainst Judge Jackson, and in favor of Mr. Strickland. I object to Judge Jackson’s rc- nomination because he is of Athens. The Dis trict, every since its organization, has invaria bly been represented by gentlemen residing at that place. The case of Judge Hillycr is no exception to tliis asseveration. He was a resi dent of Athens at the time of his first nomina tion and election to Congress from this Dis trict ; at the date of his second candidacy and election he had removed to Monroe, in Walton county, where he then resided. This is my information and no doubt true. I go as well for “rotation” in office as for “ rotation ” in the couuty, from which such of ficers shall be selected, especially in the mat ter of Congressional representatives. Athens, and all the Democracy of Athens, have long enough enjoyed the honor and glory of furnish ing the candidate and representative from this District to be satisfied and fully satiated. There arc material out of which a suitable can didate and representative can be moulded and fashioned outside of Clark oounty, and it is for the people of the several counties composing the District—it Ls for the genuine Democracy of those other counties to say whether these materials shall be brought into requisition and worked up or not. It is, to say the least of it, about time that the feelings, wishes, and claims of the people of the outskirts of the District should be considered and consulted. We all know the bitter strife and turmoil that resulted from the deliberations and action of the last Gainesville Convention. This can be avoided and the Democracy of the several counties in tho District should see to it that it shall be avoided at the next election For this purpose meetings should he called in'every county, on a clay certain, and full and fair no tice should be given of the time and place of such meeting, to nominate and appoint dele gates to the Convention at Gainesville. Let the Convention meet, and free from all outside preasureand influence from any quarter of the District; let the merits and claims o all the candidates, from any ami every county in the District, be fully and fairly discussed and canvassed, and let the Convention decide between the aspirants for nomination on which particular one the distinction shall fall; Let him be nominated fairly, after which, the Democracy of the District will yield a ready, hearty, and cordial acquiescence in the deliber ations and decision of the Convention, and act and vote accordingly. Thus can unanimity be secured, and he is “no prophet, nor son of a prophet’ ’ who can fail to presage the re sult of the election on the first Monday of Oc tober next. With Joseph E. Brown for Governor, and Hardy Strickland, of Forsyth for Congress, the old “Sixth” will roll up a majority for the Democracy of at least six thousand votes. HABBERSHAM. A MEMBER. Dreadful Casuaity.—Miss Zoa Pearson, daughter of Mrs. Maria Pearson, (widow of Jacob Pearson, Esq.,) was so badly burned on last Saturday, the 22d ult., that she died on Monday morning following. We have been unable to gather the full paiticulars, but have heard that her clothes were ignited accidently from the fire-place and before assistance could be rendered she was hopelessly injured. She was between eleven and twelve years of age. The accident occurred about two miles from our town.—[Clairbome Cliampion. |jf* A lawyer at Lowell, having found nine ty-five dollars, and returned the money to tho owner, one of the papers says the act may ic honest and honorable, but it is exceedingly unprofessional. Serious Affair. On Saturday night last, between 12 and 1 o’clock, a man by the name of Michael Hig gins, a blacksmith by trade, was heard to fall down an outside stairway leading to the sec ond story rooms of a house on Bridge Row, oc cupied by a Mrs. Smith and family, and Miss Harriet Hatcher and Miss Matilda Dearing.— The back part of Higgins’ skull had two breaks in it, from which he bled profusely.— He is not dead, but has not vet. sufficiently re covered his senses to be able to tell any thing about the affair. Traces of blood were found from the bottom of the steps to the door of Mrs. Smith. The case was investigated yesterday, before Justices Hutchins and Turman, in the course of which a number of witnesses were exam ined, but no testimony was adduced sufficient to connect any one with the foul deed. Mr. H. is an Irishman by birth, but has re sided, we understand, for some time in Roun- dout, Ulster county, New York, where, we are informed, he has a family.—[Columbus Sun. Oar ktrannab Camapondcnce. Savannah, Feh. 9tb, 1859. Messrs. Editors :—Do you remember a piece of Longfellow’s, commencing “How beautiful is the rain ?” Well, if the poet were here now, I think he would apply quite another adjec tive to it, especially if, like some of us, he was obliged to be out in it, traveling up and down and across the Bay. It has been rain and mud, and then more rain, until the climax seems almost reached. The grand Masonic process ion is to come off to-morrow, and the faces of our Masonic friends have lengthened as the weather lowered, until this morning, many of them look as black and forbidding as the heav ens above. However, there is a chance for clear weather to-morrow, and rain or no rain, there will be the expected ceremonies in the Hall, winding up with a grand ball at night. I should say “Assembly,” as that title was given it to avoid hurting the feelings of some who wished to attend, but did not relish the idea of going to a “Ball.” A number of the dignitaries of the order are now in this city, in obedience to the call of the Grand Master, for the purpose of establishing a uniform system of work throughout the State. Among those whom I have seen are the four Deputy Grand Masters, and Bros. F. W. McCurdy and John T. Palmer, two of the Grand Lecturers. Oth ers will probably be here to-day .and to-mor row, from various parts of the State, to unite in the ceremonies of the day. My remarks in the last letter upon tht im perfections of the new Directory, have been endorsed by almost the unanimous voice of our citizens. The number of the “Intelligen cer” containing that letter, was received here before the issue of the work, and when the book came out, many were exercising their cu riosity to know- whether the compilers aud printers had been slandered or not. So much has been said on it, that Messrs. John M. Cooper & Co. have found it necessary to ex cuse themselves to their friends by saying they were not responsible for the work in any man ner, but this seems to me a very lame excuse, as no good printer would suffer his imprint to be on a book so full of errors in spelling not only names but words. The*same parties are now printing a Directory for Augusta, which will also be full of errors, if the two pages I have seen are a fair sample. The gentlemen having in charge the Burns’ Festival, at St. Andrew’s Hall, from which re porters were excluded, are about to make some amend to the public, by issuing in pamphlet form, a report of the toasts and speeches on that occasion. This is all well enough in its way, but I still think that the exclusion of re porters, and the imposition of a tax of $5 up on the Editors of our papers, was an act of sin gular discourtesy to the press, and one which, I am happy to say, is not often witnessed in this city. Mr. John Stoddard has accepted the designs submitted to him by Mr. Norris, the architect, for the remodelling of the buildings on his two wharves, just east of the Exchange, which I mentioned in a previous letter. The build ing, when completed, will be two stories in height on the Bay, and five on the river front, with a front of two hundred feet, making room for eight ranges of counting-rooms. Mr. Wm. B. Hodgson has instructed the same architect to proceed with the rebuilding of the stores on his wharf, west of the Exchange, which, when completed, will be of the same height as the adjoining ones, and present a uniform front of three hundred feet. A sale of New Orleans Sugar, Sugar House Syrup and Whiskey was made at Auction, on Monday, which was well attended by city and county buyers. The Sugar brought 8 3-8 @ 8 7-8 ; Syrup 25 1-2 (th, 31, and the Whiskey 32 cents, at (50 and 90 days and 4 months. The U. S. District Court is now in session, and the trial of tho parties implicated in the Wanderer affair, will probably come up at this term. I notice by the New York papers, that at the last meeting of the Yacht Club, Capt. Corrie was unanimously expelled, and the name of the Wanderer struck from the list. Among the cases coming up before the Su perior Court of this county, now in session, are seven of murder or manslaughter, and sev eral for a violation of the laws of the State against gambling. The Grand Jury have found true bills against three well known keepers of faro tables, but whether they can be convict ed is rather problematical. This form of gambling is carried on with little or no attempt at concealment, and yet we seldom hear of a prosecution. I am glad to see that the Solic itor General has taken hold of tho matter, and would bo glad to record the conviction and sentence of the guilty parties. The Florences have finished their engage ment here, and gone to Macon. Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne commenced last night, but owing to the rain and mud, there was a very thin house. Marchant has the Martinetti and Blon- din Troupe again this week, and we had a one horse circus last week, which drew crowded houses, as it is tho first that has been here for three years. Political matters now excite but little atten tion here, all parties feeling more interest in the accounts from Europe, and the condition of the cotton market. Even the Cuba propo sition is received carelessly. I notice the .Washington Union of Sunday morning, has an article of near two columns, in answer to the objections urged against the project. I think the old merchant in the N. Y. Evening Pott, ex pressed the sense of a large portion of the coni'; munity, when he said it was “like an offer to give money that we had not got; for a thing we didn’t want, to a nation that wouldn’t sell.” A. I. A Reliable House to Deal With.—Those of our friends who deal in, or are consumers of any description of paper, twine, cordage, rope, straw or bonnet hoards, &c., will do well to visit the extensive paper and twine warehouse of Messrs. Willard, Harvey & Co., at 84, Mai den Lane, New York. Messrs. W. H. & Co., have been so long and honorably known in this trade, that our speakiug of the house in terms of praise, can hardly he considered a puff. We therefore deem it merely necessary to refer our readers to their card in another column.—[Brooklyn Times. A Very Sad Story.—An English paper re lates the death of a father from grief. It says “His boy, aged eight years, was accused on a charge of stealing a sovereign. Bail was re fused, and the lad sent to prison. The father was so affected on parting with his child that he went home and never looked up again. A deep seated melancholy took possession of him—he was obliged to give up work, and on the day his little boy was tried, he breathed his last. The surgeon that attended him says he died of a broken heart. The boy was discharg ed. Report Of the Secretary or the Treasury. The following are the material portions of the recent Report, of the head of the Treasury Department, in relation to the state of the national finances: * * The receipts of the first quarter of the pre sent fiscal year, ending the 30th Sept. 1858, were $25,230,879 46, as stated in my annual report to Congress of December 6, 1858. The receipts for the remaining three-quarters were estimated at $38,500,000, of which sum $37,- 000,000 were estimated from customs. It was believed that the quarter ending December 31st, 1858, would yield $10,000,000. The present quarter, ending the 31st of March, 1859, $15,000,000 ; and the next quarter, end ing 30th June, 1859, $12,000,000. “ Slute my annual report was submitted to Congress, returns have been made from near ly all the ports for the quarter ending 31st De cember, 1858, and, estimating for the few ports not yet heard from, the total receipt for the quarter will be about the sum of $9,200,000. For the present quarter full returns have been received for the month of January from the ports of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The receipts from these ports amount to $4,376,542 86. Partial returns have been received from other ports, but not to a sufficient extent to justify a statement of them. “ In reference not only to the customs, but the public lands and other sources of revenue, all the information which has lieen received at the department since the date of my annual report confirms the correctness of the estimates of probable receipts for the present and next fiscal year which I then submitted to Congress. I am, therefore, of opinion that the result will show that the actual receipts for the remain ing quarters of the present year, and for the next fiscal year, will not vary materially from the estimates already submitted to Congress. In support of this opinion, I submit to the consideration of Congress a comparison of the receipts from customs for the same months of the two preceding years and the present year. “ In 1856-’57 the receipts from customs for the quarter ending the 31st December, were $14,343,414.90. In 1857—’58 the receipts from customs for the same quarter were $6,- 237,723.69. In 1858—’59 the receipts will probably be $9,200,000, as I have already stated. “ During the fiscal year ending 30tli June, 1857, the importations were very heavy, amounting in dutiable goods, exclusive of those imported, to $294,160,835 ; and the receipts from customs for the year were $63,664,453.- 56. In the fiscal year ending 30th June, 18- 58, the importations were much reduced, amounting in dutiable goods exclusive of those exported, to $202,293,S75; and the receipts from customs were $42,046,277.8(5. To realize my estimates, the importations of dutiable goods for the present fiscal year must reach the amount of $250,000,000, besides those ex ported ; and for the next fiscal year the sum of $280,000,000. “ Comparing the foregoing statement of re ceipts and looking to a favorable and healthful reaction in business, I should regard it unsafe and unwise to calculate upon a larger impor- tatiou than the present estimates contem plate.” The .Secretary then goes on to say that he is compelled to declare that tho receipts are not adequate to meet the public exigency unless the expenditures are reduced below the esti mates; on the contrary the bills passed through one or thelother branch of Congress would very largely and permanently increase the expen ditures. It is estimated that the pension bill alone would add several millions to the annu al expenses of the government; and indeed a larger amount for the next fiseal year. Other bills, in like manner, would swell the expen ditures. These expenditures should be reduced to the estimate, or other means of revenue will have to be provided. The present tariff can, and should he so modified as to supply such deficiency as may exist, and he avails himself of the opportuni ty again to call the attention of Congress to the recommendations of his annual report on the subject, and commend them to their fa vorable consideration. Several recommendations arc then made in relation to an increase of postage, al>olition of the franking privieleges, custom houses, treas ury notes, &c. He again expresses the opinion that the public debt ought not to be incscased by an additional loan. Burning n Negro at the stako—I>ren«lfnl Particulars. A correspondent of the Maysville Eagle, gives the following particulars of the recent burning of a negro at Troy, Kentucky, for the murder of his master : On New Year's day the annual negro sales took place at Troy, the county seat, and there was quite a collection of people there ; every thing went on smoothly until about three o’clock in the evening, when Jas. Callaway, a brother-in-law of the deceased, mounted upon an old goods-box before the store door, and addressed the people for about fifteen minutes. He said if the mass of the people felt as lie did, and would do their duty, which he believed they would, that they would take the black murderer out of jail and burn him at the stake in the presence of all the • negroes that were there to set an example btfore them, and show them what will be the result of all such conduct should there ever be such again. Then he closed by saying, “ All tiiat feel as Ido will follow me.” lie then leaped from the stand, and there was a general shout given, and he led the way to the jail, and nine-tenths of the multitude followed, On arriving at the jail they found the Sheriff and jailor, who did all they could to suppress the mob, but all to no purpose. They now mustered some 800 or 1,000 strong. They then commenced with sledge hammers, crowbars and axes, and in about an hour en tered the jail and brought forward their vic tim (the negro murderer.) They marched him to the centre of the jailyard, drove down a large stake and chained him in an erect po sition, hand and feet fast to the stake. There was an abundance of shavings and fine split wood piled around him—this consumed some half an hour. During this time the negro talked to the negroes that gathered around him. He told them that he had a good mas ter, and that he was always treated too well and given too many liberties, and for them to take warning in time and never do as he had done. Then the torch was applied, and he seemed to be entirely indifferent about it until the flames began to bum as high as his knees. Then he began to twist, and snort, and groan, and in about a minute more he commenced to scream. He gave some of (he most hideoug screams that I ever heard come from any hu man being. I could not stand to see any more and left. When I left, the flames were burning as high as his head. I was only a spectator—took no hand either for or against. I think that there were some 1,500 to 2,000 people to witness this dreadful scene and 200 or 300 negroes. Strange Mesalliance.—-Kldpeosent of a Rich Heiress with a Country Clown. Two youthful candidates for matrimony, from Bourbon ebuniy, Kentucky, made their debut at the Spencer House,, and as soon as they had breakfasted-LtKejr ’^ere not poetized above the reach of appetite by their passion —made known their connubial wants. Mr. France, one of the clerks of the hotel, to whom they applied, asked where the prospective bridegroom was, seeing no one but a very large, ruddy-cheeked, awkward and entirely rural individual, who looked as he had just left the plow. “I’m that fellow, roister, and I want to marry this gal right off, quick,” was the re sponse of the predestined Benedict, while the girl, barely seventeen. and unlike him as Cytherea was unlike Vulcan, smiled at what appeared to her, in her blind partiality, an open expression of his manly regard. No wonder the clerk did not conjecture the rude Bourbonite to be her lover. No one who believes that like seeks like would have dream ed of the possibility of such a compact. The girl is very fair, delicate and symme trical—quite a love of a creature, with blue eyes and a mouth that ever pouted kisses above the enchanting dimples of a beautiful chin. She was lithe as a liUy on a stalk, and every motion of her form, and every gesture was grace itself. Her conversation was in genious but elegant, easy but intellectual, and it‘was evident, she added, to a naturally refined mind, a superior education combined with various accomplishments. We thought of Titania and Bottom and Blanche and Quasi mode, and Beauty and Beast, and we know not what other creations of fiction, os wc gazed at the pair that wore to wed, and won dered whether the crop of husbands had not been short last season in old Bourbon. We are aware of course, that opposites attract each other, but culture generally Seeks culture, and refinement, refinement, however tempera ment and organization differ. This instance, however, was an exception; for here an accom plished young lady was on the eve of mating with a clown,not only in manners, but in per son and character. Miranda’s love for Cali ban would not have been more unnatural.— Still the fair Kentuckian was violently enam oured of her bucolic lover, it was evident, and had doubtless idolised him into a sort of fair Apollo. His defects she supplied with the ro mance of her own nature, snd covered his faults and awkwardness with the gorgeousness of her imagination, until he shone forth, in her eyes at least, the incarnation of poetic dreams. They were married in less than an hour, and as they retired from the reception room to which they had bceninvited, she seemed as much pleased with his gaurheries, as he with her elegant aud engaging deportment. We thought of the familiar lines of tlic play, and felt.how thoroughly they were verified in tlic example before us: Iu joining in contrast lieth love’s delights, 1 lence hands of snow in palms of russet lie ; The form of Hercules and of Sylph’s, And breasts that case the lion’s fire-proof heart Find their love lodge in arms where tremors dwell. The marriage was, as may lie supposed, the result of an elopement. The bridegroom had been employed by the bride’s father in a me nial capacity, and as soon as she returned from a New England school, where every pains had been taken to give an excellent edu cation, she “fell in love” with the “rude, un lettered hind,” aud herself proposed to run away. The devil is in some women, and no mis take, and tliis was a case in point. Whether the father who is wealthy, will ac cept his plebeian son-in-law, is a question we cannot determine. Perhaps, its he is extrava gantly fond of his daughter, he will forget her mesalliance for the great love he bears his child. —[Cincinnati paper. American Cleanliness versos Foreign * Dirt. A Russian, who has lately published a hook of travels on the United States, commends the comparative cleanliness of our people. Speak- ng even of as dirty a city as we Americans think New York to he, he is satisfied with our hotels, their arrangements, comforts, prices, and above all, with the copious distribution of water. A vehement apostrophe is hurled at the St. Petersburg houses, owned mostly by grandees, aristocrats and high officials. He upbraids them for the^nastiucss prevailing in the interior of their dwellings, occasioned by the scarcity of water : It is a shame that our elegant St. Petersburg resembles a girl brilliantly dressed but dirty undergarments. Here is a city built only yesterday, inhabited exclusively by traders and ..shopkeepers, who began life without a notion of tho wants and requirements created by higher birth and breeding. But 600,000 men grouped together must be kept clean and washed. Look here, gentlemen, aristocrats! this city has spent millions for cleanliness, while under the golden liveries of your retin ue, and often in the trimmings and fringes of your guady curtains, nestle numberless inhab itants, contesting your right of property.— Wliat is aristocracy without cleanliness of bo dy ? Do you intend to wait until the govern ment will take to washing you, your servants and dwelling ? If it comes to that, you will pay dear for it. Admiring the simplicity of method in the naming ^nd co-ordination of streets, he says : Simplicity is the evidence of sound common sense,' a quality which cannot be denied Amer icans. In Europe everything is more or less ruled by routine and tradition : Americans arc proud to exist by their own individual under standing. Europe is a well-written, systemat ic treatise ; the United States are a creation fill ed with new original and strikingly practical conceptions. Enhanced Price or Slaves in Brazil.—One cause of this dissatisfaction now prevailir g be tween the British contractors and directors of certain lines of railway in Brazil, in the course of construction, is the enormously enhanced price of labor since those works have commenc ed. • This has altogether disorganized the planter’s calculations, in proof of which it is enough to observe that when the Recief and Ban Fransisco line was commenced, some 3 years ago, the price .of a slave in the province of Pernambuco, was from £80 to £100 ; and according to the report by the mail that reach ed London on the 6th, none could be had at less than from £200 to £250. Large numbers of Germans were being sent out from Ant werp by Mr. Furness, the London contractor of the Pernambuco Railway, and 1000 Sardin ians were finder engagement to Mr. Watson, the contractor of the Bahia Railway, to pro ceed thither. But the demand is so great that the current rates of wages are likely to be rather stimulated than otherwise by these tri vial accessions, especially as fresh enterprises are being projected in various parts of the South American Empire.

A correspondent of the Nashville Republican Banner pays a high compliment to Georgians and praises the manner in which the State Road it is at present conducted. We opine that if the Nashville man had passed over the road some few years since he would not have found much to compliment, on the contrary, if he had known before hand the dangers to which he would have been exposed he would have made his will before starting, and had prayers put up in all the* churches for bis preserva tion. Riding in the cars on the W. & A. Ii. R. is a pleasure. The ride is smooth, regular, easy. For the first time in my life I this day rode in cars without fear of life or limb. The grad ing is very nicely done—safely done. The State owns the road, and the managers of it attend to the business in a calm manner. The people—everything—in Georgia—seems to wear a self possessed face and mien. You feel here that you are a gentleman and among gentlemen. ’TIs said the best poetry and mu sic is that which has most vowel sounds and fewest consonant sounds, “(leorgia” is a smooth, vowel sound word, wholly a soft pro nunciation. If it could lie proven that the term “Georgians” lias made these people the calm, velvety people they are, it would no longer be true that there’s nothingin a name, or that a rose would smell as sweet by any other name.

This trial commenced at Albany on Monday, before Hon. Ira Harris, Justice, and Jas. Rem ington and Hugh Carger, Associates. On the first day, Joseph Levi, a physician and surgeon, was sworn and examined on be half of the people. He deposed that he first saw the deceased in his professional capacity in his office, April 11,-1858. Deceased com plained of a pain in h : s throat; he coughed and breathed feverish, and witness formed an opinion that he was suffering from inflamma tion of the lungs ; witness gave him a prescrip tion for a draught, and directed him to drink marsh mallow tea, and apply a mustard plas ter to his neck ; called on deceased next day, and found him somewhat easier, and ordered a blister on his throat, and a continuation of the medicines but in smaller quantities, as he had been vomiting ; on the 21st he died. On the second day, Theodore Walden de posed that the deceased kept a lager beer sa loon and boarding house, and that ne (witness) was one of the boarders. He testified to the sickness of the deceased, and to quarrels which he had hail with his wife. Deceased was al ways complaining that his wife did not treat him well. 1 he witness also proved that the wife w.-is 1 always adverse to a post mortem ex amination. On one occasion, before the deceased fell sick, while drinking his coffee at the general table, he complained that there was some- tliing in the cup that looked so curious that he refused to drink it. His wife then said there had been sulphuric acid in the cup, which Mr. Wintzen had given her to clean tin, and the cup might not have been cleaned liefore the coffee was poured into it. She admitted tiiat it was poison. Mary Folk, a servant of the deceased, cor roborated the evidence of the sickness; she said some time before the deceased was taken sick, Mrs. Hartung sent her to Mr. Saulter, an apothecary, to buy prussic acid, with which she said she wanted to clean copper. A youth was in the store, and said there was none, and even if there were, he would not sell it to her, as the very smell of it was poisonous. On an other occasion she asked her to go out and buy arsenic, saying it was for a person named Streit, who wanted it to stuff birds with. This witness also deposed that Mrs. Hartung al ways cooked her husband’s meals herself, while he was sick, and tiiat she was continual ly going out of the kitchen into an entry, where a bottle or jar was standing, from which she took something out between her fingers, and returning into the kitchen, threw what she held into whatever she was cooking. Af ter the death of deceased, she found that the jar smelt like phosphorus. She could not use the towel on which Mrs. Hartung wiped her fingers after handling the stuff, it smelt so, and had to wash the towel five or six times before the smell would go off. The rest of the witness’ evidence went to show strong sus picions of an improper intimacy between Mrs. Hartung and a man named Rhciman, who took charge of the business after Hartung’s death. [Frnm the Special Correspondence of the N. Y. Timo-1 I have recently heard an amusing anecdote of Gov. Wise, which is worth recording. On the occasion of his visit to the town of Liberty, thirty miles west of tliis, during the celebra ted campaign of 1855, to address the people, he was introduced to a Mr. Fogy, whose resi dence was af the foot of the Peaks of Otter. After the introduction Mr. F. addressed Mr. Wise as follows : Mr. F.—“ I am glad to see you Mr. Wise.” Mr.W.—“I am happy to see you, Mr. Fogy” Mr. F.—“I am sorry I can’t vote for you, Mr. Wise.” Mr. W.—“Iain sorry for that too ; but this is a free country, and a man can vote as lie pleases.” Mr. F.—“ My employment in early life, and indeed until recently, was a thiinble-rig- ger. I have been always attending horse ra ces with my thimbles and ball, crying out, ‘ ’tis here and 'tain’t there.’ and ‘ ’tain’t here and’tis there.’ For many years a celebrated little horse, named Wazy, was winner of the stakes on every course that I was accustomed to attend. Bets were made, ‘ten’ to ‘one’ up on him, iigainst the whole track, and he ne ver failed to win. While engaged one day, at a race, in my usual occupation. I noticed the | ugliest, row-boniest, scrawniest, most ragged hipped looking beast you ever did see, led in- J to the track, and his name was Wee Ilawk. I was soon told that he was entered against Waxy, and ‘ten’ to ‘one’ was readily offered against him. I looked at Wee Hawk. He seemed wretched, but he had fire in his eye. I then looked at my pile, and I said, if I bet on Waxy and win I won’t win much, but if I bet | j on Wee Hawk and win, I will increase my pile “ tenfold. I looked again at Wee. Hawk and see ing the fire in his eye, I concluded I’d liet. I did so and won. 1 never did sec, Mr. Wise, a man so like a horse as you are like Wee Hatch, and though I can’t vote for you I’ll bet my pile on you.” Mr. Wise laughed heartily, and the result! proved that the tire was there. Broadway is the pride of Americans. Now- herein the world does the same street unite the great commerce of the world and the sen suous inventions of fashion ; nowhere on the whole length of the same thoroughfare run the working, busy, active, enterprising popu lation and the people of leisure. Pre-eminent among the people of liesure is the fair sex, here truly deserving this name. Familiar on ly with the charms of life, it flutters thought fully from one shop to another, squandering in cheerful “naivete” the winnings laborious ly accumulated by the toil of their fathers and husbands. The author's description of the uninterrup ted current of this great artery of New York life is graphic ; The current of labor, business, speculation, and every kind of mercantile and money mak ing occupation, moves down Broadway; the accumulated wealth runs up town. Specula tion, mercantile and industrial, and .pursuits of every nature, pass through thousands of hands, swim over oceans, imbrace tiie world. Finally, from this apparently unpleasant and heterogeneous choas emerges a resounding silvery wave, rushing in opposite direction, until petrified up-town in the shape of an aris tocratic dwelling.—[ Mobile Advertiser. J Fifty Dollars a Day. The Fredericksburg Recorder says that mem bers of Congiess will get this session “fifty dol lars per day,” for every day employed, exclu sive of mileage. It is an interesting question; how many ofthem could earn it at any other business? We might go farther, and ask, with the Fredericksburg Kews, whether they do earn it ? “They contracted with their con stituents,” says that paper, "to work for eight dollars a day, and then voted themseives more than six times that amount. Let some mem ber of Congress adopt the Enquirer’s suggestion and immortalize himself by insroducing a re solution providing for the cutting down of the present pay of members to fifteen hundred dollars per annum. That would be tweni} five dollars per day, which is enough, in all conscience, considering the Treasury is empty. Away with this wretched pretence about ‘re trenchment and reform,’ from men who pock et fifty dollars a day of unearned money.
