PUBUSHED EVERY SATURDAY MORNING. Term*—$2 00 per annum, invariably in advance. MONDAY, JAN. 1. Furniture.—The attention of readers is invited to the advertisement of Messrs. Morgan & Kirkpatrick in another column. Those wishing to purchase furniture will find a very large and choice selection of ev ery kind at their establishment on Peach tree street. It will also be seen that such as desire another chance at the “ lucky bag ’’ can be accommodated on Monday next. The Examiner.—Our neighbor of thc At lanta Examiner has been one of the fiercest denouncers of Know-Nothingism in all its phases. In fact, he has distinguished him self above all other opponents of that order by the bitter and vindictive onslaughts he has, from time to time, made upon the or ganization. The fact tiiat any party should claim for native born citizens exclusive priv ileges, has been a standing theme for him to pile up the agony, and he lias occasionally piled it up terribly high. In his last issue, however, while rejoicing over the fact that a Whig paper will hereafter have the Sher iff’s advertising in this county, he says that when the Sheriff’s office goes into the hands of the Democracy lie shall claim thc adver tising on thc ground that he (the editor) is a native, born Democrat. Circumstances sometimes alter cases considerably. O, consistency! thou art a jewel. By the way, speaking of consistency, our neighbor of the Examiner is now-a-davs so passionately in love with Gov. Johnson that he can hardly think of good things enough to say of him, and he thinks there is no possible doubt that Ilcrschel V. w ill be our next Governor. But many people about here beliovc that the editor of the Exami- Her is the veritable “7led-Mouthcd Democrat'’ who so bitterly denounced Gov. Johnson in the Atlanta Republican no longer ago than last winter. YVill thc Examiner deny the “soft impeachment?” or will the editor walk up to the rack and acknowledge the corn in his next issue? YVe pause for a reply. Interesting to Remitters.—The Mem phis Eagle has been requested by the Post Office authorities of that city to caution thc public against making any remittances which may have to pass through the mail on the route between Nashville and Cin cinnati, as a great deal of money has been recently lost between those cities. Between Memphis and Nashville, remittances thro’ the mail will bo safe enough; it is only he- yond Nashville that any danger is appre hended. The Montgomery Lottery.—The Mobile correspondent of thc Montgomery (Ala.) Journal relates a rather curious tale about a negro preacher in Mobile dreaming out prizes from Swan’s Lottery. Thc following is his account of the circumstances : “ Thc last drawing of the Southern Mili tary Academy Lottery has created a pro found sensation among thc colored popula tion hero. One of their number, a lever- end gentleman, called Preacher Bolling, dreamed some six weeks since that he was the fortunate holder of a prize ticket. En couraged by the dream, lie went next day to Boullenet’s, and invested 82.50, and was rewarded by receiving from the fickle god dess the comfortable sum of 81,500. One would have thought him content with this ; but no ! he determined to try again, and purchasing the same number, has singularly enough drawn this time §.‘i.50i*, the half of the capital prize. YYTiefher he will now re tire and give others a chance, report says not. Over eight hundred bushels of the Span ish variety of sweet potatoes have been raised by Mr. Edward Shepherd, on two acres of land, near Columbus, Ga. He is reported to have discovered a mode ,.f cul-! tivation by which such large crops can he j raised as a general thing. BgL* The financial prospects in the larger Northern cities are said to be brightening, ! ami is expected as soon us the holidays ave over that immediate preparations will be made for opening the spring business. The New York papers slate that their stock mar ket was comparatively quiet and free from fluctuation last week, but that money mat ters had not improved quite as much as \ might have been anticipated, owing to Abe fact that the banks appeared indisposed to let up the pressure in the slightest degree. There were no shipments of specie from that port last week, and consequently there was a much larger, amount of bullion in the banks than there, lead before been for some time. “ The concert of the Blakely’s was well artended on Saturday evening, and thc au- | dience consisted of the first class of our | community. YVe have not seen so select an audience at a place of amusement in our city for many a day. The performances, both vocal and instrumental, were fully equal to to the high reputation of the com pany, and, if possible, better than when last we heard them. “Thc Echoing Horn” was one of the most exquisite tilings we ever listened to. The imitations of answer ing echo were complete, and their effect most beautiful. “ The archness, uaviette and witcheries of Mrs. Durston in iter comic song, “YYhat they say about Cupid,” was perfectly irresistible; and we venture* the assertion that, were she single, some of our young would have tried their skill with pid’s arrow, notwithstanding her brags that “she would stand aside, and laugh at their whistling by.” The Marseilles Hymn as performed by this company, with all their voices in chorus, and full orchestral accompaniment, is completely overwhelming being rendered with all the excitability of its true national character. Its effect is grant7, sublime. YY’c might speak in equal terms of admiration of all their pieces, both vocal and instrumental, but our time and space will not permit.” Some mischief-loving letter-writer in YVashington has started a story, to the effect that as soon as Gen. Houston arrives in that city, lie will be politely requested to meet The above is only another specimen of tltt* characteristic evasion of the Examiner in its lame attempt to defend the rickety administration of the State Road. YVe can inform rhe Examiner that the order in ques tion did contemplate the exclusion of the bills of the Atlanta Bank from the Road, and that the agents and conductors were ’ instructed not to receive its bills inpayment of freight and passage. YVe con further inform our neighbor that its bills were ac cordingly refused, the order for their exclu sion remaining in force until thc Executive and his man of the State H iad found out, men ; by unmistakable symptoms, (hat they had undertaken an act of oppression which was about to bring down about their ears the condemnation of the business community, when they incontinently backed out of the operation, and revoked the order in refer ence to the Atlanta Bank. Straightway thereafter their bellows-blower comes out and very complacently informs the Intelli gence,- that " no such restriction exist- on the State Road.” If the “ ■ towers that be” burnt their fingers and were forced to desist, that fact does not impair in the least the truth of our remarks when we Characteriz ed the original act as a piece of injustice. The forward and back movements of the j more. Crowded houses greeted them oil each appearance, and their success in pleas ing every one seemed entire No Company has ever been rec.eited by our citizens with the same distinguished favor, and none have better-deserved it. Their music is the be-: we have, ever listened to. The popular Scotch balads of the inimitable Miss Hugh nin, the scientific violin solos of .Mr. Hub bard. who is eer ..inly second none save Ole Bull—the charming, laughable ducts of the entire troupe in orchestra—all are ;f the very highest order, and were performed in the most pleasing .style. But we must not be expected to specify the many attractions the Blakely’s possess, and which have taken such a hold upon the affections of our citi zen.-. Their \isit will long lie remembered by all win. heard them, and should they ever vc -.rn, they will find the people of Louisville ready to receive them with the same warmth of welcome which they ever extend to ii;e deserving." Attempted Suicide.—We have been in- i lined that a voting man. from North Caro lina. went into the Merchants’ Hotel Tues- Editor of the Intelligencer to support his in- , g rea f terrogatives with evidence, and then we shall be prepared with our answer to his -il ly charge.” From the above it will be seen that our neighbor does not deny that iie was the author of the articles in question. If he was not it would have been very easy for him to save hi- consistency by an open dis avowal. Come, c 'r.re, neighbor, walk up to ihe scratch and make a clean breast of it! Plead guilty, or not guilty, one or the other! We are not particular which horn of the di lemma y >u take, though we would, rather y >a would come out iiko a,man and ac knowledge die corn,” for wo have a little curiosity to see how skillfully you win plas ter over the palpable inconsistency of the matter, besides we would willingly spare you the mortification T having it pro red upon you after a denial. -As to your uu-in- uation that we have ever been any thing hut a Democrat in polities, we will not follow [CorreqioaiU-uce ot the Atlanta Daily Intelligencer.] Tilings ill New York.

The Mediation o f the United States in the European War—Such a Thing not in Coiijtict with our Foreign Policy of Mon- Tntercenliou—The Pacific Railroad—Col. Benton’s Speech on the Subject. It is reported that the President has man ifested a desire that mediation should bo of fered for the adjustment of the difficulties which have plunged Europe into war. A day which commemorates the proclamation of peace on earth and good will among men, is a very suitable’ one for cherishing and promoting any mediation which might lead to peace. It is not improbable that the. sub ject has been noticed, in appropriate places, in various parts of the country, and upon the day. There would be no impropriety in tin offer of our mediation, whether it be accepted or not- It does not come under the objections to which an interferauce in one i that wield the hammer and ihq axe Avow ou ihe . affairs of foreign grvernuieuts is liable.

Congress.—At last accounts from YY’a-li- ington both Houses had adjourned over to enjoy the Christmas hollidays. Many mem bers had left the city «uu we presume scarcely enough were left to form a quorum.

At the request of many of our subscribers we republish the subjoined paragraphs which appeared on thc fourth page of YYedneseay’s Courier, in our usual synopsis of the state of the money market. The Montgomery, Ala., Mail of Thursday says: “ Intelligence was received here yester day that notes on the Banks of Camden, y he raw and Georgetown, South Carolina, were no longer redeemed in Charleston,— This news created some distrust among bankers here, and some of them, in conse quence, reject the notes not only of the in stitutions named, but all of alt interior South Carolina Banks. This is suicidal policy.— There is not e\en a rumor that these notes are not redeemed at their own counters.— Until then, it is creative of unnecessary distrust, and promotive of very bad conse quences to use them.” We are deeply indebted to the Mail for its prompt defence of our Banking Institu tions. and can assure it that wc have e: ory reason to believe that they arc beyond sus picion. The stockholders are liable to double the amount of their subscriptions, and there is no instance, we believe, on record of any bill holders ever having suf fered from the failure of a bank in this State, consequently the citizens of other States need have no fear relative to the pro duce of accepting any of our promises to pay.— Eds. Courier l’o this we would merely add that the notes of all our interior banks are taken freely not only at the banks in this city., but by our citizens throughout the State-, and for our own part, we shall he mast hap py to receive as many as may be sent us in payment for what is already due us, or for few supscriptions.— Charleston Courier. fTlic Hmmted Bachelor.
