j£|pA letter from Naples dated Jan. 0, states that
Vesuvius at present excites an incredible degree of
attention. Anew crater has been opened and the
summit of the principal cone has been flattened and
otherwise very materially changed in form. Excur
sions to the upper part of the mountain arc at pres
ent fiauglff ‘with great danger. Everything, in
short, announces that some very important change
in the volcano is about to take place, either an erup
tion or a collapse. It would be extraordinary, con
tinues the letter, if one of those singular events re
corded of ancient volcanoes should take place—if
\ esuvius should fall under its own weight and a lake
tak!& its place, as once happened to the mountains
of Fusaro and of Agnano!
Barnum 8 Reported Failure. —As wc understand
the facts in regard to the unfortunate entangling al
liance between the Jerome clock company and Mr.
barnum, the latter for the purpose, among other in
ducements, of establishing a branch of the manufac
tory at East Bridgeport, where he was largely inter
ested in land, agreed with the Clock Company to in
dorse and accept for them to the amount of sllO -
000. The notes and acceptances indorsed by him
were generally left in blank as regarded the time
they had to run, with the understanding that they
were to be used mainly in renewals. He finds
at last that the paper out, with his own name on it
is over $450,000. If compelled to pay it it would
require the sacrifice of nearly $1,000,000 worth of
of such property as he owns to accomplish it. The
whole affair, we understand, will be sifted through
the law, and what < he result will be time only can
Mr. Barnum, we believe provides promptly for
his own private liabilities as usual. He has also am
ply secured Mr. Leand and Mr. Miller, who are his
bondsmen in the Munn case. When he made the
indorsements he supposed he was fully secured, but
on examination, the assets of the Company are found
to be of much less value than estimated. It is doubt
ful if the concern could have paid its debts fifty cents
on the dollar any time in the last three years.
Kansas—The President's Proclamation. —The
President commands “all persons engaged in unlaw
ful combinations against the constituted authority of
the Territory of Kansas, or of tho United States, to
disperse and retire peaceably to their respective
abodes, and to warn all such persons that any at
tempted insurrection in said territory, or aggressive
intrusion into the same, will be resisted not only by the
employment of the local militia, but also by that of
any available forces of the “United States ; to the end
of assuring immunity from violence and full protec
tion to the persons, property, and civil rights of all
peaceful and law-abiding inhabitants of the Territo
ry- V
He further calls upon all citizens, “both of adjoin
ing and of distant States, to abstain from unauthor
ized intermeddling in the local concerns of the Terri
tory,” and closes by invoking “all good citizens to
promote order by rendering obedience to the law : to
seek remedy for temporary evils by peaceful means:
to discountenance and repulse the counsels and the
instigators or agitators and of disorganizers, and to
testify their attachment to their country, their pride
in its greatness, their appreciation of the blessings
they enjoy, and their determination that republican
institutions g&all not fail in their hands, by co-ope
rating to uphold the majesty of the laws and to vin
dicate the sanctity of the Constitution.”
Judge Berrien. —The New York Express , in no
ticing the recent death of this distinguished citizen,
pays the following beautiful tribute to his acknowl
edged abiffgy :
“I” tkejlon- John M. Berrien, of Georgia, passes
away a gf&t mind and a great man. In professed
legal acquisition, m goneral legal lore, in the faculty
of analysis, combination, and exposition c f thought
he had but few, very few, equals in the United Stales’,
At the age of 75, for that must have been about bis
age, his head was as clear as a crystal, and the Law
yer, or the Senator, who met him in debate, met a
man unshorn of manhood and of unclouded vigor.—
Thus, one by one, go off the stage, 4he Calhouns, the
Clays, the Websters, the Berriens of our second gol
den age, and it is to be hoped, some are rising, who,
in patriotism and honor, can fill their places.”
The Planet Saturn.—The almanacs say that Sat
urn’s rings will be visible all of this year, with the
aid of a telescope, their southern surface being now
turned towards the earth. The planet will be the
evening star until June 24, then morning star until
December 31, then evening star until the 10th of
July, 1857.

by Mr. Wilson and others, and laid over. A strug

Affairs in Herat. —The last India mail brought
intelligence from Cabul respecting the affairs at He
rat, to Nov. 1. The Sindian, of Dec! 8, has the fol
lowing :
The intelligence from Herat is horrible: the whole
of Yar Mahomed’s family, old and young, have been
put to death except the mother of the two princes
who were recently murdered by the Persian troops.
She had great influence in Herat; in fact, she admin
istered the affairs of the State, and was called, “the
Navvab of Herat.” Her life was spared with the
view of extorting from her the treasure she was
known to have possessed ; but she was prepared for
this, for on the murder of her two sons she collected
all her jewels arid burnt them, and allowed her slaves
to distribute the spoils among themselves. She is
now tortured with red hot irons to give up her hid
den wealth. We do not apprehend immediate hos
tilities unless the Persians advance bej’ond Herat—
With Herat itself Dost Mahomed and his allies have
strictly nothing to do; and we doubt much whether
the British lion will stretch out his paw until a more
satisfactory casns belli is established.

A GOOD SPECULATION!
I OFFER FOR SAEE, the valuable TRACT
of LAND, lying on Beaver-dam Creek, in Han
cock county, readily recognized as having recently
belonged to R. Burnley, Esq. It contains 1050 acres,-
more or less, about 150 cleared, the rest in the woods,
and I hazzard nothing in saying, that some of this
land is as good as any to be found in tho county.—
There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well
adapted to the growth of corn and cotton.
But to any one wishing to engage in the Lumber
business, this place offers rare inducements. There
is a good SAW MILL, with excellent water privileges
on the premises, and by a small outlay in fixing up
the dam, any one of industry may soon realize the
amount paid for the place. There are also, two sets,
of Mill Stones, which is an inducement to any one
wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House
with several Negro Cabins stand near by,-for the ac
commodation of a miller and hands. . i
The market for lumber is good. The mill is two
miles from Powelton, ten from Sparta, and six from
Mayfield. -Public roads pass by the the mill to each
of these places, which bring them in direct commu
nication. The route surveyed for the Rail Road from
Warrenton and Milledgeville is but a short-distance
from the line of the land, and if it is biiHt, wiM make
the tract almost invaluable. I wish to sell the whole
in a bo ly, but if dqpired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers. Several elligible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As I am too far re t oved to make these lands avail
able, my residence being in the Southern of
the State, I am determined to sell, and I promise any
one in want of such a place, that by applyingTo me
early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, eith
er for their own use or for speculation. ?

Beautif#As!brtmlQt of Valentines!
I HAVE just received from New York, Balti-
Ij tOore, and Philadelphia, the most extensive as
sortment of Valentines ever offered in this place, and
every thing connected with them, such as Writers,
Verses, Envelopes, Lace Paper, <fcc., and am prepar
ed to fill orders, Wholesale or Retail, at prices from
five cents to twenty dollars. ,
J have invoked Venus, the goddess of beauty and
love, and her darling Cupid, and they have gracious
ly chosen for their retreats the Madison Book Store,
and have commissioned their friend, Benjamin G.
Liddon, as high priest of love, courtship and marri
mony.
“The world is full of poetry —the air
Is living with its spirit; and the waves
Dance to the music of its melodies
. And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af
fections, which are borne upon the gilded wings of
Curd’s messenger, in the form of a Valetine, to some
fair fm n d breathing the pure sentiments of friend
ship esteem and all the kindlier regards for those to
whom we donate?. It may, perchance, be received
with silent approval, only by the fair face,
“Where eloquent flushes burn and fade,
Rich with the wealtn ‘y arn ‘ emotion ;
Or starry dimples mock the shade,
Like jewels in a restless oCfc'.' D *
Valentines are the ambassadors of thought, where
language fails. They substitute, in glowing’ e l°quence,
the reading of the heart, by their symbolic n.' eal jing.
Faithful to my trust, as a se vant of the pub’-'C I
am doing all in my power to further the interests o.
those youths and maidens who are suffering from an
affection of the heart. To all, of every age, and of
every rank in life, I offer a specific that has never
failed. Such is the wonderful power of the Valen
tines sold by me, as a philanthropist and conservator
of the tender passions, that none make love without
sending one as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON.

VOLCANIC REPEATING PISTOES.
THIS PISTOL can be discharged with greater
rapidity and certainty than any other Pistol
now in use. The following is an extract in relation
to them, taken from the New Haven Palladium:
Volcanic Repeating Pistol. —We have seen am]
fired a pistol, recently invented and patented, which
hids fair to excel everything as yet offered in that
line to the public attention. It seems to combine all
that could be desired in such a weapon. Colt’s pis
tol, compared with it, seems like a distortion, or a
clumsy, uncouth and ridiculous affair for a fire-arm.
The Yolcrnic Pistol carries a minie or conical ball
in a riße barrel, and will put it through a three-inch
plonk at a distance of ninety rods. The receiving
tube will hold twelve ball cartridges, which may be
deposited in two seconds of time. The pistols may
,be discharged thirty times in fifty seconds. It is so
contrived that it is not liable to accidental discharge.
There is no priming, no caps, and, therefore, no dan
ger to the eyes from ignition near the breach. Neith
er is there any recoil so ns to jar the arm or disturb
a sure aim. The whole construction is so simple as
not to get out of order even from long use. The pow
der ana ball are enclosed in the same metalic cover,
so that a person might swim a river with one of these
In hiß belt without the slightest degree injuring the
powder. In short, the weapon is in all respects one
of the most perfect things in the shooting line that
we ever took into our hands.”
