Mr. Conowav, tax collector of Coosa county, was robbed about a month ago of $2,200. It turns out that lhe theft was committed by four of his neigh bors. One of the party turned State’s evidence; and the other three have been committed to jail. Mr. J. J.

The Savannah Republican , of yesterday, says : “Mullford Marsh, Esq., for some years a practic ing attorney in .the Eastern District, died at his resi dence in this city yesterday forenoon. The deceas ed was well known in this city, and in middle and southern Georgia. The reported death of Mr. Caldwell, of Pike, whjch has been generally circulated, has proved unfounded. The engineers of the Pensacola and Georgia Rail reached Alligator, Florida, finally loca ting their line. 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. Heavy Draft on the Treasury. —Washington, Feb. 4.—To-day the Sergeant-nt-Arins, - Mr. Glossbrener, drew from the U. S. Treasury about SBO,OOO in gold, which amount had been advanced by him as pay to members, ill'. Banks signed drafts for the purpose late on Saturday night last Two hundred and thirty thousand dollars are yet due the members, which will be drawn from the Treasury during the week. From Washington. —Washington, Monday Night. —The nomination of Mr. Dallas, as Minister to Eng land, was confirmed to-day, without opposition. The nominations of Judges Cato of Alabama, and Barrel, of Pennsylvania, for Kansas, were also confirmed. — Governor Shannon’s nomination was favorably re ported upon. The motion to confirm was opposed by Mr. Wilson and others, and laid over. A strug gle will be made to discuss it in open session. Mr. Douglas has written to postpone all Territorial busi ness until he comes. — Gour. & Eng. 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. |pW” Mr. Wm. N. Johnson, of Charlotte, North Carolina, has been elected President of the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad. John W.

Feb 16 6 A CARPENTER FOR SALE. A VALUABLE Carpenter, well krio-wn in this and the surrounding counties for his.Meohan ical genius, is offered, with a superior lot of tools, at private sale by his owner.

Porter,, Esq., at Madison, Ga. Greene county, Feb. 12, 1856: 6 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. ?

Feb 16-om-6 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.

Jan 12—4t—1 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.” tay-A small lot just received and for sale at the MADISON BOOK STORE.
