It is well to keep a good look out, in all directions, a.they have no particular preference for locality. The store of Messrs. Lallerstedt k Deming, at the corner ol Broad and Jackson streets, under the Globe Hotel, Augusta, Ga., was entered on Friday night, by forcing the back door, on Jackson street, and Silks to the value of five hundred dollars taken, together with a small tin box containing about one hundred dollars in money and some papers. rhe Charleston Evening News, of Saturday, says: “ About 10 o’clock last night officers McDowell and IVohill arrested Calvin Lewis, nn escaped trom the Penitentiary at Millcdgeville, Ga. lie was found in bed with his brother, at the house of Mr. \ eroney, on Lino street. lie was put in the Peni tentiary for robbing the Georgia railroad.

Some idea of the vast ness of this gun may be gathered from the following particulars of its dimensions: when finished the bar rel will be 15 feet long; it will be 27 inches in diam eter at the muzzle, or 84 3-4 inches in circumference; and 44 inches in diameter at the breech, or 188 I*4 inches in circumference. The bore will be 13 feet G inches long, and 13 inches in diameter. When com pleted itis estimated it will have cost the company £O,OOO in material alone. The gun is expected to be ready in about six weeks, and, with tho trunnions complete, will weigh something over 24 tuns. — When finished, it will be drawn through the town by 20 of the company’s fine horses, and will ulti mately be taken to Waterloo to be tested. The charge will be over 100 lbs of gunpowder, with one •of the shots of 302 lbs. 4 _ Crime iu New Orleans. Thousands of persons are said by the press of that city to live by pillage only. The number of persons now awaiting trial before the Criminal Court is thirteen hundred. About three hundred of these are in prison, and on an avarage sixteen more are “ sent up” for trial every day. There is but one Court to try these, and the justice there meted out is often the scoff of the bad and shame of the good. A dark picture. Coal in Kentucky.

A bright prospect- for land owners, but delusive we fear. A Romantic Miss. A young lady of respectable conncct’ons, in Phila delphia*” who had probably been reading some of the late flaming novels of Southern life, became determ ined very suddenly, a few weeks ago, to leave the narrow limits of the city and satisfy herself on the slave State in the South, at the same time enjoy her self among its pleasant towns and villages. She clothed herself in man’s attire, in a fashionable suit of broadcloth, took some change in her pocket, and in a very quiet manner eloped. She arrived in the city one day last week, to all appearance a lad of some 15 or lti summers, stopped a day or two, and in the meantime fell in with some extravagant young travellers, proposed champagne with them, took snacks at the “Bower,” and flew around in quite handsome style. Yesterday after noon she was on the point of leaving in the South ern cars, when her father, who having fortunately guessed her course was in pursuit of her, and had just arrived by the Richmond train, found her seat ed in the smoking car of the Weldon train puffing away on a prime Havana, with her tiny little feet cocked up against the stove, and withal quite at home. On the affectionate parent beholding his gentlemanly daughter thus metamorphosed, he was at a loss to express himself, but finally managed to exdaim, “Is that you Louisa?” To which the gal lant runaway responded, “This is me father. Oh! I’m so sorry l left you,” and she burst into tears.— For the fair wanderer's sake we suppress names. It is needless to say they returned together.—Peters u u rejh Express. Rumored Disaffection in Canada. A Toronto correspondent of the New York Daily Times writes on the 4th inst: A portentous story is at the present moment pas sing fr w mouth to mouth, and meets with some de gree of credence. It iB confidently stated that a plot been discovered, having for its object the placing of Canada under the banner of the stars and stripes, and that a number of men holding high of fice in this country are implicated in it. It is said that Mr. Seward, sometime ago in the United States Senate, spoke of the probable conduct of Canada, in the event of war with England, he - proceeded not on a vague estimate of the state of public feeling, but on tangible documentary evidence, in the shape of letters from influential parties on this side, then actually in his bands. And it is added, that the conspiracy has been blown up, nnd that the Gov ernor General is now in possession of the names of eight members of the Canadian Parliament, and of a number of Canadian M agistrates, who have been en gaged in treasonable correspondence with Mr. Seward. Negro Diplomatists. The London correspondent of the New’ York Her ald says: “The negro representative of Soulouque made his appearance this week at the Queen’s levee, nnd in spite of all the affected sympathy of the English for free “ niggers,” he was avoided as something “odi ous and not to be endured.” A good joke of our Minister at Paris, Mr. Mason, has come over here. — He was yt a Court ball lately at tho Tuilleries, and his eyes happened to light on the Charge d’Affaires of Soulouque in France, a fine looking black. Some one observing his steady gaze, said: “ Well, Mr. Mason, what do you think of yonder blackee in his embroidered coat?” “Think,” replied Mr. Mason, still regarding the negro with the eye of. a connois seur, “why, clothes and all, I think that fellow is worth a thousand dollars.” This is “Old Virginny’ all over, and every body is laughing at. the bon mot.” — - 4 m Surgery in Illinois. Mr. Brown, of Big Muddy, had his leg crushed by a log, nnd had all the doctors of Richmond, Clay and Jasper, in attendance. Not a set of surgical instru ments could be found—and amputation was impera tive. A rusty butcher knife and butcher’s saw was obtained —the knife whetted on a brickbat—the saw, rusty and greasy, was good enough. The incision was made, and the (iesh cut in professional style, the arteries taken up with a crooked fork, and tied with the basting thread from one of the M. D.’s jacke’s; tho end of the bone was scraped with a case knife, to get off’the grease and rust left by the saw’; the flesh was turned over the end. of the bone, and a cotton rag stuck on to the wound with shoemaker’s wax.— Eight inches of common whisky was put into the pa tient before the operation commenced, which made him oblivious. This is considered one of the great est triumphs of the science of surgery extant, and shows that money expended for instrument is thrown away .—Olney Republican. Spontaneous Combustion. Benson Blake, Esq., informs the Vicksburg Whig that fire had burst out of the centre of a pile of cot ton seed that lay by the side of his gin house, on his plantation on the Yazoo river, a few days since. The cotton seed had been exposed to the weather all winter, and he had commenced hauling it away, when the fire broke out of the centre “’inf the pile.— After it was extinguished, on examination it wa-- found charred to a considerable depth, and bore the appearance of having been smothered in for some time. Mr. Blake assures us there can be no doubt of the fire originating from the heat of the seed.— No doubt this is the cause of many gins burning down, and we would advise all who have piles of cotton seed lying about their gins to haul it out forthwith. South Carolina College. We have learned that the Professors ofS uth Car olina College, in view of the various rumors which are in circulation, have addressed a communication to the President of the Board of Trustees, requesting a full and rigid inquiry into their course in reference to the causes which may be supposed to have led to its present condition. This, we think, is just, dig nified and manly. They have appealed to tho tribu nal, to which they are directly responsible, instead of resorting to newspaperjdiscussion, which might involve painful issues highly detrimental to the best interests of the College.— Carolinian. jSF“Mr. Everett’s lecture on Washington, at New York, on Monday evening, before the Mercantile Li brary Association, was attended by an immense audience. Hundreds who were late, looked in and went home again. Six thousand tickets were sold, and there were, probably, some five hundred invited guests present beside. This lecture was first delivered in Boston, on the 22d of Feb.llas,s f , on which occasion the Advertiser spoke of it thus: “By the desire of the orator, we abstain from at tempting a full report of this most splendid oration; we subjoin, however, an abstract, prepared under his own eye; an outline which will show its scope and the originality and variety of the treatment of the subject, although itnmst utterly fail (and indeed the most complete report would fail) to give any idea of the felicity oflanguage, the richness of illus tration, and the burning eloquence of the perform ance. * * * * * ’> * * “The oration occupied two hours in the delivery. During the whole of this time the orator did not once refer to notes, or once refresh his lips with any liquid—and the earnest interest and attention of the audience remained fixed and unflagging from begin ning to end. No idea of the passage of time could have entered the mind of any hearer. There was no opportunity for any, the least feeling of weari ness. The pleasure of the audience frequently broke out in bursts of hearty applause, and at the close there was a universal feeling of regret that the in tellectual feast was over, and of gratitude for its wealth and profusion, which manifested itselfin long continued and earnest plaudits.” These strong, though doubtless well deserved com-1 pliments, arc reiterated in all the leading journals ! of Boston—the Post declaring that this oration is j the greatest of all Mr. Everett’s great productions. J The original price of the tickets to the oration was !• one dollar, but so great was the demand for them that tho entire three thousand was sold two days be fore the time, at prices ranging from three to ten dol lars. fW” Joshua R- Giudings of Ohio, in a recent speech in New York in favor of Black Republican ism, used the following language: “ I look forward to the day when there shall be a servile insurrection in the South; when the black man, armed with British bayonets, and led on by British officers, shall assert his freedom, and wage a war of exteruination against his master. When the torch of the incendiary shall light vp the towns and cities of the South, and blot out the last vestige of slaver}'. And though I may not mock at their calamity, nor laugh when their fear cometh, yet I hail it as a dawn of a political inilleniutn.” ISF* There are said to be 1,800 banks in the United States, which in last January circulated $117,157,412, while of coin in circulation there was $185,109,605, showing actually a greater amount of coin than bank notes to be used in the business of the country. The whole amount of money in cir culation was $859,265,017, giving to each individual an average of SIB.BO, and showing an increase of about $60,000,000 in the last ten years.

Penfield, March 1,185 G. 8 Beautiful Assortment of Valentines! I HAVE just received from New York, Balti more, 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, Ac., and am prepar ed to fill orders, Wholesale or Retail, at prices from five cents to twenty dollars. I 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; aaul 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 Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a Valetine, tosomo fair friend 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, told only by the fair face, “Where eloquent blushes burß and fade, Rich with the wealth of warm omotion ; Or starry dimples mock the shade, Like jewels in a restless ocean.” alentines are the ambassadors of thought, where language fails. They substitute, in glowing eloquence, the reading of the heart, by their symbolic meaning. Faithful to my trust, as a sc.vant of the public I am doing all in my power to further the interests of those youths and maidens who arc suffering from an affection of the heart. To all, of every ago, 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.

I OFFER FOR SALE, tba -vp;viable TRACT of LAND, lying on Beaver-dam in Han cock county, readily recognized as having recently belonged to R. Burnley, Esq. It contains 105© agres, more or less, about 150 cleared, tho rest in the woods, and l hazzard nothing in saying, that some of this land is as good as any to be found in the county.— There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well adapted to the growth of com 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 tho premises, and by a smgll 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. 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 Milledgcville is but a short distance from the line of the land, and if it is boilt, will make the tract almost invaluable. I wish to sdl the whole in a body, but- if desired, 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 r.ovcd to make these lands avail able, my residence being in the Southern portion of the State, I am determined to sell, and 1 promise any one in want of such a place, that hv applying to me early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, cith er for their own use or for speculation.
