The Philadelphia Press says: An item from an Eastern paper found its way, accidentally into our news column a day or two since, setting forth that in consequence of the failure of Mr. John A. Washington, the proprietor of Mount Vernon, the Purchase money already paid for the estate was likely to be lost, as Mr! VV.

being involved, could not give a title. Such is by no means the case. 1 ne contract, and all the arrangements between the ladies of the Mount Vernon Association and Mr. Washington, are such that neither his failure nor any judgments that may result therefrom, can in any way affect the title to the Monut Veruon estate. We are glad to learn, moreover, that very nearly a sufficient amount incomplete the purchase has been realized; but it is intended to make the fund sufficient to put the whole estate in repair, and for this purpose the of the Association are now actively prosecuting their collections, preferring to pcr-r niun hv their own efforts, rather refusal by complying with them Tl.

ET Some little stir has been created in this county by the report that a number of Sharp's rifles had been found secreted in the woods. Taken in connection with the anonymous letter received by Gov. Pettus from this county, Informing him that a negro insurrection was contemplated about Christmas, this report has caused some little uneasiness. We deem it best to notice this matter al once, in order to allay any undue excitement. The report is founded on anonymous letters, which should be received with great caution.

As to the finding of the arms, we do not believe a word of it, and will not believe it until we see some of the guns, or at least see some one who has seen tljem. The whole thing is no doubt a rascally hoax gotten up by the panic makers and Gen. Pettus should have put the letters into the fire- Congress and the President's Message. Congress met yesterday.

The Island City, on ner "J'y lnv evening, too in tow irom Staining fiO head of cattle. When near IW I Southern Pacific Railroad. As we predicted in our issue of last Saturday, the $150,000 asked by Dr. Fowlkes, to seeure the acceptance oi the Presidency of the Southern Pacific railroad by J. Edgar Thompson, baa been raised.

The whole sum was subscribed by our own citizens in double quick time. Before the convention adjourned last Friday, $50,000 of the sum was taken in a few moments, and now there is nothing more to take This is good news for the friends of the greatest railroad enterprise of the age. It will send a thrill of joy through many a heart In the different States of the Union. The subscribing of this $150,000 in the slock of the company was all that was to be done to secure Thompson as President. He had, in his all-abundant caution, required all litigation against the company to be ended, all of the debts of the corporation to be paid, and available means to be in its treasury for construction purposes before he would accept the Presidency of the road.

All has now been done that he required. Litigation is ended, the debts of the company have been paid, and the $250,000 placed in the treasury of the company, subject to the control of the new President. Texas subscribed $100,000 of this sum, and Kentucky the remaining $150,000, The Southern Pacific Railroad is, therefore, safe and sound. The troubles of the corporation may be considered over, and its joys will now come thick and fast. Dr.

Fowlkes leaves here lor Nashville this morning, and will go from there to Philadelphia in a few days to install President Thompson into office. No better news could be announced to the stockholders o' this company, and it gives us as much joy to impart it as it will give them to receive it. While the stockholders are rejoicing at this good news, let them not forget to whom they are indebted for the result. They owe it to none but Dr. Fowlkes He has wrought out this result at the risk of health and fortune and life.

He has gone right on to success in spite of the mountainous opposit ion that was in his way and that would have caused almost any other mortal to have shrunk from the undertaking. Whatever his enemies may say against him, his conduct in the affairs of the Southern Pacific Railroad is a bright spot upon bis character, and would be an honor worth a life of toil to any man. He has identified his name with an enterprise that will live when generations yet unborn shall be swept from the earth, and no matter what president shall construct the road, now that it is out of trouble, Dr. Fowlks will be entitled to the glory of wrestling it lrom ruin and preparit the way for bis sue cessor to complete it.

She floated down stream, and burned to the water's edge. It is supposed to be a case of incendiarism. We learn from the Mobile Tribune, of the 2 jth, that on the night of the 25th, the steamer Falls City, bound from Montgomery to Mobile, run on a pi of logs, and was compelled to throw overboard about four hundred bales of cotion to save her from sinking. On her arrival at Mobile, as soon as her cotton was discharged, she was taken over to the ways, where she will undergo all the necessary repairs.

The Cincinnati Commercial, of last Thursday, announces tbe death of Mr. Silas Tbarp, the well-known foreman of the Marine Railway. The deceased was an ingenious mechanic and estimable citizen.

He built the lirst Cincinnati canal boat the Plough Boy.

One of these was mailed in Yallobusba county, and the other in Warren county.

The letters bear evidences of their absurdity upon their faces, aud are doubtless written in a spirit of malice or mischief, to create a sensation. We attach no importance whatever to them ourselves, and have mentioned them because they have been somewhat talked of iu this community, hereby tender theirrespectful acknowledgments of the receipt of tbe same, to Mrs. Hickey, expressive of our extreme gratification with the beautiful eift. and with the assurance that it By Mr. Walworth, to incorporate the Southern Insurance Company.

Mr. Hooker, from a Joint Standing Committee, to whom was referred that portion of the Governor's message, which has refereuce to the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, reported back a bill and recommended its passage. Reported also a memorial to the Congress of the United States and recommended it be adopted. Report received and agreed to.

Tbe State Convention of the Opposition party of Virginia, which was to assemble on the 14th of the present month, has been postponed by the central committee to the 22d of February next. The Nobfolk Excitement. The Norfolk Herald thus refers to the recent excitement there about affairs on the Eastern Shore: The excitement caused by the doings at Harper's Ferry, and the sensitiveness of the public mind to every whisper of danger from a similar source thereby induced, has not unnaturally suggested to mischievous and unprincipled individuals the facility and perfect security with which they may create annoyance and alarm through the medium of anonymous letters. Hundreds of these have been written, and probably diabolical ends of the writers have been attained in a few instances; but in most cases, they have been treated as they deserved, as "a weak invention of the enemy," to which no attention ought to be given. One of these missives a mischievous mind was sent to a prominent citizen ou the Eastern Shore within a few days, advising h'm of a projected rising among the negroes on the instant.

Now, as the negroes on the Eastern Shore fare a great deal better than the white laborers at the North, and have never that we have heard, ever manifested symptoms ot insubordination; and moreover as all the arms and ammunition are in the hands of the white people, the anonymous missive might and ought to have been treated with ridicule. But not so. The party who received it became greatly alarmed, and posted off to the Governor to apprise him of tlie important disclosure, and left a copy of the missive with a friend here, that it might be the means of alarming our community as much a3 he was alarmed himself. But it failed to do so, and only excited a general sentiment of derision. We feel just as secure here, with a negro population in our midst, if the Harper's Ferry raid had never been perpetrated.

Such things should be scowled out ol countenance. The Oxford Mercury, one of the ablest Democratic papers in North Mississippi, in an article ou the Planters' Bank Bonds, says: The debt is acknowledged by men of all parties to be honestly due. Our present Constitution, adopted in 1832, distinctly recognizes the debt. Because the State was swindled out of the amount by those conducting the Bank, is no reason why the debt should not be paid. We hope that the present Legislature, if they do not finally dispose of the matter, will at least adopt some measure looking to the honest discharge of that debt.

It ought to have been paid long ago; but the people of Mississippi will certainly pay it some day. By Telegraph. St. Loi is, Xov. reeding slowly; seven feet iu the channel to Cairo.

She sunk on Sunday morning, was raised ou Sunday evening, and passed down yesterday morning: A Card to tbe Public. The under signed passengers the stt-auier Sun-tioner, lioui Greenwood, to New Orleans, take pleasure in exculpating of said boat i'rom all blame in regard to the sinking of tliealxive named boat at the uitnilli of Kaj.le Lake, Vazno river, on Sunday la.t, about 9 o'clock, A. ll. The boat struck a stump or tr ee irwt about iliree feet Under water, and shivered lior timbers and plank for several feet on her starboard side.

She was found to lie making water rapidly when she was ordered to shore, and was landed immediately on the opposite side of the river on a bar, whei-e she sunk in five minutes, in five and a hall'l'eet water. In her perilous aidiiion, she was found to be breaking iu two, and it became absolutely necessary to throw the cargo overboard, in order to save tiie boat, which was immediately done. We tui thermore take pleasure in stating to the public, tiiat throughout the whole difficulty. Captain Oliver anil officers oi the boat acted with a great deal of coolness and energy, and all that could be done to save the cargo and boat was done, ami well done.

Illness of Justice Daniel. The Washington States and Union of the 25th, says: Mr. Justice Daniel lies in a very critical condition, aud hjs life is despaired of by friends who have witnessed the progress of the disease which now prostrates him so dangerously.

On Thursday, the Senate committee who were instructed to investigate, and if deemed constitutional, to report a bill providing for the more rigid execution of our inspection laws by imposing duties on the importation of all goods from certain States, asVed to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject which was received and agreed to. A bill in relation to the Holly Springs Life and General Insurance Company, was called np and passed the Senate. In the House, Mr.

At present, after the lapse of years has allowed the sense of wrong and loss on the part of the State to become less lively, a dispassionate review is possible, and this, we think, must lead to suuit islative action as will demonstrate that the ob ligation of a contract fulfilled on one side, is understood and regarded as binding on the other. We learn that several despatches arrived from the South last evening, offering military aid to the Executive of Virginia Richmond Dispatch. Should occasion require, and the danger become imminent of an invasion of Virginia, or any other Southern State, by an armed mob, and beyond the power of that State to suppress, we have not the least doubt that similar aid would be offered" with alacrity by the North.

It is proposed also to form a United State3 Aboriginal Department.

THAT IT TELLS CORRECTLY, AXD WITHOUT IX-TERRUPTIOX, THE TRUE TIME OF DAY. All other tests are illusory. If the Watch will not perform equally and with accuracy, it is to no purpose whatever that it is elaborately- finished, that curious shapes and patented devices are adopted, that novel escapements and ingenious contrivances for compensation are introduced, or that tho whole is covered by a famous name and by a massive and costly case. Hundreds of worthless Watches are beautifully finished, and some are exquisitely contrived to run badly and wear out quickly.

A great deal of work is most often a groat deal of complexity, and all will ailmit that no amount of mere polish will advantage any piece that is radically malformed or inexactly fitted. It is SIMPLICITY OF COXSTRVCTIOX. and such mathematical correctness in the sixe and shape of every part as the application of machinery to the purpose alone insures, that, with sufficient nicety of finish, accomplishes the desired result.

The want of discretion and prudence has led to the death of many a man of true courage and high talents and sensibility; but the habit of a portion of the public in certain parts of the country to impute a want of courage to those who will not condescend to use provoking language themselves nor retort with contumelious and degrading epithets, has also produced many a street rencontre, where the duel is prohibited by severe and infamous penalties, as in Tennessee. 1, 1866. 50,000 1, 1871.

A despatch from Baltimore of the 2d, gives the following: At Brown's execution, which took place today, everything was conducted with strict military discipline. At 11 o'clock this morning, Brown was conducted from his sell to the gallows. He was offered ministerial condolence, but replied that he scorned religious ceremonies on such an occasion. He then made some few remarks to those present, and then ascended with' firm steps to the scaffold The rope was then placed around his neck, and the drop took place. After hanging for half an hour, his body was cut down and delivered to his wife, who was present.

A despatch from Charlestown gives another version, somewhat different: John Jrown's execution took place this morning. There were 3000 military present. Brown was conveyed from his cell to the scaffold in a furniture wagon, sitting on the coffin. When he arrived at the scaffold he turned and surveyed the crowd serenely, but said nothing. He was on the scaffold for the space of ten iniuutes.

He died easy, and after hanging thirty minutes his body was cut Tiown and conveyed to jail. His body is to be sent to Harper's Ferry, and delivered to his wife, who is to take it North for interment.

Having achieved this decisive victory a victory with a reason for it the American Watch Company is far from being disappointed at thefrequent and unscrupulous opposition it meets from man-in the importing business. This opposition was to have been expected, and the occasion of it will be apparent to any one who considers the extent of the importers' trade and its highly profitable character. The Company has m. reason to be dissatisfied with the amount of patronage it receives, since it is obliged by the multiplication of orders, largely to increase its force, and to work by night as well as day; but it is not content that any portion of the country should be, misled as to the real merit of its Watches.

Unfortunately there is no article in eommon use which people so little understand as a Watch, and a man's watchmaker is his only reliance for judgment. So long, therefore, us imported Watches ield a rich prcfit to the importer, the Company expects a good deal of decrying and di iS 8hakin of tn head and faint The Company is gratified to be able to say, however, that there are huudreds in tbe trade whose supreme interest is not in importation, or in an old stck on hand, who have uo national antipathies to an American Watch; who, indeed, from patriots motives, would rather distribute them, even if they were not twtcs aaeoand and honest, and cheap as any other-with whom Waltham Watches may he found.

The Nashville Bonner of the 30th, in calling attention to the full report of the evidence in the above case, remarks: The examination of the witnesses in the case of Mr. Hall, terminated yesterday, and we present this morning a full report of the evidence.

We desire to offer no comment upon it. The testimony substantiates our original statement of the affair in the main, as far as that went. The principal new features of the case brought out by the evidence are the facts proven by the prosecution that Mr. Poindexter, after having been twice, had concluded not to return to Mr. Hall's office a third time, but to seek a meeting at another time, on the street or elsewhere, though no intimation of this conclusion had been sent to Mr.

Hall; and further, that his intention in going there at first was to commit a simple assault upon Mr. Hall by slapping him with his open- hand or striking him with his umbrella, as circumstances might determine, and that he was prepared for what might i We stated in our account of the affair that Mr. when called upon by Mr. Hall to "stop," "made a movement as if to draw pistol."
