AIR IN ANDIRoNs. Not long since the
family of the editor Of the Southern SEMI
mel, published at Columbus, Ga, was alarmed
BY sudden and tremendous explosion, about
ten o'clock at night, in an adjoining ROOM
Upon inquiry it was ascertaned that the hol
low brass knob Of a common andron had
exploded. throwing fragment Of it with
grent force into the ceiling. The report was
louder than that Of pistol and The knob
was thrown with sufficient force 10 have
killed man. The circumstance was at,rib-
uted to The sudden expansion of the air CON
fined within the knob, but as such an occur
renee had never been known before and The
explanation was regarded rs unsatisfactory,
no mention WAS made Of it. The editor now
states that he has known Of three different
explosions under exactly similar circum-
stances-all Of them fortunately harmless.
but in each case the fIngm Of the knob
was thrown with force enough to have killed
or seriously wounded any one whom il might
have struck, and suggests that If they are
used, the knob should have hole drilled in
it Of sufficient size TO admit tho free escape
Of any air that it may contain. ~

0F The Citizens Temperance Meeting at
the City Hall, last Friday evening, was well
attended, and the account Of the proceedings at
the State Convention, given by the delegates,
was listened to with evident interest. Some
startling disclosures were made by the City
Marshal, in regard to some of our young men,
who, it was said, were in the habit of indulging
in potent libations at the shrine of Bacchus,
while their parents seem not to be aware of the
course they are pursuing. Further Develop

JACKSON AND INTERVENTION. The following
is an extract from the speech of Col Small, at
the Kossuth meeting in Philadelphia
What do you think the immortal Jackson
would have said upon the subject of non in
tervention at this time. Immense cheering.
l can imagine, gentlemen. The old hero,
watching with deep interest the struggle be.
tween Hungary and Austria, and the approach
of the Russian Bear to take part against the
gallant Magyar, would have said at once to the
latter, Halt, there, Mr.. Bear. this is. none of
your business; we will just draw ring and
show the parties fair play, but if You do mix
in. look out for yourself. I'll be in. too, by the
Eternal" The applause and cheering at this
remark were of the most enthusiastic charac-
te.

The Magazines.

BLAcKwooD's MAGAZINE, for January, is upon
our table. Its contents are:-Political and
Monetary Prospects-Dramas-M Mont Blanc
The Rural superstitions Of Western France
Husbands. Wives. Fathers, Mothers--My Nov
el-Struggles for Fame and Fortune-Lord
George Bentinck. The high order of the dis
QUESTIONS of this magazine has long rendered IL
distinguished, while its range of elegant fiction
may be said to discover mastery power and
SKILL unsurpassed by any Of its numerous CO.
temPoraries. In its biographical department,
and narratives of voyages and travels, no less
than in its papers on subjects purely scientific.
this admirable Periodical hiss ever displayed re
sources superior to any similar work in the
world. As to its political opinions, although
deeply infused with Toryism. TO an, extent the
most Jealous partizan could desire yet so
witching is its rhetoric, and so consistently un-
form is it in its anti-republican obiquity that,
however obnoxious its tenets, it is impossible
for the reader to fail of being charmed by the
perusal of its brilliant pages. The fact of this
distinguished Magazine having, for a series of
years, maintained circulation in Great Britain
of about 40 900 copes-a prodigous and un-
equaled circulation for that country, where
the price is $3.50 year, will alone settle the
question of its pre- eminent merits. The same
remark is equally applicable to this country !;
it is well known that its circulation, even in
the United States. is already far above that
of any other work of its class. Notwithstanding
the unpalatable character ofits politics, fact
which can only be accounted for by the trans
cendent ability which characterizes its pages.

DEAR JouRNAL:-Drays carts, carriages,
horses, &c. continue to fill up the pages of
our daily his tory, and but little exciting
transpires to relieve the ennui Of our news
mongers. The truth is business and life in
California is being reduced into too much
system and regularity TO prove longer a
wonder. The ocean steamers arrive too Of
ten, the mails too frequent, and the interior
travel is too rapid and common to suit those
Of US who are beginning to consider us as
"pioneers." And then, brick buildings and
blocks arc going up with such rapidity
throughout the .eugth and breadth of the
city, that it ceases to excite even passage
notice. Time ,rds when the erection OF
such building as the "Eldorado" would
have been heralded through the City, and
State but alas, for the good old days Of
adobes! time, and the genius Of the "Uni-
versal Yankee Nation" are silently working
great changes for us.
The arrival of the Monumental City, on
Tuesday, was the signal for new and clam
orous complaints, against the Nicaragua
Line" under whose management she made
her last trip. You will doubtless have seen
the card of the passengers on her, published
in the Herald yesterday morning, in which
the causes Of complaint are set forth. II
they are true, it is just cause Of complaint,
and the public should be put on their guard
against similar impositions in future, and
by Withholding patronage from the route,
they will soon be corrected. One thing is GER
tain-too many passengers (ncarly 5oo) were
crowded upon her, and the law regulating
the carriage Of passengers should be enforced
most rigidly, against every similar violation.
Human life, enough in all conscience. has
been sacrafced to the rapacity of these pas
90 nger lines on our coast, and 1t is time
stop was put to 1t.
Our two theatres continue to present more
than ordinary attractions to our play loving
people. The Jenny Lind, with Mr. Waller,
and MIR. and Mrs. Baker, has given US very
FUR dramatic representations. The two latter
performers are still there. The American dur
ing the past few weeks has had an extraordi-
nary patronage, resulting from the judicious
management of Mr.. Stark, who has wisely
consulted the public taste, by producing seve-
raj excellent comedies in superior style.
Chanfrau and Miss Albertine have proved so
much of card, that the manager has wisely
concluded a second engagement, with them
which they are now playing. This, under
stand, is their farewell engagement in Cali
fornia. 0n Tuesday evening, the 'lron Chest
WAS played in'admirable style, Mr.. Stark ms
Sir Edward Mortimer, and Mrs. Stark as
