Mr.. FILLMORE AND e HENRY Lone. We

ing the recent visit of Mr.. Fillmore to that
place, among the servants who waited upon hin
at the Atlanta Hotel, was the famous Henry
Long. who, it will be remembered, was the first
fugitive slave delivered up under the act oi

ANOTHER ENTERPRIsE.-The st. Louis Intelli-
gencer of the 18th says: ...-
We learn that the managers of the Great Cen
trail Michigan, and the Central Illinois roads

build line of steamers between New Orleans

Cotton, an enterprising gentleman, connected
with the railroad lines, has been in our city and

CRops IN FLORIDA The Tallahassee Sentinel
of the 18th says: E=42&-z
We have been informed by number d
friends in this county, and few out of it, that
the crops here and hereabouts are rather back
ward, but upon the whole quite as promising
and IN many instances, even more so, than they
were up to this date last year.
ILLINOIS WHEAT CRoP.-The season is now 81
far advanced that growers can judge, with
much accuracy, what are the prospects of the
approaching wheat crop; and the accounts
which reach US from all parts Of the State give
promise of a full and bountifu1 harvest. We
learn from one of our miliers, who has just re-
turned from a tour throughout this part Of the
State, that he has never seen finer wheat fields
any where, and that, if nothing intervenes To
cut off the promised yield, the crop will exceed
all calculation. We shall not be surprised il
illinois shall this year take her place, next to
Ohio, as the second wheat growing State in the
Union. Alton Telegraph, 18th
A REVEREND PRoFLlGATE - The Winsboro
Is. 60 Register says that it learns through a
private, but indisputable source, that the Rev
Or. VIM. L. Hamilton, of the Government street
Presbyterian Church, Mobile, g clergyman who
has gained great celebrity in many parts of the
Union for his ability and eloquence, has been
compelled to leave Mobile on account of certain
disclosures having been made which showed
that he has led for some time past career OF
unbridled hcentiousness and profigacy, causing
the ruin OF several unsuspecting females, taking
advantage of the confidence to which, as a min
lister of the Gospel, he was naturally entitled
The Register says that he was forewarned by
number of the citizens of Mobile, before hi
netarious deeds had become generally known
to leave the city by certain time, which hi
did, or mob-yiolence would be done him.

BUFFALoEs. Col. Vaughan says that withir
the bounds of his agency, where the American
Fur Company are operating and trading with
the Indians, the number of buffaloes killed an
nually is not short of 100000 He took much
pains to procure the best information on the
subject, and his estimate cannot be very moor
rect. Not less than 100000 robes have been
shipped within his agency during the last year.
One hundred and fifty thousand of those ami
mails are destroyed, and thousands of hides are
used by the Indians to make their lodges
Large numbers Of buffaloes are frozen or starv-
ed to death in the snow banks, and many art
drowned by crossing the Missouri river in largt
herds, all efoWdlng upon one another.

Farms, Conn, lately left the Methodist and
