A pretty Device. --Among the attractive features of the illumination last Friday night, was a mansion, in miniature, with its numerous windows lighted up, at the establishment of Roper & Murray, on Gevernor street.

The ship Argo. --A New York paper publishes the following information about "the good ship Argo:" The Argo, which, while on her way from Richmond to Bremen, laden with a valuable cargo of tobacco, was seized in Hampton Roads by the commander of the Minnesota, and sent to this port in charge of a prize crew, arrived on Sunday evening. She is a fine large ship, built in Maine, and commanded by an Eastern captain, and will prove a rich prize to the crew of the steam frigate. She was surrendered into the hands of United State Marshal Murray yesterday, who immediately placed two of his deputies on board. The libel will be filed against her to-day, and there can be no question but that she will be confiscated.

ce of the money appropriated, which was abundantly sufficient to take us to our respective homes. During the whole time we met with no injury whatever, but were kindly treated in every way, shape and manner. At Mobile, we were asked by the Captain whether any of us wished to join the Southern Navy, in which case they would be sent to New Orleans free, which offer none of us accepted, but departed for home in peace. One of the two negroes belonging to our crew, and whose name is Waiter Murray, confessed to his being a runaway slave and belonging to a man in Baltimore. They were both detained at Montgomery, but I have no further knowledge of them. I would also state that we were under no military escort from the time we left Lake Ponchartrain until we departed from Mobile for home. The very kind treatment of Capt. Meers on his boat to and from Montgomery, will or ought never to be forgotten by our crew, he having shown himself not only a good man, but a gentleman, in every

Cheroker Georgia can bread the Army --Look at These Figures.--Floyd county will make a surplus of 200,000 bushels of wheat; Cass, Gordon, Whitfield and Murray will average a like amount, making 1,200,000 bushels.--One bushel of wheat will make forty pounds of flour, which will feed him twelve months, and by the rule of three 1,200,000 bushels will feed 100,000 troops for one year. If six counties in Cherokee Georgia can, from her surplus grain, supply our army with bread, we inquire, can we not find six counties of Tennessee that will supply the pork? We have no doubt of it. We can fight and feed, and with the spirit of our Floyd county farmers, it makes no difference whether their wheat brings fifty cents or fifty dollars a bushel; it's all for the boys, anyhow.--Roms Southerner.

The slave trade[from the New York Tribune.] In concert with the Government, Marshal Murray has recently perfected in Washington arrangements to baffle the purposes of those slave traders who, driven from this port, are preparing to prosecute their nefarious traffic abroad. The recent condemnations of the Sarah and Augusta, and thearried some of the piratical gentry from our inhospitable shores; and, if we may not have the satisfaction of seeing many of them vigorously punished for their crimes, we can at least congratulate ourselves that, through the energetic action of Mr. Murray, the pestilent crew have been driven out of the country. The Government has recently sent instructions to all our Consuls at foreign ports to refuse clearances to vessels from this country whose legitimate cargoes may be discharged and repl
