Council elected William Tilley, Clerk of the Market; John Peabody, City Attorney ; F. C. Ellison, City Physician ; Thomas Gilbert & Co., City Printers; Joseph E. Webster, Wharfinger ; C. F. Neuffer, Magazine Keeper ; Mrs. Isabella McGehee, Hospital Keeper. Port Wardens-Jas. M. Everett, T. O. Douglass, Van Marcus, S. Ogletree, A. M. Kimbrough.
The report of the Treasurer showed that the city was in- debted for bonds to the Mobile and Girard Railroad $300,000, bonds to Opelika Branch Road $50,000, bonds to City Gas Light Company $10,000, Muscogee Railroad stock $1,200, stock for Opelika Railroad Depot $10,000, and stock for div- idends in Gas Light Company $2,000.
Council made a contract, in February, with Messrs. Goetchius & Hodges for the building of a new Market House on Oglethorpe street, near St. Clair. Some of the citizens filed an injunction a few days afterwards.
Messrs. J. A. Bradford, M. Barschall and S. R. Andrews, assessors of real estate in the city, reported in February that

they had taken the census of Columbus, and gave the follow- ing statistics : White males 2,381, white females 2,394- total whites 4,755 ; colored males 1,013, colored females 1,328-total colored 2,341 ; total population 7,116. Value of real estate, $2,966,200. This enumeration included only the city proper, within the incorporated limits.
The Enquirer of the 10th of April announced that the Eagle Manufacturing Company had purchased the Howard Fac- tory, and would run both establishments. It added: "We understand that these united Factories run 10,000 cotton and 1,300 woolen spindles; that they have 282 looms weaving cotton and woolen goods; that they consume nine bales of cotton and 1,000 pounds of wool per day, and employ 500 hands, at an expense of $240 per day for their labor. The capital employed is $375,000."
Work was commenced on the Mobile and Girard Railroad Bridge this year, but was suspended after the construction of two of the piers, and the bridge was not finished until after the war.
S. B. Warnock was on the 30th of June elected an Alder- man of the 3d Ward, in the place of Alderman Bivins, re- signed. The whole city voted, and the election aroused con- siderable interest, from the fact that the candidates ran as friends or opponents of the re-election of Maj. Howard as President of the Mobile and Girard Railroad. Mr. Warnock was opposed to Major Howard's re-election, and received 350 votes to 299 for Mr. T. O. Douglas. Council had instructed its delegates to the Convention of stockholders to vote for Major Howard, but after this election it re-considered that vote and instructed them to vote for Wm. H. Mitchel, Esq. At the meeting of stockholders, Mr. Mitchel was elected without op- position.
There were several projects of improvement in whose be- half aid from the city was this year asked. There were the Opelika and Talledega, the Opelika and Oxford, and the La-

PARTY POLITICS.
Grange Railroads, further aid to the Mobile and Girard Rail- road, so as to extend it to Union Springs ; and a system of Water Works for the city. Council adopted an ordinance submitting to a vote of the people, on the first Saturday in July, the question of subscribing not exceeding $150,000 for the introduction of water into the city, and $100,000 to the Opelika and Talladega Railroad (now known as the Savannah and Memphis.) The vote was taken on each proposition sep- arately. The subscription to the Railroad was approved by a vote of 206 to 27. The vote on the Water Works question stood-yeas 38, nays 187. The proposition thus defeated was to bring water into the city from the river above, by means of an aqueduct.
The tax returns of the county, made this year, showed 981 polls, number of slaves 6,164, free, negroes 37, number of acres of land-first quality 1,983, second quality 2,568, third quality 27,926, pine land 176,883, value of land $1,800,474, value of city property $2,415,625, value of slaves $4,203,350, amount of money and solvent debts $3,076,128, amount of merchandise $1,078,905, amount of shipping or tonnage $17,- 920, all other capital invested in stock of any kind $548,115, value of household and kitchen furniture over $300 -- $139,200, value of other property not before enumerated $407,796- total $13,687,486. This being the year immediately preced- ing the war, these statistics are interesting for comparison.
The census taken this year by the Federal authorities showed a white population in Columbus proper (not taking in Wynnton, &c.,) of 5,674, slaves 3,265, free negroes 100 -- total 9,039. The total population of Muscogee county, by this census, was 17,039.
Party politics ran very high this year, particularly after the election of Abraham Lincoln as President in November. The question of secession engaged the attention of the people of Columbus, as of every other city of the South. The Se- cession party had a majority in the city, though the co-oper-

ationists were pretty strong and made a stout contest. An organization called the "Southern Guard" was formed in Co- lumbus very soon after the November election. It partook of a military character, with a Captain, Lieutenants and other officers. The old military companies of the city joined it. On the night of the 23d of December the city was brilliantly illuminated in honor of the secession of South Carolina. Some of the devices displayed by the arrangement of lights were very pretty and brilliant. It was a beautiful and im- posing pageant. There was at the same time a very large meeting in Temperance Hall, which the several military com- panies attended in uniform. Spirited speeches were deliver- ed. A torch-light procession through the streets, with ban- ners and emblems, was a magnificent sight. Bonfires blazed in the streets, fireworks sparkled and hissed, and altogether it was an extraordinary and most exciting and impressive spectacle. Of the papers of the city, the Times advocated secession, the Enquirer co-operation, and the Sun had two editors, one of whom was a co-operationist and the other a separate State secessionist.
.
INCIDENTS.
A curious spectacle was presented at the wharf in the ear- ly part of January, by the steamers Oswichee and Munner- lyn lying high and dry out of the water. The river fell so rapidly on the night of the 2d as to leave them in that fix. The Munnerlyn was extricated on the 10th of January, with- out much damage. The Oswitchee was relieved on the 25th of January.
The residence of Joseph Rempert, on Troup street, was burnt on the 18th of January. The house belonged to John Quin.
About one hundred bales of cotton from Macon, en route for Apalachicola, arrived in Columbus on the 20th of Janua- ry. The river trade was active, and Apalachicola flourish- ing then.

INCIDENTS.

The extensive furniture factory of Mr. Walton K. Harris, known as the "Novelty Works," was destroyed by fire on the evening of the 7th of April, with a large quantity of fur- niture, finished and unfinished. The loss was $14,000 or $15,000, and insurance about $8,000. The stable, kitchen and smoke-house of Capt. McAlister, on the adjoining lot, were also burnt.
A great bank robbery, discovered on the 10th of April, created no little astonishment and interest. It was found that about $45,500 had been stolen from the agency in Co- lumbus of the Marine Bank of Savannah, of which Mr. L. G. Bowers was agent. Mr. Bowers offered a reward of $7,500 for the recovery of the money and the detection of the thief. Early on the morning of the 12th of April, a package con- taining $30,000 of the money was found on a little bridge in the outskirts of the city, near the Orphan Asylum; and later in the day $13,000 more of it was found secreted under the steps of a house in the same neighborhood. Mr. E. B. Holmes, the teller of the agency, was arrested and gave bond in the sum of $2,500, which was about the amount of the loss of the Bank.
122
INCIDENTS.
On the night of the 12th of April, the extensive livery stable of Mr. A. Gamell, on Jackson street, was destroyed by fire, with several small buildings in the rear of the stable. Six mules and fifteen horses perished in the flames. The buggies and other vehicles were mostly saved, but 225 bales of hay and a large quantity of corn and fodder were burnt. The loss was not less than $15,000, only partly covered by insurance. The fire was believed to have been the work of an incendiary.
The steamer Oswichee was sunk at Francis Bend, on the 14th of April, while on her way from Columbus to Apalach- icola. The passengers and crew all escaped. Most of the cotton floated off and was afterwards picked up.
The kitchens of Mr. F. S. Chapman and Mr. Tillman, on adjoining lots, were burnt by a fire on the night of the 29th of April, with two other small outbuildings.
John O'Brian, who lived in Girard and worked in Colum- bus, was killed on the Girard end of the bridge, on the 6th of May, by William B. Martin, of Girard. They had a diffi- culty, O'Brian used brick-bats, and Martin a pistol. The later was bound over in the sum of $2,500, but was never tried.

The first bale of new cotton was received on the 26th of July. It was from the plantation of Col. C. B. Taliaferro, near Girard, and was sold at auction at 12} cents per pound.
A stranger calling himself John Sley, drew money on a check presented to the agency of the Marine Bank, on the 31st of July, and the genuineness of the check being suspect- ed, he was pursued, when he ran into the river, intending, no doubt, to swim across, but the strong current bore him down
