The tax ordinance of this year imposed about the same general rates of taxation as that of 1844.

The contract system for crossing the bridge by the year was again adopted, no contract for less than $10.

In January, Council appointed Messrs. E. W. B. Spivey, John T. Walker, and Wm. H. Alston, Appraisers, to assess the value of the real estate of the city. They reported, on the 4th of February, the whole valuation $1,192,295, being somewhat less than the previous year's assessment.

The Committee on Police appointed the following City Guard for the year, to be paid each $15 per month: T. A. Bosworth, Silas McMichael, T. W. Dickson.

The Committee on Finance reported in January that the city would have to pay during the year $3,600 to John G. Winter, $9,000 to the State, and $333 to Patrick Adams, besides about $1,000 of accounts for last year and the current expenses of the city for the present year. By arrangement, Messrs. Mustian and Mott had agreed, in consideration of the passage of the bridge by their line of stages, to hold over until the end of the year, without interest, $3,200 of the city's certificates of deposit held by them.

The above report was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and this Committee reported the entire indebtedness of the city about $63,750, of which amount $4,791 was then due, and $10,171.23 would fall due during the year--making in all $14,961.90 for the year to be provided for, besides $7,500 estimated current expenses. They estimated the income at $17,637.90--leaving $4,824 to be provided for, besides a small amount of city bonds, certificates, &c., that might have to be redeemed.

Besides a considerable amount of the city's bills still in circulation, a large quantity of "shinplasters" issued by other corporations and by individuals were afloat. We copy from the Enquirer the following quotations for March of this irredeemable currency:

Bank of Columbus bills 70 per cent, discount; Phoenix Bank, of Columbus, no sale; Irwinton Bridge, 25 per cent, discount; Insurance Bank, of Columbus, no circulation; Chattahoochee Railroad and Banking Company, broke; City Council of Columbus, 10 per cent, discount; Scott & Carhart's shinplasters, at par; E. & R. Graves' shinplasters, 10 per cent, discount; Sight Checks on New York and Boston, � per cent, premium.

Columbus had the following fire--proof warehouses: H. S. Smith & Co.'s, capacity 14,000 bales; J. C. & F. N. Ruse's, 15,000; Yonge, Garrard & Hooper's, 15,000. E. S. Greenwood & Co. were building a fire-proof warehouse with slate roof, capacity, 10,000 bales. Each warehouse opened west on a street that extended to the river.

A committee of Council reported in favor of the enlargement of the cemetery by the addition of 602 feet in length and 320 feet in width, and the enclosure of the whole under one new fence; also a sale of burying lots to defray the expense of this improvement. Whereupon Council appointed another committee to have a survey of the grounds made, and to carry out the plan and recommendations of the first committee, if it could be done without expense to the city.

In March, Alderman Everett, of the 4th Ward, resigned, and P. A. Clayton was elected in his stead.

Permission was given to the "Columbus Engine Company" to erect a fire engine house on the west side of Front Street, at its junction with St. Clair Street--where the engine house now stands. On the 19th of April Council appropriated $200 towards building the house.

We learn from a memorial presented to Council by Messrs. John H. Howard and Josephus Echols, that their companies' cotton factory had in operation this year about 1,100 spindles and 20 looms. They also reported that their upper canal, when completed, would supply water enough to propel 200,000 spindles. They asked a release from their obligation to construct the lower canal within a specified time, and for absolute deeds to the water lots, which would enable them to effect sales of a portion of them and thus extend the manufacturing business of the city. Council adopted a resolution agreeing to the requests contained in the memorial.

This action of Council appears to have met with opposition from the citizens. At a called meeting of Council on the 21st April, the clerk was directed to publish a hand bill calling a meeting of citizens to consider the memorial of Messrs. Howard and Echols, on the following Friday evening; and at its regular meeting on the 26th of April, Council passed a resolution declaring that its former action was not intended to release Messrs. Howard and Echols from or modify any of the conditions respecting the dam and upper race, or any of the reservations of the city in the original contract, in regard to the fisheries, the right to take gravel, and the keeping of the dam and upper race in good repair forever.

In this connection the Enquirer states: "Col. Farrish Carter, of Scottsboro', and Dr. Baird, of Alabama, have purchased large interests in factories here. They now have 1,200 spindles at work; very soon they will have 3,500. They will proceed to erect additional buildings, and in twelve months will have from 10,000 to 15,000 spindles in operation.

By resolution, adopted on the 9th of June, the Marshal was instructed to have a ditch cut so as to turn the branch running through Randolph and Forsyth streets into the ditch back of the city.

Under the head of "What Next," the Times of April 16th, refers to the project of Telegraphic connection with New York, via New Orleans and Mobile, as follows, the Telegraph having only been brought into practical use the year before (May 27,) by a line between Baltimore and Washington:

"A new and grand project is on foot, which, if successful, will produce the astounding result of getting one's news in Columbus from New York, by the way of Mobile and New Orleans. Is not the world going ahead too fast? Space is annihilated as to the transition of mind, and almost to matter, by the Telegraph and Steam."

The Times this year urgently advocated an effort on the part of the city to have the Montgomery and West Point Railroad brought to Columbus. It was then only completed to Auburn, 35 miles from Columbus.

On the 18th of August a committee of mechanics, appointed by Council, reported the bridge to be in a condition needing repairs--the floor sunk in some places, some of the supporting timbers out of perpendicular line, and parts of the structure swayed downstream. Council passed a resolution calling upon Mr. Godwin, the builder, to observe his contract, which required him to keep the bridge in good repair for the space of five years.

At its meeting on the 15th September, Council adopted the following preamble and resolutions:

"Whereas, on the first of January, the City Council in assessing the taxes for the year 1845 and regulating tolls across the bridge for said year, relieved several articles from any liability to pay the tolls that should come across the bridge from Alabama for the mutual benefit of Columbus and Girard; and whereas, it is known to this Council that the authorities of Russell County, Ala., have imposed a tax or toll upon all wagons, carriages, men and horses and foot passengers, thereby militating materially against the interests of this city, and not extending to Columbus that leniency that the authorities of the city have to Alabama, which the principles of justice would dictate,

"Be it Resolved, That for the purpose of removing that obstruction (the toll across said bridge in Girard, Ala.) which materially involves the interest of Columbus as well as Girard and the county of Russell, a committee of three be appointed by the Chair, whose duty it shall be to confer with the authorities of Russell in relation to the propriety of enforcing and collecting such toll, and in the event that said committee should not be able, after a consultation had, to effect or dispense with said toll, the bridge-keeper be instructed forthwith to make all persons residing in Russell County alone to pay all tolls across the bridge at Columbus that they have been released from heretofore, also to collect toll from foot passengers who reside in Russell County, but none others."

The committee appointed were Aldermen Marshall, McKendree and Robinson.

On the 8th of October, Council passed a resolution instructing the bridge-keeper to collect tolls from all foot passengers across the bridge except from citizens of Muscogee County; also a resolution appointing a committee of three to make inquiries in regard to the lawfulness of constructing a bridge across the creek in Girard, and to confer with Col. Banks about building it on his land.

It appears in the proceedings of Council that the bridge over the creek in Girard was released from toll before the close of the year, and that Benj. H. Baker, of Russell County, Ala., was largely instrumental in effecting this adjustment.

On the 25th of October Council substantially reconsidered the above action.

A resolution was adopted in October, fixing the price of lots in the new burying ground at $5, that being the highest price bid.

Council adopted resolutions in October, appointing a committee of citizens to attend a convention in Macon of the stockholders of the Central Railroad, to see what could be done towards procuring an extension of that road from Macon to Columbus, or connecting with it at Barnesville.

The committee went to Macon, and had a conference with the Central Railroad officers. Columbus wanted connection with Macon via Barnesville (the Macon and Western Railroad, then called the Monroe Railroad, was being extended to Atlanta.) The Central road, however, wanted a direct line to Columbus. L. O. Reynolds, surveyor of the Central, reported the distance between Barnesville and Columbus seventy-two miles, and between Macon and Columbus little less than one hundred. The cost of both would be about the same-$1,000,000. The result was that President R. R. Cuyler and the Board, advocated the lower line, and looked to a connection with the Montgomery road at Auburn, to which point it had been extended. The Board recommended to the stockholders of the Central Railroad: To ask an amendment of the charter to extend the road to Columbus; to authorize a new subscription of $1,000,000 (one-fourth to be paid on subscribing) for that purpose. If that be not adopted, to incorporate a new company to build a road from the Central Railroad to Columbus by the lower route. If application be made by others for a charter from Barnesville to Columbus, no opposition or unfriendly feeling to be exhibited against it. If both charters be granted, an understanding may be had by which one of the two projects may be carried on and the, other abandoned. Subsequently the Legislature incorporated the Muscogee Railroad Company; also, to change the name of the Munroe "Railroad to Macon and Western, with power to extend a branch to Columbus.

There was some excitement on the subject of small-pox in October and November. A Dr. McGoulrich, of Macon, had sent to Columbus, in the stage, a small-pox patient, stating that he knew his disease was only chicken-pox, but there was evidence to show that he had admitted that he knew it to be a case of small-pox, and had sent off the patient to get rid of him. Council transmitted the evidence in the case to the authorities of Macon.

A building had been selected in the Sixth Ward for the temporary reception of persons who had been exposed to small-pox, and this building was torn down by residents of the ward. Council instructed the Marshal to commence prosecution against the parties who destroyed the building.

It does not appear that the disease obtained much foothold, but it occasioned much alarm, and led to the adoption of vigorous measures to prevent its spread. A circus company in the city was prohibited from performing because one of its members "had the disease; measures were taken, in cooperation with the county authorities, to quarantine or remove all cases to the hospital, and provision was made for general vaccination.

The county census takers reported in December that they had taken the census of the city of Columbus separately, and made the following return:

773d District-Free white persons, 1,963; slaves, 1,230; free persons of color, 25. Total, 3,218.
668th District-Free white persons, 1,096; slaves, 521; free persons of color, 31. Total, 1,648.
Aggregate population, 4,886; aggregate number of families, 597.

The total population of Muscogee County was 16,343.

We find mention of the following hotels in Columbus this year: Oglethorpe House, on the corner of Oglethorpe and Randolph streets, Commodore Hurd, landlord; Mansion House, on Broad street, above Bryan, Captain Barrow, land lord; City Hotel, corner of Broad and St. Clair streets, the Messrs. Bass, landlords; Kentucky House, on Oglethorpe street, above the Oglethorpe House, Wm. Perry, landlord; Central Hotel, corner of Broad and Randolph streets, G. W. Dillard, landlord.

The Enquirer of December reported, "the manufacturing excitement is largely on the increase. Messrs. Howard, Bridges, Carter, Baird and Jeter are pushing their improvements ahead. Messrs. Van Leonard and others, are also erecting a factory a mile or two above our city. Messrs. Clapp, Chandler and Stewart are successfully and most profitably employed in manufacturing several descriptions of cotton goods. We have heard of other companies formed or to be formed."

On Friday, 19th of December, about midnight, a fire broke out in Mitchell & Baugh's store on Broad street, one door below Banks' corner and opposite Lyceum Hall, and in a few hours the entire square, bounded by Broad, Randolph, Oglethorpe and Bryan streets (except that small portion above Mr. Well's refectory on Oglethorpe) was converted into a heap of ruins. Loss $150,000. The Oglethorpe and other houses were on fire, but were put out. Water was scarce. The Columbus Guards guarded the property. The origin of the fire was unknown. The Columbus Times office was burned, but enough material saved to go on. The Enquirer building, opposite the square, was threatened and office moved. What was known as the "granite block," valued at $18,000, on Oglethorpe street, belonging to D. McDougald, was burned. Most of the houses on the block were of brick. Banks and Winter lost heavily. The block was then one of the busiest in the city. Dr. R. A. Ware's residence was saved.

Mr. Josiah Pranglin, an active and valuable member of the Fire Company, had a wall to fall on him and break both his thighs and otherwise injure him. He got well.

Among the boats running this winter were the Columbus, Notion, Lotus, Boston, Apalachicola, Augusta, Peytona and Emily.

The Times of the 8th January publishes a letter from President Polk regretting he cannot take Columbus in his route to Washington City, and receive the hospitalities of the Democracy tendered him through a committee of the party, consisting of Messrs. Jacob M. Guerry, Walter T. Colquitt, and Seaborn Jones.

Columbus seems this year to have had much trouble with the money currency then used, and the Times has a strong editorial on the "Uselessness and viciousness" of the "Shinplaster System," and asks the question, "When are we to be delivered from a shinplaster currency?" Some of the merchants were refusing to take the "shinplasters."

Montgomery was now pushing her railroad towards West Point. The following report of altitudes, &c., made by M. A. A. Dexter, chief engineer, may be of interest now: "You will perceive that Montgomery and Columbus are on the same level. West Point is 400 feet above either point. The Montgomery Railroad has 1,000 feet absolute elevation each way to the summit. A road to Columbus would have but some 600, and possibly less. This saving of 400 feet or more in elevation would affect an enormous aggregate in favor of the Columbus branch in a year's running."

Cotton took a wide range in prices this year. It opened in January at 2 to 4�c., principal sales at 3 to 3�c. The first bale of the new crop was brought in on the 5th of August, by Thos. Gilbert, of Stewart County, and sold to Mr. LeGrand Wright at 8�c. The market for the new commercial year opened in September at 6� to 7c., and drooped to 5� to 6�c in November. The closing quotations, December 16th, were 5� to 6�c. The receipts of the year ending August 31st were about 85,000 bales, an estimated falling off of about 30,000 from the preceding year's receipts.

Incidents

A new Presbyterian Church, the building now used for the Male Public School, was dedicated on the 25th of January. Rev. Dr. Goulding officiated.

John C. Tozier, of Columbus, on March 18th, was killed by falling out of the stage from Macon. Both wheels passed over him.

A Board of Trade was organized in Columbus on the 3d of July, with Henry King, chairman, and C. E. Mims, secretary.

Rev. Thomas Jepson, of the M. E. Church, was thrown from his horse on August 12th, nine miles north of Columbus, and died four hours after. His age was 40 years.

The mail and travel connections of Columbus, as late as this year, were all made by stages and boats. Messrs. Mustian & Mott ran a line of stages connecting the Central with the Montgomery and West Point Railroad. The point of connection on the last named road was Chehaw at this time. The Northern mail for Columbus came by stage from LaGrange.

The steamer Siren, Captain Sharpless, plying between Chattahoochee and Apalachicola Bay, burst one of her boilers, Feb. 26th, as the boat was rounding out from Toney's Landing, and killed six whites and four blacks, among the former a son of Mrs. Tilley, of Columbus. The killed, with the exception of one of the blacks, were a part of the crew.

The steamboat Lowell, Captain Moore, was snagged and sunk on March 4th, a few miles below Fort Gains, on the Chattahoochee River, at a place called "the Cowpen." The principal part of her cargo and machinery was saved. The boat was represented as not worth raising if it were practicable.

The steamer Viola, Captain Van Vechten, was snagged and sunk in the Flint River, a few miles below Albany, about the same time. She was represented as a total wreck and about one-half of her cargo--1,030 bales of cotton--a total loss. Captain V. owned half of the "Siren," which had blown up a few weeks before.

The steamer Charleston, Captain Freeman, collapsed one of her boilers, while crossing Uchee Shoals, sixteen miles below Columbus, on the 3d of May. Fortunately only one person a Negro man was injured, and he only slightly scalded.

On Saturday, June 21st, the Columbus Guards started on a visit to LaGrange. The brass band numbered sixteen pieces, taught by Sergt. Berneriter leader of the United States band at Fort Moultrie. They returned via the White Sulphur Springs, where they were given a ball. The company numbered sixty men. Officers, P. T. Schley, Captain; Jno. E. Davis, 1st Lieutenant; E. E. Goulding, 2d Lieutenant John Forsyth, 3d Lieutenant. They paraded in Columbus July 4th. Hon. M. J. Wellborn, an honorary member, delivered an oration, and D. Chandler Holt, a member, read the Declaration of Independence.

Allen Lawhon, Intendant of the town of Columbus in 1832 and 1833, was a native of North Carolina. He removed from that State first to one of the eastern counties of Georgia, and thence to Columbus in 1830. He was a lawyer by profession, and was a man of energy and public spirit, making many friends by his intelligent interest in all matters of local improvement. He removed from Columbus to Cherokee Georgia in 1840, and there engaged in prospecting and mining for gold. He died about the year 1858.

John Fontaine, first Mayor of the city of Columbus, was one of its earliest settlers. He was one of its best and most extensive business men--a man of large mercantile and planting interests, also prominently connected with its manufacturing enterprises. He was noted for conscientiousness and uprightness in all his dealings. During the late civil war he was distinguished for his charities and his efforts to keep down the rise of prices that so seriously injured the cause of the Confederacy. He died on the 4th of November, 1866, in the 76th year of his age.

Gen. Daniel McDougald was a native of North Carolina. He removed to Washington County, Ga., when only eighteen years of age, and thence to Western Georgia. Before settling in Columbus he represented Harris County in the Senate of Georgia. He was for many years a Major General of the militia of Georgia. Removing to Columbus, his fine abilities and popular manners made him at once a favorite of the people. He was, as is shown in preceding pages, several times elected to represent Muscogee County in the Legislature, of which body he was one of the shrewdest and most influential members. He was a man of generous and impulsive disposition, of enlarged charity and patriotic public spirit. Few men had warmer or more devoted friends, though he had also some enemies, chiefly because of his activity and zeal as a politician. He was an excellent judge of human character, and seldom made mistakes in his estimates of men. He died on the 8th of September, 1849, in the 51st year of his age.
