Georgetown Gas Light Company, by RirmiED T. MBEBICE, Esq., aoting as eounsel, for Mr. W. D. HUGHES, proprietor of the Georgetown Daily Time?.

A letter in the Savannah Neves, from an agent of tiic Havana Telegraph Lino, who is now in 8outh Florida, says that part of th? country is destined before many years to teom with tho richest West India products-tobacco and sugar of the finest qualities, and tropical fruits of ovory description. Wo learn from the Montgomery Mail that "Bishop WTLMEB, of Alabama, has boen invited to ?fiiciate in tho ?tato of Georgia until tho election ot a Bishop to fill tho vacancy ocoasioned by the d?ath of Bishop ELLIOTT. Bishop WILMEB will not, of course, exercise ecclesiastical jurisdiction, bu will simply perform tho rites of confirmation, ordination, eta." The average value of th? 11,220 Baptist Churches in the United States in 1860 was $1700; of tho 19 883 Methodist Churches, $2000: of tho 50G1 Presbyterian Churohea, S500C; of tho 233-1 Conju? ga tiona!

The Edgefield Advertiser, of a late date, says th: t th? present commandant of the post of Au? gusta, Geo., is General SWEENEY, who was tho lea 1er of last summer's ill-starred Fenian oxpedi ticQ into Canad0.. He is a member of the United Stetes regular army; his regiment is tho 15th Reg tdt.r Infantry; it is now, if we mistake not, in Sa? vannah. His rank is Major. His biovel rank is Colonel. Ho has dropped the Fenians, and no longer wears tho green. He is a handsome, dash? ing fellow; lost an arm in Mexico. The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutinnalisl of the 18th inf t. advocates the formation of a Land Company, for the purpose of furnishing means to the plant? ers of Georgia, and foi' inducing laborers and farm orb from Europe to remove to central Georgia. It fer rs that, in consequence of the largo migration el blacks from that portion of the State, that much of it will become a temporary wilderness, unless seme effective means are immediately used to draw a large amount of white labor in that di? rection. Scientifically, tho oyster is a lamel-libranchiato mollusk. Each oyster can produce 1,200,000 eggs. Each young oyster is the one hundred and twen? tieth of an inch in length, and about two raillions may be packed within the dimensions of a cubic inch. About one-half of aU the young oysters aro eaten up by the old fish. Oysters attain their m-ij?riiy in two: years.- The oyster trade of Now York alone is estimated at over 15,000,000 annually. Two^famikes of Carter County, Tennessee} named BOBEBTS and JOHNSTONE,'have been waging ? bloody war between each other for twenty years, - dering which time fourteen men belonging to these tr J families have lost their Uves. On the evening ot the 5th inst, the vendetta came to a bloody en 1 in tho streets of Eiizabothtown, Tenn., by tho Bole surviving males of the ROBEBTS and JOHN? STONES. They engaged in a personal altercation, wt ich resulted fatally to both. This don: os tic war originated about a trifling affair. Th? Erie Railway Company has recently been swindled out of between thirty and forty thousand dollars. EDWABD H. WEILEN, who had been em? ployed to make up the nilla of the workmen in tho repair shop near Bergen Hill, was in tho habit of putting a number of fictitious names on each pay-roll, obtaining the certification, and putting tho mqnoy in his own pocket. On Wednesday last an examination of the matter was to be made, but A? fled. The sum lost may be greater or less than is now supposed.

Immense volumes of smoko rolled heaven? ward, and in their midst innumerable tongues of flam? constantly leaped forth as "thc devouring element" swept across the plain, driving all living thing? before the fiery tempest. The scene was grand in the extreme as seen from many of the nigher buildings of the city. The market for tobaoco has been Tery much de? pressed ever since the suspension of sales just prior to Christmas. There are many reasons which have produced this result. In* the first place, the stoppage of the factories has lessened tho demand for consomption in manufacturing, and then tho extrem? stringency in the monov market has checked ?peculation. To these causea may be added the uncertainty attending tho action of Congress in relation to th? tax; all parties seem to be standing still, waiting for some indication as to the course tho market will take, and in tho meantime the farmer has to go without tho money ?Which he hoped to realize from the salo of his crop er ?eli at a sacrifice.

SATURDAY: MORNING, JANUARY 19,1867. HISTORIC DOUBTS. "The truths of history are hes-every ono of them." This appears to bo tho sum and sub? stance of all modern historical teaching. Faith is natural to tho child, and according to this Behool of philosophy, the one groat task in life, the object of all loaming, in"<truction and knowlcdgo, is to behove nothing,-to doubt everything. In many cases thia sublimo degree of distrust is not attain? ed beforo old agc, and still oftener men leave this world in happy iguoranco of tho exacting require? ments of unbelief. Some of this latter class ihero may bo, so ignorant of their own ignorance, that they may even question the utility of a lifo spent ^endeavoring to show that "nobody don't know nothing." Doubting philosophers there havo always bo2n, and always will bo; to doubt is ono of the idioayn craciea of human character, which, if not combat tod, must end in unmooring tho very anchors of be liof. But it is not our object M speak of this class of doubters. Wo havo no quarrel at this time, either with the material philosopher or tho infidel, in a religious scuso. We refer to the class of acholara whose pride it is to unsettle popular con? viction in historic truth. Tho younger NIEBUHR. in modern times, may bo considored the father ol' this nefarious brood. GIBBON, it is true, by au artful collocation of facts, succeeded in throwing doubt upon the truths of Christianity, without ap? pearing to do so designedly. Others, by specious argumcr ' ;, have, at various times, endeavored to niako history corroborate some previously con? ceived theory in politics, philosophy, or religion. Few, indeed, can bo entirely absolved from such partiality. But it is otherwise with a historian like NIEBUHR, who, of set purpose, goes to work to sap the foun? dations of history. A very Furitan in hia hatred of Popery, ho seemed to carry this same animosity to every other antiquated Roman superstition. Eo was thc first to show that ROMULUS and REMUS were not suckled by a she-wolf; that Rome waa not built by these said founders, nor at the time usu? ally auppoaod ; that thc Rapo of the Sabines is a myth ; that EGERIA waa no nymph at all ; that the combats botween tho Horath and Curatii wero "auld wives' tales ;" that TARQUINTUS, in tho lan? guage of SYDNEY SMITH, was a very good family man ; that tho title of the modern Auserines to ancient nobility was npurious, geese never having saved the capitol-in fact it is now ascertained tba tho geese did not cackle at all. Tho Caudino Forks aroa mere legend.- HANNIBAL ?B not yet entirely put aside, wo bcUevo, but it is now. cer? tainly ascertained that he did not blast the Alps with vinegar. Modern historians, with the aid of a competent corps of analytical chemists, have demonstrated that tho work could not have been accomplished with acetic acid, and, in fact, that HANNIBAL was not in possession of any euch chemical compound. Tho "jewels" of CORNELIA havo turned out mero paste. CICERO, they sa}", was a coward and a coxcomb ; novor delivered hie orations against CATALTNE ; that the latter gentle? man was a very respectable citizen, and no con? spirator ; that SALLUST, tho teacher of virtue, was a great rascal, and CESAR nevor ?aid ** Teni, vidi, uta;" that Livy waa a perfect M?NCHHAUSEN ; that HORACE was a scamp, aid Ovm, it is now ascer? tained, was a very good but ill-used young man ; that NERO baa been much slandered, and old BELISAEIUS was not blind at all. When we como down to CHARLEMAGNE, WO find matters still worse, tho several ancient and me? dieval historians haring scarcely loft ?Ja shrod of him. It ia now gravely contended by many that there novor was any such man as CAROLUS MAGNUS. FREDERIC BARBAROSSA, tho great German Em? peror, has been provon a figment of tho fancy; and this, too, while it is well known that the old gen? tleman is sleeping in his tower in tho Kyithaussen mountain in Thuringia, where ho is patiently wait? ing for tho unification of tho fatherland. Hore ho has long been sleeping, his chin resting on his hands, and his elbows on a marble table, and his long beard grown through tho Btono. Every hundred years ho awakes, and sends out a raven to see if Germany is united. Whenovcr the raven shall como back with an affirmative roply BARBA? ROSSA will como forth, and again bc a father to tho Gorman people. Yet, tho skeptic of history, with his superior wisdom, comes and tells the good pcoplo, your good Emperor, with the red beard, is a humbug. Wo aro asked to believe that ALFRED novor burned the bannocks, nor ovor entorod the Danish camp in minstrel's guiso ; that the "Fair Rosa? mond" is a myth ; that Prince Hal was a milksop and Falstaff tho jolly Knight, tho basclosa fabric of a vision ; that burly Harry "VTLT. waa a very propor Bort of husband, and Queen Anne Boleyn no better than she should bo. Nay worse than all, Miss Bacon, a down-east young lady, gravely tolls ns that it was not SHAKSEEARE who wrote Shak speako, but that Lord BACON wroto Shakspcarc ; and very lately a Missouri Judge, profound in his? torical rosoarck, comes forward in a book of dig? nified dimensions and firat rato argument, endors? ing Miss Bacons theory. We are told that CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS never made that egg stand on end, nor was the first who discovered America; that LE SAGE did not writo Gil Blas, but stole the manuscript from a Spanish monk, and translated it into French; that Sir WAL? TER RALEIGH did not throw bia cloak into the gut? ter; that ELIZABETH waa not entitled to her virgin epitaph, and that MARY, Queen of Scots, was a model of chastity; that tho first JAMES of England was a von- wiso monarch, and that OLIVER CROM? WELL was a scoundrel and a hypocrite; that tho Emporor CHARLES V. was a very ordinary man, and WALLENSTEIN a moro advonturcr; thatRoBEsrmimE was a very pious aud tender-hearted gentleman; that Marshal NEY was not tho last of tho Grand Army, and had never said that ho waB; that NAPO? LEON was a very bad man in his private character; that WILLIAM HE. was a very pleasant gentleman, md vory popular with his subjects; that the Pre? tenders wero not those heroes of romance wo have ilways boen led to believe, aud that proud CUM? BERLAND was not always prancing, insulting tho 3lain; and that it is all a mistako about King GEORGE ILL and the apple dumplings. LEONIDAS, they say, -had thrco hundred and 3ighteen mon with him at Thermopylae, instead af threo hundred, aa ia tho current belief ; though ?ome go further, and maintain that thero is no truth whatever in tho whole story of tho battle at ihis Pass. They barely concedo that there ia auch i place as Thermopylae. So with Marathon ;hough thoy cannot deny thc existence of tho lat. :or, for Lord BYRON, a disinterested witneas, re narka that the field of Marathon waa offered him ii tho;:;.vory reasonable price of four thousand wunda sterling. Archbishop WHATELEY wrote an ingenious pam )hlet, proving with all tho forco of logic that thero lever existed such aa individual as NAPOLEON BO? NAPARTE. Ho did this 1-y using the same chan of irguments, relied on by deists and others for dia coving -the historic verity of tho cxiatenco of CHRIST; and in thu8 calling into question thc cx stencc of the greatest man then living, or bul rc leutly deceased, ho brought an analogical reductio id absurdum to boar upon their argument. Hero, in America, we havo not hitherto Buffered auch from those doubting attacks. Ono reason, [oubtle88, is that our history is but of yesterday, nd legendary lore has scarcely had sufficient limo o become indissolubly blonded with the sober factB if history. Moreover, tho entire historical epoch ?f America has been subsequent to tho invention ?f printing, nnd tradition has not been much dc >cndcd on for records. But even hero the doubt og THOMAS has laid bia hand. Tho goodness, vealth and grandeur of MOKTEZUMAS have been xplodcd. Tho beautiful taloa of thc poor Indians, nd their blissful existence under tho gloomv can py of thc virgin forest, arc all gone. Wo arc tow only treated to the naked Ravage; and "In? dians not taxed" in public billa and acts, ia now ho only mention wo have of the aborigine favo diere we road of a great massacre in t he West , nd a general Indian hunt, in consequence, bv tho rnited Statea troops. We have heard tho JUayfloiocr, Plymouth Rock, ad tho Charter Oak all doubted; but we indignant ly reject euch historical undermining. Tho beau? tiful story of PLORA MCDONALD, a Scotch lady, who saved tho Chevalier's lifo, and ended her dava in North Carolina, ia now enveloped in a highland mist. But, worse than all-greatest of horcsies tho Ynnkcos, having conquered tho South, aro now begiuniug to mate war upon her past history; and, bv way of commonccmont. thoy -naturally attack tho very cornor-stoiio of Yu-ginia -no less than tho existence of POCAHONTAS. Captain SMITH, tho greatest of all tho John Smiths, they say was not a reliable gentleman, and invented tho whole story of POWHATAN and POCAHONTAS. A Mr. CHARLES DEANE, J? Massachusetts antiquary, in a recent articlo in tho North American Review, is guilty of this sacrilegious profanity. Of courso, the entire press of the North at onco takes up the .ry, determined to rob tho Old Dominion of tho very first of her F. P. Y.'s. Wo know, when we first saw this announcomeut, that Mr. DEANE would "catch it" from our Virginia friends. Tho Richmond Whiff, of thc 15th, in speaking of tho subject, says : Puch is Now England's envy and jealousy to? wards the South and all that is Southern, that she caunot bear to cou tompiate anything that stamps lustre upon our history or adds to our influenco and prosperity. It would rob us, if it could, of all tho glories of* tho past, Btrip us of present influ? enco and respectability, and degrado us into a more Territorial dependency upon the-Govern? ment. These same writers will soon probably turn their attention to George Washington, and if they shall not be able to establish that no such mau ever existed they will probably u?dortako to prove that ho was of Yankoe birth and lineage. This is a very mild robuko, and by no means, wo take it, tho last word that will bo said on this SEb joct. "We havo, of courso, nothing to say on so puroly Virginian a theme Our Mends along the James are abundantly ablo to tako caro of them? selves, and of Pocahontas too. We will now conclude our long cataloguo of doubts by saying that we doubt nothing. We be? lieve in tho she-wolf, King ALFRED'S pancakes and the beautiful POCAHONTAS; and we are certain that childrou learned move of Greek and Boman his? tory in HEBODOTUS, lira, ROLLIN and GOLDSMITH, than they bavojearacd, or ever will learn, in Nu B?HB and ARNOLD, THTRLWALL and GROTE. Tho old facts, or what were so considered, having boen unsettled, what remains thero now to toach the inquiring young mind? What kind of mental training can you expect, when you tell a child that the whole world is mistaken in observing Christ? mas on the 25th of December; that CHRIST vras not born on that day, etc., and that it is ministering to superstition either to burn firc-crackors or cat mince-pie on that day ? Is it, not better to let tho child lesn. on certainties? Doubt and childhood, as wc have said, aro incompatibles. Let him be lievo these thiugs implicitly, and well for him if, in after lifo, ho is permitted to retain thc faith of his childhood. Doubt and error will assort their sway soon enough; but it is best, when they do come, that tho youth should bo clad in the panoply of faith, and thus not necessitate an instant un? questioning surrender of tho citadel.
