The Savannah Georgian reports a firm organized as Mexican Ocean and Mail Inland Company proposing a new shorter route to San Francisco via Vera Cruz Puebla Coacualco and the Mesacala river to meet Pacific steamers. It notes the city jail contained 13 prisoners on Saturday, with only 3 for debt, and records the death of David Almand aged 93, former Fredericksburg mayor, after fifteen years at the alms-house.

Mistaken and Bewildered Fanaticism in Temperance Debate

Secret Ballot Reform Sought After South Boston Scandal

A South Boston petition to the legislature seeks changes to the secret ballot law after evidence before a committee shows the law was "shamefully violated" in the last state election. Whigs allegedly controlled ballot envelopes in several wards, with Democrats and Freesoilers precluded from distribution unless allowed.
