COLUMBUS: Holiday MornliiK, January ‘4N, LARGEST CITY < IKCUL ATIO-V. • We understand that two persons were arres ted In this city yesterday, on suspicion of be ing connected with the robberie of ‘I hursdny night. “A Citizen.” We publish the communication over this sig nature this morning. Believing its general scope was fully met and answered by our edi torial of Saturday, we will only notice briefly one or two of its points. It will be seen that our correspondent con founds the agreement as to the security given to Patton and Mustian for the re-payment of the $‘,5*1,000 in case the injunction should be such an “impediment” ns to prevent the city consummating its part of the contract, with the contract itself. If the sale of the entire 1800 shares (so expressed verbatim) could not be consummated by the Council, then the 1000 shares were to be transferred to P. and M. to socure them the rc-paymcnt of the loan ; but if the Council (the new one) could carry out the original oontruct, then the $26,000 was to be taken as the first payment, and no interest should ho charged on it. This will be clear to any one who will examine the instruments pro duced. The contract, and resolution ‘reaffirmed by tho new Council may truly “by its very lan guage have treated tile contract of the previous Council an not consummated but it bound the body to consummate it if in its power. Hence, too, the propriety of the transfer of the 1000 shares as security—simply to meet the contingency of the Council’s inability to com ply with its part of the bargain. The proposition that thlscontrnct resembled the ease of one Legislature passing amend ments to the constitution and having no power to bind its successor to concur, is altogether erroneous; there is no nrmlogy whatever be tween the two cases, because in the one no contract would exist, and no one would have rights violated by a non-compliance ; while in the other, there is a party reposing on the good faith of the city, having rights involved, and legally ns well as morally entitled to have them respected. If the late municipal election turnod on the question of affirmance of tho contrswt of the old Council, we arc entirely ignorant of the fact. We supposed that Mayor Wilkins was nominated and elected as the candidate of a national party, and that party politics had much more to do, also, with the election of the Aldermen than any local question. .. -♦ . .. A Waste of Ammunition. Someimportinentandwould-bc-thoughtsumrt scribbler in tho Enquirer of Saturday, takes us to task for our inquiries in relation to tho advertisement of the city authorities proposing to sell the stock of the Muscogee ltail Hoad. In his verdancy, or in a reckless attempt to im pose on tho public credulity (not knowing the author, we cannot say which of these influ ences constitutes the animus of his article), ho lays bofore tho public a copy of an instrument relating to and providiug for tho security of tho $26,000 advanced by Patten and Mustian, in the event that tho injunction or other “imped iment” prevented the consummation of tho contract previously agreed upon: and this he parades as the real and only contract made by the now Council with those gentlemen. Now, Wo have already published the conditions of tho contract previous!;/ made by the new Coun cil with Patton and Mustian, which expressly and literally includes eighteen hundred shares, or tho whole interest of tho city, of this stock, and by which the city bound itself to take such loan in part payment for the 1800 shares, pro vided the injunction was dissolved and no im pediment restrained it from consummating the contract. If the transfer of tho 1000 shares had not been made (as evidenced and condi tioned by tho agreement published by this writer), what security would l’atten and Mus tian have held, other than the note Y and why should not they, as well as Smith and Patrick, have a pledge or conditional transfer of stock to soenro their loan? Hut this transaction is too clear to need further explanation. The authorship of the queries in our paper is a question which concerns us, and not tho writer lu the Enquirer or tho public—the facts statedarefortheconsiderationof the hitter. If, however, any one feels aggrieved by the course of our paper, he will huvo no difficulty in fluff ing nn author for its editorials, by proper ap plication. Wo suspect the Enquirer’s correspondent to be one who is disanppointed in tho hope of driving a hard bargain with tho city, but a pro fitable ono for himself, in the transfer of its stock, and who would really regret but little its losses or sacrifices, provided he could be a gaiuev thereby. Out Os its Latitude! Tho lloustou Telegraph of the 18th iust. an nounces that the Brazos river, at Waco, was frozen over so hard that wagons and teams could pass ovor on the ice. Think of that, in latitude 32 ! Can’t some ingenious Yankee in vent a “masheeu” forcoutiniug the cold weath er “to hum” and thus protecting the ice crop ? Massachusetts will suffer else, as the South has commenced growing this winter crop for herself. Removal of tho Florida Indians. The Tallahassoe Floridian announces that the Oonoral Government has resolved to adopt stringent and adequate means for the prompt removal of tho Indians from Southern Florida, and that the Governor of Florida has tendered to Col. Monroe five oompanies of volunteers for this purpose. l’rof. Gcdcon requests us to call attention to his card eoucorning tho attempts made by other persons to palm off inferior Glasses as the genuine “Scotsch Pebbles.” The Profes sor will visit Columbus in person, in a short time, when even those who are nearly blind will no doubt be enabled to see for themselves the superiority of his Glasses. We were decidedly impressed with the great usefulness of the work, on examining a copy of “ Lippincott’s Gazetteer ot the World.” It is an exceedingly voluminous and comprehen sive work of over 2100 pages, giving the cor rect pronunciation of 100,000 proper names of all t lie languages of civilized nations— their derivations —descriptions of the places named, Ac. We found it remarkably correct with re ference to the several places to which wc turn ed. It lias also general rules for the pronun ciation of the names of the different languages, which arc very useful and instructive, and make the work a complete one of its kind. It will be found a valuable addition to any libra ry, however well supplied with encyclopedias, dictionaries, &c. To tlic of tin* Sunr In your editorial column of Thursday last, under the head of “Tho City’s Muscogee Rail Hoad Stock —Again,” 1 find an article which has been construed by some into a reflection upon the present Mayor and Council of our city. Now, 1 think you have inadvertantly, and from a misapprehension of the facts, done in justice to our “City Fathers.” Youspoak of the Council having “unanimously re-aftirmed” t), *’ contract and resolution acccptiug the proposal of Messrs. Fatten and Mustian for the loan of $26,000,”. and seem to consider that re-affirmation as equivolent to a sale of the City Railroad stock to Messrs. Patten and Mustian. Avery slight examination of the “published proceedings” of Council will satis fy you that you have misapprehended the facts of the case. That “contract and resolution” was for the borrowing of money ($20,0(10) from Mes srs. Patten and Mustian, and pledged “as security for the payment thereof, a transfer of the stock now held by Smith A Patrick in pledge for the payment of the draft of the city, discounted by them for $31,000.” The”“con tract and resolution” then, refers to the con tract for the sale of the City’s Hail Road stock partially made by the preceding Council to Messrs. Patton and Mustian, and which was at that time “enjoined” ; and provides that if said contract “should be set aside, the city must pay us (Patten and Mustian) interest on said sum of money : but if the said injunction should be dissolved, and no impediment should exist to the consummation of the contract, then upon the transfer of the stock to us, (Patten and Mustian) under said contract, prior to the Ist day of February next, the $20,000 shall be considered as a payment made by us in pursuance of said contract, Ac.” Here wo have the sum and substance of the “con tract and resolution” spokeu of by you as hav ing been “unanimously re-affirmed,” and by its very language it treats the contract of tho previous Council as not consummated. Thus you will perceive, Mr. Editor, that your arti cle is calculated, unintentionally, onyour part, to mislead the public mind, and subject the present Mayor and Council to unjust criticism. 1 have every confidence in the present Mayor and Council, and believe they will honestly do what they believe for the best interests of city, and at the same time will not act in “vio lation of good faith” towards Messrs. Patten and Mustian or any one else. The contract for the sale of the city Rail Road stock was pussed by one meeting of the Mayor and Council of last year, in a very hur ried mannoi*. just before tho terms of their of fices expired. Before the next regular meet ing of Council the parties wore enjoined, and that Council went out of existence before said injunction was dissolved. 1 believe it is admit ted by all that a contract of that character and magnitude cannot, under the law, be made by our Mayor and Council, except by being pass ed at two regular consecutive meetings, and published between those meetings in someone of the city papers. This has not been done by the last or present Council. If these be, and I believe they are, substan tially the facts, then there has been no sale of the stock to Messrs. Patten and Mustian, and the present Mayor and Council have the per fect right to take such steps for tho sale of said stock as in their judgments may be for the best interests of the city and as may be warranted by the law. Hut it has been urged, 1 am told, by some, that the present Mayor and Council are moral ly bound to carry out the contract which was not consummated by their predecessors, and this moral suasion argument is urged mainly by persons who are supposed to be retained counsel of the parties. If this supposition be true, then it is surely a very proper channel through which the Mayor and Council should he instructed ns to the moral obligation resting on them in this matter. It might as well be ar gued that because our Legislature should pass an act altering the Constitution of the State, the next Legislature is morally bound to re-pass it and thereby make it a part of the Constitution. The two cases are exactly analogous; and what would be thought of a legislator who should act under such a snppescd moral obli gation ? The Council of last year were not elected with reference to the sale of all this stock, — The present Mayor and Council w ere elected while the public mind of the city was under high excitement on the subject, and a large majority of our people, as evidenced by that election, are opposed to a consummation of tlmt sale. If, then, there is no legal nor mor al obligation to make this sale, and if the stock can command “ $90,” the present Mayor and Council will subserve the true ends for which they were elected by obtaining that price instead of a fraction over SB3, which is the price, 1 believe, offered by Messrs. Patten and Mustiau. A CITIZEN. It is now stated that the reports of the re cent disturbance at Easton, Kansas Territory, wore much exaggerated, and that really no one was killed, and very little damage done in the broil. A Dr. Parker, who has a plantation on the 1 San Jacinto river, Texas, reports through the ! papers that he kills a hear every day, and that recently he obtained 130 pounds of leaf fat from oue of them. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Monday, Jau 21. lu the Senate. Mr. Allred,of Pickens. moved to reconsider the bill providing for annual ses sions of the General Assembly, passed Satur day. The motion failed, nnys ‘>3—ayes 31. Judge Cone’s bill, entitled “An act limiting the time in which suits in the Courts of Law in this State must be brought, and also tiie time in which indictments are to be found Ac., was taken up. Nearly all day was spent upon the bill, and after various amendments it was passed. It is a very lengthy bill, prescribes ! the limit in all imaginable cases, and being strictly a legal one, more interesting to the Bar than the public. The Georgia Military institute bill, which was so amended as to provide for a State ap propriation of $5,000 annually, wa- taken up, and debated until the adjournment. The House of Representatives first look up the bill confering on the city authorities ol Atlanta.the power to prohibit, restrict and reg ulate the retail traffic in that city : and after being amended so as to require a vote of the citizens, it was passed by ayes 85, nay 45. The next business was the consideration of the bill giving State aid to the Ellijay Railroad Company, who have projected a road to run from some point on the State Hoad, between Marietta and Calhoun, via. Ellijay, to the Cop per Mines in Gilmer county. After much de flate, the bill was laid over until to-morrow. The following new bills were introduced : By Mr. Montgomery, of Newnan —To give lumber men, lumber merchants, sawyers, stone cutters, brick-makers, and all other persons, furnishing materials for the erection or repair of buildings, the same lien now enjoyed by masons and carpenters. By Mr. Smith, of Union —To provide fertile payment of I’apt. Samuel Patterson’s Company of “Union Mounted Yolvnteers,” for services rendered in 1838, in the Cherokee country.— The sum named is SIO,OOO or so much thereof as may be necessary ; the pay to be the same as is allowed U. S. mounted men. The term of service was fifty-three days. By Mr. Lawton, of Chatham—To cede to the United States jurisdiction over certain ter ritories in the city of Savannah. The territo ry is flic site for a Light House, which the United States intends to construct in Savan nah. 15y Mr. Owen, of Talbot—To facilitate the collection of open accounts by changing the rule requiring the production in Court of the original book of entry. The bill gives efficien cy to a transcript from the books, duly attested before any legal officer, authorized to adminis ter an oath. By Mr. Wood, of Fannin —To incorporate the “Cherokee Baptist Georgia Convention.” By Mr. Butts, of Baldwin —To fix Coroner’s fees for burying paupers, (includiuggrave-dig ging, coffin and grave clothes), at S2O, instead of the sum heretofore allowed. By Mr. Jones, of Muscogee—To authorize the Mayor of Columbus to issue new bonds for the city stock in the Columbus Gas Light Com pany, with interest payable semi-annually, to supersede the bonds issued in 1853. Also, a Bill to repeal all laws now of force in this State, which directly or indirectly pro hibit the introduction of slaves into the State. Bill Passed. — A bill to refund to the Bank of the State of Georgia, $3,319.08, wrongful ly paid into tho Treasury, as taxes on Bank stock owned by the State. Tuesday, Jan. 22. The Senate was again engaged for a consid erable time on the Georgia Military Institute bill, which was not finally disposed of. The following bills Were introduced : By Judge Cone, of Greene—A bill providing for the election of Delegates to meet in Mil lcdgeville on the first Monday in May next, by the people of the State, who are to meet in in Milledgevillc in Convention on the 3d Wed nesday in June next, “to revise and amend the present Constitution, or form and make a new Constitution.” Each county to be enti tled to as many Delegates as it is to Represen tatives in the General Assembly,. The consti tution adopted by it to be submitted to a vote of the people on the first Monday in October next. Also, a bill giving the legal Representatives of Tax Collectors the power to collect from de faulting tax payers any unpaid tax for which they may have accounted into the county or State Treasury, and who have incurred losses on tho bonds, to the exclusion of any otherde mand. By Mr. Camden, of Cherokee—A bill requi ring Tax Receivers and Collectors, to visit the houses of widows in their counties to receivo a list of taxable property and collect taxes; and to compel the county Treasurers of the State, to make a report to the Grand Juries of their eouties, on the first day of every term of the Superior Court. By Mr. Gibson, of Pike—A bill dispensing with the necessity of proving the proper exe cution of written contracts, in suits ou such contracts, against incorporations, joint stock companies, or other associations, when the same are produced in evidence ; unless the de tendent has denied the fact on oath at the first term after the action was instituted. By Mr. Beaseley, of Troup—A bill providing for the election, by the General Assembly, of four Commissioners, two from each of the po litical parties, who are to constitute a Board of Directors for the management of the Wes tern and Atlantic Railroad. By Mr. Hill, of Harris—A bill to incorpo rate the Hamilton Hank, in Hamilton, Haris county, Georgia. By Mr. Long, ol Glynn—A bill to incorpo rate a Bank in the city of Brunswick, to be called the “Brunswick Bank.” By Mr. Ihmnagan, of Hall—A bill to allow heirs at law, of lawful age, upon the payment of the decedent’s debts, “to settle estates among themselves.” In the House, the Elijay Railroad bill was the source of a lengthy debate between Messrs. Pickett, of Gilmer, Wood, of Fannin, Philips, of Habersham, and Crook, of Chattooga, in fa vor of, and Messrs. Smith, of Union, Ward, of Butts, Jones, of Muscogee, and Haynie of Floyd, in opposition to the bill. Mr. Sherman moved to include the Thomaston and Barncs villo Road. Tlie call for the previous question cut off this amendment. Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, offered a subslituto to create a Board of Commissioners, making the Governor ex officio President of tho Board, appointing certain gentlemen named in his substitute its members, anti submitting to their determination the settlement of the “Slate Aid question.” That is, it is provided that they should recommend to the next Legislature the passage of such Railroad bills as they might deem proper. The substitute was ruled out of order. The bill was lost. But little else was done in the House. The discussion of this bill consumed most of the morning. In the atternoou, more than a dozen local and private bills were introduced and read the first time. Wednesday. Jan. 23. ! House of Hki kesk.ntavives.—Mr. Haynie moved to reconsider so much of the journals ot yesterday as relate to the rejection of the bill to be entitled an act to lend the aid of the State to the Ellijay Railroad Company. There i wa: no discussion of an important nature on this proposition, the vote upon which was yeas •1-1, nays 75. The report of the Treasure!’ presenting the amount paid to members of the last General Assembly and the present up to the date ot the same, was laid before the House. Haynie of fered a resolution referring tho same to a se lect committee. Mr. Jones cf Muscogee, pro posed to amend by requiring one hundred and sixty copies to be printed lor the use of the House. This report was made in obedience to a call for it by the House, and it was suppos ed that the mover of the call suspected that some members had drawn more money than they w'ere entitled to. Ilencc an animated and warm discussion sprang up. Mr. Ilaynie’s resolution, with Mr. Jones’ amendment, was adopted; Mr. Lawton presented this morning, highly complimentary resolutions relative to the Hon. •J. M. Berrien, which after a short eulogy of Mr. Thornton, upon this great statesman lost to our country, forever, wore unanimously agreed to. An effort was made to pass a rule requiring the House to meet at 7 i\ m., and adjourn at 9, after Monday next. The yeas and nays were being recorded when tho Speaker declared tho House adjourned until 1 o’clock to-morrow. ADDITIONAL BY THE BALTIC. Liverpool Cotton (Market.

Expectation in Europe was on the tiptoe to learn tlie issue of the peace propositions, as the term for receiving tlie decision of Russia had been extended to the 18tli inst. Never theless, it was reported iu Berlin and Vienna that advices had already been received in those cities, to the effect that tlie Czar would make no further concessions. On the other hand, it was stated that formal conferences were iu ses sion at St. Petersburg discussing thoproposals, and that they were attended by Nesselrode, Esterhazy, Seebach and Sommer. The Inde pendence Beige publishes the text of the pro positions of the Allies, and the general impres sion is that Russia will neither accept or re ject them, but send Count Stakelberg to Vien na with counter proposals. The latest rumors, however, were more favorable to the prospects of peace. Denmark has announced her neu trality, and stated that slio has no connection with the Swedish alliance. There is nothing new from the Crimea. Omar Pacha was at Redoubt Kale, shut up by the weather and the Russians. Louis Napoleon again threatens to go per sonally to the seat of war. Richard Cobden has published anew peace pamphlet. ■ Congressional. Washington, Jau. 23. The Democratic caucus, Mr. Richardson having unconditionally withdrawn, have unan imously nominated Mr. Orr, of South Caroli na, as Speaker, on the principles enunciated at their first caucus. The American Party have, also, held a caucus, at which they re solved that they were ready and willing to withdraw Mr. Fuller, but stated that they in sisted on an organization being effected on na tional grounds. The prospects of a speedy elec tion arc brightening. The Black Republicans likewise hold a caucus to-night. Washington, Jan. 24. In the United States Senate to-day Lord John Russell’s letter, of the sth of January, in which Great Britain denied the intention of as suming any sovereignty over Central America, was presented by Mr. Clayton, who character ized tlie tortuous policy of the British Minister as monstrous and disgraceful. Mr. Cass was too unwell to speak. Mr. Mason said that England would be held to the strict perform ance of her treaty obligations. Mr. Seward thought that there should be no unnecessary delay in settling the controversy. The further discussion of the subject was then postponed until Monday next. We are gratified to perceive that tho steam ship State of Georgia, is advertised to leave Philadelphia on the 20th inst., for this port, and with tho Key Stone State, will form a weekly line for the South and South West, one of the ships leaving Philadelphia every Satur day at 10 o’clock in the morning, alternately, for Savannah and this port. Tho passage on each ship, will be S2O in the Cabin, and $8 in tlie Steerage. —Charleston Courier. For five years past a geological survey of Illinois has been going on under the auspices of tho State Geologist, Dr. Norwood. The annual appropriation to this object at first was $3,000, but two years ago it was raised to $5,000, in consequence of the number of the corps employed and the expensive character of the work. By this increased appropriation the survey has gone on four times as far as be fore, so that the result of the last two years will show an incresaed expenditure to have been a measure of economy. During the past year, Dr. Norwood and his assistants have ex amined twenty counties, paying special atten tion to tho northern coal fields. The develop ments of this survey have now acquired unu sual importance in all parts of Illinois, in con sequence of the rapid multiplication of rail ways running through every section. Wher ever mineral wealth is found, enterprising persons will now be ready to work the mines and convey the product to market. Woman’s tongue and woman’s curiosity are not uufrcquently the occasion of mishaps. Vide the following from a Cincinnati exchange: A small girl was yesterday induced by seeing other girls try the experiment, to put her tongue against a lamp post, on Sixth street be tween John and Smith. It was some fifteen minutes before she was released from her un enviable situation, although hot water and al cohol were brought into requisition. At last relief was afforded by a gentleman who was passing, by placing his band over the tongue of the child and blowing his breath thereon. The tongue was very much swollen, and the girl has not spoken since yesterday. Gas and Gas Meters. A singular fact lias just been brought to light in London, in regard to gas meters. A careful examination of the gas works iu London has established this fact, that “ the lower the quality of gas. the greater the velocity with which it flows through tho meter; that is, the quantity registered is increased in proportion as the quality is deteriorated.” When the American army moved through Mexico one of its first institutions was the es tablishment of a newspaper office, which fol lowed the camp and gave the intelligence of the day. Recent advices from the Crimea an nounce that the foundation had been laid for an army jockey club, with a permanent fund for aces wherever the troops may lie encamped.
