LARUKHT CITY CIRCULATION.
Post-Office Investigation.
A special Agent of the l’ost-Oftice Depart
ment has for several days been in this city in
vestigating the causes of the loss of several
valuable letters. Yesterday a young man na
med John Chisholm, who lias occasionally been
engaged in the l’ost-offico of this city as an as
sistant, was arrested on a charge ot abstract
ing letters from the office, and an examination
of the case is fixed for this morning at!)
o’clock.
We are informed by Deputy Marshal Robin
son that we were mistaken in saying that he
had his pocket picked at the circus. It was
another gentleman of that name.
PMr. Singleton, a Representative in the last
pngress from Mississippi, has been nomine
ed and confirmed Consul to Havana.
We notice that Mr. Hilliard, of Alabama,
did not fulfil his appointment to lecture on
slavery in Hoston ; hut we have not learned the
cause of his failure. He was reported to be
very unwell a few weeks ago. We arc not in
formed whether Mr. Toombs still adheres to
his purpose to discuss the question with the
abolitionists.
The Cahaba (Ala.) Gazette runs up the
names of Franklin Pierce for President and Al
exander H. Stephens for Vice President. It
would not surprise us if this ticket should be
irougly supported in the Cincinnati Conven
tion.
Col. Joel Riggs, late Comptroller of the State
of Alabama, has become a joint proprietor of
the Montgomery Mail.
There are already in Russia 0,000 miles of
telegraph wire, all of which aro continually
used for official despatches. She has also tho
longest railroads and canals in the world, and
is progressing faster, with her manufactures,
commerce, and additions to her territory, than
any other nation except tho United States.
Too Hard upon “ Sam.”
Tho Hoard of Directors of the Hank of Ten
nessee—at the head of which is the Hon, Cave
Johuson—have recently passed a resolution
that in the selection of Hoards for tho Hraucb
es of tho Hank, no man should ho appointed to
Hie position of a Director who belonged to the
Know Nothing order.
The Washington Globe announces an ad
vance of two or three cents per acre in land
warrants, but thinks that tho limited supply
in market—caused to somo extent by the in
terruption and delays of tho mails—is tho
cause of tho advance ; and it anticipates a de
■ line as soon as the mails become regular. It
slat os that tho issuo from the Pension Office
now averages about 600 warrants per day.
Congress.
The substitution of Mr. Orr in the place of
Mr. Richardson, as the Democratic candidate
lor Speaker, does not yet appear to have much
improved the chances for an early organiza
tion, if we are to judge by the vote taken on
tlie 24tli inst. Hanks received 96, Orr 08.—
Most of the Southern Know-Nothings still vo
ted for Mr. Fuller, although lie had withdrawn
his name as a candidate.
On tho same day whilo the Clork was call
ing tho roll for the election of Speaker the
Door-keeper announced a message from the
President. Campbell, of Ohio, objected to its
reception. On a sudden an excitement sprung
up all over tho Hall; much turbulence ensued.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, moved that the
message bo received and demanded the previ
ous question which was agreed to.
Tho President’s message was ordered to be
read, it was the same as tho one sent to the
Senate; after reading it was laid on tho table,
‘flic llouso then adjourned.
Later advices from Hayti fully confirm the
defeat of Souloque (dubbed Faustin 1.) by the
Dominicans, lie marched thirty thousand of
his black troops against the Spaniards, but
they Hod in confusion after losing only two or
three hundred killed in the battle. Tho Span
iards captured all their munitions of war, pro
visions, and the sable Emperor's military chest
containing all the funds he had raised for the
prosecution of the war. Souloque himself es
caped (probably being the first to run), and
his place of refuge was unknown, but the Do
minican General had offered a large reward
for bis head, and the probability was that it
would be brought in, as tho Negroes had turn
ed against him. A “ peculiar institution” of
the abolitionists is therefore in great danger, and
it behooves them to render “aid and comfort”
to their black sovereign and his government.
Greeley, Sumner, Giddings, Hanks—are they
not all mighty men of valor ? and why are
they not already in the field ?
The Sight to Naturalise.
At tho present time, when the subject of
naturalization and the rights of foreigners en
gages so much of the attention of politicians,
a decision lately made by the Supreme Court
of California possesses some interest. Tho
case came up on the application made by an
alien directly to the Supromo Court to become
naturalized under tho provisions of the consti
tution and laws of the United States; aud the
opinion was delivered by Judge Iloydonfeldt,
formerly of Russoll county, Ala. It is adverse
to the local enactments of some of the States.
Tho lioll
1. The power to naturalixe is made a judi
cial power by the act ot'Congress.
-• Congress cannot confer any judicial pow
er upon a State Court.
:i. The provision of the Constitution of the
United States, which grants to Congress the
power to establish “An uulform rule of natu
ralization, ‘ is construed to mean—that tho
rule when established shall bo executed by the
States.
C The Legislature of California has, by ex
press enactment, conferred jurisdiction ou the
District i ourts of the* JStateto grant naturali
zation, according to the rules established by
Congress. J
Tho opinion is nn interesting and closely ar
gued one. but we hare not space to devote
to it.
The Action of Last Night’s Council Session
At the meeting of the Council last bight, a ‘
communication from Gen. Semmes was read, ;
announcing that he had reconsidered his reso- ‘
lution not to insist on the dissolution of the
injunction restraining the Council from con
summating the contract for the sale of city
stock in the Muscogee Railroad to Messrs.
Patten and Mustinn, and that he should prose
cute it to the Supreme Court.
Whereupon Aid. Jones offered a resolution
to the effect that the present Council, by its
proceedings in reference to the matter, did not
consider that it was ratifying the contract of
the old Council. This resolution, on motion,
was laid on the table, after a spirited debate.
The Council then reconsidered its action at
the last regular meeting adverse to a ratifica
tion of the contract: and Alderman Slade
thereupon offered a resolution ratifying the or
iginnl contract with Patten and Mustian, which,
for want of a lull Hoard, was laid on the table.
A resolution was passed, on motion of Aid.
Chapman, authorizing the finance committee
to borrow 331,000 or 35,000, for the purpose
of meeting the debt of Patten and Mustian,
and paying an instalment of interest shortly
to fall due, on the bonds of the Mobile and
Girud Rail Road.
Tho Council cas*“l icsolutiou requesting
..... Senator and Representatives to endeavor
to procure such legislation as will enable the
city to sell certain unimproved lots in its north
eastern section.
Spain.
The Madrid Gazette, of December 12th, con
tains a royal degree sanctioning tho bill adop
ted by the Cortes, which declares Spain an in
violable asylum for foreigners, and that the
giving up of political refugees shall never be
consented to in any treaty for the extradition
of criminals.
Treaties between nations for the extradition
of fugitives from justice, except for political
offences, arc now becoming very common.—
Their practical operation has been found of
great benefit both to the nation demanding
and to that delivering up tho criminal—they
vindicate the outraged law and peace of the
one, and protect the other from the addition of
a murderer or knave to its population. And
though most of the nations making these trea
ties have not included political refugees, Spain
is, so far as we arc informed, the first Euro
pean power that has announced the principle
as a settled policy of the government. It is
an honorable ami liberal enactment of her rul
ers, and bespeaks a remnant yet of her former
greatness and spirit.
Still further by the Baltic.
Nkw Youk, Jan. 24.
The lialtic brought advices from Londou ‘to
the morning of the 12th inst.
Advices from Montevideo announce that a
revolution occurred on the 26th of Nov., and
that tho city for four days was the scene of a
bloody conflict—loo having been killed and a
much larger number wounded. Order was
restored on the 29th Nov., when Munoz and
the revolutionary party embarked for Buenos
Ayres in the steamer. Diplomatic agents and
foreigners residing in Montevideowero requir
ed to maintain a strict neutrality.
Advices from St. Petersburg to the 3d inst.,
state that the War Council had declared its de
liberations, and that it had transpired that the
Russian tactics for the approaching campaign
had undergone important modifications, and
that orders had been sent from head quarters
which indicate the intention of abandoning the
Crimea, part of the troops having been order
ed to reinforce Mouravieff, and others to join
tho Grand Army of the Centre.
Advices from Kiel to the Bth inst., state that
tho waters were still open, and that the trade
between the lower Baltic ports and those of I
Russia was carried on with great activity. An
American ship had arrived at Mentel, and was
loading witli hemp yarn.
The London Post has direct advices, which
do not confirm the capture of Herat by tho
Persians.
Tho Outrage on an American Ship at Hong
Kong.
Wo have already published a short account
ot the boarding of the American barque Rein
deer, Capt. Nichols, of New York, at Ilong
Kong, by a mob of English police, white and
blacks, who forcibly took from her one of her
men, who luul been placed in irons for mutin
ous conduct, aud the fact that the captain w as
subsequently fined by the English authorities
s7o, for an alleged assault upon the mutineer
who shipped at Now York as an American,
but who declared he was an English subject on
his arrival at Hong Kong. The outrage on
t upt. N. lias called forth an earnest protest
trom a number of American residents and mas
ters of the American ships at Hong Kong.—|
They speak in high terms of the conduct of I

there, and of Capt. McClung, of the United !

Fire in Waynesboro'.
Waynksbobo’, Ga., Jan. 2b, 1850.
Jas. Garosku, Emj —/tear Sir: The town
of Waynesboro’ presents a novel appearance
to-day. Last night about twelve, our Court
House was discovered to be on tire. It was
burned down, ami the great mass of the Court
papers destroyed. The Sheriff’s office, and
the Ordinary’s were in the lower story of the
( ourt House, and with some exceptions, all
shared the same fate.
I’he firm ot Gray & Buford's store ami ilwel
ling house were destroyed. Also, the law
offices of Berrien \ Jones, Jones & St urges
aud Miller & Maudcll. lam happy to inform
you my own office escaped. The injury done
to these gentlemen by the fire is very great. 1
cauuot as yet say the total loss sustained by
the tiro, but several thousand dollars will have
to be counted. The residence of Mr. Gray,
Postmaster, was insured for fifteen hundred
dollars, but it does not begin to cover the loss
of the building. Every effort was made to
I subdue tho fiery element in its course, bv our
, citizens, who were present. Great credit is
duo Mr. Clarke, who is now here building our
new fire-proof house for the records. Also
to Mr. Broom and Mr. Foster. It was only
with the utmost endeavors that the entire
town was not consumed.
When I write you agaiu, I will give vou the
amount of losses, kc. Yours, &c. J. B. ][

tho Georgia Military Institute, defeated yes
terday, was reconsidered and referred to a
committee to-day.
A bill certifying tho wholeof the statutory pro
visions, and remodelling and changing our laws
on the subject of Attachments and Garnish
ments, was taken up to-day in the Senate, dis
cussed, amended and passed.
In tho afternoon the bill creating anew Cir
cuit from Clinch, Ware, Charlton. Camden,
Glynn, Wayne, and other counties, was taken
up amended, and passed.
The Senate then took up the bill to form
Putaula Circuit out of Randolph, Clay and
other counties ; and after some amendments it*
was passed.
Tim Brunswick Circuit will be composed of
the following counties ; Clinch, Ware, Coffee,
Appling, Wayne, Camden, Glynn and Charl
ton.
The House this morning on motion of Mr.
Crook, reconsidered its action of yesterday or
dering the reference to a special committee
and printing of the treasurer’s report in rela
tion to the per diem and mileage of members,
of the last aud present sessions. The matter
lies over.
The balance of the morning session was con
sumed in the consideration of a bill oft'ered by
Mr. Jones, of Muscogee, providing for legal
izing certain acts of commissioners appointed
to organize the Exchange Hank in Savannah
and allow further time in which to perfect such
organization.
The evening session was devoted to reading
bills of House and Senate, first and second
time.
Mr. Jones of Muscogee, introduced a bill to
compel parties complainants suing out injunc
tions ne exeat and quia timet writs, to give bond
to indemnify defendants for damages arising
from such suits or writs.
Friday, Jan. 25.
House or Representatives. —The House
met at the usual hour to-day and took up the
Hill of Mr. Jones, of Muscogee, relative to the
Exchange Hank of the City of Savannah,
which at the hour of adjournment yesterday,
was under discussion. The same was on mo
tion of the mover thereof, laid on the table for
the present, in order, I presume, to enable in
formation desired to be obtained and presented
to the House previous to final action on the
Hill.
The Bills proposing the establishment of
general systems of education for the .State, be
ing the special order of this day, were seve
rally taken up. That which was offered by
the Special Committee as a substitute for the
bill of Mr. Pickett, was first considered. This
proposes to divide the State into School Dis
tricts ; to appropriate three fourths of the net
proceeds of the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
the present Poor School Fund, and to levy a
tax of twenty-five per cent, on the State tax to
further the objects of education. A motion
was made by Mr. Irvin to lay the same on the
table for the balance of the session. Having
withdrawn the same, it wag renewed by Mr.
Jones, of Muscogee, and prevailed by a con
siderable majority. The bill offered by Mr.
Lewis, of Hancock, was then presented to the
House, but on account of this gentleman’s in
disposition, was postponed until to-morrow,
when it will be treated as the special order.
The proposition to appropriate ten thous
and dollars for the endowment of the “Botani
co Medical College” in the city of Macon, was
taken up and lost by a vote of 56 to 77.
The House tlienadjournedto 3J o’clock, i*. m.
A few unimportant bills were offered this
evening, and the remainder of the time was
occupied in reading Senate and House Bills
the second time.
The United States and Great Britain.
The London Times, in reading the Washing
ton Union a lecture, takes occasion to speak of
the press and government yf this country in
its usual disparaging tone. Hut after indulg
ing Us whim in this subject, it says: It is,
above all things, desirable that the two nations
should remain on terms of peace and amity,
and we can answer for the people of England’
whose opinion the Washington Union admits
we faithfully represent, that they desire noth
ing more earnestly than to cultivate the most
friendly relations with all the world, but es
pecially with the United States.
The quarrel will never come from our side,
but it is quite probable that thoso whom the
American public suffers to misrepresent it W’ith
tho pon and in the Cabinet may succeed in em
broiling the governments of the two nations to
a degree and to an extent which may commit
their honor and render an ainicablo solution
impossible. The very men whom the enligh
tened American citizen avowedly dispises and
repudiates at home, he may feel it impossible
to disavow when they have compromised the
honor of his country abroad.
It is a favorite topic with those American
newspapers which can never mention England
except in terms of insult, to speak of the Eng
lish press and government as if theirill-advised
conduct blighted and repressed the feelings of
good will whieh are ever ready to spring up iu
the American mind towards England.
The Washington Union waxes pathetic when
it tells us how tender is the affection with
which we should have been regarded by the
American press and its admirers, if we could
only behave ourselves meekly, decorously, in
the presence of a fondly attached, but suscep
tible nation. It may be so, but facts would
seem to justify a different conclusion.
Wo have entered into a war, the substantial
justice of winch no European power has ven
tured to deny. From tho American press we
have met with nothing but abuse. Our rever
ses have been exaggerated, our successes de
med, and falsehoods have been put forth on
behalt of Russia in the American papers
which, to do her justice, Russia lias never had
the effrontery to put forward In her own.
We sought, unadvisedly as it has turned out,
to recruit our armies in Canada, but the Ameri
can government, while conniving at tlie foun
dation by her citizens of piratical States in
Central America, aud hesitating whether to
receive theirjAmbassadors at its levees has
refused to be contented with our explanations
and pushed its demands of satisfaction for so
trivial a matter to a point which the British
government has flatly refused to concede

Russian Official Report of the Surrender
of Kars.
The Invalide ltusse publishes General Mau
ravieff’s detailed report of the surrender of
Kars, as follows:
“After the assault upon Kars, on Sept. 29,
the Turks took courage for a time, expecting
our troops to retreat. They were much aston
ished, therefore, when they saw, on the con
trary, the blockade maintained witli greater
strictness than before, and our camp becoming
transformed into a fixed and organized estab
lishment, surrounding them on all sides, and
daily receiving stores of every description.
“Nevertheless, the hopes of the besieged
once more revived when some troops of suc
cor approached from Erzeroum. Indeed, Vely
I’aclia, chief of the Erzeroum detachment, and
afterwards Selim Racha, coming from Trebi
zond, did attempt to march upon Kars, but
their rear was always menaced by Gen. Son
sohoff’s detachment. Our patrole also nnnoy
od these troops, even in the very neighborhood
of Erzeroum.
“ All the time the supply of food was be
coming exhausted at Kars; the weather was
growing cold; snow had fallen upon the heights
at Sagaulong; hunger provoked mortality
amongst the garrison ; the desertions increas
ed in number, and dejection became general.
“ All these circumstances determined Gen.
Williams, who directed the defence, to sur
render the fortress. On Nov. 24th, the Aid-de-
Canip of Gen. Williams, Maj. Teasdale, pre
sented himself before Aid-de-Camp Gen. Mou
ravieff, bringing a letter, in which Gen. Wil
liams requested authority to come the follow
ing day into our camp under a flag of truce, in
order to consult upon an arrangement. Aid
dc-Camp Gen. Mouravieff charged Maj. Teas
dale with a verbal message to General Wil
liams, to the effect that he was ready to re
ceive him in the afternoon of the next day,
Nov. 25.
“At the appointed hour, on the 25th,
Gen. Williams presented himself to the Com
mander-in-Chief of the detached corps of the
Caucasus—as the plenipotentiary of the Mu
shir Vassif Pacha, Commander-in-Chief of the
Army of Anatolia. Tho conditions of the sur
render having been drawn up, were signed by
Gen. Williams, and approved by Aid-de-Camp
Gen. Mouravieff. General Williams was to
return to our camp the next morning with the
Mushir’s final reply, but his presence in the
fortress being necessary to put affairsin order,
and to bring the news of surrender to the
knowledge of the garrison, the decision meet
ing witli a passionate resistance from, some of
the officers, lie sent his. aid-de-camp to inform
us how the affair stood.
“ The evening of the same day, however,
Maj. Teasdale presented himself, with full
powers in writing given by the Mushir to Geu.
Williams, to settle definitely the conditions of
capitulation, and also with a list of the Pas
chas of the army of Anatolia then in Kars.
“In the afternoon of Nov. 27, Gen. Wil
liams accompanied by his staff and three Pas
chas, entered our camp and signed the final
conditions of capitulation.
‘‘According to the treaty, the residue of the
army of Anatolia, which comprised the gari'i
son of Kars, were to leave the fortress on the
28th, with their arms, their flags flying, and
with the drum beating; but, upon the prayer
of the Turkish commanders themselves, all the
troops left their arms and ammunition in their
camps, under the guard of some Ottoman sol
diers, who were then relieved by ours.
“ Although it had been arranged that the
Turks should form in columns near the ruins
of the village Goumhes at 10 o’clock in the
morning, it was not until two o’clock in the
afternoon that the Mushir of the army of Ana
tolia, accompanied by Gen. Williams and some
English officers, presented themselves before
Aid-de-Camp Gen. Mouravieff. Our troops
had previously been arranged in order of bat
tle upon the two banks of the river Karstchi.
The flags of the Turkish regiment were then
brought to the front of our lines, and were re
ceived by a company of carabiniers of the re
giment of Toula Chasseurs, amidst the sound
of music, and hurrahs caught up from battal
ion to battalion.
“ The portion of tlic Turkish army, consist
ing for the most of old and feeble men, of
diers relieved from an indefinite time, (the
ltcdifs,) also some militia (Bashi-Bazouks and
Lages,) forming altogether a total of 0,000
men, were, according to the terms of the trea
ty, sent to their homes under escorts for the
first half-day’s march, upon the condition that
they should no more carry arms against his
Majesty the Emperor, during the war.
“ After the departure ofthe Redifs, the Coin
mander-in-Cliief received a deputation from
the chief inhabitants of the city of Kars.
“ After the inspection of the Turkish regu
lar troops (about 7,000 or 8,000 men) who be
came prisoners ol war, Gen. Mauravieff gave
orders for the distribution amongst them of
provisions which had been prepared for them
in the cuisines of the companies encamped up
on the left bank of the Karstchai. On the
same day the fortress was garrisoned by our
troops, under the command of Col. DeSage,
and the Russian flag was unfurled upon the
citadel.”
A letter in Lc Nord, from St. l’etersburgh
says: °
“I* > s thought that Gen. Williams will be
brought to Bt. Petersburgh. His position at
Kars was far from being an agreeable one.
He found himself between two parties, both
wishing his death—the one because he was
willing to give up the fortress, the other be
cause he did not give it before. During the
three days of negotiation, his only place of
safety was the Russian camp ; lie did not dare
even to return to the fortress for the night, but
slept in a house situated at the extremity of
the suburbs outside the walls.”
