LARURNT CITY CIUCI’LATIOSr. _
We are informed that we were misled by n
mistake made in tlio Enquirer, in our notice
of the communication published in that paper,
as to the date of the obligation ot tho Council
to transfer 1000 shares of Muacogoc Railroad
stock to l’atten and Mustian. It was dated
the 17th ult., and not the 20th as copied by us.
The City’s Financial Difficulty.
Wo gave in our paper of yesterday morning
a brief and hurried report of tho proceedings
of the Council on the previous evening, rela
tive to that seemingly-interminable subject of
perplexity and embarrassment, the sale of the
City’s Muscogee Railroad Stock. Wc appre
hend that the matter is left in as unsatisfacto
ry a mutt as at any previous stage of its tor
tuous course. Gen. Semmcs stated that he
would take the ease to tho Supremo Court to
save tho city from expense, ns it was evident
that it had to be carried thcro by ono party or
the other; and he thought that a decision
could be obtained during the term to com
mence next woek at Macon. We understood
Mr. Mustian to nay that uniter the construction
put upon tho contract by the Mayor, ho con
sidered the note for $2(1,000 to bo worthless,
unless it was to be liquidated by a transfer of
the whole stock according to his understand
ing of tho contract; and that he should seek a
reimbursement, not by a suit on the note, but
by insisting on the full performance of the en
tire contract.
It will be seen that without a prompt and
final decision of the question, the city is likely
to bo further embarrassed and straitened in
meeting obligations maturing this year; and
there is reason, we think, to apprehend that
tho decision may not be final. Does Gen.
Hemmos propose only to prosecute an appeal
from the overruling of his injunction of tho
contract of the former Council? or does he
seek a mandamus to restrain the consumma
tion of the contract at its present stage, invol
ving tho action of both Boards? If tho former
is his intended course, wo presume that the
decision of tho Supreme Court will not be final,
as Messrs, l’atten and Mustian may bring suit
on tho instruments executed to them by tho
present Council ; and as this is hardly a case
over which the .Supremo Court has original
jurisdiction, a long and expensive suit may
arise.
Wo trust that a satisfactory solution of this
vexed question—one advantageous and honor*
able to the city—may yet be obtained, and wo
shall look with interest to the result of the
re-considered vote on the proceedings of tho
Council of last week, as another important
item of the bungling transaction.
The Post Office Case.
John Chisolm, tho young man mentioned by
us yesterday as having boon arrested on a
charge of abstracting lottors and money from
the Post Office of this city, had an examination
yesterday before Justices MeKendreo and
Quin, which closed late last evening. They de
ferred giving their decision till this morning.
Affairs in Nicaragua.
The accounts by tho Daniel Webster scorn
to establish the durability of Walker’s govern
ment, and to place it beyond the probability of
overthrow by any parties now known to he
hostile. Reinforcements had been constantly
reaching him, until his army now numbers 850
men from tho United States, and the natives
are represented to be decidedly in his favor
and greatly attaehod to him. He abolished
the old Mexican laws, and established an
American code in their stead, which gives great
satisfaction. Everything is at present quiot.
Kinney, too, is represented to be highly
pleased with the prospects of his peaceful en
terprise, and very popular with nil of Ills colo
ny. He is receivingaceessions by overy steam
er, and the farming operations of himself nnd
his countrymen arc said to he prosecutod with
much industry and with every promise of
abundant sueccss.
Can any man doubt that the natives of the

Tall Jumping.
A Mr. J. L. Brazier offers, through the Lou
isville Times, to bet from $5,000 to $.'10,000
that ho can stand Hat-footed on the ground nnd
leap over a brick wall fifteen feet high and
four feat thick! lie also proposes to bet that
he can jump five feet further on a dead level
than any man in Kentucky—three feet further
than any man in the United States—one foot
further than any nmn in the world. That fel
low has no use for wings.
The Tennessee Penitentiary at present con

During the cold term of last week, the ther
mometer was at times down to 2d degrees be
low zero at Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St.

telligencer, is frozen from head to mouth, the
ice being at that point nine inches thick. The
Mississippi is also closed.
Wolves in lowa.
The papers give frightful accounts ot the
ravages of the wolves in lowa. The extreme
cold weather seems, as usual, to have greatly
emboldened these half-famished creatures, and
they have made dreadful slaughter ot the stock
of the farmers. But the most deplorable of
their ravages is the destruction of human life
several persons having been attacked and
devoured by them. A man in l’attawattamie
county was returning from a prayer-meeting
with his two daughters, all three on one horse,
when they were overtaken by a pack of wolves,
the eldest daughter dragged from the horse,
and devoured ! Only ouc shoe and a few rem
nants of her clothing were found at tho spot
the next day by the neighbors. The father
and other daughter made good their flight
while the wolves were engaged in their horri
ble repast. A boy who left his father’s house
to get water from a spring was also attacked
and devoured —the water-pail, some marks of
blood, and a lock or two of hair only being
found at the spring to indicate his fate.

More Indian Outrages in Florida.
In the Key West correspondence of the
Charleston Courier, under date of Jan. 25th,
wc find the following intelligence from the
Southern part of Florida:
Wo have disastrous news from the neighbor
hood of Fort Dallas, (Miami River). The In
dians have bee* hovering about the settlement
for some weeks, and on the 7th a large party
attacked some settlers living on the border of
the Indian hunting grounds, 12 miles West of
the fort, and killed l’etor Johnson and Edward
Farrall. The others escaped, but returned
the next day, accompanied by a detachment of
United States troops under command of Capt.
Hill. They were unable to follow the trail of
the Indians farther than the Everglades, where
they had embarked in their canoes and escap
ed into the interior. The bodies of the mur
dered men were found scalped. Their huts
were ransacked and every thing of value car
ried away. All the settlers around the Miami
have conic into the fort and demanded the pro
tection of the troops. The women ami chil
dren have been brought to this city.
How an Alabama Congressman got
Complimented by the Ladies.
The Washington correspondent of the •New
Orleans Dee is responsible for the following
“ incident” that occurred, lie affirms, a few
days since in the House of Representatives at
Washington. He says:
A laughablo incident occurred in the House
a few days ago. Mr. Shorter, of Alabama,
rose when his name was called to vote, and in
a very patriotic, independent strain declared
that lie neither wore the white nor the red rose,
and looked only for his guidance to the true
interests of the country. That he voted for
nearly four weeks for Mr. Richardson : but he
now thought it time to try some other candi
date.
At this point Mr. Elliott, of Kcntuuky, roso
and said if the gentleman from Alabama now
deserted the Democratic candidate, he would
never call him Democrat again.
Whereupon, Mr. S. said that if it were
against the wishes of his party that lie should
vote for any other person than Mr. Richard
son, he would continuo to vote for Mr. R., and
sat down amid roars of laughter, calling out
tho name of Richardson.
In a doggerel address from the ladies in the
galleries to the members of tiic House, remon
strating against the rude, not to say disgrace
ful, practice of smoking in the hall, which
some members have been guilty of this session,
written by some wag, the incident above men
tioned is thus alluded to:

Russia a Check on England.
In the “correspondence of Ileury Clay,” re
cently published, is a letter from James Madi
son to Mr. Clay, under the date of October 30,
IKIS, which shows that before there was any
apprehension of an Anglo-French “ offensive
and defensive alliance,” it was the opinion of
some of our leading statesman that a good un
derstanding should he cultivated with the
Czar, as a check upon England. Mr. Madison
says :
“Since tho overthrow of Franco, Russia has
acquired the highest degree of political impor
tance in relation to the States. Asa great
power, friendly to a liberal system of neutral
rights, and with whose dominions our com
merce had become considerable, she held, be
fore that event, a distinguished rank, but by it
her weight in the general scale has been much
augmented. Russia forms, in effect, at this
time, the principal check on the overgrown
power of England, on which account, and
many others, it is immensely the interest of
these States to cultivate a good understanding
with her sovereign.

Tlie following appointments have been made
by the President, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senato :
“O. Jcnings Wise, of Virginia, to be sec
retary of the legation of tiic United States at
Paris, in place of Don Piatt, resigned.
Edward G. W. ltutler, Jr., of Louisiana,
to be secretary of the legation of the United
States at Berlin, in place of (). Jennings Wise,
transferred to Paris.
“John N. Garesche, of Delaware, to be con

“George V. Brown, of New York, to be con

in place of Samuel P. Collins, deeensed.”
A Mexican Liner.
Col. George Gayle, of Dallas, than whom a
better-hearted fellow never breathed, was the
cause of great merriment, in the recent Mac
M hig Convention of this State. He provided
by resolution, (which the Convention did not
pass,) for the “dissolution of the Union, with
in twelve months from date.” That was one
of his freaks !
Aleck Clitherall, (our “incendiary friend ”)
bethought him, that something must be done
to quiet George ; and so he introduced a reso
lution, substantially as follows :
“ Resolved, That Col. George W. Gayle, of
Dallas, is hereby declared to be a Liner between
the United States and.Mexico, witli all the privi- j
leges of Mexican citizenship, until the dissoiu- !
turn of the American Union.”
B e can t say’ whether this resolve was pass
ed. or not. “God nnd Liberty.”’— Mont. .Mail.
The Presiiient on Kansas.
Wasiijnuton, Jan. 25.
A message was also received to-day in the
Senate from the President, on the Kansas
affairs, and urgently recommending the adop
tion of such measures as the exigency of the
case seemed to require.
The matters pertaining to Kansas, would be
attended by some serious difficulties and em
barrassment. partly local mal-administration,
partly from the unjustifiable interference from
inhabitants of some of the States, with views
foreign to the interests of the rights of'the ter
ritory.
The Governor of Kansas, instead of using
constant vigilance in the exercise of his duties,
had allowed liis attention to be divided and de
viated from his official obligations by other
subjects, he himself setting the example in vio
lation of law and duty. This conduct had im
pelled the President to remove the Governor.
The communication also alluded to the mis
directed zeal of Propagandists in emigration,
and the clashing of slavery and anti-slavery
interests, as a cause of much mischief, and it
emphatically condemned the efforts to antici
pate or force the determination of that ques
tion in this inchoate State. Finally, the legis
lative Assembly was for all practical purposes
the lawful body, and the message condemned
the formation of tho free State constitution.—
Such a movement was revolutionary in char
acter, but if it reached a point of organized
resistance to the United States Constitution
and authorities, it will become a treasonable
insurrection, and lienee it falls to the duty of
the General Government to suppress it.
The message concludes by saying, that if
the inhabitants of Kansas should desire a
State Constitution, and that they be in suffi
cient numbers, the proper course will be for
a convention to recommend the enactment of a
law to that effect.
It also recommended special appropriations
to be made to defray any expenses that may
become requisite in the execution of the laws
and for the maintenance of public order in the
above Territory.
The message was referred to the Committee
on Judiciary, and the Senate adjourned till
Monday next,
A Tribute of Respect to the Hon. J. M.
Berrien.
Mr 3000X1: Superior Cos out, )
December Term, 1855. j
At the opening of the Court, at its present
Term, Col. Seaborn Jones in appropriate terms
announced the recent decease of the Honora
ble John M’Phersou Berrien, and moved the
Court for the appointment of a Committee to
prepare and report a suitable Preamble and
Resolutions in relation to the character and
memory of the deceased. Whereupon the
Court appointed a Committee, consisting of
Col. Seaborn Jones, Col. Hines Holt, and Judge
G. E. Thomas. The Committee on a subse
quent day of said Court, made, by Judge Thom
as, the following report, which was adopted,
ordered to be entered on the minutes of the
Court, and a copy transmitted to the family of
the deceased, as requested by the Committee.:
1 The Committee to whom was referred the
duty of preparing and reporting a suitable
Preamble and Resolutions relative to the de
cease of the Hon. John M’Pkevson Berrien,
1 respectfully report, that—
Another, and another, and then another of
Georgia’s distinguished and honored citizens,
have, within a short interval of each other,
been cut down by death’s relentless hand. A
Charlton, a Colquitt, and a Berrien, have trod
close one upon the other, in their exit to the
spirit world. The State and the country, the
city and the hamlet, friend and acquaintance,
have all heard the startling knell as it rung
along the coasts and up the valleys and was
echoed back again from tlic mountain tops—
‘■Tho mighty arc fallen!
The godly man ceascth.”
Who that has ever seen tho graceful form of
John M. Berrien; who, that has ever listened
to his chaste and commanding eloquence, can
refuse him the tribute of his admiration, or
refrain from participating in the general grief
for his death ? He was a striking example of
what study and system can achieve; of what
a life of application and labor can accomplish.
Me, his brethren, who have so often seen
and heard him, and felt the subduing power of
his oratory, delight to honor one who exalted
his profession by learning and adorned it by
his talents ; who won, by liis courtesy, no less
than by his attainments, the esteem and good
opinion of all who knew him. The Parlor had
not a more perfect gentleman-—flic Court a
brighter star —the Senate a more brilliant sun.
Having filled up the measure of his useful
ness and fame, when the summons came {which
must come to all) lie died in the possession cf
his faculties; in the bosom of his family; in
the midst of his friends; in the city of his
adoption, in the State for whose welfare and
honor he had spent the energies of his youth
and the vigor of his manhood; full of faith and
full of hope, discoursing wisely on the future
state. Such a man is a blessing to the world ;
such a life is without reproach; such a death
without fear! Therefore—
-Ist. Resolved, That we, the members of the
Bar of the Chattahoochee Circuit, desirous of
commingling our sympathies with those of his
niore immediate friends, do cherish, in com
mon with them and the whole community, the
memory and the fame of our most worthy and
truly distinguished brother, John McPherson
Berrien, and that we regard his death, not less
a loss to his family, the legal profession and
the State, than to the whole country.
2d, Resolved, That wc sincerely condole with
his deeply afflicted, bereaved family, in this
severe dispensation.
3d. Resolved, That these Resolutions be en
tered on the Minutes of this Court, a copy of
the same be made out and forwarded by the
l lprk to the family of the deceased; and a
copy furnished to each of the public gazettes
in the city ofColumbus for publication.

Our Foreign Relations.
Greeley, writing to tho Tribune in reference
to our foreign relations, says that within a few
years several of the foreign ministers have
rendered their tribute to the worth and at
tractions ot American women by the highest
evidence of their appreciation of both. Mr.
Bodisco married Miss Williams, of George

Bcuneless, formerly Secretary of the Spanish
Legation, married the sister of Madame Sarti

now Mr. Stoekl is added to tlie catalogue.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Saturday, Jan. 20.
The following bills were taken up and pass
ed by the Senate:
To organize the Court of Common l’leas of the
city of Augusta, and to authorize n Recorder's
Court.
To authorize subscriptions to stock in railroad
companies by tho city of Augusta.
To authorize the crossing of the River by
the Savannah Valley Rond at “Bull’s Sluice, ’
its extension to, and a connection of Railroads
at Augusta, &c.
To establish and organize a Court in the city
of Columbus.
To change the time of holding the Superior
Court of the county of Mcr iwether.
To authorize Justices of the Inferior Courts
of this State, to exercise Criminal Jurisdiction.
lx thk House. —The bill, to provide for the
sale of free persons of color, anil the substi
tute for the same, which provides for the re
moval of free persons of color from this State,
was on motion of Mr. Jones, of Muscogee,
laid on the table for the balance of the session.
Also, the bill to endow the “Atlanta Medical
and Savannah Medical Colleges,” was lost by
yeas 40, nays 70.
The correspondent of the Macon Telegraph
writes, under this date:
“ The past week has been employed by both
branches, in discussion of leading bills’of gen
eral importance. Many important bills are
yet to be disposed of, most of which are en
titled to mature consideration, and as the ac
cumulated mass of business before the present
Legislature up to the present time, exceeds
that of the last session—l would not be sur
prised if the session was prolonged to an unu
sual length or another Recess suggested. The
weather here is extremely unpleasant,—slip
ping and sliding, sleeting, freezing and sneez
ing, are in abundance and to spare.”
What Russia Gains by the Capitulation of
Kars.
The advantages gained by Russia in obtain
ing possession of Kars will in a great measure
compensate her for the loss of the Crimea.—
Russia, so long as she holds tills commanding
position, can control the great highway of
trade which finds its way overland from Tre
bizond to Persia, and the countries of Central
Asia beyond. Russia was just beginning se
riously to suffer from the embargo on her
commerce and the exhaustion of her war sup
plies. But the capture of Kars enables her to
divert the current of European commerce
through Turkey to Central Asia, to channels
across her own territories; and thus, the pres
sure on her own trade being neutralized, Rus
sia can recuperate for the war. And it is
more than likely that, Persia being commer
cially dependent upon Russia, and disposed
to lean in the same direction, may be induced
by that power to declare against Turkey for
the purpose of extending its dominions.— Balt.

Important to Postmasters.
Our attention has been called to the fact
that some postmasters are in the habit of send
ing back to the mailing office letters reaching
them for delivery, because they were not pre
paid by stamps, but by money. This is wrong,
and arises from a misapprehension of the law.
In no case, indeed, should a letter, after it
has reached the office of delivery, be returned
for postage, much less should it be returned
because the postage was not paid by stamps.
It is the general duty of postmasters to see
that letters are prepaid by stamps, but when
(having been prepaid in cash, either through
ignorance of the law, or inadvertence, or want
of stamps on the part of the mailing postmas
ter) they reach their destination, it is the duty
of the postmaster to deliver them the same as
though prepaid by stamps. It will necessarily
happen, in the introduction of the stamp pre
payment system, that supplies of stamps will
fail to reach some of the small and remote offi
ces at the proper time, and it would be doing
violence to the citizens of those localities to
return and thus delay their correspondence,
because of a circumstance so unavoidable.—
Entertaining this view of the subject, the De
partment has instructed postmasters, not hav
ing stamps, to forward letters as heretofore
when prepaid by money. If an unpaid letter,
from any cause, gets into the mail, and reaches
its destination, it should be delivered cm pay
ment of postage at prepaid rate.
A good anecdote is told of one of the Chip
pewa Indians now at the North. He was ask
ed why Indians did not copy the dress of our
people, lie replied: “Me thinks we started
your fashions, your men now wear blankets as
we do, and your women paint their faces and
wear feathers!”
GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
quit! JURY have had under consideration (he slate of
A the business of the Superior Court of this (Muscogee)
county, and also the best method for its disposition :
They find on tiic Dockets a very large and unusual
number of cases, and, from the best information they can
obtain, of tedious and heavy litigation. It is not the pur
pose of tlie Jury to refer or allude to the causes which led
to this state of tilings. Suffice it'to sav they exist, and
in the opinion of the Jury, to an extent that requires a
prompt and efficient remedy. It lias .arrived to a point
which threatens, if it does not amount to, a denial of jus
tice. That something ought to he done to relieve the
Court and the country from the consequences of this
State of tilings, all must admit. Rut the question is. what
is tho proper remedy ? Adjourned Courts are impractica
ble: inasmuch as tho sessions of tlie Supreme and Infe
rior Courts and tlie commencement of the Circuit follow
the session of tlie Superior Court and each other in such
quick succession that there is no time to hold an a (Mourn
ed Court. And if held after tile close of tlie Courts in tlie
uthor counties of tlie circuit, it must he just before tlie re
gular Term, and there will not be time to execute the
judments of tlie regular Term, or the processes returna
ble to the succeeding Term. Tho Jury believe that more
time should be allowed for tlie session's of the Court., and
that in view of tlie labor necessary to dispose of the im
menso mass of business ponding before this Court, that
tlie labors of the Judge of the Chatahoochec Circuit should
lie full-tailed by taking from his Circuit some three or
four counties, and adding tlie same to anew or some oth
er Circuit, as suggested in a proposition now pending be
fore tlie Legislature in session. With a view to be reliev
ed of this existing evil and to ensure tlie speedy and
prompt administration of Justice, (an object so desirable
in every well regulated eoinmuuity:) the Jury would
suggest to and earnestly request tlie Senator and Repre
sentatives in tho Legislature from this county, if possible,
to have the Chattahoochee Circuit reduced, in tlie man
ner before suggested, so that tlie Judge may devote the
time heretofore allotted to those counties to the business
of tills Court. Alsu, to repeal the ac t passed at the last
session, changing tlie time of the sessions of this Court,
and to fix the period for its sessions so as to allow the
greatest possible time for the transaction of the heavy
amount of business before it. And we further recom
mend that our Senator and Itspresentatires use their best
efforts to have all laws repealed exempting tlie members
of the Fire and Military companies of Columbus, from Ju
rv duties. We desire the Clerk to furnish our Senator
and Representatives with a copy of this part of our Pre
sentments. forthwith, and that this Presentment he pule
lished in tlie city papers. Unanimously adopted hy tlie

embracing all tlie branches—both solid and ornamental
taught in Female Seminaries of the country.
Location, Ac.
Rose Hill Seminary is pleasantly situated near Talliot
ton, sufficiently removed from all inlluencos that might
interfere w ith the quiet and uninterrupted proseciitimi
of its studies and pursuits. Its grounds are extensive
embracing 30 acres—tastefully arranged for amusement
and exercise, and presenting all the attractions of shaded
walks, and gardens of choice flowers and shrubbery. Its
buildings are sufficiently ample to meet the present want,
of the school. It is easy of access, being only seven niik
from Geneva, on tlie Muscogee Rail Road, between which
place and Talbottou there is a daily stage.
For Circular, for further particulars, address tlie l’rin
