Kriday Morning. Kclrnui-y l* * &•><).
liAKUKKT CITY CIRCUIiATIOS.
Wo failed to receive any later Legislative
intelligence yesterday.
♦
More of the Poat-offlce Bobbery.
We learn that the following development*
wore made yesterday, which appear to he con
nected with the abstraction of letters from the
Poet-office of this city: Mr. Chisolm, the
father of the young man charged with the
theft, states that on tiie 20th of December last,
while his family were at breakfast, one of his
negro women brought in a piece of newspaper
Piled with notes of the Dank of Charleston,
which Me, C. found, on examination, to amount
to $8,095. The woman stated that she had
picked it up in the horse-lot of the premises.
Mr. C. made a special deposit of this money
in Dank, mentioning the circumstance to only
two persons, and awaited some further de
velopment of the matter. Now It appears that
on the 18th of December, Mr. Murdock, agent
<>t the Dank of Charleston, had placed $5,000
in tho hills of that Dank in the Post-offioc
here, in several different packages, to be mail
ed west, and it has been ascertained that none
of those packages reached their address. The
inference is irresistible that the money thus
found is a part of the money placed by Mr. M.
in the I’ost-office.
We learn that, young Chisolm has succeeded
“i finding bail in the amount required.—sß,ooo.

Whose Fault is it P—Stir Him up!
We have received the following letter from a
subscriber, complaining of irregularity and
delay in the arrival of our paper. We punc
tually send our paper to the post-office tiie
night previous to its date, and before the clos
ing of the mails.. Knowing that tho fault was
not ours, wo called at the post-office and were
assured that tho Sun is mailed the night of its
delivery for theEufaula and Fort-Gaines route.
As the mail has to be assorted at Eufaula, and
nowhere else on the route, we are compelled
to conclude that the delay is occasioned at that
point, and we ask for an explanation of the
matter. Is the fault in the schedule, in the
failure to connect, or in tho Post-office in Eu
faula ‘!
Foot <iaixks, (la., Jan. 29, 1850.
Thou. J)c Wolf, Esq.,
Dear Sir: Wo have a daily mail from Co
lumbus to this place. I subscribed to your
paper, to get the latest daily news, but 1 never
get your paper until it is two days old,
or tho second day after it is published; and
sometimes, it is three or four days old before
it roaches here. If you could mail it tho
morning it is published, before flic mail for
Eufanla anil this placo is mado up, it would
unable your subscribers below Columbus to
get (lie news one day sooner, which is somo
-1 lines very important to cotton buyers. I like
your paper very much, if I could get it sooner.
We nre in a dark corner of Georgia-, and need
t he “ Sun”-shine to dispel tho darkness.
Yours truly,
’ JAMES Melt All.
The Mails.
We are bound to believe that disappointment
is the lot of all men—especially if they are so
“groon” as to put faith in tho promise of regu
lar mails. Those who live “off tho road” are
the most fortunate, for they get disappointed
only once or twice a week ; but wo who are
doomed to settle on the great thoroughfare, in
tiie hope of receiving daily mails, are indeed
compelled to live a life of sorrows and disap
pointments. Ancient Tantalus, we suspect,
was only a prophetic character, ami typified
an editor of our times going to his post-office
box two or three times a day and finding that
the mail had wholly or partially failed. We
know that the old heathen’s disappointment
could not be more bitter or excruciating.
Doth yesterday and tiie day before, our
budget of exchanges was scanty—hailing from
no further east than Augusta and Savannah ;
and we have consequently to get out this paper
with only partial access to the news of the
day. ■
Alabama.
The differences between the Executive and
tho Legislature of this State have become so
common as to resemble tho disputes between
the lloyal Governors and the people’s legisla
tive assemblies, in our colonial history, just
preceding the revolution. The chief time of
the Legislature is now taken up with tho re
consideration ot bills vetoed by the Governor,
and nearly all of them are re-passed by large
majorities. It is duo to his Excellency to
state, that his motive for votoiug most of these
bills is that the Legislature has provided a
mode for accomplishing their object through
the courts, and therefore they should not be
brought up to the General Assembly at the ex
pense of the State. There are, however, a
number of vetoed bills of another character,
including all those extending State aid to in
ternal improvements; and we believe that the
Legislature has re-passed, or will re-pass, eve
ry bill of this character. Those already re
passed are the bills extending the loan of SIOO,-
*•00 to the Mobile ai: Ohio Railroad, provid
ing for a loan of $300,000 to the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad, and $200,000 to the Ala
bama and Tennessee Rivers Railroad.
Tho bills to modify the usury laws, and to
provide for calling a State Conventien to amend
the constitution, have not yet been passed, but
!>oth appear to bo received with much favor.
The bill authorizing the city of Montgomery to
impose a license tax of $5,000 on retailers of
spirituous liquors, lias been indefinitely post
poned by the Senate. The bill to charter tho
Commercial Dank, to bo located at Selma, has
passed both Houses, but may bo vetoed by the
Governor.
Runaway Slaves and their Arrest.
Cincinnati, Jan. 28. —There was a stam
pede of slaves from the border counties of
Kentucky last night. An attempt was made
to arrost them in this city. The slaves fired
upon their pursuers, and wounded several
passing citizens. Afonialo slave cut tho throat
of one of her children, killing it instantly.—
Several of the slaves were desperately wounded
in the melee. Six were arrested and eight
escaped, but with a certainty of their being |
arrested and carried back to Kentucky.
“ Old Mother England.”
This venerable and decaying laih never for
gets her children. As long us she’ can she
keeps them strictly in her care and service
| (always increasing the number as fast as pos
: sible), and even after they have attained suffi
i cient size and discretion to throw off her au
thority aud take care of themselves, she mani
fests her continued concern by solicitous uied- i
dling witli their affairs and maternal lectures
on all important questions. One of these lec
i turcs has just been delivered to her daughter,
the United States, through the London Times,
in an article of which wc copied the milder
portion a few days since. The substance of
this very emphatic scold is, that the said undu
tiful daughter lias required an apology from
her mother for some unlawful and insulting
trespass, and the old lady don’t want to apolo
gifio—itluit she is acquiring an influence on the
Isthmus and an easy communication with her
western possessions, which is dangerpus to the
old lady's commerce and detrimental to the
“ balance”, she seeks to adjust and maintain
—and that she has ungratefully called in ques
tion the justice of the old lady’s quarrel with
a foreigner and “ barbarian” who has long
deserved chastisement and a “taking down.”
The Times asserts that the quarrel will nev
er come from England, but that the United
Statos may force her into hostilities. The im
pudence of this assertion, when even that men
dacious print has not ventured to point out a
single specific instance in which our country
lias interfered with any rights of G reat Britain,
would be surprising if it came from any other
source. The Times speaks throughout in
generalities, and neglects to cite the first ag
gression which tho United States lias been
guilty of, or the first just cause of complaint
which England can adduce. In every case we
are protesting against Aw course of lawlessness
and piracy, of dishonesty and base subter
fuge; and we sustain the charges by distinct
specifications, and by proofs from the mouths
and the pens of her own statesmen. Even if
her contract with us to abnndonCentral Ameri
ca could, by its language, admit of doubt, her
leading minister at the time of its ratification
has left on record his admission of the correct
ness of our construction. Yet, if the United
.States resort to hostilities to enforce its ob
servance, she proclaims in advance that we
will begin the war! While vaguely charging
us with filibustering against other nations in
matters which do not concern her, she admits
that she has been filibustering in the United
States, but “flatly refused” the reparation
required! Another contingency in which the
cause of quarrel will be with us! And this is
but a repetition of tho course she has ever
pursued towards all nations.
That the present construction put by Great
Britain upon the (JTayton-Bulwer Treaty is,
as Senator Clayton contends, an afterthought
springing from her desire to check our com
merce, and to despoil it in the event of war,
by securing a naval station and maintaining a
force on the thoroughfare between our Atlantic
and Pacific States, is clear beyond a doubt.
She has in this way restricted the commerce
and thrown herself across the trade-route of
every European nation. Dy the strong for
tress of Gibraltar sho commands the entrance
to tho Mediterranean, and by tho control of
this outlet and her supremacy over St. George’s
channel she closes down upon all Europe naval
across to the Atlantic. To secure more effec
tually her supremacy in the Mediterranean
she lias acquired the strong and commanding
station of Malta, aud organized the govern
ment of the lonian Isles, of which she is the
protector. Her feloniously-acquired interests
on the Chinese Sea and the Indian Ocean fur
nish the excuse for keeping up there a naval
force always superior to that of other nations.
On this side of the Atlantic she holds Halifax
the Dormuda stations, .Jamaica, Ac., aud now
contends, in disregard of treaty stipulations,
for a naval and military foothold in the Day
Islands and the Mosquito territory—points
from which she can always overlook, and in
the event of war intercept, our commerce ami
communication with California and other
States on the Pacific. And if we mildly pro
test against this proceeding, the London Times
notifies the world that the United States is
seeking a war with England !
As to our national sympathy for Russia,
that is a natural result of a similarity of posi
tion. It needs no argument to prove that
Great Britain has gone to war with Russia to
check her growing power, her advancing com
merce, and her extending territory. All these
are sources of apprehension to a commercial
pirate , who thrives only by levying exactions
and interposing obstacles to the trade of rival
nations, and so obstructing their free commu
nication that they cannot compete with a pow
er that Ims dotted tho world with naval sta
tions, seized every Important pass, and keeps
up fleets of commanding force in every sea.
Tho cause of Russia ami that of the United
States nre kindred and perhaps mutually de
pendent. It’ one is to be overthrown because
she is advancing too rapidly in arts, in strength,
and in territory, so must the other be. But
when the internal resources and wants of an
energetic people impel them to open the way
before them for their onward march, commu
nities of the stand still class can no more arrest
their course than a feeble barrier of art could
dam up the mighty Mississippi. Aud if in
deed no other enlightened nation but the Uni
ted States sympathizes with Russia, the reason
is obvious. Every other has been overawed
by the threats and “pressure” of the Allies,
or bought with their gold. From the com
mencement of the war to the present time,
they have been alternately persuading and
bullying Austria, Prussia, Denmark and Swe
den: Sardinia has been openly bought up by
Great Britain, aud the report is that Spain and I
Sweden have also struck a bargain of the same
nature with the Alliance. “Diplomacy” of
this sort has cost them millions; and where
tho press is under the control of the govern
incuts, and they have bought or intimated the
governments, it would bo strange indeed if an
“opinion” could not be manufactured to suit
tho occasion.
But perhaps “tho end is not yet” of their
light with the unruly “barbarian” of the north!
Net in the Almanac.
Accounts from Galveston up to Sunday last,
telegraphed to New Orleans,’ state that tiie
thermometer had indicated a temperature one
degree below zero on the upper Brazos river,
Texas, and that cold was so intense that cattle
were dying from its effects! If it extended to
the prairie regions, where wood is so scarce,
we apprehend that tiie inhabitants west have
suffered severely. Dy the way, that is au in
viting locality for our wood dealers—being the
only region in the United States, that we know
of, where they can demand as high a price for
their sappy or rotten fuel us they do in this
market—say $8 or $lO per cord!
We copy the following from the published
proceedings of our City Council, at its last
meeting, as explaining more fully its uc: ; on
on the subjects involved than our brief notice
of Tuesday morning:
By Aid. Chapman: Resolved, that the Fi
nance committee be authorized to borrow $31,-
500 by the Ist day of February next. Adop
ted.
By Aid. Darden : Resolved, that in borrow
ing the $31,500 the Finance committee are
not authorized to annex or exact any condition
in reference to said loan, tlmt will or can bind
this Council or any person or persons to carry
out or to reject any contract or proposition for
the sale of the Muscogee Railroad stock, but
that said committee are hereby authorized to
pledge 1000 shares of said stock to secure the
payment of said $31,500. Unanimously adop
ted.
Aid. Jones offered the following: Whereas
there is within the corporate limits of Colum
bus (not comprised in streets or commons)
grounds of considerable value, belonging to
the State, which have never been a source of
any revenue either to the State or city ; And
whereas the present financial condition of the
city, as well as its future growth and pros
perity, demands that all the facilities for im
provement which can be offered should be ex
tended to it: Therefore, in order that said
property may bo improved and become availa
ble both to tho State and city :
Resolved, that the Senator and Representa
tives from Muscogee county, now in the Leg
islature, be requested to take such steps in the
enactment of a law as will cause all said
grounds within the city of Columbus belonging
to the State, to be sold off’, in lots, and sold
at tho earliest day practicable.
Resolved, that his Excellency the Governor
and the Senator and Representatives aforesaid,
each he furnished with a copy of the foregoing
preamble and resolutions, in order that the
subject may receive action without delay.—
Unanimously adppted.

The Grasping Policy of England.
The intelligent Washington correspondent
of the New York Journal of Commerce, (says
the Richmond Dispatch,) remarks that the
policy of England to grasp at naval stations
everywhere, to the prejudice of the rights of
other nations, has never been more steadily
and pertinaciously exemplified than in the last
five years:
This is illustrated by her seizure of the Bay
Islands, which, says the correspondent, she
will not relinquish, and by which she may
threaten and command the Gulf of Honduras
and the transit of the Isthmus, which will bo
greatly to the detriment of the United States
and its commerce upon the occurrence of a
war, and will give to Great Britain the key of
the gate of the Pacific, and the commerce of
the world. With Halifax, Jamaica, Bermuda,
and the Bay Islands in the West, and Gibraltar,
Malta and the lonian Islands in the East, she
will maintain her naval ascendancy in both
hemispheres. Her war with Russia is not a
war for principles, but to prevent Russia from
becoming a great naval and commercial power,
and it is for this purpose that she endeavors
to destroy every seacoast town, whether forti
fied or unfortified, on the Black Sea and the
Baltic.
While she socks to appropriate naval stations
to herself in every part of the world, she sys
tematically opposes every attempt of the U.
States to strengthen its naval position. “We
enter into a negotiation,” says the correspon
dent, “for a treaty in regard to the annexation
of the Sandwich Islands, and Great Britain
protests. Philo White makes a treaty with
Ecuador for a lease of tho Gallipagos Islands,
and Groat Britain protests. Philo Shelton
plants a flag upon a newly discovered guano
island, and Great Britain protests. General
Cazcncau makes a treaty with the Dominioan
Government for the privilege of establishing a
coal depot, and Great Britain protests ! She
grasps a every commanding insular position
the world over, and denies to the United States
the riglitof using or occupying one anywhere.”

Use of Salt in Cooking Vegetables.
Here is something everybody ought to have
known long ago, and that everybody should
now read and remember :
If one portion of vegetables be boiled in pure
distilled or vain water, and another in water
to which a little salt has been added, a decided
difference is perceptible in the tenderness of
the two. Vegetables boiled in pure water are
vastly inferior. The inferiority may go so far,
in the case of onions, that they are almost
entirely destitute of either taste or odor,
though when cooked in salted water, in addi
tion to the pleasant salt taste, they have a
peculiar sweetness and a strong aroma. They
also contain more soluble matter than when
cooked in pure water. Water which contains
I—l2oth of its weight of salt is far better for
cooking vegetables than pure water, because
the salt hinders the solution and evaporation
of the soluble and flavoring principles of the
vegetables.— Scientific American.

A Singular Phenomenon.
We were shown yesterday, by a gentleman
living near Fairfax U. H., ft species of bugs
that fell at that place during the rain of Satur
day night last. The snow for several miles
was robbed of its whiteness, and made to re
semble a vast field of colored velvet. \\ hat is
still more surprising, the intense coldness ot
the weather cannot kill them. They appa
rently seem to be stiffened by the raw atmos
phere ; but if placed near the fire will relax
and exhibit signs of life. They are very black,
and are but little larger that a grain of coarse
powder. Who can enlighten us on the “bug
question ?”—Alexandria Gaz.
An American Rabbi on Jesus Christ.
Dr. Raphael, the well known Jewish Rabbi,
in New York, says :—“ I, as a Jew, do say,
that it appears to me that Jesus became the
victim of fanaticism combined with jealousy
and lust of power in Jewish hierarchs, even as
in latter ages, Huss and Jerome, of Prague,
Latimer and Ridley became the victims of fa
naticism, combined with jealously and lust of
power in Christian hierarchs; and while I and
the Jews of the present day protest against
being identified with the zealots who were
concerned in the proceedings against Jesus of
Nazareth, we are far from reviling his charac
ter or deriding his precepts.”

MUSCOGEE PRESENTMENTS.
rjMIE First Panel of tire Grand Jury for Muscogee Su
perior Court—December Term, 1856, make the fol
lowing Presentments:
We find the Jail in a condition that needs immediate
attention. The prisoners’ cell in the rearof the building
requires some repairs; the sill in the window in the pas
sage needs replacing, and one of the bars is loose. The
Debtor’s cell should also be made more comfortable by the
introduction of a small stove during cold weather, and
the glass of the window in this (as in most of the cells)
is out. The Dungeon, for want of proper ventilation, is
liable to generate diseases or insure the death of priso
ners, particularly in warm weather; besides, prisoners
chained in other cells would be squally as secure, and wo
therefore consider said Dungeon worse than useless. The
bottom sills of the main building are rotting, and need re
placing at once; but if, by examination, a competent per
son should deem the repairs very expensive, we believe it
would be best to pull down and construct the entire build
ing upon a different and safer plan, and have the same
walled in so high as to prevent the possibility of a prison
er's escape. This recommendation derives additional force
from the charges made for guarding tho building during
the past twelve months to secure the safe-keeping of the
prisoners. A, jail that needs the services of an armed
guard, we consider too unsafe for this county to main
tain. The Grand Jury, however, are not satisfied with
the general expenses of tho Jail during the year just
closed. We have no accurate data of the precise amount;
hut from the best evidence before us, (the guarding in
cluded) cannot fall much short of four thousand dollars!
We find the Court House needs repairing. The plas
tering has fallen down in some of tho upper rooms and
also in the basement. The glass is broken in many of
the windows which require glazing, and the blinds should
have fastenings on the building to prevent their slam
ming back and forth by which the lights in the windows
are broken. -Cy
We present tiifc issuing of sliiuplasters in this city as
one of the evils that needs abatement. So far as we know
Columbus is the only city in the State where this viola
tion of the laws is openly practised. Former Grand Ju
ries have found “true bills’ against such practices and we
are at a loss to know why the nuisances are not abated.
We find the Books and papers of the Clerk of the Infe
rior Court correctly kept and neatly arranged.
The Books and papers in the ofiice of the Ordinary w’e
also find in an excellent condition.
We find the books of the Superior Court neatly kept
and the ofiice papers well arranged. We also find over
200 Declarations and Judgements issued under the former
Clerk, lately deceased, returned witli costs paid but unre
corded. We recommend the proper authorities to make
an appropriation to have them duly recorded. Also, to
furnish for the office a more convenient press tor the
Seal.
Wc present :is a great evil the habit of Solicitors set
tliug coses with parties and of allowing those parties to
pay for said settlements a merely nominal amount, there
by defeating the officers of tho Court from the collection
of their fees in said cases, and acting contrary to law; for
tho law provides that no case shall he settled by Solicitors
where the prosecutor and defendant have agreed, until
all costs due to all officers of the Court and witnesses’
fees (whether sworn or not), shall he paid.
We present another evil. We fiud, from examination,
that a number of Bonds have been forfeited, and that tho
same (or a great many of them) have been paid, and the
nmonnts so collected have not been accounted for to the
County Treasurer. We also find that a number of de
mands for fines and forfeitures have been placed in the
Sheriff’s bands, andjtlie Sheriff, after diligent inquiry,
reports that the parties (defendants in those demands)
would produce a receipt from the Solicitor, :is having set
tled with said defendants, and that these amounts have
not been accounted for by him to the Treasurer. The
law makes it the duty of tho Solicitor on each Circuit at
each and every Fall term of the Superior Court, to settle
with the County Treasurer of eaelt county within their
Circuits of all monies which may have come into their
hands during said year belonging to said county, and to
pay over to the said Treasurer all monies which may be
found in the said Solicitor’s hands. Under these circum
stances we respectfully request of his honor, Judge Wor
rill, to cause said Solicitor to make a settlement with the
county Treasurer of Muscogee county, as the law directs,
or to cause a rule nisi to issue against the Solicitor Gen
eral in lavor ot the County Treasurer of Muscogee coun
ty, at this term of the Court, to show cause why such
settlement has not been made by him. in conformity with
the statutes iu such cases made and provided.
We also respectfully suggest to the Inferior Court the
propriety of employing some suitable person to attend
to the collection of all forfeitures and flues, and to force
their collection, and when so collected to pay the respec
tive amounts over to the county Treasurer of Muscogee
county.
We have examined the Books of the Treasurer, and
find them neatly kept, wc also find from tho balances of
said book, the county is clear of debt up to this time. We
find in the hands of the Treasurer s7tK),2B—being a re
served Jury fund. We congratulate ourselves and the
County, that for the first time wc find “Old Muscogee”
“right side up, out of debt.”
Wo have examined the Tax Book of the Collector,
Thos. Chaffin, Esq., for the year 1855, aud do allow him
the sum of $15.83 for bis insolvent list on the State tax,
and also SOB.BO for bis insolvent County tax.
We tender our thanks to his honor Judge Worrill for
his courteous d-meanor to each and every member of our
body, and congratulate the Circuit upon having so faith
ful and competent a judicial officer to execute and enforce
the laws of the country. We arc likwise indebted to
John Peabody, Esq., (Solicitor pro tern.) tor his gentle
manly deportment toward us during the present session,
and
Wc respectfully request tlmt these Presentments be
published in the various news papers of this citv.
