COLUM BUS: 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. Washington News. Washington, Jan. 29, P. M.—Hon. George M. Dallas has accepted the Mission to Eng land, in the placeof lion. .Jamesßuchanan, re signed. Hon. Albert Rust, of Arkansas, assaulted HoraceGrecley,this afternoon, inconsequence of sotne offensive remarks published in a letter from Washington, in the Tribune. “Old Horace” was not seriously hurt. A caucus of Democratic Senators has nomi nated the publishers of the Washington Union, for Public Printers for the Senate. In the House, to-day, the Hon. Martin J. Crawford, of Georgia, gave notice that he would, on to-morrow, make a motion to pro ceed to the election of a Speaker, in one of the ways prescribed by the Constitution of the United States for the election of President— that is, each State to have one vote. Mr. James A. Stewart, of Maryland, offered a resolution, which requires the concurrence of the Senate, that if the House did not organ ize by the sth of February, that both houses of Congress should adjourn until tho 15th of May next. The resolution was laid on the table. The House had another unsuccessful ballot, and thou adjourned. 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. Louis Napoleon has presented a magnificent gold chalice, inscribed “ Napoleon 111,” to Rev. Father Canvin, Catholic pastor of Hobo ken, N. Y. 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.” N. Yokk, Jan. 26.—The Staten Island Ferry boat Columbus, while on her passage this morning, with a large number of passengers, was cut through by the floating ice, and sunk near the mouth of East River. The passen gers were all saved getting on the ice, from whence they were taken in small boats-to the dock. Mrs. Lucinda Thompson, Crawford county, Ohio, obtained a divorce from her husband at 8 o’clock, and at 10 the same evening was mar ried to Mr. Talcott. Who says we are not “a fast people ?” 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.
