LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
Aid to the Mobile and Girard Rail Road.
Tho House of Representatives ot Alabama,
on the 80th ult., passed the bilj to make a loan
to the Mobile and Girard Railroad company.

Important Foreign Nows.
The news by the steamship Arabia, though
it does not by any means assure us of peace—
ns tiio first dispatch led us to suppose—is still
very important and interesting. Anew pcaoe
Conference, with agreed propositions for bases
of peace articles, will be hold; and as each
nation is undoubtedly tired of the war, the
will will be very apt to lind out the way to a
peaceful solution. . Huch, at least, is tho confi
dence of this result in England, as to cause a
very material advance in Consuls and an im
provement in cotton.

It is reported tiiatthe Democratic Senatorial
caucus, at Washington, have at length been
able to agree upon a nomination for printers
to that body. The proprietors of the Union
are the nominees.

Ice—Northern and Southern.
The New York Journal of Commerce esti
mates the value of the ice business of the North
at $11,W00,000 to $7,000,000, and that from
eight to ten thousand persons are employed in
the winter in obtaining it. This is a larger
estimate than we would have expected. The
probability being that many cities and towns,
that have heretofore been dependent on the
North for this summer luxury, will this year
consume the home-made article, wc may anti
cipate a Serious falling oft in the demand at
Boston, New York, &c. Throughout tliecoun
try, as low as latitude 84, we should suppose,
each neighborhood has provided its own ice,
and thus a portion of the South has produced
for itself an article heretofore extensively im
ported. But it happens to be a measure of
economy for which our people are not indebted
to thoir own exertions. The crop has been a
plentiful one ; but we verily believe that if the
people of the South had been required to pheut
tfir seed, it would not have been grown at all
Mr. Toombs in Boston.
()n Tuesday of last week our Senator deliv
ered his anticipated address on slavery before
a Boston audiouce. According to the accounts
before us, there was a very large assembly to
boar him, and very little disturbance was rais
ed—the few attempts to hiss or provoke the
Honorable speaker being promptly cheeked,
more by his own calm and contemptuous treat
ment of tho disturbers than by the efforts of
the loaders of the meeting. Mr. T. was ac
companied by William and Nathan Appleton,
both ex-members of Congress, and conserva
tive citizens of Boston, who sat beside him in
tho stand. Ho was loudly cheered, both on
his entrance and at the conclusion ol’ his
speech, though a few jeers and hisses wore
also heard.
Os (lie matter of his speech it is not neces
sary to givo any extended report. Everybody
know that lie would make an able effort, but
many wore surprised by his calm and argu
mentative treatment of the question. The N.
\ . Express says that ‘‘ho was, iu his mode and
matter, much calmer, and cooler than in his
excited harangues in Congress, or on the
(ieorgia stump—and logical and demonstrative
at times, thus producing a powerful effect
upon the Boston mind. There were no new
views put forth to men, who have studied the
Constitution and the African question, but tlie
views were new and fresh to masses of his
hearers, who never before heard the Southern
side. The leeturo, in this respect* will do
great good, and it is a great pity it could not
be heard everywhere.”
The “powerful effect on the Boston mind,”
we imagine, will be of short duration. Mr.
Toombs’ statements and arguments will be the
standing theme for misrepresentation and per
version by the abolition speakers, when he is
away and there is no one present to defend
them. They will furnish many a text for po
litical sermons by Parker, Beecher, and others,
and every sophistry and falsehood which abo
litionism can invent will lie brought to bear,
until the “powerful effect” is not only over
come but made to react and excite dupes and
fanatics so renewed acts of treason and faction-
The War in Hayti.
The New York Evening Post, abolition print,
has long had in Hayti a correspondent of itsown
stripe, who has always been an admirer of
Houloquo, and an opponent of the effort of our
(loverument to extend its iullueuee on the
island. This writer sends the Evening Post
an account of the late battle between the Do
minicans and the negroes, and ho charnctcmcs
the result as “bad enough.” According to his
account, the main army under Souloque per
sonally numbered 000, besides a detachment
of 7,000 encamped near by. The maiu ar- j
my encountered “a body of Dominicans of !
about four hundred men, with a cannon, in an !
open field, but near a piece of woods,” and j
after exchanging a few shots, the Dominicans j
made a charge, driving the advance guard of ;
2000 in great contusion upon the black Empe
ror’s own division, which also broke and tied,
and Souloque himself barely escaped. Ho had
with him, in his money-chest, $3,000,000 in
the currency of the island and SBO,OOO of
Spanish coin, all of which, with the guns,
ammunition, provisions and baggage of his
army, fell into the hands of the Dominicans.
Souloque, when last heard of, had reached a
small place called Bonhcur, with about one
thousand men, and the scattered remnants of
his army refused to join him again.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
iif tho fiuvnnnali Journal.
Tuesday, Jan. 29.
House of Representatives. —Mr. Phillips
moved to reconsider the refusal of the House
to agree to a resolution presented by himself
on yesterday, authorizing tlie Superintendent ;
I of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, to re- i
ceive tlie bonds of certain Railroad Companies
in the State of Tennessee,payable in tcnycars,
and drawing interest from date, in payment of
freight charges for tlie transportation of iron
chairs and spikes for the use of said Railroads,
over the Western and Atlantic Railroad. The
• motion was lost.
The unfinished business of yesterday was
taken up, to wit: A bill to be entitled an act
to provide for the education of the youth of
Georgia, in the rudiments of an English educa
tion, and a substitute offered therofor by the
Hon. W. 11. Stiles, in which lie proposes the
appointment of a Commissioner of Public
Schools for the IStatc-
The original and substitute have both been
defeated by a vote of 88 to 79.
One thousand copies of the address of tho
Hon. William A. Stiles were ordered to be
printed, for tlie use of the House and for dis
tribution.
The bill proposing to loan the Bonds of the
State to the Brunswick and Florida, and the
Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad Compa
nies, was, on motion of Mr. Crook, made the
special order for to-morrow.
A bill proposing to lny out and organize a
new county from Carroll, Campbell and Pauld
ing, was, on motion of Mr. Watts, laid on the
table for the balance of the session; but as
the friends of the measure have furnished
themselves with the yeas and nays on tlie same,
1 presume the House will be harangued to
morrow ou the subject of its reconsideration.
Anew county to be called Berrien, was cre
ated to-day in the House from Coffee, Irwin
and Lowndes; also, one to be called Colquitt
from the Comities of Thomas and Lowndes.
A communication from tho Governor in re
gard to tlie relations of Georgia witli tho State of
Tennessee, growing out of the Western and At
lantic Rail Road, was referred to a special com
mittee.
His message predicated upon the resolutions
of Vermont, relative to the subject of slavery,
was read, referred to tlie Committee on the
State of the Republic, and 100 copies ordered
to be printed.
Mr. Jones, of Muscogee, offered a resolution,
tlie effect of which is to cease till intercourse
with tho State of Vermont, until she learns to
regard her constitutional obligations, and to
observe that courtesy which is due from sister
States of this Union to each other. Mr. Thorn
ton offered a substitute, requesting the Gov
ernor of Georgia to transmit to tlie Governor
of Vermont the resolutions passed by tlie Con
vention of the State in the year 1850, together
with adcadcn ball, and request the same to be
laid before tlie General Assembly of that State.
Air. Terhuno offered to amend by adding a
little powder. Mr. Jones by adding a coil of
rope.
Mr. Smith, of Union, presented the follow
ing:
Resolved, by the General Assembly of tlie
State of Georgia, that liis Excellency the Gov
ernor is hereby requested to transmit tlie Ver
mont resolutions forthwith to tlie deep, dark
and foetid sink of social arid political inequity
from whence they emanated, with tlie follow
ing unequivocal declaration inscribed thereon,
viz:
Resolved, That Georgia, standing on her
Constitutional palladium, heeds not the maniac
ravings of hell-bom fanaticism, nor stoops from
her lofty position to hold terms with perjured
traitors.
The same were also referred to the Conimit
ttee on the State of the Republic.
Nothing more of peculiar interest was done.
CoiTospoiuleucc of tlie Constitutionalist.
In the Senato, Mr. Brice reported a bill to
compel all persons liable, to perform road du
ty, which was read the first time.
All'. McMillan introduced a bill to compen
sate persons in possession of land, whose titles
may be defective, which was read first time.
A bill was reported to amend the Claim Laws
ol tlie State, to settle and make permanent
and certain tlie Court to which all claims to
personal property, levied on by virtue of exe
cution, or other process than attachment, from
any of the Courts of this State, shall be made
roturoiul.lo nnd triable, Ac.", which was read
the fivst time.
A resolution was laid on the table, by Mr.
Screven, requesting his Excellency tlie Gov
ernor, to have tlie muskets in the arsenals nt
Savannah and Milledgeville, exchanged for
amis of a later and more approved model.
Tho Senate then began the reconsideration
of tho unfinished business of the last adjourn*
incut, which was the Governor's message rela
tive to tlie Vermont resolutions. These reso
lutions wore disposed of, according to the plan
suggested in the resolutions of Mr. Lawton,
namely: returning them to thoir soureo, with
no other comment than that expressed in silent
contempt.
The bill to organize anew county out of Un
ion, was lost by a decisive minority.
On motion of Mr. Peoples, the Senate took
up tho report of tho Committee of tlie Whole
on tho bill to appropriate money for the com
pletion of the State Lunatic Asylum. The bill
was taken up by sections. After a dry discus
sion, the appropriation was fixed at $55,000
annually for the years ’55 and ’SO, to lie paid
from the Treasury, without reference to any
particular fund.
Tho bill to abolisli imprisonment for debt,
was postponed indefinitely.
A bill to appoint Commissioners of Pilotage
for the navigable waters of the Port of Darien
in tho county of Mclntosh, was passed.
The resolution from tho joiut Committee, on
the time of adjournment tint die, was reported,
fixing such adjournment on the 20th proximo.
It lias not yet been agreed toby this body. The
Senate then adjourned.
Conscience.
An exchange paper says: “A man in a
certain village, with whom we are unacquaint
ed, who had sanded sugar sold to him, inserted
in tho weekly paper tlie following notice:
“I purchased of a grocer in this village a
quantity of sugar, from which 1 obtained one
pound of sand; and if tho rascal who cheated
me will send to my address seven pounds of
good sugar, (Scripture measure,) 1 shall be
satisfied : if not. 1 shall expose him.”
On the following day, nine sovon pouud
packages of sugar were left at his residence
liy as inaiiy different dealers, each one suppos
ing himself to be tlie person intended.
Distressing.
Mr. James G. Cox for many years a citizen
ot tins Parish, set out with liis negroes some
time in December, for Western Texas, where
he had determined to locate. Wc learn that
while crossing a prairie forty miles wide, the
cold northers attacked his party and eight of
liis negroes froze to death, and two of his
wagons were cut up and burned as fuel to save
tlie lives of himself anil tlie balance of his j
negroes. Mr. Cox was himself seriously ill. !

Important from Japan—Fighting between
the Americans and Japanese.
We take the following from the Friend of
China, of November 12th:
We learn bv the Tartar, that the day after
tlie Japanese convention (British) was ratified
at Nagsski, Admiral Sterling was asked by the
Commissioners to give his advice on the course
to be pursued towards the Americans, who, it
was said, with Mine vessels at Simoda, were
breaking tlie peuco in tlie most outrageous
manner. The Admiral is reported to have
recommeuded concession to the American
demands, provided they wore in any way rea
sonable.
An American gentleman writes on tlie subject:
I understand that a fleet of twelve sail of
American whalers visited Sifnoda in anticipa
tion of receiving supplies agreeably to the late
treaty.
Report “is they were treated very unkindly,
and a determination was made by the Japanese
from some cause, not to furnish them with any
supplies.
The Americans were not to be trifled witli;
they took what they wanted, and paid in dol
lars at their fair weight, theone third in value,
as fixed on by the treaty, they would have no
knowledge of.
It is said that guns had been fired and Ja
panese killed.
Guano— its History.
Guano, as most people understand, is im
ported from tho islands of the Pacific, mostly
of the Chinch a group off tho coast of Peru,
and under tho dominion of that government.
Its sale is made a monopoly, and tlie avails, to
a groat extent, go to pay the British holders
of Peruvian government bonds, giving them,
to all intents and purposes, a lien upon the
profits of a treasure intrinsically more valua
ble than the gold mines of California. There
are deposits of this unsurpassed fertilizer in
some places to the depth of sixty or seventy
feet and over large extents of surface.
The guano fields are generally conceded to
bo the excrements of aquatic fowls which live
and nestle in great numbers around the is
lands. They seemed designed by nature to
rescue, at least in part, that untold amount
of fertilizing material which every river and
brooklet is rolling into the sea. The wash of
alluvial soils, the floating refuse of the forest,
and above all, the wasted material of great
cities, are constantly being carried by the tidal
currents out to sea. These, to a certain ex
tent at least, go to nourish, directly or indi
rectly, submarine vegetable and animal life,
which in turn goes to feed the birds, and they
deposit the guano, which at our own day is
brought away by the ship load from the
Cliincha islands.
The bird is a beautifully arranged chemical
laboratory, fitted up to perform a single
operation, viz: tn take the fish as food, burn
out the carbon by means of its respiratory
functions, and deposit the remainder in the
shape of an incomparable fertilizer.
But how many ages have these depositions
of seventy feet in thickness been accumulating?
There are at the present day countless num
bers of tlie birds resting upon the islands at
night? but, according to Baron llumbolt, the
excremeut of the birds for the space of three
centuries, would not form a stratum over one
third of an inch in thickness. By an easy
mathematical calculation, it will be seen that
at this rate of deposition it would take seven
thousand five hundred and sixty centuries, or
seven hundred and fifty thousand years, to
form the deepest guano bed !
Sugar in Louisiana.
At a convention of Sugar Planters, held in
New Orleans on Tuesday of last week, the
President, Judge John Moore, in taking his
seat gave some very interesting statistics rela
tive to the sugar trade of Louisiana, and to the
immense yearly revenue accruing to N. Orleans
therefrom. He said that:
“In the year 185(-’5, the value of thesugar
and molasses manufactured iu the State was
$17,000,000, $10,000,000 of which was landed
at New Orleans. The cost of freight, insur
ance charges, commissions, &c., outliis portion
of the crop landed in New Orleans amounted,
it was estimated, to $1,250,000, which sum
had all gone to enrich New Orleans. He also
estimated that the city during the year had
been a gainer of the country in about a like
sum, by the commission and charges on sup
plies furnished by our merchants to the sugar
planters, thus making the immense revenue
to the city during one year, from tho sugar
trade alone, of $2,500,000. Tlie speaker esti
mated the value of the sugar crop of 1855-6
at $22,500,000, and thought tlie revenue
arising to New Orleans, from its being brought
here, would exceed that of 1854-’5 by a con
siderable sum. With this immense revenue
to New Orleans, arising from tlie sugar trade,
he thought it especially behooved those who
governed the city to frame ordinances which
should protect and encourage this important
portion of our commerce.”
The Treaty with Sweden.
A Circular addressed by Baron Sticrneld,
the Sweden Minister of Foreign Affairs, to all
tho Swedish Envoys, distinctly states that the
terms of tho Treaty only Sweden to a
defensive alliance with the Western Powers.
“It will depend upon Russia,” says the Circu
lar, “to prevent its application: as this would
not occur unless caused by an aggression on
her part. Let Russia respect our rights—let
her cease to inspire just cause of alarm for the
maintenance of the balance of power in Eu
rope—and this treaty will not be of any pre
judice to her. This treaty does not imply any
change iu our actual position : our declara
tion of neutrality still subsists, and will con
tinue to be adhered to, as has hitherto been
the case.”

Later from Mexico.
New Orleans, Jan. 28. —The steamer Texas
has arrived, with Vera Cruz dates of the 23d.
Anew revolution, headed by Alvarez, had
broken out, and Comonfort’s rule been over
thrown. After hard fighting tlie insurgents
had gained possession of the greater portion
of the city of Puebla. Affairs were in a gen
eral state of confusion.
The Lowell News says that the Leap Year
Ball of the carpet factory girls came off ae*
! cording to announcement, ou Thursday evening,
and was a very pleasant affair. ‘The ladies,’
it says, ‘to the number of about seventy-five,
healthy, robust, cheery and lovely, took their
carriages, called for their boaux, were driven
tothehall, where ladies managed, selected their
own partners, ordered the supper, and glori
ously paid all tlie bills!’ The partners select
! ed spoke well for the judgment of the girls.—
The News says:
“We were amused, however, on observing
bright eyed lassos, with roguish eyes, run up
I to demure young men and solicit tlie honor of
their hand for the ‘next cotillon.’ Who could |
| refuse ? < )ne enraptured soul engaged himself I
to eight different-ladies for ‘Money Musk,’ and
to six others for “Hull’s Victory.’ Many a
poor heart hid away under a vest was irre
trievably ruined. But it could not be helped.”
The company broke up about two o’clock, i
when the ladies escorted their beaux home,
and then went off to their own.

COTTON AND CONSULS ADVANCED.
Telegraphed for the Daily Sun.
Augusta, Jan. 31—10.15 f. m.
The British steamship Arabia has arrived
at Halifax from Liverpool, bringing news one
week later than the Baltic. She left Liver
pool on the 19th inst.
The news is highly interesting and impor
tant.
It was reported, and the report was believ
ed to be authentic, that the Czar had accepted
the propositions of the Allies for peace.
Cotton had advanced Jto Jd. The sales of
the week amounted to 58,000 bales.
Consuls had also advaced to 89£ to 89$ —an
improvement of about 3 per cent, within the
week.

A Contrast.
What a contrast the two following cases
present! John M. Shrock, the defaulting
treasurer of Holmes county, Ohio, ran away
with $22,000 of the public money. He was
pursued to Europe, captured, brought back,
tried, convicted, and sentenced to one year’s
imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Charlesß.
Smith, a resident of the same county, about
the same time borrowed a horse worth about
$75, and rode him tea neighboring town, sold
him, pocketed the money, was pursued, caught,
tried, convicted, and sentenced to the Peni
tentiary for three years.
Refreshingly Cool.
A conductor on a New England road was
sent for by the President or Superintendent of
the road one day, and rather summarily in
formed that after that week, tlie company
would not require his services. He asked who
was to be his successor, and asked why he was
to be removed. After pressing the question
some time, and failing to obtain a satisfactory
explanation, a little light dawned upon him,
and he addressed his superior officer nearly as
follows ; “You are about making a great mis
take. You know, Sir, I have a nice house, a
fast horse, a splendid gold watch, and an ele
gant diamond ring. That fellow you have
chosen to take my place has got to get all these
things.” It is said the argument was conclu
sive, and the conductor allowed to retain his
position.
The St. Louis market is full of game, which
is selling at low prices. The same may be said
of Vincennes, Indiana. At the latter place, a
few days since, a man arrived from Illinois,
bringing with him the following assortment of
game, making in all five wagon loads, 2,400
rabbits, 0 barrels quails, 14 whole deer, 25
saddles venison, 144 prairie chickens, and wild
geese, ducks, turkeys, squirrels, &c., to almost
any extent.
The British mail steam ship Persia, Capt.
Judkins, was to have left Liverpool on Satur
day last for New York, on her first voyage
across the Atlantic. She is an iron vessel, and
the largest steamer afloat. It is expected she
will perform the voyage in 7 or 8 days. On
her recent trip from Greenock to Liverpool, it
is said she averaged 16 knots an hour. A
Liverpool letter says:
“ According to the government rule of ad
measurement, her power is equal to that of 900
horses. According to the plan laid down in
Earl Bardwick’s bill, 1200 horses, and accord
ing to James Watt’s old established rule of 33,-
000 lbs. per horse, she would work up to 4000
or 5000 horses. She has seven water-tight
compartments; separate sleeping accommoda
tions for 300 passengers, and a clear promen
ade from stem to stern, along the roof of the
deck house.
“The weight of iron in the Persia when
launched was 2200 tons, and, with the engines,
400 tons of coal, and full cargo, her weight
will be 5400 tons, with which she will draw 23
teet of water. Her accommodations are for
1200 tons measurement of goods. Steam be
ing her sole motive agent, she is but lightly
rigged, with three masts. Bets are offered
that she will accomplish the trip between Eu
rope and America in seven days.”
An Arkansas Legislator.
A member elect of the lower chamber of the
Legislature of Arkansas was persuaded by
some wag of his neighborhood that if he did
nut reach the Stale House at ten o’clock on the
day of assembling he could not be sworn and
would lose his seat. He immediately mount
ed with hunting frock, rifle and bowie-knife,
and spurred till he got to the door of the capitol,
where in the chamber of the lower house on the
ground floor he found a crowd walking about
with their bats on, and smoking cigars.—
Those he passed, ran up stairs into the Senate
Chamber, set his rifle against the wall, and
bawled out—
‘Strangers, whars tho man that swars me
in?’ At the same time taking out his creden
tials.
‘Walk this way,’ said the clerk, who was at
the moment igniting a real prineipc, and lie
was sworn without inquiry.
When the teller came to count tho noses he
found that there was one Senator too many
present. The mistake was soon discovered,
and tlie huntsman was informed that he did
not belong there.
‘Fool who! with your corn bread !’ lieroar
od,. ‘you can t flunk this child, nohow you can
flx it—l m elected to this Legislature, and I’ll
go again all banks and eternal improvements,
and if there’s any of your oratory gentlemen
that wants to get skinned, just say tho word,
and I’ll light upon you like a nigger on a wood
chuck. My constituents sent me here, and if
you want to floor this two legged animal, hop
on, just as soon as you like, for though I’m
from the back country, I’m a little smarter
than any other quadruped yon can turn out of
this drove.’
After this admirable language, ho put his
bowic knife between his teeth and took up his
rifle with ‘come here old Sake, stand by me!’
at the same time pointing it at the chairman, i
who, however, had seen such people before.— j
After some expostulation, the man was per- j
suntied that he belonged to the lower chamber, i
upon which he sheathed his knife, flung his j
gun on his shoulder and with a profound con
gee, remarked, Gentlemen, 1 beg your pardon, j
But it I didn’t think that lower room was a .
groggery, may I be shot.’
