COLUMTiTIS: Saturday Morning, February * 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. Commodore Morris, ft distinguished naval officer during our last war with Groat Britain, during which struggle lie distinguished him self on the Constitution and the frigate Adams, died in Washington City on the 2Kth nit 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. ♦ Congressional. Washington, Jan. 30.—Mr. Clingman offer ed. to-day, a resolution for the adoption of tiic plurality rule, which was lost, after debate, by 100 yeas to 110 nays. 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. ! —Caddo (La.) Ga:eltc. 19 th ult. 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. TELEGRAPHIC. ONE WEEK LATER_FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA PEACE AGREED ON ! 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. SECOND DISPATCH. Augusta, Feb. I—ll A. M. Official dispatches say Russia only accepts the Austrian proposals as basis of peace nego tiations. -—■ —-> 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.’ commercial.
