COLUMBU H: Nuturdny Morula*, February W, I*** LARGEIT CITY CIRCULATIOBf. Washburn's Circus Closed its exhibitions in this city by perfor mances yesterday afternoon and night holme large and delighted audiences. IV o commend thin company to the public in other towns I which it may visit. The lovers of sport and ■ the admirers of skill cannot tail to be pleased j with Its exhibitions. ♦ - Our river had risen several feet yesterday, and was still rising slowly at night. The stea mer Oswicbee arrived yesterdy morning, with considerable freight. There is now water enough for good navigation. Weather rather cooler yesterday evening. Wendell Philips says no Yunkee is satisfied with the truth, unless you prove it is worth eight or ten per cent. ♦ The races over the Washington Course, near Charleston, commenced on Wednesday. On that day there were two rages. The first —four mile heats—was won hy John Belcher’s Prank Allen, beating W. JI. Ciihbons’ Nannie Lewis, and Calvin Breen's Frankfort. Time, 7.-6GJ, 8:30. The second race —a sweepstakes for three year old’s—two mile beats— was won by W. 11. Gibbons’ Julia, beating Thos. A. Pur year’s Moidore, and T. J. Goodwin’s Hero. Time, 3:585, 3:474, 3:515. Several of the Alabama papers have run up the name of Hon. Benj. Fitzpatrick, one of their Senators in Congress, ns their candidate for the Vico Presidency on the ticket with President Pierce. The Alabama Legislature has passed, over the Governor’s veto, a bill making an addition al appropriation of SISO,(HH) for the comple tion of an nsylutn for the insane at Tuska loosa. ♦ - - The steamer Charles llartridge was burnt on the Savannah river on Monday last, with 450 bales of cotton. One hundred bales in the bold, it is thought, will be saved in a dam aged condition. No insurance on boat or cargo. Mr. Cullum, the Clerk of the House of Rep resentatives, is a Tennessee ex-member of Congress, an opponent to the Knnsus-Nebraska act, and u Know-Nothing. Ho was elected Clerk, by resolution, by a majority of .‘SO votes. The most distinguished honors have been paid to the memory of Hon. Andrew J. Miller by the city of Augusta, its benevolent asso ciations, the bar, and the citizens generally.— The public regret for his death was universal, and all classes in the city feel that they have lost a friend and able advocate. The delega tion sent hy the Legislature to attend his fu neral could not get there in time, owing to a failure to muko the connection at some point on the Railroad, and returned to Milledgevillc. The bill accepting the balance of the Jf* 10,- 000,000 voted to Texas in consideration of the transfer to the United States of a portion of New Mexico claimed by her, on the conditions proposed by Congress, has passed both branch es of the Texas Legislature. It will be re membered that the Governor, in his annual message, recommended the adoption of this measure, heretofore rejected by Texas because of the restrictions imposed by the Federal Gov ernment. ■ • Massachusetts and South Carolina. These too old States, being the representa tives of the extreme conflictingpolitical creeds of their respective sections of tho Union, have long been bitterly antagonistic in all national and party contests. The election of Banks ovor Aiken was an important triumph of the latter State, and no doubt South Carolina feels that her policy has been trampled tinder foot by tho success of her rival. But the “winter of her discontent” has developed the germ of a refreshing ami exultant summer. The owners of ice houses at Charleston have been gather ing their own ice crop, and South Carolina will, for the first time, be independent of Mas sachusetts for a supply. We doubt much whether the “solid men of Boston” have reaped the most substantial advantage from the events of the winter- whether their exultation over their political advantage will counter-balance the pecuniary loss attending the refusal of their ice by tho South. Land Warrants. Tho Washington papers announce that Land Warrants are again declining in value, as they anticipated would be the case when the mails became more regular. The Organ of the 2d inst. says that tho supply is now greater than the demand. The high rates paid for the past ten days Ims invited largo quantities to this market. One dealer bought in New York aud Boston on yesterday, at $1 02 for 120’s, and $1 05 per acre for 80 sand 160’s. A small quantity was sold yesterday morning at a fig ure above these rates; but at the close of the day they were refused at less rates. They are dull to-day at $1 02 for 120’s, and $1 05 a If 1 Oil for 80’s and 180’s. The dealers predict a further and material decline before the open ing of spring. l'he Ameriern party of Alabama, at a State Convention held in Montgomery on Monday last, appointed Delegates to a National Conven tion of the party, and nominated a full Electo ral ticket. Tho Delegates for the State at large are Hon. Arthur P. Hopkins, of Mobile, and Hon. George D. Shortridgc of Shelby. The State Electors are lion. J ere Clemens of Hunts ville, and Hon. 11. W. Hilliard of Montgomery. The Convention adopted resolutions denying the power of Congress to legislate in any way on the subject of slavery, repudiating the doc trine of “squatter sovereignty,” re-uftirming the Georgia Platform, and requesting the Hon. Win. R. Smith and Hon. Percy Walker (Repre sentatives in Congress from Alabama) to at tend the National Convention to be held at Philadelphia on the 22d inst., and urge the poßtpouemeut of the nomination of candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency to a later period. Soulouque’s Defeat Confirmed. The Kingston (Ja.) Banner, of the l'.uh, has the following confirmation of the defeat of the Emperor of llayti: By the arrival of the steamer Buzzard, yes- i ter day, we learn that the expedition which ■ was fitted out by the Emperor Kofrlouqne for the invasion of the Spanish side of San Do mingo hud met the Dominican forces, and that a bloody battle took place between the con tending armies. In the conflict, General Dufresn, of the Haytien army, and another general officer, were surrounded by the Span- | iards, and fell before superior numbers. The fin-tunes of war, however, decided in favor of the Dominicans, and the forces of Soulouquc were driven back with great slaughter. The Emperor himself had disappeared altogether, and it is said that lie run like a coward on the day of the battle. It is supposed that he has been killed by tlic Spaniards, or died from the fatigue of the march homewards. Soulouque’s mutilated army had not yet re turned, but as soon as the disappearance of the sable Emperor was made known at the capital, a provisional Emperor was proclaimed, who will, in all probability, succeed to tho reins of power. The expatriated Haytiens of this city were delighted with the intelligence, and the next arrival from lluyti is looked for with great interest. - + Banks’ first business, after he was elected Speaker on Saturday, was to sign the certifi cates of the members for their pay, which he did the same evening, and the presumption is that they had a happy time of it tliut night.— An idea may be formed of the straitened finan cial statu* of many of tho members, from the fact that M. Glossbremier, on Monday, drew from the Treasury SBO,(MM) in gold on certifi cates given to him in payment of money ad vanced to the needy Honorables. IMPORTANT NEWS BY TELEGRAPH Congressional. Washington, Feb. 5. In the Senate Mr. Clayton introduced a res olution appropriating two hundred cords of wooil to the suffering poor of Washington, from the contingent fund. This was tabled by a majority of seven votes. Mr. Foote made a warm speech on Central American affairs. He proposed that wc make u direct declaration to England, of our purpo ses to enforce our construction of the Clayton Bulwer Treaty. If this proved unavailing, and all negotiations became exhausted, he ad vocated giving her formal notice that she must withdraw from the Central American posses sions hy a given day. If she then still held out, he would have her removed by force of arms. Mr. Wilson next obtained the floor, Avlienthe Senate adjourned. In the House Mr. Olossbrenner, Democrat, and the present incumbent, was elected Ser geant at Anns, hy resolution. The vote stood 108 to *JB. A resolution was adopted by a vote of 119 to 1)6, declaring Nathan Darling, door keeper. Robert Morris, a grandson of the distin guished patriot and financier of Revolutionary memory, was appointed Postmaster to the House of Representatives. Pending a resolution to elect O. Toilet, of Ohio, Printer, the House adjourned. Washington, Feb. 0. The Senate appropriated SISOO for the pur chase of wood for the suffering poor of Wash ington, and then adjourned. The House took three unsuccessful ballots for Printer, and adjourned. Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency. Philadelphia, Feb. 5, The Delegates elected at the Democratic city Convention held last evening, met to-day to choose delegates to tlic State Convention.— Resolutions were introduced declaring the lion. James Huclmnun to be tho choice of the Con vention. and the favorite son of Pennsylvania; also instructing the delegates to the State Con vention to vote in his favor. These Avere re ferred to a Committee on Resolutions, with in structions to report them to-morrow. The vote was nearly unanimous. • Later from Santo Fo. Independence, Feb. 24. The thni'inotnotar here ijulioaf.ee n. hmqie.ra ture of 22 degrees below zero, and the enow is three and four feet deep. Advices from Santa Fe state that the Salt Lake mails, which star ted on the Ist instant, had been compelled to return, and it is believed that men and animals on the Salt Lake route had been frozen to death. Rail Road Accident. Philadelphia, Feb. 5. An accident has occurred on the Rail Road between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, killing one and wounding twenty-seven passengers. Nicaragua Affairs. Washington, Feb. ti. Mr. Wheeler, U. S. Minister to Nicaragua, has written to Mr. Marcy that Walker’s govern ment avus firmly established, and that lie lmd an army 1500 strong ; liad a plan for the union of all the Central American States ; would be doubtless successful, and that under all those circumstances our government might receive a Minister in the place of Mr. French. Later from Kansas. Chicago, Feb. 4. Advices from Kansas state that no election was held at Leavenworth and other points on the day fixed for the election of State officers, in consequence, as is alleged, of an apprehen sion of violence from the Missourians. Letters state that another general invasion was apprehended, and that extensive warlike preparations were making at Lawrence and Topeka. Robert J. Walker, Avkoso opportunities of forming a correct opinion on tlic subject, are as good as those of any other outsider, believes there will be a speedy peace in Europe. He thinks so for three reasons. Marshal Paskie- Avitcli bequeathed his flying injunction to tho Emperor to make peace, amino one iu Russia, says Mr. Walker, ever gives advice that Is not certain to be agreeable to the Enperor. Min ister Seymour, at Vienna, is a very careful, cautious man, and would not give rise to hopes that there was any probability of disappoint ing. And finally, which is the great argu ment indeed hy Mr. Walker, iu confirmation of his opinion, the Russian Government wish to conclude the railroad already commenced from the Capitol to the Crimea. Great railroad schemes, Mr. Walker tliiuks, exert an im mense control in the actions of both nations i and men. A Foul Slander. It is said that in South Florida last week : there were seven of Uncle Sam’s regular troops surrounded by one Indian! This report needs confirmation. We do not hesitate to say, we don’t believe it. —Alligator Advertiser. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Cos. ruspomlcucL- of tlif Savannah Journal. Tuesday, Feb. 5. Senate. —On the assemblage of the Senate this morning in pursuance of previous ar rangement, the proceedings in relation to the • leath qf the Honorable Andrew J. Miller, late n Senator from the county of Richmond, took place and were witnessed by n large audience, consisting of Members of the House of Repre sentatives, strangers now on a visit to the Capitol, and the gallery filled with ladies —all seemingly much affected with the sad occasion. Amidst profound silence, Mr. Pope, Sena tor from Wilkes, arose and offered the following Resolutions, ns the report of the Committee appointed on yesterday : Resolved, That the intelligence of the death of Honorable Andrew .1. Miller,* late a member of the Senate, from the county of Richmond, is received with deep concern and regret by this body. Resolved, That the distinguished and useful services of the deceased, in the various emi nent positions that lie has occupied, no less than his private worth, have rendered his name dear to to hearts of his countrymen.— Honest, us a man—just and able as a lawyer —wise and patriotic, as a statesman. We will not approach the grief and anguish of the widow and orphan. We leave them to the merciful protection of the Great Author of our Being, who in his wise but inscrutable providence has caused the bereavement, and to the consolations of thatreligion that brought life and immortality tolight; our warmest sym pathies arc with them in their affliction. Resolved, That we will wear the usual badge of mourning during the continuance of tlic session. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions, he sent to the family of the deceased, and also entered upon the journal of Senate. (Signed) Alexander Pope, Jr., Senator from Wilkes. F, 11. Cone, Senator from Greene. S. A. Wales, Senator from Muscogee. J. Duunagan, Senator from Ilall. Minis Wingfield, Senator from Putnam. After the adoption of the foregoing resolu tions, Messrs. Pope, Calhoun and Cone ad dressed the Senate, in touching allusions to their association with the deceased Senator. The House or Representatives. —The House met this morning at the hour of ten, and unanimously adopted the Resolutions of the Senate, in regard to a truly gifted, but departed member of their body. The remarks of Mr. Milledge were appropriate and affect ing. Having known the lion. Senator for many years, ho was able to portray his virtues in a just light, and to awake even in the breasts of strangers a sympathy that is felt for the noble, the gifted and generous alone. Mr. Thornton briefly, yet beautifully advert ed to the life of Mr. Miller. He spoke of his devotion to the cause of woman, and his zeal in efforts to promote the interests and happi ness of the females of Georgia, as a cardinal point in him whose voice is now hushed in death, and said that the presence of those ladies who had come out to offer to him a tribute of respect, was gratifying and proper—and that for the perpetuation of his memory, they should erect him a monument. The Flouse then adjourned until 10 o’clock to-morrow. Wednesday, Feb. G. House ut Representatives. —The Senate amendments to the General Appropriation bill were concurred in this morning. A hill to he entitled an act to provide for Attachments in certain cases, which was the special order of to-day, was, on motion, postponed until Tues day next, on account of the absence of some of its warmest friends. The bill to incorporate tlic Hh\ T assee Rail road Company was taken up, and elicited a very interesting, lengthy, and exciting debate between Mr. Smith, of Union, aylio offered it, and Mr. Pickett, of Gilmer, who is the cham pion of tlic opposition. Mr. Pickett moved to postpone the same in definitely, Avhich was lost by a vote of 13 yeas to 83 nays. He then off ered to amend by re serving to the State the right of repeal in the event that said charter should be likely to prove injurious to her interests— which was also lost—yeas 27, nays Go. The Avliole day lias been consumed in the consideration of amendments offered to this bill, mill avgunujiits thereon. No definite ac tion has yet been taken on the question of its passage. It is alleged by the opponents of the same that the result of its passage would be detrimental to the Railroad and sea port towns of Georgia, Avliilst it is regarded by its advocates as promising advantages to these interests. A resolution from tlic Senate by which a committee lias been appointed on the part of that House, to report a bill authorizing tiie con struction of a main trunk railroad from tlic Chattahoochee river to such poiut as may to them seem eligible, Avas to-day communicated to the House. The House adjourned until 7 o’clock, P. M., at which period, there will be another adjourn ment, iu order to alloAV a Mr. White from the Territory of Kansas, to deliver an address in this Hall. Astounding Poisoning Case in England. A most astounding ease of poisoning occu pies considerable space in public attention.— The circumstances are briefly these: l)r. Win. Palmer, a surgeon, but who made betting his profession—iu other words, a “sporting man,” avhs in company with a gentleman named Cooke, at Rugelcy, Staffordshire, settling up some gambling accounts, when Cooke, who had just drank a glass of liquor, suddenly be came sick, and exclaimed that Palmer had poisoned him. Cooke died next day, and Pal mer was arrested. A discovery that Palmer was indebted a large sum to Cooke, confirmed the suspicion against him, and it was then remembered that his (Palmer’s) wife hadsud denly died of symptoms similar to those that carried oft’ Cook. This led to further enquiry, Avhcn the astounding fact came gradually out that sixteen persons, all immediately connected Avith Palmer, among them his brother and his Avifo’s mother, had died suddenly within a very short time, and that on the lives of some of these persons lie had effected insurance, while Avith others he had betting transactions. Palmer had obtained an insurance upon tbe life of his wife for $13,000, and upon that of his brother f0r523.000. The most astounding incident of these developments is that Lord George Hentick (avlio, it will be remembered, died suddenly) had transactions Avith Palmer, and it is hoav believed that lie was poisoned.— The corpses of some of the supposed victims have been exhumed, and submitted to chemical research for traces of poison. Strychnine, or some other vegetable preparation, is supposed tolmvebeen the means employed. It is some what that the accused had a fast horse that figured conspicuously in his turf specula tions, and bore the name of Strychnine. ♦ The office ot sheriff of New Orleans was proved, in the recent contest, to be worth SIOO,OOO per annum. Mr. Speaker Banks’ Address. (rcndtmin of the House of Representatives: Before I proceed to complete my acceptance of the office to which 1 am elected, 1 avail my self of your indulgence toexpvess my acknowl edgments of the distinguished honor conferred upon me. It would afford me far greater pleasure, in tuking the chair of the House, were I suppor ted cvcu hy the self-assurance that I could bring to the discharge of its duties, always del icate and arduous, and now environed with unusual difficulties, any capacity commensu rate with their responsibility and dignity. I can say that, in so far as 1 am able, 1 shall dis charge the obligations resting upon me with fidelity to the constitution, and with impartial ity as it regards the rights of members of the House. 1 have no personal objects to accom plish. lam animated hy the single desire that 1 may aid in sonic degree in maintaining the well established principles of our government in their original and American signification ; in the development of the material interests of that portion of the continent we occupy, so far as we may do within the limited and legit imate powers conferred upon us; in enlarging and swelling the capacity of our government for beenficcnt influences at home and aboad ; and, above all, in preserving intact and in per petuity the priceless privileges transmitted to us. I am, of, course, aware that of my own strength I cannot hope to be equal to the per fect execution of the duties I now assume. I am, therefore, as every man must be who stands in such presence, a supplicant for your co-operation and indulgence; and accepting your honors with this declaration, 1 again offer you my thanks. From the Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Feb. 3. It is supposed that after the members shall be qualified, and the territorial delegates call ed, some difficulty will be raised upon the Kansas question, and perhaps also upon the Now Mexico and Nebraska contested seats.— To admit all will he one proposition, as the delegates have no vote ; but it is probable that the regularly returned delegates will, in such case, be admitted, and tlicir cases referred to the committee ou election. A number of members of the Southern Com mercial Convention, held last week at Rich mond, returned this morning. I gather from them the following matters of interest in re gard to their proceedings: The Hon. Air. R. Morris, of Richmond, Va., offered a series of resolutions, which was unan imously adopted, recommending the Southern States to abolish ail domestic license taxes upon foreign imported goods, so that such im ported goods might he introduced into the Southern States in fair competition with north ern manufactures. Also, recommending the southern people to educate their children in their own schools and colleges—using all southern manufactures in preference to north ern, whenever such articles can be had, and to patronize southern watering places instead of lavishing their money upon the north, where they are insulted and not unfrequently mobbed hy the free negroes. Col. Gwin, civil engineer, from N. Carolina, offered a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, recommending Congress to abolish or greatly modify the tariff upon railroad iron. Gen. Thomas J. Green, of Texas, offered a scries of resolutions, which were adopted with one dissenting vote, in favor of the Southern Texas railroad route to tlic Pacific coast, upon the line of thirty-two degrees of north latitude, crossing eight hundred miles through the State of Texas to El Paso, on the Rio Grande, and thence by Col. A. B. Gray’s survey to the junction of the Gila and Colorado rivers. This road is in active construction by the “Texas Western Railroad Company,” under the presi dency of Gov. F. M. Diamond, of Rhode Island. Many other resolutions were adopted of great importance to the South, and which will soon he published hy tlic general committee in pamphlet form. The convention adjourned to meet on the Bth day of December next at the city of Savannah, Georgia. Gen. Walker’s Early Love. We fiud tlic subjoined episode in the early life of the Nicaraguan hero in an exchange paper: The history of General Walker, like that of all other men of mark, is not free from the romance of love as well as that of war. Whilst a law student in New Orleans, he conceived a warm attachment for a very interesting young lady who was born deaf and dumb.— She had been well educated, and was of very engaging manners. Her misfortune drew to wards her the sympathies and regard of all tender-hearted persons. With his character istic originality and peculiarity of feeling and sentiment, Walker became warmly enamored of this young lady. She reciprocated liis re gard, and for some time they were never happy unless together, lie soon acquired a knowledge of her signs, and they conversed with great facility, the medium of their con versation, no doubt, adding zest to their en joyment. At last some slight misunderstand ing interrupted their intercourse, and before a reconciliation could be effected, the young lady died. This event gave a tinge of melan clioly to the thoughts and character of Walker. Perhaps, as many of his friends thought, it produced the great change in his character which ensued—a change from the quiet mod est student to the bold, daring, dauntless revolutionist and warrior. Strong Ice. One of the heavy Cindinnati steam fire en gines was taken over the Mississippi river on on the ice at St. Louis, on the2lstult. A bold teamster, of the city, named Meyer, undertook, for SIOO, to haul it across with a team of five horses. He gave a bond of SB,OOO to deliver her safely at the warehouse of Lyon, Shorb & Cos., in St. Louis, and accomplished the feat. ----- 4 Celebrating the Victory. The Republican head-quarters in Boston was brilliantly illuminated on Saturday even ing, in honor of the election of Mr. Banks as speaker, and a salute of 100 guns was fired Monday. An express was run on Saturday evening to Waltham by several gentlemen, to con gratulate Airs. Banks on her husband’s elec tion. “ Pap, 1 planted some potatoes in our gar den,” said one of the smart youths'of this gen eration to his father, “and what do you think came up ?” “Why potatoes of course.” “No sir-ee!
