COX.TT MBITS: Thuriday Morning, February 14, 13- LARUEII’ CITY CIRCULATION. ___ 0„r river is again falling slowly, but is still at a fair navigable stage. The steamer 0. Stokes arrived early on Tuesday nig Hon. Cave Johnson, president of the llank „f Tennessee, denies the statement, which had been made through the newspapers, that the directors of that Hank have resolved not to permit any Know Nothing to hold one of its offices. ‘j'jio International Commission appointed to survey the Isthmus of Sue;., with a view to the locating of a route for a ship canal connecting the waters of tholtod Sea ami the Mediterra nean, have reported the discovery and survey of a practicable route, and estimate the cost at £8,000,000. Thu new British steamship Persia—-which was so loudly heralded in advance as being probably the fastest, as well as the largest of the steamers —was fourteen days making the trip from Liverpool to New \ ork. She en countered rough woathor, however, audit isyet possible that under favorable circumstances she may realize the expectations of those who calculate so strongly on her speed. Injury to “Wheat Crops. It is the general impression among the farmers, so far as we can learn, says the Loui nft Eagle, that the wheat crop in this section has been very seriously injured by the intense cold weather; in fact, wo are led to believe that the crop will bo almost entirely cut off. Liquor Prohibition. The Tennessee Legislature has passed an act repealing the law allowing the retailing of li quor in that State. The act repealed was an amendment of a former prohibitory law, and provided for licenses to retail in quantities loss thnn a quart. Tho effect of the act just pass ed, therefore, will bo to rescind tho amend ment allowing licenses, and to leave in force the original clause of the law prohibiting re tailing. In tho Legislature of Alabama, a perplexing question is the disposition of the bills ot the old State Dank and its branches, now in the Treasury. Tho amount on hand, we believe, is some SBOO,OOO, and there is a party in the Legislature which contends that tho State has no right to ro-issuo them—although it lias of ten done so heretofore. Others wish them burnt for the purpose of winding up the Dank H 8 soon as possible and driving in from circu lation an irredeemable currency. Dut bills have been passed to loan largo sums to sever al Railroad companies, and without tho re issue of these notes the State has not the funds on hand to make the loans, and will be com pelled to resort to a loan or repeal the bills passed. The question elicits considerable discussion and Home excitement, and is con nected, in some wuy, with all the loan or ap propriation bills of tho session. The Western Rivers. Tho Arkansas river has not yet risen suffi eicutly to allow the boats that wore blockaded in it last spring and summer by sand-bars to resumo their trips. Tho New Orleans papers report that there are seven or eight steamers near one plnce on the river, some of which have been detained thoro by low water for eight or nine months past. Navigation on the Red and Ouachita rivers has boon very par tial, and so far wholly inadequate to their bus iness. The Ouachita was frozen ovor at Cam den in January, and persons crossed on the ice. At the last accounts, tho Texas rivers were rising. At St. Louis, on tho 7th inst., the expectation was that at least two weeks of moderate weather would bo required to free the Mississippi of ice sufficiently to allow nav igation to that city, The receipts of cotton at New Orleans, at the dato of our latest re ports, were light, and the shipments very heavy. The Bank of the Interior. The special committo appointed by tho Le gislature to examine the condition and stand ing of this Hank, located at Griffin, have made two reports—the majority report recommend ing that its charter be declared forfeited, and the minority denying that tho circumstances and proof warrant such a proceeding. It is shown that tho stock of this Dank is owned, like that of the Atlanta Bank, almost exclusively by George Smith, of Illinois, and that of tho few remaining stockholders two are the President and Cashier of the institu tion, and two others the President and Cashier of tho Atlanta Dank. The act of incorpora tion provides that “should this charter bo dis posed of to un individual in this State, or an individual or company out of the State, the same shall he forfeited, and the Governor shall issue his proclamation to that effect.” The majority of the committee contend that the only way in which a charter may be disposed of is by transferring nnd disposing of the stock; and they therefore think that tho ownership of almost the ontire stock by a non-resident, and his complete control of the Dank, work n for feiture of tho charter. They also doubt whether the three or four resident stockhold ers are bona fide owners of tho stock subscrib ed for in their names, or only hold for the ben efit of Smith. The minority deny that the subscription for the stock is n disposition of the charter, and say it can be proved that the Georgia stockholders are bona fide owners of the stock subscribed for by them. The majority give reasons for believing that the nniount required to be paid in specie, be fore tho Dnnk could commence operations, was not so paid, and they believe that this can ho proved in a court of justice. But the minori ty contend that it can be proved by witnesses of the first respectability that the required amount was paid in specie. F. H. Cone, J. P. Screven, and William P. Beasley, nro the majority of the investigating committee; and James M. Calhoun and C. B. Wellborn the minority. The Legislature ha* not yet acted upon these report* Another Congressional Snarl. The House of Representatives is re-enact ing, in the attempts to elect a Printer, the proceedings anterior to the election ot a Spea ker. Tho three prominent candidates are O. Follett, of Ohio, Republican ; Cornelius Wen dell, of New York, Democrat; and R. Farn hain, of Washington, Know-Nothing. The vote for each of these candidates is less than that given by his party for Speaker, as there are more scattering votes; hut the general division of the House is nearly the same, and an inspection of the vote docs not give any more promising indication of a speedy election than did the early ballotings for Speaker. — This election, however, is not pre-requisite to the transaction of business, and the House can and docs drop and resume the matter at pleasure. - - Refugees from European Tyranny. A London paper, in an article upon the pol itics of the United States, ascribes the restless ness and turbulence which it thinks proper to impute to our population, to the fact that so i many political refugees from Europe arc among us. It says that “adventurers of every description—-French Socialists and Jacobins, Italians, Red Republicans, Hungarians and Poles, driven into frantic hatred of all govern ment by Austrian or Russian tyranny” —find hero a homo and a chance to rise in tho social ami political scale. This it is useless to dis pute ; but the cool assurance with which the English writer ascribes their exile from Eu rope to “Austrian and Russian tyranny” is really laughable. Wc venture the assertion that three-fourths of the Europeans who have come to this country as a refuge from politi cal or social tyranny came hither from Great Britain and her beloved ally, France, and that the proportion Hying from Russian tyranny is so small that very few of our people can name a single one. The English paper quoted fur ther says that these refugees, while among us, are working continually “not to benefit their friends in America, but to avenge themselves on their enemies in Europe.” This being true, Great Britain and France would he apt to find, in the event of a difficulty with us, that there are some refugees among us who know some thing of French and British tyranny, nnd who will not be laggards in avenging the wrongs of themselves and their countrymen. Political- Wc observe that the Whigs of New Hamp shire are moving for the re-organization of the Whig party, and a State Convention has been called to promote it. A writer in the Louis ville Courier proposes to the AV'higs of Ken tucky to bold ft Convention nt Lexington on the 12th of April next, the birth-day of Henry Clay, to take measures to secure an effective organization. It is quite evident, we think, that the present divisions of parties will not remain unbroken until the Presidential elec tion, but that there are issues and combina tions ahead which will override the incongru ous organizations at present feebly kept up. The Know-Nothings will “open the ball” next week, by the meeting of their National Council at Philadelphia on the 18tli, and their National Convention in the same city on the 22d. Most of the Southern delegates to the latter body are instructed to oppose a nomi nation of candidates fov the Presidency and Vice Presidency at that time, and to insist on a postponement until May or June. Whether nominations are made or postponed, the re union of the Northern nnd Southern wings of the Order, or their renewed quarrel and dis ruption, as the case may be, will be a signifi cant aud important event. Wehave no part nor lot in these or any other party squabbles, but wc intend that our Sun shall shine impartially upon all alike, and throw its light upon politicians of every hue. Those who wish accurate and early intelligence of all political movements should “book” them selves at onoe for one of its rays, and thereafter grope about no more in darkness and error. From the Londou Time*, Jim. 10. Dr. Kane’s Arctic Expedition. To the Editor of the Times : Sir—Dr. Kane's official despatches, with the chart of the Arctic discoveries, are now before tho public. As 1 apprehended, they clear away all the obscurity contained in the news paper accounts, and unquestionably place Dr. Kane in the foremost rank of Arctic explorers. Had he heard the hearty cheer which, at the suggestion of the Hydographcr, was raised to his honor last night in the rooms of the Geo graphical Society by the crowded audience who heard his modest yet extraordinary nar rative, he would, 1 am sure, have been highly gratified. Having heard from ■friends in the United States that a letter ot mine in your columns has had the effect of leading to an erroneous idea that l>r. Kane’s arduous ami heroic un dertaking was not duly appreciated in this country, 1 shall feci greatly obliged by the pub lication of this communication, which I trust will have tho effect of assuring the gallant doctor that ho is highly esteemed and admired by all who take an interest in Arctic explora tion. 1 may be permitted to add au interesting fact which does not appear in his official des patch to the Admiralty, but which he commu nicates in n letter to a friend. It is that, al though the temperature at the winter quarters of the expedition was colder than has ever been experienced in the Arctic regions, that of the open water to the north was compara tively very high, and a great variety of ani mal lifo was seen, including whales and plant eating birds. I am, sir, your obedient, C. B. WELD. Sommerset-house, Jan. 15. The North and the South. It is noted as a remarkable fact that the election of Mr. Banks as Speaker of the Na tional House of Representatives completes the following results: The President of the United States, the Speaker of the House, the Presi dent of the Senate, tho head of the Cabinet and the occupant of our most important diplo matic post, tho Minister to England, arc all Northern men. General Pierce and Mr. Banks are from New England, Mr. Marcy and Mr. Buchanan from the Middle States, and Mr. Bright from Indiana. An Attempt to Assassinate. New Ohi.ba.ns, Feb. 11. Au attempt was last night made to assassin ate Dennis Corcorau, one of the editors of the Delta. He is badly injured, but will probably recover. Later from California. New Orleans, Feb. 11. The sterna ship Prometheus has arrived at this port to-day from Sau Juau, with advices to the sth inst., and from San 1’ rancisco to the 21st ult. The Northern Light sailed from San Juau on the sth inst. for New I ork, with $350,000 in specie. The advices from Cali fornia arc unimportant. The agricultural ac counts were better, and those from the mines encouraging. The jury in the Cora case had disagreed, and :i new trial would probably soon take place. The Legislature had some trou ble in electing a United States Senator. Sev eral prominent candidates had withdrawn for the purpose of harmonizing affairs, and tiic American party had brought forward anew man. The barque Isabella Hayne was wrecked on the Bth ult., and the vessel and cargo wore a total loss. The captain audinato were drown- ed. More lighting had taken place at Walla- Walla, and the United States troops had twen ty-three killed and wounded. Nicaragua was quiet, and had suspended relations with Mr. Wheeler, United States Minister. The markets at San Francisco were unchanged. The Pacific. Washington, Feb. 11. The Secretary of the Navy lias authorized the steam brig Arctic, Lieut, llartstcne, to go in search of the Pacific, and she will leave New York to-day if the stores are on board. Presidential Proclamation. Washington, Feb. 11. The President lias issued a proclamation, stating that the Kansas Associations forming in remote States, will interfere with the do mestic institutions of the Territory, and de claring that the whole power of the General Government will be exerted to support the territorial law and suppress revolutionary movements. Congressional. Washington, Feb. 11. In the United States Senate to-day no im portant business was transacted. The House had three unsuccessful ballots fov Printer. . ♦ Hon. James Buchanan and the Presidency. The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian gives the following extract from a private letter from the Hon. James Buchanan to a gentleman of that city: “You refer to the connection of my name with the Presidency. * * “ This I neither desire nor expected. Tho move ment in my favor has, therefore, originated without my previous knowledge or consent, and 1 should be quite satisfied should another be selected. “The next will be the most important and responsible Presidential term since the last war with England or perhaps since the origin of the government. Roth our foreign and do mestic affairs will require the guidance of an able, firm and skillful pilot to steer the vessel of State clear of the breakers. I pray Heaven that the best man may be selected for the crisis, and to me it is a matter of indifference whether lie comes from the North or the South, the East or the West. CoiTcsjioncli'Uie of the Charleston Courier. Washington, Feb. 7. Both Houses of Congress have adjourned over to Monday. The House will not resume the balloting for Printer, but the different par ties to the question will have time for consul tation before Monday, and perhaps be prepar ed for some combination by which an election can be effected. The Republicans may uuite, or the National Americans and Democrats may combine. The resolutions which were offered some weeks ago, in the caucus of democratic Sena tors, by Mr. Iverson, of Georgia, and which presented what is called the Georgia Platform, in relation to slavery, were taken up in cau cus, a day or two ago, and after some consid eration, were postponed. It was urged in op position to their adoption at present, that they would prejudice the democratic cause in the elections in New Hampshire and Rhode Island, and other Eastern States, and further, that the Cincinnati Convention would adopt a platform for the national democracy. The Speaker has been authorized to appoint the Standing Committees, as is usual. The most important committees, in refer ence to present sectional questions, are the Committees on Elections, Territories, Judicia ry, and the District of Columbia. These, it is supposed, will be so organized as to promote slavery agitation, although the House resolv ed, by a majority of one, that any agitation of the subject, in or out of the House, was preju dicial to the public interests, and ought to be avoided. Mr. Biddings has been a minority member of the Committee on the District of Columbia for some time, and it is apprehended that he will now he appointed Chairman of the Com mittee, with a majority in favorof his peculiar views. The Committee on Finance is one of more than usual importance ut present, for the rea son that it will be charged with the subject of a revision ot the Tariff, which is strongly urg ed by the administration. The Speaker is, himself, in favor of the treasury project for “the reduction of the rate of duties, and it is said that he will so form the committee as to promote that object. The legislation of the House, and, indeed, i of both Houses, will be directed towards the | interests of the several parties to the Fresidcu ; tial election. No political legislation can be consummated, | because the Senate aud House will hold each other in chock. But there will'be an ample field lor political speeches, and that is what is chiefly desired by many of the politicians. Tho Judiciary Committee of the House will re port a bill for tho modification of the natural ization laws; and the Americans, of both wings of that party, will urge its adoption, with no idea of success, but as nu excellent theme for Buncumbe. The American Convention is to meet on the 22d of this month in Philadelphia. The at tendcndance may be full, and, if so, the oppo nents of Georgia Law, as their candidate for the Presidency, will postpone the nomination till tho 4th of July. Almost all the Northern delegates are said to be in favor of George Law. Others, including tho Southern Ameri cans, are for John Bell, John J. Crittenden or Millard Fillmore. Iron for the Gulf Rail Road Lost. The Liverpool papers bring intelligence of the loss, on the 9th ult, off Cape Clear, of the American bark Olivia, Spall, of New York, from Cardiff, for Savannah, with iron for the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad. The Democrats ofMerrimac county, N. 11., held un immense mass meeting at Concord, on Thursday afternoon. Specifies jej'e made by Messrs, Weller, of California, Orr, of Somi. t atoiina, Lane, of Oregon, Cobb, of Georgia, JolmS. Wells, ami other* RejoiciiV? in Massachusetts over the Elec tion of Banks for Spealter. Mr. Banks’ friends were jubilant in Waltham, bis place of residence, says the Boston Post, when the news of his election was received on Saturday. A party of young men ran through the main street, shoutiug: “ Wake up!wake up ; our Nat’s elected Speaker ! Hurrah 1 hurrah !” Shortly afterwards the bells were set to ringing, and guns w ere tired : and there appeared to be general congratulation among the citizens that their town had boon so highly honored. Mrs. Banks illuminated her house, but dismissed those who called to congratulate her, by informing them that she was attend ing upon her sick mother. At the residence of his parents the crowd gave nine cheers. — Rev. Mr. Foster was called out in his night shirt; quoted Shakespeare; said he saw the outstretched arm of Almighty power staying the tide of oppression, apd the “old fireship of | slavery stranded on the firm Ranks of Massa chusetts ;” and fancied also that he saw Ranks stiffening’ the backbone ot the North. In Boston, at noon, on Monday, a salute of 103 guns—the number of votes Mr. Ranks i received —was fired in houor of tho victory.— At Charlestown the Bunker llill Republican Club illuminated all the windows of their head quarters. We notice that one of tho London papers, said to be high in the confidence of a leading member of the British Cabinet, calls loudly upon Denmark to join in enforcing the terms ! of the allies upon Russia, so that Europe may I he at jieacc, and free to take action for com j polling the United States to recede from her position in reference to the Sound Dues, and force her to accede to the policy, in that res pect, to be agreed upon by a European con ference. The evident inference, from the tone of the British ministerial journals, is that the I allies, were their hands untied by the necessi ties of the contest in which they are engaged, would bo quite willing to take upon themselves the regulation and settlement of other mat ters, in which the United States appears as a party ; and yet, with such givings-out, official, semi-official and popular, the British press affects surprise at tho cold, if not unfriendly tone manifested by the people of this country towards the Western alliance, in its efforts to humble the pride of Russia and to establish for itself a virtual dictatorship in European af fairs, with an ultimate extension of such dic tatorial spirit to matters involving tho rights and interests of the United States.— Wilmington Journal. Senator Douglas in Washington. The Union of Saturday morning last, says: “It is with great satisfaction that we announce this morning that Hon. S. A. Douglas, who has been so long detained on his way to Hie seat of government by a violent and protract ed inflammation of the throat, arrived in this city yesterday morning. He is in much better health and spirits than his numerous friends here expected or hoped for; and we sincerely trust that it will not be many days before he will be able to return to the scone of his dis tinguished labors and distinguished triumphs in all bis wonted vigor of mind and body.” Virginia Legislature. On Wednesday, the 6tli inst., the Legisla ture elected the following State officers: Secretary of State, George W. Muuford: Treasurer, John S. Calvert; Auditor of Pub lic Accounts, George W. Clutter ; Second Audi tor, William A. Moncurc; Register of Land Office, S. 11. Parker; Public Printer, William F. Ritchie; Superintendent of Penitentiary, Charles S. Morgan: Agent of Penitentiary at Petersburg, James C. Spotts. Tennessee Railroads. From the report of the Rail Road Commis sioner we learn” that there are in Tennessee 1,611 miles of Railroad in process of construc tion and 451 miles finished. State aid by the loan of State bonds has been granted to 22 dif ferent roads to the amount of $17,278,000, and State aid received already to the amount of $5,057,000. The total cost of all the roads when completed is estimated at $35,000,000 —move than double the State’s liability. By the terms of the aid granted the roads, the State retains a first mortgage upon them and they pay the interest on bonds issued for their benefit. Governor Melton, of Mississippi, in his mes sage to the Legislature, gives a flattering ac count of tho progress being made in the rail roads of his State, and in Louisiana. He re marks that the New Orleans, Jackson (Miss.) and Great Northern Railroad is completed and in successful running operation to Osyka on the State line, a distance of 88 miles from N. Orleans. The grading has been completed to Brookhaven, a distance of 38 miles from Osy ka. The distance from Osyka to Jackson is !)• miles. The road from Jackson to Canton will be completed in February. The road is graded 20 miles in Monroe county. This road forms one of the most important lines through the State, and its connections with other roads render it one of the important lines in the U. States. The Texas Debt Bill, which has passed the Legislature of that State, distributes about seven millions of dollars from the United States Treasury, to those who hold claims against Texas. One-third of these claims are held in j Philadelphia, one-third in New York, and the j remainder in various other cities. Some of | these claims were bought very low, and the ; profit realized will be large. I , j The Supreme Court of the United States has | in three different instances decided that the J ordinance of 1787 was superseded by the C'on | stitution. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Juck ! son, Polk, Taylor, Calhoun, Clayton, and in j fact nearly all our leading statesmen, were of the same opinion. Mr. Clay, in bis speech of 1820, against the Missouri Compromise, said: “ Under the Constitution, no restriction can be placed upon anew State, asking for ad mission into the Union, that was not placed upon the old thirteen States. Every State ad mitted into the Unionmust stand, in all things, upon an equality with the old States. Con gress cannot place upon new State, or upon any Territory that may’ hereafter apply for admission as a State, any restriction that will attach to the State or her people, after it is admitted into the Union ; for, when admitted, each State and her people must have all the : rights of the pre-existing States. Each State, and the people thereof, have the right to de termine for themselves whether slavery shall or shall not exist within her borders. Such a restriction as this, is an act of gross injustice to the people who, in after years, may inhab it the Territory north of :ho proposed line: is an act unauthorized by the Constitution of the United States.”— Bridgeport Fanner. The patent fees to be paid to tho United States are as follows : If a citizen of the U.
