COLUMBUS:
Friday Morning, February 1. *** 6,
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
No Mails—Wo News-
Yesterday we lii not get any Eastern pa
per* as late as due—those that came to hand
hsing stragglers or laggards from the mads of
the day previous. We were thus cut off from
our daily communication with the quarter troiu
which we usually receive the latest intelli
gence, and have therefore no news in our pa
per of this morning.
‘ ♦
Agricultural Periodicals.
We have received the February number of
the “Soil of the South,” published in this city
by Messrs. Lomax & Ellis, and the “American
Cotton Planter,” edited by Dr. N. li. Cloud,
of Locklaud, Ala. These are both interesting
and well-filled numbers, und are handsomely
gotten up. The very low price of these works
—sl each per annum—places them within the
reach of all; ami at this period, when her own
domestic policy, as well as the threatening as
pect of her Federal relations, admonishes the
Mouth of the necessity of diversifying her labor
and making herself independent of imported
productions, the circulation of such publica
tions ought to he widely extended. In teach
ing the capacities, encouraging the enterprise,
and developing the resources of the Southern
States, they are performing a great and im
portant work—they are advancing a policy
essential to our thrift and progress, and blaz
ing out the road to commercial and (if need
be) political independence.
Intelligence from Kansas.
We find in the Kufaula Southern Native a
letter written by Judge Cato to a friend, which
contains some intelligence of interest. Judge
C. writes that it is reported tlmt the freesoil
party in Kansas is divided into two factions—
the one desiring the admission of free negroes
into the Territory, and the other opposing the
introduction of all negroes, free or slaves. It
is reported that the latter party prefer the ad
mission of slaves to free negroes; and there
is a rumor that, if defeated, they will then
side with the pro-slavery men and advocate
the introduction of slaves as well as free per
sons of color. Each faction lms its own can
didate for Governor, to bo voted for at their
illegal election (in which the law and order
men will take no part)—Dr. Robertson being
the candidate of the free negro party, and a
man named Roberts the opponent of negroes
generally. Judge C. writes that the freesoil
ers will carry out their treasonable design of
installing anew Territorial or “Free State”
government, and he thinks that a collision be
tween it and the legal government of the Ter
ritory, in the course of the spring or summer,
is inevitable, lie urges Southern men to help
on the emigration parties of their neighbor
hoods, ami to relax no efforts to aid their
friends in Kansas.
Alabama Legislature.
The Montgomery Journal is exceedingly in
dignant at the course of the minority in the
Legislature on the question of burning the
State Bank notes. It charges that they are
speaking and inuuueuveriug “against time” in
order to kill the bill for burning this paper,
and that they design to stave off the question
until the close of the session, and thus defout
the will of the majority. The Journal is bit
terly opposed to the policy of State aid, to
carry out which the anti-burners wish to pre
serve the Bank notes; and it calls on the ma
jority to prolong the session—to camp out, if
necessary, on the hills round about Montgome
ry—and promises them that the people will
prepare tor them a barbecue every day. (A
very tempting otter, by the way !)
\V observe that on Tuesday the Senate pass
ed the burning bill to a third reading; and on
the same day, the House, alter a contest which
showed that the burners had a majority pres
ent, postponed the question until to-day. To
morrow is the day fixed upon for adjournment
whe die.
A series of impertinent anti-slavery resolu
tions, adopted by the Legislature of Vermont,
having been transmitted by the Governor to
the Legislature, that body, on Tuesday, refer
red them to n select committee, with the fol
lowing resolution offered by Mr. Davis, of
Benton:
Resolved, That the Governor be requested
to place iu the hands of liis negro boy Russel,
the resolutions received from the Governor of
Vermont, as relates to his message on Kansas,
and that the negro boy Russel be instructed to
veturn them with Ills utter contempt, of the
course pursued by the Vermont Legislature,
and that he, the said negro boy, will not con
descend to notice Vermont, or its Governor
any more, on the ground that the Vermont
Legislature has made him equal, if not supe- |
rior. to the white race iu that State.
Aid to Kansas Emigrants.
U will be seen that the bill to aid Southern
emigrants to Kansas was defeated in our Leg
islature on Monday. The party opposing it
did ho from no penurious spirit, or indifference
to the cause of the South, but because they did
not like to lead the way in this system of pop
ulating a Territory, and from motives of sec
tional policy. While we would have preferred
a different course—a course independent of
that of other States, and looking only to the
urgency of the case for its justification—we
would not have desired the passage of the bill
against the apprehensions or the scruples of a
large portion of the citizens and legislators of
the State. In the present peculiar aspect of
the question--when we arc informed by tele
graph that the President lias issued a procla
mation denouncing the emigration schemes ns
unlawful and inischicrous—it was, perhaps,
best to pause until the policy of the Adminis
tration is more fully disclosed. If the Federal
Government means to protect the just rights
of the South in thal Territory, State action
may not be required; and if it places on an
equality those who wish to emigrate for the,
purpose of sustaining law. and those who go
out to overthrow it by unlnwful and revolu
tionary acts, a knowledge of this fact will be
essential to prudent and effective State action
The proclamation and the course of the Exe
cutive are all-important in this emergency.
Exorbitant Prices-
Heel’ is now selling in this city, from the
market stalls, at 14 cents per lb., and Mutton
at 15 cents. Turkeys sell for. $1 to $1.50 a
piece, and other poultry in proportion. Deal
ers in cattle at a distance can judge from these
prices the kind of market they would find here
for their meats; and our friends in the coun
try round uhout will see that their poultry and
other produce will command prices much more
remunerative than cotton.
We are also informed that drovers from Ten
nessee and Kentucky are now asking and ob
tainin'} from $l5O to $225 apiece for farm
mules—the average price being about $175 !
What planter can long afford to buy mules at
these prices to raise cotton at 7 to U cents
."Great Cry and Little Wool.”
This oft-quoted exclamation of a notorious
personage, when he was clipping the bristles
| from a noisy quadruped considered “unclean”
and detestable by the dainty children of Abra
ham (but which is now so highly appreciated
as to bring 8 and U cents per pound in this
latitude), may sometimes he applied to the
efforts and professions of nations as well as
individuals. The Allied Powers of Europe ap
pear to have been engaged in a work very
similar to that of his fire-and-brimstoue Ma
jesty, when they promulgated to the world the
terms they had offered as an ultimatum to
Russia, and afterwards proclaimed her “un
conditional acceptance” of them. In the in
telligence brought by the Persia, we read the
following:
“ The acceptance of the Austrian proposi
tions has been published officially at St. Peters
burg. The announcement states that the chief
condition is the neutralization of the black
Sen, to be secured by a treaty between Rus
sia and Turkey, Russia being ready to discuss
(he other points.'’
Now, the demand in relation to the ltlack
Sea, which the Allies had caused to be pub
lished as one of the conditions of pence they
had tendered to Russia, was rendered thus:
”1L Neutralization of the Black Sea, by
closing it against all armed ships, opening it
to all merchant ships; nnvul arsenals being
neither constructed nor maintained. A naval
police to be maintained by Russia and Turkey
under a separate convention, but witli the
cognizance of the Powers.”
Every reader will at once see the material
difference between the Russian official state
ment of the proposition accepted by the Czar,
and that which the Allies at least permitted to
be published as their ultimatum. By the for
mer, Russia and Turkey will arrange between
themselves (as they have always done, the sea
being exclusively theirs) the navigation and
defences of the Black Sea, and no prohibition
of their “armed ships” or of “naval arsenals”
is hinted at. By the latter, the Allies dictate
the stipulations to be entered into, and forbid
the reconstruction of the Russian navy ami
defences. And if the wording of the proposi
tion is nevertheless such as at first stated to
be, it is clear that Russia in accepting it has
put upon it a construction wholly different
from that entertained by the Allies, and that
she has thus given no answer at all to their
vaunted demands.
Again: it will be seen that this Russian of
ficial announcement merely declares that the
Czar is “ready to discuss” the other points.
Perhaps they, too, may be entirely different
(or at least so construed by Russia) from the
demands published on behalf of the Allies.
The demand in reference to the boundary of
Russia on the Danube and the I'rutli (the only
other proposition involving any dispute) may
turn out to be as harmless and accommodating
a stipulation as the Russian understanding
makes that relating to the Black Sea. It will
be remembered that Nesselrode has long since
announced for Russia that she is ready and
willing to conclude with Turkey alone a treaty
in reference to the Black Sea and its defences;
that she not only acquiesces in but desires the
free navigation of the Danube: and that she
prefers a joint protectorate over the Christians
in Turkey to her own sole guardianship over
them. If the Allies really intend to require
no more than this, it would have been more
honest in them to have accepted her terms than
to have resorted to the intricacies and hum
bug of another Peace Conference to bring
about an arrangement so satisfactory to Rus
sia.
The Distance of the Sun from the Earth
Increasing.
Tiie German journals have given some tables
winch prove that the distance between the
earth and the sun is increasing annually, and
argue lrotn it that the increasing humidity of
our summers and the loss of fertility by the
earth, are to be attributed solely to this cir
cumstance.
I ‘ No credit has heretofore been given to traili
tions of ancient Egyptians and Chinese, accor
ding to which these people formerly said the
I sun s disc was almost lour times as largo as
j we now see it, for they estimated the apparent
I diameter ot the sun as double of what it is
I seen in our day.
If, however, we pay attention to the oontin-
I ue<l diminution ot the apparent diameter ot
I the sun, according to the best observation of
several centuries, we must suppose that the
ancients were not mistaken in the estimates
they have transmitted to us.
J In the course of six thousand years from the
I PVf. 9^ nt time, they assume that the distance
will be so great that only an Bth part of the
warmth we now enjoy from the sun will ho
communicated to the earth, and it will then he
j covered with eternal ice in the same manner ns
we now see the plains of the north, where the
elephant formerly lived, nod have neither
spring nor autumn.
Printing in the Wooda.
The Wisconsin Mirror is printed in the
woods. There is not a dwelling, except that
of the editor, within a half mile. The wild
foliage ot the forest looks over the office, and
wild game shy around it. Still, the editor is
in fine spirits, and expects a large village to
spring up. 6
A patent has been issued to Mr. 11. H.
ii tz, ot Lexington, Miss., for an improve
ment in cotton gins—consisting in giving the
cotton to be ginned a spiral motion in the feed
box, over the saws, so that it. the cotton is
made to pass from one end of the feed box to
the other, to present a fresh surface to the
action of the saws as it passes along ; also to
prevent the staple from being cut off bv the
saws. *

The “Main Trunk” Bail Bond.
REPORT OK TUJS COMMITTEE.
The Joint Committee to whom svas referred
the resolution of the General Assembly, in
structing them to report a bill having for its
object the construction of a main trunk Rail
way from some point at or near the Atlantic
coast to the Western limits of the State of
Georgia, have the satisfaction to state that
they have agreed upon a bill incorporating the
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Company, and beg
leave to report the same to the House of Rep
resentatives as directed in the resolution.
Your Committee have entered upon their
allotted task with a full consciousness of the
difficulties which surround them, but with a
firm conviction also, that a large majority of
the people of Georgia desire that the commu
nication from the Atlantic totlie Gulf, through
our Southern and Southwestern counties,
should be firmly established—so that amid all
the mutations of polities or of government,
the Commonwealth of Georgia may fully secure
the advantages which attach to her geographi
cal position.
To effect this great advantage to the country,
wc have also felt that a spirit of compromise
and of conciliation was necessary—for, the
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad will not only open
the shortest channel of communication between
the Atlantic and Gulf, thereby giving us con
trol of an almost incalculable commerce, but
will at the same siino develop and enrich a
large portion of our territory now lying waste
and valueless, and human nature would not be
what wc all felt that it is, if in the selection
of the route, local interests did not, to some
extent, find themselves in collision. Rut we
have sought in ourselves, and confidently ex
pect in this General Assembly, a spirit of pat
riotism, which will lift us above all mere per
sonal considerations, and enable us to co-ope
rate in a work which will enhance the power,
and develop the resources of the State of
Georgia.
Your Committee have divided the question
refered to them into two branches. First,
they have addressed themselves to the investi
gation of the most eligible route for a main
trunk railway; and secondly they have dis
cussed and sifted, to the utmost of their abili
ty, the various methods suggested, by which
the assistance of the State might be extended
to tho enterprise, and theresults of their delib
erations are with singular unanimity embodied
in tho bill now reported.
A slight sketch of the principles which have
guided them, seems to be required. First,
then, in selecting a route they have endeavored
to combine shortness of distance, with a due
regard to the development of Southern Geor
gia, together witli a general reference to the
various Railroad enterprises, within and with
out the State, whose co-operation may be
necessary to give full efficiency to our Main
Trunk.
Your Committee have therefore determined
to establish the Eastern terminus of the Road
at a point near the intersection of the County
lines of Appling, Ware and Wayne. This
point will be in round numbers, 80 miles, or
less, from Savannah, and 40 miles or less from
Brunswick, and will enable both those cities
to place themselves in communication with oui
initial point, quite as soon as any considerable
portioii of the Main Trunk can be brought into
working order.
From the point indicated, your Committee
propose that tlie Road, except so far as engin
eering difficulties may require a divergence,
shall proceed in a direct line to the Chattahoo
chee River, meeting said River at some point
between the junction of the Flint and Chatta
hoochee Rivers and Fort Gaines.
The Committee have thought it advisable to
allow tliis large latitude, because, in the survey
yet to be undertaken, motives for inclining to
one sidejor the other may present themselves,
of which we arc not now in possession ; and
because, also, the legislation of our sister
States of Florida and Alabama, and tlic pro
gress and prospects of their public works, may
have a material bearing on the selection of a
site for our Western terminus.
The Main Trunk will not exceed 180 miles
—and will pass through a country well suited
to Railroad construction, and abundantly sup
plied witli timber.
This branch of tlic question having been dis
posed of, your Committee then took into con
sideration the mode and measure of assistance
which the State might properly give to this
great enterprise.
They have sought in treating this question
to adhere as much as possible to safe prece
dents, and to avoid any startling innovation on
the practice of our predecessors.
Two modes then presented themselves totlie
Committee, the one that the State, in view of
the vast interests involved, and as a means of
increasing tlic wealth, and developing the re
sources ot Georgia, should at her own expense
build a great Southern trunk, as she had
already built the Western and Atlantic Rail
road—and the other that the State should sub
scribe in the stock of an incorporated company
an amount of stock less than one-half the cap
ital stock of said company.
The first proposition does not find favor with
us, for, although no one doubts that the expen
diture of the State in behalf of the Western
and Atlantic railroad has been more than re
turned to her in the enhanced value of proper
ty, iu the growth and prosperity of her cities,
and iu the more rapid diffusion of civilization
and intelligence, yet experience has shown
that many serious difficulties attend the carry
ing on of this branch of business directly by
the State.
Wc have, therefore, concluded to recommend
that certain gentlemen, known throughout the
State for their high character and attainments
should be appointed commissioners to receive
subscriptions of stock to the Atlantic and
Gult Railroad under the provisions recited in
the bill.
That so soon as six hundred thousand dollars
shall have been subscribed by buna jidesubscri
bers, then the Governor shall be authorized to
subscribe on the part of the State five hundred
thousand dollars, being in the proportion of
less than one half. The bill then provides
that immediately after this subscription lias
been made an election shall he rendered for
directors, and that an instalment not less than
20 per cent, shall be immediately called in,
and that the Governor shall not pay the instal
ments of the State until the private subscribers
ha\e all paid up theirs. The company will
then commence operations.
1 he bill farther provides that when the in
stalment is called for by the company, the
Governor shall first draw his warrant on the
treasury for the amount required, but that in
case of a deficiency existing in the treasury,
then and not otherwise the Governor shall is
sue bonds of the State of Georgia in like form
as has hitherto been practiced in this State.
The committee have endeavored to throw
every safe-guard around tlie hill now presented
and they heartily recommend its passage.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
l.'uiTcspoiulciico of tlic Savajiuah Journal.
Monday, Feb. 11.
Hoi sk oi'iUi'iinsK.NTATivKS— This morning
the House refused to reconsider the bill pass
ed oa Saturday, in reference to the public
printing. The Rill as passed, re-enacts the
law of 185*1 and 18,>4, with the following im
portant amendment: instead of fixing the com
pensation ol'printing by law, at the present
rates (and which it was alleged, are entirely
too high, under that law) it provides, that
after the work is thoroughly examined and
approved, the Governor shall appoint one or
more competent persons to fix the value ot the
printing, and it is to be paid for accordingly
—provided, in no event it shall exceed the
present rates. The bill, as passed, was one
offered by Mr. Lawton, of Chatham, as a sub
stitute for a bill reported by the Committee on
Printing, and which proposed to let out the
printing to the lowest bidder —and in my judg
ment was the best that could be done, with the
lights before the House.
On motion of Mr. Crook the bill to promote
the settlement of our territories was taken up
for consideration, and occupied the morning
session. The hill appropriates $50,000 to aid
emigration of Georgians to Kansas, when com
panies of not less than one hundred are pre
sented, the leaders of which arc to give bond,
&c., to the Governor, for the faithful disburse
ment of the money. After undergoing a very
interesting and animated discussion, participa
ted in by Messrs. Crook and Jones, and Smith
of Union, in favor of, and Messrs. Thornton,
Harris of Fulton, and Ward, against it, it was
lost by a vote of 42 to *l2. The gentlemen
who opposed the bill predicated their opposi
tion upon the ground that it was not wise pol
icy for Georgia, as a State, hy legislative en
actment, to be the first to aid in populating,
with pro-slavery voters, Kansas; that the mat
ter had better be left to the enterprise and
support of private companies.
The evening session was devoted to the pas
sage of some bills of a local character —one
incorporating a bank in Rome, to be called the
“Empire State.” .
Mr. Jones, of Muscogee, as chairman of the
special committee, reported a Rill to incorpo
rate a company to be styled “The Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad Company,” to build a main
trunk railway about the junction of Ware.
Wayne and Appling counties to some point on
the Chattahoochee, between Fort Gaines and
the junction of tlic Flint and Chattahoochee.
[IVo copy this report in full, in another col
umn.]
The House also passed a hill (of the Senate)
creating anew county from Lee and Randolph,
to be called Terrell. A bill allowing and di
recting Ordinaries to pay the accounts of
teachers of poor cnildren who have failed to
be returned by the proper authorities, was
laid over as unfinished business till to-morrow.
Senate. —The joint committee, raised un
der Mr. Spalding’s resolution, made their re
port upon the subject of a Main Trunk Rail
Road. The committee were unanimous in
their report.
After transacting other business (of which
we have no report), the Senate took up and
passed the bill in relation to the limitation of
estates. It provides that where, by any sn
instrnment in writing made after the passing
of this Act, property either real or personal
shall be given, devised and bequeathed or con
voyed to any person during his or her life,
such person shall take a life estate only in
uch property. That when said property, af
ter the death of the person to whom the life
estate is given as aforesaid, is limited, given
and devised, bequeathed or conveyed to the
lioir or heirs of such person, or to the heir of
the body or the heirs of the body, or the issue
of such person, or by any other terms that de
note and designate tho lineal descemlents of
such person, the property so limited devised,
bequeathed, governed or conveyed, shall go to
and belong to such persons, as would be enti
tled to the same, had the person to whom the
life estate is given as aforesaid been the abso
lute owner of the property and died intestate.
Curious Property of Water Divested of Air.
In a lecture recently delivered before the
ltoyal Cornwall Polytechnic Society by Robt.
Hunt, F. I!. S., attention was directed to sonic
remarkable points in connection with the ac
tion of beat on water that contained no air,
stating that arising from this circumstance, as
well as from the spherical condition of the
steam generated, we have two very active and
predisposing causes of boiler explosions. Wa
ter we know in three conditions—us a fluid, as
steam, and as ice—or as solid, liquid, and
uniform. Water is frozen by the loss, of heat
necessary to maintain its fluid state: ice form
ed during agitation contains no air bubbles;
but under ordinary circumstances (as Wen
ham Lake ice) the upper portion is filled with
air bubbles in straight lines, as if in endeav
oring to make their escape they became en
tangled among the crystals. It-is a remarka
ble fact, that water in the process of congela
tion lias the power of rejecting everything:
consequently, all the air the water contains is
expressed, lfwegetwaterthatcontains noair
and prevent the access of air to it, it will not
boil at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. In this state
we see the temperature increasing to 280, 2-K)
or 250 degrees, and advancing between 270
and 280 degrees. About these points the
whole mass will explode with the violence
ot gunpowder. This condition of water is not
unfrcquently found formed in steam boilers,
and that during the process of ebullition, the
steam carries off with it the air, the water in
the boiler containing very little remnant of air
itself.
It often happens that a steamboilor explo
sion occurs after a rest of the engine, and
when the men returned, tlio feed-water being
applied to the water, explosion takes place.—
Professor Donne lias found that if wc take
water ol this peculiar character, bringing it
up to 280 degress, and place a single drop of
ordinary water into it, the whole will boil witli
extreme violence. Supposing that ordinary
water contains no air, and the feed-water is
turned on, the entire quantity will then burst
into explosive ebullition. \Vc shall probably
find, therefore, in connection with boiler ex
plosions, that to the absence of air may be at
tributed many boiler explosions so frequently
happening, which otherwise cannot possibly
he accounted for.
it may be further stated, that if wc take a
glass ot water and add any poison—say corro
sive sublimate, or a strong acid, or even an
ardent spirit—and then freeze the water agi
tated during the process, we shall find the fee
gets tasteless, colorless, and inert, and that the
poison, the acid, or the spirit, will be gathered
into an intense drop in the centre of the ice.
and all the body will lie perfectly pure. To a
knowledge of this fact may lie attributed the
practice of the Russian nobles, who, when
they desired to have more ardent and intoxica
ting drink than usual, plunged their bottles of
wine or spirits into their frozen rivers, until
the contents became solidified, and then drank
the ardent drop which remained within the
centre of the glass.— Scientific American.
