COX. IT MBITS: I
Tim-winy Morning, February I, 1 Ss ' l,
l/AKUKMT CITY ClttCl'LATlOS’
Action of the Supreme Court.
We learn by a telegraphic dispatch from j
Macon, received in this city yesterday, that the
Supreme Court has affirmed the. action ol the
Superior Court refusing an injunction to re
strain the City Council from transferring Mus
cogee Railroad stock to Messrs, ratten and
.Mustian, and recognizing the right of the city
to make the sale. Wc presume, therefore,
that the “impediment will nolonger he plead
in bar of the'fulfilment of the contract.
Our fail* correspondent “bora billon sends
us ft bright little poetic gem, which wc publish
to-<lay. We shall always make loom, with
pleasure, for each poetry as she can write, and
we trust that she will occasionally contribute
some of the bright spots oil our Sun's di
The Woather and the River.
We have another “cold simp,'’ brought on
by ft stiff North-wester which prevailed on
Sunday and yesterday. There was a very
heavy frost and some ice yesterday morning;
ami if vegetation bad been started by the few
precoding <lays of moderate and fuir weather,
it was admonished that winter yet “lingered
in the lap of spring” and would nip in the buil
any germ f/rten enough to venture out thus
early.
Our river is again at a loir navigable stage,
and is falling. The steamer Oswichee arrived
mi Sunday morning with an assorted cargo,
and departed to landings below for the purpose
of bringing up cotton to this place.
“No tidings of the Pacific” cornea telegraph
ed to us in connection with the Canada's news.
We take this occasion, however, to repeat
I hat while uneasiness and anxiety ns to her
fate prevails at New York (wlievo her owners
and those most interested in her fate reside),
there is no great alarm for tiic safety of her
passengers yet. The Pacific is divided into
water-tight compartments, and could not,
therefore, ho easily stove in and sunk as the
\ retie was, nor lost by collision with the ice,
unless crushed between two massive bergs—a
disaster which a steamer could probably avoid.
The bouse of Dr. M. Troy, in Cahaba, Ala.,
was destroyed by fire on the Pth inst. His
loss was three or four thousand dollars, with
out insurance. Itcv. Mr. Cushman, Episcopal
clergyman of the town, had a rOom in Dr.
Troy’s house, and lost everything except the
clothes lie had on and lii.s watch. His library
and other valuables destroyed were estimated
to be worth two thousand dollars. His friends
at once set about making up a sum to cover
Lis loss. The Gazette says that there was an
artesian well within ten feet of the house,
throwing out 50 or 100 gallons of water per
minute: but there is no fire engine in the
town.
The “ Irish filibusters,” recently arrested
and tried at the instigation of the British Con
sul, were waited upon by a great crowd of the
Irish residents of Cincinnati on the night of
the 7th inst. Stirring speeches were made on
the occasion, and it was proclaimed l>v one of
the speakers that one hundred thousand “Irish
Amerienn bayonets” were promised for the
conquest of Ireland, in the event of a war be
tween Great Britain and the United States.
Let it be remembered, in this connection, that
the London Times asserts that the filibustering
spirit iu this country is gotten up and encour
aged by refugees from Auxtrian and Russian
tyrauny.
The “Main Trunk Railway”
is now the most important measure pending
in our Legislature, and it is to be regretted that
so little time lias been allowed for its calm
and careful consideration. While there is a
general sentiment that the State uuyht to aid a
measure designed to advance the commercial
interest and augment the value of real estate
throughout Southern Georgia, there is a diver
sity of opinion ns to the prospects of this bill.
Unhappy local differences have so fur alienated
the several sections contending for the termini,
that it is not even considered certain that the
respective friends of these rival locations will
unite in support of the hill; and when united,
they may not be able to secure a majority.
Wc trust that the enterprise is upt destined to
live alone on “hope deferred” until another
session, but that the present Legislature, bc-
Inre its adjournment, will do justice to the
only portion of the State yet unimproved by
Railroads.
Substitution for the Pacific.
Tlte steamship Quaker City, late of the
charleston and Philadelphia line, has been
chartered by the Messrs Collins & Cos. to take
out the foreign mails and passengers, in plnoe
“f the missing steamer Pacific. She will sail
for Liverpool to-day.
Mr. J. Bresh, of Enterprise, East Florida,
has sent the Charleston Courier a sweet potato
weighing twenty-six pounds! Competitors in
the potato line may ns well cease their efforts
after this. The root has been fully developed.
A proposition has been made in Savannah
that the city subscribe for $500,000 worth of
stock in the Savannah Valley Railroad, and at
a meeting held on Saturday night the question
was referred to a committee of thirteen, who
are to report to a future meeting.
A Centre Shot.
A correspondent of the Southern Christian
idvocate, writing from Cardenas. Cuba, nims
this well-directed shot at the abolition hypo
crites who have their agents there, ns well as
in every other place where they can reap the
profits of slave labor:
“One fourth of the sugar crop is shipped
from this port. Here you find Massachusetts
and Maine merchants buying up the “ slave
molasses” and shipping it to Boston and Port
land, to be manufactured by our sauctimouious
Vankee brethren, into pure New England Rum,
and sold to Southern heathens for “slave mon
ey.” This is consistency for you.”
And we may add that the purchase of it by *
Southerners is folly for you

The Committees.
Besides the Committees on Wiiysnnd Means,
on Elections, on Territories, and on Foreign
Affairs, (which wc have already published in

Alabama Legislature-
This body adjourned fine die on the 10th inst.
The session lias been a, very interesting one,
as matters of much importance hlive engaged
its attention. Among the proposed measures
of general interest which have failed, we may
mention the proposition to burn the bills of the
old State Bank ami Branches, the bill to mod
ify the Usury laws, the bill to aid emigrants to
Kansas, and (we believe) the resolution calling
a State Convention to amend the Constitution.
We have seen it stilted that the Governor's ve
toes li it mbe red in all about one hundred, but
most of the bills vetoed were passed notwith
standing his objections. There were, howev
er, a large number of bills, Sc., passed during
the last day or two of the session, and to
many of these he may refuse his signature, as
he has manifested an uncompromising opposi
tion to all legislation conflicting with his gen
eral notions of private rights and with Iris
views of the kind of local legislation that
should be left to the Courts.
Wc think that the loans of $500,000 to the
Charleston and Memphis Railroad, 5200,000
to the Alabama and Tennessee Railroad,
$150,000 to the Alabama and Mississippi Rail
road, and the extension of the $400,000 loan
to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, are all the
measures of “State aid” that were passed ;
and each of those hills was vetoed by the Gov
ernor, but re-passed by the Legislature. The
Montgomery .Journal—which lias bitterly op
posed “State aid” throughout the sessiou—
suggests that the Governor may yet defeat
these loans by refusing to carry out the Leg
islative intention, on the ground that a reissue
of the old State Hank notes is unconstitutional.
It says that “high legal authority” has so pro
nounced tlieir re-issue, and that “ the people
look to the Executive” to prevent it.
The American paper in Nicaragua asserts
that the Coffee raised on the high lands of Ni
caragua and Costa Riea is unsurpassed for
strength, and has a delicate aromatic flavor
unknown to the East. It thinks that the cul
tivation of coffee will undoubtedly engage the
attention of many of the colonists, and that it
will be highly successful.

It is stated that the vessels composing the
British fleet in the Sen of Azoff have been
much injured by the operations ol’ a large and
destructive sea-worm peculiar to those waters.
Many of the vessels not being copper-sheathed

through them in their exposed parts, and rid
dled their sides os if with auger holes.

Sale of Negroes—High Trices.
A sale of negroes took place in Quincy, Fla.,
on Monday last, at which prices were paid in
no degree indicative of the “hard times” so
much croaked about in certain circles. ’The
first lot sold consisted of fifteen, the bulk of
whom were adults. They brought, in cash,
$12’,260, being an average of $Bl7 each. One
fellow, a field-hand, brought $1,315 —another
field hand, $l,lOO. Another lot, numberiug
sixty-live, of all ages, sizes and sexes, avcrn,r
ed $7-10 each. These were sold on a credit of
oue, two and three years, with 8 per cent, in
terest. and brought the handsome sum 0f543,-
900. Some of them were knocked off at round
prices, as for instance—linsey* field hand,

Cotton Receipts at Memphis.
According lo our Weekly Review, of this
morning, the total receipts of cotton at this
port, since September Ist, are 172,(157 bales,
against 123,573 at this time last year; an in
crease of 18,784 bales. The sliipuieiitsfor the
same time are 1fi7,H32 hales, against 100,242
last year ; an increase of 58,500 bales over
last season. The present stock on lmud is
only 5,(570 bales, against 18,660 last year ; a
decrease 0f12,881 bales as compared with last
| season, and the lightest stock known at this
j time of year for many years past. The pres
ent receipts, owing to the continuation of the
intense cold weather, are very light, not aver
aging 1,000 bales per day, but a return of
warm, pleasant weather will increase them very
materially. A large amount of cotton yet re
mains unpicked in the fields, and which will ,
not be gathered until more favorable weather.

One of the most important features of the
news by the Persia, remarks the Washington
Union, is a disposition on tlic part of Russia
and Austriatoisolate England—in other words, ;
to make an imnngeniout which, while it will
be entirely satisfactory to France, will be
grudgingly subscribed to by her ally. As evi
dence of this spirit, we make room for the !
following extract from the Vienna Presse ;
“If party spirit on thootlicr side of the chan
nel should again endeavor to baffle the efforts
made bv Austria to give peace to the world, a
cry of indignation would be raised throughout
Kuropo, and it would soon be seen that the
most powerful of British ministers would be
unable to oppose the unanimous longing for
peace which is felt throughout this quarter of
the world.”

Mr. Florence said that lie had arrived at no
conclusions relative to its declarations, but
should make up bis mind from the evidence

The memorial was read. It states that the
pretended election of Mr. Whitfield in October
last is absolutely void, being without law or
qualified voters to support it, and that lie was
elected by non-residents and other illegal vo

The memorial, together with others contest

Extract of a letter from a South Carolinian
in Kansas to his friend iu Spartanburg, dated
Atchison, January 22, 1856.
“It is my opinion that Kansas will be a
slave State. To make it so 1 will fight unto
death—‘So help me God.’ We look for a
heavy emigration of both Southern and North
ern men next spring. And I believe it is the
opinion of every one that there will be war in
earnest ere summer smiles upon us. The two
parties are fighting in small parties now when
ever an opportunity offers. About thirty men
were engaged in a fight on the 17tli instant,
below here, in Leavenworth county. One
frecsoiler (Brown) and one pro-slavery man
(Cook) were killed, and a goodly number
wounded. The pro-slavery men took twelve
of their Sharp’s Rifles away from the dogs on
that occasion. It is also rumored that Gen.
Clark and tlic freesoilers have beeu fighting
out at Shawnee within the last few days. I
hope South Carolina will send some of the
boys out tliis spring. If there is not plenty
of money here, we Lave plenty of land and
pure atmosphere.”— Carolina Spartan.
American Cotton for Russia.
The Russian Consul at New Orleans, Mr.
Jones, lias forwarded to the Economic Society
at St. Petersburg, various samples of Ameri
can cotton, and invites the Society to endeavor
to aim to avoid for tlic future the drawing of
supplies of this needful material from either
London or Liverpool; but rather to obtain it
flirough American agency. This is mentioned

A Candid Confession.
The British Governor of Jamaica, in Iris ad
dress at the opening of the Provincial Legisla
ture, recommends the transportation of the fu
gitive slaves from our Southern States who
have taken refuge in Canada, to the Island of
Jamaica, for the following reasons: “Thepco
i pie who may, if matters be properly represent
ed to them, be induced to come hither from
America, are precisely the sort of industrial
population wc require ; besides they arc ad
mirably adapted to the climate of this island.
Bringing with them an amount of civilization
far higher than that of the generality of the
laboring population of thisislaml, nnd acquaint
ed as they are to a much greater extent with
agriculture and mechanical arts—two of the
greatest desiderata in Jamaica—the black and
colored people of America arc not only admir
ably calculated to develop the innumerable re
sources of the island to a far greater extent
than the natives are at present capable of, but
they will, to a certainty, if brought here, be
the means of improving our native peasantry,
by continually presenting, to a people so imi
tative, examples worthy for them to follow.”
This is a striking testimony, as the New
York Express justly remarks, to the humaniz
ing and elevating influences with which the
African is surrounded in the United States.—

finest of gold, said to be worth 98j at tlic mint.
The mine is the property of Williford & Cos.,
of Columbus, Ga. There have been erected
19 comfortable houses l'or laborers, and they
have steam power on the most approved plan,
amounting to 66 horse power, now in success
ful operation, and are taking daily from the

has been held in the hidden rock from time
immemorial. This company, wc are inform

wander to California in search of gold now.
Tallapoosa abounds in the mineral, and all that

There are companies now engaged Jin testing

Miss Sallic Wilson. A negro man on going

to make tlic lire, as he was accustomed to
found the door fastened. He tried to open it’
but all remained still. Becoming alarmed, he
went for the overseer, who forced opened the
door, and perceived Mr. and Mrs. Coxe, both
. dead, she lying on the bed with two bullets
through he head, and her lying on the hearth
shot through the region of the heart, with his
hand still grasping the deadly revolver. They
had been married but a short time and it is
supposed that Mr. Coxe wasinsanc at the time,
as lie has frequently suffered from aberrations
ol the mind. He is the third person in his
