L ARARAT CITY CIRCULATION.
The 22d.
The lirtli-<la> of Washington was commemo
rated in this city by a parade <>t two ot the
militnvv companies, who made quite an Im
posing and creditable display- t olumhus can
boast of as tine volunteer companies us any
city in the South, and on this occasion their
turn-out was unusually full and attractive. ,
The Columbus Guards shot at a target tor the .
prize of a gold watch, which was won by pri
vate McDougnld. At night there was tv ball
in Temperance Mall, and the exercises and
festivities of the day dosed witli gaiety and
gallantly.
UUlttP’b ATHENAEUM.
Mr. W. 11. tlrisp, with his deservedly po
pular company, has been performing to good
audiences the past week in this city, with the
distinguished Tragedienne, Miss Klixa Logan,
as principal star. Saturday evening was set
for Miss Logan s benefit, and so grent was the
demand for seats, that many hail to go away
unaccommodated.
The company, We learn, have made un ac
cession of several performers of talent to the
corps, among them, Mr. Chanfrau, at'omme
dian of much celebrity in the New York thea
tres, and will continue their entertainments
during this week.
Miss Logan, we understand, having complet
ed her engagements with Mr. Crisp’s compa
ny, left yesterday morning, for New Orleans,
to till existing engagements in that city and
Memphis.

Three Elephants, followed by a crowd of ad
miring youngsters, passed through our city
yesterday, going west, to unite with Robinson
A Eldred’s menagerie and circus.

The receipts of cotton at New Orleans up to
Wednesday evening, Feb. 20th, are 1,1101,840
bales. The receipts on that day were 12,815
bales.

The steam propeller Arctic, which put into
the port of Halifax without learning any thing
about the Pacific, arrived under sail and in a
disabled condition—probably the result of her
conflict with the ice.

The Louisiana Legislature unseated several
at tiie Know Nothing representatives elect from
Mew Orleans, on the ground that violence was
uced at the ballot-boxes at pvecinots in their
districts; and it has now, by a party vote,
removed .Sheriff llufty, the Know Nothing
candidate elected at the same time, for the
entne cause. This latter proceeding lias caus
ed great excitement in New Orleans, and may
lead to disturbances.

The Legislature, on Friday.
The only account we have yet received of
the proceedings on Friday, is the following
brief communication by the Alilledgeville cor
respondent of the Savannah Journal:
*’ Nothing ol particular interest, has trans
pired to-day.”
The same correspondent writes thus clieer
iugly of the prospects of the Main Trunk Rail
way bill:
Y on may confidently rely upon the passage
of the Railroad hill through the Senate.”
——*
llie instructions given by the Administra
tion to Governor .Shannon and the conunau
dere of troops on the borders of Kansas, are
of especial importance at this time. We copy
them in another column. It seems pretty clear
from these documents that the Governor is
authorized to call upon the military to aid him
in putting down by force, if necessary, the
revolutionary government which the freesoilcrs
sie concocting, nfl.l to compel obedience to the
laws at Lawrence and Topeka. We trust that
the work may be done effectually this time,
and that we shall hear no more of “‘treaties’’
with rebels, or compromises with outlaws and
traitors.
The New York papers report that Governor
Shannon is authorized to forcibly dissolve
and break up the revolutionary Legislature to
assemble at Topeka on (lie 4th of March, and
predict that there will then lie a eontlict be
tween the Federal authorities and the Frce
soilere Os course the fighting part of the
prediction is all gammon.

A bill is pending before Kentucky Legisla
ture to provide for a tax upon the slave pro
perty ot the State, lor the purpose ot’ eniplov
mg un efficient patrol upon the Ohio river, for
its whole length along the Northern boundary
of Kentucky, to prevent the escape of slaves
into Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Such a meas
ure seems to be absolutely necessary, in view
ot flic many slave stampedes across the river,
aud no doubt the State would be a pecuniary
gainer by its adoption. Rut the question
arises, the escape of the slaves being attribu
table to (lie persuasion and assistance of the
people of Ohio and other- bordering States,
ought those States, or ought Kentucky, to bear
the expense of the patrol thus rendered neces
sary ? We will be told that reprisals or taxes
upon the commerce of one State by another
are unconstitutional; and so they'doubtless
are, according to the letter of tho Federal Con
•titution. Rut the act of persuading and aid
ing slaves to escape, and harboring them after
they have so escaped, is equally unconstitu
tional ; and Ohio laws declare a slave brought
into that State by his master to be free. Shall
the uon-shiveliolding States be allowed with
impunity to violate the constitution and rob
Southern men of their property, aud must the
South always stand upon constitutional scru- !
pics while thus outraged and insulted ? What i
do they gain by the Union if it not only fails
to protect them from depredation, but abso
lutely prevents them from protecting them
r*elvoK v
.
IVe observe by tho last New Orleans papers
that the upper Red, Ouachita and White riv
ers are now at a navigable stage, and that
steamers are bringing cotton front their ports.
Ihe moderate weather has also let out the
tioats on the I ennessee river, The arrivals
from these rivers have materially helped to j
make up the large receipts at New Orleans this i
week.
The New American Platform.
We are informed by telegraph that on the
21st the National American t'ouncil, in ses
sion at I’hibidolphia, adopted a now platform,
“the substuiicc of which was foreshadowed in
the Washington Organ of the 15th instant, as
a substitute for the platform of List June.—
For the purpose of learning the provisions and
spirit of this new platform, wehave referred to.,
the Organ of that date, and find that it was
adopted nt a meeting ot the “Chief t'ouneil of
the American party for the District of Colum
bia,” and recommended to the National and
I State Councils. As we are not informed that
it was adopted word for word by the National
Council, but only that it formed “the sub
stance” of the action of the Council at L’hila- j
dolphin, we will now give the substance of the
j platform published in the Organ, and will
copy verbatim that adopted at Philadelphia
when we receive it.
Section Jst consistently repents the “ae- ]
knowledginent of the Supreme being who rules 1
the universe.” and thanks Him for our national
blessings. (The Council is evidently resolved
to “take no step backward” from that position.)
Sec. 2d. “ The perpetuation ol’ our Federal
Union, as the palladium of our civil and reli
gious liberties, and the only sure bulwark of
American independence.”
Sec. Bd. must rule Amer
ica,!’ and native-born citizens in preference to
naturalized fur all offices; but 4th, persons
bora of American parents temporarily abroad
not to be excluded.
Sec. sth. No person, native or foreign, to be
selected for political station, who recognises
any allegiance or obligation of any description
to any foreign prince, potentate or power, or
who refuses to recognize the Federal and
State constitutions (each within its sphere.)
aw paramount to all Other law as rules of polit
ical action. (Thereby intending to exclude
those who own civil allegiance to the Pope,
and the “higher law” fanatics.)
Sec, lith. “ Tho unqualified recognition and
maintenance of the reserved rights of the sev
eral States, and the cultivation of harmony
and fraternal good will, between the citizens
of the several .States, and to this end, non
interference by Congress with questions ap
pertaining solely to tho individual States, and
non-intervention by cacti State.”
Sec. 7tli. “The recognition of the right of
the native-born and naturalized citizens of the
United States, permanently residing in any
Territory thereof, to frame their constitution
and laws, and to regulate their domestic aud
social affairs in their own mode, subject only
to the provisions of the Federal < ‘onstitutiou,
with the right of admission into the Union
whenever they have the requisite population
for one representative in Lon gross. Provided
always, that none but those who are citizens of
the United States, under tho constitution and
laws thereof, and who have a fixed residence
in any such Territory, ought to participate in
the formation of the constitution, or in the
enactment of laws for said Territory or State.”
(This is “squatter sovereignty,” unadultera
ted, and a joint rebuke of foreign voters sent
on by “emigrant aid socioties, ’< and “border
ruffians.”)
Sec. Bth. The States to be prohibited from
allowing loreign-bovn persons to vote or hold
office, unless they have been naturalized ac
cording to the laws of the United States.
Sec. fith. Twenty-one years residence as a
qualification to foreigners; lmt no interference
with vested rights.
See. 10th. “Opposition to any union between
Church and State; no interference with reli
gious faith, or worship, and no test oaths for
office, except those indicated in the sth section
of this platform.”
See. II th. “‘Free and thorough investigation
into any and all alleged abuses of public
1 unctiouaries, and a strict economy in public
expenditures. ”
Sec. 12th “Opposition to the reckless and
unwise policy ot the present administration in
the general management of our national at
tairs, and more especially as shown in remov
ing “Americans,” (by designation) and con
servatives in principle, from office, and placing
foreigners and altruists in their places; as
shown in a truckling subserviency to thestron
ger, and nu insolent and cowardly bravado to
wards to tlio weaker powers: as shown in re
opening sectional agitation, by tho repeal of
the Missouri ( ompromise : ns shown in grant
ing to unnaturalized foreigners the right of
suff rage in Kansas and Nebraska ; as shown in
its vascillating course oh the Kansas and Ne
braska question: as shown in tlio removal of
Judge llronson from the Collector-hip of N.
York upon false and untenable grounds; a
shown in 11 hi corruptions which pervade some
of the departments of the government; as
shown in disgracing meritorious naval officers
through prejudice and caprice ; and as shown
in tiie blundering mismanagement of our for
eign relations.”
Sec. 14th “Therefore to remedy existing
evils, and prevent the disastrous consequences
otherwise resulting therefrom, wo would build
up the “American Party” upon the princi
ples herein before stated, eschewing all sec
tional questions, and uniting upon thosepurelv
national, and admitting into said party all
American citizens, (referred to in the :’,d.‘ tth.
and sth sections,) who openly avow the princi
ples and opinions heretofore expressed, and
who will subscribe their names to this platform
Provided, nevertheless, that a majority of
those members present at the meeting of a local
couiuml where an applicant applies for mem
bership in the American party may, for any
reason by them deemed sufficient, donv admis
sion to such applicant.”
seem loth. “A lice and open discussion of all
political principles embraced in our platform.” 1
It is worthy of remark, that in the same
number of tlio Organ containing this platform,
the editors say that their views as to the pro
priety of making a nomination this month have
undergone a change, and that they now advo
cate tho making of a nomination for the Presi
dency at the earliest moment. This may be
j an indication that the adoption of the above
j platform and the prompt nomination of candi
dates are part and parcel ot the same policy,
i and that the triends of the one would also press i
the other. Wc shall see.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Main Trunk Bill Passed—Amended.
Cm rvspoinlcnCe of tiie Huvanmdi Journal.
Thiiusdav, Feb. 21.
House or Kkhkksbntativks. —On yester
day, in consequence of the death of -Mr. Cun
ningham, the member from Forsyth, the House
and Senate passed the usual resolutions and
adjourned for'the day, to attend the body of
the deceased to the depot, in its mournful pas
sage to its fimilresting place in Forsyth county.
The deceased was, probably, the oldest man
in the House, and sunk under nn attack pt i
pneumonia, increased in consequence of expo
sure during the severe weather of the last few
weeks.
This morning the House met ut 9.1 o’clock,
the clouds slowly, and yet continuously pour
ing their liquid contents Upon the wet and
muddy streets.
A bill providing for the payot’ t'aptain Pat
terson’s troop of mounted volunteers of Union
county, for services rendered during tho re- j
moval of the Cherokee Indians, heretofore un
der consideration, was reported on this morn
ing, by a special committee, who recommend
ed the passage of a substitute in lieu of tiie j
original bill, providing for the appointment of
Commissioners by tiie Governor, to inquire j
into the facts, and if they are entitled to pay, I
to audit their accounts, and have them paid.
The substitute was adopted and passed.
The special committee on the Alain Trunk
Atlantic & Gulf Railway, through their chair- j
man Mr. Jones, made their report again this j
morning. They report two amendments, one
limiting the subscription of tbe State to
$1,000,000, and the other not allowing the
superstructure or iron to be placed on the road,
until either the Savannah or Brunswick road
are running cars in connection with it.
The bill was considered and supported by
Messrs. Irvin (of Wilkes) and Dawson; and
opposed by Dr. l’hilips and Mr. Ward. On
the passage, the yeas are 78—nays 50.
The result was extremely gratifying to the
friends of the measure. 1 think the measure
will pass without difficulty the Senate.
Tho day is breaking for Southern Georgia—
her future is destined to be, I trust, such a
one as will add to the dignity, strength and
population of our State.
Kansas Documents.
The following documents, communicated to
Congress by the President last Monday, will
be read with much interest:
Mr. Morey to (for. Shannon.
Department or Statu, |
Washington, Feb. 10, 1856. j
Sir : 1 herewith enclose to you a copy of a
proclamation by the President, dated lltli
inst., duly authenticated, and also a copy of
orders issued from the Department of War to
Col. Sumner and Rrev. Col. Cooke, of the U.
States army.
The President is unwilling to believe that in
executing your duties ns Governor of tho Ter
ritory of Kansas there will be any occasion to
call in the aid of the United States troops for
that purpose, and it is enjoined upon you to
do all that can possibly tie done before resort
ing to that measure ; yet if it becomes indis
pensably necessary to do so, in order to execute
the laws and preserve peace, you are hereby
authorized by the President to make requisi
tion upon the officers commanding tiie United
States military forces at Fort Leavenworth and
Fort Riley for such assistance as may be need
ed for tho above specified purposo.
While confiding in the respect of our citi
zens for the laws, and the efficiency of the or
dinary means provided for protecting their
rights and property, ho dooms it, however, not
improper, considering the peculiar situation of
affairs in the Territory of Kansas, that you
should be authorized to have the power herein
conferred with a view to meet any extraordin
ary emergency that may arise ; trusting that
it will not be used until you shall find a resort
to it unavoidable in order to insure the due
execution of the laws and to preserve the pub
lic peace.
before any actual interposition of the mili
tary force on any occasion, you will cause the
proclamation of the President, with which you
are herewith furnished, to he publicly read.
1 am sir, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, W. L. MARt’Y.
lion. Wilson Shannon,
Governor of the Territory of Kansas.
‘the Secretary of War to Colonels Sunnier anil
Cooke.
Wah Department, \
Washington, Feb. 15, .1856. j
Sir: The President lias, by proclamation,
warned all persons combined for insurrection
or invasive aggression against tho organized
government of the Territory of Kansas, or as
sociated to resist the due execution of the
laws therein, to abstain from such revolutionary
and lawless proceedings ; and has commanded j
them to disperse and retire peaceably to their j
respective abodes on pain of being resisted by |
his whole constitutional power. If, therefore,
the governor of the Territory, finding the or
dinary course of judicial proceedings and the
powers vested in United Stntesinnrshals inade
quate for the suppression of insurrectionary
combinations or armed resistance to the exe
cution ot the law, should make requisition
upon you to furnish a military force to aid
him in the performance of that official duty,
you are hereby directed to employ for that
purpose such part of your command as may in
your judgment consistently lie detached from
their ordinary duty.
In executing this delicate function of the
military power of the United States, yon will
exercise much caution to avoid, if possible,
collision with even insurgent citizens : aud will
endeavor to suppress resistance to the laws
and constituted authorities by that moral force
which, happily, in our country, is ordinarily
sufficient to secure respect to the laws of the
land and the regularly constituted authorities
of the government. You will use a sound dis
cretion ns to the moment at which the further
; employment of the military force may be dis
[ continued, and avail yourself of the ‘first op
portunity to return with your com maud to the
more grateful and prouder service of the sol- !
diev—that of common defence.
For your guidance in the premises, you arc 1
referred to the Acts of 28th Feb., 1795, and I
8d of March. 1807, [see Military Laws, pages
861 and 128,] and to the proclamation of The
President, a copy of which is herewith trans
mitted.
Should you need further or more specific
instructions, or should, in tho progress of j
events, doubts arise in your mind ns to the
course which it may be proper for v ou to pur
sue. you will communicate directly with this ‘
department, stating the points upon which
you wish to bo informed.
Very respectfully,
Y our obedient servant,
JEFFERSON DAVIS,
Secretary of War.

A Hotel Thief Caught.
Y esterday morning a man who registered
his name at the United States Hotel, as 11. J.
j Thomason, from Clarke county, Ga., was ar-
I rested for practising the art of Hotel thieving,
in which ho had been quite successful.
About ten days ago, a gentleman, E. A. Tiun
| lin, of Cass county, who stopped at the U. S.
| Hotel, was robbed of nine hundred dollars,
I and some other articles have been missed
about the Hotel; and as there were some sus
picions that Thomason was the thief, a close
watch was kept on him by tlio proprietor aud
others. On Tuesday night, he lodged in the
the same room with J. W. Varner of Greene
county, with whom he had some slight ac
quaintance, and yesterday morning Air. V.
found he had been relieved of fifteen hundred
dollars, whereupon, Thomason was immedi
ately arrested, and all the money’ recovered
but one hundred and thirty dollars. Thoma
son was committed for a hearing. —Auyiuta

Tlio Holy Places.
iho Marquis do Forbiu Jansen, who was
sent some time ago to that city by the French
gu\eminent, tor the purpose of inquiring into
the encroachments made at different times bv
the Greeks upon the Holy Places at Jerusalem,
belonging to the Latins, has at length accom
plished his mission, and is now on his way
back to France. Among the Holy Places in
question is the great church of St. Alary, at
Bethlehem, the nave and four aisles of which,
exclusive ot the choir, have become a kind of
bazaar, otten trequented, it would seem, bv
tho rising generation of the above mentioned
town as a capital play-ground; iutlie evening
tiie women assemble there to enjoy the cool
ness of the place, and tiie Bedouins of the
neighborhood make it their council room,
where they adjust differences among them
selves. The choir is in the hands of the Greeks
and Armenians, who celebrate their worship
there, and nothing is left to the Roman Cath
olics but a small chapel, which cannot contain
one-fourth of the Latin population. The other
sanctuaries, the restitution of which is claimed
by tlio Lntius, arc the great- dome of the rotun
da of the Holy Sepulchre, the monument and
small eupulo enclosing the tomb of Jesus
Christ, the stone of the unction at the foot if
Golgotha, the seven arches of the Virgin be
hind the Magdalen Chapel, the Church of the
Sepulchre of tho Virgin at Oethseuinne, and
the birth place of our Saviour, in the crypt,
under the choir of the church of Bethlehem.
During his stay at Jerusalem the Marquis de
Forbin Jansen was decorated with the Order
of the Holy Sepulchre, by the Latin Patriarch,
who is the Grand Master of thatOnler. —Timm
