Probably Fatal Affray.
About o’clock on Sunday evening, a
quarrel arose iu the Oglethorpe. House, in this j
city, between John Chisholm (the young man
recently held to bail on a charge of purloining
valuable letters from the post office in this
city) and John Wood, barkeeper at the Hotel,
and from words the parties came to blows.
We learn that Wood had thrown Chisholm to
the floor, and that in this, position the latter j
drow a pistol and shot him through the body.
Wood was last night considered very danger
ously, if not mortally, wounded. Chisholm
immediately lied, and has not been arrested.
P S. Chisolm was arrested Sunday night, at I
a ‘•tatiouon the Opelika Railroad, where bent- ;
tempted to get on the cars going West, and
was brought back to this city and committed
to jail for examination. Mr, Wood was in a
very critical position yesterday evening, and
but little hope of bis recovery was entertained.
Uroceries in New Orleans.
It will be seen by the ((notations under our
Commercial head, that the prices of several
leading articles of Western Produce have ma
terially declined in New Orleans, and that they
are now selling at more reasonable rates. We
trust that our merchants will “make a note of
it,” and avail themselves of the opportunity
thus afforded to feed our community at tiring
prices.

Arrest of Burge’s Accomplice.
E. D. Worrell, charged with being the ac
complice of Wm. Purge (whose arrest in this
State we noticed the other day) in the murder
of a man in Missouri, was trucked to the house
of his father in Dover, Delaware, and there ar
rested mi the 19th inst. He denied commit
ting the murder, but acknowledged that he
was standing by at the time. He had, how
ever, a pair of saddle-bags, a watch and a
blanket in his possession, which a brother-in
law of (Jordon (the murdered man) recoguizcd
as the property of his connexion. Worrell was
taken hack by the officers to Missouri, without
waiting for a requisition.
The prompt and speedy tracking of these
men through several States, while they were
using every artifice to delude nml evade their
pursuers, and their arrest on the same day in
States more than athousand miles apart, speak
well for the efficiency of our police system.
We wish it was as efficient to prevent and
quell disturbances of the peace as it is to catch
offenders after the commission of crimes.
Cheap Oats at Atlanta.
The Intelligencer of yesterday morning,
says “the amount of oats in this market is
larger than was ever known before. One week
ago they were selling from the wagons in our
streets at 50 cts. per bushel. On Saturday an
abundance could he had at -5 to 30 cents.”
Material Aid for Kansas.
In tin* last t’ahaha (Ala.) Gazette, we find a
note from Mr. IV. W. Boykin, of Portland Beat,
Dallas county, who is one of a Committee ap
pointed at the late Kansas meeting in Calioba,
informing the editor that he has “obtained
pledges amounting to about seven hundred
dollars, ami may possibly obtain more.”
This is aid to the project of Maj. Buford.
The subscription of so large an amount in a
Beat that does not poll exceeding thirty votes,
speaks well for the cause in that portion of
Mahaiua. The amount, he says will shortly
be placed in the hands of Boykin and Mcßae,
in Mobile.
Making Good Time.
We leavn from the Apalachicola Advertiser,
that the steamer Ben Franklin, (’apt. Berry,
left that place on Wednesday the 13th, and
made the trip to Eufaula and returned Sun
day the 17th, carrying into port a cargo of
1267 bides of cotton. This, remarks the Ad
vertiser, is the best time ever made, and the
cargo, the largest of the season.
Decisive.
The Washington correspondent of the
t'h(trieston Standard writes (February 20tli):
” Uovernor Shannon assured me, before leav
ing the city, a few evenings since, that, he was
instructed to arrest every member of the Kan
sas Free Soil Legislature, should they attempt
to assemble under the pretended State Consti
tution.’’ We trust that lie is also instructed
to hold them to answer a charge of treason
against the United States, and that the ease
will be prosecuted with a determination and to
a result that will be a warning to nil similar
conspirators and law-breakers.

A New Sugar Cone.
The Agricultural Division of the Patent Of
fice in Washington, has been taking some pains
to introduce the Chinese Sugar Cane and to
promote its culture in this country. We ob
serve that Mr. 11. Dour and Mr. W. Furbringer,
of New Orleans, advertise the seed for sale.
The True Delta says of this plant :
“This new product bids fair to become of
immense national importance. It has succee
ded admirably in almost exert/ strtkm of the
Union, growing to a height of twelve to fifteen
feet, nnd yielding, by estimate, 12.1 per cent,
by weight, of beautiful crystalled cane sugar;
also, twenty-five tons per acre of excellent
greeu fodder, much relished by cattle, swine,
and the like. Hut the yield in alcohol is more
important. The llolcus gives 182 to 190 gal
lons to the acre. In France Mr. dc Heaure
gard obtained from the juice of this plant an
alcohol of excellent flavor, which he sent to
(he market of Marseilles, where it realized the
“i>me price as the alcohol from grapes.”
Land Warrants have declined one cent per
acre in value since our last quotations. The
Washington paper’s still insist that there must
be a further decline soon, and attribute the
present holding up to the fact that the com
missioner has been so occupied by pressing
business in the Pension Office that he had not
signed any warrants since the 12th inst.
The News from Europe.
Onr telegraphic despatches will be lound ol
unusual and exciting interest. Again we are
told that wc are on the very brink ol a war
with Great Britain, and that so great is the in
compatibility ol the views ami claims ol the
two Governments, that no peaceable solution
of their difficulties is apparent. Their res
pective representatives have passed the limits
of calm and courteous discussion, and each
hotly maintains the position his Government
has assumed. The London press, too, indul
ges in hitter vituperation of the United .States,
’ and fans the flame of strife. We apprehended
that a crisis of this kind was near at hand,
when we read the report of Lord Clarendon s
remarks brought out by the Canada. We
could find in them no indication ol a change ol
any position on the part of the Government he
; represented, and we felt that the Administra
tion at Washington c >uld not admit the claims
1 or the propositions of England. Our case is
so evidently right, and so clearly made out,
; that it is difficult to account for the haughty
| stubbornness of Great Britain, Whether her
menacing attitude is assumed because, in her
present mortifying position before the world,
she feels that a little bravado and bluster is
wanting to restore her prestiye, or whether she
really attaches importance to the claims she
has set up in reference to Central America
and the enlistment policy, and seriously means
to maintain them by force of arms, the future
must determine. But, backed as our Admin
istration is in this case by the almost unani
mous support of the country, it is idle to ex
pect that Great Britain (however “allied” or
backed) can either frighten the I nited States
into terms or maintain by arms her pretensions.

The Municipal Difficulty in Montgomery.
The citizens’ meeting held last week, to take
into consideration the amended charter and
the financial condition of the city, was unable
to agree as to the propriety or the practical
effect of the restrictions complained of, and ad
journed without action. At- a meeting of the
Council held on Friday night, wc understand,
live members resigned, the Council first elect
ing in their places five prominent citizens fa
vorable to the amendments passed by the Leg
islature. Hon. Geo. Goldthwaite, lion. Wm.
L. Yancey and F. Bughee, Jssq., wc learn, were
three of the gentlemen so elected. Five other
Counciliiuui announced their intention of re
signing us soon as the new members are quali
fied, so tlmt live more “reformers” may then
ho elected, and thus the control of the city’s
affairs will pass into the hands of the party
sustaining the action of the Legislature.
♦
We have the first day’s proceedings of the
Know-Nothing National Council (not the nom
inating convention) in full; and wo find that
neither Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, nor
Mississippi, was represented. In fact the
entire South was hut meagcrly represented,
and the only men of much distinction or note
appearing from it were Zollicoffer ami Brown
low of Tennessee, and Pike and Fowler of
Arkansas. Fourteen nou-slaveholdiug States
wore represented, and several of them largely.
• A convention representing all the “isms” of
the day—Black Republicanism being the dom
inant feature—was held at Pittsburg, Pa., on
the 23d inst. Its object was to bring about a
grand fusion of all factions to carry the Presi
dential and other elections of this year, and
with this object in view, it is intimated, it will
admit everybody “and no questions asked.”—
The piebald assembly acted with harmony
enough to call a “National” Convention to !
meet at Harrisburg on the 1 7tli of June, to
nominate candidates for tlie Presidency, and
then adjourned.
The New York Herald states that the pre
vious offer to refer to arbitration the Central
American dispute, was made about a year ago
by Lord Clarendon to Mr. Buchanan, and that
Mr. 15. then replied that there was only one
potentate in Europe whom the United States I
would in any way consent to accept as arbitra- |
tor; he was Nicholas of Russia, with whom j
England was at war.
The New York Sunday Atlas 1a paper that
supports Mr. Buchanan tor the Presidency)
states tliat on the Ist instant eleven removals
were made from the night-watch of the Gov
ernment store-houses in Broad street, and on
the 10th twenty-six laborers were discharged
from the same locality, and that the cause of
their removal was that they had all expressed
i themselves in favor of .lames Buchanan for the
| next Presidency.

The Triumph of Giddings’ Principles,
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, who is well unformed as
to the abolition movements, writes as follows :
“ In regard to the Committee on Territories,
it was the desire of some republicans that (.! hi
dings should be honor* 1 with the chairmanship
as a testimonial of appreciation of his eighteen
years of hard lighting in the House for the
principles which have just triumphed in the
election of Speaker. But the appointment of
, Grow, of Pennsylvania, the successor of Wil
• mot, and not a whit less strenuous in support
ing the great tree-soil proviso, was an act
; hardly less emphatic as evidence of Mr. Banks’
; northern proclivities—especially as Biddings
comes second upon the committee.”
■
Mormon Wheelbarrow Emigration.
The St. Louis Republican has the following:
—An item has lately come to our knowledge
which we know to be a fact. And that is the
wheelbarrow emigration among the Saints,
over the plains, to Salt Lake, in the spring.
And with a view of accommodating and expe
diting their transit to their new home, the
wheelbarrow expedient has been suggested
and acted upon.
An establishment has received an order, and
are now manufacturing about live hundred of
the vehicles. Itis proposed that many young
men, and those with strength and physical en
ergy to endure the trip, can pack their kit of
provisions in a wheelbarrow, and trudge aloii”
to the Valley of the Saints. The experiment
at all events, will be tried.
Great Sob- of Negroes.
We understand that the sale of the negroes
of Mr. Montgomery Bell, deceased, at Valiev
Forge, on Wednesday last, brought an aggre
gate of 8180,000. Some of the negroes sold
a high as $2,000 each.— Xah. flntetu.

The steamship Asia lias arrived at Halifax,

Iligli Words between Ministers !
Augusta, Feb. 24—!)} P. M.
The relations between Great Britain and the
United States, were assuming a threatening
aspect, and the funds were depressed by re
ports concerning them. It is confirmed that
strong and high words had passed between
Lord Clarendon and Mr. Buchanan. The tone
of the British Government organs was insult

Piiir,Ai>i:r.ruiA, Feb. 23.—The American
Convention, yesterday, organized by the elec

man. The delegates from Pennsylvania, who
repudiated the twelfth section of the National
Platform, after great opposition, were admit
ted. This caused the wildest excitement
among the southern delegates, numbers of
whom withdrew. The Louisiana delegates
were unanimously admitted. A split in the
! Convention to-day seems inevitable.

The Texas Debt Bill.
The Washington Organ ol’ the 21st instant,
says:
“It remains undecided whether the debt
I bill recently passed by the Texas Legislature
l will be accepted by the Secretary of the Trcas-
I nry, because it is not yet officially known
1 whether the act accepts, without condition, the
i law of Congress. The liberation of $7,750,000
} from the Treasury depends upon this fact.—
The State of California is said to be similarly
j circumstanced with reference to her Indian
I war debt. Congress two years ago made an
appropriation designed to redeem the bonds of
the State representing this debt, but requiring
the concurrent action of the State Legislature
to enable the creditors to get their money.— ;
The Legislature has not acted, and the funds !
to the amount of nearly a million of dollars are
lying idle in the custody of the General Gov
ernment.’
Bishop Pierce.
The Petersburg Express of the 20th instant,
j says: *
“ This eminent divine and efficient officer of
the Methodist E. Church, South, passed
through this city yesterday afternoon, en route
i fov Newark, New Jersey, where he will dedi
cate anew church on Friday next, assisted by
; Bishops Janes and Simpson. Bishop Pierce
: was thrice invited by letter to preach the ded
icatory sermon, but refused, when the congre
gation deputed their pastor to visit the Bishop
at his residence in Georgia, and importunate
him until he acceded to their wishes. lie lias
at last consented, and at considerable incon
venience goes to Newark in the hope that his
visit may tend to restore the good feeling and
brotherly love which once existed between the
churches North and South.”
I'he Kansas Herald of the 9th of February,
>ays that there are three prominent falsehoods
before the public:
No. 1. That the Missourians came over here
and destroyed the ballot box at the election of
the bogus State Constitution. The election
wa> broken up by citizens, bona-fide residents
ot the Territory—not a single Missourian hav
ing anything to do with it.
No. 2. That Missourians came over here
and destroyed the Register Press. This is sn
absurd, that every hotly hol e only laughs at
the impudence of those who make the state
nicnt. \V e say, and challenge any man hero
or elsewhere to contradict it. that Missourians
‘/n/ not conic over here and destroy or aid in
destroying the Register Press.
No. ■>. The Herald of Freedom says : ••That
an election was held at Leavenworth on the
1 {'Hi January, and two hundred legal votes
given. Every body here knows this is false.
Lite city authorities interposed, and the higher
law party dared not even attempt to hold an
election here on the 15th.
Cotton Movements.
From the circular of Messrs. Neill, Bros. A
Cos., of New York, prepared for the steamer
which sailed for Liverpool lad Wednesday, we
quote as follows:
There is now an increase in receipts as
compared with last year of 640,0011 bales, an
increase of foreign exports of 380,000 bales,
of which 141,000 are to Great Britain, and an
increase ot stock of 100,000 hales.
“The southern telegraphs show that the
item of receipts will be further augmented next
week, the joint deliveries in New Orleans and
Mobile amounting tv 74,000 hales for the seven
days, against 35,000, or more than double, still
there are strong indications of the supply from
the deep rivers tributary to New Orleans be
coming exhausted, and without reference to
the extent of the crop grown and held from
last year, which wc still think cannot fail,
•hort of 3,500,000 bales, it is becoming very
problematical if nearly n.s large a quantity
will reach the ports. For any sucli result we
arc entirely dependent upon the tributary
steams, and those which supply New Orleans j
are in very nearly as bad a position as at this
time last year.
It is to be remarked, too, that the bulk id
! the Alabama crop was last year delivered in
1 the Spring months, only 142,000 bales having
reached Mobile before this date. This year,
however, that port has had good rivers most
of the season, and 380,000 baleshave got down,
leaving comparatively little for the Spring,
even after a large allowance for increased
growth.
We do not think there is the slightest war
rant for the reduction of the estimates of growth
advised from the South, but there is daily less j
i certainty as to the quantity which may be de- ;
livernl this year, and the large wants of this ;
i country and the continent of Europe sire worthy
! of attention.
“ The Exports have been unusually large
! this week, amounting to 126,000 bales, of
‘ which about one half, say 04,000 bales, have
; been to Great Britain, 15,000 to France, and
j 40,000 to other foreign ports. A falling off’
! however lias taken place iu the number of ships ;
| now loading, especially for Great Britain.
Strange Mail Matter.
An entirely new article of transmission in
f the mails was received at the postoffice of this ;
| city a few days since. On opening one of the j
western mails wlmt should bounce out of the |
bag but a small dog, properly addressed to the
owner and marked paid, aceordiugto the rules
of the department. The little fellow seemed
glad to get his liberty again and to breathe the
fresh air once more. He arrived at lus desti
nation apparently safe and well. SofaraS wc j
are aware, this is the first instance of the traui*.
portation of live animals by mails. But there
is no felling to what ues such a convenient
means of public conveyance limy be put when
it is once in successful operation, and no other
way present s itself. AVc do not know that this
is a worse perversion of the design of our pos
tal system than occasional practices of members
of Congress in sending their washing thou
sands of miles to their homes, under the mark
of public documents, and with the frank of
postage free.- —Western (A*. 1.) /Jan.
“Main Trunk Hoad” in North Carolina.
There are many reasons for feeling an inter
est in the progress of this good old iState. If .
slow, she is sure, and her prudence lias given !
her the advantage of the experience of other
tstates. \Y© have now before us the closing j
report of the Chief Engineer of the North
Carolina Railroad Company, (Walter Gwyun,
Esq.,) announcing the completion of the work,
with the exception of three miles of rails to be
laid, which will he performed in a few days.
This road commences at Goldsborougli, and
extends to Charlotte, near the South Carolina
line, 22'! miles, passing through Raileigh,
Hillsborough, Greensborougli, Lexington and
Salisbury. It was commenced in July, 1851,
and “the ceremony of ‘breaking ground’ was
performed at Grecnsborough by the llou. Cal
vin Graves, whose casting vote, as Speaker of
the Senate, for the charter of the company,
lms won for hint the appellation of ‘the pilot
who weathered the storm,’ although in doing
so lie sacrificed himself with Roman devotion j
to its fury.”
The Engineer states that the extension of !
the North Carolina railroad into Tennessee j
and to the seaport at Beaufort is in progress, j
The road just finished was built principally by ;
farmers on t lie route w orking out a half million
of their stock upon their own resources, “an
achievement unprecedented in the annals of
the public works of thisor any other country,”
ami is stated to vindicate the energy, enter
prise, and industry of the citizens of the State.”
The capital stock of the company is four
millions of dollars, the State owning three mil
lions and individuals one million.
There is now a complete railroad line through
North Carolina from north to south, and the
prosperity of the State in all respects seems to
be onward. —Savannah llep.
Product of North Carolina.
The popular idea that North Carolina pro
duces nothing hut “tar, pitch and turpentine,”
’ is fast being dispelled by the railroads with
i which the energy of her citizens is covering
her territory. Last year the county of Hyde
! exported corn and wheat to the amount of $860,-
000; and the county of Edgecombe raised and
shipped $400,000 worth of cotton. The exports
from Washington, N. C., for last year amount
ed to 81,020,013 12, of which 887,045 was to
foreign countries. Since the opening of the
Central railroad to Greensborough, there have
been 539 barrels of Hour sent from that town,
of which 800 went to Norfolk; 15,000 barrels
of dried fruit were among the first receipts in
Norfolk which resulted from the opening of
the Central railroad.
A Gymnastic Senator.
The Boston l’ost, referring to Senator Hale s
attack on the President's message, says:
“Jack Hale turned a summerset, stood on his
head, walked on his hands, and cut up other
antics to amuse the Senate when the message
was read to that body, and finally resumed his
seat without injuring anv one or tearing his
clothes.”

To give an idea of the value of property in
this city, we mention the figures in two trans
actions which have lately taken place. A lot
on College street near the square with twenty
five feet front brought $500,00 per foot a few
days since, and a lot on the North-east corner
of tlie square sold at SSOO per foot. Other
property according to location sells at propor
tionate .rates throughout the citv. —Xiixhrille

“Hoop” Accident,

when one of the hoops with which hercircum
