COLUMBUS: Wedaciday Morning, Feb. #7, 18#0 * LAHUEBT CIT V CIHCUIATIOA. PRINTER WANTED. A competent Jot* Printer, of good Ualntn, will find permanent employment at the Sun Job Office. ♦ A Musical Treat. The celebrated Maurice Strakosh, with the eminent singers Md’lle Parodi and Mad. Ame lia Pnti Strakosh, nssisted by other talented vocalists, will give a Concert in this city on Saturday evening next. Combining the very highest talent in their profession, this company offer entertainments of unrivulled attraction, and everywhere elicit the very highest encomi ums due to eminent proficiency and thorough scientific attainments. -♦ Tho Main Trunk Bill Passed ! We are gratified to hear that the Senate ol Georgia passed the “Main Trunk Railway bill, on Monday, by tho largo majority of 117 votes. It had previously passed the House, as already announced. It provides for State aid, by subscription for nmilliou dollars of the stock, and its terms ensure connections with both ,Savannuh and Brunswick. It is the crowning measure of tlie session, and will greatly enhance the prosperity ol’ the State. —■ Death of Wood. Mr. John Wood, who was shot on Sunday night, in the Oglethorpe House, by John Chis olm, died on Monday night of his wound. A Coroner’s inquest was held, and brought in a verdict in accordance with the facts os hereto fore stated. ( ‘hisolni is in the jail of this city, and has two heavy charges to answer at the, bar of his country. 11c is a young man of on ly sixteen or seventeen years ol age, and much sympathy is felt in this community for the af fliction of his much respected and sorrowing family. ♦ Crisp’s Athenaeum Htill attracts crowds of our citizens, and otters very entertaining bills for each evening. Mr, Cliunfrau remains several nights longer, and appears to-night in two of his best char acters. The Know Nothings in tho Field. Tho nominations of Fillmore of New York, and Lionels >n of Tennessee, as the Know Nothing candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, have been communicated to ub by telegraph. Our previous advices left the Convention in a state of considerable ex citement, nnd represented the Southern dele gates as much embarrassed and confused. A resolution was passed providing for “the call of another convention to meet in August, in uase the person nominated for the Presidency ‘•hall affiliate with the Black Republicans.”— This is entirely anew idea in party conven tions, and its effect remains to be developed. Perhaps its entitle was the reconciliation of the Southern delegates; for we infer from the no mination of Mr. Fillmore on Monday, that they were reconciled and voted for him. We hope to receive a lull and authentic copy of the Platform adopted by the Council, by mail to-day. We have not yet hoard whether the Nominating Convention took action upon this Platform, or whether it adopted any reso lutions in reference to tlie principles of the or ganization. Worthy of Note. We learn by the Foreign advices that “Sir Henry Bulwer had offered to mediate between Mr. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon.” If there was any personal misunderstanding between those two high functionaries, the offer was appropriate enough ; hut if Sir Henry propo sed to be constituted the medium through whom the two Governments should continue negotiations, the proposition was a very cool and Belf-ooinpacent one, considering that he was tho British Minister who negotiated the Central American Treaty with Mr. Clayton 1 It, is about on a par with tho offer of Great Britain to submit its construction to one of her allies and F.uropeun co-monarchists. We are also informed that “France and En gland are about to send envoys to Brazil to influence her on Central American affairs/’— So the policy of the Alliance did embrace af fairs on this continent, and Great Britain and France, are leagued against us. Or perhaps the announcement is only a British invention to scare “Uncle Sam” by the prospect of an Anglo-French alliance against him. In either case it will be apt to prove a failure. The South American States are already tired of European influence and intermeddling; and the United States can hardly be frightened by the bravado of a couple of old fogy nations which, in connection with two or three other allies, are now suing for peace with Russia. Law Without Order. We mentioned, a week or two since, the dis pute in reference to one of the Beats on the bench of the New York Court of Appeals, to which there were three claimants—one claim ing by virtue of an election by the people, an other because the Governor had decided the election to be informal and had commissioned him, and the third because he had appealed to ihe Court itself and had obtained some sort of an order opening the way to his claims. Two of these claimants now sit on tlie bench, ma king four instead of three Judges, and tlie Court cannot or will not correct the informali ty ! Oil the 21st inst., when a case was called, one of the counsel asked the presiding Judge to designate which three of the Judges were to try it, but be refused to decide the question. We are told that “the law is the perfection of human wisdom,” but if this High Court of Appeals has not worked itself into a very ridiculous and disorderly condition, we don’t know what constitutes a muss or a farce. - —.— The Governor of Louisiana has appointed John M. Bell, Democrat, Sheriff of the parish j of Orleans, in the place of Mr. Hufty, Know Nothing, removed by the Legislature. Alliance with Russia. The Boston Courier of the 12th inst., con- j tains an elaborate article, written by a gentle- [ man in St. Petersburg, on “a perpetual alii- ‘ anee, commercial and defensive, between tlie United States and Russia.” Maj. Buford’s Campany. The Kutaula Spirit of the South contains it letter from Miijot Buford in reference to hi contemplated emigration with a Southern company to Kansas. Maj. 11. quotes from the late Proclamation of President Pierce, ami maintains that his enterprise does not come within its prohibition, as he does not contem plate any “ aggressive intrusion,” nor “com bination against “the constituted authorities of the Territory,” nor any “tinned intervention in its affairs.” But in deference to the Presi dent’s Proclamation and in consonance with the true designs of the expedition, he announ ces that he has decided to go umtrmeef. The route of t he company will be by way of Mont gomery, Mobile and New Orleans, and emi grants desiring to rendezvous at this place arc requested to meet Maj. 15. here on the ‘ld of April ; those nearest Malania will meet him at that place on the last day of March : and those nearest Montgomery will be in that city by : the nth of April. Messrs. < ox, 1 Iranian! N | Cos., of Mobile have offered to transport the company from Montgomery to Mobile free ol I charge, and iio doubt other facilities will he i liberally extended to them along the route. We arc glad to learn that “ material aid” ! for the expedition continues to be raised, and | that recruits arc daily increasing. Maj. 11. j says: “ The last three weeks brought ninety \ letters, one of which promises me TOO men from South Carolina, another 50from Atlanta, (la., and so on down to one from Illinois and one from Boston.” We copy a paragraph from the Charleston Courier, showing the progress of recruiting for this colony in South Carolina. Maj. Buford renews his appeal for prompt and liberal contributions, and requests all who intend to go to forward their names and ad dress immcilwUly. Kansas Documents. On Monday of last week the President com municated to the Senate several additional pa pers in reference to tlie state of affairs in Kan sas. Among them are letters from Gov. Shan non giving reports of tlie unlawful Freesoil movements in the Territory, their proceedings towards the organization of anew Government by revolution, their collection of military stores at Lawrence and Topeka, their attempts to collect a large force from the States to resist the laws, Ac. As our readers ore already ac quainted with these proceedings, we do not deem it necessary to copy the letters in full. Among the documents are also letters from Lane and Robinson to the President, impu dently representing their s to be the aggrieved party, pretending that the Missourians were getting up an armed invasion to drive them from the Territory, and asking for Federal intervention! Although the last of these let ters was written about the time of the date of their letters to Governors Phase and Clarke, Robinson omits his assumed official title in ad dressing the President, and only calls himself “ Chairman of the Committee of Safety.” while in li is communications to the Executives of Ohio and New York he styles himself “ Governor elect of Kansas.” A pretty fair illustration of abolition double-dealing and inconsistency generally. The bark Ward Chapman, from Malta, bound to Savannah, arrived at the latter port on Sunday last, after a voyage of one hundred and eleven days. The Captain died while the vessel was at sea, and it would appear that no one on board knew how to navigate her after his death, and she was tossed about upon the Atlantic for so long a period beyond the time for which provision had been made that her crew were almost starved to death on several occasions. They were occasionally relieved by vessels passing, from which provisions were obtained, but their destitution was so great at, other times that they ate the dogs on board ami lived oil the most sparing allowance. Finally they fell in with tlie ship Evening Star, from Antwerp to New Orleans, which supplied them plentifully with food and put on board an act ing captain who brought them into the port of Savannah. —— ♦- “No Tidings of the Pacific.” \\o regret to have to repeat this announce ment. Tho Foreign intelligence by the Atlan tic and the Asia contains as yet no allusion to the missing steamer, and tlie steamship Ala bama has returned to New York after an un availing search. Had the report of the Paci fic's putting back into the river Shannon been correct, or bad her safety been ascertained, tlie fact would of course have been telegraph ed as among the most important items of news. But there is no reason yet to despair of her safety, as -he may quite probably he riding the j billows with disabled machinery, ami may he | fallen in with, or make some port, in a short ! time. Every day’s lapse without news from her must add, however, to the fears entertain ed for her. ♦ Nebraska. Gen. llamey lately left Fort Fierro, and with an escort paid a visit to the region of the Running Water, where lie caused the arrest of Col. Howe, oil charge of starving and mal treating the soldiers under his command at that cantonment. In the spring tho military post is to be removed from Fort l’ierre to a point twenty miles above Sioux city. General Harney also intends to go on an expedition in the spring against the Punciui Indians, for having stolen a great many horses and nudes from the troops. The lower branch of the Legislature of'No braska lias passed an act extending the right of suffrage to women. It passed by four ma jority, but we do not find that it was acted on by the other branch. The Southerners in that Territory are few in number. A prescription for the sure cure of small 1 pox, scarlatina, and measles, has been comma- ‘ nicated by a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London. It is reported to nave been tested with invariable success iu innu merable instances, and the receipt is as fel lows : Take one grain of powdered foxglove or digitalis valuable in the ratio of its greenness —nnd the same quantity of the sulphate of zinc or white vitriol : rub thoroughly in a mortar with a few drops of water : add four ounces of water and a little sugar. Os this mixture, a table-spoonful should be given an adult, and two tea-spoonsful to a child, every second hour, until symptoms of disease vanish. The herb annihilates the fever, and the zinc acts as a ton!'* GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Cm of the Siv.iiiuali Journal. liVKMNG SUHStON, Feb 22d. A bill to authorize the Justices of the Inferi or Courts in the counties in this .State to as sess and collect a Tax for the payment ol Grand ami Petit Jurors, and to discontinue and renew the Tax at pleasure. Passed. Sail km ay, Feb. 28. On yesterday, the House passed by a vote of UF ayes to 1 nay, the hill proposing a change from biennial to annual sessions, and limiting the sessions of the General Assembly to Todays. The bill may he objectionable, only in the fact that it dues nut reduce the number of members of the General Assembly. It does not require annual elections, but the elections to In; as heretofore biennial) anti hold annual sessions, commencing on tlie Jst Wed nesday in November, and not tositlonger than 10 days, unless protracted by a two thirds vote of Loth branches. A bill appropriating one thousand dollar to erect-a monument to the lion. A. J. Miller, was passed. The inscription upon it directed to lie prepared by lloh. .John Milledge and.las. Gardner, Jr., of Augusta. A supplemental appropriation bill providing payment of State House Guard, and other or dinary expenses of Government, was passed. A Senate bill prohibiting Warehouse men awl Commission Merchants of Columbus, from charging one month's storage on cotton sold from wagons, carts, <Nc , in said city—was amended by the House by making it a general instead of a local bill. It was further amen ded, so as to make such factors responsible (if they fail within 21 hours after selling produce to deposit in post office notice to their principal of such sale,) for the highest market price (of such article) between such sale and the recei ving notice of it by the principal; and alter being thus nmended, was passed by the House. The Senate bills incorporating a Bank “at Fungoid” and one at Savannah, to bocalled the “Timber Cutter’s Bunk,” were taken up and passed by the House. On to-day the House proceeded to tlie con ! sideration of a bill, the special order of the day, providing for a removal of free persons | of color from the State to Liberia or some ; other point beyond the United States. The special committee to whom the bills of this character had been referred, reported a substi tute in lieu of them. It provides for the set ting apart of the fund now raised by taxation on that class of our population, to be appropri ated to the removal of those who desire to be transported to Liberia. It also provides that at the request of such free persons, they may be sold into slavery—giving them the right to select their masters and appropriating the amount of such sales to Poor School purposes in the counties where they occur. The bill was opposed by Messrs. .Tones of Muscogee, and Terhune, and advocated by Mr. Irvin and Dr. Phillips, and passed by a vote of 72 to 82. The bill as reported by the Coiumit-tcc on tlie State of the Republic, “authorizing the Governor to call a Convention upon certain contingcnces” therein specified, was taken up. The bill provides that on the happening of any of the contingencies mentioned in the Ith res olution of the Georgia Platform, that the Governor shall call a Convention of the people to determine the measure of redress. A sub stitute was offered by Mr. Lewis of Greene, providing that on the happening of any of the contingencies specified, the Governor shall convene the Legislature, Who tsliall proceed as they may think best, to adopt such measures as they may think best for tlie interest of the State. The question was ably discussed by Messrs. Crook, Smith of Union, and Lawton for the original bill, and Messrs. Thornton and Harris, of Fulton, for the substitute. On the motion to adopt it, the yeas were 8(5, nays GG. * Upon the passage of the original bill, as re : ported by the Committee on the State of the Republic, Hie yeas were 71, nays 2'J. This vote shows Georgia right side up as yet, on her conventional platform. Mr. Lawton of Chatham, made a most able and statesmanlike speech for tlie bill. The vote was nearly a party one, with two or three exceptions. Sj:,v\'L'i:.—On motion of Air. Lawton, of Dougherty, the Senate reconsidered the action relating to the bill lost yesterday, adding an additional section to tlie Idtli division of the Penal Code of this State. Hilts on their Vattsat/ 1.- —A bill lo endow the Southern Botauico-Medieal College at Macon with tj5,000. Passed. A rill to allow trustees to make the same re turn as executors, administrators and guardi ans. Slighly amended and passed. A bill to require all banks, having agencies, ! to redeem notes of the same, to prevent them from discounting bonds, notes, Ac., above a certain per cent. The Committee to whom the bill was rel'cr cd ottered a substitute. Dr. Screven proposed an amendment to the substitute, which applies the restrictions to the agencies of foreign banks. The Doctor made tho first lengthy speech he has delivered this session, and I must say, it is one of the soundest, calmest, most augunieutalivo efforts made in the Senate, i He manifested a perfect acquaintance with every circumstance that could elucidate truth | and throw light upon the matter. The bill, I he thought, would act detrimentally on our own banking institutions, and perhaps stop the transaction of business at their agencies, thus materially inconveniencing the citizens of inte rior Georgia. Ilis amendment was to prevent the abuse <>f foreign agencies, without crip pling our own institutions. Judge Cone, of Greene, >poke iu reply to Dr. Screven, and indulged in much humor in the course ol’ his remarks, lie considered these Bank Agencies as injurious, anil the most binding restrictions should he put upon them. They benefitted the Banks that had established them and injured the county in which they were located. This lie considered as legislating for the interest of one section to the detriment of another, and hence ho oppo sed it. Nearly the whole afternoon was taken up by the consideration of this bill, which was finally lost. After Dr. Screven’s amendment was lost, he directed his energies against the Bill, and its defeat may in a groat degree lie attributed to his exertions. Tlie origin of the name Canada is curious enough. The Spaniards visited the country previous to the French, aud made particular searches for gold and silver ; and finding none they often said among themselves, “ At/iti mt'ht, (there is nothing here.) The Indians, who watched closely, learned this sentence and its meaning. After the departure of the Spaniards, tlie French arrived: nnd the In dians, who wanted none of their company, sup posed they were also Spaniards come on the same errand, and anxious to inform them that their labor was lost by tarrying in that country, incessantly repeated the Spanish sen tence, “ A</ttt noth. Tho French, who knew as little ot Spanish as the Indians, supposed this incessantly recurring sound was the name of the country, and gave it the name oft’anada. which it has borne ever since.

No mail had arrived from the United States since the arrival at Liverpool of the Atlantic. 1 Nothing of interest had been received from the Crimea or Asia Minor. Tlie last docks at Se vastopol had been destroyed. Prince Paskie witch is dead. Peace progresses favorably. An armistice will lie concluded to last probably until tho end of March. It is said that it will be confined to land operations. The preliminaries of a i protocol were signed at Vienna, first by the representatives of Franco, England and Tur key, Russia and Austria agreeing to open the j Confe. ence in Paris within three weeks. It | was rumored, but not generally credited, that . Lord Clarendon would be tlie English Pleni ; poteutiary, and that tlie Emperors of Russia j and Austria would visit Paris during the Con ference. There was considerable excitement in Eug j land respecting the probability of a war with 1 the United States. Lord Palmerston had | promised to lay part of the Central American | Correspondence before Parliament. It was j reported that Mr. Buchanan had demanded i his passports. The English papers, however, | arc silent respecting the difficulty said to have j occurred between this gentleman and Lord Clarendon, but it is reported that the latter | had spoken in tho most imperious manner, j which conduct Air. Buchanan promptly check ;ed by closing the interview. Mr. Buchanan’s - absence Irom Lord Palmerston’s Soiree is at ■ tributed to this cause. The general tone of the Government Press is insulting to the Uni- I tel States, but the feeling of the people is j friendly. The Liverpool Chamber of Com ■ incrce deprecate the idea of an American war. ; Matters, however, seem critical. The Derby : party intend to bring forward a motion before Parliament on the subject of the omission of all allusion to the United States in the Queen’s speech. France and England are about to send Envoys to Brazil to influence heron Cen j tral American affairs. By the Asia. i Tho Liverpool cotton market closed quiet, j The sales during Hie week comprised 58,000 : bales, of which speculators took 10,000 and exporters 11,000 bales, leaving 87,000 bales |of all descriptions to the trade. Fair Orleans was quoted at Odd., Middling Orleans fitfifd., Fair Uplands at OJd., and Middling Uplands ; at 5 11-ltkl. ihe peace plenipotentiaries were beginning i to assemble in Paris. Sir Henry Bulwer had offered to mediate be tween Mr. buchannu aud Lord Clarendon. In the House of Commons, Lord Palmerston au j trounced that the correspondence on Central American affairs would he laid before l’arlia | meat when completed. Mr. Haillie postponed I Ids motion in relation to the enlistment of | soldiers in the U nited States until the corres pondence should be published. The latest ; advices received at Liverpool by telegraph from London, on thoOth inst., state that the Lon don limes ot that date censures the course taken by the English and American Cabinets, and, after remarking that even humanity must have limits, concludes by snyin” : ; “We areas desirous of peace as Air.

Hell, of Graniteville, whois engaged in recruit ing a band of Kansas colonists aud pioneers on behalf of tlie South, is meeting in great part the success due to his energy and zeal in a Vortliy cause. Ilolias Selected as his First Lieutenant a young Charlestonian wlioso en terprizc and qualifications will render him a valuable coadjutor, and who has elicited a considerable amount ol aid in contributions to the cause. Jt is expected also that Charles ton city and District will furnish fcgood quota of per mol to the company, as Capt. 801 l has the nearest recruiting depot. It j s desir. and and intended that the enlistment should be composed exclusively of young citizens of such calling, occupations and habits as will make efficient pioneers and actively contributing citizens in the interests and necessities of a new settlement. I’he terms and particulars of enlistment are perhaps familiar to all readers, as the plan of Maj. Buford, under which (’apt.
