The .Montgomery Advertiser says, that its
warning in reference to au infringement on its
copyright for publishing Gov. Winston s Ve
toes was only made jocular ly, and that it wants
no other copyright than a right to copy the
Vetoes from the journals. Wo still adhere to
our opinion, however, that if originality enti
tlns an author to u copyright, Gov. Winston or
his assignee is clearly entitled to a copyright
for these rare State papers.
A Shanghai hen near Portsmouth, Va., Jias
laid an egg, through the half-transparent shell
of which could be read the inscription, intide,
“Fever will not return 1856”! The editor of
the Norfolk Herald has seen the egg, which
was sent to him by Mr. Perry, the owner of
the hen. There wore a number of Chinese
characters on the inside of the shell, hut these
were probably some Shanghai lays, and were
not intelligible to the good people about Nor
folk. It is not recorded that Wyman had been
in that neighborhood; neither had the “fool-
Idller”—that’s evident.
We notice that the Western papers generally
arc already predicting a very large wheat crop
tliis year. They estimate that a larger amount
than usual lias been planted, and they regard
the snow that has so long covered the ground
as a great help to the crop. The Chicago
Journal estimates the value of the snow, as a
fertilizer and protection to the crop, ns equal
to live inches of manure.

The Atlanta Intelligencer thinks that the
New England delegation to the Democratic
National Convention will be almost unani
mously for the re-election of President Pierce.
.Should this be the case, the probability is that
he will command nearly or quite a two-thirds
vote, for it is understood that most of the
Southern delegates as yet appointed are also
for him.
Significant.
The French Journal ties Debuts has an article
designed to show that uji to the present time
the interests and purposes of France and Krig-
Ifind have been identical: but that if the war
continues in the Baltic or in Asia, it will only
subserve the private interests of England.—
The inference is, that if the Allies have to
carry on the war, in the opinion of the French
editor, the interests of France will he subserv
ed by an expedition against Poland or some
other vulnerable part of the Russian territory,
and that France is not particularly desirous
either for a campaign in Asia to protect Bri
tish India and the overland route thither, or
for giving her ally an opportunity to retrieve
by naval victories in the Baltic her reverses
before Sevastopol. The opinion is gaining
ground that the discussions in the Conference
at Paris will disclose conflicting aims and poli
cy between these powers, and that at its close
the union between them will not by any means
be as cordial and sincere as it has heretofore
been regarded.
The Politicians in a Row.
The American Council and Convention at
Philadelphia have been several times reported
to he in a state of great excitement and con
fusion. In tiie former body, after the adop
tion of a substitute for the l‘2th section of the
platform of 1855, the “wildest excitement’
pervaded the Southern delegations, and many
of their members withdrew. In the Nomina
ting Convention, when it became apparent that
the majority was for Fillmore, we are inform
ed by telegraph, the delegates from Connecti
cut, Rhode Island, Ohio and Massachusetts,
and a part of the delegates from Illinois,
lowa and Pennsylvania, seceded. The North
ern wing of the party appear to have carried
their point in the Council, while the Southern
party triumphed in the Convention; and the
probability is, that in the Southern States
many members will repudiate the platform
hut adhere to the candidates, while in the
North numbers will “ignore” the candidates
but stick to the platform. It is impossible as
yet to pronounce what effect the action of the
two bodies will have upon the strength id’ the
party as a national organization.
The Ariel Murder Case.
The trial of Lakeman, the first mate of the
Ariel, for the* murder ot her captain, is still in
progress in Charleston, and lias occupied
many days. The Standard of the 2(>th iust.
dates that rumors were rife that Anderson
(the boy first tried and acquitted, and who had
been permitted to leave the city) had uiado
important disclosures, which wore “ greatly
calculated to change the feeling with which
parties implicated wev -. a short time since, re
garded.” The Standard is well assured that
these reports are true, and that the confes
sions of Anderson will be used in case the
cause of justice should require it.

The papers of the towns on the Ohio river
are anticipating a great flood from the melting
of the ice aud snow, and they are urging per
sons on the hanks of the stream to use all
available precautions to lessen the amount of
injury that must ensue.

Mob Law in Illinois.
On the 15th inst., a large crowd assembled
at Charlestown, Illinois, to witness the execu
tion of a man who had been condemned to
death for the murder of his father-in-law.
But before the hour set for the execution, a
respite from the Governor arrived, extending
the prisoner’s term of life ninety days; upon
hearing whicli the mob became much excited,
aud finally a portiou of them broke open tho
jail, brought out the prisoner, and hung him
from the branch of a tree. The sheriff was
unable to withstand them, but has since ar
rested several of the leaders.
The impression prevails at Milledgeville, we
learn, that the Legislature will conclude its
labors and adjourn on Saturday next.
Tint.er News from Califorr in.
The steamship Daniel Webster, which arri
ved at New Orleans on Monday, brings later
dates from the Pacific coast. There had been
considerable rain in California, and the pros
pects of the farmers; were considered good;
minors’prospects also regarded as excellent.—
The Legislature had not been able to elect a
Putted States Senator, and it was believed
that no election could be effected during this
session. Tlx-Gov. Foote was the Know-Noth
ing nominee. Messrs, banders and Hammond,
former collectors of the port of San Francisco,
had both been indicted for embezzling the
public funds.
No more fighting with the Indians in Oregon
was reported.
It was stated that all the Central American
States except Nicaragua liad formed an alli
ance; also that Col. Kinney had gone to Gran
ada to effect an alliance with Walker. Should
these reports prove to be correct, it will no
doubt turn out that European intluenee
lias been at work to prejudice and combine the
other States against Nicaragua, and that Kin
ney ami Walker, hitherto rivals and .jealous of
ench other, see that they must act together
against acommon enemy. In this contingency,
our Federal authorities will have to be very
busy and active to restrain American adventu
rers from going to the aid of their late coun
trymen. We arc convinced that the foothold
obtained by our people in Nicaragua will not
only be maintained, but advanced, and that the
republic regenerated by them will soon attain
a commanding position in that quarter.

The New American Platform.
We have received by mail an authentic copy
of the new Platform adopted by the Know-
Nothing National Council at Philadelphia, but
as we find that our report of it, given last
week, was entirely correct, and indeed a ver
batim copy of the most important sections, we
do not deem it necessary to re-publish it now.
A correspondent of the Washington American
Organ thus gives the vote upon its adoption:
“New York gave an unanimous vote for it,
i saving and excepting that extraordinary man,
! Mr. barker. Nearly half the Pennsylvania
; members voted for it. Governor Johnston and
his followers voted in the negative. New Jer
| sey and Delaware voted unanimously in its
favor. Five national members from Massa
chusetts voted for it, and eight ultra men
from that State against it. Louisiana was
equally divided. Ohio, with Gov. Ford in the
lead, gave nineteen votes against the platform.
Four conservatives from that State voted in the
affirmative. The only delegate from Florida
(Ex-Governor Call) voted in its favor. He is
a thoroughly national man. Maryland gave
five votes for, and three against it. Tennessee
gave nine votes for, and three votes against it.
Kentucky stood seven for, and five votes
against it. North Carolina was divided, and
Virginia was unanimous against, the platform.”

Russian Circular Accepting Peace.
The following is a translation of the circular
issued by the Russian Government to its di
plomatic agents, in which it announces the
acceptance of the Austrian proposals. This
document is dated St. Petersburg, Jan. 10.
“ Public opinion in Europe lias been strong
ly excited by the intelligence that propositions
of peace concerted between the allied powers
and Austria had been transmitted to St. Peters
burg through the intervention of the cabinet
at Vienna.
“ Already the imperial cabinet, upon its
side, had made a step in the path of concilia
tion, by pointing out, in a despatch bearing
date the 11 th (23d) of December, published in
all the foreign journals, the sacrifices which
it was prepared to make, with a view to the
restoration of peace.
“This two-fold proceeding proved the exis
fence on either side of a desire to profit by the
compulsory cessation imposed by the rigor
of the season on the military operations in or
der to respond to the unanimous wishes which
were everywhere manifested in favor of a
speedy peace.
“In the despatch cited above tlie imperial
government had taken for basis the four points
of guarantees admitted by the conferences at
Vienna, and had proposed with regard to the
third point, which had alone led to the rup
ture of the conferences, a solution which dif
fered rather in form than in substance from
the one put forward at that epoch by the allied
powers.
The propositions transmitted to-day by the
Austrian government speak of the same fun
damental proposition—that is to say, the neu
tralization of the Black Sea by a direct treaty
between Russia and the Forte, to regulate by
common agreement the number of ships of war
which each of the adjacent Powers reserves
the right of maintaining for the security of its
coast. They only differ appreciably from
those contained in the despatch of the lltli
(23d) December, by the proposal for rectifying
the frontier between Moedavia and Bessarabia,
in exchange for the places on the Russian
Territory, in the actual occupancy of the ene
my.
“This is not the place to inquire if these pro
positions unite the conditions necessary for in
suring the repose of the East and the security
of Europe, rather than those of the Russian
government. It is sufficient here to establish
the point that at last an agreement lias been
actually arrived at on many of the fundamental
bases for peace.
“ Due regard being had to this agreement,
to the wishes manifested by the whole of Eu
rope, and to the existence of a coalition the
tendency of which was every day to assume
larger proportions, and considering the sacri
fices which a protraction of the war imposes
upon Russia, the Imperial Government lias
deemed it its duty not to delay by accessory
discussions a work, the success of which would
respond to its heartfelt wishes.
“ It has, in consequence, just given its ad
hesion to the propositions transmitted by the
Austrian Government ns a project of prelimi
naries for negotiations for peace.
“ By the energy of its attitude in the face of
a formidable coalition, Russia bus given a
measure of the sacrifices which she is prepar
ed to make to defend her honor and dignity ;
by this act of moderation the Imperial Gov
ernment gives at the same time anew proof
of its sincere desire to arrest the effusion of
blood, to conclude a struggle so grievous to
civilisation and humanity, and to restore to
Russia and to Europe the blessings of peace.
“ It has aright to expect that the opinion
of all civilized nations will appreciate the act.”

GEORGIA LEGIHLiATTIRE.

Monday, Feb. 25.
1 am gratified to be able to announce to yon,
that the assurance made in my note of Friday
evening, in relation to the success of the At
lantic and Gulf Railroad, has been realized to
day, by its triumphant passage through the
Senate. A number of motions were made to
amend the bill, but none of them were agreed
to. The only one which seemed to recom
mend itself to the Senate was one providing
for the representation of the State in the board
of direction- -but as was announced by Mr.
Spalding, it was contemplated to introduce a
joint resolution: to accomplish this, which
was done this evening, Mr. Spalding offered a
resolution providing that the Governor for the
time being shall east the vote of the State of
Georgia as a stockholder in the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad, at all elections of directors and
at all meetings of stockholders.
Sknati;. —An unsuccessful attempt was made
to reconsider the action of the Senate of Sat
urday, relating to the bill restricting Bank
agencies in this State.
Mr. Pope communicated the fact, that the
Senate had yet sixty of their own, and two
hundred House bills requiring action, and it
would lie advisable to dispense with reconsid
erations for the future.

A bill appropriating SI,OOO to fixing the
Capitol, and leaving the question of re-con
struction or reiuovaltothcpeoplc. Mr. Brown

$7,500 to repairing the Capitol. Mr. l’opc
offered an amendment striking out $7,500 and
inserting SIO,OOO, and also au additional sec
tion, appropriating $5,000 to repairing the
Executive Mansion. He withdrew the first
amendment, however, upon the request of Mr.
Brown, who stated that $7,500 would be suffi
cient, the point having been decided by com
petent persons, The section was added and
the substitute of Mr. Brown passed by a vote
of 72 ayes, to 10 nays.
A bill to appoint a Commissioner for the
Green and Pulaski Monument Lottery. Lost.

bitration, and providing the mode of settling
the same. A bill making public profanity
penal, Ne., and a Bill confering on the Justices

Peace.
The Senate amendments to the Bill of the
House appropriating a sum of money for the
completion of the Lunatic Asylum were con
curred in; also to the Bill relative to the re
moval or re-construction of tiie State Capitol.
This amendment demolishes the original bill
with the exception of its title, and appropri
ates seven thousand dollars for the purpose of
repairing the present building.
A number of unimportant bills of the Senate
were passed.
A Timely Warning.
Extract of aii official letter from Air. Maicy
to Mr. Crauipton, dated April 20, 1854, one
| month after the declaration of war in Europe:
•• The undersigned is directed by the Presi
dent to state to her Majesty’s minister to this
government, that the United States, while
claiming the full enjoyment of their l ights as
a neutral power, will observe the strictest neu
trality towards each and all the belligerents.
The laws of this country impose severe rc
! strictions not only upon its own eitizens, but
i upon all persons who may be residents within
| any of the territories of the United States,
; against equipping privateers, receiving com
i missions, or enlisting men therein, for thepur
| pose of taking part in any foreign war.
It is not apprehended that there will be any
attempt to violate the laws; but should the
just expectation of the President be disappoint
ed, lie will not fail in his duty to use all the
power with which lie is invested to enforce
obedience to them. Considerations of interest
and tiie obligations of duty alike give as
j suranee that the eitizcns'of the United States
will in no way compromit the neutrality of
their country by participating in the contest
I in which the principal powers of Europe arc
now engaged.”
11 was in the face of this notice that the
British government, through the agency of
Mr. Crumpton himself, proceeded to parcel out
the United States into recruiting districts, and
for a period of six months to continue “enlist
ing men” in defiance of all the counteracting
efforts and remoust ranees of the local officers
lof the United States.— H'ac/t. Union.

Revolting Murder.
A most brutal murder was committed near
this city on the Houston road, on the IStliinst.,
upon the person of an old and trusty negro
i man, named Sam West, well known to and
much respected by our citizens. He was a
wagoner, ami on his return home, had camped
for the night. He was found next day with
Ids head split open with his own axe. The
blow fell near the temple, lie had upon his
person money, the amount not known. A man
by the name of Thomas Sorril lias been arrest
ed as the suspected murderer, and after a pre
liminary examination before a Justices’ Court,
has been committed. Upon him was found
some of the negroes’ apparel.— Macon Messenger.
Gone to Bed in a Snow Bank.
Between It and 10 o’clock at night a person
passing near tiie head of the turnpike saw a
man, undressed with the exception of liis shirt,
lying asleep in a snow bank. His garments
had boon carefully taken off and were scat
tered all about him. He was found to be a
resident of the neighborhood, who had got so
far homeward, in a drunken condition, and,
supposing himself to be snug in his own cham
ber, had taken off his clothes and gone to bed.

A Reason.
A lady walking a few days since on one of
the wharves in Yasked a sailor whom
she met, why a ship was called “she.” The
son of Neptune replied that it was “because
the rigging costs more than the hull.”

Advices from Kansas to the 14th inst., have
been received. The Kickapoo Rangers threat

The Philadelphia Convention.
Philadelphia, Feb. 25.
The resolution declaring that the Convention
had no right to prescribe a platform opposing
the nomination of any candidate not in favor
of the Missouri Compromise was lostby a large
majority. The Convention then was about to
proceed to nominate, and Mr. Fillmore’s pros
pects were apparently in the ascendant, when
the delegates from Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, a part of Illinois, lowa ancl
Pennsylvania seceded.

Congressional.
Washington, Feb. 25.
The .Senate adopted a resolution, calling for
all the correspondence on the British Enlist
ment question, with the evidence deemed ne
cessary to show the connection of British agents
with the violation of our neutrality laws.
Jones spoke on Kansas Question. Nothing
done in the House.
♦
It is stated as an additional item of news
concerning the peace negotiations, that Prince
Gortschakoff, when signing the protocol at
Vienna accepting the propositions, demanded
that Prussia should be invited to take part.
Count Bind supported the demand, but Bor
quency and Sir 11. Seymour wished to refer
to their governments.
Defective Orthography.
Tiie following is tiie exact spelling of the
superscription of a letter, which a day or two
since was dropped in the postoffice at Middle
boro’ : “Abell llychmun Ilalleighphacks
Mass.” Strange to tell, it reached the one
for whom it was intended, Abel Richmond,
Halifax.
.
Would have the Reason.
On Tuesday last Mr. John Roe prosecuted
his shop mate, Robert Loud, for an assault and
battery. While tiie complainant was under
examination the following colloquy took place
between him and the defendant’s counsel:
“ Did you not call my client here, and de
fendant, a fool ?”
“ I did.”
“ Why did you sir?”
“ l decline to answer that quostion.”
•* Why do you decline it ? I’ll appeal to the
court to punish you for your contumacy. You
I ought to he fined for contempt. I’ll let you
know that you can’t call my client a fool, with
out giving your reasons for it.”
‘.I don’t know that my reasons have anything
to do with the case.”
“ I’ll let you know they have. Now answer
the question.”
“ Well if 1 must, I must. 1 said 1 thought
lie was a fool, because lie didn’t know better
than to hire such a chucklehead as you to de
fend him.”
The counsel dropped the witness and let the
question of contempt pass.
Taxing the Oysters.
Gov. Hiseiu a late message transmitting
certain documents from the Board of Public
Works, recommends an increase of the revenue
of Virginia, by a tax of- one cent per bush
el upon oysters taken from the Virginia shores
for exportation. He says about twenty-seven
millions of bushels are taken away every year,
only one-sixth of which are carried in Virginia
bottoms. At the valuation they bear where
taken, (twenty cents per bushel) they were
worth $5,400,000, and the proposed tax would
yield $270,000. per annum, inclusive of the
cost of collection. He says that hands engag
ed in this business earn from two to ten dollars
daily.
