IiARUUtiT CITY CIRCULATION.
Our river lias fallen very last since Sunday,
and is now six or eight feet lower than it was
on tin* evening of that day. 1 l*o steamer Os
wichce arrived from Apalachicola on Monday
afternoon, and the Tampa early yesterday
morning.
We owe thanks to most of our Congressional
delegation, ami especially to Hon. M. J. Craw
ford, for their favors. Senator Toombs has
oTi'r thanks for a copy of his late able address
on slavery, delivered at Huston.
The Present State ol Affairs in Kansan.
The Infest news from Kansas assures us of
the intention of tlie pro-slavery party there
and in the Missouri border counties to make
no aggressive movement, but quietly to await
tho expected conflict between the revolutiona
ry government and the legal one backed by the
Federal authorities. This determination speaks
well for our friends in Kansas and Missouri,
and proves that they never did contemplate or
countenance violence, except in defence of
their rights. Tho attempts of the hirelings of
the Frecsoil Aid Societies to drive them from
the Territory were resisted with a spirit be
coming Southern men, to whom the Terri
tory was open by the Constitution and the
laws of Congress. Having succeeded in this,
and having thus forced the aggressive Free
soilcrs to resort to a more flagrant viola
tion of law and order to sustain their ex
elusive pretensions, the friends of the South
now do well to surrender to the proper
authorities the duty of quelling the rebellion
of the abolitionists—for to this point they
have carried their plot. Should the Govern
ment falter or fail, it will then be time enough
for Southern men to assert by their own strong
arms their right to settle there with their
property unmolested.
But in the meantime the nece£Htty for prompt
ami extensive emigration from the Southern
States is as urgent as ever. Our friends,
having defeated the rinlent schemes of the
Eroesoilers, must again out note them, or they
may yet carry their point. This the South
can easily do, hy a littloexortion and patriotic
enterprise. The spirit is now up among our
people; young men willing to emigrate are
not wanting; the meanx to furnish and trans
port them are alone to he provided. We re
joice to see that in this respect our people arc
becoming more liberal. ‘There is now no
doubt of the success of Mnj. Buford’s enter
prise, and wc believe that one or two large
companies will also be soon made up in South
Carolina, and perhaps several in other South
ern States. The ball is now moving in the
right direction, and we have only to keep up
its momentum ami it will reach the point de
sired. Come up to the work like patriotic
men, ami Kansas is surely ours.
The Enlistment Difficulty.
The President has communicated to Con
gress the correspondence that lias taken place
between our Government and Great Britain, in
reference to the British attempt to recruit sol
diers for their army in the United States.
Tho correspondence on tho subject is very
voluminous, but wc find in our exchanges a
synopsis of its points which we will copy to
morrow. In the meantime, wo will state that
it appears from this correspondence that Mr.
Marcy, on the 28tli December last, instructed
Mr. Buchanan to ask the British Government
to recall Minister Crumpton and Consols Row
croft at Cincinnati, Matthew at Philadelphia,
and Barclay at Now A ork, for their agency in
the matter. Mr. Buchanan, in a subsequent
letter, reports having read this letter of Mr.
Marcy to Lord Clarendon, but bis Lordship’s
reply to the demand for the recall of his Min
ister and Consols does not yet appear.
In connection with this matter, we remark
that a dispatch from Washington to the Balti
more Bun declares the rumor that the Presi
dent had determined to dismiss Mr. Crumpton
immediately, and that a letter for that pur
pose had been written, to be entirely unfoun
ded. It turther says, that tiie ultimate de
termination of the Administration on that sub
ject may depend on the tenor of the next for
eign advices, unless Mr. Crampton is previous
ly withdrawn.
The Union states tlmt Mr. Toombs, wltcu lie
replied to Unto in the Senate last week, was
so loudly applauded from the galleries that it
almost became necessary to have them cleared.
Hale bitterly assailed the Administration for
its course in reference to Kansas and other
matters involving the question of slavery, and
Mr. Toombs warmly defended it from his as
persions.
Fearful Steamboat Explosion.
The boilers of the steamboat ltelle, running
between Sacramento and Marysville, Califor
nia, exploded on the Mli ult., on the Sacra
mento river, killing nearly one half of her pas
sengers and crew. She had on board about
sixty persons, and the steamer lien, lledding
ton, which went to her assistance, brought off
only thirty-two or three, many of them badly
injured. It was a most startling and horrible
calamity, of which full particulars have not
yet been received. This report was brought
by the Daniel Webster.
An Important Movement.
On Tuesday of last week, the House of Dele
gates of Virginia, having declared by pream
ble that the Fugitive Slave Law at the North
is a nullity, and that it is the duty of the Fed
eral Government to compensate owners for
losses resulting from the escape of slaves,
adopted a resolution instructing the Senators
and Representatives in Congress from the State
to secure the passage of a law making full
compensation to owners for all slaves which
luivo escaped, or may hereafter escape. We
like this better than the Kentucky proposition
to tax the slaveholders of the State to pay for
a patrol along the Ohio river. But it would
still fall short of doing justice to the South,
because the Southern people, as well as the
slave-stealing community, would be taxed to
make up for the damages resulting from the
rascality and lawlessness of the latter.
The American Nominations.
We have carefully noted all tho expression.-
of opinion by the newspapers throughout the
country, and tiie sentiment *f the few political
meetings held since the nominations, and we
come to the conclusion that the action of the
Know-Nothing Council and Convention at Phil
adelphia will be sustained by nearly the whole
body of the “ National” order throughout the
Union, and by a portion at lcastof those Whigs
who have recently been calling for a re-organ
ization of their old party, in our own State, so
l'ar as wc have had an opportunity of ascer
taining, the entire Know Nothing press sus
tains the nominations, and the Democratic
press in a body opposes them, i lie Macon
Citizen protests strongly against the nomina
tion of Donelson, ami i not well satisfied with
Fillmore. The Columbia(S. C.) Times, which,
wc believe, is an American paper, repudiates
both Fillmore and Donelson very decidedly
The Chattanooga (Tcun.) Gazette is highly
gratified at the nomination ol Mr. Fillmore,
and will support Donelson, but takes him as a
“bitter pill.” The National Intelligencer, the
central organ of the old Whig remnant, hails
the nomination of Mr. Fillmore with much
satisfaction, and speaks flatteringly of Major
Donelson, but intimates that the nomination
of Dawson, of Georgia, or Rives, of Virginia,
on tho ticket with Fillmore, would bo more
acceptable. Wo have already noticed that the
Alabama Journal, another “old line” Whig
paper responds approvingly to the nomination
of Fillmore, but makes “wry faces” (which
the Major ought not to do, inasmuch as “ex
tras” do not help his good looks) at Donelson.
We presume that the two papers last mention
ed reflect (the aforesaid wry “extras” inclu
ded) very faithfully tho general expression of
the “never surrender” Whigs of the whole
country.
We stated yesterday that the American State
Council at Canandiagua, New York, unani
mously ratified the nominations. In this
meeting the President of a Buffalo Council,
who was present, put to rest the mooted ques
tion whether Mr. Fillmore was a member of
the order, by declaring that he was present
when the Ex-President was initiated and “put
through” the several degrees.
We cut the following telegraphic items from
our exchanges:
Ai.uaxy, Thursday, Feb. UN.
‘The “American” members of the Legisla
ture held a meeting at the Capitol last even
ing. Nearly every member belonging to the
Order was present, together with a majority of
the .State officers. Air. Odell presided, and
speeches wyro made by Messrs. Odell, Nor
tlirup, I’rescott and others, all of whom de
clared that Air. Fillmore was not their choice,
but that they would give their hearty support
to the nomination, as the action of the “Amer
ican” party, and would work earnestly for the
success 6f the candidates. Resolutions to that
effect were sigmed by all the members, and a
call is to be issued for a grand ratification
meeting. Fifty-eight persons were present,
and no dissenting voice.
Boston, Thursday, Feb. 28.
The Bee, which is the organ of the Ameri
can party and the official journal of the State,
hoists the Fillmore and Donelson flag this
morning. The Charlestown Advertiser docs
the same. The Journal speaks favorably of
the nominations.
The New York Herald thinks that the effect
of the action of the National Council and nom
inations made will be to dissolve or disrupt the
party, to drive the great body of the Northern
wing over to the Black Republicans, and to
cause the defeat of the Know-Nothings through
out the North. It thinks that Fillmore and
Donelson will probably carry only the three
States of Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky.
Central Bank of Tennessee.
From the subjoined card, it will be seen,
says the Nashville Banner, of first March, that
the “Central Bunk,” for the reasons therein
stated, stopped payment yesterday. Os the
amount of tho present outstanding circulation
wo have no data upon which to form an esti
mate. Its paper lias been rapidly and steadi
ly Rowing in upon it for redemption, since the
Banks of this place, several weeks ago, declin
ed longer to receive it.
Central Bank m Tennessee, [
Nashville, Feb. 20, 1851*. t
In consequence of the summary proceedings
in the Legislature yesterday, repealing the
charter of this Bank, it is deemed prudent by
its Directors to suspend all business foj- the
present. Holders of its notes are requested
not to sacrifice them, as immediate steps will
be taken to test the validity of (he act. By
order of the Board.

A young American named Lycurgus l>iu
moml is now engaged, in New Orleans, in
walking for a wager of $1,500 that he can
walk 338 miles in 338 half hours. He com
menced on the 28th ult., and on tlmt day did
not try to average more than his mile in each
half hour, which he accomplished.
♦
in the Mississippi Legislature, a day or two
since, Mr. Stark called up liis resolutions
touching the Presidential election of 1856.
They declare that if all the national conven
tions refuse to nominate Presidential candi
dates, who are sound on the slavery question,
it is proper for the people of the State, irres
pective of party, to meet in primary assemblies
and send delegates to a State convention to
nominate an electoral ticket, pledged to vote
for men who recognise the constitutional rights
of the South. They also invite other Southern
States to unite in a similar movement. A day
was fixed for their consideration.
The Union states that Postmaster General
Campbell has adopted a plan for publishing
the names of persons to whom letters have
been sent to post offices in California and the
territories of Oregon and Washington. By
this system a letter can be scut to any post
office in the Pacific region for a person whose
location is utterly unknown, beyond the mere
fact that lie is some where in California or the
territories of Oregon and Washington: yet,
incredible as it may seem, the ultimate recep
tion of the letter hy the person for whom it is
intended is rendered highly probable.
Torture in India.
Kumurs having from time to time reached
England, that the tax gatherers in British In
dia wore iu the habit us putting tho natives to
the most frightful torture, iu order to extort
from them the annual tax to which they arc
subjected, a committee was appointed by the
House of Commons, to investigate the matter,
chiefly through the pertinacity of Bright, Ai.
I*. for Manchester, who would Hot let the mat
ter rest. The Commissioners have now pub
lished their report, which fully verities the
darkest suspicions as to the fiendish cruelty
practiced on the poverty stricken Asiatics. —
The Edinburgh Review thus comments on the
subject:
The tortures which the commissioners find
to have been employed, arc of various kinds
ami of different degrees of severity. Some of
them are so light as to amount to little more
than a menace. Some are so severe as to
cause not only extreme present pain, but per
manent injuries, mutilation, and even, not uu
. frequently,’ death. Some of them exhibit an
amount of diabolical ingenuity on the part of
the torturer, and a degree of moral abasement
and degradation in the victim, of which our
western minds can hardly form a conception ;
some, iii fmo, are so loathsome and indecent,
and at the same time so excruciating, that,
although they arc set down nakedly in the Re
port, we must abstain from any specific allu
sion to their nature.
The two most common forms of torture ap
pear to be the Kiltie (in Tel oogoo called Clue rata)
and the Anundal , which, in the same language,
is called (Jingcri.
The kiltec corresponds with the thumbscrew
of the European torture. It is a wooden in
strument somewhat like a lemou-squcczcr, be
tween the plates of which the bauds, the
thighs (in woman also the breast), the ears
and other more sensitive parts of the body,
are squeezed to the last point of endurance,
often to fainting and oven to permanent disa
blement. In many places the kittec has been
superseded by the more simple plan of vio
lently compressing the hands under a fiat
board, on which a iioavy pressure is laid, some
times even by the peon standing upon it: or
compelling tiie sufferer to interlace his fingers,
and delivering him over to the iron gripe of
the peons (or policemen), who sometimes rub
their hands with sand in order to give them
the firmer gripe. In other cases the fingers
are bent back till’ the pain becomes unendura
ble.
The anundal is a more purely eastern tor
ture. It consists in tying the victim in a
stooping or otherwise painful and unnatural
position, generally with the head forcibly bent
down to the feet, by a rope or cloth passed
around the neck and under the toes. The pos
ture, however, is varied at the carpice of the
executor. Sometimes the poor wretch is made
to stand on one leg, the other being forcibly
tied up to his neck. Sometimes the arms and
legs arc curiously interlaced, and the frame,
thus violently distorted, is kept bound up for
hours, in a condition little short of dislocation.
Sometimes a heavy stono is laid upon the
back, while thus bent; and it often happens
that the peons amuse themselves by sitting
astride upon the unhappy sufferer who is un
dergoing anundal. More than one of the wit
nesses depose to tiie infliction of this torture
under the fierce Indian sun, upon a number of
defaulters placed together in rows, for two,
three, four, and even six hours ; and this in
the immediate vicinity of the cutcherry, or
revenue office, and in the presence of the tah
sildar, or native collector, of the assembled
villagers.
Will it be credited, for example, that it is
not uncommon to apply to the most sensitive
parts of the body (enclosed in a cloth or a
cocoa-nut shell, or other similar receptacle),
a biting insect or reptile, such as the pollali,
or carpenter-beetle, and to leave it to gnaw
the flesh of the miserable sufferer ? That by a
further refinement of cruelly, meant to com
bine both pain and humiliation, the defaulters
arc sometimes tied by their hair to tho tail of
a donkey or a buffalo ? That they are occa
sionally hung up with the head downwards ?
And that it is an ordinary practice to put pep
per or powder chillies into the eyes or the nos
trils, and to apply these and similar irritating
drugs in other ways too revolting to be even
hinted at?
Thus wc find an unforjumitc man, Nanguu
Chaloovun, subjected to the anundal, tortured
with the kittcc, and exposed to the burning
sun during four hours, in order to compel pay
ment of an illegal demand of ten annas (fifteen
pence)! Another Ryot, namedSinguriah, who
refused to pay the sum of one rupee four annas
(two shillings aiul sixpence), had his hands
tied behind his back and liis head bound, down
to his feet with a coir rope, for two hours.—
Nay, ia the terrible case of Vencatachclla Ra
jadlee, in which one of the parties actually
died from the effects of the violence employed,
the sum demanded was button rupees !
Duriug the session of the National Ameri
can Council in Philadelphia last week, Mr.
Burr, of New York, moved his original pro
position amid great confusion, ami proceeded
to advocate it at great length. In the course
of his remarks, he denounced Seward, Greeley
and Ward, and said that the North were not
all abolitionists. We have plenty of slaves in
New York city—poor, degraded creatures.
Cries—“ Why don’t you relieve them,” and
confusion.
Mr. Burr continued, and proceeded to show
the heartlessness and chicanery of the Seward
party. There was no honesty in it. They
took up every ism until they used it up. And,
when they were crying the loudest for temper
ance, they indulged in the most beastly drunk
enness at the Astov House. Why, 1 tell you,
gentlemen, that if all the champagne bottles
drained on that occasion were piled one upon
the other, they would reach nearer the gates of
heaven than these infernal scoundrels will ever
get. (Boars of laughter and shouts of ap
plause. )
We do not know whether “ Burr, of New
York,” is a relative of ours, but we do know
that he expresses our sentiments toward the
Seward party of New York. Burr, wo be
lieve, is a preacher, and was formerly a Hard
Shell Democrat.— Wilmington Herald.
We have been creditably informed (says the
Norfolk Herald,) that S. S. Summons, ]£sq.,
ot Hyde ccunty, North Carolina, has made an
assignment to his creditors. Mr. S. is exten
sively known through the eastern sections of
Virginia and North Carolina, Baltimore, and
generally to the commercial community of most
of the cities of the seaboard. It is said his lia
bilities are over half a million. lie owns some
thirty odd vessels, with which he has for many
years carried on a cargo trade with our port
and the ports of Baltimore, Philadelphia, and
others adjacent. He has always been repre
sented as a man of great wealth and integrity,
lie has three hundred slaves, several large
and fertile farms, and immense Juniper and
Cypress Swamps, lie was, perhaps, the larg
est shingle getter in North Carolina. All his
operations were on the largest scale.
The Lynchburg (Va.) Republican, a Demo
cratic paper, says that the vote of Virginia
will lie cast in the Cincinnati Convention for
either Buchanan hr Hunter.

Uoi ruHlioiuionce of the Charleston Standard.
Washington, Feb. 28.
The official dispatches received and opened
yesterday by the Department of State, have
not yet been made public ; but 1 find they are
nut only very important, but are considered
by the Administration as bringing matters to
an issue between the United States and Great
Britain. Yesterday, the President spent most
of the day closeted with Mr. Marcy and his
assistant, General Thomas; audit is under
stood that to-day the communications from Mr.
Buchanan will be laid before the Cabinet.
The Administration seem not to apprehend
really a war, although it is believed that the
present Ministry of England would not hesi
tate to hasten such an event, if they dared do
so. It is all bluster with the English press ;
let it sec dignity and firmness with ours. The
commercial cord between the two nations is
most delicately strong, and vibrates to every
touch of the newspaper press, To this fact
the British look as a lever in their hands to
sway public sentiment and create excitement.
Hence their blustering and swaggering. This
can be counteracted most successfully by the
! American press maintaining a dignified posi
tion, and treating the whole subject in a plain
common sense, straight forward way.
Tho President was exceedingly anxious that
the steamer which left New York yesterday
should have carried out the “Correspondence
on the Enlistment Question,” for the eye of the
European public, since the British Parliament
has lent itself to base purposes and endeavored
to place Mr. Buchanan in an unpleasant posi
tion by falsifying the record on this subject.—
The correspondence was called for by the Sen
ate on Monday, but it was found impossible to
get it copied and prepared for the press prior
to the sailing of the steamer yesterday.
The papers, however, will carry a nut for
our English friends to crack. The* message of
the President recommending an appropriation
of three million of dollars to brighten up 300,-
060 stands of arms, will astonish those who
imagined that Brother Jonathan was to be
alarmed by a foe he had several times whipped;
and when considered in connection with the
other important fact which will also reach
them, that a semi-official recommendation had
been made to construct fifteen additional war
steamers, some folks will begin to understand
tho further fact that about two-thirds of our
people, including the mighty West, are always
beuefitted by war, and that such will be the
sentiment of the American Congress. It is
well that we should furnish some spicy ingre
dients for their one sided war-fever excite
ments. Whether they will he enjoyed with a
zeal we shall learn in due time. Ivaxuok.
The Hog Trade.
Cincinnati, Feb. 26.—The Price Current of
this week gives the returns of the number of
hogs packed in one hundred and forty-five
place in the West, showing an increase in the
number ns compared with last year of 214,000:
and an increase in weight equal to 217,300. —
About 70 plaoes are yet to be heard from.—
The average increase in weight is twelve per
cent.
Weather mild, with indications of vain.—
The river is rising and the ice moving more
rapidly. No more damage lias been done to
boats.
A Good Rise.
The river is said to have risen fifteen feet at
this point. Recent rains found the stream in
good boating condition and the additions .of
water therefore had an immediate effect.—
