COLT7M TSTIS:
Friday Morning, Mki'i'li 1 > 18511*
L. AUGUST CITY CIBCWiATIOS.
The Rivers.
The rain* of Friday and Saturday Inst
brought up the Savannah river to (lie mark ot
t wcnty-two I’eet in tlie obannc). livery was
v rise in the Alabama river of some fifteen feet
at Montgomery, and eighteen or twenty leet
at Sclmn ; and below the latter town the wa
ter was running over many plantations. The
Itighec and Warrior rivers were also pretty
full the first part ol this week. The Tennes
see is at a line navigable stage. ‘l'hc Ohio was
much swollen, and was still rising slowly, ut
the latest accounts, lied river was na\ igable
to Shreveport for the largest class of boats on
the Kith ult. The Trinity, Brazos, and other
rivers of Texas, were at an excellent naviga
ble stage on the 25tli ult.
The probability is that most of the cottofi
from these important streams will be whipped
before the freshets above mentioned subside,
as planters and stovers have suffered too much
for the want of navigation within the last two
or three years to lose such an opportunity.
The Chattahoochee, at this place, is still
falling, but is full enough yet for good navi
gation. YVe learn that there is now lmt little
cotton for shipment on the river.
Sale of Stocks.
On the Itii inst. there were largo sales ol
stock in several incorporated companies of this
.State, at public outcry in Savannah. We
quote from tiie Republican of the sth the fol
lowing nccount of the sales—showing a very
high appreciation of the value of nearly all the
stocks disposed of :
Five shares of Marine Rank stock were sold
at SOB per share, for SSU paid in.
Twenty-six shares of Planter’s Brtiikbstoc!:
brought SOB, for SBO paid in.
Forty-one shares of Htate Rank slock sold
for slll, for SIOO paid in.
Thirteen shares of Central Railroad stock
brought SIOB, for SIOO paid in.
Ten shares of city (las stock brought S!SO,
for $25 paid in.
Ten shares in the Oglethorpe Loan Associa
tion brought $25.
Twelve shares of Augusta and Waynesboro
Railroad stock brought SBO, for SIOO paid in.
Hix and one quarter shares of Millcdgeville
and Gordon Railroad stock sold S7B, for 8100
paid in.

Geu. (Quitman, in a note to the Washington
Union, denies the truth of the statement that
he had declared lie would never report a bill
“for sending troops to Kansas to butcher
American citizens, whether of otloor the other
side of the question at issue.”
Tlio Penitentiary.
By an amendment inserted in the Peniten
tiary bill on the last day of the session of our
Legislature, it is provided that incase the lease
contemplated cannot be effected within one
year, then tho institution is to be removed to
the Stone Mountain, and the sum of $70,000
is appropriated to erect buildings ut that loca
tion, when such contingency occurs.
♦
The Tennessee Legislature has passed reso
lutions approving the Kansas act, and instruct
ing her delegation in Congress to oppose its re
peal. This is an endorsement of Jus. ('. Jones
who voted for it, and a censure of John Bell,
who opposod it.
Tho only item of interest (in addition to our
dispatch) in tho reports of the ‘Baltic’s nows
telegraphed to the Savannah papers, is a state
ment that a large l'oroc of English troops was
to be concentrated in Canada. This, if true,
is far from being an assurance that the British
Government expects to keep the peace with
this country.
-
The New York correspondent of the Phila
delphia Ledger states that the Know-Nothings
of New York intend to send a special mes
senger to Europe, by the first steamship, to
apprise Mr. Fillmore of his nomination and
consult with him about the future conduct of
the campaign.
♦ —.
The Legislature of Tennessee lias repealed
the charter of tho Miners’ and Manufacturers’
Bank at Knoxville, as well ns that of the Cen
tral Bank of Tennessee at Nashville. Both
were regarded as “wild eats.”
-* -
YVe are informed by European papers
brought out by the America, that the Batch
have concluded a treaty with the Japanese more
favorable than those made with the United
States and Great Britain. The Dutch appear
to have “taken” that country, ns well as Hol
land, having some how managed to exclude all
other nations from trade with the islands for
a century, and now going ahead of the fastest
and most powerful in obtaining additional
commercial advantages.
Another Contradiction!
The report by telegraph that the “bark
Bogart had seen tlu* Pacific, or some other
largo steamship, in a disabled condition, oil
the Banks of Newfoundland, turns out to be
an entire fabrication. Wo are now informed
that there is no such bark as the Bogart. We
would liko to know how it is that operators at
tho Telegraph ofliecs can be so often imposed
on in this way, and can never expose the per
petratorsof such silly and contemptible, hoaxes.
The explosion of this report leaves us with
out any intelligence in relation to the Pacific,
or any information that suggests even a defi
nite probability as to her situation or fate. As
time rolls on, the confidence of her sai'oty, at
first strongly entertained, grows daily weaker.

Defalcation in New Orleans.
Xkw Orleans, March !$.
OoE Garland, City Treasurer of this city, is
reported a defaulter to the amount of $200,-
dOO. lie attempted to escape in a schooner
bound to Belize, but was arrested and brought
back to the city. The Treasurer's office has
been closed by the Finance Committee. The
aflair lias caused much excitement.
From Washington.
Washington, Masch
In the Senate to-day a bill was passed au
thorizing the construction of ten steam sloops
of-war.
In the House the Deficiency bill was eonsid- ;
ered.
Tho Mails and the Postal byateru.
Again, yesterday, we ha Ino papers from
any point north or east of Georgia, and soiiie
of till- few exchanges we received were behind
time.
The mails have recently become utterly un
reliable; and we begin to think that the sug
gestion to transfer the whole matter “of trans
mission and delivery from the agency of an
arbitrary and irresponsible Government to ex-’
press companies made liable for fraud or neg
lect, is woi fcliy of serious consideration. Such
companies are now generally made the-media
of transmission aUd communication w 1 reliever
large sums of money or other valuables have
to be sent from one portion -of the country to
another, the loss of valuable letters sent by
mail has become so common, that ‘many per
sons and corporations prefer to pay the addi
tional charges of the private companies, who
are responsible for losses, rather than remit
through the Government chiiunels at a lgCrciy
nominal cost, and run the now fearful risk of
losing the whole amount mailed. But the
charges of such eonipatiiutf need not lie mueli
greater (if any) than those ol the I’ostottice,
if they are allowed to transport tlic whole mail
matter of tiie country, and to include in their
operation* all such exchanges and transporta
tion as they may deem consistent witli the dis
patch and punctuality required. Having a
larger business and interested local agents,
they could then make better arrangement*
: with the various railroad, steamboat and stage
i companies than tlic Government can, and be
i ing responsible,ttt the community for every tail
j ure or delinquency, they would make the pus
i tal system of the country secure and trust
worthy. YVe repeat, the suggestion is worthy
I of gtmoral consideration, and the details of
| such a system should be discussed and exam
j ined.
Should the system above suggested he found
! impracticable, or. only partially available,
| could not a plan of jioxtal inmruuci be adopted
by individual organization - .’ Wefeel confident
that insurance companies organized and con
ducted with a view to insuring the safe deliv
ery of valuable lut twit, would soon transact an
extensive anil profitable business Such com
j panics, too, would he active and valuable aids
to the Government- in fending out frauds and
bringing to light and punishment- dishonesty
and neglect.
The existing evils call aloud l'or remedy—
tlic regulation* of tile Department and the
watchfulness of the Government prove inade
quate-ami either a thorough reform or new
securities are demanded by the. interests of
the whole community.

Woman’s Bights in the Olden Time.
Moiiieof theearlicstiiotioosof boxing matches
upon record, singularly enough, took place
between combatants of tiie fair sex. in an
English journal of 1722, for instance, we find
the following gage of battle thrown down and
accepted :
Cmalm-inuk.— I, Elizabeth Wilkinson-, of
t Terkeuwidl, having had some w ords with
llannah Ilyfield, and requiring satisfaction,
do imitc her to meet me upon the stage, and
box mo for three guineas; each woman hold
ing half a crown in each hand, and the first
woman that drops the money to io.se the battle.
Answer.—-1, Hannah llytickl, of Newgate
Market, hearing of the resoluteness of Eliza
beth Wilkinson, will not fail, God willing, to
give her more blows than words, desiring home
blows, and from her no favor. She may ex
pect a good thumping!
The half-crown in tiie hands was an inge
nious device to prevent scratching !
The Panama Star gives the following sum
mary of tiie news from Peru :
Assassination and robberies appear to lie
getting quite common in Lima, and several
are reported in the papers.
Thu interior of Peru appears to be very
much agitated at present, and there is every
prospect of serious disturbances.
Complaints are also made of invasions of
savage tribes from Ecuador across the Amazon,
murdering the peaceful inhabitants of Bella
Vista, Mayobamba and its tributaries. It is
reported that many of the North American
emigrants who went from California and Aus
tralia to Peru syrnc eighteen months since in
gursuit ot gold on tlic Amazon, being disap
pointed in their hopes, and left without the
means of returning to the coast, have joined
these savages, and gained complete control
| over them, very much tn the terror of the
Peruvians, who fear that the superior energy
and talent of the North American race is like
ly to overrun find gain a predominating foot
hold in Peru as it has dene in Mexico and
California.

Mormon Immigration,
j The M-emeus who arrived in the ship .John
j J. Boyd, at t: is port, <>u the 15th instant, fire
J mostly Dan -but among them are several
Norwegians, Italians from the Protestant Val
ley of Piedmont, and two Icelanders. They
are stout, hearty looking people, with an ex
pression of intelligence above that of the ave
rage European immigrants. The greater num
ber are agriculturists, though the trades are
well represented. This shipload is said to he
only the forerunner of an immense Mormon
j immigration which we may look for next year.
1 The emissaries from Great Salt Lake are re
- ported to have been very successful in making
proselytes in Norway, Denmark and Switzer
land. In Denmark alone they have fifty tra
veling ministers, and several hundred local
elders. They meet with occasional opposition
from the municipal authorities in some places ;
but this, as is usually the ease, has only served
to excite tlm sympathy of the lower classes in
their favor. One member of the company by
the name ol John J. Boyd, was imprisoned
eight months, and subjected to many priva
tions, in a town in Denmark. It is estimated
that about. 10,000 converts will bo landed here
this season, mostly from the sources above
named. It is satisfactory to know that they
are all able to pay their passages here : tha t
they generally bring a little money iuto the
country, and do not become a charge to our
already over-burdened city. —Xne Void Jour

The Effect of Advertising.
A Now \ ork letter says :—Some wag adver
tised in a morning paper for a number of men,
with pickaxes, watch-slogs, terriers and pood
les, at the office ol Richard Bustcod, Esq., flic
lawyer. The consequence was a great crowd
of laboring men at the premises in question
inquiring l'or Mr. Bustoed. A similar visita
tion took place at the gentleman's private
residence, iii Madison avenue, an advertise
ment in another journal instructing the appli
cants to go there.’ The police, in the former
instance, were called in to disperse the crowd.

Mts.-rs. Editors; TiieGevrgiaLegislature has
at last adjourned after a-session ot ninety-luvir
days. This lias been the most interesting, us
well as the longest'session of the General As
sembly. .Many very important bills v/dre pats
i-d, and many lost; Among tho former may
be numbered the Atlantic and Gull Rail Read,
in which the State takes one million of dollar;
worth ‘of Stock. Mess!’*. A. *3. Lawsoit, bf

of leasing, which the friends of removal could
not gel over-; so tiny had to coQtpnt them

sloflo per annum. In a conversation with
Gen. Cone, lie remarked to me that he should
visit the Alabama Penitentiary, which is now
under lease, and ascertain how the system
works, and w’lmt amendments are necessary to
perfect the plan. The old General is tlic oldest
member of the Legislature, having served tiie
jieople of Bulloch for tiie last thirty years in
the General Assembly. He will make a good
commissioner, and will certainly do aH he can
to advonee the interests of the Htate'; su will

Several new banks have been chartered:
among tltc number is one for Savannah, to be
called tlie “Timber Getter's Bank ;” one in
your city ; one in Brunswick; one in Bain
bridge; and one in Hamilton. Among the
acts passed, of minor interest, to the .State at
large, but of great importance to persons en
gaged in the timber business, is ojie making
it penal for measurers to violate the provisions
of the act of 1851, requiring them to measure
the timber in the middle. The fine imposed
for violating this act is SSO0 —half to go to the
informer. There have been five new cotinties
made this session—Miller, Haralson, Berrien,
Colquitt and Towns —the latter made from
llabun and Union. There have been three
new judicial circuits made—Brunswick, Pa
lau! a, and one formed out of Floyd and other
counties.

Air. Stiles’ valedictory address was beautiful
anil classical, and delivered with much feeling.
He was very much liked as a presiding officer;
and from tlio hearty plaudits of those w ho dif
fer with him in political sentiment,’ as well as
tlfo-e who elevated him to the chair, I am con
vinced lie was not only impartial, but gave
general satisfaction.
Old father (Glia's valedictory was read from
the clerk’s desk, amid the clapping of hands,
and general hilarity, and ordered to lie enter
ed on the journal of tlio House—quite a com
pliment, and one well deserved. Mr. (>. has
been Messenger of tlic House for many years,
and if he is spared, no doubt he will be for
many yet to come.
\\ bile the tienato was waiting for the last
acts to lie enrolled, there was a general “Love
Feast.” Most of the Sen at ora were called out,
and many of theij’remarks were truly eloquent,
and all expressive of the kindest feelings for
each other. A motion was made to take a re
cess for twenty minutes, which, being carried,
Air. Fawbro’s song, composed a few days be
fore the adjournment, on the principal inci
dents of the session, was loudly called for, and
sung, amid rows of laughter. Home of the
hits were excellent. I hear it will be publish
ed ; if so, l will send you a copy.
flic sound of the President's gavel was
heard, the Senate came to order, and a mes
sage was received from the House of; Repre
sentatives, that they were ready to adjourn
s-ine die. (Jol. Bailey then addressed the Sen
ate in a tew feeling remarks ; and 1 could see
tears gather to liis eyes, while alluding to the
vacant seat of the lamented Aliller. Col. B.
then adjourned the Senate “without day,”
and returning to the lobby, took each Senator
as ho passed, by the hand.
1 forgot to mention that the l'rjends of tiie

Horrible Tragedy.
The editor of the Palestine (Texas) Ameri
can has seen a letter from lSueua Vista, iShel
by county, which gives an account, ot’ a mur
derous affray at that place on the 10th ult.—,
Four men named William Thermal:, AI. Whee
ler, John Y'arborough and Bob MoGay. attack
ed a man by the name of Stephen 8. Bunnells
while he was in the house of a friend. Ther
nian tired the first Shot at Bunnells, when the
latter returned the fire, neither party being
wounded. Yarborough then shot Bunnells
from behind, wounding him mortally, iiuu
nelis, however, shot Yarborough in the thigh,
and also discharged a ball at Wheeler which
broke his arm, Thurman iu tho meantime beat
ing Bunnells over tlio head with his pistol.—
Bunnells next fired upon Tkcrman and struck
hiVn just abov’c the hip. Bunnells lived about
three hours alter the bloody affray, andjit was
reported that Therman was also dead. None
of the party hajl been arrested.
Insurance in the Pacific.
, Ihe Journal of Commerce state* that the
insurance on the Pacific is very large; the
amount on the ship is SBOO,OIIO, half in this
c dim try and half in Europe : the freight money
is insured fin- SIO,OOO more. She Jiacl be
tween six and seven hundred tons of cargo,
valued at over $1,500,000, most Os which was
Insured, a good part in this country. The in
surance is divided among various offices
throughout- the country, so that iu case of loss
or damage to the ship or cargo, the blow would
nut fall excluravely upon New Y ork.

Correspondence between John A. Jones of
Georgia and Lewis D. Campbell of Ohio.
Faihit: KnoWk, Geo., Feb. 7, 1856.
Fill: 1 have been reading your speech on
the Kansas-Nebraska bill—House of Rc-pre
l erkaUvi-.i, Dec. 11, 1851. One short passago
gave me great pleasure. Yon Say: “I lmvo
briefly passed over anil analyzed this .Act. I
denounce it as transferring the just powers of
flic people of the States to the National Exec
utive, already swollen with its enormous pow
ers of Fcberal patronage and the veto. The
transfer is a bitter pill.” No doubt of it, and
the entire bill, doubtless, is more bitter still.—
But you were forced to swallow it. It is the
sweeter to ns because'you loath it. Disgorge
it if you,dare. Repeal thcFugitivo Slave Law
at your peril. , Pitiful, meddling, hectoring
fanatic—you dare not do it. The South is
aroused; you sec it, and you will qauil; you
will crawl back into your fanatical, den, and
growl, and show your claws, but you dare not
strike, and I, for one, am sorry for it. Now
mark me—you have got the vote in the House
to do it. Refuse Kansas admission into the
Union, and in ninety days she will be admitted
into Union treed from your foul, contamina
ting connection.
Believe this is [not j intended as a threat to
deter you—(you are deterred already)—it is
sent to you iu the hope that if you have one
spark of courage, it may fire that spark. ’Tis
vain-—you will retreat from your lofty boast
ings faster than your regiment van from the
Mexicans at Buena Vista, when they hail to
be covered by Southern shields.
Respectfully,
John A. Jonhs,

Washington, Feb. HI, 1850. )
Stit:—Your letter .of the 7th instant could
not have caused mo to spend one moment of
my time, nor one drop of ink in reply, but for
the fact that, on inquiry of the courteous mem
bers who represent Georgia in this body, 1
learned that very recently you had the audaci
ty to aspire to the seat in the American Con
gress, occupied by Governor Lumpkin,
The object of your impudence in thus ad
dressing me, a stranger to you, is not undyr
stood. ll it was to offend me, permit me to
say that, without provocation, no ff ntlcmun
would insult me—no Itlackjitard caul To
[ which class you may belong, it is not my pro
n nice to decide ; I therefore submit your epis
tle through tlm Cress to the people North and
South, believing that their just judgment will
assign to you yyur proper position.
Rut in doing this, 1 beg of the Northern
reader not to judge the people of Georgia by
the standard you have thus constructed for
yoiu'selj , because my intercourse, for she years
in this Hall, with their representatives,.satUfies
me that the criterion would be grossly unjust.
Georgia is the fast State of the South, She
has made rapid progress in* “physical devel
opment.’’ -Vlthough she sends here those
with whom 1 cannot agree in all respects in
matters of national legislation, still she seiv/s
meaof lugh-toped character and true “chival
ry. ‘ When they disagree with . their yerr,
titey disagree in that spirit which characteri-
the statesman and gentleman—a spirit
w hich it might be well for you to cultivate.
i ought, however, to consider your letter, in
some degree well-timed. Os late a .portiou of
the newspaper press in the Free States have
assailed me because 1 had the temerity to pro
pose that Mr. <hr, of South Carolina, should
preside kmjiontrily only over this body, while
in its unorganized condition, iu order to pre
serve that dignity which becomes an American
Legislature. It is possible, if not probable,
that YVm. Lloyd Garrison, of Massaehtito
may for this cause have burned me i u .Ira
is lie burned the Constitution of •• OU .. U ‘-
try” on tho 4th of July, 1854. “t'over a
the shield” of distance you may do thesj,",
Georgia whenever you wish to amuse
in that way.
