The City Court of Columbus.
We find in the last Macon Telegraph the uot
passed by our last Legislature establishing
Criminal Courts in Columbus and Macon.—
The act provides that on the “id Monday in
April next, and every four years thereafter on
the same day, the citizens of Columbus quali
fied to vote for city officers shall elect a Judge
and a Status Attorney or Solicitor for the
Criminal Court of the city; the Judge to be a
resident of Columbus. The Court is to have
jurisdiction over “all minor offences committed
within the corporate limits of the city of Co
lumbus, and which do not subject the offender
or offenders to the loss of life, limb or mem
ber, or to confinement in the Penitentiary.”
The terms of this Court are to be held the
■id Mondays in February, May, August ’
November, and at sueli other times ■■ ;
Judge may order and designate. The salary
of the Judge to be fixed by the Council, and
payable out of the city treasury. The Solici
tor is to receive specified fees. The Clerk of
the City Council is to be also the Clerk of the
Criminal Court, and is to receive for his servi
ces the same fees as those now allowed to the
Clerks of the Superior Courts. The Marshal
and Deputy Marshal of Columbus to act as
Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff to this Court, and
to receive the same fees as are now by law al
lowed to the county Sheriffs.
“Confusion Worse Confounded.”
The interminable question of the sale of the
city’s Muscogee Railroad stock was again up
before the Council on Monday evening. Im
mediately after the reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting, Aid. Thompson, one of the
majority favoring the carrying out of the con
tract with Patten and Mustian, moved an ad
journment. This was done because of the ab
sence of one of the Aldermen, and in view of
the Mayor’s decision that the question must
lio decided by a full Hoard. The adjournment
was carried by the votes of flic Aldermen sus
taining the contract.
As the citizens—many of whom had attend
ed to witness the action of the Council—were
dispersing, Gen. Semiuos called a citizens’
meeting to consider the question, and at his
request tlie Mayor took the chair and deliver
ed his views of the state of the question. lie
concluded by introducing the City Attorney,
who read a written opinion, maintaining that
the whole proceedings of the Councils were
informal and illegal, and that no valid con
tract had been made. Mr. Echols moved a
resolution that tho meeting request tin* City
Council to submit tlie question to tho citizens
°t Columbus for their decision. Subsequent
ly, on tho intimation of the chairman that the
Council might decline to comply with this re
quest, Mr. Quin offered another resolution au
thorizing the chairman to call a meeting ol‘ the
citizens, which was also passed. After some
indignant remarks by Mr. Estes, the meet
ing-adjourned, subject, we suppose, to the call
of the chairman, Mayor Wilkins.
Major Buford’s Enterprise.
The Clayton and Eufaula papers give most
cheering accounts of tho liberal spirit with
which the people of Barbour county, \la., arc
sustaining Maj. Buford’s Kansas emigration
project. At a meeting held in Clayton on
Thursday last, after a speech from Alpheus
Baker, Esq., about SI3OO was subscribed by
tlie citizens present: nine gentlemen giving
sloooacli. Innnotherpart of tho county, Col.
Edward S. Ottgave the balance on hand of bis
cotton crop, fourteen bales, to aid tho enter
prise. Quite a number of gentlemen in other
counties havo sent Maj. Buford SIOO or s,’>o
each. A meeting was to havo been lu-ld in
F.ufaula ou Monday night, and we run no risk
in saying that the “handsome thing” was done
on that occasion by that spirited community.
There can now be no danger of a failure of the
enterprise, and those who intend to join the
expedition should meet Mnj. Buford at Eufau
la, Columbus, or Montgomery, by the time
specified in his late appeal. We believe the
2d of April is the day fixed for the rendezvous
in this city.
Good Authority.
The Washington correspondent of the Char
leston Standard writes as follows, in his letter
of the titli inst. :
“ The foroigu mails arrived last evening at
the State Department, and 1 understand they
contained some important dispatches for the
Government from London. It may be they
contain the information that Mr. Crumpton
has been ro-called—if not, 1 can assure you,
upon the most reliable authority, that he will he ;
lUrmisaed by President Pierce. It is the opinion
ot Mr. Murry that tlie Walker government in
Nicaragua will soon settle the Central Ameri
can questions now in dispute between this |
Government and Great Britain, and it is strong
ly suspected that the reported difficulty be
tween General Walker and Col. Kinney is all
a ruse to effect ulterior purposes. This is the
only rational solution of it. Otherwise, it was
uncalled for, unnatural, and impolitic on the
part of General Walker and his government.’’
On the Bth, he writes :
“Every thing appears quiet about the State j
Department, Mr. Marcy is awaiting a reply j
to his last despatch asking Crampton’s recall, j
If not complied with, his dismissal is certain. I
This, however, will not nceessnrily affect the i
friendly relations now existing between tin
two governments.”

■ PARTY views and movements.
.Sol i'll CvnoLlNA.—lit accordance with a
call made by a portion of the politicians of
this State (of whom Mr. On- is regarded as the
leader), meetings were last week held in many
of the districts to act upon tlie mooted and
disputed question of sending delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention. Very little interest in
the question appears to have been manifested,
and most of the meetings were thinly attended.
Borne of them rejected the proposition to send
delegates to a preliminary .State Convention ;
, others appointed them by a majority upon di
! vision; and in others no opposition was made
to the movement. We believe that the papers
I representing each division claim that the re
j suits susta u their view of the question. Be
that as it may, tlie State will now be repre
: rented, and it is understood that tlie delegates
will favor tlie re-nomination of President
Pierce.
Massaciii sktis. —The American State Coun
| eilof Massachusetts met in Boston on Tuesday
|of last week. There was much bitter recrimi
| nation between the National and the Wilson
, factions of the order. Finally, resolutions
were adopted pledging the American party of
the State to tlie support of the Springfield
platform, and refusing to sustain Fillmore and
Donelson until it was unmistakably ascertain
ed that they heartily endorse American princi
ples.
Pennsvi.vania.—The Pennsylvania State
Democratic Convention, which met at Ilarris
bu g oil Thursday last, appointed delegates
favorable to Mr. Buchanan to represent the
State in tlie Cincinnati Democratic Convention.
The vote stood, for Buchanan 120, for Dallas
5. Resolutions in favor of the preservation
of the Union as it is, deprecating the agitation
of the slavery question, sustaining the Kansas-
Nehraska bill, &c., were passed.
Municii-ai. Elections have recently occured
in Alexandria, D. C., and New Bedford, Mass.
In the former city, the whole Know Nothing
ticket was elected, with very little opposition ;
while in the latter, the Citizens triumphed
over the Americans by a small majority. The
vote was about the largest ever polled in that
city.

“A company of five fugitive slaves passed
through our city yesterday morning in a great
hurry to reach Canada. As they go on the
cars of the underground it is presumed they
will meet with no obstruction. Some idea of
the extent of tlie emigration northward may
be had from tlie fact that this last company
brings up the number of fugitives who have
passed through this city on the underground
within three months to one hundred and forty
eight persons.”
We cut the above from the Cincinnati Sun
ot the nth inst. It is a very cool announce
ment of the fact that the people of Cincinnati
alone have connived at and encouraged the
plunder of Kentuckians to the amount of not
less than $125,000in three months ! If Ken
tucky sutlers thus severely by the operations
and management of ono town alone on her exten
sive northern •boundary, what must he the ex
tent ol her loss along the whole lino that sep
arates her from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois?—
It cannot reasonably be estimated at less than
one million of dollars per annum 1 Yet, should
Kentucky, in return, seize property of the
citizens ot those States to indemnity tier for
their rascality, the act would everywhere he
denounced as unconstitutional, outrageous and
revolutionary. Probably Federal authority
would he called in to restrain or right it.—
This illustrates the difference in tlie degree of
protection extended to Northern and Southern
property by the action of tlie Government,
and, to our mind, proves that tlie Southern
States will have to discard their constitutional
scruples and protect themselves by taxes or
reprisals on Northern property—else they w ill
id ways he tho outraged and plundered portion
ot the Confederacy, and the supporters of
neighboring communities that thrive by the r
connection and yet abuse it by theft and ra
pacity. Let them take the remedy into their
own hands, and, adopting the only recourse
left them resolve to

Tlie Cincinnati papers report that the reeen
fugitive slave case in that city cos’the Gov
ernment of the United States $22,000. The
legal proceedings, and the employment of a
very large number of deputy marshals, ren
dered necessary by the popular disposition
manilested to rescue the prisoners, involved
this largo*ninouut. Tht-South, being the section
ol the Union that.consumes most of the imports

sums required to enforce law in Northern

A Miscreant Properly Punished.
An individual, whose name we have forgot
ten, nor do we care ever again to remember it,
was convicted at the last term of tlie Campbell
: Superior Court for placing an obstruction on

full term of eight years.
Ibis, we believe, is the first conviction for

years, he would unhesitatingly have done it.— I

Columbus, March 10, 1850.
Russian View of the Peace Question.
The New York Herald, of Thursday, suys :
“ We publish elsewhere two remarkable ar
ticles, translated from Lo Nord, the Russian
organ at Brussels, which enters into a length
ened explanation of the motives of Russia in
commencing the present war, and those by
which she is now influenced in desiring to
conclude a peace. The writer shows that the
• war was a necessity impo ed upon the Empe
ror Nicholas, by the very character and senti
ments of his people, which irresistibly impel
led them to undertake this crusade in favor of
; their co-religionists in the East. Ho contends
that a passion for conquest is not a defect
which can fairly he charged to the Sclavonic
1 race, and that such was certainly not the mo
tive that led to the Turkish war. A sense of
1 duty and of duty alone, which would have
j urged them to the same course in the case of
i other oppressed Christians, was the influence
■ by which both monarch and people were actua
-1 ted. The protection of the Eastern Christians
being guaranteed by the action of the Europe
an Bowers, the object which they had at heart
is attained. Under those circumstances, the
Emperor Alexander evinces sound judgment
and a wise appreciation of the real interests
of his people in hastening to respond to the
universal feelings of Europe, by putting an end
to unnecessary bloodshed. The government
of Russia had done sufficient to gratify the
generous instincts of its pooplc, and it would
now gain more by proving to the world the
injustice of flic prejudice which attributed to
it designs of conquost than by persevering in
a struggle injurious to the general interests of
humanity. Such is tlie reasoning of the Czar’s
official organ. It sincerity will, of course,
lie judged of differently by those whose nation
ality is interested in the question. It must,
however, be acknowledged that it is consistent
with the arguments originally put forth by the
Emperor Nicholas in justification of his con
duct.”
The Kingdom of Oude in the Lion’s Mouth.
“The Kingdom of Oude will be either se
questered or annexed to tlie possessions of
Great Britain.” Such is the late-t tidings
from India. A few months ago England was
said to be in a dilemma on this subject. Tlie
most solemn treaties were in existence between
the Hindoo princess and the Cabinet of St.
James, guaranteeing tlie independence of Oude;
and a large cession of territory and tlie sacri
fice of certain valued rights had been made to
ensure the same. How then was England,
with decency, to seize the land she coveted,
without forfeiting her honor ? Excuses arc
never wanting, and one was found to suit the
occasion. Good faith cannot be keptwith bad
men, is the plea setup by England. The King
of Oude is a very atrocious character, it
seems, and hismisgovernment causes the mise
ry of millions throughout some of the fairest
provinces of llindoston. Therefore, philan
thropy—of course anything but cupidity—gets
the better of honor; and treaties are coolly
violated in order that Oude may be annexed
to British India.
“ The King of Oude,” says the Bombay Times,
“is to ho allowed .£IOO,OOO a year : his army
is to be reduced from 80,000 to 15,000, and the
entire administration of affairs to lie entrusted
to the Resident General.” The idea of this
Eastern potentate having caused the misery of
millions of his subjects, would lead one to in
fer that lie had imitated rather too closely the
government of Great Britain ; and we are en
couraged in this view of the case by a writer
in the Edinburgh Review, who tells that liine
tentlis of the inhabitants of Oude are in tlie
position of the cottiers of Ireland—a sad lot,
truly, but one not likely to be improved by
their change of masters. The one hundred
and fifty millions of people, at present under
the rule of Englishmen in India, are worse
treated than any others on the face of the
globe. They are deprived, in many cases, of
their religious rites; they arc over-worked,
miserably fed and clad, and put to such tor
tures to extort tribute money from them, that
a grand inquisitor of Rome or Spain, in days
gone by, would have shrunk back with disgust
from witnessing. And yet with these millions
of people under their sway, and this land of
boundless riches in their grasp, such is the
luisgovornmcnt of the East India Company,
that British India docs not pay expenses.—
The love of aggrandizement then must be the
chief motive which urges England to this wan
ton breach of faith ; or was it that the poor
King of Oude was too pro-Russia in his sym
pathies to please his emperious neighbors.”—
Avgusta Chron.

Sevastopol not Fallen!
Tlie following is an extract from a speech of
Lord Derby:
Within that time information of that fact,
so far as it is a fact—because unhappily it is
not a fact—[laughter*]—might be derived from
the columns of any newspaper. Unhappily it
is uot a fact. “ Sevastopol, tlie great strong
hold of Russia in tlie Black Sea,” lias not
yielded to your valor and to your daring,
whatever that valor and daring may have been.
It is true, that by unparalleled achievements,
you have succeeded in forcing a portion of
that stronghold. You have obtained posses
sion of tlie Southern side of Sevastopol. You
have destroyed the fleet of Russia—or, at least
she lias destroyed them herself, and has saved
you the trouble. [“ Hear,” and a laugh.]
You have blown up, or you arc blowing up,
those splendid docks which were miracles of
art, of perseverance and of skill, but “the
great stronghold of Russia” still holds you at
defiance. In front of that stronghold,
upon the northern coast, boleagured rather
than belcnguring, lie your armies at this mo
ment, while your fleets are floating at a res
pectful distance from that stronghold whicli
you declare lias yielded to the persevering
constancy and to the daring bravery of the
Allied forces. Although, therefore, 1 am I
ready to congratulate her Majesty, as we are !
invited to do, upon the success which has been !
attained, I must yet say that the first para- j
graph of the speech contains an erroneous j
statement, and that the great stronghold of 1
Russia has not yielded to the daring and valor !
of your troops, however great that daring and ;
valor may have been. [Hear, hear.]

Most Laughable Incident.
A NEW I’ll ASK Ol TUB “ HOUSE QUESTION.”
A most laughable story istoldby an English
correspondent of tho New York Sunday Times,
of what occurred a short time since on one of
the railways running out of London. We
thought that we were once witnesses and par
ticipants of a droll adventure on one of the
New York railroads, when a lot of hungry and
blood thirsty Hungarian leeches, getting loose
from ajar in which they were confined, spread
themselves promiscuously over the lower limbs
of the passengers, and commenced feeding to
tho great surprise and consternation of all ;
but the English story is far more ludicrous,
and we intend spinning it out a little in our
own way.
It seems that in a four-passenger car on the
London railroad there were two travelers on
the occasion in question. One was a civil,
quiet, modest, well-behaved gentleman: the
other, who sat opposite him, was a lady, “fat,
fair and forty,” who was also of modest mien
and conduct. The train had hardly commenc
ed moving, when the lady suddenly jumped
up, aud, with a crimson flush on her counten
ance, exclaimed,
“ llow dare you ?”
“ Dare what!” said tlie gentleman in astou
in cut.
■ “ Insult me in that mannercontinued the
lady, still swelling with indignation.
“ lam not aware that I have insulted you
in any way, form or manner retorted the
gentleman, innocence and enquiry’ depicted in
every lineament of his countenance.
“ Well, don’t touch me again,” continued
the lady ; “if you do, I’ll call the guard.”
The gentleman sat marvelling, but silent,
wondering what strange conceit bad got into
his fellow traveler’s head, when suddenly she
sprang up the second time, and in a fresh burst
of indignation broke out with,
“ I’ll not stand such impertinence and in
sults. I’m a decent married woman, and your
conduct is insufferable.”
“ But, my dear madam, what upon earth
has got into your head ? What do you mean ?”
“ 1 mean that 1 will not be insulted. You
mistake my character, sir, if you think I’ll put
up with such impudence You’re an imperti
nent good for nothing puppy, that’s what you
arc and with flashing eye she resumed her
seat.
The gentleman was still wandering at tlie
strange conduct of the lady, totally unconscious
that he had given her the least cause of of
fence, when she suddenly started np a third
time with theejaculation,
“ Keep your hands to yourself! If my hus
band was here he’d pitch you out of the win
dow. I’ll have you arrested the moment the
cars stop. Keep your hands off, I say !”
“ What hands ? what do you mean? You
talk like a crazy woman, and 1 believe you are
insane,” was the response of the bewildered
gentleman.
“ Let go of my legs !” broke out the lady,
jumping up again, and this time in a perfect
frenzy of passion.
“ 1 don’t know anything about your legs—
never touched them in my life—never want to
touch them. l r ou’re as crazy as Bedlam —
you re a candidate for the first lunatic asylum
on the road—and I’ll have you arrested the
moment tlie cars stop,” put in the gentleman,
with honest indignation.
“ And I’ll have you arrested for taking im
pudent liberties with me,” responded the lady;
a a equal amount of virtuous excitement mani
fest in her countenance.
In five minutes more the train stopped, there
was a violent letting down of windows in the
car occupied by the two enraged passengers,
’ and a loud duet of cries or shouts of “conduc
tor,” “guard,” “anybody,” “everybody,”
“this way!” followed from the twain.
“ Wliat’s the matter ?” queried the anxious
conductor, as he poked his head into the car, in
haste.
“ This woman is as crazy as a loon—mad as
a March hare—take her out!” said the gen
tleman.
“ And this man lias been pinching ray legs
all the way from London, the impudent
scamp !” retorted the lady, glaring furiously
in his face.
A quiet smile came over the face of the con
ductor as lie remarked that he thought he
could explain the matter at issue ! And reach
ing his hand under the lady’s scat, he drew
out a live goose which he had placed there a
few moments before the train started, not sup
posing that the car would be occupied. The
legs of the aquatic fowl had been tied all the
while, but he had free use of his head and bill,
and had been amusing himself by pecking
away at the lower limbs of the lady. We think
that this may be well called anew phase, if
not a settler, of the vexed “goose question.”
Spontaneous Combustion.
Benson Blake, Esq., informed us yesterday,
says the Vicksburg Whig of the 26th, that the
tire bursted out of the centre of a pile of cot
ton seed that lay by the side of his gin house,
on his plantation on the Yazoo river, a few
days since. The cotton seed had been expos
cd to the weather all winter, and lie had com
menced hauling it away, when the fire broke
out of the centre of the pile. After it was ex
tinguished, on examination it was found char- j
red to a considerable depth, and bore the ap- ]
pcarauce of having been smothered in for some
time. Mr. Blake assures us there can be no 1
doubt of the lire originating from the heat of
the seed. No doubt this is the cause of many
gins burning down, and wc would advise all
who have piles of cotton seed ly’iugabout their
gins to haul it out forthwith.
By the last treaty between the Government
aud the Seminole Indians, aswc learn from the
Floridian & Journal, the latter were confined
to that portion of the country’ lying south of
the Caloosahacthee. That vast region is to this
day as much a terra incognita even to Floridians
as it was when the Europeans first landed on
its sandy shores. Tradition, however, repre
sents it as a perfect ElDorado, containing j
large bodies ot’ land capable of the highest cul- j
tivation, and abounding in natural orange
groves, lemons, banana, and other tropical
fruits. Near tlie southern extremity of the
State, and bordering on the everglades, is the
Big Cypress Swamp, which is said to be t e
present home of the Indians. Their number
is said to be about 450.
Heavy Failure.
The L;uisville Times states that Capt. Cas-

j brother Brutus J. Clay and M. O. Johnson are
the assignees.

A crop of 147 bales of cotton made by Wm.
i West, of Stewart county, (la., was sold in this
