Columbus Races—Fourth Day.
FIRST BACK.
Jock ft/ (Jluh I‘urse. S4O0 — Three Milt Heats.
In this race, Frank Allen, Jack Gamble and
Dave Morgan contended—the first named nag
being the favorite at odds against the field.
First Hkat. —.lack Gamble won the inside
track, and led off at a dashing speed, followed
closely by Frank Allen. Morgan made a very
had start, springing close to the spectators
stand anil scattering those who stood near it
oti that side of the track, lie lost a consider
able distance by this holt, and after running
once round without guining any of the ground
lost, he was withdrawn. A sharp contest lor
the lead was maintained by .lack and Frank,
and the latter passed his competitor on the
first quarter of the second mile and led him
home, in <> min. 4 sec.
Second Heat. —Very heavy odds were now
freely ottered on Allen, with hut few takers.
Gamble again led oil’ ahead, and was again
passed by Allen on the first quarter of the
second mile. On entering the third mile,
Gamble for a moment refused to run, and his
rival opened a wide gap between them. Ta
king up the running again, Gamble gained a
portion of his lost ground, but was not fleet
enough to overtake Frank, who won the beat
by several lengths, in (3:14.}

A Negro Child Killed.
There has been much excitement in our com
munity for two or three days, caused by Hying
reports that a negro child belonging to I*. A.
Clayton, Esq., (a highly esteemed citizen of
Columbus) had been killed by her Mistress.—
< )n Wednesday morning the Coroner summoned
a jury of inquest and repaired to the house of
Mr. Clayton, where an examination and inves
tigation was made, anil the jury found facts
which ascribed the death of the child to inju
ries inflicted by Mrs. Elizabeth Clayton. The
body was interred the same day; but dissatis
faction with the verdict having been expressed,
the body of the girl was disinterred on Thurs
day, and another inquest was held iu the court
house. The following is the finding of this
last inquest:
“The undersigned, a Jury of Inquest cm
pannelled and sworn to inquire into the cause
and manner of the death of Sarah, a negro
child about eight years of age, said to be the
property of P. A. Clayton, Esq., of Columbus,
tia., and whose body is lying before us, after
having made a thorough examination of the
body and witnessed a post mortem examination
by several physicians, and having taken their
testimony and that of witnesses, do say that
in our opinion the said child Sarah came to
her death by wounds inflicted upon her head
and body by Mrs. Elizabeth Clayton.’’
This matter lias been a topic of goncral in
terest and some excitement throughout our
city; and while all regretted that such an
event should have occurred to distress the
family most interested iu the affair, a laudable
determination to probe the matter to the bot
tom lias been manifested, and we believe that
no opposition to a thorough investigation has
been interposod by the husband or relations of
ilie lady implicated. The cuso will of course
undergo judicial investigation.
Early Potatoes.
The Newberry (S. C.) Rising Sun —which,
by the way, is a newly-discovered luminary of
much brilliancy and beauty—acknowledges the
receipt of “a fine mess of Irish potatoes, of
this year'sgrowth,” presented by a friend! Some
writer has told us that *• the man who makes
two blades of grass grow where only one grew
before accomplishes more for mankind than
all the politicians in the country.” Doubtless
he does ; and the man who could grow pota
toes, or any other vegetable, during such a
winter as we have passed through this year, is
a more valuable citizen than any Democratic,
Whig, or Black Republican politician iu the
Union. The act proves that he is not a know
nothing —for we would as soon expect to see a
“live Irishman” produced and nurtured at the
poles by that order, as anew Irish potato
sprouted and grown by them through last
January and February.
The Alabama State Bank Notes.
The Montgomery Advertiser says that du
ring the late session of the Legislature of Abt
bania, the Governor called on the Attorney
General for his opinion of the legality of a
re-issue ot the bills of the old State Rank and
branches, and that that officer held the re
issue to be illegal. The GoVeruoi*, it says, has
had a copy of this opinion served on the State
Treasurer, and it presumes that the Treasurer
will refuse to pay out the notes on hand.
The loans granted by the Legislature to
Railroad companies depend upon this question,
| it being the intention that the old State Rank
currency in the Treasury (about $850,000)
should be used ill making these loans. If the
views of the Governor and Attorney General
are carried out ami sustained, it will be em
barrassing to the Railroad enterprises; but on
the other band, the refusal to re-issue the
notes will cause an appreciation of the curren
cy still in circulation, as the amount out is on
ly $450,000 —hardly sufficient to pay the pres
ent year's taxes.

Nearly all the newspapers of Alabama ap
pear to be in l'avor of the proposed Convention
to amend the Constitution of the .State.
Dr. W. 11. Backhouse, of Pennsylvania, has
been appointed Consul at Havana. He is said
to he a nian of extensive learning, and of ex
cellent business capacities.
Dr. James Matthews, an “Indian’’ practi
tioner in Dayton, Ohio, publishes that on the
sth iirnt., while in a clairvoyant state, lie saw
the steamship Pacific hemmed in by ice and
drifting northward. The passengers and crew,
he says, were on short allowances, and had
only one biscuit per meal dealt out to them.—
We don’t advise any body to believe this reve
lation, hut we notice it for tlie purpose of show
ing the diversities and delusions of the human
mind. The Doctor says lie has been a clair
voyant since he was eight years old, and that
he cultivated the faculty while among the In
dians. We hardly think it a white man’s fac
ulty.
Rail Hoad Again.
Mb. Editor :—in your paper of the 10th
inst., appears the following Resolution and
comment, published in connection with others,
on the subject of the supposed sale of the
Muscogee Railroad Stock to Patten A Mustian
by the present Council:
Jan. 21.—The following resolution was re
jected :
Resolved, That this Council re-aflirm and
ratify the contract entered into November I'd,
between the late Council and Messrs. Patten A
Mustian, and that the Finance Committee be
instructed to examine into the securities of
fered by Messrs. Patten h Mustian and to re
port at next regular meeting.
This wtis lost, not because the Aldermen
were opposed to the sale, but that they be
lieved they were acting illegally in taking any
step in the matter while the injunction was
still ponding.
Now, Mr. Editor, all f wish to say is that
the writer of that communication, when he
says that the above resolution was lost because
the bill of injunction was still pendiwj, makes
an incorrect statement, whether ignorantly or
otherwise deponent saycth not. The bill of
injunction was not pending when that resolu
tion wtis lost. Capt. Senimes gave notice to
the Council the very night the resolution was
lost, that he had withdrawn the suit, and did
not commence it again until about the 28th of
February—one week after it was lost. This,
therefore, was not the reason they voted
against it. We hope, therefore, tlie writer
will have candor enough to say that he at least,
does not know why it was lost.

Steamboat Disaster—Loss of Life, Ac.
Cincinnati, March 11.
In a collision between the steamers Edward
Howard and Henry Lewis, near Evansville, on
Saturday, the cabin passengers on the latter
were saved by escaping through the hurricane
deck. Twenty deck passengers and the crew
were drowned.
The weather here is intensely cold. The
snow fell an inch deep on Sunday.
Matters at Washington.
Washington, March 10.
According to certain documents sent to the
Senate to-day, the instructions to Commodore
McCuuly, issued in April last, after (he Span
ish frigate fired into the Eldorado, were lo the
effect that when a similar outrage was commit
ted on a vessel bearing the American flag, he
was promptly to interpose and resist the exer
cise of any assumed right of visitation, and
repel such interference by force.
The committee on elections have prepared a
report, in which it is declared that Foulkc,
claiming a seat from the eighth congressional
district of Illinois, was not duly elected. The
report declares the seat vacant.
No government despatches were received by
the Africa.
It is stated that, the steam frigate Merrimac
lias been ordered to join tlie Home Squadron.
A gentleman whose name pronounces him to
be a Russian, sends the following note to the
New York Herald : “The organic laws of the
Russian empire prohibit the sovereign to change
its religion and to rescind its territorial form,
as those laws are the s .me that regulate the
succession to the throne. They were made by
a series of sovereigns, and cannot be changed
without the consent ot the Synod and Council
of State. If violated without theacquicscence
of these bodies, they would prelude the abdi
cation of power. 1, therefore, cannot admit
that the half of the province of Rcssarabia can
be conceded without an equivalent being al
lotted to Russia. Such being not the appa
rent intention of the allied powers, 1 suppose
the present negotiations for peace are but cal
culated to give publio opinion in Europea kind
of guaranty, to triuiquilizc Prussia and Aus
tria, and to gain a precious mouth of time,
which shall be employed by Russia to concen
trate her means for a last and sublime effort of
resistance.
Mr. Barnes, a soap manufacturer in New
Orleans, La., has manufactured anew article
ol soap, made from cotton seed ; it is purely
vegetable, and has the same properties ns Cas
tile soap; tho color is dark, for the reason
that it is made from the dirtiest portion of the
seed. It is sold at six cents per pound.
Governor Chase, of Ohio, has made a requi
sition upon Governor Morehcad, of Kentucky,
for the return of the slave woman who killed
one of her children in Cincinnati, and who, by
the decree of J udge Leavitt, has been returned
to slavery.
The Surrender of Kars.
The suflerings of the Turkish .soldier from
starvation were dreadful. Many drooped
down at their posts from sheer hunger and ex
haustion ; but their public spirit was beyond
all praise. In those terrible days of death,
when scanty provisions for only three days
were laid up in the fort, there was not a single
instance of even a biscuit being stolen. L was
a cold snowy morning when General Williams
left his hungry, yet staunch and mortified ar
my, to offer terms of capitulation to General
Mouravieff. The English General insisted up
on certain terms of capitulation, the ounces- ‘
sion of which, on the part of General Moura
vieff, was|absolutcly essential to the surrender
of tlie place iu its entirety. Jlad these been
refused, lie was prepared to destroy every gun
and trophy, and leave the place a heap of ru
ins. The reply of the Russian commander
was most chivalrous, “General Williams,” lie
is reported to have said, “you have won* for
yourself n name in history; posterity will
stand amazed at the courage, at the endurance, 1
and at the lofty qualities exhibited by you in
this siege. Yourself aud your troops are cov
ered with glory. 1 have no wish to outrage
humanity by anything unbecoming me as a
general, and tlie terms you ask I accede to.”
Nothing then remained but for tlie wretched
hungry Turks to lay down their arms, aud to
defile before the magnificent array of Russian
soldiers. The deepest grief bowing down the
stern endurance of the famished defenders of
the place, the women wailing from the house
tops, and the Englishman’s heart burning with
mortification at the gross mismanagement that
had brought a devoted army to that woful
plight.
A Fuller .Report of the Arabia’s News.
A dispatch received by Messrs. Brown A
Shipley, the Liverpool Agents of the Collins
line of steamships, dated Glasgow the 27th
ult., says that the steamship Endinburg from
New York, passed on the 7th ult., when five
days out, in lat. 10° •56 / , and long. 40° 40 / ,
large quantities of broken ice, and saw on it a
quantity of broken cabin furniture, consisting
of fine ornamental doors, with white or glass
handles, a ladies work box, and other articles
common in the cabins of first class steamships
—it is, we fear, too probable that these arti
cles were fragments from the wreck of the
Pacific, as the Arabia brings no intelligence of
that vessel.
In Paris three peace Conferences have been
held, but none of their proceedings have been
allowed to transpire, ‘flic general impression
is that matters, so far, have progressed favor
ably. It is believed that immediately after
peace has been signed a European Congress
will meet to adjust the balance of power. A
rumor, to which, however, not much credence
is given, is afloat to tlie effect that Russia con
cedes the required limitations, but will not
abandon her protectorate over the Greek
Christians. Another rumor, somewhat alarm
ing, but believed to lie a speculating ruse, says
that Russia has started objections which will
break up the Conference.
An armistice lias been announced, to last
until the end of March, but not to affect the
existing blockade, and has been made known
to the armies in the Crimea. Omar Pacha’s
resignation has been accepted. Russia, the
Allies and Sweden continue to make active
preparations for war.
The excitement in relation to the difficulty
with the United States had entirely subsided
in England. Mr. Buchanan had dined with
the Queen.
The Liverpool Cotton Market opened active,
but closed quiet. Tlie sales during the week
ending the 28th ult, comprised 0(3,000 bales, of
which speculators took 13,000 and exporters
8000 hales, leaving 50,000 hales of all descrip
tions to tlie trade. Tlie stock in port consisted
of 400,000 bales, including 270,000 American.
Prices were unchanged, Fair Orleans being
quoted ntfifd., Middling Orleans at s|d., Fair
Uplands at O', d., and Middling Uplands at 6

The New York Courier and Enquirer has
prepared a complete list of vessels now due at
that port from Europe. Os these sixty vessels
Two have been at sea from 86 to 10 days
Thirteen have been at sea from.. 10 to 50 “
Twenty have been at sea fr0m..50 to fit) •*
Fourteen have been at sea from. 00 to 70 “
Four have been at sea from 70 to 80 “
Four have been at sea from St) to 1)6 “
One has been at sea from 00 to 100 “
Two have been at sea over 100 “
The Courier says :
•• Apprehensions for the ultimate safety of
nearly all these vessels are probably ground
less, but on their arrival they will report de
structive gales and rude encounters with the
ice. The ships which have reached port with
in the last few days prepare us to expect this.
Fourteen vessels which have arrived at this
port since the first February, report the loss
of twenty-nine men, nineteen of wlivm were
washed overboard, and ten killed by falling
from the yards. The severity of the cold has
also caused great suffering, and many have
lost limbs by the frost.
“ To the storms and tempests which usually
sweep the ocean in the second month of the
year, there have been added the dangers and
hardships arising from an encounter with an
icy barrier which has been spread over the
track of vessels engaged in European voyages.
The barrier has extended over five degrees of
latitude and more than seven degrees of longi
tude. Never before have such extensive fields
been reported so early in the season. Out of
one hundred and nineteen reports of ice en
countered by vessels in a series of years, the
nnuiler reporting ice in January was two ;
February, four—(three of these this year;)
March seven: April, twenty-six : May, forty
five ; June, nine; July, twenty-two; August,
three ; and November, one. The years 1787,
1884 and 1842 are those only in which ice has
been reported as enrly as January and Februa
ry in the track in question.

Rats as Sea Stores.
Our readers will remember the.enquiry that
was made some weeks since about the missing
bark Amelia, which was seized by our Gov
ernment at Port-au-Prince for being engaged
in a filibustering expedition. The Amelia left
Port-au-Prince for the United States on the
Ist December, and was not heard of again un
til she reached the port of St. Thomas on the
Ist February. Shortly after leaving port the
vessel sprung a leak, and encountered a severe
gale, which rendered her unmanageable. It
was only by continual labor at the pumps that
she was kept afloat during the prevalence of
the storm. Provisions and water being ex
hausted, the crew were compelled to subsist
chiefly on rats for twenty-two of the sixty-two
days, during which the vessel was drifting
about, a wreck on the sea. She had a cargo
of arms and ammunition sufficient for an army
of five thousand men. and, according to ac
counts, rats enough to subsist them for a short
time ut least. The rats proved the most val
uable portion of her cargo.— Sav. Xeicz.

Columbus, March 1856.
The Dutchman who had the Small Pox.
from the Spirit of the Times.
The writer sat alongside of the driver one
morning, just at break of day, as the stage
drove out of Blackberry : he was a through
passenger to Squash Point. It wasja very cold
morning. In order to break the ice for a con
versation, he praised tin fine points of tlie off
horse ; the driver thawed.
“ Yaas, she’s a good boss, and l knows how
to trivc him!”
It was evidently a case of mixed breed.
“ Where is Wood, who used to drive this
stage ?”
“ lie be’s laid up uiit do ter rnmatiz, senee
yestcr week, and 1 trive • for him. So”
1 went on reading a newspaper. A fellow
passenger, on a back seat, not having the fear
of murdered English on his hands, coaxed the
Ducli driver into a long conversation, much to
the delight of a very pretty Jersey-blue belle,
who laughed so merrily that it was contagious;
and in a few minutes, from being like unto a
conventicle, we were as wide awake as one of
Christy’s audiences. By sunrise we were in
excellent spirits, up to all sorts of fun, and
when a little later, our stage stopped at the
first watering-place, the driver found himself
iu the centre of a group of treaters to the dis
tilled juice of apples.
“ Here’s a package to leave at Mrs.>Schud
der’s—the third house on tlie left hand side
after you get into Jericho.” “What do you
charge ?” asked a man who seemed to know
the driver.
“ Pout a lefty,” answered he. Receiving
the silver, he gathered up the reins, and put
the square package in the stage-box. Just as
he started the horses, he leaned his head out
of the stage, and looking back to the man who
gave him the bundle, shouted out the question,
“Ter fird bans on ter left hand out of Yeriko?”
The man didn’t hear him, but the driver was
satisfied. On we went at a very good rate,
considering how heavy the roads were. An
other tavern, more watering, more applejack.
Another long stretch of sand, and we were
nearing Jericho.
“Avny porty know dev MissScutter hause?”
asked the driver, bracing bis feet on the mail
bag. which lay in front of him, and screwing
his head round so as to l'acc iu. There seemed
to be a consultation going on inside the stage.
“ 1 don’t know nobody o’ that name in Jeri
cho, do you, Lislie?” asked a weather-beaten
locking man, who evidently “went by water,”
of another who apparently went the same
way.
“ There was old Squire Gow’s da’ter, she
married a Scudder, and moved up here some
two years back. Come to think on’t, guess
I she lives niglier to Glasshouse,” answered
Lislu*.
The driver, finding he could get no light of
the passengers, seeing a tall raw-boned woman
washing some clothes iu front of a house, and
who flew out of sight as tlie stage flew in, hand
ed me the reins as he jumped from his scat,
and chased the fugitive hallooing, “I’fe got
der small pox, He got der .” Here iiis
voice was lost as he dashed into the open door
of the house. Butina minute re-appeared,
followed by a broom with an enraged woman
annexed, and a loud voice shouting out:
“ You git out o’ this ! clear yourself quick
er. 1 aint going to have you diseasing honest
folks, if you have get the small pox !”
“ 1 dells you I’fe got der small pox. Tou’t
you versteth ! der small pox !” This time he
shouted it out iu capital letters.
“ Clear out ! I’ll call the men folks, if you
don’t clear !” and at once shouted, in a tip-top
voice, “ lkc ! you Ike! where air you?” Ike
made his appearance on the full run.
W-what’s the matter, mother V”
“ 1 dell you oncst move, for der last dime,
I’fe got der small pox, unt Mishter Ellis he
gifs me a lefty to gif der small pox to Miss
Scutter, und if dat vrow is Miss Scuttcr, 1
bromised to gif her ter smallpox.”
It was Miss Suddcr, and 1 explained to her
that it was a box he had for her. The affair
was soon settled, as regarded delivery ; but
not as regarded the laughter and shouts of the
occupants of the old stage coach, as we rolled
away from Jericho. The driver joined in, al
though he had no earthly idea us to its cause,
and added not a little to it by saying, in a tri
umphant tone of voice:
“1 vos pount to gif ter oldvomans ter small
pox !”

Washington, March 12.
In the United States Senate to-day Mr.
Douglas presented the majority report on the
Kansas question. It recognises the legality
of the Kansas Legislature, recommends the
enforcement of the President’s views as conj
tained in his special message, and gives notice
that an appropriation will be asked for that
purpose. Mr. Collamcr presented the minori
ty report, which attributes the troubles to the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, asks for
the repeal of the Nebraska bill and the re-or
ganization of the Territory on free principles.
Tlie reports were ordered to be printed.
The Seaboard and Roanoke Rail Road
Accident.
The following are additional particulars of
tlie recent accident on the Southside Railroad,
a notice of which we already have published.
The trestle-bridge, twelve miles above Weldon,
North Carolina, gave way ns the cars were
passing over it, and the whole train was pre
cipitated a distance of twenty feet. Both pas.
senger and baggage cars were burnt up, to
gether with baggage and express freight.—
The killed were—Captain Kilkelly, Express
agent,|Mr. Dauglitrey, mail agent, two news- j
buys, nd a negro woman. Capt. Bourdette
Weymouth, engineer, and several others, were
badly injured. Tlie number of passengers on
tlie train was not very large.
A treaty of l’eace was negotiated on the lOtli
