Maj. Buford’s Expedition. The dd day of April is the time appointed by Maj. Buford for Kansas emigrants to join him in this city, lie will proceed hence to Mont gomery, where persons wishing to join him should rendezvous by the 6th of April. The Ylahama Journal mentions, on the authority of Map If, various liberal oilers of transporta tion, ,te., made by railroad companies and other carriers along the route. Maj. John 11. Howard, President of the Girard and Mobile Kailroad Company, will bring Maj. Ibilord and liis corps from Silver llun to this city l roe of charge, expressing his regret thatlic cannot take them all tho way, and giving ssotowards defraying the expenses of the balance ul the route. Col. Pollard, President of the Opelika and Montgomery and West Point Railroads, offers a free passage to the company front this city to Montgomery; and, as we have already mentioned, Messrs. Cox, Rraiiuird <Nt, (u. will take the company by steamboat from Mont gomery to Mobile tree of charge. Messrs. Powell & Metcalf, proprietors of the stageline, also offered a free conveyance on this portion of (lie route. Maj. B. has also “liberal as surances” as to dhe passage from Mobile to New Orleans, and we presume that he will have liberal offers for the passage up the Mis sissippi river. It is stated that Mr. Cooper, ot’ Atlanta, will join Maj. 11 aford at Montgomery, with a com pany from Georgia. Two or three companies from South Carolina, we believe, are expected to join the expedition ; and the present pros pect is that quite a large and respectable force will rendezvous at the several stopping points along the route. Maj. Buford’s unflagging perseverance and /.cal in pushing toward his patriotic enterprise entitle him to the thanks and best wishes of the entire South, and we are satifted that the results of the expedition will prove that neither the confidence reposed in tho undertaking and its leader nor the aid and encouragement extended to it by tho peo ple of tho South has been injudiciously orvain ly bestowed. ♦ The people of the Northern States were again “ enjoying” very c Id weather last week. On the 10th instant, at Philadelphia and lloston, the thermometer indicated a tem perature at zero; at Albany, 7 degrees below; and at White Itiver .1 unction, Yt., 20 degrees below zero! ■■ ♦ - \ line of steamboats lias been chartered to run between Charleston and Columbia, S. via the coast and the Santee river. This is a new enterprise, and it is anticipated that a largo and profitable trade will be carried on by this route. The first steamer left Charles ton for Columbia yesterday. . __— Lmter from Mexico. The steamer Texas arrived at New Orleans on the Pith, with dates from Vera Cruz to the Mth instant. Tamaroz was at Puebla, where ho expected to bo beseiged by soon gov ernment troops. The revolution in other parts of the country had been put down. The Congress had elected Coiuonfort President for one year. ♦ Fillibustering. Two hundred fillibusters left New Orleans on tho 11th instant, for Central America, to join Walker. ♦ I'lie I rands of tlie Ihiglish member of Par liament, Sadlior, (on account ot the exposure of which, lie committed suicide,) were l'orge i ies of certificates of share- in the Swedish I’ail road, ot deeds and mortgages on estates in Ireland, and of deeds for the purchase of property in the Cncumborc'd Instates Court of Ireland. Altogether, about $500,000 of his frauds have been brought to light. The Tennessee members of Congress have telegraphed to Memphis that if the authorities of that city will again tender the navy yard grounds to the United States, tho prevent Con gress will re-establish tho navy yard in Mem phis. ♦ A Very “Free” Country. When the Peace Conference was about to open in Paris, tho Minister of the Interior sent tor a 1 the editors cf the press in the city, and ordered them not to publish auv articles on peace or war pending the deliberations of tho Congress. ■ ♦ A Good Rule Working Wrong. The Indepetulmee Jielye, a Brussels paper of < haractor and influence in 11 nrope, in chroni cling the election of Speaker Banks, terms him a negro, and says that lie belongs, -as his vdor sufficiently indicates,” to the extreme abolition party. We have often known men tie be deceived by exterior appearances, but this editor is the first man within our knowledge who was deceived by an inside view of another. I lie color ol the Speaker by no means corres ponds with the hue of his political principles, and the Brussels editor lias been led astray bv looking at the inner instead of the outer limn— a singular error. l 3 ost Office Management. We observe that many newspapers, and con spicuous among them the Mail and Journal at Montgomery, Ala., are almost daily ut ering imprecations “ loud and deep against the ras cality which has so generally crept into the Post Offices of the country, and which reduces the prospect of the sate transmission of a valu able letter through the mails to about the same chance that a tempting carcass thrown into the Gulf Stream oil the Florida coast would have to reach the Banks of Newfoundland. If not sunk or lost in the perils of the wayward pass age, the sharks that lie in wait for prey will be pretty apt to -eize the tempting bait. We, too, have abundant cause of complaint about the mails or the Post Offices. W ithin j the last few weeks we have ascertained the | l, wl f of three letters containing remittances from different quarter* —one from < Yntrcville, Ala., one from Abbeville, Ala., and one from Gleimville. Asa partial safeguard against j future losses or rather as a means ol ena bling us to trace up the loss to some particu- . hir route or location —wo give notice that at will not bo responsible for the safe transmis- I sion of any money.sent to us by mail, unless j the letters containing such remittances are itjislfri.il. Those indebted to us will please bear this in mind, and in consigning their cash letters to the perilous chances of delivery by post, let them take the precaution of regis tration, and thus prevent loss at the office of mailing at least. In the newspaper mail arrangements, too, great reformation is needed. Twice last week tho newspapers from Charleston and other eastern cities failed to reach us as due. On Saturday morning we had neither Charleston nor Augusta papers as late as due, while the arrival of letters and two or*thrcc papers from cities further North, showed that the connec tions were made and a portion of the mail matter sent through. Do I’ost Masters any where along the route exercise their own dis cretion as to what portion of the mail they will transmit, without delay, and dispose of the balance as caprice or convenience dictates? It would really seem so, from the way in which our exchanges often reach us. We repeat, the existing postal system does not meet the wants of the country. Neither as to regularity and certainty, nor lay the se curity which it offers, docs it satisfy the busi ness community. The Government should either he responsible as common carriers, or it should give up the transmission of the mail matter of the country to companies that may be made so. But if the present system is to be a perpetual institution, or an examination of the details of the proposition to give up the business to individual contractors should prove it to he impracticable, wekuow of no other rem edy against losses than the establishment of J’osial Insurance Offices, as suggested by us the other day. Whilst the present insecurity and complaints exist- whilst many persons and corporations entrust their valuable packages to the express companies in preference to the Government institution—every letter of much value would be insured at a reasonable rate, if companies affording facilities of insurance existed, and thus the experiment would he found a profitable one to the companies as well as a great desideratum to the business community. * Interesting News from California, &c. ‘J’lie steamship Prometheus arrived at New Orleans from San Juan on the evening of the llthinst. She brings dates from San Fran cisco to the l!0th ult., from the Isthmus to the nth instant, and from Japan to the lOth De cember last. The raining business in California, seemed to he prosecuted very successfully. Water was plentiful, and gold from the mines had commenced arriving at San Francisco. A severe earthquake occurred at San Fran cisco on the night of loth ult. It lasted for about fifteen seconds and was accompanied by a rumbling sound. The houses were shaken like trees in a gale; many persons were thrown from their beds ; furniture, crockery, No., were overturned and broken; thousands of persons rushed out almost naked into the streets: even the dumb animals manifested the wildest alarm, and many of them broke from tlnir stalls and enclosures. For a short time consternation and disorder prevailed, but no great damage, and no loss of human life, had been ascertained. Nothing important from Oregon was re ported. No more fighting of consequence with the Indians appears to have occurred. From Nicaragua we have the important n formation that Gen. Walker lias seized all the boats on the river and lake, and other proper ty belonging to the Nicaragua Transit Compa ny, annulled their charter, and granted anoth er tit is said,) to some company who will im nunediutely commence running on the route. The news from Japan, received by the Schooner Page arrived at San Francisco, is deplorable. A terrible earthquake at Jeddo, on the 11th oi November, destroyed one hun dred thousand dwellings, filty-iour temples, and thirty thousand inhabitants. Fire broke out at the same time in thirty different parts of the city. The earth opened, and closed over thousands of buildings with their occu pants. The shock was severe at Simoila. Al though the distance from Jeddo to Siinoda is but sixty miles, it appears that no official ac count oi the earthquake had been received at the latter place at the time of the sailling of the schooner, December 10th. The news was obtained through the Dutch interpreter. The Japanese scorned to attach but little impor tance to the catastrophe. The inhabitants of the portion of the city destroyed wore for warn ed of the disaster, and many of them escaped. The buildings of Jeddo are chiefly of one sto ry, and constructed of very light material.— Tho temples of worship, however, are lofty, and in some instances arc constructed of heavy masonry. I here had been 78 arrivals of vessels at llakodadi since that port was opened to for eign trade. The French were negotiating, but had not concluded, a treaty with the Japanese. The Canadian Parliament has refused, by one majority, to pass a prohibitory liquor law . i Error Corrected. In mu- communication of the 10th we find, upon examination, the remarks upon the reso lution of January 21st were incorrect, and we cheerfully make the correction. The resolu tion and remarks were as follows : l AN jt.—The following resolution was re jected : , Resolved, That this Council re-athrin au l ratify the contract entered into November 1 J, between the late Council and Messrs. Patten \ Mustian, and that the Finance Committee be instructed to examine into tin* securities ot tered by Messrs. Patten A Mustian and to re port ut next regular meeting. This was 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 pending. .JOHN W. PEASE, F. S. CHAPMAN, D. U. THOMPSON, JOHN lUJNLKV, JOHN BUN NEK, J. J. SLADE, HENRY T. HALL. Columbus, March 15, 1856. ♦ Mr. Collins, it is said, is not satisfied that the pieces of wreck reported to have been seen by the Edinburg were parts of the Pacific. - ♦ New Hampshire Election. Conuojui, N. H., March 1”. Returns have been’received from 186 towns, with the lblluwingresult: Wells, (deni.) 28,560; Metcalf, (Republican)2o,6ll; Goodwin,(Whig) and the scattering vote, 2,206. About 10 small towns are to hear from, which last year gave Baker, (Deni.) 6,112 ; Metcalf, (Repub lican) 6,660, and scattering 701. The House thus far stands Democrats 110; Opposition 112. Tlie towns to hear from, it is estimated, will give 60 Democratic members and 22 Op position. ♦ ERNEST LIN WOOD—A NOVEL. BY MRS. CAROLINE LEE II ENT/.. In these days of worthless fictiouizing, it is rare indeed that one can pick up anew book without a feeling of incredulity as to its intrin sicliterary merit. Gingerly do we touch the thousand and odd productions of the army of book-wrights of this country : a lew pages gen erally create disgust, if we can rescue our fac ulties from sleep, and we find ourselves hearti ly wishing for some literary Robespierre with a guillotine hard by, whose glittering axe would descend and cut off the heads of the adventurous small fry that essay a (light into the aerial regions of Scott, llulwerand Cooper. In latter times, three hooks have suddenly seized the popular mind—eliminations of the genius of woman: the “ Wide, Wide World,” “Alone” and the “Old Homestead.'’ To these we may add, the last, in our opinion, the bCst of the literary efforts of Mrs. Caroline Lee llcntz, Ernest Lin wood. It is melancholy to think, that the hand which penned this beautiful novel, is dust and ashes —the heart that thrilled with the noble senti ments evolved, is pulseless and still, and the gifted mind which conceived it, is lost to us and the world. AYe said the other day, that a melancholy interest attaches to Ernest Lin wood as the last production of this brilliaut star in the Southern literary firmament. And thus it is. In the death of Mrs. llcntz, the South lias lost one whose place cannot he sup plied in the world of letters. Aside from her literary productions, we are told by those who knew her intimately, that in all the social qualities of life, Mrs. llcntz had lew superiors. Like Lady Blcssington, the fair authoress seemed to have been dipped in Fonte do Leon’s Fountain of Youth and looked ever on the “sunny side of thirty.” But Ge nius never allows her votaries to grow old; and no one perhaps ever-exemplified this fact more than the authoress of Ernest Linwood. We arc not, however, writing a biography. Our readers already know that Mrs. llcntz died at Marianna, Florida, after a brief illness, as unexpected to her immediate friends, as to the literary world. It is of the book that wc designed briefly to speak. Ernest Linwood is tlie most voluminous of the works of this lady. It appears to be a sort of auto-biography astlie following pretty clear ly indicates : “ Book! Am l writing a book? No, in deed ! This is only a record of my heart's life, writ ten at random and carelessly thrown aside, sheet after sheet, sibylline leaves from the great book of fate. The wind may blow them away, a spark consume them. 1 may myself commit them to the fiames. lam tempted to do so at this moment. “ I once thought it a glorious thing to he an author—to touch the olectric wire of sentiment, and know that thousands would thrill at the shock—to speak, and believe that unborn mil lions would hear the music of those echoing words—to possess the wand of the enchanter, the ring of the genii, the magic key to the temple of temples, the pass-word to the uni verse of mind. 1 once had such visions as these, but they are passed. “To touch the electric wire, and feel the bolt scathing one's own brain—to speak, to hear the dreary echo of one’s voice return through tho desert waste—to enter the temple and find nothing but ruins and desolation—to lay a sacrifice on the altar, and sec no lire from heaven descend in token of acceptance to stand the priestess ot a lonely shrine, uttering oracles to the unheeding wind—is not such too often the doom of those who have looked to fame as their heritage, believing genius their dower ? “ Heaven save me lroiu such a destiny.— Better the daily task the measured duty, the i elmined-down spirit, the gir lied heart.” We observe throughout the work, that ; strange and supernatural prophecy which ex i isted iii theoase of Miss Landou, whose memor j able lines in which she predicts her untimely ! fate, when leaving England for Capetown, are remembered yet with sadness. There are ; many passages in this work, singularly appli j cable to the circumstances of .Mrs. Hentz, and , one cannot but believe that the second sight | of the Scottish seers was upon her when she penned them. She writes with a devotional spirit at once touching and remarkable, and ; the reader involuntarily thinks that as these pure thoughts were put upon paper, “ Slu l niw tlie bright /adder doseriiding from Heaven, And /< /( the good unge/s come down in her heart.” Ernest Linwood is in line a fiction, if it can be called a fiction, of great power, pathos and beauty. There is more robustness of thought, purity of language, religious sentiment and plot-interest in this work than in any other production of Mrs. llcntz. It is decidedly the best, as it is the last, ol’ the creations of her genius. There is more mind, more soul, more true and substantial merit: it is the final Hash ing out of the diviner attributes of a lustrous Soul, before it takes its flight to the Maker of the Btars . —Mohdt Ircniiij A Urs. Mr. Rolette, of the Minnesota Council, has introduced a memorial to Congress, asking a division of the Territory on the parallel of forty-five degrees ten minutes, from the St. Croix to the Missouri. Minnesotaat present i is equal to five States the size of Indiana. Taking tho Assessment. The following good story we find in the last West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter : When tho immortal Col. was Asses sor of a neighboring Parish, he yvus wont to have a high old time. One day, as he was as sessing the valuables of tlie occupants of a log cabin, situated in the pine woods, lie in his usual urbane manner, “popped the questions” to the old woman, while the old mail had g lie out to procure some “corn cob oil” wherewith to regale his guest. “ How many horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, &0., have you got, my dear madam, and how much are they worth.” “ Well, tliar’s three old horses, hut they aint wutli a cent—three cows, but they’ve bin lost this spring two years—nary sheep, ’ccpt my old man, and he aint wutli a cuss ; but he .oi lers votes the Demmycrack ticket, and buys his whisky by the jug when he can get it a heap cheaper by the bar *l. The chickens were all stole the other night, an’ 1 hope to massy they’ll piz.en the scamp that hooked ’em.’ “ Very satisfactory estimate of your valua bles, particularly about the old man; but here’s something worth assessing, (pointing to a dir ty little urchin about five years old that was clinging to the old woman's gown,) how much do you value that little nigger at ?” “ Little nigger ! sake, alive! you infernal old rascal, do you dare to call my child a nig ger? Clare out o’ here, or I’ll knock the day lights out o’ you in a niinnit. Oh my ! to think l should live to he forty odd next class meeting and to hear my own child called a nig ger by such fellow as you !” By this time the old woman had worked her self up to a pitch of ungovernable fury, and raising her voice to a shrill yell she called out to tlie old man, to come quick and “chaw the Colonel up,” and we arc compelled by an in ward reward for veracity, to record that the Colonel’s old bay made six miles of bad road in better time than Lecomte ever did in his palmiest days. A deputy was sent to attend to the unfinished business in the settlement, and the Colonel’s remembrance of that day’s work lias “hoisted” him into the other ex treme, for the last and biggest fight he was in was occasioned by his entering upon his record when taking tho last census—six little mulat toes as the children of one of his constituents. A Japanese Gulf Stream. Lieut. Bent, of tlie United States Navy, read a paper before the Geographical and Histori cal Society, New York, on the 24th ult., in which lie showed from the records kept by the Japan Expedition, that there is also in the Pa cific a “river of the ocean,” flowing to the northward and eastward along the coast of Asia, corresponding in every essential parti cular with the Gulf Stream ol'the Atlantic.— There is an increased temperature of both air and water the moment the oceanic stream of that region is entered, but a predominating thermal change in tlie water, which almost invariably continues superior in temperature to that of the air until leaving the stream again. It is caused by the great equatorial current of tlie Pacific. Along tlie const of Formosa its strength and character are as decidedly marked as those of the Gulf Stream on the Florida coast. Its greatest velocity is in tlie Gulf of Yedo, where it is eighty miles per day. Its average velocity is from thirty to forty miles per day. Lieut. B. attributes the mild climate of Japan and California to the Pacific stream, and said that the Gulf stream has not a similar influence upon our coast, because the cold current flowing south intervenes between it and tlie shore. Theft at the Perry House. On the night of the 14th inst., four persons arrived in Columbus from Savannah, and were placed in tho same room at the Perry House, the place being crowded by visitors to the ra ces. In the morning, one of them was missing, and also two silver watches and some 50 or 60 dollars in money. Tlie supposed rogue came up on tlie train from Savannah and registered his name as James Harper, Louisville, Ky; but called himself Roberts on the cais. He was neatly dressed, smooth shaved, had light hair, is of a medium size, and weighed about 160 pounds. lie left anew blackleather carpetbag in the room, containing only a pair of blue jeans pantaloons and a check shirt. The pro prietors of the Perry House would pay liber ally for his arrest. ‘flic guests robbed were Messrs. Beeman and E. 15. Young, of Eufaula, and J. (J. Ala thews, of Newton, Alabama. They consider themselves lucky to have escaped with so slight losses.— Times of Saturday Evening. - - ■ - AYe regret to learn that the Hon. Green P.

The consequence was, that the engine of the passenger night train was thrown off the track, and the mails and passengers delayed. ” e arc happy to learn that the runner and fireman on the train escaped without serious injury, and that the passenger ear did not leave the track. But little damage was done to the engine.— Sac. Rif. Courtship. A lover should ho treated w ith the same gentleness as anew glove. The young lady should pull him on with (lieutmost tenderness at first, only making the simplest advance at a time, till she gradually gains upon him, and twists him ultimately round her little finger ; Whereas the young lady who is hasty, and in too great a hurry, will never get a lover to take her hand, but be left with nothing but her wjts at her fingers’ ends. —•* Baptist State Convention—Railroad Liber ality.
