Sale of Lots in Brunswick
We observe that the proprietors of th* “< ity
of Brunswick,” Gn., thinking the present a
favorable opportunity to dispose of their
property, advertise that they will sell 300 buil
,|im; lots at public auction in the town, on tho
loth of May next. We, mention this sale for
the benefit of such as may be inclined to make
investments on the strength of the really
promising prospects of Brunswick as a com
mercial seaport.

More Goa at Washington.
We speak not figuratively, for Washington
is abundantly supplied with the description of
gas usually alluded to in that sense. But
Mr. Menchant, from the committee on the Dis
triot, has reported a hill incorporating anew
(las Light Company of Washington and George
town. The Organ says that this company
propose to supply gas at $3 per 1000 cubic
feet, instead of $4, the price charged by the
present company. That paper further says
that the consumption of gas at Washington is
very great “in consequence of the large
amount required hy Government. ‘1 he whole
country is interested in a roductionof the cost
of gasat Washington, audwcthcrotorehopc that
die hill will lie passed. There arc other cities
that we wot of, whoso consumption of gas is
also considerable, without aid from Govern
ment officials, and we wish that they too could
get the article cheaper and better.
The Charleston News contains a notice of
the arrest in that city, on Friday night, of
Calvin Lewis, an escaped convict from the
Penitentiary at Milledgovillc, who wus some
time since sent there for robbing the Georgia
Railroad Depot at Augusta.

The Governor of Ohio has demanded of the
Governor of Kentucky the surrender of the
negro woman charged with the murder ot her
child in Cincinnati, to be tried for that offence
according to the laws of Ohio; and Col. Gaines,
the owner of the woman, lias placed her at the
disposal of the Governor of Kentucky to meet
the requisition. The fugitive slave law having
been vindicated and upheld in this case,
though at an immense cost, tlie slave will no
doubt bo surrendered to the Executive of Ohio
as a fugitive from justice. Now let us sec
whether the Governor and people of Ohio will
act with liko good faith and fidelity to the con
titution, the next time a fugitive slave is de
manded of them by the Executive of Kentucky.

Cigars.
The Havana correspondent of the New Orle
ans Delta, writing outlie Bth inst., and speak
ng of the Cuban “Balania,” or commercial
luminary, for 1854. which had only then been
published, says:
“ The number of cigars stated in the llaliui
/.a to have been exported from the whole island
in 1854 is 251,8155,000, which are valued at
81,180,578 87.1.
“ 1 have a pretty intimate personal knowl
edge of the cigar trade, and substantially state
my belief that the lowest average value that
can he put upon the cigars exported from this
city is sls per M., whilst the price current for
1851 very reliable authority) places the
number of cigars exported from this city alone
in that year, at nearly 204,000,000, and 1 be
lieve the same rule would apply to almost ev
ery article exported. Then there are millions
of cigars of which no entry is made at the
Custom House, to avoid the 75 cents per
thousand, export duty.
“It will scarcely answer for mu to let the
public into all the little secrets of our trade in
cigars, but l positively attirni that not one
tenth of the things retailed in the United
States as Havana cigars have heen manufac
tured in this city.*’
The Mule Market.
A correspondent of the Louisville Courier,
writing from Paris, Kentucky, Ith of March,
says:
“ S. M. llibler, cue of the light auctioneers,
reports about 1,800 mules offered. He sold
near 700 head for $60,000 : 42 head of mules,
three years old this spring, sold at $l3B per

Rhode Island have nominated G. W. Hoppin
for re-election. They split, however, in refer
ence to a portion of the State ticket, and euch

Thk New Youk Hums. —The New York
Daily News (Hunker organ) says: “It the
admission of the Hard delegation from
this State to the Cincinnati Convention depen
ded upon the votes of those delegates trom
other States already elected, there would be
a majority of probably two to one, so far as we
can learn, in their favor.” The News says
that at the last fall election in New York 50,-
000 or 75,000 Hards were “in the Know Noth- I
iug cauip,” hut that they will not stay there if
a nomination “tit to be made is made at Cin
cinnati. It and its party do not consider the
re-nomination of President Pierce as a nomi
nation “fit to be made.” It says : “No Frank
Pierce, no man connected with him, no man
likely to repeat his errors, confide in his friends,
or perpetuate his policy as to the State, can
expect to draw back these Hard Know Noth
ings to their allegiance.”
The Savannah Republican (Know Nothing)
charges that the Journal and the News of that
city, neutral or independent papers, are in
reality “masked batteries” to open and keep
up a tire on the American nominees. The
News denies this, and re-asserts its independent
character. The Journal repeats that it never
professed neutrality, though it has little liking
for party controversies or contests. It reiter
ates the editor’s announcement in his prospec
tus_: “ Those who know him will not, and
others must not be surprised to tind the paper
an advocate of Democratic principles.”

The public mind is now somewhat alarmed
about the steamer Arctic, which, under tlie
command of Lt. Hartstene, was diapatched in
search of tlie Pacific. Iler orders were to ex
plore tlie most northerly track, and as her re
turn before this time was anticipated, appre
hension as to her safety is now aroused.—
Some, however, indulge in hope that she lias
found tlie Pacific in the ice, and not being able
to extricate her at once, is lying by to aid her

The New liine of Telegraph.
Mr. D. 11. Craig, agent of the Associated
Press in New York, has addressed a letter to
Don. Amos Kendall in relation to the improv
ed line of telegraph recently patched up by
Mr. Hughes. The line is already in operation
a greater part of the way between New York
and Washington, and according to Mr. ( raig,
may speedily be expected to _ supersede the
, House and Morse instrument from Halifax to
New Orleans. Mr. Craig savs :
If, in doing so, they should happen to deal
a death blow to the unprincipled parties who
have recently combined to swindle the Press
and the public by extortionary tolls, they will
receive, as they deserve, the thanks of every
business community over which the wires may
! pass.
I will state further, that, at the expiration
of three years from this date, you will see a
Hughes line extending from Halifax to New
’ Orleans, on the seaboard, and from New Y'ork
j to Buffalo in this .State ; and 1 do not hesitate
to add still further, that whenever and wherev
er these lines go into operation, the House
and Morse lines will be crushed out. No man
of telegraphic experience, who has the least
practical knowledge of the capabilities of the
Hughes instrument, and who knows the par
ties who own it, as well as the character of
the parties and the worth of the systems it is
designed to compete with, can anticipate any
other result. <>n the other side of the contest,
we shall have an inferior system worked with
instruments and wires so dilapidated that they
have been for years unreliable, in the hands of
superannuated managers, without adequate
means and without energy, and bent on per
petuating old abuses—managers whose latter
years have been passed in pecuniary squab
bles among themselves, who have never har
monized on any one point excepting ns to how
they Could the most closely grind the nose of
the public, and whose characters, moreover,
arc weighed down by a mass of odium almost
heavy enough to sink them even without com
petion, while on the other there will be a vast
ly improved system of telegraphing, with new
and thorough built lines, managed by a few
wealthy men of the highest social standing, of
great energy of character and large practical
experience in all business matters, and who
are firmly resolved on a thorough reform in
the telegraphic business throughout the coun
try. In a conflict between two such parties,
can any one doubt as to which side victory
will incline ?
Mr. Craig gives the following notice of the
Hughes machine:
The instrument known hy this name is the
invention of a gentleman of Kentucky, whose
name it bears, and is the result of many years
labor spent in ingeniouspractical experiments.
It may be called a Printing Press and a Tele
graph Instrument combined, for it prints all its
messages in large and plain Roman capitals.
Its rate of speed is twenty-eight hundred to
three thousand words per hour at each end of
of a Line of any length—making an aggregate
of from fifty-six hundred to six thousand words
per hour over one wire. The Hughes instru
ment demonstrates the practicability of send
ing and receiving messages in opposite direc
tions over tlic same wire at the same instant
of time, with the utmost ease, regularity and
reliability. It will consequently require but
one wire and one operator, at any given point,
to send and receive from four to six times the
number of words that could be transmitted in
tlie same period of time over two Morse wires
by the aid of four operators. Another great
advantage of this instrument over tlic Morse
and House inventions, is this: It can be work
ed on long circuits continuously and with the
most perfect accuracy in all states of the at
mosphere—neither rain, nor snow, nor mist,
having the least perceptible effect upon it.—
Thus, at seasons in which Morse and House
instruments are utterly powerless, the Hughes
machine will work as reliably as in tlic most
favorable weather. There arc also satisfacto
ry data for the assertion, that the Hughes ma
chine will work more perfectly on a wire of
one thousand miles in length than the House
or Morse instrument will on a lino of but one
hundred miles in length. The simplicity and
durability of tho new machine will compare
favorably with the Morse, and are vastly supe
rior in those respects to the House invention.
Several of the machines, intended for immedi
ate use, arc now completed. They have been
thoroughly tested on every point, by practical
telegraphists, who declare unequivocally that
they fully answer every expectation they had
formed of them from the invention’s claims.—
Those machines will soon he put into practi
cal use upon the new line above referred to
between this city and Philadelphia.
YVe sincerely hope the new Company may
! accomplish all that Mr. Craig anticipates, and
| wish them the most complete success. The
Morse line, like all monopolies, is effete and
corrupt, and seeks to make the public who use
it, pay for its inefficient management.—.tn

Congressional.
The Free toilers suffered a defeat in the
House of Representatives last Friday, which
doubtless annoyed them not a little.* It was
a motion for the previous question on the Kan
sas election case. Tlie vote stood 78 ayes to
9t; nays. So that these gentlemen will have to
hear a little more debate on tlie subject. Thus
far, if the YVashington Star is to be believed,
they have found the discussion non paying. (>f
the result, so far, that paper says, it lias been
to make it so plain that all now comprehend
the fact, that the cause of those who dub
themselves the Free State party of Kansas,
lias nothing whatever but the perversion of
truth and sheer pretensions to depend on.—
Not a single item of proof of the truth of the
allegations on which the power to send for
persons and papers is asked lias been attempt
ed to be adduced by any one es the many
gentlemen who have advoca'ed the adoption
of the resolution to that end.
Its supporters, (adds the Star,) have lost
ground woefully throughout the debate, be
cause that has made it plain that their case is
a mere budget of the sheerest false pretences.
YY e have no idea that their resolution can pos
ibly command the support of a majority of the
House, though it is very probable that a com
mission w ill be sent to Kansas to take testimo
ny. Tho result of their journey will be more
fully to expose the conspiracy and intrigues of
tlie emigrant aid societies and the Abolitionists
in the Territory to carry their points hy frauds,
misrepresentations, and violence.

A correspondent of the N. Y\ Herald says
that a Commission of British and Nicaraguan
Agents met at Grey town, and settled the Mos
quito dispute, and that the treaty was on its
way to England. The Central American Gov
ernments had united against Walker, and hos
tilities. it was anticipated, would shortly com
mence. Several European Governments had
issued instructions to their squadrons in the
Atlantic anti Pacific inrelation to events there.
Louisiana.
From the last annual report of the auditor
of public accounts of Louisiana, we learn that
the population of that stateconsists of 575,922
persons; of whom 262,083 arc slaves, 23,013
free colored persons, and 299,026 free whites.
The aggregate is ten thousand less than that
shown by the last previous report, the only
increase appearing in the free colored popula
tion. The effect of the fatal epidemics which
have been sweeping over Louisiana during the
last few years with such unusual malignancy
is here plainly visible. This fatality appears
also to have materially retarded the agricultu
ral development of tlie State, as wc learn
from the Now Orleans Delta that the statistics
of the present year show “an absolute falling
off in several important productions.” During
the year the State yielded 361,660 hogsheads
of sugar, 614,376 barrels of molasses, 340,585
bales of cotton, and 0,915,730 bushels of corn.
The area of cultivation has increased during
the year 42,378 acres, the total under culture
being 1,460,457 acres, of which 346,205 are
devoted to sugar cane, 541,912 to cotton, 566,-
944 to corn, and 5,396 to rice. The aggregate
assessed valuation of property in the State is
§319,854,654, being an increase of §19,858,-
478 in n year, and the total amount of taxes
assessed is §1,609,475, an increase of $580,-
568. The total number of acres of uncultiva
ted land subject to taxation is set down at
3,970,520; but this the Delta thinks must be
a misprint, as the same last year was set down
at 5,420,254 acres. The number of educated
youth is given at 68,098.
Canada.
The Canadian Ministry has been defeated in
Parliament, and has asked that body to allow
them two days to resign. The Governor is
very much perplexed, as there were hardly
men or party in Canada able to form a Govern
ment.
A correspondent of the New Y'ork Times,
writing from Toronto, Canada, mentions a
story which was current, of the discovery of
a plot having for its object the annexation of
Canada to the United States.
It is said that when Mr. Seward, sometime
ago in the United States Senate, spoke of the
probable conduct of Canada, in the event of a
war with England, he proceeded not on a
vage estimate of the state of public feeling,
but on tangible documentary evidence in tlie
shape of letters from influential parties on
this side, then actually in his hands. And it is
added, that the conspiracy lias been blown
upon, and that the Governor General is now in
possession of the names of eight members
of the Canadian Parliament, and of a number
of Canadian Magistrates, who have been en
gaged in treasonable correspondence with Mr.
Seward.
W e regret to learn that the gin house of Hon.
Jas. Searcy, Senator from llcnry and Dale,
was consumed by fire on Monday of last week,
and that Mr. Searcy himself met with a seri
ous injury in the effort to save his property
from destruction. The fire was communicated
accidentally from a burning brush heap at a
short distance otf, and made such rapid pro
gress, that Mr. Searcy who had entered the
gin house for the purpose stated, was forced
to jump from the scaffold, in doing which lie
suffered a fracture of the leg. so severe as to
cause the bone to protrude through the flesh.
His numerous friends will be glad to know
that lie is nevertheless doing well, and fast re
covering. —Enfaula Spirit.
A rumor is current in YVashington, to the
effect that the war upon American filibuster
ism, which has been hinted atbysome English
and French journals, will lie commenced in
the seizure of American steam packets and
other vessels bound to San Juan with rein
forcements for Walker. Another rumor states
that the North Star, which sailed from New
Yoi-k last week, and another packet which
sailed on the Bth iust., will be anticipated by
United States cruisers, and on their return to
this countrywill be libelled.
A Locomotive for Mexico.
The Philadelphia North American mentions
that asp endid locomotive had been built in
that city for a railroad in Mexico. The ma
chine is now complete, and will probably be
despatched withina periodof two weeks. Ifer
name is the Mosso Hermanos y Compania,
and she is intended to run upon the railroad
from Vera Cruz to a distance of fifteen miles,
which is as far as the road has been comple
ted. The weight is between fifteen and six
teen tons. The mountings are of German
silver, “find of fanciful as well as tasteful
workmanship, causing the engine to present
an unusually brilliant appearance. Tlie cost
was about eleven thousand dollar*.
Wonderful Elephants.
Mr. William Cooke's two wonderful per
forming elephants in England, have been pur
chased by Mr. Sands, the celebrated Ameri
can equestrian manager, at an immense cost,
for the circus of Sands k Nathans, and are
now on their way to New York in the packet
ship Northumberland. The astounding per
formances of these animals defies all descrip
tion, and lias been the theme of universal
wonder and admiration wherever they have
appeared. They stand on their heads and on
their hind legs, sit up and lie down at the
word of command, march and perform a va
riety of feats too numerous to bo described
here, but tlie most astonishing feat of all is the
ascension of one up a narrow inclined plane to
a height of between 20 and 30 feet, at the
tlie of which is a small circular pedestal. The
huge animal having accomplished the perilous
ascent stands on his head and hind feet alter
nately, which to be believed must be seen
clearly proving that, although so clumsy ill
appearance, they possess more than an ordi
nary share of agility.
