LARGEST CITI CIRCULATIOSi.
The Weather.
After several days of very disagreeable and
chilly weather, which indicated the unwilling
ness of old Winter to relax his icy hold, the
clouds were yesterday dispensed, a genial sun
shone out with spring-like warmth, an i the
afternoon was one of the most pleasant of the
season. We observe that some of the peach
and plumb trees are now in bloom, and that
the green buds begin to develop themselves on
many of the forest trees. A lew days’ contin
uance of such geninl weather, and we may
realize in all its living beauty the happy figure

Nature will rejoice in the return of her gala
season, an 1 all the animal and vegetable crea
tion will exult in so pleasant a deliverance trom
a winter of unusual sevority and duration.
Our river has for two day's been risiug,
without much rain in this locality, and it is
now several feet higher than it was on Sunday.
There must have been heavy rains up the
country to produce this swell, mid we may
therefore reasonably anticipate that it will be
the longer in subsiding.
The Foreign news now due by the stcuui
-liips Quaker City and Persia—the former of
which sailed from Liverpool on the 6th inst.,
and the latter on the 8th —is looked for witli
much interest. These arrivals will probably
enable us to determine whether the war in
Europe will continue, or a peace be concluded,
ami the decision of this i|uestiou either way is
likely to have a marked effect uncommercial
matters; it is probable that they will more
definitely inform us of the intended course of
the British Government in reference to the
questions at issue between England and the
United Stales; perhaps the intentions of Eu
ropean powers in regard to Central American
alia'rs may be more clearly developed; and
possibli/ we may get some reliable news con
cerning the long-missing Pacific.
Senator Douglas’ report on the Kansas ques
tion is represented to be a most powerful and
convincing document. The members of Con
gress iiave testified their high appreciation of
it by subscribing for the printing of two hun
dred thousand copies. It is generally conced
ed that the reports of Mr. Stephens in the
House and Judge Douglas in the Senate have
utterly demolished the superstructure on which
the abolitionists found their reasoning in the
Kansas case.

Wo observe that complaints of the lack of
-weet potatoes lit for planting are very gener
al, and the probability is that in many loca
tions the crop of this year will be much less
than usual, on account of the difficulties of pro
curing plantings. It is a crop second only in
importance to the corn crop in the Southern
States, and a material dimunition of the year
ly yield will be a great loss and inconvenience.
The Times states that Frank Allen, the
winner of two races over the f'hattahoocheo

The Southern Recorder, in contradictingtiio
report that Gov. Johnson had appointed Linton
Stephens, Esq., attorney for the Stato in the
case pending in the Supreme Court relative to
the boundary line between Georgia and Flori

to believe, which Mr. Stephens has received
from Gov. Johnson, was in reference to the
boundary line between Georgia and Alabama,
and not between Georgia and Florida, as re
ported.’’

The Hank of Middle Georgia, one of the new

“Whether the acts of this Topeka Legisla
ture are in their tendency treasonable or oth

mains to be seen.— Augusta Constitutionalist.
Wo submit to our respected eoteniporary at
Augusta, thatnotbingof the sort “remains to be
seen. The installation of a revolutionary gov
ernment in Kansas, while the vogularly consti
tuted authorities hold and exorcise power in
another portion of the Territory, is of itself
treason, and needs no “acts of the Legisla
ture” to confirm it. Two legal governments
cannot exist at tixe same time—one must be
revolutionary and provocative of civil war:
and the duty of the Federal authorities to
maintain law and order is just as imperative
before the Freesoil Legislature passes a single
“act as it will be after it shall have organized
and directed armed opposition to the authority
of the United States.

Party Insubordination
It is very apparent that party spirit in our
country is every year becoming more lawless
aud revolutionary in its manifestations. Not
content with the most objectionable and un
scrupulous proceedings to make “capital” and
obtain the victory at the ballot-box, political
parties of late have in many instances exlii it
od a spirit of contempt for the laws and rebel
lion against the established forms prescribed
by usugo and constitutional requirements. In
several States, at the present time, the work
ings of this factious spirit are developed in a
conflict of authority and the bringing about of
a state of things little better than anarchy.—
We need not allude particularly to the Kansus
imbroglio, which is well understood by our
readers, and has involved the whole country
in the excitement attending it. The State ol
Wisconsin is also at present distracted and ex
cited by the dispute attending the late Guber
natorial election. The incumbent holds on to
his scat in defiance of a popular majority
against him, and the claimant demands it by
proceedings which are perhaps in themselves
unlawful and irregular. The two branches ol
the Legislature differing in their choice and
party affinities, the disgraceful squabble is
further complicated by their dissentions and
adhesion to party iustoad of law. In New
Y ork, two claimants for a scat on the Supreme
Court Bench sit daily with the Court, aud the
highest tribunal of the Slate is thus degraded
by the disputes of party, and seems incompe
tent to lid itself of the contempt and odium
attaching to its anomalous condition. The
Legislature being so constituted that no party
can control a majority, and the Governor hav
ing commissioned a Judge who was beaten at
the popular election, there seems to be an irre
concilftbloconflict between the different depart
ments of the Government, and confusion and
disorder is the consequence. In Louisiana too
(with shame we include a Southern State in
this disgraceful category) the mad aud reck
less spirit of party lias set law and order at
defiance, and the city of New Orleans exhibits
the spectacle of a great town with two acting
Sheriff's and corps of deputies ; the law-abiding
portion of the community distracted and per
plexed as to which is the legal officer, and the
rogues hoping to escape the operations of the
law through this uncertainty as to its author
ized executors. We have heretofore noticed
the action of the Legislature deposing the
Know Nothing Sheriff, on the ground of fraud
and violence at the polls, and conferring the
office upon a Democrat. Yesterday we learn
ed by telegraphic dispatches in our exchanges
that Air. Hufty, the officer deposed, had refus
ed to surrender the station to Air. llell, the
Legislative appointee, and that the latter had
opened anew Sheriff’s office in the city !
We do not undertake to say which party is,
in these several and notable instances of in
subordination to law and authority, acting the
part of factionists or revolutionists—indeed,
it would puzzle us, with the confused and con
flicting statements before us, to come to a de
finite conclusion as to any except the Kansas
case, with which the public is already ac
quainted. Hut we do insist that these violent
and unscrupulous manifestations of party spir
it are hurtful and disgraceful in the extreme,
aud that they demonstrate the necessity of
more definite legislation to regulate popular
elections and the duty of officials entrusted
with the commissioning power, as well as more
stringent laws for the punishment of refracto
ry claimants or retainers of office. It is evi
dent that party spirit lias now discarded the
precedents of quiet submission to law aud to
the action of majorities, which have heretofore
guided and restrained excited political parties,
and that the strong arm and stern severity of
the law can only bring about an observance of
constitutional and legal enactments for ascer
taining and establishing the rule of the majori
ty of the people and carrying out their will
when legally expressed.

Beyond the Altamaha.
Mr. llcriott, the intelligent and gentleman
ly chief engineer of the Savaunah and Gulf
Road, has lately been over much of the ground
lying between the Altamaha, at Doctor’s town,
and tho initial point of the Alain Trunk line.
11c found the country very favorable for rail
road construction. The distance is probably
not more than 16 miles. Air. lleriott expects
to have a surveying corps in the field next
week. Their work will be accomplished in the
course of a month. When done the company
will doubtless at once proceed to put the space
between the Altamaha and the eastern termi
nus of the Alain Trunk under contract.
Y\ o regret to learn that the high stage of the
river contiuuos to interfere very seriously with
the progress of the work on the Altamaha
bridge.— Sav. Journal.
YVc understand that David A. Naltcl, the
man who shot Hogue at the Exchange Hotel
in November last, was arrested a few days
siace in Georgia, and will soon be brought
here for trial. We have not heard the partic
ulars, hut merely give the rumor in relation
to the matter.— Mont. Arfr.
False Pretences.
This morning a man about forty years of
age, with a brilliantly illuminated nock hand
kerchief, and the rest of h s costume in gone
to-seed condition, appeared at thePolicef'ourt,
and walked doubtfully within the bar. Some
business being transacted, lie waited anxious
ly until it was finished, and then walked up to
the desk, saying—
“ Judge, L want a warrant.’
The justice, who was busy making out some
“delivery papers” for an individual who had
just been convicted of “something,” merely
said “Eh? VVliat?” and went on ehicograph
ing liis irrevocable edicts. After some time,
“ Seedy” broke out again with—
“ Square, 1 want a warrant.”
•• Well,” said the justice, very blandly,
“ and what do you want a warrant for?”
“Fo false pretences,” said seedy, “ a
man—’ ’
“ Well, well, but hold on ; who is the indi
vidual you wish to arrest ?
“It was Jimpsou—and he went and— ’
*• Well, now stop,” said the justice, waxing
impatient, “you just answer my questions, 1
and we'll have it all right. Now, what did ‘
Jimpsou do ?”
“ Wall you sec, Judge, lie came false pro- ;
tcuCcs on me. 1 was just going to roost, and
you see, Square, Jimpsou met me in the hall,
and says he, Lank, come into my room and
have a little game of bluff. 1 told him that 1
know'd nothing about bluff, and he said he’d
show me ; so 1 went in.”
“ And what did you do then ?” said the jus
tice, becoming interested.
“ Wall, Jiiupson showed me how they bet
on pars, and them as liad.tlic most pars took the
pile what was up. I won two or three pots,
and then Jimpsou won a small one.”
“ Well,” said the justice, screwing his chair
nearer the applicant for a warrant for false
pretences, well ?”
“ Then Jimpsou he dolt, and 1 swar, es thar
wasn’t three queens in my hand. I says I’ll
bet ten dollars on three pars —and says J imp
son, says be, an’ I’ll ace that ’ar, and I’ll go
you ten dollars better.”
“ Well, go on,” said the justice, getting more
and more interested—“ what then ?”
“ Then I got a little sheared, but I kuowed
that three queens was a blessed good hand,’cause
Jimpsou said at first that them as had the
most pars took the pot,.and I went him ten
dollars better.”
“ Well, then,” said the justice, rising and
leaning over the sideof the justice’s box, “what
then?”
“ Wall, Jimpsou looked at liis hand again,
laughed, an’ said, ‘I see that ’ar, and I’ll go
you twenty dollars better —and can yop beat
four kings ?” says .Jimpsou. That skeart me
worse ’on ever, as T knowed three queens
couldn’t beat four kings, and so I didn’t bet —
and so he took down the pile; and now I want
a warrant on Jimpson for false pretences.”
“ A on can’t have it,” thundered the justice;
“ on what grounds do you claim it ?”
“ Wall, Square, you see Jimpson tjsked me
if 1 could beat four kings—and T knowed that
three queens—”
“ On what grounds do you claim the war
rant ? you lost the money, didn’t you?” asked
the justice.
“ Y'es, but you see 1 licit three queens, and
Jimpson asked me if I could beat four kings—
and 1 knowen three queens wouldn't beat four
kings, so I throwed up, and lie took the pile.
And he never had four kings ; so consequently
lie took my money under false pretences. Give
us a warrant, Square.”
“AY hat did .Jimpson hold?” asked the
Square.
“ Ho never lielt nothing but two little par!”
The complainant narrowly dodged a whack
from a tremendous fist, as the justice sank into
his arm chair witli a sigh, while the victim
went off lamenting, execrating the law that did
not allow a man to seize the pot when lie belt
tiiree queens, and a law that permitted a l'eller
to pull down the pile when he “haint but two
little par.”

Mysterious.
Under this heading the Alexandria (Red
lliver) Democrat, of Tuesday, lias the following
statement:
On Thursday hist, the 21st inst., about
twelve miles from this place, the body of a
man was found lying in a small creek, known
as Hooper Creek, in a horrid and mutilated
state; most of tho clothes and flesh having
been torn to tatters by flic wolves or wild hogs
in the neighborhood.
Air. Isaac Tyler, the person that discovered
the body and from whom we gain our infor
mation, has furnished us with the pocket-book
found near the body, and we find from memo
randums, receipts, kc., that the name of the
deceased was Maj. Lewis Alorris, late U. 8.
Consul at Campcachy, 1848.
Tlie deceased was an elderly mail, his hair
being quite grey. YVc will also state that in
the pocket-book were found a pair of specta
cles and several finely engraved visiting cards:
‘Major Lewis Alorris,
I S. Consul, Campcachy, Alexicu.’
------
Fate of the Pacific.
The probabilities connected with the absence
of the Pacific, —in view of the intelligence by
the Arabia, —arc touched upon by all the New
York papers. All now look with hope and
anxiety for intelligence from the Western isles.
The Courier says:—“Our hope (of the Pa
cific) is yet strong. Our latest dates from
the Western Islands are to the 3d of February,
and we shall look with much solicitude for the
next intelligence from those islands, which is
likely to be received here about the latter part
of this month.”
The Journal of Commerce says:—“There
is only one circumstance that tends to identify
those doors (seen by the Edinburg) as belong
ing to some steamer, instead of a packet, viz:
that ocean steamers generally have a cabin on
dock, whereas packets do not; and that, in
case of a steamer going down, some of the
cabin doors might possibly float off and lodge
on the icc. These considerations may narrow
the circle of conjecture as to what vessel, if
any, lias been lost, but it does not establish
the loss of the Pacific.”
The Tribune says:-—"lt is now fifty days
since she put to sea, aud if she hail met with
an accident, and still kept on her course, sho
could hardly have failed to reach our coast be
fore this. Possibly, however, she lias sailed
in a crippled condition for the Azores or Wes
tern Islands. If she has attempted this, five
and twenty days would be a fair allowance of
time for her to reach Fayal. Supposing her to
have arrived safely there in that time, we
could scarcely hear from her in less than thir
ty days more, and might not under forty or
titty. The communication with the Western
Islands is wholly by sailing vessels, and the
intercourse uufrequent. ’ ’
The Sun says:—“There is no sufficient
cause for abandiug hope of her safety. She
may soou be heard from at the Western Isles,
though in a disabled state.”
The fact that the “Edinburg” picked up
none of the articles seen, which might then
have been identified, is also generally com
mented on.
Some of the N ew York papers doubt the truth
of the report of Walker’s proceedings against
the Nicaragua Transit t’ompany.

Earthquake at San Francisco.
We gather the following particulars of the
earthquake in California from San Francisco
papers of the 20th of February. The Herald
says :
“ The severest shock of earthquake ever ex
perienced in this vicinity since the settlement
of California by Americans, occurred on Fri
day morning, at just twenty-four minutes past
five o’clock, in this city and vicinity every
building shook to its foundation, and in some
quarters the houses were swayed and rolled as
vessels in a heavy sea. The inmates of every
dwelling wore awakened, and some even
thrown from their beds, so violently was the
shock.
“ Many persons rushed into the streets, and
but that the circumstance of their sudden ap
pearance was of a character to produce sensa
tions of terror rather than merriment, the
scene would have been most ludicrous. The
large hotels were depopulated instanter, and
in the general rush, articles of furniture were
thrown down, occasioning noises which added
considerably to the clatter and confusion caus
ed by the earthquake.
“ The last shock was preceded by a sound as
of a heavy gust of wind passing through the
cordage of a vessel, and the motion was
accompanied by a rumbling noise, like that
which is produced by a heavily freighted vehi
cle passing rapidly over a wooden bridge.—
The shock occurred twenty-four minutes past
6 o’clock, apparently ranging from southwest
to northeast, and lasted about fifteen seconds.
Tlie motion was horizontal and undulating.—
Some persons describe tlie motion as of a whirl
ing nature, but this could not have been the
case, without occasioning much greater dam
age to the masonry of the brick and stone
buildings.
“ The consternation among the inmates of
tlie large hotels occasioned scenes which may
be better imagined than described. The pop
ulation of the Ilassette House rushed, tumbled
or precipitated itself down the stairways and
into tiie street; and such an array of beauty
unadorned was never before witnessed in San
Francisco. The edifice, it is said, shows no
marks of injury by tlie shock. The scenes at
AA'ilson’s Exchange, St. Nicholas Hotel, and
International Hotel, were equally remarkable.
The occupants of Wilson's Exchange took re
fuge in the Tehama House, which is a frame,
and consequently in less danger than the oth
er. Alany of the inmates of the International
found their way cn masse to the Plaza, where,
like their companions in misery, they shared
each with the other such articles of apparel
as had been caught up in the hurry of flight.
The Alta Californian says :
“ Instances of persons being thrown out of
bed, of clocks stopping, breaking of windows,
cracking of walls and disarranging of house
hold tilings generally, are entirely too numer
ous to mention. The whole city was in up
roar, and the entire population a good deal
alarmed, while many were nearly frantic.—
People rushed wildly into the streets in their
night clo lies, and stood amazed and nstonnded
at wliat had happened.”

Central America—Walker and the Transit
Company.
Washington Correspondence of the Charleston News.
Washington, Alarch 14.
The news received by the arrival of the Pro*
metheus from Nicaragua, is of highly exciting
interest. Lt shows that AValker lias determin
ed to bring things to ail issue at once, and to
stand upon the live-long or die-right-off prin
ciple. He has hurled defiance into the teeth
of Britain, by laughing at the mockery of her
Mosquito protectorate, and taking possession
of the country which she lias assumed to pro
tect. He will now very soon settle the destiny
for some time to come of the South American
Republicans. They must either recognize his
government and show a disposition to cultivate
relations of amity with Him, or else make an
aggressive war upon his dominion in Nicara
gua : failing to do so, they give him time to
marshal such an amount of forces as will ena
ble him to make war upon them.
Walker is a shrewd man. lie does not fear
England, though he knows that a contest be
tween his forces and hers, would be like that
of a pigmy contending with a giant. He taunts
her for the very reason that he knows that the
very moment England attempts to assume any
power in that region, that moment the United
States would have to maintain the integrity of
the Clayton and Uulwer treaty by force of arms
if necessary. In that contingency it would
be the policy of the United States to recognize
Walker and his government.
As for his seizure of the property of the Ni
caragua Transit Company and tlie repeal of
I its grant, no one has any sympathy for it. It
never fulfilled the conditions of the grant pro
viding for the payment by the Company to the
Nicaraguan Government of a certain sum an*
1 nually. The failure to pay these sums invol
ved the forfeiture of the grant.
Indeed it was tlie accumulated non-payment
of these yearly amounts which had reached nu
extent so as almost to preclude the payment of
it on the part of the company, that caused it to
i aid in substituting Walker’s Government for
the preceding dynasty of Nioarngua. It has
indeed placed a stick in Walker's hands to
break its own back, lie justly contends that
debts due tlie old government accrue to the
new, aud that the failure of the Transit Com
pany to pay liis government what they owe it
justifies the confiscation of their property. This
right of way and grant which tho Transit
Company has solely enjoyed for many years is
a valuable one, aud by it alone the government,
if it hires it out prudently, can sustain itself.
There are many new companies who would
step into the late shoes of the Transit Compa
ny and pay a good bonus for the privilege.
