COLUMBUS: Tliurndßy Morning, Marli 1 •'• 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 of Thompson-- •* Tlit* of the Spuing, iw aha paiwoil down III* vale. laift her robe on thetroosmid her breath on the gu10. ,? 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 Course last week, lias been purchased from Mr. McDaniel, by a company of gentlemen of this city, for the sum of .$6,000. 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 da, adds: “The appointment, wcliavc reason 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 first election in the now county of Har alson took place on the 12tli inst., and resul ted in the triumph of the Democratic ticket by large majorities. The vote given in was a lit tle over three hundred. Holcomb was elected Sheriff, V. A. Avow3ter Clerk of the Superior Court, Janies Clerk of the Infe rior Court, and Hamilton Ordinary. —* ♦ ■ We return special acknowledgments to lion. Hiram Warner, Hon. M. J. Crawford, and Hon. Robert Toombs, for Congressional documents and speeches. —+. The Hank of Middle Georgia, one of the new institutions incorporated by our late Legisla ture, and located at Macon, has already been organized by the subscription of the capital stock of $126,000, and the election of Isaac Scott as l'residentaml H. M. North as Cashier. “Whether the acts of this Topeka Legisla ture are in their tendency treasonable or oth erwise, or calculated to excite civil war, re 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. At a meeting held in Albany, N. V., tlie 13th inst., to aid the Freesoil cause in Kansas, about $6,000 was subscribed, of which amouut Gerrett Smith contributued $3,000, and E. C. Delevan SI,OOO. We loam from the Milledgeville Recorder, that the small pox has extended from Hall into Gwinnett county, and that the Superior Courts of both counties have been adjourned over in consequence. ♦ Sevoral persons have been bitten in Louis ville by mad dogs. On Tuesday the Mayor issued his proclamation to exterminate the en tire canine race. 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. A Model Letter from North Carolina. For the Daily Sun. Ed. Sun: The following letter Lorn North Carolina was received the other day by a gen tleman of tins city.

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. TELEGRAPHIC. Telegraphed for the Daily Sun, , New Orleans, March Ift.

In the Senate to-day, Air. Douglas reported a bill authorizing the people of Kansas to form a State Government when they have the re quisite population. 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. COMMEKOI.A.J OKKICK. OF TIIK DAILY gl v * Columbus, Gii., March % ...
