CORTTMTATTS: Friday Morning, March *l, !*-><*• LiVItUKNT CITV CIRCULATION. Another Move on the Stock Question. From the ofliciiii report of the proceedings of the City Council, published in yesterday’s Enquirer, we learn that at the meeting on Monday night Messrs. Patton & Mustion pro posed to subnfit the question, whether the city was legally or morally bound to complete and carry out the contract with them for the sale of city Stock in the Muscogee Railroad, to any three gentlemen “of the highest legal attainments, who have never formed or ex pressed an opinion on the subject, and equally friendly to both parties, and who have no di rect or indirect interest in the decision. ’ A motion was made to amend this by substitu ting a proposition to submit the question to a vote of the citizens of Columbus —one of the parties to the contract; but it was voted down. Another substitute proposed—to submit the question whether the city was legally bound to consummate the contract, to Hon. Hbenezer Starnes, Hon. C. J. Jenkins, and another gen tleman to be chosen—was also voted down.— The vote upon the adoption of the proposition of Messrs. Patten & Mustian stood yeas 6, nays 4. The Mayor decided that it was re jected, as a majority of a full Hoard had not voted for it. . + • - The President of the Memphis nud Charles ton Railroad has informed the Memphis Bul letin, that the Governor of Alabama positively refuses to permit the Treasurer of the Stntc to pny over to the company the SBOO,OOO which the last Legislature voted to loan to the road. It will be remembered (hat the Governor vetoed the bill providing for this loan, but the Legis lature again passed it over his veto. His in structions to the .State Treasurer now are doubtless based upon the idea that it is uncon stitutional to re-issue the old State Hank notes, the only money in the Treasury wherewith to make the loan. The company, however, have negotiated bonds in ('harlcston to the amount of $250,000, which will enable them to push on the work to completion. Only 70 miles of tho road, from Tuscumbin to Pocahontas, remain to be fin ished. Cotton Estimates. We copy from the Charleston Standard an article on the prospects of the cotton trade, which is certainly highly encouraging to plan ters, if the estimates ami views of the writer he correct; and his conclusions appear to be based on sound calculations. There is, how ever, one deduction in the Standard’s article which we cannot regard as so well supported, viz; that the war caused a diminution of the demand and consumption last year, and that the conclusion of peace will bring about an in creased demand and larger consumption for the future. We do not believe that it can be shown that a single factory in England stop ped or curtailed operations in consequence of the war or any of its incidents; or that the supply needed for the consumption of the world was in the least diminished by a state of hostility in Europo. (>n the contrary, the war brought the Governments of Great Britain and Branco into the murket as purchasers and consumers of cotton fabrics to a much larger extent than they would have engaged in it in time of peace. It may also be safely assumed that the class ot population from which sol diers are recruited use ordinarily less of cotton goods for clothing, &c., than the supplies they arefurnished with by their Governments while in service. The extraordinary expenditures of those Government also, in the prosecution o! the war (which were chiefly provided for by loans and the issue of scrip) threw into active circulation a larger amount of money’ than would have been loosed from the iron chests of large capitalists and corporations in time of peace, and thus to some extent furnished em ployment and increased means to thousands of consumers. We are not believers in the great “pressure and decline of business attributed to the war ; and whatever may be its future effects, when taxes have to be increased to meet the “promises to pay” incurred in its prosecution, we incline to the opinion that it has not injured the business of manufacturers or pecuniarily oppressed the consumers of their fabrics. The Kentucky Legislature has adjourned, without passing the bill to employ a patrol on the Ohio river, or any other efficient measure to prevent the escape of slaves into the neigh boring free States. The alarming increase in the number of fugitives escaping was apparent to all, but the members differed and could not agree as to a remedy for the evil. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph estimates that four or five thousand head of cattle per ished by the severity of the luto winter in Harris county alone. It estimates their value at $-’O,OOO, aud that of the cattle in the whole State lost by the same cause at s.‘>oo,ooo to $1,000,000. ♦ The report that l)r. Hackhouso, of Pennsyl vania, hod keen appointed Consul to Havana turns out to be a mistake. He is appointed Consul to Hanover, and the telegraph render ed it Havana. We believe that the Consulship to Havana has yet to bo filled. It appenrs that the Governor of Oregon has already issued $4,000,000 in scrip to defray the expenses of calling out volunteer soldiers to fight the Indians. This war promises to prove a very expensive affair to the General Government. It is stated that Gen. Walker seized the boats of the Nicaragua Transit Company for debt, and it is doubted whether the company has a l ight to look to our Government to demand re dross. It is stated that the mail matter destroyed by the burniug of the cars, in the late accident on the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, was un usually large. The contents of Adams & Co.’s car, which was burnt, were valued at $50,(100. Hon. Arthur F. Hopkins has been elected President of Hit* Mobile and Ohio K&ilroad. TARTY VIEWS AND MOVEMENTS. Louisiana.—The Democratic Convention ol this State has appointed a full delegation to i the Cincinnati Convention, and left them un instrueted as to the candidate they arc to sup port for (lie Presidency. An effort was made by a party in Ihe convention, headed by Hon. I John Slidell, to instruct the delegates to vote for Mr. Huchunan, but this movement was de feated by a largo majority, lion. P. Soule leading the opposition. Mr. Soule was ap pointed one of the delegates for the State at large. A he is understood to be soured to wards the Administration for its course in re ference to the Ostcnd Conference and other matters ol foreign policy, we presume he is not favorable to the re -nomination of President Pierce. CoNNKt Tietr. —The Whigs ol this State have held a Convention and re-organized for the npprnachiug election. They have notui j nated lion. J. A. Rockwell lor Governor, J. I M. Carter for Lt. Governor, J. H. Trumbull for Secretary of State, and A. N. Baldwin for Comptroller. We believe that the State elec tion comes off in April. New Ha.mi’,siiihe.—Fuller returns of the State election in New Hampshire show that Metcalf, Northern Know Nothing, lias a very small plurality over Wells, Democrat, but that the vote for the Whig candidate (probably about 2,SOU in the State) has prevented an election by the people under the majority sys tem. The Senate is said to be equally divided politically, while the Know Nothing and Frcc soil coalition have a majority of about thirty in the House, and will of course control legis lation to suit their own purposes. The vote was the largest ever cast in the State, and the election was very warmly contested. A Home View.—Our eccentric neighbor, the Corner Stone, thinks that Mr. Fillmore will not accept the nomination tendered tohim. Cause why ? Because he knows that the Free soilcrs of the North intend to elect a man of their own, and will never be content with even a Northern politician “ that any portion of the South profess to adore as much as they do Fillmore.” It concludes that “the Black Re publicans will nominate Seward, and the North will elect him, unless there shall be a change of issues, which the South ought to make.” The Cincinnati Convention.— The Wash ington correspondent of the New York Courier makes the following estimate of the result of the first balloting in the Democratic National Convention, based upon the presumption that the delegates will vote by States: FOR I’lEllCE. FOR BUCHANAN. New England 41 New Jersey 7 New York 85 Pennsylvania 27 North Carolina 10 Delaware 3 South Carolina 8 Virginia 15 Georgia 10 Louisiana 0 Alabama 9 Kentucky 12 Florida 3 Texas 4 70 Mississippi (1 judue bouolas. Arkansas 4 (5 N. W. States 62 Maryland 8 Tennessee 12 Missouri 0 138 California 4 87 We think that this estimate is incorrect in giving Pierce the vote of all the New England States, and in giving Louisiana to Buchanan ; but perhaps its summing up will not be found very wide of the mark. Greeley in one of his letters from Wash ington, says that it is pretty well settled among the Democracy of Congress that Buchanan is to bo their candidate for the Presidency, while the Vice Presidency lies between Cobb, Toombs, Rusk, and Fitzpatrick. Latest Indian News. EIGHT PERSONS KILLED. Ity the Florida boat (just in) we have the following painful intelligence from the Penin sula ; Nows bad just arrived at that post of an at tack, by the Indians, on the settlers on the Alafia, about thirty miles east of Tampa. Four men, one woman and three children were killed and scalped, their houses wero burnt, and all the outrages aud barbarities that savages could invent, were committed.— Stir. Journal, 19/A. Massacre by the Indians. The schooner Wye, ('apt. Cunningham, ar rived at Key West ou the Sd inst. from Char lotte Harbor, with a number of fishermen from Wall s fisheries, who had been driven away by the Seminoles. She brought news of the mas sacre of four men belonging to Key West.— They had gone across the bay for oysters, when they were surprised by the savages, ruthlessly’ murdered, and hung upon a tree by the beach. Their bodies wero discovered by the United States troops, and received decent burial A Mountain Lake. Embosomed amid the toweriug peaks and eternal snows of the Sierra Nevada, at an ele vation of six thousand feet above the level of the sea, there is great lake which, strange to say, does not freeze even in the present severe winter. This is probably owing to its great depth and the constant motion of its waters; for it is only at the mouth of the small streams flowing into the lake that ice forms in any quantity. The l’laccrville American thus speaks of it: “A portion of the lake shores consists of marshes or meadows: and the numbers of trout, of all sizes, but many of from two to two ami a half feet in length, that are found iu these marshes and shallow waters during thawy days and nights of winter and spring, are al most incredible. Keller & Rogers, residents ot the valley the present winter, are progress ing finely in the construction of their twenty ton yacht, and will have it completed by the middle of May; but the tempting appearance of the trout in the shallow waters, induced them immediately to construct a yawl of one and a half tons burthen, which they have completed and launched; aud the case with which the piscatory inhabitants of the lake are taken, almost spoils the sport, Next sum mer the valley will be visited by hundreds. Shooting in Macon County. ” e learn that two very clever citizens of the neighborhood ofNotasulga, (Messrs.

Poverty wants some, luxury many, and ava rice all things. THE COTTON CROP AND PROSPECTS From tlic Cliarkwton Standard, March ISUi. The subject of the cottou crop is one of very considerable interest, not only to Planters who have not entirely disposed of the products of tlic lust year, but to merohauts and men through whose hands it is still slowly passing to its market of consumption. It is now be yond all question that the crop of the lust year will be very much in excess of any crop ever raised in the United States. It is true that the facilities for carrying it to market this year have been more than usually favorable. Rail roads have penetrated farther into the cotton gl ow ing regions, and rivers all over the South and West have generally been navigable. Hut the receipts, up to the latest dates, at all the Southern ports amount to 2,611,511 bales, be ing an increase, up to the same dates ol last season, of 854,309 hales, and within 250,000 hales of the whole crop of the lust season, and 325,000 hales of the year before, lt is not to be expected that the receipts from this time toward will be as heavy as they were from the same period last year ; but as last year they amounted to 1,000,000 bales, it is to be sup posed that they will not fall greatly short of 900,000 bales, and that the whole crop there fore will umouut to some little more than 3,500,- 000 bales. Such being the facts, it becomes a question of importance whether this amount of cotton can be disposed of without crushing the mar ket for that staple, aud in consideration of its iinpo tauce we have thought it proper to bring a few statements in that regard to the atten tion of our l eaders. The great centre of that commercial system, dependent upon cotton, is in England, and in noticing the statistics of the last few years, we find that on the Ist of January, 1855, the stock ou hand amounted to 551,340 bales. The crop of the last year brought to the markets of the United States, was 2,929,139 bales, and the stock on hand in England amounted, on the Ist of January, 1856, to 384,010 bales, showing a decrease of stock upon a crop of 2,929,139 bales of 167,- 330 bales, and leaving as a necessary inference that the consumption of the world, even under the circumstances of the last year, requires from the United States a crop of 3,096,469 bales. Has the consumption of the world increas ed ? This is a question upon which we have at least the data for approximation. In England, from the Ist of January to the Bth of Februa ry, 1855, the consumption amounted to 223,- 520 bales. From the Ist of January to the Bth of February, 1856, the consumption amounted to 247,930 —showing an increase, in a little more than five weeks of this year, over the consumption during the same time last year, of 24,410 bales. Whether thesame ratio of increase will be sustained, is, of course, questionable; but it is certain that, during the last season, consumption was stimulated by no unnatural causes. It was depressed, in fact, not only by the existence of war, but by a monetary pressure, which the war began to exert with great severity upon the commercial interests of the country. Up to the Bth of February, there was no prospect of a peace. The consumption of this season, therefore, was not occasioned by any unnatural expan sion, and as there is now almost the certainty of a peace, and of the expansions which peace will necessarily occasion, there is every rea son for believing that the ratio of consumption will be sustained and more than sustained in England, and, supposing that other sources of supply remain the same, that at least 250,000 bales more will be required of this country than were required before, and that the crop, therefore, to meet this extraordinary want without a further reduction of stock must reach 3,346,469 bales. But of the crop of the preseut year, a great er amount is being required for the consump tion of the United States. To the latest dates of the present year the total supply, including receipts and stock on hand on the Ist of Sep tember, amount to 2,752,594 bales ; to the same dates last year the total supply amounted to 1,885,940 bales. The exports and stock on hand and on shipboard amount at the present time to 2,343,988 bales, leaving a balance of 408,606 bales. The exports and the stock on hand and on shipboard amounted at the same time last year to 1,609,666 baUs, leaving a balance of 276,274 bales. The balance over the exports and stock on hand and on ship board, was, last year, as we sec, 276,274 bales, this year, it is 408,506 bales. Some of this has, doubtless, been burned ; and some inac curacies of statements in reference to stocks and shipments may have occurred, but acci dents and iuaecuracics are as liable to have occurred in the one statement as in the other; and we are induced to the eouclusion, there fore, the consumption of the United States du ring the current year, as compared with the last, is as 408 is to 276; or that since the Ist of September t here has been a total increase of consumption to the extent of near 130,000 bnles, which sustained, will give an increase for the year of over 250,000 bales. This, ad ded to tho crop required by England, will ren der a requisition for the two countries of over 3,596,000 bales. But Continental Europe also makes a fur ther requisition. To France the exports of the present season exceed the exports of the last year by 128,451 bales. To other foreign ports the shipments exceed those to the same dates last year by 162,737 bales, making an aggre gate increase of shipments to foreign ports, other than those of England, of 291,188 bales. This increase, if sustained, will give to other foreign ports a total increase of more than oOOjOOO bales. That it will be sustained is hardly probable, but that to this increase of shipment there has been an increase of requi sition, is scarcely to be questioned; and it would not be too much to say that theiucrcas ed requirements of Continental Europe for the present season, will fall little short of 300,000 bales. Supposing that these statements ap proach to accuracy, and that all other sources of supply arc permanent at the figures of the last year, we have thus the requisiti ms for a crop of 3,896,000 bales. It is to be doubted, however, whether the other sources of supply upon which Europe has to a considerable extent depended, will be sustained. It is believed, that from the East Indies alone, there will be a falling off 100,- 000 bales. Os this fact, however, we have not the data from which to make the calcula tion. It true, there will be the necessity for a crop of near 4,000,000 bales, to meet the con sumption of the world; but if not so, there would seem to be, at least, the necessity for a crop of more than 3,850,000 bales, and as this is more than the crop of the United States can reach by any reasonable estimato, aud as the stock on hand in England, on the Ist of Janu ary, was unusually low, so low in fact, as that without the prospect of so heavy a crop iu the United States, would have caused a panic among consumers, there is no reasonable ground for the apprehension, that any excess of our present product will press upon the murket; on the contrary, it is to be question ed, whether as the season closes, a deficiency may not appear, and prices advance to a high er range than they have touched for some time past.

To (he Editor of the Daily San : Mr. Editor— The establishment of a Crim inal Court in the city of Columbus, by an act of the last Legislature, makes it a duty devol ving upon us to select some suitable person to discharge the important and responsible duties of Judge of said Court, and in doing so the name of Michael N. Clarke, Esq., presents it self to our mind, as one eminently qualified to discharge the duties of that office, honestly and faithfully. Mr. Clarke lias been a resident of our city since its first settlement. That he is a good Statute Lawyer all will admit, and if lie will consent to the use of his name, and should be elected, we feel nohestation in say ing that the law so long as lie should be the gnardian for its administration would be faithfully and im partially executed. MANY VOTERS. Columbus, March 20, 1856 Spanish Silver Coin. It is stated that the Finance Committee of the United States Senate have matured a pro ject designed to lead to the gradual abandon ment and ultimate rejection of the small Span ish silver coins as part of the circulating medi um, and that it will forthwith be submitted to legislative action. The result of the experi ments to ascertain the value of the Spanish sixteenth, eighth and quarter of a dollar, is re ported to the Committee as indicating tlic first to be worth a fraction over five cents, the sec ond about eleven, aud the quarter about twen ty-three and twenty-four cents. The bill they have framed is believed to provide that the ex isting laws authorizing the circulation and es tablishing a value of all foreign coins, except the Spanish fractional divisions of the dollar, be at once repealed. As to these fractious, they allow them to be circulated for two years at the value of 5, 10 aud 20 cents respectively, and thereafter they are to be excluded alto gether from circulation. Hut at the mint they will at all times be received as bullion, and paid for by weight. The First Meeting of the Plenipotentiaries. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News thus describes the circumstances under which the Conference assembled: The Parisian public exhibited no great cu riosity to see the Plenipotentiaries, for the number of spectators assembled in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at one o’clock, was not greater than that which a respectable Punch and Judy show will attract any day in the week. Os the few assembled, the greater part were nurserymaids, washerwomen aud ’longshoremen, whose ideas of the functions of plenipotentiaries must be of the vaguest. The sergens de eillc on duty seemed quite disappoint ed at seeing so few people, for they rated those few for the mere sake, apparently, of showing their authority, and dislodged them repeatedly iu a most unnecessary manner from the posi tion they had taken up to see the great men arrive, lt was supposed that the Plenipoten tiaries would arrive in great state, dressed in court suits, and escorted by the guards of hon or. But this was not so. At precisely three minutes past one a modest looking brougham, scarcely remarked till it was within a few yards ot the Ministry, drove into the front gate, and halted at the foot of the grand stair case. The carriage contained the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries, Count Cavour and the Mar quis Villamarina. A single chasseur was their only attendant. They, like all the Plen ipotentiaries who followed, were dressed iu plain morning costume. As they ascended the staircase, a squadron of M. Walewski’s footmen, who were on the lookout, threw wide open the glass doors, and the Piedmontese Rep resentatives entered the hotel the first. A few minutes afterward came Turkey—Ali Pasha, the Grand Vizier, and Mcliemet Bey were dressed just like Europeans, except that they wore of course the inevitable red lez. The Grand Vizier wore a Talma, that might have been bought in Regent street. England and Austria followed shortly afterward, in remark ably unpretending carriages. There was then a pause of several minutes. People began to ask whether Russia would not find some excuse not to come. But at a quarter past one, a handsome carriage, with two chasseurs behind it, drove up at a rapid pace, containing the Russian Plenipotentiaries. Count Orloff stepped out first, and although he is seventy years of age, ran up the steps like a boy. 1 had an opportunity of seeing him well, for when he arrived at the top of the landing, he took off his hat as if to return the salute of the servants in waiting, and then turned round to see what had become of his colleague. Baron de Brunow got out of the carriage very slowly. His face was enveloped in an ample comforter; he walked up the stairs with a somewhat faltering step, aud his spare, bent form presented a striking contrast to that of his coadjutor. Count Orloff is a wonderful Woking man for his age. He is of large size, very erect, and his countenance denotes robust health and great resolution. lie has a very large head, covered with iron gray hair, cropped close. The expression of his features is quite Caliuaek, but as he smiled at Baron Brunow slowly mounting the stairs after him, he had a good-natured look.” Louisville Tobacco Market. The Louisville Courier reports tobacco in that market active, with sales on Tuesday of ninety-eight hogsheads green leaf, at prices ranging from 54.00 to $9,50 per 100 pounds.
