COL “CM BTTS:
Saturday Morning, Marr.li ‘Wi
liARGEST CITY CIRC CITATION.
Hon. Edward. Everett haa consented to deliv
er n lecture on the life and character ol \V ash
ington, at Richmond, Va., and Washington
( ‘ity, the proceeds to be appropriated to the
fund for the purchase of Mount Vernon, lie
delivered the same lecture in New York, and
the Tribune of that city, though admitting
that it was a masterpiece of elegance and elo
quence, violently abused and berated the lcc
tnror because he failed to speak of Washing
ton’s emancipation of slaves and other acts
which that paper regards as proving that he
was an abolitionist! 80 much for abolition
liberality and decency. Its fanatical Advocates
cannot bear even pure literature or religion,
unless tinctured with political abolitionism.—
Even a tribute to the Father of his Country—
the patriot whom no party can claim, but
whose fame rises above political divisions and
creeds—is distasteful to them, unless replete
with allusions to sentiments ami acts which
they scruple not to pervert to the encourage
ment of treason to tho Union which Washing
ton cemented and to the Constitution which he
aided so largely in perfecting !

The first stoainers of the season, two in num
ber, arrived at New Orleans from the upper
Arkansas river, on the 17th inst. One of
them had been fourteen months, ami the other
twelve months and 0110 day, lockod up in the
Arkansas river by the low stage of water.—
Both brought down heavy loads of cotton and
other produce.
We cut the following from its prominent po
sition under the editorial head of one of our ex
changes from Northern Georgia:
“A few sacks of No. 1 Flour and a tine lot
of fresh Eggs, for sale at tho Standard OHiec.
Call soon.”
We presume that our fortunate cotemporary
lias been receiving “remittances” of produce
from his subscribers in payment of dues, and
now wishes to exchange a portion of his “ re
ceipts” for cash wherewith to buy paper, &c.
A primitive and fair business arrangement,
that, and one tlmt illustrates without indirect
permutation the mutual dependence of two
branches of industry.
The Governor has issued his proclamation,
requiring the officers of tho several banks in
this State, to make out and transmit to him,
within thirty days from the 13th inst., a true
return of the condition of such banks, with the
names of their presidents, cashiers, and stock
holders.
There are now nineteen United States ves
sels of war at the Navy A'ard near Norfolk,
viz : four ships of the line, three of the new
steam trigates, three steamers, four frigates,
four sloops-of-war, and one brig. They carry
789 gnus in all. This statement shows that
an invading tleet would not find us altogether
unprepared, and that Great Britain or France
would have to abandon the blockade of the
Baltic in order to operate effectually against
us even in the commencement of hostilities.

New Banks In Georgia.
Tho following is a list of the new Banks
created by our Legislature during its recent
session :
Mechanics it Planters’ Bank, Savannah.
Exchange Bank, Griffin.
Hamilton Bank, Hamilton.
Bank of Columbus, Columbus.
Bank of Fulton, Atlanta.
Bank of Cuthbert, Cnthbert.
North-Western Bank, Ringgold.
Greensboro’ Bank, Greensboro’.
Bank of Morgan, Madison.
Central Bank of Georgia, Macon.
Unless our legislators wake up speedily to
the evils of hasty legislation, we presume that
in a vory few years the number of counties in
tho Stato will be doubled, and there will be a
“ Bank” in nearly every one of them. We
shall then soon exhibit the spectacle of a State
*pH/ 11 p and hunted.

An act to “ ereate and organize the Atlan
tic and Pacific Railroad Company” has been
passed by the Congress of Mexico. The capi
tal stock is to be ten millions of dollars. There
is already a railroad in progress of construc
tion from Vera Cruz towards the city of Mexi
co, and a small portion of it is in running or
der ; but we are not informed w hether this line
is to be a portion of the “Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad,” or what places are to bo the ter
mini of the latter road.
Rev. Dr. Gumming, of London, a very popu
lar and eloquent divine of the Established
Church, has published works maintaining that
the “end of tho world” will occur m 1865;
but he has taken the precaution to extend the
copyright of his books beyond that time ! The
Doctor is a provident man, and we admire the
precautions ho takes to provide against acci
dents or mistakes. Wo trust that he may live
os long as his copyright, and his works long
“after him.”
The store of Lallerstedt & Denting, at Au
gusta, was robbed by burglars on Tuesday
night, and on Wednesday portions of the stolen
articles were found 011 the premises of John
Body and Thomas Gibbons of Hamburg, aud
Mrs. Sharkey, of Augusta. These persous
were all arrested and committed.

Six hundred and ninety-one tons of iron for
the Savannah and Gulf Railroad are now on
the way from Wales to Savannah. This iron
is anew supply to make up for the loss of a
large sliipment a few months ago.
Capt. Luce (the commander of the Arctic
until she was lost) gives it as his opinion that
the pieces of furniture seen from the propeller
Edinburg belonged to the Pacific and were
parts her wreck. On the other hand, Mr. Col
lins doubts whether they belonged to the Pa
cific, and has strong hopes that she may yet be
heard from by one of the next arrivals from
the Western Islands.
Corn in Nashville, Tennessee, is quoted from
fifteen to twenty cents per hushel
Walker in Nicaragua.
That the great and inevitable crisis in the
affairs of the new Government of Nicaragua is
near at hand, is evident enough; it is palpable
that the collisions impending and unavoidable
must very shortly either eventuate in the ex
pulsion of Walker and his North American
army from the country, or in the strengthen
ing of his rule and the expansion of his terri
tory. Should lie be able to repel the invasion
threatened by the other Central American
States, Mosquitia will soon fall into his hands,
and he will then possoss a territory of large
extent, embracing an extensive coast on either
ocean, and of great fertility and varied natu
ral resources. A glance at this territory as
delineated on the map, with its commercial
advantages and central position among tho
small States of the Isthmus, will demonstrate
its importance and future commanding influ
ence. If Mosquitia (now tho least civilized
and most sparsely settled of the petty Central
American States) should he annexed to Nicar
agua, adventurers from the United States
would rapidly settle and develop it, and a very
few years would make Nicaragua the coutrol
ing and absorbing power in that portion of
the continent. It is a knowledge of this fact,
stimulated no doubt by European intrigues,
which makes tho surrounding Status so jeal
ous of Walker. There is another struggle to
maintain a “balance of power,” and Mos
quitia is the first “sick man” whose case Dr.
Walker undertakes to manage. Tho patient
disposed of, he will also lie administrator on
his effects, aud will settle the estate by con
solidation instead of distribution.
But there are great difficulties in the way
of Walker and his schemes, and we appre
hend that without the indirect countenance of
our Government, to the extent at least of non
intervention on its own part and a mainten
ance of the Monroe doctrine, he will not be
able to maintain even his present foothold.—
The remarks of Mr. Clayton the other day in
the Senate (which wc notice more particularly
elsewhere) we four forebode opposition rather
than aid and comfort from tho United States:
aud the following article from the Panama
Herald (published near the scene of action)
discloses a feeling and condition in Nicaragua
itself which arc not promising for the new
Government and its plans:
Notwithstanding the strong sentiments ex
pressed by our United States exchanges in fa
vor of the Walker Government in Nicaragua,
wc have never yet mot with one solitary rea
son to change our first opinion, which wo have
frequently expressed, that not only will Wal
ker’s expedition prove a failure, but that
Walker himself will cither be shot or driven
from the country. We are no friend of a ne
gro government, such as that of Nicaragua
has to a great extent been, but still less are
we favorable to a filibuster scheme such as
that got up by Walker and his party, which
can only result in and and blood
shed.
Our views 011 this, point are confirmed by
every arrival from Greytown. By the last
British steamer we are informed that the Wal
ker Government only exists by tho most des
potic rule, and that his whole followers would
desert were it not for the dread of being shot,
a fate which is sure to attend any one who
even dares to complain. No one is allowed to
leave the ranks, and the new recruits who
join his army are unfortunate persons, who
are picked up by force and actually made
prisoners of, and kept so until their services
are required as soldiers. His rule may sti 1
exist a very few r months, but its fate is inevi
table.
Six hundred foreign paupers witli nothing
to recommend them but their buwie knives anil
revolvers can never be successful in gaining
the good will of people upon whom they force
themselves; and just as soon as the slightest
chance opens for tho purpose, will Walker and
his followers be as mercilessly murdered, as
have been the unfortunate victims of his rcck
less’amliition since he entered the country.
Look out for Them !
The following circular from the Bank of
AVilmington, North Carolina, has been sent to
the various banking institutions of the South
ern States:
Bank 01 Wilmington, N. C., 1
March 14, 1856. j
Dear Sir : At the time of the disaster on the
Seaboard Railroad, the 10th inst., Adams’Ex
press Company had in charge four thousand
blank impressions, eich, of the tens and fives
of this Bank, which on the destruction of their
freight car by fire, were scattered in all direc
tions. Many of the notes werenot at all burn
ed—how many it is impossible to tell. Wc
have succeeded in recovering very few. Many
of them will no doubt be fraudulently filled up
aud put in circulation.
Alter issuing five thousand impressions of
each of these plates, ($300,000) we changed
the style of tho red letters. The red letters of
the first issue are straight at top and bottom ;
those of the last issue (lost notes) are of curv
ed outlines entirely—their position on the ten
is changed—in the first issue the T. and N.
j are above the signatures—in the last, these
letters are placed lower, ami cross the signa
ture lines.
On the five the difl’ereucc isonly in the form
of the red letters —oll the first issue it is
straight at top and bottom ; on the last it is of
curved outlines eutirelv.
Os this last we have issued of the tens 300
impressions, No. 6,001 to 6,300,—and of the
fives 200 impressions, No. 6,001 to 5,200,—in
all SIO,OOO.
We ask your co-operation in withdrawing
| these as soon as possible, front circulation. We
hope the distinctive mark of the red letters
and a vigilant police may, in a measure, save
I the community from imposition.
We shall change the face of our next issue
j entirely. Respectfully yours,
S. JEWETT, Cashier.

The case of Martin Speer, which is now at
tracting universal attention, (from the fact
that our Minister, Col. Henry R. Jackson, it
appears, is about to suspend diplomatic rela
tions with Count ltuol, and leave the Austrian
capitol on this man’s account) is one of the
most important as regards the rights ot an
American abroad, that has ever occurred in
the history of our foreign relations. A great
er case of out rage and oppression cannot be
conceived.
Mr. Martin Speer, a citizen of Brooklyn,
New York, by trade a glass painter, while in
the Austrian dominions upon business alto
gether of a private at and innocent nature, was
arrested by the police, kept in solitary con
finement for seven months, not allowed to
make his situation known to the United States
Legation at Vienna : and then after repeated
secret examinations before aPdlice Magistrate,
upon the clearest evidence of his innocence,
was convicted of high treason, aud sentenced
to ten years hard labor in irons, Upon the
trenches at Thoricmstadt, Bohemia.
Upon the case being brought to the notice
of the American Minister, Col. Jackson, lie
promptly interfered to effect the release of
Speer, and after a correspondence with the
Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, lie be
ing convinced that Martin Speer was not only
innocent of any crime, but bad been most out
rageously treated by the Austrian authorities,
Mr. Jackson (without waiting instructions
from his Government,) made a formal demand
for the release of Speer.
Mr. Speer has a wife and five children in
Now York, who are naturally much distressed
at his situation.
Considerable curiosity is manifested in this
city to peruse the correspondence, as it is inti
mated by those who profess to be informed,
that Col. Jackson’s response to Count Buol in
making his demand for the release of Speer in
point of ability, will compare with either Mar
cy’s Koszta letter, or Webster’s reply to M.
Hulsemau. Truth.
P. T. Barnum and his Failure.
On Thursday, Mr. P. T. Barnum was put
under examination before Judge Hoffman, in
New York, relative to his property, at the suit
of Cushing & Cos., who have obtained judgment
against him. The Mirror says:
He stated that the sale of the Museum was
a bona fide one ; lie bought it for $12,000 and
sold it for $24,000 to Messrs. Greenwood &
Butler. lie expressed his willingness to do
anything the Court ordered, if in his power, to
discharge his liabilities. He stated that in
June last he was worth $500,000 above all his
liabilities ; he had spent $50,000 per annum
in Bridgeport where his real estate was prin
cipally situated, lie agreed to accept and en
dorse the paper of the Jeromes to a little over
SIOO,OOO. lie continued to do so, as he sup
posed, for renewals ; but, to his amazement,
he found his name on their paper to thcamount
of $ 150,000.
Mr. Barnum further stated that he did not
consider himself a bankrupt, as lie hoped to
pay all his personal debts ; but if inability to
pay the clock debts be considered a failure,
then he had failed in January last, lie did
not consider himself liable for those debts, he
said, because some of the holders of those
drafts were the very persons who induced him,
by fraudulent representations, to endorse the
paper; others had bought the paper at 25 to
2# per cent, discount, knowing that he had
given his name without receiving a farthing’s
value. The amount of mortgages and judg
ments on his New York property was $141,-
500; the furniture, plate &c., at Iranistan,
were sold for $2,000.
The assets in his possession at present were
$31,500 Crystal l’alace first mortgage bonds ;
078 lots in Cypress Hill Cemetery ; a bond
against H. 1). Beach, for $12,000, for money
placed in his possession in California; also a
claim against Duncan, Sherman & Cos., for some
$17,000, growing out of Owen 1). Mann’s in
junction against the Crystal l’alacc.
Mr. B. was questioned also on Friday as to
his present means of living, and stated that he
took boarders, and had the vegetable product
of the Bridgeport farm of last summer, lie
had friends who would keep him from starving,
and had tendered him money. In reply to the
question, he acknowledged that he had a gold
watch, which lie would produce if required to
do mi —also, a diamond ring. Being asked if
he had a piano-forte, he said yes, but it was
mortgaged for all it is was worth, as well as
other furniture.
Destructive Fire at Murfreesboro.
Fourteen Houses in Ruins.
The Murfreesboro, (Tcnn.) Telegraph pub
lishes an extra on the 15th instant, to an
nounce that a calamitous fire had visited that
town about 3 o'clock that morning, and de
stroyed property to the amount of $30,000. —
The flames burst forth in the tinner’s shop of
Mr. Barnes, on the north- east corner of the
square, and speedily communicated to the
grocery store of Messrs. Crockett it Ransom,
who lost a large amount of wheat, corn, bacon,
sugar and various other articles, supposed al
together to amount to seven or eight thousand
dollars, three thousand five hundred of which
was covered by insurance. The Masonic Hall,
which was in the third story of this building,
was destroyed with all the furniture, jewels,
&c., of Mount Moriah Lodge, No 28, of Mur
freesboro Lodge, No. 205, and l’ithngoras
Chapter, No. 28.
The exact loss of the Fraternity cannot be
estimated, supposed to be from six to eight
hundred dollars. The grocery store of Messrs.
J. A. Collier & Cos., was also completely de
stroyed. The house occupied by Vi. T. Lane
was considerably injured. The lire also com
municated to the buildings owned by Messrs.
J. A. Collier & Cos., and completely destroyed
them as also the adjoining buildings of Mr.
Thos. B. Clark, in which were two Groceries
and one Storage house, one belonging to Mr.
A. G. Crosby and the other to Mr. Clark him
self. The loss of Messrs. Collier .k Cos. is esti
mated at $1,500, and that of Mr. Clark at
near $5,000.

Terrible Calamity.
I’iilLAPELfniA, March Hi.
A terrible disaster occurred on the Dela
ware river last night, opposite this city.—
About half-past nine o’clock, ns the ferry-boat
New Jersey was crossing the river front this
side to Camden, she took fire when in tho
middle of the stream, and, after grcatdiflieulty,
owing to the floatiug ice, was run upon the
bar opposite Arch street.
There was about one hundred passengers
, onboard—among whom the wildest conster
nation prevailed. Many jumped at once into
tho river—some clinging to the floating ice
until rescued by small boats from the city—
whilst others, not a few, it is feared,” were
drowned. Tim boat was burned to the water"s
; edge in a short time. How many lives were
, lost it i. impossible yet to ascertain. Steam
i ers were sent out immediately to rescue the
passengers, but when they reached the spot
1 all that were able to keep afloat in the water
■ hud been saved by the small boats.
Among the missing arc Sallic Carman, of
Camden : a little daughter of Samuel Grierson,
of Philadelphia ; Edward Messclnimp, former
ly conductor of the Amboy Railroad; John
Fidel!, of Camden, and a large number of
colored persons. The boat belonged to the
Philadelphia and Camden Ferry Company.—
The loss of life resulted from the boat not be
ing provided with either small boats or life
preservers.
Matthew’ Miller, Jr., broker ; Mr. Howard,
clerk, and Mrs. Shade and child, are also re
ported as missing.
Captain James Robinson saved eight men
and two ladies in a boat which he launched
with the assistance of another person. It is
feared that the loss of life will reach fifty.—
Many persons leaped into the water with their
clothes on tire. Miss Carman was last seen
with her clothing in a blaze.
March 10, PP. M.—Only one additional
body was found in the afternoon, making but
three recovered altogether. They have been
recognised as Abraham Junnie and Jolm Little,
of Camden, and Francis Fitzpatrick, of Phila
delphia. The two former were workmen re
turning home to their families, and the latter
was on a visit to his brother at Camden.
The origin of the tire is not known. It
hurst up suddenly from the five room, and
spreading to the wood work, the pilot house
was quickly consumed and fell in as the boat
was nearing the wharf, rendering her unman
ageable from 1 lie disarrangement of the tiller
chains. The head sheered off” from the wharf,
and the engine could not be stopped because
the engineer had been driven from his post by
tho flames. The boat thus carried the few
remaining passengers 011 board away from the
land.
The number of dead and missing is about 30.
The persons dead and missing mostly be
long to Camden. Very few belong to this
city, and there arc no strangers missing.

Au Important Declaration.
Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, on Monday, the
17th inst., as we notice in the Washington
Star, addressed the Senate at some length on
the Central American question, holding that
Walker is a brigand and outlaw, and that his
acts and those of his followers were unlawful,
and that they must be put down,
lie was exceedingly severe on the Accessory
Transit Company of Nicaragua, holding they
had forfeited all claim to tho sympathy of this
Government, by the aid and countenance they
had given to Walker. He reviewed the new
grant of the transit right to Mr. Randolph,
given by Walker, and explained that it was
one that by treaty this Government and Eng
land must put down.
lie also warned the young men of the coun
try against identifying themselves with the
fortunes of Walker, showing the illegality and
gross impropriety of so doing on their part.
Who Annexed Texas-
Ex-Prcsideut Tyler has written tho follow
ing to Geu. Green, a delegate from Texas in
the late Southern Commercial Convention held
in Richmond, Va.:
Sherwood Foxiest, Feb. 28, 1856.
Dear General —1 take occasion now to thank
you for your kind reference to me in your re
marks at the Richmond dinner. It would be
indeed strange if my enemies could deprive
me of the credit of having annexed Texas to
the Union. I presented the question, urged it
first in the form of a treaty to the Senate, met
the rejection of that treaty by a prompt and
immediate appeal to the House of Represen
tatives, fought the battle before the people,
and conquered its two formidable adversaries,
with tlieir trained hands, and two days before
my term expired, adopted and enforced the
alternate resolution under which Texas took
her place amid the fratcrniti of States. My
successor did nothing but confirm what 1 had
done. Nor is that all. Texas drew after it
California, so that 1 may well claim that, in
regard to that whole subject, Air. Polk was
but administrator de bonis non. True, 1 would
not have negotiated a treaty of peace without
settling the slave question in that treaty, the
omission to do which was a great blunder. Os
this 1 will talk to you when 1 see you. Ac
cept the assurance of my constant esteem.

A Story Finished.
Some years ago a Cincinnati paper received
and printed the first chapter of what promised
to be a thrilling romance, with the expectation !
of being provided with the concluding poi-tions ;
as might be needed. The chapter was very
ingeniously written, and concluded by leaving
the principal character suspended by the pan
taloons from tlio limb of a tree over a peruen- !
dicular precipice. It attracted the attention I
oftlie press, and inquiries were about to be i
made concerning the continuation of the story
and the fate of the hero. Day after day the
victimized publisher looked for the remaining
chapters, but in vain, they ncvcrcame to hand.
Finding that they had been sold, and wishing
to put a stop to the jokes tlieir cotemporaries
were cracking at tlieir expense, they briefly
concluded the story thus :
Chapter ll.—Conclusion. After hanging to j
the treacherous tree for four weeks, his pant a- I
loons gave way aud Charles Melville rolled
headlong over the yawning precipice. lie fell
a distance of five miles, and came down with
the small of his back across a stake, which so
jarred him that he was compelled to travel in j
Italy for his health, where he is at present re- 1
siding, lie is engaged in die butchering bu
siness, and is the father of a large family of
children!
