Cold Weather.
Stormy March seemed to pour out all his
wrath on Saturday, as a commencement of an
inclement last quarter. A strong and shifting
wind, but generally from the north-west,
Brought us a return of wintry temperature, and
was followed by quite a cold night. I ester
day morning there was a heavy wliito trust,
and we observed ice of some thickness in ves
els out of door*. Wo fear that aconsiderable
portion of the plums and early peaches have
been killed by this cold simp, as many treos
were In full bloom. The gardens, too, must
have suffered, where left unprotected.
We learn from New Orleans papers, that
the steamer Alabama, a lied river boat, burst
her boilers on the 15th inst., near the mouth
of Bayou Pierre, and afterwards took fire and
was consumed with her cargo of up-freight.—
No definite or particular report of the injury
to her passengers ami crew had been received;
but it was said that several persons were miss
ing, and nearly all on board were more or less
injured.
Trade With Russia.
The trade between the United States and
Kussia, as exhibited by commercial statistics,
appears to he quite inconsiderable; but only
direct commercial exchanges arc shown by such
statistics, and the indirect traffio between Kus
sia and our States is in reality of a much lar
ger amount, (iront Britain and Prussia have
heretofore been to a great extern the relay sta
tions for our trade with Russia, or the manu
facturers of our raw products for the Russian
market, liven in the cotton trade (Ireat Bri
tain has supplied Kussia heretofore with much
more of our raw cotton than has been directly
exported from our own to Russian ports. The
war bids fair to effect a revolution in this trade.
Several urgent appeals from business men in
Russia have been made to the United States
for the opening of more direct and intimate
commercial relations, and the conclusion of a
peace will undoubtedly be followed by a great
augmentation of our direct trade with Russia,
and a consequent loss to several European
States of the profits they have heretofore de
rived from the transaction of the business for
us. We observe that a vessel is now loading
for St. Petersburg, with Southern products, at
t'harleston, and it is proposed to establish in
Russia houses for the transaction of an extensive
direct trade with this country. Truly, “peace
hath her victories, as well as war.”
The Tennessee Valley.
The Railroad in progress from Gadsden to
Huntersville, Ala., is, as we learn from the
Huntsville Advocate, in a more forward state
than we were before aware of. The aid re
ceived from the State, by an appropriation of
a portion of the 2 per cent, fund, will enable
the company to grade the whole road. Fight
miles of the grading nrc already completed,
and eight more under contract. The Advo
cate thinks that the connection with the Sel
ma and Tennessee Railroad will be effected in
iwo years ; and when this is accomplished, the
loug talked-of and desired connection of the
Mobile Bay and the Tennessee River will have
been effected, and the cotton and other valua
ble produce of the Tennessee Valley will
doubtless be sent to Mobile and Charleston,
instead of taking the circuitous route by the
river to New Orleans.
There is also—as we have before noticed—
an effort on foot to build a Railroad from West
Point to connect with these roads, at Oxford
we believe. Should this last enterprise suc
ceed (and the spirit manifested induces us to
hope that it will), our own facilities of commu
nication with the valley of the Tennessee will
be greatly improved.

The evidence of the complicity of high Bri
tish officials in the recruiting schemes in the
United States is still accumulating. Wo learn
from Washington, that recently two affidavits
have been received by our Government from
commissioned officers attached to the British
legation, stating that vice consul Stanley (of
New York) agreed to pay them, and such oth
ers as were under indictment or held to bail
tor recruiting, the same compensation us
though they wore in service. And they recei
ved $72 monthly until recently, when Mr.
Stanley told them he was going to Washington
to close affairs, and asked them for correspon
dence and other documents in their possession.
These were delivered in mistaken confidence
and their men discharged. Hence the pub
licity.

The Philadelphia Ledger maintains that Gen.
Walker’s proceedings in reference to the Nica
ragua Transit Company furnish no excuse
tor the interference of our Government. It
says that only property within the limits of
the State has been seised us security for the
indebtedness of the company : and that the de
cree annulling the contract with the Transit
Company provides for tho appointment of com
missioners who are to contract with other
parties and thus keep open tho route for trav
el and transportation. The commissioners
have already made anew contract, to last for
twenty-five years, with another company.—
Our Government is only authorised, by treaty,
to interfere for the purpose of keeping open
the communication between the two oceans,
and this has not been abrogated or obstructed.
The Portsmouth (Va.) Transcript publishes

The Main Trunk Railroad.
Tho papers of Southern Georgia are devoting
considerable attention to the location of the
route; of this road, and we are glad to see that
the people are becoming much interested in it.
The commissioners soon to meet at Milledge
villc will make the first “step forward” in the
undertaking, and we trust that there will then
be no abatement of interest or energy until the
great enterprise is consummated. As we have
already stated, both the initial and terminat
ing points have to be. definitely decided here
after, the act of tho Legislature only prescrib
ing parallels within which they should be lo
cated, and tearing a margin for the discretion
of the commissioners ami company. About
the Fasten) terminus, or starting point, there
is not much difficulty or conflict, as a margin
of only a few miles is allowed, and the face of
tho country, to he determined by surveys, will
he the most weighty consideration in locating
the point of beginning. But the route west
wardly towards theOhattalioochcc is amort, im
portant ami interesting one. The limits fixed
for the terminus on the Chattahoochee are
Fort Gaines and the junction of the < ’hattahoo
ohee and Flint rivers. The citizens of Albany,
Fort Gaines and other towns along the North
ern route proposed arc in favor of Fort Gaines
or some neighboring point for the Western ter
mination; while Thoinusville, Bainbridge, and
towns along their parallel of latitude contend
for some point near the junction. We c >py
from the last Bainbridge Argus the subjoined
extract from a communication advocating the
claims of Bainbridge, on the Flint river, as the
temporary terminus of the road, and we will
hereafter notice the arguments in favor of oth
er locations. This writer certainly brings for
ward substantial and plausible arguments in
favor of Bainbridge :
“ The Chattahoochee river at any point be
low Fort Gaines to the junction, is too uncer
tain to be relied on. The writer speaks from
the most reliable observation and information.
There are long periods when navigation is im
practicable above the junction on the Chatta
hoochee River. Tho business between Flint
and Chattahoochee Rivers would not authorize
the construction of the Road for its sake, and,
more especially, when that business would ne
cessarily How to the Road any way. The con
clusion, therefore, is reasonable and right that
atemporary terminus should he made on the
Flint, if not liable to similar difficulties. What
point then on the Flint should he selected as
that terminus ‘! No such point can bo selected
near the junction for the reason that the banks
are flat and encompassed with large swamps,
increasing very greatly the cost of a bridge,
should it be determined to extend the Road to
Pensacola or Mobile, and, besides, no eligible
sito could be selected as a place of business.
Does it not occur to every one that the proper
point would be the head of navigation on the
Flint ? That point is Bainbridge. Bainbridge
is situated on the cast bank, at the head of
navigation, on the Flint, on a high, level and
beautiful site, by land 80 miles from the junc
tion, and about 55 miles, by water. The navi
gation to this point is continuous, permanent
and safe, and uninterrupted in the dryest sea
sons. The navigation above Bainbridge be
comes dangerous and uncertain. There has
been no period in 80 years that a Steam Boat
capable of carrying one thousand bales of cot
ton, could not reach Bainbridge with safety.
Bainbridge is within 12 hours run of Apalach
icola, and 88 hours run to New Orleans by
Steam Boat. Freight can be, in fact, is now,
laid down in Bainbridge for one dollar and fif
ty cents to two dollars per barrel. Could this
be done with any other possible terminus? We
answer, not short of Pensacola or Mobile. 15y
the connection suggested a most thriving, pros
perous and profitable business in Western pro
duce would grow up. Savannah and the large
extent of territory between the terminus and
Savannah and Brunswick could and would
be supplied with Western produce. And, be
sides, a large portion of Western travel might
be reasonably expected by this route. It
would certainly save time and money, and when
this fact comes to be understood and realized,
Western travel would become a large and pro
fitable item in the business of the Road. Be
ing both shorter and cheaper, it is a living ar
gument for the terminus suggested.”
It is said that a portion of the unsigned bills
of the Rank of Wilmington, N. 0., recently lost

Gold on the Red Fork.
By late advices and arrivals of the dust, per
Keccliis, into the Creek Nation, positive infor
mation is received, that gold has actually been
found in the hills beyond the sources of Red
river. Large parties of Creeks are going out
to the new found placer in the Spring, and
they expect to find and bring in the pure Gold
by the mule load. The Red Forkers can now
try again and get remunerated for their late
disappointment.
A party of Creeks started for the “diggings”
last Fall and were to have returned by Christ
mas, but by last accounts had not been heard
from. It is feared by some that they have
been murdered by the rascally Keccliis, in re
venge for the killing, as reported, of three of
their tribe by the Creeks.
We hope the Creeks will give these Keeches
a good thrashing.
Report also speaks of a very rich copper
mine being discovered in the Cherokee Nation.
—Fayetteeille Independent.
Government of the Seminoles.
The Florida News gives the following infor
mation regarding the government of the Sem
inole Indians:
Like that of most of the Indian tribes, the
government of the Seminoles is a limited mon
archy, being invested in a principal Chief, or
King, who is controlled by a council of the
Chiefs and principal men of the nation. The
nominal ruter now is llu-lat-to Miko, or the
Blue King, familiarly known as Billy Bowlegs,
but his authority is very much restricted, the
actual head of the nation being Arpuika, or
Sam Joucs, who, though 103 years old, and
blind, still exercises a mighty voice in the
Council, and one that, report says, is invaria
bly opposed to Bowlegs. Billy, it is said, is
now, and lias been for a loug time past, in
favor of emigration, but Sam Jones is deter
mined to die in Florida, and vows eternal hos
tility to the whites ; and it is supposed, upon
authority, that the late attack upon the United
States troops was at his instigation.
Someone writing to the New York Tribune,
from which the foregoing facts were obtained,
added the following:
“Billy Bowlegs, like many of his more civil
ized brethren, is entirely under the control of
petticoat government. He has a sister noted
for her sagacity, eloquence, and unyielding
hostility to all attempts at emigration, and who
is in many respects a most remarkable woman.
The fast friend and ally of Sam Jones, she
rules the weak and vascillating King of the
tribe with an iron hand. Wc are assured that
had it not been for her, the Indians would long
since have consented to leave the country. (if
course, she has no voice at the council fire ;
but she lias other means of influencing her fol
lowers, and, like some other women, she leaves
no means untried to accomplish her favorite
ends.”
A Lady in Command of a U. S. Fort.
Lieut. Montgomery, of the United States
army, not long since lost his life in Oregon.—
His death left his widow, formerly Miss Nor
throp, of Akron, and one child, in comparative
penury, as is generally the case with those
who devote their lives to their country's ser
vice. She returned, and Gen. Jessup, with the
kindness of heart and chivalry which charac
terizes a brave soldier, immediately gave to her
the trust of Fort Gratiot, now unoccupied by
a garrison, a duty which she can fulfil, and
the pay of which is very fair.
Caution.
The papers in various parts of the country
have recently contained iu their advertising
columns, a notice to nervous sufferers, who ave
iulbrmcd that by sending a post office stamp
to a certain address, they will receive a posi
tive and safe cure for nervous diseases. We
have seen occasional warnings against the too
free use of this specific, as much injury is said
to have resulted therefrom. In tho Columbia,
South Carolina Times, of Tuesday, we find the
following communication from a physician and
druggist well kuown in our sister State:
Messrs. Editor : Os late, I have been fre
quently called on to prepare a recipe, purport
ing to emanate from a retired clergyman of
Brooklyn.
The lormula for pills is furnished to any one
who will send a post office stamp; at the same
time you are informed that but one druggist
iu the United States keeps the article from
winch the prescription is prepared, and by
scmling on one dollar you can obtain the med
icine. The medicine is the bean St. Ignatius
(Ignotioe Antonie,) a potent poison, very simi
lar in its effects to strychnine.
That so potent a medicine should be prescri
bed iu this loose way, the patient being in fact
the prescribcr, (inasmuch as he decides that it
is iudieated in his case,) is a little extraordin
ary and may lead to mischief, and 1 would cau
tion my fellow citizens against its indiscrimi
nate use.
The potent remedies should never be resort
ed to unless prescribed by your family physi
cian, aud as a druggist and pharmaceutist 1
deem it my duty to expose this remedy, as I
have been frequently called on to prepare it.

Congressional—Bill to prevent Frauds in
the Revenue.
Washington*, March 20.
In the Senate to-day, Mr. James, of Rhode
Island, reported a bill, drawn up by the Secr
etary of the Treasury, to prevent frauds in the
Revenue and for other purposes. It is propos
ed that it shall go into effect on June 30th,
1857. The taxes and duties which it provides
are as follows : All imported spirituous liquors
shall pay a duty of 80 per cent, ad valorem,
all articles now paying a duty of 80 per cent,
and over, except spirituous liquors, with one
or two other articles now paying 25 per cent.,
comprising most articles of foreign manufac
ture, shall pay a duty of 30 per cent, ad valo
rem. On the free list are raw materials for
manufactures, mechanics, Xc.. which are pro
duced in this country, cither not at all, or to
no great extent. Articles not enumerated in
either of the other schedules are to be trxed 20
per cent.
The main feature of the bill Seems to be the
abolition of the duty on Wool. It is said that
this bill will reduce the yearly revenue about
$10,000,000. It provides fully against fraud
ulent evasions by importers.

owner and recovered against for the whole
value of the slave. They also decided that a
negro hired in that State could not, without
the assent of the owner, be removed from the
State or even from the county where he was
hired, and if he was so, it would he a conver

Mad Horse.
A few days since, Mr. Hannan, of this city,
observed his horse, a very fine animal, acting
strangely. He would lay hold of everything
that came within his reach with his teeth, and
shake it savagely, much as a rat terrier wor
ries his victim. While the gentleman was
watching him, the animal reached into a pig
pen that stood adjacent to the lot where lie
was confined, and laying hold of a. good sized
six months’ old pig, threw it up in the air.—
This feat he repeated, and then setting his
teeth in the body ol the pig, crushed it into
the earth, gnawing and mangling it frightfully.
The horse then took a second pig, and treated
it in a similar manner, and then a large two
months’ old calf, which he tossed into the air
as lightly as a cat would a mouse. The owner,
in the meantime, had sent for Mr. Charles
Streuver the popular farrier, but when Mr.
Streuver arrived, the horse was somewhat
quieted, and Mr. Hannan ventured inside the
the enclosure, and called the horse to him.
The animal came up quietly, but as soon as he
was near enough, caught Mr. Hannan by the
shoulder, and threw him violently to the
ground, face downward, and then setting his
teeth in his back, crushed, gnawed aud shook
him, while his eyes were glassy with rage.
The imminent peril of Air. Ilannan aroused
Mr. Streuver to instant exertion ; lie sprung
on the fence, pulled off a rail, and succeeded
in knocking the animal down, but not until
Mr. Hannan was horribly bruised. The ani
nnl was then shot. Mr. Hannan will not ho
affected with the virus, inasmuch as the teeth
of the horse did not penetrate the clothing,
aud consequently did not lacerate, but bruised
the flesh, lie is not supposed to be fatally
injured.— Peru (111.) Chronicle.
