COLUMBUS: Monday Morning, March 14, I*o. I/AKUKST CITY CIRCULATION. Annmeraents To-Night. The celebrated French Ballet Troupe, will give one of their inimitable entertainments in Music and Dancing to-night at Crisp’s Athe ne urn. The press speak in high praise of this troupe. The steamer Ben Franklin, Capt. Berry, ar rived at our wharf yesterday evening frotn Aj ulachicola. She brought up a good freight and several passengers. - - 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 names of one thousand and seventy-seven residents of that city, who fell victims to the fearful epidemic that desolated Norfolk ami Portsmouth lust fall. 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 iu the confusion attending the accident on the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, have already been tilled up and put in circulation. Look out for them. - -♦ It appears by resent advices from Great Salt Lake that Governor Young recommends the early call of a convention for the purpose of forming a State constitution and the taking of tho census, preparatory to asking the pres ent Congress to admit Utah as a State into the Union. Denmark Sound Dues. The treaty with Denmark on the Sound Dues expires about the middle of April under the notice given, but the President has exten ded the time for going into practical eft'ect sixty days longer at the urgent request of that Government. The Congress, which met at Copenhagen on this subject, adjourned, but did not disperse, and have again resumed ne gotiations. lii the hope of reaching some ac ceptable conclusion, Denmark desired the post ponement. thus granted - Goorgia Conference.

New York, March 20.—The United States propeller Arctic, Lieutenant Hartsteine com manding, is eomiug up the bay. From South Florida Ry this morning’s mail we have the Tampa Peninsular of March 15th. It contains no ref erence whatever to tho reported attack on the Alafia settlers—an account of which wc copied last Wednesday from an extra of tho Ocala Companion of the 12tb. That account reported the murder of eight persons by the Savages. As nearly a week must have elapsed between the date of the re ported attack and the last issue of the Penin sular, there is reason to hope that the Compan ion’s report was erroneous.— Bamninth Journal ‘224.

Davy Crockett. ♦ 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. J. 11. Boatwright, xi. n. A Fuller Report of the Persia’s News. Nbw York, March 20. The British and North American mail steam ship Persia has arrived at this port with dates from Liverpool to the Kih inst. The Peace Conferences are thought to be progressing favorably. The French Emperor has made a speech, in which he said that he hoped for peace, but he must be prepared for war. The fifth meeting of the Conference was holden on the oth inst. Negotiations, it is said, are progressing steadily. In the Crimea, delegates from the bellige rent armies met on the 2‘Jtli ult., to concert measures for carrying out the armistice in the Baltic. The Russians have been sending a considerable number of troops to Finland, con centrating a large force around St. Petersburg, and strengthening the barriers nearCronstadt. The latest despatches from London, on the Bth state that the Paris Moniteur of the 7th contains an imperial decree, calling into active service 110,000 young soldiers. On Sunday the 2d, two couriers passed through Berlin on their way to Paris, bearing fresh instructions to the Russian Plenipoten tiaries. A despatch from Hamburg, dated the oth inst., states that Admiral Watson had sailed from Kiel and had ordered the fleet to assem ble oft’ Moor Island, to announce the renewal of the blockade of Russian ports. Commercial Intelligence. Livkiu’imu, Cotton Market. —Cotton was firm. The sales for the week amounted to 1)1,000 bales, of which exporters took 5,500 and speculators 8,500 bales. Fair Orleans was quoted at o;{d.; Middling 5 15-lfid a 6d.; Fair Uplands 6jd.; Middling s;d. The stock of cotton in port was 871,000 bales, including 257,000 bales of American. The Broker’s Circular says that the better grades of cotton arc stiffer, the* lower grades easier, the mar ket closing steady. + 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. Senator Douglas replied to liis colleague, Mr. Trumbull’s speech of last week. In the House, the Navy Appropriation Bill w*as reported. Hiring of Slaves—lmportant Legal Decision The Supreme Court of Tennessee decided at last term that the hirer of a slave was not au thorized to rehire him without the assent of the owner, and if he did so, and the negro died or was injured, the hirer might be sued by the 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 sion. A sleepy old Deacon, who sometimes engages in popular games, hearing the minister use the words “shuffle off this mortal coil,” start ed up, rubbed his eyes, and exclaimed : “ Hold on !—it’s my deal!” A young chemist of Cuba named Peyronnet, has discovered a process of making wine with the juices of the orange? and pineapple, as de lightful in flavor and equal in quality to cham pagne. He has already made contracts for a large exportation of this article to Europe. 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. ♦- A thorough examination as to the cause ol’ the recent accident on the Seaboard and Roa noke Railroad lias bee made by the President and other officers, anu they have arrived at the conclusion that it was caused by the breaking of the axle of the tender. No defect was dis coverable in the tres le-work, or the material of which tho structure was built. Rumors have been circulated that the melancholy loss of life was due to the uusoundness of the bridge ; but these are not only not substantia] ted by the examination, but utterly disproved.
