COLUMBUS: Tuesday Morning, March ‘ i!i > 1 H.•!>. LARGEST CITY CIBCUtATIOK. Columbus Gas Company. A meeting of the Stockholders in this com pany is appointed for 1d o’clock to-day. See advertisement. At a “large and enthusiastic” meeting of the citizens of Union county, held at Ulairs vill<> on the 17th inst., Gov. Johnson's veto of the lliwussec Railroad hill was denounced in the most decided terms, and his reasons forthe veto were characterized as unstatesinanlike, anti-democratic, and contrary to the spirit of the constitution. -♦ Another Alabama tax-collector, Mr. Antho ny of Butler county, wus robbed of the money he had collected for the State (sf>ooin amount) on the loth inst. The rogues appear to know and keep their eyes on the movements of the moneyed men, and perhaps they arc generous enough to consider that the State can better lbsc the amount than an individual. They set tire to Mr. Anthony’s comcrih, and while he was out extinguishing the lire they entered the house and stole thfi money. He was prepared to start the next day lor Mont gomery to pay the amount into the treasury. •*. Brown and Harris, who were some time since arrested in Charleston for vending Lottery tickets, under the assumed names ot Lckford and Silshee, were tried last week and found guilty. As, however, there is no statutory provision in South Carolina tor the punish ment of the specific fraud which they were en gaged in, they can only be lined and imprison ed for a “misdemeanor.” Lecomto Beaten. The celebrated racer Lecomte was beaten over the Natchez Course, on the 15th inst., by Mr. B. Ten Broeek's colt l'ryor, by imp. Glen coe. The odds before the race were 100 to 15 or 20 on Lecomte. The race was Avon by Pry or in two heats —time 7:47, 7:42;;. ltwus his first four mile race, and has greatly raised him in the estimation of sportsmen. Last week the schooner Falmouth was seiz ed by the United States District Attorney, as • lie was leaving the port of New Y ork, on a charge of being engaged in the slave trade.— Evidence in support of the charge was found on searching the vessel, and she was brought back to the Navy Yard and her crew imprison ed. All the persons on board were Portugese, and it was strongly suspected that the Portu gese Consul in New York was implicated in the matter. The steamship Quaker City arrived at New York from Liverpool on the 21st inst. As she sailed three days before the Persia, her news was ant icipated by the latter vessel. The Pacific. The steamship Persia brought no tidings of the Pacific, and her intelligence from Great Britain represented the public mind to he in great and painful suspense as to the fate of the missing steamer. The Arctic (which the dis patch from New York, published by us yester day, announced ns coming up the bay) reports that she ascertained nothing about the Pacific, and did not find any portions of wreck. The only point yet to hear from, which it. is thought i lie missing steamer might have reached, is the Azores or Western Islands. Should the nest arrivals from those Islands bring no news of her, hope will be abandoned, and the Paci fic will he regarded as certainly lost. —♦— Great Britain and Persia. We learn from the budget of news brought by the steamship Persia, that the difficulties between Great Britain and Persia were still unsettled and appeared to be approaching a hostile issue. The precise aspect of the quar rel at present is not generally known; but it was known that the British ministry had re quested the Bombay government to send some vessels of war to the Persian Gulf “ for the purpose of protecting British interests,” and it was rumored that Persia was actively en gaged in fitting out vessels for the supposed purpose of attacking the English fleet operat ing against the coasts of the country. The resolution adopted by the House of Representatives on the 19 th inst., authorizing the Speaker to appoint a committee of three to proceed to Kansas Territory and obtain evi dence in relation to the disturbances there, was adopted by the votes of the Freesoilers, and that party boast of having achieved a tri umph by the passage of the resolution. The proposition to send a committee to Kansas was reported by Mr. Stephens, and supported by Southern members generally, in lieu of the Froesoil project to bring a few witnesses to Washington; but finding that their scheme would he defeated, the Freesoilers substituted an amendment to Mr. Stephens’ proposition, ; o as to give the appointment of the commit tee to Speaker Banks, and in this form pass ed it. Os course, the majority of the commit tee will be Freesoilers. .. The ‘Pharisee’ and tlie ‘Money Changers.’ P. T. Barnnm—whose character for honesty has been portrayed by himself in his “Autobi ography”—was under examination” in New York the other day, when some question im plying a doubt whether he had honestly given in all his property was propounded : to which the bankrupt humbugger indignantly replied: “1 wish you to understand that the standard of morality for showmen is a peg or two higher than that found in the atmosphere of Wall street.” Very complimentary to the “bulls” and the “bears.” The Sixth District Court of New Orleans has decided the squabble about the Sheriffalty in favor of John M. Bell, the Executive and Leg islative appointee, and granted a mandamus requiring Mr. llufty to give up the office to Mr. Bell forthwith. Detroit, March 19. Seven of the eight Judges of the Supreme Court of Michigau have affirmed the constitu tionality of the Prohibitory Liquor Law of that State, which is similar to the law of New York. K Contrast of National Spirit. In Paris, the crowned usurper suppresses the publication by the press of any article of fensive to the government, and sometimes stops the newspaper itself: yet the people sub mit. In Nicaragua, recently, the weekly gov ernment paper failed to make its appearance at the appointed time, and the soldiers of the army became so vexed and impatient about it, that Gen. Walker sent orders to the office that the paper must be issued the next day, or he would send a detachment of soldiers to arrest every one concerned in the establishment. — When the soldiers arrived at the office at the hour set the next day, the printers were lock ing up the forms, and the paper was issued at a rate of speed never attained by a hand press before. All hands had been working like beavers since the receipt of the notification. Both the French custom and this act of Walker were despotic and arbitrary measures, and would not he to.leratcd in a country of popular freedom and well established law.— But the impatience of the American soldiery to receive their weekly budget of news, com pared with the tame submission of the French to the suppression of their newspapers, is what makes the contrast favorable to the character of our people. — A Letter from Kansas. Ddi.aw uu: City, Kansas Tenitory, | Feb. 28, 185 ti. i Dear Sun: —Upon a consideration of the im portance of Kansas Territory to the South, I have resolved, notwithstanding my inability, to give a slight description of the inducements that are visible to 4 the agricultural, mechnical and professional emigrant, that may bend his course hither, especially in the neighborhood where I write this. In the first place, wc may congratulate ourselves upon the apparent tran quility of the country, and also upon the firm ness with which the rights of the Territory have been recognized by the Executive : and although the abolitionists threaten us with an increase of their species in the spring, still it is very apparent that the Freesoilers have found themselves too seriously checkmated ever to make a considcrableetlectivemove. As far as the institution of slavery is concerned, more safety is felt for its existence, and slaves are deemed here as safe as in the everglades of Florida. The tidings have already reached us that many of all classes are on the point of start ing from Georgia to Kansas. Farmers will here find a very rich prairie soil, producing wheat and corn to a large extent to the acre: also hemp, the soil comparing favorably with the best land in the State of Missouri. Land can be obtained very easily in the vicinity of Delaware, and although much in the immedi ate neighborhood has been taken up, still there is room for as many as choose to come. A splendid field here offers itself to the me chanic in almost every trade. Brick-makers get nine dollars per thousand for their brick at the kiln, and land for the purpose of making can he had easily almost at any point. Bricks arc worth sl2 per thousand to lay. Carpen ters and stone-masons arc paid $2,50 per day, and hard to be found at that; much demand exists for blacksmiths, tinsmiths, Ac., through out the Territory, even at the present time, and as the spring advances a greater demand will still exist. Professional men may here at least find plenty of work at any of the professions, if they will but content themselves with the freshness of the country and be willing to forego some of the luxuries to be found in the older settled States. The lawyer and doctor can find here many towns where lie can settle himself ami grow with its growth ; ultimately will find himself attaining an independence where lie will at least have commenced with a certain livelihood. 1 would like to give you a few items concer ning the city of Delaware, hoping that some from your neighborhood will stop here, at least to see what can be done. The town is about one year old, and notwithstanding the extraor dinary severity of the weather, building has gone on to a considerable extent, and prepara tions are being made for extensive operations, as soon as the spring will have opened. One great desideratum Delaware City certainly en joys to a greater extent, probably, than any place in the Territory; that is, a good harbor, very easy of access, and at which all steamers touch both going and coming from and to St. Louis. We will have a steam Ferry very shortly running from here to Missouri, which will fa cilitate the business of Delaware very much. Mills are also on the point of erection here, ! and altogether our town, though new, begius to assume considerable importance among the towns of the Territory. After a long contest with Leavenworth City, the county seat of Leavenworth is permanent ly located at Delaware City, and an appropri i atiou for a court house will shortly be made : I this ol course will add considerably to the in ; terest of the citizens. Delaware is an excel lent place of debarkation for emigrants, as from here facilities may be had to go through all the Territory, and in the immediate neigh borhood are to be found some of the richest ! lands in the Territory, and also a sincere wel come from all the population. 1 will probably write you further at some other time : in the meantime l must thank you for your indulgence. 1 am yours, &c., COMMODORE Homocide. A man by the name of Evans Arnold was killed by ltodrick Evans on Thursday evening last in this county, a few miles north of this city. The parties, who it appears were cousins, were at a log rolling at the residence of the lather of the latter, when a quarrel ensued.— Arnold drew his knife and advanced on Evans, who, picking up a stick, struck the other a blow across the head, which resulted in his death on the same evening.— Atlanta InicUir/en cer. Thinking Hard Words, “llaus !” said a Dutchman to his urchin son, whom he had just been thrashing lor swearing at his mother, “Vat's dut you’re tinkin - so vickid apout, in the corner dare ?” “I ain't tink nott’n.’’ “You lie, you fagahone—you tinks cot dam—and now 1 11 vip you for dat.” The Gray-Bay Mare. “ Well, sir, 1 can just bring a mare that will trot the legs off your horse, any day. She can go inside ” “ Os the track ?” interrupted a bystander. “ You may hot high she’ll try,” was the an swer. The speaker familiarly known as Big Bill here rose from his seat near the stove, in the Horse and Halter bar-room, and advanc ing towards the man he first addressed, and added, “And now, Sifter, if you want to trot your horse, Hagbng, again my gray mare, La dy Shinbone, say the word, and we'll trot V “ Done:” said Sifter. “ i’ll trot my horse against your gray mare, a mile heat, to-mor row afternoon, weather permitting, fifty dollars a side.” This little affair settled, all parties at once renewed their legitimate business —whisky drinking and talking horse. “ 1 never sawflics worse than they are now,” said Big Bill: “ they worry Lady Sliinbone’s life out of her. She’s ‘blood’ all over, and a mighty thin-skinned beast to that ; conse quence is, the (lies peg it into her like sixty. I’d give something to know how to drive them off.” “ Keep your stable dark,” said a man with j a white hat. “ Keep a tly net on her,” added the man who struck Bill Patterson. “ Rub her with pcn’r’yal,” suggested an apothecary. “ Try pizzerinctum intment,” suggested the apothecary’s enemy. “Use a tly brush,” slylyinsinated old Uncle Ned, and as he spoke a bright light shot into his black eyes. There was an idea behind them, and as he jerked the corners of his mouth down and looked serious, a looker on in the Horse and Halter took a little note of it. A few minutes afterwards he motioned to Big Bill, and drawing him away from the rest of the crowd into a coiner, said with a mysterious air : “ I know au infallible roccipe, Bill. There is no use in telling the crowd of it, but as you are a friend 1 will tell you, coN-fidently, re member, eoN-lidently.” “ Certain, honor bright,” confirmed Big Bill. “ Well, then, you go git a lot of walnut leaves and make a strong decoction just as strong as you can make it. Wash your gray mare with it and to-morrow you’ll sec if she don’t look like a different beast.” “ Did you ever try it yerself ?” asked Bill. “ Yes,” answered Ned,” my old bay horse owes half his good looks to the decoction.”— Whereupon Big Bill again joined the social circle, and after a few flirtations with the whisky bottle rose up and departed. The de coction was on his mind, liquor in his head, and the gray marc in the stable. As lie got near home he remembered that a walnut tree stood back of the road, near his house, so haul ing down a fence rail he made a vigorous at tack on the lower limbs of the tree, and soon had leaves enough on the ground to “keep the flies out of the whole State,” as he judiciously remarked to himself, while employed in trying to gather up tlic leaves. “ Never see such leaves,” lie soliloquized, “they stick to the ground as if they were glued there.” He said this after making several futile attempts at gathering up oue especially large one, that kept eluding his gvasp. He made a desperate luuge at it, and over he went. “Take oare old boy,” said lie, “don’t go to cutting up such capers. Steady, now, steady !” and like the memorable Toodlcs, he balanced himself on one thumb, preparatory to assuming the per pendicular—he assumed it. “Guessl’ve got enough ; no use taking more than you want, you know,” said he, as he cast a longing look at the big leaf which liad already caused him one tumble. “ Old fellow, I’ll leave you just where you are, 1 don’t mind you,” and closely grasping to his breast all be liad gathered, he cork-screwed home. When he had got there lie had just two ideas left, one was a big cop per kettle to boil the leaves in, and the other was the gray mare ; whether he had to put the copper kettle into the gray marc, or the mare into the kettle, was more than lie could cypher out. Luckily he stumbled over the pump, and finding a bucket there filled with water, lie instantly plunged liis head in, “ up to the handle,” several times; then taking breath he went in several times more, finally feeling “as if somebody had taken a lot of blankets off his brains.” Cooled off, he boiled up the walnut leaves, made the decoction, and going out to the stable, by the light of the young new moon, which kindly lent itself for the occasion, he “soused the beast,” to use his i own expression, “till she hadn’t a dry hair on her hide.” “Now, my lady,” continued lie, “you won’t be at home to receive no more fly calls, and that tail of yours will know a little rest. To-morrow you’ve got to spread your self agin Ragbag, a mile heat. I’ve bet fifty on you, old woman ; don’t disappoint me.”— And after this exhortation Big Bill cleared out of the stable. Next morning Big Bill went out to the sta ble, threw open the door, looked in, the gray mare was gone ! and there stood a bay mare in her place. Bill opened his eyes till they reached the roots of his hair, which stood up straight. “What are you doing here, my la dy ?” asked he of the bay mare. A peculiar switch of the tail, a shake of the mane, and side look from her large liquid eyes, induced Bill to look closer at her. “By all the trots!” he burst out, “ that cleans down everything I've heard of lately, a gray mare turned into a bay; somebody hold me! the end of the world ! the—.” Bill suddenly checked him self, “the walnut leaves boiled. Theydidit!” Yes, they did it; and Lady Shinbone, the gray mare, was now a sight to behold ; she was of an ugly bay color, with stripes, something of the appearance of a piece of mahogany veueer iug in the rough. “ Now,” continues Bill, “you’re a beauty, you are ! Nothing can take the devil out of that eye of yours, though ; there’s grit there; proof again all walnut leaves, Past, Present, and Future.” In the afternoon Bill was on hand with his “varigated” mare: audhaviugduly driven over to the llorsc and Halter tavern, lie gave the mare in charge of the hostler, first seeing her well blanketed, and then went into the bar room. Here lie found Sifter, the owner of the buy horse, Ragbag, who at ouec accosted Bill. “ Here 1 am, you see, ready for the trot, put up your money. Colonel Stubbs shall hold the stakes. You arc to trot your gray more against my bay horse, that’s the agreement.— Fetch out your animal.” Bill had Lady Shinbone brought to the door; the crowd gathered round. *• Don’t touch a rag till 1 have tho reins!” said he, and jump ing iuto his light trotting wagon, the hostler at the moment pulled oil the covers and the lady came up to the starting point in line style. Just at the same time Sifter came up with his bay. “ Well, Rill! why don't you bring out your gray mare V’ ** What do you call this ?” answered Bill, us he held the lady in with taut rein. “It may be a zebra: ‘taint agray mare, this side of Jordan ! ” replied Sifter. “ 1 tell you, says Bill, “ this is my gray mare!” “ And 1 toll you,” replied Sifter, “ there ain’t a gray hair on her. You’ve gone and got some kind of a wild beast, and want to come the giraffe over me; ’tw’ont work! The race was between my bay horse and yourgrny mare, and the Colonel holds the stakes. So fetch out your gray mare !” “ This is a gray mare, one of the grayest kind of grays, only, you see, Uncle Ned, lie told me —” • “ To thunders with Uncle Ned!” roars Sif ter. “ I don’t want any cock and bull stories, l want your gray mare. If you can’t produce her, I claim the stakes as forfeit.” “ 1 tell you this is a gray mare, only 1 wash ed her with biled walnut.” “ Tickled her, I s’pose,” broke in Sifter. “Washed her,” shouted Bill, “withthe wal nut leaves which dyed every hair in her hide, and that’s a fact by all that trots !” Just at this instant old Uncle Ned made his appearance, casually, on the track, and Bill, who had his eye upon him, at once jumping from his wagon, caught that respected individ ual by the arm. “ You’ve done it, my boy,” roared Bill; “ put your foot in it this time ! Fork over fif ty dollars, or by all that trots you’ll believe its raining millstones on you. Didn’t you tell me to wash that gray mare with walnut leaves ? Didn’t 1 do it ? look at her, jest look at her.— She looks like a brown stone house gone to seed!” “ Well,” says Uasle Ned, “ what if 1 did tell you to wash'her with walnut leaves V Didn't 1 tell you at the same time it would make her look like a different beast, and don’t she?— Didn’t I tell you my way horse owed half liis beauty to this decoction, which is apt to beat Tricopherous at dyeing ? Didn’t 1 tell you all this ?” Here the laughter and cheers of the crowd came in as a grand chorus, and Bill was waxing “ tremendous wratliy,” when Sifter rode up and shouted out: “ All right, Bill! I’m satisfied to trot against Lady Shinbone, although she isn’t a gray mare, and lias been in a dyeing condition ; only, the next time you intend to trot her, don’t ask Un cle Ned for another fly receipc for your mare : it might turn her inside out.” G’lang! The gray-bay mare won that race ! — Spirit nf the Times. Congressional. Washington, March 20.

Washington, March 20. It lias been ascertained that Brazil has posi tively refused to ratify a treaty which had been entered into at the City of Assumption, between her Minister and Paraguay; Brazil not being willing to concede that Paraguay has any title whatsoever to the rights which she tlms pretended to concede to Brazil regard ing the navigation of certain rivers, and which right Brazil maintains she already possessed. Paraguay, it is well known, has long been iu communication with the United States, pro posing to open various rivers intersecting the Amazon, in return for certain advantages which she wishes to obtain for herself from this coun try. Recently Brazil has made a statement in re lation to the transactions between her and Pa raguay, in order that our government may not be misled by any contemplated treaty between the United States and Paraguay, or the bor dering States of South America, which, by any possibility, could confer commercial advan tages on this country without the sanction of Brazil. Vattel on Recruiting. Vattel, the most generally accepted author! ity on international law, says: “Whoever un dertakes to enlist soldiers in a foreign country, without the sovereign permission, and in gen eral whoever entices away the subjects of an other State, violates one of the most sacred rights of the prince and the nation. This crime is distinguished by the name of kidnap ping, or man stealing, and is punishable with the utmost severity in every well regulated State. Foreign recruiters are hanged without mercy and with great justice. It is not pre sumed that their sovereign has ordered them to commit a crime : and supposing even that they had received such an order, they ought not to have obeyed it, their sovereign having no right to command what is contrary to the law of nature. * * * But if it appears that they acted by order, such a proceeding in a foreign sovereign is justly considered as a sufficient cause for declaring war against him, unless he makes suitable reparation.” Albany, March 19. The noon train from New York on the Hud son River railroad was thrown from the track three miles below this city in consequence of the breaking of some part of the engine. Two passenger cars pitched down an embankment lauding bottom upward!
