COLUMBXJS: Wedneaday Morning, March 6, 1850. LAROEMT CITY circulation. The City Council of Savannah has voted au appropriation of $25,000 for the removal of a serious obstruction to the passage of vessels up to that city, known as “the ktioll.” This ob struction is au accumulation of sand, oyster shells, &c., near the mouth of the Savannah river. Congress nt its last session made an appropriation for improving the harbor of Sa vannah, but the expenditure was, by the word ing of the act, restricted to the removal of ob structions long since placed there in a time o! war witli Great Britain to prevent the ap proach of the enemy’s vessels. Au effort will now be made to have this appropriation exten ded also to natural obstructions ol the river. — The Atlanta Intelligencer is “down upon’ Crisp’s A thence um and the acting ol his com pany—Chanfrau’s especially—with a perfect “vim.” It calls the theatre “Crisp’s Circus, with the important part of the Itorsei omitted, and criticises the whole affair with much free dom and severity. The Nashville Union stales that tiie < entriil Hank of that city lias resumed the redemption of its notes. ♦ Twenty-six dead bodies, victims ol the late steam ferry-boat disuslcr at Philadelphia, have been recovered from the river, and it has been ascertained that twenty-five more are yet mis riwy. Hater intelligence from Havana strengthens the suspicion that a British licet is congrega ting there for a descent upon Nicaragua. It appears that at Virgin’s Bay, in Nicara gua, there is not a single female.— S. C. Time*. Then Virgin’s Bay must be an Eden of a place, and a very Paradise of old bachelors and widowers pro tern. But query—ds not the name a misnomer? And lias the place any inhabitants at all ? ♦ A few days ago, a police officer in Charles ton, upon searching the premises of an old ne gro woman, discovered about SI,OOO worth of clothing of various descriptions. The sable proprietress had not been found, and it was suspected that she was not the only one who is in the secret of the private transfer of this ex tensive lot of dry goods. Mr. Hufty, the Sheriff elect of New Orleans, who has been deposed by the Legislature, and whose appointed successor has also been de clared by the (Ith District Court to be the legal officer, lias taken an appeal to the Supreme Court of Louisiana, and will not give up his liooks and papers until the case is decided by that tribunal. Gov. Barstow, of Wisconsin, who has here tofore held on to the office in opposition to the expressed will of a majority of the people, has determined to retire, and has tendered his resignation to the Legislature. There will no doubt be still much contention and dispute about the office, as the acceptance of his “res ignation” will in itself be an indirect repudia tion of liasliford’s claims to the office by virtue of an election by the people. It seems that some well-informed and expe rienced nautical men have still very strong hopes of the safety of the Pacific. Among others, Capt. Judkins of the steamship Persia (who made the passage during the time the Pacific would have made it liad she come up to tier schedule,) expresses his confidence that she is not lost. Mr. Collins, also, is sanguine of her safety. The propeller Arctic, which returned to New York on the 20th, remained in port only a few hours, and again put to sea to continue the search. - Inserting a Bing in a Bear’s Nose. A Mr. Alfred Lovell appears before the pub lic of New Orleans in a very singular “card.” It is an apology to the citizens for liis failure heretofore to comply with a restriction imposed upon him by the authorities as a preliminary to the running of his “Australian Bear” against the horse “Rocky Mountain Chief.”— The authorities required him to insert a ring in the nose of the bear, to prevent his doing mischief to the crowd assembled to witness the race. Lovell states that after much difficulty he procured a ring of the peculiar form and effect desired; but the question, how the ring was to be inserted in tlie nostrils of the bear, was a more serious one, and lie lias not yet been able to solve it. Someone suggested chloroform, and lie states that he lias “admin istered it in fabulous quantities, in the pres ence of many respectable physicians of Now Orleans, and all without effect.” He wonders at this exemption of Bruin from the influence of an ether so powerful in its effects upon all other creatures, and asks, “Is the great race to be stopped on account of the idiosynoracy of my bear ?” In conclusion, he asks the med ical faculty to come to bis relief, and requests the citizens not to put the blame of tlieir dis appointment upon him, but upon the authori ties who have imposed on him so unnecessary and impracticable a requirement. The Charleston and Columbia Steamboat Line. The new enterprise of runuiug a steamboat line from Charleston to Columbia, S. C., has had a very successful commencement. The Gov. Graham'the first boat from Charleston, ■- arrived at Columbia on the 22d inst., having experienced no difficulties or delays on account of the river navigation : but she was delayed fully two days during the passage by the want of wood. The experiment being anew one, no wood was provided along the banks of the viver, and the crew had to land and cut wood as needed, in some instances having to go a unße from the river to procure it, and general lyihaving to cut green wood. The Gov. Grn aiaw had up-freiglit to the amount of SSOO, aud was to have left Columbia on the 23d with about the same amount of down-freight, of which 500 baJee of cotton formed the bulk.— The company have established a very reasona ble rate of freight, taking cotton at 75 cents per bale, and other freight in proportion. Selfish Philanthropy. fanaticism ever pushes its schemes ol mis taken “philanthropy” to the injury rather than the benefit of humanity. Even when not allied with selfishness, the zeal of the fanatic is nothing but intemperance and intolerance of the grossest kind : and as these attributes dis dain practical information and sound judg ment, ignorance usually directs and disaster attend- ilr career. The British Government is represented to be at present interfering in the domestic af fairs ol the Chinese, with all the reckless zeal of fanaticism and all the blindness and intem perance of selfish philanthropy. The custom of selling children, generally the females, has long prevailed in some of the districts of Chi na. This revolting and apparently unfeeling course is, however, hut a substitute for infan ticide; lor so dense is the population, and so inadequate and precarious the means of sup port, that millions of female children have ac tually been murdered by tlieir parents ! The law tolerates it, as a means of averting famine anil diminishing pauperism and crime.’ The sale of these doomed and innocent infants is certainly a more humane resort than their strangulation ; and the remedy for the crying evil that necessitates cither alternative lies not in a prohibition of the sale, but in the amelio ration of the condition of the people who are forced to such a dire extremity. What has Great Britain ever done to ameliorate the con dition of this people ? She extorts from them a portion of the pittance which constitutes their blender means of support; she has for ced upon them, against tlieir will, the opium which she introduced at the cannon’s mouth, and which is the greatest curse of the country —more disastrous and pernicious even than intoxicating liquor. She profits by the contin uance of this interference and abuse, and therefore has no thought of abating them.— But false philanthropy, overlooking these preg nant causes of Chinese misery and crime, fix es its gaze upon the traffic in children, and blind fanaticism resolves upon its suppression. We are told that one Portuguese vescl contain ing children thus purchased has been over hauled, the children released, aud the captain fined £IOO ; and that Sir .John Bowling had issued a proclamation for the suppression of the traffic. Guided only by the false philan thropy which makes it the boasted opponent of individual (not national) slavery, the Bri tish Government is about to add another to tho oppressions which it lias inflicted upon the Chinese, and to compel that unfortunate peo ple to substitute a far more revolting crime for that of selling their children to strangers who can and will provide for them better than their parents. In the true spirit of Pharasai cal fanaticism, Great Britain resolves on the suppression of an evil, without providing any measure to avert an alternative more heinous and revolting, which must inevitably be adop ted in the present condition of Chinese life.— Her vaunted opposition to slavery must be en forced, even at the sacrifice of the lives of the victims whom she would save from a master’s rule ! In so doing slio is interfering with the decrees of Providence and the instincts of hu manity—she is entailing death or a life of mis ery and crime upon those whom she under takes to protect—and all to enforce obedience to a principle which, however humane in the abstract, is unsuited to the condition and ca pacity of many nations, and can only be ap plied to them to their injury and retrograda tion in the path of civilization and human happiness. ♦ Mr. Everett on Washington. lion. Edward Everett’s lecture on Washing ton lias been received in Richmond and Peters burg, Va., with the most enthusiastic delight and applause. At Richmond, the proceeds amounted to SBSB, which were applied to the fund for the purchase of Mt. Vernon. The Petersburg Express thus glowingly speaks of the delivery and style of the lecture at Peters burg : “ Intoxicated by the eloquence of a noble oration and yet under the spell of the enchan ter, we sit down to give some inadequate ex pression to the feelings with which we have been inspired in listening to the silver words of Edward Everett upon George Washington. But we hardly know what to say. An excess of delight like an excess of terror for the mo ment renders its object voiceless, and as those who looked upon the Medusa were frozen into silence, so coming directly from the hall where for nearly two hours we sat in mute eestacy as the glorious music fell upon our ears, we | find no language to utter forth our admiration, j It is difficult which the most to commend, the style, the manner or the embodied thought of the wonderful performance, and almost every individual with whom we exchanged an opin ion, as we passed out of the room, had trea sured up a different passage, this one reuiem i boring some noble sentiment, and that one re ! calling some gem of rhetoric that 101 l amid the prolusion of brilliants which the orator scat tered around him as he proceeded. To declare that it was the most beautiful speech that we * over heard—to say that it descended upon us j like a rain of pearls—would be to do the great est injustice to Mr. Everett, for it would im ply that the effort was addressed rather to the imagination than to the judgment, and never was there a speech of more entire simplicity or one more perfectly free from the ad nipt nu dum. Os turgid phrases, swelling periods made up of the largest words in the dictiona ry, there were none—the most exquisitely fiu \ ished portions were constructed of the simplest j material of diction. It seemed as if the great master of eloquent composition had chosen all I those ornaments of language which had been rejected by more pretentious workmen, aud so arranged them as to produce an effect beyond their highest ambitions. Macaulay tells us. in a happy illustration, that there is a window ; in Lincoln Cathedral which was made by an apprentice out of the pieces of glass which had been thrown aside by liis employer, and that the window was so far superior to every other ! > n the Church that, according to tradition, the vanquished artist killed himself from mortifi cation. So Mr. Everett, disdaining to use those artifices of clap trap and prcttiucsscs of speech which distinguish and deform the usual efforts ot modern oratory, has fashioned a style which may till the souls of our grandiloquent public speakers with despair.” ■ -♦—— State elections are to be held in Connecticut on the first Monday in April, and in Rhode Island on the second Wednesday of the same month. Business in Chattanooga. The Advertiser of the 20th, thus speaks of the business of that place Business at the wharf has received a fresh impulse, and things are beginning to talk. Be were surprised to see what heavy loads the up river steamers had as they left our ports oil yesterday. Com mission men, draymen, captains and clerks ure busy, with present trade, and good pros pect ahead. Our wharves are lined with fiat boats, having on board lumber, corn, potatoes, and the like. Tilings may be put down as de cidedly active in Chattanooga. ♦ The Pork Trade of the West. The Price Current publishes full returns of I lie pork trade of the West—also the shipments East. The increase in the number of hogs packed over last year is 343,01X1 head-—in crease in weight equal to 220,000 hogs. The increase in the shipments East during the sea son, by the various railways and the Lakes, amounts to 155,000 head. - - - California Finances. Some people have an idea, that California is so pre-eminently a land of gold, that sueli a thing as poverty is unknown. That this idea is not altogether correct, is shown by the fact that the debts of parties taking the benefit of the Insolvent Act last year, were $8,000,000. To meet these, assets were rendered estimated at $1,000,000, but which when sold, brought only $2,000. One insolvent’s assets estimated at $53,000. sold for $3.50, andthc promissory note of another, once considered very rich, for SIO,OOO, brought $2. ♦- l>r. Graham, wlio was sentenced to the State’s Prison at Sing-Sing for a number of years, in consequence of the homicide of Col. Loring, at St. Nicholas Hotel, is said to be so ill that it is not thought lie will live. The Doc tor was made Apothecary when lie entered the prison, and many persons grumble because lie was not made to labor like the more common convicts. It seems that his immunities did not preserve liis health or keep up his spirits. The New York Herald says : “ The body of Capt. Palmer, of the schooner Eudoralmogene, the vessel scuttled and sunk near City Island, Long Island .Sound, last fall, on her passage from Williamsburg to New Haven, and whose, fate has since remained a mystery, was discov ered Saturday, 16tli, liy two boys who were playing near the foot of North Second street, Williamsburg. The body was sewed up in a coarse coal sack, the legs drawn close up to the abdomen, and tied together at the knees. Upon being exposed by the Coroner, the body was recognised by Mr. Kingsland, of Green point, who was well acquainted with Captain Palmer. An incised wound was found on the side of the neck, ex po ’ng the carotid artery, and a cut from a sharp weapon was on the forehead, proving that he had been murdered. The Coroner will hold an inquest on the body to-morrow, and will endeavor to procure the attendance of witnesses from Deep Itivcr, Con necticut, the home of Capt. Palmer. The ne gro charged with the murder is still under ar rest.” The Persia brings intelligence that the Co vent Garden Theatre, in London, was destroy ed on the night of the 3d inst. Few persons were in the building at the time, audit is sup posed that no 1 lives were lost. The total loss is estimated at about £300,000. In 1808, this structure was burned and twenty perished in the ruins. The Journal of Commerce states that a very respectable ship owner has assured the editors of that paper, that he was in possession of evi dence going to prove that the government of President AValker, cf Nicaragua, had been re cognized by Great Britain, which had likewise concluded with his representative at the Court of St. James, a treaty consenting that the Mos quito territory be annexed to the Nicaraguan Republic. Seizure of Cannon and Sharp’s Kifles. The following extra from the Lexington Mis souri Express of the Oth, gives some particu lars of the seizure of arms destined for the Kansas traitors: The good steamer Arabia, Captain John S. Shaw, arrived at our wharf about sunrise this morning, immediately on landing, a committee was despatched up town to inform our citizens that a person from Massachusetts was on board, having in liis possession one hundred Sharp’s ritles and two cannon ! destined for service in Kansas, and sent forward by the Massachu setts Aid Society. This information brought together many of our most respectable and re liable citizens, when a conference was had with Mr. “Start,” with a view of inducing him to leave the “dangerous” weapons with our citi zens for safe keeping. This he assented to, and delivered the “goods” up, subject to the requisition of Gov. Shannon or his successor in office. The proceedings were orderly, and although the determination to arrest the arms was de cided, no one talked of violence to tho pool tool that could so heartlessly lend himself to such unnatural work. The arms were boxed up and marked “Car penter’s Tools.” The discovery that they were on board, was made at or below Glasgow, from a letter dropped by Mr. S. in the cabin, and picked up by a boy and handed to Capt. Shaw, by whom it was read aloud in the Social Hall. The passengers and officers were high ly incensed at the disclosures, but no indigni ty was off ered to the miserable disorganize!-. “The “Carpenter’s Tools” are now safely stored in this city. ♦ The city of Jcddo, in Japan, the partial de struction of which was recently noticed by us, is described in Lippineott’s Gazctceras the sec ond capital of Japan, it being the residence of the Siogun, or military Emperor. It is situa ted on the Gulf of Jeddo, on the southeast coast of the Island of Niphon, in lat. 35 deg. 10 min. N., long. 130 deg. 10 min. E. Its popu lation is stated to be 1,500,000. Tho city is said to be enclosed by a trench, and intersect* ! ed by numerous canals ami branches of a riv | er, navigable for vessels of moderate burden.— It has a fortified palace with very extensive grounds, many noble residences ornamented i externally with sculptures and painting, some ! large temples and other public edifices, and nu- I uierous conventual establishments; but its ! dwellings are mostly wood, and it suffers fre i qucntly from destructive fires. The imperial library is said to contain 160,000 volumes.— I he Dutch have long had a commercial mission at Jcddo, andboththe Americans and the Brit ish have recently concluded treaties from which important results may be expected.— Outside of the city are two large suburbs. Negro Suffrage in the District. Mr. Greeley, in a recent letter to the Tri bune, complains that free persons of color in this District are not allowed to vote, and are ineligible to office. Colored persons are not allowed to vote in New York either, Mr. Grcc ley,. unless they are freeholders, nor are they eligible to office in that State. The people of New \ ork, iu 1846, refused, by a majority of 153,000. to grant universal suffrage to the ne groes. Why does not Mr. Greeley redress this grievance, as he regards it, home, before he embarks in a crusade against the people of this District ? Waih. Organ. Cursing Association. The Okalona (Miss.) News suggests the or ganization in that place of a “Cursing Associ ation,’’ for the purpose of building a tepee around a grave yard. -‘The power of profan ity,” remarks the editor “which runs to waste in* the streets is enormous. Let every mem ber of the Association, whenever he utters an oath, be obliged to give a paling, and whenev er he curses, let him contribute a rail to make a fence around the grave yard. We are well aware that the Bible forbids to render ‘railing for railing,’ but we are sure it has no applica tion to such cases as the present. We do not know the amount requisite to enclose our cem etery, but it is amply within the means of the proposed Association. There were sixty-ouc votes polled at the late election ; some few ot the voters of our village do not swear, but there are usually a number of accomplished swearers in town not yet entitled toavotc, and many of our boys can bold a hand witli any of their seniors. All things considered, we think the income of the Association might be estima ted at half a dozen palings a day from fifty regular contributors, which would pale fifty yards a day. A few court days would supply all the rails, and the Sunday cursing could be set apart as a fund for posts. The little boys might find the nails, and after the paling was completed the villagers, who affect such phra ses, “Darn my skin,” “By the great Mogul, &c., could whitewash it.” This is a capital suggestion, and there are many other places beside Okalona where the organization of a Cursing Association for some useful object, would prove one of the easiest and most efficient modes ever adopted for rais ing a large revenue. The vast amount of curs ing power that now runs to waste is enough to overcome every economical mind with a settled melancholy. Cursing was for a time practised principally in military and navy circles, but it has now become as common and cheap as dirt. Every loafer keeps a supply of the article, and little boys damn each other’s eyes and souls with as much vim as if they had the power to execute the sentences which they pronounce. The great originality and wit required for cursing naturally gives tlieir possessor and ex alted standing in the opinion both of liis fellow men and himself. Every man wlio can bring in the name of the Almighty upon the slightest occasion, is naturally regarded as a fellow of infinite humor. Such a luxury ought not to be enjoyed without paying for it, ancl lienee the value of the suggestion of the Okalona News. —Richmond Dispatch. Galled. Miss Murray’s book has touched our North ern Abolitionists on the raw. It is not so much her view of slavery that irks them, as her de claration of the good taste, elegance and re finement of Southern ladies and gentlemen.— They wince, and some of them absolutely howl, at the exposure of the vulgarity, snobbish tawdiuess and coarse pretension which distin guish the bon ton of their cities ; an exposure made all the more severe by the undoubted competency of Miss Murray to judge upon these subjects. That a favorite Maid of Honor to Queen Victoria should tell them that their New York society is vulgar and pretentious is bad enough, but much worse is her declara tion that the hated Southerns possess, by far, more taste, better breeding and superior re finement. The same opinions were expressed by Lord Morpeth, and cannot fail to be enter tained by any really high bred lady or gen tleman, wlio travels through the two sections, j — Sac. Journal. Cheap and Excellent Candles. The following recipe 1 have tried several times, and find it all it is cracked up to be. I have no doubt that it would have been worth SSO to me had I known it five years ago.— Alany farmers have a surplus of stale fat and dirty grease, which can bemade into good can dles at a trifling expense. I kept both tallow’ and lard candles through the last summer, and lard candles standing the best and burning quite as w’ell and giving as good a light as the tallow ones. Directions for making good can dles from lard : For 12 pounds lard, take 1 pound saltpetre, and 1 pound of alum, mix them and pulverize them ; dissolve the saltpe tre and alum in a gill of boiling W’ater: pour the compound into the lard before it is quite all melted, stir the whole until it boils, skim off what rises; let it simmer until the water is boiled out, or until it ceases to throw off steam; pour off the lard as soon as it is done, and clean the boiler while it is hot. If the candles are to run, you may commence immediately, if to be dipped, let the lard cool to a cake, and then treat it as you would tallow.” —Correspondence X. E. Farmer. A correspondent of the Independent Press, ! of Abbeville, writes in reference to the use of j damaged potatoes by cows : Recently l bad some potato banks opened, and found them largely decayed. There was a considerable amount of them thrown out to the hogs. The milch cows and stock cattle were in good keeping, aud likely ate heartily of them. Nor should 1 have prevented it had I been present, as 1 never had heard, that I recollect, of decayed potatoes injuring cattle. Soon after they had ate of the potatoes one and another were taken sick, and in less than a week seven head died. Ten in all were made | sick, but three are likely to recover. A Scene at the Gate of Paradise. A poor tailor, being released from a trou blesome world and a scolding wife, appeared at the gate of Paradise. Peter asked him if he had ever been to purgatory ? “No,” replied the tailor, “but I have been married.” “Oh, ah !” said Peter, “ a scolding wife, too—’tis all the same—l understand you, walk in, poor man; your troubles are ended.” Peter had scarcely shut the door, when a fat turtle-eating Alderman came along, puffing and blowing. “ Halloo ! you fellow,” he cried, “ open the door.” “ Not so fast,” said Peter, looking through a wicket, “have you ever been to l’urgato ! ry ?” “ No,” said the Alderman, “ but what of i that? You have let in that poor half-starved scarecrow of a tailor, and he has been no more to Purgatory than myself.” But he has been married,” said Peter. “Married!” exclaimed the Alderman, “why, 1 have been married twice.” “ The devil you have!” said Peter: “then be oft’ with you—Paradise is no place for fools !” Woman’s Curiosity. The following scene is recommended to the consideration of our young gents who are cul tivating their upper lips: Amy.—“l wonder how it goes to kiss one of those creatures with a horrid moustache ?” Fanny.—“ Why, la! Amy, of course 1 don’t know!” Amy.—“ Well, I’m going to get the boot brush and try it.” Amy finds out, and the scene closes.
