UAItdKNT CITY CIRCULATION.
Supreme Court of Geornia.
We loam from the liitelligeucci', that tliin
Court met at A lantii on Monday. Judges
McDonald and Denning, the Assistant Depor
tee, tiie Clerk of the Court, and many leading
members of the bar, were in attendance. Judge
Lumpkin had not arrived on Monday.
The men mentioned by us the other day as
having been arrested on suspicion of having
robbed the store of Lallerstedt & Dcniing, *f
Vugiistu, liave had an examination and been

The Adriatic, the new and gigantic steamer
of the Collins line, is now rapidlyapproaehing
completion, and will be ready for launching
about tin- sth of April.
The prohibitory liquor law being still in
force in Rhode Island, the article cun only be
proi'iireil from the drug stores for medical or
mechanical purposes. The prohibition, how
ever, does not appear to have been conducive
to the public health, for two of the patent
medicine establishments of the city have re
turned as their sales for last year 1,000 bar
rels and 432,000 bottles of medicines, amount
ing to the sum of $700,000!

The ice at the North was still an obstruction
to the navigation of many rivers last week.—
The Hudson was frozen over and impervious
to navigation above Tarrytown. The Dela
ware was still choked up, and navigation to
Philadelphia had not been fully resumed. The
ice was breaking up in the upper Ohio river,
but would gorge in many places and till up the
bed of the river.

We are glad to see that the people of South
Carolina are becoming more and more aroused
to the importance of sending emigrant* to Kan
sas. Very spirited and promising meetings
have been held in Charleston, Columbia, and a
number of the Districts, and a determination
to act promptly and liberally lias been mani
fested. In portions of Georgia and Alabama,
too, the people are taking hold of the subject
in a spirit becoming its importance. Maj.
Buford’s enterprise has been handsomely en
couraged and aided, and there is no doubt of
the entire success of bis expedition, lie will
undoubtedly take out a large company and
establish a nourishing settlement. The 3d day
of April is the time for emigrants to join him
in this city. Bear it in mind, and be ready to
start at that time.
New Counties.
IJesitles organizing several new counties (we
had greatly too many before), our lust Legis
lature changed the names of two old ones. It
re-christened Kinchufoonee, Webster; and Mc-
Intosh, I’res ton. We believe that our enor
mous list of counties now includes the names
of all the great men of the nation, living or
dead, nnd all the Indian names known. We
are only aware of “Hiawatha” and “Hilly
Bowlegs” among the Indian names yet to be
honored in this way, and we presume that
their time will soon come. Our own county of
Muscogee lias been lopped off and frittered
away to make new counties, ultil it now lias
• oily one voting precinct outside of this city,
and there was a bill before the last legislature
to lop off that precinct for anew county ! We
presume that this will not only be done at the
next session, but at least two more counties
will be formed out of Columbus—one consist
ing of tiie Wynnton settlement, and another
formed by dividing the city proper along the
line of “Hattie How.” We trust that the can
didates can afford to wait patiently for the ac
tion of the Legislature, and that in a few years
we will have counties and cities enough in
Georgia to accommodate all aspirants for of
fice.
•• Save mo from my Friends.”
Tlio British papers were lately jubilant over
a visit paid by the Sultan of Turkey to an En
glish masked bull at Constantinople, and con
sidered the occurrence as so unusual and ex
traordinary as to indicate a great revolution
in Turkish sentiment and civilization. Such
an occurrence was never known before—both
Turkish religion and custom opposing such
levity and frivolity ns a heinous offence.—
lienee the attendance of the Sultan was her
alded as a most notable incident, and consid
ered as marking an era in Turkish history.—
I tut now the other side of the story comes to
us in a letter from Constantinople, dated Feb.
Htli, to the London Morning Advertiser. This
correspondent (who is of course an English
man) writes that Lord Stratford, the British
Ambassador, compelled the Sultan to violate the
religion and the public sentiment ofkisnation
by “many threats and much coercion;” that
the poor “sovereign” protested “with tears
against such an infringement of his dignity,”
but his English “ally’’ was inexorable; and
that when the promise hud been extorted and
became known, “the chiefs of the Mohoimue
dan priesthood gathered around their prince
and entreated him to resent the insult offered
and defy the menaces of the Christian ambas
sador.” He was, however, too weak to resist,
and attended the ball os previously reported.
Among other scenes offensive to Turkish
good manners and decorum, the “Christian”
managers of this frolic had a French cook
dressed up to resemble a bear, who repeated
in the presence of the offended Sultan some
doggerel verses in abuse of ltussia ! Subse
quently to this affair, the French made a simi
lar demand for the Sultan’s presence at one of
their balls, and paraded 10,000 troops in the
streets to enforce their demand.
Truly, the Allies are not only protecting, hut
but also civilising Turkey—with a vengeance I
PARTY VIEWS AND MOVEMENTS.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald writes that the “Southern Amer
ican?” at the National capital now admit the
cheerless prospect of .Mr. Fillmore s election,
and are half inclined to surrender. He inti
mates that a portion of the Democratic partj
are encouraging this feeling by holding out in
ducements for a union of the Southern Know
Nothings and the Democrats. The same wri
ter speaks thus of the Democratic aspirants
and their prospects : “It is now ascertained
in political circles that Mr. Duoliaimn will get
no Southern State in the Convention. Ihe
supposed partiality of Virginia means nothing
sincere. Louisiana, surely anticipated, is cer
tainly lost to him. General l’iorces lricnds
arc cheered, but are not quite contidcnt of the
two-thirds vote. That rule will probably de
capitate all the present prominent aspirants.
Ai.aiiama.—lion. George 1). Shortridge, last
year the Know Nothing candidate for Govern
or, ami lion. Alex. White, lately a Union Whig
Representative in Congress, have published an
address to the American parly of Alabama, in
which they express their entire disapprobation
of the recent platform adopted at Philadelphia,
give it as their opinion that no Southern man
can safely stand on it, and propose another
Convention to be held in July next at Nash
ville, to lay down an acceptable platform.
Louisiana. —The Tliibodanx (La.) Minerva,
a Know Nothing paper, says that the Louisi
ana delegation to the Democratic National
l ‘(invention arc pledged to the support of .1 mlge
Douglas. Wo thought it strange that a dele
gation headed by Mr. Soule should be favora
ble to the re-nomination of President Pierce,
and we feel confident that the Minerva lias
correctly represented Mr. Soule’s position at
least.
Ohio. —The American State Council of Ohio
met at Columbus last week, and adopted a re
port and resolutions repudiating both the
platform recently adopted at Philadelphia and
the nominations of Fillmore and Donelson—
not, however, without strong opposition and a
stormy debate. Ex Gov. Ford presided, and
“opened the ball” by making a speech defend
ing his course in seceding from the Philadel
phia National Council.
Maim:. — The Whig members of the Legisla
ture of Maine lisld a meeting on Thursday of
last week, and passed resolutions declaring
that it is not advisable for the Whigs of Maine
at the present time to take any action in re
gard to the nomination of candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President, hut to maintain their
organization, and take such action as future
circumstances may dictate. The Whig State
Committee were requested to call a State Con
vention in July next.
New Hampshire. —The Concord Patriot
publishes returns from the whole State with
tiie exception of four small towns, which gave
last year Baker, 133; Metcalf, 70; scattering,
15. This would make the vote stand :
Wells, Democrat, 32,070
Metcalf, Abolition K. X. 32,120
Goodwin, Whig, and scattering, 2,480
The whole vote (says the Patriot) will ex
ceed 0(5,000, or 2,000 more than that of last
year when the largest vote ever cast was
thrown.
The Senate will stand 14 Democrats to 8 Ab
olitionists and Know Nothings. In regard to
the complexion of the lower House the Patriot
says :
“Whole number of Representatives elected,*
314; Democrats, 150; all others, 1(54. This
gives an apparent majority of 14 against tiie
Democrats; but among those reckoned against
us are a number who cannot be relied on for
Metcalf.”
Hon. David Wilniot, the Chairman of the
Republican State Committee, has called a Re
publican State Convention to meet in Philadel
phia on Monday, the Ifith of June, for tliepur
pose of choosing delegates to the National Con
vention and making State nominations.
Immense Steamship.
The tendency iu steamboat architecture is
constantly to larger and larger vessels. The
Persia is found to consume less coal, according
to her tonnage, than any of her smaller con
sorts in the Cunard line. She runs fasterthan
the others, carries more passengers and
freight, and requires but a very little larger
crew than they. Anew steamer is expected
this year from England, properly named the
Leviathan. Her tonage will be 22,000 ! Her
estimated draught of water, thirty feet, has
given rise to a question about her port of en
try Itere. Portland, in Maine, claims to be
alone able to accomodate her, w hile New Yor
kers insist that site will be otffiged to bring her
freight, to the emporium, and say that by go
ing round through Long Island Sound, she can
take thirty feet of water to Morris’ Point,
eighteen miles from the Battery. Then the
passengers and cargo can be quickly taken by
steamboats to (lie great city.
Land Warrants.
There is a little depression in the market
to-day, mainly owing to an effort oil the part
of large dealers in New York to get up a panic
in the market similar to the one produced by
the same sort of movement in November last.
Country dealers should look well to till such
movements, and by a concert of action among
themselves avert the heavy losses they may be
otherwise subjected to. A system of tele
graphing front city to city to the effect that
warrants arc heavy and declining, has been
kept up for a day or two. Quotations to-day:
1 tiff’s and Bff’s $1 121 per acre.
18ff’s 1 08’ “

Terrible Accident.
The most horrible occurrence that we have
heard of for a long time, says the Gallatin
(Miss.) Argus of Friday the 14th, occurred
eight miles from that place, on the Jackson
road, at the store of Mr. Allman. Allman was
smoking iu the store room, and being called to
breakfast, started out, and, it is supposed,
passed over a keg of powder, dropping fire in
to it. The house was leveled to the ground
by the explosion that ensued, and was soou
wrapped in tlauics. Some persons near by ran
to the spot, ami succeeded m getting Airs. All
man from the ruins, badly, but uot dangerous
ly hurt and bruised. No property was saved;
and a gentleman just from the spot says that
the skull and ribs of the unfortunate Allman
were all that remained visible of him anunig
the smoking ruins.
Snt Lovengood’s Daddy, ‘Acting Horse.’
“ Hold th t ere lioss down to the yearth.
“ He’< a spreadin’ his tail to tiy now. “Keep
him whar he is.” ‘ Wo,’ ‘wo, Shavetail.’—
‘lie’s a dancin’ a jig.’ These, and like ex
pressio s, were addressed to a queer-looking,
long-legged, short-bodied, small-headed, white
haired, "hog-eyed, fuuny sort of a genius, fresh
from some bench legged Jews’ clothing store,
and mounted on ‘Tun-poke,’ a nick-tailed,
bow-necked, long poor horse, half daily, half
devil, and enveloped all over in a perfect net
work of bridle reins, cruppers, raartigales,
straps, ciicinglcs, and red ferretin’ who had
reined up in front of Pat Nash’s grocery among
a crowd of wild mountaineers, full of light and
mean whiskey.
“ 1 say, you durned ash cats,just keep your
shirts on, will ye ? Vou never seed a rale boss
till 1 rid up ; Tarpoke is just next to the best
boss that ever shelled nubbins, and lie’s dead
as a still wurruin, poor old Tickytail.”
“ What killed him, But V” says an anxious
inquirer.
‘Why, nothin,’ you tarnai fool; lie j st died
so, died a staudin’ up at that. Wasn’t that
good pluck ‘! Froze stiff ; no, not that adzact
ly, but starved fust, and then froze afterwards,
so stiff that when dad and uie pushed him
over lie jist stuck out so (spreading bis arms
and legs) like a carpenter’s bench, an’ we
waited seventeen days fur him to thaw afore
we could skin him. Well, thar we was—Dad
an’ me and Sail, and Jake, (fool Jake we called
him fur short,) an Phinoas, an’ Callilmc, Jane
an’ Sharlottean, an’ Simon, Saul an’ Caslius,
Henry Clay, au’ Noah Dan Webster, an’the
twin gals, and Cathrinc Second, andCleopatry
Antony, an’ Jane Lind, and Tom Bullion, and
mam herself, all left without ara boss to crap
with.
That was a nice mess fur a ’spcctablc white
family to he slasbiu’ about iu, wern’t it '! Ibe
durned if didn’t feel sorter like stcaliu’ a boss
sometimes. Well, we waited, an’ rested, an’
wished, until well on into strawberry time,
hopein’ sum stray boss inout cum along, but
dog my cat, es any sicli luck as that ever cu is
whar dad is, lie’s dratted mean, an’ lazy, an’
ugly, an’ savage.
‘Well onenite, dad he lay awake all nitc a
snorin’ an’ rollin’ an’ a blowin’, an’ a scratcli
in’ an’ a whisperin’ at mam, and next morniu’
says he, “But, I’ll tell you what we’ll do ; I’ll
be a boss myself, and pull the plough while
you drive me, and we’ll brake up corn ground,
and then the ‘old quilt,’ (that was mam) an’
the brats kin plant or let alone, jist as they
darned please. So out we goes to the paw
paw thicket, and pealed a rite peart chance of
bark, and mam and me made gears for dad,
and they bccum him mitily; then lie would
have a bridle, so l gits an old umbrillcr what
I’d found, its a little forked piece of iron, sor
ter like onto a pitch-fork, ye no, an’ we bent
and twisted it sorter into a bridle bit, snafil
shape; (dad wanted akurb as hesaid he hadn’t
work’t fur sum time, an mite sorter feel his
oats an’ go to cavortin’.) Well, when we
got the bridle all fixed on dad; he champed the
bit just like a boss (he allers was a most kom
plicatcd, durned old fool, any how, and mam
allers sed so when lie wern’t about) then I put
on the geers, an’ out me an’ dad goes to the
field, 1 a leadin’ dad by the bridle, and atoat
in’ the gopher plough on my back. When we
come to the fence, 1 let down a gap, an’ it
made dad mad ; lie wanted to jump the fence
on all fours, horse fashion. 1 hitched on to
the gopher, an’ away we went, dad leanin’
forad tu liis pullin’ rite peart, an’ we made
sharp plowin’, dad goin’ rite over the sprouts
an’ bushes same as a rale boss, the only differ
ence was he went on two legs. Presently we
cum to a sassfrac bush, an’ dad to keep his
karacter up as a boss, bulged rite squar intu
it, an’ tore down a hornit’s nest, nigh on to as
big as a boss’s head, an’ all the tribe kivered
him rite strait. Herared and kicked once or
twice, an’ fotclied asqual wussnor ara boss in
the district, an’ sot into runnin’ away jist as
natural as ever you seed. I let go the lines
and hollered ‘Woa dad, woa !’ but yc might
mout as well said woa to a locomotiv. Ge
whilikins! how he runs ! When he cum to a
bush, he’d clar the top of it gopher an’ all;
praps he thought thar mout be anuthcr settle
ment of bald hornits in it, an’ that it wur safer
to go thru, an’quicker done; every now and
then he’d paw the side of his head with fust
one fore leg an’ then the utlicr, then he’d give
himself an openhanded slap, that sounded like
a waggin whip, lie a runnin’ all the time, and
cr karryiu’ that gopher just about as fast an’
as high from the yearth as ever a gopher was
karried, 1 swar. When he cum to the fence
lie busted rite thru’ it, turrin’ down nigh unto
seven pannel—scatterin’ an’ a breakin’ the
rails mitily, an’ there left gopher, geers, sin
gletree, and klcvis, all mixed up not wuth a
durn. Most of his shirt stuck on the splinter
ed end of a rail an’ nigh onto a pint uv hornits
staid with the shirt stingiu’ it all over, the
balance on ‘em, about a gallon and a halt', kept
on with dad. He seemed to run jist about as
fast as a liornit could fly, fur it wur the titest
race l ever did see. Down thru the sedge
grass they all went, the hornits makin’ it look
sorter like a smoke all roun’ dad’s head, and
he, with untilin’ on yearth on but the bridle,
an’ nigh onto a yard of plough line a sailin’
behind.
•1 seed now that lie was aimin’ fur tiie swim
miu’ hole in the creek, whar the bluff is over
twenty-live loot pcrpcndikclar tu the water,
an’ hits nigh on to ten feet deep. Well, to
keep his karacter as a lioss, when he gut to
the bluff'he jist leaped off, or rather lie jist
kept on a runnin', kerslunge into the water he
went; I seed the water fly plum above the
bluff from whar 1 was. Now rite thar boys he
over did the thing, if that was what lie was
arter, for thar’s nary lioss ever folded durned
fool enuff to lope over sicli a place ; a cussed
mule mout a done it, but dad waru't actin’
mule.
1 crept up to the edge and looked over, thar
was dad's bald head for all the yearth like a
peeled onyun, a bobiuup an’ douu, an’ the hor
nits a sailin’ an’ a circlin’roun’ turkey buzzard
fashion, an'wvery once in a while one, an’
sometimes ten, ’ud make a dip at dad’s head.
He kept up a rite peart dodgin’ under, some
times afore they hit him, an’ sometimes arter,
an’ the water was kivered with dead hornits.
‘What on yearth are you doin’ in thar, dad’
sez I. ‘Don’t (dip) yer see these cussed (dip)
internal varmints (dip) arter me ? What, sez
1. them are hoss-tlies thar—yc arn’t really
feared ov them, are yc 1 Moss-flies, h—ll, sez
dad: they’re rale (dip) geuewiuc, bald hornits,
you (dip) infernal cus.’ Well, dad you'll hcv
tu stay rite thar till nite, an’ arter they go to
roost, cum home, and I’ll feed yc. 1 sorter
think you won’t need any curryen lor a week
or so. 1 wish 1 may never see to-morrow, (dip)
if I don't ruinate you (dip) when lgct out, sez
dad.
‘Better say you wish you may never see an
other bald liornit, if you ever play lioss again,
sez I—an’ knowin’ dad’s unmolificd natnr’ 1
broke from them parts, and sorter cum to the
copper mines. I staid hid out until next af
ternoon, when 1 seed a feller travclin’ an’ sez
I, ‘what was goin’ on at the cabin this side
the brook when you passed it 7” Why, uutliin’
much, only a jj’aij was sittin’ in his door with
narry shirt on an’ a >7oy-aii was greasin’ his
back au’ arms, bis head was about as big as'a
ten gallon keg. an’ lie hadn’t the fust sign of a
~v t >—all smooth.’ ‘That man was my dad,’
sez I. ‘Been much fightin’iu this naberhood,
lately ?’ sez the traveler, rather dryly. -Nun
wuth speakin’ ofpussonly, sez I. Now boys I
hnint seed dad since, and would be i'eard to
meet him in the next ten years. Let's drink.’
And the last I saw of ‘But’ lie was stooping
to get in at the doggery door with a mightily
mixed crowd at his heels.

Correspolidi'uce of the Charleston Courier.
Jacksoxmij.e, March 20.
One of our poor health-seeking strangers—
tired and overborne with the pains and pangs
of a diseased body, long endured and unassu
siged by time or place—had himself conveyed
into an adjacent wood, and deliberately took
bis own life, yesterday, lie had a boy driving
him iu a buggy to the scene of the tragedy,
and on his way stopped at a gunsmith’s and
there purchased and proved a pistol, lie paid
for it, got his change, and drove on. Reach
ing a secluded spot, he paid the boy for his
driving, and the money for the hire of the ve
hicle, and told him to drive back. The boy
had hardly driven fifty yards, when he heard
the crack of the pistol, and turned back and
found the unhappy victim with his brains blown
out. lie had put a letter into the office, which
has been sent on to his brother in Boston, un
der an envelope, by the postmaster. The body
was brought homo to the Judson House, and
to-day respectably interred. The name of the
person is J. N. Knox, of Boston, but for some
years a resident of Alabama. Before com
mitting the deed, lie had deposited about .SI,OOO
with the keeper of the hotel, and took his re
ceipt for the same. He was in extremely bad
health, scarce able to walk, and had remarked
that he had suffered more than forty deaths.

The Fire-Arms Men.
The Washington Star of the 14th says :
Among those from a distance now in Wash
ington, are an unusually large number of gen
tlemen interested in patent arms ; the consid
eration in Congress of the bill to increase the
efficiency of the army, which proposes to ex
pend a considerable sum in improved fire arms,
having attracted them hither. They have,
among them, a dozen different kinds of rifles,
muskets, pistols, &c., nearly all of them being
decided improvements on the arms now in use
in the public service. An inspection of their
samples shows that we are advancing quite as
rapidly in the art of killing as in any other
art whatever. The difficulty will be in deci
ding which of the very many decided improve
ments will be most available for the public
service. The class of persons who liave them
in charge, are famous for carrying smooth
tongues in their heads, and are generally able
to argue, each iu favor of his own gun, as as
tutely as any Philadelphia lawyer for his cli
ent. The War Department and the House and
Senate Committees on Military Affairs may
make up their minds to undergo a cross-fire
ordeal from them, almost as much to be dread
ed as a cross-fire from their several patent
weapons.
Recent English papers report that the High
landers of Glenmore, in Inverness-shire, feel
ing aggrieved and indignant at the slanderous
charges brought by Mr. Macaulay against their
predecessors, in his last volume of the History
of England, assembled together, and headed by
a piper playing the “ Rogue’s March,” pro
ceeded to the Black Rock, near Glenmore
House, and there burnt in effigy the distinguish
ed historian. The assembled crowd gave three
shouts of execration as the effigy was consum
ed. Macaulay, when in the Highlands, resid
ep for a considerable time at Glenmore House,
and this act of the indignant Highlanders has
caused no small sensation in the district.

The Sea Serpent in the Highlands.
The villago of Leurbost, parish of Lochs
Lewis, is at present the scene of an unusual
occurrence. This is no less than the appear
ance in one of the inland fresh water lakes of
an animal which from its great size and dimen
sions has not a little puzzled our inland natu
ralists. Some suppose him to be a description
of the hitherto mythological water-kelpie:
while others refer it to the minute descriptions
of the **sea serpent,” which are revived from
time to time in newspaper columns. It has
been repeatedly seen within the last fortnight
by crowds of people, many of whom have come
from the remotest parts of the parish to wit
ness the uncommon spectacle.
The animal is described by some as being in
appearance and size like a “huge peat stack,”
while others affirm that a “six-oared boat”
could pass between the huge tins, which are
occasionally visible. All, however, agree in
describing its form as that of an cel: and we
heard one, whose evidence wo can rely upon,
state that in length he supposed it to be about
40 feet. It is probable that it is no more than
a conger eel after all, animals of this descrip
tion having been caught in Highland lakes
which have attained a huge size. He is cur
rently reported to have swallowed a blanket
inadvertently left on the bank of the lake by a
girl herding cattle. —English Paper.
The Camels.
The camels and dromedaries purchased and
otherwise procured by Major Wayne and Capt,
l’orter under the appropriation made for the
purpose at the last session of Congress, in Asia
Minor, (Feb. 11, 1866,) embarked, and the
vessel would sail with the first fair wind for
the United States. The number of animals
procured is 33, viz : 6 male and 15 female cam
els ; 4 male and 5 female dromedaries.
The vessel is expected to arrive at Indiano
la, Texas, about the last of April, at whiefc
place they will be landed and suffered to re
cruit before being employed for army trans
portation purposes. Several of the animals
arc a present from the Viceroy of Egypt to our
Government.— Waahinyton Star.
The scientific world will learn with regret
the death of the celebrated astronomer, Von
Biela, which took place at Venice on the 18th
of February, in his 74th year. At an early
age he entered the service of Austria, and it
was in the year 1820, while quartered with
his regiment, the 18th infantry of the line, at
the little town of Josephstadt, in Bohemia,
that he made the interesting discovery of the
comet (called after him) circulating round the
sun, between that luminary and the orbit of
Saturn. Having retired from the army, he
spent the last years of his life in the study of
his favorite science—astronomy.
Well Fotgotten.
The Biughampton Democrat says : “ The
London Telegraph, enumerating the American
cities which the Britishers could take ‘just as
easy’ in case of war between thetwoeountries,
leaves out New Orleans altogether ! We can’t
account for the omission except on the ground
that they took it in 1814, and do not think it
necessary to take it over again.”
Judge Breekenridgc, in reprimanding a cri
minal, was answered by him: “Sir, lam not
so great a scoundrel as your honor takes
me to be.” “Put your words closer together,”
replied the Judge.
