liARUKST CITY CIRCULATION.
Fire in Columbus.
A fire broke out on Tuesday night, in a black
smith shop the south side of St. Clair street,
between Brood and Oglethorpe streets, and
communicated quickly to the house used as a
negro quarter by Wood & Cos. Both these
buildings were consumed ; they were framed
houses, and we understand that the title to the
property is in litigation. The fire also com
municated to one or two buildings adjoining
these, and at one time a very serious confla
gration was apprehended ; but by the vigilance
and activity of the fire companies and citizens
assembled, the flames were subdued with only
slight injuries to other property in the vicini
ty. The loss sustained is not large, as the
buildings were of no great value, and the pro
perty in the negro house was all removed and
saved from the flames.

A Foul Murder,
On Saturday last a negro man named Harry
(ianue murdered his overseer, Thomas.l. Cape
lieart, at or near Mount Meigs, in this county.
The negro is the property of John G. Williams,
of Beaufort county, North Carolina, and his
victim was the overseer of that gentleman. —
We have not heard the particulars, but under
stand it was a most brutal, cold-blooded mur
der. The citizens of Mount Meigs offer a re
ward of two hundred dollars for the arrest ol
the murderer, who fled immediately after the
perpetration of the deed, and had not been ar
rested up to yesterday evening.— Monty ornery
Advertiser.
We understand that the negro was arrested
on Sunday night, near Notasulga, in Macon
county, Ala., and was delivered up to his mas
ter on the following morning. A reward of
S2OO had been offered for his apprehension,
which was promptly and cheerfully made up
and paid on the delivery of the negro. We re
gret to hear it reported that the citizens had
resolved to burti him at the stake. It will be
remembered that this was the summary punish
ment inflicted in the same neighborhood, a
year or two ago, upon a negro who luvd killed
his master.

The Atlantic and Gulf Railroad.
We published on Tuesday morning the char
ter of the company to construct this road. An
anxiety expressed by someone of our subscri
bers to learn as clearly as possible the western
‘terminus and probable route of the road, in
duced us to copy the act in full; but the act
leaves much to future investigation and devel
opments and to the discretion of the company.
As several routes contend for the location of
the road, and as opinion is divided as to the
best point on the Chattahoochee river for the
western terminus, we presume that the true
policy for all parties to the contest is to sub
scribe as largely as their means will admit to
the capital stock of the company, for by so
doing they will acquire a larger vote and influ
ence in the convention of stockholders. The
probability is, that if the several sections in
terested pursue this course, neither will have
a controlling vote at the meetings, and the
State will thus become the umpire. As her
unprejudiced judgment, expressed through her
able ami impartial commissioners, will be very
apt to select the best and most profitable route,
it is to the interest of each section claiming
the preference to send as large a number as
possible of intelligent stockholders to represent
its interests ; and this can only be done by lib
eral subscriptions to the stock. We think that
no apprehensions as to the safety or the profit
of the investment need be entertained. No
road ever constructed in the South had a fair
er prospect of an extensive and profitable busi
ness than this has, and probably very few have
been constructed or can be kept up as cheaply
as this can.
We learn that the State Commissioners as
sembled at Milledgeville last week, and organ
ized by selecting Judge Nisbet as President.
They have no doubt concluded their prelimina
ry duties hy this time, and have ordered books
of subscription to be opeued at all the princi
pal points in Southern Georgia. Thefrieudsof
the great enterprise have now an open field
and a fair contest before them, and we trust
that each section will worthily sustain itself
and its interests in the honorable contest to
which it is summoned.

Only seveu or eight years have elapsed since
California was opened to settlement by the citi
zens of the United States, and it has already
become a very important and prosperous State.
The probability is that it now has the requis
ite population to entitle it to four Representa
tives in Congress. We observe, too, that a
spirit of progress and improvement, that would
tie creditable to even an American State of
twenty years’ growth, is manifesting itself in
California. Kailroad projects are engaging
public attention, ami a year or two more will
probably find several rapidly tending towards
completion. Already twenty-two miles of the
Sacramento Valley Railroad are completed, and
the “iron horse” has begun his a nort on the
Pacific coast. This road, we believe, is to con
nect San Francisco with Saeramcnto.
Mr. James Reynolds, of Macon county, Ala.,
was killed on Monday last by Edward lsam,
who shot him with a doublo-barrelled gun,
near Franklin, Ala. We have not heard the
particulars, and do not know how the quarrel
originated, or indeed whether there was any
collision or dispute between them. Some of
the relations of Reynolds offer a reward of
#IOO for the apprehension of lsam, who has
fled.
The Augusta Chronicle states, that on Fri
day morning last there was a frost in that re
gion which considerably injured the peach,
apricot and plum crops, which were in bloom:
but it thinks that a fair crop of all fruits except
apricots may still be expected, uulesshlighted
by another fro9t.
Maj. Buford’s Kansas Company.
Much interest is manifested in this city con
cerning the company of emigrants who are ex
pected to assemble here to-duy and go out to
Kansas under the lead of Maj. .Jefferson Bu
ford. We learn that a considerable accession
to Maj. B.'s company will be made at this
place on his arrival this morning, as many of
our citizens are in “the humor’’ and others
from surrounding counties are expected. At
the time of writing this (Wednesday evening)
we have heard of the arrival of only one com
pany from South Carolina, numbering 29, un
der the direction of Capt. Bell, of Edgefield
District. The following is the Programme for
the reception of Maj. B. and his company this
morning:
1. The Coliimlms Guard*. Capt. Simmies, and the Cil)
Light Guard*, Ca|it. Colquitt, will compute tlie escort of

The Present Condition of Kansas,
A dispatch from Bt. Louis, dated the 31st
nit., announces that “all is quiet in Kansas,”
and that “Gen. Lane, the Free State Senator
recently elected, is on his way to Washington.”
Nothing further is said about the arrest of the
leading revolutionists who wore recently in
open rebellion utTojioku, nor arc wo informed
whether the previous report of the arrest of a
few of them and the dispersion of the remain
der was correct. Wc trust, for the sake of
peace and future quiet, that the authorities
have not again irresolutely neglected their
sworn duty and permitted these wretches to
escap unwhipped of justice, indecision and
too much leniency now, to avoid the use of
harsh measures, may necessitate the adoption
of a much harsher policy hereafter, or may
compel the outraged supporters of law and or
der to take the matter into their own hands.
\Ve arc rejoiced and elated ly tlie accounts
which now rcacli us of the large emigration of
southern men to the Territory, and tlie addi
tion of many slaves to the small number here
tofore carried there. This movement bespeaks
not only resolution, but confidence and earnest
purpose, on tlie part of tlie South. It inspires
us with renewed hopes, because the greater the
amount of property at stake there, the greater
will be tlie exertion and expenditure to protect
it; and because, too, the contrast between the
condition and treatment of the Southern slaves
and that of the paupers of tlie Northern emi
grant societies will be so striking as to dis
abuse many of the hottest and really free set
tlers from the North of the prejudices and er
rors which they have been taught.

The Galveston News, of the 23d, furnishes
the following intelligence:
Tlie San Antonio Herald of the loth inst.,
learns from Mr. J. S. Brown, who lives at the
Fredericksburg crossingoftbe Gaudalupe, that
a lieutenant from Fort Mason, with a party of
twenty dragoons liad a fight with twenty In
dians, on the Gaudalupe, about forty miles
above this place. Tne troops were following a
trail and came upon the Indians where they
were encamped, before either party was aware
of tlie close proximity of the other. Tlie lieu
tenant ordered his men to dismount, and leav
ing nearly one-half to guard the horses, charg
ed the Indians with the others. Three
Indians were killed and several wounded.—
They were so taken by surprise, that they made
little or no resistance, but fled to the moun
tains, leaving their horses, bows, arrows,
shields, booty and camp equipage behind.—
Among tlie horses taken, was one fine bay
American horse, in good order, and a dun stal
lion. Five or six six-shooters, several rifles
and shot guns were among tlie captured arti
cles. Among their blankets and camp equip
age was found a large number of papers, among
which was a note for SIOOO sterling, a deed
for three hundred and twenty acres of land,
with a SIOOO paid thereon, dated in February
last, and a blank book containing the owner's
name, and the date of his leaving a town on
the Mississippi. (Mr. Brown did not recollect
the name.) The lieutenant, (whosenameour
informant did not learn,) will make out and
forward to this city, the full particulars of the
articles recovered. The Indians were believed
to be Lipans. The papers were evidently those
taken from Mr. Hill.
Mississippi.
In the Mississippi Legislature, a jointaeso
lution was unanimously adopted, which recom
mends to the people of that State to take early
ami active measures to encourage emigration
to Kansas. A resolution,* before the Com
mittee on Federal Relations, requests the Gov
ernor to decline receiving any more communi
cations on tho subject of slavery from the free
States, on the ground that they “emanate from
those who are hostile to the exercise of consti
tutional freedom, and are conceived in a spirit
of impertinent interference with the rights of
slaveholding Btates.”
Slaves for Kansas.
The Highflyer, in this morning from Louis
ville, brought between 50 and 60 slaves be
longing to families who are on the way from
Kentucky to Kansas. The slaves who came in
the Highflyer consisted of all ages, sexes and
shades of color, and wereagood-looking, well
dressed, and apparently well-fed party, and
came as cabin passengers.
Since the opening of the river, full 500 slaves
have arrived from the Ohio river on their way
to Kansas. The J. H. Lucas took up nearly
100, the Star of the IVost 100, the Chambers
50 to 76, and almost every boat that has start
ed up the Missouri river, since the opening of
the river, has taken up a large or small num
ber. The slaves are almost in every case tak
en in the cabin, while poor white families go
iug to the same place take passage below, on
deck.
One gentleman from South Carolina, who,
with his family, went up in the Star of tho
West last week, had 50 slaves inthccabiu, aud
another 30, and still another had 20.— St. Lou

What sort of homes drunkenness makes:
“ Houses without windows; gardens without
fences ; fields without tillage ; bams without

Seward and Trumbull.
The Washington correspondent of the Savan
nah Journal mentions the following incidents
in the lives of two of the leading Freesoilers of
the United States Senate :
Messrs. .Seward and Trumbull are coadju
■ tors in the cause of Free-soilism in the Senate.
It may be interesting to some of your readers
to know that both of these Senators were once
residents of the State of Georgia. Mr. Sew
ard, who is now above fity years old, went to
Putnam county, Georgia, whenayouth of eigh
teen, and there taught a school for nearly a
year. While there he dwelt in the house of a
respectable citizen who was one of the patrons
lof the school. His father, whose home I be
i lieve was in New York, wrote to this gcntle
| man, stating that if lie did not cause Ids son
i to return to him he would prosecute him for
harboring a minor after being admonished
against doing so. The gentleman, without
consultation with the young amateur profes
sor, responded to the elder Seward, saying
that the young gentleman spoken of was in
his house, and should remain there as long as
lie would, and that the old gentleman, if so
minded, might prosecute and be !
Mr. Truuibull’s residence was in Meriweth
er county, where he also taught school, stud
ied law, and was admitted to the practice.

Curiosities of California.
To the east of the Sierra Nevada mountains
and live miles from Carson Valley, lies Wash
ho Valley and Lake. Near the stream that
forms the outlet of this lake, and about mid
way between the lake and the “great mead
ows” of the Truckee, on the north, is one of
the most remarkaqle geysers in this part of
the world. The Flacerville American gives the
following description from a gentleman who
visited it. lie describes it as an intermittent
sping of boiling hot water. From a cavity
nearly a foot in diameter, in and upon an
earthy formation resembling rock in hardness,
there issues at intervals a jet of boiling-hot
water, that is often thrown to the height of
twenty feet, and at the end of about five min
utes, entirely subsides for the same length of
time, disappearing many feet downward from
the surface of the rock through which it is
forced, and always accompanied by an internal
rubbling noise as it recedes from view. We
have often heard of the existence of this gey
ser, but never till now have been able to gather
anything like an accurate description of it.—
Unlike many of the so-called boiling springs,
the water from this geyser instantly raises the
mercury to 200 and 208 degress, 212 beiti”
the boiling point of water.
The North Californian, publised at Oroville,
Butte county, of last Saturday, publishes the
following account of a strange event which oc
curred on Table Mountain, on the opposite
side of Feather river, to the town. A party
of eight men started on Thursday last on a
prospecting tour, the result of which was one
of the most important discoveries ever made
in the country. In crossing Table Mountain
they observed that in many places the ground
seemed hollow, and in one place, on striking
upon the ground with a sledge, the echo was
given back with such distinctness that led
them to believe that there would be little diffi
culty in breaking through. Having procured
proper implements, they set to work. After
going to the depth of four feet, one of the par
ty, who was using a crowbar, was seen sud
denly to fall upon liis face ; upon examination
a hole was found about four inches wide,
through which the bar had slipped and sunk
into the bowels of the mountain. The aper
ture was immediately enlarged, but it was
found that owing to the brittleness of the rock,
it was exceedingly dangerous working around
it. The parties have taken up about 3,000
tect around the hole, and are busy getting
windlasses, &c., to prospect it further. A cor
respondent states that both gold and coal have
been found there, and promises us further in
formation. *
A man named Whitlow, says the Sacramen
to Union, killed a California lion with a bowie
knife, on Saturday, in single combat, near
Willow Springs, a few miles from San Andres.
The animal weighed 180 pounds, measured
seven feet from tip to tip, and stood “three
feet in his boots.” Whitlow was but slightly
injured.

The Illinois brings news from the Sandwich
Islands that a lava stream is slowly but surely
winding towards llilo, a city situated on a bay
by that name, which, it is feared, must even
tually be overwhelmed. This eruption is pro
bably from the volcanic peak, known as Man
ua-Loa, which threw out such immense masses
of lava in 1852, and lias not yet ceased. Tra
vellers represent the appearance of the erup
tion at night as fearfully beautiful. The lava
was projected above the mouth of the crater
about five hundred feet, and the volcanic
mountain is situated about ten thousand feet
above the level of the sea. However, that re
gion is famous for its volcanic eruptions.
Terrible Disaster at Sea.
On the 30th January at 11 a. m., says the
Valparaiso Echo, of the 14th Feb., the Chilian
war steamer Cazador left Talcalmano for Val
paraiso, having on board 358 persons. Those
consisted of 80 soldiers of the second batallion
of the line, I officers of tho same, 148 women,
40 children, 14 passengers, and the steamer’s
crew numbering 68 persons. A little before 8
p. m., of the same day, with 8 or 9 miles speed,
and a smooth sea, the steamer ran on a rock
south of Maule, about 18 miles.
It immediately became apparent that the
ship was sinking. An order was at once given
to lower the boats. Os these wore only four.
One of these was upset. Os the other three
one reached the shore about five hundred yards
distant, and the other two entered the harbor
of Maule. The first of these two contained
Captain Cabieses, the purser, one passenger
and 12 seamen. The whole number saved was
43 out of all on board; so that 315 persons
perished.
Among the victims are members of many
iamilies now in the deepest affliction. Only
one female escaped.
A physician, passing by a stone mason’s
shop, bawled out—“ Good morning, Mr. D.—
Hard at work, I see. You finish your grave

next ?”
“Why, yes,’ replied the old man, “unless

Lhe Bear and the Bible-
A correspondent of the St. Louis Republi
can, writing from Jefferson City, gives an
amusing description of a trial which recently
came off at that place, in which all the counsel
rank high at the Missouri bar. Here is the
letter:
A few days since, 1 was serving as a juror
in a case ot slander. Three of our most promi
nent lawyers were engaged—one for the plain
tifl, the others for defendant. The counsel at
tempted to impeach the veracity of one of the
witnesses—an old man Mayhow. They failed
entirely, and when the counsel for plaintiff
came to sum up the evidence, lie said :
•• Gentlemen of the jury, the counsel on the
opposite side have endeavored to impeach the
veracity and destroy the character of the wit
nesses, and particularly of my old friend May
how. 1 must confess, gentlemen, I trembled for
my old friend, when the senior counsel for de
fendant, with his stern countenance, demanded
of the old man, whether he had not told a dif
ferent story to his neighbors, and introduced
Mr. Harris to prove it. But, gentlemen, be
tailed—utterly failed, and lav old friend May
liow came out unscathed. *Yes, gentlemen,
like Daniel of old, out of the lion’s den, with
out a hair of his head having been singed.
This excited the visibles of those familiar
with the authority quoted; but so: e very
broad grins were seen when the senior counsel
for defendant rose, and remarked to his bear
ers, “ That his friend, the counsel for plain
tiff, had not quoted correctly the passage from
the Higher Law : that lie had read and heard
much of Daniel, but that was the first time he
had ever heard of his being in a lion’s den.”
All was silence, however, compared with
the roar when the junior counsel made his re
ply. In alluding to the remarks of plaintiff’s
counsel, he said; “My worthy friend on the
other side is not quite as familiar with the vol
umes of the higher law as lie is with those of
Chitty and Blackstone, or he would not have
attempted to release liis friend Mayhow from
the lion’s den without having a hair of his
head singed. Unlike my senior, I have heard
of Daniel being in the lion’s den ; but until to
day, 1 never heard tba: his roaring majesty
made use of fire. My worthy friend has, 1
suppose, mixed up the escape of Daniel from
the lion’s den with the passage of Nebuchad
nezzar through the fiery furnace, who had not
a hair singed.”

The New Gospel.
We learn from good authority that Rev.
Henry W. Beecher, of Brooklyn, New York,
Rev. Mr. Dutton, of New Haven, Connecticut,
pastors of Orthodox Congregational Churches,
and Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, have re
pudiated Christianity as a Gospel of Peace,
and Christ as the Prince of Peace, aud have
come to the conclusion, that the Kingdom of
God is of this world, and that its servants must
fight, to secure the promised land—that true
and undefiled religion is not “to do justly,
love mercy and walk humbly with God,” but
exactly the reverse—and that piety and sound
learning will be best promoted by the crack of
Sharpe’s Rifles. These gentlemen in the house
of God, have called upon the communion of
Saints, and the Students of Yale College, to
contribute “one rifle or more” each, (price
s2;> per rifle) that the Gospel of war may reign
in Kansas. Mr. Beecher appealed to liis own
peoplo to contribute the twenty-five rifles which
lie had taken the liberty of pledging from Ply
muth Church, adding that “he would not take
up the contribution that evening, as some re
ligious journals might die of grief upon learning
that such an act had been committed on tho Sab
bath.” He “proclaimed himself good fov one ri
fle at least, and more if necessary.” The style
is “The Christian Rifle Corps of Connecticut.”

Dutton, Lieut. Prof. Silliman, Ensign.— Sav.

John W. Forney lias retired from his edito
rial connection with the Washington Union.—
It is rumored that this action is owing to his
preference for Mr. Buchanan as the next Dem
ocratic candidate for tlie Presidency. In his
valedictory, however, which appears in the
Union of Friday, he says: Whoever maybe
nominated as the candidate for President in
1856 by the National Democratic Convention,
whether the present eminent Chief Magistrate,
or the man who is the choice of my own State,
and of myself, or any other Democrat, 1 shall
be found supporting him with all iny heart, and
with all my energies.
Lamplighter Days Returned.
Since the extraordinary sale of the Lamp
lighter, no book has taken such strong hold of
the public mind, or met with so rapid a sale
as Ernest Linwood, the last contribution to the
world of literature of its accomplished and
gifted authoress, Mrs. Caroline Lee lleutz.—
Twenty thousand copies have been published
in four weeks by Messrs. Jewett & Cos., and
the demand continues without abatement.
Deadly Encounter.
“ A few daj’s ago,” says an English paper,
“ one of the beautiful swans on Gosfield Lake,
Essex, belonging to Samuel Courtauld, Esq.,
was seen floatiug dead. On being drawn to
the shore it was found that it had engaged in
mortal conflict with a monster pike. The pike
had swallowed the head and neck of the swan,
aud being unable to disgorge it both had died,
aud were found thus linked together.”
