I.AE6EBT CITY CIRCULATION.
We do lielieve thut old Winter ih mastered
..i last. After a contest unparalleled in the
memory of the “oldest inhabitant,” he lias
liccn forced to abdicate his reign in these parts
and “make track'” for a trans-equatorial le
sion—for, in spite of common figures of speech,
he fins fled to the southern and not to the
northern hemisphere. For several days we
have bad weather warm enough for even the
most delicnte or rheumatic systems; and
“Sam,” two doors above us, reports a lively
demand for an article we were all anathema
lining n few weeks ugo. We thought nt the
time that the prevalent antipathy could not
last long, and now the realization of this idea
is quite transput•rut. “Tempo)a mutant nr, it
no* rum Mot.” Man is as changeable in his
tastes as the seasons , and therefore lie should
accommodate himself to the mutations of the
latter with true philosophy. We wish the
Chilians and Patagonians joy of the inhospita
ble old tyrant whom we consign to them for a
eason, and trust that they may bo able to im
prove his manners and moderate his intensity
iieforo they in turn give him his “walking pa
pers,” for wo know very well toward- what,
quarter he will then direct Ids footstep:

The Buinbridge Argus (a now and spirited
paper, which ably advocates the interests of
Southern (ieorgia) says tlmt the Town l.'oim
eil of Ilainhridgc intend to submit to a vote of
i tie citizens the question of subscribing I 00,-
<IOO of stock in the Atlantic ami Gulf Railroad,
“conditionally.” Wc presume the condition
i that the road shull run to or through their

iary that the location of the road will be de
rided by a vote of the stockholders, and qoii
tiouii! subscriptions could hardly be allowed a
vote.
The Crops.
The (’usavillo Standard reports that notwith
standing the extreme coldness of the past win
ter, the growing wheat lias not suffered the
damages which have attended milder winters.
It is, however, unusually backward, and far
mers throughout Cherokee Georgia are appre
hensive that the rust will injure it,. The same
paper says that the planters of that region are
now (10th inst.) busily engaged in planting
• orn, and that, but little progress has yet. been
made towards planting cotton.
The editor of the llainbridgo Argus says that
•mee the late frosts and cold weather he lias
passed through the counties of Leo, Dougher
ty, Calhoun, Early, Miller, and a portion of
Decatur, and is able to report tlmt the crops
have not been injured by the lute cold weath
er, but are growing finely. The fruit blooms,
too, have escaped injury.
Kansas—Movements of the Enemy.
While the South is entering with spirit into
the contest which, is to decide the future polit
ical late of Kansas—which is to keep open the
Territory, and the State when formed, to set
tlement by Americans from every section, or
to terminate in the exclusion of the people of
our own section from its fertile plains—it is
well enough to keep at the same time an eye
itpon the enemy and note the extent and na
ture ot his operations to thwart us. The
North is not idle or indifferent at this time—
tar from it; men are hurrying on to grasp the
oharpo’a ritles which fanatical hypocrites so
liberally supply. The “ Aid Societies” wero
never so active or zealous as at present. A
company from Springfield, Massachusetts,
passed through Albany the other day; they
numbered only twenty, but a much larger
number are getting ready to follow them, and
the ‘‘Society’ at that place had resolved to
end on detachments weekly. At New’ Haven,
Connecticut, forty persons were ready to start
s ‘ soon as the election of Tuesday last was
‘•ver, and it was computed that that city would
cud on three hundred in all. A company of
one hundred men started from Exeter, New
Hampshire, on the first of April; they had al
ready selected a fine location near Topeka.—
No doubt many other companies, of whom wc
have no definite information, have already
s'one forward.
These movements show that the South is
not too hasty in going into the contest, and
that site must persevere with the same energy
and determination with which she has entered
into the struggle, or Kansas will yet be lost to
her.
We think it quite probable that, notwith
standing the numbers sent forward already by
the South, the North is numerically even with
her in this year’s operations. Hut there is one
material difference in the character of the emi
grants from the two sections, which brightens
uiir prospect for the future. Most of the
Southern emigrants are “solid'’ and respect
‘ble men, or young men who leave behind
them connections of ii iluenec and patriotism ;
while the Northern colonists are chiefly vaga
bonds for whom individually nobody cares,
and who are merely used as passive political
instruments. ft is therefore evident that in
case of any collision or serious difficulty be
tween them, there will he found to exist
throughout the South a feeling of personal
concern and sympathy forourcmigrantswhich
will urge thousands to rush at once to their
lide, while no such considerations will oper
•ite at the North—for the Frecsoilcrs care no
more (personally) for their colonists than the'’
do for the dogs that are slaughtered iu sum
mer in the streets of New York.
The noted racer Arrow and Mr. Keuucr’s
b f. Minnow were to run a three-mile race
over the Matarie Course, near New Orleans,
on the Bth inst., and a spirited contest was ex
pected Arrow, in all his races, and especial
ly in that in which he beat Leeomte, has prov
ed himself to be one of the gamest horses in
this country. Minnow is only a three-year
old, but she has run a number of races and
has never been beaten. She has twice beaten
Pryor, the horse that vanquished Leeomte the
other day in a four-mile race. Large bets
were made on the race in New Orleans, and
very fast time was predicted
The Jullien Minstrels,
Last night, drew a very full house, and kept
the audience delighted and surprised. Every
part of the performance was excellent and well
received. The bill for to-night presents a rich
treat to the lovers of fun. Go nil. and you
will get your full money’s worth.
More Arms Captured!
A correspondent of the .Syracuse Journal
(Freesoil sheet; writes that five hundred rifles
and six cannon have been seized by the Mis
sourians at Lexington, and lie adds that “the
captured arms were well disguised.” Very
true —if they were those purchased by Beecher
and Silliinan, they were “disguised” under the
cloak of religion ; if sent by a Freesoil associ
ation, they were instruments of treason and
civil strife “disguised” in the garb of patriot
ism. It is a great shame Unit the purchasers
of these arms cannot he “disguised” in hang
man's cap- and allowed a free swing for free
dom.

The Ncwnan Blade, speaking of the Atlanta
Examiner’s article about the La Grange folk
sending a bottle of vermifuge to Newnan, says:
“The Examiner, when discoursing upon the
subject of “All-fools’ Day,” seems to have a
holy horror of auythingliko Jokes, but such
things become “a mere freak of a parcel of
young folk anxious for fun” when perpetrated
upon other people. It, looks to us like “strain
ing at a knnt ami swallowing a camel.”
Your point touched him in a vulnerable
place there, Mr. Blade. But wc wish to whis
per in your ear, in a tone so low that the pub
lisher of the Examiner (who is a book •worm)
can’t hear us, that there is no sort of necessity

Ousting a Governor.
Wc have noticed from time to time the ori
gin and progress of the difficulty about the
disputed Gubernatorial chair of Wisconsin,
until its settlement by the surrender of the oth
er parties to llashford, the Black Republican
candidate. After Barstow had abandoned his
pretensions and withdrawn, the Lieutenant
Governor under him, McArthur, took posses
sion and held out against llashford for a short
time—it being reported, in the meantime, that
the latter was organizing a force to place him
in the oilice by violence if necessary. The fi
nal scene in the drama is thus reported :
The Governor (Bashford). —Well, Mr. Mc-
Arthur, (taking off his overcoat and hanging
it over a chair), l have come to take posses
sion of these Executive apartments, and de
mand of you the papers belonging thereto, the
keys of the safes, desks, &c., together with all
which pertains to the Executive chamber.
Mr. McA.—(After a pause). Well, Mr.
Bashford—or Governor, (smiliug and bowing
to Bashford), 1 have to say simply this, that 1
hold the office of Governor of the State, under
the Constitution, and denying as 1 do, the con
stitutional rights of the Supreme Court to ex
ercise jurisdiction over the case which they
have just decided in favor of yourself, I must
decline to vacate these rooms.
Mr. McArthur to Governor Bashford—Do
you intend, Mr. Bashford, to put me out by
force if I refuse lo leave ? Let us understand
each other aright.
The Governor—l do not wish to say as much,
Mr. McArthur, but—
Mr. McA. (interrupting).—We are now oc
cupying antagonistic relations, simply upon a
political question, and I shall not treat it as a
personal affront, sir, for you to answer mo in
the affirmative, it such is your determination.
If itisyour intention to use force iu ejecting me,
and will so say, I will consider it constructive
force, and yield.
Mr. Hunter, (Private Secretary).— Come,
Mr. Bashford, out with it. sav what you mean,
net. like a man !
The Governor—Then, Mr. McArthur, I mil
say, that should you refuse to give up posses
sion of these rooms, peaceably, 1 shall feci it
my duty to use what torcc would bp necessary’
to eject you.
Mr. McArthur—That is sufficient, sir, l con

Wo copy the above from the Columbus Sun,
for the following reasons: Ist. Because the

Henry L. Lestarjette, then, and for several
years afterwards kept the Bell Tavern, now
the Coweta House, which all our oldest citi
zens will remember. 2d. Because she is a
good scholar and a fine writer, as the above
lines amply testify. 3d. Because sl.o is our
niece, (our sister's daughter,) born iu Wash

name was Catherine Simms— and afterwards
married Dr. Lestarjette, of Charleston, South

because they were well timed, being published

Ncwnan vs. LaGrange— A Practical Joke.
From (li A!hui<:t, Examiner.
It is known to most of our readers that, du
ring the recent excitement occasioned by the
reported prevalence of Small Pox in LaGrange,
the town authorities of Newnan passed some
stringent regulations in the premises and clos
ed their port against any persons hailing from
the infested city, requiring their Marshal to
arrest and confine in the Calaboose any such
person or persons as should have the temerity
to violate the regulation. The tone and strin
gency of these precautionary measures gave
offence to \ oung America in LaGrange, who,
to testify their anxiety for the personal health
of the “city fathers” of Newnan, purchased a
package or two of “ Vermifuge ” and forwarded
it to them, with appropriate prescription.—
Whereupon our Ncw nan friends, through the
press of that place, reflect with considerable
severity upon the good people of LaGrange,
generally, and the physicians of the place par
ticularly ; and so they make it, criminating
and recriminating in style that would be amus
ing, were it not that we regret to see so much
bitterness between those who should be friends.
It is not our intention to participate in the
quarrel; on the contrary wc believe if the mat
ter had never been given the importance of
newspaper notice, it would have been allowed
to pass as a mere freak of a parcel ol‘young folks
anxious for fun; but we cannot agree with our
Newnan cotemporary in his strictures upon
the Physicians of LaGrange. We have the
pleasure of a personal acquaintance with l)r.
Ridley, the physician in attendance upon the
supposed cases of small pox, and can readily
perceive from his statement of the attending
circumstances, how he fell into an erroneous
diagnosis of them. Botli the cases had been
in the vicinity of small pox, one indeed in the
Hotel with it, and neither had any knowledge
of contact with Measles, which being the case,
and the symptoms of the diseases, in their ear
ly stages being similar, it was but natural that
Dr. R. and his colleagues should pronounce
them cases of small pox; and the perhaps
greater familiarity of Dr. Wadlawwith the dis
ease, which induced them to send for him, is
no argument against their capacity, but is
rather commendable, sinee their anxiety for
the safety of their fellow citizens induced them
to throw aside everything like false pride, and
take into council a physician whose acquain
tance and experience with this unusual dis
ease was perhaps greater than their own.
Doath of Young Haimmond.
Our readers will remember the horrible
death of Amos W. Hammond, Jr., who was
found on the morning of Christmas last affixed
to the cow catcher of the passenger engine of
the Macon & Western Railroad. We stated in
our notice of the affair that suspicions were
afloat that the young man had been foully
dealt, with. Nothing, however, definite at that
time could be proven, and the matter lias re
mained to the present a mystery to those who
believed otherwise than that his death was the
result of an accident. At length, however,
after the lapse of throe months, the question
of young Hammond’s death baa been revived.
We learn that a woman by the name of Taylor
appeared before the Grand Jury on Tuesday,
and charged two men, by the name of Taylor
aud Harrison, and a woman, by the name of
Davis, with the murder of Hammond. We
have not learned the nature of her testimony :
it was sufficient, however, to induce thoGraml
•fury to find true bills against all the parties.
The Woman, Davis, has been arrested ; Taylor
succeeded in escaping, after being shot at by
the Sheriff'. Harrison, we learn, is in iail at
Chattanooga.
The entire matter will soon undergo the in
vestigation of a regular trial, when we will in
forui our readers of the result.— Atlanta Intel

Extract j rout a Wash ington Correspondent.
Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, alluded to the rup
ture between himself and Mr. Clayton, yester
day. He regretted the occurrence, as it arose
from a misapprehension on his part. If the
Senator from Delaware shall say he did not
mean to be personally offensive in his remarks
relative to Lieut. Maury, he was prepared to
make the amende honorable.
A voice—“ That’s right”—and general good
humor prevailed.
Mr. Bell wished it understood, however,
that without such disclaimer it was no bar
gain.
A Noiee—“That’s fair !”
Mr. Clayton replied that be had no doubt
but the Senate, with himself, regretted the
disgraceful occurrence, especially as it had its
origin in a misapprehension. He confessed
that lie felt warm on that occasion, and was
sorry for the exhibition. He could not bear
malice after the frank and manly explanation
of the Senator from Tennessee. He was glad
to renew a friendship existing for more than
twenty years. He tendered him his hand with
all his heart.
All present were pleased with the adjust
ment of personal differences.
Is the Prince of Algiers Heir to the Freneh
Empire ?
This is a question started by the New York
Post, W'liieh states that the three most consid
erable of the continental powers of Europe, ex
clusive of France, some time since settled that
question for themselves. They determined,
four years ago, that no male descendant of
Louis Napoleon should be regarded as the heir
apparent ot hiscrowu. The empire, according
to this arrangement, was to be Louis Napole
on s lor life; when he died, Russia, Austria
and Prussia pledged their word to each other
“to restore the legitimate heir of the throne,”
and to recognise no other. The Post, howev
er, is of opinion that Louis Napoleon will un
doubtedly exert himself to have these pledges
cancelled, now that peace is about to be pro
claimed.
-
The Waters of the Mediterranean.
The phenomenon of so many waters con
stantly flowing into the Me riterranean sea,
and yet never perceptibly raising its level, is
one ot the most remarkable in nature. AVe
have recently seen the following explanation
of this phenomenon, which, if not wholly sat
isfactory, is at least ingenious aud plausible.
The salt water entering the sea from the At
lantic Ocean, is subjected to a process of evap
oration, which, although by no means suffi
ciently extensive to carry off the surplus quan
tity, is yet powerful enough to remove a large
part of its fresher particles, leaving, by the
time the water arrives near the head of the
sea, a brine, which, being heavier than the wa
ter that is constantly pouring in from the
ocean, sinks beneath it, and flows out in an
under current by the same route iu which it
entered. Ia us while there is a strong surface
current always setting to the Eastward through
the Straits of Gibraltar, there is, beneath the
surface current, near the bottom of the Straits,
an equally strong under current of very salt
water pouring forth to mingle again with the
waters ol the Atlantic. The existence of this
under current was discovered many years ago.
An Interesting Story.
‘■Shun, mine Shon,” said a worthy German
lather to his heir often years, whom he had
overheard using profane language. “Shon,

Count Or loir’s Opinion of Napoleon.
The Paris correspondence of tlio Indepen
dence Beige pretends that the following are
the exact terms in which tho Russian plenipo
tentiary, Count Orlofl, lately expressed his
opinion ot the character of the Emperor Na
poleon :
“ The groutost grief (chagrin) of my life,”
saul the Count, “now that I know the Empe
ror Napoleon, is that my late master, the Em
peror Nicholas, did not know him too. If he
could have seen him for but half an hour, not
only would there have been no war, but the
best relations would have been established be
tween the two countries. The Emperor Napo
leon had precisely those traits of character that
would have exercised a great influence over
the Emperor Nicholas.”
