COLUMBUS: .Hominy Morning, April 14, 185 G. liAROEIiT CITY CIKCUI.ATION. A Kansas Benefit. The .1 nllieii Minstrels, with the same patri niic. spirit they have uniformly displayed else where, announce a benefit for the .Southern muse in Kansas to-night (Monday, April 11th). Their entertainments tor the occasion will he •unusually attractive and varied. Temperance Hall ought to he filled and crowded until ir -troiig walls expand with patriotism, on such ,a occasion. This popular and public spirited ,• mpany have already contributed nincli to ,id Southern emigration in this way, and ihev offer to our citizens a rare opportunity in raise a handsome sum for the outfit of their npit Kansas detachment. Let the Hall he filled ! ♦ The Great Race at hew Orleans. The contest between Arrow and Minnow, on the Bth instant, drew together a great crowd. Vrinw was the favorite ; but the filly beat him hi two straight heats, in Hie fast time of ->:, 37—three mile heats. There was to be a four-mile race on the I Oil, lor which Lccomtc, Pryor, and Minnow, were nitered, and one of the most exciting coutests i,i the turf ever witnessed, was anticipated. -—*— ■ So great has been the scarcity of sweet po tatoes in .Virginia, for planting, that eleven ohooners loaded with potatoos arrived at Nor folk from N'ortli (’arolina on the 6th and 7th ■ list. We fear that in this section the crop ot the present year will be materially less than the usual product, on account of the scarcity of potatoes for planting. We have heard many inquiries made by planters for seed potatoes, hut we have not yet heard of a single locality ibat hud any to spare, and the report from most sections was that every planter was -hoit. - ♦ - The Next Sugar Crop. Tlie planters of both Louisiana and Texas contitie to make much complaint about tbedc f ruction of the stubble and seed cane, Some of the large planters of Louisiana say that they will not be able to raise more canc this year than will answer for planting their usual quan tity next spring; and we see that (iov. A. Horton, of Texas, a very extensive sugar plan ter, offers to give his cane to any one who, out ■it the proceeds, will make him planting cane for fifty acres. Instead of his usual sugar crop, he has planted 625 acres of corn and 800 in cotton, lie usually plants three hundred in cane. The Mobile Evening News, of the 9th inst., tales that seventy-five emigrants had left that city during the three preceding days, to take passage on the steamer Charles Morgan, which was to leave New Orleans on the 11th inst. tor Nicaragua. She will no doubt take out ■everal hundred men for Walker. This proves that his late difficulties with Costa Rica, and perhaps with Grout Britain anil France, do not deter our people from joining his stand ard, but rather appear to excite and hurry them on. We hope to hear a good report of them hereafter. - • —♦- The suicide of the Honorable rogue, Sad iier, in England, by taking oil of almonds, eems to have brought this agent of death prominently to the notice of those contempla ting feloih ■ se. A well known periodical deal er in New V ork, named Cornelius C. McAuliffe, ■ ommitted suicide on the 4th inst., by a dose •if oil of bitter almonds. He, too, was an En glishman by birth, lie left a letter stating that, the cause of his death was the unworthi uess of a woman whom he loved ; but he neg lected to inform the world how his suicide would make her less unworthy. Spirited Proceedings. Borne of the merchants of the town of Lea venworth, K. TANARUS., having sent agents to Law i ence and Topeka, abolition settlements, to ne gotiate for the trade of those towns, live liun • tred settlers of Leavenworth and Atchison conn iies assembled at Kickapoo City on the 10th nil., and adopted resolutions censuring this bid for Freesoil trade. The following resolu tions were also adopted, which wo copy to show • nir readers the spirit animating the Kansas pioneers: That Kickapoo city has a better and more permanent landing, and is more easy of access tn Osawkee, Lecompton, Tccumsch, and other pro-slavery towns on Kansas River, than any other town on the Missouri River. That the access to Kickapoo for such towns it Lawrence and Topeka is exceedingly diffi cult, and growiug more so every day. That wo expect a large majority of the euii rants from the South to land at our place, and as such we invite them here, and wo ask i share in the trade of the pro-slavery party in Kansas generally. That Maj. J. Buford, of Alabama, and his ■ olony of pro-slaver\ i migrants, aro especially invited to land at thi- place and partake of the hospitalities of our citizens. The Middle Ground Railroad. At a public meeting ill Henry county, hold . lew days ago at McDonough, a resolution as adopted calling a convention of the coun ties, towns and capitalists interested, atUriflin, lor the purpose of tnking some steps towards ihe construction of the Middle Ground Rail i oad This road is to run from this city to Covington on the Georgia Railroad, connecting with the Macon and Western Railroad at Grif tin. The counties through which it is iutended to run are Muscogee, Harris, Meriwether, Spalding, Henry and Newton—all rich and populous sections, and each able to lend a lib eral helping hand to the enterprise. Our city will be very largely benefitted by the road, as it will effect a nearly direct communication between Columbus and the groat producing o-egiou of Northern Georgia anil Tennessee—a region abounding with the very produce need ed to make Columbus a great trading mart. — When shall we have a movement in its favorin our city ? A safer investment could hardly be found, ana, if this road were built, it would necessitate a continuation of the line to a con nection with tiie Main Trunk Uailroad of Sou theia Georgia AW is tW time for action. PARTY VIEWS AND MOVEMENTS. Connecticut Election. —Returns for Rep resentatives from all the towns in the .State, except Hnrtland, (which has three members) give the Democrats OH members and the Fu sionists 127. Fusion majority 28. Os the 21 Senators, 11 Fusionists are elected, not count ing Mr. Cutler who is probably chosen. In cluding Mr. Cutler, the Senate will be com posed ot 12 Fusionists and 0 Democrats. The Democrats give up the State. Mixnii'Ai. Elections. —St. Louis, Mo., Portsmouth, Va., and Cleveland, Ohio, have elected Democratic municipal officers; Alex audriaand Richmond, Va,, and Columbia, >S. have been carried by the Know Nothings ; Ca lais, Me., has chosen a Black Republican Mayor; and in Portland, Me., the “Liberal” ticket has beaten the black Republican by a vote nl 2.11i to I,H>‘J7. SorTii I'utoMXA. —Hon. \V. W. Boyce, Representative in Congress from the Columbia District, (who lias heretofore opposed the pro position to send delegates to the Cincinnati Convention), lias written a letter recommend ing a South Carolina State Convention to nom inate President Pierce for re-election. The Sou Hi Carolinian prefers this plan, but, for the sake of union and conceit, is willing to send delegates to Cincinnati with instructions to support no one but Pierce in the Convention. It says—“ While wc are willing to approve a representation in tho Convention restricted to his nomination, wc would be pleased to aid in any organization that would serve to re-elect the President, who has done his duty efficient ly and nobly, and deserves that we particular ly, who profess conservatism, should adhere to him to the end.” Wisconsin. —A dispatch from Milwaukie, dated April 10th, informs us that the Ameri can State Council of Wisconsin have repudiated the nomination of Mr. Fillmore, and passed resolutions declaring their preference for Mr. Banks. Two hundred Clay and Webster National Whigs have called a meeting in Dos Moines county, lowa, for the purpose of rc-organiziug the party. California. —lt is stated that California has elected a unanimous delegation in favor of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency to the Cin cinnati National Democratic Convention. Com. Stockton. —The Jersey City Sentinel says that Com. Stockton “will shortly be brought before the American people as their candidate for the Presidency, without geo graphical or partisan distinctions.’ The Cause ol’ “Joy in Heaven.” The Augusta Constitutionalist and the South ern Recorder arc engaged in discussing the ques tion whether “there is always joy in Heaven when a hoi/ child is born 1” The Recorder hav ing understood the Constitutionalist to assert that there was, and that the Bible was its au thority for tho statement, challenged it to the proof, and called for chapter and verse; where upon the latter denies having based the state ment upon the Bible, but nevertheless refers to the Jewish prayer, “Blessed art thou, oh Lord our God, that thou bust not created me a woman !” and to the verse in the second chap ter of Luke, “It is written in the law of the Lord, that every male bom shall be called holy to the Lord.” We have not the least disposi tion to interfere in this discussion, but it oc curs to us that if any great Jins was made in Heaven over the birtli of some males wc have seen, they must have “backslidden” awfully by the time they came to bo men. Again— our coteuiporaries say nothing at all about the birth ot girls, or any rejoicing over them in Heaven. Do they wish to convey the impu dent impression that the joy is in the other place when girl children are born ? If we had time, we too would hunt up our Bible and show from it that the girls are all expected to go to Heaven as a matter oj’ course, and there fore there is no great cause for joy over the fact that one rnoro is added to the number; while the number of men arriving there is so few that they always hail with joy even the prospect of a future addition. An article is always appreciated, in any place, in propor tion to its scarcity and novelty; and if any particular place abounds with it, the advent of an additional supply is hardly noticed. Congressional. Washington, April 9. In the Senate to-day Mr. Seward made a speech in favor of the immediate admission of Kansas into the Uuion. In the House, Mr. Shorter, of Alabama, delivered a Southern rights speech. The Senate’s amendment to the Deficiency Bill, appropriating $50,000 for maps and drawings of the route of the Pacific Railroad, was rejected. Washington, April 10. In the Senate to-day a lengthy discussion transpired upon the niotiou to reoousider the vote referring to a committee the memorial of tho Kansas Legislature. The memorial was subsequently withdrawn. Many Senators ex pressed their doubts us to the authority of the Senate to act iu the matter. The House passed a resolution declaring va cant the seat of the Eighth district of Illinois, and Mr. Marshall entitled to a seat as repre sentative of the Ninth district of the same State. Homicide. On the evening of the 28th ult. William Bri ley shot and killed his own brother-in-law, William Stephens, in the neighborhood of Ball Hill, Chattahoocheo county. There was an old grudge between them that led to the fatal catastrophe. Briley is bound over, in the penal sum of SIOOO, to answer, which shows that he was deemed justifiable in the commis sion of the act. The deceased was pursuing him with a loaded gun, at the time. So says a correspondent from Chattahoochee.—Geor gia Citizen. Fruit Crops in this Section. Appearances wore never so promising for bountiful, tree-breaking crops of fruit as they are this year. The spring season opened so late, that the frosts have nowhere that we can learn ot, done any injury, audnouc can now be reasonably apprehended from such a cause.- The failure of our fruit crops for several years in succession, has been a heavy blow upon Cherokee, Ga., and the present hope of an abundance is therefore certainly exhderating. —Rome Com.

From tlic New Orleans True Delta. Our European cotemporaries, in view of the early acquisition of peace, are exercising them selves in theories and fancies as to the wild rage for speculation that they think must in fallibly follow’ a resumption of friendly interna tional intercourse. There is much to justify these ideas on the part of our trails-Atlantic brethren, for notwithstanding the war and the severity of the burdens imposed by its contin ual exactions, the disposition both in England and France was to launch out into new and bold speculations, involving heavy outlays of capital and a dangerous extension of the credit system. Besides, on the Continent of Europe, as well as Spain and Italy, a mania for rail roads, which only awaits a declaration of peace to assume its most violent and ungovernable form, pervades the people, and the moment the French and English governments retire from their operations on tho stock exchange, swarms of adventurers, representing the innumerable schemes that will lie brought forward, will oc cupy their jdaces and create a demand for capital unparalleled in the wildest period of any past generation of rncu. Russia too, admonished by bitter experience of her defective internal communications, may be expected to off er immense inducements to such capitalists as have the enterprise and J ability to undertake and carry out asystem of rail communication within her extended cm pire, drawing more closely together its widely separated parts, and enabling the Czar to suc cor his Southern provinces in a week or ten days from the shores of the Baltic, instead of months, and a fearful loss of life, property ami treasure, as at present. Our own country will also share in the excitement, and a railroad to the l’acilic south, and another northwest to Oregon, wc may reasonably expect to find strenuously urged, the moment a favorable opening to the negotiation of loans is present ed. The British colonies, too, will have their claims. Canada is fast rivaling ourselves in the construction of railroads, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are preparing to follow worthi ly in the race, while Australia, tho most nota ble of the athlete of modern nations, which has already commenced the formation of a fleet, will not be behind iu the career of gigantic in terior development, In the East Indies, an immense line of rail road, passing from one extremity of the British Empire to another, uniting, as it were, the In dus and the Ganges and territories far East and West of those mighty rivers, isin course of con struction, having already three or four hun dred miles of rail open to travel and traffic, thus completing a field lor investment and speculation which our readers cannot fail to perceive must exercise incalculable influence over the movements of capital and the regular commercial operations of the world. In looking forward to the times we are de picting our readers will not be unmindful of the grave political consequences which must follow the increased intercourse of mankind, in the more equal distribution of labor, the greater tendency alike to consumption and production, the generation of more liberal sen timents, and the removal of the senseless moun tain of prejudice which the chicanery of kings and the natural depravity of man have created as barriers to the diffusion of enlightenment, happiness, and goodness among all. Mount Vernon at Present. From tlio Athens Banner. Mr. John A. Washington has been endeavor ing for a number of years to make a goodbai-- gain out of Congress in the sale of Mount Ver non; and it is our private opinion that he is only holding back now with the hope of having something handsome offered him. If the place docs not pass into other hands soon, it will be scarcely worth having. Everything about it is rapidly falling into decay, and there seems to be no disposition on the part of the proprie tor tu keep it iu order. Even the tomb of the Father of llis Country is a disgrace to out people— nothing but a little brick wall sur rounds it, with an iron grating, through which you can get a look at the sarcophagus which contains the sacred dust. Gen. Washington, as in everything noble, was the very embodiment of hospitality. The living representative of his name has none of that blood running in his veins. In 1850, we were one of a party visiting the Mecca of Atne j rica; and while there a storm of thunder ancl 1 rain burst upon us. Wc endeavored to get shelter in the house, but upon applying at the door, we were not permitted to enter. We were informed before going there, that a letter of introduction from some member of Congress j was necessary for admission to the house.” and j accordingly armed mveelf, (as did the rest of i the party) with one of these important docu ! ments; but the inmates did not even give us an opportunity of presenting them. Wc finally | took shelter in n barn, and while there hail I leisure for the reflection Unit the mantle of ! George Washington had fallen upon unworthy shoulders, and that Virginia hospitality bail greatly degenerated since the olden time. In striking contrast stands tin- venerable George Washington Park Custis, the adopted son ot General Washington, and his only re maining executor. The warm hearted old gen tleman seeius never so happy, as when sur rounded by visitors, at bis* ancestral home, “Arlington House,” where he takes great pleasure in showing the many mementoes of his adopted lather, and interesting his hearers with recollections of the great man. Very lew persons have spent any time in Washington City, without enjoying his hospitality. TELEGRAPHIC. Telegraphed for the Daily Sun. From New Orleans. New Orleans. April 11.

Receipts of the wee!: 48,000 bales. — -- The “Varmints” of Texas. Air. J. S. Strother, in a late letter to the Huntsville Advocate, gives the following ac count of some of the rare creatures to he found iu Texas: I will now give you something like a desorip tion of some of the injects, or rather reptiles, with which this section is infested, i will commence with the most poisonous of all, the Centipede, the sting of which is deadly; should one crawl across your arm the flesh would rot off to the bone—sometimes producing death in i a short time to the person stung, who will suf fer the most excruciating pain until he is re lieved. The Centipede is about 8 inches long when full grown and resembles the “Thousand Legs” in shape. Next comes the Tarrantula, a species of insect, reptile, or whatever you may choose to call him ; lie is what we might term half Terrapin and half Spider—more vi cious than both and three times as active as either ; he is near the size of a small ten cup ; his back is covered with course red hair, un der which is an almost impenetrable shell which covers the top of his body, which is supported by long, spindling, double-jointed legs, and were you to see one throw himself back upon his legs for a combat, you would be tempted to knock him like Paddy did the dog, “spachlcss. ‘ His meutli is of enormous size; he lias an eye that indicates his ruling passion, viciousnes- ; his bite is also very poisonous. Snakes arc very numerous; stinging Lizards are in the greatest abundance. 1 can put up with the latter two—but remove me from the disagreeable presence of the first two. Horn ed Frogs are plenty, but they arc inuocent aud harmless. “Mule Rabbits” are the greatest curiosity 1 have yet seen : they are about the size of a “fawn,” and arc so swift that tho fleetest dog is no where ; their ears look like they were near 10 inches long when they first jump tip before you. lam of the opinion that a Centipede, Horned Frog, Tarrantula and a Mule Rabbit placed on “Commercial Row,” would attract more attention, excite more cu riosity than the Menageries of a dozen ‘•Bar mini humbugs.” I must advise those ladies who worship “Epicurus,” and who design moving out to Texas, not to go to Ellis county if they wish to get good milk and butter, as both are rendered unfit for use by the Cows eating of “Onions” which grow iu vast quantities in that county. This comity (Navarro) is free from them. Wonderful Sagacity. Oncol tiie most astonishing instances of the sagacity of the Dog transpired this morning, which ever came to our knowledge. The Mtfasis. Stand©, tobacconists, No. 85Congress street, closed their store last evening, leaving their favorite Ncwtoundlaml dog inside. This morning on opening the store, the floor in the back room was found to be on fire, and the clog was laboring with his fore feet and mouth try ing to subdue it. A pail of water which stood in the room had been poured down the hole.— lbo faithful animal liiid so successfully com b.ittcd the tire as to prevent its spreading be yond a spot two or three feet square. How long the noble fellow had stood sentinel and lought down the advancing flames can only be conjectured—it must have been several hours, llis tect, legs and mouth were badly burned, and it is leaped that he is seriously injured in ternally by inhaling the hot air. lie refuses food, and is apparently in much pain. We trust the sagacious and faithful creature is not dangerously injured. This is the same dog which discovered the man Lalfy on the icc a few weeks since. lie is worth his weight in gold, and may safely be pronounced the noblest, of his race. —Troy Daily Times, April 8. Bad Day lor Collecting. The proprietor of a well known hotel iu this place, having a bank note falling due on the Ist of April, and having failed to collect money from other resources, as a last resort made out the bills or’ his several boarders and presented them respectively as they emerged from the breakfast table. The first one was in the act of handing over the amount of his bill when lie accidentally overheard an urchin in the street shouting “ April fool.” He quietly restored the 20 to his vest pocket and went his wav. Ihe “first ot April” seemed simultaneously and spontaneously to occur to tiie minds cf all the boarders, who treated the landlord as un ceremoniously as did the first, regardless of his entreaties, tolling him that they couldn’t be taken in by any such trick—they were too j old for that. The last we saw of “the worthy host, he was restoring the bills to his desk, his physiognomy presenting a picture of despair. ” c ne ' e1 ’ learned whether liis note was pro tested or not, but one thing is certain, he did not collect any money on the first day of April. ’ —Rome Southerner. ■ —*- Whale Story. The Columbus Sun is informed that the Times is not responsible for tho letter of Jonah to his I father. It is one of thoso paragraphs which I pass aiound without credit, ho one dosirincits | paternity. The Times had a good laugh over the “Shark and Sailor,” before publishing it, and passed the joke round—the agreement be tween the watch and clock told the story.— Wby not charge the Times with crcditimr the account of the lifer boy who was swallowed by a shark, and when the fish was caught and opened, was found comfortably seated between the shark s ribs playing the fife? The Sun is too bright this time.— Columbia Times. Expected Flood in the Mississippi. K. W. Anderson, “an old Mississippi boat man, writes to the New Orleans papers ex- i pressing the belief that tkisseasen will witness ! a terrible Hood in the river. He suggests to those living along the water to have rafts built and read) to be used at a moment's warning. | l o advises the citizens of New Orleans to pm e mse a tract of land half a mile wide or more, extending from the head of the Mctairc Ridge to the Mississippi river; there construct a i water proof levee, to conduct the redundant , water from the Mississippi east of that ridge and a high substantial levee from its terminus | on the river, thence along said river to tiie low er part of the city. English and French Interference in Cen tral America. A Washington despatch says:—J understand that the English and French Ministers declare that troops will be landed from their respect ive squadrons off Central America, to aid Cos ta Rica against General ffaljnu.
