Ihe departure of two numerous expeditions irom New Orleans and New York, last week, to join lien. Walkers army in Nicaragua, un mistakably indicates flic current sympathy of the people of the United States. We arc in formed by the New Orlean papers, that the lecruits by the Charles Morgan were not mere idle stragglers or reckless adventurers, l;ut voung men of character and energy, who go ..it with a firm determination to work out their fortunes in Central America. These men rep re ent truly the popular judgment of thiscoun try. which holds the new Government of Ni ■ rrtguain higher estimation than that tissign to it by the repulsive conduct of the nations v ith which it lias vainly attempted to estab lish peaceful relations. Our people do not un derstand the argument by which all the prcce ent revolutionary governments of tho Central American States have been decided to be “le itimate” and worthy of recognition, and Iti <alone denounced as illegitimate and un worthy because ho happened to bo aided by • une of our own citizens in establishing his rlaims to the Presidency. They do not com prehend tho nice official distinction which has heretofore readily accorded relations of amity and correspondence to the thousand and ono evolutionary leaders who have from time to iine u surped power in Mexico and the Central nd South American States, but which shrinks with horror snd disgust from the proffered uiendly hand of the now President of Nicara gua, because in his cabinet and at the head of ttia forces in the field North Americans exor isc authority and influence. Neither does the repugnance of our Government to that of Ni caragua dampen the ardor or abate the inter est of our people in behalf of efforts to spread our institutions throughput the New World. — That Walker’s enterprise, if permanently suc cessful, must redeem Nicaraguaand other Cen tral American States from their condition of Kuni-barbarisni and almost brutish indolence md ignorance, is too palpable to be doubted ven by his bitterest enemies. The common interests of humanity unite with those of the people of tho country iu demanding that this great, change for the better should be cousum mtod and firmly established. The day hae never been, when a besotted, ignorant and infe rior race could maintain rank among the na tions of the earth and shut out. from the pale of civilization a territory which, under the do . eloping genius of intelligence and energy and the benign influences of peace and commerce, could be made to act an important part in the world’s great drama of busy life and human progress. Cither they must themselves emerge from the state of barbarism, indolence and in testine commotion, which unfits them for tho proper performance of their duties to the hu man family, or a stronger and more civilized mce will stop into teach them the proper use of their “talents” and capacities. Thus it has ver been, is now, and must always be with nations; and the Colossus of the Western World can hardly look with longer indifference upon the sanguinary broils and interminable •oniraotions which threaten to retard forever, without tho intervention of our people, the civilization and progress of the petty states of i lie American continents. The failure of our Government through Us officials to arrest these expeditions indicates, we think, a relaxation of its former watchfulness r zeal. Whether this change of policy is the result ofa conviction that its former course vas carrying the obligation of neutrality to .a logree unjust to our own citizens, or whether it indicates mitigated opposition to the new Government of Nicaragua, it is a gratifying • videnco of tin fact t’ * tho spirit of our peo ple i fill rise superior international etiquette or old fogy diplomacy. when the fate of their countrymen or the cause of true civilization ,nd progress is iuvolved. Assured that similar expeditions in aid of ..nr countrymen in Nicaragua will follow each other in rapid succession, we await the issue of tho eontliet in that quarter with interest aud confidence. The Kansas Freesoil Memorial, tin the 10th inst., Gen. Gass presented to the Senate of the United States a memorial from the Freesoilcrs of Kansas, asking admission into the Union as a State under their bogus constitution, it was at once referred to the Committee on Territories; but on considera tion, and it being alleged that the signatures to the constitution were not written by the pretended signers, but were transcripts (so tent, po doubt, to prevent the use of the iu trument in an indictment against the parties), t reconsideration of the reference was moved and carried by a vote of 32 yeas to 0 nays, aud Vlr. Cass was allowed to withdraw thetreason ihlo manuscripts aud return them to Lane, irotn whom he obtained them. The three Sen ators voting against the reconsideration were Harlan, of Indiana, Sewnrd. of New York, and dtupner of Massachusetts More Kansas Emigrants. The steamer Justice whs to have lett Flor ence, Ai i. (on the Tennessee river), yesterday, for Knii“a-. Mr. Win. V. Lucan, of Franklin county, was organizing a company ol Kansas emigrants, whom he would carry out tree ol expense mi this boat; mid tho Unptain ol the boat advertised in the North Alabama papers that be would take out two hundred men at s2.'* apiece, and land them at either Leuven worth nr Leconiptmi. Wc trust that this ex pedition will be as iiirgc as Maj. liufoid'i, and wc are sure that the North Alabama boys will never be found wanting in any emergency that requires energy and courage. The Smith appears at last to have aroused to the importance of securing Kansas —of dri ving buck that stream of Frcesoil aggression which, hit unchecked, would exclude Mouth era men and their property from every new Territory. The issue of this: contest for Kan sas involves a great principle and its future application. If the .South is beaten in this conflict, he cannot enter with heart and spir it into any luture struggle with Northern fa naticism ; but let her now succeed in beating back Hie aggressor and establishing the con blitutionai principle which was designed to protect her from his raids, and hereafter there will be no more “provisos ’ or restrictive “compromises” to furnish an apology for ex excluditi,". any class of men or any species of property fnmi n foot of the national domain. llow is This l • there only a tri,-weekly mail between Charleston and Augusta or Itow does it hap pen that we only get our exchanges every other day from Charleston V For eight or ten days past, we have received them generally (if not regularly) in this way: and as we much prize these exchanges, their irregularity i r a source of vexation and annoyance to ns. Wm. 11. Garland, tho defaulting New Or leans Treasurer, has been decreed bail in the sum of $40,000 —about one-sixth the amount he has stolen. Os course he is abundantly able to give the bail, and yctmake a handsome profit by his operations. A dispatch from Louisville, Ky., dated 14th inst., reports the town of Bardstowu to be in flames, with the prospect of an extensive con flagration. Bardstown is in Kentucky, south of Louisville, and is quite a manufacturing town for its size. The following are the latest New 7 V’ork quo tations for Land Warrants: Buying.

We are receiving further accounts of great destruction by tho tornado which we reported yesterday as having occurred on the 12th inst. at Philadelphia. In addition to the injury to property there reported, a later dispatch states that two trains of loaded freight cars (suppos ed to be in the neighborhood of Ph ladelpliia) were blown from the railroad track ! A lady at AYest Chester was killed by a shutter torn from its fastenings and thrown against her by the wind. At Cleveland, Ohio, fifteen houses were demolished, ono man was killed, and much other damage was done. We shall pro bably receive still further disastrous accounts of this extensive tornado. The Captain of the schoonov Maryland, which was detained at Norfolk because ol’ her attempt to leave the port without submitting to the new law instituting search for con cealed slaves, paid the fine of !SoOO on the lltli, aud the vessel was to sail on the 12thfor New York. Further by the Cambria. The steamship America arrived at Liver pool on the 2tith and the Baltic on the 28th of March. The deliberations in the Conference at Paris, on the 27th, were said to have been of a very important character, and it was confidently believed that the treaty of peace had been signed. On the 24th it wasannouuced by the Emperor Napoleon that he expected the final settlement to be completed sooner than the 27th, and lie had ordered suitable demonstrations for the occasion. There was a grand Te Deum ordered to cele brate the birth of the Prince of Algiers. Prussia's claims were earnestly resist ed by Lord Clarendon, which caused consid erable delay. The views of Clarendon, how ever, prevailed, and his policy so arranged that the Allies were to sign one Protocol, and a second Protocol should be drawn up and sign ed by the Allies and Prussia jointly. Che London Times dislikes the demonstra tions in favor of peace, and intimates that the people ol England will be discontented with I lie terms arranged at Paris. ‘I lie armistice between the contending pow ers has not been positively prolonged, but tele graphic dispatches have been forwarded to the Crimea not to renew hostilities without express orders to that effect. The cotton market was reported quiet, but prices were unchanged. Sales of the five days (Monday was the day after Easter, and a par tial holiday), 42,000 bales; of which exporters took 4,500, and speculators 7,200 bales.

McGary, the individual charged with having swindled one Mr. Thrasher, a Georgian, out of $4lO, by practising the •‘ballgame,” was yes terday morning brought before .J ustioes Car roll and Bugbee, for a final hearing on his pri mary examination. Thrasher’s oath was posi tive as to the identity of the prisoner on the previous examination, hut ono Dr. Burke, of New Orleans, is quite as positive that McG. wus, at the time when the otlence is said to have been committed, (March 11th,'of this year,) aud fora long time both anterior and subsequent to that date, under his medical charge in New Orleans. McGary was ordered to be recommitted. Hon. Judge Goldthwa tc, defendant's couu sel, thereupon applied for a habeas corpus to be argued before Hon. Judge Shorter, of the Cir cuit Court, at Tuk epee —Montgomery Ad\\ i'c.i’ I lie Dally Sun. Offensive City Ordinance*. ("oLi'Mut/s, April 12. 18*ui. •■ls thou lias a truth to utter, Speak ! and leave the rest with God I Kill rmi Jiaji.v Sr.s : —A Ur: That our ( tty Council lms been oppressive no collator ot tacts cun deny. Onr citizens, for the benetit ot home enpitulistsand distant corporations, have quietly submitted to and promptly paid enor mous taxes. They have allowed the beuutitu common of the city to become depots for the Bailroads, instead of walking and pleasure ground for their exliilei’ation. They have al lowed the silly whim of persons to bo satisfied by having nil the shade mid native growth trees on the banks of our own beautiful river to be removed, and immense washes with their yawning mouths to cat far into the streets and commons. All legislation seems intent on stripping the city of all its pristine beauties, and its citizens of homo allurements, which make n city a constant home for its denizens. All this has been done, and no successful move has ever been made to have a City Park for the common welfare of our people. And as our Council has taken the moral training and, we may almost say, the religious Care of our people into charge, we have a jast.right to enquire why our physical wants have been neglected. AVe do dissent in into from having our city fathers copying with most singularpreciscuess the blue laws and hypocritical code adopted by that part of the world indelibly branded “yankedom.” 1 tell you, Mr. Editor, the people do not chose officers to become persecutors, and these favored few should bear iu mind that whilst in their official dignity and high place, “A ?ratli cun unmake them as a brenth hu* made!” Now, let me enumerate a few instances out of a myriad how unequally the city ordinances operate on the governed: The person who is so situated by fortune as to live without labor can have his own barber and throw himself back in his luxurious chair and enjoy that luxury of a good shave or shampoo, whilst the poor laborer, who has to toil from morning’s light to candle-light for his bread, has to eschew his privilege to be shaved by a barber on a Sabbath morning. Those who delight in the use of a good cigar, and the proper use of which none can oppose, have no feelings of regard for those officials who forbid them purchasing a good Havana when they desire to do so. Now we all know that when people were far better in the way of health and wisdom and length of years—in the days of our grand f'athers-and mothers— the pipe sent up snow-white curls of smoke before they partook of their meals, and as wc might say before family prayer ; and this too on the Sabbath as well as the rest ol’ the week. But in our city nothing has to be sold in the way of cigars, poor devils will have to betak* themselves to the pipe (whose offensiveness nearly equals certain city ordinances) in place of the fragrant cigar. In truth, the loss of a good cigar, even on the Sabbath, is more se verely felt bj r the would-be consumer than they who deal them out for pay. AVe can view it in no other light than it is the disposition of the Council to intermeddle uselessly with the domestic rights and pleasures of the citizen, and then we oppose it because the law has a very “small potato” look about it. Such daws only exhibit a narrowness of mind unsuited to aldermanic station. AVe do trust that, for the common sense, the authors of it will repeal it, and “go and sin no move.” AA'e now come to the bar-rooms. They pay a license of large amount to the city. They are needful things, for men will drink ; and instead of the jug being a part of the delf at home, let the tapster deal it out. AVe are op posed to drunkenness, every day. Why give licenses to retail, if they are the objects of aversion ? AVhy take the retailers’ money and pay it out for interest on railroad stock, which is afterwards sold at a loss to the city ? AVhy not close the drug-stores which sell on the Sab bath ? But we do wish to see justice equally me ted out to all men. AVe are opposed to any persons seeking the support of liquor dealers and imbibers when they endeavor to suppress a traffic not repugnant to our State Constitution, though it may be to those who desire to make a show of sanctimonious regard for their fel low beings. Let all such follow the illustrious Father Mathew, who endeavored to do good only by example and persuasion, not like Beech er temperance men, by force. Henry AVard Beecher was once the great Light of Prohibi tion, but now the donor of Sharpe’s rifles to abolitionists. Heaven guard us from his like. We could say more, but we do say the Coun cil has had no business to legislate on these matters now. even if at nil’ until all houses of ill-fame had been driven from the city; the city wharves well repaired ; tho city well sup plied with good water; fewer subscriptions made to corporations for the ultimate benetit of private individuals; our court house square beautified as it should be; and a true and con sistent working aim to make our city not the constant prey of fortune-seekers, but a happy home for its people. A Citizen. ♦ —* Gen. G. AV. Evans was, on Monday last, re elected Mayor of Augusta, without opposition. The Know Nothings elected ten members of tho Council, and the Antics tw>>: in mie ward there was a tie. A Letter from Barcum. l’liineus T. Barnurn, Esq., lute showman, has written a letter of thanks to tho I’rovi j deuce, It. 1., Journal, in consideration of a kind editorial about him, which was published in ! that paper. In concluding his letter lie phi i losophically remarks : “ My humbugs were gotten up more for the fun of the thing than anything else. 1 always | strove to make my patrons feel that they got | their money’s worth, and, if they thought they did, they did,for “us a man thinketh so lie is. I loved to make money but not better than 1 loved to spend it. I gave *20,000 per i annum in charity for the last ten years, uud, 1 if 1 had not been a jackets, impulsive and cou | tiding, 1 should not have been ruined. 1 Lave paid and secured all my personal debts, offered I thoclock creditors SIOO,OOO to erase my name from all the Jerome paper, but they have prov | cd bigger asses than 1 was, for they by rel'us -1 ing it, locked up my property, forced me to immense sacrifice in order to pay my private i debts, and thus they get nothing from my es tate, aud 1 lose all. ) “ 1 have no ambition to “try again,” for what is the use, when *400,000 are hauging i over my head I can always earn my living, and shall try for nothing more. It is hard at my time of life to lose all, but I trust I can - muster sufficient philosophy to enable me to bear up under it.” • ♦ - Madame de Oodisco, the lady of the late Russiau Minister, has advertised her furniture to be sold at auction, and intends leaving for Europe. It is now sixteen years since, (when a school girl at Georgetown i, she attracted the notice ot the late Baron, and was given him in marriage by Ileury Clay. Her two oldest children, sons, are now in Russia receiving a thorough education, and serving the Emperor as “Page® of the Household.” The Chinese Potato. A new esculent, knowit ns the •• lgnama,” ir Chit esc Potato, lias been introduced into France, which by some writers is regarded as more nutritious than the potato now in use.— It has long foriueu an important article of iood among the people oi China and Japan, and the satisfactory experiments which scientific men have instituted in France to test its properties, induce us to believe that it is well deserving of extensive cultivation. According to the Philadelphia North American, the French ex perimentalists speak of it with enthusiasm.— M. Dte'iisne, who has charge of the depart ment’*'''? Cultivation in the Museum of Natural History, .-ays : “ Tit.: t no plant which it has been attempted to substitute for the potato, for several years past, can be compared with tiie ignama. It lias been domesticated in China from time im memorial. Its root is large and rich in nutri tive matter. It may be eaten without cooking as a fruit. < Iritinny cooked without any trou ble, both by boiling and roasting. It is, iu plain words, bread for the eater, with as full a title as the common potato. VVe have, he adds, the firm conviction that the Chinese po tato wild just us the common potato did, in creasc the wealth of many and diminish tlic misery and suffering of more, and that this useful t xotic will lot meet with the same ob stacles and repugnance to its adoption which were experienced for more than two centuries by the common potato. “ Experiments instituted by M. Eroiny, chemical professor at the Museum, lead to the belief r iat this root may also be employed iu making bread. It can be reduced to a fine paste, similar to that made of wheat flour.— The taste of the tubcrcules, boiled or roasted, is that vs the first qualify of potatoes; and its cooking takes about half the time. Another advanUge it possesses, is that it can be kept, without lisle, from one year to another, and even longer, without sprouting, and without danger from the heat or cold. It is said to be of very easy culture, and to be exceedingly productive—about double as great as the po tato. It has succeeded well both in France and Algiers, so that there is no difficulty to be anticipated ns to its acclimation in onv coun try.” Tho “Prairie Chief.” fke hhicramento (California) Journal gives an interesting account of a noted wild horse which has recently been captured iu that vi cinity. ‘i lie animal was know nas the “Prai rie Chief,” or wild horse of Yolo, and is con sidered the best native trotter in the State, and the most enduring animal perhaps in any country. He had baffled for years the repeat ed attempts to capture him, although every method that ingenuity could devise and man execute was tried years ago. More than forty horsemen, mounted on the very flower of the ranches, pursued him time again, often run ning him from sun to sun, and occasionally hunting him on the second day, when he prov ed as fresh as on the lirst; and never, until at last captured, even when hottest pursued, was seen t> break into a gallop. Trotting, be could run around most horses galloping. Once he was decoyed by means of other horses into a corral, but on perceiving the snare he at once bounded clear by several feet the bristling posts of the corral, A reward of $1,500 was once offered for him, and he was, after several attempts, driven into a narrow pass and las soed, but he snapped the lasso in an instant and escaped. The last organized attempt to secure him, howev or, succeeded, and the noble animal was robbed of tbe freedom lie had so long and gal lantly contended for. A party of thirty per sons, well mounted, assembled at the place where he was known to be grazing, which was along a range of hills on the west bank of the Sacramento. A few of them, in the morning, drove him to the mountains, when he was com pelled to turn back upon the plains, where the rest of the party, scattered in squads for a distance of thirty miles along the country, dashed at him by turns, and thus run him at his lull speed back and forth to the mountains, and up and down the plains, until he was com pletely jaded and worn, and at dark they were enabled to lasso and capture him. Thus did this wonderful horse run (or trot rather) the entire day without amoment’s breathing time. At the close, when closely pursued, he broke into a gallop. It is estimated by those who know the ground well, that he traveled from 160 to 170 mil’s. He is a gray horse, with a darkish mane and tail, about fourteen hands high, and is believed to be about fourteen years old, and is, withal, very tierce. A Serious Charge Against the United States. The Liverpool Times of March loth says that the “group of unsettled questions’” to which the American Minister referred iu his Londoti speech, is increasing— “ For the Brazilian mail this week brings an account of occurrences connected with the slave trade which are sure to complicate our relations with the United Slates without any superfluous ‘thunder from Printing House Square. It appears that an organized conspi racy baa been arranged at Boston aud New York for fitting out slavers to supply the Bra zil market with negroes from the coast of Af rica, and recently r., slaver, manned by an Am erican crew, aud sailing under the American flag, has been captured and condemned by tho Brazilian Government under circumstances which leave no doubt of tlio fact that this hor rid traf ic has received a fresh stimulant in the ! ports of the American Union. A British crui ser and an American ship-ol'-war were nearly coming into collision off Brazil respecting this iugitivc slaver. All these circumstances are j caloula ed seriously to embarrass the present i misund ;rstanding_ between this country and , the United States.’ The .'irnes surely cannot have read the ac counts trotn llio Janeiro correctly. The trou ble between the English and Americans there : was on account of a Yankee clipper whom the ‘■ former suspected of being a Russian privateer. The War. The Richmond Enquirer thus sums up the results of the European war: •• I'o Bum up results: Sardinia, alter ex hausting its credit, is dismissed with a repri mand lor its impertinent interference ; the Ot toman Empire in Europe is overthrown, and l urkey has become the prey of its protectors; Great Britain has been outwitted in the cabi n®l. dishonored in the field, and degraded from its proud position among the nations of Europe: France has monopolized all the ma terial advantages and military glory of the war, and is now indisputably the foremost Power: Russia is just what it was before, not diminished in its resources, not disparaged in character, nor curbed in its ambition, but. full of young life, irrepressible energy, and confi dence in its own great destiny.” Election of Judge.
