COLUMBUS:
Tiii-nilay Morning, April , lBlt.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
City Judicial Election.
The election lor Judge aud Solicitor of the
new Criminal Court of the city of Columbus,
came off yesterday, and resulted in the election
of Peyton IL Colquitt for Judge, and no elec
tion for Solicitor, there being three candidates
in the field, and the law requiring a majority
of i lie whole. The vote was as follows :
For Judge:
A. G. foster, K. N ..225.
I’. 11. Colquitt, Dorn 426.
For Solicitor:
li. E. Dixon, K. N 22D.
John l’eabody, K. N Td9.
.1, A. Fox, Dem 213.
Though the candidates are of the politics
above indicated, the election is not regarded
as a test of party strength.
The Poor House of Muscogee county, about
two miles East of this city, was consumed by
lire last Friday night. It is supposed to have
lu-en the work of an incendiary.
The Trustees have offered a reward of one
hundred and fifty dollars for the apprehension
of the guilty party.
There was frost sufficient in this place and
vicinity on Sunday night, to kill Potato tops
and other tender vegetation. We have not
heard from the country, but presume the cot
ton that is up was killed, or so much injured
as to make a second planting necessary.
Early Lettuce.
Mrs. John Munn lias our thanks for several
heads of very nice Lettuce, ol‘the “Loaf’ va
riety, presented to us yesterday. Backward,
cold and dry as the spring has been, some of
the ladies of our city have attained such skill
in gardening that their plats, only a few days
ago white with frost, are now green with vege
tables fit for table use; aud no one is ahead
of Mrs. M. in early and successful horticulture,,
as the specimens sent us testify.
The Nashville Gazette of the 18th inst. states
that about fifty more Southern emigrants for
Kansas passed through that city on the 17tli,
and that, from thirty to one hundred arrive
there every day or two.
Tho Wakemanite Tragedy.
Our readers will nil remember the horrible
tragedy which occurred in New Haven, Conn.,
a few months ago, when a portion of a congre
gation of religious fanatics, called Wnkeman
ites, at the suggestion of their female leader,
took one of the “brethren” from the room in
which they were “worshipping” and murdered
him in cold blood, aud then returned again to
prayers ! The negro implicated in the trans
action was released on the preliminary exami
nation, but the widow Wakeman (the prophet
ess), Samuel Sly, and Thankful Horsey, were
committed to answer the charge of murder of
Justus Matthews. They were tried in New
Haven last week, and on tho 17 th inst. the ju
ry returned a verdict of “not guilty, on the
sole ground of insanity” ! We venture to say
that this is the first instance “in the books” in
which a whole religious denomination has been
adjudged insane and therefore not amenable to
tho law (for this is tho effect and scope of this
verdict—it not being pretended that the per
sons tried were insane in “worldly matters.”)
<>n the same principle, we presume, Beecher
and his congregation would be held insane,
should murder result from their furnishing
arms to Kansas settlers aud urging them to
shoot down Southerners ; and even abolition
fanaticism itself could be adjudged insanity,
and its votaries held not to be accountable to
the law for their acts of theft, treason and
bloodshed. Fast country this !
♦
Trouble among the Baptists.
< )ur Baptist brethren of the Calvary Church,
Philadelphia, have been “enjoying” a very
warm and stormy soason. They could not
agree touching the new version of tho Bible
which a commission of theologians (chiefly
Baptists) are now getting up. The pastor of
<'alvary Church favors tho new version, and
thinks that the learned men now engaged in
translating the Holy Scriptures are as compe
tent and as fully “called” as were King J nines’
translators. So did not think a largo number
of his communicants, and after some controver
sy and dispute, ho expelled them. But they
managed to procure a reinstatement, and then
outvoted the pastor’s party. Great excitement
followed, a general vow occurred, and the po
lice had to interfere to restore order. In the
confusion, some of the congregation jumped
out. of the windows to cscapo violeuce; and
wo are informed that the difficulty is not yet
adjusted. Wo trust that Sharpe’s rifles will
not he called into requisition in settling this
dispute, however great a “moral agent ” they
may be. It would be lar better to retain the
old version and tolerate sprinldmy, than to
translate “baptizo” into a bloody immersion.—
We anticipate nothing more serious than a few
scratches and bruises, and perhaps a division
of the church for the sake of peace.
-
We have had much wind, and the weather
has been cooler, for the last two or three days.
Some persons report a slight frost observable
in low situations yesterday morning; but it
was not sufficient to kill even the tenderest
vegetation in this city. No rain yet!

The Peace in Europe
We are at length assured that a Treaty of
Peace between the warring powers of Europe
lias been agreed upon at Paris: but its terms
are still left to conjecture and inference, it
having been officially announced that its con
ditions will he promulgated when the ratifica
tions are exchanged between the courts of
England, France, Austria, Sardinia, Turkey
and Russia. This will probably require two
or three weeks at least. In the meantime
speculation is busy, and thousands of politi
cians and news-mongers arc indefatigable in
their efforts to obtain an inkling of the inter
national secrets. Lord Palmerston, in the
British Parliament, in reply to a remark com
i plaining of the lack of information from the
| Ministers, said that “the treaty of peace would
| be deemed satisfactory by England and by
Europe”—a rather indefinite disclosure, wc
take it, lbr it is hard to conceive of terms that
could be acceptable to both England and Rus
sia. His Lordship continued, “It will be
found that by the stipulations of that treaty
the integrity and independence of the Turkish
Empire will he secured, as far as human ar
rangement can effect that purpose.” And
this, meagre as it is, is the most explicit offi
cial revelation of the terms of the Treaty that
has yet met our eye—albeit botli French and
British ministers pronounce it “honorable to
all the powers who are contracting parties to
it.” Probably there lias never keen any event
heretofore that has so completely enveloped nil
Europe in a shroud of glory. Tc JJeum ought
everywhere to be ’chanted, and Eugenic and
Victoria ought each to be entitled to another
baby before Christmas. But we have counter
expiessions of opinion, which do not corrobo
rate Lord Palmerston’s dictum that the Treaty
was honorable and acceptable to nil the par
ties to the war; and, among others, the fol
lowing extract from a Washington letter to the
Augusta Constitutionalist makes a disclosure
which is said to be based on information in the
possession of our Government:
“ It is generally understood in well inform
ed political circles, in Washington, that the
preliminaries of peace have been definitely
agreed upon by the Allied Powers. 1 specify
the parties to this arrangement, because Tur
key, it is believed, has demurred to certain
conditions which enter into the settlement,
and the parties designated are determined to
have it their own way. Should this be so, the
cause of humanity would be largely the gain
er, as it is rumored that our Minister Spence
has, in late despatches, informed our Govern
ment that Turkey is determined to persist in
the sine qua non to a peace, that Russia must
relax her hold on the principalities. This
France will not consent to, because the Greek
Church, in the opinion of Napoleon, is better
than Makommedism, and under the dominion
of Russia that form of religion is guaranteed.”
The following is the very last full version of
the Treaty that we have seen. It wasconwnu
nicated to the Paris Sieclo from St. Petersburg,
and the Paris correspondent of the London
Morning Post expresses his belief that it is a
correct outline. If so, Russia instead of Tur
key is the pouting boy in the corner:
“1. Russia consents to the neutralization
of tlic Black Sea. 2. Sebastopol is not again
to become a war depot, 3. Nicolaicff is to be
reduced to a commercial port. 4. Russia is
to abandon her protectorate of the Principali
ties. 5. Russia renounces certain territories
in Bessarabia, which leave the navigation of
the Danube perfectly free. A commission is
to be appointed to trace the new frontier in
this district. 7. The fact of a Russian soldier
passing the Pruth is to be looked upon as a
casus belli by the contracting Powers.”
But hear now what this same Paris corres
pondent of the Morning Post announces in his
last communication to that Journal:
“ If we make up accounts, perhaps the con
tract is in favor of Russia, to whom more has
been given up than she has renounced. Such
a result is naturally the case, because it was
never the intention of England and France to
punish Muscovite aggression with conquest
involving loss of territory, or permanent occu
pation.”
Again, it is telegraphed as a part of the
Baltic’s news that some the “points” were
not decided by the Treaty, but have to be yet
acted upon by a commission appointed by the
Conference, and that “it is rumored that tho
matters to be settled by the Conference arc
tho organization of tlic Principalities and tho
free navigation of the Danube.” With these
conflicting and variant statements and specu
lations before us, wc can but conclude to await
more reliable developments before tee undertake
to give the terms of the Treaty that has been,
or is to be, concluded—admiring, in the mean
time, the accommodating spirit of the people
of Great Britain and France, who so enthusi
astically salute a Treaty with whose terms
they arc unacquainted, but with which they
are bound to be well pleased:
But, be the conditions of this peace what
they may, the London Times lias in advance
proclaimed “a famous victory” for the Allies,
and already pants for another world to con
quer. Brother Jonathan is now to be looked
after and placed in leading strings—if tlic lute
of Russia is not a terror to him, he is to be
conquered and caged as the Northern Bear lias
been. Hear “the Thunderer:”
4 ■There are two empires in modern ti mes which
have been regarded as similar in many substantial
circumstances, aud even in some points of poli
cy, and which have ever cherished themselves
the idea of their similarity. Russia and tho
United States have avowed a sort of particular
respect for ono another, tvs the Cossack and
| the Republican in the political scale. With
the single exception that they carry out the
opposite extremes of government, though
equally without constitutional balance or
check, they equally boast unlimited territory,
rapid growth, great military success, ami an
opinion of their resources and prowess which
has hitherto met with no check. They have
hitherto been equally confident of their desti
ny, that old stumbling-block of new nations.
They have equally fostered maxims that can
not bo admitted by their neighbors without a
sacrifice of self-respect.
•• Ever sinco the year 1775 the two Govern
ments have been interchanging compliments.
It was only on Saturday that we inserted the
harangue of au American Senator, containing
a favorable comparison between the two Gov
ei nmeuts. Now, it is rather a remarkable
thing, and to be noted in tlie history of human
delusions, that at the very moment when the
one bubble has burst, when Russia’s dream of
irresistible power and endless dominion has
been rudely and finally dispelled, the other
power, the self-boasted parallel, the brother
in boundless pretension and special immunity,
so far from taking warning by the fate of its
compeer, is at this moraentverging to tlie same
suicidal folly—a war, not of self-defence, but
of wanton defiance, the sole and avowed object
of which is the assumption of a political posi
tion above all the rest of the world.
“ Is it possible that any other empire in the
world, especially that empire which is ever
matching itself with Russia and claiming the
i benefit of the Russian example, should choose
tliis very time for asserting its most prepos
terous claims? All Europe is now resounding
with the grateful notes of peace. Every State
rejoices for the event which secures “ the in
tegrity and independence” of a weak people
against the schemes of a powerful neighbor.—
We trust the triumph will not be marred, the
hymn of praise jarred, and the universal judg
ment defied by the appearance of anew dicta
tor in the Western hemisphere, as imperious,
as egotistical, as resolved to give its own law
to the world, and as certain to be brought un
der, the world’slaw, as that which hasjust made
its timely submission to a European Con
gress.”
Large Dividend.
The Bank of the State of Georgia, locatedat
Savannah, has declared a dividend of seven per
cent, on its. capital stock for the last six
months’ operations. We presume that very
few hanking institutions in the country have
been so profitably managed.
The last news from Europe shows, that the
publication by our Government of she whole
correspondence on the Enlistmentquestion has
done much to disabuse the minds of tlie people
of Great Britain. They now see that their
own statesmen have been wholly in the wrong
—have deceived them and misrepresented the
case, —and the English papers are pouring up
on the Ministry hotter shot than their navy
could bring to bear against the Russian defen
ces in the Baltic. The Times, almost alone,
continues its fierce denunciations of this coun
try, based, as usual, upon only general as
sumptions of tho arrogance and presumption
of our people. See a specimen of its warfare
in another article.
Destructive Fire in West Point.
We regret to state that a most destructive
lire broke out in our town last night about half
past 11 o’clock. It originated iii the “Bail
Road Hotel,” occupied by Mr. G. W. E. Be
dell, and consumed the whole of that large
building and three others, beside outhouses.
No one knows liow the fire started, though we
heard it asserted that it was first discovered
in a room usually unoccupied. The destruc
tion was complete, allowing but little time
even for saving some of the furniture. We un
derstand that the Hotel was insured for $5,000,
and the furniture for $3,000 —in what compa
ny we did not hear. The Hotel belonged to
Mr. Timothy Collins, and the furniture to Mr.
Bedell. We have been unable to ascertain
whether or not any of the other buildings de
stroyed were covered by insurance. The de
structibn of property is variously estimated—
some estimating it at 15 and others $20,000.
Beacon, 19th.
The Weather, Fruit, Crops, &c.
Spring has come at last, in good earnest.—
The weather is dry and warm, and vegetation
is putting out rapidly. The fruit crop will no
doubt be abundant. Farmers are actively en
gaged in preparing toplantlarge crops of corn.
The wheat crop, though thinned by tlie severe
winter, is promising, notwithstanding. Mr.
A. E. Blunt, of this place, has just left at our
oflice some stalks of rye, taken from a lot of
one acre growing on his lot, each measuring
over four feet in height. This is an extraor
dinary growth, considering that there lias not
been over two weeks of gi-owing weather since
the seed was sown. Mr. Blunt uses guano for
manuring.— Dalton Times.
The Spring Season in Texas.
We learn from gentlemen who have recent
ly visited our city from the interior that the
whole country exhibts a scene of uncommon
industry, energy and perseverance. The far
mers are busy in making up for the time which
they lost by the backwardness of the spring.
Avery largely increased amount of land will
be put into cultivation this season. A hope
ful spirit seems to pervade the planting com
munity. No harassing debts —tlie accumula
tion of long years of extravagance and improv
idence—hangs like an incubus upon their
minds. They are the owners of their own
soil, free from mortgages to Banks, of which it
is our good fortune to have none. Upon the
prairies, adjacent to their farms, roam in all
nature’s freedom and frolic, their innumerable
herds of stock, who live upon pasture kindly
provided, annually renewed and re-invigorated
by the great Creator. Who would not be a
Texas Farmer? What class of men anywhere
are so prosperous, happy and independent.—

Husband and Wife.
The last Legislature of Georgia passed an
act to define the liabilities of the husband for
the debts of the wife, and to define the liabili
ties of property received through the wife for
tlie debts of the husband existing at the time
of the marriage. It provides that ‘hereafter,
when persons intermarry, the husband shall
not be liable for the debts of the wife further
than the property received through the wife
will satisfy, and that the property received by
the husband through tho wife shall in no case
be liable for the debts, defaults, or contracts
af the husband existing at the time of the
marriage. Several other States have looked
iuto and secured women’s rights in this impor
tant particular.

Mr. Grip’s Aid to the Gospel.
Mr. Grip is one of our best known citizens.
Mr. Grip is a worshipper of money, and never
allows a half dollar to pass .out of his hand
without giving the “eagle a squeeze that
makes him hiss like a gander.” Mr. Grip is a
church - member who attends divine worship
with becoming punctuality. Although Mr.
Grip is a man of wealth, lie “makes ita point”
never to put over five cents on the plate, even
for the benefit of Central Africa. This piece
of coin he places in the right hand pocket of
his vest on Saturday evening, so as to “prevent
mistakes.” A few Sundays since, Mr. Grip,
in dressing, got on the wrong vest. He did
j not discover his error till the “man with the
I plate” commenced chasing up that five cent
! piece. It was no good, however, he had the
wrong vest on, while the smallest piece of
| money he had in liis pantaloons pocket was a
half dollar. He of course could not think of
| throwing away funds in that manner. lie ap
! plied to his wife :
; “Mary, have you got any change ?”
“Not a cent.”
He then turned to his son:
“Got any small change, George?”
“Nothing but a shilling—that one with pil
lars you gave last night.”
“Ilavn’t you got a smooth one ?”
“No, sir.”
“Well, hand it here, and give me you knife,
I will stick him on four cents any way.”
Saying this, Mr. Grip took his son George’s
knife and drew it across his son George's
shilling. By this means Mr. Grip reduced its
value to eight cents and felt better for the
next two days.
Mr. Grip is a character. To do another out
of four cents, affords him as much pleasure as
to make two shillings in any legitimate man
ner. The plate carrier that gets ahead of
Grip, has got to start early, that’s all.
Florida War—Further Particulars.
It appears that tho party of volunteers who
went in pursuit of the Indians who attacked
Dr. Barden’s residence on the Manatee on the
6th inst. was composed of Capt. Addison’s
command.
When the Indians were discovered a portion
of those commands crossed the creek, and
charged the Indians in the rear, while the re
mainder halted on the opposite side; thus
completely surrounding the enemy. Three
Indians did not escape, as before stated; all
of the seven, save the two who were shot at
tlie first fire on the party, threw themselves
into the creek, ancl are supposed to have
drowned. The water was reddened for some
distance below the place of attack, tgr the
blood oozing from the wounded Indians. One
of the Indians who was scalped was not in
stantly killed—but mortally wounded. He
could talk very good English—desired to be
taken to a doctor—said that Okehau, the sub
chiel who led the attack on the 17tli January,
near Fort Denaud, met them there ; that the
Indian pony captured belonged to Okehau, and
that he jumped into tfae creek, lie also said
that Billy Bowlegs had as many warriors as
he wanted—that he (Billy) had sent him to
Manatee to capture the negroes.
After sounding the Creek, the bottom of which
could not be reached with ‘‘a ten footpole,”
and burying tlie Indian baggage, which would
have loaded a wagon, the party started to Ma
natee with the negroes, mules, and wounded
Indian. They had not proceeded many paces,
however, when the Indian fell, and was unable
to proceed further. He was then ordered to
be shot, which order was obeyed.
The above are all the additional details given
by the Peninsular.
The same paper mentions that about forty
citizens of Manatee were last week mustered
into the service of the State by Gen. Jesse
Carter, under command of Capt. John Addi
son.
How to Pop the Question.
“Gracious !” sez I, “it’s now time to look
arter Nance.”
Next day, down I went. Nancy was alone,
and 1 axed her if the ’squire was in. She
said he wasn’t.
“’Cause,” said I, making believe that 1 wan

come to see if the ’squire wont lend me liis
mare to go to town.”
She said she guessed he would. I’d better
sit down and wait till the ’squire come in.
Down I sot; she looked sorter strange, and
my heart felt queer around the edge.
“Are you going down to Betsy Martin’s
quilting ?” after a while sez she.
Sez 1, “reckon I would.”
Sez she, “suppose you’ll take Patience
Dodge ?”
Sez I, “1 mougkt, and then I moughtn’t.”
Sez she, “I heard you was going to get mar

Sez 1, “l would’nt wonder a bit.”
I looked at her and saw the tears cummin.
Sez I, “may be she’ll ax you to be brides
i maid.
She riz up, she did, her face was as red as a

“Seth Stokes!” and she could’nt say any
thing more, she was so full.
“Won’t you be bridesmaid, Nance?” sez 1.
“No,” sez she, and she burst right out.
“W ell then,” sez I, “if you won’t be the

She looked at me—l swou to man 1 never

“Yes or No,” sez I, “right off.”
