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! I ■ New Orleans Haces—Union Course. Second Day. — W. J. Minor’s gr. f. L)mue Blanche beat J. L. 1 inlay’s cli. f. Undine, mile heats; time, each heat 1:411^. Third Day. —Poindexter’s Mary I>. and I mlay’s Puss Fariss contended for the two-mile purse. It was won by Mary B. in 5:461, J:4SJ. Lecointe, Pryor and Minnow were to run on the 18th, a three-milcrace, puree SSOO. Very fast time and an exciting contest were antici pated. The Committee on Elections, in the House of Representatives have reported in favor of Ben nett, Frcesoiler, whocontests theseat of Chap man, Democrat, as delegate from Nebraska. We suppose that the only question considered was the politics of the contestants. 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.— Houston Telegraph. Levied on his Dog. We find the following advertisement in the Kingston Gazetteer: “ Notice.—On Monday the 31st inst., at the court house door in Kingston, 1 will offer for sale, cash in hand, to tlie highest bidder, one eur dog, this day levied on as the property of James Isliam, to satisfy poll tax and cost for the year 1855, and will be sold, unless said tax i and cost arc previously satisfied. This 20th March, 1856. •S. T. Turner, Sheriff. Congressional. Washington, April 18. Senate. —On motion of Mr Seward, theCoui mittee on Post Offices was directed to enquire into the expediency of establishing an uniform rate of postage throughout the United States. The House received two letters from the S ecretary of the Navy, inviting the members of | Congress to visit the new steam frigate “Mcr riniac” at Anapolis. • ...., - - It will gratify many to learn that Bishop O’Reilly, of Hartford, Conn., arrived at Bos ton in the Cambria on Wednesday last. Ever since any doubts have been entertained of the Pacific’s safety, contradictory reports have been in circulation, some stating positively that the Bishop had taken passage on board that ill-fated steamer, and others declaring to the contrary. 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. TELEGRAPHIC. ♦ Expressly for the Daily Sun. From Savannah. Savannah, April 21. Cotton market quiet—nothing doing. Sell ers stiff and asking eleven cents for Strict Middling. 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 ted him, “our colt lias sprained his foot, and I 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 ried.” 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 boiled beet. “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 j bridesmaid, will you be the bride ?” She looked at me—l swou to man 1 never I saw anything so awful purty. I took right holt I of her hand. “Yes or No,” sez I, “right off.” “Yes,” sez she. “That’s the sort, sez I, and 1 gave her a kiss and a hug. I soon fixed matters with tlie squire. We soon hitched traces tot-rot in dou ble harness for life, and I never had cause to repent my bargain. Heavy and Valuable Cargo. The ship Tribune, cleared Thursday for Liv erpool, by E.
