COLUMBUS:
WrtliktsiUy Morning, April <3,
liAIIUEIT CITY CIRC CITATION.
Another Frost.
There was a very perceptible white trust in
the lower portions of this city yesterday mor
ning ; but we have not Been any vegetation
that was killed by it.
We were tantalized about midday yesterday
by every appearance of rain; but the effort
proved abortive, and at sunset the “signs”
were not so promising.
We tender our thanks to a number of Sena
tors and Representatives, and especially to
lion. A. Iverson and lion. M. J. Crawford,
for the valuable public documents with which
they have favored us. Hons. Win. R. Smith,
Hiram Warner and J. 11. Lumpkin also have
our thanks for their kind attention.
The United States District Court for the
Southern District of Georgia is this week in
■ rssion at Savannah. We learn that young
Chisolm, charged with robbing the Postoffice
id’ this city, has been conveyed thither for
trial, and that our Postmaster and one or two
clerks have gone to Savannah as witnesses in
the case.
The Brunswick and Florida Railroad has
been completed to the Saltilla river, with the
exception of a few slight breaks which will be
connected by the middle of May, when the
cars will run a distance of thirty-two miles.—
It will no doubt lie pushed forward energeti
cally to the neighborhood of Waresboro’, at or
near which place it will connect with the
“ Main Trunk.” The Savannah and Gulf Rail
t oad is also making headway towards the same
point.
The statement is again renewed, that Col.
Wheeler, the United States general Minister to
the Central American States, lias advised our
\dministration that Sehlessinger was not used
up, as reported, by the Costa Ricans, but that
being confronted by the enemy in numbers
overwhelmingly superior to his own, lie re
treated to San Juan as a strategic movement.
If this be so, the Costa Ricans outlie the Mexi
cans or the British; but we fear that the true
state of the case has not been so utterly mis
represented as Wheeler’s reported advices
would indicate.
New Orleans papers state that Maj. Buford’s
expedition numbered 400 men when he left
New Orleans. The men were formed into six
companies, under proper officers, and embark
ed in two steamers, the America and the
Oceana, on the 13th inst.

The Great Race at New Orleans.
The three-mile race on the 18th inst., be
tween Lccomte, l’ryor and Minnow—three of
the fastest nags in the Union—drew a very
large crowd to the Union Course. Each of the
horses had backers, their late brilliant exploits
on the turf giving confidence to their respec
tive friends; but before tho start Pryor was
freely backed against the field. The result
showed that the confidence of his backers was
not misplaced. Lecomtc won the first heat,
and then became the favorite; but tho second
was won by Pryor in gallant style, and again
odds were freely offered on him. He almost
lost tho third heat by his rider’s holding him
in at the close of the second mile, supposing
that the heat was ended, and for a moment the
backers of Lecomte, who shot ahead, rent the
air with shouts ; hut Pryor’s rider perceived
his error in time, again took up the running,
and passed his rivals near the stand, winning
the heat and the race. Time, 5:58:j, 5:511.1,
r,:12.
Anew and startlingdisolosure in connection
with Sadlier and his frauds is promised. The
Dublin Nation attempts to prove (and, it is
said, with a great deal of plausibility) that the
body found was not that of Sadlier, but some
•me else, and that the great forger is in reality
still alive and at large. If this be so, the de
ception is tho greatest of all his forgeries, and
fairly entitles him to stand at the head of his
class. Old Nick had better beware of receiv
ing him when ho does die, or lie will break
the brimstone bank and produce a general
crash in the kingdom of darkness.
The Indian War in Oregon.
Every arrival from the Pacific brings accu
mulating proof that the war at present carried
on by the Indians in Oregon Ims been forced
upon them by the conduct of the whites. It
is with shame that we come to a conclusion so
discreditable and disgraceful to any portion of
our people; but not only the Investigations of
Gen. Wool, but the positive statements of set
tlers of truth and respectability, confirm this
fact. The greater portion of the citizeus, it is
to be presumed, have had nothing to do with
the outrages and misrepresentations which
have urged on the Indian tribes to hostilities;
mily a few designing and unprincipled charac
ters were needed to stir up a warfare so disas
trous to the settlers and so shocking to hu
manity. Joel Palmer, Esq., superintendent of
Indian Affairs in that Territory, has written
to Washington that the difficulties are “ wholly
attributable to the nets of the whites,” and he
thinks that steps ought to be taken to protect
the Indians und save their lives, rather than
to exterminate them as the Governor and Leg
islature wish to do. He says that the wur is
the result of the efforts of “ a set of reckless
vagabonds, for pecuniary and political objects,
sanctioned by a numerous population who re
gard the Treasury of the United Statos as a le
gitimate object of plunder.” If it be true, as
asserted, that the Territorial authorities have
already issued scrip to the enormous amount
of four millions of dollars, for which the Fed
eral Government has been pledged by them,
for the suppression of this Indian war, the
fact goes far to prove that they arc co-opern
tors with the “reckless vagabonds” who have
stirred up the war, and seek, like them, to
make it a means of Government plunder. Tho
whole question ought to be thoroughly inves
tigated, and, if such a thing is possible, the
scrip ought to he repudiated and the offenders
brought to punishment.
The Main Trunk Rail Road.
Several weeks ng<i we copied :ui article from
the Bainhridge Argus, urging the superior fa- i
eilitics and advantages of tho lower route for
this road, and we promised at the same time,
to publish any statement of the claims ol the*
upper route which might he presented. \\ f*
have not yet found such an article ; but tho
following front the Albany Patriot, combats
one of the arguments urged in support of the
lower route, and opposes it as not within the
contemplation of the Legislature. After cor
recting a report that the Legislature of Flori
da had authorized the construction ol’ a road
which might be used to continue our Main
Trunk to Pensacola, or to extend it across
West Florida, the Patriot proceeds to say :
“The Main Trunk Road cau never enter
Florida. There is no charter now in existence
that will admit of such a thing, and there is
not the slightest reason to suppose that one
will he granted. It would not he to the inter
est of that State to grant such a charter. She
has Rail Road enterprises to build up and sus
tain, and the passage of the Main Trunk
through her territory to Pensacola, or any
other Gulfport, would greatly cripple, if not
entirely kill off the schemes now on foot to
construct Rail Hoads of her own, and the pre
liminary steps to carry out which have already
been taken. Hence it would he suicidal on
her part to admit the Main Trunk ; and the
friends of this line have no right to expect her
to place a club in their hands wherewith to
beat out her own brains.
“ Unless such an entrance into and passage
through Florida could be effected—and we
think it may be safely said that it cannot —the
road of course cannot go through Thomasvillc;
and the people of that place, we infer front the
“signs of the time,” will therefore not on y re
fuse to aid in the construction of the Main
Trunk, hut will, by throwing their influence
in favor of another road, endeavor to break it
down. In corroboration of this opinion, we
copy below an extract from a private letter
written by a citizen of Thomasville, which wc
find in the Savannah Journal of the l4th :
“Our people, finding that they were not
likely to have any aid from other sections in
bringing the route of the Main Trunk to this
place, and unwilling to throw away their in
fluence and money upon a road which would
not benefit them to any great extent, and
would deprive them of their last chance of get
ting a road to this place direct from the At
lantic, have concluded to have nothing to do
with the Main Trunk, and it is probable that
not ten thousand dollars will be subscribed
here, if anything.”
“ Thero is, however, sufficient ability in
South Western Georgia to build the road with
out the aid of Thomas. It will be to the in
terest of this section generally not to have any
assistance from Thomas county, if the only
condition upon which such assistance can he
secured, is that the road shall run immediate
ly adjacent to Thomasville.
“On the whole, wc regard it as a happy
circumstance, that the laws of Florida are
such ns to rendor the lower route entirely im
practicable, and thus effectually prevent the
building of the road upon a line which, itt our
judgment, was never contemplated or design
ed by the Legislature in granting the charter.”

Mr. Dallas, in a letter just received, says that
tho subject of the differences between the Eng
lish government and the United States will be
fully discussed in Parliament. Ho is led to
boliove that the discussion will not be devoid
of acrimony towards this country, but he is
prepared to boar it like a philosopher, lie
mentions with particularity numerous acts of
marked courtesy extended him, including
those of members of the Cabinet; and he re
gards tlieso manifestations as expressive of a
peaceable disposition towards this country.—
Washington Organ.
“ Prepared to bear it like a philosopher.”
If this means that Secretary Maroy has fully
indoctrinated hint, and instilled into him the
Divine precept “if thy neighbor smite thee on
the one check, turn to him the other also,”
wo fear that Mr. Dallas will have a great deal
to “bear,” and that the London Times will
have at least to acknowledge that we are a
Christian nation hereafter. Courtesies and
manifestations of personal regard indicate very
good manners in individuals, and arc always
pleasing and flattering ; but we submit that
the outrage of enlisting soldiers in our States
lias not been apologised or atoned for, and
that Great Britain has not yet cleared out from
those Central American colonies which she
continues to occupy in violation of the Clay
tou-Bulwer Treaty. Stoic or Christian “phi
losophy” won’t right these wrongs; and if
Mr. Matey has no other remedy than to “grin
and hear it” like a “philosopher,” we may
make up our minds at once to abandon all
ltopo of redress, aud bo content and thankful
under any dispensations hereafter.
Toxas has adopted a very stringent Liquor

Cotton Burned.
On Tuesday last a Car load of Cotton took
fire on the Macon and Western Rail Road,
about three miles below Griffin, and was en
tirely consumed. The Cars at each end of the
burning Car were detached by the conductor
of the train and thus preserved front damage.
The total loss of the company is supposed to
be some $20,000. Some thirty or thirty five
bales of cotton were burnt with the Car’ con
taining them.— Gritfin Union.

From Hi 1 ’ Loudon Times. March 2(5.
Kel'uaal ol Turkey to Sanction the Proceed
ings ol ilie Conference.
The intelligence which we communicated
some days since, to the effect that the Porte
had refused to sanction in some particulars the
proceedings of the Paris conference, is now
confirmed. The council of Constantinople, it
is now known, has directed Ali Pasha not to
consent to the insertion of the Sultan’s late de
cree among the articles of peace, as such a
concession would bind the Porte to a certain
form of administration in its own independent
territories. Tho plenipotentiary itas been for
mally ordered toopposeanyarrangementabout
the principalities which should be in any way
prejudicial to the sovereign rights of the Porte
in those provinces. Os the former question
we have already spoken. The institutions
which are to give the Rayah subjects of the
Sultan new rights aud new career must be the
care of the western powers for many years to
conic. It will be some time before England
and France will lie able to relax their hold
upon Turkey. The matters to be determined
are important and complicated, and even the
most enlightened statesman must confess that
he sees but a. little way before him in this med
ley of hostile races, deep-rooted prejudices,
decaying yet tenacious creeds, intrigue, mis
representation and vanity.
The manner in which the Turkish council
lias roused itself of late to assert its indepen
dence of foreign control, is well described by
our correspondent at Constantinople. It seems
that the Turkey whose armies were ordered to
and fro by the allied generals, and whose as
sent to diplomatic arrangements it was hardly
thought necessary to ask for, is resolved once
more to assert a will of its own. Whether the
Porto will have the courage to persevere we
know not, but at present its policy seems to
be to uphold the independence and integrity
for which the allies have declared that they
fought. At the preliminary conferences at
Constantinople, the question of the principali
ties was debated, but nothing was settled.
The want of full instructions was pleaded
by tlic ambassadors of France and Austria,
and the matter was referred to the conferences
at Paris. Shortly after the telegraph inform
ed the Porto that Lord Clarendon, Count ()r
----loif, and their associates were debating on the
union of the two provinces. This idea had
not been brought forward at the Constantino
ple conference. The receipt of tho news threw
the council into much excitement. Meetings
of the high dignitaries of the empire were dai
ly held, and the result was a formal protest by
telegraph against the discussion even of the
union of the two principalities, as an interfer
ence with the internal affairs of Turkey, and a
violation of the sovereign rights of the Porte
in those provinces. In spite of long interviews
between the French and Austrian ambassadors
and at the Porte, this protest was
sent.
Cotton Superseded by Silk.
The Paris correspondent of the London At
las says:
“ We hail with delight the announcement
that a savant has just made so valuable a dis
covery in the art of preparing silk, that this
article will become cheaper and more common
than cotton. This savant, it appears, one day
having nothing else to do, began to think,
which is wonderful for a savant, says Alphcnse
Karr—that there was but one creature capa
ble of producing silk —that there was but one
description of vegetable matter, that of the
mulberry tree, fitted for that creature’s food,
therefore the silky substance must not lie in
the animal, but in the vegetable matter; so at
once the savant set about analyzing the com
position of the mulberry leaf, and by boiling
it to a thick paste has produced every descrip
tion of silk in immense quantities. 1 have
seen several yards of manufacture, and al
though wanting a little of the gloss belonging
to that spun by the worm, 1 can pronounce it
as superior to the finestfoullardhithertomade.
The price of the silk is five francs a pound
when spun, being one hundred and twenty
francs cheaper than that of the present day.—
This new inetod of procuring silk will at once
be adopted in all countries, as the mulberry
can be grown in any country, and requires
scarcely any culture.
Post Master Caught.
The Post Master at Toll Gate, Marion coun
ty, Alabama, was detected lately in purloining
letters from the mail containing money, and
has been committed for trial. It seents Mr.
Blair the Special Agent for the Department,
had reason to suspect that all was not right
about the Toll Gate office—that tho mail was
tolled, perhaps, more that the law allowed. A
trap was therefore set, by mailing various let
ters as decoys. After the mail had passed
Toll Gate, the Agent examined it and found
the bait gone, and he had the Post Master ar
rested forthwith. Some of the money mailed
by the Agent was found upon hint. The fel
low's name is Cashin—and wo hope he will get
justice. For years past wc have been losing
money mailed to us by that route. To the
best of our recollection wc never lost a dollar
in the mail except on the Aberdeen route, via
Toll Gate. In one mouth, some two years ago,
we lost some $25 mailed from different parts
of Mississippi, the letters having to pass thro’
the Toll Gate office. Mr. Cashin had made “a
good thing of it,” we hear, and was getting
rich fast when Mr. Blair broke into his ar
rangements.—North Alabamian.

“ My sou, can you take a trunk for me up
to the hotel ?■’ said a passenger stepping from
a boat on the levee, to araggedlooking young
ster, who sat balancing on a tail cud of a dray.
“ N our sou ?” cried the boy, eyeing him
from head to foot. “ Well, I’ll be dod drubbed

find nty daddy for three years, aud all of a
sudden up comes the old boss himself, and
knows me right off. How are you?” stretching
out a muddy looking paw,
The stranger was uon-plussed. Dctwoen a
smile and a frown, he inquired : “ What is
your name, sir ?”
“My name ! So you don’t know. Well, it's
nothing for people in these parts to have so
many children that they don't know their
names. My name’s William, but some folks
call me Ragged Bill, for short. What the oth
er part is, I reckon you know ; if you don’t,
you must ax the old woman.”
And shouldering the trunk, lie marched off
towards the hotel, mumbling to himself:
“ Well this is a go. The old gemman eomo
home at last. Good clothes, big trunk, must
have the tin. Well, lam in luck.”
Professor Mitchell closed one of his recent
lectures with the following magnificent illus
tration : Describing the gradual tendency of
the earth’s orbit to assume the circular form,
he said its short diameter was gradually length
ening, ami would continue so to expand until
it should become perfectly circular, when it
would again contract to its original shape and
dimensions. And so the earth would vibrate
periodically, and these periods were measured
by millions upon millions ol’ years. “Thus,”
said Prol. M., “the earth will continue to
swing hack and forth, and to and fro, in the
heavens, like a great pendulum heating the
seconds of eternity.”

The late news from Central America, has
caused much excitement at the National Capi
tol of our country. Rumor had said that the
English aud French fleets off Central America
contemplated landing troops to aid Costa Rica
in exterminating American fillibusters in Nic
aragua, and it is now understood by our gov
ernment that the Costa Rican force included
many foreign troops drawn from some quarter.
The inference is, that they have been se
cretly furnished from these squadrons. Should
this prove to be true, it will open a fine field
lor future diplomacy between these powers
and our government. The report that Walker
has met with reverses, is undoubtedly true,
but dispatches received from Mr. Wheeler, by
tlie Department of State, indicate that the re
treat of Walker’s forces was a matter rather
of policy than of necessity, and that so soon
as Walker comes up with the main body of
the army, the offensive operations will be re
sumed. Every one expresses a confiden e
that the “model fillibuster,” will yet possess
himself of the -whole of Central America.

Whose Baby Is It?
The Boston Post lias a Paris correspondent,
who writes there were those so given to unbe
lief in the implicit honesty of Louis Napoleon
as to credit the rumor that the “sound, live
boy” who has been palmed off upon the Em
pire, is nothing but an usurper, and that he
takes the place of a certain girl baby which
was the real heir. The aforesaid rumor was
to the effect that for some time previous to the
Empress’s accouclunent, it was well under
stood that whatever the event might be, a fine
healthy boy would be ready to be presented as
the legitimate child of the Empire. This being
so, at once accounts for the fact of the King
of Algiers being as big at his birth as his
nurse’s baby at two months old?

Ben Franklin’s Toast before the British
and French Ambassadors.
Long after Washington’s victories over the
French and English had made his name famil
iar to all Europe, Dr. Franklin chanced to dine
with the English and French ambassadors,
when the following toasts were drank : By the
English Ambassador—“ England Sun
whose bright beams enlighten and fructify the
remotest corners of the earth.” The French
Ambassador glowing with national pride, but
too polite to dispute the previous toast, drank,
“France—the .I loon whose mild, steady and
cheering rays, are the delight of all nations—
consoling them in darkness, and making their
dreariness beautiful.” Franklin then arose
with his accustomed dignified simplicity, and
said: “George Washington—the Joshua who
commanded the Sun and Moon to stand still,
and they obeyed him.”
A Candid Confession.
ihe New \ ork Tribune in an editorial on
the slave trade, says:
“ 1 lie fact is, that in spite of laws of Con
gress. and treaties with all nations, in spite of
the virtuous indignation of* Presidents’ Mes
sages, and the boiling over of Judges before
Grand Juries, the slave trade is carried on by
American citizens to a much greater extent
than ever it was before. It is admitted, we
believe, that where one hundred thousand ne
groes were kidnapped in a year in Africa when
Clarkson and Wilberforce thought their work
was over, four hundred thousand are now, or
were very recently. Possibly the recent change
in the policy of Brazil may have somewhat
altered the figures of this estimate ; but we
shalll be far within the mark in setting the
number down at double what it was at the ab
olition. Os this most lucrative trade Ameri
can merchants have thecreditof enjoying their
share, and the names of men and firms are
mentioned on the sly in New York, in Boston,
in Philadelphia, as among tlmsp who turn an
honest penny in this way.”
