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 law. It requires that an election shall first he held, and a majority of all tho voters livingwith itt three miles of any location proposed for re tailing spirituous liquorjshall sanction the ap plication, and then the license tax is to be $”50; the applicant being required, more over, to give bond in SIOOO to keep an orderly house and prohibit gambling on the premises. + It was said that Gen. Lane, the bogus Free Soil Senator front Kansas, had challenged Sen ator Douglas, on account of alleged personali ties, but it is now stated that the challenge is withheld in anticipation of a retraction by Douglas. 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. Presidential Candidates in Europe. Mr. Fillmore had returned to Rome on the 20th ult., front Naples. The New York Her ald learns that Mr. Cass was to entertain him at a splendid banquet, to which all the lead ing Americans itt Rome, and the high dignita ries of tho Church were invited. Mr. Fillmore was to leave ou the day after for Florence, Milan, and \ enieu. Marked attention has been shown the Ex-Prosidcnt by the Pope and the King of Naples. Mr. Buchanan had pas sed through Paris on his way to the Hague. His intention was to leave for the United States on the Bth of this mouth. It was con templated by the Americans in Paris to invite him to a public dinner ou his return through that city. 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. Pound His Father. “ 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 it 1 aitt tin luck. Here I’ve been trying to 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.” TELEGRAM irIIC. —♦- - Expressly for the Daily Sun.

General Intelligence.— The advices by this arrival arc unimportant. The Peace Con ference was still in session, engaged in arrang ing the minor details. A vessel arrived in England from Newfound land, reports having seen a steamer’s lights in the ice on the Grand Banks. Peace bad been announced at St. Petersburg and favorably received. An American squadron was cruising on the coast of Spain. Washington, April 19, 185 G. 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. Cor. Charleston Standard. 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? Distressing Homicide. Wc have just been favored with a sight of a hasty note from Millcdgeville to Mr. N. E.

At the same time Powell made a murderous assault upon a brother of the deceased, who is considered dangerously wounded. —Atlanta Intelligencer. ■+- 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.” OFFICE 111- Tin; l,\n Y Columbia, A p r J| , The transactions in cotton yesterday w.
