LAItttKST CITY CIRCUL.ATION.
The Sinking of the Cuba.
We find in the Montgomery papers several
articles in relation to the loss of this tine steam
er on the Alabama river. The general im
pression was that seven lives were lost, name
ly, a lady and her four children and two ne
groes; hut one dispatch from Lower l’oach
Tree (near the scene of the disaster) states
that about twenty lives were supposed to be
lost. The steamer ran upon the wreck of the
Aberdeen, a boat that was sunk in the river
some time since, and upon which another boat
(the Empire) was snagged. A writer in the
Mail, examining the subject in reference to
the facts of the case, thinks that the pilot
ought to be indicted and held answerable for
the negligent sacrifice of human life, and that
the company owning the Combination Line arc
liable for the loss of property. A number of
passengers (among whom were Mr. J. M. Al
len of this city), in a published card, cheerful
ly acknowledge that the Captain of the Cuba
exerted himself to the utmost of his power to
rescue the passengers from the wreck after the
accident occurred, and they attach no blame
to him ; hut they charge that “the pilot and
engineers are in some way guilty of misman
agement or neglect of duty.” The matter
ought certainly to be thoroughly investigated,
for it would seem that the officers either
knew of the existence of the dangerous sunken
wreck and wilfully neglected to avoid it, or
that they were grossly ignorant of the naviga
tion of the river, and therefore incompetent
and culpable.

We learn from .Savannah that the trial of
Chisolmn lias been continued until the next
term of the United States Ditsrict Court.
Macon Election.
At the election held in Macon on Monday,
for .1 udge and Solicitor of tlio new City Crimi
nal Court, Clifford Anderson, Esq., was elec
ted Judge, and W. L. A. Ellis, Esq., Solicitor.
Cheap Fish.
The Potomac fisheries are still doing a very
extensive business—they arc “glutting” the
neighboring markets with the very finest and
most palatable of the finny tribe, and at prices
that would sharpen the appetites of our Col
umbus beef-eating citizens. The Alexandria
(iazette says that shad are selling at $0 per
hundred, and herrings at $1.50 per thousand.’
bid you ever?—not at those prices, you didn’t.
Our shad season is over, and they only cost
our citizens at the rate of SOO to SIOO per
hundred. Trout are now selling licreat about
25 cents per pound, and the other day we saw
a rock fish, that would probably weigh about
JO pounds, for which the moderate price of
$4.50 was demanded. Fish can’t afford to
bite, or enter traps, in those waters, at ten
times the prico for which they throw them
selves away on the Potomac ; and if Ben John
son had lived on the Chattahoochee, ho never
would have been so green as to declare that
the bipod at the hut-end of a fishing rod was
a “fool.”
Douglas and Lane.
We noticed yesterday tho attempt of the
bogus Frcesoil “Senator” from Kansas to get
up a fight with Judge Douglas. These are the
particulars: Lane presented the so-called “con
stitution” of Kansas to Mr. Cass, by whom it
was laid before the Senate, at first received,
but afterwards kicked outbecause of the fraud
used in transcribing it and embodying it in a
memorial. J udgo Douglas, among others of its
falsities which he showed up, said that the
constitution really adopted contained a clause
prohibiting free blacks from sottling in tho
“free” State of Kansas, but that the copy sent
to the Senate did not contain the clauso. —
bane, in a scurrilous card, charged Judge
Douglas with falsehood, and attempted to clear
up this attempt at deception by stating that
the Frecsoil Legislature adopted the resolution
providing tor the exclusion of free negroes,
not as a part of the constitution, but as a se
parate proposition to be submittedat tho same
time to the people, and if ratified by tho popu
lar vote, succeeding Legislatures would have
the power to exclude free negroes, lly this
miserable subterfuge and quibble he sought to
convict Senator Douglas of falsehood, and de
manded a retraction or correction of his charge.
Every reader will see at once how shallow is
the artifice adopted by the bogus Legislature
and defended by Lane, because the resolution
providing for the exclusion of free blacks, if
sustained by the people, would to all intents
and purposes have been a part of tho constitu
tion, ami should therefore have been sent to
the Senate as a part of the constitution under
which Kansas asked for admission into the
Union. But the whole thing was acounterfeit
and fraud, sought to be smuggled into the
Senate in the guise of i memorial, and tran
scribed so that it could not be used inovidence
against the traitors, judge Douglas will de
grade himself and his State by noticing bane
iu any way, and we trust that ho has treated
his card and challenge with contempt. Had
we proper and energetic administrators of the
laws, Lane would have a little matter to “set
tle” according to a code quite different from
that of duelling, and which might end in a
drama of which he and theshorilf would be the
principal actors.
Supremo Court of Georgia.
The Milledgevillc Recorder publishes the
following as the times and places for holding
the terms of the Supreme Court, as prescrib
ed by an act of our last Legislature. It will
be seen that the court has to “push along and
keep moving” pretty fast to keep up with the
schedule :
Savannah, 2d Monday in Junuary and June.
Macon, 4th Monday iu January and June.
Atlanta, 4tli Monday in March and 2d Mon
day in August.
Athens, 4th Monday in May and November.
Milledgeville, 2d Monday in May and Nov.
Gov. Adams has refused to pardon McCombs,
who has been sentenced to death for killing
the Deputy Marshal of Columbia, S. 0., and
he is to he executed to-morrow.
PARTY VIEWS AND MOVEMENTS.
Mu. Fii.lmore Accepts —lion. John P.
Kennedy, of Maryland, (formerly of Mr. Fill
more’s Cabinet, and liis warm personal friend)
lias assured several politicians and presses,
that Mr. Fillmore will accept the nomination
for the Presidency tendered to him by the
American Convention. At the late meeting of
the Know Nothing State Convention of North
Carolina, a member announced this fact to the
body, and it unanimously adopted resolutions
ratifying the nominations of Fillmore and
Donelson. The Savannah Republican, too,
says that Mr. Kennedy assured the editor of
that paper that Fillmore would accept, during
his late stay in that city, and it has therefore
hoisted his name. A letter from Home, re
ceived by one of the last Steamers, announce
cd that Mr. Fillmore’s nomination had been
communicated to him in that city by a numer
ous delegation of friends, and says that it
“had not the least influence on him,” and that
he was “the most imperturbable man” the
writer ever saw.
Georgia State Council. —We loarn from
the Messenger, that this body, in session last
week at Macon, did not take any action in re
ference to the nomination of Fillmore and
Donelson, hut simply passed resolutions abol
ishing all obligations of secrecy, and recom
mending an open organization to the party,
also proposing to hold a State Convention at
such time as might be deemed expedient by
the Central Executive Committee. The Mes
senger says that the number of delegates was
small, but that they represented nearly every
part of Ae State, and that a sentiment cordi
ally favorable to the American nominees per
vaded the body.
The Democratic Convention.— We have
not, for the last few days, observed any move
ments calculated to affect the prospects of the
several aspirants for the Democratic nomina
tion at Cincinnati. But we notice that many
papers are speculating as to the most availa
ble and fit man to be taken up in case the
gentlemen now most prominent should nil be
set aside on account of the irreconcilable pre
judices of their respective friends. One ac
count from Washington states that Senator
ltusk, of Texas, has hosts of friends who
would rejoice to sec him taken up as a com
promise candidate. Another mentions lion.
Wm. Aiken, of South Carolina, (who ran Banks
so close for the Speakership,) as the man to
whom many delegates from all sections will
turn, in the event of the failure to secure their
first choice. Mr. Aiken is not a partisan, and
was regarded by the Southern Know Nothings
in Congress, as one of the least objectionable
and ultra Democrats in the House. We be
lieve that he stated, in a speech defining his
position, that he had some sympathy with the
American movement, so far as the simple
question of the evils of foreign influence in
our Government was concerned.
Dr. Gwinn, late Senator from California,
will, it is said, be supported for the Vice Pre
sidency by the California delegation.
The Atlanta Examiner comes out strongly
in favor of Judge Douglas, as the Democratic
nominee for tlio Presidency. The Intelligen
cer, of the same city, condemns the two-thirds
rule in party conventions, and thinks that it
ought to be abandoned—from which we infor
that it is for the re-nomination of President
Pierce.
The Black Republicans. —Fremont stock
is rising in this rotten concern. Seward, it is
said, has very few friends among the politi
cians congregated at Washington ; and Speak
er Banks positively declines being considered
a candidate.
Senator Jones, of Tennessee, well known as
a Whig leader in that State, publishes a letter
in the Washington Union, from which it is in
ferred that he has not yet decided whether he
will support the Democratic or tho Know No
thing nominees in the Presidential contest.
A number of Whigs met at Lexington, Ky.,
on Monday of last week, to re-organize the
old Whig party. An address and platform
were adopted, and the meeting adjourned to
meet in “Convention of the Whigs of the
United States to bo delegated by the people,
and held at Louisville on the 4th clay of July
next.
We learn from the last budget of Foreign
nows, that “the Spanish Government has con
ferred the order of the Golden Fleece upon
Napoleon’s son.” When we first heard of the
birth of this baby, we thought that a great
many sheep would be shorn to support and
sustain him, and we suppose that the insiguia
of the “Golden Fleece” is emblematic of the
fact. Perhaps his imperial daddy, like a cel
ebrated filibuster of old, has secured this
Golden Fleece by “crossing the Hellespont.”
Almost a Bain.
There was apparently a protracted contest
over head, all day yesterday, ns to the expedi
ency of a rain. At the time of closing our
paper it was hard to tell how the question
would be settled; but the dispute had been a
warm one, and our cool weather was dispelled
by it.
Fataula Circuit.
By the official returns, Col. David Kiddoo
is elected Judge of the Pataula Circuit, over
his competitor, James L. Wimberly, Esqr., by
eighty-scVeu majority. All the counties in.
Kiddoo 1457.
Wimberly 1370.
For Solicitor, David B. Harrell received
1484 votes, and Win. E. Mason 1259. Har
rell elected by 225 majority. —Milhdgevilk Re
corder.
The Weather and Crops.
We are in a drought which lias prevailed,
with very slight interruption, for the past four
weeks; and there is, at preseut writing,
(Monday) no promise of rain at all. Every
setting sun, on the contrary, has that lurid
appearance which is generally held to betok
en a dry time. Saturday and Suuday nights
were very cool—tho latter almost cool enough
for frost, and probably there was frost in the
low grounds.
This kind of weather is, of course, very un
favorable for cotton. It will not germinate
without rain—tho season is late, und, at least,
a very late “stand” only can bo anticipated.
As iu most of the cotton growing region, a
heavy crop can be predicated only upon an
early stand, the promise now is certainly not
one of abundance. —Macon Telegraph, April 21.
For tlio Daily Sun.
New Post Office Arrangement.
We wore much amused by a visit which we
paid to anew Post Office arrangement on Sun
day last, which has been established on the
lower end of Broad Street. It has been got
up for the purpose of evading the late Sunday
law established by the City Council; and in
our opinion, completely succeeds. In one end
of a room we discovered a row of boxes num
bered as drawers in the post office. Each one
of these boxes has a lock and key, and is rent
ed out at a certain rate per month ; the hold
er of each box leaves word on Saturday night
how much and what kind of liquor he wants
in his box on the following day, and a person
al visit will satisfy you that his wishes
are well attended to. Now this ought to be
sufficient to satisfy the city council how futile
are their efforts —and the injustice of closing
the barber shops and cigar stores, which are
matters of dire necessity.
Columbus, April 22, 1856. AJAX.
Additional by the Africa.
New York, April 1!*.
The Imperial Manifesto, dated St. Peters
burg, April Ist, says that although the war
had not been sought by Russia, it bad been
waged with great energy by the Russian peo
ple ; and that, notwithstanding peace had been
proclaimed, the rights of the Christians in the
East had been secured—thus attaining the
objects of the war on the part of Russia.
Special arrangements had been made to
prevent collisions between Russian and Turk
ish Vessels in the Black Sea.
Anew line of frontier had been agreed up
on in Bessarabia.
A letter from Constadt says that a squadron,
consisting of five steamers, had been ordered
by the Russian government to be. ready for
sea by the middle of next month, and it was
generally surmised that the Czar, or his bro
ther, would visit Louis Napoleon.
The Spanish’government had conferred the
order of the Golden Fleece on the Prince of
Algiers.
A fleet of Sardinian vessels had been order
ed to sail from Genoa, for the purpose of
bringing back troops from the Crimea. The
health of the French troops in tlio Crimea was
improving, and they were to return in bodies
of 20,000 men.
The Austrian army had been reduced 30,000
men.
The British squadron in the Baltic had been
recalled.
The authorized quotations of the Liverpool
Board of Brokers, were 6fd. for Fair Orleans,
6§d. for Fair Uplands, and 6 yd. for Fair Mo
bile. The Liverpool Circular of McHenry &
Cos., dated the 4th instant, quotes Middling
Orleans at 6 l-16d.
The London Advertiser speaks out very
plainly about the peace. It says that enough
has transpired to justify us in characterizing
the peace which has just been concluded, as
ouc which will bring discredit on the English
character, while it affords no guarantee for the
future independence of Tux-key or the general
tranquility of Europe. The ti-eaty is an abor
tion. The Advertiser anticipates a renewal
of the contest five years hence when England
will have to stand in a state of antagonism
against all the despotisms of the continent.—
The London Herald is about as bitter; even
Manchester is sulky. Nobody is satisfied, and
let governments do or say as they may, the
entente cordiale between the English and French
people has received a much more violent shock
than it did by the affair of the Spanish mar
riages under Louis Phillippe, for that was but
an affair of dynasties and reigning families.—
In the present case the nation—John Bull, in
dividually—feels himself jockeyed by his ally
and betrayed by his govei-nment, The alliance
was, at best, an unnatural one, which was kept
together by the pi-essure of the war, but which
cannot, in any cordiality, survive the conclu
sion of peace.
Louisiana.
The riaquemtnc Sentinel, of the 12th inst.,
says:
“ We were surprised to learn a few days
since of the utter hopelessness of the sugar
crop in this parish thecomingyear. The great
majority of planters absolutely anticipate rais
ing no cane whatever. A great many arc
ploughing up their cane fields and planting
them in corn and some in cotton. A ruinous
year, without doubt, for sugar, while accord
ing to all accounts, the cotton crop will be
greatly augmented. In West Raton Rouge,
we learn they are going largely in the latter
business—also on Bayou Marangouin, where
not a particle of sugar will be raised.”
Some Fish.
On Wednesday of last wee!:, one Fish Trap
caught between 800 and 1,000 Fish. It is the
same point in the river, occupied by General
Jackson, in 1812 and ’l3, when the United
States army was stationed at Fort Jackson, a
few miles below this place. Our town has
been almost inundated, and the overflow of
Fish, we believe has reached some of ourneiglt
bors.— Wctumpka Spectator.

A Steamship Attacked by a Sword Fish.
The San Francisco Herald, of March 9, says:
“ During the last passage of the steamer
Cortes from this port, a large sword fish was
observed alongside the vessel. Fora moment
the gladiator of the deep seemed to contem
plate the huge proportions of the vessel, evi
dently speculating upon the chances of battle,
then suddenly darted toward the vessel and
plunged its beak into the planking, just above
the copper. It struggled fiercely to be free,
but to no purpose, until the motion of the ves
sel, as she rolled over the other side with the
sea swell, caused a severance of the blade, and
his fisliship, wounded and disarmed in the first
charge, retired from the field. The piece of
the beak which was left in the side of the ves
sel measured eighteen inches in length. It was
removed with difficulty.”
Singular Phenomenon.
A most singular phenomenon, says the San
dusky (Ohio) Register, is now to be seen
around the docks in the water. Immense
numbers of white fish last fall were cleaned on
the docks, and the offal and spawn thrown into
the bay. This spawn has “hatched,” and now
around the docks may be seen millions of min
iature white fish. Here is a fact in the breed
ing of fish which the knowing ones ought to
investigate: for, if fish can be cleaned, and
from the spawn hatching can be induced, what
is the use of all the artificial arrangements
now proposed to propagate fish ‘!
The Mississippi Legislature have adopted
resolutions relative to the re-opening of wa
ter commnication between the Mississippi riv
er and the Gulf of Mexico, by way of Lake
Pontchartrain and Lake liorgne, and have re
quested members of Congress to secure, if
possible, au appropriation for the object.—
1 lie old channel was closed by Gen. Jackson,
as a military measure, designed to protect
the city of New Orleans against invasion by
the English in 1814-15.
Different Destinies of Two Brothers, J. C.
and Frank Fremont.
It seems to be settled now, says the Mont
gomery Mail, that Col. J. C. Fremont is to be
the Presidential candidate of the Black Repub
licans—the most detestable set of politicians,
not excepting the party of Robespierre and
Danton, in the French Revolution, that the
world ever knew. For the atrocities of the era
referred to, there was some very slight pallia
tion in the oppressions of previous systems
and wrongs inflicted liy the classes which were
so horribly revenged by the Parisian cut
throats. In the case of the American sans
culottes, the attempted revolution is softened
by no pretense of injury to its actors, and is
against all the instincts of race—while it is
demonstrated, by recent events at the North,
that their ferocity is as intense and as brutal
as the annals of revolutionary Paris can ex
hibit.
It is this party, that Col. Fremont now leads;
and Col. Fremont is a Southern-born man.—
Nay, lie is a Southern man, whose present
wealth and distinguished position are fairly
attributable to the social influences of the sec
tion upon which he is hereafter to make war.
Had he been a native of New England, in all
probability he would at this day have been
steeped in poverty and unknown to fame. If
Col. Fremont was not born in Charleston, he
was carried there at a very early age by his
mother and he certainly received there the
education which fitted him for subsequent suc
cess and distinction. lie was the protege of
the Ladies Benevolent Society of Charleston,
some members of which found the family in
great need and aided them. Young J. C. Fre
mont was discovered to have talent, and by the
interest of these same ladies, became the
beneficiary of a charity scholarship in Charles
ton College, lie was graduated there, with a
distinction, having shown (as we always heard,)
decided mathematical talent. Subsequently,
through the influence already mentioned, Air.
Poinsett was induced to get him an appoint
ment as a teacher of mathematics, on board a
national vessel; thence he was transferred to
the corps of Typographical Engineers—not
very long afterwards married a daughter of
lion. Thomas 11. Benton, and began his bril
liant and rapid rise. Every one knows liis sub
sequent history.
Col. Fremont had a brother, Frank, a year
or two younger, who went on the stage very
early. He was a blutf looking hearty fellow,
seeming very much more like a man destined
to military leadership, than his brother. For
some little time, Frank made a sensation and
got to bo called the “ Charleston Roscius”—
but gradually came to be considered merely a
stock actor. After he had been on the stage
some years, he married—in New York, as well
as we i-ecollect. Somewhere about 1838-0,
while playing an engagement in Buffalo, New
1 ork, he got into an abolition riot of some
kind, and, while fighting gallantly for South
ern principles, received a heavy blow on his
head which affected his brain. From this he
never recovered—the injury finally settled up
on his lungs and he died of consumption. He
continued to play, we believe, up to a few
days before his death, which we think occur
red in Columbus, Ga., in 1839. At any rate,
the writer of this found him there (with some
little trouble, as he was playing under an as
sumed name) having been charged with a mes
sage by his mother—who it may be remarked,
was a quiet, melancholy woman, greatly de
voted to her sons.
It is a little striking that these two brothers,
who wei-e born and reared on slave soil, should by
the merest accident, both have been so nearly
affected by abolitionism, personally. The one
is knocked on the head and “done for” by fa
naticism, while the other, makes a name infa
mous which had else been truly famous by
giving his influence to the miscreants who
wage an unholy war upon the institutions of
his own section and of a people who raised
him from his lowliness and placed him on the
high road to fame and boundless wealth. If he
ever thinks of his origin he must sec the depth
of an ingratitude almost sublime.
The Uncertainty of Law.—lmportant to
Newly Married Men.
A somewhat remarkable case, the parties in
which arc residents in this city, has just been
somewhat remarkably decided in the Supreme
Court. Inasmuch as it is a novel case, and
illustrative of the uncertainty of law, we will,
in brief, state the facts for the edification of
the public, and for the benefit of those inter
ested.
Drs. Shipman & Adams sued Dennis Wall
injustice’s Court by attachment, and thecon
stalile levied upon the trunk and personal
clothing ot IVall, who replevied the said pro
perty of the constable, claiming it as exempt
by law’ from seizure on attachment, on the
ground that he was a householder, and had a
family for which he provided. On the trial
of the attachment suit before the Justice the
plaintiffs failed to recover, on the ground that
Wall was not liable.
It appears that Wall was married on the 18th
of December last at 10 a. n., and the attach
ment was served and the property taken at 2
l*. M., and that he was expecting to go with
his wife on the train east, to Now York, on a
visit to his sister.
On the trial of the Replevin suit, at the last
Onondoga Circuit, the Circuit Judge nonsuited
the Plaintiff (Wall) on the ground that lie was
not a householder, and had no family for which
he provides, which decision was affirmed at the
late general term at Watertown. No opinion
was given by the Court, but it seems that a
man must go farther and do more than to mar
ry in order that his clothing should bo exempt
from execution. In thiscascitcannotbeclaim
ed the debt upon which the attachment was
issued was a valid one, as Wall bcatthe Plain
tiffs before the Justice on the merits in the at
tachment suit. —Sgracuse Journal.
“ Ah, Sambo,” said a sick planter to his at
tendant nigger, “ I fear Pm going, and I’ve a
long journey before me.” “ Neber mind, raas
sa,” was the encouraging answer, “ he’m all
down hill.”
A Libel.
We see a statement going the rounds of the
press, that the work entitled “ Courtship and
Marriage, or “The Joys and Sorrows of
American Life,” published by T. B. Peterson,
of Philadelphia, was written by the late Mrs.
Caroline Lee Hentz, of this place. We are
authorized by the children of the deceased,
to contradict it. It is shameful that such a
stigma should have been put upon the repu
tation of as gifted an authoress as Mrs. Hentz,
especially just after her demise. It was evi
dently done to give the book a sale. We hope
our brethren of the press will notice the fact
if only out of respect to the memory of the
deceased. —Marianna (Fla.) Patriot.
Cutting off Argument.
Lately, Judge Whiting, of the Supreme
Court of New York, being about to hold a
special term at Chambers, was somewhat
frightened at the array of law books by one
of the counsel engaged in a case. “What,”
said he, “is the amount involved inthissuit?”
“Two dollars may it please your honor.”—
“Well. I’ll pay it myself. Call the next case,
Mr. Clerk ?” Wonder how the lawyers felt?
