COLUMBUS: Tlmi-sdny’ Morning’ April !44, lN.'iO. 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? OOMMEROI^ OFFICE OF THU Din v Columbus, Ou., April The sales of cotton yesterday reached about , at stiff prices.
