The Georgia and Alabama Boundary Dine.
Several of our cotemporaries have been
somewhat “exercised” for two or three days
by a report that the Supreme Court of the
United States has decided that the Oswichee
Rend is the “great bend” in the Chattahoo
chee River, from the west side of which the
boundary line should run due north, throwing
Columbus west of the line and into Alabama!
The Montgomery Journal, of yesterday, thus
alludes to this matter:
“ if we have been informed aright, the
Georgia Commissioners at the original survey
for the boundary line insisted that the
Oswichee bend below Columbus was the great
bend intended, and used it as the point of de
parture. On running the line it was found
that Alabama would be entitled to some terri
tory east of the river. They then sought for
another bend up the river, and found one
which suited their purpose better at West
Point. Some litigation at Columbus in refer
ence to the claim of Georgia to jurisdiction to
high water mark on the west bank of the
Chattahoochee, brought the whole question,
we learn, on appeal, before the Supreme
Court—which decided, on reference to the
original papers, that the Oswichee bend was
the point designated in the original cession.
“Re this, however, as it may; our people
need not lay the “ Haltering unction to their
souls ” that they will ever get this territory in
dispute. Our neighbors are proverbial for
their love of land, and will never be likely to
let go their hold on a single furlong. How
ever, without any joking, the people of the
•one-horse village’ alluded to [meaning Mont
gomery] would bo delighted to see the Hegira
of the Columbus boys to the said burg,
whether they came “on masse” or in squads
—they will be equally welcome. The next
month brings the genial season for encamp
ments.”
The rumor which we heard in reference to
this matter (some two weeks since) was that
the Governor of Alabama had instructed the At
torney of that State to insist, before the Su
preme Court, upon the line running due north
from the Oswichee Bendas the true boundary,
and not that the Supreme Court had decided
the case in that way. We are not aware that
the case has been decided.
Wo presume that the question of boundary
now before the Supreme Court of the United
States is raised by the case of Howard vs. ln
gersoll, which involved the right of a citizen
of Alabama to build a dam and run a factory
on the west side of the river. If wc recollect
aright, the Supreme Court of Alabama decided
the question in favor of Ingersoll—affirming
that the usual current of the river, and not
the extent of high water, limited the jurisdic
tion of Georgia on the west; and wo think
that the United States Supreme Court over
ruled this deoision, and that the case has again
gone up to it on some other point which we
do not fully understand.
Mr. Robison’s Exhibition.
We were at Temperance llall for a short
time on Wednesday evening, to witness the
close of the term of Mr. A. V. ltobison’s
dancing school. The dancing exercises of hii
pupils were indeed beautiful and elegant, and
attested the care and proficiency of an accom
plished instructor. At the close of the exhi
bition, Miss Laura Nance, on behalf of the
young ladies of the class, presented Mr. Rob
ison with a beautiful silver pitcher as a testi
monial of their regard and appreciation of his
labors, to which he responded in a very neat
and feeling address. The best order and
good feeling prevailed throughout.
‘l’ho Way it was Done.
A week or two ago wo alluded to the act of
the Sheriff of Walker County, Ala., in hang
ing a prisoner in spite of a reprieve from the
(loveruor. The Selina Sentinel gives a version
of the affair which shows that it will be diffi
cult to hold the Sheriff to account in uny way,
as the reprieve itself did not reach him before
the hour of the execution, but only a messen
ger from the Governor informing him that it
had been seut by mail —thus almost making it
sure that it would not arrive in time. The
Sentinel says:
“After dispatching the momentous docu
ment John Anthony concluded that it could
not, by Mr. Postmaster General Campbell’s
uncertain mails, reach the destination in time
to save the neck of the culprit, and he there
fore dispatched a messenger, a Mr. Kendall,
in post haste for Jasper, with a message to
the sheriff to put off the execution, as the re
prieve was on its way and would soon he re
ceived by him. The Sheriff received this
communication a short time before the hour
hied for the execution. The Sheriff asked
the messenger from Gov. Winston, where is
the reprieve? The reply was, that it will be
here by the next mail. ‘ Mail li—l!’ said the
Sheriff ; ‘ why in the damnation didn't you
bring it with you ?’ * Because,’ said Mr. Ken
dall, ‘the Governor didn’t give it to me.’
• Very well, then,’ said the Sheriff, with a fixed
determination in his look, ‘that may do for
Winston ;he has been making himself ad and
fool all the winter by vetoing the bills of the
Legislature, but G—d d—n him, he can’t come
it here. The Judge has pronounced sentence
on this fellow, and hero are people who have
come more than twenty miles to see him hung,
and by G—d I mean to hang him.’ And in
accordance with this determination he pro
ceeded to hang the culprit according to she
sentence of the Judge.’’
Books of subscription to the capital stock
of the Bank of Fulton, to be located at At
lanta, were opened the other day, and $150,-

necessary amount was paid in cash, and the
Bank will commence operations as soon as
possible.
Monarchical Fooleries.
The childish absurdities perpetrated in the
royal courts and among the titled officials of
Europe, on the occasion of the two yreat events
of the day—the conclusion of peace and the
birth (real or pretended) of a male heir to the
French throne—vrfttild lead to a popular re
buke that would he content with nothing short
of the general extermination ot royalty, if the
people possessed either intelligence enough to
see through the follies and imbecility of their
rulers, or spirit enough to rid themselves of
the incubus of hereditary nobility. The peace
that has been “patched up” is generally un
derstood (though its terms have not been made
public) to be as arrant a specimen of humbug
gery and deception as was ever palmed off up
on nations of Idols and slaves. The hard places
have been “skipped” or disposed of by some
silly compromise which makes the wording an
apparent victory for one power, but in reality
gives the substance to the other; and ques
tions which eouhl not readily he disposed of
in this way have been thrown out or reserved
for some future negotiation which may or may
not settle them. While great principles and
questions of national honor and progress have
been thus lightly disposed of, some little inci
dental gewgaw or childish toy is invested with
supreme importance and cherished as a great
memento of history and civilization ! Witness
the importance attached to the pen witli which
this farcical peace treaty was signed, as dis
closed by the Inst foreign news :
“ The eagle pen with which the treaty of
peace was signed, was pulled from a wing of
the imperial eagle in the .Jardin des Plantes.
The statement that it was ornamented with
precious stones is contradicted. Immediately
after the signature the pen was attached to a
sheet of pasteboard, and surrounded by the
seals of each of the Powers represented at the
Congress, and by the signatures of the Pleni
potentiaries. M. Feuillet do Conches, the chef
dn bureau of the protocols, wrote underneath
as follows : “1 certify that this pen was pull
ed by me from tho imperial eagle of the Jardin
lies Plantes, and that it is the pen which was
used for the signature of the treaty of peace
of March, 1850.” The pasteboard was after
wards framed and glazed to be presented to
the Empress.”
But the birth of the royal babe has called
forth even more rampant folly and puerile
snobbery than the treaty of peace. The rep
resentatives of all the powers caused the im
perial sulutes to be returned by salvos of artil
lery and illuminations,and “congratulations”
from every quarter poured in to swell the cry
ot exultation which all Europe raised over the
addition of this suckling brat to the family of
royal simpletons and unscrupulous usurpers
who lord it over the toiling millions, ltwould
seem as if the press would never tire of re
cording the ceremonies and absurdities of the
occasion. Among the congratulations came a
benediction from the Pope, sent by telegraph,
(establishing anew medium for blessing and
prayer,) which is rendered in these words :
“ I bless the Emperor, the Empress, the Im
perial Infant, and France.” The baptism, it
is said, is to be a most magnificent pageant,
and it will no doubt display the same absurdi
ties and mockeries in tho “ face of high hea
ven” that have characterized the demonstra
tions so far. It is reported, however, that the
Pope will not in person christen the royal
babe, but will send a deputy. Punch having
burlesqued the follios of the occasion by a pic
ture representing the Emperor rocking the
cradle of the infant, while the Goddess of/lib
erty approaches and asks “May l be godmoth
er?” its circulation has beenforbidden in France,
and tho copies containing the caricature have
been seized. It is gravely announced that the
Emperor has “ ordered the nurse not to kiss
the baby,” and indeed the French press mag
nify the entrance of this youngster upon his
very doubtful career into a grand jubilee and
era of national thanksgiving.
And all this transpires in the sixtieth cen
tury of human life and progress !
The Defeat ol’ Schlesuinger.
It will he seen by a telegraphic despatch of
the news by the Charles Morgan ( which
steamer carried out two hundred men for
Walker, and has now returned to New Or
leans) that the worst account of the defeat of
Schlcssinger, Walker’s officer, has been fully
confirmed, and that he is on trial before a
courtmartial for cowardice and treason. The
Montgomery Mail is informed by a gen
tleman who became acquainted with him
while Lopez’s expedition was iu Cuba, that
Schlessiuger is a Hungarian and was one of
Kossuth's officers: he attached himself to a
company raised in New Orleans to go to the
assistance of Lopez in Cuba, but was de
tained by the lack of transportion until his
leader was routed. The Mail's informant
thinks him a brave man and in many respects
a capable officer.
We suspect that it will be found that Euro
pean officers are not the men to lead Ameri
can volunteers in any dangerous enterprise.
Our enthusiastic young men do not come up
to their ideas of discipline; and they are too
much afraid to risk any decided stroke with
troops whose “training” is so superficial that
they would hardly be considered a respectable
rabble in Europe. Thus the leader has not
confidence in his command, and knows not of
the impetuosity and daring characteristic of
our volunteers.
Though Schlessiuger's reverse is confirmed
beyond question, this arrival brings news
rather more cheering for Walker. He muster
ed a very respectable force, and the slight
engagement reported shows that his men arc
not disheartened. Wc have every reason to
infer, too, that the new recruits have joined
him before this time, and will materially
strengthen his cause.

Another Election for Solictor.
It will be seen by a notice published in an

Attorney will be held on Saturday the lid of

“No rain” carried the day at the election

“the country will be ruined” unless we can
bring about a ‘change in some way. We are
decidedly in the midst of a “crisis, and our
bread anil butter depends on the result.

Columbus, April 23, 1856.
Editor Sun : Your issue of the 22d inst. men
tions the loss of the steamer Cuba, one of the
regular packet boats plying between Mont
gomery and Mobile. Ymireorrespondentfail
ed to state the facts, first, that she was bound
up the river, instead of down : secondly, she
sunk at 12 o’clock instead of 9. The lady who
was returning to Coosa county, Ala., from Tex
as, had five children instead of three, all of
whom, together with their mother, were
drowned. There were at least eight negroes
drowned, besides many others who were miss
ing up to !t o’clock Sunday morning. Amongst
the cabin and deck passengers the number
missing was larger than that which was sup
posed to he drowned, to say nothing of the
crew, not more than half of whom had been
found. The general opinion of the passengers
saved, was that at least 25 persons were drown
ed, and that the number was more likely to
exceed than fall short of it. I was on the boat
at the time she sunk, and was barely able to
save myself. The boat and cargo are a total
loss ; not a single trunk or a bundle of bag
gage was saved free of damage ; many of the
passengers lost every thing, and but few re
covered any portion of their money; thebooks
and papers of the boat were also lost. The
boat sunk in less than oue minute from the
time she was generally known to have been
snagged. D.
Remarkable Discoveries in Oregon and
Washington Territories.
Dr. Herman Ellenborgen, a German natu
ralist of distinction, and lately attached to
Gov. Stephens’ expedition, communicates the
following to The San Francisco Herald.
Among the discoveries of the expeditions
organized by Government for the survey of
the railroad routes to the Pacific coast, those
in natural history are among the most inter
esting. Indeed, had no other result been ob
tained than the contribution to science, the
expense would still be amply repaid.
* * -x- x- *
Most of our readers have, I presume, laugh
ed over the story of the Yankee who adver
tised for exhibition those extraordinary quad
rupeds, the l’rock and Gyascutus, but I sus
pect that very few ever heard of the origin of
his description or founded on fact. If I re
collect right, the first person who made men
tion of them, although not by name, was
Capt. Jonathan Carver, whose voyage to the
ltocky Mountains in 1605, is quoted by Mr.
Greenbow, and in whose book the name of
Oregon was first given to the river now known
as the Columbia.
Carver, in his appendix, describing the va
rious animals inhabiting that region, states
that: “In the country of the Osnoboins (As
sinoboins) there is a singular beast, of the
bigness of a horse, and having hoofs, whereof
two legges on oue side are alwaies shorter
than the other, by which means it is fitted to
graze on the steep slopes of the mountains.—
It is of amazing swiftness, and to catch it the
savages doe head it off; whereby it cannot
run, but falls over and is so taken.” And
further: “1 was also told of one which I did
not see. This is like to a bear in size, but
covered with a shell as is the tortoise, with
many horns along its back. It has great
claws and teeth and is exceeding fierce, eat
ing man and beast.”
The recent scientific examinations connect
ed with the Northern Pacific Railroad explo
ration and survey, have finally put at rest the
question of the existence of these tw’oanimals,
and my acquisition of perfect specimens Ims
demonstrated their entire accordance with the
usual laws of nature and their singular adap
tation to the circumstances under which they
live.
The Prock (I‘eroetun Oreyomcnisus ) is about
the size of a mule, and like the quagga and
zebra, is properly to be included in the genus
equus, having entire hoofs. Its structure dif
fers, however, from that of any known ani
mal in the mode of articulation of the shoul
der and hip joints. This peculiar formation
allows to the limbs a degree of lateral mo
tion, enabling the animal to elevate or de
press them at will; thus when standing upon
| a sloping surface giving it the appearance of
obliquity, as described by Carver, and ena
bling it to run with singular swiftness along
steep mountain sides, where otherwise an
animal of its size would find no foot-hold.
In fact, it is hardly surpassed in agility by
the bighorn or Rocky Mountain goat. 1
need scarcely say that the tradition of its be
ing unable to turn, and the consequent meth
od of capture are mere inventions. It was to
this mistake, however, that it has its Greek
| appellation, derived from a verb signifying to
run round, as it was supposed to encircle the
i mountains iu its course.
I’lie Gyascutus (Washiugtonieusis Nobis,)
was believed by Carver to be a beast of prey.
It is, however, a rodent, partaking also of the
! characteristics of the Tardigrada, to which
; belong the Sloths, and notwithstanding its
great strength and terrible appearance, is
t perfectly harmless, ’.ts food consisting chiefly
j ol the roots ol the ciwuusUi csculentia , which
’, ts Powerful nails enable it to dig with great
facility. This extraordinary animal is about
three feet in bight, and nine in extreme
length, its corrugated tail being about one
loot. Its baek is covered with a shield, com
posed of scales, or rather plates, of an osseous
substance imposed upon a pachydermatous
hide: forming a flexible but secure armor,
and having along the dorsal plates a row of
short and powerful horns, slightly recurved,
which extend from the shoulders to the loins,
from these the carved dishes and spoons so
common among the Indians of the North, are
manufactured, and it was these also that sug
gested the name of the animal itself. Your
classical readers will at once recall the “fortis
Gyas, fortisque Coanthus’’of Virgil, and the
description given in the fourth book of the
A'.ueid of the buckler carried by the former
in battle. It was the Gyatcitlim, or shield of
Gyas, formed of the scales of some poetic
monster; from which Geoffrey derived the ap
pellation of this animal, to which 1 have now
ndded the specific designation.

French Intervention in Hayti.
It appears (says the N. Y. Herald) that the
French Government lias just appointed Mr.
Consul Dillon Consul-General at Port-au-
Prince. This is the gentleman, it will be re
membered, who made himself so conspicuous
at the Sandwich Islands, and afterwards at
San Francisco, by furthering the designs of
the French and annoying Americans. At San
Francisco lie winked at the enlistment of men
for the Mexican Government, under an im
pression that he was thus checking the expan
sion of the United States; but the authorities
got hold of him, and he eventually lost his
office, and was for some time under a bond.
His affair was settled by Mr. Mason at last,
and another Consul sent to San Francisco.
Now, it appears, Mr. Dillon is transferred to
a higher sphere of duties at Port-au-Prince.
One cannot help coupling the appointment
of this violent anti-American to the important
office he is to hold at Port-au-Prince with the
reported landing of twelve thousand French
troops at Guadaloupe. Are the French going
to take this hemisphere in hand after all ?
Later from Nicaragua.
New Orleans, April 22.
Col. Schlessiuger’s defeat has been confirm
ed. Fifty men were killed in the engagement,
and the remnant of his force had arrived at
Rivas. The cause of the defeat was the total
disregard of the usual precautions to prevent
a surprise, and the cowardly conduct, it is al
leged, of Schlessiuger, which communicated a
panic to the men. Some of the passengers by
the Charles Morgan report that Walker was in
a good position, and receiving large accessions
to his forces. An engagement had taken place
at Aritopoka between fourteen Americans and
two hundred Costa Ricans, in which the latter
were defeated and thirty killed. Col. French
had reached San Juan in high dudgeon, and
chartered a schooner to carry him, his print
ing office, and all his effects, to Aspinwalb—
The cause of his quarrel with Gen. Walker was
unknown. It was reported that Walker, at
the head of 700 men, was marching to meet
the Costa Ricans, who expected to invade Ni
caragua. The accounts are meagre and possi
bly unreliable, but affairs decidedly have a
strange look.
Close Calculation.—A Singular Cat .
A man seventy-three years of age recently
died in the Indiana penitentiary, of an utfec
tion of the heart. He was a miser, was in
carcerated for a forgery of $25, and has left
a fortune of SIOO,OOO. He denied himself
the smallest luxury beyond the prison fare,
and at the time of his arrest he was tendered
counsel, who pledged themselves to clear him
of the charge for the fee of SSOO. To this the
old man replied, that “if convicted, the sen
tence would only be for two years, and he didn’t
think he could make his expenses and two
hundred and fifty dollars a year out of the
penitentiary, and it would cost him nothing
to live there, and he would save that much
anyhow !”
The editor of the Philadelphia Christian
Chronicle, Baptist, has been fined $3,000 for
libel on llev. Mr. Newell, agent for the Bap

said that “he had no confidence in the com
