COLUMBUS: KrMay Wonting, April St., IHSU. I.AKUKST CITY OKCIJIiATIOS. Death of Mr. Ridgway. Mr. .Joint I. Riilgway, of the firm of ltidg way, King & Sorsby, died in this city yester day morning. The deceased was extensively known and highly esteemed, not only in this community, but wherever the large business of the firm of which ho was a member ex tended. Ily his death our city loses one of its most enterprising and liberal business men, and his numerous friends are bereft of the society of an estimable and useful man. His funeral will take place this morning ut HI o’clock, at the Methodist Episcopal Church. —♦ 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,- 000 were subscribed in a few’ hours. The 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. Congressional. Washington, April 21. The proceedings of Congress to-dav were un important. In the Senate Mr. Clay spoke up on Kansas affairs. Another Election for Solictor. It will be seen by a notice published in an other column, that another election for City Attorney will be held on Saturday the lid of May, when a plurality will elect. “No rain” carried the day at the election field overhead on Wednesday, and the victori ous sun came out yesterday in all the pride and glory of a conqueror. In the language,ot politicians, we arc inclined to believe that “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. Atlanta Election. For Judge of the Criminal Court, there was no election, neither candidate having a ma jority. The vote stood—Win. Jl. Underwood 253, J. 1. Whitaker 188,G. B. Haygood 102. L. C. Simpson was elected Solicitor, by 850 votes to 186 for N. .1. Harmoml. Another election for Judge is to be held to-morrow. 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.

Ridgway, one of our worthiest citizens, for many years known to our community as an upright merchant and good man, has been removed from the sphere of his usefulness and family by death : Resolved, That as Warehouse men, and most intimately connected with him in business, we can in sympathy offer our condolence to his bereaved family. Resolved, That we close our places of busi ness to-morrow from 9 until 1 o’clock, in order to give a slight manifestation of our high ap preciation of the man and becoming respect to his memory by attending the funeral services. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of our deceased friend and published in the city papers. Ruse, Patten & Cos., Hughes & Daniel, Greenwood & Grimes. Stewart, Gray & Cos. Columbus, April 24, 1856. 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.
