OOLUMI3TJB: Saturday Morning, April fill, 1 *.•>. LARGKBT CITY tIKCULATIOX. Destructive Fire. About 1 o'clock on Thursday night, a fire broke out in one of the frame houses on Ogle thorpe street, kept by Mr. Knight ns a drink ing mid eathig establishment. The tlnines spread with great rapidity, and quickly eu veloped the three small wooden buildings be tween Teiuporance Hall on the north and the dwelling house occupiei by Thos. DeWolf i proprietor of tliis paper) on the south. From these they speedily caught to the roof ot the latter house —an extensive brick building— mid to a two-story frame house in the rear of t lie building next to Temperance Hall, and all efforts to save them proved unavailing. There was very little wind stirring, but the extreme dryness of the atmosphere for so long u period rendered the wood-work very combustible, and in an almost incredibly short time the five buildings mentioned were entirely wrapt in thimes. Very little was saved from the frame buildings, but most of the furniture and other movable articles was removed from the brick house occupied by Mr. DeWolf. The window frames and snsh of Temperance Hall on the ■ outh side were burnt, but the building itself was saved from destruction or material injury. The firemen and citizens exerted themselves manfully h> arrest the flames and save the pro perly in the houses. Aided by the long and high brick side of Temperance Hall (which presented very little combustible material to the devouring element) and by the vacant puce south of the dwelling occupied by Mr. DeWolf, they succeeded in arresting the pro gress of the fire after the destruction of the five buildings mentioned. The small building next to Temperance Hall was occupied by Mrs. Acnchbackcr, and the house in the rear of it by some free negroes.— The other two wooden houses were in the oc cupancy of Mr. Knight. Thofirsttwo and one of the last named were owned by Seaborn ••ones, Esq.; tlio other wooden house and the brick building were the property of Dr. llobt. A. Ware. We suppose that the buildings were worth in all about $5,500. The brick house was not insured, and we have notlieard of any insurance on the others. The loss of furni ture (by fire, loss and breakage) in the brick building was probably about SSOO, which is divided between Messrs. DeWolf, Wm. E. Love and.). It. Hull, whose families occupied the house. The fire cannot easily be accounted for as an accident, and we learn that there are cireum ■ sauces which induce the suspicion that it was the work of au incendiary. The Weather and the Crops. As far ns wc have been able to learn, the late frosts have done no damage of conse quence in this vicinity, except the nipping of a few tender garden vegetables in locations pe culiarly exposed. Neither the fruit nor tho corn has been seriously injured. There was very littlo cotton up in the low grounds, and on the uplands there was not frost enough to Will. Rain is greatly needed, and some plan ters fear that their seeds lately planted will not germinate for the want of moisture. We have heretofore alluded to the great scarcity of sweet potatoes for planting, and the impossibility of obtaining enough to plant an ordinary crop. Wo now learn from farmers that a very large proportion of the potatoes thought to he uninjured, and bedded for sprouts, have not germinated. In some in stances not a sprout has put out from entire beds. It is hardly possible, under these cir cumstances, that one-fourth of an ordinary crop can he raised in this section of Georgia and Alabama, unless the season should admit of the planting and mature growth of cuttings from the few vinos that can he obtained from sprouts a contingency that appears to be al most hopeless at this advanced stage of the - oason and with the dry prospect before us. Though there lias been no rain in our own neighborhood this week, we are glad to learn that other sections in nearly all directions have been more favored. At Montgomery, on Wednesday, there was a rain which “ wet the ground quite thoroughly,” and the Mail thiuks it “ enough for the gardens and the crops.” The Augusta Constitutionalist of Thursday an nounces that “wo had a good rain yesterday afternoon in this vicinity,” We arc glad to see by the following editorial from tho Cassville Standard of the 24tli, that even as far north as :! 1:20 the frosts did not materially injure the crops, and seasonable rains have fallen: “ Since Saturday morning last wo have hud •i tight spell of cool weather, accompanied by light frosts, but little damage has been done, except near water courses where the frosts were heavier. “ The crops are very backward, but ns we have been favored with refreshing showers of rain within the last ten days, if the cool weath er ceases, as the prospect is good, a few days will bring about a great change for the better. “ Wheat looks poorly, but there is a chance for considerable improvement yet.” The following is from the Savannah Repub lican of Thursday : “We regret to learn from planters, that the young cotton in the seaboard counties has been considerably injured by the late cold weather, and especially by the slight frost of Monday morning last. In some localities, it is believ ed the crop will have to be replanted, either in whole or in part. This is the case as far as Camden county, beyond which our informa tion lines not extend.” The sand is n “ little damp ” yet in tho bed of our river, as was demonstrated yesterday morning by the arrival of the l). J. Day from Apalachicola at our wharves. She reports the cattish aground on many of the bars. * Lookout Mountain House. This house and pleasant watering place, as will be seen by reference to our advertising columns, will be opened for the reception of visitors on the first of June. Mr. Ashburu, the proprietor, has a reputa Fionas a caterer, equalled by few. Give him ! a call. A CARD. The undersigned, forhims If and for Messrs. Wm. K. Love, J. It. Hull and— Cowdery, (Messrs. Love and Hull being absent from the city,) returns sincere thanks to those citi zens who aided in saving the furniture and other movable property in the building occu pied by him, during the lire on Thursday night.

We noth as an item of po litical intelligence by the Arago, that “ Aus tria was raising difficulties in relation to the evacuation of the Principalities.” * - Georgia University. Wc are indebted to some friend for a copy of the catalogue of this institution. From it we learn that there are now in the University twenty-four Seniors, thirty-eight Juniors, thirty-three Sophomores, twelve Freshmen, and five in the Partial Course—total 112. Our State ought to make a much better show ing than this for her University; but we sup pose that the numerous high schools in other parts of the State are so well appreciated and so well endowed as to bo liberally patronized by parents seeking a thorough education for their sons. The Commencement is on the first Wednes day in August, when the Hon. Henry W. Hillard, of Alabama, will deliver the address before the two Literary Societies. Rev. 11. M. Palmer, of South Carolina, will address the Aldmni on the day proceeding Commence ment. A New Telegraphic Project. Mr. Elihu Burritt proposes anew route for connecting the old and new Worlds by tele graph. He proposes a line from New York to our Pacific Coast, and thence across Behr ing’s Straits into Russia. He says that Russia has already some sixty thousand miles of telegraph in operation, and that she will undoubtedly continue her lines across her whole broad territory, now that peace is concluded. He entertains no doubt that she will be ready to meet the United States half way, and perhaps more than half way, be tween New York and St. Petersburg- This really appears to be the most practicable plan proposed for uniting the two hemispheres, and is worthy of serious consideration.— St. Petersburg is already in communication with the principal cities of Europe by tele graph. Weldon, North Carolina, being the focus of several railroad linos of the Old Dominion, is a great place for the marriage of couples from Virginia. The knot is tied there in a hurry for those who haven’t time to get the “ old folks’ ” consent. The statistics show that the business at Weldon has been brisker this year than at any former period, and the largely in creased number of marriages shows that the ladies have freely exercised the peculiar privi leges of Leap Year. They must persuade the young men to dope from their anxious par ents, too, ns the marriages at Weldon are nearly all “ runaway matches.” Go it, girls, while bissextile lasts; for ma.ny of you may be considered old maids before its next re turn.

It applies as fully to this section as to Louisiana, and shows that our Spring drouth and backward vegeta tion are not local, but wide spread and gener al : We expressed the opinion the other day, that sucli a dry Spring never was known be fore in this country, but someone present re marked, that, “It wag just as dry last year.” We do not remember it. \t any rate it is so dry that tlie dust is almost stifling: vegetation must be suffering, ami we are told That on some farms in the country the ground is so hard as to render it impossible to plow.

Extra, el April 10. J A Battle with the Indians, in the Big Cy press, on the 7th inst., by Maj. Arnolds Command. The following intelligence was received by Col. Monroe, yesterday afternoon. M e compile the statements here given from Maj. Arnold’s report: Whilst scouting in the Rig Cypress, with the available force of his command, composed of Capt. Dawson, 2d Lieuts. Langdon and Gardner, Ass’t Surgeon Moore, and 108 en listed men, Maj. Arnold was attacked, on the Bth, by Indians, estimated from 80 to 100, who were lying in wait, in a thick cypress swamp, (water two feet deep,) about a halt a mile from -‘Hilly’s Town.” The first indi cation of their presence was a fire from them on the advanced guard, which was soon fol lowed by a full volley on the column. Com pany C., commanded by Lieut. Gardner, lead ing off, which, at that time, was not far of” the the advance guard. After exchanging some three hundred shots on both sides, a charge in front was ordered. At least 54 Indians ran towards ‘* Hilly’s Town,” and a number took to a dense cypress in the right. The cypress was charged, but no Indians were discovtred, although they were seen to go into it. Those who had re treated to the hammock, towards “ Hilly’s Town,” were then’ attacked. When within a short distance of the town, a large number of Indians were seen running east, towards an abandoned village, surrounded on all sides by a very dense liammock, except in front, where was a very large pond or swamp, covered with tall grass and about two feet of water. As this hammock was approached, the In dians fired a volley, which was returned by the advanced guard, under Lieut. Langdon. The enemy then ran to another hammock, half a mile to the north; the troops followed; the Indians there fired again, which was re turned; a charge was then made, before which the Indians retreated, and were pursued un til all traces of them were lost. The fight and pursuit occupied about six hours. The loss was private John Simms, Cos. L. 2d Art’y mortally wounded, ( survived about fifteen minutes;) Corp’l Joseph Carson, Pri vates John Muller, John Strobell, Cos. C. 2d Art’y; and Thos. Newton, Cos. L. Ist Art’y severely wounded, and Privates Silas M. Wat kins and Wm. Abbott, Cos, C. 2d Art’y, slight ly wounded. Several received shots in their clothing and liavresacks. What loss or injury the Indians sustained is not known, further than that blood was discovered on the bushes through which they retreated. Depredations in Levy County. | From tlie Ocala Companion, Extra of April 17.] We have just received information from Levy county, by’F. 51. Pittman, Esq., direct from the place of attack, that on Tuesday, the Bth inst., Mr. Enoch Daniels, a citizen of that county, left his home,} some nine miles South of Levy 0. 11., in search of hogs, and after proceeding about three miles, his dog which was running ahead stopped at a clump of palmettos, barked a few times and ran back considerably frightened. At that moment Mr. Daniels saw an Indian rise up from the palmettos to fire upon him, and as the Indian fired he turned his horse towards home. Just then nine Indians sprang from their hiding place, and uttering the most horrid yells, fired and rushed upon him. 1 sis coat was pierced by bullets, and the stock of his gun considerably shattered, but he was unhurt. After he had gone three or four hundred yards, he turned and saw two Indians very near him. One of them dodged to a small tree, and commenced loading. Believing that all their guns were empty, Mr. Daniels fired upon the Indian, who fell, and the survivor going to the assistance of the one who was shot, the chase was given over. The next morning a scouting party, twenty in number, among whom was our informer, started in pursuit. They found the spot as described by Mr. Daniels, a pool of blood by tho tree where the Indian was shot, and saw blood a long distance on their trail. The party followed several miles; but upon going some distance in the Gulf Hammock, whither they had traced the Indians, they’ were com pelled to turn back. Those acquainted with Indians, and their signs, concluded that there must be as many as fifty about there. This may be relied on as correct. Affairs in Kansas. The St. Louis Republican has a letter from a correspondent who has been traveling in Kansas, dated St. Joseph, April 2, from which we extract as follows : “ In a long and extensive ride through Kan sas, I found quiet so complete, that 1 am not a little surprised to see in Eastern papers such stirring accounts of great excitements and dis turbances pervading and agitating that Terri tory. One would think, from reading their portrayals, that a tearful storm was about to burst upon that devoted country, and incarna dine its emerald plains with human gore; while, in truth, a perlect peace and calm is every where supreme, and the rosy fingered goddess of the morn opens the portals of each coming day with a growing brightness. In a long peregrination on the Mosquito, the Kaw, the Grasshopper aud the Nemelia—the most beautiful and fertile portions of the coun try—l heard nothing but contemplated im provements in agriculture, the raising of stock kc. I saw one or two members of the recent Leg islature at Topeka, and tried to get from them some information of their action, but they seemed ashamed to speak of it, and avoided all categorical replies. 1 only gathered that they had met, and adjourned over to the fourth of July. The Circuit Court has taken these matters under its special care, and is moving slowly, but withunerringeertainty of justice, to award to disturbers of tiie peace and violators of law their just deserts. At Osawkee, last week, some revelations were made before the Grand .fury in regard to the “Regulators ’—an organized company at Lawrence, under Gen. Lane, whose sole pur pose was to resist the laws—which occasioned the finding of several bills of indictment against leading citizens. In every county the Grand Juries have con tinued to find bills of indictment against the judges of the lawless elections; and it is the intention of Judge Lecompte to follow up, to the extent of the law, all those who have noted in its violation and defiance.” - ■■ ♦ Reace in Europe.

A dispatch has been received in this city, from Princctown, Mass., which states that a bottle lias drifted ashore containing the infor mation that the steamship Pacific wason the Grand Hanks, with lier masts gone and other wise out of order, and that she required im mediate assistance, which was sent.

The Norfolk Herald of the 22d inst. con tains a long editorial concerning the appear ance of a 80a Serpent, seen by the captain of a coasting schooner a day or two since. As it is likely to prove quite as interesting as anything we could publish during the present great dearth of news, we subjoin the Herald’s account entire : Yesterday, Capt. Birse, of the schooner Eliza Ann Steele, informed us that while about five miles south of Great Egg Harbor, on his way to Norfolk, the vessel making about knots an hour, and the sea being very calm, his attention was called to an object in the water about 80 yards off, which he at first thought was a tree. On looking again, how ever, he perceived a ripple, and spray appar ently breaking over it. The watch being be low, he sent a boy, the only other person on deck, to bring his glass, and on examining the object through it he perceived that it was a monster. It had then erected its head, which was oval in form, some three feet above the water, and he could plaiuly see one of its eyes, which was very large and very sparkling, and surmounted by a huge bunch. The serpent had evidently become alarmed, and before he could adopt any measures to capture it, dis appeared, going down head foremost, and in doing so, gave Capt. B. an opportunity of see ing the whole of his body. He says the head of the animal was apparently very rough and knotted: but the rest of his body was very smooth and black, and his tail was flat like an eel’s. He supposed it to be at least forty feet in length and of tho diameter of a hogshead. As soon as it disappeared the captain threw the lead and ascertained that the depth of water was only five fathoms, and he says that no whale was ever seen in such shallow water, and lliat moreover he is an old whaler, has a perfect knowledge of the habits of porpoises, hi a k fish, sharks, &c., and could easily dis tinguish them. The living thing seen by him was none of these, and if it was not a sea ser pent then he does not know what it was. We tell tlie tale as it was told to us, and Captain Birse is willing to swear to it. Florida Railroads. Florida appears to have become fully alive to the importance of developing its latent re sources, by the construction of Railroads. No less than three companies are now simultane ously and actively engaged in railroad build ing. At the first glance, it would seem that our young sister was overdoing the thing, and that there necessarily must be some conflict among the various enterprises on foot; but upon inspection of the peculiar geographical position and conformation of the State, and a more intimate knowledge of the objects and direction of these roads, we are constrained to admit that there is necessarily no conflict, but on the contrary, that they harmonize with and afford aid to each other, as well as compose a scheme well adapted to confer lasting benefit upon the entire State. One of these roads starts from the Atlantic, and runs south to seek a Gulf outlet. Another commences at Jacksonville, on the St. Johns river, a tributary of the Atlantic, and runs westward sixty miles to Alligator, Columbia county, where the line is taken up by another Company and carried still further westward to Tallahassee, eventually to be extended to Pen sacola. The road first mentioned was com menced last fall; the other two this spring; and tlie grading ig simultaneously progressing trom Tallahassee eastward and from Jackson ville westward to the point of meeting, where they will constitute a continuation from the Atlantic to the Gulf, by a junction with the St. Marks at Tallahassee. The Legislature of tho State lias, by law, granted aid to the Com panies for the iron and equipments of their re spective roads, and lias also authorized county and town subscriptions to the capital stock of these roads, by a voteot the citizens, empow ering the corporate authorities to issue bonds, and requiring them to levy and collect such a tax as will pay the interest and redeem the bonds. Ibis provision was necessary, inas much as the capital of the county was, in a great measure, locked up in real estate, in ne groes, and other personal property, which was unavailable for this purpose. In several in stances the subscription has been voted, the people consenting to impose on themselves a tax to procure the facilities of transportation which their isolated position demanded, and which, compared with their present transportation tax to and from market, is a slight burden.— C/ms.
