COLUMBUS:
Wednesday Morning* April 30,1850.
LARUEHT CITY CIUCJULATION.
A Plentiful Supply ol Water.
We wituesaed a very successful experiment
made on Monday evening to teat the practica
bility ol pumping water iroia the river into
the cistern. 4 in our streets. Ihe experiment
was made by the engine companies with their
hose connected, forming a conduit of some
I.,()() f eo t. The water was pumped to the
upper story of the Eagle Factory on the river,
by the act.on of its water wheel, and was
thence conveyed by the hose to one of the
large cisterns on Broad street—conveying and
ejecting a stream of the full capacity of the
hose, and filling the cistern in a very short
time. We presume thnt fully one hundred
gallons per minute was by this arrangement
discharged from the river into the cistern, and
it was evident that with a hose of larger di
ameter and greater strength any desired
stream could he supplied. It is now evident
that our city can very promptly and cheaply
be supplied with any qantity of water, and
that we shall no longer have to rely upon the
tedious labor of hauling, or on the house-tops
ami gutters in a season of rain (which, as we
are now experiencing, does not always come
at our bidding.) But, to make this plan avail
aide, the city needs some two thousand feet
of large and strong hose, and we trust that
no mistaken notion of economy will delay its
procurement for a single day. Larger cisterns,
or tin additional number, are also desirable.
Walker’s Victory over the Costa llicans.
The accounts which have reached us of the
important battlo of Rivns are very meagre as
yet, and will he found in another column. The
Savannah Republican states that according to
the oflicinl report the loss on Walker’s side was
58 killed, 03 wounded, and 17 missing. We
learn, also, from an extract which it takes
from El Nicaragueuse, that the Costa Ricans
had not been dispersed, but had “again re
turned to the field of their disaster” —from
which we infer that another tight for the field
must ho had. The enemy occupied an impor
tant and commanding position in Nicaragua,
enabling them to cut off or retard recruits and
supplies for Walker, and seeming to make their
dislodgment a matter of pressing necessity.—
We do not, therefore, feel greatly elated at
this victory by ourcouutrymcn, brilliant though
it was, and achieved against lioavy odds.
The murder by the Costa llicans of unarmed
American settlers and workmen at Virgin Bay,
and the protest of our Minister Wheeler in re
ference thereto, add anew difficulty to the
contest. The slaughter of the employees of
the Transit Company must have been a very
cold-blooded and uujustifiablo deed, and calls
for reparation and atonoment. The reader
will hardly fail to notice Col. Wheoler’s signif
icant declaration that Mora is “ aided by in
sidious and powerful allies” (meaning, we sup
pose, Groat Britain and France). May we
venture to hope that Secretary Marcy will
sustain and back our Minister, with tho spirit
Incoming American honor and pride ?
Tho Baptist State Convention.
We observe but little of interest in the
proceedings of this body at its sessions on
Saturday, as reported in the Savannah pa
pers. In the morning, the Treasurer made
his report, which indicated a healthy finan
cial condition, a laudable 7.cal in missionary
enterprise, and the fact that Mercer Universi
ty is, perhaps, thebest endowed denomination
al Institution in the Southern country. Funds
belonging to the University, are sl4<>, 797,74.
Income this year, $12,50000.
In connection with the reading of that
portion of tho report relating to Mercer Uni
versity, Rev. P. 11. Mell, former Professor of
Languages, asked for the appointment ot’ a
committee to investigate the relations between
himself and the Board of Trustees. After a
warm debate, tho committe was ordered.
At the afternoon session, ltev. J. P. Tustin,
agent of the Southern Baptist Publication
Society, located at Charleston, made an earn
est appeal to the Convention in its behalf.—
Ho stated that with the very meagre amount
of means at its disposal tho society had pub
lished between forty and fifty volumes, —that
to carry on its work successfully $25,000
were now demanded and must be obtained in
valid subscriptions by tho first of June; that
$5,000 had been pledged in the State of
South Carolina, —$5,000 in the city of
Charleston—ss,ooo in Alabama, $5,000 were
expected from Georgia, and tho like amount
from Virginia. Strong speeches were made
by the Agents, Messrs. DeVotie and Hender
son of Alabama, and Ryerson of Augusta.
The result was to run up Georgia’s subscrip
tion to $4,200.
Delegates to the conventions of South Caro
lina, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee ami Vir
ginia were appointed.
At the meeting held at night in behalf of
Domestic Missions, a collection of SBOO was
taken up.
Hon. Jen* Clemens, of Alabama, it is said,
is writing a novel founded upon incidents in
the revolutionary history of the South. Col.
Clemens is a writer of fine imagination and
splendid descriptive powers, and we doubt
not that a work of that character from his
pen would be exceedingly popular.
■
We see that the Mormons nre holding meet
ings in the several counties of Utah, and call
ing for a convention to form a State constitu
tion and ask for admission as a State. They
say that they have a population of some 100,-
000. As Congress has a right to refuse ad
mission as a State to one of its Territories,
properly applying, only when its constitution
is nnti-republican, the question will come up,
is polygamy republican ? It certainly has rep
resentatives, and provides for the greatest number
—of wives!

What has become of the rats?—that’s the
important question.

Shanghai Stories.
Since the introduction of this Chinese fowl,
their freaks and habits have furnished not a
few “items” for newsmongers. The laughable
awkwardness and decidedly foreign crow of the
imported chickens at first furnisued no little
amusement; and now that the bird has be
come Americanized, its strange habits and pe
culiarities are still regarded with wonder—as
if we could expect the Chinaman toadapt him
self at once to the dissimilar civilization and
fashions current among cliickcndom in Ameri
ca, and emerge from his skill a full-blooded
democrat and filibuster. The expectation is
unreasonable, and wo are not surprised to hear
that John Shanghai often makes a failure in
imitating the manners and customs of Brother
Jonathan. Among other little discrepances of
this kind, we notice the following in our ex
changes: Mr. T. D. Liddy has furnished the
Petersburg Express with two eggs laid at the
same time and connected together at the apex
of each by a short stem, making them look like
two pearson the same twig. They were laid by a
half-breed Shanghai hen, and Mr. L. says that
she lays two similar eggs every day! Perhaps
she is illustrating the connection that ought
to exist between China and America. The
Tuskaloosa Monitor has been showna chicken,
just from the shell, which had fourperfcct and
well developed legs, and is the first feathered
quadruped the editor ever saw. We think that
it was produced to typify the better under
standing we are to have with China one of
these days. A Cochin-China fowl lately killed
in Great Britain had in his craw a marble, a
thimble, a brass button, several pieces ofdelf,
and not less than nine pins, and the bird was
hearty, plump and fat! Thereby he illustrated
to a fraction the rapacity and greediness of the
British Government, as well as the diversity
and incompatibility of its possessions. The
marble is Ireland, the thimble Canada, the
brass button her brazen pretensions in Central
America, tho several picecs of delf represent
as many* kingdoms wrosted from India, and
the nine pins as many islands in every quarter
of the globe.
Truly the China fowl is a wonderful bird,
and wonderful arc its productions !
At one of the paper mills near Raleigh, N.
C., they are making paper from broomstraw.
W'e do not know its quality; but if the broom
straw alone will make paper of even a dark
shade, we should think that when mixed with
the waste and unmatured cotton left every
winter on the stalks, a whiter and superior
article could bo produced.
The Ashville Spectator proposes to have the
Know-Nothing Electoral tickets for next No
vember printed on paper made from tho
broomstraw, as it thinks its party would then
be able to make a clean sweep. Perhaps so;
but the hard Democracy sticks very firmly to
the platform, and there is a great deal of free
nod in the way.
The Wreck on which the Cuba ran.
On Saturday we were informed by one like
ly to know positively, that in point of fact the
Empire wreck had changed its position and
caused tho accident. The channel is very
narrow at this point and tho running is ne
cessarily closo to the old wrecks.
The original cause of all this loss of life and
property is an “old, forked oak log, with a
large round knot at the fork.” On this knot
the Sam Dale once hung and ground a
hole in her bottom; getting out of the scrape
only by throwing over 800 bags of cotton.—
Subsoqently, the Sunny South, Aberdeen,
Empire and Cuba have been destroyed in con
sequence of its being there. It is estimated
that this old log has cost tho country a num
ber of precious lives and about $150,000
in property destroyed and damaged.
It was a mistake, the report that the Cuba
was insured. She is a dead loss to Cox,
Brainard & Cos., tho owners of the line to
which she belonged.— Montgomery Mad.

Avery large number of cases were disposed
of last week in our Circuit Court. Judge
l’ettus has put his shoulder to the wheel hi
earnest, and the car of justice, almost stalled
in tho mire of delay, moves with unwonted
speed. Tho State docket was taken up cu
yesterday, and will probably consume very
nearly the whole week. The call of the civil

1. S. CITIZENS KILLED.
COE. \YIIEELEIt.I PROTEST.
From the Savannah Journal of Monday.
We have received by the Isabel, which touch
i ed off this port yesterday, glorious news from
Central America. Our correspondent sends
I us full details of the battle of Rivas, fought on
the 11th inst., between a force of 600 led by
Walker and 2.000 Costa Ricans. After a des
perate and lung continued struggle, the enemy
were repulsed with the loss of 000. That of
Walker was thirty killed and as many wound
ed.
The Costa llicans are in possession of the
Transit Isthmus Route, and express their de
termination to exterminate every American in
the country. They have destroyed by tire, the
Transit Company’s Warehouse, built at a cost
of $120,000.
Another item of exciting Interest is an ac
count ot the slaughter on the 7th April, of a
number of unarmed citizens of the United
States, by the Costa llicans, at Virgin’s Bay.
They were in the employment of the Transit
Company. Nine are said to have been killed,
and several wounded. This outrage has call
ed forth tho following protest by Mr. Wheeler,
the American Minister, addressed to President
Mora. The facts in relation to the outrage
are substantiated by affidavits regularly sworn
to.
Legation of the U. S. A., near i
Republic of Nicaragua, t
Granada, 14th April, 185 G. j
bir : The inclosed statement shows me a
state of tacts which you are already aware of;
that on the 7th inst., unarmed and inoffensive
citizens oi the United States were cruelly
butchered at Virgin Bay by tho troops under
your immediate command.
1 have also seen your Proclamation, that all
persons taken with arms in their hands shall
be immediately shot, and another that all
American citizens shall be immediately driven
out of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
To prove tho sincerity of your first Procla
mation you append a list of persons who were
taken prisoners at Santa Rosa and shot on the
2otlx ult. Among them 1 find the names of
Isaac A. lloss and John J. Gidin, natives of
the United States.
1 have no right, and certainly no disposition
to interfere in any way with the unhappy win
now raging between two sister Republics.—
Lut it is my right, as well as my duty, to in
form you, as the Chief Magistrate of Costa
Rica, that the acts of murdering in cold blood
unarmed American citizens, who are in no
wise connected with any belligerent act or par
ty, is an offence against the law of God, of hu
manity, and of nations.
This offence is no less aggravated by the
fact that those who committed so wanton an
outrage were under your immediate command,
that you were on the ground and did not pre
vent it, as it was in your power to do.
I would remind you of the letter of Mr. Mo
lina, the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of your Government, near the
Government of tho United States, dated Wash
ington city, 12th December, 1854, to the Sec
retary of State ol the United States, wherein
he states that “the laws of Costa Rica are ex
ceedingly liberal (on the subject of granting
lands) and afford great facilities to emigrants
who would come to Costa Rica and fix their
residence there.”
The treaty between the United States and
Costa Rica, made in 1851, in the 12th article
guarantees to citizens of the United States re
siding in Costa Rica in their persons and pro
perty the protection of your Government.
Under these inducements and guarantees
citizens of the United States have come and
settled. What excuse can he ofFered, or how
will you appear in the eyes of the world, when
you publish n Proclamation expelling these same
persons without being guilty of any crime,
and murdering them without any mercy ? ’
In the name of the people of tho United
States and tho Government thereof, 1 protest
against such infamous conduct, and be assured
Sir, that the Government of the United States,
aided as you may be by insidious and powerful
allies, will enquire into such acts of lawless
violence, and if unexplained and unatoned for,
will take decided measures to protect the lives
of our citizens and vindicate the honor of the
nation.
Rumors have also reached me that some
lourteen or eighteen American citizens, four
ladies, (one with an infant) were recently mur
dered by your troops at Virgin Bay. “ 1 am
slow to believe so diabolical an outrage.
. John B. Lawless, Esq., the bearer of this,
is instructed to enquire, in the name of the
United States for this Legation, into the facts
touching this rumor.
1 send him with my flag with this dispatch,
and 1 pray that yougivehimaconduct through
your lines, and a prompt reply to
\ our obedient servant,

proportions. . J
. lt \ s “° ,luuU considered the policy of for
eign doctors to assist in this dampish busing
towards the United States. There arrived in
Washington some few years since, a vcrv fi
SuTwT He l d ° Ctor IV ° m l: “6laud, named
Hulwer. He was a most courtly and highly
expert practitioner, and could cut off aleg or
an arm with so much ease that it was thought
a pleasure to be under his treatment. A na
tive pel,tica doctor by the name of Clayton
had a consultation with this affable gentleman’
concerning a free passage that might bo made
through the centre of America. To effect this
object the wily foreign doctor prescribed that
a light bandage should be bound round the
waist of America; it would make her as gen
teel and as full of health as a Northern belle ;
she was becoming too lusty for Ur. Bulwer’s
idea of grace, and the bandage should be fas
tened very tightly. “Bandages are very good,”
cried old Dr. Clayton, somewhat befogged;
“so good, indeed, that one should also be fas
tened round Mrs. England.” “Nothing easier,
my dear madam, 1 mean, sir,” exclaimed Dr.
Bulwer; “theinterestingeonditionof England,
however, precludes a bandage being placed
round her waist, but to make matters perfect
ly even, we will place a bandage on her little
toe.” “ Agreed,” cried Clayton, highly de
lighted, “let us both sign the prescription,”
—and the Clayton-IJulwer treaty was present
ed to the world.
The free passage was, of course, never ef
fected. The bandage around the waist of
America seriously retards her growth ; and
the bandage placed across England’s little toe
is so elastic that it slips off and on as occasion
serves. Dr. Clayton vows that it was agreed
that the one bandage should bo wound as tight
as the other, and a very pretty quarrel arises
on this point, which is called the Central
American Question. While the doctors are
disputing on technicalities the great fact is
lost sight of, that the bandage round America’s
waist is an unnatural burthen, while the band
age round England’s toe, whether looseor tight,
is a mere bagatelle. Never was poor mortal more
completely hoodwinked than was Dr. Clayton
by Buiwer, if Lord Palmerston’s construction
of the treaty be admitted. According to that
construction, it is a most complete check upon
the United States, and should be shaken off’
without delay. —Augusta Chron.
OBJECTS AND PRINCIPLES OP THE
DEMOCRATIC AMERICAN PARTY
ITS STANDARD BEARERS:
For President —I). S. DIKIXSON, of N. Y.
For Vico President —W. C. DAWSON, of Ga.
THE OBJECTS OF THIS PARTY ARE:
Ist. To cultivate aud develop American
feeling: teaching the doctrine that none can
love our counti-y so well as they who are
born upon its soil; and none others can be
thoroughly qualified to share in its govern
ment.
2d. To make our fathers our models, to
return to the good old manners and habits of
the earlier days of the Republic, and to emu
late the virtues, the wisdom, and patriotism
of tlioso who made our Constitution, framed
our first laws, and first conducted our Govern
ment.
3d. To maintain the Union of these States
as an inestimable blessing, second only to
the freedom of individuals and the indepen
dence and dignity of the States, which it was
designed to secure and per-petuate.
4th. To preserve the rights of the States,
and prevent encroachments thereon by the
General Government.
sth. To maintain the Constitution and its
compromises, and all laws passed in accor
dance with the Constitution, as the supreme
law of the land.
Oth. To give peace to the country, and al
lay sectional agitation.
7tli. To oppose all foreign influences, and
attempts on the part of any foreign authority
to control the free thought, conscience or ac
tion of American citizens in political matters.
Bth. To place the governmentof the coun
try in the hands of Americans only.
Oth. To protect the civil and religious
rights and privileges of all; to maintain the
right of every man to the full, unrestrained,
and peaceful enjoyment of his religious opin
ions and mode of worship; and to oppose any
attempt by any sect,denomination, or church,
to obtain an ascendancy over any other in the
State, by special privilege or exemption, by
any political combination of its members, or
by a divided civil allegiance.
10th. To reform the character of our Na
tional Legislature, by elevating to that posi
tion men of the highest qualifications, the
purest morals, and the most unselfish patriot
ism.
11th. To restrict Executive patronage,
especially in the matter of appointments to
office.
12th. To educate the youth in schools pro
vided by the State, common to all, without
distinction of creed or party, not subjected to
any sectarian influences, and from which the
Bible shall not be excluded.
To attain which objects ice declare—
1. That all laws should be obeyed in good
faith, and actively enforced, until repealed,
or until declared unconstitutional and null by
the proper judicial authority.
2. That nothing that tends to weaken or
subvert the Union, should be countenanced,
except in the last extremity, nor any line of
policy adopted that endangers it.
<>. 1 hat all political differences threaten
ing its perpetuity should be equitably adjust
ed by mutual forbearance and concession.
4. The term required for naturalization
should be extended, aud tho landing of for
eign paupers and criminals on our shores en
tirely prevented.
5. All State laws allowing foreigners not
naturalized to vote should be repealed.
G. Gifts of land should not be made, nor
pre-emptions allowed, to unnaturalized for
eigners, nor should they be allowed to vote in
the territories.
i. The system of giving rewards for polit
ical subserviency, and inflicting punishments
for political independence, should cease.
8. Office should seek the man, and not man
the office; find the only tests of fitness for the
office should bo the capability, faithfulness,
and honesty ot the incumbent or candidate.
9. There has been too much legislation by
Congress on the subject of slavery. Hereafter
it should be let alone, and the existing laws
be regarded and maintained as final.
10. Congress ought not to legislate in regard
to slavery in the territories, nor authorize Un
people of the territories to do so, until they
come to form a State Constitution. J
11. It would be a violation of the compact
between Maryland and the United States, and
of public honor and good faith, for Congress
to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia,
and Congress has no Constitutional right to
do so. e
IV hen anew State presents itself with
a republican constitution, fairly made in pur
suance of law and by due authority, Congress
lias no right to look into that constitution to
see \\ liether it admits or prohibits slavery :
but if such new State has the requisite ponu
lation, it has a right to bo admitted into the
Union.
13. All offices, civil and military, should
be given to native-born Americans, in prefer
ence to the foreign-born.
14. The Government of the United States
should observe faith with all nations, exacting
justice from the strongest, and doing it to the
weakest, and allowing no interference by our
citizens with the internal concerns of any
people with which we nre at peace.
15. 1 lie Democratic American party shall
be an open political party, with no political
machinery whatever; and its motto shall be
Americanism, Toleartion and Reform.
