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! The rat man has left and so has the people’s “ change !”—Florence Gazette. What has become of the rats?—that’s the important question. TELEGRAPHIC. ♦ Expressly for tho Daily Sun. ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA. FURTHER ADVANCE IN COTTON! AuauflTA, April 2D. The British steamer I'ersia has arrived at New York, with advices from Liverpool to the l'Jtb, being seven days later than those brought by the Arabia. She reports an advance of ono-eiglith to a quarter in ootton, and tho sales of tho week at 120,000 bales—speculators taking -10,000. Quotations —Upland Fair G£d., Upland Mid dling G£d. Consols 93j to 935. Political news unimportant. Conference closed. 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. ♦ The Central Georgian for Sale. B e again offer this paper for sale. A hot political contest is about to bo couiuionced. We have no desire to conducta political paper, and yet are unwilling to conduct a neutral paper through another political campaign.— It is unnecessary to present reasons or argue the caso. We will sell on good terms. response be made at an early day, this jour nal must participate in those subjects which interest the people so largely by taking sides in politics. We will be obliged to our ex changes if they will notice tho above state ment. —Central (!coryian. Barbour Circuit Court. 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 docket will be resumed on Friday, should the trial ot State cases then be completed.

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, ( Si S uetl ) J. 11. WHEELER, „ Minister of U. S. A. To his Excellency, John 11. Mora, President ot Republic of Costa ltica, in camp at Rivas Nicaragua. The Savannah papers of Monday record the deatli of Rev. Willard l'restou, of that city. He was pastor of tho Independent Presbyteri an Church of Savannah, a station which lie had filled acceptably for a quarter of a centu ry, and was highly esteemed for his piety, learning and eloquence. Tim Growth of Nations. . il f' ons are 110 t compared to individuals. The Chinese, who stint the growth of the feet of their women, are not con sidered the wisest people. The wretched mer cenary creatures who sometimes, among our selves, will seek to dwarf the stature of their offspring, in order to make a spectacle of them are objects of our natural loathing. The ame rule holds good as regards the legitimate al'lnw **i nat \ on V - N o ox Poriments should be allowed to curb the natural growtli of younc and vigorous countries, and lie who should be found practising such unholy deeds should be denounced as a charlatan. No bandages, li the shape of unwise treaties, should be ap ped tons hcahhy frame. Many apolitical Mr.. Gamp has crippled a young nation with bad nursing and by placing it in leading strings when lmd it been allowed free would have grown to its full and symmetrical 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.
