Friday Morning, May ‘A, 1850.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
Arrests for Negro Stealing.
A young jnan by the name ot Larkin K.
Parker lias been arrested at Atlanta anil
brought to this city and committed to jail, un
der the following circumstances: He brought
a negro man to Columbus from Wilkinson
county two or three weeks since, and sold
him here, ou the 17th of April, to Ur. Hoze
man —giving as his own name William Scott.
The negro was missing within a few days
thereafter, and Ur. Bozeman advertised for
him in the newspapers. Kecciving an inti
mation from Atlanta that a negro answering
the description was in that place in the poscs
sion of a man calling his namo W. (J. Jackson,
he telegraphed the Marshal to arrest them,
and proceeded thither anil found the slave and
the same man from whom he purchased him,
in jail. A man from Wilkinson county by the
name of Spann, was also there seeking the ar
rest of Parker on a charge which he intended
to bring against him. In the mean time Mr.
Thomas 11. Parker, the father of Larkin It.,
hearing of tho arrest, started for Atlanta,
but did not reach there until nfter l)r. 15.
had started with the prisoners on his return
to this city. The old gentleman then came
on, accompanied by Spann, to Columbus. At
Opelika they met with one John G. Smith, who
resides in Wilkinson county, and whom old
Mr. Parker left at home when he started for
Atlanta, and supposing him in some way con
nected with the stealing, by the use of a little
artifice, Spann induced him to come on to Co
lumbus. On his arrival here, Smith was ar
rested at tho instance of Thomas 11. Parker,
who charges him with having influenced and
aided his son in running oif from him not only
the negro in question, but another one pre
viously, selling them and dividing the proceeds.
It is thought that Smith, when met at Ope
lika, was fleeing the country to avoid the
charge of complicity with young Parker, and
there arc suspicions that lie is engaged with
others in an extensive scheme for running
off and selling negroes. He has been sent,
hack to Wilkinson county for examination
and commitment. Young Parker has been
committed to the jail in this city, having
waived a formal examination.

An Editor “ done up.”
The editor of the Columbia (S. C.) Times
called the other day on Madame Swett, the
Clairvoyant, (who is now in Columbia,) to
have his “ fortune told.” He was completely
satisfied with her powers, and believes that
she receives her communications from a Source
unapproachable to most mortals ! To use the
language of our worthy cotemporary, “ she
faithfully and minutely read to him his past
history commencing with his boyhood, and
pointed out the most important periods of his
life with an accuracy which caused him to be
lieve that the Almighty must have given to her
the information which she communicated.”
He also ventured upon the bold experiment of
looking into the future (a daily editor’s fu
ture !—save ux from the horrible picture!),
and we are glad to learn that ho found it
agreeably diversified with “many bright spots.”
We suppose that free tickets to the exhibi
tions, slices of wedding cakes, and presents of
fruits, hats, &c., danced before his vision like
occasional gushing fountains iu an arid waste.
The mail failures, tho woful dearth of news, the
necessity of noticing some wonderful discove
ry or strolling exhibition, about which he
knows nothing and cares less, and the constat
voice of the printers’ “ devil” crying unto him
“write, write,” were perhaps overshadowed
by those “ bright spots,” and entirely effaced
from his mind. But we advise our cotempo
rary not to bo over-sanguine or credulous, or
he may find that the spots aforesaid will all
run into a general color now sadly “under the
weather” in these parts.
The Kewa from Central America.
We liavo to-day more interesting and excit
ing news from Central America. The horri
ble atVair nt Panama is said to have sprung
from n dispute between a native and a North
American about the payment for a watermel
on, and bloody and disastrous was its result !
All the particulars yet received are given in
another column. Panama is not involved in,
or connected with, the troubles of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. It is in the State of New
Granada, south of Costa lliea, and has not
been affected or at all threatened by the strife
carried on in the States farther north. But
we think it probable that the jealousy and ha
tred towards North Americans, so fiercely
aroused in the States north of it, may have
had their intiueuee upon the population about
Panama also, and may bo remotely connected
with this outrage—perhaps by the instigation
of Europeans. Wo shall indulge the hope,
until we get fuller accounts, that the affair at
Panama has been exaggerated.
The seizure by the Nicaraguans of Claren
don's dispatch promising aid to the Costa Iti
eans, is, if true, quite an important event.—
It upsets at onco all the explanations given by
that wily minister of the motives of the Brit
ish Government in sending a strong fleet to
that region, and certainly demands prompt ac
tion on the part of the United States, which
has heretofore done fully as much as could be
required of it to preserve neutrality and pre
vent intervention in Central American affairs,
aud lias a right to demand of Great Britain
“hands off” on her part.
“The following is supposed to he the number
of newspapers in the world: 10 in Austria 14
iu Africa; 24 in Spain: 20 in Portugal; 30 in
Asia: 05 in Belgium : 85 in Denmark ; 50 in
Russia; and Poland; 050 in the Germanic
States: 500 in Great Britain and Ireland; and
2,000 in the United States, or nearly twice as
many as all other nations.”
W r e cut the above from an exchange. Tho
list does not include France, Canada, Mexico,
South America, Australia, and other coun
tries in which many newspapers are printed.
We think it sufficiently creditable to the Uni
ted States if they can boast of half the news
papers in the world, which we think is more
really the correct estimate.
Gen. Cass.
The London Times, in a recent editorial no
tice of (Sen. Cass and one of his speeches, calls
liim “a very intemperate and foul-mouthed
old fellow.” The probability is that the Brit
ish Parliament does not contain a single states
man of the enlarged and humane views, the
lofty patriotism, and the uniformly courteous
and gentlemanly bearing of Gen. Cass. He
has won his way to his present high station
and personal popularity with all parties, by
his ability, propriety, and statesmanship alone,
and not by the mere accident of birth, which
so often fills the British House of Lords with
brainless lordlings and unmannerly fools. —
Gen. Cass’ position, his sound judgment and
peculiar opportunities for correct observation
have enabled him to detect and expose the en
croaching spirit and piratical proclivities of
Great Britain, and for this he is soundly hated
and abused by the English press. It is no
wonder that his lucid exposure of the incon
sistencies and absurdities of such trimming
demagogues ns Palmerston and Clarendon has
aroused the ire of their apologists, and ruffled
tho insulted dignity of a bom-great aristocra
cy-
Forged Land Warrants.
An investigation going on at Washington has
disclosed startling and enormous frauds in land
warrants. It is said that forged certificates
covering more than a million of acres have al
ready been brought to light, and r very day
adds to the catalogue. Homo extensive and
wide-spread system of forgery has evidently
been boldly carried out and dexterously man
aged. __

Marshal, spare that dog, touch not a single
hair; he worries many a hog, from out his
muddy lair. 0! when be was a pup, so frisky
and so plump, he lapped his milk from a cup,
when hungry—at a jump. And then his fun
ny tricks, so funny in their place, so full of
canine licks, upon your hands and face. You
will surely let him live! Oh ! do not kill him
—dead; he wags his narrative, and prays for
life —not lead. Go, get the muzzle, now, and
put upon his mouth, and stop that bow-wow
wow, and tendency to drought. He is our
children’s pet, companion of their joy ; you
will not kill him yet, and thus their hopes de
stroy. No, Marshal, spare that pup, touch
not a single hair ; 0 ! put your pistol up, and

LATEB FROM CALIFORNIA.
Exciting News from the Isthmus.
New Orleans, April 28.
Tlie steamship Granada has arrived at this
port with advices from Havana to the 23d.,
and Aspinwall to the 20th inst.
The advices from California was unimpor
tant. .The news from the mines were encour
aging.
A terrible riot occurred at Panama on the
evening of the 15th inst., and in consequence
thereof the passengers by the steam ship Illi
nois were detained there that evening. The
difficulty commenced between some passen
gers and a fruit vender, and led to a bloody
riot, during which fourteen Americans were
killed and many more wounded. The butche
ry was perfectly indiscriminate. Three na
tives were killed and a dozen wounded, and
the rail road track was torn up for two miles.
Col. Totten had forwarded a protest to the Gov
ernor, accusing him of having permitted in
discriminate murder and pillage, and holding
the government responsible for the mails and
baggage destroyed.
Advices from Nicaragua state that des
patches irom Lord Clarendon, offering aid to
tho Costa llicaus against Walker, had been
found in the English mail and seized by Capt.
Baldwin, of Walker’s army. Tlic i documents
had been forwarded to Washington by a spe
cial messenger. It was reported that Walker’s
position was precarious.
Washington, April 19.
The patent for the Mariposa grant of land
in California was lately issued to Col. Fre
mont, after a long aud tedious legal process.
The newspapers have hardly done with the
merits of the case yet. I never considered
the claim quite so good as the Supreme Court
have decided it to be. But I am somewhat
surprised to find that its value is vastly less
than the public have been led to suppose it.—
l am informed by judicious and intelligent
business men from California, that no man in
California would give thirty thousand dollars
for the whole of the agricultural portion of
the Mariposa grant, and not a hundred thou
sand dollars for the whole grant, including
that portion of the same which embraces 1
part of the gold quartz region. As to specu
lators abroad, they would have been more
easily brought into quartz mining two years
ago than at present. In fact, it is a matter
of some doubt whether the famous Mariposa
grant is worth anything, considering that the
squatters have certain claims thereto, which
must bo compounded. —Journal of Commerce.
Congressional.
Washington, April 28.
In the {Senate, Mr. Hamlin introduced a
bill to incorporate the Atlantic and Pacific
National l nion lirailroad Company. Refer
red to the Committee on that subject. Mr.
Brown then spoke on the temperance question.
Mr. Brown argued that the right of sover
eignty over tho Territories had not been del
egated to Congress, and announced here, that
ho should vote for the admission of any State
with a sufficient popular vote to entitle itself
to one representative, without enquiring
whether the Constitution permitted or exclu
ded slavery.
Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, defended Lieut.
Maury from the action of the Naval Board,
after which the Senate adjourned.
In the House, the Senate Bill to remit du
ties ou goods destroyed by fire, was considered
and sent to tho Committee of the Whole on
tho State of the Union. Then adjourned.
New Horse Shoe.
The Philadelphia correspondent of the Bal
timore American says that anew horse shoe,
that requires no nails, and can be put on by
any one without the aid of a blacksmith, is
on exhibition in that city. Attached to the
shoe is a tlange extending around the hoof,
and at the back ot tho shoo, which lies over
the irog of the horse's foot, is a joint, held in
its place by a screw, whieh allows the shoe to
open and close, so as to accommodate itself
to the size ol the hoof. Between the hoof
aud the plate is placed a layer of gutta percha,
tor the purpose of preventing injury to the
hoof or leg of the horse by concussion while
passing over hard roads or streets. These
shoes are also furnished at about half the
price of the ordinary shoe.

The Peace Conferences in Paris were closed.—
The ratification of the Treaty of Peace will he
promulgated at the end of the month, and im
mediately after the promulgation of the gen
eral treaty, the protocols will bepublislied and
the labors of the Conference be made known
in detail. The questions considered at thelast
session were the free navigation of the Dan

the arrangement of the frontiers, and the situ
ation of the Christians in Turkey, and for
these purposes three commissioners were ap
pointed.
It was reported in Paris that diplomatic
movements of importance were on foot respec
ting Italy, and that the Austrian Ambassador
was to go to ltome on a special mission. It
was, also, rumored that his mission refers to
the Concordat, but the Italian journals say that
it relates to the general state of Italy. Count
Orloff was to leave Paris for Naples immedi

his son who was wounded in the Crimea.
Lord Panmure had stated that, in sending

Our Emperor Napoleon culminates magnifi
cently. The birth of a bouncing heir and the
consummation of his aims and hopes in the war,
have lighted up liis countenance, which I had
never seen radiant before. The weather has
corresponded to the splendor of the military
reviews aud spontaneous illuminations. In
his march to the Camp dc Mars on Tuesday
last, the popular acclamations to and fro, and
on the ground, exceeded whatever 1 had wit
nessed in 1807-1808 in the public appearances
of Napoleon I. Next to the Emperor, Count
Orloff, the Russian, with liis martial port and
glittering helmet, was of the numerous and
pompous escort the ‘observed of all observers.’
Paris is hung with tho Hags of the signing
powers : the double headed Eagle of the Czar
being the most conspicuous. In general, peo
ple caro little about the terms of tho definite

France the working classes in the cities and
the peasantry, take the lead iu the manifesta

A Remedy for Drunkenness.
BY MB. lIIGOINBOTTOM.
1 would recommend ipecacuanha as a rem
edy for drunkenness, taken in lialf-drachm
doses as an emetic. Ipecacuanha has the ex
traordinary property of stimulating the whole
system, equalizing the circulation, promoting
tho various secretions, and, indeed, assisting
each organ of the body to perform its function
and to restore it to its normal state. Ipecacu
anha cun be taken with perfect safety as an
emetic: on that account it is preferable to
tartar emetic. I believe the administration
of half a drachm of ipecacuanha as an emetic
to be a cure for periodical drunkenness, it is
observed that in the intervals between the pe
riods of these attacks, the person is quite so
ber, and often remains so for two, three or
lour months, or for a longer time. When tlie
mania comes on, the intense desire for alco
holic stimulus is so strong as to render the
sufferer subject to no control, and from the
sensation of depression and sinking, he can
look upon alcoholic stimulants as his only
remedy. When a person is in this state, it
j will be always found that liis stomach is in
fault, and the unnatural appetite arises from
that cause alone; if half a drachm of the pow
der of ipecacuanha be taken so as to produce
! faN vomiting, tho desire for intoxicating stim
i ulus is immediately removed.
From the experience I have had of the ef
| sects of ipecacuanha, 1 am of opinion, if a
patient can be persuaded to follow up the
emetic plan for a few times when the period
ica! attack comes ou, that he will be effectu
ally cured, and the lmbit (for such I look up.
on it) will be broken.
“Do you know the prisoner, Mr. Jones?”
‘A os, to the bone.” “What is the character?”

“Did he ever come into collision with you in
auy matter t “Only once, and that was when
lie wa* drunk and mistookjnie for a lamp post.
“From what you know of him, would you
believe him under oath ?” “That depends up
on circumstances. If he was so much intoxi
cated that he did not know what he was do
iug, I would;,if not, I wouldn't.”
A Visit to the Eish Wharves.
From tin- Washington Ornmi.
The old adage that one half of the world does
not know how the other lives, was never bet
ter proved to us than during a visit to the fish
wharves of Alexandria a short time since. We
have seen many ways and queer, in which wo
men make a living, but never did we dream of
of this. But we must not forestall our story :
On nearing the ancient city, the forest of
masts belonging to small cral't shows the site
of the fish business and something of its extent.
On reaching the place we found some sixty
sloops and schooners of various tonnage, all
loaded with fish, or partially unloaded. The
fish are thrown into the holds of these vessels
alive and kicking, just as they are taken from
the seines at the various fish landings, and
are thus brought to market at this grand ren
dezvous.
Unloading this slippery, and in many cases
living cargo, is a troublesome business, but it
is quickly despatched. The vessel on arriving
at the wharf, awaits her turn to discharge her
cargo—when that turns comes, bargains have
already been struck for her freight, at so much
per hundred for the fish. Discharging then
commences ; which operation is carried on in
a simple and primitive manner. A tub is fit
ted with a block and tackle and lowered into
the hold, where one of the men fills it, by shov
eling the fish into it with a scoopnet, till it will
hold no more. The contents of the tub are
then emptied on the wharf , and the fish arc
carefully counted. The number of fish in the
first tub are then taken as a criterion to judge
of the contents of every other, and no more
fish arc counted, but instead the number of
tubs.
The tubs are emptied on the wharf, and as
soon as a sufficiently large pile of fish is accu
mulated, the “headers” and “splitters” com
mence operations. Their duty consists in cut
ting off the heads, opening and cleaning the
fish, and throwing them into large tubs of
fresh water, when they are ready for salting.
The rapidity with which this work is done is
amazing. The squirming fish is caught in the
left hand, with its back up, when one blow of
the knife severs the head from the body, and
then a dexterous twist of the wrist sends the
knife down the belly, opening the fish and driv
ing the entrails before it, and then a turn of
the left hand sends the fish, already for salt
ing, into the tub or intodhe faces of the look
ers-on, (as happened once in our case,) accord
ing to the dexterity of the workman.
Workman did we say ? That was wrong. It
was a work-woman, and there were many oth
er ladies of color, boys and men, engaged in
the same business. Seated in the midst of the
fish, the garbage all over them, wore over a
hundred persons of all sexes, ages, .and colors,
thus employed. Their dress was highly ap
propriate and somewhat anomalous. In many
cases, the outside wrapper was a guano bag,
with holes for the head and arms. The hair,
as a general thing, was protectedby awoman’s
hood. Altogether, the looks of this tribe in
their singular dress, flourishing their long
gleaming knives, was picturesque and inter
esting, if not particularly pleasant in some
respects. These people are paid at the rate of
37 cents a thousand for dressing fish; and they
make about §2 50 to §4 per day, according to
their dexterity.
The garbage, consisting of the refuse parts
of the fish, is scattered all over the wharf, but
quickly carted away as dressing for land. It
is sold at a dollar per load, and considerable
revenue derived from it.
The sailers and coopers, the sailors and car
ters, the buyers and wharfingers, the headers
and splitters, together with the gleaners, who
overhaul the refuse matter to see that nothing
valuable is lost, present as motley an array as
can be found anywhere. Tho tumult that
arises from this numerous and not remarkably
quiet throng, surpasses Billingsgate in varie
ty, and may be supposed to equal Babel in
noise. Occasionally a fight occurs, but inter
est and police quickly quills every disturbance.
The amount of business done at this place
weekly, may be counted in hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. During the fishing season,
the poor people who are not too lazy to work
or too honest to steal, enjoy a carnival.
How the Irishman Converted the Jew.
A “raal hard sinner,” a native of the Em
erald Isle, went to confession the other day to
his parish priest, and so shocked the clergy
man with a recital of his sins, that he ex
claimed: “My son, did you ever do a good
deed in your life?” “I did,” said Pat, “I
converted a Jew once.” “How was that?” in
quired the confessor. “Y"ou see,” said Pat,
“the long-nosed,porkhaiting,murthering blag
gard fell overboard, and I put after his car
cass in a bote. I sazed him by the topknot
just as he was going down the second time,
and pulled his head above the surface, and
says I, “if I save you, will you be a Chris
tian?” “1 won’t,” said lie; and with that I
desposited his head about three feet unther
again. Pulled him up once more, put the
question anew, “Will you be a Christian ?”
which he again answered “No,” gruffly.—
I give him another dip, brought him up, puff
ing like a porpoise. “Will you be a Chris
tian now?” says I. “Y'-e-s,” says he, and his
teeth were chattering for all the world like a
monkey that had burned liis toes. “Well,*’
said 1, “you are now converted, and you’d
better die in the faith;” and so saying, 1 held
him unther until liis spirit had departed.” It
is about as difficult to learn what view the
priest took of this history, as it to learn “what
became of the sowl.”
Reception of Mr. Buchanan at Philadelphia,
Philadelphia, April 25.—Mr. Buchanan
was mot at Trenton this morning on liis way
to this city, by a committee of his friends, and
ou his arrival at Walnut street wharf he was
greeted by a salute aud the enthusiastic
cheers of the large crowd that had gathered
there, lie was finally welcomed to the city
by a committee of citizens headed by Hon.
Josiah Randall; after which he was conducted
to the Merchants’ Exchange, the interior of
which was decorated with Hags in honor of his
presence. Here he was welcomed in an ad
dress by S. Morris Wain, Esq., to which Mr.
Buchanan responded in his happiest style,
eliciting the applause of his hearers. After
his reception at the Exchnugc, he was con
ducted to tho .Merchants’ Hotel, which was
beseiged by troops of liis friends and admir
ers.
Barking of Dogs.
The Australian dog never barks; indeed,
Gardiner, in his “Music of Nature,” states
that “dogs in a state of nature never bark,” j
they simply whine, howl, and growl; the ex
plosive noise is only found among those which
are domesticated.” Sonnini speaks of the
shepherd’s dogs in the wilds of Egypt as not
having this faculty; and Columbus found the
dogs which lie had previously carried to
America to have lost their propensity to bark
ing. The barking of dogs is an acquired fac
ulty—an effort to speak, which he derives !
from liis association with man.
Let woman be decked with all the embel
lishments of art and nature—yet, if boldness
is to b’ read in her face, it blots out all the ;
lines of beauty.
