COLUMBUS: 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. __ For the Daily Sun. Selection. 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 go away from there. W. 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 PERSIA’S FOREIGN NEWS. Liverpool Cotton Market- The Broker's Circular of the 18th inst. says that cotton advanced Jd., and then receded, but again recovered and closed firm at an advance of from Kto jd.

Tres Ordinaire was quoted at 93 frs. General Intelligence. The news by this arrival is unimportant.— 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 ube, the interior regime of the Principalities, 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 ately after the exchange of ratifications, to see his son who was wounded in the Crimea. Lord Panmure had stated that, in sending troops to Canada, there was no hostile inten tion towards the United States, but that they were sent there simply to supply the places of those who were withdrawn during the war. The Lord Mayor of London entertained the American Minister, Mr. Dallas, at the Man sion House, on the 17th inst. Two hundred guests were present, and the Lord Mayor, in toasting Mr. Dallas, prefaced his remarks with many generous sentiments in regard to the United States. The debate in the British Parliament on the American question had been deferred until Lord Clarendon’s return. Tho Government had met a slight defeat in the vote against the grant to Maynooth College. Rumors strength en the report that Parliament will shortly be dissolved. Mercer University. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held in Savannah on Thursday last, the Rev. R. 11. Tucker, of Richmond, Virginia, was chosen Professor of Belles Letters in the above insti tution, vice Prof. Hillyer, resigned. R. B. Hilton, Esq., of that city, was elected a member of the Board of Trustees, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the death of Rev. Vincent Thornton. Paris, April 3,185 G. 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 treaty; peace was the main wish : throughout France the working classes in the cities and the peasantry, take the lead iu the manifesta tions of content. ♦ 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?” “Didn t know lie had any.” “Does he live near you: “So near that he has spent only five shillings for fire wood in eight years.”— “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. COMME^.nr7!
