Tlu>second election lor a Solicitor ol ilie new ('riiniunl Court ol < oluinbus was held ou uturdav, and resulted in the e led ion ot .1. A. ins, Es.j., by tin-following vote : ,1 \. Fox, 2(10. John Peabody, Baptist Theological Convention. Wo learn from the Augusta papers that this adjourned on the Ist instant, alter ap pointing a committee of three to carry out the views of the members in reference to the es tablishment of a Common Southern Theologi cal Institution, aud appointing another meet ing at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1807. ♦ Too Many of the Breed. England lias been prolifioof ruling Georges, and has had cause to rue the policy of one or two of them; hut the Montgomery Journal of the I ind. enumerates more than are to bo found in the hook.” That paperspeuks of “George til,’ and says that a copy of the lives of the eminent men of lii.s reign was recently served upon Mr. Fillmore by Lord Brougham. We Oust that our worthy Ex-President ignored more than one hundred of the Georges, and that his thoughts reverted to Saratoga and \ orktown. The lied River Country. We learn from the Shreveport Gazette of the Itith ult., that rain was greatly needed in that section, and much anxiety was felt for the fate of the crops. A let ter fromMinden states that corn and cotton were not up, and planters feared that they would not sprout in “red-hot and.” Several of the Red River steamers were aground, with no prospect of getting off before another rise, and tho chance for rain enough before winter to swell the riverseomed almost hopeless. A Now Dodge in Hanking* Two or three days ago, the Atlanta Intelli gencer published some hints anil correspon dence tending to “show up” in a strong light a very novel and rather desperate expedient resorted to by the Planters and Mechanics’ bank of Dalton, (la. A.house in Philadelphia remitted to IJ, 1,. Wright, Esq., of Atlanta, S9OO in bills on the Hank at Dalton, with in "truetions to have them cashed. Mr. AVright -eut a messenger to Dalton to present them at the counter of the Bank for redemption. The Cashier of the Bank commenced counting the coin very deliberately, hut was not satisfied with the first, second, or third counts, and was proceeding with a fourth, when the Sheriff of Whitfield county stepped into the oftice and immediately attached the money (the bills sent up by Mr. Wright) as the property of one Lewis, of Cleveland, Ohio ! This, it was said, was done at the instance of a Mr. Kibbee, agent for Preston & Cos., of Chicago, 111., who claimed that they had “discounted” the same bills to Lewis, who “still owed them,” and who had agreed to “ circulate the currency”! These extraordixary proceedings, of course, raised the strong presumption that the officers of the Bank had sent for the sheriff to levy this attachment, and that their long delay in count ing- the coin was for the purpose of occupying the time until his at rival. We did not notice the case, ns we might have done, a day or two ago, because there are generally two sides to a statement of this kind, and we expected that when the Dalton paper arrived we should get the counter-statement of the Bank oflicors.— But the Times of tho Ist inst., now before ns, contains no justification of the Bank. In an editorial article, it urges tho necessity of ob taining a “sound home currency,” and says ihut “those who control the two llanksin this place prefer doing a legitimate home business, as soon ns public confidence will enable them to obtain a wholesome circulation for their is sues abroad;” at tlie same time tendering an assurance “to those who have been holding up the Banks of Dalton as ‘wild-cats,’ that they are now doing much to domesticate themselves and pro- -- ■ soon to become local institutions.” In plain is, we suppose, puss will cease rambling off to distant cribs and storehouses in pursuit of game, if the mice of her own Jumsehold will only be less shy and come with in her reach. This would be “domestication” with a vengeance, and wo would warn the heretofore cautious little mice about Dalton to beware of “mcal-iub” tricks, and, if possible, to pat a bell on the feline monster without de lay In the language of the exquisite “Prince ton Lyric” (which will apply as well to short tailed wild “varmints” ns to the sleek “domes ticated” tabby) “ Mure* oilmen nunc In* nliy, Kt aureui pricin’ all milii, Hcuigne : Si lux’- luci#—vei l>um sat — AvoKl a ilev'liNh )>ig tom cat, StiulloHe.** A Contrast. A correspondent nftii.* Atlanta Examiner, vaitiug from a steamer on the Missouri river, states that the Southern party on the boat uumbered thirty-two, of whom twenty-five were Georgians. They were all lively ami in good spirits, and enjoyed the best of fare. On the lower deck were a company of emigrants : ent out by the Northern abolition societies, and he describes them ns “the most abject and pitiful objects lie bad ever seen/’ The two companies on this boat were but fair speci mens ot the class aud condition of the emi grants sent out by their respective sections ; and the miserable manner in which the Free soilers were provided for proves that their purchasers cared nothing for their health or omfort, but only used them as senseless and passive tools for working out a political end. is it not a “mockery in the face of high heav en” for such men to prate about Southern slavery". — The steamship Persia made her last and best trip from Liverpool to New York in a little less than ten days. She has not yet beaten the time of one or two of the Collins steamers, and has fallen far short of the ex pectations of her builders. It will soon be seen whether the Adriatic (which has some novelties in her construction) will do better American Standing Abroad. The recent wholesale massacres of Ameri can citizens in Nicaragua and Panama call loudly upon our Government for energetic ac tion to regain the respect which we seem to have lost among nations, and to prevent a re petition of such bloody outrages. Itis evident that without such demonstration a citizen of the United States will he nowhere safe outside of the boundaries of his own country, aud that murder and pillage will be continued with im punity. Ju Nicaragua, we witness the spec tacle of an invading force seizing a route of travel guaranteed to the citizens of the United Stines by treaty stipulations, murdering in cold blood the unarmed agents and employees engaged in keeping open the route, and by of ticial proclamation threatening death to all North Americans who attempt toposs over the highway which their own enterprise has estab lished and protected by solemn treaty engage ments! At Panama, a trivial and bloodless dis pute between a drunken New Yorker aud a native is made the ostensible pretext lor the indiscriminate butchery of American citizens by the score, the robbing of hundreds of help less men and women, and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of dollars of American property. Whichever party may have been most to blame in commencing the disturbance, the outrages were wholly unprovoked and un justifiable, and cannot be attributed to the trivial matter about which the riot had its in cipiency. The impelling spirit was a deep rooted and greatly excited jealousy and hatred of North Americans, which had by some de signing influence been fed and inflamed, and presumed too much on the cautious and pa tient policy which has for so long a time char acterized our international dealings. It needs a prompt, vigorous and stern demonstration of Amereican power and spirit to avenge these outrages and prevent their repetition. Apolo gies or pecuniary reparation extorted by di plomacy will never reach the seat of the evil —will fail to overawe the rabble and inspire that respect for the American character which is the only stable and trust-worthy guarantee of safety to our citizens. Can any man doubt what would have been the prompt course of Great Britain or France, had their citizens been thus ruthlessly shot down and cut to pieces, and their property thus pillaged and destroyed ? Tlie same arrival which informed us of the outrage would also have told the tale of British guns battering down the defences and burning the property in the seapovts of the offending State; and ample and speedy would have been the indemnity extorted at the mouth of the cannon and the point of the bayonet. And are we never to realize that we too are a “power on earth?”—that the Amer ican Union has now grown too great and pow erful to permit the petty states of the earth, however backed and encouraged, to murder its citizens in cold blood and rob and insult them with impunity? However tardy and cautious may be the course of the Government at Washington, we trust that some energetic and spirited Ameri can commander has ere this, without instruc tions or formal warrant, inflicted summary punishment on the people and authorities of Panama, raised the blockade of San Juan, and re-opened the Transit route in Nicaragua. A prompt and energetic proceeding like this, and only such an one, can meet the emergency of the case and at once obtain indemnity for the past and security for the future. The Panama Outrage. The New York papers of the 710th ult, bring us detailed accounts of the infamous outrages upon American citizens and property at Pa nama. They sustain all the horrible state ments heretofore sent to us by way of New Orleans,and sliowthat the extent of tho blood shed aud violence was understated rather than exaggerated by the New Orleans accounts. There were some 1000 Americans at Pa nama, most of them passengers by the steamers Cortes aud Illinois. All the ac counts agree that the police force ordered out ostensibly to quell the riot took part with the negroes aud aided in the butchery and rob bery of the North Americans. Neither age nor sex was spared. One woman and two children were known to have been killed, and several other ladies were wounded. The sav ages tore the ear and finger rings, breastpins, iS.e., from the ladies, and the purses, watches and other valuables from the men. All the trunks and other baggage were rifled, and in fact everything esteemed of value was taken. A potion of the passengers reported their loss in money, clothing, jewelry, &c., at $41,- !!HO, and this was not thought to cover half the loss of all tho passengers. One account says that fourteen dead bodies of Americans were laid out next morning at the depot, an ; other says twenty-five, and both concur that a number of the dead had not then been found. A list ot those killed has not yet been made out. The wounded were probably fully ns numerous as the killed. The statements vary as to the number of natives killed. One wri ter thinks that only throe or four were killed, | and another estimates the number at about I forty, After the riot had been quelled, tlie | native “police” force escorted to the gates of the city such Americans as desired their ser | vices, but charged from S' to per man for so doing! Strong representations on the subject have been sent to our Government. #- At a largo and enthusiastic assembly iu New Orleans, on the 28th ult., Hon. Pierre Soule delivered an eloquent and stirring ad dress in denunciation of thejjrutulity of the Oosta Ricans and in favor of the interference of our Government in behalf of the North Americans in Central America. A strong de monstration was made by all parties in sup. port of liis views. —♦ — Little Girls. There is something inexpressibly sweet about little girls. Lovely, pure, innocent, ingeuious unsuspecting, full of kindness to brothers, ba bies and everything. They are sweet little human flowers, diamond dew-drops iu the breath of morn. What a pity they should ever become women, flirts, aud heartless coquette*! —Augusta Const. Protest ol Uolonpl Totten. The following protest by Uol. G. M. Totten, i Chief Engineer of the Panama Railroad Com -1 pany, was forwarded on the 10th to his J.x ----\ cellency Don Francisco Fabrega, Governor of the State: engineer's Office, Panama Railroad, I Panama, April AS, 1 Soli. J j As your Lxcelleucy well knows, on the eve ning of the loth instant, an attack was made by aunrinrd mob of residents ot the city and j suburbs of Panama, on a body of transit pas > sengors, and on the property of the Panama I Railroad Company. The passengers were in number, inclu ! ding a large number of women and children, ! who came from New York by the steamer Illi nois, and had just crossed the Isthmus by the ! railroad. They were waiting at the railroad terminus at PI ay ft Prieta, for the tide to come i in, and in the meantime they were engaged in registering their tickets, receiving their lug gage, and taking refreshments at the neigh boring hotels and eating houses. While in this situation they were attacked by the armed mob as above stated. It matters not at present whether the distur bance originated with one party or the other, it is sufficient that a disturbance existed aud that, other means failing, it became the duty of the authorities when called upon to exert their influence to quell it. Finding that the disturbance was becoming serious, the officers of the Railroad and Steam ship Companies, who were present, requested tho interference of your Excellency and the police. Your Excellency and the police appeared on the ground, but it seems that instead of attempting to quiet the mob, the police im mediately commenced firing on the Railroad Depot and the passengers who had fled to it for safety—thus taking part with the mob. Your Excellency must have known that most of the passengers were unarmed, and that the depot was filled with helpless men, women and children. That some of the passengers attempted to defend themselves, their wives and children ; and that those w T lio had, or could procure arms, fired upon the mob who were firing upon them, was perfectly natural and right. But it ap pears that they merely acted in self-defence, and that they were restrained as much as possible by the officers of the Railroad and Steamship Companies, who, having no arms, had not the power to defend themselves or the property under their charge; yet it ap pears, from indisputable evidence, that your Excellency ordered the police to fire upon the depot, that this order was obeyed, and, that by this outrage many of the passengers were killed and wounded. While the police were firing upon the depot and passengers on one side, the mob broke into the depot on the other, where, in cold blood, they murdered many of the defenceless passengers, while on their knees supplicating for mercy. The mob then commenced despoiling the depot of whatever it contained ; they robbed the freight deposited there, the safes of the Company, and the clothes and effects of the officers who occupied the building. They al so destroyed the books and papers of the Com pany, and cut the telegraph wires. After the mob had taken possession of the depot, the police stopped firing upon it, and entered it also, and there they witnessed the pillage and destruction going on, without ma king an effort to prevent it; and even, it is said, assisting and sharing in the spoils. During the whole continuance of the riot, the mob Were engaged in robbing the in dividual passengers—without distinction or sex—depriving them of such baggage and ef fects as they had with them, and their per sons of such valuables as they had about them —even taking the rings from the fingers and ears of the females. This also was done in the presence of your Excellency and the po lice, without, an effort being made by yon to prevent it. 1 was not present at the disgraceful trans action. Tlie above statement is made from the evidence of reliable persons who witnessed it, and whose testimony I cannot doubt. Your Excellency well knew the character of the people composing that mob. 4 T ou knew that the design was robbery—and robbery through blood —and you permitted an indis criminate massacre and pillage of defenceless strangers, and helpless women and children, which would have disgraced tho most savage country on earth, and which it was your duty, aud in your power to prevent. Two days have passed since the committal of these outrages, and 1 have yet to learn whether your Excellency lias taken any steps to arrrest those who were engaged in them, or propose any. Wherefore, iu the name of the Panama Railroad Company, whose agent I am, 1 do hereby solemnly protest against the outrages committed by tho mob, composed of the citi zens of Panama and its vicinity, on the eve ning of the loth instant. I protest against the masacre and pillage committed ou tlie persons and effects of the passengers. 1 protest against the attack and pillage commenced by the mob and police on the buildings and property of tlie Panama Rail road Company. And, 1 protest against the conduct of your Excellency,the Governor of the State]of Pana ma, iu ordering the police to fire upon the Railroad Depot, and the passengers contained therein; in not taking measures to avert the riot, and in not affording protection to tlie lives and effects of the passengers, and the property of the Panama Railroad Company. And 1 do hereby give notice to your Excel lency, that this government will be held re sponsible for tlie murders and outrages com mitted on tlie evening of the loth, on the per son* of the passengers, and for tlie robberies aud damages committed on their effects, and on tho property of the Panama Railroad Com pfttt.v. Very respectfully, G. M. Totten. .—. — Congressional. Washington, April 30. In the Senate, ou motion of Mr. Sumner, a resolution was adopted, directing the Commit tee on I iuauce to consider the expediency of legislating that all articles of foreign manufac ture, obtained exclusively from submerged or derelict wrecks, whether in our own or foreign waters, be admitted free of duty. in the House, Mr. Washburue, of Illinois, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a bill establishing collection districts, designat ing ports ot entry and delivery, and modifying the revenue laws. The Senate debated the action of the Naval Hoard, until tlie hour of adjournment. In the House the consideration of Mr. Wash* burne s bill was postponed until the 2d Mon day iu.tune. Mr. Herbert offered aresolntiou which was adopted, instructing the Committee on Foreign Ass airs to enquire if any, and what further legislation is necessary to secure the lives and property of American citizens pass ing the Isthmus of Panama. Tlie Indian Appropriation Hill was taken up in Committee. Mr. Ruflington and Mr. Meachaui made speeches in favor of the admission of Kansas. A hill was reported to the House without being read, or one word being said relative to it, and while it was pending inCominittee, the House adjourned. “The Dead of our Cabinet.” The lecture of Hou. Mr. Tyler, last Thurs day evening, was an eloquent and impressive tribute to some of the greatest names of Amer ica. Mr. Tyler began with the accomplished Hugh Swinton Legate, of South Carolina, who occupied tho post of Attorney General in his Cabinet, and who died white holding that post. To the versatility of his talents, the accuracy and range of his information on all subjects of law, common and civil, municipal, constitutional and international, he rendered the highest praise; and as an evidence ol’ the justice of the estimate he pheed on his char acter, he remarked that no deliberate opin ion of liis was ever controverted or questioned by the supreme judicial tribunal of the land. Mr. L. died in Boston, whither he had gone to participate with Mr. Tyler in the famous Bunker Hill celebration of 184 fl. The lectur er next gave an analysis of the character of those distinguished sons of Virginia, Gilmer and Upshur—the former Secretary of the Navy, the latter occupying successively the chair of chief of the Navy and State Depart ments. He concluded his remarks on this head with a vivid description of the melan choly catastrophe of the Princeton, by which, ou the 28th of February, 1844, they both were snatched in an iusant from the sphere of life, usefulnes and honor. Mr. Tyler then paused a minute to lay his meed of praise on the tombs of those two “representative men” of our time, Calhoun and Webster, over whose remains it must have been a grateful, though melancholy task, “<S ’pargere roxas, spargere brerves fioe.es.” He concluded by a brief allusion to some members of Itis cabinet who still live, and whose services and talents deserve mention in an address devoted to their companions, and closed with an eloquent allusion to the rapid ly approaching day when they and he shall follow the departed in the dusty way of death, and their fellow countrymen shall say, are et rale! to them all.— Southside Democrat. The Price of Two Potatoes in 1805. The following anecdote of the first Napo leon—this necessity of discriminating between the two Napoleons is a little inconvenient is related in a letter from a correspondent, who was a considerable time in tho French military service, and who vouches lor its authenticity. We might say of it, “Se non e vero e bon fro vato. “ The evening before the battle of Ulm, when Napoleon the First, in company with Marshal Bevthier, was walking incognito through the camp and listening to the talk of his soldiers, he saw in a group not far off’ a grenadier of the guard who was roasting some potatoes in the ashes. “1 should like a roast potato above all things,” said the Emperortothe Marshal; “ask the owner of them if he will sell one.” In obdience to the order, Berthier advanced to the group and asked to whom thepotatoes belong ed. A grenadier stepped forward and said, “They are mine.” “ Will you sell me one ?” “I have only five, and that’s hardly enough for my supper.” “ i will give you two Napoleons if you will sell me one.” “ 1 don,t want your gold ; 1 shall be killed, perhaps, to-morrow, and I don’t want the ene my to find me with an empty stomach.” Berthier reported the soldier’s answer to the Emperor, who was standing a little in the back ground. Lets see it I shall be luckier than you,” said the latter, and goingup close to the gren adier, he asked him it lie would sell him a po tato. Not by a long shot, answered the grena dier, “i haven’t enough for myself.” “But you may set your own price. Come 1 am hungry, and haven’t eaten to-day.” “ 1 tell you I haven’t enough for myself— besides all that, do you think 1 don’t know you in spite ot your disguise ?” “ Who ami then?” “J* 0 ! 1 - , T , h , e little corporal, as they call him; am 1 right ?” J ’ “! * ‘ nCe yOU know ,)le ’ will you sell me “No, but if you would havemecomeanddine Wl 1 U u “ lcu we get back to Paris, you may sup with me to-night.” J * “Done!” said Napoleon, “On the word of a little corporal; outlie word of an Emperor.” 4V ell and good. Our potatoes ought to be done by Hus time : there are the two largest ones, the rest I’ll eat myself.” “ The Emperor sat down and ate his pota oes, aud then returned with Berthier to his ten , merely remarking, “the rogue is a good soldier, I’ll wager.” s Two mouths afterwards Napoleon the Great r;; i ‘ he ' n^ t . of 11 court at the pal ace ot the 1 uilleries, and was just sitting down to dine, when word was brought him that a m,ar a i^H WftS t Wlth ° U . t ’ to force the guard at the door, saying that he had been iu v.ted by the Emperor. “ Let him come in,” said his majesty. The soldier entered, pre sented arms, and said to the Emperor • “Do you remember once havingsupped with me off my roast potatoes ?” - that you? Ves, yes, [ remember,” said the Emperor; “and so you have come io dme with me, have you ? Rustau, lay anoth er cover on your table for this brave fellow.” Again the grenadier presented arms, and said: witi ) g [ eiladie )\ o 1 tij ° Guards does not eat T.'„ ‘ majesty told mo I should . .. 1 y° u tb, 'it was the bargain, and Busting to your word, I have come hither.” True, true, said the Emperor, “lay a cov er here near me; lay aside your arms, man ami, and draw up to the table.” Dinner over the grenadier went, athis usual pace, took up his carbine, and turning to the Emperor, presented arms and said : “ A mere private ought not to dine at the tabu* of liis Emperor.” “Ah ! I understand you, said Napoleon.— I name you Chevalierof tho Legion of Honor, and Lieutenant in my company of Guards.” 1 hank you heartily. Vice VEmpermr!” answered the soldier, and withdrew.
