I.AIUiKST CITY CIRCULATION.
Wa direct the attention of Planters who have
uii idea of moving West, to the advertisement
of R. M. Hargrove in another column, offering
a fine body of land in a good location in Lou

Election in Girard.
The general election in Alabama for Judges
of the Circuit Courts and County Superinten
dents of Education, and for Probate Judges
m most of the counties, came oft yesterday.—
The question of calling a Convention to revise
the Constitution of the State was also voted
upon. We have as yet the vote of the Girard
box only, which is as follows:
Circuit Judge.
I T. Heflin 114 Robt. Dougherty 73
Superintendent of education.
Wm. J. Underwood 167 Dr. Kennon 18
Convention 141 No Convention... 23
it will be seen that our friend Underwood
(of the Russel Recorder) obtained a very
strong vote for Superintendent. Qu: Is it true
as'reported, that the ladies were allowed to
vote for him, and that some of the widows
voted twice ?

A Distinguished Georgian Dead.
Ex-Governor George M. Troup died at his
residence in Laurens county on the 20th ult.,
of hemorrhage of the lungs. Gov. Troup was
in the 74th year of his age, and his health for
some time has been feeble and his condition
precarious. Tie was a native of Georgia, and
hi very parly life commenced a public career in
her service, which was long continued, and
was throughout marked by Ability, steadfast
ness and fidelity to principle on his part, and
by devotion and enthusiasm in support of their
leader on the part of his friends. Aw a mem
ber of the Legislature, a Representative in
Congress, Governor of the State, and a Sena
tor in Congress, successively, he was accepta
ble and distinguished in liis station. Perhaps
the most notable and hotly-contested political
struggle our State lias ever experienced was
that which resulted in his election over Clark
in 1824 or 1826. All parties in Georgia res
pected and admired the veteran politician who
lingered beyond the usual term on the arena
of his fame, and who has now, amid the re
grets of all, been added to the list of the great
and noble dead of our State.
A Very Little Kain.
We are treated with rain, this spring, on
the Homoeopathic principle,and the dyagnosis
so far is decidedly unfavorable. Tlio dose
administered on Sunday afternoon was very
salutary and refreshing, but wholly insulli
cient; it cooled the skin for a few hours, but
failed to assuage the heat and thirst within.
We need much larger doses to bring about a
healthy reaction, and without it the patient
cumuit survive.

The Laud OHiee at Cahaba, Ala., has been
removed to Greenville, Butler county. The
Cahaba Gazette thinks that the removal is at
tributable to ■ the political influence of Hon.
Eli Shorter, and is quite indignant thereat.

Colton.
We observe that the receipts of cotton at
New Orleans were quite light last week. On
the Ist inst., only 84(1 bales were received,
though there were on that day eleven steam
boat arrivals from the rivers above. Naviga
tion ol the Red and Ouachita rivers was
thought to be nearly closed, but it was said
that most of the cotton had been shipped.—
there is still considerable cottoncoming down
trom Memphis and the Tennessee river. We
learn from the Houston (Texas) Telegraph of
the 25th ult., that cotton was coming into that
town freely by wagons, and “a heavy supply ol’
cotton at that point during a month or two”
was anticipated. 2,205 bales were received
during the week previous.
Tho Government Arousod!
W e learn by dispatches from Washington,
that a Cabinet council bad bad under consid
eration the riot, at Panama, and that the Sec
retary of the Navy had telegraphed an order
for the steamer Pulton to proceed forthwith
from Pensacola to Aspinwall; also that the
Government supposed the sloop-of-war St.
Mary to be now at Panama. We trust that
no halting or gingerly instructions have been
given to the commanders of these vessels, but
that they have been ordered to demand and
obtain instant aud full redress, and to provide
certain security for the future.
Mrs. Clayton.
We learn from good authority, that Mrs.
l li/.ubeth Clayton, late of this city,—who was
charged with having caused the death of a
negro girl by cruel punishment, and fled to
avoid an arrest, —was recently sent from
Mobilo to an insane asylum in Kentucky, the
unfortunate woman having become a raving
maniac.

Harbour Circuit Court.
We learn from the Clayton Banner that last
week, during the session of the Circuit Court
of Harbour county, Ala., the case of The Btate
ex. Bob, a slave charged with the murder of a
Mr. J. A. Viniug, near Glenn
ville, was tried aud a verdict of guilty found.—
(It will ho remembered that a correspondent,
writing fromGlennville, gave us an account of
this atrocious ami unprovoked murder two or
three months since.) Another slave, named
Anthony, charged with an attempt to poison
his owner, Mr. E. C. Hodges, and wife, was
tried and convicted. The Banner understands
that both cases will be carried up to the Su
preme Court.
Exchange Bank of Georgia.
Books of subscription to the stock of the
above Bank, were opened in this city cn
Thursday, and we learn that the whole amount
($200,000) was taken by our citizens. We
are informed that the Bank will go into ope
ration in time for the fall business.— Gridin

The British C;orrosponUence.
We find in some of our exchanges the let
ters (intercepted by NValker) in reference to
the British offer to advance 2,000 muskets to
Costa Rica, to he used against Nicaragua.—
The following is the only one‘of the series we
can publish in full, it is writtenby an urfder
ofliciul in the British foreign Office to the
Consul of Costa Rica at London :
Foreign OmcK, Peb. 9, 1860.
1 am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to
acquaint you that, having referred to the M ar
Department your letter of the 12tli ult., re
questing that a small supply of arms may bo
furnished to the government of Costa Rica,
his lordship has been informed by the Depart
ment, in reply, that 2,000 smooth bore mus
kets (nittons) which are not so highly finished
as the line pattern muskets of 1842, can he
supplied for this service at £ I 3s. each, or if
it should be preferred, 2,000 of the pattern
muskets of 1856 can he furnished at 60s. Bd.
each.
As soon as Lord Clarendon is informed by
you of the species of arms which you decide
upon, ho will communicate further with the
War Department, and request that the arms
may be placed at your disposal.
1 have the honor to be, sir, your most
obedient and humble servant,
E. 11. Hammond.
To E. Wallerstein, Esq., &c., kc.
In the letters of Wallerstein to his own Gov
ernment, enclosing the above, he says that he
had informed Lord Clarendon, before the ten
der of the muskets, that Costa Rica had 800
men on the frontier of Nicaragua, at which his
Lordship was much pleased, and remarked
“that was a right step,” and the Consul thinks
that this information was “one of the reasons
for his giving us the muskets.” lie calls
attention to tho fact that no time is set lor
the payment for the muskets, and concludes
that this was left entirely for Costa Rica to
determine. The Consul was so overjoyed at
the promise of the muskets, that he “could
not sleep all that night for joy and he prom
ised to send them on in the month ol March.
Tho correspondence clearly makes out acase
of unjustifiable British intermeddling witli the
affairs of the Central American States, in con
travention of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty and
the “ Monroe doctrine.”
Fire in Philadelphia.
A destructive fire broke out on the night of
the 29th ult., in Jessup k Moore’s paper ware
house, North street, Philadelphia. It con
sumed all the buildings on the east side of
Sixth street to Market, and many others on
Market, Commerce and North Streets. The
loss (which is mostly covered by insurance)
was at first stated at $2,000,000, but a later
dispatch says $200,000. We presume that
the latter statement must be far below the
mark. One fireman was killed, several others
injured, and it ‘Vas feared that some persons
had been buried beneath the falling walls.
The very extensive railroad depot of the
Harlem and New Haven Companies, occupy
ing an entire square in New York, between
Centre and Elm streets, was partially de
stroyed by fire on the Ist inst. The cars
were gotten out, but much freight was burnt
or injured. The upper stories were occu
pied by a number of manufacturers of various
kinds, ami all of them sustained considerable
loss.

Affairs in Kansas.
Letters from Lecompton and Lawrence to
the St. Louis papers furnish interesting new T s
from Kansas. There was evidently another
difficulty on hand, arising from the efforts of
the Freesoilers to resist the laws and the au
thorities ; and the pernicious effect of the fee
ble and tolerant policy which has been ob
served towards these factionists and rebels
was becoming more and more apparent.
A letter from Lecompton, dated April 19tb,
gives the particulars of the arrest of S. N.
Wood, an abolition editor at Lawrence, by
Sheriff Jones. Wood was charged with hav
ing heretofore assisted in rescuing prisoners
from the S’ iriff. When arrested by Jones,
he demanded to see Reeder aud Robinson be
fore submitting, but Jones refused to release
him for that purpose, telling him that they
could be sent for to see him at the Sheriff’s
office. A scuffle between them then ensued,
when a party of abolitionists interfered and
rescued him. The Sheritf soon rallied a small
posse and again proceeded to Lawrence to at
tempt to execute the laws, and the presump
tion is that the Governor also ordered out
troops to assist him, for a despatch from St.
Louis, dated tho 29th ult., states “while Sher
itf Jones was sitting in the tent of the sol
diers, he was shot by a party outside and dan
gerously wounded. Jones had made twelve
arrests during the day, assisted by a company
of dragoons under Lieut. Armstrong. Much
excitement prevailed in regard to the affair.—
The perpetrator of the deed is unknown. The
situation of Jones at present is very critical,
his life being despaired of.”
A dispatch from Independence says, “ Ex-
Governor Reeder, on his arrival from Wash
ington at Lawrence, addressed the people,
advising resistance of the Territorial laws to
the last extremity. Five companies of United
States troops, under Col. Summer, left Fort
Leavenworth for Lawrence, tho scat of trou
ble.”
The Congressional Investigating Committee
had arrived out, aud were holding sessions at
Lawrence on the 23d ult. It is stated that
the Freesoil majority had determined upon a
course which would occupy about two peart in
making the investigation, and thus wholly dr
featitsends. They had resolved to examine each
poll-book, summon each voter before them,
and question him personally as to his quali
fication aud other matters touching the elec
tion! By this means they hope to stave off
and entirely frustrate any timely investiga
tion.
Sudden Death.
IV e learn that Mr. Troutman, of Glennville,
Ala., while on a visit to this city, was sitting
in the porch of Dr. Cleckley’s'residence, on
Thursday evening last, and while in the act of
conveying a glass of water to his mouth liis
hand suddenly fell backwards aud he appeared
to be ill. On going to his assistance, he was
found to be dead beyond recovery Enquirer.
Rain in Western Alabama.
They are complaining of too much rain in
some parts of Alabama!—either to poke fun
at us, or bee-.use they are really monopolizing
the spring supply. The Eutaw Whig, ol Sat
i urday, announces that rain had fallen in gre;#
quantities during the three days previous;
that serious apprehensions of a spring freshet
i in the Warrior river were entertained, and
that there was a prospect lor such a river as
\ had not been seen for years! The Demopolis
American of Friday says it had been raining
there all the w eek, and that the Bigbee river
had risen twenty feet or more.
What a pity it is that we are not in Ala
bama—just now !
Storm at Mobile.
A severe storm of wind and rain prevailed
at Mobile on Thursday last. The News says:
It is long since such a storm has visited us: the
wind blew almost a hurricane, the rain fell in
torrents, and as we heard it very appropriate
ly remarked, “All Nature appeared to have
got on a regular bust.” We have heard of no
serious accident occurring, though, should the
storm have extended seaward, the coasting
vessels may have suffered somewhat.
Hon. Ogden Hoffman, a distinguished law
yer of the New York bar, died on the Ist inst.,
of congestion of the liver. Mr. Hoffman for
merly served one or two terms in Congress
witli distinction; he was afterwards elected
Attorney General of New York, and since that
time lias been regarded as one of the leading
and most eminent members of the New York
bar. Asa brilliant and eloquent advocate, he
perhaps had no equal New York.

Congressional.
Washington, May 1.
In the Senate, Mr. Weller submitted a reso
lution calling on the President for any corres
pondence not heretofore communicated, with
our Minister at Nicaragua, in regard to the
recognition of the new Nicaraguan government.
Mr. Weller said he entirely disagreed with the
policy of the administration, lie did not desire
annexation with Central America, but he want
ed to see a stable government there, and
thought that emigration to that country ought
to be encouraged. He said no man bad been
so shamefully misrepresented as Gen. Walker.
Gen. Walker was not a freebooter, but a man
of pure purposes.
A letter was read from Gen. Walker to a
Senator upon the interference of Great Britain
in the war between Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Mr. Seward opposed the resolution. Mr. Dou
glas avowed himself a sympathiser with the
present government of Nicaragua. He spoke
also of the gravity and importance of the ru
mored interference of England in Central
America, concerning American interests. Mr.
Butler argued against any action until full in
formation was received. The resolution was
withdrawn.
Mr. Toombs made a speech against the ac
tion ol’ the Naval Board, after which the Sen
ate adjourned.
The House passed the Indian Appropriation
bill, and a bill reviewing tlie act of ’53 re
lative to the suspended entries of public landß,
and the act of ’46 concerning suspended pre
emption land claims.
Mr. Maxwell made a speech on the Southern
side of the slavery question. Mr. Perry made
a speech inopposition to the extension of slave
ry.
Gen. Quitman introduced a bill for the re
peal of certain sections of the neutrality laws.
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary,
after which the House adjourned.
Not a Defaulter.
David C. Labatt, Esq., late Assistant Attor
ney for New Orleans, against whom a suit has
been entered to recover some $295,000 of the
city’s funds, alleged to be unaccounted for by
him, denies that he is in default. The amount
claimed, he says, consists of bills in suit and
uncollected, all of which he turned over to his
successor.
Tho Indian War on the Columbia River—
Successes of the Indians—The Town ol’
Cascades Burned by them.
From an extra of the Oregonian, dated
March J.,, 9 a. m., we condense the following:
We have received several letters within the
last twenty-four hours from points above along
the ( olumbia River. Tho Indians, it seems,
have by a coup dc main withdrawn all their
regulars who have been wintering at Vaucou
v ei, to the east side of the Cascade Mountains.
These Indians made a show of defiance at
White Salmon, burned a house or (wo, killed
and drove off a quantity of stock and commit
ted other depredations, whereupon all the
available torce ot the regular army were or
dered to move to the Indian country.
The Oregon volunteers who took the field
last September, and who have been in the In
dian country ever since, were about to cross
! Snake River and give the Indians battle. At
! this juncture, it seems, the Indians have di
! viJctl their forces, and by a military ruse have
J placed a large war party between both the
regulars, volunteers and the settlements, and
, have recommenced the war near our doors.
On Tuesday night, March 25, the Indians,
supposed to number eight hundred, attacked
the Cascades, and at our latest dates had full
and complete possession of the only pass by
winch communication can be had with either
j the regular forces or the volunteers now in the
! . “* le Indians have burned every build
ing at the Cascades. They have captured and
destroyed the steamer Mary, killed a large
number of the citizens, and yesterday were
fighting with the forces in the block house,
(tort Raines,) the number of which was not
over twenty-five.
Ihe Oregonian says there have been, siuce
the commencement of this Indian war, over
two hundred men killed in battle—about one
hundred cowardly murdered; about twenty
five women and children butchered ; someone
hundred dwelling houses burned, and many
hundred thousand dollars worth of property
destroyed. 1

LANG SYNE.
1;Y MBS. C. A. LKSTAHJLTTE.
How oft in memory’s glass doth fancy gaze,
With fond and yearning look, for days “ Bang Syne”—
Weeps, ns the flickering shadows of the past
Seem dimly struggling through oblivion's dusi,
Which bygone years have o’er the mirror strewn !
Tile pure and gushing fount of joyous youth
Hath care's foul slime its bubbling current checked,
Until the listless stream in sullen luugor creeps
Amid the tangled weeds which gird its silver wave.
Ami not a ripple dallies with the zephyr's breath;
‘Neath life’sdark shadow hath the heart grown cold,
No more can hope’s bright sunbeams gild the lowering
cloud.
For age hath taught us that its glittering rays
And gay reflections dazzle to delude;
As light, when quenched, hut shows how deep the
gloom,
While mourning for the past the “spirit's"’ voice
No hymns of gladness raise, the heart no song,
Have one whose Sorrow ing cadence mourns,
lii tlie sad music of the dying swan,
Bright dreams departed with the vanished years.
Destructive Fire in Chattanooga.
Avery destructive fire occurred at Chatta
nooga, Tcnn., on Monday the 28th ult. From
the Gazette of the Ist instant we copy the
following particulars :
“About three o’clock in the afternoon Haines
were discovered issuing from the roof of the
large ami new house occupied by Messrs.
Grenville, Sample k Cos., opposite the W. & A.
R. R. depot, and before any article could be
removed or any check put to the flames the
entire interior of the establishment was in a
flame. There were some two hundred thou
sand pounds of bacon in this house, which of
course was entirely destroyed. The loss is
heavy, though we are pleased to learn that
the owners, Grenville, Sample & Cos., were
partially insured. They are active, thorough
going business men, and will recover from
their loss, large as it is.
From this house the flames spread to the
one adjoining, a warehouse tilled with miscel
laneous articles of produce. A large quantity
of wheat the property of Pardue, Bryan & Cos.
was destroyed.
The next was a Sale & Livery stable.—
nothing in it except some provender—which
together with the building was entirely de
stroyed.
The next was a warehouse occupied by
Messrs. Long k Smith. This building had
been emptied of its contents before the fire
reached it, and was only partially destroyed
by the fire.
All the above buildings belonged to Col. A.
11. Johnson, and were not ensured. The loss
come heavily upon him, though we hope he
will, in a short time, recover from the dam
age and come out with flying colors once
more.
In the warehouse of Messrs. Grenville, &
Sample, there was a large quantity of salt
stored which will be taken out in a damaged
condition, and a portion of the wheat of Par
due, Bryan k Cos., will also be saved in a
damaged state. We are not prepared to state
exactly what the whole losses are, but sup
pose they cannot fall short of $60,000 or $70,-
000.
Our citizens fought the fire manfully after
they paraded a supply of buckets and got a
line formed to a neighboring pond of water.
Wheat.
Personal observation and much inquiry,
have led us to the conclusion that if no unto
ward disaster overtakes the wheat crop be
tween this time and harvest, the yield in this
section be at least as much as usual. It is
true that a good deal of it is thin upon the
ground—in some instances a very poor “stand
—still, there being a greater breadth sown
than ordinary, and much of it looking quite
promising, as it surely does, we think we may
safely conclude that there will be no falling
off in this region. —-Athena Watchman.

Travel from the Soutii.
The New York Express says that the travel
from the South, thus early in the season, is
beginning to be very extensive. The steam
ers all arrive well filled. A single steamer
from Savannah brought upwards of two hun
dred. a large proportion of them families.
Snch occurrences ns these are well cacula
ted to discredit the idea that the South will
ever take any practical steps, either of retali
ation for the plunder of its slave property, or
to establish its own independence. It is an
easy thing to pass topluftical resolutions,
make blood and thunder speeches, and in the
one word, “Yankee,” condense the abhor
rence and contempt of the whole soul. This,
we say, is eimy, nay, it is pleasurable, and
gratifies the same love of excitement and nov
elty which leads people to go North every
summer, and spend their money like water
among the Yankees aforesaid; but it is not the
way to secure Southern property, or Southern
independence.
