COLUMBUS: Tmnday Moi'iilng, May 0, 1856. 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 isiana, for sale. — • The steamer Oswichce arrived up on Satur day afternoon, and the Laura yesterday mor ning, with light freights, the river being very low. Both were at our wharves last evening. • 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 Union. 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. British Machine Poetry. The following doggerel has been cut from an English paper and handed tous by a friend. The “ mushcen” that ground it out is evident ly a creaking aud ricketty old fogy contrivance, and is as greatly inferior to a real Yankee poe try factory as the old tubs of the Cunard line are to our new steamship Adriatic.

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 For the Daily Bun. 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. + St. Louis Water, A chemist has furnished the St..

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.
