COI/tf MBITS: Thursday Morning) May lHftft. LAUUEST CITY 11RCULATIOK. Rev. James if. DeVotie, of Alabama, lias accepted an invitation to become Ibe pastor ot ihe Baptist Church of this city. Mr. DoA otic is a divine distinguished for /.cal. eloquence and efficiency iu his calling, uutl has filled ac ceptably many high stations in Alabama. . - -■ See the notice of the opening of Mr. Iveni merer’s Singing School, in another column.— The juveniles will be delighted by a visit U>,it. Only SIOO Salary tor the City Judge ! it is understood that the City Council have fixed the salary of the Judge of our new Crimi nal Court at only SIOO per annum. We have hoard it said that this was not done on account ol’ any personal or political antipathy to the Judge elect, but because the Council nre op posed to the creation of the Court and wish to render it inefficient. The motive, in our judg ment, is unjustifiable and contrary to the spirit of the law. Whatever may be the opinion of the Council as to the necessity or expediency of instituting this Court, if is clearly their duty now to give efficiency to the act estab lishing it and to carry out the law iu its spirit. The time for resistance was when the bill was pending before the Legislature; any ‘•impe diment” interposed now is factious and in spirit illegal, and woliopo that the “sober sec ond thought” will so convinco the Council. It is a matter to be regretted that tin; Coun cil did not determine the salary before the election, as there could not then have been a suspicion even that party feeling operated iu the matter, and the candidatcscould then have decided whether they would accept the office with a merely nominal and wholly inadequate salary. . . - - The River. Our river has risen about one foot within the last two days, which indicates much more rain up the country than we have been favored with. The steamers Ben Franklin and South Car olina arrived, and the Oswichee left, yester day morning. The South Carolina also left about sundown. We heard, yesterday, that the Tampa was aground a shortdistnnce below this city. ♦ - - Wo learned, as we were going to press, that the Hon. IV. C. Da wsou, late Senator in Con gress from this State, died very suddenly, at his residence in Greensboro, on Tuesday. The Circuit Court of Muscogee county is now in session in this city—His Honor Judge Worrill presiding. We learn that the Grand Jury is busily engaged, and offenders may be on the look-out accordingly. The reports of yellow fever at many of the West Indian and South American ports, and the occasional arrival at our own ports of ves sels whose crews have suffered from it on the voyage, have prompted the authorities of cities along the Atlantic coast to use all precautions within their power to avert the dreaded scourge. At Norfolk and Portsmouth thorough measures for cleansing the cities have been adopted, nud the quarantine regulations will no doubt be strictly enforced. Much appre hension on the subject exists there. It is stat ed that a strict quarantine will he enforced at New York as soon as warm weather sets in. ■ ■■II ii Rev. Alex. Speer, equally distinguished as an ardent politician in his youth and a zealous and able Methodist Minister in more mature years, died of paralysis, at LaGrange, on the 28th ult., in the 63d year of his age. — A Great Hail Storm. Mr. W. 11. C. Price, in a letter to tho Mont gomery Mail, gives some account of an extra ordinary hail-storm at Auburn, Ala., and its vicinity, on Sunday afternoon. The stones varied in size from a pen to a lemon, but the prevailing size was about as large as a guinea egg! Mr. Price measured one which was 8 by 7 inches ! Os course, stones of this size, falling for the space of twenty minutes, must have occasioned much damage. Fruit trees and gardens were riddled, window glass bro ken in great quantities, and turkeys nud smaller poultry killed in every yard. This storm extended into Russel county.— We have learned that great quantities of hail fell in some sections, aud that disasters sim ilar to those mentioned at Auburn were nu merous. Had the crops been more advanced they would have received very serious injury; but both cotton and corn are small and backward. The fruit, no doubt, was beaten down and the trees injured to a consid erable extent. ♦ The Panama Railroad. The Postmaster General has, through the President, sent a communication to Congress in reference to tho transportation of the mails across the Isthmus, which exhibits in a strong light the grasping proclivities of monopolies. Now that the Nicaragua Transit route lias been closed, or become too hazardous for the Department to resort : it, the Pauaum Rail road Company demur l a greatly increased compensation for carrying the mails. They require the very moderate sum of twenty-two cents per pound for transporting mail matter across the narrow Isthmus! This being now tho only available route, the Postmaster Gen eral says he unwillingly yields for the pres ent to the unjust and exhorbitant demand, and he asks authority to contract with the Railroad Company at a price not to exceed fifty thousand dollars per annum for convey ance across the Isthmus alone, and for the semi-monthly conveyance of the mails from New York and New Orleans alternately to San Francisco, via Nicaragua and Panama, at a sum not exceeding $200,000 per annum. Would it not be a measure of economy, as well as of right and justice, for our Govern ment at once to clear out all obstructions to the Nicaragua route, whether they be Costa Rican invaders or British war vessels ? And how long can our Government afford to per mit the negroes .at Panama to destroy mail matter which costa it 22 cents per pound for safe transportation •fifty miles? Main Trunk Railway. The Savannah Journal publishes nil intni*- esting letter to its editor from Gov. Di'uome, of Florida, in reference to r,h<; location of tl*- route of this road. The main idea f the Governor is that it ought, not to run tiirtln-i ----south than a direct line IVoni Warenlioro’ t. Newton, because, if it approaches nearer t<> the Florida line, it.- Im duo.-- will scriwul.v interfere with that of the Alligator and To 1- 1 assee Railroad, and il could in that event i allowed inj.eonncolioii with any road'in I'loi- . ida and no pic-ugo acne-: her tevritwy •* > Pensacola. Rut, il run by New tun (wliicli line continued would make it strike the t'lin * tnhoochcc opposite Columbia in Alabama , there would be a nearly uniform width of sixty.- or sixty-five miles between the < corgia oix*! Florida roads; nud the Governor thinks that i t the Newton route is selected, Florida may 1>: induced to consent to a connection of the tw o roads by a branch running south (via Ila ii— bridge) to the Florida road from to Pensacola, at or near the Apalachicola rivui-. He thinks that this route would not be juoi-o than ten miles longer than a direct road from Warosboro’ to Pensacola, which cannot lie (At tained without legislation on the part of Flov ida, which she will hardly consent to. Th Governor would also require Georgia to aid in building the road from the junction to Pens. * - cola, or he would not favor any concession on the part of Florida. He says that Georgia, cannot run her road into Florida, or form airy connection with a Florida road, under any charter now existing. These views of Gov. Rvoome are certainly entitled to consideration and weight in deter mining tlic location of tho Main Trunk. lion. Robert I>. Gilchrist, Judge of tho United States District Court of South CtiViffi - na, died in Charleston on the 2d inst, ii L.~s health had for some time been bud. At a meeting of the members of the Charleston Bar, held on the otli inst., speeches were made, and resolutions passed, attesting a high appreciation of his worth as “an uprightJudgc and a wise and incorruptible public servant Tho Camels have come. Tho United States storoship Supply has ar rived at Galveston from Smyrna, with thirty five camels on board. The Supply was sent out last fall to procure these camels for il c purpose of trying the experiment of trans porting the mails on them across tho plains to California, &c. One of the animals only died on the voyage. Several Arabs Mcom pany them ns keepers, and an inclosure of ten acres has been prepared at [ndianola., Texas, for their temporary accommodation, where they will remain until fully recruite'l. The experiment is a novel one, but there i.-s every reason to believe that it will soccer* 1 (unless molested by the Indians) and will be of great public accommodation until the “iron horse” commences bis rapid flight across tho great plains. Congressional. Washington, Alay 5,185(1. In tho Senate to-day nothing was done. The House has passed the bill for the re moval of the obstructions in the Savannah River. Mr. Clingman offered a resolution author izing the President to employ any part of th e laml or naval force of the country and volun teers to protect the passengers and other American citizens on their route to the Pa cific No action, however was taken on the resolution, and the House adjourned. The rumor that the President had decided immediately to recognize Walker’s Minister is untrue. Kansas Affairs in tho Massachusetts Legislature. Boston, May 1. In the Senate to-day two reports were sub mitted from tho special committee upon Kan sas affairs. The majority reported a series of resolutions, taking strong Northern ground, denouncing the interference of the bonier ruf fians, the bogus Territorial Legislature, and tho course of the national administration, de claring that Kansas should be admitted as :i free State, and commending the cause to the sympathy of the people of Massachusetts. The resolutions were ordered to a second reading. The minority report, which is signed by two members of the committee, maintains the le gality of the Territorial Legislature and law ts, and sustains the course of the administration. Later from Kansas. St. Louis, May 5. A letter received in this city from Westport, expresses hopes that Sheriff Jones will recove v. Col. Sumner would remain at Lawrence wit li his whole command until the arrests were made. Parties had been sent to Lecompton. The Deputy Sheriff of Douglas county was having writs issued against one hundred citi zens of Lawrence for violations of the Territo rial law. Col. Sumner had threatened the people for having fired into the soldiers'tents*. Gov. Robinson charged the act upon the pro slavery party, which Col. Sumner denied,sav ing that lie would soon settle the matter if t lie Government would permit him, Mr. Fillmore. Boston, Mayo. A letter received from Mr. Haven, the for mer law partner of Mr. Fillmore, says that the report that Mr. Fillmore had declined the nomination of the American party forthoPres i - was unfounded, and that there is no doubt that lie would accept. * Land Warrants have declined 1A to l! cent a per acre, and tho dealers, both here and in Vork, report the market flat, with a tendonc V downward. Wequote the following tisthobuy ing rates to-day, viz: 120’s and 00’s SI 04-Jperncre. 160’s t 09* ‘< 60’s 1 10 The market being unsettled, a few warrants may have sold a figure overor two under these quotations. It is supposed that the recent rumors rela tive to “forged land warrants” have had ii tendency to contribute to the decline,—llW,. Organ. Large Sale of Negroes. At the sale of tho negroes belonging to the estate of William Zeigler, late of Crawford Cos. in this State, consisting of 19G, and ages, ranging from 81 to infants, they brought the large sum of $148,966; being an average of $736,51, apiece. They sold in families ac cording to the will of the testator. The lar gest family consisted of nine persons, $5,900- We think it a great mistake that negroes bring less when sold in families, to say nothing of the humanity of the policy. —Macon Mmmger FROM KANSAS. The Shooting of Sheriff Jones—More Troops sent for. rrim flu* Post. May 1. A gentleman who arrived iu thi city yester day from Kansas, gives us the latest anil most import ans intelligence ‘from that territory.—- lie is a gentleman well known iu this city, and liis statements can be fullyTelied on. W c may slate that he is nut a democrat or a party man, mid makes perfectly impartial statements. (Ic gives, f acts ...ml leaves the .reader to diaw the inferences. He left Lawrence, Kansas, on the 21thof April, and reached here late at night outlie 29th. Only five days through. lie say- that prey ion- to April I'.lth, every thing was quietin the Territory, aud free-,State and pro-slavery men were living in harmony, and .attending quietlyto their own affairs'. On the 19th Sheriff Jones left Lecompton with a small posse of men for Lawrence, for the pur pose of arresting the notorious S. N. Wood, against whom he had no less than six warrants, one issued on the complaint of a froc-State man. On the arrival of the Sheriff at Law rence he arrested Mr. Wood. V crowd imme diately collected and rescued Wood, taking from the Sheriff at the same time a pistol, the only weapon lie had, and drove Iriui out of the town with many insults, lie returned to Le compton, the place of his residence. * On .Sunday, the 20th of April, with a small number of assistants, became to arrest Wood again. On his arrival here he made a list of the names of men in Lawrence on whom lie called for assistance in the discharge of his duty. They refused to obey. Finding he could get no assistance, he quietly returned to Lecompton. It is presumed he informed Gov. Shannon that he could not make the arrest without a military force, as the Governor im mediately sent to Fort Leavenworth for troops, and sent a telegraphic message to the Presi dent. Only twelve soldiers were sent for, as it was the aim to prevent anything serious from occurring. They came to Lawrence with Sheriff Jones on Wednesday, April 23d, and proceeded to make tiie following arrests: •!. G. Fuller and A. J. Smith, charged with res cuing S. N. Wood from the Sheriff on the Sat urday previous; and the following persons for refusing to assist the Sheriff on the next day after the rescue: GeorgeF. Warren, F. Hunt, A. D. Lyman and the noted John Hutchinson. The citizens did not interfere with these ar rests. No resistance or disturbance arose.— After the arrest ho took the prisoners to a public house kept by a man named Hinman, where he left them in charge of the soldiers, giving them a good supper at ins own cost.— Our informant was stopping at thesamo house, and eat at the same table.’ The Sheriff was in and out of the house un til twenty minutes past nine o’clock at night. The Sheriff then went out, and some three or four pistol shots were scon heard. Mr. Hin man came in twenty minutes afterwards, and said that Sheriff Jones was shot and des perately wounded. < )ur informant went out to ascertain the facts. He found everything apparently quiet. The soldiers had pitched two tents back of the inn, in one of which the officers of the military slept, ft was ascer tained that the Sheriff was shot at three times, bat not injured. He then went to the officers’ tent and sat down in the back part of it. Some persons, as yet unknown, when our informant left, walked round the tent and fired a ball through the canvass of the tent. It struck the Sheriff in tho small of the back, destroying the spine. He sent for a doctor who advised his removal to the Free-State Hotel, where the Congress Investigating Committee then'were. The Sheriff was carried from the tent to that hotel, where four physicians paid him all at tention during the night. He bled profusely and suffered severely, and by morning he was very weak and almost pulseless, and no hopes were entertained of his recovery. Kven should he recover he must be cripple for life. On that day our informant left, and is now in Pittsburg. On the Wednesday that the Sher iff was shot a party of ten soldiers on their way from an Indian station passed through Lawrence, and crossing the river encamped some live hundred yards from the city. After the Sheriff was shot Lieut. Mclntosh sent for them : and they returned about two o’clock at night. So on Thursday morning there were twenty-two United States soldiers, all told, in the city, and all was quiet. Thcprisoncrs had not been rescued. An order had been sent to Fort Leavenworth for more troops, and fifty had leftfor Lawrence to preserve the peace. The American Question. What hidden motive is producing the exas perating and uncalled-for articles upon Amer ican affairs in the Times? It cannot be the profits of the journalist that impels these in sulting and mischievous diatribes, for every body is indignant at the recklessness of the writer. Just at the timo when every states man is disposed to show the greatest reserve and forbearance in alluding to our difficulties with the United States, the Times is hurling insults across the Atlantic with as little thought as a schoolboy bestows on liis squibs and crackers. Yesterday in an article upon the close of the Russian war, we are told that having disposed of one pretender to universal dominion in the East, we must now prepare to meet another in the West. America, wo are gravely told, is aiming at the dictatorship of the world. If so, she is aiming at it through some means totally different from those of the great military powers of Europe. America, with an army of twelve thousand men, with u navy numbering but one line-of-battle-ship, u"il with her whole coast entirely without de fences, seeking to place herself “above all the world, is a supposition so monstrous that it will be viewed in America as a mere pretence for covering designs on the part of Europe against America. England at the head of her army cud navy, is novv a very formidable power for instant operations against any enemy ; and the Amer icans who persist in regarding the Times as the organ ot Lord Clarendon, will suspect that this language covers some design, oris intend ed to precipitate some quarrel with them.— Me observe, too, that it is said that the Eng lish and French navies are uniting in the Gulf ot Mexico for a visit to Central America.— We hope this is not true. What business has 1 ranee in this quarrel ? She is not a party to the t layton-Bulwer Treaty—she is not the protector of the Mosquito Indians. What bn siuess has she, or rather, what right have we to call in her armed interference hi that dis pute ? M’o trust there is no truth in the report. It would confirm the interpretation put by the Americans on the language of Lord Clarendon in the House—that England and France were prepared to act in concert upon American af fairs.—London Morning Star.

The London Times of tho sth ultimo has an article upon the evacuation of the Turkish territory by tho itllieil armies, that contains suggestions of interest, an,l, to our mind, of no little insignificance. We append a portion of it, from Which present distrust or future ulterior purposes may be inferred, according to the fancy of the reader: “The presence of the Western forces in the East is now only a question of months. Such a war ns this has, of course, causod the accu mulation of immense stores of all kinds. The British army is said to be provided with food anil other necessaries for nearly a twelvemonth. All kinds fit’ warlike material have been des patched to the Bosphorus, in expectation of a stoutly contested campaign between immense armies iu a country where everything must be provided beforehand. We have barracks, sta bling, hutting in incalculable quantities.— Even what must necessarily be left behind in camp will be a rich prize for the Russians who may first occupy the ground now so well known to Englishmen. The ports of Turkey are full of British vessels; the buildings which do duty for Warehouses arc overflowing with British property, intended for the use of the army. It may confidently be expected that the year 1867 will be far advanced before the last man and the last cargo of shells can pass the Dardanelles on their way homeward. Nor can we think that any haste is necessary iu completing the evacuation. We have accu mulated large stores aud assembled a great, army for the defence of Turkey, and there is no reason that we should incur the expense of new transports aud a greater amount of labor, in order to hurry back with such speed as may gratify (he desire of those whom we saved to be quickly rid of us. Let the retirement be decently effected by the means at the dis posal of the authorities, and let us not aban don our privilege of employing a military and naval force in the oouutry as long as there are stores to guard or transports to direct. Cer tainly, as long as Austria retains her hold of tho l'rincipalities there should be a French and English force on the Bosphorus. We were the first and most devoted allies of Tur key, and it is our duty, no less than our right, to hold our position until the last foreign sol diers, whether neutrals on the Danube or en emies iu Armenia, have quitted the Turkish soil. “England is peculiarly situated in one re spect. More than 20,000 of the Turkish troops have been taken into her service, are commanded by English officers, and are under the orders of the English Commander-in-Chief. This body i ill soon leave the point of Russian territory w iieh it now occupies. An impor taut quest) m is, what is to become of what was the Ti rkish contingent? Ft seems to us that England might well advise, or insist that it should be perpetual, or at least exist for a time. Tho peculiar fitness of the British offi cers to command Orientals has been often proved. Not to speak of Clive or Coote, we may take instances from tbc history of Tur key itself. More than half a century since, an Englishman commanding a handful of Musslemen on the rampart of Acre, caused the subsequent conqueror of Europe to ex claim: “That man has changed ipy destiny!” Tho defence of Silistvia and the defence of Kars are fresh in the remembrance of every one. Nor has the Turkish contingent itself failed to show during the short time that it has existed the capabilities of its officers and the spirit and obedience of its men. The per petuation of this force under some other name seems a plan likely to benefit Turkey as much as it reflects credit ou our own coun try. There is nothing to prevent England from lending an efficient staff of officers to her ally, nor is there anything in the constitution of the Turkish State which could make such an arrangement injurious or derogatory.” Large Location of Land. I t is said that Gen. Simpkins, of South Car olina, has contracted with a large land dealer of Galveston for fifty thousand acres of Texas lands. The General is now sojourning in Port Lavaca. Dr. Ford, of the Austin Times, and Mnj. B. J. White, of Jackson, arc his resident agents in that State ; also Col. Bob Wilson, of Houston, and Judge Mills, of Lamar. Gen. Simpkins is said to be a man of great wealth, and deeply interested in theprosperity of Texas. On his late visit to Austin, he was invited, by resolution, to a seat in the House of Repre sentatives. Tho General has many old friends and acquaintances in Texas, who remember his efforts to servo our cause many years ago. The citizens of San Antonio hope to have him permanently scttledainoug them. Aside from his wealth and enterprise, Geu. Simpkins has a national reputation as the author of “The Mule Trade,” and “ Buck Pettus in the Land lady’s Hoorn,” two literary productions of great merit. ♦ ■ • Old Heinelsperger, a few days since, gave to his only son, a (premising specimen of “Young Germany,”) an antiquated male goose, and told him he might fatten the fowl and sell it in the market. A short time after, the old gentleman discovered the gander near the wood pile, minus that important append age, a heal. lie called his son, and, in an angry tone, demanded : “ Shonny, vot for you kill the goosey shick- | en, eh ?” Shonny shook iiis fist at the decapitated goose, aud answered : “ Vot for he vant to bite me, den, eh ?” No man can avoid his own company, so he bad better make it as good as possible.
