Alabama Elections.
Wo have as yet only a few returns ol the
election held in Alabama on Monday last.
In Russel county, Wm. J. Underwood, Esq.,
was elected Superintendent of Education, by
lb majority over Dr. Keunon. Heflin, Dem
ocrat, beat Dougherty, K. X., 36 votes for
* circuit Judge.
Macon county has re-elected Alexander,
Independent, I’robate Judge, over Lanier and
Derry, K. N. candidates. Dougherty 115!*,
Heflin 675, Fnulknor 25. Convention 1091,
No Convention 027.
In Montgomery, David Campbell, Demo
crat, has been elected l’robate Judge by a
plurality vote, over Coleman and Gunter, K.
N. The county has probably given a small
majority fur Convention. McWhorter, .Super
intendent.
Wo have a report from Chambers, that that
county gives Dougherty 0(10 majority. We
therefore conclude that lie is most probably
elected, for Faulkner must have received a
considerable Democratic vote, as he pretty
nuroly will also in his own county (Tallapoo
sa), and we do not think that Heflin can
overcome Dougherty’s present majority of
850, in Randolph and Talladega.
In Pike, Fitzpatrick, Democrat, was re
elected Probate Judgo by a large majority
over Worthy, K. N. Moody, Superintendent.
Convention and No Convention nearly even.

Our cotemporaries at Saraunah and Charles
ton are rejoicing over the refreshing rains
with which tlieir neighborhoods were favored
on Tuesday evening. These showers were
greatly needed, and vegetation has been much
revived by thom. We congratulate them on
their good fortune, and trust that wo may not
tie much longer overlooked in tho bestowment
ol refreshing rains in their season; for the
spring time has nearly passed, tho sultry
summer is at hand, and the stinted and with
ering vegetation can make no growth or pro
gress.
We learn front the Reporter, that they had
tin# rains nt LnGrange also, on the same day.
For Kansas.
We are glad to see that Mouth Carolina
abates not her exertions to secure Kansas to
tho .South, but that small companies are sent
<*n every two or three days from different
portions ol’ that State. Has Georgia t ired
already in this race ‘ Has our own part
of the State, especially, exhausted its re
sources in giving aid to Maj. Buford’s coin*
pauy ! Wo trust not, but hope to see auothcr
movement started and liberally encouraged.—
Tho South has much work yet to do, ere she
can claim Kansas for her own, and Southern
Georgia has not yet accomplished her part.
•‘Dome up to the work!”

ble interest is manifested in Now York. Many
of the papers (some of them Democratic) de
cidedly condemn the course of the Cabinet,
and urge the necessity of recognising the Ri
vas Government forthwith. No doubt this
course will be urged by all parties st tbo
meetings call oil in tlinso cities.
Capt. Blythe Accepts*.
W learn from unquestionable authority,
says tho Mississipian, that Capt. A. K. Blythe
has accepted the appointment of Consul to
Havana, tendered him by the President, and
will leave for tho scene of his duties about the

Nations and their Destinies.” *
It is wonderful to note, at times, the very
slight influence which cvv n the grentest em
barrassments to its finau cial, military, or eom
mcrcial resources exerd sc upon what passing
events and persistent progress seem to indicate
hs n nation’s “destiny..” It would sometimes
seam as if an open pat'u of conquest or of civ
ilization lay before it, nnd however great may
be the luieral pressure, or however damaging
the assault on the rearguard, no obstacle can
he interposed, and no check given to its steady
advance in the path blazed out before it by
the indications of tlu: past or the instincts of
the present generation.
The great movements ol the nntious of Eu
rope—whose conflicting schemes and “mani
fest destinies” brought about the bloody drama |
just now term ilia toil—form no exception to this ‘
rule. Formauy years, the progress and “des- ;
tiny” ot llussia ha been contiguous annexa
tion to her wide-spread territory and the ab
sorption of neighboring communities, while
that of Great Britain lias as dearly been the
conquest of distaut. weak and semi-barbarous
petty tribes. They both emerge from the late
war ostensibly as baffled nnd weakened powers
—Russia as the party to whom the terms of
peace Jitivc been dictated, and Great Britain
as the allied power whose great warlike re
source (her navy) accomplished nothing, and
whose troops in the field could never equal the
exploits of those of France. Yet both have,
during this war, made great advance in the
paths ol progress and “ destiny” which have
long been so dearly blazed out before them.
During the war, Russia has acquired and “an
nexed” a large and valuable extent of country
on her southern Asiatic border; she lias ex
tended her possessions southward to the great
river Amour, made that stream the boundary
between her own and the Chinese possessions,
acquired thereby a scope of'desirable territory
two or three degrees iu width and of greater
length, opened for her commercial and milita
ry transportation a thousand miles of inland
navigation, and already established in a tem
perate latitude a busy mart near the sea for
her trade and tmvy. Blie has also, dining this
war, quelled the long-continued rebellion in
Circassia and brought that hitherto trouble
some acquisition into quiet subjection. She
has also proved to the world that the “sick
man” i* hopelessly diseased and decrepit, and
has pretty elenrly demonstrated the ease with
which she can, at no very distant day, (when
his sympathising friends arc called awaj r by
other engagements, or are quart eling among
thomsclvcs) step in, pronounce him dead, bury
hint, aud administer on his effects.
Great Britain, too, has made considerable
‘progress, during the war, in her path of ad
vancement and “destiny.” Another and im
portant kingdom of India lias fallen a prey to
her “filibustering” progress. In southern
Africa she has deposed the king of Cape Coast,
aud will no doubt formally appropriate and di
gest his territory in a very short time. Bho
has also succeeded in gaining a commercial
foothold in Japan, and past experience proves
that this is but a preliminary step to her fu
ture conquest and aggrandizement. In the
meantime she retains her footing in Central
America and the adjacent islands, in spite of
positive treaty stipulations for tlieir abandon
ment, and suffers no other broil or difficulty
to bring about any abatement of her determin
ed policy or interpose any check to her con
stant advance in the path of her 4 “ destiny.”
Truly, it would appear that with nations as
witli individuals,

City Judge’s Salary.
Columbus, May 7, 1856.
Editor* Time* and Sentinel —ln an editorial
article in your last tri-weekly, in speaking of
the salary of the Judge of the Criminal Court,
you take occasion to insinuate that party feel
ing caused tho salary to be fixed at SIOO. As
the author of the resolution passed, allow mo
to say, sir, that uo such motive prompted me,
and that the insinuation is alike false and in
sulting, and I believe itis equally so as regards
those who voted with me.
lam an American, and was a Whig before
the organization of the American party, and
am now, and while I may look with some de
gree of contempt upon the demoralizing policy
of the Democratic party, or any other, which
panders to the prejudices (as 1 conceive,) of an
ignorant and deluded foreign population for
the purpose of gaiuing their support, and for
that purpose only, I can never briug myself so
low in tho scale in tvhicli gentlemen arc weigh
ed, as to permit myself, in my official capaci
ty, to commit an act calculated to injure a
gentleman so worthy the confidence of his fel
low citizens as Capt. I*. 11. Colquitt, merely to
gratify my political prejudice*. 1 could go on
and givo a defeuce of my position, but 1 do
not choose to do so here.
in conclusion, sir, allow me to hope that
you have not measured my grain in your own
halt’ bushel.
In justice to myself and others, l hope you
will give this note a place in your paper.

Editor Daily Sun: Tho above note was sent
to the Times aud Sentinel, iu answer to an
article which appeared in that paper, and its
publication refused by the Editor, on the
ground that “no man of sense will construe
my (his) article into an imputation upon tho
Council.” All this may be true, but there are
many persons of his own political stripe who
place the same construction on his article that
1 do, and therefore I desire its publication in
the columns of your independent journal.

Death ol William Crosby Dawson.
The pniul'ul intelligence reached our city
yesterday of the death of the Hou. Wm. C
Dawson, and produced a deep and universal
feeling of sorrow. It occured at his residence
in Greensboro', about three o’clock yester
day morning.
This sail event will cause the most sorrow
ful emotions, not only iu the community in
which this distinguished gentleman lived—not
only throughout the State of Georgia, of which
he was a favorite and much honored son, hut
in every part of the Union, for he wh u exten- j
sivcly known and generally beloved.
Mr. Dawson filled many posts oi responsi
bility and distinction during his long and hon
orable career in the public service of his State
and country. In early life he was a member
ol the Legislature, and for ten years Clerk of
tho House of Representatives, lie was, sub
qucntly, under the general ticket system elect- :
and, several times, member of Congress, where i
lie served with credit and distinction. He al- !
so, for a short period, filled the office of ‘
Judge of the Superior Court, and was .Sen
ator iu Congress for six years prior to March,
1855. At Washington City ho was a univer
sal favorite. He was much admired for his
.courtliness of mauners and amenity of tem
per. When about to retire at the close of his
Senatorial term, he was presented with a ser
vice of plate, as a token of the esteem of his
many friends nnd admirers in the Federal
City.
Mr. Dawson served the people of Georgia
long and faithfully in tho public councils. In
matters of private business for his constitu
ents, requiring vigilant attention and patient
labor, lie was ever their efficient representa
tive. In matters of high public import, lie
was ever at his post, ready to give to the sub
ject in baud Ids best energies aud most pa
triotic efforts. But is it not as the advocate
or the statesman, the loss of Mr. Dawson will
be most deeply felt and mourned by his fel
low citizens. It is as the kind and amiable
gentleman—the warm hearted, hospitable and
generous friend—the benevolent and sympa
thizing man, with a hand “open as the day to
melting charity,” that lie will be most feel
ingly remembered. The death of such a man
is a public calamity There can be no division
of sentiment—no distinction of classes or par
ties—in doing honor to his memory.
We compile from the Historical Collections
of Georgia, the following:
The Hou. W. C. Dawson was horn iuGrecuo
county, Ga., and his academic course was first
taken under the direction of the llcv. Dr.
Cummins, and afterwards at the county acade
my in Groensborough. At an early age ho
entered Franklin College, and was graduated
in 1816.
Upon leaving College, lie immediately com
menced the study of law in the office of tbe
Hon. Thos. Cobb, at Lexington; and at the ex
piration of a year he entered the Law School
at Litchfield, Conn., under the care of Judges
lteevc and Gould. Alter taking a lull course
of lectures, he returned to Groensborough,
was admitted to the bar, and iu a short time
ranked very high in his profession.
In 1821, he was elected Clerk of the House
of Representatives of the State Legislature ;
aud it is a proof of his fidelity as an officer,
and his amiable character as a man, that
through frequent changes of party supremacy,
he filled that office for teu or eleven consecu
tive years. In 1828, he was appointed by the
Legislature to compile the statutes of Georgia,
which duty he performed to the satisfaction of
the General Assembly and the legal profession.
In 1845, he was appointed by Gov. Crawford
to fill a vacancy on the bench of the Ocmulgee
Circuit. Iu 1834-’5, he represented Greene
county in the State Senate. In 1830, he was
elected to Congress, and re-clectcd in 1838
and 1840.
The Creek and Seminole Indians in Florida,
aud on the line of Georgia, becoming hostile
in 1836, Judge Dawson raised a company of
volunteers, to the command of which he was
elected, and under the authority of the State
Government, took the field. Gen. Scott, who
had at that time taken tho conduct of the
Florida war, gave him a separate command,
and detailed him upon a special service, which
he performed to the satisfaction of that gallant
soldier.
In tho winter of 1847, he was elected to the
United States Seriate, and at the close of his
term retired to private life.
Frightful Tragedies in Memphis—Two Men
Killed.
We learn from the Momphis (Touu.) Eagle,
of the Ist inst., that early in the afternoon of
the 30th ult., the report of a pistol was heard
at the house of Mrs. Dallman, on the corner of
Main atul Jefferson streets, in that city. V
moment afterwards, Benjamin Conner, a da
guerreotypist, was seen emerging from tho
door with a pistol in one hand and a parrot
in the other. lie was followed by a Mr. Wil
liams, who was demanding possession of tho
bird. Conner turned and presented the pistol
at Williams, who got behind the gate post, and
Conner then walked away. Williams had,
however, been mortally wounded by tbo shot
fired in the house, and he fell to the earth.—
The alarm had been raised and several citi
zens pursued Conner, among others, Mr. W.
C Matliais, who tired at him Conner imme
diately turned on Mr. W. C. Matliais and
commenced firing. At the third shot Mr.
Matliais fell—a ball having pierced his heart,
and lie expired in a few minutes. Conner
again flod, but was seized by an Irishman,
who held him until the crowd came up. A
brother of Mr. Matliais whished to aveugo
his relative’s death on the spot, in their own
hands, but the City Marshal finally prevailed,
and Conner wos locked in the calaboose. Mr.
Williams lingered till the evening, when he
died. It appears that he had given the par
rot to a young Indy iu the city, who had re
turned it to hiiu, but wishing afterward to re
possess it, she had sent Conner to get it.
Conner, before being arrested, threw the bird
into the yard of the house where the young
lady lives.— Augusta Chronicle.

Kansas Items.
We take tbe following items of interest from
the Enterprise, published at Kansas City, Mo.,
on the borders of the territory.
“The Star ol the West landed at our wharf
to-day, April 12, over ono hundred emigrants
from Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and
Kentucky.”
Over 400 emigrants hail arrived within two
days, and more than 1,000 during the week.
Benjamin Brantley, Esq., and family ar
rived on the 12th en route for the Territory.
Mr. B. is well known iu the upper part of this
State, where he has always resided until iu
fectcd with the Western fever.
Six steamers arrived during the week, all
with large lroight aud a number of passengers.
Nine steamers left for St. Louis and other
ports in the same time.
Tho quotations of some of the principal ar
ticles are ns follows: Missouri Lead 7; Flour
extra $4 25 a $4 50, superfine $4 a $4 25;
Bacon, hams 9 a 10c., sides9c, shoulders S.’.c.
Furs have advanced, Prime Coon quoted “at
45 a 55c., Mink 50 to 60c., Fox 20 to 30c.-
Otter $1 25 to $1 75.
The Enterprise says that building is pro
gressing rapidly, but there is a serious draw
back for want of mechanics of all kinds and
laborers. “Any number of carpenters, brick
layers, stone-masons, brick-makers are want
ed immediately. Laborers can fiud constant
employment and the highest wages at Kansas
Gitv. Five hundred men are now needed.”
The Mobile and Girard Railroad.
We are pleased to learn that the work on
this important line of Railroad is progressing
satisfactorily under the Presidency of Major
John li. Howard. The cars are now running
to Colbert. The grading is nearly completed
to Enon depot, and an efficient force is now at
work laying down the superstructure. Nine
car loads of iron have recently come to hand.
By the first of October the cars will be rua
uing to Enon, and by the first of January to
Union Springs. During the current season,
20,000 bales ol’ cotton have been shipped over
the road. It is the opinion of well informed
persons, that the receipts of cotton next winter
will reach fifty thousand bales.— Times.
