COLUMBUS:
Saturday Morning, May 10, lS.'iß.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
r
Steamers.
There were three steamboats at our wharves
yesterday. The river has risen some two feet
tliis week, and business has looked brisk for
a day or two on the wharves. The Ben Frank
lin brought up, on Thursday evening, a very
large lot of bacon and other freight. The D.
J. Day arrived yesterday, and was taking on
cotton to go down the river, whilethe Oswichee
brought up, from a short distance below, 378
bales.
We have seldom opened a pile of papers so
uninteresting and devoid of news as were our
exchanges yesterday. It was one of the re
markable days on which we were favored with
through mails lroinevery quarter, but as there
was no news afloat, oven Uncle Sam’s extraor
dinary punctuality could not furnish us with
anything strange or exciting.
Eating Human Flesh !
There is is a horrible story told in a letter
from Fort Pierre, Northwest Territory, about
United States soldiers and others eating the
bodies of their dead companions. The letter
states that three soldiers deserted from that
post last winter, and in their flight towards
Sioux City overtook four other white persons
who were traveling in the same direction. —
The party of seven continued their journey
together, but wore delayed on the way for thir
ty or forty days by snows and excessive cold.
Their provisions gave out entirely, and one of
the party dying, they cut up his body and eat
his Mesh ! Another subsequently died, whom
they served in the samo way. Two more died,
but the remaining three were discovered soon
after by Maj. llowe’s command, and relieved.
Such is the story in brief, but it is almost too
horrible for belief.

The Kansas Investigating Committee.
This body is now in Kansas, engaged in the
duty for which it was raised ; but it would
seem, from several intimations which have
reached us, that the majority intend to make a
mockery and an electioneering inquisition out
of the matter. Gen. Striugfellow appeared
before the Committee, a few days since, and
asked permission to introduce testimony, but
the Freesoil Chairman refused to permit it.—
It would thus seem that the committee intend
to receive just what thoy choose as evidence,
and nothing else; and their selection of Law
rence, the abolition stronghold, instead of the
seat of Government, for their place of business,
shows the kind of testimony they will choose to
receive.
News by the North America.
Our Charleston exchanges give a report of
the North America’s news a little more in de
tail than ours. The only political news given
is a brief statement that Russia had disband
ed her militia, and had ordered all the light
houses to be lit and buoys to be placed in the
Gulf of Finland and other waters. One re
port gives the sales of cotton the day before
the North America sailed at 20,000 bales,
which has been confirmed by our later dis
patch of the news by the America.
A later dispatch from Kansas states that
Col. Sumner, with 120 dragoons, was encamped
near Lawrence, and that there was “no nows of
importance.”
The Augusta Constitutionalist understands
that the entire stock of the Athens (Oa.) Bank,
$200,000, has been subscribed for by promi
nent and wealthy citizens of Clark and Rich
mond counties, and that the Bank will go
into operation upon a firm and reliable basis.
Walker’s Position.
There is a feverish anxiety pervading the
country to hear farther from Nicaragua, and
this feeling is quickened by the conflicting re
ports which the New York papers furnish as
to the real state of the case in the affair at
Rivas. Some of these accounts state that
Walker lost 15(5 men, instead of thirty as first
reported, and that the loss of the Costa Ri
cans was only about 150; also, that Walker
had 1000 Americans and 1100 natives engag
ed in the assault, and was obliged to withdraw,
after hard fighting, without accomplishing
anything. If these reports be true—and they
are claimed to be reliable and authentic—then
Walker and his gallant band are “in a bad
way,’’ and we cannot reasonably expect any
thing else than their annihilation, as it is un
derstood that the enemy have possessed them
selves of such positions as to render it very
difficult for reinforcements from this country
to reach Walker. We hope for the best, but
the prospect appears gloomy enough.
Tho Panama Railroad Company have ad
vised our Government that they have sent
down to the Isthmus a supply of rifles and re
volvers to arm their employees, so that ‘they
may be able to defend themselves and the
property and passengers in their charge.—

PARTY VIEWS AND MOVEMENTS.
Thk Nobtii run Know Nothings. —The
American State Conventiou of New Hampshire
assembled at Concord oil the 6th iast., and re
pudiated the nomination of Fillmore and Don
elson. By an unanimous resolution, it endors
ed the action of the New Hampshire delega
tion in seceding from the Philadelphia Con
vention. Delegates were appointed to a Free
soil American Convention to beholden at New
York on the 12tli of June... The Know Nothing
Stale Convention of Massachusetts met on the
same day at Boston. A resolution was ottered
repudiating the nomination of Fillmore, which
was voted down ; whereupon the minority
bolted, organized another meeting, and ap
pointed delegates to the New York 12th ol
June Convention.
Mumcii'AL Flections —The Democrats car
ried everything at the election in Philadelphia
on the 6tli inst., electing their candidate for
Mayor (Richard Vaux, Esq.,) by nearly 4,000
majority, and a majority of the City Council.
The Whigs of the city acted with the Demo
crats in opposition to the Know Nothings...
At the municipul election in Petersburg, Va.,
two Democrats only ran for the Mayoralty ;
W. W. Towns was elected. There does not
appear to liavo been much party feeling dis
played in the election, as Democrats and Know
Nothings were chosen for several offices with
out opposition, and where there was a contest
party lines were evidently not drawn Four
Know Nothings and one Democrat were elect
ed Commissioners of Navigation for Wilming
ton, N. C., on the sth inst. The vote was ex
ceedingly close, and the contest was a very
animated and exciting one—the recent killing
of a Democrat in a duel by one of the Know
Nothing candidates, on account of language
used in the canvass, having brought an unu
sual element of excitement into the contest.—
Mr. Planner, who killed his opponent in the
duel, was one of the Know Nothings elected.
The Democracy.— New Jersey and Mary
land have chosen delegates to the Cincinnati
Convention, and instructed them to vote for
Mr. Buchanan.... The Democratic State Con
vention of Illinois lias nominated Hon. W. A.
Richardson (late Democratic candidate for
Speaker for the House of Representatives) for
Governor, and J. H. Richardson for Lieut.
Governor—The Washington Sentinel (Buch
anan paper) stated tkc,-other day that it had
good authority for saying that President Pierce
would soon withdraw from the field as a can
didate ; but this statement is now pronounced
by authority considered better, to be unau
thorized and untrue.... The South Carolina
State Convention appointed delegates both for
the State at large and for the districts to Cin
cinnati. Among them are Hons. F. W. Pick
ens, J. L. Manning, James L. Orrand A. G.
Magrath—a very strong team. The resolu
tions adopted declare Mr. Pierce to be the fa
vorite of South Carolina, and require the Con
vention to sustain the principle of the Nebras
ka bill, to denounce the Missouri Compromise
or any other slavery restriction, and to uphold
the Fugitive Slave law, as a pre-requisite to
the co-operation of South Carolina.
The Black Republicans. —Most of the
newspaper organs of this faction justify or ex
cuse the murder of sheriff Jones at Lawrence,
on the ground that he was not a legal officer,
but a “ tool” of the pro-slavery government!
Their State Convention in Rhode Island has
also denounced Edward Everett andhis lecture
on AVashington, declaring the latter to be a
“fulsome eulogy” framed so as to promote the
interests of slavery ! In Indiana, they have
nominated Judge Morton for Governor, and
appointed delegates to their Philadelphia Con
vention.
Sales of Indian Lands.
For a day or two Wm. Garrett, agent of the
Government, has been selling certain Creek
Reservations, not heretofore legally disposed
of, at auction in tliis city. All these lands
have many years siuce been bought and sold,
and some of them worn out. A good many
old settlers are in town to buy in for the pur
pose of quieting titles. —Montgomery Mail.
Ship Struck by a Waterspout.
An officer on board the English man-of-war
Electra, describes a fearful encounter with a
waterspout which happened to the ship in
November last, while sailing from Auckland,
in New Zealand, to Sydney. The weather for
some timo had been remarkably heavy, aud on
the day on which the ship was caught in the
waterspout had been very squally. The wri
ter was helow when the spout struck the ves
sel, and was greatly startled by seeing the
ship heel far over and the deck become almost
perpendicular, and a sick feeling of anticipa
tion and vngue dread came over his mind
He succeeded in reaching the deck, and found
that tho captain’s gig was stove in by the wa
ter, and the davits (strong, curved pillars of
iron, as thick as his leg) had been bent dou
ble by the pressure. A whirling mass of wa
ter had been suddenly seen near the ship, and
before anything could be done, it was upon her,
bearing her down aud whisking her round and
under water, whilst tho whirlwind by which
it was of course accompanied and caused,
pressed her over by the sails and increased
her danger.
This was an uncommon adventure, for
though ships frequently see waterspouts, it
does not happen one time in five hundred that
they strike a vessel. The danger from them
is generally easily averted by firing a gun at
the column, when the concussion of air caused
by the explosion breaks the spout before it is
near enough to do any damage. In the above
case, however, the spout moved too swiftly;
the guns, too, were all firmly lashed, on ac
count of tho bad weather, aud it would have
been a matter of timo to clear one away.
Touching a Tender Point.
A few days since the Springfield (Massa
chusetts) Argus asked what was to be done
with the. money which the Kansas lecturers
are collecting under the name of “aid for Kan
sas.” The Boston Telegraph, a Black Repub
lican print, replied that it was nono of the
Argus's business; and the Argus rejoins:
“ It would seem that we touched atenderpoint
when we inquired about the destination of tho
Kansas fund. The Black Republican papers
evidently don’t like to tell. Are we right in
supposing that none of this money collected as
‘Kansas aid’ will go to Kansas? that it is to
be used as a vast electioneering or ‘corruption
fund’ in the presidential canvass ? Or will
‘General’ Pomeroy aud the other peculiar Kan
sas patriots pocket it ?”
From tin- Macon Republican, May Bth.
The Chunnenuggee Pair.
We spent two days most delightfully last week
at the Annual Fair on Chunnenuggee Ridge.
A large and pleasant concourse of persons,
from nearly every direction, was present, and
all seemed to enjoy themselves as much as
we did.
The garden was in unusually good trim, and
we should scarcely have known it, so much
had every thing grown and improved since we
were there two years ago.
After the committees had examined the
articles on exhibition, and got ready to make
their reports, the gates were thrown open,
and the Summer house and its vicinity was
soon thronged with the assemblage. In an
hour or two, after every body had looked at
every thing, and renewed old acquaintances
and formed new ones, dinner was announced,
which was a plain and unpretending meal,
but decidedly solid and substantial; and from
the way is disappeared from the hoard, we
should think that every body got his half dol
lar’s worth.
At night there was an exquisite concert and
supper, the former gotten up by the young
ladies, and the latter by the married ones, and
as each set seemed to view with the other for
the palm of supremacy in administering to the
gratification of the crowd, we have not yet
been able to determine which won it. Upon
the whole, we guess we will have to wait and
give them another trial next year before we
decide.
On Friday morning the several committees
made their reports, and the premiums were
awarded, a list of which for publication we
hope to get in a few days.
Afterwards the President of the Society,
Col. R. 11. Powell, read the premium essay on
horticulture. This we understood to be from
the pen of Mrs. Ilomer Blackman. It was the
most beautiful thing that we have listened to
in a long time, and we are glad that the so
ciety, by a unanimous vote, determined to
have it published. Original and chaste in
design, elevated in sentiment, and happy in
the execution, it was one of those rare things
which only a pure, intelligent, educated, and
refined woman can write. ,It was, emphatic
ally, a precious jewel set in a frame work of
gold.
After the reading of the essay the annual
address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. A.
Lipscomb. Although the Doctor has an ex
tensive and well earned reputation for large
and varied erudition, we had no idea that he
could succeed in rendering himself entertain
ing upon what we had got into the habit of
considering a very dry subject; but we were
delightfully disappointed. In fact we have
never listened to an address upon any theme,
from any one, with more pleasure and profit
than upon this occasion to Dr. Lipscomb.—
When the hour and a half, the space of time
during which he addressed the audience, had
expired, we were surprised to find that it was
more than forty or fifty minutes, so completely
had we been beguiled by the speaker.
After the address dinner was announced. It
was in great profusion, and free to everybody
without charge.
In the afternoon four young ladies rode a
match for a handsome silver cup. One, how
ever, left the race before it was quite conclu
ded. But she did some beautiful riding for
her years—only ten or twelve—and in two or
three Fairs more will be able to compete with
the most skillful. Os the other three we con
fess we were unable to decide which ought to
have had the prize, so equal was the grace and
beauty of their equestrianism, it was awarded,
however, to Miss Mary Blackman; and we
are sure, that while she did not exult over her
unsuccessful rivals, they felt no envy at her
good fortune. We sincerely hope that they
may all win when next they ride, and that we
may be there to see.
In the evening a series of tableaux vivants
closed the two days amusements. These were
gotten up by some of the young ladies and
gentlemen of the Ridge. With the exception
of two or three not very material artistic errors
and which we have no doubt they will learn to
avoid in future, they were admirably conceiv
ed and beautifully executed. We were parti
cularly struck with the condemnation of the
“Princess Lamballe,” “the first ear-ring,”
“ the Gipsey telling fortunes,” and the two
subsequent ones in which she was wooed and
won, “the love letter,” and two or three oth
ers that we cannot now remember.
On Saturday morning people generally set
out for home, and so did we, carrying with us
the recollection of many kindnesses shown to
us by the people of the Ridge and especially
by Col. R. H. Powell, whose guest we were,
and whose hospitality is as refined and unos
tentatious as it is hearty and beautiful. Nev
er have we spent two days more pleasantly
than last Thursday and Friday, at the Fair on
Chunnenuggee Ridge.
In closing this brief record it is natural to
say, that while the quantity of articles exhib
ited was not quite so large as usual, manyju
dicious changes were effected in the arrange
ments, which made the whole Fair pass off
much more methodically and smoothly to eve
ry body, and which we hope will be continued
in subsequent years. The number of persons
present we think was larger than wehave ever
before seen, and the general enjoyment decid
edly greater.
Grain Prospect.
The Chattanooga Advertiser of the 3d inst.,
says :—During the past week we have been
out on a rustication turn out. We were up,
around, in and through the counties of Brad
ley, McMinn aud Monroe, and had the grati
fication of seeing the agricultural prospects of
those sections, which we deem highly flatter
ing. If an Editor can boa judge, we should
say that the wheat promises much for this sea
sou of the year. Iu Monroe county especial
ly, we saw some fields that might do to brag
on. The frequency of latter showers was im
proving the prospects. Oats were looking
fair, but we are inclined to the opinion that
fewer have been sowed than common. Farm
ers were engaged in corn plauting and were
busy at work.
Shanghai chickens grow to an enormous
size in Kansas. They are fed in stables in
j high troughs like horses. When this is neg
lected, they are apt to starve to death, as they
| grow so high that it is utterly impossible to
! get their heads down to the ground. The
crowing of these enormous fowls resembles the
noise of distant thunder, and so natural does
it sound, that in one or two instances it has
been followed by a shower of rain. This is as
true as—most of the Kansas stories published
in the Eastern papers. —Squatter Sovereign.
Prof. Stowe.
The New York Tribune says that Professor
Stowe has been gladdening his many friends
in Cincinnati by a short visit. The Boston
Post conjectures thnt Prof. Stowe’s beard
probably weighs more than his brains, for he
promised a long time ago not to cut it until
the fugitive slave law was repealed. If he ad
heres to his vow, Mrs. Stowe might make al
most as much out of the little man as from
l nele Tom, by exhibitinghim around the coun
try in company with the hairy woman.—Rich

The Murderer of Jones, the Kansas Sheriff.
Unfortunately, we daily hear of murders,
and the ear is so sated with such accustomed
horrors, that we do not sufficiently consider
the enormity of such a crime. And yet the
last murder that crimsoned the streets of New
York, or ensanguined the fresh and virgin
soil of Kansas, is as revolting as the first ho
mocidc, when the altars of the sons of Eve
were stained by fraternal slaughter. A man
is slain in distant Kansas: who is his mur
derer ? who is to wear the mark of Cain on his
brow ? who set the fiend loose, which rested
not, till the red life-blood was poured out on
the ground? It is not always the most guilty
band that speeds the bullet or swings the club.
That hand may be itself, like the rifle or the
dagger it holds, but an instrument moved by
a yet more reckless and malignant mind.—
Therefore we may with propriety ask; On
whose heads lies the blood of Jones, the mor
tally wounded Sheriff? Whose brows should
bear the red mark of Cain?
Wo know that they whose seditioos aud
treasonable conduct led to this crime, will be
ready to condemn their dupe and instrument,
to call for his trial and punishment, and call
on public justice to make him the scapegoat
for their own sins. But we are irresistibly
impelled to connect this mortal wound with a
transaction which took place weeks before in
a temple of the Prince of Peace, when minis
ters of the Gospel, and pious women and learn
ed professors of the humanities were present,
and unlocked the fiend of homocide.
The murder of Jones was virtually commit
ted in the house of God, where the Rev. Ward
Beecher, and the Rev. Mr. Dutton, and the
venerable Prof. Siliiman distributed Sharpe’s
rifles to emigrants to Kansas, to be used upon
the bodies of those who were opposed to them
in political sentiment, who should come to col
onize the new State.
This murder of Sheriff Jones was concocted
there; it was there allowed by the reverend
ministers of the gospel, and the venerable
professors of Yale College, who gave a gener
al charter and license to kill to tlieir deluded
missionaries, equiped with the Bible in one
hand and Sharpe’s rifle in the other. This
blow is the natural consequence of the action
which took place in that church in New Ha
ven. Let the actors in it calmly review their
conduct, and justify it if they can, with the
horrible result now before them. The farce
played in the temple in a month turns to the
tragedy acted in the field, and the blood of a
fellowman is crying aloud from the ground to
the heavens against all who aided in shedding
it. He was an officer of the law ; but neither
the ministration of justice nor the badges of
social order availed to protect his body against
those who assailed not only human life but
the legally constituted Government of the
country to which they had come. They, for
sooth, were the agents of a higher law, with
their warrants given them by the Rev. Ward
Beecher and Mr. Dutton, the Bible (oh, sacri
lege,) in one hand and the murderous rifle in
the other.
Public Lands and Rail Roads.
Several bills, it is said, will soon he report
ed in Congress from the Committee on Public
Lands, which are of great importance. By
these bills it is proposed that the government
shall grant, for the benefit of certain rail roads
to be constructed or now in process of con
struction, in the States of lowa, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Louisiana, Florida, and Alabama,
alternate sections of such public lands lying on
either side of said roads as have not been al
ready entered, aud as shall he comprised with
in a distance of six miles. A similar propo
sition was made during the last Congress, and
the bill passed the Senate scarcely with any
opposition, but was defeated in the House by
a single vote. The amount of land which may
thus be devoted in Florida, Alabama and Lou
isiana, will be comparatively small, as much
on the lines of the proposed roads have been
already located, and no provision is to be made
for substituting other tracts in such cases.
The samo remark applies to lowa, and to some
extent to Michigan. In lowa there are four
roads, some forty or fifty miles apart, com
mencing respectively at Dubuque, Lyons, Da
venport and Burlington, and running parallel
with each other to the Wisconsin river. Three
roads are already partly built, and settlers
have located on them, and will continue to do
so up to tho time tlie Government grant may
be perfected, so that the quantity in lowa will
be comparatively decreased. In Wisconsin a
larger amount will be required, as tlie road
will pass through lands not much located,
though it is understood that the aggregate will
not exceed two millions of acres. One of these
Wisconsin roads is to be run from Lake Win
nebago north to the State line, and the other
from Wisconsin river to the river St. Croix,
and thence to Lake Superior.— Chas. Cour
ier.
Jenny Lind.
The Boston Times, in commenting upon the
rocent letter of Jenny Lind, which was noticed
in our paper a few days since, says :
“The best and greatest tiling that Jenny Lind
can do to enable Barnum to retrieve his fallen
fortunes, is for her to re-visit this country,
and appear in opera, under his auspices and
management. Within two years Barnum would
again be a millionaire. Then look out for
great times.”
