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. Alabama Elections. Dougherty is certainly rc-elcctod Circuit •fudge in the adjoining Circuit. Talladega gives him a majority over lfetlin. In Barbour, Williams, Independent Demo crat, is elected Probate Judge, heating Clay ton, regular Democrat, and Wilson, K. N. Mobile re-elected McKinstry City Judge, by a majority of 1107 overSeawcll, Democrat, and gives a majority of 120!) against Conven tion. In Dallas, T. 0. ltaincr, Democrat, is re elected Probate Judge, over John A. Lodor, K. N. Thornton, K. N., is re-elected Probate Judge in Talladega; MoClannahan, K. N., in Shelby; McMillan, Democrat, in Coosa; Brown, Dem., in Autauga; Crayton, K. N., in Chambers; Gardner, K. N., in Bibb; Woods, Dem., in Bcntou; Cook, K. N., in Lowndes. Benton—Convention 1372, No Convention 821. Montgomery “ 728 “ 691. 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.— Right. +. The city of Cleveland is said to be wholly bankrupt. That is bad for the underground railway interest. 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 mond Dispatch.

From the New York Daily News, 6tli. 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.” COMMEHai^J OFFICK OF TIIE n A]l ,, Columbus, < \i ’ I ’'ll i iy in There was notin’ inquiry yesterday j n amt we heard of sales tt> the extent ~f iinoteGooil Middling at lOJ^c.
