('OLT M H US: Huiulay Morn! May Hi lS.’W#. LAKUBST CITY CIHCUI.ATIOM. Alabama Elections. We have returns from alt the counties in the adjoining Judicial Circuit, except a por tion of Talladega, and Dougherty has about not! majority. Wm. 8. Mudd, K. N., has, we think, been elected Judge of the Tuakaloosa Circuit. Wo have not sufficient returns to de termine the result of the election in any oth er Judicial Circuit, Probate Jidukx Elected. —Randolph, furry, Dem.; Tuskaloosa, McGuire, K. N.; Jefferson, Kelly; Greene, Oliver, K. N\; l’erry, Hailey. It would be extremely difficult to form any opinion as to the vote of the State upon the Convention question, from the returns before us. Some counties vote almost unanimously fora Convention, and others as strongly against it; and the returns at hand seem to show that some local interest in each county, or some prejudice for or against a particular feature of the old constitution, carries the votes in the | several localities. More Slavery Agitation. The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church (North) met at Indianapo lis on the Ist inst. On the first day of its session, the subject of slavery was introduced by a resolution to appoint a standing commit tee on slavery. The resolution prevailed by a large majority, after some discussion. We may therefore expect to hear that all subjects connected with vital piety, Christian charity and true benevolence have been shoved aside, or only coldly and formally treated, while the great engrossing and exciting topic is a polit ical crusade against Southern institutions.— This seems to be the test of religious orthodoxy at the North just now, and the prevailing sen timentisthat “Zion” is unattainable to any pro fessor who cannot exhibit upon his garments some of the blood of Batchelder or Sheriff Jones, or comes not through by the “under ground railway.” Delegates from the British Wesleyan Con ference presented credentials and were for mally received; but ministers from a Southern Conference, if seeking admission, would have been sent away into “utter darkness,” on ac •ount of the stain of slavery. A. J. Magrath, Esq., of Charleston, has ieen appointed Judge of the United States -district Court for South Carolina, to succeed Judge Gilchrist, deceased. Aid to Walker. Two hundred men, well armed and eager for the fray, sailed from New Orleans on the Bth list., to go to the relief of Walker. A large mi en husiastic meeting was held in the St. Charles saloon, on Broadway, New York, on the 6th inst., which adopted “measures to aid the cause of Nicaraguan independence.” The meeting adjourned to meet en masse on the 9th inst. at National Hall, when an immense gath ering and great enthusiasm was anticipated. The Mobile and Ohio Railroad track is rep resented to be under water in some sections. The location of the track is thought by many to be too low ; but the Mobile News says that the Chickasaha river has risen higher than was ever known before—some fifty or sixty feet — and its tributaries equally high. Atthe latest advices, trains could not run above Enter prise. The trial of Ex-Postmaster Kendall, of New Orleans, on a charge of robbing the mails, was progressing in the United States Circuit Court in that city, on the 7th inst. Death of Sheriff Jones. The last advices from Kansas, telegraphed from Chicago on the Bth inst., report the death of Sheriff Jones. It had previously been an nounced that he was expected to recover. A letter to the St. Louis Republican states that Jones, when shot, was acting by the au thority of the Investigating Committee.— Wood, whom he attempted to arrest, had ab stracted important papers connected with the Reeder case and refused to appear before the committee. Later from Panama. The Sloop St. Marys on Hand ! We learn from the Charleston papers, that the brig Amoonoosuck arrived at that port on the Bth inst., with later and interesting news from New Granada and the Isthmus. We copy from the Courier of the 9tli: ‘•The U. S. sloop of-war St. Marys had reach ed Panama, and her commander had taken immediate steps to examine into the cause of the late unfortunate riot. It was reported that a warm correspondence had taken place between the commander of the St. Marys and the Governor of Panama, and that the latter had thought it prudent to remove his family from the place, and that he also was about leaving. “Capt. Harford states that it is thought at Aspinwalll that the natives originated the dis turbance for the purpose of plunder, many of them having been thrown out of employment by the completion of the rail road, who had formerly received considerable amounts for transporting passengers across the Isthmus by canoe3 and mules, and many of which class are now mere bush-rangers, who only await a j suitable opportunity to plunder. This class j can only be held in check by the fear of im mediate punishment; and is believed that it will be necessary for this Government to sta tion a naval or military force at Panama, to I ensure safety to passengers on tho route ” I The St. Marys, as previous advices from | Washington had informed us, was cruising off that coast when the riot occurred. Her com- j mander is now acting without orders from Washington, but we trust that his proceed- I : ogs and measures will be none the less ener- ! zetic on that account. We really have strong I hope now that our wish expressed the other , day will be fulfilled —“that some energetic and j spirited American commander has ere this, 1 without instructions or formal warrant, in- ! flioted summary punishment on the people ! and authorities at Panama.” 4. Mr Barnum, it is said, believes that the let- j ler in reference to himself, said to have been j vritten by Jenny Lind, is a forgery. The American Tract Boeiety and the Slavery ‘Question. In the year 1825, a society was formed in the city of Now York., having for its object the printing, publishing and circulating of tho Holy Scriptures, and such religious works, not sectarian m their character, ns taught, de monstrated and inculcated tho great and com mon truths of religion, aud the principles of virtue, pietyaud morality. EvaugehcalUhris thins of till denominations connected them selves with the i institution, and contributed freely of their means to the advancement of its interests and its usefulness. From a small and insignificant beginning, it speedily com menced to expand. As the field of its labors enlarged, its activity increased, and it has now become a mighty agent for good—a daily pulpit, sending forth iuto the world with eve ry setting sun, fit),ooo publications of which more than 3,000 are books, pure and lofty in their teachings, and the offspring of some of the wisest and best intellects of the present i aud past ages. In palace and hovel, in hall and hamlet, throughout the length and breadth of our land, these silent but eloquent leaves are strewn. Thousands have been led to turn ’ thereby, from the error of their ways. Mon who never read before, men who never thought before, men who never believed before, have been induced to read and reflect—have been convinced, convicted and reformed. The “American Tract Society” is a household word throughout Christendom', its works have penetrated iuto foreign lauds, and the dark places of the earth: its agents have sought out the ignorant, the poor, the despised, and without money and without price they have been freely supplied with those treasures which are above all price. For thirty years the society's labors have been steadily pursued iu harmony and peace, and in the year 1856, it boasts within its pale nearly twenty differ ent denominations ; it has in its employ six hundred amlfifty-nine colporteurs whose daily business it is to calculate its publications far and wide, and to supply the destitute gratui tously ; it speaks to men in one hundred and twenty-two languages and dialects, and during its comparatively brief existence has circulated 213,902,000 publications! The immense benefits which could not fail to be the result of such labors, in arresting the wayward and the thoughtless, in convinc ing the skeptical and informing the ignorant, in forming the youthful mind and character, in the spread of sound doctrine and pure mo rality, and in crowding out an impure aud flippantliterature, are incalculable, andshould be a cause of congratulation and rejoicing not only to the Christian, but the patriot and eve ry true lover of his kind. These great results are attributable to concert and harmony of action. Up to this time, the society rigidly adheringto its constitution, hasabstained from the publication of all works of a sectarian, lo cal or sectional character. The Committee of Publication, composed of six eminent clergy men representing as many different denomina tions, have scrupulously avoided every cause of strife and contention, religious or political, and thus tho society has gone on prospering and to prosper. At last, however, the voice of clamor is rais ed. For several months past the radicals of the northern pulpit and the religious press, who can look upon no subject save through the medium of slavery, have maintained a system atic attack upon the Committee of Publication, because, in obedience to duty and their Con stitution, they have ignored the subject of slavery in tho society’s publications, and with the true Christian spirit, have treated this peculiar institution as Christ and the Apostles treated it in their day. Prominent among these agents of evil, have been the Rev. Ward Beecher, (of recent “Sharpe Rifle” notoriety) and his paper, the -V. 1". Independent. The Committee have been denounced with a vehe mence and bitterness—often with a scurrility and shamelessness—which seldom disgrace the columns of the secular press. The prin cipal charges are, that the Committee, in re vising works for the press, have omitted pas sages and phrases which would not be tolera ted in the South; and that they are lacking in Christian duty, in that they do not make the institution of slavery the object of special attack through the Society’s publications. The Society was to have held its annual meeting in New York City, on Wednesday last: and we learn from northern exchanges, that the Anti-slavery party were rallying their forces with great spirit and ardor, with a hope to effect such changes in the Society’s Consti tution as will enable them to carry out their unchristian and nefarious schemes. What the result will be we cannot predict. But every pa triot, not to say Christian, must view the struggle with the deepest interest. The Com mittee of Publication perform their labors gra tuitously. It is too much to expect of them, that they can long submit to such abuse and villification as has been heaped upon them for twelve months past. We cannot but appre hend the most melancholy results from the contest which is perhaps now taking place.— The ruin of the Tract Society, which would inevitably follow any changein its past policy, would be a national calamity. But we also see in this movement threatenings of the in tegrity of the Union itself. It is not to ho supposed by any rational mind, that political ties alone afford a sufficient guarenty for tho Union’s perpetuity. The people of the North and South are daily aud rapidly becoming more and more a distinct people; and the rending of all social and religious ties would ere long be followed by the crash of the last link that binds us as a Nation. We have noticed during the past few mouths j many cheering indications of a healthy reaction at the North, on the subject of slavery, and I have been led to build hopes upon them. We say hopes, not because we apprehend any harm to the institution itself; but because it would boa real pleasure to us to know that our Northern fellow citizens were at last awakening to a Bense of right, justice and rea son. But the attack upon this great National institution, for such the American Tract Soci ety is, augurs most unfavorably for the reali zation of our hopes. Should it fall before the I legions of fmmtioism, wo should hardly know on what then to base a hope of returning cun cord and National amity. Its downfall would not only be in itself a deporablo calamity, but the probable precursor of fresh ruptures such as have made a Northern and a Southern Methodist Church, to be in their turn the pre i cursors, it may he, of national dissolution. Tho Cabinet on Nicaragua. The papers and their correspondents will have it that several Cabinet meetings have I been held to consider the ease presented by the present aspect of affairs in Nicaragua, and ; that there is a division of opinion among the | members. It is said that at the first meeting a majority (including the President) were in fa vor of receiving the new Minister from Nicara gua, l’ndro Yijil, aud that a messenger was sent to New York to inform him of this deter mination ; hut it seems that he was not re ceived at the time appointed, and the question jis said to he still undecided. One reporter t states that Messrs. Maroy and Cushing are opposed to recognizing tho Rivas Government, and that the President ami the other members : of the Cabinet favor it. The following was dispatched from Washing ton on the Bth inst.: “ Affidavits from tho Captain of the steam ship Orizaba and others, have been filed in the State Department, narrating the insolent in terference of the British frigate Eurydiee, at San Juan, during the last trip of the former vessel—the close surveillance exercised over her, and the forbidding of the passengers for Nicaragua to land. Secretary Dobbin says that these outrages shall be promptly rebuk ed. The whole matter has been the subject of a Cabinet consultation to-day. “ Tho Administration lias not yet arrived at a decision upon the question of recognizing Walker’s government.” Bobbery of Maj. Buford. Wo are pained by the perusal of the follow ing paragraph in the St. Louis Herald of April 26th: “ Just aa the steamer Keystone was about shoving off from our lauding on Thursday— on which boat were Maj. Buford of Alabama and his company, on their way to Kansas some daring and expert thief broke open Maj. Buford’s trunk, aud stole $5,000. It is sup posed the thief was on the boat, and went up with the company, so that he will probably be discovered before they reach Kansas. Intelli gence of the robbery was brought to this city, by a descending boat from the Missouri river, the robbery not having been discovered until the Keystone was out from our wharf.” A New Trick at San Juan. Every new development in Central America gives ns new causes to insist upon the view of the duties of this government taken by us in our issues of Saturday and Sunday last. We have had the pleasure of conversing with sev eral gentlemen who came by the Orizaba from San Juan. They confirm in all respects, the news in regard to the blockade of that port by the British man-of-war Eurydiee, and give us other intelligence more than ever calling for the immediate action of our government. It seems that about two months ago a gen- tleman named Cole arrived from England, with about 50 Englishmen under him, and gave out that he was about to commence a ca nal to extend from San Juan to a point on the San Juan river just above Costillo. He ex pects in a few weeks 1000 more Englishmen to work on the canal. No obstacles were in terposed to the landing of the party, and we may, of course, be sure that none will be of fered by the Eurydice when the others arrive. The operation of the present state of affairs, if no action is taken by the United States, is too obvious to need comment. American citi zens will be prevented from landing—but 1000 British subjects will land and be used in such a way as John Bull may choose to direct.— They will dig the canal after they have dug the graves of our brethren. It is useless to disguise our position. Our government must be prompt and resolute.— Great Britain must be made to know at once that any interference in Central America will be the signal of a declaration of war by us.— We sincerely hope that there will be no trifling at Washington; no exchange of letters, no paltering in a double sense with tricky diplo matists. The Monroe doctrine is at stake ; let it be maintained at once and forever.—A T . O. Courier. Bailroad Casualties. We have just seen a letter from a friend in Tennessee, which says—“ Our Chattanooga and Nashville Railroad friends have struck a bad streak. They have a bridge down and engine on it; and part of another train mired in the Tunnel. I fear it will be some time be fore they get fairly to work again.— Atlanta Intelligencer. An individual entered one of our telegraph offices yesterday, and inquired the cost of sending a message to Albany. Being in formed, he further inquired if there was any charge for the name of the person to whom a message was sent, and the signature appended thereto. “ No,” replied the courteous opera tor, “ there is no charge for names or signa tures.” The stranger proceeded to the desk, picked up a pencil, wrote a message and hand ed it to the operator, who found it to read thus: James Bunce, Albany. Sam. Murgatroyd, Buffalo. “But,” says the operator, “there is no message here.” “Message enough for me,” replied the wag; “I only want Jim to know where 1 am. No charge for names and signa tures, I believe. Thank you, good morning”; and he left the office and left a bevy of opera tors splitting their sides with laughter, behind him. It is hardly necessary to add that the message was sent without delay.— Buffalo j Courier. i i— - A gentleman in New Haven, has invented a i process which furnishes a complete safeguard | against counterfeiting in any of its forms.— : The face of the bill is firstcovered with achem ical preparation of a yellow tint, leaving the denomination of the bill in lotters of the origi- I nal color of the paper. The plate printing is done with bluish black ink, which has the pe culiarity of penetrating the paper, and of being translucent when held between the eye and the light. The composition of this ink is known only to the inventor, and prevents the possi bility of counterfeiting by means of anew plate. Machine for Pegging Boots ancl Shoes. Anew machine for this purpose has been brought forward. The boot is placed on one part of the machine and a stick of wood on J the other. Motion being given, one portion , of the mechanism operatos to prick the holes : with at’ awl—another to make the pegs—an- \ other to feed the pegs to the mouth of the j holes—ahother to drive the pegs home. Those various operations arc performed with great rapidity, about two minutes only being required to double peg each boot. JPORHIGN NEWS BY THE AMERICA.

The London correspondent of the Toronto Globe states that a report is quite current in England to the effect that the Queen has some thought of paying a visit during the coming summer, to her loyal province of Canada. So far has the rumor gained ground, that several of the London newspapers arc discussing the propriety of the step, and advising the Queen to make the journey, by all means.

Startling Phenomenon. Mr. John Parker and son were attending some fish lines on the river about three miles above here, when they were surprised by a continuous, unusual roaring towards the mid die of the stream; the night was without wind. Owing to the darkness, no effort was made to ascertain the cause of this strange noise until daylight, when it was seen that a whirlpool of large extent was in active operation some two hundred miles from the Missouri shore, which still continues in operation, drawing in a great body of water; so much indeed, that the vol ume of the river below is sensibly lessened.— Driftwood and large floating logs go in and disappear totally. Many hundreds yesterday went up to see this strange sight. Unless this chasm soon fills up with water, the effect upon navigation will be calamitous indeed, for it would seem that the bottom of the river has really fallen ont.-Squatter Sovereign, (Atch ison,) K.
