Wt ilnthdu)’ Morning, Miiy M J NSC.
I. AIM.I’.ST CITY CIRCULATION.
Salutatory.
In these days of pledges and pro Buses, when
every candidate lor public favor, b he Corpo
ral or Congressman, is required to define hi*
principles, it will perhaps, be expected of
me, on entering the editorial department of
the Sun, to proceed at once to the erection of
my platform, us well us to make luy respectful
obeisance to its readers. Fortunately for me
the Sun lias already a platform, and bus been
tor some time above the horizon. My connec
tion with it will cuuse no change in its princi
ple*-.. As heretofore, it will maintain a strict
neutrality —a p'-rfeot independence of party,
sect, or creed—reserving to itself, however,
the right of commeut upon those great move
ments, whether in politics or religion, which
interest, and affect the universal public- the
people at large.
For tin- rest I have little to say. ‘1 he civil
ised world has now grown to such huge pro
portions, it is vain for anyone newspaper to at
tempt alnitliliil record of all its ways and works.
Vor do w<* think such record desirable, were
it possible. Satisfied as wc are, that a vast
amount of matter is daily published which no
body reads and nobody cares for, we shall give
the preference to those matters of dally and
immediate concern to our readers, which lie
around their very feet, but which are too often
crowded out by some dull account of Indian
skirmishing in Oregon, or a Mexican Revolu
tion. We shall endeavor to make tho Hun a
reliable business sheet, eminently domestic,
and eminently Southern.
Among tho first ditties of an editor we place
the furnishing of an entertaining and agreea
ble sheet cheerful, genial, and sprightly.—
An editor has no more right to bore his read
ers, than has a conversationist his hearers.
Discarding then, at once and finally, all no
tions of stiff and stllty dignity, we shall en
deavor to make the Hun a welcome presence
wherever its rays may fall -to maintain the
reputation it has acquired—and to limit its
regions of dullness, strictly to those columns
upon which wc employ our own pen: and even
then striving to be as entertaining as the nu
turo of tho subject and our capacity will al
low.
Hoping that these views will meet with the
approbation of those for whom it is niy pleas
ure and privilege to labor, I am the reader’s
Obedient servant, &c.,
THOMAS W. LANE.
City Court.
The City Council, at its last meeting, recon
sidered their former action relative to the sala
ry of the Judge of this Court, and then, by
j-olution, rnisod the salary of that official
.Min one to five hundred dollars.
Avery destructive tiro occurred at Hopkins
, Ivy., on Sunday tho 3d inst., destroying
i- perty to the amount of $-00,000.
Tho late Homicide at Washington.
Tho Washington Organ, 9th inst., gives a
pretty full repo, t of the examination of the
Hon. i\ T. Herbert, who in a late affray, shot
tho head waiter at Willard’s Hotel. The only
important item elicited, not heretofore given,
occurs in the testimony of several respectable
gentlemen, all of whom concur in tho state
ment, that the pistol was fired in tho heat of
tho affray, and while Mr. Herbert was sur
rounded by soveral of the waiters—some of
whom were holding him while others were
beating him over the head with plates.—
Wo have previously stated that Mr. H. had
been committed to jail, and bail refused him.
Filibuster Meeting in Now York.
Tho adjourned meeting of sympathizers
with Gon. Walker, was held in New York on
tho evening of the 9tl, was largely attended
and enthusiastic. Speeches were made, and
letters read, from Gen. Cass, and other sym
pathizers. A Committee was appointed to
raise and receive subscriptions, and material
aid promised the cause.
French Courtesy.
It is said that Majs. Dolafield and Mordecai,
and Capt. McLellan, U. S. A., who were sent
to Sebastopol to examine tho works there, and
improve their military skill, wero very rudely
treated at Paris, while endeavoring also to ac
quire information there. Permission to in
spect the fortifications was refused them by
the Minister of War, who is said to have closed
the interview with tho words, “(i 'ood-bye tilt
the first cannon shot.” Wo do not attach any
importance to this somewhat ominous fare
well, and have doubts whether the language
was ever used. Hhould it, however, happen
that the parties meet not again till the time
specified, we trust our officers will not forget
to reciprocate courtesies.

Air. Crampton, it i .aid, admits that tho
reply of Lord Clarendon on the enlistment
question will bo unsatisfactory to the United
State?

Florida Rail Koad.
Tho Charleston Standard lias some facts in
connection with this Road, which promise a
speedier success and completion of the enter
prise, than has been heretofore held out.—
Twenty miles of road from Feruandina, out, is
ready for the iron, and the graders, 1200 in
number, are at work upon the next seetiou.
On the superstructure 60 hands are employed,
and it is thought that forty miles of Road will
be in working order by the coming in of the
present crop. The Road Secretary has justre
turued from New York, where he has effected
a contract for iron sufficient for the forty miles
mentioned.
The Florida Central and Gulf Hoad is also
said to be progressing finely.
Mr. Buchanan Acoepts.
A despatch to the Charleston Courier, dated
Philadelphia, May 9th, states that Mr. Bu
chanan has accepted the nomination for Presi
dent, tendered him by the Pennsylvania Demo
cratic State Convention, and that he endorses
the Convention’s resolutions.
From Washington.
A Cabinet meeting on Nicaraguan relations,
was held on the Bth inst. From papers read,
it appears that the commander of the British
frigate Kurydice woe acting under orders, when
he prevented American passengers from going
up the rivorto join Gen. Walker, and that said
orders will continue to be enforced. It is
supposed that the Kurydice has by this time
been joined by ships of the British W. 1. squad
run. One of the Cabinet members is reported
to have said that Com. Hollins, had he been
present, would not have permitted the Eurydioe
to use force nil above mentioned, but would rath
er have sunk her. An American war frigate,
Coin. Paulding, ere this has arrived at Han
•luaii, and a collision with the British ships is
not impossible or improbable, should they act
upon the Kurydice precedent.
In this connection we would mention that
the Orizuba, from New York for Han Juan, was
to have sailed on Friday last, most of whose
passengers intend joining Walker if unable to
find a passage to Han Francisco. Instructions
go out in the O. to Mr. Wheeler of Han Juan,
uml to Com. Paulding.
The < uhinet are still divided on the question
of recognition of Walker’s Government, but it
is denied that orders have been or are to be
issued, enjoining a stricter observance of our
neutrality laws.
——
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions.
This Institution held its 19th Anniversary,
in New York last week. The receipts for the
past year, have been $201,933: Balance in
hand .$24,8(1; increase over last year SIO,OOO,
chictiy from ordinary contributions of the
churches—an encouraging indication of in
creasing interest in the Board’s operations.—
Thu publications have been the same as last
year: Eighteen missionaries, with thirty
male and female assistants, have been sent
out —a great inereaso over any previous year.
Thu Board now bas nine missions among tho
Indian tribes of this country; one in Liberia;
one in Corsica; two in India; one in Siam;
three in China ; one at Buenos Ayers ; one at
Bogota (New Grenada); and two missionaries
to the Jews of New York city.
Rev. Wm. Hpeer still has charge of the mis
sion to tho Chinese in California, and his la
bors are said to have been very successful.
The Board has remitted to various Evan
gelical .Societies of Europe during the past
year, the sum of $0000; and it is thought that
these societies have greatly aided the promo
motion and spread of Protestantism in their
respective fields of labor.
Georgia Items.
Rev. James E. Evans of the Macon M. E.
Church, preached his farewell sermon, to the
congregation of that church ou Sunday eve
ning last, prior to his departure for Na.slivillo
a9 tho Book Agent of the General Conference
of the M. E. Church South. Though Mr.
Evans’ departure is a cause of great and mutual
regret, tho change will much enlarge the field
of his usefulness—a consideration which Mr.
E. did not feel at liberty to disregard.
The books of subscription to the M in Trunk
Railway, chartered by the last Legislature,
were opened in Savannah on Monday last.
Mr. George D. Swift of Upson county, lias
been appointed Aid de Camp to the Governor,
with the rank aud title of Colonel.
Alabama Items.
The Eufaula Spirit of the South, 13th in
stant, reports cool mornings, frequent show
ers, and crops flourishing though somewhat
backward, in that region.
The Huntsville Advocate, 7th inst., reports
heavy rains in that section, watercourses full,
and running over, tremendous hail, witli thun
der and lightning, stands of corn and cotton
good, oat and wheat crops more flourishing.
From Havana.
The Charleston Courier has Havana letters
to tiie 4tli inst. We condense therefrom the
most interesting items of news :
A plan for the introduction of African ap
prentices to be on the same footing as tiie
Chinese coolies, lias been set on foot and is
making some headway. Concha is reported
to be favorable to the scheme, and tiie more
wealthy Creole planters bitterly opposed, and
actively at work against it. Tho petition for
the introduction is to be immediately forwar
ded to Madrid.
The Spanish war schooner Cartagena was
recently saved from shipwreck by tho U. S.
steamer Water Witch; the Spaniard was
aground and was got off only after throe days
hard labor. The Spanish papers arc profuse
in acknowledgements and compliments to tho
Water Witch; and tlio American population
areuiuch gratified, astheCubanauthorities have
ever been very kind to American ships in dis
tress. The W. W., had sailed for Washing
ton.
Two now patents have been granted—one
for tho manufacture of “artificial economical
coal"; tiie other for anew process of pressing
tobacco so as to retain all the aroma of the
leaf.
Tho Commission Mihtnr, a sort of inquisito
rial Court Martial, lias been abolished, and
suits pending transferred to civil courts.
Great rejocing has followed this liberal meas
ure.
A rich planter of Santiago de Cuba, had
imported several Norman stallions, for im
proving the breed of Creole horses.
The French brig La l’erouse celebrated the
■birth of Napoleon 111, with 101 guns. All the
men-of-war joined in the compliment. In the
evening the Perouse was illuminated, and
thero was a large ball on board.
The fires ou the sugar estates aud tobacco
plantations still continue to an enormous ox
i tent: some of the finest tobacco crops already
I housed, and in preparation for the market,
have been entirely consumed. The perpetra
tors have not been discovered.
1 wo childreu, a boy and girl, in Mass, were
recently poisoned, as is supposed, by the
essential oil of tobacco. They had been
blowing soap-bubbles, using for that purpose
the stem of an old tobacco pipe. The boy
died within 20 hours: the girl is still alive but
not expected to recover.
For Kansas.
The Carolina Times says that tliirty-oue
gentlemen start for Kansas from Laurens dis
trict, on the 20th inst., headed by Ueu. A. C.
Jones, who will he accompanied by his wile.
This, we believe, is the first lady who has join
ed the emigrants. All honor to her name.
- ■
Aid to Kansas.
An organization, called “The Frieuds ol
| Kansas,” was formed in Petersburg Va., ou
Wednesday last, having for its object the eu
l couruging of,Southern emigration to the new
territory. Among the speakers on the occa
sion was the Hon. L. M. Keitt, of South Cur
! oliniu.
The Southern Boatmen attempted last week,
1 to fire the new Railroad bridge over the Mis
sissippi, at Rock Island, 111.; little harm was
done however, and the fire soon extinguished.
—+ _
Whig Party Tarred and Feathered.
No matter whom it hits, the following, which
we fiud in a Western paper, is too good to he
lost:
“ In 1862, when the Whig Convention was
in session, first came news that Gen. Scott,
who was supposed to he prone to display, par
ticularly in plumage, was nominated for the
Presidency. Then came news that William A.
Graham, of North Carolina, the land of tar,
pitch and turpentine, was nominated to the
Vice Presidency. When this latter piece of
intelligence was conveyed to Mr. Webster, he
was engaged shaving himself. He stopped,
and, having hoard the news, remarked, in his
low emphatic manner as he deliberately wiped
his razor: “Well, I do not see, thou, but that
the Whig party have tarred and feathered them
selves.”
.Episcopal Convention of Georgia.
The Marietta Georgian of tho 9th says :
The Episcopal Convention of the Diocese of
Georgia convened in our city on yestorday.—
The opening sermon was preached by Rev. Mr.
Clark, of Savannah, and the exercises will be
continued until Sabbath, when eight persons
expect to be confirmed. We are gratified to
learn that the venerable Bishop is enjoying his
usual health.
♦
New Telegraph Line.
The Journal of Commerce learns that anew
telegraph linebetween New Y ork and the South
will be opened in the course of this month.—
The line will be worked under the Hughes
patent, generally believed to be superior to all
others, printing the messages in plain Roman
letters, and capablo of transmitting 5,000
words an hour over one wire, or 2,500 words
•from each end at the same moment.
The Central American Question.
The London Morniug Star, an organ of the
Manchester party, says:
“We are told that at the meeting of the
Cabinet on Tuesday, the 22d, at which Lord
Clarendon was present, for the first time since
his return from Paris, the answer to the Uni
ted States was agreed upon. On some of the
points connected with the Central American
question, the British Government are prepar
ed to give way, but they will not recall Mr.
Crampton.”
Whether the Administration will persist in
its demand for Air. C’s. recall, is an interesting
question yet to be solved.
A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.
The Cherokee Georgian mentions the arri
val at Marietta of the Rev. Air. Hutchins, a
Baptist clergyman, of Forsyth, Ga., in pos
session of another man’s wife. The woman
(Mrs. Cain) lias a husband in California.—
Hutchins is 65 years of age, and leaves behind
him a wife, children and grand children. lie
made over his little property to his lawfu’ 1
wife. The guilty parties have gone west.—
Hutchins (says our coteruporary) lias been in
the ministry 25 years, and has probably bap
tized more persons than any minister of the
Gospel in the state during that period.
Great Review of the British Fleet.
The naval review at Spithead or the 23d
ult.,[was one of the grandest and most imposing
sights of the sort that has ever been witnessed.
240 steamer :, of various sizes, carrying 3,002
guns, propelled by 80,761 Horse power, and
manned by 30,000 seamen, made up the com
pliment of this magnificent spectacle. In ad
dition to these, government had provided 12
steamers for the accommodation of the mem
bers of the government, the different public
functionaries and the foreign officials. But
tho most novel and significant feature in all
these arrangements was the fact of the Cuckoo,
a war steam ship, being specially and exclu
sively assigned to the press. This is the first
public recognition by the aristocratic element
in England of what is now virtually the fifth
estate in the realm.
The French Expedition to Madagascar,
The New Orleans Bulletin, in an article up
on tho naval and military expedition now be
ing fitted out by LouisNapolcon, forthe Island
of Madagascar, says the expedition, it is be
lieved, will be strictly a military one, aud the
object will be to invade and occupy the coun
try precisely* in the same manner as tho pre
vious military expeditious sent out by France.
She has already a foothold in Madagascar]
having been in possession of two forts on the
southeast coast since the reign of Louis XIV.,
and likewise a small garrison of troops sent
thero some time ago from the Isle of Bourbon.
It would be no great struggle with the na
tives, with the immense force France could
command, to take possession of the whole
| island.
From all accounts, Madagascar would be a
most valuable acquisition to France. The
island lying ou theenstem coast of Africa, from
which it is separated by the Mozambique chan
nel, is some eight or nine hundred miles long
hv three or four hundred wide, and containing
at the present day, at the most moderate esti
mate, some 1,600,000 or 2,000,000 souls. The
soil is remarkably fertile aud well watered,
yielding almost every description of tropical
produce, and abounding in largo herds of cat
tle. Sickness is principally confined to the
j coast, which, however, is by no means gener
ally insalubrious. The resources of the coun- !
try are undoubtedly great; and it has recent- I
lv been discovered that tho cotton plant flour- *
islics there, and produces abundantly.
I he present is an auspicious time for France
to undertake the subjugation of this niagnifi- !
cent country, with the view of incorporating it j
into the territory of France with the rest of I
her African colonies. She lias all the essential i
material on hand—both of men and means ,
and she can have no fears of her faithful ally, j
England, throwing any obstacles in the way, \
who has just acquired such iiiuueusc acccs- 1
sions to her already overgrown dominions in
Asia.— the. Republican.

TELEGRAPHIO.
Expressly for the Daily Hun.
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
AKHIVAI, OP THE ATLANTIC.
Columbia, S. C- Alay 12, 1806.
The Steamship Atlantic has arrived at New
York, bringing Liverpool dates to the 30th
ult.
The Liverpool Market was easier, with £d
decline in lower grades. Sales, 27,000 bales.
Consols are quoted at 92J —a slight decline
since last advices.
The British Government, it is expected,
will make arrangements for anew loan.
Further by tho America.
Boston, May 10.
The Turkish Grand Council has decided to
dismiss the Hospodars from the Principalities,
and to appoint Safid Effendi Ottoman Commis
sioner.
It is reported that Napoleon’s impatience
terminated the Peace Conference sooner than
was intended, so that the arrangement of the
difficulties concerning the Danube was left un
finished.
Italy still suffers from disturbances.
The latest telegraphic advices from London,
on Friday evening, 25th ult., stated that the
funds closed heavy at ] to j} lower than the
day before. The depression was owing to the
reports of anew government loan of £10,000,-
000 in addition to funding £5,000,000. The
decrease of bullion in the bank was £1,100,-
000.

Departure of the Nicaragua Emigrants.
We were on board the schooner Alinna
Schiffer last evening, just prior to her depar
ture. Her decks were crowded with as noble
a band of emigrants as ever started forth onany
adventure—good men, and true, from various
walks of life, but one in purpose, and indul
ging in one only hope the noblest hope that
can inspire humanity—that of contributing to
the foundation of a vigorous republic. They
numbered about two hundred and thirty in all
—stout, manly forms all of them, and evident
ly the right sort of material for anew and
unsettled country.
About one hundred and seventy-five of
them were under Col. John A. Jaquess, who,
from the first, has his heart’s warmest sym
pathies enlisted in behalf of the new republic,
and who now repairs thither for the purpose
of putting those sympathies into practical
use. From our knowledge of the Colonel, and
from the physical appearance of the band who
accompany him, we feel safe in the prediction
that he will give a good account of himself,
whatever fortunes may betide them.
Some twenty or thirty of the crowd—not
under Col. Jaquess—were from Mississippi,
a state that never fails to be represented
whenever colonization or fighting may be go
ing on. But the most interesting portion of
the emigrants were several lowa farmers and
their families—wives, daughters, and suckling
babes —wearied of the chilly North, and am
bitious of sticking their spades into the fertile
soil of the tropics. The adventurousness of
such men, in taking their wives and children
with them to Nicaragua at this time, was a
matter of no little wonder nml admiration to
the comfort-loving city-dwellers who clus
tered around them. But Daniel Boone was a
man of that kind, and is forgotten now?
We could not remain to seethe schooner off,
but suppose it must have been a sufficiently in
teresting and exciting scene, as a great crowd
of citizens were clustered on the adjoining
vessel, in order to take a last farewell of their
friends in the adventurous crowd. God speed
the Alinna Schiffer and her noble cargo ! — K.
O. Cresent.
A Grand Swindler.—Look out for Him.
There is a man passing through this coun
try passing counterfeit Gold Dollars. The
following is the way he “takes” the unsus
pecting in. He goes to a house and buys
some small trifle, such as chickens or eggs,
gives one of these base coins, and gets the
change, and then goes on to the next house,
and goes through the same as at the last.—
He is a grand scamp and the people should be
on the look out for him. —Rome Southerner.
Virginia American Convention’
Richmond, Alay 8.
The Virginia American Convention ad
journed last night, after appointing electors
for the Congressional and Senatorial districts
and counties. Messrs. John AI. Botts, Thos.
S. Flournoy, A. 11. Stuart and John S. Cariisle
were elected for the State at large.
Resolutions were adopted ratifying the
nomination of Air. Fillmore, endorsing him as
true to the Union and the Constitution, know
ing no North, no South, no East, no West
but looking to the interests of the whole coun
try. Also endorsing Air. Donelson as a friend
of the Union, patriotic and faithful to the
Constitution. The third resolution condemns
the squatter sovereignty doctrine of the Ne
braska bill, under which aliens vote in viola
tion of the naturalization laws; and the ascen
dency of anti-slavery sentiments is secured in
every territory hereafter to be formed. The
prospective spirit and harsh invectives of the
Democratic party towards the American par
ty are declared to be unjustifiable and unpa
triotic. The last resolution declares the Dem
ocratic party responsible for the embarrassed
condition of the finances of Virginia.
Cutting a Swell in Borrowed Dresses.
The New York Tribune has solved a mys
tery which it says has puzzled many: why wo
men should trail through the dirty streets of
New York costly dresses made several inches
too long for the wearer. These dresses are not
so made for the wearers—they were originally
made for taller women, and are borrowed. A
person well skilled in all such matters lias as
certained beyond the possibilily of dispute that
most of the women seen in Broadway with
costly dresses sweeping the pavement at their
heels have either borrowed or bought the ar
ticles second-hand at an old clothes shop
where they let out such things by the month,
week, day, or for single promenade.
Severe Storm.
New Orleans, Alay 8
This section of country was visited by a se
vere storm yesterday. The telegraph wires
have been blown down, and at Baton Rouge i
several houses wero prostrated.
Among the many preparations now in
use for the restoring, preserving and beautify
ing the hair, there are none that we can recom
mend with more confidence than Prof. YVood’s
llair Restorative, now in general use through
out the States. This preparation possesses
the most invigorating qualities, nnd never fails
in producing the most happy results when ap
plied according to directions. We refer our
readers to the advertisement for a few of the
innumerable certificates which have been sent
by parties, who have been benefitted by it, and
who feel happy in giving testimony to its won- I
