liAKtiKST CITY CIUCULATION.
Sheriff Jones not Dead.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican
writing from l’nluruio (Kansas) May sth, re
ports sheriff Jones, who was recently shot and
as was supposed, killed, to be still alive, but
in a critical condition. The letter is dated
several days later than the Missouri paper
which announced the death.
K +
Recruits for Walker.
We mentioned yesterday, that the Orizaba
from New York to Kan Juan, would take out
reinforcements to Gen. Walker. One hundred
and thirty men left Baltimore on Friday last
for New York, it is said to take passage on
theO., which was to have sailed next day.—
They were chiefly from the interior of Mary
land, and were organized in two companies.
Rather Unusual.
We were taken quite aback yesterday, after
a brief absence from our chair, to find it occu
pied on our roturn, by an ancient and matron
ly lady of the feathered species, commonly
called a hen. Never before in all our experi
ence, had we such a guest in the sanctum, and
it was with some difficulty that we induced
her to resign the chair. Cicero, Ciesar, and
other great and learned men, have believed in
signs und omens, and wo were curious to know
what this lion meant and what she wanted. —
Perhaps she intended presenting us with a
golden egg, thought we. Perhaps Mrs. Par
tington is dead, and knowing our affection for
her, has taken on this guise, in which to pay
us a visit. Perhaps—but the mystery was
soon solved. Driven from the “chair” to the
“table,” and thence to the floor, our strange
visitant indulgod in a few loud remarks that
seemed to us very like scolding, and betaking
herself to the rear of the sanctum, ensconsced
herself snugly, and in duo time, announced to
the world the birth of one rnoro incipient and
hopeful chicken, making almost as much clat
ter as if her egg contained a French Prince
Imperial. While our visitor was lying perdu,
her ‘boss’ came in with angry brow, and made
u vigorous search for her ladyship, but we gave
him no encouragement, not having the heart
to disturb her. Should this nest-egg lead to
a brood, great things may bo expected of them.
Reared in the very midst of presses, printing
ink, and papers, they will doubtless be most
intelligent chickens.
Gas.
The demand for Gas in Charleston has so
increased since the first meter was built, two
others have been found necessary, their total
capacity being 470,000 cubic feet; and it is
now thought that the demand will warrant the
organization of anew Company. Hitherto
the cost of raw material has rendered tho
manufacture less remunerative than was ex
pected ; but tho new company having obtain
ed a {latent for the manufacture of gas from
wood, it is expected that their profits will be
much enhanced, wood being so much cheaper
than coal.
Georgia Items.
Hiß Excellency Gov. Johnson, and the Hon.
James L. Seward, left Savnnah yesterday
morning, to attend the Rail Road celebration,
at Brunswick, which comes off to-morrow.
The Superior Court of Chatham county will
postpone its criminal docket till the 3d Mou
day in Juuo next, in order to accommodate
the Supreme Court with a room in which to
hold its sittings.
Drs. James E. Godfrey, and Joseph J. West,
two young physicians of Savannah, have left
for Paris, whero they will complete their med
ical education.
The Chatham Artillery, Capt. John E. Ward
tired 70 minute guusin the l’ark(Savanuah) on
Monday ’ast, as a tribute of respect to the
memory of the’ late Gov. Troup, who was an
honorary member of the Corps. The News,
(from which wo get the above items) says:—
Besides the unusually largo turn out of the
active members of the corps, wo observed that
one of the guns—the beautiful piece which
having been taken from the French by the
British, was surrendered to the Americans by
Cornwallis, and subsequently presented by
Gen. Washington to the Chaihaiu Artillery—
was manned by veteran honorary n embers of
the company, in citizens dress, with swords.
The evening was remarkably pleasant, and the
tiring was conducted with the regularity and
military precision which characterises the
evolutions and exercises of this thorough-drill
ed and efficient corps.
A meeting of the citizens of Savaunah was
to be held yesterday, to consider the propriety
of a city subscription to the Atlantic and Gulf
Rail Road.
Tho Annual Convention of Stockholders in
the Ga. R. R. & llkng. Company is now being
held in Augusta, and is numerously attended.
The river at Augusta is in good order, and
the boats still contiue to make their regular
trips.
A barrel of oil in tho Drug store of A. A.
Solomons & Cos., Savannah was discovered to
be on fire on Sunday morning last, and fortu
nately extinguished in time to prevent dam
age. The discovery was made by two pass
ing policemen.
Arrest of a Thief.—On Thursday eve
ning last our City Marshal, having been no
tified by telegraph, stationed himself at the
Railroad depot and on the arrival of the ears
from Macon, promptly arrested a young man
named P. M. Smith, charged with having rob
bed flie trunk of Fedrick Terry, at Macon of
S2OO in gold. Upon the person of Smith was
found $lB5 in gold, and a bunch of skeleton
keys. He is a young man about 17 or 18
years old with an intelligent expression of
countenance, but we fear he is already a oom
firrned rogue.— Griffin Union.
Commercial Bank, Selma.
We learn from the Reporter, that books of
subscription to this Bank were closed on Sat
urday last, the sum of $305,000 having been
taken—sufficient to authorize a commence
ment of operations. The election of a Presi
dent and Directors will be held on the 14th
proximo.
Rail Hoadbi and their Profits.
Some enthusiasts, unmindful of the old
: adage, “ too much of a good thing is good for
nothing,” have longed for the day when horse
power and mule-power will be superseded by
steam; when MoAdam shall hide his dirniiiT
ished head ; turn pikes, plank-ronds and toll
gates be dimly remembered antiquities; and
every man, in short, have his own railway,
running by his own door. They think that
will be a “good time,” and are impatient for
its coining; but on its arrival, if ever it come,
woe to the owners of railroad shares. Our
enthusiastic friends have buttoturn their eyes
to Ragland, and behold, if not full realization
of their hopes, no mean approximation to it.
England is literally riddled and beslashed with
railroad tracks; every village has its depot, its
accommodation trains, its time-tables, &c.—
The roads are well constructed, thoroughly
equipped, ably managed ; but they do not pay.
Tho original holder of shares in any of the
ten great English railways, say to the amount
of $50,000, now finds himself minus SIO,OOO
capital. The original owner in any of the
eight chief French roads—-the only ones quo
ted in the market—now finds himself plus
SOO,OOO, for every $50,000 of original invest
ment. The French fares are lower than the
English, nor are their roads better managed
than those of England, for English tact, skill,
new inventions, etc., are all turned to the best
advantage by their neighbors. The enormous
disparity is solely attributed to the respective
policies of the two governments. In England
railway completion is fostered, and rival roads
are encouraged; the business which might all
be done by one company is divided between
two, and each is thus less able to work at
cheap rates—the end apparently sought by
the English policy. In France, on the contra
ry, no road is chartered which would material
interfere with the business of another, and a
general system of consolidation has been adop
ted, which virtually reduces the whole number
of roads to eight principal ones.
There is food for thought in these facts, and
a moral not unworthy the attention of Geor
gians and the various conflicting interests in
the South, generally. The maxim that “half
a loaf is better than no bread” has never been
in favor, we bolievo, with railroad men; and it
behooves all projectors of such works to look
ahead, and provide against “short commons.”
George P. Morris, in his “Hits at the
Times,” tells an amusing story of two rival
stage proprietors who began boating each oth
er down, till at last ono carried his passengers
for nothing; his rival, game to the last, now
offered a premium of 25 cents per head, and
had tho glorious satisfaction of monopolising
the whole travel; foralongtimeno one claimed
the premium, but at last an inexorable passen
ger pointed to tho published agreement, and
demanded his quarter. It was handed him by
the chivalrous und “enterprising” proprietor,
but that was his last drive. He closed busi
ness, and retired broken-hearted into private
life—disgusted with the ingratitude of the
public, and having for his only consolation,
tho remembrance that he had driven liis rival
from the field, and pulled him “up short” at
tho gratis notch. In view of tho rampant rail
road spirit now prevailing in some sections,
we have related this story, and will conclude
it with that often-quoted but sage scrap of
Latinity, Verbum sap.
The Charleston and Memphis liail Hoad,
From the recent report of the Board of Di
rectors, we learn that only one link of this
great chain of communication remains to be
finished—that is the section from Tuscumbia
to Pocahontas, 71 miles. The road is now fin
ish from Stevenson, Ala., (where it connects
with tho Nashville and Chattanooga road, and
by it with the Western and Atlantic,) to Tus
cumbia, 129 miles; and from Pocahontas to
Memphis 75 miles, with a branch to Somer
ville 13 miles. Os tho forwardness of the work
on the unfinished gap between Tuscumbia and
Pochahontas, the report says :
“ Most of this part of your road, as you
were informed at your last annual meeting,
had theu just beeu let to contract. The work
of grading and masonry had progressed steadi
ly during the whole year, with but slight in
termission from failures of contractors, who
have been promptly dismissed and their work
re-let to others, until it is now believed that
every section of it is in the bands of efficient
and reliable contractors, who are progressing
with such rapidity as to give satisfactory as
surance that they will complete their work in
time to lay the track by the Ist of Jauuarv
next.
It is estimated that tho whole cost of the
road will be $5,531,219. The energy with
which the Charleston and other stockholders,
liberally aided by the State of Tennessee, have
prosocuted this important work, is highly
creditable to their enterprise and public spirit.
We are glad to learn from this report that the
work promises to be ultimately a source of
profit to the stockholders. Tho business of
the Western division for the past 12 months
(without an Lnstern oounectiou) has amounted
to $256,836, the net profit $140,863, or 12$
per cent, on the cost of construction; and
wheu tho line is opened the whole distance
from Charleston to Memphis, the greatly in
creased business can hardly fail to yield a still
larger per cent.
Another Slice.
On the authority of a letter from Mexico,
which it inserts, the Journal of Commerce
states that our Minister to Mexico has essen
tially adjusted the terms of a Convention by
which wo are to acquire auother slice of Mexi
can territory—how large is not stated, nor the
price to be paid for it.
Not much wo hope. If this traffic in Mexi
can slices is intended to be continued, we opine
that it would be better to make a wholesale
trade—buy down as low as Gen. Walker, and
make a finish of it. We think Mexico should
be content to be gradually absorbed without
making us pay for the privilege of American
izing and redeeming her. The price should be
“nominal.”
Severe Storm.
New Orleans, May 8
This section ofcouutry was visited by a se
vere storm yesterday. The telegraph wires
have been blown down, and at Baton Rouge
several houses were prostrated.
Telegraphic Items.
Congressional. —lll the U. S. Senate on
Monday, Mr. Cass made a speech on Kansas
art sirs. The House refused to suspend the
rules to enable Mr. Cliugman to introduce liis
resolution for the better protection of Ameri
! cans on the Isthmus. The bill appropria
ting s3o, o'b) for keeping opeu the mouths of
the Mississippi was passed.
The Washington Homicide.— Mr. Her
bert has been admitted to bail in the sum of
SIO,OOO, and is to appear at the June term of
the Criminal Court, to plead to an indictment
for manslaughter.
Tiif. New York Fillibubtkr Case. —Capt.

Tiie Panama Riots.— Amos B. Curwiije,
formerly Consul at Panama, has been appoint
ed a Commissioneer to proceed to Panama,
on tiie 20th inst., to take testimony rela

Tin; U. States vs. Postmaster Kendall
In this case, the Texas case was continued
at the instance of the U. S. District Attorney,
although the defence pressed the trial and of
fered to admit in evidence the testimony of the
absent witnesses heretofore introduced.
Fcrtuek per Atlantic.—Peace has been
formally proclaimed.
Important meetings of political parties pre
sage trouble in Parliament. A Blue Book has
been published, containing all the Central
American documents.
It is said that the discussion in the British
Parliament, in relation to the fall of Ivars,
will be the test question as to the strength of
the Ministry ; and on the 28th ult. the debate
commenced with a motion for a vote of cen
sure. The treaty has also been laid before
Parliament.
Later advices from India and China state
that l'rome had been destroyed by fire; that
the insurrection in China was active; that
the Imperial troops had been defeated at
Shanghai, and that an extensive fire had oc
curred at Hongkong.
The Liverpool Cotton Market. —Some
Circulars report Cotton as simply easier; oth
ers quote Jd decline per lb. on the lower
grades. The sales since the 26th ult., com
prised 27,000 bales of which exporters and
speculators took 3,500. Middling Orleans quo
ted at C 5-10d, and Middling Upland at o[.
On the 30th ult., the market was quiet, with
a downward tendency.
Congressional. —The senate has passed
the House bill, donating 1,500,000, acres of
land to lowa, for rail-road purposes. The
vote stood, Ayes 31, —Nays 9; among the
latter we notice the name of Senator Toombs.
Quite an interesting debate sprang up in
the Senate on Thursday upon the Danish
Sound dues question, in which Messrs. Clayton,
Seward, Hale, Bayard, Toombs, and others,
took part. The debate hinged on the treaty
making power of the President and Senate.—
Messrs. Clayton, Bayard, and others held that
the parties to the treaty having made it, were
competent to unmake it. Mr. Hale held that
the President and Senate were incompetent to
abrogate it; and that the U. States could only
be represented by Congress and the President,
in the repealing of treaties. Mr. Toombs ap
proved Mr. Hale’s views, and contended that
tho Constitution delegated to no one the pow
er of repeal, which must be accomplished ac
cording to the terms of the treaty itself. He
also opposed the whole movement against
Denmark as a petty affair, too small for our
Government to be engaged in. While admit
ing that Denmark had no right to collect a toll,
Mr. T. was willing to pay the dues, as they
were a mere trifle, and so long as other great
and powerful nations were paying their pro
portions. He would however be for resistance
if the United States were discriminated
against.
Georgia and Florida Railroad.
From the late report of Col. Tift, President
of this Road, we learn that it will be comple
ted from Americus to Albany by Oct. Ist 1827,
after which according to the report, the nett
earnings will amount to over 16 per cent, per
annum. But, if any one is sceptical, says the
Report, he may reduce the cotton receipts
even to 40,000 bales, and the return freight
and passengers in the same proportion, and he
will still find a nett profit of $46,460, or more
than 11 per cent, per annum upon the capital
invested.
“The charter of our Company extends from
Albany to Thomasville, 57 miles, and thence
to the Florida line, in tho direction of Talla
hassee, 14 miles, making a Trunk line from
Alnericus via Albany and Thomasville of
about 106 miles, with the privilege of branch
roads which is enjoyed by the Savannah, Al
bany and Gulf Railroad Company. This road
is destined to form the great North and South
avenue for trade and travel between the Gulf
coast of Middle Floridaand tho interior of Ga.;
and if the two great projects now in progress
—the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad
and the Brunswick and Florida Railroad
should cross our Road, tho first through Al
bany to Mobile, according to their charter,
I und the other through Thomasville, it would
> add value to the stock of the several roads ;
I they would eross at right angles to our roadj
j and thus form mutual feeders.”
Mayor Wood has had his salary iucreased
from $3,000 to $6,000 during his absence
from New York, and is also spoken of for Gov
ernor by prominent Democratic papers of New
York state. So much for doing one’s duty.
| Mayor Wood has done no more; yet so unusu
al a policy in these days of political and mu
nicipal profligacy, has achieved for him an al
most world-wide reputation.
Ihe Richmond Enquirer is opposed to the
recognition of Nicaraguan independence. Mr.
Evans, Lnited States Senator from South Car
j olino, is understood to be on the opposite side
and anxious to be heard on the floor of the
Senate. It is said that he will compare the
course ot the Administration with thatof Gen.
Jackson s during the Texan struggle for lib
erty, and endeavor to demonstrate that the
administration policy is not truly Democratic.
Clerical Effrontery.
A temperance paper in Portland, Maine,
edited by a clergyman, says:
“W e afiirn that it is the minister’s duty to
tell the men how to vote, and if men vote wrong
they should be rebuked for it, as for any oth
er evil deed.
The Nicaragua Meeting in New York.
We have before us the full proceedings of
this meeting, but cau only give the gist of the
Resolutions, as follows:
Preamble —Whereas, Every oppressed peo
ple who are struggling for their natural rights
and the enjoyments of civil liberty, have a right
to ask the aid and assistance of any man or
any people on the face of tho earth; and
whereas, to granrt such aid and assistance’ is
the universal and natural right of all men and
all people ; therefore,
Resolved Ist. That after ten years struggle
against oppression, the people of Nicaragua
had aright to invite General Walker to aid
them.
2d. That Gen. Walker thus invited had a
right to go, and is entitled to all honor, be
cause of liis going, and liis success and brave
ry.
3d. The United States should acknowledge
Nicaraguan Independence, and repel the right
of Britain or any other country to hold them
to account for such acknowledgement.
4th. Nicaragua should bo in the hands of
an acknowledged and friendly power, in order
to the protection of American Commerce, and
the preservation of quiet on this continent.
sth. That we look upon our so-called neu
trality law's, fastened upou us by Great Bri
tain when we as a nation were comparatively
in our infancy, and for which England is bound
by no reciprocal law, as evinced by the recent
developments regarding her secret aid to Cos
ta Rica, as prejudicial to the rights and inter
ests of our citizens; as wholly at variance with
the great principle of our institutions, and as
unbecoming the dignity of a great and liberal
people.
6th. It is .she duty of the American Govern
ment to protect its citizens wherever they may
be.
7th. That the cold-blooded butchery of our
fellow citizens at Virgin Bay, on Lake Nicara
gua, by the savage Costa Ricans, and that, too,
under the orders of their superior officers, was
a wanton outrage upon humanity that ought
not to go unpunished. [Applause.]
Bth. That it is time the aggressive and in
terfering spirit of the British Government in
the Southern portion of this continent should
receive a check ; and that the savage warfare
waged by Costa Rica against the Republic of
Nicaragua, aided and encouraged by that Gov
ernment, demands the rebuke of this nation,
and calls loudly for the practical enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine.
9th. That in his present critical position,
sustained by his brave band of chivalrous
Americans and native Nicaraguans, nearly sur
rounded by ten times as many barbarous Costa
Ricans, with British rifles in their hands, and
foreign mercenaries in their ranks, Gen. Walk
er needs prompt and liberal material aid ; and
remembering the aid which our forefathers
invoked, and to which Koscicusko and LaFay
ette so nobly responded, we, as citizens of New
York, hereby pledge ourselves, to the best of
our abilities, that he shall have such aid, and
we confidently look to the citizens of our sister
States to join us in our efforts in behalf of
those who are suffering in the double cause of
liberty and humanity. [Loud applause.]
Two other resolutions were also adopted,
which were introduced by Gen. Walbridge,
who remarked that he had offered them in
Congress, but without success. The first,
enunciates the principle that an American ves
sel, engaged in lawful commerce, carries her
protection at her mast head, and her colors are
the evidence of her nationality; it also de
nounces as obsolete, the so-called rights of
impressment, search, detention and visitation,
by foreign powers, claiming their exercise to
be just cause of war.
The second resolution, denounces the intro
duction of European systems of Government
into the Western Continent, and claims that
the sovereignty of Cuba should never pass into
other hands than the United States, should her
sovereignty ever be transferred.
Thieving Negro Caught.
A runaway negro, calling himself Tom, who
says he belongs to Mr. David Williams, of Co
lumbus, was yesterday placed in jail as a run
away and thief. On the 25th ult., the store
of Mr Whitner, corner Bull and York sts.,
was broken open and robbed of a gold chain
and key, a silver watch, a fine pistol, and
about $75 in cash. The key and chain were
to-day found in possession of William, a slave
who had them of Tom as security for money
loaned, also a superior watch belonging to
Tom, believed to have been stolen either in
Columbus or this city. The accused will un
dergo a formal trial on Wednesday.— Geo. $
Journal \Wi.
Frank Ball, well known in the cities of
the Northern and Eastern States as the
principal mesmeric subject of Leroy Sun
derland at lectures which he gave in 1846,
and ’47 and 48, has commenced publish
ing a series of papers entitled “The Ad
ventures and Revelations of Frank A. Ball
as a ‘Mesmeric Subject,’ ” Sunderland
and he made more converts to mesmerism
than were made by any other ten persons
in that time. He now states that he never
was in the mesmeric sleep, but did all
the experiments by collusion; and he ex
plains how it was done, and appeals to
a number of witnesses to confirm the truth
of what he says. He makes affidavit to the
truth of his first paper which is confirmed
in many of its most material points by a
respectable gentleman now residing in
New York.
A letter from Washington 3ays that tho Su
preme Court will receive no new motion nor
hear argument after the 9th instant, and will
adjourn on the 15th. It is doubtful whether
an opinion will bo given on the Missouri slave
case. The Attorney General designs, if tho
arrangements of the Court will permit, to occu
py one of the remaining days in arguing the
case of the Marshal of Wisconsin, against
Booth, involving the Constitutionality of the
Fugitive Act. No counsel is engaged on the
other side.
Among the many preparations now in

the most invigorating qualities, and never fails

who feel happy in giving testimony to its won
