COLUMRUH:
IV<<IIMH<II< > Morning, May ’4l, 1 Hr.
liAItUKNT CITV CIRCULATION.
Superior Court.
Wp dropped into this Court yesterday, found
it remarkably quiet and dignified, an<l really
brilliant as to the bar, many of the legal gen
tlemen present, being well known throughout
the State, and not a few of them glorying iu
the title of Ex-M. O. There was nothing of
special importance (lone yesterday, and the
Court was engaged, at the time of our visit,
on a case in which recovery for burnt cotton
was being insisted on by plaintiff, and stoutly
opposed by defendant—the steamer Franklin,
llis Honor, Judge Worrell, has some idu yn
cracies. We notice in him, an entire contempt
for everything like ceremony, beyond strict
legal requirement; 110 sort of desire to magni
fy his office: and a free, familiar, blunt style
of talk to the lawyers, evincing bis desire to
dispatch matters quickly, withoutperipbra.se,
or waste of labor. Among other remarks of
his during our brief stay, was one which we
put upon paper, as an opinion merely, whose
correctness, wo are, for our own part, unable
to pass upon.
The lawyers were “devilling” a very intelli
gent witness who began to show some little
spunk, by dropping tho “sir” in “yes sir,”
and “no sir,” speaking short and quick, and
with an ovident consciousness of being rather
cavalierly treated. Thereupon, says the
Judge—
“ This Court has no parallel in Christendom.
The smallest points are contested with as much
vigor as if they involved millions; and the
smaller tho point, the greater the vehemence
and pertinacity of the contestants.”
City Court.
This Court commenced operations yester
dayj Judge P. 11. Colquitt, on the llench, Ju
nius A. Fox, Esq., Solicitor, and Calvin Strat
ton, Esq., Clerk.
Tho Grand Jury was busy all day, finding
true bills against assaulters and batterers,
among whom were two Magdalens—one re
splendent in silk and ribbon—and the Solicitor
was actively occupied throughout the day,
issuing his summons and arrests.
Tho Court passed upou ono case only—an
“ assault and battery ” —visiting thereupon,
the penality of a fine. The other cases will
bo, for the most part, postponed, owing to
absence of witnesses. A few of them, however,
will receive their quietus during the present
session.
Tho Court promises well—very well; and
will ore long bo recognized as a highly efficient
arm o’’ retribution, and promoter of city mor
ality. Owiug to “ one thing and another,”
impression has obtained to some extent, that
this Court would be a one-horse affair ; but we
opine it will not bo long ero divers and sundry
parties open their eyes to the fact that it is
an entire team.
Tho officers of tho Court, wo may remark,
seem quito at/ fait —quite use to the role of
presiding, prosecuting, and recording; and as
to dignity, it is duo to our candor to say, that
wo can perceive no difference iu tho two sides
of the saw-dust that strews tho Court House
passage—Superior Court one side, City Court
the other.

The Gordian Knot.
We stated yesterday, on tho authority of the
Washington Star, that Utah, a Mormon colony
or Territory, would soou apply for admission,
as a State—a delegation being now on their
way to Washington, to make the application,
and bringing with them a State Constitution.
For thoso several years past, we have watched
the gradual increase of the Mormon popula
tion, supplied from two fruitful sources, polyg
amy and foreign lands, and have speculated
not a little upon the inevitable dilemma,
which lias been steadily nearing us—the ques
tion of assent to or donial of, this petitiou.
Truly it is a difficult question. It is not pro
bablo that the constitution above alluded to,
abolishes thcTurco-Mormon practice of polyg
amy, and its accompaniments of harems, sera
glios, and other attendants of various sort,
utterly repugnant to us of the present Union.
Believing, as tho majority of Mormons do, that
polygamy is not only permitted by the Divine
Being, but is an institution authorized of hea
ven ; and finding no obstacles thereto in the
United States Constitution; and being anxious,
as humau nature ever is, to carry a difficult
point; and being stimulated thereto by past
persecution; and being sustained and encour
aged through that powerful element of man’s
nature, tho religious sentiment, it is altogeth
er probable that Utah will battle, inch by
inch, for the plurality of wives. Tho strong
est motives, however, for Mormon insistance
on this doctrine will be found in the thirst of
tho humau heart for triumph and revenge,
and iu the fanaticism which utterly blinds the
mere religionist.
Mormondom hus been an Ishmalite hitherto,
iu tbttt every man’s hand (almost) has been
against her. With the cry of persecution upon
bet lips she will now play out her pnrt, and
turn her hand against every man who dares
oppose her. Nor must any Hatter themselves
that Mormondom is but a handful—petty, in
significant, contemptible. Numerically, she
is already respectable, and she will have many
recruits from the “States.” Abolitionism
itself, which liko the ravenous wolf, hath for
these many years been at tlio southern heel,
may uow take pause; aud as the wolf, when
bribed with a bit of meat, suspends the chase
till it be devoured, so the abolition horde may
suspend for a brief period, its occupation pro
per, and amuse itself with advocacy of polyga
my. Whatever is new, rash, wild, supremely
mad, and disorganizing, is nutriment to these
hordes— delectable food. We may therefore
confidently expect that abolitionism, womans
rightsism, free loveism, Fourierism, Grccly
ism, and Parkerism, will coalesce with Mor
monism, to accomplish the darling object of
their hearts —the mere carrying of a point, let
that point bo ever so small, ever so temporary.
There is trouble ahead, turn this matter as
we may. We see no outlet whatever, which
! is not violative of commonly received political
l and republican principles. But what of that?
| Are we never to walk alone? Are we so cow
ardly that we dure not depart from old-time
; charts, though we know that adhesion to them
will be ruin ! We hope not. And come what
| will, it is our sdlemu duty to say to Mormon
i dom, and to all who join her, puugk tiiyski,k
i ki.uk Tirnn panst not kntkii.

Porpoise Leather.
The skin of tho white porpoise lias been
tanned in England, and a report say , it is fur
superior to the skin of any land uttimul. A
pair of boots was exhibted which had worn out
seven soles, though the price of the new leath
er is no more than that of common calf skin.
Efforts are on foot to make Annapolis, Md.,
the Headquarters of the Eastern Division of
tho United States Army. The Administration
is said to favor the scheme. .Should it bo
adopted, the officers will reside in tho city,
and the soldiers quarter at Fort Madison.
Lands and Land Warranto.
The bill recently passed in the United States
Senate, and previously by the House, granting
lands to lowa for Railroad purposes, has
caused a panic in the “ warrant” market. As
the measure will close most of the land offices
in that .State, the Union says that warrants
are expected to fall below $1 per acre, and
purchasers are at present unwilling togo much
boyond that rate.
The Common Council of Winchester, Va.,

Tho pistols which O’Connell used in his duel

Recognition of Padre Vijil.
In his late Message on this subject, the Pres
ident makes the following points, among oth
ers :
“ We recognize all governments, without
question as to their source or organization, or
the means by which the governing powers at
tain their power, provided there be a govern
ment de facto accepted by the people of the
country.”
“ We do not go behind the fact of a foreign
government exercising tho actual power to
investigate questions of legitimacy.”
“ We do not inquire into the causes which
may have led to a change of government. To
us it is indifferent whether a successful revo
lution has been aided by foreign intervention
or not; whether insurrection has overthrown
the existing government and another estab
lished in its place according to pre-existing
forms, or in 11 manner adopted for the occasion
by those whom we may find in actual posses
sion of power.”
All these matters are left to the people and
the public authorities of countries respectively.
During the sixty seven yesrs of our existence
under our present Constitution, we have had
occasion to recognize governments de facto,
founded either by domestic revolution or by
military invasion from abroad, in many of the
Governments of Europe.
The principle is vastly more important ns
applicable to the Central American States,
where revolutions are constantly occurring.—
Therefore, when the Minister from Nicaragua
presented himself, some months since, bearing
the commission of President Rivas, if the facts
which are now presented had existed, he must
have been received. The various objections
to him were stated.
Another Minister has now presented him
self and been received, satisfactory evidence
appearing that he represents the Government
tie facto, and go far as such exists, the Govern
ment dc Jure, of that Republic.
The message states that a Special Commis
sioner has been dispatched to Panama to in
vestigate tlio facts of late occurrence in that
quarter, and suggests that other measures for
the security of transit must be resorted to,
and if the present Constitutional power of the
President is not sufficient, he will communi
cate to Congress such recommendations as the
exigency of the case may indicate.
Miscellaneous Foreign Items.
Postage stamps have just been introduced
into Sweden, and the cost of letteer carriage
is now the same to nil parts of tho country.—
Letter boxes have been fastened up all over
the city of Stockholm.

The Emperor Napoleon has just purchased
18,000 square metre of land in the city of Pa
ris and divided it off into lots, on which he
intends immediately building a largo number
of bouses for the accommodation of the poorer
classes of his subjects. Each house, as soon
as it is built will be sold at public auction, and
the proceeds applied to building another.
A hill is now before the French Legislature
for reducing the postago on printed matter to
8-6 of a cent per ounce to any part of the
country—from any department to any part of
the same department one-half the above rate.
This is about oue third only of existing rates.
There acem< to be little doubt that the law will
pass, and if so, it will go iutooperatlon the Ist
of next July.
Baron Bulow.
One of the prominent officers of the Costa
Rican army is a Prussian Baron of tho name
of Bulow. He held a command in the army of
Bluchor when it so opportunely arrived to the
aid of Wellington on the field ’of Waterloo.
Some years ago he took part in an emigration
scheme to this Continent, which did not, how
ever, answer the expectations of its progeni
tors. Afterwards he took up liis residence in
Central America. A gentleman who saw him
tn Honduras several years since, states that ho
is ono of the most expert marksmen he ever
saw. and expresses the opinion that if there
are many like him in the Costa Rican army, a
bloody and doubtful contest is before the force
of General Walker and his Nicaragunn allies.
Later from Kansas.
St. Louis, May 17 —Advices from Kansas
state that Governor Shannon had sent an ex
press to Loxington, Mo., with the necessary
papers to arrest Gov. Robinson.
A Question of Veracity Between Mr. Clay
ion and the British Ministry.
Senate, May 14. —Mr. C layton said he had
seen in the morning newspapers what purported
to be an extract froth a letter from the British
Minister at Washington, dated March 31st,
1866, in which Mr. Crumpton says:
“It will be within your Lordship’s recollec
tion that Mr. Clayton was informed by Sir
Henry Bulwer, before the treaty of 1860 was
signed, that Russia was tie jure and de facto a
British possession, and Mr. ( layton lias on
various occasions since, in conversation with
me, stated that he considered Kuatnu a Brit
j isli possession as much as Jamaica, or any
other British West India Island.
Mr. Clayton branded thjs statement as ut
terly untrue in every particular. The British
, Minister must have labored under 11 hallucin
ation us strange as ever entered the brain of
I any man to make sueh a declaration. Noth
! ing like it had ever escaped him in conversa
tion with Crumpton or any body else. Fortu
11,1 toly the fact did not rest merely upon the
statements of Mr. Crumpton and himself. He
hud n living witness, and first he would call
attention to a letter written by Mr. Crumpton,
ami read in the Senate on the 1-th January,
1860, in which he, (Mr. Crumpton,) attempt
ed to prove that Ruatun was not h dependency
of Belize, und was not exempted from the pro
vision of the treaty of 1860.
Mr. Clayton had Mr. Crumpton’s testimony
on the subject, and road it to the Senate. He
would now read it again to contradict Mr.
Crumpton's statement, which was made known
to him for the first time this morning, and of
which he had not the most remote conception.
In this letter Mr. Crampton said—
“ The dependencies of British Honduras
are in my opinion, distinctly enumerated in
the treaty of 1780.”
Jte hud made this statement deliberately,
and the irresistable conclusion was that Itus
tan was not included in these dependencies.
Mr. Clayton said while 110 was detained ut his
lodgings, by sickness, in February or March
last, he was called upon by Mr. Crittenden,
aud while they were engaged iu conversation
on the subject, Mr. Crampton came in to in
vite him (laughter) to dine with him. He
(Clayton) was too sick to accept the invitation,
but took occasion to ask Mr. Crampton if he
knew anything of the charge that he (Clayton)
had ever admitted that Ruatun wus exempted
from the operation of the treaty, and Mr.
Crampton in most unqualified terms acknow
ledged that there was no truth in the report
that he, (Clayton,) had ever made any such
intimation to him.
Agditional Testimony. —Mr. Crittenden
corroborated Mr. Clayton’s statement. Ho
could not pretend to give the details of a
conversation at which he was accidentally
present, but according to his recollection, the
substance of it was directly contrary to the
statement iu the newspapers, and sustained
the account Mr. Clayton had given of it.
Mr. Clayton said he had made speech after
speech in the Senate endeavoring to prove di
rectly the reverse of what he was represented
as admitting. He was willing to put the most
charitable construction upon it, but it was an
utter mistake.
Mr. Cass thought it very certain Mr. Clay
ton, unless in some fit of insanity, could never
have said to Mr. Crampton what was attribu
ted to him.
Mr. Pratt inquired what evidence there was
that this letter was authentic. He thought
then must be some mistake.
Mr. Clayton had no knowledge as to its au
thenticity'. When his attention was called to
it this morning, he was much astonished, and
his first duty was to disprove the statement.
No matter by whom made —it was false. If
Mr. Crampton never made such a statement,
he was not injured by these remarks; but if
he did make it, it was for Mr. Crampton to ex
plain. It had appeared in the public prints,
and until it was denied or disavowed, Mr.
Clayton was bound to suppose it was a genuine
document. He should, however, he very hap
py to be assured to the contrary.
Mr. Fish, in response to a question from
Mr. Clayton, said that in the course of two
interviews with Mr. Crampton, the latter had
stated that Mr. Clayton always denied that
Ruatan was a British possession, lie Clay
ton) thought there must he some mistake in
tho copy of the letter.
Mr. Cass said that Great Britain, being re
peatedly driven from oue point of defence,
had invariably taken refuge at another, and
recent events had showed this more strongly
than ever.
The Wheat Crop in Tennessee.
The Knoville Register of the 15tli instaut
says:
From many reports, which reach us, we
fear that the wheat crop, iu many places, is
destined to turn out badly. The fly lias made
its appearance in several portions of this coun
ty, and many wheat-fields have suffered se
verely. The idications are that the damage
by the fly, is pretty general throughout lower
East Tennessee.
Dr. Davis, of Post Oak Springs, in Roane
county, writes us: “ The wheat crop, as far
as I have seen it, seems destined to destruc
tion, by the Hessian fly. I have examined the
bunches in several fields aud found from one
to forty eggs attached to the stalks.”
The Maryville East Tennesseean, of last
week says: From some of our farming friends
we learn that great fears are entertained that
they will not make a half crop of wheat, on
account of the fly. It looked quite promis
ing until within a few weeks, and now some
of the farmers are willing to sell their crop
for the feud.
The last Athens Post says the wheat has
been injured by the fly in that region.
Persons from upper East Tennessee inform
us that the fly has not been noticed iu that
section, and the wheat is quite promising.
The Growing Wheat Crop.
Mo have advices from all parts of the West
ern States, including Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
lowa, and Wisconsin, from which wo learn
that, with the exception of Tennessee, where
it has been frozen out, the growing wheat
looks exceedingly promising and henlthv.
I'he breadth of land sown with wheat last
tall was greatly increased over former years;
and the indications now are, that should tho
present month prove favorable, the wheat
crop of 1860 will bo the lnrgcst by *JS per
cent, ever gathered in the Union. The fate of
the wheat crop cannot be decided upon with
any certainty until after the middle of June.—

is engaged in ereetiug substantial telegraph
connection between Detroit and Chicago. The

train will carry an instrument, which can be
connected with the line at a moment’s notice,
by which the situation and direction of every
train upon the whole road can be known at
once. This improvement will be equal to a
double track for convenience, safety and des-
I patch; it will be finished in a few weeks.
Brunswick City Lots.
Alluding to the lute sale of lots in liiuus
wick, the Herald says :
.* The character of the purchasers may bo
inferred from the fact, that although the sale
was continued till near sun-set. at which time
there was a railroad meeting, contracts were
made that evening for improvements on the
lots purchased. There are many persons here
desirous of purchasing —and had intended do
ing so—but the lots sold for more than they
anticipated, and they have not yet got their
ideas sufficiently elevated to carry out their
intentions.”
Iu this connection, we publish the following
from the Savannah Republican, as matter
of news merely, highly interesting to many of
our readers , the Republican is commenting
on the late Brunswick Railroad meeting, aud
says:
It seems that the Directors have declined to
surrender certain chartered privileges to the
Atlantic & Gulf Company, which surrender
was made by the provisions of the charter a
necessary condition to the success of the last
mentioned work. We are also told that the
Main Trunk road was left wholly out of the
question, and the Company resolved to push
forward their own work according to the ori
ginal plan. Contracts were made with plan
ters along the Brunswick survey for grading
and wooden superstructure as far as the Alla
paha, which, we are told, is some seventy
miles beyond the proposed initial point of the
Main Trunk road : while arrangements have
been made with northern houses to furnish
the iron for the whole of this distance. Nor
is this all: we are told that the Brunswick
Company, not content with destroying all pros
pect of the Main Trunk, have determined to
frustrate a connection between Savannah and
Florida east of the Allapaha, and have order
ed their engineers to survey and locate a
branch line over the same route, they claim
ing exclusive privilege twenty miles on either
side, not only of their main line, but of their
branches. They have also determined on an
other branch, from their main line to Alban}'.
Our contemporary of the Georgian k Jour
nal is evidently alarmed at these bold ftml de
cided movements on the part of the Brunswick
Company, and seems to think that it is entire
ly iu the power of the Company to carry out
all which they resolved upon doing. We shall
not say it is not in their power, but wo may
say that the late meeting devolped no addi
tional “ways and means” to those which they
possessed heretofore, when they failed to do
it.
For ourselves, we see nothing in the late
proceedings at Brunswick to excite our appre
hension on account either of the interests of
Savannah, or of the Main Trunk Railroad.
And especially do we join issue with our con
temporary in his suggestion that the “ true
policy ” of Savannan, is “to strike directly
for Albany.”
Allied Navy in the Gulf.
The late Kingston, Jamaica, Journal says:
Id. B. M. ship Powerful (83) Captain Massie,
from this port to Havana, with orders to unite
all the English and French naval forces sta
tioned in the Mexican Gulf, and to start im
mediately for Nicaragua.
The French frigate L’ Ambuscade had reach

Rev. James 11. DeVotie.
The friends of this able minister of the
Gospel will be pleased to learn, that he has
been called and accepted the Pastorate of the
Baptist Church at Columbus, Georgia. We
regret to lose as able a man from our State,
but we congratulate the citizens of Columbus
in being able to secure the services of a gen
tleman of so devout piety, and so an able divine
as the Rev. James 11. Devotie.— Marion (Ala.)

Head Quarters of the Indians.
The Alligator (Fla.) Advertiser of the 9th
instant, says that Col. Wright of the exploring
party, has made a report to Col. Whitney sta
stioned at that place, in which he states that
the Seminoles have made Gulf Hammock, in
Levy county, their place of rendezvous. Trails
had been seen, at various points in the neigh
borhood, leading into the Hammock, and it is
believed that the greater portion of the sav
,ages ai - e ensconced in that swamp from which
they sally forth 011 their depredations. Col.
Wright calls for aid to explore it, as his pres
ent force is wholly inadequate for that pur
pose. The necessary aid lias been sent for
ward by the Governor. The Tampa Penin
sular of the 10th, says two soldiers were fired
upon by a party of Indians at Fort Drum on
the 2d instant, but the latter made their es
cape into the hammock. —Savannah Rep.
Mr. Mace, who testified before the commit
tee of Congress in Kansas, in relation to some

Another Attempt, —Last Monday night,
another attempt was made to set fire to Judge
Bird’s residence, at the same place where the
former attempt was made.
It would ho a great blessing, and a relief to
every citizen in Cahaba, to find out who this
incendiary can be. It seems that he confines
his operations to Judgo Bird’s premises, and
must be influenced by some feeling of interest
or hostility to him or his family —Cahaba (Ala)

Frost on the Ninth of May.
N e learn that considerable frost was seen
in this latitude on the 9th inst., in low places.
The weather during the latter part of last

it. —Marion (Ala.) Commonwealth.

Important to American Travellers.
It is perhaps not generally known that the
Austrian government has given notice that the
American travelling passports will not be re
spected by their officials if they bear date
three years anterior to 1860. It is, therefore
proper for Americans about visiting Aus- !
tria to have their passports renewed, which
can be done by forwarding the same to the
State Department at Washington directly, or j
through the proper authorities in the different I
cities. — Exchange.
