Thursday Morning, May IH3O.
LARUKMT CITY CIRCULATION.
Superior Court.
Administrators Estate of Botkin vs. < Iwners
steamer Franklin. Cooper and Johnson for
Plaintiff—Dougherty and Thornton for Deft.
This case was brought to a termination yes
terday, after a somewhat tedious trial. It was
an action against the owners of the steamer
Franklin, for recovery of the value of 188
hales cotton, shipped on that boat for Apalach
icola, and accidentally burned while in transi
tu. The Jury rendered a verdict in favor of
the Defendant; but We learn that the case will
be carried up to the Hupreine Court. As the
decision is one of much interest and impor
tance, we give an abstract of the Judge’s
charge below.
Gentlemen of the Jury:—ln this case the
Plaintiff alleges, that on the 20th of December
1868, Defendants received on board the Htcamcr
Franklin, 133 bales of cotton, to be delivered in
Apalachicola. Haid cotton, while in transitu,
was consumed by fire, and Plaintiff now claims
that Defendants are liable for its value, as
common carriers.
There is no controversy about the facts, that
Defendants were common carriers; that they
received the cotton; that the same, together
with the boat, was consumed by fire, prior to
reaching Apalachicola: neither is there any
controversy about the value of the cotton, ac
cording to the then market prices
The main question is, whether or not, De
fendants, as common carriers, were liable un
der the law. The Plaintiff insists, that Defend
ants are liable aside from any agreement; that
though there was an agreement, it is null and
void. Defendants say, they made au agree
ment limiting their liability. No question
presents greater difficulties Ilian this. The
Supreme Court has twice decided it, and on
each occasion, difforontly. In England, it was
once held, that a common carrier could not
limit his liability: but for sixty years past,
the reverse has bedn bold. I give it to you in
charge, that a common carrier may limit his
liability. The only question before you then,
is, did Defendants make an agreement ex
empting themselves in case of lire ? Defend
ants must adduce proof of such agreement.
But it may also be implied from circumstances;
nor is it necessary that it should have been
expressed verbally or in writing.
If the evidence shews that steamers on the
Chattahoochee, always gave bills of lading for
freights received, therein exempting them
selveß from liability on account of fire; and that
such was the caso in the present instance; and
that this custom was certain, well established,
and known to Col. Harper, who was tho Plain
tiff’s agent, and who contracted for the trans
portation of this cotton ; and that Col. 11.,
directed tho boat to take the cotton from the
landing, make out a bill of lading, and deliver
thosurne to Harper & Holmes at Apalachicola;
and that tho officers of said boat did receive
tho cotton and make out such bill of lading;
and that said cotton was burned before delive
ry to 11. & 11.—then you may infer that tho
agreement not to be liable for tho cotton in
case of fire, was made; and vice versa.
Two or three of our exchanges, alluding to
mail failures, speak of our Sun, as never fail
ing to arrive, and always in season. What
else could be expected of a sun ? Our thanks
are due to all and singular, the P. M’s. on the
various routes, for their attention and promp
titude. Can they not also send us a few sub
scribers, and entitle themselves to nn extra
copy ?
City Court.
This Court was deeply engaged yesterday,
in ice-breaking—defining its own powers, and
laying down first principles.
Jury Duty. —Mr. James J. Todd, had been
summoned as a juryman, and failingto attend,
was fined in tho sum of s*2o. lie thereupon
put in a plea of exemption, by virtue of his
membership in the City Light Guards, volun
teer corps. Judge Colquitt held, that the Act
organizing the City Court, having beon passed
subsequent to the act chartering the “Guards;”
and there being no specific exemption in the
Act organizing the Court; and the repealing
clause of said Act, having annulled all con
flicting previous Acts, of which the Guards
charter was one, the plea could not be sus
tained. This decision will be of interest, not
only to our citizen soldiers, but to the mem
bers of tho City Fire Companies.

The Late Panama Kiots.
We have before us the correspondence be
tween the Governor of Panama, and Captain
Bailey of tho United States ship St. Marys ;
but as our readers have from time to time,
been put in possession of tho facts in the case,
we ouly give below, the concluding letter,
which closed the correspondence :
U. S. Sloop St. Mahvs, i
Panama, April 213, 1860. j
His Excellency Don Francisco de Fabrega,
Acting Governor, &c., of Panama :
Sir—l have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your replies to my communications
of tho 23d and 24th inst.
Apart from the announcement of the resto
ration to the owners of the cannon and arms
illegally taken from the steamer Taboga, I
must confess that they atford me little satis
faction.
I had expectod when asking for information
as to the causes of the frightful occurrences
on the 15th inst.. that apart from the immedi
ate origin of the tumult,you would have deem
ed it due to yourself as the Chief Magistrate
of this community to state why and wherefore
yo i undertook the tearful responsibility of or
dering your police to fire upou my coun
trymen, women and children, and to state what
steps you had taken to punish the guilty and
restore the plunder.
Ten days have elapsed since the catastrophe,
and I have yet to learn that a single criminal
baa been arrested, or that any portion of the
immense atnouDt of valuables taken from the
passengers and railroad company has been re
turned. I have yet to learn that your high
“conciencia dc mis dehcrcs i In intelligencia
de los grandes intcreses que se lijain u la con
servacien de estc linea de transito universal”
extended any further than to order an indis
criminate massacre of the passengers over this
transit.
I have yet to learn that when a not or colli
sion shall take place between foreigners on tbe
one side and natives ontbeother, you recognize
any higher obligation on your part than to
protect and assist the latter and to disarm,
murder, maltreat and plunder the former.
Is it possible that your Excellency recog
nizes but one party to ft riot ? that you shel
ter yourself under the philosophic assurance
that the fearful catastrophe of the 16th inst.,
was the result of “ elcinentas tun heterogen
ous corno los que fomuu nucstra poblacion i la
emegraciou Californinna ?”
The deduction I regret to State, affords me
little assurance of the safety of transit lor the
future, unloss your Excellency shall devise
some most speedy and efficacious method for
rendering these unfortunate “elements” less
“ heterogeneous hereafter.”
The police, who took part in this terrible
tragedy now guard the lives and property of
the transit passengers. The “ Jendarineria,”
who, with the same philosophy as your Excel
lency, deemed it best in tho late emergency to
destroy the foreign “element,” are the relia
ble means of protection which your Excellen
cy will furnish us to any extentfor the future;
and it no doubt should be a source of gratifi
cation that they have since the 16th inst. per
mitted tho passengers and treasure of the
steamers Uncle Sam and Golden Age to make
the transit without murdering the one, or plun
dering the other.
1 am, with the force under my command,
but from eight or ten days removed from com
munication with my government, and am there
fore bound to submit to their judgment the
manner in which the fearful accountability
that you have incurred shall be investigated;
and to their discretion thy indemnity that shall
be demanded for the past, and security for the
future ; meanwhile T shall do nil in my power
to avert nriy danger that may occur to the
transit passenger, from whatever quarter it
may coino and under every emergency.
In directing my first communication to your
Excellency, I had no desire to listen to apolo
gies for certain parties or certain acts, but an
earnest wish to know what you did toward
punishing the parties concerned in the fright
ful atrocity. 1 wanted not sophistry, but ac
tion—the names of the criminals arrested—the
officials dismissed—and some allusion to plun
der restored.
That I have not been thus gratified, I have
no reason to doubt, arises from the fact that
you deem the origin of the affair sufficient
justification for its frightful conclusion.
I shall here take leave of your Excellency
as a correspondent, and shall have the honor
to submit your two communications to my
Government, presuming that they will not be
more satisfactory to them than to me.
I am respectfully, sir,
Your obedient servant,

Early Christians and their Slaves.
A correspondent of the National Intelligen
cer writes as follows:
In these days, when the principles of Chris
tianity are tortured to mean almost anything
that a diseased prejudice may dictuto, it is re
freshing to go back to the earliest times of its
existence, aud see the practices of those who
lived in the generation next but. one to that of
the Apostles, I send you an extract from
“ Buusen’H Ilippolytus and his Age,” vol. 3,
page 5. It is an authentic compilation of
“ The Church aud House Book of the Ancient
Christians,” and tlie chapter, “ How they
who require to be instructed are to be examin
ed before they aro admitted.” Tho extract, is
as follows:
“ Let-thoir manners and their life be inquir
ed into, and whether they be slaves or free
men ; and if any one be a slave, lot him bo
asked who is his master? If he be a slave to
one of the believers, let his master be asked if
be can give him a good character. If lie can
not, let him be rejected until lie show himself
to be worthy to his master; but if he does
give him a good character let him be admitted.
Hut if he be a slave to a heathen, let him bo
taught to please his master, that the Word be
not blasphemed.”

any one who chooses can verify the quotation.

Remark s of Senators Crittenden, Mason and
Wilier. —Accompany the Message of the Pres
ident were reports from the Secretary of State,
Secretary of the Navy, and the Attorney Gen
eral, in reply to a resolution of the Senate of
March last: also a resolution from the House
of the Bth of May last, both having reference
to the routes of transit between the Atlautic
and Pacific oceans, through the republic of
New Granada and Nicaragua, and to the con
dition of affairs in Central America.
These documents are very voluminous.
Those from the Attorney General comprise in
structions to prevent the fitting out of expe
ditious of a military or naval character for in
vading the territory of uny foreign powers
The report of the Secretary of the Navy
embraces various orders to the commanders of
the Susquehanna, Potomac, Fulton and St.
Mary’s. The Secretary encloses to Commo
dore Paulding a copy of the statement of
Captain Tinklepaugh of the steamer Orizaba,
saying : “It presents a case making it mani
fest that our flag should be shown at San Ju
an, Nicaragua.” In consideration of the cir
cumstances, lie directs him to proceed there
with tho frigate Potomac; and in distributing
the vessels of the Home Squadron, he gives
particular instructions to each commander to
touch at Panama, Aspinwall and San Juan as
often as consistent with a due regard for the
interests of our country in these parts. The

Don Molina, the Costa Rica Minister, under
date of April 18th last, in a letterto Mr. Mar
cy, speaks of fillibustering persons as being
always hostile to that Republic, stating in
candor and frankness that the careless con
duct of this class is the sole cause which com
pelled Costa Rica to undertake the war in
which she is now engaged, and imposed sacri
fices which she protests she will reclaim from
whoever may be responsible for the same.
Mr. Marcy replies on April 26th to what
Don Molina calls the lawless conduct of the
inhabitants of the United States, sayiug that
it reflects on the good faith of our country in
regard to its neutral relations not only with
Costa Rica Rica but with each of the Central
American States. That charge could not be
lightly made, and was presented without ade
quate proof to sustain it,
After arguing in favor of the right of ex
patriation, ho says: “ Respect for Costa Rica,
and Don Molina himself, requires that his lan
guage shall bes. interpreted that it shall not
imply a charge of connivance on the part of
this government at a violation of the neutrali
ty laws.”
On the 2d of May, Secretary Marcy sends
Don Molina the papers detailing the shocking
barbarity and slaughter of non combatants by
Costa Ricans, and says: “The President is
willing to believe that Costa Rica, will prompt
ly condemn the perpetrators of the inhuman
outrage and inflict upon them exemplary pun
ishment, Costa Rica had departed from the
laws of war, and he calls attention to the
transaction at Virgin Ray for such proceed
ings on its part as the nature of the case de
mands.”
On May tith, Don Molina tells Secretary
Marcy that he has informed his government of
these transactions; and doubtless Costa Rica
will rep yin a satisfactory manner. She will
not authorize acts to tarnish her good name,
and professes to have as much horror as the
United States for shedding the blood of inno
cent people. If it shall bo proved that such
persous suffered, she will, without the least
doubt, bring the guilty parties to trial in or
der to be punished as they deserve. Don Mo
lina says that this war is not between Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, but between the united
people of the States, or rather of Central
America, against a band of unauthorized ad
venturers who are impoverishing and pressing
the inhabitants of Nicaragua, and who are
threatening to impose the same yoke upon the
vest of Central America. Costa Rica cannot
accord the rights of w r ar to a band of men an
swerable to penal laws which certainly are
not more severe in those States than in any
other State of the civilized world. He express
es the hope that our government will suspend
its opinion till an investigation be made into
the events at Virgiu Ray, and that it will not
be too severe with regard to Costa Rica. She
is defending her most sacred rights against
those who have outraged and attacked her
merely because she is weak.
Don Augustin Vijil writes Secretary Marcy
under date May 14th, saying :
“The unhappy state of the country in
which he was born, and a desire of exerting
his best efforts to relieve it, has led him to
leave his native shores to represent its inter
ests in the Capital of this blessed Republic
and proceed to place the affairs of Nicaragua
in such a light as to induce Mr. Marcy to view
its circumstances in their true aspect, con
cluding with expressing a hope that the Gov
ernment of the United States will be a friend
to Nicaragua.”
Next follows a letter from President Rivas,
dated April 17th, addressed to the President
of the United States, as “Great and Good
Inends,* in which he says: “ Desirous of
cultivating friendly relations, 1 have thought
fit to accredit Don Augustin Vijil as Minister
to tho l nited States—a reliable person on ac
count of his knowledge of public affairs and
patriotic feeling, to the end that he may enter
into treaties of alliance; and he asks this
government to treat him kindly.”
Mr. Mason moved to refer the message to
tho committee on foreign relations, and that
it be printed.
Mr. Crittenden said he regarded the subject
I as a very important one, which ought not to
I puss from the consideration of the Senate into
; the hands of the committee without remark.
. He had seldom if ever listened to a message
I from the Executive which was fraught with
more absorbing interest, or which might lead
] to more serious consequences. In one week’s
time the country would be agitated from one
end to the other on this subject, and it might
result in our being involved in war. If we
wove to have war, however, he wanted it to
be accepted or denounced by Senators, in an
open, manly manner, and not’to have a course
of policy pursued by which we should go ou
step by step blindly, until we fall into the pit.
1 lie government of Nicaragua, which the Pre
sident has officially recognized, was a thing of
yesterday as it were.
At any rate the shoes were not yet worn
| out upon the feet of thosowbo had wrought
tin.’ new resolution, and alreauy the Executive
had become satisfied of its permanency and its
capacity to discharge its duties as a nation in
the great family of nations. This seemed to
lmn a very hasty conclusion to arrive at in a
matter ot so much consequence, the resolution
hating been effected too, a9 the President ad
mits, by the co-operation of our own country
men, who went there contrary to the laws of
this country.
Mas this the national prudence which had
hitherto guided our course? What said Jack
son, when 1 exas long stood knocking for ad
mittance into tho Union, eveu after we were
assured of her ability to govern herself, and
when she had. by repeated victories, cstab
ished her title to be considered one of the
communities of the world ? Jackson’s mes
sage gave a thorough rough, profound and
patriotic rebuke to every principle in the pres
ent message.
We mix ourselves up in the affairs of the
nations, as dangerously sometimes by recog
nizing these communities, suddenly rising into
existence, as by entangling alliances with for
eign powers.
Mr. Mason said he could see no objection to
a reference. The document merely informed
the Senate of the actual condition of the coun
try in which we take a great deal of interest.
The President had learned that a change had
taken place iu the government of Nicaragua,
which simply amounted to the fact that they
had one set of law-makers in lieu of another,
and beiug satisfied that the new Government
was a Government de facto, and had sufficient
ability to conduct the affairs of the country,
the President felt himself called on to receive
its Minister —that was all. The argument of
the Senator from Kentucky, in the case of
Texas, would not apply here. That was anew
nation in the family of nations. But Nicara
gua lias been recognized as a political commu
nity ever since 1824—at one time in confede
ration with other States, and afterwards as a
separate State.
When they change their Government, allwc
have a right to inquire is. Is it a real Gov
ernment, and have they shown sufficient sta
bility to entitle us to regard them ? We have
had a Minister resident there several years,
and she has had one here. We have been on
terms of political intercourse witli Nicaragua
for a series of years—as we have with other
Governments, and the President, by virtue of
his office, must regulate our diplomatic inter
course witli foreign ministers.
This existing Government of Nicaragua has
been established six or eight months, and, so
far as we are informed, it is a Government of
greater stability than had existed in that un
fortunate country for many years. The Sena
tor has spoken of war—who are we to war
with? When is the cloud to arise? Does he
allude to a foreign trans-Atlantic Government,
that has more than once intermeddled—as we
have never done —but have always refrained
from doing, witli the domestic as well as po
litical affairs of Nicaragua ? Are we to be de
terred by that from acknowledging that Gov
ernment ?
Mr. Mason said if he thought the recognition
of this Government would bring to an issue
the questions pending between us and any
foreign power, iu which we were in the right,
he would not hesitate to do it. We had not.
refused to recognise the existing Governments
of France as they passed through the various
stages of monarchy, anarchy, military despot
ism, as a republic, and at last as an autocracy.
Mr. Pratt said that tho government of Ni
caragua being recognized, our citizens would
have a right to go there, and could make that
a stable government, which was not so now.—
He thought that nineteen-twentieths of those
who had established the government were
Americans who had gone there in violation of
the neutrality laws.
Mr. Mason said that the recognition would
not affect our neutrality laws in the slightest
degree. Our citizens are at liberty to go
where they please, and after they had reached
a foreign country they could engage in any
pursuit they pleased.
Mr. Weller gave a history of the struggle
between Choniorroo and Castillian, saying that
Walker went there by invitation of the latter
after lie i.ad succeeded in establishing himself
at the head of the Nicaraguan army. This
present government was established by aid of
North Americans at the request of the natives,
and during the six months it has been in op
eration there has been no civil war, and he
knew of no party in Nicaragua who were try
ing to upset the existing government. There
was no other pretended government there.
He alluded to British interference iu behalf
of Costa Rica, and said the British government
had, during the last eight years, annexed two
hundred thousand square miles, being more
than the territory of all the Central American
States combined. Our Central American
affairs are fast coming to a head. It may be
we shall be precipitated into a war, but, if so,
we may just as well settle tbe matter now as
at any other time.
I desire war with no country. I represent
a constituency upon whom will fall the full
weight of the first blow that shall be struck,
but if we are to have a war let it be on this
great principle. We are on the right side and
the God of our Fathers will go with us and
give us victory. “Thrice is he armed whohas
his quarrel just.”
The documents were then ordered to be
printed and without taking the question on the
reference the Senate adjourned.
Memphis and Gen. Walker.
The Memphis (Tenn.) Eagle, of the 13th
inst., says : Ben. L. Jones, Esq., of De Soto
county, Mississippi, arrived here on yesterday
morning from Nicaragua. Mr. Jones visits
Memphis for the purpose of raising a company
of 200 men to go to the assistance of the Ri
vas-Walker government. He is a reliable,
trustworthy gentleman.
When Mr. Jones arrived at Castillo Rapids,
on the San Juan river, on tho 22d ult., he
met with Lieut. Rogers of the Nicaragua army,
who informed him that Walker’s army was
very much in want of provisions—whereupon,
together with Mr. J. M. ‘Walker of Tippah
county, Miss., Mr. Jones went down to Grey
town to lay in a supply of provisions to be
taken back to the army. On arriving in sight
of Greytown, in a small steamer, he was met
by a boat from an English frigate, lying in the
harbor, whose officer boarded the steamer and
told Mr. Jones that he would not be allowed
to land there—remarking that such were the
orders of the English Captain! No other course
was left but to submit, and Mr. Jones, seeing
no chance of returning to Gen. Walker’s head
quarters, concluded to take the regular steam
er for New Orleans.
N. E. and S. W. Alabama Railroad.
The Stockholders and Directory of this
Hoad, met in this place on the 14th and 15th
instant. The amount required to authorize a
commencement of the Road, was reported by
a committee appointed to examine the amount
and character of the subscriptions, as having
been duly made up. Out of over six hundred
subscribers, the committee reported not over
10 to 12 of n doubtful character and these for
small amounts only, and that the subscription
was of a most reliable and solvent character.
The old Board of Directors were re-elected
unanimously : the original organization of of
ficers, &c., preserved ; a resolution passed to
prosecute the work; and the Chief Engineer
instructed to re-orgnnize a corps of Engineers,
and set about letting the deficient grading on

with as little as possible. The meeting was
interesting and spirited, as evinced by the
