COLUMBUS: 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. Assault and Uattkry.- -The State vs. Thomas Harrison. Junius A. Fox, Fsq., Sol.

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, [Signed] T. BAILEY, Commander U. S. N. Early Christians and their Slaves.

The City Court met on Monday, and was or ganized by Judge Anderson, and preceded to business. Tliis being its first term, nothing of importance was transacted on Monday.

Central American Affairs in the Senate. 11K1T1S1I INTHJU KRKNCK. 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 sloop of war St. Mary’s being instructed to remain at Panama as long as she is needed. The mass of documents contain full particu lars of the outrage at Panama. 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 the first Division, for half cash and half stock with as little as possible.
