COLUMBUS:
Ei-triay Morning, Miy I*so.
LARUBBT CITV CIRCULATION.
Jury Duty.
Wo gave in yesterday's issue the decision of
his Honor Judge Colquitt, as to the liability
of members of Volunteer corps and Firo com
panies, to perform jury duty in the new Crim
inal Court of the city. Via learn that his
Honor’s decision will be cariied up to the Su
preme Court for confirmation or reversal.
City Court.
Retailing without License. The State vs.
John McOovran. J. A. Fox, Ksq., Solicitor
General for the State. L. T. Downing, Esq.,
for the Defendant. Verdict—Guilty. Fined
$26 and costs.
In the above case, a point of some interest
was decided by the Cort. We don not under
take to give it in legal phrase, nor to quote
the Court. It seems that there was more than
one offence; and the first indictment was
quashed, it having been proven that the par
ticular offence theroin specified, had already
been atoned for, by payment of a fine in the
Mayor’s Court. The Judge held that in cases
of retailing without license, where the lefend
ant ha 9 been acquitted or convicted in the May
or’s Court, such previous acquittal or convic
tion, may be plead in bar of further action in the
Criminal Court of the city, for and on account
of the same offence, as to identity of offenco
in point of time. That is to say, the man
who lias retailed without license on the 4th
of March, for instance, and has been fined
therefor in the Mayor’s Court, can not be again
punished for that offence. Rut if it ho proven
that he also retailed without liuccnse, on any
day previous to March 4th, and that such pre
vious retailing had not been before the Mayor,
the case is cognizable in the City Court, and
cun there be tried. The City Court having
concurrent jurisdiction with the Superior
Court, it cannot pass upon a case which would
bo donied trial in tho latter Court. Trial
would bo denied for unlicensed retailing, pre
viously punished by tho Mayor.
The Late Vetoes.
The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, alluding to the President’s
veto of the St. Clair Flats bill, and the bill for
deepening the mouth of the Mississippi, says :
Os course, if he vetoes these, no improvement
bill will escape him. These two bills were
passed first, as pioneer hills, because they were
believed to be ns national in their character as
any works could be. Both have heretofore
been prosecuted under appropriations from
Ihe government. An attempt will be made to
pass the bills by constitutional majorities,
notwithstanding tho President’s .objections
But this will fail.
Somo opposition inny be made against Mr.
Pierce's nomination at tho Cincinnati Conven
tion on this score. It is doubtful whether the
Democratic party arequito prepared to sustain
so strict a construction of tho Constitution on
this subject.
Off for Kansas.
We learn from tho Atlanta Intelligencer,
that a company of twenty-five enterprising
young men, from Morriwether county, passed
through that place last Tuesday, on their way
to Kansas, under the command of F. A. Boy
gan.
Sam Houston.
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph of tho 12th
inst., says: “ From a private letter received
in this city from Washington, I). C., we learn
that Sam Houston has declared himself an in
dependent candidate for the Presidency.”
Trouble in the Atlanta Medical College.
Tho Intelligence of ‘2lst, says: We very
much regret that certain reports prejudicial to
this institution have for the last three days
been in circulation throughout this city.
Thoso reports refer to the means resorted to
for tho procurement of subjects. No better
effort to injure the College could be desired,
than the charges that have been bruited about
Asa simple act of justice we are requested to
ask of our fellow eitizeus a suspension of all
ill fecliug and opinion in the premises till an
authorative and official statemout of the truth
involved can be prepared, which will soon be
done.
England and the United States.
The London Daily Nows lias tho following
comment upon tho demand for Mr. Crampton’s
recall:—
“ That which Mr. Crampton did was done
openly and frankly. Ho announced to the
Cabinet at Washington that the Queen's gov
ernment would be glad to receive recruits in
Halifax for a foreign legion, and for months
and months he explained all his plans to Mr.
Marcy- -showed Mr. Marcy Lord Claret lon’s
instructions on no account to ruu any risk of
infringing the laws of the United States. He
remained in the most confidential communica
tion with Mr. Marcy on the subject; and ns
soon as it became apparent that the United
States government were averse to tho scheme,
it was abandoned, and the depot at Halifax
was broken up. To ask, under such circum
stances, for tho recall of Mr. Crampton, is
really to invite the English Cabinet to disgrace
i self for tho aiuuseiueut and gratification of
the government at Washington, and we confi
dently trust that the good ense of tho Ameri
can people will see the matter in this light.”
This last argument is certainly very ingeni
ous. It is not a very pleasant alternative that
is offered—acceptance of the British construc
tion of the enlistment difficulty, or non
acceptance for want of “ good sense.” But
as there are two sides to a question, it will be
well to hear from Mr. Marcy, who may have
an issue of veracity to make, such as has been
forced upon Mr. Clayton.
Strange Bird.
There is in the possession of Mr. J. N. Low
is, of this place, says the Yorkvilie (S. C.)
Citizen, a bird that is evidently exotic. Al
though it can fly, it was caught about four
miles from town without any difficulty. Its
bulk is about that of a pigeon, body of a beau
tiful dark blue, shauks green, long and slender,
claws 1J inches; its bill is red, tipped with
green. It appears to preferfighting to running;
and the mystery is, how it evergothere, as its
legs could never have carried it somehundreds
of miles, and its wings are too short for a
flight of more than a few hundred yards. It
is well worthy the attention of Ornithologists.
Ladies Skip!
A Correspondent writes: “1 notice in the
Sun, a laudable ambition to be a reformer.
You need wish no better field than tho present
status of female health, and the ways of wo
men in these latter days. Os course T tliiuk
you above any silly simpering about the “lust
best gift,” Ac. Ac.. to the end of the nauseous
chapter. Give the women a good, honest talk.
Tell them whither they are tending; and that
the way they now carry on, will not do—not
begin to do, and must be reformed. In a word,
put upon paper the •id thoughts—that we who
love them, as the best and most important part
of creation, —cannot help having, Blow up .
Runout your longest guns! If need be, car
ry your point by storm.’ Then tolow sun
dry severities on thin slippers, small bon
nets, long dresses, Schottisches, Redo was,
“masterly inactivity,” crotchet work, over
dressing, flippant talk at balls and parties, and
so on and so on, through the long catalogue
of female mal-praetioes.
Our correspondent certainly suggests a fruit
ful theme. But he may, or may not, be sur
prised when wo tell him, that for our own
part we differ with him toto rcclo, iu his cen
sure of the gentler sex. We admit the facts,
and we deplore them; but we do not hold the
ladies responsible; nor can we, with any ‘how
of justice condemn them. The lamentable
physical deterioration of American women, is
a source of sorrow to every thinking mind,
and is the burden of many an editorial. As
the fair sex are but human, we must admit
also, that they have their share of follies,
frailties, feeblenesses. Rut so far from visiting
upon their heads the blame for these follies,
we lay it upon men —not to tlatter, nor to in
gratiate ourselves in the good opinion of the
fair, but simply because the truth is the truth,
and wo would not wittingly be guilty of in
justice. We hold that men are to blame for
ninety-nine one hundreths of the evils coin
plained of, and we undertake to make our as
sertion good. It is the sterner sex who need
a “plain talk.” Let us look at the facts.
Mr. A., has a daughter to be educated. He
will talk to you by the hour about female fol
ly, but what does he r/o? He lias bis daugh
ter educated in tbe same manner, as the daugh
ter of Mr. 8., his neighbor. You do not find
him inquiring what is best, or what is right.
All he troubles himself to know, is, the man
ner of other people’s doing; and as a conse
quence most young ladies are trained up, as
drosses are made, according to the latest pre
vailing pattern. The head of the house, if he
wishes reform, should himself inaugurate it.
“ A young gentleman goes into a ball-room.
Whom does he seek ?—the wise, the amiable,
the good, the intelligent? Not he. lie looks
up the pretty, the “accomplished,” the fash
ionable, the elegantly dressed, the rich. It is
the truth, and we defy contradiction of it,
that a plain woman, iu a plain dress, without
rent-roll, is no more noticed in “ society,” to
our eternal shame bo it said, than a statue—
not so much, if the statue be a rare one.
Men complain of the ridiculous fashions.
But let a woman depart from them, and she
finds herself a laughing-stock. We venture
to say that if a lady were to array herself in
the bonnet, only, of ten years ago, and prom
enade Brodway, she would not only be stored
at, and made the target for vulgar joke and
comment, but be dished up in the morning pa
pers—perhaps as one of the strong-minded.
We hear a deal of complaint about women
secluding themselves, not taking sufficient ex
ercise, &c. &c. What is the masculine prac
tice in this respect? How many men can you
lay your finger on, that will give up their day
books and ledgers, for an hour’s stroll with
their wives? Not one in twenty. The wife is
left at home, most of the day, and often a
large part of the night, that the husband may
pursue his darling object—inordinate wealth,
llow many men retire when they have got
enough, and devote themselves to domestic
pleasures, and efforts to make homo what
homo should be? Not so many as one in
twenty.
These remarks might be indefinitely extend
ed ; but this, every reader can do for himself.
The subject needs not elucidation, but serious
thought; and we shall conclude it with one or
two observations, which though palpably true,
and generally known, are very seldom thought
The female nature is very different from the
male. The one is passive, the other active ;
the one negative, the other positive; the one
recipient and defensive, the other aggressive
and militant, lu a word, men were made to
woo, and women to be won—barring occasion
al exceptions of mannish women, and woman
ish men. The controlling element in a wo
man’s nature, is desire to please the other
sex; and this is inborn, inwoven, and she is
nut culpable for it. Divine wisdom so ordain
ed, and iu aid of this, woman lias been given
a nicer and quicker perception, than man.
Obedient to these laws, women, a majority of
them, consult not their own taste, so much as
their idea of what will make them acceptable
in the eyes of the other sex. Was there ever
a woman known, who did not strive to look
well, and be handsome. Why? Because
beauty is the first of virtues? No. But be
cause men have made it so.
Let us then, who are so unxious for reform,
begin it ourselves. Let us remove the beam
from our own eyes, that we may see clearly
the mote in tho other sex. Let men show by
their acts, that they prize worth above beau
ty—amiability above wit—simplicity above
gandincsß—modesty above elegancy true
taste above display— warmth of heart, and
cultivated mind, above wealth—and jolly, jo
vial, boisterous, ruddy health, above meritri
cious delicacy nnd effeminato beauty, and w C
will soon have no room to grumble. One
more word aud we have done. Men, most
men, are often guilty of an offence, which in
our eyes, outweighs all the frailty of woman.
We allude to the abominable flatteries which
they dispense so freely. Let them look after
their own skirts, and it will be full early to
attack those which they know very, very little
about.
TELEGRAPHIC! ITEMS.
From Washington.
May lit. —The President has vetoed the bill
for the improvement of the St. Clair 1 lats, nt
the mouth of the Mississippi river.
It is understood that the President will not
veto the net making appropriations lor the im
provements in the Savannah river.
The ease of Mr. Crampton was considered
’in Cabinet session to-day. it is confidently
believed he will he immediately dismissed.
The Mouse of Representatives lias refused
| leave for the introduction of a resolution for
inquiring of the President iu relation to the
recent alleged murderous Assaults in Kansas.
The House passed joint resolutions nuthor
i i/.ijig the Secretary of the Navy to dispatch a
vessel to Cape Verde vfith provisions private
ly contributed.
Mr. Buchanan is indignant at Lord Pal-
I merston and Karl Clarendon’s reiterated mis
representation as to the arbitration of the dif
ficulties with Great Britain, lie says that
the whole character of their occasional and
accidental reference to this subject warranted
him ifi supposing that the object was to sound
our Government as to its views and not sub
mit a specific proposition.
The Hon. John (i. Miller, a member of Con
gress from the fifth district of Missouri, died
on Sunday last.
Later.
Mr. Crampton was not dismissed on Satur
day, the Cabinet having determined to wait for
the arrival of the Asia’s mails before they came
to a final decision on tbe matter.
Latest from Knnsas.
St. Louis, May 10.—A letter inthe Repub
lican says that Gov. Shannon had sent an ex
press from Lecompton to Lexington with the
necessary papers to arrest Robinson and se
cure bis return to the Territory.
The Committee of Congress are now in ses
sion at Leavenworth, and it is understood that
when they return to Washington, Mr. Oliver
will make a minority report.
A letter from Kansas, dated the 9th inst.,
states that the Missourians having threatened
to destroy the testimony of the investigating
committee, sealed packages were forwarded to
Washington in charge of Robinson. They
were not discovered at Lexington, and Mrs.
Robinson proceeded with them after the ar
rest of her husband.
Astor House, N. Y.
New York, May 19.—The firm of Coleman
& Stetson, the landlords of the “Astor House,”
has been dissolved, iu consequence of their in
ability to meet tlie acceptances of A. B. Cole
man, of the “Burnett House,” in Cincinnatti,
Ohio, amounting to $140,000. All the regu
lar debts of the Astor House are secured, and
Mr. Stetson will continue the business.
For Kansas.
The Columbia (S. C.) Times of the2lst inst.
says : lieu. A. C. Jones, of Laurens, S. C,.
arrived yesterday in command of a company
of the young men of that district as their Cap
tain, bound for Kansas. Every district in the
State ought to send out a company to “occupy
a place in the picture.”
Ceil. .Tones is accompanied by his wife,
whose influence cannot fail to operate for good
upon the noble young men who have placed
themselves under the command of Gen. Jones,
The company will leave for Kansas this mor
ning, via. Augusta, Ga.
The Charleston Standard says: From letters
received by persons in Charleston from rela
tives who have recently gone on as emigrants
militant to Kansas, we learn that they have
formed themselves into a Rifle Company, at
Atchison, of which F. G. Palmer was elected
Captain, R. DoTreville Ist Lieut., R. D. White
2d Lieut., and J. Vanderhorst 3d Lieutenant,
and expect soon to be ordered on to take part
in the disturbance which is expected soon to
be brought to a crisis at Lawrence. At pres
ent, it would seem the office of the pro-slavery
party to give law and order to the Territory,
and they exhibit the ability to perform it.
Privateering.
The Baltimore American remarks that, un
der the principle now established by the allied
powers, privateering would be piracy, and
this our contemporary presumes, is the object
of the agreement to which England and
France have come, and which they will no
doubt seek to impose upon the world as inter
national law.
The powers making the declaration have,
however, cxpressedly disclaimed for it an obli
gatory character upon nations not represented
in the Conference, and content themselves
with a resolution to apply to such nations, and
solicit their acquiesencein the principle. Such
an application to this country would be entire
ly useless. And if, in the event of war, pri
vateering should be treated as piracy and pris
oners bung up, the United States government
would be compelled to retaliate and hang up
every prisoner taken from the government
vessels of its enemy. On the shoulders of
the party pronouncing privateering piracy,
would rest the entire responsibility of the
barbarous character which the war, in such
an event, whould necessarily assume. Sav.

Little Freak.
The Loudon Times in enumerating some of
the consequences of the late war, says in the
jauntiest maunerpossible : “We may certainly
say that we spent last year £35,000,000 more
than we should have done but for that little
freak of the Emperor Nicholas.”

Minister Crampton.
The Blue Book lias been received here, and
shows that Mr. Crampton has made some
strange statements of the conversations with
Mr. Marcy and Gen. Cass, as well as with Mr.
Clayton, 110 takes care to inform his govern
ment that all our public men give up all the
points in dispute as to the rights claimed by
Great Britain in Central America.
Gen. Cass will have to make an explanation
on his own account when the Senate meet
again.— H* ash. Cor. Charleston Counter.
Jenny Lind Goldschmidt.
The Philadelphia Ledger, states that private
letters from London speak of Jenny Gold
schmidt s success there ns fully equal to her
former triumph. Her charities*have been as
usual, most noble; matrimony has chastened
her caprices : English air nnd diet have re
established her health, and her boy is the im
age of his mother.
Counterfeit Gold.
The Rome (Ga.) Courier understands that
some of the rascals, who have been through
that section passing bogus Gold Dollars, have
been arrested at Centre, Ala. These counter
feits are likely to deceive the unwary. Thev’
nrc in size and color a sac simile of the genuine
coin, but arc without the “ring” and theword
Liberty on the head is so badly blurred that
it cannot be read. Me would caution our
readers to be 011 the lookout, for it is supposed
that there are quantities of these spurious
coins in the northern parts of Georgia and
Alabama.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE,
ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
—♦-
CoLUMiiiA, May 23.
The steamship Canada has arrived with ad
vices from Liverpool to the 10th iustant, being
seveu days later than those by the Asia.
The cotton market was easier than when the
Asia left, without any change in prices. Sales
of the week -1(5,000 bales.

We notice a statement in the Federal Union,
on the authority of J. O. Spann, to the effect,
that it was at his, and not Thomas Parker's
instance, that J. G. Smith wus arrested in this
city. We make the correction with pleasure.
Padre Vijil.
The New Orleans Delta gives the following
account of the Nicaragua Minister at Wash
ington :
Padre Vijil is a remarkable man, and enjoys
a greater imputation, as a thinker and scnol
ar, thau most of his countrymen, at home or
abroad. He is now in the maturity of his pow
ers, being about forty-nine or fifty years of
age, and has improved his natural and search
ing intellect by comprehensive and varied ob
servations of men, manners and things.
The Padre was at one time a lawyer prac
tising in Granada, we believe, and enjoyed a
very great prestige as an accomplished jurist
and a skilful speaker, being almost as effective
in court as in chambers, in pleading as in ad
vice. He became connected with some of the
political movements which agitated Central
America periodically, and had to choose be
tween exile and death as the penalty of his
patriotism, or his rashness, or his ambition,
or whatever it may t e called. Accordingly he
had to leave Central America, and was refused
the privilege of returning in the character of
a lawyer, or a soldier, or a politician. Only
one role remained which he could play with
any adequate chance of success, and iu
time he resolved to perform it, and re-appear
in his native country under the protection of
the Church, and in the surplice and stole of
the priest. A priest might act as lawyer
when occasion required, but it is somewhat
novel to find a lawyer with sufficient hardi
hood to become a priest.
In his new capacity the Padre won many
friends and rapidly rose to distinction in the
ecclesiastical world, securing universal respect
by his charity, his talents and his unquestion
able virtues. In diplomacy he soon distin
guished himself as much as in theology, and
we see the practical result of his sagacity and
energy in the recent appointment which he had
received from the revolutionary government
of Nicaragua. Personally the Padre is a very
accomplished individual, with a splendid phys
ical as well as mental organization. He is
said to be one of the handsomest men in Ni
caragua. With his fine well-balanced head,
his stately bearing, his polished manners, his
insinuating eloquence, he is likely to overtop
by a head (if we may use the significant
phrase of Homer) all the diplomatists, foreign
and domestic, assembled at Washington.
Diplomatic Difficulty.
It is no doubt true, as we see stated, that
Mr. Orampton’s letter, detailing the substance
of alleged conversations with Mr. Clayton,
about the right of England to Ruatan and the
adjacent islands, was written to sustain
Lord Palmerston on the American ques
tion, against the strong Parliamentary oppo
sition with which he was threatened. Mr.
Crampton’s letter was well calculated to have
that effect, and calculated to appease un indig
nation that was fast acquiring a formidable
nature throughout England.
The interests of the commercial and manu
facturing classes of England would be serious
ly jeoparded by a conflict between the two
countries—and it would be equally disastrous
to our own. But the people of Eugland, or at
least a large and influential portion of them,
were averse to hostile relations, and consider
ed that their Government acted wrong iu the
enlistment difficulty, and were disposed to
consider their Government partially wrong in
its construction of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
But Mr. Crampton’s letter removed that opin
ion, and they were measurably compelled to
sustain the English construction of the treaty,
when they were assured that Mr. Clayton him
selt admitted that theirconstruction was right.
Short as Mr. Crampton’s letter is, it was an
unfortunate one for this country. Jf it con
tained truth, Mr. Crumpton has been faithless,
which we do not believe—if it conveyed a
lalsehood, it is enough of itself, consideringits
important influence at the present time, and its
effect in the future, to have caused an imme
diate suspension of Mr. Crampton’s diplomatic
relation to this country, even though there
were no other considerations which should
have reduced it.
The position of Mr. Crampton is an anoma
lous one. Incarrying out the presumed orders
of his government, he violated our neutrality
laws, and disgraced his ministerial character;
and in making talse reports to his government,
about conversations held with public function
aries of our country, he has impugned his
personal character for veracity and honor.
Such a man should not be retained as the
accredited minister of England, and in in
tercourse with our government.— Aug. Const.
Target Firing—Oglethorpe Infantry.
The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 20th
inst. says: This company celebrated their an
niversary, on Saturday last, at a rural retreat
some few miles from the city. It is, perhaps,
unnecessary to say, that the article’s usually
found on “ both sides” of a bill of fare, were
in abundance, and that the company fared
sumptuously.
The target shooting was quite exciting, as
there were a number of “crack shots” to con
tend for the prizes.
Private Benj. Simmons won the Company’s
prize—A Silver Cup, inlaid with gold: three
shots, averaging 2 10-16 inches.
1 rivate George W. Piet ce, the Company’s
Gold Medal: three shots, 3 9-16 inches.
Private Robert Walton, the first prize pre
sented by the honorary members—A Silver
Goblet—three shots, 2*6-16 inches.
Corporal A. Force, the 2d prize presented
by the honorary members—A Silver Water
Dipper—average shots 4 14-10 inches.
Private Chas. MeKinne. the 3d prize of the
honorary members—A Silver Butter Tub— !
average shots 0 13-10 inches.
Honorary member Col. Wtu. Davis, won the
first prize presented by the Company— A beau- |
tilul Silver Goblet, inlaid with gold—average
three shots 4 14-16 inches.
Honorary member Moore, (for Mrs. C. Mc-
Ivinne) won the second prize of the Company
—A Silver Cup—average 5 7-16 inches,
The Commission officers’ prize was won by
Capt. E. Starnes, of the Oglethorpe Infantry
A Silver Goblet and Salver—average shots
5J inches.
The shooting was with muskets, off hand, at
a distance of sixty yards. I
