LARGEST CITV CIRCULATIOS.
New Washing Machine.
We wero present yesterday, at a partial ex
hihitiou of one of the above machines, and
were favorably impressed. V, e abide, how
ever the public exhibition —on Tuesday after
noon, at the Post Office Corner—before ex
pressing a decided opinion. Parties wishing
to purchase rights, for counties or the State,
would do well to bo present on Teusday and
see for themselves.
City Court.
This Court has adjourned over to the 3rd
Monday in August, its regular term.
The last case tried, and which we have not
previously reported, was that of the State vs.
John Cavanaugh, for alleged beating, whip
ping and ill treating Martha Noah, a free per
son of color. J. A. Fox, Solicitor General,
for the State A. McDougafil for Defendant.
The Jury were “ huug” for several hours on
the case, but finally returned a verdict of j
Guilty, and the Court imposed a tine of s2i>
and costs. It seems from the testimony, that
Martha is a restorer of soiled linen to its ori
ginal purity; and while acting in that capa
city, did covet and appropriate, as is alleged,
a breast pin owned by Defendant, to recover j
which, active measurs were Instituted.
The Columbus Sun.
This most excellent daily, the absence of
which no other paper can supply, failed, for
the first time, to come to us by this morning's
mail.— Bainbridge Argus.
Upon reference to our mail books we caunot
find that the Sun has ever been sent to the
Argus at all. We can only therefore, suppose,
that it just went of itself. However, we book
the Argus to-day, for an exchange, and will
endeavor to be always on hand But if the
new arrangement should not work so well as
the old one, we can erase the uameof our con
temporary, and let the Sun paddle its own
canoe, as heretofore. The Argus is mighty
sweet on us, above, and wc thank ’em. But
strange to say, the Bainbridge folks do man
age to get on without us, and are supplied
from other sources. This is the fact at pres
ent, but we hope the Argus will “rectify.”
The residence of Dr. A. A. Lipscomb, on
Perry street, Montgomery, was burned to the
ground on Wednesday night. The Mail says :
The house was unoccupied and was unques
tionably fired—a gentlemen living opposite
having seeu two persons slipping oflfjust after
the alarm was given. Dr. Lipscomb has suf
fered heavily by the fire, and there is general
regret for his loss in the present case. Wc
hope his house was insured, but do not know.
Counterfeit Bills.
We were shown yesterday, says the Charles
ton Courier of Thursday, a well executed
counterfeit $lO bill of the Bank of George
town. There are many in circulation, but
they may be detected by the dimness of tho
vignettes.
We learn from the Bainbridge Augus that
Honorable A. H. Colquitt, Commissioner of
the Atlantic and Gulf Road for Baker county,
was present at a Railread meeting, held in
Newton on Monday last, But up to Wednes
day evening no subscriptions to the enterprise
had been obtained.
Georgia Military Institute.
At the next Commencement of this Institu
tion, July 15th, Col. A. R. Lawton, of Savan
nah, will deliver the annual address before the
Literary Societies ; and Hon. Wm. T. Gould,
of Augusta, the address to the Graduating
Class.
The American party of Illinois have held a
State Convention at Springfield, ratified the
nomination of Fillmore and Donelson, and
nominated a ticket for State officers.
Our readers are referred to our telegraphic
head for several items of important news.
The account there given of Lord Clarendon’s
views of the enlistment difficulty certainly
does not mend the matter. Instead of a frank
and full admission that the enlistment of re
cruits was a violation of our laws; and instead
of an ample apology for it, and prompt indem
nity, by recall at least, of all engaged in it, we
have a simple disclaimer of any “intention”
to do wrong, and an evasion of the distinct
question of recall, with the hope, we suppose,
that the United States will recede from Im
position. If this be England’s ultimatum,
there must either be war, or we must acknowl
edge to the world that we have suffered our
laws to be broken, and ourselves bullied out
of the shadow of reparation. The gravity of
the offence, and the exceeding small atonement
demanded, deserve attentive consideration.—
We, in demanding Mr. Crampton’s recall, con
tend for the rights of nations; England, in
refusing to accede, if she do finally refuse,
contends for a mere point of pride. We need
hardly say upon whom will rest the responsi
bility of so great a calamity as war, should
such be the end of the dispute.
From Kansas, we also have exciting news.
But we sincerely trust that the rebels there,
may take a sober second thought, and lay
down their arms. The news however, gives
us no warrant for Buch a hope, and we are
apprehensive of much trouble ahead.
Escape of Jam os Foster.
This notorious negro and horse thief, who
was arrested near this place some time since,
succeeded in escaping from Mr. C. A. Eager
ton, between Starkville and Ainericus on
Tuesday the 13eh instant.. Mr, Eagerton had
been deputised, by the Sheriff of this county,
to convey said Foster to Oglethorpe, where a
reward of $l5O, had been offered for his ar
rest.— Baiubridge Argus.
Taken in the Toils of the Telegraph.
There is a rumor in town, to-day, says the
Montgomery Mail, of the 20th iust., that C.
8. Cram, who ran away with thirteen or four
teen thousand dollars of his creditor’s money,
a few days since, has been “brought up short”
in New Orleans—Gus McGiboney, (who al
ways stumbles in the way of such cattle,)
having made a successful swoop at him, in the
Crescent City. We only hope the rumor may
prove true.
Post Mortems, Etc.
Tin’ Isis’ Dr. John C. Warren, ail i*iiiiiu*iit
phvsician of Boston, nephew to tho celebrated
Gen. W’airen of immortal memory, loft ape
reuiplory will, giving his body to the surgeon
and physicians, for dissection and examination
The will provided for proper funeral ooremo
nies. alter which the body waste bodisseeted;
thou tbe bones were to be denuded ol their i
tlesh. and macerated ; and finally the action
luted skeleton was to be deposited in tho t'ol- I
lege id which Dr. \\., was lot many years a
bright ornament Doctor Warren had several
physical peculiarities, which he suffered to
I remain, looking forward to bis death, and the .
time when an examination would bo made ot
■ them ; and possibly, some new facts in modi- ,
eal science he revealed. We learn that the
will of the deceased will be strictly complied
with, and that an examination of the body has
already been made, without eliciting, how
ever, mir hitherto uuknowu tacts. The eir
euinstances above alluded to, coupled with the
announcement, published by us yesterday, id’
1 trouble in the Atlanta Medical College growing
out of tbe College's efforts to procure subjects
j for dissection, suggest to us, again to call at
tention, as we have often done, in past days,
to the wrong ideas which generally prevail in
regard to the dead, post-mortems, &c., and
the laws which obtain on these subjects. The
practical part of the question seems to us so
exceedingly plain, it needs only to be stated.
W’e run over the points, and come to our con
clusions, as follows: Perhaps there is no
class of men to whom the world is more in
debted than physicians ; our friends in sorest
distress; guardians of our highest earthly inter
ests; confidants in the most sacred matters—
matters that wc entrust to no other human car,
the physician certainly deserves all the kind
ness and all the aid which we would accord to
any other class of men. Moreover lie makes
great and many sacrifices; he is at the public
beck and call, uight and day: and ohiefest
and noblest of all, he is a dispenser on a large
scale, of charity; charity that is greater than
faith or hope, noblest ami diviuest of all hu
man attributes. We have lived now in this
world these many years, and never have
we known, one single case of a refusal of
medicine or medical attention, because of the
poverty of the patient.
How does Society and the Law treat this
man—this benefactor of the human race—this
kind friend who attends us from the cradle to
the grave, smiling over the one ; sighing, be
cause of the weakness of human skill, over
the other. We treat him as we treat some im
pieus wretch who desecrates sanes and des
poils graves. The law treats him as it would
treat an outlaw. In proof of which, we sub
mit these facts, viz: Society demands of every
medical practitioner, skill : that skill can on
ly be acquired by industrious research and la
borious investigation among the shells, the
poor, worn out, elsewise useless shells, that
we call ourselves ; but which are only shells,
mere envelopes, as unimportant, after we have
left them, as the shed skin of the serpent, or
the abandoned house of the snail, the cocoon
of the silk-worm, or the husk of the locust.
Here, and here only, can that skill be acquired,
which is absolutely demanded. Yet let a phy
sician or a medical student be “ caught in the
act” of “robbing”—it is absolutely stigma
tized as “ robbing ” —a grave, and a whole
town flies to arms and is ready to mob, lynch,
forever exterminate the odious robber. But
we say, “ let the dead bury the dead,” and
the living, minister to the living, drawing their
supplies from the dead or living.
Now for tho law. The law, (in Georgia)
makes the “ robbing ” of a grave a very se
rious offence. If this were all, the stupidity
and sheer nonsense of the law, would only
make it laughable. But this is not all. The
law is inconsistent and unjust. While making
it penal to acquire medical knowledge, in the
only way that such knowledge can possibly be
acquired, it nevertheless demands that physi
cians and surgeons shall posses that know
ledge I It absolutely punishes the want of
skill, at the same time that it forbids, (if fear
of punishment can forbid a soul thirsty for
knowledge, and elevated by love for its kind)
the acquisition of that skill. To illustrate.
We take a ride in a buggy. Tho horse be
comes restive, and kicks, as Gen. Bcthune’s
horse lately kicked. The kicking so seriously
involves one of our legs, that we are compelled
to call in a surgeon. “ Doctor,” say we to
him, “ what say you ? Amputate or not am
putate?” He studies a while, and at length
says “Amputate!” Thereupon his knives
gleam, the leg falls, and we are shorn of our
due proportions. After awhile we begin to miss
our leg. We are sorry that we allowed it to
walk off. We find out, or think we find out,
that the Doctor was in error. We grow vex
ed. We resolve to prosecute. We do prose
cute: aud if we can show a want of skill, or
that tho irrecoverable leg might have been
saved, we can mulct that Doctor in damages
to the amount, of six, eight, ten, fifteen thou
sand dollars, according to the Jury’s ap
praisement of the value of a leg. Now wc
ask in the name of common sense and justice,
if this be fair ? Evidently one of these two
laws should be abolished. Either the physi -
cian should not ho liable for want of skill, or
should not be liable for acquisition of skill.
Again—Doctors are the only men liable in
damages, for want of skill. Squire Wrangle
loses our case through ignorance of law, or
it may be, through an ambiguous, a doubtful
ly honest course of proceedure. We cannot
“recover” of him nor mulct him for want of
skill. Parson Schism, ambitious to found a
church of his own, weaves his sophistries into
a web boautiful, and seemingly “all right.”
We drop into it and are betrayed. But sup
pose wc were to indict the said Parson for put
ting us on the wrong road to Paradise ! We
would bo laughed out of Court, and the
Judge, unless previously insured, would proli
ably split his sides. Mr. Tapestring sells ns
a S3O coat, believing it to be worth that money.
Perry’s “ John” (Hotel John) bushes the nap
off in two weeks, and demonstrates the coat I
to be a ten dollar garment. Wc cannot go back
on Mr. T. for S2O error in judgment. Editor
■Scribe,(no wiser than other men —only thought ,
so, 1 predicts a European war. Thu commis
sion merchants write to their customers to sell
quick, aud they <l* sell. Time rolls on, and
I here is no war. Sellers have lost $5 a bale
on account of that Editor'll inisoalciflalioii of
wl.-ii going to be; but nobody can living that
Editor to law forliis wrong leading of the fu
tore. But Dr. t’hiropod takes from us a tooth
i or a toe-nail: and It wo can prove that the
one or the other should,uot have linen taken, j
I we can damage Hr. Chiropod for Ilia want of I
j skill !
Now is not this supremely^ridiculous- -ont
-1 lagvensly wrong? At the very least, the law
i should repeal one or other of these conflicting
j act-. t\o say ut the least. But if it would
j do full justice,’ it should abolish the odious !
eiini'tinent, making it a crime to pursue those
investigations which aro sufficiently repulsive
in tlmm elves; and are not pursued \
from m,j want of resfepet to tbe dead, but
from love for
Brunswick vs. Tht) “ Minn Trunk.
The Brunswick Herald says (lmt the Bruns- |
wick and Florida Rail Bond Company have
decided on having nothing to do with the Main 1
Trunk Railway, in its present shape. We |
quote:
“An intimation is given in the President’s |
Report, that whenever the Main Trunk loco- j
motive reaches the line of the Brunswick and
Florida Railroad it will receive a cordial wel
come—but not being dependent on the State
aid for the prosecution of their enterprise,
they decline mixing in the controversy as
to the line of the Main Trunk Road, but will
quietly and unobtrusively prosecute their
work, depending upon tlieir own resources
only.”
We notice in tho Savannah Journal, a letter
from Col. V. R. Lawton, giving the history, to
some extent, of the Main Trunk pill, and the
position held by the friends of Brunswick in
regard to it. Their own bill askiug for State
aid, having been lost in the last Legislature,
the Main Trunk bill was’then gotten up, as a
general compromise measure conciliatory of
all the various interests, and the Brunswiekers
expressed entire satisfaction witli it. Their
new move surprises, but does not alarm us for
two reasons:—lst. We have no assurance that
Brunswick can afford to give up her claim to
State aid: 2ndly. Though she may do s o
and build her Road, we do not. conceive that
the effect upon the Main Trunk would be other
than a change of location. The refusal of the
Brunswick Company to transfer their char
tered rights to the Main Trunk, after all the
pledges given that such transfer should be
made, is an act of bad faith, which wc do not
believe any Georgia Legislature would sanc
tion. The friends of the Main Trunk then,
should still continue their exertions, and may
confidently hope to have them rewarded next
session by a repeal of that portion of the char
ter which made State aid contingent on the
transfer above mentioned.
Fool Who ?
Lord Panmure has offered a very pleasing
and plausible explanation of the reasons for
ordering so many troops to Canada. “It has
no reference to the United States,” he tells us.
Oh no! of Course not. There is a commenta
ry from the advertising columns of the Hali
fax (N. S.) Morning Chronicle, which speaks
for itself:—
Commissariat.—The Deputy Commissariat
General will receive sealed Tenders in dupli
cate at this office, until noon, on Tuesday, the
6th of May next, for the undermentioned trans
portation from Halifax to Quebec, viz: 35 tons
muskets; 120 tons ball cartridges; 1 ton
swords.
In a fast vessel, subject to the inspection and
approval of the Senior Naval Officer in port.
A temporary Magazine will be fitted up by the
War Department; the vessel to be in readiness
to receive the above mentioned articles imme
diately after the arrival of the Lady Amherst
Storeship, stated to have sailed from England
on the 7th inst.
The tenders to specify the name and ton
nago of the vessel, and the sum in Sterling
for which the whole service will be performed.
Commissariat, N. S., Halifax, 29th April,
1856.
The Panama Riots.
The Journal of Commerce learns from the
Official correspondene of the Panama Railroad
Company, that the English and the French
Consuls have united with our own in sending
for men-of-war on both sides of the Isthmus
Panama, to protect passengers and property
from any recurrence of outrage on the part of
the inhabitants. Mr. Center, the local Su
perintendent of the Company, writes that
“despatches have been forwarded toGreytown,
and other points, by the American, English
and French Consuls, requesting the immediate
assemblage of a force ; ” and Col. Totten, the
Chief Engineer, corroborating the above, adds
that “ tho French Consul feels ns warmly on
the subject ns any American, although but
one of his countrymen was killed.” We have
the same authority for stating that our Con
sul at Panama has forwarded to Washington
a mass of evidence concerning the late riots,
tending to show’ the deliberate criminalty of
the Panamenos.

2. The jealous man—who spreads his bed

4. The litigious man—who goes to law in

5. The extravagant man—who buys a her

6. The angry man -who learns the opli

The Union on Crampton.
The Washington Union says: “Considering 1
the peculiarities in the position of Mr. Cramp
ton at the present time, we cannot hut, think I
that his continued residence here us lhe min- :
ister of Great Britain, in view of what he lias

tions of the two countries as have the necessa
ry points of discussion regarding cither the
enlistment business or Central America.’’

May 20.—Tho Senate passed to-day, tile
Consular Diplomatic Appropriation Bill.—
Messrs. Cass, .Mason and Douglass denounced
Mr. Sumner’s speech in severe terms, and
characterized it as being destitute of truth.—
The House passed the bill granting upward of
1,000,000 acres of land to Wisconsin in aid of
rail roads.
May 21.—Bills granting lands in aid of the
construction of several railroads in Alabama
passed the House to-day.
The President is considering anew proposi
tion for the settlement of the enlistment ques
tion, which proposition is, however, not likely
to result in an adjustment of the difficulty.
President Pierce has sent fresh orders to the
troops in Kansas, instructing the officers in
command to maintain and enforce the execu
tion of the law at all hazards. News of blood
shed is hourly expected.
Lord Clarendon’s reply to Mr. Marcy’s des
patch, demanding tbe recall of Air. Crampton
is received. It says that if the laws of the
United States had been infringed, America
would be entitled to demand and England would
not have hesitated to offer the most ample
satisfaction; bui her Majesty’s government
unequivocally disclaims any intention either to
infringe the law or disregard the policy and
sovereign rights of the United States. It is
further stated that Mr. Crampton and the
British Consuls in New York, Philadelphia
and Cincinnati, solemnly deny the acts charg
ed against them, and the United States gov
ernment has now the opportunity of weighing
tho declarations of four gentlemen of unim
peachable honor and integrity against evidence
upon which no reliance ought to be placed.—
The document concludes with the expression
of the hope that these explanations may prove
satisfactory, it being the desire of Her Majes
ty’s Government to contiue unbroken tlie rela
tions of friendship with the United States.
The Hughes Printing Telegraph Machine
Finished.
Nf.w York, May 19.—We learn that this
wonderful invention received its finishing
touch, and will be immediately placed upon
the new line between this city* and Philadel
phia. We are assured that the machines so
far as it has been possible to test them through
a coil one hundred miles in length, have real
ized the most sanguine expectation of Mr.
Hughes and his friends; and there appears
no reason to doubt that the invention will
speedily work an entire revolution in tele
graphing throughout the world. This inven
tion may he called a printing press and tele
graph combined, for it pirnts off messages
with unerring correctness, and at an almost
incredible rate of speeed, averaging, from
20,000 to 26,000 letters per hour.
The Hughes instrument clearly demon
strates the practicability of sending and re
ceiving messages in opposite directions over
the same wire and at the same instant of time
and with the utmost ease, regularity, and
certainty. It will consequently require but
one wire and one operator at any given point
to send and receive as much business as can
be transmitted by the aid of four or five ope
rators, and an equal number of wires unper
the Morse system.
Another equally important peculiarity con
nected with the Hughes invention is, tlie fact
that it will work perfectly in all states of the
atmosphere, neither mist, rain, nor snow, hav
ing any perceptible effect upon it. Therefore,
at seasons when the Morse and House instru
ments are powerless, even in circuits of fifty
miles, there is every reason to believe that the
Hughes instruments will work reliably in cir
cuits of one or two thousand miles.
The simplicity and durability of the new
machine will compare favorably with the
Morse, and is vastly superior in these respects
to the House invention. The governing prin
ciple is wholly dissimilar to that of the Morse,
House, and all other telegraph instruments,
and consequently there can he no difficulty on
the score of the patent, which, we understand,
has been sold to the American Telegraph Cotn
j pany—(a new association, having its head
i quarters in this city, hut composed of gentle
men of the highest respectability in different
j sections of the United States, and the British
, provinces, and of which it is sufficient to say
: *hat Peter Cooper, Esq., is the President, and
Wilson (1. Hunt, Esq., Treasurer,) for about
; $125,000 or $150,000.
