Tut'Mlny Morning, May ‘-tl, |Hsli.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
The Oreat Washing Machine.
We art* requested to state that the public
exhibition of this unrivaled machine will
come olf thin afternoon, at the Perry House,
inroad of the Post Office Corner, as hereto
fore advertised.
Two Negroes Drowned.
We learn that a negro man, property of
Capt. Jacob Barrow, was drowned on Friday
night last, by walking overboad one of the
river boats. It seems that the deceased was
intoxicated, and in the early part of the even
ing walked overboad, and was rescued. On
his second plunge, however, the boat hands
were unable to find him. We also learn that
a negro man was picked up on Saturday last,
near the Magnolia Islnnd (Georgia side) for
for whom no owner has appeared. He was
perfectly nude when discovered, and is sup
posed had gone into the river to bathe, and
from some cause, at present unknown, never
regained the shore
The Telegraph brings news which seems
credible enough, of a fight between the rebels
in Kansas, and the authorities of the govern
ment, resulting in the defeat of the former,
and with small loss of life—other reports say
that large numbers were killed on both sides.
We await with much interest, fullor particu
lars of the fray, and of the reception of the
news by Black Republicanism. Persons who
have never heard “Rome howl” and are cu
rious, may consult the next number of the New
York Independent, or read the Tribune’s re
port of Theodore Parker’s next Sunday’s ser
mon.
Choir-Binging and Church Pews.
Bishop Pierce, of the Georgia Conference,
has set his face very determinately against
Choirs leading the Church Music, and against
rented pews, in Methodist Churches, both of
which new movements aro being agitated in
somo sections and are finding favor. Dr. Gar
vin, of Augusta, replies to the Bisbop in the
last Christian Advocate tnking the otlior side.
Upon both these questions we Lave long bad
clearly defined and established opinions, but
wo don’t know that it is any business of ours
to exptess them, or that any body cares to
hear them, particularly as they are extremely
Fogyisb.
Judge Collamer has reported a bill in the
United States Senate, providing Mr. Richard
son with the means for testing the utility and
practicability of his Atmospheric Telegraph,
n working model of which, some forty feet
long, is still on exhibition in the Rotunda of
the Capitol. Mr. R.’s claims are opposou,
however, by Mr. Luther Bell, also of Massa
chusetts, who has entered protest, auddeclares
himself the bona fide inventor of the new tole
graph.
His protost was duly referred to the Senate
Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads;
and their action in reporting the above men
tioned bill, is construed as adverse to the
claims of Mr. Bell.
“We aro pleased to learn,” says the Apa
lachicola Advertiser, “ that arrangements arc
now fully completed for the construction of a
Telegraph from Columbus, Ga., via Enfaula,
Ala., and Marianna, Fla., to this place. The
requisite subscriptions have been made, and
stock taken in the cities above named, as also
in this place ; and said line is to be completed
by or before January next. The contractor,
E. 11, Musgrove, Esq., is a man of enterprise
and zeal, and we feel assnred the expectations
reposed in him will he fully realized, and the
line completed by the time stipulated.”
A correspondent of the Greenville Patriot
says, tlmt Governor Adams of South Carolina,
says that nothing could induce him to accept
u second term of office. He is particularly
annoyed with petitions for executive clemency
which duty compels him to refuse. Our Geor
gia Governors, either front a sense of duty, or
the fun of the thing, seldom object to a second
term. Perhaps the Carolina Governors nre
kept two closely confined. By the laws of
that State they cannot leave its soil while
holding their office. This seems hard . but it
has at least one advantage. They 7 cannot get
oil’ to Washington, aud have false reports
started about their •* Wild Hunt. - ’
Fremont a Native of Savannah.
The Mew York Evening Post hns a “Sketch
of the Life of John Charles Fremont,” in which
is rueutioned the fact that Col. Fremont was
born in Savannah during a temporary halt ol
his parents while on n trave ing tour, 21st
January, 1818.
We learn from the Constitutionalist that
Hons. Alfred 11. Colquitt, Marshall J. Well
born, and W. Hope Hull and I. T. Irwin,
Esqrs . delegates to the Democratic National
Convention, passed through Augusta, Satur
day night, cn their way to Cincinnati.
Shingle Machines.
Tho Montgomery Journal notices two of
these machines on exhibition in that city last
week, one worked by hand, and one by steam.
The former threw out 60 per minute, and the
latter 76. Both machines were nliko in con
struction.
Senor Vnlienetc, a distinguished Cuban ex
ile, is at Washington, for the purpose, it is
said, of communicating to our government
some important information touching the de
signs of England on Cuba.
The slice of Mexico for which Gen. Gads
den is said to have negotiated, is described as
of small eite: and is to bo purchased in order
to a water front, aud site for a naval depot, on
the Gulf of California.
Among the late arrivals at one of the St.
Louie hotels, is one that reads—“E. Smith
and fowl* wives, Salt Lnke.”
The South Western Baptist states that Dr.
Miller, near Enon, Alabama, had squares on
bis ootton as early as the Bth of May.
Brooka and Sumner.
The recent affray between Mr. Brooks, of
South Carolina, and Mr. Sunnier, of Massa
| chusetts, or rather the former’# assault upon
j the latter, for there was no betweenity in the
’ matter, is eliciting much comment from the
| press; much talk in private circles: Senate
and House commissions to investigate ; great
stir in the Legislature of Massachusetts; and
a “binding over” of Mr. Brooks to answer be
fore the Courts. There are several features
in the affair which we regret. Mr. Sumner,
unless we are misinformed, is well on in years,
and not capable of making much fight—wen re
sorry he was not a younger man. Mr. Brooks
belabored him with a walking cane—this is
a great pity, lor while it was rather too severe
an application, it will, among the unthinking,
throw doubts upon Mr. It’s, courage and chiv
alry ; tl.e application was too severe also, in
quantity as well as quality, and this we re
gret. But 2>er contra, the intense provocation
is to be considered. What is to be done with
a man, be he old or young, who refuses to ac
knowledge auy such thing as personal respon
sibility ? Who takes advantage of his age, and
liis Senatorial privileges to malign, distort,
slander, and villify ? Who, though gently cor
rected the first day, and righteously rebuked
the second, continues to sin on the third? Who
is a a furious opponent of the
Constitution of his country, and the rights of
his follow men ? Who knows no compromise,
no stopping placo ; and would to-morrow gloat
over ruined Southern liomee, and a Southern
reign of terror, rather than fail in bis darling
project ? A man too, be it remembered, learn
ed, able, and accomplished—who can plead no
ignorance in his justification, nor indeed plead
anything unless it be the frailty of human na
ture by virtue of which he is what he is.
We attach very great importance to this af
fair, and all similar ones. They are not petty
affrays between man and man, but, between
North and South. Tt is impossible that they
continue to recur without rapidly precipitat
ing a much greater struggle, to which North
and South will be the parties. And to say
truly, wo see no escape from this issue at an
early day. The South has acted on the defen
sive now for many years. Her enemies have
been reasoned with, but without avail. They
seem to grow more fierce in proportion to our
own mildness.
Well—there must be a time when argument
shall be exhausted. That time seems near at
hand. For ourselves we confess a sublime
weariness of argument. We have argued and
argued; reasoned, and entreated; appealed
to justice, to patriotism, to common sense.—■
But it all does no good. Are we forever to
pursue this policy? We hope not. Bitterly as
we would deplore a dissolution of this Union,
we would welcome it to-morrow, as a happv
exchange for a life of perpetual feud and in
sult, of ceaseless agitation, of anxious sus
pense. Thero must be a change and that right
speedily. The slavery question must be set
tled; and if argument avail nothing, patriot
ism nothing, the Constitution nothing, let the
strong arm give us either a peaceful tran
quility or an honorable grave. There is a God
of Battles as well as a God of Peace, and, to
Him we may in the last resort, confidently ap
peal.
Aye! iu the last resort. But the last resort
has not yet come. There can be a peaceful
dissolution of this Union. Cotton and Com
merce are allied Kings. If the North will
not stay with us let the Kings settle the ques
tion.
We annex another specimen of Mr. Sum
ner’s speech, that portion having reference to
Senator Butler of S. C., than whom, as a cour
teous gentlemeu and true patriot, no Senator
stands higher:
But before entering upon the argument, l
must say something in response to what lias
fallen from Senators who have raised them
selves to eminence upon this floor in champion
ship of human wrongs. I mean the Senator
from South Carolina, (Mr. Butler,) and the
Senator from Illinois, (Mr. Douglass,) who,
though unlike as Don Quixote and Suucho
Ranza, yet, like this couple, rally forth togeth
er in the same cause. The Senator from South
Carolina believes himself a chivalrous knight,
with sentiments of honor and courage. He
has chosen a mistress, who, though ugly to
others, is always lovely to hint—though pollu
ted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his
sight. I mean the harlot slavery. For her
his tongue is always profuse in words. Let
her be impeached in character, or any propo
sition made to shut her out from the extension
ot her wantonness, and no extravagance of
manner or hardihood of assertion is then too
great for this Senator. If slavery cannot have
lull power in the National Territories—power
to compel fellow-men to unpaid toil, to sepa
rate husband and wife, to sell little children
it the auction block—then. Sir, this chivalric
Senator will conduct the State of South Caro
lina out of the Union. Heroic knight! Ex
ilted Senator! A second Moses come for a
second exodus ! This Senator ealls the oppo
nents of slave extension “ sectional ” aud
“fanatical.” The men who strive to bring
back the Government to its original policy,
when freedom, not slavery, was national, he
irraigns as “sectional.” 1 affirm that the
Republican Party of the Union is in no just
*euso sectional, but more than any other par
ty, national: and that it goes forth to dis
lodge from the high places of the government,
the tyranical sectionalism of which the Sena
tor from South Carolina is one of the mnd
dcst zealots.
Short Prayers—Services Limited.
A morniug prayer-meeting is daily held by
tho “orthordox” of Cincinnati, in Dr. Fisber’s
Presbyteriau Church, which is regularly crowd
ed. Tho exercises arc limited to forty min
utes—and long prayers are prohibited. The
Clergy are too often forgetful, we say it respect
fully nnd deferentially, that men nre not heard
of Heaven because of their “much speaking”
—and that their Lord and Master express
ly forbade long prayers.
An exchange paper says that a mine has
recently been discovered in Montgomery coun
ty. Ga., with pains of thirteen different colors
or shades
It is said that Sauta Anna is living in great
style at Tabaco, four miles from Carthagena,
In New Granada, South America. He is esti
mated to be worth $4,000,000.
Preacher’s Salaries.
Among other items in the reported proceed
ing-of the Old School Presbyterian General
Assembly, (in session last week at Philadel
phia) we notice the following:
A resolution was offered stating that by
reason of the diminished value of money and
the increased price of all the necessities ol
life, or nearly all, the salaries ol ministers
have become distressingly and alarmingly in
adequate : and that a committee be appointed
to report on the subject and present the draft
of n letter to be addressed to the churches.
Death of Mrs. Bibb.
We regret to learn from the Cahaba (Ala.)
Gazette, of the death of Mrs. Mary Ann Bibb,
widow of the late Hon. Wm. AV. Bibb, first
Governor of Alabama. The Gazette says :
Mi s. Bibb departed this life, at herresidence
in this county, on the 29th April, in the 69th
year of her age. She was a native of Geor
gia, aud her maidenname wasl’reeman. Gov.
Gilmer, in his sketch of Gov. Bibb, says : “He
married Miss Mary Freeman, only daughter
of Col. Holman Freeman, then the beauty of
Broad River.’
In yesterday’s Sun, we published a brief
telegraphic account of a New Orleans duel. It
may be well to mention, as illustrative of the
respective powers of the telegraph and the
mail, that we took the dispatch from a New
York paper! Yesterday at noon, we received
by mail the following from the N. O. Picay
une :
“A fatal duel took place yesterday morniug
at Pass Christian, Miss., between Mr. Robert
W. Estlin and Charles Cuddy, both merchants
of large business iu this city. Os the causes
of this difficulty wc are uuapprized, but we
learn that Mr. Cuddy was the challenger.—
They fought with poistols. On the 3econdfire,
Mr. Cuddy was shot in the region of the groin,
severing the femoral artery, and died in a few
minutes. Mr. Estlin, we are informed, was
aJso hurt, but not seriously.”
.Resigned and Removed.
The Tuscaloosa Monitor says that the Hon.
Thomas B. Bethea, Senator from Mobile coun
ty, in tho last Legislature, has resigned ; and
has lately removed to Montgomery, where,
having purchased the fine mansion of P. S.
Gerald, Esq., he intends making that place
his residence. Col. Bethea had a. few months
previously, bought a large estate of land and
negroes near Montgomery, at the sum of one
hundred thousand dollars.
The Norfolk Herald states that there was a
rumor current in that city last Monday, to the
effect that orders had been received at the Na
vy Yard, Gosport, to get the Steamer Powhatan,
Frigate Columbia, and sloops of war Marion
and Dale, ready for sea.
A company of Kansas emigrants is being
formed at Holly Springs, Miss. They will
leave there with $15,000 to defray expenses
and assist in settling them in their new homes.
The New York Express states that Mr. Fill
more is expected home in June, and is proba
bly now in England on his return from Rus
sia.
Decimal Currency.
At a meeting of the American Geographical
Society, in New York last week, Mr. Russell
read a letter from Mr. Crampton, the English
Ambassador, thanking the society for their of
fer to furnish to her Britanic Majesty’s lega
tion the information which they required con
cerning the theory and operations of a decim
al currency—a subject which the British Go
vernment have at the present time under their
anxious consideration. Mr. Crampton, in
the name of liis government, enclosed in his
communication a long list of queries, to which
he requested answers from the society, to be
forwarded to England. Mr. Crompton's letter
was referred to the Committee on Decimal
Currency, Weights and Measures. The que
ries of the British Government have reference
at the present time oidy to currency, and not
to weights and measures.
Dallas Circuit Court.
The jury in the case of the State vs the slave
from Wilcox, charged with a rape, failing to
agree, were discharged. The negro who kill
ed Mr. Tait’s overseer has been found guilty
of murder, and is to be executed. The negro
.Tosh, who killed a slave belonging to Colonel
Blake, was found guilty of manslaughter, and
received one hundred lashes.
The grand jury brought in a bill against the
slave Pleas, for arson. The case was contin
ued by the Judge, as he is connected by mar
riage. with the owner of the slave. The cases
against the negro women who were convicted
of perjury by magistrates afew weeks since,
and which were taken up to the Circuit Court,
were continued for the same reasons. Two
bills, we are informed, were brought against
Pleas for robbing Mr. Kleper nearly three
years ago—one for burglary, and the other for
robbery. —Cahaba (Ala ) Gaz. 23 d.
Georgia in the Cincinnati Convention.
We have it from tho highest authority that
neither the Hon. Howell Cobb, Hon. A. H.
Stepheus, nor tho lion. R Toombs will accept
the nomination of tho Vice Presidency, if ten
dered to them. We have it also, from the
stuno authority, that the probabilities at Wash
ington are in favor of the nomination of Hon
Stephen A. Douglass, for the Presidency, ow
ing to the feud existing between the respective
friends of Pierce and Buchanan, from which
Douglass and his friends have kept entirely
aloot. In this event Georgia will probably be
honored with a place on the Presidential Tick
et, in the person of liis Excellency, Governor
Johnson, who, it is understood, will accept
the nomination for tho Vice Presideny, if the
party so wish it.
If however the Cincinnati Convention should
not unite upon either of three most prominent
candidates now in the field for the Presidency
there is a chance for the Hon. Howell Cobb to
be nominated for that office, in which case the
candidate for ttie Vice Presidency must come
from another state. A few days will decide
whether these opinions of well informed poli
ticians at Washington are worth the trouble
of recording —Maeon Citizm 24th.
The Crops.
ihe unprecedented heavy rains in this part
of the country have nearly ruined the crops
both ot corn and cotton. The cut worm also
has attacked the young cotton and ruined the
crop on whole plantations. One very larce
planter speaking to us a few days since about
it remarked that out of five hundred acres
planted, jc had been forced by the ravages of
of ttu worm to plough up over three hundred
acres. This of course has to bo replanted .and
it will be nearly the first of June before the
cotton gets above the ground, and the back
wardness of the plant will cut off the yield
more than a third— Eutaic (Ala.) Whig 22d.
TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.
Later from Kansas-— Two Men Shot—Re
ported Battle—Threatened Destruction ;
of a Hotel.
St. Louis, May 24.— Advices from West
port, to the 20th inst., state that as two men,
named Cosgrove and Brannan, were on their
way to Treamton, they were fired upon by a
party of Free Statemen. Brannan was wound
ed, but Cosgrove fired and shot the leader of
the attacking party through the head.
People are leaving Lawrence in great num
bers, and the towns of Kickapoo, Leavenworth,
Doniphan and Atchison were almost deserted,
the grown male inhabitants having gone to the
assistance of United States Marshal Donelson.
It was reported at Jefferson that agreat bat
tle had been fought atLawrence, and that num
bers were killed on both sides. No particulars
of the battle were given.
The hotel at Kansas City was threatened
witu destruction. It is the property of Mas
sachusetts men. So certain was its destruc
tion considered, that the families occupying it
moved out.
A reward has been offered for the head of
Gen. Pomeroy, and numbers of men were
searching for him.
Public Meetings called to Consider the
Sumner Affair.
New Yobk, May 24.—A meeting of citizens
was held in this citylastnight, which denounc
ed the assault upon Senator Sumner, and de
manded the expulsion of his assailant from
Congress.
Boston, May 24—The citizens held a meet
ing last evening, and denounced the attack
upon Sumner.
Sharp Retort.
The following story is told in Washington
of Douglas and Buchanan. Douglas was sit
ting in a private parlor at Guy’s National Ho
tel the other night, talking with a dozen of
Buchanan’s friends, when the latter, having
been sent for, came in and joined the party.
“My young friend,” said Buchanan, soon af
terwards, turning patronizingly to Douglas,
“ let me give you a little advice.” “ Thank
you!” instantly retorted Douglas, seizing him
by the band ; “I expect to choose my constitu
tional advisers soon, and am most happy thus
to receive your acceptance in advance-” “Old
Buck ” was so confused by this turn in the
conversation that he forgot the proffered ad
vice altogether.
Fatal Affray.
A difficuley occurred in Cahaba on last Fri
day evening, in which John 11. Bell and his
two sons, John A. and Charles, and Drs. Troy
and Hunter and Judge Bird were engaged.—
John 11. and John A. Bell were both instantly
killed by Judge Bird and Dr. Hunter; Dr.
Troy was slightly injured on the arm by a
stick in the hands of John A. Bell. A legal
investigation was had on Saturday, but up to
going to press, we had not heard the decision
of the Court.
Our river is getting “up stairs” again—the
stairs of our Central Depot. It began to rise

Tribute to Washington from Greece.
A fine block of marble has been received
from the land of Demosthenes, to be placed
in the Monument to Washington, bearing the
following inscription:
“To George Washington, the illustrious
General, the Presidont, the citizen, who guard
ed new found liberty by law.”
“ The land of Solon, of Themistocles, and
of Pericles, the mother of ancient stone as a
pledge of her esteem and admiration.”
The stone was taken from the ruins of the
Parthenon.
Louis Napoleon and the English Press.
Since the cessation of hostilities a much
less friendly tone pervades the English press
towards Louis Napoleon; his acts are criticis
ed with more asperity; and the recent speech
of Count Walewski made at the conference, the
burden of which was to silence the Press of
Belgium, in order to please his Imperial maj
esty, has been resented in strong editorial ar
ticles.
The Nicaragua Minister.
A dispatch from Washington, says: “All the
Foreign Legations have determined not to re
cognise Padre Vijil, socially or officially.—
Senor Marcoletta now asserts his claim to the
British Mission from Nicaragua, on the faith
of a former commission from the deposed gov
ernment, and it is believed that he will be re
cognised. His protest addressed to tho differ
ent legations is not yet completed.”
The Enterprise of the London Press.
It appears that the advance copy 7 of the
treaty of peace which eventually appeared in
the London Daily News, was hawked about
among the London press, but not one of those
“ enterprising” papers would pay for it the
price demanded—about S2OO.
Forrest, the Tragedian.
It is said that Mr Forrest, the tragedian,
has determined to visit and play an engage
ment in every theatre in the United States and
Canada, after which will follow a dozen or two
nights in New Y'ovk, Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, for friends, when he will retire to
private life.
Overstepping Duty.
The Lecompton, Kansas, Union contains ex
tracts of inflammatory speeches made by
Messrs. Howard and Sherman, merfbers of the
Congress Investigating committee, in support
of Ex-Governor Reeder, warning the Marshal
not to arrest him at his peril. Mr. Oliver, of
Missouri, the Southern member of the com
mittee, endeavorod to dissuade them from such
a dangerous proceeding, but they persisted,

Music by Steam.
Some time since wo gave an account of the
invention, by a Worcester gentleman, of an

Company.
Relics of Sir John Franklin.
A package of relics of Sir John Franklin’s
