COLTJMJ^TTS: 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 early last Friday evening and has (Saturday) already risen 5 or,Gfeet. Plenty of water now for a “74.” —Selma Reporter. 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, amid the cheers of the Freesoilers present Music by Steam. Some time since wo gave an account of the invention, by a Worcester gentleman, of an instrument which plays numerous national airs by steam power. A joint stock company has now been formed for the manufacture of the instruments, and is called the “Steam Music Company. Relics of Sir John Franklin. A package of relics of Sir John Franklin’s Arctic Expedition has been received in New \ ork from the Hudson’s Bay House, at La chine, and shipped for London. The relics are those already referred to in the public prints as having been recovered from the Esquimaux, Clemency of Little Vic. To celebrate the Peace, Queen Victoria has granted amnesty to all political offenders; consequently. Smith O’Brien, Frost, Jones and others, may 7 return home. Special excep tion, however, is made against John Mitchel, T. Francis Meagher, and all others who es caped to the United States. Spring Chickens.
