COLUMBUS: Wriliirnday Morning, Jlay !48, 1850. I.AIIOKNT CITY CIUCUJiATIONi The Courier (French) Bays a Russian steam squadron now at Cronstadt. was to leave there in May for North America, under command of Admiral Warakowitcsh. lou, of the .Baltimore Hun, says: The admin istration entertain not the least idea, as is said, of the occurrence of any serious difficul ty with England. But, while we may con gratulate the country upon its escape from a foreign war, it cannot he said that we are not in danger of a domestic war, which is tenfold more serious. - - -• The Albany Patriot of the 22J says, “Quite a quantity if rain has fallen since our last is sue. Crops we learn are doing well, with a tine prospect of an abundant yield if the sea sons from this out prove favorable.” ♦ A further decline lias taken place at Wash ington in land warrants; 120’s are quoted at $1 per acre and fiO's and It>o’s at 1.05 per uere Brunswick and Florida Railroad. The friends of this road advertise that meet ings for the purpose of making provision to advance the immediate extension of the Bruns wick and Florida Railroad to the Alapaha, will be held during the session of the Supe rior Courts in the counties of Thomas, Lowndes, Clinch, and Ware. Citizens of ad joining counties are invited to attend Railroad Meeting. We learn from the Thomasvillc papers that meetings for the purpose of making provision to advance the immediate extension of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad to the Alapa ha, will be held during the Hession of the Su perior Courts in tbo Counties of Thomas, Lowndes, Clinch and Ware, at the following places and times: At Thomasvillo on Thurs day, June 6th; at Troupvillc on Thursday, June 19th; at Magnolia on Thursday, June 24th; at Wanesboro on Tuesday, July Ist, Citizens of adjoining counties are respectfully invited to attend. Original Letter from Kansas. Through thu kindness of our friend, Dr. W. B. Bacon, we are enabled to present our read ers this morning with an original, very inter esting ,and able letter from Kansas. As it speaks for itself, we give it without furthei preface, to our readers : Platte City, Mo., May 2, ’66. My Dear Bacon: I wrote you some tim< past in reply to yours, and pcrliapsyou thought it rather a “hot letter,” that is, if you receiv ed it ; but I assure you, after a lapse of sev eral months, and cooling off, ns you might sup pose, I feel religiously satisfied I expressed myself too strongly in not one single word that I now can recollect. I tell you the day ot deadly strife is at hand, and the South lias to submit to social ruin, or to maintain every inch of ground she now holds ; and truly sor ry am I that your physical inability is such as to prevent your taking your natural plnco in tho dillieulties of tho times. I have continued to send you weekly papers from this frontier, which, if received, have given all the material news, and you may rely on the information ountained in such as I send you as truthful statements of passing events; they are not of ton overwrought. A largo Southern emigra tion bus come in. Major Buford is, I hear, close by, with about 700 men ; but thu North is acting a most daring and reckless game, and the issue depends on tho ])erseverance of the South. I think tho abolition excitement in Kansas will be kept up for political capital til. alter tho Presidential election. On these grounds it is evidently espoused by Fremont (a Charleston man at that) and such men. We have many traitors to contend with; the whole Benton faction is free soil; had he been true to the South, perhaps very little of this excite ment would liiivo occurred, and can it be won dered at that the abolitionists are hold when some of our greatest Southern men turn trai tors and call them to the slaughter. In my opinion the South lms already submitted to great degradation, because she has submitted and is daily submitting, from bet - political equals, to insult and robbery without redress or revenge. If the mercantile interest of tho South was as true as the planting interest, we could, by commercial restrictions, make them treat us with justice and respect. Commercial non-intercourso or restrictions should he vig orously carried out with every State that al lows abolition societies to exist within its borders, for they are clearly in violation of the constitution and United States Laws in spirit if not in letter. Could we allow public associations to exist among us to spoil any foreign power ? Yet one State can pirate on another, it seems, through these societies.— The President sin-, it is clearly true) that tho nets of the abolitionists would be cause of war if done by foreign nations. Is murder or robbery less a crime, or to be less resisted, be cause committed by a political brother? You sell them your cotton and buy their manufac tures, on which they become surfeited with with wealth, and use it to rob us and iusultus. Foreign goods have to be brought in abolition vessels and lauded nt abolition ports. Must this always be borne ? Has the South no ener gy ? She has evidently every natural advan tage-i—sho either fails to see the way, or needs the enterprise to execute her liberation from tho commercial supremacy of the North. We have been making some efforts here to turn our trade from the abolitionists, but find the great majority of merchants opposed to it; they care but little with whom they trade, so they can but turn their dollar over; and the farming community, which is by far tbo most deeply interested, do not have sufficient inter course to act in concert; there are a few mer chants who would do anything for the cause, but they would be sacrificed if the movement was not general; so lean see no more effec tual or suitable plan than for legislative en actments that would be wise, prudent, and .to tho point, and let tho North know that they must pay lor their fanaticism. A 1 ankeeV pocket reasons faster and better than his head It is clear to our mind that if Kansas is abolitionized, Missouri will shortly surrender, and the other .States in quick succession; like leaves in autumn, every little political storm will bring some down : the South is then utterly ruined and the manufacturing interest of the North must fall with it, and strange it is, that men should thus fanatically plot their own downfall; but such is the history of man, and he is made of the same clay in the nine teenth century us wln-n he built the tower of Babel, or crucified his Savior, and it is a poor satisfaction to know, that when they pHt fire to our temple, they will be destroyed with ns. In the far South, you can hardly I<*l the dau ger of abolitionism, or believe it will come in yeurtime; you cowardly (1 mean no insult, so be not offended) postpone the evil day for your children to fight through; you cannot say the issue has never been made before. The first abolition society formed in New England, the first abolition speech delivered in Congress, the first slave stolen from the South, was each a casus belli -a cause of war. Again you think “the war is too far off: it is tiyrhy in the North-West, Missouri and Kansas, and we must not go abroad to seek a fight.” Let me advise you all, as a sincere friend, that when the abolitionists curry the war to your doors, don't contend one hour with them, make the best terms you can, and cry “to your tents Oh Israel,” for when its reaches the far South, the end is at hand. If the South has any idea of contending against this monster ; if she has any men and money to offer for the preserva tion of her inheritance, now is the time, and here is the place. She has more interest at stake than we have, for while this country is admirably adapted to slavo labor, where their health is unsurpassed, their increase great, and the products of their labor valuable ; yet it is a grain-producing and a stock-raising country, and if deprived of slaves we can live well, aye, abundantly, by hired white labor, and the African race is not numerous enough to be in our way, were we silly enough to liber ate them here, in preference to taking them down to you und selling them, and in a few years pay you another visit to steal them from you, or encourage them to cut your throats, set fire to your houses, and run away by the light, as your Y'ankee friends have done.— Hence, we liavo not only the Northern aboli tionists to oppose, but also a strong freesoil sentiment prevailing among us, entertained as much by Southern born as by others. Cursed oe their mothers dugs that raised them. Thus you will see we have had a hard struggle—a lire in rear as well as in front. I could give you an account of matters as they have occur red since my last, but I would rather refer you to the “ Kansas Herald,” “ Squatter Sovereign,” and other pro-slavery papers, for an honest statement of these things. They are mostly edited by truthful gentlemen, and in one respect, arc very far inferior to the aboli tion editors, whose able corps of liars are un surpassed by any press in the world. I hope you enjoy good health and will let me hear from you soon. My family is pretty well, and has increased one boy since my last to you—he is a fine ten pound specimen of a “ Border Ruffian.” So wishing you all health and hnppincss, I remain sincerely your friend, Joseph Walker. Resurrection Flower. In its account of the recent Spring Exhibi tion of the Bi-ooklyn Horticultural Society, the New York Tribune says : Wo must notice one very remarkable curios ity known as the Resurrection Flower. This flower, or rather plant, resembles in its nomi nal state, a dried poppy head, with tho stem attached. Ou being immersed a moment or wo in a glass of water, and set upright iu a few moments the upper petals began to burst open gradually, yet visibly to the eye; they continued to expand until, throwing them selves back in equidistant order, there was presented a beautiful radiated starry flower, somewhat resembling both the passion flower and tho sun flower, and yet more splendid than either. The unfolding still continued un til the petals bent backward over what might be termed the base of the flower, presenting in bold relief in its centre its rosette of the most exquisite form and ornamentation, and thus assuming anew charm, entirely eclipsing what, a moment before, seemed its absolute perfection. After remaining open an hour or more, the moisture gradually dissipates itself, and the fibres of the flower contract as grad ually us they expanded, and it resumes its original appearance, ready to be unfolded again by the same simple process—the num ber of times seeming to be only limited by the will of the possessor. Doctor Deck, who brought this specimen from Upper Egypt, snggests that the flower is a native of the Holy Land, and is a typo or va riety of the long lost Rose of Jericho, called also the rose of Sharon, and the Star of Beth lehem, and highly venerated for its rarity anil peculiar properties by the pilgrims and Cru saders, and eagerly sought after by them as a priceless emblem of their zeal and pilgrimage, and worn on their escutcheons in a similar manner as the scollopshell and palm branch. This idea is strengthened by the fact that re semblances of the flower, both opened and closed, are sculptured upon the tombs of two of the Crusaders buried in the Temple Church of London, and also in the Cathedrals of Ua yeux and Roueu iu Normandy, where some of the most illustrious Crusaders are interred.- Its botanical position is difficult to assign, ns it presents some peculiarities of the highest and lowest classes. The opinion most sanc tioned is, that the flower is pericarp, or seed vessel of the plant; that it grows in desert or sandy places, and tails, in due course of exis tence from the parent stem. Retaining its seed in an arid soil and atmosphere, it is for j months and years wafted about by the winds, | but from lack of moisture keeping closed. ! Eventually it falls upon some damp spot, near some well or oasis, when it opens, deposits its ! seeds, and thus by a most exquisite adaptation of means to an end, exhibited in this beautiful phenomenon of nature, the work of reproduc- I tiou is commenced ami concluded. j lhe fast young ladies of Vincennes, says tho I Louisville Democrat, are giving “onion par i ties, at which the only refreshments are raw onioua and alum salt. Mrs. Napoleon s baby has been enrolled as one of the Gienadier, of the Imperial Guard. Me should have supposed a pluce iu the ranks of the infaut-ry would have been more appro priate. j 1 kubxui i ic. ♦ tdxpressly for the Daily Sun. THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. AKKIVAL OP THE BALTIC. —• ♦ Colombia, May 27. The steamship Baltic has arrived, with dates three .lay later from Europe. Cotton quiet— prices unchanged; though holders were ask ing an advance. Sales for two days preceding the sailing of the steamer, thirteen thousand bales. Consols ♦ Columbus, Ga., May 27, 1856. The following dispatch was received by us, too late for insertion in this morning’s paper.— Eds. Sum, Later from Kansas. St. Louis, May 25.—Advices have been re ceived in this city from Kansas, which state that the Committee of Safety at Lawrence ! had resolved not to resist the United States Marshal. The City of Lawrence was evacua ted, and the Free State men collecting at To peka. They will there resist the United States authorities, if the threats against Lawrence j City be carried out. ♦- - The Sumner and Brooks Affair. Boston and Lowell held immense indignation meetings, on receipt of the news announcing the castigation of Senator Sumner, by Mr. Brook 1 :, of South Carolina The most distin guished men of all parties participated in the meetings, and at Boston, the Governor of Mas sachusetts presided. The resolutions adopted were very violent Columbus, Ga., May 27. —At a meeting of one of the Editors of the Sun, (the other Edi tor being absent) it was unanimously resolved that Senator Sumner has got his deserts, and that Mr. Brooks be requested, if need be, to “hit him again,” but not with a walking cane, if it.ean be helped Still Later. Tuesday Morning, 7£ o’clock. — We have just received the following telegraphic dis patch.—Eds. Sun. Columbia, May 20. The rumored destruction of Lawrence City, Kansas, is confirmed by despatches from Chi cago. Tho Sheriff appeared before the town on Wednesday, with an overwhelming force.— He made sonic arrests—demanded and receiv ed some fire arms ; others were refused him. lie thereupon cannonaded the town, and finally burned it. It is thought that Gen. Pomeroy, for whose head a reward was offered, has been hung. Reeder is supposed to have retreated to some place of safety. Robinson was at Lecomptcn, and at latest dates, a mob had gathered there, threatening to hang him. Latest News from Florida. Gen. Churchill, Inspector General of the United States Army, arrived here by the last Southern boat from Florida, where he has been on a tour of inspection. He brings the latest intelligence from the Indian country. Gen. Churchill left Tampa, on his return, Wednesday the 14th inst., in a conveyance furnished by the Quartermaster’s Department, and under an escort of four mounted en and his servant. lie came out thirty-four miles the first day to a house on the stage road to Pa latka, where ho stopped for the night. A run ner came in soon after his arrival, with intel ligence that the house of Capt. Bradley, of the Florida militia, four miles from where Gen. C. was then stopping, had just been at tacked that evening, by a party of twelve or fifteen Indians, and two of hia children killed. Captain Bradley was in the house at the time of the attack, but was sick in the bed. He rose however, and with his double barrel shot gun, kept the Indians at bay. They retired beyond the range of his gun, and finally quit ted the pluce. An effort was made the follow ing day to overtake them, but the pursuing party soon lost their trail and abandoned the ; attempt. Gen. Churchill was told that Indian “signs” i had been seen as far east as the Withlacoochie. It was stated also, that they had made their appearance as far north as Levy county. Great uneasiness prevnils throughout the country bordering on the Indian territory. In many places the growing crops have been abandoned, and women and children removed from their homes to distant points, for personal security. — Sav. Republican. ♦ ——- Rather Awkward. A young and handsome lady was a tow days since a passenger in an oninibus in New York, in which was a party of Spaniards, who began in their own language a rather particu lar discussion of her charms. They contin ued it without restraint until they reached their destination. In getting out, one of them happened to step upon her dress. What was his astonishment to hear her quietly inform him of that fact in frightfully good Castil ian. Their astonishment and embarrassment, chagrin, and excuses, and apologies, are all in that long catalogue of things which can only be imagined. J A Northern Portrait of Padre Vijil. The New York Times says: The Padre Vi jil, Minister to the United States from Nicara gua, is stopping nt the Metropolitan Hotel. He is an elderly gentleman of somewhat sin gular appearance and dress ; below the medi um stature; very dark complexion, and with a head and countenance denoting an Indian i stiiei than Castilian origin. His expression is one of benevolence, rather than a high or der ot intellect. He is said to be a man of good education, though defective in English, and to all outward seeming, better suited to the offices of Church than the storm of State. r Bridging the Mississippi. The Washington correspondent of the St Louis Republican says : “Mr. Kennet, of Mis souri, contemplates urging upon Congress the propriety and actual necessity for a bridge over the Mississippi at St. Louis—to be constructed on arches CO feet above high water, and suf ficiently wide for four railroad tracks— two wagon tracks and two foot ways. The Presidential Canvass. A Washington letter in the New York Times says: “Au effort is making under the lead of Sam. Medary, Senator Bright and other North western Democrats, now here, to effect a per fect union among the delegates of that sec tion to the Cincinnati Convention, to cast, its votes as a unit for Pierce or Douglas, which ever shall prove the strongest. Michigan alone holds out for Buchanan. Even this una nimity against Buchanan destroys all reasona ble hope of his nomination, and Pierce's friends claim to-night that it gives the latter the lead again. A Good One---Over the Left. A few days since one of our Railroad agents, a better fellow than whom does not “ live, move or have being,” received a letter from a gentleman in a neighboring city, inquiring for a trunk which had I een misplaced or lost, ad ding, by the way of description; “ The trunk has ‘A. B.’ marked on the left end.” Where upon, he received from “Alf” the following answer: “After a careful inspection of all the bag gage at this depot, and very mature delibera tion, we are of the opinion that both ends of your trunk are left.” Affray at a Wedding. Avery singular and most amusing scene, says the San Francisco Herald, occurred re cently, at tho residence of a blooming widow lady, up town. The lady, it appears, was en gaged to two different individuals, and had appointed the same hour for theconsummation of her vows with each. The grooms met be fore the nuptial altar, where each insisted up on his right of priority. Weapons were drawn, and there was more probability of a funeral than a wedding in the house. The police in terfered, and both the claimants were lodged in the city prison. Claimant “number one” was released upon bail and married the widow, while claimant “number two” was lamenting his hard fate in confinement. Claimant “num ber two” shortly’afterwards took passage for Nicaragua. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald reports that at the President’s grounds, during the performance by the Ma rine Band last Saturday, old Marcy, the ‘Lit tle Giant,’ and a few other gentlemen, were in conversation about the‘New l T ork difficulty.’ Old Marcy said when ‘he left New l'ork the entire party was in harmony and union.’— ‘Well, Governor,’ said Douglas, ‘don’t you think it would tend to harmonize matters for you to go back ? Suppose you try it ? The old Premier replied, ‘Douglas, you are a smart young man, but you are growing a little too fast.’ Both sallies were greeted with hearty laughter, and the parties separated. The Savannah Republican has, from the first, treated the action of theßrunswick com pany with contempt. —Columbus Times. isot exactly “contempt,” friend Lomax, though we confess we did feel something of a Georgian’s indignation when a foreign Board of Directors landed on our shores and let loose the flood gates of their abuse against the Gov ernment of Georgia aud the people of our good old city. So far as concerns their letting the Main Trunk “ slide,” we simply maintained that the action of the meeting did not mean one half of what appeared on its face, and we are still of the same opinion. Future develop ments will prove whether we were correct in this or not. — Sav. Rep. One of the Birds. The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter tells us that a bird about the size of a large turkey, aud the coloi of a guinea fowl, was lately kill ed in that neighborhood, by Mr. Francis Ga zel, who extracted from its gizzard and craw nine hundred diamonds. He has sold twenty seven of the smallest in New Orleans fors3oo. The value of the remainder is estimated at $15,000. The bird was evidently of “foreign extraction.” The Factory Sabbath School. Had a gala day last Saturday—made a beau tiful turn out with fine music, and dined at Arcade Hall. There were 105 children in the procession, and fine looking youngsters they were. May they grow in wisdom, knowledge and happiness.— Macon Tel. A lad, wishing to turn sailor, applied to the captain of a vessel for a berth. The captain, wishing to intimidate him handing him a piece of rope, said—if you want to make a good sail or, you must make three ends to that rope.’— ‘I can do it,’ readily replied the boy. ‘Here is one, and here is another—that makes two —now, here is the third’—and he threw it overboard. The Secret of Great Acquisitions. “ The chief art of learning,” says Locke, “is to attempt but little at a time. The wid est excursions of the mind are made by short flights frequently repeated: the most lofty fabrics of science are from the continued accu mulations of single propositions.” Before we have God with us in outward la bor, we must seek him and obtainhis direction aud promise of help in secret. O, if thy heart were more in the closet, it would be more full of hope iu the church of God, where thou oughtest to act the man always. The power of faith can anticipate time, and make future things present. If we are the true sons of Abraham, we are already, while we sojourn here on earth, possessors of our laud of promise ; while we seek our country, we have it.—Hall. In old times, the bills of lading commenced as follows: “ Shipped, by tho grace of God, in good condition,” etc. Dr. Franklin used to print and sell bills of lading, and some pious persons objecting to the usual heading, he ad vertised that he sold bills of lading “ with or without the grace of God.” Two new poets have appeared in England with considerable success. One is Thomas Capern, a postman ; the other is a factory girl who writes under the signature of Isa. “ Excuse me, madam, but I would like to ask why you look at me so very savagely ? “ “Oh. beg pardon, Sir. I thought you was my husband! ” Col. S. Grinnalds, United States Consul to \ Porto Rice, died near Norfolk, Virginia, on the 18th inst. The Green Bay (Wis.) Advocate notes the arrival there of 9UO Belgians, and says 3,000 or 4,000 more are soon expectod. V. T. BARNYVELL, GENERAL LITERARY AGENT ATLANTA.
