COLUMBUS: Thurnday Morning, May !40, I bSC. IiAKOENT CITY CIBOBLATIOS. The Crops. We returned yesterday morning, from a trip to Atlanta, in which we passed over the country through Troup, Merriwethor, (Jowetu, Campbell and Fayette counties in day light. We were astonished to find the crops so back ward. The cotton appears not to have been up over two or three weeks, and is very unprom ising. Corn, also, is small, and stand bad.— In comparison with last year, both cotton and corn is much inferior. ——- - Wo have been misinformed in regard to the physique and age of Senator Sumner. He is in the prime of life, and one of the most robust nnd athletic men in the Senate. It therefore seems that it was a want of pluck rather than strength that prevented him from resisting, the Gutta Percha cane of Mr. Brooks. . Mr. Herbert, member of Congress, from California, who killed the waiter, Keating, at Willard’s hotel, has given to the widow of the deceased o. neat house, settled upon her a handsome annuity, and provided for the edu cation of her children. Slavery in thp U. S. Supreme Court. The Washington correspondent of the New York Independent makes a statement, which if it be true, is of the majority of the Judges hftve overruled all the previous decisions of the Court, and have decided that the law of a slave State holds a slave in bondage while in a free State Wc learn from the last Federal Union that a great revival of religion has been progress ing in the Methodist church in Milledgevillc, for three weeks past. About eighty persons had joined the church in that time. They have on exhibition at Cincinnati what they call a “ wild woman,” who was caught, it is said, in Washington territory. Hon. 8. W. Harris. The Union of the 17th inst., says: “It gives us pleasure to state that the Hon. S. W. Har ris, of Alabamn, appeared in his seat yester day, having entirely recovered from his recent severe indisposition.” We direct the attention of Parents, Guar dians, and our citizens generally, to the ad vertisement of Mr. Kemmerer, for a Grand Concert of his pupils at Concert Hall to-mor row e.vening. . ♦— . Iranistan, the palatial seat of l*. T. Burn urn, is to be sold at auction by the first of September next. The Bridgeport paper says that many of Mr. Barnum's creditors are wil ling to sign off, and allow him to be liberated entirely from his debts, under the two-thirds bankrupt law. The steamer Nebraska was burnt at St. Louis on Monday last. She was bound to New Orleans. Loss said to be heavy. Land Warrants were selling at Washington City on the 24th instant, as follows:—80 and 160 acres at 90 cents, and 120 at 86 cents per acre. The citizens of Lawrence, Kansas, have received the following note, dated the 12th instant, from Gov. Shannon, in reply to a re quest from them to protect them against an invasion. Gentlemen —Your note of the 11th is receiv ed, and in reply 1 have to statu that there is no force around or approaching Lawrence except the legally constituted posse of the United States marshal and sheriff of Douglass county, each of whom, 1 am informed, have a number of writs in their hands for execution against persons in Lawrence. I shall in noway inter fere with either of these officers in th dis charge of their official duties. If the citizens of Lawrence submit themselves to the Territo rial laws, and aid and assist tho marshal and sheriff in tne execution of processes in their hands, as all good citizeus are bound to do when called on, they, or all such, will entitle themselves to the protection of the armed or ganization to resist tho Territorial laws, and the officers charged with their execution. 1 shall not interfere to save them the legitimate consequences of their illegal acts. I have the honor to bo yours with great respect, Wilson Shannon. Tho Fatal Duel Near New Orleans. The New Orleans Delta of the 22d instant, gives the following particulars of the fatal Duel at Pass Christian: At half-past seven o’clock yesterday morn ing the princippals, R. W. Estlin, Esq., of tho firm ot Estlin, Lee & Cos., of Canal street, and M. Cuddy, Esq., a member of the firm of Cud dy, Brown & Cos., of Camp street, came on the ground accompanied by their friends. The distance, ten paces, being measured, and the pistols handed to them, the gentlemen took their places. At the first fire Mr. Estlin, it is rumored, was (.lightly wounded in tho right arm, Mr. Cuddy heidg uninjured. However, the second tire of .Mr. Estlin, we are sorry to say, was the messenger of death to his antag onist. He never breathed alter receiving tho ball, which entered the groin on the right side, passing through the artery, across the abdo men, and through tho opposite artery, and lodging in his left hand. The cause of this unfortunate affair was, in relation to matters of business, or rather the motive, we under stand, for the insult which it is stated was of fered by Mr. Estlin, to Mr. Cuddy, w T as on ac count of business ; a challenge from the lat ter followed, which, sad to say, resulted in his untimely death, and the wounding of his an tagnost. City Council of Montgomery. At a regular meeting of this body on Mon day evening last. Judge Goldthwaite, chair man of the select committee, to whom was re ferred the ordinance providing for a subscrip tion by the city of Montgomery of $500,000 to the capital stock of the Alabama and Florida Railroad Company, for the purpose of enquir ing if such authority was revoked by the amendment to the charter of the city of the 16th February last, reported that “theamend ment referred to, deprives the Council of all authority to make such subscription.” The report was received and concurred in, and the committee discharged.— Adv. Jj- Gat. 2\th. A negro carpenter was lately sold|iu Adams county, Miss., for three thousand seven hun dred dollars. Brooks and Humner. The Washington correspondent of the Mont gomery Adveetiser, writes: “ Ever since the delivery of the spoech, Mr. Brooks has sought every opportunity to see Mr. Sumner, but was unable to do so until to day, being determined to chastise him for the gross and unjustifiable assault made on the people of South Carolina, but more especially upon Judge Butler, his near relative, who is an aged man, and who is absent from the city. About half past one to-day, he went into the Senate Chamber, after the adjournment, and waited nearly an hour, (Sumner was engaged in franking his infamous speech,) until the ladies bad left the gallery and the floor; some had come into the Chamber after the Senate had adjourned. Wlten they left, Mr. Brooks approached Mr. S., and said to him : “ Mr. Humner, I have read your speech with great care and as much impartiality as I ant capable of, and I have come to tell you that you have published a libel against my State, and utter ed a slander against a kinsman who is aged and absent, and I feel it my duty to punish you for it.” Suuiner made no reply. Mr. 15. had a stickinhishand, and immediately struck Mr. Sumner, and repeated his blows in rapid succession. S. attempted to close in on him, but 11. dealt his blows so rapidly that he could not. Finally, he fell, exclaiming, “Oh, Lord! oh, Lord!” Mr. B. offered no further violence after Mr. Sumner fell. The difficulty occurred in the Seriate Chamber about the spot where he uttered his slanders.” Rebellion in France. Twelve working men were recently arrested in France, charged with an attempt to get up a revolution. One of their proclamations was produced in Court. It declared a revolution to be imminent, accused the government of tyranny, and of having got up the difficulty of a famine; denounced stock jobbers and mono polists ; spoko in laudation of Robespierre, Marat and Uanton, called the Emperor “infa mous,” and said that there should be no par don for him; and exorted the people and the army to revolt, because the “dishonor of daughters, and the murder of sons cried aloud for blood !” The chiefs of the band were men named (dement and Doliget. The former, in his interrogatory, expressed admiration of all the sentiments set forth in the proclamation ; and the latter, amongst other things, said he believed religion to be an invention of priests, property a spoliation of the people, and that in politics there was no sucli thing as justice, but only the law of the strongest; and he added, that if his party triumphed, it would act on these principles. Another of the priso ners, a young man only nineteen years of age, named Fournier, said he considered Clement his “father in morality,” because “he had made his political education from beginning to end.” You are a shoemaker by trade,” said the President, and, instead of meddling witli politics, you had better have stuck to your last !” “In making shoes,” said the prisoner, witli a grand gesture, “1 should only be work ing for myself, and I feel called on to labor for society. ” Several were convicted and sentenc ed to imprisonment. Chinese in California. It is stated that the majority of the Chinese now in California are held in bondage by man darins residing in China ; and are sent out under charge of agents to work in the mining districts ; these serfs are bound by the Budd hist oath to deliver to their overseer all the fruits ol’ their labor, lie only providing them with the actual necessaries of life during their terms of servitude. According to the terms of this bondage they receive a miserable pittance from the mandarin who engages them, for each day’s labor, this to be paid on their re turn, aud so strict are they in the compliance of their stipulations, in case of the decease of any of tlicir people, that their bodies are re turned and their relatives paid the stipend due them for each day up to the time of the arri val of their remains. In some cases these peoplo have released themselves from bondage by being made cognizant of the laws of the Stnte, and attempts have been made by the mandarin to arrest them legally, but without success. The Havana News. The Havana correspondent of theNew r York Journal of Commerce, writing under date ot May 18, says: It is intimated that several Spanish vessels of war will leave this week for Vera Cruz, to enforce the payment or recognition of certain claims by this Government against Mexico, created at the last restoration of Santa Anna to power. Health of Havana good. We have some “Costa Rican” excitement and sympa thy here. Their cause has the prayers of the Holy R ornan Catholic Church, and a few in cog. Spanish swords. The new flag of Nicaragua consists of three stripes, two of sky blue, with a white stripe in the centre, and in the midst of the white is a circular device of the Seal of State, and the representation of seven volcanoes, in token ot the volcanic range of Nicaragua. Murder. As we got press, information is brought us that a man by the name of Hand went to the field where Lewis Allen was at work, in Henry county, on Wednesday evening last, and shot him, killing him on the spot. We have not 1 heard the particulars of the difficulty. Hand and Allen were brothers-in-law Hand has | not yet been arrested. —Griffin Union. Arrests. Tuesday Inst there were brought to our city | under arrest, throe men—two ou suspicion of j having been engaged in negro stealing, and one answering tho description of the supposed murderer of John Kitchens, who escaped from the Warrenton jail in September last. The latter person was taken to Warrenton on the Tuesday night’s train of cars.— lb. Our Canadian neighbors are providing for the armament of their militia with the very ! best weapons and the latest improved equip ments. We notice tho landing from an Eng lish ship of one hundred ai.d twenty-nine cases of Minie rifles, carbines, swords, and pistols, j all expressly for the militia, of which n for midable force has recently been enrolled and ofliccred. Sir William Hamilton, tho great Scotch Me taphysician, died at Edinburgh, on the Oth inst. He had long suffered from paralysis in his right side. The property of the Locomotive company at Covington, Kentucky, which cost $250,000, has beeu sold for $70,000. Nothing is purer than honesty—nothing sweeter than charity—nothing brighter than virtue—nothing warmer than love—and noth ing more steadfast than faith. From Grand Turk, Turks Island, it is re ported that up to February 28, 10,000 bushels of Salt had been raked, aud that the entire ponds of the colony had not been in a better i condition, at that early period of the salt sea son, for a series of years past. TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS. From Washington. May -s—Mr. Crumpton anfl the British consuls implicated in the violation of the Ame rican neutrality laws will be dismissed to morrow, (Monday). The President will an nounce the fact in a special message to Con gress. . It is believed that Crampton will immediate ly issue orders to the Briiish Squadron, (in accordance with authority received by him) which will lead to an early collision at San Juan. It was reported in this city that Mr. Brooks of South Carolina, had challenged General Watson Webb, on account of an article in the New York Courier and Enquirer, in relation to his punishment of Sumner ; but subsequent ly the report was contradicted, and it appear ed that only a correspondence had taken place respecting the authorship of the article, which General Webb had stated was not his, but that his views on the subject would appear in the morning over his own signature. Bunmer Sympathy Meetings. New Yoiik, May 24.—The Republican Coun ty Committee last night passed strong resolves, calling upon the House to expel his assail ants, and also upon the courts of Washington to punish them ; otherwise, they declare that the seat of Government must be removed. Boston, May 24.—A meeting of the citizens was held last evening to express the popular sentiment regarding the assault upon Sunnier ; aud, though called at a late hour to-day, was very large, Chapman Hall was found too small and the meeting adjourned to Tremont Tem pe. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Beecher; Deacon Samuel Greeley, presiding. General indignation was expressed of the as sault. Speeches were made by the Rev. W. Free man Clark, Wendell Philips, Judge Russell, Theodore Parker, J. M. S. Williams of Cam bridge, Lyman Beecher, John L. Swift, and W. B. Spooner. The speeches of Messrs. Philips and Park er were almost purely political, with minor reference to the object of the meeting. Mr. Spooner dissenting from the declaration made by both, that men not of the Freesoil party rejoiced at the assault on Sumner, and justified Brooks. He said it was not so; and held out a requisition for the use of Faneuil Hall, on Saturday night, for a mass meeting, signed by over fifty men of all parties. The pres ent meeting, he said, was a spontaneous one; no special party had the credit of its initiation. The meeting adjourned at ten o’clock to meet to-day at Faneuil Hall. Springfield, Mass., May 24. — An indigna tion meeting was held last night by the stu dentsof Amherst College, with reference to the recent outrage upon Mr. Sumner. The meeting was addressed by President Stearns, Professors Haven, Greene and others. Resolutions were unanimously adopted ex pressive of indignation and the insult upon Massachusetts, and sympathy for Mr. Sum ner. The Brooks and Sunnier Affair—lndigna tion Meeting. Boston, May 24. —One of the largest meet ings that was ever held in this city, assembled at Faneuil Hall last evening, expressive of in dignation in the assault upon Mr. Summer by Mr. Brooks. Gov. Gardner presided, and for ty vice presidents were appointed, most of whom were distinguished of all parties. Gov. Gardner, in a speech, characterized the assault as one of exceeding grossness and brutality, and without parallel in the pages of history. He called upon Congress to expell the assail ant. His sentiments were responded to by tremendous cheering thoughout the Hall; and appropriate resolutions were drawn up and unnimousjy adopted, after which speech es by many gentlemen, representing all politi cal parties, were made mostly of an unusually warm and defiant character, eliciting tumultu ous applause. Lowf.ll, Mass., May 24.—A large indigna tion meeting was held here last evening re specting the recent outrage in the Senate. Speeches were made and resolutions adopted in accordance with the spirit of the meeting. Major Huntington presided. The Imperial Infants of Kentucky. The Cincinnati Enquirer tells a good story of the birth of two cub lions in Van Amburg’s menagerie at Covington, styling them the im perial infants of Kentucky. The interesting event occurred about the time the Empress Eu genie had her first promonitions and every ar rangement was made for the safe delivery. The Enquirer says: “ It may be satisfactory to the whole coun try to learn that the Princes grow rapidly in strength and knowledge; that they would now weigh at least six pounds ; that their ap pearance is that of well-fed and well-nursed lionilities, and that they give every promise of the great and noble old State, which, the fore most in this Union in the product of the best specimens of the animal kingdom, may now add to its laurels that of having afforded the birth-place for the only heirs of imperial or royal title that are recognized on this conti nent.” A Token of Approval. We are pleased to know that several of the personal friends and admirers of Col. P. S. Brooks on account of his recent conduct in chastising the notorious abolitionist, Mr. Sum ner, of Massachusetts are about preparing a suitable evidence of their approval which will be conveyed to him by a delegate, under the instructions of his friends. —Columbia S. C. Times. Revenue from a Railroad. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has just paid to the city two hundred thousand dollars, the amount of four per cent, dividend due tlie city on the five millions which it holds in the company. The Ledger says: This stock was obstained by the issue of six per cent, bonds, and of course leaves a clear profit to the city on the last semi-annual pay ment of fifty thousand dollars. If the pres ent prosperity of the road continues, and four per cent, dividends are kept up, Philadelphia will realize a direct money profit from iter connection with the road of SIOO,OOO per year, aud indirectly it is believed much more. Diplomatic Dresses. It seems that our Ministers abroad have paid no attention to the instruction of Messrs. Mnrcy and Maun, as to the Diplomatic Dress es to be worn. Mr. Buchanan, who, it is re ported, complied with the suggestion of Mr. Alarcy, and left oil’ the customary slippery, it is now said, compromised the matter, by wear ing s I lack coat with breeches, a cocked hat and a sword. \ new York journal proposes, if our foreign ministers should wear a fancy costume on nffieinl occasions, to adopt the old Continental costume of buff’ breeches, blue coat, with white facings and a cocked hat. Such a dress, it is thought, would be at once both national and picturesque.— Richmond Dispatch. - There was a great Sunday School procession in Brooklyn Tuesday. About 12.000 scholars were out, and made au imposing demonstra tion. Bishop Hughes end the Nicaragua Minister. When the Padre sent by Walker as Minister to the United States arrived in New York, he lost no time in calling on Bishop Hughes, be fore whom he knelt and received a blessing. On raising to his feet, the Archbishop, not | knowing exactly the official position of the Padre, said: “ Do you know anything of that cut-throat, Walker ? ” The Padre bowed, and replied, “He is my friend ; lam his Minister,” and hastily left with “ a flea in his ear.” A lady, wishing to turn sailor, applied to the captain of a vessel for a berth. The cap tain, wishing to intimidate him, handing him a piece of rope, said—if you want to make a good sailor, 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 twe —now, there is the third”—and he threw it over-board. Mrs. Partington says that she did not mar ry her second husband because she loved the male sex, but just because he was the size of her first protector, and would come so good to wear his old clothes out. An exchange asks very innocently if it is any harm for young ladies to sit in the laps of ages. Our opinion if3 that it all depends on the kind of age selected. Those from eighteen to twenty-five, we think, arc rather hazardous. A lloosier in Kansas has been making liis fortune out of a woman’s dress. There being no women there, the squatters give him a dol lar a sight, and a pre-emption claim to put a pillow in it and give it a squeeze. Another libel suit has just, been decided at New Orleans. A man wanted $20,000 dam ages from the Crescent newspaper, but the jury after mature deliberation gave him the round sum of one cent. Suing newspapers for damages is not a paying business in New Or leans. A man named Rafferty, had his throat cut in the streets of Boston, last week, by a wo man whom he had refused to marry. Vincennes is the oldest town in Indiana and the progress of civilization among its in habitants is “some.” Among other novelties announced in the English papers, is a hag of white coal from Australia. PRESENTMENTS. UTK, tlu- Grand Jurors, (Panel No. 1) of the County of Muscogee, beg leave to make these our General Presentments: The several Committees appointed to investigate and examine into County matters, have made the following reports to this body : The books of the County Treasurer have been neatly and correctly kept, and show a balance on hand, appli cable to County purposes, of $57.22; and for Jury purpo ses, after having paid to Jurors for the present term $251, a balance of $270.46. M e report the roads as being in good condition. The Bridge across Bull Creek, on the Talbotton Hoad, and on the River Road; also that on the Old Express Road, across Randall’s Creek, require immediate atten tion. \\ s have examined the report of the Ordinary relative to the education oi the poor, by which it appears the ag gregate number of days taught in 1855, for which teach ers were allowed pay from the public fund, was 42,387, which, at cents per day, amounts to the sum of 1,807 42. leaving a balance of $72.53. The laws of the State relative to the education of the poor, we regard as being very defective in many particu lars, and if the next meeting of the Legislature of the State was not so distant, we would recommend what ap pear to us very important alterations. We will allude to two alterations that we deem very’ important: Ist. That Teachers should he required to sustain an examination as to capability before they should he enti tled to receive pay from the public fund. 2d. Entirely different provisions should he made for ascertaining the number and determining what children should he entitled to the benefit of the public fund. We authorize the Ordinary to levy and cause to be collected, for the education of the poor of Muscogee county, for the year 1856, a tax of 23 per centum upon the State tax of said county, for said year. We find it would be impracticable for tho Grand Jury to make out a list of the children who by law are enti tled to the benefits of the l'oor School Fund, that would he anything like accurate or complete. The Tax Recei ver’s hook does not give the names of the children, and the Grand Jury are fully satisfied that many of tho poorer children are not even numerically entered upon said hook. We therefore recommend and authorize the Ordinary to appoint one or more persons for each Militia district, to furnish him with a list of all children in their respec tive districts entitled by law to the benefit of Poor School rund, which said several lists the Ordinary is requested to lay before the Justices of the Inferior Court. And the sail Justices are requested to make out from said several lists and the Tax Kecoiver’s return, a list for the Ordinary, for ids government in the payment of teachers, Ac. And that the Ordinary pay-out of the funds in his hands as School commissioner—to the persons who may make out said lists, a reasonable compensation for said service, the price to he agreed on by the Ordinary and the persons who may perform the service. We recommend the Justices of the Inferior Court to levy such a tax lor the payment of Jurymen, as will be sufficient to pay to each Grand and Petit Juror, who may serve in the Superior and Inferior Courts of the county, the sum ot one dollar and thirty cents per dav ; and that ali fees for verdicts and confessions be paid‘to the Clerks ot said Courts, and by them paid to the Coun ty Treasurer, to become a part of the fund for the pay ment of Jurors. IVe find that the Jail is very cleanly and neatly kept much to the credit ot the Jailor—and is, as far as the Jury can see, safe against escape, with the exception of the window in the passage on the upper floor. We re commend that two fiat horizontal liars be inserted in the window, through which the upright bars shall be passed, so as to divide the iron work into three equal portions. I lie iron work in this window Is loose, anil should all be laken out and replaced, after the addition recommended. Ihe outer walls ot the Jail are very much cracked, and the doors m the lower story sunk from decay of the sleepers below. We do not recommcud any expensive additions to the Sail, inasmuch as it must evidently lie rebuilt before many years, and when that is done we recommend that particular attention lie paid to ventila tion, winch is now defective. Ine Court House roof is in a leaky condition, and for tho preservation of the building and records, requires thorough repair. The cornices in the Superior Court Room are, same of them, in an unsafe condition, and threaten injury to those standing below. Wc trust this will be immediately attended to. We recommend that the seats now provided for special jurors he removed and repealed by a platform 12 inches high, of sufficient sizs, surrounded by a rail, and furnished with twelve cush ioned arm chairs. The special Juries are sometimes con fined to their seats three or four davs continuously, and anil the present arrangement is exceedingly uncomfort able. Ihe recommendation we make will also give room to members of the Bar, witnesses and parties. Wo also recommend that every case where the public officers de sire it. tlie different offices be supplied with Stoves e the fire places are defective and liable to smoke. Ha arc unwilling to dissolve our connexion with the t ourt without a manifestation of our approbation of the able and efficient manner in which the duties of the Bench have been discharged. We congratulate our fel low citizen* ill the prospect of speedy relief from the heavy burthen of litigation which has been accumulat ing upon the Docket for twenty years : mid it is hut jus tice to tlie presiding Judge to attribute, in a great de gree, tlie consummation of so desirable an obiect to tlie untiring industry, energy, promptness and ability which hate characterized his administration. The result must he a large reduction of the county expense, and great relief from the onerous and expensive duties incident to long session, of the Court. It is unfortunate that “o important an auxiliary as the Solicitor General has uot I” on equally active and efficient in the discharge of the In, 1 ? ,°. f hls ande I JRrtIn <’‘- in which not only this commit -Irp wj* * eneral, y l ias a Jeep interest. Io Mr. John Peabody, the acting solicitor, we tender “5,1 thanks for tlie Uiliigence in the duties incident to the office, which he has discharged with ability. In consequence of the unusual press of business upon the first panel of the Jury, we have been unable to dis charge all the duties which have devolved upon us. We respectfully invite the attention of the second panel to such as we have been compellen to omit. u T B. HOWARD, Foietnan. K. M. Gunby, Vincent R. Tommy, Launcelot Gambiill, John W.
