COLUMBUS: Friday Morning, May 30, I^sß. LARUKST CITY CIKCULATION. Keep Cool I Our friend of the “.Arctic,” n few doors above, lias “laid upon our table” a crystalised specimen, “ pure as the icicle that hangs on Diana temple!’’ and he informs us that he has “any quantity” of the same sort, for sale, wholesale and retail. Ham uses his best en deavors to accommodate the people, and is in every way worthy of their patronage. The Keystone State, a regular steam Packet between Savannah and Philadelphia, came in collision with the bark (,'avulier, off Norfolk, on the 2fith iust. The steamer’s bows were stove in, and the water flowed in rapidly ; she was finally run on the flats toprovcnt Jierfrom sinking. Freshet in the Wateree River. We learn from the Camden (S. C.) Journal, that large quantities of rain had fallen in the upper part of the State, and that the Wateree river had risen to a greater height than had been known for several years, over-flowing its banks for a considerable distance. The land is severely damaged, and crops which were up and growing, have been swept off, and have to be planted over. Col. Brooks’ Constituents. The citizens t f Newberry District held a meeting on .Saturday evening last, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the peculiar circumstances in which their immediate rep resentative is now placed. Gen. James A. Williams was called to the chair, and J. S. lleid appointed Secretary. Gen. A. <J. Uar lington, offered with an appropriate preamble, a resolution declaring that the meeting approv ed the conduct of Col. Brooks in the premises, and that it should recommend the holding of meetings on the first Monday in June, in the various districts forming the 6th Congressional District, to express the approbation sure to be accorded to him by his constituents. Col. S. Fair and Major Henry Sumner made brief speeches, and the meeting having voted Col. Brooks a handsome gold-headed cane, adjourn ed to the next sale-day. In Columbia, a large subscription has been raised, headed by the Governor of the State, with a view of purchasing a splendid silver pitcher, goblet and stick, to be presented to Col. Brooks. And in the same city, the slaves have already contributed large sums to be de voted to a similar purpose. We also see it stated in the Standard, that a considerable sum of money in small and limited subscriptions, has been made up in Charleston, for the same purpose. Several neat and substantial articles liavo also been contributed from the forest near Charleston, for the same destination. Verily this looks like backing up the repre sentative. Clairvoyance, Fortune-Telling, Etc. Though we desire always to keep a civil tongue in our head, there are times and sea sons when plain talk is needful, and not to be restrained by any considerations of false deli cacy. We therefore copy the following article from the Montgomery Mi.il, pointed, as we think, at a Madame Swett, Clairvoyanete, at present coining into money the credulity of the Montgoinorians. Some three years ago, there came to Savannah, a Madame Adolphe, having in her train, two plump young gils, and a Miss Nancyisli man, professedly the husband of one of the girls. We wrote a short article warning our readers, that Madame Adolphe, and any other Madame professing to know more than other people about the future, was a humbug. The young gent thereupon was in high dudgeon, and threatened us with a libel suit. We immediately made further investigations, and learned that Madame Adol phe, had left Augusta a few days before in great haste, having been threatened with Lynch Law, on account of her infamous pro positions to respectable ladies, who, we are sorry to say it, had sought information of her as to the future, not meaning, however, to do any wrong, aud never dreaming of the infamous proposals to which they would be subjected. Theso facts we also published, but to our great regret and surprise, they had littlo or no ef fect, and Madame Adolphe continued to do a thriving business. We see, very lately, that Madame A., is now in Washington, and one of the Washington papers lately published a warning against her. Now whether Madame Swett, is like Madame Adolphe, we know not. Hut hero is what a correspondent of the Mail writes: It has been most forcibly and truly said that ” the credulity of fools is as inexhaustible ns the invention of knaves.” We hsvo frequent illustrations of the truth of this declaration, in the ready gullibility with which mankind credits the most preposterous pretensions •to supernatural prevision. Most of these pre tenders are women,—French Madames, —they abound in all our cities aud sometimes iu duil seasons make a professional tour into the country. They profess themselves astute in the affairs of the heart, matrimony, nnd love difficulties. Almost every woman has an affair of this kind, present, or in prospect, and yearns for a solu tion of it. Madame has a victim at once. A few dollars are put into Madam's hand, nnd Madame in return predicts happiness for the troubled lady. If young, she is to marry a handsome fellow, rich, and devoted to her. If a widow is the applicant, a second husband is seen to stand in the shoes of the “ dear de parted.” If a dissatisfied wife is tho appli cant, she is to have two or more husbands yet. Matrimony, happy arrangements, are invaria bly predicted. No woman was ever turned off without tlie-e consolations. It may be said these delusions are innocent, ind if tlfe 1 idles are willing to p,y for these uplifting* of the veil of the future, they have a right to spend their money, and nobody lias a right to remark upon their gullibility and that is all we propose to do. Hut there is nnother mystery which these Madames sometimes teach, which is not on tbeir bills. We cannot be more definite oil this point than to sny that the subject is a ve ry interesting one to married ladies who are more prolific than desirable, and to young la dies under imaginable circumstances. For further particulars see Madame. One Who Knows. Slavery and the Methodist General Conference. The Methodist General Conference, for some time in session in Indianapolis, had the vexed question of slavery before it last Thursday.— It first came up in connection with the Keport of the Tract Society on the question of pub lishing anti-slavery works. On this subject the committee had much difficulty. The ac count before us says : When Rev. Abel Stevens was secretary of the Tract Society, ho placed upon the list for publication three tracts, about which a con tention arose which is not yet settled. These tracts were Mr. Wesley’s “Thoughts on Slave ry,” and two anti-slavery tracts compiled from Dr. Elliott’s works. Before these were pub lished Rev. Dr. Jesse T. Deck succeeded Mr. Stevens as secretary, and then, it is said, the Board undertook the task of revising the list of publications, and these three tracks were struck off. A number of the members of the committee are now earnest in demanding that these tracts shall be published. A number of strong resolutions have been offered in the committee. At its last meeting the following was offered by Mr. Smith, of New Hampshire Conference, as a compromise: Resolved, That the committee on the truct cause, having had under consideration the publication of anti-slavery literature, recom mends the tract society to publish such tracts on the subject as the sin of slavery may de mand, including Mr. Wesley’s Thoughts on Slavery. Dr. Jesse T. l’eck opposed this. He said men were very fond of crying out Fiat justitia ruat caelum, but they knew all the while that there was no danger of the heavens falling.— He thought doing right must include results. He knew the effect of publishing anti-slavery tracts would be fatal to the society, it would strike down—lie would not say nine-tenths— but two-thirds of the support of the cause.— There were men —who did not live in the South either—who regarded such literature as they did the incendiary or midnight assas sin. The resolution is not yet disposed of in the committee, but was under discussion when it adjourned last evening. On the same day the majority of the Com mittee on slavery made their report, Dr. Dur bin announcing that the minority was not quite ready. The majority report after a preamble, recommended the adoption of the following resolutions : Resolved. By the delegates in General Con ference assembled, that we recommend to the Annual Conferences the alteration of the Dis cipline in regard to the “ General Rules on Slavery,” so as to read : “ The buying and selling or holding a hu man being in bondage.” Resolved, That wo recommend as a substi tute for the 7th chapter of the Book of Disci pline, the following: What shall be done for the extirpation of the evil of slavery ? Answer 1. We declare that we are as much as ever convinced of the great evil of slavery. We believe that all men, by nature, have an equal right to freedom, and that no man has a moral right to hold a fellow being as property. Therefore, no slaveholder shall be eligible to membership in our church hereafter, where emancipation can be effected without injury to the slave ; but inasmuch as persons may be brought into the legal relation of slaveholders involuntarily or voluntarily, by purchasing slaves in order to free them, therefore, the merely legal relation shall not be considered, of itself, sufficient to exclude a person, who may thus sustain it, from tlio fellowship of the church. Answer 2. Whenever a member of our chinch by any means, becomes the owner of a slave, it shall be the duty of the preacher in charge to call together a committee of at least three members, who shall investigate the case, and determine the time in which said slave shall be freed; and on his refusal or neglect to abide by the decision of said committee, he shall be dealt with as in case of immorality. Answer 3. It shall be the duty of all our members and probationers, who may sustain the legal relation of slaveholder, to teach their servants to read the word of God. to allow them to attend the public worship of God, on our regular days of Divine service; to protect them in the observance of the duties of the conjugal and parental relations; to give them such compensation for their services as may, under the circumstances, be just and equal; to make such provisions as may be legally practicable, to prevent them and their posterity from pass ing into perpetual slavery ; and to treat them, in all respects, us required by the law of love. Answer 4. It. shall be the duty of our preach ers prudently to enforce the above rules. Immediately after the reading of the report the Conference adjourned. Further by tho Baltic. Wo copy the following accounts by the Bal tic from the Charleston Courier: Commercial Intelligence. The Liverpool Cotton Market was unchang ed, although holders were asking an advance Tho sales on the llltlx and lllth inst. compris ed only 13,000 hales, of which speculators took 20,000 and exporters 1000 bales, leaving 0,600 bales of all descriptions to the trade.

Russia, uuder Mourav off, was commencing anew campaign against the Circassians. Tlie excitement continues in Belgium re specting the French interfering with the free dom of the Belgian press, but it is said that an agreement had been made with France on the subject. The French secret societies were causing anxiety to the Government. Italian affairs continue to excite attention- Count Cavour has transmitted two i portant notes to the Sardinian Chambers.

May 27.—There was considerable excite ment in the Senate to-day. Mr. Butler, who has returned, briefly denounced Mr. Sumner’s speech. Mr. T oombs, of Georgia, justified the assault on Mr. Sumner. Mr. Wade, of Ohio, said, if necessary, he would die fighting for the liberty of debate. Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, pronounced the assault upon Mr. Sumner as brutal and cowardly. Mr. Butler replied : “you area liar,” but subsequently retracted the words, and apolo gized to the Senate. The debate then closed. Despatches were sent to-day by the Asia, to Mr. Dallas, our Minister at London, announc ing the dismissal of Crampton. Later from Kansas. St. Louis, May 26. — Advices from Kansas state that Messrs. Robinson and Schuyler were in charge of the Federal Authorities. Reeder had not been found. Sheriff Jones had enter ed Lawrence with twenty men, and Bomcroy had delivered all the cannon and rifles he could find, taking a receipt from Jones for the same. Orders had been given not to molest private property, but Gov. Robinson’s house bad been destroyed in violation of orders. One man had been shot. The furniture liad been moved out from the Hotel and the premises destroy ed. Later from California. New Orleans, May 27.—The Grenada has arrived at this port from Havana, with dates to the 24th May, and from California to the sth inst. The Illinois took out $1,800,000 in treasure.

Tho following letter was addressed to the meeting in New York in response to an invi tation to be present: Washington, May 21. Sir—Your telegraphic dispatch, inviting me to attend the meeting in the Park on Friday evening, has just reached me. I cannot be there in person, but my feelings and sympa thies are with you in this demonstration of public satisfaction at the wise and just meas ure of the administration, by which the exist ing government of Nicaragua is recognised and will be encouraged to go on with its good work. I trust it will meet the cordial appro bation of the American people. It cannot fail to do so, if they are true to the faith of their fathers. Since the commencement of our na tional existence it has been our principle to consider every foreign government a legitimate one which is received as such in its own coun try. This is the condition of the present rul ers of Nicaragua, nnd it is no less our duty than it ought to be our desire to lend them tho moral support they can derive from our recognition. lam free to confess that the heroic effort of our countrymen in Nicaragua excites my admiration while it engages my solicitude. lam not to bo deterred from the expression of those feelings by sneers, or re proaches, or hard words, ilo who doesn’t sympathise with such uu enterprise bus little in common with me. The difficulties which Gen. Walker has encountered and overcome will place his name high on the roll of the dis tinguished men of his age. He has conciliat ed t,.e people he went to aid, the government ot which he makes part, is performing its func tions without opposition, and internal tran quility marks the wisdom of its policy. That magnificent region, for which God has done so much aud man so little, needs some renovating pmee-s, some transfusion by which new lile may be imparted to it. Our countrymen will plant there the seeds of our institutions, and God grant that they may grow up into an abundant harvest of industry, enterprise and prosperity. Anew day, 1 hope, is opening upon the States of Central America. If we are true to our duty they will have a security in their own power against the ambitious de signs of England far better than Claytou-Bul. wer treaties, or any other diplomatic machine ry by which a spirit of aggression is so ght to he concealed till circumstances are ready for active operation. I am, respectfully, \ our obedient servant, LEWIS CASS. Presbyterian General Assemblies—Slavery. The General Assemblies of tlie two branch es of the Presbyterian Church—Old and New School —are stiil in session in the city of New York. The Old Schools seem to be quietly attending to their own business, and progress ing with their examination into their denom inational affairs with commeudable harmony and dispatch. Not so, however, with the New Schools, they having abandoned their appro priate sphere, and descended to a four days wrangle over the sinfulness of slavery. The whole discussion arose, as we learn from the Express, in consequence of the insertion, in the majority report, by the Committee to whom the question was referred, of a clause from certain resolutions passed by the General As sembly held at Detroit in 1850. After stating that the question had been entirely settled by those resolutians, the report goes on to quote the following as the conclusion then reached : “ That the holding our fellow man in slave ry, except in those eases where it is unavoid able by the laws of the State, the obligations of guardianship, or the demands of humanity, is an offence in the proper import of that term as used in the Book of Decipline, Chap. I, Section 3, and should be regarded and treated as in other offences.” Then, alter quoting from the Detroit resolu tions, the report continues : “ This opinion has been re-affirmed either expressly or virtually by nearly every succeed ing Assembly, including the last. Nor do the Committee anticipate that any considerable portion of the present Assembly will either stand or doubt concerning it, or incline in the least to a retrogade course. The doctrine set forth at Detroit—set forth simply as a doctrine and not as a law or judicial decision—is now, they judge, the settled view of our Church.” This portion the Southern men wished stricken out if the report was entered on the minutes, because they do not consider slavery an offence per se. The Northern Delegates (with one exception) wished to retain it, but did not appeal to the Bible to sustain their po sition, while the Southerners did. The Rev. Dr. Ross, of West Tennessee, and Rev. Dr. Bar ker, of Virginia quoted various passages from the Old and New Testaments showing that slavery was established by God Himself and sustained by Christ and His Apostles. The question was simply on a motion by Rev. Dr. Adams to print the majority and mi nority reports on the minutes, while an amend ment was offered by Dr. Mills to print the for mer only. This would probably have been carried at once, were it not for the latitude al lowed in the debate, and the feelings since ex cited. The whole matter, however, was dis posed of Friday, by the adoption of the ma jority Report as the settled view of the As sembly ; and, as a courtesy, after considera ble discussion, Dr. Boyd’s Minority Report was ordered to be likewise printed in the Min utes. The General Assembly of the New School Presbyterians may, therefore, be con sidered an anti-slavery body—not, perhaps, of the ultra-Garrisonian School, but with a strong leaning that way. We fear there is trouble ahead for them. The debate was quite warm towards the close, and threats were made of a split in the church, the Southern and more moderate members condemning strenuously all further agitation of the matter, ou the ground that Northern interference only rivetted tigher the bonds of the African.— Sav. Republican. Queen Victoria’s Children. The Queen of Euglaud, if not a great sov ereign, is undoubtedly a true woman. Con sidering the force which is added to her ex ample by her exalted position, it can hardly be doubted that she confers a greater benefit on her subjects by the model she exhibits of all the womanly domestic virtues, than would re sult from the great capacity for affairs of State. The Toronto Globe has taken pains to collect from the English papers an account of the manner the Queen brings up her children, from which vve take the following extract: “It would seem that the whole royal house hold is up in the morning betimes, that the young people breakfast at eight and dine at one, which hour some people think decidedly vulgar. During the forenoon they keep to their books. Then the boys are drilled in military, while the girls, we suppose, practice calesthenics. After this they have an hour of music and dancing. By this time dinner is ready, and when it toils are surmounted, the children go to the riding school, from which they proceed, the priuceses to drawing aud music, and the princes to the carpenter’s shop, where they hammer and saw, and turn, till they are tried, after which they occasionally spend some time in a laboratory fitted up for their peculiar use. The school is now ended, and while the girls go out to play and ride, the boys go out to walk, play, ride or shoot till tea time. Then comes the preparations for tho lessons to-morrow, and then to bed. Such according to the English papers, is the dai. ly life of the Queen’s children, and when we add that, morning and evening, they are trained in the truths of religion, we believe we have before us the fact that the first fami ly in the empire is regulated in a fashion which it were well for a good many other fam ilies if they would but imitate.” • ♦ From Wiliuer’a European Tines, May 10. We have mentioned the absence of Mr. Dal las, the American Minister, lie dined the same evening with the friends and subscribers to the Literary Fund, where he made the speech of the evening. The American gov ernment has frequently been represented at the Court of St. James by very able men ; but we can call to mind no minister of the United States who has won such general admiration in this country in so short a time. The litera ry power and elegance of this gentleman’s af ter dinner addresses are perfect models in their way. They are so pointed and so terse, and marked by such an elevated tone, that they charm in the reading even more than they im press in the delivery. His allusion to the fact of the great Benja min I rankliu, hiscountrymau, having been towards the close of the last century the Presi dent of the same Literary Fund Association, was only excelled in good tnsto by the refer ence to the Englishman who established in the United States n kindred institution. If popu larity in this aristocratic country be any test ol admiration at home, Mr. Dallas ought to stand well at the Presidential ballot boxes on some forthcoming occasion. Arrests. Three negroes. Nelson, Sarah, and Angeline, belonging to Messrs. John R. and John A. 8011, were arrested last Monday, at the in stance of Thomas W. Walker, Esq., upon the suspicion that they arc concerned, in some way, in the robberry of Mr. Walker. They are now confined in jail, until the matter can be thoroughly investigated. A negro man named Lewis, who generally goesbv the name of “ Lewis Baker.” and has been living, off’ and ou. about Calmwba, for several years past, and has had several owners, was taken off’ n boat on Wednesday morning and confined in jail, on the suspeciou that he knows something of the robbery. He left here a few weeks ago. at a time when the enquiries in relation to the robbery were getting to be pressing.
