COLUMBUS: Tuesday Morning, June 3, IHSO. LARGEST CITV CIRCULATION. Duel Prevented, For two days pant, various rumors have been circulated in our city of the presence of parties from Montgomery, Ala., who lmd come over for the purpose of fighting a duel. Wo learn that the names of the principals arc, H. Hudson and Lyman. About noon yes terday, the Sheriff of Muscogee county arrest ed Lyman, and the case was undergoing in vestigation yesterday evening, So the hostile meeting is likely to be “nipped in the bud”by the intervention of the law. Bank of Columbus. The books of subscription to the capital stock of the Hank of Columbus, were opened yesterday at the store of Messrs. Three wits, Holt .V Cos., where $288,000 was subscribed, leaving $16,400 of the stock yet to ho taken. The hooks will remain open at the store of John McQough until the remainder is sub scribed for. Receipts at Columbus. The receipts of Cotton at this place, from the 81st of August, 1800, to the 3lsl of May, 1800, are 100,074 bales, Stock hand 0,967. Receipts to same time last year were 04,820 hales. The receipts of Cotton nt New Orleans from Ist Sept. 1805 to the 29th May 1800, are 1,723,824 bales. Stook on hand 20th May, 104,789 bales. ♦* At Apalachicola, on the 28th ult., the re ceipts of cotton were 90,180 bales, against 70,480 same time last year. - Floride Victorious. At thoraces over the Baltimore Course last Friday, Floride, owned by Col. J. H. Woolfolk, of this county, won the four mile race, beating Sevastopol and Nannie Lewis. Time, 7:38 7:43. The Democratic State Convention of Florida, nominated M. S. Perry for Governor, G. S. Hawkins for Congress, nnd Phillip Doll and M. A. Long for Presidential Electors. Stolen Money Recovered. One thousand and sixty-two dollars of the eighteen hundred dollars stolen from T. W. Walker, Esq., of Cahaba, on the 11th of April, has been recovered. It was found in a search brought about by information derived from negroes, on a brick pillar under the Hotel kept by Mr. Duckweth by Mr. D. himself. The robbery was committed by a negro named Pleasant, the property of Mr. J. A. Bell. Capt. T. M. Buffington, of the steamboat Ariel, had his sleepiugroom entered last Tues day night in Mobile and his pantaloons con taining slfj,l3o taken from under his head.— The money, excepting $l3O, was in SI,OOO bills, which ho had drawn from Bank the day previous for the purpose of settling the boat’s accounts with the owners. Attention Mechanics. The President of tho Ceutral Bank of Ala bama, at Montgomery, advertises proposals lor building a Banking House in that city. Specifications and plan to be seen at tho Bank. Tho Mail, in noticing the matter, says “Me chanics, especially, will find it to their advan tage to look into tho ‘proposals’ matter. Who wants to put up the finest Bankiug House in tho State and connect his name inseperatcly with the first Iron Front in Alabama.” “ Tho Specifications for this work, prepared by Mr. Button, are full and accurate in every particular, so that a builder has nothing left to guess at.” A Lucky Lottery Office. At the drawing of the Jasper County Acad emy Lottery, in Macon, on the 16th ult., sev eral gentlemen in this State drew handsome prizes—aud among others, tho following : Wm. Moore of Upatoi, Ga., for a quarter ticket worth $2, drew $3,000, or tho fourth of the capital of $12,000. A gentleman of Crawford, now of Savannah, drew $3,000. A German gentleman of Macon, drew $760 on a quarter ticket Worth $2. Also a gentle men of LaGrange drew a like sum. Truly, Dame Fortune has showers of gold to scatter over the heads of those who patron ize Winter’s Lucky Havana Plan Lottery! New Principle. The Mobile ltegister says a now and pecu liar model for a atom wheel boat on anew principle, was brought to us yesterday by its ingenious inventor, Mr. J. V. Killingsworth, of Lauderdale county, Miss. To this proposed boat there are, iu fact, two wheels, obliquing on each side of the run, from tho centre ; yet so formed that the buckets act in parallel lines with the stern as usual, but possessing the power of separate action when machinery is attached, like tho side wheels of high pressure engines, and thus obviating the present diffi culty iu turning boats of this description. Tho Register of a later date, states that Mr. K. exhibited the capacity of his new plan for stern whoel boats, in presence of a considera ble number of boatmen and others. The mod el which is only about 30 inches long, was operated on by a mere spring, yet with this very pristine motive power, its progress through the water was both rapid and smooth. But its principal merit, says the Register, was shown to great advantage by the ingenious inventor, and created great surprise and plea sure. 1 his was its tacility in turning, which it accomplished as nearly as possible within its own length. When this new plan becomes tried on a large scale, it seems scarcely possible but that it must prove a most valuable novelty. Pretty Good Pickings. The Selma Sentiuel States that there are upon the civil docket of the Dallas (Ala.) Cir cuit, now in session, 1004 cases, of which 654 were writs issued to the present term. The criminal docket has 111 cases on it, and the Grand Jury, which had just adjourned, added 72 new bills. There are in attendance on the Court 48 law yer*, of which 89 are residents of the county. The Dismissal of Crampton. &c. We have before us the long letter ot Mr. Marcy, addressed to Mr. Dallas and dated May 27th, announcing the satisfaction of our Gov ernment with the explanation and apology of Lord Clarendon on the part of Great Britain, and the determination of the Executive, for good and sufficient reasons, to dismiss Mr. Crampton and tho British Consuls nt New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati. The gen eral view which the President takes of the case, as presented by the letters of Lord Clar endon and Mr. Crampton, is thus stated : “ The unequivocal disclaimer by her Majes ty’s government of “any intention either to infringe the law or to disregard the policy, or not to respect the sovereign rights of the Uni ted States,” and their expression of regret “if, contrary to their intentions and to their reite rated directions, there lias been any infringe ment of the laws of the United States,” are satisfactory to the President. The ground of complaint, so far as respects her Majesty’s government, is thus removed. But the President extremely regrets that he cannot concur in Lord Clarendon’s favorable opinion of the conduct of some of her Majes ty’s officers who were, as this government be, lieved, and after clue consideration of all which has been offered in their defence, still believes, implicated in proceedings whieli were so clear ly an infringement of the laws and sovereign rights of this country. In respect to such of these officers and agents ns have no connexion with this government, it has nothing to ask from that of her Majesty ; hut the case is dif ferent in relation to Mr. Crampton, her Majes ty’s envoy extraordinary and minister pleni potentiary to this government, undthc consuls at New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati.— The President is gratified to perceive that her Majesty’s government would not have hesita ted to comply with tho request to withdraw these officers from their official positions if it had entertained the views here taken of their conduct in regard to recruitingcontrary to the laws and sovereign rights of the U. States.” Mr. Marcy then recapitulates and vindicates the evidence by which the guilt of Crampton and the Consuls has been established, lie de nounces the special pleading of Crampton, and his attempt to excuse liimself upon a mere quibble—by a nice distinction between enlisting soldiers for a foreign service on our territory, and inducing them to leave our territory and formally enlist at some con tiguous paint. In reference to the disputed question whether the latter proceeding is a violation of our statutes respecting neutrality, Mr. Marcy enunciates the following sound uxiom, which, wethink, might well have been declared and acted upon sooner, to the cutting off of much impertinent British advice and suggestion as to the scope and meaning of our own laws : “ I trust it will not be questioned that it be longs exclusively to this government and its judicial tribunals to give a construction to its municipal laws, and to determine what acts done within its jurisdiction are infringements of those laws. This is a matter which con cerns its internal administration, and it cannot allow the agents of any power to controvert that construction, and justify their conduct by a different interpretation of our laws, which virtually renders them ineffective for the pur poses intended.” Accepting Lord Clarendon’s assurance that neither Mr. Crampton nor any other British official was authorized to violate the neutrality laws of the United States, Mr. Marcy never theless shows that those laws were violated for months —that, although the courts of this country, as early as May 1855, decided the particular means used by the British agents to be illegal, they were still persisted in until Mr. Crampton gave the orders for their discon tinuance, on the sth of August. That the British Minister and the Consuls implicated were the directors and instigators of this con tinued disregard and contempt of our laws, Mr. Marcy does not regard as admitting of a doubt. He shows that Mr. Crampton conceal ed the whole plot and its workings from him, notwithstanding Lord Clarendon’s declaration that “he was commanded to practice no con cealment with the American Government on the subject;” and in view of his unauthorized proceedings—in which ho was aided and sec onded by the Consuls at Philadelphia, Cincin nati and New York—our Government considers that further intercourse between the two na tions through him would be “alike unpleasant and detrimental to their good understanding.” Mr. Marcy therefore announces iu conclusion, that the President “has determined to send to Mr. Crampton, ller Majesty’s diplomatic rep resentative, his passport, and to revoke the ex equaturs to Mr. Mathew, Mr. Barclay and Mr. ltowcroft, the British Consuls at Philadelphia, New York ami Cincinnati.” Nicaragua Emigration Society. We see by tlie last Tnladega, (Ala.,) Watch man, that a Nicaragua Emigrating Society has been formed in that county, which already numbers fifty members. At their head is Capt. Jacob 1). Shelley, an old In dian tighter, who was with Gen. Jackson in the Creek War, and who now resides on tlu> field where the battle was fought iu which old Hickory won his first laurels. Capt. S. also led a company to Mexico in the Alabama Re giment. There appears to be an abundance of enthusiasm among the Talladegans on the subject, and the Captain is likely to go out with a crowd of emigrants who will make their mark should occasion occur. Success to the enterprise. Old Line Whigs. “ Ion,” the intelligent Washington corres pondent of the Baltimore Sun says: “The old line whigs aro seriously engaged in a renewal of their national organization, and will hold a convention, some time in July, for the assertion of their principles, and for uniting their force upon the least objectiona ble candidate for the Presidency who may be presented by other political conventions. If they take this course, they will exert a power ful influence upon the election, and also upon the administration, which, by their aid, may be brought into power.” Steamer Leona. A now light draft Steamboat, bearing the above name, has recently made her appearance ou the Alabama river. She is to be commanded by Captain Luke Wainright, and is to take the place of the Henry J. King, as a Summer packet. Something about NigKerdom. The Black Republican New York State Con vention was held at Syracuse on Wednesday. Delegates and Alternates at large, and Cen- CHbioiml District Delegates, were chosen to represent the State in the Philadelphia Con vention. Two-thirds Were said to be decided ly for the nomination of Col. Fremont, pro vided Mr. Seward’s name is not before the Convention. A long list of resolutions were read by Horace Greeley, and adopted, denounc ing the Border Ruffians, Mr. Herbert’s slaugh ter of the Irish waiter, and Col. Brooks’ at tack on Senator Sumner. A Mr. Riddle pro posed another resolution denouncing Mr. Rust for his assault upon Horace Greeley, and re solving that the time had arrived when free men mu-t defend editors and representatives —“jieaceahly if they can, forcibly if they must.” Several speeches were made, and the Convention then adjourned sine die. On the same day the New Jersey State Con vention of the ebony party assembled at Tren ton. Delegates were appointed in as thepre vious case, and resolutions of a milder nature than those offered at Syracuse were passed, — The wounds of the Irish waiter, the Yankee editor, and the Yankee Senator, were opened anew in speeches by Senators Wilson and John P. Hale and Gen. N'ye. The latter worthy said he would strike hands with the devil to defeat this Administration, but after that, he would say, “Mr. Devil, I will have a squad drill with you; you must mend your morals.” He was particularly severe on President Pierce for not having visited the sick room of Mr. Sumner, and said the Foreign Ministers had been there to pour oil into his wounds. Sena tor Wilson declared that the South had com bined to bring the freemen of the North into the same condition as their own slaves. The favorite nominee of these men was not named, but we conclude from Gen. Nye’s words, that “Mr. Devil” stands the best chance with this black company, provided he will consent to run for them ; but we suspect that Mr. Devil is surer of having them than they are of en gaging him ; in this, however, we may be mis taken, as the report says the Convention broke up “with hopes brightening in the future.”— Augusta Citron. From tlie Charleston Mercury. Kansas. We have been allowed to condense the fol lowing information from a private letter, by a gentleman of this city, now in Kansas, to a friend here: Calhoun Camp, j Lecompton, K. TANARUS., May 13, 1856. j “We are encamped within eight miles of Lawrence, three from Lecompton, and forty eight from Atchison : will remain till Satur day—are waiting for men and cannon; there are one hundred men here, fifteen horses, ten tents, eight oxen, four wagons. [By the way tiie South Carolina Rifles are part of this force, the organization of which this paper noticed a clay or two ago.] When it was or ganised, Mr. Brewster, who led the first party, was absent on a surveying party, and it was not known when he would be back. When he returned lie fell into line as a private, and was immediately appointed sec ond sergeant. When introduced to Governor Shannon he was appointed Quarter Master of Third Regiment of Infantry, Kansas Militia, and his friends hope soon to see him Lieuten ant Colonel of his regiment. Tho letter from which we are quoting then goes on to say : “ A detachment of thirteen horsemen has just left camp for Lawrence as spies. Robin son wo leave at Lexington a prisoner. Reed er has made efforts to escape. We are told the freesoilers at Lawrenee are going to make a hard fight. If they will give us a few hours more we will be ready. I suppose you Lave seen the proclamation of the United States Marshal. He is bringing about things well. I look fora rough time on Monday next. One of our men was shot this morning in the head, accidentally, by young Fredericks; but the ball has been extracted and be is doing well. Most of the rifles areCarolians—the remaind er Georgians and Alabamians. By Sunday we will have 1000 men, aud from 7to 12 pieces of artillery. We will require this, for they are at work at Lawrence. “We were three days in crossing the Grass Hopper and Kansas rivers—no boat, simj'. a raft. Sunday afternoon, in a violent storm, one of the wagons and several of the men went overboard. After some difficulty we suc ceeded in getting them out. lam writting on the ground, so you cannot expect much in the way of penmanship. On Friday next we ex pect to move to camp within a mile of Law rence. The country looks charming— the green fields, beautiful flowers, cool streams and gentle breezes, and where we are now encamp ed, the scenery is perfectly picturesque. We are living well. The Fredericks and Felders have their negroes witli them, all excellent cooks—their rice aud beef steaks arc indeed fine.” So the soldier’s letter ends. Although he lias an eye for the beautiful, he is a true sol dier, and does not forget his tribute to the rice and beef steaks. We have been permitted to present tho fol lowing letter of an earlier date than the above, and from a different place, which is now in teresting chiefly as indicating the spirit of our I'almcto representatives in Kansas. The let ter refers to emigrants from Orangeburg Dis trict and that region of the State: Atchison, K. TANARUS., May 8, 180(1. 1 merely have time to inform you that we are all well War has commenced in the Ter ritory in real earnest. We all leave this morn ing for the scene of action. A. Y. F. and Sam F. have been removed on a picket guard one hundred miles distant from myself and Alf. F. We are placed in front to make the attack on Lawrence city. It is likely we may be under a heavy lire for some time. A considerable number have been killed ou botli sides already. I have no doubt there will be much blood spilt on botli sides in this struggle. Wo will never give it up. Our motto is, “ Kansas shall be a pro-slavery State, or we die.” I have no time to write more. The cry is, j to arms, and 1 am oft’ to the battle-field. Good by tor a while, perhaps for ever. My respects to all. Yours, Frank F. ♦ Georgia and Florida Rail Road. The Albany Patriot statss that the Georgia and Florida Rail Road company, have con cluded an arrangement with Messrs, l’adel tord, Fay & Cos., of Savannah, for the pur chase of 800 tons of the most approved T rail, and the necessary quantity of chairs and spikes tor the same. The order went forward by the steamer of the 21st ult. and will proba bly be delivered in Savannah by the Ist c.f October. 1 his will enable the company to carry the road from Amerieus to within 24 miles of Albany in time for the next crop. TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS. The South American Difficulty. Washington, May 30.-—The President in bis message yesterday to the Senute on Central American affairs, enclosed a letter from Mr. Marcy to Mr. Dallas, dated the 24th instant, which reviews Great Britain’s pretensions, and says that the President rather than submit to its obligations without any reciprocal benefits, would deem it his duty to propose to Congress the annulment of the Treaty. He was willing, however, to refer all questions embracing the rightful limits of Belize, the Bay Islands and Mosquito territory to the decission of eminent men of science in Europe and America, and instructs Mr. Dallas to ascertain whether the differences can be promptly terminated by di rect negotiations, nnd if not, to discuss condi- arbitration; the points of difference, which by this method seems required and ap plicable, being assumed; the other points of difference would afterwards yield to discus sion. The conferences between Mr. Dallas and Lord Clarendon have, it is stated, been conducted in a spirit of cordiality and frank ness. Gulf Squadron Ordered to Grey town. New York. May 31.*—The U. S. M. steam ship Empire City lias arrived at this port, having left Havana on Monday, the 2Gth inst. The steam fr gate Susquehanna arrived at Havana on Monday, and was to sail for Key West the same evening. The steamers Sasque lianna and Fulton and sloops-of-war Cyane and Saratoga were to proceed directly to Greytowu. Further from Kansas. St. Louis, May 30.—The correspondent of the Republican of this city says that eight pro-slavery settlers at Potawatomie Creek had been killed by an organized band of F’ree State men. The other settlers had asked Gov. Shannon for aid. All wa quiet at Lawrence, Lecompton, and Franklin. Ex-Gov. Reeder a Conspirator—Emigrants Returning. St. Louis, May 81.—Col. Eldridge has ar rived in this city from Lawrence, K. T. en route for the East, to demand damages of the Government for destruction of property in Lawrence. Ex-Governor Reeder escaped down the Mis sissippi River as deck-hand on board a steam er, landed at St. Charles, passed into Illinois, nnd thus reached Chicago. His trunks are left at Atchison, aud it is said that they con tained letters from parties in the East, involv ing him in a conspiracy against the Govern ment. Many Kansas emigrants have arrived in this city, on their way East. Markets. New Orleans, May 30.—Cotton is dull, and the lower qualities are feeble. Friday’s sales comprised 2000 bales, at unchanged quota tions. Tho sales of the week reach 20,000 bales, and the receipts 11,000. The increase in re ceipts over those of last year is 534,000 bales, and the stock in the market is 156,000 bales —the stock at the same time last year was 57,000 bales. 10,000 bags of Coffee have been sold at 10! cents per lb. for prime. Corn has declined at 58c per bushel. New Orleans, May 31—Cotton is in de mand but scarce. 2000 bales have been sold at unchanged prices. Sugar is quoted Bc. per lb. Other quota tions are unchanged. New York, May 31.—Cotton is firm, and to-day’s sales reached 1,000 bales. Orleans Middling is quoted at 11c. and Uplands at lOfc. Flour lias declined, at $6.80 per barrel for Ohio. Wheat is unsettled, and Corn is unsettled at 58c. per bushel. Freights firm. Correspondence of the Charleston Standard. Washington, Muy 30th, 1860. The Senate's report in the Sumner case was received by the House yesterday, and referred to the Special Committee, which is expected to report on Monday. There will be two re ports from this Committee—the majority and minority—the former recommending Colonel Brooks’ expulsion from Congress, and the lat ter stating that the affair involves no privilege of the House, and comes not within its juris diction. It will be observed that the Senate report does not pronounce the assault a breach ot its principles, nor does that body make any complaint to the House of Representatives. The report only states the facts, and refers the matter without comment to the House, saying the Senate has no jurisdiction of the case. This, it seems to us, disposes of the whole matter—for ail the House can do legiti mately is to act upon the report from the Sen ate. If the Senate do not consider its privi leges violated, is it for the House to instruct that body in its constitutional rights? And if the Senate makes no complaint, can the House become its “ next lriend,” aud file a complaint for it ? Yet the negro worshippers will take the guardianship of the Senate, and aim to punish Brooks by expulsion, and the effort will fall. I lie report that Col. Brooks had challenged Senator Wilson is true, as is also the fact that Mr. Wilson declined the honor of a meeting, alleging that such a meeting would be a “vio lation of the laws of the land and of his own natural convictions.” And yet, Mr. Webb in his letter to the New York Courier and Enqui rer, says Mr. Wilson is a “fighting man.” The Northern press is busy circulating the report that Mr. Sumner was seriously ill from his flogging. Not one word of truth in it. A gentleman who saw him this morning, says he appeared entirely easy—though his head was still ve ry sore. M. M. Miller, of Pleasant Run, Dallas county, Texas, gives an account of a terrible tarnado that took place there on the 13th ult. The tarnado blew from the south, aud com menced about an hour before sunset. Mr. Miller was himself absent from home. He says that every middling of bacon he had was carried away, and not a vestige left. His partner was killed, also his clerk, and a wo man and two children, making five lives lost on his premises. There were four other per sons killed in tho immediate neighborhood, making nine in all, and six or eight wounded. Bome ot his goods were carried a distance of titty miles , and one of the children was found dead half a mile distant from the house.— This tornado extended abont sixteen miles. North and South, being from 200 to 300 yards in width. Over this tract the tornado swept, carrying away or prostrating every thing in its course; killing horses, cattle, hogs nnd other animals. —Atlanta Intelligtnecr. The Selma (Ala.) Sentinel, says a man whose name we have not b?en able to learr, was arrested near to Columbiana, Shelby coun ty, on Monday night and committed to the jail of the county, on a charge of committing a murder a few months ngo. in the northern part of Georgia.
