TUnritday Morning, June 5, 1850.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
Fire in Opelika.
We learn verbally, a fire occurred in Ope
lika, Ala., yesterday morning, which destroy
ed the hotel and adjacent buildings. The
hotel, it is said, was insured.
Mobile and Ohio Bail Road.
We see by an advertisement in the last
Montgomery Advertiser, which we copy below,
that this company has failed to avail itself of
the act of the last Legislature of Alabama, to
extend the loan made to the company two
years previous, and also to otherwise meet its
obligations to the State, and that in conse
quence of this failure the Comptroller and
Treasurer have taken steps to foreclose the
mortgage.
The cause of this failure has not been made
public.
Whereas, the Mobile and Ohio Rail Road
Company has failed to pay, according to law,
to the State of Alabama, the sum of Four Hun
dred Thousand Dollars, loaned by said State
to said Company under and b y virtue of an
act entitled “ An act to aid the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad Company,” approved February
17th, 1864, or to renew or extend said loan ac
cording to the acts of 1850-’56.
Now, therefore, by virtue of a mortgage ex
ecuted on the 28th day of March, 1854, to Joel
Riggs, Comptroller, ami William Graham,
Treasurer, of said State, and their successors
in office, as Trustees, by Sidney Smith, Presi
dent, and A. F. Irwin, Secretary of said Mo
bile and Ohio Rail Road Company, to which
said mortgage the seal of said Company is also
attached, we, the undersigned, William J.
Greene, Comptroller of Public Accounts, (suc
cessor to said Joel Riggs,) and William Gra
ham, Treasurer of said State, acting as Trus
tees, will, in obedience to instructions given
us by His Exce lencyJohn A. Winston, Gov
ernor of said State, proceed, on Monday, the
fourth day of August, 1850, (and from day to
dny,) to sell, at public auction, in front of the
Court House in the city of Montgomery, to the
highest bidder, for cash, the first mortgage
bonds of said Company, numbered as lollows,
viz: Twenty-seven hundred and fifty-one
(2751) to thirty-three hundred andfifty (3350)
inclusive—amounting to six hundred thousand
dollars, or as many of them as may be neces
sary to pay said debt and interest. Said Ronds
are for two hundred and twenty-five pounds
sterling (or one thousand dollars) each, issued
the Ist September, 1853, payable at the Count
ing Houso of Geo. Peabody & Cos., London, on
the Ist November, 1853, bearing interest at
six per cent per annum, with Coupons attach
ed, payable semi-annually from the date of is
suance

Power of tho Moon at Might.
Mr. Crane, in his letter from the East, has
observed:
“ Tho effect of tho moonlight on tho eyes
in this country (Egypt) is singularly injurious.
The natives tell you, as I afterwards found
they did in Arabia, to always cover your eyes
when you sleep in the open air. It is rather
strange that the passage in the Psalms— 1 The
sun shall not smite thee by day nor moon by
night,—should have been thus illustrated, as
the allusion seems to direct. The moon here
really strikes and effects tho sight, when you
are exposed to it, much more than tho sun, a
fact of which 1 had a very unpleasant proof one
night, and took care to guard against after
wards. Indeed, the sight of a person who
should sleep with his face exposed at night,
would soon be impaired or utterly destroyed.”

Death of Bov. Alexander McCaine.
This venerable man, able logician, and erru
dito theologian, formerly of Talladega county,
Alabama, expired in the city of Augusta on
Sunday night last. The Montgomery Mail,
noticing his death, says:
‘‘Mr. McCaine was the founder of the Meth
odist Protestant Church, aud his vigorous
pen has sustained it from infancy almost up to
the present day. He was a man of great phys
ical and intellectual power, and when we last
saw hint (a few months since,) though bodily
infirmity was stealing upon him, his mind was
active and powerful as ever.
“ Mr. MoCaino was born in Ireland, but
came to this country when he was little, if at
all, over twenty years of age. He early became
a minister of the gospel, and was probably
among the very first Methodist preachers, who
visited Western Georgia. He preached, (we
recollect his tolling us,) at what is now the
city of Athens, (la., before the town was
thought of. He must have been at his death
somewhere near eighty-five years of age—a
long, long life devoted to pious and useful
works. He died at tho homo of his ouly
daughter, and was attended in his last mo
ments, by Rev. 8. F. Norton, of this place, to
whom he always expected to confide a literary
executorship.”
A Chicago paper gives tho following instance
of sharp financiering in that city, between a
merchant anil a bank President:
“One day this week a prominent business
man presented a note of one thousand two hun
dred dollars, running sixty days, at thecounter
of the —— bank for and scount. The President,
after examining the note, and admitting its
being first class paper, decided that the hank
was hard up, overexpanded, .Sic., and it was
impossible to ‘do’ the paper. The merchant
was hard up, and endeavored to reason the
President into compliance, hut to no purpose.
*• At last however, a bright idea seemed to
have given the President a hard rap over the
sconce, and he suggested that his friend, a
broker, not living a thousand miles from the
bank, might buy the note. Down went the
merchant to tho man of mammon No. 2. The
latter would like tho note, and as it was ‘ANo.
I’paper, would deduct from his usual rates,
and do the thing at 2 pe v cent a month to give
him cash in hand one thousand one hundred
and fifty dollars. In vain the merchant pro
tested against the shave, hut the broker was
inexorable. The man of business, however,
was not quite so hard up as the man of mam
mon supposed, and left the shop determined
uot to stand any such fleecing.
“ While fumbling over the note and rumin
ating on his chances to raise the cash, he espied
three letters in fine pencil mark at one corner
of the note. An examination satisfied him
that those letters were the President’s initials,
and had been placed thereby that functionary
as a private signal to the broker; and, walk
ing back to tbe bank, ho boldly presented the
note to the teller for discount, who, recognis
ing the private signal, discounted it at legal
rates, and the merchant inarched off h ighly
gratified at the success of his scheme. Our
informant says there was some tall pray
ing by both President and broker, and that
hcroaftar notes for shaving and notes for dis
counting will bear different and distinguisha
ble signals.”
The Central American Difficulty.
The Message of the President sent to the
.Senate of the United States on Thursday last,
merely enclosed the letter of Mr. Marcy to Mr.
Dallas, dated the 24th ult., on the subject of
the difference of opinion between tho Govern
ment of Great liritain and that of the United
Utates, respecting the construction and effect
of the Convention of the 14th of April, 1850,
and the subject of Central America generally.
The letter entire would more than fill our
space for one day. The following synopsis,
however, gives the main ground taken:
There has been no direct communication be
tween the two governments on the main sub
ject since the letter of Mr. Buchanan to Mr.
Clarendon, in September last, his Lordship’s
reply on tho 28th of the same month, and the
brief rejoinder of Mr. Buchanan on the 4th of
the following October. The President, it ap
pears, would have been better satisfied if, in
expressing the conviction that all obstacles to
a satisfactory adjustment of the controversy
might with a conciliatory spirit on both sides
be overcome, Lord Clarendon had been pleas
ed to indicato the means which in his judg
ment were calculated to produce so favorable
a consuination. For want of this the Presi
dent was left to conjecture the precise idea of
Her Majesty’s Government. He could not be
certain his conjecture concerning it was well
founded; but he was induced by certain col
lateral accidents which have occurred to infer
it was by no arbitration by a third power of
the difference between the two governments
relative to Central America.
Mr. Marcy says it would be superfluous to
dwell on the regret which the President enter
tains that a proposition of this nature, which
Her Majesty’s government intended as a final
one, and was not presented at the commence
ment, and in such a shape as to have attracted
to and fixed upon it the attention of this gov
ernment. Lord Clarendon seems to assume
that the difference between tbe two countries
is merely of tbe interpretation of the conven
tion of 1850. But it is not so understood by
this government, which does not understand
that at tho date of the treaty Great Britain
had any possessions or occupied any territory
in Central America, unless the British estab
lishment at tho Balize, with its dependencies,
as the same are defined by her treaties with
Spain, arc to be considered as British posses
sions in Central America. That is the only
possible construction of the declarations ex
changed between Messrs. Clayton and Bulwer
at tho time of exchanging the ratifications of
the convention.
After reviewing Great Britain’s pretensions,
Mr. Marcy says: And if it is now contended
by the British government that in the name of
the Mosquito Indians Great Britain may take
with a military force and hold San Juan Nica
ragna, or any other point in Central America,
such pretensions would bo totally irreconcila
ble witli all ideas of the independence or neu
trality of the Isthmus as to render the con
vention worse than nugatory to the United
States. Instead of submitting to arbitration
pretensions involving such consequences, or
in any other way consenting to restore effect
to the treaty with such possible construction,
it would in the judgment of the President,
be his duty to propose its annulment, so as to
release the United States from obligations not
attended I y any benefits; and which obliga
tions thus intentionally incur, they having en
tered into treaty upon the supposition that ab
solute reciprocity of restriction was incurred
by Great Britain.
The President says he cannot do anything
which could be taken to admit, either directly
or impliedly, that there is a question in his
mind relative to the true construction of that
convention, and ho feels bound to take care
that in entertaining the proposition of arbitra
tion, he shall not bo understood as actuated
by the slighest feeling of distrust regarding
treaty rights of the United States. But the
President is not prepared to say that some of
tho questions in fact concerning which the two
governments differ may not be conveniently
determined by arbitration, or by some anala
gous method. Os this class of objects of in
quiry, is the questions: What are the rightful
limits of the establishment at the Balize on
the side of the State of Honduras? The ques
tion whether the Bay Islands do or do not be
long to that Republic, and the question : What
extent of country is embraced in the term
Mosquito coast, or is tbe actual occupancy of
the mosquito Indians, or considered as Indians,
and with such territorial rights only as that
description of persons are entitled to claim,
according to tbe established public law of
Great Britain and of the United States, and of
Spain, or of the Independent States which
have succeeded in Spain and America, remem
bering that no power exists on the part of
Great Britain and the United States to dispose
of the sovereign rights of Nicarogua or any
other State of Central America ?
Mr. Marcy concludes as follows: All these
questions of political geography, regard in the
first instance the sovereignty and jurisdiction
of the independent States of Central America.
Great Britain and the United States had no
pretensions thus to intervene, except for tho
purposes of defining their own mutual obliga
tions arising out of engagements they may
have contracted in order to insure, as far as
they are concerned, the neutrality and inde
pendence of the American Isthmus. Regarded
only as collateral considerations, nffecting the
construction of a treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, these are the ques
tions, which, if not determined by agreement
of the two countries themselves, the President
will not decline to refer to arbitration. Aware
many practicable obstacles to the adjustment
of any international differences of this nature
by arbitration, of tbe difficulties between
Great Britain and the United States, and ex
perience in the attempt to settle by such
means a previous controversy on the subject
of the boundary between the United States and
the British Provinces in North America, the
President does not doubt that any one of the
Powers of Europe which should consent to
undertake the task of such arbitration as now
proposed would perform the duty with perfect
impartiality. But to npply to auy power to
do this would be to ask of it an act which, if
granted, would add to our own domestic duties
the labors and burden of settling the compli
cated differences of other governments. He
would greatly prefer that, in a controversy
like the present, turning on points of political
geography, the matter should be referred to
someone or more of those eminent men of
science who do honor to the intellect of Eu
rope and America, and who, with the previous
consent of their respective governments, might
well undertake the task of determining such
questions to the acccptaucos, as well of Her
Majesty’s government as of the United States.
\ou are instructed, therefore, to enter into
communication with Her Majesty’s principal
secretary for foreigu affairs, in relation to
| Central America, in order to ascertain, in the
’ first place, whether the existing differences
cannot be promptly terminated by direct nego
tiation, and if it cannot, then discuss the con
ditions or arbitration on those points of differ
ence as to which alone this method of settle
ment seems requisite or applicable, it being
assumed that the other points of difference
would, after that, yield as of course to the
conference between the Earl of Clarendon and
yourself, conducted in a spirit of cordiality
and frankness which belongs to your personal
relations, and dictated by the true interests
both by the United States and Great Britain.
WM. L. MARCY.
Climate, Froducta and Mind—North and
and South. ,
In the June number of Deßow’s Review,
Dr. E. H. Barton, of New Orleans, has pub
lished a very full and able paper upon this
subject. The following extract exposes some
popular fallacies:
“ Instead of weakening us, us alleged, slave
ry adds greatly to our military strength as a
nation.. All warlike countries have been slave
States. It furnishes the sinews by which war
is supported. While other nations absolutely
requires from five to eight men to carry on in
dustrial pursuits to maintain one in the field,
nearly our whole white male population, al
ready trained to arms and warlike pursuits
in a degree far exceeding that of any other
people, is ready for defensive or offensive war;
and neither our brethren north of us nor any
other nation, can furnish a similar example of
proud independence.
“The South is accused of weakness, indo
lence, and effeminacy. The strongest and
largest animals known to man have their na
tivities, their homes in the South. No North
ern man has a physical strength or physical
endurance superior to the Kroomen on the
coast African, nor can bear a greater burden
than the Mexican; and in relation to our own
Country, I have before referred to the physi
cal perfection and intellectual superiority of
the natives in the elevated parts of the South
ern States. The comparison with any people
will hold good if applied to any portion of
them. Indolence does not belong to tbe Anglo-
Saxon race, however it may attach to others,
and finds its refutation in every page of our
history and on every acre of our territory.
And the accusation of effeminacy is a slander
that finds its answer in every field of our
country’s victories, and on the deck of every
naval battle, where the prowess of America has
shed its blood for the rights of man.
“In nothing, then, need the South shrink in
comparison with the Northetn portion of this
Union. Not only has it been built up and en
riched by the products of Southern industry,
but some of the principal nations of the world
are dependent on the Southern States, not on
ly for commercial but their social existence
and stability. Here, in fact, resides the goose
which lays the golden eggs ; here is the foun
tain which originates the wealth of modern
nations. Her merchants, her manufactures,
her shipping, her seamen, all derive employ
ment find wealth from these much slandered
Southern States. A herricane, or a late or
early frost that destroys the cotton crop of a
considerable portion of the South, is felt in
all tbe markets of the world to the extremest
range of civilization. Drought or floods, which
materially injure the cereal crop, cause gaunt
famine to star millions in the face, and be
comes the harbinger of frightful pestilence.
“ Nor are there any sound grounds for the
opinion that the South is not susceptable of a
dense population as the North. The capacity
to sustain a large population depends upon the
productiveness of the soil for those articles
which are necessary to support human life.
TLis has been shown by the extensive preva
lence of its capacity to produce every species
of the cerealia in such eminent prefusion ;
and the question might be safely left here.
But there is scarcely an article that nourishes
man which is not more easily and abundantly
produced in the South than in the North In
the more Southern portion, where two crops
of grain (as before said) can be produced
every year on the same soil, and garden veget
ables and fruit in the most abundance, they
do not always exist of the same quality in the
South as at the North, merely because we are
not compelled to exercise the same care in
their cultivation for a livelihood, and because
the larger and more important staples are
more profitable, and we have not to depend
for sustenance or comfort for the minor pro
ductions, as those in less favored regions.
“In the South we are comparatively free
from certain disagreements, no bigotry, no ri
diculous humbugs about woman’s rights, false
philanthopy or pseudo religion ; each attends
to his own business, and is contented under
blessings a kind Providence showers upon us
in such exhaustless profusion.
“If, then, we campare the soil and produc
tions, agricultural and mineral, the climate
and salubrity, the scenery, the comforts and
refinements of life which give it a charm, the
intellectual and moral qualities which give el
evation in the scale of high civilization, those
which produce its wealth and those which as
sure its dependence, we have no reason to com
plain.”
Columbus.
Os the growth and importance of this city
we had heard much within the last few years.
Fifteen years had passed since we had seen
Columbus. She had then hardly the sem
blance of a city, and was without railroads or
the manufacturing establishments which now
give her notoriety. Last week we visited it,
and cannot withhold an expression of gratifi
cation at her present greatly improved ap
pearance and her still brighter prospects.—
She is a handsome city, and her suburbs beau
tiful. Her resources have been developed by
the energy aud enterprize of a few of her lead
ing men, aud by none in a more pre-eminent
degree than our former fellow citizen, John
H. Howard, Esq. To his indomitable energy
and perseverance in overcoming apparently
insurmountable obstacles, Columbus is indeb
ted mostly for her superior waterpower which
now drives the looms of her cotton factories,
and so successfully grinds the grain of her
mills, aud in each and all comparing favorably
with the best establishments of the kind in the
c lUntry. Nor is that all. His energy has
been felt in the undertaking and successful
completion of her railroads, thereby swelling
the receipts of cotton the present season over
the past, forty thousand bales, necessarily
giving new life and impetus to every thing.
There is uow in progress a third railroad to
Columbus, the Girard aud Mobile—thus open
ing another fruitful source of revenue—which
will throw at least one hundred thousand more
bales of cotton annually into her market. But
enough. Her future no doubt is still brigh
ter, and her friends may well be sanguine in
their predictions of her increasing prosperity.
Milledgevillt Recorder.
The Green-Eyed Monster.
A newly married couple arrived in Boston
r e ntl y. a “d took lodgings at one of fashion
able hotels, to pass away that propitious sea
son alas! too brief—known as the honey
moon. Their happiness was the cause of envy
among many, for not a cloud appeared to
overshadow the enjoyment of the passing hours,
until the doctor was sent for in great haste,
to relieve the lady of a dose of laudnum, which
threatened to terminate her life. The skill of
the doctor saved the wife, and after the bride
returned to consciousness, she was asked what
motive could have induced her to commit such
a rash and wicked act ? She replied : “ I saw
a lady wink at my husband at the table, and
I didn’t want to live.

New Orleans Charter Election.
New Orleans, June 2.—Chas. M. Water
man, the Know Nothing candidate for Mayor,
and the entire American ticket for Aldermen,
Recorders, Comptroller, &c., were elected to

New York, June 2. —The cotton market is

Washington, June 2.—Hon. P. S. Brooks
has sent a letter of apology to the Senate, dis
claiming any purpose to infract its privileges
or offend its dignity, in the recent affair with
Mr. Sumner.
The House committee reported a resolution
to expel Mr. Brooks, and also censured Messrs.
Keitt and Edmondson for not interfering when
they knew Mr. Brooks’ design. Mr. Cobb, of
Georgia, presented a minority report, deny
ing that a breach of privilege under the Con
stitution had been committed.
Point of Honor Settled.
On the morning of the2d inst., a party from
Montgomery, Ala., arrived in this city, for the
purpose of settling a point of houor. Mr. H.
Hudson and his friends arrived on the night
train and stopped at the Perry House. Mr.
George W. Lyman and his friends arrived at
noon. On the affidavit of V. R. Tommey, of
this city, a warrant was issued for the arrest
of the parties. No sooner did the second par
ty set foot on our soil than the Deputy Sheriff,
Brooks, arrested Mr. George W. Lyman and
B. L. Posey. At the request of the parties
arrested, they were carried before Judge Bull,
who was presiding in place of Judge Worrell.
His honor, however, refused to hear the case,
holding that the Magistrate was fully compe
tent to determine the matter. A writ of habeas
corpus was then sued out and granted by
Judge Bull as to Mr. Posey, whose name was
not included in the affidavit on which the war
rant was issued, but refused as to Mr. Lyman,
who appeared before Justice McKendree, and
there being no evidence to sustain the war
rant, was discharged. Mr. Hudson avoided
arrest by going over to Girard, Ala., as soon
as notice of the issuance of the warrant reach
ed him. During the afternoon a meeting was
agreed upon for Tuesday morning, but was
prevented by the interposition of a party of
friends from Montgomery, who reached this
city in time to prevent the shedding of blood,
by an amicable arrangement honorable to both
parties.— Times § Sentinel.
Honor to Preston S. Brooks.
There may be seen at Willard’s Jewelry
Btore, a splendid cane, which a number of gen
tlemen of this city design presenting to Hon.
Preston S. Brooks, as a testimonial of their
consideration. The cane is of curled hickory,
mounted with massive gold. On the head is a
coiled serpent encircled with the inscription,
“To Preston S. Brooks, from many friends in
Columbus, Ga.—Revilers Beware.” On one
side is the coat of arms of the State of South
Carolina, and on the other the coat of arms of
the State of Georgia.
The work was executed by A. Ingmire, of
this city, in the most exquisite style.
Puritan Origin of the Fugitive Slave Law.
The Boston Courier gives the following bit
of history, from which it appears that the
practice of restoring fugitives from service
had its orgin among the old Puritans :
“It may interest the readers of these pa
pers as a piece of curious antiquarian his
tory, to know the origin of the practice of re
storing fugitives from service. In the articles
of confederation between the United Colonies
of New England—namely, Massachusetts,
New Plymouth, Connecticut, New Haven &c.,
made in 1643, and made, as the preamble de
clares, by those who “all come into these parts
of America with one and the same end and aim,
namely, to advance the kindorn of the Lord
Jesus Christ and to enjoy the liberties of the
Gospel in purity with peace—there is the fol
lowing provision: “It is also agreed that if
any servant run away from his master into
any confederate jurisdiction, in such case,
upon certificate from one magistrate in the ju
risdiction out of which the servant fled, or
upon other due proof, the said servant shall
be delivered to his master, or any other that
pursues and brings such certificate or proof.
It thus appears, says the Courier, that the
rendition of fugitives from service in this
country commenced more than two hundred
years ago, aud, what is remarkable, the mode
of proof precribed by the agreement of tbe
Colonies is precisely analogous to one of the
modes provided by the act of 1850; the only
difference between them is the more elevated
character of the tribunal ‘in the justification
out of which the servant fled,’ before which
the proof is now made, and the greater cau
tion in tho proceedings. It is presumed that
tho subject ot this compact between tbe Colo
nies were rather white servants and appren
tices than negro slaves, who in 1643 were
probably very few in number. It was very
common in those early times, more than at
present, for master mechanics to take inden
tured apprentices, who, if they absconded,
were (and now are) liable to be arrested and
returned to tbeir masters, as persons held to
labor or service in tbe State whence they fled.
The same rule now prevails in regard to
white fugitives which was adopted by the
early Puritans, and is applied by the fugitive
slave law to fugitive slaves. Yet the Aboli
tionists would see the Union dissolved rather
than apply the same rule to runaway blacks
to which runaway white men are subjected.—
