COLTJMBXJS: 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. TELEGRAPHIC. DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. Contest between Buchanan and Douglass.

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 day by majorities ranging from one thousand to fifteen hundred. Riot, bloodshed and thug gery were rampant. Two persons were killed, one mortally wounded, three dangerously and seven badly. Mr. Trepagnier, the Clerk in the First District, was severely wounded.

New York, June 2. —The cotton market is unchanged. Sales to-day 1500 bales. 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.— Richmond Dispatch.
