COLUMBUS: Friday Morning, Juur 6, 1850. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. High Price of Negroes, We wituessed the refusal, a few days ago, at the negro mart of Harrison & McGekeo, in this city, of $llOO for a negro boy not over 1 2 years of age. Columbus Cotton Market, We heard yesterday of a few transactions in cotton. I’rices ranged from 9J to 10c. for Middling to Good Middling. The stock, is being shipped off freelj both by river and rail road. Stock on hand supposed not to exceed 4,000 bales. The Milledgeville Southern Recorder of the 3<l inst., states that a protracted meeting in the Methodist Episcopal Church in that city for three weeks past, has just been brought to a close. Much interest in it throughout has been manifested. Retween eighty and ninety persons attached themselves to the church. The Power of the Press. The Costa Ricans attribute their failure and repulse in Nicaragua chiefly to a smnll priuting press which Wulker carried with him as a part of his munitions of war, and which, they say, constantly turned out proclamations and bul letins announcing his successes and arousing the native population against them. They bad no weapon to counteract this subtle and potent agent of war—no engine of death that could influence public opinion and stir men’s hearts like this. Vain wore all their efforts to get possession of the press—it was guarded and defended as the Palladium of the Nicaraguan cause; and while this battery continued in play, unsilenced and unspiked, the successes and the overwhelming numerical superiority of the Costa Ricans were rendered of no avail— Walker possessed a wand that could change even disaster into victory untFcall up fresh and enthusiastic recruits at luh bidding. Truly, “ the pen is mighiter the an thsword"; and the press and the types are more terrible and effec tive even in war than the cannon and its iron hail. All hail to this peculiar American “in stitution ” and its triumphs in peace and in war! Abolition Philanthrophy. There are thousands of poor creatures (adults and children) in New York city, who glean u miserable support by daily scraping the streets of the city for scraps of dirty rags, bits of waste paper, &c., for which they get ono or two cents per pound, and thus manage to make a shilling a day. On the Hist ult., two of these wretched beings, a boy and a girl, got into a dispute about flic right to an old rag, and the boy severely stabbed the girl, who was taken to the hospital. The aboli tionists, who can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid the escape of Southern slaves from thoir masters, and to keep the “curse” of slavery out of Kansas, linvo no sympathy for the slaving, ignorant and depraved creatures at their doors, but ignore a condition of social destitution and misery which no Southern community could tolerate for u day ! —— The Quebec Steamor’s News. The India (telegraphed Indian) was the steamer from Liverpool which arrived on tho 2d inst. She is of the Liverpool and Quebec lino, and arrived at the latter port. The in telligence she brings is not important. The sales of cotton for the three days pre ceding her sailing (on the 21st ult.) amounted to 24,000 bales, at unchanged prices. Flour had declined Od. a Is. per bbl., and Wheat 3d. a Od. per bushel. Corn active at 30s. Od. per quarter of 480 lbs. for White, and 28s. Od. for Yellow. Trade at Manchester was dull. Consols 94 J. The Chancellor of the Exchequer estimated the British revenue for the current year at £67,000,000, and the deficiency at nearly £9,- 000,000. In the Uouso of Lords, Lord Clarendon, in reply to a question, said that the letter signed “ K. Hammond” (offering 2000 muskets to Costa Rica) was genuine. The agents of Cos ta Rica and other South American Govern ments had applied to England for assistance against Walker, proposing a protectorate, but the proposals lmd been rejected, lie further stated that be disapproved of the existing state of things in Nicaragua. A convention had been concluded between Turkey and the Western powers. The weather in England had been boister ous, and several wrecks had been reported. Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Though we believe the reports of the retreat of the Costa Ricans from Nicaragua to be true —indeed, if they are not true, falsehood lias been piled upon falsehood and forgery upon forgery, to an extent hitherto uuapproached— it may be proper to allude to contradictory ad vices given by the New York Courrierdes Utah Unis. That papei has assurances that Walk er was in u desperate position—that he had been compelled to evacuate Granada, his capi tal, and take refuge in the mountains, short of men and provisions. The Courtier is bitterly opposed to Walker, and it has undoubtedly been outrageously humbugged by false state ments, to which its prejudices made it too credulous. The news by theOriiaba complete ly upsets its information. Prom Kansas. A Chicago despatch, dated May 29th, says : Further advices from Kansas, sav that after burning the Free State Hotel, and Herald of fice, Gov. Robinson’s house was fired, but ex tinguished before entirely consumed. Sheriff Jones then dismissed the posse, who invaded the stores and dwellings, and demolished eve rything not removable. The post office was broken open and the let ters seized. All the houses of the Free Stato men were pillaged, except the Cincinuati House. Major Buford and Messrs. Stritigfellow and Atchison were conspicuous during the day. Gov. Shannon was abseut when the violence took place. Sheriff Jones’ posse left at sunset, having been informed that their service would be need ed next day. It is supposed the fire seen burning Wednes day night was Gov. Robinson’s houses. The Democratic National Convention. We have not received by our exchanges any intelligence from Cincinnati as late us our own dispatch ; but the fuller reports of some of the papers furnish some incidents and speculations of interest. We are not advised of any distinct proposi tion before the Convention to harmonize the differences between the two delegations from New York. It is telegraphed, however, that they lmd refused to adopt suggestions to com promise the matter between themselves; and the New York News (organ of the Hards) pub lishes dispatches of Sunday’s date announcing that the Hard delegation had an official meet ing and re-affirmed its determination to listen to no compromises with the Softs; also, that “the New Yorkers decline ull interference, and both sections are working to gain South ern support.” The Committee on Credentials reported in favor of the Anti-Renton delegates from Mis souri, and Gov. Price, who had by violence forced an entrance into the hall at the head of the Benton men, withdrew. The Mississippi delegation had resolved to insist on the adoption of a platform before making a nomination. It is estimated that the number of strangers in Cincinnati amounted to fully twenty thou sand ; and it is said that there were more per sons from Pennsylvania than from any other three States—all working for Buchanan. The “outside pressure” for Mr. Buchanan is by all accounts represented to he much greater than that brought to bear in favor of any other as pirant, and this fact goes far to depreciate the strength and magnitude of “official patronage and influence.” We do not yet fully understand the positions and relative prospects ot the respective candi dates. Gen. Pierce does not appear, from the reports that have reached us, to be sustained with any hope or enthusiasm by his friends— probably because of the general impression that he is “unavailable.” The Savannah Re publican publishes two dispatches—one, dated the 2d, stating that it was confidently asserted that Mr. Douglas had authorized the with drawal of his name, and that Buchanan would be nominated on the next day ; the other dated the 3d, announcing that “arrangements have been definitely agreed upon whereby Douglas yields to Buchanan, under the ‘ promise of a nomination in 18.(50.” [The first prediction did not “come oil’” as telegraphed, and we con sider the last statement rather absurd.] The telegraphic correspondent of the New York News thinks that the Pierce and Douglas delegates will finally unite on Mason, Rusk, or Hunter, to defeat Buchanan. Our advices from Washington as well as Cincinnati indicate a sensible appreciation of Buchanan stock within the last forty-eight hours. This implies not so much that Buchan an is popular as that Pierce and Douglas are felt to be odious and unavailable. “The par ty” begins to realize that the sack of Law rence and the beating of Bumner have fearful ly accelerated its downward movement in its fortunes, and that its doom is all but sealed. Hence the growing anxiety of the office-hold ers to evade the Nebraska issue by throwing political Jonahs overboard. We shall see how they succeed, and if they do, how far success in this will avail them in November. We take the above from the oditorial col umns of the Tribune, the Organ of the Black Republicans of New York. We shall learn probably to-day whether the South will desert Mr. Pierce for a nominee more acceptable to the Northern freosoil senti ment. If she does, what will she have to ex pect from future presidents? If faithfulness to the constitution and rights of the South is to be thus rewarded by the South, is it likely that any President will in future incur the odium of being faithful ? Mr. Pierce may not bo available for the reasons suggested by the Tribune, but it seems to us that the South should adhere to him all the more resolutely for that very reason. Both parties, the Americans and the Demo crats, profess to be national. It is but right that Northern men should, in tho present cri sis, prove their nationality by supporting na tional and constitional men. It would be bet ter for the South to be beaten with a candidate tried and faithful to the constitution, than to triumph in the election by an abandonment of of the vital principles involved in the Kansas Nebraska issue. We cannot understand why the caning of a foul-mouthed abolitionist, by Mr. Brooks, should effect Mr. Pierce’s prospects in the convention, though we see it stated that Bu chanan men claim that it has giveu them twenty votes.— Savannah Xrirs. ♦ - French View of Mr. Cranipton’s Dismissal. The Washington correspondent of the French paper of New York, supposed to represent the feeling of the French Minister, treats the dis missal of Mr. Crompton as a question of more gravity than we have attached to it. He writes as follows: “The blow will be so much the more keenly felt in England, as the last article of the Lon don journals indicate confidence that the dis patch of Lord Clarendon would be accepted bv the United States as a sufficient satisfaction. That disposition of the public mind assures to the ministry the support of Parliament and of public opinion, for all the measures it may think proper to take by way of reprisals. If Mr. Pierce and Mr. Marcy have counted on anything else, as is too probable, the disillu sion will not be long coming, and the re turn of Dallas will soon awaken them from their complacent error. „ Thursday, May 29, 8 P. M. * * Neither the concilliatory form which has per force been given to the response, nor the distinction established between the English Government and its agents, can sweet en the bitterness of the deed. None of that consideration displayed to Lord Clarendon has been shown to Mr. Crampton. The dispatch which announced the reason for his dismissal was not even communicated to hint. It was sent directly to London by yesterday’s steam er, nnd it was only after the departure of the steamer was officially kuown here, that his passports were oddresssed to him.” ■ —♦ Judge Bronson, of New \ork, declines at tending the Cincinnati Convention, but says the Kansas Nebraska bill is the only thing to put down sectional agitation and cement the bonds of the Union. He calls upon the con vention to nominate a sound and constitutional candidate. Redemption of the United States Stock. The Treasury Department has given notice that the United States stock, issued by act of Congress of July 22, 1840, will be redeemed on the 12th of November next, when the inter est thereon will cease. The department will also purchase the dock on the following terms, in addition to the interest accrued to the ‘lay of purchase, with one day’s interest for the money to reach the vender : On such stock received at the Treasury be tween the Ist day of June, and the 31st day of July inclusive, one half of one percent. On such stock received between the Ist and 31 st days of August one fourth of one per ct. And on such stock received after the thirty first day of August the interest accrued there on, and one day’s additional interest only will be paid. Certificates of such stock transmitted under this notice must be duly assigned to the Uni ted States by the party entitled to receive tho purchase money ; and when sent prior to the Ist of July, the current half year’s interest must also be assigned by the present stock holder, otherwise such interest will be paya ble as heretofore. Notice is further giveu that the department are ready to redeem the other outstanding stocks of the United States on the following terms until the Ist of December unless the sum of S],SOU,OUO shall have been previously ob tained : Ju addition to the interest, accrued from the day of the last dividend of interest, and one day’s additional interest for the money to reach the vender, the following rates of pre mium : On stock of the loan of 1842, a premium of 10 per cent. On stock of the loans of 1847 and 1848, a premium of 10 per cent. And on stock issued under the act of 9th September, 1850, commonly called Texas in demnity stock, a premium of 0 per cent. Certificates transmitted under the notice should be duly assigned to the United States by the party entitled to receive the money : and, if sent previous to the Ist of July, the current half year’s interest must also be assign ed the present stockholders, otherwise the in terest for the half year to that day will be pay able to him as heretofore. Payment for all the foregoing stocks will be made by drafts on the assistant treasuries at Boston, New York or Philadelphia, as the par ties entitled to receive the money may direct. Central Rail Road and Banking Company.

Seoretary Marey’s Letter of Dismissal to Mr. Crampton. Washington, May 30.—The following is the official dismissal of Mr. Crampton, the British Minister : Department of State, ) Washington, May 28, 1856. / Sir—The President of the United States has directed me to announce to you his determina tion to discontinue further intercourse with you as Her Majesty’s Diplomatic Representa tives to the Government of the United States. The reasons which have compelled him to take this step at this time have been communicated to your government. I avail myself of this occasion to add that due attention will be cheerfully given to any communications addressed to this department from Her Majesty’s government affecting the relations between Great Britain and the Uni ted States, which maybe forwarded to this gov ernment through any other channel. Should it be your desire to retire from the United States the President directs me to fur nish you with the usual facilities for that pur pose. I consequently enclose herewith the passport in such cases. 1 avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, sir, the assurance of my respectful consideration. Wm. L. Makcy. To John F. Crampton, Esq., Her Majesty’s Minister, etc. ♦ Quite a storm has been created in Belgiuni in consequence of Napoleon’s endeavor, through the Paris Congress, to curtail the liberty of the press in that country. Belgium is strong ly backed by the British journals ; so strong ly, indeed, that the Times insinuates that this interference of France in another country’s rights may possibly be the means of breaking up the Western alliance. Such a result would be highly probable if the present difficulty was followed by an open rupture. The subject has created no little excitement in Brussels, and has been brought before the Legislature by Mr. Orts, one of its members. In answer to that gentleman, M. Vilain, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, said that no request had been made by the French Government for a change in the Belgian Constitution, (concerning the liberty of the press,) nnd if such a request were made it would never be complied with. This straight-forward reply from the minister was received with cheers and demonstrations of the greatest satisfaction.— Char. Courier. The editor of the Utica Herald says that he once kuew a wild woman who cut her own daughter in the good graces of her lover and niairied him herself. To obtain revenge for this mean, unworthy trick, the daughter set her cap for the young man’s rich father, (of whom lie was the only heir,) and mar ried him, and bad children, to the infinite an noyance of the other parties. This occurred in Onondaga county. It is estimated that the Montgomery and Pensacola Railroad will receive, under the re cent grants from Congress, laud to the amount of 735,000 acres, 160,000 of which will fall to the Florida part of the line nnd 570.000 to the Alabama part. The aid thus given, it is thought, will secure the completion of the work, and at an early dnj\ A lady of Memphis, Tennesseee, has pre pared, at a cost of S2OO, a ting to be present ed to the Nicaragua volunteers from that city. TELEGRAPHIC. - ♦ Expressly for the Daily Sun. THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. Columbia, June 5. The British Steamship Niagara has arrived at Halifax, with dates from Liverpool to the 24th ult. The lower grades of cotton had declined an eighth, and Fair and Middling qualities were stiffer. Sales of the week 38,000 bales, Mo ney easier. Consols 94]. Political news unimportant. TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS. Washington, Jun 2 election for May or, Conneilnn.n and Aldermen, was held here to-day. There was considerable lighting in many of the wards. Several persons were in jured, and one seriously. In one ward, the police were called out to disperse a mob. The election is very close, but the 4 returns have not yet been counted. Fillmore and Northern Know-Nothings. The anti-Fillmore American State Conven tion of New York met Friday at Albany, to choose delegates to the national convention to be held at New York on the 12th of June. A strong ticket was chosen, and a platform was adopted, reported by Mr. Hammond, the edi tor of the Albany Register. It assumes that Mr. Fillmore, has no sympathy with the Ame rican cause. It declares that the Philadelphia convention prostituted itself to slavery ; that the sentiment of the party at the North is against slavery; that Mr. Fillmore’s nomina tion was a fraud of the grossest character; that they adhere to the Bingliampton platform of August last; they denounce the repeal of the Missouri compromise; abhor and execrate the reckless spirit of slave propagandism at Washington; that the principles of the party are the American Protestant sentiment and opposition to the extension of human slavery. Providence, (R. I.) June 3. — Tne Ameri can Convention of this State has repudiated Mr. Fillmore. Burning of a Penitentiary. New Orleans, June 2. — The east wing of the Louisiana Penitentiary has been burnt, in volving a loss of $200,000. Nine prisoners escaped. Insurrection in Hatiy. Boston, June 2.—Advices received in this city mention that a formidable insurrection had broken out against Soloque in the vicinity ofAuxCayes. From two to three thousand insurgents were marching on this city. All the males were called out to join the troops in repelling them. It was reported at the last moment that the troops had been repulsed. Great excitement prevailed. New York Markets. New York, June 3. — Cotton is firm, and 4300 bales changed hands at 11c. for middling Orleans and 10|c. per lb. for middling Up lands. Wheat declined 4c. per bushel. Corn is unsettled. GENTLY CHECK A CHILD. A child was asked why a certain tree grew crooked, replied, “Somebody trod upon it, I suppose, when it was little.” Ho who checks a child with terror, Stops its play and stills its song, Not alone commits an error, But a grievous moral wrong. Give it play and never fear it, Active life is no defect; Never, never break its spirit, Curb it—only to direct. Would you stop the flowing river, Thinking it would cease to flow- '! Onward must it flow forever— Better teach it w here to go. The Massachusetts House of Representa tives lias reversed its action on the personal liberty act. In place of the repeal bill, which under the lead of the AVhigs and Democrats, it passed to a third reading, on Wednesday the House voted to substitute the bill reported by the majority of the committee ; and then pass ed it to be engrossed by a vote of 156 to 123. By this act every person imprisoned or re strained of his liberty is entitled to a writ of habeas corpus, except in the cases mentioned in the second section of the 111th chapter of the revised statutes: which specify persons committed for treason, or for criminal offences, or in civil suits, and this writ may be issued “by the Supreme judicial court, the Court of Common Pleas,” or by other Courts, or by two Justices of the Peace and of the quorum, &c. But it is necessary to state the details. This aet is intended to make the process of nullifying and resisting a law of the United States more efficient. Thus, says the Boston Post, the hopes which the friends of the constitution entertained of a repeal of this fanatical treason law, are blasted. Thus, an act which cannot possibly be productive of good : an act which is a standing reproach to Massachusetts; an act which works constant injury to the good name ol the State ; an act which hasstirred up more bad blood against her than all other laws com bined ; an act which is universally- condemned throughout the Union—is still to disgrace the statute books, and to justify the taunt that Massachusetts is a public faith-breaking State! — Chan. Courier. Sale Day in Savannah. The sales at the Court House, yesterday, were confined principally to real estate in the city, which brought fair prices. Two lots, corner of Liberty and West Broad, brought, together, $4,500. Two lots, with improvements, near the head of Broughton, brought together $6,800.

A man aged 26, a good ostler and coachman, brought $950. Thirty shares Central Rail Road stock, in cluding dividend, sold for $110.60 per share. — Republican. ♦— Senators Seward and Sumner. Ihe Albany Argus says, in allusion to the statement of Senator Douglas, that Mr. Sum ner’s speech was deliberately written out and rehearsed before delivery: “Senator Seward was present at the rehear sal, nnd listened with regret to the extrava gant provocations with which it was filled. He entreated the Massachusetts senator to make it less offensive; and advised him to cur ta.il those very passages, and to strike out those accusations, which proved afterwards so offensive to the Senate and the public.” An agreement has been circulated on the New York Corn Exchange, pledging the par ties to it to measure values in their contracts, I by dimes and half dimes, instead of shillings , and pence. It has been signed by a large 1 number of flour dealers.
