Halnrday Morning, .Viatic I, 1 N.'iO.
LAHOEST CITV CIRCULATION.
The Bainbridge Argus, 3d, reports a heavy
storm in that section on the 28th, which pros
trated trees and fences, and considerably dam
aged the crops.
The Washington Star says there is no truth
in the statement that Mr. Herbert had settled
on the widow of the late Thomas Keating, any
amount of money or property whatever.
■ ■
At the late municipal election in Washing-
City, the Anti-Know Nothing candidate for
Mayor, Win. 15. Magruder, was elected. The
Americans, however, have the majority at the
Council Board.
The Washington t Star denies that Mr. .Sum
ner has been in a critical situation from the
blows of Mr. Brooks, and says that lie might
have left his room, according to his physicians,
the day after the assault, had he so chosen.
Sumner, we suppose, wishes to present a spe
cimen of long-sufferance.

Connocticut United States Senator.
James Dixon, Froo Soil Know Nothing, has
been elected United States Senator by the Le
gislature of Connecticut. This was the result
of a fusion of the Know Nothings and Free
Soilers.

The Constitutionalist says that some of the
citizens of Augusta, upon hearing of the ar
rival of Mr. ami Mrs. Brooks, the parents of
the Hon. I*. S. Brooks, at the Augusta Hotel,
on Tuesday night last, complimented them
with a serenade. The affair was got up at
Hhort notice, but choice gems of music were
artistically executed, on a dozen instruments
or more, and the serenade dosed with three
hearty cheers “for the lion. I’rcston N. Brooks,
of South Carolina.”
.New Line of Travel.
We learn from the Selma Sentinel that the
Alabama and Mississippi Railroad Company
have determined to run a daily train from Sel
ma to Louisville, the present terminus of their
Road, and that arrangements are making for
daily stages thence to the Mobile ami Ohio
Railroad, via IJniontown. Proposals will also
be made for carrying the great Western Mail
over this route. The Company have bright
hopes of soon raising the additional funds
necessary to carry the Road to Uniontown.
“Let this be done” says the Sentinel, “and a
daily line of stages established between (Jnion
town and the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and
it at once becomes one of the greatest thor
oughfares in the Southern States. Selina will
then bo placed in 12 to 15 hours of Mobile, a
very important item in the way of travel to
this section of country.”
The Florence Tragedy.
From a letter in the Times and Sentinel of
yesterday we glean the following particulars
of the abovo outrage.
Glennvillb, Ala., June 3.
For some years, Matthew Averett, sr., lias
been keeping a ferry at Florence, on the Chat
tahoochee river, without a charter from the
State of Georgia. In 1858, A. W. Hill, F,si|.,
obtained a Charter from Georgia, for a ferry
at that place, and opened a road on his owned
land, on this side of the river, lending into the
old Florence road, and stopped the road lead
ing from Averett’s ferry ou the Georgia side;
whereupon Averett erected a toll gate across
the Florence road on the Alabama side, and
demanded and collected the same toll as he
would have received at the ferry.
The authority upon which Averett claims
the right to do this is an order of the Commis
sioners’ Court of Barbour county, Ala. granted
to him in 1848, to erect a toll gate at the ter
minus of the Florence the W'est side
of the Chattahoochee river, lie oroctcd^agate
several hundred yards back from the river,
just at the point where Hill’s road intersects
the old road. Tho citizens ou both sides of
the river have become very much excited, and
have repeatedly torn down the gate. On yes
terday several of Averett’s relatives and his
overseer, armed themselves with double-barrel
guns and proceeded to the gate, to guard it,
and prevent persons from passing without pay
ing toll. The names of said persons l under
stand to be Wm. Cliatt, John McClendon, Win.
McClendon, James McClendon, Wilson R. Ave
rett, E. D. Averett, and Miles, the over
seer. Upon their arrival, they secreted them
selves behind a fence in an adjoiniiigtield. Soon
after they arrived there, Nathaniel Roach, with
his little son 5 years old, Robert Warliek,
Samuel Driggers, and a man named Sikes, ar
rived at tho gate and were about to pass
through when the men tired oil them front
their place of concealment. At the first fire
Mr. Roach s little boy was wounded in the
neck and body—supposed to be mortally.
Sykes was also shot down, mortally wounded.
Roach, in endeavoring to save his child, by
bolding bis own back to them, received a great
many shot, and is severely hurt. Warliek
was wounded mortally. Driggers was shot in
the arm, but not datigorodsly. [triggers was
the only man in the attacked partly armed,
and his gun would not tiro until too late to do
any good.
You can better imagine, than we can de
scribe, tho excitement which prevails aftci uoh
a shocking outrage. The otlieer, with a posse
is in search of the offenders, and anticipates
some trouble in arresting them. All are well
armed, and should they resist, more blood will
be shod. The community will see that the
law is executed.
A FRIEND TO ORDER.
P. B. —Glennvflle, dune 3 — ll o’lock, a. m.
—A letter has just been received bv J. M.
White, Esq., from Florence, (In., stating that
five more men passed Avcrett’s gate last night
about dnrk. and on arriving at Hill’s ferry got
into the flat to cross the river. Soon after
they had pushed out into the stream, they
were fired on hv some persons concealed in
the bushes on the bank, and were severely
wouuded. We have not learned the names of
the persons shot, or extent of their injuries.—
The persons shot were some gentlemen from
Georgia, who had volunteered to escort Mr.
Roach, with his wounded child, home, and
were attacked on their return.
Five o’clock, p. m.—Further particulars
have been received. There wereeight men on
the tint whin fi ‘ed on; seven were wounded—
one thought to be mortally. I must close as the
mail closes. 1 cannot say what will be the
result. “Theendisnot yet.” Some of our
young men, who wentout with the officer, have
not yet returned, and 1 hope will not. until
Right, Justice, Peace and Order are restored.
CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
THinn DAY.
June 4th.—The platform was reported to
day. It embraces the general principles of
the last Convention ; denounces religious in
tolerance and proscription on account of birth
place, and affirms the principles of the Kan
sas and Nebraska Act as embodying the only
solution of the slavery question, consistent with
the non-interference of Congress with slavery
in the iStates and Territories.
The Platform Committee also reported the ,
following resolutions :
The first declares the Convention to be in
favor of free seas and free trade throughout
the world.
The second, that the Monroe doctrine is sa
cred.
The third says that the control of the high
ways of the Atlantic and Pacific should be se
cured.
The fourth sympathizes with the people of
Central America in their effort to regenerate
that portion of the continent.
The fifth expects the next Administration to
make every proper effort to insure our ascen
dancy in the Gulf of Mexico, and to maintain
the permanent protection of the great outlets
into it.
The report of the committee, with the excep
tion of the above resolutions, was unanimous
ly adopted, New York not voting. The Vir
ginia delegation asked and obtained leave to
consider the five resolutions.
The Convention then adjourned until four
o’clock this afternoon.
The New State Constitution of Deseret.
The Deseres News, of April 2d, publishes
the new State Constitution, which was recent
ly adopted in the Territory. We are indebted
to the New York livening Post for the sub
joined synopsis:
“ All that part of the territory of the United
States now known as Utah Territory, and
bounded as follows, viz: On the West by the
State of California, on the North by the Terri
tory of Oregon, on the East by the submit of
the Rocky Mountains, and on the South by the
thirty-seventh (37tli J parallel of North latitude,
is hereby formed into a free and sovereign
State, mid named Deseret.’
“ Article 2d guaranties to the people of the
new State the enjoyment of the usual rights
and privileges of freemen, as provided by the
Constitution of the United States.
“ The powers of government of the State of
Deseret are divided into three distinct depart
ments, viz : legislative, executive and judicial.
“ The legislative authority is vested in a
General Assembly, consisting of a Senate and
House of Representatives, tho members of
which are to be elected by the people.
“ The sessions of the General Assembly will
be annual, until otherwise provided by legis
lative enactment.
The members of the House of Representa
tives arc to be chosen biennially, by the quali
fied electorsof their respective districts, whose
term of office will continue two years from the
day of their election.
“ Senators will be chosen in the same man
ner as the representatives, whose term of of
fice will continue four years from the day of
their election.
“No person can be a member of the general
assembly except he be a free white male citi
zen of the United States, and an inhabitant of
the State one year preceding the time of his
election, and has at his election an actual resi
dence in the district he may be chosen to rep
resent.
“ The general assembly will have power to
prescribe the number and make the apportion
ment of senators and representatives ; but the
number of senators cannot be less than oue
tlnrd nor more than one-lialf of the represen
tatives.
“ Each member of the general assembly is
privileged from civil arrest during any session,
and in going to and returning from the same.
“ ‘l’lio members of the gcneral t assembly will
take an oath or affirmation to support the
constitution of the United States and of Dese
ret, which may bo administered by each oth
er, or by any person qualified to administer
oaths.
“ Any person of the State who may hereaf
ter be engaged, directly or indirectly, in a
duel, either as principal or accessory before
the fact, is disqualified from holding any
office under the constitution and laws of the
State.
“ The secretary of State, treasurer, auditor
of public accounts, and attorney general, are
elected by the general assembly for the term of
four years.
“ Tho supreme judges (a chief justice ami
two associates) are elected by the general as
sembly for the term of six years after the first
election under the constitution.
“ The judg es of the district courts aro elec
ted for two years by the electors of their res
pective districts.
“ Tho first general election of State officers
and of a representative to Congress under the
new constitution will be appointed by pro
clamation of the acting governor of the Terri
tory.
“ Any amendments to the constitution are
to bo submitted to, and decided by, a direct
vote of the people.
“ At the first election after this constitution
takes effect, the voters of the State will elect
the same number of senators and representa
tives as arc now elected to the legislative as
sembly of the Territory of Utah, and according
to the present apportionment.
“ The present organization, laws, and every
thing pertaining to the territorial government
of Utah, remain in full force and virtue inlaw
until superseded by the action of the State
government under the provisions of this con
stitution.'’
Canadian View of Crampton’s Dismissal.
liv the attention of our Washington corres
pondent we were enabled yesterday afternoon
to issue a slip containing the intelligence, re
ceived by telegraph, of Mr. Crumpton and
Consuls Barclay, Mathews and Roweoroft’s
dismissal by the 1 nited States government.
Our correspondent adds that Mr. Marcy's let
ter in reply to Lord Clarendon’s last despatch,
is “concilliatory, but firm.” The N. V. papers,
in contemplation of the dismissal which has
taken place, appear pretty generally, to be
lieve the llritisli government will “pocket the
affront ” and sent! successors to their dismiss
ed officials. Woarc of a different opinion, and
have no doubt Mr. Dallas will be served with
a “notice to quit” within an hour of the re
ceipt of Mr. Marcy’s despatch, however “eon
eilliatory’ may be its terms. The pretence
that Mr. Crumpton is not dismissed, because
oi’ the enlistment imbroglio, but from bis be
ing personally distasteful to the President,
is, in our view, untenable, and ought not
to be accepted. Mr. Cramptou was, notorious
ly, personally acceptable to the President pre
vious to the enlistment affair; and it is clear
ly his alleged conduct in that affair to which
his dismissal must be attributed. Besides,
are Messrs. Barclay, Mathews and Roweroft
all personally unacceptable to the President!

From the N buraguons'', Mu> 27.
Costa Bican Affairs.
The concurrence of reports from Costa Ilica,
that the country is agitated by internal com
motions. and that the Presidency of General
Mora is in danger of overthrow, induces us to
attach some importance to the statement.
Before President Mora left Virgin, be believed
himself that his power was unpopular at
home; and he did not make himself faster by
deserting so ingloriously the expedition he
commenced with such vain and trenchant proc
lamations. El Kicarayuense advised in the be
ginning that bis course would bring down upon
him untold evils; but he disregarded the ad
monition. and the result lias proved the asser
tion.
Three causes have conspired to bring Gen.
Mora in great disrepute at home. The van
ity that prompted him to undertake iudivid
dally the oppression of the present Republican
government of Nicaragua, was sufficient to
condemn him in the estimation of the world;
but in Costa Rica, where the people might
foolishly shut their eyes to the probability
of such an undertaking, they could not
avoid observing the disastrous chain of cir
cumstances that commenced with and have
continued to follow the expedition of invasion.
But there is no reasons to suppose that the
people of Costa Rica approve the war ; and if
we aro to credit the advices from that State,
it is altogether probable that hostilities were
commenced wholly without the consent and
against the wishes of the majority. We will
not assert that the people of Costa Rica ap
prove of the presence of American soldiers in
Nicaragua; but they did not wish any conflict
with them unless a general league of offensive
operations could be formed among the four ad
joining Central American States against this
Republic. Failing to perfect this combination,
they chose to live in peace and accept what
destiny might be held in store for them under
the course of progressive events tiiat now
threaten to disenthral the world.
But the real and tangible grounds of Gen.
Mora’s recent unpopularity at borne is to be
found, first, in his imprudent attach upon this
State without effecting the above combination;
second, in having sacrificed so many victims
both by war and cholera, in an unprovoked
outrage upon this Republic; and third, in hav
ing introduced the cholera into Costa Rica,
where it is creating sad devastation.
It is also stated that the Republicans, or
those disconnected with the existing authority
in Costa Rica, have originated a revolt in the
city of Alajuela, where the people have always
opposed the servile administration of affairs.
In consequence of these untoward circum
stances, says our Spanish editor, Gen. Mora
is uncertain of his continuation in power, or
of iiis own personal security.
Thus the false steps of politicians continual
ly jeopardise the national welfare and ifhder
niine the stability of peace and progress.
With blind temerity Gen. Mora involved liim
elf in a war vvitli Nicaragua ; and to-day the
prospect of ruin to himself and evil to his
country is the prominent contingency of the
times. Os the three thousand men brought
with him in this warlike invasion, scarcely
twelve hundred survive to tell the story of
their defeat and the destruction of their
friends. War with all its horrors, has visited
them, and yet the chain of disastrous conse
quences has not ceased to afflict the survivors.
The men are deserting and officers resigning—
all absolutely disgusted with the improvidence
that lias plunged the country into such a laba
ryntli of misfortune. And still, we may add,
the end is not yet.
From the Nicaraguense, May 27th,
Election in Nicaragua.
On Sunday last, a large table, covered with
a red cloth and surrounded by officers, attrac
ted considerable attention from the Americans,
as they walked up and down tho collonade of
the row of buildings on the West side of the
plaza. Papers were thrown loose upon the
cloth while the clerks would seize their pens
and write. The people of the country, the
simple market women, the beggars on the
corners, the leper of the infirmary, all knew
what it meant, but we, the editor of the news
paper, the great factotum of a country town,
were completely in the dark as to the import
of the red table, its officers and papers.
It was the solemn election of the Republic.
The people were exercising their greatest
prerogative of electing the officers that shall
rule them for another term of office. In this
country the elective franchise extends to every
male inhabitant of eighteen years, against
whom there is no criminal prosecution, and
who is not charged with being a dissolute and
vicious man. The voters elect delegates, who
assemble in the capitals of the different de
partments and elect Representatives, Senators,
and a President. A man must be twenty
three years old to be a delegate, twenty-five
to be a Representative and thirty to be Sena
tor or President.
The election on Saturday last—as most pub
lic days in the Republic come on Sunday
was concluded with the greatest decorum.
The candidates for the Presidency were all of
the same political faith, the only dispute be
ing between the Democrats of Leon and those
of Grenada. Don Patricio Rivas, the present
popular President, was supported by the peo
ple of Grenada, and Gen. Mariano Salizar, a
great favorite, by the people of Leon. A few
votes have been cast for Don Nprdeste Rami
rez, of Leon. The struggle is between Rivas
and Salizar, and it is impossible to determine
at present who will be the next President of
Nicaragua.
The election in Grenada proceeded by can
tons, or wards, each ward of four thousand
persons electing one delegate. The people
generally took great interest in the result, and
the number of the votes ran larger than at any
election held in Grenada. To the governments
and people abroad this significant fact cannot
be avoided that the Republic of Nicaragua ex
presses the will of the people. All its actions
emanate from this silent expression, and every
movement it has made has been undertaken
bv the concurrence of the great body of the
people. To ignore, then, the fact of our ab
solute independence, is to deny to the inhabi
tants of Nicaragua the right of self-govern
ment.
Attempt at Insurrection.
The Times and Sentinel of yesterday mor
ning says:
. “The Chuunenuggoe community were thrown
into consternation recently by a report that a
negro preacher named George, the property of
•John Fontaine, of this city, who resided on the
plantation of Rev. Charles Stewart, on the
lu.lgc, was attempting to raise an insurrection
among the negroes. A committee of citizens
was appointed to examine into the rumors,
who report that George indulged the wicked
purpose of inciting his fellow servants to the
destruction of the whites, but that be failed to
seduce them from their allegiance to their
masters. George has been arrested and is now
in jail.
Silver Heels is the name of a valuable horse
lately purchased by Gen. Singleton, of Quincy,
Illinois, for the round sum of $3,000. He is
one of the highly bred Morgan stock, and -is
pronounced by competent judges to he the
finest specimen of the horse kind now liviug.
A Fresh Account of the Destruction of
Lawrence.
—~ From the Doniphan Constitutionalist, K, T.
We havejust arrived from that notorious
abolition hold, Lawrence. On Wednesday
evening, the 21st; about 500 men, under the
direction of the United States Marshal, assem
bled before the town, and demanded that the
arms in Lawrence be given up, and he be al
lowed to arrest those for whom he had writs.
They submitted to the demand and uncondi
tionally surrendered, giving up four pieces of
cannon and some twenty Sharpe's rifles.
Before the Marshal dismissed the men, Sher
iff Jones, though but lately shot by one of the
cowardly traitors in the darkness of the night,
approached on horseback and summoned the
whole company to assist him in making arrests
and carrying out his orders.
The whole affair was done with order and
according to law. The Sheriff made about 20
arrests, and the grand jury of Douglas county
having declared the Fort or Big Rock Hotel
and the two printing presses nuisances, the
Sheriff was legally bound to destroy them.—
Thirty cannon shots were fired at the hotel,
breaking it in many places, and then it was
burned up. The two presses were totally de
stroyed.
There were two or three abolitionists killed.
Two Southern men dangerously wounded by
accident. After the Southern men left Law
rence, the house belonging to the vile traitor
Robinson was burnt, we have been told. This
was contrary to orders, and meets with the
condemnation of all the Southern men.
The laws have been enforced even in Law
rence. Hurrah for the law and order men of
Kansas!
The Doniphan Tigers have returned with joy
in their hearts and honor upon their company.

Interesting from Florida.
We find in the Charleston Courier, the fol
lowing interesting letter, dated Pilatka, May
20th.
Dear Courier—A short trip through East
Florida, in attendance on our courts, has ena
bled me to pick up some specimens of soil which
I send you by this trip of the Carolina, and
may of interest to you. We left l’alatka not
expecting to see such crops as wo found in the
interior. Os every thousand acres of land,
which seem to be the pot work of nature, you
will find not more than fifty in cultivation ;
and yet emigration has been immense, and
every where on our journey we saw crops
which indicated a tremendous yield—enough
to put corn down next fall to forty cents per
bushel.
The soils I send you were gathered for me
by D. Jefferson Williams, Esq., of Marion co.
lie is truly a model planter, and with 25 hands
this year will raise corn and other produce
sufficient to pay all his expenses and supply
his plantation, and have his cotton crop clear
gain. His cotton crop is, at the lowest calcu
lation certain for ten thousand dollars.
Now, what say our Carolina friends to this?
Here is health, conveniences, good society,
most pleasant weather; “oranges blushing
over head,” land cheap—deer, turkies, bear
and fish in abundance—natural curiosities un
excelled by any portion of the globe, and only
24 fours from Charleston to Palatka.
The dark soil i send you is black hammock
—the pipe clay looking rock is soiled turned
up by the plough in a soft state, and can be
cut with a knife like cheese, but after being
exposed to the atmosphere, becomes hard.—•
The egg shaped rock I can say nothing of, as
to its composition, or what it is. The pottery
I gathered at the old home of Osceoa, (which
is on Mr. Williams’plantation.) The marl or
shell soil was thrown up from a depth of sixty
feet, in digging a well.
The Indian hoe, you can let your imagina
tion picture to be wliat it pleases. It is a cu
riosity, the nature of which is yet to be found
out. I wonder very frequently why more of
those gentlemen, who in Carolina work hard
to live on poor lands, do not come where na
ture is offering them riches, and that too,
where the climate ts more pleasant, where heat
and cold never reach such extremes, andhealth
is almost a certainty.
Apprehensions of War,
A New York letter, dated May 31, says:
“ All sorts of apprehensions are afloat here
touching the probable effect of Marcy’s rejoin
der to Lord Clarendon and the dismissal of Mr.
Crampton. Some of flic Wall Street capital
ists are declining all time contracts, under the
apprehension (in most instances affected no
doubt) of war.
The Collector of the Port, Mr. lledtield, hav
ing waited upon Mr. Barclay, to say to him,
that though his exquatur was revoked, he would
be happy to acknowledge and recognise his
acts, until a successor should be appointed.
Mr. Barclay, however, politely declined to
avail himself of the courtesy. He has never
theless, given notice to the shippingmerchants
and others, that lie will grant such facilities
as his commission still authorizes.
Distressing Accident.
Lust night about 10 o’clock a very distress
ing accident occured at Station No. 2, Central
Railroad. A man named Patrick McDermott,
attached to the train, had his right leg, terri
bly crushed by being run over by the cars.—
McDermott had got off the cars to attend to
the switch. In attempting to get on the train
again he made a mis-step and the wheel of the
cars passed over his leg. The injured man
was brought to the city in the train which ar
rived at a quarter to eleven o’clock last night
lie was taken to his residence in the vicinity of
the depot, and when we left the house, about
one o'clock this morning, the operation of am
putation was about being performed.
McDermott has no family. Ilis situation is
extremely critical. —Savannah News.

Death from the Bite of a Rattle Snake.
Gentlemen arrived from Bulloch county last
evening, inform us that Mr. Henry Davis Jr.,
a gentleman residing in that county, was bit
by a large Battle Snake, while walking a few
hundred yards from his house yesterday, and
died from its effects.
He was bitten in the forenoon and was not
found for some time after, when he was so near
death as to render all remedies unavailable.
After he was bitten lie corded his leg with his
suspenders, and then killed the reptile.
He proceeded towards his house a short dis
tance, and finding that lie could go no further,
hung his hat upon a bush and lay down, w-here
he was found, lie was much respected, and
has left a wile and some live or six children,
and numerous friends to mourn his loss.—Sa
vannah Journal.
5 1 A gooil looking friend of ours, who is
on this side of forty, though somewhat hoary
headed, while absent from the city a few days
used Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and on
his return called to see his lady love, but was
surprised and amused to find she did not re
cognize him, and immediately determined to
pass for a cousin of himself; but was eventu
ally chagrined to find he was supplanting his
former self in the affections of the lady, which
caused him to make himself known ; but the
lady still says that she likes the counterfeit
better than the original, and insists that he
continue (if necessary) to use the Hair Restor
ative.—Nf. Louis Morning Herald.
