COLUMBUS:
Monday Morning, Juii V, IH9O.
liARUKHT CITY CIRCULATION.
The Democratic Nominees.
We have reliable intelligence from Montgo
mery, that & dispatch was received in that
city on Saturday evening ironi Col. James It.
Powell, delegate from Alabama, announcing
the nomination by the Cincinnati Convention,
of Hon. James Huchanau, of Pennsylvania, for
President, and Hon. John C. Brackcnridge, of
Kentucky, for Vice President.
The nomination of Buchanan, was inode on
Friday, and that of Brackcnridge, on Satur
day.
Unfortunate Accident.
We regret to learn that Mr. Pittmnnof this
city employed oil the Muscogeeltoad as afire
man, met with a serious accident on hriday
last. The train had stopped for a short time
and he had stepped one side to procure some
plums which grew near. Upon his return to the
train which was moving slowly, his foot slipped
as ho was getting aboard, he fell, was caught
under the wheels, and one leg so severely crush
ed, it was found necessary to amputate it.
Drs. Stanford and Stewart performed the oper
ation.
We learn that last year, a negro man was
similarly injured about a quarter of mile from
tho spot of the above occurrence; and as this is
the third similar accident within the past few
days in Georgia, we trust their frequent oc
currence will prove a warning. Mr. Pittman
is a man of family, having married about six
months since.
Cincinnati.
Our exchanges are full to the brim with dis
patches from Cincinnati, displayed in all the
glory of gigantic capital letters, and rampant
exclamation points. Cincinnati is the all-en
grossing, all-absorbing topic; every eye is
turned thither, every car keenly awaiting the
slightest vibrations of the wires that are to
announce the final result of a contest such as
has never before been witnessed, and upon
whose result the interests of all the Western
world will depend for four years of time. The
streets of Washington, the Halls of Congress,
legislative floors, cabinets and councils, are
silent and deserted, their inmates being in at
tendance on the grand mass meeting of the
United States of America. Tho very shades
of private life aro throbbing with engnr 4>vpccLi_
tancy, pervadod by unwonted excitement; and
thousands of aspirants await tho news which
is to give them a lease of hope till the counting
of tho Presidential vote, or givo them present
doom by defeat of the man, who, if elected,
had promised to this one, high station—to
that, fat oflico—to another, aid and comfort
at tho next great convention.
Fillmore and Buchanan, and Pierce and
Douglas, sit uneasily in their seats, or tread,
with nervous steps, the floors of their cham
bers; and look eagerly out of door and win
dow, and madly break open the envelopes ol
dispatches and letters from faithful friends;
while long lines of their devoted adherents,
runuing from Secretaryships, through For
eign Ministries, and Port Collectors, down even
to the officials of country post offices, await
with trembling excitement the News, the News,
the News!
But the “agony” has only commenced. We
await but the key-note, and then will com
mence tho maddening fray ! Stump speeches,
campaign papers, grand mass meetings, bar
becues, caucuses, elections, raving editorials,
reckless assertions, flat denials, appeals to
musty documents for forgotten charges and
testimonies, bitter personalities—all these are
yet to come, and to have their day. Truly
we are not sorry that we can sit calmly in our
sanctum, in patience possess our souls, and
await the end in November. We like not the
dust of the political arena, and the hurly-burly
of President making. Nevertheless we can
appreciate the grandeur of the scene—the sub
liiuest the world will have witnessed for a long
time. It is grand to behold a great people
reaching from the bleak plains of Maine to the
golden shores of Califoruia, all astir, and agog;
all busily engaged and buckliug lustily to work
at the grand task of selecting a Ruler to gov
ern their doings and keep all this great Amer
ican Nation in order.
Finally will come the closing scene in this
busy panorama of events, itself a sublime and
imposing spectacle—the peaceful Inaugura
tion of the Chief Magistrate of America, the
nearest approach in the history of the world,
to tho God of ancient days, gifted with vast
powers and looking front his lofty height, with
proud eyes, over all tho world!
Thinking of these things mightily reminds
us of the greatness of our people. Much as
we feel incensed at the perpetual assaults upon
the integrity of our glorious constitution, we
find it vain to stifle a longing and ardent desire
for Peace and Perpetuity. 801110 sections of
the country present us with grievous and ag
gravating spectacles. But when we survey it
as a mighty whole; when wo listen to tho roar
of the Atlantic upon its eastern shore, and
tho soft murmur of the Pacific on its western
strand; when we run over in memory tlie
deeds of our fathers, and recount the glorious
names that are near and dear to North and
South—we caunot but pray that they will bury
tho hatchet and smoke the pipe of peace.
We fain would strike those chords in the great
American Heart, once tremulous with good
old Home-Airs, aud the sweet music of
brotherhood. We would fain re-awaken in
the American breast, that sentiment, which,
in the far off isles and the land of the
stranger, makes the Btars and Stripes, the
welcomest of all sights, and “ Hail Colum
bia” the gladdest of all sounds. We fain
would brighten into eternal light those links of
concord and fraternal love, fashioned by our
fathers, and transmitted to us unbroken. We
cannot yet consent that our brave old Ship of
State, shall be given “ To the God of Storms,
tho Lightning, and the Wave! ”
We notice in the Savannah papers, a call for
a “Brooks Meeting,” as a counter-actant to
the indignation meetings held at the North.
New Theory of Health.
prof. McGeheeof this State, whose circular
issued from this office a few days since, re
quests us to invite public attention to the new
theory of health which he proposes to impart
to such pupils as may desire it.
As we understand him, he holds that in or
der to procure and maintain a healthy condi
tion of the human system, it is necessary to
maintain an equilibrium between the positive
and negative electricities which exist in the
system, and throughout all nature. He has
discovered, as he has reason to believe from
many experiments, a simple and easy method
of doing this, and this is the knowledge he de
sires to impart to such 11s would learn. Feel
ing an interest in all new discoveries of the
kind, wo trust that Prof. M., may be right
and successful; and we bespeak for him pub
lic attention. He has been at work on his
new theory and practice for a great many
years, and we know him to be a gentleman of
much learning and strong mind. Ilis experi
ments, in actual practice, have been, we are
informed highly successful.
Prof. M., remains in town but a few days,
and may be found at his rooms over the Sun
Office, third door the right.
Brooks Meeting in Montgomery,
A Brooks meeting was held in Montgomery
last week, at which Col. Thos. Williams pre
sided, and P. T. Sayre, Esq., acted as Secreta
ry. The resolutions, which were unanimous
ly adopted, take the ground that as Mr. Sum
ner outraged his privileges as a Senator, and
went outside of the rules governing free dis
cussion, he became thereby personally amen
able. The resolutions were supported by T.
J. Judge, Esq., Hon. W. L. Yancey, Gen. E.
Y. Fair, F. 11. Watts, Esq. and J. W. Smith,
Esq.
The Savannah Republican learns that four
persons besides Mr. Davis, whose case wo no
ticed some days since, have been bitten by
snakes in Bulloch county within the last few
days. Two of them died—one ayourigwoman
and the other a young man—the other two
were still living at last accounts. Os those
who died, one was bitten by a rattle snake and
the other by a moccasin.
Death of Humbug.
The London Punch closes a brief notice of
Barnum’s collapse, with the startling announce
ment, “Humbug is dead!” Avery great
-mistake. Never was there a more triumphant
assertion of the vitality and power of Humbug
than in its victory over the Prince of Humbug,
who had humbugged even Queen Victoria and
Mr. Punch himself, both of whom were duly
“ taken ” by that cunning little bait, General
Tom Thumb. But Barnum’s own turn came.
The Jerome Clock Company wound him up—
Barnum was humbugged!
As to humbug’s dying at all—that is a more
raagnificient “ sell ” than any of Barnum's.
So long as tips world exists for its inhatitants,
Humbug reigns and rules. Not till man is
taken out, will lie cease to be taken in.
Aid to Barnum.
Mr. Barnum is in receipt of scores of sympa
thizing letters from various sources, and a
grand series of “Benefits” is gettingupin New
York, in his behalf. The most distinguished
citizens lead off in the matter. Among the
many letters addressed him, is the following
highly interesting one, worthy the redoubted
hero from whom it emanates. The General is
a small man but he carries a big heart:—
Jones’ Hotel, Phil., >
May 12, IBSG. j
My Dear Mr, Barnum : I understand your
friends, and that means “all creation,” intend
to get up some benefits for your family. Now,
my dear sir, just be good enough to remember
that 1 belong to that mighty crowd, and I must
have a finger (or at least thumb) in that pie.
l am bound to appear on all such occasions in
some shape, from “Jack the Giaut Killer” up
stairs, to the door keeper down, which ever
may serve you best, and there are some feats
that I can perform as well as any other man of
my inches.
1 have just started out 011 my Western tour,
and have my carriage, ponies and assistants
all here, but 1 am ready to go on to New York
bag and baggage, and remain at Mrs. Barnum’s
service as long as l in uiy small way can be
useful. Put me into any “heavy” work you
like. Perhaps 1 cannot lift as much as some
folks, but just take your pencil in hand and
you will see 1 can draw a tremendous load. I
drew two hundred tuns at a single pull to-day,
embracing two thousand persons, whom l haul
ed safely and satisfactorily to all partiesatone
exhibition. Hoping that you will be able to
fix up a lot of magnets that will attract all
New York, and volunteering to sit on any part
of the loadstone, 1 am, as ever, your little but
sympathizing friend.
GEN. TOM THUMB.
General Conference of the M. E. Church.
This body, in session at Indianapolis, voted
last week on the following resolution:
Resolved, By the delegates of the severul
annunl conferences in General Conference as
sembled, that we recommend the several anim
al conferences, so to amend our General Rules
on Slavery as to read—The buying selling or
holding a human being as property.
The above was adopted by a vote of 121 to
35—not two thirds, but a larger majority than
was expected. The resolution providing for
the addition of anew chapter to the Church
Discipline, had not been taken up at last dates.
Further by the Orizaba.
The troops at Rivas are said to be suffering
from cholera.
There was no interference whatever at San
Juan by the British naval forces, (hi the
contrary, they express the most peaceful in
tentions towards Nicaragua and all going thith
er. The United States squadron was there
fore not to remain at San Juan.
The report that Schlessinger had been re
captured, is not only confirmed, but the Oriza
ba brings accounts of his having been tried
and sentenced to be shot.
Senior Rivas lias been re-elected President
of Nicaragua.
lhe English Philosophers are engaged in a
great discussion over the question, “Does the
Moon rotate?”
011 Wednesday last 150 United States troops
passed through Buffalo, New York, on their
way to Kansas.
Mr. Brooks’ Letter to the Senate.
Monday last, tho President of the Senate
laid before that body a letter from Mr. Brooks,
as follows:
House of Representatives, j
May 29th, 1856. j
Sirs: —1 have seen in the public jaurnals this
morning, the Report of the Senate Committee
to whom was referred the resolutions of the
Senate directing an enquiry into an assault
made by me on the 22<1 inst., on a Senator
from Massachusetts. It is with unfeigned re
gret 1 find in the Report that what 1 had in
tended only as a redress for personal wrong,
should have been construed or must necessar
ily be considered a breach of the privilege of
the Senate.
While making a full and explicit disclaimer
of any such desire or purpose, I ask leave to
say that for the occasion, considering myself
only a gentleman in society, and under 110 po
litical restraint as a Member of the House of
Representatives, I did not advert to or consider
there was any alternative or restraint imposed
upon me by reason that the offence came from
a member of the Senate. I had read carefully
and attentively the speech delivered in the
Senate 011 the 19th and 20th in&t.—the speech
delivered in the Senate by the Senator from
Massachusetts, and found therein language
which I regarded as unjustly reflecting, not
only upon the history and character of South
Carolina, but also upon a friend and a relative.
To such language I thought I had a just right
to take exception under the circumstances, the
Senator from South Carolina, who was affected
by those remarks, being absent from the Sen
ate and city. I had reason to believe the Sen
ator from Massachusetts did not acknowledge
that personal responsibility for wrongs in per
sonal deportment, which would have saved me
the painful necessity of the collision which I
sought, and in my judgment, therefore, I had
no alternative but to act as I did. That the
assault was made in the Senate Chamber was
caused only by the fact, that after a careful
search elsewhere, on the previous as well as
on the same day, the offender could not be
found outside the walls of the Senate Cham
ber, and the Seriate had adjourned for more
than an hour previous to the assault. I submit
the foregoing statement from the high respect
I have for the Senate of the United States,
and that it may be received as a full disclaim
er of any design or purpose to infract its priv
ileges or offend its dignity. I cheerfully add,
should the facts, as reported by the Committee
of tho Senate, be, nevertheless, necessarily
considered as a breach of privilege, as a con
clusion of law, my earnest desire is to atone
as far as may be by this unhesitating and
unqualified apology, and that you will oblige
me by communicating this to the Senate, as
its presiding officer.
1 have tho honor to remain, Sir,
With great respect, your servant,
P. S. Brooks.
To Hon. Jesse D. Bright, Pres’t of Senate.
The letter was read, laid on the table, and
ordered to printed.
Premiums offered by the Medical College
of the State South Carolina.
To promote scientific attainments, and to ex
cite emulation in the youth of College, two
members of the Faculty offer to the candidates
for''gjriduatioii, at the ensuing session of the
College; premiums of SIOO each, as an equiv
alent, for any of the following productions:
1. An original Treatise upon any subject in
Pathology or Therapeutics—
OR--.
2. If no original TreatisSS<^offered—for a
production on the above subjects which will
commend itself for its literary, scientificp-or
practical applications to the wants of society,
or the relief of suffering humanity.
OR
3. If without the opportunity of being
practical in its bearing, the production should
commend itself by being suggestive, and thus
like to prove practically useful.
Communications will be classified as above,
and a preference given to the order in which
they stand, though decided merit in either will
command a corresponding consideration.
The usual conditions to prevent undue par
tiality will be observed, and the adjudication
will be committed to three professional gentle
men of our community, who may be selected
by Ileury It. Frost, M. D., Prof, of Materia
Medica, in the Medical College of the State of
South Carolina. The successful candidate will
be declared upon the commencement day of
the College, and the premium then and there
awarded.
UPON SURGERY.
By another Professor of the College, a pre
mium of SIOO will, with similar motives and
conditions, be awarded for the best Treatise
upon a Surgical subject.
All productions designed to compete for this
purse, besides containing a fair summary of
the existing information on the subject, should,
as far as possible, be supported by original
observations 011 experiments.
Communications to be addressed to E. Ged
dings, M. D., Professor of Surgery in the
Medical College of the State of. South Caroli
na, aud should bear a motto, with a sealed
letter enclosing the author’s name.
The London correspondent of a country pa
per thus describes the appearance of the Prin
cess Royal at the drawing room :
“ 1 was scarcely prepared to behold her a
fine, grown, handsome woman; taller by a
couple of inches than her mother, and carrying
herself with the ease and grace of womanhood.
Her face is perfectly lovely. The regularity of
her features is perfect. Her eyes are large
and full of intelligence, imparting to her face
that sort of merry aspect which indicates good
humor. The nose and mouth arc delicately
and exquisitely formed, the latter giving the
cttect ot great sweetness. The Princess is
more like her father than her mother. She is
like the Queen in nothing but the nose. 111 all
other respects she is a female image of her
father. Her Majesty begins to wear a mat
ronly aspect. She becomes slightly stout too,
and looks more and more like the Dutchess of
Kent. Prince Albert’s likeness to the por
traits of the Czar Nicholas is remarkable, and
striking, and it has become more observable
siuce he became bald.”
Shelby Lime.
are truly glad to see this article is rap
idly gaining ground and becoming a very im
portant item in the commerce of this place.
Oreat quantities are being shipped now’ by al
most every boat up and down the river. It
goes out westward also, and south, over the
rlvcr- The home demand is gl owing so large
that the company are unable as yet to supply
very large quantities to the markets of Mobile
and New Orleans. This will soon be done,
however, we learn. This commerce is one of
the fruits of our northern Railroad. It will
grow abundant in time.— Selma Reporter.
A country girl coming from the field, was
told by her cousin that she looked as fresh as
a daisy kissed with dew.
, I 1 Wll!>nt my fellow by that name,
hut Bill Jones that kissed me; confound his
picture, 1 told him that every body would find
it out.”
TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.
Later from Kansas.
We find the following in several of our ex
changes, hut we give it only for what it is
worth :
St. Louis, June s.—Advices from Kansas
to the 28th ult., states that dragoons were sta
tioned at Lawrence and Topeka.
It was reported that a party of Buford’s
meu having committed depredations near Os
sawattomie, the outraged settles attacked them
but were dispersed with the loss of five killed.
The Missouri pro-slavery men were identi
fied with these troubles, and had been ordered
by the cimmittee to leave the Territory.
Great excitement prevailed, and Shannon
had sent United States troops to preserve or
der.
The Congressional Committee had gone to
Westport, and would leave for Washington on
the 10th.
Thirteen persons had been arrested for tho
murder of pro-slavery men near Ossawatto
mie.
Further by the Niagara.
Lord John Russell gave notice of his inten
tion to ask whether the Government intends to
interfere between Nicaragua and Costa llica.
The Times thinks that England and the Uni
ted State.s must combine to settle the Central
American question, aud suggests the Czar as
an umpire.
A Protocol embracing the proposition to
capitalize the Sound Dues, had been signed by
Russia, Sweden and Oldenbcrge, by which
Denmark offers to renounce the Sound and Belt
Dues for 35,000,000 rix dollars. All the Ma
ritime powers must assent and Denmark de
mand security sos the money, reserving the
right to treat separately with each power.
The excitement on the Italian question con
tinues.
The English Ministry had again triumphed
on the motion censuring them for an abandon
ment of maritime laws touching neutrals.
The Russian successes in Circassia are con
firmed.
The Markets.
New Orleans, June s:—Sales of 5,000 bales
Cotton at unchanged prices.
Charleston, June s.—Sales of Cotton for
the week. 4,100 bales. The Market closes
weak at J to j decline on the prices of the
week.
New York, June s. — Cotton is firm. Sales
of 1500 bales at 11c. for middling Orleans,
and 10|c. for Uplands.
Other articles are unchanged.
Anti Fillmore Convention.
This convention met in Albany, N. Y., last
week to choose delegates to the National Con
vention to be held on Thursday next. A strong
ticket was chosen, and a platform w r as adopted,
reported by Mr. Hammond, the editor of the
Albany Register. It assumes that Mr. Fill
more has no sympathy with the American
cause. It declares that the Philadelphia con
vention prostituted itself to slavery; that the
sentiment of the party at the North is against
slavery; that Mr. Fillmore’s nomination was
a fraud of the grossest character ; that they
adhere to the Binghampton 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 American
Protestant sentiment and opposition to the ex
tension of human slavery.
Beecher’s (Last.
At the close of his sermon last Sunday, in
Brooklyn, the ltev. Henry Ward Beecher stat
ed that there was an interesting inulatto-gnT
then in the church, who had come from Was
hington in search of freedom. He said her
owner had offered to sell her for $1,200, of
which sum S7OO had been given by persons in
Washington and Baltimore, leaving SSOO still
to be subscribed. This last amount he wanted
his people then and there to raise, and that
they might see the girl, he said—“ Sarah, come
up here.” He assisted her into the pulpit,
and exhibited her to the greatest advantage.
SBOO were soon raised, S3OO of which, he
said, could be applied to the purchase of her
child. The girl had been allowed to visit New
York on her parole of honor. During the pro
gress of the scene the women whimpered, the
waved their hats, and the men applau
ded.
The Difficulty between Spain and Mexico.
The difficulty between Spain and Mexico is
said to be serious. The amount claimed by
Spain as losses incurred by Spanish subjects
during the struggle of Mexico fer indepen
dence is six millions. Mexico has called for
revision of these claims, urging that some of
them are fraudulent. Spain refused this de
mand, and Mexico endeavored to enforce it by
compelling the complainants to deposite their
titles with available security for the amounts
already paid thereupon, threatening to confis
cate the property of the Spanish holders should
they refuse to do so, and actually carrying out
the threat in several cases. This is resented
by Spain, and a squadron has been despatched
to Vera Cruz to backits complaints. The task
to be executed by this squadron, embracing
nine or ten vessels, comprising in all one hun
dred and sixty guns, is variously stated. By
some a bombardment of Vera Cruz is predict
ed, whilst others assert a blockade only will
he aitempted. Anew Spanish Minister ac
companies the squadron, which left Havana
on the 22d ult.
Melancholy Suicide.
Mrs. Sarah L. Thurmond drowned herself in
the Oconee river at this place, last Tuesday
night- We are informed that she was driven
to the rash deed by the cruelty of her husband,
John Thurmond. They separated some time
ago, and it has been a struggle between them
ever since, who should have the children. He
succeeded in carrying one of them off, and it
was thought that he was in town Tuesday,
awaiting an opportunity of getting the other.
This coming to Mrs. Thurmond, we suppose,
drove her to desperation. Her body was found
yesterday morning. We are indebted toCapt.
Dorsey, the Marshal, for the above facts.—
Athens Danner.
( apt. John Tyler, (son of Ex-President) and
Gen. Small, had a street fight in Philadelphia
a tew days ago, which grew out of the with
drawal of the arms from the naturalized for
eigners in military companies, by the order of
the Know Nothing Governor of that State.—
lien. Small, it is reported, was Sumnered.
Help"’ A good looking friend of ours, who is
on this side of forty, though somewhat hcary
headed, while absent front the city a few days
used Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and on
his return called to see his lady love, hut 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 ; hut the
lady still says that she likes the counterfeit
better than tho original, and insists that he
continue (it necessary) to use the Hair Restor
ative.—St. Louis Morning Herald.
