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.
