COLUMBUS: Tuesday Morning, June 10, IHSU. LARUKiIT CITY CIIICCITATION. Bhelby Lime Again. We published yesterday, a brief notico of this lime, from the Selina Reporter. Since then, Mr. John W. Howard, the agent in Co lumbus for its sale, has laid upon our table a “ specimen copy,” from which we are able to say, that for freedom from grit, fineness of grain, and beautiful color, it bangs anything in the lime line we ever saw. Our head man seeing it ‘‘lying about loose,” wanted to know what that flour was left open that way for? As to its strength, we were afraid to try it, either upon the tongue or in our eyes, both of which are very necessary to our daily tasks.— We learn, however, that it has been tried in Columbus, and pronounced strictly prime.—- We commend itto the attention of builders nnd masons who are better judges than we, of such things. Let them see it and try it, and if good, buy it. Newspaper Change. We see by the last Montgomery Advertiser, that I*. H. Brittan, Esq., has disposed of his in terest in the establishment to Dr. N. B. Cloud und Mr. Augustus Underwood. Dr. Cloud is the editor of the American Cotton Planter. Mr. Underwood, is a practical printer, possessed of industry, energy and talents, peculinaly siting him for the management of the establishment. In his retiring notice, Mr. Brittan says “these gentlemen will secure the best talent in the editorial columns of the paper, and it will be nn able organ of the Democratic party in its present and future contests with their oppo nents.” We wish the new firm, who we know will deserve success, a full reward for their labors; and our friend Britton, with whom we labored for several years in builing up the establish ment, prosperity in whatever pursuit he may engage. ♦ - Montgomery and West Point Railroad. The following is the exhibit, says the Mont gomery Advertiser of Saturday, made at the quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors held on Thursday, tho 6th instant, of the ope rations of the Road for the quarter ending on the Ist day of June: No. of passengers—Through . . . 6,073 “ “ Way .... 10,863 Total number of passengers . . . 22,936 Money from passengers .... $4(1,672 “ “ Freights and Mail . . 40,826 Total receipts 90,398 The above exhibit shows an increase over the same period last year of 6,193 in the num ber of passengers, $11,732 in money from same, $4,817 on freights and mail, and a total increase on the recoipts from all sources of 46,460. Tho work of re-laying tho road with heavy iron is rapidly progressing, and enough iron has been provided to relay it to Fort Decatur, which is as much work as can be done by tbe opening of the cotton season. Additional lo comotives have been constructed, and the car factory force sufficiently increased to turn out fifty freight cars by tho press of the winter’s business, to meet and satisfactorily perform which, the company are making every effort. —.—♦ C. Gustave Mueller of Charleston, has pat ented an impregnable lock, fire-proof, thief proof, powder-proof, and Hobbes-proof. The Courier says it is a very simple affair in con struction, though capable of one hundred million changes ! The key is no larger than hnlf-a-dollar, and has no moveable pieces.— The strangest feature of all, is, the inventor has never been, by occupation, conversant with mechanics. Mr. M., has also perfected an improvement in telegraphing, which is highly thought of. We hope he will ho “con versant with mechanics” hereafter, for he seems to have a turn that way, and may per haps work us out a perpetual motion. Hugh Miller, the distinguished Scotch lleol ogist, author of the “Old Red Sandstone,” and “ Foot Prints of the Creator,” is coining to this country on a lecturing tour, lie de serves a warm welcome as a man andascholar —a man, world-wide in his sympathies, of noble character, and untainted with “ism.” lie was a fisherman's son—then a stone cutter —then geologist—then author—then and now, Editor. Purely self-taught though he is, some ot tho best English Critics award him the title of greatest living master of the English lan guage. The last work above alluded to, is in answer to the celebrated deistic work, “ Ves tiges of Creation,” anonymously published, but now generally conceded to have been writ ten by one of tho brothers Chambers, (Robert) of Edinburgh. Sumnerism. The Bostouians have prepared a testimonial to Sumner, valued at SISOO. Among the sub scribers are Edward Everett, Josiah Quincy, and Prof. Longfellow. “Hiawatha” goes for Sumner, it seems. A “ Sumner Association” has been formed in New York city, and has resolved to present Senator Sumner a civic crown and service of plate, as a•• tribute to his championship of free speech.” , We suppose tho crown will he of gold of course. Would it not be well also to furnish Mr. Sumner with a gold head ? We learu from the Washington Union that tho work of paying off the Texas Creditors was commenced last week at the United States Treasury. The first day’s business reached $2,782,606.20, in 203 cases. Meu are never behind hand when money is to be paid them. Ex-President Van Uuren was thrown from his horse a few days since, and his head se verely but not seriously contused. Wo are sorry for Martin, but to save us we can’t help suggesting that Esop is now reversed. For once the Horse was too smart for the Fox. A Certain Millerite author wrote a book proving that the world would come to an end in three months, ftnd then tried to get a pub lisher to print it and wait nine months for his pay I The publisher didn't like the looks of the last six months. Receipt of the News from Cincinnati by the Press. The Charleston Mercury says, of the Cincin nati nomination, that it will surprise the peo ple of this State, but not us. We predicted it i long ago. South Carolina would have greatly | preferred Mr. Fierce—after him Mr. Douglas. Hut this gentleman lias shared the fate of Mr. Pierce, and thus the first departure from a wise and established policy—the first conces sion to mere temporary expediencies—the first affiliation with National caucuses—has been rebuked by the signal disappointment of those who led the movement. In the very opening of the happy revolution which they professed to inaugurate, they find themselves complete ly at fault in their hopes, their arguments, and their calculations. The Mercury and those who agree with it, having never committed themselves to any candidate, believing in entire independence of party entanglements, can accept nnd endorse Mr. Buchanan without grimace. As for Mr. 8., himself, he is as acceptable a man, view ing his eminent public career, ns could be pre sented to the South. The Mercury then lauds Mr. B’s. Conservatism, ability, and experience, und there stops. The Charleston Eveuing News gives in its adhesion to the nomineo. Have not seen its article. The Charleston Standard goes over very minutely, Mr. Buchanan’s political history, and gives in its adhesion to him, as the most available man against Black Republicanism, trustworthy enough, and very able ; it would have liked Pierce or Douglas could either have been elected. • The Columbia (S. C.) Times won’t support Old Buck, because lieisa Federalist, &c., &c., will consolidate the government as far as he can; he is a renegade it says, from the Whigs, a Tariff man and a Freesoiler; and his nomi nation is a rebuke of tbe Administration.— Promises more thunder in next paper. Tiic Columbia South Carolinian would rath er have had Pierce or Douglas, or some ac ceptable man not before thought of. But will support Buchanan if a good platform is fixed up. ft further says : “If we have to choose between Mr. Buchanan and a Black Republi can, our people can have no alternative, and the Ides of November will show South Caro lina sustaining right and the Constitution.” The Savannah Georgian sheds a parting tear for Pierce and Douglas, but greets Old Buck with a mighty bland smile. It wipes its face quick, and dosn’t, by any means, choke with emotion. Brooks and Bummer Affair. The minority Report in this affair, signed by Messrs. Cobb of Georgia and Greenwood of Ar kansas, occupies four columns in*the Charles ton Courier, is very elaborate, able, and use lessly long. It sets out witli an inquiry into the nature and extent of the privileges of the Houses of Congress, claimed to have been in fringed ; declares that Congress has no powers not delegated to it by the Constitution; that the power to punish a citizen unless derived from that source, exists not at all, and that it does not exist there. The report then takes the broad, fiat ground that neither Senate nor House has tho INHERENT right to define their own priv ileges, and punish violations of them ; if so, they would be at once, legislative, judicial, and executive powers, making laws, expounding them, and executing them—perfect despotism. As to the “necessity” argument, viz: that Congress must have protection, there is no ne cessity which will warrant exercise of undele gated powers. The report next claims that all the constitutional powers delegated to Con gress for its protection have reference to con gressional proceedings alone, us such; Con gress may only protect itself at present, from disturbance of its delibtratious, either from its own members or from outward sources; if it desires further protection it must provide it by law. As to the argument that Mr. Sum ner was constitutionally exempt from liability for words spoken in debate, it is clear that the clause under which this is claimed, refers only to legal liability. Two strong points are next made, viz : that no member should be permit ted to use language unnecessary to the trans action of official business ; or if so, should not be.pennitted under color of congressional priv ilege to print and flood the country witli libel lous matter so made use of on the floor. Even the British Parliament whose general example iu those cases furnishes bad precedents, will not allow the circulation of improper language used in debate. Judge Story is here quoted at some length in support of this denial of rightj to circulate libellous matter. Finally the report holds that whatever rights to pun ish, Congress may posses, they only apply to offences committed in teuton of the Houses. This case is not within the jurisdiction of Con gress, and must go to the Courts for trial. tine point ot importance, and some minor ones, we have omitted above. The first one it may be well to mention, namely—the majori ty's censure of Messrs. Koitt and Edmunsou for being aware of the assault, and in the vi cinity, prior to its commission. This ridicu lous position is treated cavalierly and as sim ply monstrous. We are truly surprised at the mystification that has been thrown over this whole subject by the press ami the majority report; but at nothing more than tlie sacred character claim ed for the Senate Chamber by some papers. The bricks and plastering nnd boards are not sacred! To worship them is heathenish bowing down to wooden idols, and gods of stone. Though Mr. Butuner may have thought them sacred, we confess we do not; and as it turns out they were not sacred enough to avert punishment for his desecration of the true Senate—Senate in session. Annexation of Kansas. Washington advices to the sth, state that benatoi 1 rutnbull, with a view to quieting the disorders iu Kansas, is preparing a bill provid ing toi its immediate annexation to Nebraska. Rev. Dr. Crawford, late President of Mercer University at Penfield, has accepted a place iu tbe Union University of Tennessee— what Chair he takes, we have uot seen stated. The Old Maids down on Old Buck! “ Old Maid” is out aguiust Buchanan in the New York Evening Post. Hearhowshe talks: The Presidential chair (I presume that is sufficiently capacious) should at any rate, be occupied by a complete Human Being, and this fact, of itself, should dispose summarily of the claims of the more or less honorable Buchanan —for if there is one principle more clearly settled than any other, it is that an Old Bachelor is at most but a Half-Man ; and how can such a person make more than a Half- President? Now, sir, it is bad enough to have a man at the head of the White House - who is destitute of a buck bone ; but to have one who in addition to this anatomical defect, has the moral defect of being destitute of his most na tural and essential complement—a Wife—would be truly monstrous. Imagine the disgrace of having our National Palace converted into a Bachelor’s Den ; our National Board presided over by a .Single Man ; our National Fire pok ed by a single Tong ! Old Maids are excusa ble, their position not being a matter of choice; but old bachelors—bah! The very name is sickening. The wife who will let her husband vote for such a man, ought to be Lynched, or, if you prefer, Brooks-ed. I ask you, sir, if it is not notorious that old bachelors are the most selfish, the most intriguing, the mo,t dangerous, the most dyspeptic of mortals? And then to think of a Bachelor who has lived in Europe ! I decline to pursue the subject— my motto is that of the Western hunter : “Bear and forbear.” After that, though we do not pretend to be one of Mr. Buchanan’s advisers, we should cer tainly buck up to some pretty girl right away. Who knows but the above is a sly hint to the old gentleman, (only 66) to try his luck? Any smart man might get married by the fourth of March next, and it would be grand to have the wedding come off just before the Inauguration, on the portico of the National Capitol!— Wouldn’t that be glory enough for one day ? We hope Old Buck will seriously consider it. , President Pierce Hung in Effigy at Concord! A dispatch dated Concord, N. 11., June sth, says: This morning the effigies of Franklin Pierce and Preston S. Brooks were hanging in front of the State House, eighty feet from the ground, on the Pierce and King liberty pole erected in 1852; an effigy of Col. George hung in another part of the city, bearing an inscrip tion upon his front, “ The glorious and god like Administration of Franklin Pierce.” Wetumpka Canal. The Wetumpkans are talking about a Canal around the Falls of Coosa above their city, for purposes of commerce and manufacturing. A suitable dam, canal and basin are pronounc ed feasible by a writer in the Spectator, the whole not to cost over $60,000. As to cost, our Wetumpka friends needn’t mind that.— They’ve a “pocket full of rocks.” Singular Phenomenon at Oswego. During the thunder-storm at Oswego last week, the lake suddenly rose to the height of three feet, and as suddenly fell again. This was repeated several times, causing a general commotion in the harbor, vessels being tossed back and forth. Gen. Small of Philadelphia, has been arrest ed and imprisoned at Harrisburg, for refusing to obey an injunction of the Supreme Court debarring him from tbe command of the Sec ond Brigade, Philadelphia. His commission is from Gov. Pollock-—Mr. John Tyler, son of Ex-John, is his contestant for tho post. Ralph Metcalfe, was last week re-elected Governor of New Hampshire, by the Legisla ture of that State. The vote stood Wells, Dem., 150—Metcalfe, Opposition, 175. An Editor Stabbed. During the Convention at Cincinnati last week, Geo. P. Buell editor of the Democratic Review, published at Washington, D. C., made a speech one night, in front of the Burnett House, on which he took occasion to denounce the know nothings and abolitionists, llgjvtrs interrupted by an individimljjiJJi-c-tlrowiq and the matter finally—caißo'To blows. In the melee, Buell was seriously stabbed in the back with a large knife, the instrument pene trating the lungs, and inflicting a dangerous wound. Invincibility of American Soldiers. A letter from El Nicaraguense say that Win. Irvin Langsdale, of Kentucky, who was in the battle of Rivas, and who made forty eight shots at the enemy with a Kentucky rifle, kill ed forty eight Costa Ricans! He occupied a place of security, took rest in shooting, saw twenty-six of them fall himself, the balance others witnessing. He is one of those few sharp shooters who will, off baud, at the dis tance of one hundred yards, km ck out the middle spot of the “tray or hearts” nine times out ten. Goes to the Penitentiary. Mm. Lnmbden, Captain of a Yankee craft, has been convicted at Norfolk of an attempt to carry off slaves, and sentenced to five years in the State Penitentiary. There are four more indictments against him, and as the evi dence is the same, he will probably have to spend a considerable portion of hie existence in tho service of the State. Precious Bullets. Capt. Ryder, who had an encounter with Arabs on the coast of Africa, had a ball taken from his leg at the Massachusetts General Hos pital, which proved to be a garnet stone care fully polished. For want of lead, the natives use the pebbles. Captain Ryder Las another °f them in the thigh, which may be a diamond. Mock Strawberries. A Indy, in Chicago, Illinois, says; Cut up ripe peaches and soft mild eating apples, in the proportion of three to one, into pieces the size of strawberries, nnd mix them with a proper proportion of sugar, and alter thev have stood together a few hours and mingled their flavors, even an amateur, if he will not look at the hash, might mistake it for straw berries. Wheat and the Rust. M e hear complaint of great injury bv the rust to the Wheat cops in the Eastern part of our county. Some fields, we are told, are verv nearly ruined by it—so much so ns to make it necessary to procure seed for another sowing from other places.— Eutaw (Ala.) Whig. A despatch says, the testimony in tbe case of the stabb.ng of Mr. Buell in Cincinnati shows that be was attacked by Democrats, who heard nun call himself an “American.” A western editor suggests as a good rallying cry for the Black Republicans: Millions for black wool, but not a cent for white sheep! TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS. Further from Kansas —More Bloody Work St. Louis. June 6.—The Kansas City En terprise, of Monday, the 2d inst., snys J. M. Baynard left St. Bernard for Westport, on Fri day last, and has not been heard of since. It is supposed he has been murdered by the abo litionists. D. M. Hamilton and John Lux, who went in searcli of him, were taken by the abo litionists. Marshal Donelson and seven men were fired upon on Friday, near Lawrence, by a party of fifty abolitionists. A conflict ensued, and sev eral of the marshal’s posse were wounded. 11. H. Carty states that some men belonging to the same company were attacked, and all seriously injured by the abolitionists. He camo for men and horses. Twenty-five of Buford’s party will immediately start for the rescue. Capt. Patti’s company, who went to Hickory Point to suppress outrages, were attacked by abolitionists, and two of them killed. Another fight had occurred between some parties near Black Jacks. Nine abolitionists and thirteen pro-slavery men were killed; among whom were Captain Pattis and James McGee. Capt. Long’s company, which had been sent to look after the Wyandot Indians, were invit ed to Pattis’ command. Another dispatch bearing the same date, says: Marshal Donelson aud seven men have been killed by a party of Abolitionists; in the conflict several of the Marshal’s posse were wounded. It is reported that more of the same party were attacked, and all seriously injured. Twenty five of Buford’s men were going to their assistance. Ratification Meeting at Washington. Washington, June 7.—A meeting in ratifi cation of the nomination of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency, was held here this evening and speeches were made by Messrs. Cass, Ste phens and Douglas. Markets. New York, June 7.—Cotton is firm, and 1,000 bales were sold to-day. Flour is buoyant, and Ohio is quoted at from $5.95 to $6.10 per bbl. Wheat is buoyant, and Red is worth $1.68 and White $1.79 per bushel. Corn has advanced and is worth 54c. per bushel. Freights are drooping. The three last Ballots for President— Closing Scenes. On the loth ballot, Buchanan had 168 votes, Douglas 118, Cass 4, and Pierce 3—the New Hampshire delegates having virtually with drawn Pierce and gone for Douglas, as in their opiuion, the next best representative of Demo cracy. On the 16th ballot Buchanan had 168, Douglas 122 and Cass 6. Richardson, of Illi nois then read a telegraphic letter from Judge Douglas, offering to withdraw his name, for the sake of unanimity. Gov. Seymour, of New \ ork, spoke in favor of all the New Y ork dele gation going for Buchanan. On the 17th bal lot Buchanan was nominated by a vote of 296 —3 scattering. The Ballots for Vice President. The following is the result of the first bal lot: Hon. J. C. Breckenridge, cf Ky., 55; Gen. John A. Quitman, of Miss., 59 ; Linn Boyd, of Ky., 33; Fitzpatrick, of Ala., 11 ; Aaron V. Brown, of Tenn., 29 ; Johnson, of Arkansas, 31; Rusk, of Texas, 2 ; Polk, of Tenn., 5; Dobbin, of N. C., 13. The second ballot was unanimously for J. C. Breckenridge, of Ky. ‘1 he Convention passed a resolution by a vote of 2U5 against 75, pledging the Constitutional powers of the Government to the construction of the Pacific Railroad. Speeches were made by Messrs. Brecken ridge, Preston and others, and the Convention having fixed upon Charleston, S. C., as the place of meeting for the next Convention, ad journed iune die. The President of the Conven tion afterwards spoke. American National Councii. The American National Council which met last week, in New Y r ork, adopted the proposi tion to do away with the secret council sys tem. In the cases of contested seats, the ac tion of the Council having been adverse to the claimants, because they refused to support the nominees, several members proposed to withdraw, but did not. _ A resolution endorsing Mr. Fillmore and condemnatory of tho recent outrages in Wash ington and Kansas, was adopted by a majority vote. C. B. Bartlett, of Kentucky, was elected president, and James M. Stephens, of Mary land, recording secretary. Other officers were also chosen, after which the Council adjourned sine die. Singing in German Churches. The Germans make great account of sing ing in their worship. The hymn is regarded as a very important part of the service. In many of the German churches, little black boards are placed conspicuously about the room, on which, by means of moveable-figure blocks, the numbers of the hymns to be sung are presented to the assembly, from the open ing ot the house. The worshipper may look out his hymn at his leisure. The singing is un ique, all joining—men, women and children ; it is a perfect storm of song. No one is afraid to bear on with the full power of his voice. The house is completely filled with sound. Cotton to Brag On. Air. A. J. Bates, ot the Ridge, has sent us some stalks that will do tobrng on. They are from 18 to 22 inches in height and abound in squares. They were selected from the best pai tot Mr. Bates’ field. The species is “ Boyd’s Prolific,” which now has the reputa tion ot being the fullest bearing cotton known. Tho objection to it is, that it is difficult to gath er.—Edgefield Adv. 4th. Dreadful Affair. The Wilkes Republican of May 30, states that Jesse Cohran, of Malloryville, was quar relling with his son Jasper last week, botli be ing intoxicated, when they attacked each oth er with knives, and the son fell, stabbed in thirteen places, from the effects of which he died the following day. Jesse Cohran was committed to jail, to await his trial. Many a true heart, that would have come jack like a dove to the ark, after its first trans gression. has been frightened beyond recall by the angry look and menace—the taunt, the sa\ago charity of an unforgiving spirit. A good looking friend of ours, who is on tliis side of forty, though somewhat hoary headed, while absent from the city a few days used Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative, and on bis return called to see his lady love, but was surprised and nmused 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 Hnir Restor ative.— Af.
