Newspaper Page TextCOLUMBUS: Wtdnridtv Mornliig, Junr 11, 1850. LARGEST CITY CMCULATIO*. Tho Weather an<l the Btreet*. On Sunday night we lintl quite a sharp rain with much thunder, lightning and wind. On Monday, about 4 r. m., it commenced pouring torrents, tho storm opening with a severe blow and hail; and it continued to rain more or less briskly, till a late hour of the night. Yester day we had ttomo showerings, and at this wri ting tho clouds betoken further supplies— which, however wo do not need just now. The torrents and pools of water which wo have latoly seen in our now handsome streets, admonish us that under much longer continu ance of the gullying process, they cannot re main handsome, norconducivo to health, it is easier to prevent tho formation of gullies than to fill them up after they are formed. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, authoress of “ Fash ion and Famine,” and many other works, is about starting in New York, a magazine of her own, to be called “Mrs. Stephens’ Illustrated New Monthly Magazine.” Tho Augusta Constitutionalist says that white whoat, of the finest quality, is now com ing into that market, and that in a few days they will have new Hour for sale W. and N. O. Telegraph Company. A special meeting of stockholders in this company will be held in Washington on tho 19th Juno, to consider tho project of leasing their line, and for other purposes. The regu lar annual meeting will bo held on the 2d of July. The ilrooks Meeting in Savannah, failed to transpire. The Republican says “it is glad to learn” that tho callers of it agreed to its indefinite postponement. A few days before bo delivered his speech, Sumner wrote a letter to Theodore Parker, of which the following is an extract: “ The tyranny over us is complete. Will the people submit to it ? When you read this, I shull be saying in the Senate that they will not. I shall produce the most thorough phi lippic ever heard in this legislative body.” Since the Hon. Edward Everett’s speech about the troubled state of the country, tho Connecticut Legislature lias renewed its invi tation to him to lecture in New Haven. And since his signature of the “Sumner testimonial,” we suppose they’ll invite him to duplicato the lecture. Cassius M. Clay is “sloshin around” in Kentucky after the old style, dwelling on the aggressions of slavery, and the duty of inde pendent men in the present “ crisis.” California Flowers. The San Francisco Herald of May sth, speaking of a private garden in that city, says: “There is no place where plants and shrubs flourish as in this State. Geraniums grow in tho open air the whole year round, and plants which aro annuals elsewhere, such as hearts eases, foxgloves, larkspurs, daisies, &c., are perennial in this climate. Pinks of every hue and odor, luxuriate in our soil, and grow to tho nstonishing height of six feet, blooming in all seasons, and acquiring a size in circumfer ence of more than ten feet.” Pinks ten feet around ! That is to say three and a third feet across! Send us some of the seed, quick. We expect it was atall girlwith a pink silk parasol, that the editor saw. W aste. We notice a long article going the rounds of tho press under this caption, setting forth the millions that are yearly lost to the South for want of working up tho “ waste portion” ns it is called, of the cotton plant. The bark of the stalk is good for tho manufacture of rope, and of paper; the seed for oil, soap, oil-seed cake, &c., &c. The article alluded to presents quite an enchanting nrrny of statistics, and mauy arc of opinion that we of the South, should immediately proceed to act upon it.— Rut we beg the statistic-makers to have mercy on our already exhausted lands—our old red h’lla blushing for shame at our cruel neglect of them —our deep ravines and gullies telling of havoo and ravage of the floods, and yawn ing horrible rebukes. Unless it can he shewn that the “cotton waste” when worked up, will more than repay us for what is thus lost to the soil in mauuros, we see uo use in “ going off tho handle,” because of the fifty millions, which it is said wc aro annually losing. The attention of the South should primarily uud immediately he devoted to recuperation—to gutting bnck to where she has fallen from ; and to stay her onward progress to the day when her bleak hills will refuse to grow cot ton for “waste” or for wear. Unless the new move therefore, lead us in this direction, we do not second tho motion. Opening of the Ball. The Ball is fairly open ! Hurrah for Buck and Breck ! is the cry of the Democratic Prpss; while the Opposition have already com menced raking among tho dead ashes of the past for powder and ball. “Thy sins be for given thee,” is not a maxim with either politi cal party, and Messrs. Fillmore and Buchanan will soon see themselves in most refractive looking glasses, and he duly traced back to Shorn, Ham and Japhet. Their youth and childhood will be renewed for them, and they will again revisit the scenes of boyish days and early associations. Woe unto either now, if over they cheated nt marbles, whispered in “moetin”’ or whistled in school, for it will soon be spread before tho country. Long ex tracts from forgotten speeches on tariffs and bauks and Texas, and what not else, will stare them in the face fresh as when they gladly saw them in print tho day after delivery ; and much sometimes will they wonder if they rtallp didsay that! While both gentlemen, ere the campaign closes, will beproveu as destitute of character, patriotism or talent, ns a snowbank is of flowers. Thank Heaven! tho fray is shortlived, lly the first frost, we hope all will be over. Quiet and peace will succeed the mad battle, and the country be moving steadily on with her wonted dignity, composure and prosperity. The June Bug. There is a bug veil known to jusenile.s a the Juuibug, and highly prized by then). His “stomach’’ is shielded with a burnished coal ot mail, serrated like ancient armor ; hi llock is radiant with green and gold. Dearly do urchins love to make capture of him, hunt iug him out among the quince bushes, Ins fa vorite haunt, and having made seizure ol’ him, proceed with various uud divers threads to harness him to tiny cars of paper; then do they release him, and watch with sparkling eyes, his airy flight, higher ami higher into tho empyrean, a veritable fairy o turn-out, worthy of Queen Mob. Or perhaps with sin gle thread, and Hint a long one, they let linn slip: hut cheated with delusive hope of free dom, lie goes, humming round their heads discoursing—to boyish ears—sweetest music. Well—it isn’t of him we write. We like him. We should be pleased to see him now, by vir tue of “ auld lang syne,” and to remind us of | the time, when, according to popular notion, ! boys are wantonly and wickedly cruel. No! wc write of another June bug, black, long-bodied scamps, that just about this sea son of -the year make their debut in many Southern homes, and many specimens of which wc have already had sight and apprehension’ of. The Juuibug is a modest fellow, and well-be liaved. He doesn’t go much into society. He will not come into the parlor unless the boys drag him in. Rut this black fellow affects even the best society, lie comes humming into the room, circles round a minute, and— vrip! down he comes upon the very paper upon which, it may be, you have just written. “ Adorable Angel,”—for he is no respeetor of persons or places. Notv do not attempt to re move him, unless by a flip of the thumb and middle finger. He carries with him a small sccut-pouch, filled with an acrid, pungent fluid, much resembling the aromatic vinegar that ladies used to carry in small sponges en cased in silver, as a defence against dull ser mons and sudden surprises. Moreover lie will bite, and has a good set of teeth. His favorite resting-place is just between the inside of your collar and the nap of your tieck ; and if dis turbed, ns he retreats down the small of your back, you become vividly aware that he is a vulgar person, and does not trim liis toe nails—a fact, which, if lie lived in Ohio, where divorces arc easy, would he good cause for his wifo to procure legal severance from him.— Well what about him? Are we going to serve him up entomologically ? Not we. W T e don’t think enough of him. Moreover we don’t know how to do it. Anybody wanting that to be done, must send on a specimen bug to Prof. Agassiz. No. We are going use him to get rid of him, and to make a good suggestion, as fol lows :—considering flow we Southerners are tormented with bugs, and beetles, and mos clietos &e., &c.—how we fret and fume and fan, wouldn’t it be aTgood idea to have additional sashes to our windows, and have false doors, made of wire-gauze. The thing is practicable, and cheap, and effectual. We could thereby live in aud possess our souls in pa tience; have the air without insect adultera ation, and tho light, and comfort, and happi ness. For a long time we used to be bothered, in places of business particularly, to keep out the cold air from the doors, in winter. At last we got up to glass doors. And some of these days we’ll get up to wire-gauze doors and windows in summer, much as people may laugh now. We hope to live till then. Apro pos of this, we know a parson who lmd a big frame made and covered with netting, in which to write liis sermons. He never thought of the sash and door—else he might have had the whole room to himself, instead of living in a coop. Let the furniture men take these hints. They’ll find it “ pay.” The American Council. Wc have already stated that this Council had abolished in toto, tho seevesy feature of the party. In addition to what has been giv en, we annex the following only other note worthy proceedings: Resolved, That a pledge of honor is recom mended to the several State councils for adop tion by them as embodying all the principles, aims and objects of the American party. The “Fledge of Honor” proposed is simply a pledge to the principles of tho American par ty to support for office no man who acknowl edges any allegiance to any foreign power, or who refuses to acknowledge the Federal and State Constitution as paramount to all other laws. To these declarations the candidate is to pledge his “life, liis fortune and his sacred honor.” Resolved, That the extreme partisan meas ures of the administration democracy on the one side and of tho black republicans on the other, driving the country with frenzied zeal into the most dangerous sectional strife, not only requires prompt and signal rebuke, but abundantly proves that neither suction can be safely trusted to administer the affairs of the republic : and as the conservators of power and constitutional right and of a free press and a free speech, without licentiousness in either, tho members of the American party in the Sen ate and House of Representatives he and they are hereby requested to vote for the prompt expulsion of any bowie knife democrat or Sharpe’s rifle black republican who shall out rage by his acts the rules which should ever govern the supremo legislature of this coun try. These resolutions wore duly adopted and the Convention adjourned. Accounts from Havana by the Black War rior, state that war between Spain and Mexico is imminent, for it is said if President Coiuon fort should not settle the claims of Bpain im mediately, a second division of the fleet, con sisting of eighty war vessels, with several transports, conveying troops, will he dispatch ed to operate against him. Among the passengers by the Canada, which left Boston Wednesday, were Mr. Crumpton, the late British Minister, and Messrs. Bnrelav Matthews and Roweroft, the late British Con suls at New York, Philadelphia and Cincin nati. Madame Henrietta Boutng was buried on the 2d of May, in the convent of Mnrieutchel, near Dresden, in which her younger sister is a nun. The interment was attended only by her husbaud, Count Rossi, her mother and four children. Into resting News by tho Niagara. (iiiL.vi Britain. —The Bank ol England, mi the 22d, reduced the rate ol discount 4or tL<- bills of more than tpxty days from seven to ix per cent., short bills remaining at six per cent. The London Times think the affair.- in Cen ti nl America will compel a combination ol Great Britain and the United States lor their adjustment. It also says that Mr. Buchanan s statement “that there is nothing to arbitrate” is untenable, and suggests the Emperor ot Ku-sia as arbitrator for the United States. The trial of Palmer for poisoning his .sport ing friend, Cook, continues. The defence is closed. The case turns mainly on the medi cnl testimony, whether or not the symptoms of death accord with the symptoms of posion by strychnine. The most eminent physicians of Great Britain have given evidence which seems equally balanced for and against the prisoner. The case excites extraordinary in terest. The testimony is valuable, as making public that vegetable poisons are readily de tected long after death. Lord John Russel gave notice that on Mon day he should ask Lord Palmerston a question with a view of ascertaining whether it was the intention of the Government to interfere in the war between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Tho Danish Sound Dues arc still unsettled be tween Great Britain mid Denmark. The Ga zette contains a Board of Trade Notice, stat ing that the Danish Consuls in Russian ports have been instructed to afford the necessary commercial facilities to British subjects until British Consuls can be sent to Russia ; also, announcing that Caithagena will bo doomed a free port from the first of September next. Franck. —Baron Jiubner has presented bis credentials as Minister from Austria. No res ident minister has yet been appointed from Russia—Count Orloff at present performing the duties. The Prince Maximillian of Aus tria and Oscar of Sweden have attended a re view and the balls given in their honor by the Emperor. The baptism of the Prince Impe rial will take place about the the middle of June; the Legislative Session will be extend ed to witness the event. M. Tliicry, historian of Norman conquest died at Paris on the 22d ult. Spain.— The Democrats had brought for ward a vote of censure on the Government re specting the recent troubles at Valencia, but it was negatived by a large majority. Prussia. —A postal convention has been signed between Prussia and the United States. Herr Von Rosclion has been sentenced to five years imprisonment in the Fortress, for his recent duel with the Minister of Police. Russia. —Navigation was opened at St. Pe tersburg May 18. Commercial advices as yet, do not describe any material variation in the course of trade. The rate of exchange at St. Petersburg was steady. The prohibition of exports continued but was expected soon to be removed. The Empress Dowager of Russia had arriv ed on a visit to her brother, the King of Prus sia. The Czar has gone to Warsaw. The first English steamer bound to Cronstadt, called the Tyne, has been lost, with all her cargo, off the island of Osell, in the Gulf of Findland. The East. —-The evacuation of the Crimea by the French proceeds rapidly. Letters to May 10th state that the Russians had hung several Tartars for assisting the Allies. Some had also been sent into exile, and others con demned to work on the roads for life. The scurvy had appeared in the English regiments. A banquet had been given to Sir Colin Camp bel. Peace had been proclaimed at Tiflis. The capture of the Circassian village of Su nech and six thousand cattle by the Russians is confirmed. Letters from Corfu report the lonian Island quiet,. There is a flourishing crop of olives, and currants promise well. Southern Railroad Association. This Association, composed of the officers of all the Southern railroads, has been convened by its President, R. R. Cuyler, Esq., of Savan nah, to meet at Ashland, (Slash Cottage,) on Tuesday, Bth July next. The objects of the meeting are to regulate the business relations of the Southern Roads, and combine them in one complete system. As the Association is composed of intelligent gentlemen engaged in the consistent support of Southern interests, we may expect from their meetings something more than a mere arrangement of freights, fares, guages and schedules. We may expect a development of a railroad commerce, and the recommendation of a con certed plan of Southern improvements worthy consideration and adopted by the Legislatures of the Southern States. Reciprocally inter ested, as all railroads in the same section must be, we may expect that the stronger shall aid the weaker, at least by recommendation to capitalists and commercial cities. The Richmond aud Danville Railroad should be extended to a connection with the Georgia roads. The Virginia and Tennessee Road should extend its aid and countenance to the incomplete section of the Great Southwestern Railroad, terminating for the present at Mem phis, but destined to be connected with Mobile, Savannah, and N. Orleans. The Central Road should bepushed into Kentucky and into South ern Ohio. But, above all. the Association should re commend to the Southern States the connec tion of a common trunk, by way of El Paso, to the Pacific Ocean. This important work will develope a home market, a field of internal commerce, a current of travel and intercourse, in which every part of the South will partici pate. It is not, however, for us to trace the physi cal or political consequences which will follow its completion. We would, however, remind our fellow citizens, that as the immediate vi cinity ot our city has been selected as the place for holding this Convention, it will afford an excellent opportunity tor impressing upon it the common interest of the Southern cities, as well for displaying their proverbial hospitality towards the intelligent gentlemen who are ex pected to assemble.— Richmond Dispatch. Maritime Law in the British Parliament. An interesting debate in the House of Lords hail taken place on maritime law. Lord Colchester moved that Parliament dis approves of the couduct of the Plenipotentia ries of Paris, for having abandoned, without the knowledge or sanction of Parliament, the principle inherent in all belligereut powers, of capturing enemies’ goods on board neutral ships. Lord Clarendon made an able speech in re ply. baying reference chiefly to the position ot the United States, lie quoted Mr. Morey’s letter on the subject, calliug it moderate and dignified. He defended the course of tiie Brit ish Plenipotentiaries iu giving up a principle which it was impossible to maintain. Lord Derby, in a strong speech, denounced the abandonment ot this ancient privilege, as not only luitnuliting and derogatory, but dan generous to the interests of England. It was favorable to Franco, who proposed it, anil fa tal to Great Britain, who assented to it. After further debate, the motion was lost, a majority of 54 being against it. An Episcopal church paper is about to be Started in Louisville. Kentucky. Macaulay and the Quakers. .several correspondents, says the Loudon Aibeiueutu, have addressed us on the relation ship of Mr. Macaulay to the Quakers —and we observe that some of ur,contemporaries occupy themselves with this question. This tact that Mr. .Macaulay i. the grandson of a Quaker admit- of lniduuhl. That Mr. Mac aulay’s grandfather was disowned by the So ciety’ of friends, also admits of no doubt. How far this public net ot repudiation may have been the consequence of “dishonesty on the part of Macaulay’s grandfather —as most of our correspondents assort —and how far early feelings may have embittered the heart oi tbe historian himself toward the Quaker body, arc questions which we cfmnot answer, arid do not care to discuss. W hen the Society of Friends cast out a member, the reason assigned for the disgrace is : “ conduct inconsistent with truth,” a phrase which the outside world mu t interpret according to its own lights. Mr. Macaulay’s grandfather, Thomas Mills, kept a bookshop in Bristol. He was not originally a Quaker, but, professing to be convinced of the truth of Quaker princi ples, he was admitted into membership in 1778. Eleven years later, lie was publicly disowned. But be continued to use the garb and speech of a Quaker and even to attend the Quaker meetings to the last. His daughter, Selina, married Zachary Macaulay ; and was the mother of the essayist and historian. These facts are matters of history, whatever inference may be drawn from them by the cu rious.” + North vs. South in Columbia College, N. Y. Something of an excitement has been creat ed among the students of Columbia (N. I.) College by the bold speech made by President King at the late Tabernacle meeting on the Brooks and Sumner affair The president used pretty strong anti-slavery language, say ing, in effect, if not words, “I despise the deed —I despise the actor of the deed—l despise the witnesses of the deed—but above all, I despise the peculiar institution that was the cause of the deed.” A number of Northern pupils had their enthusiasm roused, and en deavored to obtain and publish a general pro test condemnatory of Brooks. But this the Southern pupils of course opposed, and it was finally put to vote, when the Southerners being in the majority, the idea was abandoned. Strange—if True. The United States Military Gazette says the Government of Great Britain has issued or ders that military corps from New York, or any part of thp United States, shall be permitted to land on the Canadian side, with muskets, rifles, swords or pistols, or any warlike instru ments. Any company desirous to visit Cana da during the summer, can leave their arms at Niagara Falls, and cross when they please as citizens. It is a curious fact that American mechan ics excel all others in the manufacture of fire arms, and are at the present time filling large contracts for parties in England repreiieutiag the English government. Sharpe’s arms, par ticularly, are in high favor, both the carbine and rifle being in large demand. They are claimed to combine simplicity of construction, rapidity* of firingand extraordinary range, with perfect accuracy and unequaled safety. An order for 25,000 American rifles, with the Minie sight ancl knob for the “lock bayonet,” is in course of execution nt the extensive works at Windsor, Vt., and is now probably half com pleted. Another order for 10,000 Sharpe’s rifles, also on account of parties in England, is in course of fulfilment at Bolt’s factory in Hart ford.— .V. Y. Jour. Com. ♦ At a meeting of the Nicaragua Transit com pany in New York, Monday, a resolution was adopted authorizing the sale of the company’s two steamships—the Northern Light and Star of the West—to C. Vanderbilt, for $120,066, or SBO,OOO each. Either of these steamships is worth more than the sum named for both. Appearance of the Cincinnati Convention. The Cincinnati Commercial of Tuesda, in closing its report of the first day’s proceedings of the Convention, thus speaks of the appear ance of its members: “ The representatives of the Democracy in Convention assembled, are, as a whole, good looking men. The number of big rosy men is remarkable. The general appearance of the body of the delegates is decidely superior to that of the House of Representatives. Among other things, it is evident that the South has sent up its strong men to represent it on this occasion, as usual.” Assorted Passengers. An English ship called the “ Ocean Mon arch,” was in tbe harbor of Rio on the Bth ol April, with about four hundred female pas sengers sent out by the British Government in the hope that they might be united in matri mony with the lone bachelors of the gold re gion. They are represented as belonging to tho class of “ fallen angels.” A modern traveler in Germany gives a de scription of one of the immense rafts which occasionally descends the Rhine. He says : “ It was nine hundred feet long and two hundred feet wide, on which was i uilt a vil lage for the accommodation of the boatmen and the passengers, consisting of about one thou sand persons. There were cattle, hogs, and other animals on board; and also a shop where the passengers could obtain every necessary article.” A minister while preparing his next Sun day’s sermon, stopped occasionally to review what he had written, and, as a matter of course, to erase some portions, which, on considera tion, seemed to require improvement. While doing so, he was accosted by his little sou, a child about three years of age. “ Father, does God tell you what to preach ?” “Certain ly, my child?” “Then what makes you -cratch it out ?” DeQuincy being asked why there were more women than men, replied : “It is in conform ity with the arrangement of nature. We al ways see more of Heaven than of earth. A man in Kentucky was so enormously large, that when he died it took two clergy men and a boy to preach his funeral sermon.
