The meeting of the American Party which was to have heen held on Thursday evening last, was postponed until this, .Saturday even ing, at Temperance Hall. - Political Meeting. A meeting of all persons friendly to the late nomination at Cincinnati, is called for to-day, at 12 o’clock M., at the Court House. We understand that some good Democratic revival i*.’ will be on hand, and that the doors of the Church will be open for the udmissiou of new members, repentant shiners, and especially of backsliders from tlie old faith. Prodigal sons will he invited to return to the parental man sion, and rooeive the ring, new garments, and a sandwich composed of a streak of loaf and a streak of fish— in anticipation. Part of the programme will be tlic sending of delegates to the State Conference. We are very much indebted to a friend at Chunnenuggeo, Ala., for the kind interest which ho manifests in the following letter: Ckunnknuoukk, Juno 9th, Editors Sun —dents. 1 enclose you the within, from my conviction, that it never found the light from your office; and that its circu lation is an attempt to ridicule the Democratic party and a slander on you.

Nomination of SUMNER and FITZPATRICK. Columbus, 0 o’clock, June sth, 18f)G. By telegraphic dispatch we learn that Messrs. Buchanan and Douglas having withdrawn from the contest, several names being before convention without any definite result, a cau cus was held in which the names of Sumner ot Mass., and Fitzpatric of Ala., were selected and after the withdrawal of the South Caroli na delegation, were regularly nominated, Mr. Sumners friends having satisfied the other delegation on the Southern question. The body of the above is printed in “bour geois typo, none of which is to he found in the Sun Office: also the words “Nomination of are printed in a type, none of which we have. Tho rest is as nearly as possible nn imitation of the Sun type. Wo uro at a loss to know exactly what the trick is intended for. If for wit, ’tis u lamentnble failure ; if for a hoax, tis so transparent, nobody believed it. If an “ enemy hath done it” and malice be at the bottom—if its author hoped to fasten upon tho Sun a reputation for publishing bo gus news, the trick is so very scurvy and mean, we shall not stoop to notice it farther. If wo must have enemies, we pray for manly ones, willing to fight fairly, and in the day time The Mobile papers chronicle the death of Alfred G. Eoss, Esq., which occurred iu that city on Monday evening last, and was caused by a fall from a third story window. Mr. It. had been out nil day at the Camp of the First Volunteer Regiment, superintending the put ting of it iu order. Ou returning to his room, he removed his military apparel and sat in the window, as is supposed to catch the fresh air. Being much fatigued, it is thought lie fell asleep, and thus fell up jn the pavement be low. The press speak in terms of high eulogy of the deceased, who seems to have been a general favorite with all classes. Col, Colt’s Or ami Wedding. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from New l'ork says: Col. Colt, of Revolver notoriety was married on Thursday, at Middletown, Conn., to Miss Elizabeth Jarvis, daughter of Rev. Wm. Jarvis, of that place. There was much ceremony on the occasion, and a large party of invited guests who went down in a steamer from Hart ford, gayly decked with flags, and from Col. Colt’s factory there a grand salute of rifles was fired by the workmen. Com. Eerry, of the Japan expedition, was among the guests, also Levi l). Slaium, former purser iu the ua vy, and Lieuts. Butts and Renshaw. The Col. and lady also gave a large reception party in New York at the Si. Nicholas before leav ing. They may remain abroad for a year, as Col. C. intends to travel somewhat at leisure over a considerable portiou of the continent. An educated and competent linguist accompa nies them. Col. Colt iutends to be in Russia at the time of the coronation of the Emperor in August, and will witness that ceremony in company with Gov. Seymour, the American Minister at St. Petersburg nud the Russian court. One hundred of the Colonel’s mechan ic’s with the armory band came here to see him off. These mouster weddings and hubbubs, strike us as being in mighty bad taste. Why can't a man do the thing quietly: and then go aloug on his way. rejoicing. The grand bridal cake stuck all over with Colts pistols, in sugar candy, was as arrant a piece of cockneyism as we ever heard of. That sacred ground was once held by gentle brooding doves, and smiling cupids. But the classics are getting out of fashion. The modern taste is quite a dif ferent thing, and according to its dictates, if a poor d—l of an editor should in a rash moment commit matrimony, he would l*e expected to mount & candy power-press on top of bis wed ding cake, thundering away on candy news papers ! Faugh! It does seem to ns that “in a moment like that,” an Editor of the right stripe would be oblivious of printing ink and all other remembrances of the sanc tum. But Col. Colt is a modem, and there fore mounts a platoon of pistols upon his cake, biasing away all round the room at the wad ding guests 1 Was there ever such taste till this ysar fifty-six .’ Auburn (Ala. l Masonic FemaleCollepre. Commencement day, July Kith. Annual Address by J. T. Holtzcjuw, Esq., of Mont gomery; Commencement Sermon, by Rev. S. 11. Higgins of Columbus. ■ ♦ -7 Civil War. The National Intelligencer, and the Alabama Journal, are apprehensive of wide spread civil war, growing out of the troubles in Kansas. We confess to no little anxiety on the subject ourselves, it will depend very much on the conduct of the Administration. Should it fail to do its duty, the South must maintain her rights and protect her citizens, be the consequences what they may. Poetic Prophecy. There is scarcely a great invention of the age, which has not been dreamed of, years ago, by the poets—dimly discerned; we may indeed say, foretold. Numorons instances of this might he collected with a little patient re search ; and we remember to have heard Win. Gilmore Sims, in one of his lectures, recount quitea number—among them the Steuui Engine and the Telegraph. An exchange paper gives one also, in tiie following lines from Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner. They exactly describe tho Richardson Atmospheric Telegraph, of the present day ; “ But why drives on that ship so fast, Without wave or wind ?’’ “ The air is cut away before, And closes from behind.” For tlie Dully Sun. New Bridge. The parties who wish to build aNew Bridge in tlie city, take this methodof correcting mis apprehensions. In the first place, they propose to build it with their own money, and give it to the city, to be used as a toll Bridge, precisely as tho present one is. Secondly, the city will not be taxed one dime for its construction, and when completed, it will be turned over as public property. We do not advocate this measure for the purpose of injuring property in the other eml of the town, and do not believe it will do so, on the contrary, will contribute to the com mercial interests of the city generally. The business of the place is rupidly increasing, and is destined to grow still more, and we must provide the facilities to meet this increase. Hail Rood Meeting in Early County. At an adjourned meeting of the citizens of Early county, convened for the purpose of sub scribing to the stock of the Main Trunk or At lantic and Gulf Railroad, Maj. Joel Crawford, one of the Commissioners appointed by the Legislature, called the atteution of the meet ing to the action of the Directors of the Bruns wick and Florida Railroad, refusing to relin quish their chartered privileges to the Alain Trunk Road; expressing his belief that it was not the intention of the Legislature to place within the power of a petty corporation to nul lify the will of the people of Georgia, express ed by the act of the Legislature. He did not consider that the action of the Brunswick Com pany could interfere with the charter of the Main Trunk Road; certainly not to the ex tent that making entirely void tlie act of tlie last Legislature granting State aid to the Main Trunk Rond. HPconsidered it useless to delay, on that account, taking ac tion on the subject which was the occasion of the meeting, and portrayed iu forcible lan guage the the great advautages which would result from a railroad connection with the At lantic—uot only to this section, but to the whole State, lie urged upon the meeting the necessity of immediate and decisive action. Whereupon Wm. M. Potter, Esq., offered the following resolutions, which lie supported in a short and energetic address, and which Were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meet ing that a railrond connection with the Atlan tic would greatly advance the interests of South western Georgia ; and, us it has been suppos ed that the Main Trunk Rond cannot be con structed, on account of the refusal of the Brunswick company to relinquish their char tered privileges, in that event: Be it Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the Chairman to ascertain from the President of the Savannah, Albany & Gulf Rail Road, whether after reaching Albany, the Road will be extended via Morgan in Calhoun county, Blakely in Early, to some point on the Chattahoochee river in the vicinity of Colum bia : Provided the citizens of Calhoun and Early counties will invest the amount of three thousand dollars instock. Resolved further, That if said committee succeed in making such arrangements with the President of said road, or with any Company whose charter will so admit, then tho commit tee will proceed to open books in Blakely and Morgan. But no subscription will be consid ered binding until proper guarantees of this route are made by the company. On motion of J. B. Brown, Esq., Resolved, That the committee be directed to correspond with the Justices of the Inferior Court of Calhoun county for the purpose of as certaining if that county will act with the county of Early. The Mount of Olives. The Mount of Olives near Jerusalem, Ims been purchased by a Miidnme Polack, the wid ow of a wealthy banker of the Hebrew persua tiou of Konigsborg, in Prussia. This lady in tends to beautify the place and improve the whole neighborhood, at her sole expense. The first thing she has done is to plant the whole area with a grove of olivo trees, and thus to restore it to the original state to which it de rives its name. The olive tree thrives well in that locality, and though it takes many years before arriving to a state of maturity, and sixteen years before bearing any fruit at all, it requires but little or no tending, and lasts for several hundred years. Mr. Fillmore and the Nomination. The New York Herald's Paris correspond ent, under date of the 21st ult. writes that Mr. Fillmore arrived in that city on the 2Hth from Copenhagen. He left Rome with a view to go to Russia, but found the Baltic blockaded with ice. So he returned to Paris, and will, iu a few days, leave for England. The writer adds: “ ‘ may expect him home in four or five weeks. He looks remarkably well, and I ven ture to say is the most composed candidate for the Presidency now extant. Mr. Fillmore received the first official information of his nomination by the American party in Venice, and a duplicate of it here the day before yes terday. His acceptance goes out by the same mail which carries this letter. Mr. F. endors es the general principles of the platform, and condemns all sectional agitation. He accepts the nomination as a national man.” ITEMS. Mrs. SldWc is about publishing another Uov - el hearing upon the institution ot'slavery. A lady of Memphis, Tennessee, has prepar ed, at a cost oi S2OO, n flag to be presented jo the Nicaragua volunteers, from that city. Sum Hunter, for thirty years a colored min ister in Lufuulu, Alabama, died on the. 12th ult. Marcus A. Wolf, a wealthy banker of St. Louis, has been convicted of forging land war rants. After the opera in New Orleans the other night, Madame Colson, the Prim a douna, was presented with a diamond bracelet worth $1,0(10. The London papers, received by tho last steamer, mention that a moimmcut to the mem ory of tlie itev. John Wesley is to be erected in bis native town, Kpworth, in Lincolnshire. The Wooer Gazette, under date of Vienna, the 10th ult., states that the health of the I'ope is such as to cause serious uneasiness, symptoms of dropsy becoming every day more and more evident. Charles Dickens has purchased a cottage of Queen Annie’s time, a cottage with cedars and a lawn, near London: The rising ground on which this cottage lifts its head is (ludsbill, famed by Shakapearo ns the haunt of Falstaff. General Quitman proposes, that tlie next National Convention be held in the woods, — so that by camping-out, all the delegates, al ternates, attaches and sympathisers, may be aecommodatcd. Matt Ward, of Texas, a delegate to the Cin cinnati Convention, while attending a crowded meeting in the city on Tuesday night, was robbed of his pocket book containing over $1,200. Several hundred friends of Brigadier Gener al Small, now in prison for contempt of court (Supreme Court,) marched in procession to Moyamensing Prison, Philadelphia, last week, for the purpose of serenading him. A verj excellent lady sought to instruct her grandchild in relation to the providential care of Heaven: “ Who gives you your daily bread?” asked she. “Dod!” replied the child, “ but Uncle Peter puts the butter and sugar on 1” A great buffalo hunt is to take place in the northwest this summer. The party will, it is said, consist of about 150 persons, mostly wes tern men. They are to start from their ren dezvous at St. Cloud, Minnesota, on the 20th of June, aud a month is to be devoted to the sport. A letter from Vienna mentions the death, on tlie 18th ult,, of Baron Sina, the banker, who was one of the largest landed proprietors and one of the richest men in that part of the world. The deceased, who was 73 years of age, is said to have left property to the enor mous amount of $20,000,000. Considerable apprehension of epidemic has recently been experienced by the residents of Washington and Georgetown, in consequence of a man having died of black vomit on board a vessel just arrived at the latter place from the West Indies. Effectual measures were im mediately taken to prevent tlie spread of the disease. An English paper, speaking of the sale of a collection of pictures of the late Samuel Rog ers, says they numbered 226, consisting of the works of the old masters aud modern Jinglish painters. The two days realized the very large sum of ,£30,000. The United States military asylum ut llar vodsburg, Ky„ was burnt down last Sunday. This is one of the asylums the site of which was selected by General Scott in 1852, under a special commission of the government. The cost was SIOO,OOO. The testimony taken by the Congressional Committee iu the Brooks and Sumner case shows that the first blow did not stun Mr. Sum ner, and that he was not knocked down, but was “jerked down” by Mr. Brooks; after which no blows were Struck. The St. Louis Democrat, of the sth instant, announces, “ with satisfaction and joy,” that Colonel Benton accepts the nomination for Governor of Missouri. Colonel Benton has determined to take the stump and canvas the State. Jullicn, the monster concert man, is giving concerts at Liverpool and Manchester with twelve men in Zouave costume, purporting to be the trumpeters of the Second Regiment of Zouaves, “ with the glory of the Crimea fresh upon them,” —as his small bills say. Horace Greeley is making a good tiling out of the “Sumner outrage” by printing aud sell ing Sumner’s speeches at twenty dollars per thousand. That sort of an excitement briugs grist to the mill. A blast was fired at the new harbor of Holy head, N. Wales, requiring the labor of six men in its formation for ten months, and a charge of six and a half tons of powder to explode it. The quantity of stone loosened was 60,000 tons, A laboring man named Thomas Gilbert was instantly killed on the Harlem Railroad last week, by the express train for Albany. He was walking on the truck and paid no attention to the whistle. Ho had been discharged from the road About fifteen minutes before, and re marked to tho foreman as he walked away that he didn’t care where lie went to. lie was an unmarried man, about thirty-fiveyears of age. A slave having escaped from Charleston, on board the British bark Intrinsic, which sailed thence Saturday last, she transferred the fugi tive to the British schooner Victory, bound from Nassau for Charleston, where he arrived Tues day. This conduct is very Creditable to the British officers in command of those vessels. On Monday evening, Mr. Newkirk, Vice President of the Pennsylvania Medical Uni versity of Philadelphia, conferred tho degree of Doctor of Medicine upon the following nam ed ladies : Esther C. Williams, of Ohio ; Sa rah 11. Young, of Massachusetts ; Ellen J. Miller, of Philadelphia; Mary M. Halloway, ot Indiana, ’nnd Elizabeth Calvin, of Pennsyl vania. At the recent annual meeting of the British Society, the Chairman, Sir Culling E. Eardlcy, mentioned the fact that a rnil road is about to be established from the Mediterranean to Je rusalem, with the sanction of the Turkish and British Governments, and that it is likely that the material of the line from Balaklava to Se bastopol will be transferred for the purpose. Thus, materially as well ns politically, the war lias tended to open up the East to Western en terprise. Some lady or gentleman has written the fol lowing on Hugging, to a howjjjaper East: Katf hit6i moustaches; ** so much hail M*k* every tmui look like a tear/* Ihit Kauny, who no thought can fetter, Hursts •ut, “ The more like bears tlie better r Because’ her nr*tty shoulders shrugging— “ Bears are such glorious chaps for hugging/’ Sudden Return of the British Ambassador to Paris. Fi,m the U.in!nn Britannia. May IT. Considerable excitement was created in po litical circles on Wednesday, in consequence of the sudden and hurried return of Lord Cowley to his post in the French capital. Intelligence of an important and urgent nature was under stood to have reached the Earl of Clarendon ’ on Tuesday night, the effect of which was that the British ambassador started as early as four o’clock on the following morning, en route to Paris. Although most of the leading political men were absent from town on their week’s haliday, meetings were forthwith convened both at the Carlton and at the Reform Club, at which the communication received from the French government was canvassed. As soon ns parliament reassembles, questions will pro ! bably be asked in both houses on the subject, and facts of a startlingnature elicited. In the meantime we may state, from information on which we have reason to place every reliance, that the communication in question had refer ence to the secret troaty entered into between England, Fiance and Austria, contemporane i ously with that public treaty to which the oth er belligerent powers, together with Prussia, are parties. The Russian plenipotentiaries, it is understood, have expressed themselves in ’ terms of high dissatisfaction, and have speci ! fically remonstrated against certain clauses cf | the secret treaty, which they conceive to be inconsistent with the spirit, if not the letter, of the treaty to which the ratification of tlieh own government has just been affixed. To say more at present on a topic of so critical a nature, would obviously be prematnre. Dr. Palmer, tho English Poisoner. A Paris correspondent of a New York paper says: Tho trial of Palmer for the Rugely mur der, which is now taking place in London, ex cites as much interest in Paris as if occurring before a French tribunal. It is difficult to say whether servants, jurisconsults, medical men, or the sporting world are most occupied about it. The more lively interest is certainly evinc ed by the last. The bets were two to one be for the examination of Dr. Taylor that the prisoner would be found guilty, since which, however, a great change of opinion has de clared itself. The odds are all now the other way, and it is thought the prosecution will break down for want? of proof. That Cook died from strychnine no body doubts, but the jumbling up of the viscera, it is believed, has saved the prisoner. Nothing, perhaps, could more effectually show the different relations which Fi ance and England now have towards each other, in consequence of the telegraph, than this trial. The two countries are, grad ually, as it were, spite of their language and the opposition of their habits, amalgamating. Every pulsation in the one is met by a corres ponding vibration in the other. The lapse of a quarter of century must inevitably produce changes which will equal those of two hun dred years of their past history. ♦ ■ Tired of Freedom. The Clarkesville (Tenn.) Chronicle of the 6th instant, has the following: Mr. John S. Hart of this city received, a few days ago, his negro man .Joe who ran away nearly two years ago. He was apprehendred in Indiana a few miles from Henderson, Ivy., to which place lie was taken and placed in a jail there. Joe says he has been all over “freedom,” and Canada, but being a free negro aint the thing it is supposed by most colored individuals to be. He says he became entirely disgusted with everything north of Mason andDicson; and was on his way back to his master when he was taken up ! Joe is a mighty smart nigger. Snake Story. Mr. A. Scrutchins, of Sumter county, tells us that an enormous Rattlesnake was recently killed by Mr. Whitsett, of Lee county. The dimensions of the monster he does not give, but says, that a short time before his capture he had dined sumptuously on Venison. In him was found a half grown fawn which was swallowed whole. We think the fact presents another proof of the power of fascination sup posed to be possessed by these animals. How could he upon any other principle capture a fawn of any size.'— Americas News. Columbus. Some two weeks ago, we visited this beauti ful and flourishing city. Not having visited it for the last eight or ten years, we were great ly surprised at the improvements which have been made within that period. It was with difficulty we could recognise spots, formerly most familiar to us. The beauty of its loca cation, the handsome style of its improvements, render Columbus one of the most attractive cities of the Sout h. The “Perry House,” under the superintendence of Mr. Bass, is a well kept and neatly furnished hotel.— Americus News, Brunswick Stock. The recent action of the Board of Directors of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad, has not yet brought stock of the Brunswick Land Company to a very high figure ; last week 109 shares were sold at Broker’s Board, at $7 ; and on Saturday 300 shares, at $7.50. Sac. News. Brunswick Items. The piles for tho foundation of the center pier of the St. Ilia Railroad Bridge, are driv en. We learn from Col. Schlatter that but 12 feet of sand overlies a stiff blue clay in the bottom of the river. A large force of carpen ters are now engaged at the St. Ilia Bridge, and owing to the extremely low water of the river tho work is progressing favorably and rapidly. We were taking a short rainblo last Sab bath evening; our attention was directed to a patch of fine looking corn in the enclosure of Capt. Stockwell. Yesterday we had it meas ured, and found it 11 feot 10 inches in hoight. During a thunder-storm on Tuesday morn ing the 29th ult., at half-past one o’clook, at Oak Grove, the residence of F. M.

No further injury was sustained than that the negroes were much alarmed Herald IDA. ♦“ Professor Morse, the inventor of the mag netic telegraph, left for Europe on Saturday, iu order to assist at some experiments which are being made across the water in submarine telegraphing. Hp is to be four or five months absent. Prof. Morse made his first visit to Europe some fifteen years ago, when he laid Ids schemes before the government of Europe. He will find great changes—the whole Conti nent bound in a net work of wire. The Troy Budget says that Mr. Sumner read his speech to Senator Seward before he deliv ered it in the Senatc.and that the latter listen ed with regret to the extravagant provocations with which it was filled. He entreated the Massachusetts Senator to make it less offen sive, and advised him to curtail those very passages, and to strike out those accusations, which proved afterward so offensive to the Senate and the public; but Sumner refused to make any change.
