I. VKGKST CITY CIBrCUIiATION.
Military
The Columbus Guards, ('apt. I’. J. Seimues,
mil City Light Guards, (’apt. P. U. Colquitt,
wore out. the first on Saturday, the latter ye
lorday. in all the glory of hrnn new uniforms,
,nd presenting a truly soldier-like and anima
ted appearance.
\S itli the Light Guards the occasion was one
~l more than ordinnty interest. The Compa
ny was organized, originally under Cnpt. A.
It. Cooper, in 1840, and besides their “new
clothes ’ they rejoiced yesterday in their tenth
Vimiversary. The celebration concluded with
target firing—muskets, off-hand, nt sixty
*, ards—the result boing as follows: First prize,
Silver C.oblct) won by private.!. L. Howell,
average ttjj inches; Second prize (Medal) won
l.y piivato A. Gainl, average 4 inches ; Third
prize (Plnrne) won by Sargeant K. \.;Jack
iin, nvernge 5} inches.
We were much pleased with the briskness,
pint, and triumph with which the “markers'’
with their little Hags, performed their duties.
Y’n crowned king feels half the pleasure which
swells the breast of the hoy-soldier in a
“grown-up” Company. Nor do we blame
‘em. In love for the drum and file, we aro a
boy ourselves, and expect to be till we lay
down our arms in the storn battle ol life. (Ve
never can bear a little Kthiop scream out his,
I,or! Mammy, look at the sol -</-*-/-.■■■, ’ with
out running to the window to get our own
share of the spectacle. Say what you will
about Peace Societies, a military spirit will lor

War Prospects.
There is great stir just now in the United
States Navy Yards and all the fighting-craft
have been put in first rate order—as good as if
lighting was expected, whether such be the
incitement or not. We hardly think tiiere will
be war, though we notice that the merchants in
various quarters, arc actively at work on such
.hi apprehension, and are selling out their
tocks. They have so much interest at stake,
iheir opinion is projudicied and it behooves
them to “stand from under” before other men
find il needful to do so. The New York Herald
however, has it front “ undoubted authority
| that of course] that Mr. Dallas, not many
days ago, expressed his opinion that as soon
as the dismissal of Mr. Crumpton and the Con
suls was known in England, he himself would
receive his passports. He expected nothing
else. The passengers who came out in the
Ericsson —at least those of intelligence—were
of the same opinion.”
We attach so little importance, either to the
Herald’s statements or opinions, that we should
never think of ringing an alarm till somebody
else cried “Fire!” It. is a capital paper for
people who like excitement and scan-mag—
who love to tloat forever on a sea of rumors,
to balance on the tight rope of possibility,
ancl are pleased to learn to-morrow, that to
day’s rumor was false. Even when it knows
a thing to be true, it likes to throw around its
Intements a mist of doubt and thus prolong
the “sensation”—very creditable policy upon
the score of knowledge of human nature, but
not what we call the clean thing or the kindly.
Convict Arroßted,
\\ c loam from the Deacon of Saturday, that
a convict named Oakes, who escaped from the
Unhairm Penitentiary about throe wacks ago,
and for whose arrest a reward of two hundred
dollnr:* wa ylVorod, was arrested near West
Point, (hi., on the 17th instant. When arrest
ed he had on his person a number of ‘ skelo
ton keys’—door and trunk—and other house
breaking instruments, lie stated that ho ef
fected his escape from the Penitentiary with
these instruments, and afterwards entered one
•ip two houses in Montgomery, from which he
extracted money, clothing, &e. The Beacon
ays he is undoubtedly a bold, bud man, as
his countenance clearly indicated, and capa
ble of committing any crime, however atro
cious it might he.

\t tiie late Black Republican Convention
which nominated Col. John 0. Fremont on the
tirst ‘infoumd ballot, McLean received 196
votes, Fremont 669, Stunner and Seward 1.
The following states and territories were rep
resented, viz: Maine, New Hampshire, Ver
mont. Massachusetts. New 1 ork, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi
gan, lowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Cal
ifornia, district of Columbia: and the follow
ing Southern States: Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia and Kentucky. The Virginia and
District of Columbia Delegates declined voting
when they were crlled: Maryland voted t for
Fremont, and 6 for Melanin : Kentucky voted
for Fremont: Delaware voted for McLean;
•md the Seward and Suniuer votes were from
New York. Vf‘ al ballot being called for
md opposed, but finally agreed to, Virginia
(gain declined voting, because she was not al
lowed to poll her whole 46 votes; (.some of her
delegates were absent. 1 Kentucky announced
that her favorite was S. P. Chase but he hav
ing withdrawn she would concur in the nomin
ation.
The London Times, writing upon the Span
ish difficulty with Mexico, jeers at the idea of
the former showing tight. “ When the six ves
sels that form the Spanish Navy ‘ it says “have
driven into Yeru Cruz the one vessel that con
stitutes the Mexican Navy—in one month or
less alter that eveut. the United States will
come in, and adjourn the light to Havana. Wo
don’t know so well about that. Mr. Pierce
will not, we think, make such adjournment;
nor Old Burk, despite the “Monroe’’ plank in
the Cincinnati Platform; nor will Mr. Fillmore,
sure. As for Cos). Fremont lie is an eccentric
orb upon whoso movements we neither predi

Defence of the Atlantic Cities,
in the event of war with Great liiijaiu,
vijry s'Tiou* apprehension-, are felt by many
person -, for the safety ol'our Atlantic cities,
am) their ardent imagination paints New
York, Boston, Charleston, and other large,
commercial places, already laid in ashes and
become heaps of smoking ruins. We cannot
but think such fears premature. While it i
- that we have a very inefficient navy com
pared with that of France or England, we
would soon have hundreds of privateers and
armed merchant ships afloat, creating an im
mense diversion from the coast attuck, and
dealing most grievous blows to British com
merce. Our record thus far, shows also that
the proud “Mistress of the .Seas” has never
found a suppliant in the American Tar, and in
our naval engagements with Great Britain we
are a lung distance ahead of the game. But
tocoinetoour more immediate subject—the
defence of the Atlantic cities through their
forts. The Charleston Standard publishes co
pious extracts from a paper by ('apt. G. W.
Cnlluiri of the United States Corps of Engin
eers, on the capabilities of Charleston to de
fend herself against n naval attack. The con
clusion arrived nt is, that war vessels would
stand a very poorchanceofgetting up to the city
under the natural difficulties which exist, aud
the fire of Forts Johnson, Sumter aud Moul
trie, together with such local and temporary
batteries as might soon lie erected at various
points mi the way up. The article is very in
teresting, lengthy and elaborate, and we have
thought that a brief synopsis of it would be of
interest just at this time to our renders. It
opens with an account of some of the most ia
mous successful bombardments in history, Nel
son’s exploit at Copenhagen being the. first
mentioned. According to veracious English
historians the so called Bombardment of Co
penhagen is a mere combination of-words with
out moaning. Nelson did not attack the city
itself nor come in contact vvitli the land bat
teries and forts. He was opposed by floating
batteries, mostly old hulks, blockships and
praums ; and it was these which he destroyed.
As it was, he was the first to make overtures
to cease firing; his victory cost very dearly
in loss of life, damage to his ships, and the
pecuniary expenses of his attack. Had his
overtures not been accepted, hocoulduot, with
his crippled ships, have made good his retreat
under the lire of the crown batteries, and the
result might have been far otherwise than it
was. In 1816 Lord Exmouth, with a splendid
now fleet carrying 1000 guns, attacked Al
giers. The Algerines had a laud force of 220
guns, good, bad and indifferent; no means for
tiring hot shot, aud were so unskilful they la
dled the powder into their guns, instead of
having prepared cartridges. The action lasted
several hours, and a breeze springing up, the
British fleet gladly put to sea, to escape the
tire of the land batteries. The Dey sun'eu
dcred, however, though his batteries were not
silenced, and he inflicted upon the fleet besides
damage to the ships, a loss of 88.! men killed
and wounded. Lord Exmouth in his despatch
suys, “tho laud wind saved me many a gal
lant fellow and another officer of high rank
writes, “but for the land breeze we should
never have got out, and God knows what
would have been ouv fate had we remained all
night.” In 1888 the French with 200 heavy
gnus attacked the castle of San Juan dc Ulloa;
the Mexicans had but nineteen guns, mostly of
small calibre and very limited range; only 6
of them wove found to be of any avail, but the
French loss in proportion to the guns against
them was four times greater than the English
loss at Trafalgar. The Mexicans surrendered
through fear of the explosion of their maga
zines which were unprotected and two of which
were blown up before they capitulated.—
lu 1840 Stafford and Napier attacked St.
Jean d’Acre. It was badly fortified; the
waterfronts had 116 guns of various sizes,
while the British had one thousand guns
and very large ships, among which were
four steamers. The ships were allowed to
to take their own positions. Only Jive guns
of the lauel batteries were well served according
to Napier; and he adds that the walls of the
fort were not breached by the guns of the
fleet, aud that a determined enemy might have
held the fort with little loss. A powder mag
azine ou the land side containing 6,000 casks
ot powder accidentally exploded, and the fort
then surrendered. We next come to unsuc
cessful engagements all going to show, as the
above examples do, despite the victories won,
that :i land battery has immense advantages in
its favor, and that ships cannot contend with
forts, in 1702 h French squadron attacked
the old and dilapidated fortifications at Cagli
ari. and after three days hard fighting was
compelled to retreat. In 170-4 two British
ships t arrying 106 guns attacked a battery in
the bay of Martello, mounted with but one
barbettte gun! After two hours and a half,
they hauled off, lunch damaged and with con
siderable loss of life. In 1705 Nelson with 8
vessels and 400 guns attacked the insignificant
batteries of Fanta Crux; (Tcncriffe.) He was
repelled w iib a loss of 050 men, while the gar
rison was scarcely hurt. One single ball sunk
one of his vessels, and near 100 seamen went
down in her. In 1784, a French flotilla of 52
brigs and gunboats and 7000 men attacked a
little English redoubt on (lie isle of Marcou,
armed with only 10 small guus and garrisoned
with but 250 men. The redoubt sunk seven
brigs aud gunboats, captured one, and forced
the rest to retire with great loss, itself losing
but one man killed and three wounded. Many
other similar cases aro given; among others
Washington’s defence of Boston from Dorches
ter Heights, and Napoleon’s occupation of
Little Gibraltar ; also Moultrie’s defence of
Charleston, in 1770. The Report next takes
up the late European war and after describing
the signal failures of the Allieil Fleets, though
their efforts cost them about $400,000,000
(ten times more than all our American forts
put together) the result is summed up fol
lows :
“ To sum up the naval operations of the
Eastern war, of these colossal fleets, which
cost the Allies some $400,000,000, we have
the signal failures before Cronstadt, Bomar
sund. Fwaaborg and Sebastopol, and for troph
ie , the destruction, it safe distance, of tWo
fishing villages, of some shipping and building
ol’ ;i commercial port, and a. -mall dilapilatwl
ba t vvitli a few old Turkish guns. H that it
not glory enough for two years, we might add
the V.iiidai destruction of the Kertch-Aluseum
and the peaceful pageant in the waters ol the
Solent, commonly called the Rpithoud Be
view.”
In reference to protecting ships with iron
cuirasses or coats of mail, first suggested by
Gen. i’aixhan, the report states that iron
plates 4i inches thick are not proof against
the heavy guns of modern land batteries,
while the enormous weight of iron is a serious
obstacle to celerity of mameuvre, and greatly
endangers a ship’s equilibrium. The report
concludes as follows :
“When all the defences of Charleston harbor
arc completed and armed, we have more guns
than Oojistadt, which defied Napier aud Dun
das lor two years, more than defeated the al
lied at Sebastopol, and any one of our forts
can fire more artillery than Bomarsund, which
required a land force of 14,000 to capture. —
Wliat then, if Americans defending tlicir fire
sides and liberties, arc not inferior to Russian
serfs, have we to molest or make us afraid!—
The spirit of’76 Is not dead, though it may
sleep, aud 1 trust there are yet Moultries and
Thompsons among us who will never strike the
stars and stripes, floating o’er our fortress
walls, to the far-I'amcd fleets of any foreign
foe ! f ’
Our readers may also be glad to know that
ouv own port of Savannah is amply protected
against foreign invasion and the British Lion
will never find his way into Georgia through
that quarter.
Acquitted.
Nathaniel Lewis, charged with the murder
of Francis Hyatt, in Haywood’s Saloon in Sa
vannah, on the 27th of November last, was
tried in the Superior Court of Chatham coun
ty, on Friday last, and acquitted.
Tins decision establishes anew principle in
the operations of our law—that a bar-keeper
forfeits his life, when he refused to deal out
grog to an applicant, though the party apply
ing gives evidence of having previously taken
too much. We give below from the News, the
evidence of one of the witnesses, which is cor
roborated by others, and contradicted by none.
Joseph L. Crowell.—Was in the saloon that
night. There were six persons present, Capt.
Henry, Habersham, Bowen, the bar-keeper
and myself, besides another man whom I did
not know, whose name I understood to be call
ed Frank. This man asked the bar-keeper
several times for liquor, who refused, saying
“To-morrow you will thank me for it.” The
bar-keeper then walked to the end of the
counter and took liis seat. This man went
there and asked again for liquor, and the bar
keeper again refused him. I then heard the
report of a pistol, ancl saw the bar keeper
fall. This man then put something in his
pocket and walked away. There was smoke
at the end of the counter, between these two
parties. This man, whom I understood them
to call Frank, is now in this room. That is the
man, (pointing to the prisoner.) He was stand
ing at the end of the bar, near the bar-keeper,
when the latter was shot. No other person
was at the bar. Prisoner walked away.
Threatened War between Spain and Mex
ico.
A letter from Madrid dated May 28th, says
“ the Government has determined to proceed
with the greatest energy in the Mexican affair.
At a Cabinet Council held the day before, it
was resolved to send to the Gulf of Mexico,
independently of the naval forces detached
from Cuba, two ships of the line, one frigate
and one corvette, which arc to be placed under
the command of a distinguished naval officer.
Another Tragedy at Bayou Sara.
A terrible affray took place in Bayou Sara,
La., on the afternoon of the 17th instant, be
tween S. H. Lurty, the Sheriff of the Parish,
aud John Turnbull, a planter. Pistols and
Bowie-knives were drawn by botli parties.—
Turnbull received a fatal stab in the breast
and lived but a short time. Lurty had his leg
broken by a pistol shot, and was also wounded
in the neck with a Bowie-knife, but is not
considered in any danger.
——
For Liberia.
We learn from the Savannah Republican
that, the ship Elvira Owens from Baltimore,
left that port on Friday last, with 321 colored
emigrants for Liberia, 142 of whom were from
Savannah—that is to say sailed from Savan
nah. Two of these were from Columbus, and
both free. The Rev. John Seys, special agent
of the Colonization Society accompanied the
emigrants out, and there were also two “Libe
rians” on the return trip to their far off home.
From Texas.
The Galveston Civilian, of the 14th, in its
commercial article, says:
Although we have now fully entered upon
the dull season, and the rivers are down, cot
ton continues to come in pretty freely still, the
weekly receipts being equal to the average in
the winter. The receipts of the season thus
far exceed those of tho whole of last year ;
and, should they continue at tho present rate
until the close of the year, they will amount
to one hundred thousand bales at this port
alone. Loss than half of the crop of the
Mate finds egress through this port: aud the
export of all Texas, the current year, will pro
i bably reach 1 50,000 bales. The remunerative
i prices which have prevailed throughout the
i season show clearly that our planting and bu-
I sinoss interests havo been greatly advanced.
! There never has been a year of more substun
! tial progress in Texas than the present.
The recent day weather is creating some un
easiness for the growing crops, though timely
rains will yet render them highly productive.
From indications here, we hope to learn that
rains have fallen in the interior within the last
throe days.
Mormons.
Seven hundred and fifty .Mormons arrived
in New York on Monday. There will be from
twenty to thirty thousand Mormons arriving
in the United States this season. A beautiful
prospect is before the inhabitants of this coun
try tor tlie future. The larger portion of these
Mormons are picked up on the docks of Lou
don. Liverpool, and Havre, and many of them
are abandoned women of the lowest class.
(Mien Utah has a population sufficient to form

Tho Carolina Times has been shown a coun
terfeit note, of tho denomination of ten dol
lars, upon the Bank of Georgetown, South
Carolina, purporting to have been issued July,
1846, and numbered 4475 D. The note can be
detected in that it is a quarter of an inch too
short, and the vignette, a female bust, is very
poorly engraved. The signature of the Presi

betrays a tremnlousness in execution not visi

The Daltou (Ga.) Times has been shown a
number of one dollar notes, on the Planters

ing the finger and thumb carefully over tho
raised parts. The raised notes have the figure
5 on each corner at the top, and the genuiuc,
on the two corners at the bottom. By observ
ing this distinction, there is no danger of any
being imposed upon.
