COLUMBUS: Tnrailik) .Uorningi .June ‘H, 1856. 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 iees he the preserver and builder-tip °l na trons. 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 cate, anticipate, calculate, nor speculate, ♦ —* According to Mailer, women bear hunger better than men, according to Plutarch, they can resist the effects of wine better, according to Unger, they grow old and never bald: ac cording to Pliny, they arc uevor attacked by lions, aocordimr to Gunter, they can talk a few. 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 a State, it is fair to presume that threc-fouths of it will be illegitimate, and the remaining fourth persons living in open violation of the laws of God and man.— IFiwfi. Orejan. It is mentioned in a private letter from Lon don that Mazzinihas secretly quitted that cap ital. It is thought he has gone to Switzer land. so as to be close to the Italian frontiers in ea-'e of emergency. ITEMS. The Washington (Wilkes) Republican, fbr mei'h n K. N. paper, has come out for Buch ,u„in', n> the only alternative against a Black llepiiblican President. Eighty two passengers were lost last week, in tho Hr. ship Dallas wrecked oft St. Paul s Island near Canada. Thirty odd couple just married were at Ni agara within a week—at the International, Cataract and other houses. The city authorities of Boston have deter mined to have a grand regatta on the Fourth ot July. Cattle from beyond the Mississippi have late ly been conveyed to the New York market by Railway. Gov. Grimes, of lowa, has called an extra session of the Legislature of that State, “to bo beguu and held at lowa city, on Wednes day, the 2d day of July next.” From 10,000 to 12,000 baskets of strawber ries aro uow daily sent from New Jersey to N. York city. One of the coal companies on Deep River, North Carolina, has expended $270,000 in opening their mine, and one ton per minute is now raised. At another mine 500 cars can be loaded daily. Two bushels of this coal is said to be equal to three bushels of Virginia coal. Three of the Irish political exiles —John Dil lon, John Martin and Kevin O’Doherty—have this week arrived in Ireland, and Smith O’Bri en may be expected there inthecoursc of next month. Mr. John Dillon appeared on the 3d instant in the hall of the Four Courts, Dublin, wearing liis wig aud gown. John Martin has also arrived at Ncwry. Air. Banks having declined to accept the nomination of tho Anti Fillmore Convention, that body have nominated the Hon. J. C. Fre mont as their candidate for President, and ex- Gov. Johnson for Vice President. A serious riot took place on Sullivan’s Island on Thursday afternoon between a fishing party and a large number of soldier's. One or two persons were cut, and the Marshal of Moul trievillc, who interfered, was badly beaten. A Utica, (N. Y.) lawyer undertook the oth er day to lift, on a wager, one of Tom Thumb’s dwarf horses, lie won his bet but the little spiteful got his teeth into the legal flesh and caused the barrister to howl with pain. Prince John Van Buron has given his adhe sion to Mr. Buchanan, as a candidate satisfac tory to his father and the rest of the royalty of Kinderhook. The prince intends to take the stump for Buchanan, in a few weeks, in imitation of his old friend, Col. Benton. A complete restaurant on wheels, compris ing kitchen, eating rooms, &c., is now to be seen daily circulating about the streets of Lyons. At regular hours the establishment pulls up in front of the silk and other manu factories employing a large number of hands, and the proprietor is rapidly making a fortune. Victor Hugo is about to take up his perma nent residence in the Island of Guernsey. Ho has already purchased a large house surround ed by fine grounds and beautifully situated near the seashore, and is about to occupy it with his family. Mrs. Tracy Cutler and Alias E. J. White have called a convention of the women of Illi nois, to meet in Chicago, for tho purpose of organizing a State society to “turn back the tide of oppression that is now sweeping our laud, and to express proper indignation upon the movements of the border ruffians and the attack upon Senator Sumner.” Cigar ashes will be found a remedy for the bite of the musquito aud other insects. Wet the ashes ai:il rub them on the part. The ash es contain alkali, which neutralizes the acid of the poison. Look out for Counterfeits. 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 dent is well executed, but that of the Cashier betrays a tremnlousness in execution not visi ble in the genuine. The Daltou (Ga.) Times has been shown a number of one dollar notes, on the Planters & Mechanics’ Bank of Dalton, that have been altered to tivos. They are well executed, but can be detected by holding to the light, or pass 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. From Waahington. Juki: Ift.—Notwithstanding reports that tho Administration has changed its policy regard ing Kansas, it has been ascertained that such is not the fact. The principles of the Presi dent’s Special Message and Proclamation will be enforced, and the federal and local laws of the Territory maintained. Gen. Whitfield, delegate to Congress from Kansas, arrived here this morning. He says that if the Government would withdraw the troops from Kansas, tho peace would be better preserved. He contemplates introducing a resolution in tho House with that view. He reports that the Special Commission will re turn early next week, the SIO,OOO beiii” ex hausted, Alarm in Mexico. A despatch from Washington states that in telligence from Mexico indicates that much alarm is felt by the government respecting the Spanish expedition, and foreshadows an appli cation for the protection of the United States. Southern members of Congress, it is added in the despatch, suggest the granting of pro tection on tho condition of a cession to us of the Lehauntepcc route, with the circumjacent territory.
