COLUMBUS:
Tiiixriny Morning, July 1, 1N56.
I.AKOEBT CITY CIKCCIiATIOS.
We had a fine rain onflundav afternoon, cun
linuing nt a slackened pace, to a laic liour of
the night—a nwbjeot of tinivcrail rejoicin'? to
all of our citizen 1 -, except perhaps one, whose
house at the time, we regret to say, wn*- un
roofeii, ami undergoing repairs. The eonse
(|iienrr may he better imagined than describ
ed.
Everybody had a good night's rest, being
lulled to sleep by (tool and gentle winds, and
that most delightful of all soporifics, the pat
tering rain drops. The clerk of the weather
has evidently not forgotten our people, and
we hope lie will Foon “do it again.”
The Voting Men’s Democratic Club hold u
meeting this evening at Concert Kail. Ml in
terested will please take notice.
Fourth of July.
Our National Anniversary will be duly cele
brated in Columbus, with a fintnllinn Parade
by those spirit™! companies, the Columbus
Guards, Capt. Sennnes,and City bight Guards,
Copt. Colquitt.
It is the Guards’ turn to select an Orator for
the occasion, and they have made choice of
Private John Peabody. The Declaration of
independence will be reud by Private Hugh
King, of the bight Guards.
Temperance Hall has been selected as the
place for holding the above exercises.
Military Election.
At tho last company mooting of the City
Light Guards, an election was held, to fill va
caneies consequent on the resignation of 2d
bt. Blackford; 3d Lt. E, 11. Musgrove, was
advanced to the second lieutenancy; 4tli Lt.
b. B. Duck to tho third ; and Private W. F.
Plane elected to the fourth.
Tho Now Bridge,
An udjourned Bridgcmneting was held at the
Perry House, on Saturday evening last, to re
ceive the roport of the Committee on -Finance,
and for other purposes.
We learn that the sum of SII,OOU, positive
subscription, has been raised thus far, and that
no difficulty is apprehended in increasing that
sum to such amount ns may be requisite. The
probable cost of the work will be from twelve
to fifteen thousand dollars. Bight of way has
been granted to tho extent of fifty feet, (all
asked forjon the Georgia side. Nochange has
yet been made, nor will probably be made, in
the location heretofore selected at the loot of
Bryau street. It is intended to have the
Bridge completed by the first of October next.
We believe thee aro all tho particulars which
would interest our readers at present.
The meeting adjourned to Wednesday (to
morrow) evening.
‘That Bat Hole.
The dangerous rat hole, noticed iu our pa
per of Saturdny morning, was filled up the
same afternoon, with stiff red dirt, heaped up
and rammed in. We think it will stay, for
awhile at least. Much obliged to you, Mr.
Marshal, for your promptness.
Ihe Rat-man was there tho same morning,
with his ferrets and terriers, but only succeed
ed in catching three rats——whoppers however,
and iu line order to make the mouth of a
Chinaman wator. The hunt terminated in an
animated dog tight, much to the edification of
the large crowd collected, but which was cut
short, wc are glad to say, by tho interposition
of a legal gentleman who with characteristic
manliness, protested against setting four dogs
upon one.
As our Marshal hath ears to hear, we res
pectfully call his attention to other had places
in the city- pavements, and to several crazy
cellar doors, not in condition to dance a cotil
lon on, and upon which should the “stranger”
step, he would bo promptly “taken in.” In
an Ohio Court, a few days since, Dr. Mighols
obtained $7,500 damages, for injuries leceiv
ed by falling through a rotten cellar door in
Cincinnati. Query? Is it better to pay a largo
sum for damages, or a small sum for cellar
doors? Our Marshal might advantageously
cut out the above statement, and shew it to
the owners of these dangerous “man traps.”

Laud Grants to Rail Roads.
Wc understand at the General Land Oilier,
says the Washington Union, that the time of
restoration to sale and locution of the large
bodies of land recently withdrawn for the rail
road grauts in the six States of Michigan, Wis
consin, lowa, Louisiana. Alabama and Florida,
will depend on the files of the maps of final
location of the roads ; on the receipt of which
it is contemplated to restore such lands ns may
he found are not needed to satisfy the grants.

An Inoident.
About midnight, on Sunday last, we were
startled by the ip t piercing shrieks, appar
ently from a ferns !o in great agony, but which
we learn was only the “shouting” of a colored
woman, who had lost coutrol of her feelings, un
der the excitement, of some dozen hymns, sung
at a religious meeting of colored people. She
could have been heard, we think, a full quar
ter of a mile, and her cries afforded anything
but a pleasant contrast to the even flow of
good old tunes, which we lmd previously been
enjoying.
Silence at length prevailing, the leader of
the meeting, offered up a prayer, fervently
and rudely eloquent, and strange ns it may
seem, distinctly intelligible to the ear, though
wo were several hundred yards distant. When
we retired, the-‘Promise Land” was being
sung, and with a truth to time and a tuneful
ness, unrivalled. All in all, the incident was
a uniquo one, and made more so by the lateness
of the hour, and deep stillness of the night.
We learn from the Charleston Courier, that
the Washington and New Orleans Telegraph
Company have leased their line to the Magnet
ic Telegraphic Company, and will surrender
it on the 7th July iogt.
Hon. Asbury Hull, 0 f Clarke, an old line
Whig of the very first water, has gone over to
the Democracy
Rope Manufactory.
He sharpened our appetite for breakfast yes
terday. by a walk to the Carter Factory, and
climbing the steps to the sixfh story thereof,
where we found several maufijinies in operation,
manufacturing hempen Tope. The first rope
was iiiiulc on Wednesday last. The machinery
j very complicated nod not easily described;
but oi the process of manufacture, we think
we can give mu’ readers at least mi inkling.—-
The hemp is received in large bales, be.triug
no little resemblance to hay. It is first put
into a machine which loosens and mangles it
so as to prepare it for the “carder;” from this
it rapidly issues in the shape of a broad band,
about as wide ns one’s baud; next it is car
ried tu the “condenser,” from whence it issues
in tin- form of a thick cord, cube-shaped, and
about as large as one’s thumb. Three large hol
low cylinders of tin receive it, and when full arc
taken to the last machine of the sen- -, the
Kopc-luakcr proper. The cylinders are put
in communication therewith, and whilcrupidly
revolving, deliver, each a strum,!, after twist
ing it, to a common point, where it is again
twisted, and from which it issues in the shape
of perfect rope, which is wound up as fast as
made, by a large iron spool. Messrs. Torry &
Verstille are the proprietors.
There is also a set of machinery on the some
floor, for tiie manufacture of cotton rope, but
it has not yet been set going. The hemp rope
maker will turn out about 000 lbs. daily, and
wo presume, should the enterprise prove lu
crative, other machines will bo added accord
ing to the demand. Messrs. T. & V., have
our best wishes for their success. Their rope,
we havo heard highly spoken of by good judges
•of the article, and we trust that consumers
will give them a trial in preference to buying
elsewhere, thereby.encouraging a homo enter
prise which in time may prove a valuable ac
quisition to our city.
The Annual Lie.
Tho periodic lie about the Yellow Fever in
Charleston ami Savannah, has been started on
its course, making it necessary for tho author
ities and tho press to deny its truth. We arc
sufficiently well acquainted with the editors of
tho latter city, to be able to state, that they will
give duo notice of the presence of this scourge,
should it visit them this summer, which Heav
en forbid. Nor do we believe that the Charles
ton press would fail to do their duty in such a
contingency.
From Nicaragua.
By the Susquehanna, at Key West from San
Juan, we learn (through letter to the Charles
ton Courier,) that Walker was in undisturbed
possession of the State of Nicaragua, lie had
been threatened with an attack by the Presi
dent of Guatemala. That dignitary at the
head of an army of 3000 men had left his cap
ital with the avowed purpose of annihilating
the Americans ; but ere he had crossed over
half his territory, 2500 pien had deserted.—
The expedition was given up, and the crest
fallen President returned to cultivate the arts
of peace.
Walker is reported as having received large
quantities of provisions, arms, ammunition,
&c., which were landed in the presence of the
English frigate Eurydice. All was quiet and
promising when the Susquehanna left.
Sentenced.
In Chatham Superior Court, last week, as
we learn from the News, Judge Fleming pass
ed the following sentences upon the parties,
ami for the offences, named, viz.: Andrew Kea
ton, stabbing (not in his own defence) S2OO
and costs—in default thereof, 00 days in the
county jail; Geo. W. Averill, forgery, (with
recommendation to mercy) five years in Peni
tentiary ; Win. C. Morris, simple larceny,
costs, and 90 days in jail ; JohnDuon, rioting,
twenty five dollars and costs—in default 30 days
in jail; L. L. Goodwin, assault and battery,
$75, and costs; Bob, a slave, for murder of a
fellow slave, to bo hung on the 22d proximo,
between the hours of 0 a. m. and 0 i\ m.
New Steamboat.
We learn, says the Savannah News of the
29th, that there is anew and improved steam
boat now building at Long Island, New York,
designed expressly for the inland navigation
between this city and Florida. She is owned
principally by persons along the route, and is to
be fitted up in magnificent style.
-
Fires.
The Planter’s Hotel, Savannah, situated near
the Market, and owned by A. Champion, was
badly injured by fire, and water, last week, as
we learn from the Republican. The fire ori
ginated in the upper story, and was confined
to that and the roof. A cigar store on the
lower floor, kept by Joseph Siohel, had his
stock badly damaged by the water; and Mr.
Champion's Grocery Store, adjoining, was also
damaged. The Hotel was insured for SIO,OOO,
the store for $2,000, with SB,OOO on tho stock,
and the cigar store for S2OO. Damage to Ho
tel $3 to s4.ooo—to grocery SI,OO0 —to cigar
store, not stated. Fire thought to be the work
of an incendiary.
The Augusta Chronicle also records a fire in
that city, last week, on the upper floor of M.
W. Woodruff’s corn and provision warehouse,
corner of Reynolds and Mclntosh, supposed
to have been caused by spontaneous com
bustion of some refuse Gunny bagging ami
greasy old cotton sucks. Several hundred
sacks of rye and corn, 400 sacks of flour, and
a quantity of bacon were destroyed. Los?—
$2,000. coTcred by insurrance.
We have already noticed the introduction of
a bill in the United States House of Represen
tatives, for the prevention and punishment of
polygamy; Mr. Morrill, who presented it, stat
ed there was but one dissenting voice iu the
Committee, and the only difficulty was ns to
the power of Congress to legislate on the sub
ject. If it have the power we hope all haste
will be made, so as to head off the Mormon dele
gation now on their way to Washington, to ask
tho admission of Utah as a Stßte.
The Commissioner of the General Laud Of
fice has removed the land office from Lebanon
to Centre, in the State of Alabama, in accord
ance with the provisions of an act recently
passed by Congress.
No Back Out.
On Monday, Mr. Fillmore was beseiged with
calls, at his rooms in the St. Nicholas Hotel’
An effort was made to coax a speech out of
him, but he would not speak, he said, until be
had “full time for consideration.’ Alderman
Warner then questioned him directly, as to the
epurt that he had intended withdrawing from
the campaign: when Mr. F., replied as fol
lows ;
1 h.ifc already written a letter accepting
the nomination “tendered to me: but to make
assurance doubly sure, 1 now tell you that it
is my determination to stand by the party that
has nominated me; and till that party see- fit
to withdraw my name, it will not be with
drawn.”
So—-there is one vexed question settled,
beyond further controversy.

The Btate Democratic Convention.
The Savannah Georgian lias the authority
of R. B. Cuyler, Esq., for saying that a train
will leave Macon next Friday, (the 4th) at 0.1
o’ clock A. M., for Milledgeville, and return
ing, will leave Milledgeville at 7 F. M., of the
same day. By this means persons residing in
Macon and on the line of the S. W., and Mus
cogee Roads, can go from Macon to Milledge
ville, attend the Convention, hear Mr. Stiles’
Fourth of July Oration, and return to Macon
the same day.
A man uainpd Jefferson Lowery was shot,
and killed almost instantly, at the Livery Sta
ble of Jemisou, Ficklin & Cos., in Aberdeen,
Miss., on the night of the 24th ult. by u stage
driver named Richard Putnam. From the ev
idence before the Jury of Inquest, it seems
that Putnam had closed tho the stable doors,
and went up stairs for the purpose of retiring
to bed. Lowery, who was intoxicated, knock
ed at the door and endeavored to force it open,
threatening to kill Putnam before morning,
when Putnam shot him, the ball taking effect
about an inch above the left nipple. Putnam
made his escape.
George A. Smith, Eratus Snow, Orson l’ratt,
and Ezra T. Benson, all Mormon Elders, ar
rived recently at Alton, Illinois. The two for
mer passed on to Washington to present the
Constitution of the proposed State, Deseret.
The two latter are destined lor Great Britain
to take the superintendence of the Mormons
•n that country. _
Col. Fremont has formally accepted the
Black Republican nomination for the Presi
dency. Ex-Gov. Johnson, of Pennsylvania,
has also formally accepted the nomination lor
Vice, though his leader, Banks, resigned in
favor of Fremont. What becomes of Mr. Day
ton tho regular nominee for Vice ?
liy the Empire City at New Orleans, from
Havana, we learn that the Yellow Fever was
raging at Havana; also that several arrests
had been made of parties implicated with Gen.
Walker in the Nicaragua movement.
The rumor that the National Fillmore Club
had gone over to Fremont, proves to be untrue,
after much controversy. Mr. Van Piper, Pres
ident of last year’s club, has joined the Black
Republicans, and thus the rumor originated.
Litigation.
The fall of the immense furniture ware
house in Richmond, Va., noticed in yesterday’s
Sun, will probably yield a handsome fee to
tho lawyers. The Richmond Despatch says :
Messrs. Kabliston have had writs served
upon the executors of Wm. Mitchell’s estate,
and on Mr. J. D. Quarles, of whom they claim
damages for the destruction of their stock of
furniture by the falling of their house, on
Tuesday afternoon last. If we understand
the situation of the parties, the Messrs. Hab
liston claim damages because they rented
their house of Mr. Mitchell’s executors, who
had been notified by Mr. Belvin of his inten
tion to dig the foundation of his house deep
er than theirs, and because they had been noti
fied of the dangerous situation of their premi
ses and given an opportunity to move. The
executors claim, that on receiving notice from
Mr. Belvin, they employed Mr. Quarles, a com
petent builder, and instructed him to do what
ever was necessary to protect tl* property—
that Mr. Quarles was using due diligence to
prevent accident—that the complainants made
no objection to the improvements making—
and that being on the ground, they had a far
better opportunity of discovering the danger,
in time to avert it.
Tehuantepec.
lt is stated that the Mexican Government, ap
prehending the formation of afilibnstero asso
ciation in California, for a seizure of the Mex
ican territory, in which lies the Tehuantepec
isthmus, have made some offer to the Govern
ment in relation to that isthmus. Mr. Polk
authorized Air. Trist to offer fifteen millions,
in addition to the indemnity for the session of
territory, for the isthmus of Tehuantepec.
But the offer was then declined, for the alleged
reason that an exclusive grant of the same
had been made to an English company. They
now wish the United States to take that isth
mus under their protection, and use it for the
common benefit ol’ tho commercial world.
Padre Virgil returns to Nicaragua, partly
on account of ill health, partly because ho is
snubbed by his brother Ministers. A letter to
tho Philadelphia North American says:
Tho combined efforts made against him by
the foreign ministers here, succeeded not only
in damaging his social position, but even in
prejudicing his ecclesiastical relations, which
lie regarded as of far more importance. It was
only very recently, nml after a full investiga
tion. that the Archbishop of Baltimore grant
ed him the privileges of the Catholic priest
hood, the exercise of which had been pre
viously refused in a manner that deeply
wounded his sensibilities.
It is said to be the prevailing opinion in
France that its Government should take no
other part in the English difficulty with the
United States than that of offering its friend
ly mediation. The idea is scouted that, in the
event of a war between the two countries,
Franco should in any more active way lend
her support tt> Great Britain. The French
Emperor, it is alleged, has been heard to de
clare that there is no possibility of such a con
test at present; but he has, nevertheless, given
orders that a frigate of war should be des
patched to the Central American coast, to bo
kept there en surveillance.
An Irishman indulging iu sucking raw eggs
and reading a newspaper, by some mischance
contrived to bolt a live chicken. The poor
bird chirped as it went down his throat, and
he very coolly said :
“Be the powers, my young friend, you
spake too late!”
TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.
Later from Europe.
Tho .Steamship Asia has arrived with Liver
pool dates to the 14th ult.
Commercial.
The Live* pool Cotton Market was dull, and
had declined Id The sales during the ‘ week
comprised id,Ooo bales, of w hich speculators
took B r sofl and exporters 3,000. leaving 31,-
500 bales 4 all descriptions to the trade.
Fair Orleans was quoted at o;d., and Fair Up
land at ftjjd. On Saturday, the 14th iust.,
on the reception of the Fulton’s advices, Cot
ton was sriffer, and 15,000 bales changed
handi-, including 8,000 to speculators. Prices
in Manchester, firm.
The London Alone}- Market was easier, aud
Consols closed at 95.), on the 13th inst. On
the 14th instant, however, after the reception
of the Fulton’s advices, Consols closed at 94
for account. There w ere no sales for money.
General Intelligence.
The Fulton brought the intelligence of Mr.
Crumpton’s dismissal, and of course consider
able excitement was created in respect to
American affairs. The London Times and
Post were studiously offensive in their articles
and demanded the dismissal of Mr. Dallas and
the application of lonic to the United States,
it was not, however, generally supposed that
Mr. Dallas would be dismissed. The citizens
of Liverpool and Manchester had issued a
pence address to the people of America, and
the feeling of the English was active in favor
of peace, in Alaiiehestcr the address received
8000 signatures in a few hours. Tho Govern
ment, however, seems hostile. Several ships
of war had been ordered to prepare with all
possible di patch for foreign service, aud their
destination was supposed to be tbc American
coast. All the Commanders of gun boats at
Portsmouth lmd been called to ttic Port Admi
ral’s, to receive, as it was rumored, instruc
tions for active service. The light squadron—
dispatch and gun boats —were coaling aud
provisioning at Falmouth. Lords Palmerston
and Clarendon stated in Parliament on the
13th iust. that the Government had not deci
ded to dismiss Mr. Dallas. Lord Johu Russell
gave notice of his intention to enquire into
their ultimato intentions, inasmuch as the uni
versal feeling of the people was in favor of
peace.
A Paris letter asserts that Mr. Dillon, late
ly appointed French Consul to Portau Prince,
has instructions.to intimate that France will
not permit Souloque to invade Dominica.
England is greatly strenthening her North
American and West India fleets. Amoug the
vessels sent out are an immense number -of
gun boats.
The papers arc filled with the controversy
between the two countries. Several interviews
have taken place between Lord Clarendon and
Mr. Dallas.
The Russians have restored Kars to the
Turks and destroyed the fortifications of Rent
and Ismael.
From Washington.
June 25.—The intelligence of the death of
Thomas 11. ilayley, the distinguishedand mucli
loved representative from Accomac District,
Virginia, was received this morning. The
event w r as not unexpected, but was still lamen
ted, as a loss to the House and country. He
died of consumption, and proceeding from a
cold which he took in a laborious canvass of his
District at the time of his last election. No
man in the House, iu which he was for some
years so eminent a member, had more friends,
embracing, too, all parties, than he. He was
tall and large in his person, aud in his manners
affable and engaging. No one could have sup
posed, a few years ago, that he was so soon
to be cut off by an organic disorder.
June 26.—1n the Senate, to-day, on motion
of Mr. Crit tenden, a resolution was adopted,
directing the Committee on the Judiciary, to
examine into the laws regulating the success
ion of the Presidency, in case of the death of
the President and Vice President.
The Rules were so amended, as to make it
the duty of the Chair, to call Senators to ordSr
whenever they violate parliamentary decorum.
[We gave yesterday a pretty full account of
congressional proceedings on the 26th, but did
not see the above until too late for insertion.—
Ens. Sun.]
Juee 19,—-Neither House of Congress was
in session to-day, has adjourned in respect to
the memory of the late Air. Bayly of Virginia.
Senators Alason, Cass aud Seward passed
eloquent eulogims upon the life and character
of the decaseil; after which the customary
resolutions were adopted.
In the House, Air. Alillson announced the
death of his colleague, Hon. Thomas 11. Bai
ly. Eulogiums on the distinguished dead were
pronounced by Messrs. Millson, George, Cobb,
of Georgia, and Air. Campbell, of Ohio. The
customary resolutions were then adopted.
The Senate passed a House bill authorizing
the establi liment of the Southern boundary
of Kansas; and a bill respecting the harbor
ing of deserters, and to protect the public in
terest in regard to tho enlistment of men for
U. S. service, and the discharge of minors.
James A. Peden, of Florida, was to-day con
firmed as Alinister Resident at Buenos Ayres,
ltobt. Fitzpatrick, of Texas, as Secretary of
Legation.
Tiie trial of Brooks, for his assault on Sum
ner, will take place Monday.
lt is not true, as liad been rumored, that
Gen. P. F. Smith has been appointed Govern
or of Kansas.
Com. Stockton, of New Jersey, accepts the
nomination tendered him by the secedcrs a few
days since. He says he will not let the Union
slide, if his body can stop the motion. He
then adds, “ I accept the nomination as a com
pliment to ,ny inflexible American sentiments,
and as a duty 1 owe to those Americans who
so firmly adhered to their American principles,
with the express understanding, however, that
if the American party can be united on Air.
1 illmoro on such a platform as I now occupy,
1 may be at liberty at any time hereafter to
withdraw this acceptance.”
Later from Kansas.
St. Louis, June 27.—Gov. Shanou has ar
rived here to meet his wife. lie denies the
rumors concerning his resignation. He will
return in about one week. He reports all
quiet.
A meeting was held at. Westport on Sunday
to denounce the murder of the Indian agent,
Guy. Seven hundred and fifty dollars were
subscribed as a reward for the murderer. The
meeting called on the Governor of Missouri to
offer an additional reward.
