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. Markets.
