LAHOBHT CITY CIRCULATION.
Death of Major Hardin*
We regret to announce the sudden death, on
yesterday, of Major Edward J. Hardin, an
old, well known, and much esteemed citizen of
this place. Major llardin was s native of
Warren county, in this State, and in early life,
was a merchant in Augusta. He wont thence
to Florida, and finally removed to this city.
He had been at one time Clerk of the Superior
Court of Muscogee county, tout was not en
gaged in business at the time of his decease.
He leaves a wife and several children.
We ft.ro requested to state that the Funeral
will take place at 9 o’clock this morning, from
the late residence of Major H., on Troup
street, and that his friends and acquaintances
are rospectfully invited to attend.
The cars on the Montgomery and West Point
Road, were dolayed on Monday last, and
missed the connection at this point, yesterduy
morning, in consequence of the running pff of
a lumber train. No barm was done, we un
derstand. beyond the delaying of the respective
trains.
The Old Line Whigs of Baltimore held a
large and enthusiastic meeting last week. —
They will support the Fillmore Ticket.
We are glad to learu, aays the Savannah
Republican, that J. B Lambert, recently a
compositor in this office, and who was suppos
ed to have been mortally wounded in a late en
gagement in Kansas, was, at last accounts, in
a fair way to recover. The Border Times says,
be was shot through the shoulder, but thinks
he will live to see another fight, and nl*o “take
a hand.’”
K. H. Meeting.
There is to be a great R. It. Meeting and
Barbecue at Cuthbert, on the Fourth, to which
a number of distinguished rail road men have
been invited. The people of that section in
tend it as the initiative to a rail-road connec
tion with some road, some where, not yet set
tled on.
We are reliably informed that certain par
ties in this state have offered to contribute one
half to the construction of a road from Ameri
sas to Eufaula, Ala., if the people along the
line, and at either ond, will contribute the other
half. The last named parties, however, are
somewhat disposed to a connection with Brun
awick (from Eufaula via Albany,) and having
become satisfied in their own minds, that the
Brubswick Company have command of funds,
ad libitum, are waiting to hear from that quar
ter before closing in with the first mentioned
offer. Meanwhile a certain party is endeavor
ing—but stay—we will await the result before
speaking of this last enterprise, not wishing
to embarrass it in any way, as present mention
of it might do.
Monday's news from Washington is looked
for with much interest. Mr. Brooks was to
*tnd his trial on that day before the Courts,
and the question of his expulsion was to come
up in the Senate. Many are of opinion that
scenes of personal violence will result from
the Senate'n dismission of the matter; and the
letter writers have not failed to agitate the pub
lic mind as thoroughly as possible by represent
ing that North and South would go into the
Senate armed to the teeth, and prepared for a
desperate conflict. It is said it that takes two
parties to make a quarrel—so it does to make
a fight. And for this reason we anticipate no
other battle thnn the Ayes and Nays on the
question of expulsion. Neither do we believe
that Mr. Brooks will be expelled. The Senate
dare not put such a vote on record, and yet
continue to receive Mr. Sumner in their midst.
If one goes, so must the other: nor would
this be justice, since Mr. Sumner was the ag
gressor. Rather than expel him, Mr. Brooks
will also be retained in his seat. Long may he
hold it.
Apropos to this subject the following para
graph taken from nn exchange, will be found
interesting :
In 1829, the Duke of Welliugton fought the
Earl of Winchelsea. It grew out of facts
which occurred in a Parliamentary dedate. In
the correspondence the Duke of Wellington
used the following striking language, which it
would be well to engrave upon the walls of
Congress.
No man has a right whether in public or in
private, by speech or in writting, or in print,
to ineult another, by attributing to him mo
tives for his conduct, public or private, which
disgrace or criminate him. If a gentleman
commits such au act indiscreetly, in the heat
of debate, or in a moment of party violence,
he is always ready to make reparation to liim
whom he may have thus injured.
Killed by Lightning.
Yesterday afternoon, about six o’clock, du
ring a severe storm, the little son of Mr. Win.
P. Nlosely, residing in the lower ward, was
struck, by lightning, and instantly killed. The
child was about six years old, and was playing
with a light rope, attached to a small tree,
when the aocidcnt occurred. Mr. Mosely was
some short distance off, and was severely stun
ned, and others near by were also sensibly
shocked. — Augusta Constitutionalist lit mat.
The Chronicle states that the little fellow had
a steel belt around his waist, which was split by
the electric fluid, and a piece of it flying against
his chin slightly cut him. A black mark dowu
the chest was the only sign to indicate the
cause of death. _
The Augusta papers announce the death of
Mr. F. M. Jennings, formerly, and for many

Meeting of the Young Men’s Democratic
Club.—What we Saw, Hoard and Did,
Hurried through supper Tuesday night to
get to the Young Men’s Democratic Club Meet
ing, at Concert Hall ; arrived safely ; seven
persons, sitting and standing, on the steps ;
crowd rather dispirited ; conjecture rile as to
whether there would he a meeting ; one gen
tleman thought Wednesday evening was the
time appointed for it ; another gentleman,
evidently an appreciative person, said the Sun
had announced it, Tuesday, for that evening;
other gentleman had no more to say : took a
seat with the crowd ; didn’t know anybody;
felt nt s loss; half an hour went by ; began
to twirl our thumbs ; fifteen minutes twirling
each way, satisfied us; got up and went to the
railing ; reached over and pulled off a small
bunch of china berries ; dangled them a while:
but soon threw them away ; didn’t amuse ns;
. began to get blue; heard a drum beating away
‘uptown ; felt better : beard a gentleman ask
I what company that drum was beating for;
somebody replied “ The Blackbirds” ; didn’t
know there wns such a Company in town, be
fore : felt much better on getting this item of
new news ; another hall hour went by ; a per
son walked out of the Hull, and down the
stops ; observed as lie passed us, that it was
“ as hot us , in there” ; wondered how ho
found it out, but immediately dashed into the
Hall, bciug curious to know the temperature
of the locality named, and make report thereof
for the bonetit of all interested ; upou getting
in, felt for our pocket thermometer, ulways
carried to ascertain when our temper is ap
proaching 212 ; found wc had left it at homo ;
made a rough gueßs at the heat, and put it
down at 9991 ; returned to tbc steps ; conjec
ture rife as to the cause of theslim attendance;
heard soraobody laugh, followed by the words,
“ Corporal’s Guard ”; looked all around for
said Guard, having heard much of him but
never seen him ; failed to see him entirely ;
presume he didn’t have on his uniform ;
squads of two and three began to arrive; after
awhilo heard a motion made inside ; immedi
ately went in, and opened our note-book ;
took the census ; thirty persons present not
counting ourselves; Capt. Cooper called to the
Chair ; Jas. M. Russell, Esq., was requested
to act us Secretary ; did so; Captain made a
neut speech, announcing the object of the
meeting; James Hamilton, lisq., from Com
mittee on By-Laws, &c., submitted a code, pre
facing it with remarks ; stated that the Com
mittee had thought it best to remove all sem
blance of exclusiveness from the Club, to
change its name, and to open its doors to all

tho Cincinnati nominees ; after which he sub
mitted tho Rules ; 1. Club shall be called the

journed to Saturday evening, 8 o’clock ; left;
shewed notes to a friend ; friend said ’twas
not customary to report in this way ; askod
him what of that ? ; friend dodged the ques
tion : said report would make every Democrat
in town, mad; told him we didn’t think so;
that report was literally and minutely true ;
didn’t believe Democracy would get mad at the
truth, and if they did, couldn’t help it; also
that such a report might have effect of stirring
them up, and inciting them to do better, as
they were capable of doing ; friend said we
could do as we thought best; thanked him for
his kindness, and went home ; slept next door
(Hothouse) to a ball, and forgot politics as we
wcut into the Laud of Nod, accompanied by
those pleasant sounds, the fall of slippered
feet, the laugh of merry damsels, the tinkle of
tamborinc, and gliding of violin-bow ; thus
endeth our night's experiences. [True copy

Ravages of the Army-Worm.
We stated yesterday that the catepillar, or
I army worm, had made its appearance in Lib
j erty, Bryan and Chatham counties, and that
j its ravages among the Cotton and young Corn
were most destructive. Wc have since been
shewn some stalks of the corn aud Cotton it
had attacked. The Corn is literally eaten
down to within a few inches of tho ground,
blades, stalk ami all. The Cotton is not so
completely destroyed, though the plaut is kill
ed. The branches are first attacked, and as
the day advances and the heat increases, the
worm decends to the root and cats into tho
heart of the stalk, aud soon destroys it. Corn
fields which it has visited, look as if a reaper
| had passed over them with a scythe, and had
cut every stalk off near the ground.
In the neighborhood of the Ogeechee, we
understand the worm is disappearing; the
same, we presume, is true of other localities.
Planters are replanting their corn, and it is
hoped, with good seasons, that they will yet
make enough to supply their wlnts.—Savan
j nah Republican, 1 it.
A good supply of coal has been forwarded
to the Spanish squadrons at Vera Cruz, by

Asia’s news.
The Liverpool cotton market had advanced
one-eighth penny. Sales l'or two days 17,000

The'Kansas Investigating Committee.
Washinutox, June 30.—The Kansas Inves
tigating Committee have reported to-day. The
report is very voluminous. Its conclusions
are: that at each election Kansas was carried
by invasions from Missouri: that lho Legisla
tive Assembly is illegally constituted, and has
no power to pass valid laws; that its enact
ments are therefore void; that the election of
Whitfield wns not held under any valid law :
and that the election of Reeder was in accor
dance with law. The Committee suggest no
remedy. It was signed by Messrs. Howard
and Sherman.
Further from Kansas.
St. Loris, June 27.—The Chicago compa
ny of emigrants, disarmed at Lexington on
Sunday, were aboard the star of the West.
When the boat landed, a committee of citizens
came aboard and informed the captain of the
object of their visit. He introduced them to
Mr. Andrews, the President of the Company,
who stated in reply to the demand of tho com
mittee, tiiat he had seventy-six men under his
charge, who were going to Kansas to settle:
that each one of them had a gun, aud they
were determined to keep them.
The Committee replied that thoy were satis
fied that the intentions of ihe party were hos
tile : and that they were recruits for the Lane
and Reeder party in Kansas: and the people
of Lexington had determined that they should
not pass unless thoy gavo up their arms. Af
considerable parleying, it was agreed that the
arms should betaken ashore, and placed in tbc
custody of a responsible merchant—to be re
stored when the present difficulties in Kansas
shall be Settled. The arms were then pro
duced from various parts of the boat, and
proved to bo Hull’s carbines, nil loaded and
with bayonets attached.
Markets.
Charleston, June 30, P. M.—The demand
for the Spanish market continues. Sales to

At the distribution of prizes at the great
Agricultural Exhibition, Paris, the United
States, as usual, drew prizes on every thing
which she presented for serious competition—
numbering five objects! Pitts’ Buffalo thresh
ing machine drew a first class medal, and has
been sold to the Emperor for 2200 francs;
Manny’s reaper drew a first medal; a barrel of
Col. Alston’s (South Carolina) rice, ditto;
McCormick’s reaper, worked by Frenchmen, a
second class medal; a specimen of somebody’s
peppdrmint essence of New York, an inferior

Wui. Palmer, the surgeon of Rugely, was
executed at Stafford, England, between the
hours of 8 and 9 o’clock, on Saturday, the 14th
of June. The culprit was dressed iu the pris
on costume. He mounted the scaffold with
great firmness, and died with scarcely a strug
gle. During the night previous to his execu
tion, nor up to the time of his death, has he
ever confessed to the awful crime for which ho
suffered. Tho Rev. Thomas Palmer and Mr.
George Palmer, Solicitor, tho brothers of the
convict, and Miss Anna Palmer, his sister,
spent the night previous to the execution in
the prisoner’s cell. His mother did not see
him after he left London.
A public meeting had been held in London,
in aid of the sufferers by the inundations in
France. The Lord Mayor said he had been
informed that France had 1250 English miles
under water, and that forty thousand persons
were entirely strioken down. Mr. Wegnelin,
Governor of the Bank of England, stated that
the estimates of the damage differed from 600
to 1200 miles, and it was difficult to form a
proper idea of the amount of the loss. He was
informed that 40,000 habitations had been de
stroyed, and crops which were approaching
maturity, had been totally cut down. The
Lord Mayor announced that he had already
received between 4 and 5 thousand pounds.
The North American fleet to be sent out by

The 17 gunsloops are fitted with new long
32’s. The 6-gun steamers’ guns are all new,
and of a long range. If the gunboats are to
be taken into account with tho above, 80 now
guns may be added to the computation.
A Character.
“ Old Bumblebee,” says au exchange paper,
was the cognomen of Mr. T. of Newburyport.
He gained the title from the fact of his catch
ing a bumblebee one day as ho was shingling
his barn, and in attempting to destroy the in
sect with his hatchet, cut off the ends of his
thumbs and forefinger, letting the insectgo un
harmed. Other mishaps happened to the same
old coger in the same barn. In one of his ab
stractions he shingled over his spare hatchet;
and cutting a small aperture in the building
to let a little daylight in, this man actually
set in a wooden pane as being economical and
not likely to be broken ! Uncle TANARUS., in one of
his oblivious freaks, nailed his left arm so
firmly betwixt two boards of a fenco that he
was putting up, that ho had to call help to get
extricated from self-imprisonment. He once
put a button on the gate instead of the post.
But the rarest freak of all was when he ran
through the streets with his hands about three
feet asunder held before him, begging the pas
sers by not to disturb him as he had the meas
ure of a doorway with him.
Mount Vernon and the Ladies-
We find the following card in tho Philadel
phia Bulletiu, published by authority:
“ The ladies of the Mount V ernon associa
tion of Pennsylvania, beg to inform the public
that, having writton, some time since, to J. A.
Washington, Esq., in reference to thepurckase
of the Mount Vernon estate, he courteously
but positively declined selling it to the ladies
of the Union. Recently in a letter published
in the National Intelligencer, he expressed his
unqualified disapprobation of the bill passed
by the Legislature of Virginia and again de
clines selling. Believing that Mr. Washington
can neither be forced nor coaxed into any dis
position of his property that does not entirely
accord with his view of propriety and expedi
ency, they have resolved to discontinue their
labors and dissolve their association.”
