COLUMBUS: Thursday Morning, July 3, INSB. 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 years of the Globe, but more recently of tho United Stat s Hotel. . Oglethorpe Fire Company No. 1, of Savan nah, Capt. Buckner, leave that city to-day, on a visit to their brethren of Augusta. Jonas Webb, a wealthy Englishman, and the original cultivator of the South Down race of sheep, is now exhibiting specimens of the breed at the cattle Show in Paris. He was dressed in a peasant’s blouse, under which he wore a magnificent chain, reaching to his gir dle Each link of the chain consisted of a gold medal received by the owner at some agricul tural fair or other, as a prize for the excellence of his Bouth Downs. Mr. Webb, while walk ing about the building, sold several rams of this variety, the poorest of which brought fifty guiaoee 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.

[True copy from the Sun Note-Book.] 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 means of which the vessels will be able to make a stout attack, or clear retreat, just as the case J may demand. The Turks consider that their Sultan has made a great approach to European customs, from the fact that he has reduced the number of ladies in his harem from one thousand to three hundred and fifty. TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH AMERICA. Nkw York, .July I.—The steamship North America has arrived witli Liverpool dates to the 18th nit., being four days later than the Asia’s news. The Liverpool cotton market had advanced one-eighth penny. Sales l'or two days 17,000 bales. Consols quoted at 94] a 947,. There was no danger apprehended of Mr. Crampton's dismissal.— Ala. Journal -d. 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 day 000 bales, at prices ranging from 10 to ll jj cts. Prices are full. Further by the Asia. 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 medal. 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 England will consist of the following vessels:— The Nile, 91 guns. Powerful, 84; Boscawen, 10; (flagships;) Imaun, 72; Pembroke, 60; Cornwnllis, 60; Euryalis, 61; Amphion, 34; V estal, 26; Eurydice, 26: Termagant, 24; Cossack, 21; Pylades, 21; Arachne, 18; Ma lacca, 17 ; Falcon, 17 ; Archer, 15; Mariner, 12; Espieble, 12; Arab, 12; Daring, 12; Buzzard, 6; Argus, 6; Basilisk, 6; Scorpi on, 6. 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.” ITEMS. They have in London au exhibition of Arne- . rican flowers, which attracts much attention. ■ The Freeman’s Journal, of New York, Bish op Hughes’ Catholic organ, has declared in fa- j vor of Buchanan for the Presidency. On Wednesday last, Mrs. Joe Pentland was fined by the New York Court of General Ses sions S3O for cowhiding Mr. Benjamin Bald win, for speaking rather freely of her charac ter. A Washington dispatch, dated ou Thursday says:—Several members of Congress were in the neighborhood of Harper’s ferry yesterday, aud it is believed that an affair of honor was on hand. lam not authorized to give names. We see it stated that the Hards and Softs of of New Yo ’k have finally agreed to unite in tho call of inly one State Convention, instead of one of each fnction, as at first suggested. M’lleOni lille Urso, the distinguished juvnilc violinist, wis married ou Thursday evening, June 26, at Nashville, Tenn., to a Mr. George M. Taylor. Au Enghali paper says, £30,000 has chang ed hands in bets, on the Stock Exchange, upon the fate of Palmer, the English poisoner. It is said that Major Heiss has been deputed by Padre Vijil to officiate as temporary Nica ragua Minister. All the parties ou trial charged with aiding aud abettiug the fitting out of the slave schoon er Falmoutu, as a slaver for the coast of Afri ca, have bejn acquitted, there being no evi dence to convict. This result was unexpected. New York State, this fall, has a contest for the office of Governor. It is believed that the candidate *>f the Republicans will be George Law; of the Americans, Erastus Brooks, and of the Democrats, Israel Hatch. The streets of Loudon extend in length one thousand seven hundred and fifty miles, the paving of which cost £44,000,000, and the yearly cost of keeping the pavement in repair amounts to £1,800,000. Trinity Church Vestry, has cousented to sell St John’s Park, in Hudson-street, New Y ork, to the Federal Government for a Post-office; but it is doubtful whether Uncle Sam will buy. The location is too far up town for a postoffice. A Washington,letter to the Savannah Re publican says: “It is reported that one of your Senators, (Mr. Toombs) lately on a visit North, has said that he found few really Na tional men out- of the Fillmore party.” One of the resources of Minnesota is from tho sale of lumber, from which it is estimated that $3,600,000 will be received this year. At Syracuse, last week, the Indians receiv ed their yearly instalment from the State. One old “native” presented himself and squaw and seventeen children. Ilis share at $5 a head was $95, and as he received his portion he remarked: “Me get SIOO next year.” The foreign exports from Baltimore last week, amounted to $203,162. Included in these exports wero 14,110 barrels of flour, 901 barrels corn meal, 11,896 barrels of wheat, 680 buskela corn, 923 hogsheads tobacco, and 391 tons Cumberland coal. The people of the United States, in gratui ties to ocean and mail steamers, pay about twice as muck as England pays for the same mail service. There lire paid to two of the companies, viz—the New York and California and tho Collins, upwards of sixteen hundred thousand dollars a year, while the receipts of postago from both aru only one-third of the money paid to them. The seizure of the brig Gen. Pierce, as a slaver, by the Portuguese brig of War Sorra de Pillar, and her condemnation by a mixed Court at Luanda, is confirmed. According to’ the evidence the brig was owned by a compa ny of Portuguese at New York who arc largely engaged in the slave trade. The will of Jabez Barber, of Chicago, who, with his wife and eldest daughter, wero pas sengers on vhe illfated Pacific, was opened on the 16th ult., before the Judge of Probate. The bulk of his property, amounting to $250,- 000, will fail to the only surviving child, a lit tle girl three years old. A Buffalo paper says a freight train left that city over the Central Railroad, a few days since, which consisted of two hundred and twenty cars, all loaded with flour, and con taining over 20,000 barrels. The product of a whole township of wheat fields on one train. The clipper ship Driver, 1694 tons, with a crew of 28, all told, and 344 passengers, sailed from Liverpool on the 12th of February, and has not been heard of since. The clipper ship Ocean Queen, 1200 tons, sailed from London 15th February, with passengers, was seen on th 17th, off Portsmouth, but never since. The great Buchanan Ratification Meeting in Charleston, was a comparative failure. The big guns failed to arrive, and sent excuses; while the attendance, according to the News, (K. N.) was slim—not over three hundred per sons being present. A Kansas recruiting station has been open ed in Cleve and, Ohio, for several weeks, and great efforts have been made to get up a com pany. The result of their endeavors, the Plaindealer states, is the enlistment of one man. He is now ready to start nnd the peo ple are ready to have him. Dr. Shaw, of Texas, has found sweet oil, drank freely, a successful antidote to strych nine in two cases. The oil is to be poured down without any reference to the patient’s vomiting. Professor Rochester has reported two cases of poisoning by the same terrible drug, successfully treated by a free use of cam phor internally, and mustard poultices out side. A correspondent of the Uostou Traveller, writing from the “ West,” says the scramble for land in the new Territories is greater than the scramble for bread in tho old settled States. Millions of acres are uncultivated, but all the choice spots are extravagantly dear. Specu lators have got hold of nearly all the market able lands, and those who want cheap land for cultivation have to go still further into the wil derness, ard still more remote from all that makes life desirable—society and civilization. The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, Democratic pa per, thinks that in case the clectiou of Presi dent is thrown into the House of Representa tives, there may be no choice oven by that body. In tiiat event, the Vice President elect will be the President for tho next four years. Happily, iu that case, Mr. Dayton cannot bo the man, because the majority of the Senate chooso the Vice President from the two highest, and that majority is opposed to Free Soil. Tho Albany Argus states, that a man is cou* stantly engaged in that city, buying up frogs for the New York market, where they com mand a high price; we are informed that tho onsumption is not confined to tho French, but ca indulged in to a considerable extent by i Americans. •Tehuantepec Rau Road. ~~W Among the vessels cleared yesterday ® tice the steamer Leanora, tlptain tor Coatzacoalcos river, Isthmus of Tel Hr pec.
