LAJtOHIT CITY CIBCIiIiATIOW.
Arreat lor Nepcro Stealing:.
We are informed, on what we consider good
authority, that a man named Knight wa yes
terday arrested in Girard, Ala., at the in
stance of Mr. Brown, of Jouea county, bettor
known as P. B. Brown, (on account of his
odcoratod Peach Brandy,) charged with steal
ing a negro man named “ Abe,” the property
of Mr. Brown. Abe was well known in Macon,
where for a long time lie was a check-taker, at
aR. R. Depot in that city; he is a mulatto,
fine-looking, and very intelligent. He had
been in this city prior to the arrest, and wrs
recognized by gentlemen who knew him, but
were not aware of his peculiar “ mission.”
Mr. Brown returned yesterday to Macon,
inking w.th him his negro and the party im
plicated. These are all the particular? we
have been aide to obtain, but we believe they
will be found substantially correct.
Kansas Meeting in Qlennville.
it w ill be seen by the proceedings in another
column, that the people of Gleunville, and that
vicinity, have gone to work in earnest, in aid
of Kansas. Two thousand dollars raised at
one meeting is an unmistakable token of their
sincerity, and speaks more loudly than auy
words of ours could do.
The Resolution adopted at the Glcnnvillc
meeting, could on'y have pasaed in a patriotic
community; and we trust so good an example
will no; luck followers among the true lovers
of the South, her interests and her rights.
The time for action is brief. Those who would
uot see Kansas added to the cordon of freo
Suites gradually closing around us, should at
once be up and doing. The issue before us,
in point of importance, is momentous; in point
of time, it is “ Now or Never!”
Tho Fourth — lncidents.
On the Fourth, the citizens of Columbia S.
C , and Augusta, Ga., were treated to a dis
play of “ Fantastic?.” In the former city a
Mr. Wood had his right hand and arm severe
ly injured, by the premature explosion of a
cannon, which he had neglected to swab out.
He loses one linger and a thumb. The Fire
works, ordered by the City Council of Colum
bia hung fire, and disappointed every body.—
The wheels would not revolve, nor the rockets
streak, and the works, generally, fizzled. In
S ivnunah two juvenile Companies, the Pulaski
Guards, (’apt. Ponce, and Young America Vol
unteers, Capt. Bowen, paraded, manacuvercd,
Hied salutes, were dinnered and treated, and
got glorious on lemonade and soda-water. The
News speaks in terms of high commendation,
ol these youthful soldiers. In Charleston, four
men who were out sailing, were capsized and
were saved with difficulty. Throughout South
* arolina, a brisk business wus done in dinners
and after dinner toasts; and the papers are
lull of the toasts given, embracing every vari
ety, and duly interspersed with Brooks, Sum
ner, gutta perch a, Kansas. Calhoun, Ac. In
nmny towns in this State, the Sunday, and day
schools, celebrated the day with appropriate
exercises. Long live tho Fourth!
S. W. Railroad.
Commenting on tho late meeting of the Di
rectors of the above Koud, the Hnvaunah Re
publ.can, says;
1 his action of the Southwestern Company,
it strikes us, has a most important bearing up
on tho system ol Internal improvement in the
lower half of tho State of Ucorgia. Whilst
the Hi un-wick aud Florida Railroad Company
mu the Savannah Albany & Gulf Company
have, respectively, been endeavoring of late,
to embark the people of Kufaula, of Cuthbert
and Fort Gai es in the wild scheme of build
ing Iri in the Chattahoochee through Albany to
Uni ns wick or Savannah—a scheme manifestly
against the interest of the Southwestern Com
pany, and whilst no specific aid has been ren
dered by the seaboard to curry out the scheme
-the Southwestern Company has come out
with the means and the determination to see
tlo ir road extended to Cuthbert. This move
ment we tli ink most important for these rca
s 11s : It determines the future policy of the
Southwestern Company. It prompts Kufaula
mid fort G lines to instant movement towards
• uthbert. It is calculated to preserve the sym
'■try ami usefulness of the Railroad system of
lie Stite. It cuts oil the hope of Brunswick
from the plan of injuring the Southwestern
Company. It gives security aud permaneucy
to Southwestern Railroad stock, in which this
city and its people aro interested to tho extent
ol three quarters of a million of dollars. It
is calculated to extend the busiuess and iucrcase
the Wealth of Macou. It hurts no existing in
terest but benefits all. It will fix Macou hs
the traveling centre of the State. It will tend
to increase the revenues of the Central Road,
in which s me threo millions of Savanuah cap
ital are embarked. Fiually, it will give quiet
and well gn unde 1 hope and eventual success
lo those portions of Georgia aud Alabama just
now so much disturbed and perplexed on tho
subject of their connection with the the sea.—
We hail the movement with joy and sa'.isfoc
tion.*’
“Nipoloon Crossing the Alps,” is a picture
which every body has seen, who ever shaved
in a burber-shop. or put up at a country tav
ern. l'he Little Corporal is represented as
wrappe i in a splendid cloak, and mounted on
a fiery charger, while his hand exultiugly
paints upward. AH this is saucy. Thiers, the
French historian, says that Napoleon crossed
the Alps ou a doukoy, led by a guide, and
himself wearing nn old gray overcoat. Analy
sis f most cel elfrated historical paintings,
would show them as destitute of truth, as is
tins picture. Painters, like poets, take the
Imgest license, and give “to eiry nothing,
loc.il habit tion and a name.*’
A large Ratification meeting was held in

No War.
The British Lion lias been much stirred up
lately. The Loudon Times has been jobbing
at him with all sorts of poles, nnd occasional
ly a hot poker ; but tho old fellow will uot
roar, and obstinately refuses Jo fight his young
friend, the American Eagle. We opine that
he begins to feel his age. Commerce too is
gradually drawing his teetli; nud if we pass
safely over tho present difficulty, which doubt
less we shall, it is not likely that wo will soon
have another. The Manchester spindles, nnd
the penny press have fairly drowned the thun
der of the Times ; and for once it finds itself,
though backed by a powerful Cabinet, unable
to force the people of England into rash meas
ures, or gull them with its sophistries. The
Times may from this time date the decay of
that mighty power which it has so long wield
ed. A penny press, well established iu Eng
land, is a power with which it cannot contend;
and it will find itself forced ero many years,
to strike the Hag oithor of power or high prices.
Cheap newspapers ore carrying the day
1 thronghout the world. Against them and the
messes who take them, neither tho aristocracy
nor the Times will find it profitable to s‘rug

Seventy three bushels of acorns have been
i sent from Pennsylvania to Holland and Bel
gium, to be planted in the latter countries. It
will be many a year before they will become
shade-trees. But there is nothing like time
and patience. An exchange says : Time and
patience convert the mulberry loaf into silk and
eatin ; while a handful of acorns needs only a
little sunshine, raiu and time, with a little ox
tuggiug, and a little genius, to become a frig
ate with two rows of teeth.” Lot thodcspend

We learn by a gentleman from Macon, that
the attendance on the American Convention,
| yesterday, delegates and outsiders, was very
large.
The Senate were in session all night on
Mr. Douglas’ Kansas bill—in all twenty hours

the opinion of the well-posted in Washington,
that the bill will pass the House.

Kansas Mooting.
Gdbnnvh,x.e, At a., Jt’LY 7,1556.
M<ws. Editors :—A largo and spirited meet
ing was held at the Female College Chapel, in
this place, on the 4th inst. Mr. Hamlin Bass
was callod to the Chair, and Mr. William N.
Richardson, by solicitation, acted as Secretary.
The object of tho meeting was briefly stated
by the Chairman, when Alphcus Baker, jr.
Esq., was introduced to tho audience, amidst
long and enthusiastic cheering. Mr. Baker’s
rccont visit to Kansas and the enthusiastic re
ception ho met with there—the bold staud ho
took, and the patriotic example set by him,
gave him a passport to every Southern heart.
He was received by the large aud intellectual
audience as he deserved to be—as a patrii t,
gentleman, and scholar ; and lie entertained
them with a speech of two hours, strong, spir
ited and soul stirring, and frequently inter
rupted by bursts of applause. When ho con
cluded, the enthusiastic excitement, which per
vaded the audience, attested at once the abili
ty of the speaker and their appreciation of
the subject.
At the conclusion of Mr. Baker’s speech,
our tellow citizen, Capt. E. R. Fleweilen came
forward, and offered to tho meotiug tho follow
ing resolution, which he in a very handsome
manner prefaced with a few remarks:
Resolved, That all persons friendly to
Messrs. Baker aud Johnston’s Kansas enter
prise, contribute to it, one lourth of one per
cent, on all their taxable property.
The resolution was advocated by Dr. Joseph
Jonos and C. W. Jones, Esq., in brief, though
forcible speeches ; and on being put to vote
by the Chair, was carried without a dissenting
voice. Whereupon a considerable number of
our most wealthy and influential citizens came
forward and subscribed, thus raising on the
spot about *2,000, with a prospect of its be
ing largely increased.
Upon the passage of the above resolution,
the meeting appointed a Financial Committee:
consisting of Messrs. I. Bass, John F. Treutlen,
Capt. E. R. Fleweilen, and Wm. Richardson,
Esq.—to receive subscriptions and collect
moneys to carry out this design. The gcntle
mou of this committee earnestly solicit the co
operation of every Southern man, who feels
an interest in perpetuating our institutions.
We believe that this suggestion is a good one
—this plan of raising money to carry out our
design, is the most feasible of any yet suggest
ed; aud we therefore submit it to the earnest
consideration of every (rut Southern man. If
this proposition should meet with the approba
tion of Southern men generally, we have no
fears for Kansas.
In conclusion, we ask overy ono who feels
the importance of this movement to come for
ward without delay, aud whether far or near,
I contribute to this enterprise.
Any money received by the Committee will
be appropriated in such manner as will best
subserve the end contemplated. By address
ing either of the members of the Committee,
Correspondents can at any time, feceive such
explanatory information as thev mav desire.
The last opportunity is presented, and if
you do not come forward, “be forfeverfallen.”
Remember that the election is almost at
| hand, and if Southern men do not do their
duty, oar great institution is circumscribed
, and our destiny is sealed.
Southern papers will please present Capt.
Flcwellen’s resolution to their readers.

Dr. Hunter, the well informed Liverpool cor
respondent of the Associated Press, informs
us that the feeling in respect to American af
fairs in this couutry has subsided in England
aud no longer affects the markets. A London
paper also states that, judging from the tone
of the country’ press, it considers that the
whole country is delighted with the turn the
American • question has taken, and takes the
opportunity to confess its surprise at the en
lightenment afforded tho country on the sub
ject by the penny papers, their editors having
devoted themselves to a rational exposition of
the American difficulties. The people of Eng
land, likewise, uppear to be pleased at Mr.
Buchanan having received the nomination of
the Cincinnati Convention. In the British
Parliament no important business had been
transacted. The Emperor of Russia had con

Mr. Jones, of New York, addressed them.
He urged them to stand firm, and promised
that New York would give her 35 votes for
Fillmore.
D. F. Cooke, of Boston, spoke at some
length. He thought that fraud had been prac

the Convention. He said there had been a
plot concocted at the Parker House, Boston,
to sell out the American party, similar to the
attempt which failed in such a signal manner
last year.
At the commencement of the oveuiug ses

ment can bo made for the transfer by the Geor
gia and Florida Railroad Company of their

ding undertaking, contributing at least Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars towards the further
development of South-western Georgia, by ac
tually building, of itself, unaided by the peo
ple, their Road to within a distance of twenty
miles from Cuthbert and forty from Eufaula,
and within less than forty from Fort Gaines—
feels that t ie people of all these places nnd of
the country tributary to them, respectively,
should uni v themselves to the South-western
Rail Road, and, through that Road, connect
aud identify themselves with Macon and Sa
vannah—with tho Scat of Government, the
mountain country of Georgia, and the general
Rail Road system of the Union.
Resolved, That the preceding resolutions bo

received from his government, Upon Mr.
Crumpton’s dismssnl the archieves of the lega

as Charge dc Affairs for some time, and, as
supposed, till the end of the presentadministra

plomatic discussions will be abandoned, and
that ultimately all pending questions between
the two governments as to Central America
will be amicably adjusted.
On Monday next Mr. Campbell’s report on
the Brooks and Sumner case was to come up ;
but it is said to be Mr. Campbell’s wish to de

of the close of the session. It is to be hoped
that it will never come up. It is conjectured
from circumstances that Mr. Sumner does not
intend that the indictment against Mr. Brooks
for assault end battery shall como to trial.—

TO THE public.
At a meeting of Free Masons in Marion,
Perry county, Alabama, on the 27th of June,
1856, a Committee was appointed to enquire
of a man by the name of David Bernard, if he
were the author of a book entitled Light on
Masonry. .Said Committee immediately made
the enquiry of said Bernard, and was answered
in the affirmative. Whereupon, said meeting
appointed the undersigned a Committee to
moke a publication in relation to the matter.
Said book professes to publish the secrets of
Free Masons, as disclosed by Free Masons,
including s.i id Bernard. The undersigned will
not comment on the conduct of said Bernard,
further than stating, that if he has disclosed
the secrets if Free Masonry, as he professes
to have done, he is guilty of perjury ; and if
he has not. lie is guilty of lying and swindling.
Said Bernard represents himself to be an
agent of tho Bible revision association for the
purpose of ’•aising funds by contribution. The
community can judge cffliis claims to public
confidence. * •

Beene in a Church.
On Sunday night last the Episcopal church
of the Epiphany, Philadelphia, was densely
crowded to hear the rector—Rev. Dudley A.
Tyng—discourse upon, the “ troubles of the
country.” He opened by denouncing the
“outrages” in Kansas, aud the present admin
istration. The Bulletin says:
The sent on was listened to with breathless
attention, end without interruption until the
speaker sp,ike of slave breeding, rearing im
mortal souls (who were made for heaven,) for
bondage, v. hen Dr. Casper Morris, formerly a
church warden, rose from his pew, and, as one
ol the original church wardens, entered his
solemn protest against tho desecration of the
place and the day by such services. The
preacher continued his discourse without no
ticing the interruption, and at the conclusion
of his sermon respectfully suggested to tho
gentleman who had interposed his objections,
to point ou; the wrong which he had commit
ted iu usii g tho Sabbath as the time and an
Episcopal \ ulpitas the place, for the utterance
of anti-slavery sentiments.
Mr. Tyu;; was perfec’ly calm througbouttho
unusual sc ne\ and he appeared to be entirely
unmoved and. ring the decided sensation incident
to the inte ruption of Dr. Morris. We should
state that at the commencement of theremarks
ot Mr. Tyng several members of the congrega
tion left tlie church.
After th: sermon was finished, the members
ot the congregation gathered in knots to dis
cuss the unusual event, while many of them
congratulated the minister upon the decided
stand he had taken. We understand that the
matter will be referred to the Bishop of the
Diocese.
