COLTTMT3TTS: Monduy Morning) July l*i 1856. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. The mails are still much deranged, and cause us infinite annoyance. Many ot our best exchange* foiled to arrive in season fov this issue. _ We are requested to call attention to the ad vertisement in another column, announcing the nnuual Meeting of the .Stockholders in the Co lumbus Gas Company, to be held to-morrow morning at the office of Ituse, Patten At Cos. We are informed that our account ot the j winning of a silver pitcher by the Guards, at LaGrange, was incorrect. The statement made was on the authority of a member of the corps. We now learn that the pitcher was of fered as a prize for the best average, instead | of best singlo shot, as was stated. We copied from the Savannah Georgian, a few days since, an account of a serious afl ray 1 in St. Peters Parish, S. C., in which Dr. E. H. Martin, of Savannah, was said to have been seriously cut. The News learn3 that his inju ries are less serious than was at iirstsupposed, and that he was not confined to his room pn account of them. The Odd Fellows of Portsmouth, Va., ac knowledge the receipt of $6,853 36 from the brethren in the United States during the epi demic. Hon. Alex. White, an Old Line Whig, is stumping it in Alabama, under the Buchanan flag. - - “ Troops in Florida, that were in the locality of the Everglades, have been removed in con sequence of that portion of the country being submerged. The Lutherans of South Carolina have de termined to locate their Theological Institute at Newberry, have adopted a plan for their buildings, and have also elected iheir building committee and architect. The Architect is Mr. Walker, of Columbia. Operations are to he at once commenced. -* ♦— - The Columbia South Carolinian, comment ing on the Brooks trial and fine of S3OO, says it has no doubt the Governor will immediate ly draw on the contingent fund for the amount, to defray the expenses of the trial. Capt. Ayer of Soutn Carolina passed through Auguhta last week, en route for Kansas, and accompanied by twenty six emigrants from Beaufort district, according to the Chronicle ; hut from Barnwell according to the Constitu tionalist. Philadelphia papers state that the Vestry of the church of the Epiphany, have requested Dr. Tyng to resign his rectorship in conse quence of his late introduction of politics into his pulpit. Served him right. It wns stated some time sinco that Martin Van Buren, was a Fremonter. Our last ex changes state that ho is out in a letter to the Tammany Society, giving in his adherence to Mr. Buchanan, and urging his election. ~ + Gen. Sam Houston left Texas for Washing ton on the 25th ult. The Washington Ameri can, after an interview with Gen. Houston, denies his rumored withdrawal from the Ame rican party. The Maine Black itopublican State Con vention, have nominated, on the first ballot, Hannibal Hamlin for Governor. Old General Hannibal, of long ago, was a “cullud pussun,” and the nominee bears an appropriate name. By the bye, we notice that the Fremont party are frequently called the “ Republicans.’ - They should not be deprived of their full title —“Black Republicans.” ♦ The parties interested in the Submarine or Oceanic telegraph, sent out a vessel recently from New York, with a view to recovering their lost cable, which it will be remembered, was attempted to be laid down last year, but broke and sunk, during a storm, in tho Gulf of St. Lawrence. Tho vessel has just return ed, having successfully recovered a large por tion of the cable in good order. We learn from the last Savannah Republi can, that P. W. Alexander, Esq., so long con nected with that able journal, hasretired from its editorial department, and also disposed of his interest in tho paper to Mr. F. W. Sims.— 111 health, ns we regret to learn, and it wish to resume his original profession, havo been the motives which induce this step. We part with Mr. Alexander with infinite regret. He was an ornament and an honor to the corps editorial, of Georgia, whether as a gentleman or writer. Wishing him every suc cess in his resumed profession, wo still hope that the initials “P. W. A.” over which he first achieved reputation, will not wholly dis appear from the columns of the Georgia press. [Thus far Aleek. for the public have we writ ten. But on our owu account, we must bid you a sorrowful good-bye, with the assurance that as we utter that mournful word, a sudden dampness nsserts itself in our eyes. Ah! Aleck, you needn’t try to givo up editing for any thing else. You'll come back to us yet— mark the words. And here we find our conso lation. What! give up the Press for the law ? Poor swap, Aleck! But you were always too honest to drive a sharp trade.] The Republican is now owned by Messrs. Sneed \ Sims : the former gentleman will conduct the editorial, and tho latter the busi ness department of the paper. British Consul in Trouble. Strange reports are published in the New Orleans papers concerning a summary process served upon Mr. Muir, the BiiGsh Consul in that city. It appears lie was travelling on board the steamer Nicaragua, bound for Cairo, iu company with a French lady, when other ladies took exception to their conduct and sought redress from the captain. The Briton and the fair daughter of France were request ed to leave the boat, and ontheir refusal to do so, the parties were put ashore at a wood yard in one of the most desolate and inhospi table bends of the river above Memphis. The ladies of New Orleans intended to present a testimonial to the captain of the Niagara. Wise and Pleasant*. We find in our exchanges some further par-, ticulars of the late affray between Gov. Wise and Hugh It. Pleasants. It is stated that Pleasants went into the Executive Chamber ot the Capitol at Richmond, where Gov. Wise , was engaged in writing, and taking a seat by i invitation of the Governor, said, after a brief period, “ I thought gizzard foot was here.” 1 Governor Wise smilingly replied : “ \ am the man.” Pleasants, rising from his seat and approach ing tho table at which the Governor sat, said: “By God! I did not know you; and so you are ebo-skin and gizzard foot ?” “ lam,” remark ed Gov. Wise, with a smile, “and you are Hugh Pleasants.” Pleasants thereupon com menced abusing the Governor without any provocation whatever, when the Governor or dered him to leave the room, but he refused to do so. The Governor then rose from his seat and approached Pleasants, and taking hold of him endeavored to push him out. — ; Pleasants resisted, squared off, and placed himself in an attitude to strike, when the Governor struck him with his fist under the left eye, and cut him pretty severely. He then seized him by the arm, turned him round and kicked him. At this time the mes senger of the Executive came up ami had him removed by the order of the Governor. The Know Nothings of the city are very in- j dignarit about tho affair. From the Journal of Commerce. Exports of Cotton. I have before me a memoir of Eli Whitney, inveutor of the Cotton Gin, written by Profes sor Olmstead, of Vale College, in which it is stated that tho first export of cotton from this country to Great Britain was in the year 1784, and consisted of but eighty bags, the entire export of that year. That cotton was seized by tho English Custom House officers, on the ground that it could not havo been the growth of the United States. There are many persons now living who can remember the time when nota pound of cotton was exported from the United States. Such have lived to see it yield near one hundred millions of dollars per annum. What a change in seventy two years ! Now this great change is owing more to Eli Whitney, a humble individual, born in West boro’, Massachusetts, than to any one cause— for it was he who discovered the Cotton Gin —and of that discovery, Professor Olmstead says: “ How wonderful are events, how often do disappointments in one concern, prove the way for success in others, which, but for the particular disappointment, might have re mained dormant.” Mr. Whitney went to the State of Georgia to become a teacher in a pri vate family. The person who contracted with him did not fulfil his engagement —he was thus out of employment, and gave his attention to tho invention of the Cotton Gin. This was in 1792. E. MERIAM. Brooklyn, Heights, June 27, 1856. From the Alabama Journal. From Kansas. We give the following extract from a letter received by oue of our compositors from a rel ative, who went out to Kansas with Mr. Bu ford’s company: Four Miles South of Kansas City, Mo., 1 June 22d, 1856. / I have been through the “ wars ” in Kansas Territory, and am now perfectly tired out. I have been in oue battle and several skirmish es, without receiving any personal injury, ex cept a slight bruise received from my horse falling on me when he was killed from under me : but I received three bullet holes through my bat and laid a “tub full’’ of Sharpe’s balls to whiz around me. I have killed two of the “dogs” and Cosgrove one. The United States troops will not permit us to enter the Territo ry armed, any more, and hence “Othello’s oc cupation’s gone.” lam coming South just so 9oon as I can make a “raise.” Buford’s expedition is unfortunate. His men are scattered all along the frontier, trying to make money enough to “carry them back to Old Virginia.” If you write to me, direct your letter to St. Louis, as I shall proceed thither in a few days, and remain long enough to get money to bring me home. You need not be the least uneasy about me nor send me mone}', for “ there’s a way where there’s a will.” Bo of good cheer; 1 will come upon you the first thing you know, and at a time when you least expect me. This is undoubtedly the finest country in the world, without any exception : and if some of our wealthy slaveholders were to visit it once, they would emigrate with all their house hold. Evans is at Lecompton at work and Wilson has gone to St. Louis. The South ought to send 20,000 men here this Fall, well armed and provisioned. If she don't begin to stir her “ stumps” Kansas will be a Free State, sure. J. F. S. Death of B. T. Bethune. (In Monday of last week, our community heard with deep pain tho intelligence that the remains of our late fellow-citizen, Benjamin T. Bethuue, had reached this city. His health had long been declining, aud we were not un prepared to receive the mournful intelligence that his spirit had left its tenement of clay; yet, it was hard to realize the fact, that one we had known so long, loved so well, hnd left us forever. Mr. Bethune was a good man, and a most useful citizeu. Long will the poor and humble about this city bear in their heart of hearts the memory of his kindness. And this is his best eulogy. His remains were fol lowed to the grave, by the Baldwin Blues, of which corps lie was an honorary member, and a very large number of tho citizens of this place. May the memory of his modest worth, prove an example that will be sanctified to the good of all. —Federal Union. A Chinese Street Arrest A man seated on the pavement holds in his j hand a white porcelain tile, about a foot square. This he overspreads with a blue col or, from a sponge dipped in a thin paste of iudigo, and asks us to uame a flower. I sug gest a Lotus. He extends his fore finger most remarkable fore linger, crooked, flexible as an elephant’s trunk, and as sharp as if the end hnd been whittled off—gives three or four quick dashes across the tile, and in ten seconds or less, lo! there is the flower, exquisitely drawn aud shaded, its snow cup hanging in the midst of its long swaying leaves. Three mere strokes, and a white bird, with spread wings, hovers over it; two more, and a dog stands beside it. The rapidity and precision of that fore finger seetn almost miraculous.— He covers the tile with new layers of color, and flower after flower is dashed out of the blue ground. A clergyman residing in New York city, but prevented from performing pastoral labor by an afflictive dispensation, has recently received the very handsome sum of thirty thousand dol lars, presented to him by a Southern Christian gentleman, who desired in this manner to make him comfortable for life Mr. Fillmore’s Speech at Rochester Mr. Fillmore said that he had no reason to disguise his sentiments on the subject of the Mi ssouri Compromise, which seemed to be the chief source of the unfortunate[agitatiouß that now disturbed the peace of the country. He said tiiat it would be recollected when he came into the administration the country was agita- [ ted from centre to circumference with the ex- 1 citing subject of slavery. This question was ( then forced upon the country by the acquisi tion of new Territories, and he feared that the eloquent address of the chairman gave him , more credit for the settlement of that question 1 than lie was entitled to, but not more, howev er, than he would have deserved had his pow er equalled his desire. But the truth was, that many noble patriots, Whigs and Democrats, in both Houses of Congress, rallies around and sustained the Administration at this trying time, and to them was chiefly due the merit of setting this exciting controversy. Those measures usually called the compro mise measures of 1850 (he continued) were not in all respects what I would have desired, but they were the best that could be obtained after a protracted discussion of this subject, which shook this Republic from its ceutie to its circumference, and I felt bound to give them my official approval. Not only this, but, per ceiving there was a disposition to renew the agitation, I took the responsibility of declar ing, in sbbstance, in my annual message, that I regarded these measures as a “final settle ment” of this question, and that the laws thus passed ought to be maintained until time and experience should demonstrate the necessity of modification or repeal. I then thought that this exciting subject was at an end, and that there would be no further occasion to introduce it into the legislation of Congress. Territorial Governments had been provided for all the territory except that covered by the Missouri Compromise, and I had no suspicion that that was to be disturbed. I have no hes itation in saying, what most of you know al ready, that I was decidedly opposed to the dis turbance of that compromise. Good faith, as well as the peace of the country, seemed tome to require that a compromise which had stood for more than thirty years should not be wan tonly disturbed. These were my sentiments then fully and fearlessly expressed, verbally and in writing, to all my friends, North and South, who solicited my opinion. This repeal seems to have been a Pandora’s box, out of which issued all the evils which now afflict this country, without scarcely leav ing hope behind; and many 1 perceive are ready to attribute all these to our Southern brethren. But is this right? It must be borne in mind that the measure originated with a Northern Senator, and was sustained and sanctioned by a Northern President. Ido not recollect that even a petition from any South ern State solicited this repeal; and how could Southern members of Congress refuse a boon thus offered by the North to the South ? It only could be done by sacrificing themselves upon the altar of their country for their coun try’s good, and this is expecting too much from political men in times like these. The blame, therefore, it appears to me, with all due defer ence, is chiefly chargeable to those who origin ated the measure, and, however we may de plore the act, it affords no just ground of con troversy with our Southern brethren, certain ly none by which they should be deprived of their political rights. But we now see a party organized in the North, and for the first time selecting its can didates for President and Vice Presiaent from the Northern States, with the avowed intention of electing them to govern the South as well as the North. By what rule is a President thus elected to select his Cabinet Councils, his foreign ministers, judges, and other adminis trative officers ? Are they also to be selected exclusively from the North ? Or may you take a Cabinet officer from the South, though you cannot a President or Vice President? These in practice must, as I have said on an other occasion, bo embarrassing questions. The North is, beyond all question, the most populous, and the most wealthy, and has the most votes, and therefore has the power to in flict this injustice upon the South. But we can best judge of its consequences by reversing the scene. Suppose the South was the most populous, the most wealthy, and possessed tne greatest number of electoral votes, and that it should elect a President and Vice President of slaveholders from the South to rule over the North. Do you think, fellow-citizens, that you would submit to this injustice? [Cries of no, no.] Truly you would not; but one universal cry of “no” would rend the skies : and can you suppose your Southern brethren less sensitive on this subject or less jealous of their rights ? If you do, let me tell you that you are mistaken; and therefore you perceive that the consequence of the success of such a party with such an object must be the dissolu tion of this glorious Union. I am unwilling tc believe that those who are engaged in this can foresee the consequences of their own acts. Why should not the gold en rule which our Savior has prescribed for our intercourse with each other be applied to the intercourse between these fraternal States? Let us do unto them as we would they should do unto us under like circumstances. They are our brethren, they are our friends, and we are all embarked in the same ship, and if she founders in consequence of this mismanagement of the crew we must all go down together. This Union must be torn asunder; this beau tiful fabric, rearod by tho hands of our ances tors must be scattered in ruins, and tne peo ple, in the language of tho eloquent address of your chairman, be converted into a nation of Ishmaelites. I cannot contemplate such a scene without horror, and I turn from it with loathing and disgust. I fear that your chairman anticipates too much when he supposes that it will be in my power, if elected to tho Presidency, to restore harmony to the country. All that I can say in such an event, I should be willing to make every sacrifice, persoual and political, to at tain so desirable an object. But I can never ; consent to bo the President of a portion of this ; nation as against the other. I can give no pledge for the future that is not found in my past conduct. If you wish a Chief Magistrate to administer the Constitution and Laws im partially in every part of tho Uniou. giving to every State and Territory, and every citizen his just due, without fear or favor, then you may cast your votes for me. I repeat here what I have said elsewhere, that if there be those at the North who want a President to rulo over the North, or if there he those at the South who want a President to rule the South, I do not want their votes. 1 can never represent them. 1 stand upon the ; broad platform of the Constitution and the | Laws. If l should be called upon to adminis ter the Government, the Constitution and Laws of the country shall be executed nt every haz ard and every cost. [Applause.] It is stated by Washington correspondents that Mr. Marcy has been highly complimented by’ several members of tha diplomatic corps, in Washington, for the able and conciliatory man ner in which he conducted the Crampton affair and also upon its favorable result. Mr. Marcy has all the time, contended that the result 1 would be satisfactory to this country. TELEGRAPHIC. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. Telegraphed for the Daily Sun. Columbia, July 11.

On Monday afternoon the train from Wash ington for Baltimore, on the Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, was thrown from the track near Elk Ridge Landing, killing two persons and wounding thirteen others. The Baltimore Sun says: “The engine and tender, after running some ten to fifteen yards down this sideling, were overturned by the broken rails and thrown di rectly across the main track, when the whole train was dashed upon them. The first car which struck it, a baggage car, turned entire ly over it and Was broken up, the contents be ing strewn in every direction. The next, also a baggage car, was thrown entirely from the track and wrecked. The next, a mail and ex press car, was thrown from the top of the wreck of the others and broken into fragments. The smoking car came next, and this was cut in twain by a passenger car in the rear, which ran directly through it. Both these cars were shivered to pieces, the latter being thrown di rectly upon the top of the former. About one-third of the next passenger car was torn off by coming in contact with those in advance of it, while the end of the next was stove in. The two remaining cqrs in the rear were un injured. Those wounded were, for the most part, in the smoking and first passenger car. The engine and tender are as perfect a wreck as could be possibly made.” James Gough, the engineer, was caught be neath a baggage car and killed, as was William A. Nagle, a paper vender, of Baltimore, aged 30 years. The latter was a volunteer in the Mexican war. Wm Bridges, of Baltimore: Jacob Goff, baggage master; G. W. Hoover, conductor, and ten others, were slightly wounded. A coroner’s jury have rendered a verdict that the accident was occasioned by the dis placement of the switch, by which the train was thrown off the track. They add that the switch was displaced by someone unknown to the jury. The Railroad Company have offered a reward of $2,000 for the detention and ar rest of the person guilty of this outrage. An old Soldier Gone. We followed to the grave on Saturday last, says the Shreveport (La.) Gazette, the mortal remains of the venerable Robert Rurnside.— He fought the battles of his adopted country, and has gone to that distant land where wars and rumors of wars are never known or heard. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, though he had been for the last forty five years a citi zen ol the United States, lie was a soldier at the battle of New Orleans under General Jack son. “Blues” at LaGrange. We learn that the True Blues were badly beaten by the Columbus Guards in the contest for prizes at LaGrange, Wednesday. The Guards were demolished in a contest at the target in this city last season, and have now turned the tables. Whether the nerves of our boys were unstrung by the volleys from the bright eyes of the Georgia girls, or some other causes offered them, we know not; but they confess that they never shot worse. The truth is, if they do not mind what thoy are about, they will be obliged to call on Gen. Carroll’s corps of “Old Fogies” to redeem their reputation.— Ala. Journal. The science of naval gunnery prosents many curious facts. In firing into masses of timber, or °.ny solid substance, that velocity which can but just penetrate will occasion the greatest shake, and tear off the greatest number of and largest splinters ; consequently, in close ac -1 tion, shot discharged with the full quantity of powder tears oft - fewer splinters than balls fired from the same nature of guns with reduc ! ed charges. In naval actions, shot intended j to take effect upon the hull of an enemy should : rather be discharged with a tailing thau a ris ing side; but such pieces as may be appoint ; ed specially to act against the masts and rig ging should be fired with the rising motion— the aim being taken low. Curious Invention Avery curious invention has heen made in England. Its object is the manufacture of picture frames and other articles of like des ciiption out of bricks; and singularly enough, such an object as this has been and can be suc cessfully accomplished. It is done as we un derstand, by reducing pieces of old bricks to powder mixing thispowder with some portion of the taj or refuse of the gas works, and temli ! compressing the mixture into suitable moulds. \ The result is said to be a solid, durable, and j beautiful article of almost any given pattern. + A drowning boy was recently rescued in Bos ton, by a Mr. Lemon, whereupon a bystander j j remarked, 4 that the little fellow would have per- t I ished, had it not been for Lemon-aid.
