Dear Sir : —The Mechanics of this city have recently formed a Society called “The Mechanics Union of Columbus,” for the pur pose of advancing its members in the mechan ical sciences and arts, and particularly for the benefit of our young mechanics and appren tices ; also for benevolent purposes among themselves. As we are in need of funds to forward our enterprise, 1 do not know of any more expeditious and probable way to raise them than by soliciting some of our well known scientific men of high standing, to come to our aid in the way of public scientific lec tures. Would you do us the favor of delivering a preliminary lecture for our benefit in this city at your earliest convenience, on any subject that may best suit you. Very Respectfully, &c. A. D. Brown, President. Auburn, Ala., July 29th, 1856. A. D. Brown, Esq., President of the Mechan . ic’s Union of Columbus, Ga. Dear Sir : —Your letter of the 25th is in hand. It will give me great pleasure, can 1 render my aid to your society in its laudable enterprise. There is no class of men for whom I have a higher respect, than for the mechanics of our land. They are its greatest benefactors. They have done more than any other class, to plo£e our country in the high position she now occupies, and without whose aid, all other agencies would have been nearly or quite fruit less. A class of men who can number among its members, a Franklin, a Whitney, a Fulton, a Perkins and a host of others, nearly equally celebrated, and as results of their labors, such practical inventions as the lightning rod, the cotton gin, the power loom, and the steam boat, need no advocate for their claims to the world’s respect and gratitude. They will have both. 1 have no doubt, that there is as much intellectual power now employed by our me chanics in tho workshops of the laud, as by any other class of men. The results of their labors prove the position. It will give me pleasure to address your as sociation, at such time ns you may desire, on tho following topic: The inducements for young men to study the natural laws that gov ern the material world. With sentiments of high regard, I am yours &c. J. Darby. Two small colored boys, belonging to Mott Middleton, Esq., were bitten by a rattlesnake, at his plantation, a few miles from this city, Saturday night last. They were walking to gether and trod upon the reptile, which im mediately inserted its fangs in the foot of one and ankle of the other. The overseer, a col ored man, upon bearing their cries, went to their assistance. Kuowingthe danger of their situation, there being no physician nearer than the city, he had to rely on his own untutored skill, which however, turned out most for tunately. He drenched tho little sufferers thoroughly with whiskey, and buried their wounded feet iu the earth, keoping it well moistened around them. In this situation, and perfectly stupid from the effect of the spir its, they were kept for several hours, nnd when heard from last, yesterday morning, they were both doing well’ and considered en tirely out of danger. The case is worthy of note by planters and others who live remote from medical assis tance.—Savannah Republican. The New York Examiner says: We are in formed by a friend in this city, that he lias just received a letter from a reliable source in Burmah, informing him that the Rev. E. Kin caid and family were seen to start for this country, by the overland route—Mr. Kincaid having received five thousand rupees from his Burmese Majesty the King of Ava, to be the bearer of a royal letter to our government, in viting the establishment of friendly and com mercial relations between the Court of Ava and the United States.

Columbus, Ga., Aug. lltb, 1856. In accordance with a notice made from one of the city pulpits, on the 10th instant, a por tion of the citizens of Columbus assembled in the basement of the Methodist Church, this evening, for the purpose of organizing a Relief Association for the benefit of the indigent and needy sick of this city and vicinity. The meeting was organized by calling Judge John Johnson to the Chair, and requesting J. A. Girdner to act as Secretary. The Chairman, in a few remarks, explained the objects of the meeting, which were con curred in, by responses from Dr. M. Woodruff, Dr. W. W. Flewellen and R. C. Shorter. On motion of Dr. Woodruff, that the names of such persons present, as are favorable to the objects of the organization, be enrolled by the Secretary, it was adopted, and the follow ing names presented, to wit: John Johnson, R.

Girdner, Sect’y. Hon. W. A Richardson is out in a card in the Washington Union, of the sth inst., deny ing that he ever expressed a doubt as to the vote of Illinois, as alleged by the New York Tribune. He says: “no well-informed men in Illinois, doubts for a moment that the vote of that State will be given for Buchanan by a very large majority.” “Ex-President Roberts, of Liberia, left for En gland on the 6th inst., in the Persia. His visit to this country was on business connected with the establishment of a college in Liberia. Tho necessary funds, $20,000, have been already raised. The services of two professors have been secured. Spain.—Full Details of the Insurrection. Madrid journals of July 18, have been re ceived, and present us with the “official” ac count of the insurrection. The National Guard had been almost entirely disarmed. Already 10,000 muskets and a considerable quantity of pistols, sabers and lances had been collect ed, and domiciliary visits were being made to secure all the arms in the hands of the citi zens. Numerous arrests had been made, and there is no longer fear of any further outbreak in the capital. The casualties of the royal troops are estimated at forty or fifty killed, and one hundred and fifty wounded ; the losses of the insurgents are not known. The royal troopsengaged consisted of thirteen battalions, with fifty pieces of artillery—in all about 16,- 000 men. The cavalry, 2,000 in number, were employ ed outside the gates in keeping up the commu nication between the three corps into which the royal forces were divided. Queen Isabella’s exultation is described as great, and she had rewarded the officers by a general permission to kiss her hand, “in the very clothes they wore during the struggle.” Wounded officers and soldiers are to be promoted a grade, with pensions and crosses. A complete change is made in the personnel of the Governors of pro vinces, and all persons in authority who “be haved feebly in the presence of disorder” have been dismissed. At Barcelona the rising was not put down until after a good deal of fighting, extending over two days. From Saragossa there is no further news than that a portion of the troops remain faithful to the Queen, aud that the insurrection is confined to that city. Government was dispatching all available troops toward this last stronghold of the insurrection, and their instructions are, if opposed, not to be led into street fighting, but to bombard the city from the adjoining forts. Nothing positive is yet known of Espartero, but it seems probable that he has been permit ted to leave Madrid, although, nominally, un der arrest. O’Donnell expects to receive, in a day or two, news of the submission of Sara gossa, and with it, of the whole of Spain, to his Government. The Insurrection at Madrid. Advices to the 19th leave no doubt that the O’Donnell government reign-i supreme at Madrid. The city at thai uoio was reported “tranquil.” Espartero was still at Madrid, and, according to the London Times corres pondence, O’Donnell had offered him passports to any part of Spain, or to go abroad. An offi cial return says the loss of the troops in sup pressing tho insurrection were 6 officers killed and 19 wounded; 32 soldiers killed and 2 missing, and 202 wounded. No return is made of the loss sustained by the insurgents, but private accounts say that the troops behaved with great ferocity, and butchered several companies of the National Guard after they had ceased to resist. Business was beginning to be resumed, and crowds daily visited the scenes of conflict. The artillery had damaged a number of buildings, among them the pal aces of Medina-Celi aud the Platerias, also the residences of the Count de Onato, the Countess Montijo, and others in the streets of Milanese and Toledo. Lord Howden, the English Embassador, was, as usual, absent from his postwhen these events took place. He has received orders by telegraph to return instantly to Madrid via Saragossa. Marshal Narvaez, on the revolt breaking out. offered his services to O’Donnell, and has received the appointment of Minister to Paris in place of Sr. Olozaga. The Duke of Alba, brother-in-law of the Em press Eugenie, is appointed Mayor of Madrid, pro tem. Patricio Escosura has sought refuge at the British Embassy; his brother, who held a command iu the insurgent ranks,fhad escaped. Letters from Madrid of the 18th, bring the following intelligence: On the previous day numerous arrests were made, and orders were given that the insurgents who had been taken prisoners should be sent under strong escort to some fortified places around the capital.— Among the persons arrested is M. Madoz. He commanded a battalion of the National Guard during the insurrection, as well as M. Esco sura. TLo Utter lias asyetescaped the search made for him. Several general officers who were at Madrid during the late events, but did not present themselves to the military au thorities, are to be brought before a court martial to answer for their conduct. The universal opinion is, that the bearing of the army during the whole of the late events was admirable. The immediate cause of the sudden dispersion of the National Guard is not yet known. The movement was commenced by the battalion of M. Madoz, which occupied one of the houses near the palace of the Cortes. M. Madoz had massed his companies in a cross street, protected from the fire of the soldiers, and when they were all assembled there, he all at once ordered them to return to their homes. This order was given after the fire had been opened by the troops, and after a conference had been held by MM. Madoz, Rivero, (the democrat,) and others, with m! Serrano, the Captain General of Madrid. This order for dispersing was naturally communi cated to all the other posts, and they in their turn, after a little hesitation, gave way. Va rious surmises exist as to what took place at the conference just mentioned. It is said that M. Madoz and his friends were alarmed at the warmth of the fire of the troops, and from understanding that it was the determination of O’Donnell to act with the greatest severity. Other accounts say that the ammunition of the National Guard was already exhausted. It is thought that the resolution of M. Madoz was come to in concert with Marshal Espatero. The latter, his par tisans say, seeing the turn given to things iu the Congress by tho Democrats, did not wish to sacrifice the throne, or launch into tho hazards of anarchy and civil war, and in con sequence did all he could to restore tranquili ty. It is stated that Marshal Espartero ap peared for a moment at the Congress on tho loth, and that he retired very much disgusted. There has been in all his conduct more weak ness than evil intention or malevolence. The large quantity of specie which had been sent from Paris by the Credit Mobilier Company arrived in safety at Madrid. M. Pedro Bay arri on the 17th took possession of the Minis try of the Marine. The Madrid Gazette publishes a great num ber of promotions and dismissals; all the gen eral and other officers who were wounded have obtained their next step, and the soldiers who distinguished themselves, or who have been wounded receive decorations and pensions. The Queen had 30,000 cigars distributed among the troops. Several Governors of Pro vinces have been placed on the retired list. There is also a decree removing Gen. Prim from his functions of Governor of Grenada, but the Queen reserves to herself “to utilize his services on his return from abroad.” Gen Prim some days back left for Spain. The Journal de Madrid says that Espartero demanded a passport for some place abroad, and that the Government gave it to him for any place which might best suit him. It is said that he left Madrid by the Alcala gate in a post chaise escorted by cavalry. The same \ journal says that some idea of the great re sources of the Government to put down the insurrection might be formed by the fact that it had 69 pieces of artillery ready for action, but only made use of 12 of them. The Insurrection at Barcelona. The Paris Moniteur of the 24th says: “The last news from Barcelona announces that tho conflict there was very keen, but that the suc cess of the Queen’s troops maybe considered us secured. On the 18th, the firing lasted from five in the evening until midnight. On the 19th, it was resumed from early morning till 8 p. m. On the 20th, it lasted the whole day, and on the 21st, from morning till 5 o’clock in the evening. On this last day the insur gents being driven from Union street, Rue Nueve of the Rambla, and from the Hospital of La Junquera, their principal positions, be took themselves to the country, where the cavalry soon rode them down aud sabered them. Gerona and La Junquera are still in a state of insurrection. Tranquility prevails at Figueras, and the garrison is prepared to sup press any outbreak. It is thought the victory at Barcelona will arrest tho other movements in Catalonia.” Paris, July 24, 1856. On the 23d, at 8 a. m., the Royal troops were masters of every point of Barcelona, but still remained under arms. The struggle was very sanguinary. Preparations were being made to execute the persons who were taken with arms in their hands. Gen. Ruiz com mands the garrison at Gerona—which place has risen. The London Star learns that twelve hun dred persons were killed in the streets of Bar celona. The people fought behind their bar ricades, with determined courage, for three days, and would have persevered, but when they began to lose ground, their leaders deser ted them. The Last Session of the Cortes. The sitting of tho Cortes held on the 14th was attended by ninety of the members who were present in the capital, and who immedi ately answered to the summons of General In fante. The sitting was opened at 41, o’clock, under the Presidency of General Infante. The following proposition was then read: “We demand of the Cortes that they will be so good as to declare that the newly constitut ed Cabinet does not deserve their confidence. Signed: Pascal Madoz, Pedro Calvo Asensio, Manuel Lasala, Manuel Matheu, Praxedes Sa gasta, Francisco Salmerou y Alonso, Ramon Perez.” This proposition, supported by M. Madoz, was opposed by the Marquis of Tabuerniga alone. He has since received his reward from O’Donnell, by being appointed Under Secreta ry of Foreign Affairs. The members then proceeded to give their votes, and the proposition was adopted by eighty one of the deputies. A few of them had withdrawn, or abstained from voting ; one solitary member voted against the resolution. They then drew by lots for the committee, and the following proposition was read: “We demand of the Cortes to appoint a committee that shall proceed to Her Majesty the Queen, and acquaint her with the decisiou adopted at the sitting of this day. Salmeron, Larrus, Perez (D. Ramon,) Sagasta, Alonso Cordei’o, Fernando de los Rios, Bulues y So lera. This proposition, supported by Salmeron, was taken into consideration It was resolved that it should be referred to the different bu reaux or committees, and that the sitting should for that purpose be suspended. After an interval of three quarters of an hour the sitting was resumed. A report was brought up of the nomination of the Special Commit tee, and at the same time the address which they had prepared, was read as follows : Madame: The Constituent Cortes have re solved, at their sitting of this day, after having seen in The Gazette Extraordinary the first acts of the new Cabinet presided over by the Count of Lucena, that this Ministry have not the confidence of the Chamber ; a resolution which they transmit to you through the medi um of this message, persuaded that you, who have always shown yourself so zealous for the peace and prosperty of this nation, will know how to employ your royal prerogative, so as to prevent the great misfortunes which the Constituent Cortes apprehend for liberty and for the throne so nobly occupied by your Ma jesty. The debate was opened on this address, but no one rose to speak against it; it was unani mously adopted. They then proceeded to draw lots for the Committee who were to present the address to Her Majesty. The President then said: The Commandant of the Palace will be informed of this, and will request Her Ma jesty to be so good as to fix the hour when she will receive the deputation of the Cortes. M. Moncasi—May I beg the President to continue the sitting until the return of the deputation ? Mr. President—We donotknow theliourwhen the Committee will be received. Several Dep uties—Never mind the hour: we will wait here till it returns. The Chamber having been consulted about this, the majority decided on remaining in per manency until the deputation should have brought back an account of its mission. The President then declared that the sitting was suspended. It was 7 o’clock, and in thecourse of that evening the Minister O’Donnell answer ed the resolution of the Cortes by a curt note, saying as it was illegal he would not present it to the Queen, and ordering the meeting to disperse. Policy of the New Government. 1 he new Government has issued a semi-offi j cial programme of their policy, which is theo retically quite liberal. Its features are as fob lows: 1. No bloodshed for mere political punish ment. Capital punishment to bo reserved for common crimes committed under tho cloak of political opinions. 2. Conciliation and tolera tion. Moderate progressists not to be exclud ed from public functions. 4. The Constitution to be published. 5. The Constituent Cortes to be dissolved, and ordinary Cortes convoked. 6. The National Guard to be re-organized on a reduced scale. 7. Political prosecutions brought before the previous Governments and certain persons connected with them to be put a stop to. 8. Endeavors to obtain the modifi cation of some article of the Constitution, and certain administrative principles. Lastly, tho same administrative system as before to be followed. Article 7 is especially intended to push the investigations against Queen Maria Christina. According to the statement of the United States Register, the receipts into the United States Treasury during the quarter ending June 30th, amounted to $18,902,634.16, and the expenditure for the same period. $29,780,- 721.22 ; including the latter was the payment of the Texas indemnity, to tho amount of nearly seven millions. The Richmond Enquirer gives notice that a party is forming for Kansas, which will leave Petersburgh in the course of a month. The Indiana Bulletin, of July 26th, learns that the sugar planters on Cancy will scarce ly be ablo to save enough for seed, in conse quence of the unprecedented drought having destroyed the crops.
