We cull the attention of the Mechanics, and the citizens generally of Columbus, to the lecture to-night by Prof. Darby at Temperance Hall. Every mechanic in the city should be pres sent. See advertisement in another column. Yellow Fever Charleston. Two deaths from yellow fever occurred in the Mariue Hospital at Charleston, and one in the City, for the forty-eight hours ending 10 o’clock on Monday night. Attracted by the crowd yesterday, we step ped in at Messrs. Happoldt & Murray's, where wo found the object of attraction to be a Hea ver that had been shot and killed in the Chat* tahoochee, a short distance above the City Mills, by Mr. Daily. Tts weight we understand is 55 pounds. Two others, wo learn, had been killed at the same placo a few days previous. Hon. W. L. Yancey. This gentlemen addressed a large and atten tive audience at Temperance Hall on Tuesday night. The address was able, calm and argu mentative. Among many other topics noticed, was the charge against him of inconsistency in oppos ing Mr. Duchanan in 1848, apd supporting him in 185 b. At that time he said Mr. Bu chanan had not defined himself as to the pow er of tho people in the territories, to admit or exclude slavery. But that subsequently Mr. Buchanan had set himself right, and read from a letter of Mr. B. to Mr. Sanford of Alabama, dated August 21st, 1848, to prove his consis tency now in giving him his support. The following is the extract read from Mr. B’s letter : “In my letter to Berks county of the 25th August, 1847, I had dd, ‘under the Missouri Compromise, slavery was forever prohibited North of tho parallel of 30° 30, and South of this parallel the question was left to be decided by the people.’ What people? Undoubtedly the people of the Territory, assembled in con vention to form a State Constitution, and ask admission into the Union ; and not the first ad ventures, or ‘first comers,’ who might happen to arrive in tho Territory, assembled in public meeting. “ The Joint Resolution for annexing Texas to the United States, approved March Ist, 1845, answers the question in the following words: ‘And such States as may bo formed out of that portion of said Territory lying South of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, North latitude, commonly known as the Mis souri Compromise, ahull be admitted into the Union, with or without slavery, as the people of each State asking .dmission may desire.’ Such was the descriptian of the people to whom I referred in my Berks county letter.” Another matter which was news to us—that the resolutions and platform adopted by the American Convention at Macon, on the Bth of July, (at which the Philadelphia platform was repudiated, and.Mr. Fillmore nominated), and sent to Mr. F. for acceptance and endorse ment, had not yet been heard from, though Mr- Fillmore hnd promptly responded to a nomination in New York by the American party of that State, made several weeks after the adjournment of the Macon Convention. Occupying the position of a neutral, perhaps somo will think wo aro rather leaving the track to give publicity to these revelations. We give them for what they are worth. If what is stated about Mr. Fillmore be untrue, let it bo contradioted and wo will publish the cor rection. Rock Island Paper Minus, ) Columbus, Qa. Aug. 12th, 1856. j T. De Wolf, Esq., Publisher “Daily Sun.” Dear Sir: —We frequently receive letters from our patrons, asking why we do not furn ish them with as good paper as wo furnish you. Now sir, you get no better paper than other people. It is all made in the same man ner, and there is no discrimination in your fa vor. The entire difference consists in the Printer. For the benefit of the “craft,” you will confer a favor upon us, and benefit your brother chips, by telling us all how you manage it. Can you? Will you be so generous? Respectfully, Mott & Winter, Proprietors. We hardly know how to answer the above querry. We dip out; paper in clear water, from 15 to 20 hours previous to putting it to print. The paper is printed upon a Iloe Cyl inder, folded as fast as it falls from tho ma chine, aud immediately mailed. Wo are not disposed to believe you have favor ed the Sun, ou tho contrary, at times, we have been disposed to think the reverse the case. We will hero remark, however, that we have been a paper consumroer for twenty-three years, Bix of which we havo used the paper of your mills, and are satisfied that for sound ness of body, and freedom from lint in print ing, it has no superior; and our experience has proved it superior in this respect to any it ha 9 been our good fortune to test. Crops in Montgomery County. Tho Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, of the 12th instant, says the corn and cotton crops in this region is unquestionably bad as a general thing. Occasionally a good crop of both may be found; but for a good crop matiy bad ones can be seen. The new cotton which has al ready found its way to market, is no evidence that the crop is either an early one or a large one. Because it is a known fact, that this new cotton has been gathered from stalks which have quit growing or bearing, in conse quence of dry weather, rust, or somo other disast .’. The late dry weather has done im mense damuge. And even if rain should now come, the planters think it will perhaps do ful ly as much harm as good. Beyond doubt, the present crop of cotton must fall far short of the last. New Cottc- in Hamburg. A bale of now cotton, the first of the season, was received on the 11th instant, in Hamburg, 8. C., from Mr. Charles |Hammond’s ‘Snow Hill’ plantation, and sold to James C. Lark at fifteen cents. Fancy Ball. Tickets have been issued lor a Fanny Ball, on a magnificent scale, to come oil at the Cha lybeato Springs, Merrywether county, Ga., on the evening of the 21st instant. It is unnecessary to say more to orir young friends of Columbus. We published, a few days ago, on the au thority of tho Alabama Journal, that Mr. Car penter, one of the F’illmore Electors, had abandoned the cause of Fillmore. \\ e find the contradiction in tho letter of Mr. Carpenter, declining the position ol Elector, from which we mako a short extract: I find it will be impossible for me to servo as Elector for this (4th) district in the ap proaching campaign, aud 1 thereby tender you my resignation. lam influenced to this course by considerations of a personal and private character alone, and not by any dissatisfaction towards the party, its principles, or its candi dates ; 1 feel a lively interest in each and all of them, and shall cheerfully do all in my power to promote their success, and regret very much that circumstances prevent me making tho ef fort coutempiiited by the Convention in con ferring upon mo the appointment. Correspondence of the SavaunaU Iff'.vs. Washington, Aug. 6. —ln a former letter I informed you that the Government at Washing ton expected information from Englaud, that the Central American difficulty would be amica bly arranged. By tho late arrival, this is cor roborated. Great Britain yields on all the points at issue. The Island of ltuatau and ad jacent Islands which England had constituted a colony in the most formal manner, are to be ceded to Honduras to whom they rightfully belonged, and the Mosquito Territory is to be rendered to Nicaragua, who has claimed it all along, and whose title to tho same has been so pertinaciously raised by Great Britain against the arguments of the United States. This is a great triumph for our country, and for the Administration. But how lias it been brought about? Let honor be given to whom it is due. England has never before been brought to such a position as regards their country, has never in our history, yielded in the same manner and in the same spirit to tho United States.— The language of her ablest statesmen is chang ed. Ilow is this? Under the Administration of President Pierce, this wily and great power hns been made to understand and feel the might and spirit of this great Republic. The giving of Mr. Crampton his passports at the same time the Government recognized the Ni caragua Minister showed clearly enough, that notwithstanding tho threatening language of the British Ministry and the blustering of the British press, the people of this country were resolved to maintain their rights and fulfil their destiny. This has brought Great Britain to her unexampled position. Let honor, as I have said, be given to whom it is due. In public history this triumph belongs to the Ad ministration. However, there is a private history with which the people of the United States, and your readers of the South espe cially, ought to be acquainted. The President of the United States being satisfied of tlie im proper conduct of the British Minister had been disposed all along to tender him his pass ports, and had been disposed to favor the movement of Americans in Central America, but from an honest desire to preserve peace, aud to fulfil our treaty obligations, and from the conservative pressure of the Secretary of State, was unwilling to act decisively. He would have deferred the matter, but certain of the Southern delegations, and foremost among them the S. Carolina delegation, before they went to the Convention at Cincinnati, in sisted ou decided action from the President. The President was disposed, hut cautious, and perhaps somewhat timid, but the democratic party was decisive. The President, under its influence, has settled the difficulty and elevat ed our country in its position among the pow ers of the world. These facts are duo to the truth of history, and it is in the vocation of the independent press to perpetuate them. The democratic party lias conquered England in the position she assumed, and has made peace more certain in the future. The Preet dent hns dnno woii, we ins party has done better. England, however, being defeated on the ground she had takeu, consoles herself in the fact that the Clayton Bulwer treaty is a sufficient check upon us. The Times says that by that treaty wo are effectually barred from annexation or the exercise of sovereignty over any party of Central America. Such has been American diplomacy and want of states manlike foresight. The Season.—The Crops. The Knoxville (Tenn.) Whig, of Saturday, says: The patched fields, drooping corn and shade trees, of the grater portion of East Tennessee, during a drouth of two months, are mournful sights to look upon. The crops of Wheat were line and abuudant, and the crops of Oats were fair; but tho failuro in the corn crops has run up. Wheat to one dollor, and there is now no probability of its selling for less, if even so low as that. We heva now some in dication of rain, yet if aboundant showers do not come, corn, in most parts of Upper East Tennessee, is beyond all hope of recovery.— The Wheat and Oats, therefore, will be retain ed for home consumption. The Cotton Crop in Dallas. The cotton crop is suffering immensely from the drought. The squares and small forms are dropping oil’, and in many places half grown boles are dropping off. Should the drought continue, there is no calculating the injury that will result to the cotton crop, and even now without a lute Fall, so far as we can learn, there will not be more than two thirds of a crop made in Alabama. We do not re collect of ever hearing of so poor a prospect for crops in the State, ns will bo this year.— Selma Sentinel. Elisha Hughes, in a letter from Santa Clara, California, to the Scientific American, gives the following account of some old ruins re cently discovered. “I recently had an opportunity of examin ing some anciout ruins, lately discovered about six miles east of Santa Cruz. They were nearly burried up in a sand hill. I found twenty-three chimneys with their tops peering above ground. These chimneys are round, and vary in diameter from four to twelve inches. They aro made of sandstone; and were filled up with loose red sand. The stones of which they are built are cut circular, ce mented together. I stnmped on the hill, and it emitted a hollow sound, indicating vaulted chnmbers below. A tunnel is now being run in under the hill; at first it was attempted to ] sink a deep shaft, but the sand came in too j fast upon the miners. Who built these struc- | tures no one can imagine. They appear to be thousands of years old. A large yellow pine was grown on the top of the hill. The num ber of years required for sand to cover up these houses nnd form the hill, before tho seed of this large tree germinated, could not be less than two thousand.” TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS. Additional by the Anglo-Saxon. Quebec, AuSust ‘J.— The accounts from Spain arc meagre and unreliable in consquence of the telegraphs and roads being in the hands of the Government; the intelligence being that the royal troops had bombarded Saragossa on | the 24th ult., whereupon the insurgents de manded aud had obtained au armistice for five days. It, is reported that O’Donnell and the Queen had disagreed. Narvaez may succeed to the Ministry. The Parliamentary Committee have reported on tho Sound Dues, but no mode of settlement was adopted previous to the adjournment of Parliament, it is said that the government has taken no steps to replace the dismissed Consuls in tho United Slates Privateering. New York, August 11.— Mr. Marcy’s dis patch in reply to the French Government on the subject of tho Four Powers in regard to Privateering, has been published. It is very forcible, and states that the President declines to accede to either of the four declarations, without an amendment to the first, exempting the Private property of belligerents from seiz ure, unless it be contraband, and PTpreshe2 ihe : opinion that France would be unwise to recede j to the propositions without such an amend ment. The Kansas Prisoners. Washington, August 11. — It is untrue that Judge McLean has issued a habeas corpus writ in the case of the Kansas prisoners. Factory Explosion. New York, August 10.—Wilder’s Safe fac tary at Brooklyn was destroyed by tire yester day, in consequence of the explosion of a boil er. Fifteen men were injured, some fatally. Later from Havana. New Y'ork, August 10. — Advices from Ha vana state that the fever was generally preva lent. Many American Captains had died. Troops for Nicaragua. New York, August 9.—The Cahawba, for San Juan, has taken to Nicaragua troops ancl ammunition. Election Returns. Washington, August 11.—A dispatch from Little llock, Saturday, says that Conway, the Democratic Governor, has 3500 majority.— Warner and Greenwood, Democrats, are elect ed to Congress. A letter at St. Louis on the 9th states that the contest for Governor, is be tween Ewing and Polk. The chance of Polk is thought to be the best New York Markets. New York, August 11, 1 P. M.--Flour lias declined, and State is worth $5.90, and Ohio $6.40 per bbl. Wheat has declined, and Southern White commands $1.66 per bushel. Corn is quotted at 61 cents per bushel. England and France. In Parliament the question was asked by Mr. Murrougli, whether the British Govern ment was prepared to adopt any and wliat measures for preventing armed interference by France, in the affairs of Spain ? Lord Palmerston replied that there was, at present, nothing in the internal affairs of Spain that could in any way lead to the inter ference of the Frence Government. Upon the general question of interference, he could only say that the Emperor of France is a man of great justice, and he would feel that, in any case, foreign interference in the affairs of Spain would be unjust. He was also a man of great sagacity, and events had shown that the interference of those sovereigns who had been led to interpose in the affairs of Spain had been attended with disaster to themselves; but there was no reason for apprehending that the Emperor of the French had such intention. FRANCE. The intentions of the French Government with respect to Spain are the subject of much conversation in Paris. They say that O’Don nell proves himself master of the situation, France can have no occasion to interfere. On the other hand, if the Liberals gain the day, and even should the present Queen be required to abdicate in favor of the Princes of the As turias, with Espartero Regent, neither would F’ranee interfere. But Finance would, invade Spain in oitLoi <>r two cases; firstly, should the Duchess, Montpensier become next heir and make pretensions to the throne; or, secondly, should a Republic proclaimed. —♦ The National Intelligencer presents a tabular list of seventy-eight internal improvement bills, all originated in the Senate, and all of which, with the exception of three, have passed that body. The most important of these bills have already become laws by a vote of two-thirds in each House. The amouut of appropriation required to meet tho expense of this system of internal improvement is as follows: Total amount appropriated in bills orig- mating in the Senate $3,135,333 To which add amouut appropriated in House bill for improvement of Des Moines Rapids, Upper Mis sissippi, which bill has passed both Houses.... $200,000 $3,335,833 From which may be deducted the sum proposed to be appropriated in the bills laid on the table or rejected by the Senate $240,000 Total amount appropriated by bills that passed the Senate S3,(K 0,333 The Intelligencer states that “ most of the objects for which appropriations have been voted were included in the general bill which met the Presidential veto at the last Congress, and the friends of the respective measures were eonse quently compelled to present each item in a scperate bill, to be tested upon its own merits. The greater portion of the bills were passed by votes of twe to one, and the principle hmv therefore be considered as fully tested before the present Senate, aud affirmed by that body, that the General Government possesses author ity to appropriate money from the Treasury to works deemed national in their character, us well as under the clauso granting power ‘to regulate commerce’ as under the war-making power. If we may judge of the sentiment of j the House of Representatives on tho subject ! by its action upon the three bills which have become laws notwithstanding the Presidential veto, we may consider the policy as settled, so far as the thirty-fourth Congress is concerned.” New Cotton in Montgomery, Ala. The Mail, of the 9th instant, says: “The first bale of new cotton came in this morning, from the plantation of Mr. Holmes, of this county. South. It was sold at action, by Messrs. Leo & Norton, and bid off’ at 12i cents, by Mr. Crane, of the firm of Crane, ‘ Wells & Cos., of Savannah, who happened to be on the ground, and will be forwarded im mediately.” Wendell Philips, the abolitionist, on the 4th, tells us what tbo slave power is. He Said: “The slave power is the government. The merchants of Boston are the slave power, who want the profits of the government; the man- t ufactures of New England are the slave pow er, who want the profits of cotton. It is the wealth of the country.” | GENERAL ITEMS. Charles Sumner has been elector, orator, and Win. 0, Bryant poet of the Phi Beta Kap pa, of \ ale College.

Punch Bays: The day after tho apparation of the Yankee at her Majesty’s levee, in a black cravat, the English funds actually declined. A correspondent draws from the fact, tho fol lowing moral: The “ties of the two nations must be extremely loose, when “cravats” can thus affect the “stocks?” We learn that, in answer to inquiries from postmasters as to the ultimate disposition to be made by them of letters held for postage in their respective offices, they are instructed to return them quarterly to the Post Office De partment, in the same manner as, by its regu lations, they are required to return advertised letters. It is now said that Jenny Lind has netted £BO,OOO during her farewell London and Pro vincial season, and that the public in conse quence of the system of buying up tickets by the music sellers, must have paid at least -2200.000 for the privilege of hearing the Swe dish Nightingale.

In England, out of 50,000,000 acres culti vated, 10,000,000 are sown to wheat or other cereal crops, while in France 50,000,000 are cultivated for that purpose. The average growth of wheat per acre in England is thirty two bushels, and in France only twelve bush els, while the produce of English land is about sixteen dollars per acre, and that of France eight dollars per acre. A few weeks ago several individuals arrived at New Bedford, says the Standard, as sailors on board of one of our whale ships.
