COLUMBUS: Friday Morning, August 15, 1850. I.AKUEST CITV CIKCUJL.ATION. * ‘ - - - ■ ■■ Disastrous Fire. A frieud sends us the following slip : The good people of the town of Goldsville, Tallapoosa county, Alabama, were suddenly startled about 2 o’clock, a. h. on the 4th iust., by the alarming cry of fire, and although eve ry exertion was made by citizens and tire com panies, the devouring element could not be stayed until one entire block was reduced to ashes. Loss heavy, and no insurance. 11. —— ♦ ■ - The Charleston Hoard of Health report no doath from yellow fever for the last forty-eight hours ending Tuesday evening 10 o’clock. They report two admissions into the Marine Hospital, from the shipping, but no now cases in the city. About Kansas. The Griffin (Ga.) Union says Mr. John H. Mangham, of that place has just returned from Kansas, where he went to examine the lands and judge for himself the advantages which Territory offers to Southern emigrants. lie represents the lands as very fine, and the coun try generally well adapted to farming pur poses. Some of the land is well timbered, es pecially the Indian reserve, and supplied with abundant water. Mr. Mangham says the corn and wheat crops are splendid, and that the country, should law and order be restored, promises to furnish every facility for success in ariicultural, mechanical, and industrial pursuits generally. He expresses great satis faction with tho climate, fertility of soil, wa ter, &c., and thinks the favorable one for Southern enterprise. He says that the proslavery men are in the ascendant, and thinks the vote upon the constitution will be in favor of slavery. Mr. Mangham can have no interest in misrepresenting, and we therefore place implicit reliance in his opiuions of Kan sas. There are doubtloss many who have gone there, not much inclined to labor, under the best circumstances, and as they cannot live there without labor, they are dissatisfied —as they would be any where. Lager Beer and Yellow Fever. The Havana de la Marina, of the 23d ult., records the following extraordinary cure of a case of yellow fever. A young German, at tacked with alarming symptoms of yellow fe ver, was sent to tho Maison de Saludof Doctor Gans ; he refused to take the medicine pre scribed for him, but ran away, went back to the beer shop whore he had been previously employed, drank large quantities of beer, washed his person with some of the same li quid, and arose next morning in good health. . Neuman’s Statue of Washington. This famous statue of hammered sheet cop per is on exhibition at tho Church of tho Di vino Unity, No. 648 Broadway. The Express says: The statue is really a fine work of art, and hammered as it is out of sheet copper, by a simple coppersmith who has never had any in struction or modeling, it is a monument of pa tience, perseverance and skill that challenges our warmest admiration. The statue displays genius of a high order in the artist—genius that should be cultivated, and deserves to be appreciated. Wo recommend people of all parties to go and look at the beautiful effigy of the father of his country. * Gerrit Smith, a man sufficiently known for his hatred of everything connected with the institution of slavery, is reported by the Syra cuse Journal to have said:—“lt is a shrewd choice, tho selection of Fremont. It is of groat importance that ho be elected. The question is not now a constitutional question, but a question of blows, a war question; and if the first battle is to be in Kansas, we should cast aside party, and fight the battle.” Anew Cent is to be coined containing 88 parts of copper and 12 parts of nickel, making a coin of a darkish red color. It is to weigh 72 grains—less than half the present cent, which is lf>B grains. This will reduco the coin to a size more nearly corresponding with its small value, and be a great relief to those who uso them. Mr. Fillmore’s Letter of Acceptance. The Rome (Ga.) Courier of Tuesday, con tains Mr. Fillmore’s Letter of Acceptance in re sponse to the nomination tendered him by the American Party of Georgia. Buffalo, N. Y., July 31, 1860. 11. V. M. Miller, Esq. Sir: —l have tho honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of tho 12th iustaut, in forming me that, at a Convention of the Amer ican party of the State of Georgia, held in the city of Macon on tho Bth and 9th instant, I was unanimously nominated as their candidate for tho Presidency of the United States at the ensuing electiou.

If my friends believe that 1 have sufficient intelli gence to know their Constitutional rights, and sufficient honesty and moral courage to main tain them, they will be satisfied with this, but if 1 lack either, no pledge could supply the deficiency or justify them in giving me their support.

We hva little novel or interesting from Eu rope by this arrival. The accounts from Spain are conflicting, but judging from appearances, the Royalists have triumphed. Senor Aloseja, the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, resigned im mediately an hearing of the coup d’etat, but the Queen refused to accept his resignation.— Advices from Madrid, dated the 26th ult.. state that all was tranquil except Sarragossa, which was closely invested and must submit. The King of the Belgians contradicts the re port of his contemplated abdication. Advices from Stockholm mention that great excitement existed among the diplomatists in consequence of the reclamation by Norway for Russian encroachments on Norwegian territo ry. Advices from Italy state that the Austrians were making preparations to cross the Po at four points.

Russia refuses to surrender Kars until the last of the allied soldiers have quitted Turkey. Congressional. Washington, August 11.—The Senate laid on the table the House bill to re-organize Kansas, by a vote of 35 to 13. The Kansas Proviso to the Executive, Judicial aud Legislative bill was stricken out. Mr. Douglas presented an elabo rate report from the Territorial committee against the House bill re-organizing Kansas and to restore the Missouri Compromise. In the House, Mr. Campbell, from the com mittee on Ways and Means, reported a tariff bill, adding to the free list, Salt, raw wool be low the value of 15 cents, and above 50 cents per pound; all classes of drugs and dry stuffs used in manufactures, and all raw materials entering into our manufactures.

A correspondent of the Boston Atlas, in a letter from Paris, speaking of tho disasters to speculators in American grain, says : “ It is believed that tho liabilities of M. Place will prove even greater than was antici pated, and that so far from being inferior to $3,000,000, they will exceed this sum. The Duke of Galleria positively loses a million of dollars; M. M Ernest, Andre & Cos., Count de Morny, the Pereires, lose about $300,000 apiece. M. Place was a marine painter before the golden fever attacked Paris, and began his adventurous career with nothing but wind.— lie is said to have been the owner of those immense quantities of grain at Chicago which have attracted so much attention. Homicide at Gadsden. Alabama. Wc are permitted to make the following ex tract from a private letter dated Gadsden, Ala., Aug. 6. Day before yesterday young Whorton re ceived a wound in the lower part of the abdo men, from a pistol shot, in the hands of a boy —pei-lmp fifteen years of age. This morning 1\ horton died ! The difficulty grew out of a bet made on the Ten pin alley ! The amount involved was Five cents ! Whorton was a wild —dissipated, quarrelsome young man.— Rome Courier. Sad Accident. Young Mr. George Cox. son of Mr. Lewis Cox, of this county, happened to a very seri ous accident on Wednesday, 6th inst., while out hunting. It seems that he was looking up into a tree for a squirrel, and in stepping around the tree his gun, by the trigger coming in contact with a bush, as is supposed, fired tskiug effect in his neck, passing through his wind pipe aud throat, and breaking his jaw bone. We are glad, however, to learn that there are hopes entertained by his medical attendant that the wound will not prove fatal.— La Grange Reporter. Fatal Affray. It will be remembered that a few days since we published a letter from Washington County giving an account of the meeting of a hostile nature between Dr. Williams and Mr. Huggins which resulted in the latter’s death.— We have before us a letter which gives a differ ent version of the affair from the letter above spoken of. It states that Dr. Williams called at the residence of Mr. Huggins aud that he came to take satisfaction on Huggins for kill ing a cow of his. A short time after they met in the woods accidentally or intentionally, (as the letter on William’s part states,) when Wil liams fired at Huggins both barrels of his gun one of which took effect and killed tho latter instantly—one of the barrels of Huggins’s gun had been previously discharged at a deer. We learn from the letter, that Dr. Williams has given security iu the sum of SIO,OOO for his appearance at the next term of court.—Mo bile Tribune. From Washington. Correppoiuience ofthd Charleston Standard. Washington, Aug. 11. —The proceedings of Congress are becoming deeply interesting as the session draws to a close. The signs of the times are indeed painful to contemplate; and to the reflecting mind; the perpetuity of our political anion becomes exceedingly problemat ical. 1 doubt not myreaders have noticed the extraordinary debate in the Senate on Thurs day last, nud tho solemn manner in which that body presented to the other House the issne— to recede from all their Kansas provisos, or defeat all appropriations for the support and maintenance of the army. The issue is not presented on the merits of these provisos, but upon the fact whether one House of Congress has any right to force their particular views upon the members of the other, on subjects foreign to the bill undeT consideration—iu other words, whether the House of Represen tatives, ditfering with tU Senate, honestly it maybe, on the Kausus difficulties, lias any constitutional right to say to the Senate, “un less you agree with us on these disputed points, we will defeat the supplies for the public ser vice, and arrest the progress of the Govern ment.” Sachffasbeen the action of the Black Republicanf&aiqnty-,in the House, and such has been the the Senate and the is sue presented by that body. The country will sustain the Senate, and if the result be the defeat of the appropriations for tho public ser vice, one voice, loud and universal will gonp in condemnation of the wretched revolutiona ry action of the negro worshipping traitors’ who could thus trifle with the institutions of freedom. The defeat of these bills may well embarrass the government —but not Franklin Pierce—but the government of the American people. It will do more, however. It will embarrass the great commercial interests of the North, and produce a financialcrisis which will crush out every thing like Black Republi canism, even iu the free States. The “shrieks for freedom’ 1 sound well in the ears of our Northern friends until they begin to shake the prosperity of private fortunes—until they reach private purses—until trade and com merce. ships and factories feel and suffer the blighting effects—then, indeed, will there be an “about face”—and not until then. As Senator Butler justly and eloquently said— “arrest the movements of the federal govern ment—stop all its wheels and machinery--and the country would scarcely perceive the check —as the strength of the Union rests not upon tho actionof federal powers but upon the might and stability of Stat .: sovereignities.” Some of the Black Republicans now urge that they recede from their Kansas provisos as they acknowledge their unconstitutionality —others, however, declare their readiness to run the ship of State upon the breakers. A few days more will exhibit the facts pregnant with the highest interests of freedom and civ ilization. Look to the revelations. The House of Representatives passed tho supplemental bill yesterday, for certain civil expenses of the Government, including among other things an appropriation of $300,000 for continuation of the Custom House at Charles ton. The sessions of the two Houses are now from 11 o’clock iu the morning; and evening sessions are held regularly. An immense amount of business will be pressed through in the next week, it being the last week of tho session. Ivaniiok. Important Rumors. The generally well informed Washington cor respondent “Ion” states: Movements of the highest importance to the interests of tho United States are now on foot iu Europe, growing, in part, out of the assum ed designs of Napoleon 111 upon Spain. I may state, upon information not question able, that the British government have again urged upon Spain the expediency of the sale and cession of Cuba to the United States. I say again, too, pending the Ostend conference ihe British Government favored this measure. But now, in view of the ambitious project of Napoleon HI. for the assertion of pretensions to the crown of Spain, that government has become exceedingly anxious to strengthen Spain, by cutting off hov expensive and useless appendage of Cuba, and by the same means to enable Spain to improve her provinces, and be the better enabled to s cure her independence against domestic insurrection and foreign in vasion. If Napoleon succeed in his intrigues, lie will extend his empire over both Spain an 1 Cuba, and this attempt is necessarily to bo resisted by England at the hazard of a war with France —a war in which she will gladly have the Uni ted States as an ally. The transfer of Cuba to any foreign power the United States have been pledged to resist ever since the administration of Mr. Monroe. The British government have represented to the late government of Espartero, and the pre sent administration of O’Donnell, that Spain cannot long retain possession of Cuba against the United States, and that she had better code the island at once to the United State-! for a proper consideration—a hundred or a hundred and fifty millions of dollars—and thus improve her physical and political condition. Napoleon 111. lias, on the other hand, con centrated a large force on the Spanish fron tier, and is actively engaged in intrigues with the Queen mother, Christina, whose malign influence is felt deeply in the affairs of Spain. A rupture between England and France is to be apprehended on this subject at an early day ; meanwhile England seeks to conciliate the United States by removing every possible cause of disagreement, and the two countries may be soon compelled to make common cause against the designs of France in regard to Spain and Cuba. A Savannah man traveling in upper Georgia and Teuuessee, writing to the Savannah Re publican from Chattanooga, says: The weather is very hot and dry iu all this country. We had a light shower of rain Sun day, which revived the growing crops, but it soon disappeared. There will uotbemore than half crops made, but plenty of old corn re mains over to do the country.

G. B. Disasters of a Diffident Man. It was at a dinner in Paris. The ordinary routine of a French table had commenced. A regular series of servants appeared each instant at our elbows, inviting us to partake of a thou sand different, kinds off wine. Resolute to avoid all further opportunities for displaying my predominant trait of bashfulness, I sat in the most obstinate silence, saying oui to every thing that was offered to me, and, eating with the most devoted application, till my fair neigh bor, tired with my taciturnity and her own, at length herself.beguu conversation by inquiring liow I was pleased with the opera. I was just raising a large morsel of potatoe to my mouth, and in order to reply as Quickly as possibly, I hastily thrust it in, intending to swallow it as hastily. Heaven! It waff as hot as burning lava. What could Ido! The ladyli eyes were fixed upon Me, waiting a reply to her question. But my mouth Was in a flame. I rolled the burning mosel hither aud thith er, rocked my head from side to side, while my eyes, which involuntarily I had placed on her, were strained from -their sockets. She regarded my grimaces, of the cause of which she was ignorant, with an expression of amaze ment and surprize, at which I can laugh now when I think of it. “ Monsieur is ill! ”at length she gently and in an anxious tone inquired. I could hear no more. My mouth was flaying with intolerable pain.; so, quietly abandoning the point, I open ed it to the utmost and out dropped the infer nal brand upon my plate. Not the slightest tendency to risibility ruffled the imperturbable politeness of the lady. She soothingly con doled with me in my misfortune, then grad ually led the conversation to a variety of top ics, till exerting the magic influence that truq politeness always exercises, I began to forget even my own blunders. Gradually my cheeks burned less painfully, and I could join in the conversation without the fear that every word I uttered shared the fate of the actibn I at tempted. I even ventured to hope, nay, to congratulate myself, that the catalogue of ca lamities was completed for the day. “ Let no man call himself, happy before death,” said Solomon, and he said wisely. The Ides of March arc not yet over. Before us stood a dish of cauliflower, nicely done in butter. This 1 naturally enough took for a custard pudding, which it very much Tesem bled. Unfortunately my vocabulary was not extensive enough to embrace all the technical ities of the table, and when my fair neighbor inquired if 1 was fond of corfleur, I verily took it to be the French for custard pudding, and* so high was my panegyric of it that my plate was bountifully laden with it. Alas, one sin-! gle mouthful of it was enough to dispel my il lusion. Would to heaven that the corfleur had vanished with it. But that remained bodily, and as I gaze despondently on the huge mass that loomed almost as large and burning as’ Vesuvius, my heart died within me. Ashamed to confess my mistake, though I could as read ily have swallowed an equal quantity of soft soap, I struggled manfully on against the mountainous heap at its base—shuting my and opening my mouth, to inhale as large masses as I could without stopping to taste it.- But my stomach soon began intelligibly enough, to intimate its intention to admit no more of this nauseous stranger beneath its roof, if not even expelling that which had already gained admission. The seriousness of the task I had under taken, and the resolution necessary to execute it, had given an earnestess and rapidity to my exertions which appetite could not have inspir ed, when my plate having got somewhat over the edge of the table, upon my leaning for ward tilted up, and down slid the disgusting mass into my lap. My handkerchief, unable to beav so weighty load, bent under in its turn, and a great portion of it lauded safely in my hat. The plate instantly righted itself, as I raised my person and saw as I glanced my eye round the table, that no one had noticed my disaster. I inwardly congratulated myself that the nauseous deception was so happily dispos-l ed of. Resolved not to be detected, I instantly rolled my handkerchief together, with its re-, maining contents, arul whipped it into my pocket. The dinner-table was at length deserted for the drawing-room, where coffee and liquors were served. Meanwhile I had sought out what I considered a safe hiding-place for my hat, beneath a chair in the dining-room, for ( dare not carry it any longer in my hand, hav-j ing first thrown a morsel of paper, to hide the cauliflower, should any one chance, in seeking for his own hat, to look into mine. On my return to the drawing-room, I chanc ed to be again seated by the lady by whom I had sat at the table. Our conversation was resumed, and we were in the midst of an anß mated discussion when a huge spider was seen running up her arm. “ Take it off!—take it off! ” she ejaculated in a terrified voice. I was always afraid of spiders; so, to avoid touching him with my hand, I caught my pock et-handkerchief from my pocket, and clapped it at once upon the miscreant, who was already mounting over her temple with rapid strides. Gracious heavens! I had forgotten the caulU flower, which was now plastered over her facd like an emollient poultice, fairly killing the spi-i der, and blinding an eye of the lady—while little streamlets of soft butter glided slowly down her neck and bosom. “ Mon dim ! Mon dieu ! ” exclaimed the as tonished fair one. “ Mon dieu!” was re-echoed from every person’s mouth. . “ Have you cut your hand ! ” inquired one< “No! no!—tho spider—monsieur is killing the spider.” Well might the company be astonished : the spray of the execrable vegetable had spattered her dress from head to foot. For myself, the moment the accident occurred, I had inechani ically returnod my handkerchief to my pocket, but its contents remained. “ \\ hat a monster must if Lave been,” ob served a young lady, as she helped to relieve my victim from her cruel situation, “I declare 1 should think he had been living on cauli flower.” , At that moment I felt someone touch me, and turning, I saw my companion, who come with me. , “Look at your pautaloons,” ho whispered. Already half dead with the confusion and disaster I had caused, I cast iny eyes upon my own white dress, aud saw, at a glance, the horrible extent of my dilemma. I had been sit ting on the fated pocket, and had crashed out the liquid butter, and the soft, paste-like veg etable, which had bedaubed and dripped down them, till it seemed as if it were actually dis solving my pantaloons. Darting from the spot, I sprang to the place where l had left my hat; but, before-1 could reach it, a sudden storm of wrath was heard at the door. “ Sucre ! bete ! sac-r-e ! ” the r in the first syllable being made to roll like a watchman’s rattle, mingled with nnotliei; epithet and name that an angry Frenchman never spares, was heard rising like a fierce tempest without the doors. Suddenly there was a pause, a gurg ling sound, as of one shallowing involuntari ly—ilnd the storm of wrath again broke out with redoubled fury. I seized my bat and opened the door, and the whole matter was at once explained ; we hail exchanged hats— and there’’ he stood, the soft canlitlower gushing down his cheeks, blinding his eyes, filling hi, mouth, hair, mustochios, ears, and whiskers Never shall I forget that spectacle. There he stood astride, like the Colossus, aud steeping gently forward, his eye forcibly closed, hi, arms drooping out from his body, ana drippn,,, cauliflower and butter from every pore. c 1 staid no longer; but, retaining his hat, \ rushed from the house, jumped into a ‘fiacre and arrived safely home, heartily resolvin'- that I would never again deliver a letter of i a . troduction. Kill or Cure. At the Marquesas Islands, when one of their number is sick the medicine they give is a cos tin ! They lay it alongside of a sick person and if he is really going to die, it helps him off. If not, it starts lum up ! A missionary who was lately on one of th te islands, states that the people are now increas ing iu number, which he attributes to the intro duction of firm-arms. Formerly when tho, fought with clubs, their warfare was very do structive; but tho muskets were so sure t kill that they fought two miles otf, and wlei they had discharged their muskets both par tie ran ! When he discovered this, lie encourage] them to buy guns, and he supposed there w a one to every man on the island. Open the Way. Some years ago, wlion the narrow skirl were in fashion, says the New York Times certain good people built a church up town - In order to get as many seats as possible, the slips were made pretty narrow. This Ims’ oc casioned great inconvenience of late ; but wa got along with as well as possible, until a fat weeks since, when four ladies, wearing those huge whalebone skirts, became wedged iu oia of the slips, and were drawn out with great difficulty. The trustees had a meeting” an] at once resolved to come up to the age, at] workmen are now busily engaged in remodel ing the building—so that a similar accident will not be likely again to occur. The Foreign Trade of Turkey. The effect of the despotism of the Turkish Government is nowhere more apparent than in the limits which it indirectly imposes upon production. Agriculture in Turkey is just f about in the same state as in the time of Abra ham, Isaac and Jacob, carried on without in telligence, and a mere matter of routine. According to Ana Bone, the Bulgarians tab best care of their land, aud the rich harvest: of Servia show to what.they might attain wen it not for the crushing despotism of the Cot g erument. Few farmers in Turkey have tin capital; necessary for successful cultivation, and those few are compelled to hide their rich es or to take them out of the country. The Turkish Government has, besides, done noth ing like what is necessary for country roads it is almost impossible, when crops are raised, to get them to market, and the tribute levied on them is not left out of account. The trad: of Turkey is, therefore, exceedingly limited. In the year 1854, France exported to Turku only to the amount of $4,000,000, while lie: exports to Belgium, Sardinia, Switzerland, Si cily, Holland, Tuscany aud Lucca, although these countries have only two-thirds the popu lation of Turkey, amounted to $50,000,00!’ So the exports of England, in 1864, were ti Turkey $14,000,000, to Egypt $6,270,000, ad to Syria and Palestine $1,830,000. If we tab into consideration that at the beginning oftfe present century the commerce of Greece, is- j eluding Macedonia, Epirus and Thessaly, with 1,400,000 inhabitants, amounted to only $4,- 400,000, while the present kingdom, with i million of inhabitants, has a commerce of SB.- - 000,000, it is clear that a free government!: - highly favorable to trade with foreign coun tries. Have Mercy on the Children. The Independent, in an article on the phy- 1 ieal degeneracy of the American people, , speaks as follows: “ The child’s will governs too much. If the; do not choose to go to bed they sit up ; if tin; choose certain articles of food they must hav \ them, parents forgetting that instinct is nos#; guide in a child, whatever it may iu an anius So we see them in their delicate organization keeping late hours when they should go to be with the birds ; sleeping often in warm at lighted rooms, when the sleeping room shou. 1 be cool and dark; and eating hot bread, pm j ding, and cake, and drinking tea and coffeei the infinite detriment of nerves and stomacl The injury done can never be repaired; a‘ machine imperfectly constructed at first, o never be made to run faultlessly. “ This is the secret. Parents should to’ that instinct is no safe guide to a child, par’ cularly when the child is surrounded on sides with poisonous delicacies. To ask child at a modern table what it will have, w give it what it asks for, merely because it as* for it, is a very common practice. But it as cruel as it is common. Have mercy on fi children.” Horrid Murder. On last Thursday, about ono o’clock. young lady named Ann Melissa, daughter Mr. Richard Taylor of Stump Sound distric and Onslow county, was found not far from k ~ father’s residence, having evidently been mur dered within an hour of the time when she found. The marks on lier person indican ~ that she was choked tc death, marks of fin? ers being upon her neck which was also ‘ swollen. The deceased was an exceeding; 11 amiable young lady, and very much respects j The occurrence has caused a deep sensation I the neighborhood. The excitement is ven | great: Miss Taylor was about nineteen ye” J of age. Suspicion attaches to a young negro fe’ belonging to Mr. Neheminh Taylor. There j no positive proof, but circumstances an such a character, that he has been taken ; j and is now in the Jail of New Hanover count, j for safe keeping, to await his trial at the a : £ term of Onslow Superior Court.— Wilmin'<;> , (N.
