COLXJMBXJS: Friday Jlnrnlnttt Angn* *** LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. “ Honor to whom Honor is Due.” In our report yesterday, we ascribed to Dr. Flewellen, on the strength of his remarks on Tuesday evening, the honor of being the pio neer in getting up the Columbus Relief Asso ciation. We have since been informed that the honor is to be divided among several gen tletncn belonging to the Medical stall, the Clergy of the city, end some private persons. Now our inference from Dr. Flewellen’s lan guage was just, and ho was understood gener ally, we believe, as we understood him. The error was a trivial one, for though Dr. F. may not have participated immediately in getting up the present society, he certainly was an early mover in the cause of relief. He has often brought the sufferings of the poor to the notice of the city authorities, and has obtained appropriations at their hands for the benefit j of the poor. It was to these efforts doubtless, that ho alluded, in ascribing to himself credit. As we desire, however, to rob no man of his rightful honors, wo cheerfully make the cor rection, and only withhold names by request. ♦- Prof. Darby’s Lecture. The promised lecture of l’rof. Darby before the Mechanics’ Union ofthiHcity will be given at Temperance Hall, this evening, commenc ing at 80’clock. Subject— “The lnducements of young men to study the Natural laws tiint. govern the Material World.” Citizens gener ally and the Ladies in especial arc invited to attend. Lecture free. We bespeak for the Lecturer, who is one of the ablest men of science in the South, a large audience ; and feel warranted in promising all who attend, an entertaining and useful lecture. City Criminal Court. This Court adjourned on Tuesday to its next regular term in November, with many cases docketed, among which are several pros ecutions for gambling. Since our last report the following cases have been disposed of, viz: Tho State, vs. William Smith, for assault and battery. James Hamilton, Sol. Gen. for the State assisted by Wiley Williams , Dixon and Plane for Deft.—Mistrial. The State, vs. Joseph C. Heps, for Retailing without license. Verdict guilty ; fined by the Court. The Sol. Gen. for the State, B. A. Thornton for Deft. Tho Storm at New Orleans. By yesterday’s mall wc received the anx iously expected intelligence from Cnlliou Island. No lives were lost, a small spot on tho island being not overflown, and upon which the inhabitants gathered and were thus fortunately saved. Immense damage has been dono at various points to property in the shape of crops, house, shipping, stock, &c. Oft’ for Kansas. Mr. Henry Clayton passed through this city yesterday on his way to Kansas, having with him a company of thirty seven men, four of whom had families. Mr. Wm. S. Reynolds, a printer of this city, was one of the four men tioned. We wish them God speed, on their journey, and good luck at the end of it. The Arabia sailed from Halifax for Liver pool, Saturday last, but many of the passen gers wisoly refused to go in her as she was leaking badly when she started. The passen gers who remained were entertained by Mr. Cunard, at his residence, on Saturday ove uing- It will be seen by reference to our telo gruphic column that the Abolitionists are ugaiu the assailants of the pro-slavery men in Kan sas. We trust the noble State of Missouri will see that Southern men have fair play, and doubt not that sbo will do so. It seems clear th t nothing short of a fight will satisfy the fanatics of Kansas, and we hope they will bo accommodated to their heart’s content, bavin” no feais for tho result. Atlanta Elopement. The Savannah Republican of the 20th, says: A young lady of 17 or 18 years of age, recent ly eloped from Atlanta, with a married man, tho father of four children, who left his wife and took with him his offspring. The wife came to Savaunah in search of her children, and yesterday found three of thorn, girls, at tho institution of the Sisters of Mercy, where they had been placed to board by their father. The other child, a boy, is no doubt with him, but no clue has as yet been had of his where abouts. We prefer to suppress the names of the parties until further information reaches us. Efforts are making to return tho boy to its mother, which wo hope may prove success ful. Fremont’s Backbone. A pious seditionist, conuectcd with the Bos ton Christian Freeman, has had an interview with the woolly horse candidate for the Presi dency. Tho individual thus alludes to Fre mont’s dress aud his backbone: When l found the Colonel, I thanked my stars that 1 had studied my own comfort in my costume, llis own dress consisted of a pair of thin pants without suspenders, no vest, and common loose, brown linen sack. And so he received his guests. Why, l tell you, he is a perfect man, just as God mado him, without foreign airs or fixings of any sort or kind, lie is a Republican to the backbone ; and you may rest assured that he has a “ backbone,” too. None of your stiff ones that can't bend till it Weeks, nor none of your India rubber ones, that bend to every thing—but it is one of your finely tempered steel fixtures, and bends to lose its noble up. viglituess, r Row at Heidelberg. It seems that the fighting epidemic has ex tended to the grave students of the divinity school at Heidelberg University. A student of dmrity, says a foreign journal, fancying him self insulted by his professor, demanded, but was refused, satisfaction, and set to work and thrashed the pedagogue. The Senate conse quently condemned him to expulsion during two years. Thereupon, as customary, all the urchenhatteu acid a solemn comitat, and some ! ■ -00 escorted the offended offender to the rail- F way station at Landeuburg. Here a row took ’ * hlch ended in a general onslaught be tween the people and students, who were not armed, aud who at length withdrew without se rious damage, to Heidelberg. Hereditary Influence. The last Westminster Review contains a very interesting and able article upon heredi tary influence, animal, vegetable and human —a subject of the utmost importance to man kind, for it is to hereditary influence that char acter and constitution are due for tbeir basis ; and it is by hereditary influence that man has emerged from barbarism and advnuces to a higher civilization. Tho mental and moral habitudes, trainings, triumphs and acquisitions of tho parents, are transmitted to their proge ny ; so, on and on, from one generation to an other, each making new acquisitions and in creasing the common stock, thus forming what is called Progress. Os course no synopsis of the article to which wo allude, can be so entertaining as the origi nal ; but wc have thought that a summary of its chief points might be of interest, based as they are upon a large amount of data, from which the conclusions readied, are irresistible. Premising that identically the samo laws ap pear to reign in the vegetable as animal world; 1 and in the brute kingdom as in that of man, the four following chief points are obtained— -Ist. Heritage is constant, that is unceasing; and is also invariable. The child is bound to follow its parentage. It is a law of organized beings that the organization of parents, men tal and physical, should be transmitted to the offspring. 2nd. Tlie offspring directly represents both parents, and indirectly represents its ances tors. 3rd. The offspring never represents both parents in absolute equality, though it does represent them in every organ. Sometimes one parent predominates in one system, as the father in the nervous, the mother in the mus cular ; sometimes in all, in which latter case, the child wholly resembles the predominating parent. 4th. The causes of the above predominance are numerous. Some are due to “potency” of race, or individual superiority in vigor, health, age, &c.; the otlie other causes, in the present state of knowledge of hereditary influ ence, are hidden from us, thus leavinga broad margin in which to place cases seemingly in consistent with these four points. Many interesting minor conclusions : re ar rived at, some of which we will notice. A child may resemble neither parent. The reason is, neither predominates; but the idio syncracics of each so commingle and blend, as to form anew compound ; as, to use a famil iar illustration, blue aud green make yellow, totally unlike either primitive element, but in which, unquestionably, botli elements are rep resented. In regard to hereditary insanity, scrofula, consumption, and other transmissible evils, the conclusions are :—That insanity—which term, for sake of brevity, we use generally to express all hereditary maladies—may for a long while disappear, owing to predominance of a healthy parent which keeps it in abey ance ; it may even be eventually extinguished by the same cause. Jf the son of an insane parent, should marry a wife of sound and vig orous constitution, descendant of a race free from such taint, and if the said son should be of feeble constitution, inferior to that of his wife, the next generation would not probably show any signs of insanity. But reverse the conditions—let the son in this case have the predominant vigor of race—in a word “poten cy” and insane children would be the infalli ble result. Again, returning to the first hy pothesis, if a descendant of the feeble inheri tor of insanity aud tho robust wife, should marry into a less potent rn.ee than his own, insanity reappears. One word in regard to this matter is sufficient; future events are settled, as a general rule, by might. Neither sex can claim this might, whether might phys ical or intellectual or moral. Hence the idea that all men of genius must of necessity have had mothers of genius, is erroneous. Neither sex can claim superiority. One curious feature in hereditary insanity deservcsjnotiee. It is transmissible, it is capa ble of being bold in abeyance, aiul it frequent ly re-appears in the identical shape which it first assumed. One illustration of the many cited, must suffice us. During the horrors of the French Revolution, a gentleman of Paris, under long mental agitation, shut himself up in a room and there remained for ten whole years. At length his mind was restored, ho returned to the world, married, prospered, and was hap py. But, aud hero is tho point, a daughter, the fruit of that marriage, when she reached the age of her father at the time of his fright, was affected in identically the same way, aud retired from life to the four walls of a seclud ed room. Again, it is to borne in mind, that where an inheritant of insanity contracts alli ance, it does not follow that all the progeny in herit the maladny. Only those do so in whom such inheritant predominates. The next topic taken up, is longevity, which j is asserted to depend inoro upon inheritance I than habit, which we have always believed, j Cases arc cited, and doubtless similar ones j occur to every reader, where men, though in- j dulging in every excess, have lived beyond tlie allotted term ; others, though exercising every restraint and precaution, have been cut off in i the bloom of youth. The writer asserts that longevity is an inheritance, (of course barring acoident, a difficult task in this railroading age,) aud that men may really be said to havo a “talent” for longevity—an inherited talent, like talent for music, or poetry, or painting. This doctrino we greatly incline to, aud the data sustain us in it. Many other interesting features in the arti cle refered to, we are compelled to omit, but may at some future time call up. Ono valua- I ble deduction, the reviewer fails to draw, how ever, which we shall draw for him. It is, that the laws cf heritage should, when properly understood, abate much of “man’s inhumani ty to man; “ should soften harsh judgments I of cur fellow-men and their ways ; teach us charity for their imperfections aud moderation in extolling their virtues. Much that is good and evil in man has descended to him and though it be his duty to cultivate the one and striv e against the other, his native propensi ties, are, like blue eyes, or red hair, or his complexion, things that exist without his own will, and of which, if a virtue, lie must be cautious bow he boasts; it a vice, must be to a certain degree excusable for. “Ihe Leop ard cannot change his spots, nor the Ethiopian his skin.” A6 ineradicable are the propensi ties of the human heart. Mnn may modify but cannot erase—ho may alter and amend, but cannot repeal; and must forever be sway- | ed by the impulses transmitted to him. A word or two must be added in explana tion. When we speak of son, or daughter, or husband or wife, it is for convenience’s sake merely. The laws of hereditary influence favor neither sex. Also we should state that the whole argument is based upon general rules, and that under the head of exceptions, or what the reviewer has chosen to dignify as the “law of variation,” there are cases cited, few in number, hut puzzling in the extreme; and which, in the present s*ate of our knowledge, must go into the margin, above alluded to, of “ unascertained.” Macon and Brunswick Railroad. The people of Macon and the contiguous country are beginning to agitate the subject of a direct railway communication with the grow ing city of Brunswick. Tho feasibility and im portance of the undertaking has been freely discussed, and discussion has already led to in vestigation. Preparations are now being made for surveying the route, and from the known energetic character of the gentlemen who are interested in the work, we feel assured that they will not cease their effort until the road is commenced and finished. The projectors of this road are actuated by no spirit of rivalry or feeling of Hostility to Sa vannah and her interests. They take the en larged and sensible views, that such a road is needed; that it will develope the resources of the section of country through which it will pass: that it will be of immense benefit to Ma con and to Brunswick, and indeed to the whole State ; that it will meet the wants of trade aud travel, by adding another link to our chain of railway communications; that it will accom plish all this, and at the same time prove a ve ry profitable investment of capital. Hence they are determined to build it, and sooner or later it is destined to be built, in spite of eve ry obstacle that may be thrown in its way.— Macon Telegraph. Difficulty. A difficulty occurred in our town on last Sat urday evening, between Dr. John L. Porter and Mr. Richard F. Bostwiek, in which the lat ter received a slight wound in the fleshy part of the left thigh. A negro boy, in the employ of Mr. B. was accidentally shot in the thigh, but is doing well. Os the origin of the affray we are not sufficiently posted to speak. The par ties have been bound over to keep the peace, in the sum of SI,OOO each.— Lumpkin (Ga.) Plaindealer. Ducking Ther was a deal of dodging and ducking in the House Hall yesterday ere they arrived at a final vote upon the amended Senate bill to pay the members a fair compensation. It was sturdily opposed by many members on princi ple. By some of those, we mean, who always vote on principle. Others however, who were so anxious for its passage ns to refuse five or six times to aid in procuring calls for yeas and nays and who voted for the measure when tel lers only were ordered, voted plumply against it when required to go upon the record.— Wash. Star. A Persian Princess. 1 went to see the Shah’s half-sister, a beau tiful girl of fifteen, who lived with her mother in an obscure part of the ante-room neglected by the Shah, and consequently by every one else. She was realy lovely ; fair, with indes scribable eyes, and a figure only equaled by some of the chefs d’oeuvro of Italian art. This is so rare among Persian women, that she was one of the few persons I saw in the country with an approach to a good figure. She was dressed in ttio usual fashion of trousers on trousers, the last pair being such stiff brocade that if put standing upright in the middle of the room there they would remain. Her hair was curled, not plaited, and she was literally covered with diamonds. She was quiet in her manners, aud seemed dejected. She was most anxious to hear about European customs. What seemed to surprise her most was that we took the trouble to undress every night on go ing to bed; and she asked me was it true we put on a long white dress to pass the night in? All Persian women are astonished at this cus tom, and are quite unable to account for it.— They never undress at uight ; they untie their thin mattress from its silken cover, draw it out from its place against the wall, and roll themselves tip in the wadded quilt which forms their blankets. The only time they change their clothes is when they go to bath. If they go out to visit, they, of course, put on their best garments, and take them off at night; but generally they lie down just as they are, and even in cold weather they wear their cha dour, or out of door veil, at night. Rosistnnce to Improvements. The following from Archbishop Whatelcy’s Annotations on Bacon’s Essays, is a rich liter ary and scientific gem: “ It was the physicians of the highest stand ing that most opposed Harvey. It was the most experienced navigators that opposed Co lumbus’ views. It was those most conversant with the management cf the Post Office that were the last to approve of the plan of the uni form penny postage. For the great o’ any one’s experience and skill in his own depart ment, and the more he is entitled to the de ference which is proverbially due to each man in his own province, the more likely, indeed, ho will be a good judge of improvements in details, or even to introduce them himself; but the more unlikely to give a fair hearing to any proposed radical change. All experienced stage coachman is likely to be a good judge of all that relates to turnpike roads and coach horses : but you should not consult him about rail roads and steam carriages. Again, every one knows how slowly and with what difficulty’ farmers are prevailed on to adopt any new system of husbandry, even when the faults of an old established usage, and the advantage of a change can be made evident to the senses.” The Harem and Veil. Among the later items of news from Con stantinople, which appear in the Allgemeine Zeitung, tlie paper so greatly favored by the 1 “ distinguished regards” of Louis Napoleon, is one to the effect that the Sultan had deter mined to pension off all his wives, except one who is to bear the title of Empress. In connec tion with this grand moral reform there is also nnother move on the board of Turkish social life which canuot fail to have a rather startling effect, and which is, that Turkish women are in future to be unveiled in pub lic. The correspondent adds, naively enough that all of the young and pretty Turkish Mis ses aro delighted at the idea, while the old and ugl t \ ( 1: ‘s fairly sereech over the proposed in no Tati vti as sacrilege. ] TELEGRAPHIC. —— - OUTBREAK IN KANSAS. Expressly lor the Daiy Kun. COLUMBIA, Aug. 21. The troubles between Southerners and the Abolitionists have again beeu renewed in Kan sas. The Abolitionists had attacked several pro-slavery settlements. Several persons had been killed and the greatest excitement pre vails on the frontier. It is believed that the Missourians aud pro slavery men were organizing for a general and thorough attack on the Abolitionists. ■’ From New Orleans. New Orleans, Aug. 19.— The steamer Mex ico has arrived from Galveston, which port she ’ left on the 15th. Her captain and crew report having seen near Timbalier island cabin furni ture and other floating signs and wrecks, which are supposed to prove beyond doubt the loss of the Nautilus, Captain Thompson, for whose safety fears had been entertained. [The steamship Nautilus, Capt. Thompson, from Brazos Santiago, touched at Galveston, and left on Friday, Bth, at 6 I’. M., with the U. S. mails, thirty passengers, SBO,OOO in spe cie, and ('0 head of cattle, since which time no thing has been heard of her.] Capt. Rogers, ten seamen aud three passen gers from the ship Manilla, have reached this city', reporting that six other passengers were left on a small island. Five of the crew and five passengers were lost. It is believed that two-thirds of the cargo will be Saved. The last advices received here report that Western Texas is still suffering severely from drought, and that crops will be tolerable. The Panama Riots. Washington, Aug. 15. — The testimony ta ken by Mr. Corwin regardin the terrible mas sacre on the Isthmus of Panama, is very full— covering several hundred pages, and is suffi ciently clear in proving the atrocity as one of the most wicked, uncalled for, and brutal ever perpetrated. It seems, however, that there is no prospect of any redress being obtained un less our government demands it in the most prompt and emphatic manner. Nor is it even certain then, as the Legislature of Bogota has already refused to make any appropriations for the relief of the sufferers or for the prop erty destroyed. Mr. Corwin will prepare at once for departure to the post he formerly oc cupied at Panama, and to which he has recent ly been re-appointed by the President. Kansas Disturbances. St. Loris, August 18.—Westport journals of the 18th (Wednesday) state that on the night of Monday, 11th inst., two hundred Free Soil ers attacked the town of Franklin, then con taining only twenty Southerners, who fought for an hour. The affair resulted in the deaths of six Free Soilers and four of the others, aud after destroying the Post Office, the assailants retired, carrying off cannon and other arms belonging to the town. Another report states that seventeen Free Soilers were killed and others wounded. The U. S. troops occupied the town on tlie next day. Julien’s Speech. A good joke is made of .Julien’s speech at the private fesitivity that preceded tlie public opening of tho Surrey Gardens, London. “He said that he intended to make the shil ling concerts equal in every respect to the best Ancient Concerts—a Philharmonic class of concerts to be had in Europe—and contin ued : I would say—no —de programme shall be arl good—de classique—de lin moosike. No. Always from de time I give farst concerte in Paris—it vas ven I vas seventeen —I put in the programme de fine—classique—moosike. But always, allso, de frivole—de populaire moosike. Some things I have write good. But I write for de many—de frivole. De frivole make dem comb. Ven dey comb I give deni besser. I offair shinsherbreed, and when dey come I give dem r-r-rost beef. Emerson on Carlyle. Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his new work, en titled English Traits, thus describes Thomas Carlyle, whom he visited at a farm in the south of Scotland: “ I found the house amid desolate heathery hills, where the lonely scholar nourished his mighty heart. Carlyle was a man from his youth—au author who did not need to hide from his readers, and existed on that hill farm, as absolute a man of the world as if holding on his own terms what was best in London. He was tall aud gaunt, with a cliff like brow, self possessed, and bolding his extraordinary pow ers of conversation in easy command ; cling ing to his northern accent with evident relish; full of lively auecdote, and with a streaming humor which floated everything he looked upon. Story of a Highwayman. Not many years ago, an Irishman, whose fi nances did not keep pace with the demands made on his pockets, and whose scorn of hon est labor was emh"*ntly unfavorable to their being legitimately filled, borrowed an old pis | tol one day when poverty had driven him to | extremity, and took the highway most conve -1 nieut where he was like to find a heavy purse. A jolly old farmer came jogging along, aud lie put him down instantly us a party who pos- I sessed those requisites ho so much stood in , need of himself. Presenting his pistol, he commanded him to “stand and deliver.” The poor fellow forked over some 50 dollars, but finding Pat some what of a greenhorn, beg ged a five to take him home, a distance of about half a mile. The request was complied with, accompanied with the most patronizing air. Old Acres and Roods was a knowning one.— Eyeing the pistol, he asked Pat if 110 would sell it. “Is it to sell tho pistol ? Bowl, and it’s that same thing I’ll be after doin’. What ’ud you beastlier given for it ? ” “I’ll give you the five dollar bill for it.” “Done—ouc done’s enough between two gentlemen. Down with the dust, and here’s the tool for you.” The bargain was made by immediate trans , fer. The moment the farmer got the weapon ! he ordered Pat to shell out, and pointing tho , pistol, threatened to blow his brains out if 110 j refused. Pat looked at him a moment with a comical leer, and buttoning his breeches pockets, sung out— “ Blow away, onld boy; devil take the bit of powder's in it.” We believe the old man never told the last part of tho story but once, and that was by the purest accident. Accidental Killing. Tho Tuscaloosa (Ala,) Monitor, states : A day or two ago, two white females, in the vi cinity of Mr. Joiuisou s mills, on the plank 1 road, were playing with each other, aud hand ling a pistol, and we presume without n know ledge that it was loaded, or had a cap on it, which exploded, in the hands of Mrs. Gordon, 1 discharging the contents in the side of Miss Hitt, which resulted in her death this nioru- \ ing. 1 GENERAL ITEMS.
