COLXJMBTJB: Thursday Morning, August )tS, 1850. LIROGUT CITY CIRCULATION. The Post Office ami Bank adjoining, are sadly in need of anew sett of steps. The present ones will hardly survive the tramp of next winter’s business, and are already dan gerous to a man who has’nt “ his eyeß about him”—which very many have not as they coine out reading their letters, or counting over their bills. Patriotism vs. Pelf. At the adjournment of the last session of the City Criminal Court, the Solicitor General found himself surrounded by numerous “gen tlemen of the jury,” who, after due hemming and hawing, delicately hinted thut they were ready to receipt for their pay. Imagine their consternation when told, that the Court made no pocket appeals to procure its jurors, but threw itself entirely upon the patriotism of citizens, willing and anxious to servo their country, and hold up the hands of justice, lu other words there was nothing coming to them! However ludicrous this may be, wo insist thut it is not right. Jurors in nil cases should be paid for their services. Our laws in regard to Jurors need overhauling; and the first amendment should be, a clause of exemption in favor of editors and doctors, who belong moro to the public than themselves, and can not suspend their operations without great de triment to the “common safety and the gene ral welfare,” of the country. Not a newspaper can be found south of Ma son and Dixon’s line, that does not exchange with the most rank abolition papers, whether published north, east or west.— Mobile Tribune. Os course if the above means any thing, it means that the Tribune exchanges with the kind of papers it describes. So far so good. But tho Tribune cannot speak for U3 as well as itself. A paper can bo found that does not exchange with an abolition, or free soil, or even doubtful paper. That paper is the Col umbus Sun, and there are many more like it in this respect, in tho South. +. Many fears being entertained for the safety of the Arabia which was leaking badly when she sailed, Mr. Canard publishes a note re ceived from Captain Judkins, before leaving Halifax. Mr. Cunard entertains no fears nnd states that the “pumping capacity” of the Ara bia is one thousand tons per hour. What’s Out P Much speculation prevailed yesterday, as to the meaning of the marks “C. F. C. 27,” which wero to be seeu in white chalk, on al most every cellar-door in town. Some talked solemnly of Dark Lanterns and Midnight Con claves; some, of ineendi-aries and-ism ; some of the late escape at the County Jail; and some, of the “Levellers,” anew Society in our city, as report goes, numbering six hundred members, and whose cardinal tenet is. “make thenabobs divide with the plebeians.” VVe are unskilled in riddles, but we venture the follow ing translation, the words in parenthesis being understood : Columbus Fillmore Club (meet to night) 27 (tli inst.) This may cr may not be a correct translation : it is certainly a plau siblo one. One door that we saw had an inde scribable something between a rose and a flow er pot, and not a Utile like the ancient laby rinth where the young and gay became entan gled without hope of extrication. From Kansas. In addition to the Kansas news in our tele graphic column, we have the following from a dispatch to a New York paper: Couriers are riding through tho River amd Border counties, enlisting forces and raisin'; supplies. Every where preparations are mak ing for war, and a most bloody conflict is anti cipated. Gen. Richardson has gone to Fort Leavenworth to ascertain if General Smith acts by authority, and if not he (Richardson) intends calling his militia into the field. The steamer Polar Star came down last night with six companies of volunteers ready for the field. Three companies of cavalry and one of artille ry intended leaviug Leavenworth City on the 19th. Kansas news for tho next sow weeks will be looked for with intense anxiety, and can scarce ly fail to be of the most sanguinary character. God defend the right! Jonoe Hooper fires a blank cartridge at us in the last Mail. At least such is the opinion of the Committee ot Conference, whom we callod to sit upon the matter. It would not be gallant to return him a bullet, and we therefore call on him to load up, and try it again, if he wants an answer to his fire. M. T. L. Conway who was receutly drowned while bathing, at Long Island, was a member of the firm of T. L. McKenna & Cos., Savan nah, and as a man much esteemed. Tho Columbia South Carolinian says that an epidemic has appeared among the chickens there, which can only be characterised as liver complaint; that it has known chickens to die of consumption and dropsy; but did not know their livers were ever enlarged except artifi cially by the manufacturers of pates Je foie gras —a celebrated delicacy in great request among epicures. Professor Nicoll affirms that no relation ex ists between the changes of the moon and the weather. The question, the Professor ob serves, has been tested and decided over and over again by the discussion of long aud relia ble meteorological tables, and adds pithily, ‘nor do l know any othor way of testing any such point.’ Thn New Orleans Delta of the 21st instant says : “Ip to this date only 84 bales of new cotton have been received here against 3811 to same time last year. On the 20th of last Au gust the steamer Princess arrived at tho Levea with 1950 bales of the new crop! ” It is stated that the Senor Escalante, Spanish Minister at Washington, has sent his resigna tion home, being unwilling to serve under U Donnell’s government, unless he shall be aided by the Progessisto party, of which he is a leading member. The Infinite I Sir James Hamilton, the celebrated Scotch metaphysician, recently deceased, had a fa vorite dogma for which he contended to tho day of his death, it was, that the finite mind of man could not conceive of the infinite, which word, to be brief, was synonymous in his opin ion, with inconceivable. He held that man could not conceive of space without limit—ab solutely boundless ; nor of time as never be ginning, nor ending. A writer in the last Southern Quarterly Review, combats the Ham iltonian theory, and with much ingenuity con tends that we can conceive of time as never having begun, and as never having an end.— We have not the facilities for giving all his ar guments, a portion of them requiring algebraic signs for their expression. Neither is it im portant that we should do so, as it is not so ; much our purpose to debato the question with ; him, as to advance another theory—acompro- \ raise between his theory and that of Harnil tons’, believing as wo do that each is partly right and partly wrong. One argumentof the j Reviewer upon which he lays much stress, we will notice, as it is germain to our own theory. Among other proofs cited by him in proof of our ability to conceive of the infinite, is the large number of words in daily use among men, by which they give expression to the idea of infinity ; such for instance, as eternal, for ever, immortal, everlusting, endless, &c., &c. —the list is long. Now we submit, that con sciously or not, these words are never used in a retrospective sense ; they look to the future, not the past. By immortal we mean never dying or decaying ; by eternal never-ending; by forever, always from this time forth ; end less, and everlasting it is plain only apply to the future. But we have no such word as beginning lest; neither any synonyme for it; neither any idea of it. All our synonymes of the infinite in time, have a future significance. In this sense we believe the idea of eternity to be readily conceivable ; but in this sense only. Our habitudes of thought all lead us to look upon everything as having had a beginning and as having had a maker, or, to coin a word, a caus er. Wo may attempt to throw off these habi tudes and take flight into the infinite past; but in vain. We attribute every effect to a cause known or unknown. Hence it is impos sible for us to conceive of a self-existant, un created being, however much we may believe that such a being does really exist. We may traverse the past for billions and billions and billions of centuries, till at last with drooping wing we alight at the feet, aud stand in the awful presenco of the great First Cause. But still the question recurs, who caused that cause?—which then—wo speak it reverently —ceases to be a cause, and becomes to the feeble mind of man, an effect. Nothing, we grant, is plainer to the pure Reason than that there must have been a great first cause, for all we see and know. But how that cause came into beii g, without a still precedent cause, is something that the human mind cannot conceive of. All men, but stark tools, believe it. But they believe without understanding, as a child believes the world to be rouud on the word of his father, and be fore it is explained to him how such a thing can be. Very differently do we look upon the infinite tuturo. This we hold to bo conceivable. Af ter a start has once been made, a beginning once had, man may grasp the idea of a forever. Certainly not the man whoso thoughts never rise above ephemera and moths ; but the man to whom the everlasting hills afford medita tion ; who can lift his gaze to the lofty moun tains covered with eternal snows. Man is sur rounded with a variety of objects each having its allotted term of existence. Taking the longest, he has but to multiply, when his mind begins to expand, and leaping forward with mighty bounds he comes at length to conceive the weight and meaning of the word eternity. Let us take for instance, tho most imperisha blo substance in nature —the diamond. Let it be excluded from all abrading influences, even from the air itself; we can conceive that under such conditions a diamond would exist for billions of ages. But granted for argu ment’s sake that it must perish at last—its light must be dimmed, its symmetry bo broken, its value bo destroyed by the law of decay. We have only to take the ages of its existence, and double them ; again double that product; again double the last product, and so on, aud on, until at last, a glimpse of the eternal breaks upon us. Wo soon reach a point where the horizon lifts itself, and no longer bars the view; where all points for comparisons vanish, aud the mind reels aud is lost in the sublimity of its conception. So to lose one’s self while looking into futurity, is to conceive of eterni ty. We are therefore of opinion that man’s ability to conceive of infinity in time, depends upon whether ho thinks of an infinite past or an infinite future. If past, we soon reach a stopping place ; if future, we nover reach it; and uovor to reach it, and to realize that we caunot reach it, is to conceive of time without end—eternity—the Infinite. Whether or not the distinction we have drawn, has ever been made in books, we are not deeply read enough to know. But we are sure that such distinction may be found in the minds of the great mass of mankind. The New Orleans Picayune has ordered one of Hoe’s four Cylinder fast presses, which, when completed nnd in operation, will be the first South of Baltimore. On the 12th inst., the Grand Jury of Sbinn ston, Virginia, found a true bill against tho Postmaster of that city for circulating, by de livery to subscribers, copies of the New York Tribune. A Mr. George Slocuin preferred the charge nnd made affidavit that the Tribune was an abolition document. The American State Council of Kentucky, have abolished the secresy feature, aud all rit uals of the order, endorsed Fillmore, and ex pressed the opinion that he will carry Ken tucky. H. L. Higley, Esq., for many years paying teller in the Bank of Mobile, and recently its Cashier, died in that city on Wednesday night last. It is said that there are two brothers in Pike county, Ala., who married sisters, and each have twelve boy children; the whole twenty eight go it strong for Old Buck. If this be true, and Old Buck is elected, he ought to know where to find two timber inspectors and two post mistresses in “the Alabam.” The New Zealanders, loug before any white man went among them had the tradition of the “ Man in the Moon,” which nurses nowadays tell for the amusement of children. Their story is as follows ; A man named Celano ouce happened to be thirsty; and coming near a well by moonlight, he intended to drink ; but a cloud coming over the moon prevented him. He then cursed the moon, because it refused to give him its light; but upon this the moon came down aud took him forcibly, together with a tree on which he had laid hold, and there he is now seen, continued the Zealander, with the tree, just as he was taken up. Spurious coin, resembling in size and ap pearance S2J gold pieces, are in circulation at Washington, says the Star. They have on one side the American Eagle, resembling that on the quarter eagle, and ou the other the head of Washington. Information has beei received at the De partment of State at Washington, from the United Ssates Council at Gorkeuburg, of the death of Levi Ramsay, in the hospital at that place. Yellow Fever in Charleston. The Board of Health report one death for the twenty-four hours ending Monday night, 10 o’clock. Major Spullock, for the past three years Auditor of the State Road, has been appointed Superintendant vice Major Cooper, resigned. Mr. Gaulding, editor of one of the Griffin pa pers, has been appointed Auditor under Major Spullock. The “fall ” fights seem to have set in rathaj earlier than usual this season. There were two other lights, on Tuesday, which occurred too late to be chronicled in our paper of yester day. They were not very serious however, we therefore give them the go-by. Florence Nightingale. This angel woman, whose noble nature and self sacrificing humanities have shed such lus tre on her sex and country, lias returned from the scene of her labors, and, with the unob trusive modesty which is the beautiful accom paniment of genuine virtue, is at her father’s country seat in Hampshire, discharging all those duties which belong to the daughter of an English squire. At evening she and her only sister, in every way worthy to be so, may be seen, in simple straw hats, wending their way through those pleasant lanes which make Hampshire beautiful, carrying to the cottage of some poor or sick peasant both bodily and mental comfort. As they pass, the laborers always lean upon their spades to send a bless ing after the “ dear, sweet ladies;” and if the prayers of the poor can make smooth the path to Heaven, their passage there will be swift indeed. Mr. Nightingale, who is one of the leading Unitarians of England, is univer sally respected for his noble character as an English gentleman, of which lie is the highest and purest type.—English Paper. Kansas Emigrants. A friend tells us that he met at Cliattanoo ga, Tenn., a few days since (the 22d inst.) Messrs. Browder, Clayton and Johnson, with a party of about 100 emigrants for Kansas.— In the party were an old gentleman with liis wife and three daughters. There were other women and children in the crowd. It is worthy of note that the West Point and Georgia Railroad passed these emigrants free; the Nashville road charged them only half price ; the LaGrango and Atlanta road made no reduction. — Mont. Mail. Still Dispensing. Our liberal souled fellow citizen, who pre sides over Dame Fortune’s Lucky Lottery of fice, up town, has again been “ caught in the very act” of putting a pocket full of gold into the hands of one of his customers ! The capi tal prize of $15,000 of Class P., Aug. 15th, was drawn by a gentleman of Charleston, on Whole Ticket No. 6801. This is the way Win ter attracts attention to his Southern Lottery on the Havana plan, which draws in this city on the 15th of every month. Some poor man is sure, monthly, to be supplied by him, with the tin, in sufficient quantity to make him com fortable for life. — Georgia Citizen. Sumner in Pennsylvania. There lias been some excitement produced in Blair, Cambria, aud other central counties of this State, by a remark of Charles Sumner, that Pennsylvanians were white slaves. Mr. Sumner alleges that his remark was that John Randolph said so. But it seems that ho quot ed the remark approvingly. The gentlemen to whom he said it hadculled on him with very friendly feelings. But some of them at least left very much exasperated. Their patriotism and self respect, as children of the Keystone State, were outraged at such an uncalled for and insulting reproach. —PhiL Argus, 22d. ♦ From the Charleston Mercury. Messrs. Editors : A few days ago, there ap peared in the columns of a Southern paper, an extract from a letter, to the effect that out of the three hundred emigrants taken by me to Kansas, all had returned except about fifty. If, as we are bound to suppose, the writer was a friend to the common cause aud desir ous of promoting it. he was certainly indis creet in communicating facts so well calcula ted to dishearten our friends and prejudice that cause. And, in tL_t event, his informa tion possibly may be as much at fault as his judgment. When we reached the Territory, iu the lat ter part of last April, my company was dis banded, and dispersed ail over the Territory, wherever they chose to go. Some two weeks afterwards, when the Lawrence troubles broke out, a part of my emigrants reassembled in the Marshal’s posse. After these difficulties were over, I again disbanded and dispersed them as before. With the exception of some half dozen, that I was told had returned, my information iu re spect to them is, that they still remain in the Territory. It is true, that some on account of business being interrupted in the Territory, aud the season being too far advanced to se lect and plant claims, took temporary employ ment in the border couuties of Missouri, and perhaps some in the Santa Fe trade; all, how ever, still regarding the Territory as theirplace of residence. I do not believe that auy one possesses any truer or more definite information of their whereabouts than I have stated. Respectfully, &c., J. BUFORD. White Sulphur Springs, Aug. 18, 1856.

The Havre Markets. —The Havre quota tions of tho 12th inst. were: Orleans tres or dinaire, 98. The news is unimportant and uninteresting. The difficulties about the Isle of Serpents have been greatly overstated. Spain continues qui et. The prospects of crops in England give a full average. The Extra Session. Washington, August 25.—Senator Weller gave notice, in due form, of his intention to offer a bill annulling all the laws of the Kan sas Legislature, as in the eighteenth section of the “Pacification bill.” Both Houses adjourned without business, af ter the customary resolutions of respect to the memory of Mr. Meacham, Representative from Vermont, whose decease was announced. The Kansas Conflicts. Columbia, August 25.—Our advices from St. Louis, Mo., are to the 23d instant, and re port that the late dispatches from Kansas have produced great excitement in all the towns of Missouri. At Boonville measures were in stantly taken, and the sum of $5,000 prompt ly realized to forward volunteers in aid of Gov ernor Shannon, and in support of the laws.— The same spirit prevails through the border counties so far as heard from, and many citi zens of discretion and substance have offered their services to proceed to Kansas and remain until law and order are restored. Tidings of new conflicts are hourly expected. Additional from Kansas. Columbia, S. C., August 25.—Letters of the 17th inst. from Lawrence, K. TANARUS., state that the fight of the 16th took place near Lecomp ton, and not in or against that town. Col. Ti tus and his command were taken prisoners and he badly wounded. The Free Soilers had ten wounded and one mortally. The proposed at tack on Lecompton was prevented by the U. S. Dragcons. Gov. Shannon had gone to Lawrence and de manded release of prisoners taken by the Free Soilers. After a conference it was agreed to exchange prisoners and to disperse all armed settlements. Still Later. St. Louis, Aug. 24.— Columbia, Aug. 25. Reliable accounts from Kansas to the 20th in stant, assure us that Lecompton has not been yet attacked, although there was expectation of an attack by a force of one thousand men. under Lane. The Free State men had fortified Lawrence iu case a retreat shall become neces sary. A call appears in this city, numerously sign by our most influential citizens, for a meeting to consider Kansas affairs, on Monday. Four hundred volunteers have already gone from Jackson county, and large companies are forming in other counties- Robinson and Browiu are still in custody of the Territorial authorities, and Gen. Persifer F. Smith has ordered all the available strength of his command to be ready for instant service. New York, August 25 —The Cotton mardet has closed dull, and with no features or trans actions otherwise notable. New Orleans Markets. New Orleans, August 25.—The stock of Cotton here has been reduced to 800 bales, and holders claim ruling rates more confidently.— In this state we have therefore no transactions of amount to be noted. Sugar 9 cts. Freights. For Colton to Liverpool the rate is 13-32d. An Uncommon Occurrence. The Albany Knickerbocker says: “Avery singular affair occurred in the court of general sessions at the last term. A woman was brought up and arraigned before her own brother, who was ou the bench, on the charge of keeping a house of prostitution. The broth er sat motionless and pale as marble, but stern aud inflexible as the Roman father who passed the sentence of death on his own son. The woman, although old in crime and lost to shame, was so overcome by the scene that on reaching her seat, she wept burning tears. It was a scene that is rarely witnessed, and we hope never to see the like again.” Narrow Escape. At a late meeting of the Natural History Society, a rattlesnake found in Milton, Mass., and supposed at the time to have been killed, was presented to the Society. This rattlesnake having been immersed in alcohol for half an hour or more, and generally supposed to be dead, was taken from the bottle, and an exam ination of the fangs and other organs about the mouth was made by the Curator of Herpetolo gy and others. Upon being replaced in the jar of alcohol, the reptile came to life and struggled violently, convincing the operators that they had exposed themselves to no small amount of danger in tiieir manipulations.— Boston Trav., Aug. 19. A Manufacturer’s Opinion. Mr. W. A. Crocker, ftp intelligent manufac turer of Massachusetts, iu a recent letter, pre sents to the sectionalists of the North a prac tical view of what would he the effect of dis union, commercially aud pecuniarily, upon that section of country. He tells them that “a dissolution of the Union would depreciate the value of the properly of the New England States fifty cents on the dollar. The wheels of the manufactories would be stopped, the implements of the mechanic would be put by, the ships decay at the decaying wharves, and the grass spring up in the streets of tho towns and cities. These would be the material consequences. The moral consequences may be summed up in a single line. The destruc tion of the world’s last hope.” It is said Lafayette sent for a hogshead o earth from Bunker Hill, to be placed over his body at his interment. The selectmen of Bos ton received the application from his agent. It was taken from the spot where Warren fell, accompanied by a certificate that it was “gen uine,” signed by three of the oldest veterans of the town, who knew the locality. Extensive Forgeries in Franne. A lelter dated Paris, August 4th, say*. “The alarming discovery has just been in, that an immense number of forged notes of ,i - Bauk of France, amounting, it is supposed the value of many millions francs in eircu: tion. The forgeries are so ingeniously ex tv ted that several of the most experienced cler in the bank were unable to detect them, was only after a bundle of forged notes t been minutely scrutinized by several p erßc , that the minute difference between the f a ;. and genuine paper was detected.
