COLUMBUS: Friday Morning, Kept. 12, 1800. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. Fever in Übulsttotii The Board of Health report three deaths in Charleston, from yellow fever, for the 24 hours ending Tuesday night 10 o’clock. A gentleman of our acquaintance in Ala bama, just from Charleston, informed us of the death, from yellow fever, while he was in Charleston, of a Medical Student from Ala bama, by the name of Watts. His Christian name he did not learn. Dorsev’B Dispatch. After a suspension of several months, Dor sey’s Dispatch has been revived by the verita ble “ propeller” himself. Dorsey sold the pa per last winter and rctiied from newspaper dum, and in a short time the paper went down. At the solicitation of many friends, who know well his powers of locomotion, he has again put the paper on its heels, nnd now declares it “perpetual.” It is located at the “centre of creation,” the pleasant and stirring town of Wetumpka, Ala. The Lato Cotton Crop. In the last Charleston Courier, we find care fully computed, a statement of the Cotton Crop for the commercial year ending on the Hist of August, 1850. The result is a crop of a,526,302 bales. The increase over the crop of the previous year is 588,746 bales, and over the years 1853-54, of 697,223. We will give the Courier’s compilation in a few days. ♦ The Van Burcn (Ark.) Intelligencer, of the 16th ult., says much excitement exists at the present time in the Cherokee Nation, in regard to the abolition views of the Board of Home Missions. The Missionaries in tho cmploy mer?'. of the Board may be yet requested to withdraw from the Board, or leave their pres ent field of labor. The next National Council will no doubt determine. Post Office Robbery— $216 Stolen. The Atlanta Republican learns from Cupt. Seago, of the firm of Seago & Lawrence, of Atlanta, just returned from Dudoville, Alabama, whitber he has been in search of the above amount, which was mailed to thorn on the first day of August, by John 0. Smith & Bro., in a registered letter. The letter not coming to hand, search was made for letter or thief, which turns out to be James A. Melton, depu ty postmaster at Dudeviile, who, when attack ed with strong proof of his guilt, owned the theft, paid over what he had —one hundred dollars—and the worthy postmaster paid the balance. So the money is recovered, nnd the thief, after pleading guilty, wus lodged in Dadcville jail to await his trial. The Gale in Handc.ph. The Cutbbert Reporter of the Gth inst. says the storm thro ghout the county, from the best information it can gather, has been very de structive to tho planters. The cotton crop, without a doubt, lias been cut off almost a third. Tho weather preceding the storm hav ing been very warm, caused the cotton to open rapidly, and all which was opened in the fields has been blown and beaten into the ground.— The cotton, generally, has been very much thrashed about, and lying in such a position as will cause a groat portion of the bolls, which are yet to open, to injure. Corn has been blown down to a considerable extent. The water courses are yet very high. The Crops in Adams County, Miss. The Natchez Free Trader of the Gth instant, says, from personal observation and from con versation with planters, we are compelled to say that the cotton crop in Adams county, bids fair to be very short. Since the storm in Au gust, the plant has shed so much that there has been scarce a boll made. This, with tho ravages of the Army Worm, bids fair to cut the crop off, from ono third to a half. We believe, howover, that we are not alone in this misfortune, for our exchanges as a gencal thing in every quarter, speak in very despond ing tones of the crops in their neighborhood. Mr. Fillmore. The Charleston Courier of the 28th ult., con tains a long argumentative and calm letter from a “ Southron,” now at the North, in which tho South is urged to support Mr. Fill more. The writer argues that Mr. F. is the only candidate that can be elected by the peo ple, an I regarding Fremont’s election as an impossibility, considers Mr. Fillmore’s pros pects with tho people and iu the House better than that of Mr. Buchanan. After bestowing tbo highest eulogiutu on his Administration whilst President, the writer enforces his claims not only as a national man, but with those constitutional sentiments which render him especially acceptable to the South. The wri ter having lately had a free intercourse with Mr. Fillmore, says: “ 1 have it from his own lips, nud that at a time when he had pa-sed from a successful ad ministration of the Notional Government to the retirement and privacy of private life, and when he was without a prospector even a wish for reuomination or restoration to the Presi dency, that his opinions had been revolution ized aud liis prejudices dissipated ou the sub ject ot slavery in the Southern ami South wes tern States; that he believed the so called freedom ot tho black and colored population 1 in the nouslavoholding States to be a mockery and a cheat, and that slavery was the best j condition of the African raco in this country, best both tor the black race and the white race, and that the Union could only be perpet uated by a faithful observanco of the constitu tional rights of tho South, and by non interfer ence with slavery ou the part of the non slnve- j holding States and of theGeueral Government; ! and his convictions were greatly strengthened by his Soutfc rn v.our, which brought him in contact with und made him an eye witness of the working of our domestic institution.” The wheat harvest of the United States this year is estimated at 160,000,000 bushels, a large surplus above cur domestic wants. The export trade the New York Journal of Com merce estimates at 40,000,000 bushels. Upon this estimate the export demand can bfilled without creating uny unusual excitement, but prices will not be likely to rule very low. OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Instructions to New Governor of Kansas. Secretary Marcy to Governor Geary. Department of State, 4 Washington, Aug. 20, ’SSG-. / F'r—The present condition of the Territory of Kansas renders your duties as Governor highly responsible and delicate. Iu the instruc tions heretofore communicated to your prede cessor, in February last; in the annual mes sage of the President to Congress of the 24th of the previous December, and in orders issued from the War Department, printed copies of which are herewith furnished, you will find the policy of the President fully presented. It is, first, to maintain order and quiet in the Terri tory of Kansas; and second, if disturbances occur therein, to bring to punishment the of fenders. Should the force which has been pro vided to attain these objects prove insufficient you will promptly make known the fact to the President, that he may take such measures in regard thereto as to him may seem to be de manded by the exigencies of the case. It is important that the President should be kept well informed as to the state of things in Kan sas, and that the source of his information should be such as to secure its accuracy. You are therefore directed by him to communicate constantly w'th tuis department. Such facts as it is deemed important to have early known here you will cause to he transmitted by tele graph, ns well as mail. The President indulges a hope that, by your energy, impartiality and discretion, the tran quility of the Territory will be restored, and persons aud property of our citizens therein protected. 1 um, sir, &c., W. L. MARCY. His Excellency John W. Geary, Governor of Kansas Territory. In a letter to the War Department, dated August 22, Gen. Smith speaks of tho exagger ations relative to tho contemplated attacks, hut says that “on the assurance of both the Governor and Major Sedgwick, that there are eight hundred armed men at ‘embled in Lawrence, who can be increased in twelve hours to twelve hundred, and that it is expec ted they would attack and destroy the capital of the Territory, Lecompton, 1 have oi acred Lieuteuant Johnston’s Second Cavalry to go there with all the troops at Fort Leavenworth, except a small company, and have ordered all the men from Fort Riley, except a small gar rison, to the same place. I have sent down to have all the troops, recruits and others, at Jef ferson barracks, to be sent here, and will send them, and any companies of the sixth regi ment that may arrive to reinforce the com mand on the Kansas, if necessary. A large force may prevent any violence—a small one might tempt to the commission of it.” He further says, “I enclose also a communi cation from an officer of the militia on the northern border of the Territory, showing how contradictory and inconsistent are the accounts spread over the country, for the party that Lane brought from lowa is on the northern border and on the Kansas at the same time. “Col. Sumner’s regiment cannot now mus ter four hundred men, including Capt. Stu art’s company, ou its way to Fort Laramie, and a detachment under Lieutenant Wheston, en route to Port Kearney with tho Sioux pris oners. Lieut, Cook’s six companies have a iit • tie more than one hundred horses. A letter from Gov. Shannon to Gen. Smith, dated Lecompton, says that he has just re turned from Lawrence, where he had been with the view of procuring the release of nine teen prisoners that were taken. He saw in that place at least 800 men, who manifested a fixod purpose to demolish this town, lie re marks that he knew they intended an attack, and that very soon. It would seem that the business of “whipping out,” as they term it, of the pro-slavery party, has been commenced. Under these circumstances he requests Gen. Smith to s-md from the fort all his disposable force. Major Gen. Smith, of the Kansas militia, under date of August 18, says to Gen. Smith: In addition to the extra herewith enclosed, 1 have received reliable information that a state of actual war ixists in Douglas county, and that in other parts of the Territory with in this division robberies and other flagrant violations of law are daily occurring by arm ed bodies of men from Northorn States. In tlie absence of all information from the Gov ernor of the Territory, I have taken the liber ty of exercising the authority in me vested in case of invasion, by ordering out the entire strength of my division, to rendezvous at va rious points, to receive further orders.” Gen. Smith, in his instructions for the offi cer in command of the detachment of the U. S. troops ordered to assemble in the neighbor hood of Lecompton, on tho requisition of tho Governor to repress insurrection, concludes as follows: Tho General begs and directs you to avoid, as long as possible, any appeal to arms. ’ se every endeavor in your power to bring those who are in opposition to the law to a sense of their error. Especially avoid “small” conflicts, and consider the sheiiuiug of a fel low citizen’s blood as the greatest evil that can happen, except tho ovei throw of law and right, which must end in civil war. But, when the necessity of the action and the employ ment of force docs unhappily arise, employ it at once, with all the power and vigor of your command, but continue it only until you have sdppressed the insurrection, and then inter fere to prevent any cruelty from others. The Governor of the territory should, if possible, take means to keep the prisoners arrested un der liis authority, ami such us may hereafter bo taken. Their custody embarrass the troops and diminishes their efficiency. Secretary Marcy to Gov, Geary. Department ok State, 1 Washington, Sept. 2, 1860. j Sir: Reliable information having reached the President, that armod and organized bod ies of men, avowedly in rebellion against tho territorial government, have concentrated in such numbers ns to require additional milita ry force for their dispersion, you w ill have the military of tho territory completely enrolled and organized, to the end that they may ou short notice be brought iuto the service of the United States. Upon the requisition of tho commander of tho Military Department in which Kansas is embraced, you will furnish by companies, or regiments, or brigades, or di visions, such number and composition of troops as from *iuie to time you may find, on his report to you, to be necessary for suppres sion of all combinations to resist tbo laws of the United States, too powerful :o bo i>up- I pressed by the civil authority, and for the niaintainance of public order and civil gov ernment iu the territories. W. L. MARCY. To liis Excellency. John W. Geary, Governor of the Territory of Kansas, Lecompton. Secretary Dnvis to Gen. Smith, under date of September 3d, says: “ Y'ou” dispatch of the 22d August, and enclosures, sufficiently exhibit the inadequacy of the force under your command to perform the duties which have beeu devolved upon you in the present unhappy condition of Kansas, by tbo orders a.*d instructions heretofore communicated.— To meet this exigency, the President has di- rected the Governor of the Territory to com plete the enrollment and organization of the militia, as you will find fully set forth in the enclosed copy of a letter, addressed him by the Secretary of State, aud the President has directed me to say to you, that you are author ized, from time to time, to make requisitions upon tho Governor for such militia force as you may require, to enable you promptly and successfully to execute your orders and sup press the insurrection against the government of the Territory of Kansas, and, under the circumstances heretofore set forth in your in structions to give tho requisite aid to the officers of the civil government, who may be obstruct ed in the due execution of the law. Should you not be able to derive, from the militia of Kansas, an adequate force for these purposes, such an additional number of malitia as may be necessary, will be drawn tram the States of Illinois and Kentucky, as shown in the requi sition, a copy of which is enclosed. The views contained in your instructions to the officers commanding the troops, under date of August 19th, are fully approved aud accord so entire ly with the purposes of the Executive, as to leave but little to add in relation to the course which it is desired you should pursue. The position of the insurgents, ns shown by your letter and its enclosures, is that of opeu rebel lion'agaihst the laws and the constitutional au thorities, with such manifestation of purpose to spread devastation over the hind as no long er justifies any further hesitation or indul gence. To you, as to every soldier whose habitual feeling is to protect the citizens of liis own country, and only to use his arms against the pubbe enemy, it cannot be otherwise than deeply painful to brought into conflict with any portion of his fellow countrymen; but patriotism and humanity alike require that re bellion should be promptly crushed, and the perpetration of the crimes which now disturb the peace and security of the good people of the Territory of Kansas, should te effectually clieckeu. You will, therefore, energetically employ all the means within your reach to rest-.o the supremacy of the law, always endeavoring to carry out the present purpose to prevent the unnecessary effusion of blood. In making your requisition for the militia force, you will be governed by existing organization of the army, and the laws made and provided in such cases. When companies, regiments, brigades, or divisions, are presented to be mustered into service of the United Siates, you will cause them, before they are received into the service to be minutely inspected by an officer of your command, appointed for the purpose.” Secretary Jefferson Davis, under date of September 2d, in the requisition to the Gov ernors of Illinois and Kentucky, says: “To suppress insurrectionary combination against the constituted government of the Territory of Kansas, and to enforce the duo execution of the laws, I am instructed by the President of the United States to make this, his requisition upon you, for two regiments of foot militia to be furnished to Major Gen. P. F. Smith, of the U. u. A., commanding the militia de partment of the West, whenever the exigen cies of the public service shall induce him ( call upon you for 3ftid troops, to be employed for the purposes indicated, within the limit of said Territory.” Insult to the Americas Vice Consul at An cona by an Austrian Officer. The American Vice Consul at Ancona, (says a London paper) had recently an unpleasant specimen of Austrain'amenities, of which lie has written a detailed statement to the Ameri can Embassy in Rome, and for which it is to ho trusted that the United States Government will demand proper satisfaction. Whilst din ing at the Europe Hotel, the Vice Consul cas ually observed to the Austrian Colonel, in the presence of sixteen other officers, that the zwanziger (with which base coin the Austrians have deluged the legations, taking away good silver and gold instead) contained an unusual quantity of alloy, whereupon the Colonel sprang up infuriated, and declared that he had insulted his Apostolic Majesty by such an as sertion, and ordered him to quit the room in stantly, not allowing him to make reply, aud further enjoining the waiters never to admit him again when the officers were present. Tlie Vice Consul, naturally disgusted at not being permitted even “to take his ease at an inn,” protested against such treatment, and lodged a complaint with the General, who condescended to suggest that the Vice Consel might writo a letter to the Colonel. The Vice Consel wrote the letter, sealed it with the American Eagle, wrote on the envelope “American Consulate,” and forwarded it forth with to the Colonel. The “Austrian eagle ap parently disowned its transatlantic relation, for the letter was soon after returned unopen ed, in the most ignomiuous manner, by one of the waiters of the hoiel. A Rich Prize for Mechanical Genius. Hon. Bronson Murray, in a letter to the Prairie Fanner, published at Chicago. Illinois, proposes to be one of a hundred subscribers to a fund of $60,000, to be awarded as a pre mium for a perfect steam plough, suited to farm use, and capable of performing the work at an expense in money greater than the aver age cost of performing the same work under the present system. Wealthy aud enterpris ing farmers could not expend a hundred dol lars more for their own good and that of the country than in making up the fund named. Fifty thousand dollars would be a sum suffi ciently remunerative in itse’fat the commence ment, to set hundreds of mechanical minds in operation, and the result would certainly be the production of an invention which would relieve the farmer of the immense labor now attending the preparation of his grounds, and enable him to cultivate much more extensive crops. Steam, applied to the plough, will ef fect for agriculture what it has done for the manufactures of the country—largely im crcase productions, at greatly reduced cost— whereby the whole Community is benefittod. Important to Mechanics. The Scientific American states that a broad field for geuius and industry will be open on and after the Oth of December next, on wffich day the patent for Woodworth’s Planing Ma chine expires, Congress having refused a fur ther extension. It further remarks: All inventors having improvements in plan ing machines, who have been dri’-ec to the caves bv *he Woodworth monopoly, may now come forth from their hiding-places. All me chanics who desire to enter into the lumber planing business may now make the nee . ary 1 arrangements. All machinists may now pre pare to take orders tor the construction of 1 Woodworth’s Planing Machines. All improve- j ments hitherto locked up because of alleged infringement, may now be put into operation, i The demand for lumber-working machinery will be very large in December next. Those who are earliest prepared to take advantage of the great opening will be likely to reap the richest harvest. In addition to ibis Congress has refused to extend the pateuts for McOor- 1 mick’s Grain Reaper, which expired in 1848; j Howard’s Rubber Patent in 1853; liarley’a j Iron Casting Patent, 1849; Nock's padlock Patent. 1C53, Messrs. Editors: Tbe following “pome” j by 0. W. Holmes, "has beeu “out of print” “for many a year.-” Its quaint conceits, and pathetic humor, will interest and amuse many , of your readers. I quote from memory. S. “ I saw him once before, As he passed by the iloor, And again The pavement stones resound. As lie totters o’er the ground With his cane. I knew him in his prime, Ere the pruning knife of Time Cut him down, Not a better man was found By the crier on his round Through the town.

And if ever I should ho The last leaf upon the tree, In the Spring, Let them smile, as I do now, At tlie poor forsaken bough Where I cling.” A Visit to Buchanan, W make the following extract from a letter written by resideru, of North Alabama, travel ing at the North, which we find in the Hunts ville Advocate: Philadelphia, Aug. .6, 1866. My Dear Sir: I spent_two hours with Bu ciinnan yesterday, at Wheatland. His grounds are beautifully and tastefully arranged, but his house is plain and unpretending in the ex trema—everything has the air of unostenta tious Democracy. But the man himself is the very impersonation of unaffected republican ism. I was never more agreeably disappoint ed in my life. He gave us a cordial and frank reception, and talked with us with the freedom of an old acquaintance. I really felt as if I had known him all my life. He said the issue involved in this election was the Union of these States as equals. That the South had sub mitted to the aggressions of the abolitionists with a patience that might well challenge the admiration of the world, and, considering the fire-eating propensities, was difficult to under stand. He ridiculed the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty, and said that the South had now, fo* the first time in the history of the country, obtained from the government the concession of the true principles, viz : that the people of a Territory had the right, when they came to form a State Constitution, to say whether they would or would not have slavery. That by this legislation Congress had admitted that the power was with thepeopleand notin Congress, and the only sensible rule was, that this could be exercised by the people only when they came to form a State Government, preparato ry to admission into the Union. I give you almost his very words. He said, if he should be elected, he felt satisfied the slavery ques tion would be finally settled, provided he could carry a portion of the New England States or the State of New York. In other words, if he were elected by anational vote, whatbe would do in the premises would have a national sup port, and the strength of Freesoilism, which is sectional, would be dispersed. The truth is, Mr. Buchanan is as sound on this question as was Mr. Calhoun, and the Northern Democ racy are better Southern men to day than many Democrats even at the South. Whatever they may have done heretofore, now they meet the question boldly, and defend the institution of slavery with a fearlessness that we might do well to imitate. They do not even apolo gize for it on the ground that it is recognized in the Constitution ; but they say it is right that God himself established it, nnd that it has the Bible for its foundation. If we do notsus tain these men in defence of our institutions, we cL serve eternal infamy. The Army.

The card of Dr. Per kins, in the Daily News, relative to a slander ous report, caused an individual, whose mme we have not learned, to send a challenge to Dr. P., which was promptly accepted—the weapons chosen being broad swords, and the time and place as above mentioned. The par ties, with their friends and a physician, ac cordingly repaired to a field not far from thy village on the point, and a desperate fight toot place, with heavy and keen edged swords, which resulted in the injury of both parties, Dr. P. received a deep and severe cut on liis right arm, and dealt bis antagonist a dreadful gash in the face and one arm, wounding him also in the abdomen. The injuries, we learn, are not of a serious nature; and as medical aid was immediately obtained, the two comba taats will probably be ready for another batik, if necessary, in a week or two, although it is quite probable they are well enough satisfied with the result of the bloody encounter. —Not folk Herald , Bth. The Interior of the Earth. In the course of a paper read before tlie Scientific Congress at Albany, by Dr. Winslow, he observed that the more the geological stu dent contemplated the sedimentary strata, ftp more he must become convinced that the solid crust of the planet is a yielding envelope of no great thickness, overlying a globe of fluid sub jeet to dynamical influences of such vast pow er, that mountains and continents undulate upon it as gelds of ice follow the tidal action of the sea. The causes and forces cf these vast phenomena were considered to be the ten sion -and dynamical agency of the molten anil fluid matter in a state of motion underneath Some think this motion corresponds with the tides, and a French savant attributes it to the action of the moon. Dr. Winslow attributed it to the action of the sun, and supported lib theory on the ground that these phenomena occur raoi'e frequently when that body is near est the earth, as in the winter, at which time more volcanic eruptions have occurred thau a! any other season. Aid for Kansas. At the meeting of the Kansas Association last evening, there was a number of new mein bers enrolled and a considerable amount added to tlie fund. We had the satisfaction of pav ing over the Treasurer the sum of fifty five dollars, remitted to us by a friend of the cause in South Newport, Mclntosh county, it being the amount contributed by the citizens of that place in aid of the Georgia colonists and tbe Southern cause in Kansas. This earnest nnJ timely manifestation of the right spirit on the part of our friends of South Newport was most gratifying to the Association, aud will, trust, be promptly imitated by other commu nities iu our section of the State.— Savann irf Hews.
