COLUMBUS: Wednesday Morning, Sept. 17, 1850. LARGEST CITY circulation. Fever in Charleston. The Board of Health report four deaths from yellow fever for the last 48 hours, end ing 10 o’clock Sunday night. The steps of the Baptist Church at Marion, Ala., being in rather a decoyed condition, suddenly fell about 10 feet on Sunday before last, while the congregation were passing out. Mr. David Houze had an arm fractured, and Beveral others received slight bruises. Persons parsing to and from our post office, Will do Well to bear this in mind. Health of Montgomery. The Advertiser of yesterday morning says : “ It. is indeed gratifying to us to he able to chronicle the fact of the continued good health of our city. By reference to the Sexton's Re port in another column, it will be seen that there has been only one death within the cor porate limits of the city for the last week. The weather is fine. The nights and morn ings are rather cool, and the mid-day sun rather oppressive, but on the whole, it is pleasant and extremely healthy. - - Stolen Goods Recovered. Through information derived from negroes, a negro man named Lewis, the property of Mrs. Nancy Herald, of Apalachicola, was ap prehended in this city by Deputy Marshal Robinson, on Monday evening, as one sup posed to know something of the whereabouts of the Jewelry taken front the store of Mr. Vnnderburg on the night of the 29th nit. On capturing him, lie was searched and a large ring found in his pocket book, which he said had been given him by Mr. James L. Willis. He was taken to Jail and the ring recognized by Air. Vnnderburg as his property. A war rant was then taken out by Mr. Vnnderburg > search the house of Mr. Willis. On going into tlie house, a Miss Frances Brigmun was found standing by the counter with a large ring on her finger, which was recognized and taken off by Marshal Robinson, who then proceeded to tlie dr:: —er described by Lewis as containing the stolen goods, and found them. He arrested Willis and Miss Briginau and took them before Justice Quin, by whom they were committed to Jail to await a fur ther hearing. Being satisfied that Lewis had not told all lie knew about the matter, preparations were made for drawing the whole truth out of him, which soon brought him to reveal that James I’ilkington, on Broad street, had the balance of the stolen jewelry. A warrant was then taken out by Air. Vnndenburg, at a late hour on Monday night, search made, and the pro perty found in a trunk in Pilkington’s house. Among the articles of Mr. Vandenburg, was found a gold guard-chain, which Mrs. l’ilking ton claimed to be luirs, but which turned out. to be tiie property of Mr. Halle, a merchant next door to i’ilkington, whose house was en tered on the night of the late fire, and this chain and two hundred dollars taken. Mr. and Airs. I’ilkington were also committed for a further heaving. Uillis had a hearing yesterday before Jus tices Quin and Walker, and was held to bail in tiie sum of sl-00 for his appearance at the next term of the Superior fourt, in default of which, he went to jail. Tlc other parties were to have hud a hear ing yesterday evening. We had not heard the result when our paper was closed. - ♦ A Distinguished Visitor. The Apalachcola Commercial Advertiser of the 10th inst. says: “We ore pleased to record the arrival in our city of Col. Winchester, formerly of Winchester, Virginia, who so no bly and gallantly perilled his own life in sa ving that of Airs. Simmons, her two infant children and servant, when wrecked on the unfortunate steamship Florida, on the night of the JOtli ult. The Col. leaves to-uay for Tampa Bay. We know one whose grateful prayers will ever follow him—f< >r ourselves, we wish him a long and happy life.” Hands Withdrawn. The Acting Commissioner of the General Land Office, lias given notice of the withdraw al front sale, of the public lands on the roads ot the different Rail Roads in Florida, until the Rail Road companies, to which donations were granted by Congress, shall have made their selection of alternate sections. It is un derstood that the location of rail roads in Flor ida will bring into use large bodies of valua ble pine timber. About fifty members have been added to the Churches in Cassville. (ia., during the recent revival in that place. Dr. Stephen Ropnlje, Fleet Surgeon of the Home Squadron, died suddenly in New York, on the 11th instant. ♦- Homicide in Auburn Air. John Bales was shot by a man of the name of Lampkin, last Thursday, at Auburn, Macon county, and died on Friday night from the effects of the wound. He was shot through mistake for his brother. It appears •hat Lumpkin had been apprehended for some misdemeanor, and there being no secure place in which to confine hint, Mr. George Bates, brother of ilie deceased, was placed as a guard oyer him. Somo time during the night, Laiup kin turned on George, drew a pistol and threatened his life it he intertered to prevent Ids escape. George, in his turn, drew a pis tol, when Lampkin backed down, but vowed that he would lie revenged on George when liberated. The next day he was bailed by some of his frieuds, and, true to his word, lie secreted himself liehind a door near tl • shop occupied by the Messrs, Bates, and com menced firing on George, the latter returning the lire. The deceased, attracted by the firing, s'epped out of his shop on the side-walk, when he received the fatal shot, the ball entering ihe lower part of the stomach and passing out at the back, l’he murderer was arrested, again succeeded in giving bail, and went his bloody way. These are the circumstances, as related to us. Air. John Bates formerly of our city, was an Englishman by birth, and was a kinilbeart eu, inoffensive man. His many frieuds here deplore his untimely end. — Montgomery Adv. From Kansas. The St. Louis Republican has the following account of the late affair at Ossawattomie in a letter dated, “Gamp at Indian Creek, .Sep tember 2.” On Saturday, the 23d of August, we left our camp at Westport and took up our line of march for New Santa Fc, at which place vve arrived the same day. We found about 400 pro-slavery men encamped. On the 241 hwe formed a regiment, and selected Col. I*. 11. Rosser, of Virginia, as temporary command er-in-chief. On tiie 24tli our forces had in creased to I,IAO rank and file. We then went into a permanent organization, and selected Atchison as Afajor General. Reid as Brigadier General, Brown as General of the Ist, and Rosser of the 2d regiment, and gave the name of our forces “the Army of Law and Order of Kansas Territory.” On the 26th wo took lip a line of inarch for Ossawattomie, and en camped that night at Cedar Creek. On the 27th we resumed our march and encamped at Bull Creek. On the evening of the 28th, Gen. Reid selected 250 men and one piece of artillery and moved on to attack Ossawutomie. On the morning of the 20th he arrived near that place and was attacked by 200 abolition ists, under the command of the notorious John Brown, who commenced tiring upon Hied from a thick chappnrel four hundred yards off. General Hied then formed his men in an open prairie, and Major Bell fired upon the abolitionists witli the artillery loaded with grape. General ltcid then made a successful eharge upon them, killingol and took 7 pris oners. Amongst the killed was Frederick Brown. The notorious John Brown was also killed by a pro-slavery man named White. smongthe prisoners taken is the son of O. C. Brown, of Lawrence notoriety ; he will be hu manely treated, and set at liberty when the war is over. The other prisoners taken were shipped on the l’olar Star, and a pledge ex acted of them never to return again to Kan sas. The pro-slavery party had five wounded, none believed to be dangerously. Captain Boyce received a wound in the left wrist; Frank Gordon in the left shoulder; Jackson in the month; John Gordon in the thigh, and Parker in the leg. The pro-slavery men con trary to the orders of Gen. Ried, burnt near ly all the houses in Ossawattomie. They took some forty head of cattle, apart of them being the same that Brown and liis parly had stolen from Ihe Georgia Colony, six horses, two wagons and one carriage. On the same day Capt. Bays, with forty men attacked the house of the notorious Ottawa Jones, burnt his house and killed two abolitionists. Jones lied to the corn field, was shot at by Hays ami is believed to be dead. About 6 I’. M., tiie 29th, the abolitionists, numbering 250 men. came within about three quarters <fa mile of our camp, and attempted to surprise us, they no doubt thinking our forces had so been much weakened by Reid’s march on Ossawattomie, that he would retreat and leave our baggage; but not. so; the drum beat, and soon every man in the camp was ready for battle. Seeing that we were ready to meet them, they fled. The most of the men were in favor of pursuing them, but were prevented from doing so by Gen. Atchi son. On the morning of the 30th, a council com posed of the field officers and captains of the different companies was held, and by a large majority of those in council it was decided to fall back on Indian Creek until we would get more provisions and ammunition, and to en able the soldiers composing the army to be come better drilled and disciplined. On the 31st the army took up the line of march and encamped at Cedar Greek for the night. On the Ist September Gen. Atchison resigned his commission, and Gen. Reid was selected in his stead. Our army, which had consisted of 1,200, had now been reduced to half that amount, are now stationed at Indian Creek, and from tiie last information that 1 could get the pro slavery party only number about 1,600 men in the Territory, of which number six hun dred are encaippeil at Indian Creek, and 1,000 on the north sido of Kansas river, near Le compton. The pro-slavery party have eight pieces of artillery and plenty of horses for cavalry, but they need an efficient regiment of infantry. The abolition forces in the territory do not exceed 1,200 men; they are well drilled, and each of them is armed with a Beecher Bible and Biddings Prayer Book. They have two pieces of artillery—one they took at Frank lin, and the other they got at Lecompton in exchange for brave Titus, Donaldson and others. Kansas and the General Government-The Disturbance to be Put Down. The Washington Star states that positive instructions have gone to Kansas which will, it is believed, lead to such measures on the part of the Government’s officers, military and civil, as will promptly put down the civil war there. It further adds: “It is deeply to be regretted that General permitted Lane to enter the Territory at the head of an army of brigands, with arms in hand, and thus to create the necessi ty for the counter precipitation of an army from Alissoui'i for their dispersion and pun ishment. “ The Government here have a duty to do iu the premises which, we are satisfied, will tie done at all hazards. The fact that Gen. Smith failed to take the responsibility of driv ing Lane and his men out of the Territory ere they hud penetrated one of their hundreds of recent murders, robberies, and arsons, can form no legitimate reason why the General Government should fail to prevent the Missou rians from taking their revenge. We have no doubt that Lane and every man of his force who can be arrested will be duly arrest ed by the troops of the United States, but none lint troops called into service by the General Government will be permitted to par ticipate in arresting them. Any others found in arms in the Territory, under whatever pretence, will lie regarded ns participants iu the existing civil war which it is the im perative duty of the President of the United States to put down at all hazards, and will be dealt with accordingly. Such, in few words, we believe to be the substance of tiie instruc tions said to have been forwarded to General Smith and Gov. Geary. Tiie comparison between American and Fast India Cotton shows a difference of one hundred per cent, in favor of the former. The cotton of the Eastjlndies contains twen ty five per cent. Os waste, while that of the United States contains only twelve and a-half percent. The fibre also of the latter excels that of the former. The Nashville Patriot receives from a gen tleman who has recently passed through much of the interior of Kentucky, a very discour aging account of the condition of the crops in the regions through which lie lias passed. In Aliddle Tennessee cotton and corn are re presented as looking very well since the late rains. The Best Time on Record. 2:241 in Harness. —Flora Temple and Ta cony met again on Tuesday last to contend tor a purse of $’1000; mile heats, Flora in harness, Tacony under the saddle. The odds being from 4 to 6 to 1 on the mare, but littlo inter est seemed to be felt by the mass of the lovers of the trotting turf, as but four or live hundred were present to witness this wonderful exhi bition of speed. Both horses appeared re markably well, on entering the course, but the friends of Flora lost none of their confidence, and made repeated offers of 100 to 3( on their favorite. Flora Temple won the inside position, and at the second attempt went off with the lead. fcjJie opened a gap of three or four lengths on the upper turn, and went to the quarter pole in thirty seven seconds, with all that advan tage. On the back stretch Tacony gained on her, and was closing very rapidly on her as they reached the half mile post —time t:l3. The mare now increased her speed, and car ried Tacony to a break, from which lie did not recover readily. Hiram, perceiving the distance between himself and Tacony, now tried to shut him out entirely, and the pace of Flora became truly astonishing, she reaching home from the half mile pole in one minute and eleven and a half seconds, making the heat.in 2:241 1 After Tacony recovered from his first break, lie ina' a gallant aLtenipt to catch t lie marc, which resulted in another bad break on the home stretch, from which he could not recover in time to save liis distance.

A correspondent of the Charleston Courier, writing from Saratoga tells the following amus ing anecdote: At the great ball of the season, which came off at the United States Hotel a few nights since, a millionaire widow of Boston, with Southern blood in her veins, and with several responsibilities at home, figured with, some say SIO,OOO, and others $25,000 worth of jew elry on her richly attired person. Free and easy in her manners, and accustomed to accost any gentleman she pleases, whether introduced or not, and seeing one of the mas culine gender of very elegant appearance near her, with looks expressive of admiration of either herself or her costly apparal, she said to him, “Don’t you admire this brooch?” pointing to the rich jewel which adorned her bust. “ Yes,” he replied, “ I admire it much, and still more the wearer.” “Don’t you think,” said she, “ that I am an adventurous person, to travel, unattended as I am, with $25,000 in jewels about my person, or in rny possession ?” The gentleman assented, and she added, “I’ll tell you how 1 manage it. When Igo to bed, at night, I put dear old dead D -n's boots outside of my chamber door, and they protect me from robbery or intru sion.” What Will the South Do P The following is an extract from a letter by the Hon. John Slidell, of Louisiana, which lately appeared in the Washington Union: “Should Fremont be elected, I shall be sat isfied that a majority of Ihe people of the free States entertain towards us feelings that ren der the idea ot living with them on terms of equality hopeless. The issue presented by his nomination, the antecedents of those who brought him forward, tin* opinion ■ and pur poses avowed by every speaker at every meet ing of liis party, are such that no Southern man would dare to incur the infamy and odi um of accepting office tinder him. The whole machiuey of government in the Southern States must be stopped, unless Northern men can be lound bold enough to come among us and undertake the collection of the reven ue, and the execution of the laws of gov ernment from which we shall be practically excluded. Each aggression on our rights, if submitted to, will lead to new and more aggravated attacks, and we shall, after a protracted struggle, at last be obliged to choose between the alternatives of unqual ified vassalage or separation. But in such a struggle, not only will the proud spirit that now animates us have been impair ed, but we will have lost allies that an earlier, open resistance would have rallied to our sup port. Ido not hesitate to declare that if Fre mont be elected, the Union cannot and ought not to he preserved. What particular course should he pursued, I am not now prepared to say. In so fearful a contingency, I should be unwilling to act without some definite mani festation of the will of my State. This can only be given through the legislature, or, if time allowed, by a convention of the people, called by the legislature. Whatever be the mandate of Louisiana, 1 shall be prepared to carry it. out in letter and iu spirit.” JOHN SLIDELL. A Modest Bequest. The abolitionists refuse to understand how we believe in Southern society as the only form of society which can exist in the form of a republic; but perhaps if the principle is out of their comprehension, they can make a consideration of the dollars and cents. The value of slave property at the South, then, is about $2,00(1,000,000; Ihe estimated value of all other taxable property $1,250,000,000; the value of the annual products of slave la bor $500,000,000; making a total of about $4,2-)0,000,000. It is very modest of our Northern friends to request us to give up all our right and title to this amount of property, but their veneration for the almighty dollars ought to teach them that we shall hesitate to comply with the request.— CharlestonStu.idard, Effect of Politics ,u the Pulpit. It is stated that the vestry of the Church of the Epiphany, in. Philadelphia, of which the Rev. Dudley Tyngis rector, held a meeting on the evening of the 2d inst., and requested him to resign the pastorship, which he refused to do, at the same time expressing a wish to take the vote of the congregation on the question, believing that lie Would be sustained by a ma jority. It is said that not more than fifty per sons attended the church on Sunday lust, and those lew were principally Indies. The Doc tor, it will he recollected, lias recently indulg ed himself in expressing liis political predilec tions in the pulpit. — Another Spy Caught. The Lexington (Va.) Star of the 11th inst. states that for some time one Daniel Price has been hanging about that place, telling negroes fortune, and giviug them incendiary advice. On Tuesday night week, several young men of the place treated liis face to a coat of varnish and lain]) black, and packing up his posses sions. ordered him to leave town, which he did. The Star adds that lie was a resident ot’ Richmond Inst winter. Air. and Mrs. Barney Williams are still drawing full houses at the Adelphi. London. Th ‘re was a severe frost in Rochester. New York, mi the 9th instant. Munchausania.l During the period our town was isolated by the freshets, &c., when no mails could arrive or depart in any direction, which was the case on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, some of our citizens spent their time in diluting upon the “big rain,” and various ef fects were traced to the same cause. One of ouy citizens relates that lie saw a wash pot, eighteen inches deep, which on Sun day night was empty,’ and Monday morning it was full and running <n*t, (after the rain ceased.) Another says that the same- oecuiied in an other place’, and that there was a right good string of sun perch in the pot in the morn ing. Some from the country say that they could paddle a canoe up and down hill on the plank road, (rather uphill work to believe this.) One from Jones’ Creek affirms that after the Creek went down, negroes in collecting stock, had to climb trees and pick sheep and hogs out of their forks, and in so doing found fish in great numbers stuck bn thorns of bamboo briars. .Surely the age lias returned, where he says, in liis second otic, ‘ ; L<wt Pyrrho should with plaintive cries, lie hold the monsters of the deep arise, When to the mountain summit Proteus drove Ills sv.l-l>orn herd, on ’ where the woodland doiv Late perched, Ids wonted sent, the portly brood Untangled hung, upon the topmost wood, And every timorous native of the plain, High floating, swam amid the boundless main.” We heard of one man mending his chimney with “Coolers” which the high water left in his yard; he had no bricks, therefore used these. An old temperance friend of ours told us privately that, there was a barrel in his yard which was perfectly empty before the rain, but on Sunday night it rained in the bung hole and filled the barrel, and that the spig got was out all the while. Someone told us that the Depot was over flowed on Saturday evening, and the track came near washing away, but we don’t believe it. Someone at dinner informed us there were thirteen bridges washed away between here and Wadesboro.’ All the bark is rained off the east-side of the pine trees in this vicinity, and unheard of things have happened since the rain, but we have not room for more, but just give these lew instances as specimens of the conversa tional powers of some persons. One or two of the above we do not believe, for ‘'plus val et oculatus testis unus quam auriti decern.”—Pee Dee Herald. Melancholy Accident. We regret to record the death of Dr. James K. Gilder, of this district, who was acciden tally shot on Saturday the 6th inst. The de ceased was hunting on Saturday in company Avith Mr. Noah Martin, Air. George Neel, and perhaps others.

One of the Public Spirited. “Jenkins asked me this morning to help him in getting up contributions for the widows of the United Grand Stovepipe Association,” quoth Spoodlesticks very magnificently to his friend Bunkles. . “Did you give assent,” answered Bunkles, immediately. “Give a cent!” replied Spoodlestick, indig nantly. “Sir—l givctivelve aud half of ’em. Yes—sir-ree.” And SpoodlesticK gathered up his coat tail in a halo of fine cut glory, and went forth. Lining War Vessels. Lieut. Walton, of the British Navy, lias pre pared a mixture of saw dust and caoutchouc, under the name of kam-pluticon, as a lining for the interior of war vessels. The inventor claims that, from its elasticity, it will imme diately collapse when penetrated by a ball, and thus prevent the entrance of water. It also ucadens cone sion, and by its buoyancy Avill keep a vessel afloat though it should be riddled with shot. — —. Marriage iu the Cars. A couple too much in a hurry to have the hymeneal knot tied to wait for the cud of their journey, were married iu the cars on the Con necticut River Railroad, on Wednesday. We did not learn the names of the parties. The gentleman was from Keene, New Hampshire, and the bride from our neighboring town of Chicopee. The ceremony was performed by a Methodist minister.

Instructions to the Governor of Kansas. Washington, Sept. 12.—A telegraphic di patch to the following effect has been forward ed to Gov. Geary, Kansas: That if the militia which, by previous orders, sent by Col. Euo - were made subject to the requisition o! Gen. P. F. Smith, are not sufficient for ti r exigency, Air. Marcy wishes to be notified thereof by telegraph. The dispatch also re marked that the insurrectionary invasion cl Kansas via Nebraska, and the subsequent ho;- tile attacks on the post office, and the dwell ings of Col. Titus and Clark seem to have sim ulated to unlawful acts of the same character parties on the border of Missouri, and that the President expects Gov. Geary to maintain the public peace, and bring punishment upon all acts of violence and disorder by wliomso ever the same may be perpetrated. The gov ernment thus relied on liis energy and discre tion and on the approved capacity of decision and coolness of character of Gen. Smith to prevent or suppress all attempts to kindles civil war in the territory. A telegraphic dispatch from the War De partment to Gen. Smith on the 9th inst., ac quaints him of the purpose of the President i„ secure to him all the militia force necessary to maintain order and to suppress the insurrec tion, and that no military operations shall be carried on in Kansas otherwise than underlie instructions. Hence he is instructed not to permit the employment of militia or. of an; armed bodies unless they are regularly mus tered in the service of the United States. New Rice.
