C O Hi U M B TJ 9: Monday Morning, October 37, ISSO. UAUUKS'I’ CITY UaCIIiATION. Tile Speaking To-l>ay. Wo understand (hat the Hou. It. Toombs, will Address (lie people of Columbus at Tem perance Hull to-day at 11 o’clock. New Klcctlon Precincts. We learn from the Enquirer of Saturday last, that two ucw election precincts have been established in Muscogee county, upon the recommendation of the Grand Jury. They arc at tire following places: one at Fleming B. Nance’s, six miles from Columbus, on the Hamilton road, in the 772d District; and the other at Jonathan Edwards’, in the 1128th District. Doxes are to be opened at both these places on the day of the approach ing Presidential election. . New Eating Baloon. Wc were invited on Saturday and dined with other friends at. th# new Eating Saloon of.l. 11. Thomas & Cos., on Broad street, im mediately under the Telegraph office. They have titled up a handsome saloon and are prepared to serve up meals to flic taste of the most fastidious epicure. — A proposition has been submitted in the i\t'W Voric Board of Aldermen, to divide tire oily into two distinct municipal governments. Revival In Montgomery. The Advertiser of Saturday says a revival of religion has been going on at. the Metho dist Episcopal Church in Montgomery for about three weeks, and as the interest in the good work continues to increase rather than diminish, it is probable that it will be pro t meted to an indefinite period. About thirty live persons hate already professed religion. ♦ . Georgia ami Florida Rail Hoad. We learn from the Albany Patriot, that the laying of the superstructure on the Hoad pro jecting from Americus to Albany, lias been completed to Sumter City, and that the cars will lie running to that point in about throe vv neks. Defeat of Sujip In Oltio. The Hon. W. It. Sapp, lilack Republican member of the present Congress from 1 lie loth District, in Ohio, lias been defeated by Burns, Buchanan Democrat, by a majority of sixty seven votes. In 1K.74 Sapp’s majority over his Democratic competitor was 2800 votes. This, we believe, places the delegation from Ohio 8 Democrats, and seventeen Kansas Shriekcrs. Soldier in Luck. We learn from (lie New York Mirror, that [’.revet Maj. George W. Rains, a native of Ma rengo county, Ala., has had the good fortune In marry a beautiful wife with a handsome properly on North River, valued at half a million of dollars, lie has resigned his com mission in tlio Army. Good fortune could not. have showered its bounties on a nobler man. Counterfclter* Arrested. Wo learn from the Dalton Times that two men calling themselves Win. C. Pitts and Jo seph Y. Hall, were arrested that plaoo last week, for passing counterfeit money. They had a general assortment of the spurious arti cle ou hand, consisting principally, however, of Ids on the Bank of Cape Fear, North Car olina. The gentlemen were lodged in jail to await their trial. A Foot Kace at Nashville. A foot race between a white man and a ne gro, lor SI,OOO a side, came oft” at Nashville, on Monday last. The Banner of Tuesday, nays: The great foot rucc between the celebrated runuer Shull* and a negro man from Athens, Alabama, came off on yesterday at the Nash ville course. The race was for SIOOO a side, two hundred yards. The negro was tlio fa vorite by odds of SIOO to SBO, and there was considerable outside betting. Shultz was not in good condition, having suffered recently with chills. He disappointad his friends, however, and won the race with apparent ease. The attendance was large, and the race ex cited great interest. ♦ Dr. Crane, the Phrenologist. The Washington North Carolina Times says : Dr. Crane squatted for a short timo In Vir ginia not long since, and there heleft the lady lie took from Portsmouth, to her late, and it is said trotted off with tlio lady of his land lord ! Officers are in hot pursuit of the de mon, and if captured, ho will pay dear for his impudence. We warned the public a week or two ago, to watch that man. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Compa ny have made a report of tlioir last year’s operation, from which it appears that the gross earnings of the main stem have been 51,385,951, being an increase of $(‘174,45*8 over the recipts of the year previous. The expenses of working the main stem and of maintenance of way and machinery have amounted to $2,884,779, being 54 jj percent upon the gross earnings ; of the net earnings 875)1.550 lias been expended in liquidating liabilities, and $541,521 in improving the pro perty. One Sano Man in Maino. A writer in the Evangelist, published in the above State, seems to have discovered that the Bible recognizes the institution of slavery.— I to says: *• We believe the laws of Moses do sanction in general that relation of master and servant which they describe and regulate. And if Paul, in the 5t Ii and tit li chapters of Ephesians, sanctions the conjugal, paternal and filial re lations, wc cannot understand why he docs not sanction that relation of master and ser vant, of which lie speaks in the same connec tion.” We hope others may havo their attention directed to the same source. They will gain from it no doubt valuable information, the practice of which they will find profitable, if i hoy have not reached the paroxysm of fanat icism which is always the premonitory symp tom of infidelity. Those who have reached ■ his fearful crisis in moral degeneracy are sel 'loia restored to a proper state of mind, but like a Parker they goon waxing worse and worse, until they are given up to believe a lie. This is the legitimate result to which a reckless fanaticism tends. —True Witness. Tor the Dally Sun. Hove you ever Thought of It 1 Several years ago some good persons in the city of Loudon, witnessing the dangers to i which young men were exposed, in regal’d to their morals, conceived the idea of originating an Association, that would throw around them a wholesome influence, and be the means of benefiting them. They met and organized an Institution which they denominated the “Young Men’s Christian Association.” Its aim was to elevate the standard of morality, withdraw from base influences and associa tions and connections, lead into paths of pu rity and holiness and elevate and refine, mentally, morally and spiritually. It bunded together young men whose determination it was to improve themselves, rescue others from degradation, and advance all towards the goal of excellence in morality and true piety. Mutual assistance, brotherly love and chari ty towards destitute and dissolute young men, were the bonds which held the association to gether, and animated its members to deeds of moral heroism and philanthropy. The success of the Institution was wonder ful. Its originators with joy and thanksgiv ing congratulated themselves upon the happy development of their idea. Other associations of a kindred nature sprang up all over the continent of Europe; and wherever they rose, they cast a benign influence upon tlie ‘class intended to be benefited. In tlie United States similar principles and aims found a congenial soil; they took root and spread rapidly—and now in all the pro minent cities of the. Union, these associations exist and flourish. The amount of good they perform, in all its consequences, is incalcula ble. Their immediate object is the elevation of those upon whose shoulders is to rest the destinies of our Republic—Grose who accord ingas they are vile or virtuous, immoral or moral, depress the tone of society, making it infamous, or exalt humanity, increasing joy and happiness. Their ultimate purpose is the regeneration of the world—making the earth to be “filledwith the knowledge of the glory of God, as tHe waters cover the sea."’ They operate by means of good papers, choicely selected books, meetings for moral . and spiritual improvement, public lectures mid the many different ways by which good may be accomplished. If a young man finds himself in a strange city seeking employment, lie receives assistance, and is induced to at tend tlie house of prayer, lest evil associates entice him into dens of infamy. Does a young unmarried man find his evenings a burden to him, and lienee be tempted to w’aste his time in frivolity and dissipation, he, on becoming a member of such an association, finds a place where he can retire for improvement, being sure of meeting upright associates. Thus in a degree is the saving influence of the family circle exerted. Who would not favor such an enterprise ? What young man would hesitate to enrol him self among those who profess to have in view purposes and ends so noble ? “Why not have a “Young Men’s Christian Association” in Columbus? Murder and Roliliery. A letter was received by his Honor the May or on Monday last, from Pon Pon, stating that tlio Cattle Tender of Col. Moise had been mur dered, and twenty-two cattle driven off, as was supposed, to the city. The Chief of l’olico deputed officer Hicks to investigate the matter, who shortly ascertained that a portion of tho cattle had been brougiit to the city and sold, ami from the description of the parties in the transaction, recognized them as persons whom lie had noticed witli suspicion previously. A Stato warrant was issued for their arrest, by the Attorney General, with which officer Hicks left tlio city for the neighborhood of Rnutowles; but upon his arrival there, he ascertained that the Magistrates of the vicinity had already acted, and had under arrest Robert Miller and James Miller, brothers; Isaac Winningham, William Murray, Richard Williams, Nat. Bow man, and a runaway nogro. They were con veyed to Walterboro, and, upon examination, Bowman, the youngest of the party, turned States’ evidence and testified to the killing of tho Cattle Tender, on tlio night of the 10th inst. lie was first struck on the head with an axe by Winningham, and his body dragged about six hundred yards, and concealed in a briar patch, tho other parties aiding and con senting to the murdor, which was deliberately planned beforehand. The parties were all committed to jail at Walterboro, to take their trial at the next Court of Sessions. —Charleston Mercury. Behold !—A Consisteiit Fremont Man. The Daughter of a Fremont Elector mar ried to a Nigger!—Wliat are we coming to ? The following is from n Crawfordsville (In diana) paper. Read it, and be astonished:— “The doctrine that has been so boldly advoca t ed by the leaders of the Abolition party, during the last year, ‘that a negro was as good as a white man,’ has become, with a majority of the members of that, party, a fixed fact. No longer than last week, a man residing in the vioinity of Obcrlin College, in tho State of Ohio, gave his only daughter in marriage to a sooty African, who had been educated at this Abolition Institute. This man, we un derstand, is a State Elector on the Fremont ticket, and regards the negro as his equal. The young lady is described as being extreme ly beautiful, and lint sixteen years of age, while her dusky lord is blacker than tlifc dark est midnight.” Arrest of Model Artistes in Now York. The police of New York on Friday night made a descent upon the model artiste estab luent of Madame Wharton, 187 Grand street, and arrested six females—tho entire troupe. The prisoners were held to keep tho peace. Tho I’ost says: They all concurred in saying that they lmd always led virtous lives, that they exhibited themselves as living statues voluntarily, for tho rcasou that they were well paid, receiving from $4 to $5 per week, according to beauty. That they would not be allowed to appear un less clad in a suit of flesh-colored tights and a thin gauze shirt, which they each had to pay four dollars for ; and that Madame Whar- j ton whose name appears on the bills, was not the proprietress, and only a model, and that she left some time ago. Tin Fillmore Electors, llawuskuko, Oct. 20.— A large and entlui- I Biastic Fillmore meeting was held at tho courthouse to-night, which unanimously en i arsed the action of the Fillmore Stale Com- j at l’hiladelphia. and evinced a deter- i minai >i not to fuse, under any circumstance, j with the iv, M tblicans. Affairs In Nicaragua. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from the city of Granada, under date of October 2d, gives some particulars in rela tion to the condition of our affairs in Nicara gua, and the position assumed by our Gov ernment towards General Walker, that are perhaps more nearly accurate than those com ing through Walker’s organ, El Nicaraguense : 1 have been somewhat disappointed in the appearance of the city of Granada. I had been led to suppose that it contained within its limits some ten or twelve thousand inhabi tants; but from a careful personal explora tion and estimate, I am inclined to think that the entire population, American and native, does not at present exceed two or three thou sand. In former days Granada must have been a magnificent city, and this the buildings, yet in a state of preservation, clearly indicate; but a large portion of the city, churches in cluded, is now in a state of dilapidation; and this is also true in regard to the other cities of the republic. A better state of things can not be hoped for until internal wars and rev olutions cease, and Nicaragua becomes entire ly North Americanized. The President, General Walker, appears to be very popular with the army, and with the American portion of citizens of this Republic. That he is qualified for his present exalted position cannot be doubted, and that lie exer cises the supreme authority with which he lias been clothed, with great judgment and moderation, is universally admitted. Tho heads of the departments and other officers of the administration, civil and military, appear to be generally men of experience and ability. A majority of these, not including the heads of departments, are Americans and Euro peans. A large majority of the native popu lation—legitimists and liberals, Chainorists, llivasites, Leonites and Granadians—are be lieved to be hostile to the Walker administra tion and flic North Americans generally. In deed, 1 have been assured on tlie authority of a high-born native lady, friendly to General Walker and to tlio cause of progress, that there are not more than eighty families in Grana da entertaining sentiments on this subject in consonance with her own; and yet confidence in (lie ultimate success of President Walker appears to be daily gaining strength. The union between tlio Chauioristas and llivasites, for the overthrow of General Walk er, can be but temporary, ‘flic present con test appear to be a war of colors, and should the natives succeed in effecting tlie expulsion on destruction of Walker and his army, thei intestine broils between the “serviles” and “liberals” would undoubtedly be renewed with increased violence. General Walker is emphatically the head of the government, performing himself ninny of tlie duties belong ing to the several departments ; and no other in Nicaragua could so well fill his place in the present crisis of public affairs. He seems to have been designed by Providence to work out the political salvation on Central Amer ica. The late recognition here of General Walk er’s administration by Col. Wheeler, United States Minister, appears, by the last official advices from Washington, to have been virtu ally approved by the President of the United States, though Mr. Oaksmith had not, and probably will not, be at present accredited by Pierce as Minister from this republic. It is probable that no change will be made in the present relation between this government and that of the United Stales until after the rati fication of the treaty in reference to Central American affairs, negotiated by Mr. Dallas at the Court of St. James. In the meantime Major lleiss, (who arrived here by tlie Ten nessee on a flying visit, and returns by the next steamer) will, probably continue, by au thority of President Walker, and with the ap probation of the President Pierce, to exercise the functions of Uharge d’Affairs to the Uni ted States, from the republic of Nicaragua. And Mr. Wheeler, it is understood has also received from Washington authority or in structions to correspond on certain important matters with the Nicaraguan government; thus, as I have before remarked, virtually re cognizing the administration of President Walker. Since the above was written, an event has occurred which fully establishes the view’s I have expressed in regard to the feelings en tertained by President Pierce towards the present government of Nicaragua. A beauti ful national flag was on Tuesday last presented by Col. Hall, from Mr. A. C. Lawrence, of New York, to the rifle battalion of Nicara gua, commanded by Col. Anderson; and on the same evening a party was given in honor of tlie occasion, by Col. A. and the other officers of the battalion, at which, among other distinguished guests, Col. Wheel er was present, and at which much wine was disposed of, many toasts responded to, and many speeches delivered. In reply to a complimentary sentiment. Col. Wheeler declared himself to be heart and soul iu favor of the present administration of their republic and expressed his belief that Nicaragua would ultimately become a star of North American confederacy. He further an nounced that he was instructed by his late dispatches from Washington to express to tlie President of Nicaragua tlio earnest desire of the President of the United States that peace and prosperity might attend tlie republic. In regard to the position and movements of the military forces opposed to General Walk er, reports are from time to time so con tradictory that it is almost impossible to adopt, any safe conclusion. Correct informa, tion as to the two battles fought at San Jacin to Branch, you will have already received by the Tonneessec. It is stated that in the last of these two battles—that in which Col. Cole was killed—the American loss is ascertained to have been some thirty killed, missing, and mortally wounded. The loss of the enemy is of couse unknown. The enemy's forces (about 800) it is reported, remained at San Jacinto for two or three days subsequently to the bat tle, and then marched to Nicaragua, some forty-five miles northwest of this city, and about equidistance from Granada and Leon, the American garrisrn having loft. Managua and taken up their quarters at Massaya, a city about twelve miles northwest of Oranada, ou tlie route to Managua. Tlie enemy’s force now concentrated nt Managua, is reported to be about 4,800. The available Walker, or patriot force at Massaya, is estimated at 500; at Granada 400, and at Rivas, Snn Car los, and Sarapiqui, (south of this city,) about 200 men, all provided with a plenty of arms and ammunition. Six howitzers, throwing twelve-pound shells, purchased in New York for Nicaragua, and to be received by the steamer Texas, now due at Sau Juan del Nor te, will greatly increase the efficiency of Gon. Walker's operations, and much astonish tlie natives should these howitzers he turned against Managua or any other fortified adobe town in possession of the enemy. It seeing that after the occupancy of Managua by the enemy, they posted pickets along tho route towards tho Massaya. who were subsequently driven back by the rangers, since which time they hu e remained encamped in Managua: and fi na the information last received at the Adju'.aht General’s office, it appears that they are without*cannon, and poorly supplied with amniunitioi| and provisions. The belief is ex pressed by the Adjutant General (Thompson) that they will soou disband or retreat to Leon. Tire Cuhaa Slave Trude. The Havana correspondent of the New York Times writes under date of Oct. Bth : Our two weeks of tempest, although it has served to prevent the ordinary business of the merchant and planter, has been rather favora ble thau otherwise to the iniquitous truffle in human beings, three cargoes having been safe ly landed—two on the south sido and one on the north—sinco my last notes, although the Captain General of Cuba believes that “ not five hundred negroes have been landed upon tho Island of Cuba since he resumed the ad ministration of the government.’’ Death of an Old Citizen. Mrs. Ritter, a lady who had arrived at the unusual age of 105 years and 8 mouths, de parted this life yesterday, and will bo buried this moruiug. Our eldest citizens remember her as a matron. She is suid to have lived iu Savannah at least since she was a child.— Sav. (icoryian , 11th. White Mail killed by a Negro Woman. We learn from one of our Nashville ex changes, that a man named Geo. Taylor, was struck in the head with a rock, on Sunday evening last, in that city, by a free negro wo man named Susan Jones, which caused the man’s death the next morning. The woman was arrested, and placed in jail to await her trial for murder. Western Annoyance. Judge J., who has recently returned from a tour in tlie West, relates an anecdote illustrat ing the hon’ors to which travelers in that re gion arc exposed. In his passage to one of the rivers, he fell in company with a talkative lady and gentleman, to whom he was relating some of his sufferings from mosquitoes. “ Husband,” said tlie lady to the gentleman owning that title, “you had better tell the gentleman about tlie man we met—iu lowa.” The hint w r as sufficient, and “husbapd” proceeded to say that, in their travels farther West, they made the acquaintance of a stal wart, rolicking, Western Hoosier, one of the genius who could “Whip his weight in wild cats ; ” but who possessed a fund of quiet hu mor. On one occasion, they had stopped at a hotel in the interior, not of the most, inviting appearance. They were shown to their rooms, the Hoosier at one end, the lady and gentle man at the other, of a long hall. About mid night the drowsy couple were startled by a report of firearms, proceeding from tlie end of the hall occupied by their traveling compan ion. Both started up in bed and began to speculate upon the probable cause of this un timely alarm, when they heard a rushing of feet and a confusion of voices in the hall. On going to the door, the gentleman found tlie whole househouse, headed by the land lord, rushing in the direction of the report. His curiosity led him to join this midnight procession, and he arrived with the rest in front of the Hoosier’s door. The landlord tried the latch, but found it fast, whereupon, in a loud voice, he demanded instant admis sion. “ What do you want ? ” roared a voice with in. “ Want to come in ! ” replied the landlord. “ Can’t do it! ” was the cool response from within. “It’s my room, and I’m in bed— can’t come in.” “Let me in!” shouted the landlord, in a louder tone, at tlie same time shaking the door violently, “or I’ll break the door down! ” “ Hold on ! ” rejoined tlie voice within ; “I’ll open the door.” The door was opened, when in rushed the whole party, expecting to see the floor covered with blood. What was their surprise to find everything in its proper place, and the Hoosier calm. A revolver was lying carelessly upon the bed. “Who fired that pistol?” demanded (he landlord. “ I did ! ” was the reply. “Why?” asked the landlord. The Hoosier stepped to the bed, and throw ing open the covering, said: “Look here! Do you see that? ” The attention of the party was at once di rected to the point indicated, and there, over the whole surface of the sheet, bed-bugs were scrampering in every direction, like a flock of sheep frightened by a dog. The landlord was chagrined and puzzled, and looked to liis lodger for an explanation. “These,” began the Hoosier, straightening himself up to his.full height and gesticulating witli his right hand in grandiloquent style— “ These are my friends! I have settled an armistice with them, and we are on friendly terms: but on the window sill there, just out side, you will find two infernal big fellows that I couldn’t do anything with, and so I just put a bullet thro’ ’em. But it’s all right now ; it’s all understood between me and my friends here, and we shall get along well enough now.” It is needless to add, that the landlord re tired to his own bed crest-fallen, while the spectators enjoyed a hearty laugh. Criminal Justice. A coiTcspondent of Porter is the voucher for this amusing story : The following occurred in California in its palmy days, when alcaldes, elected by t he min ers of the district, dispensed equal and exact justice to all. An individual by the name of Green had borrowed some forty dollars of another of tlio soubriquet of Shortez. Now, Shortez could not obtain the money, though Green had struck a lead and was known to have dust. Green was a large, powerful man, but no grit, and Shortez offer ed to fight for the money, but Green backed water. Well, the claim was brougiit before the Al calde, on a cold, rainy, dismal evening, and as there was considerable talk about it, the boys gathered in to sec the fun—rather a motley appeaving crowd, with long beards and hair, patched pants, rimless lints, toeless boots, &o. The honorable Judge was unwell, but sat tip in his bunk, with a red bandana tied round his head. The case was clearly proven. Tlie Alcalde decided that Green must pay, and if he would not, a committee of three were to search him or his cabin, and get tlie money, and also tlie court costs. Upon this, Shortez deliberately rose and said : “ Yonr Honor, 1 will forgive him the debt, and pay the costs besides, if he will only give me a fight, so that 1 can whale him.” Green, when he heard this, squared him self, thinking the court room would be sacred, but Shortez pitched in at once and clinched. Several, myself included, sprang in to separate them, when in deep tones, and waiving tlie bandana, tlie tlie Judge exclaimed: “Gentle men, gentlemen, stand back! If tlie parties wish to effect a compromise, don’t interfere !” And we stood back. Saw Green whipped in a few seconds, and after that obliged to pay the funds. The above was California justice as true ns the Gospel of St. John. TELEGRAPHIC. ‘Felegraptied to the Daily Su n . From New Orleans, New Orleans, Oct. 24.

General Intelligence. The At lantic arrived at Liverpool on Thun day. 9th. The political news is not important, as v, gards any marked change in the state of fin. ropean affairs. Leading Journals of Gertn-i ---ny report that the King of Naples has her-ii induced to accede to the demands of the \|. lies, and that a peaceful solution of the diiii culty may be expected. The Allied squadron had not sailed for Naples. A Russian squadron will escort the Queen Mother. The French Ambsssador had interposed a.< to the Royalist, prisoners at Neufchatel, but the popular confederation refused compliance or acquiescence in the demand, unless on con dition of a release of all Prussian claims to the Principality.

A gentleman whoso name wc did not learn, says the San Francisco Golden Eagle, arrived in this city from Bird’s Hill, for the purpose of procuring surgical advice in relation to the possibility of removing from the Stomach a large snake, which has inhabited that locality for tho past fifteen years. Exactly at which time the reptile was taken into the stomach, tho sufferer is not aware, lie felt its presence iu the vicinity of the kidneys many years ago; but the pains experienced, although sometimes acute and troublesome, occasioned no alarm until about two years since, when, one day feeling quite unwell, he placed his hand upon his bowels, and distinctly felt the snake crawl ing within him. Since then it has grown enor mously and has atttained a length of at least fifteen inches, and a size round the middle o! five or six inches. Its proportions can he pretty accurately ascertained, as its entire shape is fearfully obvious to the touch. It i* quite active, and possesses an insatiable appe tite, judging from the amount of food and wa ter consumed by the sufferer, who is continu ally parched with thirst, and not unfrequeutl) requires from three to four gallons of Uu l ’ l daily. Through tho recommendation of au Indian, lie has lately found considerable relief from the incessant thirst by drinking wutcr liberally diffused with vinegar. He has made several ineffectual attempts to dislodgo tho “varmint by starvation and the free use of stimulant-. On one occasion, he abstained from both f° o ‘‘ anil water for three days, in tho hope of hrint?’ ing the occupant to some sort of terms. R |C first day, the snake became uneasy ; the see ond, boisterous; and tho third, furious, hit still the man held out. At the end of the tlnn day, however, his snakeship commenced au at tack upon the walls of his prison, with wlm appeared to be a tolerable full set of teeth, j ll1 ’ the result was uu immediate supply ot 1"” more agreeable to both parties. As may 11 supposed, the man is reduced to a perfect sk l ’ 1 ’ stun, under the extreme torture of mind a" 1 body preying upon him night and day, blit j 1 ’ does not despair of tiuding a surgeon in 1 )’ city sulliciently skillful to make an incision l,l the abdomen and remove the reptile. We have read of similar cases ; but this the first that ever came under our own vatiou, uud wo hope it uioy be the last, lu r *’ Lave felt “till overish” ever since.
