COLUMBUS:
Saturday Morning) Nov. !4, 1850.
LAItUKST CITY CIRCULATION.
The Gem.
We called, on yesterday at the Uein. Really
iu the way of magnificence it is a jewel of the
first water.
The incredulous are positively requested not
to receive our say, but go and perceive the in
dubitable proof of the excellencies of this .Es
tablishment. It is one of the places you read
about and see.

At Coat.
On account ol’ feeble health, our friend Mr.
Hunter, offers his fresh, extensive and fash
ionable stock at cost for cash. Those who de
sire bargains, can bo served with warranted
articles at this old established house. Those
interested will please make a note of this fact.
Delegates to the Savannah Commercial Con
vention, arc to be pussed over all the roads
free. See the card of the Muscogee Road in
another column.
Spalding & Rogers* Circus.
We attended yesterday afternoon the exhi
bition of this truly magnificent circus.
The feat of Madame Lake was performed to
the utmost satisfaction of the outside specta
tors. Truly she is a wonder, in any latitude.
That embodiment of fun, Rill Lake, is one
of those we read about. Ilia colleagues, par
ticularly Davenport, iu the humorous line, are
a head and shoulder above any we have ever
witnessed.
As to James Robinson, the acknowledged
chief equestrian of the world, wo can only say
he is fully up, if not far beyond all wc hear
from the discriminating press throughout the
South. And, then, Kyle’s Rand is the “Ne
Plus Ultra” of music.

The Texas State Times says the crops on the
Rio Grande are very promising. The first crop,
which turned out well, has been gathered.—
The second is doing finely, though cornfields
immediately on the river stand a chance of be
ing damaged by an overflow.
Official Vote of Louisiana.
Ruchanan’s vote in this State, according to
the official returns is 22,164; and Fillmore’s
vote 20,709. Majority for Ruchunau 1,455.
John Picket, the notorious thief, was arres
ted by Mr. John W. Clark, the Sheriff of our
county, a few days ago in Eufaula. The way
of the transgressor is hard, says Holy writ—
this is evidently true in this case. This man
Picket first broke out of the jail of this coun
ty —-escaped from the jail of Coffee, and we
learn escaped from the jail of Columbus, Ga.
If he is not smart himself, he evidently has
colleagues whe are cunning, or he could never
have effected his escape from so many prisons.
If we are not awfully mistaken in our man,
the young culprit will certainly find a safe
landing at Wetumpka next spring. Our inde
fatigable jailor has tuken precautionary steps
to have him forthcoming at our next Circuit
Court, by having him securely ironed—and
uud besides that, he occupies one room of the
establishment every night himself, or place
some reliable person in his stead. —When
men wilfully violate the late law, by ap
propriating goods of other persons—they
should suffer the extreme penalty of that of
fended law. Picket it seems, was not satisfied
with stealing goods, but after his escape from
this jail, he added on the crime of appropriat
ing other people’s horses to his own use and
behoof, without so much as by your leave. —
Give him and such light fingored gentry to
“Jesse” and he will insure his safety.—Clay
ton Ala. Banner.
An Important Connection.
It is with no ordinary degree of satisfaction
that we learn that the stock for the railroad
connecting Nashville with the Memphis and
Charleston road, at Decatur, Ala., is nowall
taken, and that the building of the same is a
“ fixed fact.” This road runs through Col
umbia, Pulaski, Athens, and thence to Deca
tur. It will prove of incalculable benefit to
the people of Maury and Giles, as well as be a
great advantage to this city.— Nash. Patriot.
Distressing Accident.
On the morning of the 17th inst., Pctronolla,
daughter of Mr. Joseph Marks, of this place,
while engaged near the fire, had her clothes
ignited, and before any assistance could be
rendered, was so terribly burnt ns to cause her
death, which took place on the morning of the
22d.— Pensacola Gazette.
Monument to W. R. Taber.
Many of the friends and admirers of the
late Wm. R. Taber, of Charleston, are propos
ing to erect a monument to his memory. A
number of the Richmond Enquirer, alluding
to the subject, very justly remarks, that “the
zeal and ability which he displayed in defend
ing tho rights of the South, will make his
name be cheerished with admiration where
ever a Southern sun kindles the noble instincts
or our nature into a glow of generous pride.
But, to us of the editoral profession, any pro
position to honor the memory of Wm. It. Ta
ber, must appeal with peculiar force. In life
he was amoug tho highest ornaments of the
press; and he died to vindicate its rights.—
We claim the privilege of attesting our admi
ration of his genius, our sympathy with his
cause, and our sorrow for his unfortunatr
fate. ” —Atlanta Intelliyeurer.
Survey of the Air Line Railroad.
The Corps of Surveyors of the Air Line
Railroad, we learn, have proceeded about for
ty miles, on the survey; and represent the
country as much more favorablo for the loca
tion of the Road, than their most sanguine
hopes, had anticipated. For thirty-two miles
on the Peach Tree Ridge, they found a route
on which but little grading would be necessa
ry. and no streams of any consequence to bo
bridged. Such a prospect as this is cheering
to the friends of this important enterprise,
and must encourage all who are iuterested iu
the advancement of Atlanta, to carry it to
completion.— Atlanta lntclligcnccr.\
The Alabama River.
Our river is full to overflowing and five
boats wero at the wharf yesterday morning—
the Jenny Bealle, Jcaunette, Leona, Coosa
Belle, and the Fuselier. The Coosa Relic enme
down from Wetumpka with a load of cotton,
and left at half past eight yesterday morning.
Jeannette left at seven o’clock without any
k cotton, and the Leona about noon. The Jen
ft ny Bealle left in the.evening. Mauy others,
” among them some of the largest class, are on
their way up, and hourly expected to arrive.
This begins to look like spring on our little
spring bunch.— Montgomery Journal.
Walker’s Chief Ordinance. General Hen
ningsen.
The New Vork Mirror pays a very hand
some tribute to Charles Frederick Hennihgseu,
Brigadier General of Walker’s army, and late
a resident of Georgia. He succeeds Gen.de
Golcouria. The latter has been dropped. Ac
cording to Maj. ileiss, circumstances go far to
show that the expedition, one thousand strong
which Golcouria lately projected for Central
America was intended to operate against Wal
ker.
The following appears in she N. V. llerald
of last Saturday:
1 have noticed the appointment by Presi
dent Walker of Col. Charles Frederick Hen
ningsen as Brigader General of the Nicaraguan
army, Commander of tho Artillery and Chief
of Ordnance, vice general D. do Golcouria,
whose name has been stricken from the roll of
the army, Gen. Golcouria is well known in this
city as one of the leading spirits of the Cuban
Junta. For some weeks past public rumor
has identified him with the fitting out of an
expedition in this city and New Orleans, for
the transportations of which to Nicaragua the
steamer El Dorado and other vessels were en
gaged. 1 understand that Golcouria had suc
ceeded in enlisting nearly a thousand men in
those cities for the enterprise, which will now,
I presume, fall to the ground by reason of his
dismissal. The secret of his earnest and efli
cient co-operation with Walker was, that he
caculated on making Nicaragua a point of ap
pui for the future designs upon the Island of
Cuba. It was not for Nicaragua lie cared,
but for his native island. The men whom he
enlisted were all engaged with that object in
view. With them as with him, Nicaragua was
merely a secondouary affair; Cuba was the
object of primary importance. Walker on the
contrary, cared nothing for Cuba; ho looked
out merely for Nicaragua. Had Golcouria
and his thousand recruits gone to Granada,
there would in all probability have been a split
between him and Walker, as their ideas onthis
matter clashed. A collision and struggle for
supremacy would have been the inevitable re
sult. If Golcouria prevailed, then the designs
of the filibusters would have been turned to
wards Cuba, and a decent upon that island
would have been made at the first favorable
moment. Had Wulker come out victorious in
the struggle, he would have continued in the
path he has hitherto pursued, of making Ni
caragua a prosperous republic.
As to General Henuingsen, who has super
ceded Golcouria iu his military command, I
notice that one of the newspapers of this city
attributes his appointment to the influence of
certain pro linent friends of Mr. Bucan, the
President elect, and to Henningsen's supposed
sympathy with the recent slavery propagandist
edict af Gen. Walker. That is not so. The
cause of his appointment is more likely to be
found in the fact that Gen- Henuingsen carried
to President Walker a supply of several hun
dred American minnic rifles, manufactured out
of a somowlmt famous store of old United
States muskets, besides a half million of ball
cartridges, some cannon howitzers, shells and
other military stores, furnished by residents
of this city. I believe that that opportune
supply had more influence than anything else
in causing Wulker to give Henuingsen the
commission in question.
Tho antecedents of Gen. Henuingsen had
doubtless also commanded him to the favora
ble notice af Walker. He served as an officer
under Zunalacarregui in Spain, when quite a
youth. He was subsequently u prominent
and trusted officer in Kossuth’s Hungarian ar
my. He is the author of severul popular
hooks, among which 1 may mention “Twelve
Months Campain with Zunalacarregui,” “Re
velations of Russia.” ‘‘The past and future
of Hungary,” and “The White Slave.” Gen.
llenningsen came to the United States about
same time as Kossuth. He married Mrs. Con
nelly, an accomplished Georgia lady, neice of
the late Senator Berrien, and settled iu that
State. For some months prior to his joining
President Walker he resided in this city with
his family.

The Knowles Saw Mill.
The Knowles Saw mill was put iu operation
yesterday afternoon, at Clapp’s Factory, and
we believe, more than satisfied every one who
saw it, that it cannot be approached by any
other mill or saw in tho country. This mill is
one for slitting lumber; if tlic ouc for sawing
logs is at all to be compared with it in practi
cal operation, the Knowles Patent is the most
useful invention ever offered in the Southern
States.
We are compelled to be brief in our notice
of what we saw yesterday, but we beg to say,
that in the following respects, this mill is un
equalled by any other.
Ist. Its great rapidity, caused by the su
periority of the principle brought to bear in
the cutting of tho saw. Without four-hourse
power applied, it cut 1200 feet an hour, (re
ducing flooring to weather-boarding,) while
we saw it.
2d. The great smoothness and uninformity
of surface left by the saw. Even the largest
and hardest knots make no difference in this.
3d. The economy in the use of the saw,
which is only about half the thickness of the
ordinary saw, and therefore saves a paying
percentage on every log sawed.
4th. Tho simplicity, certainty and economy
of the mode of setting those saws.
We congratulate tho owners of the patent
here, on the gratifying demonstration of the
unequalled excellence of the mill, made yes
terday. Every mechanic present was com
pletely convinced of its superiority over all
other mills.
A handful of the saw dust cut by this mill,
compared with the cutting of any other, will
show that the one is a smooth, regular chisel
ing, while the other is made by tearing and
crushing.
We would advise all persous iuterested in
saw mills, in the neighboring country, to come
in and see the mill at Clapp's Foctory. It can
not fail to supersede all others : and no man
can compete with it, who uses any other.
The company of gentlemen who own the pa
tent here, are known to be of the highest
character, and several of them possess the am
plest information as to all mechanical opera
tions.—Montgomery Mail.
A foreign journal states that llogoll, trum
pet-major and band-master of the Artillery of
the Guard, was to celebrate at Berlin his fiftieth
year of continual service, and this with unin
jured lungs. In honor of the occasion there
was to be a monstor concert by an orchestra,
playing upon 490 instruments—most of them
brass. This Rogell blew tho retreat at Jena,
and the advance nt Leipsic and Waterloo.—
Whatever else may bo said of the musical vete
ran, it is certainly true that he has “blown his
own trumpet” longer nnd with more safety,
success and renown, than most men who per
form a similar operation.
“ Oh, you’re a ’prentice !” said a little boy
the other day, tauntingly to his companion.—

while the tire of injured pride and the look of

coolly answered—“ So was Franklin !”

The Mobile and Ohio Railroad vs. State
of Alabama and Others.
Several, nice questions were made by coun
sel in the argument of the motion to dissolve
the injunction in this cause, but I shall rest
my decision upon one poiut.
The consent of the complainant to the pro
visions of the act of the 14th of February is a
condition precedent to a renewal of the loan.
The State .was under no legal obligations to
renew the loan, and it had therefore tho right
to make the renewal depend upon a condition
precedent. But it is said :
Ist, That the act of the 14th of February,
which prescribes the condition precedent, is
unconstitutional upon its face.
2d, That it is impossible of performance by
the Company, because of the intervening
rights of third persons.
3d, That it was impossibic of performance
because the stockholders were numerous, were
citizens of different States, and there was not
sufficient time between the passage of the act
and tho time assigned in the Trust Deed
to call them together, and have their action
upon the matter.
The objections are unavailing, for the rule
of law is that a condition precedent is not dis
charged because it was illegal, nor by reason
of its impossibility at the time of its creation;
but that such a condition prevents gift or con
tract depending upon it from taking effect.
The rule is so well settled and so often assert
ed in the books, that I do not think it necessa
ry to cite an authority for it.
It is laid down in cases of bequest that
“ when the condition precedent does not con
cern anything malum in se, but is merely mal
um pro hibitum, or contrary to public policy, or
contra bonos mores, the bequest is single and
good; for tho condition not being awful, it is
held in the phrase of the civil law, pro non
adjeeta.” Rut these cases are exceptions to
the common law rule. They were taken by
the Ecclesiastical Courts of England, which
had jurisdiction of such matters, from the civ
il law, and then followed, for the sake of uni
formity, in cases of concurrent jurisdiction by
the Courts of Equity.
If the Company had complied with the act
of the 14th of February, and had obtained a
renewal of the loan, it would then have been
in a position, in case of default, to have ques
tion the constitutionality of the act.
The bill alleges that the company has ac
cepted the renewal and has offered to comply
with the terms of the act of the 12th of Feb
ruary, but that the Governor refuses to allow
a renewal unless the company also comply
with the provisions of the act, of the 14th of
February. The allegation is insufficient, to
relieve the company from the operation of tho
second act. It should have shown that there
was a contract prior to the passage of that act.
If A say to B, I will sell you my ship there,
riding at anchor, for sUOO,OOO, and II is wil
ing to take the ship at that price, but says no
thing, there is no contract, and A may after
wards impose such terms as he pleases as a
condition precedent to the sale. So in this case,
as the company had not expressed its assent
to the provisions of the act of the 12th of Feb
ruary, the State had the right to make the re
newal of the loan dependent upon a compli
ance with the requisitions of the act of the
12th of February.
It was said in argument that the Governor
had required the Company to release any de
fence it might have by reason of the loan be
ing made in the bills of the State Bank and its
Branches, and that lie had doue so under a
misconstruction of the proviso of the act of
.the 12th February, which declared that an ex
tension of the loan should not be made unless
he “is satisfied that the debt is made perfect
ly safe to the State.”
The point does not seem to be made by the
complainant. Assuming, however, that it is,
and that the Governor’s “construction is erro
neous, still it cannot even be presented while
the Company alleges its unwillingness or its
inability to comply with the act of the 14th
February.
It is not necessary to decide the other ques
tions, and I leave them without the expression
of an opinion. The last two points might
have been omitted, but 1 mentioned them be
cause they seemed to be iu the way of getting
to the one upon which I disposed of the mo
tion:
Let the following order be entered:
This cause came to be heard on a motion to
dissolve tho injunction upon the Bill and an
i swers. Notice was served on the complainant
on the 30th day of August last, that the de
fendants would move a dissolution of the in
junction before me at 10 o’clock, A. M., of the
I 11th September next thereafter, at the Court
j House of the County of Montgomery, on the
denials of the Answer of the Governor, and
J on the want of Equity in the Bill, and the mo
-1 tion then being adjourned by the consent of
’ the Solicitors on both sides until the next Bat*
| urday, and the same being then argued and
| submitted, it is now upon consideration there
: of ordered that the injunction be dissolved.
And the complainants thereupon praying an
appeal, it is further ordered that an appeal be
granted, that the appeal bond be the sum of
fifty thousand dollars, and that the condition
thereof be to pay the costs of this motion, the
costs of the appeal, and any damage that may
accrue by reason of it.

The Air Line Railroad.
From the Atlanta Intelligencer, Nov. 12.
Mr. Alexander Wurrall, a gentleman of
great experience and a high reputation, has,
we understand,'been employed to make the
survey of the Georgia Air Line railroad, and
commenced the work yesterday morning. The
great objeet to be accomplished by this survey
is to ascertain tho most practicable route, and,
as near us possible, the cost of construction,
and to place such facts relating to the enter
prise before the public, as will enable the
friends of the undertaking to go abroad and
obtain additional subscriptions and thereby
urge forward the work more rapidly.
Some of the opponents of this enterprise
havo urged that if subscriptions are obtained
along the line the subscribers will not pay their
instalments. In ordering the survey it has
been deem best, as weave informed, to have the
surveying party on the line before the instal
ment! p one per cent, to pay for the same shall
be due, ;n order that all may see and under
stand the purpose to which it is to be appro
priate i. It is a consideration therefore, for
the subscribers of stock to put down this charge
by paying promptly the uuiouut required iu
the beginning of the work. So far as con
cerns the subscribers of stock in Atlanta, we
have no hesitation in assuring our country
friends that their instalments will be prompt
ly paid.
While on this subject, it may be of interest
to mention that we have a letter from a well
informed and reliable correspondent, inform
ing us that there are five men, residing near
Warsaw Ferry, on the Chattahoochee river—
Mr. Evan Howell, Hampton Howell, Jackson
Graham, Henry Strickland and Isaac Strick
land, who will scribe $45;000, to the stock of
the Air Line railroad, if the Reach Tree Ridge
road aoute shall be adopted. Our correspon
dent further informs us that there are many
others on the same river, who will subscribe
from one to five thousand dollarseach, on sim
ilar conditions.
Brazil.
The Rev. J. C. Fletcher recently read an in
teresting paper on “Braziland the Brazilians,”
before the New York Historical Society. Mr.
Fletcher was for several years a resident of
that country. Brazil, he says, possesses won
derful fertility and salubrity, which he attri
butes to the general elevation of the country
and the constant trade winds upon her coasts,
which cool the atmosphere and bear treasures
of clouds from the ocean, which descend in
rains that invigorate vegetation. The country
has immense forests, garlanded with graceful
wiki vines and orchidaceous plants, or bearing
the most brilliant flowers upon their own
branches. The Victoria Regia blooms on the
waters of the Amazon affluents, and the grace
ful palm lifts itself everywhere, imparting to
the tropical landscape a very peculiar feature.
Brazil, it is well known, is a diamond produc
ing country, although its most prolific yield
was in the eighty years preceding 1822—the
era of Brazilian independence. In that time,
three and a half million pounds sterling was
obtained by the sales of the sparkling gem. It
is rich, also, in other minerals, and in agricul
tural products. The single article of coffee,
for the fiscal year 1854-5, amounted to more
than twenty-five millions of dollars.
The climate is not so hot as in the summer
with us, the average heat within the tropic of
Capricorn being seventy-two degrees. The
poisonous reptiles and the yellow fellow fever
have been greatly exagerated; the latter has
now left Brazil. Mr. Fletcher showed that the
aborigines were among the first who inhabi
ted the New World, and proved that the ear
liest voyagers on the Amazon really believed
that they had seen a nation of female warriors;
tor among the wild tribes found among the
upper tributaries of that river to this day, the
men wear their hair long, parted in the mid
dle, braided behind, and done up with a comb.
They pluck out their beard, wear necklaces
and bracelets, and with their shields over their
breasts they present exactly the appearance of
women.
According to Mr. Fletcher, the first Protes
tant colony in the New World was planted un
der the auspices of the French AdmiralColigni
upon an island in the bay of Rio Janeiro in
1555. The church at Geneva took a great in
terest in the enterprise, but through the treach
ery of its leader and the victories of the Por
tuguese it was completely broken up. The
Hollanders occupied a portion of the Northern
coast for thirty years, but were overpowered
by the Portuguese. Some of them thereupon
came to New 1 ork. The growth of Brazil may
be dated from 1808, when King John IV.,
driven from Portugal by the French, took up
his abode in this the greatest colony of his
subjects, and opened its ports to the com
merce of the world, and introduced other re
forms.
The government of Brazil is a constitutional
monarchy, and nowhere in the world are relig
ious toleration, and the liberty of the individ
ual better secured, unless in our own country,
l here is an impartial parliament, senators be
ing elected for life, and representaives for four
years (by electors). There are twenty pro
vinces, and twenty provincial legislatures.—
Brazil is tree trom revolutions, her commerce
is constantly increasing, and slavei'y will be
done away with in course of time. She has
six lines of steamers connecting with Europe,
but none in the United States, although wc sell
to her five millions of dollars worth annually,
and purchase nineteen millions. The Empe
ror Don Bedroll., is an enlightened and able
monarch, familiar not only with the literature
of Europe, but of the United States, and is a
man of great scientific attainments.
Horrible Murder of a French Missionary in
China.
The llong Kong Register of Sept. 14th gives
an account of the murder by the authorities of
Kwang-Si of Rev. M. Chapdelaine, a French
Catholic missionary. It says:
“ He was seized by the authorities on the
14th of February last, it is presumed under the
notion that he was there exciting the people to
rebellion. Without anything in the shape of
a trial, indignities the most gross and cruelties
the most barbarous were heaped upon him.—
The Mandarin who ordered his seizure, caused
to be administered to him one hundred blows
on the jaws with the sole of ashoe, from which
the poor missionary suffered intensely. He
was immediately afterwards thrown upon the
ground, when he received three hundred blows
from a rattan. Uncomplainingly did M. Chap
delaine receive this cruel punishment, not ut
tering a word, on his brutal judge, attributing
his silence to some euehantment, ordered a
dog's throat to be cut, with the blood of which
he was sprinkled. In a state of (great weak
ness and suffering he was conveyed to prison,
where, from an admirable constitution, he soon
so tar recovered as to be able to stand and
walk. But the sufferings had not <*nded. Iu
the belief that he hud some connection with
tho secret societies adverse to the government,
while they only allowed him one meal a day,
they prepared it of all the meats reputed to be
unclean and abhorred by the members of these
societies. To testify to his tormentors that
he none of the illegal associations,
lie freely eat of all put beforo him. After bc
ing iu prison for five days, and having made
no confession, which it would appear to have
been the objeet of tho Mandarin to obtain, he
was loaded with chains and placed in the can
gue. At the end of that time he was forced
into a cage, carried from his prison and pub
licly decapitated. His head was then hung to
or placed on a tree, and the boys of the town
amused themselves by throwing stones at it
until it fell. It is not known what became of
the body, but it is asserted that the Mandurin
suldiers opened it, took out the heart, cut it
into pieces, fried it and eat it.”
The Simplicity of Childhood.
Thoso who have had much intercourse with
children, cannot fail to have remarked with
what simplicity they frequently put questions,
which even those of mature years and extensive
knowledge are puzzled to answer. The follow
ing is one of those questions with an admira
ble answer. A child said to his parent, “Fa
ther, where does God get the color to make
cherries so beautiful and red? ” “My child,”
says the father, “I will tell yon as soon as I
have been imformed how he tiuged all the
leaves so beautiful a green.
