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. . k. 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.— The addressed turned proudly round, and while the tire of injured pride and the look of pity were strongly blended in his countenance, coolly answered—“ So was Franklin !” TELEGRAPHIC. i-o'ogrnphetl to the Gaily Muu.

Middling Up lands 12$c. ♦ Return of the Marion, New Rome, Nov. 25—Thestcatnship Marion has again returned from the search for the passengers of the French steamer Lyonaise, having seen nothing of the missing passengers since the late collision at sea. The ship Hope, which sailed for Savannah, put back to Liverpool on the 9th inst. 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. WADE KEYS, Chancellor. Oct. 2, 1850. 1 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.
