COLUMBUS: Tuesday Morning, Dec. 8, 1856. LAH6KST CITY CIRCULATION. Wo call the attention of our readers, the Ladies especially, to the advertisement of Lee, Kidd & Duncan. Their stock of fruit trees and flowers is varied and extensive. They are men of practical experience. Parties deal ing with them may be satisfied they will get the article that will suit them. * Hog Driving. The Chattanooga Advertiser of Saturday says large droves of hogs have recently passed through our city, en route to the markets in the lower country. No fixed prices have been established us yet for the market in Chatta nooga. —— - Mr. Samuel Townsend, of Madison county,* Ala., died on the 20th ult., aged 55 yoars. iie Was said to be the wealthiest planter in that county. The Democrat is informed that his will directs about 40 of his slaves to be eman cipated and removed from the State, and pro vides that a large portion of his estate shall be distributed among them. Sad Accident. The Huntsville Advocate learns that on Wednesday the 10th ult. Mr. Burton T. Pride was burnt to death near the Madison station, in Madison county, Ala. The brig Mazantlan, Captain Dix, from Charleston for Mobile, with a cargo of 300 tierces of Rico, went ashore on Ohandcleur Island about 8 o’clock on the morning of 17th November, and will he a total loss. The Telegraph. It is considered a safe prediction that the result of the next Presidential election will be known in all the principal cities of Europe, and possibly in India, on the morning of the day ufter it has transpired. A Veteran Voter. Mr. John Snider, of Shepperdston, Va., rode four miles through the rain on the day of the late Presipential election to vote for Fillmore. The same gentleman voted for George Wash ington for the Presidency. A ‘‘Bloody” City. The Baltimore Sun states that ten persons wore indicted for wilful murder during the present term of the crimal court. In Balti more city and county courts there are, there fore, fourteen parties to he tried for wilful murder—in every case by shooting with gun or pistol! An Unenviable Distinction. The Cincinnati Uazetto claims for Porkopo lis, (or to uso a prettier name, tho Queen City of the West,) the distinction of being the great whiskey mart of the world. The quantity of “bald face,” alias “dead shot,” sold in Cincin nati market, annually, is about 220,000 bar rels or nine million gallons. It is thought probable that the production of whiskey in tho Ohio Valley is fifty million gallons per an num, involving a consumption of twelve and a half million bushels of corn, the average value of which is five millions of dollars. .Later from Texas—Battle at Camargo. The steamship Charles Morgan, J. Lawless, commander, from Galveston and Indianola, November 18 and 19, arrived at New Orleans ou Saturday morning. By this arrival wo got the following news : The Revolution in Nosthen Mexico.— The Brownsville Flag, of the 18th iust., learns that Col. Garcia, on the 2d inst., was attacked at Camargo by a division of Vidaurri’s forces, numbering 1,144 men under Col. MarriuSayns. The attackers commenced the fight at about 1 o’clock in the morning, with three pieces of artillery, consisting of one twenty-four pound howitzer, one twelve and one four cannon. Col. Garcia met him on tho outskits of the town, and soon the fight became general, and is represented as having been furious for some hours’, when Sayns was compelled to retire with a heavy loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, leaving behind two pieces of can non, sixty of seventy mules, over a hundred horses, several wagons of ammunition, and a magnificent regimental banner. The Flag says that Yidaurri, if heminond in ns repre sented, must either yield to his enemies or oall in foreign aid. Spalding & Rogers’ Circus. The Griffin Union says this company fa vored the citizens of Griffin and vicinity, with an entertainment nover before equalled in this place. Tho actors are all of the rarest qualifi cations in the profession. Among the number was James Robinson, said to be the best rider in the world. He has occasionally visited this locality from his early boyhood, when he was the favorite of all lovers of sports of the riug and now in his manhood he is no less popular. Others exhibited equal proficiency in feats of strength and agility iu their respective depart tivo departments. The horses wore of the first quality, and iu fine order and condition. Oue or two of those exhibited a knowledge of words and signs, which were truly astonishing.- Messrs. Hp&lding it Rogers are entitled to the reputation not only of having the best stock, both of man and beast, hut his agents and as sistants are the most genteel, polite and accom modating of any company which ever traveled through this part of the country. It isnot our purpose to discuss tho ethical merits of cir cuses and other like performances, at this time, hut wo take this occasion to say, if such sports are morally wrong, the evil is greatly mitigat ed by the genteel manner in which every thing is conducted by this company. To all who delight in witnessing sports of the riug, we would commend Spalding & Rogers, as tho model of the world. We endorse the above with candor and cheer fulness, and hope our Montgomery frionds will patronize this meritorious company. The Alabama and Mississippi Rivers Rail Road. The Jackson Mississippian says: “We have every reason to believe, that under tho preseut energetic management of the affairs of the Company, the Southern Railroad will soon take its way among the successful enterprises of the day. We learn that the Board havo or dered the first division of the Road, East of Brandon, to be placed under contract, aud that an effective force will probably be at work upon it by or beforo tho first of January next. , This will be gratifying intelligence to the f friends of this important work.” Gov. Geary and the Kansas Judiciary. We published yesterday a short telegraphic notice of the above difficulty. Tlic mail has brought us fuller particulars. It appears from the Leavenworth Herald that Judge Lecompte, (formerly of Baltimore,) of the United States District Court for that territory, admitted to bail a man named Hays, who had been indicted by the grand jury for murder. This, it is said, he was induced to do on the representation that at most it was only a suspicion against Hays, and further that he could prove his ab sence from thejplace at the time the murder was committed, The Herald says: The Judge, wc understand, assumes it to be the law, as well as precedent in higher cases, that in tho-U. S. Courts a Judge, in his discre tion, may bail in case of murder. We learn complaint is made by some against J udge Lc compt that he refused to hear argument for bail in the case of others, but in this case heard counsel and then admitted Hays to bail. We kuow nothing of this, but presume Judge Le oompte had some justifiable reasons for what he has done. The Governor being absent at the time bail was allowed, on his return the Marshal called to see him on business, when the Governor ordered him to arrcstlTays, upon the ground that murder is not a bailable of fence. Marshal Donaldson at first made some excuse, but finally objected to make the arrest The Governor then ordered Col. Titus, who is in command at that place of a portion of volun teer forces in the United States service, to take the writ and arrest Hays. He proceeded to execute the writ in obedience to the orders of the Governor. We have learned that Col. Ti tus arrested Hays, and has lodged him in jail at Lecomptou. The Governor, we understand, will lay the facts before the I’residcnt, and says he will resign if Judge Mar shal Donaldson do not resign, or are removed. This is a question between the Executive and the Judiciary, involving a legal point iu which we are not competent to judge, as we are no lawyer. But the authorities give us precedence for bailing by the Judge of a United States Court for murder, and even on a charge of treason. In the case of Aaron Burr, charged with treason, oue of the highest offences known to our laws, he was bailed. Judge Lecompte bailed Robinson, Brown and others, who were charged with treason. We regret exceedingly to hear of this difficulty, and believe it has grown out of a misconception of the powers that each possess. Marshal Donaldson gives the following rea sons for refusing to make tho arrest: Ist. Asa ministerial officer lain unwilling to arrogate to myself the power to contravene or set aside the acts of a Court of Justice, even if I disapprove of the acts of such a court, and more especially as I am not advised of any law conferring such power upon me. 2d. Because I am clearly of the opinion that my act would be in violation of the law 1 have sworn to support and execute. 3d. In making such arrest, without a legal warrant, or other circumstances as would oth erwise justify it, it is most clear to my mind that 1 would lay myself liable to n suit of dam ages which might involve and ruin my securi ties. The correspondent of the St. Louis Demo crat —none of the host authority—says that Gov. Geary has suspended Judge Lecompte and Marshal Donaldson. Another and later statement, however, is to the effect that Chief Justice Lecompte has adjourned his court till after the land sales at Leavenworth, which were to commence on the 17th. Some 30 of the prisoners indicted under his instructions have succeeded in obtaining a change of venue to Judge Cato’s Court, which opened at Tecum seh. ♦ The Contemplated Duel. The duel which was to have taken place on Monday last at Now York, accordiug to news paper announcement, between Gen. Colcouria and Mr. Randolph, all about the controversy growing out of Nicaragua affairs, did not come off. Bennet’s Herald of Monday, says: “It seems probable that it will not take place this morning, as announced, owing to the publicity given to it, and nlso from the fact that Mr. Randolph is an invalid, and un able even to walk without assistance. Should he fight, his friends will be compelled to carry him to tho ground, and hold him up during the combat. It is therefore, more than probable that the fight will be postponed to a more con venient season. The police made no effort to arrest the parties, and Gen. Golcouria was in the barroom of the St. Nicholas Hotel at a late hour last night, while Mr. Randolph still remains at the Washington House, No. 1, Broadway.” From the Lancaster Fa. Intelligencer. Mr. Buchanan’s Administration* There is a great deal of unnecessary specu lation among the opposition journals just now as to tho new cabinet and the policy of the in coming administration. To all of these gen tlemen we have ouly to say keep cool and be patient a few mouths longer, and you will know all about it. One tiling is certain, Mr. B. will be tho President himself; he will se lect his own cabinet; and, regardless of friend or foe, will put his foot on every scheme which does not look to the honor, glory, prosperity aud perpetuity of the Union. Ilis administra tion, we doubt not, will be eminently conser vative in all its actions and policy, ami in per fect accordance with his great political knowl edge, ripe statesmanship and cautious dispo sition. The speculations about the cabinet are all fudge. Mr. B. has never given an inti mation to a living soul on the subject. He keeps his own counsels, and when his selec tions arc onco made it will he found that his cabinet is not ouly a unit, but that it is also a Union cabinet. The country is fortunate in having such an able and experienced states man at the helm at this important period of our history; and wo feol confident—ay, the whole nation feels confident—that he is just the inau for tho present crisis. Shooting in Pike. The Troy (Ala.) American, of the 2tith, has the following: Ou Saturday night last, our generally, quiet town was thrown into very considerable ex citement, in consequence of a shooting affair that came off in front of Mr. James K. Mur* phree’s livery stable, about midnight. Marius Thompson, of this town, assaulted A. B. Mc- Carty, of Dadeville, with a pistol, ball taking effect*about thepitof the stomach, hut strik ing a “button on his vest, glanced a little to the right and passed through the body, lodging just under the surface of the skin at his back. We know no particulars concerning tho diffi culty ; but from what we can learn, the assault was unprovoked, and, under the circum stances, with murderous intent. Thompsou fled immediately and is yet a large, no step, that we can learn, having been taken for his apprehension. McCarty’s wound was at first thought to be mortal; hut his prospects for recovery are now bettor, aud ho is thought by his physicians aud friends to bo out of danger. TELEGRAPHIC. ‘1 ojegraphed to tho Daily Hun. From Charleston. Charleston, Dec. 1. The sales of cotton to-day about 1500 bales at the prices paid on Friday. Montgomery, Dec. 2, 9 p m. At the municipal election to-day, Charles | R. Hnnsford was re-elected Mayor of the city. More about Mexican Steamer Democrat. Wanton Outrage ox the American Flag. —lt will be remembered that a few weeks since ■ we published an account of the appearance of tho Mexican war steamer Democrat at. the port of Coatzacoalcos after having b9cn run off from Vera Cruz by her crew, and that whilst there she forcibly carried oti'the collector, and moreover fired into a Mexican vclsel, name unknown. Os the subsequent proceedings of this piratical craft, our readers have been al ready informed by advices from Mexico and Havana. The affair, however, at Goatzacoalcos turns out to he quite different from what was pre viously reported, and involves a most wanton and deliberate outrage on the American ting, for which the parties concerned will most as suredly have to answer. Capt. Thompson, of the schooner Mai. Bar hour which arrived last evening from .the Coatzacoalcos river informs us that he reach ed there from Sisal on the 12th ult., and that about half an hour after lie anchored, the steamer Democrat come in under Mexican co ld’s, and commenced firing at his vessel. Pro ceeding shortly up the river, the steamer fired ; at the persons on shore, and when within 20 | yards of the Major Barbour, the commander | of the Democrat, who stood on the upper deck, drew forth a pistol and fired deliberately at Capt. Thompson. At the same time the form er gave the order to fire, which was done, and the shot took effect in the square-sail yard and hnl-yards of the schooner, carrying away a portion of the rigging and lodging four grape-shot in the foremast. The American flag was likewise perforated by three pistol shots. Capt. Thompson states that his attack was i entirely wanton and unprovoked, and was | looked upon by those on shore as an act of pi j racy. The Democrat took off as prisoners the Mexican commandant and custom-house offi- I eer. The people on shore were dreadfully frightened, aud could not comprehend tlie cause of this outrageous proceeding. Subsqueirtly Capt. Thompson called upon several Mexican aud American citizens, and in their presence, and before the American Con sul at Minatitlan, drew up a protest, embody ing in detail the facts above recited, which has been forwarded to Washington. Capt. Thompson left at Coatzacolcos bark Yuba ready to sail for New York ; brig Kent, for Boston, and brig Gem, for New York.— N. O. Picayune. A private letter received at New Orleans on the 2tsth Oct. from Tamaulipas states that a pitched battle took place on the 10th, near Mon terey, between Vidauri and Garza. The latter lost every thing, and barely escaped with his own person. It is thought that Vidauri’s suc cess will have great effect on Commonfort’s go vernment. The Tennessee left New Orleans on the 20th ultimo, for Nicaragua, with 300 recruits and arms. Financial. In New York, on Monday last, there was a buoyant feeling in the money market, with no decline in tho rates of interest, although the demand for money was not equal to the sup ply offering. The discount brokers had large I unemployed balances left over. The Daily News of Tuesday says: The Bank returns for the week show very I strikingly the increased abundance of money, j The net deposits in bunk have been increased $1,200,000; their specie $715,000, and their ! loans $950,4159. Their Clearing House transactions show a l diminution for the week of over $15,000,000, i namely : I Clearings for the week ending to- I day $156,251,94-1 j Clearings for the week endiug | Nov. 17 171,473,103 Decrease $15,221,139 i The rates tor the loan nml discount of rno i ney are steadily working downward. To-day loans have been made on short call, at fit, per I cent., and discounts at 8 a 9 per cent, for prime paper, aud 9 a 10 per cent, for good indorsed j paper according to date : and we expect rates j will full to seven an 1 eight per cent before j the week closes. The Journal of Commerce of Tuesday moru ’ iug, 25tli inst., says : There is a more buoyant feeling in the mar ket, although without any decline in rates of ! interest, or any falling off in the demand for money. The banks in the interior are press ed for money to make the necessary remittan ces, aud on this account specie comes forward ! less rapidly than it is due. The current, how ever, is decidedly iii this direction, and there j is a steady gain from the country. The stock market is more buoyant and prices at the First Board were generally higher.— Western stocks, and especially Galena and Chi cago, materially improved. At the Second i Board, there was A farther advance, Erie going up to 61|[, and all descriptions closing buoy t antly. This was chiefly on account of the fa vorable bank statement, the average of specie being $718,000 above that of last week. Foreign Exchungo is a fraction easier for francs, and dull for sterling. Alabama Finances. —The receipts of the i Alabama State Treasury for the fiscal year September 30th were $798,(1118. the disburse ments for the same period $487,940, showing an increase of receipts over disbursements of $810,062. The balance in the treasury, in ] eluding notes of the State Bank and branches, 1 on the 30th of September, was $1,991,785. Commercial Bank of Brunswick. At the meeting of the Stockholders of the Commercial Bank of Bruuswick, held at this* place on the 18th inst., the following gentle men were elected Directors for the ensuing year: G. N. Philips, T. G. Mutiitt, A. Philips, 1\ J. Philips and Henry Moffit. On the 20th the Directors met and elocted 1\ J. Philips President and T. G. Moffitt Cash ier. They have yet to appoint a Teller and Book keeper.

The more useful qualities (from O&d. to 7d.) being very scarce are dearer, but the com moner descriptions, particularly those of a dull blue color, are ueglected and prices display some irregulari ty; this is more apparent since yesterday when the Rank of England equalized her rate of discount to 7 per cent, for all paper, when some speculative.holders turn ed sellers. Imports keep very small, and our stock has this week further decreased by 31,470 hales, the American now barely exceeding 300,001 l bales, and the total being un der 402,000. At sea there are of American only 24,000 bales, against 02,000 at this timo last year. Brazil have been in moderate request, and last week’s prices are barely supported. Egyptians have declined about %and per lb. In Surata there has been rather less doing, but prices mo very firm; the stock is now much reduced, aud the quantity offering, necessarily very small. To-day there is a fair inquiry, but the sales being made up of small lots, only reach 7,000 bales, chiefly to the trade. Tn Manchester there is very little business going on, but In tho few transactions reported, previous prices have been generally maintained.

Money is In very active demand, aud accommodation difficult to obtain. Consols close, tu-day at to %, Interesting Slave Case. Hon. William A. Lake, M. C., of Mississip pi, was yesterday at Columbus, Ohio, cn route for (Washington, having with him three slaves. A writ of habeas corpus was taken out in thier behalf but the Sheriff of Franklin county took the responsibility of refusing to serve the writ. Considerable excitement followed, but what proceedings were instituted we did not learn. We are informed that dispatches were sent for ward to Newark and Zanesville to have the progress of Mr. Lake arrested at oue of these points. It was reported that, for the purpose of avoiding the apprehended trouble, the cars would not be stopped at the deports as usual. The result we have ‘not ascertained.—Cincin nati Commercial. It is a remarkable that not a white man was concerned in the above attempt to rescue Mr. Lake’s negroes from him. It was left wholly to a few impudent and excited negroes of this city, aud they utterly failed iu their attempt ed rescue. Mr. Lake was accompanied by his family, (wife and children), and they’ had with them three negro women, who seemed, as we learn, to have treated their colored brethren in their labors of love, with contempt, and ut terly refused to leave their master and mis tress. Lake came to this city’ with his family’ ou Saturday evening, and there being no Sun day train, remained at the Neil House until Monday morning 10 o’clock, and then pro ceeded East; followed, however, to the Depot here by a gang of negroes. But they received no countenance that we have learned from any white citizen, and were thus wholly thwarted in their efforts. Though preparations were made by them to make an effort at Newark, it failed as it did here. The train, however, made its usual stops, and all that occurred was, that it was not detained to accommodate tho negroes. Columbus (Ohio) Statesman. The Heading Qualification. It is said that 400 persons in Connecticut were deprived of their vote this month by the new constitutional provision requiring that they should kuow how to read aud write in order to vote. The Philadelphia Ledger says : “ Connecticut is the first State that has made an attempt to disfranchise a free citizen. It is desirable that every man should possess those aids to knowledge, reading and writing, but we should not fall into the error of mistaking the mere instrumentalities for intelligence itself.— A man may kuow how to think correctly who knows nothing at all of reading and writing, and some that can do both the latter have no original thinking power. The latter less capa ple of exercising the light of suffrage intelli gently than the man who possesses natural | mother wit, without any assistance from read ing. An aristocracy founded on scholastic at tainments may be better than one based upon property, but an aristocracy of any kind in a representative republic, established ou the principle of equal political rights, is not very consistent, nor very Democratic. j Important invention to Cotton Planters.
