Superior Court of Muscogee County.
State vs. John U. Winter.—This case was
disposed of Saturday in consequence of t he in
dictment being defective. The ease was not
reached on its merits. Tho defendant desired
to have the case submitted to a jury waving
the defects in the indictment, but was over
ruled by his counsel, who were prepared to
meet the case in the usual way. Wo are ad
vised by parties acquainted with the defence,
that Mr.Winter was prepared to prove that
since the failure of the Bank, lie has redeemed
over a half million of dollars of its liabilities
at par, never in any Instance receiving any
discount, either directly or indirectly, from
tho redemption of the circulation, and that,
from the time of the failure of the Rank to t lie
present time, lias been unremitting in his ex
ertions to liquidate the outstanding liabilities
of the Rank. This is highly creditable to Mr.
Winter, particularly so, as it is (he only in
stance in which any President of a broken
Rank in Columbus has ever seemed to recog
nize the responsibility due to the public as a
trustee of its assets.
The Wotumpka (Ala.) Dispatch learns that

Prospects of tho Gulf Road.
It is now said by those gentlemen best in
formed on the subject, that so great a portion
of the proposed private subscription of SIOO,-
<K)O has been obtained, as to leave little doubt
that the whole amount will be secured within
a short time. Col Jones, the Superintendent
ot the Road, is uow engaged in obtaining the
balance of the sum required. The diligence,
iiitormationjund tact he has brought to bear on
tlie subject, would have raised a half million
in any other community of equal wealth.
Lhe sum often mentioned as the tine qua non
ot further moveiueut on tho lino, will euable
the company to iron tho road to a point within
a few miles of Greenville; and then it is confi
dently expected that the good poople of Butler
will do something handsome to carry it to their
flourishing county town. After that, the road
will build itself to the Florida litre very rapid- ,
ly, and there be met by the lino from Pensa
cola.
As soon as the SIOO,OOO are raised, the
Gulf road will be in better condition than any
unbuilt line in the South. It will be carried
to the Florida line with a greatly less expendi
ture of money by the stockholders, than any
road in this section was ever btilt over the
same number of miles. We predict, that be
fore the Fall of ’57, there will be a rush to s- j
cure etock in it. Tbe company is out of debt
*nd will be kept so.— Montgomery Mail.
NICARAGUA.
An Important Appeal to the South for Em
igrants— Interesting Description of the
Country—Letter from an officer of the
Government.
The following letter was handed to the Frank
fort (Ky.) Commonwealth by Gov. Morehead,
at tho request of the writer, who was former
ly a citizen of Franklin county. He desires
that his letter should be published in Ken
tucky, and as it may be of interest to some of
our citizens, we give it a place in our paper:
Granada, Nicaragua, Oct. 30.
Hon. Charles S. Morehead—Dear Sir: 1
have been requested to write some account of
this country, and of the present condition of
things here, for jGiblication in Kentucky; and
as I know of no one to whom such a publica
tion could with more propriety, be addressed,
1 take the common liberty of friendship in'ad
dressing to you a very hasty sketch of one of
tho most interesting countries in tho world. I
shall endeavor to write plainly upon such sub
jects as I do touch upon, and shall select from
the varied andmultiplied topics of interest, con
nected both with the present of this country and
with its past history, only subjects as need but
to he spoken of to be comprehended bv the
simplest effort of the mind.
And in the first place, the commercial posi
tion of this country is not alone in relation to
Central American interests, and the advantage
that it gives to this State, but in tho relation
it bears to, and tho benefit it can bestow upon,
the commerce ol Europe, America, Asia and
the islands both of the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, the most important of any in the world.
You are, no doubt, well acquainted with the
controversy between the State of Nicaragua
and the American Atlantic and Pacific Canal
Company, or, more familiarly speaking, the
\ anderbilt line. Ry turning your eye for a
moment to the map of Central America, and
•ranging along the line from Grey town San Ju
an Del Sur, and then examining the other pro
posed routes across the Isthmus, I think you
will at once see that Nicaragua can furnish the
best, if not the only canal route across the
Isthmus. I think it is tho only route by which
a canal can be built to connect the two oceans,
The lakes Managua and Nicaragua are both
some two or three hundred feet higher than
either the Atlantic or Pacific ocean ; and from
the town of Virgin Ray on Lake Nicaragua;
westward (through a gap in tho mountains)
the distance is only twelve miles, almost one
half of this is level ground, and at the best
proper elevation above the ocean for canal
purposes; the remaining portion (say seven
miles) is a uiouutain rising, perhaps, at its
highest elevation, to the height of 809 feet.—
Thus, you will perceive, that the whole dis
tance to be canaled, to admit the passage of
steam vessels, is only twelve miles, and that
through a country where there is an abun
dance of timber and ot stone for constructing
a canal, and where labor can be procured as
cheap as in any place in the world. That a
canal can be built i or vessels of heavy ton
nage to pass through from ocean to ocean,
there can be no doubt, as Nicaragua abounds in
running mountain streams supplied by boun
tiful rains. The route described is tho one
upon which Vanderbilt & Cos., heretofore held
a grant from the State of Nicaragua, and is at
presont used as a transit route by Chas. Mor
dan and C. K. Garrison.
The next point of interest to which I will
turn your attention is, the agricultural resour
ces of this country, and I shall do so simply
by naming over some of the products of the
country, among which are to be found coffee,
sugar, cocoa, or nut from which chocolate is
made, cotton, Indian corn, wheat and tobacco;
of course all of the tropical fruits grow abun
dantly. Os Indian corn three crops are grown
annually, and it is the opinion of men who
have been raised iu the Mississippi Valley
States that at least three times as much corn
can he produced here as iu the best of those
States. The sugar cane grows much ranker
than in the southern portion of the United
State, and unquestionably almost double the
amount of sugar can be produced here, acre
for acre, than can be produced iu the South, as
you call it in old Kentucky. Coffee grows as
abundantly here, and the quality is as good,
as in any of the West India Islands. The pro
fitable culture of cotton here is a matter of not
•o much certainty. In tobacco this country will
one day rival tho world, both in quality and
quantity of chewing and smoking tobacco. In
digo is easily cultivated here, and when pro
perly handled is said to be as good as any in
tho world. Cochineal is also produced hero,
and various other dyes mul dye-woods. The
forests are full of the most valuable kinds of
wood. Mahogany grows in such abundaneeaa
to be used for common building purposes, and
the gum tree, from which India rubber is
made, is also abundant. Ebony, rosewood and’
Brazil wood all flourish here. Stock of all
kinds common to the United States does well
here. Horses, mules, hogs and cows do well
all over the country, and in portions of this
State and others of (lie Central American States
(the high table lands) sheep do well and are
grown with great profit and advantage ; do
mestic fowls aro fully as abundant as in Ken
tucky.
I his country is also rich in the precious me
tals. Gold and silver are so abundant as but to
wait North American enterprise and energy to
develop them to give anew impetus to the bu
siness of the world. I must not neglect to say
that the forests abound in game, and besides,
the lion, and the tiger, and t’ e leopard roam
the forests, “mouarchs of all they survey.”
They will one day afford sport for the bold
spirit ot adventure that characterizes tho Ken
tucky hunter.
Rut it is not alone in agricultural and com
mercial resources that Nicaragua, and, indeed,
all ot the Central American States, present
themselves in au imposing and interesting at
titude to the world, but in the political attitude
which they must, in a very short time, occupy
in relation to European nud American politics.
I hese States must soon form-themselves into a
Republican Confederacy, under one grand fed
eral head, with a constitution and laws similar
to those of the United States, or else be sub
jected to the iron grasp of aristocratic power.
1 know you well enough to know that you will
exclaim with me, this last “shall not be, or
some shall bleed for it.” Nicaragua has, for ;
twenty years, been the scene of civil war, and
ot tho oontests of rival factious for power, and j
ot a priestly influence more blighting than ‘
“war, pestilence and famine,” drawing within |
its vortex of bigotry and superstition the hu- j
man mind, and dragging it down to a hell of j
ignorance, in comparison with which it would I
bo palpable injustice, if not blasphemy, to
mention the Egyptian warship of a Bull God, j
or the more detestable mummery and jugglery
of Juggernaut.
Such as I have described it was the condi
tion of things about sixteen months ago, when
Gen. William Walker, being invited by a par- i
ty of .Spanish Americans possessing great pow- :
er, and professing a desire to use that p over
to redeem their country from anarchy, blood
shed and ruin, joined them, and in a little ‘
time, by his assistance and tho few North
Ameiiouns that were with him, (fifty is. I
believe,) succeeded in establishing the pow
er ot the party whose interests he earne to ad
vocate; but he soon found that be had only ]
driven away one set of marauders, to estab
lish in their stead another set of scoundrels
equally us adverse as tho former to the estab
lishment of anything like good government,
and equally a9 rapacious as they for the pub
lic plunder. Not only did he find himself and
the country thus situated, but with character
istic perfidy, treachery and injustice, they vio
lated every promise they had made to him, and
they would have driven him from the country
in disgrace, or taken his life, if they had dar
ed to do so. They soon found that they
1 could not do it. The moment that he came into
1 the country and Obtained sufficient power to
i do so, he invited from abroad, and principally
from the United States, ail white persons fa
vorable to the establishment of a good repub
lican government, and many knowing the ad
vantages of this country, came in—somoto
! procure themselves homes, others to win fame
iu the service of the country.; all of theso iu
the hour of noed stepped forward to Walker’s
assistance, so that he very soon found himself
in a condition to cope with and to defeat and
drive out theguemies of the country, and es
tablish a good government for the people,
which government continues its existence to
this day. Gen. Walker has now undar his
j command an army of from 3,000 to 1,700 men,
! well supplied with arms and with ammunition,
well clothed and w tli an abundant means of
; subsistence; and his forbe is continually in-
I creasing. At its present strength it is suffi
j cient for defence against any or all the forces
! that t'entral America can bring to bear against
j it; and lie hopes within the next two months
j to have an army with which to knock at the
doors of Costa Rica, Guatemala and San Sal
vador, and demand reparation for the injustices
done to the Nicaraguans, and if they refuse to
mako the “amend honorable,” then will he
taka the liberty to exact such indemnity as
, will teach them for the future to understand
the meaning of the term good neighborhood,
and comply with the requisites. I have said,
and it is the opinion not only of Gen. Walker,
but oi those at the head of affairs here, both
in the civil and military departments, that
there is no power in Central America that can
unseat Gen. Walker, or retard the onward pro
gress of this government to the permanent es
tablishment of a republican government upon
the model of the United States ; and we h*ave
an abiding faith that our brothers of the
North, being of a common birth right with us
—the heritage oi liberty and good government
—will not permit the rude hand of European
tyranny and power to blot out the light of lib
tv that conies to redeem this land and the peo
ple from tho horrors of civil war, and the
worse than savage barbarism and rule that
wholly forbids the idea of the establishment
of any permanent good government. It re
quires neither prophecy not 1 divination to fore
see that the permanent establishment of a good
republican government in Nicaragua involves
the establishment of n. similar government in
the other Central American States. Should
such be the case, I leave to you, sir, the pleas
ing task of tracing the beneficial results that
must follow to humanity, and the impetus that
must bo given to republican principles.
There is one other matter that I will men
tion to you, and I will then bring this letter to
a close. It is this: there are two decrees of
the Government Here ordering tho confiscation
of the property of the enemies of the country,
one of the 22d of April last, and one of lGtli
of July last. lam one of the Board of Com
missioners to carry those decrees into effect,
and it is my- present opinion that in the course
of two or three years at least five millions of
dollars worth of valuable property will be sold
under said decrees. I inclose you a list of
property to be sold on the ist of January next
with annexed valuation of’ very low rates,
which I hope you will have published, as 1
think it will give to young Kentuckians, and
indeed to all wno wish to do so, an opnortuni
ty to procure estates intrinsically more valua
ble than .the best pf the Southern portion of
the United States. Military scrip of the State
of Nicaragua will he taken in payment for
these estates the same as gold or silver, and
the scrip can now bo bought for from six to
eight and ten cents on thedollar. i must also
mention that gentlemen from the Southern
States, wishing to emigrate to this country
with their slaves,- are in vited to come ; and a
decree has been issued by this Government
giving to all persons tlie. privilege to do so,
the object being tq invite slave labor, without
which the resources of the country can never
be fully and profitably developed; upon this
subject you need not entertain a doubt. lam
now acting as Sub-Secretary of State and
speak by authority.. There are many subjects
ot interest besides those that I have mention
ed : and among others, I will mention that
this country is richer in historic lore than any
on earth. Not only do I see around me evi
dences of the former spirit of enterprise and
adventure, and the spirit which gave rise to
the discovery of anew continent, but I seo
also evidences of a former grandeur nud mag
nificence bespeaking a knowledge of fine arts,
and science, and of all the liberal modes of
life, and‘^tho comforts that spring from well
regulated and properly organized society; but,
alas ! I seo all of these things in a condition
to make ono weep over the mutability of hu
man inventions and works made by tbe hand
of man. These things, were there nothing
else, bespeak a degeneracy in this people that
might bo mourned over and lamented in more
eloquent terms than Byron mourned over the
degeneracy of the Greeks ami the fallen for
tunes of Greece. Thank God it is not only the j
privilege, but, the peculiar province and pleas- 1
are of American minds to reform and elevate’ i
instead of mourning and lamenting, and they ]
come to elevate this land an 1 people from their I
degeneracy and fallen condition. I have writ- I
en, as 1 said in the beginning, a hasty and per
haps very imperfectly, and have nut attempted ;
to elaborate any one point ta it 1 have touched, j
Much as this letter is, 1 hope you will receive I
it as an evidence of my high regard for you -
personally.
1 have writen long, and have not the time to
write as I wish, other than to write my sol/ i
your friend, and tell you that T mean in twelve
months’ time to come to Frankfort and tel! .you I
so. My best respects to all of my old friends, j

Commercial.
Liverpool, Nov. 22.—Cotton Market.—
The Atlantic with New York accounts of the
Bth ult., reached Liverpool, on the 26th ult.
According to the tenor of the circulars the
I news by the Atlantic produced no effect on the
Liverpool cotton market, which continued
quiot and in general features unchanged. In
the lower grades only a decline of J- was re
ported, with small transactions.
The sales of tho week closing on 21st ult.,
were 31,000 bales, of which speculators and
exporters took 3,700, loaving 27,300 hales for
the trade, storage and consumption.
Liverpool Quotations. —The quotations
given for middlings, are: Uplands 6-£; Or

Liverpool Stock—The stock of cotton at
Liverpool is 371,000 bales, including 279,000
American.
Liverpool Breadstuffs.—The market is
generally quiet. Wheat has declined 3d.
Flour has declined la.
Corn has exhibited no movements of note.
Provisions are dull.
Havre Markets.—Havre, Nov. 18.—The
Arabia’s advices from New York, produced no
effect. The market was quiet, at a decline of
about 1 fr. in all grades. The sales of the
week were 3800 bales—Orleans Tics Ordinaire
at 108 fr.
The Latest.—Liverpool, Nov. 22.—The

and the market and steady at current
rates. Wheat shows a slight improvement on
tlie general tone for the week, while Flour and
Corn remained dull.
General Intelligence.
There is nothing new of special import in
the political world.
The rumors and suspicions regarding the in
terruption of the alliance between France and
England have been dispelled, and the conse
quence is an advance in the funds of nearly 1
per cent.
The arrangements contemplated for the
Spanish branch of the Bourbons have failed,
and it is ascertained that the Malaga insurrec
tion had no political object. The prisoners
have heeu executed, and further movements
of rigor are expected.
At Naples a strict survillance has been or
dered for all English and French trading ves
sels. The Naples affair seems slowly approach
ing a settlement.
California Election.
The Illinois, from Aspinwall, says the New
York Journal of Commerce, brings intelligence
of the result of the election in the State of Cal
ifornia. Although tlie returns contained in
the San Francisco papers are incomplete, they
are sufficient to warrant the confident belief
that Buchanan has triumphed by a large plu
rality, (fully 6000) over Fillmore, and by a
much larger plurality (upwards of 10,000)
over Fremont. Even in the city of San Fran
cisco, where, if any where, Fremont was sup
posed to have some chance of success, Bucha
nan has been victorious. So far as is known,
the whole Democratic State ticket, and the
two Democratic candidates for Congress,
Messrs. C. I’. Scott and J. C. McKibben, have
been elected. Well done, California !

of the Presidential election up to the time of

The Greatest Discovery of the Age.
It seldom occurs that we notice, under any
circumstances, patent medicines, restoratives,
or any tiling of the kind, for we have a preju
dice against most of them. But cnr.dor com
pels us to invite attention to the advertisement
oi’ Prof. Woo J’s Hair Restorative. We are
too juvenile to require any thing of the kind,
but some instances of its use have come to our
knowledge which almost assure us* that it is a
sovereign remedy against the hair becoming
prematurely gray. It is not a “Hair Dye;”
but upon its application, as directed, the effect
is produced on the skin, which brings out the 1
original native colored hair, without stiffness, |
and gives it a glossy and natural appearance.
Wo have seen persons who have used it, and
they are much pleased with it. Examine tho

Resolved, That the continued agitation
