CO C o >1 BUS: Monday Morning, Dec. 8, 1856. LARGEST CITY CIRCCIiATIOK. Printer Wanted. An experienced priuter iu the Job Depart ment, is wanted at this office. His habits of Bobriety must be above suspicion. The State vs. Thomas Terry. The Jury in this case, which went out on Tuesday evening, rendered a verdict on Satur day evening, of voluntary manslaughter. The punishment, wo believe, is ten years in the Peuitontiary. The Huntsville Advocate says a band of counterfeiters has been detected and broken up in Marshall county, Alabama. They were great bunglers, and attempted to manufacture bogus gold and silver coin. We learn that seven were arrested, three gave bail and four were commit ted to the jail in Huntsville last week for safe keeping. Knoxvilie Market. Tho Knoxville (Tenn.) Register of the 4th instant, quotes bacon at 8| to 9£c.; Pork at $0 per hundred ; Flour (superfine) at $5 50 to $6 per barrel; Wheat (white) at $1 10 per bushel; Corn at 75c. per bushel, and Peas at 50c. per bushel. 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 on the evening of the 29th ult. while hunting with a relative in that vicinity, Thomas Pogue, a promising son, about 16 years of age, of Mr. John L. Pogue, was accidentally shot, and died on the 3d inst. The Savannah Journal states that Mr. L. J. R. Fairchild, County Treasurer and an offi cer of tho Marine Rank in that city, was seri ously injured Thursday afternoon, by being thrown from his buggy. The injuries received aro in the vicinity of the spinal column, but are not of such a character as to prove fatal. Grand Lodge of Alabama. Ihe Grand 4*odge of the Masonic fraternity of Alabama, held its annual session in Mont gomery last week. About three hundred mem bers were in attendance.

The amouut of cotton received nt Mobile from 2 o’clock Friday to Monday evening, exceeds that of any this season, in tho same length of time, (i. e. three days,) it being 18,095 bales. The Telegraph. The Marianna (Fla.) Patriot informs the public that the telegraph line between that place and Columbus, was completed last Monday, Ist instant, and that the contractors are putting up the wire between Marianna and Apalachi cola. An office has been opened at the Nichels House. Is Marrianna a cotton market? If so we should like to keep some dealer in staple post ed. How is it Mr. Patriot? 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.

In the lower grades only a decline of J- was re ported, with small transactions.

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 !
