COLUMBUS: Wednesday Morning, Dec. 34, 1850. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. At the receut term of the Superior Court of Bibb county, in this State, Wm. Blancet, was convicted of Bigamy and sentenced to the Pen itentiary for four years; and Wm. Knight, convicted of house stealing, was sentenced to five years in the Penitentiary. By a recent extension, the Alubuinu and Tennessee Rivers Rail Road, is now running to a place called Wilsonvillo within three miles of the Coosa River. The iron is at hand anil the road, it is stated, will soon cross the river to the Talladega side. ‘ Telegraphic Errors. We have recently seen several very singular errors in the spelling of names by Telegraph. Bay before yesterday, we received two dis patches from Old Columbia by the Columbus and Apalachicola line from 8. L. Solomon. In both instances the namowas spelled S. T. Sot toinon. The Journal of Commerce of the ldth instant, contains a dispatch from E. Barks dale, editor of the Mississippian, giving the olhcial vote of Mississippi. The namo as printed in the Journal of Commerce, is E. Bardslcy. We learn from the Intelligencer that the lion. James Shields, late a Senator from the State of Illinois, was umongst the visitors at the Capitol yesterday. A cordial welcome was extended to hitn by his former associates in Congress and by many of the citizens—a greet ing which was well deserved for his patriotic career in the public service, and the national, conservative, and liberal spirit with which ho fulfilled his high trusts. The City Council of Nashville, Tennessee, has passed an ordiance directing the employ ment of additional police force day and night, forbidding negro schools and negro preaching; forbidding all tiogro assemblages of negroes alter sundown—authorizing the arrest of free resident negroes if found in suspicious circum stances. Would it not be well for the Council of Co lumbus to take a peep into the negro Church on tho Common, where, wc have reason to believe a negro Sunday school has been in operation for more than twelve months. From Havana. Tho Quaker City arrived at Mobile on llith instant, from Havanu, which place she left on tho 14th. By this arrival the Tribune learns from Ha vana that the agent who took charge of the arms, furnished by Cuba, for the subversion of the Dominican Republic, has returned and re ports favorably of the prospects of the acqui sition by Spain of the territorial jurisdiction. The six thousand muskets were placed in the stores of President Baer, tho mulatto chief, and a portion had been distributed to volun teers of the partisans of Legovia. Santa An na was still in operation to the new order of things, and had a forco of ten thousand men with him in Iho mountains. Macon and Brunswick Hoad. The preliminary survey of this Road actual ly commenced last Friday, under the superin tendance of Elam Alexander, Esq., who has general charge of the matter, and a competent corps of Engineers under the direction of Maj. E. McNeil. Tho great enterprize is thus aus piciously commenced, and from present indi cations does not appear likely to halt until it is completed. There is a warm, and we arc assured, a subscribing interest felt in tho work all along the route. Proceed.— Macon Tele. Heavy Damages. The Galena and Chicago Rail Road Compa ny, have just had a verdict rendered against them in the United States Circuit Court at Chicago for $15,000, on account of injuries sustained by a gentleman through tho negli gence of tho employees.

The following compliment to tho Savannah press is from the editorof the Petersburg (Yu) Express: We have never in our intercourse with mem bers of the pross throughout the country, met with more courteous, hospitable and gentle manly men, tluui those connected with the editorial fraternity of Savannah. During the recent sittings of the Commercial Convention, the offices of tho three daily papers, were lib erally provided with pens, ink, paper, envel opes, paste, and even scissors, for the accom modation of visiting members of the press.— Warm rooms and large clonti tables, thuspro vitled, were accessible at all hours of the day uud night. Messrs. Thompson and Withing ton, of the Daily News, Messrs. Hilton and Lamar, of tho Georgian and Journal, and Messrs. Snead and Sims, of the Republican, are entitled to our warmest thanks for the very cordial invitation they extended us to their sanctums, and for the facilities so liberally furnished. Closely oqcupicd as they were with the laborious duties incident to the conduct of i a daily paper—which duties were augmented \ tenfold by the holding of the Convention in their beautiful city—they and their employees, | yet found time sufficient to extend to us many ; courtesies, in the absence of which we should j have been subjected to much inconvenience. Their kindness we most gratefully appreciate. ; It affords us much ploasuro to render this pub lic acknowledgment, and wc hope an opportu nity may present itself, wheu we shall be ena bled to reciprocate such favors. Gov. Shannon has published an address in vindication of his administration in Kansas, lie cousidurs himself to have been a most un justly abused ami misrepresented person. Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. Washington, Bee. lltfi. The Supreme Court was again the centre of attention to-day. No more important question has ever been submitted to decission than that iuvolved in the Missouri case—Scott vs. San ford, —which is, the constitutionality of the act prohibiting slavery in the territories North of 30 deg. 30 min. It was upon this point that Mr. Keverdy Johnson argued to-day, and and in a style of forensic splendor that re minds us of the palmy days of the Court, when Marshall uud Story urdorned its bench, and Pinkney and Webster its bar. The Court appears to be profoundly interest ed in the questions presented. They give the deepest attention to the arguments, and ex tended the time allowed by the rules to each argument, and have heard but one argument, on either side, each day. Every one must concur in the opinion ex pressed by Mr. Johnson, that a decision of this long pending and irritating question, by the highest constitutional tribunal will be acqui esced in by the country, and remove at once, a source of disquiet and danger. The time is favorable for such a decision. The hot sectional contest, which turned in great part upon this issue, has stemmed the current of sectional feeling, and afforded a pause, during which reason may prcvnil over passion and prejudice. But, if the Court cannot unite in an opinion on the question, and, worse still, if they should be divided upon it by sectional lines, their de cision will have less weight than it may be en titled to. 1 think it not unlikely that the Court will, after all, come to the opinion, that they are not necessarily called upon to give decision on the constitutional question presented this case. The constitutional point wus not made in the Court in Missouri, where the case was decided against the plaintiff'. They may decide the case without reference to that question now. It is not known that they will even take jurisdiction over the case. They may decide tliut the plaintiff', even if a free colored man, is not a citizen of the United States, so far as to entitled to sue in the Uni ted States Court. Our readers remember the bloody tragedy the past fall, in Cahawba, Ala., which resulted in the death of John R. and John A. Bell.— The investigations came off’ at the recent term ol the Circuit Court of Dallas, and the result is thus stated in the Cahawba Gazette: Last week wo received information of the verdict of the jury in the case of the State vs. Judge Bird, for the killing of John A. Bell, just as our paper was going to press. Tho entire testimony in the case was taken down by three gentlemen of the bar, two of whom have kindly furnished us their notes. — But we deem it unnecessary to publish it in full as we have already laid beforoour readers the testimony taken down before the committing Magistrate. Tho prosecution was ably conducted by John T. Morgan and J. A. Stallworth, Esqrs., assis ted by Reese B. Gayle and Geo. F. Blevins, Esqrs. The defence, by Messrs, Lapsley and Byrd and the Hon. W. L. Yancey. The speech of the latter, on the occasion, was one of his finest efforts, and elicited universal admiration —surpassing the expectations of even his warm est friends. Tho Court charged tho jury, that if they be hoved from the evidence, thedeccased, in mak ing their attack upon Dr. Troy, were in the commission of a felony, it was not only the right of the defendant ( who was his brother-in-law), but the duty of all good citizens, to interfere to prevent it, even to the taking of life, if ne cessary. The jury retired for a short time, and us we stated lust week, returned a verdict of not guil ty, which was received with audible demon strations of upproval throughout the Court house, which were promptly checked by the presiding judge. Tho Court then proceeded to organize a jury for tho trial of Dr. Hunter for the killing of John R. Bell, which was completed about noon next day. At this stage of tho proceedings, the Solicitor stated to the Court that from the determination of the former case, he perceived that there was no chance of a conviction, and consented that a verdict of not guilty be enter- ed, which was accordingly done. The Solicitor then stated that he would take upon himself the responsibility of asking the Gourt to cousont that he nol. pros, the bill against Chas. A. Kell for assault with intent to murder, growing out of the same transaction, which was granted, the other side making no objection. As the impression has prevailed in the com munity that Messrs. Bird, Troy and Hunter would prosecute the last mentioned case, and that tho acquittal of Dr. Hunter was the result of a compromise, (we were misled in relation to the matter,) it is due to truth to say that they novel- intended to prosecute, and nothing to do with the settlement of the ease against Mr. Bell. Collision between the Atlantic and Ogden burg. This case, which has been in the admirality courts so long, is thus decided by Judge Mc- Lean: “The weight of the responsibility for this great calamity lies on the propeller. The At lantic was in fault, but not in the same degree as the propeller. Where the fault is mutual the damages are divided, and not apportioned by the comparative culpabilities of the parties. The decree of the District Court is reversed, and a decree will be entered that the damages stipulated bo divided, one half of which shall be paid to the libellants by the respondent. “It is not proper to remark that the addi tional evidence produced in this case since the decree in the District Court has greatly chang ed its aspect. In the argument the counsel for the libellant admitted the decree that court was correct on the evidence before it. The damages were stipulated in the court below at $75,0tt0 on the part of the Atlantic, and SB,- 000 on the part of the Ogdenburg.” Colored Rights. There is a colored Legal Bights Association in New York, organized, we understand, for the purpose of securing the admission of black and mulatto people into all public carriages on a par with white folks. The society are now prosecuting the Sixth Avenue Bailroadconipa ny for ejecting a black person from one of the cars. A meeting was held on Monday night, at which $lO were subscribed to carry on tho suit; and it was stated that the Kighth Aven ue Railroad company direct tlie conductors as follows: “If a colored person gets upon a car, the conductor must ask thepiissengersif they have i any objections to the colored passenger. If 1 any one objects, then the conductor must put ] the colored person off.” The Grand Duchess Alexandria l’ctrovno, j consort of tho Grand Duke Nicholas Nicolaic vitcli, brother to the Emperor, gave birth to a son on tho I‘Jth ult., who Ims received the name of Nicholas. GENERAL ITEMS. Col. Titus, with 100 men, for Nicaragua, has arrived at St. Louis from Kansas. Governor Conway, of Arkansas, is not yet inaugurated, having been sick sincehis election in August. The majority for Buchnuati and Breckin ridge in the State of Mississippi is eleven thou sand one hundred and seventy-tive. A resolution was adopted iu the United States Semite on Thursday, authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to present suitable me dals to Dr. Kane, his officers and men. The Buffalo and New York City Railroad was sold on the lltli inst., per order of Judge Maslen, Referee, for the account of the holders of the Second Mortgage Bonds, to A. B. l’atch in, Esq., of Buffalo, who bid $275,000 l'or it. A trotting match, the distance of sixty-six miles, from Georgetown, B. C,, to Leesburg, Va., and back, for S2OO a side, came off’ the other day. The winning horse reached Lees burg iu three hours and live minutes. The other turned back two miles from that place. This is pretty quick time. The Havana correspondent of the New Or leans Delta says that “the African slave trade seems to be proper, despite all the efforts made to check it. Scarcely a week elapses that we do not hear of African slaves having been land ed in someone or other ports of the Island.” Mr. Harrison, who it is reported has been offered the chief judgship of Kansas, was one of the executors of the will of the Hon. Henry Clay, and formerly the law-partner of Mr. Breckinridge, the Vice President elect. During the month of Octobor 18,010 tons of guano were shipped from the Chincha Islands, including 4,530 tons to the United States, 10,- 700 tons to England, and 2,771 tons to France. The lowa Senate, on the 4th inst., passed a resolution, that “the Committee on Federal Relations report a joint resolution, instructing our Senators, and requesting our Representa tives in Congress to support the admission of Kansas into the Union with her Topeka (free State) Constitution.” Some people suppose that “ the slave trade” is contrary to international law, but such is not the fact. It has been decided by the British High Court of Admiralty, and followed up by the Supreme Court of our own country, that the “ slave trade” is in accordance with the laws of nations. It is mentioned as another evidence of the ignorance of the English concerning things happening on this side of tho water, that the London Times locates the duel in which Mr. Pryor, of the Richmond, Va., Inquirer, was concerned, in Richmond, Massachusetts. A blind hand organist who went about the streets of Rochester, N. Y., with a pale sickly little daughter, has fallen heir to an estate in Wales, said to be worth $1,000,00. A promi nent legal firm in that city is now engaged in makin out the necessary papers. Wnafc Enterprise Can Do. The steamer Isabella left the Central Depot Landing on Wednesday evening last, with someone hundred ton of Shelby county coal on board uml two barges in tow, each holding about one hundred and twenty ton. Shelby coal was not the only article of Shelby county enterprise on board. Some fifteen hundred barrels of Shelby lime took their departure on the same steamer lor the Gulf City. It really done us good to laik at the det opinent of our natural wealth as exhibited by the cargo on the Isabella. Five years ago Selma imported from abrood every particular of coal and lime used here or in the vicinity. Now Selma is a large exporter of each of these two articles. For the next year we predict there will be ex ported from Selma forty thousand barrels of lime and fifteen thousand ton of coal. We menu exported, shipped independently of home consumption. Now let us look at this thing one moment 1 Suppose our prediction is ve rified—and we have not a doubt but it will be —the forty thousand barrels of lime at. say $1.50 per barrel, is a business of sixty thous and dollars; and when aided to it fifteen thousand ton of coal at $-3 per ton, seventy five thousand dollars—making a total of one hundred and thirty-five thousaud dollars ac tually dug up out of the ground, and five years ngo such an enterprise was not thought of. These two branches of business only proves to our mind what a little energy and industry can do in a great State so formed by nature as is Alabama. It is the duty of the law makers of the State to foster as far as pos sible all efforts to develop the mineral resources of the State. —Selma (Ala.) Sentinel. Skeleton of a Fashionable Sermon. The following from the Kuickbocker, is a well-merited burlesque on the style of dis courses too common in these days from dandy jack graduates, anxious to show off’ thier slight smattering of superficial learning, with out knowing how to properly apply it: Text—“And he killed the Fatted Calf.” Introduction—Not necessary to say much about tlie Prodigal Son, for nearly every wealthy family has a specimen of its own, and needs no enlightment on the subject. Divide the subject into gve heads. Ist—Speak of the calf, oud inform your hearers how a calf should bu fatted. Give him all the milk of two cows, except a tin cup full now anti then for a baby. Here you can make some learned remarks about the milky-way, the belt of Jupiter, and Lord lloss’ telescope. 2d—lie killed the fatted cult, but not only the Scriptures, but Josephus and the Fathers are profoundly silent on tlie question how he killed it. As this was more than a thousand years before the invention of gunpowder or firearms, the presumption is that the old man didn’t shoot the critter, but pitch into him with a club—for clubs are very ancient institutions, 3d—Explain why the oi l gentleman, iustead of a calf, didn’t kill a shoat—make a one-horse barbecue and have a real time of it. 4th—lnform your hearers what the word calf means when used in Greek, Latin, Chnc taw or Lockjaw. sth—Dwell pathetically upon the melancholy degeneracy of the present age, evinced by the fact that I'nfhers now-n-duys, instead of treat ing a runaway sou to a “fatted calf,” are pret ty npt to treat him to a “hasty plate of soup,” made from the hide of tho calf’s material pro jector. Uouclusion—Throw a little geology; talk learnedly about “grapewade” and “transition conglomerate.” Wind up tlie discourse with a most eloquent, affecting appeal to the con sciences of your heaters on the Duruham breed of cattle. Stampede of Free Nesroes. The free uegroes at Murfreesboro’ took a compulsory stampede from that place last week. Their depredations had become insuf ferable to the citizens, and their pernicious in fluence among the place population made them iißirh'iiß grievance. Sell preservation eotn pt‘ll and the whites to stringent measures to get rid >4 thou, and a general stampede ensued dur ng last week.— S'ashnlh Patriot. TELEGRAPHIC. Walker Meeting in New York. New York, Dec. 21.—A meeting was held in this city last evening, composed of the sym pathisers with Geq. Walker, which was well at tended. Letters from Gen. Quitman uud Sen ator Jones were received and read. The usual style of resolutions were passed, and about thirteen hundred dollars were collected. The officers of the U. S. Government have received orders to stop the shipment of arms or provisions to Gen. Walker, and the Presi dent has ordered the arrest of Garrison and Morgan, agents of Walker, on a charge of seizing property belonging to the Transit Com pany. Personal. We had the pleasure of a call, yesterday, from James Walker, Esq., the father of the pross of Tennessee, and also the father to Gen. William Walker, President of Nicaragua. Mr. W. is still in the enjoyment of good health, activity and spirits, and bears his years re markably well. —Memphis Bulletin. Hoops at Concerts. The Cincinnati Enquirer is our authority for this interesting anecdote: At a fashionable concert lately given in a neighboring city, benches were used in the hall instead of chairs. When the doors were thrown open the audience commenced to pour in briskly, and in a short time the ushers an nounced to tho managers that the house was full. ‘•lmpossible,” said the manager, who was acting as ticket seller at the time. “It’s a fact, sir,” replied the usher, and you’d better stop the sale of the tickets, for no more can get in. There are no seats left.” “I’ll go and see,” and suiting the action to the word, the manager slipped from the ticket office to the door of the hall, looked in, and beheld a sight that filled him with dismay. The immense benches extending across tho hall served only to scat each about six ladies —and their hoops ! The hall was completely “jammed,” but with an audience whose num bers were anything but large. Determined to make up for losses, on the next night he inserted the following line con spicuously in his “posters: ” “Ladies wearing hoops will be charged double price for seats.” Strange to say, the demand was readily complied with, the hall being well filled by persons who yielded to the novelty of the thing themselves in order to enjoy the fun of seeing how it would operate on others. “ Lid ye vote yesterday, Michael ?” “Sure I did, according to the instructions!” “And what were tho instructions ?” “ Didn’t you hear them? vote early and often !” TRIBUTE op respect.
