COLUMBUS: LAaOBST CITY CIRCULATION. Wtdnoday Morning, April *#, 1857. Death of a Good Boy. George Murphy, n promising youth, in his sixteenth year, died in this city yes terday, after a severe and protracted af fliction of inflammatory rheumatism. We knew George well—ho was an exception to the youth of the present day—possessed high notious of honor, groat industry and integrity. Well may thy mother weep— in thee she lost a jewel of priceless value. Whan soul* Ilk* thin* leave earthly sphere, And wing their Might to angel homes, Rejoicing seraphs, loud nud clear, Shout Joyously—“ II” Come#l ho comei!” Almost a Serious Accident. We wero informed yesterday morning by the mail agent, thnt a short distance this side of Butler, beforo day tiiut morn ing, by a suddeu jar of the car, tho spirit lamp was thrown from its place and the •cntlered fluid took fire, and that it was with great difficulty the fire was extin guished before any scrioua damage was •tone. It was fortunate that he had com pleted the sorting of his mails and plnced the bugs in the other end of the room, else tho dnmago might have been serious. He got his hands smartly scorched in the scrimmage. This should be a lesson to Itail Road men, and act ns a warning against tho use of so combustible an article on tho trains. It was tho merest accident that the wholo train, mails and all, were not burnt. Shinplasters. It scorns that bills issued by a Mr. T. 11. Ilc.gau have been refused redemption 1 If this is tlic sauid gentleman who bought the fourth shad of the season in Savan nah at S3O, tho matter, wo fear, is ac counted- for. —ilacon Telegraph. By reference to an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that Mr. llogan has determined to freeze out of cir culation liis entire issue. That shad rout seems to stick our klncon cotemporary. Well, gentlemen, if you nro satisfied withy.our /rsfshad wo certainly have no right to object. Tho fisherman thought differently when he drew it out of the water. The first fish he recognised as the white thad camo to Columbus. Fishermen know best. Cause of the IPire—Some facts. Thu Montgomery Mail understands from a reliable gentleman tlmt Mr. Orton, the proprietor of tho Circus, whoso horses (four) were burned in tho stables, Sunday’ morning, believes that the stables wero fired by n man who was pursuing him.— What strengthens the idea of tho firo bo iug intentionally set, is tliat one of the •irons horses wag found hitched to the hasp of tho back shed gate, whereby for a considerable time it was impossible to open it. The number of horses destroyed is now variously stated: 24,26,26. Bob Logic, the Trotting Stallion, was a heavy loss to Mr. Hitchcock, who was offered SB,OOO for him a few days previous to tho fire. Thu Advertiser learns there was no in surance on any of tho property burnod. The dwelling and out houses, nud most of tho furniture of Mr. Ephraim Oats, •bout six miles from Abbeville, Henry county, Ala., wero consumed by firo last W*ek. ——. ♦ Not Calloway. The Enfaula Spirit says tho man arrest ed at Mobile, turns out not to bo Calloway the murderer of Laird, although in some respects, there was a striking resemblance between thorn. Tho friends of the de ceased sent a gentleman well acquainted with Calloway'to Mobile, to identify him, and tho result loaves no doubt that a mis take was committed. - ■ The Montgomery Advertiser announces the accession of Thos. B. Cooper, of Cher okee county, Ala., to the Buchanan De mocracy. Wo know Thomas well, and thought we never know a moro devoted and working Whig. Such losses are not desirable; at least wo didn’t think so when wo used to work iu the political harness. James Murphy and James Pynes, Esqs., have accepted nominations to represent the Democracy of Henry oounty, Alalia mu, in the representative branch of the Legislature of that State. They are pop ulur men in their county, of considerable legislative experience, and will give their opponents some trouble if an attempt be made to head them off. An A vet i# Visitor. The Louisville Journal says a strange bird of the pelican species was killed last Wednesday, about two miles above that •ity on tho Ohio river. It is snowy white, measure# over 11 feet from tip to tip of the wings, and about 8 feet from the tip of the beak to the tip of the tail. Upon the back there is a singular excrcscnce •uggcistivo of an iceberg. It is evidently a stray visitor from the Arctic regions.— It# presence iu Kentucky is supposed to have some mysterious conuection with the long-protracted eohl weather. The Professorship of Anatomy in the University of Louisiana has been tendered to nud accepted by Dr. J. C. Nott, of Mo bile. The duties commence early iu No vember, at which time the Dootor will remove to New Orleans. In noticing tho appointment tho Mobile Register says: “If anything can com pensate for the loss we sustain by his re moval it is tbo broader field afforded by his new position for tho exercise of those powers which havo so long adorned the profession of medicine and made national the name of Mobile.” “Col. W. is a fine .looking man, istn’t he.!” said an old friend of ours the other day. “Yes,” replied another, “I was taken for him one time.” “You 1 why you are as ugly ns sin!” “I don’t care for that —I endorsed bis note, and I was taken for hi y the sher iff.*’ Paper Towns. The Nebraska papers caution the public against the deceptious schemes of various persons in the East who arc advertising the sale of lots in that Territory which have no existence, and are never likely to have. The Louisville Journal has been shown the prospectus of one of these sham en terprises cmnuating from tho land of wooden nutmegs, by which a number of citizens in Kentucky havo been deceived. If people desire to invest in Western lands they should do so after personal in vestigation. E. G. Eastman, one of the editors of the Nashville Union, has been appointed Gen eral Mail Agcut for the South-West. This is anew office, created by the present Postmaster General, and its duties nrc principally to examine and superintend the various mail routes, and see that they are arranged so as to more fully accom modate the people. Major Eastman is abundantly competent to the duties of the office, and can add much to the efficiency of the service by a thorough overhauling of the mail routes and connections. Wc learn also that Col. Barclay Martin, of Tennessee, succeeds Dr. Win. M. Mur phy ns Special Mail Agent for the West. Mr. George M. Bright takes Col. Martin’s placo as agent for Kentucky and Ten nessee. Texas. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph con cludes an article upon the resources of Texas, the youug giant of the South, with tho following suggestive remarks: “Our soil is capable of supplying the material for clothing and feeding tho American continent. We can produce su gar enough to sweeten the whole country, tobacco enough to fill the pipes, snuff boxes and lantern jaws of the universal Yankee nation; and last, though not least, men of the right stamp, enough to rule the world in field, and court, and bower! “Our imagination is, at least, tolerable; but it utterly fails to comprehend the fu ture possible greatness of Texas. Facts outreach the utmost scope of the imagina tion. Oup products will nil rate in mil lions, and our dollars income in tens of millions. What man is there who is not rondy to engage in the noble and glorious undertaking of developing these vast, un equalled resources ? “Wo are not fond of anticipating the picture of a dissolution of the Union; the severing into fragments of tho Union; the sovering into fragments of this great goverumeut; the destruction of tho hopes of patriots for the last eigtity years—the ruin of the only real successful Republic tho world lias ever tried. “ Vet, if tiiese things must be, if nortbern fanaticism will drive us to this ns tbo only alternative, iu the maintenance of our independence and true Democracy, as well as the very exis tence of tho South, we say let tho end come, and Texas at least shall find the re sources of her future success and great ness within her Borders. Os all States of tho Union, this would suffer least from tho catastrophe.” A Puff from Lord Palmerston. In a speech of Lord Palmerston, after the commencement of the recent English elections, he spoke ns follows of the con duct of our naval commander in the Chi nese war : We are often told to look to our cousins in the United States as models of conduct, aud there are some things iu which they might just ns well look to us (a laugh,) but if we beg of the advocates of the poaco to address themselves with “eyes right” to tho United States, pray what did their commander do in this very difficulty in China in comparison with our officers civil and naval? Why, their was a boat belonging to one of tiieir ships of war fired at. Well, that was a great iusult, but there might have been an excuse made for it that wo were engaged in these hos tilities with China, and it might have been said that this American was taken for an English boat. It is true thnt the officers in that boat waved the American flag, but the Chinese might have said that is a well known strategy of war, nud you wave the American ting to deceive us; we believed it was an English boat, and, there fore, fired at it But did tho American commander, like Sir Michael Seymour and Sir John Bowring, demand an apolo gy, and demand that a similar thing should not occur again ? Not the least in the world. lie inverted the usual course which is said to be characteristic of ener gy—a word and a blow'—lie put it thus—a blow aud a word—(cheers ami laughter.) lie began to knock down the fort, and after destroying thnt fort he sent to the Com missioner to say that au insult had been offered to bis flag, and he hoped for an apology, (cheers.) and an assurance to the effect that it would not happen again (cheers;) and he gave twenty-four hours for this apology and explanation to be sent to him: but before these twenty-four hours the ship which was lying near this fort saw something or other going on which the officer shrewdly imagined were for re newed defence, if not for renewed attack. Well, this American officer, without wait ing or writing to the United States to know what to do—without waiting orders from Washington—he did not wait even for the twenty-four hours lo expire, but ho said, “No, no, Mr. Chinaman, this won’t do: you uro throwing up fresh bat teries and putting in fresh guns,” and he comtneuced the demolition of the fort, nnd took possession of these guns before the fine had expired, which he had given tbo Chinese Commissioner in order to make his apology and explanation. (Cheers.) This (says the Now York Mirror) is tho kind of talk and act which Young Eng land nnd Young America love as dearly as nn Irishman a shilelnh and a “ free fight” “ Think of It.” Do not live in dark rooms. Light fades the carpet; but it feeds tho flower. No living animal or vegetable can enjoy health in darkness. Light is almost as necessary as air, aud a brown tan is far preferable, even as a matter of beauty, to sickly pale ness of complexion. Mark this advice, all ye ladies, who are so fond of living in “dark parlors.” .Colored Churches. The “Springfield African Church,” of Augusta, has raised, the past year, by di rect contributions of its members, the sum of $730 60, for the expenses of the church, and for various charities, besides supporting their pastor. In addition to this, they have erected a chapel on a brick foundation, which has been painted and put in order. In accomplishing this last work, they have, however, received some assistance from thtir white friends. Trial Trip of the Steamship Vanderbilt. The first class steamship Vanderbilt, recently built by J. Simonson for Commo dore Vanderbilt, at a cost of nearly one million dollars, made a trial trip on Sat urday afternoon. She started from her wharf, foot of Charlton street, North River, at 3J o’clock—steamed slowly down the Bay, rounded to at Sandy Hook, and returned, arriving at Castle Garden precisely at six o’clock. She is reported to have run from the Southwest Spit to Castle Garden, 17 mi(es, in 65 minutes, against the ebb tide, a speed never before equalled. She had her coals on board, (050 tons) the ship drawing 17 feet 9 inches water. The pressure of steam was 18 lbs. per square inch, cut off’ at half stroke of pistons. The number of revolu tions was 17 per minute. This perform ance exceeded expectation, and gives promise of great speed, the full power of the engines not being used on this occa sion. The ship was remarkably steady, solid, aud free from jarring motion. The engines worked with regularity. The ves sel is of uncommon strength, and well ap pointed. The spaciousness of the buloous and state-rooms, and elegance of furnish ing, wero greatly praised. The dimensions cf hull are as follows: Tonnage, carpenter’s measurement, 5,268 tons; length, 340 feet; breadth of beam, 40 feet; dcptii of hold, 33 feet. Her draft of water, loaded, is 20 feet. The hull is built with seven solid, permanent water tight comportments. The ship has two walking beam low pressure engines—cyl inders each 00 inches in diameter, and 12 feet stroke of pistoms—built at the Allaire Works. There are four tubular boilers, each 30 feet long and 14 feet wide, and each has 8 furnaces. The estimated con sumption of coal is 100 tons per 24 hours. The paddle wheels aro 42 feet in diame ter, and 10 feet face, having 8 feet dip at 20 feet draft of water. Capacity of coal bunkers 1,400 tons; capacity of cargo hold 1,200 tons. The number of state room berths is 400. The Vanderbilt is to start for Havre via Southampton, May 6, and it is hoped she will regain the laurels won from our steamers by the British steamer Persia. Tho Vanderbilt will be commanded by Capt. David L. Wilcox, of Philadelphia. — N. Y. Commercial. The National Intelligencer, referring to the proposed emigration to the remain ing Scminoles of Florida, says: ‘•ln August last the government of the United States concluded a treaty, which superseds all former treaties, with the Creek and Seminole Indians residing West of the Mississippi river, wherein provi sion is made for the peaceable withdraw al of the Scminoles front the domination of the Creeks ; for the settlement by each tribe within plainly defined territorial limits; and for the exertions of means of advico and persuasion by all the parties on the Seminolcs yet in Florida to induce their quiet emigrations to tho country West of the Mississippi. During the win ter the relations of the United States and the Florida Indians have been unfriendly; but it is now again proposed by the gov ernment, and a belief in the practicability of the proposition is sincerely entertained, to cease all hostile pressure, and once more approach them with the olive-branch in hand. These efforts will be made un der the auspices of the Department of the Interior, and the Secretary has according ly authorized the Superintendent of the Southern superintcudency, Mr. Rector, aud the agent of the Creeks, Mr. Garrett, soon after the stipulated money payments have been made, to organize a delegation of Creeks nnd Western Seminoles, under the 10th article of the treaty, and proceed to Florida to induce the remaining Semi noles peaceably to emigrate. The neces sary arrangements will require several months to mature, and thus it will not be before Autumn tlmt the mission can be actually undertaken. Now that the Sem inoles are independent of the Creeks, and will have a country of their own for their quiet and undivided possesion, it is thought the principle objection to the re moval has been taken away. Those other stipulations of the above mentioned trea ty, whereby tho United States engage to furnish the ra united tribe with liberal means to commence ami improved politicul and social existence, cannot but tend also to a favorable result.” A Noble and Philanthropic Donation. A number of patriotic gentlemen of Philadelphia have purchased Sedgely Park for $125,000, of which SOO,OOO have been paid, the rest remaining charged upon the premises, aud presented it to the city, to be used for this purpose forever, for tho health and enjoyment of the people. This gives a continuous park from Fairmount to Girard Bridge, or a space containing 1104 acres. The committee who reported the proposition recommendod the Coun cils to accept of the offer. The names of the principal contributors are: Henry Cope, $10,000; Alfred Cope, $10,000; M. Newkirk, $5,000; F. J. Drecr, $5,000; Joseph Harrison, $2,000; Eli K. Price, $2,000; N. B. Browne, $1,000; Samuel 11. Carpenter, $1,000: John J. Ridgway, SI,OOO. 1 think it will bo admitted this is doing the thing handsomely, and no better recommendation is suggested by it than “go thou nnd do likewise,” to the wealthy philanthropist nnd patriot every where, who live in large cities and would see healthy poor people nnd hear laugh ing children.— Cor. Baltimore American. A Groat Copper Nugget. A late number of the Miner, published in the Lake Superior copper region, gives an accout of a large mass of pure copper discovered in a Minnesota mine. It is 47 feet in length, with an average width of 124 feet, nnd a thickness of BJ. Those dimensions give it a cubic coutent equal to about 2,01 K) cubic feet, and this amount of pure copper would weigh 540 tons. It resists the action of powder, and is now being cut up for removal. About thirty men are cugaged upon it, and more will bo put upon it soon. If it contains 00 per cent, of pure copper, it will turn out about 500 tons, worth about 800,000. — The paper from which we take these state ments says that there are at least 2,000 tons of copper in sight within a few feet of the points described. Return of the Poles. The Tribuue states that Messrs. Grin nell & Minturn have offered a free passage in the Europenn packets to all Polish ex iles now in this country, who may wish to avail themselves of the general amnesty granted by the Emperor Alexander 11, on bis Coronation. Most of the exiles in the United States were 100 poor to pay tiieir own expenses. Letters from those wlu have arrived in Poland, state that tl e amnesty is carried out to the fullest ex tent by the Government. German papers give aocouuts of scores of exiles wend ng their way to their native land, everywhere cheered and aided by the German people. There is no doubt, however, that the ma jority of the Poles who have been for any length of time in the United States, will prefer to remain here. A Tale of the Yellow Fever. A Sketch from the Note Book of Baune Todd. BY GRANT TBOKBURN. In September, 1805, the yellow fever prevailed to a fe&ful extent in New Y’ork. As I never left the city in fever times, 1 was sitting in my tent door in the cool of the day. 1 beheld a strange man moving front the south, uud wending his way northward. He walked in the middle of the street, aud was reading the signs on the right aud left. He paused in front of my door. As he stepped inside—“Mr. Thdrburn,” said he. “Where did you get my name?” I in quired. “I saw it over the door,” said he. “I have just come ou shore from the ship Draper, from Liverpool lam a carpen ter by trade. My name is Robert Hoe. I am now in my eighteenth year.” “Robert were your indentures fulfilled before you left England ?” says I. “I never was bound—l learned the trade with my father,” he replied. “1 can find no work. I have no money.— Can you recommend me to a house in a healthy part of tho city, wht-ro I may board till I get employment ?” He was the picture of honest simplici ty. My heart warmed towards him, for I knew the heart of a stranger, having been a stranger myself. I gave him a chair and went up stairs Says I: “Gude wife, a stranger standeth at the door, shall we take him in ?” “If thee pleases,” she answered. “If he takes the fever will thee help me to nurse him ?” “I will!’, she replied. “Thank you, my dear,” said I; “for this God will bless you !” I kept him home as much as possible. The fever seized him, however, before he was o week in my house. I got tho best medical advice. My wife and I. nursed him. On the fourth day, generally the crisis, he was under the operation of pow erful medicine. The white of his eyes and his clear skin were as yellow as the gold of Mexico. The burning fever was coursing through his veins and drinking up his English blood. Ho looked wildly on my fa’ce. “Ob, Mr. Thorburn, Mr. Thorburn, I shall die! I never can stand this!” “Die, Robert?” says I; “we must all die. But you wont die this week !” Iu this I spoke unadvisedly, but I tho’t with Pope Pius the Seventh, the end would sanctify the means. (Fancy kills and fancy cures.) I knew there would be a lull in the fever, when the medicine ceased operating, and I wished to per suade him to live, if possible. While con versing, he dropped asleep. He slept two hours. I felt his pulse when he a woke. “Tut!” says I. “Robert, you are fifty per cent, better already. I hope you have many years to live, and become a master builder—married to one of our ‘bonnie Y’ankee Lassies.’ I hope to carry your grand children in my arms, before you die.” (In 1846, this prophecy was fulfilled to the letter.) From that hour, tho fever left him.— He became a respectable master builder. It was he who made the grand improve ment in tho printing press. His sons and grandsons continne the business, and aro making further improvements. He died in 1813; but his name will live while types are set and printers breathe. Books, which, previous to this improve ment, sold for one dollar, can now be bought for fifty cents. Some of the type setting fraternity will be pleased to hear where Hoe lived, moved and had his be ing. _ A vessel was constructed iu New York some time ago, with knees of bent timber. The vessel recently returned to New l T ork from Europe, and her master reports most favorably as to the bent knee. They have beeu subjected to a severe test, but have suffered not the slightest displacement.— While in Glasgow, the vessel was visited by deputations of shipbuilders from that city and London, whose praise of her pe culiar construction was unqualified.— Natural ship knees are becoming so scarce, that for repairing an American ship at Liverpool recently, it vas necessary to send to the United States for knees. Mines of Northern Mexico. A correspondent of the Mexican Extra ordinary gives an interesting account of the mines of Sonora, Arizona and Sinaloa, “throughout their whole extent, deep be neath mountain ridges and river courses, one continuous chain of gold aud silver lodes.” The Apache Indians, according to the writer, have hitherto prevented the exploration of this couutry, whose mines would “ purchase California with her mountains of gold.” A rich country, surely.
