COLUMBUS: LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. Thursday Horning, April 30, 1857. Georgia Baptist Convention. This body, on Monday, took up the res olution introduced 4 by Mr. Cooper, on Sat urday, and after a lengthy discussion, in which the merits of I’ennficld, as a suita ble, point for Mercer University, were thoroughly discussed, the proposition was withdrawn, A good deal of feeling was evinced by the friends of I’ennfield, and the determination in numbers, in its fa vor, very decided. The discussion is pretty fully reported in the Constitution alist. Frost in Baker County. A letter from nn overscr in Halter coun ty to a gentleman in Augusta, states that the frost on the nights of the 28d and 24th was severe enough to kill all the cotton that was up. * • From Central America. A dispatch from New Vork, dated April 27th, says that advices from Honduras to the Ist April, state that it was rumored that the Uunteumlians had been defeated in Nicaragua, and tljnt San Salvador had declared for Walker. .... , Withdrawal of Lands. The Washington Union says the Com missioner of tho General Lund Oflico Ims issued instructions for the withdrawal of the public lands In tbc State of Alabama falling within the probable limits of the grant made by the act approved the 11th of March last, to aid in the construction of that portion of the railroad from Sa vannah to Mobile which falls within the limits of that State, and the branch road from Enfnuln to Montgomery. These in structions require the laud to bo withheld from sale or entry for any purpose what ever, thus excluding pre-emptions as well us ordinary sales. Tho great body of these lands are situated in the Elba dis trict iu tho South-eastern portion of tho State. Attempt to Commit Suicide. Mr. Sullivan, to whom reference was innrle in our paper a few days since as liuvlng been thrown, or jumped from the cars into the James River, in passingover the Bridge, is certainly demented. Tho Columbia Times states that on Friday last, at Helena, on the line of the Greenville Rail Road, lie attempted to commit sui cide by cutting bis throat. Fortunately, the wound inflicted was not of such a char acter ns to result in death. He was taken back to Newberry, where a surgeon clos ed the wound. —♦- - - Fatal Effects of Chloroform. Tho VVythevillo (Vn.) Times says : “On Saturday, the 4th instant, l)rs. Robert and Joseph Crockett, of this place and Dr. Kincannon, of Smyth, were perform ing a surgical operation upon au interest ing little boy, ahopt five years of age, son of Mr. Bonham, of Smyth county, when, in order to render him somewhat insensi bletohis suffering, they deemed it advi sable to administer a mixture of chloro form and ether, which caused his death almost instantly. The operation to be performed was to remove a fungus tumor from his back, which was accomplished just as he died.” Further from Texas. The Galveston News of the 23 I instant, says the unfavorable weather for crops has continued to give cause of complaint and apprehunsiou, for the germination of corn and cotton which in many places have been planted the second and third time; it has, since the freeze of the 11th and 12th inst., been too dry in the lower part of the Stato. From upper sections we learn that for wheat, which was far progressed before the cold weather set in, there is but little hope. Peaches and garden vegetables were ruined every where. Appearances still indicate the recurrence of a norther, and while we can under the most favorable circumstan ces, not expect an early crop of cotton, the delay of fair growing weather lessens the probability of a large crop, which de pends on an early commencement of the picking season. The injury to the sugar cane is thought not to he considerable. i’rom Now Mexico. The Santa Fe mail arrived at liidcpuu dence, Missouri on the 21st instant. The Indian depredations continued in New Mexico, and extensive preparations were bein); made for a campaign against the Apaches, to commence about the Ist of May. Difficulties with the U tali a were appre hended; but the Kiowascnpseos were frieudly. Kansas News. A dispatch from (Juindaro, K. TANARUS., dated April 25th, suys Secretary Stanton has published an address to the people of Kansas iu the Lecoiupton Union, in which he ssys the Administration has recognised the authority of the Territorial Legisla ture and the validity of the territorial laws, and has especially recognised the act providing for a constitutional conven tion. He presumes that the Convention will submit the vital question of the domestic institutions of the States, to the subse quent vote of the people, and thinks that Congress will then admit the Territory immediately into the Union ns a State. He recommended a geueral umnesty for past and present prosecutions, and expects the presence of Gov. Walker about the middle of May. The Search Law of Virginia. The Senate of Massachusetts, on the petition of Capt. Levi Baker and others, has adopted the joint resolution, appro priating $2,51)0 to test the constitutional ity of the search law of Virginia. The vessel of Capt. Baker, it will be remem bered, was seized at Norfolk last summer for having previously sailed from that port without beiug searched, as'required by the law of Virginia. Another Fire in Apalachicola. LOSS, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. We aro indebted for the following par ticulars to a slip from the office of the Commercial Advertiser: We have once more to ask the indul gence of our friends, in consequence of the burning of our office, and the disorder cotisequeut upon a hasty removal of press es, type, iicc. Our Press nod only a por tion of our stock of printing materials having been saved, and in a damaged condition, we shall for the present only publish a half sheet, until we enn renew our stock, preparatory to the regular issue of our paper. The following particulars are hastily prepared, and give but nn imperfect idea of the sense of painful surprise and ap prehension which filled every mind, when about 2£ o’clock, on Thursday, 23d inst., the alarm cry was beard, “the Union Warehouse it on Jire.”’ This warehouse, the largest in town, and near the centre of the business portion, was quadrangular in form, around nn open court, and exter nally safe. It contained at the time about 2,000 bales of cotton, all of which was lost. There were about 300 bales outside of the warehouse, ready for shipment, most of which was lest. The firo occurred at the hour when most of our citizens were at or returning from dinner. The warehouse laborers were in tbe yard. When the fire was dis covered, its spread was so rapid under the steady west wind, that nothing could stay its progress, and iu a few minutes the in terior of the warehouse was all in liames, and the heat so intense thnt none could stuy there—exertion was directed to save tho surrounding property. Well directed and intense efforts saved the Hydraulic Press and Warehouse, though only divided by a street, and the wind blowing directly upon it. The Post Office, Advertiser Of fice, and other buildings on Centre street, being of wood, were soon in flames—tbe heat extended across Centro street aud ignited the old Hospital, when all of that block and the block below, lying between Commerce and Market streets, were burnt over, rendering homeless about fifty fam ilies. Meanwhile the iutensc heat had set fire to the Mitcbel Row, North of the Union, and this with the intervening buildings were destroyed—most of the goods in the stores having been removed. There were several hundred bales of cotton on the wharves, just landed, which being showered with burning cinders, were often on fire; but, with persevering care, all of this was saved, more or less dam aged. The Ice house was in line of fire and destroyed, leaving its contents a pyramid of ico iu the midst of the scene of desola tiou. The P D Warehouse was in great dan ger for an hour—the tin melted from its doors—but by desperate and heroic exer tion, nnd fortitude in tbe face of almost unendurable heat, it was saved with its contents, worth about $150,000. A negro boy about 12 years of age, be longing to Mr. Thomas Orman, while in tbe act of assisting at the fire, was buried beneath a falling wall. We canuot make room for tho many other particulars, and especially of indi vidual or combiucd service, which ought to be mentioned—but add a condensed statement of the loss so far ns ascertained, and the nmounts insured.

A committee of citizens is at work pro viding means and arranging their use, to relieve the wants of those who are thus suddenly rendered houseless and home less—the poor. More Desecration. The Boston Traveler says, “The Gov ernor’s injunction upon the Clergy uot to preach political sermons on Fast Day, was just about as effectual as tho command issued by Mr. Bluebeard to his wives, not to look into the gree chamber. We hear from all quarters of political sermons preached on Thursday, llev, Mr. Ilas sall, Unitarian, of Haverhill, took one of his texts from the proclamation, “Abstain from political discussion,” &c.—and ano ther Kzekiel—“So thou, 0 son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel.” In F.ssex, Rev. J. M. Bacon, of the Orthodox Congregation Church, read tho psalm containing the stanza be ginning, “False are the men of high de gree,” and bis sermon preached against the Kansas outrages, the Dred Scott de cision, intemperance, licentiousness, and corruption in high and low places, The Utah Poliey. A despatch from Washington says that it is the design of the administration to pursue a peaceful policy towards Utah, in order that the laws shall be executed and the rights of every inhabitant in the ter ritory protected without recourse to arms. The appointment, however, of Major Mc- Cullough, a man whose history shows, as the brilliant Mr. Sparkler would say, that he has “got no nonsense about him”— would seem to indicate that if it is the in tention of the administration to be peace ful in their deportment toward therefrnc tory territory, it is also their determina tion to act with firmness in the enforce raent of whatever measures they may choose to adopt. — Charleston Courier. A glorious opportunity for an enlarged discretion is offered to the postmaster at Uniontown, Ohio, in the delivery of a let ter, which was mailed in the Wheeling Post Office, directed “To the biggest fool in Uniontown, Belmont county, Ohio.” GENERAL ITEMS. An exchange reports that a farmer about one hundred and fifty miles south of Chicago, Illinois, pot out of coal, and as the roads were in bad condition, he thought he would fry the virtue of corn in the ear to supply the place of coal. It worked so well that subsequently he pur chased a load of coal and tried it by the measure in contrast with corn, umj the experiment developed the fact that the corn fuel was the cheapest and the best. The corn and tbe coal were worth (lie same price per bushel, thirty ceDts each, and the corn went the furthest aud made the cleanest and best fire. The Picayune understands that anew institution, to be called the Crescent City Rank, is to he established in New Orleans under tbc free banking law, the capital of which is to be §2,000,000, with the privi lege of extending it to $0,000,000. The arrangements are, we learn, in the hands of some of the most prominent merchants, and subscriptions are now being taken up in furtherance of the objects. A foot race came off on Monday over the Union Course, New Orleans, between John Kingman and W. 0. C. Dorinel, the distance to run being one mile. L>ouuel boat his adversary about 20 yards, and ran the mile in six minutes and eleven seconds. The Cincinnati Enquirer says that a horse ran away with a dray in that city on Saturday week, and on reaching the corner of Main nnd Columbia, and meet ing a horse and dray, crossing to Colum bia street, he sprang over the team, cairyiny with him his driver and dray in his fearful leap. This extraordinary sent was wit nessed by a large number of people with unbounded astonishment. The effort re quired for this wonderful leap had the effect to check the speed of the terrified Bucephalus, so that he was shortly after wards captured by some Jehus, who hap pened to be iu the vicinity. The Huntsville (Texas) Recorder an nounces that Gen. Houston will support Mr. Buchanan’s administration as long as the latter adheres to the principles of his inaugural address. A car containing thirty bales of cotton, on the Charlotte aud South Carolina Rail Road, being in immediate connection with tho locomotive, took fire on Saturday last, and was entirely destroyed, notwithstand ing the most strenuous exertions to arrest the flames. The Crocket (Texas) Printer says we have upon our “bank” a specimen of what the soil of Texas can do, when it tries.— This is an ear or ears of corn ; nature started to make one mammoth ear, but changed her mind after starting, and branched out into ten common sized ears surrounding a big one, making 11 ears within one shuck, all large grained aud well filled out. The Boston Courier says, there is a ru mor in that city that those persons who have attended the recent disgusting trials of Knllock and Dalton, are to be sent to quarantine for purification. Gov. Willard, in an address to the peo ple of Indiana, promises to call an extra session of the Legislature whenever he is convinced that the members will attend to their legitimate business and make the appropriations necessary for tho support of tbe benevolent asylums. “Good morning,” said a gentleman to a sou of Erin, whom he met riding ou tho road. “Your nag is in good order.” “ ludnde, ye may say that, aud what ’tis makes her so, ’tis mesilf doesn’t know, for she has nothing in this blessed world to ate but wbate straw, and that raver teas half thrashed.” Every mail brings intelligence of some new development iu the slave trade busi ness, iu which Northern capital is inter ested. The latest uews from Havana is to the effect that the brig Putnam, and tho barque Clara 15. Williams, both be longing to New York, bad been purchased by Spanish houses for the African slave trade. The Southern Quarterly Review. We trust the following appeal from the publishers to the patrons and friends of the Southern Quarterly Review will not go unheeded : In the course of the ensuing veek the 4th number of this ably conducted Quar terly will be issued from this office. The forthcoming number will prove to bo one of the richest that has been pub lished, and it is to he hoped that the friends of Southern Literature, willl rally to its support and ensure its permanency. In order to prove to our friends, our desire to sustain the work, we think it not improper to state that we have paid out and incurredadebtinitspublicatiou during the past year, amounting to $0,343 24 Ofthisam’t we havepaidincash.s4,l73 20 Liabilities yet to be paid 2,170 04 Total expenses $0,343 24 Os this sum we have received... 1,919 90 Excess paid out over rcc’pts..s4,423 34 On examining our books we iiud the amount due 5,200 00 Profit after paying expenses.. $778 32 If the above amount could he collected, we would be enabled to pay off nil liabili ties and realize a profit of $778 32. And when it is known that $3 per page is the price for articles published in the Review, the reader must see that the work can be easily sustained if those who receive it will forward their dues. The amount of $5,200 00 found to be duo docs not include arrearages prior to the year just closing, nnd hence, we are encouraged to go on if the subscribers to the Review now in arrears will do us jus tice by remitting at an early period the sums due hy them for the work delivered last year including the number shortly to be delivered Wc are not nskiug alms. We simply entreat those who have not paid to do so, and wo will endeavor to carry on the Re view under the conviction that the people of the South will ultimately determine to support, liberally, the only work of its character now issued iu the Smith. The Sound Dues. A telegraphic dispatch, from Copenha gen, received at Berlin, states the treaty respecting the Sound Dues was ratified on the 31st ult. by the representatives of Prussia and Denmark. A later dispatch announces that the first Prussian vesse had passed through the Sound that morn ing without stopping. The abolition of the Sound Dues lias caused very great satisfaction to all cla . s in Sweden, as the trade of the count; ‘ is relieved from a yearly tax of no less loan a million of rix dollars, or the interest of a capital of 20,000,000 rix dollars. The proposed new tariff is a worthy addition to this treaty, and will place the customs law of Sweden on the most liberal footing, making free trade a reality in that coun try. The “Great Eastern.” We find in the Inst number of the Scien tific Americana description of the new steamship “Great Eastern,” (now being built near London,) with drawings of her machinery. It is confidently expected that this immense leviathan will be launched in July or August next, with all her engines on board, and will make her first trip to Portland, Maine, soon after. We extract the following par igraphs from the description of her : The ship is novel in several important respects, aside from her very extraordina ry dimensions. Tire length entire is six hundred and eighty feet—more than an eighth of a mile ; the breadth, at the widest point, exclusive of the paddle-box es, etc., is eighty-three feet, aud the depth, from the upper deck, is fifty-eight feet. Unlike other vessels, whether of wood or iron, she lias no keel, and, strict ly speaking, uo ribs. The shell does not diminish in thickness or strength from the bottom upwards, like other vessels, but is of equal strength throughout like an im mense tube. The lower portion, however, up to a line eight feet apart; tho space between being traversed longitudinally by thirty-three continuous strong and wa ter-tight partitions, thus forming thirty two separate iron chambers, each provid ed with suitable cocks, by which it can be filled or emptied at pleasure to main tain the proper trim, or to ballast the ves sel. There are four decks, each of which strengthens the hull laterally, in the or dinary manner, aud the whole structure is crossed by strong ami water-tight par titions, each capable of resisting the full pressure of the water in case the hull should be damaged and either compart ment filled. There are ten such trans verse partitions, sixty feet apart, and the brill is, in fact, designed to be separable, by violence, into several separate vessels or sections; and, iu addition, there arc, through a large portion of the distance, two longitudinal partitions, thirty six feet apart, and extending up to the lower deck. The Great Eastern will be impelled by both a pair of paddle-wheels and a screw. The paddle-wheels are to be fifty-six feet in diameter, and are to be provided each with twenty eight paddles, thirteen feet in length and three feet in depth. These will be driven, not simply by one engine, as is common on our coasting steamers, nor again by two, as is common on most of our oceau steamers, but by four en gines coupled in pairs, one pair for each paddle-wheel. The diameter for each cylinder is seventy-four inches—conside rably less than those of most of our large steamers. The engines are oscillating, with slide valves, and the general arrange ment of each pair is shown in the engrav ings. These engines will work with the nominal power of sixteen hundred horses. The screw is twenty-four feet in diameter with a pitch of thirty-seven feet. The propeller shaft is twenty-four inches in diameter. This will also he driven by four engines, to sub-divide the power, and either may be disconnected at pleasure in case of disarrangement. Screw engines are necessarily of short stroke. These have a stroke each of four feet, while the diameter of the cylinders is eighty-four inches. There will be in all twenty-two engines, including all sizes : four for working the screw, four for working the paddle wheels, two for working the capstan, getting up anchors, and pumping out ship, two for revolving the screw, (to prevent it3 crea ting resistance when coupled and the ship is working under sail and paddle wheels,) and ten donkey engines, or steam pumps, for filling up boilers. The large screw engines are also fitted with a sepa rate steam cylinder, to aid in starting and reversing, which cylinder might almost be rated as a stiil additional engine. Tbe tonnage of this ship, by our gov ernnment measurement, would be about twenty-two thousand tons. The displace ment of water, or the actual supporting capacity will be about twenty-seven thou sand tons. Thu weight of the hull, rig ging, and enginery, will be about seven thousand tons, and a sufficient quantity of coal for a full Australian voyage i3 es timated at from five thousand to six thou sand tons, leaving a clear capacity for freight of about fourteen thousand tons. If the very gigantic clipper ship Great Republic, the mammoth steamship of war Niagara, and the Collins steamer Adriatic —at this date the largest steamship afloat —were each to bo fully loaded, and then transferred bodily, with their loads, into the hold of the Great Eastern, it would appear from the figures that the whole would make but a fair cargo for this novel craft.
