COLXJMBXTS: LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. Friday Horning, May I, 18BT. Daily Montgomery Advertiser. We are pleased to learn from the lost number of the Advertiser, that it is the intention of its present enterprising pro prietor to commence the issuouoe of that paper daily about the middle of the pres ent month. Success to the effort. The American Cotton Planter. This Agricultural and Horticultural Magazine, edited by I)r. N. B. Cloud, of Montgomery and Col. Charles A. Peabo by, of Kussell county —for May—is on onr table. The number before us fully sustains the high character of the work. It is issued from the Advertiser press, in Montgomery. Its typography is excel lent. The work is issued at the low price of one dollar a year. It should bo iu the hands of every planter and farmer in the country. ■ - The Iron Tie. The Homo (On.) Courier says E. W. Hull, of Floyd comity, has invented a Tie that is thought by good judges to he fully equal to McConib's Patent. The plan of Mr. Hull is to uso hoop iron and fasten it with a double hoop lock with a space be tween of about two inches and without the slide. It wont do without a slide. Mr. Hull. — If you can get that item, without infring ing the Patent of McComb, you will he in town. Another Fire in Mobile. Two Ware-Houses, containing 4000 bales of llay and other merchandize, wero consumed by fire in Mobile on the 28th ult. The loss is set down at SBO,- 000, ou which there was an insurauce of $20,000. One man was killed during the fire. The Hmall Pox in Griffin. The Griffin Empire Stato of the 2'Jlh ult., says: ‘•The hmall Pox yet lingers among us, being still confined to the two families which we mentioned last week.— •Several of those who have been afflicted with vnrioloid, have recovered, so as to be up and'about, still confined to quarantine bounds. All nro rapidly recovering, and hid fair soon to be well. No new cases have ocourred since our last issue. We have had but ouo case of confirmed Small Pox, besides that of Mr. Duffey, and six or seven cases of varioloid, some of them so very light ns to bo seurcely perceivable. Found Drowned. The Thomasville (Ga.) Enterprise says the body of u man named Ezra Hoot was discovered in the Oelockouee River about fourteen miles above Thomasville ou Sat urday the lGtli of April. A horse and buggy belonging to the deceased were al so discovered at the same time, horse likewise drowned. He was known to sev eral citizens of Thomasville as a resident of Harnesville, Pike County, Georgia, formerly from hutheld in the hlate ot Maine, but latterly a traveling cigar agent. Seizure of a Supposed Slaver. Thuschr. Merchant, suspected of start ing on a cruise in the slave trade, was ta kou in hand last Thursday, at New York, by Marshal Uynders. lie also has his eye ou several other suspicious looking crafts. The oaso was to have come be foro the Uuited States Commissioner lasi Monday. (Revival at Goldsboro. H. C. The pastor of tho Baptist Church in Goldsboro, N. C., Rev. David Caulling writes to the Religious Herald as follows : “We have just closed a series of most in teresting meetings. Between 20 and 80 have professed faith in the Lord Jesus, ot whom seventeen have been added to the Church by baptism. Dreadful Steam-Boiler Explosion. The steam propeller Fanny Garner, Captain Bird, belonging to Jacob Shurtz, of Bound Brook, exploded her boiler Sat urday morning, about 2$ o’clock, on the Delaware aud Raritan Canal, near Wes ton, and about five miles from Somerville, N. J., killing the captain and four of her crew, aud seriously injuring three others, and totally destroying the propeller, she being actually blown into splinters above the water. A correspondent of the New York Times, says the boiler was carried forward some two huudred yards over a hill fifty feet high, through ail orchard, and was nearly buried iu the ground. It was new and had been in uso only four weeks. Some of the bodies were horribly mangled one was found in the bottom of the canal aiul the head in a meadow opposite. Another had his head entirely blown off. The loss of boat and cargo is estimated at about $160,000. The following were killed instantly— Corryoll Bird, Captain; James McMahon, Michael Nugent, Patrick Comfort and John Thornhill, deck bauds. The injured are A. M. l’lack, a passen ger from near Princeton, on a visit to his sou-in-law in Bound Brook; James F. Barrett, engineer, and W. M. McElvery, firemen—all seriously. Santa Anna Expedition. A dispatch from New York, dated the 28th ult., says it has boon discovered that an expedition iB getting up by the friends of Santa Anna in that city, for the inva sion of Mexico. Wo think the report may be taken with some grains of allowance. We think Fillibustering Americans would hardly lie to the fortunes of such a leader. Further from Nicaragua. The Empire City arrived at New Or leans on the 27th. The news from Aspiu wall confirms the report pf Lockridge’s retreat. The Costa Ricans had taken possession of Punta Arenas and captured the steamer Rescue. All the cannon and Looiuridge’s men bad been taken to As by a British vessel. The Empire City brings one hundred of his men. Prospects of the Cotton Crop. The following forms the concluding sen tence of tho circulor of Neill Brothers At Cos., to their European correspondents, dated tbo 21st of April, and sent out by the Niagara: “From whatever point of view we con sider it, therefore, we already See good | grounds to hope for a very large crop of ! Cotton in the coming season; one that will at least show that production will, under the incentive of high prices, keep pace with, or even run beyond, consump tion.” It appears to us (says the Savannah Republican,) that the above opinion, though coming from an intelligent com mercial house, is unauthorized by the state of things that must have been known in New York at the date of tho circular, and calculated to make an erroneous im pression upon the minds of English opera tors. It proceeds simply upon the ground that the labor employed in the cultivation of cotton has been largely increased in amount during the fall and winter, aud that planters, encouraged by the high pHee of the staple, have greatly increased tiie number of acres set apart for that crop, even to a reduction of the grain crops to the minimum standard. That a larger amount of land was planted in cotton the present season than, perhaps, in any that preceded it, is doubt less true ; yet, it is evident, if the ac counts from every portion of the cotton growing Slates nre to be relied on, that an opinion based alone upon the consid eration first named would be a very un certain, if not unsafe one for tho operator. Wo think it evident that the increase in the quantity planted is quite, if not more than, overbalanced by the disasters that have attended the operations of planters thus far in the season. In every portion of the cotton region east of the Missis sippi, and in Louisiana west of it, all the cotton that was above ground between the 10th and 18lli of the present month, was either destroyed entirely by the frostH, or so badly damaged ns to leave but little hope of its growth and produc tion. Thus tho crop, to the extent of what lias beou killed, has to be com menced dc novo, and a full month behind time, while the condition of that portion which was yet under ground during the heavy frosts and freezes, is yet a matter of uncertainty. The cotton fields of Geor gia ureas bare of verdure to-day as the Hours of our parlors, while it is usual, at this season of the year, for tho crop to be gouo over with the first working and “chopped out,” to use a phrase familiar to tho glowers of the staple. Again, the amount of cotton to be cul tivated will be much less than that which was originally planted. This will result from the scarcity of seed in many see tions, and in others from a belief that it would be an Unsafe experiment to risk tbo much in the backward condition of the seasons. Another consideration is of some weight, and should not be overlooked; The crops of corn aud cotton this year start togeth er, and will require to be worked at the same time, thus preventing the planter from shifting his force from one crop to another during the period of cultivation, as is usual when they are planted at dif ferent periods. Should the summer he a wet one and favorable to tho production of weeds and grass, the crops are obliged to be indifferently worked. “ General Orem” —as the planters sometimes call these troublesome growths—will have things pretty much his own way upon Kiany a plantation. We do not desiro to be understood as taking the position that it is impossible for a full, or even a large crop of ootton to be produced the present season. We propose simply to take the facts and rea son upon them as to the probabilities.— They, we think, are wholly opposed to such a conclusion. Large crops have sometimes followed late springs, but it is a rare occurrence, aud in every instnnee it has been brought about by uu extraor dinary combination and succession of fa vorable circumstances through the re mainder of the season. A large crop may be produced this year, but it can only be done by a late full and the most propitious of seasons throughout the re mainder of the growing months. This highly favorable state of things is much more apt to fail than to happen. With the lights beforo us, we regard the idea in the circular of the production running “even hoyond consumption,” as entirely out of the question. A correspondent of the Amoricus South- Western News, suggests the name of Col. Tift, of the Albany Patriot, for Congress in the Second District, to which the Nows replies in the following style: Col. Tift, is doubtless a very worthy man, and would make an efficient member of tho National Congress, but if we do not greatly mistake, it will be some time be fore the people of this district will be wil ling to dispense with the services of our preseut able representative. We have no idea there is a single member of Congress who has n stronger hold upou tho confi dence ami affections of his constituency than the Hon. Martin J. Crawford. The California Wagon Road. The War Department has concluded its arrangements for the survey of the south ern section of tho California Wagon road. A party for that purpose, under the com mand of Lieut. Beale, will rendezvous at New Orleans, ou tho 20th May. We learn from the Independence Dis pntch, that a fatal rencounter took place at the Noland House in that city, on Wed nesday lust, between Mr. Jas. J. Chiles, and Mr. T. E. Moore, of Lecompton, K. TANARUS., which resulted in the instant death of the latter. It seems that a difficulty com menced at the supper table nt the Noland House Chiles was cut slightly on tho face. Moore was shot twice, once through the shoulder and once through the heart. Mr. Moore was a young lawyer of Le compton, but is said to belong to a highly respectable family in Clarksburg, Virgin ia. Chiles was held to bail in the suin of $20,000 to answer at the next term of the Circuit Court Mayor Wood and the New Police Commissioners. The New York papers arc still occupied with the accounts of the progress of May or Wood in his resistance to the new Po lice Commissioners appointed under the recent act of the Black Republican Legis lature of that iState. The argument a guinst the new act, is chiefly that it is in violation of the spirit, if nut tho letter of the constitution, and therefore void. The strong point in this argument is that the law is opposed to the whole scope aud purpose of the constitution, which in this respect, is to decentralize powor and scat ter it abroad over the state, as is shown in all tho provisions for the various elec tions—the Senators, were chosen from four or eight districts, being now scattered into thirty-two districts—tho representatives from single disti icts and not from coun ties—the State officers chosen byj the whole people, and not by the Legislature or appointed by the Governor—legislative powers taken from the same centre and conferred upon county boards of supervi sors—even the judiciary having eight pro visional Supreme Courts instead of one central Court—and much of the appoint ing power once belonging to the Council of Appointment, or the Governor and Senate, is now diffused by general elec tion throughout the State, or in differ ent divisions of it. Under this latter head, and for execution of this general purpose, provision was made for county and city officers, that they should de rive their appointment from tho local power, and it is contended that tho ob noxious act is in violation of this, by providing that all the police force of the city shall derive their office, not from any local city or county authority, but from the central power of the State. Those who support the act, claim to justify it upon the ground that the statute provides for ft larger territory than any county or city limits, and for such terri tory formed into a district creates anew office, thus bringing it within the lust clause of that section, “that all officers whose offices may be hereafter created by law, shall be electod or appointed as the legislature may direct.” To this it is re plied that it is not anew office ; that there are now in the city a Board of Commis sioners, police officers, &c., &c., in all re spects, even iu the name, the same as those provided for by the new law, and that in fact there is nothing in tho law but extension of tho same system over larger territory. The power may aiso be extended, and the Mayor of the city and other officers appointed by the Governor. Still another ground for its uneonstitu tionulity is that it appropriates private property to its own uses without just com pensation. Emineut counsel have been engaged on each side. They are Messrs. Win. M. Evarts, I). D. Field, and F. B. Cutting, for tho Commissioners, and Messrs. John W. Edmonds, Charles O’Conner, and The odore Sedgwick, for the Mayor. Tho injunction granted by Judge Davies has been so modified as to except Kings, Richmond aud Winchester counties from the operation of the injunction, provided the acts of the Commissioners out of the city and county of New York do not affect the property or police department of the city. The “latest intelligence” from this case is that on Saturday morning Judge Davies issued an order restraining the now Commissioners from interfering with the police of the city in any way whatev er, uutil further order is mado by the Court.— Charleston Courier. The Indian Massacres in Minnesota- We copy the following from the St. Paul Democrat of April 17th: A body of Indians, it appears, treach erously attacked the settlers at the town of St ringfield, on the Watonwa river, in Blue Earth county, on the 2d of April, killing seven men, wouudiug three, and carrying off four women. The Indians had previously attacked the settlers at Spirit Luke, and killed several men. The scene of the Spirit Lake massacre, we be lieve, is in lowa, near the State line. The names of the killed at Springfield, as far as could be ascertained, were Messrs. Wm. and George M. Wood, Church aud Stewart. Mr. Wm. Wood was formerly a resident of Mankato. The names of but two of the women carried off have been ascertained—Mrs. Marvel and a Miss Gardener. The remaining settlers at Springfield fortified themselves in a house, and thus escaped being murdered. Such was the suddenness of the coVmrdly attack that but two Indians were killed) and one of these was shot by Mrs. Church (all honor to tho brave woman) who loaded the guns for tho men. A Mr. Slocum, residing twenty miles from Mankato, being apprehensive of an attack from the Indians, sent to Mankato for assistaoccr Thirty-eight volunteers, under command of Dr. Lewis, left that place and reached Slocum’s on Saturday night. An attempt was made to draw the party into an ambuscade, hut it failed. The volunteers then fortified and occupied Slocum’s house, where they were sur rounded by one hundred and fifty Indi ans. This was ou Saturday night last. A party of fifty volunteers from St. Peters and Traverse, under Capt. Dodd, passed through Mankato on Saturday last, and expected to reach Slocum’s the same evening. Another party was to have followed ou Monday. The next news will probably bring us the result of tho encounter between Capt. Dodd’s party and the Indians. We have uo doubt of the result. Chief Justice Shaw and Rufus Choato. The Boston Herald tells tho following anecdotes : Mr. Choato was arguing a case before a full bench of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, when he, wishing to com plimeut Judge Shaw, exclaimed— “ When 1 look upon the venerable Chief Justice, I am like the Hindoo be fore his idol— l know that he is ugly, but I feel that he is great.” That created a slight laugh, but the next one was more telling. Mr. Choate, I before lie rose to his present eminent po sition, was in the habit of getting suuhbed when he llew too high, and it galled his impatient spirit. On cue of these occa sions, after Judge Slmw had interrupted 1 him with much severity and decision. Mr. Choate turned suddenly to a brother member of the bar, who was sitting near him, and said : “Our vcnerahlo Chief is certainly a very amiable man and a very handsome I man, but he does not know law.” That did not cause Judge Shaw to quake near as much as when ho was ml 1 that Worcester was about to publish a dictionary containing ten thousand n. iu words than any other dictionary in :..c English language. “Heavens!” cried Judge Shaw, v (th visible alarm, “pray, don't let Choat get hold of i7.” Hon. T. B. Carroll, Mayor of the City of Memphis, died in that city on the 26th ultimo. A Desperate Conflict Between a Lion and an Antelope. , Dr. Livingstone gives an interesting de scription of a tight, ho witnessed iu Africa between a lion and antelope. The Doctor aud his guest had emerged from a narrow defile between two rocky hills, when they heard an angry grirtvl which they knew to be that of the “monarch of the forest.”— At the distance of nut more than forty yards iu advance of them, a gemsbok stood id bay, while a huge tawny lion was couch ed on a rocky platform, above the level of the plain, evidently meditating an attack on the antelope; only a space of about twenty feet separated the two ani mals. The lion appeared to he animated with the greatest lury ; the gemsbok was apparently calm and resolute, presenting Ids well fortified head to the enemy. The lion cautiously changed his posi tion, descended to the plain and made a cir cuit, obviously for the purpose of attack ing the gemsbuk in the rear, but the latter was ou thd alert and still turned liis head toward his antagonist. This manuoever ing lasted for half nu hour, when it appear ed to the observers that the gemsbok used a stratagem to induce the lion to make his assault. The flank of tho antelope was for u moment presented to his fierce as sailant. As quick as lightuing, the lion made a spring, but while he was yet in the air, tiie gemsbok turned his head, bending his neck so ns to present one of his spear like horns at the lion’s breast. A terrible laceration was the consequence; the lion fell back on his haunches and showed a ghastly wound in the lower part of his neck. He uttered a howl of rage and uuguisb, and hacked off to a distance of fifty yards, seeming half disposed to give up the contest, but hunger, fury, or re venge Once more impelled him forward. His second assault was more furious and headlong ; he rushed at the gemsbok, and attempted to leap over the formida ble horns in order to alight on his baek. The gemsbok, still standing on the defen sive, elevated his head, speared the lion in his side, and inflicted what the specta tors believed to be a mortal wound, as the horns penetrated to the depth of six or eight inches. Again the lion retreated, groaning and limping in a manner which showed that he had been severely hurt, but he soon collected all his energies for another attack. At the instant of colli sion, the gemsbok presented a horn so us to strike the lion immediately between his two fore legs, and so forcible was the stroke that the whole length of the horn was buried iu the lion’s body. For nearly a minute the two beasts stood motionless; then the gemsbok, slowly backing, with drew his horn, and the lion tottered and fell on his side, his limbs quivering in the agonies of death. The victor made a tri umphant flourish of his heels, and trotted off apparently without having received the least injury in the conflict. TO RENT”.
