COLUMB TJBs UKUBST CITT CIKCULiTIOK. Monday Morning, June 8,18 ST. Periodical*. We arc in receipt of the re-prints of Blackwood’s Magazine and the Edin burgh Review, for April and May. They are re-printed from the European Edition, by Leonard Scott & Cos., N. Y., at $3 each, per volume. For the Edification of Stewart dc Cos. The steamboat Marengo, arrived at Mobile on Lbe 2bth ult., with the whole amount of one bale of cotton on board. The Captain said it was entirely too early for the new crop and he brought all the old that he could find.” Will Stewart & Cos., please note this fact, and incorporate it in their circttlur which they send to their European friends. Exports and Imports. For the quarter ending 31st March, 1857, the exports from the United StateH were $69,945,000, and the imports $92,- 500,000. > The exports from Boston were $3,300,000; from New York, $20,402,- 000; from Philadelphia, $1,142,000; from Baltimore, $2,200,000; from New Orleans, $34,741,000, and from San Francisco, $2,434,000. The imports for the same quarter into Boston amounted in value to $11,816,000; New York, $64,891,000; Philadelphia, $4,131,000; Baltimore, $2,685,000; New Orleans, $7,058,000, and San Francisco, $2,427,- 000. The cignr manufacturers of ihe United States will meet in national convention at Philadelphia, on the Ist of July, to tulk about business generally, and have a grand smoke. Wonder if the meeting won’t all end in smoke ? ♦ Kansas Election. One week from to-day the election for delegates to the Covention to form a State Constitution comes oft’ in Kansas. The returns from 19 of tlie 20 counties in the Territory show 9251 legal voters, a majority of whom are pro-slavery—the free stale men in many instances having refused to register their names, which refusal disfranchises them. —— - ‘ ♦ ‘ Later from Utah. The Leavenworth Herald, of the 30th ult., learns that there is great excitement at Sal; l.ake. in consequence of Brigham Young driving what he calls the Gentiles out o the city. Judge Stiles, the U. S. .Marshal, tlie Surveyor General, with their lattiilies ad a large number of emi grants, have left tin- Territory. A Snake Story. A big snake has been seen in the St. Lawrence river, near Brockville, in Can ada. It is said to be about thirty feet long, and of a light color. We apprehend its length was computed by the same rule that the darkey measured his snake, from the tail to the head and from the head to the tail, adding the two lengths together—that is, he was fifteen feet from his head to his tail and fifteen feet from his tail to his head, making in all about thirty feet. Col. C. W. Gause, of Hancock county, Ga., had his dwelling and contents con sumed by fire a few days ago. He had but recently been married and com menced house-keeping. Mr. Gause and family were absent from home when it occurred, and do not know how it hap pened. Positively Dee'tnea. Major Ben. McCulloch, who lias been repeatedly tendered the Governorship of Utah, and has as o ten declined, it is now stated in dispatches from Washington, bus most positively declined ihe office. So the President will have to look out ful some other person. Did we think our suggestions would have any weight with “the powers that be” at Washington, wc could put them on a track whereby a good Governor could be had to rule over the deluded people of that Territory, and at the same time restore quiet and order among them. It would be to appoint Gen. Harney Governor, and to back him with just as many United States troops as he might require, and give him a carle blanche as to the way he should manage affairs. Our word for it. we would soon cease to hear of Mormon abominations and outrages, and Utah would in a short time present a fine opening for thecourse of empire to fold its wings for a season in its flight to the West. Melancholy Accident. Wo learn from the Memphis Appeal, of tire 27th ult., (hut about three o'clock on the dav previous, four children of a Mrs •Smith, a widow residing near theliayou, on the Raleigh road, and in the vicinity of the Memphis and Ohio Railroad depot, got into an old skits which was moored to the bank of the Bayou, aud pushed out into the water, which at that point was over ten feet deep from the hacking up ot the Mississippi. When near the middle of the stream, the oldest, a girl of some fifteen years, became so much frightened that she attempted to leap into the water, and. in doing so, upset the skiff and threw all the children into the stream.— Three of the party were drowned—the eldest, a girl, a boy about ten years old, and a girl some eight years of age. The fourth, a little boy, by a miracle, escap ed from tiie stream and saved himself. — The bodies floated some fitly yards from the point w.iere they met with their un timely fate, nd were taken from the wa ter by persons who passed the road and discovered t hem. 7’iie Athens 3anner of Thursday morn ing. tth inst . says: “There are two vacancies in the Pro fessorship* in Franklin College, to wit: Belle Letters and Oratory, and of Natu ral Sci nets. These vacancies, we feel authorized to say, will be filled by the Board of Trustees at their ensuing meet ing the first week in August next. The Wheat Crop in the Northwest. The latest accounts respecting the wheat crop in Illinois uniformly describe the prospects as of a very promising charac ter. The cool wet weather of the last Spring has produced a very general im provement. In about four weeks the new crop will begin to pour into the graineries of the Lake shore. The Chi cago Press is assured that some of the fields will be ready for the reaper by the 20th of June. In Ohio the crops aro commonly in a very good condition. Thefollowing, from the Cincinnati Commercial of late date,. is a lair specimen of the reports from Ohio; Universal report from the country tells us that the wheat crop promises brilliant ly. The moist, cool weutber of the spring, which has cuused such a discouragement relative to corn, has given the wheat a firm set aud healthful color, aud caused it to spread ; in short, has laid or set the foundation for a big crop, instead of caus ing the few shoots that were green through the wiuter to flourish rankly and to no purpose. From Michigan the accounts arc not less cheering. The Detroit Advertiser of Monday last, has the following : We yesterday conversed with a friend who has been traveling through the rural districts, quite extensively, and from his account the wheat crop in this State never promised better than at the present time. In the counties of Wayne, Monroe, Washtenaw, Lenawee, Jackson, Oakland, Livingston, Lapeer, Ingham. Clinton, Ma comb, Genesee, and Shiawassee, he says he never snw the whent look better nt this time of the year. He has traveled through the State of Michigan, more or less, for the last seven years, and says that wheat never looked more encourag ing for a bountiful yield than at the pre sent time. He has seen it taller at this period of the year than now, but never saw it look more healthy. It also, as a general thing, stands quite thick upon the ground, very little having been win ter killed. We are led to believe that throughout almost the entire State, the same tning might also be said. The Grand Rapids Eagle, of the 15th, has the following concerning the crop in that locality : “It affords us much pleasure to be able to say, after careful inquiry, that the pre sent prospect is fair for at least an aver age crop of wheat in this section of the State. The cold snap which followed the disappearance of the snow in March, effec ted some damage by the heaving of the soil; but the weather since has been more than usually favorable for the growth of our great stuple. Although some fields exhibit the effects of the frost, and prom ise but a light yield, the general prospect is quite cheering.” A Good Place to Live In. The fishermen of Pensacola, Fla., are now supplying the good citizens of that city with all sorts of fish, including “ pompano, blue fish, king fish, Spanish mackerel, red snappers, flounders, trout,” el id omne genus, and at prices within the reach of a reasonably full purse. The denizens and visitors of the city arc also enjoying the most delightful sea breezes, salt water bathing, and other recreations alike relaxing to the weary man of busi ness, and to the jaded belle who has run a giddy round of balls and routes at the Capital or in the fashionable cities, to say nothing of the health inspiring effect upon the enfeebled invalid who seeks the sea shore to reinstate his health. When the rail road from Columbus and Mont gomery are completed to Pensacola, we have no doubt that it will be as inviting a retreat front the heat and sickness of summer incident to less favored localities. Two Men Shot. A telegraphic dispatch to the New Or leans Picayune, from Baton Rouge, La., dated June 2d, says: “ An affray took place this afternoon, at Simon’s saloon, under the Harney House, between B. Chinn, of West Batou Rouge, and Col. Lafayette Caldwell, in which the former was shot at by the lat ter, one ball hitting him in the lower part of the abdomen, and lodging in the spine, mortally wounding him. Mr. John Toy was accidently shot, in the course of the affray, in the groin, the wound produc ing much hemorrhage. The physicians think his chances for recovery very ques tionable. The affair has created great excitement here. Col. Caldwell surrend ered himself to arrest, and is now in jail.” Never take a Gun toy ttoe Muzzle. A most lamentable accident occurred on the 16th ult., at Watertown, Ohio, tiie wife of Mr. G. J. Woodruff killing herself instantly. Soon after breakfast she took a broom and went into the room occupied hy Elias Woodruff, Ksq., her father-in law, to sweep. Soon after she went into said room the family were startled by the discharge of a gun. They, s soon as possible, rushed into the room, and found her lying against the wall of the room, the gun lying on the floor with the muz zle close to her breast. The ball entered her left breast and penetrated the right ventricle of the heart; she never spoke after receiving the wound. The gun stood between a bed and a writing desk. She no doubt took the gun by the muzzle, and in tiie act of bringing it from its po sition the hammer struck against the foot of the desk and produced the fatal result. New and Costly Cathedral. The corner-stone of the new cathedral in Montreal was laid on the 21st ultimo, with imposing ceremonies. It is to be completed in 1859, and will be one of the grandest edifices in America, measuring in length inside 187 feet, width of nave 70 feet, transept 90 feet, height of tower and spire 224 feet. It will be built of Caen, Normandy stone, and a species of limestone found in the vicinity. We are pleased to learn that Mr. Robert Thomas, son of the late James D. Thomas, of this place, has been appointed cadet in the Military Academy ut West Point. Mr. T. left on Thursday, and we doubt not but thnt he will give a good account of himself hereafter, both as scholar and soldier. —Southern Banner, June 4. It will no doubt be a matter of conso lation to those who object to the high price of Cognac brandy, as well as Hol land Gin, Jamaica Rum, and other for eign liquors, to be informed, that in New York, where the “American sentiment” is strong, chemical preparations can be obtained that will in a few minutes, change whisky into the color and flavor of imported liquors. “That’s so.” For the Daily Sun. Rail Road Connection—No. 2. Kobs did not suppose, when writing the first article on connection, that he would find it necessary to appear again before your readers, in argument or de fense, but, as City-Rights appears to misapprehend me, or the types, I’ll trou ble you again to give me room, not to ex plain—for my previous article needs no explanation—but to reassert and add a few more new reasons why Columbus should unhesitatingly connect. I say again, then, that Bavannah has no inter est in adding a debt of $250,000 or $350,- 000 to her already large city liabilities, when the outlay would not give her 10,- 000 bales of cotton more than she now gets. We all know that the bulk of the cotton grown in Stewart, Marion, Ran dolph and Barbour, finds a market ulti timately in Savannah, and another sea son the products of Early county will be added to the list. These assertions be ing true, what can Savannah gain by building such a Road? Nothing! She can lose the interest upon the amount thus invested, and hold a worthless stock, provided a connection is granted here.— ! But the Road from Smithville to Eufaula completed, and connecting with a Road from Montgomery to Eufaula, and what is the result ? her outlay under such cir cumstances would pay. That such a line of Rail Roads would be built and equip ped in five years, I think ’tis foolish to doubt. The planters along the line of a Rail Road from Eufaula to Montgomery, can build such a Jload, as it would run through the finest cotton growing region of the world, all things considered. To circumvent and defeat these projects for our commercial ruin, should be the hear ty determination of every citizen of Co lumbus, and when those interested in her welfare, who have grown with her growth, and shared her, times of gloom, come forward with plans for relief, they should not be met with charges of self interest, &c. We have got to fight for our existence as the Queen City of the Chattahoochee. The battle ground is the lower counties of Alabama. W r e have lost the planting interest North and South of us; West and South-west remains to be lost or won. Gained, and our future is as bright as the most ardent of our friends can desire—lost, and we become, as City- Rights says, a watering place for engines, the depot of a few thousand cotton bales, and the grocery market for the counties immediately around us. Eufaula is, or can be made, a better grocery market than ours. The largest steamers of our river can run to her wharves nine months in the year ; the surrounding country is richer in lands and personal wealth, and their are thousands of acres of land yet to be broken by the plough, all of which must be tributary to her commerce, un less Columbus steps forward now and in vites this trade. How can we do it ? let us see. Eufaula has never been our friend ; she has never spared our inter est; she would stab our dearest interest under the fifth rib. Shall we spare her? No! we should carry the war into Afri ca. To do this, we should build a Road from some point, say Seal’s Station, on the Mobile Road, to Clayton, thence to Louisville. Such a Road would tap the trade of every county now paying tribute to Eufaula, and throw into our market 50,000 bales of cotton, and forever bar the claims of Eufaula to be the Queen City of the Chattahoochee. Such a Branch Road can be built, Savannah would gain by the operation largely, and of course would pay liberally. Clayton, Louisville or Abbeville, would pay hand somely, and Columbus, though always last, would not be least. AVe would thus enter a country already densely populat ed and highly productive, but increasing in population more rapidly than any sec tion of Alabama. I have no hesitation in saying that such a Road, completed to Louisville, or Abbeville, would bring us 5,000 bales of cotton from Florida, and ten times as much from other sections.— City-Rights says this cotton would go through, never stop, &c. Admit it; but we all know’ who would supply the sugar, coffee, flour, bacon, dry goods, hardware, &c. Columbus is a much cheaper groce ry market than Savannah, and the wri ter of this article has sold groceries to Savannah retail merchants, and expects, if the Comet don’t come, to do so again. The Palace Mills ship their flour to Sa vannah, and sell it there, at least I have been so informed, and although connec tion might carry cotton through, and it pay no toll to draymen and warehouses, yet the merchants would feel its effects in increased sales, and the property hol der in increased rents. But 1 must close. I may recur to the subject again, by your permission. KOBS. How to Select Flour. Just at this time, flour is selling at an enormously high price, it is well enough to know how to select a good ar ticle. In order to test flour, you should, in the first place, look to its color; if it is white, with a slightly yellowish or straw-colored tint, it is a good sign. If it is very white, with a bluish cast, or with black specks in it, the flour is not good. 2. Examine its adhesiveness; wet and knead a little of it between the fin gers ; if it works dry and elastic, it is good; if it works soft and sticky, it is poor. Flour made from spring wheat is likely to be sticky. 3. Throw a little lump of dry flour against a dry, smooth, perpendicular surface; if it falls like powder, it is bad. 4. Squeeze, some of the flour in your hand ; if it retains the shape given it by the pressure, that, too, is a good sign. Flour that will stand all these tests it is safe to buy. AVe are in debted for this valuable information to the Ohio Farmer. The modes are given by old flour-dealers in the AA’est, and may be relied on as correct.— Adv. <5- Gazette. Later from Now Mexico. The Santa Fe mail at St. Louis, brings intelligence from New Mexico to the last of April, one month later Indian de predations have been more numerous this spring than ever. During the month of March they had driven off great num bers of cattle and sheep, some of which bad, however, been recaptured, but only after hard fighting. Dr. E J. Barry, acting assistant sur geon, had died very suddenly at Fort Massachusetts. Capt. Gibbs, badly wounded in a fight with the Apaches, was out of danger. Lieut. Baker, with a detachment from Company B, Mounted Rifles, had find a spirited engagement with the Mescalero Apaches, recovering the mules stolen from St. Vigil, and severely puni.-Li 1 the robbers. Col. Bonneville and Major AV. A. Nich ols, Adjutant General of the Department of New Mexico, left Santa Fe on the 10th of April, for Albuquerque, from which point it was the intention of Col. Bonne ville to join the troops now under orders to mure against the Gila Apaches. Further by the America. Halifax, June 2. —The steamship America arrived from Liverpool to-duy, with dates to the 23d ult., three days la ter than the Candian’s advices. Pergian circles in Paris maintain that the Shah has not aud will not ratify the treaty sent him. The growing grain crops in France are magnificent. Wheat and Flour were de clining in nearly all the French markets. The King of Bavaria was received by Napoleon at Fontainbleau. The British steamer Horne? had des troyed seventeen piratical junks on the coast of China. The two native regiments which muti nied in India have been disbanded. The Beloochees, occupying the hills near Pesliawur, fifteen thousand strong, have been reduced to submission. The • British sustained a loss of only sixty men. A proposal has been agreed to by the British House of Commons, granting £40,000 dowry and £B,OOO annually to the Princess Royal, in view of her ap proaching marriage with Prince Freder ick William of Prussia. A deputation went from Liverpool to meet the Manchester Cotton Supply Asso ciation; when it was proposed to have a national meeting on the subject at Liver pool. The new Danish Cabinet gives great satisfaction. The American Minister at ConstaiPino ple has gone to the Principalities, it is rumored for political purpose. By the late treaty, Russia became pos sessed of valuable strips of land on the Caspian Sea and Eastern boundary of Persia. Adulterated. Liquors. The recent death of a young man in Brampton, Canada, from tasting the “es sence of brandy,” with which be was manufacturing cognac, and the revelation of the fact that strychnine is largely used in the manufacture of whisky, has awa ked some attention to the nature of the drinks which are sold for pure spirits. Brandy, gin, wine, and whisky, are so adulterated that comparatively little pure liquor can be purchased. Most of the brandies are a mixture of diabolical in gredients, caustic enough to burn oak chips, to say nothing of the delicate tis sues of the human body. The Springfield Republican says: “No secret is made of this business. The drug dealers of New York advertise openly the compounds by means of which the vile imitations of spirituous liquors are made. A circular from one of these drug houses informs the world that bran dy number one—the best sort, we take it —is made of ‘oil of brandy,’ a poisonous ether, oil of bitter almonds, (as poisonous as prussic acid,) ethereal wine, alcohol, sugar, and Malaga wine. No. 2. Oil of brandy, acetic ether, tamarinds, cherry juice, sugar, all colored with burnt sugar. No. 3. Oil of brand, ethereal oil, bitter almonds, elder flowers, and tannin. No. 4. Oil of brandy, acetic ether, oil of peach, and alcohol. Gin—Oil angelica, oil of juniper, rum, essence of lemon, salt, sirups, and water; if smokiness is required add a few drops of creosote, and to make it biting upon the palate add some caustic potash. The circular advises manufacturers to use ‘with discretion’ tamarind.-, French plums, cherry juice, brown sherry, oak shavings, tincture ot catechu, powdered charcoal, black tea, ground rice, and other ordinary materials well known to distellers and rectifiers. AVe should advise drinkers to use these villainnous mixtures with discretion—and throw them into the gutter.” The adulteration of liquor is carried on as largely abroad as in this country, and the custom house brand is no guaranty of purity. Thousands of pipes of raw spirits are annually exported from this country, to be returned in the shape of wine, brandy, &c., which contains not a grain of grape juice. Summer Residence for the Presi dent. AVe learn that the President of the Uni ted States has received and accepted the invitation of the board of directors of the Military Asylum or Soldiers’ Home, to reside in that vicinity during the summer and autumnal months, and to occupy the house vacated by Surgeon King, of the army, in view of that event. The Soldiers’ House is about four miles from AVashiugton, and is approached by a good road. The tenement is in a healthy and beautiful situation, surrounded by natural objects which enhance the value of a wiral residence. A quiet retreat af ter the business of the day, cannot but prove grateful to the distinguished states man. But this is of less importance than the avoidance of chills and fever, to which, of late years, the constant occu pants of the Executive Mansion have been exposed, and from which ex-l’resi dent Pierce and other persons of his household wore sufferers. Valuable Arrival. The Margaret A. Johnson arrived from New York yesterday, having on board the new locomotive engine, belonging to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, called the “AVilliatn Jones, Jr.” She was built at the Patterson, (N. J.) AVorks, where some of the very best locomotives in the country came from, and where the “Ma con” was built. She is a passenger en gine. light, and constructed for speed.— She is quite capable of 30 miles an hour —a speed not needed on the road, but will average fully 20 miles, including stoppages. She was ordered by the Chief Engineer, Mr. Fleming, to be constructed of the very best, materials, and there is no doubt the instructions have been fully complied with. The “William Jones, Jr.” will be a very acceptable addition to the running force already on the road, and very valuable to the passenger trains. —Mobile Register. Artesian Wells on the Plains. Capt. Pope, U. S. Topographical Engi | neer, is nowin St. Louis, fitting out for anew expedition to the AVestern plains. ; He will first repair to San Antonio, Tex j ns, where an escort and every thing nec essary will be furnished him; thence to the Pecos river lat., 32°, to establish his j camp, and recommence the boring of the i well left unfinished last summer. This ! done, he will proceed to the Rio Grande, 1 on or near the military and emigrant roads, if the country be found favorable. These expeditions are fitted out under the act of Congress, which appropriated ! SIOO,OOO for the purpose. Age of Chivalry not|yet Past. The Hagerstown (Md.) Chronicle has a glowing account of a tournament that . came off a few days since in that medie val region. It was clearly a grand af fair. The Hagerstonians, clad in armor, lance in hand and visors down, entered the lists and fought, like kuights of old, and all for the honor of crowning the Queen of Love and Beauty. Let not South Caro lina hereafter claim all the chivalry. Eastward, Ho! The tide of travel sets in strongly this season across the Atlantic. Never before was there so large a number of passen gers taking a run across to Europe. The Asia, which sailed on AVednesday last for Liverpool, took 172 passengers; the Queen of the South, which sailed on the same day, for Southampton and Bremen, took 164 passengers ; the City of Manchester, which sailed on Thursday for Liverpool, took 240 passengers; and the Arago, which sailed on Saturday for Southamp ton and Havre, took 307 passengers —a larger number, we believe, than was ever carried from this port in an Atlantic steamer. During the present month fif teen steamers are announced to leave New York for Europe, making an average departure on every other day. Four of these steamers will leave during the pre sent week, and wc understand that each will cafry a large number of travellers, whose passages are already engaged.— JM. V. Tunes. - Served Them Right. The steam frigate Minnesota, lying in Philadelphia harbor, lias justly been an object of admiration to all in that city. A few days since about 1,000 persons vis ited it, and among them a goodly number of the fair sex, many of whom conveyed citizens’ clothes under the hoops for their friends who were on board, and succeeded in the bustle and confusion in aiding the escape of fifteen of the crew. An order was at once issued by Com. Stewart to permit no more visitors on board. it & - The following, from the pen of ex-Senator Hannigan, of Indiana, will be appreciated by all: “We cannot refrain from calling the attention of our readers to the “ Hair Restorative” of I‘rof. 0. J. Wood. It will be seen that lie has numerous certificates from persons of the highest character, to the merits of his Restorative. From positive knowledge we are also enabled to say that it is in every sense what it professes to be, and we do not beOtate to pronounce it the finest preparation for the head and hair which lias, so fur, been devised by human ingenuity. We have seen it arrest threatened baldness, and restore to the head its original profusion of natural and glossy hair, and when the latter has been premnturely tinged with gray, we have seen it, like magic, restore the colors of youth and health. The distinguishing property of this, we might truly say, miraculous “Restora tive” is, that it gives to the person who uses it the same head of hair they wore in youth, thus acting in strict compliance with the first and greatest of all toilet makers—Nature. No one who has used it will hesitate to unite with us in this testimony to its peculiar merit.”— Covington ( Ind.) I‘tople's Friend.
