COLXJMBUB: LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. Wednesday Morning, Spt. 0, 1857. The Demopolis (Ala.) Canebrake Ga zette, of tbc 4th inst., nays the complaint ia general among planters visiling that place from the Canebrake, of the ravages 1 of the boll worm. They report consider able damage. We heard considerable complaint yes- ; terday, on the part of planters from the j country adjacent to Columbus, of the des tructive operations of the cotton destroy ers. One week, they say, has made a very great difference in the prospect of yield, and that now it is extremely doubt ful, even with a late fall, whether they cun make two thirds of an average crop. We met last Sunday, at l'ino Knot Springs, a gentleman who plants about 20 miles South East of Columbus, who has been bragging on his cotton tho en tire Summer. He says about ten days previous he passed through his fields, and from the prospects presented, he doubted whether he should be. able to gather his crop. On Saturday, lie went into the field where his hands were picking, and found a great change had taken plnce.— The hot, dry days of last week had wilted the top crop made by the excessive rains, and the young bolls and forms were fast disappearing, and that the prospect for two-thirds of a crop was extremely pre carious. Mr. Elam’s Letter of Acceptance. Mr. Elnm, the American candidate for Congress in the Second District, in his letter accepting the nomination, takes the following broad ground in favor of free trade and direct taxation: “I am unequivocally in favor of free trade and direct taxation. Ist. Because by that means tho burden of taxation would be greatly lessened. 2dly. Be cause that tho expenditures of the Gov ernment would bo brought within eco nomical limits. Silly. It would explode tho doctrine of internal improvements by the General Government. 4thly. The proceeds of the public lands would then enure to tho benefit of all the States alike.” How this doctriuo will set upon the political stomachs of his American friends we are unable to say, as so far as we have noticed, the press of that party, with one exception, are as dumb as oysters about Mr. Elam’s rather novel position, for an American, on this question. We would really like to know whether they endorse it or not, not that we care one straw about his position, or his party’s, or anybody else’s, but curiosity only, prompts the inquiry as to how they stand upon the question. New Paper In tllacvn. The Macon Telegraph contains the prospectus of anew paper shortly to be commenced in that city, to be called The State Press. It will be issued weekly at two dollars per annum in advance, and printed with new type on a large sheet. It will be edited by Mr. E. C. ltowland, a young man of fine natural abilities and rare literary attainments, and we doubt not the Press will at an early day, under his management, take front rank in the Democratic party as ono of its ablest de defenders. We take the foilwing extract from tho prospectus, as foreshadowing the policy of the paper : In politics, The State Press will be long to the Southern Rights Democratic School. While lam in favor of the pre servation of tho Union on the basis of the Constitution, as a Southerner by birth and education I naturally consider tho lights, tho interests, and tho honor of the South as paramount to all other consid erations. Hence in tho management of the paper my motto will be “Equality in tho Union, or Independence out of it.” But, in my humble judgment, there is but ono effectual means of preserving the Union consistently with tho constitution al rights of tho South, and therefore I will zealously advocate tho policy and principles of that good old Democratic party which hns been our only anchor of safety during the past, and now stands our only hope for the future. Heathenism vs. Poetry. It appears that our little squib, a few days since, rather touched our cotempo rary of the Enquirer upon the raw, which caused him to fire up and prove himself a much better heathen than we wore a poet. We didn’t say that Pallas did not perform that extraordinary feat of agility which the Enquirer ascribed to her, but only’ asked whether he was right down sure of it, and suggested a discrep ancy of our respective memories upon the subject. We had no history of Greeco or Tooke’s Pantheon about us at tho time to refer to, and only wished to get at the facts of the matter, and hence our inquiry. We felt confident that we had always read and heard thi-.t Minerva was the agilo maid who sprang from the brow of Jupiter, but our memory failed us as to her former and subsequent history. We, therefore, are under obligations to our cotemporary for his efforts to en- | lighten us. As to the quotation which he alleges we have wrongly credited, we are not “right down certain” that Tupper wrote it, for we really know as little about poetry as our cotemporary does about mythology, and we gave Tupper as the author simply because it sounded deci dedly Tupperish, and because a poetical friend, whom we thought au fait in such matters, said that Tupper wrote it. If Tupper didn’t write it, who did ? That’s the question. Sixty barrels of new molasses, made from the Chinese sugar cane, were receiv ed in New Orleans on the 29th ulf., from the plantation of Mr. Ives, on Terre-aux- Boeufs. The Picayune says, “We have tasted it, and it seems to be of fine qual ity.” It is stated that Miss Eliza Logan made more money during her recent engage ment at Wallack’s theatre, in New York, for the tame length of time, than any other atar ever did. LINES To the “ Beautiful City” of Augusta, (Jo. By V. E. WILHELMINE l COOK'D A far by the winding Savannah, Where summer is mantled In green, !■ planted a “ Beautiful City,” The lovelieet that ever wai eeen — There ekiee of the bluest and bright**!, And cloud* In their vcrmlt ilyee, And etare In the calm etUly twilight, Watch over like sentinel eye*. There love in her realm site supremely, And angels of friendship surround, And heautifnl maidens divinely, Clasp hands with the manly profound— And softly as each quiet Sabbath Shines out on the legion at rest, The voices of praise from the altar, Ascend to the land of the blest. I once had a lovely young sister, With gentle and soft blue eyes; In tho lap of that beautiful city, All silent and still she lies: And soft as the shadows of even, That fall in tr&uscendant grace, A veil of eternal whiteness Covers her beautiful face. U fair aa the pale sdH-lilies That blow ’neath the shadowy spray, Is she in the sainted whiteness, Down in hor palaced clay. There’s beauty about the sepulchre, Where love hangs a sparkling gem, And my soul, like a worshiping pilgrim, Sseks there Its Jerusalem. fair bride of the murmuring waters, Sweet dwelling of long ago! 1 hail thee, thou beautiful city, A landmark of pleasure and woe. Life is a varying phantom, And forms in spiritual dwell, liut dreams of thee, <• Beautiful City,” Are lovelier than poet can tell. CoI.LMIJus, Ua., Sept. Oth, 1867. Perpetual Motion. A gentleman from Union Springs, Ala., informed us on Monday that a mechanic at that place, a carpenter by trade, had, it was thought, accomplished the great and long sought after principle of “ per petual motion,” as applicable to machine ry. The machine, he says, has been seen in motion by parties in that place, but the propelling power was out of view. It is said to be moved by the attachment of weights, and its power to propel ma chinery is to be tested in a few days. We understand further, that several capi talists in the vicinity have been heard to say that if the trial proves successful their purse strings will have a very ex pansive proclivity, and that it shall not fail for want of the needful. Much time, thought and money has been wasted, and many minds destroyed, in attempts to discover and put this power in motion, without success. This iB au age of progress, however, and al though we are Bomowhat skeptical on this point, the many useful means of mechanism which have been brought out within the last sixty years, puts our doubts on the side of possibility. Many things have been discovered that took years to mature and put to use, which, when seen in operation, the simplicity and ease of construction often has drawn forth the remark that “ anybody could have made it.” It may be that this cheap motive power lias been discovered, but we shall wait for a further report be fore making up our mind to conclude the great impeder, friction, can be overcome. The accomplisher of this power will be a benefactor of his fellows, the recollection of whose name will extend to the morn ing on which Gabriel is to sound the great summoning trumpet. Destructive Fire in Americus. The Sumter Republican of the Oth inst. says: Between the hours of 1 and 2 o’clock this morniug, our city was alarmed by the cry of fire and the ringing of bells, when it was discovered that the establishment of H. W. Shaw (decoased) was in flames. The combustible nature of the house on Shaw’s lot, together with the old and tin der-like character of those in its neigh borhood, satisfied all, at the first view, that the conflagration was to be one of the most serious nature. After burning Shaw’s buildings of two stores, with four out-houses, it communi cated to tho Hotel of Col. Mcßaiu, on the east side, and immediately opposite, where, by the strenuous exertions of our citizens, it was stopped, with no other in jury to the Hotel than a severe scorching. The Colonel’s preservation was a miracle. The flames then reached the office of the Planters’ Bank agency, occupied by John C. Holmes, which was consumed ; thence attacking the frame store-houses of S. S. Kendrick, F Vogelgsaug, the new store of J. P. Griffin, and the yellow store own ed by the same, but occupied by B. Green wald as a clothing storo; then crossing an alley, it reached the huge and commo dious grocery store of William L. John son, and destroying this, with the newly erected and haudsome warehouse of Mes srs. Johnson & Evans, passing with its re lentless power over a large portion of the business part of the city. The only store in the track of the rag ing element which escaped, was the briok building of J. J. Cranberry, which owes its preservation to the fact of its being protected by sheet iron roof, shutters and doors, and which was the cause of stay ing the progress of the flames across the street to Col. Mcßain's Hotel. In the hurry and confusion of the mo ment, we give such items of losses as wo have been able to obtain, remarking only that we believe we are rather below than above the mark. H. W. Shaw, reported loss $7,000 —in- sured. Office of the agenoy of the Planters’ Bank, owned by J. J. Cranberry ; loss about $5,000. The agent, Mr. Holmes, succeeded in removing all his valuable pa pers, mouey, books, Sc. The dry goods store of S. S. Kendrick, loss $4,000 —fully insured. Fred. Yogelgsang, confectionery, loss about $5,000 —insured. Anew storehouse ereoting, owned by J. P. Griffin, loss about SIBOO. B. Greenwald's clothing store, building owned by J. P. Griffin—loss of building SI2OO. Stock of clothing, estimated loss between $3,000 and $4,000 —insured. W. L. Johnson, wholesale grocery, loss $25,000, of which but about SIO,OOO was insured. Messrs. Johnson & Evans’ co(ton ware house and sheds, loss about $l2O0 —not insured. The city council convened at about 3} o’clock this morning, to deliberate upon the matter, and arrested several white men and negroes, who are now in close confinement. Doubtless it was the work of tome incendiary, who either intended to burn the town, or was, in this regard, indifferent aa to the result. Mr. Buchane.n and the Preaohera. A number i>f New England preachers, a short time since, memorialized Mr. Bu chanan in relation to Walker’s course in Kansas, in employing the United States troops ia suppressing the factious and treasonable spirit of Black Republi canism in that Territory. The following iB his reply to the memorial, a very just and withering rebuke to those reverend politicians, which we hope will teach them a lesson that will be for their benefit, at least while Mr. Buchanan holds the reins of Government: Washington City, Aug. 15, ’57. Gentlemen: —On my recent return to this city, after a fortnight’s absence, your memorial, without date, was placed in my hands, through the agency of Mr. Hora tio King, of the Post Office Department, to whom it had been intrusted. From the distinguished source whence it pro ceeds, as well as its peculiar character, I have deemed it proper to depart from my general rule in such cases, and to give it an answer. You first assert that “the fundamental principle of the Constitution of the Uni ted States, and of our political institu tions, is that the people shall make their own laws and elect their own rulers.”;— You then express your grief and aston ishment that 1 should have violated this principle, and, through Gov. Walker, have employed an army, “one purpose of which is to force the people of Kaniae to obey laws not their own, nor of the United States, but laws which it is notorious, and estab lished upon evidence, they never made, and rulers they never elected.” And, as a corollary from the foregoing, you rep resent that I am “openly held up and proclaimed, to the great derogation of our national character, as violating in its most essential particular the solemn oath which the President has taken to support the Constitution of this Union.” These are heavy charges proceeding from gentlemen of your high character, and, if well founded, ought to oonsign my name to infamy. But in proportion to their gravity, common justice, to say nothing of Christian charity, required that before making them you should have clearly ascertained that they were well founded. If not, they will rebound with withering condemnation upon their au thors. Have you performed this prelim inary duty towards the man who, how ever unworthy, is the Chief Magistrate of your country ? If so, either you or I are laboring under a strange delusion.— Should this prove to be your case, it will present a memorable example of the truth that political prejudice is blind even to the existence of the plainest and most palpable historical facts. To these facts let us refer. When I entered upon the duties of the Presidential office, on the 4th of March last, what was the condition of Kansas ? This Territory had been organized under the act of Congress of 30th of May 1854, and the government in all its branches was in full operation. A Governor, Sec retary of the Territory, Chief Justice, two Associate Justices, a Marshal and District Attorney had been appointed by my predecessor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and were all engaged in discharging their respective duties. A code of laws had been enacted by the Territorial Legislature, and the judiciary were employed in expounding and carrying these laws into effect. It is quite true that a controversy had previ ously arisen respecting the validity of the election of members of the Territorial Le gislature, and of the laws passed by them ; but at the time I entered upon my official duties Congress had recognized this Legislature in different forms, and by different enactments. The delegate elected to the House of Representatives, under a Territorial law, had just comple ted his term of service on the day previ ous to my inauguration. In fact, I found the government of Kansas as well estab lished as that of any other Territory.— Under these circumstances, what was my duty? Wns it not to sustain this Gov ernment? to protect it from the violence of lawless men, who were determined either to rule or ruin ? to prevent it from being overturned by force? in the lan guage of the Constitution, to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed ?" It was for this purpose, and this alone, that I ordered a military force to Kansas, to act as a posse comitatus in aiding the civil magistrate to carry the laws into execution. The condition of the Territory at the time, which I need not portray, render ed this precaution absolutely necessary. In this state of affairs, would I not have been justly condemned had I left the Marshal and other officers of a like char acter impotent to execute the process and judgments of courts of justice established by Congress, or by the Territorial Legis lature under its express authority, and thus have suffered the Government itself to become an object of contempt in the eyes of the people ? And yet this is what you designate as forcing “the people of Kansas to obey laws not their own, nor of the United States;” and for doing which you have denounced me as having violated my solemn oath, I ask, what else could I have done, or ought I to have done? Would you have desired that I should abandon the Territorial Government, sanctioned as it has been by Congress, to illegal violence, and thus renew the scenes of civil war and blood shed which every patriot in the country had deplored ? This would, indeed, have been to violate my oath of office, and to fix a damning blot on the character of my Administration. I most cheerfully admit that the neces sity for sending a military force to Kan sas. to aid in the execution of the civil law, reflects no credit on the character of our country. Let the blame fall upon the heads of tho guilty. Whence did this 1 necessity arise ? A portion of the people of Kansas, unwilling to trust to the bal lot box—the certain American remedy for the redress for all grievances—under took to create an independent Govern ment for themselves. Had this attempt proved successful, it would, of course, have subverted the existing Government, prescribed and recognized by Congress, and substituted a revolutionary govern- i ment in its stead. This was a usurpa tion of the same character as it would be for a portion of the people of Connecticut 1 to undertake to establish a separate gov ; eminent within its chartered limits for 1 the purpose of redretying any grievance, real or imaginary, of which they might have complained against the legitimate State government. Such a principle, if I carried into execution, would destroy all lawful authority, and produce universal anarchy. I ought to specify more particularly a ; condition of affairs, which I have em braced only in general terms, requiring the presence of a military force ia Kan sas. The Congress of the United States had most wisely declared it to be “the ! true intent and meaning of this act (the act organizing the Territory) not to legis late slavery into any Territory or State, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States.” As a natural consequence, Congress has also prescribed by the same act that when the Territory of Kansas shall be admitted as a State it “shall be received into the Uuion with or without slavery, as their constitution may prescribe at the time of their admission.” Slavery existed at that period, and still exists in Kansas, under the Constitution of the United States. This point has at last been finally decided by the highest tribunal known to onr laws. How it could ever have been seriously doubted is i a mystery. If a confederation of sover- j eign States acquire anew Territory at the expense of their common blood and treasure, surely one get of the part ners can have no right to exclude the other from its enjoyment by prohibiting them from taking into it whatsoever is recognised to be property by the common constitution. But when the people—the bona fide residents of such Territory—pro ceed to frame a State constitution, then it is their right to decide the important question for themselves whether they will continue, modify, or abolish slavery. To them, and to them alone, does the ques tion belong, free from all foreign interfer ence. In the opiuion of the territorial legisla ture of Kansas, the time had arrived for entering the Union, and they accordingly passed a law to elect delegates for the purpose of framing a State constitution. This law was fair and just in its provis ions. It conferred the right of suffrage on “every bona fide inhabitant of the Territory;” and for the purpose of pre venting fraud, and the intrusion of citi zens of near or distant States, most prop erly confined this right to those who had resided therein three months previous to the election. Here a fair opportunity was presented for all the qualified resident cit izens of the Territory, to whatever organ ization they might have previously belong ed, to participate in the election, and to express their opinions at the ballot-box on the subject of slavery. But numbeis of lawless men still continued to resist the regular territorial government. They refused either to be registered or to vote, and the members of the convention were elected, legally and properly, without their intervention. The convention will soon assemble to perform the solemn duty of framing a constitution for themselves and tbeir posterity; and in the state of incipient rebellion which still exists in Kansas, it is my imperative duty to em ploy the troops of the United States, should this be necessary, in defending the convention against violence whilst framing the constituti in, and in protecting the “bona fide, inhabitants” qualified to vote under the provisions of this instrument, in the free exercise of the right of suf frage when it shall be submitted to them for their approbation or rejection. I have entire confidence in Gov. Walker that the troops will not be employed ex cept to resist actual aggression or in the executien of the laws; and this not until the power of the civil magistrate shall prove unavailing. Following the wise example of Mr. Madison towards the Hartford Convention, illegal and danger ous combinations, such as that of the To peka Convention, will not be disturbed unless they shall attempt to perform some act which will bring them into actual col lision with the constitution and the laws. In that event, they shall be resisted and put down by the whole power of the gov ernment. In performing this duty I shall have the approbation of my own consci ence, and, as I humbly trust, of my God. I thank you for the assurance that you “will not refrain from the prayer that Al mighty God will make my Administration an example of justice and benificence.”— You can greatly assist me in arriving at this blessed consummation by exerting your influence in allaying the existing sec tional excitement on the subject of slave ry, which has been productive of much evil and no good, and which, if it could succeed in attaining its object, would ruin the slave as well as his master. This would be a work of genuine philanthropy. Every day of my life I feel how inade quate I am to perform the duties of my high station without the continued sup port of Divine Providence ; yet, placing my trust in Him, and in Him alone, I en tertain a good hope that He will enable me to do equal justice to all portions of the Union, nnd thus render me an humble instrument in restoring peace and har mony among the people of tho several States.

We learn from a passenger by the steamer Welaka, arrived Saturday, that on Wednesday last as Dr. Spenrs, a wealthy planter of Lake George, (at one time captaiu of the steamer Hancock,) was having a small steamer, which he built for his private use, towed by the steamer Darlington to Jacksonville for repairs, his vessel was sunk, and he and one of his negroes were drowned, the particulars of which, as related, were as follows: While in tow in the middle of Lake Munroe, the small steamer badly loaking, was suddenly swamped by the heavy sea running at the time. Dr. Spears, his son, (a lad,) P. Everlett, and a negro, were on board at the time of her sinking. Mr. Everlett was rescued by a boat from tho Darlington ; Dr. S.’s son was saved by clinging to a floating box from which be was taken on board the boat. Dr. Spear and his negro sank. It j is supposed that in making an effort to save the negro, the latter drowning, clung to the Doctor (who was an excellent swim- I mer,) in such a manner as to disable him entirely from keeping above water, until the boat reached them. Capt. Brock, of the Darlington, made every effort to re cover the bodies, but in vain. —Savannah Republican. tor the Daily Sun.
