COLUMBUS: I LAROIIT CITY CIRCULATION. Saturday Morning, Dae. 10, ISST. Suspension Legalized In Alabama. Wo learn by a private dispatch from Montgomery, that the bill legalizing the suspension of specie payments by the Central llank of Alabama, and the Com mercial Bank, at Selma, was passed into a law by the Legislature of Alabama, yesterday, and that it bad tho effect of putting Cotton up sc. The act requires theso Banks to resume specie payments by the 16th of November next. Minister to Central America, flen. Mirnbau B. Lamar, of Texas, a native of Georgia, and once connected with the press of this city, has been con firmed by tho Senate of the United States, Minister to Central America. From Mllledgcvllle. On the ltltli instant, the bill commu ting the punishment of John Black, con victed of murder in Habersham county, from the gallows to the pcnitcutiary for life, passed the Legislature, and only awaits tho signature of the Governor. On the same day the bill increasing the salaries of the Governor and the Judges, which was last in the Houso on the 15tb, was re-considered. Tho bill was then ta ken up, and after some modifications, passed by a vote of 83 to 43. The Gov ernor’s salary is fixed at $4,000, that of Judges of the Supremo Court $3,500, and Judges of the Superior Court at $2,500. The clauso in relation to paying Solicitors n salary in addition to their fees, was stricken out. The bill which has for some time been pending, to abolish the cumbersomo equity practice- in this State, after the adoption of several amendments, passed the Houso by a vote 65 to 42. Washington Items. We gather the following items of inter est from the Federal Capital, from our exchanges, in the form of telegraphio dispatches, under date of the ICth inst: The Democratic caucus of the Senato has nominated Win. A. Harris, Esq., the editor and publisher of the Washington Union, as tho Democratic candidate for Printer to the Senate. Tho standing committoe in the Senato were selected to-day. Tho Representative branch of CongroßS met this morning in the new Hall. Tho proceedings wore unimportant. Tho roportors for tho pross arc very much annoyed at the limited accommoda tions afforded them in the now Hall. Dispatches from Washington to the Au gusta press, on the 17th inst., state that Mr. Gwin, of California, has introduced into tho Senate, a bill organiring a Ter ritorial Government in Arizona. Also a bill providing for the construction of a Pacific Rail lload. Mr. Hunter, of Virginia, introduced into the Senate, a bill authorizing tho is suanco of United States Treasury Notes to the amount of twenty millions of dol lars. In tho House no business was transact ed, that body having met and adjourned in respect to the memory .of tho lion. Win. Montgomery, a member from Penn sylvania, whose death wsb announced that, morning. Standing Committees of the House. On Monday last, in the llouso of Rep resentatives of Congress, tho standing Committees of that body were announced as follows : Elections—Messrs. Harris, of Illinois, Boyco, Washburn, of Maine, Stevenson, Clark, of Connecticut, Phil lips, Gilmer, Lamar and Wilson. Com merce—Messrs. Cochran, Millson, Wash bum, of Illinois, Miles, Wade, Stall worth, Uustis, Sandy and Cumins. Wnys and Meaus—Messrs.

Clingmau, Hopkins, Burlin game, Clay, Ritchie, Barksdale, Siokles Boyce and Grocsbeok. Later from Kansas. Recent advices from St. Louis state that the Territorial Legislature of Kansas con vened at Lecomptonon the Bth instant, in obedience to tho proclamation of Acting Governor Stanton. His aoting-Excellon cy’s mossago was read, in which ho says, “In consequence of recent events, 1 find myself compelled from a sense of duty to call you together, that you may adopt, by prompt legislation, measures to avert tho calamities which threateu tho public peace. He advises the passage of an act directing that an election bo held, under ditt'erout officers, on tho Bamc day and at the same places, as provided by the proc lamation of Hon. John Calhoun, Presi dent of tho lato Convention, and authori zing the people to vote for the Constitu tion in either form, as presented by the Convention, and also against the Consti tution in both forms. Ho moreover re commends tho passage of a law making fraudulent returns of votes felony, and prescribing suitablo punishment. Great excitement was occasioned by tho meet ing of the Legislature, and it was deemed probable that tho opponents of the Le compton movement would not allow the holding of an election. The doughty warrior, Gen. Lane, with three hundred men, was encamped near Lecompton and threatened to drive Mr. Calhoun and the members of the Convention out of the Territory. Mr. A. J. Burnett, of Sparta, Alabama, committed suicide in that place on the night of the 7th inst. He cut his throat with a pen-knife while laboring under a it of delmum tremens. Nicaragua News. In addition to the news heretofore pub lished in our columns, of the arrival and landing of Walker and 200 of his men at Punla Arenas, on the 24th ult., we gather the following particulars from the N. O. Picayune’s Nicaraguan correspondent. Before making Greytown, Walker had some of the Fashion’s boats lowered and with a detachment of 42 men, towed into the mouth of tho Colerado, a branch of the Han Juan, for the purpose of pro ceeding up to its junction, which they did and took ptuition on Leef’s Island, ns was subsequently learned, which gives them entire control of the river. Walker’s men areencamped, some down on the point and some above, being scat te.rod to tho extent of a mil For more with sentinels regularly posted, and Walker’s headquarters said to present a camp liko appearance. Tho Cost* Ricans and Nicaraguans are at war. Tho first hold Castillo on the river. Tho commander of the United States vessel, Saratoga, was manifesting a dis position to interfere and interrupt W'alk er’s movements. Ho seemed to have deemed it his duty to admonish Walker against going to Greytown. From the Mobile Register we oopy the following letter from a gentleman in General W’alkcr’s corps, received by a friend in that city, disclosing a disgrace ful and outrageous proceeding on tho part of the commander of the U. S. Stea mer Snratoga, which cannot fail to excite a feeling of disgust and indignation in every true American bosom, that an offi cer of our navy should so pander and toady to the British feeling against Walker’s Nicaraguan movement as to go so for beyond the lino of his duty, ns to threaten to emply tho force at his com mand to punish Walker in caso he should do an act which he has no authority for supposing would ever bo committed. This over zeal on tho part of commander Cliatard, in obstructing tho enterprise of Walker, and to show his hostility to it, proves him to be only tho catspaw of the British Agents at and about Grey town, and should bring him into con tempt in tho breast of every highminded American. Wo regret that wo have not the time to comment upon such conduct in tho terms that it deserves, as it is vio lative of the principles which should ac tuate our naval officers in protecting American interests abroad, and for which we omply and support a Navy, and is unworthy of an.American officer: The following is the letter alluded to : Punta Arenas, Nicaragua, 1 November 29, 1857. / Dear Sir: You may recollect the cir cumstances which attended tho seizure of certnin arms and military stores last April by tho men undo rLockridgo’s com mand, assisted by the English. These stores, belonging to Nicaragua, J. N. Scott had in his possession; and to-day the Saratoga took the guns, with their carriages, on board that vessel—and they are now trailed on us. The conduct of Commander Chatard is so much the more disgraceful, as ho ad mits he has no instructions from his gov ernment to warrant him in the hostility he manifests towards us. He knows he dare not fire on us, and his attempt to intimidate us is not only ludicrous, but cowardly. Further than this, he has at tempted to involvo the Fashion in diffi culties—threatening to have her fined for not carrying her name on her stern, well knowing, at the time, the vessel is hero without money, and therefore in the con dition of a ship in distress. He has pla oed himself in tho attitude of a U. States Naval Officer, seeking to injure Amerieau ship-owners. The followuig note has just been hand ed to Gen. Walker, under the teal of the Dritiih Consulate, written, ns you perceive, by Commander Chatard, of the steamship Saratoga: U. 8. S. Saratoga, orr Greytown, \ Nov. 30th, 1857. / Sir: I have been informed through Mr. Green, 11. B. M.’s Consul, that you medi tato seizing tho English mail from Costa Rioa, with American. English, and letters of other nations. Besides, there may be money. Now, I warn you not to touch it, and to nllow it to come safely to hand here. If you do not, I will proceed agninst you without hesitation iu tho manner 1 sent you word the other day— that is, with shot and shell. In a few days tho American ns well ns the English com mandors will bo here, and then all your acts of violence will be more particularly uoticod. Yours, respectfully, Frederick Chatard, Commander. The sloop-of-war Saratoga protec's Scott in his possession of the property on tho Point, although he holds it under or ders from Gen. Walker himself. From the Mobilo Mercury wo copy tho following letter, which will be found of interest: Punta Arenas, Not. 80, ’67. Hon. A. V. Brown, Washington: Dear Sir: —Having been disappointed in visiting Washington, as I had intended and desired to do, I take tho liberty of addressing you upon a subject which in volves a question of much interest to the South, as well as to myself personally. 1 address you for the reasou that in former years l had the pleasure of a per sonal acquaintance with you, and for the more important reason that you are un derstood here to favor the Americanization of Nicaragua. 1 am the owner of the steamship Fash ion, which sailed from Mobile on tho 14th ultimo for Greytown ; and the hostility which has beeu manifested by the Gov ernment concerning her departure, and the numerous rumors ae to the measures which will be adopted to prevent the ves sel from continuing regularly in the trade, has induced me to write to you. The en terprise with myself and those associated with mo was not only of a commercial character purely, but I assert that it was entirely legal in all respects, and at the same time I do not deny for a moment that I desired to afford, in putting the vessel on the line, facility of transporta tion for emigrants wishing to go to Nica ragua ; and so long as I continue to re spect the Revenue laws, as well as Inter national laws, I maintain that the enter prise is perfectly proper and legal. It j would be a most extraordinary proceed ing, it seems to me, for the Government of the United States, or any other Gov ernment, to attempt to stop this vessel. I distinctly stated to General Walker and those who went on the ship that I would not permit anything in the way of a military armament or a military organ ization to go on board, and, in fact, it was neither desirable nor desired that either , the one or the other shontd be the case. It was enough for me to know that there was a desire with many to emigrate to Nicaragua, and that one or two vessels ‘ plying between the port of Mobile and Greytown would prove to boa lucrative business for those who engaged in it. In a conversation with Gou. VYulker, Commander Chatard, of the Saratoga, re- j quested him not to permit his men to go , to San Juan, as this might produce dis- j turbance—and he would feel bound to j protect the people of Greytown 1 was . greatly surprised to bear a United States officer speak of protecting the population ; of Greytown. I am perfectly satisfied ! from what occurred, that. Capt. Chatard is a mere boot in the hands of the British Consul here—and it is enough to make American blood boil at the sight of such subserviency to English interests. This morning he sent a message to Gen. Walk er that if he interfered with American property not alleging that there had been any such interference—he would re gard us as a hostile force, nnd prevent us by shot and shell from sending away boats or from leaving the point. The whole conduct of this officer lias been hostile and disgraceful to nny one wearing the American uniform. The Commercial Agent at San Juan del Norte is bitter in his hostility to our cause. The Costa Iticans ami Nicaraguans are in open war, and but for the disposition manifested by tbe commander of the Sar atoga, everything indicates That General Walker’s success in regaining his former position, might bo regarded as certain. Respectfully, The Hog Trade. No transactions of importance, says tho Louisville Journal of the 14th instant, have taken place during the last two days. Drovers are asking an advance, but packers show no disposition to pay it For good hogs $5.25 could be obtained, and extra heavy might bring $5.50, part ensh, part time. The market is without the least animation. Tho St. Louis Republican of Saturduy says: Hogs arc offering in plenty, and the weather is favorable for killing, though sales are of an unimportant character.— Rates arc steady at $4 for a weight of 105 lbs and under, and $4.50 to $4.75 for a division on 200 lbs. Buyers do not free ly pay these prices. Sales of 400 bbls mess pork at $12.50, and 200 bbls to fill an order at same, and a small lot of 55 bbls M. O. at $12,50, rumps at $10.50 per bbl, 20 pkgs hams, in pickle, at 7c, and 35 pkgs prime city lard at BJc. The Chicago Press of Saturday says: Hogs continued dull, shippers general ly insisting upon some abatement in prices; 60 (nice corn-fed) weighing on an average 260 lbs., sold at $3.78 gross, 103 of medium quality averaging 245 lbs. at $3.00, 178 ordinary averaging 230 lbs. at. $3.50. A lot of extra heavy averaging 286 lbs. brought the extreme price of $3.80. The number now on the market is 900 head. At Carlinville, 111., on the sth instant, hogs on foot brought $3 to $3.20 gross and dressed $4 to $4.25. The market at Peoria was improving on the Bth, $3.50 to $3.75 and $4.25 be ing the range of prices net. Quincy. —Hogs are coming in rather slowly, farmers being reluctant to take the present rates, but prices will more probably be lower than higher. The price now being paid is $4, dividing on 200 pounds. Hogs aro rather lighter than usual so far the present season, owing to old corn having ruled at high figures. Up to Saturday there had been between 8,500 and 9,000 head slaughtered in Quincy. Full one-lialf of this number were slop-fed. Old contracts have just been closed out. The present prospect is, that as many hogs will bo killed here this season as last.— Whig, Ith. Burlington, lowa. —Pork packing has not fairly commenced hero as yet, the number heretofore cut being unusually small. $3.50 to $4, dividing on 200 lbs., is the price paid in money. - Progress of Western Texas. The editor of the San Antonio Herald, writing from Lavaca, draws the following flattering picture of that portion of the Stato: Lavaca is looking up; the streets are thronged with wagons—some loaded with cotton, others with lumber, flour, corn, and all kinds of merchandise—indeed, it presents tho appearance of quite a city, and, no doubt, Riill he a very important point when the fine iron horse moves in the streets of this place—shall hoist his inane and tail, and come up with his mighty power, on a visit) to the beautiful valley of San Antonio. Let this bay and our city bo united by the meaus of a rail road, how numerous the advantages, how vast tho increase of population, how beautiful will our lovely country appear in a very few years. Villages will spring up all along the line; those beautiful valleys between this bay and our city will present one connected farm, then war upon tho carts will be hoard of no more, and good feeling among our peoplo will bo restored as iu old times. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Washington, Dec. 14. — The llouso will go into their new Hall on Wednesday.— Tho Committee appointed to Inquire into the expediency of its occupation, reported favorably. Tho question was, whether the new Hall was sufficiently dry for occupation. The report is that it is less damp than the old Ilall. The mortar used in the wall of tho old Hall is not yet dry, as was ascertained not long ago, when it became necessary to cut through it. The cement now used dries immedi ately. The hydrometer used in these tests also shows that the new Hall is dry. There is no doubt that the new Hall is 1 better adapted to the purposes of a delib erative body than the old one—which was * better fitted for a house-garden, or as an amphitheatre for gladiators, than for I speaking and hearing. The oratory of the House will be vastly improved by the change. No encourage ment to cultivation of rhetorical powers was afforded by the construction of the old Hall. The finest natural voice was ! scarcely audible in it, except in certain positions. A good voice was soon injured ! by the necessity of straining it. Col. Orr has gone very successfully through his first trial as Speaker—tlm is, in the arrangement of the Standi g j Committees. His cast of the Commit! ■ - appears to be judicious and satisfactory. Excellent and impressive eulogies wove j delivered in both Houses to-day, up -n the lato and much lamented Senator Butler. The speakers were Senators Evans, Mason, Pugh, Corwin and Boyce, Stepheus, of Georgia, and others of the House. LEO.

Loss of appetite and weakness impair the health, mid want of activity makes tbe mind discontented and uulirppy. In cases where old age adds its Influ ence, it is almost impossible to adil vigor and health, and although many remedies have beeu ; tried, all have failed, until Boirhavk’s llon.and Bitturs were known and used. In every case where they have been employed they have inva riably given strength and restored the appetite. They have become a great agent for this alone, and nre lined by many people who are suffering from loss of appetite and general debility. In cases of long standing chronic diseases, they act as a charm, invigorating the system, thus giving na ture another opportunity to repair physical inju ries.

Dec. l(i-6t FADED FLOWERS. —It causes sad reflections to tak.- up a boquet once smiling with beauty, and gaze upon its withered leaves and faded colors, llut h w many failed flowers do we see on the great boquet of humanity; men and ladies, too, whose beauty l as fled with almost the lightning’s speed, and whose forms are sinking with premature de cay. What a pity it is that all such do uot know that ere disease has taken hold upon the vital parts, a simple preparation would restore them to health, to joy, and to beauty. Such a preparation, for instance, as llostettkr’s Stomach Bitters, which drives away despondency, strengthens the weaker parts, and restores the whole system. It is recommended by physicians, and commended by all who have used it. For sale in Columbus, Ga., at the Drug Store of Dec. IG-2w PEMBERTON, NUCKOLLS A CO. TIIE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.— It seldom occurs, that we notice, under any cir cumstances, patent medicines, restoratives, or any thing of the kind, for we have a prejudice agaiDSt most of them. But candor compels us to invite attention to the advertisement of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. We are too juvenile to require anything of tbe kind, but some instances of its use have come to our knowledge which almost a*- suros us that it is a sovereign remedy against the hair becoming piematurely gray, it is not a “ Hair I)ye;” but upon its application as directed, the effect is produced on tile skin, which brings out tlie original native colored hair, without stiff ness. and gives it a glossy and natural appearance. We have seen persons who have used it, and they arc much pleased with it. —Missouri liepublican. Sold by all respectable Druggists in city and country. Dec. l-2w Georgia Specie Paying Banks.
