COLUMBUS: L4RHBBT CITY CIRCULATION. Wrdneiday Morning, Feb. 10, 1858. gee reading matter on Firat Page. Hemmed Specie Payment*. The hanks of Philadelphia on Wednes day, formally resumed specie payments, without any previous announcemen of their intention. They had been in sus pension sinoe the last week in September, but for none time tho suspension has been merely nominal. The resumption is now full and complete, and it is expected all the banks in Pennsylvania will immedi ately follow suit. Major J. W. Robertson, of Marietta, formerly Commandant of Cadets in the Georgia Military Institute, has been elected Superintendent of the College at LaQrange, Alabama This College has been in operation many years, has a large endowment, and lias been recently, as we understand, placed under a military organization. Not to 1) Stopped. Tho New York papers, upon authority, contradiot the statement that tho Collins line of ocean steamers are to be broken up. Tho company is somewhat embar rassed by the failure of the government to pay money due for currying the mails, but it does not intend to give up the enterprise. The Atlantic will leave New York on the 18th instant, and the other vessels of the lino will follow in regular order. Aid to Rail Road. At a vote of the citizens of Atlanta on Saturday last, as to whether the city should subscribe au additional $100,(MX) to the Air Line Rail Road, it was decided in tho affirmative, by a note of 458 to 08. This Kail Road is designed to connect Atlanta with tho North-Eastern portion of the State, and secure its valuable trade. The enterprise is an important one, and if successful will greatly enhance the commercial importance of the “City of Rail Roads.” We learn from the Memphis liullctin, of Saturday morning, that tho CoL-Cross man, a Missouri river boat, bound from New Orleans to St. Louis, with a valua ble cargo and about one hundred and tweuty-five passengers, exclusive of offi cers and crew, was burnt to tho water’s edge, on Thursday night, when opposite New Madrid. The fire originated from the explosion of her doctor boiler, and from twenty to fifty persons were drowned or burned to death. The Philadelphia American says the aggregate of gold in the banks through out the Union is now, as made up from the returns near to January Ist, and since that time, fully eii/hty-Jive millions of dol lars, or twenty-seven millions more than at. the Ist of January, 1867. Then the total in all the banks of the United States, as made up at the Treasury Department, was $68,1150,000; now, exclusive of StuteH reporting $8,000,000 of specie in January, 1867, the footings are $70,600,000, all from recently published returns. Manchester, England, papers furnish some interesting statistics of the condi tion of factory operations in that city.— The figures show thirty-two cotton mills on full time, forty on slioit time or partly still, sixteen stopped, 11,871 hands on full time, 9,400 on short time, 4,198 idle. The returns from the manufacturing and mechanical establishments together show 00 on full time, 147 on short time, or part ly still, -4 stopped, 18,694 hands work ing full time. 19,078 short time, 8,788 idle. Compared with tho last week, there is a deoreaso of 049 in the number out of work, and of 1,088 in thostf working full time. In Salford there are 9,729 hands on full lime, 6,949 on short time and 3,110 out of work. Lecompton Constitution Uefrnteil. A dispatch from Washington states that on Mouday, in tho Senate, the Pres ident’s message and the Lecompton Kan sas Constitution were referred to tho Co mmittee on Territories, by a vote of 28 to 22. In the House, Mr. Harris’ amendment to Mr. Stephens’ resolution was adopted by a vote 116 to 111. Mr. Harris’ reso lution refers tho message ami Constitu tion to a select committee of fifteen, with power to seud for persons and papers, thereby precluding tho possibility of a re port this sess : . u. it would appear that the South is in cited to this disposition of the Kansas question to the defection of the three American members of tho House from Maryland- Ricaud, Harris, and Winter Davis. They gave their votes and influ ence to gaiu a triumph to the lilack Re publicans, and secured it by four votes. This shows thut their votes could have secured the reference to tho Committee on Territories, and thus have saved the country from a continuous agitation and the almost certain defeat of the admission of Kansas at the present session. United Staten Military Force. The total force of the United States army is now seventeen thousand nine hundred and eighty-four meu, while fifteen years ago it was only about eight thousand. At a corresponding rate of inorease it will soon amount to fifty thousand men, and become a regular “standing army.” The War Department desires that au inorease of forty-five hundred men bo made, and a bill now before tho Senate proposes to add nearly seven thousand. It may be the public service requires this augmentation of force, but if so, we cannot see for what purpose. The Utah difficulty is the only one of any importance that now requires any effective force, and this can be supplied by volunteers, without eulisting regulars for a term of years. The government should studiously avoid all approximation to an unnecessa rily large “standing army,” as the people are generally very jealous of it, and besides it takes such a largo expenditure of public money to subsist it. True Bill agalait Gen. Walker In Hew Orleans. We publish to-day the bill of indict ment found by the Grand Jury ot the U. S. District Court at New Orleans, against General Walker, Col. Anderson and oth ers. As the United States District At torney had refuand to proceed against him without further orders from Washington, we are glad that this bill has been found, as it will enable Gen. Walker to clear his character from the aspersions cast upon it by his enemies, of violating the laws of the country by organizing an armed force against a country with which we are at peace. The case will involve some very nice points of international as well as statute law, and the whole question as to the legality of his enterprise, the sover eignty of Nicaragua, the power of arrest beyond the limits of the waters of the United Statos, will come up in the inves tigation of the case, and the matter be for over set at rest, whether a citizen of the United States can expatriate himself, and in doing so, take with him arms for his own protection in the land to which he intends emigrating and making his future home. That General Walker will pass through this fiery ordeal unsenthed we do not for a moment doubt, and the blush of shame, if they have not lost nil sense of tho feeling, will mantle the cheeks of his persecutors, for their unmanly and cowardly course toward him. General Walker has employed able counsel, among whom is lion. Pierre Soule, and they will exhaust their legal skill and ability in conducting the case, as there arc principles involved in the case which look beyond the rights and justification of the parties arraigned for trial at the present time The Delta says tho jury which found this bill was com posed of the persons who constituted it when it ignored the hill some days ago, With the exception that three who were present on tho former occasion were ab sent in the latter, ami one member was present on the latter occasion who was absent on the former ; hence we conclude the bill was found not so much on the merits of the case made out against them, ns the desire to ufford Gen. Walker au opportunity to vindicate his course be fore the country, and definitely settle the question which lias for some time past been such a prominent theme of dis cussion not only in political circles throughout the length and breadth of the land, but also among the common people of the country. ♦ From the Cincinnati Puce-Current, Feb. 3. Under moderate receipts, and the in fluence of a buoyant provision market, hogs have advanced during the week, closing firm at $5.60 to $5.62£ per 100 lbs. net, with a demand considerably in excess of tho supply. At close, however, the trade was characterized by a reeling (especially as regards provisions) some what similar to that which preceded the reaction that took place a week ago.— Urices are demanded which are above the limits of orders, and this tends to check the demand ; but, on the other hand, there is not much stuff pressing, and holders are therefore somewhat confident. Tli receipts of hogs for tho week unit the season wore 19,103 Total for tho season 423,483 Total number packed Inst season 344,312 Total number packed in 1855-6 405,396 The number received to dato is in ex cess of the packing of any previous year, with tho exception of 1848, when tho cut ting reached 476,000 head. Tho indica tions now are that the business this sea sou will exceed 450,000. The weather is very favorable, and it is quite probable hogs will be cut for three weeks to come. The Princeton (Ind.) Clarion gives tho following statement of hogs killed this season in Gibson county. Most of the figures are taken from the books of tho packers, and the others have been obtain ed from suitable sources ; number of hogs killed, 23,683 ; average weight, 201 lbs. The number packed in 1856 was 17,329, and in 1856 was 10,677, exhibiting a large increase for 1857. The uverage is much larger than ’66, and about equal to that of ‘55. a Tlie Embezzlement The Hartford Free Press says that the embezzlement of the funds of the Hart ford Savings Association, by Mr. Sey mour, will probably absorb the capital of that institution ($100,000) but it is not likely that tho depositors will lose any thing ; Among the specul&tious for which Mr. Seymour used the funds of the Associa tion, are the Bristol Copper Mine, a Sil ver Miue iu Mexico, the Great Western Stone Company in Chicago, a furnace or rolling mill at l’ridcvale, Va., and a real estate speculation in Brooklyn. He trans ferred his real estate in Hartford to his relatives on Friday last. Tho .Etna Life lnsurrnnce Company, of which he was Vice President, will lose nothing. Mr. Seymoro is forty years old and unmar ried. He told a friend on Friday last that he had used about if? 100,000 belong ing to the Association; that he was go ing away and that his friends would nev er see him again. Which way he has gone no one knows. A Philadelphia letter of February 4, to the Baltimore Sun, says: “ Yesterday, at a meeting of the Phil adelphia Society for Promoting Agricul ture, Mr. Fischer presented to the Socie ty specimens of sugar manufactured front tho Chinese sugar cane by Mr. Lovering, at his farm, on the York road. Mr. F., iii presenting the report, said that fifteen hundred pounds of sugar oould be raised to tho aero, which would produce a bat ter profit than other agricultural products; besides, the blades and stalks were better as food for cattle than corn fodder. Mr. F. had also been informed by a number [ of gentlemen in Delaware, that they had obtained syrup from the oane with but lit tle difficulty.” Who Is he t A Vienna letter of the lltk of January says : “According to letters from Pestli, in Hungary, a merchant of that place some three years ago absconded, leaving his creditors minus 200,000 florins.— 1 Subsequently it was ascertained that he had established himself in New York, and was there doing a profitable business.— Recently his Pesth creditors were offered fifty per ceut. for their claims, which they eagerly accepted. Soon thereafter the absconded debtor reappeared in Pestb, and simultaneously the intelligence was received from New York that he bad ; decamped from there, leaving behind him debts to the amount of $2,000,000!” Walker Indicted.

As the Judge yesterday especially | chnrgcd the jury’ that “the nature of their oath and public policy forbade the disclosure of each individual Grand Juror —the decision of the majority only to be made public in their presentment,” they did not request a liko publication of the manner of casting their votes, and we were, therefore, unable to gratify the natural public curiosity in such matters.

FROM A FRIEND. Columbus, Fob. 8, 1858. The Lecompton Constitution In Con gress. We refer our readers to our telegraphic column this morning, for late news from Washington City, in reference to the Le compton Constitution, as important as it is disagreeable and unexpected. That instrument has been virtually re jected by the House of Representatives. In the Senate, during the session of yesterday, Mr. Bigler’s motion to print the message of the President, and refer it, together with the Kansas Constitution, to the committee on territories, was car ried by the very close vote of twenty eight to twenty-two. In the House Mr. Stephens’ motion to the samo effect, was defeated by the adoption of the substitute for it, offered by Mr. Harris, of Illinois. This substitute, our readers will re member, was made the special order for Monday, wheu, after a fierce contcstupon it, and a stormy night session, the House adjourned on Saturday morning. A full synopsis of its provisions has already been published in our columns, but as a matter of interest to our readers, we sub join a copy of it, as it was introduced in the House by Mr. Harris, on Tuesday of last week: “j ßesolved, That the message of the President, concerning the Constitution framed at Lecompton, in the Territory of Kansas, by a convention of delegates thereof, and the papers accompanying the same, be referred to a select commit tee of thirteen, to be appointed by the Speaker: “That said committee be instructed to inquire into all the facts connected with the formation of said Constitution, and the laws, if any, under which tho same was originated, aud whether such laws have been complied with and followed : “Whether said Constitution provides for a republican form of government: and whether there are included within the proposed boundaries of Kansas sufficient population to be entitled to a representa tive in this House, upon the basis now fixed by law ; and whether said Constitu tion is acceptable and satisfactory to a majority of the legal voters of Kansas : “Also, the number of votes cast, if any, and when, iu favor of a convention to form a Constitution as aforesaid, and the places where they were cast, and the number cast at each place of voting, and in each county in the Territory: “The apportionment of delegates to said convention among the different counties and election districts of said Territory, and the census or registration under which the same was made, and whether the same was just and fair or in compli ance with law: “The names of the delegates to said convention, and the number of votes cast for each candidate for delegate, and the places where east, and whether said Con stitution received the votes of a majority of the delegates to said convention : “The number of votes cast in said Territory on the 21st of December last, for and against said Constitution, and for or against any parts or features thereof, and the number so cast at each place of voting iu said Territory : “The number of votes cast in said Ter ritory on the 4th day of January last, for and against said Constitution, and for or against any parts or features thereof, and the number so cast at each place of vot ing in said Territory : “The number of votes cast in said Ter ritory on the day last named for any State aud legislative officers thereof, and the number so cast for each candidate for such offices, and the places where cast: “That said committee also ascertain, as nearly as possible, what portion, if any, of the votes so east at auy of the times and places aforesaid, were fraudu lent or illegal: “Whether auy portion, and if so, what portion, of the people of Kansas are in opeu rebellion against the laws of the country : “And that said committee have power to send for persons and papers.” The committee appointed under this resolution, if constituted as committees of the House usually are, will not report during the present session of Congress ; and if it does, the report cannot be acted upon. It is, with the lights before us, virtually a rcjectiou of tho Lecompton Constitution, aud au indefinite postpone ment of any settlement of the Kansas question. We have no time for farther comments, but shall take occasion soon to refer again to the new and dangerous phase which this question has assumed, with reference to the duty of Southern men in the premises.— Augusta Constitu tionalist. The Baltimore American says: “We learn from a well informed, though not perhaps authoritative source, that the banks of Baltimore are prepared to resume specie paymeut in full, and that the consummation of this measure may be expected at any moment.” PILES IN BOTH FORMS CURED.—Read this: “I c*u only account for iuy present sound health from the constant, though moderate use of B(Erhzyi’s Holland Bitters— having from my youth suffered at intervals from Piles, iu both forms, sometimes so severely as to completely prostrate me. I have for several month* past, though subject to loss of sleep and unusual physi cal effort, been entirely free from any symptom of this distressing disease; while my general health la very much improved.” Persons doubting the authenticity of this certifi cate are requeated to call upon or communicate with the proprietors. They will take pleaaure not only in referring them to ite author, but to many others who have used the Holland Bitter* for the same affection, with equal success.

It has been so esteemed in all ages of the world anil among all nations, savage and civilized, lienee, the Indian brave regards the scalp of his enemy as his great est trophy. For a similar reason, the fashionable belle often disguises the region of vanity, as well as her other phrenological organs with borrowed locks. lie who should discover a mode of preventing the hair from showing the inroads of envious Time by turning prematurely gray, a method by which it could be restored when falling off or turn ing white, and a way of promoting its continued and luxuriant growth, would be justly entitled to rank among the benefactors of tbe human race.— Capital City Pact.
