Dispatches from Washington on Thurs day, announce tho defeat of the l’acific Hail Hoad bill iu the Senate, and the Con sular diplomatic bill intlic House. — —* Snvnnnnli Ship News. The ships Wallace and Rosalie, from Liverpool, and the bark Louisia, from Cardenas, arrived at Savannah on ‘Thurs day. ♦ Powder mill Exploded. An explosion occurred at Dupont’s Gun powder Mills, near Wilmington, Delaware, on tho 20th in.st., killing two men. The shock was very heavy, an a large quanti ty of powder ignited. The Savannah Republican : ays there was a report in tho street in that city on Thursday, that orders lmd been received from Washington, and carried into exe cution, suspending all tho work going on at Forts l'ulaski and Jackson, and dis charging all tho workmen. ♦ Valuable Cargo. The ship Eliza Bonsai, Michaels mas ter, cleared from Charleston on Monday last for Liverpool, by Messrs. .1. Fraser & Cos., with 450 bales Sea Island, and 3,582 bales Upland Cotton, weighing ],- 700,580 pounds, valued at §221,581. The Cuban Question. We publish in to-day’s issue, un ex cellent and well tempered article on the acquisition of Cuba and the inode of its acquirement, from the .Savannah Repub lican. It is a sound und sen iblo view of the project now before Congress to place at tho command of tho President thirty millions of dollars to bo used by him to promote the peaceable acquisition of the Island of Cuba in tho event an opportu nity should present itself. Wo differ widely with the Republican in many of its notions of what constitutes tho proper conduct of our government—particularly in the ease of Nicaragua—but its Cuban policy, as set forth in several leading ar ticles recently, express our views pre cisely. Wo commend them to the press of Georgia; and more particularly to the Dougins wing of the democracy. ♦- Wo learn from tho Macon Citizen that the lilllo girl Mary, one of the Marsh Children, who was severely burnt by her dress taking fire on the stage last Wed nesday night, lingered about, twouty-four hours and died. This should boa warn ing to those who act on the stage to be ware of coining in too close contact with the foot-lights. This is about the fifth accident of the kind which has come to our knowledge within tho last three years, all of which proved fatal. Wo also learn that Miss (leorgiana Moiisby and Mrs. Marsh, in attempting to rescue Mary Marsh, whose clothes were on lire, had their hands badly burnt. ♦ More Congou. Tho Advertiser say.- about twenty gen uine Africans passed through Montgom ery last Sunday, bound for New Orleans via Mobile. They left Montgomery on the steamer Dclmau, Sunday evening.— The Advertiser says they bore great resemblance in form and feature to the gang which passed through that place sometime since, but were much healthier looking, and are supposed to be a portion of tho Wanderer’s cargo. - ♦- Cotton Itipoil for Liverpool. We take the following extracts from the Cotton Circular of Win. P. Wright & Cos., ot New ) ork, dated tho 24th instant, sent out by the Niagara, which sailed for Liv erpool on the 25th : Chop -This subject seems to lose inter est m the more oxeiting question of price : the talk is that 3,,00,000 bales will not do more than supply the increased demands for the curreut year, and that unless the next crop proves a large one, some of this must he kept over. Having adopted as a general thing the larger estimates of crop, and feeling tho weight in the largo stocks everywhere ou hand, the fact that prices advance, in the absence of a general de mand lor England, proves conclusively that so far under this severe test, there exists a great confidence in the article. Rkckipts for tho week amount to 122,- 000 bales, being a few thousand bales less than was expected. Next week a larae increase will-take place, as we have by telegraph receipts for the week euding on Saturday; at New Orleans, 72,000 hales, and at Mobile, 35,000 bales, or 107,000 bales at the two ports, against 00,000 hales in all the ports during the corresponding week of last year. The receipts at the interior markets are also ou tiie increase, owing, it, is supposed, to the improved condition of the roads. The receipts at Savannah already exceed the total of the whole of last year by nearly 4,000 bales. The total receipts at the ports now amount to 2,100,000 bales. —-—♦ A United Stales “Nigger-” William Lee, formerly of tho firm of i Phillips, Sampson & Cos., was recently j arrested in I’nris by two policemen, who suspected him of being an Italian with designs upon the life of Napoleon. When he was taken before the commissary of police, that officer said to him: “1 am j sure that you are no red Republican.” . “No,” said Mr. Lee, “1 am a black Re publican.” “ Vojfrit rout exclaimed the . commissary ; 1 ‘ C'est un ntgre tie* F.tat* Uni*!" —llo is a negro from the United states. ♦ .... •- In the noon train (says an eastern ex change) from Fitchburg to Roston, a few doys ago, there wa- a scene of ludicrous tribulation. It bccuis that one of the lair j sex, who was elegantly and fashionably attired, was forced to travel ten miles standing up, iu consequence of not being able to compress her garments so as to enable her to enter the seat. Several gentlemen very gallantly offered her their ‘ seats, although there were plenty of va cant ones in the car. She made sundry j endeavor* to lyre* herself iu, but there was no use trying, for hoops and crino- j g Un proved inexorable. 1 From tlie Savannah Republican. Tin; Culmn Policy of the Admlnis I ration. Too little of the policy of Mr. Buchanan in regard to Cuba has been developed, to ouable any one to form a just estimate of its wisdom or folly ; consequently, whilo wo have regretted some aspects of the question—arising rather from the inher ent nature of our government than tho choice of those who are called on to ad minister it—we have abstained from of fering an opinion in tho premises. W'c have thought such a course duo as an act of common justico towards tho President, whom wo have, from the beginning, sus tained when wo believed him right, and opposed when we believed him wrong. Wo are not a little surprised, though, to find certain papers belonging to the President’s own party, engaged in a stu died attempt to thwart his movements, and, without knowing anything of his real intentions, to prejudice the public mind against them in advance. Tho Washington States is of this number, though, considering its thorough identifi cation with the fortunes of Douglas, the word “surprise” can hardly be considered applicable to the ease. Jn its issue of tho 21st instant, that paper, without mak ing any direct charge, indirectly puts arguments in the mouth of Spain, and in sinuates that the policy of the President is without regard for justice and the honor of tho country, and must end in an “ig nominious failure.” We are somewhat surprised, though, to sec such an article copied approvingly into a Democratic paper of our own tttnto. Wc arc under no obligations wiiatcvcr to defend the Administration against this injurious course of its own party friends. We did not help to place it into power, nor arc we a sharer of its triumphs, or responsible for its blunders. We have sought, as an honest, independent jour nalist, to do it justice on all occasions, and, from a sense of patriotic duty, to sustain such of its measures as we be lieved prouiotive of the public good. That much we liavo over done, and shall con tinue to do. That much, too, we think, it deserves at the hands of those who call themselves its political friends. Nor do we travel beyond our province when we characterize the course of Douglas and his followers towards it, in this matter of Cuba, as factious and wanting in those high principles of justice that should characterise the course of good citizens towards tho constituted authorities of their country. With the Fxecutivo en tirely depended upon the Legislative de partment for means to carry forward its policy, as awkward an aspect as the Cuban question presents, it is difficult to say how the former could have acted differ ently. it is but sheer justice, though, that its policy and acts should be fully declared and understood before they are condemned. Especially should it not bo attacked upon a question of so delicate a nature that it cannot bring forward tho facts necessary lor its defense, without prejudice to the public interests. W’e think it is taking an unfair advantage, and we should be wanting in duty not to express our condemnation of such a course. But without referring further to this quarrel between the President and his Douglas friends, there is one portion of the .States’ article on which we desire to oiler a word of comment. It says : “It is the opinion of the best informed persons that France and England, under any circumstances, will oppose physical resistance to the acquisition of Cuba by the United States, it is absolutely cer tain that they would not acquiesce in tho outrage upon their ally which is involved in the proposal to seize the island in re sentment of a refusal to sell it. We do not intend to be understood to maintain that the opposition of Franco and England is a conclusive argument against any ef fort for tho acquisition of Cuba. This, however, wo do affirm, that when this government prepares to encounter that responsibility, the ease should bo suffi cient to justify the step at the bar of pub lic opinion, and the preparations adequate to the emergency.” We fully endorse the two last proposi tions of the paragraph quoted, though it would appear that the States’ special re gard for “public opinion” is a sentiment of roceut growth. Its courso hitherto has beeu in the van of the filibustering spirits of the day, aud wo had thought, so the area of freedom was extended, it mattered little with that paper whether it com ported with the opinion of tho world or not. For ourselves, we can see no strong ground for supposing that either England or France, or any other European nation, except Spain, would take tho responsibility of engaging in war to prevent tho acqui sition of Cuba. Still, it is possible, and a wise nation will prepare for every con tingency. England and France, the only sources to which tlie United States would look for opposition, have already enough to employ their energy and vigilance at home, without attempting to regulate tho affairs of other nations in a distant quar ter of the globe. Besides, they nro both intelligent, far-seeing governments, and are not likely to waste blood and money in a fruitless cause. They must know that the destiny of this country is, sooner or later, to absorb the islands that lie in the immediate vicinity of our coast, and that nothing they can do will successfully resist that consummation. They may talk, and occasionally utter a growl, but the talk and the growl will be tho ultima tum of their resistance. Especially will this bo the ease if wo should put our selves in a state of readiness for tho conflict. There is no nation so mad as to wholly disregard the maxim that “pru dence is tho better part of valor.” As regards (lie thirty millions appro priation, our opinion is this: Tho couutry desires tho annexation of Cuba to our dominions, and expects tho government to acquire it, if such a result lie possible, | consistently with the honor atfd character ! of tho nation. There aro three ways of acquiring it: first, by treaty with Spain ; secondly, in the prosecution of n just war; thirdly, by tlie voluntary act of the in habitants of tho island; ns if, for in j stance, they should declare aud maintain ! their independence, and propose to bo incorporated ns a part of our nation. As regards the first mode, should tho recent intelligence from Spain bo confirmed by the dispatches of our government, wo confess that, the prospect is gloomy, though not altogether hopeless. A Hare up was to be expected upon tho first blush of the question iu tho court of tho ’ proud Custilians; though it is not ncccs j airily true that first impulses shall ro main impregnable to certain prudeutial considerations that may possibly be ad dressed to their judgment. We can im agine what these considerations are, and that they have their weight in the mind of tho President, and that, too, without the Ipreseuce of a corrupt or unlawful motive. Without going into details, let Spain I become convinced of a fact that is pal -1 pable to every body else, to-wit: that the I island is bound to pass out of her hands, in one way or another, even should this government not a stir a linger to effect it; . and is it not to be presumed that she would prefer to part with it in that mode that will prove most advantageous to herself? Pride has it. day, but it seldom fails to fall beneath the stern mandates of neces sity. This is as true of nations as it is of individuals. There aro other considerations to which we might allude, but this article has al ready grown much longer than we intend ed it to be; nor shall we discuss the two •remaining modes of acquisition, as they were thrown out rather for reflection than with a view to discuss their merits. As regards tho thirty millions appro priation, if the disposition of the Spanish government bo such as it is represented to be, it may be saftest and best to with draw tho bill for the present; but of this the President is in a for better position for forming a correct judgment than our selves, or those editors of his own party who aro disposed to deal so harshly with him and his policy.

Bold iu Columbus by BROOKB A CHAPMAN, and Druggists generally throughout the State. January 28,1869-tit —l—!■ iin —m 1111,1 ifciirm i ni wn ~rr~ i :wasnn%/sa*oi To tlie Citizens of Columbutf uml vicinity* l N justico to myself I am at last compelled to J make a plain, truthful statement of an unpleas ant affair between .Jos. A. Roberts and myself, which resulted in my being obliged to dissolve the flrm of McKeo, Roberts k McKee, about the 10th of Beptembor last. Mr. R. would have this com munity bolievc, that it was tho result of a family difficulty, which I had nothing to do with on my part. What disagreement in respect to family there was, he and his family were the originators Mi it. Nor did I over interfere in it in any way whatever. But to tho question. Roberts had a great disposition to appear what ho was not, and liked the people of “dear little Camden,” in Jer sey, to think ho was the principal man in my busi ness, to which l was perfectly w illing, if he enjoyed any benefit from it. But this disposition did not stop hero. Ho soon got so independent, that 1 was not consulted iu important matters respecting the business, the expenses of which 1 had to bear. This too I looked frequently over and let it pass. , But the gentleman soon began to report among his people at the North, that I knew nothing about tho business—that he did and transacted all busi ness matters for this house. Well, this 1 submit ted to also, as those with whom I was acquainted knew better, and 1 cared nothing about what the rest of the world thought. Soon it was remarked that Roberts must have made money very fast at the South. 1 asked why! I understand his brother has tho commission to buy a farm North for Rob erts. Again, it came to my oars, Jo. Roberts has loaned £I2OO on bond and mortgage, aud these statements the parties insisted were true, when I refused to believe them: and as this whs during the commercial panic of ’57, I asked Roberts if this report was with foundation ; lie replied it. was not, aud I thought no more of it. When he handed me his usual balance sheet of tho year 1857, he had only $176 to his credit, and yet he began the first of the next year to take money before it was made, to pay his bills of the year previous. I thought this a strange way of doing, but knowing he had been keeping a sister and sister-in-law, and at a heavy expense, to appear of importance, I easily accounted for it. This I allowed, thinking he would soon see the necessity of changing his extra vagant ways of living, making large presents to his family, Ac., to keep alloat the gideA that ho was a man of wealth. But I heard Roberts had bought another negro, which lie reported to his own fam ily, but thought R. would give mo a satisfactory account. When questioned concerning a certain note drawn by me ou one of our first men, Roberts replied the Drawee had broke all to pieces and turned out a perfect rascal, (I have tho letter) but he (K.) had secured SIOO ou time. Tho amount secured was said negro. There was a claim on said negro of $350. This Roberts took and paid, and made tho titles over to his wile, and never charged himself with tho S4OO. Next I heard of Roberts with all his family aro about leaving for tho North. Next the great gentleman’s baggage arrived by ex press, and much astonished and amused the good folk of the sand hill city, Camden, his home; and as they said, “it was a pile.*’ Thinks I, this “splurging” don’t much correspond with Roberts* statements ; for of all the dull letters respecting business, his beat all, for the representation of no money and no trade —the business ruined—Colum bus not worth staying in—could not make a cent on anything—and abusing our competitors shame fully. When the gentleman reached homo, of course 1 expected he would call and see me about business, when ho had rested, and perhaps go and buy stock for the house in company. Rut I waited in vain, wondering why ho showed this lack of attention to business and of respect to me. I fre quently hoard of him, but could not see him or get any satisfaction, I wrote to my son that Roberts j had not even ca’led on mo. nor had he written me a line, yet two weeks had elapsed since R’s arrival. My son replied, that, he did not like the way in which Roberts had left affairs at this house—that he had made no entry of what money he (It.) had taken for traveling; nor could my son find by tho hooks how tlie claim (on which the before men tioned negro was given) stood, nor did the books show, and moreover, that Roberts had overdrawn his account heavily. 1 knew It. was splurging about tho North, pay ing the expenses of others, &c., directly in my face. When ho had been there about three weeks, U. was asked by his uncle. (1 have proof.) if he had seen Mr. McKeo; he replied “no, I have no busi ness with him, mid if he (McKee) has with me, he knows where to find me and also stated that McKee knows nothing of his business, and I now have him (McKee) just where I want him, God (tumn him . I next hear that Roberts and his brother were going East to buy “his” stock. Well, thinks 1, when leave L will follow aud see what a fool you will make of yourself. The first place 1 heard of him stopping was at tlie State Bank. Newark, N. J., to see how his bank account stooif. lie was informed that he was overdrawn SIUO, and that on his own check; the cashier tell ing hiiu that 1 had drawn it out. He (It.) trans acted no business after that in Newark, but went to New York and took a “look at tho Cable laying,” aud boou after returned to Rahway on “his way” home to Camden. Called at Win. Osborno’s coach establishment, and purchased a buggy for his brother. I happened to step in there soon after Roberts had left. Mr. Osborne remarked, Roberts has just left here. Bays l, what did he want? lie replied he purchased a buggy for his brother. 1 remarked, in what way is ho to pay you for it’ By tho firm, McKee, Roberts A McKee’s note, at six months, I suppose, was the answer. Bays I you hail hotter not send it on those terms, but write him how he anticipates paying for said buggy, which Mr. O. did. and received Robert's letter stating he (It.) would give the firm note for it, which Osborne refused, and the buggy did not go. In a few days after Roberts makes a check on the Blab* Bank, Newark, and presents it to the Oauuln Bank for payment, and they not suspect ing, immediately cashed it. But when said check was presented to the Slate Bank, they returned “No money,” aud the check of course was “pro- j tested.” I subsequently hrt'l it to pay to the Cam ; den Bank. I was so completely surprised aud as j tounded at his (R.’s) conduct,not yet having got a | sight of him, ami he staying in Camden and I liv ing iu Philadelphia, not three quarters us an hour's ride apart, and now about four weeks since his arrival. 1 determined, at the advice of my best friends, to go to Columbus aud dissolve the firm, this at a great iucouvcuicnce to myself and an interruption to my business. Prior to leaving, however, 1 put a notice in the paper requesting all parties to make no business tranmictions respect ing sai.l firm except with myself, and then started , for Columbus. Ah soon as Roberts ‘discovered” said notice he started immediately aft< r me. When I reached here 1 found K. had secured tin* negro : by title over to his wife, which nc ro ho since sold to me by my relinquishing all claims against him, i which I did in the presence of Messrs. Holt A Hutchins, wishing no injury to tlie man. Binco 1 | have said hut little about him, only giving the ■ reasons why I dissolved the firm, which 1 was forced to do in self-defense. But he has after wards told about the place and country that 1 had 1 no reason for treating him thus. 44 0n1y envying his happy state'’ and wished to turn him (R) out to i put my sons in his place. When it was my inten tion to allow him and my eldest son to take the i business lmd he acted as he should. Roberts in- j ! suits me by his conduct in various wavs. All the ‘ I stuff he has told about myself and the affair Ii pronounce a turn fabri eat ion, and It is evident that 1 some among the community believe his story, for 1 he lias been persuaded to bring an action for | defamation of character amounting to $25,000. and 1 hope he and his family will have a good chain- i pagtie drunk when he gets it These above facts 1 swear to iu the pre- mee of a ! magistrate.
