COU MBIN, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1858.
Emigration to Nicaragua.
“An emigration company is forming in this city
with Nicaragua selected as the future home. A
vessel is to leave Mobile on the 10th of next
month, for the Central American paradise, and
with the emigrants there collecting. The compa
ny in this city is forming and preparing to leave.
Maj. Ellis is forming the company here, and his
office is at the Merchants’ Hotel, where he will be
pleased to receive the applications of all who de
sire to go along. This is a civil and peaceful en
terprise, and those who go will land and be receiv
ed, and suffered to look out, each man for himself,
just as the ship loads of men do who land here
from the old shores of Europe—Nicaragua is a
place where citizens of the United States can set
tle and thrive in a peaceable way, and there are
thousands who want to do so. All necessary par
ticulars about the emigration will be given upon
application to Maj. Ellis.”— New Orleans Cres
cent.
The presumption of those who thus openly an
nounce their intention to invade the territory of a
neighboring republic, with which we arc at peace,
in contravention of all national law and without
provocation or excuse, is not often equaled: And
that reliance should be placed on false colors and
assumed names as an effectual protection from the
interference of United States authorities under
such circumstances, surpasses comprehension. —
Everbody knows that “emigration is only a sy
nonym for invasion, and “hollow ware,” for death
dealing missiles and musketry. Pi’ctensions of
this character are too “hollow” to be mistaken, or
to conceal hostile intentions. Accordingly, with
direct reference to this movement, the President,
in his proclamation, enjoins all officers of the (gov
ernment, civil and military, in their respective
spheres, to be vigilant, active and faithful, in sup
pressing these illegal enterprises, and in carrying
out their standing instructions to that effect.—
Journal of Commerce.
Such is the commentary of the Journal of Com
merce upon the announcement that a company of
emigrants is shortly to leave our shores for Nicar
agua, for tho purpose of peaceful colonization in
that counti-y. It is to bo assumed, then, that when
ever a number of individuals leave the United
States for Nicaragua, they are associated in a
conspiracy for hostile invasion. No matter what
maybe their professions of peaceful intention, they
are marauders. Pots and ovens are, by executive
construction, to bo converted into mortars, cups
and saucers into instruments of destruction and
rat-traps, an invention for catching some luckless
Nicaraguan. It would be difficult to conceive a
more monstrous doctrine —one tho details and ap
plication of which would more nearly comport
with the ultra pretensions of the most absolute
despotism. Tho right of expatriation is peculiar
ly an American doctrine. In vindication of this
right our Government in 1812 braved the hazards
of a war with tho most powerful nation on the
earth, and is ready we trust to submit the ques
tion to the same tcrriblo arbitrament whenever it
is practically denied. Put though we will shed
our blood to maintain it when it is infringed by for
eign nations, wo are equally ready to make the
same sacrifice to suppress it, should it suit our
views or policy so to do.
Lot not the question be misstated. IVo say that
the denial of the right of our people to go to Nic
aragua, or elsewhere, singly or in companies,
when they expressly declare a peaceful intention,
and under circumstances of equipment not contra
dictory of that declaration, is a denial of this cher
ished right of expatriation. Tho doctrine assert
ed by the Journal of Commerce cannot be support
ed except upon the assumption of tho impossibility
of peaceful emigration. If this hypothesis is a
subject for executive discretion, the right of which’
we have spoken is a non-entity. It may be in
dulged as well with reference to any other nation
as to Nicaragua. Indeed it may be made to ap
ply with equal plausibility and justice to inter
state migration, and a company of Georgians
moving to Texas may be arrested on the charge of
having a hostile design against that common
wealth. We arc not in favor of curtailing the
Constitutional powers of the executive, but we are
in favor of confining him to them. Ho is charged
with the execution of the laws of the country, and,
in this capacity, it is his duty to enforce obser
vance of our treaty obligations; but in the per
formance of this trust let him not override the
rights and liberties of the people. We have no
fault to find with his instructions to Federal offi
cers to bo diligent in endeavoring to suppress “il
legal enterprises,” provided ho does not intend to
include all classes of emigration in this phrase.—
Tho fact that the existing Government of Nicara
gua has declared that emigrants will not bo allow
ed to enter her territory, unless provided with
pa ssports from Nicaraguan authorities residing in
tho United States, does not authorize any action
on tho part of this Government. If they choose
to go, notwithstanding this prohibition, it is an
affair to be settled exclusively between Nicaragua
and themselves. Cognizant of the regulation,
they can take tho risk ‘or not as they may con
clude from a calculation of chances. No principle
of international law requires this Government to
take notice, or assist in the execution of any law
appertaining to the interior and police regulations
of a foreign country.

of an Agricultural College in the vicinity of the

Portrait of Governor Troup. —Mr. Mair, of
Atlanta, has deposited in the Senate Chamber a
full length portrait of the Hon. George M. Troup.
It has been painted by order of tho Legislature,
and was taken from a cabinet bust in the posses
sion of Col. Forman. Wo deem the likeness a
good one, and tho Governor placed in a natural
and striking positiou to those who knew him, He
is represented in “a sitting position, with a leg
crossed, surrounded with books in the Executive
Department, pen in oue hand, an J the other hold
ing up his memorable message to the Legislature
in tho trying times in the history of the State as
to its jurisdiction, wherein he says in his contro
versy with the b ederal Government:
, “T beseech you, therefore, gentlemen, that it is
not, too late, and having exhausted the argument,
step forth and stand by your arms.”

FURTHER FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
lutcrcstlng from Mexico.
The Brownsville Flag, of the 27th ult., furnishes
the following summary of the latest Mexican news,
received at that place. It is interesting, and goes
to show that the cause of the Liberals is not so
desperate as, on hearing of Vidaurri’s defeat, we
were led to expect. According to this account,
400 of Vidaurri’s men, taken prisoners by Mira
mou, were subsequently massacred by his soldie
ry. It seems that these Mexicans cannot imag
ine a victory complete unless it is signalized by
inhuman butchery of defenceless prisoners.
By the last mail from Monterey we have the
Bohtin Ojicial, of the 16th, which brings some in
teresting news. Gen. Vidaurri had resigned his
position as “general-in-chief of the army of the
North,” and conferred the charge upon Col. Zara
gosa, of Monterey, who had already began an ac
tive reorganization of the Liberal troops. He had
already an armed and equipped force of more
than two thousand men.
A forced loan had been imposed upon the com
merce of Monterey, and a voluntary contribution
had been opened, by which combined means it
was thought that soon ample funds would be rais
ed, enough, at least, to enable the frontiersmen to
sally out again upon their enemies.
It is stated that “treason in camp” has been
the cause of Gen. Vidaurri’s defeat, as the following
facts, stated by a Bolctin of recent date, will show:
It seems that several of Vidaurri’s guns had been
spiked by someone in camp, previous to the at
tack by the enemy, who made a simultaneous
charge exactly upon the point where the battery
thus disabled had been placed; feeling confident
that the fire of muskets would be the only resist
ance to be met with ; and before that point could
be reinforced, the enemy had gained too much
ground. Confusion ensued, and the Liberal chiefs,
thinking that all was lost, led a hasty, and, it is
said, an inglorious retreat. Lieut. Nunez, of the
Liberal army, a Spanish merchant named Flo
rencio Alvo, and several others, are charged with
the treason which is said to have occasioned the
defeat of the liberal army at the North.
The Reactionists, who have now a comparative
ly free scope of country on which to rove, are
committing all sorts of depredations upon every
body and everything that belongs to or has belong
ed to the Liberal party. They fell, recently, up
on the hacienda of El Canelo, belonging to Gen.
Aramberri, a Liberal, and after pillaging its con
tents ad libitum, and dispersing the inhabitants,
they sot fire to it, leaving nothing but tho ashes as
vestiges of what is said to have been a beautiful
place.
Generals Pueblita, Iluerta, Coronado and Blan
co were, by last accounts, threatening tho city of
San Luis, which is now the stronghold of tho Re
actionists. They had a very respectable force,
their soldiers were well armed and equipped, and
they were anxious to encounter their enemy.—
Doubtless a battle may soon take place between
the combined forces of those chiefs and those of
Gen. Miramon.
The Northern chiefs, Garza and Vidaurri, have
received the official report of the total defeat of
Casanova at Guadalajara by Gen. Degollado, and
the capture of that important place by tho latter.
In this achievement the Liberals have recovered
all, if not more, than Vidaurri lost before San Lu
is ; this being so, they can be said to remain in
their former state, notwithstanding the partial de
feat of the Northern forces.
In the engagement between the Reactionists
forces and those of Vidaurri 400 of the latter’s
men were captured by tho former, who, after see
ing them disarmed and taking from them their
most valuable equipments, ordered his second in
command to take them from his sight and do with
them as ho thought fit. This inhuman wretch,
who well knew what would ensue from such course,
placed them in the hands of his soldiery, who were
just then in a beastly state of intoxication. They
tell upon the captives, who were entirely defence
less, and a horrible massacre followed. At the
end of the terrible scene, the lifeless bodies of four
hundred human beings were found stretched upon
the ground, mangled and weltering in their blood,
a patent sacrifice to the holy cause of liberty.
A rumor has been rife in town that Zuloaga had
deserted the capital and gone south, in quest of
some port where to embark for some foreign coun
try. Of course, this is but a rumor, yet it is to be
hoped there is some foundation for it.— New Or
leans Picayune.
llow Thf. Press is Affected by Dead Heads.
Railroads occasionally complain of dead-heading,
but no institution suffers so much from it as the
press. A sensible writer says:—
Tho press endures the infliction of dcad-head
ism from the pulpit, tho bar and the stage, from
corporations, societies and individuals. It is ex
pected to yield its interests; it is required to give
strength to weak institutions, eyes to the blind,
clothes to the naked, and bread to the hungry; it
is asked to cover infirmities, hide weakness, and
wink at improprieties; it is expected to herald
quacks, bolster up dull authors, and flatter the
vain; it is, in short, to be all things to all men ;
and if it looks for pay or reward, it is denounced
as mean and sordid, There is no interests under
the whole heavens that is expected to give so much
to society without pay or thanks, as tho press.
Buggy Accident. —Orlando Holland Esq., of
Enterprise, Miss., on his return yesterday, from
the Fair Grounds, in a buggy, was obliged to
turn rapidly off the near end of the Flank road, to
avoid a collision with a carriage. In turning the
cushion slipped and he was thrown out,; the buggy
passing over him. He was quite badly hurt about
the head and feet, but was able to be out this
morning. The horse carried off the buggy and
smashed it.— Montgomery Mail, sth.
Yesterday’s Elections and their Results—Seward’s
Manifesto in Full Blast,
The general results of our State election yester
day—Gubernatorial and Congressional—will not
be surprising to the managers of Tammany Hall.
Morgan is elected Governor by a handsome ma
jority, and the regular democracy have been beat
en in a number of their old Congressional districts.
Clark and Haskin are thus re-elected as anti-ad
ministration candidates; Humphreys is elected
over Taylor in the Brooklyn district; Geo. Briggs,
fusion, over Elijah Ward, and Reynolds, anti-
Leeompton opposition candidate, over Erastus
Corning in the Albany district. Tho democrats,
however, have saved John Cochrane, Sickles,
Maclay and Barr in this city, which is more than
they expected by one half; and have elected their
entii*c county and judiciary ticket, which is also
something more than the appearances of the can
vass two days ago woulfl justify.
The return for Governor, on the other hand, in
dicate a gain of several thousand in this city by
the republican candidate from the American side,
and a very significant run of gains on last year’s
comparative vote, in almost every hole and corner
of the State. The Rochester manifesto, then, of
W. 11. Seward, declaring incessant war upon the
Southern institution of slavery until all the slave
States shall be made free States, or until all the
free States shall be changed into slave States, has
received a nominal endorsement from the people
of this commonwealth, which places Mr. Seward
prominently in tho foreground as a republican can
didate for the Presidency upon the bloody aboli
tion and revolutionary platform of Lloyd Garri
son and Theodore Parker.
Thus the election of Morgan becomes the most
conspicuous, the most significant, and the most
momentous of all the results of all our elections
for tho last twenty years; inasmuch as it places
the republican party with a majority in the next
Congress upon Seward’s warlike and disunion
platform, until the party shall have otherwise de
creed. The party must now consent to sink Se
ward beyond the hope of resurrection, or consent
to think with him and the Union in his designs to
carry the war against slavery into the heart of the
Southern States.
This issue, thus broadly developed in the elec
tion of Morgan, is the paramount result of yester
day’s election, in connection with an anti-admin
istration Congress. The agitation for IS6O now
begin; but who can predict the end ?— N. V. Her

Mexican Affairs.
A Washington correspondent ofthe N. Y. Herald
says :
Senor Mata, the representative of President
Juarez and the Constitutionalists, has left for
Vera Cruz. Before leaving he was admitted to a
private interview with the President, and another
with Gen. Cass. The chief point of desire on the
part of President Juarez isjto obtain some pecu
niary aid from our Government, and Senor Mata
was given to understand that our Government
could take no part in the present contest in Mexi
co, but should the Constitutionalists succeed, and
evince a disposition to arrange the pending ques
tions between the two countries and the claims of
American citizens in an amicable and just spirit,
they would find on the part of this Government,
every disposition to afford them such moral and
material aid as was in its power.
The points on which such a negotiation might
turn are: A railroad route to some port on the
Gulf of California, a liberal commercial treaty,
including reciprocity in certain articles on the
northern and California frontier, and a treaty
guaranteeing the neutrality of the Tehuantepec
route. Senor Mata will return here before the
close of tho session, so as to give the President an
opportunity to request Congress to act before
spring.
Some of tho foreign ministers have been in
communication with the State Department re
garding Mexico. It appears that not only Span
iards, but foreigners generally, were subject to
severe proscription at San Luis Potosi|and oth
er places.
Spiritualism—Practical Manifestation In Pulaski
County.
Our sprightly contemporary, the Pulaski Times,
whose attention has been drawn to spiritualism,
gives the following remarkable manifestation in
that county, the narration of which was overboard
by one of the editors from the lips of a venerable
and truthful negro claiming to be a “ mejum .” It
is the first spiritual manifestation we have ever
read about, which promised to be of much use,
and it is a pity it should have been spoiled in the
process of development, by the somewhat “irrev
erent curiosity” of (he “ mejum” aforesaid. We
will premise our clipping from tho story by stating
that the venerable narrator and “ mejum” was out
on a ’possum 1. unt, and had treed his game on an
immense black gum tree, too big in his judgment 1
for his own cutting—and he thereupon betook
himself to the “spirits” for aid:
So I goes up to de tree and stuck my axe, as
hard as I could, an lefit dar, an step off from the
tree, an sed : Ef dare is de sjnrithere ob any black
man dat is dead, what has eber been possum hunt
in’ wid me, I wiM tank him to let me know it by cut
ting down die tree. I say the same ting over tree
time, an den I see de axe comin out ob de tree, an
afore I could snuff my torch, away it was gwine
cutting like blazes, jes like sum body; but I swar
afore God, Josh, dar was not a soul dare but me
an de dog. Ob course I knowedfor troof it was a
spirit; my dog raise he brissels and growl—l
make him lie down and hush he mouf. Bime-by,
arter de axe had cut a big keerf, it stop and set
down on de groun, jes like when you stop to blow,
and rake de chips outen de place dats cut, wid your
hand you know, and de chips fall outen de place,
but I could’nt see no band nor fftiffin.
Well, I want skecred a bit; I stood dare an de
axe stood dare jest leanin up ginst nuffin. Tinks
I dat must be Bill Chizzum, what use to go wid
me possum huntin afore he died. Sez I, is dat
you Bill Chizzum, an when I say dat, down fall
de axe on de groun, and all do suadin I could do,
it nebber cut anodcr bit. Den I knowed it was
Bill, an he tink I gwine to ax him for de quarter
dollar he owed me when ho die, an ho cut out for
true. I tell you, Josh, I didn’t cotch dat possum;
no sirroe bob—dis chile take he axe and cut for
home, sartin.' —Macon Telegraph.
Then and Now.
Any one who has usually been present at the
Capitol during tho Bi-enni&l Session, and who was
in Milledgcville at the opening of tho first Annual
Session, could not fail to be struck with the painful
quiet of the latter. The members arrived in town
and actually got out of the omuibus without acci
dent. No collaring; no button-holeing, no whis
pering, no printing of cards, and positively but
little treating. The lame, the halt, and tho blind,
stayed at home, much to the comfort of the mem
bers, and the healthy condition of their own pur
ses. A scene, however, of some interest oecured
in tho House, which somewhat surprised us. It
was announced, that the Door-Keeper of the House
of Representatives was absent, and as the Speaker
had the appointment, all at once four or five names
were proposed, evidencing the spirit of the old
session, if not the presence of the army of occu
pation. A friend suggested to us, that the Presi
dent and Speaker should have the appointment of
all the subordinate officers —if that provision was
made we would guaranty that neither of the distin
guished occupants of the Chair could survive one
siege—the tailor could not keep them in wearing
apparel, and they would “die (not) of arose in aro
matic pain,” but of bad whiskey and a bore in the
ears. —Daily Federal Union.
Frost.
Not to announce the gladsome tidings that it has
fallen nor to predict when it will whiten the roofs
of our houses do we write this word. Would that
wo could say the silent visitor has been here, or
promise that the marks of his foot-prints would
soon delight our eyes. It would be puerile and
presumptuous in us to foretell its fall, after those
who have been studying the clouds and feeling the
pulse of the atmosphere, until their hair is frosted
to the roots, have so signally failed in their prog
nostications. But frost is to us like some dear
friend who has promised to pay us a visit at a cer
tain time, but who delays his coming, we know not
why. Every day we expect ho will make his ap
pearance, and it is pleasant to talk in the family
about him, and to sweeten our frequent disap
pointments with tho self-promise, that to-morrow
we will surely shako his hand. In this light, we
in the city are ploased to regard this white-robed
dweller in the chill air. He has been talked about,
wished for a thousand times, and most ardently ;
his arrival has even been foretold, and once we
thought he would have come, but he stopped seven
miles beyond the bounds of our city, and since
that the air has been too hot to allow him to enter.
But to-day ho seems to be preparing the roofs
for his carpet. Tuesday afternoon masses of slate
colored clouds were piled up on a Western sky,
and the sun went down through them. Light
ning leaped from them, and spreading them
selves over the stars they poured out drenching
showers through the dark air, cooling it as they-;
fell. Yesterday the wind from the North-west
made the sun-side very grateful. It was a day
for a bridal; as bright as the world is to happy
childhood. And when it was all shade, walkers
instinctively quickened their pace, and thought
of shawls and overcoats. May we venture to
hope that they who regale themselves with the
sweet breath of the young day, will, on the mor
row, behold hoar-frost ? Wo dare not indulge
the pleasing hope. The leaves of our city trees
may continue to flourish in greenness, and coals
lie untouched in the cellars. But notwithstanding
we bemoan the late coming of the fever’s destroy
er, our wharves and thoroughfares are becoming
noisy and crowded.
A large and increasing business has been car
ried on in our principal staples during the past
three weeks. Cottop bales are awaiting pressure,
though steam is working with all its might and
speed. True, there are no signs of winter bustle
and energy along Ilayne and Meeting streets, for
their customers prefer to come and see and select.
They must watch for tho silent blessing. But
those sections washed by the river are alive with
clatter and encumbered with the evidences of
prosperity.
Many have returned to their homes during the
past week, many are waiting for frost to open the
city gates. We would not advise any who fear
the scourge to expose themselves to it. But the
decrease in the number of cases and its diminish
ed virulence, justify us in expecting its disap
pearance even without the presence of frost.—

Washington, Nov. 2, 1858.—The Attorney
General has given an opinion on tho construction
of acts of July 29, 1848, February 3, 1853, and
Augusts, 1854, granting pensions to widows. He
holds a pension can in no case be paid for a period
embraced in second coverture, and that it has
been contrary to the whole scope of legislation on
this subject that a woman should be paid a pen
sion for the time she was actually married. It
seems that the Pension Office has in some cases
sanctioned a different practice. The present
Commissioner, Mr. “Whiting, entertained doubts of
the legality of such payment, and referred the sub
ject to the Attorney General.

A Singular Incident. —Last week, in Rich
mond, as Edwin Booth was performing the char
acter of Macbeth with his wonted and splendid
effect, a very singular incident had like to have
transformed the mimic tragedy into a real one. —
The young actor was entirely absorbed in his part,
the audienfce 1)6081110 unusually excited by his
acting, and finally rose en masse with vociferous
applause in the midst of the performance; just then
Macbeth, on hearing of Macduff’s arrival bringing
with him the forest of Dunsinane, in a paroxysm
of terror threw his blade hastily from him; it
struck one of the supernumeraries of tho theatre
who stood behind the scones watching Booth so
intently that he did not stoop to avoid the wea
pon; the dagger passed into his hat and knocked
it on the ground, and the frightened scene-shifter
hurried away to watch the rest of the play in secu
rer quarters. It must be rather difficult or dan
gerous to play with one so entirely forgetful of
everything but his role, as Booth seems to be.—
In the same tragedy, he struck with a truncheon
the shin of his standard bearer till tho fellow bont
double and bellowed with pain. Tho audience
were amazed at tho naturalness both of the great
actor and his supporter.— N. Y. News.
An Opinion of Congress.— Mr. Gurley, Re
publican, elected to Congress, in Cincinnati, was
formerly a Universalist minister. One of his op
ponents was trying to persuade an old Methodist
not to vote for him. “Do you think you are fur
thering the cause of religion,” said he, “by voting
for a Universalist—one who does not believe in a
hell ?” “Yes,” was the old Methodist’s reply, “if
by the time Mr. Gurley has been in Congress a
year he does not believe there is a hell, then I am
very much mistaken. I shall vote for him.”
Victim of his Profession.— Mrs. Snow, who
belongs to that long-suffering but most estimable
class, editors wives, gives vent to some of her
troubles in this wise :
Mr. Snow knows the name of every paper pub
lished in the United States and England, but he
can’t for the life of him tell the names of his chil
dren. Ho knows just the age of every American
journal, but he does not know the age of his own
babies. He knows how every contributor looks,
but I don’t believe ho can tell whether my eye’s
are black or blue.
The world says Mr. Snow is getting rich. All I
know is, he gives me money to clothe and feed the
boys, and that, too, without a complaint of pover
ty. I hope the world is right in opinion, and lam
fully satisfied that it is, I shall advise him to re
sign his editorial honors and spend a few months
in becoming acquainted with his wife and children.
The little ones will feel much flattered in making
the acquaintance of so literary a gentleman.

case is no misnomer, we have the testimony of
individuals whose elevated position in the country
as well as their acknowledged and honorable cha
racter as gentlemen, render whatever they publicly
asssertin the last degree reliable. Several of
these have tested, personally, the hair preparation
we are now speaking of, and certify to its amazing
efficacy in the most public manner possible. Their
certificates can be seen at the proprietor’s depot,
312 Broadway, New York, and once seen and
properly appreciated, we have no hesitation in
saying they will impress conviction on the most
skeptical mind. Wood’s Hair Restorative is,
doubtless, the best article of its kind ever yet pro
duced.
does not dye, but gives life, health and
beauty to the decaying, falling and dead, restoring
as if by magic, that which was supposed to be ir
recoverably lost. Heads nearly bald, and others
nearly white, arc daily being changed to their
pristine beauty, and faces covered with pimples are
rendered as smooth as an infant’s, and blushing
as a rose, all by the use of Prof. Wood’s Hair Re
storative. For sale at 114 Market Street, and by
all Druggists. — Chicago Democrat.

WILLIAMS’
PICTURE GALLERY IN FULL BLAST.
THE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co
lumbus, and in fact to ail Georgia, that he is now
taking Pictures in as good style as they can he taken
in the “Empire State,” either by a foreign or native ar
tist. His prices range from that much debased sum—
fifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not
pretend to say that he is the test artist in the United
States, yet lie fears not the result of a comparison witli
those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver
tisements and puffs of their own manufacture. He
prefers that |ladies pand gentlemen should judge for
themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture
will call and give him a trial, lie will convince them
that lie fully understands the modus operandi of picture
taking. All he wants is a fair and “impartial and
he fears no competition from any quarter.
His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store, Broad Street,
where lie will be happy to receive visitors and show
them his specimens at all times.
