The Merchants’ Meeting.
Pursuant to adjournment, the meeting
of merchants called to consider the pro
priety of organizing a Board of Trade
and of taking steps to have Columbus
made a Port of Entry, met at 3 o’clock
Thursday afternoon at the Alabama Ware
House. Mayor Thompson in the Chair
and J. M. Estes, Secretary.
The meeting being organized, two re
ports as to organizing a Broad of Trade,
emanated from the Committee appointed
at the previous meeting. After consid
erable discussion, they were referred to
a select Committee of five, to report a
combination and consolidation of the
suggestions contained in the two reports
at another meeting to be held to day
week. The result was the resolution to
form a Board of Trade, the organization
of which will be completed at the next
meeting at the time above indicated.
When the Board of Trade is fully or
ganized, it was determined to initiate the
necessary steps for having Columbus
made a Port of Entry. No further busi
ness appearing, the meeting adjourned to
re-assemble at the same place, Friday
the 15th inst.
Montgomery—Tlie Capital.
“ L’Ecrire,” the Montgomery corres
pondent of the Tuskegec Republican
says : The other day I met with the fol
lowing paragraph in the Montgomery
correspondent of the Columbus Times :
It is not probable that Montgomery
will be selected as the permanent Capi
tal. The high board and rather poor fair
have turned the scale against her. At
lanta, Macon, Columbus, or some other
central point will be looked to.”
Now, I rather like that. It is decided
ly cool and refreshing. That one should
leave Montgomery and go to Columbus,
Macon or Atlanta in search of good fare
(I suppose the writer means fare, al
though he says fair, ) and low board, will
be news to most persons who have ever
visited the four places.
“ L’Ecrire’s” comment is not a little
‘‘cool and refreshing” itself. We mean
no reflection or invidious distinctions,
when we say that Columbus may safely
challenge a comparison with Montgome
ry or any other place with regard to the
article of fare, and especially the fair. If
either will exert any influence for the
permanent loctftion of the Capital, her
chances are by no means desperate.

Exaggerated rumors of the existence of
small pox in this city are also in circula

best informed sources we are satisfied
that there have been but four cases in
the county. One of these is well and

day, the 4tb, inst. looking to the with

Ist, That the compromise agreed upon
by the majority of the Commission at
Washington, fails to give assurance of
that equitable, satisfactory, just and final
settlement of the slavery controversy
which the slaveholding States have the
right to demand.
2nd, That the dignity and honor of
Virginia forbid, that she should oiler any
other propositions for adjusting the pend
ing difficulties between the North and the
South.
3rd, That tbe time has come, when
Virginia should resume her sovereignty,
withdraw from the Federal compact, aud
adopt in concert with the other Southern
slave States, or alone, such measures as
may seem most expedient to protect the
rights and insure the safety of her citi
zens.

News from Pensacola.
Mr. R. A. McGibony, who has just re
turned from the fortifications near Pen
sacola, Fla , informs us that the troops
(12 months) stationed there under Col.
Forney are busily engaged in making
active preparations of defence. There
are now almost completed, three sand
batteries, large and secure; in the first
one, bearing on the front of PickeDS, is
mounted two large Columbiads; on dke
second, four sea coast howitzers, and on
the third also four guns, making in all
ten guus oa the batteries, each one in a
different position of attack to Pickens,
and independent of Forts Barrancas and
Mcßae and the Navy Yard. Lieutenant
Slemmer, of Pickens, fearing bis fort was
not of sufficient avail, is also building a
sand battery to bear immediately on the
Navy Yard. It is thought by some, that
he is being assisted in his preparations by
men from the Brooklyn. Our troops are
in good health, and work with a will, and
in a short time, will, doubtless, be ready
for almost any emergency. There are
now stationed at the Barracks at Barran
cas about 500 Alabama troops.—Mont

Dangerously Cut. —Last Saturday
night, two men, William Hooks and Jesse
Barker, both residing near the Mobile
and Girard, Railroad, about two and one
half miles from this place, got into an
altercation at the houso of the latter,
which resulted in Hooks being very
badly cut in the back and hip. Barker
was examined on Monday, before Justice
Pullum, and committed for trial. Hooks
though daugerously wounded, it is
thought, will recover.

Tbe legitimate effect of this immigration
will be to degrade and prostrate white

An “Irrepressible Conflict” in New
Jersey.
It appears that. Capt. Gracie, of New
York, was a captain of a militray com
pany in Mobile, and was ordered by the
Governor of the State to the protection of
Fort Morgan, near Mobile, where, as a
soldier, Le executed the oyders of that
State. Capt. Gracie has been in Eliza
beth, N. J., for some days, on a visit to
his wife and children, who reside there
—but was about returning to Mobile. On
Wednesday night a rough ciowd, the
tools of Abolitionists, doubtless, gathered
around his mother-in-law’s dwelling,
(Mrs. Mayo,) and hung Mr. Gracie in
effigy, firing Roman candles, and burning
a tar barrel, with great noise and yells.
After this administration they returned
in procession. A poster was put up, du
ring the night, threatening Mr. Gracie
with “tar and feathers,” if he did not
leave within twenty-four hours, and de
claring him to be a “traitor” for serving
in the Mobile forces. It was the intention
oi Mr. G to leave, but he now intends to
stay, to give them an opportunity to
carry out their threats. He has a large
number of friends in Elizabeth, who have
promised to defend him from violence at
all hazards.
From tbe Richmond Dispatch.
Disgraceful Suspicious.
We doubt whether, since the founda
tion of this Government, anything half so
disgusting, discreditable and disgraceful
to tbe character of the United States has
occurred as the plot to impute a plot to
the Southern people for the assassiuation
of Lincoln. The suspicions constantly
expressed by his friends would be only
ludicrous if they did not involve so seri
ously the reputation of the country.
They suspect everybody and everything
of being combined to kill Abraham Lin
coin ; they suspect their own friends ;
they examine railroad seats before he
sits down, and even carriages are search
ed lest their beloved prophet might sud
denly be transported to Heaven in a
chariot of fire. Even the abolition town
of Newark, New Jersey, which exports
more clothing and carriages to the South
than any other town in New Jersey,
could not be trusted. The carriages pro
vided by the committee of reception were
examined before the august and beautiful
person of Abraham was esconced therein.
What a set of Thugs and assassins these
men must be themselves to suspect every
body else of such crimes ? What a coun
try this must be if tbeir suspicions are
just! What miscreants they are if those
suspicions are unfounded ! We don’t be
lieve that in all these United States there
lives the man who has ever dreamed of
laying violent, hands on the mcient Ape
of the Frairies.
An Extravagant French Marchion
ess.
An extravagant marchioness was lately
assailed by a number of Paris tradesmen
for payment of SOO,OOO debts. The hus
bad proved in court that he allowed her
S6OOO a year, and that only five years
ago he paid $120,000 of her deb ts. The
wife replied that she brought him $1,000,-
000 dowry. Among the items were sheets
at SSOO a pair, and an expenditure of
S4OO for pistols, powder, balls and caps.
This charge decided tbe court to non suit
tbe creditors.

Great Excltemeut In Hue Conalte
Neighborhood.
We are assured on good authority that
a gang of runaway negroes, about four
teen in number, are depredating almost
with impunity on the propextyof citizens
living on the eastern side of the Comite
River in this parish They have been
frequently seen in squads, some of them
armed with shot guns, and in one instance
a gun was put on the head of a white man
by one of four negroes who emerged from
the bushes just as the former was in the
act of securing one of their comrades.
Two white men are with these negroes,
both armed with double-barrel guns, and
doubtless are the instigators of their
thieving and insolence. An expedition is
on foot to capture the whole party If it
succeeds, the white villains will get their
reward. Os course much excitement and
apprehension exist in the neighborhood.
Baton Rouge Advocate, 2d mat.
Items from the Pensacola Observer, of
the 4th inst:
By the arrival of the steamship “At
lantic” from Havana, this morning and
through the kindness of her Purser, we
learn that the steamship Daniel Webster,
(which it will be recollected has been
cleared some days since from New York
for Texas,) on the 25th ult. landed at
Fort Taylor, Key West, 60 men and pro
visions, and left for Tortugas with 62
men and provisions also, for Fort Jeffer
son.
Resignation. —We learn on good au
thority that Maj. Chase has resigned his
position as Commander of the forces at
the Navy Yard, and that Col. Forney will
remain in command until further orders
from the Executive Department of the
Confederate States.

Special dispatch to the Petersburg Express.
Richmond, March G, 10 p. in.—The
coercion policy of Lincoln, so plainly
avowed in his inaugural, has produced a
tremendous reaction in this comuuity.
The changes already are reported to be as
high as 700, and it is hourly on the in
crease.
Last night at an early hour the African
Church was packed with one of the most
intelligent and influential auditories ever
assembled within its wails, to hear an
address from the Hon. James A. Seddon,
late a member of the Peace Congress
from this State.
The speaker w T as greeted and cheered
throughout his able and eloqueDt speech
with a vehemence which could have been
only prompted by the most intense en
thusiasm; and when, after recounting all
the aggressions of the Black Republicans,
he asked, “ Where was Virginia to go ?”
there was one simultaneous, universal
shout of “Go out of the Union” went
up from three thousand tongues, which
fairly shook the building.
Recognition of I lie Confederate
States of America.
A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American, says that
England will certainly receive a Commis
sioner from the Confederate States of
America, and acknowledge our indepen
dence. The Paris correspondent of the
Boston Post says that the Emperor Na
poleon will do likewise. In such an
event the blockade of Southern ports
by Yankee ships, would be a most peril
ous undertaking. It would be certain to
call down the vengeance of the great
maritime powers of Europe.
The Inaugural in Virginia.
A dispatch from Petersburg, the 6th
inst., says : Thousands of our people who
have been heretofore for the UnioD, on
the reception of Lincoln’s Inaugural, de
clared for revolution if the Convention
does not immediately pass the *Secession
Ordinance. The Richmond Whig (Con
servative) says Lincoln’s policy indicated
towards the Seceding States will meet the
stern unyielding resistance of a United
South. The Enquirer (Secession) says
no action of our Convention can now
maintain peace, Virginia must fight. Che
Dispatch says every border State ought
to go out of the Union in twenty-four
hours.
A dispatch from Staunton, of the same
date says : Lincoln’s Inaugural was re
ceived here with general dissatisfaction.
All parties will resist coercion.
A dispatch from Washington states that
Buchanan signed the new Tariff Bill be

Interesting from Washington.
Washington, March 7. — Senate
Hon. Mr. Wigfall’s speech in his response
to Douglas’ peech of yesterday, aid that
it was nonsense to mlk a? Lincoln did
of the unbroken Union. Seven States
are out, and never, never, never, to re
turn. It (he Government did not remove
the troops from Forts Sumter and Pick
ens # the Confederate States would. The
nil I'nion remains to see whether it shall
have a decent funeral or an Irish wake.
Mr. Douglas reiterated that the Inaug
ural was indicative of peace.
Mr. Wigfall said an attempt to collect
the revenue, or to reinforce Fort Sumter,
would be considered coercion
Mr. Douglas said that he learned from
the best military authority that it would
require ten thousand troops, and the
whole American Navy, to reinforce Fort
Sumter, and they must have bread and
salt provisions for thirty-one days.
The Senate was not in secret session
to day.
Washington, March 6.— Noon.—The
inaugural is still the topic of excited con
versation among the political quid nuncs
in the hotel halls. The Abolitionists are
delighted, and say that the “revolted”
States will soon begin to feel that there
is a Government in Washington.
A special messenger leaves the city to
day for PeDsaeola. His mission is to
annul all the arrangements made by Ex-
Secretary Toucey.
The Republicans in the high places say
that heavy reinforcements will speedily be
sent both to Forts Sumter and Pickens.
The names of John Sherman, John
Hickman, and John C. Fremont, are
spoken of in connection with the respect
ive missions of England, Spain and
France. Fremont left for Europe in the
last steamer from New York, and, it is
said, was offered, before he started, a
place in Lincoln’s Cabinet, which he de
clined.
The friends of Seward say that he is
preparing a plan of policy for (he admin
istration looking to the preservation of
peace; but fears are eutcriained that
Chase and Greeley will defeat the whole
scheme before it cun be laid before the
Cabinet, and ruin Seward with his party
besides.
The impression here is that the new
Cabinet is too incongruous to hold to
gether long.
It is thought to night that Hon. J J.
Crittenden will be nominated for the va
cant seat on the Supreme Bench, instead
of Black. In that event, Black will pro
bably feel a little blue.
10, p. tu — I am reliably informed that
Lincoln will peremptorily refuse to re
ceive the Southern Commissioners.
There is a terrific pressure here for 1
office. Thousands of Abolition patriots,
who are anxious to serve their country,
have surrounded the White House doors
all day.
Washington, March B. —Mr. Foster,
of Connecticut, offered the following pre
amble and resolution:
Whereas, Senator Wigfall has declared,
in debate, that he is foreigner, and owes !
his allegiance to Texas and a foreign Gov
ernment, and not to the United States,
therefore be it—
Resolved, That, as Texas is no longer -
one of Hie United States, she is entitled
to no Representative on the floor of the
Senate.
Mr. Wigfall being absent, no action j
was taken.
The Senate then went into Executive ;
Session, and confirmed Mr. Judd as I
Minister to Berlin.
After which, the Senate adjourned un- :
til Monday.
Washington, March B —Col. Lorenzo
Thomas has been appointed Adjutant
General, in place of Col. Cooper, resign
ed.
Secretary Seward is quite unwell to
day.
Messrs. Forsyth and Crawford, of the
Southern Commissioners, have as yet,
made no official communication to the
Administration, owing to the sickness of
Mr. Seward, and also to the fact that they
were informed of an intimation to the ef
fect that a little time would be agreeable.
The Commissioners are actively en
gaged in consultation, and in effectual in
tercourse, having reference to the object
of their mission.
Great efforts are being made here to
effect a peaceable solution of the ques
tions of Forts and the revenue.
Special Dispatch to the Charleston Mercury.
Washington, March 8. —It is now iuii
mated in the best informed political cir
cles here, that if Seward should get
control of the Cabinet, the Commissieners
of the Confederate States will be respect
fully heard. The Commissioners say
they are quite hopeful to-day. The.com
munication withthenow Administration,
for prudential reasons, will be postponed
for a few days, until the terrible outside
pressure of the office-hunters upon the
Cabinet shall have diminished somewhat.
Hon. A. B. Roman has not yet been heard
from. He is, I believe, on his way to
this city.
Ex-Attorney-General Black remarked
yesterday that he would not be surprised
to see President Davis and lady dispens
ing the hospitalities of the White House

she is left at the mercy of the abolition

this is not true. My men stood at. their

Chandler. Lodge, No. 155, I
Cusseta, Georgia, Feb. 23, 1801./
Whereas, we have lost from our midst our
worthy brother, William 8. Johnson, a past
master of this Lodge, who was respected by all
who knew him for the extent of his Masonic
and legal attainments, and who in the various
relations of life shed around him the influences
cf a virtinrus Christian character and cultivated
intellect. Feeling that it is our duty thus to
testify our respect for Ids memory, and regret
ing his loss, be it
Resolved, That the members of this Lodge, as
well as the community, deeply feel the loss
they have sustained in the death of their
brother and friend, Wm. 8. Johnson, and now
record for him their appreciation of him as a
gentleman of a warm heart and refined feelings,
and a lawyer of high attainments.
Resolved, While all who knew him could but
love and respect him, none but the members of
the fraternity of which he was an honored
member, can properly appreciate the many
virtues of our deceased brother.
Resolved, That the menbers of the craft wear
the usual badge of mourning thirty days. That
a copy of these resolutions be published in the
Columbus papers; a copy be presented to the
family of the deceased, and that a page of our
record he dedicated to the memory of the
deceased. W r . T. C. BRANNEN,)

DIED,
On Sunday, March 10, in this city, Marvin B.
Avert, in the 59th year of his age. ‘For the last
twenty years a resident of Apalachicola, Ila.
At Mount Meigs. Montgomery county. Ala.,
on the 3d inst., Mrs. Virginia A., consort of Mr.
John B. Scott, and daughter of Major John 11.
Howard, of Columbus.
How painful it is to record the demise of this
lovely woman. Just entering life, so full of bright
hopes and joyous pleasures; but yesterday, as
it were, standing t the sacred altar the beautiful
bride, the idol of happy hearts, and the pride of
affectionate parents; to-day, the food of worms,
her cold, lifeless form in the embrace of death
and the darkness of the solitary tomb her abode
and resting place. In her were tiie beauties of
a pure analovely character, so fully developed
that none refused to give her praise. Amiable,
gentle, kind, tli* dear friend, the devoted sis
ter, the obedient daughter, the heavenly w ife,
her presence was the dispenser of jov and
goodness, and her sweet society the soul of
happiness and love. How can we part with
her? How bid a last adieu to one so dear?
How close the coffin lid and let down into the
grave this bright spirit? In the Heavenly
Mansion, around the throne of the Great I Am,
where joys are evermore and where there L no
sorrow, let ps meet to part no more— Ed. Times.
At the residence of her husband. Major John
11. Howard, on the night of the sth inst., Mrs.
Caroline Howard. That her loss will be deeply
felt in this community and wherever else her
many virtues were known and appreciated, is
attested by the fact, that for years she had borne,
to the admiration of a widely extended circle of
friends, the excellent and beautiful character
istics of a Christian wife, mother and neighbor.
The loss of children, raised with care and
anxiety to years of maturity, had loosened her
tenure’ upon life, and the sudden and unexpec
ted shock of her youngest, ushered from the
altar to the tomb, was too much for the erief
burdened heart of the mother.
•She has left behind her pleasant memories of
her kind and womanly virtues to her friends,
to her children an example of motherly devo
tion. and to the partner of her joys and sorrows
for almost half a century of ‘-happy years,’’ the
only consolation his heart can know, that -die
so lived while here, as to enjoy her reward in a
blissful eternitv.

1 T AM now receiving the GENUINE ROCK
A PLASTER, from Nova Scotia, and grinding
it for planter’s cso. I can furnish any quantity
of it that planters may want, put up in sacks of
any size or barrels of from three to five hundred
pounds in each. I have tried all kinds of Manure
for the last ten years, end I am convinced that
the Genuine Laud piaster, fresh ground from lire
rock, is tire beat Mc.nure we can use on our lands
for making Corn, Wheat or Cotton, or anything
else that the ground produces; in your gardens,
for Vegetables, it is the bo6t Manure you can use,
it will prevent tiro cut worm from your early
vegetables
I will give all necessary directions fc,r the use
of this valuable fertilizer. Price is $26 per ton,
and smaller quantities in proportion.
Call at the Palace Mills, where you can see the
process of grinding and pioparing for use.
