TH one of the best Purgative and Liver Medicine
now before the public, that acts as a Cathartic,
easier, raitder, and more effectual than any other

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1858.
My Life is Like the Scattered Wreck
1 BY THE LATE R. EMMETT IIOOE, V. S. N.
“My life is 1 ike the Summer Ro te.”-R.H. Wilde
.\ly life is like the scattered wreck
Cast by the waves upon the shore ;
The broken masts, tho rifted deck,
Tell of the shipwreck that is o’er;
Vet from these relics of the storm,
The manner his raft wiji form,
Again to tempt the faithless sea—
But hope rebuilds no bark for me.
My life is like the blighted oak,
That lilts its seer and wither, and form
Scathed by the lightning’s sudden stroke,
Mernly to meet the coming i-iorm ;
Yet round that sapless trunk entwine
The curling tendrils of the vine,
And life and freshness there impart—
Not to the passion-blighted heart.
My life is like the desert rock
In the mid-ocean lone and drear ;
Worn by the wild wave's ceaseless shock,
That round its base their surges roar ;
Yet there the sea-moss still will cling—
Some flower will find a cleft to spring,
And breathe e’en there a sweet pertume—
For me, lite’s flowers no more will bloom.
Political Intelligence.
The proceedings of the recent American
State council of New York justify the con
clusion that while the Americans and re
publicans of that State will not merge their
two organizations into one, and thus be
come one party for the campaign of 1860,
it is the design and policy ot the active
men in both to patch up a coalition this fall
which shall afford them n hope of carrying
the State. The proceedings of the Araeri
: can council point to such a policy, while
the tone of the speeches is distinctly ad
i verse to any surrender, by the friends of
Mr. Crittenden, of any portion of their
strength for the benefit of Mr. Seward in
the next presidential campaign. The time
and place fixed for the American State
Convention, are the same as for the repub
lican convention, evincing not only a will
ingness, but an anxiety for a “truck and
dicker” with that organization.
Hon. George E. i’ugli is busily engaged
in canvassing tho State ofOliio.
The Easton (I’a.) Senlii.el states that it
does not remember ever to have seen the
democracy of Northampton county “more
harmonious and more thoroughly united
: than at the present time. From every por
tion of the county we bear but one senti
ment, and that is, ‘there is nothing wrong
in our neighborhood.’ indeed the same
; may he said of the whole senatorial and
! congressional district. So plainly is this
fact made known that we doubt very much
whether the opposition will be able to find
a man verdant enough to accept a nomina
ion for Congress at their hands in this dis
trict, for it can scarcely be expected that
any sane mao will be willing to spend his
money on the. empty honor of a nomina
tion, with defeat staring him in the lace at
every step he takes.”
Col. Alfred \V. Johnson, the democratic
nominee for Congress in the third congres
sional district of Maine, was unanimously
nominated on the firsl ballot. A -Maine pa
per says of him that he is “a sound nation
al man in his politics', an especial ha er of
all sectionalism, and abominates know
nothmgism, Maine-lavvism, and black-re
publicanism, as an honest, r'gh'-miuded
man should do. Black-repuhlicans don't
like him. Catch-penny politics and lime
serving politicians receive no favor from
hint. He knows and understands the in
terests of this district, and is qualified by
education and experience to maintain them
with efficiency at Washington.”
Inthe seventh congressional district of
Illinois there are three candidates in tho
field. P. B. Shepherd is the democratic
candidate, R. .1. Oglesby, the republican,
and James Robinson the Douglas can
didate.

The Secretary of the Navy visited the;

noon, where he was received with all the j
honors. He visited the Lancaster, the dry- I
dock, and the receiving ship. During the j
evening he was serenaded at the Girard
House by Beck’s Philadelphia Silver Band, j
After several airs had been performed, he
was introduced to the large company pres- |
ent by lion. Thomas B. Florence. Mr.
Toucey acknowledged the attention paid
j him in a few remarks by complimenting
; ihe mechanical skill of the workmen in the
Philadelphia navy-yard. Subsequently, Hon
Thomas B Florence and Wm. Badger, esq.,

the mayor in a triumphal car drawn by tho
young men, who headed a procession com-
I posed of the military and fire companies
and an immense throng of citizens. On
reaching the terminus of the grand parade
au address of welcome was read, which was
appropriately and feelingly replied to by
Gen. Williams. Salutes were fired, bells
! rung, flags displayed and other demonstra
: tions of delight made. The display was
very enthusiastic, and highly flattering to
j the hero of Kars. A grand levee was held
in Temperance Hall, where he received the
congratulations of the citizens. — Wash.

The United States sloop-of-war St. Louis
was launched on Saturday at tho Brooklyn
navy-yard. She is to carry eighteen guns.
The launch took place at 7.20, when but
few persons were present—the major part
being the yard-workmen, and those engaged
in constructing the ship. On board were
Commodore Kearney and other naval offi
cers, together with the constructor and a
few friends. All being in readiness, the
signal was given, and a moment after the
the sloop glided into the water, going but a
short distance from the ways. She carried
the stars and stripes at her stern and the
Union Jack at her fore, and presented a
fine appearance. After the launch was
over, the vessel was towed up to one of
the wharves and secured. She will be im
mediately made ready for service.

On the 21st of July, Col. Monroe, with
companies A. C. and I, 4th aitiliery, was
still at Laramie, as also was Major Graham’s
company of 3d dragoons. Capt. Roberts
had marched for Platte Bridge with his
company 7, and Capt. Getty’s company of
the same regiment. Col. Monroe had also
ordered companies L. Brevet-Major Wil
liams, and M. Capt. Brown, from Cotton
wood, to join him at Laramie.
It was generally understood at Fort La
ramie that two companies of the 4th artil
lery, taken from the force at Laramie, would
garrison the new post at the Cheyenne
Pass, and that Bent’s Fort (also anew post)
will be occupied by two companies of the
same regiment, (one detailed from Laramie,
the other from Kearney) and company D.
second dragoons.
The troops at Fort Scott were to return
to Fort Randall, their former station.
On the 9th inst. a detachment of 4th ar
tillery convalescents, with the laundresses
and company-women of that regiment, left
Fort Leavenworth for Laramie under the
charge of Capt. J. S. Garland, of the 4th.
Minnesota—Money is so scarce in this
State; that large property holders’ are
sell real eslate at half its cost
a year or two since to obtain the bare
necessaries of life. Provisions are, howev
er, cheap. The terrible speculative mania
has produced an inflation almost unpre
cedented, and considerable time must
elapse before the people cm recover from
the reaction. At St. Paul, the depression
is the worst. City scrip is sellingat a
discount of 75 cents on the dollar, and coun
ty scrip is but little belter.
A correspondent of the Boston Courier
denies the truth of the statement which
appeared among the last foreign news to the
effect that the American company which un
dertook to raise the ships at Sebastopol had
failed, and the ships were so rotten as to be
worthless. He states that the business of
the Sub-marine Company was never in a

From Utah.—The New York Times has
dates from Utah to July 24. There is
nothing specially important in the news.
The Times’ correspon dent discusses the
probability of Brigham Young’s accepting
the proposal of Col. Kinney to dispose of a
portion of his Nicaraguan grant to the Mor

tho conclusion that the chances are against
it. Young keeps himself closely immured
within the walls of his house, andrefuses to
receive any visitors. He discontinued
preaching some time ago, on account of his
sermons being reported for the Gentile

EfIUJMBUS TIMES,
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1.
Our Daily.
We discontinue, to-day, our Tri-Weekly, and
commence the issuing of a daily paper. This
step, the subject of deliberation, perhaps ot resolve
under the preceding administration, was definitely
determined upon when tho paper passed into the
hands of its present proprietors. Tho change has
been induced by a due regard to our own in
terests, the requirements of tho times and the sug
gestions of friendly counsel. With a semi-daily
mail Rom the great centres oi trade and commerce
it was rarely our privilege., under the tri-weekly
system, to furnish our readers with news- With
the same means of information, and others in ad
dition, which a daily issue warrants, our active
and vigilant coteinporary of the Sun generally
anticipated us in information respecting the eon
dtiion ol the markets and other matters of general
intelligence. We need hardly to add that the
impulse given to inquiry on those subjects, by the
recent and greatest triumph of science aggravates
the necessity of the course we have adopted. We
shall endeavor to make the Times more accep
table to the merchant and general read,r—in a
word, more of a newspaper, than it has ever been.
Having already the benefit of a large list of ex
changes, we shall cheerfully submit to whatever
expense may ho necessary to furnish its readers
wi ll the latest telegraphic intelligence. Whilst
this is our promise, we will strive to make it to the
interest of the merchant and the publie who may
want an advertising medium, to supply us with the
means ot performance. Our eirculaiion, now
large mthe scope eff country which trades in this
city, wo are making strenuous efforts to increase.
The result already reached has outsuipped onr
most sanguine calculations, and assures us of ulti
mate success. To the subscribers and patrons of
our Tri-Weekly, we feel sineerely thankful for
their support, and we hope, by increased effort, to
merit a still larger measure of favor- The Daily
will be sent to all who are on the Tri Weekly
subscription list, and the first issue to many who
are not and never were subscribers to the limes H
Sentinel, in the hope that such of our friends will
respond to the suggestion thus conveyed. For
the sake of convenience and better appearance, we
have assumed to change cur name which was
adopted upon the urdon ot the “Times” and
“Sentinel,” and will |,e known hereafter, by the
title of our illustrious sire, the “Columbus Times.”
The Weekly will be issued on Tuesday as here
tol'ore ; the Daily w ril be distributed early every
morning.
News every clay from Europe.
The newspapers are now Hi led with daily com
munications from Europe. To enquire ol the
health oi the Queen to-day or who lias the floor
inthe British Parliament, will be questions which
the news-carriers can answer with perfect certain
ty. Ind-ed the effect of thus annihilating time
and overcoming distance between Europe and
America will have a tendency to draw together, |
as with “hooks of steel,” tho bond of friendship j
and union between these great nations of the earth. ;
The old declaration of 1776 is almost forgotten in |
the joyonsnees of the present and we feel like one ‘
people—a people living under the laws of Alfred |
and speaking the language of Shakespeare and j
Milton. The old ocean kisses the countries and j
our Statesmen and the crowned heads of Europo
converse, as (he Philosophers of Rome in the same
forum. It is an august conception I
Besides the additional interest it will give lo com
merce—besides the glory which attends so bril
liant cn achievement as the success of the Atlantic
cable—the friendly and daily interchange of
thought and sentiment will link together in the
chain of brotherly lovo, England and America.—
The memories of’76 are forgotten—the voices of
Chatham and Burke, vindicating our cause, ore
hushed—the right ol search is abandoned and En
gland and America strike hands on their march
to the fulfilment of their own separate destiny.—
So mole it be!
Captured Africans, 300 at Castle
Pinckney.
It will be seen from the telegraphic dispatches,
that the brig “Echo” was captured off the Coast
‘of Cuba, by the U. g. man-of-war, Dolphin, and
i3 now at Charleston harbor. The Africans have
been transferred from the Echn to Castle Pinck
ney, where a command of United States troops
are placed over them. They wore taken from the
Guinea Cost, and number three hundred—two
hundred and sixty males, and forty females. Six
teen seamen were captured and are lodged in jail
in Charleston. It is said, they will carry the Cap
tain, for trial to Boston—a pretty place by the
way, where it cost the United States $50,000 to
execute the fugitive slave law, and remand the
slave Burns to his owner in Virginia.
‘The crew were half Americans and half Span
iards. The negroes are represented as preferring
to live in the Untied States than return to Africa—
that they will be taken again—placed in the bar
racoons and sent again to Cuba. We presume
the officers of the brig Echo will le tried for a
violation of the laws of the United Stale3.
Believing it to be humanity to bring ilia negroes
from Africa—believing that history proves that the
African, when left to his own resources, will not
advance in civilization—that his faculties are inti
tative, not inventive, and be will advance only
when brought in contact with or held in subjection
to a superior race, we would prefer having the
capiuied Africans remain in the United t-tates,
than returned to Africa. At the same time we
are opposed to there-opening of the slave-trade,
as a question of policy.
Illinois Crops—Politics &c.
From a private letter recently received from
Illinois, we are permitted to make a lew extracts
concerning politics and the crops. Speaking of
Judge Douglas, the writer says, “he is canvassing
the State for re-election to the Senate, and mod
estly entertains the opinion that his qualifications
are of the highest order, and his claims second to
nono. His defeat would be hailed with great joy,
and I would be pleased to see him rewarded for
his pa it treachery, bui, as a last alternative, would
vote for him in preference to Lincoln. We feel
that the Lecompton Constitution reflected the
voice of the voting people of Kansas—that all the
forms of law —ab ovo usque ad malum —from be
ginning to end—had been complied with prior to
the presentation of the Lecompton Constitution to
Congress and that Mr. Douglas was too hasty in
opposing its acceptance and attacking the Presi
dent’s Message. Still, if tho Administration men
do not ran a third candidate—Mr. Breese or Fiteh—
they will support Mr. Douglas rather than elect
the Black Republican ticket. They hope by this
very conciliatory course, to smooth the last rip
plinga of the hitherto ruffled waves of party har
mony. There are good, true, and staunch demo
crats however, who have lost confidence in Judge
Douglas’ fidelity to his party, and who will not
vote for him under any circumstances. The Le
gislature will probably have a Republican majori
ty, and Judge Douglas will be defeated.
Farmers are busy thrashing out their Wheat.
Various estimates are made as to the probable
yield. In some sections, we havo glowing ac
counts, but in this part of tho State (Southern,) we
will not make more than half a crop. The aver
age crop will bo about fifteen bushels to the acre.
Tho rust has destroyed the wheat in some places.
The Com crop is very fine, considering the back
wardness of the season. Not a grain was put in
the earth before the Ist of June. It is now in tas
sel and looks well and flourishing. Even that
planted as late as the 15ihof July looks healthy,
and will make coin without bad luck. We have
a lew fields with roasting oars.
The Oat crop is well near an entire failure. Tho
The rust, seldom known to attack the oats, has
destroyed the prospect of a crop. Few fields will
be harvested. The Spring Wheat too, is a failure.
The wet weather and rust ruiued it. Fortunately
there was not a heavy crop plantod. llay promis
es an unprecedentedly large yield. Irish potatoes
in abnndanco and apples in large quantities-
Sonia ot the formers plant Hungarian Grass.
It matures early and resembles Millet. They
think it will be valuable.”
CUnrclica In f.'olumlMis.
The Methodist denomination of Christians in
ibis City have finished a small Church in the low
er part of the City', which was dedicated a foxv
weeks since, as ‘‘Soule Chapel”—They have also
in progress oi erection a beautiful brick Church
at the corner of Bryan aud Troup Stieets. The
walls are nearly completed and, we understand,
the workmanship of the interior ot the building is
to be of the most finished character. A pastor
will have lo be sent this Church by the Georgia
Conference.
The Baptists havo subscribed $19,000 up to this
date f r the building ol anew Church. It will be
located upon the present beautiful site and will oc
cupy the centre ol the lot. The face of the Church
will be changed from Randolph to Jackson street.
It. will be completed in handsome style.
The Presbyterians have purchased the lot upon
which is situated the residence of Capt, Schley at
the corner ol Oglethorpe and St. Clair streets and
will soon commence the erection of a Church. It
willtace Oglethorpe Street, In addition to the ar
rangement for new Churches in the City, the Bap
tists and Methodists have built neat Churches in
Girard, Alabama.
l’lie New Bridge,
What is the reason sernething is not done with
the Now Bridge, is an inquiry we havo grown
tired at hearing. About twelve thousand dollars
have been invested in that structure and for want
of an additional expenditure of fifteen hundred
dollars it reems destined to remain an object fit
only for the gaze of the curious and as destitute of
all practical utility as if, instead of spanning the
river, it had been built in the direction of the
moon. It was built by contribution from the busi
ness men and property holders in the upper part of
tho City under the idea, we presume, that their
respective interests would be promoted thereby.—
When the chief difficulties havo been surmounted
and the anticipated results are within their grasp, a
spirit of “masterly-inactivity” suddenly arrests tho
enterprise and threatens to convert the outlay into
dead, unproductive capital. Anew business season
opens to-day and we hope tho reflection will
excite anew interest in this matter which will
pustt forward the work to a speedy completion,
Fcxcii the Producer of Yeelow Fevf.r.—A
writer in a Now Orleans paper says there can be
no doubt that the poison producing yellow fever
; is fungi diffused through the atmosphere, just as
| the odoriferous particles of a rose or other frag
j rant flowers are diffused through it, and are known ‘
j by their saluting our olfactories on approaching
j them early in the morning. These of the night,
j in tliis ease, have exerted a solvent power over
; the flower, tho atmosphere tor some distance
j around being filled with them in lev.r time. But
j neither chemical analysis nor the microscope is
abfe to detect such an agreeable impression on
the senses ; neither have they been able to detect
the subtle poison that produces yellow fever.
Whatever, then, may be the cause producing the
lever, one tiling is believed to be certain, viz: that
it is diffused through the atmosphere, and that
whoever breathes a sufficient quantity of that at
mosphere to imbibe a certain amount otlhe puison,
will have the disease.

circulation within the intelligent circles of both

the means of inter-communication and the taste

sults of great intellectual effort, well calculated to
sustain that high teputation.

To the Editor of the Rome Courier b. Statesman :
“Where ignorance is bliss ’tis lolly to bo wise.”
The editorial article in your paper ol the2st!
August, was written by some person, who was
unfortunately unacquainted with the law and de~
cisions ot the Supreme Court—or more unfortu
nately not disposed to state them correctly.
It has been long the well settled law of Eng
land and the United States and Georgia, that up
on the dissolution ol the corporation,all thedebts
due to aud from it. are extinguished. See Judge
Lumpkin in Moultrie vs. Brailie et al.
II this will not salisly you, permit me to refer
you to the piece 3igned “Fiat Justitia,” published
in tho Times If Sentinel of Columbus of ,24th
August, 1858, and beg you to look at the authori
ties therein cited.
You havo been almost as unfortunate in your
notice of the decisions of the Supremo Court.
It has not beeu four limes decided by that Court,
nor is the decision at the !a-t Term oi the Supreme
Court, the first one in which such decision was
made.
It has been in all the eases recognized by the
Supreme Court, tbat at Common Law, tho debts
due to and from the corporation, are extinguished
by the dissolution of the charter, and this is not
confined to Bank charters ; but to all private cor
porations; Judges Warner, Neshit, Lumpkin, and
Starns’s, holding that this principle does not ex
tend to the stockholders.
This was held in Lane vs. Morris, 8 Ga. Rep's.
468. The same was heid in Thornton vs. Lane,
8 Gt. Rep's, when after elaborate arguments of
more than eight days continuance which closed on
Saturday night the judges (Nesbit having left the
Court on Sunday morning) delivered their opinion
on Monday morning II the argument was long
and elaborate, the consultation of the Court is cer
tainly free from that charge.
In Moultrie vs. Sniffle et al., Judge Lumpkin
and Starnes, no doubt, with the same mature de
iiberalion on the principle of “stare decia/s,” did
decide (Benning dissenting,) that the directors were
liable.
Here your decisions end.
In Robison vs. Lane, 19 Ga. Rep’s, the Court
did not decide that upnn a dissolution f the char
ter, the stockholders were liable. Judge Lump
kin did, J udge McDonald admited the old common
law principle, (indeed no Judge has denied it,) but
decides that the judgment of forfeiture was not
completo because no execution had been sued out
on the judgment of forfeiture, and on that ground
decided agaiu-t Robison (the stockholder.)
In Moultrie vs. Hoge, 21 Ga. Reps. 513, Judges
McDonald and Penning,(Judge Lumpkin dissent
ing) decided that upon the expiration of the char
ter of the Commercial Bank of Macon, the debts
due to and fiom it were extinguished, and that the
directors were no longer liable.
This case was decided at January Term, 1857,
of the Supreme Court at Macon, one year, and
eight months before the decision was made by the
same Judges at Macon in 1858.
Why was no censure or clamor raised about
this decision ? Because it was not. in one of Col.
Dougherty’s cases. But lor him and his associates,
who havo purchased the bills at an immense dis
count (indeed for little or nothing) Heaven and
Earth must be moved, the Judges censured and
held up to publie reproach and the Court itself
abolished—and for what ! To aid reckless spe
culators upon the misfortunes of the unfortunate
stockholders and help Col. Dougherty to make
a fortune by the violation of tile laws and the
commission of an offence that subjects him to pro
secution and fine and imprisonment at the discre
tion of the Court.
For Judge Benning, ho and his friends have no
fear. Truth is mighty and will prevail. The
people of Georgia are honest and generous, and
when they know the truth, will protect an upright
man and an honest and fearless officer. C.
Tlie Captured Africans-
The Key of the Gulf, (Key West,) pub
lishing an extra, giving an account of this
capture, says:
The prize had on her stern “Echo,” and
painted out was “Putnam of New Orleans”
The crew consisted of twenty men—half
American and half Spanish. No one would
acknowledge the command ; the supposed
and probable captain—who is evidently an
American—upon the question being ask
ed, “Who is captain ?” replied, with the
utmost coolness and dignity, “All are cap
tains.” The vessel’s papers, colors, and
everything calculated to identify her, or
those connected with her, were destroyed
immediately upon the conviction that es
cape was impossible.
Cap. Mafliu put Lieutenants J. M. Brad
ford aud C, C. Carpentei, with tweu y men
on board, confined the brig’s crew in double
irons—except the supposed captain, who,
was taken on board the Dolphin, where he
now is in double irons—and ordered the
vessel to Charleston for adjudication, for
which port all sail was then made, and the
two vessels parted comp iny.
Two sick passengers— against whom
there was no proof of complicity—were ta
ken on board the Dolphin and put ashore
at this place.
This is the first slaver . ;it ur <1 by an
American man-of-war, and the prize with
slaves sent to a Uui'ed States p ut ; and it
cannot fail to create con-iderublt* excite
ment at Washington, and indeed through
out the country.
Tite prize had on board when taken,
about th-ee hundred and thirty Africans,
mostly young—none of whom were over
thirty-five years of age ; and there was evi
dently several births on the voyage. More
than seven-eighths of the slaves, male and
female, were in a nude state. They were
confined to the deck in a sitting posture —
“spoon fashion.” Originally, there were
470 taken on .board, of which number 140
had died.
Among Ihe incidents of the capture, we
learn, that the night before that event, the
vessel being within about eighty miles of
the port of destination , a grand champagne
“blow out” was had on board in anticipa
tion of soon succesßful y completing the
voyage and fingering the proceeds—of
which we are informed each of the crew
were to receive §>9oo, and the owners ex
pected to dear §130.000 ; but before they
iiad had lime to sleep offlhe effects of their
potations, the Dolphin hove in sight at
daylight, much to their surprise and cha
grin. Also, during the chase, when it was
thought by the slavers that their vessel was
distancing the Dolphin, they again indulg
ed in champagne, drinking confusion to
the pursuers, leaning over the rail and
howling and tossing off a bumper in the
most approved and “don’t-you-wish-you—
could-catch-us” style. But when the last
shot was fired, going between her masts,
their self-a-surance and hopes of escape
turned to tear and excitement, and after
the capture, they expressed great astonish
ment as to the accuracy of the shot, and
asked “what kind of a gun sent a bail that
distance.”

80° 20‘. When first discovered the slaver
was sailing under Enhiish colors, but per
ceiving the Dolphiii, whom he took to be
an English vessel-ofowar, he hoisted Ameri
can colors. When he discovered his egre
gious aud fatal error, he made the most
strenuous efforts to escape ; but a few well
directed shots from the Dolphin, brought
him to reason, and he surrendered at dis
cretion. The slaver, still deeming the
Dolphin an Englishman, did not anticipate
a search or visitation while he displayed
American colors.
Lieut. Maffit writes that their cruise has
been anything but pleasant, as they find the
yellow fever prevailing wherever duty calls.
Toe following is a list of the officers of
the U. States brig Dolphin :
.1. N. Maffit, Lieutenant Commanding.
J. M. Bradford, Ist Lieutenant.
E. P. Williams, 2d Lieutenant.
C. C. Carpenter, 3d Lieutenant.
.1. M. Browne, Passed Assistant Surgeon.
A. F. Grosman, Acting Master.
From Lieut. Bradford we learn that the
Echo bail 318 Africans on board when cap
tured—twelve have since died, and the ba
lance ace suffering somewhat from d\seo
tery. Suspicious were fj:st excited by the
Echo’s suddenly hauling off from the coast,
and upon the firing oi’ blank cartridges,
hoisting the American flag. The Dolphin
then gave chase, and proving herself the
better sailer brought the Et ho to. Lieut.
Bradford, with a force of sixteen men,
boaided the Echo, and found bet in the
hands of u crew of nineteen men, Ameri
cans, English and Spanaids, neither of
whom would acknowledge themselves in
command. A portion of this crew were
trau-hipped to the Dolphin, who look them
to Key \\ - st, whence they will be sent lo
this port by sleamer.
Lieut. Bradford, with Lieut. Carpenter,
-ix murines and ten seamen, constitute the
prize cn w in charge of the Echo, and are
now at quarantine in our harbor. The
cargo, generally speaking furnishes good
specimens of negroes.
Our thank- are tendered to Lieut. Maffit
anil Lieut. Bradford for their kind courte
sies. So fir as Lieut. Maffit is concerned,
who has her-tofore hrillian ly identified
himself with this port, his many friends
wi 1 deem this exploit at sea as entirely re
seting the opinion which the Naval Board
1 l ined of him, that as an officer of the
Coast Survey he was unfit for duty at sea.
The event has caused as much excite
ment in our community as the success of
the Cable, and speculation, as to the result
of the capture, tho fate of the cargo, and
the general hearing of the affair, is great.
MucbYuriosity is also excited, and many
are anxious for an opportunity to observe
the African in his native state. It is fortu
nate for the comfort of the officers in charge
that the rigidity of llie quarantine laws will
spare them much importunity and annoy
ance.— Charleston Mercury.
Reviere on the Carpet Again.
A recent lei tor of the illustrious ‘Zouave,
Riviere, to the New York Express, denying
that iic wore armour in his duel with Capt.
Maury, of Mobile, is the most superb piece
oi insolence that we have ever read. In
ter alia, he speaks of his disclination to re
fer to mailers with which are connected
“the ladies of my [his] future family.”—
Cool, isn’t it? And then he denies that
Maury is entitled lo be called “Captain!”
Think of that ! A thieving adventurer,
cashiered in his own country, raising a
question about the position of a citizen of
a place which the said adventurer dare not
visit. We can imagine how Maury itches
to get hold of him, with a stout cowhide
in his hand. But the chevalier will never
give him the opportunity to score him—
Mobile has seen the last of the gallant
Zouave in his top-boots, red cap and monk
ey coat, lie is lost lo our “commercial
emporium” forever.
En passant, when Riviere was in Sav
annah, it was expected (hat he would pur
sue Mr. Blount through Columbus and
Montgomery to Mobile; at least people
that did not know the vaporing scamp,
thought he might do so. S.i—as we have
heard—the young men of Columbus got
ready for the bullet-proof scamp, by plac
ing a keg of tar aud a bag of feathers, at the
Muscogee Rail Road Depot: but alas! the
Savannah train brought no Riviere? The
Captain preferred to return ‘o the “Napoleon
Hotel.” He had better rema n ibere, for if
he ever defiles the soil of Columbus, Mont
gomery or Mobile, lie will he lynched as
certainly as lie is a low impostor and thief.
It will be well for him to remain avay—
even should he escape lynching on such a
visit, Maury would flay him with a whip
and probably takeoff both his ears. Btfi—
we arc assured that when Cant. Maury
fights him with the cowskin, he intends to
b pi fectly assured that all is right under
his shirt.— Molgomery Mail.
