Court* of the Middle Circuit.
j, the recent session of our Legislature, cer
13nges were made by the General Assembly,
f times of bolding the Superior Courts of this
-ait, and since its adjournment much uncertain
ly prevailed upon the subject. This grew out
• fact that two Circuit Court bills, passed at
rent dates, contained amendments appointing
ferent times for holding the Courts of the Mid
t District, one known as the Pataula Circuit act,
’ the other as the Carroll county bill.
We are now authorised to state, for the infortna
■ti of the members of the Bar and the public,
the amendments to the Carrol county act were
jotlv ascertained to be unconstitutional, and
.ii a petition for m/indamus from Burke, were so
. hired by Judge Holt, who granted a pcrempto
rnt, requiring the Clerk of the Superior Court
that county to attach process, as usual, returnu
to the third Monday in May.
it seems that the framers of the amendments
...’.ted to amend the title of the bill, and since that
...ted to Carrol county only, under an express
n vision of the Constitution, the sections refer
. _. to this Circuit became inoperative.

mentioned act, as is necessary to enable the

Augusta, Ga., April 26, 1850.
Mr. Elitor: I see in the morning’s paper an ar
ticle signed “ Citizen.” in which a few sugges
tions are made to the City Council, which I must
confess has not a little surprised me, to wit: That
the rows of trees below the Market be continued
through Broad street. This is no new suggestion,
the thing has been proposed time and again bv a
few impracticable sort of people, who would 'in
troduce iuto our main street a promenade ground,
forgetting that a man’s place of business should
be as uncomfortable as it can well be. The thing is
ridiculous. If people want a place to stroll, after
the labors of the day are over, let them go to City
Hall Park—if they do live half a mile off. Broad
> is already too narrow for business purposes.
And who would like to see grass growing over the
site of that good old ash bank of ours that has
fur years yielded to every man, woman and child
in our community such large dividends. If we
had two rows of trees, the balance of the street
might be watered. This would never do—make
the town damp and unhealthy. And how could
we breathe without the dust to which we have so
long been accustomed. Augusta would no longer
be noted in this particular.
No, Mr. Editor, Citizen is an old fogy— behind
the age. 1 suspect he is a countryman. Man
made the town. Trees are in their right place
when found in the woods. Let them stay there.
They don't look city like at all. Would you have
this flourishing town of ours assume the air and
garb of a villaget I hope not. If you want a
model of a business street for our climate, pile up
old boxes, grind-stones, molasses hogsheads, good
old fat bacon, get up a shower of dust and a sw arm
of flies, and then you’ll have a street what is a street,
Where business men delight to dwell,
Toil and sweat, buy and sell.
When these trees are ripe in the bud, I may say
a word about the ditches. City.

ness men, and his numerous friends are bereft of

THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS —FIRST SESSION.
Washington, April 28.—. Senate. —Mr. Mallory
communicated an invitation from the Secretary of
the Navv for the members of the Senate to visit
the steamer Merrimac at Annapolis.
The consideration of the three million arma
ment bill was resumed.
Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, expressed doubts whe
ther Ibis large amount could bo properly expend
ed within tin* present year. He’ thought it would
be better to make only a small appropriation
Mr. Weller argued that the whole sum ought |
to he appropriated forthwith, in order to be used
most advantageously.
Mr. Hale opposed the bill, thinking that the (
guns to be refitted with percussion locks and May- ]
nard primers would not be at all comparable with .
breech-load mg rifles. He was of the opinion that j
they would not be serviceable in wet weather. He (
also condemned such a large expenditure in a j
time of peace, and advocated economy. He
thought the administration should not be held re- j
sponsible for large appropriations Congress had ,
made them sometimes in opposition to the recoin- ,
inendalion of the Executive.
Mr. Hale replied that ts the Democratic party ,
bad not controlled Congress pretty generally, and j
the Senate, in particular, for a good many years ]
past, they were not to be held responsible.
These large expenditures of seventy or eighty
millions of dollars annually ought to arrest the
attention of the people, for they bad been made
at a time when the people had been suffering j
from bard times from one end of the country to
the other. ,
The further consideration of the bill was here
postponed until to-morrow.
Tiie question of the Danish sound dues was then
considered, and (
Mr. Mason moved to make it the special order
for twelve o’clock to-morrow.
Mr. Stuart moved to postpone it until Monday
next, for he wanted the river and harbor bills dis
posed of.
Mr. Mason urged the importance of disposing of
the question of the naval board.
Before’the question was taken, the hour of one
o’clock arrived, and the special order was taken
up.
Mr. Crittenden obtained leave of Mr. Houston
(who had the floor on the naval board subject, to
make an explanation. He proceeded to show that
Capt. Stribling bad claimed the honor of captur
ing an Algerine piratic il vessel in 1322, which ex
ploit was in reality performed by Lieut. Watson.
Upon the correction of the matter being! brought
to the notice of Capt. S., he had acknowledged
that he had mistaken the name of the vessel, hav
ing been engaged in a similar capture during the
same summer.
Mr. Jones, of Tenn., took the opportunity to vin
dicate the character of Lieut. Bartlett, which had
been assailed on a former day by Mr. Slidell.
Mr. Houston spoke at great length in reply to
the speeches of Mr. Clavton and others, taking
occasion to refer to the character of Capt. Dupont
and other naval officers in terms other than com
plimentary.
Before Mr. Houston concluded, the Senate ad
journed.
House. —Mr. Thurston moved a reconsideration
of the vote bv which was adopted the Senate’s
amendment to the deficiency bill, preventing the
former law from being construed so as to allow
the public printer 20 per cent, extra compensation.
Mr. Haven said unless this amendment was ad
hered to, from twenty to one hundred thousand
dollars would be annually taken from the treasury
for the benefit of the printer. The other day a
prominent member of the Republican party (Mr.
Stanton) declared that he would arraign this ad
ministration before the people for extravagance,
yet ho and his friends, and gentlemen of the Dem
ocratic side, were found voting together against
this salutary amendment. He wanted this draft
on the treasury cut off before his party shall come
into power. .
Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, defended the votes of the
Democrats, saving that Mr. Haven sought to create
a false impression in the public mind that the Dem
ocrats are in favor of such extra allowance, when
he had not an iota of ground to stand upon. He
could assure Mr. Haven that the responsibility of
large expenditures would not fall on the American
party shortly.
Mr. Clingman thought the printer had the same
right as others to twenty per cent, extra —and that
was none at all. He then proceeded to advocate a
reduction of the Tariff', in order that only so much
revenue as is necessary for an economical adminis
tration of the Government be raised.
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, said that the record
shows that thirty-eight men, known as Republi
cans, voted with Mr, Haven For the Senate’s
amendment, while only twenty-four of that party
voted against it.
Mr. (biddings said it was cheering to lus heart
to find friendship displayed by the Democrats and
others for the Republican party.
Mr. Clingman replied that he had no friendship
! f or that party, but would rather have the devil as
: ail ally in a good cause (of economy) than none.
: Mrs Giddings—Old friends should never be sepa
rated. I Renewed merriment.]
Mr. H. Marshall made a few remarks in reply to
Mr. Cobb, and concluded by moving to lay the
motion of Mr. Thurston on the table; which ques
i tion prevailed—yeas 79 ; nays H 2,
The Indian appropriation bill was taken up in

Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, made a speech in vindica
tion of the views entertained by the Republican

From the Edgefield Informer.
Mr. Iloyce’s Views in relation to a War
with England.
In Committee of the whole House, on the state
of the Union, Mr. Boyce on the inst., delivered
a most eloquent and powerful speech on the Defi
ciency Bill, from which we extract the following
paragraphs on the War question :
There are only three courses for us to take:
Arbitration. Further negotiation. War.
To consider them in the reverse order in which I
have stated them, I begin with war, and L must
franklv say that I am utterly opposed to a war
with England on this question, and for various
reasons.
In the first place, I do not think the importance
of the subject in dispute justifies so extreme a
remedy, I should shudder, in such a cause, to in
volve humanity in such infinite disasters as would
follow in the train of war. It will not do to light
the torch of Alecto, and unchain the Furies on
secondary questions. A war with England, if
most successful, would be most disastrous. We
should begin about Roaton, but the contest would
be elsewhere. In sixty days after the declaration
of war, our armies would be marching upon Cana
da, and, by the conquest of that country, the Re
public, already too large, would become impossi
ble, umvicldly, tottering to its fall with too enor
mous strength.
War is contrary to the genius of our institutions. !
A Republic of confederated States is made for '
peace—for defensive war, perchance, but not for '
offensive war. The central Government would be !
magnified beyond its just proportions—it would
tower a huge monster above the States, shrunk j
into Lilliputian proportions. I am opposed to the
unnatural growth of a vast cen*ral power, absorb- j
ing, under the furor of war, all the reserved pow- I
ers of the States, and leaving the barren sceptres ]
of a nominal sovereignty. Upon policy, therefore, i
1 deprecate war, in the interests of the States.
But I rise to higher ground. War is wrong— ;
it is to be avoided, if possible, consistent, with j
national safety and national honor, justly eonsid I
ered. For over eighteen hundred years we have j
been living under the Christian dispensation. A !
God came amongst us, and taught “peace on !
earth, good will to -d! men.” And is it not nion- !
strous, naw, thot, living u he middle of the nine- 1
•eenth century, surround d bv the officers and in
fluences of a divine revelation never out of the !
hearing of a church bell, our statesmen can devise |
no other remedy for national grievances than the I
sword — that same cruel and bloody sword which j
he Hannibals and Caesars of history wielded, and
which has been rending the bowels of humanity
•hese chiliads of years. Shame, shame upon them! i
The sword has been canonized long enough,
Let us build altars to peace, and worship at that
shrine. Humanity will rejoice, history will ap
plaud, and posterity will thank us. If we must
contest with England for the dominion of the
world, let it not be with the sword. Lot it be with
the plough, the ship and the loom. Let us sur
pass her in the arts of peace. Let us develop our
empire in the wilderness. Let our colonists spread
themselves to the summit of our Cordilleras, in
termingling their human currents there with the
reflux tides from the Pacific. Let ns disport the
silence of those mountain fastnesses with the hum
of human industry. Let knowledge, with her ce
lestial lamp, illuminate every nook of our vast
possession, and let virtue and happiness follow in
ler train. Let the bosom of our mother earth be i
adorned with her exhuberant productions. Let !
the wheels of industry revolve perpetually and j
universally. Let our ships whiten every sea. bet
our roads of iron penetrate the land. Let us idealize
the very continent with our magnetic wires, and
make the earth instinct with thought. Peace has j
her triumphs of more enduring glory than those j
of war. Let ns seek them. Let us be the advanc
ed guard of civilization, passing onward, and vet
onward, “Excelsior” inscribed upon our banners,
and our motto, “ the greatest happiness of the j
greatest number." Then will our triumph over
England be complete, for it will have no draw
backs ; it will not be made up of human misery,
it will not be bewailed by the sighs and tears of j
outraged humanity, nor disfigured with the blood
of “human sacrifices,”
Os all wars, a war with England is most to be
deprecated. The advanced position both coun
tries occupy as the exponents of civilization and
free institutions, would make a war between them j
disastrous in the extreme. It would do more to
retard civilization than anv event which could i
occur; it would put back the clock of time half a
century. Our intimate commercial relations--the j
general spirit of our institutions -our common j
origin -the fraternity of literature, all speak truin
pet-tongued against calling on the sword as the
arbiter between us. And when 1 sav this, Ido it, 1
not because I am in any degree affected with an ;
Anglo-mania, for 1 look upon England as our great I
rival almost our enemy. The oligarchy who gov- !
ern England, like all oligarchies, are selfish in the j
extreme. They would sacrifice and trample upon
all other nationalities to advance the policy of ]
England. The main sources of English suprema
cv are her manufactures and commerce. Hence .
her antagonism to this country. She sees that the
energy of the northern people is impinging upon
her dominion in both these great particulars. Her
fixed purpose is, therefore, to paralyze the pro
gress of the United States in tin so departments.
Hence, we have felt her ill offices, in every part of
the world, at the Sandwich Islands, in Texas,
in Cuba, in St. Domingo, and in Central America, j ;
Hence, above all, her Abolition crusade in behalf :
of her West India slaves. Her purpose is, if pos- |
sible, to break up our Union ; and, to do this, she
stimulates the slavery agitation at the very time
she is holding a hundred millions of white men'
in the worst kind of bondage in India. She has
naturally no antagonism with the South, for her
prosperity, in a very great degree, depends upon
the cottoii of the South. Her antagonism is to the I
North. She uses the slavery question as a means j
to break up the Union. Once this purpose is ac
complished, she would trample upon the North,
and court the South. Such is the policy of Eng.- j
land ; and 1 cannot but look upon her as the worst
enemy of our country.
Vet, even with this impression, I am adverse to
war with her, because we could not mend matters
by going to war, hut make them worse. The poli- ,
cv of the Tinted States is emphatically peace. !
Wars are usually undertaken for the extension of
power. From our peculiar condition, otir mode of
acquiring power is by preserving peace. Our vast
unsettled Territory, our increasing population, are
the gems of our power. We are, within our own
limits, making rich conquests every day ; we are
incessantly, and with a wondrous rapidity, extend
ing our dominion with the march of the sun.
Time is doing everything for us. We have only
to be patient to be great. 1 say nothing about our
intestine dissensions now, though 1 have the most ;
gloomv forebodings on >bis point. 1 pa«« that by,
for 1 am now speaking of our foreign policy. Such
is mv confidence in American progress, that I see j
no use for a collision with England. Time v ill ,
settle all questions in dispute between ns in our
favor. lam willing to wait this decision. Hold- j
ing these views, I will not listen to the idea of u
war with England, if it be possible to avoid it- i
with propriety. 1 think there is no difficulty in so
avoiding it.
We max negotiate indefinitely, and spin the mat- j
ter out as' long as we please ; thus acknowledging !
no adverse right and preserving peace. It may he j
these negotiations mav, in the chapter of arri ]
dents, produce a favoral h result. The chief ditfi- .
eiiity to a satisfactory- ’ .st> :r now arises from I
the presence of Lord i . . i ■ in the Cabinet ;
but he is not imnio- i i - his tenure of office
permanent; lie will so i final the stage.
Then some more practical .Ministry may be in pow
er. lam the more encouraged in this expectation
by the fact, that Mr. Buchanan says, in one of his
dispatches to Mr. Marey, that if Lord Aberdeen
had remained in power the Central American ques
tion would, he thinks, have been settled. There
mav he other Lord Aberdeen* in after a while, and
1 think it well enough to take our chances.
Yet we have a final card to play, in case nego
tiation ultimately fails —that is, arbitration. The
British Government have professed a willingness
to that mode of settlement. 1 see no objection to
that as the last resort. The stronger our confi
dence in the justice of our position, the more wil
ling we should be to leave the decision to an im
partial umpire. In due time, then, if nothing bet
ter presents itself, we can and should arbitrate.
In conclusion, then, bv way of summing up, I
sav no war, if it .can possibly he avoided with pro
priety; settlement by self-adjusting negotiation,
long drawn out, if practicable ; and, as a last re
sort, negotiation negatory, arbitration. I have
thus, as conclusively as possible, expressed my
views on this vexed question, and T now leave it.

New York, April 25.—Hon. James Buchanan
held a levee at the City Hall to-day, which was at
tended by a large assemblage of our most promi
nent merchants, bankers and citizens generally.
Mayor Wood made a brief speech while present
ing the complimentary resolutions of the City
Councils, to which Mr. B. made a felicitous reply.
New Orleans, April 2-I. Parker H. French has
fallen out with General Walker and left San Juan
for Aspinwall. It was reported at the latest ac
counts from San Juan that Walker, at the head of
seven thousand men, was marching against the
Costa Ricans, who were expected to invade Nica
ragua.
Destructive Fire. About 1 o’clock on Thursday
night, a fire broke out in one of the frame house's
on Oglethorpe street, kept by Mr. Knight as a drink
ing and eating establishment. The Haines spread
with great rapidity, and quickly enveloped
the three small wooden buildings between
Temperance Hall, on the North, and the dwelling
house occupied by Thus, DeWolf, on the South.
From these they speedily caught to the roof of
the latter house an extensive brick building
and to a two-story frame house in the rear of the
building next to Temperance Hall, and ail efforts to
save them proved unavailing. Very little was
saved from the frame buildings, but most of the
furniture and other movable articles was removed
from the brick house occupied by Mr. DeWolf.
The window frames and sash of Temperance Hall,
on the South side, were burnt, but the building it
self was saved from destruction or material injury.
Wo suppose that the buildings destroyed, were
worth in all about $5,500.

ME L’S PATENT PLOW STOCK!
F fUid undersigned has invented and patented
2* atuost valuable improvement tu the PLOW
STOCK—thp county rights for which he desires to
sell. He prefers to let others speak its praise, and
therefore introduces the following certificates, from
two planters, well and favorably known in the
community in which they reside. He might in
troduce inane others, but the Plow Stock will
speak for itself whenever examined.
JAMES B. MELL.
Riceboro’, Liberty county, Ga,
This is to certify that t have, with my own hands,
thoroughly tested the newly invented Plow Stock
of James li. Mull, Esq. In point of simplicity “~,a
perfection, 1 have never seen or used it* equal In
it is combined every thing that I could wish in a
Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest
and the best that has ever been offered to the pub
lic. I speak from having used U with my own
hands. I was raised to, follow the plow, and think
that l know fo,v one ought to run. I would cheer
fully tnank any one, who will thoroughly try it, to
point out to me oue single fault in it. It is' easier
upon the horse and the plowman than any that 1
have ever used.
The principle upon which you regulate the depth
of the Plow is so simple, and yet so perfeot, as to
commend itself to any one; and the Stock is adapt
ed to any kind of Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, ju.st
as light as any ep.uhi desire it to be. I would re
commend to any and all, if they wish the best and
cheapest Plow Stock, without hesitation to get Mr.
James B. Mell’s. D. W. Wilson.
Penfield, Ga., April 15, 1856.
In company with several others, I, this day, wit
nessed the trial of Mi. James B. Mell’s Plow Stock,
by Mr U. \V. \Vilsou, and cheerfully state that ali
. present were fully satisfied that it does everything
as stated above.' I would, moreover, state that I
have been using them on iny farm for several
months, and every day serves to confirm me in the
opinion of the superiority of Mr, Mell’s Plow Stock
to all other j now in use Thomas P. Janes.
