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. \Ve publish below the title and so much of the mentioned act, as is necessary to enable the : ■ county officers, and all others interested in •. 0 Courts, to note the changes actually made. * riven was omitted in engrossing the bill.

The Homer (Claiborne Parish) Advocate, of the •th tnst., says: The weather here for the last two weeks has been decidedly favorable for farming operations,and our witters have been turning it to advantage. Most ..four farmers have finished planting corn, and many are planting cotton; and although the spring has been a verv backward one, the recent tine weather gives strong hopes that the present will be a good crop vear in this section. The growing ■r f wheat, oats and rye looks very well, and i funises an abundant harvest.

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. Death of Mr. Ridgway. Mr. John I. Ridgway, of the firm of Ridgway, King A Sorsby, died in this city yesterday inor'n mg. The deceased was extensively known and highly esteemed, not only in this community, bui wherever the large business of the lirm of which he was a member extended. By his death our city loses one of its most enterprising and liberal busi ness men, and his numerous friends are bereft of the society of an estimable and useful man. Columbus Hun, April 25. Georgia liaptist Convention. This religious body assembled in the first Bap tist Church, in this city, at 1 1 o’clock, yesterday. The Introductory Sermon was preached to a large congregation by the Rev. Mr. Teague, of LaGrange, after which Thomas Stocks, Esq., of Greene coun ty, President of the last Convention, called the house to order and received the credentials of del egates. Mr. Stocks was then elected President of the Convention, after which they adiourned till 4 o’clock, P. M. AFTERNOON session.

Congressional. 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 committee of the whole on the state of the Lnion, • ! when . . Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, made a speech in vindica tion of the views entertained by the Republican - j party, of which he is a prominent member. He j said that in the ensuing Presidential contest they will inscribe on their banner the words—“ Freedom is national and slavery is sectional; no more slave - territory; no more slave States. Unton for the < sake of liberty, and liberty for the sake of the t Union.” t When he concluded his remarks, the committee rose, and the House adjourned. 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. , Congressional.

The rope broke and the | prisoner fell, and, on reviving, showed signs of ! great agony. On being again suspended, his hands got loose, and lie grasped at the rope round his neck, so that it was with great difficulty that the execution was accomplished. The scene throughout was horrible. Many spectators, in cluding females, were present. Philadelphia, April 23. —Townsend, the mail robber, again escaped from New Castle jail last night. The physician dressed his wounds which he received in his former attempt, last evening, and about 1 o’clock this morning lie was again mis sing front the jail, but his wounds having re-open ed in scaling the wall, he was traced by the marks of blood for a distance of three miles, and finally was found completely exhausted, and was again taken back to prison. 11 aruisbubc, April 23—The Pennsylvania State Senate elected Mr. Brown, Speaker, just before ad journing.

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.

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.
