O. Pie-iyune, May 18. England and Nicaragua. . ( ynd.n. the eminent Senator from Ken- . j. „ r -ported by the telegraph to have said in j that there wiil be war with England ' Hi ten days after the intelligence is received ! ilie recognition at Washington of the Re- i :r of Nicaragua, under its present rulers. We i econfess our doubts whether that discreet and need statesman has uttered anything quite , . rung in expression to indicate his belief that } .j will bring usiuto hostile relations with the A; but it is not to be disputed that an impres —.-rails very widely that we are drifting into . : in, in respect to Central American affairs, ’-re collision with Great Britain is all but in-! ■jble: and some see in the recognition of Ni- ! aiii.i the point at which the breach between the Governments must infallibly be made, are so obtuse as not to be able to under- i how the countenance we have decided to i the new republic, by admitting her claim j .rank among existing States, alters our rela- ' ■i towards any other Government whatever. J ' Sod a State under an organized Government, ; is acquiesced in as completely by the in- i ints as that of the Emperor Napoleon is In j -oplo of France; or that of King Bomba, of j _i, by his subjects ; or that of Pope Pius tin .3, -*s temporal sovereign of Rome, supported French and Austrian baronets. We hare not I • nred whether either of these monarehs—the { ire of force or foreigu help being removed— j kee,) his throne by the free will of his sub ., !!ut tinding them the recognized heads «*r , ! salting nations, we treat them as the rulers <L • li.*? Rivas Government in Nicaragua is a irlr esta.niShed in fact as <-ither of tlies.-. , . •is less opposition to it among those ovei ait rules, than there is in the hearts of largt j ~-s of Frenchmen against the hated Bona- ! ■ and of Italians against the hateful King o ! . and the secular sway of tile Roman Pon | On the contrary, the comparison in all re- ; is as to validity derived from the approval of : _ v mad is in favor of Nicaragua. Few per- ; !i"ve that either France or any portion ol i possesses a Government which would stand j irrcuce were had freely to the choice of tin I ■rued, without force or terror. In Nicaragua i ::,r other hand, there are no signs of popular 1 . ..tent with their rulers. The leading spirits administration may be foreigu, but they are j ■raved foreigners, acceptable to the natives— ' ‘ in the names of popular natives. i 1 ,■ war in which they are engaged is, in fact, « j 1 f the people of Nicaragua in defence of theii ! - right to govern themselves. It is on the pan 1 ii-invaders an attempt to subvert, in an hide- ! .lent State, the Government which the people 1 ' f sustain and rally to defend. It is a war. ! - -fire, in which their are no attributes of jus- > J ■ which are not on the side of the invaded and ■;.'.iHt the invader. If there be any force in the ! *• _ iples bv which all modern governments pro- j -i *. i he guided, that States contented with their ! rramenLs should be protected against the pro qandisin which seeks to overthrow them by ex- 1 ' ■ml dictation and force, it justifies the imtncdi- !

And upon what pretence can she i line it an occasion for war “within ten days," oi | ( i irty time thereafter ? e do not say that she cannot make a case of war. j are not altogether sure that she may not b j sposed to interfere m such a manner as to inakt j -r a probability—nav, even a necessity. It will j j - al any time, deplorable if such a necessity j mid come; but there is nothing in the actio: ■ tils American Government which invites or jus- ! oil. It will not follow as the necessary oi 1 'per consequence of any act of ours. It can j :ly follow from the assertion of pretences winch ! " r e never could at any time admit; from tho en- ( rciag of doctrines which under ail circumstances nd at all hazards we must resist; and to pro tec •• i ghts and interests almost essential to to our na- : , ral existence -certainly indispensable to oui • iperitv and which cannot be resigned or com nisei without dishonor. It will disclose tin ; vs of her whole course of policy and intrigue , Ocntral America, and bring them to the mns •piivocal test that wo could desire to git e us tbi •ttt'ng? ground in the controversy. Nothing j Id more effectually unite our people it j ■ ■ ■ ».. ution of war than the open array < f Eug »sd on the side of Costa Rica in the war, and j ratifying herself with tho avowed causes and i i .lives for war. war is one of invasion, the avowed design I "verthr v the Government of Nicaragua, and j - motive openly proclaimed is that of drivmp i ' rtL American influence and the North Amori- i race out of the Isthmus. If England takes j at ground, with all these incidents and eon- j ' lie- s, and finds the occasion to do so, in the j agreement of this country to respect Niva- i •tgua as a .State —an agreement which binds us t< i :ung more—it will be because she has deter- j '. and, at all events. i throw hors If across out I vhway to the Pacific, and believes that tin 1 :ac has come when she must throw off all dis- I ::ises, and cut us off forever, at all costs, by any ; ■ins and with whatsoever’aHiances and influence j "e can command or subsidize, it will be flagrant, : sgressive war, for which the recognition of Nica- • •2 it will be but a bold pretence, and which, it ‘ - -a.iced b> that, is so thoroughly predetermined, i ■i tt it is mil to be avoided, and must come. Y - this reason, and because we believe the Bri k Government is not ready for any such extrem- ; tv of ambitious encivachment, and do not believe j ’fiat it could count upon the support of its own j rople m such a war, wo do netjshare in the anti ipatiiins of anv hostile demonstraiion from Eng •ad. because tie have recognized Nicaragua. And if we did, it would n >t alter our views of the pro- . priety of the act. 1 is just and politic, aud lie ] consequences niav be left to be met with a clea, conscience, «s they arise. 'fas.

The indications are that the damage by q-e tic is pretty general throughout lower Ea— t ennessee. Me Davis, of Post Oak Springs, in Roane ■nity, writes us : -The wheat crop, as far as I nv seen it, seems destined to destruction by the | iessian fly. I have examined the bunches in j ■ral tields and found from one to forty eggs at- j -»ched to the stalks." j The Marysville Ea*i 7- it -ae. of l.ast week, > ’vys From some of our farming friends we learn -i great fears are entertained that they will not ; ta half crop of wheat, on account of the fly. , •’ '. ~ d quite promising until within a few weeks, ' now some of the farmers are willing to sell I hieir crop for the seed.

At this point is now within about thirty inches of the Ligh water mark known here for several years past, -ad is still swelling at the rate of some six inches s twenty-four hours, which is a pretty heavy swell »'■ ike present stage of th* rirsr Front the Savannah liepuUkan. Ilie Wc have already announced that the late Dr. Warren, of Boston, left particular directions in : his will for the injection of his body with an ar senical solution, for a minute p>M inortem exami nation ; for the preparation of his skeleton, and for its preservation in the cabinet of the Medical College. These somewhat unusual provisions have produced a sensation only less disturbing than the attempt made last summer by a man at Milwaukee to burn the body of bis deceased wife. To compose public sentiment in relation to Dr w arren’s testament, the following article was con tributed to the Boston Transcript. We publish it as an important testimonial of the deceased doc tor’s devotion to the best interests of his i>rofe«- ! sion; “There is a ieeling of respect for the dead hu man body, partly natural, but chiefly the effect ot -ducati.in and association. It is natural to regard the homes of our relatives and friends as some f thing more than masses of inert, insensible, de- I cay lug matter; and therefore, as entitled to special | consideration. This feeling of respect, however, i readily degenerates into superstition; and tht' ' nore readily in proportion to the ignor nee, bar- j barism, and heathenism of a people. The ideas ol j i savage nations in regard to a future state would ‘ -eem to justify the superstitious care they take ot ! ' .c dead, but to expect, and even to advocate theii idoption in a community of Christians, whose re ligion teaches them that the body, when the breath has departed, is nothing to the enfranchised soul— s unworthy of this enlightened age. “ Till within five years, Massachusetts was'the j mly State in the Union in which the study of prac- i deal anatomy, by dissections of the human body, I was legalized. More than twenty years ago Mas- ! saebusetts enacted a law by which the municipal ; mthorities were directed to furnish bodies, undei iroper restrictions, to regularly educated citizens; md its provisions were so judicious that no oppo sition has ever been made to its execution. This measure, so creditable to the State, and so lmpor unt tn the practice of medicine and surgery, was he result principally of the action of the Staff Medical Society, prominent among whose active members was the late Dr. Warren. “ Public sentiment was at fit at strongly opposed o mv such law, and it became necessary to edu •i'c- the people to look with calmness, and after wards with approval, on what ignorant communi ies regard with superstitious fears. Among th* irticles for public reading was one by Dr. Georgi Hayward, of this city, published in the Nortl Vmericaut Review for January, 11 ; re-publisliet • n various forms, this article reached most of tin families of the commonwealth, and was groatlv .nstrumental in effecting the remarkable change iit ,iublic opinion on this subject. “ Dr. Warren was one of the first and stronges idvocates of this law, and exerted all his povverfu influence, botli in public and in private, to remove from the minds of the people their unfounded dis ipproval of dissections. We recollect hearing a tin, in a lecture at the Medical College, fourteei ears ago, lament the lingering unwillingness ii ue community to allow the free practice of pos uortem examinations and dissections ; though th mblic opinion was much changed, it had not ye ittained the proper view of this subject. To d ill in ins power to dispel the remaining piejudice ic stated to ihe medical class that he should leav uis own body for examination and dissection, am us own skeleton for preservation in trie Oolleg. -Museum. ‘ Now, that he is dead, we find that his word vere not merely empty boasting; and, from pri ■ate murmuriags and public exclamations, that hi.- ict and example were vet much needed in this city >f his birth, life and cfeaili. He left his body foi lissection and his -ikeleton for preservation, n from any spirit of foolish ostentation, or of any ireak ol eccentricity, but from a sincere and life i mg wish to advance the interests of humanity b giving this unanswerable proof of his belief in the importance of practical anatomy—without whic! he great improvements of modern surgery eouh never have been made, and without which no pro gress can be hereafter expected. He fought for : great principle all his life, and at his death provei its sin.'critv bv the public gift of his own mortal body. “ It is not to the credit of any .State claiming ti enlightened, to look with horror or disfavor oi bisections, and al the same time to permit heart damages to he obtained in its courts of law froti surgeons who hare been led into error from igno rance of anatomy, which such dissections can atom remove. A knowledge of anatomy is absolutely essential to the rational practice of medieine nni surgery ; it is necessary for the comfort and safetv of every sick person. The physician has not thi particular or sole interest in this question which many suppose ; it is for the benefit of suffering hu inanity that dissections are and must be practiced “Let us, then, regard this act of the late Dr. Warren in its true light, as a proof of his wisdom, humanity and sincerity--let us see in it a prineiph rendered a living reality by a noble sacrifice of pri vate feeling to the public good—let us accept tin grim gift of liis skeleton as a perpetual warning not to relapse into heathenish superstition and un christian selfishui 'S, but to devote our bodies, it used be, as well as our lives, to the physical and moral advancement of the human race.” S. K., Jr. They do wot know what to do with theii ) Nominations. In the present bewilderment, perplexities and despair of the Know Nothings, there is something whimsically amusing. To use the illustration of cotemporary, they are in the same situation as tin nan who won the elephant in a rallle. They d not know tch Hto doicith their Dominations. Tin. New England Councils repudiate the Philadelphia da form, and the Philadelphia nominations, with loathing and contempt. In New Fork tho feeling ni the Lidges is not a whit more encouraging— vhile in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and tie Western Staff's, the anxiety to get rid of the “oh - .hant” upon any terms, is deep, universal am alarming! Throughout the South the poor mi mil is tossed from one State to another with mat veious rapidity. Not even Andrew Jackson, “with die Ltnutl- >:■ annexed, ’ cun secure for him foot >r shelter.

M. Miller, of Pleasant Run, Dallas coun ! k v i is 110 w >n our city, having arrived by the steam jer from Houston, this morning. We have not ; seen Mr. Miller, but tiie account he has given to ; others, of a tornado that took place in Pleasant Run, a week ago, last Tuesday, exceeds any we nave ever heard of in Texas. The tornado blew from the South, and commenced about an hour before sun-set, on the above day. Mr. Miller was himself absent (Votn home. He says every building he had was carried j way, and not a vestige left. IDs partner, whose j name we have not learned, was killed, also his j clerk, and a woman and two children, making five i fives lost on his own premises. There were also j four other persons killed in ihe immediate neigh | oorhood, making niue in all, and some six or fight wounded. Some of his goods were carried to a distance of fifty miles, in Tarrant county, and me of the children was found dead, half a mile listant from the house. This tornado extended ibout sixteen miles North and South, being from Iwo to three hundred yards in width. Over this raet, the tornado swept, carrying away, or pros rating everything in iis course; killing horses, attle, hogs and other animals. Without being ikie to see Mr. Miller, we cannot attempt to state further particulars. The same paper furnishes the following intelli gence ; Mr. R. I’. Williams, farmer to the Toncaliua In lian.% or. their Reservation, was killed in the lat er end of April by a soldier of Col. Johnson’s, tear Fort Belknap. We learn that Amos Adkinsou was tried and •ouvicted at the last term of the District Court at Vaslmigton, tor the murder of Thomas Harrison, a Bellville, Austin county, last December.

Editors: The forwarding business is in- : t easing in importance here every day, and as it is f consequence that the law of carriers, as ex munded by our own courts, should be understood; is our papers frequently contain notices of deci sions at the North and elsewhere, I hope you will nsert this. The opinion of the court will show he points raised and settled. -AW COURT OP APPEALS, JANLARI TERM, CUAELES TOX, 1656. Opinion by Whitmr, J. —The case of Swindler .v. Hilliard and Brooks, 2 Rich. 266 was well con udered, anti fully sustains the jiresent decision. Whilst in this State we recognize the doctrine that 1 carrier may limit, by special contract, his com non law liabilities, then? Is not the slightest dis position further to modify the rules justly applica ble to such transactions. Learned Judges in Eng- i and and America have regretted the recognition | •f such exceptions. The exacting tendencies of •ertitin great carriers of the present day, enjoying facilities that almost exclude competition, admon ish us in the application of these wholesome rules jarefully to guard again l l any abuses. Notwith standing their apparent rigor, there is a salutary idicy in these common law doctrines, and those 1 .vho are called to administer must see to it that they are not wholly evaded. It is only necessary to bear in mind that the character of the carrier is 1 i«;t changed : his liability only to the extent of the j exceptions is diminished. In all things else the I very same principles apply. Cure and dilligence ire still elements of the contract, and “strict , troof" is properly required before any exemption may be claimed. There is nothing iu the contract which/ by implication even, can bo regarded as inak ng it otherwise. This is a sound rule which devolves the an vs on him who best knows what the facts are. In cases if loss, proof of delivery devolves at once on the ! :arrier the anas of exempting himself from liabili- j ■y, and nothing can be more reasonable before lie ■an take shelter under ati exception to require iroof of his care. In the bill of lading before us ‘rust and breakage" are excepted. Words of sin gular import and in one sense might be supposed o cover any injury, unless the purpose was to i make the owner his own insurer. However gross the negligence of the carrier, we are brought back o the same point, that tho exception includes such breakage os care and diligence could not avoid. However, the legal principles of our cases being icarcely challenged, unless in a very general way, ; die grounds of appeal seem to complain that they tave been rather rigorously applied. When it is ■ nsiated that a particular fact being shown, the mus was thereby shifted, this is but another ; form of asserting that a sufficient excuse was proved. We are disposed to rest this part of the case on he view taken of the evidence by the prr-fiding fudge. The motion for a. new trial is refused. Sound Advick.—The Memphis Bulletin, an Old- Line Whig paper, conducted with signal ability, 1 ■ n a recent editorial, speaks in highly complitnen •irv terms of Mr. Fillmore, and expresses the be- j ties that he cannot consistently accept the nomi- 1 ■lation tendered him by the Know Nothing Con vention, and then proceeds : In any event, the duty of Old Line Whigs is tho same. They are not man-worshippers. They are sincere admirers and friends of Mr. Fillmore, bu hey are more devoted to country than they are •ven to him. As one of them, we should most heartily rejoice to see him I’reaident—such as by lie Providence of God lie was once before —a Con servative Whig President. But it is worse than useless for us here in the South to throw away our strength ujion him. if the contest at the North, and itt all the free States, is to be between a ua lioual Conservative Democrat and the nominee of the Black Republicans. The Old Line \Y higs will not be parties, and they ought not to be jiarties, .0 a triangular Presidential scramble, such as that which made Banks, the Abolitionist, Speaker of ue House of Representatives, and which might -esult in the choice, by that same House of Repre sentatives, of an Abolitionist President. | The Brunswick Herald, of the 21st inst., says ! he report of the President of the Brunswick and ! Florida Railroad Company will be printed in n ■ few da vs. Speaking of the action of the Com ' pany in regard to the “Main Trunk,” that paper j remarks: “For weeks past, throughout the length and j breadth cf the State, the inquiry has been, What | will be the action of the Brunswick and Florida ; Railroad Company on the Main Trunk ? That in- , quiry is now answered. J hey have decided to , nave nothing to do wilh it in its present shape. An intimation is given in the President’s Report, that when the Main Trunk locomoti > ■ reaches the line of the Brunswick and I-L>ri<ln railroad it will re eeive a cordial welcome —but not betnij dependent . on the State aid for the prosecution of their enter prize, they decline mixing in a controversy as to the line of the Main Trunk road, but will quietly aud unobtrusively prosecute their own work, de pendent upon their own resources only. “The Company met in calm, deliberate assembly —with a full knowledge of the magnitude of the ; work before them. Knowing the extent of their own means, and the vast importance of the enter- | prise—they entered upon its discussion divested of , passion or prejudice, with earnestness and deter mination, and effected, in a very short space of time the contracts above specified. It is now con ceded by those most bitterly opposed to Bruns- | wick and the Brunswick and Florida railroad, that ; the latter, without peradventure, is to bo prosecu ted regularly to completion, within a reasonable time, aud that the former will increase with the progress of the road.

SEsF The origin of the difficulty which occurred | in the Senate Chamber, referred to in our telegraph column, between Mr. Brooks and Mr. Sumner, was caused by the intemperate denunciation of ; Judge Butler, by Mr. Sumner, in a speech on j Monday last. He compared Judge Douglas and , Judge Butler to Don Quixote and Sancho Panzo, and was pointedly malignant against Judge ! Butler, who was absent from Washington.

IrZif" The Sumter Republican, of May zist, con tains an account of “ a great attraction ” trial, : which come off before the Mayor of Americus, on tiie 15th inst. A grass-widow of that locality had been charged with keeping a house of doubtful . propriety. It was urged by the defendant's coun sel that the act granting jurisdiction to the City Council was unconstitutional, but the Mayor de cided to the contrary. Other legal objections were , urged, but the Mayor over-ruled them all, and pro i ceeded with the trial, when it was found impnssi- ] hie to obtain the testimony of a single witness to ' sustain the charge against the grass-widow, and : the case was dismissed. The inference is, that the I idder” was more potential than the “laws and I ordinances.” l#r The New York lhrald, of 19th inst., says: 1 “The Know Nothings throughout (lie North wherever they have held a State Council, have vir tually declared for a fusion with the Seward aboli tion league, or they have been split into pieces up- I on the rock of uiggerism, where so many other ] | brave political barks have foundered and gone to 1 the bottom. The proceedings of the disjointed j i American Order in Pennsylvania are only the same ; game of disruption and dissolution that was play ed in Massachusetts the other day.” To prevent the sidling as well as the drink ing of alcoholic liquors, on certain occasions, and . to the delivery of spirits to certain persons, and , 1 i to have laws passed to fully cover any possible vio lation or evasion, without violating constitutional rights, have taxed the legal ingenuity of thousands. And the trade and drinking continue. The City Council of Americus have been at work, and here is the result of their labors ; 1 “ From and after this date (May 12, 1856) it shall ; not be lawful for anv retailor of fermented or spirit- i nous liquors in the city of Americus, whether kept i ina Retail shop, Hotel, Confectionary, or Restur uut, to keep open the door, window or windows of their establishments, on the Sabbath day or Sab bath night: it shall, moreover, he unlawful for 1 them to sell, give or furnish any spirituous or in- ; toxicatiug liquors to any person, or permit it to be I j given, sold, or furnished by any person in his, her, in their employ on the Sabbath day or Sabbath ; night. Any person being found guilty of viola ting the above ordinance, shall be lined in a sum j not more than #.20 —or license revoked at the di- j rection of the Mayor.” | There is so much twaddle and moonshine . in the speculations of reporters at Washington, | that we seldom know when we obtain any thing j I reliable. The telegraphic correspondent of the 1 New York Herald, of May IS, says : “ Mr. Dallas writes that he is now in possession ; of an official ..letter from Lord Clarendon to the i British Parliament, in which his lordship gives j the precise construction to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty which is contended for by our government. ■ Mr. 0. says it is more conclusive than anything he has seen written on the subject, Mr. Dallas says, ! also, that things look most unpromising in Lon | don." The above extract is rather inconsistent, but we I give it for what it is worth, and every reader must ! , regard himself a self-appointed appraiser. ■ | Washington, May 10. The Kansas Commission i sent by Governor Robinson a large quantity of ; | testimony taken by them, enclosing it in a sealed 1 , 1 package addressed to the Speaker of the House. ! On Robinson’s detention at Lexington, Missouri, ' : his wife at his request continued her journey, and i she handed the package to the Hon. C. K, Watson, - i one of the Committee on Elections, who to-day de- ; I livered it to the Speaker privately. -The Congres- j I siotuil Comtnissioneia request it to remain with the j 5 ; seal unbroken until their return. This is the tes- j . ! timony which, it is said, the Missourians threat- 1 ened to destroy. j It appears by official documents communicated j to the House to-day, that our government has j taken efficient measures to prevent traffic in Coo lies, considering it replete with immoralities and , revolting and inhuman atrocities, strongly reseut- j bling those of the African slave trade. It is not ! permitted by any treaty, and is therefore illegal, and the Americans in China are warned to desist, otherwise they will not only forfeit the protection : of this government but render the 5 selves liable ! to heavy penalties. Among the papers is a letter from Mr. Cramp- | ton, dated in April last, informing Mr. Marcv of] the systematic manner in which the Hag and ves- | sels of the United States are abused by persons engaged in the African slave trade to Cuba. Mr. 1 Marry replies that he will endeavor to use the in formation for the prosecution*of the Americans therein concerned. New York, May 20. —Cotton was stiffer to-day and 2000 hales found purchasers.

A PHYSICIAN in Southern Georgia, (De . catur county) of extensive practice and expe rience, speaking of “ BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REM EDY,” and from personal experience with its cura tive properties, writes to the proprietor: “ I think the sale of your Remedy in this section of country f will be immense.” It is gratifying to the proprie tor of the “ Dyspeptic Remedy” in this, as in nu merous other instances, to have his statement to the public, regarding his new preparation, so sanc tioned and verified by members of high standing in the profession. He has thus far abstained from the hackneyed path of producing in the columns ol a newspaper the sworn testimonials of the benefit ted by his prescription. Vet it would give him un alloyed pleasure to afford the afflicted, (from Dys pepsia i, the assurances winch he is daily receiving of the prompt, unfailing success which, in even instance, when due regard is paid to the treatment, attends the taking of his medicine. That there is no possibility of failure in producing a speedy and permanent cure of Dyspepsia, ever in eases of long standing, by the “ Dvspeptit Remedy,” is the universal opinion in sections ot the South and West, where it has been extensively tested. Resting upon its growing popularity, the proprietor might content himself with the present and prospective success which augurs so favorably this medicine’s attaining; a reputation and use more extensive than any other preparation that has been submitted to the public in a popular form, hut he desires, knowing from sad experience what the sufferings of the Dyspeptic are, to afford him or her not only temporary relief, hut the assurance and realization of a permanent cure. This “ Rem edy* ” is for sale bv CLARK. WELLS A SPEARS, my 2 1 f3*cl Augusta. VERY family should at once procure a hot t -i tie of the great Arabian remedy for man and 1 beast, called H. G.

Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured | some had cases here, which every other remedy had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con tracted cords in the leg of a bov twelve years old. The leg hud withered away-, and was so contracted | that he had no us, of it. Three doctors had tried i their skill upon it in vain, and he was fast sinkine, | to the grace, when the boy’s fattier was induced t. try 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before the i first bottle was used up, lie came to Mr. B.’s store, and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker. I want all that Liniment you have in the store ; the . one bottle 1 got did my hoy more good than all that i had ever been done before.” That hoy is now well 1 and hearty, and has free use of his legs.

Its action is prompt, and at the same time hartn ! leas, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara- i | tion injurious to the patient.
