(itnus Aiti) %mi\nrt. _ COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1855 Judge* ol the Court of Claims. We learn fr< m the Union of the 7th inst., that Joseph Henry Lumpkin of the Supreme Court of Georgia, and not John 11. Lumpkin, of Cherokee, haa received the appointnient of Commissioner of the Court of Claims The other Commissioners are Isaac Black fold, of fndi anna, and Judge Gilchrist, of New Hampshire. These appointments were made after consultation the with Judges of the Supreme Court of the U. States. Jugde Lumpkin is a Whig; Gilchrist and Blackford ate Democrats. In sharing these honors with his political ) opponents, the President has shown a commtndable liberality, and his course will be approved by all fair and dispassionate men. In organizing a court of this character, care should be taken to lommend it to the confidence of the public, n<>t only by the selection ol able and impartial in n, but by giving <ach stetion of the country and every great patty dens on a represen tative ; otherwise the dtcisioi.s of tire Court w.ll not command the respect of Congress and the Country, and thus fail to accompl s'i the end of its estab’ishinent. As this Court is at present oigan zed, the North, the South and the West, and the W'fiigs and the Demo crais, w,Il all have a voice in its decisions. We know but little about Gilchrist and Blackford ; but presume they are competent men. Judg Lumpkin is a man of decided ability and lofty character. He has a ways been classed as a Whig, but in the fierce conicat of 1850 he was a bold and uncomprom zing ad voeate of Southern Rights It is understood that Judge Lumpkin will accept the appointment. This Will make a vacancy in the Supreme Couit of Georgia, and the duty of fiilmg it will devolve upon Governor Johnson. At the organization of the Supreme Court of G. orgia, it w; s agreed to devide the honors of the C >urt between the two great political parties This p liey has been adhered to up to the pr*sent t me. We should regret to ■ c it d< partt-d from, now, when disappointed m m are stiiving to excite popular pnjudice against the Court. W T e, therefore, sugg* st that a Whig be elevated to the vacant seat of Judge Lumpkin. Mr. .Jenkins would be our choice, but as he is spoken of as the can didate ol the Whig purty for Governor, it might be invidious to tender to him the inferior honor of a judge •hip. .Judge Berrien would honor the position ;so would William Law. of Savannah, Andrew .J. Miller, of Augusta, Iverson L Harris, of M.lledgeville. E. A. Net-bit or B. Hill, of Macon, Hints Ilolt or William D >ugherty, of Columbus. Out of this catalogue of dis tinguished men and able Lawyers, the Governor can select tome man in whose hands the lives an 1 lil© ties of the people would be safe George Law and the Presidency. We have read with some care the reply o.’ Georpe Law to the members of the Pennsylvania Legislator*, but aie unable to make much out of it. There are a great many words and a very few ideas n t'ie manifesto. After diltigent search we collect the folh.wi ig points : Ist. That old party issues are dead, i.ud the men are dead who maintained them; that we are at the close of one revolutionary cycle and at the b< yii niiig of anoth er ; and that the people of this country ar..- preparing for a change and a reorganization if il.e present ele ments of republican Government. 2d. That sectional agitation is the weak po'nt ®f tl e Union, and invites the interfereiue of our enemies abroad. 3d. That our system of indirect taxation is most im perfect and must be so changed as to promote the into rest of the whole country. 4th. Our land system is also defective and roust be changed. sth. Our foreign policy also “demands in an erne nent degree the attention of the highest intellect of the country.” 6ih. That “all religions and all sects of Christiana are alike protected under the seges of the American con stitution, but wlnh the highest clergy’ of any sect attempts to monopolize the political power of their flocks or the pecuniary means of their congregations, it is time for the people of the country to take warning.” Perhaps the initiated may know what the old “mus Jteteer’’ is anting at. We are complexly in the dark as to the qu m-ido by which he will attempt to eft’ et his reform, except that he relies upon the Know Noth ings ‘‘to burst the mmacks with which noble intellects and free minds are bound;' 1 and anticipates that “the new revolution will end in as glorious a triumph as that •et in inotiofc by the 1)> duration of Independence itself.” Our private opinion is that George Law is making a tool of himself. No man whose “attention to politics” has been limit* and “to putting quietly his vote into the ballot box/’ as he says his has been, is fit to preside over the a flairs of this gieat people. Creation anil the Deluge. This celebrated Pai orama is a successful attempt to delineate upon canvas the grandest events in human destiny, commencing with the creation and ending with the deluge. It opens with a rep*eat ntation of Chaos, and is followed by the creation of the separation of land and water, various views of Eden, the txpulsiou from Paradise, the death of Abel, Noah preaching to the Anitdclfivians, the marriage of the sons of God with the daugthers of men, the city of Enoch on the ni.ht prececditig the deluge, the opening of the w indow s of heav* u, the breaking up of the fountains of the great d*ep, various scenes of the flood, the subsidence of the waters, and eonoiudts with a ternpie of the mermaids In many instants the power of the artist’s pencil fails to reach the height of his great and sign ; but, as a whole, it is equal to any Panorama that has ever been exhibited in Columbus. Many of the pictures are sur passingly beautiful, others are awfully sub!.me, and tin temple of the mermaids is a* bright and beautiful as il it were constructed of precious atones. The enjoyment of the entertainment is somewhat marred by the loud and boisterous oration which ac companies it.. The painting explains itself ani need*- no interpreter to point out its bt-auiies, or its moral. But if any is dtemed necessary, we would prefi-r a simple r* citation of the paspagrs of scripture which th* painting ja intended to illustrate, with an occasional line from Miltcn. An ordinary mortal may not hope to excel! the sacred pa{.e in delineation or to add to the music of him who in shadiirt ccvert bid, sung datkling. ‘J his hy tb* way, W e most hesrtily commend this splendid Panora rna to pubHo patronage. It is ah American wotk. Wooden Clock Statistics. —Connecticut is ea'ied the “land ot wot den clocks,” trom the tact that she is more extent vely enpag* and in the manufacture ot o ocke than any oilier Mate in theeountry. She has $1,000,000 invested, employs J,27d workmen,and maLufaautes'94,ooo docks cavil \. ar. Far! of the Ostcnd Conference Papers. The President has communicated to Congress a part j of the Ostend conference papers. The joint letter of Min j isters Bochauan, Mason and Soule to the Secretary of i State has been publish* and. They ad vise the purchase t of Cuba by the United States ; and set forth succinctly j. the reasons why the sale would be beneficial to Spaim j and advantageous to the United S'ates. They very j? considerately forbear t > express any opinion upon \ imbrogl o existing between the t*o governments, or to. point out what course the Government of the United States ought to pursue in the event Spain reluses to. sell the Island, but very clearly indicate that if the- Cubans rebel against Spain and declare their indt-pen dtnee, that no power on earth can prevent the pcopl*- of the United States from taking part in the struggle 5 and that if Spain should attempt to Africanize the Island, the government of the United States will be justified : n wrenching it from the Spanish crown. It further appears from this Ltter that the Oatend conference was called at the instance of the President. Parting Scene in the Senate—Gen. Shields. Tite parting scene in the Senate at the adjournment m Sunday noon, was touching in the extreme, and many an eye was gl .ssed over with emotion in making the farewell. General Shields was the object of espe cia! attention, and his manly hand received the farewell grasp with a warmth that showed sincerity from all his tale associates ; even the pages and clerks claimed their right to a good bye, and the black runner boy to the Senate, I*ft the chamber with tie wat-r freely tunning d.<wn his cheeks, having received a “G*d bless you” from the lips of the gallant soldier and legislator. Pro bably no session ol Congress ever brought its labors to a close where less personal animosity was exhibited, than was to be met with on Sunday, at the m nient of departure. It has truly been a working Congress, and with but few exceptions it haa entitled itself to the approval and applause of the country, which doubtless it will receive. Theatre, Monday Night. Mr. Crisp’s company, accompanied by Mrs. and Mr. Cha: as Howard, will commence a scries of dramatic enteitainnxents in Concert llall, on Monday’ night, 12th inst., to continue indifinitely. Mrs Charles Howard is univet sally spoken of as a “most brilliant commedienne and charming vocalist ;” and lovers of the drama will not fail to give her a warm and generous welcome -to Columbus. To high liistrionical a,.d musical talent, she has added rare per sonal attractions, and the purest moral character. We tender our thanks, in advance, to Mr. Crisp for his mi wearied efforts to elevate the Georgia stage, and to en tertain his putiiie ; and hope his patronge here w r il! *-n able him to redouble his tfforts to bring before the Cos lumbus public, the brightest siars upon the American boards. Miss Eliza Logan. This talented and popular young actreis, passed throngh this city on Sunday afternoon last, on her way to fulfil an engag mens with Mr. Crisp at, Atlanta. We are p.eased to see by the Charleston papers that she has made the 3arne favorable impression in that ci y she ha 6 secured wherever she has made her appearance. The citizens of Atlanta will; do well to .avail themselves of the present visit to that city of Miss Ehza, fi r we can assure thorn that she has lew if any superiors in this country, in the line of characters she has selected, in speaking of her Ben. fit in Charleston, on Saturday evening last, the editor of the Courier remarks—“ Miss El za Logan concluded her engagement on Saturday evening with a ben*, fit of a most gratifying character. The versatility and range of her gifts were displayed in the parts she undertook and rendered to the gr&tifica tion of a numerous aud critical auditory, and in such a manner as to elicit the warmest approbation. We trust that our city will bo graced again, ere the seat-on cSosen, with the presence of this estimable actress, who goes hence, we understand, to fiii a second engagement in the Georgia Theatres, under that popular and success ful manager, \V. 11. Crisp, Esq.

The sailors had been on board but ten ditys, and had reeeivtd a month s advance (S2O) in New York. Sentenced to the Penitentiary ——Myers, the Jew pedlar, of whom we spoke :n our last issue, says the Sumter Republican of the ?th inst., was tried last week upon an indn tment of larceny from a house and found guii'y. .Judge Perkins sentenced him to four years hard labor in the Penitentiary. A man by the name of Thornton was also tried during the list week for larceny, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for three y ears.

After a half hours intermission all three of the racers were brought up again to the stand. Henry again got the start and gained the inner traek, and was closely pushed for the first quarter by Griff Edmondson. It soon became evidtnt however, that Griff was not him self, as he fell back after locking Henry, and was passed by Mary Taylor, who locked Henry at the half mile flag but immediately fell back, but kept close on heels of the horse, passing round the hrst mile in l 55. The aeeond and third miles were made without change of p >eition in 1.54 and 155 At the eloso of the first quarter ot the fourth mils Mary Taylor passed Henry and kept the lead until the last quarter was reached, when Henry made a desperate effort to 1 ad her hy taking the inner track, which was prevent**! by the rider of Mary Taylor reigning his horse close to the inner railing, thereby breaking his gate.
