WIDNFfcDAY MORNING. MAY 2,
The Montgomery True Blues.
This gallant corps of Volunteers. Cap!. Owen, grot
up very euily on Monday morning. 301 h uit., and were
quite certain that they would cat* h tlie Columbus
compani-s napping, but the Columbus Guards were too
fast for them. To the cheering salute of the B ues, !
at the Girard depot, there was an answering ecfjofrom
the Norfh common, and before the foot of their fore- j
most man had touched Georgia soil, they lelt the cor
dial g-p of tluir f. Itows in arms. After the usual i
Ceremonies, th Blues were escorted through the city |
to their quarters at Camp Montgomery, where fairy
fingers had provided some of the material and spiritual
elements that sustain life. The evening was spent in
social charities. At an eatly hour on Tuesday morn
ing. the City Light Guards. Lieut. |>e Witt, beat up
the quarters of the Montgomery Blues and escorted
them into the city, where thev were joined by the Co
lumbus Guards, first L : eut. Ellis, and forthwith inarch
td to the Ferry House, where an ample breakfast await
ed th< m.
After discussing the rich viands placed b fore th-m.
the Montgomery True Blues and the City Light Guard*
formed in Battalion and spent the morning in a parade
through the principal street# of the city. The Blues
area noble set of fellows and m mceuvered with the
ptecision of veterans. Their dress uniform is a very
gorgeous blue < oat trimmed with scat let, caps of blue
surmounted wth red plumes, and white pantaloons.
They me the admiration of ev. ry bony. Whether re
garded as accomplished soldiers or well mannered gen
tlemen, they are tqually worthy of praise.
Last evening Camp M ntgomery was fill- and with the
beauty of the city, who assembled at the invitation of
the Blues to share their hospitaliti sand witness a dis
ply of fire wotks. We goto pres in the midst of
their festivities, and must therefore rt serve a fuller des
cription of the entertainment to a subsequent bsue. We
do this the more readily as we leave them in fair
hands.
The Blues will leave Columbus this morning, on the
Opt lika traiu. The Columbus Guat ds will follow them
to morrow. The balance of the w**k wdl be spent at
Camp Owen, and vicinity. Joy go and remaiu with
them.
Toombs and Stephens* Prospects.
The Georgia 7 elegraph has the following’ paragraph
as to the present position and future prusptcts of these
genii men : \
“As things stand, it is not 1 koly that the Dark Lan
tt'rn gentlemen will consent to their dictation. Should
Mr. Jenkins be finally “ousttd,” we have reason to be
lieve that Mr. loombs will p iss the summer in Eutop**,
and thus “dodge” the issue altogether, and that Mr.
Stephens, acting on the max m that prudence is the
better part of valor, will quietly retire from the can
vass and leave the 7th Dsiriet to the Know Nothing
candidate We are informed that for the present at
1 ast, he is not a candidate for re-election. From the
1 gha heli re us, we are of the impassion that the
sceptre has passed from his hands. The Know Noth
ings feel strong enough without him, and for a while i
at any rate, he must be content to mk • room f\r that !
noisy vulgarian, ••Sam.” Mr. Toombs, indeed, can go j
oft to Europe in tolerable good humor. He hastsktn !
good caie of himself and with a six years lease of j
office before him, he can enjoy himself at the B iden I
baden tables, without much care for the little rnan left
in the lurch behind him.
j
But as for Mr. S-epln ns, he must summon up all his
philosophy, and try to wear a serene smile, as he raises
Shanghais and plants turnips on his farm near Craw- ‘
fordsvilie. Hu will have a good time for prajer and j
reflection, and after Sam is dead and buried, lie can go i
back to Washington and astonish Campb II <f Ohio
with Ins knowledge of Georgia products and .xperi- i
iinn al farm ng generally. We ftney that we can tell
his position on the Know-Nothing question in a very I
few words. In his heart, he despises them, hut if they
nominate Jenkins he will try to forgive them; and m
ft! y event, so long as they oppose the Georgia Democ
racy, he will not hiss the performance, tio matter how
contemptible it may appear.”
Fire in Montgomery.
VYe learn from Col. J. C Baeaof the Alabama Jour
nal, whom we gladly welcome to our city, that a fie
occurred iu Montgomery, Ain., on the night of the3thh
ult, by whi h the Flour Mills of Winter** Iron Work*,
and the Foundery were destroyed. The lose is estima
ted at about S3O 000.
Bounty Lands will aoou bo Issued.
The Washington Union of the 27th alt. says: “It
is probable that the office will commence the issue of
warrants about the Ist of .June next, as the engraving
of the plates is radidlv progressing. Already has a
copy of the portrait of the Secretary of me Navy been
completed for the 160-acre warrant, that of the S-crt*
tary of the Interior for the 120-acre warrant, and that
of the Secretary of War for the 80 acre warrant.
The portraits of the President and others are still in
the hands of the engraver. The engravings already
executed are greatly admired by all who have seen them,
and are proud evidences of American skill and genius
in tl.ii department of the fine arts.
Journal and Courier.
We negligently omitted to credit the account of
proceedings of the Georgia Baptist Stale Convention to
the Savannah Journal and Coui ier. If we had thong'* t
it a matt* r ol any const-quence, we would have been
more cartful. There was nothing in the article tl at
we covet< and the honor of originating, and this was suf
fioiently indicated by its being a* t up : n solid type
We hope the Journal and Courier >s satisfied.
ItLsie-pieseulut on.
We big to state to the Enquirer . that if it will show
that we have misrepresented its positiou in my nspect,
it will give us pleasure to make the necessary cor
rection. $Ve have no time to waste upon the cot.strut*
lion p’aced upon our language by coiemporarits. Our
la -gnage waa as follows :
“We have reason to believe that his (Toombs’) pot.
tioa in r*ferem*e to the Know Nothing*, has be*n gross
ly misrepresented by the Chronicle jr Sentinel, aid
that the Columbus Enquirer has thereby betq put on
a wrong c*nt.” Tins is still our opinion.
Peroourtl.
The Georgia Courier has seen proper to make os the
subject of a special notice. The tone of the article was
such that we did not feel anthonz dto notice it, We
were surprised to find it copied in the Enquirer. De

The Troub'e in Kansas.
* We puhl *h to-day, full particulars of the Pai ksville
riot, and of the anti Reeder meeting in Kansas. This
is but the beginning of the end. If the abolition league
; peisists in its insane attempt to oveirun Kansas with
’ its myrmidons, we would hot be surprised that we should
| have bloody woik on the Missouri border before the
! dog days are over. The people of Kmsas who emi- ,
grated from Missouri and Arkansas have become dread
fully excited at this attempt of the abolitionists to con
trol the domestic policy of their future home l * by sh>p
mens# of north rn paupers among them. We think
they have cause for excitement. The territories of the
United States are common property and op- n to the
citizens of every section. But the people of the terri
tory are unquestionably entitled to regulate their do
nnstie institutions for themselves. This right, the abo
luioiiists are moving heaven and ea th to deprive the
citizens of Kansas of, by interfering with the natural
current of ein gration.
The excitement growing oat of this state of things is
the more to be deplored as it will spread to all parts of
the country and prepare the two sections of the coun
try for another Mi-sotin war, which, we feel quite cer
tain, cannot be compromised. The large emigration
from the Southern States makes it almost certain that
Kittsaswill apply for admission into the Union as a
slave-in 1 ling State. This event cannot be postponed
longer than two years. The state of the public mind
at the North upon the subject of slavery, renders it
certain that the in j.trity in Congress will refuse to ad
m t Kansas into the Union without a clause in her
constitution prohibiting slavery. What then ? In all
probabil.ty Kansas will srt up as an independent gov
ernment, and throw off her allegiance to the United
States. This will revive the questions involv* din the
long e< nt< at between the Federal and States Rights
parties as to the power of the Federal Government to
coerce a Slate. The North will take the side of force,
and the South will muster under the independent flag
of Kirisas, and the question of slavery will be decided
by an appeal to arms. This lamentable result is almost
inevitable. The North might prevent it by forbearance,
but who hopes that her fanaticism will listen to reason ?
flic South has no alt-ina.ive. She must side with
Kansas or be forever fallen.
Recruiting in Columbus.
Some f w we k since, Ist Lieutenant Alfred Iverson,
Jr , Company C. Ist R giment of Cavalry, opened a
recruiting station in this city, and has already eni sled
some 30 abl- bode and men. He has received orders to
join his Regiment at Jtft’ rson barraeks, Missouri, and
those persons who desire to enter the army w mid do
wtil to apply to him at once. A piivate in the Cv. 1

and receives sl2 a month.
We cannot imagine any position better caloula'ed to

The British give up Sevastopol.
The last mail* from the Crimea, bringing aceoonfs of
the fierce engagements of the l?ih, 221, 23 J and 2oih,
have destroyed all confidence in the final fall of Sevas
topol in quarters where it had hitherto been ten iciuuely
maintained. It now appears that the Allies have made
and are making no advance on the fortress ; on the con
trary that the enemy is fast advancing on them.
The Russians have actually throwo up two new hil
locks, fonnt-ily possessed by the allies. One of tins
hillocks, which has no v been christened “the Mamelon’’
is in front of the MalakhofTtower. The Russians hsve
erected bitterns there, and pits from which their rifl
men annoy the French woikmen continually. It wa
concerning the possession of these grounds that the
tierce engagements of the 22d sprung up.
Agn n, while the Allies are hard pressed at Sevasto
po). the Russians are solely beeeiging Eupatoria, which
has become a regular fortress. Omar Pasha calls for
nelp which cannot be spared. la the mean time, the
enemy impend with an overwhelming force upon the
p'rci. The death of Nicholas has but fanned their ar
dor. They fight now in full belief that it is a **h<ly
war,” and that all will rtjoin their Emperor “in heaven,”
who fall in battle.

The liquor seizure caserunder the Maine Law against

in our Cos mty Court. The case was ably argued outlie

not able to agree—being four in favor of confiscation to

at stake—some two or thr-e thousand dollars worth —as

The Authoress of “Jane Eyre.”
We have already announced the death of Mrs Nigol,
i’oiminy Ai:ss Brunt', the world wide known author-h>
us “Jane Eyre.” From die Lmdon News’ account of
iliis rtmukable lady, we make the following extract :
‘‘The account of the school in ‘Jane Eyre’ is only too
.rue. The ‘lFleh’ of that tale is—not prec sely the eld -
st sisUr who died there, but more like lier than any o ti
er real person. She is that eister, ‘with a drffefetn e.’—
Another sister died tit home soon alter leaving the school,
nrd iu eons* quence of its hardships ; ai.d ’Curia r Bell’
(charlotte Brouti) was never free while there ( or a year
tnd a h-lli) from the gnawing sensation or o’ohstqut nt iee
bieness of downright hunger ; and she never grew an
inch from that time.
“She was the sin tile t of women ; and it was that
sellout winch suited her growth. As she tells us in
••jane Eyre,’ the visitation of an epidemic caused a total
change and radical reform in the establishment, which
was even rent ived to an >ther site. But the reform came
to lne to reverse the destiny of the doomed thin ly of the
Brouiis. Tiuse wood rlui girls were the daughters of
i clergyman, who, now very aged and infirm, survives
his wife ami ail his many children. The name Bronii
(an abbreviation of Brouterre) is Irish, and very ancient,

children.
“When the reading world began to have an interest
in their existence, th-re were three sisters and a brother
living with their lather at Haworth, near Keighley in
YWnahite. The girls hid been out as governesses

V ilieite. ‘i hey t> jo eed to meet again at home—Char
iotte, E oily, and ,mn, [‘Curler,’ ‘Ellis,’and ‘Acfon.’J In
her obituary notice of her two sisters, ‘Currer* reveals
something us their process of authorship, and their expe
rience and success.
“How terrible some of their experience of life was, in
he midst of the domestic freedom and indulgence afford
ed them by their studious father, may be seen by the
uariui representations of masculine nature and character
found in the novels and tales of Emily and Ann. Th y
considered it their c;u y, they told us, to present life as
they knew it ; they gave us ’Wuthering lie gilts’ and
‘Tlie Tenant of Wild fell Hall.” r ueh an experience as
this iud.cate* is really perplexing to English people in gen
eral ; and all that we have to uo with it is to bear it in
mind when diep.*el to pass eriiiei.-m on the coarseness
which, to a certain degree, pervades the works of all the
sisters, and the r< pis.velars which m kes the tabs by
Emily and Ann re.ly horrible to people who have not
iron nerves.
” ‘Jane Eyre’ was naturally supposed to be Charlotte
herseh ; but she always den it and it calmly, ehecrfaily, and
with the obvious sincerity which characterized all she
said. She decbm and that there was n<> more ground for
the assertion than this : she once told her sisters that they
were wrong—even mordly wrong—iu making their he
roine interesting on oilier terms. Her answer w r as, ‘1
will prove to you that you are wrong. I will slum’ you a
heroine as small and as [lain ns myself, who shall be as
interesting as any of jours.” Hence, ‘J*ne E>fe,’ said
she, in telling tlie anecdote; ‘hut she is not n yseltauy fur
ther than that ’ As the work went ou the interest det p
ened to the writer. When sue came to ‘lhornfield, she
could not stop. Being short-sighted to excess, she wrote
in lilt e square paper books, held close to her eyes, and
(the rir&t copy) iu pencil. Ou she went, writing iiicosaiit
ly for three weeks; by whii h time she carried her heroine
away from i’hornHeld, and was herself in a fever, wh eh
compelled hr to pause. ‘lhe rest was wr.tten with less
vehemence, and with more anxious care—the world adds,
