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 guetibue non, sq. 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 ry service is furnished with a horse, food and cluthii g, and receives sl2 a month. We cannot imagine any position better caloula'ed to improve a young man of the class that usually c >mpostß the rai k and lie us the army than that of a vodier in these new h vies They will have an opportunity of traveling over the boundless wilds which he betw r ein the Mission i and the R icky M untains. of chasing the j hi ftalo and the Cainanchcs, b side# the chance of gain | tog rn It ary of iry. But the Recruit ougi tt> be sure j that he has a bold heart and iron uc-rvts, as the cavahy service is no eh Id’s plav. Meeting of the Know Nothings. —We understand I 1 Eat the Kn -lits of the Daik Lantern hold a State Conventional M con. on Wednesday, 2-1 of May. Th* as-e n'il tge is expect* and to be a very large one. We may hope shortly to know what are the ol j ets of the order at the Smith. We presume they will not enter a contest for political power in Georgia, w.thout erod ing a platform, and nominating candidates openly. Distinguished Guests. We are pleased to see in the city, Mayor Hansford, Samml Swan, Esq., C**l. Batts,of the Journal , Col Mathews. II N. Crawford, E-q ,of M *ntgornery, and Dr. Cha-leß S Lucas of M"Unt Meigs, and Capt.

Hon. Jam:* Johnson. A correspondent of the Griffin Union suggests the name of our distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. Janies Johnson, as a candidate for the office of Governor in the approacning election. Distressing Casualty. On the afternoon of the 27tb, a boat capsized and i Messrs. Win P. Rowland and D. P. Landershiue were i drowned near Fig Island, in Savannah river. Wm. i Hone, John V. Tarvr and Capt.

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 Kinney Expedition.

The Massachusetts Legislature- The Case of Judge Coring—Tie M iss ichU'Ctts Knott - Nothings Said Out to the Abolitionists.

The unpardonable offence of Jnd *e Loring was his obe dience o the constitution and the Jaws as Commissioner o the United States in the case of Burns, the fugitive slave Judge Lo.iug did h s duty in aiding to re tore this fugitive to his master and no more. The ai-oli ionists trom tha hoar resolved upon making this upright officer a victim ano an txamule, and with the aid ola Legislature almo-tunan imou-ly Know Nothing in both branches, they have in structed their Know Nothing Governor to execute thei. sentence.

Hartford, April 27. The liquor seizure caserunder the Maine Law against David Clark &. Cos , has been on trial for several days pa*t in our Cos mty Court. The case was ably argued outlie p rt of the State by Martin v\ eIK E-q., and on the nart of tae defendants by the Hon. Isaac Toucy. The j jrv came into court this afternoon and reported that they w -re not able to agree—being four in favor of confiscation to eight again-t it. The case was looked upon with a good deal of interest ou account ot the large amount of liquor at stake—some two or thr-e thousand dollars worth —as well as trom the standing of the defendant-, being the largest dealers in the State previous to the passage of the law. ——— Milita'Y—Our friends of ihe viiiitarv are Suv in th<ir arrangements for their encampments this week and next.

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, tile mtl er died many years ago, and several of her 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.

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.
