Wimts mrir %z\ nftitci COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 17,1855. Kantas Aid society. Messrs. Editors : A good deal of curiosity and in terest seems to be felt as to the operations of the com mittee appointed to collect subscriptions, &c. So far we do not hear that the oommiitee has ever had a meeting. Why so much apathy and delay ? If the committee and. not intend to act, it is their duty to decline the trust and let others be substituted in their stead, who will pay attention to this important matter. lam satisfied that a little energy and activity upon the part of an ef* ficient Executive Committee would secure funds enough in Muscogee county to send at least fifty good and true men to Kansas, and would set an example which would stir up other counties, perhaps other States, in the only movement which in my opinion can secure the admis sion of Kansas into the Union as a s’ave State. The friends of this project in Columbus are anxious to hear from the Executive Committee in some shape. “It ’twere done, ’twere well ’twere done quickly.” One of the Association. O* We refer our renders to the advertisement of out friend Jordan L. Ilowell, which can be found in another column. lie is selling Books, &c., at Auction and pri vate sale, “cheap for oash.’’ Those wishing Christmas and New Year’s gifts for their friends and children would do well to give him a call. They could not only procure beautiful and choice presents, but benefiting and lasting ones. He will soon have one or two Auction sales for the benefit of the ladies, all of whom are most respect fully invited to attend. Notice will be duly given when and where the sales will take place. lie would be happy to wait upon one and all of his old friends and patrons at the Auction Room of Messrs. Harrison & MoGehee. Give him a call. Louisville and Nashville Railroad. —We notice that the City Council of Louisville has submitted a proposition to the voters of that city to subscribe one million dollars to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, in addition to what has already been subscribed by that city. We are advised that the peoplo will no doubt vote affirmatively on the proposition.— Nashville Whig. 0C?” A despatch says—Commodore Paulding, com mander of the home squadron, reached Washington city on Sunday, having been telegraphed by the Secre tary of the Navy to come forthwith. The Commodore, in command of an augmented fleet, will soon be in the Gulf, and will closely watch the English cruisers. The Delegate from Kansas. —The Nashville Union announces the arr ival in that city, with his family, of Gen. J, W. Whitfield, the Delegate elect from the Territory of Kansas. lie receives, says the Union, a warm greeting from his numerous friends in this, his native State. If the General is a fair specimen of the “border ruffians,’’ they are an excellent race. Nicaragua. —The National Intelligencer says that the Government has received despatches from Mr. Wheeler, relative to the detention of the U. S. Charge at Rivas, and the outrages committed at Virgin Bay, and had already ordered Commodore Paulding to pro* ceed to Nicaragua in a ship of war, with special direc tions to inquire into all the circumstances. Trade and Commerce of the United States. —A Washington letter says : The aggregate amount of our domestic exports for the last fiscal year was 246 millions ; of which 54 millions were of gold, silver, bullion and coin. The amount of foreign imports was 261 millions. It appears that nearly two-thirds of our commerce is with Oreat Britain and her dependencies—showing that at present there is no great danger of a war with her. A Southern Anti-Ncbraskaite Defeated. —One of j the most, gratifying items of election intelligence which | has lately reached us is the defeat of Theodore G. : Hunt, one of the few Southern opponents of the Ne- ■ braska Bill in the last Congress. The fact that Mr. j Hunt is a man of reeogniaed ability and courage, to say ! nothing of the violence of his temper, only increased his qualifications for mischief in the last Congress. W T e arc rejoiced to find that his constituents have given him permission to remain at home. Ilia successor is Miles Taylor, a Democrat.— Jour. c$- Cour. President's Message—lnsolence of England —The Washington Star, in the course of remarks on the re cent diplomatic misunderstanding with England, says : “We do not now hesitate to say that it is understood among the foreign ministers here and their friends, i that the annual message will necessarily show that Eng land has been pursuing towards the United States, for months past, a course of insolence and bluster, and of assumption of the right to manage our affairs at home and abroad, which will rouse against her, iu December next, the deep animosity of every American, with re ally an American heart in his breast.” Editorial Change. —We notice in the last number of the Southern Times, published at Montgomery, Ala., that Rev. Dr. Lipscomb, who has so acceptably edited that paper, retires from it to take charge of the Tus kegee Female College, His place will be filled by Rev. Dr. J esse Boring, of Atlanta, well known to many of our readers, and Hon. B. 11. Overby, Prohibition can didate for Governor, at our lust election. Appointed. —Lieut. Winfield Scott Hancock, of the Sixth Infantry, United States Army, has been appointed Assistant Quartermaster in the service, vice Reynolds, dropped. Asia Senators. —Hon. Jacob Thompson will proba bly be the m-w Democratic Senator from Mississippi. Hon. John P. Kennedy is spoken of as likely to be the successor of lion. Thomas G. Pratt as United States Senator from Maryland. Death of an Artist. —The Richmond Whig announ ces the death of Robert M Sully, the distinguished ar tist. Mr. Sully was born in Petersburg, but up to w ithin a short time previous to his demise resided at Richmond. Health of the City. —We believe we may truthfully assert that Montgomery has never been more healthy at this season of the year than it is at present. From all the information we are able to obtain, there has uot been a case of yellow fever here for weeks, and but few caies ot sickness of any kind. —Montgomery Advertiser Gazelle , 15f/t.

On motion of Cone, of Greene, 120 copies of the opin ions of the Supreme Court in the case of the State vs. John T. Boyd, and of the State vs. Jacob Mercer, were ordered to be printed.

On motion of Lawton, of Dougherty, the Dougherty county Railroad bill was taken up and moved to strike out I the words “tax resources” and insert the words “the resour ces of the county of Dougherty, derivable from taxes which was carried. The bill was then put on its passage. Spalding, of Mclntosh, was in favor of the bill. The people of Dougherty exhibited a commendable modesty in asking the privilege of taxing themselves for Railroad purposes when arms were stretched out from every portion of the Slate asking for State aid. It was objected that the bill required only a bare majority of the people of the coun i ty to impose the railroad tax and also that it forced private ! citizens to make investments in a railroad without their ! consent. These objections applied with much more force j to the appropriations of the Stale in the Western and At lantic Railroad. He advised Senators that in objecting to : this bill while they were seeking State aid to great enter prises, theyjwere in danger of straining at a gnat while they were swallowing a camel. More, of Lincoln, saw a very great difference between appropriations for a State Road in which all were interest ed and taxing people iu aid of a private enterprise. The one policy was wise and patriotic ; the other was wrong in principle. Peebles, of Clarke, would support the bill. Public notice has been given by the Grand Jury of the county and by public meetings in the county, that this bill would be brought before the Legislature, and no note of opposition had been heard. It was fair, therefore, to presume that the people of the county were unanimously in favor of the pas sage of the bill. True, he would prefer a larger majority, but under the circumstances he should support the bill.— Some further discussion took place, after which, the House bill as amended, was substituted for the Senate’s bill; the report of the committee was agreed to and the bill was passed ; ayes 56, nays 45. The memorial of Long, of Glynn, in relation to a mail route in Glynn county, was taken up and adopted. AFTERNOON SESSION. The bill organizing the Brunswick Judicial Circuit, was taken up. The special committee reported in favor of the passage of the bill. The bill was amended in some par iieulare and lost by a vote of ayes 44, nays 45.

ZW” The famous Anthony Burns bas been sent by his very dear friends, the abol.tionists, to GoerJia Ohio, “to study for the ministry.’’ * ! No Hope of Peace—A Dark Future Ahead. The well informed Paris correspondent of the Nation al Intelligencer writes home in the most desponding terms of affairs in Europe. The clouds, instead of dissi pating, he thinks, are increasing in blackness ; aod with the continuance of war, a crisis is inevitable, lie sets nothing ahead that cau possibly arrest it except a peace, and of that there is not at this moment the most dfetaut prospeot. The writer adds that we shall witness strange and startling events and changes in Europe before the ensuing summer, which will convulse thrones and shake many of them to their very foundations. A dis tinguished member and a l.ader in the I louse o> ft m* mons was recently in Paris, and in conversation with him he expressed himseli to the following effect : “We cannot carry on this war. It is ruinous to us in every way ; our taxes are increasing and we shall find a difficulty in making new loans. Thus tar the war lias been more destructive of life and more wasteful in money than any preceding one in the history ot hiaDce and England. In the Moscow campaign, France, Italy, Hol land, Germany, Spain, in fact all Europe, constituted the French army of invasion. Probably not over one*third of that army was composed of Frenchmen ; but now the force is exclusively French and English, and they have already lost two hundred and fifty to three hundred thou sand men hors du combat —the former number may probably be counted as dead—and the expenditure of the two countries full two hundred millionss oi pounds sterling since the commencement ol hostilities. And what have we gained by this dreadful expenditure of blood and treasure except one of the suburbs of Sevas topol ? And we are no nearer to peace than when the war began. It is ridiculous for us to suppose we can fore? Russia to a peace ; for even if we conquer the whole of the Crimea it will require one hundred and fifty thou sand men to guard it, and if such a thing were possible as the capture of St. Petersburg and Moscow, even such results would not bring peace.”f The same writer adds that troops, ho ses, material stores, and supplies of every kind continue to go forward to the Crimea from Marseilles and Toulon,on a great and truly Napoleonic scale. Every body is on the qui vive for stirring news from thence, in the shape ot a terrible field fight, which it is thought the Allies aro de* termined shall come off. COMMERCIAL.
