Knowing the aattarial of which the new party moat of nauaaaltj he composed, we 'have, from the tin it first began to loom above the politi- eal horizon,{regarded it aa an impoeaibilitj that aooh an organization could acquire a position of power and control in northern politics without embodying within itself enough of the leaven of abolitionism to leaven the whole lump. This we expected at the North. But it seems that not satis fied with the ample field afforded in the Free States for the operations of this new cohort of sectionalism, it is also invading the arena of Southern politics for purposes of anti- slavery conquest. The gubernatorial con- teat now progressing in Virginia is bring ing out in colors too vivid for any to mis take the true character of Know Noth- ingiam in the Old Dominion. The nominee of the secret order for Lieu tenant Governor, Mv. J. M. H. Beale, is one of the very few. men from the South, who, while representing a Southern constituency on the floors of Congress, voted for the abolition of slavery by act of Congress in the District of Columbia. But we are not without evidence from the lips of leading men among the Know Nothings themselves to establish the ablition character of the order. No less a man than John P. Hale, ex-Senator from New Hampshire, when in terrogated os to the object of the Know Nothing organization, of which he is a lead ing .member, did not hesitate to reply:— “ We mean to ABOLITIONIZE the South, and we intend to do it!” Hero then is the programme of the new party with which so many even in Georgia seem to have sudden ly become so much enamored. How long will Southern men adhere to and support a party, one of the objects of which, as avow ed by its own members at the North, is to abolitionixe the South ? Theatrical.—Mr. W. H. Crisp’s thoatri- oal company, with Miss Eliza Logan as the bright particular star have just closed a very successful series of performances in Mont gomery. Hayden’s Hall.—Our amusement-loving citizens will remember that Mr. Collins, the celebrated Irish comedian, gives an enter tainment to-night at Hayden’s Hall. Those who love to indulge in a little “ mirth that wrinkled care derides,” will not soon find a better opportunity to gratify such an incli nation than will be afforded to-night.

Dust, dust. None on Broadway pavement which is cleaner than under the reginue of Genic, but plenty in dry goods stoves, warred on by sleek-haired clerks with brushes, plenty on the blurred window panes, plenty in the oft-washed throats of topers. The increase of daily “smiles,” since the dust epoch would furnish an intereating item of statistics for a Temperance Almanac, and show that ebriety ia closely allied to low winds and total abttinenceof clean streets. But the poets promise as April showers and May flowers, and we live in hope. Even while we are writing the soft pattering of a gentle rain and the shining of wet umbrellas shows that unwary pedestrians hare been deluded by the treacherous skies, which but an hour ago were olad in smiles and in an boor more will smile again.

Serious damage has been done to fences, and in som6 instances, houses have been destroy ed. Two attempts have been made by in cendiaries to fire the town of Americus. Hon. W. T. Colquitt.—We are sincere ly glad to hear that this distinguished son of Georgia, who was so seriously ill a few weeks ago as to leave but little hopes of re covery, has so far recovered as to be able to pay a visit to Montvale Springs, East Ten nessee. Patent Corn Mill.—Wo would invite the attention of readers generally, and our farming friends iu particular, to the adver tisement of “Scott's Patent Little Giant Com and Cob Mill,” a specimen of which may be seeu at the store of Messrs. Gilbert ft Clark, on Peach Tree Street. This new invention has been highly recommended by those who have tested its qualities and we would advise persons in want of anything of the kind to give it an examination. Col. Tift.—This gentleman, having been mentioned in connection with the office of Govenor in the Thomasville Watchman, he has writton a noto to the editor of that paper in which he declines “the use of (his) name, in any event, as a candidate for Governor.” He is warmly in favor of tho re-election of Governor Johnson. Story of a Brave Mast. The telegraph briefly announces this mor ning the suicide at Jackson. Miss, of Col. Alexander K. MeClung. Our manuscript despatch read, “Col. MeClung, the Duellist, but he was otherwise distinguished, in a very eventful life in tho Southwest than for his prowess under the bloody “Code of Hon or,” and deserves, in death, to be remem bered, as well for the good which he did, as for the evil which the telegraphic record would cause to live after him. He was a brave man for his country iu war, os well as a desperate one in defence of his own perhaps too sensitive honor, in peace. He was prompt, gallant and distinguished in the Volunteer Service in Mexico, in 1847, under General Taylor. He was the first to scale the Black Fort at Monterey, and for his intrepidity in placing the Stars and Stripes on its captured wails, was marked and pierced by the enemy with wounds un der which he suffered the most agonizing S ains for five or six months, and chafed that 0 could not be rid of them to bear his part on the field of Buena Vista, within a few miles of which he was invalided. The grand carnival, which has been appointed by some malevolent conclave in the church social to be annually observed with due honor in our city, ia now rapidly approaching, and already have extensive preparations commenced, leoking for ward to the period when confusion is to 1>« the only law and sour-tempored housewives the gentle deities. House-hunting is the order of the day. All along the thoroughfares, from the earliest hour of the morning that breakfast can be dis patched and the baby cradled to the settling back of the tide of weary life towards the inhabited parts of town, bustling forms in petticoats (for to the softer sex is entrusted the selection of our next year’s domicil) may be seen wildly rushing about with anxious dusty faces and jaded gait. Verily, they seem to like it vaatly—it give* them euoh a deal of importance and ao many privileges. They sweep hurriedly by you at turnings, not deigning to notice the jostling which their haste has caused you, nor to east a look of apology upon helpless babies or apple-women’s stands which are pros trated in their career, wearing a grim smile at some secret of housekeeping discovered in the last house they emerged from, or a frown of defi ance for every curt matron who shall dare to hesi tate in answering all their privileged questions.— Rents, as was predicted, are much lower this spring, and it is to be hoped that the many ruin ous consequences which resulted from thoir ex orbitant highneaa last year will be avoided this.— Houses in many parts of the city can be obtained for nearly half what they cost last spring, and still building is going forward quite as briskly as ever. There is some faint hope now .that we shall be able, eventually, to prido ourselves upon a park in the upper part of the city, of sufficient extent to answer the great purpose of healthful ventilation. This object, most devoutly to be wished for has been defeated many times by the strong money in fluence brought to bear against it, and the effort opposed to the present project, though vigorously withstood, has come near working its ond. Tho Mayor’s veto of the proposition to reduce the area of the intended park is only another instance of his broad and correct views upon all questions which pertain to the physical and moral welfare of the people, and gives much encouragement to those human advocates of health and comfort for the masses who have been obliged to fight so stren uously against the worshippers of the money-king. The arguments made use of by the opponents of the measure are certainly of a most futile charac ter, and, in the face of common sense, such as we really think liberal minded men would be asham ed to pronounce. The policy pursued for decorating onr public grounds with shade treeB by those who have the matter in hand seems sufficiently ridiculous to any one who haB ever planted and watched the growth of a forest treo. Every year thrifty saplings are torn from their rich and genial mountain soil, and after having their tender roots squeezed into a ball and exposed for weeks to the dry air and hot sun, are transported to the unwholesome gravel of the Park, where, trimmed like beam poles, without a single bough left except the lone topmost twig, they linger out a sickly existence of one summer and make place for similar unfortunates the fol lowing Spring. Enough to make a lover of a green and beautiful forest sad in contemplating the fate of hia boyhood’s favorites. Tho Collins steamship Atlantic arrived at her dock 9 o’clock this A. M-, with seven days later news from Europe. The most important items may be stated as follows: The roportod death of Czar Nicholas is confirmed. The new Emperor, Alexander II., has ancceedec peaceably to the Russian throne, and has issued a manifesto stating that ho will adhere to tho policy of his father.— There has been more fighting in the Crimea, and a general belief was prevailing that the Grand Duke Michael was among the wounded and had subsequently died at Sevastopol. The cotton market bn? been exceedingly active. The Permanent Wharf at Pensacola Navy Yard.—The Pensacola Oazetfe of Sat urday last says: “ This granite wharf is being rapidly car ried forward towards completion, and from present appearances we should judge that it will be a structure of granite unsurpassed by any similar wharf in this or any other hemisphere. The immense blocks of gran ite are laid in thirty feet of water, and dow eled together with iron bolts, and then ce mented with concrete, which becomes as m, , , _ ~ ; solid as the stone itself.

The weapon, the rifle; both parties excellent shots, bat Mennifee fell at the second fire. There may have been other altercations in which he was engaged, hut they are not now remembered. These two fatal transactions gave a noto riety to the roan which he was far from being proud of, and the public recollection of which lie endeavored to efface, in his ri per years, by political and military service, first as the head of the Whig press in Miss., in tho Presidential campaign of 1840; then as Marshal of the United States for the Northern District of the State and af terwards as a volunteer to Mexico, the Lieu tenant Col. of his regiment. After t' r war he was the political friend of General L'av- lor, not to the exclusion of Mr. Clay, of whose neighborhood in Kentucky Mc- Clung was a native, but in default of his nomination at Philadelphia. Under his Administration he was appointed to a dip lomatic station as Charge a’ Affairs to Bol ivia, South America, the Capital of which, far in the interior of the countiy, he no doubt had too much difficulty to mid to be impressed by its greatness or captivated by its social or political attractions. He re* turned to the United States after a two years residence near the Bolivian Government, in the year 1851, since when we had heard little of him until the present dreadful an nouncement of death by his own hand.

Election in Kansas.—A dispatch from Lexington, Missouri, dated Marcn 23, con tains the following statements: Thousands of actual residents have gone from Missouri to Kansas. Hundereds from Cooper, Randolph, Howard and Saline, are passing here daily. Weather mild ; river falling fast. The excitement in Kansas, and all along the oounties bordering on that Territory, is intense. It is charged that Governor Reed er communicated to the New England Abo litionist, a month or two ago, the precise time when the election for members of the Legislature was to take place, but kept the same intelligence from tne people of Kansas and of Western Missouri, and they are justly indignant at the trickery. There will be tremendous excitement at the election on the 30th inst.

Since the departure of the Atlantic on the 10th inst. the Liverpool Cotton market has declined from 1-16 to Jd.

Speculators took 3500 bales, and export ers 11,050, bales, leaving 52,500 halos of all descriptions for the trade. The Circular of Messrs. A. Denniston & Co. says that Cotton was dull, owing to the large quantity offering, but the market clos ed firm, with Middling Uplands at 4 15-16d. The stock of Cotton in Liverpool is 635,000 bales, including 415,000 American. After the market closed on Friday, speculators took 4,000.

Political Intelligence. The Vienna Conference was formally opened on the 15th inst.; Prince Gortscha- koff was present. Public opinion as regards the prospect of peace is pretty equally bal anced. The Austrian and Prussian circu lars indicate peace, but Alexander’s address to the Russian army breathes war. The Allies had re-opened their fire on Se bastopol. Napoleon’s journey to the Crimea, is be lieved to be postponed. The English Committee of Enquiry in re gard to the conduct of the war, was still in session. The political crisis in Belgium continued.

' “ Valiant warriors—faithful defenders of tbe Chnrch, the Throne and the Country; It has pleased Almighty God to visit us with a most painful and grievous loss. We have all lost our common father and benefactor. In the midst of his unwearied care, Russia’s prosperity and glory, and Russia’s aims, the Emperor Nicholas Paulovitch, my most blessed father, has departed eternal life.— His last words were: ‘ I thank tbe glorious loyal guard who, in 1825, saved Russia, and le for bills.

Though not entirely suc cessful in that respect it was from no want of will, but because I was unable to devise anything better or do more. “ Alay these ever memorable words remain preserved in your hearts as proof of his sin cere love for you, which I share to the larg est extent, and let them be a pledge for your devotion for me and Russia. Signed, Alexander.” A postscript to the manifesto presents to the Guards the uniform worn by the deceas ed Emperor, and directs them to retain on their accountrements the initial of “ Nicho las.” The manifesto concludes as follows: “ May the sacred memory of Nicholas survive in our ranks as a terror to our foes and the glory of Russia.” The Emperor Nicholas’ Last Words. According to English accounts the Empe ror Nicholas, when last addressing Alexan der, advised him to make peace, even at the loss of Russian influence in the Black Sea —that he (Nicholas) would take the respon sibility, as he had not believed in the possi bility of an Anglo-French alliance, and that Alexander’s constant effort should be to de tach France from England, and unite Rus sia with Austria and Prussia. Nicholas is then said to have added—“ Perhaps liis pride had been excessive, and God had hum bled him therefore.” The above is probably manufactued for tbe English market. The Russian accounts say that Nicholas passed his last hours in receiving the conso lations of religion. All except the family having retired, he asked the Empress to re peat the Lord’s prayer.

The four bases and interpretations given them by the allies, having been set forth, the representative of Russia accepted verbally. One of the representatives was thereupon deputed to draw up a minute or protocal which is to be signed to morrow 7 , (Saturday) the first thing when the ambas sadors meet. This document will constitute the basis for tbe negotiations for peace. Paris Friday Night.—The mission of Gen eral Weddell has completely failed.

The French did storm and capture two Russian redoubts, but finding them not tenable, blow up the redoubts and retired with a loss of 100 kill ed and wounded.

The government has received confidential communication from the Cap tain-General Concha, who says that the con dition of Cuba inspires him with considera ble uneasiness. He recommends that con cessions be made to the colonly, and that a Cuban deputy be sent to the Spanish Cor tes. He begs the government not to eman cipate the slaves, .which he says would be a fatal measure, and would cause Cuba to seek admission into the United States. If Cubans be not pacified by concessions, he says that 20,000 troops could not retain Cuba to Spain.

This sounds startling, but is, nevertheless, vouched for as true. The correspondent of the Daily News in the' Crimea makes the following allusion to the traitorous proceed ings :—“ The last four days,” he says, “have produced so distressing a rumor that, for obvious reasons, I can only hint at the cir cumstances of the subject. It is whispered that an officer, high in command in the French army, has been accused of treason able correspondence with the enemy, that he has been proved to have furnished the Russians with the exact plans of the seige works in progress, thereby enabling them to destroy these works by mines ; that Gen eral Canrobert has caused the said officer to be arrested and tried by court-martial.— While I mention the rumor, I must say that nothing appears to be more improbable than its authenticity. As yet, not a single French officer has volunteered to give infor mation on the subject, and that subject, you mils': be aware, is too delicate for inquiry. We least of all should throw a doubt on the loyalty, or sport with the reputation of any of our allies. If so distressing an occur rence has taken place, it will show in Gen eral Canrobert’s despatches; but for the - present I dismiss the subjet, while recording my utter disbelief of the truth of tho al- ledged facts.” Other correspondents, however, disclose, without reserve, the name of the officer, who, it is said, has so far “ fallen from his high estateand General Forey is charged with being the renegade who has broken through the laws of honor aud compatriot- ism. The Paris correspondent of the Times states that General Forey has been recalled; and the following extract from a letter writ ten by a gentleman of this town, with whom we are acquainted, gives “ the reason why,” if his information may be fully relied upon. How Much tills Country Owes. It is a favorite boast of Americans, that their government is almost the only one in the civilized world, which is not deeply plunged in debt. So far as this boast re lates to the United States, in its federal ca pacity, it is well-founded. But so far as it relates to tbe one and thirty Common wealths, of which tbe nation is composed, it is an absolute absurdity, since the major ity of these are deeply, if not inextricably, iri debt. Wo hear this bit of braggadocio so frequently, that it is worth while to de vote a lew moments to showing its folly. In England, France, Austria and all oth er consolidated nations, there is but ono ex chequer to meet ever} 7 want of government. There is consequently, but one national debt. AVhcn we say that Great Britain owes nearly eight hundred millions of pounds, or four thousand millions of dollars, the whole story is told. But if we should as sert that the entire debt of the U. States was less than sixty millions, we should be apt to mislead the reader. For the federal government, which is what is teachmieally meant by the term United States, having only circumscribed powers, is not, and nev er can be, made liable for the principal share of the expenses of maintaining order and dispensing law among the people at large, most of this burden falling on the separate members of the confederacy.

The Death of the Czar Foretold.—A letter that appeared in the London Times over the signature of Dr. Granville, a phy sician of sqme eminence had attracted notice. Dr. Granville had once been Lord Palmer ston’ smedical attendant, and in 1849 resi ded, in a professional capacity, at St. Peters burg, where he had medical instructions to the Imperial Court. In the month of July. 1853, he addressed a confidental letter to Lord Palmerston, which he (Granville) now reproduces in lhe Times. In that let ter he stated that, having formed a careful prognosis of the state of health of the Empe ror Nicholas, lie had come to the conclusion that he would die suddenly in the 59th year of his age. At an interview with Lord Pal merston, Feb. 23.1854. Palmerston asked Doctor G. if he still adhered to the opinion and prediction. Granville replied that be fore July, 1855, when the Emperor would bs fifty-nine years of age, the event antici pated would happen. Let but a few rever ses overtake him, and his death “like that of all his brothers, will be sudden.” It lias proved so. Alma, Inkerman, Bnlaklva, (says the Dr.) shook the mighty brain.— Eupatoria completed the stroke, and antici pated the prognosis by only a few weeks. We are pleased to learn, tbatO«horne A.

In this we think the College has made a happy choice. tion by fire on the previous day of the Pen itentiary near that city; “Between 3 and 4 o’clock, A. M., yester day, the Penitentiary near this city, was found to be on fire. When discovered the flames had made some progress, and it was impossible to suppress them, so rapid was their progress. All of the work shops in the yard, and the left wing of the main | building were burned, together with the I stock of materials, tools, and manufactured ! articles on hand. i “So 6oon as the fire was discovered, the j doors of the cells were opened, and the con- ' victs turned into the yard; one of them, however, after going out of his own, went into another cell and was smothered to death. IIo was from Memphis, and named Conner. The centre and right wing of the building were not hurt; in the left wing which was burnt, were the dining room and a number of cells. The fire originated in the no: :h- erp end of the eastern L, but how it origi nated is a matter of conjecture altogether; no one when we called there yesterdav, pre tended to be able to account for it. The is olated position of the institution, and tbe scarcity of water made it a superhuman work to stop the flames after they had got a fair start; the firemen were willing enough and made all the efforts of which they were capable, in vain, to be of service. The loss is estimated at $80,900 or $100,000.” Chicago, April 1.

Count Searnoisky is organizing at Scbum- la a second regiment of Turkish Cossacks, in whica Poles will also be enrolled. Austria and Prussia. The Austrian government has notified France and England that the mission of Austrian Archduke Williams to St. Peters burg is an act of sympathy merely. Austria has addressed a circular to the exceeds fifteen millions, in a population of 582,000, bond and free. The debt of Vir ginia, though bu little greater numerically than that of New York,—the one being twenty-six millions and the other twenty- four—is more than twiee as heavy relative ly, the population being less than half, while the general resources of the State are greatly inferior. The entire debt of the na tion, estimating the federal debt as well as that of the States, exceeds two hundred and seventy-five millions of dollars. But this still fails to give an accurate idea of the total indebtedness of our coun try. In Europe, if we except England, most public works are constructed by the govern ment, so that the national debt includes the cost of the principal railroads, canal and turnpikes.

To give an entirely just idea of the sub ject, however, we must remind the reader that a chief part of this debt is attributable to the fact that we are in a new country, three-fourths of those millions having been spent in developing our resources. Considering the vast mineral and agricul tural wealth of America, considering, also, the indomitable energy of our people, con sidering tho favorable position we occupy for conducting the commerce of the world, this debt, enormous as it seems, is compara tively little, or would be, if we were always as prudent and thrifty as we aro enterpris ing.

We do not know when we have been more pleasantly entertained than we were Tuej. day night in witnessing the characteristic drolleries and capital singing of Collins, the celebrated Irish Comedian. Collins is evi- dently a genius in his profession. Whether “ starring it” on the boards of the most fashionable metropolitan theatre, supported in his parts by the best 3tock actors the city affords, or simply “giving concerts” in the little interior towns, single handed and alone, he is the same keen witted, but hu morous, genial and big hearted Irishman. The acting of such men as Collins will al- ways tend to elevate, but never degrade the stage. For whether he represents the court ly blunders of the rollicking, high headed Irish Embassador, or tho broader comicali ties of Teddy the Tiler, he never descends into vulgarities. His handling of the Iriah character is artistic to a degree, and he possesses the talent to ensure success as a trus delineator of the national characteristics of his countrymen, without having to de scend to the commoner field of carricature and burlesque. 4®” Tbe persbns arrested a few days ago, says the Savannah Republican, near Amer icas, and supposed to be the robbers of the State Bank Agency, at Washington, turn out to bo two “ Calafornia Safe Swindlers.” Southern Medical a Surgical Journal —The April No. cf this valuable and wen conducted Medical periodical is promptly on our table, freighted with its usual varie ty of original and well selected matter.- This is a work that should be on the shelf of every physician in the South.
