Rumor of a War with Spain—Conceu- tratiou at Troopa in Florida. Wc arc in the receipt of some intelligence which, wo confess, startled us a little at first, but, upon reflection, we are hopeful that we attached more importance to it than it deserved. It comes from a source which is entitled to every consideration, and we deem it proper to submit it to our readers, as it comes to us. We are assured that a prominent mer chant in Louisville, Ky., an intimate friend of the Secretary of the Treasury, lias advis ed his correspondents of the receipt of let ters from a high source at Washington, as suring him that there will be a war between the United States and Spain within 60 or 90 days: that the Cabinet was divided, but that the war party would prevail, and ad vising him to arrange his business, which is very extensive, as speedily as possible. The gentleman from whom we derive the information also communicated the follow- irietors hey r power to correct the evil, and it is equally due to themselves, and those who pay promptly for their papers, that the rem edy should be applied. Let the then act promptly, and unite in solve, not to send the paper to any man, however responsible, wno does not pay in advance. Such a policy rigidly enforced would result most happily, and contribute more to render the press of the country in dependent in its action than anything that can be done. It is true that it might sub ject us temporarily to the loss of a few sub scribers, possibly a goodly number, but that would be nothing compared with the loss now sustained in the shape of interests, the expense of collecting agents, and last and greatest that large class who do note pay.

This is a motion for leave to-file an information, in the nature of a Quo Warranto against the May or and Aldermen of the city of Atlanta, calling upon them to show by what authority they exercise the functions of those offices. It is a mere preliminary enquiry, the result of which is not conclusive of any of the rights of the parties, nor is it necessary, in this incipient' pro ceeding, definitively to decide any of the legal questions involved in the main issue. [From the Charleston Mercury.] TheKansasHSwL Never, since the world began—among the demon’s in Milton’s “ black abyss,” or the damned in Dant’s Inferno, has there been heard such a howl as is now sent up all over the North, by the dogs of fanaticism, upon their recent-drubbing in Kansas. The abolition journals pour out daily diatribes against the hardy Missourians, who drove away from their doors the horde of negro* stealers that threatened to overwhelm them. Now, really, the whole affair is decidedly " the best joke of the season.” Bent upon The ground? upon which this application is made routing slavery from this fertile region, by « oTtw nvtn oil mnanc vvrvfr. vmlnvwv iVtnt nimli_ any and all means—not willing that civili zation should flow in its natural course, and determine by natural laws its institutions, but hastening to fill up with hireling fanat ics, seize the polls and control the govern ment—the abolitionists find themselves beat en—routed at their own game—their own emissaries made to vote me slavery ticket, .,, . . , while the triumphant Missourians march t of these grounds it is not necessary to | ba(jk ^ lnde J ence with colors flying and the purposes of tins motion. _ ^ bands of mu £ c> re j oieing th at “kanSta is safe 1” No wonder that they now howl and rend their garments, for fanaticism .has for once met its master and crouched. It a sig nal and timely lesson. Had the South m its past contests exhibited bnt half the j courage and promptness of Atchison and I his true men, Abolition would have long since become a harmless thing. It is also a timely lesson to North, yet which will scarcely be heeded in its present fierce and aggressive mood, that there is a point at which the South will rise, and wipe out, deem it wholy unnecessary, am 'll most cheerfully remark in conclusion, that we wil unite in adopting the cash system and en force it most rigidly, if the other journals in the State will pledge themselves to do like wise. We have tried both the cash and the credit systems, and we know well which is the better. “We hope the press of the State will speak out on this subject, and let us know who is in favor and who against adopting the Cash System. If there should be a gen eral concurrence of opinion, a convention may be called and held at short notice, and the proper measures adopted to relieve our- selvesfrom the embarrassments under which we now labor. And the Constitutionalist d> Republic, gives its experience of newspaper publica tion : ‘*We will cordially contribute our mite ing intelligence, derived from an officer of j towards any measures which may result in the United States army, who professed to j establishing a better system than now pre- ' th have been advised with upon the matter to which it relates, and which gives plausibili ty, if not probability to the rumor above re ferred to. He 6ays: “While the difficulties with Spain were most promising of trouble, under the Soule regime, our government quietly concentr&t- vails among most of the newspaper press in our State. We would be most hanpy to see them all in a flourshing financial con dition. We believe much good may be done in that direction by a convention of publish ers for mutual consulation and advice. We are ready and willing to go in to such ed several thousand troops in Florida, con- [ convention. We have had an experience of venient for embarkation, and actually load- nearly tea years in the business, and have ed one or two sailing vessels with heavy guns and ammunition, and had them ready near at hand. The port in Cuba was select ed at which they were to land. “The plan was, with the regulars, to run across to this fort, which could be done in a few hours, surprise and seize it, throw up earth works, with all speed to defend the E osition by land, with a fleet sufficient to eop the port open. Thus situated they were to call for volunteers, and 10 to 15,000 would arrive in a week, self-armed and of the fiercest auality. They were then to move with ail despatch upon the principal points of the Island. Quitman and some others wore in the secret. This was the programme. “buch was the position of affairs when that singular rumor came up that the Cabi- learned something on that subject in that period. We have improved that experience to our own benefit at least, and have now but little to complain of, from the credit system. We have certain rules governing our office, and they are rigidly and inexora bly enforced. No agent is authorised to de viate from them one iota. Ifin any instance any one of these rules is relaxed it is only in case of peculiar personal relations be tween the publisher and his patron. We name four of them: 1st. No new name is extended on our books unless the money accompanies the or der. 2d. No name is retained on our list where more than one year’s subscription is due. 3d.

Only some 12 or of subscribers, and nf hard timiw They are tardy about it. Only 1400 troops are yet assembled at Jefferson Barracks, and it may be that the new regi ments will have another destination yet. “The fire-eaters are doubtless quickened by the proposition to improve the condition of the slave population on the Island. My own opinion is, that the Cabinet is convinc ed that nothing but a republican coup d’etat can save them from the fate of Tylerites.— Pierce is good-natured, and will go over, sure, with a strong south wind.” How much importance deserves to be at tached to this report we cannot say. It is understood by our correspondent that the “high authority in Washington” is Mr. Guthrie. There is no doubt that more than one or two of President Pierce’s advisers desire a war with Spain, and are willing that fee nation should disgrace itself, if necessary, in seeking a pretext for it. But we have supposed that a wiser and more cautious spirit controlled the foreign policy of the government, and that the President had come at last to the conclusion he could never be sustained in the prosecution of. a. war which everybody would see had its origin in no deliberate wrong, but simply in a desire of conquest. The developments made in the Ostend Conference correspondence and fee recent -declarations made in the Spanish Cortes hare satisfied fee of fesAmszioaa subscribers, and of hard times among the publishers. The Picayune, of Wednesday morning, has the following concerning the celebrated Lecompte, believed to bave been drugged: “ We much regret to announce feat this renowned race horse was last night seized with a violent illness, which for a time gave but little hope of his recovery. Up to the latest accounts he had improved, and was considered out of danger.” The Delta, of the same evening, says: “ The mishap that has befallen this noble and fevorite animal is the theme of general regret—more particularly among all who have an interest in the sports of the turf.— If foul play their has been—as foul play, it is believed, there was—curses, not loud, but deep, follow the wretch who perpetrated it.” It will be remembered feat a dispatch was sent to this eity on Thursday, announc- race. Whether it really came off or not we are unable to say. Since the above was in type we !•««« from a dispatch from New Orleans, the 16th inst, that fee race came off, tuff Lexington beat Lecompte. Time, first heat, 7:234. Lecompte was withdrawn after fee fint heat Having duly considered the memorial of Mr: Susan P. Howard, praying to he released from the payment of a tax of one hundred and sixty dollars ($160 00) improperly imposed upon her slave, Daniel, we would recommend that her pray er he granted. We adopt and endorse the recom mendations of our predecessors of last week iu reference to the refunding of taxes illegally im posed. We have made some inquiry in regard to the cause of Education in our county, and are grati fied to learn that, although, in some respect, there exists a deplorable want of syetem in the conduct of many of our private schools, they are generally well patronized and sustained. The “Holland Free School”—the only one of the class in the county—seems to bo well conducted and in a high ly prosperous condition. We greatly appreciate fee liberality that prompted its establishment and endowment, and would earnestly commend the school to the fostering care of the benevolent of the community in which it is located. Our grateful acknowldgements are due, and hereby tendered, to the authorities of the city of Atlanta for the gratuitous use of their magnificent City Hall, for county purposes. Wo would ear nestly recommend to the Justices of the Honorable Inferior Court that they cause so much of this building as may be used for county purposes to be cleansed and put in thorough order immediately after the adjournment of each Superior Court, semi annually, at the expense of the courts. We most cordially approve of the recommenda tion of the Grand Jury of the second week of the present term, touching tho traffic in alcoholic bev erages. Believing as wc do that most of the evils, moral and social, entailed upon the community, spring directly from this source, we would ear nestly recommend to our fellow-citizens—as one of the surest means of checking the further ravages of this monster, and aiding in the amelior ation of the condition of its unfortunate victims— that henoeforward,'in all elections, they make a decided opposition to the Retail Traffic n. pre-req uisite qualification in all persons .seeking office at their hands. We would present as an intolerable grievance-'’ an evil of vast magnitutude—the wordcs of un ruly and vicious boys who infect the streets of the eity of Atlanta, by day and night, (especially on the Sabbath,) to the great annoyance of its citizens. We would earnestly request parents and guardians to restrain their children and wards from associating with such, and recommend to the city authorities the adoption of stringent measures to abate the neuisace We have examined the books of the Clerks of the Superior and Inferior Courts, and those of the Ordinary and Treasurer, and find them each neatly kept.

From a legal gentleman, directly from Emanuel Superior Court, we learn that the greatest distress is prevailing in that county, in conseauence of the scarcity of water. No rains haa fallen worthy of note since the8tb of September last. This distress at the coun ty site had increased in consequence of fee additional numbers in attendance upon fee Court. Judge Holt had been notified by fee landlady of fee principal hotel, feat he would have to adjourn fee Court, or proceed with out anything to eat, as a sufficiency of wa ter to cook food teas not to be had in Swain es- boro or its vicinity. We are also indebted to the polite atten tion of fee same gentleman, for the infor mation, that true bills were found at fee late Court term, of Emanuel, for murder, against thirty-five or forty different persons. Sav. Jour, d) Cour. We observe from yesterday’s Eve ning Journal & Courier, feat Mr. Isaac S. Clark has connected himself wife feat pa per as associate editor, in fee place of Mr. J. B.

That the incumbents were not elected by a majority of legal votes, The first of these decide for In support of the second ground, a number of affidavits are annexed as exhibits to the informa tion, sufficient to show, prima facie, that illegal votes wore polled in number sufficient to change the result of the election. The motion is resisted principally on three grounds. 1. That the election was held in accordance with i the charter, and that, by the terms of the char ter, the record of the election by the Clerk of Council i3 tho highest evidence of the validity of the election. 2. That the Relator is not a competent party to bring the matter before the court. 3. That the filing of the information would bo unavailing, for the reason that tho term for which the incumbents were elected must expire before a final decision can he pronounced. I will dispose of these objections in their order. 1. The question as to whether the election was held according to the provisions of the charter or not is tho very one to bo decided, the negative of which the Relator asks the privilege to establish by proof. But it is contended, in this connection, that tho court is precluded from inquiry into the validity of this election, and the title of the in cumbents to the office they hold, by that clause in the charter which declares that the record of the certificates of election made by the Clerk of the Council, “shall be held and esteemed as the high est evidence of such election. MONDAY, APRIL 23. In Lack. A lady correspondent of the Day Book speaking of Golombtw and its celebrities, says of our friend of fee Times dr'Sentinel: “ One among fee most attractive in -fee gallery is a correct likeness of Col. Lomax, who was an officer in the , Mexican war, at present editor and proprietor of fee Colnm- bris Times db Sentinel. It would be .difficqlt fbr the artist to do more than justice and much less flatter the original. The Colonel possesses a handsome face, expressive of the highest order of intellect, a distingue, and engaging manner. He is a bold and vigor ous writer, without a trace of fee audacity and extravagance which is so much in vogue wife American journalists. In all he shows an appreciative, refined and delicate taste. He is a leading politician in this State, a man of great excellence and worth of char acter, is nighlv esteemed by fee citizens of Columbus, and one of whom the South may be justly proud.” We did our very best to encourage just these ideas of ourselves in the same quarter, but it was a dead failure. A tithe of all this “agony” would have sent us away perfectly happy—pleased wife the world and wife ourselves most of all.

The second objection, which goes to the com petency of the Relator, presents a more formida ble question. It is clear that the Relator must have a sufficient interest to warrant his interference, and that a mere stranger to thecorportion cannot, ingeneral, be per mitted to Clean Information to impeach the title of a corporator, (Cole on Information, p 173—2 B and A 344, [note]) but it is also as clear that if ho is an in habitant of tho city aud subject to the local juris diction of the body corporate, he is competent.— (Cole on Information, 173—174 and 6 Ad. and Ell. 810.) A burgess of a corporation subject to local rates is competent, (/bid.) Authorities on this point might bo multiplied to almost any extent. 3.

It was not Kansas, but anti-slavery that gave impetus to the movement. Ifcwas not to possess its rich lands or mines, for they had lain neglected, though open to them, for 30 years; but to establish a ref uge for runaway slaves, a robber's den upon the borders of a Slave Spite, to insult the South, and draw more closely around her the serpent’s coil. This was the cause of the Kansas excitement at the North. It had its origin in the same spirit of hostility and persecution which had marked the course of the North to the South for years past. It was intended to be another delib erate blow at Slavery and the existence of the South. While such was the aggressive spirit with which the North pressed on to colonize Kansas, what was the attitude and motives of the people of Missouri?

Now, for the sake of argument, let us ad mit these charges, and how stands the case? — What are the facts on both aides?

We have no doubt that men have been found vile enough to speculate upon the remembrance of the affliction which befell Savannah last year. There is not tbe slightest foundation in truth for the assertion that yellow fever had made its appearance in that city, and we are inform ed, upon the best authority, that it is a lie “made out of the whole cloth.” The attention of dealers in breadstuff's is now concentrated on the Northwest, and what amount of grain is now held in North ern Illinois is becoming a matter of great solicitude. The Chicago Free Press of the 11th says in reference to the stock and re ceipts of grain at that point: . Accounts, estimates, and speculations as to actual available quantities of produce to go forward from upper lake ports are almost as diversified as their authors. Receipts at this place since the 31st of March have in creased in a much larger ratio than for the two weeks preceding, which was shown to be, not including flour, about 300,000 bushels. Sin ce that date, one or two large ware houses which were partly filled, are now full, and the large one of Munger & Armour, Gibbs, Griffin & Co., have commenced re ceiving, and for the last few days have been taking in grain at the rate of not less than 20.000 bushels per day. Without being in. possession of the actual returns, it may not be far out of the way to estimate, that after deducting Southern shipments of wheat we have on hand, 1.300.000 bushels of grain. It must be borne in mind feat the Eastern railroads are continually topping our granaries, and hence the faet that the quantity of grain now in the country is found to be below, estimates, based upon the kmown crops of last season. white paper to print upon, feat black paper might be substituted, wife white ink.— White on a black ground is more distinct, and fee eye is then relieved from fee glare of rays from the white surface.

Grave events are expected. The Herald is informed feat a num ber of citizens of N.

Wife this prospect of opposition, it will, probably re quire Mayor Wood’s other thousand police men to enforce it. This will involve an ad ditional tax of half a million. The Mobile Advertiser, of fee 12th inst., says fee river boats have entirely deserted fee wharves, and are swarming up fee ri vers. The river fleet has taken advantage of the rise and now numbers eight boats up fee Alabama and nineteen bound to or from various landings on fee Bigby and Warrior rivers—twenty-seven in all. This is a fact very cheering to fee business community. ded. Carlos Castillo had also been released, and allowed to remain at his residence until fee sailing of the packet for Cadiz.

The Van Buren (Ark.) Intelligencer of fee 30th ult. says that it li&3 been math ematically proven and practically demon strated, that the Arkansas river will no more be fit for navigation. The difficulty lies in fee fact feat the banks have fallen in to such an extent as to widen fee bed of the river immeasurably, requiring a larger volume of water than usually comes down in ordinary rises, to furnish its thirsty bars and to fill up the bed. A railroad will now luve to be depended npon. To the Point.—We have never seen scrip tural quotations more aptly applied, than in fee following dialogue, which took place at fee table of Bishop Doane: It is stated that Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, is strongly opposed to temperance. A short time since, Rev. Mr. Perkins of the same denomination, and a member of the order of “Sons,” dined with fee Bishop, who, pouring out a glass of wine, desired the reverend gentleman to drink wife him, whereupon he replied: “ Can’t do it,Bishop, ‘wine is a mocker.’” “ Take a glass of brady, then,” said the distinguished ecclesiastic. “Can’t do it, Bishop, ‘strong drink is raring.’” By this time the Bishop, becoming some what restive and excited, said to Mr. Per kins: “ You’ll pass the decanter to the gentle man next to you.” » “No, Bishop, 1 can’t do feat, ‘woeunto him that puttefe fee bottle to his neighbor’s hps-’” What was fee peculiar mental condition or moral state of fee Bishop at this stage of the proceeding our informant did not •tote. tho expiration of the term of office. I cannot anticipate that any ground of continuance will necessarily postpone tho cause beyond the term for which it will be regularly set down for trial. I cannot anticipate the commission of snch errors as will render nocessary a writ of error to tho Su preme Court: and, least of all, can I anticipate obstructions interposed merely for delay. The most that can be urged on this ground is, that it is very doubtful, according to tbe common course of proceeduro in courts, whether the final judge ment will precede the expiration of the official term. Is that a sufficient legal reason for refusing this application ? The authorities are conclusive that it is not ’Graham on Jurisdiction 200—4 Coieen o-o v o , -Hug would, in eftect, abolish ncp. 358. Such a ru. ,. ' . ' „ ... ..... ■—» tbs term of of- tms proceeding in all cases whe,^ - . fice is annual, and render inoperative the _ of Anne enacted expressly to meet such cases. Having disposed of the objections, it remains only to enquire whether the facts set forth in the Information are sufficient to require this rule to be made absolute; and for the purposes of this in quiry, I shall consider, as already intimated, only the last ground taken in the Information, to wit: “That the incumbents did not receive a majority Of the legal votes polled at the election.” Upon this ground I find, after a careful examination of all the authorities, English and American, to whioh I have had access, that when even a prima facie case is shown exparte, the rule is to grant the rule absolute, in order that the facts may be ascertained by the finding of a jury. (Cole on Inffn 145—146 * cases there cited—3 T. R. 598 Cowp. 58.) Nor do these authorities sustain the position of the defendants’ counsel, that a conviction of the illegal voters must precede the filing of the Information. The law is plain that even in doubtful cases tbe rule is to be granted although the defendant, in showing cause, should exhibit counter affidavits equal in number to those exhib ited by the relator. (Cole on Inffn 191, 192—3 T. R. 598—11 Aid and Ell 508.) But it has been urged that these applications nre addressed to the sound discretion of the Court.- So they are, but only to its legal discretion. The granting or refusing injunctions—the allowing or refusing continuances of causes and many other things are (aid to be within the discretion of the court; but that discretion is circumscribed by le gal rules and the court has no power to exercise an arbitary discretion In opposition to established principles, Therefore, under all the circumstances, even al though no suspicion is , breathed, either within or dehors the record, of any unfair or improper deal ing on the part of the very honorable gentlemen who exercise these offices, and althongh it is not doubted, so far as I know, that the city govern ment may be as well administered by them as any others, and although the court may be of opinion that those political contests should be decided elsewhere than in the halls of justice; I must ad minister the law as I find it, and am constrained to allow this Information to be filled, leaving the parties unconcluded by any decision affecting their legal rights and reserving tho decision of all legal questions, as to the merits of the final trial. Let the rule he made absolute. O. A. Bull, J. S. C. C. O. Vandirbilt’s Havre Steamers.—The price of passage by fee North Star, which leaves here on fee 20th instant, has been fixed at $110 for tbe first cabin and $60 for fee second cabin, fee same as the rates from Boston. Their position and motives, contrasted wife those of the obolitionists, were those of the assailed toward fee assailant; the victim towards the pursuer. It was fee cause of honor, of home, of property and life, against a remorseless and bloody invader. And who shall say aught agaist them, if, in such a position, they respected not the forms of law, when form and substance had been ever, and were now perverted for their destruction, because they met the bought emissaries of Abolition wife hold and in dignant front, and defeated them in their mission of hatred ? With a free-soil Gov ernor playing into fee hands of their ene mies, and abusing the powers of his office to betray and deliver them up, fairness and law was out of the question.
