On Wednesday night last, says the Coving

the platform and the train, which passed on,

he died about ten raiuotes after entering the

The Savannah Republican, of Sunday, says:
On Friday night last, while several young la
dies were proceeding on their way to 8t
John’s Cbnrcb, along Whitaker, and when
near Jones street, a negro ran up behind one
of them, and pulling a shawl on her back,
made his escape with it. This proceeding was
the most audacious that has come to our no
tice for some time. We give notice, however,
that a repetition will prove dangerous.
We learn, says the Augusta Constitution

Examiner, son of Dr. Campbell, of Morgan
countv, end a student of Emory College, hap
pened to a very serious accident, on Tuesday
night lost. Ue had spent the day in Atlanta,
and returned to ibis city by the 8:35 p. ~
tram. When the train started again he
deavored to get on it while in motion, when
hs fell tinder the train and the wheels of one
of the cars passed over his left leg, near the
aukle-joint, crushing it so badly that aaiputa-
tiou became necessary. Tho ends of tbo fin
gers ou his left hand were also mashed off by
the wheels passing over them. Ue is now at
the hotel in this city, attended by his father,
and is doing well.
Speaking of the mrolite which recently
frightened the people of Soothwest Georgia,
the Coiambus Enquirer says: We neglected to
state, in our notice of this cariosity, that it
fell about 11 o’clock in the day time, on tho
6th of October. Tho rerolitc burst, with an
explosion that wus heard for thirty miles
around, and the several fragments fall in dif
ferent parts of the surrounding country—we
have not heard how far apart. The distance
apart will be of interest in determining the
probable height at which tlio explosion oc
curred. The fragment submitted to us must
of course have been broken With sharp edges,
and these were rounde l by combustion during
its fail from the place of explosion to tho
ground. This indicates a considerable height
for tho region of the explosion.
We understand, says tile Savannah Repub
lican, that on Friday morning last, an indus
trious colored woman was approaching the
city with a basket of schrimps on her head,
when she was suddenly taken sick and laid
down alone in in the woods, where she gave
birth to an infant. Hbe wrapp*d the child in
her apron and made her way to the city. Hbe
called upon a colored family who were dis
tantly related to her, lot they relused to give
ber any aid or comfort. Sho also made ap
peals to several other colored people for as
sistsneo, who all gave ber the cold shoulder.
An appeal was fiually made to Dr. Rogers,
who attended to ber case professionally, and
procured tbs means of ►ending her to her
home in the country, where sho was made
comfortable.

Of Richmond county, Georgia, at Augusta, in

until tbo arrival of Mr. Pettis, a special mes

arrived in Augusta en route for Atlanta, when
the whole party, except one constable who
jumped from the cars and made his escape,
were arrested under a writ of habeas corpus,
alleging that the crime was committed in
Richmond county, and the prisoner mast be
kept tbero and tried. The case was put down
for a hearing Saturday, and it is supposed the

It will be like the enraptured thanksgiving of

We have much for which to give thanks.—
The fruitful womb of tho oarth has not been
locked; end the liuihuudumn has reaped
"thirty, sixty and an hundred fold.” The mer
chant has reaped bountifully from his traffic,
while the mechanic and laboring man has not
beeu idle for the want of work to do. Oar
tntire State is smiling with the traits of an
enlarged and prosperous industry. She has
unlocked caverns wherein for ages have been
bidden away the richest treasures of nature,
aud she is now pouring the golden wealth into
the laps of her people, For all of those bless
ings let the people of Georgia give thanks.
Again, let the whole nation give thanks

upon rndieut wings above the altar of the na
tion as the Bhekiuah illumined the ark of tho

ness upon the shoulders of Israel's hapless
chiidien. Wo have nrrivod at that period of
our national progress when our praise need
no longer explodo from load civio mouths
withiu our borders in order to bo heart!; for
do uot the friends of liberty everywhere point
with pride to America "as the home o( the
free,” and, os a testimony of the faith that they
have iu America, are not the children of other
suus—sturdy men, who have all of nature’s
tree gifts, but to whom the immeasurable
boon of perfect freedom is denied—swarming
across tho ocean to find homes whore every
thing is as freo os God's air? That this is so
isuu abundant incentive to ovuiflowing thanks.
Then let Thursday, the 18th day of Novem
ber, be a National jubilee. Lot Uio voice of
commerco, tho thunder of manufactures, and
the murmur of all other business be hushed,
and let men show by their acts that they
honor that 8nprtmo Being who is the only

thanksgiving, and let songs of praise be put
into tho mouths of the choristers, and works
of thanksgiving be uttered iu tho pulpit. "Ob,
let all the people give thanks” by building a

It i« a happy riddano# ! For fifteen years
he has b#en an element ctf discord in hU own
Btate. Beginning his career as a village
magistrate and politician, he roe# to the (Brief
Magistracy of that State as the agrarian lead
er of a party of whioh he wae never worthy.—
Ho it was who, liko Marat, sought and ob
tained political dietiuetion os the leader of
the mob, and by Inflammatory appeal# to the
lowest passions of the popalace. He sought
to array the non-property holder against hie
more fortunate neighbor, and thna inaugu
rate an agrarian misrule v <.-ry similar to that
when on his great Parisian prototype rode
into power. It was Andrew Johnson, (a
Southern Democrat) who, to gain local au-
premsoy with hie party in Eastern Tennessee,
incorporated abolitionism in his celebrated
"White Rasis” system; and it wae this same
Andrew Johnson who alterwarde turned trait
or to the party that made him President, and
assayed to build up a sectional party upon the
elfeto aud obsolete issues of a pro-slavery
epoch.
It wam uot Demogogisui alone that made
Marat the central figure of that Mobocraoy

Revolution. Ho was uot only destitute of
honor and a stranger to every emotion of pa
triotism, and therefore wholly beyond all

simply a villain iu purpose, without the talents
and audacity necessary to success, he might
have died a malefactor, rather than lived in
history as a political leader. He was a man of
great natural powers of mind; and llieee, to
gether with the heart aud parposo of a male
factor, made him what he was.
That Johnson is a man of great native
powers of mind, no mau can deny. And yet
ho seemed utterly incapable of legitimate rea
soning. His speciality was in successful ap
peals , not to the reason, but to tbs passions
of his fellows. No man better understood or
more successfully played upon the baser in
stincts of Lis {species; and be had that Me-
phistophelian gilt of deception whioh made his
fellows see everything through the distorted
lenses of tho most groveling passions. Essen
tially vulgar aud brutal, he always hated a

sion demanded, was ever making unsaccessfnl
efforts to imitate him! It is questionable
whether ho ever had a noble impulse, or ever
experienced even for a moment, the feeling of
a man who really loved his country. Every
act of his public life boars tho unmistakable
evidences of selfishness. He would advocate
any measure, resort to any stratagem, or sac*
rifico any principle, for temporary favor with
tho Mob, and even as President of tho United
States, he conld uot rise sufficiently above

words with a drunken rabble, apply the lan
guage of Billingsgate to such Senators, Rep

the personal character of General Graut, his

The association of great talents with low in
stincts, as exemplified in the histories of
Marat of the Old, and Johnson of the New
World, is happily iliuslrated by an anecdote
of tho latter related some twelve years ago iu
Tennessee. A plain countryman, upon seeing
Mr. Johnson for the first time in his life,
remarked that ho didn’t know who that
was, * ‘but, ’’ said he, ‘ ‘any common man with such
a fact, would murder ton.” Upon being in
terrogated as to whether he really thought the
ex-Governor would commit murder if a fovor
able opportunity was offered, replied: "Cer
tainly not He has too much sense for that.
His meanness seeks a higher field of opera
tion."
The countryman’s impressions of tho great
Tennessee deraagoguo illustrates tho true
theory of mental science. Marat was not a
malefactor, not however because he wanted
the animus; but only because he had too mneb
brain ! His sohemes of anarchy never could
have boen subserved, his ambition never grat
is d, by petit larceny or robbery. He sought
p( iitical destruction in the overthrow of his
Government, and the establishment

tempted to commit petty offenses, because
their talents demanded a higher aud more ex

Urn. and Mrs. Ursst.
The Washington correspondent of tho New
York Times speaks the sentiments of all right
thinking people when he says:
The fresh assaults of the gold gamblers and
their organs upon General Grant, this time
dragging iu tho name of Mrs. Grant, attract
renewod attention bore, not only for their mat
ter, but for their sharaeless audacity. No one
hero ever credited any of theso wicked
charges, and since the President's plain letter
to Mr. Bonner nothing like suspicion eveu
existed. Bat these new developments seem to
have been mado with a view to breaking the
force of the President’i* denial. He needs
defense from such Attacks. The base attempt
to connoct the name of Mrs. Grant with the
alleged operations is us wicked as evory other
part of tho conspiracy. The obarge that she
wrote to Mr. Corbin tho letter from whioh an
extract purports to bo made in one of the New
York papers of to-day is effectually answered
by tho fact that she uover wrote to Mr. Corbin
ou any subject, and never wrote unything to
any member of his family that could possibly
be tortured in such shape.
All statomuuts or assumptions that Corbin
or any one «l*e ever had or exertml the slight
est infiiii uce iu determining in tho President's
mind whether gold should or should not be
sold, arc, like all the rest, fatso without quali
fication; aud if Mr. Corbin or any oue else, ever
mado any use ot the name of the President or
Mrs. Grant in connection with operations of
uiiy kind, it was uot only without their coosent,
hut wholly without their knowledge, end it
is hardly necessary to again declare that ttei-
thor of them over bad any interest, direct, in
direct, contingent or roiuote, iu any transac
tions of tho kind, or ever sought to control,
advise, or direct iu any such matlent, or ever
bad anything l*ut words of*Varning sgaiust
the unsrrapuloua and designing men whom
thoy saw setting tlu-ir toils for their unwary
friends. The wicked attempts to thus injure
the fair uautu of the President as a man. and
the last despicable effort to drag from the sa
cred privacy of the family circle the naiuo and
womanly fame of Mrs. Graut, deserves, as it
most receive, the universal cxeorntlou of all
decent poople.

circumstance:: of the ease, the plaintiff in er
ror was not the importer of the salt, but the

fact that ho sold in unbroken packages did
not exempt him from State taxation—ho had
not partaken of the risks of the voyage, bat
was a mere purohoser of goods to arrive.

tho salt was laden, and who had complied with

ers, were to bo deemed ths importers. The
judgment was affirmed.
