IMMittj or deftalxaf. »b« < par ecnt j
and that it doea not lie in hie mouth to eay
that his subscriptiou so received aud allowed

it being the opinion of this Court that the pay.
meot of five dollars per share was a condition
precedent to the subscription ; and that a sub-
scription without the payment of the five dol.
Jars per share, waa illegal and void, and can-
not be enforced by the corporation.
Jons Killkt, plaintiff in error, vs. the State of
Georgia:
From Superior Court of Catooea county. Re
versed, on the ground that the Judge erred in
charging the Jury, that if the defendant car
ried the pistol with only the butt exposed to
view, and the barrel concealed, this was not
carrying it in an open manner, and fully ex
posed to yiew, and they would he authorised
to find him guilty. The charge should have
been, that if the defendant carried the pistol
so exposed to view that it could readily be seen
and recognized as a pistol by one having his
person in view, he carried it in legal contem
plation, in an open manner, and fully exposed
to view; but if it were so far concealed (though
partially exposed) that it could not be s-en
and readily recognized as a pistol, it was car
ried in a manner forbidden by the statute, and
the defendant was guilty.

amount paid by debt in error, without requir
ing the payment of the sum so paid, with inter
est to time of payment. Further, that the Court

The Mobile “ Register” also contains an ably
written artiole against the formation of politi
cal parties at ibis time. We gladly chronicle
these evidences of a haattby feeling In our iii-
tar State on this subject.
Tim “Richmond Whig,”
la an able, hot to oar mind, sophistical ar
gument against Secession, at thia time, by Vir
ginia, makes the important admission that a
connection with our Confederacy, at some time,
Is probable; and says, “ it is too probable to be
burried into, without delaying a sufficient time
to settle the terms upon which our destinies
ere to be linked together.”
Now, every ehiid in the oountry, who reads
the newspapers, ean tell the terms upon which
the destinies of Virginia can be linked with
the Confederate States. She has nothing to do
huttoseceds from the United States as we have
done, and adopt our Permanent Constitution.
She ean come in upon the same terms that oth
er States can, and upon an equal footing with
all. If the editor of the “Whig” is afraid his
State will not be admitted upon fair and equal
terms, he is not intelligent enough to cohduct
a public journal. If he wants Virginia to be
united with ue upon better terms than tho
other States, be will not get hie desires. No
delay—no arrangement of terms—no diploma
cy, can do this for him. He, (the editor of the
“Whig,”) may desire, and try to secure some
advantage of this kind, and this may be the
secret o< his opposition to Secession by his
State; but we know that the honorable aud
high minded people of Virginia will neither
ask nor accept any such favors at onr hands.
Thera will never be a better time for Virgin
ia to unite with us than now, or one at which
more favorable terms can be obtained in doing
Political Parties.
We take the following two articles from the
Montgomery “Confederation,” and heartily in
dorse the good sense they contoin, and the pa
triotic spirit which dictated them. The truth
which they oontain ia equally applicable to
the people of Georgia, which we hope will be
heeded:
A Oohvbhtion.—It is intimated that a Con
vantioaof the people of Alabama will be called
very aoon for the purpose of nominating a can
didate for Governor. Ae we believe that the
people are neither disposed to revive old par
ties, nor desirous of forming others for the sake
of the individual promotion of any one man,
or any particular olass of politicians, we would
advise them to look out for this call. It will
he forthcoming in a few days, and although it
will invite the people to the sumptuous feast
which will be prepared, it will certainly pro
vide that they are not to “ partake too much,”
nor heve too much to eay.
All of those people who ere in fevor of let
ting the “ past be of tha past/' and who object
to the reviving of old parties or the organisa
tion of new ones, will boon their guard. If
we thought that the calling of a Convention
would advance the interest of the Confederate
States, and would prevent political wrangling!
and disputes ia this State, we would be in fa
vor of it; but es we are convinced that while
it will embarrass, to a degree, the new Govern
ment, it will elso raise two partioe here—the
very thing we are laboring to avoid—-we are
going to oppose it. The people do not waut a
Convention; and tho one whioh ia to ba called
will be for the promotion of those who are not
disposed to respect their wishes. Mark it 1
Party.—It has become a well ascertained
feat that the people of this State are strenu
ously oppoasd either to the organisation of new
parties, or the continuation or those which ex
isted previous to the establishment of the new
Government, under which we are so prosper
ously living.
Men who have toiled assiduously for (he
cause of Democracy—men who have fought a
good fight for the old Whig party—men who
i State,end men who
i subserved, are
to be found now willing to bury all heretofore
political difference* in order to inaur* the sue-
1 owe allegiance, and the attain
meat of those ends for which it was establish
ed. This is the purest of patriotism.
Party lines must now be completely obliter
ated; old political animosities and prejudices
must be forgotten, and a common feeling of
unanimity must be cultivated among the peo
ple of the differeot States of this Confederacy,
or else embarrassments will be thrown iu the
way of the administration, whioh will waaken
the great eonfidaaee which it enjoya at the
present time, end retard the successful march
whioh it now seem* to ba be making. Onr
Government is young and permanent, bat our
enemies being well aware of its youth, could
not be satisfactorily convinced either of its
permanency or its security if we are to proceed
at onoe to the organisation of parties, and in
this way Inaugurate the sains state of things
which existed Were eny secession took plaoe.
Tna Dueabilitv or Sron*.—It is said tha
the stone cf which Westminster Pelace is built
is doomed to entire destruction, unless speedily
protected by some covering. The stone is not
crystalixed, and rapidly decays when exposed
to the sulphate of amonia, with which the at
mosphere of London is very considerably
charged. Public buildings very frequently suf
fer from not using the proper kind of building
stone. The columns ot the Custom House iu
thia city are an instance. The marble is in a
condition of exfoliation, as any one may see
by examining it—Bvllimorc Sun.
pgr The San might also have mentioned the
old portion of the United States Capitol, as an
instance in which the building would soon go to
destruction, if left unprotected. It is built of
stone which was very easily worked, and was
obtained in Virginia, near by. The contract
for furnishing it, it is said, was procured
through tho influence of a Virginia member of
Congress, who gave it as a job for some politi
cal reward to one of his constituents. Several
thousand dollars are spent onjthis portion of
tbe Capitol every year, in painting it to pre
serve it. There are large holes in the walls,
caused by decay. These are kept filled with
putty—someof them taking as much as a pound
or more to fill them.
The two wings of tha Capitol are built of
Italian marble, and will last for all time. Some
of the public buildings in Washington are
made of marble obtained in Maryland; and
this will, in course of time, to a greater or
leas extent, exfoliate or crumble away. No
doubt the columns of the Custom House in Bal
timore, to which allusion is made in the re
marks of the Sun, are of this same Maryland
marble.

cessfully worked in Hall county, and a large
amount of geld hee been taken from thorn.—
But it is not of these that wa now propose to
speak. Our county has given tokens of pro
ductiveness in that richest and rarest gem,
the diamond.
The diamond fi Supposed to have been of
vegetable origin, and to have proceeded from
tbe slow decomposition of some vegetable res
in, or bitumioous matter. It is formed of pure
carbon crystalized. It burns, and is wholly
consumed at a temperature of 14? Wedgeweod,
producing carbonic acid gas. Some specimens,
after being exposed to the sun for some time,

The diamond appears generally to appear in

regions; that afford a laminated granul
rock, called Itacoiumite, which pertains
taloose series, and owes its lamination to a lit*
tie talc or inica. This rock is found in abund
ance in the diamond mines of tho Ural Moun
tains and Brazil, and it is iu tbe Itacolumite
belt that they are found in Hall county. Up
to a very recent period, only four or five dia
monds had been found, and these had been ac
cidentally picked up while mining for gold.
We propose to give such fsets in relation to
each of them as we have been able to obtain.
And in doing tbia, we shall commence with
tub u;adk mines.
Tbe Glade Mines embrace an area of about
•ixty or sevemy acres, and have been worked
for manv years by Dr. Banks and Mr. Thomas
Bell. They are situated on Flat Creek, two
miles from tbe Chattahoochee, and about thir
teen miles North of Gainesville. Several years
before any diamonds were found in the Ulude
Mines, a Germuu geologist visited tho place,
And said that be was certain that diamonds
could be found there. He cut a paper iu a cer
tain form, and told a little boy that if be ever
found a stone resembling tbst, be mubt keep

From the N. 0. Grevcent of the JS-J.
A Generous Deed.
Mr. J. M. Raum, of this oity, has received
from Mr. James Smith, of Glasgow, Scotland,
a consignment of fire arms and munitions of
war, whioh the latter has sent as a present
to the oity of Jackson, Mississippi. Mr. Smith
is a Scotchman, who came to this oountry, re
aided several years in Jackson, and then re
turned to his native land. Hearing that trou
ble was anticipated here, and that there was
a prospect of war, his hsart yearned toward
the people among whom he resided, and be
voluntarily sends them, per ship Nelson, from
Liverpool, three cases and one cask, contain-
_ 2o Quitman rifles, with sword bayonets,
1 six pounder gun, 50 rounds of shot, 12
rounds of canister shot, and 12 canisters ; and,
not to do the thing by halves, he paid tbe
frieght on tham across the ocean to this city.
This is a handsome deed, and a noble deed,
on tbe part of a gentleman having no further
connection with tbia oountry, but actuated on
ly by kindly memories of the past. And it is
creditable, too, to the people of Jackson, that
their former cittzen is so warmly attached to
them ; and they will no doubt feel properly
proud of this manifestation of his good-will.
We append Mr. Smith’s letter to Mr. Raum:
Glasgow, Feb. 21, 1801.

Tbe first diamond found in Hall county, we
believe, was that fouud in the Glade Mines by
a man named Nelson, while working in the
mines about 1840. He lock it to Mr. Cooper,
then Superintendent of the Branch Mint at
Dahlouega. It was sent to Philadelphia, aud,
we believe, was finally purchased by l»r. Pat
terson, tha Superintendent of the United States
Mint. It whs a diamond of the first water, but
we have not be.*n able to ascertain its vblue.
Tbe second diamond l«uud in this mine was
found on the Stocking Eater branch, by Thom
as Bell. It was a betulilul gem in its natural
state, so much so, that it was contemplated to
set it without cutting. It was sent to Loudon
twice, and to Paris once, for the purpose of as
certaining its value. It was prononunced a
diamond ef the first water, and was valued at
$530. Its value has been variously estimated,
and. at the present time, the price of diamonds
having advanced, the estimate would proba
bly be much highe *. This diamond ht<s been
seen by many ot our citizens. It is worn by
one of the fairest of the daughters of G tines-
ville, Miss Sue W. Banks, who has herself been
appropriately called •* The Diamond of Hall
county.”
Still another diamond was (bund in this
mine, also found by Mr. Nelson, who ran off
with it. Its size and value, and the disposi
tion he make of it, are unkuown.
A Prof. Phillips, from Pniladelphia, washed
for diamonds in the Glade Mines for a short
lime, but, we believe, without success. His
machinery for washing is said to have been
defective.

us some beautiful specimens, not only of tbe
diamond, but of tho rocks which usually oo-
Tourmaliue, Monosite, Ruby, Gold, A
understand that, though just commencing . id-
rations, he bas found five small diamonds.
Tho first diamond from this mine waa found
about 1840, by John M Luther while searching
for gold. Thia diamond waa shown to Mr. An
drew 9. Wilson, (uow residing in Arkansas; as
a beautiful rock- He offered ten cents for it,
which tbe finder readily took. It was sold to
Dr. Daniel for about $30. It was scut to Eu
rope by I>r. Daniel, (who is at present a citizen
of DeKalb oouuty) and it proved to he a dia
mond of the first water, its real value being
$($).
The second was found by William Dowdoy,
Esq , of this county, who broke it pieces •• to
see what made it shine so.” It was probably
worth from throo to five hundred dollar*.
This ends our catalogue of Hall county dia
monds. Others may have been found, and se
cretly disposed of. Those enumerated are suf
ficient to show that s did result may arise from
a practical examination of the Itacoiumite belt
of Hell county. We wait with anxiety th
progress of Dr. Stevenson's operations.

miserable delusion that ever catered into the
minds of men ia Uiat rf the return of the rece
ded States to the Confederacy. An intelligent
Virginian, who has thoroughly trnveraed these
States, expresses ibe epiolon that there i*
about as much pmspeot of their return as
there wad of the Brintish Colonies to Great
Uritiao, after the battle of Yorktown. What
should they return for ? Who will bring them
back ! The Border States, which have Ueser
ted them in their hour of trial ? Now that
(hey have worked out their own salvation, and

all the while as a tnilUioae upon tbair nseks,
be able to ooas (bom hack to their own yoke

gia furnishes to her sister States of the South
the bi*t possible argument in favor of prompt
action—precipitate action, if you choose—in
the way ol tedreseing wrong inflicted upon her
by an unfriendly power. Thirty odd years
ago, during John Quiooy Adam*’ Administra
tion, she brought the Federal Government to
terms, through the gallantry and determina
tion of her Troup. Subsequently, in defiance
of a mandaaiua of the Supreme Court of the
United States, she asserted her sovereignty
over the Indian Territory which had passed
to her by treaty, and soou succeeded in scou
ring Ati acknowledgment of her claims, legal
and moral, by llto whole world. And now,
when the goods of her cititeus are seized by
the authorities of New York, Georgia acting
under the lex tolionie, seized all the New York
vessels she could fiud in the port ef Savannah,
and the result whs a «*peedy surrender, on the
part of Now York, of the goods stolen from
