Horrible Tragedy! Hiisband Mur
dered by his Wife!!
On Wednesday, the 10th inst., the good
citizens of Gilmer county were startled by
the discovery of a crime of most horrible
character; the particulars of which, as rela
ted to us by a brother-in-law of the murder
ed man, are as follows:
On the morning mentioned, a woman
named Presley, living within a few miles of
Ellijay, informed her neighbors that a
strange man had stopped at the house the
day before, and tarried through that (Tues
day; night; during which he had killed her
husband. On repairing to the house, her
husband was found in bed, insensible, with
an axe still sticking in his cleft skull, and his
brains oozing out;' He breathed on until
Wednesday evening, when death came to
his relief. A daughter of the victim disa
bused the public mind, by denying that any
strange man had been on the premises as
stated by uer mother; upon whom, of course,
suspicion then fell, and she was arrested.
She thereupon confessed having herself
committed the unnatural crime, at the same
time expressing regret that she had not done
it twenty years ago.
It appears, from’the narration- to us, that
she did in fact, about that time, make the
attempt, by tying his arms across his breast,
while in a state of beastly intoxication, sit
ting astride of bis person, and essaying to
cut his throat with his own shoemaker’s
knife. She was only prevented consum
mating the awful deed, by a negro oppor
tunely dragging her from the prostrate body
of her husband.
1 he deceased bad formerly been notori
ously intemperate; but for some time past,
had led a sober life. The immediate occa
sion of his horrible murder, was a conjugal
quarrel. Strange to say, this she-monster
was released from her temporary imprison
ment in the jail at Ellijay, and is, we under
stand, now at large.—Dolton Times,
[from the southern recorder.]

AVe. invite the attention of the public to
the llev. Mr. Campbell’s communication in
to-day s paper in reference to the Deaf and
Dumb in our State. This State enterprise,
so laudable in itself, should not be permitted
to languish for want of the desired aid.
HELP GREATLY NEEDED,
I he number of pupils in the Asvlum for
the Deal and Dumb is comparatively small,
eeause the friends of humanity in the State
: el so little interest in behalf of this unfor
tunate class. To many of them, it is s ain
that the State has prepared an Asylum and
furnished it with teachers, at a great ex
pense. They know not of its advantages
and never will reap them, unless the public
mind can be aroused from the apathy which
exists upon the subject. Though the insti
tution, in its various appointments, is all the
peopje ofGeorgia could desire it to be, it is
believed there are atleast one hundred deaf
mutes,-scattered throughout the different
counties, between the ages of ten and thirty,
groping their way in darkness-—mental and
Spiritual darkness—because nofriendly hand
is reached out to conduct them to it.
The writer, for a few months past has ad
dressed friends on this subject in most parts
of the State, In some it.stances, these let
ters have not been answered. What shall
be done ? Will not some intelligent gen
tleman or lady, in each county, look after
the deaf and dumb within their reach—in
form them of the advantages held out to
them by our Asylum, and induce their pa
rents to send them ? It would afford me
great pleasure to give all necessary informa
tion to any who may desire it. In the ef
forts which T am thus voluntarily making,
for the benefit of this unfortunate elass,
hell.> is greatly needed. Indeed, I cannot
hope to succeed, unless help is afforded.
I he next term at the Asylum will com
mence about the first of February next;—
The writer calls earnestly upon tne humane
citizens of his hative State* from seaboard to
the mountains, to act promptly with refer
ence to this matter. And he once more
pledges himself to convey, to the institution
any who may be placed unler his care, or
to see that it is done bv safe hands,

Milledgeville and Eatonton R. Road.
—The first train of Cars, (says the Federal
Union) passed over the new Bridge on Lit-
•tle River on the !2th ult The track is
laid one mile beyond the river. It is
thought that the road will be completed to
Eatonton by the first of February 1853, at

Never Give it Up.--On the evening of
Monday, the 8th tilt., the Scott and Gra
ham club at Rahway, New Jersey, met,
and after settling up their accounts adjourn
ed to meet again on the evening of the first
Monday in August 1856, to prepare for
the next Presidential election.
Central Railroad.
After an interruption of about ten days?
it affords us much pleasure to say that the
cars on this road have resumed their regu
lar trips through, from Savannah to Macon,
the first train since the freshet passing
through on Saturday last. Considering the
great damage which the road is said to have
sustained by the freshet, much of the track
1 gvingbeen carried off between Tennille and
the 79, great credit and praise is due the
Superintendant, Mr. Millen, for the expedi-
t'cus manner in which the repairs have
been made. The freight trains, it was
thought, would commence running on yes
terday, but possibly will not get regularly
to work before to-morrow or next day, when
the night trains will again resume their trips.
Our Savannah exchanges for ten days pre
vious reached us on Saturday evening, all in
a lump. We assure our coteraporaries, that
we were glad to meet up with them once
more, we had Well nigh lost the ‘bang
things,’ and their old dailies refreshed us
wonderfully ; the fact is, in this day of en
lightenment and Railroad triumphs, we
don’t see how a man can feel comfortable*
and keep up With the times, without supply
ing himself with a daily newspaper, and
none are better or afforded cheaper than
those from the Savannah presses.
A New England Custom.-.—According
to universal custom, in the town of Marsh
field, on the Sabbath of-Mri Webster’s death,
between the hours of seven and eight in the
morning, the bell Of the parish church was
rung violently, to announce to the startling
inhabitants within hearing, that a death had
occurred among tbenl. Then it was struck
three times, three as a signal, that a male
person had died. Next, the bell was struck
-slowly and deliberately seventy strokes—to
denote the age of the dead; and then there
went up ii mourn fill voice from-every house*
‘‘it must be that Daniel Webster is dead.”
Valuable Recipe—In close and compact
ly built cities especially, more or lessanuov-
ance is experienced from the proximity of
cesspools, sinks, &c., and in warm weather
health often suffers. We have reason to
know that a pound of. copperas (six cents
worth,) dissolved, in a bucket of water, and
thrown where the effluvia proceeds from,
affords bn effectual remedy, ‘Changing the
gases into an in volatile Concretion.
..The Wheeling Times sWs that an Irish
girl fresh from the. sweet sod, recently ar
rived in that city, being sent to the hy
drant .for. water, went to the grindstone,
and after turning a long time, declared to
her mistress -that she Coyld-get never "A drop
from the ‘fold hydraut.’’
A New Party.—We notice that the Sa
vannah municipal elections, have called in
to existence a new party, or ticket, called
the “Citizens Ticket,” Which the Republi
can says is intended to relieve their City from
the curse of Party politics, while the Geor-
gia.il says it is only a modification of whig*
gery. The “Citizens Ticket,”certainly ought
to be a popular one, unless it comes of a
necessity which’ some times establishes a
mode oftravel over a route, familiarly known
as the “people’s line,” in that event nobody
is to be blauied if another conveyance is ta
ken.
Thackeray, in liis third lecture before
the mercantile Library Association of New
York, says that to Steele (who was the sub'
ject of discourse) all women ought to be
grateful. He was the first of British Writers
who seemed to admire and respect them ;
he paid manly homage to their goodness,
and understanding, as well as to their wit
and beauty. He admired their wit, ac
knowledged their sense, and adored their
virtue and beauty-, with a strength which
should win the good will of the sex.
It was this feeling that made his 'come
dies so pleasant, and their heroes shch fine
gentlemen. He paid to Lady Elizabeth
Hastings the finest compliment ever offered
to a woman ; for he said “that to have lov
ed her was a liberal education.” He salu
ted a good and beautiful womah with his
heart as well as his hat.
Cuban Difficulties Settled.—The ar
rival of the Isabel at Charleston ou Friday,
.brought intelligence of the settlement of
the Cuban difficulties. The Captain Gen
eral expresses his enSire satisfaction with
Purser Smith’s affidavit. Hereafter the
Crescent City with Purser Smith, may en
ter the port at Havana, without let or hin
drance. It is a good thing probably fi>F
this Government, that the Purser was able
to swear through the scrape, for all the signs
indicated that if this was not satisfactory to
the Spanish authorities, our Government
would have immediately commenced the
dextrous manonvre of a crawfish.

JLlibraries for 1853*
We have been so much crowded latterly,
that we have not had an opportunity of cal
ling atten tion to the Prospectuses of our Lit
erary exchanges, for the coming year. We
condense them, however, that our readers
may have an opportunity of judging of the
merits of these publications, and of supply
ing themselves with such as may suit them.
They are all excellent publications, and we
are confident, will fully meet the expecta
tions of subscribers.
Home Journal.—This popular and ele
gant weekly is offering great inducements
to its subscribers in its new series, which
eommmenee in January next.. The success-
which this Journal has met with, and its
appreciation by the lovers of Polite Litera
ture, are ample encouragements toils talent
ed editors to make it still more valuable to
the reading public. To those who read the
Journal, it needs no commendation. In its
typography we are free to say r that it li
the best printed paper that comes to our of
fice 1 Price $-2 in advance, address the ed
itors, Messrs Morris A Willis, at New York-
Georgia Home Gazette.—We call the
especial attention, of our readers to the
claims of this paper. It is published in Au
gusta, Ga., b-v Messrs Smythe & Whyte at
the low price of §2. Both, of the editors
are well known to the people of this State,
and ought tube patronised liberally by the
Southern people. We are sorry that we
have not had an opportunity of calling, at
tention to this paper earlier. In order to
make their paper more valuable the editors
have undertaken an onerous task of compil
ing and publishing a compendious history
of various nations.- We give below a state
raent from them of what they propose to do.
“In order to-give increased value and in
terest to the Georgia Home Gazette, we
shall commence on the 17th or 24th of
November, the publication of a Compendi
ous History of various nations, ancient and
modern. Our main object ie to furnish
striking and interesting Passages of great
Characters and events in ttie History of a
country, and at the same time present to
the reader, a compehdof its history. Some
portions of our work will consist of but little
more than a Chronological statement of
Facts. Such will be the case in reference
to periods of history which were marked by
nothing remarkable, either in the affairs of
Government or the progress of Science and
Art.
It will be seeti at a glance, that this will
be a laborious undertaking. We hope that
it may meet public favor, and feel that it
should, as it will eoinpress, in a small com
pass, much valuable information, especially
for the young and persons of limitiecl means
and education. It is impossible, now., to
say how long it will take to conclude it, but
we apprehend a twelvemonth at least.
This single publication will be worth to
each subscriber more than the cost of the
paper (-$2.) for that length of time. Those
who may desire to obtain the Analects and
Compendium entire, would do well to sub
scribe without delay.”

The ItLtfsfrayed Family Friend.---A
literary weekly, published at : Columbia S.
C., by S. A. Godman, at $2 per annum. It
is a very useful,' instructive and amusing
paper for the huffily circle, and we believe
the only illustrated weekly now published
in the southew country. A new volume
began on the 6th December, in the first
number of which the editor commences an
original sea story, entitled The Opium
Smuggler, and which it is contemplated
will run through ten numbers*, to be illus
trated in each number ; with appropriate
embellishments. In addition, other tales
and select reading suitable for all, will fill
its columns weekly. Any one wishing a
good southern family paper (the illustrated
Friend), and an excellent northern; maga
zine (Graham’s) ean have both for one year
by sending $3 50 to S. A. Godman, Co
lumbia, S. C. A rare chance this, fo.se

Tlte Freshet.
We have been visited during the past
week with one of the most disasterous fresh
ets which has been known in this section of
country for years. In 1841 the Chattahoo
chee rose to a greater height, though it did
less damage to our city, or to the planting
interests adjacent to said river.
On Wednesday "evening the ram com
menced falling in heavy showers, and kept
np its lick with slight intermission till some
time in the afternoon of Friday. About
noon of Thursday, a portion of the Canal
wall together with the flume of Winter’s
Palace Mill were carried away, and in their
course swept off the bridge connecting the
East bank of the river, with the Variety
Works—thus cutting from all communica
tion with the shore, some dozen or more
workmen and one little boy, who were in
the Variety Works building at the time. By
the active and timely efforts of our citizens,
however, and at no inconsiderable peril they
were, just before night set in, all safely set
on terra firma. By Friday morning, a
great portion, of the 3tone wall of the canal
was washed down and the whole completely
covered with a wild rushing current of wa
ter. Thus in the short spaee 36 hours, was
an immense outlay of capital, and labor ren
dered useless, aud the whole machinery of
our Cotton Mills and other works stopped
for no one can tell how long..* But the
damage does not end with, this injury to
our city. We hear of great quali ties of Cot
ton carried off from plantations on the river
below, and in some instances the Gin hou
ses with considerable amounts of Cotton,
both in the bale and in the seed. One of
the steamers plying on lhe river, some days
since while on hei downwardpassage Iadened
with Cotton, struck, a snag, just above Snake
Shoals aud sunk, but by the untiring exer
tions of the master and crew, a large , por
tion of the cargo was put on shore. It is
feared that the sudden rise in the river has
swept off the greater part if not the whole
of ihe Cotton thus landed. An agent of the
Insurance Companies was dispatched to look
after so m uch of ibe cargo as was saved* but
the rapid rising of the waters, and the po
sition of all tbe crafts upoD the river at the
time rendered it impossible to reach the
point. Some damage was also done to- tbe
Muscogee Railroad, but we suppose it has
all been repaired, as the cars commenced
their regular trips again-on Sunday evening.
Our communications by telegraph, by rail
road and by stage have been so much inter
rupted, in every direction, that it is impos
si We to tell the amount of damage, public
and private, that has been done. At this
season of the year, many of the planters on
the river have considerable portions of their
Cotton erop upon the banks ready for ship
ment, and no doubt much loss lias been sus
tained by them from their inability to re
move it from the rapidly rising waters. Many
planters also, we learn, had not gathered
their Corn, and much of this is probably
destroyed. Ail things considered, this is
perhaps the most destructive freshet which
lias ever occurred in our river. Whether
hke damage has been done upon other
streams, we have as yet r had no means of
ascertaining.
*R. S. Since the above was written, the
water in the river lias gone down rapidly,
and we are glad to learn that the Coweta
Falls Factory has sustained little or no
damage, and operations were resumed, as
usual, yesterday morning. We regret that
we cannot say the same of the other Facto
ries in the vicinity.— Columbus Enquirer.
San Nrancisco.-San Francisco has be
come one of the most important commercial
cities of the Union, and yields a revenue to
the Government only exceeded by that de
rived from New York, Boston and Phila
delphia. In view of the amount of her con
tributions to the national treasury, we learn
from the New York Times, California is a
bout to make large additional demands up
on the Government. There is yet some lo
cal jealousy as to the claims of rising towns
in the new State, to be considered its per
manent commercial centre. But if San
Francisco succeeds in maintaining her pre
eminence, intese efforts will be made to ren
der her mistress of the Pacific trade; and,
whatever be their result in reference to their
main object, they cannqt fail to build up a
splendid city. The subject in which the
citizens of San Francisco seem at this time
to manifest the deepest interest, is, in ma
king their harbor the great naval station of
the Pacific. With that view," they demand
expenditures and the commencement of
works which shall put the port upon a par
with the New York, Charlestown and Nor
folk Navy Yards. The demand appears to
be entirely reasonable, and a prompt and
cheerful compliance with it is dictated as
well by the general interests of the country,
as by the solicitude of the people of Califor-

Statistics of the U. S. Census.
The New York Times notices the census
of 1850 thus:
In respect to' territory, it appears that
during the last ten years, we have extended
the area of the United States from 2,055,-
153 to 2,230,572 square miles, without
including the great lakes, or the sea bays.
The population gained by these access
ions, is 172,000. No full returns have, as
yet, come in from California, but assuming
its population, partly by estimate, at 165,-
OQO. the whole population of the Union is
23,263,488. Absolute increase from 1840,
6,194,035; increase per cent, 36, 28; or,
deducting that from the addition of territo
ry, and the relative increase is 35,27 per
cent. <
The number of whites is 19,630,728, and
the relative increase of the last ten years is
37,28 per cent.
The slaves amount to 3,204,08-9 \ relative
increase, 28,81 per cent.
The number of free colored is 428,661 ;
relative increase since 1840, 10,96 per
cent.
If we refer to the date of previous tables,
it appears that the increase of the whites in.
the Union every decade since 1790, has
been very equal; being lowest from 1820
to 1830, (33,95per cent.) With the slaves
the greatest increase has from 830 to 1840
(30,61 per cent) and the least, from 1830
to 1840, (23,8 per cent.) The average in
crease of the free colored, on the other hand,
has regularly diminished since 1790 * being
82,25 in the third, and rising a little in the
fourth, it falls in this-last 10,96 per cent.—
A fact worth considering as respects the
probable destiny of this race.
In the most favored country of Europe,
the Report states, the decimal increase is
less than 1 1-2; per sent per annum * while
in the United Slates it is 8 1-2 per cent,—
In 61) years, with the present rate of in
crease on both continents, the population of
the Union will exceed that of England,
France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden- and.Swit
zerland combined.
As respeets the rate of increase Jin the dif
ferent New Englaud Statesy during the last
ten years, it” is greatest in Rhode Island,
(35,57,) and least in Vermont, (7,59,) which
is also the least in the whole Union.
What is somewhat remarkable, the rate
of increase in the great States of New York
Pennsylvania, Ohio- and Maryland, is less
than either Rhode Island or Massachusetts.
In the whole Union, Wisconsin- shows
the greatest ratio, (896,48;) next Iowa,
(345,84;) then Arkansas, (114,85;) and
Michigan, (87,33.)

We look upon the discovery of this route,
as a very important item to Western Texas'.
Before we had considerable advantage over
the Santa Fe route to Chihuahua, both in
distance, road, water, and grass, as well as
of Tempesance a warm advoc te.

Resolved, That we- sincerely sympathize

Resolved, That this Division wear the usu
al badge of mourning for space of thirty days,:
Resolved, That the R. S. be requested to*
enter this Preamble and Resolutions on the-
i Record Book, and forward a copy ^f the same
climate. And how by this discovery the] to the parents of Brother Baker, and um a
distance through Western Texas, by way of; copy of the same he published in the Central;
San Antonia, is reduced three hundred Georgian.and Temperance Banner
miles. Now that Port La Vaca aud San
Antonia are included in a Collection District,
which will enable those shipping foreign
goods over this route, to *-eceive the draw
back to which they are entitled, we feel con
fident that all the goods shipped to North
ern Mexico will pass through this city.
This is as it should be, being the shortest
safest and best-route.— Texian.
