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.] 'fl’-'ae Beat Duni3>. 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, L H. CAMPBELL, LuMPEiNj Steivart Co., Nov. 11, 1852. TUESDAY DEC. ?, ,1So2. St. Mary’s Money In bills under $5 will be received in.pay merit of demands due this office. Temperance.—The Rev. Dabney P. Tones will deliver a Temperance address at this place on Thursday the 16th instant. EFT We are glad to learn that our friend Ira M. Miller, escaped the general fate of mill owners in the late freshet; his dam was very slightly damaged, not enough to stop grinding. Electoral Vote.—The electoral vote of this State was cast on Wednesday last, at MilledgevilTe, all of the electors being pre sent except Mr. Forman of Savannah. Dr, Fort was appointed by the other members of the College to supply the vaeauey. Mr. E. M. Stell of Fayette, received the ap pointment of messenger. Appointment by the Governor.—Pe ter E. Love, of Thomasville, has been ap pointed by Gov. Cobb, Judge of the South ern Circuit, vice Judge A. H. Hansel re signed. U. S. Senators.—Jucfge Evans has been elected from South Carolina, the Hots. W. K. Sebastian from Arkansas, and the Hon. Chas. G. Atherton from New Hampshire, for six years from fourth of March next. Election.—Judge A. H. Hansel of the Southern Circuit has tendered his resigna tion to the Governor, and an election has been ordered in that Circuit, to take-place on the third day of January. 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 fartherest. 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. Madame Otto Goldschmidt (the quan- dam Jenny Lind) has taken up her perma nent residence at Dresden. 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.” Terms.—Always in advance. 1 copy 1 year, $£; 2 copies, $3,60; 6 copies, $8 ; 10 copies. $15. - Graham’s Magazine : monthly.—-An old favorite, established in 1826, and still published at Philadelphia, Pa. New vol ume commences with the coming year, and the editor assures Us that the pages of’his magazine shall prove as attractive as in times past, and a little more so. In each number of the volume just closed, Graham has given 112 pages of reading matter, with Zhe usual number of steel and other engravings';’'hU promises for the future may therefore be relied upoti, and Grahams be set down as one of the standard maga zines of this ''country. His terms will be the same, as heretofore, one copy, for the year, $3; two for $5; three for $6, and so on; ot for $4 he wili send one copy of Gra ham’s Magazine and one of Godey’s Lady’s Boob, for 12 months. Address G. R. Gra ham, Philadelphia, Pa. 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 cure good literary reading.- 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- A New Work of Art.—-We understand that a new work of art is in progress of com pletion, that will indicate the signs of the times.

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.
