Xhe Health Committees- c
The appointment of persons to examine into
the condition of the cellars and lots within the
corporate limits, has always been regarded as an
important matter incur police affins; and, lo '
the vigorous discharge of the duties of these com - '
tultlccs, heretofore, does our city owe that exemp
tion from disease, which has been such a cause
for wonder abroad. We hope the same rigid s
examinations which have heretofore been obscr- 1
ved, will be continued. The Committee for
Ward No 3 have an arduous task before them |

The police officers should bo instructed by the ■
Chairman of the Committee for each Ward, to
see that every cellar is properly ventilated, and
the back lots well cleaned, and lime thoroughly
sprinkled where it is needed. The health of our
community should not be hazarded because some
choose to neglect the proper precautionary
measures lo preserve health. 'I ho Committees

Governor Gilmer and Gov. Lumpkin, and their

former commands the admiration, and has the

Gloria to screen himself under his usual mask
ol talsehood and deception.

George R. Gilmer—the people’s Governor of
Georgia—may his name bo embalmed in the
ocean of remembrance, for his sound principles.

realise the highest expectations of his friends.—
Let him persevere itr his present course and all
will be well.
By Dr. C. B. Guyton. Amos Kendall—the
firm adherence ol the citizens of Laurens county
to the principles ot Stale Rights, has acquired for
us a fame which secures to our county, all the
injustice and oppression that can be imposed by
this tool of arbitrary power, the Post Master
General. His recent conduct in the removal of
the stage route running from Macon to Savannah,
iso as to exclude our citizens from its benefits, is
but another act to bo added to his long list of
political crimes.

Parly of Georgia-their recent flimsy artifice to

indignation of an injured and misrepresented
people, and charge his base conduct to Governor
Gilmer, is borh contemptible and ridiculous ; and
only equalled by their previous vile atterrq t to

his dignified, republican, and virtuous administra

grovelling attacks of his enemies. He now moves
on in the oven tenor of his course, dispensing ben

spirit. Let the present prosperous condition and
political honor of the Slate proclaim his praise.
By A. E. Notes : The independent and ener

entitle him to the confidence of the people, and

consigned him to the humble station which na

By T. Rowland ; John C. Calhoun —his re

to the fame of a political juggler.
By Dr. C B. Guyton : Win. C. Dawson—the

Humble Murder.
An association of the most atrocious and appal
ling character was lately perpetrated in the Paiisli
of St. Bernard. 'The details are as follows : On
Friday last, five Irishmen entered the house of
an individual, an inn-kcopcr, residing in Iho
Parish of St. Bernard. They culled for break
fast: they were supplied, and after finishing their
meal, one of the number arose and approached
the nmater of the homo. After a sow words had
been interchanged between the two, the report of
a firo-arrn was heard, and the huikceper fell mor
tally woundod by a b ill in bis breast. A woman
who was in the house entered the room, attracted
by tbe cries and tumult. As soon as she was
perceived a pistol was fired al her, and her check
bone broken by tbe ball. Not yet content with
their dreadful occupation, these miscreants fell
upon a little infant that was sleeping undistuibcd
by the havoc around it, and fractured its limbs in
the most shocking manner, by a succession of
blows wiih sticks and the butt cud of their pis.
tols. The unhappy innkeeper being found still
to survive, was finally despatched with tbe poig
nard. In order to elf?.co as quickly as possible
all traces of their crime, they procured horse* ar !
repaired to Now Orleans so rapidly that one nftho
animals All dead on its arrival. The appearance
of tbe murderers, and oilier circumstances aroused
i the suspicion of llie police, and enquiry brought
[ forth proof enough to lead to the detention of
i iheir persons. We have not learned whether
, the wounds received by the woman and child are
I mortal.—uVew Orleaiu Bee.

re . of the affair ;

a brace of black eyes. The Circumstances were

morning, Mr. Maury was very active in procuring
a call ot the House, in order In show to tho conn
try wltn wore the delinquents. Mr. Campbell

bar with tho rest in custody of the Sergcant-al
Arms. When tho House adjourned, tho laitei
went lo Iris colleague and reproached him for
his conduct in aiding lho call, at the same lime
alleging that Mr. At. had done it with a view to
injure him (Mr. (',) at home, among his constit
uenls. C ihiaiion and recrimination followed,
and each gentleman honored his opponent with
(ho epithet of “ liar, scoundrel,’ &c. As might
bo expected, a personal conflict was the result,
nud blows were bestowed in abundances. Not
more than live members remained when the fracas
commenced, unit they, of course, did not attempt
Yi 10 interfere. After the belligerents had belabored
each other to their heart’s content, they suspended
hostilities, retired to their respective homes, and
have not been seen since. It is said they arc so
well satisfied with lit'.ir mutual inflictions, that
no doubts are entertained us lo further proceed,

| mew.—The St. Johns (N. U.) Chronicle, of the
!)olh June, says it is authorized lo slate that a
hut of SIOOO is ready lo he staked, that a boat
shall ho built and rowed by six British natives of
that city, against any other boat and equal num»
bar ol men that can tie produced from any oilier
part ol the world. This challenge, it is said, is
intended to meet the eyes of the Whitehall boat
men, who, it may ho recollected, beat Captain
Harris in Ilia gig boat; a few years since, at New
Yoik, and from whom the loyal New Btuns
wrekers have great desire lo regain lire palm.
An Intkhksti.no Oceuation.— The Herald
of Thursday contains a notice of an operation for
cancer, performed at the.'Franklin Infirmary, by
Ur. Luzcnbcrg. “The patient,” says lire Herald,
“was an elderly woman—shout GO years of age,
wo should judge—and find been afflicted with a
torturing eppeer in the breast for yours. When
I laced upon tho operating table, and (ho upper
portion ol her dress removed, the sight was ghasl,
ly enough. The left Inpast resembled in shape
a huge cauliflower, very hard lo lit-, touch, and
truly revolting lo look upon. The roots of the
cancer extended so far, it was found necessary to
remove the entire left breast, occupying acir
cumferenco from eighteen inches lo two feet, if
not more. This the Doctor accomplished in a
manner which reflects groat credit upon him as a
surgeon.” We learn that the operation was per
formed according to the most scientific principles.

Tire Lust Theft.
Tiro most impudent and expert achievement
in the art of thieving that wo have lately
heard of, was related to us a few days since,
ns folllows:
At a labourer's boardin<j-hot’.so, where it is
customary in warm weather for the men to
leave their coats in lire entry while at meals,a
sion one day while all hands Were uuaj
dinner. Accordingly ho reconnoitred the
passage-way, saw a good variety ol coals and
jackets, some new, some ImlLworn, &c. all ol
which ho gathered into his arms and carolofsly
commenced making Irs exit. Just ns lie was
about to cross the threshold, the man of tire
house, who was late ut dinner, orrived at the
door.
“What are you doing with those coats'!’
said the landlord.
‘l’m taking’em to my shop, sir,'
‘And what, for!’
‘The gentlemen want to get ’em scoured
sir,’ replied the thief.
‘Oil then, if that’s all,’ said the landlord, ‘I
believe my coat wants scouring and you may
take it along too.’
So saying, ho dofred his garment, handed
it over lo the thief, and proceeded to his
dinner. The surprise of the boarders, when
they went to get their habiliments, and the
confusion of the landlord in giving his state
ment may well i v 3 iihag hod. — N. O. Pica .

An Kansas ano A» ! The strongest kind of,
team —Alligators in harness — /ip, mi/ long
tails !—They may talk of taming “un .taming
hyenas,” of bringing ferocious tigers under
sunjection e.rrd making them as gentle as Jambs
and all that sort of thing; but when it comes
lo break alligators sp that they will work in
harness, we knock under. Tho invention of
steam was a mere circumstance in compari
son—clectro-magnelicrn, even if it is ever
’ brought to such pci feet ion as lo assist in turn
-1 ing a windmill in a gale, would be a minor
1 consideration —hut to tiro story.
The Captain of a steamboat engaged in the
J Red river trade has informed us, although we
r are inclined to think he was joking, that a
I wealthy individual up that way has lamed and
1 trained a couple of alligators so that they will
p swim in harness and haw and goo about as
regular as oxen. So well, indeed, have they
, been broken that their owner frequently lack
-1 les them up, hitches them lo a “dug-out,” and
, cruises about the bayous and ponds when the
; waters are 100 high to admit of his going on
i horseback.
i On a late occasion, while sailing along qui
etly under tho banks of a bayou wit Jr h's “crit.
tors” harnessed in abreast, he was seen by a
I' hunter, who sung out. ;
“1 say, there ! hallo I drap your dug out Ba
ton) and give me u chance to plug one of them
varmints.”
“Don’t shoot this way-take care, don’t
you see I’m after them'!’ said tho owner, os
1 tin; backwoodsman levelled hio riflle.
| “I see you’re after ’em, and you’ll see a
ball follenn on the same trail in less than
P two minits. Look out for yourself, stranger;
here goes for a crack at the varmint this way.”
“fllop! hold up your rifle That’s my team
3 you are aiming at. Look attire harness, there,
rust on the top cl tfn- water. Tb y are hitch
ed to tire canoe, and I am on a little jaunt out 1
j back to look at and entervorne ’and-!.”
, ‘-Well, I declarl” said tho old hunter, “if
i. that don’t beat ail the doins I’ve heer’d on
it rny way in the thick settlements, f reckon
d you understand animal magnetism, as they
e call it, a few.”
s “I understand training alligators.”
„ ‘ Well, you can pass—hope you’ll have a
pleasant excursion.”
fl The man now stirred up his team, and was
;e soon under way pt a rate which would leave
’. I a common high promote steamboat out of
1 sight in no time. —.V. O. Pfayme
