Dear ConstiltifiohaVst: This has bo: i an uausaily interesting week in'Lexington- The Superior Court of Oglethorpe county held its spring ses sion from Monday until yesterday after noon, and then adjourned till court in course The'presiding Judge, Hon. Garnet An drews, conducted the business with ere lit to his judicial ability and gave general sat isfaction, to the bar and people. Upon a point rising under the relief law, he held that a contract made before the war was a contract to pay the specific nnm her of dollars (herein mentioned, and that though he was bound under the ruling of the Supreme Court to admit the testimony as to the amount of property owned by the debtor when the contract was made, how much he had lost; in what manner, etc., as is provided in the relief law, yet as to the effect this testimany was to have, he would not, until further controlled by the Su. preme Court, allow an. old debt to be scaled upon the groandvthat-the debtor bid lost his property, or other such ground; that he couljl seeno equity.in it, and unless there was a plea of failure of consideration, or some’similar one, the reduction of the amount ofthe debt was in violation of the '"'ederal Constitution. Affidayita filed by debtors for the pur pose of reopening judgments under the above law, were summarily dismissed and the levying officer ordered to proceed. Quite a number of cases involving points arising under the homestead and relief laws, are going np to the Supreme Court from nearly every county in the Northern Cir cuit. : • The criminals, Simpson and Weaver, who last winter stole several thousand dol lars in ourrency and gold from Mr. Jesse Dalton, ofthis county, and who were caught below Atlanta by the energetic and talented John C. Reid, came into court, pleading guilty, and were sentenced by the Judge to three year’s confinement in the Penitentiary. The History of Gen. Longstrect’s Letter A writer in the Banner of the Sonth, (Father Ryan’s paper) under date of Al exandria, Ya., March 24, says : “And now about that letter, and what now say I have direct, as spoken by Long- street himself, when in an adjoining county to this, last year visiting a valued friend.— He says that after the warclosed ha was in Ne-t Orleans, and also many other Confed. esatc Generals, and on a certain occasion, being in conversation with some of his brother officers, it was thought that they were looked upon with distrust and bate by. the United States authorities, that a letter written by some one or more of those on the subject would be a benefit to tbe South. being the ranking General, was in to write the letter. General it says be thought gome exp;o3, him, dr ajl of them, accepting the situation,‘would be of uo. benefit to the South. He says the letter was written by himself, and Afterwards handed around among his brother offloers for their oonsid- eraticn, somo of whom approved altogether, some altered some of the expressions, and the letter was then returned to him. Gen eral Longstreet, for publication. It was published, and yon know the storm it rais ed; and now comes the disgraceful part of the proceeding. The very Generals who approved of that letter slunk from oqr loved General, and left him aloqe to bear the brunt and re- proach called np in the South by that let ter. Not one has had the manliness to ac- knoweledgo that he knew anything of it; and Gen. Longstreet, with that doggedness of disposition which rendered his corps in- vincible, said he was able to b-ar it all, and would not murmur, that letter had caused trouble enough, let it stop with him. Nor did he depart from this determina tion except on one occasion. Just after the letter was published he met one of the Generals refereed to above on the street, who immediately crossed to tfle other side, not wishing to feoognize him. A few days afterward, as Gen. Longstreet sat in the St. Charles Hotel in conrersation with some friends,- this General came in, bat did not recognise Longstreet; smarting under this insnlt, he called the former, and said: “I wish to say to these gentlemen in your presence, that you were oqq ofthe men who Died this letter, and the last one who it before publication, aud as much ^ in the mud as I in the mire.” Mr*. Smith, of Qbio, was at the louse on Monday, having in her the sword carried by the Con- ederate General John C. Breckinbridge, prior to the capture of Selma, Alabama. The sword is incased in a handsome steel scabbard, with gold bands, and bears on the side a gold plate with this inscription, “From Fialoy’s and Bute’s brigade: to Gen eral J.|0. Breckinbridge, as a mark of es teem and admiration for their mneh-loved commander.” The weapon was captured bf the 80n-of the lady having it in posses sion, a member of tho 4th Qhio cavalry, which made a raid on Selma and captured thesword Inthe bouse where Breekinbridge W»s stopping, ftreokiubridge escaped from tho back doer, leaving bis sword upon tbe table. The Internal Revenue Receipts.— It is stated, semiofficially, that the receipts from customs now promise to be tbe largest of any one year in the history of the Gov ernment, reaching probably 8190,000,000, pr 820,000,000 in excess of the estimates, and it is oof im'poesihle that they may even reach tfle high figure Of8200,000,000. The intenal revenue receipts to the present time ate in excess of $110,000,000. The remriulng *hro*' months, till July, will cov er the greater portion ofthe iuoome tax and the special -tax--which falls due Hty.il and which will augment there- ono ' ’ ‘i $150,000,000, and possibly to it -j- U©“The New York Commercial, alluding to (ha oorrupt legislation of the times, says that there seems to be no securiety against the money power of tho country.

Samuel Clark, about six miles from this city, in Beech Island. Our informant says tiiat on Sunday these two negroes went with a cart to the corn crib of Mr. Clark to steal a load of corn. They . were seen loading their cart by a young man, who got his gun and went after them. They were told to leave, but heeded not, when the young man fired killing one of the thieves.

It might be so different one cannot help thinking. The adaptai for harm my so wonderful! The ejeu of happiness so manifold and so rich! Yet how often—how miseradly sometimes—it all miscarries! The waters of Paradise turn ed to fountains of bitterness—tbe gifts of Heaven perverted to curses upon earth! I do not mean that there are few unions yielding reasonable oomfort,friendly rela tion VI life free from open quarrel or secret heart-burningibutl speak of very marriage, without flaw or jar—a mating alike of the material, with its intangible affinities and its wondrons magnetism, and of Ihe imma terial principle within that survives the (jenth-change. I speak of a heart home >ervaded by harmony not only nnbroken, rat immutable as that of the spheres—felt to be so by those whom it blesses, calms, satisfies; a social state to which, when man and woman attain,there remains nothing in the way of earthly need or acquisition, ive daily bread, to be coveted or prayed for. Somo think that,in this trial-phase of onr existence,no such state of harmony and happiness is to be found. Among the few who do find it, none of these skeptics will have place. No entrance into that temple except for those who believe! Without faith in the Good and the Beautiful— the Good that is folt, not seen—the beautiful that must be conceived before it is realized man is shut out from the highest enjoy ment. And such a man can do little meliorate the work or elevate his Spiritual Facts. That whisky is the key by which many pin an entrance into onr prisons and alms- looses. That brandy brands the noses of all who cannot govern their appe tites. That wine causes many to take a winding way home. That punch is the cause of -many nn- iendly punches. That ale causes many ailings, while beer brings many to their bier. That champaigne is the cause of many real pains. That gin-slings have “slewed” more than tbe slings of old. That the reputation of being fond of cooktails is not a feather in any man’s cap.

Their visit here lasted three days, and has done a vast deal to pro mote good feeling among the sections.— They have receded great and continuous hospitality from the city government, the Board of Trade and citizens representing all shades of political opinion, from ultra-] ieal to extreme Copperhead. They, one and all, expressed themselves perfectly de lighted with what they have seen for them selves in their progress South. They are siuprised at the fertility of the Boil and the climate, and at the openings for industrial and manufacturing, as well as commercial and agricultural enterprises.

More About the Filubcsters.—The United States revenue cutter Nanscmond, steamed down the river on Sunday morn ing last trader secret orders, and may doubtless, go as far as Florida, but it is supposed that she will anchor off Tybee The secrecy with which the agea^ of the Cuban revolutionists in this city veil all their movement* has thus far been success ful in baffling detection, notwithstandinS the vigilance exercised by the Spanish Con sul and his employees. The sudden depart ure of the cutter was remarkable—in fact, Captain Baker is untiring in earring out his instructions; but while the communica tion remains open between Savannah and Jacksonville, ia, men and material may be carried to the “Land of Flowers,” and we would not be surprised to learn of the departure of an expedition to Cuba from some portion of the Florida coast at any mo ment. Tbe success of ths Harry Berdon has .mboldened the sympathisers with the revolutionist So far, however as any at tempt to prevent the work which is now joing on in Savannah, in aid ofthe parties, s concerned, we hazard nothing in saying' that it wonld be futile.

NOBLE SENTIMENTS. 41 A Medical Professor recently concluded an address to his graduating class as fol lows: “It has often been remarked that the physician, above all other men, should be a gentlemen and a man of honor. I avow myself as of those who hold in profound reverence the grandold name of gentlemen, whether it represents the chivalrous knight of the ancient legends—the, Bayard'with out fear and without reproach—or the mad man of Cervantes, the peerless Don Quixote; the hero of Thackeray’s charming fiction, the dear old Col . Newcomc; the bright itical picture of noble .King Arthur, as •wn by Tennyson; or the glorious stat uesque model of history, Sir Phillip Sidney; and I regard honor as the bright, fra grant flower of morality aud virtue.—dur profession is one of the highest aud most sacred trusts; which to violate must entail nil the penalities of the basest treachery Onr relations with onr clients, and especial ly with woman, are inexpresibly confiden tial and delicate, and afford opportunities which should never be disregarded, of sus taining the feeble and protecting those who need sympathy and help—whose ‘faces wo should not permit the winds of Heaven to visit too roughly/ Depend upon it that in proportion as you fulfill such duties in the domestic circles where you are received as guardian and guide, will he your future success. I am proud to say that a large part of the purest happiness I have enjoy ed in my checkered course has resulted from my professional relations with women, and the close and valuable friendships or' iginating therein. It is to them that we must look for tenderness, gratitude and fi delity. “Woman’s soft hand my early cradle spread, Her gentle care bedecked my .bridal bed By Woman let my dying hours be nurst, Her love the last fond solace, as the first.” Suicide in a Carriage.—George Dut ton, a well known New Yorkstoek broker, shot himself while riding in a carriage oa Broadway, on Saturday.
