K trial of some interest was had in the
• v Court of Sessions at the last term of An
derson District, S. C. As it has been sup
posed that a public notice of some of the
incidents, might by possibility, lead to
further disclosures, you are at liberty to
use the following statement:
A Surgeon Dentist bearing the name
of'Aldis Brainard, was arrested during
the month of August last, in the Village
of Anderson, on a charge of Polygamy.
He was accompanied by an 'nucleating
young Lady to whom he hail been mar
ried a few days previously, in the Dis
trict of Edgefield. After various devices
to procure his discharge, both before the
committing Magistrates and his Honor
Judge Earl, on a Writ of Habeas Corpus,
he was nevertheless detained and receiv
ed his trial as before stated, which result
ed in his conviction. It appeared that
by means of a forged certificate of his
membership in a Church in the town of
Boonsboro,’ Maryland, he had procured
admission into a Church in Augusta, Ga.
which, together with his exterior us a
gentleman, procured him an introduction
to a highly respectable acquaintance. He
was skilful in his profession, and gave
external evidences of great piety ami de
votion to the cause of Religion. Profess
ing experience ns a Sunday School teach
er, he was appointed and acted as Assis
tant Superintendent of one of the Sunday
Schools in the city,—took a prominent
part in its management—delivered an ac
ceptable address on one of their Anniver
saries—participated in various social re
ligious meetings which were held, often
leading in the exercises on such occasions
-—sought and obtained the confidence of
one of his Sunday School pupils, the
youthful, artless, and interesting Lady of
great respectability in the city, to whom
ne was married the latter part of July
last. Circumstances which it is not ne
cessary to relate, led to an investigation
in the Church of his conduct, which
eventuated in his prompt expulsion. And
enquiry after him by name, and a descrip
tion ofhis person induced by his certifi
cate, led to the further disclosure, that
the certificate was a forgery: that (hu
same man, under the name of Charles
Berdcau, had been married in October, of
th* preceding year, to a Lady of respec
tability in that town, w ho was still living;
that he had left her temporarily on a visit
to the South on the business of his profes
sion: was in constant correspondence
with her during his stay in Augusta, over
the signature of Charles Henlcau, in
strains of great and devoted affection and
piety, during the very time in which he
was making suit to the young Lady whom
he afterwards married. In June, prepar
atory to (he celebration of his nuptials
under the. latter engagement in Augusta,
he left for New York, further to replen
ish his stock in (he way of teething outers,
leaving as Dr. Brainard, and is in a few
days after found in Boonsboro’, as Dr.
Berdcau, who had returned to acquaint
an anxious wife with the splendid pros
pects of wealth and comfort which were
in reserve for them in a beautiful and
pleasant Southern City ; that it was ne
cessary for him to go to Europe, howev
er, to lay in the necessary supplies in (he
prosecution of his business in a style suit
ed to his reputation and prospects. He
took his leave for Europe by (ho way «(
N. York, from which latter place he cm
barked for Charleston and Augusta, and
early consummated his engagement with
the hapless, and too confiding young La
dy who was awaiting Ids return.
By the indefatigable exertions of her
elder brother, (his impostor and consum
mate villain, lias been brought to justice
at a great expense to hiitiselfiiidividually,
and inconvenience to a gentleman who at
tended the trial of Brainard, and had been
present at his former marriage in .Mary
land. Brainard is now the solitary ten
ant of one of the dungeons in the jail of
Anderson. The punishment being fine
and imprisonment for tho first offence in
South Carolina, his honor Judge Rich
ardson, after a very impressive enumera
tion of the leading incidents in his case,
and solemn denunciation of the offence
and its consequences, sentenced him to
pay a fine of one thousand dollars, and be
imprisoned for two years.
He is no doubt the same man who was
advertised, some lime previous to (he
transactions above related, in the Wil
liamsport Chronicle, which I -send you
herewith. To the description which is
there given of him,& it is to the life, may
be added that he is rather stout, a slight
inclination to baldness in front, and a
somewhat remarkable flatness on the top
ofhis head.
Since his convirtion, he declines to fur
nish any information ofhis early life. In
Augusta he professed to have been origin
ally from Vermont.
The incidents of this man’s life are not
sought to be trumpeted now, with (he
view of unnecessary exposure, but be
cause they contain « moral which may he
of service to parents and daughters, and
in fact to a whole community who are
rather too confiding to strangers, before
they arc sufficiently known,or their char
acters sufficiently vouched.
Prom the H'illiams/iort (Pa.) Chronicle.
An Impudent Villain. —Some three or
four months since, a fellow calling him
self Dr. A. Brainard, arrived in our bor
ough, and announced himself a Surgeon
Dentist. He had by some ineans’procurcd
from a respectable physician in Bellefonte
a flattering testimonial of character both
private, and professional. By means of
lliis and the exercise of no ordinary cun
ning in assuming a religious character,
he obtained an introduction to quite a
Iscrstive practice. He evinced consid
erable skill in his professnn and after re
maining here for six or eight weeks, he
left this place for the neighboring towns,
and returned about two weeks since. Al
though hisconduct during his first visit
excited suspicion, it was never dreamed
that he was the abandoned, consummate
scoundrel that he has since proved him
self—He came back to us in a style eve
ry waylbefming a gentleman, having,by
his artifice, procured a horse anil gig that
in all probability he never intended pay
ing for.
While here the second time, after va
rious advances to other females, he suc
ceeded in decoying the daughter (an in
teresting girl about 15 years of age) of
one of our most respectable citizens with
whom he decamped in the absence of
her father.
Very fortunately, however, (he whole
matter was discovered before they had
proceeded far, and the Sheriff, accompa
nied by several of our citizens, immedi
ately pursued and arrested them at Jersey-
Shore (13 miles distant) from whence
they were brought back, the young lady
restored to her parents and the Doctor
made an inmate of our prison, where he
remained until the following morning
when he was liberated by the skilful
management of one of our “down east”
lawyers, in furnishing a fleet horse at
the jail door upon which Brainard was in
stantly mounted and left town amidst
the tolling of the Courthouse bell, and
the pipes and bootings of the incensed
populace—and saving himself from a coat
of tar and feathers which was in readiness
for him.
Since his liberation, a gentleman from
New Berlin (the real owner of the
rived here, and an officer is now in pur
suit of him a second time with a warrant.
As he will doubtless attempt to play oft'
his rascality elsewhere, we subjoin a ties
crintion of him. He is about 5 feet 7 inches
high, of good persona! appearance, dress
es well, and cuts considerable figure in
the way ol'cune—dark complexion, black
hair and eyes, prominent eyebrows and
his eyes set deep in his head—when he
walks he has a slight limp, so slight that
it is not perceptible except on close ob
servation—talks fluently, and his lan
guage occasionally bespeaks him a Yan
kee,alt hough he professes to be from Ohio.
From the Southern Recorder, 15/A inst.
Although wc have for some months
past, anticipated with great confidence,
the defeat ol Mr. Van Buren in Georgia,
yet we were not prepared, we confess,
iofc .the triumphant victory, which we
have just gained.—ln the recent elec
tion, Georgia has more than realized our
most sanguine hopes. NVe view it as the
perfect triumph of Southern principles,
and hall it as the harbinger of a continu
ous course of triumph for those politics
which we believe to he and ever to have
been identical with the feelings and in
terests of the South.
Wc have no taste and arc not in (he
habit of committing to paper upon every
unimportant success, rhapsodical extra
vagance, ns silly and disgusting ns it is
affected and unfelt by those who deal so
much in it, but on an occasion so impor
tant as we know the present to be, to
which the eyes of the whole South have
been directed with so much solicitude,
and pregnant as we conceive it to he with
such important effects for the future, we
should do injustice to our feelings were
we to repress our expression of sincere
and hearty congratulation to our friends
and the whole country, on tho auspicious
and triumphant result of the late election
in Georgia.
The “ Party” have lost their sway in
Georgia forever.
M e are much gratified to announce
the election of our candidate, Col. Daw
son, to till the vacancy in the present ses
sion of Congress, created by the demise
of (ten. Coffee. We arc the more grati
fi-yl at this result, from our knowledge
ol the fact, that Col. Dawson, from a high
feeling of independence, and a refined
sense of delicacy, had not the people ra
tified, by their present vote, their late
one, electing him to the next Congress,
would have fell himself compelled, from
a delicate self respect, to have resigned
his situation in the next delegation, al
though fairly and honestly and honora
bly entitled to his seat. Georgia would
thus have losLlhe ablest man of her whole
delegation. The present result has, how
ever, satisfactorily settled this point, and
we congratulate the State on the acquisi
tion ol tho talents and energy of Col.
Dawson in our national councils.
By the bye, we trust the present elec
tion will relieve our neighbor of tho Stan
dard of all its superfluous regret, at the
painful position of Col. Dawson, in the
October election. It has no ground for
the mock pathetic now. If, however, it
is unsatisfied with two fair beatings, we
will try to give it further consolation by
a third drubbing. And while on this
point, wc should be pleased to learn the
reason why the Governor has withheld
from the people the knowledge of Mr.
lo.vns's resignation, which, wc under*
stand, was made by letter to himself ü
bout the first of September ; and why
the people were not allowed to fill tin's
vacancy at the late election, without the
further trouble and loss of time of ano
ther? And withal, considering that
twenty days notice must be given, and
that at least twenty days more must be
required to receive the returns, it seems
, tons that under any circumstances, a
portion ol the session must be lost at
, least, with one of our representatives.
Wo enquire, respectfully, for further
information on this point in the name of
the constituents of both Mr. Towns and
the Governor himself.
hroin the Georgia Journal,
Several errors occurred in the publica
tion or Mr. Ring’s reply to the Monti
' cello Interrogatories. Justice to him
ami his argument on the Constitutional
■ power of Congress to Legislate on the
subject of slavery, requires us to repub
lish It in ,» corrected state. The tira-tt
mont of Mr. King is new and cogent* it
presents an original view of the subject
which has not hitherto been considered.
The following paragraph being the most
essential, and the one in which many er
rors occurred, we present by itself. * Pa
■ pers which have copied Mr. King’s let
i tor, will confer a favor by repuhlishiiw
f the correction. °
"The Abolitionists, and Martin Van
Huicn, claim the power for Congress to
abolish slavery in the District of Colum
bia, under (lie 16th clause of the Bth sec
tion of the Ist Article of the Constitution
of the United States. That clause de
clares that "Congress shall have power to
exercise exclusive legislation in all cases
whatsoever, over such district (not ex
ceeding ten miles square) ns §tsy bv ces
sion of particular Slates, and (lie accep
tance of Congress, become the seat of
government of the United States, and to
exorcise like authority over all places
purchased, by (he consent of the Legis
lature, of the State, in which the same
shall be, for the erection of forts, maga
zines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other
needful buildings;”
“Now this clause of the Constitution, so
far from giving to Congress, unlimited,
despotic power to legislate, gives in it
se/j, no power at all! But it says, Con
gress shall legislate in all rases whatso
ever in districts which inn;/ he ceded hv
particular Sluice. Th v power was to h

HR. ROBERTSON’S LECTURES.
It will be perceived by reference to the adver
tisement of Dr. F. M. Robertson, in this mor
ning s paper, that ho proposes to deliver a course
of Lectures, in this city, on the science of Phre
nology. We sincerely wish him success, and
have no doubt, from the interest of the subject,
his ability to do it justice, and the interest which
must be felt in patronizing such efforts among
our own citizens, that he will amply realize it.
Wo were among the number of those who at
tended Dr. R’s lectures last winter, and hesitate
not to assert that he was listened to with the
highest degree of attention and delight, by a high
ly respectable audience. These lectures will af
ford a very favorable opportunity to all who wish
to obtain correct information on on important
subject; and those who arc prejudiced against
the science, would do well lo attend, and not
condemn it, and its advocates, without knowing
any thing about it, as some arc very unjustly dis
posed to do. We sincerely believe, that no one,
after attending a course of lectures, and giving
the subject an impartial hearing, can conscien- '
tiously condemn Phrenology, as utterly false, and '
unworthy of notice. They must agree that ’
there is at least some truth in it ; and it affords ‘
us much plaasuro to express the opinion, that ’
Dr. Robertson is eminently qualified, by his stu- '
dy of the science, and his graceful, easy, and ‘
fluent delivery, for the task has undertaken. '

WRITING.
Mr. Goouwane, the writing master so favora
bly and justly mentioned below, in the article we
copy from the Constitutionalist, has concluded,
we understand, to remain two weeks longer in
Augusta ; and we take pleasure in calling the
attention of our citizens to his specimens, terms,
&c. at his rooms in the Masonic Hall. ,
if riling. 1 hose who wish to improve their
writing have now an excellent opportunity of do
ing so, by calling on Mr. Good wane, at the
Masonic Hall. 1 Ins gentleman has been in our
city hut a few days, and has at present a good
class. We spent some time yesterday at his
room, and examined numerous.specimens exhibits
ed us, some of which were by pupils since his
arrival m tins city, and although a majority of
them had taken but one or two lessons, the im
provements made were very visible. A plain hand
is so essential to the various concerns of life
from the keeping of books, to the writing of a love
letter—and especially to correspondents of news
papers—that wo think those who need improve
ment will not omit to embrace the opportunity
offered by this gentleman’s stay in our city, which
wo learn is limited to a few weeks.
THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.
There arc some subjects in this document which
we hope will command that serious attention of
the Legislature, which they so eminently deserve.
I hat in relation to the “defects of our militia sys
tem,” particularly, we hope will not he neglected;
and in addition to the appointment of an Adju
tant, and Assistant Adjutant General, as recom
mended, (which measure originated, we be
lieve, with a highly intelligent and zealous mili
tary officer, at the last session, Maj. Davis of El
her’,whose views on military subjects will be found
worthy the serious attention of the legislature,)
we will take the liberty of making some further
suggestions for its consideration, at an early lei
sure moment.
•As we expected, the committee appointed tot
contract for the erection of a house lor the Govcr
nir, have found the amount appropriated too
small. We hope a liberal policy will he mani
fested on this subject, and that a sum. will be ap
propriated sufficient to croct a house worthy of
the State, and its chief Executive officer. The
entire appropriation, for the house alone, should
be $30,000, at least. No State is better able to
erect a suitable residence for its Governor ; and
the object is a permanent one, and intimately con
nected with the character, honor, liberality, and
taste, of our people, in the eyes of thosr intelligent
travellers, who do much to establish the character
of a people abroad. The building should be a
correct model of modern architecture, to serve as
a mean of improving the taste and style of build
ing among our opulent citizens ; and therefore no
pains or expense should be spared in effecting an
object so important to the general character and
interest of the State.
The recommendation of a removal of the Ar
senal, which so disfigures the State House lot, is
a good one, and wo hope will be adopted, os al
so that in relation to the Eastern and Western
doors of the Capitol, and the “finishing touch,”
thus singularly described ; but we cannot ap
prove of the one in relation to contracting “ the
area of the present campus," unless, indeed,
merely so as to exclude the churches, and trust it
will bo no farther limited. The surrounding
space of such a building should bo as open, li
beral, free, and unconstrained as the proper char
acter of a Republican people and their institu
tions.
With regard to the “ fence,” the Governor is
right; the campus should be enclosed by a “ neat
and durable” one—an iron one—before it is im
proved, as contemplated by the Lcgislalu re.
The recommendation of an erection of a Lu
natic Asylum is more creditable, wo think, to the
humanity of the Governor, than to his judgment.
Tho cost of such a building, properly and per
manently constructed and furnished, would be
very great—that is, suitable to h more advanced
stage of our rapidly increasing population—and it
would bo bad policy, cither to erect a merely tem
porary one, unsuiled to future purposes, or one so
large and complete, in its dimensions and internal
arrangements, as would make the expenses of
our present very few lunatics unnecessarily
great. Our sister State of South Carolina, has an
institution of this kind, which is one of the lar
gest, and we presume one of tho most complete,
in the Union ; where all tho lunatics of our State
may find a suitable and sufficiently contiguous re
fuge—the indigent, at tho expense of our State;
for which, we trust provision will immediately bo
made—and the immense expense which Carolina
has incurred fdr the building, and tho dispropor
tionate expense still incurred, according to tho
number of inmates, renders it highly proper that
her truly noble and philanthropic entorprizc, and
magnificent edifice, should bo jiatronizcd, for the
present, no( only by our State, bat all the South
ern States. We believe it is amply endowed and
provided ; and its entire internal aspect, when wo
visited it, some time ago, was in the highest do.
gree creditable to its chief domestic superintend
ent, E. Harrison, Esq., whose intelligent, mild,
and humane, but firm and decided character, long
intimately known lo us, eminently qualify him
for so highly important and responsible a station.
His views of internal improvement are liberal,
and creditable to His Excellency, as arc also his
official efforts to promote it. His recommenda*
tion, also, of a geological survey e( the State,meets
our decided approbation, as we trust it will that
of the Legislature.
His notice of the Supreme Court, we trust will
meet all the attention it so eminently deserves,
and that the constitutional provision for that high
ly important and valuable institution, will no*
longer bo so disgracefully annulled.
His views of tho Surplus Revenue Act arojust
& proper. With him, we hope “Georgia will never
consent to give up her independence, and be sup
ported by the surplus revenue of the U. States,
She has ample resources of her own, and if she
had not, she could obtain money from her people,
who arc 100 proud to permit her to be tho benefi
ciary of tho Federal Government, which has no
means of supplying her wants, other than those
obtained from the people, by thocxcrcisc of a pow
er delegated for another purpose, but improperly
applied lo raise money to corrupt them.”—These
views, however, and the severe reflection con
tained in his application & translation of “Timeo
Danaos," Sic. ; together with the similar views
of his parly, generally, as lately expressed on the
same subject, come with rather a bad grace from
those who so violently assailed and opposed Car
olina, in her glorious efforts against tho Tariff—
particularly those who are or have been Tariff
men, as (he editor of the Federal Union, for in
stance, and a large portion of the same party. We
congratulate them, however, on their happy con
version ; and find that much as they are opposed
to the Nullificrs, they will not hesitate to ad
opt their 'principles and opinions whenever they
suit their purposes. The quotation, “We must
fear theje Greeks,” &c, would be rank “ treason”
