THE BEAR WOMAN. Miss Julia Pastiiana, the Bear Woman, will visit Madison next week, and lie on exhibition at the Town Ball for two days. We liavo seen several favorable notices of this nondescript in our exchanges, hut we know nothing of her from personal knowledge. It is our opinion tlint it smells very strongly of humbug. GEORGIA MILITARY IFSTITUTE. IVe learn from the Federal Union that Gov. Johnson has appointed the following gentlemen ns a Board of Visitors to the Georgia Military Institute, at the next annual examination: Col. Wm. S. Rockwell, Capt. John IV. Anderson, 001. John Millodge, Gen. Geo. R. Jessup, Onpt. Peyton H. Colquitt, Capt. Capt. Benjamin F. Ross, Capt. John I’. Screvin, 001. Hardy Strioklaml, Col. A. A. Franklin Hill, and Capt. Tlios. Harde man. PEACE PROSPECTS. Wo begin, says the Charleston Mercury , to believe in the probability of pence,— tlint is, a sort of pence that will deliver Turkey over to the protection, keeping, and, probably, military occupation, of the Christian Powers. The independence of the Ottoman Empire is forever gone. The reign of the Osmnnli is ended. Who is to derive the greatest benefit from it, remains to ho seen. But it is manifest, from the general tone of the British press, that they do not expect to draw the first prize in the lottery of peace—no more than they have drawn in the lottery of war. They contemplete poaco on the basis of the pre sent negotiations, with alarm and repug nance. This will be seen by a very pointed article of the London Herald , which we copy, and which, not without reason, in sists that a peace thus patched up, enu be little better than the prelude to auother general disturbance. ANOTHER INDIAN MASSACRE IN FLORIDA. A correspondent of the Charleston Cour ier, writing from Fort Myers, on the 26th ult., gives the following account of another Indian Massacre in Florida: “ We have to record another massacre by the Indians. A Mr. Hudson, a resident of this jiost, accompanied by his negro, Sam, left here some fifteen days ago for the oyster honks, in Charlotte harbor, with the intention of gathering a load of oysters for this place. Their protracted stay excited suspicion that some accident had befallen them, and consequently on - Sunday last, Capt. dispatched an armed party in search of them. They proceeded to the banks, and found their vessel, a schooner, of twenty tons burden, dismantled of her sails, and the dead bodies of Hudson and his negro on the deck, hor ribly mutilated', near by, another boat, burnt to the water’s edge, was discovered, and on 6hore the body of an oysterman named Martin, was discovered iu the same condition of the other two. “ The Tampa Peninsular reports that William Roberts, a man for many years In the employ of Henry Brown, who re sides on Pine Key, has been missing for three or four weeks. The circumstances are these: “ Brown, about a week since, went to in liiiiii Him Key West, leaving Roberts and another man, whose name is not known, in charge of his place. Shortly after his departure, Roberts went to a neighboring key to have a hunt of a few hour's duration. He has not since been, heard of, and the prob abilities are, that he has fallen a victim to the remorseless enemy. “The volunteers have taken the field, but as yet have accomplished nothing. “ The country is inundated with water, which prevents the regular United States troops from taking the field In fact, the number Jicre is totally insufficient to even keep possession of the posts already es tablished.” [communicated.] DR. SMOLLETT ON METHODISM ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. In Writing the History of England, Smollett tiins notices “the progress of religious fanaticism “In the reign of George 11., many thousands in the lower ranks of life were infected with this species of enthusiasm, by the unwearied endeavors of a few ob scuro preachers—such as IVhitfield and the two Wesleys—who propagated their doctrines to the most remoto corners of the British dominions, and found means to lay the whole kingdom under contribu tion.” Historical philosophy will not do to rely upon. If Dr. Smollett had lived fifty years longer, lie would have used very different language; und if a hundred (which is just about the time that has ex pired since he wrote his history), he would have seen the disciples and followers of these “enthusiasts” numbering millions— his high church notions lowered, and these “lower ranks” enjoying privileges gained by the great diffusion of Gospel light, which would never havo been spread abroad, hut for these Godly men—Whit field and the two Wesleys. Their doc trines have acted upon the people of the earth, not only witli hope of eternal sal vation, hut they have stayed the ruthless hand of destruction both upon govern ment and the social interests of humanity. R. Savannah and the Main Trunk Road. The characteristic energy and forecast of Savannah, arc indicated in the prompt ness displayed in following up the ad vantages offered her by the Atlantic and Gulf railroad act. We see it stated that on the sth inst., tbo Directors of the Savannah, Albany and Gulf liaiiroad Company resolved to put their entire line of road to the point of junction witli the “ main trunk,” under contract. This lino will bo about eighty miles long, and will boa puroly Savanuah enterprise. It is not to bo doubled that our enter prising sister of tlio seaboard will accom plish the work with all speed, but tiiat by her example, if not by material aid she will stimulate those on the line to the rapid completion of the great Atlan tic and Gulf road. Funds sufficient, or nearly so, nro already subscribed for tbo construction of this eighty miles of road. Let Brunswick now look well toher own interests in this matter, or she will be outstripped in the race for a connection with the main trunk. Though Savannah has double tbo distance to traverse, the likelihood is she will first reach tlio point of junction; and if sho doos, farwell, at least for a long soason, to the brilliant hopes of Brunswick, of achieving com mercial rivalry with Savannah. Trade once formed, and commercial relations firmly established between Savannah and the counties of southern and south-west Georgia, Brunswick will afterwards find it a heavy and weary task to divert the stream to herself. Though she were to start now in the race, so far as having her railroad com pleted, and with her conceded advantage of harbor, she has yet an enterprising city, witli large capital, and established commercial connections with all parts of the world, as a rival. A race of com mercial rivalry against such a competitor will be under disadvantages that will re quire many weary years to overcome; and, if overcome at nil, this will not be until after many sad disappointments and heavy sacrifices of time and many blight hopes. We do not speak thus from ill-will to Brunswick. On the contrary’, wo not only hope, but fully expect that she will one day become a flourishing city. Na ture seems to have pointed out that lo cality as the future seat of a great and flourishing commerco, if art and enter prise and the judicious application of capital second the decree. But wo speak of the difficulties in the way to cool tLe ardent imaginations of those who think Brunswick mustier se become a great commercial emporium, on the building of the contemplated railroad to tbe Chattahoochee, and that every man who owns a Brunswick city lot, or who shall go there and rent an office or store, and quietly wait for the flowing trade from the West, is bound to become rich. No thoughts of breakers and bank ruptcies, and bubble speculations disturb the fair picture that many futurecitizens of Brunswick are drawing. But they will find out that cities are not built like air c; sties. — Cons <(■ Rep. Railroad Enterprise. The following extract from Col. Gar neit’s report to tbe Virginia and Tennes see Railroad Company, shows tbe won derful progress of railroad enterprises in the South during the past few years: The close of the present year will find the vast system of Railroads con necting ours with tbe South and South west, progressing rapidly towards com pletion. Between this place and Atlan ta, in Georgia, the only gap will consist of about 40 miles of the Virginia and Tennessee road, all graded and ready to receive the rails, and 95 miles of the East Tennessee and Virginia road, a large portion of which is graded. Looking towards Memphis, there will be another gap of 80 miles in the Memphis and Charleston road which is now undir construction. It is now probably that one year—certainly less than two years —will see every link closed, and our lines to Atlanta and to Memphis com pleted. When this is dooe a locomo tive placed on the rails at Lynchburg, can visit Nashville, Mcmohis, New Or leans; Mobile, Savannah, or Charleston’ without leaving the rails. Thus will the tide-water of Virginia, at Richmond, Petersburg and Norfolk, be connected by Railroads of a uniform guage, with the entire Mississippi Valley, the whole Gulf coast and the Atlantic coast as far North as Charleston, present a net-work of allied roads unrivalled in the history of such enterprises. The Paris Press and the United States. The Paris Constitutionnel, in an ar ticleupon the difference between Eng land and the United States, signed by the principal editor, —tbo usual form, when it is wished to be understood that the publication has a semi-official char actor, —say 8: “If tlio United States arc determined to be warlike, they will find that not only England, but France also, will be opposed to them. The Cabinets of Flu rope can never view with iudiffefance the danger with which tlio American Government threatened the independ ence of the weak powers and the peace of ail the world. It is in vain for the United Stales to imagine that America belongs to them exclusively, and that Europe lias no business whatever to in termeddle in the affairs of the American Continent. Tlio doctrine proclaimed and accepted by some of hoi statesmen is utterly untenable. The affairs of America are the affairs of the whole world ; —of England, of France, of Spain, of Holland, —because they have botli commercial and political interests to de fend, numerous colonies to protect, a direct and indisputable right of inter ference, * * * * * * * “The Anglo-French alliance will sur vive the war in the Crimea. The United States ought to know this, and be more modest, or at least more moderate in their bearing towards England and the rest of Europe." Testimonial to Dr. Means. The Students at Oxford, on tbo retir ing of Dr. A. Means from the Presi deucy of Emory College, determined to afford him somo evidence of their affec tion and esteem for him as a man and Christian gentleman, and their high ap preciation of him as a Preceptor, procured as a fit testimonial an elegant Gold Watch, which was presented on the 20th Novemberjast, by R. W. Cars well, the representative of the Students. Mr. C. accompanied the presentation with a very handsome anti eulogistic speech, to which Dr. M. made an elo quent and appropriate response. Both of these speeches were received by usa few days since, with a request to publish; but the demand upon our columns at this time, of matter of more general interest, necessarily excludes them.— Chronicle <(• Sentinel. Married and Single.—How is it that girls can always tell a married man from a single one ! The fact is indis putable. The philosophy is beyond our ken. Blackwood says “ that the fact of matrimony or bachelorship is written so legibly in a man’s appearance, that no ingenuity can conceal it. Every where there is somo inexplicable instinct that tells us whether an individual (whose name, fortune and eircumstancee are totally unknown,) be or be not a mar ried man. Whether it is a certain sub. dued look, such as that which character izes lions in a menagerie, and distin guishes thorp from the lords of the desert, we cannot tell ; but that the truth is so, we positively affirm. A wag in Detroit has been taking liberties with tbe reputation of the Pon taic railroad. lie was asked whether he knew of an accident on that road, and replied—“ Never, but once ; a mid dle-aged gentleman left Pontiac for De troit, and died of old age at Birming ham, half way! ’ The Central American Ques tion. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier speaks fas follows of the position which Great Britain oc cupies towards Nicaragua : The course of tbe Nicaragua govern ment for the extension of its jurisdiction over the Mosquito Territory, gives rise to surmises of the probable interposition of Great Britain for its prevention. Re ferring to the treaty of 1849 between Nicaragua and Great Britain on tbe sub ject, I find that the treaty contains a stipulation that if Nicaragua should at tempt at any time “to exercise sover eigntv over any portion of the Mosquito Territory, or to retake San Juan del Norte, it should be consideied as ade claration of war against Great Britain.” It is also known here that the British Consul at San Juan has orders, in the event named, to enter his protest against the act, and to advise anv one command er of 11. B. M.’sships of war on the West India station of the same ; whereupon the attempt is to be prevented or resisted by force. Thus the extent and character of the British Mosquito Protectorate may soon be practically tested. And if the fleet on the West India station do interfere we may soon have our willingness and ability to enforce the Monroe doctrine “practically tested.” Horrible Death in Thomas County. The Thomasville Enterprise records the death of Mr. Daniel Kornega of that county. Mr. K. was engaged in ginning sea island cotton on a roller gin, when he was informed by a servant in attendance that the lint was on fire in tbe room below, where it was received from the gin. He immediately plunged into the lintroom through a small aper ture left for unclogging the mouth of the gin, for the purpose of extinguishing tlio fire, which had not yet caught in flames; but shocking to relate, his en trance into the room produced a cur rent of air which immediately fanned the fire into flame, and involved the whole in conflagration. Mr. K. attempting to escape, rushed to the door of the lint room, and called out for assistance ; but most unfortunately the door was fastened on the outside with a padlock, and the key at the time in his pocket. The un fortunate man was taken from the de vouring elements, a few hours after, near ly consumed—both arms and legs burn ed entirely off, and only a small portion of his body remained to be iuterred bv his weeping friends. The Crops. The New York Historical Society has furnished the following estimate of the crops of the United States, for the year 1865: Wheat, bushels, from 168,- 000,000 to . . 186,000,000 Indian Corn . . . 2,000,000,000 Oats .... 400,000,000 Rico .... 225,000,000 Rye, from 16,000,000 to 18,000,000 Barley .... 2,500,000 Potatoes . . . 115,000,000 Beans and Peas . . 9,000,000 Sugar, lbs. . . 545,000,000 Cotton, bales, from 3,000,- 000 to 3,500,000 Hay, tons . . . 15,000,000 It will be seen, said Mr. Osgood, that our crop of Indian corn, if we value it at but one half the present market price, amounts to more than all the gold from California, and that our wheat crop, at tbe most moderate estimate, is worth as much as all the gold in the country; while the moderate growth of oats, with all reasonable allowances, more than equals any two years’ produce of tbe California mines. The Czar Nicholas.—lt is said that tbe Paris Conference twill be carried on as though Nicholas still lived. The Al lies not having been officially informed of the death of Nicholas and the acces sion of Alexander, are supposed, diplo matically, to be ignorant of tbe change. And should a treaty of peace be signed, one of tbe first acts of the Russian Gov ernment will be, on resuming diplomatic intercourse with England, France and Turkey, to inform those governments that His Imperial Majesty, the Czar Nicholas, is no more, aud bis august son, Alexandor, reigns in his stead over all the Rnssias. People a’ Coming.— A German peasant, newly enlisted in the army, had scarcely arrived at the regiment, when he was sent with others upon a skir mishing party. Approaching a wood in which a party of the enemy were posted, who immediately fired upon the Ger mans, and while the musket balls were flyiag very thick, the honest peasant stepped out of the ranks, making a sign to the coming enemy to desist, at the same time bawled out: “ Why, what the d—l are you firing for; don’t you see there are people a’ coming!” NEWS ITEMS. The celebrated banking house of the Rothschilds loaned during tbe past year, $515,000,000, as follows:—England, $80,000,000; Turkey, $40,000,000; Sardinia, $10,000,000; Austria, $120,- 000,000; Russia, first loan, $130,000,- 000; Russia, second loan, $100,000,- 000; England, on exchequer bills, $35,- 000,000. Hoa Charles J. Jenkins, of Au gusta, has been elected, without opposi tion, to fill the seat in the Stale Senate vacated by the death of Hon. A. J. Miller. More than one hundred hands are now at work on the Georgia and Florida railroad, near Americos. We see it stated in a Florida paper that the Hon. A. E. Maxwell, tbe Rep resentative in Congress from that State, declines being a candidate for re-election. Ex-Governor Reeder, says tbe Washington Star, is understood to be the author of the majority report in the case of his contested election. Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Kil ler posesses virtue, which not alone re moves pain instantly, but regulates the stomach, gives strength, tone and vigor to the system. It is one of those medi cines which is worth more than gold. Sold by druggists generally throughout the United States and Canadas. A man named Miilican was killed, on Saturday last, near Ocala, Fla. The deed was perpetrated in the dark, and appears to havo been a cold-blooded mur der. A writer in the Federal Union suggests the Hon. Charles J. McDon ald as a suitable candidate, on the Dem ocratic ticket, for the Vice Presidency. Here are a few simple remedies for very prevalent disorders, which we have no hesitation in recommending as infal lible: For sea sickness—stay at home. For drunkenness—drink cold water. For health—take “Ayer’s Pills.” F'or accidents—keep out of danger. To make money—advertise in the Family Visitor. F’or Coughs and Colds—lake Cherry Pectoral. To keep out of jail—pay your debts. To be happy—subscribe for a news paper. To please all—mind your own business. To have a good conscience—“pay the piiu ter.” —At a meeting of tbe Board of Trustees of the Savannah Medical Col lege, held a few days since, Wra. B. Hodgson, Esqr., of this city, was unani mously elected a member of the Board to fill the vacancy occasioned by the lamented death [of the Hon. Jno. Mac phorsoff Berrien. —At a recent lecture at the Royal Institution, London, the fact was stated, that (lowers during the day gave out oxygen gas, which supports life, and that during the night they emitted carbonic acid gas, ooe of the most deleterious and poisonous gases known. The headaches, and other aches usually following balls, large parlies, &c., where it is now tbe fashion to display, and ladies bear with them large boquets, may be caused iu part by tbe gas emitted. The Mobile Register of the Bth inst. .says : A fugitive slave, now in Can ada, has written to his former master, in Bowling Green,in mostdespondingterms, lie winds up by begging him to send some little means, by which he can be kept from starving or freezing to death. A large and enthusiastic Fillmore and Donnelson ratification meeting, the Richmond papers say, was held in that city, on Wednesday evening. Francis P. Blair’s republican party in Maryland turns out to consist of three persons, and tbev say Blair exceeded at PiLlsburg tbe authority delegated to him Tbe Democratic party "of Pataula Circuit meet at Culhbert on the loth inst., to nominate candidates for Judge and Solicitor. Tbe British ship Morning Light, for Liverpool, cleared at with five thousand eight hundred and sixty nine bales of cotton, averaging a portion over five hundred and eleven pounds per bale. Fifty dollars, from the profits of the Bachelors Ball in Savannah, have been appropriated to the Clothing and Fuel Association of that city. Governor Chase, of Ohio, says that Senator Toombs’ speech, at Boston, de serves to be studied, because it is a clear and able statement of the doctrines of the party with which the Republicans will have to contend during the next Presidential campaign. The Central (Sparta) Georgian, says that pneumonia and influenza pre vailed to a considerable extent’ during February, in that locality. A bill has passed the Kentuoky Legislature prohibiting billiard-tables and ten-pin alleys in that Stato. Torture in India. Rumors having from time to time reached England, that the tax gatherers in British India were in the habit of put ting the natives to the most frightful torture, in order to extort from them the annual tax to which they are subjected, a committee was appointed by the House’ of Commons, to investigate the matier, chiefly through the pertinacity of Mr. Bright, M. P - for Manchester, who would not let the matter rest The Commis sioners have now published their report, which fully verifies the darkest suspi cions as to the fiendish cruelty practiced on the poverty-stricken Asiatics. The Edinburgh Review thus comments on the subject: The tortures which the commissioners find to have been employed, are of vari ous kinds and of different, degrees of severity. Some of them are so light as to amount to little more than a menace. Some are so severe as to cause not only extreme present pain, but permanent in juries, mutilation, and even, not unfre quently, death. Some of them exhibit an amount of diabolical ingenuity on the part of the torturer, and a degree of moral abasement and degradation in the victim, of which our western minds can hardly form a conception ; some, in fine, are so loathsome and indecent, and at the same time so excrutiating, that, al though they are set down nakedly in the Report, we must abstain from any spe cific allusion to their nature. The two most conormonTorms of tor ture appear to be the Kittee (in Teloo goo called Cheerata) and the Anundal which, in the same language, is called Ginaeri. The kitlee corresponds with the thumb screw of the European torturer. It is a wooden instrument somewhat like a lemon squeezer, between the plates of which the hands, the thighs (in woman also the breast,) the ears and other more sensitive parts of the body, are squeezed to the last point of endurance, often to fainting and even to permanent disable ment. In many places the kittee has been superseded by the more simple plan of violently compressing the hands under a flat board, on which a heavy pressure is laid, sometimes even leg the peon standing upon it ; or compelling the sufferer to interlace his fingers, and delivering him over to the iron gripe of the peon (or policemen,) who sometimes rub their hands with sand, in order to give them the firmer gripe. In other cases the fingers are bent back till the pain becomes unendurable. The anundal is a more purely eastern torture. It consists in tying the victim in a stooping or otherwise paiuful and unnatural position, generally with the head forcibly bent down to the feet, by a rope or efotb passed around the neck and under the toes. The posture, how ever, is varied at the caprice of the exe cutor. Sometimes the poor wretch is made to stand on one leg, the other be" ing forcibly tied up to his neck. Some times the arms and legs are curiously in terlaced, and the frame, thus violently distorted, is kept bound up for hours, in a condition little short of dislocation. Sometimes a heavy stone is laid upon the back, while thus bent; and it often happens that the poons amuse themselves by sitting astride upon the nnhappy suf ferer who is undergoing anundal. More than one of the witnesses depose to the infliction of this torture under the fierce Indian sun, upon a number of defaulters placed together in rows, for two, three, four, and even six hours; and this in the immediate vicinity of the cutcherry, or revenue office, and in the presence of the tahsildar, or native collector, of the assembled villagers. Will it be credited, for example, that it is not uncommon to apply to the most sensitive parts of the body (enclosed in a cloth or a cocoa-nut shell, or other similar receptacle), a biting insect or reptile, such as the pollah, or carpenter beetle, and to leave it to gnaw the flesh of the miserable sufferer? That by a further refinement of cruelty, meant to combine both pain and humiliation, the defaulters are sometimes tied by their hair to the tail of a donkey or a buffalo ? That they are occasionally hung up with the head downwards? And that it is an ordinary practice to put pepper or pow dered chillies into the eyes or the nostrils, and to apply these and similar irritating drugs in other ways too revolting to be even hinted at? Thus we find an unfortunate man, Nangun Chaloovun, subjected to the anundal, tortured with the kittee, and exposed to the burning sun during four hours, in order to compel payment of an illegal demand of ten annas (fifteen pence)! Another Ryot, named Singu riah, who refused to pay the sum of one rupee four annas (two shillings and six pence), had his bands tied behind his back and his head bound down to his feet with a coir rope, for tw-o hours. Nay, in the terrible case of Yencata chella Rajadlee, in which one of the parties actually died from the effects of the violence employed, the sum demand ed was but ten rupees ! ARRIVAL OF THE One Week Later. Halifax, March 12. —The steamer Arabia has arrived with Liverpool dates 'of the Ist. A quantity of cabin wreck was seen in lat. 40, 36 long. 49, 40, on Feb. 7tb, which may possibly have belonged to the Pacific. The Peace Conferences were progress ing favorably.

Sales of the week 9,500 bales. Peace Conferences. Three meetings of Conferences had been held at Paris. Although nothing was allowed to transpire, reports were generally favorable. An armistice had been announced,, to end in March, and not to affect the existing blockade. H was doubtfully reported that Russia con cedes the required limitations, but re fuses to give up the protectorate ove* the Greek Christians. It is generally believed that when Peace is concluded, a European Congress will meet to adjust the balance of power. The excitement relating to .the Amer ican difficulty had subsided. Mr. Bu chanan had dined with the Queen. The resignation of Omar Pasha had been accepted. Russia, the Allies, aud Sweden, continues active warlike prepar i ations. A dispatch received by Brown and Shipley at Liverpool, dated Glasgow, Feb. 27, says that the steamer Erl in burgh, from New York, passed on th« 7th inst, large quantities of broken ice, on which were seen pieces of cabinet furniture, five ornamented doors, with white or glass handles, a lady’s work box, and other articles pertaining to the cabin of a first class steamer. Latest. Alarming rumors have been circulated that Russia has raised objections which ! will break up the conference; but they are regardod as the mere reports of stock jobbers. New Hampshire Election. Concord, March 12. —The opposition have carried both branches of the Legis ; lature. There is no choice of Govern or by the people. Northern Settlers in the South. We are informed that some of our heavy business men are about removing to the Siati of Georgia, for the purposo of developing some fine natural advant ages peculiar to the locality there select ed. A fine climate and abundance of raw material for nearly every depart ment of manufactures, with great de mand for products of skillful labor, render the project feasible and attractive in a pecuniary view, while at the same timo it has a large moral bearing that should not be lost sight of. To build up a cen tral city by New England energy and enterprise will be no little achicvment. And this, we understand, is what the company proposes to do :—to establish a trading point around one of the finest water powers in the South, where will be manufactured to a large extent such goods as are wanted there, and are now brought from the North. A plain and simple course enough yet requiring skill, good management and good judgment to carry it properly lorward. Southern interest will be admitted to sufficient ex tent to win active aid from the locality around them, and to secure a wide sup port from those who might otherwise look upon the movement as a Northern invasion. Yet it is much lass likely to be deemed so than ’many here will sup pose. The inhabitants will welcome those who go among them as friends, until they show that their motive is not a friendly one. Good feeling between the different sections of our country will be strengthened by such a movement, and the bonds of union will be the strong er for every such enterprise. We trust it may have a large success.— Boston Courier. Cassius M. Clay Las failed, in * large amount, by an unlucky hog specu lation. COTTON MARKET. ” Friday Evening.
