ttgpfouent to SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, FRIDAI, FEBRUARY 16. I860. The Savannah Daily Herald A Sad Can of Destitution and Suicide. A painful suicide of a mother and son took place on Thursday night in Paddington, England. A French gentleman—by his own account a nobleman—with his mother, took furnished apartments there some weeks •go, but though several visitors called upon them, it was manifest they were in great poverty, and they paid no rent. The landlady gave them notice to quit, out allowed them to remain all night. That morning it was found that they had both banged themselves, one at each end of the cornice-pole of the window, un der circumstances showing great deliberation. Both mother and son left letters behind them giving di rections how they wished their bodies to be treated, and stated that poverty drove them to suicide. On the table was found the following letter; “Mss. Connor: You are a Christian and a Catholic, therefore you will know how to fulfil the last prayci s of a dying woman, and that it 1b a holy duty. My bi- loved son and myself are juBt going to die; we ask from you to look over, that and see that our dress is not taken from us, and that my son’s false leg (the gentleman wore a cork leg) be not taken from him. I have prepared two pieces of bed sheets, and I wish us to be wrapped in them, all dressed. I also wish you to take care wc are placed in the same grave. My be. loved son has struggled against his enemies with a courage that a good conscience alone can give. We have suffered a great many humiliations and priva tions, and we have been consenting to bear such sufferings so long as our religious feelings would per mit us. God does know our thoughts and consciences. He will forgive us. We shall pray Him lbr you for what you saw not. Do by yourself what X ask from you; take care that it' is done. I thank you for your kindness to us in our misfortune, and I regret the trouble we are giving you now; but I wish to die here. I leave to you, like a reward, eight cards (pawnbrokers’ duplicates) of very good clothes. "They are in for £8; their value is indeed thirty guineas. I had not had the means to give something to the man who has rendered to us some service, and who in this last moment will have something to do. I leave him all the clothes of my son. I speak of what I give you, because I am persuaded that * * t * I do no. know; but I think our property in your house has been a security for our expenses up to this time. You may have the two hats of my son’s, but burn all which you consider should be thrown away. For a long time I have seen my son Buffering and slowly dying, God only knoweth all the torments of my soul. I pray you again to do all that. God will bless you. “A. Dr Calc we.” Close to the man’s body was the following letter: “ I should be obliged that the woman up-stairs ar range our bodies, and give her what she likes. There is other linen in the wardrobe, if wanted. Everything we have on is very old. I leave a great deal of our linen dirty. I leave eight coats and a lot of other clothes. My mother dear, asks that our faces be cov ered with linen. I leave 6s. We have suffered very much, and 1 trust, Mrs. Connor, you will do my mother’s requests. **F. De Calcwx.” Other letters went to show that the gentleman was thirty-five years of age, and his mother seventy yoars of ago. The Governor of Kentucky on the “ B«.- reau.” The Lexington oorrespondent of the Cincinnati Ga zette. under date of the 6 th, gives the following infor mation: “A few days ago Judge 8. 8. Goodloe, of the Ciiy Court, under the statute ot Kentucky, fined a negro for having a pistol in hia-ffissc-ssion. Mr. Pinkerton, agent of the Freedmeu’e Bureau, took the caai in hand and notified Judge Goodloe that all such statutes were no longer valid, and requested him to restore the negro his pistol and remit the fine. Judge Goodloe declined to do this, not recognizing any rule of proce dure in his court but that of the statutes of Kentucky. The matter was at this stage referred to Gov. Bram- lette, who in answer to Judge Goodloe says: “You take tbs correct view of your duty. You have no power to make, unmake or amend laws, but must ad minister them as they exist. This you and all other officers should do, regardles of the menaces of the agents of a bureau which has no legal existence in Kentucky. The powers assumed by super-official* and agents of overriding the agents and civil authori ties ol the State should be firmly met and resisted In every legal form. The whole negro population being now free, are by our laws, as they now exist, secured and protected in their rights of life, liberty and pro perty. The slave code has nothing td do with the free negro now, and never did have. I have every reason to believe that the present General Assembly will adopt suitable and wise provisions for the benefit of the fTeedmen. Whether they do or not, Mr. Pinker ton ought to know that it is not in your or his pro vince to make, amend or disregard existing laws. Mr. Pinkerton would better subserve the true interests of the negro and of the society and State in which he lives by locking up his bureau and losing the key, t tan by the course he seems bent on pursuing.” The G jvernor hss turned the whole matter over to the Leg islature.

D., Graduate of the College of Physician* arut Surgeons, Sew York; formerly Assistant Physician in the Blackwell's Island Hospitals. # A Broken Heart. The following interesting case of s literally broken heart was related by a late distinguished medical pro feasor of Philadelphia, to his class, while lecturing on diseases of the heart. It will be seen, on perusing it, that the expression "broken hearted," is not merely figurative: "In the early part of his career Dr. Mitchell accom panied, as suigeou, a packet t'.uit sullcd between Liver pool and one of our Ijoutheru porta. On the return voyage, soon after leaving Liverpool, while the doctor and the captain of the vessel, a weather beaten son of Neptune, but possessed of un;omuionly line filings ana strong impulses, were conversing in the latter's stateroom, the captain opened a large chest, and care fully took out a number of articles of various descrip tions, which he arranged upon a table. Dr. Mitchell, ' biirpriscd at the display of costly jewels, ornaments, <Uesses, and all the varied pliaraphcruali* of which ladies are naturally fond, inquired of the captain his object iu having made so many valuable purchases. "The Bailor, iu reply, said that for seven or eight yoars he had been devotedly attached to a lady, to whom he had several times made proposals of mar riage, but was as efteu rejected; that lier refusal to wed him, however, had only stimulated 1ms love to greater exertion; and that finally upon renewing his offer, declaring, in the ardency of his passion, that without her society, life was not worth living for, she consented to become his bride ui>on his return from his next voyage. •* lie was so overjoyed at the prospect of a marriage from which, in the warmth of nis feelings, he proba bly anticipated more hapxnneas than is usually allotted to mortals, that he spent all his ruudy money while in London for bridal gilts. After gazing ut th«m fondly for some time, and remarking on taem in turn, "I think this will please Annie," and "I am sure she will like that," he replaced them with the utmost care. " This ceremony he repeated every day during the voyage; and the doctor observed a tear glisten in his eye as he spoke of the pleasure he would have in pre senting them to his affianced bride. On reaching his destination, the captain arrayed himself with more thau usual precision, anrl disembarked as soon as pos sible to hasten to his love. As he was about to sup into the carriage awaiting him he was called aside by two gentlemen who desired to make a communication, the purport of which was that the lady had proved unfaithful to the trust reposed in her and had married another, with whom she had decamx.ed shortly Itcforc. Instantly the cap«ain was observed to put bis liana to his breast and ull heavily to the giouAid. He was taken up and conveyed to hi3 room on the vessel. Dr. M. waa immediately summoned, but before be readi ed the poor captain he was dead. A post nu/rteni ex amination revealed the cause of his unfortunate dis ease. His heart was found literally twain I The tre mendous propulsion of blood consequent upon such a violent nervous shock forced the powerful muscular tissue asunder, and life was &t an end. The heart u us t>roken." CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP Han produced n revolution in Medicine. What may seem almost incredible is, that many dis eases hitherto considered hopelessly incurable are fte quently cured in a few days or weeks; and w e cheer 1 ully invit e the investigations of the liberal minded and scientific to enree which have no parallel at the prea- bent day. Daring the past five years we have contended with obstacles and overcome opposition as herculean as were ever encountered by any reformers. RAPIDITY OF CURE. Some say, “Your cures are too quick," while others donbt their permanence, and think that diseases can only be cared by the “slow, recuperative process oi Nature.’’ This Is our reply: In health, the body, like a well- balanced scale, is in a state of equilibrium. Bat when, trout any cause, down goee one side of the scale, we have the effects of disease. What is requisite, is tore- store tlie normal balance of the scale.
