They are as follows: In the ease of Wood vs. the Ctosa 1 Chattoo ga River Railroad Company, Messrs.

In thecas* ef Jehe Rillett vs. the State of Georgia, Glenn for plaintiff, Johnson for de fendant. Wm. A. Nisbet et. Wei. J.

John Doe, ex. deni., Thomas W. McGee, et at, plaintiffs in error, vs. Richard Roe, Cas'l Ejector, and Wm. Guthery, etal, Tenant*: From Walker Superior Court. Decision of the Superior Court reversed, upon the ground that the Court erred— 1st, In admitting the bond from Henry H. McGhee to Hardy C. Tatom, and the receipt from Hardy C. Tatom to McGhee, to be read in evidence to the Jury, without proof of the execution of said papers. 2J, The charge ae to what constitutes s stat utory title was too indefinite and uncertain.— The Court should rather have charged: that if Stansell went into the possession of the lot of land in controversy under the bonds of Aster, and be, together with defendants thus holding under him, remained in the actual, open and notorious possession of the lot continuously and uninterruptedly and adversely, for the space of seven years previously to the com mencement of this suit, then plaintiff* cannot recover. 3d, In charging the Jury, " that if Tatom did pay for the land at tbe time, (9th January, 1851,) And took McGhee's bond for titles, ibis would constitute a legal title, and would pro tect these defendants againsta recovery in this caso, even though they do not hold under Ta- lom. It will be sufficient, if the titlo was in plaintiff at the commencement of this suit— Henry H. McGhee sold to 9th of January, 1851. The papers show that he did not get the deed from Dorcas McGhee until afterwards—say 10th of January, 1855; but when Dorcas McGhee made the deed to II. II. McGhee, if 11. II. Mc Ghee had sold it to Tutorn aud received pay for it, the title thus conveyed euured to the beno fit of Tatom, and, in law, passed the title to Tutom; and, under this view of the case, H. II. McGhee would have no title to convey to Hancock, or any one else, but Tatcm. "If, however, you arc not satisfied, from the evidence, that Tatom paid for the land, then defendants would not be protected under Ta tom's title. "If, however, he did pay for it, defendants would be protected by this title—defendants being in adverse possession at the time Han cock received his deed from McGhee, that deed as against defendants i« void, and, therefore, no question arises as to whether Hancock had notice of Tatoni’s title or not, no recovery can be had, as admitted by Hancock’s counsel.” If it be true that the deed from Henry Mc Ghee to Hancock was void, because mad* ad versely to the possession, then it is equally true that tbe deed from Dorcas McGhee to Henry II. McGhee wss also void for the samo reason, as that was likewise made adversely to the poseesaion, and hence no title could havepaas- ed to Tatom from such deed, whether the prin ciple* announced by the Court below on this subject are true or not; and, in this view, tbe plaintiff could have fallen back on the demise from Dorcas McGhee. Underwood, Shropshire and Dabney fur plaintiffs in error. McConnell for defendants in error. ISrec kill ridge aud Douglas. These two distinguished gentlemen are now working manfully, shoulder to shoulder, upon a question that ia of vital importance and par amount to all others, to both the people of the Confederate States and the United States.— They both oppose any attempt at coeroion by the United State* Government; favor the im mediate withdrawal of the Federal forces from all the Forts in the 8onth, and a prompt recog nition of oar nationality by the Government at Washington. It is pleasant to find these states men, who were lately so widely separated upon matters pertaining to governmental policy, now cordially united and occupying such patriotic ground. They both had their ardent friends and seslous opponents among us during the canvass last summer; but these issues, we re- joiee to say, are among the thiogs that art past aud forever gone. Most of our people now, unite cheerfully in their admiration of the course of theta gifted statesmen at the present time. This Is as it should be, for, in our opin- ion, they both deserve well at our hands. They are entitled to and should receive our grat itude. It is not our province to say which of them was right or wrong during the canvas*. If it ware, wa should not be able ta give tbe people ’ a satisfactory decision on this point, or one that would do any good if correctly given. What concerns us now, is, that in our judgment, they are both right at present, and are using their great powers and vast influence for the bast interest# of bath sections. This is the pleasing feature of the question, which it gives us de li ght tc record. We are aware that a few persons—though they are very few-have complaints now against both these men. Some oomplain of Breckin ridge because be has not yet come out boldly for immediate Secession by Kentatky. Seine complain of Douglas boo—ec ho interpreted Lincoln's Inaugural to be a peaoe document, nod so fonounced btmsclf In 4 speech. Wh think both these complaints are unjust to these men, and for the following reasons: If Mr. Breckinridge bad gooe warmly into an advo otry of immediate seoeesion, he would have engendered opposition to him in bis State that would have made secession more unpopular than It is. His course baa been tbe wisest and best for his State, whether she secede or not.— W* must recollect that though Kentucky is slaveholding State, there ere a great many si ti-slavery people living in it—amounting to a majority in some counties. This state of thiogs requires s different treatment from whataei ilar question among us would. We must not viewihe whole world from our own stand-point, but must consider them as they are. As Id the objection to Douglas which we have named, our opinion is, that the interpretation which he gave Lincoln’* inaugural, coupled with tbe facta that he fully demonstrated, that no power existed to use any forcible measures towards the seceded 8tatea, unless Congress should first clothe the Executive with such power; and that he demanded of the Black to know if his interpretation wss not correct, and uot one of them dared to dispute a sylla ble of it,—we say our opinion is that this has done more to show the people of the Horth the folly of tryiDg to keep us chained to then car, whether we will or not, and has been mon potent in reconciling them to a separation than anything that baa taken place. If wai and bloodshed be finally avoided, Douglas, more than any other man, will be entitled to the credit of it. If it should come, it will be less fierce, and end sooner, than it would oth erwise. Whatever of praise or censure may justly have attached to either or both of these i before the secession of the Gulf States, we think there should be but one opinion of them among the people of our Confederacy, and that the most favorable. South Carolina Convention. On the 27th instant, the second day of tbe session of the South Carolina Convention at Charleston, the proprit ty of considering the Permanent Constitution in secret or open ses sion, was sharply discussed by many able men in that body. There appears to be a consider able number in the body who are opposed to the ratification. Most of those who oppose the ratification, want the matter discussed in open session. They want tbe matter scattered far and wide before the people, with all the odium they can attach to it, with a view of defeating its adoption. The objection that is made to it, may be fully comprehended from the follow ing. It is the key-note of opposition in tbe Palmetto State, to the Constitution, which has been so heartily indorsed by the Conventions and people of Georgia, Alabama, aud Louisi ana. Mr. Gregg said: " But this Montgomery scheme cunt mplates something more inau the admission of all the other slaveholding States in our Coufederacy. It contemplates the grand and magnifieent idea of contending against the Nortueasteru States for an alliauco with the Northwest— bringing in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and, final ly, into our Confederacy, Penney!vnuia, New York, aud at last, perhaps New England itself. That might have been merely conjecture But from so much of tbe proceedings as hove been made public, he found an asowal had recently been made by tho highest authority distinctly setting forth this idea.” He then read au extract from Mr. Stephens’ speech in Savannah, in which he said it was not beyond the range of possibility, that not only all tbe sUvebolding States, but the great States of the Northwest should gravitate to wards us, st some time in the future. Mr. Stephens’speech was published by us, and we have no doubt has been read by every one of our readers, and by every person in Georgia or elsewhere, under whose notice it boa fallen. It will be distinctly recollected by all, that Mr. Stephens did not advocate any thing like re construction, to which wo are all opposed, aud to which no one is more firmly opposed than Mr. Stephens; but he said if they did unite with us, it would be upon " re-organ isation and veto assimilation.” Mr. Stephens gave this as one of the "glimpses of thefuture.” This is the whole of it. There is a portion of the people of South Carolina, who are opposed to any union with non-tlaveholding SUtna—no matter upon what terms ; and the Constitution provides that Congress may admit new SUtes by a two-third vote. Now, we do not ec* any danger from this.— In the first place, no State can he admitted, that does not first adopt our Constitution. This instrument establishes, recognizes sod protects slavery wherever it extendi. We need have no fears to admit any people who will adopi a Constitution having euch provisions; but to ake assurance doubly sure, and protect us at every possible point, it provides that a two- third vote alone shall admit a State, even after it shall adopt our Constitution. We think this South Carolina objection is hypercritical ; though it is stated that the Constitution will be adopted by the Convention, by somo fifty or sixty msjority. Opposition to the provision of the Constitu tion under consideration, was carried so far, that Mr. Rhett submitted an ordinance calling for a State Convention, upon the admission of any non slaveholding State iuto the Coufeder acy. When notion is had thereon, we will lay It beforo our readers. Conviction for Murder. .it the Newton Superior Court, held this week —His Honor Judge Floyd presiding—W. J. Humphreys was tried for tlic killing of Thomas I.ce, in Conyers, in February last. On yester day a verdict of guilty wu« rendered by the Jury, and he was scutcuced to be hung on the fourth of May next. Solicitor General Hammond ami Col. W. W. Clark, conducted the prosecution; aud the pris oner was defended by W. Woodson, S. W. Gloss and R. G. Harper, of the Covington Bar, ami the Hon. Aug. Reese, of J/adlson. t-iT The Marietta Advocate says : e trial of Thompson Afoore, chnrgr*d with the murder of Abraham Hilton, occupied nearly the whole of Tuesday and Wcdueaday. The Jury brought iu last night between nine and ten o’clock, t ver dict of Not Guilty. Au Interesting Dog Fight Took place in Brooklyn a few days ago, be tween English Bi‘s«, of Liverpool.epd Rosie,of Brooklyn, (or $250 • side. Over one thousand periooe paid an admission fee of fifty gonte, to witness the fight. It was a noticeable feature of the audience, that those who backed th« English and American champions in this fight, kept separate from each other, by ooeupying different sides of the house -just like the Dem ocrat* and Altolitioniids in the U. S. House of Representatives. Both tip* dugs ware carefully washed, and then tasted. This \s done by ap plying the tongue to the d<’g, to ere if any per nicious drug Lea teen put upon the dog. with which to puiton the antagonist. The fight lasted thirty one minutes, during which Oev- eral rounds were f..light, and the dogs well spunged between each- ruund. Bum was the winner. Jb-sie sunk down so nearly dead that she is not expected to recover. The account of the fight, which we find iu a New York paper, concludes as follows: " In such a combat, if the dogs alone be con sidered, there is none of that repulsivenees which isgenerally supposed to accompany dog fighting. The dogs fight quietly, scientifically, and evidently love their work. Of tbe men who miakc dog fighting a livlihood, however, or of those who habitually eucourage, attend, and support such exhibitions, there can he but one opinion, and that not the most favoruble. The class of men who get up and attend these fights Mre sufficiently and justly under the ban of public approbium already, and to that we leave them. Of the two, wo consider the dog the superior animal.” Virginia Census.

I Montgomery, Ala , March 27, 1861. f I To (he President and Directors of the Gmntlkmkh : U is well knnwu that (he Sus pension of Spocio Payment* by toe li-nnHof the Confederate Slates during the past.wintor, whh the result neither of Hpi-culution, nor of u de- sireof gain, but that it was a political Hct, done by the authority ot the Slate Governments, and that urgent public necessity justified the action of the public authorities aud of tbe Banks. The object intended by both, was tbe public g o«l Permit mo in further promotion of the same good, to r quest you now to modi- 1y that Su»per.*i. n. Congress has author zed the loan of fifty mil lions, to be taken up for the public defend — part of which is to bs ftTered on the 7th April. In the States of Louisiana, Mississippi. Texa , and tho lower part of Alabama, the Curreucy is cither Coin, or Bank Notes, redeemable in 0>in; while in Georgia, South Carolina, Florid.*, uud the upper part of Alabama, the Currency is in Bank Notes which are from " wm |e Three p r Mi beioW the value of :>in. It is obvious, therefore, under existing rcurmtitncet, that the Subscription to the oati cannot be paid in bank notes iu all the Confederate 8tatcs, without producing incqual- ty and confusion. The only means of making the Subscriptions equal, Is to require payment loin, or iu Currency at its value iu Coin.— And a* the former would be an impracticable condition, the Department has been compel.e.i to adopt tbe other alternative. You will readily perceive, however, that in all the States occu pied by your Currency, a serious obstacle will arise to individual subscriptions, from the idea that tbe Two or Three percent, difference be tween the value of Bank Notes and Coin, is a bum pH it 1 ..i. tho it.au. I would earnestly recommend to you a measure which will re move this obsterio. It is the immediate adop tion by you of h resolution that you will re deem in Specie, such of your notes as ntuy be ipaul in upon this Subscription. Such u reso lution will immediately raise these Notes to the value of Coin, and will disembarrass the entire Subscription. Itis true, that this amounts virtual return in part t3 Specie Payment, but it is made to advance a great public Inter est, and the cost ot providing specie for the entire Loan, would amount to less than $150,- 000, to be distributed amongst ail the Banks f the Southern Confederacy. But it will be far less than that to you, inasmuch as more than half the Loan will probably come from the Specie paying States, aud the real burden would not amount to more than Eighty Tbous- nd Dollars, equivalent to an abatement on k>ur Annual Dividends of about one-fourth of pe per cent, on your Banking Capital. The difficulty will be further UimlnLhed to you by tho feet that the Note* will be In the hands of the Governuicut, and will, of course, be used in such a wav ns to produce the wnialb est possible inconvenience to the Bank* which had thu* coine forward to the aid of the Govern ment. Coin will, iu fact, be wanted to a very pniull extent. .It home, the Bank Note currency will pay current demands; and exchange, for* ign and domestic, can be substituted for coin, ami will furnish a more convenient means of re mittance to pay demands upon the Government. Besides (hose, nuolher important relief to the demand for colli, will arise from tho issue ot Treasury Note*, which is to be made us soou as \ey can be prepared by this Department. And lastly, it may be urged that a preparation for a general resumption of Specie payment is always desirable, and that season or the year when crop* have nil been sold and when mils for money nr* loo* urgent, U the most appro* 1 >riots period for such preparation. I would, therefore, respectfully ask vour Im mediate attention to this subject, and the adop tion at your curliest convenience, of spell a res olution u» that above recommended.
