Supreme Court*
The following deeision* hero boon mode by
the Supremo Court oinco our lost report:
Richard R«o, Casual Ejector, end Elbert Kee
tor, Tenant, Ac-, plalntfflk to error, re. Me
Doe, ex. deni., Joooph Smith, defendonU in
in error. From Superior Court of Cher oh ee
county.
The judgment of the Court below overruling
the motion lore now tried, reversed, end * n<tw
trial granted In the ground* following:
1 et, That Ik# Court erred in refualag, upon
motion of defendant’s counsel, after the evi
donee was all before the Court, to dismiss the
actfoo* far the reason, that it appeared
that it had been instituted and
proaeeuted solely at the instance and for the
benefit of tyckey A. Koith, who had not con
nected himself with the title of Joseph Smith,
the plaintifTs sole lessor, and had no authori
ty from said Smith to use his name in the ac
tion as lessor.
2d, In refusing to charge the Jury that, un
der this state of (acts, plaintiff could not re
cover, when requested so to charge by defend
ant’s counsel, and in charging the contrary
thereof.
Ervin and Lester for plaintiff*. Brown for
defendant*.
John Doe. ex. dens., Zaoariah Hesters, et al,
plaintiff* in error, vs. Richard Roe, Casual
Ejector, and Calvin Coats, Tenants, Ac., de
fendants in error. From Heard Superior
Court.
Adjudged that the judgment of the Court be
low, overruling the motion for a new trial, be
reversed, and a new trial granted, on At ground
that the Court erred in charging the Jury that,
unless plaintiff showed title in James Bell, he
could not recover; both Hesters and Bennett
Bell being concluded by their confession of
judgment in their former suit, from which
confession they had not appealed, as James
Bell did; and which former suit was relied up
on, in this case, to relieve it from the statute of
limitations, this Court holding, that where one
only of three parties, plaintiff or defendant,
appeals from a verdict of confession of judg-
inent, the other two are nevertheless parties to
the action until it is dismissed or final judg
ment rondered on it.
Mabry, Oliver and Burke for plaintiff in er
ror. Festherston for defendant.
Lamia Ralston, plaintiff in error, vs. John D.
Field, defendant in error. From Lumpkin

Submitting the Constitution.
The croakers urge that our Convention was
a body of usurpers, in that they ratified the
Constitution, without referring it to the people,
or to a new Convention; that they feared its
rejection, and ware determined to force it on ue
whether it wee agreeable or not. Theee grum
bling gentry say that oar revised 8tste Consti
tution has been graciously submitted, because
its rejection will not disturb their plan of fas
tening us on to the Southern Confederacy, no
lens volens. We see such remarks at these in a
few of our exchanges. They are most unjust,
and, in our opinion, are mado more from cap-
tiousneas and a desire to wrangle than any
thing else.
We stated yesterday, that no legislation of
any kind should be thrust upoa the people for
their approval or rsjoction, where it is known
to meet the popular will, and we say so now.
Tbo new provisions of the Confederate Co ns ti
tmice are such, and only suck, as have been
thoroughly discussed in our newspapers for the
last twelve years, and have everywhere been
approved of by nearly every man of all par
ties, during all that time.
The revision of our State Constitution was
altogether unexpected. Whether the people
wanted it essentially modified or revised was
not known. Seek e matter has not been discuss*
ed, and the alterations which were made by
the Convention nre new, in a great measure, to
the grest mess of the people of the Btate. It
was eminently proper that this work be sub
mitted. In this, the Convention acted wisely,
and showed every proper regard for the popu
lar will. If the alterations made in the old
Constitution by the Montgomery Congress had
been as much innovations, as were thoee of our
Stale Convention at Savannah—if the points
had been ee little discussed end understood by
tbs people, the Confederate Conetitution should
and would have been submitted to the people,
or a new Convention.
Ae It Is, there was no earthly neceeaity for ita
submission, tnd hence it was not done. There
wss a real necessity for the submission of the
revised Constitution of our 8tate—hence it was
done. In both esses, our Conventions acted pre
cisely right—just as statesmen and men of
good sense should have done.

seats.
Dr. Smith, of Grantville, presented a conrti-

Drs. T. J. Foster and J. A. McCann were elec

At 11 o’clock, Dr. A. Means proceeded to d

pared, well delivered and a very lesrned pro
duction. We hope to be able to lay before our
readers some outline of the address. Wet
say no more of it in this connection— hav
heard only s part of it.
Dr. J. P. Logan, from the Committee appoin-
ed to take into consideration our relations
the Ainerioan Medical Association, reported
the following, which waa unanimously adopt
ed:
The Committee to whom was referred the
subject of the relation which the “Medical As
sociation of Georgia” should hereafter hold to
the "American Medical Association,” begleave
to report—
That while this Association acknowledges n<
abatement of its seal for the advancing intolli
gence and success of the profession—to whose
interests it is devoted—and contemplates no
abandonment of the high code of ethics and
the conventional couitesies which havesoiong
governed and distinguished the ranks of regu
lar medicine; yet, the circumstances by which
we are sow surrounded, not only authorizes,
but requires the disruption of long existing ties
aa indispensable to the tnaintainance of har
monious action and the continued progress of
the great principles to whose destiny we are
pledged; therefore,
1. Resolved, In the opinion of your Commit
tee, the great political revolution which has
sundered the National ties that have bound u9
as a part of a Confederate Government of In
dependent States for three-fourths of a centu
ry, and spread deep disaffection far and wide
through the two sectional divisions of the late
“ Union,” constitute ample and sufficient cause
—such as will be sanctioned at the impartial
bar of the aoientific and professional world—
for the prompt sod entire disruption of the
bonds by which wa have been heretofore uni
ted to the American Medical Association, and
we hereby recommend that they be forthwith
dissolved.
2. Resolved, That whatever may be our griev
ances as a people—and we hereby declare them
to be deep, and in their results upon our action
abiding—we suffer them not to control us in
this decision, but declare it to be tha calm and
deliberate action of those who are desirous to
receive tHe highest moral and scientific results
contemplated by this Association.
3. Resolved, That we hold ourselves in read
iness, as the organized representatives of the
Medical Profession of the grest 8tste of Georgia,
to unite with our sister States of the Confeder
ate States of America in the formation of a new
professional organization for the 8outk, upon
the same broad and generous principles which
we have been ever disposed to honor and main
tain, and which shall still continue to meet
our warm approval and hearty concurrenoe.
*• 4. Resolved, That in sccordanee with the
foregoing preamble and resolutions, this Asso
ciation will be no longer represented in the
American Medical Association, and hereby de
clare its complete and final separation from that
body.
The Committee appointed to consider the
propriety of permanently locating the Associ
ation, reported, and, after discussion, it was
almost unanimously dscided to postpone the
consideration of the question for one year. It
will be definitely acted on at the next annual
meeting of the body.
Dr. Denuy introduced a resolution, requir
ing the Association to memorialize the Legisla
ture to establish e system of registration for
births, marriages and deaths throughout the
State, which was unanimously adopted. This
is an important move in the right direction,
and we hope it will be snccessfal. It is a great
desideratum in our public economy, which has
long been neglected.
A resolution was passed, appropriating $100,
to be distributed as prises at the next annuel
meeting, for the beet three orignel medical es
says, to be submitted at that time, in $50, $30
and $29 prises, according to the adjudged merit
of the essays.
The resolution for the publication of the very
learned and instructive annual address deliv.
ered by Dr. Menas, was aaanimouaiy passed.
The Doctor consented, and agreed to furnish a
copy for that purpose at an early day.
The Association then adjourned to meet sgsin
in Columbus one year hence.
Any information concerning this Associa
tion can be obtained by addressing Dr. A*G,
Thomas, ths Secretary, at this plaoe.

Alexander II. Stephens for President at

“ the tlgies require that patnolio men should

can rim shove party prejudices snd adminis
ter the government not at partisans,” it says;
“ Such a man is the Hon. Alexander H Ste

*A Charleston correspondent, of the ; Condition of the United mates Forces at
August! Dispatch says:
During alt last night troops were embarking
for tbs different posts, and Artillery wagons
were rumbling through our streets. The work
goes steadily but quietly on, and the rapid
passing of messengers, indicates that tbe
metiers are resobing tbe culminating point.
Among those who yesterday entered (be
serviee, I have to report tbe distinguished
names of Hon. Louis T. Wigfall and (he ven
erable Edmund Ruffin, the fotmer ns special
Aid to Gen. Beauregard, and the latter as a
privete in the Abbeville Infantry. 1 saw tbe
old geutleman yesterday, as he was hastening
to the boat, to embark for Morris' island, hie
long white locks floating in the wiud, and his
step si elastic as any of our young men Pure
ly, when old ago lakes the field, our yoUny
men should feel inspired to deeds of valor.—
May he live to behold ibo triuuipbaui success
of I he cause in which be so nobly enlisted
A Rifled Cannon reuohed here yesterday
from Liverpool—a present to the Stale—from
Chas. K Priolean, who, although absent iu a
foreign land, does not forget the place of his
nativity in her hour of used.
Would he vs no favorite* to satisfy for aid in el
evstlng him to the Presidency. No man in
these Con federate States at present enjoys more
of the confidence of the people than the gen
tleman we have named ; there is no man who
would reflect mors dignity on the Presidential
chair than would Mr. Stephens; because It Is
well known that he has no selfish ends to grat
ify. If he should be called to the Presidential
chair, it will be by the spontaneous voice of
the people—not by any seeking of his, for we
are aware that he prefers a qaiet retirement to
the shades of his own congenial home, and to
domestic pursuits sod pleasures.
“ But our nsw state of affairs requires the
services of all such men as Mr. Stephens; and
his patriotism in the past six months convinces
us that he will not refuse to serve the people,
in any capacity, whenever they call upon him.
Against him no reasonable objection can bo
urged ; and we do sincerely hope that ho may
be elected without opposition.”
Sunday School State Convention.
Tbe Savannah Sunday School Association
has issued a circular letter to the Superinten
dents of Sunday 8chools throughout the State,
inviting them to take immediate steps hi have
all tbe Schools in the State represented iu a

third day of May next. The Address before

“The place mentioned is central, and the
time commends itself to us from two consider
ations: 1st, Tho Georgia Methodist Conven
tion for Sunday Schools meets in Macon on the
1st of May. and some of the members have
suggested the 3d of May as tbe time of the
State Convention, and have promised toremaiu
ani attend it: 2d, The Annual Celebration of

The Contederate L-mn iu New York.
New York, April 11.—The Evening Dost
says that the Agents of (he Confederate States
were rebuffed in their efforts to get a part of
the Southern loan taken here.
[The “Post” is a fanatical nigger republi
can sheet, and will not tell the truth about-
anything concerning the South, when a lie is
convenient. This is the same paper that man
ufactured and circulated the falsehood, that
Lincoln, immediately upon hie inauguration,
had dispatohed secret agents to Europe to pre
vent England, France, Ac., from recognizing
the Confederate States Government; and that
the said agents had returned in high glee, after
having nucceeded entirely to Lincoln’s liking.

the imperial decree for (he emancipation of
the serfs, dated March 3:
The proprietorsof landed prop arty preserve
the right attached to tbe same.
The landed proprietors are, however, tocede
to the peaiAu’s for their permanent use the
dwellings with the ground, which will be als
lotted to them anew by law, in consideration
of the payment of dues. During (his siege of
things, which will form a transitory period,
the peasants are to bo designated “tributary
peasants.” The peasants me permitted by
law to purcha'C their dwellings and with the
consent of the landlords, the land also. The,
peasants will then become free landed propri

This new order of tbiugs is to be carried out

Al a called meeting of the City Council of

following proceedings took place :
Mr. Robinson explained the object of the
meeting—saying that several of our voluutecr
companies having loft the city, for the service
of the Confederate States, and many of the
members would, doubtless, leave families in a
destitute condition for whom something should
be done. He, therefore, offered the following
preamble aad resolution, which were unani
mously adopted :
Wurrkas, We have learned thAt among the
volunteers from our city who have been order
ed to Pensacola, there are a ournber of men
whose families would be left in destitute cir-
oumstanoes, therefore be it

With these data before us, it is not an ex
travngant estimate that the Cotton ciop of the
eight Scutes, during ihe next teu years,
increase 40 per cent. Rut when is added to
this consideration that in the event of the
border States standing aloof from tbe South,
an increasing emigration hither of the
the citizens ot those S<atss, with their famil
ies of slaves, is sure to take place, wo may
safely disregard the 4.] per cent, of the crop
which is produced in those States, And base

We extract Ihe following from a letter writ
ten to board Ibo U. 8 frigate Babtoo, March
25ib, to Ihe New Fork Tlmea :
Captain Adams addressed d letter to Welles,
Secrotorv of the Treasury, last Taosday, aad
in it told that sUrvati&n stared us in tbe face,
and unless we beard from him or reeelved re
iief iu teu days from date, be would use his
own discretion about leaving (hie place. We
are all on half rations. We have plenty
of money, but of wbar use is that to us now?
Thrte duyH ago we transferred from the
Brooklyn to this ship eighty two troops, and
sent her to Key West and Havana for sup
pli«.
We expect her bsck io a few days. Ia tbe
meantime they may attack Fort Piokens. and
we have got to wade through about 3,000 bay •
onotH to reinforce the Fort, with musket bat
teries playtng on us from all quarters, In con
juuction with McRae and Barrancas. It is
nota pieaeent picture to took spool You
must know there is an armistice in existence
between Bragg and Adams. Bragg will not
attack Pickens unless we attempt to reinforce
it.
We see troops going io nearly arerr day
from New Orleans, Mobile and other places,
and can see them at work erecting sand bag
batteries. Sic., and here we are coopfld up like
a lot of chickens, waiting for the Administra
tion to do something. They have negleoted
us shamefully at Washington. They do not send
us Anything to.eat, and yet expect a ship like
ours which haa been out over her time, with a
broken down, worn out crew, and an old tub
like tbe St. Louis, to do all their fighting in
Southern wafer*, «;hile vessels not three
months in commission are rolling in clover off
New York Battery. Everybody io our ship is
disheartened, and no wonder. You do not
know one tenth part of what we have suffered
lately. They say the darkest hour of the
night is just before the break of tbe day ; it

Ad vet User,
Infallmii.e Ccuf. foe Iocthachr.—Among
the many diseases that humanity is heir to,
there are scarcely any which in violent pain
and aoute suffering, rival the toothache. And
yet, as far as we are able to judge, though the
•ffeotiou io oommon to all, but a few are swart
of the fact, that other remedies exist besides
the extrsetion of the tooth, whioh if only tri
ed, will be found infallible. The following,
for instance, suggested to us by a friend, will,
if his experience and veracity are worth any
thing, prove invaluable in the (relief of this
tormont : Take equal quantities of alum and
common salt, pulverize and mix them, and ap
ply them (o the hollow tooth on a wet pieoe of
cotton. The remedy i* very simple, very
cheap, and within the reach of all. If any
oue will try it he will find it infallible.—Pe
tersburg Express.

tweuty of the rank and tile of the army left

since they have been stationed there by Qea.
