SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY *ouIhPtn IttnUimq J. MBJTLT HMtTM, Co-Edits*. ATLANTA. •SOBOUi SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1861. 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 Superior Court. Judgment affirmed. Martin, Irvin and Les ter for plaintiff in error. Hanaell for defend ant in error. Edward R. Carter, plaintiff in error, vs. John Knights, defendant in erroifHrover. From Merriwether Superior Court. Judgment affirmed. Hall and Hill for plain tiff. Warner and Adams for defendant. Freeman McClendon, plaintiff in error, v*. Kelly A Sallie, defendants in error. Assump sit from Meriwether Superior Court Judg ment affirmed. Hill, Adams and Knight for plaintiff in error. Hall for defendant 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. Mr* Fryer on the Seceeelen ef Virginia. Hon. Roger A.

On motion, it was admitted as au auxil iary society. Voluntary contributions were called for and Dr. V. H. Taliaferro presented a very elabo rate aid interesting report on Typhoid Fever. Dr. F. O. Dannelly presented a repoit on cases of Typhoid Fever, and one on snake bilea, with specimens of a plant which is an antidote for the bite of the Rattle Snake. Dr. J. O. Westmoreland, on the part of the Faculty, presented an invitation to the Associ ation to visit the Medfool College; and Dr. A. G. Thomas, on behalf of the Board, invited the body to visit the Atlanta Female Institute, which invitations were accepted. The Association then adjourned. Thursday Mosnizg 10, o’clock The Ameciation met according fco adjourn ment. / Dr. J. N. Coe, of Flat Rock, and W. C. Bran don, of Floyd county, appeared and took their seats. Dr. Smith, of Grantville, presented a conrti- bution of a very iatnrasting character. Dr. Schaffer exhibited to the Association sev eral valuable Surgical Instruments of his own invention. Drs. T. J. Foster and J. A. McCann were elec ted to membership in the Association. At 11 o’clock, Dr. A. Means proceeded to d liver the Annual Address, which wss well pre 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. | g#- The LaGrange “Reporter” urges the Alexander II. Stephens for President at tbA eMing election. After remarking that “ the tlgies require that patnolio men should beatthbhesd of our government—men who can rim shove party prejudices snd adminis ter the government not at partisans,” it says; “ Such a man is the Hon.

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 General Convention to meet At Macon on I third day of May next.

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 Emancipation ov this Serfs—The Jm perhl Per,re.—The following is a summary of 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 etors. This new order of tbiugs is to be carried out throughout the empire within two years, and until then iliu peasants remain in their former slate of dependeudeuce upou the landlords.

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.
