CHRONICLE & SENTINEL

Vxatrvivg.—A paragraph appeared in the
papers some weeks sines slating that -‘a
grand project was on foot at Naples” to ex'iQ
gnisb the fires of Vesuvius, by the introduction
of tbe waters of the neighboring sea upon t ho
flaming races, su'd to he some thousand feet
below the ocean level. This paragraph has at
tracted the attention of our representative at
the Neapolitan court and elicifed from him the
following imeresting letter addressed to the
editors of the National Intelligencer :
To render such a project feasible, there
should be some reason to believe that the fires
of Vesuvius aro concentrated within a contract
ad space. Geological speculation and natural
facts are at variance with such a theory. The
eruptiens always affsot tbe surrounding coon
tty to a distance of fifteen aud twenty miles-
The 3 olfsierra, the ancient Forum Vulcan*’
•eases to smoke—the thermal waters in lake
Agnano no longer bubble up to the
and every hotspring in the region of the Cam
pi Phlegrsi, sixteen miles from Vesuvius, is
agitated, or its vitality suspended, during the
convulsion. The wells diy up, and shocks
of earthquake, more or less vmlent , admonish
the population thirty miles distant that the vol
cano isin labor, and that an erupuon teat
These phenomena all indicate that Vesuvius
to only a vent for a vas. field of fire, aud min
eral combustion, spreading under the surface
of the earth to a great depth, and to an un
known extent. The twenty six extinct eraters
and tbe semi viaant Salfaterra and Monte Nuo
vo, in theCampi Phlegrsei, are proofs that the
aanh may seek other issues in this vicinity
for i:s raging fires than through Vesuvius.
Monts Nuevo, in 1538, after the succession
of twenty earthquakes in twenty four hours
rose amid smoke and tbe discharge of fiery
stones, on tbe shore of the Lucrine lake, in
forty eight hours to a height of four hundred
and forty feet; and there it remains to this day.
It is composed entirely of volcanic ashes, .co
ris, and lava stones, and it is ociy now, after
the ’apse of three centuries, beginning to
yield to cultivation. The heat of the earth
around its base, a circumference of a mile and
a half, denotes the near approach of hid -eo
fires to the surface, Naples lies upon an isth
mus, between tbe living Volcano of Vesuvius
and the slumbering and silent crateis around
the gulf of Bairn ; and I have no doubt but that
beneath the crust upon which the city rests is a
fiery flood connecting these two opposite vol
canic tracts.
It is the general opinion here that Naples
would be endangered were Vesuvius to be
come inactive It is the safety-valve of the
imprisoned steam and gases in the bowels of
the earth, which, deprived of this mode of
escape, would elsewhere explode with accu
mulated fury. Since A. D. 79, when, after
an unknown interval of slumber, it returned
to active life, wi fi the exception of the earth-
Suake and volcanic ireation of Monte Nuovo,
■e borders of Campania Felix have been
exempt from destructive subterranean con
vulsion. The silence of ancisnt writers
leaves us in the dark as to the length of this
period of lethargy. Strabo, thirty years before
the birth of Christ, supposes it to have once
been a volcano, from Us form and from the
matter around its summit; in his time iis slopes
were covered with ricbly-culiivated fields and
vineyards.
Tne feet, however, that the buried Herou
lameum rests upon a lava foundation, as the
superincumbent Resina does upon the sixty
foot separating strata of lava between it aud its
Roman predecessor, and that tho chariot-whiel
tracked streets of Pompeii are laid in the same
substance, tarnishes conclusive evidence that,
at a remote an i unrecorded epoch, Vesuvius
hai poured its burning streams over the plains
of Campania- It was probably during this
season of repose that the craters of Campi
Phlegrwi were in full blaze, and that the turf
hills which environ Naples were thrown up.
Since A. D. 79, when Herculaneum and
Pompeii were destroyed, forty-six eruptions
have occurred; at firs: at irregular and pro
longed intervals, bet within the two last cen
tunes rarely taking place more than ten years
•part, ft is problematical if Vesuvius has not
to a great degree compensated for its destruc
tive ravages by the increased productive pow
ers it has given to the soil. After eighty or a
hundred years, tbe country overrun by |»» a be

It is an error to suppose that jets of fire are
la be seen by night upon the p ak. When not
in eruption, its only sign of vitality is the smoke
rising m light wreaths in the dry summer air,
collecting into a balloon shape, and floating ofl
n the blue ether, as <f the genius of the infernal
regions wero issuing from the bowels of ths
«urtb on a voyage tn the supernal antipodes.
After heavy showers of rain in spring aud au
tnmn, or snow in winter, the smoke ascends
in black massy columns, enveloping tbe sum
mit in an impenetrable veil.
The last two eruptions have broken ont en the

I recently visited the spot where the lava of
1850 descended. In going and returning, I
travelled entirely aroun I the mount , in, passing
through one of the most fertile districts of
country I have seen. Tbe vegetation was
much more advanced and the atmosphere
warmer along the base than oat upon the plain.
In four hours we had made half the circuit and
arrived at the village qf Ottajauo; three-quar
ters of a mile beyond this point, after crossing
the lava of 1839, we came to that oi 1850 II

several miles in width, and some thirty feet in

seven miles from its source, furmiog a precipi
tous wall of rock. The beautilul grounds ol
the Prince of O.tajano, as well as bis Casino
were laid waste, and a churob and a small ham
let completely buried up. Strange to say,
such is the latent heat of lava, that a wisp of
straw, upon being placed in a crevice, was im

On Saturday last, the 19th, inat, es era vast

had the foreign plough trial. The Eogl sh
ploughs were tried in April last, before the

eoeharenta Although tremhiing under th ’

weight ot years and dieease, he had attended
carefully to the passing events connected with
the political condition of the country. Always
a warm friend of the Secretary of the Interior,
he had requested him, through a friend, to call
with the President at hie cottage in Weal View,
on their passage to tbe Springs. As might have
been expected, the request was courteously
complied with.
The ceremony took place while the feebleac.
aged man lay reclining on his bed
“ Mr. Fillmore.” said he, “ 1 am k « ,a ' e s. ul ‘°. r

The President bowed and pressed the hand
of the venerable Christian patriot. *My Reve

At his side stood the manly form of the
Secretary of the Interior, not without visible
emotions from the novel and aflec ing scene.

' CoarosiTias.—The steamer St. Ange, Capt. La
barge, arrived at St. Louis July 30 from the
Yellow stone, after a voyage of fity-two days.
1 Capt L. informs us that for ten years past he
- has, in every successive annual trip, observed a
remarkable lookin? solitary cedar tree standing
, upon a bleak and elevated point, about fifty
miles below tho mouth of the Yellow Stone.
Wmio eoumm Oown tins last trip, he saw ttlal
, his old acquaintance had fallen to the earth-
Curioeity led him to the spot, which was about
hall a mile from the river and perhaps 700 feet
r above its level, when he found, to his surpise,
that the whole tree was in the most perfect state
of petrifaction. Judging from tho shortness ot
the interval since he had seen it standing, it
must have been in that condition while standing
erect as it had grown. The trunk was about
thirty-six inches in diameter. A fragment from
it is now lying upon our table, and Is decidedly
the most perfect specimen of ligneous petrifac
tion we have ever seen.
Dr. Evans, 11. S. Geologist, who came as
passenger on the St. Ange found n r ar the same
spot the shoulder blade of a mastodon, pleasur
ing nearly 3| fee: across—also some enormous
foot bones of the same animal. Fossil shell,
the head of a snake, and other curiosities;
wero found by Dr. E. in the same locality.
Among the notabilities of the trip was the
catching of a beautiful specimen of the linnet
—a bird very lately seen—by some of the boat
hands. Its plumage is beautiful, and the melo
dy of its song it most charming.
Mr. Berthold, who also came on the boat,

mammoth mountain sheep of the Yellowstone

Wx havo received from Andrew J Mil- '
lbr Esq., the subjoined authentic report of this
celebrated cave, which we publish for the bet
ter information of our readers, as well as all
those persons in Georgia who have bean im
posed upon by the report copied froaa the
Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, which his been so
industriously circulated through tho S'ate by
the disunion organs aud their allies. We havo
already expressed the opinion that the review
of tho Richmond Enquirer was not entitled to
credit, and the reader will be able to judge
how fully that opinion is sustained after read
ing the following repor , which is ecpisd from
pa?es 495 to 502 inclusive, of a forthcoming
volume of “ Reports of Select Law and Equi
ty cases,” decided in the courts of Philadel
phia. This, therefore, is no newspaper report
of the care, made up for political effect in tho '
South, but is an authentic Law Report, de I
signed to elucidate 'he princio’es of law ad- ,
judlca'ed; and like all such reports is a fair j
and impartial history of the case.
The reader will perceive that "the abduction
of the child was—without any form of law be
ing observed for the arrest »f the mother nr the
child," and “ that there was no legal proof that
the woman was n slave, or that Mitchel was the
owner, or that Albrti had any power of Attor
ney or authority to arrest and remove the
woman.’’
Mr. Miller’s friends, Law Book sillers and
Publishers in Philadelphia, who sent him the
pages containing the Report, say of Judg>
Parsobs’, that * He hashanesty if notability:
none who know him doubt hx uprightness and
virtue, and few public men equal him.
It may not bo improper to add that the Re
view of the -ase published by the disunion
organs of Georgia, is without name »r authority,
was got up with a view to obtain a par -ton for
Alberti and Price, as wo are informed, and
was “so grossly unfair in its narrative” that
the counsel engaged against Alberti, refused
to attest its truth. It is circula ed in Georgia
as a faithful report and attempted to be intro
duced into the political canvass with a view to
mark party capital.
Vetere of Georgia, you now have the facts
of thia earn in an authentic foraa ; read and di
gest them, and mete out to those who have thus
attempted to deceive you, lbs measure of
your just indignation.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs. AlbsrU et al.
The right of ho’ding cegtoes in slavery is ona of tho
principles of oar government, and recognised by
tbe Constitution of the United Statas.
The master can take bis slave when he has abscon
ded, in any Stale ot the Uaioa He must do it
peaceably, uud use no more violence than is ne
cessary to accomplish bis object. He can send a
duly authorised agent to act for him in the recov
ery of bis slave. Ha can have him removed under
tlie Act ol Congress, bv an application to a judge
of the United States Court, or to a comaiiseieMr
appointed by the said Court.
'Hirth in Pennsylvania gives freedom to the child es a
sieve, who bee absconded from another Slate be
fore she became pregnant.
To justify the removal of a negro from the State of
Pennsylvania, to make him a slave for life or years,
it must first be proved that be ia a slave. With at
such proof II Che deaiga was to sell him into ban
dag(hose who ceased his removal are guilty of
a misdemeanor. If it is proved that the mother
woe a slave, and she was not pregnant when she
came into the State, and afterwards had a child,
if the mother is removed as a slave, the child can
not be taken with her. The child 'a a free negro.
No slave owner can tako such child against his
will and soli him into bondage. A child eighteen
mouths old cannot give conaent to hia removal to
be made a etave lor life. Nor can a mother, by
her entreaties aud prayers, have such child re
moved. If the mother ia taken the child cannot be.
fie free negro is carried out of the Slate by force, or
.-seduced by artifice and fraud, and carried to a
elavebolding State, with a view of selling him as a
alave for life or years, it is a violation of the Act of
1847, prohibiting kidnapping.
Adarch. The bill of indictment charged George
Alberti, James F. Price, and J. S. Mitchel with
the kidnapping of Joel Henry Thompson, a free
male negro child, with the design and intention
of selling him into slavery, as a slave for life, in
the town of Elkton, aud the State es Maryland.
Such was the first count. There were nine
countn in the indictment, charging the of
fence in various ways, and nlto a count for a
conspiracy to entice the child away, and sell him
into e’avery. It is unnecessary in the report of
the case, to set forth at length the indictment, as
the main points which arose on the trial will be
lully comprehended from a brief statement of tho
facts and tho charge of fee Court.
There were various questions as to the admis
sibility of testimony which ar .se on tho tr al ol
the cause, noneof which ills deemed of suffi
cient importance to state in the report. The ab
duction of the child was proved to have taken
place on tbe 14th of August, 1850, in the county
of Philadelphia, without any form of law being
observed for the arrest of the mother or the
child.
The facta of the case were briefly these. One
Wjiijam Thompson married a colored woman
in Wilmington in the year 1815, and immediate
' ly after they removed to this part of tae country.
By her he had two children; the one that was
the subject of this indictment was a year and
nine months old, and was burjin New Jersey.
In August, 1850, Thompson with his wife and
child, were living near Burlington, when Price,
one of the defendants, camo to the house of
Thompson, on a gunning extortion, as ho pre
tended ; the parties were acquainted, and had
been for some timo before. Price was treated
kindly and hospitably by Thompsons and his
wife while with them. Before he lul't he invited
ihn wife <»f Thompson u> collie ano tsc© hlnucn
and family when ehe came down to market the
next 'veclt, and het elluiigly to 011112 With
her the child, saying that his wife desired very
much to see the child, and she must be sure to
bring the little boy with her. The woman on
the following Wednesday went to market at
Philadelphia and took the child with her. She
di<i not return home. Cn Friday the husband
became alarmed lest something had happened,
and came to the city in pursuit of her. He went
Immediately to the house rs Price and inquired
for his wife. He was informed by Price that she
ato breakfast at his house on the previous morn
ing, and that ha had not seen her since. it was
proved by a number of the neighbors of Price
th it they saw a colored woman and child, an
swering the description of the wife of Thompson
at the house a day or two before slu was mis
sing.
One witness testified that Price and his wife
said she was the wife of Thompson. Price was
seen logo down an alley with the wife and child
and finally seen to take them both to the house
of Alberti. Alberti then employed a man to
drive a carriage with a coloured woman and
child to Wilmington, alleging that she had rob
bed her master, and he wished to return her
here.
It was proved that the woman slid child were
at the house of Alberti most of the day after she
was brought there by Price, and that Alberti said
she had made resistance, but he had quieted hsr
with a “billy,” and that there was a bruise on the
head of the woman, as if caused by a blow.
About four o’clock in the a‘ternoon,on the 14th
of August, Alberti took the woman and child to
the carriage, in company with a young man,
his assistant, when the drive: started with them,
as he supposed, for the State of Delaware. And
when they arrived at Wilmington, the driver of
the carriage supposed they were at the end of
their journey ; but Alberti directed him to drive
on, and about eleven o’clock they stopped some
miles below Wilmington, where they stayed all
night, when the driver testified that for the first
time, he learned the woman was being carried
off as an alleged slave, aid she appealed to him
for protection for herself and child. But ho said
he thought it was not in his power to protec
her, and drove them on to Elkton, Maryland.
Then they stopped at a public house, when Al
berti went into the country and brought a man by
the name of Mitchel, one of the defendants la the
bill of indictment, but was noton trial, who
when he saw the woman exclaimed, “We have
got you. you black bitch, at last,”
The woman appealed to the driver, and begged
that he would take the child back to its father,
and claimed of Mitchel that he should let the
child be sent back. But he refused ; said he
would keep the child, and send her to the Geor-*
Sia market for sa‘e. It wrs also proved that
Iber J said he was to have for his trouble one
half the mother and child brought, and that they
were sold for one thousand dodais. Price said
ho got seventy five dollars for bringing the wo
man and child to the city.
There was no legal proof that the woman was
a slave, or that Mitchbl was the owner, or that
Alberti had any power of attorney or authority
to arrest and remove the woman.
The defendants proved that when the woman
was at the house of Alberti, he called in Aider
man Allen, who made some order about her re
moval ; and the lawyer who Alberti had at bis
house with the alderman, told Alberti the child
was free, and that he had no right to take it.
The woman begged if they insisted on taking
her, that Alberti should wait till her husband
could be sent for, in order that be might eome
and take the child ; but this Alberti refused. He
offered to let her leave the child with hisp, but
this she refused to do, up?n the ground that she
feared he would keep the boy till grown up. and
sell the boy as a slave. This is a general out
line of the facts.
The prosecution was conducted by H’. &
Pierce, /Air id Webster, and D. P. Prevr.,
Esqrt., and the defence by H .n. E. Ltftman
and H Hubbell, Esqrs.
Parsons. Judge, charged the jury in sub
stance as follow's:—
The decision of this case is of great impor
tance, when considered in its effect upon the
liberty of our coloured population it fe of still
greater importance when we reflect upon the
great question which has recently agitated the
eople of the United States, relative to the ex
tradition of persons of color, claimed as fugi
tives trom labor. In the argument ot counsel,
it has not improperly been styled a national
question. It is so, at least, ns it may effect the
minds of the community in relation to the rij?ht3
of the owners ot slaves, and on our decision
affording proper legal protection to the colored
race.
If such is the character of the cause, the f'our
and jury should approach its consideration with
calm deliberation, and suffer no feelings us sym
pathy for persons r f color, who arc legally hr Id
in bondage, to mislead our judgment, or d. ert
the mind num the standard ot rLtht. We should
also divest ourselves of any' prejudice which may j
have found a lodgment in the heart, against the
institution of slavery recognized by the ‘
laws of some States in the Union, end those ot
the general government.
The right of citizens to hold negroes in bond
age tor lite, in many of the States in the Union,
is reeognizfd by the fundamental law of the na
tion. It is a lan we are all bound to respect
and obey; no matter what may be our individu
al opinions upon the subject of Slurxry. The
cosiattu&m, and the Acts of Congress passed
in pursuance of it, must be enforced in the Sta-e
Courts, when a question relative thereto arises
in them, and it is your duty as jurors, to regard
the law of the nation as much as an Act cf As
sembly of our own State.
When a slave has escaped from his mister,
under the general law of me United S ates, the
owner or hts authorized agent, has a right to pur
sue the fugitive, and capture him w h . rever he
can be round ; and no one should obstruct the
owner in the exercise of his right, because the
taw has given him authority for the recapture of
the fugitive, and ail interference by strangers,
is a violation of law
But when the owner of a slave comes into a
fr*< Statejo regain his property, be must do it
m a legal manner. There are three ways in
which this can ba dona. The owner can come
to the pla«e where he finds his slave and arrest
him; it should be done in a peaceable manner,
simply using all rhe force necessary for the pur
pose ; and remove the slave to his domicil,
which no one has a right to resist him in so
doing. If the ownership of the alleged slave is
doubted, it can always be tried before a legal tri
bunal. So if th j master does not desire to come
in person to recapture his slave, he can delegate
his power to a regularly constituted agent, who
can arrest iho fugitive in the same way. When
this is done, the agent must see that his author
ity is full and clear, and should be able to show
by competent proof, that such delegation of au
thority is complete.
But the most efficient and satisfactory way of
reclaiming a fugitive, is under tho Act of Con
gress, by an application to a judge of the United
States Court, or commissioner appointed by that
tribunal, where proof is made of the ownership
of the slave, and where tho person arrested has
the right to controvert the wets, and show that
he is a freeman, if it be established, and the
proof is satisfactory to the judge or commission
er, that tho individual arrested Is a slave oi
tbeclaimant, then an order is made for his re
moval. But no ono has a right to remove a col
ored person from this State, on the allegation
that he is a slave, except it is legally done, under
tho constitution and the Acte of Congress.
And lie who attempts it with the intend u of
selling the negro as a slave for life, or for years,
is amenable to the criminal laws of this State.
Ills a peculiar feature in this case, that we
have no legal evidence, that the wife of Thomp
son, tile mother of the child, was a slave ; none
on which ajndge or com missions would order a
removal. There is no prosf which would au
thorize a slaveholder to arrest her, none to show
that Alberti or Price had the least auihori'y to
apprehend he-. But the defendants are not in
dicted for the kidnapping and removal of her.
It is for removing the child to Maryland, with
the intention of selling him into bondage, and
then actually selling him, that constitutes the
offence with which they a e charged, and it is
the crime you are to pass upon. Hal the de
fendants proved (which they have not done)
that the mother was a slave lor life, under the
taws of Pennsylvania the child was free. For
it was decided in the case of the Commonwealth
v Holloway, 2S. & R. 305, by Chief Justice
Tilghman, that* 1 Birth in Pennsylvania, gives
freedom to the child ofa slave who had abscond
ed from another State before she became preg
nant.” This child had breathed the pure air ol
freedom, and no human power could legally re
move it •to inhale another atmosphere, that of
slavery.
But had it been shown that the mother was a
slave, these prisoners nad no authority to remove
her; nor if she was a slave, could they take the
child. Nay, had she even begged and prayed
those who ware removing her, to take her child
along with her, and sail it into slavery. It was a
frc niax; and while it Is our duty to give all
legal and proper aid tothe master, to enable him
to remove nis slave, our law does not suffer him
to take one that is free born, even if it severs
the fond ties of a mother's love for her child,
and tears aaunder all the tender affections of the
human heart. Our law speaks lu the spirit
England’s accomplished poet:—
“ Take then thy bond, take then thy pound of
flesh,
Shed thou no blood; nor cut thou leas, nor
more,
But just a pound of flesh.”
Take your slave, but her infant bey, born in free
dom’s laud, you cannot take, eten to answer a
mother’s prayer, or to stifle the sobbings of he.
breaking heart.
If the jury believe ths child was not a slave,
or was a free colored person, and he was taken
by the prisoners with an intention of selling
him into slavery, it is a violation of our Act
of Assembly, passed in 1847. This Act provides
“ that if any person or persons shall by force or
violence take and carry away, or cause to be
taken or carried away, and shall by fraud or false
pretence entice or caase to be enticed, or shall
attempt to take, carry away, or entice, any free
negro or mulatto, from any part or parts of this
Commonwealth, to any other place or places
whaisover, out of this Commonwealth with a
design and intenion of selling, or causing to be
kept and detained, such tree negro or mulatto as
a slave or servant for life, or for any term what
soever. every such person or person, his or their
aiders and abettors, shall be deemed guilty of a
high misdemeanor, and on conviction,” &c.
Your first inquiry under thia Act of Assembly,
and the evidence, will be, was this boy a free col
ored preson 7 If we regard the solemn decision
of the Supreme Court of the State, we are
bound to instruct you that he was /reeiom, and
in the language ot the law a “ free negro” For
there is no evidence that his mother or father
were ever slaves. He was born in a State where
freedom is racognized. He was in Pennsylva
nia, where in a case tike the present he could not
be called a elave, but was a “free negro.” Was
he taken away by force and violence? If the
evidence is behoved, he was. No consent could
be given by him. Both mother and child were
by the most brutal violence taken against their
will, and carried off. Was thia done with the
design and intention of selling the boy as a
“ servant for life, or for any term whatsoever” in
the language of the law ? The proof is that
Alberti said, that the mother and child were sold
for one thousand dollars, and he got the one-halt,
and that Price said ho got seventy-five dollars for
bringing the mother and child to Alberti for that
purpose. On the facts adduced upon tho trial,
you will decide upon the intention of these de
fendants, in their connection with theaflair.
This law would be violated under the follow
ing circumstances. If a free negro is carried out
of the State by force and violence with the de
sign and intention of selling and disposing of
him, or causing him to be sold, or to be kept and
detained as a servant for life or any term what
soever. So if by fraud or false pretence a negro
is enticed or caused lobe enticed away for the
purposes above mentioned, then the cringe is
complete. So if one ehail attempt so to lake,
car~y away or entice any free negro or
mulatto f rom any part of th s Commonwealth
with the design and intention of selling and
disposing of, or c ausing to be sold or kept any
such free ntnrro or mulatto, lor the purpose of
making him a slave or servant for lifu, or for any
ether term whatsoever, then under such a state
of facts the law is violated.
This indictment charges the oflence in the
various forms mentioned in tbe Act of Assembly,
and it is for to den rniine under the evi
dence that has b<»en adduced whether the law
has baen violated. The Court have presented a
brief outline of the facts. They are all Iresh
wilhin your rp<nll« Ftinn, ?«< < .v« haw jjiv.-n
what is conceived tn beacmrect exposition cf
ihe law. and a fair and legi'iniate construction
of tbe Act of Assembly, and we leave the cause
for the consideration of the jury.
No prejudice against slavery should have the
least influence upon your minds, whatever mav
be your persjnal views as tothe propriety of this
institution in our government. The authority
to hold slaves is a part of the law of the Union
and we have no right to disregard it. V\ hile it
is equally < lear, tinless a negro is a slave for life,
no human bcinr has any right to sell him into
bondage or attempt to make him a slave for life.
While slavery is tolerated by law. the kidnapping
free negroes is equally abhorred by the law, and of
the better feelings of humanity, both in the
slaveholding and non-slavcholding Stalos. Be
fore any one can be held as a servant for life, it
must be clearly shown he is a slave. Before a
negro can be removed from the soil of Pennsvl
varia ngain?t his will, it iiiti«t be clearly estab
lished that he is in law a stave. If that is not
shown, and a negro is removed against his will,
and by any of ihe means pointed out by tho Act
of Asacmbiy of 1847. and with the design there
in expressed, then he who causes it becomes a
violator of the law, and his acts are made crimi
nal.
Alberti and Priue were found guilty, and the
firat named was sentenced to an imprisonment of
ten years, and the other for eight years In tho
Eastern Penitentiary.

INTERESTING TO COTTON PLAN-
TERS.
LJJ R. PARKHURST’S Patent Cotton Seed
O® CLEANING MaCHING. constructed with
out Saws or Ribs.
The Inventor of this Machine now haa the plea
sure of answering the numerous inquiries from Cot
ton Planters, respecting the performances and results
of this Gin. it has been fully tested by cleaning the
entire crop of a large planter near Columbia, S. C., (a
certificate from whom is appended,) enhancing the va
lue of the Cotton one and a half to two cents per lb.
over that cleaned by any Saw Gin. Thia advanced
price more than pays for a Machine in one year’s
average crop, the cost of it being only 5250. It
turns out equally as much or mere, than any Saw
Gia ; is more simple and durable, perfectly safe to
the ginner, inasmuch as he cannot cut himself; and
the gnat danger of fire, oy friction, in other Ma
chines, is entirely obviated.
Arrangements are completed, to build these Ma
chines in Augusta, for the State of Georgia; and
Colton Planters desiring them, are respectfully re
quested to send their orders to the subscriber. One of
the Gins may be acen in operation at my Fteara Mill.

Copy of a certificate from Col. Wade Hampton,
dated at Millwood, Nov. 4, 1850.
Mr. Parkhurst has been, for some weeks, at my
plantation, adapting his Cotton Gin, originally in
tended for long Cotton, to short staple. The experi
ment has been entirely successful. He has one Gin
in operation, which will prepare four bales, of three
hundred and fifty pounds each, per day, and the
quality of the cotton ia far better than 1 have ever
seen. By this process of cleaning cotton, the staple
is uninjured, while all the motes and false seeds are
almost entirely separated from the lint. I deem this
discovery of vast importance to the country, and I
earnestly hope that Mr. Parkhurst may be rewarded
for it. «p’9-wly W. Hampton.
sNOTICE TO MECHANICS.’
THE Subscriber has on band a set cf MA
CHINERY. made expressly fora Cabinetand
Carpenters’ Shop. It consists of Daniel’s Planing
Machine, Pay’s Mortice and Teneming Machine, the
beet now in use, a Turning Lathe and Boring Ma
chine, up and down Saw, Circular Saw Arbcrs, of
different sizes, Tongue and Groover, Belting, die.,
Counter Shafis, and two inch Shafting, all rigged
and finished in the most approved manner. This
machinery would be sold at a bargain, and warrant
ed good.
The subscriber has also for sale, the Machinery
for an iron rigged Saw Mill complete, new and in
good order. This way of rigging a Saw Mill is de
cidedly preferable to the old wood work plan. It is
not expensive, and when once rigged, it rune much
better, and needs but little repair. This machinery
maybe purchased at a bargain, as the subscriber is
about to engage in other business. The above is all
new.
The subscriber will also act as Agent in getting up
or purchasing any kind of Machinery in use, and
his advantages are such, that he feels warranted in
saying he can give satisfaction.

Philosophy of Brandreth’s Vege
'i'AßLE PILLS.
TiTHEN the theory of the circulation of the
v v b*oo I was established, the secret springs of
vitality were then partially exposed to our view. We
Mwand understood that tnefood we eat w«ts convert
ed into blood, which repaired the waste of ihe animii
machine; the food lutl, which Seeps a. a hie heat
the internal fires tnat warm and invigorate our inner
man. Ihe blood i«an electric fluid which cat ries mis
heal to every ramification of ’tie nody, even t • the ex
tremities of the hair and horny nail. While the bicod
is tuus the beat of life, it is a'so the ►eat of disease*
Food gives th-body strength; Brandreth’s I’llst give
ciuod trie neces.-ary power to throw out from itsell all
impurities, thus rendering tire stream of life pure and
healthy. If men were more sincere, there would be
fewer religion* creeds; and it they kept closer to na*
tare's laws in the management of the.r bodies, they
would require little medicine. As men grow more
intelligent they will become wiser and happier ; even
now. their wisdom is proved by the fact, that, when
sickness avails them tney cue Brandreth’s Vegetable
Dnive sal Pills, which soon restore them to hea.th.
They are pecm.ariy adapted to this climate, and re
quire no e. tra care when they are used, either in diet
or clothing, iuey should be always in the house, so
tnat upon the first indicatrnri of sicxness they may be
□aed One dose >H the beginning is more potent lor
good than a dozen alter me sickness i* fixed in tne
system. In colds, coughs, asthma, rheumatism, cos
nveness, fevers, and in all acute, or deep-seated
pains, their effects will be found beyond all praise,
three o: five will act like a charm, often curing a
dangerous malady at once, saving mouths of sickness
and tne evils thereto attending. Remember, Brarid
reth's Pi is are a known and fully tested mtdicin**
one that is used oy hundreds o; thousands in this coun
ty. and tnreughout tne civilized world. They are
q iiet y superceding all other medicines. They taite
out oulythit from the blood which is the cause oi
weakness and paio. leaving health and strength ; they
ptoduce hea.tny sleep at night, and an appetite that
renettes ail Kinds oi lood.

THE SUPKBIOU OP OUININE AND
SA RSAPARH.I. A.
THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.
f, R. I. T. HENDERSON S EUREKA TONIC AND
JpNEPENTHEAN PILL 6, a safe, certain and per
manent antidote agairst ail toruis of the poisonous
eficGta of Miasmata; effecting speedy and periuant
cures of
CHILLS AND FEV.TR,
and all the difi’erent varieties of Fevers; torpid liver
enlargement of the spleen, dyspepsia, dropsy, Jaundice,
and all kinds of constitutional debility and derange;
ment of me system, are speedily remedied by these in
valuable medicines. These valuable antidotal reme
dies were discovered by Dr. i T. Henderson, and have
been successfully tested by some of the best physicians
in the .South and by thnn«anda of other persons.
1 hese medicines are wholly Vegetable, and are
harmless under any circumstances. The principal inj
gradients are entirely sew remedies, used by no other
person in any form as a medicine.
In malarial diseases, they act as an antidote against
the poisonous effects of impure air, and require ne
preceding preparation ot ’h»- system, as they compris®
the Cathartic, Diaphoretic, Sedative, and Tonic prin
pie;; thus accomplishing a de&tderatum in the treat
ment of these disease*, long sought for before the dis
covery of thsse medicine*.
All who have used Hninine,(the host remedy here
tofore known for intermittent fever) must say that it
is neither certain nor lasting »n its effects.
Quinine, in many instances from febrile excite
ment and gastralgia, and ceuhalic disturbances, is in
adrnissable. But the Eureka Medicine can be used
under any circumstances or condition of the system
where a tonic, purge, or disnhoretic is needed, with
the happiest effects Tho tonic mildly acta on the
bowels, carrying off the inuco Liuouk mattar collected
ihe-e; collecting the action of the liver and spleen,
and assisting nature to throw off the impediments to a
healthy action ot the body, by natural temedies. sail
ing into action suspended natural laws; thereby re
moving the causes and effects of diseases through the
natural channels of the body.
All that is asked .or these wonderfn medicines is a
fair trial, which wilt satisfy all cf their unparalleled
virtues. Their lame is built upon their own efiioacy
and a comparison with ail other remedies is cbaileng*
ed. Physicians are requested to use the Eureka
Tonic and IS epen thean Pills, as they would any other
tonic, with any previous preparation of the system
they please, and they will be convinced they ate the
superior of Quinine, and the whole catalogue of tonics
used as
Their use is at any time, even when the
patient has the highest lever. For sick head-ache and
obstructed menstruation, they have no equal. For
particulars see tonic directions.

JH QUA FT 30XTL.23.
IpOR TKKR RKMGVAL and permanent«a»
. of all Diseuseo arising f? .to an impure slate of
the Blood, or habit of the System.
Among the many and import sn* discoveries of this
generation, is one whosa lame wii be -.vritten, as with
a sunbeam, in the history ot the past. SANDS’ BAR.
. BAPARILLA stands forth alor.a. and by its own works
proclaims its power—-that mate eioqnence so irresisti
’ bly affecting in the apnyals cf the suffering for relief,
■ has been answered. Thoasiras of cases of diseases
I h»ve beau cured by <!•*• piedtalnv, such aS
are int lU’ntahed in the records of tiro®. These things
ara not done in secret places, or In some unknown
’ town, but are performed in cur principal cities and
* public places. They are brought before the world to
substantiate, beyond doubt, the healing viitues of this
i preparation; and the facta unfolded, although gigantic,
$ are as plain as the light of day.
The Sarsaparilla is combined with the most effectu
r al aids, the mo.«* ’’’tiry productions, the mos’- potent
’ simples of the v. j .b!e kingdom ; and its unprece
dented success in the reatoratimi to health ot those who
had long pined under th® most distressing chronic ma
ladies, has given it an exalted character furnishing,
as- it does, evidence of its own intrinsic value, and re
’ commending it to the afthetod in terms the afflicted
* only can know. It has long been a most important de
[ sider.itum in the practice of medicine, to obtain a
r, remedy similar to this—one that would act on the
. Liver, Blomach, and bowels with all the precision
. and potency o» mineral preparations, yet without any
of their deleterious effects upon the vital poweis of
; the system. Although possessed of powerful heal
i ing properties, it i.s entirely harmless, and will not
i injure the most delicate cGin'.itunon. Whenmpei
, feet health, no effect is produced by its use, except an
increase of appetite; but when diseane isseated in th®
frame, and carrying fist rta victim along tne path of
life, then its mysterious influence is felt and 6<*en ; it
enkindles new life and vigor, and brings health and
strength to the buffering and diseased.
