On the morning of the 28 h the ice eased off

The Caffre War. — Sir Harry Smith appears
to have made no movement of consequence
during the previous month, while the Ueffres
and Hottentots were spreadtag themselves
through the Eastern provinces, and penetra
ting settlements previously considered secure
from danger.
Just previous to tbe departure of the steam
er, news reached the Cape of an attack upon
seme English, between Fort Baafart and
Graham’s Town, when fire were killed by the
rebel Hottantota. Strong patrols were seut out
immediately, but with what success is not
known.
It appears that while Sir Harry Smith has
been checking the enemy on tho fron ier* the
Csffres and Ho'tentote have been invading and
pilsging tha interior.
The correspondent of the London Times at
the Cape, under date Aug. 1, says:—“brom
what I can learn, Major Warden has been de*
seated in the Sovereignty, tho Caffres are
within five miles of Nitenhage, and the war,
consequently, is in the heart of the colony ”
In an action on lhe 30ih of June the British
troops were forced to retire, and Moroko, the
ally of the Colony, is sta ed to have lost up
ward of 130 men. Major Warden was pre
paring for a combined movement, at the bead
of 3 000 men, against the enemy; but al! the
regular forces at his disposal dos not exceed
170 men principally of the 45;h regiment and
Cape Corps

Tke New Yoik Slave Decision.
The decision of Judgt Conkling, in the fiai
tiva slave case at Buffalo, is much discussed in
the paoere, ani very generally with an errone
ous statement of he conclusions nf the argu
ment and the effect of’he d cision With
some it is pronounced to be a positive nullifica
tion of the law as to all fugitives who escaped
from their masters before the da’e of its
Sept. 18, 1850; and out of that s atemer.t a
great sensation h°s very naturally been produ
ced at the South. That construction is so
variant from tho universal understanding of
the inten of the law, and the manner in wft ch
it has her tofore b a en received and administer
ed, (hat it would be impossible for Sou hern
men to remain quiet, and not to demand declar
atory acts or positive amendments to fix tbe
construction upon the right basis. We should
thus have this most agitating of questions re
opened for debate in the next Congress, by
the action of t e South itself; and it is impos
sible to foresee to what excitements this might
not lead, from the attempts of ’he Free Soilers
to improve the opportunity of mischief, by in
(reducing oiher amendments to make .'he law
less effective. Wo do cot apprehend that any
action can be had in lhe next Congress by
which tbe law will be weakened; and we are
confident that any defect of form which may
have led to a construe ion different from the
acknowledged intent with which it was passed
will be repaired; but tbe revival of debate on
such an exciting subject must necesbanly have
an irritating effect and quicken into ac ivity
again passions and controversies which hid
nearly subsided intoquiit
It i< fortunate, therefore, ’hat there is no such
case of necessity made by Judge Conkling tor
congres-iunal interference and that the decision
which he did make falling very fir short of
what is represented, is no* final; and that
sound lawyers contend that it will not ho sus
tained as law by the Supreme Court of the
Uni'ed States, it is not definitely law until
lull? sustained there, an J the Nirthern press
jflirms that the decision will he taken up for
review in that august tribunal We are not
to'd how the case is to be made—seeing that the
negro has already be-n iseharged, and has
aken his flight to Canada ; but the m'ereil of
the point is so grave, ihat we doubt not some
means can he found fur obtaining a judgment
Irom the court of last resort.
It ia important, however, to understand the
red point of lhe cectson, and tho real conse
quences of the construction, if established
The effect of the dec sion is not to defeat the
re'ro.-pectivo effect of the act of 1850, or to
discharge the fugitives who escaped before ’hat
date from liability to recapture. Every fugi
livo, nu iMaitvr wbai daio ha may have esca
ped, whether before or after its passage, is
made by the express letter of ihe law liable to
be reclaimed and surrendered, on of his
condition and (he titlo of ihe claimant But
there are in lhe law two forms of proceeding
to mike these proofs. We have already s’a ed
in this paper the differeoc.) be ween them.
The first mode s prescribed in the sixth sec
(i< n, and Judge Conkling says of it it is mani
fest that C ngrees ‘ intended to provide for
cases of prior as well as subsequent es •ape.”
Il provides fur the arrest of a fugitive, and the
taking of proof at the p ace of arrest, to show
lhe title of the claimant and the identi y of lhe
fugitive. Another section, which s the one
Judge Conkling reviewed, authorizes the
proo s of title and escape to be made in lhe
Stale from which the slave fled, and lhe record
to be used as testimony in lhe Slate in which he
was arrested , but as there are no words in the
liw creating* retrospective effect, the judge say*
that the privilege of making these proofs in
thn form belongs only to claimant* in cases
arising after the act was parsed.
The law then as expounded by Judge
Conkhng, is this: Fugitives may be recaptured
an ! mu< be surrendered no ma’ter what (he
date of their escape may be, proof being made
pursuant to the act. before the tribunal where
ihe slave is arrested.
If the slave escaped after the passage of the
law. 'he claimant instead of bringing hi* papers
and witnesses into court, may produce certain
record proofs taken in the slivo Bta e. which
shall be received ne conclusive
The effac* of his decision is to exclude, in
care.* arising before the act, the benefit of the
record proofs allowed by the t*-nth sec ion and
c mpe the claimant to es’abiiih his titles as dr
reeled in the sixth section.
This, it is evident, is by no means a denial of
the retrospective ch tracer of tha act as 1850.
or a discharge of fugitives of any date from
liability to recapture It has a mucn narrower
reopc. denying the retrospective effect of ’he
privilege granted in ’he new law. of making
proof* in a sp«o al and summary way.
There is no c institutional point 'aired unon
the ch trader of the claure as ex post facte
Judge Conkling d res not pretend that Con
gr ss c >ul l not make the etfe t of this clause
re rospective—only that it did not. The
sixth section expressly reg jia e.s the proofa as o
fugitives who have ‘heretofora” escaped—th it
is, before tbe passage of tho act. The
tenth section defines as to those who “shall
escap*," omit ing (he menti n f those that ma*
have “heretofore” escaped. Tha firs: is recog
nized to bo va id as io the older cases because
it contains a retrospective clause; the second is
decided to be notva id ns o dies? cares, because
the word* are omitted. It is not the compe
tency of Congress tgive a reirospec ive effect
that is disputed but their intent not to give it,
which is asserted as d-ducib e from the text.
No argument is therefore necessary in ’his case
to show that then pest facto prohibition relates
only to penal and criminal proceedings, and
not to civil proceedings affecting rights of
property, or political rwhts. No such point
was raised. Indeed, tbe only poin: raised is
un the intent of Ccngro*s in die framing of this
section The absence of tho words giving a
retrospective act on in one sect on wr.h their
presence in another, is construed as signifying
a purpose to make the dis inc ion.
I’he soundness f this conclusion is disputed
by manv ; and the confident opinion is ex
pressed by many .hat the ien‘h sec'ion is the
true legal co- struetton—being m the n *tura of
a remedial act lor the enforcement of an ac
knowledged rig’t—to be administered so as to
advancethe legal end. on the equitable principle
that remedies for acknowledged wrongs are not
subject to thu limitations of penal statutes. It
Ins be true, the Supreme Court wi i rectify
errer of principle, although it cannot repair
the wronu done to the individual, who has
in this esse been deprived of his p operty
by a m staken judge If it be not to. there is
an evident delect in ths law, which Congress
ought to hasten to correct accord ng to tbe
well understood menu.ng with which it was
passed ; and we will not doubt tha: the reu.edy
will be applied.

Objections to Mr. Cobb Answered.—
In the discii'sion in Dublin las’ week, in
which Messrs. Stephens. Luwis, and Loyu
participated it was alleged by (he lat er en
tletmn, we are informed, as an objection to
Mr. Cobb, that he had voted, while a member
of Congress, for the Wilmot Proviso. This
Mr. S. flatly denied, and called for proof, but
none could bo adduced. Mr 8. shewed by
the records of Congress, which he had before
him, that Mr Cobb voted agai is the Oregon
rerritorial bill, in which the Wil not Proviso
wis engraf ed, and which is now the law of

The Largest Vasael Afloat.—The Cincin

owing description of a marine monster about to
be constructed in that city :
Dr. Spalding, the Circus King, has been in
town several days, closeted with architects and
shipbuilders, projecting an enterprise, compared
with which all other show projects a:e literally
nothing, lie his the drawings and working
plans tor a monster fl jating palace, fur the con
struction of wh’eh ho is getting estimates, 10 )0
feet long and 6U feet beam, with luxurious ac
coranaodaiions for 4,000 spectators. The interi

cious and costly than a n y theatre in the couniry,
with cushioned and armed chairs, dress circle,
parquette and gallery; saloons, promenad s. and
v jth drawing rooms, stage, drops and scenery:
well ventilated and lighted, with facilities for
sneedy ingress and egress, lighted with gas and
Bengal lights, and every modern and elegant
improvement The exterior of this Leviathan

An Exemplary Ruler.—During the reign
of Numa the temple of Janus was n?ver s-sn
onen ore dry, but continued cons nntly shu'
for forty-three years together ; so entire a ces
sation of ail kind o t war was (here on ail sides.
For not only the people of Rome were lamed,
and sait were charmed by theju«tai! mild
1 govern rent of tb«*ir princ?, but even ’he
. neighboring cities round about, as if some gen
■ de breeze or salubrious air had blown from
Rome upon them, began to change their t m
-1 per ; and a geneial inclination to peace and
1 good government wa« infused into all, so »h t
L every one applied himself to the management
of his lands and farm, to he quiet educa’ion
ofhis children, and worship of the gods. Fes
tival days and pl aaant banquet, mu ual be
nevolence and kind e itertamment of friends
viai ing and conversing freely wnh each o her,
without fear or jealousy, were the common
1 prac ice over all Italy; while from Numa’s
wisdom, as from a fountain, a univer»al bones
’ t and j is* c-' fl >wed upon all, and his calm
tranquility d ffuted itself around every way
8o t .at the hgh and hyperbolical expresei**ns
of.he po-*ts ar< said to fall abort in describing
’ the happy state <»f tbo«e da s For during tbe
r whole reign of Numa there neither war,
’ nursedition, nor mnovatiou designed sga’nst
lhe State, nor even so mucn as any enmity or
* envy t; the person of the prince nor was there
” auy’p’ot or conspiracy out of amb.tious design

The Galvetion Journal of the 19ih inst. has
! the following in relation io the crops:
The accounts given cf tha Texas crops hove be fa ii
often contradictory. Tha truth appears to be that
the long drought his year has operated very capri
ciously an i unequally up n our planters. In the
same neigliboi hood, and within a distance of a few
iiii es, wo often hear of some very fair crops, and of
others that have been nearly ruined. As a general
rule, lhe corn crop of tbe country is exceedingly
short, though we tru • veiy lew of our farmers will
have to buy ; but it is quite certain that very few
will have o sell. There can n>w be no doubt that
Ihe cotton crop is also generally quite short; some
say it will average very little over ball a lair crop.
However, there has been a much larger am unt
p’anted in cotton this year than ever before, and a
well informed merchant, who has just returned Irom
the country, thinks a I rger amoun will be shipped
this year than any previous year.

kept by Mr. Ramsey, and although the other Hotels

fr.nt« h »ing Ari to the far*. th»t I have never
visited any Hotel ia Augusta half so well calculated
to make the traveller feel perfectly at home.
Without any thing gorgeous, or for mere display,
you find all the neces.-ariea, and necessary lux

very best country style, under the eye of Mrs.
Ramsey, whose attention to her guests, and manifest
solicitude for their camfort an I convenienco is un
surpassed by any kdy in Georgia while Mr. Ram
sey's exertions, early and late, are indefatigable to
the same end. Ad fed to this, their servants seem
to partake of the st me feeling and spirit, all which
ren lers the “Prankling House,” emphatically the

AUGUSTA CANAL.
At a Meet ng of the Board of Managers of
tbo Augusta Canal, held at their office on the 16th of
September, fast., the following Reaoludon was pass-
I cd:
Whereas the Board of Managers, acting on the in
fonnati n before them, an I than deemed correct, that
by the use of the Augusta Canal, owners of Boats
navi rating the same, saved from twelve to fourteen
dob'ars a trip on each boat, and that such owners had
made no reduction whatever in the freight, did at
their last meeting, impose a r oli of Four Dollars on
each boat entering the Canal (equivalent to fo"r
cents per bale on Cotton brought down, and two dol
lars on the return cargo) as some small compeiiMt'on
for the use of a work constructed and maintained at
ver r heavy 'xpcnec. And whereas, the Ho: rd have
s nee bee* inform' d that the toll to imp ecd h deem
ed exorbitant, and desire time to confer with Chose
interested in the question, with a view cf adjusting
it on fair an I liberal terms —
Therefore, it is, That the collection of
all toilsen boats be suspended until the further or
derof the Board, and that a Committee of Two be
raised to confer, with as little delay as posable, with
planters, boit owners, and others interes eI, as to
whit would be a reasonable rate of u lie ; and that
notice cf t etoits finally imposed be given by publi
cation in the City Papers at least twenty days before

Departed this life, neur Wrightsboro, Ga., on tne
2d of August last, Mrs. Lucy Roberts, consort of
Mi. Sberwco J Roberts, in thcullh year of her rge.
She has left a kind husban ', eight children, and
numerous relatives and friends to depl ro their loss;
but they are comforted with the assurance th it their
loss is her gain. We have every evidence that the
rest* with Jesus.
In early life, our departed sister received a re'i
gious e oration, and always entertained a h'gh ro
gaid for the Church and Religion, but was unac
quainted with the po*erof godliness until about 18
years ai?o, when, at a revival of the Church at
Wrightsboro, she was mere fully thin ever before
convinced of the necessity of a change of heart,
sought and ob’ained the power of converting grace,
and attached herself to the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in which she continued a pious and faithful
memter until death removed her to the Chinch tri
umphant in Heaven.
Her character exhibited a striking assemblage of
those amiable qualities which command and deserve
esteem, She was obliging and kind as a neighbor,
benevolent, tumble and persevering as a Cbris.ian,
faithful and affectionate as a wife, and peculiarly
tender as a mother. She was the child ot affleti n
for more than a year previous to her death, most of
which time were days of pain and much suffering ;
but she bore her illness wi'h calm resignation to rl.e
will if God. At length she breathed her las', w hile
angels, hovering around, conveyed her safely to the
arms <f Jesus Her last words were, “ Prahe the
i.ord! Praise the Lord! Oh, my sou! I” May ti r
children follow her as she fallowed Cbri.-t; and her
bereaved husband, who for36yciru wrsbleised with
the Bociety of to kind a wile tuny he die like her.
“the death of the righteous ”
“ While rests thy head beneath the clod,
Thy hapry spirit swells with G d;
Thy pains and eorrows now are done,
The battle’s fought, and He iven’s won.”

BEWARE OF HUMBUGS’
My attention hav ng be- n called to uii advertise
ment in your paper, over the signature of Jaggsu,
Treadwell <u Perry, challenging all other wheels,
now declare inyseii prepared io accept th© chai
'euge upon all the grounds .-pecifie l, naming SSOO
as the sum upon each point.
Ist. i will bet .SSOO that no other wheel, patented
>r i'iy-1 oo« ns large a per centage oi power,
under a like bead nd volume ot wairx. —.-
2d, That no wheel can -e more durable.
3d That rm wheel can be more simple.
4lh. That none is cheaper.
i s'h. That no wheel is more steady.
6th. Tbit the Rich Wheel is wholly superior to
>.he Vandcwater Wheel.
And again. T.ierc being those who are dis(x»ed
•o question the fact that the Rich Wheel discharges
but half its measure- ieut of apertures, i will bet
$1,009 lira'-the liscu . rge dne> not exceed one-half
the apertures ou u well constructed and adjusted
Rich Wheel, acetal experiment having demonstia
ed that ii dieclrirges i reality but 2 slhs of ihe
apertures, so that a wheel mearuiriug “ 400 inches
in its discharge apertures ” really vents less than
200 I The depth of the water in the ta 1 luce, is no
criterion for eeiimutiug tke quantity discharged, un
ices reference is had to the >peed with which it runs
oil ior example: from the ordinary flutter-wheel,
under ID Ret head, the wuter rum cffai the rate c!
i t<> f- et per second. From my V* he I, under
same head, ii runs off ut lew than j of this speed,
and from this consequtmt slowness ol motion, a thou
sand gallons per minute, from my A heel, would cre
ate as much depth in the tail race aa four thousand
from the flutter-wee! from which the water runs with
quadruple rapidi’y
Hear . / zn/.-.r/, therefore, that unless peed is
rega er • pth in tht /« ’■ race is no criterion
wnuteve; of
mate ii to ascertain wuut aperture, uSongsidej or un
der the same he d and ; rcst-ur<- with the wheel, will
exhaust a number cf g*H< ns of water in the
space of lime. REUBEN RICH
I’, b. H' vi:.--.’ j ist Icuvrtcd lli.it the Agents oi the-

charges even mure tnun its apertures; now, to test
the : sincerity, I v.i;i bet them, or any other person

;5,000 to $2,0u0, that it dues not, (as the
Vut.'lcwater Agents claim) vent more than its aper-
2 i. £5,000 to 92,000, that it does not discharge
equal lo iisapertures
3d. £3,000 to 91,500, that it don’t dhcharge |ds
