Shocking and Thrilling Occurrence.
Nf.w-York, Nov. 20.
A terrible accident occurred this afternoon at
2 o’clock at the new Public School on Green
wich avenue. An alarm of fire was raised, and
the chddren becoming frightened, attempted to
escape from the building. A large number were
crowding against the balustrades in the second
and third stories, when they gave way and pre
cipitated the children to the first floor, a distance
of some forty feet. A'ready 20 dead bodies
have been taken out of the building, and it is
reported that at least forty boys and girls are
killed. The scene was most heart rending—
mothers frantic were seeking their children, and
their cries, mingled with those of the dying vic
tims, attracted thousands to the spot.
Second Despatch.
New-York, Nov. 20—10 P. M.
Our city is in deep gloom in consequence of
the melancholy and heart-rending accident
which occurred this afternoon. Many homes
that a few brief hours ago were the scenes of
happiness and joyous anticipations—where dan
ger was not dreemed of—and every countenance
was bright with smiles, now present deep mel
ancholy, and lamentations.—Eyes that were
bright are flooded with tears, and voices that
were merry are turned to wailing. The details
of this sad calamity, as near as I have been able
to gather them, are as follows:
Abouttwo o’clock this afternoon, Miss. Har
rison, teacher in Primary School No. 26, was ob
served, probably from the closeness ot the room,
to faint. On seeing this, a number of children
ran to her side. Others became alarmed, and in
their fright, raised the cry of fire. This soon
caused the greatest alarm and consternation
among the little, unsuspecting innocents. Al
most in a moment they, as with one impulse,
made a general rush for the doors and windows,
and the stairway, which, it seems, was of spiral
form, and tuning from the first to the fourth story
of the building.
Soon the press against the balustrade became
so great that it gave way, precipitating to the I
floor below, which was of flag stones, used for a
playground, nearly or quite one hundred of the
little ones. The scene at this moment was aw- ]
ful and heart-rending beyond description. Child
after child rushed down the horrible pit, crush- |
injfDerieath their weight those who had gone be
fore, while others leaped voluntarily out or the )
windows, and others threw themselves down the
chasm, mingling their life-blood with those
already dead and dying. More than seventy
children thus rushed into the jaws of death; and
although few escaped being seriously injured,
some fifty were instantly killed.
The calamity would have been still greater
but for the presence of mind of Mr. McNully,
the principal, who was in the fourth story, and
who, on tearing the cry of fire, immediately
placed himself against the door, declaring that
none of the children should go out in this man
ner. His class, by this means, escaped destruc
tion-
A large number were immediately earned to
their homes by their bewildered parents, so that
the full extent of the calamity cannot yet be fully
ascertained.
The excitement at the school, and at the 9th
ward station house, has been such as is seldom,
or ever seen in our city.
The spectacle of parents clasping their dead
and dying children, beggars all attempt at de
scription. The scene was most lamentable to
behold.
The police and staff, the recorder and mayor,
and many medical gentlemen, were promptly on
the spot, rendering the sufferers all the aid in
their power.
An inquest will be held at nine o’clock, to
morrow morning, when the true cause of this
direful calamity will be more fully known.
p. S.IOJ, P. M.—Since the above was sent
it has been ascertained that besides those killed,
some seventy or eighty are maimed—some of
them for life. Many of the little ones are so
dreadfully mangled as to be scarcely recognizable
by their parents. A number of the wounded, it
is supposed cannot survive.
No language can half depict the distress which
exists in consequence of this most melancholy
disaster.
More of the Terrible Disaster.
New-York. Nov. 21,8 P. M.
Thousands of persons collected around the
building to-day', where the melancholy calamity
took place yesterday, by which so many unfor
tunate children lost their lives. Officers were
stationed about the premises in order to collect
all the parts possible to aid in the Coroner’s in
vestigation.
In the area into which the children fell, at
hast a cart load of books, shoes, combs, hats,
shawls and other articles of clothing were found.
The place was literally covered with blood. The
clothing which belonged to the children was
taken to the ninth ward station for recognition.
Here the scene was heart-rending—parents
brothers and sisters were seen looking with tear
ful eyes, and were heard to lament most piteous
ly as they espied some garment or little memen-
to that belonged to their relatives. Some were
perfectly frantic with grief.
It Is now stated that one principal cause of the
Unmensa [n«swilife. was the improper and high
ly reprehensible course pursued by a number of
men, who forced themselves into the building,
and besought the children to fly for their lives;
telling them that the house was on fire, and that
the walls were about falling.
th* . 'll i ■ ■ ■
and they proceeded to the scene of
carriages, to view the dead holies, after which
an adjournment took place until eleven o’clock to
morrow morning, when an investigation will be
gone into.
It is stated that the railing on the stairway
was of so frail a nature as to scarcely support the
weight of a man, much less the great pressure
caused by the affrighted children.
The police station house presents the most sor
rowful aspect, and the upper part of the city
wears a universal gloom.
A severe storm occurred last night and this
morning. Much damage has been done to the
wharves and tlie shipping. Cellars and stores
on South and West streets are completely flooded.
Immense destruction of flour and other merchan
dise. Many poor families have lieen driven out
of the basements, leaving their furniture and other
property. Much distress has been produced a
mong this class of sufferers.
The Thrasher Case at Havana.—Singular Result.
[From u»i Unknown Correspondent.]
Hasvma, Nov. 11 th, 1851.
On the 12th inst., John S. Thrasher was ar
ranged before a military tribunal, and had read
to him the proceedings and findings against him
/■«,- treason — it was no trial—no opportunity
given to him for defence—and noadviser allow
ed him, an is required by the Spanish law. for
Spanish subjects. He was claimed as a Spanish
subject, in order to inhibit protective action on
the part of the American Consul. The whole
proceeding has been in fraud upon justice—fraud
upon Spanish justice—to make a case not to be ap
proached by the United States, with inquiry.
He cannot be deprived of his American citizen
ship, although he may have to suffer, temporari
ly, before he can be reached by the power of the
United States. Il is perfectly reliable, that there
is not the first particle of testimony that would
attaint him as a loyal subject, before th-i civil
tribunals of the land. A few months since,
when Mr. Thrasher sought a licence for his
press, it was denied him by a co-ordinate branch
ofthe Government./or thr reason"that he teas an
American citizen " —rioCo Spanish subject, and he
was compelled to get the license in the name of
Spanish subjects. Now, when revenge for New
Orleans riots is wanted—when the malignity of
the Spanish people are to be indulged and gratifi
ed, which has beenfostrrrd by the Spanish papers in
the United States,—he is made a citizen against
fact and truth.
Mr. Thrasher had his letters of domicil which
expired within five years—without which no
foreigner is allowed residi nee here for business.—
He did not take the stepn required by that domi
cil, if he wished to do so, to naturalize himself—
but left for the United States, where he resided
near two years, and then returned here; since
which lie has sought neither domicil nor natu
ralization. and is liable to a fine only for the
negligence. He was condemned on the asking i
of the “Fiscal" by the military tribunal, to eight
years presidio in Africa, as we understood on the
12th—but to-day we have pretty good assurance
that he goes to death by corrosive sublimate in 'the
quicksilvrr mines of Spain." The sentence is yet .
wanting the approval of General Concha, and
we hope that he may rectify the gross injustice
that is thus aiiemplvU umhu cover oT I,*. I '
am informed that Mr. Owen has asked for a 1
copy of the proceedings, and will protest against
them.
We cannot get the fabrication to state it, as it is
archived upon stamp paper, but the only cause
established to make treasonable action lies in a
letter he did not write —that nobody can see— that
hr did not receive— and that was addressed to Mr. I
Trasser, (Spanish way of writing Thraden) *
and presented for his acceptance by a police of- !
fierr after his arrest. and which he refused to re- j
reive. This letter mas prepared to entrap him. )
and put on board the Georgia in New Orleans, j
with a request to the clerk to be particular and I
SiveittoMr. Thraden— “only— in person.’’ He '
id not do so.—When arrested, it was expected |
he would have the letter upon his person. They I
were disappointed—it was not there. Who )
comes next • We do not know—but we feel I
that the »gia of our country is nor here to protect ■'
American citizens I have not time for more.

By the arrival of th* steamship Mexico, Capt.
rface. from Galveston, we have papers from ]
that place to the 1 tth inst.. inclusive, and cor
reaponding dates from the interior.
The Legislature had met. and Governor Bell *
delivered a very long message —one which oc
cupies seven columns ot’the Galveston Civilian
We have not tune to-day to give it a careful |
reading, and must defer a notice of its contents.
The returnsot the Gubernatorial ejection, as
announced in the House of Representatives, were
as follows
Beil received 1X595 votes; Johnson, 5.262: '

We learn from the San Antonio papers that )
on the 29th ult. a mat- named Murphree shot
and killed one and wounded another of a partv of ;
United States dragoons, at a trading house be
longing to a man named Wheeler on the Llano.
A squad of dragoons were sent from Fort Mr
aon. who arrested Murphree and a German named
Sehluser. who kept the trading house, and burnt
the building with its contents.
The Sau Aatosuo Ledger mentions that Cap
Skillman left that city on the 2d inst., with a
large mail for El Paso and Santa Fe, according
to his contract with the government.
The Houston Beacon says that a short time
since, as Col. Rile)’ was driving ahorse and bug
gy across the bridge at the foot of Preston street,
in that city, the animal took fright and backed
off the side of the bridge, to which there was no
railing. The horse was killed instantly, and the
buggy broken to pieces. The Colonel, however,
jumped out in time to save himself.
Later from the Rio Grande.
The Siege of Matamoros .Abandoned—Carvajals
Forces Dissolved—Reports of an Intended Re
newal of the War.
The report brought here by Capt. Ashby, of
the schooner L. P. Rogers, of the raising of the
siege of Matamoros, was fully confirmed yester
day by the arrival of the steamship Fanny from
the Brazos, with files of the Matamoros Rio Bra
vo to the 12th inst., inclusive.
We take from that paper an account of the op
erations of the contending forces, without the
comments and speculations of the editor:
“The force of Carvajal consisted of about: 800
men and a six pounder, and Avalos’s army in the
city amounted to about six hundred men, with
nine pieces of artillery—six, nine and twelve
pounders. These guns were established in bar
ricade batteries, completely defending his head
quartersand the position of all his men.
“Upon Carvajal’s arrival at Fort Paredes, about
a mile above Matamoros, he ordered an attack to
be made upon Avalos’ position. Five compa
nies, viz: Walker’s, Howell’s, Edmundson’s,
Ford’s and Shilling’s, aided by a portion of the
Reynosa, Mier and Guerrero batallions. These
forces were under the command of Col. Ford,
next in command to General Carvajal. They
made a vigorous and energetic assault, and after
much severe fighting reached, to within a few
houses of the Main Plaza of the city of Matamo
ros. This was the first contest that ensued be
tween the forces of Carvajal as to occasion the
greatest astonishment at the withdrawal of his
men from their advantageoasly advanced posi
tion.
“They had in fact reached nearly within mus
ket shot of Avalos’ head-quarters, and had
: reached a point near the Main Plaza, where they
! commanded three of his main batteries. This
I order to withdraw at night from such a position
I at this, caused the greatest surprise to the men
j to whom it was addressed. They reluctantly
i obeyed it; and we are grieved to say, that thisor
! der was the ground-work of all the fatal and un-
I foriunaU errors TTlilt tOOk phrvr thrrirrg tht’SWJ-
• cessive assaults on Matamoros. Had Col. Ford,
j been allowed to proceed, we believe that a few
* hours w’ould have reduced the city under Carva
| jal’s control. But misled by false information,
I or some other mistaken influence, he gave an or
i der that rescued Avalos from the jaws ofde&truc
i tion.”
A succession of assaults and skirmishes fol
lowed the entrance of the insurgents into the
city, for seven or eight days, and both Americans
and Mexicans under Carvajal behaved gallantly,
the contests being keen and spirited. On the
morning of the 30th ult., about daylight, Carva
jal determined to retire a short distance to recruit
his forces for another assault.
“He arranged his temporary retreat in such a
■ manner as to chiefly place his Mexican forces in
| advance, leaving Capt. Walker's company, with
I some Mexicans, as the rearguard of his column.
They proceeded in this manner to a designated
, point, about twelve miles above Matamoros, on
the Bravo river. Having obtained some four or
, five miles the advance of his rear guard. Ava
, los'scavalry, amounting to 200 men, led by Col.
I Portilia, made two attacks upon the rear guard,
headed by Capt. Walker, and after severe con
, flicts, were repulsed with considerable loss.
‘‘During these combats, the Mexican advance
i and centre, composed of some Mexican battal- i
i ions, and a few straggling Americans were seized ;
i i with a sudden panic and ingloriusly fled—not
i evena company, or adozen men could be rallied
■ to return to the rescue of Walker; but this gal-
I lant officer was abundantly able to rescue himself
i i and soon put Portilia and his superior forces to
, I flight. Carvajal proceeded with his advance ■
. j guard and forces up the river, and left Walker and
: j the portion of his auxiliary forces, who followed !
’ him, to defend his rear. Capt. Wheate, who
t • commanded the noble six-pounder, which had
, answered Avalos’ batteries with so much spirit,
. was ordered to cast his gun into the river.”
The Rio Bravo attributes the result of this
. affair to the unaccustomedness of Carvajal to
i command Americans, and the lack of confidence
, ; in the Americans, in his fitness for the position
. he occupied, and also a rumor that a large gov
. . eminent force was within striking distance of
, : the besiegers. The editor says:
t • ‘ For the present, Carvajal’s forces are dispers-
. j ed, and can only be re-organized at Camargo or
, some other internal point, to resist the forces of !
t j the Central Government.
“Vigorous efforts have been taken to re-unite
’ i and re-animate the scattered troops in this vicin
» : ity. Col. Ford's wound is so far healed, as to
j justify the hope, that he can put himself at their
head in a few days. A junction can be easily '
formed with Gen. Carvajal, and a far stronger
. and better organized body of men, be held in
. readiness for action, than any w hich has yet ap
. peared, under the banner of the Liberating ar-
» my.”
In another part of the paper the editor says:
» ‘‘lt is understood that Gen. Carvajal is strong
. ly posted in Reynosa,and is daily receivng rein
s forcements. The failure of the attack on Mata
moros seems not to have disheartened his troops,
• but on the contrary has rather inspired them with
J a determination to succeed. This accords entire
ly with the w’ell known characteristics of his
auxiliary forces. JFrom present the
*Tn*!Ke same paper ofthel2th instant, it is an* |
nounced that Carvajal was still at Reynoso, and
> w’ould soon be completely re-organized and ready !
for the field with a numerous force- The Ran
r cheros, who w ere with Carvajal to the number ot
. 200, are with Avalos. Gen. Uaga with a body
. of regulars, estimated variously from 400 to 1500, '
i was marching to the frontier to aid Avalos. He
. ' was believed to be at Victoria, in Tamaulipas,
r i Carvajal,at last advices,had removed his remain
; ing men to a point commanding all the roads to
i ! Matamoros, and had a corps of Rangers in the
r neighborhood of that city. “There will be stirring
! events shortly,” the Rio Barvo says.
The article of the Rio Bravo, from which the
. . above is condensed, is very long, but we have
gathered every fact contained in it. The editor
■ I closes with an expression of undiminished confi
dencein the integrity, sincerity and bravery of
j Carvajal, but does not consider him the man to
| command an army, and especially one composed,
i in w hole or in part, of Americans.

REPORT.
Os the Committee on Privileges and Elections,
in the Jasper County contested elections.
j The Committee on Privileges and Elections
i have bad under their consideration the petition
' of Samuel H. Blackwell and Augustus W. Lane,
i protesting against the right of James M. Wil
) liams and Elbert W. Baynes to their seats as
i Representatives of the County of Jasper, and ask
leave tu make the following
Report.
By reference to the returns of the managers of
the last general election, held in and for the coun
ty of Jasper, on file in the Executive Depart
ment, it appears that James M Williams received
eight v-nine votes more than Samuel H. Black
well. nd ninety-three votes more than Augustus
W. Lane; that Elbert W. Baynes received eigh
ty-one votes more than Samuel H. Blackwell,
and eighty-five votes more than Augustus W.
Lane for Representatives ot the County ot Jas
per, in the present General Assembly. Elbert M .
Baynes, the lowest sitting member, received a
majority over Samuel H. Blackwell, the highest
contesting party of eighty one votes. After a most
1 thetegyno-
I members, and the public records, the CbmmiltCT
i have come to the conclusion, although many
strange and jiainful developments have been made
that in the investigation of this case there are but
two facts which can in any way effect the rights
' ofthe parties. . > • v
First, the polls at Slaughter’s precinct, which
: gave Williams and Baynes, the sitting members,
a majority of one hundred and fifty-eight votes
over Blackwell and Lane, the contestants, were
opened, and some one hundred and thirty names,
purposing to be voters, on the tally-sheets, be
fore the hour of 7 o’clock, A. M. on the day of
the election.
Secondly, that the return from said precinct is
fraudulent, because the first sixty names appear
ing on the tally-sheets, certified to as legal vo
ters, are wholly unknown to the citizens ot Jas
per county ; which names do not appear on the
tax receivers books of said county, and of whom
the oldest and best acquainted citizens know
: nothing or know’ them not to be citizens of said i
county. That on account of the ill gal hour of
’ opening the polls at Slaughter’s Precinct, and the i
fraudulent returns therefrom, it is the opinion ot
the Committee that in adding together the re
' turns of the voters of the several precincts in the
county ot JaSffer, the returns from Slaughter's
precinct should not be added.
Taking from the number of votes received by
Williams and Bayne, in the whole county, one
. hundmd and fifty-eight, their majority at Slaugh
ter's Precinct, it appears that Samuel H. Black
well received seventy-six and Augustus W. Lane
sixty-two votes more than James M. Williams,
the highest sitting member from the county of
Jasper.
Your Committee, therefore, submit the follow
ing resolution for the consideration of the House
Res’ Ived. That at an election held in and tor
count y of Jasper, on the first Monday in
last, lor members of the General Assembly ot |
this State, that James M. Williams and Elbert ‘
W. Baynes did not receive the highest number
of legal votes, legally polled, for representatives
of said count yoi Jasper, in the present Gener
al Assembly; that James M. Williams and El
l bert W. Baynes are not entitled to retain their
seats as Representatives of said county; That
Samuel H. Blackwell and Augustus W. Lane, j
having received the highest number of legal
votes, legally polled, for Representatives ot said
County ; that they are entitled to seats as Rep
resentatives of the County of Jasper.
William Mattox sworn
Saith. I attended the election at Slaughter's
Precinct, on Monday, 6th October, 1S51; got
there or before sun up—some time before sun
up; does not know’ that the polls w ere opened—
were voting when 1 got there; looked at the
tally-sheet, saw the number, 130, with a name
opposite to it, but does not know w’hose name it
was. This was before sunrise—hardly light
enough to read. The list was taken away from
me by Isaac Langston, who was acting as a
clerk, when I attempted to look at it. John
Edwards and George Dawkins were the presi
ding magistrates of the district in which said
precinct is. and lived within 2 miles, or 2j from

list of voters, and he was refused. Witness was
prevented from entering the house when he first
f attempted. Thinks there were 25 or 30 men

said election, lived about 14 or 15 miles from the
precinct. Edwards and Dawkins, the magis
trates of said district, arrived about 8 o’clock.
Cross-examined by counsel for the sitting
Did not examine the list so as to see how many
names were actually on it as it was snatched
from me before I had the opportunity. The list
was folded up so as to make number 130 at one
end, and the name w itness saw was opposite to
the number at one end of the list. Has lived near
by the r> reci net—u well acquainted in that neigh

WEEKLY
CHRONICLE ft SENTINEL.
Thursday November 27, 1851.
TO OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS.
In our last Weekly, which was only
printed on one side, we sent a slip with the
following card, and as it may have failed
to reach some of our Subscribers we repub
lish it.
We are compelled to send to all the
subscribers to the Weekly Chronicle &
I Sentinel, a sheet printed only on one
j side. A few words will explain : on Tues-
I day night about G o’clock, a fire broke out
■ in the extensive Cabinet Factory of C A.
Platt, which was communicated to our
; Printing Office, a new four story brick
‘ building, just finished a week previous,
which, With its contents, except a small
' Job Press, a few type, some paper, and
• ! a few small articles, were entirely con
! i sumed, subjecting us to a loss of 13,000 to
; I 15,000 dollars, on which we had not been
i able to effect an insurance, as the offices to
: which we applied had refused to take the
i risk. We are compelled, therefore, to send
Out our sheet half printed.
> Under such a disastrous calamity, our
11 reliance is upon our Patrons and Friends,
' i and our own indomitable will, to overcome
: every obstacle. We appeal, therefore, to
• i every man who owes ns a cent, to remit
> ; it promptly, and we shall feel greatly
, obliged to all those who may feel disposed
J 1 to pay a year in advance. Certainly no
•> ] man who owes us, will fail in such an hour,
: to pay promptly the paltry sum of a few
• dollars, when assured that it will secure
'J i our progress without difficulty.
We know that among our six thousand
- five hundred subscribers wc have
. many warm-hearted, generous friends who
will promptly and cheerfully come to our
9 i aid, and we feci assured that none will be
_ I found wanting in sympathy—a sympathy
: that will not expend itself in mere words
of regret and condolence, for our misfor
l tune.
With this brief allusion to our calamity,
: which is the more brief because unplea
-6 ■ sant, we beg leave in conclusion to re
' mark, that it is our present purpose to issue
, I r ~ ~ .......
• the Chronicle and Sentinel at an early
I day. in an entire new dress, greatly improv
r cd and enlarged. At present we are in
s debted to the courtesies of Samuel M.
1 Thompson, the Commercial Editor of the
' Constitutionalist and Republic, Robert
. A. Whyte of the Georgia Home Gazette,
i and J ames McCafferty of the Southern
Medical Journal, very promptly and gen
t eroudy tendered, for a sufficient quantity of
. type and other facilities for getting out
■ our paper, without which we could not
make an issue. Words fail to express our
, grateful sense of these kindnesses, and we
> have already felt most deeply, how true it
t is that there are “ sweets in adversity.”
We subjoin a few evidences, of the
; efficient assistance already received, to
which we might add numerous others, but
’ , we will not weary the reader with the
' details:
) I r Augusta, Nov. 19, 1851.
> ! Dr. U'm. S. Jones—Dear Sir : —A few days
us was pre
, I until the present time. The peculiarly severe
. calamity which basso lecently overtaken you.
s * has reminded us of our duty, and we now enclose
I a check for the amount of our account, and have

Dr. Ilin. S. Jones—Dear Sir :— The loss you
sustained by the fire last night, will doubtless
embarrass you tor a time. But we feel assured
your many friends will step forward and render

Dr. II m. S. Jones—Dear Sir :— Enclosed you
will find 1 verity Dollars, which you will place
; to my credit in advance for my subscription for

; Dear Friend:— Although I have never seen
’ you I take the liberty of calling you so, for I
• -.’i ...k- i i.,j i i_. i
' claim ail as friends who have battled as bravely 1
for the Union as you have. I was taught to love •
' the Union by a gray-haired father who fought
and bled for it: he fought on the left of the re- I
■ doubt at Bunker Hill. and. in his own language, I
’ was one of the fatigue party that first broke
I ground on that hill made sacred by the blood of
. Warren. Otten have I listened to his recount- j
mg his hair-breadth escapes by Hood and field,
(for he was both sailor and soldier) till my young
heart would swell with emotions of love, pride
and wonder. The old man went down te his
grave at four score, as true a patriot as ever
breathed, poor in wealth, but rich in love of
country. How often have I heard him repeat
the words of the wise man •* Once was I young,
but now am I old. yet have I never seen the
righteous man forsaken or his seed begging
bread;” and this has cheered me on through ad
versity and prosperity for I have witnessed
much of the former and something of the latter.
Most truly do I sympathize with you in your
affliction and earnestly hope that the text of
scripture quoted above may prove as great a
solace to you as it has to the writer. Inclosed I
send you Five Dollars which you can place to
my credit for the Weekly Chronicle and Sentinel,
and should the publishing and distributing your
valuable paper give you a moiety of the pleasure
that it does me to read it. you will yet be happy
in spite of losses. I remain, dear sir. with senti
ments of high regard and esteem your friend.

According to th* new law which has just been
submitted to the French National Assembly, all
citizens of 21 years of age. and having resided
six months in the commune, are declared elec
tors. The military men are to vote in the com
mune where bom. Public functionaries and
ministers of religous worship recognised by the
State, are to exercise their electoral right in the
commune where they exercise their functions,
whatever may be the period of their residence.
Since the above was in type we have received
our telegraphic advices of the Asia's intelligence,
from which it will be perceive i that this law
has been rejected, but that its rejection had caus

: SEND NEW SUBSCRIBERS!
i If our friends will give us the
benefit of a slight effort in the way
of NEW SUBSCRIBERS, they
may easily double our list. Let
every man who feels any interest
in the Chronicle A Sentinel
make the trial to obtain at least
ONE SUBSCRIBER. There is
scarcely a man who cannot send
ONE, and many of them can send
SCORES. It only requires a trial.
Suppose our Six Thousand Five
Hundred Subscribers should each
constitute himself an Agent and
determine to get us ONE NEW
ADVANCE PAYING SUBSCRI
, BER. What would be the effect?
With such an effort, what might
not be accomplished for the im
i provement of the paper, and the
benefit of every man into whose
family it might be thus sent ?
We desire to make the paper
[ better and more useful in every
department than it has ever been,
and if our friends will only aid us
, by extending our subscription list to
; the utmost of their capacity, we
pledge ourselves to the performance
. of our duties, and to the accomplish
. inent of their and our own desires
in that regard.

of the 25th inst.,) that the Waynesboro' Railroad
was opened on Monday last to a distance of fif

now progressing rapidly, and the road will be
pushed forward as speedily as possible toc»m

An arrangement has been made to run four
horse coaches in connection with the road, from

Mr. Dawson.—The Milledgeville Recorder

are happy to hear that he is again on his feet,

His numerous friends will rejoice to know, that

Visit of the Alabama Legislature to
1 Georgia—We see it suggested (says the Savan
nah Republican) in an Alabama paper, that the
members of the legislature of that State, now in
I session, should pay a visit to our legislature at
Milledgeville, for the purpose of examining the
Rail-roads of Georgia. There are but few miles
of Rail-Road in Alabama, and it is thought that
the membeis might acquire much valuable in
formation on the subject of internal improve
ments by a personal examination of those in this
State. We need not say, our people would be
glad of an opportunity to welcome the legislature
of Alabama to this State. Should they deter
mine to make the visit, we can assure them, in
advance, of areal u Georgia welcome.”

The Use and Beauty o/ Trees.
f venience,” —to look at them with an eye solely
' to the amount of fire wood or the number of feet
‘of lumber which they will furnish. To such (if
i there be any among dur readers.) we commend
l the following extract from a very charming book
! called "Rural Hours.'’ It is said to be from the
' pen of Miss Cooper, (daughter of the novelist.)
, and is from the press of Air. Putnam, of New
York :
‘"But independently of their market price in
dollars and cents, the trees have other values;
i they are connected in many ways with the civi
•| lization ot a country; they have their impor
tance in an intellectual and moral sense. After
' the first rude stage of progress in a new country
I —when the shelters and tood have been provided
■ —people begin to collect the conveniences and
I pleasures of a permanent home about their dwel-
■ lings, and then the farmer generally sets out a
I few trees before his door. This is very desirable,
' but it is only the first step in the track; some
thing more is needed, the preservation of fine
trees, already standing, makes a farther progress
! and this point we have not yet reached. It fre
-1 quently happens that the same man who yester- j
i day planted some half a dozen branchless sap- i
lings before his door, will to-day cut down a no- ;
' ble elm. or oak. only a few rods from his house, I
an object which was in itself a hundred-fold more
; beautiful than any other in his possession. In
very truth, a line tree near a house is a much
j greater embellishment than the thickest coat of
paint that could be put on its walls, or a whole
row of wooden columns to adorn its front: nay a
large shady tree in a door-yard is much more
■ desirable than the most expensive mahogany and
■ velvet sofa in the parlor. Unhappily, our peo
ple do not see things in this light. But time is a
very essential element, absolutely indispensible,
indeed, in true civilization, and in the course of
years we shall, it is to be hoped, learn further
i lessons of this kind. Closer observation will re
; veal to us the beauty and excellence of simplicity,
a quality as yettool.ttle valued or understood in
this country. And when we have made this
further progress, then we shall take better care
of our trees. We shall not be satisfied with set
ting out a dozen naked saplings before our door,
because our neighlior on the leftdid so last year,
nor cut down a whole wood within a stone’s
throw of our dwelling to pay for a Brussels car
pet from the same piece as our neighbor’s on the
right: no, we shall not care a stiver for mere show
! and parade, in any shape whatever, but we shall
look to the general proprieties and fitness of
things, whether our neighbors to the right or left
do or not.
“How easy it woutd be to improve most of the i
farms in the country by a little attention to the i
woods and trees, improving their appearance and |
adding to their market value at the same time ? j
, Thinning woods and not blasting them, cleaning ;
only such ground as is marked for immediate til
’ ' lage : preserving the wood, on the hill tops and
rough side hills, encouraging a coppice on this or
that knoll, permitting bushes and young trees to
; grow at will along the brooks and water-courses;
" I sowing, if need be, a grove on the bank of the
’ j pool, such as are found on many of our farms;
i sparing an elm or two about the spring, with a
willow also to overhang the well: planting one
or two chestnuts, or oaks, or beaches, near the
gates or bars: leaving a few others scattered
; about every field to shade the cattle in summer,
■ as is frequently done, and setting out others in
groups, or singly, to shade the house—how little
' would be the labor or expense required to ac
complish all this: and how desirable would be
: the result! Assuredly, the pleasing character
thus given to a farm and neighborhood is far
from beneath the consideration of a sensible man.
"But there is also another view of the subject.
‘ A careless indifference to any good gift of our
> gracious Maker, shows a want of thankfulness, as
■ any abu c e or waste betrays a reckless spirit of
1 evil. It is indeed strange that one. claiming to
• be a rational creature, should not be thoroughly
i ashamed of the spirit of destructiveness, since the
. principle itself is clearly an evil one. Let us re
member it is the Supreme Being who is the Crea
tor. and in how many ways do we see His gra
cious providence. His almighty economy, deign
ing to work progressive renovation in the hum
blest objects where their old forms have become
exhausted by time!
"There is also something in the care of trees
which rise above the common labors of husband
ry, and speaks of a generous mind. We expect
to wear the fleece from our flock, to drink the I
milk of our herds, to feet! upon the fruits of our 1
fields; but in planting a young wood, in presen’- :
mg a fine grove, a noble tree, we look, beyond
I ourselves to the band of household friends, to our ,
j neighbors—aye. to the passing wayfarer and ;
stranger, who will share with ■■ ■> the pleasure i
1 they give, audit becomes a grate!:’ reflection
that long after we are gone, those trees will con
tinue a good to our fellow-creatures for more
years perhaps, than we can tell."

Esq., the sitting magistrate. Enter a Patlander,
with a poll as red as an Alderman's visage, and
which had become ensanguined by a copious dis
charge oozing through a dirty rag tied over a re
cent wound on the scalp. After giving his name
and residence to ‘the Court,’ the following dia
logue took place:
Magistrate. Well, Patrick, what can we do for
you to-day.
Pat. I’d be wanting a warrant, your w orship’s
glory.
Mag. Against whom?
Pat. Agin Barney O'Leary, please your rivi
rince.
Mag. For what?
Pat. For murther, you grace.
Mag. Whom did he murder?
Pat. Murther! Och. the divil a craturbut me
self, your excellency.
Mag. Indeed! Has he really been guilty of
that ?
Pat. By my sowl he has! Bad luck to him !
He has made a hole in my napper big enough to
burry a cat in.
Mag. He has killed you outright, I see.
Pat. Och, sure, it isn't his fault that he hasn’t,
for he intinded it, and nothing surer.
Mag. I suppose an assault warrant will suit
you ? When did he assault you ?
Pat. He ’saulted me last night, about two o’-
clock this morning, your serine highness!
Mag. Did he strike you with a stick?
, Pat. No, my lord, it was a small taste of a
j poker.
, Mag. A poker! What a dreadful murderous
weapon.
Pat. Arrah! sure your holiness, it is indade—
you couldn't spoke truer if you'd did it yourself.
Mag. Where were you when this happened ?
Pat. Where was I! sure 1 was in bed.
Mag. Asleep or awake ?
7’rtZ. As sound as a roach, your Alajesty.
1 Mag. And what provocation had you given
f him ?
Pat. Divil provocation at all, most noble. —
r How could 1 when I was dead drunk asleep?
? Mag. What! do you mean to say he came to
your bedside and struck you in this dreadful man
-1 nor without cause ?
! Pat. A’es, your mightiness—barring he came to
his own bedside, instead < f mine.
Mag. His own bedside! Were you in his bed?
Pat. Faith, you have just guessed it, your rivi
rince.
Mag. And what brought you there?
Pat. That’s more than 1 can tell, your honor
barring it was the liquor.
Mrzg. Was this all you did to provoke his
t I anger i
Pat. Divil a thing else.
Mag. Was there any other person present!
Pat. Not a cratur—independent of hiswi r e,
- i that was in bed with me, your grace.
Mag. His wife! were you in bed with his
j wife ?
Pat. Coorse I was, your worship!
? I Mag. And don't you think you deserved what
. J you got?
Pat. Is it me? Not I, indade; it was all a
mistake.
Afog. Mistake!
Pat. Yes. I thought it was my own wife, in
the dark—l went into the room by a mistake?
JAlm You umst be more careful in future.—

' Pat. Thank your majesty. If he hits me
, again it shall go for something. By my sowl I
will give him a crack that will knock him into
| the middle of next week. So an il legant good
day to your mightiness. Pulling up his un-
i mentionables, he hopped off at an Irish trot.
; it turned out that Paddy went into the bed
unconscious ot where he was, till Barney gave
1 him a gentle hit with the poker, and fortunately
• his skull was thick enough to resist the intended
