The Albatross.
Cheever, In his interesting book, entitled the
, <* island World of ths Peolfio,” gives the following
* description of the Albatross, whioh is well worthy
of perusal:
While off the coast of Patagonia, what tima the
weather would permit, (says Mr. Cheover,) soma
f of the passengers, end the watch on duty, occu
pied themselves in flshiug for albatrosses. They
are caught by baiting a hook with pork or blab
ber, fastening a pioca of wood near the bait, so
that it may be kept floating and letting it tow
astern. The noble birds would wheel and hover
over it, ami at length alight on the water like a
await, and often succeed* in getting ail the bait
without being hooked. But six or seven times
they were taken and haulod aboard, the unsus
pecting hook catching within their long bills.
They measured nine or ten lest across the wings.
The first one was killed and stuffed, to be carried
homo for somo museum. The rest were eaorifioed
for their long bilts, wings, and large web feet.
There was an expression of pathos and intel
ligence about the eye of the first one captured,
that made it seem to me like a sin to take its life.
Could 1 have had my way, that look should have
given it liberty. Tfio capture of a whale, especial
ly on the New' Zealand whaling-gronnd, and still
further south, when eight hundred or a thou sard
miles from laud, will bring multitudes of these
birds trooping from afar, as a carcase in Mexico
or Louisiana will tho turkey-buzzards. I have
watched them singly keeping company with the
whip for days together—the last living thing with
out us, to be seen at nightfall, and the first the eye
recognized again and saluted in the morning.—
Again, 1 have seen them gather by hundreds
* when the cutting-in of a whale alongside allured

bird sits upon the water light and graceful
asa swan i add I have often seen it dive under
kT like a hawk or pelioan, for something discovered
L II by its keen eye beneath the surface. When it
| wishes to rise on the wing it haa to tread water a
long way like a running ostrich, before it oan soar
■ . lott; but once fairly up, and its pinion* free, it
cleaves the air wit it exceeding swiftness and skims
r the waves like tho smallest swallow with incon-
ease and grace.
An anonymous writer, who must have seen the
mT bird in its uattvo seas, says that it flies against, is
f~ well as before the wind, and hovers around a ship
at sea, never outstriped by its speed. “It enjoys
tbe calm.” he says, “ and sports in the sunbeams
on the glassy wave; but it revela in the storm,
and darts its arrowy way before the fury of the
gale, it seems to be tbeu in its element, mocking
the surges to the heavy eea, and breasting the
tempest’s blast, its flight has not leas sublimity per
haps, than that of the eagle darting upwaid to the
4 skies. It is a beatttiftil sight to behold th a noble
bird sailing in the air in light and graceful move
ments. After the flret muscular exertion which
gives impulse to it* flight, its wings are always
expanded, like the sails of a ahip, and ahow no
moth n, a- it it were wafted on by some invisible
power. It is from this cause that it sustains nn
tired its long and distant flight acroaa the eea. It
feeds on small marine animals, the spawn of fiah,
blubber, and articles'of that sort."

which God had endowed him were not abased or
laid away in a napkin, but were declined to shed
upon the world a copious stream of wisdom, leain

From the Savannah Morning Xxun.
Arrival of the Coaway—Late from Kingston.
The Royal Mail steam packet Conway, Captain
Thos. W. Sawyer, arrived on Saturday afternoon
from Cliagres, Ac. She left Jamaica in tho 24th
Inst., at 8 a. m.; Inagua on the 26th, at 2 a. m. and
Nassau on tho 28th, a. m. The steamer had lino
weather throughout the passage. She brought 26
passengers.
The American steamer La Paraguay, Capt. Bald
win, U. 8. N., one week from Charleston, bound
to Monte Video, put into Kingston, Jamaica on
the 24tn, oonaigued to Hitchiugs A Co., for 40 tons
ooal. The Paraguay had experienced heavy weather,
crow and passengers all well. This is tho steamer
whioh left Now York for South America, and-put
Into Charleston, some time since for ropairs.
The papers oontain vory little news of interest.
There is evidently much discontent in the Islands,
in consequence of the ruinous policy of the Home
and Coloniitl Governments. The planters, first,
ruined by the manumission of their slaves, are now
taxed beyond their means to support tiio agents of
tho Government by which they have been depriv
ed of tho labor neecssary to make their estutes pro
ductive. The free uegro population is fast relaps
ing into barbarism, and becoming a burden to
their lormer masters. The removul of the whole
some restraints of tho former system, by which
tho African race oan alone be made useful to the
community or themselves, has demoralized tho
onoe valuable laboring class, while it has hud the
effect to make the more recent importations under
the apprentice system utterly worthless and a nui
ssnoe ou tho soil. A writer in the Kingston Colo
nial Standard aaya:
The old Jamaica negroes, whether Creoles or
Gnineas, are still the best of the present negro
imputation, bocauso they came into the world, or
into that island, when there was a good example of
ordar, industry and obedience before them, which
they were compelled to follow if not spontaneously
induced to do so. The numerous Guinea negroes
imported since mistaken British philanthropy inado
tho lowest grade of human nature—African sava
ges and their descendants—free to bo the jndgos
of what is best for themselves, and Jamuicu, free
to elect the honorable members to the honoruble
House of Assembly, have had no good example to
follow; they have beenfiubjeoted to no useful re
straints—they have, on tho contrary, been taught
to believe, or at least, to maintain, thoy have
no Massa but God Almighty—taught to ox
tort high wages for nnprofitublo work, to wander
abont from one ostato to another, and to follow tho
naturai propensities of savages to steal rather than
work to earn an honest livelihood. Thoy have not
sense to see it is the interest of all to ondeavor to
let sugar estates go on and proaper; nor are those
who exhort them not to lift a hoe uuder half a dol
lar, entitled to more honesty though they should
have more sense. Os all John Bull’* blunders,
none are worso than tho absurd fallacy, that whut
is good for the goose in Englund must be
good for the gander iuJ umaica, or in in other
words, that laws, manners, customs and reli
gion, good in England, at one period of tho
world, must be applicable to all raocH, in all por
tions of tho globe, at ono and tho same time.—
This had been a sad blunder—it had been tho ruin
of Jamaica and other West India Colonies; it has
lost our old American Colonies, and wilf probably
lead to the loss of the remainder.
Arctic Diet.
The seoond Grinnell Expedition, which is soon
to leave our shoros, takes with it an admirably sys
tematised diotary—the result, evidently, of much
careful study.
For long maroheß, whore tho labor of carriage
requires the greatest economy in weight, a con
densed and portable food becomes of paramount
importance. Until very lately tho rifle was tho
larder ot the frontiersman, bnt we are now in tho
midst of a great exodus. Men. women and child
ren, strike ont in the Western deserts, mid the vast
intor-apaoe between our Atlantioand Pacific civil
izations, ie a mass of moving life. Wo think that
a valuable praotical lesson might bo taught to such
emigrants, by the preparations of this little Arctic
-7. devoted a morning to an inspection of their
resources. Thoy toko out with them tho meat bis
cuit of Borden, the dosicoated vegetables of Clio
let, tho impacted milk oake of the Messrs. Abbatt,
and tho Pemioan of tho Indian voyageurs.
The meat bnisenit has, after-careful experiment,
been adoptod by Dr. Kane for his sledge journeys.
It combines the essential elements of flour mid
beef, and alx onucen a day have been proved to be
snffloient to sustain life, whilo in active exercise.
Sir Lyon Playfair, who analysed this artiolo at the
World’s Fair, reports in unqualified terms us to its
value. Tho vogetablos aro driod by rapidly chang
ing atmospheres, and oompresßed by hydraulic
power so as to ocoupy an inooneeivably small bulk.
The milk, whioh ie destined to do away with pas
senger cows, was as hard as a brick-bat, but with
tho aid of a little water, was hardly distinguishable
from breakfast oroam.
Bnt tha groat stand-by, tha sheet anchor of Arc
tlo voyagers, was the Pemican. All our Northern
Indian tribes, but especially the Creea and Cliip
powayans, use thja preparation for thoir long
marches. It consists of the pounded meats of the
moose or buffalo, oarcfully died by fire and sun,
and incorporated with fat or marrow. The word
Ptmis, whioh, in the Aigonquin, signifies grease,
ia probably the origin of the term.
The Pemioan of tho American expedition was
prepared on a largo scale from bcof, and in its man
ufacture we were muoh interested..
We were shown into a large kiln of some twen
ty-five feet square, heated to a temperature of a
ijout 140 degroca Fahrouhoit, aud completely filled
with beaf ste-ks. No less than 4,000 ibs. of caro
flilly out ramp pieces wero strung npon woodeu
frames, and undergoing the process of drying.
The steak, when dried to one fourth of its origiual
weight, was ground to the size of pounded hom
mouy, and then mixed with an equal weight of
pare lard.
Tho whole process was superintended by Mr.
Borden—the inventor of the meat busouit—who
had been selected by Mr. Grinnell to carry out his
instructions. Wo were told that four thousand
pound of meat and ono of lard would make about
two thousand of this concentrated diet,and that tho
seal* of Dr. Kane’s rations for his final sledge jour
nsy over the Polar ice, would be limited to two
pounds per man per diem of this novel compound
of beef and grease.
Well ae this was adapted to its purpose, those of
ns “ who live at home at ease,” could not help be
ing impressed with the privations of men who,
dragging thsir sledges over a wilderness of ice,
have but this homely mixture to sustain their en
ergies and prepare them for tho labors ahead.
Great ortdit is due to Dr. Kane for his skilfnl ex
ertions in this matter. — X. T. Jour. Corn.
Latkk prom Texas,— By the arrival of the steam
ship l*onisiana, we have Galveston papers to the
86th in»t., inclusive, and papers of late date from
tbe interior of Texas.
The Galveston papers give accounts of the fes
tival at the opening of the first five miles of tbe
liamaburg Railroad on the 21st inst. Our Texas
friends who wore present appear to have bad a
pleasant time. There was a substantial barbecue
and plenty of good cheer, to which all hands did
full justice, after pa-sing over the road in cars
drawn by the lomotive “Gen. Shermau,” so
called in honor of the brave man who commanded
the Texan Cavalry at San Jacinto, and who is also
at th* head *f the railroad enterprise. After
speeches by Jndge F. M. Gibson, tien. McLeod,
the lion. Ashbel Smith and others, some ot the
company enjoyed the pleasures of the dance, and
then the assemblage numbering some five hundred
persons, departed highly pleased with the day’s
enjoyment. Railroad transportation has now be
come a fixed fact in Texas.

A Paikt for Brice Houses.—A correspondent of
the Ohio Fanner has used a cheap and very dura
ble paint for the interior of brick dwellin s, which
hae already stood several years, and is now quite as
fresh as when first applied. It consists simply of
lima wash with sulphate o' rinoasa fixing ingre
dient. Any requisite shade is given by adding
the colors used bv house painters. A clear rich
cream oolor may be obtained by applying yellow
will be added by a little \ enetian red. Burnt si

cheaper than oil paint, and coats but little more
than common whitewash.^

The Crystal Palace.
I This great enterprise ie being poshed forward
with unflagging energy, and there is no doubt will
I be completed by the first of J one. Fonr hundred
! men are constantly employed on the structure an
| der the direction of Mr. J. E. Detmold, saperin
j tending engineer. The New Yoik Journal of
' Commerce says—
With the exception of the dome, the iron work
of this portion is now very near completion, end
the Crystal Palace begins to develop, in it* stately
proportions, the design originally conceived by its
projector. Tlie interior present* a labyrinth of
pillars, rods, ropes and timbers, with men tbickiy
scattered, and making the air resound with tho
cla’ter, clang *ud creaking of their implements.—
Curious visitor* are excladed by * wooden enclo
sure, with g»tc keepers, but the vicinity i* doily
visited by increasing numbers. The summit of
the Reservoir is the favorite look-out place. On
Thursday lost, it is estimated, not less than s,iOj
persons visited the Reservoir to avail themselves
of the prospect there afforded. A large number
of strangers are already attracted to the city by
tlie presence of the Palace.
The entire building is ready to be roofed, except
ing the dome • the glazing of the first story is nearly
finished, and that of the second haa been com
menced ; the roof of one section has been put on,
and the floor of the second story has been laid as
far ns the roofing extends. The dome, which is
100 feet in diameter, will be supported by 24 iron
column*. Immediately over these is placed an
iron trussing, made to sustain a massive cost iron
bed plate, on which rest the 82 ribs of the dome.
The trn-sing and bed plate are now being adjust
ed, and but a few day*, perhaps a week, will be
required to pat the dome in place, after these are
arranged. This done, the main floor will be
speedily laid down, the arrangement of goods com
mence. and the aspect of things be materially
changed. The sides of the dome will display 82
escutcheons, in colored glass, representing the
United States coat of arms, and those of other
nations.
The floor-timbers and roof boards are the only
part that will be of wood, and to render loss by
fire impossible, there are 16 hydrants on the lower
floor and the same number above. Ti e quantity
of iron used in the construction of the whole build
ing will be nearly 1,400 tons. The cast iron gir
ders or beams, supporting the floor-timbers, have
each been tested for the support of 15 tons, bnt
are capable of supporting 85 tons withont break
ing. llie greatest weight that can be put on any
one of them is 7 tons. The floor-boards are pnt
together with small crevices, to facilitate sweep
ing. There will be 4 spacious entrances to tne
building, each having 2 flights of iron stairs lead
ing to the galleries. The stairs arealready in their
place. The galleries, which are 54 feet wide, con
tain 62,000 square feet, or about one acre and a
half; and the ground floor 111,000 aqnare feet, or
about two acres and a halt, making a total area of
178,000 square feet, or nearly four acres.
The extreme length of the structure, or of eaeh
of the arched naves forming the transverse sec
tions of the cross, is 865 feet; its height, from the
ground to tho crown of the arch, is 67 feet, or to
the crown of the dome 118 feet, and to the crown
of the lantern, surmounting the dome, 149 feet.
Ventilation is amply provided for in every part.
On each floor there are 372 cast iron ventilators,
arranged to admit or exclnde air, as may be de
sired, besides ventilators near the roof on every
side.
The glass used is made to appear as if ground,
by a peculiar process, to subdue the light. It ib
covered with a vitreous enameling, which is ap
plied in the form of a paste, aud made to adhere to
the glass when in s fused state. This obviates the
use of a cloth covering, such as was used on the
London palace.
The construction of the New-York palace re
flects honor on Mr. Detmold who devised and ex
ecuted the plans on which it is built. In point of
symmotry it is considered as surpassing its Lon
don progenitor. As the various and almost innu
merable parts were made in a half dozen different
States, employing eight different founderies, it is
no easy matter to ensure accuracy in their con
struction, so that ail shall exactly fill the place for
whioh they were designed. Notwithstanding this
difficulty, comparatively little detention has been
experienced from this source. Tho palace will
cost about $300,000.
A greut quantity of goods designed for exhibi
tion nave already arrived from abroad, and aro
stored in the U. S. bonded warehouses. Over
4000 applications from exhibitors have been re
ceived from this country alone, whilo those from
Europe number about 3000, of whioh 700 are from
England, 800 from Germany, and 500 from France.
We learn that so restricted are the limits available
for exhibitors compared with the demand, that it
has been determined to construct other buildings
without the Palace, as a means of relief. The
boilers with which to drive the machinery, are six
in nntnbor, and 40 feet in length, placed in a build
ing distinct from the palace. The latter will be
enclosed with a suitable railing.
The Observatory, Large Telescope, &<s. —A
mushroom city has sprung up in the neighborhood
of the palace, comprising about a dozen hotels of
various descriptions, catch-penny shows, a great
number of temporary wooden structures intended
for refreshment saloons, stnros, drinking-shops,
Ac., besides dwellings intended for boarding
houses. For such as aro eligibly situated, tho most
extruvngantrents are reudily obtained. One small
wooden structure, 20 by 80 feet, rents for SIOOO per
annum ; but tho occupant receives more than this
amount by leasing out liis stoop and the protection
of his awning, for apple and soda stands.
Tho most conspicuous object, aside from the
Ptilace, is tho “ Lutting Observatory,” so called
from the name of its projector. It will be 75 feet
diameter at, the base, and 350 feet in height, built
of timber, bolted in the strongest manner. The
Grand Jury have pronounced it perfectly secure.
At the distances of about 100, 200 aud 800 feet
from tho base will bo landings, with look-out
places, to which passengors will bo olevuted by a
steam car. At the highest will be placed a tele
scope of great power, and which, wo are informed,
will be the largest in the country, with a 16 inch
glass, or u glass ono inch larger in diameter than
tho Cambridge telescope. Tho glass is being
manufactured in Europe, aud until that is com
pleted, a tun inch glass will be used. The instru
ment, will cost about $22,000. At the lower land
ings tho vision will bo aided by achromatio tele
scopes, with four inch openings. The view com
manded will bo very extensive. From the second
binding the ascent will bo by means of a spiral
stairwuy. Mr. Barnum is not connected with this
enterprise, as has been reportod. Tho Observato
ry will cost about $75,000.
Next to this may be mentioned s machine with
long revolving arms, to tho end of which are at
tached large wooden boxes. It is proposed to
whirl pooplo around in these boxes, elevating them
eighty feet from the ground. Terms, “one shil
ling for three turns, or sixpence for one.”
Close by is a circular railroad, inclosed in a
woodon building and covorod with canvas. Peo
pie will here bo tnrned around till satisfied. At a
short distance is Corporal Thompson’s large cir
cus, nearly completed; also, one or two panora
mic exhibitions, a largo ice-house, Ac. Ac. The
American flag is seen displayed from the most of
these structures. A golden harvest is anticipated.

Though quick tempered, lie was ono of the host

At the clone of a rainy clay, he was milkingnpon

consideration of his ngual quiet disposition, was
allowed to run with the cows. The deacon was

the ram, obeyinga sudden impulse to bo aggressive

Mutiny. —YVo observed, on Wednesday, a body
of somo twenty sailors on their way to the Peni
tentiary, having been convicted by the U.S. Dis
trict Court, of mutiny on a ship In Mobile Bay.
It seems that they wanted a “ lnrk,” as ia usual
with “Jack Tars,” laying in sight of shore, after
having been long at sea. They were not allowed
to land, and kicked np a fuss, and made a “ gen
eral mass all round, took possession of the ship,
Ac., and deposed tho officers, Ao. Their convic
tion was, of course, just, as stern necessity re
quires, for eommoroial safety, perfect discipline,
it was, however, a sad matter to see snoh a oody
of hale, jovial, genuine “old salts” going to felon’s
colls, in an Inland towu, without a chance to get a
snuff of the briny air which constitutes tho life
and joy of a sailor’s nostrils. It is however, a
stern necessity, as we said before, though the
emeute was not so much the fault of the great body
of the honest Jacks, as of a few ringleaders.—
These have been committed for five years; the
others, we believe, for one year on\y.—Montgomery

A Splendid Floral Experiment J. Fisk Allen,
Esq., of this city, whoso success in the culture or
the grape, and many rare varieties of fruit, has
been so distinguished, is now engaged in the de
velopment of a floral wonder, which haa reaohed
such an advanced stage as to promise the most
satisfactory result. This is no less an experiment
than an attempt to raise the magnifloent Viotoria
Regia, (Regina, or Regalia) the Queen of the water
Lilies, which was discovered in South Amerioa in
1837, by Dr. Robert H. Scbomburgh, and was only
successfully flowered in England in 1848, after re
peated failures to introduoe it.
In this country the plant first flowered at Phila-.
delphia, and has been introduced only into one or
two other places. Thanks to tho enterprise, en
thusiasm and skill of Mr. Allen, our florists may
now hope to behold the wonder in all its magnifi
cence.
Mr. Allen’s Grapery is one of the notabilities of
our region. It comprises the choicest varieties,
and is capable of yielding from 6 to 10,004 pounds
of grapes per annum, and of producing fruit at all
seasons. For fifty consecutive months ripe clus
ters have been hanging from the vines in some of
his extensive range, and they may now be eeen iu
all stages, from the incipient blossom to tho mature
fruit. Peaches nearly ripe, cherries, oranges, lem
ons and other rare exotics, in various periods of
advancement, also hang, in tempting luxuriance,
from well trained and skilfully tended branches,

Col. T. Edwin' Ware.—We have the pleasure of
announcing to the friends of Col. Ware that he
received, lost Sunday morning, from his Excellen
cy, Gov. Manuing, a free and full pardon, but that
he instantly paid ov« r to the Clerk' of the Court the
fine of (500, imposed on him by his honor Judge
Withers. His Exoellency enclosed the pardon to
Mrs. Ware, and wrote her a very kind letter in re
ply to the one she wrote him in favor of her hus
band. It will be remembered that Mrs. Ware was
the only child of the deceased, Capt. Adam Jones.
We have no doubt that the Colonel will, iu the
beautiful language ofiiis Excellency, repay his af
fectionate and devoted wife iu love ana increased
kindness for al! the affliction and sorrow he may
have caused her by his recent misfortune, which
no one can feel so deep’y as himself The coming
of a wife, with a pardon in her hand, under the
great seal of the State, to release from prison her
husband, aiid oarry him home once more to his
children eoanerseff, was an interesting spectacle,
and appropriate to woman’s misssion on earth.—
The short sojourn of Col. Ware in prison (one
week,) was made, by the kind attentions and visits
of his friends, as pleasant as it well cofild be.—
It very often happens that a man does not know
how much he is cared for and respected, till mis
fortune overtakes him and developes the true feel

A Crßiocs Relic. —Dr. Craven, who has just
returned from a professional tonr in North Caro

and winding sheet, taken from the body of a corpse
thought to he an Indian Girl. The body is in a
perfect state of preservation; the flesh very tough
and free from taste or smell, and perfectly hard;
the feathers were used as outeide covering; the
bark canvass was second, and enveloped the deer
skins which covered the body. The body, when
found, supposed to be in the same state as others
found shortly alter the flood.
Tins specimen was received from Dr. John D.
Mclane of Lineoln county, N. C., a portion ofthe
euare relic was procured by his father, Dr. Wm.
McLane, in Middle Tennessee, in the year 1600 or

The body was found in a cane coffin, with the
legs cut off at the knees, and placed on the breast.
Dr. Craven, who nas the specimen, has seen the

there is a peculiarity in the feathers, not yet classi

| vesterday Mr. Whittle*?, First Comptroller of the
Treasury, McKean, special disburser of monies for
bringing on witnesses in this Case, and Zantzinger,
Disbursing Agent of the State Department, were
called to prove the amount paid witnesses for the
prosecution, the object being to show that the
ainonnts were so large aa to inhneoce the minds of
the witnesses, and that it was paid without authori
ty of law. The teetimouy was mostly objected to
and the day oonsumed in argument. Tip Coart
decided it was partially admissible.
Hou. Frauds Burt, of South Carolina, was yes
terday sworn, and entered on hia duties o Third
Auditor,
Washington, April 15.— The trial ot Dr. Gardi
ner was resumed this morning. Col. J. C. Pickett
testified that be hes known George A. Gardiner
four years, and has seen him write. The signature
on the Morelian mining papers resembles his. Is
better acquainted with tha writing of J. Carlos
Gardiner.
District Attorney Feudal!, oalled by the defence,
testified to having paid witnesses from Mexico
mileage both ways, and per diem while here, as
well as family expenses while absent, pnrsoant to
an arrangement of Minister Letcher, and with
the approval of the President, viz:—Aqniilar
$410; Togno $1,470; Wright sß*; Navarro’s ex
penses for himself and clerk $492.
Marshal Wallech testified that he raid Wright
last September $109; N. E. Smith S6O; and at De
cember term Jones $211: Wright $174, Bower
$174; Lewis $189; also their per diem for the
present term.
John Charles Gardiner wss called tnd testified
to having visited Laguinillss in November, 1851,
and obtained the copy ot Geo. A. Gardiner’s title
deed, which was shown him and identified. He
saw the Alcade sign it, and also testified to a copy
of a petition to the Alcade in the witnesses’ own
hand, requesting said copy. Ho went to the Kio
Verde in the same month, and procured a certifi
cate of the prefect of the deed. His first visit to
the city of Kio Verde was in the latter part of
1844, end again in tho middle of 1845, and again
in the summer of 1846. Then again iD September
of tho same year. He again passed through Kio
Verde in the latter part of November 1846. Re
collected it because Santa Anna had prohibited
any person leaving that place without a passport
from himself. Witnessed passport was dated
November; was shown him and identified. He
learned dentistry in Havana, and practised it in
various parte of Mexico. He was in Guanajuata,
first in September and October, 1844, and again
in the Fall of 1845. He identified letters received
there and addressed to John C. Gardiner, dated
and post-marked Vers Crux, August, 1845. His
sign there was inscribed “J. C. Gardiner, Oiru
jano dentitta," which was shown and identified.
The witness from thence went to Guadalajara
and practised dentistry with hia brother's license.
Whilst there he performed the operation on alady,
which witness for the C. States bad attributed to
George A. Gardiner. He stopped two weeks at
Guadalajara, and in January, 1846, he went to M&
xatlan, on the Pacific. He stopped eleven days,
and went across the mountains to Durango. He
identified letters recoived there and addressed to
J. C. Gardiner, dated and poet-marked Vera Cruz,
Jan. 1846. He thenoe went to Bombreta, and
finally back to Mazatlan in the spring of 1846. He
saw several vessels in the port at the time, which
appeared to be American vessels. Several officers
were introduced to him. He took his meals at a
refeotory, and thinks that he dined once at Mott,
Talbott & Co.’s. He does not remember meeting
Capt. Mattox there or seeing him until he reached
Washington. He did not remember seeing Bowes
at the restaurant.
Witness never went up totheGulfof California,
bat remembered conversing at Mazatlan about go
ing to South Americ to vet goods. A gentleman
from Cuavamas wanted them landed at Guayamas
instead of Mazatlan because they could be smug
gled in there. He went next to Tepid, and from
thence to Guadalajara in the latter part of May,
1846. He fixes the date by the pronunci-mento is
sued just before. He stopped a day or two, and
then went to the State of San Louis Potosi. He
there heard of the war breaking out, and thinks it
was in June. The Mexicans said they bad fought
with the American troops under Taylor and de
feated them.
Witness first practised dentistry in the city of
Mexico in 1844, at the house of Dr. Segur. He af
terwards, in July, 1844, went to Morelia. He stated
that at this limo he was 29 years old, and had fre
quently been mistaken for George A. Gardiner in
Washington and Mexioo.
The object of the defenoe was to show that the
witnesses tor the United States had mistook John
Charlßß for George A. Gardiner. The witness upon
his oross examination was asked who was with him
in Morelia, which was objected to, argued and
ruled out. The Court then adjourned.
Washington, April 26.—The day has been occu
pied in a close cross examination of John Charles
Gnrdiner. A letter in Spanish, signed John Chas.
Gardiner, addressed to the AJcade of Eio Verde,
being shown, he said that the signature resembled
his, but he thought that the body of the letter was
not in his hand. He had no recollection of the
Alcade’s name or his reply. Sworn translations
of these letters were read to the Jury.
Washington, April 27.—1 n tin Gardiner case to
day, most of the time was occupied in discussing
the admissibility of testimony to prove J. G. Gar
diner’s age. Tiie registry of his birth was admit
ted which makoß him 29. The defence having
closed, the prosecution proceeded with rebutting
testimony. Col. Lorenzo Thomas was sworn, and
Identified the letters exhibited yesterday fifteen in
number, as being in the handwriiing of J. C. Gar
diner.
The letters were handed to the counsel for the
defence for examination, but their contents have
not transpired. Quite a sensation was produced
by the exhibition of Senor Aguilar’s bill at Wil
lard’s, amounting to (2842 for 18 days board, in
cluding a very liberal allowanoe of the choicest ci
gars, all of which weie paid by the Government.
This is the witness of whom it was proved, that
he had been offered fifteen thousand dollars to
testify for the Government, and who afterwards
proposed to sell himself to Gardiner first for (20-
000 and thon for (8,000. The interest in the case
increases.
Washington, April 28.—The Court met this
morning, and was about to proceed with the Gar
diner trial, when it was ascertained that one of the
jurors was too sick to remain in attendance. The
Court accordingly adjourned over to Monday,deem
ing a few days recess absolutely necessary for all
concerned.
Agricultural Exports from Ohio In 1853.
Mr. Mansfield, in a number of the Railroad
Record has taken pains to ascertain the amount of
agricultural products exported from Ohio in one
year, aud has given his roaders a very interesting
article on tho subjoct, from which we gather what
follows :
Ohio has in progress of construction the largest
extent of railway, and also the largest amount of
surplus produoe to cany off. No other State com
pares with her in this respect. Take the following
general fact in advanoe. In 1851 her wheat crop,
in round numbers (whioh wsb carried off in 1852)
amounted to thirty-fit* millions ofbualuU. This
was about one-fourth of the entire amount raised
in the whole Union. Tho Stnte contains two mil
lions of people, and their consumption of bread
stuffs was therefore twenty millions of bushels,
and the surplus twenty-three million. By the ac
tual exports wo reaoh the following result of the
year’s operations;
W heat crop of 1851, 85,000,000 bushels.
Export to Ist Ootober, 1852, 19,000,000 ««
Consumption, 12,000,000 <•
Remaining on hand, 8,400,000 ' “
About ten per cent, of the orop of 1851 remained
on hand for the next year. From Toledo consid
erable amounts of wheat and flour produced in In
diana are oxported. Allow 1,600,000 bushels for
this, and tho actual export of Ohio, of the crop of
1851 was eighteen millions of bushels. The Uni
ted States Treasuy Reports show that the entire
export from the United States of wheat and flour
to foreign ports was much less than the export of
those articles from the State of Ohis! In other
words, Ohio supplies all the breadstuff's exported
from the United States to all the world, and a por
tion of that consumed North and South besides.—
Nor is this all. Ohio exports more agricultural
products and manufactures from agricultural pro
ducts, than is oxported from the whole United
States with the exception only of cotton and
tobacco!
“It comes to this, then, that though other West
ern States sent muoh produce to the Atlantic, yet,
if the exports of Ohio were taken out, or destroyed
there would not be one bushel of breadstuff’s or
pound of meats to send abroad. This then, settles
one point, that Ohio stands alone, in regard to the
Union, as the great producer of snrplusses for
foreign markets.’’ The Record gives tables to show
that general result, whioh will be found nearer
the exact truth than is usually found in such ta
bles. We copy the Cincinnati table:

Miscellaneous.. 500,000
Manufactured articles from products of
agriculture 8,00 ),000
Aggregate value, $40,216,786
This is supposed to be rather below than above
the amount. This export is a surplus of our pro
ductions, above the wants of the State and there
fore in regard to the State a dear profit. If we
suppose the landed property in Ohio to be worth
five hundred millions, which is not far from the
value, the nett profit on it, shown by this export of
surplus, was eight per cent. In addition to thia,
the firmer and family receive their support, rents,
dtc., so that the actual profit ou money invested
in good farming land considerably exceeds 8 per
cent.
The following is the statement of agricultural
exports from the United States for the year end
ing June 80, 1852:
Products of Animals .*.... $7,899,655
Vegetable fbod 16,877,844
Manufactures ot Soap, Candles, Leather,
Boots, Shoes and Furniture 1,784,821
Total $26,012,820
The exports (as above) from Ohio exceed those
of the whole Union to foreign countries, (of those
articles) full 50 per cent!
The forty mUUone of dollars received in 1852, by
Ohio, for her products is almost entirely added to
her oapital and will represent the year’s increase
is the aotua) value of property. Snch a State,
while such a state of things continues, is in the
highest state ot commercial prosperity.

Inst.
The British Funds on the 15th were very anima
ted, and the defeat of Ministers on the advertise
ment duty ha* not occasioned any fall in prices,
j although it may have repressed the rising tenden
cy. The belieftlia! Mr. Gladstone will yield with
a good grace, is probably or.e cause ot the support
given to the market, but there are also other cir
cumstances which have their weight.
The following were the latest quotations receiv
ed by telegraph from Continental Bourses :
I’abis.—The French Funds to-day were very
dull, and prices declined. The Three per Cents
for cash fell cls, and the Fonr and-a-Half per
Cents c 10. For the account the Three percents
fell c 5, but the Foor-and-a-hall percents roeeo 5.
At the close of the market prices stood thus: Three
per Cents, for cash, fSO.SO; Fonr and-a-half per
Cents, f 108.15. For the account: Three per Ceuta,
fB0.8o; Four-and-a-haif per Cents, f 102.20; Bank
stock, 2742.
The Railroad market, influenced by the Funds,
was also rather flat. Northerns fell fl and Stras

The London Money Market continues to be plen
tifully supplied, and transactions on the Stock Ex
change are at 1% to 2 per cent. The abundance of
capital has given birth to numerous schemes lor
its employment, and almost daily new under
takings are announced, whose character is as
various as are the localities to which the under
takings have reference. Their extent ranges from
millions of pounds to a few thousands, and while
some are of s most beneficial public nature, others
are of quite a private character; but all are held
out to oe most safe and profitable investments,
and the shares of money are at a low figure. Fore
most among these projects stands the Grand Trnnk
Railway Company of Canada, whose prospectus
was issued the other day. The object of this com
pany is to malgamate, in accordance with the de
sire of the local government, all the railways at
present existing in Canada to form one grand
tiunk line of 964 miles in length, with a combined
capital of £9,500,000. The estimated probable
revenue of the entire undertaking is £549,696,
which is equal to per cent, on the share capi
tal. Another of the new undertakings is the
Oriental Gas Company, formed with the object of
introducing gas into India and other eastern de
pendencies, commencing with Calcutta, Madras
and Bombay. Tho capital is £50,000 only, in
shares of £1 each. According to tho estimates of
the projectors considerable rateß of profit are cal
culated on. Then there are companiesannounoed
for working new minesof silver, tin, and copper;
all of which schemes are not importune at the
C resent time when money is plentiful and likely to
ecome more bo. But they have had unfavorable
influence on existing undertakings; however as
regards the Calfomia Companies, the advioes re
ceived in the beginning of the week favorably
affected their projects. The proposition of the
Turkish Government to pay oil the instalment on
tho loan with a bonus for interest, and premium
equal to about £3 Bs. on every bond, has been ac
cepted by the bondholders, who are in general
pleased with the arrangement. The state of trade
in the manufacturing districts is on tho whole
satisfactory. Producers are generally pretty free
from stock, andlfairly supplied with contracts. The
flannel markets are good both as regards demand
and price; so in the wool marts. Despits the se
rious detention of ships at Australia, the trade be
tween this country and the East, including the
gold regions, daring tho first quarter of tho pres
ent year, has increased to a great extent over the
same period of last year.
The exports and emigration from English ports
to Australia do not diminish. We find that the
departures from London alone for the Australian
colonies were, viz:—For Port Philip, 8; for Syd
uey, 5; for Adelaide, 2; for Hobart Town, 1; and
for Swan River 1. The total tonnage, 7,751, with
a tendency to decline in the rates of freight.
The activity prevailing in the various branches
of trado in Great Britain is fully exhibited and con
firmed by the Railway returns, which we may con
sider a correct index to the condition of business
generally.

A good deal of attention has been excited at the
London Stock Board by the appearance on the
market of tho North of Spain Railway. A dispo
sition was shown to receive the project with favor,
but dealings are checked by the conviction that
the Stock Exchange Committee, under present cir
cumstances, will not deviate from the very proper
coarse of refusing to allow of the official marking
of any stock that enjoys a guarantee from Spain.
A settling day, however, will doubtless be granted,
as in the ease of the Ebro Canal Company. As a
test of the credit of Spain, the reception given te
this railway is regarded with a good deal of inter
est. It is very justly argued that if capitalists are
disposed to consider the projected Spanish loan a
“ good thing,” the lailway ought to boa far better
one, inasmuch as it possesses several advantages
not derivable from tho loan. One of these is the
collateral guarantee afforded by the municipalities
and communes through which the line passes: and
another consists in the fact that the capital, re
ceived as a loan to the government, is further se
cured upon the railway'itself, which is a trunk line,
withontcompetition, and supported by the gov
ernment and court party.
Large shipments of coin still oontinue from Lon

The Chaplain on board the U. S. ship Congress,
in the river Platte, relates the following incidents
in a letter to the N. Y. Commercial:
A company of foreigners, principally Sardinians
and Basques, umounting to two or three hundred,
celled the “ Italian band,” are enlisted in the ser
vice ofthe city of Bnenos Ayres. At a sortie, a
company of the outsiders planned an ambush for
this band, but witli so liitle success as to be them
selves entrapped by them in a narrow lane with
high walls on either side. The captain ofthe Ital
ians demanded the surrender by a subaltern sent
to them ; but, in place of complying, the messen
ger was fired on, when the whole number, amount
ing to twenty-seven were immediately put to tho
sword.
This same Captain, or Neopolitan count, impli
cated in the republican movements in Naples in
1848, and in exile on that account, made a narrow
escape a few mornings before the incident jnst
stated. In a foraging excursion, ho fell into an
ambush and was cut off from his command. In an
attempt to rejoin it, he was so closely pursued as
to be seized by the skirts of his coat, and thus to
become neaily unhorsed. The cloth, however,
gave way, and regaining his seat, he had tirno to
draw a revolver and to fire over his shoulder be
hind the third ball briuging his pursuer to the
ground. As he reached his troop in saftey, those
who had been chasing him, shouted that it was
well for him that he had made his escape, for had
he been caught, they would have served him as
he had seen them serve a countryman of his,
taken by them a few days before. And how do
you think that was! By laying him with outspread
limbs, on the ground—binding him firmly with
thongs of green hide, by the wrists and ancles to
four horses, and then starting them on the full
spring in as many directions, tearing him alive
into quarters.
Can this be believed, as having occurred in the
middle ofthe 19th century, within sight of Buenos
Ayres, a civilized and Christian city of 120,000 in
habitants! Yet it is unquestionably true, if cre
dence can bo given to the declaration of unpreju
diced eye-witnesseß of respectability and official po
sition.
A Profitablix Invention. —Just after the intro
duction of gas into the city of Lowell, Dr. Walter
Kidder, a talented young physician, who was en
joying quite a share ot practice, constructed an
apparatus for regulating the burning of this new
light. The apj aratus was based oq pvrely scien
tific principles, and by means of it the supply of
gas to the burner was uniform aud steady, how
ever heavv aud fluctuating the pressure might be
from streets. With ordinary burners, the amount
of gas burned depends entirely on the pressure
from the works. Five thousand burners would
consume much less gas in proportion with the
same pressure from the gas-works than one thou
sand would, and, therefore, when a large portion
of the lights were extingu-lied, those remaining
would consume much more than was needed,
while still a large quantity of the gas would escape
from the burner nnconsumed.
This trouble with the doctor’s gas first led to the
construction of the regulator. Tne doctor obtained
a pater.t for his arrangement, and without its ex
citing much notice a_mong us, he has succeeded in
aisposing of it to a N. York company for the pretty
little sum of SIOO,OOO. This may seem quite a large
sum, but when we tell our readers that the regu
lator, by actual test, has been found to make a sav
ing of 25 per cent, to consumers, and that in al
most every city and many villages of the United
States, gas is used, it will not seem so dispropor
tionate a sum as at the first look. Little things
sometimes prove of great advantage.— LoweU Am.

Mbs. Pabtjxgton at the Opera I can’t catch
the malady 1” said Mrs. Partington, at the opera as
she stood upon tip-toe in the lobby of the Howard
Atbeneum, in vain attempting to look over the
heads before her. She had received a ticket but
it bad secured nothing but an outside position, and
she had gone wandering round like a jolly planet,
without any particular orbit. Ike was in the gal
lery eating a penny’s worth of peanuts, and throw
ing the shells into the parquet below. “I can’t
catch the malady of the uproar, and more’n half
the words are all Dutch to me. This is the first
opiatic performance I ever went to, and if I can’t
get a seat I can’t stand it to come agin.” She said
it very firmly. As she was going down the
stairs, a young gentleman, with curly hair, reached
over the banisters and blandly informed her that
he could furnish her with a seat. - She turned her
benevolent spectacles, and face attached towards
him, an-1 told him it was rather late, after the
evening had half gone, to think of politeness. It
waa a picture. The young cnrly head bending
over the banister, and the spectacles and the black

ing to the County, opposite said Court House, on the south
side of the Public Square, to he used as a Court House
until they can have erected on the site where it now stands,
a good, substantial and ermmodious Court House, the walls
of which should be of the best brick, and built after the
most approved plan.
And we further recommend said Court to levy such extra
taxes, from year to year.cn the State tax, as will enable
them to carry on the wort to its completion.
And we further recommend said Court to have an extra
floor of inch plank laid on the upper floor of the Jail,
and also to have some repairs made under and at
tached to the west window of the upper room, as we
deem it unsafe in its present condition.
We have examined the Tax Collector’s books, and allow
him $100.75 on his insolvent list, and earnestly request
the Justices of the Inferior Court to send out to the Jus
tices of the Peace in the severul precincts in the county,
all Tax Executions unpaid prior to the voting of the next
General Election.
We are pleased to see the position which a large num
ber of the Gran-t Juries of this State have taken in refer
ence to the action of the Convention at Atlanta, in rela
tion to the restriction of the Liquor Traffic. Experience
has demonstrated the fact, that nearly all the crimes which
disgrace and blot all the criminal records of the country,
have resulted from the illy regulated traffic in ardent
spirits. We think that those evils ought to be suppressed,
although it is a question which the people of this Slate
have the right to determine for themselves. We hope,
therefore, that the next Legislature of our State will enact
mch a law upon the subject as that proposed by the afore
said Convention, and thereby allow this all-absorbing
question to be controlled by the sovereign people, the sover
eign of all power.
In taking leave of His Honor Judge Irwin, we tender
him our cordial approbation for the able and dignified and
courteous manner in which he has discharged the duties of
his office, during the present Term.
We beg leave also to tender to the Solicitor General our
acknowledgments tor his kind attention to our body dur
ing the pres et Term, and also to Mr. James Melford,
(Bailiff,) for the kind manner in which he has discharged
the duties assigned him, during the present session.

COTTON—During Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, the market continued, eo far u prieee were eon*
cerned, about the aame aa reported on Tueeiay, with a
moderate buineee doing. Monday morning the newt by
the Baltic came to hand, which completely cheeked opera-
ilnce which we hear o( no traniacttone. Holden are
unwilling to plaoe their etocki on the market la tie preient
condition, and buyers teem not diepoeed to purchaae, ex
cept at a reduced rate—aay 10c. for Middling Fair—to
which holden will not aooede. In neh a etate of thing! It
ialmpoeaible to giro quotation!, ae there are no traaiao
tiom to baae them upon.
It may not be improper to remark, that greater confi
dence haa been imparted to holden by the continued de
crease of the excess in iwoaipts at tha ports, and the eery
unfavorable proepect for the growiag Crop which plant
er! now report to be general throughout tbia lection
of the cotton-growing State!. Owing te the continued
drouth, preceded by the exoemlve mini of the winter,
the cotton wu late being planted, and, indeed, much la yet
to plant, and much that li planted cannot come for the
want of rain.
These things, of course, have their lnlueaoe upon hold
era, (as it la well known, that every week loot in the begin
ning of the season, in bringing forward the crop, operates
materially to reduce the production,) hence, they are ac
quiring more firmness in their demands for higher rates.

LIVERPOOL, April 15.— Cotton. —Daring the whole of
the week there has been a steady demand for Cotton, which
has been encouraged by later advices, per Canada, report*
ing continued falling off in the receipt#. Theee reporta were
confirmed by the letters per Baltic, received yesterday, and
the sales on that day were balee. Prieee have been
gradually stiffening, and close at an adyanoe of l«lld to
but only in middling qualities.
The firmness which has prevailed in the Cotton market
during the week, has led to somewhat higher prices being
asked fur Goods and Yarns In Manchester, bat these have
been paid to only a limited extent, and the market ie re
ported at the close as steady, but witkoat activity.
The week’s sales amount to 59,970 bales, of which 10,800
on speculation and 11,480 for export.

There has been a better feeling in the Corn trade in this
place dnriDg the week, but at thie day’s market the increas
ed demands of holders checked business. We quote an
advance in the week of ld. 4 $1 bush.cn Wheat, Bd. to std
barrel on Flour, and std. p qr. on Indian Corn. The
weather continues fine.
LIVERPOOL, April 15.—There hu been a food demand
for cotton throughout the peat week, without much change
in prices. Middling description! of American are quoted
at l-16d. lb. hgher, while Fair and upward! are un
changed, and the inferior and dirty quahUee continue to be
almost unsaleable. Upland cotton It at present in request
in consequence of its comparative cleanliness, and brings
relatively high prices.
The sales for the week reach 69,W0 bales, with 10,800 to
sptculators and 11,400 to exporters. To-day tie business
is called 8,000 bales. The market being well supplied by

MISCELLANEOUS,
the southern eclectic.
The NATURE AND OBJBCTB of this Southern
Monthly, are briefly set forth In the Prospectus of the
work. We propose to esy s few words In detail. Persona
of intelligence in any of the pursuit, of life, should have a
comprehensive view of what Is passing In the intellectual!
moral, and physical world. They should know the condi
tion and progiesi of Sooiety, or Literature, Art and Science.
Receiving constantly, as we do, a la’ge number of the
ablest works published In this country and id Europe, w*
shall spare no pains to make the pages of the Eclectic ex
hibit theee interesting and Important feature*. Whatever
is remarkable in the forme or changes of Government or
Boci«ty, illustrious In Character, striking or novel in Art
or Scieoce, with whatever is richest in the range of the
world's Literature, will be strikingly illustrated. We in
tend that it shall meet the wants ev<n of sn arbiter ««•
ffantiurutH, aa well as of those who would be so versed in
the grand feature of human progress as to feel, at leastj
composed, among those who claim to be upon the summit
level of the greatemplre of Mind.
A tingle individual may receive one or more of the valu
able Reviews, Magssines, or Journals, to which we have
alluded, but he takes them at great expense, with many
long and heavy articles neither suited to his section or his
intellectual wants. We, from a large number of ihuu,
will compile a work, every article of which will be to hint
not only of present, hut, at a general rule, of permanent
value. Bet kies thie advantage afforded by the Eclectic, wo
can furnish these articles almost as new and fresh as if
they were written expressly for our pages. The Foreign
Reviews aod Magaiines contain, at times, foul qnri Iniqui
tous lianders upon our oountry, government, cu-toms aod
people, and, particularly, our peculiar southern hiMtu
tton. Our pages will not only be exempt from such libels,
Whither originating In Ignorance or deliberate n.aliee, but
will expose and repel themon all suitable occasions.
Cur Poetry and pleating Stories will be selected with a
strict regard to delicacy, purity, elegance of style and sen
timent. There Is noother work similar to that of the BAi
them Eclectic South of Mason and Dixon's line. Tills Is,
therefore, emphatically, The Southern Eclectic. If there
be a patriotism in Literature, as there is in pul tics, wa
would arpeal to it ou this occasion. Certainly the South
should rely|more upon herself than she now does, for her iu
tellectual gratifications. The Editors of the Southern Eclec
tic are Georgians by birth, and are ready to contribute
ever) thing In their power to the common stock or Southern
mental eDjoyment, as they are to Southern prosperity and
security. We will not question the noble liberality of Die
people of the South to far as to doubt the success of the
Eclectic, especially ae It has no rival in all the broad ex
panse of our fruitful, rich and sunny South. It will bn
seen that the Ecliotio will contain nine hundred and
titty payee of reading matter for the year, in a form suit
able for binding and preservation.
We submit it to the consideration of all classes and pro
fessions and shall be pltaaed to receive the encour-geirent
of all who fkyor the dissemination of correct taste and
useful knowledge In their moe' pleasing and Imposing
tormM ' jameJ mTsmVthe, } Kdltor, ‘
PROSPECTUS.
This Work, the first number of whtoh was Issued In
March, 1858, Is composed mainly of selections from the
periodical literature of Great Britain, Fancc, Germany
and the United State#—but chiefly from that of Great Bri
tain. In addition to American Journals, we have order
ed, and will be constantly receiving by mail, the following
