to send their unfortunate pr'soners to the sieve

Kellstahs mn is in orri iu- into tbe territory ; p« •-
pelual feuds wore maintained : until at length, the
King waa driven from Ins capital: the whula coun
try became disorganized ; and the interior chiefs,
throwing off their allegiance t-> their Sovereign,
left him iri possession of but a small pan of Ida
former dominions. Such was the Mate of things
when the country won brat visited by the Chris
tian missionary. A graphic description of lids
new Held for religions enterprise is given in the
following passage :
For many miles from tbe coast, the count; v,
though fertile, is low and swampy ; but us you
journey on towards the interior, it becomes diver
sided with hill and plain ; and from the deacrip
lions given of it by the Lan iers, as well as by our
own missionaries, it must lie very picturesque and
beautiful. Deep and fertile valleys be among tbe
hills; granite rocks, some lofty, bold and bare,
others clothed with trees of verdure to their sum
mils; and ol ear streams, tumbling over their rocky
bed, ad-1 to the beauty of the scenery.
The appearance of the towns, from # distuned,
is often imposing; the walls enclose a large extent
of land, end fields and trees uro interspersed
among the thatched roofs of the lowly dwellings
It in strange, that in u tropical climate the natives
should take such pains to exclude the air ; but
the African hut, like that of the Hindoo, is with
eut windows or any opening bat the low door,
while the root p ojeots sofai beyond the walls
that but little air can find its way oven bore. The
houses of the better classes ere built round u
quadrangle, into which the separate dwellings
open, while a rude piazza rims along the whole
Interior. The head of the family occupies the
largest of them dwellings, and round him arc
gathered children and grand children, and any
othor members of his family for whom a separate
habitation can bo found. The court iu the centre, -
la often planted, and is the common place of re
sort for all the inmates, where, shut up in among
themselves, they can, without (ear of interruption,
talk over any subject of family interest; and
where, oil the Vight moonlight nights of that
southern clime, the whole party are frequently i
collected. Here they will remain for hours, seut ,
ed on the ground, und listening with fixed atten
tion. while Olio and another relates none passing
incident, or iimmcs his hearers with some legend
or fairy tale, ot which these people arc passionate
ly fond. It is the hour of calm enjoyment, end
the eye of even n C'hilstiuii Yorabun will glisten
at the thought of thoao moonlight scenes, though 1
now hia conversation would be of a higher ami
holier a tone.
The people are industrious, and tlie noil freely
yields them yams, caesada, and the vuriouH other
R rains that are In use among them. Colton, too,
i grown in considerable quantities, and (he wo
men spin, and men and women weave it into cloth
which is worn by all. 'l’hoy aro generally woll
clothod in this their native manufacture ; the color
is oftuu blue, dyed with indigo, und checked with
red cotton procured from Ihuiasa, and which it is
said, is naturally of that color. There is a grout
taste for dross uinong them, and independently oi
any religious motive, some of the gay young inen
atlecl the Muliometau costume, and wear wide
sack-like trowsers, much embroidered, and con
lined close round the ankle, with it loose upper
garment, and tiirbaut; or if unable to procure this
lost appendage, they roll a long piece of cotton
round the tieud. Horne of-thcui aro beginning to
adopt tho Knglisli dress ; but all this is to bo ro
grottod, ns any eluingo of nutionul costume neecs
aarily involves some degree of chango in tbe na
tional character, and tho present dress is very be
oo tiling.
Knives, axes, and implements of husbandry,
aro made from tho iron oro, which is very abun
dant, and which they have learnt to smelt. Osier
baskets and grass muts arc also among tlioir native
manufactures. Tho red enrtlion wuru in common
use is mado by womon, and burnt by being stacked
together, with layers of wood between tho rows,
aa bricks are baked in England. One of their
most useful domestic utensils has boon provided
for them by nature —this is tho ealablth, a kind of
pumpkin. W lion the fruit begins to ripen, n hole
fa cut in the Ruiall end to admit tho air, and thus
tho pulp decays without injuring tho rind. Home
times the incision ia mado round tho lruit, at about
ono-third from tho smaller end, and a vossel with
a neatly fltting lid is producod without further
trouble. These calabashes are of various sizes,
some are smaller than a toa-oup, while others will
hold threo or four gallons.
A good doul of intomal traffic is carried on
among them, markets aro hold morning and eve
ning in ovory town and village, and in the towns
there is u larger one every iilth day, which ia at
tended by all tho neighborhood. Their only cur
rent money is tho white e -wi-j , forty of which tiro
tho value of an English penny. They aro strung
and tiod up in “AmJx,” as they aro called, oaoh
hoail containing 2,000 shells, equal to 4s. 2d.; uud
at this rata of reckoning, we shall not bo sur

Ono of tlioir domostio Imliita is, wo bclievo, pe
culiar to themselves. None of tho people take
thoir llrst morning meal in tlioir own housos, but
all, both men and womon, about soven o’eloek in
the morning, pay a visit to the cook’s shop, and
make their first breakfast on a bowl of gruel of
Indian oorn. The women thou proceed to the
market to purchase materials lor a more substan
tial repast, which is taken about 10 o'clock. This
oonsists of balls of Indian corn called "deny/,''
aorve up in u kind of strong sauce mude of beef
mutton, fliah or fowl, with various vegetables, and
aeaaonod with salt procured from tho I’opos, and
with Cayonno popper, which grows in tho country,
tho wholo forming a very nulricious mid palatable
food. The family do not generally oolloct together
for this moal, but each ono takes it whou so in
altned. In cases, however, whore tlicro is only
ono wife, she and her children usually join the
husband and any friends ho may have invited.—
When about to partako of tho tood, a largo earthen
bowl ia placod on tho grouud, containing tho
ilengc and the sauon, uml tho party sit down
round it. Tho balls of Indian corn aro taken out
of the bowl, brokou and distributed to tho differ

animal food oonsuined in tills way, bnt it is never
eaten solid. Ono of their chief articles of food ia
also the yam.
Resides tho nrrrstivo of missionary operations
which formed tho professed subject of tho volume,
it contains numerous pictures cf African manners

Foot I’mntb.—A tow day* ago, at Greenfield
Mass., tho collection of the late Dexter Marsh woe
sold at auction, Tho Springfield Republican says;
“ Mr. Marsh wus a laboring man, without tho
advantage of education, but possessed of an in
dustry, energy, judgment and enthusiasm, which,
with greater educational advantages, would liavu
given him a high rank among the soicntitic men of
tin country. Nearly twenty vers ago, tho dis
covery of animal foot-prints among the layers of
tho red sandstone of tho Connecticut Kiver valley
caused a protouud sensation throughout tho whole
scientific world. These foot prints happenod to
bo first noticed in the town whore Mr. Marsh ro
sided ; and from tho time when his attention was
first called to them, ho followed from year to yoar
with increasing forvor and zeal the vast range of
inquiry which they suggested among tho records
of tho aniodoluvdan history of tho earth. While
he still continued diligent in bis vocation as a day
laborer and gardener, ho need every moment
which he could take from hie business in searching
for and obtaining a sot of specimens winch, in its
own line, is said to have becu unrivalled; and at
tho lime of liis death, his labors had become
widely and gruUinlly appreciated by scientific
men.' 1 •
Among those engaged iu the bidding, were Pres
ident Hitchcock, of Amherst ; Dr. Doan, of Green
field; Messrs. Alger and Bouve, of Boston; Gcb
hardt, or Albany ; W. C. Bedfiold, of New York :
t'olib, of Portland; and Chase, of Natchez. The
following aro tho prices at which the curiosities
were sold:
“ Tho largest and tiuest slab of sandstone, pre
senting a number of Hues of distinct tracks ap
praised at $340, was struck oft' to Mr. Algor at
$875. Tho corresponding slab, of loss size and ex
hibiting similar tracks in relief, appraised at $150;
was struck off to President Hitchcock at $l6O.
One stone, appraised at $5, was rnn up to $26.
The principal competition appeared to bo between
the representatives of the Boston Society of Natu
ral History on the ono hand, and those of Port
land, Albany, and New York on tho other. A
fossil fish impression, found in Sendorlaud, and
appraisod at $35, was struck off to Mr. Cobb for ssl.
Another stoue, with well defined traces of tracks,
appraised at $lO, was run up between Mr. Alger
and Mr. Cobb to SB7, and finally struck off' to the
former. Tho stone appraised at $76 and another
at $35, were struck on to Mr. Bouve, at SIBO, and
SBB respectively. There was a single impression
of au emormous foot, apparently ol a bird five or
aix limes the size of the ostrich, which waa ap
praised at s4s—two similar and connected iin-
Sreaaions having heretofore been sold to the Unt
il Museum for $35. This, after active bidding
between Mr. Chase and Mr. Alger, became the
property of Mr. Alger at $100."
MiRDkR- in the Chsroxix Kxtion.— The Yen
Huron i Ark.) Intelligencer gives the following ac
oonntofthe murder of two gentlemen, near Evans
ville, in the Cherokee Natiou :
On last Satuiday, the 10th inst., just after day
light, several parties of Cherokees, supposed to
number in all 100 men, weut to tho residence of
Audy Adair, about ten miles from Evansville, in
Fliut District, Chorokeo Natiou, and to tbai of
G. W. Adair, Jr., about one mile distant. They
arrested Andy and G. W. Adair upon a pretext
connected with tho late murder committed by
Daniel Ross upon Klie Kanasta. The two Adairs
were then b-ought into ceimnuniealion. A short
time afterwards Andy waa taken off about a quar
ter ofa mile; the party left with G. W. Adair com
menced their bloody work first, and when the
other parti heard the firing they commenced on
Andy, and shot, as we are informed, IcO balls into
bis body. Before the murderers delivered over
the body ot Andy Adair, and as each one finished,
he stuck kia knife into the body. The deceased
were highly respectable citinns of the Cherokee
Nation, and their melancholy end is regretted by
the eilizeue of Arkansas along the whole frontier.

Aistuias AnaouANCh ami Peiimdy.— '' he New
York Evening Tost professes to have “ very good
authority” for tho following statement with re
sjiect to tho Austruin seizuro of Mr. Koszta:—
II is stated by tho legation at Constantinople,
that bolore the arrest of Koszta, the Torte had re
peatedly been urged to expel tho foreign refugees
from Smyrna; uud tliut tho governor of that
place, Ali Pacha, had received orders for the
arrest and expulsion of a number of them, which
ho neglected to execute; the consequence of which
was, that Weclcbccker, the Austrian consul, was
compelled to net for himself, and he commenced
with tho arrest of M. Koszta. We have very
good ttuthoiity for soying, the* this arrest would
have been followed by uiuiiy others, uud that the
Austrian Uovoriimcut intended availing itself of
the weak and o i bnrrussed position of tho Porte,
to prosecute with uovutity all the Italian and Hun
garian refugees at Smyrna and Constantinople.
Ali Pacha was removed from the Governorship
ot Smyrna soon niter the Koszta difficulty, oil the
ooinplaint of tho Austrian Minister, that the
-loath of the young baron (ail cfilcor of tho brig
of war “ Hussar,” in which M. Koszta had been
confined) was duo to liis want of attention to the
order of his Government. Soon after hia removal
wo learn, an American gentleman called to pay
him a visit. Ali l’uchu was very indignant at the
conduct of the Austriun consul of Smyrna toward
hi in,Slid stated to li i * American visitor ihat,th rough -
out tho whole affair, that functionary had acted
most disgraoefuliy, uml in extreme had faith toward
him. He represented that the Austrians wished
it to appear that lie had neglected to carry out
CO tain orders which lie had received fr«m hia
government, respecting tho refugees of Smyrna,
wlii Ist, lie uddotl, tho facts of the case aro as fol
lows :
“Tho Andrian Legation had procured from the
termer Minister of Foreign Affairs (H. E. Kijoot
Pacha,) an order for tho expulsion of nvoindividnals
from Smyrna, and when he tookit uptoexecutoit,
he found among the nuincs that of a Mr. Cucini, a
person who, though formerly au Italian, had been
more tliun 20 years in Turkey, and had long since
become a Tntkisli subject. lie was also allied by
marriage with ono of tho most resnoctablo Arme
nian families of the capital, (M. Duz,"l and as ho
had nothing to do whatever with Austria, or Aus
trian politics, he could not expel him from the
country, without lirst making a roport of the ease
to the I’orte, and asking a confirmation of its or
ders. This occasioned some delay. Tho I’oi te re
ferred the matter to the Austrian Legation for ex
planation, and it could not give any other than
that it had, probably, grown out of a mistake, or
from a similarity of names. In the meantime an
Austrian brig-of-war arrived in (Smyrna, and Mr.
IV cckbccker, the Austrian Consul, wrote to him to
■i-k him when ho would receive him and the Com
mander. Tho I’achauamod 5 o’clock in the after
noon of tho 21st of Juno. At that hour they called
and after being presented the Commander retired,
and tho Consul rumaiuod to converse with tho
I'uch't on matters ofbusincss.
“ In tho course of the conversation, tho consol
told the Pacha that there was an individual in tho
city of Smyrna whom ho would have to arrcßt.
The l’aoha at once remonstrated against such a
measure and informed tha consul that if he really
was au exceptionable person, who iucomuiodod
him by ids presence, lie would givo himuotioe to
depart wiibiu twenty-Tour honrs, and if he did not
leave witiiiti that time, he would arrest him and
expel him Irom the country. To this Mr. Weck
becker replied in a tone of indifference, only say
ing that lio bad already given Bomo directions re
lative to tbe individual in quostion, against which
tlie l’aclia also remonstrated. Hoon after the de
parture of the onsul, the Pacha learned that, at
half poet thrte o'clock, tlie 1 directions’ whicli tho
consul hud given provious to visiting the Pachu,
had already boon faithfully exceutod by tho
wretches whom ho hired to arrest Kofztn. Aud
when tho Pacha sent to tho Austriau consul to ro
monslrnto with him against his conduct, an 1 ask
explanations, he sent him a reply that he had only
executed tho instructions of his Government, and
was ready to assume all tlie responsibility of it.”
Tho Commercial Advcrtisor copies tho above and
u ids: Assuming the facts of the caso to boos re~
presented by the Post, ovory American citizen’
and tbe cuomics of tyranny and wrong everywhere,
must tho more rcjoico that the arrogant and perfi
dious Anatrian Consul-General selected lor his
first victim a gentleman having an American pro
tection, uud thut there happened to be an Ameri
can vessel of war at hand to givo prompt and pruc
tieal validity to that protection. No doubt Capt.
Ingraham’s bold bearing in the matter saved other
politioal refugees from tho murderous grasp of tlie
Austrian ugout. And what becomes, under this
stato of facts, of Austrian’s hypocritical outcry
about a wrong done and aroparaaion to ho made
by tho United States? Probably she did not ex
pect that those facts would come to light, but they
having been published to tho world, with what
loathing and distrust she must bo regarded by
every honorublo man and upright nation. Whe
ther tlicro bo truth or not in tho roport that Mr.
Hu'.scmaun lias humbly bucked out of all his pre
tentious, and promised the release of Koszta, it is
Pjretty certain that the sconer he can gettho mat
ter hashed up, the better for the reputation of his
Government.
A abstract made from the marine records ofthc
Boston papors for a period of 13 months shows the
great extent of loss of lifo and property by ship
wrock:

Os tho abovo total losses, thcro were stranded,

Thcro is a total loss for tbo given period every
22 lion's; one stranded every 38hours; ono aban
doned every 75 hours; one nevor heard from every
10 days.
This latter implies a serious loss of lifo, as do
moro or less those abandoned, and some of them
were doubtless caused by tho unseaworthy con

tiated tho treaty with that empire. He will now
go as fnil Minister, with extraordinary powers,
sucli as uo other American diplomats agent ever
had, to China, Japau, the Dutch East Indies—in
fact, he will have a roving commission, to all parte
of Asia. Subsequent reports from Washington

> ! We subjoin *ach account* of tba weather, crop*,
; and correlative matter*, ae oar tate exchange* af
| (or d.
From tiie Montgomery (Ala.) Journal, of the
26th nit.:
Tbe ert-p* ua> e suffered materially in this sec
tion—early in the -tuson by drought and rain,
and within the last few weeks the bottom and mid
d'e crop, which was mainly relied on, has been
d imaged extensively by the worm and the rot, pro
duced by eontinned wet weather.
It is the pinioii of many planter* that the crop,
such a* it i-, I- made, and that there is little left
to pence ,ot which will be injured by aa early
frost The general opiniou is that the crop will
fall abort of that of last year in this lection, which
was below a fair average.
From the Claiborne < Ala.) Southerner, of the
24tli ait.:
Another heavy raiu deacended on Monday after
noon. Worse and worse for plan era. We shall
soon have a full river, but little cotton to freight
the steamers with.
One fact is worthy of notia, with regard to the
short crop : the planters of ffiis country are, the
mid'jtity of them’ out of debt, and it makes little
difference in their appearanoe, whether the crop is
a short or full one.
From the Camden ‘.Ala.) Republic, of the 24th
nit.:
It has been for several day* past remarkably dry
and cool. Our planters are making hay while the
Bun shines, being actively engaged in gathering
crops; but from all we hear we suppose the worm
ana caterpillar arc equally active.
From the Clayton t Ala.) Banner, of the 24th
alt.:
The weather at this time is delightfully bracing
and evidently muking a start for fall. We have
had a good deal of rain lately, at.d some of our
planters complain about the cotton sprouting and

Augusta, Geo., Oct. oth, 1853.
To (Ik Editor of the Chronicle and Sentinel:
Sir. : Iu your paper of this morning appeared
an article hca led “ Tbe Recent Killing of Major
Arnold at Fort Graham," which does very great
injustice to my brother, Dr. J. M. Steii.er, U. S. A,
Tho facts in regard to the melancholy occurrence
alluded to are these. My brother was placed in
arrest by Major Arnold for having punished a Lieu
tenant, for nsing language to him, which no gentle
man and man of courage could for m instant toie.
rate. Major Arnold knowing that my brother
would ask to know why he was arrested (the mat
ter between Sterner and tbe Lieutenant being *f a
private character) determined, in consequence of
an old feud, to reply to the question in such a man
ner as would force tho Doctor to strike him, when
he would ho hold excusable for taking his life. My
brother did not resent the offensive lnnguageinthe
way Major A. anticipated, hut remarked that tbe
reason assigned for his arrest was not in accordance
with the facts, whereupon Mu,jot A. drew one of
his pistols, and shot at my brother Mho was stand
ing about live feet distant. The Doctor returned
the tire, breaking the Major’s left arm above the
elbow. Major A. fired a second time, but again
without effect, when my brother shot him through
the body. Major A. attempted to sfeOot again, but
tbe pistol suupped, when my brother killed ium.
Dr. Steiner acted on the defensive throughout the
reucouuter, and only returned shot for shot. Major
A. was in the command of the post, and could have
ordered my brother into close confinement, had lie
deemed it necessary, without the leist personal risk.
The idea that Dr. Steiner killed Major A.
simply because the latter arrested him for u sup
posed trifling military oflcuco, is rather too absurd
to call for coutradiotiou. That the Doctor attemp
ted to eßcapo is utterly untrue. Major Arnold’s
death forbids any comments from me on ttis con
duct, but justice to my brother demands that the
facts above mentioned Bhould be given to tbe
public. Respectfully yours,
11. 11. SfEINEB.
It is scarcely uecessary for us to say, that we
published tbe stutemeut referred to, as an item of
news, as we found it in our exchanges, without
knowing what credence should bo given to it,
and without the slightest knowledge that there
was any relationship between Dr. Steiner, of the
army, and our esteemed friend Dr. H. If. Steiner,
ot this city. It affords us, therefore, sincere
pleasure to make the correction.— Ed. Chron. &

Will there be War?— Kooert Walsh, the well
known Paris correspondent of tlie New York Jour
nal ofCommcrco, whose familiarity witli European
politics renders his opinion of great wolght, in a
private note by the Arabiu says; “As to polities, I
am still confidentof a pacific solution."
Tlie Now York Courier and Enquirer takes the
opposito grouud, expressing a confident opinion
that war between liussia and Turkey is inevitable
—adding that “ Turkey lias probably, before this
time, unfurled tho banner of the prophet, and char
ged homo upon her invaders.” From the conclu
ding portion of the Enquirer’s article, we make tlie
following extract:—
“Tho Four Powers may side with Turkey or they
may desert her—it matters not, tho war will speed
ily come. Russia may muster an overwhelming
force, may inuke a demonstration which it would
seem madness to resist—it matteas not, tho Turks
will fight, and light desperately. Tlie Sultan, sur
rounded as he is by tlie representatives ot Western
Europe now “ beseeching,” and now “besieging,”
cannot yield if ho would. Ho could scarcely say
y rs before ho would fiud his brother on his throne.
He lias not yet given tbe lenst sign of yielding. lie
has exhibited a spirit throughout, that will secure
the respect of tho whole civilized world. He is in
the rignt. Even thoso who have been laboring
to move him from his position wojfiMreely admit
it. Being right, ho has a claim tcfHffinoral sup
port of Christendom. True he is a Hahommcdan,
but in all Continontid Europe thero is not ono coun
try in which ull religious aro so freely tolerated.
Uiissia calls itself Christian, bnt its religion is not
tlie religion of Christ, for it is a persecuting reli
gion. It is a religion whioh makes its converts at
tho point of the bayonet. It is a religion which
shows mercy to neither Protestant nor Catholic —
neither Esthouia nor Poland. Russia would not
be in possession ol Turkey a week, before all the
Protestant mission establishments, which have so
compiished such great benefits, would be visited by
tho sanio exterminating stroke which fell with such
fatal effects upou the missions in Georgia. Turkey
whether she is aided or not in the coming straggle,
by any of tho Four Powers, will havo the sympathy
of all mou of just, liberal and Christian principle;
and if she falls, she will fall with honor."
The Knickerbocker, for October, a capital num
ber, has been laid on our table by Geo. A. Oates
& Co.
The application for new banks to bo madoto the
next Legislature of Pennsylvania, exceed in
amount of capital seven million» of dollars, and for
re-charters and extension of capital, over six mil
lions— togotiier, about thirteen and three quarter
millions of dollars. This under tho rule of banking
will form a basis for currency and - ank credits to
the amount of some fifty millions of dollars.
An English lady, Miss Cunningham, has been
imprisoned at Lucca lor distributing tracts iu the
neighboring villages. She was mobbed, in the first
instance, by peasants, and then taken iu charge by
the police. Her friends promised her immediate
departure if sho was released, but the Grand Duke
declined to interfere, and said that the law must
have its course. By the r.ew civil code the punish
ment for ondoavoring to convert the people from
their faith is fixed at five or ton years’ imprison
ment, with hard labor.
Tho Tallahassee Floridian d- Journal of the Ist
inst. says:
Extraordinary reports about the yellow fever be
ing in Tallahassee aro going abroad through the
country, which we feel it incumbent on ua to oor
reet. There have been one or two cases, reported
to be yellow fever, occurring among negroes who
had been laboring at Newport, ana who had pro
bably taken the iufectiou before leaving that plaoe.
In other respects Tallahassee is not only free from
that disease, but unusually good health prevails
generally. We are uot at this time cognizant of a
single caso of fiver of any description in any way
regarded as serious.
Tbo total value of the foreign exports from B»1

W. D. Porter, of the U. 8. Navy, has au into,
resting letter ill the N. Y. Post oil ship building.
He suggests that our steamers should have rar
rower paddles, of traperian shape, with the largest
base near the vessel’s side. The requisites of a
fast steamer, he says, are—first, length ; second,
fine entrance: third, light draft of water; fourth,
narrow floats, and a few of them, and leverage.
On the first of January uoxt the prices of gas in
Cincinnati will be reduced from $8 to $2.50 per

articles, and the progress of the Exhibition from
day to day. Furtber particulars hereafter.
“Tnx State Fair —We feel well assured, from a
personal in pecticn of the Fairgrounds at the La
fayette Race Course, that a more pleasant or m re
suitable Bite could not have been selected.—
We have never seen a Fairground whicb could
compare with it for beau-y and adaptation. Em
bracing a mile and a halt in circumference, it af
fords ample space tor all the purposes of the Exhi
bition. The buildings are nearly all completed
and will certainly bs in readiness before tbe open
ing day. The pens and stalls for stock of all kinds
are already finished.
“The main buildings on the ground tre designed
tor the exhibition of grains, agricultural imple
ments, products of domestic industry, &c They
embrace six large buildings, dignified with the ap
pellation of Halle, and will be amply sufficient for
tbe accommodation of the numerous exhibitors.
lu addition to these large buildings, there are one
hundred aud fifty stills for horses, eighty cattle
stalls, sixty sheep stalls, &c., &e. The minor build
ings and tents will be occupied as occasion may
require. Several wells have been sunk on the
grounds, and the water is of the best quality, cold
and clear.
_ “Persons, who anticipate visiting Augusta at the
time of the Fair w'ill doubtless be well pleased
with the arrangements made by the committee.—
From what wo hear daily , the concourse of people
will be very targe. The list of premiums amounts
to about five hundred,—many of them as high as
fifty dollars. These are designed for tho most suc
cessful cases of farming aud planting, and for the
best crops; the best specimens of all kinds ot culti
vatiou; of all varieties of domestic animals, domes
tic manufactures, aud useful industry. The five
hundred premiums make an aggregate of five thou
sand dollars.

“The Liquor Argument at CrawfordvUle.” j
Mn. Editor :—ln your paper of the 28th of Sep- J
tember, l notice a piece signed “Common Sense.’’ 1
lu repl) to that piece I will merely state, that when (
1 ho speaker on the occasion al.uded to, had shown
in a e'enr and sound argument, tbe unconstitution- e
ality of what is known as the Atlanta movement, f
the advocates of that movement, in order to evade
tho force of the argument, cried out “nonsense!”
It never has been denied that a majority of the 1
Legislature byand with the consent of tho Govern- *
or, had not the right to pass all constitutional laws t
which they might deem necessary. No part of the 1
Constitution can be altered but by o vote of two- J
thirds of two successive Legislatures, (and not by
a majority;) and any one arguing otherwise, might i
bo supposed as having shaken hands with “Com- 1
mon sense.” Justice. J

Another Victim’s Revenge.—The Cincinnati i
Atlas of Tuesday gives the following particulars of *
another tragedy in that city, perpetrated by a ,
wrouged woman:
A few months since a man named John Ellis
Murray succeeded in enticing a young female
named Elizabeth Clay, to elope with him from
Madison, Indiana, where their relatives now re
side, to this city, promising to marry her after
they arrived here. By misrepresentations, as is
alleged, he postponed the marriage lrom day to
day, and then from week to week, and a few days
since began to taunt her as not being a true wo
man. Again promising most solemnly to m&try
her the next dav, he managed to seduce her, and
returned to his boarding house. For several days
she did not see nor hear from him and began to
make enquiries os to his whereabouts. She yes
terday learned that on Friday night last, be bad
married a female named Mary Brandon, and that
thoy were residing in the basement of a house on
George, between Elm and Race streets. Procuring
a pistol she proceeded to tbe house, and knocking
st the door, was admitted by Murray’s wife.
Murray, who was seated in one corner of the
room rose much agitated, aud demanded what she
wanted in his bouse. She inquired the cause of
his desertion, and marrying of another female.
He replied that be bad a right to do as he pleased,
and wished her to leave his presence. Just as he
was approaching her, evidently to compel her to
leave the house, she drew her pistol aud fired ;
the ball entered his head, and he fell a corpse at
her feet. She then went out aud told some of the
citizens what she had done and requested them to
show her the Watch House, that she might give
herself up. The citizens went with her to the
watch boose, where she gave herself up, and was
lodged in ono of the cells.
A letter from the city of Mexico, under date of
the 17th ult., says :
Capt. Levy is here, in law over head and ears.—
Some person sent him ont here with powet to dis
organize the whole mining laws of tne Republic;
bnt having let his tongue go beyond the powers of
attorney in his pocket, the consequence is, that the
Captain is sued for slander ; and embargoed, so
that he has got to remain in the country until the
whole matter is settled, or until the Court sees
proper to let him off.
Death of Dr. Richardson.— lt is with no ordi
nary feelings that we announce the death of Dr.
Wm. N. Richardson, of Gleunville, Ala. He died
of apoplexy, on Saturday, the lstinsL
Dr. Richardson was a native, we believe, of El
bert county, Georgia, aud passed his youth aud
manhood there, lie was the architect of his own
fortune-, ami affords another and striking illustra
tion of tho happy influence of tree institutions in
developing the character of the citizen. He was
eminent iu his profession, and s man of large at
tainments in general literature. His loee will be
severely felt in the community in which he lived.

Yellow Fevee at Milton.— Our private advices
from Milton, Florida, are truly distressing. The
ravages of the fever in that usually healthy little
village have been marked by a rapidity aud malig
nity almost nnpsralolled, unless it be at Thibo
deaux and a few other places in Louisiana, la one
family the wife had recovered irom a severe attack,
1 only to find her husband, mother, brother, sister,
husband’s brother and his partner in business—
' all inmates of one family—carried off by the fearful
plague. It had been only abont three weeks since
it first broke ont.
The editor of the Milton paper, the “ Conrier,”
was one of the 3ick, and its publication would pro
bably be suspended for a time. —Mobile Adz.,

Statistics of Crime.—' The latest national statis
tics of crime are found in the abstracts of tbe Se
venth Census. From thatit appears that the whole
number of persons convicted of crime in the United
States, lor the year ending Jane, 1850, was about
27,000; of these, 18,000 were natives, (including
colored prisonere,) and 14,000 foreigu born. By
the same authority, and to tbe same data, we are
informed that our population was composed 0f17,-
78J,005 natives of its soil; 2,216,828 born in foreign
countries, and 80,014 whose nativity could not be
determined. While we have, therefore, but abont
one foreign resident to nine native whiten, there is
a fraction over one foreign born criminal to every
native, including black and white. Such was the
the ratio of crime in 1850, and there is no reason
to .suppose it has materially changed since that
time.
One Dai Later From Rio.—The brig Nancy, at
this port yesterday from Rio de Janeiro, brings ad
vices one day later than our previous dates. The
following is an extract from a letter, dated -.—Ball.
Amer.
Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 18, 1853. —We have no
change to note in quotation of Coffee. The stock
to day is about the same as it was in 1852, and the
receipts from the interior, as compared with 1852,
show a falling off of 117,238 bags since Ist of April
ts compared with same period last year. Tbe re
ceipts average about 3500 bags daily since Ist
July. The lowland crop is almost a total failure,
as there are not 10,000 bags of new in market,
whereas we have shipped cargoes of new as early
as the Ist of April in former years.
Col. Henry P. Jones, we are informed by a cor
respondent, died at one of his plantations in Lau
rens county, on Sunday morning last, of infUmma
, tion of the bowels, aged 65 years. He was born
and reared in Burke county, and was one of bar
oldest and moat respectable citizens. HU father
was asteriing Whig of the Revolution, end battled
manfully for the liberties of hU country. Col.
r Jones was one of tbe wealthiest men in Georgia,

Women’s Rights Convention.
Cleveland, Oct. 7.—The Women’s Rights Ccn
vention assembled here had a most stormy session
yesterday, which abounded in evidences of the fol
ly of thoee composing it.
A series of resolutions were adopted, boldly
claiming the exercise of the elective frauchiae as
one of woman’s rights, and her eligibility to politic
al stations of honor and profit.
As the ladies were in a fairway of monopolising
the whole debate, an over cold member of the male
gender, ventured to offer a resolution to the effect,
that the women confine their speeches within the
limit of 15 minutes. This proposition was of oourse
received as a very serious attempt to encroach upon
one of the most important of women’s rights, and
was iudiguantly voted down.
Mrs. Clark here endeavored to speak a word in
behalf of man, probably with the kind intention of
soothing the loelings ot the author of the objetion -
able resolution, but she was immediately gagged
for her temerity amidst loud cries of “turn her
out.”
Abby Kelly made a speech in which she bitterly
attacked churches sud ministry, which excited
more angry discussion, sud attempts were made to
put her down by those who were not yot prepared
to go the same length of folly.
Abby, however, maintained her position, aud
would not yield the floor, dec’aringthatshe would
not be put down.
Here another terrible ’sceno of confusion and
strife of tongues ensued, iu tbe midst of whicb a
motion to adjourn was put and carried, and the
Presidentcss fled the hall to escape the vengeance
of some portion of the Convention whom she had
offended.
Cleveland, Oct. B.—The Convention re-assem
bled yesterday in e vary quiet manner, no truces
ot the storm of the day previous being manifest
ed This harmony was soon threatened however,
by the introduction of u letter from Rev. F. V .
Uigginson, asking the Convention to take up a
collection for tho purpose of printing tracts in
favor of Women’s Rights.
Mrs. Parker and Abby Kelly obj»eiej ) uenoun
cing the Reverend gentlomun as a heretic.
Lucy Stone replied in indignant terms, after
which a collection was taken up. While the pluto
wsb going round, some young mon in tho gallery
said if Miss Luoy would como herself they would
shell out. Mlsb Lucy promptly went, and the
young men gave her S4O.
Mr. Garrison introduced a resolution denouncing
tho action of the World’s Temperance Convention
against Antoinette L. Brown, which was adopted.
Mr. Barker made s blasphemous address against
the Church and the Bible, to which Antoinette L
Brown, in indignant language, expressed her wil
liuguoss to reply. The Convention then adjourned, i
Cleveland, Oct. 9.—The clobingsceDos of tho
Women’s CoDvontion was very exciting. Antoin- |
ette Brown repliod to Barker’s infidel speech, do- ,
nouncicgliim as a heretic.
Mr. Garrison replied to Antoinette in defence of '
Barker. Mr. Nevins also replied to Barker,
making several personal allusions, and was inter- '
ruptod several times by Garrisou and Barker, who <
were finally hissed down. j
Mr. Garrison called Novius a blaokguard rowdy,
whereupon great excitement ensued.
It was voted to hold the next Convention at
Philadelphia, on October 18th, 1854.
After adjournment Nevins met Garrisou in the
street and _ demanded an apology, which wa3
refused. Nevios then laid violent bauds on Gar
rison, pnliiDg his nose and otherwise abusing him.
The latter mado no resistance, aud Nevins was
finnlly taken off by his friends.
Syracuse, Oct. 6th.—Tho Whig Bute Conven
tion met here to day ; was called to order by Hon.
K. D. Morgan, and Uoueral Bruse appointed loin

cd President of the Convention. After organiza
tion, J. M. Cook was nominated as Comptroller,
Eldridge E. Spalding, Treasurer; Ogden Hoffman,
Attorney General, and E. W. Levensw • rth, Secre
tary of State.
Great excitement prevailed, and the chairman t
had great difficulty to preaerve order. t
Philadelphia, Oct. s.—The U. S. Deputy Mar ]
shals Crosslo and J enkina, had warrants for arrests (
served on them yesterday, on the charge of riot,
and assault and battery upon Bill Thomas, an alle
ged fugitive slave st Wilkesbarre, on the oath of f
Yilliam C. Gildersloeve, a resident of Wilkes- ’
barre.—A writ of habeas corpus was applied for be- 1
fore Jndge Grier of the U. 8. Circuit Court, in this i
city, and District Attorney Ashmead asked that j
the prisoners be discharged, asserting that no more t
force was used than was necessary, the fugitive
being armed with a knife given to him by a by
stander. 1
Judge Grier said that if habeas corpuses are to *
be taken out after that manner, I will have an in- «
dictment sent to the United States Grand Jury t
against the person who applies for the writ, or as- (
sists iu getting it, the lawyer who defends it, and
the sheriff who serves the'writ, to see whether the 1
United Stales offioors are to be arrested and har
rassed whenever they attempt to serve process of '
the United Stater. I
Mr. Brown, connael for the Abolition society, i

SPECIAL NOTICES.
WARREN SUPERIOR COVBT,
OCTOUU IKKM, ISV3.
W We, tbe Gram* Jury for Warren County,
a iron* , chosen and selected for October Term, 167*3, b«g
l «ave to moke the following Presentment* :
We hove, through appropriate Committees, examined
the books of the Superior and Inferior Courts, and And
them neatly and correctly kept. We have, also, through.
. an appropriate committee, examined the books or the On.i
--! nary'st-ffice, and not only And them neatly an i orrectly
kept, but unusually so; and each of us take the greatest
pleasure in specially nc iidng this fact; and he is Justly
entitled to great credit for the orderly manner in which hit
office is kept. On examination, by a competent commit
tee, we And the Jail Is neatly kept, and in good condition.
W# would recommend to the Inferior Court, the proprie
ty and necessity in having doors or shutters pat upon the
shelves in the office of the Superior and Inferior Courts, fur
the purpose of better protection to the papers belong ng to
those offices; also to ha re banisters to stair-case repaired.
We recommend the Superior Court to guard well the
public moneys belonging to the ccunty. We believe there
haa been great waste to such hinds,in granting to the
Sheriff extra fees o tbe amount of (#110) one hundred and
twenty dollars. Such demands upon the county should
be made dearly to appear by a regular bin, made out by
the Sheriff and examined by the Court, that the seni ts
were rendered and no extravagant charge* made thereon
This is only a practice that has been in fee for years, aud
we believe it isa practice that should be abolished instanter-
The committee, appointed for the purpose of examinit g
into the state of the Treasury, report no funds. There ii at
present, orders granted by the Inferior Court, unpaid—
and these orders are for the »ole use and beneAt of our
pauper population. They have no other means of obtain
ing a subsistence, and it is our opinion that money paid for
extra services, should have been kept in the treasury for
this charitable purpose. The great waste of the funds, in
our opinion, calls for a decided disapproval from ns, and
our duty, as Grand Jurors, compels us to notice this fact.
We would respectfully call the attention of the Inferior
Court to the transcribing of certain old books in the office
of the Superior Court. There it, in our opinion, nothing
wanting, to make those booka perfect and plain to ev> ry
man, but an Alphabet to each of them ; this can be easily
done, and at much less expense than transcribing tl e
whole. We, therefore, respectfully request the Inferior
Court to put an immediate stop to it, and at the same time
make suitable arrangements to have them Alphabeted; and
this to be let out to the lowest bidder. The interests of the
county, and the state of the Treasury, imperatively de
mand this action on our part.
We have listened to complaints from various soums
among the agents and guardians of our pauper population,
a- to the manner in which they have been paid their quar
terly mite. The amount is small, It is true, but it is of
great value to them; and we as earnestly request the
Treasurer and his agents, if any he have, in all cases to
pay the orders in cash, unless otherwise requested by
thsmaelves. This is a delicate duty for us to perform, but
we are appointed for the purpose of guarding the interests ■
of the ccmmunity at large, and wc will do so to the best < f
ourabil.ty. We sincerely hbpe these presentments o»y '
not have to be reiterated by other Grand Jurors. ,
We beg leave ts call the attention of the Magistrates of 1
our county, to the Bastardy act, and request them to have 1
a'l the requirements of the law fulfilfod to the letter, so ar i
as lies in their power. We would respectfully call tbe at- <
tention of the Inferior Court to the condition of tbe Bridge j
across Williams’ Creek, on the read leading from Wiighta
boro’ to Crawfordville, and to learn from the Infericr 1
Court of Taliaferro county whether they are ready and ]
willing to co-operate with them in reconaructing, if ne- (
cessary, the Bridge. It has been impassable for two yean
or more.
We recommend his Honor, Judge Baxter, to hold an o •
tra session of Court, for the purpose of disposing of all the
unfinished or litigated cases, or ofall the business general
ly. We recommend the Inferior Court to enforce the Road
laws strictly, and enforce obedience on the part of tbe
Commissioners in their duty. 1 lie road, leadirg from the
Louisville to the Sandersville road, through Warrentor, Is
in a bad condition. The road at Golden's Creek, on ti e
Sandersville road, is in a bad condition; this matter, we
trust, will be attended to, and save Grand Jurys the tin*
and trouble of presenting them.
In taking final leave of his Uoaor, Judge Baxter, we feel
that we would be recreant to our high regard for him as a
man, and more especially as a Judge, not to make more
than an ordinary mention of him in these Presentments.
We have had the inestimable services of Judge Baxter for
the space of four years, during which* time he has given
evidence of superior qualifications for the distinguished po
sition he has held among us; his urbane and dignified de
portment has won alike the admiration, the kind regard,
aud sincere affection of Bar, Jurors, and citizens generally.
In his retirement to private life, we affectionately com
mend him to the kind regard of that all-wise Providence
whichever watches over the interests of the just and the
good. He has won the appellation of an upright and Im
partial Judge, we know he will ever sustain the character
of an unimpeachable citizen.
To the Solicitor General, Mr. Weems, we return our sin
cere thanks for his polite attention te this body. We re
questthat these Presentments be published in Chronicle A
Sentinel and Constitutionalist A Republic

FACTS CANNOT BE DOUBTED.
pUT Let the Afflicted Read and Ponder.— Moie
than 500 persons in the city of Richmond, Va., alouc testi
fy to the remarkable cures performed by CARTER’S SPAN
ISH MIXTURE. The great Spring Medicine and Purifier
of the Blood is now used by hundreds of grateful patients,
who testify daily to the remarkable cures performed by the
greatest of all medicine, Carter’s Spanish Mixture. Neu
ralgia, Rheumatism, Scrofula,Eruptions on the Skin, Liver
Disease, Fevers, Ulcers, Old Sores, Affections of the Kid
neys, Diseases of the Throat, Female Complaints, Pains and
Aching of the Bones and Joints, are speedily put to flight
by using this great and inestimable remedy.
For all diseases of the Blood, nothing has yet been found
to compare with it. It cleanses the system of all impari
ties, acts gently and efficiently on the Liver and Kidneys,
strengthens the digestion, gives tone to the stomach, makes
the Skin clear and healthy, and restores the Constitution,
enfeebled by disease or broken down by tbe excesses of
youth, to its pristine vigor and strength.
For the Ladies, it is incomparably better than all the
cosmetics ever used. A few doses of Carter’s Spanish
Mixture will remove afl sallowness of compaction, bring
the roses mantling to the cheek, give elasticity to the step
and improve the general health in a remarkable degree
beyond all the medicines ever heard of.
A large number of certificates of remarkable cures per
formed on persons residing in the city of Richmond, Va.
by the use of Carter’s Spanish Mixture, is the best evidence
that there ia no humbug about it. The press, hotel keep
ers, magistrates, physicians, and public men, well known
to the community, all add their testimony to the effects of
this Great Llood Purifier.

TRADE AND BUSINESS.—Tho operartione in the vari

I Nothing has occurred during the put wetk to mitigate
ihe depressing influence of our previous advice* which.r«
I rather .ggrsv.ted than otherwise. The labor questl n has
assumtd a formdithie character in the manufacturing
district!, and serious evils are likely to result before a final
adjustment of differences is arrived at. Many of the op.
eraiires have slguifled their willingness to resume work;
but the altered pcslti in of affairs no longer exercises the
tame influence with the miUowners, whose object is to break
up the “Unions.” In the mean time cholera ii making
advanced strides, and with the high rate if food, and diffl
cu ty of obtaining money, together with the more warlike
account! from the Continent, there seems no Inducement
to extend commercial transactions, particularly to the
East Indies and Australia whence we hear of very hiavy
stocks of ma*lectured goo is being quite unsalable. Our
spinner* and manufacturers ere not supposed to be heavy
hi Iders of either the raw material or the manulactured ar
ticle ; but much of the strength of this market, arising from
tie position of our stock, is lost by the reduced consump
tion iwhich is likely to continue on a limited scale for some
weeks), notwithstanding that fresh tuppUes will probably
t e small for the remainder of this year.
The Manchester market for Goods and Tarns is in as
unsatisfactory a condition as our Cotton market, with a de
gree of unwillingness to operate, alike appiicatle to buyer
as to seller. The falling off in production, rather than the
extent of the demand, keeps in check the accumulation of
stocks; and the position of momtary and political affairs,
causes export homes to limit their orders for new contracts
which Spinners, Ac., aro indifferent to enter upon except
on cordial terms.
Our Grain market has been well attended by ail classes
of operators, and the daily transactions extensive, at very
full prli.i for all articles. Notwithstanding tine weather
and liberal imports of Wheat and Flora, such has been
the conviction that the yield of home grown Grain will
prove seriously deficient—confirmed by threshings of some
portion ol the ingatherings- that large supplies will bein
d s ensable. The complaints, also, of disease among pota
toes being on the increase, and the small stock of substi
tutes, adds strength to the position of holders, and influence
consi ierabie speculacion, which fully supports the advan
ced currency now established. At to day’s market a spi
rited inquiry for Wheat and Flora prevailed, both for con
sumption and to hold over, and the annexed quotation!
were freely paid for large parcels of both. The scarcity of
Ixdiax Corn caused au important advance and an active
dtmanil, sound Yellow being worth SSs. to 895., and White
40s. to 42a. S4BO lbs.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 28.— Oot.on. —Tile sales this week
are again only 27,080 bales, including 1,9600 n Speculation,
4,000 for Export, and the remaining 20,140 to the Trade;
quotations are reduced ‘,d. ft pound.
Political affairs have notimproved ; there is now, how
ever, less probability of any active interference on the
part of England, and with the Danube between them;
and with certain defeat to the attacking party, neither
Turks nor Russians are likely lo coinmnce hostilities.
Money continues in demaud; the drain of Bullion lias
not ceased; and as the iuiprovemant in the Foreign Ex
changes has been trifling, a further rise in the rate of dis-
The Arabia's advices bringing an advance in the Ameri
can markets, and being on the whole iu favor of holders,
had no effect on our Cotton market. Dear money and
dear bread, check all speculative operations, and political
and wages disputes restrict the little business that is done,
more than wliat appears possible.
Spinners seeing the market# declining, are now de
termined to put a i tup to the striking mania, and to work
off their stock. They propose a general dosing of their
stock. They propose a general closing of their mills, should
those men now un strike not return to their work.
In the meantime business is nearly at a stand-still, and
where sales are pressed, lower prices are accepted. In the
current qualities of American the decline is trilling, bnt
the lower grades above and below are very difficult of
•ale.
Some descriptions of cotton are now cheaper here than
in America, and middling, which is quoted to 5> u d.
cannot be laid down here under 6,' a d. to 6, 6 ud.
We cannot continue much longer in this position, and
as the worst is now anticipated, it is more than probable
that an improvement will take place. There has already
been more inquiry since yesterday, and should we learn
by the next steamer that the crop prospects have not im
proved, we should have more demand, and a better mar
kat.
The Manchester market has been dull during the whole
week. In consequence of better news by the last Kast In
dia Mail, there was a little more inquiry, but buyers offer
ed such low prices, that the actual business transacted was
very limited.
LIVERPOOL, Friday Eept. 28.—We have had again a
very limited amount of busiuess doing in cotton, and the
same influences have prevailed this week, with pretty
nearly the same results as noticed in our last. For salea
tde qualities we have again to reduce our quotations about
d per tb,the grades most required being very little lower,
while inferior qualities of American continue nominal in
price and almost unsalable.
Speculators have taken 1,960 bales of American; ex
porters, 8,810 Amerhan and 1,020 Surat, Ac.; and the
trade 20,740 bales The sales to day, 5,000 bales.
LIVERPOOL, Si’pt. 23.— Cotton. —Without any addi
tional information bearing upon our Cotton market, we
have merely to report a continuance of the same dull and
quiet state bf things which has existed for so long a time.
We have aguin to reduce our quotations on all descriptions
Ja per lb. The common qualities of Burats and Ameri
can are the most depressod, and are very freely offered
and dull of sale at the decline.
The Committee of Brokers place fair Uplands at 6?«dd.
Mobile at 6J*d., acd Orleans, at 6‘gd. 1966 American
and 1020 Surat for export. The sales for the week are
25,080 bis.
The Corn Exchange this m irning was well attended by
millers and dealers. Prices and demand ruled very irregu
larly. Wheat was quoted 2d per bus., flour 6d to Is per
sack, and barrel oats Id per bU9. oatmeal 6d to Is per loud,
beans and peas each Is per qr., and Indian corn 2s to 8s
per quarter higher thau on Tuesday.
Correspondence of the Commercial Advertiser.
HAVRE, Sept. 21.—1 wrote you on Monday last by the
Baltic (s ) Yesterday there was a full market both for
Cotton and Flour. The sales ofCotton were only 800 baits
at drooping prices. In Flour, about 8000 bbls. Western
Canal changed hands at 43f.50(f7:44r. bbl.
To-day prices ofCotton are fully If. lower than our last
quotation; about 1000 bales have been taken for consump
tion.
In Flour there has been done a small business, and less
fl-muess in pric:s has been observable; sales 2500 bbls. ut
48.50&44.
The weather continues exceedingly fine and hot; it is
highly favorable to the wine harvest, which, however, will
be short.

OBITUARY.
Died, iB Burke county, on the 28d Inst, Mrs. RUTH A
OBANIAN, consortof IVat Obanian.in Ihe 25th year of
for several years a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. She was endowed by nature with a
disposition kind and unobtrusive ; she had won the good
will and respect of all who knew her. Cut off in the prime
of life, ere the sun of her existence had reached its meridi
an heightb, ilte has been called to appear before the tribu
nal of an all wise God; but she died bearing testimony that
she was prepared to meet him in peace, the was likened
unto the uise virgins—her light was trimmid and burning
awaiting the bridegroom's call; for she gave evidence in
her dying m-tnents, th-t she was only exchanging a world
of sin and sorrow for one of eternal peace and happiness.
She has left a bereaved hnsband and two motherless chil
dren, trgether with many relatives and friends to mourn
their irreparable loss; tut may they feel that their lose is
her eternal gain beyond the silent tomb Peace to her re
mains.
Died at her fkther’sresidence, in Burke county, MAR
' CARET ANN ELIZABETH, eldest daughter of Amanda A.
and Armsted P. Colson, aged two years, eleven months and
t gist days.
'Tis finished, tis done—the spirit is lied;
The child is gone—little Margaret it dead.
! To thy fond embraces we must bid a filial adieu—
, No longer thy footsteps we greet.
A mansion celestial stands full in thy view,
And Paradise welcomes thy Lite.
