sample of Wbeet, of thi* year’s growth, which
was cultivated by fir.K B. Moore, on hie farm
near thi* city. This is earlier than any previous
season that we recollect.
Bust in Wheat —The Dahlouega Signal teys:
Iu many localities iu this county the rust is proving
very destructive to the present wheat crop, and
tenons fears are entertained that the entire crop of
northern Georgia will be destroyed.
THiCßors.—The Macon Journal Jr itetienger
says “We regret to learn by a friend from Lee
ooonty, ‘hat the wheat in that section is very much
injured by the rust—also oats. The bad worm is
committing extensive ravages upon the young corn.
Cotton is promising.
The Peach CRor.—The Charleston Conner
says : “ It was generally expected that the peach
trees especially in our own oity gardens, had es
caped injury from tbe repeated frost? of this spring,
and it is now discovered that much of the fruit’
though nearly half grown, is decaying in the cen
tre, and there will, therefore, probably be a short
crop of perfect fruit.”
Wheat Bctisg in Chicauo.—Tbe Chicago
Democrat says that Monday last was a day of great
eEcitemeut among tbe wheat bnyers of that city. —
Tbe furore raged until dinner time, at which time
over 9-2,000 bushels had changed hands at an ad
vance of four ceDta on Baturday’s prices. Tbe sell
ers therefore realized a profit of S.'?,GJO on the day’s
transactions.
Rust in Wheat.—Tbe Talladega (Ala) Repor
ter says “We have heard a good dea! of talk
amongst our farmers on the subject of rust in
wheat. The rust has made its appearance in many
places, but as yet shows Itself chiefly on the blade,
the stalk not being affected. Many have serious
fears as to tbe wneat crop, while others treat it
ligbtiy and think that tbe crop will sustain but lit
t'e injury. One thing is certain—the rus: has made
its appearance, and there is but little doubt that the
crop will be injured to some extent.”
The Army Worm. —Tbe Chattanooga Gazette
says, we regret to learn that this destructive plague
has already made its appearance in this county, and
is - aking sad havoc in the wheat fields and mea
dows. We are informed of its appearance on seve
ral farms and in the wheat fields, entirely stripping
the stalks, and destroy ing tbs crops. Borne fine
meadows have been mowed down close to the
ground—scarcely leaving a sgn that grass had
grown on the lend. The little destroyers are in
creasing in numbers and migrating from farm to
farm. The prospect for the farmers in this county
for the present year, is truly gloomy. Many far
mers are not ye* done planting com—the wheat,
grass aud fruit crops destroyed—but a very limited
crop of cats sown, it will require more rigid econo
my and unceasing industry to make the two ends
meet, un’it another season.
Crops.—We are sorry to learn that tbe wheat
crops iu tti i section are very ranch injured by fly
and frost. An average half crop cannot be made
We leim that rust has also made its appearance in

We had a fine shower of rain in this place on

that the rust on tbe wheat is not so destructive as
was at first leared it would be. —Sandertmlle Ueor

Destructive Hail Storm —Christian county,
in Illinois, has recent y been visited by a tremendous
bail storm. The Taylorsville Press says that in the
western part of the county the storm seemed to
have Bpem its fury, the ground having been oovered
with hail “to he depth ot twelve or thirteen inches.”
Vegetation has suffered considerably in consequence
of tbe storm, and that tbe eotire fruit, in many
piaoes, has been totally destroyed.
A Curd sity —We were shown yesterday after
noon, by Mr. B F. Sloan, what we considered quite
a curiosity, though others have seen the same ttiiugs
heretofore. It 1s a rose crafted on a peach tree.—
Tbe tree is now iu lull bloom, and must present a
beautiful appearance. The rose is, we th nk. of
the Multi Flora variety, has no scent—and the
branches of course produce no peaches.—Pendle

Wheat. —The wheat crop in this and the onun
ties of Walker and F'loyd, we are sorry to learn
from a gentleman who has been over the greater
portion of them within the past ten days, is quite
unpromising. In many localities, he says, the fly
aud tbe rust have destroyed whole fields, and gives
it as bis opinion that the crop in the counties men
tinned will not be a hall one this year. —Dalton
Times.
The Weather.— After several weeks of dry
weather we were visited on Monday last, by a most
refreshing and abundant rain, which has given re
newed vigor and energy to the whole vegetable
kingdom It was quite opportune too, to our plan
tere, many of whom have been reduced to the ne
cessity of ploughing up a greater portion of their
corn, which had come up finely, and was ready to
receive a propitious season. —Sumpter Rcpub., 7th.
Grain Crops.— Tbe wheat crop in our vicinity
is looking fine ; apparently there will be an abun
dance made. The planters have some (ears in re
ference to the rust, as it has already made its ap
pearance in some of their fields on the wheat blades,
but has not been discovered ou the Btalk We
heatd that in Riohmoud county, that many of the
p antern were ploughing their oat fields and turning
under the oats which have been injured by the rust.
The calamity will be great to the county should it
become universal. —Madison Visitor.
Wheat.—We regret to hear that the wheat crop,
iu many p'aces, is affected almost in the same man
ner that the oat crop wns last year—the terrible
• -ÜBt blight’ having made its appearance. It ie
much feared that the whole wheat crop of this re
gion will be destroyed, in Marshall county, Mies ,
complaints on this head, seem to be increasing. As
the wheat crop has become a very important one
iu this section, we await farther developments with
deep interest. —Grand Junction (Tenn.) i}uid
Nunc.
Hail Storm in Florida. —We understand a
hail storm occurred some ton or fifteen mile? west
of this in the neighborhood of the plantations of
the Messrs. Marshall, in the Patterson Hammock,
doing much damage to the crops. We learn that
those ot Messrs Marshall, Goodman, Hiueey aud
others in the neighborhood, were almost totally de
stroyed by tbe hail. On the plantation of Mr Mar
shall, three hundred acres of cotton was entirely de
stroyed—not a stalk left. We are assured that the
yard of Mr. Hetifey wae covered by the hail the
depth of three inches ; some of the stones as large
as a small ben's egg. This is probably the moat
destructive bails orm with whichour State has been
visited for years. —Madison Messenger.
The Wheat Crop. —There are various reports
with regard to wheat this season. We are, how
ever, from what we have seen in several counties,
aud heard from others, disposed to believe that it
has not been seriously iijured by the mould, aud
will prove a fair average product. It is now so far
matured iu this section that it cannot be anticipated
that it will be attacked by rust or any other casu
alty. The mould is anew disease of wheat and
only attacks the blade to a moderate extent; gen
erally without affecting the head. We noticed the
fields particularly in Upson county, where there
will be a fair average crop —Macon Journal and
Messenger.
Louisiana Wheat. —Northern Louisiana it des
tined to beoome lamous for the production of wheat.
Wheat raised in Claib rue parish wae the first in
market in St. Louis last year, and,was pronounced
to be of tne best quality, aud commanded Ihe best
price.
The prospeot of the crop this year, says th ■ Clai
borne .Gazette, Is very good. Tne wheat fieids are
nearly n_idy for the harvest, which promise? to be
a superb one, both as to quantity and quality, aud
is now reported to u? a J being out of danger from
tbe usual hligtits to which tne crop is subject in this
olimate We are greatly pleased to notice the in
creasing interest our planters are manifesting in tbe
cultivation of wheat. We should make alt of our
breadstuffs at home.— N. O. Pic.
Crops.—Owing to the ravages of the rust the
oat crop in this section is quite as greet u ‘atlure as
that oi last year, and irom what we esn learn very
few farmeis will make seed. We uove heard no
complaint against the wheat as yet, and hope it
may escape the malady.
The ecru crops so far are unexceptionable—t very
body can boost of a very fine corn crop, aod one
farmer told us last week that he should commence
during the present week, to lay by hi? corn. .Many
ot them are far advanced for tbe season, aod the
prospect for abundant orops is quit* flattering.
The cotton wae not materially injured as sup
posed it would be by the late cold weather, and we
doubt but the present crop will be very
id ir.— Squ'hem Enterprise, May 7th.
Rain, Whrat, AtsC Worm, Ac.—The section
of country hereabouts was viol et} with most re
freshing showers of rain, on Monday iuai., which
greatly beuefi’tsd young corn, cotton, gardens Ac.
We regret to learn that the rust has made its ap-
in wheat, which is just cow in a state to
be seriously injured by it, if not entirely ruined
W e greatly tear itjt the plague will be broadcast
throughout this country.
The Army worm have also maae their appearance
on several “arms, spreading devastation wherever
they go, with young corn, wheat, and the kind. If
nothing interferes to put a stop I o their ravages,
there must be an entire failure in theee two crops
this year in this section of country.— Cartersmlie

Wheat—Thrie Crops prom one Sowise.—An

A. Elder, at Indian Spring, in Batts ooanty, in tbe

as it is extraord nary. Has any one else ever tried
It in Georgia f ,
lie hat cow growing on his plantation, near the
Spring, and wist, a fair prospect of harveetieg an
ordinarily good crop, a field of JO acre- of wheat,
which is the third successive crop mail upon (he
same held, since it was first sown by hint in thsit
grain, in 1856 In that year the ground was pre
pared and sowed and a good crop harvested in 1857.
After cutting and gathering it, the fieid was pastur
ed with horses, cattle and hogs, until the fall, when
in November of that year, without resowing, the
land was turned up by the plow and from the wheat
left o j the ground of the previous crop a gor*d ave
rage yield Iras oty vested in the Spring of 1858, as
good in quality and quantit” q was usually made
in tbe neighborhood The field he*.; pastured as
before was again ploughed in in November hi.'S,
wi bout resowing. He has now on this field the
third crop maturing which will probably yield an
an equal turnout, to ei her of tbs previous years,
no seed having been sown on it since the fall of 1856.
This remarkable result, of three crops from a sin
gle sowing, cads with no labor or expense, except tbe
plowing the field harvesting the product, goee
tar to establish the eicgihar oaidisess cf this grain,
as well as its great pertinacity to ve,ecion and
reproduction, even, when exposed to the severest
cold, freezes, rains, and ail other elements ot this
dimeiu calculated to desrroy its vegetating capaci
ties. The j.-;: - er of 1856- 7 were perhaps, as noted
for their coldness, freezes and the like, as any
known to the oldest tnhavdAp.ts of Georgia, whilst
the best winter and spring has* been equally re
markable tor mildness and rainy weatne.. It this
sipsnmem is something new to onr farmers at it is
to us. stay It not elicit etquiry and the facts given
induce others to try it and with equal success ?
What a saving of labor &cd expense in the rearing
ol this valuable article ot consumption ; besides,
wh&t a benefit would result to the lands of this
country, if cor farmers could, from one sowing,
eaisa a succession of Wbeat crops and pastures, by

Tbe following article we take from the Madison
Weekly Visitor of the 4thinst We think the editor
take* the right view of the subject, and that he is
not alone in hie opinion :
Augusta —Few cities of equal size present so
maoy attractions as Augusta. Beautiful, thrifty,
■rad well governed, it presents a rare combination
of teete, bu-iaees. and social order. Situated at tbe
head of navigation, c-n the Savannah river, and
spread out into spacious streets, over a beautiful
plain gradually inclining with the river, it seems
by nature, and original plan, to have been marked
ont as the commercial centre to a large portion oi
Georgia and Carolina. Added to the advantages
of natural position, art and enterprise have given
it a doable importance, by connecting it to the beet
agricultural countries in tne world, from the Atlan
tic to tbe Mississippi and tbe Gulf of Mexico, giving
to it access and outlet to the trade of the interior
and commerce of the world.
Nothing, however, contribute* more to the proa
perity of Augaeta than the character of its business
men. Its merenants and bankers are not lazy,
high headed, bleated aristocrats, but energetic,
sober, polite and high-minded gentlemen They do
not sleep until nine in tbe morning, and eat, pick
their tee'b, and sip wine from 3 K M. until mid
night. On the contrary, the sTree’s are alive with
business activity from sunrise until nine o'clock at
n ght. so that the farmer, or merchant from the
oountry, can make hie parclasre, if desired, before
break tin, ra the morning, or after tea in tbe even
ing i coLSsqiently no business community, when it
hvonoe established relations with Augusta, ever de
sires to change them, and moch of its continued
prosperity has been owing to the fact, that she held
onto allot her o.d friends, and constantly made
new onee by her enterprise and invincible energy.
Everything m the city, at this time, bears evi
deuce of progress and increasing importance ; the

“ *lajor l.ee” In North Carolina.
We are indebted to a correspondent for tbs fol
lowing sketch of “Maj. Lee s” reception in North
Carolina:
Franklin, N. C.,May sth, 1859.
Mr. Editor :— ln the 17th No. of the Chronicle
4- Sentinel, we found the publication of Maj Lee’s
raso&ity, taken from an Atlanta paper. And as
yonr notice saved us from being swamped, we fur
nish you this sketch of the gentleman’s doings,
treat'-bent, duo , in order to thank the Masons and
Odd F’ellows of Atlanta for their trouble in certify
ing
Maj. Lee came to thie place on Tuesday, boasted
largely of his intentions ot planting a colony of
Americans in Mexico, and his former deeds of
cnivalry and glory. On yesterday morning early
he approached a citizen of our place—who iB a Ms
eon and a returned volunteer in the Mexican war—
and by bie representations of sickness and distress,
obtained some money and then addressed himself to
fleecing others. While he was at this, a subscriber
to your paper recollected your notice, and we at
once formed plane.
At lOo'clo k, Mj. Lee was invited to the Court-
House to explain the object cf his visit to North
Carolina, aU of wiiich he did in good earnest. When
he concluded a fluent Doctor in our midst, sanc
tioned the objects of the Major’s, but deemed that
the community ought to have further evidence of
the Major’s integrity, whereupon he read the notice
from your paper. The Major relired immediately,
when a crowd of men, boys aud “Young America,”
armed with sticks, drums, bells, trumpets, bores,
&C., &c , escorted him to his boarding house, got
bis baggage, again tuued up their booster band and
marched ‘he M*j <r through theetreet aud with three
groans and cueers, alternately gtveD, the re
doubtable, chivalrous, valiant end polite Major was

From Cuba —Tbe Filibusters.
The Havana correspondent of the Savauuah Re
publican, under date of tbe 10th inst., says :
On tbe 3d inst the Spanish bark Nueva Apolo,
arrived here from Cadiz She reported having
seen close to tbe coaetot this island, two American
screw st earners under sail crowded with paeseu
gere. Instantly the report was raised that they
were filibusters, and the feverish excitement that
ensued among certain classes in this city, proves
how very slight a hold Spain has upon their regard
or affectione. Tbe same day tbe Spanish propeller
frigate Petronila proceeded to sea, havtug only
about a fortnight’s provisions on board, to look alter
the two reported screw steamers. Sii ce which no
thing has been heard on the subject of an authentic
nature, and an impression prevails that tbe report
was untrue.
A Junta of the chief authoritiee ot tbe Island was
held towards the eud of last week, to take counsel,
as is he ieved, respecting these filibusters, should
they attempt to land ou this island. The Right
Reverend the Bishop ot thie Diocese waa at the
Junta, so the business for which it was convened
must have been of an important character.
The Spanish steamer of war Colon, has gone to
Port au-Priuce, as I am positively informed, with
orders to convey the filibusters landed there, to New
York. If thie proves to be the truth, it shows a
greater degree of generous feeling than could have
been expected, and the thus exhibiting contempt
aud disdain for the puny efforts of the filibusters,
will go much further to put an end to filibusteriem
than the plan formerly followed of imprisoning, pun
ishing, garroting, &o.
The War-Lord Malmesbury.
The special Washington correspondent of the
Herald writes:
Washington, May 11.—The President this after
noon received despatches from Mr. Reed, our Cos n
miasioner to China, who arrived by the Persia, ets
ting that Mr. Dallas and himself had a long inter
view with Lord Malmesbury immediately before
the sailing of tbe steamer, ou the subject of Euro
pean affairs. *
Lord Malmesbury stated, as an absolute faot,
that the British government had just learned that
all negotiations were at an end; that war was in
evitable, and that tho Ministry expected confident
ly that hostilities would break out within twenty
four hours It was believed that the Austrians
would drive the Bardianians at ouce to Genoa, ta
king possession of Turin, with scarcely any resis
tance.
There was also positive information that the
F’rench army wae nut in a condition to immediate
ly take tbe field; and as Austria was advised of
this, Lord Malmesbury believed the Austrians would
endeavor to force an engagement forthwith.
The War News and Trade —The New York
Courier 4’ Enquirer of Thursday, says : —ln all
descriptions of merchandise except Breadstuff? and
Provisions, as well as in shipments, tbe warliko ad
vices from Europe have brought trade nearly to a
stand. There is a great disappointment felt, that
tbe Persia does not bring something definite. Ad
vices by the Nova Beotian, at Quebec, are anxious
ly awaited. Prices of Breadstuffs in this market
are above tnose ruling in British markets, and yet
leave no margin for deliveries trom the interior.—
As regards Cotton, we find good authority of the
opinion that prices are nearly down to a war oasis,
aud after the first clash of arms, there will be a re
action. There is certainly a great feeling of dread
with respect to the consequences of the impending
war, wLioh the complete opening of the campaign
may in a measure remove.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun dated
the lllb, says:
Private letters say that the Persia has brought
out heavy orders on this country for breadstuff? nd
provisions Flour is greatly excited, and has ad

members of the New York Chess Clubs. The Com

eaeiiy won all the games but one.
Telegrams have been received from all parts of
the country, to know what route Mr. Morphy will
take ou his way to New Orleans, so that arrange

Bdtore leaving for home, he will visit Boston
where a public dinner has been tendered him. Hon.

friends and admirers can have an opportunity of
witnessing his piayiag, a limited number of tickets
will be given to the members of the Club, from
whom they can be obtained. At the urgent solici

The Oberlin Slave Rescuers —lnflammatory
Letter. —We stated yesterday that six of the Oberlin
slave reseners had plead gnilty before the United
States Court, at Cleveland, and were fined $25
each, and imprisoned twenty-four hours. The
cases of these prisoners have drawn forth a letter
from the Hon. j. B. Giddings, of Ohio, in which be
indulge* in most inuammamry and treasonable
language, as will be seen by the following extracts
“In disregarding this law (fugitive slave) the
prisoners did right. Their error considered m
sparing the live* of the slave-catchers. Those pirates
should have been delivered over to the colored men
and oonsigned to the doom of pirate*, which sbonld
have been speeddy executed. You are aware that
this is the doctrine which I proclaimed in Congress.
I adhere to it. Had the prisoners executed the
slave catchers promptly, it would have taught the
admmistrf.on c le-’oe not soon to be forgotten
We should have bev-n no more troubled with that
class of miscreants.
“Cleveland is now the Boston of 1775, and I trust
her son* will meet the responsibilities thrown upon
them with becoming firmness. As to tbe future, I
see no other course for the prisoners than patiently
to await events. Their counsel will apply to the
Supreme Court of our State for a habeas oorpus
whenever sentence shall be pronounced upon any
of their number.’’

iMMk of J. W, M. Berrien, Keq,
The Mobile Mercury ot the 13th inE , publishes
a letter dated Greeovine, Ala., May 10th. announc
ing th# death of J. W. M. Berrien, Esq , a brother
of Benator Berrien, of Georgia. The letter is as
follows:
Editors Mercury. hie my painful duty to chroni
cle a sad accident that happened in this vicinity,
yesterday afternoon, by which a Mi. J. W M. Ber
rien tost his life. F'rom the evidence which was
submitted to a coroner’s jury, the following seem to
be the facts:
About one o’clock, on that day, Mr. Berrien
hired a baggy with a pair of horses from Mr. Eli
O Nea! s livery stable, in this town, and started to
goto Warsaw, nine miles distant. When about
four miles on bis way he was overtaken by one of
the most terrific thunder storms that has occurred
here for a great while. It is supposed that his horses
became frightened at the fuiy of the storm and
started to run away, and that he either jumped out
or was thrown out from bis buggy, aud received
such a concussion of the head from ‘he fall as pro
duced instant death. Mr. Willis V. Hare was pass
ing the road, after the abatement of the storm, and
fouLd his body !jmg in the road, with bis face down
ward, and the sand washed about his face and head,
quite dead. The horses were seen to pass a house
a mile and a half distant from the scene of the ac
cident, with the fore wheels of the boggy detached,
and frm the character of the horses, which were
regarded as unsafe, and so represented to Mr Ber
rien at the livery stable, there is no doubt they be
came unmanageable and ran away with him It
w>.s the opinion of medical gentlemen, who examin
ed the body, that he had not been stricken by light
ning, but died of a concussion by a fall.
Mr. Berrien was a citizen of Rome, Georgia, and
a brother of the late Senator Berrien. He was
traveling as agent for the house of Lockett, Bel
cher & Cos., 26 Pearl street, New York. I under
stand he leavee a wife and children.
The money (amounting to about two hundred
dollars) and other valuables, and the baggage of
tne deceas-d. have been given into the custody of
Messrs. Soule, Hart St Barnes The citizen* raised
a sum eafficient to send the body to his friends in
Georgia, under the escort of a gentleman employed
to accompany it, and eyerytning has been done
that could be under the circjmstences. His fam
ily and friends in Georgia and New Y'urk have the
warmest sympathies ot our citizens.
The storm yesterday was of the most terrific
character; the wind blowing with great violence
fifteen or twenty minutes, prostra’iDg trees, fences,
&c. Daring the storm, a funeral procession was
taking place. A tree was blown down across the
roadju9tin front of the cortege, and tbe procee
eion had to be stopped to clear it away. A pair of
horses became frigbton.d and rati off with a c-ar
ria’ge and a lady inside. Fortunately they were
stopped witnout doing serious damage

American Tract Society—The Revolution
ists again Defeated. —The annual meet ngof the
American Tract Society, ou Wednesday, was of
great interest, and decisive in its result. The revo
lutionists were ag tin defeated at all poims. The
old officers were re-elected almost unanimously
Even Rev. Dr. Nehemiah Adams, of Boston, who
is especially disliked by tbe revolutionists, because
ha once published a South side view of slavery, oou
taining sumo truths which they did not relish, re
ceived three hundred and twenty-three votes, out
of a total of three hundred and forty-nine. He re
ceived, iu short, only twenty-six votes tees tnan the
highest number given for any other candidate.
It will be remembered that only life directors, in
addition to the Corporate Board, can vote for mem
bers of the Executive Committee, while for other
ofiioers of the Society, life members as well as life
directors, are entitled to vote.
Repeated attempts were made by the revolu
tionists to procure some action favorable to ths
publication of tracts ou slavery, but without suc
cess. Theii overwhelming defeat last year made
them cautious on the pre-ent occasion, aud bo they
restricted the terms of tbeir resolutions to the slave
trade ; rightly juding that, if in 1859 they could get
the society to publish tracts on the slave trade,
they might in 1861} induoe them to publish on the
subject of slavery. But the memoers saw through
tbe devioe, and voted all their resolutions down,
without distinction. They first refused to instruct
tbe Executive Committee to publish tracts on the
slave trade, on the ground that they had no right to
instruct them at all. Then, instead of instructing,
it was proposed to signify to the Executive Com
mittee that the issue of such a traot or tracts would
afford the society much pleasure ; but tbiß also was
vo ed down. So was every other proposition of
the revolutionists, good or bad.
But as it was foreseen that if the matter W’ere left
exactly there, they would raise the cry that tbe
Tract Society was in favor ot the slave trade, Rev.
Dr. Spring offered an explanatory resolution, de
signed to guard against this impression. Reluc
tantly, after much importunity on the part ot men
known to be conset vative, a sufficient number ?aid
“aye,” to sustain tbe resolution, and it was de
clared adopted. We mean, the explanatory reso
lution offered by Dr. Spring.
The Cleveland Slave Trials. —ln the United
States Court, at Cleveland, on Friday, four prison
ers (not six as reported by telegraph) were allowed
to plead guilty, and were sentenced. Their names
were Mandeville, Niles, Williams and Cumming
and they were all Wellington and not Oberlin men
The Cleveland Herald thus states the matter :
The District Attorney said that he had carefully
examined into the facts bearing upon the cases of
these men, and that, although a breach of the law
had probably been committed, he was satisfied tbe
defendants acted from impulse. He viewed the
eases ot these men in a different light from those
who came ten miles for the purpose of rescuing
John. The defendants were poor men, had vuhiu
tarily come forward to answer to the indictment,
had borrowed money to gel here, and wished to
save expense of counsel, and would, therefore,
throw themselves on the Court, and the District
Attorney asked the Court to make their punishment
as light as possible. The Court thereupon ea led
up Mandevtile, Niles, Williams and Cummings,and
receiving confirmation from them ot the statement
made by the Dis'ric Attorney, sentenced them to
pay a fine of S2O each, to pay the costs of the pros
ecution, and to be confined in the oounty jail 24
hours
The inside history of this matter has been given
by one of these efendants. It seems they had an
interview last evening, Thursday, with the mar
shal, who showed them a letter from Attorney-
General Black, instructing the marshal 10 resist
any State Court habeas corpus writ to the utmost,
and by force. The marshal said he should refuse
to obey any writ from the State Court, aud if he
was arrested for contempt, he expected to be re
leased by Judge McLean on a writ of habeas corpus.
The marshal stated that tbe law would be thor
oughly enforced against the Oberlin men, but there
was no disposition to punish severely tbe Welling
ton men. Under these statements these men were
induced to come into Court aud enter their plea,
aud receive sentence as above.
An Editor in a Tight Place. —‘‘Old Tom Dry
er,” editor of the Oregonian, and member of the
Oregon Legislature, says the Mariposa Gazette,
has at last got wbat his abusive tongue has earned
long ago. The account of his sufferings is peculiar
ly graphic!
“Lasater immediately repeated and repeated that
we were a liar and a blackguard, whereupon we
did take our inkstand from the desk and hurled it
in his face, intending it as a rebuke for his grots
insults. More than half an hour had in'ervened,
wtieD, as we were quietly passing down the princi
pal streat, Laeaier seized us by the throat, at the
same time planting a heayy blow upon our forehead,
and rushed us into the door of a store, where we
both fell upon some opened shoe boxes, Lasater cn
top, still grasping our throat. Alter a few blows he
inserted the thumb of his right baud into our left
eye, and forced it aft ost eutirely from its socket.—
At this time, by a desperate or super-human effort,
we released his grasp from tbe throat, and his thumb
from the eye, aDd fell fiat upon the floor. Lasater
then seized us by tbe hair, and attempted to gouge
our other eye out, which we prevented by turning
our face close to the floor aud locking our lingers
and pressing our bands close to our eyes. Alter
several fruitless efforts to insert bis thumb into our
right eye, he then commenced pounding us on the
back of the head with bis fists. The only aid aud
comfott we had were, the vociferous yell of—“ Give
him bell,’’ “I/ig hie damned eyes out,” “Go in, La
sater,” <Suc. ’
Earthquake at Sea.— Mr. B. A. Cox, a passen
ger in the bark Winonah, arrived at New Y'ork
from Rio de Janeiro, thus describes an earthquake
which was experienced on board tbe above vessel;
April 27th, 3A. M, we were suddenly awoke
from our sleep by a trembling of the vessel, not
unlike a vessel nibbing over a coral reef. Xhe
shock lasted about 30 seconds, and in about two
minutes was repeated more sensibly, the weather at
the time, and before and after was pleasant, with
light easterly breezes, bearing from three to four
points. At 5.15 A. M., felt the third shock mnch
stronger than the two preceding ones; it lasted
from 20 to 30 seoonds.
Onr first impression was that we had struck some
unknown reef; but tbe second and third shocks
folly convinced us that the motion was that of an
earthquake or volcanic eruption On observing the
barometer, we found it had fallen from one to two
tenths, whether from the state of the atmosphere or
from the trembling of the vessel we cannot say,
but think the latter would produce the result. At
the time of the echock we were in about tat. 32,
lon. 70.25, Bermuda bearing about WJ at nearly
6 degrees.
The Austrian Line of Dieence.— All account*
agree that the Austrian army is well officered and
abundantly provided with the munitions of war.
The two great lines of Austrian defence, says a
recent writer, are ike lines of the Miuco, and the
line of the Adige. Os these two the formerfs the
strongest,- it is difficult, indeed, to conceive any
thing.stronger:
The Miccio, Virgil's river—“ smooth-sliding Min
eius, crowned with vocal reeds ’—runs with a deep,
sluggish stream right across the piatn of Lombardy
from the bottom of the Lago di Garda, on the
north, to the Po on the south. Just where it issues
from the lake is Peaaehiera, a Lrtress always for
midable but by the efforts of toe laat tn years,
rendered almost impregnable. At tbe other ex
tremity of the line of defence stands Mantua—
situated in the midst of marshes, which in a few
hours can be oonvdrted into a take by the simple
management of a few dams and sluices. Mantua,
thus strong by natural position, has been treb y
strengthened by art. It Is practically impregnable:
ita earthworks defy artillery, its swamp* are mortal
with malaria, For a weaker force to endeavor, in
face of a stronger force, to pass the line of the Min
ci 1 with Pisstoieria on one flank, and Mantua on
the other, would be amoog the most hazerduous of
military enterprise*; and yet until the line of the
Mtncioi* forced. Austria remains atrar. gicaiiy the
m. -tress of Lombarcy. The line of the Adige,
resting on the vast entrenched camp ot Verona is
at least squally STOng. The command of the Aus
trian troops will devolve upon General Hess.

Vlu u .
St. Johns, N. F , May 17.—The steamship Vigo,
with Liverpool dates to May 6th, was boarded off
Cape Race on Sunday night, by the news yacht of
the New York Associated Press.
The Eastern telegraph lines suddenly ceased
working, soon after tb© first announcement of the
steamers news was received.
No news from the seat of hostilities, or news of
a commercial character, was received.
The only intelligence received was that the Swiss
Federal Assembly had approved the declaration pf
neutrality and of the measures of defence taheb by
the Federal Council. General De ffarier had been
appointed Coilmander in-Cbief of the army.
The Bank of Prussia had raised its rate of dis
count to 5 per cent.
Later India news had been received.
Tantia Topee, and hie merciless band, bad been

from St. Johns, Newfoundland, informs the Super,
iuteudent of the Associated Press, that their Dew
boat, off Cape Race, is folly manned and ecu’p
ped, and will be ready foj sefvioe on and after
Monday, fbth inst.
The arrangements, therefore wiii be more reliable
and extensive than it has ever been before. There
is now very good reason to expect that every steam
er passing during daylight within a reasonable dis
tance of the Cape wil! be boarded by the news
boats of tbe Association.

NEW ORLEANS, May 1 1.-Coko/i-Our last report left
the market almost at & stand, as the uufavorable advices
brought by the Niagara bad induced most buyers to
withdraw to await later European intelligence. Under
similar circumstances the hm-mess of Saturday was con*
fiued to about 1200 bales aud that of Monday to barely
1 ojo bales, wi b the vnglo Saxon’s advices, four days
later, to hand about noou, reporting a lurtner decline of
an£i per pound in the Liverpool market. Y’eateiday
morning European advices stdl three days later were
before the public, brought to St. Johns, N. F., by the
Galway steamer Adelaide, bound to New York. These
advices report the ueeljne ia the Liverpool mr ket, for
the week ended 29thu timo, to have been $ ® i 1 per ft,
(which includes the decline above noticed oy the Anglo
Saxon.) with an unseit.ed market, attributed mainly so
the warlike movements on the Continent. This intelli
gence further impeded aud depressed our own market,
and only a few buyeis came forward tor limited parcels
to complete orders or freight engagements. Under these
circumstances we heard of only some 900 b-les sold;
m&kiug a total for the three days of 3,100 bates. With
respect to prices, we have to remark that there canuot
be said to have been any established market tor several
days past —say since Thursday last—but holders gene
rally have been resisting offers involving any very heavy
decline, and up to yesterday no very marked conces
sions h-jd been obtained in the limited transactions
which took place The Adela.de’s advices, however
tr tally unp.tled the market y*.atsf4ay, Vid the few
were at such irregular prices as to preclude quota
tions, which ave emitted lor the present, as there is posi
tively no market at tue moment.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Gr Preß.cntmcn.il „t the Grnitd Jmy for ihc
Sit O W EK OF THE A PRII. TR 0, ICSS).
The Orv.d Jury for the teoond week cf the Term of
the Superior Court for Bichmocd couu y, m,ke the
following Report :
POJR HOUSE.
They have by a comm ttee visaed the Poor House
and axe able to make a moat favorable report. Os late
years, so mnch has been sa : d about the bad fare and the
wretched condition cf the inmates of this establishmf nt
that it was almost expected that it might be necessary
to present it as a nuisance. The Jury were, therefore,
most agreeably disappointed at the satisfactory state of
things under the charge of the present intelligent and
kinl-hearted keeper, Wm Deas.
The buildings require some repairs and additions
which arejust now beiDg made, bu". there was a genera]
appearance of neatness and comfort throughout. The
inma'es consist of six men, eight women aud two young
children. Two of the women are incurably insane, but
harmless, and one of the children totally blind. Ihe
various sutyects of the County’s ctari y were closely
aud separately questioned, and unanimously expressed
the opinion that never in their lives before had they
been so woll off—that their tablo was well and abun*
damly provided, and was precisely the same as that Os
the keeper and lis fanrlj—ttat they were happy and
disposed to do all they could to assist in the necessary
work, such as washing, cooking, cultivating the garoen,
Ac. The Poor House ia situated upon a high sandy
ridge, half a mile from the Plauk road aud eight miles
from the city, with a well of most exce.le .'t water ;
there are 359 acre 3 of land attached to it, of which per
haps less than 25 are cultivated. Under the present
system, the keeper is appointed for only one year, and
consequently there is no inducement to expend money or
labor in improving the land. Mr. Deas has plated an
orchard of apple trees for the benefit of his successors,
aud w ere he to be appointed for a term, say of five
years, would undoubtedly take immediate steps fjr
manuring the land and bringing more oi it .nto culti va
tu n The Jury therefore recommend to the Inferior 1
Court to make this change in the term cf their appoint*
ments.
HOUSE OF OORRFCTION.
In connection with the suitable provision for our
deserving poor, we beg leave to call the attention of the
Court to the necessity of providing a remedy aga nst
professional Pauperism.
The establishment of a Work House, or House t f
Correction, where the abse-bojitd vagrai.t cou’d find a
home and employment, would either incite him to obtain
a living by his own exeitio.s, or compel him to labt r
for a support The effect of sueh an Institution, would
be that our County would became intolerable as
an abiding: place to the azy and worthless, as the alter
native 1 baviug some poa tive vocation or qu triers in
the House ot Correction, m* st cause either therefor
matiou of the hioits of this class or their penn-nent
withdrawal to ain . e c.mge ialloca’iiy. It is unneces
sary to point out the advantages that would r su t from
a removal of such disreputable ci izena, but it is obvious
that if all vagrants were compelled either to ork or
leave R cbmond Couuy, the labor of this ourtandtbe
cost incident to criminal prosecut ons, would be mate
rially less ned. Ano her most application
cou db~ ma eof such an Institution. We meau, as an
Asylum f r juvenile offenders. A- t, Uere is
on lea establi limeatfor the recepti jq of the pre
cociously vicious, and Lumauitp cannot con entto coa
s gn to our Penile tiary, the vict.mo, it may be of infa
mous example o * our own ou pable inat e tion t • their
m ral inetru tious. How ; hen are they to be dealt
with ‘l fchnll they return to the associates who in
structed them thus ear yin the ways of the transg es
sor, or go to a re uge where they m y receive a
Christian edu ation and learn thf.ir duty to God aid
man l A reply to ibis can nly come from the fu
ttire. Success as the efforts . f u vo
lent officers of si'nil.r institutions-a ;d wh r u .old
we not attempt .t? This is not the occasion for pre
senting details, but we earnestly r commend the sub
ject to the consideration of our c tizens. aud t u-t *uch
public act on may be taken as wi.l justify our Represen
tatives ichaviug the necessary las enacted fir legal
izing ‘*The Richmond Couo y House f Correc ion.”
The Mayor of the Cdy, inhii late message, has reeom
mended the establishment of a Work Ho i6e for prison
ersco fined iu Jail, in wh.cb we heartily concur ; and
•nggest whe;her th s could uOt be un ted with House
of Correction now recommeuded ; and also, whether an
Asylum f jt luebriates might not be connected there,
with.
ROAD?.
The Jury have every reason tobelieve that the R iads
and Bridges thrjughout thecointy generally in
good condition. The veeather during the past winter
has been most uufavorable lor goo roads, but at the pre
sent time wc have heard no complain.s, and of miny
of the roads we can speak from personal knowledge.—
They would, however, call attention to fie condition of
the public road leading up through Summerville, oppo
site the residence of Col. John Milledge. The deep and
unsightly gul y on the sruth side ia continual y en
croaching upon the road, and a substantial trench of
p ankto conduct the water down the steepest portion of
the hill would prove to be wise economy.
FIRE PROOF OFFICE^.
Our predecessors, the Jury of the first week, called
attention to the importance of Fire proof buildings for
the County Records. This i3 a subject cf so great mo
ment, we ask indulgence for again alluding to it About
three years since, four if not five i ourt Houses in the
State were consumed during the winter. The offices of
the Clerk of the Court and of the Ordinary are surround
ed by the rooms of the City officials, where large fires
are kept up, by night and by day, and quantities of dry
wood are stored in adjacent closets ; and when one re.
fleets that, should a fire occur, all traces of titles for a
hundred years, involving millions of property, might be
destroyed in an hour, it seems incredible that the pnblic
can longer remain indifferent. If t a ere was no other
mode of providing for the security of the Records, it
cou’d be easily done by private subs ription, but ihis is
not necessary. The City is largely interested. Wings
can be added near each end of the City Hall, extending
at right angles towards Telfair street, and constructed
in such a way as not to ma*’ the beauty of the buildii g*
and we believe the City Council would join with the
Oouu'y in the work, and divide the expense. We wou and
therefore urge this matter upon the immediate attention
of the Infer.or Court a id the City Council.
SCHOOL HOUSE FOR 4TH WARD.
We have read with great i terest that portion of the
Presentments of our predecessors relating to Common
Schools, aud also the able report of the Ordinary, who
has devoted much attent on to the subject, and we
heartily endorse their rec mmendations. We must,
however, call the attention of the City and County to
one great desideratum. The Augusta Free School occu
pies aconven.ent building in the centre of the city, and,
thanks to the beneficence of one of our late cit zeus, the
lower portion of the cuy is provided with the Houghton
School House —but the 4th Ward, which contains more
than one-fourth of all the children ia the county, bas no
school house whatevtr. A room occupied by a m litary
company, is used by Mr. Mahoney for a school, but it is
utterly unfit for the purpose. There is also a amal 1
school room provided by the Augusta Factory, and
the:e are various small schools in private houses, but a
large aud suitable build ng, in a central location, is ab.
solutely nece sary tor the education of the 500 children
of the 4 h Ward; and we nave little doubt that a lot
could be obtained and a proper buildiDg erected upc n it
tor $5,0000r $6,000, and we hope the City Council will
unite with the Inferior Court in providing immediately
tor this pressing want.
SAHBATH BREAKING.
We present, as a great moral nuisance, which calls
for the energetic action of the city and county police, the
assemblage, on Sundays, of numerous bo ies of black
and white persons, just outside of the corporate limits,
near Hawk’s Gully Bridge, confederat. and for the purpose
or Cock-fighting and Gambling, iu the very ta :e of the
traveling public ; thus desecrating the day aud rnfli’ ting
an indeli le stain upon the moral character of the city
and in addit on to this, the desecration of the day by
hunting aud shooting
SALE OF LIQUOR To NEGROES
We present, as au intolerable grievance, the sale o*
ardent spirits to negroes, and urge the Police to greater
vigilance, or if the laws aren.t sufficient, our Legisla
tors to enact more stringent laws, for the evil is great
and should be abated.
DESTRUCTION OF FENCES
In the vicinity of the city it Las become almost impos
sible to carry on operations, an the feneieg is
continual} carmd off for ;rewod; w-j wouli there
fore recommeud a nure stringent en orcemenL of the
law.
EXEMPTION FROM JURY DUTY
We woild recommend to the proper au hoii ies the
consideration of some plan, by wnich tne n inner
of exempts from Jury duty miy be, at’east, limited ;
tie burthen of duty now failing on that portion of our
citizens, at a season when t ey caD lea t ass >rd the
time nec sssry, to aevote to it, aud the trouhio ex
perienced b> tuediffeient Courts in obtaining jun rsis
fe t both ai adetr ment in tne w-ay of justice, ani an
evil, calling loudly io reform. If the matter is passed
over without some notice, the evi bids lair to increase,
rath r than ainLnbh. Nor w >uld we, as a bocy, be sup
posed to cast any reflection upon either arm of our puo ic
defences, but would aek that in acknowledging their
usefulness, and awarding them all iredit that some
oound may be placed on the encroachments making on
our rights as ci izens of the same community.
And m conc’us on, we weuld suggest that the Clerk
of the Court be requested to present to our Reaator and
Representatives, previous to each Sessi m of the Legis
jature, copies of all Presentments of the Grand Juries
of thisCouuty since the adjournment of the previous Le
gislature.
