Democratic nominee 7 Mr Hopkins promptly re
plied “No, I practice what I preach,” which raised
another about, to the discomfiture of Seward.
Mr. Seward weiit on to remark tb&t be did not
know whether all the candidate** were good enough
to be elected or not, when Mr. Uarris, interrupt
ing, stated tha f be knew them all, and t at they
were every way worthy of the offices to which they
aepired. Seward desired Harris to u*me the men
to which the latter rather taitiy replied that he waa
not on the witness stand, and that he would not
submit to be cross questioned by him.
Mr. Le*t*r, in bis remarks, reminded the party
that these offices were cot created for the benefit of
the aspirantn, but for the good of the people, whose
servants the office holders were, a fact which seems
to be almost entirely lost sight of in this fast age.
Mr. Ely made eome very aeneible remarks, among
others, that the only good reason for a caucus was
to concentrate the fetreegth of a majority party,
when that majority was *<, small that it might well
induce Ran* of the uraocess of the minority. With
the present Democratic majority of 197 to joint

There was very nmch the lock of a general row

till human nature gave way and sleep, that sweet

Mill .EDoevii.LE, Nov. 6th, 1859.
‘lo-day the weather h quite warm, and the duet
H etifferable. Besides the clouds raised by the
lof carriages ami passengers on foot and on
horseb* c j li there is occasionally a heavy, equal‘y
puff of eait wind. The air has a yellow, dim look
ai if tilled vitb dust aud smoke, but the sun looks’
cheerily it a’!. One might well think it
■till was mid smnmer to-day, were it not for the
Almanac, the ye. ow ’eaves lying by the way, and
the bright, flashing autumnal tint of the ladies’
costumes. There lamuoh more of the quiet, Sabbath
look which wo usually associate with the day, this
Sunday, than last, for the eager, restless.candidatea
have gone, or sobered down. The elect look very
rober and comfortable, and the defeated, who still
remain, seem to have resigned themselves to their
fate with Christian fortitude. The only elections
now to take place are for two Judges-of the Su
premo Court, set for next Thursday, the 10th, and
fur U. 8. Senator, which may be postponed. Th* y 9
seetns to be a good deal of very excited feeling Ja
the question of the Judgeship, especially as regards
Judge Banning. It appeard that William Dough
erty, Kaq., has issued a pamphlet, a copy of which
1 have tailed to get hold of, goiug to show the gross
unfitness oPßeuuing lor the position he occupies on
the bench, and the great impropriety and wrong
of his re-election to the office which be now occu
pies. You will i rootled that th© Bcunto (©solution
proposing to bring on the eleetiou of Judges yes
terday (Saturday) was amended iu the llcuse, so as
to postpone the election till next Thursday.
This was in order to uflord time to Judge Ben
uiug to get out a pamplet in reply to Mr. Dougherty.
That reply was circulated quite extensively yester
day aud last night. It is quite severe aud quite
personal. The appearance of things at present,
certainly indicates a collision, whether a street ten
oomre, or the more polished and pleasant resort to
pistols at teu paces, remains to be seen. Iu the
meantime, the talk is that Dougherty is preparing
a rejoiuder, the character ot which shall be such
that Btmuing will have no alternative but to ask a
meeting, beyond the border j. It is feared too, by
the opooneuts ot Bt im ing, that Dougherty's assult
will help Benniug befote the Legislatuie, aud it is
commonly talked, that there is an evident attempt
on the part of the Opposition to name the Judge,
when that properly belongs to the dominant ma
jority—the Demooiatlo parly.
But caucus nominations have utterly failed so
tar in the session, nod 1 think the Democratic par
ty dare not now attempt to nominate the Judges.
For whom the Opposition will vote cannot be told,
doubtless they will be divided upon that as other
elections, but I sincerely hope to see Henning bea
ten. lie may be entirely incorruptible, a perfectly
pure and upright Judge, and thoee who know him
best speak very positively iu the affirmation. But
a Judge, to render entire sa isfactiou to the people,
ought to be, like Cupar’s wile, above suspicion
even. It will be remembered, and it is a fact of
much significance, tba: one ot the most wily jug
glers this State ever produced, the late John Stur
gis, insinuated himself into the Htate Senate from
Muscogee, a county with a very considerable
minority against liiu party, tor the express purpose
ot electing Henry L. Benning Judge of the Supreme
Court, and that Sturgis, his aiders aud abettors
plotted Henning's election for the express purpose
ot hie presiding in certain B ink cases.
The Legislature by lome means found out what
was going on, and the opposition to Benniug be
came extremely violent,so much so that there can
be no doubt hie frieuds and luuehmen made all kinds
of promises m order to secure his election. Henn
ing may not have been privy to these plots and
promises, but a large number ot people will believe
so to the end, and this belief of theirs is strengthened
by his subsequent i\ ndttCh on the bench. Under
the circumstances, his election could culy beau
unimportant personal triumph, probably preju
dicial to public justice, and very likely to increase
he opposition already te!t towards the Supreme
Court by a large number ot our people.
The telegraph wires are already up iu this place,
but not laid along the whole line to Gordon yet. Iu
a very tew days we shall be able to flash the news
along, provided anything worth telegraphing should
turn up.

Dy the majority to let the beard grow, and not cue
man in teu had the nerve to tollow the example of
the patriarchs and apostles. Now uineteeu men
and youths out ot twenty are “bearded like the
pard,” either wearing the whole beard,or leaving
at least a small portion of the tact unshaven. The
sty lee of beards are as various as the races ot the
wearers, aid there is great variety of color, too. A
tew yeare ago beards were dyed much more gener
ally than now At present black, especially died
Mack, is decidedly out of fashion. A golden, or a
firery red now would sell better than any Pha
kn. One sees less frequently than any other
lashion, the simple Prince Albert Imperial, next the
English Mutton Chop, or small side whiskers. A
considerable number wear the moustache alone,
some the full beard, including moustache, but by
far the largest number wear full beard, excluding
the moustache. The prevailing colors are sandy,
red and chesnut, and scarcely a dyed beard can be
found in a day s walk. Among the smooth faces we
notice Toombs, Iverson. Thomas, Holt, Miller aud
a few others.

Eagle Captured by Children.— We saw
yesterday, an Eagle which was captured a day or
two since, some five or six miles from this place, by
Mr Audersou Williams* children. It had pitched
upon a goose in a pool of water, and getting wet
could not rise with its prey, when the children ran
up and captured it—a rather dangerous experiment,
we should think from the appearance of the bird.—
It is about the size of a large Turkey, and nearly
black, except its head, which is of a whitish color
with yellow around its beak, and on its legs, which
make it a most beautiful bird. We have not seen
them often enough to say whether this is a large one
or not but presume it is about the medium eize.

Snake Bite.— We are informed that a very
curious and amusing incident occurred in this
county a few days since. A man who had been
dissipating very much for some time past, went
home to his family one morning with a well filled
jug of Dean’s poorest whiskey. As he happened to
leave the jug not well guaided, his better half
secretly hid the jug and contents away so snugly,
that the victim of hard drink was entirely unable
to find it, after trying the persuasive and the au
thoritative in vain ; he was left alone, aud iu a few
moments struck upon the bright idea of crying
aloud that he was snake bit ; he having found u
small snake, and by cutting his hand with a knife,
succeeded in imposing the story upon his frightened
wife, and she being lold that whiskey was the best
of remedies, immediately produced the jug M and her
lord after imbibing very freely, soon got well of the
kuife cuts. —Elberton Star of the South.
The State Fair a Farce.— The Atlanta Con
federacy seems not to have been very favorably
Impressed with the exhibition of Georgia skill and
industry which took place in that city last week,
under the auspices of the Georgia Agricultural As
sociation. It says:
“ To acknowledge that the name Empire State
is applicable to Georgia at this time, the question
may justly be asked, how long then can 3he regain
this same, if her Agricultural, Mechanical and bo
vine State exhibitions are oriterious from which to
deduce a correct conclusion ? Georgia may be
claimed as the Empire State of the South, upnu the
grounds that she has more Railroads and a greater
amount of mineral resources than any of her south
ern sisterhood, but in agriculture, the mechanic
arts, stock breeding and stock raising, she is far,
far behind Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mis
eouri. And, instead of advancing in the proud
march of progress, “The State Fair” as it is called,
just held iu Atlanta, has proven to be a grand State
Farce, aud that Georgia, as here represented, has
retrograded, and unless the people through repre
sentatives in the next Legislature, will make au
appropriation as all other States have, our State
exnibiiions will continue to be State Farces, to the
mortification and chagrin of every proud sou of the
■oil.”

Death of Gov. James C. Jones.
From the Memphis Enquirer of Saturday, the
30th of October, we copy the followng notice of
the death of Ex-Gov. Jones :
It is with deep regret that we are called upon to
announce the death of Hon. James C. Jones, who
died at his residence, near this city, at about ten
minutes after four o'clock yesterday evening. Gov.
Jones has played a prominent part in the history of
the State and of the Nation, and the announcement
of his death will bring gloom and sorrow to many a
heart beyond the circle of his immediate friends
and acquaintances.
He was born in Wilson county, Tenn., on the
Bth of June, 1809, and began life with but a limited
education, aud without the aid of fortune or influen
tial triends.
He entered the arena of politics in 1839, and was
elected as a member of the Legislature from Wilson
county. In 1841 he was nominated as the Whig
candidate for Governor, aud after a canvass un
paralleled in the annals of the Southwest, succeeded
by a majority of about two thousand five hundred
votes over James K. Polk. In 1843 be again de
feated Mr. Polk tor Governor, by an Increased
majority. In 1850 he was elected to the Senate or
the United States for a term of six years.
In ail the various public trusts committed to his
keeping, Gov. Jones proved himself to be a man
not only of extraordinary ability and energy, but
also of extraordinary fidelity to the interests of his
constituency. Through life he was a warm and
devoted friend to Henry Clay, and the ;aat illness
of that great statesman was soothed by t-ia constant
presence and attention—the last throbbing of that
mighty heart gradually grew taint, and finally ceas-
ed in his presence.
But it is not our purpose now to record the pub
lic -ervie6B of the deceased. Another time will
suffice for that; still the general gloom which now
pervades this city, wherever the fact of bis death is
known, reminds us that there are some of them
which cannot be passed over without disappointing
the public expectation. He found Memphis almost
a village when he came here to reside. In a period
of about twelve years he made it a magnificent city.
He organized a system of Internal Improvements,
and by his indomitable energy and perseverance
carried it into successful operation, which has made
this city wbat it is—the gem of the South-west.
The first planked road enterprise owed its exis
tence to him. lie spoke the Memphis aud Charles
ton Railroad into being, and up to the very hour
when he was struok down by the fatal disease
which terminated his exigence, he was engaged in
other schemes to promote the prosperity and wel
fare of the city. His family may rnonrn the loss of
a loving husband, and a kind and gentle father—his
friends that of the genial companion in ail their
hours of joy and warm-hearted sympathizer in all
their trials—the Nation, that of a Statesman who
has made his mark upon the records of the past,
and to whom it could confidently look lor wise and
salutary advice in the future; but all these com •
bined do not more than express the loss our city has
sustained
Peace lie to his ashes. For many years we have
been associated with him in private and public
life, and no mourner more sincere will follow his
body to the tomb.

The following preamble and resolutions were
introduced in the House on Thursday by Gibson
of Richmond, and passed unanimously :
Whereas, The late attempt at Harper’s Ferry in
the State of Virginia to excite a portion of the slaves
of the South to insurrection, has produced the high
est degree of indignation in the minds of the South
ern people against the perpetrators of that outrage
their aiders and abettors, aud affords just ground to
apprehend a renewal of their efforts iu other places;
And whereas, the action of Gov. Wise and Presi
dent Buchanan meets with cur unqualified appro
bation, we deem it incumbent upon ihe members of
the Legislature of the State of Georgia to give the
most authoritative expression of their sentiments.
Therefore
Resolved, That we regard the effort to excite the
slaves of the South to a eerviie insurrection with
the most intense indignation, and trust that the par
ties to this insane and treasonable plot, may meet
with the most prompt and signal punishment, be
lieving as we do that while it will he meting out a
just retribution lor their crime it will exert a whole
some influence iu deterriog others from countenan
cing similar movements.
Resolved , That the prompt and energetic action
of Gov. Wise, of Virginia, and of President Buch
anan, in suppressing the outbreak at Harper’s
Ferry, and in their efforts to capture the insurgents,
ev’.Dce a degree of manlinees and patriotism, hon
orable alike to them and worthy of our warm ad
miration.
Resolved, That we pledge the State of Georgia
to uphold and support the State of Virginia and the
President of the United States in the position they
have assumed, in connection with this unfortunate
affair, and wo earnestly counsel the utmost vigilance
in guarding against the r-ou, rence of a similar con
spiracy, in our own borders, or elsewhere at the
South.
Resolved , That a copy of the foregoing preamble
aud resolutions be transmitted by the Governor of
the State of Georgia to the Governor and Legisla
ture of Virginia, aud to the President of the United
States.
The same was then ordered to be transmitted to
the Senate without delay.
Ilaviliind, Chlchenter & Co’s Store*
Among the rnauy splendid fronts and spacious
stores constructed in the city during the past few
years, that of Messrs. Haviland, Chichester &l
Cos., stands pre-eminent. It i3 a beautiful structure
—au ornament to the oity, and well merits the fol
lowing notice which we find in the Charleston
Mercury :
Stone Mountain Granite. —This important
building fabric is being very generally used in our
neighboring city of Augusta. During the past
summer several noble fronts of the Stone Moun
tain granite have been erected in that city, and we
have just learned that Messrs. Haviland, Chi
chester Sc Cos., wholesale druggists—a branch of
the well-known house of Haviland, Stevenson Sc
Cos., of this city—have in course of election, aud
nearly completed, a most spacious store, the front
of which is acknowledged to be the most elegant
in the city, of the gothic style, cut out of this na
tive granite, by native artists.
The new store of Messrs. Haviland, Chiohester
& Cos. gives them a floor room of over nine thou
sand square feet. Its site is within a few doors of
their old premises, winch they have ocoupied on
Bread street for the last twenty-seven years.
It may be interesting to our readers to know
something about this granite. Stone Mountain is
situated in DeKalb county, Georgia, about 150
miles from Augusta. We gather from Mr. Thomas
Rigby, the owuer of the only regular quarry, the
following particulars : The quarry is situated on the
north side of the mountain, two miles from the
Georgia Railroad track The immense boulders
and shafts are hauled by appropriate teams and de
livered to the railroad at thirty cents a cubic foot,
or at Augusta at fifty cents, in the rough. It is
worth about thirty cents additional when dressed.
A Mr. Rankin has a lease of the largeet portion of
the mountain, and gets out a great deai of the stone,
but as it is taken from the eurfaoe, or wherever it
is most couvenient, the stone is not so desirable as
that from the quarry. About twelve men are con
stantly employed in the quarry. We cannot say
how many tone of stone are annually got out, but
the quautity is very great. Large quantities are
likewise forwarded weekly to Macon. Atlanta,
Rome, Chattanooga, aud other interior cities.
Mr. Rigby employs from fifteen to twenty men at
bis gramte yard iu Augusta, most of his workmen
have learned the trade at this yard. Heretofore,
sand stone, iron and Massachusetts granite, have
been employed in Augusta, but now the builders
are turning their attention to Georgia granite, being
much cheaper and infinitely of finer quality than
any found North.
American Timber for the British Govern
ment.—lt may not be known to our readers that at
this time there are being cut and prefared at the
Rowlesburg Iron and LumbeqCompany s Mills Vir
ginia, some fifty thousand sticks of white oak, for
gun carriages for the British Government. Rowies
burg is on the Cheat river, where it is crossed by
the Baltimore Sc Ohio Railroad, on which road the
timber is carried to Baltimore and then shipped to
England. The person who is getting this timber has
been shipping white oak timber to the British Go
vernment, or for the British markets, largely during
the last two or three years, and has sent to Liver
pool from Baltimore this year nearly or quite twenty
large ships’ cargoes. We learn he has just charter
ed four ships, the last of which is over a thousand
tons burden, to load immediately for the same port.
He has over three hundred men employed in
getting timber in the mountains, near Rowlesburg—
a part of which is for the entire frame of a ship of
eighteen hundred tons. His expenses in the woods
and :or railroad freight alone, are said to be over
five hundred dollars per dsy.
The Cheat river oak is said to be the best yet
imported into England, and far surpasses the Cana
da oak, which it is fast superseding.
Mr. Thornton, the gentleman above referred to,
is said to have contracts for as much timber as he
can get out for near two years ahead.
The large forests of white oak that but a few
years ago were everywhere over New Jersy, Dela
ware, Maryland, and Eastern Virginia, have nearly
ail disappeared, and it will not be many years till ail
these States will be entirely stripped of this valuable
species of timber. We think our Government
should look ahead a little, so that our live and white
oak timber may not ait be carried away and we left
without a supply.— Philadelphia Press.
Iron Discovered in Texas. —A discovery of
great importance has just been made by the State
Geologist in Texas. It is no lees than the discovery
of vast bodies of iron ore. as well as tertiary coal or
lignite, bed? of limestone, pipe-clay, fire-rock and
hydraulic limestone, in the region of oountry imme
diately south of Harrison county, in which Marshall
is situated, and between that and the point or
points on the Sabine river at which the Houston it
sty Orleans railroad and the Opelousas rsilroad
will reach the river, ihe geologist commenced in
Travis county, which contains Austin, the capital
of the State, and proceeded nearly east through
Harris county (Houston) to the Sabine, and thence
np towards Marshall. But a small portion of the
State has therefore been yet explored, yet the dis
coveries already made are of great importance, not
only to Texas, but to Louisiana, and especially to
Aew Orleans. It must have a direct and powerful
bearing upon the oonstrnctioo of the Opelousas
railroad, and the road to connect this city with
Houston as well as tbe Southern Pacific Railroad.

Protection to liiremen. —Some curious expe
riments have recently taken place at Paris to test a
D *r f ° r p L otectlll K firemen from the
action of the flames and enabling them to reeist
the strong heat. It consists of gloves made of
amianthus a kind of filamentous, incombustible
mineral, a hemiet of the same material fitting into
another of wire gauze end a shield, beeidee other
garments of the above-mentioned materials. Three
men having pnt on the giovee were enabled to
carry iron bars at a white heat for three minotee
without being obliged to let go their hold. Straw
was afterwards set fire to in a large cast iron
caldron, and continually kept np while a fireman
wearing the doable helmet above mentioned stood
above the flames, which he warded off with the
shield. Although they rose at times above hie head
he was able to keep bis poet for a minute and a half.
Numerous other experiments were tried, which
demonstrated the enocees of the materials used.
Harper’s Ferry Items.
A Richmond letter in the New York Herald
says :
lam informed to day that it is the intention to
try Cook, the Hafper s Ferry rebel, in the U. 8.
District Coun tor that dietrict. This course has
been determined upon with a view to compel the
attendance of Beward, Greeley, WilsoD. Howe and
■ the other outsiders, who are suspected of complicity
in the late insurrection. If, in the progress of the
trial, their guilt as aiders or abettors shall be estab
lished, the probability is that they will be assigned
positions in the dock beeide Cook, and subjected to
the same ordeal that led to the majority of them
beiog brought forward as witnesses. The list to
be summoned will embrace every individual,
wheresoever te may reside, whoee name has been
identified with this movement in any connection,
however remote. As to their at pearance in obe
dience to the summons, that must be presumed as
certain, inasmuch as it ii a question involving the
ability of the federal government to enforce obedi
ence to its summons. This is the only means te
insure a full development of the origin and progress
of this movement, and of the relations to it of tho
prominent men of other States, whose moral com
plicity, at least, has been already fixed. It will
prove the moet interesting and important trial in
the criminal annals of this country.
Fred. Douglass, the negro, in a letter (dated
Canada West, Oct. 31,) abounding with impudence,
says in relation to Cook’s charge of ocwardioe :
Mr. Cook may be perfectly right in denouncing
me as a coward. I have not one woid to say in
defence or vindication of my character for courage.
I have always been more distinguished for run
ning than fighting—and tried by the Harper’s
Ferry insurrection test. I am mest miserably
deficient in courage—even more so than Cook,
when he deeertsd his brave old Captain and fled to
the mountains. To this extent, Mr. Cook is entirely
right, and will meet no contradiction from me or
from anybody else. But wholly, grievously and
most unaccountably wrong is Mr. Cook, when he
asserts that I promised to be present in person at
the Harper’s Ferry insurrection. Os whatever
other imprudence and indiscretion I may have been
guilty, I have never made a promise so rash and
wild as this. The taking of Harper’s Ferry was a
meaeme never encouraged by my word or by my
vote, at any time or place; my wisdom or my
cowardice, has not only kept me from Harper’s
Ferry, but has equally kept me from making any
promise to go there. I desire to be quite emphatic
here—for of ail guilty men, he is the guiltiest who
lures his fellow men to an undertaking of this sort,
under promise of assistance, which he afterwards
fails to render. I therefore declare that there is no
man living, and co man dead, who, it living, could
truthfully say that I ever promised him or anybody
else, either conditional or otherwise, that I would
be present in person at the Harper’s Ferry insur
rection. My field of labor for the abolition of slavery
has not extended to an attack upon the United
States Arsenal. In the teeth of the documents al
ready published, and of those which may hereafter
be published, I allirm that no man oonnected with
that insurrection, from its noble and heroic leader
down, oan connect my name with a single brokeu
promise of any sort whatever. So much I deem it
proper to say negatively.
1 he time for a full statement of what I know, and
of all 1 know, of this desperate but sublimely dis
interested effort to emancipate the slaves of Mary
land and Virginia from their cruel task masters has
not yet come, and may never come.
* * # n #
I have no apology for keeping out of the way of
these gentlemanly United States Marshals, who are
said to have paid Rochester a somewhat protracted
visit lately, with a view to an interview with me.
A government recognizing the validity of the Dred
Scott decision, at such a time as this, is not likely to
have any very charitable feelings towards me, and
if lam to meet its representatives, I prefer to do
eo, at least, upon equal terma. If I have committed
any offence against society, I have done bo on the
soil of the State of New York, and I should be per
fectly willing there to be arraigned before an impar
tial jury ; but I have insuperable objections to be
caught by the hands of Mr. Buchanan, and “ bagged ”
by Gov. Wise.
Some reflections may be made on my leaving on
a tour to England, just at this time. I have only
to say, that my going to that country has been
rather delayed than hastened by the insurrection at
Harper’s Ferry. All knew that I had intended to
leave here in the first week in November.
Richmond Enquirer and Old Brown. —The
effort now being made by the Republican journals
and other Northern papers, to effect a communica
tion in the sentence of Old Brown is thus noticed
by Gov. Wise’s organ, the Richmond Enquirer:
“To us it appears that John Brown, at hard labor,
would be a continual source of supply for Abolition
fanatioism; that his groans would resound from
Riobmond toEastport, and from the James river to
the St. Lawrenoe ; that every meeting of the Black
Republican and Abolition parties would herald forth
resolutions for bis liberation ; that the stump, in
every election, from a Constable to the Presidency,
would be redolent with praises of his heroism and
curses upon his imprisonment. Not so with John
Brown executed. He has forfeited bis life, and
though possessed of many trails of character that
were worthy of a better fate, pity aud coinmieera
tion are closed against the murderer of Turner,
Beckman, &o.”
At the possibility of Governor Wise granting the
convicted man any executive clemency in order to
secure bis seat in the Presidential chair, the Enquirer
indignantly hoots.
A White Man Lynched in Louisiana for
Stealing Negroes.— The Shreveport iLa.) Gazette
has the following account of the lynching of a white
man who was arrested in New Orleans for stealing
negroes, and was taken to Shreveport:
“Our city has been infested for eome time back
with bands of thieves and murderers. Several of
oir citizens had lost their negroes, and no traces
could be found of them. At last Mr. Win. Howell,
of this place, lost a negro, and offered a reward for
his recovery. The description of the negro reached
the New Orle ins police, and they were on the look
out. They apprehended a white man, who was
travelling under the name of Davis. He was trying
to sell a negro answering to the description given
of Mr. Howell’s, and the police wrote on here of the
facta of his apprehension. Two of our citizens
went on to the city to recover the property, and
bring the thief back to justice. They found the
negro to be the missing one of Mr. Howell’s, and
the thief to be a man who has been living here for
about a year back, under the name of Etherington.
His real name is eupp-sed to be Henry; but his oc
cupation has caused Aim to assume various aliases.
He had also two more negroes with him, which he
stole from Dr. Culbertson, of this parish. Yesterday
morning they reached Shreveport from New Orleans.
The rest of Ihe facts are not fully known. Ether
ington, or Henry, was discovered at daylight sus
pended by the neck from a tree in the suburbs of
the town, quite dead, with his hands and feet
chained. He had undoubtedly been lynched.”
Indian Outrage on the !Bantn Fe Route.
Beach Valley, Santa Fe Road, Oct 10, 1859
The mail from the West arrived here this morning
bringing the news of another horrible massacre by
the Indians. The mail man found the bodies of four
persons—three men and one woman—murdered and
scalped, lying by the roadside. Around them lay
scattered several letters, but as they were written
in French, no one in the party could read them, and
It still remains to be ascertained who they were or
where they were from. Beside the body of the
woman sat a dog, watching eagerly her face, as if
to catch a smile or word of recognition. Encircling
his neck was a neat collar, bearing the name of
“ Haase.”
The officer in command of the escort that accom
paniedl the mail, took the dog by force from the
place where they had buried the dead, and was
bringing him in with the intention of keeping him,
bHt when they had proceeded about twenty-five
miles he escaped and started back toward the place
from whence he had been taken. When the mail
again passed, the faithful creature lay dead on the
grave ot his mistress. The troops took charge of the
wagon and the goods that were left, and will take
them to Fort Riley.
P. S.—Since writing the above I have heard of
still another murder. The murdered man was com
ing in with a small party that were returning from
the Peak. He was riding about a quarter of a mile
in advance of the wagons when his party heard a
terrible ehriek. They imm diateiy recognized his
voice, and hurried rapidly forward, and found him
a lifeless corpse, but could see nothing of his mur
derers. This makes eleven persons that have been
murdered within a short time by these terrible red
men.— Cor. Leavenworth Times.
Ruffianism in St. Louis.—Elsewhere we pub
lish what few particulars we can gain concerning
the mysterious deaths of two men on the same day
in different parts of the city, in daylight aud in
public streets. They will at once bring to mind
several other instances of a similar kind which have
occurred recently—instances of persons found dead
or dying in populous thoroughfares with gashes iu
their heads, cuts in their bodies, or lacerared limbs.
It is time this matter was looked into. It is time
that citizens were gravely inquiring what the city
is coming to. Burglaries are frightfully general.
Pocket picking is extremely common. Citizens are
thrown down in the streets and their property taken
from them. Strangers are overtaken by highway
men and murdered’ There is at this time no safety
here for property or life. If the bodies of mangled
men are to be picked np on the sidewalks, what
horrors might not the river, deep wellß, sewers and
old garrets unfold 7 If the broad glare of sunlight
looks npon such deeds as some we have recorded
within the paet two or thiee weeks, what silent
mysteries may not be bid under the shadows of the
black wing of night ?
We do not want to needlessly alarm anybody,
but we feel it our duty to say to all that great cau
tion is needed now for self-protection and self
defence. The town is full of villainy of every de
scription, and there is no use in concealing the
fact.— St. Louis Republican.
Horrible Cruelty in the British Army.—
The London Times gives the following report of a
case of flogging in the British army for desertion :
The first man, Darned Green, bore hie punish
ment as stated by an eye-witness, ‘-like a true
soldier,” but the second, named Davis, a young
recruit, protested bis innocence of the crime ot
desertion, bellowed and Bcreamed for mercy, and
supplicated Col. Talbott, and the medical officers,
and others who were present, to have compassion
on him, or he should die. His back was covered
with a mass of large, red, inflated boils, which
bled profusely at every stroke, and reddened the
ground under hie feet, npon which the oat was
ordered to be withheld for a few moments, wheD,
finding that bis punishment was not at an end, he
gave vent to. exclamations for mercy, and partly
succeeded in delivering himself by force, from the
straps which bound him to the halyards. The pun
ishment was again ordered to be continued, when
at every succeeding stroke his cries and exclama
tions were most lamentable, insomnch that the
officers and men swooned away at the sickening
spectacle, and had to be carried into tbe open air.
One officer and upwards of twenty non-commis
sioned officers and men long in the service fainted,
and others stopped their ears and closed their eyee,
lest they, too, should become unnerved, and be
subject to the reproach and ridicule of their
comrades.
Full of Inventions. —A friend, who has been
something of a nautical man in his day, relates the
following incident, which occurred while prose
cuting a voyage in the ship Chalcedony, ot Salem :
“ A few years ago, while sailing along the coast
of Brazil, in moderate weather the chief mate of oar
vessel made a kite for the purpose of pleasing the
boys who were passengers on board the Bhip. It
was flying finely, witz a liberal Boope of twine at
tached to the mizzen-mast head, mnch to the
amusement of the juveniles, when an English ship
came in sight. She hoisted her colors and altered
her course to intercept us. When near enough,
we both hove to, the Englishman sending his boat,
manned with four men and tbe chief mate. On
reaching the deck, the first officer asked for some
tobacco ; bnt it was apparent to every one that he
was sent on board for another pnrpoee. After
pacing the deck nervously for a tew momenta, he
mastered sufficient sonrage to call the captain one
side and inquired ‘ what we bad flying over the
stern V * Only a kite to please the children,’ was
the reply. ‘ Onr skipper sent me on board,’ said
the mate, ‘ thinking it was a sort of machine to get
the longitude ; yon Yankees are so full of inten
tion*.’ ”—Boston Transcript,
OiSAWATTOMix Brown. —A bolder or worse
man than that same Ossawattomie Brown, tbe
world never knew. Hia single virtue, “lined with
a thousand crimes,” waa bull-dog courage. Fa
natic to the highest degree—a pupil, in politics, of
the Giddings school—he has been taught to believe
that tbe kiiliDg of a slaveholder was an act which
God would ap prove. When in this city last spring,
in his lectures, he told of his stealing negroes abd
running them to Canada—of his stealing horses,
which he then bad with him for sale—of his shooting
down slaveholders, and of other acts equally atro
cious. And now, said Brown, ”1 wish to know if
the people ot Cleveland approve of what I have
done. Those who approve of my act* will say
‘aye.’ ” and more than one-half of his audience,
composed of abolitionists, shouted “aye,” whilst
cot a single “nay” was uttered by any one present.
finch approval as this—and the qnestion was put
at all his .ecturee—gave Brown confidence that his
party would sustain him in whatever be might do
against tbe men of the South, and thus embolden
ed the miserable wretch, by servile insurrection,
sought to overthrow the government and bring
himself to its head.— Cleveland Democrat.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life mfhe county of Talladega, Ala.,
OcL 15,1859, Mr3. ELIZABETH O’ B KEITH, consort
of John Keith, and daughter of Col. F. A., and Mrs.
Frances J. Bstt, formerly of Columbia county, Ga.,
where the deceased was born January 14,1829, aged 30
years, 8 mouths and 1 dty.
Death, under all circumstances, strikes the human
mind with terror, but when this “ grim monster” selects
for his mark, one in the very meridian of life, snrroncded
by many children, to whom they had been entrusted by
the wisdom of Heaven to be reared and nurtured, es
alone a mother can nurture and rear them, we are led to
exclaim bow inscrutable are thy ways and past finding
out, O God!
We have known the deceased long and intimately,
and can truly testify to her many noble and endearing
traits of character—qualities that won for her the re
spect and admiration of her many iriends and relations,
in whose recollection her msmory will remain green as
long as the “vital spark remains.” She connected her
self with the M. E. Church in early life, and died with
the implicit belief that she had made a covenant with
her Redeemer; that her death was bnt a transit to the
tseavenly world. Her death bed scene was soul stirring
in the extreme—one that will never grow dim, whilst
memory holds her dominion ; she cahed npon her de
voted husband and weeping children “to meet her in
heaven and alter giving each a dying charge, and an
affectionate farewell, fell asleep in Jesna—the friend
that had sustained in life, that had promised not to for
sake her in the • dark valley and shadow es death,’ and
that would safely lead her spirit, “freed from this mor
tal coil,” to the “ haven of refuge and rest”

as yet come up, and besides the money market is strin
gent. Wheat is quoted at this point at from 90c® sl,

THE WATCH QUESTION,
AMERICAN VB. FOREIGN WATCHES.
A CARD.
tyThc only entirely satisfactory proof of a
good Watch is, that it tel a correctly; and without inter
ruption, the true time of day. All other tests are illu
sory. If the Watch will not perform equally and with
accuracy, it is to no purpose whatever that is elaborate
ly finished, that curious shapes aud patented devices
aiu a<luplcd, Ibtxl uurcl escpcmontß anti Ingenious con
trivances for compensation are introduced, or that the
whole is covered by a famous uame and by a massive
and costly case. Hundreds of worthless Watches are
beautifully finished, and some are exquisitely coutrived
to run badly and wear out quickly. A great deal of
work is most often a great deal of complexity, and all
will admit that no amount of mere polish will advantage
any piece that is radically malformed or inexactly fitted.
It is SIMPLICITY OF CONSTRUCTION, and such
mathematical correctness in the size and shape of every
part as the application of machienery to the purpose
alone insures, that, with sufficient nicety of finish, ac
complishes the desired result.
The founders and managers of the American Watch
Company of Waltham are determined to make TIME
KEEPERS, whether they make money or not. They
do not under value ornament, but they feel that they can
not overvalue Time. This is the meaning of the whole
establishment. Thoroughly familiar, by practical experi
ence, with the evils inherent in foreign watches, evils that
all Watch dealers will bear them out in saying, render
nearly worthless for all purposes of time-keeping a large
majority of foreign Watches —they aim, through the
substitution of mechanical science, for the uncertain
judgment of the eye and imperfect skill of the band, to
produce an article that shall not only look like a Watch,
but perform the duty of a Watch, adorning it with such
a degree of finish as is sufficient, and which, through
oostliness, will not put it above the reach of any class in
t he community. AND THAT THEY HAVE DONE
THIS, AND ARE DOING IT, they confidently appeal
to the thousands whose daily coming and going is regu
lated by Waltham Watches, to say. In everv system,
even the best, there will be imperfection, and instances
of failure doubtless occur in the Waltham manufacture,
but in a system vliich produces Watches which are
IDENTICAL, rather than SIMILAR, the propertionof
such must be reduced to a minimum.
Having achieved this decisive victory—a victory with
a reason for it—the American Watch Company is far
from beiDg disappointed at the frequent and unscrupu
lous opposition it meets from many in the importing
business. This opposition was to have been expected
and the ocaasisn of it will be apparent to any one who
considers the extent of the importers'trade and its high
ly profitable character. The Company has no reason
to be dissatisfied with the amount of patronage it re
ceives, since it is obliged, by the multiplication of orders,
largely to increase its force, and to work by night as
well as by day; but it is not content that any portion of
the community should be misled as to the real merits of
Us Watches. Unfortunately there is no article in com
mon use which people generally so little understand aa
a Watch, and a man’s watchmaker is his only reliance
for judgment. So long, therefore, as imported Watches
yield a rich profit to the importer, the Company ex.
pects a good deal of decrying and disparagement, wise
shaking of the head and faint praise.
The Company is gratified to be able to say, however
that there are hundreds in the trade whose supreme in
terest is not in importation, or in an old stock on
who have no national antipathies to an American
Watch; who, indeed, from patriotic motives, would
rather distribute them, even if they were not twice as
sound and honest, and cheap as any other—with whom
Waltham Watches may be • found. The Company con
fidently maintain that its Watches will abide the con
clusive test of time-keeping, and upon that ground it is
content to rest its claims to the general patronage. The
public Will bear in mind tLiat Uiese Watches are made
for reputaiion, and with the responsibility of perpetual
guaranty constantly in view; for, however they may
change hands, wherever and whenever they are found
faulty, the Company is bound to make them good.
Caution. —As our Watch is now extensively counter
feited by foreign manufacturers, we have to imform the
public that no Watch is of our production which is unac
companied by a certificate of genuineness, bearing the
number of the Watch, and signed by our Treasurer,
R. E. ROBBINS, or by our predecessors, APPLETON,
TRACY Sc CO.
As these Watches are for sale by Jewelers generally
throughout the Union, we do not solicit orders for single
Watches. For the American Watch Company,
ROBBINS Sc APPLETON,
General Agents, 182 Broadway, New York.
The following gentlemen, among many others, attest
the superiority of these Watches as time-keeprs :

Cyrus W. Field, J. H. Wardell,

PRESENTMENTS.
t3T Georgia, Lincoln County.—We, the nn
deraigned Grand Jurors, sworn, chosen aud selected for
the October Term, 1859, of the Superior Court of said
county, at the conclusion of our labors, make the follow
ing General Presentments :
The committee upon the Jail, report it to be in rea
soaably safe condition, aud neatly aud cleanly kept
We recommend that it be supplied with a mattrass cr
two, and a sufficient number of blankets to render
prisoners comfortable.
The Court House, we think, needs many repairs*
such as new lights in the windows, new’ blinds, or re
baaging of tbe old ones, re plastering in many places
aud the like. We earnestly recommend that the
benches designed for the Jurors in the Court Roem, be
removed, and their places filled by wider and more com.
for table ones. There is now not sufficient room upon
the Benches, and the conseqnence is that many of the
Jurymen have to take seats upon the stair steps, in dirt
and spittle, and thereby blockading the passage up tho
stairs. Instead of one bench on a side, there should be
two wider ones. We recommend the Inferior Court to
take such steps as in their judgment are most advisable
to enlarge the bar of the Court, or to give more room iu
it
We find, from an inspection of the Books, Records and
office of the Clerk of the Superior and Inferior Courts
that they are correctly, properly and neatly kept, con
firming our confidence in the efficiency of that long-tried
and faithful officer.
Our examination of the Books, Records and office of
the Ordinary, also satisfies us of the continued faithful
ness and efficiency of that officer, and we cheerfully
bear our testimony to his meritorious discharge of his
duties.
The County Treasurer, we find, has on band a bal
ance of twenty dollars and forty-eight cents. His books
show a diligent and faithful discharge of his duties in
collecting; that he has kept them neatly ; and that his
accounts have been correctly and properly kepi- We
find in his hands appropriate vouchers for all sums paid
out.
The Roads iu the county rre generally in tolerable
order, but we beg tbe attention of the Inferior Court, of
Commissioners and Overseers of Roads, to the very im
perfect and careless manner in which the roads are
usually worked.
We call particular attentiou to the very bad condition
of the Dooly Ferry Road, from C. A. Strother’s to iho
intersection with the Augusta and Washington Road,
near Mr. Barne3; also, to the very bad order of the
Hardin’s Ferry Road, from tho Ferry to the Reed’s
Branch. We anxiously hope the laws upon the subject
of Roads will be strictly enforced.
The Bridges at the crossings in Soap creek bottom on
the Petersburg road, are in exceedingly bad order; also
the Bridge on the Augusta road, near Moss’ Mill, across
Fishing creek, needs immediate attention. We recom.
mend anxiously that these matters be looked into, and
attended to as speedily as possible.
We call the attention of Legislators to the very per
nicious practice of betting upon elections. Our observa
tion shows that this is one of the greatest sources of cor
ruption that exists in our country. Men actually bet
large sums, and then employ portions of the amount to
buy votes with, and in many instances they are doubt,
less successful. Wc earnestly recommend our members
to the next General Assembly, to urge the passage of a
law that will effectually stop such a nefarious practice
We also recommend the passage of a law to pay the
Grand Jurors in our county. #
We recommend the publication of so much of these
cur General Presentments, as arc of a public nature in
the Chronicle & sentinel ana constitutionalist.
