Ex-President Fillmore.
In a letter to the Mayor of Milledgeville dated
Washington,May 2d, Mr. Fillmore says:
gi r ;—Your letter of the 18th tilt., Inviting me
on behalf of the citizens of your place to visit Mil
1 edgeviHe in my tour South, canio duly to hand,
and I beg leave to express to you, and through
you, to them, my grateful acknowledgments for
this matlifestatinn of their respect, and to assure
yon that it would give me great pleasure to v:*it
your place if 1 shall find it practicable to do so;
but 1 am at present unable to determine the route
which I take to reach New Orleans. Permit me,
however,to add, that while I desire to set ma
ny of the people in the several States through
which I pass, ; s possible, I wish to avoid all pub
lic display, for I travel merely as a private citi-
xen for the purpose of seeing the country and
making myself r.cqmunted with its resources.
Texas Legislation.
Our Southern friends seem to be quite aware
of the fact that an end can sometimes bo accom
plished in hioro ways than the direct one, as is il
lustrated by the instance we now publish. In the
Legi^l&lUie of Texas the proposition to which the
following report refers was effectually put at rest
bv the laugh created by this jeu d'espril ; and,
lest any of our readers should, from its extrava
gance, be led to doubt its authenticity, we state
to them that it is extracted from the 427th page of
the Journal of the legislature of Texas of the last
session.—.Yu/. InltlUf'tncer.
MrMcrriman made the following report:
To the Prisiiicnt of the Senate:
The Judiciary Committee, to whom was refer
red the resolution requiring said committee to in-
ligate the expediency of repealing all laws lor
the collection ol debts hereafter contracted in this
State, and to report the result of their investigation
to the Senate, Imve had the same under consider
ation, and find the subject-matter thereof very sub
tie, exceedingly metaphysical, and troublesome of
solution. The brief time given your committee,
at this late period of the session, to investigate
the question amounts to a prohibition of demon
strative conclusive conclusions, unless, as our
chairman beautifully expressed himself, each
member ol the committee could save all his
thuugbts at dinner and dreams at night upon the
subject, and string them upon a stick as a boy
strings catfish, ai d present them in a pile to the
Senate.
Difficult as the task lias been, your committee
have endeavored to divo beneath the submarine
depths and soar above the heaven-kissing heights
ot the vast problem contained in the resolution.—
They have endeavored to extract the iniumeacent
efflorescence of the resolution, and, by Artesian
thought, to strike the fountain of rejuvenescence
embowelled in the primary strata on which the
dubious syllogism is based. If the language of
the resolution had been encumbered by the amend-
:U, the good that would have resulted to the
Elatefrom a law comprehending its provisions
would have been apparent to all. A heavy and
onerous debt, which has attached itself to individ
uals bydivers wavs and means, connected with
the fall of cotton and the rise of putty, would have
been wiped out by an artistic act of a single sec
tion, and the elevated heads of depressed and
down-trodden debtors would have turned to the
cnpitol and blessed the framer of the resolution
that called forth a law to burst their shackles.—
Alas ! lor human good, the amendment cuts
this fruitful source of inquiry, and sends your
committee afloat on a sea of incertitude, with in
tried penis booming up in the distance, without
chart to distinguish the channel from the rocks
and quicksands. iTIte earlier and perhaps the
uly law analogous to the one asked for by the
resolution was enacted by Captain Moses, a sort
of military justice of the peace ami law-maker for
a people called Israelites, who hits borrowed and
otherwise obtained from a people called Egyptians
a Urge amount of jewelry on a credit; and by vir
tue of a law they never did pay for it, as will bo
seen by several cases tried where this law was
given in evidence under the general issue, and
i stained court. Your committee found tins law,
and the decisions under it, in the first volume of
Moses's Reports, printed a few years prior to the
revolution of Texas, and to winch they refer the
Si date for further particulars.
In pressing the inquiry to ascertain tho results
of such a law on the futuic destinies ol Texas,

Swearing In tho Vico President.
• We have been favored with tho following ex
tract from a private letter from Mntanza*, reco iv
eum this city by the Crescent City:
“For tho first time in the history of tho Repub
lic has the man chosen by the people for the se
cond post of honor taken the oath of office in
a foreign land. William Rufus King was, on
tho 4th inst., sworn in as Vice President of the
United States, at the Ctimbre, near Mutanzas.
“The day was a moat beautiful one ; the clear
blue sky of the tropic over our heads, tho emerald
carpet ofCulA beneath our feet, ami the delicious
sea breeze of these latitudes sprinkling its cool-
uess over all oi us. Early in the morning Consul
Koduev, deputed by Judge Sharkey to adminis
ter the oath, left town on .Uersebaoli for the I'uut*
bre, accompanied by several American geutlvnien.
A pleasant ride of three utiles brought us to the
estate where Mr. King was residing, called La
Cumbre, (the peak) from its situation on the cul-
mirn ling point of the lulls that immediately sur
round Matanzas. The view from here is one of
the most beautiful the eye ever looked upon. Far
as the vision could reach in this clear blue ex
panse the beautiful valley of the Yuniuri extend
ed with its winding river, its varying fields of
green and gold, doited here and there with white
sparkling buildings that looked like pearls set up
on emerald, and the brown hills stretching far,
far away in the distance. No more lovely or
tnmejiinpressive spot could have been found in the
whole world for the ceremony, und the solemn
grandeur of the act und ol the scene shed its
sp.ri: over us.
*• 1’ho oalu was delivered by Consul Rodney to
the Vice President, who was ready and vtaiting
our arrival. Tho volatile was brought up to the
door, und Mr. King stepped into it, in order to
ride into Mutanzia before the sun should be too
high to m ko it pleasant. The whole cavalcade,
consisting of some twelve or fifteen American
gentlemen, inimedietdy mounting, and forming
as an escort around me carriage, accompanied li e
Vice President to town. . .
“The Creoles who had gathered on the lawn
round the house, uncovered, and many a hearth It
I 'iye vd con I)nir (God jbe with you) broke fiotn
their lips as they rode away. On tho road to
town the natives, wherever wo met them, silently
uncovered as we approached, and as wo passed
sped alter us the same universal salutation. A
lew Spaniard*, standing in gloomy ire at the doors
of their shops, viewed us in silence, or muttered
a sullen ajo ns the dust from our horses feet llevv
in their faces.
“Mr. King left Matanzas on the same day for
the estate ol Mr. Ch&rtrnin, in the purtido of l.i-
tnotur, about eighteen miles from here.

C. B Colo, for IMuintifTin Error—S T. Bailey, for
Defendant.
Held—That the net of 1817 making the Rail*,
road Companies of this State liable for damages
to live stock und other property, so far as it is not
repealed by the act of 1800, in Constitutional;
v That slaves are included in the words of the
set, lice stock nr other pnjicrty;
That the first section of the act of 1847, which
declares that tho Railn .ids shall he liable in law
for damages done to live stock or other property,
does not make them liable at all events, but makes
them liable according to the rules of law govern
ing like trespasses in other cases;
i hm the act of i860 repeals so much of the act
of 1847, as provides lor an action for the damages
after the award is made, and as makes the award
conclusive as to thedamagea, and as provides fifty
per cent, damages and other extra cost*; and that
the act of i860, in giving the Railroad Companies
the right of appeal, admits them to all the rights
of defence to which by law parties appellants are
emit led on the trial of other appeals ;
That tiie proceedings for the award, as provid-
P(1 by the act of 1847, must he had in that Magis-
t’zte a district nearest the place at which the in
jury is done, on the line of the road, and in the dt-
xcctiofi in which the train is running when the
'••jury is done—that the appointment of an arbitra
|or by a Magistrate, in tlie 4 conlmgency mentioned
tn the Statute, must be by a magistrate of that dis
c'd, and that the arbitrators appointed must be
freeholders of that district, and that these things
inust appear on the record of the proceedings.—
And further, that it must appear from the record
•hit the agent of the Railroad did not give notice

have good reason to know that, spirits or no spirits,

young lawyer of our State, lately a visitor at
Washington. Ho was put in t 'immunication with
of her spirits to answer them without her ».ee-
or hearing them, lie asked when he—the
interrogator—-wasborn ? How old was he?—
Amlwhntwus his profession ?
To the first it answered that he was born in 1842
—i t the second, that lie was 46 years old ; and to
the third, that iie was a butcher by profession.—
On his announcing those ansa ers to the company,
Mrs Fox se med astonished, and insisted tlmt he
had not dealt fairly with tho spirit—Unit the circle
have been disturbed, etc. The company of
course, knew that this inquirer of the spirits was
' 1 1842—that he was not near 45 years
old, and that, being a talented and successful young
lawyer, he, at least, was no butcher, however just
ly some others, ot his profession, may bo cgnsitl-

Officer Warring M uss 'll of this city, assisted by
Mr. Thomas Elkins ol Effingham county, arrested
yesterday, William A. Owmand ol that county,on
charge of negro stealing. The circumstances
of the charge ure, ns v-c learn them as follows. In
July last, a negro fellow named Tom, run away
from his owner, a Mr. Marlin, of South Carolina,
from which time nothing was Ir ani of him until a
short lime since, he was apprehended by a gen
tleman in Effingham county, who bunded him ov
er to Owmand, to bo returned to his owner. Ow-
inand accepted the charge of taking back the ne
gro to South Carolina and delivering him up to
Mr. Marlin; but instead of doing so lie took him
to North Carolina, where he sold him to a Mr.
Win. Morgan, for seven hundred dollars. The
!"»y not having been returned, and Owin'nd upon
his return homo, alleging that ho had uiadu hi* es
cape from him, led t<< the inquiry through which
tho above fact-i were disclosed. Mr. Morg .n. upon
tho circumstances being made known to him,
promptly surrendered his properly to Mr. Martin,
und Owmand awaits his trial in our County jail.
It is stated that no person was ever ‘sun struck, 1

ALL NHOUL1) HEAD THIS TAIJLE
OF SEVEN REASONS WHY
JUDD’S Baking POWDER
Every one should try.
]. In the ordinary method of mixing bread with yeast,
a large amount of lliu bexl portion of the flour is lost by
the decaying process of fermentation. 100 lbs. of dried
flour, yearned and baked, and then dried from moisture,
leaves but 861 Ihu.—131 lb*, i* lost by fermentation,
while 100 lb*, of dried flour ami 6 Ih*. of thi* powder
baked ami dried os above, leaves 1054 lbs. of solid, un-
fermented nourishment. By a peculiar process, this
powder raises by tho atenm produced in hailing.
2. By actual trial which hns been made, nnd which
any one can mnke, 100 lbs. of flour, with yeast, make*
150 lbs. of bread, while with tlie new process 100 lbs.
of flour, makes 180 lbs. of bread. 60 11m. more of bread
are inads with a tmrrel of flour, because there is no
loss from the decaying process of fermentation.
3. 1 lb. of this and 16 Ibx. of flour is ns nourishing as
24 Ibx. of flour yeasled
4. It ia simrinlly adapted to making Biscuits, Com
Cake, Pot Pie, Dumpling*, Berry Puddings, Pis Crust,
and all kind of Cakes, with quo foarth of the buttar and
eggs usually required, oy For Buckwheat Cakes it is
unequnlled. *
5. You can easily mix a large or small quantity, heke
ns soon ns mixed, or nllow it to stand stand at ootwe-
nience— avoid the usual uncertainty of a *' gotxl raise*’
—use a small oven for even-a large family, and have
wnrin biscuits a* often and early ax you desire. Theati
biscuits are as healthy, warm a* cold—produce no sour
ness of the stomach—and the bread being unferreented,
does not soqr in keeping, but at two weeks or more old,
is good for stenming or toasting.
6. Important reason.—Yeast bread must be toasted, to
destroy vegetable acids, before it is fit for weak stom
ach*—Is it then perfectly fitted for even healthy stom
achs!
7. This Powder contains no injurious sulmtanoe, no
alum, no marble dust, and no blue vitriol, but u a sim
ple nourishing compound, put up on dietitir principles,
under tho Inopeetion of Mr. Judd, the inventor, a thor
ough practical Chemist. It is daily used and recom
mended hy some of onr ablest physicians, who an ac
quainted with tlie manufacturer, nnd Ids process of n»-
% Alt K THEN 1—The nrw wsetkod makes mare
breud of the mime amount of flour—healthier bread—
saves yeast—milk—shortening— -fuel— trouble—tim»r.
care-vexation—and uncertainty. Is not that enough?
