The Execution Next Friday, jhe prospect is fair Tor a ‘‘large and cuthtjsias tio” turu-out to witness the hanging which takes place in EJberton next Friday. A g neral outporing of Africa is expected, all the uegrocs in this cCUnty, and large num bers from the adjoining counties in this State and South Carolina, will likely be in attendance. Everything but red-hot stoves will be kept underlock and key from i hurs duy evening till Saturday morning. The gallows is being erected in the rear of the Male Academy, and ws think, from the character of the gentleman who has the matter in charge, every thing will be prop erly arranged. Proper precautions are being taken for the preservation of good order on the day of the execution. The Sheriff will have a large and efficient posse to assist- him iu keeping the crowd at a respectful distance from the scaffold and also to render whatev er assistance may be necessary in the per formance of the unpleasant task devolving upon him. The Town Marshal will appoint a si'fficient corps of assistants to cnab.c him to preserve order throughout the town, and 'from the kiawn character of this officer, we have no fear but that his duty will be well performed. Disagreeable though .the task will be to us, wc will Lc ou hand to witness the exe cution, in order to give a full report of the same, which, though not pleasant reading to the refined, is yet necessary to the history of the age we live in. We were informed a short time since by one of the workmen engaged in building the new Male Academy that when money was plentiful with the building com mittee the weathercock that surmounts the belfry would flap his wings and crow and the work would progress rapidly. We no ticed in passiug on Monday that everything was quiet about the building, that the wings of the bird hung limp, and that he did not flap nor crow worth a cent. Why is this thus ? Why ?—Why not get up a pic-nic for the benefit of the little ones of the town and county ? Such an occasion is one of raie enjoyment for them and affords almost as much pleasure to the older ones. Cannot the Sunday-school teachers take this matter under consideration and make something cut of it ? The humorous editor is down this week with the —well, through courtesy, we will gay mumps, which will spoil many a laugh, as the serious editor has no more humor than a well-behaved cow. •Railroad Meetings.-Wc are request ed to announce that a meeting of those citi zens who favor an 'extension of the Wash ington branch of the Georgia Railroad from its present terminus at Washington, Wilkes county, to Elberton, will be held at Mallo rysville, in YVftkes county, on the first Saturday in May, pn xitno. A meeting of like character is to be-indd, we believe, the first Tuesday iu May; The object of ttesp meetings Id to ascer tain whether the. people wtll lake stock in the proposed extension. Subscriptions of stock will be received both in money and lands, th.e proper valuation of lands sub scribed to be obtained by the appointment of one gentleman by the railroad company, one by the owner, and those two to appoint a third, whoso valuation is (*> he final. Op tion is given the owner of the land, er, to redeem thff bitid bjt the value in money. We hope these meetings will be wpll at tended, and let a fair eflfoyt be made in be half of this enterprise, so that if it fail all bickering arising from that quarter shall cease. nr) t hw* L Baptism,—At the request of the con demned man, West Tate, llev- F.

The prisoner, though more serious as the time of execution draws near, does not seem to have any fear of the gal’ows, llis stoicism is a matter of ! general remark. THE INDIAN WAR. We are on the eve, it seems, of a war for the extermination of the Indians on the Western Plains. Our telegraphic dispatch es confirm the massacre of Gen. Canby and his colaborers in the matter of treating with the Indians upon the principles of the So ciety of Friends. The country is indignant and demands that these savages be swept from existence. The order now for an advance along the whole line. Our Quaker friends, with their peace principles ot Jus tice, must take position in the rear. The tierce spirit of the Anglo-Saxou will soon crush out the remaining Aborigines who impede the westward march of civilization and modern development. Nothing is clear er or surer than that the Caucasian will nev er brook a rival rebellious race on this con tinent, no matter what their natural rights may be. The tale of the last of the Mohi cans has been written. Very soon will the last of the Modocs become the subject for the pen of the novelist and poet, and chal lenge only the interest of archselogical re search to illustrate the history of the man ct the Stone Ago. But, this is not the only mission of the American, nor will “manifest destiny” be satisfied until the “whole bound less continent is ours.” In another gener ation pjr two tlieflotd of Causasian. emigrants from the East; flowing like An' irresistible tide, will coyer every habitable spot, to the* exclusion of every other race and kindred and tongue", North and South, and East and West.—[Chronicle cl Sentinel. The Man Whom Grant Pardoned Out of the Albany Penitentiary.— l witnessed a singular spectacle on Pennsyl vania avenue the other day —that of a gen tleman gayly dressed and driving a fast, team, and evidently iu excc’lcnt spirits. Yet this gentleman is just out of the Albany penitentiary, and he, only a short time ago, stole hundreds ol thousands of dollars from the Treasury. It was Major Hodges, the thief who, by tbe interference of the Presi dent, was not punished fer taking a vast amount of the people’s money. He is warmly welcomed by many of his old friends, which shows the American people do not care much for theft in itself, so that it is dohe in a respectable and gigantic fashion. There can be no question as to ihe facts in this case. Major Hodges ribbed, tbe treasury of tens of thousands of dollars,'and h£ is not punished, simply because his social standing was high. If he had stolen a watch or a diamond pin he would still be in the penitentiary, but to steal a hundred thousand dollars is a safe and respectable crime, and that is the lessou his life teaches to the boys of America. — [Washington Let ter to- tho Springfield Republican, The Death of Gen. Edward R. Can by.—The story which the telegraph tells of the murder of Gen. Canby and others by Capt. Jack and his Modocs, is terrible in its curtness. Gen. Edward 11. Canby is well known in this part of the country as one of the many subservient tools scattered over the South after the war by the Radicals. To him was entrusted the task of crushing the innocent people of South Carolina, and ele vating their former slaves above them. It is but simple justice to say that he perform ed his part with enthusiastic thoroughness. Wherever the negro was to be put in a po sition to insult the white people, there was Canby with his bayonets. Wherever a Carolinian was to be oppressed —wherever tyranny was the shortest method of solving any question —legal, political or civil—there was Canby and his troops. And now he is dead —shot to death on the far plains of the West. Wc will not presume to interpret the manifestations of Providence, but who among us allßpan say whether Capt. Jack, in shooting Canby, avenged his own or South Carolina’s wrongs. -[Savannah News. A despatch gives the following from Grant Parish : The negroes have barricaded them selves in Colfax court house, numbered 400, thoroughly armed. One hundred and fifty then gathered from the surrounding 8 parts es atid made an attack at Sunday noon ap on the court bouse, which was stormed at three o’clock.

When this stile was broken i open in the presence of Mr. Clark, the ar ‘ chitect, it was found to contain a gold doub- j j loon, three guineas and srme crown pieces, ’ j bearing date 1740 to 1761'.

Whenever we speak of the Pain Killer, as in the present instance, we do so in behalf of the afflicted, rather than with the view of advancing the interests of- the pro prietors. For various diseases, such as rheu matism. cholera, cholera-morbus, burns, sprains’ bruises, and so on to the end of the catalogue’ \vt are convinced that there is do remedy before the people equal to Davis’ Vegetable “Pain Kill er,” and we know that thousands upon thous ands entertain the same belief. Certainly we cannot refer to the history of any medicine which equals that of the Pain Kille-. It was in troduced in 18-10, and from that time to this its sale, both at home and abroad, has constantly and rapidly increased,and we rejoice at the high reputation it has achieved, because this reputa tion shows that it has been the means of relieving a vast amount of human suffering We hope the present proprietors of Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer will live to enjoy the prosperity they have so fairly won.—apl6-6t THE MARKETS.
