The Weather.
We took “time by the forelock” in ouredi- I
tori a I written on Friday evening, announcing j
the pleasant and genial beginning of March.— .
The latter portion of February, almost down
to llie hour of its exit, was balmy and agreea
ble indeed : hut when the month of the “war
god was ushered in tin* scene changed, and ,
his dawning hour brought upon us n rain that
■.• caned not to full fast and thick throughout i
Friday night ami a great portion of hat utility. |
it was, we think, the heaviest fall of vain we
have find for a year during the same length of !
time. Our river rose very fast on Saturday,
and yesterday had reached a mark higher than
any attained during the winter. Sunday morn
ing wus ijuite cool, and for a moment there
was a mixture of sleet with the fine rain that
fell at intervals.
The next time we herald a glorious day in
advance, we will first consult the almanac—or
the moon—nud not trust to the deceitful prom
ises of the previous evening.

Georgia Legislature.
This body doubtless adjourned on Saturday,
though we have not yet been definitely so in
formed. On Friday the Senate passed the
following bills : To incorporate the Exchange
Hank of the State of (i corgi a, at Griffin; to
allow subpoenas to be issued from Justices
Courts in ten insteadof thirty days ; to change
the days of the elections of county officers in
October and January from the first Mondays
to the first Wednesdays : to incorporate the
Hank of the Empire State at Rome, both
Houses were working hard, on Friday, to be
able to adjourn nine die on Saturday.
Rev. Daniel Waldo, the new Chaplain ol the
House of Representatives, is an old revolu
tionary soldier, a resident of Onondaga county,
New York ; he is fit years of age, and is both
blind and deaf. He was not a candidate for
the office, was not in Washington, and is not
expected to be. The Organ “presumes” that
the resident clergymen of Washington will al
ternately’perfonn the duties of Chaplain. The
election of this old gentleman is a just rebuke
to the mercenary ministers who are candidates
for the station before each Congress, and who
are said to rival the “worldly” scramblers for
the other favors of the Government in their
electioneering course. Perhaps, too, this elee
tion indicates a disposition on the part of the
House to dispense with the services of Chap
lain altogether.

Wade, the notorious Freesoil Senator from
i Uiio, lms been re-elected by the Legislature
for six years from the 4tli of March 1857.
The Boston correspondent of the New York
Tribune, says : “ Our legislative proceedings
are not. of a very remarkable character. Some
amendments of the constitution have passed
tin* Senate. One requires that voters shall
know how to read and write; another provides
for a residence of twenty-one years before a
foreigner shall become a citizen : n third abol
ishes imprisonment for debt. Their fate in
the House is uncertain.”
The Cincinnati Slave Case.
On the ‘2tltii ult.. the United States Commis
sioner at Cincinnati, h iving concluded the ex
amination of the ease of the fugitive slaves
from Kentucky, ordered them to he brought
before him that lie might announce his decis
ion on the question of remanding them to
slavery. Hut the sheriff of the county, who
had the custody of the adults, refused to de
liver them up, claiming to hold them to answer
a charge of murder. The Commissioner then
adjourned his Court until the 25th ult. The
children were in the custody of the United
States Marshal but a writ of habeas corpus
lind been issued by the State Court to obtain
possession of them. We arc informed by tele
graph, that on the litith tilt, the Commissioner
pronounced liis decision in favor of the master
of the slaves, but that the sheriff still held
them under the indictment for murder.
As we have before remarked, the claim to
hold all the slaves on a charge of murder is
only a sham to prevent their return to Ken
tucky. Only the mother of the murdered
child is suspected of killing it, and abolition
fanaticism will be more apt to laud her for the
unnatural act than to bang her for its perpe
tration. The pretence that the other slaves
were accessories is designed to retain them iu
Cincinnati and to bail them out or release them
whenever the obstacles to their flight can In*
removed.
More about Walker and Kinney.
The important news from Nicaragua, which
we published yesterday, was brought to Kev
West by the steamship IS tar of the West, from
San Juan (Grey Town), which touched at Key
West on the 234 ult,, on her way to New Yolk.
The Key West correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, writing on the sjsth, gives the follow
ing account of Kinney’s interview with Wal
ker :
“The decree accuses Kinney of conspiring
against the integrity of the Republic, and the
question arose what should be done with him
—should lm be banished or taken and shot ?
At this juncture Kinney arrived at Grenada on
a mission to Gen. Walker, and opened negotia
tions with him for the peaceable division of the
country, creating two States, one of which
should be called Mosquito, to which Col, Wal
ker replied that if Nicaragua wished to divide
her territory she would do so without advising
with any one, and last of all with Mr. Kinney.
“At this Kinney, somewhat demurred, hut
not discouraged, offered his services to the Re
public, expressing corifidencedn bis financial
ability, ami suggesting that they would be of
great service to the country in the procure
ment of money, the negotiations of loans, and
so forth. Col. Walker ended the interview by
informing Col. Kinney that his antecedents
precluded the possibility of the State placing
him in any official position—and closed bj
cautioning him to be particular in his speech,
or he might he guilty of uttering treasonable
language. Orders were soon after issued to
the officer of the day, that Mr. Kinney Could
not be allowed to leave the limits of the city—
he wrh a prisoner of the State.
Col. Louis Schlessinger has been appointed
Commissioner to the Republic of Costa Rica,
and had sailed for San Jose, the capital. The
purpose is a peaceful one, and is made to
bring about a more favorable condition of
affairs between the two States.

ed Col. Kinney to leave the State, mid he left
Grenada the liith for New Orleans.

Tho China Tree.
A writer in the Soil of the South recom
mends planting the China tree along our rail
roads, to be used for ties. He says that he has
no doubt that ties nine inches in diameter made
of the China tree would last for a century.—
And for marine purposes, the wood is invalu
able ; neither worms nor barnacles will inter
fere with it. In illustration of this fact, we
remember, some years ago, a gentleman living
ou the Pee Dee had a box made of the China
tree filled with rice, which remained for years
free from weevil or any other worm, and just
as sound as when first putin the box, no doubt
preserved from the attacks of insects bv some
peculiar property in the wood.— Columbia

mortgage is now about due, mid the holders on
proposing to foreclose it. were met with the
defence that, if the maker of it was insane
when the murder was committed, could he

The news by the steamer Atlantic lias not
startled the Federal Administration, but only
created an itching anxiety to receive their offi
cial dispatches, and rendered the failure of the
Northern mail, now become so very common,
most provokingly annoying. The Atlantic
reached her wharf at New York on Sunday
morning at ‘A o’clock, and her mails should
have been here and distributed by the same
hour yesterday morning. They reached here
only late last evening, and are to-day being
overhauled in the State Department. The
outside news is quite warlike, but I find Mr.
Marcy and his able assistant, Gen. Thomas, as
placid as a May morning. They only say,
“ Let John Bull swagger and bluster—our
policy is to be calm, dignified and positive.—
We have England in the wrong, and we will
keep her there.'’’ These lew words w ill furn
ish a key to the foreign policy of our govern
ment towards the mother country, and for
the present Mr. Dallas will delay his departure
lor London. Should it turn out that Air.
Buchanan has really demanded his passports,
and is backed inthis course by his government,
Mr. Dallas’s departure will be indefinitely post
poned.
It is gratifying to every American citizen,
as it must be to every lover of justice and free
institutions, to observe (lie striking contrast
between the diplomacy of the two countries—
ours marked by firmness, and directed by a
straightforward determination to “ demand
nothing but what was right and submit to
nothing that was wrong theirs but an illus
tration of the miserable quibbling and false
reasoning to which a corrupt power can resort
to effect base purposes and accomplish selfish
ends.
The Governor General of Canada, in his re
port to the Canadian Parliament, a few days
ago, stated that lie was busily engaged in or
ganizing the militia of tlic Province. Why is
there an organization of the Provincial militia
just at this crisis ? The question answers it
self, in view of our present relations with
Great Britain. Let them organize! These
same militiamen will be troublesome custom
ers to the English crown when, by turning their
arms against royalty, they can secure the in
dependence of Canada.
The Importation of Slaves into Georgia.
Alluding to the recent action of our State
Legislature in reference to the introduction of
slaves into the State for sale, the New Orleans
Bulletin observes that the two last census re
turns present some very striking facts on the
subject:
“ In Delaware iu twenty years the popula
tion lias diminished over 88 percent. In Ma
ryland, over HI per cent., while in Virginia it
had decreased, from 1830 to 1840, nearly 5
per cent., and from 1840 to 1850 had increas
ed about the same ratio, so that for the space
of twenty years the slave population in Vir
ginia has been about at a stand still. Let us
sec what has been tlic progress of the institu
tion in other Southern States who have re
ceived supplies mainly from the Mother of
States. In South Carolina, for the same pe
riod of twenty years, tho increase in slaves
has been 25 percent. In Georgia it has been
75 per eent.; in Mississippi 20(1 per cent., and
in L-uisiana 180 per cent. In Kentucky, an
other border State, the increase of slaves for
the last decade was 27 per cent.”
The Bulletin argues from this statement,
slavery is destined to recede from its Northern
limits and travel Southward, and that it is the
duty of the South to cheek that tendency in
stead of hastening its consummation.
New Counties.—Politically.
The Milledgeville correspondent of the Ma
con Messenger, says:
The following new counties have been made:
Revvien, from Lowndes, Irwin and Coffee : this
will be a county of very pretty size, and the
“ Main Trunk” of the Atlantic and Gulf Rail
lload passes through it. Gen. Knight, one of
the most useful members of the Senate, will be
included in this county, and her citizens will
do well to return him again to the Senate. 1
learn that, politically, tho county will be very
close. Tho eouuty of Colquitt, from Thomas
and Lowndes ; this also, will be a pretty sized
county, and the projected Rail Road will pass
through it; political parties will be on a bal
ance in this county, leaving Lowndes close,
and Thomas largely Democratic. The county
of Haralson, formed from Carroll and Folk;
this county will be Democratic. The county
of Miller, from Raker and Early : this will be
a rich county, and Democratic by a considera
ble majority. The county of Terrell, from
Randolph and Leo : this will also boa rich
and populous county, and supposed to be close,
politically.

The Missing Steamer.
The New York papers are full of specula
tions concerning the fate of the Pacific, which
left Liverpool the 23d of January with 51 pas
sengers and a valuable cargo, and lias notsiuec
been heard from. They think, generally, that
it is yet too soon to indulge in very gloomy
apprehensions on her account. The case of
the Atlantic is cited, which left Liverpool, De
cember 28th, 1851, and alter having a splen
did run, on the oth day out, latitude 46° I*2’
north, and longitude 41° 30’ west, 897 miles
from Halifax and 1,400 miles from Now York,
became disabled in her machinery and put
back to Cork under sail, where she arrived
January 22, being 20 days out. Intelligence
of her safety did not reach here until the 10th
February, just 51 days after her departure.
The New York Tribune applies tiie facts to
the case of the Pacific, and adds: “The period
of departure and the weather prevailing are
almost precisely aiialagous. Let us suppose
her then having left Liverpool on the 23d, to
have made a run similar to the Atlantic in 51
days, and to have been disabled in the same
position, and to have been obliged to put back
under canvas to Cork, and to have reached
that port in 23 days. This estimate would
find her there on the 1 Stli of February, that
is 9 days subsequent to our last dates by the
Asia, in this calculation we have wholly ex
cluded the fair probability of her being disa
bled at a greater distance from Europe than
the Atlantic, and requiring consequently a
longer period to put back.

Amusing Duels.
A work on “Duels and Duelling” has re
cently been published in Boston, which con
tains far more amusement than one would ex
pect to find in such a volume. The ease of
Alajors llillars and Fenton in Ireland, in which
the former gentleman was shot, is an illustra
tion. The Judge in summing up the evidence,
said to the jury : “ Gentlemen, it is my duty
to lay down the law to you, and J will. The
law says the killing a man in a duel is mur
der, therefore in the discharge of my duty 1
tell you so,; but 1 tell you at the same time
a fairer duel than this 1 never heard of in the
whole course of my life 1”
Two physicians, by the name of Mead and
Woodward, fought in England, and the latter
slipping, his opponent exclaimed, “Take your
life.” To which the prostrate Galen replied
“ Anything but your physio.”
“ Old Put,” one of the heroes of our revolu
tion, was very odd also in the ideas of the code,
lie agreed to meet a. British officer, at a spe
cified place and hour, without seconds. When
the Briton repaired to the spot he was greeted
by a shot from “Old Put” lying in perdue
about thirty rods off. While “Put” was re
loading, the officer approached and asked,
“ What are you about to do ! Is this the con
duct of an American officer and man of honor?’
“What am I about to do?” replied the gener
al. “A pretty question to put to a mail you
intend to murder ! 1 am about tu kill you, and
if you don’t beat a retreat in less time than it
takes old Heath to bang atory, you are a gone
dog.” Tire officer tied.
The old wolf hunter accepted another chal
lenge from a British officer. At the appointed
time and spot the officer found him seated near
a barrel—apparently gunpowder —smoking a
pipe. He asked the Englishman to sit ou the
other side of the barrel, and remarking that
“there was an equal chance for both!” set
fire to the match. The officer retreated in a
hurry, when Old Put laughed at liim ; saying,
“ You arc just as brave a man as I took you
to be ; this is nothing but a barrel of onions
to try you by ; but you don’t like the smell.”
Beef Hams.
The finest beefhams are made by cutting
out the entire bone of the liindquartcr, then
rubbing in Hie salt and sugar, the same as
described for pork hams, turning them over
and rubbing them every day for a week. Af
ter this they are hung up to drip in a cool dry
place for three days. They are now taken
down and rubbed all over, on a table or bench,
with some fine salt, black pepper and cloves,
all ground together. About one ounce eacli
of salt and pepper and half an ounce of cloves
are sufficient for thirty pounds of meat, but
the exact quantity cannot be given. No per
son can go wrong if he rubs every part of the
whole surface of the ham with some of this
salt and pepper composition. The ham is now
tit to be rolled. This is accomplished by roll
ing into a cylindrical form, swilling it round
from the narrow to the thickest end, and hang
ing it up to dry for about ten days before it is
used. It is cut in round slices for frying by
commencing at the butt end. A stout corclis
used to swill, or tie such hams, and it must be
looped or turned under on both sides along the
coils of the cord, so as to have every coil firm
ly bound and held iu place when the ham is
being cut in slices for daily use. Hams made
in this manner are the finest in the world—a
luxury.
Smoked beef is to he found in abundance in
our markets, but it is a poor eatable of the
meat kind in.comparison with beef prepared
as described. We hope some of our farmers
will make some such beef hams this fall for
family use. They will not keep in summer
weather so well as smoked beef —so it is said
—but of this we are not certain. —Scientific

Field Marshal Prince Paskiewitch.
This distinguished Russian, whose death oc
curred on tlic Ist ult., was born in 1782, of a
noble family. He first saw active service in
180"), when the Emperor Alexander sent troops
to aid Austria agaiust the French. From 18(l(i
to 1812 lie was engaged in the campaign
against Turkey. When France declared war
against Russia,General l’askiewitch command
ed a division of infantry, and he was present
at the battles of Daclikofta, Soultanofka, Smo
lensk and Moskowa. He also took part in the
battles of Dresden and Leipsio. War having
broke out in 1826 in Persia, General Paskie
witch advanced at the head of a small army,
and utterly routed the troops of the Shall of
Persia. Soon after the close of this war iu
1828, the war against Turkey was renewed,
when General Paskiewitch again took the field,
and forced Kars to capitulate, and soon after
entered Krzeroum in triumph. For his gal
lantry in this campaign the Emperor Nicholas
named him Field Marshal of his armies. When
the formidable insurrection in Poland burst
forth in 1881, Marshal Paskiewitch took tho
command of the Russian army, and captured
Warsaw, ami completed the subjection of tho
heroic Poles. Asa reward for his valor, the
Czar raised him to the dignity of Prince of
Warsaw, and Viceroy of Poland, which post
he held till his death. Twice after his Polish
victory did Paskiewitch appear in arms: in
1819, when Russia sent troops against the
Hungarians, and iu 1853 at the siege of Silis
tria. where he received a contusion which
compelled him to retire. —Augusta Chroiwb.
