No Small Fox in LaQrange.
The Atlanta Kxaminer of Sunday contra
diets the report that there is small pox at La
(lrange, (la. It states that the physicians of
LaGrange, after a consultation with Dr. Bos.
well of this city, have pronounced thetwo cases
reported us small pox to bejmeasles. The Fx
nminer also contradicts a rumor which had
been circulated that the small pox had broken
out in Atlanta, and says that there, too, a cou
ple of cases of measles, imported from Chatta
nooga, had been mistaken for small pox.
emigrants to Kansas.
On Wednesday last fifteen South Carolinians
started from Hranchvillc for Kansas ; and on
Thursday the Kansas Association of Charles
ton forwarded its second company, twenty
eight in number. Wo learn that about the
same number left Coweta county, fin., last
week; and the papers report that Win. Wright,
Esq., a prominent lawyer of Nownan, left that
place on Wednesday with a small company for
Kansas.
Hear in miud that the emigrants from this
section are to rendezvous here to-inorrow, and
meet Muj. lluford at this place. Wc have
.strong hopes that he will have a numerous and
jolly company—one that will “ make its mark'’
in tlie infant history of the Territory.
The Chattanooga Gazette says that the med
ical faculty have generally agreed, “after a
good deal of palavering,” that the small pox,
or varioloid, does exist at present in that city.
Twelve cases had been reported.
.Senator Seward, in a speecli made at a
black Republican Congressional caucus at
Washington, last week, intimated that unless
the present Congress admitted Kansas as a

adopted by the Freesoilers, the majority in the
House of Representatives would refuse to pass
any of the appropriation bills, and g'o before

At a meeting of tho “Young Friends of Ire
land.” held at the Apollo Rooms, Broadway,
New York, on the 27th inst., the correspond
ing Secretary, Mr. John Dougherty, road let
ters from Gov. Wise, lion. Jos. R. Chandler,
and others, which were received with great
enthusiasm. He then resumed liis seat at the
•ide of the chairman, and while a gentleman
was responding to one of the toasts offered,
Mr. Dougherty was observed to sink back in
his chair, as if overcome by some terrible sick
ness. In the midst of great confusion, the
sufferer was borne to an adjoining room, but
in a few minutes it was announced that he was
dead, and the meeting at once broke up in ter
ror and confusion. The sudden attack is sup
posed to have been either apoplexy or a dis
ease of the heart. Mr. Dougherty was only
2:1 years of age, and was much respected.
Rome, Ga.
We find in the Rome Commercial Advertiser
(a very neat and well conducted paper, by the
way, which has recently been established, and
eems already to be thriving und going ahead)
several paragraphs chronicling improvements,
progress and active business in that interest
ing portion of our State. The Advertiser rep
resents business in Rome to be unusually brisk
and extensive this season, and says that tho
Rome Railroad (from that place to Kingston,
where it connects with the State Road) has
been running for several weeks past four trains
daily. The first steam locomotive ever built
in Georgia will shortly be turned out by Messrs.
Noble .N Sons, of Rome; and the Adverti
ser notices that negotiations are in progress
for putting up a large establishment for the
manufacture and repair of Thrashers, Corn
Shcllers, Straw Cutters, and all other descrip
tions of agricultural implements: also, that
Mr. L. W. Wragg is erecting a steam saw-mill
with an engino of 20 horse power, near Rome.
Truly, tho “Emporium of Cherokee Georgia”
is doing much to develop the great natural re
sources of that thriving section of our State.
Enjoying the superior commercial facilities
which Rome possesses, and animated by the
spirit of enterprise which these improvements
attest, it must soon become one of the first in
land towns of the State and a place of exten
sive trade and great prosperity.
Keep out “wild cats,’” neighbor Advertiser;
cure all diseased and grasping monopolies by
he wholesome remedy of competition ; show
up all humbugs, and as far as possible “pad
dle your own canoeand your thriving city

The latest dispatch from Milwaukee states
Unit the House of Representatives had recog
nized Bashlord us Governor, by a vote of 28
to It, and that Mr. Arthur, the acting Governor,
had consented to give way to him. We pre
sume that this settles the question,
lion. John McKeon, United States District
Attorney for New York, has, in accordance
with instructions from the Attorney General,
abandoned Ihe prosecutions against flic per
sons indicted for a violation of our neutrality
laws. A conviction of one of the parlies hav
ing been obtained, and the complicity of ISiit
ish officials having been proved, Mr. Cushing
authorized him to discontinue all suits against
any blit officers of flic British Government, as
the crime of those who were persuaded to en
list was hut a secondary one, and hut “a minor
incident of the national indignity and wrong
inflicted on this Government by the foreign
Government in whose hcliall and lor whose
benefit they presume to violate the laws ot the
United States.’’ As to the officials implicated,
Mr. (!. advised tho District Attorney that oth
er instructions would soon be forwarded.
The .<•<///i/i-cring Frecsoil Legislature ol
Kansas, before its hasty dispersion, resolved
“ that the laws enacted by the present Legis
lature shall not have effect until an act be pass
ed by the present or some future Legislature
declaring them in force.” This, we suppose,
is the expedient resorted to to prevent tliccon
victiou of tlie members for treason, as the reso
lution will lie quoted to show that the Legisla
ture did not, by any of its “acts,” come in
conflict with the laws of the Territory. Tlicir
treason was only prospective and contingent,
and therefore they are not amenable to a pro
secution until they set up their acts in direct
and immediate opposition to the laws ami
rightful authorities! Wc presume, however,
that they have gone quite far enough to sus
tain the charge, and that tlicir revolutionary
conclave will not be allowed to JizaleotU in this
way—provided the dilatory authorities of the
United States succeed in catching any of them.
The proposition to subscribessoo,ooo to the
capital stock of the Savannah Valley Railroad
was submitted to a vote of the citizens of Au
gusta on Saturday. The vote stood, yeas 412’,
nays i>77—showing a small majority in favor
of the investment. Some of the opponents of
the measure, however, •contend that the sub
scription has not been legally ratified, ns they
maintain that the act authorizing it required
that it should be sustained by “a majority of
the legal voters of the city,” and not merely
a majority of the votescast. The registry list,
closed last week, shows that there are 1090
persons entitled to vote, of whom 540 are re
quired to constitute a majority. The Consti
tutionalist ingeniously combats this position,
hut our readers are not sufficiently interested
in the question to induce us to notice the argu
ments on either side.
Capture of an American Slaver.
Boston, March 27.
By the Emeu wc have Rio Janeiro dates to
the 11th of February,
The American schooner Maria E. Smith had
been captured by the Brazilian brig of war
Olinda while attempting to land ”20 negroes
which she had brought from the coast of Afri
ca. The Olinda took the schooner into Bahia,
where the commander and crew—all Ameri
cans—were ironed and locked up in the jail.
When the schooner left the coast of Africa she
had on hoard 500 blacks, but they were so
closely packed on board, totally naked, and so
badly fed during the voyage, that 180 died and
were thrown overboard, and of those landed at
Bahia 04 died a few hours afterward.
The Maria E. Smith (or Mary Smith) was
formerly a packet running between Boston and
Halifax. She left Boston for the coast of Af
rica some time last Autumn. Utcmpts were
made to detain her on suspicion of her being a
slaver, but she ran away from the revenue
cutter after she had been seized by the F. S.
Marshal.

“The State of Walker.”
The Tuscaloosa Monitor, referring to tlie
act of the sheriff of \\ alker county, Ala., hang
ing a limn in defiance of a respite granted by
the Governor (which we noticed yesterday
morning), says :
“ Me are unable to say whether or not tlie
Sheriff ol Walker can sustain the legality of
this proceeding : to us it appears very much
like ail unjustifiable homicide, and we would
not like to be exactly in liis place. But they
sometimes do strange things in the “State of
Walker.” Many of our readers may have
heard, and suppose it to be merely a joke at
the expense of that enlightened county, that a
man was one • convicted and sentenced to be
hung ‘there, for burning down an old barn,
which he himself had built, and which was un
tenanted by any living thing ; in fact it was
his own property, and the burning of it injur
ed no ono in tho world, if not himself. But
there is no joking about it. The thing actual
ly occurred, the man did burn the barn and
was sentenced to be hung for it. Luckily for
him, however, there was a Supreme Court in
the State, which had tho power to reverse the
decrees of the Court of Walker ; luckily again,
too, that the present Sheriff was not then office,
or lie might have swung, l'or tlie Sheriff who
would disregard the commands of the Govern
or, would not have been inclined to obey those
of a Supreme Court.
This ease of the bum-burning, is contained
in the law reports of the State.
