The Crops.
We returned yesterday morning, from a
trip to Atlanta, in which we passed over the
country through Troup, Merriwethor, (Jowetu,
Campbell and Fayette counties in day light.
We were astonished to find the crops so back
ward. The cotton appears not to have been up
over two or three weeks, and is very unprom
ising. Corn, also, is small, and stand bad.—
In comparison with last year, both cotton and
corn is much inferior.

Wo have been misinformed in regard to the
physique and age of Senator Sumner. He is
in the prime of life, and one of the most robust
nnd athletic men in the Senate. It therefore
seems that it was a want of pluck rather than
strength that prevented him from resisting,
the Gutta Percha cane of Mr. Brooks.

Gentlemen —Your note of the 11th is receiv

Tho Fatal Duel Near New Orleans.
The New Orleans Delta of the 22d instant,
gives the following particulars of the fatal
Duel at Pass Christian:
At half-past seven o’clock yesterday morn
ing the princippals, R. W. Estlin, Esq., of tho
firm ot Estlin, Lee & Cos., of Canal street, and
M. Cuddy, Esq., a member of the firm of Cud
dy, Brown & Cos., of Camp street, came on the
ground accompanied by their friends. The
distance, ten paces, being measured, and the
pistols handed to them, the gentlemen took
their places. At the first fire Mr. Estlin, it is
rumored, was (.lightly wounded in tho right
arm, Mr. Cuddy heidg uninjured. However,
the second tire of .Mr. Estlin, we are sorry to
say, was the messenger of death to his antag
onist. He never breathed alter receiving tho
ball, which entered the groin on the right side,
passing through the artery, across the abdo
men, and through tho opposite artery, and
lodging in his left hand. The cause of this
unfortunate affair was, in relation to matters
of business, or rather the motive, we under
stand, for the insult which it is stated was of
fered by Mr. Estlin, to Mr. Cuddy, w T as on ac
count of business ; a challenge from the lat
ter followed, which, sad to say, resulted in his
untimely death, and the wounding of his an
tagnost.

ing if such authority was revoked by the
amendment to the charter of the city of the

Brooks and Humner.
The Washington correspondent of the Mont
gomery Adveetiser, writes:
“ Ever since the delivery of the spoech, Mr.
Brooks has sought every opportunity to see
Mr. Sumner, but was unable to do so until to
day, being determined to chastise him for the
gross and unjustifiable assault made on the
people of South Carolina, but more especially
upon Judge Butler, his near relative, who is
an aged man, and who is absent from the city.
About half past one to-day, he went into the
Senate Chamber, after the adjournment, and
waited nearly an hour, (Sumner was engaged
in franking his infamous speech,) until the
ladies bad left the gallery and the floor; some
had come into the Chamber after the Senate
had adjourned. Wlten they left, Mr. Brooks
approached Mr. S., and said to him : “ Mr.
Humner, I have read your speech with great
care and as much impartiality as I ant capable
of, and I have come to tell you that you have
published a libel against my State, and utter
ed a slander against a kinsman who is aged
and absent, and I feel it my duty to punish
you for it.” Suuiner made no reply. Mr. 15.
had a stickinhishand, and immediately struck
Mr. Sumner, and repeated his blows in rapid
succession. S. attempted to close in on him,
but 11. dealt his blows so rapidly that he could
not. Finally, he fell, exclaiming, “Oh, Lord!
oh, Lord!” Mr. B. offered no further violence
after Mr. Sumner fell. The difficulty occurred
in the Seriate Chamber about the spot where
he uttered his slanders.”
Rebellion in France.
Twelve working men were recently arrested
in France, charged with an attempt to get up
a revolution. One of their proclamations was
produced in Court. It declared a revolution
to be imminent, accused the government of
tyranny, and of having got up the difficulty of
a famine; denounced stock jobbers and mono
polists ; spoko in laudation of Robespierre,
Marat and Uanton, called the Emperor “infa
mous,” and said that there should be no par
don for him; and exorted the people and the
army to revolt, because the “dishonor of
daughters, and the murder of sons cried aloud
for blood !” The chiefs of the band were men
named (dement and Doliget. The former, in
his interrogatory, expressed admiration of all
the sentiments set forth in the proclamation ;
and the latter, amongst other things, said he
believed religion to be an invention of priests,
property a spoliation of the people, and that
in politics there was no sucli thing as justice,
but only the law of the strongest; and he
added, that if his party triumphed, it would
act on these principles. Another of the priso
ners, a young man only nineteen years of age,
named Fournier, said he considered Clement
his “father in morality,” because “he had
made his political education from beginning
to end.” You are a shoemaker by trade,” said
the President, and, instead of meddling witli
politics, you had better have stuck to your
last !” “In making shoes,” said the prisoner,
witli a grand gesture, “1 should only be work
ing for myself, and I feel called on to labor for
society. ” Several were convicted and sentenc
ed to imprisonment.
Chinese in California.
It is stated that the majority of the Chinese
now in California are held in bondage by man
darins residing in China ; and are sent out
under charge of agents to work in the mining
districts ; these serfs are bound by the Budd
hist oath to deliver to their overseer all the
fruits ol’ their labor, lie only providing them
with the actual necessaries of life during their
terms of servitude. According to the terms of
this bondage they receive a miserable pittance
from the mandarin who engages them, for
each day’s labor, this to be paid on their re
turn, aud so strict are they in the compliance
of their stipulations, in case of the decease of
any of tlicir people, that their bodies are re
turned and their relatives paid the stipend due
them for each day up to the time of the arri
val of their remains. In some cases these
peoplo have released themselves from bondage
by being made cognizant of the laws of the
Stnte, and attempts have been made by the
mandarin to arrest them legally, but without
success.
The Havana News.
The Havana correspondent of theNew r York

May 18, says:
It is intimated that several Spanish vessels
of war will leave this week for Vera Cruz, to
enforce the payment or recognition of certain
claims by this Government against Mexico,
created at the last restoration of Santa Anna
to power. Health of Havana good. We have

As we got press, information is brought us
that a man by the name of Hand went to the
field where Lewis Allen was at work, in Henry
county, on Wednesday evening last, and shot
him, killing him on the spot. We have not

consuls implicated in the violation of the Ame
rican neutrality laws will be dismissed to
morrow, (Monday). The President will an
nounce the fact in a special message to Con

It was reported in this city that Mr. Brooks
of South Carolina, had challenged General
Watson Webb, on account of an article in the
New York Courier and Enquirer, in relation
to his punishment of Sumner ; but subsequent
ly the report was contradicted, and it appear
ed that only a correspondence had taken place
respecting the authorship of the article, which
General Webb had stated was not his, but that
his views on the subject would appear in the
morning over his own signature.
Bunmer Sympathy Meetings.
New Yoiik, May 24.—The Republican Coun
ty Committee last night passed strong resolves,
calling upon the House to expel his assail
ants, and also upon the courts of Washington
to punish them ; otherwise, they declare that
the seat of Government must be removed.
Boston, May 24.—A meeting of the citizens
was held last evening to express the popular
sentiment regarding the assault upon Sunnier ;
aud, though called at a late hour to-day, was
very large, Chapman Hall was found too small
and the meeting adjourned to Tremont Tem
pe. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr.
Beecher; Deacon Samuel Greeley, presiding.
General indignation was expressed of the as
sault.
Speeches were made by the Rev. W. Free
man Clark, Wendell Philips, Judge Russell,
Theodore Parker, J. M. S. Williams of Cam
bridge, Lyman Beecher, John L. Swift, and
W. B. Spooner.
The speeches of Messrs. Philips and Park
er were almost purely political, with minor
reference to the object of the meeting.
Mr. Spooner dissenting from the declaration
made by both, that men not of the Freesoil
party rejoiced at the assault on Sumner, and
justified Brooks. He said it was not so; and
held out a requisition for the use of Faneuil
Hall, on Saturday night, for a mass meeting,
signed by over fifty men of all parties. The pres
ent meeting, he said, was a spontaneous one;
no special party had the credit of its initiation.
The meeting adjourned at ten o’clock to meet
to-day at Faneuil Hall.

The Brooks and Sunnier Affair—lndigna
tion Meeting.
Boston, May 24. —One of the largest meet
ings that was ever held in this city, assembled
at Faneuil Hall last evening, expressive of in
dignation in the assault upon Mr. Summer by
Mr. Brooks. Gov. Gardner presided, and for
ty vice presidents were appointed, most of
whom were distinguished of all parties. Gov.
Gardner, in a speech, characterized the assault
as one of exceeding grossness and brutality,
and without parallel in the pages of history.
He called upon Congress to expell the assail
ant. His sentiments were responded to by
tremendous cheering thoughout the Hall;
and appropriate resolutions were drawn up
and unnimousjy adopted, after which speech
es by many gentlemen, representing all politi
cal parties, were made mostly of an unusually
warm and defiant character, eliciting tumultu
ous applause.
Lowf.ll, Mass., May 24.—A large indigna

The Imperial Infants of Kentucky.
The Cincinnati Enquirer tells a good story
of the birth of two cub lions in Van Amburg’s
menagerie at Covington, styling them the im
perial infants of Kentucky. The interesting
event occurred about the time the Empress Eu
genie had her first promonitions and every ar
rangement was made for the safe delivery.
The Enquirer says:
“ It may be satisfactory to the whole coun
try to learn that the Princes grow rapidly in
strength and knowledge; that they would
now weigh at least six pounds ; that their ap
pearance is that of well-fed and well-nursed
lionilities, and that they give every promise of
the great and noble old State, which, the fore
most in this Union in the product of the best
specimens of the animal kingdom, may now
add to its laurels that of having afforded the
birth-place for the only heirs of imperial or
royal title that are recognized on this conti
nent.”
A Token of Approval.
We are pleased to know that several of the
personal friends and admirers of Col. P. S.

chastising the notorious abolitionist, Mr. Sum
ner, of Massachusetts are about preparing a
suitable evidence of their approval which will
be conveyed to him by a delegate, under the
instructions of his friends. —Columbia S. C.

Revenue from a Railroad.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
just paid to the city two hundred thousand
dollars, the amount of four per cent, dividend
due tlie city on the five millions which it holds
in the company. The Ledger says:
This stock was obstained by the issue of six
per cent, bonds, and of course leaves a clear
profit to the city on the last semi-annual pay
ment of fifty thousand dollars. If the pres
ent prosperity of the road continues, and four
per cent, dividends are kept up, Philadelphia
will realize a direct money profit from iter
connection with the road of SIOO,OOO per
year, aud indirectly it is believed much more.
Diplomatic Dresses.
It seems that our Ministers abroad have
paid no attention to the instruction of Messrs.
Mnrcy and Maun, as to the Diplomatic Dress
es to be worn. Mr. Buchanan, who, it is re
ported, complied with the suggestion of Mr.
Alarcy, and left oil’ the customary slippery, it
is now said, compromised the matter, by wear
ing s I lack coat with breeches, a cocked hat
and a sword. \ new York journal proposes,
if our foreign ministers should wear a fancy
costume on nffieinl occasions, to adopt the old
Continental costume of buff’ breeches, blue
coat, with white facings and a cocked hat.
Such a dress, it is thought, would be at once
both national and picturesque.— Richmond

PRESENTMENTS.
UTK, tlu- Grand Jurors, (Panel No. 1) of the County
of Muscogee, beg leave to make these our General
Presentments:
The several Committees appointed to investigate and
examine into County matters, have made the following
reports to this body :
The books of the County Treasurer have been neatly
and correctly kept, and show a balance on hand, appli
cable to County purposes, of $57.22; and for Jury purpo
ses, after having paid to Jurors for the present term
$251, a balance of $270.46.
M e report the roads as being in good condition.
The Bridge across Bull Creek, on the Talbotton Hoad,
and on the River Road; also that on the Old Express
Road, across Randall’s Creek, require immediate atten
tion.
\\ s have examined the report of the Ordinary relative
to the education oi the poor, by which it appears the ag
gregate number of days taught in 1855, for which teach
ers were allowed pay from the public fund, was 42,387,
which, at cents per day, amounts to the sum of
1,807 42. leaving a balance of $72.53.
The laws of the State relative to the education of the
poor, we regard as being very defective in many particu
lars, and if the next meeting of the Legislature of the
State was not so distant, we would recommend what ap
pear to us very important alterations. We will allude
to two alterations that we deem very’ important:
Ist. That Teachers should he required to sustain an
examination as to capability before they should he enti
tled to receive pay from the public fund.
2d. Entirely different provisions should he made for
ascertaining the number and determining what children
should he entitled to the benefit of the public fund.
We authorize the Ordinary to levy and cause to be
collected, for the education of the poor of Muscogee
county, for the year 1856, a tax of 23 per centum upon
the State tax of said county, for said year.
We find it would be impracticable for tho Grand Jury
to make out a list of the children who by law are enti
tled to the benefits of the l'oor School Fund, that would
he anything like accurate or complete. The Tax Recei
ver’s hook does not give the names of the children, and
the Grand Jury are fully satisfied that many of tho
poorer children are not even numerically entered upon
said hook.
We therefore recommend and authorize the Ordinary
to appoint one or more persons for each Militia district,
to furnish him with a list of all children in their respec
tive districts entitled by law to the benefit of Poor School
rund, which said several lists the Ordinary is requested
to lay before the Justices of the Inferior Court. And
the sail Justices are requested to make out from said
several lists and the Tax Kecoiver’s return, a list for the
Ordinary, for ids government in the payment of teachers,
Ac. And that the Ordinary pay-out of the funds in
his hands as School commissioner—to the persons who
may make out said lists, a reasonable compensation for
said service, the price to he agreed on by the Ordinary
and the persons who may perform the service.
We recommend the Justices of the Inferior Court to
levy such a tax lor the payment of Jurymen, as will be
sufficient to pay to each Grand and Petit Juror, who
may serve in the Superior and Inferior Courts of the
county, the sum ot one dollar and thirty cents per dav ;
and that ali fees for verdicts and confessions be paid‘to
the Clerks ot said Courts, and by them paid to the Coun
ty Treasurer, to become a part of the fund for the pay
ment of Jurors.
IVe find that the Jail is very cleanly and neatly kept
much to the credit ot the Jailor—and is, as far as the
Jury can see, safe against escape, with the exception of
the window in the passage on the upper floor. We re
commend that two fiat horizontal liars be inserted in the
window, through which the upright bars shall be passed,
so as to divide the iron work into three equal portions.
I lie iron work in this window Is loose, anil should all be
laken out and replaced, after the addition recommended.
Ihe outer walls ot the Jail are very much cracked, and
the doors m the lower story sunk from decay of the
sleepers below. We do not recommcud any expensive
additions to the Sail, inasmuch as it must evidently lie
rebuilt before many years, and when that is done we
recommend that particular attention lie paid to ventila
tion, winch is now defective.
Ine Court House roof is in a leaky condition, and for
tho preservation of the building and records, requires
thorough repair. The cornices in the Superior Court
Room are, same of them, in an unsafe condition, and
threaten injury to those standing below. Wc trust this
will be immediately attended to. We recommend that
the seats now provided for special jurors he removed and
repealed by a platform 12 inches high, of sufficient sizs,
surrounded by a rail, and furnished with twelve cush
ioned arm chairs. The special Juries are sometimes con
fined to their seats three or four davs continuously, and
anil the present arrangement is exceedingly uncomfort
able. Ihe recommendation we make will also give room
to members of the Bar, witnesses and parties. Wo also
recommend that every case where the public officers de
sire it. tlie different offices be supplied with Stoves e the
fire places are defective and liable to smoke.
Ha arc unwilling to dissolve our connexion with the
t ourt without a manifestation of our approbation of the
able and efficient manner in which the duties of the
Bench have been discharged. We congratulate our fel
low citizen* ill the prospect of speedy relief from the
heavy burthen of litigation which has been accumulat
ing upon the Docket for twenty years : mid it is hut jus
tice to tlie presiding Judge to attribute, in a great de
gree, tlie consummation of so desirable an obiect to tlie
untiring industry, energy, promptness and ability which
hate characterized his administration. The result must
he a large reduction of the county expense, and great
relief from the onerous and expensive duties incident
to long session, of the Court. It is unfortunate that “o
important an auxiliary as the Solicitor General has uot
I” on equally active and efficient in the discharge of the
In, 1 ? ,°. f hls ande I JRrtIn <’‘- in which not only this commit
-Irp wj* * eneral, y l ias a Jeep interest.
Io Mr. John Peabody, the acting solicitor, we tender
“5,1 thanks for tlie Uiliigence in the duties incident to the
office, which he has discharged with ability.
In consequence of the unusual press of business upon
the first panel of the Jury, we have been unable to dis
charge all the duties which have devolved upon us. We
respectfully invite the attention of the second panel to
such as we have been compellen to omit.
