The lato Homicide.
A friend to Mr. W. Thadeus Rees, whose
connection with the late deplorable homicide
in tins c ty, was mentioned yesterday, does not
consider that our account of the affair does Mr.
K., just.ee. We arc requested to state, upon
the authority of his friend, that Rees did not
shoot at the unfortunate woman who was kil
led, but at a man named Simeon Guthrie, who
was with her at the time, and between whom
and Rees there was some difficulty pending.
We certainly desire to do no man an injus
tice, and therefore give place to this statement:
With the remark however that there are many
conflicting statements in regard to the affray,
which make it difficult to arrive at the exact
tr.i, i. \V j not present at the Coroner s
inquest, and huvo not been able to procure the
evidence before the Jury.
S.uce the above was put in type, we have
made inqu ry, and are reliably informed that
the statement that Rees shot at Guthrie, does
not appear in the evidence before the Coroner’s
Jury. >

Tho Convention was addressed by Linton
Stephens, Esq., a delegate to Cincinnati,
The following preamble and resolutions were
adopted unanimously, viz.:
The Democratic party of Georgia, having
enunciated certain principles in their Conven
tion of November last, and having declared
that the endorsement of those principles oti
the part of tho Cincinnati convention was a
condition precedent to the support of the nom
inees, and that Convention h iving fully and
openly lecugnized those principles, loth in
spirit and substance, and Laving nominated in
the person of James Buchanan and John C.
Ureckcnridgc, candidates in whose honesty and
capacity, the Southern people may justly e
pose the most implicit confidence. Be it there
fore.
Resolved, Ist, That we hereby ratify and
confirm the action of our delegates to the Cin
cinnati Convention, and pledge ourselves to a
xealous support of tho Democratic nominees.
2d, That we fully ratify and unreservedly
accept the platform laid down by the Democ
racy at Cincinnati, and believing, as we solemn
ly do believe, that of all existing organizations
tho Democratic Purty alone recognizes the ob
-1 gations of the Constitution, and alone has
either the will or the power to sustain the
Kansnu-Nebraska Act in practice, as well as
theory, wc hereby invoke the co-operation oi
all good and true men, whether at tho Nortli
or South, who are prepared to unite with us
in supporting the men and the measures indi
catud hy the Cincinnati Convention.
3d, That the Administration of Franklin
Pierce has been marked by a gallant devotion
to the rights of the States aud the Constitu
tion of the country, and in hereby expressing
our grateful acknowledgments for tbe same,
wo only give to courage, constancy and pntri
otiein, the honor wh.ch is their due, and that
in the opinion of thin Convention, we herein
express the sentiment not only of a large ma
jority of the people of Georgia, but of the
large majority of the people of the North.
We gave, on yesterday, the Electoral Ticket,
chosen by the Convention. The following art
tho alternates:
FOR THE STATE AT LARGE.
Henry G. Lamar of Bibb.

The Savannah Dailies, we notice, have rais

slight, and wo have ample room in which ti
lay before our readers, tho cream of the news.
In this connection we may mention, that om
subscription list, particularly in the city, is
daily augmenting, and we have had to make n
considerable increase in the quantity of papei

Killed by lightning.
Flagg &Ay mar’e Cireun company were over
taken by the thunderstorm oil Friday morning,
while t-avelling between Nash an anil Concord,
N. H., and took shelter beneath Some large
trees, where four of their hordes were killed
by lightning, anil six tuembe sos the compa
ny thrown down, but not materially injured. J
The above, together with nun.bet-lets simi
lap eases of which we have heard aud read,
where horses were killed and men unhurt,
forces upon ns the conviction that men are
less obnoxious to lightning than horses. The
why aud wherefore, are beyond our comprehen
sion, aud we should he glad to have enlighten
ment on the point involved, from some modern
Franklin. Electricity, is still a deep subject,
little understood, and in its phenomena, very
uncertain. Perhaps Mr. Merriam could ex
plain.

Unfortunate Occurence.
A public meeting held in St. l'eter Parish,
S. 0., day before yesterday, resulted in a very
serious affray. The facts as they have been
related to us, are simply these:
Meeting was organized by calling the Hon.
Edmund Martin, to ttie Clmir, and lie proceed
ed to appoint a committee to prepare business
for its considertion. When the committee
were about to retire, a Mr. Jesse Peeples, a
member of the House of Representatives ol
South Carolina, a man of desperate character,
stepped up to Mr. Martin, and asked why he
hah not placed him upon said committee ? Mr.
Martin replied that he had not bought of it:
whereupon Mr. Peeples told him that he was
ad and liar; Mr. Msirtin'fortUwith knocked
Him down, and was inflicting a severe chastise
ment upon him. At this the friends of both
-ides commenced to interfere, and it soon be
came ft general tight. We are sorry to say,
that Dr. E. 11. Martin, of this City, the son of
the gentleman alluded to above, was severely’
cut, and that Mr. Peeples was killed.
It is not known who inflicted the wound
which caused the death of the latter.
Our account may not be accurately correct,
tint having come to us in a probable form, w,
give it foi what it is worth.*- Savannah Geor

Fremont’s Faith.
The New York Conner says it is authorized
to say that 01. Fremont's mother was a Pro
estant Episcopalian, and that the Colonel was
trained and educated in that faith ; and fur
her. that many years since he was contirmeu
•y the Protestant Episcopal Bishop of South
arolina, at St Philip’s Church in Charlestoi.
—of which Church his mo her was a metnbvi
or nearly thirty years, aid in the church
>ard of whicli she lies buried with his brothei
md sister. Col. Fremont is now a cnmniuni
unit in the Episcopal Chuieh; Mrs. Fiemout
■dongs to the same Church ; and, of course,
die children are all educated in the faith ol
i heir parents.
It is true that Col. Fremont was married by
i Roman Catholic Priest, who kindly-omit ten
i) ask any questions in regard to his religion :
>ut this was a matter of necessity, as lie mui
i-ied Col. Benton’s daughter without the con
sent of her father.
Outrage on American Citzens.
Mr. John Archer Cullen, (son of the late
Simon Cullen lv-q . of lPclimood.) arrived at
Richmond on the Southern cars Tuesday even
ng, from New Orleans, and will proceed to
Washington, in a few days, to solicit he inter

Accident —Affray.
The only accident that oecu red during the
festivities of the 4th, in the city, that we have
heard of, was that to Mr. Char.es Me Murphy.-
While driving in a buggy, the horse became
alarmed and ran off, ami coming in contact with
a tree, Mr. Mt-Murphy was thrown gainst it,
with such force, as to render him unconscious
for several hours, lie was, however, nntoli
improved yesterday, and hopes are entertained
of his recovery. The fourth of July passed
peacefully enough in Augusta, but iu the su
burhs of the city, at llarrisiiurgh, there was a
serious affray nmo> g some workmen belonging
to the Belville Factory. We have not obtained
lull particulars, but as far as we learn Nathan
iel Green received some four or five wounds,
inflicted by a ku fe in the hands of a man
named Latnmotts, and it was feared the wouuds
would prove fatal.— Aio/mta Chronicle 6 th.
Mental Condition of the Horse.
In a very interesting essay ott ‘Body and

Review, it so stated that many of the mental
conditions of the hua ati be ng are also observ
able in some oftlte lower animals, l'lieyseep,
they dream, they become insane. They have
variations in temper. The horse will weep like
Ins master, and the big tears course as rapidly
down It s cheeks, from grief or pain. In the
disease rabies, the mental character of the horse
is wouderfullychanged. It before died.sense

St. Lout?, June 81)—The Chicago company,
which was disarmed at Lexington, arrived at

1 l'lie Republican (pro-slavery) makes the fol
lowing statement concerning them: It is re
ported that the Company offered the Captain
•iil ,000 nottejaud at Lexington. The arms that
were taken from them were placed in a ware
house for sale keeping, amlj; receipt given for
them. Duvi ig the scene no hard words pasS
o . On the arrival ortho boat at Kansas,
Sheriff Jones, with a company of thirty South
Carolinians boarded, and on the way up the
river, Atchison, Stringfellow and Russel also
came aboard, and after h&ariug what had oc
curred, they demanded an audience of the
leaders of the Company, whom they informed
that orders had been given to disband ail arm
ed parties iu the Territory, and that they had
better return home. The Cbicngoians consid
ered tbe sel vice good, and before the boat
reached Leavenworth, the whole company had
determined to return. When the boat touch
ed at the latter place a large crowd assembled
on shore, but being informed that the party
had concluded not to land, but to proceed to
Weston autl return in the boat, they were sat
i.-tied and made no further demonstrations,
but sent an escort with tho company to Wes
ton, where the emigrants made no attempt to
hind, they having given up all idea of settling
.u Kansas. The committee appointed to es
cort the company back, report that on the pas
■iuge down, the Star of the West met the steam
er Sultana on her way up. with forty more
member- of tiie same company. The Repub
lican lear .3 reliably that this company is to
be paid secretly by Chicago SIOO each for go
ing to Kansas, a part of the money to be ex
pended in arms and amunition, and the re
iminder remitted after landing at their destin
.tion. Thirty day’s provisions were also pro
vided. Alter leaving Alton, the company
found that ijo contract would not be fulfilled,
which caused much dissatisfaction among
them.
