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. > Coroner’* Inquest.

A. J. Macarthy, of Bibb. Wm. F. Plano, of Muscogee. 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.

The Savannah Dailies, we notice, have rais e 1 the price of their daily issues to $15,00 pet annum, and their tri weeklies to $4 00.

While it is true that wt do not publish quite so much matter as oui Savannah contemporaries, the difference if slight, and wo have ample room in which ti lay before our readers, tho cream of the news.

W hen the contemplated defences of San Francisco, are completed, she will have four fortresses, mounting a total of 364 guns.

The fortifications at Fort Point and Aloutnu Island, the most important post lions, are iu an advanced condition, and could be prepared for a heavy fight in a short time. Rev.

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. An indignation meeting has been held at Piedmont Station, Va., to censure John C. Un derwood. and Geo. Rye, for representing the the State in the Black R ‘publican Convention. South Carolina also had two delegates in the Convention, impudent enough, to shoulder the responsibility of representing that gallant State. Their names were, S. C. Bogart and F. O. Willington. Chloroform has been discovered to be an antidote for poison by strychnine. In Phila delphia recently a dog in the last agonies, was almost instantly relieved by this remedy. The Augusta Board of Health, report forty seven interments iu that city for the month of June—whites 36, blacks 12. 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 inn (s th. 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 vention ot the Government in behalf of seven ty odd American citizens, who have been im prisoned in one of the interior cities of Mexi <:o, on susp cion of It iv.ng engigel in a filli blistering expediti n along the Pacific coast ibout eighteen months ago. Mr. C. was at rested with tiie party, and incarcerated for everal weeks, but finally effected his escape, nnl after enduring imr y privations, has at length returned t Richmond—the place of his nativity. The Richmond Whig will publish it a few days an account of the wrongs unu hardships which lie encountered while in Mex ico. ♦ 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 Mind,” in the last number of the Edinburgh 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 lie was good tempered and attached to his groom lie will recognise his former friend, and seek his caresses du.- ti ’ the intervals between the paroxysms ot fury, attl lie will press his head aga nst his bosom, and With a piteous took gaze upon him, as it li seeching relict from the drcadlui malady. \et ill an iiisiaut his ‘whole conduct will change into lurious madui.v** aud singular treachery, lie.labor- under an .ateuse feeling to destroy, and there appears to “bq a desire for misehin f.,| its own sake.

New Y ‘UK, July 6.—lt is reported that j Spain has accepted the mediation of France to I arrange the difficulty with Mexico. Maine Politics. Bangor, July I—The Democrat and Whig Sta e Jouveutio. a both met here 1 1 day. They are each largely intended and much enthusiasm exists in both Conventions. The Democrats nominated Samuel S. Wells, for re election as Governor, and W. R. Harris, aud Joshua A. Lovell, as electors at large. , The Whigs nominated George E. R. Patton, for Governor. The Convention was decidedly | national and adverse to a fusion with the Re publicans. Destructive Fire. Nashua July 2.—Mill No. 1 of the Nashua Corporation was burnt to-day whilst tbe ope* 1 I'atives whe.'O at dinner. The loss is estima ted at $20.),000, half of which is insured. Numerous small buildings adjacent weio de stroyed. A female was fatally injured in jumping from the window. Fuller from Kansas. St. Lout?, June 81)—The Chicago company, which was disarmed at Lexington, arrived at Alton, on their return, on Sunday evening. 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. Conference Mobbed. Chicago, Ju.y I—A mob of border pro -lavery men entered the Methodist Church at Rochester, Mu., during tho sitting of the An nual Conference, took the President, tarred >nd tea her and hini, and shot an old man who was attempting to prevent the outrage. They md ordered the conference to leave the Stato, which they disregarded. Markets. Charleston, July s.—The Cotton market s unchanged since Thursday. Sales to-day i 0 bales a: 11J a lljjc.
