Shooting In Girard.
About ono o’clock yesterday a serious affray
occurred in Girard, Alabama, between Mr.
Eli Hpivy and Mr. Washington Blackburn,
which ended in Blackburn's shooting Spivy,
the shot taking effect in the breast. The
wouud is considered dangerous, though his
physician pronounces his case not entirely
hopeless. Spivy, we understand, had a pistol
atul bowio knife in his hands when ho was shot
down. Mr. Blackburn is said to be a peace
able man, and was, on this occasion, perfectly
sober, and is represented as having acted en
tirely on the defensive.
We also understand that Mr. John Abecrorn
bie, hud one wrist badly cut with the bowic in
the hands of Spivy.

Wo had a heavy fall of rain on Monday

already risen sufficiently to put Boats nfloat,

Steamboat men yesterday, whose crafts have
been Hammering it iu tho vicinity of Colum

White Slavery at. tlie North.
We copy the following article from the New
York Commercial Advertiser. Wonder if the
“ Young Housekeeper” of Boston is in favor
of the enforcement of tlie Fugitive Slave Law.’
—or does hist ideas of the obligations of ser
vitude and the relations of master and servant
only extend to the poor hirelings of his own
race, who while they ure made to feel more
than the social degradation and more than the
hardships of the Southern slave, are deprived
of the privileges, security aud protection to
which the latter is by liis relation to his own
er, entitled.
Coming from Boston, the hot-bed of Aboli
tionism, tho writer’s remonstrance against
those , who are “ mean enough to be guilty of
an offence against the laws of Christian broth
erhood,” is certainly rich. The article with
the remarks of the Commercial, are too sug
gestive to the Southern reader to need com
ment :
tamdkiu.ng wirn oxntn deudle’s -servants.
Mr. Editor: It is a melancholy truth that
there are those mean enough to be guility of
the above offence against the laws of Chris
tian brotherhood, which, as St. Paul says,
“worketh no ill to his neighbor.” A foreign
servant of mine was recently accosted by a
female, richly dressed, (1 cannot call her lady,
though my servant paidher that compliment,)
who asked her if she was satisfied with her
treatment, wages, &c., and if not, that she
would give her a situation suitable to her
wishes, ilad'thc ruse been successful, and
my servant seduced from her allegiance, the
would-be lady would have been surprised,
probably to find that her clever little piece of
social treason had exposed her to an action at
law for damages-—a means of redress the wri
ter of this would most assuredly have tried,
for what lie considers to be a breach of good
faith, good breeding, and good morals.
The above communication from “ a young
housekeeper” was addressed to the Boston
Transcript, but it relates to an offence which
is perpetrated in other places as often as
there. Probably there will be few readers of
these lines who do not know of several in
stances in which domestics have been enticed
away from situations where they had learned
to be useful, by promises of lesswork or addi
tional wages. A “ greenhorn” is employed in
a gentleman’s family, who endure all the in
conveniences arising from her ignorance, iu
the hope that she will compensate for that by
her usefulness after she lias been (aught to do
her work well; but as soon as she becomes a
competent domestic, tho chances are t hat some
kind neighbor will endeavor to lure her way.
Blackstone says: •• The retaining another per
son’s servant during the time lie has agreed
to serve his present master, as it is an ungen
tlemanlike, so it is also an illegal act. For
every’ master has by liis contract purchased
for a valuable consideration, the service of his
domestics for a limited time ; the inveigling
or hiring his servant, which induces a breach
of this contract is therefore an injury to the
master ; and for that injury tho law has given
him a remedy by a special action ou the case;
and lie may also have an action against the
servant lor the non-performance of his agree
ment.” (81. Com. b.3, ch. 8, p. 142). And
it has been judicially decided in England that
“an action lies for receiving or continuing to
employ the servant of another after the second
master has notice that ho is the servant of
another, though he was not apprised of that
circumstance when lie hired him.” (G T. It.
221.) This is the common law here as well as
in England. The enforcement of it in a few
cases would be a useful admonition; and it is
perhaps, to be regretted that the Transcript’s
correspondent had not au opportunity to cur
ry iuto effect his intention to institute a pro
secution.

The year 1812 witnessed the formal leave
taking of Mrs. Siddons, an actress of the most
transcendent talents. Mr. Young himself re
lated to ThomnsCampbell, the poet of “liopo,”
the impression which that matchless woman
once made upon himself when he was playing
with her in “The Gamester,” upon the Edin
burgh boards. In the fourth scene of the fifth
act, when Beverly, iu answer to a charge
against her husband of having been seen quar
reling in the stroets with Lcwsoti, exclaims,
“ Tis false, old man ! thoy had no quarrel—
they had no cause for quarrel.” In uttering
■ theso words Mrs. Siddons caught hold of Jar- |
vis, and gavo an exclamation with such picrc- ]
, ing grief, that Young said his throat swelled, j
I and his utterance was choked, lie stood un
able to speak the sentence which he ought im
mediately to have uttered. The prompter re
peated the lino without effect; when the gilt- j
ed actress walked up to our tragedian, and in
a low voice said “ Mr. Young, recollect your- !
sols! ” — Bentley's Miscellany.

Florida and Alabama Railroad.
In an interview, a few days since, with Ma
jor Chase, or Pensacola, the well known able
and accomplished officer, late of the United
1 .States Topographical service, and now Presi
dent of the Florida it was gvatify
! ing to learn the fact, that West Florida is alive
aud active in the determination to form its de
sired connection with Interior Alabama, All
matters for completing their end of the route
to the Alabama line—the extent of their char
ter—are arranged, and are in successful pro*
j gress. The completion of that part of the
! iino is guaranteed in two years. While this
zeal is thus evinced by the Floridians, it be
j comes tho capitalists of this section to be
\ awake to their duty in performing their part of
1 the implied obligation to perfect the connec
tion. Tho last few years must have made it
j sufficiently obvious to our commercial men,
that the river cannot be relied on as a connec
tion with the Gulf, except for a few months in
a year. The difficulties in navigation nro in
creasing every year from tho daring up of the
swamp reservoirs which supplied the river
during the dry season, and from the new bars
constantly forming the debris from the wash
ing of the soil iu cultivation.
For these obstacles there is no practical
remedy, and the interior will be obliged here
after to depend mainly on tho rail for its va
rious transactions with the Gulf ports. The
route from this point is graded for fifty miles,
and contracts are completed lor the grading to
the Florida line. We learn tlmt an additional
subscription of SIOO,OOO from our citizens is
only needed to complete the arrangements
which will put the whole road in operation in
two years. Considering the largo capital of
this section, this is but a trilling obstacle,
which we trust an appeal to our citizens will
remove in a moment. A little reflection will
convince any one of its importance, and en
ergetic action for a short period will put the
whole route in operation. This is guaranteed.

The Mysterious Organ.
About an hour’s journey from Albersweiler,
and in a beautiful valley, lies the village of
Eusserthal. which takes its name from a con
vent that was once celebrated, but has uow
completely disappeared. The choirof the con
vent church, is, however, still left, and is used
as a place of worship. All sorts of things are
said in the village about the enormous wealth
of the convent, especially about a certain gold
en organ that once stood in the church and
was played during divine service. When the
conveiit, ou one occasion, was attacked by
enemies, the first care of tho monks was to se
cure this treasure. They dragged it to a
marsh which was formerly in the valley, and
sank it as deep as they could. However, they
had saved their treasure tone purpose, inas
much as they were compelled to fly, and died
in distant parts, while the convent fell to ruin.
Every ono is perfectly aware that the organ
is still somewhere in the neighborhood of the
church, but the precise spot where it lies is
utterly unknown. Nevertheless, every seven
years it rises out of the depths at midnight and
its sublime tones are heard iu the far distance,
Nothing is at all comparable to the gentle
breathings of the golden piper in the open air
during the solemn stillness of the night. Soon
the soft tones swell into mighty billows of
sound, which rush through the narrow valley
until the noise again subsides, and ends with
a light echo in tho forest. But no one has
ventured to obtain a sight of the organist who
holds the music in his power, and thus the
discovery of the treasure is reserved for the
future.— German Legal J.
Burglary—Outrage.
About -4 o’clock, Sunday morning, a mulat
to man entered the residence of a most esti
mable widow lady in this city, evidently’ with
the intention of murdering her. She was
awakened by his seizing her throat, but by a
determined effort she loosened his grasp and
called for a light. A servant girl lighted a
match, when the villain fled. The neighbors
were aroused and Mr. A. G. Hall, our efficient
marshal, soon appeared with liis well-trained
dogs. The dogs were put on the scent aqd
ran it to the residence of Mr. liugeloy,
where a negro belonging to Mr. It., was im
mediately arrested and imprisoned.
We learn that this negro had been positively
ordered by the lady whom lie is supposed to
have assaulted, never to put his foot on her
premises; aud the inference is very strong
that, knowing her defenceless situation, lie
sought to take her life, in revenge.— Mont.

Growth of New Orleans.
The Commerce of New Orleans for the past
year has been larger than for any previous
year. We learn also from the Crescent that a
large number of buildings are in the course of
erection in that city, involving an expendi
ture of more than two millions of dollars.
Among them are two splendid churches, two
orphan asylums, one Jewish and one Catho
lic, a Mechanics Institute, one Medical School,
a Jewish Synagogue, a cotton press to cost
$150,000; a house for Janies Robb, to cost
$75,000; several other houses costing from
$12,000 to $35,000 each, and a large number
of stores costing from SIO,OOO to $20,000
each. The new Custom House will not be
completed in several years. It will cost $3,-
260,000. We are happy to rcoord such un
mistakable evidences of the prosperity of New
Orleans, one of the most patriotic and enter
prising of American cities.

from his clothing a valuable watch and some

with a locket which was attached to the watch.
He said he returned the locket, “thinking it
might probably bo valued on account of asso
ciations,” and would have returned tho watch,
but there was such a small umount of capital
in the parse that it would not pay for tlm
trouble he took, so the watch had to be sold to
“pay expenses.” lie says he likes editors,

the American doer. The limbs are very deli
cate, and tlm hoof, which is cloven, is almost
i transparent. In colors they are a reddish
brown, with a white breast and stomach. From

colored stripe on each side, and on the lower
jaw a whito stripe, forming a trident. They
feed like cattle, and chew a cud like that spe

We were led to these remarks by accidentally observing
a spurious counterfeit of Udolplio Wolfe’s grheiiiiuii
Schnapps. Tho labels were imitated perfectly, with (he
slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid
ance of the law against counterfeiting; the buttles wore
very similar, and every thing carefully prepare! to im
pose Upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man who
perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber i Assuredly lie
is; fur, as Mr. W olfe lias expended large sums to bring
his genuine imported schnapps into popular demand,
that demand may be justly considered a part of liis cap
ital in trade, and a fellow stealing a part of his reputa
tion is as much of a thief as if lie had stoleu a barrel of
his schnapps in hulk. And to this crime he adds a fur
ther one ot defrauding the community by giving them a
ruinous article for tho money they intended to expend
tor a commodity in which they had confidence. And,
further, every man who participates indirectly in the
fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much of an ofi'en
der as the principal who planned the imposition. Tuv
remedy ot Mr. Wolfe should lie in his hulding all confer
ued up to the contempt of the community thus swindled
by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon y
their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe
will obtain names, not only of tlie concoctors of these
counterfeits, bat of every man offering them for sale, ami
then publish them to the world; for iiis own reputation
and the health of the community demand that all part;
should he nailed to the pillory of popular execration.
