Telegraphic Errors.
We have recently seen several very singular
errors in the spelling of names by Telegraph.
Bay before yesterday, we received two dis
patches from Old Columbia by the Columbus
and Apalachicola line from 8. L. Solomon. In
both instances the namowas spelled S. T. Sot
toinon. The Journal of Commerce of the ldth

We learn from the Intelligencer that the
lion. James Shields, late a Senator from the
State of Illinois, was umongst the visitors at
the Capitol yesterday. A cordial welcome was
extended to hitn by his former associates in
Congress and by many of the citizens—a greet
ing which was well deserved for his patriotic
career in the public service, and the national,
conservative, and liberal spirit with which ho
fulfilled his high trusts.
The City Council of Nashville, Tennessee,
has passed an ordiance directing the employ
ment of additional police force day and night,
forbidding negro schools and negro preaching;
forbidding all tiogro assemblages of negroes

stances.
Would it not be well for the Council of Co

a negro Sunday school has been in operation
for more than twelve months.

Tho Savannah Press.
The following compliment to tho Savannah
press is from the editorof the Petersburg (Yu)
Express:
We have never in our intercourse with mem
bers of the pross throughout the country, met
with more courteous, hospitable and gentle
manly men, tluui those connected with the
editorial fraternity of Savannah. During the
recent sittings of the Commercial Convention,
the offices of tho three daily papers, were lib
erally provided with pens, ink, paper, envel
opes, paste, and even scissors, for the accom
modation of visiting members of the press.—
Warm rooms and large clonti tables, thuspro
vitled, were accessible at all hours of the day
uud night. Messrs. Thompson and Withing
ton, of the Daily News, Messrs. Hilton and
Lamar, of tho Georgian and Journal, and
Messrs. Snead and Sims, of the Republican,
are entitled to our warmest thanks for the
very cordial invitation they extended us to their
sanctums, and for the facilities so liberally
furnished. Closely oqcupicd as they were with
the laborious duties incident to the conduct of i
a daily paper—which duties were augmented \
tenfold by the holding of the Convention in
their beautiful city—they and their employees, |
yet found time sufficient to extend to us many ;
courtesies, in the absence of which we should j
have been subjected to much inconvenience.
Their kindness we most gratefully appreciate. ;
It affords us much ploasuro to render this pub
lic acknowledgment, and wc hope an opportu
nity may present itself, wheu we shall be ena
bled to reciprocate such favors.

Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.
Washington, Bee. lltfi.
The Supreme Court was again the centre of
attention to-day. No more important question
has ever been submitted to decission than that
iuvolved in the Missouri case—Scott vs. San
ford, —which is, the constitutionality of the
act prohibiting slavery in the territories North
of 30 deg. 30 min. It was upon this point
that Mr. Keverdy Johnson argued to-day, and
and in a style of forensic splendor that re
minds us of the palmy days of the Court, when
Marshall uud Story urdorned its bench, and
Pinkney and Webster its bar.
The Court appears to be profoundly interest
ed in the questions presented. They give the
deepest attention to the arguments, and ex
tended the time allowed by the rules to each
argument, and have heard but one argument,
on either side, each day.
Every one must concur in the opinion ex
pressed by Mr. Johnson, that a decision of this
long pending and irritating question, by the
highest constitutional tribunal will be acqui
esced in by the country, and remove at once,
a source of disquiet and danger.
The time is favorable for such a decision.
The hot sectional contest, which turned in
great part upon this issue, has stemmed the
current of sectional feeling, and afforded a
pause, during which reason may prcvnil over
passion and prejudice.
But, if the Court cannot unite in an opinion
on the question, and, worse still, if they should
be divided upon it by sectional lines, their de
cision will have less weight than it may be en
titled to.
1 think it not unlikely that the Court will,
after all, come to the opinion, that they are
not necessarily called upon to give decision
on the constitutional question presented this
case.
The constitutional point wus not made in the
Court in Missouri, where the case was decided
against the plaintiff'.
They may decide the case without reference
to that question now. It is not known that
they will even take jurisdiction over the case.
They may decide tliut the plaintiff', even if a
free colored man, is not a citizen of the United
States, so far as to entitled to sue in the Uni
ted States Court.
Our readers remember the bloody tragedy
the past fall, in Cahawba, Ala., which resulted
in the death of John R. and John A. Bell.—
The investigations came off’ at the recent term
ol the Circuit Court of Dallas, and the result
is thus stated in the Cahawba Gazette:
Last week wo received information of the
verdict of the jury in the case of the State vs.
Judge Bird, for the killing of John A. Bell,
just as our paper was going to press.
Tho entire testimony in the case was taken
down by three gentlemen of the bar, two of
whom have kindly furnished us their notes. —
But we deem it unnecessary to publish it in full
as we have already laid beforoour readers the
testimony taken down before the committing
Magistrate.
Tho prosecution was ably conducted by John
T. Morgan and J. A. Stallworth, Esqrs., assis
ted by Reese B. Gayle and Geo. F. Blevins,
Esqrs. The defence, by Messrs, Lapsley and
Byrd and the Hon. W. L. Yancey. The speech
of the latter, on the occasion, was one of his
finest efforts, and elicited universal admiration
—surpassing the expectations of even his warm
est friends.
Tho Court charged tho jury, that if they be
hoved from the evidence, thedeccased, in mak
ing their attack upon Dr. Troy, were in the
commission of a felony, it was not only the right
of the defendant ( who was his brother-in-law),
but the duty of all good citizens, to interfere
to prevent it, even to the taking of life, if ne
cessary.
The jury retired for a short time, and us we
stated lust week, returned a verdict of not guil
ty, which was received with audible demon
strations of upproval throughout the Court
house, which were promptly checked by the
presiding judge.
Tho Court then proceeded to organize a jury
for tho trial of Dr. Hunter for the killing of
John R. Bell, which was completed about noon
next day. At this stage of tho proceedings,
the Solicitor stated to the Court that from the
determination of the former case, he perceived
that there was no chance of a conviction, and
consented that a verdict of not guilty be enter-
ed, which was accordingly done.
The Solicitor then stated that he would take
upon himself the responsibility of asking the
Gourt to cousont that he nol. pros, the bill
against Chas. A. Kell for assault with intent to
murder, growing out of the same transaction,
which was granted, the other side making no
objection.
As the impression has prevailed in the com
munity that Messrs. Bird, Troy and Hunter
would prosecute the last mentioned case, and
that tho acquittal of Dr. Hunter was the result
of a compromise, (we were misled in relation
to the matter,) it is due to truth to say that
they novel- intended to prosecute, and nothing
to do with the settlement of the ease against
Mr. Bell.
Collision between the Atlantic and Ogden
burg.
This case, which has been in the admirality
courts so long, is thus decided by Judge Mc-
Lean:
“The weight of the responsibility for this
great calamity lies on the propeller. The At
lantic was in fault, but not in the same degree
as the propeller. Where the fault is mutual
the damages are divided, and not apportioned
by the comparative culpabilities of the parties.
The decree of the District Court is reversed,
and a decree will be entered that the damages
stipulated bo divided, one half of which shall
be paid to the libellants by the respondent.
“It is not proper to remark that the addi
tional evidence produced in this case since the
decree in the District Court has greatly chang
ed its aspect. In the argument the counsel
for the libellant admitted the decree that court
was correct on the evidence before it. The
damages were stipulated in the court below at
$75,0tt0 on the part of the Atlantic, and SB,-
000 on the part of the Ogdenburg.”
Colored Rights.
There is a colored Legal Bights Association
in New York, organized, we understand, for
the purpose of securing the admission of black
and mulatto people into all public carriages on
a par with white folks. The society are now
prosecuting the Sixth Avenue Bailroadconipa
ny for ejecting a black person from one of the
cars. A meeting was held on Monday night,
at which $lO were subscribed to carry on tho
suit; and it was stated that the Kighth Aven
ue Railroad company direct tlie conductors
as follows:
“If a colored person gets upon a car, the
conductor must ask thepiissengersif they have i
any objections to the colored passenger. If 1
any one objects, then the conductor must put ]
the colored person off.”
The Grand Duchess Alexandria l’ctrovno, j
consort of tho Grand Duke Nicholas Nicolaic

This is pretty quick time.
The Havana correspondent of the New Or
leans Delta says that “the African slave trade
seems to be proper, despite all the efforts made
to check it. Scarcely a week elapses that we
do not hear of African slaves having been land
ed in someone or other ports of the Island.”
Mr. Harrison, who it is reported has been
offered the chief judgship of Kansas, was one
of the executors of the will of the Hon. Henry
Clay, and formerly the law-partner of Mr.
Breckinridge, the Vice President elect.
During the month of Octobor 18,010 tons of
guano were shipped from the Chincha Islands,
including 4,530 tons to the United States, 10,-
700 tons to England, and 2,771 tons to France.
The lowa Senate, on the 4th inst., passed a
resolution, that “the Committee on Federal
Relations report a joint resolution, instructing
our Senators, and requesting our Representa
tives in Congress to support the admission of
Kansas into the Union with her Topeka (free
State) Constitution.”
Some people suppose that “ the slave trade”
is contrary to international law, but such is not
the fact. It has been decided by the British
High Court of Admiralty, and followed up by
the Supreme Court of our own country, that
the “ slave trade” is in accordance with the
laws of nations.
It is mentioned as another evidence of the
ignorance of the English concerning things
happening on this side of tho water, that the
London Times locates the duel in which Mr.
Pryor, of the Richmond, Va., Inquirer, was
concerned, in Richmond, Massachusetts.
A blind hand organist who went about the

makin out the necessary papers.
Wnafc Enterprise Can Do.
The steamer Isabella left the Central Depot
Landing on Wednesday evening last, with
someone hundred ton of Shelby county coal
on board uml two barges in tow, each holding
about one hundred and twenty ton. Shelby
coal was not the only article of Shelby county
enterprise on board. Some fifteen hundred
barrels of Shelby lime took their departure on
the same steamer lor the Gulf City. It really
done us good to laik at the det opinent of our
natural wealth as exhibited by the cargo on
the Isabella. Five years ago Selma imported
from abrood every particular of coal and lime
used here or in the vicinity. Now Selma is a
large exporter of each of these two articles.
For the next year we predict there will be ex
ported from Selma forty thousand barrels of
lime and fifteen thousand ton of coal. We
menu exported, shipped independently of home
consumption. Now let us look at this thing
one moment 1 Suppose our prediction is ve
rified—and we have not a doubt but it will be
—the forty thousand barrels of lime at. say
$1.50 per barrel, is a business of sixty thous
and dollars; and when aided to it fifteen
thousand ton of coal at $-3 per ton, seventy
five thousand dollars—making a total of one
hundred and thirty-five thousaud dollars ac
tually dug up out of the ground, and five
years ngo such an enterprise was not thought
of. These two branches of business only
proves to our mind what a little energy and
industry can do in a great State so formed by
nature as is Alabama. It is the duty of the
law makers of the State to foster as far as pos
sible all efforts to develop the mineral resources
of the State. —Selma (Ala.) Sentinel.
Skeleton of a Fashionable Sermon.
The following from the Kuickbocker, is a
well-merited burlesque on the style of dis
courses too common in these days from dandy
jack graduates, anxious to show off’ thier
slight smattering of superficial learning, with
out knowing how to properly apply it:
Text—“And he killed the Fatted Calf.”
Introduction—Not necessary to say much
about tlie Prodigal Son, for nearly every
wealthy family has a specimen of its own, and
needs no enlightment on the subject. Divide
the subject into gve heads.
Ist—Speak of the calf, oud inform your
hearers how a calf should bu fatted. Give him
all the milk of two cows, except a tin cup full
now anti then for a baby. Here you can make
some learned remarks about the milky-way,
the belt of Jupiter, and Lord lloss’ telescope.
2d—lie killed the fatted cult, but not only
the Scriptures, but Josephus and the Fathers
are profoundly silent on tlie question how he
killed it. As this was more than a thousand
years before the invention of gunpowder or
firearms, the presumption is that the old man
didn’t shoot the critter, but pitch into him with
a club—for clubs are very ancient institutions,
3d—Explain why the oi l gentleman, iustead
of a calf, didn’t kill a shoat—make a one-horse
barbecue and have a real time of it.
4th—lnform your hearers what the word
calf means when used in Greek, Latin, Chnc
taw or Lockjaw.
sth—Dwell pathetically upon the melancholy
degeneracy of the present age, evinced by the
fact that I'nfhers now-n-duys, instead of treat
ing a runaway sou to a “fatted calf,” are pret
ty npt to treat him to a “hasty plate of soup,”
made from the hide of tho calf’s material pro
jector.
Uouclusion—Throw a little geology; talk
learnedly about “grapewade” and “transition
conglomerate.” Wind up tlie discourse with a
most eloquent, affecting appeal to the con
sciences of your heaters on the Duruham breed
of cattle.
Stampede of Free Nesroes.
The free uegroes at Murfreesboro’ took a

Walker Meeting in New York.
New York, Dec. 21.—A meeting was held
in this city last evening, composed of the sym
pathisers with Geq. Walker, which was well at
tended. Letters from Gen. Quitman uud Sen
ator Jones were received and read. The usual
style of resolutions were passed, and about
thirteen hundred dollars were collected.
The officers of the U. S. Government have
received orders to stop the shipment of arms
or provisions to Gen. Walker, and the Presi
dent has ordered the arrest of Garrison and
Morgan, agents of Walker, on a charge of
seizing property belonging to the Transit Com
pany.
Personal.
We had the pleasure of a call, yesterday,
from James Walker, Esq., the father of the
pross of Tennessee, and also the father to Gen.
William Walker, President of Nicaragua. Mr.
W. is still in the enjoyment of good health,
activity and spirits, and bears his years re
markably well. —Memphis Bulletin.
Hoops at Concerts.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is our authority for
this interesting anecdote:
At a fashionable concert lately given in a
neighboring city, benches were used in the
hall instead of chairs. When the doors were
thrown open the audience commenced to pour
in briskly, and in a short time the ushers an
nounced to tho managers that the house was
full.
‘•lmpossible,” said the manager, who was
acting as ticket seller at the time.
“It’s a fact, sir,” replied the usher, and
you’d better stop the sale of the tickets, for
no more can get in. There are no seats left.”
“I’ll go and see,” and suiting the action to
the word, the manager slipped from the ticket
office to the door of the hall, looked in, and
beheld a sight that filled him with dismay.
The immense benches extending across tho
hall served only to scat each about six ladies
—and their hoops ! The hall was completely
“jammed,” but with an audience whose num
bers were anything but large.
Determined to make up for losses, on the
next night he inserted the following line con
spicuously in his “posters: ”
“Ladies wearing hoops will be charged
double price for seats.”
Strange to say, the demand was readily
complied with, the hall being well filled by
persons who yielded to the novelty of the
thing themselves in order to enjoy the fun of
seeing how it would operate on others.
“ Lid ye vote yesterday, Michael ?” “Sure
I did, according to the instructions!” “And
what were tho instructions ?” “ Didn’t you
hear them? vote early and often !”
