The Baptist Fahl—The Ladies’ Fair and
Supper, for the benefit of the Baptist Church,
closed on Saturday night last. Daring the
time that it was kept open, it was very suc
cessful, being crowded all the time, and with
liberal people. Between fifteen and sixteen
hundred dollars were realized, which will do
very well to start the repairs, to the church
with. The gold-headed cane, to be presented
to the City Alderman receiving the highest
number of votes, upon count of the ballots,
fell to the possession of Alderman Geo.- W.
Wylly. The Fair was quite a success, and
furnished a pleasant place to visit during it3
continuance. ■
Migrated.—The shows which have been

Charleston, and the-Show of nil Shows, dra
matic and circus combination, has gone to
Jacksonville to distract the attention of Hie
Floridians from their impeachment farce. _
A Boat Upset while
kah Biveb—Four kiiaioEs Drowned—Heroic » Morgan
Conduct of a Colored Man.—We learn that
on Saturday morning last, six negroes, four
men and two women started in. a. boat, to
cross from Argyle Island to Gen.‘Goo. "P. r
Harrison’s plantation, sif—
miles from here. on .the Sa-
wind was blowing strong, their boat small
and overcrowded, and the river very rough.
When they were some considerable distance
from shore the boat "npset, and the whole
party were precipitated in the river.
A colored man named Stewart Small, heard
the Bcreams of the party, and without hesi
tating a moment, he rushed to the river,
plunged in and swam out to the struggling
persons. He caught a negro named John
Walker, swam with-him to : the . boat, and
made him catch hold of it; he hen returned
and caught Grace Walker, after she had sunk
twice, and brought her to. the boat The
other four negroes were drowned.
Stewart caused the two whom he had saved
to grasp the boat firmly; and he then took
holdjof it with one hand, used the other in
swimming, and managed, after a desperate
struggle, to reach the shore, " towing in the
boat and the two human beings, whose lives
he had saved. „
The screams of the drowning tones had
brought all the plantation hands to the bank
of the river, and as General Harrison has be
tween three and four hundred persons em
ployed, their screams, yells, and wild gesticu
lations made it a particularly affecting and
fearful scene. .
General Harrison, on hearing of the affair,
proceeded at once to the spot, and had" drags”
arranged, and in a short time three of the
bodies were taken out. of the river. The
names of the four who were drowned were:
C. Butler, Charles Soyer, Kate Sager, and
Alfred Groover. They all belonged on Gen.
Harrison's place, and bad been over to Argyle
Island for some purpose of their, own.
We are indebted to Mr. W. P. Olievera,
County T Constable, who was at the plantation
on business, and returned last evening, for
the above facts.
Small, by whose heroic conduct two of the
persons were saved from a watery grave, is
one of General Harrison’s best men, bears a
good character, and is a sound Democrat.
His action on this occasion was worthy of the
highest praise.

St. Clement’s Day.—Yesterday was St.
Cecilia’s Day, as stated in the Morning News
of Saturday, and next in order on the calen
dar is St. Clement’s Day, which occurs to
day, the 23d of November.
Clemens Bomanue, as he is sometimes
styled, was one of the . early fathers of the
Church, and Bishop of Rome before the es
tablishment of the Papacy. It iB uncertain
whether he was the same Clement spoken of
by St. Paul, and whose name the Apostle said
“is written in the.Book of Life.” He is-the
author of the fine epistle to the Corinthians,
which bears his name. Apochryphal stories
are told of the miracles he performed, and
especially of his having caused the sea po re
tire on a certain occasion. , He is the patron
saint ■ of blacksmiths, The guild of black
smiths in England used to hold a festival upon
St. Clement’s Day, and celebrate it to as great
an extent as the cordwainers did the day of
St. Crispin. The following, is a stanza of. one
of the festival songs of St. Clement’s Day;
“Come ail yot} Yqlcang stout and strong,
Unto St. Clem we dp belong;
And we most drink before we part, -
All for to cheer each merry heart.
Come all you Vulcans strong and stout,
UnjQ St* Clem. I pray turn out.”
Killed Himself.—On Friday evening last
a negro whose name was Small, was in com
pany with another negro, the two having a
loaded wagon and bound for the. country.
Small had stowed away some articles under a
house on Montgomery street,, near Hunting
don, and on arriving there he stopped, took
out a revolver in his hand,' commenced to
crawl beneath the building after his property.
A moment or two afterwards the report of-the
I pistol was heard, and as Small failed to ap-
: pear, .comrade went to search for him.
He was found lying dead—shot through the
heart. ...
It is not known whether the shooting was
the result of accident or intention. His con
duct was Strange in taking his pistol in his
hand when he went under the house; aud it
is said that he owed considerable money to
parties in town. No inquest was held in the
case.
The Baudy Moore.—The Columbus San
says: This beautiful anti Staunch steamer is
now at the wharf, having arrived several days
ago. It is the first time this elegant visitor
has presented herself to the admiration of
Columbus. Sheis strong, neat and durable,
and exactly suited to this river. She belongs
to the line between Columbus,. Bainbridge
and Apalachicola, established by the. Central
Bailroad management to run npon tbs Chat
tahoochee in connection with the railroads
from this point, Eufaula and Fort Gaines.
On her trip up some light damage was caused
to the machinery- She leaves, - an right, to
morrow. Capt. George Whitesides, one of
the most popular and gentlemanly of steam-
boatmen, is in command,”
The Bandy Moore was formerly one of our
Savannah river boats, and' was on the line
between here and Augusta, being one of the
favorite boats on the Touto.-
Sailing of Steamers.—The steamship San
Jacinto, Capt. Atkins, sailed for New York on
Saturday, with 886 bales of upland cotton
and 84 bales of Sea Island, as part' of her
& t!js Huntsville, Capt. Crowell, also sailed,
for New York on Satuaday, with a tremendous
foaigfat, p«* :o£ xvhioh .cQUsmted: 'l£8H

k ? The total exports of cotton to New York,
on Saturday, were 2,113 bales irelands, and
157. bales of sea island. To Philadelphia,
240 bales upland.
■n to testify against
ie no_naarer relation
_—-—. — 1 ; she ‘could not be
called upon to. testify.: The Legislature had
made the law of Georgia so that no person
could be compelled to testify in a matter
which would, tend, to bring infamy or' dis-
grace upon her son. She objects to" giving
evidence, and the law could not compel her
so to do.
Solicitor General Smith said that the casb
now before the Chart was one of the greatest
magnitude known to the law. The question
raised was with. regard to. the testimo
ny of this witness. Section 3671 of
the Code he thought related to civil
and not criminal coses. What would! be the
effect in this case, should this law be held
good here. The mother was the only wit
ness, and should the prisoner he allowed to
go nnwhipped of justice because she objected
to testifying? From the necessity and-ex
igency of the case, where a grave charge was.
against the defendant, she should he com-"
pelled to testify. The sections-of the Code
quoted by the Attorney for the defence re
lated entirely to civil suits, and not cases
where a party was accused of a heinous of
fence, and it was in the power of the Court
to compel the witness to make known aQ the
facts in the ease.
Mr. Hartridge asked the earnest attention
of the Court to the matter, l^ith respect to
whether it would further ;the ends of justice
or.not,; the Court had nothing to do with that.;
If J the ‘ Legislature made-such. a law, 5 they
were responsible for it. In the Constitution
of Georgia the same principle was set forth.
The Constitution was adopted after all the
laws referred to, and deolares that in subordi
nation to the Constitution of the United
States and of the State of Georgia, all acts of
the 2 Legislature, including the Code of
Georgia, shall be the laws of Georgia. The
Code was the paramount law by which the
Court should her guided in this 'matter. He
took , issue with the Solicitor General
on the matter. In caBes of all kinds
a witness was relieved from testifying,
under such circumstances, and could
not be compelled to testify. This principle
was laid down in fhe Code under the head of
the examination of witnesses, which related
to all kinds of cases, whether civil or crimi
nal. A witness cannpt be compelled, to
testify in a manner to oriminate himself; this
is the common, law. The Code of Georgia
goes a step further, and says that a jvitness
cannot be made to testify, where such testi
mony would tend to bring infamy or disgrace
upon a member of his family. There may
have been "wisdom in the action of the Legis
lature; but whether th%provisions of the law
were wise or not, the Court had nothing to
say-in the matter. There was no law in Geor
gia to qompel the’mother to testify against
her son in a case which would tend to bring
iuiamytor disgrace upon that son. The law
was so_written, and the Courts had nothing
to do but carry it out. • i-" . - - ‘ •
Justice* Bussoil said that this was anew
principle, aud one of great importance. It
was'the first time fhe principle had been
enunciated before a Court of Justices. - He
was desirous of doing justice to the prisoner
as well as to the Slate. He would look into the
matter carefully, and give a written opinion
npon the subject- There was agrave respon
sibility resting upon the Court, and the Mag
istrates would be compelled to continue the
case until Tuesday next, at ten o’clock, in
order to give the Court time to look into the
law upon ihe subject- Ho paid a well-merited
compliment to the attorney for the defence,
and said that he should give the matter more
attention because the attorney was one who,
in the conrseof a long practice, had never at-'
tempted to deceive the Court on a point of
law. •. :
Further consideration of the case was then
postponed until to-morrow. ...
The case of Thomas Morgan, who shot
John Rossiter on the fifth of the present
month, from the effects of which shooting
Rossiter died on the 12th, was then called.
Mr. Hartridge, who appeared -for the de
fence in this case, also wished it continued
on account Qf the fthseqe# of important wit.
United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of C«aigi».
lion. John Ersxinb, Judge,' Presiding.
Saturday, November 21, 1868.-
The Circuit Court met at ten o’clock this
morning.
- A question upon which the District Court
Grand Jurors were divided in opinion, and
which had caused them to abstain from pro
ceeding with business on the preceding day,
was presented for the opinion of the Court
by United States District Attorney Fitch. The
question was as to whether an accused per-
son had the right or privilege to ha present
at the deliberations of the Grand Jury npon
his case. ’ '
The' Court said that in the case of The Stale
vs. FhssetL 16 Conn, 456, it was said that the
rty accused might be present at the exami
nation of witnesses; bht this rule was pecu
liar to the State of Connecticut, and appears
to have been' established by length of time
and liberality of practice, but was not a rule
of common law in the United States Courts.
With reference to the duties and obligations
of Grand Jurors, the Judge said:
“When the Grand Jury is empannelled it is
attached to the Court, and may be said to
constitute a part of it, and to be under its
judicial direction, control and protection.
And should any witness be disrespeotful, or
refuse to be sworn or to give testimonv, it
will become your duty to require the officer
in attendance mpon yon to conduct him be
fore the Court that he may be punished for
the.contempt.”
The Judge also called the attention of the
Grand Jury to the various acts of Congress
with reference to crimes, and particularly
those which referred to counterfeiting and
violations of the revenue laws. He read an
extract from the charge of Judge Sherman,
of the United States District Court, for the
Northern District of Ohio, to a special Grand
Jury, as follows:
“Another act of Congress is very freqnent-
ly, violated- It is the one against counter
feiting the currency of the country. Under
the present laws and system, we- have no pa
per currency except that issued by the gene
ral government, and hence the duty devolves
entirely upon the United States officers to
prosecute and bring to punishment offenders
of this description. To do sr, the Grand Jury
of this court must examine and inquire into
the facts of each case and pass npon the gnilt
or innocence of the party charged- A crime
of such frequent occurrence, find .the .power
to bring to pnnishment the offenders being
now exclusively in the Federal Court, makes
it incumbent in you to be peculiarly diligent
and searching in your inquiries aud present
ments in ehaTges of -this kind."
The Court also read sec. 29 of the Act of
March 2, 1867, 14th stat U. S., 484, as fol
lows:
Sec. 29.—That no person shall mix for sale
.naphta and illnmmiiftng oils, or shall know
ingly Bell or keep for sale, or offer for Bale
- such mixture, or shall sell or offer for sale
.oil made from petroleum for ilTtirninating
purposes, inflammable at a less temperature
or fire test than.one hundred and'ten degrees
: Fahrenheit; and any person so doing shall he
held to be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction thereof by indictment or present
ment by any Court of the United States
having competent jurisdiction, shall be pun
ished by a fine of not less than one hundred
dollars, nor mere than five hundred dollars,
and by imprisonment for a term of not less
than six months nor more than three yearfi.”
After a few general remarks the Grand Ju
rors were dismissed until Monday.
Without transacting any Oircnit Court bus
iness, the Coart adjourned until Monday
morning.

The Court wished to hear part of the tes
timony, and 'Mrs. Rossiter was put upon
the stand. Her evidence was as follows:
Mrs.' Bridget Rossiter being duly sworn,
srith i I was standing on my; stoop on Hous
ton street, on the fifth day of November,
1868, in the city .of Savannah, county of
Chatham. I saw my husband leave my house
to go on the Bay. My husband met Thomas
Morgan on the corner of Houston and-State
'streets. I saw him meet Morgan, My hus
band turned find seemingly spoke to Morgan;
and Morgan drew his pistol and shot him. A
crowd collected, and I saw nothing more of
it. I was just one square distant from-the
? lace. The parties were in full view of me.
kqow notbhlg’ more of - the transaction. I
bad language cpnpgrning it to men on the
stoop. ' My husband died on the-12th of No
vember. My busband’S; name, was John E6s-
siter. _
Cross^xdmiried by Mr. Hartridge.—When
Morgan made use Of the expressions, my
husband was at the dinner table. He went
out to go to the Bay toattend to his business;
did not go out to follow Morgan. I was across
one of the round squares of the city—they
on one side, I on the other.
By the Court,7—1 did UOt eee my husband at
tempt to strike Morgan. I saw him draw
near Morgan, but did not see him strike.
Morgan and. my.husband were not friendly.
He has threatened my husband’s lifejiie did
so that day. ije threatened my husband on
the" 9th day of October, ft 6 has never
threatened my' husband sinoe, to my know
ledge. I saw my husband beating Morgan
after he was shot. He was giving him a bad
beating. I cannot m that my husband gave
the first blow. The policeman along with
Morgan ran between them and held my hus
band until be HW sho t: The policemans
name.is Powden,
By'Justice ConneJt.—The affair occurred on
the corner of Houston and. State streets; on
the north-east corner.
The case was then postponed until to-mor

Aerest of a Disorderly Party of Negroes.
For some'time past negroes who come in from
the conntry on Saturday afternoons, have been
in the habit of collectipg at ,a place at the
heiid of Thunderbolt road, when on their way
home, where they got drunk and conducted
themaelyes jq $ Tory disorderly manner. On
Saturday night last the same thing occurred,
the negroes assembled there and created con-
siderable disturbance. The policeman on
duty in the ward came into the Barracks and
reported it, au4 a squfid of policemen was
sent to arrest the gang. There were about
twenty-five of the negroes, and eight .of mem
were captured, after some resistance on their
part! One of them, named Alfred Richmond,
struck policeman Walsh. The 'others gave
their names as Alex. Habersham, Thomas
Siimqniift, Sam Bryan," John Yidear, Eoffipey
Jackson, Dick Bobinson, and.Jerry Fennell.
Theywill be brought “up before the Mayor
this morning- gyppur r-1ypa.
Magistrates’ Courts.—Before Justice P. Jtt
Russell, Jr.—Nicholas Bowley was arrested by
officer Kauffman, and brought before the
above named Magistrate for stealing clothing
from the ship Feamanght. The case was set
tled.
Sarah Jones, a maiden of color, used fhe
poker to administer a little correction to Ma
ria Johnson, who took out a warrant for as
sault and battery, and Sarah fell into the
hands of officers Peyton and Kauffman. The
case was afterwards settled at her cost
John Taylor, a representative of the race of
African citizens of American descent, used
words which are not in Webster’s Dictionary,
against another of the same family. The lat
ter’s feelings were so hurt by the “onsaing,"
that he caused the arrest of John, and hav
ing pnt him to the expense of the costs in the
;case, oonsented to settle the matter.
Rachel Johnson was before the same Ma
gistrate for beating one of her colored friends,
whose injured feelings ware satisfied when
Rachel paid the costs; and the case was then
' settled.
Rachel Jones was before the same Magis
trate for the larceny of a cloak. The garment
had been loaned to Rachel, and she sold it
and spent the money. 8he was in jail for
some time, but gave bonds on Saturday, and
was released.
Nothing of a criminal nature occurred in
any other Magistrates’ Coarts,
PuGiramo, —Alexander Taylor and Matthew
Fleming had a little mill in the street yester
day, and had fought several rounds when a
policeman came np and took both to the Bar
racks. They will'be brought before theMayor
Ibis morning.
Sebmon by Bishop Pebsico.—The Rt. Bev.
Bishop Peraico delivered a sermon to a veiy
i large audience, yesterday, at the Cathedral of
St John tie Baptist It was a charity ser
mon, designed to raise money for the benefit
ofthe-female orphans under charge of the
■ Sisters of Mercy, in this ity. The sermon
was an excellent one, rich in deep thought,
full of practical suggestions, and calcnlated
to do great good. It was. listened, to with
profound attention by the audience, through
out its entire length.
Bishop Peraico is an Italian, a native of
Naples. He entered the Church at an early
age, and was consecrated Bishop of Agra, in
the East Indies, some nineteen years ago.
During the Sepoy rebellion, his chnrch and
all buildings connected with it were destroyed
by the East India Company’s orders, and he
was compelled to flee the country." He Went
to England and commenced a suit against the
company for the value af the Church property
destroyed, and the House of Lords awarded
him the sum of ninety thousand pounds. He
then returned' to Italy, and resided there
until nearly two years ago, when, at the so
licitation of-Bishop Lynch/he came to Charles
ton, and since his arrival in this country he
has been engaged in the missionary service
of the Chnrch, in the States of South Caro
