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 performing here during the past week-.have migrated, to get out of the way of the big circus which is expected to monopolize pub lic attention during the . present week. The Gilbert Dramatic^ Company has" gone to 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. —B—— [—The DoXovan and —A Court of Ex amination was held at th i Court House Saturday mo charges of policeman E on homas Morgan.

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 bales of upland cotton and 73 hales of §ea Island.

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. Mayor's Court. Hon. E. C. Anderson, Mayor, Presiding. Saturday, November 21, 1868. The case of Captain D. F.

Simon Peter, an apostle of Radicalism, youthful but promising; one of the little scamps who are before the Court every few weeks, was brought up' again for stealing a hell from the bread-wagon of Mr. Gieaelhouse.

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.
