He is one of the negro draymen’who think that pedestrians have ho rights which they are-tJourid tb respect.

For. they're the “ loil ” critters, That fit and ran away. Paul Campbell, a representative of the “man benighted ” race, went on a drunk ; he got “ loily ’’ drunk; he was overrunning, with patriotism, and abused every person who,came along the street; until a policeman arrived, who took him to the barracks. Paul waB fined three dollars. Alexander Hardee was accused of drawing a-knife upon a Mr. Helmbold, and of disor derly conduct in the house of said Helmbold; also of drawing a knife upon and resisting the arresting officer. The case was continued for further investigation. Joe Hunter went to market early this mom- iug and stole a hide from out of a country man's cart. The theft was discovered before Jpe.had time to hide, and the article re covered and thief caught, after a brisk chase in the course of which half-a-dozen people were run into and capsized. Joe struck Mr. Miller, who caught him, and, was tried.for larceny and assault. He proved guilty of both, and was provided with a. situation on the chain gang tpr sixty, days. Matrimonial.—“Its An ill wind that blows nobody good,” and if matrimony profits- nobody else, it puts a few legal tenders in the pockets of the Ordinary. Matrimony , is an ancient and honorable institution, which’ has been in existence almost ever since the foundation of, the world. It is that blissful state of existence by which the parties each gain a mother-in-law, and numerous aunts by marriage, to make frequent visits^-hring their knitting and stay awhile, to see how the young couple are getting along. If a man never possessed relations before, he diseovexs himself with plenty of them after marriage.,. Adairi is supposed to have been the happiest of men; he did’nt have hali-a-dozen nervous aunts to take’tea with him seven days in the week, and use his honse as a cheap boarding, place; and there was’nt anybody to tell it all over the village if he stayed out late at night, or danced with some pretty girl at a pic-nic to which Madame Eve had not Been invited. Adam mnst have had a glorious time of it, with: nobody to throw,stones at bis glass house,and, at the same tiine, neglect to smash in their own windows. Every man and woman is horn to die; and the statistics show that the greater portion of them have been born to be married, or come to that end in some way or other. Married persons live.longer than single ones, on on average; for the reason that they have soine one to take cayeof them when sick, to nurse and comfort them, and on every convenient occasiori’ thereafter' to ask them; ‘-Where would yon have been now,-if I hadn’t takeri care of you ?” It is a stage of existence to which men and women take as naturally as- ducks to water. . It is a..moment of. intense exeiteinent to bridesiriaHs,' arid of insanity to dressmakers and milliners. ' It is a' p'eriodpf life fraught with the' greatest happiness;to many; full of evil to.some. During the month of November, just passed, sixtegn jyirite, residents of Chatham county, committed matrimony; or rather sixteen li censes were issued, to enable them to do so. During the same period thirty-five of the colored brethren indulged. This is a decrease of six from the number of licenses issued to white persons during October, and an in crease of four in favor of the colored popula tion. The number; of marriage licenses is sued during the past three months was as follows: Whites. September -..v.. .20 October .: 22 November...- 16 . M.-4 Blacks. 15 —A letter received from Hon. A.

Richard Wayne Wilson, sworn and saith: On Mon day, the 31st of August, 1868, In the city of Savannah. Chatham county// State of Georgia, about half-past eight o’clock at night; I was visiting a friend, and was sent for-by my mother, -to -go- and- search for- my brother, Charles P. Wilson.. I-went home immedi ately, after receiving the message; Jtfy mother begged me to seach for my little brother. Charles P. Wilson, who she-said, bad-left home between nine, .and- ten o'clock that morning, to go hunting, taking his gun and powder-flask, shot fluak andbird-hag with him. I immediately set out ou the search, m company with a friend. We hunted 4d* him until Thursday, tlie third of September, 1868, at one o’clock; when, in company with Henry Tow. Wm. Henry Bennett, E. A. Caldwell and Francis Mendel, we found the body of the child, Charles p. Wilson, lying dead in a pine thicket, about a half-a-mUe south of 16 battery which is situated just outside the city -limits, ip Chatham county. The body was lying with thO head to the North feet South, on the back, with his bird-bag and stra^v hat lying near him, about two feet from the body. I examined the body, BndiOund the left arm broken at the elbow, the "left* breast perforated with what I supposed to be buckahot,flred from some weap on which must have been in the hand of some person who was standing near the boy at the time. In the wouhd in the breast I discovered fragments of moss, which T supposed to be the wadding of the gnu from which the buckshot were-discharged. There was also a contusion on the head, just above the right ear. We immediately procured a wagon, and bore the body of the. child toAhe .residence of.

There was a man in the house whb had baen shot,' and: I carried him to the hospital. He was so badly shotthat-they would not receive him at the hospital.

I cut the cow s throat, and ran after Dick, and we never went back there again. I do not know who killed the boy. Jackson had the gun cn Monday, and would not Jet the old man Cyrus have it. We went to get the gnn, Jackson would not let us have it. The evidence being closed, the. Court, an nounced that it was ready to hear the argu ment of Counsel. CoL Holland said that it was simply nectary to have evidence of a crime having been committed and to decide on its character. The welfare of society de pended upon the magistracy of the country, sitting in such a case as this. Tbe city owed a debt of grati tude to the officer who had ferreted out this most damnable of damning crimes. He had never before heard of a crime so awful, so shocking, so awful in itw character, and must, have caused even the devils in hell to cringe when it was told there.

He saw the boy coming and cursed the boy. "With malice aforetbohght, with hellish in tent he deliberately raised the gun and fired. Wdl for the prisoner that he lives in Savannah, or he would not be here to-day. Dick runs to help the boy. and the hellish murderer comes up, picks up the boy’s gun, drives away Dick, and with horrible malice, struck him twice in the head with it. It could hardly be believed that any human being could have such double-distilled damnation in his soul, as thus io crush ont the life of a child. Next lie conceals the crime; tells Dick that he must say nothing about it. But the case rests not upon the testimory of Dick. The lifeless body of the boy corroborated the tale fold' by Dick. *-The imprint of the bloody hand was 7 upon it; the wounds contained the moss with which the gnn was wadded. And again, the testimony of Dick is coroborated by the testimony of an adept who saysr that the gnn must have- been close- to the body. Di£k said that this fellow did not take the bird bag;- when the boy "was found his gnn, his powder flask, his shot flask were . gone; -the bird bag was there. The body corroborated the state ments of Dick with regard to the blows upon the head. It was not necessary to show the parficuldr wound from the effects of which tho child expired- - It was common sense thaino person could have Jived after receiving so .terrible a shot wound. Up to Thurs day the* State bad accounted for what the pr&oner tfas doing, and the. events of that day corroborate the evi dence of Diet. The prisoner, in his, statement, stid nothing about what he was doing all day Monday. There was no <iiscrepancy between the^testimony .of witnesses. Outride of the damnable nature oi the crime, the only astonishing fact was that there was so much evidence against him. The fellow’s confessions to Marcus were corroborated, and the body of tho boy, with its g**ping wounds, showed the truth of the boy Dick’s statement. Could the/law inflict’such a pun ishment as never had been heard of, there was not a man in the community, black or white, who wopld not point to that man and say that it should be inflict ed upon him. It required a magnitude of forbear ance, of self-control, for a community to hear of such a crime and allow such a murderer to come inzo a court of justice for that hearing which the law gives ltin> - - ’ : \ ^ At the conclusion of CoL Holland’s address, Justice Russell told the prisoner, Jesse,- to stand bp, and when he had done 60 addressed him as follows: Jesse, we have - heard' the evidence for. :the' State against yon, and yon- have had your -witnesses. sub- pcened here, and they haVe jiot said one word in,ydnr behalf. Yon have heard the words of the counsel for the State; and I say/in my place, here, on the bench, that in all my experience as a Magistrate, running ; as it does through twenty years. I never heard of such a/ case. It is well for .you that we do not stand here as jurors to tpr you: but I advise you that before you do come to trial you prepare for the worst, for I sec no hope for you. This is, without exception, one oT the. ; most outrageous murders that I ever heard of. I con gratulate the citizens of Savannah upon the course they have pursued in allowing the law to take yon into its hands. Men of your own. color have sworn against you; the man who witnessed the act has told-, how the deed was done. God have mercy upon tbe- soul of a man who could commit such'a tqzlme. Justice Russell then read the order of Court, 33 fol lows: T _ The State, of Georgia vs. Jesse r Watkins, negro^- der. It is ordered. That the prisoner, Jesse Watkins, be turned over to the January 1869, term of the Supe rior Court, for murder, and that he be remanded to jail for trial. . Philip M. Russell, J. P. Lawrence Connell, J. P." Jesse was then handcuffed, tied, and car ried back to jail, to await his trial at thernext term of the Superior Court. United States. Courts. Hon.

Cussed Each Other Into Trouble.— List, gentle reader, while we tell What matters strange of late befel Two maidens, black, whose heads were full Of something that much looked like wool, Who cussed each other; were not Chary Of words not in the Dictionary. Annie Robinson was a maiden of black ex traction; if the Royal blood of Ashantee did not course through her veins, it was no fault of hers. She never went to the Buro Sunday School, nor ate soup with a two pronged fork. She was formed after the model of the Venus —de Medici—a long ways after. In feature she was beautiful as an houri, speaking with sarcasm.— Nature provided Annie^ with a tongue, and she early learned to use it. It wagged early and late,- and, as will’ be seen, frequently when it oughtn’t. to. Annie met with Margaret Merritt, another child of sunny Africa; A maiden she, . Who trod the earth with stately dignity. Margaret was an accomplished linguist, and gave Annie the full extent of her knowledge. Annie retorted, and soon the two. were en gaged in a ‘ ‘gibble-gnbble-gobble, ” of * such startling rapidity that fifty short-hand repor ters could not have taken it down. They cussed each other for everything upon the face of the earth, and under the waters which surround the earth. They abused and ton gue-lashed each other until utterly exhausted, and then rushed off to Justice Levi S?Hart’s, where tliey took out cross warrants "for mis demeanor; had to "give bonds to keep out of jail, and to pay a good round-bill of costs. They paid dear for their cussing match. Robbery.—About dark yesterday evening two colored citizen's, voters of about 16 or 17 years of age, filled with the glorious ideas of freedom, appropriated from Messrs. Russell & Alexander’s store, oomer of Abercom and Bay Lane, a half box of tobacco. The porter observing the thieves made chase <after them, when they dropped'tKeir “rights” and fled to the Freedman’s Bureau, or some other appro priate place. A couple of pistol shots might have taught them that “wliite men have rights that tho black men are bound to re spect,” ■ ' ■ I ; Personal.—Among the legal gentlemen visiting our city just now, we notice Judge O.
