FROM RICHMOND. Richmond, Dec. 30.—Salty Andersen, who was released from the execution of the death ■sentence by Judge Underwood, and after wards re-arrested by the Mayor, was to-day anally set free. The county authorities made no requisition for her, the attorney for the county putting it on the ground that if the Court made a requisition and executed her it would be in direct disobedience of Under wood’s decision, and it could not try her anain without conceding that all its actions, since July, were illegal and nugatory. Gen era! Stoneman declined to instruct the Mayor in the matter, and accordingly the prisoner was turned loose to-day,— The decision of Judge Underwood, under which she is freed, is that no Jndge or Clerk of a Court, disqualiiied. by the Fourteenth Amendment, is now, nor has been since the adoption of the amendment, a legal Jndge or Clerk, and that proceedings pf all Courts of which they form- a part are illegal .

DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA.' Delivered at Atlanta, December 22, 1868. THE LOSS OF THE HIBERNIA. BY N. J. HAMMOND, SUPREME COURT EXPRESSLY FOR THE CONSTITUTION. W. W. 'Whitlock, et. al vs. Jane Vann, et al Equity—from Thomas. BROWN, C. J.—By the third item „ . . of the will of A. V. he gave to his wife during her- widowhood, certain negroes and other person al property, and about five hundred and twenty acres of land, known as his “Dome Place.” In case of her marriage the negroes were to be divided into three lots—she to take one, and his two youngest-sons, each one share, and his said two sons to take the bal- ance of the property in said third, item, in cluding the ‘-Home Place',” which was to be held by their guardian till they were of age." Testator afterward sold the “Home Place" to K for $10,000, and took notes and gave bond for titles. _ After this sale he added a codicil to his will, in which he expresses his purpose to give direction to' a “certain fund that he ■ shall have,” and recites the facts of the sale of 1 the “Home Place” for $10,000, and directs his two youngest sons, as set forth in the third and'fourth items of his wilL He after wards collected $2,500 of the purchase money, which he used, and soon died. The balance of the pnrehasa money has never been paid, the title to the ‘.‘Home Place” re mains in the estate, and K., the purchaser, is insolvent: Held, That there was on ademption of the specific lagacy to the extent of the $2,500 collected and used by the testator before his death, and as there is nothing for the codicil to act upon till the purchase money due at his death (which is the “certain fund” that was the object of it) is collected, the codicil, made under a .mistake, did not revoke the will, as to the home place; and that the widow and the two yonngest sons take it under the third item of the will. But should the pur chaser at a future time pay the balance of the purchase money and interest, and com pel a conveyance of the land, the codicE will then attach to the fund, when so paid in, and it will be the duty of the executors to in vest it in a plantation for the widow and chil dren, as directed in said codicil. Judgment reversed- . A. B. Wright, J. L. Seward and William Dougherty for plaintiffs in error. A. D. McIntyre, for defendant in error. Miles G- Dobbins, vs. A Porter, et. al. Equity—from Chatham, McCAY, J.—Where a bank made an assign ment of its assets for the benefit of its credit ors, and a large portion of the assets was in money at a marked valne, and a credit, near ly twelve months after the assignment, filed a creditor’s bill, charging that six months after the assignment, and again shortly before the Sling of the bill, he had commanded his share of the cash assets from the assignees, and they had refused to pay him unless he would, release the bank from the whole of his claim, and the bill prayed an account: Held, that the bill' was not demurrable. If there was complication or cause for farther delay, it ought to be set up by way of defence, it can not be assumed. Judgment reversed. W. Dougherty for plaintiff in error.

Oar English files contain a fhU account of the loss of die steamer Hibernia, seven hun dred miles from the Irish coast, heretofore announced': def y by the cable:' Certain p ssengers, who escaped in the .Captain's ba t, say that at two o'clock on the morning of uosday, the 24th nit, they were awakened l • a crash. Some went to the cabin, ana. he Captain met them',"arid as sured them there was no danger. Having confidence! him they went to bed. As the Captain did: ot appear at breakfast however, suspicion was awakened,. arid shortly after wards he tdd them to’get ’ ready to go into the life-boa t The crew meanwhile were working at t! e pumps. The gale kept on in- an the water in the ship gradually rose. Whei first informed of the danger in which they yere placed the passengers, -mani fested some 1 excitement. They all felt dis tressed, andthpse who could weep wept; but as the day yore on the excitement gradually subsided, aid during the night of Tuesday, it had altogether disappeared. All were per fectly, qniet that night,, and one or two even Blept Tfiejj all had - confidence in Captain (as so collected, and managed so qdently came into the cabin and spoke a eheimg word tq everybody. About four o’clock* on Wednesday morning it was determined mat the boats should be launched. Owing to thi high seas this work was accom plished witli some difficulty, bnt fortunately they were ill got down at last Previous to launching No. 1 boat the Captain came to the cabiri and told the ladies to Come on deer. The water was then ankle deep in' the saloon. All the lady cabin passengers went to the front of the vessel There was no hur rying and crushing. The boats were filled in the most orderly way, each, when it had re ceived its complement, shoving off to give placfc to the next boat One old woman stur dily refused to leave the ship, being'deter- mintd not to leave her husband, bnt she was put »n board of the life-boat by force. She Bcreimed lomlly while being let down into the loat. When the lost passenger had been got effi Captain Munro,-with the chief engi neer, came off in the last boat The passen- I era ffesoribe the capsizing of one boat and lie labor of the crew in the Captain’s boat in bailing oat the water under the enconrage- ment.of .the Captain. At half-past seven on Wednesday night there was a great cry of “A sail, asaU !” The Captain ordered lights to be put np, and told all tile passengers to shonli for their Eves. All shouted lustily, and an answer was returned from the Star of Hope. Mn Cocks, of San Francisco, and his moth er, Mrs. Cocks, Who were cabin passengers in the Hibernia, and who arrived in Leith on Tuesday afternoon in the Star, of Hope, fnfi- hish the following statement: “The weath er on Tuesday, the 24th, was very, stormy; and a high sea was ronning. When it was found that there was no hope of saving the ive boats were launched, and filled with the passengers and crew, under the su perintendence of the captain, who tlirough- ont displayed the greatest coolness and in trepidity. The whole of the passengers felt fully persuaded that had it not been for the coolness and bravery of the captain, who was the last to leave the ship, they would have lost their Eves. The five boats, had only left the'sliip about, fifteen minutes when she went dor - stem foremost I was in the captain’s boat iri which there were in aU thirty-three persons.

The Star of Hone also picked np the boatswains boat, in which there were nine teen persons, making, I think, a total saved of-fifty-twp persons.

BUTLER AS SHARP AS EVER. To show what Butler means in finance; be writes as follows: ’ T" I propose to make the income tax on the bonds ten per cent, and why? Because they paid rio tax, State or municipal, and I thought that taxation shonld be equaled. The’ howl of repudiation, dishonesty, swindling, was raised at once, and wherefqr? I had only proposed to donble toe present income tax on the bonds. Congress had before tfebled it, and not a word is said against the right or propriety of so doing. Again, resorting to the “rule of three,” if doubling the tax is dishonest, repudiation arid swindling, what crime was treblirig toe same tax ? Bnt when I proposed doubEng toe income tax only, how .the rascals howled repudiation! Yet;never a word when Congress trebled ‘ it What, then, was toe reason? Because tori ras cals did not care a copper for any income tax which only taxed the conscierice -of toe holder of the bond. They laughed at the net which only, caught gudgeons; bnt I determined not to be cheated, and therefore proposed to have my income coEected by the Treasurer by withholding it frbm the coupon when he was caUed upon to pay toe interest upon toe bond. That made everybody pay eqnaBy; none would escape toeri. .How the rascals shrieked and j^Bed in agony abont repudiation and dishonesty.

The price at which this Guano 1b placed is. so much below that of Peruvian Guano as to constitute it an object of material importance to Southern agriculture. The large capital and resources of the Company ena ble it to furnish a Guano of jthe highest value at the lowest possible cost to consumers, and the highest in terest of the Company is recognized in this policy. .
