Captured Africans,—-300 at Castle
linckney.
It will be seen fnm the telegraphic dispatches,
that the hr g “Echo” was captured off the Coast
< f Cuba, bv the U. S. man of-war, Dolphin, and
is now at Charleston harbor. The Africans have
been transferred from the Echo to Castle Pinck
ney, where a command of U red Sta'es troop?
are p'aced over them. 1h y wore taken from the
Gtiiea Cost, and number thee hundred—two
hundred and sixty males, and forty females, {fix
teen seamen we e captured and are lodged in jail
in Chitleston. liis said, they will eariy the Cap

way, where it cost the U.ii.ed Sta'es $53,000 to
the fugi ive slave law, and remand the
slave Burns to his owner in Virginia.
‘I ha crew were Half Americans and hilf Span

when hr night ii contact wi;h or h >!d in subjection

as a ques inn of politics.
Illinois Crops—Politics &c.
Frcm a private leiter recently iectived from
Illinois, we are permitted to make a few extracts
concerning polities and the crops. Speaking of
Judge Douglas, the writer says, “he is canvassing
the State for re-election to the Senate, and mod
estly entertains the opinion that his qualifications
are ol the highest order, and his claims second to
none. His defeat would be hailed with great joy,
and I would be p'eased to see him rewarded for
his pa it treachery, but, as a Inst alternative, would
vote for him in pref-rencs to Lincoln. We feel
that the Lecomptoo Constitution reflected the
voice of the voting people of Kansas—that all the
f rms of law— ab ov > usque ad malum —iro n be
ginning to end-had been complied with prior to
the presentation ot the Leeompton Constitution to
Cos gress and that Mr. Douglas was too hasty in
opposing its acceptance and attacking the Presi
dent's Message. Still, if the Administration men
do not run a ihird candidate—Mr. Breese or Fitch—
they wid support Mr. Douglas rather than elect
the Black Republican ticket. They hope by this
very eonci iatory c< urse, to smooth the last rip
piings of the hitherto ruffled waves of party har
mony. There are good, true, and staunch demo*
j crats however, who have lost confidence in Judge
Douglas’ fide’ity to his party, and who will not
vote for him under any circumstances. The Le
gislature will probably have a Republican majori
ty, and Judge Douglas will be defeated.
Farmers are busy thrashing out their Wheat.
Various estimates are made as to the probable
1 yield. In some sections, we have glowing ac
counts, but in this part of the State (Southern,) we
will not make more than half a crop. The aver
age crop will be about fifteen bu-hels to the acre.
‘I he rust has destroyed the wheat in some places.
The Corn crop is very fine, considering the back
wardness of the season. Not a grain was put in
the earth before the Ist of June. It is now in tas
st 1 and looks well and flourishing. Even-that
planted as late as the Ist h of July looks healthy,
and will make corn without bad luck. We have
a few fields with roasting ears.
The Oat crop is well near an entire failure. The
The rust, seldom known to attack the oats, has
destroyed the prospect of a crop. Few fields will
be harvested. The Spring Wheat too,is a failure.
The wet weather and rust ruined it. Fortunately
there was not a heavy crop plantod. Hay promis
es an unprecedentedly large yield. Irish potatoes
in abundance and apples in large quantities-
Soma of the farmers plant Hungarian Grass.
It maiures early and resembles Millet. They
think it wiil be valuable.”
Fungi the Prouucerof Yet.i.ow Pever—A
writer in a New Orleans paper says there can be
no doubi that the poison producing yellow fever
is fungi diffused through the atmo pbeie, just as
the odorifeious panicles of arose or other frag
rant flowers are diffused through it, and are known
by their saluting our olfactoiiee on approaching
them early in the morning. These of the night,
irt this ease, have exerted a solvent power over
the flower, the atmosphere for some distance
around being filled with them in fev r time. But
neither chemical analysis nor the microscope ia
able fo detect such an agreeable impression on
the senses ; neither have they been able to detect
the subtle poison that produces yellow fever.
Whatever, then, may be the cause producing the
lever, one thing is believed to be certain, viz: that
it is diffused through the atmosphere, and that
whoever breathes a sufficient quantity of that at
mosphere to imbibe a certain amount ol the poison,
will have the disease.

sustain that high reputation.

Opinions of the Press.
From the opinions expressed by the Press
thiougliotr the country, far and wide, it seems that
the character of our friends, Samuel Swan & Cos.,
and the reiialiliiv of their Lottery institution, is
ty no means problematical. Facts are smbborn
things, and it is impossible to get over the mass of
evidence m their favor, touching the whole bu6i
ness management of their concern. It their ene
mies cou and single out ihe first questionable act it
would eratify them, no doibt, but they cannot do
it. The Mes-rs. Swan & Cos. know their position,
deal hoooratdy. pay promptly, and have gained a
teputation which places them altogether beyond
the reach of the most vindictive loe.

To the Editor of the Rome Courier 6j Statesman :
“Where ignorance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise.”
The editorial article in your paper of the 25th
August, was written by seme person, who was
unfortunately unacquainted with the law and de
cisions of the Supreme Court —or more unfortu
nately not disposed to state them correctly.
it has been long the well settled law ot Eng
land and the United States and Georgia, that up
on the dissolution of the corporation, all the debts
due to and from it, are extinguished. See Judge
Lumpkin in Moultrie vs. irmilie et a!.
If this will not satisfy you, permit me to refer
you to the piece signed “Fiat Justitia,” published
in the Times fij Sentinel of Columbus of t 24th
August, 1858, and beg you to look at the authori
ties therein cited.
You have been almost as unfortunate in your
notice of the decisions of the Supreme Court.
It has been four times decided by that Court,
nor is the decision at the last Term ol the Supreme
Court, the first one in which such decisiou was
made.
It has not been in all the cases recognized by the
Supreme Court, that at Common Law, tho debts
due to aDd from the corporation, are extinguished
by the dissolution of the charter, and this ia not
confined to Bank charters ; but to all private cor
porations ; Judges Warner, Nesbit, Lumpkin, and
Starns’s, holding that this principle does not ex
tend to the stockholders.
This was held iu Lane vs. Morris, 8 Ga. Rep’s.
4f,8 The samd was held in Thornton vs. Lane,
8 Ga. Rep’s, when after elaborate arguments of
morß than eight days continuance which closed on |
Saturday night the Judges (Nesbit having left the j
Court on Sunday morning) delivered their opinion
on Monday mornirg If the argument was long
and elaborate, the consultation of the Court is cer
tainly free from that charge.
In Moultrie vs. Stnilie et al., Judge Lumpkin
and Starnes, no doubt, with the same mature de
liberation o:i the principle of “ stare decisis’’ did
decide (Benniog dissenting,) that the directors were
liable.
Here your decisions end.
In Robison vs. Lane, 19 Ga- P p’s, the Court
did not decide that up<>e a dissolution f the char
ter, the stockholders were liable. Judge Lump
kin did, Judge McDonald admired the old common
law principle, (indeed no Judge has denied it,) but
decides that the judgment of forfeiture was not
complete because no execution had been sued out
on the judgment of forfeiture, and on that ground
decided against Robisou (the stockholder.)
In Moultrie vs. Hoge, 21 Ga. Reps. 513, Judges
McDonald and Benning,(Judge Lumpkin dissent
ing) decided that upon the expiration of the char
ter of the Commercial Bank of Macon, the debts
due to and Lorn it were extinguished;, and that the
directors were no longer liable.
This case was decided at January Term, 1857,
of the Supreme Court at Macon, one year, and
eight months before the decision was made by the
same Judges at Macon in 1858.
Why was no censure or clamor raised about
this decision ? Because it was not in one of Col.
Dougherty’s cases. But for him and lis associates, j
who have purchased the bills at an immense dis
count (indeed for little or nothing) Heaven and..
r* -d, . • -. la . | - I'nw*
ijZfra?uiuaf TJe tuovcii, tne Judges censured and
held up to public reproach and the Court itself
abolished—and for what? To aid reckless spe
culators upon the misfortunes of ihe unfortunate
stockholders and help Col. Dougherty to make
a fortune by the violation ol the laws and the
commission of an offence that subjects him to pro
secution and fine and imprisonment at the discre
tion of the Court*
For Judge Benning, he and his friends have no
fear. Truth ia mighty and will prevail. The
people of Georgia are honest and generous, and
when they know the truth* will protect an upright
man and an honest and fearless officer. C.
The Captured Africans.
The Key of the Gulf\ (Key West .) pub
lishing an extra, giving an account of this
capture, says:
The prize had on her stern “Echo,” and
painted out was “Putnam of New Orleans”
The crew consisted of twenty men—half
Ameiican and half Spanish. No one would
acknowledge the command ; the supposed
and probable captain—who is evidently an
American —upon the question being ask
ed, “Who is captain ?*’ replied, with the
utmost coolness and dignity, “All are cap*
taius.” The vessel’s papers, colors, and
: everything calculated to identify her, or
i those connected with her, were destroyed
immediately upon the conviction that es
cape was impossible.
Cap. Maffitt put Lieutenants J. M. Brad
ford and C. C. Carpentei, with twen y men
on board, confined the brig’s crew in double
irons—except the supposed captain, who,
was taken on board the Dolphin, where he
now is in double irons—and ordered the
vessel to Charleston for adjudication, for
which port all sail was then nmde, and the
two vessels parted company.
Two sick passengers— against whom
there was no proof of complicity—were ta
ken on board the Dolphin and put ashore
at this place.
This is the first slaver captured by an
American man-of-war, and the prize with
slaves sent to a United States port ; and it
cannot fail to create com-iderable excite
ment at Washington, aud indeed through
out the country.
The prize had on board when taken,
about tfree hundred and thirty Africans,
mostly young—none of whom were over
thirty-five years of age; and there was evi
dently several births on the voyage. More
than seven-eighths of the slaves, male and
female, were iu a nude state. They were
confined to the deck in a fitting posture—
“spoon fashion.” Originally, there were
470 taken on board, ot which number 140
had died.
Among the incidents of the capture, we
learn, that the night before that event, the;
vessel being within about eighty miles of j
the port of destination , a grand champagne
“blow out” was had on board in anticipa
tion of soon successlul'y completing the
voyage and fingering the proceeds—of
which we are informed each of the crew
were to receive §9OO, and the owners ex
pected to clear §130.000; but before they
had had lime to sleep off the effects of their j
potations, the* Dolphin hove in sight at
daylight, much to their surprise aud cha
grin. Also, during the chase, when it was
thought by the slavers that their vessel was
distancing the Dolphin, thev again indulg
ed in champagne, drinking confusion to
the pursuers, leaning over the rail and
howling and tossing off a bumper in the
most approved and “don’t-you-wish-you
•ould-catch-us” style. But when the last
shot was fired, going betw-een her masts,
heir self-assurance and hopes of escape
turned to fear aod excitement, and after
the capture, they expressed great astonish
ment as to the accutacy of the shot, and
asked “what kind of a gun sent a ball that
distance.” .
A Slaver in our Port.
A slave brig, called the Echo, arr ved
! at this por. yesterday afternoon, in charge
jof Lieut. Bradford, L T . S. N. Lieut. Brad
ford is a citizen of Alabama, and Ist. Lieu
tenant on board the U. S. brig Dolphin,
Lieutenant J. N. Maffitt commanding.—
Lieut. Maffitt, very kindly writes us, that
the Dolphin captured this vessel, which he
terms an American slaver, after a long
chase, on the evening of the 21st inst., off
the North Coast of Cuba, lat. 23“ 30, long
80° 20 ; . When first discovered the slaver
was sailing under Enhlish colors, but per
ceiving the Dolphin, whom he took to be
an English vessel-of-war, he hoisted Ameri
can colors. When he discovered his egre
gious and fatal error, he made the most
strenuous efforts to escape ; but a tew well
directed shots from the Dolphin, brought
him to reason, and he surrendered at dis
cretion. The slaver, still deeming the
Dolphin an Englishman, did not anticipate
a search or visitation while he displayed
American colors.
Lieut. Maffit writes thet their cruise has
been anything but pleasant, as they find the
yellow fever prevailing wherever duty calls.
Tne following is a list of the officers of
the U. St lit s brig Dolphin :
J. N. Maffit, Lieutenant Commanding.
J. M. Bradford, Ist Lieutenant.
E. P. Williams, 2d Lieutenant.
C. C. Carpenter, 3d Lieutenant.
J. M. B'xwne, Passed Assistant Surgeon.
A. F. Crosman, Acting Master.
From Lieut: Bradford we learn that the
Echo had 318 Africans on boarl when cap
tured—twelve have since died, and the ba
lance are suffering somewhat from dysen
tery. Suspicions were ti:st excited by the
Echo’s suddenly hauling off from the coast,
and upon the firing of blank cartridges,
hoisting the American flag. The Dolphin
then gave chase, and proving herself the
better saiier brought the Echo to. Lieut.
Bradford, with a force of sixteen men,
boaided the Echo, and found her in the
hands of a crew of nineteen men, Ameri
cans, English and Spaniards, neither of
whom would acknowledge themselves in
command. A portion of this crew were
transhipped to tiie Dolphin, who took them
to Key West, whence they will be sent to
this port by steamer.
Lieut. Bradford, with Lieut. Carpenter,
six marines and ten seamen, constitute the
prize crew in charge of the Echo, and are
now at quarantine in our harbor. The
cargo, generally speaking furnishes good
specimens of negroes.
Our thank? are tendered to Lieut. Maffit
and Lieut. Bradford for their kind courte
sies. So far as Lieut. Maffit is concerned,
who has heretofore brilliamly identified
himself with this port, his, friends
\yi l deem this ex al gea ag entirely re
tuting the °y/miou which the Naval Board
AVJnV.Ju' 1 of him, that as an officer of the
Coast Survey he was unfit for duty at sea.
The event has caused as much excite
ment in our community as the success ot
the Cable, and speculation, as to the result
of the capture, the fate of the cargo, and
the general bearing ot the affair, is great.
Much curiosity is also excited, and many
are anxious for an opportunity to observe
the African in his native state. It is fortu
nate for'the comfort of the officers in charge
that, the rigidity of the quarantine laws will
spare them much importunity and annoy
ance.— Chariest on Mercury.
Beviere on the Carpet Again.
, A lecent letter of the illu.-irious ‘Zouave,
Ri viere, to the New York Express, denying
that he wore armour in his duel with Capt.
| Maury, of Mobile, is the most superb piece
of insolence that we have ever read. In
ter alia , he speaks of his disciination to re
fer to matters with which are connected
“the ladies of my [his] future lamdy.”—
Cool, isn’t it? And then he denies that
Maury is entitled to be called “Captain!”
Think of that! A thieving adventurer,
cashiered in his own country, raising a
question about the position of a citizen of
a place which the said adventurer dare not
visit. We can imagine how Maury itches
to get hold of him, with a stout cowhide
in his hand. But the chevalier will never
give him the opportunity to score him—
Mobile has seen the last of the gallant
Zouave in his top-boots, red cap and monk
ey coat. He is lost to our “commercial
emporium” forever.
En passant , when Riviere was in Sav
annah, it was expected that he would pur
sue Mr. Blount through Columbus and
Mon’gomery to Mobile; at least people
that did not know the vaporing scamp,
thought he might do so. S—as we have
heard—the young men of Columbus got
ieady for the bullet-proof scamp, by plac
ing a keg oftar and a bag of feathers, at the
Muscogee Rail Road Depot: but alas! the
bavaimah train brought no Rtxiere/ The
Captain prefer: ed to return to the “Napoleon
Hotel.” lie had better remain there, for if
he ever defiles the soil of Columbus, Mont
gomery or Mobile, he will be lynched as
certainly as he is a low impostor and thief
It wiil be well for him to remain away—
even should he escape lynching<>n such a
visit, Maury would flay him with a whip
and probably takeoff both his ears. But—
we are assured that when Capt. Maury
fights him with the cowskin, he intends to
be perfectly assured that all is right under
his shirt. — Molgomery Mail .
