THE BAHY TIM %S.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10.
Hon. B. H. Hill.
A fining tribute to the legal ability of the above
named gentleman, is paid by the correspondent ot j
the Macon Journal &. Messenger-
It was the case of Parsons vs. Lucus in Monroe
Superior Court in which he was engaged, it oc
cupied live days of the Court, and the speeches
before the Jury were said to have been able- Ihe
writer says; “All were able arguments, but with
out intending any disparagement ot the claims of
either of the eminent counsel, whose names have
been mentioned, truth, and a proper appreciation
of the talents of the Hon. iB. fi. Hill, require a
special notice ol his argument. 1 have heard
Berrien.Colquitt and Lumpkin, in one of the
most important cases that has ever been submitted
in Georgia, to a jury, but 1 have never beard a
more able address than that of the .Hon. gentle
man in this case. For ‘skillful arrangement ol
his legal propositions, and appropriate presenta
tions of them, in a strong and convincing manner,
he is unsurpassed; in his arrangement and .argu
ment olfacts, he has not an equal, lie has a
happy manner, peculiar to hirnself, of interspers
ing in his argument, just at the right place, the
moat powerful and stirring pathetic appeals—re
lieving the direct subject of its weariness,_and ma
king every head a novelty. The bar was crowd
ed with ladies who came to hear him.”
Law and Order. —North and South.
We are told that the people of this vast Confed
eracy are or.e iri interest, feeling and sentiment.
That we are children of a common father, wor
shipping at the same altar, sitting around the same
hearth-stone, loving the same house-hold gods,
occupying different chambers under the same pa
ternal roof. It is a glorious thing that harmony
and good-teeling—the well-being of every regula
ted house-hold, should exist. Rules and restric
tions are necessary for the common good—that
the strong may not tyrannize over the weak —
that the hero of disobediance and misrule may not
infringe upon the sacred rights of the lover of or
der and equality-that all may share alike the heri
tage and patrimony of a common parent. This
is in accordance with the rules ot justice and
equity. What remedy is ihere when a part of the
house-hold keeps the law -abides by the contract
—holds sacred the obligations of brotherhood,
while the other infringes upon the law—grows in
solent with power—disregards the lies which unite
the heirs of a common possession i
These thoughts are suggested by the arrival and
disposition which is to be made of the three hun
dred captured Africans recently brought into the
Charleston harbor. They are in a State, where
t he warmest Southern blood flows—where slaves
darken every rice field—where high-toned chival
ry and independence characterize the people—
where the Africans themselves desire to remain in
servitude than return to Liberia—and yet, bowing
to the majesty of the law—holdiug inviolate its
mandates—the people of the South with one
voice cry aloud let the law be executed, let the
Africans he returned against their own will in ac
cordance with.its preeepts. We ask for nothing hut
that which the law entitles us—we scorn, we re
pudiate the idea ol grasping authority through the
channels of a heartless mob !—Change the scene.
Land three hundred fugitive slaves at a port in
Boston—the law requires that they be returned to
their owners, and the people rise up in resistance
to it—they snatch away the slave from the master,
with all the fury, zeal and enthusiasm which the
christiaus of the Middle Age tore the Holy Sepul
chre from the hands of the infidel Muselman !
And yet, in the face of all this rebel ion, they
talk about the disobedient children of the South
and really say, they will “whip us into subjection.”
We commend the poisoned chalice to their own
lips I
_Savannah Georgian.
We regret to embarrassment into which
our honored cotemporary has lallen, and shall
feel a yet more puDgent sorrow if this embarrass
ment shall operate a discontinuance of that paper.
We have a hope, however, that the Democracy of
Chatham will not be content to dispense with the
services of so valiant a champion, as the Georgian
has ever been, of their principles. Mr. A. R. La
mar, its present or late editor, fe justly regarded one
of the most talented journalists in the South, and
being strongly imbued with the doctrine of Sonth
ern and State Rights, the loss of Iris zealous and
able advocacy at this time we should deplore as
a calamity to our section.
The Slaves— Habeas Corpus.
The slaver of the brig Putnam, who are con
fined in Jail at Columbia, were to have been tried
on the Bth, on a writ of Habeas Corpus. They
allege that they have been confined undercolor ot
authority, charged with some offence against the
U. S. laws. That they have not been informed
of their offence.
That they have not been examined before any
magistrate, nor has there been any examination of
their accusers confronting them, or any evidence
against them taken in their presence, but they
have been imprisoned, and are still held in piison,
without any lawful commitment, and contrary to
law.
They are to be tried before Judge Magrath.

[FOR THE COLUMBUS TIMES.]
A Suggestion to Planters.
I have been long conviuced that every consider
ation of benefit and advantage to owners and man
aaers, recommended a change in the employment
of Overseers— making the year to commence and
end on the first of October, instead of the first of
January. All that remains of the year’s work on
the first Oct., are cotton picking and coin gath
j ering. A manager taking charge at that time
would prosecute them with more energy and care,
than one who expected to leave at the end ol the
year. He would hurry the cotton picking in order
to have all the time possible to prepare for the ne.x t
year’s crpp. He would gather and carefully house
the com, with an eye to its use by himself. He
would put down the crops of small grain with
more care, expecting himself to reap them. He
would more carefully fatten the pork—hogs, ex
pecting himself to use the bacon. The plough
and grazing stock would he taken in charge at
the commencement of Winter, and he would feel,
in taking care of them, more interest and respon
sibility, than if he had to carry them half through
it and then turn them over to a successor.
Between the first October and first January there
ia much time that cannot he devoted to cotton
picking, this he would feel more interest in appro
priating to repairs, ditching, &c., preparatory to
the next crop, than would one who expected to
leave at the end of the year. Again, thus taking
charge on the tirt October, his means ot ascer
taining the capacities of the plantation and the
force upon it, would be far superior to what they
would be under the present plan.
But] forbear to extend this article, believing
that 1 have said enough to call the attention of
the planting community to it. It is easy enough
of accomplishment. Will not the Southern Cul
tivator, the Soil of the South, the Agriculturists
soon to assemble at Atlanta and the Cotton
Planter’s Convention of Houston County, give
these suggestions such consideration as their im
portance seems to demand, in the opinion of, at
least, one PLANTER.
The State Hoad,
On the 30th ult., but too late to he no
ticed in our last week’s issue, the Treasu
rer of the State Road paid into the State
Treasury the snug little sum of s*33,ouQ of
net earnings for the month of August. In
addition to this, we are informed the Su
perintendent has kept back a considerable
amount as a fund to be used in the pur
chase of more new iron, with which to re
place that part of the road where the iron
is worn. The road is kept in excellent or
der, and more repairs have been made du
ring the last year on the track, than were
made in any one of the last several years.
There are over three hundred hands at
work on the line of the road, and have been
most of the summer. All employees are
paid monthly. Every debt against the road
is paid promptly at the end of each month,
and no new debts are permitted to accrue.
Not a dollar ot the monthly payments into
the State Treasury is from any other source
than from net earnings of the road. Upon
this subject we speak advisedly. The $33,-
000 paid in for the last mouth, added to the
different amounts heretofore paid into the
Treasury from the Ist Marclt last, make
up the aggregate of $150,000 net earnings
for the last six months, is not this a pret
ty fair semi-annual return made by the peo
ples’s servants having the management of
our great State work ? We opine it is—
what will the croakers say ?
If the law would permit it, the Governor
could reduce the taxes much more than he
has done. The statute makes it his duty
to raise $375,000, and not more than S4OO
- The tax has heretofore been assess
ed in reference to raising the larger sum.
$400,000. This year the (icT'mur and
Comptroller Gono~; assessed it in refer
ence the smaller sum, $375,000, which
was all the reduction they were authorized
to make under existing laws. Whether
the money is needed or not, it is the duty
of the Governor and Comptroller General
to assess the taxes so as to raise at least
$375,000, as the law now stands. If Ihe
next legislature will pass an act in accord
ance with the recorrmendations which Gov.
Brown made to them at, the last session,
authorizing him to apply the net earnings
of the State road in payment of the taxes,
the road after this year could almost pay
the taxes of the State. This is the way
to do things up Brown. — Fed. Union.
Movements of U. S. Troops in Oregon.
The Indian Wak. — A letter from San
Francisco, dated August 4th. to the New
York Herald , referring to the I'nited States
troops in Oregon, says :
Troops are, however, marching from all
parts of the coast to Walla-Walla. The
detachments of the third artillery, which
first left there, arrived safe at Fort Vancou
ver, where the men were armed for the
field, and then proceeded up the Columbia
river to Fort Dallas. Here they encamp
ed, to the number of about 300, lor some
days, while the officers were mounted and
the necessary preparations were made for
entering the Indian country. The follow
ing were the officers of the four companies
belonging to the division :—Company A —
Lieutenants Robt. O. Tyler and Hvlan B. i
Lyon, Company B—Lieutenant George j
P. lhrie end James Howard. Company G— !
Lieutenants James L. White, Dunbar B. j
Ransom and Lawrence Kip. Company
M—Captain Erasmus D. Keys and Lien-
Lieutenant Geo. F. R. Dandy. Captain
James A. Hardie, Company G., was expec
ted there by the next steamer; also, Com
pany D. under command of Captain Fran
cis O. Wvse, and Company R, under Capl.
Edward O. C. Ord.
The division at the Dalles marched for
Walla-Walla on the 6th of July, It was
expected that it would take them about 1
twelve days to cross the country to that j
post, which is Col. Steptoe’s position. As :
soon as a sufficient force is collected at that
point the first column is to be formed of )
seven hundred men, under command of
Colonel Wright, of the ninth infantry. They |
wpre to leave Fort Walla-Walla on the first j
of August, to proceed northward through j
the Spokan country lying west of the Rocky j
mountains, to meet the Indians who defeat- j
ed Col. Steptoe. As these tribes are now j
Hushed with their victory, and can bring ;
over 3,000 warriors into the field, they may j
determine to meet our troops. If so. we
shall hear aceouuts of a most sanguinary
battle.
Another column of three hundred men,
under command of Major Robert S. Gar
nett, of the ninth infantry, is to leave the
Dalles August 15th, to march northward
through the Simcoe and Natcher country
lying east of the Cascade range. Col. E—,
fourth infantry, under oommand of Captain
Henry M. Judah, is en route for Fort Van-
couver. A company of seventy-five dra
goons, under Lieu*. John T. Mercer, have
arrived at Stockton on the.ir way to Oregon,
from the southern country.
By the last steamer, went home Lieut.
John S. Macon, third artillery, on recruit
ing duty ; also the wife and children of
Captain Taylor, ot first dragoons, who was
killed in Steptoi’s defeat. By to morrow's
statement, Captain J. W. T. Gardiner, of
first dragoons, returns East on sick leave.
His post, Fort Crook, is h it in charge ot
Lieut. Carr. Also, Lieut. J. S. Ives, of the
topographical engineers; who have been
engaged in the survey of the Colorado riv
er, and Major Tower, of the engineers corps.

What lias become of the Cable ?
The cable gives no sign. It was duly

to acknowledge this ovation by opening
its mouth for once at least; yet it continues
to be speechless. The difficulty is care
fully concealed from all except the initia
ted, or is permitted to leak out little by i;t
tle. By steamer Irom Europe we are ad
mitted to a knowledge of the existence oi
certain retardations to thn transmission of
the electric current, and which present dif
ficulties in the way of the practical work
ing of the cable. On this side, we have a
significant fact in the retirement ot Cyrus
W. Field from the direction of the compa
ny, proving that discord exists among the
players upon this.“ocean harp.” It is hint
ed that his resignation is due to a fore
knowledge ot’ the outbreak which is cer
tain to ensue among the electricians and
their partizans. The line is still under the
superintendence of Engineer Bright, whose
incompetency delayed the submersion of
the cable a twelvemonth, and of Electrician
Whitehouse, who occupies it exclusively in
experiments to perfect the working of in
struments of his own invention—instru
ments ascertained in this country to he far
inferior to the delicate apparatus of Mr.
Hughes. When the line shall have passed
from the blundering management now con
trolling it, to one imbued with the true spir
it of American enterprise, we shall expect
some practical results from the accomplish
ment of tin's great work.— Washington

News from Kansas.
Governor Denver, of Kansas, has recent
ly published a letter by way of a reply to
unanimous petitions presented to him
by residents of that Territory, request
ing him to convene an extra session of the
Legislature. The governor declines to call
the extra session, showing that at the pre
sent time there are no members of the Le
gislature whose official terms have not ex
pired. He also expresses the opinion that
the next election should be held under the
last apportionment, according to the act of
, February 20th, 1857. He concludes by
saying that he had consulted the President
and the Attorney General of the United
States oti this point, and both agreed that
the next election should be held under this
apportionment.
Electoral Vote in 1860.—Before the
next Presidential election, three new States,
additional to those voting in 1856, will have
been admitted, viz: Minnesota, already in

come in next winter. In 1856, the whole
number of electoral votes was 296; with
the above-mentionod new States, the whole
number in 1860 will be 306. Of this num
ber, 254 will be required for a majority.
And of the 406 electoral votes, 120 will be
long to the Slave States, aud 186 to the

The Paraguay Expedition—The Law 1/-

Correspondence 6f the N. Y. Herald.
W ASIIfNGTON, Sept. 3.
The selection of the Commissioner to
Paraguay occasions the President no little
embarrassment. There are several appli
cants who are strongly pressed, hut the
President desires the man whom ho ap
points to possess three important qualifies
tion.s: First, he must have brains; second,
to *peak and write the Spanish and Portu- j
gnese languages; and,third, possesses suf
ficient prominence as a democrat to silence I
the complaints of such as claim the cilice j
on the score of compensation for services
w ithout regard to fitness for the perform
ance of its duties. The matter will he de
cided shortly, and the decision will relieve
many anxious persons from the suspense
which they have suffered long.
The Paraguay expedition is becoming
every day of greater importance. The
President is determined not to fail in the
means of bringing Lopez to terms, as it
would be a national disgrace if that despot
should rob American merchants of millions,
and fire into a national vessel with impu
nity. As the Platte squadron is to be en
larged thirteen or fourteen vessels, part of
which will be unable to ascend as far as
Assumption, it became necessary to have a
commodore on the station, and within sup
-1 porting distance of Captain Pige, who is
j to do the lighting, as he h.-.s done the ex
ploring on this river, Cum. Shubrick, who
heads the li-t of navy captains, has been
placed in command of the whole squadron,
and Captain Page is second in command,
s that they will be in Jose connection iu

performance of its duties.
Judge Black’s force in the Attorney Gen
eral’s office are carefully examining all the
aw*, and decisions relative to the disposi
tion of Africans taken onboard slavers.—
The case reveals a positive obligation on
the part of the Executive to send them back
to their native land. The proposition had
been started that they were free agents, and
aa such, could elect to remain or go back,
as might please themselves; but a case
was decided by Judge Harper, in Louisia
na, in July, 1830, which overruled this
point, and left them no agency in the mat
ter. The act wasdeelared to be imperative.
It is generally a matter of gratification to
people here that the slaver was taken to a
Southern port, and that the trial of tiro
crew will take place where the citizens of
a slave State cun show their appreciation
both of the slave Trade and the laws for its
suppression.
