COUMBIS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1858 Death of an Editor. We regret to learn the death on the 18th inst,, of Samuel M. Thompson, Esq. late news and commercial editor of the Augusta Evening De -Bpatch. That paper of the above date announ cing the melancholy fact says: ‘“He had been connected with the press of this State for twenty five years, a longer period, with perhaps one or two exceptions, than any among the editorial corps of the State, and for the accu racy of his commercial reports, and general effi ciency as a writer and journalist, had acquired a reputation seldom attained in his profession. Jn all his relations with the fraternity, as well as in private life, those higher qualities of fidelity, gen erosity and kindness, were always observable.— He ever sought to avoid offence, and to promote the interest and happiness of those around him.” Savannah Rank Agency at Milledgevlllc. By reference to our advertising columns, says the Southern Recorder it will be seen that the Bank of Savannah lestablished an Agency at MdlidgeVillc. As this Institution is one whose hills and certificates of deposite are received into the State Treasury for Tax and the es tablishment at this Agency of this place will be of great advantage and convenience to Tax Collec tors and others paying money into the Treasury, if they choose to avail themselves ol it. We un derstand that it receives on deposite, the Bills of all Banks of Augusta, Savannah and the Interior, that are Bankable in Savannah or Augusta; con sequently all persons having the bills of those good Banks, not receivable into the Treasury, can no doubt by depositing in this Agency, either re ceive the Bills of the Bank of Savannah, or the certificates of deposite of the Agency, which will answer at the Treasury the same as the (tills of said Bank. The Extempore Welcome of Mr. Forsyth. On Monday evening, when it was known that Mr. Forsyth had arrived in the city from his mis sion to Mexico, many of his fellow-citizens greet ed him with a serenade, and offered him the sub stantial welcome of the festive board. This im promptu demonstration of their sincere esteem of him as a gentleman and associate, was but the more gratifying to him from the reflection of that higher approbation which was freely shown for his elevated career as a public servant in the re sponsible duties of his ambassadorship. His frank and noble promptitude, under the inspiration of feelings that should signalize the American char acter, in the defence of the rights of his fellow* citizens ami the honor of his country abroad, were frequently alluded to with admiration by his friends in strains of eloquent commendation and enthusiasm. Nothing was wanting to testify the high appreciation of his friends at home for the worth of his character and services. We trust our citizens will take measures for a more general expression of public respect, and at the same time extend their welcome and hospitality to the gal lant officers of the Plymouth, that escorted him to our shores.— Mobile Register. Judge Henning. (Concluded from Yesterday.) I have been going on the supposition that the charges made by the Constitutionalist are true.— But are they true? The first is that Judge Beu ning, when made Judge, was the retained coun sel of McDongald, the President of the Planters and Mechanics’ Bank and a very large stockhol der in it. This charge is true. The firm of which Judge Benning was a member were, and had been for a good while, the general counsel of General McDongald. The second charge is that Col. Seaborn Jones, the father-in-law of Judge Benning, is a stock holder in the Chattahoochee Bail Road and Bank ing Company, and that a number of suits are now pending against him some by bill-holders,some by other creditors, to reach assets of the Bank and to eompel him to pay up the unpaid seventy live per centage of the stock and one heavy suit pending against him, and the assignee of the Bank of Co lumbus, to eompel him to account for assets of that bank. It is true that Col. Jones is sued as a stockholder in the Chattahoochee Rail lload & Banking Company, holding 300 shares of the Stock out of 20.000,the capital being §2000,000 in shares of SIOO each, he however denying that he is legally a stockholder at all. But this is not the whole truth; the Bank of Columbus is the chief creditor of the Chattahoochee Rail Road & Banking Company. The latter company has out between fifty and sixty thousand dollars in bills, and of these the Bank of Columbus holds nearly $50,000; and the Bank of Columbus has no right to require from Col. Jones payment of any part of the debts it holds against the Chattahoochee Railroad and Banking Company, for it has made with him an agreement of which tho following is a copy: ‘•'ln consideration of a contract this day made between the Bank of Columbus and Jones and Benning, the Bank of Columbus agrees that said Bank will not require from Seaborn Jones any part of what may be recovered by the said Bank of Columbus against the Stockholders of the Chattahoochee Railroad A: Bankiug Company, 16 Feb’y 18-43. This is in no event to affect the claim of the Bank of Columbus against the said Bank and its Stockholders. M. GRIEVE, | Committee of the J. R. JONES, J Bank of Colamb’s Then Col. Jones cannot bo held liable as a Stockholder for any debts of the Chattahoo chee Railroad & Banking Cos., except those hot held by the Bank of Columbus. These being not large his liability is no great matter—it being, counting bis share at 300, as 300 to 20,000; count ing him not a stockholder, it is nothing. This is not all. The Bank of Columbus was the holder of the larger proportion of the debts against the Planters A Mechanics’ Bank of Co lumbus, of which debts more than §IOO.OOO, were in bills of the Bank. And it was the further agreement with Col. Jones, that his firm was to receive five per cent, commissions on all sums collected on these debts except sums collected from Gen. McDougaldfor whom the firm were general counsel. What these commissions would come to, in case the stockholders were made lia ble and the money collected out of them, would be a good round sum, as any body may see— doubtless a sum at least equal to any which Col. Jones could be made liable for, as a stockholder iu the Chattahoochee Rail Road and Banking Company. Thus far. then, it would seem to be a small matter to Col. Jones personally, which way the bank cases went. As to the heavy suit pending against Col. Jones, and the assignee of the Bank of Columbus, the facts are about these in brief: W hen the Bank of Columbus failed, one ot the oldest, if not the oldest, judgment against it, was a judgment soon afterwards transferred to Col. Jones for about SIO,OOO, Col. Jones called on the assignee of the bank for payment of this judgment. Tho assignee held a large amount of paper, say §SO-, 000 on Hall A Deßlois, a firm of Columbus, who were insolvent. It was agreed between the as signee and Col. Jones, that this paper should be turned over to Col. Jones, with the right to com promise it, but if he did so, it was to be a satisfac tion of the judgment, even if what he got was less than the judgment. Thcpapor was turned over to him, and he did compromise it for about the amount of the judgment, a little more or a little less. The assignee has express authority to com promise debts. Hall & Deßlois were insolvent, and continued so until Deßlois’s death, and Hall j still continues so. They had a friend, however, ‘ who was willing to endorsejfor them to the amount of the judgment. He did so. And thus they ! were enabled to compromise their paper with Col. .Jones at about the amount of the judgment. It is obvious that this was an excellent arrangement for the Bank, its stockholders and its creditors.— It wasslo,ooo to them. But nevertheless, one of tho creditors objected to it, and tiled a bill to set it aside—a bill, which it is plain, can result in nothing. And this is the heavy suit against Col. Jones and the assignee. But suppose these allegations as to Col. Jones were true to the full extent n charged, < f what consequence would it be. The question in the two eases presided in by Judge Benning, were questionsjgrowingout of the expiration ofcharteis But neither the charter olt'ie Chattahoochee Rail road and Banking Company, nor that of the Bank of Columbus had, or has vet expired. Those questions therefore were different from the questions in the suit against Col. Jones. The third charge, that Judge Benning was counsel for his father-in-law in all kis cases is true. But the fourth, that Judge Benning, when counsel at the bar, united with other counsel in the defence of many other cases of the same class, is not true. The only causes he took part in the defence of were those he was employed in with but one e xception, and in that, the part he took was confined to a single question, the Statute ot Limitations. And the cases he was employed in were very few. With respect to the fifth charge, all I can do is to invite a statement of the “other facts” to which it refers—but which it does not give. The sixth charge is, that so intimate and no torious was Judge Benning’s connection with the bank cases, that it was used against his election to the bench, and he was obliged to promise, aud did promise not to preside in any of them in which he icas employed as counsel, A promise implies parties.—a promissor and promissee. A promise is a contract, a bargain.— Now I undertake to say that Jivdge Benning did not make any promise or any pledge to any man or to any men, or make any contract or bargain with any man or any men as to whether he would or would not if elected, preside in any case what ever. It is most true that Judge Benning had a position on the question of his presiding in the bank cases, and that he made the position known on all suitable occasions, but this position was taken as a lawyer, not under any promise, pledge, agreement or understanding with any man. And that position was, as has already been stated,that he should feel it his duty, if elected, to treat the bank cases like any other eases that might come before the Court, and, following the usage of the other Judges preside in all of those cases in which he was not of counsel, or in which no relative of his was interested, and it is also quite true that his occupying this position was used as an argument against his election. It was used most industri ously—but yet he was elected, aud that was an endorsement of his position by the Legislature. It is true, as said in the’ seventh and eighth charges, that Judge Benning was respectfully re quested uot to preside in the two cases, and that yet he did preside in them. And I think I have shown that in doing so he did what the law re quired him to do. The law, whether drawn from the Constitution, the organic act, the usage of the Judges or the action of the Legislature in electing him, knowing that ho would so preside. I have gone through with this array of charges. There are some other charges aimed at the Court itself, and therefore, at Judge Benning as a member of the Court. These demand a slight notice. “The truth is,” says the Constitutionalist, “tha t it”'(the decision at Macon) “is but one of a multi tude of cases in which the solemn adjudications of the court,upon important subjects, and titles of the law have been disregarded and overturned.” This is very strong language in a very grave matter. A multitude of solemn adjudications disregarded and overturned ! Is this true? If so, surely the Con stitutionalist should have specified a few of these revolutionary decisions. I think it would have been of service to lawyers, I own it would have been to me, for I am able to reeall but a very few cases that have been overruled by the Court, The case deciding that the Statute of the 32d, Henry the VIII, as to bracery and the buying of titles was in force, is one that I recall. But during the time w hen the Court held tfiat statute to be in force, it also held that the purchaser might use the name and title of the seller in an ejectment to recover the land. This was giving an easy mode of evading the statute—in fact was saying that the statute was in favor merely in form. Now the overruling decision only said that the statute not being iu force in substance should not be so in form. As for the bank case decision at Macon, there are lawyers who think that that case upholds more cases than it overturns —or that more of the decisions are for than against it. But as the de cision is not out, 1 will not undertate to say what its effect is, in which I differ. I admit, from the Constitutionalist, for with the air of one who knows things infallibly, it pronounces sentence on both dacisions and Judge before it has seen the de cision, as though it would forestall opinion, or had some special object to serve, that could not wait “forty days.” The Constitutionalist continues, “It requires remarkable acuteness to discover what the law is what, for instance, is a mortgage ? What words in ! a will, will create an estate tail ? And then it re- ! quires remarkable faith to act upon the presump- I tson that it will not be changed as soon as it is ! discovered.” Here again is great vigor of state- ; ment. I confess myself at a loss to understand what is meant by the mortgage ‘instance.’ As to the other instance, I ask in time, who, anywhere, can tell what words in a will will create an estate j tail ? From the best information I have which is slight, this question might be equally as well asked j in England or iu any of the States of the Union. It does not require a great deal of learning to ! know that it is impossible aay where to reconcile all the cases on this question. Hence legislation has been resorted to both here aud in England, and probably in the other States of the Union. In I this respect Georgia is no worse off than her neigh bors, and her parent. The evil will rapidly dis appear under the act —it remedying all the cases that may arise after it. But if the Supreme Court has intentionally overruled any solemn adjudica tion on the subject. lam not aware of it. I think if the Constitutionalist would set to work to hunt up the “solemn adjudications” that have been “overturned” it would see cause to withdraw much of its strong language. The friends of Judge Banning, I grant, had no - reason to expect an advocate of his cause in the Constitutionalist, for they remember that the i Constitutionalist wished him beaten for his office by Judge Nesbit, even at a time when Judge Nes bit belonged to a different party from itself, ande when it was not the turn of that party to have th office, and they now see that reasons have since i come into existence that may naturally make it : still more anxious that Judge Nesbit should beat! him for the office iu the coming election, not far : off: they see a son of Judge Nesbit, its Editor ; and both he and the Judge himself members of its j party, but they do thiuk, that they had the right to expect of it that it would abstain from an at tack on Judge Benniug fora decision, until it had seen the decision, especially as Judge Benning is a person of whom it can use this language “Judge Benniug is a conscientious, honorable gentleman, j and we have no doubt that before presiding in these cases he had convinced himself of the pro priety of the couiso he pursued:” “At the same time we believe (and it gives us more pleasure to make this than any other statement in this ar ticle) that in presiding in that case he did only what he conscientiously believed to be his right and duty, and we dismiss unjust and ungener ous, all the imputations of improper motive which have been made against him ou account of his con duct in the premises.” !\ ould it be too much, Messrs. Editors, to ask the papers, particularly those that have spread charges against Judge Benning, to insert this long article iu their columns? Perhaps it would, I rely with confidence on their sense of justice to do what ie right iu the matter. JNO. A. JONES. The Latest from Mexico. The steamer Gen. Rusk, with dates of the Hth from Santiago, and 12th from Indianola, arrived at New Orleans on the 14th inst. By that arrival the Picayune learns from the Brownsville Flag, extra—the only paper received—that the regular issue of the Flag has been suspended, iu conse quence of the prevailing sickness. In relation to Mexican affairs, the Flag has the following : The news we have received this week from our i neighboring republic, though undetailed in its j particulars, is nevertheless interesting. It seems j that Gen. Blanco, of the Liberal army, with 1500 j men, attacked and entered the city of Mexico, ad- i vanciug to within one block of the capitol. Zu- , loaga made an imposing resistance, and lost 400 of his soldiers, besides a large number of wounded. The loss on the part of the Liberals was compara | tively small. Gen. Blanco held his position for a few hours, and afterwards retired to Tacubaya, where be re i mained encamped till last accounts. The city I would have been captured by the Liberals, hut the partisans within, upon whose movements de i pended the whole triumph, uot being previously j advised of the intended attack, were not prepared | to render any efficient aid. The Liberal forces I were concentrating about the capital with a force sufficient to render its capture inevitable, i The whole republic, with the exception of the capital itself, is now in possession of the Liber als. Gen. Eeheagaray, the sanguinary Reactionist chief, was severely wounded in a daring attempt i to capture the Castle of Perote with a handful of men. The Flag’s accounts of Blanco’s operations at the city of Mexico differs somewhat from that of our correspondent at Orizaba, whose letter we published yesterday (Sunday) morning, and we are inclined to the opinion that his account is the more correct one. The news from this side of the Rio Grande is brief but interesting. The fever, it seems, has been very severe at Ro ma and Rio. Grande City. The deaths at Roma include Don Gregorio Sacns, an enterprising citi zen of Mexican origin, who was one of the first engaged in the building up of lloma, and Mr. Hen ry Mecklcnbur ,cr, of the firm of Stadekcr. Mcek lenburger & Cox. The Flag says ; They have just had heavy frosts on the upper Rio Grande, however, and it is hoped that the ep idemic will disappear from that cause. The trade at Roma is reported as quite brisk, notwithstand ing the fever. A letter to the Flag, dated Rio Grande City, Nov. 6, says: We too have had the fever here for the past month, and I presume that near one hundred deaths have occurred iu the mean time, among the population of Mexican origin. Strange to say, not ono American, either in town or ltingold barracks has been lost in this disease, while among the Mexicans it has been very severe. The Flag learns that the small band of Indians which, for a number of years, have been commit ting murders and robberies ou both banks of the river, have been exterminated to the last war rior. It will be remembered, says the Flag, that about seventeen months ago these Indians crossed over from Mexico, and, after killing Mr. Jaspar Glae veek, stole a number of horses and made their es cape back. Recently they bad been depredating on the Mexicans, and were forced to seek safety on this bank. This information was given to Mr. Adolf. Glavecke, the brother of the murdered man, who, in company with Nepomuceno Cortin as, gathered a party of thirteen men and started in pursuit. On arriving at the Arroyo Colorado, ] theydearned that the Indians were in the vicinity, in force, well armed and determined to resist.— This led the pursuers to ask for a reinforcement from Don Nepomuceno Cabazos, an enterprising stock raiser in the neighborhood. Instructions were left for this auxiliary force to join the first named gentleman at a designated point, who kept on in pursuit. Seventeen men from Cabazos soon joined them, and on the 30th ult., the Indians were overtaken, and nine warriors, composing the S whole of the adult males, were killed. The wo -1 men and children of the tribe were broughtin and ! distributed among the different ranches. The In j dians were overtaken fifty leagues from this place, j and confessed that they intended joining with the Lipans, since it was impossible for them to live lon ger in the settlements on either side of the river. This ends the once powerful tribe of Tampacuas, and thus has the pursuer revenged himself for the murder of his brother. Nene of the tribe now re main but a few squaws with their children. Revolution in Sonora. Nkw York, Nov. 14.—Private letters from Guyamas dated Oct. 10th, have been received, speaking of a revolution there, whichconfii'ius the Herald’s statements. They say that Captain Stone with his surveying party, consisting of about thir ty Americans, occupied three houses in the centre of the town, directly between the opposing parties. If an attack had been made on him, he would have hoisted the American flag and fought under it, being well armed, with plenty of ammunition, and a brig in the harbor mounting two nine poun ders. Lieut. Mowry was also there, ready to lend assistance with his men. The civil war ended bv the surrender of the authorities to the rebels, after getting all they demanded and obtaining a guar antee of immunity from prosecution. The rebels reinstated the authorities. The Americans were not attacked owing to their firm position, and de clining to surrenber their houses to the leader of the rebels. Gen. IVallter’s Emigration Party. Washington, Nov. 17.—There is not the least probability that a clearance will be granted to Gen. Walker’s emigrant vessel at Mobile. It is equally believed that if the large number of per sons now about Mobile attempt to leave, they will be seized, unless they elude the vigilance of the United States officials. Wonderful Exhibition—A Living Man’s Heart Open to Inspection—Excitement at the Medical col lege. The New York papers announce a wonderful curiosity in the case of a living man with defi ciency in the breast hone which enables the sever al movements of the heart to be seen. It has ex cited intense interest for several years past throughout the cities of Europe and Britain. The subject of the defect is aver intelligent gen tleman, M. Groux, a native of Hamburg, twenty eight years of age, somewhat under the average height, and rather pale, though he appears to be in health. He was introduced as the clinic of Hr. Mott, who thought that the substance which oc cupied the place of the sternum might be carti lage. M. Groux then showed the peculiar con formity of his chest, and gave an excellent lec- ! ture on the heart's action, demonstrating his re marks with colored plates, an artificial heart, and I his own body. The collar bones are not connec ted, (neither are the ribs to their opposites,) but there is a groove where the sternum should be; the skin is natural. In its natural state this ; groove is about an inch and a half wide, but it can be distended to three inches. On looking at : the groove a pulsatile swelling is discernable op- j posite the third and fourth ribs : if respiration be j suspended, it rapidly rises to an enormous extent, ! and remains full and tense until the breathing is restored, when it soon subsides. This is the heart. Between the clavicles there is another pulsatile swelling, easily felt, which is the aorta, the great artery from the heart. The dilatation and con- I traction of the lung is also seen. In coughing ! the right lung suddenly protrudes from the chest j through the groove, and ascends a considerable I distance above the right clavicle into the neck. Somebody’s desire that there might be a win dow in the breast of all men, or Charles Lamb’s equivalent, a pane in the stomach, is nearly realized in this case. At the close of his lecture, Dr. Mott proposed a collection in Mr. Groux’s behalf, though his regu lar fee had been paid by the faculty. Scarcely had he said the word when the silver began to fly into the arena from the seats of the vast amphi theatre. Nearly all the three hundred student# were present, and the shower of quarters greatly jeoparded the lecturer (Mr. Mott) and his attend ants. - A celebrated French woman has well said that the greatest blessing a woman can have up- ! on this earth is the continuance of the affection of her husband after marriage. —cw Gold ■#. Cottox. —The Galveston Ncica says : There was a decrease in the taxable property j of San Francisco, California, for the present fis cal year, as compared with the last, of considera i bly more than $4,500,000. The ease is somewhat different in Texas, j though wc cannot show so much gold. The increase of taxable property in this State in h§s7 over 1850 was $22,290, 180, and this year the in crease over 1857 is $8,793,672, and, had the value of merchandise on hand at the commencement of the year been assessed, the increase would have been shown to be about the same as the previous year, or about eight per cent. These facts are | shown by the assessment of tables of our alma nac. DIED. At Macon, Mississippi, on the 11th iust., Mrs. Julia M. Clements, wife of Dr. E. C. Clements, and second daughter of Col. F.

WXXiIiXJI .3VES’ PICTURE ALLERY IN FULL BLAST. nr IIE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co s lumbus, and in fact to all Georgia, that he is now taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken in the “Empire State,” either by a foreign or notice ar tist. His prices range from that much despised sum— fifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United States, yet he fears not the result of a comnarison with those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver tisements and purl's of tlieir own manufacture. He prefers that ladies and gentlemen should judge for themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture will call and give him a trial, he will convince them that he fully understands the modus operandi of picture taking. All he wants is a fair and impartial trial, and he fears no competition from any quarter. His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store, Broad Street, where he will be happy to receive visitors and show them his specimens at all times. G T. WILLIAMS. Nov. 6—lrnd Photographic Artist.
