Sapremc Court.
In another column will be found the remarks of
Mr. Colquitt, Senator from Mtwcogee, upon the
resolution requesting the resignation of Judges
M.-Donald and Henning. The resolution was in
troduced by Mr. Cooper of Pcriven, who support
ed it in a speech of greed potter, of which the chief
point was that if it were not carried, hi* constitu
ents would be clamorous for the abolishment of
the Court. The proposition was so reasonable,
andjthe argument in support of it so overwhelming,
that it might have been expected the Legislature
could not withstand it. We can never forgive the
Senate for the arrogance of presuming to differ
with Mr. Cooper’s constituents. Hut, seriously,
would it not be well for those gentlemen who are
affecting so much wisdom, to condescend to shed a
ray of their superabundant intelligence upon those
benighted minds which accept the decision of the
Supreme Court as orthodox and legal! Hint de
cision is before the country —printed ill plain, un
adulterated english. Why do they not attack it.’
It is open to criticism. It was published in ad
vance of its order, that the people might have an
opportunity to examine its foundations ; yet men,
who wore supposed to he worthy of a seat in the
Senate of Georgia, will allow themselves to de
nounce the decision and, indirectly, the Court,
without combatting a single position which it
takes. “Quousque tandem abutere * rf'e.
The Echo Slave Case.
Columbia, S. C., November 30. The Grand
Jury came into Court this morning, anti found no
bill on all three indictments against the crew ofthe
slaver Echo. Counsel will probably move for the
discharge of the prisoners, when the question of
the constitutionality of the Act will come up for
argument. The United States District Attorney
will endeavor to houl the prisoners.
Mexico borrowin'!} Monkv. —The Washington
Star says that a Mr. Maguan has arrived in that
city with full powers, it is said, from President Ju
arez to negotiate a loan of from five to ten millions
of dollars, for the payment of which Sonora lands
are to he pledged. Sonora Mata is said to be au
thorized to ratify the contracts entered into by
Maguan; and it is expected that the latter will
shortly be recognized by the Administration as
the Minister from Mexico to this Government.
The Paraguay Expedition. —The Washing
ton Union noticing the report, by way of England
that Lopez was placing obstructions in tbe rivers,
in anticipation of the visit of the United States
vessels of war, says it is extremely doubtful wheth
er, any impediments thrown into the river will lie
aide to obstruct the running of our vessels of light
draft. They may excuse more or less delay by
exacting greater caution in the pilots, and per
haps material will have to he removed in some in
stances; but we have no belief in any very seri
ous difficulties to grow out of this specie of defense-
It says, in any event, the expedition will he likely
to visit the capital of President Lopez, and it hopes
only to procure from him all the satisfaction our
Commissioner may demand.
Depressed State op Shipping in England.—
The Ehglish ship owners are still complaining
bitterly ofthe depression of their business, which
they attribute to the repeal of the navigation
laws. The London Shipping Gazette says the
business has not been so hard for thirty-five years.
The rates of freight were as low some years ago,
but then it cost much less to sail a ship, provis
ions and wages being twenty-five per cent lower.
Not one vessel in ten is paying its way, nor is
there any prospect of an advance. At Shanghai,
out of 104 vessels only fifty-four were English;
and in all the ports of China and India-, foreigners
were so numerous and taking freights at so low
rates that it was impossible to compete with them,
especially in the coasting trade and intermediate
voyages.
Private letters from Lieut. Mo wry state

Ship Niagara.— The London Times has a letter
from St. Vincent, Capo deYerds, stating that the
Niagara put in there on the 22d Oct. It appears
that of th’e 271 which the Niagara took on board
at Charleston, 57 died before the ship reached the
Cape de Verd Islands. Dr. Ranney, the agent,
describes the condition of the- negroes as fol
lows ;
“They are extremely filthy, and much prefer
nudity to dress. We have adopted the plan of
having a large hose turned on them twice per
week, with strong men at the engine. They ap
pear well enough satisfied with the hath, hut can
not, even by the lash, which we are compelled to
employ freely, he made to observe any other sani
tary or decent habit. It requires a good large
crew of men to keep tbe spar deck, where they
are located, clean. When clothing was put on
them in Charleston, of which the negro slaves in
the city contributed several dray loads, they im
mediately tore it off and rolled in the sand and
basked in the sun.
I know but few cases in which they manifest
any sympathy for one another, except to help
scratch each other’s backs. They give no atten
tion or sympathy whatsoever to the sick or dying.
When one is dead, the body may lay there for
hours among them in immediate contact, yet un
noticed. Hut as soon as the soul has fled, they
steal the blanket of the deceased and most uncere
moniously proceed to appropriate his bread, spoon
and bag. During the process of burial, they nev
er manifest the slightest concern. A more stolid,
brutalized, pitiable set of beings I never be
held.
All of them take medicine without a word of
objection, yet whenever oue sickens he is almost
certain to die. We found them with scurvy,
diarrhma, and ophthalmia, and relieved very
much of Urn former aud latter. They now have
also catarrh, influenza, scurvy and chronic diar
rhea. We have given them all the aid that mo
ney liberally expended and directed by intelligent
Christian sympathies could dictate. Hut they are
a set of poor, miserable beings who will probably
soon relapse into their old state.

Messrs. Editors: In your weekly issue of the
22d ult., I see an article taken from the \ icks
burg, (Miss.,) True Southron beaded “Interesting
Scrap of History;” and as it seems to be going tbe
rounds of all tbe papers, I propose to correct a
few errors I find in the article. It is true, that
two brothers of Oliver Cromwell fled from Eng
land in 1074, to seek an asylum in the American
colonies ; hut not to New Jersey. They first sail
ed up the Chesapeake Bay, intending to settle in
’ the colony of Maryland. But the colonists fear
ing the anger of Charles 11., who had just ascend
ed the Throne, would not permit them to land, —
Then it was that they determined to change the
name to enable them to enter the colonies else
where. The family tradition is, that the m was
cut out and buried in the Chesapeake Bay.
They then sailed for Boston, Mass., where they
landed as ‘Crowell.’ One of the brothers remain
ed in Boston, and from his branch sprang the
Crowells that are to be found in New England and
the North-West. One of these, John Crowell, rep
resented the Cincinnati, (Ohio,) district in Con
gress a few years ago. Another now commands
one of the steamers plying between New York and
Savannah. The other moved South and final
ly settled in Halifax County, N. C. The Edward
Crowell mentioned in the article as having mar
ried a Miss Rabun, never came to Georgia, but
lived and died in North Carolina. He was grand
father to Henry Crowell my father, who came to
Georgia I think about 1804. He first lived in
Washington co.,butin 1820, moved to the then In
dian Agency on Flint river, afterwards Crawford
county, and had a plantation on the river, the on
ly one of the name that ever lived on Flint river,
except myself. In 1837, he moved to Fort Mitch
ell on the Chattahoochee river, where he died in
1810. Col. John Crowell, brother Henry, also
lived in Georgia for several years, but about 181(5
lie moved to Alabama and lived at St, Stephens
and Cahawba, and was elected to Congress from
this State being the first Representative from the
State. In 1819, I think, he was appointed Indian
Agent by President Munroe, which office he held
until the Agency expired by treaty limitations
under Gen. Jackson. He did Lave a magnificent
residence at Fort Mitchell (which was consumed
a few years ago by fire,) where he died in 1846. —
As to “the peculiarity of the family”—being
fond of peaceful quiet, far from political strife, of
which the writer speaks, I will leave with the his
torian of Georgia,
Yours truly

From the Daily Federal lmod.
Speech of Mr. Colquitt.
The question being a resolution to request
Judges Henning and McDonald to resign.
Mr. Colquitt said in substance: That he regret
ted the introduction of tho resolution offered by
the Sentator from Scriven, and was persuaded
that had he reflected upon it he would not have
presented it. It embraced two distinct proposi
tions which lie would briefly consider. Ist. That
the decision was not popular; 2d. That it was
wrong, and therefore the Judges should resign.—
With regard to the first charge in the bill of in
dictment, he asked, was the popular will to be a
criterion by which the Judges of the Supreme
Court were to regulate their decisions ? While he
regarded as highly as any one the voice of the
people, expressed in. a legitimate way and through
proper channels, be hail little respect for that
Judge who would vary his decisions to suit the
popular taste, which all knew was as fluctuating
as the tides ofthe sea. He scorned the idea that
Judges should bow before the despotism of public
opinion, as the Juggernaut before the wheels of
his master’s car, while sitting upon the rights and
liberties of the people. It was an unsafe guide
and would never lead the Judges to the harbor of
correct judgment and proper construction of the
law. But if the precedent was to be established—
if the popular pulse was to be the standard of
right decisions or wrong decisions, then let the
Judiciary department ofthe government be super
ceded by county meetings. Let its voice be heard
over that of Mansfield, Holt, Story and Marshall
—let tbe judiciary now seated on her mountain
throne, clothed in the white robes of purity and
innocence, be dragged down and made to wallow
in the valley of corruption, vice and passion. If
popular feeling was to be the test, try by it the
Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States. That decision was not popular,
and would meet the condemnation of the non
slavehokling States —that did not make it wrong.
That Court was sought now to he abolished by the
abolitionists, though Southern men regarded it as
the bulwark of their safety, the Mount Ararat
upon which the ark ofthe covenant could rest with
security. In common with others, he would de
fend it in the face of opposition and would not
only, like honest Ajax, throw a shield over it. but
would build a wall of brass around it.
He would not enlarge further upon this branch
of the question. He would consider the 2d, pro
position, viz: That the decision was not law—
Mr. Colquitt then quoted from the Constitution to
show that this part of the resolution was usurping
the prerogative of the judiciary : that it was inter
preting a decision and not saying what the law
should be; he drew a difference between the two
departments of the government and illustrated it
by showing that should the Legislature pass an
unconstitutional law, an act, for instance, suspend
ing the benefit of habeas corpus in times of peace,
the Legislature could not decide the question. If
so, the Constitution ceases to be a legal, and be
comes only a moral restraint upon the Legisla
ture : it becomes merely advisory in its character,
lie would not diseuss the question, whether the
decision was right or wrong, for the reasons he
had mentioned. If the Senate Chamber was to be
changed to a court room to interpret the law as
well as make it, he would be ready to argue the
question. Then every decision which was not pal
atable to the people would be the subject of dis
cussion at every session of the Legislature. He
would change himself the law in relation to the
recent decision, but had no authority to alter the
decision itself, even were it contrary to the com
mon law.
Mr. Colquitt then replied to the argument of
the Senator faom Scriven, showing the effect of
the resolution should it pass, and that it sought no
remedy. He pointed out the way the Constitu
tion required that Judges should be tried formal
feasance in office ; he said that Judges should be
impeached, if they had done wrong; he challenged
an investigation and did not fear the result. Al
ready the Senate hail gone so far as to entertain
this resolution: their hands were stained and
should the Judges be impeached iu the other
branch of tbe General Assembly, and tried in the
Senate, it would be found that the members had
‘formed and expressed an opinion,” and would
not be impartial jurors. The resolution should
never have been [introduced {here.
Mr. Colquitt then alluded to tbe character of j
Judges Benning and McDonald. TJie former he j
had known from his boyhood—he had been lion- j
oreil by the people as a worthy public servant, and
in the community where he Jiveil, he was regar
ded as the very soul of honesty and integrity.— J
As to Judge J/eDanald, his name was as familiar
as household words to the citizens of Georgia.—
He had been honored with a seat in the Legisla
ture; ho was elected Judge of the superior court
more than thirty years ago; he had filled the Ex
ecutive chair; he was the standard bearer of tbe
gallant little party in 1850 who fell, fighting for
their principles with the zeal of a religious con
viction; he had been the nominee of the Demo
cratic party for United States Senator, and the
escutcheon of his past life was without a blot. —
These are the men araigned by this resolution and
asked to resign without a hearing; without a vin
dication; without a voice in the Senate. He had
too much confidence in the Senate to believe that
they would pass the resolution.
He knew not what source othersmight take, but
as for himself, before he would ceusure those Jud
ges before he would vote for the resolution ask
ing them to resign for the reasons stated in it,
without a defence and a hearing, his “tongue
would cleave to the roof of his mouth and his arm
would forget its cunnihg.”
A correspondent of the Petersburg Express,
writing from Portsmouth, Ya., in relation to tbe
doings of the Conference of the Methodist Church
in session there, says :
There is in attendance at the present session, a
larger number of ministers than lias ever before
visited an annual Conference. Several ministers
from the North Carolina Conference, who by the
action ofthe late General Conference, were trans
ferred with the territory embraced in the Danville
district, will, doubtless, remain members of the
Yirginia Conference. These, together with some
who have hitherto occupied a local relation, but pro
pose now to re-enter the regular work, and those
received on trial considerably augment the numer
ical strength of the body, We shall also lose some
by transfer and otherwise. Altogether, the supply
will not be equal to ihc work in Virginia, and
some fields may lm-, o to go unsupplied.
The publish in ■; interests of tho Church will take
some considerable time of the Conference. Anew
plan of opera ions was recommended by the late
General Con! rence, but whether it will be en
dorsed here, remains to be seen. R. Abbey, tbe
Financial Secretary, has submitted a scheme for
establishing a Book Depository at Richmond, anil
for augmenting the capital of the concern at Nash
ville, which meets with opposition and muy be
defeated. A spirited discussion of the details of
the plan is at present going on. and promises to
be protracted. It is a grave question presented
to grave men, and will doubtless meet with grave
consideration.
What are called the Educational Interests of
the Church will also claim attention. Public
meetings will doubtless be held, and an effort
made to secure the amount now required to com
plete the SIOO,OOO endowment for Macon College.
I think some eight or ten thousand dollars ape
now needed,
Another Important Step in Science,
The Commonwealth Manufacturing Company,
of this city, have shown us anew amt very beau
tiful barometer, tlie invention of Mr, T. I|. Tim
ly, of this city, who has succeeded in rendering
this instrument perfectly portable, (which we be
lieve is tbe only one since the first conception of
the barometer by Torricelli, a pupil of the cele
brated Galileo more than two centuries ago,) and
to demonstrate the practicability of bis discovery
Mr. Timby made his barometer his travelling
companion in Europe, and finally expressed it from
Paris to New York, without the slightest injury.
This we regard as a practical demonstration of its
portability, and we bespeak for it a speedy and
universal adoption, especially among agricultu
rists, they more than any other class (save the
mariners), need the counsel of this faithful moni
tor which leaves nothing to conjecture, but tells
with promptness of the coming storm long before
a threatening is visible in the sky. We are told
that the above named company are now making
this, instrument upon a magnificent scale, and for
a price that places them within the reach of the
million. — Scien t ific Ain er ican,

Tlic l melted Atlantic,
The description given of Japan by some mem
bers of Lord Elgin’s suite rivals that of the en
chanted island in the Arabian Nights. “Nothing
can exceed the picturesque beauty of the bay of
Nagasaki, and the situation of the city at its ex
tremity. Swelling hills covered with verdure rise
from the water’s edge. The thatched roofs of
snug cottages peep from out the dense foliage amid
which they nestle. Precipitous walls of rock are
mirrored in the azure blue of the waters at their
base. The Japanese are courteous, affable, gen
tlemanlike, and good-natured, quite different from
the description our disinterested friends the Dutch
gave of them. Jeddo, the capital, is larger than
London, and contains 3,000,000 of people. The
leading street is ten miles long, and closely packed
with stuccoed houses. Here are the pallaces of
360 of the hereditary princes, each a sovereign in
his own dominions, but compelled to reside in the
capital for six months in the year. Some of the
mansions are made to hold 10*000 retainers ! The
palace of the secular king is surrounded by a tri
ple wall, and gives lodging to 40,000 people. The
streets are spacious, clean, and airy ; no dirt, no
smells, no street obstructions. In the country
every cottage, temple, and tea-house is surrounded
by gardens laid out in exquisite taste. Tea
houses are found in every shady nook or by plea
sant rivers. The tea is served by the ministra
tions offfair damsels, who glide rapidly and noise
lessly about, suspecting no indecorum and mean
ing none.”
Strange that we should have known so little of
this modern Atlantic, this beauteous isle set in a
silver sea? Stranger still that they should have
worked out so perfect anil yet so grotesque a spe
cies of civilization, like the devices on their own
were, odd anil startling, but minutely finished off.
Here we have two kings: one spiritual, who can
trace up his lineage for 2,500 years ; the other se
cular, who commands the forces, both dwelling in
the same city like brothers. The Japanese seem
to be the most impossible nation on earth ; what
ever they see they imitate —telescopes, aneroids,
steam engines, spy-glasses, <fce., and yet they have
hitherto locked themselves up within an impene
trable barrier.
They have, however, oue curious institution
which prevails to a slight degree among ourselves.
It is what they call “Nayboen,” or “make be
lieve.” It is as if a man disbelieves the evidence
of bis seuses, and acts accordingly. If a man
dies in debt he is supposed to lie alive, and his
family draw his income regularly to pay his eredi- -
tors. If a man commit suicide on being insulted,
he is not considered to be dead until some time
has elapsed, when he is said to have departed
from disease. So when Lord Elgin boldly dashed
into the prohibited precincts of that harbour of
Jeddo, after a little puzzled amazement, the Japa
nese authorities determined to practise “Nay
boon,” and believe he was somewhere else.
Among other branches of useful education
taught at the schools, the young patricians are
instructed in the forms and ceremonies of hari
kiri, i. e., of ripping one-self up. If a noble is
out of favor at court, if a superior insult him. if
he have committed an error in diplomacy, he in
vites all his friends to a grand banquet, and when
all are well fed and comfortable, he performs the
hari kiri gracefully before them. Ever since the
Americans obtained a footing in Japan this curi
ous ceremony has been performed. We hope Lord
Elgin’s treaty with this imperturbable nation will
not be celebrated by such extraordinary perform
ances.
Our exports to Japan, last year, amounted to
£2OO. Surely this wonderful people must have
something to export and something to import too.
They will not export any manufactured articles,
but they will readily import them. Our warm
wollens and stout cottons are just the thing for the
northern districts. We trust our manufacturers
are awake to this new market, and will not allow
themselves to be beaten, as they were in China,
by the Americans and Russians, even in our staple
manufactures.
Pay of Ministers.— The Attorney IGcnerai
has decided that Ministers Resident, <fcc., are not
entitled to any constructive allowance by way of
infit, but cau only be paid for the time necessarily
occupied in traveling from post ol duty to place
of residence. A Minister on leave, and at home
at the time of recall, is not paid for time occupied
‘n returning.
Hasty Marriages.— The New York Tribune
makes the following sensible remarks on the sub
jeet of hasty marriages;
“There is not a ciry, there is scarcely a town
ship. which does not number among its inhabi
| tants, women who have married on a very short
acquaintance, only to be abused, deserted, and left
a burden and a life long sorrow to the families in
which they were born and reared, and which they
most imprudently and improperly deserted to share
! the fortunes of relative strangers. If young la
dies would realize how grossly indelicate as well
as culpably reckless such marriages in the eyes of
the observing, they surely would forbear. A
year’s thorough acquaintance, with the most cir
cumstantial accounts, from disinterested and relia
ble witnesses, ofthe antecedents from childhood,
are the-very least guarantee which any woman
who realizes what marriage is, will require of a
stranger. Even then, if her parents are not fully
satisfied as well as herself she should still hesi
tate. Marriage is an undertaking in which no
delay can be so hazardous as uudue precipita
i tion.” _
From the State Press.
The Will of Ihc late D. Dempsey of Macon, Ga.
Messrs. Editors: —Having noticed in several
papers an absurd statement relative to the will
of my dear father, I am reluctantly compelled to
come out thus publicly to contradict the report,
which lam sorry to see has been published in
most of the Journals of the country, viz: That he
bequeathed nearly all of his property to the Ca
tholic Church at the solicitation of the Catholic
Priest of this city.
No man loved his family more than did my
dear father. Midst the snow forests of Canada,
and under the scorching summer sun of the South
he labored incessantly for more than 30 years for
the benefit of his family. Having been left an
orphan at a very early age in Ireland, his native
land, he commenced his mercantile career in that
country and was more than sixty years engaged
in active business. Fourteen times did he cross
I the Atlantic, and midst the storm of the ocean,
and perils by land, his heart and soul, next to bis
! duty to his Maker.jjwere “devoted to making his
family independent and above the cold charity
of the world.
As his clerk and partner in business, I well
knew the integrity, morality and honesty of his
character, and though not disposed to make much
public show of his piety, he loved the truly good
and pious. Though frequently exposed to the
insidious infidelity of the age, he was strong in
the faith of his blessed Saviour, and bis last mo
ments were calm and happy-grateful to his
Maker for his success in life, and fora long life
with scarce a day’s illness. He died in the full
profession of the Catholic faith, and received its
holy sacrament, and was attended by the pastor
of this city, Rev, J. Hassen, who informed me
his last days were peculiarly happy and peaceful,
and indicative of the reward which awaits the
faithful Christian,
Farewell, dear father, your approving smile
and your sympathising tear will no longer greet
us on earth; our best friend is no more! My dear
father had made his will some years previous to
his demise, and bequeathed all his property to his
family, without any public or religious donation,
and accompanying is the certificate of the Ordi
nary of our county:
Will those editors who published the report and
commented on it (and thus inadvertently probed the
bleeding wound of a sorrowing family) in vindica
tion of the memory of my dear father; also remove
the impression relative to the pastor of this city,
now absent on a mission in a neighboring State,
than whom a more amiable, kind anil talented
man exists notin the State—will they please pub
lish this statement for the sake of truth and jus

Wholesale Mail Robbery. —The Lexington

Georgk W. Henderson, of Pittsburgh, says:
‘‘After suffering for three months with Rheuiua
tim, a part of the time so severely as to confine
j me to my bed, I have been entirely cured by using
Boerhave’s Holland Bitters. I have had one at
tack since, but found almost instantaneous relief
in the same medicine. It is in my opinion, a sure
remedy for Rheumatism.”

think it is hardly known even to the
most intelligent of our readers, how deep some of
the sciences are looking down into the mysteries
of creation. We knew there were wonderful dis
coveries in these times, and wonderful uses made
of them, but did not know the Chemists were imi
tating in their crucibles and even surpassing the
most wonderful productions of organic life. Du
ring our visit to Lowell we were introduced by one
of their prominent citizens to the laboratory ol
Dr. Ayer, (inventor of CHERII Y PECTORAL
and CATHARTIC PILLS,) where we were
shown with generous frankness, his processes and
his products. This master genius of his art is man
ufacturing the subtle essences of flowers from tar
and other vegetable substances. His essence of
Pine Apple, Strawberry, Checkerberry, Quince,
Pear, Canella, Cinnamon &c., not only equal but
they exceed in purity of flavor, those vegetables
themselves. His oil of Winter-green is purer and
of better flavor than any that can be gathered from
the plant—and yet is made by chemical composi
tion from the Hydro-carbons in tar! His process
is, to analyze the substance and find the exact ul
timate atoms of which it is made, then recompose
them in the same proportions which exist in na
ture. — Christian Ad Locate.
WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
This Restorative for making the hair grow,
stopping its falling out, restoring gray hair to its
original color, is becoming more celebrated. All
the quack nostrums are giving way*before it.—
Three fourths of the mixtures for restoring and
beautifying the hair, do it more injury than good.
They burn it up, destroy the life at its rootspnake
the hair fall oft', and produce premature baldness.
But Prof. Wood’s Restorative may be relied upon
as containing nothing which can in any manner
be injurious to the hair, while its success in ac
complishing what it pretends to do, has been ver
ified in hundreds of cases. We advise gray heads
and heads getting bald, all who wish to save their
wool or obtain anew stock, to get a bottle of Prof.
Wood’s Hair Restorative.— N. Y. Democrat.
