ommon Schools—Education.
The Democratic party of this State having tri
umphed for many years at every election, and
having gained the confidence of the people, it is
natural that its enemies should not loose an op
portunity to detract from its well-merited popu
larity. it is to accomplish some political end
more than to give utterance to an honest indig
nation that has induced some of our American
cotemporarics in this State to condemn the re
cent action of a democratic legislature in regard
to its Common School policy. * The “pitiful,
“niggardly,” sum of one hundred thousand dol
lars has been appropriated for common School
purposes! What a “shrivcl-hearted policy!
Well, it may he from this exhibit of the liberality
of the legislature that Georgia should bow her
head” in shame, but when it is remembered that
this sum is in addition to what is raised in each
county a* heretofore, that it is just one hundred
thousand dollars more than any other Legislature
ever appropriated, we confess wo are satisfied with
the amount. For ourselves we were not the ad
vocates of so large an amount unless distributed
equally among the tax-paying eounties of the
State. The Legislature has done more for Com
mon Schools than the tax-paying people asked,
and especially those who pay hut little and prefer
the education of their own children or no educa
tion at all, than an intervention on the part of
the Government to force them to educate other
people's children. We do not intend by this ar
ticle to condemn the policy of educating the poor,
but simply to object to the common school system
as unequal, and to provo that in the face of all
difficulties, the Legislature was exceedingly liberal
with the people's money. For instance, wc take
the county of Fulton, as the Atlanta American is
indignant on account of the small amount appro
priated, and the county of Gilmer—the next in
alphabetical order in the Comptroller’s report —to
show the inequality. Fulton county pays $4,524
tax into the Treasury, and $2,331 to poor schools.
Gilmer county pays $757 —and noth'ny for Poor
Schools. Fulton draws $195 from the Treasury,
and Gilmer sf>2o for school purposes. Thus it will
be seen that Fulton pays from the tax imposed on
her citizens, six times as much money as Gilmer,
and yet draws from the Treasury nearly one-third
loss. This may be right but if it is, it is right to
take from one man money and give it to another
nolens colons. This wc do not conceive to be the
object of government. Its great end is to pass
laws for the protection of the rights, liberties and
properties of the people. If a tax is levied for
education, let it be done equally and ,above all,
distributed equally. So much for the one hundred
thousand dollars for School purposes and the
“niggardly” policy of the Democrats.
Operatic and Theatrical.
It gives ns much pleasure to inform our pleas
sure-loving community that the New Orleans
English Opera Company, under the management
of Mr. W. S. Lystcr, will begin an engagement of
twelve nights at Temperance llall in this city on
the 3d of January next, during which will be
represented many of the chief operas this company
lias reproduced in the principal cities of the Union
with distinguished success. Misses Durand and
Hodson, each of whom won golden opinions from
crowded audiences here last winter, are still con
nected with the company, and the favor with
which they were then received renders it superflu
ous for us to bespeak for them a generous re
ception on their second visit.
They will bo succeeded by Mr. W. 31 Fleming,
who, with his talented theatrical corps, to be in
creased. we learn, by the addition of a few “Stars”
of the first magnitude, will enter upon an engage
ment of a few nights at the same place, on the
24th of January. Of Mr. Fleming’s character as
a gentleman, we cheerfully bear the most positive
testimony. As an actor, we think that his tragic
impersonations are superior to any we have ever
seen, except by the acknowledged masters of the
dramatic art. Iu some of his characters, we do
not make even this exception. We shall extend
to him a cordial welcome, and hope that he may
muko his visit a successful one.
J/r. W. 11. Crisp, long and favorably known to
our community in the two-fold capacity of mana
ger and actor, will commence a series of theatrical
entertainments at Temperance Hall on the
7th of February next, lie has not visited our city
for several seasons, ami, hence, we do not know
the composition of the company or the nature of
their representations; but this, we do knew, that,
whether they bo presided over by the tragic or the
comic muse, they will, from the fact of the leader
ship of Mr. Crisp, present an amount of attraction
which will test the capacity of the house. At
least, we so hope.
Friday—Hanging of Hindi and Dozier on the same
hallows! Gallows well Arranged—Drop Doors—
Hinges on Sides—Cost $50.00.
On yesterday Hiuch and Dozier, suffered death
as the penalty for their respective crimes.
As the hour of execution approached, a large and
promiscuous crowd assembled around the Jail. The
prisoners appeared very much composed. After
exchanging parting words kindly and feelingly
with their friends, they entered two carriages—
Hineh iu one with Sheriff Brooks, Rev. Allen
Turner of the Methodist Conference, Rev. Dr.
Young and Marshall Hughes.
Dozier iu the other, with Rev. Miehael Culli
uan, Catholic Priest and Deputy Sheriff Lamar—
both carriages guarded by Columbus Guards un
der the command of Capt Semmes and City Light
Guards, Lieut. Weems, commanding. The pro
cession moved slowly to the place of execution,
without music.
Arrived at the Gallotcs.
Police —companies and officers of the Court of
Russell co. Ala., were admitted within the ropes.
The Priest, at the foot of the Gallows was en
gaged for a long time in prayer with Dozier, while
Hincb was conversing with Rev. Mr. Turner.
Hinch ascended the Gallows and made the fol
lowing remarks ;
“Ladies and Gentlemen :
Before God in whose presence I am shortly to
appearand on this serious and solemn occasion I
desire to state the truth of the unfortunate trans
action which has caused me to be a victim to
day.
Wc (naming the parties) were walking down
the street on the sabbath morning, I was never in
better humor in my life, our attention was arrest
ed by a jower between Stowers and McArdell —at
the suggestion of another I turned hack to sup
press it. Arriving at the place we found McAr
dell and Stowers engaged in a fight in which
Stowers was whipped and McArdell got off
him of his own accord —Stowers acknowl
edged being whipped and came to where I
i and Corcoran and his son, and Garrison were
standing, Tracy, the man whom unfortunately I
killed, came up with a knife in his right band and
struck Stowers twice with his left. I remarked
that he ought not to fight a man who was whipped
and had acknowledged it. Then Tracy made an
attack with his knife, approaching my direction.
Corcoran was standing between us, and drawing a
pistol, said, I will kill you if you attempt to cut
me. He did not attack Corcoran, but came on to
me with hiA knife drawn, and I seized a pistol from
Garrison and killed him,
If this be murder, I am guilty of murder; if
not, I aim not guilty.
Of the witnesses, I will not speak. The time
has been when I would revenge myself on them.
If they can justify their conduct before their God,
lain satisfied. I have to-day no ill-feeling or
malice against a human being in this country, and
lam endeavoring to die in peace with all man
kind. lam resigned to the will of t my God, but
lam not reconciled to the idea that I ought to be
hanged.”
After Hinch closed bis address, the Rev. Allen
Turner read a hymn and made an impressive dis
course —after which there was singing, in which a
good many participated, and then prayer.
Again the Priest knelt on the scaffold with
Dozier in prayer, Ac., for some time. Tho prison
ers then parted with officers and ministers and
priest, and were ready to depart. The Sheriff as
cended to adjust the ropes—when about to tie
Hindi's arms, he said—“you need’nt tie my arms,
I can die without it, aud I won’t move my hands.”
Dozier said to Deputy Sheriff, “he would be in
Heaven in a few moments. I feel just like it.”—
Dozier made no remarks aloud. Both professed
to have their sins forgiven and ready to launch
into eternity.
Hinch was dressed in black coat and pants,
white and glazed cap.
Dozier was dressed in white pants, grass linen
coat and boots. Both were remarkably cool and
collected during the time.
When the cap was tied on, by Hindi's request
tho Sheriff stated that he, Hinch, hoped no one
would interefere with his remains, but let them rest
in peace. Then, turning to Dozier, Hinch said,
my dear old fellow, how do you fed? the reply
was, very well ; so do I ; God bless you, farewell!
As the Sheriff left him, he commenced repeating,
•‘0 God, have mercy on me, aud take me into thy
keeping,” when the drop fell. This occurred at
twenty minutes befor 2 o’clock.
FOR THE TIMES.
New Orleans, Dec. 14th, 185S.
Dear Times: In politics, the engrossing subject
here, for some days past, has been Douglas. His
speech has been a grand panacea for all the ills
politic, and is but another example of the versa
tility, if not of the gullibility of the sovereigns.
He left yesterday morning on the Black Warrior
for Havana, where he expects to visit a few days.
His beautiful wife accompanies him. I could
vote for her with much more grace of mind and
ease of conscience than I could for him.
But politics here does not engross the public
mind. Amidst the ever changing aspects of
pleasure and business, that subject comes in only
as an occasional interlude. Although the late
epidemic has but just past, and its effects are
still to be seen and much more to be felt iu many
a family gathering, although there have been not
less than five thousand of the people of this city
laid in their graves, no one would suppose that
such had been the case to see now the busy mul
titudes, eager iu the pursuit of pleasure or intent
upon the transactions of business. The city is
thronged with a bus}’ hive of strangers. The
Hotels, from the St. Charles down, are all crowd
ed. Were it not for the occasional visitations of
epidemic diseases, there can be no doubt but that
this city would soon become the leading city of the
United States. Situated upon the mightiest
stream of the world, draining a vast extent of the
entire continent, an area in soil and climate un
surpassed, what but local causes is to prevent its
swelling into a magnificent cornucopia, a mart of
opulent commerce that should excite the admira
tion aud wonder of the world ?
There is much here to engage the attention of a
stranger. The enormous amount of produce de
livered upon the acres of levee, the shipping of a
world, the customs of tho people, the manners so
different from our rural ideas, the singularity of
the situation of the City, all, without speaking of
minor matters, arc enough to attract one’s obser
vation.
Particular objects, worthy of mention, are com
mon. The mammoth Custom House, occupying
one entire square, already consuming ten years in
its construction, and promising an equally long
period for its completion, will be, when finished,
the finest structure of the kind in the world.
The numerous magnificent Roman Cathedrals
arc more of a distinct feature of New Orleaus than
of any other American city.
Yesterday, however, I enjoyed more of a treat
than Romish priest could ever have offered. The
great aud good Bishop Pierce, on his way from
the Texas Conference to preside over that of Geor
gia. happened here. It was hurriedly auuouneed
that he would preach iu the Moreau Street Metho
dist Church, way down in the French quarter of
the city. I weut. The gracious outpouring of
God's spirit was felt in tho congregation, and we
were revived and refreshed.
Prof. Darby, of Ala., has been in the etty several
days, on business connected with his new disinfec
tant, I understand that he has had most gratify
ing success iu bringing it before the medical pro
fession here, and in introducing it into the Charity
Hospital and otherwise. It is gratifying to see
our own people succeeding among ourselves.
Prentice of the Louisville Journal, is to lecture
here to-night.
The Theatre and Opera are doing a fine busi
ness here this season. More anon,

steam frigate Niagara, which reached New York
on Saturday morning, after delivering the re-cap

an “receptacle.”
A New York exchange reports—
Seventy-one Africans died on the vogage, and
many of the remainder would have shared the
same fate, were it not for the excellent arrange
ments on the Niagara, humanely carried out by her
officers and crew. The President of Liberia, with
the members of his Cabinet, visited the ship, and
his government borrowed a quantity of powder
and other war munitions from her stores. Napo
leon’s “free emigration’’ system was carried out
with pertinacity on the coast, and his agents and
officers did not scruple to take free citizens of Li
beria, provided they eoidd induce them to go off.
Trouble was likely to ensue on the coast in con
sequence. Several American vessels were closely
watched by the British cruisers. The Niagara
exhibited splendid performance as a sailing vessel,
and the utmost order and discipline was kept up
on board, notwithstanding the peculiarly disa
greeable nature of the duty.

WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Among all preparations for the hair that have
been introduced as infallible, none has ever given
the satisfaction or gained the popularity that
Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative now has. His
Restorative has passed the ordeal of innumerable
fashionable toilets, and the ladies, wherever they
have tested it,pronounce it a peerless article. They
find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates a
fresh growth—that it fully restores the vegetative
powerof the roots ou the denuded places, and
causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis
solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness,
restores the hair to its original color when gray
ness has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre,
imparts the sofness and flexibility of silk to the
hair, and keeps it always luxuriant, healthy and
in full vigor.— Neic York Tribune.
