It ie said thatthe result of the examination is favprable to the accomplishment ot the undertaking. History or W. Tell,—W, Tell was a supposed myth, who livdd ’in the Sleuth century ; also, iff Switserland. e killed a man, named Gesler, for putting his hat on a pole, sot which circumstance he was called the “gather of Liberty.” Go thou and do likewise I Richmond County Superior Court. —ln this Court, yesterday, the case of the State vs. Daniel Farrar, horse steal ing, was tried ; Attorney General Jno. P. C. Whitehead and Jno. C. Black Esq., for the State ; Hons. A. H. Ste phens, Linton Stephens, and H. W. Hilliard, Esq., for the defence. The speeches on both sides were capital specimens of forensic eloquence; and and at a late hour the case was given to the jury. The jury in the case of Jim. Williams, Awed the day previous, had not yet agreed upon a verdict last night. Theatre Matinee. —At the request of numerous persons who cannot attend the night performance, Mi. Watkins has consented to give a Matinee this after noon at 3 o'clock. He has selected for this occasion the pleasing medley of “Two Hours in Fuuland,” and the won derful shadow pantomime, or a “Trip to the Moon,” a novelty that is now attrac' ting great applause throughout the country. To-night will be presented Mrs. South worth’s great drama of the “Hidden Hand,” which has been played by Mr. and Mrs. Watkins more than five hun dred nights in Europe and America. Shakspeake, Altered to Suit Cir cumstances. —The two respectable old dailies (so called) of this City exclaimed, practically, in the language of Shaks peare; “Help us! Cash, us! or we sink 1” and we helped ’em, cashed ’em, to the tune of SSOO apiece. What a pleasure it is that the People’s Organ should thus be able to sustain itself and give such a handsome contribution to its cotemporaries! It is not only a source of pleasure, but of pride ; but they must try and depend on themselves hereafter, for support; tor we can't af ford to be so generous every day. Recorder’s Court. —There were several eases on the docket of this Court, yesterday, but most of them were continued. The following were disposed of: A 16th section ease—leaving a cellar door open after sun down—was fined $1 and costs. A 12th section case—butchering a cow in the City —was fined $1 and costs. An 18th section case—fighting—was fined $3.50 and costs. A 20th section case —resisting an offi cer in the discharge of his duties—was fined $5 and costs. And the rest were continued. A Handsome Specimen of Typo graphy.—Having seen a notice in the Louisville (Ky.) Courier of a Counting Hou: e Calendar, beautifully gotten up we felt a curiosity to see it, and sent for a copy, which has been received. It is really a handsome specimen of the typographic art ; and we can well say, as a practical printer of twenty years’ experience, that we have never seen anything superior to it in«point of arrangement and execution. It cer tainly reflects great credit upon the Courier Job Printing Establishment, and particularly upon the Printer who got it up —Mr. Patrick Kelly, who, by tfie way, is “a native Georgian.” City Taxes. —We invite special at tention to the Tax Notice of the Clerk of Council, in this morning’s paper. Those who give in quarterly returns to the Assistant Collector should bear in mind that that does not relieve them from the necessity of calling at the Clerk’s office to make their other returns, if they have any to make, of course, such as bonds, money at interest, horses, car riages, buggies, hydrants,, capital of banks, brokets, gas,, insurance, and other companies located in the City, real estate, etc. If parties owning any property fail to make returns, within the time allowed by law, they are subject to be double taxed and fined $lO per day for each day of default. The Clerk is anxious to preserve the, tax-paying public from this trouble, and, therefore, earnestly invite# them, all to make their returns as soon as possible. Read the notice. The Weather. — Local incidents are dull, aavte the weather, which, for a few days, has been decidedly sharp. During the week it has ranged through nearly all degrees of the thermometer, running almost up to summer hriat, and then falling to the freezing point. It has been as fickle as a flirt—now warm and beautiful as sweet sixteen—now cold and chilly as the shady side of thirty. At. this stage of our reflections, a blithe canary by our window carols forth a song as cheery as though no winds were whistling round the gables, and we feel almost ashamed of our own sensi tiveness ts the freaks of the weather. If this Ijttle songster the tropics can stamj it, out there, in his cold, gloomy cage, why sh«iul4'lwe complain, with coal glowing in the grate, and the sooth ing wreath# of Nelson’s best curling from our meerebaom. So let those who are weatherwise, or otherwise, indulge no dread of future cold or heat, but learn a lesson of endurance and content from the blithsome bird, who sings’ alike amid thine and storm. AUGUSTA MARKET. Fridav, P. M. Jan. 18. COTTON—There was an active demand during most of the day, with an easier feel ing near the elose.

Hartley, eight miles from that city, a few days ago- They surrounded tke building and noti fied tho inmates not to open t|)e doors on pain of death, while they proceeded to ptunflof tfio smokcliouse. Mp. Hart ley loaded bis guns, with bncksbot, and on opening the door, received three shots, which did him little injury. He then jumped ioto the yard and exhausted his loads, when he went back, reloaded, and giving one gun to a negro, went out again. By this time the villains were rnnnitig' in confusion to • the boat landing near by, aad fucfceedjld in getting off. He found bis meat in bags about the yard, and missed nothing of value. The ground was freely marked with traces of blood. The thieves were all believed to be freed men. The brave and deliberate conduct of Mr. Hartley alone saved his provisions, and perhaps the lives of himsell and family. Heavy Men. —Daniel Lambert weigh ed 724 pounds and a fraction. A man recently died in New York, weighing 500 pounds. A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, alluding to the above, says , < , The largest man I ever saw was a gentleman who was postmaster many years ago at the Salines in Kanawha. His weight, I have heard, was consider ably over 500. I do not recollect bis name. He and the celebrated General Smith, of Kanawha, lived together. It was said that the General weighed 350, and his chum 200 more. In the olden time the tainous Jack Willis, of facetious memory, was thought by his friends in Richmond to be the largest man in Virginia until he met with Jack Spencer, of Amherst county, who weighed him and two 56’s down. Willis weighed upwards 0f.400. Spenser was an uncommonly active man, and the best jig dancer of his day. Capture and Escape of a Young Lady from the Comanche In dians. The Leavenworth Bulletin gives an account of the capture and escape of Miss Sarah Jane Luster from the Co manche Indians, which possesses much interest. She was living in Texas with a family named Babb. Some months aco, during the absence of Mr. Babb, a band ot No-con-ak Comanches came to the house. They were invited in by the children of Mrs. Babb, but refused un til satisfied that there were no men about the premises. Then they went in and attempted to carry off one cf the children. Mrs. Babb, inspired by a mother’s love for her children resisted, and clung to ber child with desperation ; whereupon, one of the savages went be hind, seized her by the hair, drew her back, a'nd cut her throat. This horrid deed was committed under the eye of Miss Luster, who had taken refuge in the upper part of the cabin, and so shocked her as to cause a groan of agony, thus leading to the discovery of her presence. She was immediately captured (leaving a sleep ing babe in tile caldn), and taken to the Indian camp. Miss Luster formed the heroic purpose of immediate escape from the horrors of her captivity. She soon discovered a horse of greal speed, kept for rminiug purposes by the In dians, and conceived a plan to mount it, and leave in a direction from which the Indians bad brought green corn, from a six days’ absence; thus showing a settlement within three days’ ride. Her preparation all complete, she was frustrated by the barking of dogs, and compelled to retire to her lodge. The second effort was made during a dark and stormy night, that drove both savages and dogs within doors. She could not take both the children, but the eldest, a boy, mounted the horse and left. The first day and night ex hausted the boy, and he was left to find his way back, or perish upon the road. After three days and nights ot continu ous riding, she becoming completely prostrated with fatigue and anxiety, tied the horse by a lariat to her ho ly, and laid down for rest;’she fell asleep, to awake a captive once more to the In dian : this time to the Kiowas. She was taken to the camp of her new cap tors, only ,to reorganize her plans of eseape, preterring death in an effort for liberty rather than life, in her horrid captivity. Once more she escaped with her.chosen steed, aud after days of weary travel arid nights of sleepless anxiety, reached the Santa Fe road, sixty miles east of Cow Creek, Col. Leavenworth’s headquarters. Her escape was imme diately reported by the Kiowas to the Colonel, and, at tbe same time, by a white man who had seen her at the rariehe. Col. Leavenworth immediately sent an escort, bringing her to Council Grove. Miss Luster, together with ao.other liberated captive, named Johu Charles Fremont Houston, are at Coun cil Grove now. The latter was captured by a small baud of Tau-a-gway Coroan ches, or liver eaters, and was rescued from them by Tab-a-nam-a ca, bead chief of one of the Yam-per-re-ker. or root eater#, and delivered by him to Col. Leavenworth. Important Law- An Act to make the employment of any servant whhtever during his term of service illegal, and declare the same a misdemeanor. Sec. 1.
