The Boundary Line Caae
We understand that the case of Howard
and Echols vs. S. M. Ikgersoll, in the Uni
ted States Sixth Circuit Court for this District,
which has been exciting so much interest for
the last week, was decided on Saturday. The
point involved wss, the true boundary line be
tween Georgia and Alnbuma, opposite Colum
bus, under the cession of Georgia to tho United
States in 1802, which declared thejine to be
“lying west of aline on the Western Bank of
the Chattahoochee River, und running up the
said River, and along the Western Bank there
of."
Tho Plaintiffs derived title through the Suite
of Georgia, and were entitled to recover danin-
ges for nil the fish traps erected by Defendant
within the limits of the State of Georgia ; they
claimed that those limits extended to the bluffs
or freshet water mark of the River; whilst the
defendant insisted that as Alabama owned the
Western bank of the river, the limits of last
mentioned State did not stop at the bluffs, but
extended to the middle of the river, according
fo common law principles, viz: thnt he who
owns the Bank of a rivor above the ebb and flow
of tide, (as was the cuso here.) owes to the
middle of tho stream. The defendant further
insisted,that if this ride did not apply to thetrea-
ty between the U. States, and Georgia still that
the word “bank" as applied to fresh water rivers
above the ebb and flow of tide meant the edge
or margin of the river at. its low water mark.
This last proposition the Court adopted, and
charged tho jury, tint the limits of Georgia
did not extend beyond the low water mark on
the western margin of the river: that it did
not reach to the bluff's ns contended for by the
Plaintiff's, and that, therefore, they could only
recover damages for the trespasses of defend
ant (who was the owner of land on tho Alaba
ma side) committed, east of low water mark, on
the western bank or margin of the river; that
the whole river was in Geotgia, but the rivor
correctly defined, was circumscribed within the
low water mark, i. e. on the western side.
The jury, in accordance with this charge of
the Court, gave the Plaintiffs six hundred dol
lars damages for tho tresspasses committed on
the eastern sida of the western bank, for
Plaintiffs,Messrs. Bartow, Law and Berries;
for the Defendant, Robt. M. Charlton, Esq.

■ Launch of the Florida. — Our corres
pondent, “Charlemuc.” in his letter of tho 10th
inst*—for the whole of which we cannot make
room to-day,says: “The first of the new steamers
for tho New York and Savannah line, will he
launched to-morrow morning, from the yard of
’IV. H. Webb. She is called the Florida, and
is a magnificent vessel of 1500 tons. The. ma
chinery is to bo furnished by the Novelty
Works,'and will be completed without delay.
She will not. commence her trips, however, be
fore the early part of July. Her consort is in
a atate of great forwardness, and will be ready
for launching, I should think, early in Juno.
She will bo fitted for sea with more despatch,
so as to form in the lino in regular order. The
keel of tho steamship for Howard’s New York
and Charleston line, is to be laid in the Flori
da’s place.
Athknkum. — The audience on Saturday
night, on the occasion of Miss Cushman’s ben
efit, was the largest, wo have evor seen in the
Atheneura. The performances went oil" admi
rably, and the strongth of tho company never
showed to better advantage.
Tho company left hero last night in the
stoamer for Charleston, where Miss Cushman
is to play a limited engagement. We under
stand that it is the intention of the managers to
re-npen the Atheneum in about three weeks,
when they will present the public with u series
of attractions. What they have done is the
best guaranty of what they will do.
The Webster Case.—We have been not a
little surprised at the course taken by several
respectable pupers, out of Boston, in relation
to this trial. •' Within the few days past, a sim
ultaneous rrovpment seems to have been made
in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Rich
mond, and other cities, not only to shake the
confidence of the public in the correctness ol
tho verdict rendered by the jury, hut also to
implicato Littlefield, whose misfortune it
was to bo the principal witness against the
condemned. An elaborate, and we think, more
ingenious than candid review of the testimony
in tho case, is now in course of publication in
tho New York Commercial, in which the wri
ter labors to crento the suspicion that Little
field is the guilty man. The Baltimore Clip
per contains an editorial in which the editor
endeavors to produce the same impression, hv
offsetting the whole train of positive and highly
corroborative testimony of all the respectable
witnesses for tho prosecution, with what, to his
nund, seems "strange and unsatisfactory" in the
statements of Littlefield. The Richmond
Republican, of about the same date, contains an
article of some two columns, in which the wri.
ter endeavors to throw the onus of suspicion
from Dr. Webster upon Littlefield. The
writer's illiberal feelings towards the latter, is
pluinly indicated in the following extract from
his article:
“But Littlefield," says he, “has no com
punction in the far more fearful havoc which he
is about to work. No one can have read his tes-
titminy without being struck with ttjo flippancy,
the self-conceit, the impertinence, the hcart-
lessness, tho unruffled complacency, with which
his blackguard spirit riots over the ruin of a
gentleman.”
Unfortunately, Littlefield is not a gentleman,
hut merely Janatur of the Boston Medical Col
lege, consequently his oath must not be tuken
against a Professor. It is easier to deny that
Prof. Webster murdered Dr. I’ahkman than
it is to deny thut the murder was committed.
A gentloman has unquestionably been mur
dered, and tlio poor “ blackguard” Little
field, or some one else, must bear the gui.t.
We confess we are surprised at the tone and
spirit of the articles alluded in.
It is well known that suspicions against this
man Littlefield, were bruited about previous
to the trial, and it is but r< asnnuhlo to suppose
that under these circumstances, his testimony
would have been well scrutinized by those who
had as deep an interest in the trial,and more urn-
pin opportunities tn arrive at a correct under
standing of tne matter, than is possessed by
these editors at a distance from the scene.
We have nettling to do with the guilt or in
nocence of either Webster or Littlefield.
nor would we, except in the line of official duty,
esume to decide between them and the law.
This matter has been left by the law of the
country, to tho decision of a legal tribunal. Men
under the solemnity of un oath, with all the'
attainable facts before them, have rendered
their verdict, and we think that it is recklessly
assuming a fearful responsibility, to attempt
now to go behind thut decision for the purpose
of shaking the public confidence in tile correct
ness of their verdict.
Popular prejudice or sympathy should have
nothing to do in such cases, or, if it most
interfere in the administration of the criminal
laws, there is a more proper way to defeat
justice, than tiiat of assailing courts, jurors and
Froin Hayti.
Captain Waid, of the brig Caryl, arrived at
New York on Wednesday from Aux Cuyes, has
furnished for publication the annexed account:
The British barque Euphrates, 330 tons, D.
McKenzie, master, was wrecked on ‘‘La hollo
Reef.” on the 27th ultimo. The authorities
sent off a guard of soldiers to prevent pilfering.
The general and captain of tho port wont on
board. The latter took tho blankets from the
seamen’s hammocks and very soon had his hat
and pockets filled with sundry little articles.
The two stole all the running rigging, 8 barrels
of beef, 2 of flour, cut the glass scuttles from
the side cabin doors, and carried oil paint and
oil, and every thing that was portable. Tliev
turned the crow out of the ship, and brought
on shore tho lower and topmast rigging, and
part of tho sails nnd some other articles.
Is it not time that some steps were taken to
civilize these blucksrascals 1 A few wholesome
lessons in the principles of common honesty
would be of service to the sable subjects of
the illustrious Emneror Soloque the 1st.
From Tobnsco nnil Lnguirn.
Capt. Miilikin.of the brig Louis Walsh, ar
rived at New York from Tabasco, which place
ho left on thp 14th of March, reports that no
American vessels are allowed to go up the riv
er, except to the city of Tabasco.
He also reports that the port of Lnguira was
closed ns a pert of entry on the 26th January.
All goods for Lnguira are to be landed at Oam-

From Rio Janeiro.
By an arrival at New Oi leans tho Picayune
is in receipt of dales from Rio Janeiro to the
1st March.
The Brazillian Parliament was in session. 1
The propositiosn of the Government in relation
to the 1 -Treasury, ns amended by a commission,
had been approved. The bounty on the buil
ding of Brazilian shins was removed.
The yellow fever was prevailing to a consid
erable extent at Rio; but its ravages were
principally confined to the strangers in the city
and to the shipping. We have before had an
account of tho providence of the yellow fever
at Pernambuco and Bahia; but ns Rio Jeneiro,
had always been free from it, no apprehension
was felt that the epidemic would manifest it
self at that point. These, hopes, however, have
proved falacious.
The ship of the line Ohio sailed from Rio
Janeiro for Boston on the 28th of February.
From Buenos Ayres.
The ship B. Ay man arrived at New York on
Wednesday, from Buenos Ayres, with advices
to the 11th of February. The Buenos Ayres
Packet of the 9th says that in the early
part of Jnnunry the Baron de Yuetiz, a cnlonel
in the imperial service, with a number of other
Brazilian officers, of different grades, at the
head of a force of 250 men, composed of ref
ugees and Rio Grande banditti, made an incur
sion into the Oriental territory for the purpose
of stealing cattle. Fortunately the Oriental
duthorilies were on the alert.
,, A letter from the Baron to another Brazilian
officer announcing the Vandali-i expedition,
having fallen into their hands, the marauders,
were tuken by surprise by the division of Col.
Lamas, and completely defeated, upward of 40
of their number being killed.
Their has been no change in commercial af
fairs, and business generally was dull.
Sir John Franklin.—Hope in the Late
Reports Destroyed..—Tho news foim the Arc
tic Expedition is not confirmed by official let
ters received by tho same route as thnt from
Mr. Randall. We learn from the Herald that
the British Consul in New York, A. Barclay,
Esq., received two letters on Saturday, by the
overland route, one from Dr. ltae, duted Mc
Kenzie’s River, thirty miles below Fort Supe
rior, September 26th, 1349, enclosing despatch
es to tho Consul’s caro.Trotn Sir John Rich
ardson, for the Admiralty; the other from Mr.
John Ballendcr, Chi. f Factor Hudson’s Bay
Company, dated February lGth 1850 ; tho des
patch having the post mark of Fort Sniffling,
Minnesota, March 10th. Tho letter of Dr.
Rif, says:
It is the desiro of Sir John Richardson, who
commanded tlio recent overland s.-arching ex
pedition, that I enclose to your address t e ac
companying despatch; with an humble r* quest
tiiat it be forwarded to England without h ss
of time. I may mention that it contains a short
account of my summer’s visit to the Arctic Sea
via the Copper Mine river, which has proved
quite unsuccessful, the great quantities of the
ice preventing us from getting to Washington's
La ditig Island. John Kae.
The letter from Sir John Ballendcr to the
British Consul, also covering dispatches for the
Admiralty,from Lieut Puilon, H. M. brigThi-
ver ; and Dr. Rea, concluded as follows:
I regret exceedingly to inform you that nl
tliuugli tho Northern coast of America 1ms
his season been explored by Commander
Moore, of the brig Plover, front Behring
Straits to Wenring Inlet ; by Lieutenant Pulle
Irotn thenc ■ to the mouth of the McKenzie
river; by Dr. Rae, considerably east ot the
Copper mines, yet neither of these have see:
or heard any thing of Sir John Franklin a id
pat ty. I sincerely trust that some of the par
ties a tempting to penetrate the Arctic Orea
from tiro eastward, have been more stv-cesslul.

New Churches in Augusta.—The Consti
tutionalist says :—We are pleased to learn that
arrangements are in progress to erect two new
and handsome Churches in the upper part of
the city. One a Presbyterian Church, on the
south-west corner of Green and K.dlnck street
—alio other an Episcopal Church, corner of
K dlook mid Teltair street. The former bv
general subscription of our citizens—the latter
by the liberality of a public spirited citizen. We
understand that the pews will be free.
These edifices w 11 contribute much to the
improvement and to the enhancement of the
value of property in that portion of the city

Boston, April, 9.
Dr. Beeclier lias given an uutuentic stao.
moot in reference to the student story. (U

Health of St. Louis.—The mortality in
St. Louis is one-third less in the first three
months of this year tlmn it was the same
months lust year. Lust year, at this time, the
cholera was an epidemic in St Louis, but there
does not appear to be a single case there at
ttiis day.
Fugitive Slaves.—The Pennsylvania House
ot' Representatives, by a vote of 50 to 29 ; has
passed a bill repealing certain objectionable
sections of the law of 1847 to prevent the re
covery of fugitive slaves We rejoice at this
‘sober second thought’ of the Legislature of that
State, as it is calculated to allay much of (be
irritation of the slave States.

lias been done in this instance. Let those who
arrogate to themselves the control of the affairs
of human society, and w ho desire to assume the
responsibilities imposed upon judges, jurors,
and Executive officers, netition, as they ate
now doing in the northern cities, for the life o
Prof. Webster. But there let them cease
their benevolent exertions. It is enough to
save ono victim without sacrificing another.
For our own part we ngree with Carlyle in
his condemnation of that, “general morbid
sympathy, instead of hearty hatred for scoun
drels, which is threat • ning to drown human
society as in deluges.” It may, indeed, he truly-
questioned if the interference of what, in these
days, is called “humanitarianism" with the
course of human justice, was ever productive of
good.
Abolition Agitation.—Mr. Seward, o
New York, on Monday last, presented a peti- I
tioti in the Senate, praying that the seaves of
the Southern States be an oiled in the Militia
of the country, and armed, ,$-c. On Wednes
day, Mr. Hale presented, in the sprite body,
no less tlmn forty petitions, praying for the pro-
prohibition of slavery, etc. These shameful
proceedings call' d up Mr. Ci.ay, who chniac-
terized the conduct of the Honorable Senators,
us it deserves, and very emphatically warned
the Senate and the country against incendiary
petitions, end said that Mr. Hale was mounting
the back, not of tbe horse, but tho negro, to
ride into power.
At the conclusion of Mr. Clay’s remarks
the galleries and other parts of the Senate
chamber manifested their applause by loud
clapping of hands, which, however, was prompt
ly suppressed.

First Presbyterian Church, this evening. The
Augusta Constitutionalist noticing the success
ful efforts of Mr. Hewlett in thatcity thus
speaks of him.
Ho is a natural orator, a great mimic, fid! of
anecdote and umuscing illustrations, a shrewd
man, und an observant one—sings a good song
—has seen the world and made good use of his
opportunities- Even tho b’hoys here who
heard him. conculded he was “one of ’em” in
all but the drinking, for he can entertain any
sort of a crowd. We have not heard Gough,
but we should think Mr. Hewlett is not far be
hind him.
The ladies, too, seemed highly to relish' his
ra -y and humorous style, while nil were im
pressed with his zeal, his tact, and his stiong
common sense in pleading a good cause.

Sr. Louis, April 9.
Mr. Joseph Ellis, a party of seventeen em
igrants. and ten emigrants, reached h'o-e yes
terday afternoon from the Plains. They left
Santa Fe on the 5th of March. Business was
turn very dull. Much consternation prevailed
among the inhabitants, on account of the hos
tilities of the different Indian tribes. Murders
and robnries were almost of daily occurrence.
Tito child of Mrs. White (who was sometime
since murdered by the Indians,) and the negro
servant girl,are still alive, though in captivity.
Some Indians brought m a report to the ef-
feetthat Major Fitzpatrick was at Big Limber-
ry, on the Arkansas river, endeavoring to lot-m
a treaty with the hostile Indians. It was
thought that he would succeed i .getting a dep
utation of Cmnanchees, Kiowas und Arruhoes
to accompany him to Washington.
The America- g ffd miners, near Santa Fe, are
doing well. They average about $15 perdav.
and would do much better it it was not for a
scat city of water.
Many of the emigrants who took the gold
route to California are returning tn Smta Fe.

The Webster Family.— The Student
Story, i)’C.—Mrs. Webster has petitioned Gov
ernor Briggs, for a change of tho sentence
of death against her husband. She asked but
a commutation of ihe death penalty to impris
onment for life, hoping no doubt, with the con
fidence of a woman, that so long as .there is life,
there is hope of releuse. Of this petition, the
Atlas remarks:
“We have no doubt that the case of Dr. Web
ster will receive ail due attention from the State
officers,and that the same degree of impartiality
and uprigntness, which has hitherto ripen ex
ercised towards tho prisoner, will continue to
influence those who snail he called to official ac
tion respecting his situation.”
The Boston Courier lias the following as to
Professor Webster:
“This unfortunate man, so far as external ap
pearances indicate, has become reconciled to
lit-; fate.—His demeanor is that of a person en
deavoring to solve smno great pc bletr.—ealnt
ami thoughtful; heroa Is much, and has recourse
to many books and newspapers. His family
visit him almost daily. They bear the terrible
trial which has come upon them with submis
sion, patience and a Christian fortitude, the
furthest possible removed from that despairing
anguish which produces insauiiy.”
Of the “Student Story.” as to seeing Dr.
Webster bending over the body, the Boston
Muil says :
“It has been thoroughly followed up at tbe
common wealth’s expense. The story was
started before the remains of Dr. Parkirmn
were discovered, and originated in an off’ ha oi,
inconsiderate expression, made by a medical
student, on hearing that Dr. Pnrkman was
missing. The yung gentleman, Mr. Hodges,
is the last person in the world who could hon
estly be accused of surrendering to either
threats or entreaties, where they conflicted
with his duty as a good citizen and hmicrab.e
man. Heisthnsoa of the Rev. Mr. Hodges,
Librarian of Harvard Univer-ity. ’
Alluding to this story, the Boston correspon
dent of the New York Herald, says—
1 wish it to he distinctly understood, that I
do not vouch for all the minute details of my
story about a “medical student,” hut I do as
sert that the main fact, that some one whether a
student or not, did discover Webster in the po
sition described, is true. Time will show it to
he so.”
The same writer, speaking of the complaints
against Webster's counsel, says:
“Webster was under the influence of opium
a large portion of the rime. In their private
interviews. Webster would admit nothing and
deny little.”
As to the anonymous “Civis” letter received
whilst Webster was in prison, he says tho en
velope had a perforation through it identical
with that upon others given him hy tho jailor
—and through the whole of which that officer
hail iun a pin.
Capture of a Slaver.—Capt. Gordon of tlio
ship Memnon, at N. York from Canton, states
that on the 4th of March, ofl'St. Helena, he spoke

morant, havine been taken by that steamer off
Rio, on the suspicion of being a slaver! l'lio
captain of the bark, and one of the crew, wore
o.i board, and would be tried at St. Helena.
The officer in command stated thnt the bark
"St said to have been funnel!y an Ainerifim

taken, an American.
The New Bine of California Steamers -
—The new California steam ship company,
the agents of which are noticed as being pa>-
senge-s by the Oregon, it is intended slta.l
have a capital of $1,1)09,000. Of this $900,
000 was subscribed in San Francisco and Sacia-
monto City, in two weeks, and $200,000 if
tbe stock had previously been taken in New
York. It is the intention of the company tn
purchase four steam ships, ot two thousand
tons each, or if that is found lobe impractica
ble, to have them built immediately. As soon
as practicable they will be sent round to the
Pacific, and will ply in connection with the At
lantic line of J. Howard & Son, ot this City.
