from Wheelln himself.
While attending Ohnroh at this place—a distance
of three miles from Mr. Davies plantation, where
Wheelln usually resided, ho was taken slok. Find
ing himself approaching the grave, Wheelln request-
ed his master to go to the plantation, to opon and
search a certain box or chest, and be would there
find a memorandum book and about fifteen dollars,
which he wlsbod brought to him. Wo have tho book

placed m the hands of his Master by Wheelln with
all necessary explanations and directions. The book,
in the band-writing,as it Is belioved. of Rev. B.J.
Meynardie, shows that a Colored Missionary Society
was organised in the Yorkville Methodist Charge on
the 6th of January, 1862, and Wheelln appointed
Treasurer. During the year 1862, the sum or eighty
dollars and twenty-seven cents was received by tho

discharge his whole duty, might be swelled almost to
a volume. Does it not convey a lesson to ns blessed

A Hogs Anatomical Demonstration*
A Dr. Cartwright, of New Orleans, amuses himself
with the anatomical dissection of alligators, his ob
ject being, as he alleges, tbo demonstration of certAin
new physiological views that he entertains. On a
rooent occasion bo cat up three of these monsters in
the presence of a large number of scientific gentlemen
with the following results, according to a reporter s
•« He divided the spinal marrow in three places—at
the base of the neck. in tho middle, and at the base of
the back ; nay, he divided the nerves emerging from
the spine—and still, on irritating tho nerve between
theseotlonandtheextremity.be demonstrated that
the animal possessed a diffused sensibility, a capacity
to recognise pain, and even an intelligent power to
act against, or attempt to escape the cause of tho
S ain. Cutting off the bead of the animal, jobbing ont
le spinal marrow, dividing the nerves coming rrom
them and irritating them! along their distal porticos,
they still retained this dependent sensibility, and the
mutilated limbs of tho headless animal would make
Intelligent motions forgetting rid of the local torture.
These are curious Important discoveries.
“Dr.Cartwright contends, against long odds, it 1s
true, that in the lungs, not in tne heart, resides the
motive power of the circulation; that literally, as
Moses asserted, the blood is the lire of tho flesh, and
the air the life of the blood. He affirms that after

nozzle being inserted into the trachea, inflation was

the motionless heart throb, the blood beginning to

his carotid artery accidentally cut, thereby losing a
considerable quantity of blood, and hence it was not

At a short distance from the city of Boston, tfaoro
Is now living a white-haired veteran, a soldier of tho
Revolutionary war, who Is ninety nine years of age-
one in whom the Are of patriotism still burns as
brightly as it did of voro—and whose eye still sparkles
with the vivacity or youth when he relates the events
of thoso days 4 that tried men’s souls.’ Among the
names of those he delighted to honor, was that of
Gin. Jaokson. That man bo greatly reverenced; he
admired the man for bis heroism, and honored him
for devotion to his country. About the time when
Jackson was elected to the Presidency, a party of
men belonging to the town In which bo resided (they
were whim of oourse) made an effigy of Gen. Jack-
son, and to gratify the malice or their hearts towards
him, and the party by whom he was eleoted, they
hung the effigy on a public place called * The Green.'
A guard of eight men with loaded guns were station
ed near to protect the image and the men who were
thus endeavoring to dishonor tho name of General
Jackson.
The oldsoldier, at that time more than sevonty years
Of age, was Informed of what was going on, and of
the threats that were made to shoot any man that
should attempt to cat down the image. Fired with
Indignation at the injury offered to Jackson, be shoul
dered his axe and went ont notwithstanding the re
monstrances of bis family who trembled for bis safe
ty, accompanied only by his youngest son, who would
not let his father go alone on such a dangerous expe
dition. The firmness of his step—the determination
whioh his whole demeanor expressed—his well known
attachment to his country and to its noble defenders,
conspired to speak out bis purpose, and the axo on
bis shoulder needed no comment as be marohed bold
ly np to the mock gallows,
“Haiti” shouted the guard, “ ad van oe another
step and yon are a dead man l ” and they leveled their
weapons, pointing them directly at the old veteran.
“ Fire, if yoo will," said ho, “ I’U out It down if I
die for it.’’ 1
And down it went—not only down but hewed-up
Into fragments by the hand or the old soldior. The
guard wore perfectly astonished—thoy were awed by
the boldness of that aged man with his white hair
streaming In the wind as be bent to the task, and
they could not harm—bat they quailed before the fire
of bis eye, as he boldly marohed off in triumph be
fore them—they bad not expected an attaok from

’The Editor of toe Republican grows froetloua over
the anomalous position or toe Democratic party of
thU Oongreeslonal Dlptriot. Well—" laugh while you
may” 1» a good motto-and we do not blame our
neighbor tor praotidng upon It at the present time.
For, unleu the ilgne are frllaoloua, hU laughter will
be very ghastly grinning betore two moons have
waxed and waned. We wager a aixponce that the
Holmeeville Union Convention will not nominate toe
JhpuWicawU favorite, Mr. Ba»tow—maugw all the
efibrts, by extensive oorreapondenoe from this city, to
get up a “spontaneous combustion " tor hU benefit.
The Union Convention, whioh our neighbor adver
tises for the 2lit of thU month, la bat an adjourned
meeting of one held on the 16th ultimo. Has the Re
publican not yet learned who was the favorite of six
Of the seven delegations in attendance at tho first
meeting T and that Thomas Telfair Long would
have been then nominated but for hla earnest solicit
ation that final notion should bo postponed, with a
view to assembling a larger Convention on the 21st
Instt? Does any ono believe that Mr. Long's mag
nanimous forbearance in declining to receive a nomi
nation, unless offered to him by a Convention fully
representing top Union party of the District, will be
likely to lessen his chanoes when such a Convention
shall assemble? Or does the Republican’s editors
think to stlflo the preference of that gentleman's
friends, by reraslng to publish any account of their
action in his favor? The scurvy manner in which
thoy have treated him, is the best ovldencotoat they
fear him. And yet they are shedding (crockodile)
tears over toe Demooratio nomination of gentlemen
formerly members of the Southern Rights party in
two Districts, to the exclusion of Union Democrats.
If the Republican would escape tho chargo of hypoc
risy, let it now sustain Col. Long, a Union Demo
crat, who dpslres to maintain tho Integrity of tbo
Union party. No. It will do no such thing, until
driven to it by the action of the Union Convention,
We call toe attontlon of the publio, and the press
in other Districts, to the position of tho Savannah
organ of the.Union party. Its editors are for the
Union, for the Union party, and for tho Georgia plat
form above all things else. They are greatly exor
cised In their sympathies for Union Democrats—yet
when one of them, determined to ran only as a Union
man—If ho runs at all—Is presented for office by hla
Union friends, the Republican does not even treat
him with common courtesy. It Is willing to take Mr.
Bartow, dr Dr. Guyton—and we know not whom
olse—anybody, we suppose, but Mr. Lonq. lie la a
Union Democrat, and, of coarse, Is to be ruled off
the track.
The Atlanta Bank.
The charter for an institution, as above named, was
granted by the legislature of this Stato at its last ses
sion. The stock subscription books were not opened
until more than a year afterwards, and when opened
all bnt ten shares were taken by Gkoroe Smith A
Co., of Chicago, Illinois. According to recent pub
lished statements, founded, we believe, upon admis
sions and statements made by Mr. Hiooinson, the
nominal President, it appears not one of the Board of
Directors Is a resident of Atlanta—neither were the
President and Cashier residents of that place, or even
known there, when’tho bank was said to have gone
into operation. The first Issues of tho bills were mado
at Chicago, and other points in the north-west, boforo
toe nominal officers of the Bank had even made their
appearanco in Atlanta. The President, Mr. Higoin-
son, owns one share of the Block, and nine shares are
distributed among tho Board of Directors, (I), while
Smith & Co. own tho remainder, which, of course,
gives them the control of tho President, Cashier,
Board of Directors, and all others in anywise con
nected with the concern.
A simple statement of the facts relative to the cre
ation and management of the Bank, Is all that is
necessary fbr the pnblio. If they please to credit its
promises to pay, after a full knowledge of toe basis
upon which it stands, according to tho admissions of
Its President, of course, they have a perfect right to
do so. For aught we know to the contrary, tho firm
of Gkorgr Smith & Co. may be perfectly responsible
for the issues of this Bank, and may uso its charter
for entirely legitimate purposes; and then again, for

selves and defraud the bill holders. Tho public must
Judge for themselves.
Under a full knowledge of tho facts relative to the
establishment of too Atlanta Bank, and tho charac
ter and responsibility of George Smith & Co., tho
people of Wisconsin are rejecting tho circulation of
the hills—they say they are without adequate securi
ty for their redemption 5 and while tbo banking laws
of their own Stato afford them a sound circulating
medium, they will not receive tho bills of foreign
banks that moke their issues on a less secure basis.
If the people of Wisconsin refuso to receive tho bills
of this bank, knowing the character and responsibili
ty of thoso who own almost ita entire stock, and who
have the complete control of Us affairs, can It bo ex
pected that tho people of Georgia shall regard Its
issues more favorably?
Ths Daily Wisconsin, published at Milwaukle, for
Us disinterested and fearless treatment of this «ub-
ject, seems to have fallen under the displeasure of
Messrs. Smith A Company, who have resorted to the
Courts to endeavor to stop its mouth. How tho war
fare will end remains to be seen. As in duty bound,
the Daily Wisconsin defends the banking laws of its
own State, as being safe and ample for the protection
and accommodation of the business interests of toe
people of the north-west; and, in addition to the sus
picions naturally arising against the Atlanta Bank
from tho manner of its establishment, and tho putting
into circulation of its issues by the two agencies of
Chicago and Milwaukle, acting as mother Banks,
while Its circulation at homo Is a more triflo, It ob
jects to the circulation of its bills in Wisconsin on the
ground that thereby the State would be defrauded
out of a large portion of tho taxes levied upon bonk
ing capital.
Relativo to toe responsibility of George Smith A
Company, the Daily Wisconsin Bays it has boen
compelled to scrutinize the large stories set afloat by
Smith’s trumpeters, of his immense wealth, in order
to give the Atlanta a circulation. Tho conclusions
it has come to and freely expresses, are, that bis va
rious shifts to evade tho laws! continued through a Be
rios of years, show that his situatiou is precarious,
and that if all tho lmmonse circulation or tho various
paper banks which he has sot afloat ahould corao in
at once, that he could not redeem the entire amount.
To the people of Georgia it most prove a matter
of regret that the affairs of this Bank are under tho
control of foreign parties under suspicion. While
this Is the case of course Its bills conuot find circula
tion here where we are blessed with well-managed
banks, founded upon large and undoubted capitals.—
Whatever may bo the fate of the Atlanta Bank the
people of Georgia take this early occasion to wash
their hands of all responsibility os to Its man
agement. Whatever credit toe firm of George W.
Smith & Company, of Chicago, Illinois, con give it,
it Is entitled to, and in onr opinion no more.

Irregularity of the Malls.
Tallahas8EE, Jnno 27,1863.
Editors Georgian:
Your papers are very irregularly received by your
subscribers here, and many of them, in conaoqnenco,
avajv their intention of stopping it. What is toe
cause of this failure ? The Republican, I learn, Is
quite regular in its arrival, bnt the Georgian misses
about ever other time. Is not yonr Tallahassee mall
mado up into two packages by your clerks ? I ask
this question thinking an answer in tho affirmative
may solve a mystery conneoted with the receipt of
the Georgian here, as I learn upon Inquiry that the
Floridian receives It* exchange quite regularly, while
yoor subscribers or a portion of them get nothings—
It is known to us here that it le the practice of the
etage between this city and Oglethorpe to bring just
so much of tbo mail as suits their convenience.—
Hence, if the stage is fall, or the roads a little bad, or
some one wishes to send a little freight, off goes a
bag or bags of papers. When this happens, (and It
does happen nearly every mall,) if your two packages
should be in separate bags, and one of the bage has
boen pitched off by the road side, or loft at some,sta
ble, of conrsoonly a portion of your subscribers will
get their papers—and this may solve the mystery,
What say yon? Every body knowa the fault is not
yean, but there is fruit somewhere. Will you aid us
in ferreting it out ? Call on tho Postmaster General.
Urge him to give us an agent to trail up thesd out
rageous failures, and if he will do it, you shall have
leave to 11 write me down au ass," as honest Dogber
ry said, if it is not shown that the publio Interest ha«
beqn made subservient to the oupldlly of the cofir
tractor oa th* Northern route; wbpse ®ractioes, or bis
sgtat’i, I have referred to AbdVs. ’
This morning’s m»Q brings 01 ibc $tpublican and
would call the attontlon ofthomall contract
ora :on the route from Maton to Tallahassee to the
foregoing statement. • ••
And, we must say farther, constrained m wo are
by too repeated ootpplalnto which we have reooirod,
that tha mall Irregularities onto* line above designa
ted urgently domand consideration from the Post
master General. A remedy ahould be found for them,
or else the Government ahould frankly oonfrss Its In
ability to do tbo mall service of the oountry, and
transfer It to private buds. Time ud again during
Mr. FiLLMonB’a administration, the head of the Post
Office Department was Invited and entreated to di
rect hla attention to this mattor—but in «afn. The
evil remained the same—ud still so remains. Will
not Mr. Oamprbll signalize the firat yoar of hla term
or office by working a ohuge? We. will hope so.
In reply to the inquiry of onr correspondent we
wonld say that the usage of our mail clerk has been,
and be surmises, to make two paokages of onr papers
for Tellabassee—their number making it Inconve
nient to enclose them all in one. Hereafter, howev
er, onr arrangements shall be to have them all in a
single package. But In that case what Is to prevent
them all from “going by the board?" The larger
the package the greater temptation to get relieved \
from it. Hence it Is, donbtlesa, if onr correspondent's j
conjeoturoa are well founded, that onr packages, I
which are larger, are less by the way side, while |
those from other offices whioh are small and take up
less room, are suffered to go through. It is too bad
that our subscribers should bo made to Buffer because
of their number.
Iu relation to tho mall olerk whom wo havo em
ployed nearly the whole of soveral post years, and
when these complaints of snbscribers were loudest
and moat frequent, we must Bay both la jastlca to
him and to ourAelves that one more faithful and relia-'
bio we have nover known.
Muonlo Celebrations.
Bt. John’s Day (tho 24th) was very generally ob
served by the Maaoulo fraternity throughout tho
country. In Concord, N. H., tho day was celobrated
for tho first tlrno during tho past twenty-five years.
We learn from tho Patriot that nearly three hundred
of the fraternity turned ont, embracing many of the
most distinguished citizons of New Hampshire aud
adjoining States, among whom were His Excellency
Gov. Martin, Ex-Qov. Harvey, Gen. Israel Hunt,
Dr. Wm. Prescott, Hon. Andrew Pierce, and oth
ers. Tho church in which the services were held was
filled to overflowing. An oration and poem waa de
livered on the occasion, which are spoken of as high
ly meritorious—not only for their moral tone, but as
literary productions. Ab a specimen of tho former, wo
subjoin one or two of its concluding paragraphs:

Murder.
A letter from the Rev. Richardson Graham, the
Episcopal clergyman at Wiitown, in this State, dated
at thobtono Mountain, in Georgia, on the 25th Inst.,
announces tho doath, on that day, of a brother of Mr.
Graham, who resided at the last named village, and
who had received a wound on his head from some
heavy iustruraent, supposed to bo on axe. The assas
sin, it wonld appear, entered his room in the darkness
of tho night, on Thursday, the 16th Inst., and struck
him on the head neur the right car—no one seems to
have been present, or to have known how, or exactly

posed to have been the object of the murderer. Mr.
Graham had been blind for years. In another letter
from the reverend gentleman, received by last even
ing’s mall, and dated at Decatur, Ga., on the 28th

of my dear brother, and he is now safely lodged in

The Weather and the Crops.—The drought still
continues and becomes more and more distressing
and alarming. Nearly all the early plantings of corn
are about spent, so much so that all the rain that can
come will ao them bnt little good. Tho only remain- 1
ing hope now is the late plantings and new grounds,
and these are so stunned that any thing like a fair
yield is out of tho question. Accidental showers in
two small settlements within our acquaintance, in
cluding perhaps a half dozen farms each, will enable
the planters in those favored spots to make perhaps
three-fonrtbs of an average crop. The balance of this
region are making nothing, and but for the fine wheat
crop gathered this season onr pooplo wonld undoubt
edly suffer and that acverety.—QrUJtn Unton, 30th

Names of Newspapers.
Tho number of newspapers now printed in this
country—not including monthly magazines—is, ac
cording to a statement in tho Philadelphia Register,
about 8,500, and there is a remarkable sameness in
their names. The Inquirers, Advertisers, Tran
scripts, Mirrors, Advocates, Recorders, Chronicles,
Republicans, Whigs, Palladiums, Tribunes, Heralds,
Patriots, Observers, Messengers, Journals, Couriers.
Sentinels, Reporters, Registers, Mercnrys, Flags and
Banuors, constitute about two-thirds of the whole.—
Besides tho above, there are ono hundred sixty-seven
Democrats, and one hundred and twenty-nine Ga
zettes.
As an oflsot to this, we may notice a few of too

which they affected towards the foreign powers,
brought on tho humiliating condition in whicn Mexi

“These reflections forcibly remind na of tbo happy
epoch, when the Mexican soil waa profaned by for

the mast outrageous violation of the right of nations.

It was becauso wc had made so little of tho friendship

The Universal then goes on to show the different

ferent situation. Disunion, selfishness and weakness,
which aro tha consequences of the fatal Bystem which
goterns us, and tho cause of all our present evils,
would no longer bo an ally to our foes.
“ At present, the invaders wonld have to contend
with nubile spirit, raised by a wise and prudent poll-

West Highlands to make arrangements among her
friends for her marriage with the poet, and on her
return to Greenock—whore it was appointed they
should meet—she was seized with fever, of which she
died, a few days before Burns oven heard of her ill-
ness. This was the cause of their sudden Reparation.
