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 In our possession at present by our request. It was 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 Treasurer-paid over to the Rev. Mr. Meynardie—reg ie preaest year, of the Rev.

It is in the hands of Ur. Davies ready to be handed over, agreeably to the wish of Wheel- In. The facts here detailed—the amount of mon ey contributed by a few Macks for Missionary pur poses—the honesty and anxiety of this slave to discharge his whole duty, might be swelled almost to a volume. Does it not convey a lesson to ns blessed * with a whiter hne ? And would it not be well for l&s. Stowe to treasure up such facts for a new volume ofUnote Tom J—YorkviUe, (N. C.) Miscellany. 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.

In the course of two hours, both animals were dead, pulse- loss, and quiet over flames of fire. Then, a bellows- nozzle being inserted into the trachea, inflation was began, and continued for bo me minutes. We saw the motionless heart throb, the blood beginning to flow from the lungs to that organ—the eyes of the alligator opened, and the hapless * victim' lived again I The alligator whose chest was exposed, had his carotid artery accidentally cut, thereby losing a considerable quantity of blood, and hence it was not made bo briskly alive os the other, who retained all lie vital fluid." Too Good to be Lost. ’ W,1 «F' 1 "" 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 — ... . .. — Thoy g thorn as T n t s white as snow. They said that it was nothing but his grey hairs that saved him from personal violence—he was an old soldier, and they coaid not lay hands on him.

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 «» thpp .mu' W wholly..lrre*iw»««sibl0 for ItO luuuoa, nuu UU; ... lu -t _*. r t. »Uvw 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. Correipondence of the Savannah Georgian. 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: My Brethren, ours le a royal priesthood, and a peculiar people.

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 at what hour he received the blow—money is sup posed to have been the object of the murderer.

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 June. .

After accusing the preceding governments with having, by the fears which they affected towards the foreign powers, brought on tho humiliating condition in whicn Mexi co has fallen, this document continues in these terms: “These reflections forcibly remind na of tbo happy epoch, when the Mexican soil waa profaned by for eign avarice. Several nations, friondly to this Re public, had a material Interest in the conservation of <ur independence, and none of them could consent to the mast outrageous violation of the right of nations. Nevertheless, not ono raised a voice or a man to come to onr aid, not even thoso that saw with tho greater regret too unjust attack of which we were victims.— It was becauso wc had made so little of tho friendship of those nntlons which might have favored ns; be cause we preferred to their friendship, that of an in vading nation; because, perhaps, they had been of fended, by our refusing their advice, and keeplnp iloof from their influence, in order to authorize, am evon to solicit that of a nation, which sent us its zrmy, after having deceived us by too most insidious protCfitlo* of The Universal then goes on to show the different conduct of tho foreign powers toward Spain, at the tme of tho invasion of Cuba. It says, that instead of abandoning Spain to the ambition of Americans, m they had dono in the case of Moxico, they hasten ed to ollbr their -assistance against ita enemies. It tdds: •• \Vo feel satisfied, that should similar circumstan- acs occur, our country would find Itself in a very dlf 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- cy. and sustained by the brilliant hopes w» have for the future; and our cause would be taken up by all the nations of the world, which would rise in defence of onr Just cause.” , . ......

Highland Mary. Highland Mary was Mary Campbell, from Camp- belltown.ln Argyleshlre, and lived in Collafleld.in tbo bnmble situation of aalry-mnid to Colonel Mont gomery. She also lived at one time as nursemaid In the family of Burns’ friend and patron, Gavin Hamil ton, whore ho visited her. Mary had gone to tho 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. Although Mr. Denham travels over some of tho grounds touched upon by ‘ Hunthor Jack,’ yet as ho relates incidents, many of thorn unknown to the gen eral reader, we believe it will repay for the time lost In the perusal: ' Moat people, tnost reading people,’ writes Tboro&a Denham, • ure more or less acquainted with tho burd’s two beautiful 01711810118—' Highland Mary ’ aud the address to ‘ Mary iu Heaven.’ Poor Highland Mary was a beautiful, interesting, and in nocent young creatnre—for human loveliness, good- nesa and greatness Can neitle In tlin lowly build, Ah weel’s In caitlo baV And though brought up In the humble circumstan ces, Mary bad chamra which attracted many wooers. and Bays Allen Cunningham: ' There was not want ing the temptations, Ac., to allure.’ But nothing could win her young affections from the peasant po et—they were betrothed.

On tho first, 4 And ye shall not swear by ray namo falsely—I am tiie Lord.’ On the second,' Thou shall Dot forswear thyself, but perform unto the Lord thy oaths.’ There Is something exceedingly touching in this S haso of poor Burns’ existence, and the Pathos and eep feeling evinced in these two p<J*nirablo poems can well attest how his sensiw* 0 heart must have writhed under tho harrow***? affliction which wrench ed the tenderest, dearest chords.
