It to anlbrtnnate that oor people bare been attacked tbla year with the absentee ftvtr to auoh an extent that we hate comparatively few left, bat I fbel enured that we ahall oomply with the recom mendation of the Convention.” We fear that oor Florida trienda will not be ablo to aocompltoh a great deal until tholr 44 birds or pu- aage” shall be driven home by northern frost*— We may, however, say to them that their destiny to in their own hands. Whether they are to have a Railroad pasting from Savannah through Hamilton, Madison, Jefferson, Leon and Gadsden counties, and eventually to Fensaoola, will depend upon tho sub scriptions of Mlddlo Florida. Eight hundred thous and dollars raised in that District [wo hope thoy may not stop short of a million] will bring tho road from this city, info Hamilton county. Savannah stands pledged to that; and too highly values her character to forfeit her promise. On this point the people of Florida nttd Hat* no fears. Should tijey, however, fail to meet the condition by neglecting to come for ward with a subscription of “ at least eight hundred thousand dollars,” they will have tliemsolvca alono to blamo for being left off tho track of the road from this city to Pensacola. Bat we do not beliove that they will allow tho opportunity which now oflfcre for connecting themselves with a well-established Atlan tic pirt, to be lost. It may not bo improper to say that important ... tclligence in relation to the scheme of a direct Rail road connection from Savannah to Fort Gaines, by way of Albany, has reached ns within tho last few days. From It wo have somo reason to bellevo that that connection will be apeedUy made, without any other subscription from this city than the million of dollars already voted to tho Savannah and Pensacola road. Tho two will, of coarse, pursuo a common track to the west bans of the Alatamaba. Wo hope a very fe w years will sec both constructed. Tho com pletion of the one need not and will not prevent tho completion of tho other. Whon both are finished, they will, In connecUon with the Brunswick enter prise, supply Southern Georgia with all the Railroad facilities that her people can desire. No one should regret to seo them all constructed. They will de velop® an amount of wealth between the region tra versed by the Central and South-western road and the Gulf of Mexico, which will astonish all but those best acquainted with the capabilities of that immense section of country. Tnx Rsr. Wx. T. BiuxnT.—Tbe Rev. Wm. T. Brantly, the New Orleans Chronicle says, has been invited to become the pastor of the First Baptist Church. In Savannah, Ga.— The same paper adds that a salary of twenty two hundred dollars has been provided. A friend has called our attention to tho foregoing extract from tho Philadelphia Chronicle. Wo need hardly say that tho announcement contained In it is ontircly erroneous. The Bcv. Mr. Rambaut is now, and has been for several years, " pastor of tho First Baptist Church in Savannah.” Highly esteemed os lio iB for his teal and talents by tho members of his Church, and congregation, it is notprobablo that they will select another in his place. We understand that it is tho Baptist Church of Augusta to which Mr. Brantly has been invited, with tho offer of a salary of twenty-two hundred dol lars. Whether he has accepted the invitation we know not. Unless he has resigned his post very rcccutly, he is now one of tho professors in Athens College. Christian Negro Liberality.—We understand that the Rev. J. P. Tcstls, of this city, yesterday for warded to the Treasurer or tho Southern Baptist Board of Foreign Missions a check for one hundred dollars—the contribution of tho colored Baptist Churches of Savannah to the African Mission. This is the amount of their annual subscriptions, though thoy exceed it some years. As an example of liber ality, it might well ho imitated by many Churches In Georgia whoso members possess fairer complex ions and more extensive means. Masons in Viroinia.—At tho annual communica tion of the grand lodge of freemasons, held in Rich mond, there were in Virginia 120 lodges, and 9,819 members. The lodge receipts for the previous year amount to $35,157 66. Initiations 763, admitted by card, 191. Heaths, 70. Numherof brothers relieved, 894. Number of widowed families relieved, 89.— Amount paid for relief, $12,228 23. Amount paid lor the education of orphans, $1,793 32. Tiie Darkness Gone.—M. A. Townsend, writing from New Brighton, l’a., under duto of Juno 27, says: 41 A littlo boy, blind from birth, aged about four years, died in thi9 village a few days ago with scarla tina. About an hour before the littlo sufferer depart ed lie exclaimed Pa ! 1 see now. Darkness is all cone. Day is come t" Ilia father inferred from tho incident that he was bettor, and would probably re cover* But an hour passed, and he was with the an gels.” An Old Book.—We recently examined a copy of the Confessions of Baint Augustine, which wus print ed live years before Columbus sailed on his voyage westward in search of a new world. Tho work is in Latin, but the words arc abbreviated to such nu ex tent that few persons have the patience to study out revelations of tho saint. The face of the typo is clear, and the mochanical execution of tho work is ns good os that of most of tho publications Issued three hun dred years afterward*—Norton Transcrijit. Very Gallant.—Rev. A. D. Eddy, of Newark, New Jcrecy, in tho discussion upon slavery in tho Presbyterian Assembly, at Buffalo, defended himself from the charge that he had married a slaveholder. It was untrue. She nover had but ono slave, and that was the one she married. He had no wish to es- capo from her bondage. Remedy for tue Yellow Fever^-TIio newspa pers of British Gulnia contain accounts of tho discov ery of a remedy for that scourgo of tropical America, the yellow (ever. The remedy is tho plant certain or verbena, which grows abundantly in that region. Tho expressed juice of the leaves, given in small doses threo times a day, with an enema of the samo every two hours, is stated to he a perfect cure for tho yellow fever and black vomit, even in their most threatening stages. The artesian well at Montgomery, Ala., is now COO feet ia'dcpth, and water of a most excellent quality is issuing therefrom at the rate of eight gallons per minute. An instance, says tho Momphis Appeal, has recent ly occurred in Cincinnati in which a lady was a maid, a wifo and a widow, ail in ono day. Mrs. Connell, wife of the man who was so cruelly murdered on Front street, the other evening, had married her hus band on tho morning of tbo samo day on which tho fatal affray occurred. At morn a maid, at noon a wire, at evening a widow. When the Popo fled to Gocta, in 1848, tbo clergy of Notre Dame dos Yictoires. in Paris, offered up S era and instituted a perpetual mass for the resto- n of the Papal person and authority. The Pope, when he got back to Borne, ordered two gold and be- studded crowns to be made for thostatnea of the Vir gin and tbo infant Jeans, at the Church or Notre Dame. Tho ceremony of offering these crowns to tbo cure of the church, has taken piaco with great pomp. Naval.—Tbo sloop-of-war Oyano Is dally expected from Pensacola with a draft of men for tho frigate Savannah. The B. Is expeoted to go into commission immediately upon the arrival of Com. Baiter from Washington, accompanied by his flag-lieutenant, Lc- Boy. Tola draft or men will nearly complete her complement and prepare her for sen.—Norfolk Ar gus, 27th ult. The Freeman's Journal states that Dr. Ives has written a volume, entitled 41 Tbo Trials of a Bplrit in its Progress towards Catholicity, or Letter to his Frienda, by L.S. Ives, formerly Bishop of tho Protest ant Episcopal Church in North Carolina.” It is stat ed that be wrote it |n Borne, and ia about visiting London to superintend its publication. The Southern Medical and Surgical Journal has a case of fracture of tbo skull, which resulted in the loss of considerable matter, and the bone removed amounted to at least threo inchos square. The pulse did not rise above 85 at any time. The patient, a ne gro woman, recovered. Db. Kino's Gas*—The Now York Tribune learns by a letter from Athons, that the affair of Dr. King is on tho point of being arranged. He will bo in demnified for property, and the remainder of his sen tence will be remitted by the King. Late advices from Honduras report that a conspire cy had broken oat against General. Cabanos. Borne 200 men of his forces rose sgalnt him, but sucoeedcd in puttiog down the revolt. Two captains, two sub lieutenants and several private solldeni were shoot for tho offonoe. An Ox that gives Milk.—Mr. James Thom, of Clinton, has an ox that gives milk freely. He has a bag with four teats, each one or which yields milk like that of the cow. The bag U divided into fonr sections, bat unlike the cow’s H has to udder. Each quarter of the bag has a oavity which supplies its teat, Independents the others. When milked out, Is readily supplied again, like that of the cow. Oar informant states that the animal a fine one. is worked every day on the farm of Mr. Tr-Pokeepsie Am.

The annual sermon,aocordlng to'appointment, was preached In the chapel, on Sunday morning, by Rev; J. P. Tnstln, of Savannah. The subject of the ser mon was—''Oor Dependence Upon the Past,and Oar Consequent Doty to the living, Agh.” On Sab bath evening, the annual sormon before tho Young Men's Missionary Society, wm delivered by Rev, Professor James 0. Furman, of Furman University, 8.0. The theme which this accomplished Christian minister and scholar ao ably enforced, wm—' 1 Self- denial the Proper Bplrit of Rollgion.” On Monday, the prise doolamatlon by tho Soptao- more Class, took plaoe, on tho part of eighteen com petitors. Tho highest premium, in an elegant selec tion of books, ooettng fifteen dollars, was galnod by J. M. Campbell, of Griffin, Ga., and tbo second pro- mlnm, of Uko kind, at ten dollars, wuawarded to T. W. Brevard, of Tallahassoo, Fla. Tho Judges ap pointed to award the standard of morlt, doclarcd four othors as entitled to an equal grade with tho two first, and they stood in tho following order: W. 0. Johnson, of Oglctborpo coanty, F. E. Wimberly, of Twiggs county, T. C. Boykin, of Columbus, aud T, B. West, of Wilkes county. Tho Junior EKhibltion was performed by thirteen- members of that class, on Tuesday forenoon. The speoclics in a larger part of tho instances, were dis tinguished by a high dogrco of originality of thought, energy of manner, and cleganco of execution. The Alamnl Association held their anniversary, on Tuesday afternoon, when an animated and patriotic address was delivered by Maloolm D. Jones, Esq., of Burko coanty. His topic, which was so pertinent to tho occasion, was— 44 Tho Duty of American Alumni to their own Colleges aud to their own Country." Wednesday was the great day of tho anniversary. At on early hour tho spacious chapel, ono of tho largest public buildings in Georgia, was crowded abovo and below, by. tho multitudo who repaired, many of them from a great distance, to witness tho interesting services. Fourtoen graduates, with tho exception of two excused, hold tho audlciico in lively and sympathizing attention. Tho first honor was equally divided by H. T. Wimberly, of Twiggs coun ty, J. T. Clark, of Lumpkin county, and J. H. Kil patrick, nf Richmond count} 4 . The sccoud honor aud salutatory address was assigned to W. H. Davis, of Ncwnan, and the third honor to G. R. McCall, of Scrivon county. Besides theso, tho other graduates are: T. S. Bonner, of Morgan coanty, T. E. Daniel, of Grceno, P. E. Darant, of Pcnfleld.E. Jewell, of Ogle- thorpo, J. H. Malone, or Greene, J. D. Matthews, or Elbert, W. J. Norton, of Pcnflcld, W. A. Overton, of Greone, and 8. N. Wiuklor, of Savannah. Tho only theological graduate was Mr. A. T. Spacing, of Bus sell county, Ala. The degreo of A. M. in course was conferred upon a considerable number of three years standing ; aud tho honorary degreo of A. M. on Q. Y. Browne, of Madison, Ga. In the afternoon of Wednesday tho Ciceronian and Phi Delta Societies held their united anniversary, the alternate direction of tho appointments for this year being with tho Ciccronians. Tho Hon. J. B. O’Ncul, of South Carolina, who had been appointed a year ago to deliver tho address, was unexpectedly detained at homo; and after a short tlino for selecting a substi tute, tho duty in question was performed by Rev. J. P. Tustin.of Savannah, who delivered a discourse prepared for another literary occasion. His subject was Chivalry, in its relations to tho Female sex, tho formation of manly character, and its historical as pects in rcfcrcnco to the Middle Ages and modern times. There was also a sepamto oration delivered before the Ciceronian Society, in tho presence of its own members, by its acting President, Hon. Wm. C. Daw son, of this State, who held his audience, for a long time, by an address distinguished for the finest points of oratory, which are so often displayed by this dis tinguished Senator. Tims ended a literary festival, which was regarded by hundreds present as an appropriate index of tho rising and rapid prosperity of this University. Its pecuniary endowments are unusually large and lib eral, for any College, whether at the North or South. Its retired location, somo seveu miles from the Geor gia Railroad, at Greensboro, is one of the most ap propriate that couhnia^o bcou selected in tho State. Soma half dozen Collcgo buildings, convenient and well finished, on an elevated point of view, combin ing hill and valley in strong relief, mnke this spot ono of the most charming places which the Btudent or stranger could visit. With this, aud the other tlirce Colleges of Georgia, no industrious youth, and no judicious parent, need any longer feel a doubt that a liberal education of the highest order can bo obtuinod, without going beyond tho beautiful scenery and the healthy climato of the upper country of their own flourishing State of Georgia. * For the Savannah Georgian. Wkttmkki. Ala., July Mill, 1853. Morn. Editors i Observing that Savannah is awake to her own and tho public interest, on tho subject of Railroad*, I take it ior granted that your column* nro open to any suggestions of routes, in contemplation, by which the ob- Joels sought may bo best promoted. A portion of tbo peo- plo of this Stato nro anxious, at the next session of our Legislature, to got a charter to givo a bettor Rniiroad con nection both with tho West and Atlantic seaports. III*, witli us, desirablo to connect with tho uoarcst point on the Atlantic, and that is Savannah, by a continuous lino, on which there ahall not bo any transhipment*. From thi* plnco wo ought to lrnvo direct connection with Savannah, by way of Columbus. Our guests could then reach u* in U*s than half of tho preseut time required by way of tho gulf and river, while wo would bo saved tho heavy cost of Insurance, around tho dnngorous pas* of tho former. Wo wi*li, al*o, a inoro direct as*relation with our Weslcrn pro duce market. To obtain thi*, a road 1* needed to connect us with the Railroad through Illinois, terminating at Cai ro. If you will look on the innp, you will observe, tho lino should pa*s from this piaco by way of Tuscaloosa aud Aber doeu, Mississippi, and connect with tho Mobile and Ohio road in its pass up to Cairo. And whilo wo have an Inter est in this line, I ask, will it not open the way for the near est and best connection of Savannah with tho great West t My object is to call tho attention nf your enterprising citi zens to it, and I will make a few statements which should not be lost sight of: First. The road should cross all the rivers at the head of sloamboat navigation. I assign three important reasons for it s First. In courso of timo the towns located at those points will tako tho trade. If no thing clso will bring it about, tho water power will. For proof I need only refer to tho towns In tho older States.— Second. At theso point* the foundation is always good, whilo the span Is generally short for bridges. Third. Tho line botween may, all tho way, bo elevated along tho ridges, above high ttdos, whilo timber through these regions is generally plenty for superstructure and repair. Your road boing already completed to Columbus, I need only ask that the branch to Opelika, as that is located, be continued direct to Tolbroo, tlionco to Wotumpka, Tusca loosa and Aberdeen. And I assert, from the strictest per sonal observation, the wholo of it ia highly favorable.— There you gain, as already noticed, an easy junction with the Mobile and Ohio road, runuing to Cairo—leaving from Columbus to AbordeeD, some 270 miles of road to bo com plated, and you are united with kike Michigan. I have not the vanity to undertake to enlighten your intelligent citizens upon tho commercial advantages of this connect ion. I will atato, however, a fow facts in regard to tho re latlon this line will have to State productions. It ia, lot me observe, nearly a central line through the Stale, from east to west, paaslng all the way at the foot of the granite re- glons, and U on the dividing ridge between the rich agri cultural land* of South Alabama aud hills, tho mineral portions, at the head of their noble dreams. The question will liavo hereafter to bo settled, whether the cotton would come up the river, to pass oil east, to your market, by way of the road, or not. If it should, tlum tho connection with the cotton intoreit will be entirely favorablo. Tho mineral production* north of it, lietween the Coosa and Black War rior river*, consisting of coal, Iron, marble and lime, will be abundant and easy of aocou. Manufactured articles, either from the cotton or minerals, will of course bo sought at tbe seat of water powor. This lino will pass through one of our coal fields. And this leads me to state that a company already organized, are anxious to extend a road to connect with the line front tho north part of the State, which, while it would bring agricultural productions from a rich valley region, would for sixty miles, next to Its janotion, pass along extensive coal fields on one side, and mountain* of rich iron oro on tbe other, and its frame work would be basod upon lime and marble. Another read already being graded, the Belraa and Tennessee, would be crossed, which passes to the north-east through mineral and rich farming regions. Another droumstance, in rela tion to this line, Is its proper direction to unite with the Paclflc Railroad. If the opon or lower line spoken of, be adopted, In olther case, It Is right I will not, however, en large, tor I did not aim to discuss fully the utility of this road, above others, but merely thought I would suggest it, and drop a few thoughts, which might lead some of your own able writer* to vindicate, or else aeal its condemna tion. If adopted, however, and that road built from the Mississippi, Uils would be emphatically the South Atlantic and Pacific Railroad by a connection with it at or near Memphis. Alabama, The Wkatuml—Wo have bad rain every day for a week past, and aomo very heavy showers.

Endomlo fevor, including remittentand Intermittent fever, prevails In North America, the West Indies, on tbo west coast of Africa, in Syria, South Italy, tho Ionian Islands, and, in gonenu, tho low, marshy districts or warm countries. Yoliow fevor Is ondemio in North Ameri ca and tho West Indies, betweon latitudes dog. and 40 deg. N., Its northern limit in Europo being the lat itude of Gibraltar. Disease of tho digestive organs are most prevalent in Indivand East Africa. England, Guiana, Ao. Di seases of tho liver greatoly predominate in tho East Indies, wbllo consumption Is most consnlcnouB in Great Britain, British North America, and Jamaica. Dropsy is most prevalent In West Africa, Great Bri tain and Guina. Amoug the different countries tbo most striking contrasts are sometimes (exhibited; thus tho West of Africa Is tho most healthy country on tho globe. Although many causes besides that of climate contribute to produce theso results, yet gen erally, both in countries and cities, the chances of longevity arc grently in fevor of northern latitudes.— Of tho formor, wo find near tho bottom of to acalo, Java, os indicated by Batavia, somo of tho West India Islands, Sicily, N&plcs, Ac.; and near the top, Nor way, Sweden, and portions of England. Tho proportion or deaths from consumption indica tes how littlo more climato has to do with tho extent of tli is disease; since, whilo it is almost unknown in the Madras Presidency of Indn, it is more frequent at the Cape of Good Hope than in tho Northern United States, nearly even in Britain and British North America, nearly tbo same at Gibraltar as in tho West Iudics generally, and Is most fatal among European troops Tn Jamaica. In order to judgo of the effects of a climate, it is necessary to compare tho amount of mortality among tho natlvo population of a country with that or strangers to tho soil. Now, wo find that in nil India, tho average amount of mortality among European troops, is nearly three times ns great as among na tives, and that when in one locality, 75 per cent, of European troops died, tho mortality among tho black troops was little more than 2 per cent.; that tho num ber of deaths from cholera in India is twico as great amoug Europeans os among natives. In Britain, tho number of deaths among tue troops, generally, is 15 per 1,000 per annum, while among officers and tho civil population it is only 0 per 1,000. In France, the mortality nmong troops is 18 per 1,000; among civil ians it is 10 per 1,000. In tho island of llarbadocs, the mortality among civilians is not more than 14 per 1,000, while among European troops it is 58 per 1,000. At the Capo of Good Hope, and In West Africa, tho mortality among troops is 450 per 1.000, or 45 per cent.; lu tho navy, at the samo places, it Is only 25 per 1,000, or 2£ per cont. In general, tho mortality among the sailors of the navy is much less tliau among the troops. Tho effect of tho means adopted for checking dis ease in England, Franco and Germany, during tho past century, are snob, that whilo formerly 1 out of every 30 of the population died each year, now the average is 1 of 45, reducing by one-half tho number of deaths in theso countries. In tiio year 1700,1 out ofcvery25of tho population died fu each year in England. In 1801, tho proportion was 1 in 35; in 1811, 1 in 38: and iu 1843, 1 in 45; so that the chances of life havo nearly doubled in England with in 80 years. In the middle oi tho last century the rate for Paris was 2 in 25, now it is 1 in 32. Washington Gossip, Washington, July 20,1853. A California newspaper, received by tho Treasury Department, states that the grand jury of San Fran cisco has found a true bill of indictment against Col. James Collier, first Collector ut that port, charging him with having misappropriated some $300,000 of the public funds; also, that a similar indictment was expected to be found against T. Butler King, who succeeded Col. Collier, charging him with tho misap plication of about $100,000. It is not true, I believe, that tho Department has received any official notification of the facts, or any information on the subject, except that contained in the newspaper referred to. Somo months since tbe Department sent out to San Francisco, by the pres ent Collector (Major Hammond) snch cvidcnco ns it had in its possession, with directions to havo the sub ject brought before tho grand jury, if the evidence transmitted, and such additional evidence as was ex pectcd to bo obtained, was deemed sufficient to pro* cure the indictmontfl. This action of the Department was kept a profound secret until to-day. Col. Collier’s accounts have never been adjusted by the Department. He acknowledges having in his possession moneys belonging to the United States, but bad atcudiiy refused to pay them over, until tho Department should allow him certain suspended items charged against him. From the first, however, he declared bis readiness to stand a suit and abide tho issue, whatever it might be. It seems tho Depart ment preferred to take the more summary method of a criminal prosecution, which will probably end iu smoke. Perhaps the prosecution in Air. King's case rests upon a similar basis.

In tho Court of Quarter Sessions this morning George Smith, the fugitive slave, could not be surren dered by his bail, iu consequence of an informality in the application. Smith was then discharged, bnt was immediately arrested by tbo U. S. Marshal, who placed him in a carriage and drove to the Baltimore Railroad depot. The friends of the slave followed in close pursuit to arrest him on the bail. Tho result of tiio pursuit is not yet known, but his friends will probably follow him to Maryland. The Weather. " What a glorious tiling it is to have weather, and especially such weather as wo have had for the last four months, for it furnishes a topic for conversation and newspaper paragraphs of considerable fruitful ness, which iu these times of mental lassitude, and general dearth iu the news market, is a perfect 44 God send.” Wc have had occasion repeatedly of late to 44 blow up ” tho weather on account of its pertina cious dryness, and now wo feel liko 44 uncorking tho vials of our wrath ” against it because of tho opposite extreme, for we have been almost literally flooded with rain for the last six or seven days, ami the old adage, 44 it never rains but it pours," has been fully verillud. According to tho prognostications of the weutherwisc, if it rains on tho first 44 dog day” it will rain every day during the entire 44 dog days.

What the effect of tho wet weather upon tho crops will bo, wc arc not sufficiently versed iu the scienco of farm ing to foretell, but wo apprehend that it will cause tho corn to ear much beavior, and the cotton to slice] its bolls und squares.—Nuciia Vista Vadmccum, 30th. A Mall Robber Detected, On Friday last, a young man named Wm. Tinnin, was arrested iu tills piaco and committed to jail, on a clinrgo of robbing tho mail. Tho circumstauco which led to his arrest was, that ho oficrcd to pass a check on the Grccnsborough Branch of the Batik of Capo Fear on the Branch ncre, for $203.10, without the cn- dorsment of the payees here, and when he could not succeed in that, ho presented it to thoso payees for their endorsement. It was at onco identified as a clicck which had been remitted from Gralmra in Ala mance county, on tho 30th of May last, and not before heard of. It appeared on the examination of Tinnin, tlmt ho is clerk to John Bain, Postmaster nt Green Springs, four miles west of Hillsborough, and that lie sometimes opens the mail,and sometimes Bain opens it. His commitment followed of course. This is probably a most important discovery, as the robberies of tho mail between GrcenBborough and Raleigh have boon very numerous for tho last fow montlia.—•Faycttville Observer, 25th. Gen. Don Gregorio Melendez, the warlike chief of tho Juicheteco Indians, on tho Isthmus of Tehuanto- peo, Is dead. Tills Melendez hoa for a timo been tho chief of a powerful party on tho isthmus, and has by forco of nrms resisted the power of Mexico for the lost ten or twelve years. 8ome years ago the Mexican government laid a prohibition on tho manufacture of salt In the State of Oaxaca; whereupon Melendez put himself at tho head of the Juicheteco Indians, continued to mako and convey salt into the interior of tho republic, aud resisted successfully tho military forces sent there to Btop him. Finding that ho was too strong for tho weak forces sent against him, be established a small republio on ids own book, kept an army of several thousand warriors constantly under arms, refused to pay taxes to Mexico, and from tho advantages of bis position in tho gorges and defiles of the Cordilleras, defied all attempts on tho part of the government to oxerciso Jurisdiction in that quarter. In 1851 ho mado a descent upon tho city of Tehuan- tepee, and, after routing tho garrison, burnt every thing that was combustible, ana retired. He showed great friendship for the Americans who were engaged in tho scientific survey of the isthmus, and expressed a strong desire for annexation to the United States. Ho was a true republican. The Trial of Jambs W. 8chaumbkrg.—On the opening of tbe court yesterday morning, Mr. Fondall commenced tbo closing speech for the prosecution, which ho concluded at two o’clock. Tho Jury shortly after retired. At a quarter past our o’clock the court sent word to tbo jury that it was about to ad journ. and, nnlcsa there was a probability of their agreeing in a few minutes, they could seal up their verdict and bring it into court in the morning.

Children aro tho sufferers, to an unimagined extent, front eat ing unripe fruits. Without capacity, to distinguish right from wrong in this matter, they yield to tho temptation, so that tho only safe rule is to keen all fruit out of tholr way. By adopting tills rule, they will get none except what their parents know to bo good. Servants frequently destroy, unwittingly, tiio lives of children entrusted to their care, by buying them green fruit, whon bettor cannot bo had, in order to keep them quiot. Our parting advice is, not to bo afraid of ripo fruit, either for youreolf or family. But then you mast bo $fre that the fruit is ripo: not over ripo, much tho less green—Phi/a. ledger.

A Human Skeleton Kmbeililctl In Rook, The Zanesville Times relates the following : On Monday last, while some hands on the Cincinnati, Wilmington and Zanesvillo Railroad, at Cusack’s Mill, about five miles out of tills city, were quarrying stone, a human skeleton was found embedded in rock, on a blufi bank on the south brauch of Jonathan’s Creek, thirty feet from tho surface. A small ftohnro in the rock, of perhaps two inches in width, opened to the resting place of these remains, which, in all human probability, may have bcou deposited there centuries ago. The rock contained an Indentation of the greater part of tho body, as perfect as though moulded of Potter’s clay. From tue hip to the foot, particularly, this sarcophagus was correct as carving could have made it. Tho proportions, curvatures, Ac., of tho limb, were distinct and regular, and indicated that the skeleton had been of a person of full size. We saw this skeleton, aud the rock from which it was taken, the day after it had been discovered. The bones here in a good state of preservation. Cotton nt tho Crystal Pnlacc.
