' AV tbo meeting of Director* of lira South-Western
Ballroad held at Macon, on the 11th Inat,, It waa voted
unanimously to extend tho road tho dlatanco of about
thlrty-dra mile* beyond Amerlcua, provided planters
and bthor* along tho lino of tho proposed extoualon
vrUl furnish tvro-hftha of tho estimated cost of tho
' work. Tfro-flltha will be $225,000, according to the
estimates. The extension will be in a right line
through the 12th district of Lee, and tho 4th of Ran-
dolphj into the 3d of Baker county, striking tho
boundary of the latter at a point nearly mid-way be
tween Albany and Fort Gains. The survey Is to be
made Immediately. We ore Informed that tbero is
not the slightest doubt that the planters will subscribe
the amount required of them.
It Is of course known to our readers that the road
jfrom Oglethorpe to Amerlcua has been for months

' . prosecution. When tho extension now contemplated
is completed, it con hardly bo doubted that Savannah
will command all the cotton grown in tho highly pro
ductive region embraced between tho Chattahoochee

There was much excitement at Honolulu, in con
sequence of tiie appearance of tiie small pox in the

the diseaso, the Legislature passed n law for the ap
pointment of three commissioners of tho public
health, who immediately adopted measures for a gen

tension.
Tho King had issued a proelatnution for tiie obser

miliation and prayer.
The Polynesian says tho amount of drafts drawn
by ships belonging to tho American whaling fleet,
touching at Honolulu mid Lahaina during the last
senson up to January 1st, amounted to $300,000. The
cost of exchange upon this largo amount was from 10

Tho Rev. T. B. Turner, who has been minister of
St. George’s chapel in Kingston, for the last thirty
years, was about to leave the island tor tho benefit of

James Victor, a senman belonging to tho Prussian

Sixty-two felons, sentenced to the General Peni

Among the lands offered for sale in Trinidad is a
sugar estate called the Mayaro with land in cultiva
tion, estimated to yield 110 hogBheads. Beside the
cane cultivation, which is to yield 110 hogsheads of
sugar, there aro 1200 cocoa nut trees in benring. and-
a mill to express the oil. This udvertisoment shows
that tiie Trinidad planters, or some of them, are not
trusting to sugar alone, but arc turning that most
valuable of all trees, the cocoa nut, and producing oil
as well as sugar.
The Kingston Journal, commenting on tho difficul
ties encountered in attempting to induce tho color
ed people of the United States to migrate to Jamaica,
says:
We have repeatedly alluded to the advantage to
result to tho island, and to the colored Americans
who may resort to it and mnko it their homo, from
the introduction of a large number of them, and re
commend tlmt measures should bo taken to encour
age their migration to it. There would seem, how
ever, to exist no reason for believing that tho free
colored Americans will bo ready to accent tho invita
tion held out to them, or to leave the united States
nnless compelled to do so. Some few individuals,
weary of the conflict in which they are engaged,may
be disposed to leave a country in which they are en
gaged to so much undeserved contumely, but the
grent bulk pf the free colored Americans appear de
termined to brave tiie storm.

the Governor furnished him with tiie son of a Malay
ohclf for a Boorotury, whoso principal business, it is
alleged, was to act as a spy in behalf of tho author)'

Prevailing monsoons prevented Capt. Gibson from
going to Singapore as soon as ho intended ; and lie
was warmly pressed by tho Duteli officers to accom
pany them in i\ transport ship—thu bark June, which
had been chartered by tho Government for tlmt pur-
pose—oil an expedition to tho Dutch fortress at Pal-
einbatig. It was represented that ho would thus
have un opportunity to see tho country, and study its
peculiarities, while lie would suffer no delay, uh he
could return before the season would permit him to
proceed on Ids voyuge. Ho decided upon going, aud
took with him his Malny secretary.
Ho passed some time in that part of Sumatra very
agreeably, visiting tho various tribes of natives in
tho vicinity, becoming acquainted with their chiefs
and familiar with their language, and {raining the
confidence and esteem of many ol the native.princes,
who were not especially friendly to the rule of the
Dutch. His motive in all this was the gratification of
curiosity us he had no designs connected with trade
or any other adventure, lio tnlked, however, with
great nod imprudent freedom of tho natural resour
ces of the country—of tho immense progress it might
make under better auspices and a better government,
and probably of tho special fitness of tiie Yankee
character for its proper development. Those conver
sations, and tho rapid favor lio was acquiring witli
thu native tribes, excited tho jeulously of the Dutch
authorities, who kept.a close watch upon his move
ments. •
Intending to mako a voyage up tho river in tho
Flirt, Capt. Gibson directed his secretary to writ3a
letter announcing that intention to tho Sultan of
Jnruibec. Instead of writing what was directed, tiie
narrative ull> g.'B, the secretary compiled a note in

affixed his signature, but us ho says without knowl

m I’aikhpano, 4 February. 18M.
This letter wns intercepted by the Governor, while
on it* way; und Capt. Gibson was arrested and con
fined in n dungeon in tiie fortress nt Falembang.—
His arrest took place at 4 o'clock,and ho wus notified
that he would be shot at six. The Governor’s council
however, decided to remove him at Batavia, where lie
was first confined on board tiie guard ship, aud sub
sequently in the fortress of Wettuvrecdon.
In February, 1852, Capt. Gibson was brought up
for examination before the Judge Commissioners of
the local Court of Batavia, which is composed largely
of disaffected natives, aud does not sympathise very
strongly, therefore, with thu Dutch authorities. Af
ter tho examination closed, the Court declared that
there was no grounds for his detention, and on the
25th of February, ordered him to be set nt liberty.
He was thus out of prison a day and a hair in the city
of Batavia, when the Attorney-General of tho King
issued a warrant for his re-arrest, and this warrant
wns ratified by tho Supremo Council of Netherlund
India. He was again thrown into prison, and re
mained some mouths, awaiting his trial, contiued in
a room ten feet by thirteen.
On the 8thof July he was removed to a larger and
better room, which lie attributes to a visit of the U. S.
sloop of war 8t. Mary’s, Capt. Magrodcr.
Capt. Mugruder visited Capt. Gibson in prison, ex
amined all the localities, expressed the deepest sym
pathy with him, and held out hopes that his release
should bo effected. Three Dutch vessels of war
meantime camo up, apparently to wntcli tiie St. Ma
rys' proceedings. Capt. Magruder wrote to the resi
dent Governor, and told Capt. Gibson tlmt he might
safely count upon being liberated within fifteen days.

Fatal Railroad Collision.
Yesterday afternoon, at a little after four o’clook, a
frightful collision occurred on tho Camden and Am
boy Railroad.near Old Bridge, between the 2 o’clock
train from Philadelphia and tho afternoon train from
New York. The trains met in full speed and the col
lision was fearful. Tho train from Camden was com-
C osed of six passenger cars, all full. That from Am
oy, with five cars, was going at greatspcod.tho con
ductor endeavoring to nmke up for some lost time.—
The engineers of each train had just tlmo to jump off
their locomotives, and the next moment the engines
were in collision, and the first car of one train was
driven into the forward car of the other.
Four persons were instantly killed, and about twen
ty were more or loss seriously injured.
D. II. Durkin, Esq., or New York, was on tho train,
accompanied by his wife, three children and a white
woman as nnrso, all of whom were caught under the
two cars which lapped on each other. Mr. Durkin
was sl'ghtly bruised—his lady was more severely
hurt, and the other elder children severely bruised—
while the nurse and younger child; about two years
old, were instantly killed.

they will be discharged on bail, tho calamitous re

will be on end of tho matter. If it be so, then we
may look in vain for some amendment of railway

been dictated by fear. Capt. Magruder and tbe St.
Marys accordingly took their departure, and Capt.
Gibson heard nothing tnnro about his promised re
lease. Ho then wrote to Commodore Aulick, repre
senting the hardship of his case, and the illegality
of Ids detention, and soliciting his interposition. Tiie
Commodore wrote in reply, expressing the warmest
sympathy for him, but baying that his instructions
from the Government at home forbade his leaving
tho Chinese seas, even on so urgent an errand as
this seemed to be. Ho promised, however, to do all
in ills power for his relief by correspondence.
The local Court of Itatavia hotel another meeting
upon Capt.Gibson's case, and again, on the 25th of
August, declared that it was a hardship aud a wrong
that he should be longer kept in prison. Four of ins
companions had already died. Two of them were
Americans, ono named Orson Chaffee, a native of
Wynduam county, Conn., and the other named
James Ivery: - tiie other two were Portuguese,—
Joaquin Antonio nnd Joao Texeira. who had spent a
largo part of their lives in the United Suites. Five
others remained, and had been set at liberty. When
Gibson was re-arrested, his first officer, Mr. Graham, i
had been arrested with him; Henry Jones, of Sag
Harbor, L. I., his second officer, and tiie cabin-boy,
Antony, were ostensibly liberated, but were kept in
prison us witnesses against Gibson.
The Judges of the local Court of Batavia had mean
time been superceded, so that on the 22d of Decern
her Capt. G. was brought before a commission com
posed of new members : and this Court also declared
that there was nothing in the laws which could make
out a case for a public trial. On the 23d of Decem
ber, Gibson was again set atliberty.
In February, 1853, ho was again arrested upon nn
accusation, drawn up by the new solicitor, which set
forth the circumstances of Capt. Gibson's sojourn in
tiie country, and laid special stress upon the letter
lio was charged with having written, andulleging.on
tho strength of these representations, that ho had
boon guilty of treason, and that bis movements were
dangerous to the peace of Netheriaud India. Tiie
trial commenced on the 14th of February, and Instcd
thirteen days. Forty-three witnesses were examined,
consisting of officers, natives, chiefs, See. IIo was
aided by two counsellors—F. Ailing Mees and Mr.
Snndenborg Matthiesscn. The trial ended February
27, and the parties were notified to attend on the 6th
of March, to hear the verdict. The verdict, in the
Dutch practico, comprises a detailed history of the
whole case, sitting fortli all tho facts proved, as well
as tho judgment of tiie Court based upon them. In
tills case it occupied 132 printed pages, and conclud
ed by finding that there were no grounds on which
to accuse Capt. G. of treason—ordered him to be ac
quitted and set nt liberty, adjudged tlio Government
to pay the costs, directed his vessel to bo restored,
and awarded him damages to tho amount of 500 ru
pees a day for all tho time he had been imprisoned—
tho whole amount of damages awarded .reaching
$32,000.
At 4 o'clock tho aamo day a warrant wns Issued for
his re arrest os a person whose presence was danger
ous to tho country, and the warrant was sustained by
tho supreme council. Capt. Gibson, having learned
from his counsel, that Government had determined
on his execution, nnd would order it for tho 25th of
April, mAdo an arrangement for his escape. This was
effected through the Instrumentality or friends, on
board an American clipper in the harbor: These
friends procured disguises for him, *o that one day,
while the prisoners were at their meals, ho passed the
guard, left tho prison in tho dress of a servant, climb
ed over two walls, waded the ditch' and by tho aid of
horses reached tho sea-shore and got on board. At 0
o'clock, tho alarm of his escape was given, lights
were hoisted, and the guantahip fired a shot nt tiie
clipper, ordering her to stop. She waa. by this timo,
however, well under way, aud stood out to sea.

a chnpimrcl of cane, bearing a small berry, on which
tlieturkcys cunio in countless numbers to feast. Thus,
it was enough for the whites to call it the land ol Cane

SUNDRIES,
Storm lu Ncwnrk.
Another violent thunder storm passed over our city
bust night about 10 o’clock, bringing up thu rear of
thu long array of clouds which liavo covered tho sky
for several days past. The thunder rumbled for a
long time in tho distance, as if dissatisfied with hav
ing left our city, but the bright stars in the west
twinkled inerrdy at its departure, and seemed to as
sure us once more of bright skies nud clear weather.
The weuther-encks, which have pertinaciously point
ed eastward, now take an opposite direction, and nil
things indicate a freedom, at least temporary, from
the too profuso favors which the atmosphere has
granted us.
During the storm the house of Mr. Sterling Arm
strong. nenr Mount I’lcasant Cemetery, in this city
wus struck by lightning in n very singular maimer —
The south-east corner ofthe roof seemed to have been
the point first struck, although there was no outward
indication ot tiie entrance of the electric current; the
pints and undent! lu of the roof was splintered for a
distance of about fifteen feet, from whence no signs
of its passage are visible in any direction ; the next
point at which it appeared was in perforating tho
floor in tho hall very near the centre ofthe house, in
the first story, and more than thirty feet distant from
the point first struck. The hole was not unlike that
of a small rille ball shot from below, splintering up
ward nnd tearing tiie oil cloth to fragments, passing
along the ceiling of tho basement, tearing off the
plastering, shivering the joist ami studs; it finally
spent its fury by demolishing tho Inside casings of u
window in the basement.
Mrs. Armstrong and the wife of Mr. L. H. Arm
strong were both ill the Hall at the moment, and
within four feet of tho spot where, the floor was pierced
and the carpet torn to atoms, yet sustained no injury
except a slight concussion ami blinding effect of the
lightning. Tho house was filled with a Rtrong sul
phurous odor, nnd somo smoke. The house was also
protected by a lightning-rod, pat up in tho most ap
proved manner, with glass Insulators, and elevated
some twenty-five feet above tho.point struck as above
named, yet no signs are visible of its having been
touched. The action of the lightning was so peculiar
that the case seems worthy of notice from the scien
tific, there being many facts that cannot bo crowded
into this notice.
The fluid also struck the flag staff on the Market
street Railroad depot, shivering it and scattering
sniinters in all directions. A number of persons were
sitting under thu porch of the depot, but felt no shock.
The telegraph wires on the opposite side of Ferry-st.,
appeared to be lines of fire, and a woman in the
Washington House was slightly stunned.

A work has just appeared in l/mdon. which is
destined to excite a great sensation. It is entitled a

Tiie Fraudulent Pardon Case.—The cose of Frs.
B. Edymnln, who was arrested in till* city nrtd con

he had been pardoned by Gov. Seymour and set nt
liberty, continues to bo canvassed by those learned
In tho law. We pretend only to bnvo a limited
knowledge of the criminal' Uw, but thoso who havo
msdo it their study for year* boldly assert that they
cannot keep him In orison. He has been pardoned
by the Governor—liberated by tho keeper, and after
an absence of some week*, ho is recommitted.
A person cannot bo tried twice Tor tho same of

can a person bo twice nunlsliod for the same oflhnco,
Admitting It to be true that tho papers on which he
obtained his pardon wtfro forgeries, it doos not fol
low that he committed tho offence. How could he
,b$ve written them and sent them down to tho Gov

mitting that ho did forge them tho faot will have to'
seen the book, says tlio Philadelphia Ledger, but find
un analysis of it, with numerous extracts, iu the last
number of tho London Athenaum.
Tiie work, intended as a defence of Lowe for his
brutality to Napoleon, is full of curious revelations.
It seenn that tin systematic annoyances to which the
exile was subjected, were well known to tho British
Ministry, and that, so far forth, Lowe was less guilty
than 1ms been popularly supposed. But this is not
the darkest shade of the transaction. These volumes
leave no shadow of n doubt that Dr. O'Meara, whose
" R relations from St. Helena” became afterwards so
famous, was originally designed to act ns a spy on
the secret thoughts of Napoleon, for the benefit of
the Prince Regent, and certain members of the Cabi
net, and that he actually filled this disgraceful {lost
for awhile ; und that tiie revelations lie made ofitho
tortures which the exiled cmperorsullered, •* amuse.■”
his Royal H tali ness, to quote from tiie correspon
dence. and afforded a “ real feast'' to others In anted-
ty. What can be more revolting than this picture ?
The highest personages in tho British realm, com
prising oven the acting executive, conniving nt u
breach of private confidence, and consenting to the
petty malice ot a brutal, consequential governor, in
order that they might bo “ amused" at the agonies
of their victim! It is to tho credit of Peel nnd
Wellington, who succeeded tho ministry that thus
disgraced itself, that they appear to have dUlikcdtbe
entire proceedings.
O’Meara himself does not appear la tho most favor
able light. The best that can be said of him is that
lie firmly refused to assist in this dirtv work, partly
from compassion for Napoleon, partly because the
British ministry refused to pav a certain twelve thous
and francs which he demanded. His “ Revelations
from St. Helena, 1 ' was the consequence. Though he
assailed tiie cabinet with great acrimony in that
book, the government could do nothing in retalia
tion. as ho well knew—for the only course they could
take to effectually injure him would be to publish his
letters written when their spy—and this would dam
age them even more than him. All the government
did wo* to cause a vituperative article to appear in
the Quarterly Review, of which tha authorship was
generally attributed to Crokcr. It now seems that
this gentloraan was tiie person in the ministry that
managed the correspondence, using as his tool •
friend of O’Meara's, a clerk in tho Admiralty, whom
ho bade to instruct tho doctor to write in the fullest
possible detail, all tho anecdotes ho could pick up.—
Crokor is still alive and may attempt to whitewash
the affair over. But tiie Athenaum says there is not
tlio slightest doubt of the authenticity of tho docu
ment, and if so, tho task of tlio veteran Tory will be
as difficult as changing a leopard’s spots.
In short, there seems no doubt, from tho revelations
in tliis book, undertaken though it was for a defence
of Lowe—that tiie tales told ot the treatment of Na
poleon at St. Helena, by O’Meara, Las Casas, Montho-
inn, and others, were not a whit beyond tiie truth.—
Tlio only result of these volumes is to confirm the
general suspicion, which of into years had begun to
prevail, that the ministry or Lord Liverpool sanction
ed, at least indirectly, all the meannesses and brutal
ities of Lowe.—New Orleans Courier.
Cspt.'Edward N. McCall, of tho United States Navy,
lately decoascd, was highly distinguished in the action
between tho Enterprise and Boxer, 8ept. 4tb, 1813,
on which occasion, ho succeeded to the command, up
on tho full of Lieut. Commandant Burrows.
Captain McCall was born on the Gth of August,
1700 In the city of Charleston. Ho entered tho Navy
as Midshipman, Jan. 1st. 1808, and was promoted to
a Lieutenancy March 14th, 1H13, at which time he
was on duty on board the brig Enterprise, or fourteen
B ins, thon under tho command of Liuut. Johnston
lakoly.who was shortly afterwards succeeded by
Lieut. Win. Barrows.
Tho Enterprise loft Portsmouth. N. II., for a cruise
on tho 1st of September, 1813, and on the 4th, at 20
minutes past three o’clock, P. M., she brought to no
tion the British brig Boxer, of fourteen guns. Lieut.
Barrows being mortally wouudud early in tho en
gagement, though he refused to leave bis past, the
command developed upon Lieut. McCall, who carried
his ship gallantly through tho action, the enemy sur
rendering at 4 o clock, P. M. The loss on board tho
Enterprise was one killed and fifteen wounded, whilo
that ofthe Boxer was from twenty to twoiity-flvo kill
ed and fourteen wounded—among tho former, Captain
Blythe, hor commander.
By resolution, approved Jan. Gth, 1814, Congress
icaused to bo presented to tho nearest mole relative of
Llout, Burrows, and to Lieut, McCall, gold medals,

at that time three feet water In her hold. She then

A Man Starred.—At Cross’ Hollow, a few miles
from tliis city, u difficulty arose between two men
about nn augur which ono was using nt the time,
when the oilier drew a knife and stabbed him.
Tlio wound, wo learn, proved fatal. We were unable
to obtain the names or particulars more minute. Tiie
man of the knife was drunk, and shortly afterwards
arrested. If such deeds become more frequent, it

dinary sized land turtle, with this inscription on his
shill: “W. H.C..A. D.. 1810.” The initials have
been recognized as those of Mr. Wm. H.Cornell,a re
spectable citizen of Scarsdale, and a member of the
Society of Friends, and now about eighty years old.
It was marked by that gentleman 37 years ago. Miss
Haight returned the turtle to tiie lot from whence
she brought it, nnd allowed it to live on unharmed.

Instantly killed by the electric fluid. The houso was
