be done him and justice denied. It wonld not avail in any court in Christendom. He would be told to defend his rights and trust to the law and the revisory power of the court or other tribunals to set aside fraud, or to vacate a corrupt verdict. Is the appre of fraud or violence sufficient to vi tiate any election from a constable's to the President’s ? It is not pretended that this belief or fear was founded on any threats or concerted arrangements, or that there were any signs thereof, and the only pretense set up was, that at the first election for a Terri torial Legislature, there were fraud and vio lence. It is simply contemptible to say that was sufficient in advance to vitiate any and all future elections. But, sir, there was a corrective power : there was a power to have prevented the consummation of any fraud or any violence. That power was the Congress of the United States, which have full authority to deter mine the final question of admission. Had there been an honest effort on the part of* the legal voters to have been heard, by any means that were unjst and unfair e rights of the majority were denied, no man will pretend that Congress could not . have intervened, and even if it could not give at once full force and effect to the will of that majority, it at least could prevent the con eummation of the wrong. It would have been within the clear, legal, and constitu tional competency of Congress to have lis tened to such an appeal, and to have deter mined such a question ; and it would have been its duty to have decided according to the facts. Sir, that was the course that shou’d have been pursued. It was the only course, to wh : to have tried to “form their domestic instituti >; *” according to their own will; and if unjustly prtveuted, to have then appealed to Congress to set aside a fraudulent ver dict—to prant anew trial. Mr. Chairman ill it be replied in answer to this, that Congress was not to be trusted —that faith was not to be placed in the Sen ate and House of Representative, and the President of the United States ? Who would set up this answer ? Who alone is entitled to make it ? Counsel cannnot do it without the authority and in the name of the client Gentlemen cannot do it here ex cept in the name of, and speaking for that part of the people of Kansas who protest against the judgment If they make it, what spectacle do they present ? First they im peach the authorities of the Territory, as in tending to be guilty of fraud, and then im peach Congress as being willing to become particeps is that fraud.—They outlaw the territorial authorities as unworthy of faith, and then pass a general judgmentof outlaw ry against the constituted authorities of the whole country, and challenge one and all as unfit to preside in the case. Sir, I will not listen to such a plea. I would strike it from the record as insulting and scandalous. I would not formally pronounce upon that which distinctly charges infamy on my asso ciates, on the Senate and the President, and on the whole legislative and executive de partments of my country. And yet, sir, that people to meet the point made, to-wit: that they should at least have struck for their rights when the chance was afforded them, are compelled to assume this strange, insult ing, and slanderous position. I repeat, sir, that the true course for that people to have taken, and for not doing which they cannot complain of their self im posed disability, was. when this question was before them in the election of delegates last June—had they been patriots, and desired the peace of their country ; had they been true to the cause they proclaimed ; had they wished the whole matter settled “in their own way,” and just as they wanted it—to have made at least the effort, as freemen, to proclaim their will; and, had they fallen by the wrone and injustice, to have entered their mveat. and appealed to the proper tribunal against the fraud. There would have been nothing unmanly in this ; and such should have been the course of patriots, who, know ing their rights, will dare to try to secure them. Mr. Chairman, some time before this elec tion in June, Gov. Walker and Secretary Stanton were in Kansas, pledging and guar antying the people a fair and honest elec tion. and begging—ay, sir, imploring—them to vote, and let their voice be heard in de termining the controversity. In my opinion air, in attempting this, he even went so far as to commit a great mitrago against their rights and to make threats that called for condign punishment; yet they would not vote. Deaf to entreaty, to promises, to the true interests of their own cause, to the calls of duty, they took refuge in mere stubborn ness ; and, conceding their great strength, thejq like the giant, either went to sleep, or took the “tuVa ,” until he was bound with cords, and then aroused with a loud cry that his rights were about being violated. Let that giant break those cords as best he may; Ido not think he has any strong claim on me to help unbind him. But; sir, in three months after*. the elec tion in June—within three months after that election at which was chosen the body who had power to decide this exciting question -—a change came over the spirits of thin re cusant people, and without any additional legislation, they went to the polls and voted and that, too, at an election of by no means the importance of the first. They not on ly voted, but succeeded, elected their Dele gate to Congress, and the Territorial Legis lature. That Delegate is now occupying his seat and that Legislature has been more than once in “ession. Mr. Chairman what does all this mean ? How would the calm and unprejudiced ob server be compelled to read this history.— Take it altogether, and I confess I see no other solution than this : that people either from some outside influence, or from some unhallowed motives of their own, did not desire an adjustment of this question; that they did not desire peace ; and that the whole matter must be kept open for the ben efit, of those whose capital was excitement, and whose aim was to build up party by the.aid of that excitement. Sir, I would not unjustly charge any person or people ; but, fearing this, I will Bay, that Kansas has been a disturber of the public peace enough and if it can be done, good bonds to keep that peace ought to be put upon her. At least, I would so act that when she Hfels dis posed to get up any further difficulty, she may not only have the right to settle “her own domestic institutions in her own way,” but that that “difficulty” may become, if she will have it, one of these “domestic institu tions” which she shall have the same “or ganic” right to settle in the same way. Mr. Chairman, if Kansas is admitted under this constitution, and there be this great overwhelming majority of three to one, what great harm can practically ensue ? More especially is this question pertinent when that majority has the whole machinery of the State govern ment. I know the reply is made to this that the Lecorapton Constitution does not provide for any change until 1864, and that it is only a revolutionary right which the people have to change that constitution before that time. I will not, Mr. Chairman, assume any formal posi tion now on that question as the brief time I have does not allow me either fully to state it or to fortify it. I cannot concur in w hat the President has said on this point but practically as applicable to this case, I will say that there is noth ing in the Lecompton constitution that in terms prohibit any change before 184>4. And if the majority in Kansas in favor of a change is so great, being ten thou sand out of thirteen thousand three hun dred, and that majority has now the whole government, no one can doubt what the result will b. With all official pow er, and that power willing, with such numerical power, and that power anx ious, no government on earth ever did or oould stand six, or five, or four years against it. If it be revolutionary it would of course be a peaceable revolution, for one government would simply abdicate m favor of the other, and that other sus- Uuned by three to one of the people.— ” tot * mean is, that it would, all this be ing true, obey the great law of human nature, and change itself. I speak of - al i Probability, would be the practical end of this whole matter, and not of constitutional right, nor do I be lieve it to be competent tor Congress in this bill to pass upon that question. An amendment has been put on the bill for the admission of Kansas, in rela tion to this point, about which I desire to submit a few remarks. It is in these words: “ And that nothing in this act shall be construed to abridge or infringe any right of the people asserted in the constitution of Kansas at all tiro®* alter, 1 eforrn or abolish their form of government, in such manner as they niay think proper, Con gress hereby disclaiming any authority to intervene or declare the construction of the constitution of any State, except to see that ia republican in form and not in conflict with the Constitution of the United States.” These words, sir, seem fair and plausi ble ; but Ido not like them. They say “nothing in this act shall be construed to abridge or infringe any right of the peo ple,” &ic. Does this special repudiation of such a construction being put upon this act imply that Congress could pass any act upon which such a construction could be legally put 1 Or that Congress could have put anything in this act which should legally admit of such a construc tion ? If that be their meaning, I repu diate them altogether. Do they mean to set up, as a special congressional declar ation, the wild, radical doctrine of Dor rism? If so, I repudiate them. Why put all that in this bill at all 1 Is it a bait for gudgeons or a tub for the whale 1 Into whose brain did the faintest idea ever enter, that the act admitting a State into the Union oould, by possibility, have ay control over the meaning of its con stitution as to the right of the people to change that constitution ? W her® are there any words in that bill that, by any construction or distortion, can have any possible connection, directly or indirect ly with the matter of the right of a peo ple to alter or change their constitution 1 Unless, then, this declaration is utterly impotent and meaningless, I fear that there is a “cat under the meal.” If they are intended to have any practical effi ciency, I here enter my protest. I trust they will be stricken out, and that we will not again run the risk of a double construction of fair-seeming and high sounding speeches introduced into the body of this bill as we did in the cele brated declaration in the old Kansas Ne braska bill. There is another fact in this Kansas history, Mr. Chairman, to which I wish to refer, as in my opinion it has tended no little to complicate the question, and has furnished almost the whole capital to the opponents of the admission of Kan sas. The organic act declared, “the peo ple perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject to the Constitution of the United States.” Gov. Walker, in last May, went to Kansas, and as the agent of the Administration in his very first act, to-wit, his inaugural address demand ed that the people of Kansas should “form their domestic institutions,” or frame their constitution after a certain mode specified by him. This he repeated in his Topeka and other speeches, and back ed them up by threats of preventing their admission in into Union unless they com plied ; and further declared, that In this he represented the President of the Uni ted States. One of the modes specified by him, was that any constitution that might be made should be submitted back to a vote for ratification or rejection. — Did the Constitution of the United States require this as a prerequisite for admis sion ? It would have been perfectly right and proper for the people so to have done had they seen fit; but the at tempt to coerce them was an outrage that has never been redressed. I hare stated that in this, Governor Walker said he was representing the President of the United States. And how turns out the case ? The only dif ference between the President and Gov ernor Walker is, that the President sa) s he meant that the slavery question was the question that the people of Kansas, in framing their constitution, mutt submit back to a vote. Walker was for the whole being submitted, and so was the President and says so in his message; and further, takes the position, again and again, that would have compelled him to resist the admission of Kansas had not the slavery question been so submitted. He says: “In the Kansas Nebraska act, howev er, this requirement is applicable to the whole constitution, had not been insert ed, and the convention were not bound by its terms to submit any other portion of the instrument to an election except that which relates the ‘ domestic institu tion of slavery.’ ” Here the President broadly asserts that the Kansas Nebraska act, “by its terms” bound the convention to submit the question of slavery back to an “elec tion.” Os course the inference is not only legitimate, but irresistible,'that if the convention had not thus submitted the question of slavery, he would have redeemed the pledge of Walker, and op posed the admission. Sir, with all due respect to the Presi dent, I beg leave to say, that no naan, woman or child in all this broad land ever heard of such a construction to the Kansas Nebraska act, until they read it in the message. That had been read by everybody, discussed and scrutinized and canvassed as no act of Congress had ever been before. The very words the Pres ident quotes to sustain his construction, had become as familiar as household words to every body. All had them by heart, and countless inquirers were ask ing and quarrelling about their meaning —but no one hinted or suggested, the idea never found a lodgment in print, or was whispered on the air, that that act meant what the President says it means, and yet, as to its meaning, he says he “had never entertained a serious donbt” Very well, sir, I will not dispute what the President’s convictions were, but I will say, that he was not only the first who ever promulgated the idea, but that down to the present day I have never heard that he has found a single indorser. If the President is right in saying that the Kansas Nebraska act required the constitutional convention to submit the question of slavery back to an “election,” then are Walker, Douglas, and Stanton right in holding that the whole constitu tion was required to be submitted. But either the one holding or the other is a forced construction ; and when any Fed eral agent or authority raised such a question on that people, a great wrong nas done; and when the demand was made, an outrage was attempted. T have said that this demand, or this portion on the pan of the President and Gov Wame, . tended no little to oompli cate the whole Kansas imbroglio nod has famished in its results the groundwork for the most of the arguments of the en emies of admission. How ? The con vention, overawed by these threatu, or seduced by the powerful influences bi ought to bear upon them, did submit back to an “election” the question as to the future importation of slaves. From the history B of the preceding election on reasonable man could believ e that but oae side would rote, and we held the spec tacle of another “election,” with very few voting but the friends of the measure.— It was not to be expected that when there was no opposition the full strength of the friends of that measure would be ex hibited—Moreover, with the wild con struction that had been claimed for this great doctrine of “popular sovereignty,” the free-State Legislature, which had just come into power, concluded they would take the strength of their side, when they knew they would have no opposition. — They appointed another, and a subse quent day, to take the vote again. They had seen the hands of their opponents, and they knew precisely what they had to overcome. The calf had been taught exactly how high he had to jump, and he jumped it. There were no obstacles in the way, and clear over everything the leap was made by thousands, and now comes up the hue and cry that the plan of the President has been adopted, and upon the high principle of “popular sov ereignty” the Lecompton constitution must be rejected. I here put the question if this demand of a submission back to an “election” had not been made and enforced, and the convention had framed the con stitution and applied for admission, where would have been the inch of ground upon which the opponents of admission could stand 1 None whatever, except that vo ters were not registered who refused to be registered, and that certain counties were disfranchised, which refused to com ply with the law that would have secur ed their rights. Let then, sir, the responsibility for this distracting state of the question rest up on all who have aided in bringing it np on us. >*,. Mr. Chairman, I have remarked that this Kansas question has been the instru ment with which parties and factions have worked long enough. For years it has absorbed everything else but the Democratic party; and it really does seem as if, at last, it was about making its final bait of that powerful organiza tion. Under the excitement it has pro duced, the Republican party had its birth, and has grownup to colossal proportions, mere terrible than an “army with ban ners.” It has given that party its war cry, and is the life-blood of its existence. By a sort of t converse principle, pro duced by the same cause, the Democrat ic party had pretty nigh taken captive another portion of thecountry. Between these two great parties, thus strengthen ed the American party, wiih its noble aims, and with its great leadhng principle to-day deeply rooted in tne hearts of three-fourths of the America people, hast almost fallen, like the good man over come by a multitude of sinners. Where then, sir, is the patriot who does not wish to relieve his country from this prossure, and to enable the people to come up to the consideration of other great principles intimately connected with their present interests and future prosperity ? Happy would be the lot of that man who could remove the Adlan’s wedge, and bring back once blessings of Heaven upon our political Israel. I may be mistaken, Mr. Chaiiman, in one great object 1 hope to aid in securing by my vote. lam for peace—an honor able and lasting peace—heart and soul ; and short of a sacrifice of principle, J dare not sacrifice; short of a surrender of rights, which would be degradation— I would be willing to adopt any honora ble course to give and secure that peace to a distracted country. 1 snail take tnis step, and give this vote, hoping, if it suc ceed, that peace may come. As it is, 1 know full well we have it not. The old vessel is cabled fast to the shore, as if to a “body of death,” striking heavily on the rocks that surround her. She cannot part that cable, and go out to seek deep er and safer waters. There she is, bound by this Gordian knot. Asa pilot or mariner on board, it is on me to join in deciding what shall be done. It may be a dangerous attempt, for serious threats are made ; but, risking all, I would cut that Gordian knot, turn loose the ship, hoist sail and strike out for more quiet waters, where the winds of heaven may fill her sails, and send her on her way re joicing. Let the deed be done; and give the patriot’s prayer—God speed her, and send her safe deliverance! Etowah Manufacturing and Mining Company. Among the pioneers in the development of the mineral, agricultural and manufactur ing resources of tne South, Mark A. Coor kr occupies a position which many who have distinguished themselves in the walks of lit erature and statesmanship might envy. To him principally belongs the credit of build ing up the Etowah Manufacturing and Min ing Company,comprising important works in connection with the Iron, wheat, coal, and gold rescources of Upper Georgia. These works were commenced in the year 1845, and embrace Ist. A Rolling Mill for the varieties of Merchant Iron: with a nail factory, spike machine, and all necessary apparatus for building and fitting up, with shops, ware houses, operative houses, hotel, store, &c‘, at tached. The rolling mill makes from six to eight tons per day. 2d. A Blast Furnace and Foundry, with all the needful patterns, shops, office rooms, and houses thereto attaobed. Its products are hollow ware, heavy machinery, and pig metal. . 3. A Merchant Flouring mill for wheat, with warehouse, cooper shop, hotel, and op erative houses therewith connected, making from 150 to 200 barrels flour per day. 4th. Two Grist Mills for Corn. sth. Two Saw Mills for Lumber. 6th. A Coal Mine for the supply of fuel to the rolling mill. 1,000 acres of timber min eral lands in Dade county. All these operations are, and have been,in successful movement, for seven or eight years. The motive power is furnished by the Et owah river, which would also furnish ample water-power for the largest manufacturing town in New England. The iron ore is abun- dan t, and of the best quality, while wood, timber and labor is cheap and abundant Maj. Cooper is now building a railroad from the Western & Atlantic road to the rolling mills at a distance of 4 miles. Two miles of the road are nearly completed. He is also building anew blast furnace in sight of his flour mill, and immediately on the rail road. The public have been made familar with the obstacles this indefatigable man has encountered and overcome in bringing so extensive a business up to its present profit able condition. During the late pressure in money matters he has literally kept his work in full blcut, employing from 400 to 600 hands. There is no place in your whole country more admirably adapted for the suoessfusll prosecution of manufacturing enterprises of every kind, and especially those requiring iron, cotton, wool, wood, and cheap labor. The valley lands are fertile, and offer ample agricultural rescources to sustain a dense population. No country on the map is bet ter adapted to the growth of fruit, and es pecially to the vine. The scenery of the Etowah valley is attrac tion. We have spent days—when worn out by over-work in town —in recreation|among its wild hills and bounding streams; and have seen no region surpassed by it in all the attractions of pure air, salubrious climate and fine water. We could write columns on the natural attractions and resources of this section, but our purpose was simply to call attention to the extent and success of a Georgia enterprise, and to throw our mite in the scale of popular appreciation which we are too apt to withhold from those truly great and noble characters who are bringing out the boundless resources which God has bestowed on our old Commonwealth. —Augusta Dispatch. Tin Cash Ststem. —Among the many pa pers throught the country that have adop ted the cash system, we now number the Louisville Journal. In its issue of the 7th insL, the editor says: “Fully satisfied tlxat the cash system is beneficial alike to subscriber and to publisher, we shall hereafter discon tinue all papers when the time expires for which the the subscriptions are paid. Our losses from removals and other causes are, in the aggregate, very large, notwithstand ing the small price of the subscription. In addition to the vast circulation of our paper in the Western and Southern States, we have subscribers in nearly all the other States ofthe Union, and, unless they pay voluntari ly, the expense of collection absorbs almost the whole amount of the subscription. In order to induce prompt payment, we have re duced the price of our paper. Under the cash system we shall be able, as we intend to do, to make our paper still more interest ing and valuable to every class of our subscrib ers than ever before. This notice is given to that subscribers may know the reason they do not receive their papers after the expiration of the time for which they have beeu paid. “Uniformity in this system is ensential to its successful aplication, and we are sure that those of our subscribers who have always been prompt in theirjpayments will willingly acquiesce in their being brought within the operation of the rule and recognise its propriety. If their papers should be stop ped at the expiration of the time for which they have paid, they should remember that such a course is necessary in order to insure regularity in the business of our office.” Thk Hand ov J ustice. —From the Phila delphia correspondence of the New York Tribune, we extract the following facts: “The avenging hand of criminal justice has at last fallen on the men through whom the Bank of Pennsylvania is belived to have been prostrated. Allibone and his bosom friend and fellow-Director, Thomas A. New hall, have been indicted by the Grand Jury for their conduct in the premises, and we shall now have the veil lifted for the first time from a long catalogue of offences which have heretofore been shrouded in impene trable mystery. The District Attorney went quietly before the Grand Jury with his wit nesses, procured the finding of true bills without difficulty, and then struck the par ties dumb with confusion by an unheralded conspired together to cheat and defraud the bank of some two hundred and forty thou sand dollars. It is charged that Newhall ow ed the bank one hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars on his simple checks, which Allibone counted as cash, and that to pay this indebtedness Newhall drew a bill of ex change on Rosstein & Cos., of Manchester, for fifty thousand pounds sterling, which Al libone received on behalf of the bank, at the same time paying to Newhall the surplus of one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars. The allegation also is that at the time this bill of exchange was given to Allibone, New hall had no funds in the hands of Rosstein & Cos., and that Allibone knew it. The bill was accepted, but came back protested, and the bank is now sued for the amount. Alli bone, happening to be in the city on Satur day, on a visit from his quiet cottage farm in New Jersey, was promptly arrested, and contrived to find bail.

Fair Playlet a Jewel. We are for fair play in politics as well as in everything else. “Give the devil his due” is a good motto even for Christians, which even now, we are pleased to know they are pretty generally acting upon, and are every where “givinghim soot” Southern Democratic papers are attributing to certain six Southern Americans who vo ted for the Crittenden Amendment in the House, the defeat of the Senate’s Kansas bill. To that we say, “lay on McDuff, (fee.” Its all right. We have as little feeling for them as if they had voted for the Green Amendment No Southerner, Democrat or American, should have voted for either, not even as a choice of evils. We wish to see the lash laid on every Southerner in the House who voted against the Quitman prop osition, for Green Amendments, Senate Bills or what not It is the only truly Southern proposition up to this time submitted in the House. It received seventy-two votes only, twenty-five Southern men voting against it, of whom Aleck Stephens may be put down as leader. We do hope these Southern organs of the party which has under it pecu liar guardianship the rights and honor of the South, will reserve something of the contents of the vials of wrath they are emptying upon the devoted heads of the doomed Southern Americans, to pour upon the heads of those twenty-five Southerners who voted against Quitman's direct proposition in the House, to strip the Senate’s Kansas Bill of the Green Amendment. And still, that they will not let the ardor of their resentment cool down until they have stripped the twenty-two National Northern Democrats, with whom these six Southern Americans voted for the Crittenden Amendment, of their coat of hy pocrisy, and visited condign punishment up on them. “Oh for • whip In every honest (Democratic editor’s) hand, To lash them (the twenty-two) naked through the land!” And still, in the future progress of this Lecompton affair, should it be made mani fest that the seventy-two who voted for the Quitman proposition to strip the Kansas Bill of every thing that bore a semblance to “in tervention” or “interference,” and to shape it for an unconditional and unqualified ad mission of Kansas, were insincere or cow ardly, and intended finally to yield their po sition before the advancing foe, we propose to our Democratic confreres, who will by this time have wearied of chastising, to turn them over to us. As they comprise the on ly true Southern-rights men in Congress the proceedings upon this question have yet brought to lignt, with whom we can claim the least degree of sympathy, we should deem it a specially delightful task to pour out the vials of our accumulated wrath upon their traitorous heads.— K 0.

Mr. English's Proposition Accepted. The Conference Committee Agree! Special Despatch to the N. Y. Express: Washington, April 20. English and Stevens, from the House Commt tee, and Green and Tlunter (Senate) have agreed upon a Report—in substance what was stated yesterday in English’s idea. The agreement submits Lecompton to the people of Kansas. II a majority there are lor it, Kansas is to be a Stato under the Lecompton Constitution. If a majority are against it, Kansas will then have to wait until a census shows her to have 100,000 population—the number in the States for a Representative in the House. To this strong temptation for the people of Kansas to accept the Constitution, are added, now, Calhoun’s count-out of a Free State Log., islature, and the President’s declaration, that Lecompton can be got rid of) by a majority, whenever the people will it. There is also added another temptation, in enormous grants of Land to the new State. The voting in Kansas, for or against the Lo compton Constitution, is to be under the direc tion of the Territorial Attorney General, Isaacs, —the Governor, Denver, —the Secretary of the Treasury, (Federal officers) —and the President of the State Council, and Speaker of Assembly, likely to be Free State men. As Messrs. Seward and Howard do not agree with this Report, the great body of Anti-Le comptonites will follow them —but the Doug lasites will be likely to go with English. If, then, the South generally vote for the Report, and with their confreres, the Bill is passed, and there will be an end of the question. But Garnett, of Va., (Dem.,) Eustis of La. (Am.,) and others have declared before they would not vote for any change of programme. We shall soon see what they will do. Hunter’s agreement indicates that the South generally will go with English. There is great excitement about this new pro gramme. Tbe Kansas Bill. Prospects of Mr. Enolisu’s Compromise.

On Saturday last, at Atlanta, Georgia, after Judge Bull entered the room, and Court having been duly opened, the prisoner was brought in and took his seat, with his father by his side, immediately in front of the Bench. The poor young man—for he does not seem more than 21 —appeared terribly affected by hisimiserable situation. He wept most of the time during the delivery of the sentence, and his frame seemed overcome with the internal agony that was writhing it. The prisoner being arraigned, was asked if he had any thing to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced'on him. He stood up and replied that he had notliing. The Judge, in sentencing him to death, re marked, “Radford Crocket, you have been ar raigned for the crime of murder—and you have voluntarily confessed to having committed one of the most revolting deeds in nature. It is an inexorable law—both nuumn mill uivine—tnst “whoso sheddeth man’s blood by man shall his blood bo shed.” Every principle of law, and every thing in morals demands the penalty for the commission of an offence for which the an nals of crime contain scarce a parallel. I have grown old, and heard of many awful murders, but never before have I known one so atrocious, and so utterly defenceless as thia “Unhappy man, you have now nothing left for you to do, but to prepare for a future state, the things of this world are as nothing to you, your only hope is at the bar of God. Spotted as your soul may be with blood, there is still hope of pardon there. The sentence is ‘That you be taken from the bar of this Court, to the common Jail of the county, and there kept in close confinement, until Friday, the 18th day of June next, fVom whence you are then to be taken, by the Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff of the county, to tbe oommon place of execution, and between the hours of ten o’clock in the forenoon, and two o'clock in the afternoon, you are to be hung by the neck until you are dead. And may God have mercy on your soul’ ” The prisoner, on the conclusion, was audibly heard to say, ‘’May God have mercy on me.” Crocket was immediately removed from the Court to the Jail, and the Court was then ad journed for tbe term. —Atlanta Intelligencer.

The wheat and oat crops in this region are said to be promising much better than usual, and we are glad to learn that a eensiderable quantity has been sown —more than ordi narily. Com has come up remarkably well, and the stand is geneally very good. Cot ton, also, appears to be coming up well.— The young fruit is very abundant.— Col- Xumbus Enquirer. liimeksi Amount of Monet on Deposit in this Country.— ln the banks of the four great cities of this country—New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and New Orleans— there were last week on deposit no less than one hundred and twenty-eight and a quarter million of dollars, an increase on the previous week of nearly two millions of dollars. This does not show any great re vival of business in the country at large. In Boston, previous to the late financial crisis, the amount on deposit in the various banks of the city was not much over four teen millions of dollars ; it is now twenty and a half millions. The specie in the banks of the four cities last week was fifty-seven millions five hundred thousand dollars, the previous week, fifty-five millions eight hun dred thousand dollars—an increase of oue millitm and a half in one week. *ln Boston, within the past six months, the amount of specie in the banks liaa about doubled. —Boston Traveller , of April 17. Three Men Drowned. —The Augusta “Con stitutionalist” contains the following account of an accident which occurred a few days ago, some miles above that city. “One of the pole boats, owned by Mr. MiCurry, who resides, we believe, in Elbert co., and which had been employed in conveying cotton and other produce to this market, and also for the purpose of transport ing goods and merchandise to persons residing on the river, was capsized by coming in collis ion with a rock, in a very swift runniug portion of the stream, A man by the name of Masters, and two negro men were drowned, Goods to the value of about two thousand dollars were lost. “It is stated that the persons who were drowned were active and expert swimmers, and the only person on the boat, whose life was saved, was a man totally unable to swim; but was fortunate in obtaining a plank, or some other buoyant article, and reached the shore. From Tux as. — We received yesterday Gal veston papers of the 17th instant. A recent traveler in the N .rthen Texas, mentions as a natural curiosity in the valley at the foot of the Canadian mountain, “a large ! bed of natural brick, which are about three times the size of ordinary brick, and are as perfect a3 though they were manufactured in the best arranged brick kiln in the eoun try. The 7 \xan learns that much damage has been done to some parts of tli; comtry ar round San Antonio by the grasshoppers. The Trinity is so high as to cover al! the lands about Liberty. The Gazette says that on the North and S>uth sides of the town the water is swimming in all the low places. The Goliad Express learns from a gentle man residing in Karnes county, that his en tire crop of com, cotton and wheat had all been destroyed by the grasshoppers. He states that he had eighty acres in corn, fully knee high, all of which was eaten to the ground in two days. The Gonzales Inquirer of the 10th has considerable to say about the grasshopper,and gives an amusing account of the invasion of that city, and the attempt of the citizena to resist the encroachment Everybody turned out—men, women and children,white and black, little niggers and chickens, editors and devils —everybody, with “fire and sword,” brushes and brooms, blankets and buckets, carried on the deadly conflict, but all to no avail ; the hoppers hopped on, and the defending forces were obliged to beat an inglorious retreat leaving, the barbarians in undisturbed posession of the conquered city A Queer Concern. —ln Kansas they have a paper with one Republican, one American, and one Democratic editor, each of whom has a portion of the sheet in which to ex pound his views. It appears that this plan has found imitators: The Bureau county (111.) Democrat is a stock concern, principally owned by Doug las men, but edited by a Lecompton post master. In order to meet the views of both parties, an arrangement, as we learn from the Chicago Tribune, ‘ has been effected, in which the editor is allowed four columns on the editorial ptge, through which he chases Douglas, and the stockholders have four col umns on the same page in which they “pun ish” Buchanan. Under its present manage ment it is a funny sheet, but singularly typi cal of the condition of the party from which it takes its name.” Consui.au Appointments. —The following appointments of Consuls by the President have been confirmed by the Senate : Samuel Ward, of New York, to Bristol, England.

Some $12,000 to $14,000 will probably cover the actual damage, leaving'out the loss from derangement and suspension of business. Capt. Ross is expected home imme diately from New York, whither he wont a lew days since, to purchase supplies, when he will determine whether he will rebuild or not.

The large charts are 25 eents, the smaller 10 cents eaob. On exam ination of these charts, we find them well worth the trifle asked for them, and the purchaser will have the additional pleasure of aiding a worthy child of silence. Spiritualism in Macon. For the first time, in our life, about three weeks dnee, we were permitted to witness , some of the strange Phenomena called Spiritual \ Manifestations. Those consist of rapping, table tippirg, communications said to be from the ‘ spirit-land through a writing melium, and other visible evidences of the truth of the doctrine, known as Spiritualism, by those who h ive be come investigators and devotees of the myste rious science. Spiritual circles, we learn, have been in existence in Macon, for several years past, but we have had no opportunity, till re ceutly, to investigate tb© subject, and, indeed, have never felt interest enough therein to seek any inform ition concerning it. Having our curiosity, however, excited by some street rumors, relative to the strange events transpiring in our midst, we accepted tbe polite invitation of a friend to visit a Circle, which meets weekly, in the South-west part of the city, and to judge for ourselves concerning the exhibitions presented. And now, with the permission of those most interested, we will mention some things which we have seen at these meetings:— The ordinary manifestations consist of rap pings of the feet of a small circular pine table around which the members of the circle sit, with their hands lightly laid oil the surface. One rap, in answer to a question asked of the spirits present, signifies no —two doubt or I don't know, and three yes. Sometimes the request is made to lean the table over into the lap of one of the circle, and it is done. We have seen tho table move in every possible direction, on one, two, or three feet, sometimes slowly and again more violently. We have seen it so fixed on the floor, that a strong man could not lift it and hold it'up a moment. We have seen it keep time with music, precisely according to the slowuess or speed of the measure of the hymn sung, increasing or diminishing as the tune was grave or lively. This is a very common manifestation. Another thing we witnessed was, throwing off from the table a gentleman of any size or weight, with the ease that a book could be tipped from it. But the most extraordinary manifestations are through she writing medium, Mrs. 11., who is a worthy, pious lady, of irreproachable char acter. She writes with a bandage closely press ed over her eyes, and in every instance in dif ferent hand-writing for each spirit that is said to be communicating. One writes a running hand, and it is written swiftly—another writes a perpendicular hand, or one approximating a back-slope, and with more or less speed.— The medium, however, generally writes with great regularity on tbe ruled lines of the paper, and when her penoil reaches the right edge of the sheet, invariably stops and retraces itself to the left edge, and to the beginning of the suc ceeding line, as it were a thing of life and intu ition. Os the nature of these communications, we have not space nor 1 ime now to speak in detail- Nor have we yet had any opportunity of test ing the truth of such in any way. All wa can say is, that the tone of all the writings we have seen from under the medium’s hand, is eminent ly moral and good, consisting of friendly advice and pious counsel to the living, and full of con solation to the afflicted and bereaved. From the evidence of others, who are enti tled to the most implicit belief) we think there can be no question that the spirits of the de parted are permitted to hold communion with the inhabitants of earth. Events and incidents have been communicated, which were known only to persons receiving tho communication, without the possibility of such events being known to the medium or any one else living. Statements of the bodily condition of .persons, huudredj of miloa been verified to the letter. The cause of sick ness baa been investigated and a prescription of tho appropriate remedy written out In one case, a remarkable cure has recently been effec ted by the application of the remedy so com municated. A young woman was attacked with Inflammatory Rheumatism, which grew worse and worse, till, for two weeks, she was helpless as an infant. Her joints were all stiff. inflamed and distorted She could not raise her hands to her head, nor help herself in any way. An excellent physician attended her but coyld not afford relief. At this juncture, a pre scription was asked of the spirits and obtained. The remedy was applied, for the first time, about 4 o’clock, P. M. of the day, and at 6 P. M., on visiting her room, to the astonishment of her friends, she was found with hands raised to the head, and attempting to comb her hair.— The next morning she was out of bed, and with help, walked into an adjoining room. In two or three days after, and with a few more applications of the remedy, which is simple, she was entirely restored, and has remained in good health ever since, or for several weeks to the present time. A dozen or more credible witnesses stand ready to prove the facts in this case, as now stated, nevertheless, we confess we are not able to understand the matter. — We can bear witness to wliat we have seen with our eyes, but cannot say that we are a believer even in what all our senses have veri fied, as facts —indisputable facts. But so it was with many of the manifesta tions of Animal Magnetism. We saw the Phenomena but could not account for them, and all the conclusion we have yet been able to arrive at, in relation to either, is, that there are “more things in heaven and earth, than are dreampt of in our philosophy.” We therefore await further developements. 4 Voice from Kansas. C. H. Hamilton. Esq., well known to many of our readers as an ardent and, perhaps, ultra Southerner and Democrat, writes from Kansas, to the Cassville Standard, as follows: Dear Of.x. We learn that General Cal houn has commissioned the free State candidates of Leavenworth county. This was done to save the Administration, by securing the admis sion of Kansas uuder the Lecompton Constitu tion. It would have been better for us to have had Kansas rejected. Stephens and Toombs, it is reported, had much to do in this bargain. I have no idea a single pro-slavery man will be allowed to take his seat in our Legislature. Our State Government, in a few weeks, will pass into the hands of the Abolition party. The last pro-slavery mau will be driven from Kansas, or murdered. This is the result of party. Such Know Nothing papers as the Chronicle and Citizen, oppose us, because, to oppose us was to oppose Mr. Buchanan. Ste phens and Toombs will, by a bargain, drive us from the Territory, because by this bargam with Calhoun, they save the 11 Great National Democratic party. “ We beg pardon of the gallant Captain, for saying that he has mistaken the position of the , “Citizen” on the Kansas question. We have J never opposed Kansas because of opposition to Buchanan. We have opposed Gov. Walker and the President for wishing to submit the Constitution, framed by the Lecompton Oonven ’ tion, back again to the voters of Kansas—but that we have, in any way, contributed to make Kansas a free State, or to the driving out of the pro-slavery men Irom the Territory is s:mp.y absurd. Capt. H. should be better posted. He differs, widely, from his own party in Georgia, when he denounces Lee imptou and declares that it would have been better to have had Kan sas rejected, thau to admit, her under that in. strument, merely to “save the . Administratioih” What does this imply but that he is opposed to the Administration and to its pet measure, Le compton? We do not understand what the Captain is driving at, it that be not his position. However, his shaft, directed at the “Citizen,” falls short of the mark, especially, as we have had very little to say on the subject, either way. And had we fought against Kansas, we never should have placed the same estimate on our j influence, as seems to have been attributed po J us, in the extract quoted from Oapt. Hamilton 8 i letter.
