The Cleveland Herald of Monday last
contains the following very interesting
account of a surgical operation upon a
lunatic, which resulted in the entire res
toration of his reason. The man was
thrown from a wagon, about five years
since, fracturing his skull against a fence
stake, the injury bringing on violent de
rangement, which, became permanent —
H was taken to the Lunatic Asylum,
where he remained a considerable time,
until he was discharged as Incurable,
and finally remanded to the county jail
where he remained for about a year past.
His wife engaged the services of Dr.
Thayer to attempt the cure of her unfor
tunate husband. After examining the
oase, Dr. T. found a portion of the skull
much depressed, and resolved to remove
if. On entering the cel! for that pur
pose, on Friday, the man became great
ly enraged, and poured out volleys of
execration on the doctor, as though he
was aware of the business he came on.
At the order of Jailor Frazee, the luna
tio laid down on his bed, when he was
immediately confined, and copious doses
of chloroform administered until he be
came perfectly insensible. The depressed
portion of the skull—forming a piece a
little larger than a quarter of a dollar
-—which had been pressing on the brain
was then taken out, and found to have
thickened considerably on one side. The
head was then bound with a bandage,
saturated with water, and the patient left
to recover from his stupor.
On Saturday morning he awoke, rose
from his bed and walked up and down
the room, perfectly rational. He com
plained that the bandages, which for
some reason that he didn't understand
had been put on his head, hurt hitn, and
asked the attendant if they might be
loosened. As soon as relieved from the
pressure, he lay down on his bed and
fell asleep. On his again awaking, he
was asked if he vroijd like his wifo to
see him. She had a child but a few
days before his accident, and he now ex
pressed a doubt whether i-he would be
able to get out of bed. On her enter
ing he was astonished to find her so well
after her recent illness, and feared that
her health would suffer from exposing
herself so early. He asked after th*
child and wished to see it, but was put
off with an evasive answer until it was
thought advisable to explain matters to
him. He then commenced talking of
things that happened five } ears ago, as
if having occurred but yesterday. It
was a Ion? time before he could be made
aware of his long illness and insanity,
and, when at last convinced of it, stated
that he had no recollection of anything
other than a minty kind of dream about
his being sick. He recommended his
wile to go home to her friends until he
was well, as her stay in Cleveland would
be expensive, and talked perfectly ra
tional on other subjects. He is now in
a fair way of recovery, and will proba
bly do well unless inflammation should
supervene.
Ak Antediluvian Well— Whcse
work is it? —lu the town of Hopkins,
Whiteside county, Illinois, is what is
termed an antediluvian well, whose ex
istence will probably puzzle geologists
and the theorists to account for. The
facts about the well, as related by a cor
respondent of a Chicago paper seems to
be these -.
Mr. Finch had occasion to dig a well
and the workmen having dug down about
twenty-seven feet from the surface, in
the usual prairie soil, came upon a stra
tum of black vegetable soil, containing
the remains of wood, in a tolerably good
state of preservation, branches of trees
resembling cedar, Ate. Near the lower
edge of this stratum the workmen came
upon a wall made of flat stones; which,
upon examination, was soon found to be
circular, and of about the size of an or
dinary well. One side of this wall was
found to be about a foot and a half high
er then the other. It was also found
that the workmen had not dug down ex
actly over the newly discovered well, but
a few inches aside. They pursued their
investigations and found that the weil
was eight to ten feet deep, and built in a
substantial manner, it was filled with
the black vegetable soil and remains of
the cedar found at the top of the well.—
Upon clearing out this soil and muck,
there was Abundance of g*Hd water.
There was also found at the bottom of
the weil about enough of stone to make
the top of the wail of equal height. The
soil exterior to the wall was entirely dif
ferent from that in the interior, rt-sem- ,
tiling somewhat the soil overlaying the j
three feet of black vegetable soil. Up* j
.n this old wall the workmen built the:!*
new well. We should have gone down
intti the well to see fur ourselves, but
ihe recent rains had filled the w’ell with
e tea tV t of w ater.
The for- going tacts are vouched lor
iiKn who were in the well au*l .\atn-
U.cd it before the new wall Was laid, aid
immediately after the rubbish was re
moved from the old well.

MBS. CROSBY'S FRIENDS.
Reader, did you ever hear Mrs. Crosby
speak of her friends before she had that leg
aoy left her ? You never did ! She is the
most benevolent and unsuspecting old lady
you ever saw. Credulous to a fault ; always
looking at the brightest side of things: and
placing charitable constructions on the most
faring inconsistencies.
I Just listen to what she says:
“ I don’t know why it is, that people
make such a to do about having no friends.
I'm sure I've always had plenty, and very
, good ones too. I remember when my poor
husband died, and left all his money to his
creditors, what a hard time I had, scuffling
to make a l.ving by my needle, and what a
comfort it was to me to have such dear kind
friends! I m sure, I don’t know what I
have done without them ! They were
always running in to see me, and to ask if I
would please do a little bit of sewing for them
that they really would be so much obliged,
as it would cost them a dollar to put it out.
And when I did the sewing, they would
j take it as such a favor, and seem so grateful,
that I was always glad to oblige them a dol
lar’s worth. They were so good about send
ing me things too. There was Mrs. R who
sent me the whole fore quarter of a lamb!
because, as she afterwards told me, she had
more than enough for family use, and the
weather was so warm she was afraid to
keep it T;ien there wa Mrs. S., what a
considerate soul she was, to be sure! She
told me she knew, as I lived in town I
could'nt get fruits without purchasing, and
I might send to her orchard and get a bas
ket full every week—that she had no cows
at home then, and no hogs or pigs to feed,
and I should have as many as I wanted.—
Heaven bless her.
My other friends were ju9t as kind when
it lay in their power to be so, for whenever
I sent a small basket to them for peaches
they would either send it back empty, say
ing they were ‘just out,’ or would send it full
of green ones, as the ‘best they had.’ But
I use to wonder sometimes where they got
all tha nice ripe ones they’d send to the rich
w idow over the way, though that was none
of my business, you know.”
I nsephisticated old lady! She never
paused to think that money could buy friends
•s w ell as fruits!
“ Whenever I was sick, dear, good old
Mrs. M. would invariably volunteer to send
me some nice chicken soup, the very next
day. but poor old thing she invariably for
got it.”
They invited me very often to dine with
then:, when they had no oilier company,
aud to help make up their children’s winter
clothing.
And since I have grown old, and almost
blind, they take into consideration my lone
liness aud some of them are kind enough to
come and dine with me every day. ‘rtiank
heaven, I am now able to give them the best
the market affords, and do.
Taik about having no friends indeed !
I’m sure every body has as many as they
tan shake a stick at, if they would only
think so!” MOLLIE MYRTLE. ’

While the Thirty-third or Welling
ton’s regiment was quartered in Canada,
the officers of the mess table saw the
doors open and a figure pass through the
room. He was deadly paie, and was re
cognized as a brother, Wynard by name,
known to be then in England, on sick
leave. There being butoneexit, and as he
did not return, someone of the party
looked into the room he entered, but
found no trace. Not merely one, but
all saw the figure. Some took notes of
the incident; and In the ‘ log book’ of
the regiment, (if a nautical phrase is ad
missible in matters purely military,) may
be seen a written statement of the facts.
News of his death, afterwards received,
proved the hour of his dissolution and ap
pearing to have been simultaneous. An
instance similar to the Berrsford case,
and others, I could mention, where doubts
have been entertained as to the possibil
ty of a denizen of a higher sphere ap
pearing to his beloved ones on earth, oc
curring to a friend of my own, and to
the companion of his early youth, who,
having obtained a cadet-ship, went to In
dia. His story runs thus: Several
years ago, the former was,to wards evening
travelling across a wide barren heath.
Suddenly by his side iu the vehicle, was
seeu the figure of his playmate. He
knows not why, but he experienced
neither suzprise nor dread. Happen
ing to turn his her-d from him to the
horse, and on looking again, the appari
tion had vanished! And now an an in.
deacnbable feeling of awe thrilled
through him, and remembering their
conversaiion together, he doubted not,
but that his friend was at that moment
dead; and that, in his appearing to him
he w?s come in th** tulfliinx iit of their
mutual promise, in order to remove all
pre-existing doubts. By the next India .
mail was received intelligence of his i
death, showing the exact c-oincideoce as ■
to the titne of the two events, and bring 1
ing home at once conviction to the mind j
of the bereaved. One conclusion is evi

Mr. Adams, who lived near Tones, open
the end curtain of her bed and look at
her. and that she was conscious that he
was dead. A few hours after a lady
brought a letter announcing his death,
at the very time that she had seen him.
I learned afterwards that her husband
had destroyed himself, and that she said
she heard a pistol shot, and the ball roll

Tbs Supreme Court Decision.
Mr. Editor : The Supreme Court at its
last session in Macon, in the case Robison vs.
Beall. (Lumpkin J., dissenting) decided :
That upon the expiration of a Bank Charter
by its own limitation, the debts due to and
from it, are extinguished.
Upon this the press, and to the extent of
its influence, the public, has become remark
ably exercised. Even covert hints at cor
ruption in the Judges, who made the decis
ion have been indulged in, while it is assum
ed as settled that it is not the law.
It is conceded that these editors who have
indulged iu these denunciations of the Court
and its decision, and thus essay to enlighten
public opinion, are wise and learned in all
the law. And it is perhaps less with the
hope of showing that they are, or can be
wrong-—than with the hazard of exposing
the ignorance of Blackstone and Kent, and
Story and Lumpkin, that the publication of
this brief communication is asked.
The debts due to, and from a Bank, are
extinguished by its dissolution or the expi
ration of its charter. This is the naked de
cision, and, is it the law ?
“ A corporate grant is indeed only during
the life of the corporation, which may en
dure forever; but when the life is determin
ed by the dissolution of the body politic, the
grantor takes it back by reversion, as in eve
ry other grant for life.
“ The debts of a Corporation either to, or
from it, are totally extinguished by its dissolu
tion. so that the members thereof cannot re
cover, or be charged with them in their nat
ural capacities.”
It is thus that Judge Blackstone answers
the question. See 1 Black, Com. 484.
“ According to the settled law of the land,
where there is no special statute provision
to the contrary, upon the civil death of a
corporation, all its real estate remaining un
sold reverts back to the original grantor aud
his heirs. The debts due to and from the
corporation are all extinguished. Neither the
■stockholders nor the directors, or trustees of
the corporation can recover these debts, or
be charged with them, in their natural ca
pacities.’’
Aud it is thus that Chancellor Kent an
swers. See 2 Kent. Com. 307.
“ A corporation by the very terms, and
nature of its political existence, is subject to
a dissolution by a surrender of its corporate
franchises, and by a forfeiture of them for
wilful mis-U3er, and non-user. Every cred
itor must be presumed to understand the na
ture and incidents of such a body politic, and
to contract with reference to them. And
it would be a doctrine new in law that the
existence of a private contract of the corpo
ration should force upon it a perpetuity ot
existence contrary to public policy, and the
nature and objects of its charter.
And thus it is that C. J. Story, after hav
ing recognized, comments upon the rule as
laid down by Blackstone and Kent.
See Mamma vs. the Pat. Corn. 8 Peters
281.
u Upon the threshhold of this discussion
we are met with the common law principle,
that upon the dissolution of a corporation the
debts due to and from it are extinguished. —
A doctrine which results necessarily from
the fact that the corporation having expired,
whether, by its own limitation, by surren
der, abandonment of its members, or judg
ment of dissolution, there is no one in law
to sue and sued.”
And thus Judge Lumpkin, Warner and
Nesbit concurring answer, in Hightower,
vs. Thornton, 8 Ga. Rep. 492.
And again he answers with the same con
currence:
“ Why so much time and talent, and labor
and learning have been employed to establish
a proposition which nobody denies, viz:—
That the debts of a corporation either to or
from it, are extinguished by its dissolution, I
am at a loss to comprehend. Certain it is
that it was recognized by this court, at this
place two years ago, as it had been in more
than one occasion previously.”
See Thornton vs. Lane, 11 Ga. Rep. 492.
The Hon. Judge's assumption that “no
body denies” this doctrine may have been
made, for the only reason that the sapient
editors of the present day had not enlighten
ed the legal world by their opinions.
But again :
“ Moreover I agree that the elementary
writers, both in England and the United
States, do every where assert distinctly that
the debts to, and from a corporation, are ex
tinguished by its dissolution, unless prevented
by the terms of the charter itself, or by al
iunde legislation. And that in the Courts of
both countries this doctrine may now be
considered too well settled to be overthrown
or shaken. Aud so totally extinguished that
the members of the corporation cannot re
cover or be charged with them in their nat
ural capacities”
Judge Lumpkin, Stams concurring in
Moultrie vs. Smiley, eL al. 16 Ga. Rep. 294.
Indeed, Mr. Editor, Judge Lumpkin might
well have added that this principle, as the
law, has been asserted, maintained, upheld,
andatlmmiiuered bv every Judge who has sat
npo*’ the English and American bench, since
the origin of corporations. Ard what more
•.hn this have Judges McDonald and B<-n
----ninsr done ?
Instructed by the light of ages, and by the
, repeated and emphatic recognition of their
’ i edeci -- ■< ;pon our owt Supreme Bench,
i they have decided “ that upon the cxpira
i trr o, a Bank Charter by its own limitation
! the debts due to, and from it, are extinguisb
| erV’ thu?, but giving effect to what had
! beeu so repeatedly and emphatically admit-:
ted to be the law, even by our own Supreme
Bench. And yet the - ffort is to hold ti em
up to public censure and reproach, because
they have overruled a decision of their pre
decessor*.
Now as to the application of the law. be
cause of certain provisions, and certain at
tempts at aliunde legsjation, differences of
opinion do exist between the members of
the present and the former Supreme Bench.
It is uo part of the purpose of this com
munication to discuss these differences. That
the Judges who made the decisions com
plained of are fully able to vindicate its cor
rectness, and will do it, I have no doubt
It remains to be seen whether those edit
ors who have adventured to assail and de
nounce, as not law, the principle upon which
it rests, will give this brief communication a
place in their columns, and adhere to the
maxim, “ Fiat Justitia.”
Cure for Bronchitis. —One of our

it himself, and seen it tried on others
and has never known it to fail in effect,

For the (Georgia Citizen. 1
THAIKS.
On the 29th of August, 1853, the President
of the Macon A Western Railroad, kindly ten
dered to me a situation on that Road as Con
ductor. Ijmorant of the arrowing charms inci
dent to such an occupation, I gratefully accept
ed —little dreaming that an engagement ot five
years would make me the victimized subject of
Railroad excitement which to-day finds me.—
And as it has been said, there can never be an
effect without its cause, and as this attachment
which I now cherish for the Road is the direct
result of some cause or causes known to myself,
I desire humbly to express my obligation to
each and all of these, just in proportion as they
have been felt and enjoyed.
To the public generally, I feel greatly indebt
ed for much of that agreeable success which has
attended me ; and to the ladies especially, do I
feel that I owe thing. All my efforts to
aooomm<>date and please have been timely and
kindly rewarded by them —that too, by the rar
est compensation, a kind word or a gracious
smile. That which would have otherwise been
monotonous and dull, has been rendered by
them a scene of coutinual bliss and enjoyment.
The same sweet influences, which a constant
association with them is seen to exert over eve
ry other avocation in life, is also Well calculated
to infuse romance into Railroads, and inspire its
youthful operatives with feelings of interest
akin to love. To pleasant and varied indeed
have been the circumstances which have mark
ed my career, that the period of five years just
elapsed—wheu reverted to in my mind. seems
more like a fairy dream than a business reality.
Fain would I anticipate a succession of happier
days, but my own observation and experience
will not justify the indulgence of the fond hope.
With this period has passed away my youth,
and with that goes the romance of life. To
those who are less familiar with the business,
this perfect devotion on my part to Railroad
life, may appear as false or ill chosen; and tru
ly there is a wild infatuation about it, but the
delusion is well founded. Those who think dif
ferently have no conception of the variety with
which this portion of my lile has been spiced.
But the spell must be broken. To-morrow I
ring my signal bell for the last time, and the
thought of bidding tarewell to so much that has
so long been a source ol the wildest delight is
perfectly sickening in itself. And to those of
my friends who have contributed so much to
this enjoyment, let me offer this last grateful
assurance—that your kindness has not been in
vain. Every bright flower which has ever beeD
strewn, by tender hands, upon my hurried little
pathway, shall bloom sweetly again in memo
ry’s garden, in after days. For.if there is in re..
trospection’B chain, ODelink which socially binds
me stronger than all she rest, it is that which
has been beautified and strengthened by my as
sociations with these.
To my fellow operatives I bid a reluctant ‘
farewell. “We met as strangers, and we part I
as friends.” Our relations have been charac- j
terized only by pleasing excitement, labor and
love. Muny little incidents, trivial in them
selves, yet important to us, have transpired,
which will always afford us pleasure and satis
faction to contemplate. Like most Railroad men,
we have been a world in and of ourselves; and
that little world will continue to exist in the
hearts of each one long after he shall have been
removed from the sphere of its existing cares
and dangerous responsibilities.
But after all, he to whom my gratitude most
freely flows has not been mentioned. There
are those to whom we can always look, in pros
perity, with confidence and pleasure. These are
friends from policy. There are others however,
who, from a positive disposition to appreciate
merit and not circumstances, are ever ready to
extend aid and influence when and wherever it
will be appreciated—men who can be gentlemen
in authority—a rare commodity in these days
when positions are made to honor their men—
not men their position. Os such a character I
uow speak—to such a man I am indebted for
that spirit of encouragement which has lived in,
aud inspired me during my entire connection
with the Road. To this friend, I would offer
all that gratitude can speak. His name, his in
fluence and his business character have been
my example and support in the past, and it
aball be my pride to contemplate them in the
future. That man—that frieud has been Isaac
Scott. Very Respectfully,

From the opinions expressed by the Press
throughout the country, far and wide, it
seems that the character of our friends, Sam
uel Swan & Cos., and the reliability of their
Lottery institution, is by no means proble
matical. Facts are stubborn things, and it is
impossible to get over the mass of evidence,
in their favor, touchiug the whole business
management of their concern. If their ene
mies could single out the first questionable
act it would gratify them, no do übt, but
they cannot do so. The Messrs. Swan <fe Cos
know their position, deal honorably, pay
promptly, and have gained a reputation
which places them altogether beyond the
reach of the most vindictive foe.
Which Shall Rule.
An exchange very justly and accurately
class'fi-s the three political parties, the Amer
icans, Republicans, and Dem njrats, as fol
lows: “One says ‘Americans shall rule Amer
ica’—the other, ‘Negroes shall rule America’
—while the other declares • Foreigners shall
rule America. “ The question lor the peo
ple to decide is. who shill rule America,
Americans, Negroes, or Foreigners? This
question is to be be decided by the success
of the one or other ol the parties whose pol
icy is thus distinguished. Negrophilism is
the policy o: the Republican party. It
would < evatc the negro to an equality with
the white <. z> u uuu give to him a potent
a will in controlling the political destinies
of the e “lutry. The Democratic party has
run wild in its exaltation ot foreigtiism.
Democratic judges have decreed that for
eigners ought to be preferred to native born
citizens. The secret oath-bound poetical
society of “Molly Maguires” notormusly
control the nominations and dictate the pol
icy of that party in nearly all our principal
cities and is rapidly extending its influence
throughout the whole Democracy in the
town and country. The success of the
Democratic party is the success of loreignism.
But the policy of the American party is to
to establish and preserve a pure American
nationality, to sustain and foster and perpet

Our Grocery Market. —lt gives
us great pleasure to know that the prospect
for a good Fall and winter Trade, in Macon,
opens up beautifully, particularly in Dry
Goods and Groceries. In the latter Depart
ment, especially, will any probuble demand
from the region round about Macon and the
South West portion ot Georgia, be met, by
an abundant and varied supply. Among
otherswho have largely extended their opera
tions in this line, are our enterprizing young
friends, Messrs. Dunlap & Harris, who have
now in store an unusually large Stock ol
Groceries and Staple Dry Goods, which
we know they are prepared to sell on the
most favorable terms. Our planting friends
who visit our market, should give them a
call and judge whether the representations
held out in the advertisement of tLese gen
tlemen will not be fully verified.
Iron Ties.— Several weeks ago we no
ticed the fact that one of oar citizeng had
invented and patented anew Iron Hoop
Tie, for bailing cotton, which he calls the
‘‘Folding Side Entrance Lock,” We did not
then give the name of the inventor, through
regard to his wishes, but as the matter has
since become public, there can be no impro
priety in our now mentioning that Mr. I. C.
Plant, our well known Marine Bank Agent,
is the person alluded to. His invention, it is
believed, will supercede every thing of the
kind heretofore brought to the notice of the
Planters.
The C arso of African*.—What
shall he done with them.
The most important question now before the
Southern People, is what disposition shall be
made of the cargo of Africuus, now at Charles
ton, landed from the Slave Brig Echo, recently
Bcized by the U. S. Brig Dolphin.
The act of 1840 provides that the officers and
crew of the captured vessel shall be turned over
to the U. S. District Court to be prosecuted un
der the law’ of Congress. The ship and her
properties of every description to be sold, and
the proceeds to be divided, half to the United
States, and the other half to the officers and
men wbo seized and brought the vessel into
port, under the laws regulating prizes. The
slaves to be delivered to the United Stales Mar
shal of the District where landed, and the Pres
ident to make such regulations and arrange
ments as he may deem expedient for ••their safe
keeping, support, or removal, ’’.aiid he is author
ized to appoint an efficor on the coast of Africa
to receive them.
This is thn law, but the public will not be
satisfied with a return of these poor benighted
Atrieans to their native country, to undergo the
rigors, ag'iiu, of the “middle passage,” and the
I risk of again being captured uud sent to Cuba,
■ nor does the law, we think, req me it. It give.-,
discretionary power to the President to nuke
brratigem**Tits tor their “ sate-ke. p ig, support
or removal “It there is any logd w<y ror keep
ing these negroes in tins Oouuiry, as apprentices
or otherwise, where they can be improved in
the arts ot civilization. Ac., we think that the
public sentiment would susutiu such disposition
ot them, as most con-latent with uue benevo
lence and national honor.
Peach LeaveN for Yeast.
Mr. Daniel R. Mitchell, of Rome, Ga.,
says the Courier of that place, has discover
ed that dried peach leaves are superior to
hops tor n aking yeast. It is said the bread
made from this yeast is as iight and
well flavored as that made from the best
hop yeast. The yeast is made the same as
hop yeast, except dried peach leaves are
substituted for hops.
The good housewife, that uses this receipt
should be careful aud not get her peach leaf
decoction too strong, as thereby she may man
ufacture prussic acid enough to kill the whole
family at one baking.

that the Hon. John W. E imond-i of New York,

we addressed a letter of enquiry on the subject
to Charles Partridge, E->q. E litor of the “Spirit- j

received the following reply:

Another Daily in Columbus.
On Wednw-day last, we received the first No
of the Columbus Dailv Times, which has just
been started by R. Ellis 4 Cos., in lieu of their
Tri-Weekly ‘’Times 4 SeutineL” It is a hand
some sheet, and we hope will meet with abun
dant success. When the “Enquirer’ follows
suit, as it will, we understand, shortly, there
will be three Daily papers in our neighboring
city, and not one in Macon ! The business men
of our town should take shame to themselves
that such should be the fact. Some of our
Merchants do m,t advertise at all, and others
ndvertise so little that a Daily could not sur
vive here, longer than the purse ol’ the propri
etor held out! Sorry we have to say it, but
we speak the truth, as taught us by our own
experience.
Made a Mistake In tlie Direction.
We acknowledge the receipt by m dl, postage
pa'd, of a small square packge, addressed to
us, and markt-d “cake,” with the Post-mark of
Augusta, Georgia, stamed thereon. On open
ing the mysterious and suspicious looking “Doc
ument,” we found the following note, accom
panying a bottle of what lias the flavor of ge
nuine whiskey:—
“From the jSf/>irif-ual Circle of Augusta, with
their compliments to Dr. L. F. W. Andrews,
Grand medium, Macon Circle—Dr. This is good
whiskey—Dr. Take a smell.”
Well, we did take a smell, aud it was pleas
ant to the olfactories—but we have not felt au
thorised to taste, thinking that the sample must
have been sent to us by mistake. Were it not
so small, we should be sure that it was design
ed for another establishment that is better post
ed as to the rye market than we are I
A Deserved Compliment. —On
Tuesday last, Mr. W. A. Huff, who has lor years
been a popular Conductor on the Macon 4
\\ estern Rail Road, made his last trip in that
capacity, much to the regret of the travelling
public, with whom he has been a general favor
ite. The Atlanta Intel igencer of the Ist inst,,
thus chronicles the fact and pays tribute to
the energy and worth of Mr. H., all of which
we most heartily endorse:
Mr. W. A. Huff. —The many friends of Mr.
Ilufl, who has been so long and favorably con
nected wnh the Mac -n 4 Western Rail Road, as
the most papular and efficient conductor of its
Passer ger Trains, will learn with profound rr
gr-1, that on yesterday, he carried hm train from
this city for the last tune, having resigned his
post on the Rail Road toengag- in other bu-ii
ness in Macon. To travel on the Macon Road,
and not meet the houe-t, l’rank and maulv face
<>f Arnold Huff! will indeed be a disappointment
to his large circle of friends. For many years
he has seemed to be as much a part and par
cel of the Macon Road as any of its appurien
Mi.ces. Ladies who were about to travel over the
Road or any of the stations, have almost invar a
bly inquired if it were Mr. Huff's train, as his ami
able and gentlemanly mariners were sure to
make the journey twice as pleasant. We could
not help leeling sad, as we shook friend Huff’s
hand tor the last time, yesterday, and thought
of the many pleasant meetings we have had,
and that his connection with us, as a Rail Road
Officer, is uow closed. We can only wish him,
aud we doubt not every one in this section of
the countrywill unite with us, a prosperous and
successful career in his new business. If thor
ough honesty and sterling integrity and devo
tion to duty deserve to triumph—W. A. Huff
will certainly enjoy as much success as any
young man we have ever known.”
“When Doctors Differ, who
shall Decide ?“
In our last paper, in noticing the late Decis
ion of the Supreme Court, in the Bank case,
from Columbus, we said that though we believ
ed Judge Banning to have “‘erred in said de
cision, 1 ’ we were not “prepared to denounce
him as a corrupt official or unprincipled Judge.”
In so saying we d.d not intend to decide upon
the law of the case, as we took it for granted
that the deei-ion was agsint law*and against
precedent. We had been told that different
decisions had been made, and we were referred
to Georgia Reports, pages 298, 337, 468 and 459-
for proof of the fact. We did not, however,
read these reported cases, nor have we any in -
clination now to do so. because it is out of our
line. At the request of a legal friend, we
however give, this week, an article from the
S ivannah ‘ Georgian,” sustaining Judg-s Ben
ning and McDonald, or attempting to do so, in
the decision in question. This we do, in order
that we may not appear disposed to do injustice
to those gentlemen, in the opinion formed, (it
may be, t.k> hastily.) that they had erred in
judgment as to the principles of the law involved.
More than this we do not feel call. d-*>n to pub
lish, as we do not think it interesting or prottt
able to fill our columns with a general discus
sion of a subject, belonding to the courts and
lawyers to determine, e-pecially as the latter
cannot agree on the points. As we said before,
however, we deprecate that hostility which
seems to threaten the existence of the C u-t
itself on ac- ount of the decision in question.
A supreme tribunal we conceive to be a neces
sary institution, in every State, and we see no
reason why the C< urt should be abolished, be
cause there may exi-t impels cion in its organ
ization, or occasional error in its artj idications.

A Preentiment, Fulfilment and [
Confirmation!
We take the liberty of recording the follow- j
ing facts, which have recently attracted consid- :
erable attention in certain circles, of this city and !
a neighboring village, leaving it for those who
doubt the truth of Spiritualism, to explain the \
phenomena on any other principles than those
of the Harmoniai Philosophy :
An interesting young lady of about 16 years ;
of age, daughter of a gentleman residing in an J
adjoining county, was persuaded, last April, to j
accompany her widowed sister, on a visit to
some relatives iu North Carolina. She did not
wish to go, as she had a presentiment that she
would not live to return home. This she re- j
marked to her sister and to several of her |
Inends, and only agreed to accompany her sis
ter on the latter promising to bring her remains j
back to her mother to be interred at home, if ‘
her fears were realized. The journey was made
but in about two weeks after leaving home,
news came of the death of the young lady.—
Her remains were brought back, and interred,
according to her request.
So much for the preseutiment and its fulfil
ment. Now, lor its confirmation. On Monday
afternoon, last, two ladies from the city and one
from the place where the fnends of the young
lady before mentioned live, called on the medi
um, Mrs. H. of this city, and requested to be
allowed to witness some of the manifestations,
and if possible to get a communication from a
daughter and sister (recently deceased)"of two of
the ladies, who had never belore seen any of
tifte Phenomena.
In a short time the following communication
was received, written backwards and only
readable by holding the writing before a mir
ror, or reading from the reverse side of the pa
per, before a strong light.
‘■ My Iriend—l promised to give you a com
munication You desired that I should tell
what Is iid, belore I left you iho last time. I
do not remember unless it was that I told you
I was going to die—that I never would come
back alive, for I knew that 1 waa going to die,
therefore I was not mistaken, for a spirit told
me so. I did not know any thing about Spirit
ualism, then. I told my sister that I would go
with her, if she would promise me one thing.—
She said she would if it was in reason. I told
her that if she would promise me to bring back
my body to my mother, to be interred, that I
would go. She told me that she certainly would
bring m back, but she did Dot think so, for she
thought I was only low spirited.”
[Signed with the name in full ot
the deceased young lady.]
Now, no one present was expecting a com- ,
munication irom this source, and it was suppos- I
eu to be an answer to an enquiry made the day
previous by a young gentleman who was ac
quainted with the deceased ind who had an in
terview with her just previous to leaving home
on her visit to N. C. The spirit ws then ask
ed if the toregoing was designed for this young
gentleman, and the answer wasm the negative:
that she intended to send him another of a more
convincing character.
Subsequently, and at the same sitting, the fol
lowing was received by that one of the ladies
present who personally knew the young lady
while the letter was in the earth-form. It i9
proper to add that the medium had no knowl
edge of the tacts revealed, prior to the writing
out of these communications, and has never had
any acquaintance with the family bereaved!
“0, how 1 love you. I impressed you to
come here this afternoon, that you might hear
from me. I can’t give you any more now, only
that your dear sister is happy. She is in the
fourth sphere. She is here, but can't influence
the medium. I can hardly influence her, but I
was so auxious for you to know that 1 was pre
sent. Oh, do tell my relations that they must
not grieve after me, for I would not be on earth
again, if I could possess the world. lam in
the fifth sphere. I have a beautiful home here.
Try to meet me in the filth sphere. Good bye.
my dear fnend.” **** **♦**.
[ln answer to the question to whom she was
writing, the answer was given—’tis for you,
Mrs. R ]
We need not say, that those two communica
tions have carried conviction to the minds of
those who received them, and they are now sat
isfied that the doctrine ot spirit intercourse be
tween the two worlds is something more than
mere humbug and delusion.
We subjoin a communication recently receiv
ed from a spirit friend, in answer to a Dote ao
companing a boquet of flowers placed upon the
table of the Medium, asking the Spirits if they
still loved flowers, to inhale the perfume of those
sent and say what kind bloomed in spirit land.
“ I love the flowers ot earth still, and did, for
your happiness as well as our pleasure, inhale
their perfume as it ascended in the air. Oh,
may you be able to pluck the flowers that grow
in celestial glory, that bloom always. They are
ever fresh and delicious. We have no winter
here to blast our foliage but the green pastures
are always green, where you may rove with
pleasure, forever. I will pluck you a beautiful
rose, lrom the garden of Paradise aud present it
to you on a paper—the foe simile of a Rose, and
paint it for you to keep in memory of myself
and your two daughters, until you oome to us
where you can get flowers that never fade in
the paradise of God. Accept our heart thanks
for the flowers you sent us, and we will endeav
or to let you hear olten from the spirit land,

“Spiritualism on the Decline.”
At Island Grove, Abingdon, Maas., on the
17th August, the Spiritualists held a Pic Nic, in
which 8000 persons participated, though the
weather wastoggy and rainy. It took 21 long
cars, drawn by two powerful looomotives, to
convey that part of the crowd that went from
80-ton. In Ohio and Indiana they have Mass
meetings of thousands in attendance.
A Touching Incident!
On the 19tb of August, Mr.S. B Brittan, one
o the Editors of the “SpimuHl Age” of Boston
autf New York, was at Mr. Munson's rooms No.
5, Great Junes Street, when Mrs. Hazen, a
trance medium present, being entranced, said to
him.
“ I see a white Dove descending; it has a lit
tle Lad in its beak ; it nestles in your bosom ;
it is now looking upward as though it were
about to fly away wnb the bud.”
At 2 o’clock next momiDg an infant child of
Mr. and Mrs. brittan. that hbd been sick seve
ral days, left the earth form. The “ bud” had
been plucked and transplanted to a more geni
al clime, where it will bloom in celestial glory.
