Sxrious Amur.-We regret to hav to re
cord the occurrence of a serious *ff™V be *
tween two worthy residents of this city, ou
Tuesday. I***. Mr. James L. Alexander, anu
Mr. Wm. M. Cline, had an alterc -tion which
resulted first in blows and then in pistol
shooting, in the course of which Mr. Alex
ander received a wound a little to the right
of the lower extremity of the breast bone,
the ball ranging to the right downwards, its
final lodgement not traceable by the probe.
Mr. Alexander is in a critical condition, not
expected to live. Mr. Cline was uninjured
save a severe blow npon the head. The
cause of the quarrel was one of a private na
ture, and both parties being highly esteemed
in our community much regret is manifest
ed at its occurrence. The case is undergo
ing judicial in vestigation. But for the med
dlesome interference of outside siischiefina
kers, itis probable that this difficulty might
have been avoided.
Since writing the above, we learn that
the judicial investigation has resulted in the
discharge of Mr. Cline.— Griffin Ind. South.

Unofficial. —My Dear Sir: A friend has
urmshed me with the “organization of the

ot organizational the planting interests for its
own protection. It is needless for me to
say how entirely your aims coincide with
my own on the vital importance ot direct
trade to the planter. But my object is not
to interchange views in common upon this
interesting subject My object is business
action, and that without unnecessary delay.
Anticipating the reaction which I know
must sooner or later take place in regard to
the present suicidal commercial policy of the
Soutn, 1 have succeeded in organising in ad

London are most anxious to see tne cotton
power a distinct and independent element,
and 1 spbak from the highest authority
wnen 1 inform you that your ideas and
purposes are warmly supported in Europe
by parties possessing the necessary capital
and lac ill ties to carry the thing ttirough. The
joint stock bank system in Loudon is a com
plete success. 1 know a gentleman who is
one of the directors of the London and West
minister joint stock bank, who entirely con
curs in your views. The vice chairman ol
another leading London bank entertains the
same opinion and more than one house in

The Hoc Trade.— The Louisville Journal
ot last Thursday, says;
• The hog trade has, within the last few
days, been unfavorably affected by the dull
ness in the provision market. We under
stand that orders for the purchase of hogs at
4 cents gross, have been countermanded.
The Cincinati Gazette, of Wednesdav, ?ay;:
The movements in hogs for future delive
ry indicate a decline within the week.
There were sellers yesterday for November
at $5 92 1-2 per 106 lbs. net, with few buy
ers at $o 00. The prospects with reference
to the corn crop, and the downward ten
dency of the provision market, combined to
depress the views of hog buyers.

itors and printers:
We are not aware that printers and
newspaper proprietors are a class of so little

If you are a verey precise man, and wish

a girl named Ann; for we have the authority
of Lmdley Murray and others, that “on is an

If you would like to have a wife who is
“one of a thousand,” you should marry an

If you do wish to have a bustling flying

jennies are always on the go.
If you want to marry Belle, it is not nec
essary that you should be a sexton, just be

If you marry one named Margaret, you may

Bonnets. —There is very litle change in
bonnets, although about the usual amount
of change is expended for them. They are
“a trifle larger,” which means that they are
very nearly visible to the naked eye. In
crowns, there is rather more variety than u
sual. One novely, called the ecaille, with
its graceful curve, reminds one ot the sweep
of a shell, not to speak of the “shelling out”
which makes such a sweep of the lord and
master’s pocket Another very “unique
aud costly article”is “so like a Scotch bonnet”
as to produce something like Scotch Addle
on the head of the man that receives the bill
for It.
Dresses. —Basques—thanks to the energetic
protest of the Commissionaire against their
being cast off—are still w orn,except the poin
ted basque, which has been so much poin
ted at as to disappoint the expectations of its
fair wearers, and this season it meets with
blunt disfavor.
The materials for dresses are not more an
tique than usual. Among other goods, there
is Qros and Eugenie, complementarily named,
we presume, in honor in the Empress’ in
creasing corpulence, which has rendered fat
all the rage iu Paris, until evey dame is stri
ving by “bif-tek,” aud “portaire,” to render

Skirts are flounced around pretty much as

They are worn very full, in consequence,
probably, of the fat fashion above alluded to.

of this cutious and interesting being is cer

this is proved by every test that can be ap

tuck, and arms, are those of two distinct
persons, and below the trunk there are four
distinct and perfectly formed lower limbs,

Good Advice.
The Columbus Corner Stone , in view of
the good crops, abundance of money, and
general prosperity, gives its readers the fol
lowing salutary advice, which we cordially
endorse and commend to our own :
Crops are abundant and prices good; what
hinders that every body shall be well off? It
is now iu the power of the people of this
country, the great majority at least, to se
cure to themselves a most enviable condi
tion, and we propose to say to our readers
a few things which will be, if they are prop
erly heeded, of great value to them.
Most people are more or less in debt Let
your first business to be get out. If you
cannot pay at all, pay as much as you can,
and go to work to pay the balance as last as
you can. Do not permit yourself to be
tempted by the present prosperous state of
things to increase your indebtedness. Do
not buy property upon a credit, any thing
except it be some absolute necessity, for
which you have not the present means to
pay. Do not buy upon a credit with the
hope of payieg for it at some future time,
with cotton, at the present prices. We
have all ol us seen these hopes disappointed
with ruinous effects; it may be the case again.
Property of every kind is now very high.
It may probably get a good deal higher, but
there is much greater margin for a fall than
a rise. That it can always maintain pres
ent prices, nobody believes; when it will
take a fall noboby knows. It is the part
of wisdom then not to put yourself in a con
dition to be caught by it.
If you have surplus money it is well e
nough, perhaps best, that you should buy
property with it; it, but it is very hard to
pay lor land at S2O an acre, and negroes at
SI3OO, with cotton at from five to eight
cents, and pay interest on the debt too.

Lola ffoulez un Jhc “Sinners in
Zion.”
New York, Oct, 1858.
May I ask the favor of a small space in your
paper? I perceive that Borne of the papers
(and I am informed that the bishop and others
of the clergy Lave interfered) are casting re
flections upon the little donation which I have
offered to make lor the purpose of rebuilding a
church designed for the free use of the poor. I
wish to state that when I volunteered lor this
purpose I had never seen the rector, the Rev.
Ralph Hoyt, but 1 had heard it stated that his
practice is to distribute from his church food
and clothing to the poor during the cold months
ot winter. The idea of a clergyman, in the
selflsh times we live in, giving lood and clothes
to the freezing and starving, iusteading of toast
ing them on tracts, strikes me as being most un
heard of conduct in a minister, ami I lelt a
strong desire to give my mite and neid to re
build a church which is to oe used fbr such a
very novel but truly (Jhnsliau purpose. Nor
did I for a moment imagine that there was to
be found even in the benighted regions of cler
ical bigotry and intolerance, oDe so stupid and
so shameless as to tind fault with a truly phil
anthropic clergyman for his willingness to re
ceive a donation from me to leeu and instruct
the poor. 1 did remember that it was tire doc
tors ot theology aud the pious tolks who cruci
fied the Master, aud my wide experience lias
taught me that it is not to that class of people
we may generally look for good and charitable
deeds; but I was not prepared to expect such
an insulting interference of bishops and clergy,
in what is only an humble offer of mine to help
the poor. But lam contented to leave it with
thinking minds to say who is the belter Chris
tian, mysell, or the cold, heartless Pharisee who
wouid crush me or any one else for doing good*
As I have seen it stated in some of the papers
that under these circumstances I might refuse
to lecture lor that object, I deem it proper to
say, over my own name, that I shall lecture, as
advertised, at Hope Chapel, on Wednesday
evening, and all the proceeds will be handed
over to the benevolent object before named.
And, to my lecture on Rome, I shall add a
postcript in relation to anti-Christian and anti-
American bigotry and intolerance, which may,
also, as it appears, be used to rob the poor and
divest man of his natural rights. With pity
for the poor, and many prayers for the “sinners
of Zion, lam your obedient servant,

Jfy Dear Sir: —Although I have always re

tors by tbe Legislature, yet the high confiden
tial relation which a Pennsylvania President
ought to sustain towards a Pennsylvania Sena
tor induces me to eay a few words to you as a

to my preference among the candidates, and
though my opinion may be entitled to little weight,

have always said I preferred Col. Forney, and I
3hall esteem it a friendly act towards myself for

Parson Graves iu Trouble.—
An exchange says that “ Rev. J. R. Graves,
editor of the Tennessee Baptist, known as
the author of a book entitled the “ Great
Iron Wheel,” has been arraigned before the
hirst Baptist Church of Nashville, on r.-harges
of “grossly immoral and unchristian con
duct.” The specifications are—first, that he
endeavored to bring Rev. R. B. C. Howell)
pastor of that church, into collision with
Rev. A. C. Dayton, by false and malicious
representations; second, that lie has at
tempted, through his paper, to distract and
divide that church by means of a conflict be
tween its pastor and four of the deacons;
third, that he ha; libelled the pastor and the
church ; and fourth, that lie lias at various
times attacked and slandered members of
the denomination throughout the country.
Mr. Graves has for some time been en
gaged in bitter controversies with other min
isters and members of the Baptist denomi
nation, and these charges are no doubt based
upon bis conduct of those controversies.”
Later accounts say that the Reverend gen
tleman has been convicted on the charges
preferred against him. Oh Christianity,
what wickedness is committed in thy name,

quixotic Projects. —Some of our
cotemporaries are agitating the sale of the
State Road and the application of the pro
ceeds thereof to the purposes of general ed
ucation of the masses of the people. One of
them, the Augusta Dispatch, has, however,
broached a proposition, which it seems to
to us, need only to be known, to be de
nounced as unjust and altogether Quixotic
in its character. It is, to give $600,000 to
the Athens University and $150,000 each
to Oglethorpe, Mercer and Emory Colleges,
under the control of the Presbyterian, Bap
tist and Methodist Denominations. In short,
it is a scheme to furnish further means and
facilities for the rich to educate their sons,
as the primary concern of the State, while
the education of the masses is to be deemed
a secondary object, of comparatively small
importance. Not only so, but the proposi
tion of the Dispatch offers a direct bribe to
the three great sectarian denominations of
religionists, of $150,000, each, to aid in this
gigantic speculation with the money of the
people! In the name c f common sense,
what right has the State Government to leg
islate in favor of any particular class or sect
of its population V Wiiy not include the Ro
man Catholic, the Episcopalian, the Unita
rian, the Universalist and the Nothingarian,
in this distribution of the public treasure?
These all should have tlAir share, at least,
in auy such division of the spoils. Go to,
Mr. Dispatch, your proposition is simply ri
diculous. It is more—it is abominable, and
should meet with the unanimous condemna
tion of every enlightened citizen.
And now a word as to the effect of such
propositions. It will convert hundreds from
being friends to the sale of the State Road
into the enemies of that measure. In fact,
wc shall oppose, “to the bitter end, ’any
sale of the State Road, so long as it can be
made a paying institution, to the tune of
$300,000 a year, as now, under the Ad
ministration of Gov. Brown, (to whom be
all houo'r for this result), or without we can
have the assurance that, if sold, the proceeds
will not be appropriated, to the value of one
dime, to any such “ old fogy” concern as
the State University, or to any of the secta
rian institutions of the State. We are, how
ever, in favor of a general system of public
schools, throughout tbe Commonwealth, in
which all classes of citizens will receive a
good English Education at the expense of
the Government. This is a scheme worthy
of the noblest effort, aud we hope not to see
it put in jeopardy or in abeyance, by any
ill-digested or chimerical projects, from
which the masses, who most need educa
tional aid, can derive no advantage.

Atlanta Fair—Firftt Day.
We were in Atlanta on Tuesday, the first
day of the State Fair, and of course went
out to the Exhibition Grounds to see what
we could see, of interest to our readers and
to the public at large, in connexion with the
great leading interests of the State, the de
veloperrent of which the Central Agricul
tural Association has for its object In com
parison with the display of last year, the
Fair of this week was a decided improve
ment, and in one respect, that of stock, per
haps surpassed all previous exhibitions in
this State. This department was certainly
well represented, especially in the Cattle
and Horse line. Finer specimens of both
we have rarely seen anywhere.
In the peculiar products of Cherokee,
Georgia, there was, we think, a lamentable
deficiency. We saw no samples of the Ce
reals, though there may have been some
brought in afterwards. Not a sack of Flour,
Wheat, Corn, Rye or other small grain, was
visible. And what is stranger still, not a
bale of Cotton was to be seen on the ground,
at the close of the first day I If there was
a bale, we did not, by searching, find out
the fact.
In the Fruit Department, we saw some
fine specimens of the Pear and the Apple,
from the Downing Hill Nursery of Peters,
Harden & Cos., of the neighborhood of At
lanta. There were some 50 varieties of the
Apple and 80 of the Pear, some of both
very fine. Col. Peters informed us that he
had winter varieties that could be kept till
the ripening of the early Apples of May and
June.
In the Agricultural Department there was
a tolerably fair exhibition of implements,
such as Plows, Wagons, Seed Planters, Cot
ton Presses, Cotton Gins, Bale hoop Locks,
Sugar Mills, &c. A detailed description, or
even mere mention, would trespass upon
the limited space we are allowed for this
notice.
In the Mechanical Department, not much,
of special interest, outside of the Agricultu
ral feature. We noticed anew patent Chum,
anew Washing Machine, a good supply of
Shoes and Leather, several nice articles of
Cabinet Ware, a Locomotive Steam Grist
Mill and anew Loom, (the latter two from
Ohio), a Horizontal Cotton Press from Dal
las county, Ala., &c-, &c.
In the Fancy Department, there was a
very respectable exhibition of Needle Work,
Paintings, Photographs, Sewing Machines,
Quilts, Piano Covers, and a thousand “ no
tions,” of various kinds and descriptions,
beautiful to behold, but difficult to describe.
In all the departments, we were pleased
to see our own city so well represented, as
will be seen, from the following brief state
ment of articles that came under our own
eye, but which did not probably embrace
every thing on exhibition from Macon :
1. An Improved Circular Saw, &c., by
James Slater.
2. Cotton Press and Section of Screw, by
T. C. Nisbet.
3. Sugar Cane Treble Roller Mill, by T.
C. Nisbet.
4. Iron Hoop Lock, for Cotton Bales, by
Wm. Mooney.
5. Miniature Gold Watch, full jewelled,
by Menard & Burghard, made by them—a
gem of the art
6. A Farrier’s Pocket Knife, with numer
ous blades, by D. C. Hodgkins & Son. This
will compare favorably with the best Shef
field Cutlery, for completeness of finish and
excellent wr.rlrmnr.eV.ip
7. Several beautiful Paintings, one Mono
chromatic, by Mrs. R. B. Clayton. These
are fine specimens of the art as taught in
Wesleyan Female College, and will, we think,
take a premium.
8. A Silk Embroidered Bed Quilt, by a
lady, name not given. Elegant.
9. Several Portrait Paintings in Oil, from
the studio of Mr. Freemau, among which
was the likeness of Col. 0. A. Lochrane,
which is true to life.
We also were much pleased with some
specimens of Georgia Marble Statuary and
Monuments, from the establishment of
Messrs. Sumney & Hurlick, of Pickens co.,
Ga. When we can have such marble at our
own doors, we do not see why it is necessa
ry to send to Italy or elsewhere for the arti
cle. Let us encourage domestic industry
and home manufactures, before all else.
In Wood Sculpture, there was one re
markable specimen on exhibition, from the
chisel of C. J. Oliver, of Athens, Ga. It was
the exact counterpart, we were told by Mr.
Camack, the intelligent Secretary, of a negro
boy in Athens, in every respect. Not only
is it a capital likeness of the fellow, as en
gaged in the occupation of pounding in a
mortar, but his complexion and dress, even
to a patch in his trowsers, are all delineated
with artistic truthfulness. Surely such a
genius as is this young gentleman, Mr. Oli
ver, ought to devote himself to the higher
walks of the Art, for which he seems to
have all the requisite qualifications by na
ture.
On the whole, we think the Fair a credit
able affair, but despite the vast amount of
gas expended by the Atlanta Press, in favor
of Atlanta being the place for the annual ex
hibitions of the Society, we are satisfied that
they are mistaken as to the true policy of
the A ssociation. If the Fair is to be made
a permanent institution at one locality, Ma
con is decidedly the most eligible place for
it. It is more central and equally as acces
sible to the people—and has this additional
advantage, that it is in the heart of the Cot
ton-growing region of the State. Besides
this, we have a better fair ground than At
lanta ever can have without an immense
outlay.
Sad.— Miss Mary Klizabetb, only daughter
of Dr. S. W. Parker, died in Charleston, of yel
low fever, on the 9th inst., in the 17th year of
her age. On the 12th, Sanford Wm. Barker,
brother of Mary, died of yellow fever, in the
22d year of his age. A few days previous to
the death ot Mary, a younger brother, died of
the saute fell disease —thus in seventeen days,
two sons and an only daughter, all grown up
into intelligent companions, have been snatched
from one household. Mr. Sanford W. Barker
was a young lawyer of high talents, noble vir
tues, and gave promise of a bright and distin
guished future. He was a graduate of South
Carolina College.
Escape of a Bostonian from a Mexican
Prison. —We understand that despatches were
received in this city yesterday afternoon, from
Charleston, S. C., announcing that young Sid
ney Coolidge, of Boston, had reached that port,
having made his escape from a Mexican prison.
It will be remembered that young Coolidge,
who went on to Moxico as an engineer, joined
one of the revolutionary parties of that country,
and was captured in one of the encounters of
late so frequent there. His life was saved,
though many of the Mexican officers who were
associated with him were shot, and his friends
will now be glad to learn that he has finally
reached a place of safety.— Boston Traveller,
13fA inst.
A Good Day's Work. —The Central Rail
road delivered at its depot in this city, by its
regular trains, Monday last, four thousand one
hundred and twenty-nine bales of cotton, besides
a large amount of other freight. This is said to
be the largest amount of cotton ever brought
to th KtjMa cm dajr.—4fev. fa?, *•
Opposition Majority in leim
sylvailia.—The Philadelphia Press, with re
ports from most of the counties before it, esti
mates the popular majority against the Admin
istration in Pennsylvania at 50,000 to 60,000
votes, and says that it would have been much
larger had the Administration candidates pre
sented the issue fairly, instead of advocating
the immediate admission of Kansas as a free
State and increased Protection to American in
dustry.
Rev. J. R. Graves.--The ecclesiasti
cal court at Nashville, have, by a vote of 89 to
1, found this gentleman guilty of the second
charge for which he was arraigned, viz.: that
he “ endeavored to distract and divide the First
Baptist Church by means of a conflict between
its pastor and four of its deacons, and several
other of its influential members, which he has
labored to produce by numerous inflammatory
articles published in his paper.”
—
Texas Items.—The Galveston Civilian,
of the 9 th, reports cotton coming in rapidly,
the receipts during the week being 6,000 bales.
The same paper says the entire number of
voters in the State at this time cannot fall shert
of 70,000.
The Civilian, of the 12th, reports 57 inter
ments in Galveston during the week ending on
the 11th inst., of which 55 were yellow fever
cases. *
A Crushing Array of Charges
against Douglas.
The Jefferson (Mo.) Examiner has published
the following charges against Judge Douglas,
and gives the name of Hon. Isaac H. Sturgeon,
a leading Democrat of St. Louis, as the person
from whom the information is obtained. His
record as made up in the Senate and in his late
harangues in Illinois, is black enough to satisfy
the worst Abolitionist in the land, but the facts
here related render it perfectly monstrous:
We learn from sources that we deem entirely
reliable,
Ist. That Judge Douglas declared to promi
nent Black Republicans in Washington City
last winter, that his Kansas-Nebraaka policy
was designed by him, and would have the effect
to surround the slave States with free States, and
thus crush out slavery.
2d. That Douglas declared that Senator Bell,
of Teun., was the only Southern member of Con
gress who understood him. He had a conversa
tion with Senator Bell, in which the latter said
to Douglas, “ The and and Southern fools don’t
understand you ; I do.”
3d. That Senator Douglas avowed himself in
favor of emancipation in Missouri, and said he
hoped the movement in favor of emancipation
would succeed.
4th. That Senator Douglas expressed the
hope to these same Black Republicans that F.
P. Blair, Jr., would succeed Senator Green in
the United States Senate and voluntarily prom
ised to use his efforts, when the proper time
came, to secure the election of Blair in place of
Green.
sth. That he held meetings in his own house,
in Washington City, under lock and key, with
prominent Black Republicans, last winter, who
came at his own invitation, and to whom he
made, in substance, these declarations.
These are some of the charges we are ena
bled to make against Senator Douglas. The
information upon which we make them is, we
reiterate, entirely reliable, and we cannot, there
fore, doubt their truth.

Violations of the Fire Ordi
nance.—We are glad to perceive that sum
mary measures have beeh ordered by Council,
against all those who have violated the Fire
Ordinance of April 28th, 1854, which prohibits
the erection of wooden buildings or other struc
tureSj.within. certain limits of the city. The
Marshal is required to notify all violators of the
wholesome ordinance to pull down and remove
such unlawful structures, within live days, sub.
ject to the penalty of $lO per hay, for non-ob
servance of the law.
Building; and Loan Associa
tloiut.—Supreme Court Deci
sions.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has lately de
cided, in the case of Mrs. Cope vs. the Savan
nah Mutual Loan Association, that the widow's
right to dower out of the property takes prece
dence of the Association’s mortgage. The same
point was decided here, in the Cole case, by
which decisions the securities of Loan Associa
tions are placed in a somewhat critical condi
tion. For example—the widow is entitled to
her dower , which is one-third of the landed pro
perty. Secondly, she and her children are en
titled to one year’s support out of the remaining
two-thirds. The mortgaged property is subject
to both of these claims, and in many instances,
after they are met, there is nothing left for the
mortgagee!
This we understand to be the settled law of
the State as interpreted by the highest tribunal
of Georgia, and, of cenrse, must be submitted
to, until the decision of the Court is reversed
or the Legislature interposes a remedy, which,
in this age of “ woman’s rights,” they are not
likely to do. Nor do we think that they ought
to legislate adversely to the interests of the
widow and the orphan.
It will be well, therefore, for the Mutual Loan
Associations to understand how precarious are
the securities on which they have relied and
are still relying, and take prompt measures to
wind up their business. Every member of
these Associations is interested in the question
—not only those who have not borrowed but
those who have—as all losses incurred from such
a cause, do, to that extent, retard the success
ful winding up of the Association, and, of course,
subjects all parties to more or less loss.
Eatonton dc Madison Railroad.
The connection by Rail between Eaton
ton and Madison is again mooted by a Madi
son correspondent of the Savannah News.—
We wonder that this link has not long been
supplied, for certainly it would be a great
convenience for persons living on the line of
the Georgia Railroad between the Athens
Branch Junction and Covington, who wish
to go to Milledgeville or Savannah, to have
a continuous railway from Madison. As it
is, persons in that section have to go round
by Atlanta or via Augusta, to reach the Sea
board. The distance of the contemplated
Road is but little if any over twenty miles.
Sudden Death.— We are deeply pained to
learn that Mr. Samuel D. Clarke, of the firm of
Clarke A Iverson of this city, was found dead
this morning, at 7 o’clock, in his room, over 93
Broad street. It is reported that he was sub
ject to fits of despondency. The deceased was
a native of Augusta, Ga., and about 35 years
of age. The Coroner held an inquest over the
deceased, and the verdict of the jury was, that,
“he came to his death from some unknown
cause.”— Col. Enquirer, ISth inst.
Washed but not Cleansed.
Our neighbor of the “ Index” complains
that someone of his customers passed oil’
upon him, at the Western or Flint River
Association, a Ten Dollar Bill on the broken
Exchange Bank of Griffin, and received
good money in exchange, for nearly the face
of the bill. Bro. Walker should learn from
this, to “ watch as well as pray, even when
he is among those whom he considers pre
destinated” to be heirs of salvation. W e
sympathize, however, with him in the loss
he has sustained.

Return of ( apt. Eilamls.-On
Saturday the 9th of October, the people of
Russell county, Ala., held a public n eeting
at Crawford to welcome home from Kansas
Capt. Absalom Eilands, formerly a citizen
of that county. After the meeting was or
ganized, a committee appointed offered the
following Resolutions, which were unani
mously and enthusiastically adopted:
Resolved, That the hero of Kansas, Capt
A. B. Eiland. is again amongst us.
Resolved , That we tender him our thanks
for his energetic and manly efforts to es
tablish and propagate the institution of
slavery in the Territory of Kansas; and
that to him and his companions who sup
ported by their arms and their votes the
Lecompton Constitution, with the slavery
clause, are due the respect and the grati
tude of all Southern patriots.
Resolved, That we deprecate the weak,
tim and and compromising legislation by
which, after they had been so nobly achiev
ed, all the advantages which the South
had gained in the Lecompton Constitution,
were basely surrendered; but its final loss
shall not prevent us from awarding tne
just meed of praise to those who fought
and bled to secure its adoption.
The gallant Captain made a speech on
the occasion, which was well received, and
he was afterwards cordially taken by the
hand by every lady and gentleman present,
and welcomed, again, to the State of his
adoption.

A Ant for the Abolitionists.—
Judge Cabanniss recently inflicted a fine of
S4OO upon a white man, of Pike county, Ga.,
for cruelty to his own slave. Wonder it a white
master at the North was ever fined such a sum
for cruelty to a white apprentice? We don’t i
hear of such cases often, among the Negro
philists.
Pennsylvania.—The Administration, ‘
in Old Buck’s own State, have been routed,
“ horse, foot and dragoons,” at the recent State
elections—only two Buchanan Democrats elect
ed to Congress. The President’s pet, J. Glancy
Jones, has been thrown overboard 1 This is
the best lick of all —and just the fate any man
deserves who signs his name after that fashion.
Good by, Mr. J. Glancy Jones!
Another Judicial Strangling.
—John Cobb, Jr., was tried and convicted of
murder at the recent session of the Fulten Court,

Crockett in killing Landrum. Another man of
the name of Jones will be tried for the same of
fence in November, and will also swing. Thus
we have had one homicide by wicked men, and
will have three by legal authority.
