A Seducer’s Ear Cut Off.
Vbout four months since, one of the en
terprising merchants of our county started I
t„ the Kestem cities for a new stock of goods,
stating at the time that he expected to re
turn, i possible o three weeks.
We ssw him st the depot when he start
lie kissed bis wife —a beautiful one—
md his little daughter —a beautiful child of
five years —and apparently full of high hopes
for the future, sprang aboard the train and
w *s out of sight in a moment He arrived
in New York, and becoming quite indispos
ed he hurriedly transacted his business, and
in * week sooner than he anticipated he
touml at Crestline wait’ng lor the
ors from Fittsburgli, which were to brir.g
him to Bocyrtw. Unfortunately, or per
haps fortunately, the train from Pittsburgh
wa < some three hours behind time, and
when he did get on board he threw himself
into a seat and in a few minute s was fast
: nor did he wake until the train
readiest Forest, twenty nine miles further
than Bucyros, where he shoo'd have stop
ped.
Much to his chagrin and bitter disappoint
ment, did he hear the brakeman announce
‘■[Forest,’’ he however, picked up bis carpet
atk and concluded to make the best of it —
He ha<l proceeded but a few steps, w hen, to
his horror and consternation, be beheld his
own wife in company with one whom he had
always esteemed his best friend. He coaid
•csri ely believe his own eyes, but when he ‘
heard the gentleman direct his trunk and
his wife's carpet sack to be put off at II ;
a place on the M. R. and L. E. R. IL, noted
for licentuous intrigue, and when he remem
bered an anonymous letter he had received
more than a year ago, cautioning him to be
ware of his friend, his mind was instantly
made up; he walked coolly up to his hated
rival, and at one stroke severed his right ear
from his head, put it into his pocket, and
confronted his wife, asking her il she would
go home with him, at the same time telling
her that he freely forgave her on account of
her youth and their child. She gladly con
fes->ed her error, and the next train brought
them to their home, where they now live
happily. The miserable offender is still in
out midst, and when only one of our citi- j
zens continues to wear long hair, reader, you
nay know who he is. His ear is preserved
in spirits in the house of the injured husband.

French Movements is The Gulf. —Tho .V-
I". Herald of Friday says ;
Our Honduras correspondent makes known
(act of some interest, in connection with other
French movements in Central America, viz:
that the French government has made the fine
Bay of Fonseca its naval station on the Pacific:
that one vessel had already arrived, and that
two otliers were expected daily. Besides being
the Pacific ttrminus of the proposed Honduras
railway, this hay commands the three States of
Nicaragua, Honduras and San Salvador, all of
which touch upon it. A fieet stationed here
cau be reached from Europe in half ihe time it
would require to transmit orders to Valparaiso,
anil this movement will con.pel the United
States and Great Britain to make a correspon
ding change. It is not generally known that
the French have lately had a very careful sur
\ey rnaUeol the w hole Pacific ecatt of Central
America, by Captain De LapeliD, of the frigate
La Brilliante, the report of which has just been
published by the Department of Marine. It
tays of the Bay of Fonseca:—“This vast and
magnificent bay, studded with islands, which
stretches into the land between the volcanoes
of Coseguina and Conchagua, has no rival on
the entire coast es the Pacific, whether as re
gards its extent, its beaut} 7 , or its naval and
commercial position.”

fired upon on Friday evening of last week,
by a negro man named Phil, (as it is sup

was raised by Mr. Benjamin J. Harden, of
Walton county, and was sold to Messrs
Ship Haralson of this place, and will be
shipped to-day (Wednesday) to Messrs.,

Reduction in the Legislature.
MEETING IN SPALDING COUNTY.
The citizens of Spalding county, without
distinction of party, assembled in public
meeting in Griffin, on the sth inst John
Dobb acted as Chairman, and John D. Stew
art a Secretary.
A committee (consisting of A. G. Murray,
John H. Starr, George Prothro, Wm. Grif
fin and Charles L. Dupree) was appointed to
prepare matter for the action of the meet
ing.
They reported that it is imjiortant that the
number of members in the Georgia Legisla
ture should be greatly reduced, and the pres
ent rule of representation changed. Their
plan is to reduce the Legislature to fifty
numbers, by dividing the State into twenty
Senatorial and thirty Representative Dis
tricts; the former repiesenting territory , to
l>e as nearly equal as possible w ith respect to
site, and the latter, representing population,
to be as nearly equal as possible with re
spect to inhabitants; but in no case is a
county to be divided.
By this plan its advocates contend that
the followingdesirable objects will be accom
plished :
Ist Equality in representation.
2d. Economy in the administration of the
Government.
3d. An improvement iu the character of
our Legislature.
We append the resolutions unanimously
adopted by the meeting :
1. Resolved, That a reduction in the num
ber of our Senators and Representatives in
our State legislature is deinauded as a meas
ure of economy, to secure equality, and
to ensure speedy, wise and efficient legisla
tion.
2d. Resolved, That a State Convention
ought to be called by our next Legislature to
alter our State Constitution, so as to effect a
proper reduction.
3. Resolved, That our fellow-citizens of all
parties, in every county in the State, be and
S they are hereby earnestly requested to
have an eye to reduction in making their
nominations for the next Legislature, and
that no one be put in nomination who is
i not openly and decidedly in favor of reduc
tion, and the call of a convention for that
purpose.
4. Resolved , That we deem it proper to
make this request thus early in the season,
so as to place the matter before all in ad
vance of any nominations, that none may be
taken by surprise, by having the question of
reduction sprung upon them after their nom
inations are made.
5. Resolved, That all papers of this State
be and they are hereby earnestly requested
to publish the proceedings of this meeting,
so that the question of reduction may be
laid before every tax payer and voter.
Retirement of Prominent Statesmen.
Probably no other four men in the last
Congress had so much to do with sha
ping the legislation of the country as Jno.
Letcher of Virginia, Alex. 11. Stephens
of Georgia, Geo. W. Jones of Tennes
see, and James L. Orr of South Carolina.
Their places, on the first Monday in De
cember next, will be filled with new men.
Mr. Letcher goes into the gubernatorial
chair of Virginia, and the other three re
tire to private life. They have always
been remarkable as hard workers. Mr.
Jones, of Tennessee, has been indefatiga
ble. Seldom, indeed, during his twenty
four years service, has he been seen out
of his seat during the hours of session,
unless his presence has been necessary
in the committee room. Mr. Stephens
has been in Congress sixteen years, and
has won the very first reputation as a
sound and practical statesman, arid a bril
liant orator. None of these men can
well be spared from Washington, and it
is to be hoped that if Messrs. Stephens,
Jones and Orr cannot be induced to re
turn to Congress, that their services may
be secured to the people in other posi
tions. They are all in the prime of life.
Jones is 53 years of age, Stephens 47,
Letcher 45, and Orr 37. The three last
have been named frequently in connec
tion with the Presidency, and it is not
altogether unlikely that one of them
may receive the nomination at Charles
ton. Among other distinguished states
men who have declined re nominations to
the House, are George W. Hopkins, of
Virginia; J. F. Dowdell and Eli S.
Shorter, of Alabama; John M. Sandidge,
of Louisana, and James B. Clay, of Ken
tucky ; all of whom have made their
mark in public legislation. Judge Hop
kins is 55 years old, has been Speaker of
the House, and Chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. A num
ber of prominent men have been elected
to stay at home for the ensuing two years,
among them Erastus Corning, George
Taylor and Elijah Ward, of New York ;
F. P. Blair, jr., of Missiouri; James
Hughes, of Indiana, and 11. M. Phillips,
of Pennsylvania, and old Josh Giddings
was thrown out by his party in Ohio. —
The gallant Harris, of Illinois, and John
Glancy Jones has gone to Austria. We
do not believe there has beep so marked
a change in the House of Representa
tives at the end of a session since the for
mation of the Government. The Senate
has lost Houston, Jones of lowa, Thomp
son of Kentucky, Stuart, Bates, Wright,
Allen, Bell and others. Os the new
comers one or two have been previously
known to the country, but the majority
have their reputation yet to make.— N.

back, by some of these parties and their

gentlemen implicated to deny it, and the
truth shall be forthcoming!

NVts for Poor Min ! — lt costs a deal of
money to be rich, and it is the question if so
much is worth so little. After all is wealth
worth the cost—first, in acquiring it, next
in supporting it, and lastly, in bearing up un

a great deal to be rich, but if you have to en
close but the sums of $lO, $5, or s2s, to

From Paraguay—Peaceful Settlement
of the Dispute.
Important and gratifying intelligence
from the Paraguay expedition has been
received via Pernambuco, by the British
brig Ann McKean, arrived at this port
yesterday. She left Pernambuco on the
10th of March. The mails from the
Southern port arrived at Pernambuco
on the 4th, bringing advices from Mon
tevideo to the lOth of February, the
tenor of which was that the difficulties
pending between the United States and
Paraguay, had been amicably arranged
by concessions on the part of the latter
Republic.
The intelligence is conveyed in a re
port from Gen. Urquiza, who, on the
part of che Government of the Argen
tine Confederacy, had interposed his
good offices. Il is official report of the
success of his efforts had been published.
It appears that the President of Para
guay had offered to meet Gen. I rquiza
at some point in the Argentine Confed
eration, but the celerity of Commission
er Bowlin’s movements suggested to Ur
quiza the necessity of hastening to the
capital of Paraguay if he would succeed
in his commendable purpose of averting
hostilities. Accordingly he reached As
uncion on the lt>th of January, and was
cordially received by President Lopez.
He found the government of Paraguay
determined upon resistance, and a con
siderable armament prepared for the de
fence. He represented to Lopez, how
ever, the great strength of the United
States, his confidence in the fraternal
feeling of the Republic, his belief that
our government had no desire unjustly
to exercise its power upon the Southern
Republics of the continent. To which
representations President Lopez pru
dently listened.
Gen. Urquiza next had an interview
with Commissioner Bowlin, of whose hu
manity and friendly but dignified bearing
he speaks in terms of the highest com
mendation. To him Urquiza represent
ed that the proceedings of the Paraguay
an government had been exaggerated,
and its temper misrepresented, and ap
pealed to him to take into consideration
the interests of the beautiful country,
and the ruin which would result from
war upon it. He found the Commission- I
er prompt to yield to such considerations
and generally disposed to a policy of
conciliation. The parties in dispute be
ing thus brought into unity of disposi
tion, there was little difficulty in coming
to au agreement up terms of arrange
ment. They are given in documents ac
companying Gen. Urquiza’s report to the
government of the Argentine Confeder
ation, but were not published with that
document. Is appears that conciliatory
sentiments were exchanged between the
Commissioner and President at the form
er reception, he frankly stating that while
his instructions precluded him from ac
cepting the mediation which Brazil and
the Argentine Confederation were dis
posed to oiler, he very willingly accept
ed the personal and non-official friendly
intervention of Gen. Urquiza.
Several conferences were held in this
spirit, and “an honorable arrangement”
was at last effected. As we have said,
the terms thereof are not published.—
There was a rumor, however, that the
basis was an indemnity of 110,000 to
the widow of the person killed on the
Water Witch by the guns at the forts of
Itapiru, and $25,000 to the company rep
resented by Ex-Consul Hopkins. Noth
ing is said in the rumor in question of
indemnity for the expense of the expe
dition. We presume, however, that the
expense is provided for in the “ honora
ble arrangement,” otherwise the United
States have paid heavily for collecting
$35,000.
The accuracy of this information be
ing conceded, the account received a
short time ago, that Commissioner Bow
lin had consented to meet certain repre
sentatives of Paraguay on neutral
ground (at Corrientes) is disproved—

Incendiary Publications in Southern
Sunday Schools.
Northern Anti-Slavery Publications. —A
friend lias placed in our hands a little child’s
paper, called the “ Sunday School Advo
cate,” which purports to be published sim
ultaneously at New York, Cincinnatti, Bos
ton and and Chicago. In this sheet there is
a conspicuous cut representing in graphic
colors an auction sale of negroes in the
South. A negro is on the block by the side
of the auctioneer, with his sleeves aud
breeches roolled up, and several buyers care
fully examining him, while several other ne
groes are standing near by, waiting for their
time to come next. This cut is followed by
the following articles :
“ Going! going! going! sold to Mr. .”
What is sold? An ox, a horse, a house?
No, my children, neither of these, but a boy,
a human being, an heir of immortality ! For
in the slave States tht>y sell boys and girls
just as we sell oxen and horses in the free
States. The picture represents a slave auc
tion. Those white men are examing that j
colored boy just as horse jockeys to do hors
es, to see if he is sound and strong.
Not long ago one of our church papers—
the central Christian Advocate—stated that
a young minister in the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, wanted some money to buy
books for his library. To obtain it he sold a
boy for five hundred dollars, aud thus chang
ed his boy into a library. Wasn’t that a
wicked act, especially for a minister of Je
sus Christ ?
Mark thisl No minister or member of
our Church could do such an act as that
without being liable to be turned out of the
Church for it. The law 7 of our Church for
bids the buying or selling of slaves, so that
no man who is guilty of those crimes can
I claim any place among us. In the Church
i South, it is different. There people and min
isters can buy and sell as much as they
please.
What do you think the blessed Jesus will
say to those who buy, sell, and make slaves
of boys and girls, when they stand at his
bar to be judged? I think he will thunder
that terrible word “ Depart I” in their ears,
and therefore I feel sorry that so many are
guilty of those sins: and I want you all, my
children, that come what will, you will nev
er own, buy or sail a human being, unless
indeed you buy one for the purpose of mak
ing him free.”
We do not know the fact, but we have no
doubt that thousands of these papers are
circulated among the Sunday School children
of the South, and if so, parents, guardians
and teachers should keep an eye to the
character of the papeis which t'.eir children
read and patronize, and see to it that their
youthful minds are not poisioned by such
pernicious representations of the relation of
master and servant.

RICH D CURD, a c.
Il is a common obnerv niton that therea-e more suffer
er* from debility among Americans, than can he found among
any other civilized nation. The reason Is obvious. We take
too little exercise, aud forget the wants of the body, iu the
absorbing pursuits of business. In all such eases, ordi
nary medicine can do no good. What is required, is just
such a tonic and invigor.tor as Or. .1. Hostelter has given
tothe world, in his CELEBRATED BITTERS. The weak
and nervous denizen of the counting-house, the exhausted
toiler upon the shop-board, and the prostrated student by the
midnight lamp, have found a wonderful regenerator in the
Bittebs, a*d piefer It to the more pretentious, but ies* effica
cious, medicines. But it should not be forgotten that the
agen which is so magical in its Influence upon a frame which
is merely debilitated, is equally powerful in assisting nature
to expel the most terrible forms of disease, fl ho will not
give it a tri j 1 ?

AY EH'B CHERRY PECTORAL.
For the rapid cure of Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchi
tis. Whooping Cough, Asthma and Consumption, is univer
sally known as the best remedy ever yet discovered for every
variety es Pulmonary disease. So wide is the field of its
usefulness, and so numerous the cases oflts cures, that almost
every section of the country abounds In persons publicly
known, who have been restored from alarming and even des
parate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its
superiority over every other medicine of its kind Is too appa
rent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known
the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the
distressing aud dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs
which are incident to our climate. By its timely use, many,
nay almost all, attacks of disease upon the Lungs or Throat,
are arrested, and thus are saved many thousands every year
from a premature grave. No family should be without it,
and those who do neglect to provide themselves with a rem
edy which wards off this dangerous class of diseases, will
have cause to deplore it when It Is too late. Proofs of the
surprising efficacy of the Cherry Pectoral need not be given
to the American people—they have living proofs In every
neighborhood. But those who wish to read the s'atements
of those whose whole health has been restored, and whose
lives have been saved by its use, will find then, in my Ameri
can Almanac, which the agents below named have to furnish
gratis for every one.

BECAUSE It Is tlie ornament God Himself provided for

so 1 rig rtiy in the glowing check, the eye he ever so spark
ling, me teeih be those of | earl*, if the ‘head is 1 ereft of Its
covering, or the hair be snarled and ahiivelaJ, harsh and dry
nr worse still, if sprinkled with gray, nature will lose more
than half her charms. Prof. VV ood’s Hair Restorative, if
used two or three time* a week, will restore and permanently
secure to all such an ornament. Read the following and
judge. The writer of the tirst is the celebrated Pianist,
Ihalberg :
New York, April 19th, 1358.
Dr. Wood— Dear Sir : Permit me to ex pr.-ss to you the ob
ligations 1 am under, for the entire restoration of my hair to
its origina’ color : about the time of my arrival in the United
Mates it was ramdiy becoming gray, but upon the applicate ri
of your *• Hair Restorative” it soon recovered its original
hue. J consider your Restorative as a wonderful invention,
quite efficacious as well as agreeable.
I am, dear sir, yours tmly, 8. TIIALBERG.

Fro/. 0. J. How/—Pear Sir: Some month or six weeks
ago I received a bottl of your llair Restorative and gave it
to my wife, who concluded to try it on her hair, llule thinking
that it would restore the gray hair to its original color, but to
to her a* well a* my sunwise, after a few week’* trial it has
performed that wonderful effect by turning all the gray hair
to a dark brown, anil at the same time beauUfyingund thick
enlngthe hair. I strongly recommend the above Ke.tor*
tive to ail persens in want of such a change of their ha'r.
CHARLES CARDEW.

Prof. 0. J. Wood : With confidence do I recommend your
Hair restorative, as being the most efficacious ailicle I ever
saw. Since using your Hair Restorative, my whiskers, which
were almost white, have gradually grown dark ; and I now
feel confident that a few more applications will restore them
to their natural color, it has also relieved me < f all my dan
druff and unpleasant itching, so common among person* who
perspire freely. J. G. KILBY.
Prof. Wood : About two years ago my hair commenced
falling off and tnrnlng gray , I wa* fast becom ng bald, and
had tried many Remedies io no effect. 1 commenced using
your Restorative in January last. A few applications fasten
ed my hair firmly. It began to till up. grow out and turn
back to its former color, < blaek.) At this time it is fully re
stored to its original color, health, and appearance, and I
cheerfully recommend its use to all. J. P. HUES.

Scrofula, or King’s Evil,
i. a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending “ from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generationindeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, “ I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children.”
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons arc invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply iu
AYERS
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive
and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire,
Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules,
Blotches, Blains and Boils, Tumors, Tetter
and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and,
indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitia
ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief
in “ impurity of the blood ” is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
Ayer s Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC,
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate ex cry portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. Asa consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to’ find bia
health or energy restored by a remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costive
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
Stomach, Nausea, Ifldigestion, Pain in and Morbid
Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions. ,
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
FOB THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
’ Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous are the eases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
