The Sheriff’s sales of Gilmer county
have been taken from us, and are now
published in the Mountain Signal, be-
cause wc would not advertise them at
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS A LEVY,
while the law allowed us TWO DOL
LARS AND A HALF. The Sheriff
wrote us that he could get it done for
25 cents. We did not believe there was
a paper in Georgia so bad off for adver
tising as to take that; but we see that
wo were slightly mistaken. We wish
parties in Gilmer to recollect tbat when
they pay S2,50 for advertising a levy
that $2 25 goes into the Sheriff’s
pocket, and 25 cents into the poor prin
ter’s. This is giving shares about like

rent, and put oflf the poor nephew with
ihe peck.
Our patrons will find that we publish
the sales for their information, although
we get nothing for it. We prefer this
to accepting the generous offer of the
Sheriff, which reminds us of the proposal
of an old fellow to hire a man to fish for
him. The man was going along by his
house, when the old fellow hailed him :
** Look here, I want to hire you to fish
for me.”

Last week was a busy week with the
people of Calhoun generally, as the Su
perior Court was in session. Judge Ir
win presided with great dignity, and dis
patched business with brevity, sagacity
and prudence. The people of this flour
ishing place give him great honor for his
firmness and manly demeanor, while a-
mongst as. There was quite a number
of eminent lawyers in attendance, and
many able addresses were delivered be
fore the Court. Several days during
the week there was the largest collection
of people on the public square, overseen
in Calhoun before. This place is rising
in importance, and will continue to rise.
Tho Grand Jury recommended, in
their presentments, that the Inferior
Court should lay an additional county
Tux for poor school purposes, which
will enable us to have some better schools
in the county than we have had hereto
fore. Our schools in town are still go-
! tion, sometimes better, and sometimes
worse, until Saturday last, when she was
supposed to be better than usual. On
that day, taking her four little children,
the eldest being about five years of age,
she went to Potter’s Mill-pond, about
three miles distant, and plunged them
all in, intending to drown herself. For
tunately, a young man by the name of
Alfred Wilson, (who deserves a great
deal of credit,) was fishing, at a consid
erable distance, and was attracted by
the cries of the children. He hastened
to their assistance, arid heroically plung
ed into the water, which was vere deep,
and succeeded in saving the lives of two
of the children, recovering the dead body
of the third, and rescuing the unhappy
woman. All attempts to find the body
of the smallest child were fruitless ” •

Speeches of Messrs. Hillyer
and Jackson of Ga.
M e find the following telegraphic re
port of remarks of Messrs. Hillyer and
Jackson of this State, and others, on
lGth ult., in the Biltimore American :
Mr. Hillyer.—After stating that in
the Union party of Georgia ihere was
not to be found one free soiler, one Ab
olitionist, one man for protection, oV
one for internal improvements, but that
all are for strict observance of the Con
stitution and the sovereign rights of the
Sta’es, he went on to vindicate its posi
tion, and to show that it acted consist
ently, anti that its members were actua
ted by love of countrf. He then ad
verted to the course pursued in Geor
gia, consequent upon the admission of
California, and the passing of the com
promise measures, and read extracts from
papers that are the organs of the State
Rights party, published before the Geor
gia Convention assembled, evincing a
determination to re.-ist, and declaring
the dissolution of the Union as a consum
mation devoutly to be hoped for.
He expressed himself in favor of the
Union party joining the Democratic par-
iy, and sending a delegate to the conven
tion of Georgia. He reviewed the state
of parties in Europe; declared the in
stitution of slavery to be perfectly se
cure ; and said there must be somethin"
wrong in Massachusetts, when they had
to pass a law in favor of the marriage of
white men with colored women.
In the course of his remarks, Mr.
Hillyer said the Union Party cannot act
wi'h the Whigs. There was the Wbi"
gentleman from Massachusetts, who vo

week, on account of the illness of the
teacher, who has been very sick : but
we hope soon to have her services again.
The citizens are still building pretty
largely, and will continue to do so as
fast as lumber can be obtained. We
expect soon to have a very large briuk
depot built, which will contain several
thousand bushels of grain, together with
all other matter to be shipped ; I fear,
however, that it will not be large enough,
for this is a great shipping point.
I have not been very far into the coun
try from town yet, but I learn that the
land is very good, which necessarily must
build up this place in a few years. It
is true tbat the location of Calhoun is
not as desirable as some might wish, as
there is a considerable bill between the
town and stm rise ; yet, notwithstand
ing, this isolated objection, I am per
fectly delighted with the appearance and
prospect of the place.
We are situated within a few miles of

The Spiritual Knockings Sci
entifically Explained.
We ask the serious attention of our
readers to the f Mowing lucid explana
tion of the great Spiritual Rappirtgs, so
much talked of these days, which wc find
in the Chronicle §■ Sentinel:
That the mysterious and wonderful
knocking? and rapping? of the “spirits”
at Rochester and elsewhere would some
day be explained, we never had the least
doubt; but we did not dare to hope that
the elucidation and clearing up would
come so soon. In these progressive
times, however, science seems to be shod
with the “ nine league boots” of the
fairy talc, and the gigantic strides of her
votaries, fills us with emotions in which
awe, wonder, and astonishment arc so
intimately conglomerated and “ mixed
up,” that we can hardly tell “ which
from t’other or t’other from which!”
Of the laborious and difficult process by
which the scientific correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial arrived at the
following conclusions, we can say noth
ing; but the precision, elegance and lu-
lidity of the explanation must make it
self obvious to the “ meanest capacity.”
In allusion to the tappings, this profound
philosopher beautifully observes:
“The only true and legitimate man
ner of accounting for the taps, is the
physiological defects of the membrane
ous sys’ein. The obtuseness of the ab
dominal indicator causes the cartilagi
nous compressor to coagulate into the
diaphragm, and depresses the duodenum
into the flandango. Now if the taps
were caused by the vocation of the elec
tricity from the extremities, the tympa
num would also dissolve into spiritual
sinctunt, and the olfactory ossifieator
would ferment and become identical
wi'h the pigmentum. Now this is not
the ease; in order to produce tho taps,
the spiritual rotundunt must be elevated
down to the spiritual spero. But, as I
said before, tho inferior ligaments must
not subtend over the digitorum sufficient
ly to disorganize the stericletum.”

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
Washington, March 20.
Genl. Cass has explained at length
his Nicholson letter, and vindicated it
front the strictures of Col. Jefferson
Davis, who, in a letter recently publish
ed, puts upon the Nicholson letter a
construction which Genl Cass does not
assent to. V hen the Nicholson letter
appeared Mr Calhoun and Mr Rhett
took widely different views of it. Mr.
Calhoun put a construction upon it of a
character unfavorable to the South. Mr.
Iihett, as I have understood, took anoth
er view of the meaning of the letter, and
it is evident that South Carolina had al
so, for she gave her vote to Genl. Cass.
The Nicholson letter is capable of two
constructions, but it is now quite certain
