A. drunken negro in Washington county tumbled iuto bed, setting the mattress on fire. Both man and roattn were consumed. Naples, January 8.—-Mrs. Rose Potto has' made-the following blood curdling confession: Trusting that the ignominy which tins declaration will bring upon me will be accepted by my merciful Crea tor in atonement of my crimes, I. Rose Potto, truthfully state iu the presence of my spiritual adviser, that I am accountable for the murder of those infants whose bodies were found in my late residence by the public officers on the 13th day of December. For three years I pursued a terrible system of crime in order to satiate my greed for money, and I prevailed upon Margarite Coraldi, now in this prison, to assist me in perpetrating th* crimes of which I stand charged, and am guil ty. I earned advertisements to be published iu Neapoli a i journals, stat ing that any persons desirous at rid ding themselves of their edldiei, to prevent shame and -infamy, or for any cause, could procure relief by calling upon me; that I was prepared to take full charge of their children upon a certain sum being paid. I required no person to leave his or her name, aud am therefore unable to implicate any of those parties who encouraged me to perpetrate those crimes, for which I crave the Divine mercy. As far as I am capable of remembering, I wilfully starred to death about twenty children, male and female, by locking them in an empty a{inrtmcnt, whence I could not hear their cries, and whence no others could hear them. I administered poison at intervals to about the same number of babies; and \rhcn dead I, assisted by Margarite Coraldi, concealed the corpses below tlic tiles of the several floors of my house and beneath the gravel in the cellar. These murders only occurred wheu I could not rid myself of the in fants in any other 5vay. I adopted another wicked means of procuring gain by advertising that I could pro vide childless women with beautiful children for adoption, being compelled to part 4\ith them on account ’ of my poverty. In connection with the causes of my crime, I will state that my hus band, one Luigi Francesco Porro, of Genoa, abandoned me without cause ways, and one of the strangest things about them is their power of following the slightest track left by man or beast, however lightly or carefully they may have trodden to avoid pursuit. * There is a story told about a hunter, who, having killed a deer, cht off m structcd under the direction and skill of Prof. Volentine.’ And in order to complete it at the earliest possible day, the Executive Committee of the Lee Memorial Association, of Lexington, joint of the venison and hnng it on the I Va., which, is composed of such dis- iiinlmaf natl Sea Lore —* __ l* tl t__n I a• • ! 1 /e •• n highest nail in his wigwam or hot—a kind of tent all covered with skins.

A CTATECONgTITUTIOXAL CONVEY TIONI There is a resolution now pending before tho Legislature, calling for a State Convention, for the revision of the Constitution. This is a matter of great importance to our people, and one tliat we think Should receive the immediate attention of our Rq resenta- tives. That the present Constitution of our State—framed by negroes, traitors, and aliens, at the point of the bayonet, and at a time when corruption, bribery, terroism and rascality reigned preme—need thoroughly overhauling aud remodeling, we do not doubt anv sane man would, for an instant ques tion. t 01d time-honored laws and enact ments were obliterated, and in their staid were sulistituted such legislation hb suited the corrupt party then in power. There is much that ought to be done —many acts that, at the close of the war, may have been necessary, now, that peace has again resumed its sway, and our people are, iu a great measure, recovered from their financial embar rassments, should be modified. So we say, let there, by fill rara: s, htnitftd ^Constitutional Convention, at aaeariy day; and let it be composed of the people of Georgia, who have the good of the whole State at heart. It is tlie only vent left for us, and one which we should not hesi tate a moment to seize upon. Let it meet, discuss our laws, aud 4ve hope, wipe out every trace left upon our dear old State by tho vandals who held un- 1 iliaturlwl sway for so long-* time. 1 ' hope the press of Georgii (will discuss this matter iliurotighly, and im press upon our legislators the impor tance of the measure, * ..The J ors and officers of the Lhe passongo* __ steamship Huntsville, on her last trip from New York to Savannah, saw two sea-serpents, or the same onedonUe —they don’t kno5v which.

Jeff Long, and others, who have been preaching emigration to the ne groes, were shrewd enough tc have an eye to the main chance. They are said to receive five dollars a head for all they induce to gravitate towards Arkansas. A private letter from Dr. Henry, city physician of Atlanta, dated the 2d inst. says that there are five cases of small-pox in that city. The disease, we suppose, is scattered about almost everywhere sufficiently to justify all reasonable precaution to prevent its spreading. A negro magistrate has committed a poor ol i negreo aged seventy-four years, to jail, in default of $500 bail, for trial at the April term of the Richmond Superior Court, upon a charge of steal ing a piece of plank valued at fifty cents! D. W. Echols, colored, of Colum bus, published a card iu the Sun iu opposition to the colored emigntion West. He snvs: “ Let us remain in Georgia and till the soil, and by pa tience, industry and frugality, work our salvation here, where it has pleas ed a kind Providence to call us.

The Council Bluff Eonparcil says: W* are glad to see tint many of our citi zens are taking advantage of the. low price of com to lay in heavy supplies of it for fufl. We have experimented with it the last week, and find that it is an admirable substitute for both prices there is both economy and comfort in its usee. A ton of corn 33 bushels, at 17 cents per bushel, is 85.60. We consider this equal to cord of bard wood, as supplied and measured in , oiur market, at 87; the cutting of this cord, $1.50; total, 88,50. Thus making a saving uf near ly three dollars a cord. For kitchen fuel it is superior to wood, except hickory, and cheaper -than that makes » very hot fire with * great deal of blaze. We judge that three tons of com are equal to the heat of one ton ofhmd cod, while in eooQomy of its use it la equal to one and a half tons of opal.
