Galveston. —Judging from the number of Church
es, Benevolent Societies, &c., in Galveston, Texas,
it must have considerable of a “ go-ahead-ative ” spi
rit, for so young a place. The “ News ” publishes a
“Directory” of the city, from which we gather the
fMlowing particulars:—
There are 7 Churches ; 9 Clergymen ; 1 Orphan
Asylum; 1 Catholic Benevolent Society; 1 Temper
ance Society ; 1 Bible Society; 1 German Benevolent
Society ; 1 Fire Company: 1 Debating Society; 1
Medical Society; 1 Literary and Scientific Society,
1 German Musical Society; 1 Grand Lodge of I. O.
O. F. ; 1 Degree Lodge of do.; 3 subordinate do.; 1
Masonic Lodge; 6 different Courts; 1 City Company;
1 Pilot Agency; 16 Physicians; 4 Notaries; 5 Ho
tels; 4 iron Foundry; 12 Teachers of public and pri
vate Schools; 1 Brass Founder; 4 Book Stores; 5
Apothecaries ; 26 lawyers; 2 Printing Offices ; and
other Tradesmen, Merchants, Grocers and Mechan
ics to match!
Galveston is only about the size of Columbus, yet
in many respects she is far ahead of our city in intel
lectual and social improvement, if the above schedule
is not a merely nominal manifest of her prosperity
and greatness.
The Sheriffalty. We understand that
the friends of Edu-ard K. Goulding, Esq., late
Ist Lieut, of the “ Georgia Light Infantry,” who
ha3 recently returned home front Mexico, are
desirous of bringing his name before the public
as a Candidate for the office of Sheriff of Musco
gee county, at the ensuing election in January.
Lieut. G. would doubtless make a good officer,
and would receive a handsome support from many
citizens of both political parties, were he to con
sent to run, or allow his name to be used as a
candidate for that important station. Without
disparagement to the claims of any other gentle
man named for the office, and without commit
ting ourselves to the support of any individual,
we think that the honors of civil station should,
in preference, be conferred on those—if equally
competent —who have seen service in the tented
field. Such a person is Mr. Goulding, and we
would rejoice in his elevation, according to his
merits.
More Rail Roads. —The citizens of Pulas
ki county are moving in the matter of a Rail-
Road from the Ocmulgee to the Flint River, and
from Hawkinsville to the Central Road.
The people of North and South Carolina are
likewise agitating Rail-Road projects in every
direction—one from Columbia to Greenville—
from Camden to Charlotte, and from Raleigh to
Camden.
A Daniel come to Judgement! —A Mas
sachusetts Judge lately decided that an Odd Fel
low, called as a witness in the case of Wm. R.
Canterberrv and others, who were on trial for
giving Exhibitions of Odd Fellowship without a
license, was bound to make the disclosure of the
secrets of Odd Fellowship, in answer to an in
quiry to that effect. The witness objected, as
he would thereby violate his obligation; but the
Court ruled it a penal offence to take such an
obligation, and that the witness must speak out—
though in so doing he would criminate himself!
Pshaw! How came such a fool of a Judge on
the Bench, even in old witch-ridden Massachu
-1 y, -
O*TEAeHKRS for THE Wkst.—Thirty-four young
ladies from the States of New York, Vermont, Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Maine,
have gone to the West in company with Rev. Mr.
Hopkins of Milwaukee. They are to be employed
as Teachers.
We apprehend that this is one of those matri
monial speculations which are sometimes got up,
“down east,” for the benefit of the supernumera
ry damsels of that region. They will doubtless
make good teachers, and as many, at least, as
3! young men of the West will be the willing
learners in the select schools which they will es
tablishj The Rev. Mr. Hopkins’ perquisites,
too, will yield a very fair per cent, on the invest
ment, or he is no Yankee !
Military Academy. —An institution of this
character is about to go into operation at Green
ville, Meriwether county, Ga., under the charge
of W. F. Disbrow and M. P. Tucker. Mr. IJ.
has been a successful teacher of Mathematics,
Arc., in the Raleigh, N. C., Military Academy*
Dead. —Mr. James Cnrnak, formerly Editor
of the Georgia Journal, and latterly of the South
ern Cultivator, died at his residence, in Athens,
Ga., on the 10th inst., aged 52 years.
Newspaper Union. The “United States
Gazette” and the “North American,” Philadel
phia, have been united, by the purchase of the
former for $15,000, by Messrs. Graham Ac Mc-
Michael, proprietors of the hitter. Mr. J. 11.
Chandler, the veteran Editor of the. U. S. Ga
zette, retires from the business.
More Candidates. —The lion. Ilincs Holt,
of this city, and the lion. Iverson L. Harris of
Milledgcville, have both been recommended in
the “ Messenger and Journal,” as suitable per
sons out of which to make a Whig Governor for
the State of Georgia.
A Grave Charge. —The Catholic Clergy of
San Luis Potosi, in their late address, say that
the Administration of the United States “have
taken rapid steps to possess themselves of the
angelic beauty of our weaker sex,” besides other
enormities specified. Wonder what Mrs. Polk
will have to say to such conduct 1
A Hard Hit. —Headley’s book of “ Wash
ington and his Generals,” has suggested another
work of the title of “ President Polk and his Gen
erals,” which will embrace a biographical sketch
of Gen. Don Lopez Santa Anna, Gen. T. Hart
Benton, Gen. Gideon Pillow, et cetera , with a
sac simile of the identical pass which was given
to Santa Anna, and an exposure of the way ip
which those three millions have been expended!
An exchange paper contains an advertisement of a
negro woman that has been committed to Jail as a
runaway and says that if she is not taken she will lie
dwelt with accordingly to law. We certainly never
before heard of that sort of penalty beiug inflicted up
on a negro woman for running away.— Talladega
Reporter.
Pooh! pooh ! man, it is a very common penal
ty in Georgia, as laid down and practised by
* some of our most distinguished expounders of
the law! The only difference is, that it is not
confined to “ runaways.”
Lagrange Reporter. This is the new
title given to the “Chattahoochee,” recently pub
lished in Lagrange, Ga., by TANARUS, J. Bacon, Esq.,
who has retired from the concern, having dis
posed of the same to Messrs. Mitchell &
Jones, who will continue the publication, with
out change of politics, I
ANOTHER JA’W-DICIAL CASE.
The following is an epitome of another case
which came offlast week in our Superior Court,
in which a Jew Mercantile House of New York
was Plaintiff, and which was managed by one of
their brethren of the “ tribe of Levi,” in this city,
as Counsellor and Attorney at Law :
L. MYERS & Cos. V
rs. > Assumpsit on open account for sl3l.
R. W. FOX. >
The Plaintiffs in action being non-residents
of the State, their Attorney presented himself in
the double capacity of witness and lawyer, but
this was objected to by the Defendant’s Counsel, 1
under the law, on the ground of incompetency,
because the law does not allow an Attorney to
be a witness for absent clients. This position
was sustained by the Court, and will go fir to
wards curtailing the practice of some Attorneys j
who have been in the habit of collecting for for- ‘
eign creditors, simply on the unguarded admis- \
sions of the Defendants in notion, against them
selves, on the application of the creditor’s Attor-;
ney for settlement, and the giving in, by the lat- ;
ter, of such admissions as the sole evidence, of in- \
debtedness. It will readily’ be seen how easy a
thing it is for a cunning, crafty Attorney, by such
a system, to-*titrap a debtor into giving testimony’
against himself, which shall answer in lieu of
account books and other vouchers of debt. Be
sides that, it offers improper temptations to such
witnesses, inasmuch as it is the interest of the
collecting lawyer not only to get the usual fee, :
but also to save himself from the legal responsi- ]
bility of costs, in cases where the Plaintiff is a I
non-resident!
We think, therefore, that the Court has very
properly decided against the admissibility of the
testimony of a lawyer in favor of his absent cli
ent, especially when such testimony is based on
admissions extorted or cunningly drawn out of
the Defendants in action.
Attorney for Plaintiff—F. Levison.
For Defendant—A. McDougald and A. Foster.

A CARD.
Dr. Andrews: I find in your paper of last
week, that 1 have been rudely and falsely assailed by
some malignant Derson, on account of my pleading
“infancy,” during the present term of the Superior
Court, in an action brought against me by Mrs. Mur
phy. I beg of the public to suspend forming a judg
ment against me, till I can put them in the possession
of the true history of that case.
The note sued on was a note given by John Allenst
as principal, and myself as security—although not so
expressed on the face of the note. It was his debt,
and given for a horse bought by him of Mrs. .Sarah
Murphy, and not for board or necessaries or “ chicken
fixins” of any sort. The said Sarah Murphy owes
“Backer & Allens” three hundred and fifteen dollars
on open account, for which she never paid a cent, al
though she and her daughters were gay as butterflies
in the goods she got at our store—which defence I
can make good to said note. The books arc now in
possession of Mr. Allenst, in Montgomery, Ala. but
QflQ Q!J §©©(g 11 ©IQWfMIN
which I will have on the next trial. Being disap
pointed in procuring the testimony on the first trial, I
was forced to throw myself on the plea of “ infancy,
which is true, notwithstanding the Gentile may not be
inclined to believe the Jew. Said Jews are a bve
word and reproach now, 1 perceive, to those who are
indebted to them for their Bible and faith and Chris
tianity. Be it so now ; it was so in the beginning,
but will not be so in the end.
If I don’t make tile above facts appear, it will he be
cause I don’t live long enough to procure the testi
mony. The widow Murphy nor myself, neither o!
us within my knowledge ever lived in Lafayette, A>a
She now lives in Clarke county, and did at the time
of the purchase of the said horse. 1 verily believe
she never could be so unjust as to urge this case, un
der the circumstances, to collection. Allenst lives tn
Montgomery, Ala. and why not sue there where he
lives, and where our account, from the evidence in
liis possession, could be made manifest against her ?
The reason is obvious : an advantage is sought by
someone in this city, who envies the prosperity ol a
Jew, who, perhaps, is doing a better business in trade
than the said Gentile. He has, without signing his
name, thrown a secret dart at my reputation —it shall
recoil upon his own head ! A. BACKER.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represen
■ tallies of the Stale of Georgia in General Assembly met,
and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same,
That so soon as this Act shall have passed agreeably
- to the requirements of the Constitution, the following
shall be adopted in lieu of the Section above recited,
; to wit: —No person shall be eligible to the office of
Governor who shall not have been a citizen of the
