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. Important Information. The following note was handed in, this morn ing, and we hasten to lay before the public the information it contains, as (o the size of the com panies constituting the new Georgia Battalion. Sixty-four privates will be sufficient for the pur pose.—Ed. Dcm. Columbus, June 24, 1847. Dear Sir: —l have received authority from the Adjutant General of the Army to muster into the U. S. service, any Companies containing the complement of commissioned and non-commissioned Officers, and sixty-four privates, (instead of eighty as was first in tended.) There are still three companies wanted, to fill up the Battalion called for from this State, and by pub lishing the above information, you will, perhaps, cause them to he brought here speedily—there having been, I am told, several companies formed containing sixty or seventy, which could not get up to eighty. The Rolls will he left open until the companies reach the number of ninety-four, all told. 1 am, sir, very’ respectfully’, Yourobed’t. serv’t. J. N. WARD, Lt. 3d InftV. Mustering Officer. Dr. L. F.

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.
