The following is the full text of Mr. Stan- berry’s conclusion in defense of the President: Senators, it was not at nil necessary for the defense of the President that in the exercise of that discretion which the law allows to him , he should be put to prove that his intentions I were all right. He has gone far beyond the j j necessities of his case. Never were good in- j ; tentiuns and honest motives more thoroughly ! i proved than they have been proved in this j i case. I repeat it, that if everything else were i made out, this great exculpatory fact must j absolve him from all criminal liability. And : now, Senators, I have done with the law and ! the facts in the case. There remains for me, | however, a duty to perform—one of solemn i import and obligation—a duty to my client, to j j my former chief, to ray friend. There may he those among you, Senators, | I who cannot find a case of guilt against the 1 ! President; there may be those among you who j ! are not satisfied that a case for impeachment i has yet arisen, but are fearful of the conse- | quencee of an acquittal. You may entertain j vague apprehensions that, fjush.ed with success of an acquittal, the President will proceed to acts of violence and revolution. Senators, you do not Know or understand the man. I can not say that you wilfully misunderstand him ; for I, too, though never an extreme party man, have felt more than once in the heat of party conflicts the same bitter and uncompromising spirit that may now animate you. The time has been when I looked upon Gen. Jackson as the most dangerous of tyrants. Time has been when, day after day, I expected to see him inaugurate a revolution, and yet, after his administration was crowned with success and sustained by the people, 1 lived to see him gracefullv surrender his great powers to the hands that conferred them, and under the softening influence of time I came to regard him not as a tyrant, but as one of the most j honest and patriotic oi men. Now listen for a moment to one who under- 1 stands Andrew Johnson better than most of ■ you, for his opportunities have been greater. I When nearly two years ago he called me from the pursuits of my professional life to take a j seat in his Cabinet, I answered the call under a sense of public dut}\ I came here almost a I stranger to him and to every member of the j cabinet except Mr. Stanton. We had been friends for many years. Senators, need I tell vou that all my tendencies are conservative? j You, Mr. Chief Justice, who have known me j for a third of a century, can bear me witness* : law, not arms, is my profession. From the | moment l was honored with a seat in the Cab- . jnet of Mr. Johnson, not a step was taken that did not come under my observation, not a j word was said that escaped my attention. J j regarded him closely in Cabinet, and still more j in private and confidential conversation. I saw him often tempted with bad advice, knew that evil councils were more than once around him. i observed him with the most intense anxiety, but never in word, in deed, in thought, in action, did I discover in that man anything but loyalty the lays. temptation to abuse his oyn powers or to ex ercise thos.e which were not conferred upon him. Steadfast and self-reliant in the midst of all difficulty, when dangers threatened, when temptations were strong, he looked only to the Constitution of his country and to the people. Yes, Senators, I have seen that man tried as tew have been tried. I have seen his confi dence abused. I have seen him endure day after day privations such as few men have ever been called upon to meet. No man could have met them with more sublime patience. Soon er or later, however* I knew the explosion must come. Aud when it did come, my onjy wonder was that it had been so long delayed. Yes, Senators, with all his faults, the President has been more sinned against than sinning.— Fear not* then, to acquit him The Constitu tion of the country is as safe in his hands from violence as it was in the hands of Wash ington. But if, Senators, yon condemn him ; if you strip him of the robe of office; if you degrade him to the utmost stretch ot your power, mark the prophesy: The strong arms of the people will be about him. They will find a way to raise him from any depths to which you may consign him, and we shall live to Fee him redeemed, and to hear the majestic voice of the people: Well done, faithful ser vant, you shall have your reward. But if Senators, as I cannot believe, but has been boldly said with almost official sanction, your votes have been canvassed and the doom of the President sealed, then let that judgment not be pronounced in this Senate chamber, just here where our Camillus, in the hour of our greatest peril, single-handed, met and baf fled the enemies of the republic; not here where he stood faithful among the faithless; not here where he fought the good fight for the Union and the Constitution; not in this cham ber, whose walls echo with that clarion voice that in the days of our greatest danger carried hope and comfort to many a desponding heart, strong as an army with banners. No* not here "seek out rather the darkest and gloom iest chamber iu the subterranean recesses of the capitol, where tbe cheerful light of day never enters.

Kerosene accidents occur from our sister town of New nan. At 6^ o’clock in i the earlv morn, the schools all marched in procession from the public square, with ele gant, tasteful aud appropriate banners dying, to the depot, where ike train was in readiness to receive the immense freight of happy hearts. Just at 7. the engineer “Mowed his whistle, and soon the cars were in motion; and altpr a pleasant ride of about two hours we arrived at Newt,an, w here we were hospitably received bv tbe Sunday Schools of that place, with a first rate band of music. The procession was re-formed «r.d marched up to the public square, passing through the open ranks of the New- Dan Sunday Scuools. Passing through ihe square the procession was lt d to a beautilul grove surrounding the Presbyterian t. hurcli, : where seats were prepared for the occasion. Here a very elegant and appropriate recep tion speech was delivered by L R. Ray,jind i handsomely responded to by \\ . P. Akers on j two causes: First, imperfect manufacture of the article; second, ad alterations. An imper fectly manufactured oil is that wpicii results when distillation lias been carried on at too low temperature, and a portion qf the naptha rents las in it Adulterations are largely maile by unprincipled dealers, who add 20 or 30 per cent, of naptha after it leaves ihe manufactu rers hands. The light napthas which have be^n spoken of, as known in commerce under the t ame of benzine, benzoline, gasoline, etc., are very volatile, inflammable, and dangerous. They, however, in themselves, are not explo sive, neither are they capable of furnishing any gas, when placed in lamps, which is ex plosive. Accidents of this nature are due entirely to the facility with which vapor is produced from them at low temperatures.— But the vapor by itself is not explosive; to render it so, it must be mixed with air.

A short time since, says the Nashville Ban ner, a revival of religion, conducted by minis ters of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, commenced at Jonesboro, East TtDnessec, and in less than a week there was an accession to the Church of over one hundred new members. The services were held in the Court House, the Radical wing of the Methodist Church having taken forcible possession of the church edifice rightfully belonging to the Church South. As might be anticipated, the Radicals I gratitude the generous and benevolent Railroad j j Superintendent, G'Jouel L. P.

Resolved 2. That we cordially thank Mr. Wm. Mims, the Supervisor, and the other ofli- [ cers of the Railroad for their kind co-operation §.nd fav.ors to the children. Resolved 3. Thai the Schools of LaGrange will long remember with emotions of pleasure the generous hospitality of the Schools and citizens of Newnan, and hope that the future will afford them an opportunity of returning a similar kindness. Resolved 4. That we devoutly bear in mind that all good/and ennobling and pleasant things are the gifts of our Creator, and to Him everv heart should return reverential thanks for the blessings and pleasures of this day'. Resolved 5. That our thanks are due and are hereby tendered to Conductors Ed. Chapman aud John Ewing for their courtesy and gentle manly bearing towards the Schools during the trip. At 4 o’clock the procession was re-formed and marched to the depot to return home. - After friendly adieus with pur Newnan friends the train moved off quietly at Half-past 4 o’clock, and in two hours all arrived safely at home, without a single accident or an incident to mar the pleasures and joys of the day'. It is hoped that we may have yet other agreeable re-unions with our Newnan friends, whose hospitality was so open and free on the occasion. We hope to welcome tbeAi to pg; - town in the same agreeable manner at some future day. The Newnan Brass Band, but recently organ ised, added much to the pleasures of the occa sion. The gentlemen composing it deserve j he readily seen. In using imperfect or ndul- ! terated kerosene, the space above the line of j oil is always filled with vapor; and §Q joug I as ii is warm, and rising freely, r.o air can I reach it and it is safe. At bed-time when the j family relircs, the light is extinguished; the : lamp cools: a portion of the vapor is con- ; dense 1 ; this creates a partial vacuum in tlie 1 space, which is instantly filled with air. The mixture is now more or less explosive; and when, iii on the next evening, the lamp is lighted without replenishing with oil, as is often done an explosion is liable to take place j [pile j;: the evening, i consumed, aud the I vapor, the lamp cannot explode sp Jong as it ! remains at rest on the table. But take it in j band, agitate it, carry it into a cool room, the vapor is cooled, air passes in, and the vapor becomes explosive. A case of lamp explosion came to the writer’s knowledge a few years since, which was occasioned by taking a lamp from the table to answer a ring of the door bell. The cool outside air which impigned upon the lamp in the hands of thp lady, rapidly condensed tlie vapor, air passed in, explosion occurred, which resulted fatally. If J.jie lamp had been full of fluid, this agphient could not have occurred. Before carrying it to the door, flame might have been thrust into the lamp with safety; the vapor would have ignited but no explosion would have taken place. GEORGIA RAIL ROAD. E. W.

The famine in tlie French colony of Algeria is accompanied by the most horrible cases of the sacrifice of h.umag. beings to the ravenous hunger of the survivors. One incident recalls viviflly to mind the account given in Scrip tures of the seige of Samaria by the King of Syria. Two women of tlie same Aiab tribe, having each a child, and being unable to ob tain food from any source, agreed to devour the two little ones. Lots wete drawn, and the first victim duly consumed. When jt became the turn of the other mother to syyrnnder her child, she refused to fulfil her part of the com pact, and the dispute which took place in eon sequence brought the whole affair to light.— Again, there are yell authenticated iqstances in which French soldiers have been murdered and eaten by' Arabs, who, in addition, are constantly attacking each other and the ne groes to procure corpses for food. The French newspapers are filled with the details of these shocking atrocities, and they declare that the two millions of francs recently' voted by the Legislature is altogether insufficient to relieve tbe famine. were aroused, and, in keeping with their tac- the thanks of all who were present.

Amidst this terrible disorder the sentinel at the gate had been forgotten; ami as Rome required her sentinels, happen ^mat might, to hold their post till relieved by the guard or set at liberty by their officers* he had to choose between death and dishonor. Pattern of fidel ity. he stood at his post. Slowly but surely the ashes rise on his manly form ; now they reach his breast; and row. covering Iris lips, they choke his breathing. He also was “faith ful "unto death.’’ After seventeen centuries thev found this skeleton standing erect on the marble niche, clad in its rusty armor the helmet on bis empty skull, and his bony fin gers still closed upon his spear.

These were arranged i under large tents formed of matting, and ccn- i tained many young girls of extreme beauty, ranging from nine to seventeen years of age. ■ These lovely captives, of rich brown tint, with ’ delicately formed features and eves like those of tbe gazelle, were natives of the Galia, on Abyssinia, from which country ht by the Abyssinian traders, j to be sold for the !u;ki|h harems. Although , beautiful, these girls are useless ior hard la do*: i the*' quickly fade away and die unless kindly treated. Thev are the Venu-ses of that court- ■ trv, and not or.ly are their faces and figures perfection, hut they become extremely attached to those who show them kindness, and they make good and faithful «ives. There is sotnethin^ peculiarly captivating in tbe natural grace and sof'ness of these young ' beauties, whose hearts quickly respond tc those warmer feelings of love that are seldom ■ • known amon-T the sterner and coarser tribe;. Their terms are peculiarly elegant and grace ful, the hands and feet are exquisitely delicate, ■ the nose is g ner.iiiy slightly acquiline, the , nostrils lareeiy :od finely shaped; the hair is black >.rtd glossy, reaching to about t::e middle . of the bacE, but rather coarse in texture.^ ; The girls &Lhough natives of Gala, invaria ble call themselves Abyssinian*, and are gen erally known under that denomination.
