" ’ ■— “Mind Your own Business.” ' Under tho above plain, and hot very polite, demand, the Dalton Times indig- • .rWystetfonr Affair. A mysterious and suspicious affair has been tho exciting topic Of Conversation in Edgefield District, forA week or two mim, ih anhdvanced stage of decompo sition, was found in a dense pine thicket near the Edgefield road, about seven miles from; Hamburg. There was but little, in fact, except the skele ton, romalhing—only a dried coating of skin being apparent. Portions of the —the bones, do.—were scattered tout the place.. There was nothing discovered -about the remains-to give of only the least clue to their identity. One peculiarity, was noticeable—that all the teeth in the lower jaw Were double ex cept three .front ones, Whether the man perished from exposure, intemper ance, accident, or, more possible still, foul and bloody murder, are inscrutable mysteries whioh may never perhaps be revealed in this world. . A jury was sunithoned, and the case investigated'with what lights the ap pearance of the remains' and the spot furnished—and these were meagre in deed. The verdict was, of course, that tbe deceased came to his death from some cause to the jury unknown. . The gentleman who furnished us these particulars, states that last Christ mas night, persons in the vicinity heard cries of murder, and two pistol shots in succession.. Efforts were made at the time to ascertain whence or from whom they proceeded, but without avail. It was only by the merest accident that these remains have been found,but they give significance, perhaps, to this slight circumstantial evidence that a murder had been committed there.--- Augusta Chronicle. shadows they had cast before. Almost •simultaneously with the publication of Mr. Stephens’ letter in the Constitutioi •list appeared a lengthy communication from James Gardener Esq., proprietor of that paper. He had-just returned from Washington City and tolls tho ■ Southern people that Stephen A. Doug ina is the man for the emergency; the only one who can beat the Black Be- . publican candidate, and the proper can didate to-bo nominated at Charles- tone It will be remembered that the Consti tutionalist was ono of the most violent Opponents of the December ; Conven tion, and when we put all -tho facta to gether there is no longer room to dcubt that the March Convention was a Doug- vlaaconventipn, and the March delegates 'ff tfero Douglas delegates, and the Char leston nominee will be Douglas him- '-^Gr _ AhotheftoiambhilWeddihg. The JenkinB of the New York Herald, gives an account of a'marriage in up- §^tenj|,on, Avhich took place in New rork on Thursday last: The wedding took place" at the resi dence of the bride’s father, Mr. Van- lerpoel, in Madison avenue. Mr. Van- lerpoelis a wealthy and retired mer chant of this city, and is a brother of Judge Vanderpoel. They ore one of the oldest families of this city. The bridegroom is Mr. John Vandep poel, a lawyer of this city, and is a member of the family, although V3ry distantly connected. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. Jacob Vander poel. They were married ih the house by the Rev. Dr. Lathrop, of the Second Avenue Baptist Church. The brother of the bridesgroom acted at groomsman, and tfio fair sister of the bride assumed the. responsible position of bridesmaid. The bride was most richly dressed in white satin and lace, and wore a pearl necklace, said to be worth $1,800. She is youhg, handsome, prepossessing in gentlenian who was so fortunate as** to obtain her band was envied his good fortune by all present. After the cere mony the Rev. Dr. made a most elo- S uent prayer, in Which he Invoked the lessing of God upon the young couple, and hoped that he would give them race to enter upon the serious duties of lfe,with a proper spirit. ■ After the usual salutations from rela tives and friends, the company retired to the refreshment saloon, which was beautifully decorated with, real flowers, whioh were in such profusion that they hung in festoons from the chande liers. In a room off the saloon were the various presents which had been presented to tbe young couple. They comprise splendid silver and china tea sets, any quantity of silver spoons and forks, bracelets, napkin rings, watches, and among them all was a splendid] Bible, on which was a plate with thei: crest upon it. The presents wei chiefly from tbe relatives, and were numerous to classify. ' There were one thousand invitationi given out, and the scene outside th house was a very spirited one. Madisoi avenue and the side streets for som distance were filled with carriages, and] it was with difficulty that the visitori came and went. The bride and brid groom intend making an extensive] Southern tour, and end with making s trip to Havana. They left for Philadol _ohia yesterday afternoon, and will be absent some time. Everything passed off as “merry os a marriage bell.’’ The day was fine, the company in the best of spirits, and everything omened a "happy life to those who. hod been joined together in the bonds of matrimony, ^ * Complimentary, Viar 1—The Colum bus limes lays down tbe proposition that, “whom the gods would destroy they first make mad,’’and kindly sug gests, in that connect!*, that, “our demooratio cotemporaries in this State, in the espeoial interest of Mr. Cobb, thould be immediately oared for.” If the Cobb editors in Georgia are all crazy, we think DA Green is about to have his hands /full. He could quarter all the anti-Cobb democratic editors, comfortably, in any cell in the asylum, that wilt hold two single beds. —-Saxf, Republican, We think the Republican is right ill its bint, that the Anti-Cobb Democrats are tbe orazy ones—and suggest that hereafter, the old saying be changed to “As mad as a Maroh Democrat.” Thi Last Survivor or thb Wyoming Massacre.—A Harrisburg (Pa.) paper has intelligence of the death of Mrs. P. Weeden, the last survivor of the Wyo- retained a vivid recollection of the mas sacre until her death. She was a .priso ner with her sister in the fort where ev ery male was put to death by , the toma hawk. The sisters left the valley with their father and motherland .travelled with a flag of truce through the then dense forest, till within forty miles the Connecticut river. Edward Everett. Mr. Everett graduated at Harvard College, a prominent scholar, at theqee of seventeen; was called to suooeed Hr. Buekminiator in the Christian ministry at nineteen and at twenty wrote his learned ana able defence of Christian!- ty; at twenty-one was appointed Pro- ' * of the Greek language and litera- at Cambridge; was in Europe pre paring himself for the office the follow ing four years, and after discharging its duties for five years, was, at the age of thirty elected to Congress, where he continued, eminently distinguished, for teifjjfears; next, he was four years Gov ernor of of Massachusetts; after that, al the age of forty-seven, he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary- to England, remaining abroad five years; was r President of Harvard University three years; then, on the death of Dan iel Webster, was Secretary of State, and 1 finally Senator of the-Uniled States. Suoh lias been the noble-career of Mr. Evetott—alike elevated ’and intel lectual, whether in public or prffirate life, and productive alike of the learn ing and tne wisdom whioh enable • him, beyond any other man, to instruct and delight his oountrymen.—Boston Tran- script. / . ' The’Whitworth Gun. The English ^papers oontain quite lengthy reports of tne recent trials of tho Whitworth Gun, said to be superior ways to thpt of Sir. Wm, Arm- ong. With;a-three pounder, and nn ation of 3&, degrees,' loaded with eight ounces of powder, tlio first shot touched the ground gt 9,688 ^ards -dis- tance—more than five and a half miles —and only 34 yards to the right.of tbe true line. The'seoond lodged -in the sand at 9,645 yards, and 31 yards to.the right of the mark. With an elevation ' -of;-.-9,547 ’ailing on- i mark.— edby any rards; and mnder, fired elevation of The greatest ran. Armstrong gun, Ipfia 85 degrees. Mr. Whitworth claims that his guns also possess greater durability than any other. From one of them up wards of 1,500 snots have been fired, chiefly’nt high elevations, without the gun exhibitfng-anjr injury or sign of wear. The material used in tbe manu facture is homogeneous iron. Thepow- der used is contained in a tin cartridge case, about seven itiches long, and at the end which meets the shot is a small lump of grease, which being melted by the explosion lubricates the barrel from end to end. It is, therefore, never ne cessary to use a sponge, the gun at the end of a day’s firing being as clean and bright as if it had not been used at all.
