[tri&wlm] Erratum.—On last Saturday in oom- menting on Col. Fouohe’s speech on . the 23d, the types made us speak of the lows of the Kansas Legislature pro hibiting slavery, as “constitutional re- ^ striotions.” Of course we meant just the reverse. The Accident to Miss Slack.—The Chronicled; Sentinel announces that relia ble information has been received by the friends of Miss Martha Slack, at Augusta, which strengthens the hope of her ultimate recovery from the dis tressing accident she recently met with at Cave Spring. Decrease in Slave Property in Floyd County.—By an examination of the tax returns for 1859 and ’CO it will be ob served that there is a decrease in the Rvalue of slaves this year from the lost, of $099,023, or according to their aver* age value ($651,70,) equivalent to one thousand and seventy-two slaves. How is this vast discrepancy to be accounted for ? Is it a mistake in. the returns ? or in the figures ? Or have that many ne groes, or a smaller number equal to them in value,’ been taken out of the county? Can somebody answer? Negro Shot.—On Sunday night one of the guards detailed to maintain order in the city, seeing a couple of in dividuals in close conversation, ap proached them, who when tlioy discov- ered him took to their heels. He pur- • sued them and ordered them several times to stop, which they refused to do, nml observing they were fast gaining on him, he fired. One of them, a negro man, belonging to J. C. Barnett, Esq., of Madison, Ga., and hired by Mr. G. N. Wright of this place,was badly hurt, about eighteen buck-shot having taken effect upon his porson. The other individual was run out of | town for about a milo but escaped.— ’ Tho negro who was shot gives as his reason for not stopping, that n couple of | men had a little whilo before endeavored to carry him by force out of town* threatening to shoot him if he resisted. WIe managed to get away from them "Tmd thought they were after him again when hailed by the guard. He says the person he was with was a negro whom ho had never seen before. Latest lews.

The Neapolitans elaim.that they have repulsed an attempted|landing of Gari- baldians near Reggio. It was reported that if Garbaldi lands in Naples, Gen.

First Nxw Cotton.—Messrs. Elliott <fc Bussell received, per Steamer Alfarata, on Friday evening last, two bales of Mew cotton—class, good middling— which was purphased by Mr. W. J. T. Hughes at lOe. The above cotton was Kdsed in Cherokeo county, Ala., by E. 1. Thornton and D. A. Miller. If we re not mistaken this is the earliest ever rought to this market. i •—.— ’ I’ Milancholv Accidbnt.—On Saturday Jtcrnoon James Scoggins, of this coun - y, went home intoxicated, and wishing o discharge a loaded pistol,fired it from he house into the yard. The ballen- ; ered the body of his little daughter 1 about five years of ^ge, whom he did lot see when he shot, and in about half m h ur she died. The verdict of the i kroner’s inquest was in accordance with the foregoing facts. It is a solemn ' warning against intemperance, and ^Carelessness in the use of fire arms. A Strangx Bedfellow.—Mr. & Mrs. IcCann, living on MoGavook street, lashville, retired to bed on Sunday ght, and were there visited by a streak ' Ijghtnmg. Their little girl was also i the bod. The lady states that to all pearanoe the lightning entered by the ilmney flue, and was attracted to the d by an iron rod used for the mus- ■quito bar. The entire foot of the bed was shattered into a thousand pieces, and yet, despite their intimacy with the dangerous moment, the occupants of the bed were not injured. The gentle man, however, says that it woke him up, a fact we deem highly probable.—Aug, Chron. Slave Increase.—The new census will probably show the number of slaves, in the United States, to be over 4,000,000. This is on the computation that the rate of increase will be not less than it was from 1840 to 1850. The addition to the numbers within that period was 716,756, the rate of increase nearly 29 per cent; more precisely28.80 per cent. At this rate the increase, which is net likely to be less, computations have been made of the future numbrrs of tho slave population, within a few years. Tho figures are, indeed, startling, from their magnitude. It is very certain, that within the first quarter of the next century, it will beat least fifty millions. The Tartar Emigration.-TIio gener al migration to Turkey of thej Tartars, the only agricultural population of the Crimea, has left that province in a de plorable state. The vineyards, which is the chief source of wealth of the moun tainous portion of the country, ore go ing to l-uin; and wages of a)i sorts have been increased to such an extent as to render production unprofitable, and the necessities of life exceedingly dear, Flounces to nE “all tiie Rage” Again.—Tho latest Paris fashions toll us that dresses are again universally trimmed with flounces, as better suited than anything else to the light material used ut this season. These, however, roach only half-way up tho skirt, and are often ornamented with ruches of narrow ribbon, or a 'small votan of silk cut out and laid at the edge of each flounce. Tho sleeves are worn open, and tho body is frequently made low, with a pelerine or fichu over it. BSyTlie following from the Louis ville Democrat is not bad: “We liavo nominated for our State electors the Hon. John C. Mason and Governor Archie Dixon. He had bet ter go further South. Ho must not cross ‘Mason and Dixon’s line.’" It is said that tho Empress Eu genie is about to present the Emperor with a new token of conjugal love. MARRIED-On the 23d inst., by Rev. P. M.

In the words of a poet, who hp* proved its oxcollont and varied qualities, It may now bo truly said— - Behold a double charm, wboso potent power. Adds a now grace to boauty’e choicest dower, Bids her rich euris a silken lustre win, Heals the tom flesh, and cools the burning ■kin.
