J. B. MURPHY
RESIDENT DENTIST,
R espectfully informs hi* friend*. and
the public generally, that he continues
the practice of DENTlStR Y in all its branch
es, nnd has fitted up an office, over the store
of McGuire A Pinson, where h« is prepared
to execute all operations appertaining to Den
tistry. in the most approved manner.
He would also call the particular attention
of thoia in want of Artificial Work, to his su
perior style of teeth, set on gold plate ; for
beauty, strength and life-like appoaeance,
they are not surpassed. As an impression has
beon made that my prices for dental opera
tion* are higher than the usual run of Den
tists, I beg leave to say that they are the same
as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon
and Savannan. For Artificial Work my char-
ges are as follows:
Entire Sets Upper and Lower from $100 to $25t
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 50 to 150
Temporary Sets, Upper and Lower, 25 each.
Partial Sets in proportion to tho above.
As I ani well posted in all the late improve
ments of the day, I feel confident that I ran
meet tho wants of al! who may need the ser
vices of a Dentist, and if re fere neon are want
ed; as to their utility in answering the purpo
ses of nature, I can give them in abundance,
from those who have tested my skill, for the
last fourteen years, in this, and adjoining

i. ^ U , P OU8e Representative* oe
the 15 th in reply to some assertions of
Mr. Stanton of Ohio, concerning the
leisure of Fort Pulaski and Jackson by
Georgia— J
Mr. Crawford of that State, said that,
so far as Georgia was concerned, she
had taken the forts because they were
intended for her protection and de
fence ; and she accepted all the respon
sibility.
Mr. Stanton understood, then, she
had taken on herself to carry on civil
war by doing that for which there was
no pretence of constitutional justifica
tion.
Mr. Hill of Georgia, remarked that,
so far as his understanding wentGoorgia
has not seised any portion of the public
property. Perhaps some bands of sol
diery, not having authority, did so. He
disclaimed the act on the part of Geor
gia acting as a state. (Cries on the Re

Mr. Crawford Baid that his colleague
(Mr. Hill) and himself differed as wide
ly os the poles. He thought the act
was justified by the popular vote of forty
thousand.
Mr. Hill remarked it wo3 not his pur
pose to join issue in a speculative opin
ion with his colleague. It was yet to
be seen whether the people of Georgia
approved of the act. Whether they
would or not, he did not know, but he
could say the seizure of Forts Pulaski
and Jackson was not authorized by the
Legislature or any Convention of the
the people. He had been always hop
ing for a peaceable solution, and trust
ed that Georgia might find it. He now
said, once for all, ho had thought from
the beginning that the discussion of
this subject would not bring them any
nearer to a peaceable solution. Since
yesterday he had been strengthened in
this opinon.
Mr. Love, of Georgia was not satisfied
with the explanation of either of his
colleagues. He thought both positions
wrong. The Legislature of Georgia
called a convention, which will pass on
the fact as to whether Georgia is bound
to maintain her position. Intermedi
ately, the people became alarmed, and
thought it probable tbe Government
would send garrisons and munitions to
the forts a the mouth of the Savannah
river, therefore the forts were seized as
a defensive act. If the Convention
shall determine that the State shall not
secede, then they will order the forts to
be given up.
Mr. Hardeman, of Georgia, said there
was no disguising the fact that the peo
ple of Georgia knew a great resolution
was going on, and that the Federal guns
were threatening a sister State; there
fore the Governor of the Slate, that he
might protect the people in advance,
took possession of the forts. This was
not justified by tbe usages of nations
except in revolutionary tunes. If Geor
gia snail determine to secede, no .doubt
tho act will be endorsed as a precaution
ary measure of safety. If not, theforts
will be returned to the Federal Govern
ment. If Georgia shall secede, he was
determined to stand by tho act of the
Governor, lor weal or woe.
Mr. Stanton replied: If we garrison
tho forts, gentlemen call it coercion. If
we leave them unprotected, they are
seized, and their guns fumed against
the constitutional authorities of the
country. lie held himself ready to re
move as fur as he could, delusions aud
to correct misrepresentations. He un
dertook to say, when the Republican,
Administration shall come into power-
lt will be demonstrated that it will act
on the principles of Jefi'erson, Mad'U
son, Monroe, John Quincy Adams Jack
sou, Hariison, and perhaps those of
Polk.
Mr. Leake, of Virginia, asked the
gentleman to explain how that could
Mr. Stanton replied it would be done
for the plain reason that it professes tbe
same principles as those Administra
tions or parties. He did not believe
the great masses of tbe South are dis
loyal to the Union. The ravings of
Garrison. Phillips, and such other men,
are uniting heart and hand with per
sons at Cbaileston to overthrow the
Government. These ravings and utter
ances have been disseminated through
the South as reflections of the doc
trines of the Republican party; und
acting on that idea, there is a resistance
of the exercise of constitutional powers.
He was willing so to amend the Consti
tution as to prevent the Federal Gov
ernment from interfering with slavery
in the States, except by a unanimous
vote of all the States, as proposed in the
committee of Thirty three. He did not
think this was necessary, but he would
remove a delusion. He was willing to
take the territorial question beyond
the jurisdiction of Congress, by admit
ting New Mexico into the Union os a
State.
Mr. Rust, of Arkansas, as a member
of that Committee, protested that they
had ever made such recommendations.
He did not understand that anything
had been approved by the Commitfce ;
and, on a direct vote, he believed the
Committee repudiated what purports to
be a report. Nothing was recommend
ed or adopted ; and itjwould bo equiva
lent to a fraud on the country to per
mit a statement the opposite of this to
pass nncontradictod.
WILFUL MURDER.
Allison Tolbert was murdered by
John K. Black,—both ?#f Calhoun

By an inquisition, a post-mortem ex

Taylor, on Saturday the 5th day of
January, instant, upon the body of said
Allison Tolbert, that the deceased came

survivors of the tragedy. The desceased
leaves a wife and two small children to
deplore the loss.

DESCRIPTION, Ac.
John K. Black, or John Kelly—tho
latter name which he will probably pass
—is about 5 feet 8 or 10 inches high;
weighs about 160 or 180 pounds; has
tolerable prominent cheek bones, light
hair and beard, inclining to be sandy—
the latter being somewhat sparse. His
chin inclined outward, with a dimple
or depression in the centre; has lost a
portion of the end of tho left thumb,
the end growing around the end. Ho
had on a suit of brown jeans when ho
went off. He has somewhat a down
cast look. 1 have no doubt but that a
liberal amount will be made up for
Blaoks arrest.—Jacksonville Republican.
Sxviv Fools.—1. The envious man,
who sends away his mutton because the
person next to him is eating venison.
2. The jealous man, who spreads his
bed with stinging nettles, and then
sleeps in it.
3. The proud man, who gets wet
through sooner than ride in the carri
age of his inferior.
4. The litigous man, who goes to law
in the hopes of ruining his opponent,
and gets ruined himself.
5. The extravagant man, who buys a
herring and takes a cab to carry it
home.
6. Tho angry man. who learns to play
the tambourine because he is annoyed
by the playing of his neighbor’s piano.
7. The ostentatious man, who illu
mines the outside of his house most
brilliantly, and sits inside in the dark.
—Punch.
A Coyrt Incident.—The amusing
little incident here related, actually
took place in one of our Northern
oourt rooms less than a century ago;
Enter juror, (who has detained oourt
at least an hour.)
Judge (much irritated)—“Mr. Clerk,
enter a fine of twenty-five dollars against
Mr. Smith.”
Smith—“Did I understand your
Honor to fine me twenty-five dollars t ”
Judge—“Yes, sir?”
Smith draws his pencil and addresses
the following note to his Honor:
“Dear J udoe—That little difference,
upon winding up our little game of
‘draw,’ amounted to just ‘fifty.’ Pay
the Clerk that ’twenty-five,’ and hand
the balance to the sheriff.
“ Yours, Ac., SMITH.”
(Sheriff hands note to Judge, who
inspects it for a moment. The judi
cial frown gives place to a most benev
olent and satisfied smile, as his Honor
stammers:)
“Ah—yes! certainly,—yes,—valid ex
cuse!—certainly,—valid exccse—cer
tainly 1 The clerk will remit Mr.
Smith’s fine.”
ISf-A printer, not long since, having
been “flung" by his sweetheart, went to
the office to commit suicide with the
“shooting-stick ;’’ the thing wouldn’t
go off. The “devil," wishing to pacify
him, told him to peep into tne sanctum
where the editor waa writing duns to
delinquent subscribers. He did so and
the effect was magical. He sayB that
licture of despair reconciled him to his
ate.
