THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.
Kelative Strenght of Scott, Fill
more and tbe Compromise.
The intelligent Washington correspon
dent of the New York Journal of Com
merce, in a letter dated last Friday, gives
out the following speculations in relation to
the strength of Fillmore and Scott, in the
Whig National Convention :
The friends of General Scott are not all
discouraged as to his nomination by the
position taken bv the Southern Whigs.
They claim four votes for him from the Ken
tucky delegation, and four from Virginia.
They allow Fillmore and Webster only
three votes in the whole New York dele
gation, and not twenty altogether, from all
the non-slaveholding States.
The chiefs of the Seward wing of the
Whig party have already agreed upon the
terms of a paper, expressing views of the
Whig party as to the Compromises which
General Scott is to indorse, and which to
Mr. Mangum, Mr. Stanley and Gov. Jones
and to several members from Kentucky,
will be entirely satisfactory, though not to
tbe great body of Southern Whigs. This
document is to be promulgated on the eve
of the Convention. I am assured that this
is a settled matter, and it is pretty much
what has been expected.
The friends of Gen. Scott in the present
state of circumstances, claim one hundred
and sixty votes from the non-slaveholding
States; three votes from Delaware; tour
from Kentucky ; and four from Virginia :
making 177 votes; leaving Mr. Fillmore and

they state as the result of the first ballot;
and they go on to claim the ultimate assent
of all or nearly all the Northern Whig
delegates from the non slaveholding States.
But on the other hand the friends of Mr.
Fillmore are perfectly confident of this nom
ination on the first or second ballot. Their
plan is as follows:—The Fillmore and
Webster delegates will unite with the
Southern delegations, upon the Compro
mise platform, as a preliminary step to any
proceeding in the Convention. This they
can carry; and it will exclude any candi
date as a nominee, who does not come up
to that platform.
The friends of Mr. Fillmore claim for him
12 votes out of the^ New York Delegation
and they claim forty votes, altogether, for
Fillmore oi Webster, out of all the North
ern Delegates. Adding these forty votes
to the 116 votes from the South they have
a majority not only for establishing the fi
nality of the Compromise as their principle
but for the nomination of Mr. Fillmore.
South Carolina State Conven
tion.
The Convention adjourned finally, (says
the Mercury of Saturday,) at a quarter past
six yesterday evening. Its whole action is
embodied in the Report of the Committee
of Twenty-one, which we publish this
morning in the regular proceedings. That
report, the telegraph informs us, was adopt
ed, ^7 yeas 136 nays 19. It embraces, 1st
a resolution to the effect that the State has
good cause to secede from the Union, and
forbears to do so only from motives of ex
pediency; and 2d, an Ordinance, declaring
and ordaining the right of secession as a
prerogative of the State, for the exercise of
which at any time she is accountable only
to God and the public opinion of the world.
The Resolution and Ordinance we give
below, The Mercury seems well pleased
with the action of the Convention.
Resolved, by the people of South Caroli
na in Convention assembled. That the
frequent violations of the Constitution of
the United States by the Federal Govern
ment, and its encroachments upon the re
served rights of the soverign States of this
union, especially in relation to slave amply
justify this State, so far as any duty or ob
ligation to her confederates is involved, in
dissolving at once all political connection
with her co-States, and that she forbears
the exercise of that manifest right of self
government from considerations of expedi
ency only.
An Ordinance to declare the right of this
State to secede f rom the F'ederla Union
We the people of the State of South Car
olina in Convention assembled, do declare
and ordain, and it is hereby declared and
ordained: '
That South Carolina, in the exercise of
her soverign will, as independent State ac
ceded to the federal Union, known as the
United States of America, and that in the
erercise of the same sovereign will, it is her
right, without let, hinderance, or molesta
tion from any power whatsoever, to secede
from the said Federal Union; and that for
the sufficiency of the causes which may im
pel her to such separation, she is responsi
ble alone, under God, to the tribunal of
public opinion among the nations of the
earth.
An Execution in California.—The fol
lowing thrilling account of an execution in
California was related to a recent traveller
by a ruffian who took part in it:
“It was just about daylight. They car
ried him to the horse-market, set him on a
table, and tied the rope round one of the
lower branches of a big elm tree. All the
time l kept by his side, and when he was
getting on the table, he ask me to lend him
my revolver to shoot one of the jurymen
who had spoken violently against him.
When I refused, he asked me tp tie the
knot so as it would’nt slip. “It ain’t no ae
count,” said I, “to talk in that way, Jim, old
fellow, you’re bound to die; and if they did’nt
hang you I’d shoot you myself-,” “Well
then,” said he, “give me hold of the rope,
and I will show you how little I care for
death.”
He seized the cord, pulled himself an in
stant out of the crowd, and sat cross-legged
on the bough. Half a dozen rifles were
raised to bring him down, but reflecting
that he could not escape, they forbore to
fire. He tied a noose in the rope, put it
round his neck, slipped it up till it was pret
ty tight, and then stood up and addressed
the mob. He didn’t say much, except that
he hated them all. He cursed the man he
shot; he then cursed the world, and last of
all he cursed himself, and with a terrible
oath he jumped into the air, and . with a
jerk that shook the tree, swung backwards
and forwards over the heads of-the crowd.’’
Wreck of Fiftt Sealing Vessels in
the Ice. -Great Loss of Life,—We have
already statedjthat the steamer Osprey from
St. John, N. F., April 23d, had arrived at
Halifax with accountsjof the wreck of between
fifty and sixty vessels in the ice in the gale of
April 20th. The Newfoudland papers
state that the loss of life has been considera
ble, how great it is not known. A list of
tighten vessels lost with full cargoes of skins,
is given one of which had five of her crew
drowned an another two. In many cases
as the vessels drifted towards the ice, the
crews deserted them and escaped to the
shore.—In some cases the abandoned ves
sels have been taken into port.
Hundreds pf the crews of wrecked vessels
are said to be on Richard Island, Bonavesta
Bay, in a state of starvation. The As
sembly of Newfoundland has requested the
Governor to appropriate £300 for their relief
& 4 or 5 vessels would sail to them as soon
as the wind would permit. A vessel had
arrived at St John, which reported, that
upwards of one thousand shipwrecked seal
ers had reached Greenford, but the number
is probably exaggerated.
The disaster is said to be nearly equal to
that at Prince Edward Island last year.
Particulars of tlic Slave Case.
The killing of the negro named Smith
here yesterday, has produced considerable
excitement.
It appears that Deputy Marshal Snyder,
of Harrisburg, accompanied by Police offi
cer Ridgely, of Baltmore, and Mr. Stansbu-
ry, of Maryland, arrived here yesterday,
for the purpose of arresting an alleged fugi
tive slave, claimed by Mr. Stansbury.
About 3 o’ clock the party proceeded to
a lumber yard in the southern extremity of
the town, where the negroj was engaged pi
ling lumber, attempted to arrest him. He
made an effort to escape, and in the scuffle
bit Mr. Ridgely’s finger—holding it in his
teeth. At thisjuncture Mr. Ridgely drew
a pistol, which in the scuffle went off, the
ball nassim? into the neero’s neck, and he
f o o '
fell dead on the spot.
—Upotr the result feeing known, Mr. Ridg
ely said he would give himself up to the
authorities but upon the arrival of the offi
cers at the hotel he could not be found.
Officer Snyder took the cars for Harris
burg where he had been temporily arrested
but subsequently liberated without examin
ation.
Deputy Cororner Fisher held an inquest
over the body of the negro, and a verdict
was rendered according to the above circum
stances.
The dceased leaves a wife and two chil
dren.
—He had resided in Columbia eighteen
months.
.These facts are gathered from the pro
ceedings at the Coroner’s Jury.—Columbia,

Board of Visitors for the State Univer
sity.—We learn from the Milledgevilie Re
corder that the following gentlemen have
been appointed as a Board of Visitors for
the State University, by Govenor Cobb:
William Cumming, Augusta.
Hon. Rob’t. M. Charlton, Savannah.
Hon. Hines Holt, Columbus.

Rev. A* Means, Oxford.
Dr. H. V. M. Miller, Rome.
A fellow, whose countenance was homely
enough to scare the old one, was giving some
extra flourshes in a public house, when he
was observed by a Yankee, who asked him
ifhe didn’t fall into a brook when he was
young.;
.“What do you mean, you impertinent
scoundrel!”
“Why, I didn’t mean nothin,’ only you
have got such an all-fired crooked mouth, I
thought as how you might a fail’d in the
brook when you was a boy, and your mother
bung you up by the mouth to dry!”
A writer in the New York Journal of
Commerce attributes the breaking of the
ftgles of Railroad Cars to torsion, or twist
ing, occasioned in turning curves.
A Cool Proceeding.—A gentleman go
ing down to New York, in a Northern river
boat, the other day, missed his tooth brush
and on looking around was astonished to
perceive a country gawk applying it vigor
ously to his tobacco stained ivories.
“My friend, you have made a very great
mistake in using my brush,” said the gen
tleman.
“Your what! your brush f You don’t
mean to say that this here’s your, tooth
brush.”
“I do, sir, but it is of no consequence now
you are welcome to the brush.
The fellow looked puzzled at first, after
ne suspected a trick, but at "length he ex
claimed:
“Here yeou, take your confounded thing
umbob! But I should like to know what
has become of the tooth brush that belongs
to the boat ? n
Geu’l. Sam’l Houston.
Gen. Houston was born in Virginia .in
1793; his ancesteron both sides Scotch. His
parents were poor and his means for acqui
ring an education, very limited. When he
was thirteen years of age, his father died and
his mother removed to the west. In the
year 1813, he enlisted in the army and ac
companied Gen Jackson in his Indian wars,
and was distinguished for his courage and
coolness’ and several times severely woun
ded. He was ever a devoted friend to Gen
Jackson, who always reposed entire con
fidence in him. He left the army at the
age of twenty-five, and commenced the study
of law in Nashville, Tennessee, after a few
month’s severe stu r 'y was admitted to
the bar, and immediately commenced
his new profession. ^Iu 1821 he was elec
ted Major General of Tenessee. In 1823
he was elected to Congress without opposi
tion. In 1825 was returned a second time
to Congress almost by acclamation. His
popularity rose to such a heightthat in 1827,
he was elected Govenor of Tennessee by
majority of more than 12000 votes, and his
accession to the office, found him without
an opponent in the Legislature. In the
midst of his gubernatorial term, (January,
1829, he contracted a mariage which, in
less than three months thereafter, ended in a
separation of the parties. It is not known
however to this day, what were the real
causes of this unfortunate result, for Hous
ton’s lips have never been opened upon the
subject to a single human being. It is enough
to know that he changed all his plans
purposes in life, for, he instantly resigned his
office of Govenor, exiled himself from all the
habitations of men. He went to the wigwam
of his adopted father, the chief of the Chero-
kees in Arkansas and sat down in the corner
of the lodge that had been assigned him
by the savage, some dozen years before.
During his residence among the Chero-
kees he exerted a good and powerful influ
ence, and was looked up to as a distinguish
ed chief.
“It was his intention to devote himself to
a herdsmau’s life, in the tranquility of the
prairies, but he was not permitted to carry
into execution this design. Leaving his
wigwam on the 1st December, 1831, with
a few companions, he made through the
wilderness for Fort Towson, and reporting
himself to the authorities at Nacogdoches
San Felipe de Austin, and San Antonio de
Baxar, he held an interview with a delega
tion of Camanche Indians, then on a visit to
the latter place. On his retnrn, he was so
licited by the people of Nacogdoches to es
tablish himslfamongst them permanently,
and to allow his name to be used in the can
vass for a convention, which was to meet in
the following April, to consider the expedi
ency of applying for the admission of Texas
as a State, into the Mexican Union He
consented, for he saw that a great destiny
awaited the people who should inhabit that
region—that this was a field wherein all the
bold elements of his character could find
full play, and that he might be enabled so
to direct them in his new sphere as to ben
efit his fellow men. This was the commence
ment of Gen. Houston’s brilliant career in
Texas. He was th< commander-in-chief, at
the battle ofSan Jacinto, which decided the
fate of that country. He was the first Pres
ident of the new Republic, which soon after
became one of the States of this Union, and
the Hers of San Jacinto was called to repre
sent her in the United States Senate.
The writer of his life represents him to
be an honest, brave, and humane man, with
a clear head and a well balanced mind, and
concludes by recommending him to the
people of the United States as a suitable
man for the Presidency.
‘ Glory to goodness!” said a woman who
had financiered out of a qnandary,“ I have
borrowed money enough to to pay all my
debts!”
A poet out West, speaking of a late tor
nado says, “the frighened weathercocks a-
larmed the spires.” This is almost equal
to Nat Lee’s celebrated line—
A mad potatoe went howling down the
gale.’
James H. Gilmore, a Justice of the Peace, who
was sitting fey the side of Mr. Warthen, mod
estly thought that they could do nothing until
there was a case before them; there was no
warrant, he said, by which they could deter
mine the character of the crime. Upon this
timely suggestion, the Sheriff, who was selling
property below stairs, was sent for and came
up with the warrant. Mr. Gilmore looked at
it, and the affidavit and remarked, that, in fixing
the amount of bail to be taken where the pris
oner was willing to give bond without an exa
mination, he should make it according to the
enormity of the offence charged in the affidavit
—that in this case he did not consider $1000 a
bit too large. [This was the amount which
the first committing court placed as the bail,
and Mr. G. was one of that court aiid heard
the evidence.]
Upon hearing this, Mr. Langmade, the pris
oners’ counsel, arose much enraged, and said
that he did not thank any volunteers to be
coming in with their prejudices, pushing them
selves and their advice upon the court.
Mr. Gilmore arose from his seat—said he
knew he was referred to, and would have noth
ing to do with the case till he was legally call
ed to sit upon it. An obstacle to tbe recep
tion of $500 bond was now out of the way, and
we fought its reception on the ground that one
Justice of the Peace was not authorised by
law, to receive a bond in a case of felony—
that in order to put a party upon his bail for
such an offence, two Justices must sit and con
cur in opinion.
We did hope to succeed here upon the plain
provisions of the law, but reason and law and
justice were utterly unavailing in this emer
gency of the defendant’s cause. W. B. Warth
en, the Justice of the Peace, admitted that it
was doubtful in his mind whether he had the
right to sit alone and bail for felony—he knew
that he could do so legally, with the concuring
opinion of another Justice. There was anoth
er Justice in the room a part of the time, and
within his call the wholetime, and instead of
calling him to his aid and pursuing a plan
which he said he knew to be right, he prefer
red to use what he admitted was a doubtful
right, and discharged the prisoner, as we con
sidered, illegally and upon a small and incon
siderable bail, for an offence which, if proven
as charged, will challenge the records for a
parallel. And this was not all: after the bond
lad been received, Mr. Hook proposed to ex
cept to the proceedings under a statement of
them, set down and wrote out a sort of com
pendium of what had transpired. Mr. Warth
en and Mr. Langmade came in to hear them
read; Warthen listened attentively till a por
tion of them was read where he was referred
to as “the court,” when he objected, saying
that he did not sit as a court but was merely
called in as a Magistrate.
How a proceeding of this sort can be justi
fied I am at a loss to imagine, and why the
prosecution was so summarily and cavalierly
disposed o p , I leave others to judge. Mr.
Warthen, I think,justified his decision and pro
ceedings under the advice of Mr. Saffold,
whom he had consulted as a disinterested At
torney.
The discharge was speedy, as the bond, ord
er of discharge and everything else, seemed to
be cut and dried for the occasion. I have
stated the facts, and am willing to attest them
in a more solemn form. I have exposed them
as T will every attempt of such a judicial cau
cus, to defeat justice and violate the law.

A CARD.
In deference to the advice of ■ some
friends, and in justice to myself, I take the lib
erty of placing a statement before the public.
On Monday last, I was requested to appear
with Mr. Hook, the counsel for Alexander E.
Lawson, to resist the application of James A.
Lyons for the writ of habeas corpus, and who
was then imprisoned on a charge of an assault
with intent to murder. The Inferior Court
heard the cause and discharged the prisoner
for some informality of the proceedings. So
far this was all fair enough. Immediately up
on his discharge he was arrested by the Sheriff
on the same charge, the affidavit having been
made before, and the warrant issued by, Wm.
B. Warthen, a Justice of the Peace in this
county. Upon the arrest, which was about
dark, the prisoner proffered, through his coun
sel, to give bonds for his appearance before
the Justice on Friday. This was refused. He
then demanded an immediate trial. The pro
secution then proffered to give him a trial as
soon as the witnesses could be procured, and
obtained till noon next day for that purpose,
and had subpoenas issued and served that
night; I believe the prisoner did likewise—he
certainly had them issued.
At the time appointed for the#examination,
the prosecution being ready to proceed and
give the trial demanded on the evening previous,
were informed that the prisoner would tender
a bond of $500, without submitting to an ex
amination, to Justice Warthen, for his appear
ance at the Superior Court. We opposed this,
and urged upon the Magistrate to allow us to
go into the evidence and substantiate the
charges made in the affidavit—that we were
able to make out hn aggravated ease of an as
sault with intent to murder—we believed that
we could fasten the charge upon that man of
shooting Lawson in his own yard at the hour

This may certify thatmWpwards of two
years, I have had a disease in my chest which
was very distressing to me, attended with a
J . • _*■
severe cough, occasionally spitting of blood,
,nd sometimes almost stopping my breath in
ch a way as to make me believe that ray end
was near. After using a great many different
articles recommended to me by my neighbors,
without any benefit, I applied to a Mineral
Physician, but with the like result. Hearing
of the success that Dr. Sage had acquired in
the treatment of Chronic diseases, I concluded
to try him, and accordingly made application,
and am happy, and proud to say, that with two
prescriptions he has entirely cured me, so that
now I enjoy as good, if not better, health than
I ever did. Richard C. Edenfield.

rived since the 29th ult., 2,781 bales Upland
(2,651 per Rail-Road, 114 from Augusta and
landings on the river, and 16 via Darien,) and
93 bales Sea Island. The exports for the
same period amount to 2,600 bales Upland and
176 do. Sea Island, viz: to New-York, 1,793
bales Upland and 155 do. Sea Island; to Phil
adelphia, 394 bales IJpi md, and to Charleston
373 bales Upland and 21 do, Sea Island—
leaving on hand and on ship-board not cleared
a stock of 27,474 bales Upland and 745 do.
Sea Island, against 14,838 bales Upland and
1,398 do. Sea Island at same time last year.
We have taken as careful account of the
stock on hand, both Upland and Sea Island
as possible, and find so little variation in the
result from our tables that we do not change
the figures for the receipts. We have correc
ted some errors in the amount of exports,
which makes our amount of stock on hand
now correspond with the actual count.
Just at the close of our last report, the news
from Europe by the Niagara was received.
Under the influence of her advices the market
opened on Friday with a very active enquiry,
and sales of 2,828 hales were effected at full
prices. Prices have been getting better each
day* and our quotations bolow show that du
ring ihe week the advance has been from one-
fourth to one-half cent The best qualities
have advanced most The amount of transac
tions each day has been irregular m conse
quence of the smallness of the stock on sale.
The news by the Pacific, received on Monday
afternoon, gave additional firmness to the mar
ket, and induced some holders to offer their
stocks which had previously been withdrawn.
The sales on Saturday were 415 bales, on
Monday 576, ob Tuesday 1,408, on Wednes-

DYSPEPSIA CURED!!!
Holcomb, Burke Co., Dec. 26,1850.
This is to certify that for the last five years
I have been greatly afflicted with Dyspepsia, or
derangement of the digestive organs; every
thing I ate disagreed with me, and caused much
distress in the stomach, accompanied with sour
eructations, heartburn, tc., from which I could
get no relief, short of vomiting. Host flesh
very fast, and became so feeble that I could
not work, and life itself was no satisfaction to
me. In this condition, after having made use
of a great many different remedies without at
taining any relief, I applied to Dr. Sage, who
undertook my case, and I am proud to sav, that
from the first day I commenced to take his
medicine, I began to mend, until now, my
health seems so thoroughly restored, that my
flesh and strength have returned, and I can-now
enjoy the usual comfort of life with pleasure,
being now able to do as mucli work as I ever
conld, without experieucing any feelings of in
convenience afterwards—and all this with only
three prescriptions and medicine, at the trifling
cost of fifteen dollars. I have been induced
to make t.e above statement, from the hope
that my felloW-men may be benefitted by giv-
ing the Doctor a trial before yielding them
selves to the demon of despair.

Satisfied that there are thousands that may
be cured if they will, the undersigned can only
assure them that should they deem it their in
terest to employ him, he will do all that in him
lies, to secure to each such favorable results.
Persons desirous of testing the efficacy of
these remedies in their own cases, no matter
where they reside, may do so very conveniently
by sending a statement of the symptoms and
history of their ease, age, aic., in writing, when
medicines to suit their various cases will be
compounded and sent by Mail, Express or
private hand. In such cases the charge will be
only Five Dollars ($5 00) monthly, Remit
tances thus by mail are always at his risk.
Hitherto the postage, over 300 miles, has
been so high as to preclude many, to a great
extent, from the benefits resulting from his
treatment; that barrier has been removed, arid -
the sphere of his usefulness has thus been
widened to an almost unlimited extent, for now
a package can be sent with safety to any part
of the Republic for only six cents an ounce.
For treatment at his house, accommodations
being ample, the charge will be in proportion
to tiie trouble requisite in each case.
In accute cases the charge will be moderate
as usual. »• ;
Letters must be Post Paid, and ad

trade for a certain promisory note given
bv me and payable to Moses Brinson or Dear
