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 1/.. - : ~ rr., . iur. lYcuawriu a uiiuuniy oi liy. IU1S 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, April 20 th. 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. Col. Washington Poe, Macon. Dr. Henry Hull, Athens. Mr, Nahun Wood, “ Mr. John Crawford, “ Mr. Stephens Thomas, Athens. Rev. Mr. Smith, Athena. Mr. B. Overby, Jefferson. Rev. Alfred T. Mann, Athens. Rev. Washington Baird, Milledgevilie. Rev. S. G. Hillyer, Penfield. 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. S. B.

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 BAGGING, Dundee, 44 in yd J5 a 16 Kentucky, yd 7i a 71 Gunny, yn 13 a m BALE ROPE, lb 8 a 9 BACON, Hams, lb 10 a m Shoulders, lb 10 a :oi Sides,- lb 12 a 124 BUTTER, Goshen, prime, lb 28 a 31 CANDLES, Spermaceti lb 44 a 48 Tallow, lb 7 a 8 CHEESE, Northern, lb 8£ a 10 COFFEE, Cuba, lb a Rio, lb 9 a 104 Java, lb 13 a 14 FISH, Mackerel, No I, bbl 11 a Hi “ No 2, bbl 7 a 94 “ No 3, bbl 5£ a 64 FLOUR, Canal, bbl 5 a 7 50 “ Country, bbl a GRAIN, Corn, cargo, bush 70 a 75 “ retail, bush 75 a 80 HIDES, Dry, lb 8 a LARD, lb 104 a 12 MOLASSES, Cuba, gal 18 a 19 N.

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. William Stevens. 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 dressed to him at Spiers’ Turn-Out, Jefferson county, Ga.
