iynolds of Newton, was elected pro. tan
cumber it of its legal verboseness, which
though necessary in the statute books is
not essential in a newspaper.
Th.e preamble recognizes the existence at
this time, ot laws for the protection of pro-
I e'fiy-owners in cases of this kind, and ad
mita them to have been drawn up with
much care and precision; but it pronounces
them ineffectual, chiefly for the following
reasons, viz: after assessment of damages,
appeal there from may be entered by the
Company interested, after it has refused to
pay the assessment. Such appeal must be
entered in the clerk’s offiee of the Superior
Court of that county in which the head
quarters, or chief place of business of the
Company is located—thus frequently bring
ing on the trial at so great distance from
the party injured, as to make it impractica
ble, and often impossible for him to attend
or placing it out of his power to obtain
compensation, through want of pecuniary
means to attend. To remedy which diffi
culties it is proposed to pass a new Act:
Sec. 1st, provides: that the several R. R
Companies of this State, shall be held lia
ble under rules hereinafter prescribed, for
any damage to live stock or other property
(except for assessment of damages for right
of way) to the owner thereof, by the run
Ding of cars, locomotives, or other machin
ery upou their roads respectively ; for dam
ages to any person in the employ of such
compauy by auy other means whatsoever.”
Sectiou 2nd, provides not only that Com
panies shall be held liable, hut any and all
of their employees; that the party injured
shall notify the company thereof; the no
tice must specify the kind ot property dam
aged or-destroyed, the time and place of
occurrence ofsuek damage, and may be
served personally upon any white employee
of the said compauy, three days at least
before trial; or be left at the residence of
auy white employee of said company, five
days previous to trial, but within fifty days
after the happening of the injury; and not
after. Such notice, so served, will be held
sufficient to authorize the Court to proceed
to judgment as hereinafter provided. The
same section also provides :
“That a notice in substance and form as
follows, (subject to such alterations and ad
ditions as the circumstances of the case
may require) shall be deemed sufficient;

Section 3rd, provides: that where the
party iujured believes the damages to ex
ceed $20, he shall so state in notice served;
and may apply to the Justice of the Peace
iu the district wherein the damage was done,
whose duty it shall be to draw a jury of
five, who may be uotified either by a consta
ble or the party injured. Justice and Jury
shall be present at the Court ground at the
time specified in the original notice, to hear
the evidence, the jury being first sworn to
do ample justice, and ppon their verdict,
the Justice shall enter Judgment for dam
ages aud costs. If the damages fall short
of twenty dollars, the Justice simply shall
attend, and after hearing the evidence, en
ter judgment. If the plaintiff be unable to
procure other testimony than his own, in
proof of material facts, he may himself tes
tify after being sworn that he cannot estab
lish his case save by his own oath. Judg
ment entered in accordance with these re
quirements shall be final. The Justice shall
then issue execution for costs and damages,
which may be executed by any levying offi
cer iu the State, in any county where prop
erty of defendant may be found.
Sections 4 and 5, provide for advertising
of sale, for payment of costs, for compensa
tion to officers and jurors, for fining the lat
ter for ueglect of duty, etc.
Seci 6, provides: that auy compauy which
shall see tit to tender compensation for dam-
ages, shall be protected from further litiga
tion, if such teuder be accepted. If not,
and the party refusing fails to recover a lar
ger amount than was tendered, he shall pay

of damages assessed shall be discharged.
And where jury trial is made necessary, by
thb claiming of damages over $20, in case
the amount assessed does not exceed that
sum, the claimant shall pay the difference
in costs between jury and Justice trial, leav

'5’Sie Weather, Crops, &«*.
For the last fortnight, we have had a
“spell” of the bestseasons thatpossibly could
have"fallen upon the then condition of the
crops, especially of the cotton. The cold
and wet weather of October and the first
ten or a dozen days of the present month
had injured the cotton beyond all expecta
tion, much of it being late, and the latter
portion of the summer and the first part of
the fall being so propitious for its growth
that an abundance of new fruit was formed,
and with a late fall would have matured a
crop that would have very considerably o
verborne the calculations of the Spring and
early summer. The frost, however, with
the rains, nipped all such flatteringprospects
as these in the bud, and one ean scarcely
t imagine the gloom and disparagement which
s-eiuc-d to hang about all kinds of business ;
and to add a new feature to this discomfit*
ure, cotton went down, and the war in Eu
rope was heralded as the immediate cause
of a terrible ,‘money crisis,’ which was a-
bout to take place over the entire country
Just about this time our farmers steered
clear of all trading houses, and the general
opinion was that the cotton was lost beyond j
redemption, the weather was unusually cool
for the season, and the unopened cotton
bolls were filled with water, and the weath
er continuing cold and frosty, it must have
rotted as a matter of course. But the last
change to warm and dry weather, and its
continuance for about two w.-eks has had a
most happy effect; fields which were given
over with an abundance of unopened bolls,
have been revivified under the genial influ
ences of the season and will yield a hand
some compensation for another “picking.”
In riding through a portion of this coun
ty we have noticed, especially on new
lands, that the cotton weed is not entirely
killed, this is possibly owing to its protec
tion from contiguous wood-lands. It is cer
tain iu this sectiou that the cotton crop is
much bettered by the seasons of the past
two weeks-'-but it is a short crop notwith
standing.

U. S. Consul Returned Home.—Major
Bennett, who was appointed by President
Pierce U. S. Consul to Bahia, in Brazil, it
is said, has returned Lo the United States,
having found on investigation that the
Consulate was not so much of a prizejas it
was represented to be. The entire fees
paid to the Consul at Bahia only amount
to $700—not sufficient to pay expenses.
Major B., however, before returning, suc
ceeded in obtaining from the Brazzilizan
government a treaty, conferring upon Am
erican citizens full and free right to navi
gate the Amazon within the territories of
Brazil. As Peru has already conferred
the same right, the navigation of that mag
nificent river, from its source to its mouth,
is now open to the enterpiize of our couu-

j?®* Slave property in Missouri is said
by the St. Louis Rep, to be in a very
nsecure condition, and in the counties
where this description of property.is most
ly held, a general alarm prevails. Slaves
escape iu gangs across the Mississippi con
tinually. In Marion county a public meet
ing has been held, a society formed to pre-
vent lhe escape of Slaves^aiid a system of
patrols adopted. A complete description
ol all the Slaves held by members of the
association is required of them. Another
meeting ot the same kind has been held in
Howard county at which it was resolved to
expel all tree blacks from the country, and
lo have patrols.
Important to Absent Heirs.—It is said
that owing to the great morality at New
Orleans caused by the late epidemic, large
amounts of property have been inherited
by absent heirs who reside in different
States of the Union. By the law of Loui
siana, such pioperty is ouly bound for the
pay merit of liquidated debts, so that all*
partnerships or sabsequeut contracts are
null and void. The absence of the lawful
heirs lias opened a wide field tor frauds,
which are being daily practised.
