Senator Carpenter has a face like a corpulent fed eagle. The head declined, the subdued face, the iron gray crest give the idea of an eagle resting on his perch; but there is a light in his eye like smoldering coals, and a Napole onic touch of expression which reveals cn in tensely ambitions, strong-willed, fiery-hearted man. I see by the list tntt his term of office expires in 1875. The date might as well be moved some years farther on. That man is in the Senate and he will stay there, or his heart will be nnder the pavement not above it. He wiU not be President. He is too strong a charac- a man of just ambition in the latter position has no need to sigh for the other. MB WILSON. Tbo benign face of Senator Wilson looks mild as that of a Catholic priest among snch hot- hearted Senators as Carpenter and scathing Trumbull. People know his kindness and he is besieged accordingly by all the women in want of a helping hand, who have a clean record to show. His steps about the capital are haunted by a string of forlorn creatures in limp veils and rusty dresses. Senator Wilson and Repre sentative Ames are a sort of benevolent firm in Congress, to such as really have a claim for help BEVELS. Senator Revels, in glossy black suit, with his cylender-sbaped head, and dust brown complex ion, studies the Constitution diligently, as if it were his prayer-book. He seems modest, and deeply impressed with the dignity of his sur roundings. THE LOIJIS1NA TRAGEDY. Killing: of the Joncsra, anil the End of a Twenty Years Fend. We published, some time since, an account of the killing of Gen. St. John Liddell, of Cata- honla parish, Louisiana, while eating his dinner on board a Mississippi river steamboat, by CoL Chas. Jones and sons, of the same parish. A telegraphic item a few days afterwards informed the public that the Joneses, father and eldest son, had been taken from the custody of the sheriff and shot to death by an armed band of twenty or more, supposed to be the friends and old ar my comrades of Gen. Liddell. The New Orleans Picayune, of Tuesday, gives the following particulars of the tragedy. THE BLACK BIVEB TRAGEDY. The rumor is current now that young Jones, who escaped from the house the night his father and brothers were killed at Harrisonburg, made his way down to New Orleans, and is at present in onr city. At the time the attack was made npon the honse, and when it was discovered that it was useless to make any defense, he left his father and brother and wont np into the second story. From thence he passed out of one of the windows, and by clinging to the pro jecting brick3 of the chimney, managed to con ceal himself in its shadow until after the search was over and the attacking party had left As soon as he conld get down with safety, he procured a pirogue and paddled along down the river. He was finally, it is said, taken on board of a steamboat, and it being suspected that some of the attacking party were on board, he was concealed by the officers in the hold of the boat until she reached this city. Col. Jcnes and his sons, it appears, were ex pecting an attack, bat did not expect it to come oefore the examination took place. When the attacking party announced them selves from without, Col. Jones seemed to take in the situation in a moment, and remarked: “There they are.” Besides the ladies in the honse, there were present Elijah B. Cotton and Sheriff Ballord.* Before the door was broken in, the younger Joneses, it is said, proposed to their father to make fight, bnt ho replied that it was useless. As soon as the door gave way, the parties attacking ordered all the females and innocent parties ont of the house, and Col. Jones, throwing a sheet or counterpane around him, passed ont with the rest, and had reached the front gate before he was discovered and shot down. The elder of the two sons passed out at the back door, and had reached an opening in the picket fence in the rear, through which ho was passing, when he was discovered and shot down. Mr. Cotton, it is said, expected that, as the excitement was so gTeat, he might be shot also; bat as fjoon as it was .discovered who he was, he was assured that no harm would come to him. The panic in Catahoula is so great that the people are nnwillmg to express an opinion pro or eon in the matter of the killing. Trontdale, K. J.. The Newark Advertiser, speaking of Dr. Slack’s trout ponds at Trontdale, N. J., eays: Trout raising here has been entirely success ful, and very profitable. A spring supplies the water for the ponds, whioh are three in number, two hundred and fifty feet long, by fifteen wide, and so arranged that the water may be drawn from the first and second or more elevated, into the third. The ponds have hard graveHy bot toms, and are kept free from weeds. When the spawning season arrives the female trout are caught and the spawn squeezed from them into a pan, with a depression in the bottom. The divested mother is then thrown back into the water to prodace another supply of spawn for the next season. The eggs arc then placed in hatching boxes, which are shallow pans, throngh which water constantly runs. In about forty days they hatch. Soon after they are re moved to troughs, in a building where they re main for about five months, their diet being a pulp strained from fresh beef, chopped fine, and deposited upon the water with a syringe. At the end of five months each one of these in fants begins to think hinself quite a fish, and is transferred to the first pond, and remains there till one year old, when ho takes the sec ond degree and is removed to another lodge. At two years he becomes a 20-incher. and goes to_the_ angling pond, where he gaily whisks his tail with a “sho9 fly, don’t bodder mo” air, till the fly comes along, and then ho is “bodderd” with a line, and hauled np at the rate of one dollar per pound by New York epicures, for whom Trontdale is a favorite resort. Dr. Slack is no novice in this business. Ho is thoroughly versed in the piscatorial science, and is practical in aU his operations. He has acquired a vast fund of scientific knowledge, and bolds a diploma from one of the highest colleges in France, as well as others from dif ferent medical and literary institutions in America. e Visitors to Trontdale are treated with gen erous hospitality, and instructed in all the arts and mysteries of trout raising ; but two large blood hounds, one an imported Russian, keep nocturnal prowlers at a respectful distance.— These ponds have been in operation about three years, arid their profits next year will not fall much short of 825,000. The Cbarcb and State Move. There has been of late a convention in ses sion at Pittsburg, engaged in drawing up an in dictment of infidelity against the American people, specifying that said people have no re cognition of God in their fundamental law. One of th<3 articles of this indictment, or, to put it as a the convention put it, one of the reso lutions adopted, refers to the necessity of af fording “the fuUest security against a corrupt and corrupting church establishment;" by which, we take it, the convention means to al lude to that Catholic faith professed by so large and respectable a body of our fellow-citizens. Now, we mean to compare divers of the resolu tions adopted by this convention with certain of the canons in the schema lately put forth in con nection with the Ecumenical Council, and desire the careful attention of the reader to the ex hibit thus made: BOME. Canon XVIII. -Who soever says that the power necessary for the government of a civil PITTSBUEG, Resolved, That civil government is ground ed, like the family, in the principles of the na- state does not emanate tore of man as a social from God, or that ono^creatore; and that ithas is not bound by Divino'itspowersandfunotions law to submit himself j thus determined by the to such power, or that Creator, and is, there- such powor is repug-'fore, like the family, an nant to tho natural lib-'ordinance of God. erty of men, let him be Resolved, That na- anathema. tions, as sovereignties, Cason X. -Whosoever!wielding moral as well says that tho church is'as physical power, and not a perfect institution having moral as weU as bnt merely a corpora- material effects, are tion, or that it is of such morally accountable to a nature, with regard to God. civilsocietyorthestate,!

Words or Soberness, Moore’s Rural New Yorker repents of its artio'.e of January 15th, headed “Shall \fe Go Sonth r and in a recent number indulges in the foUowing sound and sensible remarks : Nor do we forget that the Southern people, ; a whole, are doing nobly, industrially, de spite the disadvantages under which they labor. We do not forget that tho war left them “with out capital, without efficient labor, and without banking facilities." Wo do not forget what the wreck of war is, nor how disheartening must have been the look-ont for the people of the South when the war endod. We know, and have not asserted to the contrary, that there are very many men in the South who are ac tively and successfully engaged in its industrial redemption. * Thero are many noble young men who are entering into this work of regeneration with great vigor, and with a right discernment of the needs of the country. YuUDg Echols, editor of the Rural Southerner, at Atlanta, is a worthy example of what the yonDg men of the Sonth may do, and of what many of them, we hope, are domg. And such young men as Echols shonld be honored and enconraged. As wo said in our former article, the young men of the North, with practical knowledge and skill, and a will to work and identify themselves with the industrial development of the South, cannot find, in onr opinion, a more inviting field with in the Republic. Bnt such men should go there to work—not to speculate; not to enter the po litical nor tho professional field. Tbe Sonth has too many politicians and pro fessional men now. She needs workers—men who will co-operate with tho best men of the Sonth to develope her resources, build up man ufactories, regenerate her soils by skillful cul ture, and nltilize her natnral wealth. Wo have no word to say to disconrago men with such motives from migrating to the South. And that snch men may succeed notably there, wo have evidence enough. The True brothers, from Western New York, are examples of what the young men of the North may do there.— They are the sort of “carpet-baggers” tho Sonth needs, and the class her best and wisest men will welcome. c Way.

On Friday they had a quairel over the matter, in which her father whipped hen and finally turned her out of doors, and told her if she married the man in question he would kill her and her husband. On Saturday afternoon, the engineer of the train going north, discovered her a short distance ahead of the train, and in the act of throwing her bonnet, shawl and muff into the ditch. She then deliberately laid down aside the rails with her head on one of them, and beckoned to the engineer to come on. He was unable to stop the engine, and the train passed over her, literally grinding her to pieces. The only way by which she was identified was by her bonnet and shawl. Onr correspondent adds that.she was a nice little girl, who had worked in his family, and left some two.months ago, with the intention of being married in Janu ary.—Peoria Transcript, March 4. Back Again.—The Knoxville Press and Her* aid of yesterday, says: Andy Williams, a colored boy, was brought from Chattanooga yesterday, and placed in the oonnty jail, to await the next session of the Supreme Court, whioh meets in September. The prisoner been under arrest during the past two yean, and convicted twice, for the murder of Bodolph Deutcb, committed about four miles from Chattanooga, nearly three years ago. .4 negro named Israel Myers, of Baltimore, hai been appointed a special agent of the Post- offioe Department at large, at $1,200 per annum and $3 per diem. The worthy gentlemen who met at Pittsburg, lud drew up, among other resolutions, those jbove set forth, would doubtless consider it a rery grievons thing were any to charge them vith seeking a nnion gf church and state ; and yet, see bow closely the utterances of these gen tlemen, who express an abhorrence of that doc trine agree with the declarations of those other gentlemen ot Rome who do really believe in chnrch and state, and arc, therefore consistent, at least, in their opinions as above given. So remarkable a similarity, much as it may grieve onr Pittsburg friends, does mean church and state; and that meaning is intensified by the fact that prominent in that convention were such well-known politicians as J. AV. McClurg, Gov ernor of Missouri; General O. O. Howard, of tbe Bureau; and Bishop Simpson, of tho Meth odist Chnrch. We beg these gentlemen, and those others with whom they are associated in this matter, to have a care as to what they do. This country has already griefs enough, with out bringing in as a fresh disfraction the blood stained old dogma of a nnion of chnrch and state. BY TELEGRAPH. FROM WASHINGTON. Special to the Telegraph and Messenger. \ Washington, March 11.—Senator Revels (negro) produced a memorial to-day, purporting to be re ceived by telegraph from Georgia, protesting against the passage of the Bingham amendment, ou the ground that it will deliver the colored people, bound hand and foot, into the hands of their most relent less enemies. They bold that it is necessary that the State Leg islature should be reconstructed so as to secure the passage of a law for tho protection of tbe 5)0,000 colored people of tho State of Georgia. They want the election laws amended so that colored voters can go to the polls without tho risk of vio lence and bloodshed, and without giving the State to tbe extreme Democratic patty. The Georgia bill ia the order of the day for Monday. Opinions differ widely concerning the fato of Bingham's amendment. Dalton. FROM WASHINGTON. WAsnisaTON, March 11 Tho Supreme Court, on motion of Phillips, who advised the Court, directed that Yerger should be turned over to the civil au thorities and the habeas corpus in his case dis missed. The President has pardoned two negroes, Addison and Sorer, sentenced by military commission at Manchester, Ya., to imprisonment for life for murder. Georgia’s negro legislators have protested by tele graph, through Bevels, against Bingham’s Amend ment. Revenue to-day, $345,000. A delegation from national banks is hero, lobby ing against the funding hill. Washington, March 12.—Troops will he sent to Tennessee to aid in the enforcement of the laws The Democrats of tho Senate aro in accord with neither the Bullock or Bryant party,- and their action on the Bingham’s amendment is somewhat doubt ful, unless Georgia Democrats, who they say have kept aloof, take some action. Tho fate of the amendment is doubtful unless tho Democratic Sen ators vote for tho hill as it camo from the House. It will be remembered that the Democrats of the House voted for the amendment, but they, en masse, voted against the Georgia bill as amended, and the Democrats of the Senate seem inclined to vote the same way unless supported by some positive demon stration from the Georgia Democrats. Dispatches from Admiral Poor mention his ar rival, in the flag-ship Severn, at Port-au-Prince, on February 0th. Ho had an interview with the pro visional President and Cabinet of Hayti, and ex plained that pending the present negotiations be- the United States and St. Domingo, this govern ment would protect tho Dominicans against any hostile power. Tho Haytien authorities hopedjthat tho friendly relations between the United States and Hayti would not be interrupted, and wliilo aware of their weakness, they knew their rights and would protect them to the best of their ability, and that they must bo allowed to choose their own policy. Poor heard unofficially that the authorities were displeased with what they donsidered the me nacing attitude of the United States. Rumors, which proved unfounded, of a collision between the United States and a Haytien war vessel, had been in circulation. The United States Dictator is also at Port-au-Piince. Revenue receipts to-day, $368,000. The Secretary of the Treasury has allowed to be protested somo of tho unendorsed Texas indemnity bonds, holding that according to tho principle de cided in the case of Texas vs. White and Childs, they are not negotiable and will bo paid only to Texas.

Havana, March'll.—Two schooners, with their decks crowded with blue clothed men, escaped a Spanish steamer by reaching shallow water on the coast. Captured correspondence shows that several In surgent Generals are forming dnbe adverse to a proposition for annexation to the United States. LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE. New Orleans, March 11.—The Educational bill has finally passed. The Honao has passed a bill giving the Louisiana Snlphnr Mining Company $300,000 in State bonds. Havana, March 11.—The cholera has entirely dis appeared from Santa Spiritua. Masons are still in imprisonment. Mayor’s Court.—The Mayor was still without a case yesterday and consequently there was nothing done in this Court. We don’t know whether the decline in gold and cotton is unnecessarily affecting the morals of this community or not; but we do know that when the Mayor has nothing to do in his Court, it bears very heavily on “ ye reporter,” for when he fails to get an item there in the morning he is crest-fallen the rest of the day, and the hope of furnishing something interesting and readable for the next paper deserts him, and, Micawher like, ho can only wait for something to turn up. Heavy Bains.—Between midnight and day yes terday morning several heavy rains fell in this sec tion, when it held np again nntil about ten o’clock a. 31., and thon it came down for a while in perfect torrents, and tapered off into a steady, all day’s rain. At twelve o’clock yesterday the river at tins point had risen ahont twelve feet, and was still rising at the rate of two feet per hour. It will he booming high this morning. Wet Cotton.—A planter drove up to a warehouse in this city yesterday and threw out two bales of cotton for storage and sale. The cotton was very wet, and after weighing it the salesman made a fair redaction on tho weight, as is always tbs case when wet cotton is offered for storage. This the owner refused to allow, and the salesman reminded him that it was customary, and that ho was nnder oath to weigh cotton fairly, and if he was to receive cot ton in snch condition as that was without making some reduction for the water that was in it, he would violate his oath, and that he conld not receive it otherwise. At this tho owner got angiy, and re placing the cotton on his wagon, drove off to an other warehouse, where tho salesman re fused to receive it on the same grounds the first one had. Still insisting that no reduction should be made for water in his cotton, tho planter drove off to a third warehouse; hut wo did not follow him np to see how the matter tamed cut. Just here wo would state that all our salesmen are under oath to fairly weigh cotton, and standing, as they do, between tho buyer and producer, they can, possibly, have no interest or motive in defraud ing either. Besides, we know ail onr salesmen to he gentlemen of character, honor and integrity, and do not believe either of them conld be induced to falsely weigh a hag of cotton for anybody, or nnder any circumstances. So the conduct of the planter in question was a little atrango, to say tho least of it. CONGRESSIONAL . Washington, March 11 Senate—The Senate considered the San Domingo treaty Gen. Babcock and Commodore Porter addressed tho Committee in explanation and snpport of tho treaty. No action. Tbe Senate is on Indian bills. The protest of tho Georgia colored legislators says they represent 90,000 colored voters in Georgia,who by the passage of this amendment will be delivered over, bonnd hand and foot, to their most hitter ene mies ; that the colored voters will bo driven away from the polls. On motion of Trumbull, Georgia was made special order for to-morrow. A motion for tbe Joint Committeo on Indiian Af fairs was defeated by Colfax’s voto. • The Funding ill was resumed. The Senate passed tho Funding bill; 36 to 10. Tho Senate adjourned to Monday, when the Georgia bill will bo the special order. House.—The House is on patents. The morning session was consumed with private hills. After a struggle between the friends of tho Deficiency and Tariff bills, the Tariff prevailed.— The Honso went into committee of tho whole on the Tariff bill after ono hour’s speech. Tho Deficiency bill was taken up. It aggregates $2,600,000, including for repairs of custom houses: Savannah, $15,000; Mobile, $15,000; Richmond, $25,000. No action. The Honso meets to-morrow for debato. Washington, March 12.—House—The House proceedings were uninteresting. Thero was a mea gre attendance of members. Fbuit Pbospects.—Wo heard a gentleman state yesterday, who has a . fine peach orchard, that he still had hopes of a good crop of peaches this year, though the late cold snap would probably make the crop a little later than usual. He also expressed tho opinion that tho general fruit crop in this sec tion was as yet uninjured. One cold spell has fol lowed another so closely, that the tender twigs on which tho fruit is germinated have not had time to reach that point of maturity when a frost or cold snap is very dangerouB to them. Wo can all hut sincerely bopo that such is tbe fact, for the fruit trade of this section is an im portant item during the early part of Bummer, and brings to our people a large supply of pocket change, which they would really miss in case of a failure of the fruit crop. Two or three of our gro cery merchants box and ship North annually thous ands of bushels of early peaches, apples, Ac., which sell at good prices in Northern markets, and yield a handsome income to fruit growers. But aside from the pecuniary value of the fruit crop, our people could scarcely get along without the lux ury through tho summer. Savnnnali. We are glad to see that the people of Ala bama are turning their attention to our South ern Atlantic cities in the way of trade. The enterprise of Savannah in stretching out her railroads to the Alabama Iliver has already exhibited the fruits which follow commercial spirit and activity. Her prospects are better to-day than ever before. Only last week a lot of ground upon what two years ago was a common of little appreciable value, was sold for over $4,000, a price equal to that of the best lot in the heart of business in our own city. This is an indication of what Savannah is, and of what she will yet become. This in crease in the value of property has been brought about by the mercantile spirit which has established lines of steamers to Northern and European ports, which has wiped out rickety Toads ana pushed forward the Georgia Central over all opposition; which has at tracted a large portion of the cotton from the great cotton Delt, and which has, in fine, made Savannah the entrepot and the depot for the entire belt of splendid prairie land which stretches westward to the Alabama River.— Her enterprise does not pause at the Alabama. Already she aids in the completion of the link to Selma, and thus draws to herself the royal staple from oven the very doors of New Or leans. From what she has been able to do with the terminus of her roads on the Alabama River, we may judge of what she will do when her control over the railroads westward extends to Vicksburg. Since September 1st she has re ceived 390,816 bales of cotton. Will we be far wrong in saying that her receipts will he doubled when she touches the Mississippi? When doubled, her receipts will be but little behind those of New Orleans. Indeed, they will be nothing behind those of New Orleans since she draws supplies away from that city. Savannah, thus becoming to the interior through the enterprise of her citizens, what New Orleans was before the war, what reason can exist why she should not furnish our mer chants with eyeiy variety of imported and home manufactured articles? She looks out upon the Atlantic; she has direct steam navi gation with Europe; she ships cotton to Liv erpool, Havre ana Cadiz; she ships lumber to every important port of the world: she sends tne grain of the up country to South America; she has enterprising merchants, and men of large wealth devoted to her pros perity ; she has men not only of large wealth, bnt what is better, of enlarged views. These men, with the advantages possessed by their city, are determined to make her the Atlantic metropolis of the South. They are now ask ing the merchants of the interior to buy their goods at Savannah, and they promise to sell as cheaply as New York. We hope that the in vitation will be responded to. Every South- era man should be proud of Savannah, and should do all in his power to build np a South em metropolis on the Atlantic coast.—Mont gomery Mail. GENERAL NEWS.

Not too rapidly for the sufferer, however, for whom death had no terrors. From the earliest period of her confine ment, her Christian faith rose sublimely over the physical evils of her condition, and she “longed to depart, and be with Christ” Though she had sus tained her connection with the College only a few months, yet she had ingratiated herself into the af fections of all tbe pupils and inmates with whom she was brought Into contact In her, religion took its loveliest form; and all laments for the sore low of- the surviving relatives are Intermingled with gratitude for the privilege of daily intercourse, for a time, with such a sweet Christian spirit Her re mains are to be interred in the family burying-plaoa , in Greensboro. j.
