The veto message was dis cussed this morning, the interchange of views to-day being confined to various suggestions, relative to the policy that should be adopted with reference to the legislative blit Nothing definite is yet foreahadowod, bnt an impression prevails that the political clauses of that bill, as well os a number of its ordinary Items of appropriation, may very possibly be amended by tbe Senate with a viow to ob viating borne of tho criticisms which have been made upon it m its present ehape, though without affecting its main par- poses. London, April 30.—In the Commons to-night Sir iiobjrt Peel, liberal Con servative member for Tamwortb, will ask tbs government whether, iucsmuca as some years ago in the interests of hu manity, Mr. Gladstone, owing to an ap peal made to tbe government, took steps to mitigate the eafferings endured in con sequence of State persecutions injNeapol- itan prisons, Her Majesty’s government will take any steps in the interests of hu manity to mitigate ibe horrors and atroo- (ties amid wbiob tbe reign of terror is now being carried on in Rassia, over eighty millions of people.

Pitt.-bubo, Pa. , April 30.—A bold but unsuccessful attempt wa3 made to-day to rob the Workingmens’ Savings Bank, on Ohio street, Alleghany. Tne book, keeper of the bank had gone to dinner, leaving the cashier, George L Walter, alone. Two mes entered the bank, and one of them advancing to the rear coun ter asked silver for a dollar bill. When the cashier advanced with the change in his band, he was confronted with a cocked revolver and told to make no noise or be would be shot. Dropping tho silver Walter seized the revolver and succeed iu wrenching it from his as sailant, who then clambered up and got inside and was reaching for tbe money on the counter when Walter opened fire on him, firing two shots at him, and also two at the other robber, who in the meantime had climbed over the front counter and was advanoiog to the rear of the room. Tbe strangers, dismayed by their warlike reception, then fled, and have not yet been arrested. The bank sustained no loss. Washiroton, April 30.—The Demo cratic caucus was held immediately after the adjournment of the Honse to day for the purpose of determining what ac tion the majority should pursue on the veto on tbe Army Appropriation bill. Speech making was generally indulged in, one of the principal speeches being made by Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, who held that since the President has inter posed his veto on the Army Appropria tion bill. Congress should make no war or factions opposition to the clearly de fined constitutional power on his part. Supplies should not he withheld from the army because of the President’s failure to sanction the measure as it passed Congress. The appropriation bills, he thought, onght to be passed, if need be, by themselves severally, and the political questions now embraced in tho appropri ation measures be taken up and proper measures oovering them be passed in sep arate and distinct bills. If the President then should seo fit to interpose his veto, the question, as far as the army is con cerned, will he put fairly before the country for the people to decide. He advocated the passage of measures wbich would relieve the overtaxed masses of tho people and revive the prostrated indus tries of tbe country. It was finally agreed that the army bill ahonld again pass, notwithstanding the objections of the President, and that a vote be taken on the measure to-mor row without debate. But it is intimated that the sixth section, the point at issne, will bs introduced modified somewhat from its present shapo and passed as an independent measure.

Atlanta, Ga., April 30.—In the Cox case to-day the remainder of the jnry was obtained from the country panels, it is considered favorable to the proBesn- tion. State Treasurer Bsnfros was pat on the stand and subjected to a rigid examination, oocsnmtng the balance of the day. Ha testified that Alston was in tho Treasury when the witness returned frem dinner in company with the clerk Mnrphy, and C. B. Howard, tbe purchaser of the Gordon intereet in the convict leaec. They left soon after and Alston departed immediately following, after saying to the messenger sent to him from Cox to go and tell Cox that he (a*- ston) had reconsidered the m-tttir and wonld not meet him; to tell C.x to go his way and he (Alston) wonld go his; that it wonld do neither any good to kill the other. Alston was gone eight or ten minntes; in the meantime Cox came hur riedly in with his hand on his pistol half- cocked in his pocket; he discovered that Alston was not there and went away; Al ston passed on to the street and came back almost immediately after Cox left; witness asked Alston to take a seat; Alston did so and said: “This is awful to have a man hunting yon like this.” Witness asked Alston, “Didn’t yon just meet Cox?” Alston replied, "No, he has gone np stairs hunting me now.” Peter, the colored porter, said: ‘There he comes down the Blairs now.” Alston told Peter to olose the vestibule door. Cox shoved past Peter and entered, excited still, with bis hand on Ms pistol. Alston rose with uplifted hands, and went to meet Oox at the door, saying: "Cox, let ns atop this. I do not want to kill yon, nor do I want yon to kill me. It Is no nse." Cox insisted that Alston had not met him as promised. Witness told them not to have any difficulty there. As they paid no attention he ordered them ont. Cox took Alston by the arm and said: "Come outside and settle it.” Als ton palled baokand went and sat down in a chair. Cox oloeed the inner door, keep ing his right hand on his pistol and watching Alston over his ahonlder. Wit ness insisted on their not having a diffi culty. Oox apologized for dosing tbe door, and said: ‘Tala matter haagot to be settled here and now.” Nelms, the prin cipal keeper of the penitentiary, here entered, and witness appealed to him to prevent a difficulty. Alston said to Cox: I will not have any difficulty with you unless I am forced to.” Cox said, "Then I will force yon.” Some demonstration was made by Cox; witness heard Alston say twice, "Cox, are you going to shoot? Cox are yon going to shoot me now ? ’ He did not hear Cox’s reply. Alston rose from his chair, and with his head hung down, crossed the floor. Cox crossed a little behind on a parallel line. Alston enddenly wheeled and drawing his revolver presented it. Cox had his in his hand re ady. They fired at the same moment. Al ston tired a self • cocker twice, rapidly. Oc three shots neither took effect. Alston fired again, stepping to the right at eaoh fire, Cox dodging and stepping to his right, trying to use bis pistol. Alston’s fourth shot bit Cox in the mouth. At his sixth effort the pistol snapped, when Cox rose, took a long step forward, placed his pistol to Alston’s temple and fired. Alston reeled and fell. Cox laid down the pistol, re marking : "We are both dead men.” Al ston was calm and conciliatory. Oox was more exoited and determined in man ner. Alston did not show that be had a pistol until he drew and fired. Witness, just before the firing, thought the fight was about abandoned. The pistol Alston had belonged to witness and clerk Morphy Mnrphy and Howard were interested m the convict leases. Defendant's counsel were severe in their cross examination, developing also that a part oi rue line o. defense would be to eat blub a conspiracy to kill Cox. They would prove toot M irphy far* Diebed Alston with toe pistol, and Murphy and Howard, daring the fight, were concealed in the dark room of the Treasurer’s office, coming ont immediately after, and Mnrphy securing the piBtol used by Alston, and that How ard asked at once that nothing be said about their being m the room. The the ory of the defense is that Cox was hunt ing Mnrphy on tho lease busmess. and not Alston ; that Alston draw a pistol and fired without demo->,:ra:;oc from C;x lo warrant the at a and teat C x was fortunate in eaviog bis ova life by tak ing Alston’s in edf-defense. Tbe pris oner exhibits deep anxiety. Important and unexpected testimony is looked for to-morrow. Tho court refuses to allow the publication of the official testimony.

Cor with aB win— Chronicle and Con stitutionalist : Yeiterdayjaltarnoon, about half-past three o’olock, a bloody affair oc curred at Mr. H. Wood’s bar-room, on the northeast corner of Greene and Jack son streets. Two yonng men, William Call and Charles Pritchard, went into the saloon and called fer drinks, which were given to them by Mr. Woods. It is said that after taking the drinks they started to walk out without paying for them. Mr. Woods followed them and demanded his money. WordB then ensued between Call and himself, in tbe oonrse of which Call drew a r. z >r a nd ont Woods aoroes the stomaob, exposing his intestines. Mrs. Woods z ns bed In at this juncture, and catching hold of the raaor by the handle, jerked it from Call’s hand. In doing this tho hand was severely cut.

Oorquirr’a Talk to the Sun day School Childben op Coluxbub. — Enquirer-Sun: Cu Sunday morning Gov. Colquitt visited St. Luke Sunday school and gave the soholars a little talk. He was introduced by Bev. J. O. A. Cook, the pastor. Gov. Colquitt said in sab stanoe as foliowb : "I was a scholar ia this school some forty or forty-fire years ago, sot in this ohnrob, bnt In the old one which stood nearly on this very spat. I remember my mother bringing me here when I was so little that my fee would not extend more than half way to the floor. I remember how weary I grew when some Iong-faoed, eanotimonions in dividual was invited to addrees tbe chil dren. I think it wrong for teaohero preaohers and families to olothe religion in the garb of a funeral pall. Wben I was a littlo fellow tbe very eight of one or thos8loDg-faoed Methodist paraocs, with shad-bellied coat, frightened me near ly to death. If anybody onght to be fall of oheerfuIneBs and sunshine, it is u Christian. There is too muoU restraint upon children both in the church and ai home. They onght to cDjoy tho free dom and ertlessness of childhood. Whei. John runs into the dining room with one cf his gallows down, the mother yells ont "Why, John, where’s yonr manners? Get ont of here, and fix yourself decent ly,” and if Mary oomes hopping in with her hair nnoombod, "Yon, Mary, yon nas ty thing, go and wash yonr face and oamt your head; how dare you eat breakfast in snob a fix ” And in the parlor, whet Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones pay a visit to the family, the restraint is equal ly burdensome. When the boy comes In the mother j says: "John, speak to tbo todies.” John doss not know whether to rash forward, stanr! still or sit down, for fear of a materia) rasping when the ladies leave. I love children, and though I do not like to make speeches, I never lose an opnortunity to say something to the little oner. Though I cherish the sweet memories of this church and Echoo), I am impressed with the great changes which a few years ef fect. In this, tbe home of my boyhood, 1 feel almost among strangers. Here and there I meet an old landmark. A. the entertainment by the children Friday night, which I much en joyed, among forty or fifty names the programme, I recognized but two or three familiar ones. With all of my love of children, at this age, I have naTdestie to go back and repeat life merely for the pleasure of childhood. I would be a boy again for only a mo ment, just to kneel at my motaei’s knee and feel her hand upon my head. Th- pressure of a mother’s hand is light a? that of a father is heavy. If 1 ccuia un the veil which hides us from the unseen, I think I shonld see many more deai ones who have passed over the river than I have left on the earth And though I have no desire to leave my wire and ohildren, I would, if the opportunity of fered, with this glowing panorama be fore me, eay "come wife, come Hattie and Mary and Walter, let ns hand in hand go and join onr loved ones who are not lost bat gone before.” Mzxobial Dat in Milledgevillo was celebrated with much spirit. The Union and .Recorder publishes in fall the really eloquent oration of Captain C. P. Craw ford, which is replete with beautiful pas sages. The Recorder eayi: After mnsic by the choir, the henedic- tico and mnsio by the band, tho Blues proceeded to the grave of their late com mander, Captain B B. Herty, and fired the nsnal salute. The same respect wbb paid to the gravj of General Doles, and the Confederate soldiers’ monument. Then the immenee crowd disperted, go ing in different directions, but with a sin* gle purpose t> cov r the graves of their loved and lost with wreaths of roses and the choicest flowers and evergreens. If the dead soldiers could bava burst the cerementB of tho tomb and for a moment gazed upon that eloquent scene, they wonld have known they did not dio in vain. The tame paper eajf: Mr. Samuel Evans, of this city, appear ed before the United States Court at Sa vannah last week, and stood his trial on the chargee of retailing liquor without license and buying orandy upon which tbe revenue tax had not been paid.

The Augusta Sentinel has suspended. Its proprietors do not believe that it can be made profitable daring the dull sum mer month*. Should the condition of easiness warrant, its publication will be resumed. Public High Schools — Shall They be continued ? This question is now extensively agi tated in several States, and the lower Honse of the Hlinoie Legislature has passed a bill enabling the townships of that State to abolish their high sohools. The matter is under discussion in New York and New Jersey aleo. The preva- ent idea is that a plain English educa tion is all that the people require, and more than this shotud be paid for by the parties themselves. Bnt so did not think President Thornwell, of South Carolina College, who possessed one of the grand' eat intellects America ever produced, and was, himself, a profound scholar and skilled educator. His equally distin guished biographer, Ber. Dr. B. M. Pal mer says of Mm, "he was a zealous advo cate of common school education among the masses; bnt firmly held to the opin ion that knowledge, after all, is diffused by its own law of descent from above, be low—percolating through Booiety from tbe sariaos to the lowest bed beneath. Hencs he labored to promote the Mghest education among the few, as the surest way to quicken and enlighten the less favored masses." Bnt hear tbe learned President himself, in a letter to Governor Manning in 1852, "Every eduoated min is a oentra of ligbt; and hia example and Inflnenoe cer ate the consciousness of ignorsnoe and cue sense of need, from wbieh elementa ry sohools have sprang. Defective cul ture ir never nonsoious of itself, until it is brought in oontaot with superior power. There may be a oonvictien of ignorsnoe, in reference to speoial things and a desire for knowledge ae the means of accom plishing partionlar ends; bnt the need of luteileotaal improvement, on its own ao- aount, never is awakened spontaneously. * * • Hence, it Is knowledge whiob creates the demand for knowledge, whioh causes Ignorance to be felt as an evil; <*nd henoe ills the eduoatlon, In the first instance of the few, whioh has awakened the strong desire for the illumination of tbe many. Let knowledge, however, be came stagnant; let no provision be made i'or the oonsiant activity of the highest order ot minds, in the highest spheres of speculation; and the torpor wonld be -•ommnnicated downwards until the whole ocmmnnity was benumbed.” Thus spake the great Thornwell, and he was right in the abstract, though many sagacious men differ from him and think that knowledge mounts upward and docs not percolate downward. The new Constitution of Georgia makes provision by law for common sohools only, bnt Tery wisely does not interfere with tbe existing high schools created by onr several municipal corporations. It also extends the privilege to counties "upon the recommendation of the grand juriep, and to municipal corporations upon the recommendation of the corporate luthority to establish "and maintain high schools by ‘local taxation.’” Tcete schools are tho nurseries from wbiob emanate hundreds of exoelient teachers of the common schools, and also aot as valuable feeders to tho colleges sad Universities ot the country. They -xsreise a moat refining and beneficial in- flaenoe upon the oommnnity, affording opportunity to many who aspire higher than the possession of a mere ru dimentary education, and aro yet without means to pnrsne their studies, to climb up higher on the ladder of soienoe and qnaliry themselves for usefulness in soci ety. Every ' tnligh ened community, therefore, should cherish these icatitn- tious and provide liberally for their enp- pert. The high schools of Savannah, Augus ts, Atlanta and Macon are justly the pride uf tho— -itionaniS ornaments to the State, Who can estimate their importance to the commonwealth ? Andrew Female College. This excellent Institution, under the fostering care cf the indomitable Presi dent, Bev. A. L. Hamilton, D.D., is rap- dly regaining all of its former popularity and prestige. It will* be remembered that less than two years since the Doctor consented, in obedience to the united voice of the community, to return to the posi tion he had once held so successfully, and resumed the control of tbe College. He fonnd it almost in ruins, the exercises suspended, the young ladies soattered in all directions, and tbe outlook gloomy in deed. Rut with characteristic energy he went to work, raised by subscription a large sum of money, re-covered the building, laid new floors in the base- ment, painted, retouched and made the wbela establishment more inviting and beautiful than ever. The chapel, loo, was repaired, the grounds tastefully planted and adorned, tbe fences putin order, and ia short tbe entire premises were placed in complete condition. Next he addressed himself to reoruit- lug bis ecbool.and with such success that about one hundred students, many ot them from abroad, now answer at roll call, and seventeen yonng ladies will re ceive their diplomas next month, against only three at' the last commencement. All this is due to the tact, industry and gcod management of President Hamil ton Tbe Commencement exorcises this year will be preceded by the pnblio examina tions wMch begin on the 12th of Jane and continue throngb five days. The Commencement sermon will be preached by Bev. A. J. Battle, D.D., and General Aiphens Baker has consented to deliver tbe literary annual address. Tho celebrations of the Litcraiy So cieties and theAlumnoin Association will aleo come off that week, and a great crowd is expected to be present. It giveB ns real pleasure thus to chronicle the rapid rise and progress once more of old Andrew, whieh is tbo alma mater of so many of the fair daughters of the South. Good Advice to Parents. Many parents labor under the mistaken impression that their children most all pass through the ordeal known as chil dren’s diseases, and, as they sometimes express it, the sooner the better. A child is no more Bubject to disease (in fast less so) than an adultjf the proper preoaulionB are taken to regulate its diet and keep the system cleansed by appropriate medi cines. By this we do not mean an habitu al "dosing” with purgatives. Such a practice would' weaken the infant system so that it could not resist tbe attacks of disease, and would also prove ruinous to its physical constitution. Bnt a moderate, occasional osu of an efficient alterative, or blood pnrifier, wonld almost absolutely insure the child’s system against the dis ease, besides greatly promoting its vigor and strength. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi cal Discovery is unexcelled ss an altera tive, and will prove a very effectual - pre ventive of these diseases. The Fiagne—iu Terrible Sta tistics. The Sanitarian Magatme for May, among ether contributions of great ex cellence, contains the moat satisfactory and exhaustive article upon the plague* or black disease, that we have seen any where. It is from the able pen of Dr. James Christie, and gives a detailed and connected history ot the malady from its earliest known origin to the present d«y, with particulars as to all its 6jmp.. m? progress and termination. The won. plague is from the Latin ploys, derived from the Greek pUge, a stroke, inflicted by the gods. The premonitory symptoms, eays the Doctor, are chilliness, weariness, languor or debility, preoerdial uneasiness, occasionally nausea and vomiting, head ache, vertigo, a hot and dry skin and a frequent pulse. These conditions are soon followed by the peculiar symptoms of plagne; darling pains are felt in the groins, arm-pits and other parts o! the body, wMch are soon followed by enlargement of the lymphatio gland, or by inflammation of the snbcc. taaeoas tissue, constituting carbun cles. As the disease advances the swell ings increase; the tongue beoomos furred, ofeen dry, brown or blaokiib, and fissured; a dark sordes oollecta upon the game and lipc; and there is often great thirst, and an internal sensation of bnrning heat The bowels, which are at first constipa ted, become relaxed, the stools bring dark, offensive and sometimes bloody; and the urine is generally scanty, turbid, yellowish or blackish, and tinged with blood. The general strength is greatly prostrated; the patient has a staggering gait, and attacks approaching to syncope ars not uncommon. The power of the willis impaired, the intellect ia confused and delirium or . ooma may supervene. There are usually remissions in tho morn- ing and evening, and exsoerbationa dar ing the day and night; the morning re missions and nootnrnal exacerbations be ing commonly the greatest. Bnboes may appear at the commencement of the dis ease, or after one or more days, or not until near the close. Carbuncles usually make their appearance later than the bn boes, and may oc:ur on any part of the body. Petoblse, or purplish spots, like flea bites whioh usually beoome livid as the disease advanoes, occur only in btd < and sometimes along wl'h these spots there axe vlbioes, or irregnlar purplish or livid patohes, like braises. Convales- oenoa generally begins between the sixth and tenth days, and is frequently much protraoted by suppuration or tbe bnboes.” Death may occnr at any stage of tha dis ease, even doting the stage of invasion, bnt usually takes plaoe between the third and fifth days. Suoh is this terrible disease whioh is bo fatal,that from 70 to 90 of those attacked with it die. Dr. Cbriatie gives voluminous statiatios showing the ravages of the disease at different timer. In Toulon in 1720, ont of 26,276 inhabitants JL3,283 died. Only 6 000 escaped the'disease. From 1347 to 1351, Heoker assumes that twenty-five milliont ot the inhabitants of Europe fell viotims to the plagne. So great was the consternation that the wildest and most absurd snsploiona were aroused, which often proved fatal to the innooent. We olose this netioe with an extract illustrating how far tbe persecu tions were carried: “Ibe populaoe at tributed tbo mortality to poison, and the Jews were everywhere suspeoted of hav ing poisoned the wells or infected the air. In Germany, espeoially, the springs and wells were bnilt over that nobody might drink of them, or employ their contents for culinary purposes, and for a long time the inhabitants of nnmrrons towns and villages used only river and rain wa ter. All the Jews in Bsslo were enolosed in a wooden building, constructed for the purpose, and burned with it, upon the mere outcry of the people, without sen tence or trial. "At Spires the Jews, driven to despair, assembled in their own habitations, which they set on fire, and thne con sumed themselves with their families. The dead bodiee of the murderers, whioh lay about the streets, wero put into emp ty wine casks and rolled into the Bhine, lest they should in'eot the air; and at Stroaburg, 2,OCO Jews were bnrnt alive their own burial ground, where a large ECitfold had been erected for the purpose.

WJrat tbe Democracy will Do. The Washington Star is not very good authority in reference to the purposes of the D.-mooratio majority in Congress; but in tbe following forecast of probabil ities it agreei with several other newspa pers. It prediots that in the oanens to be held by ths Democrats, the plan offer ed by Foster, of Ohio, in the last Con gress, will be adopted. That is, to pass a joint resolution continnlngin foroethe army and legislative appropriation bills on (he bieiB of last yaar’s appropriation- - , until Deoember next; then when Con gress again assembles make other tem porary provisions until regular appropri ations are made. Shonld this ooutse be proceeded with tbe probability is that Congress will adjourn by tb9 middle of next month. The Republicans wonld favor an early adjournment, to gat rid of financial legis lation, and there are enough hard money Democrats who will vote with them, rather thin further widen the breach be- t weentho eastern and western wings of tbe patty by tinkering with the fina&oes. There is, too, a current of feeling among not a few Democrats that if the veto is based on the ground annonnoed in ex- Secretary Bobcson’a speech that it inter feres with the President's power ovsr the civil cfficers of tho government, that the words "civil officers” will he stricken ont. It, ia claimed that thus amended the Pres ident will eign the bill. Of course if he has ether objections his message will fully set them forth. How Thublow Wsid Fooled Him self.—The Washington correspondence ot tho Chicago Tribune says that among other stones told about these supplies for political campaigns to one at tbe ex pense ot Thnrlow Weed. He went from Albany, where he then resided, down to New York, in 1856, and obtained from the Seward men a fund to enable him to defeat Fillmore. Having a dread of In vestigations, he plaoed $10,000 In an Albany back to the creditor hia partner, to be drawn out as it might be needed. A few days afterwards the partner dropped dead in the street, and the bank paid over the money, with the other sums deposited by him, to Ms widow. This was not agreeable to Mr Weed, bnt his disgust was increased when, a couple of years later, Mr. Fillmore wooed and married the widow—and the $10,000.

The Knoxville papers announce the death of Professor Warren uuPre, LL.D., President of Martha Washington College, at Abingdon, Va. Ho was an eminent man in the M. E. Church South. The Doctor’s death took place on the 25tb inat, and was the result of an attack of erysii>elas.

From our own correipondent.J Comparatively. few words will be need ed to give your readers information con cerning the remainder of the session. It will be remembered v that the main to eompliahmsot of-oar Convention was the establishment of a State Mission Board, through which the two beards of onr great Southern Baptist Convention are requested to aot in the collection of mis sion funds. The new 8‘ate Board was appointed, and is ui follows: A. T. Spalding, F. M. Daniel, J. S. Lawton, D. E. Batter, J. G. Byals, Q. A. Nunn ally, D. W. Gwian, R. B. Headden, V. C. Nor eroes, most of whom reside in Atlanta. The former very efficient secretary was re-elected, Dr. J. H. DeVotie, and the name of the board was ohanged to ’Board of Missions of the Baptist Convention of the State of Georgia.* Bev, T. C. Boy kin was re-appointed Snnday School Evangelist for the State, and the various Sunday schools of the State were invited to make regular contribution* to the Sun day aohool work in the State. A oommlltee oompoeed of the follow ing named geatlenaen, was appointed to confer with tbe Boards, or Committees, who have in oharge the maintainanoe of an Orphan’s Home, and the seeming funds for the relief of aged ministers, and, in oonjnnotion with them, devise each plans as shall dissolve the relations at present existing between those objeots and the Convention, and report their ac tion to the Convention at Us next meet ing.

The report on temperance, whioh i adopted, strongly opposed and repre hended the nae and sale of intoxicating liquors, avowing that those who sinfully ns* and sell ardent spirits, should not be retained in onr membership. A resolution was passed by the Con vention to snetain to the extent of its power Bev. J. H. Campbell ia his mis sionary labors in the city of Columbus. Brother H. S. Bates, of that olty, strongly eulogised the labors of Dr. Campbell, and urged the neoeasity of his being sus tained in his present useful position. The report on Sand ay schools took high grounds in their favor, and urged n more general adoption of ths Sunday aohool convention plan, proposed by oar State Sunday-school Evangelltot, for organis ing the various diatriot associations for this work ; and it strongly recommended wo Sanday-eohool papers pub- Jubed in yonr city, find Words, and the Baptist Gem. HISTORICAL SCOIZTY. The Georgia Baptist Hiatoriosl Soci ety held an interesting meeting on Friday night, and it was shown that considerable progress had been made in preserving the reoords or onr denomination in the State. Ths old offioers were re-elected. DELEGATUS TO TEE CONVENTION.

The contributions of Georgia to the foreign board and otherwise will inoroaaa this number to seventy-five or eighty in all- Contrary to hia nanal custom Dr. Mell made some very touching and appropri. ate remarks at the dose of the session, which brougnt tears into the eyes of many. Part of his addrees was: "This is the fourth time I have met with conventions in ths beautiful city of Columbus. Tha first time I cams was as a clerk in 1852. Then I was ths gnest of Berr. John E. Dawson, who has long since gone to heaven. Next, in 1859,1 was the guest of J. K. Bedd, now in heaven. Next, in 1867, when I stayed with Dr. A M. Walker and J. E. Appier, the former of whom has also gone to his - toward. Who of ns may go this year? I think perhaps I may be of the number, bnt whether I live or die is of little importance so that (live or die to the glory cf God. I have often felt that I was at the gates of death, bat without fear. I am willing to sabmit to tbe will of God, and live on it by so doing I can thereby serve Him.” Tbe doting exorcises, which conduced with a prayer by Bev. T. B Slade, were very affecting.

The Denver, Colorado, Democrat of the 231 instant says that all the indications now point to a general outbreak of the Indians daring the summer. The chief White Bird is now, says the Cheyenne leader, assisting Sitting Ball in every possible way to muster til the Indian forces which can by any method bo in duced to join their fortunes. White Bird has already induced the fierce Yankton Sioux to dig np tho tomahawk and to start on a trail of blood wMch will lead many of them out of this world. He and the rest of the Nez Peroes who escaped capture at Bear Paw when Miles took Joseph are enraged at the treatment re ceived by that chief and bis followers, and are now determined to be revenged. The Bannocks are also preparing for the straggle, and have deposed Tnsloy, the chief who was friendly to the pale face, and bestowed the chieftaiaship upon a dastardly scoundrel to whom murder is pastime if it can be committed without fear of swift retribution. When found off their reservation they refuse to return and openly defy army officers who insist upon their doing so. The Crowe are reported friendly by their agent, bnt a Milk Biver trader asserts that a dozen Mountain Crows are in Sitting Ball’s camp and participated in the murder or a half-breed whose horse was coveted by a petty Unoapapa chief. There are ab- solulely no Indians in Montana who can be trusted if the Sionx sweep downward the Yellowstone. ’ The last Indian war of any magnitude to be fought in tho United States ia near at band; bnt while the spirit of the In dians is bnrning for the fray, while they will fight with desperation and as Indians never fought before, they are really in much worse condition for the combat than they were last year or in 1877. BBMtlMg affray. Last night abont eight o’clock Aha city was thrown into a decided exoitoment by the rapid discharge of five shots in the vloinity of Benner’s well known restau rant on Mulberry street, and immedi ately after the arrest of a colored man who was walking leisurely off np Mulberry street The crowd that gathered was very large, and it was thought that some trag edy had been exaoted. Is was soon dis covered, however, that no serious damage had been done. It seems that Henry Shields, the oolor- ed cook oenneoted with Benner’s restau rant, on the seoond floor on Mnlbeny street, had a difficulty with a oolored man who works in tbe establishment below, and went down stairs to have a settle ment. Shields hid been drinking, and as this portion of the establishment of the Messrs. Benner to ran with strict regard to decorum and good order, he wes direc ted to leave the store. This he declined to do. Some load words followed, when he was pnBhcd'ont to the sidewalk. Mr.J. H. Benner hearing the noise np stairs in his restaurant, went below, and spoke to the colored man, ordering him off. He immediately drew his knife from under his clothing and cut at Mr. Benner, ripping a gash in his shirt sleeve. Mr. B. was unarmed. He went up-ataire, procured hia pistol and returned. The colored man was still standing below in. a threatening manner when Mr. B. lev eled his pistol and fired. Tne fire was returned instanter. The colored man stood near the awning post, and Mr. B. near the entrance to the stairway. Five shots were exchanged with amazing rap. idity, both parties changing their posi - tions several times, Mr. Benner firing twice and tne colored man three times. After his third shot the oolored man fell to the ground, but rose and snapped his pistol at his antagonist. Tbe distanoe between tbe two conld not have been greater than eight feet daring the firing. After tbe shooting the colored man W2lkcd quietly up Mulberry street to the middle of Second street, where be wae arrested by Lieutenant Grace and officers Sicks and Wood, and lodged in the bar racks. Mr. Benner was fonnd to have reoeivad two slight flesh wounds in his left leg just shove the knee. The colored man also received two wonnds, a scalp wound abont twoinohes In length and one in his right arm, tha bnllet ot whioh was cot ont of hie ahonlder, and evidently hit the arm while extended iu tbe aot of ebootirg.

P AIN in the right side, under the edge of the rite, increases on pres- ture ; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends, to the top of ths shoulder, aud is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stom ach is affected.-,yith loss of appetite sr.ci sickness; the bowels in general aredostive, sometimes alternative with lax; the licid is troubled with pain, accompanfed with" a dull, heavy sen- satiOn'mlhe back part. There is gen erally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to hafe-bpen done. • A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient- complains of weariness and, debility; be is easily startled, his feet arc cold or burning, and he com plains of, a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits arc low ; and although he is satisfied that Exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he' can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact; he distrusts 'every remedy. ' Several of the abov© symptoms attend ths disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet exam ination of the body, after death, has shown the liver- to have been exten sively deranged.
