Senator Toombs and the Administration.
It is a somewhat remarkable coincidence that
on the very day when Mr. Toombs was solemn
ly digging up the charge that Gen. Dix is a free
soiler arid abolitionist, lor the purpose of proving
the l'ree-soil sympathies of the President, Gen.
Dix himselt was writing a letter to a gentleman
in Georgia branding the charge as unfounded.
We have published that letter, and it comes di
rectly and flatly in the teeth of Mr. Toombs’s
assertion. What Gen. Dix has thus written was
known to the President when he appointed him
to office, and without such knowledge he never
would have appointed hirn. The democrats of
Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama put the seal
of their condemnation on this charge, upon the
authorized announcement that the President had
appointed no man to office who was known to
him, or believed by him, to be a free-soiler. As
a specimen of the view taken of this question at
the South, we give the following article from the
Mississippian:
‘The appointments o( the administration were
the points selected lor its assailment by the
whigs in the recent State contests. In Ten
nessee, where the democrats have elected their
candidate tor governor by an unexpectedly large
majority, Henry, the whig candidate, made the
presidential appointments the burden of his com
plaint. A like course w’as adopted in all the
other States. But the result is a triumphant
answer to their charges. The people of the
South have seen nothing in Mr. Pierce’s course
not entirely consistent with the Baltimore plat
form ; on the contrary, they have seen that the
effect of his discreet but straightforward and
manly course has been to put down agitation to
an extent scarcely to have been expected. Let
the whig leaders in this State who are w aging a
factious war against his administration protit by
the fate of their confederates elsew here.”
But we are not content to leave the matter to
rest upon southern democratic testimony, either
derived from the late elections, or southern jour
nals known to be as much devoted to the con
stitutional rights of the South as Mr. Toombs.
The New York Times, an able and influential
whig paper, gives to Mr. Toombs a rebuke which
is particu'ariy worthy of notice. The Times
quotes the foregoing extract of Mr. Toombs’s
speech, and thus comments on it:
‘ ‘Mr! Toombs does less than justice to three
very respectable gentlemen in this paragraph.
“1. To Hon. John A. Dix, who, in his letter
to Dr. Garvin, has most explicitly declared him
self a foe to abolitionism ; a friend to the Com
promise ; and upon the whole, a more strict con
structionist than Mr. Toombs himself.
“2. To Hon. Peter D. Vroom, who has in no
instance, through a consistent political life, ex
hibited the slightest partiality tor Garrison and
his creatures. Baltimore never contrived a plat
form so awkward and shapeless that Mr. Vroom
hesitated to mount it. He clave to General Cass
in 1848 ; advocated the Compromise, both before
and after its passage; and lent the whole force
of his character and name to repress the spirit of
opposition us manifest in the first instance, in
New Jersey as anvw'here else. No man less
properly merits the name Mr. Toombs lends him.
“3. To the President, who is thus acquitted ot
appointing any other abolitionists than such as
may be included under “the examples not given;’
and should accordingly be discharged, cleared.”
There are point and force in this rebuke ad
ministered to Mr. Toombs by the Times: it
comes from a liberal whig, and, if we mistake
not, from one who occupied a somewhat similar
position with Mr. Toombs himself in the late
presidential contest. We desire especially to
call the attention of southern whigs to the lib
eral and conclusive testimony of the Times
against the charge that Gov. Vroom is affected
with lree-soilisrn. A more unfounded charge
was never made, and we are astonished that a
gentleman accupying Mr. Toombs’s position
should have fallen into so gross an errpr.
We have still one other witness, whose testi
mony will cany with it great weight from his
peculiar relation to the whig party and the sec
tional question. The New York Tribune quotes
the late letter of Gen. Dix, preceded by the fol
lowing comments and admissions:
“Hon. John A. Dix, whose name appeared on
the Van Buren free-soil ticket in 1848 between
those of Charles Francis Adams and Seth M.
Gates, being now a candidate before Pierce for
the French mission, has felt constrained to write
the following letter to a southron. We give it
with all the honors. There now remain of the
democratic bolters of 1848 only John Van Buren
and Benj. F. Butler uncommitted to the fugitive
slave law’, and we may be called to record their
adhesion any moment, though it will doubtless
be given sooner or later according as they shall
discover anything within reach in the office line
that they happen to want.”
Mark the admission of the Tribune : “ There
now remain of the democratic bolters of 1848 only
John Van Buren and Benjamin F. Butler uncom
mitted to the fugitive slave law,” fc. What a
commentary is this upon the grave declaration
of Senator Toombs that the President has been
false to the pledges of his Inaugural ! The
southern democrats come forward in solid phal
anx and repel the charge—they gave to the
President a triumphant support, and they pay
the highest tribute to the wisdom of his policy
in looking to the harmony and union of the par
ty as a leading object to be accomplished. The
northern whigs step forward and admit that he
has been faithful to his pledges. But Mr. Toombs,
who neither regards the whigs or the democrats
as good enough associates for him, appropriates
to himsell all the real love of the Union, and
calls upon the people of Georgia to disregard all
this overwhelming evidence He proclaims to
his deluded followers that the Union is in dan
ger. Listen to this second Webster:
“ The danger exists, is increasing and ought to
be diminished. Ones allow the enemies of the
Compromise to obtain control of the public offices,
they will gradully force their way into the high
places of the government, and then farewell to the
Union. With a majority from the uon-siave
holding States in both houses of Congress, what
guarantee has the South that its vital institution
will not be crushed ? The prospect of danger is
the time to avert it. A President with Ireesoil
sympathies, as evinced in his appointments to
office, is not a fit representive of the Union—
blowing hot and cold at the same time. Profes
sions cost nothing, and often accomplish at great
deal ; but action proves the man, his grit and
stature.”
“ A President with freesoil sympathies, as
evinced in his appointmeuts!” The charge
stands rebuked by every word and every act of
the administration.
After having once more saved the Union, Mr.
Toombs dwelt awhile on “ home matters”—
and, after all, we suspect that he Isas much more
fears as to these than as to the Union. The idea
of seeing such a man as Judge Johnson elected
governor of Georgia seems partieu arly offensive
to tbe senator. He repels it in a blaze of elo
quence which eclipses anything that ever fell
from other lips but Webster’s. He said, speak
ing of Judge Johnson :
A man of ability, of honorable character,
yet of contracted views, he is not the leader for
the crisis : he is not the pilot to guide the ship
of State amid the storms anJ rocks of the politi
cal ocean, lashed into lury by the wild, malig
nant harpies who would deluge the land in
bloold io secure the downfall of southern insti
tutions. The reign of abolition, encouraged by
the President, will ruin the country. Let us
withdraw our support from the man who thus
mocks our sensibilities and disregards our wel
fare.”
How wretched must be the plight of that
cause which forces a man in the position of Mr.
Toombs—a senator of tbe United States—thus
to charge that “ the reign of abolition is encour
aged, by the President !” It is but one re nove
from the calumny of Foss and Fogg, which in
the canvass assailed the President himself as an
abolitionist! Does Mr. Toombs imagiue that
the people of Georgia will listen patiently to
such an accusation ?
Mr. Toombs closed with a eulogy upon “ plain
Chas. J. Jenkins” as the proper man for the
crisis. He spoke of him as the workman w who
framed the Georgia platform, who squared every
timber, fitted and nailed every plank in it,” and
he should be placed in the executive
chair. This is the first time that we have seen
the construction of the Georgia platform attribu
ted to Mr. Jenkins. Indeed, we have labored
under the impression that the Georgia platform
is but a substantial transcript of the minority
project in the second Nashville convention, and
that it was framed, its timbers squared, and every
plank nailed, by a member of that convention
from Tennessee, who has been supposed to have
strong southern sympathies. This is a matter of
historical interest, and we hope Mr. Toombs has
not ventured, without good authority, to rob a
Tennessee statesman of high distinction of his
thunder for the purpose of giving strength to Mr.
Jenkins.

Mass Meeting in Jefferson, Jackson County.
A meeting of the people of the 6th Congres
sional District, was held at Jefferson, Jackson
Co., on the 15th inst., and notwithstanding the
invidious report, that had gone forth, of its being
a decided failure, we confidently assert and be
lieve that there could not have been less than
Two Thousand persons present, and the unanimi
ty of feeling, and enthusiasm, for the Democra
tic cause could not be surpassed.
A large number of the most distinguished gen
tlemen of the party were in attendance, and ad
dressed the meeting. His excellency Governor
Cobb, Judge Johnson, our candidate for Governor,
and Gen. Wofford were of the number.
Governor Cobb was met by a large concourse
ot people about 2th of a mile from the village
and escorted in.
An excellent band of Music from Franklin
was engaged, and during the march, discoursed
most excellent music. Enthusiastic cheers greet
ed him from ail sides, and his reception was one
that certainly afforded him the most unbounded
pleasure, and also as certainly quieted all ap
prehensions, as to his personal and political popu
larity.
Judge Johnson addressed the meeting at con
siderable length, and in a most able and credita
ble manner, completely vindicated the principles
of the party who have chosen him to bear their
srandaid to the field on the Ist Monday in Octo
ber next. Judge Johnson was frequently inter
rupted by long and continued cheering from the
whole assemblage. He was followed by Gov.
Cobb, in his usual masterly and agreeable man
ner, urging upon the people of the District to
eomejlorward to the polls, and give their undivi
ded support to Judge Johnson, as a man eminent
ly capable to serve them, and whose distinguish
ed services in various capacities, and his entire
devotion to the party for years past, point him
out as the man for the people, the whole people.
I have never listened to a more pleasing ad
dress, and the delight and appreciation in which
it was received was’shown by the most enthu
siastic applause.
Gen. Wofford also addressed the meeting in his
usual happy manner.
A very excellent Barbecue, was served up at
which all partook. The meeting was dissolved
in the most friendly manner—no disturbances
occurred to mar the good feeling and spirit which
everywhere prevailed, and the occasion will
long be remembered with pleasure, by those who
had the good fortune to participate in it.
Union Democrat.
Gov. Cobb. —The Jenkins papers have taken
a duck fit because Gov. Cobb has addressed his
fello w citizens on the qustionsof the day. Noth
ing to them could be more unwise. It is no
doubt very distrassing to them for Gov. Cobb to
pay a visit to the up country just at this time.
They had set their traps to catch Union Demo
crats, arid sprinkled as little ‘Union” meal
under them, and Gov. Cobb has gone up to ex
pose the cheat and put Union Democrats on
their guard against Coon claw’s ; hence the per
turbation among the Webster Tertium Quid
Whigs. These same papers have taught the
people to think very highly of Gov. Cobb, and
the people will not be apt to turn somersets be
cause they do.
Gov. Cobb, because he is Governer, does not
lose his right to defend himsell against the mis
representations of the Whigs— his office does
not prevent him from an expression of his politi
cal opinions, at snch times, and on such occasions
as he pleases. Union Democrats can judge of
the extent of the love the Republican Citizens
bear them by reading their abuse of Gov.
Cobb.— Federal Union, 20 th inst.
Ihe Prospect.— ls the Democracy do their
duty. Judge Johnson will be triumphantly elec
ted Governor of Georgia. The signs are omi
nous of a glorious victory. We hear the most
encouraging accounts from every quarter. Even
in the strong hold of whiggery, the 7th and Bth
districts, our prospects are brighter than ever
before. There are hundreds who can
not and will not vote for Mr. Jenkins, on ac
count of his Algerine Law—they may not vote
for Judge Johnson, and will abstain from voting.
We have conversed with several whigs in the
last week at our very door, who will “not vote
lor Jenkins on account of his Property qualifi
cation law. The State abounds with similar in
s ances.— lb.
Tne weather has been warm during the week,
and occasional showers passing about. In some
parts ot the county they have been heavy. On
Friday evening quite a heavy gale sprung up,
and played havoc with the timber in some sec
tions. We regret to learn that Mr. John Harris
of this county had a horse killed, and his buggy
crushed by the falling of a tree during the preva
lence of the wind.— Sandersville Georgian. 20th

The Restrictive Laws of the Olden Times.
We were reading, recently, a history of Con
necticut, from its first settlement under Geo.
Fenwick, down to the Revolution. The volume
was originally published in London, in 1781, and
re-printed at New Havan in 1829; and we
i found some curious enactments therein. Here
I are some ot the laws:
‘ Whoever wears clothes trimmed with gold
| silver, or bone lace, above two shillings by the
i yard, shall be presented by the grand jurors, and
l the selectmen shall tax the offender at £3OO es
tate.”
“ A debtor, in prison, swearing he hath no es-
I tate, shall be let out, and sold to make satisfac
j tion ”
“No one shall read the book ot Common
Prayer, keep Christmas or Saints days, make
minced pies, dance, play cards, or play on any
instrument of mus e, except the drum, trumnet
j and jewsharp ‘ ’
c “ T J he Sabbath day shall begin at sunset on
! Saturday.”
"No woman shall kiss her child on the Sabbath
or fas s ing day.”
| “No one shall travel, cook victvals, make
| beds, sweep house, cut hair, or shave on the Sab
bath day.”
“No one shall run on the Sabbath day. or
walk in his garden, or elsewhere, except rever
ently to and from meeting.”
“ No one to cross a river, but with an author
ized ferryman.’’
“No food or lodging shall be afforded to a
Quaker, Adamite or other heretice.”
“Every male shall have his hair cut round ac
cording to a cap,” &c , &c.
We find the following account of a punishment
inflicted for entertaining heretics, on one Deacon
Potter, whom Cotton Mather says was verily
guilty, and that he had a fair, legal and candid
trial, and was convicted on good and scriptural
evidence,
u Deacon Potter,” says Mather, “was hanged
I f° r heresy and apostacy, wh'ch consisted in
showing hospitality to strangers who came to
his house in the night, among whom were Qua
kers, Anabaptists and Adamites.” His wife be
trayed him for hiding the spies, and sending
them away in peace. 1 here was also a politi
cal offence, the remedy for w hich is worth noting
“No man shall hold office who is not sound
in the faith, and faithful to his dominion; and
whosoever gives a vote to such person, shall’ pav
a fine of one pound ; tor a second offence he shall
be disfranchised.
The Rev. Geo. Whitfield, in one of his ser
mons, gives the people of Connecticut the follow
ing character: “ They are the wisest of any up
on the continent, the best friends, and the worst
enemies; they are hail-brained bigots on all
sides, arid they may be compared to horse and
mule without bit and bridle. In other colonies
1 have paid for my food and lodging, but never
could spend one penny in fruitful Connecticut,
w’hose banks flow with milk and honey, and
whose sons and daughters never fail to feed and
refresh the weary tiaveller without money and
without price. On Saturday evening, the peo
ple look sour and sad. and on the Sabbath they
appear to have lost their dearest iriends, and are
almost speechless, and walk softly. A Quaker
preacher once told them, with much truth, that
they worshipped the Sabbath, and not the God j
of the Sabbath. Tho»e hospitable people, w’ith- 1
out charity, condemned the Quaker as a blas
phemer ot the holy Sabbath, fined, tarred and
feathered him, put a rope around his neck, and
plunged him into the sea; but he escaped with
his life, though he was about seventy years of
age.”— Cincinnati Times.

Senator Toombs.
We extract a portion of an editorial from the
Washington Union showing above gentle
man, to which we invite attention.
Two points in it, especially, we request our
readers to note. Ist. The fact therein quoted
from good Whig authority too.that the Hon. Peter
J. Vroom has been grossly misrepresented and
slandered by Mr. Tr ombs, and his co-adjutors in
Georgia, in their work of Agitation, and of de
traction of President Pierce.
2d. The claim asserted for a Tennesseean of
high distinction of being the author of the Geor
gia Platform, by whom, and not by Mr. Jenkins,
says the editorial, “it was Iramed, its timbers
squared, and eveiy plank nailed.”
Mr. Toombs and Mr. Stephens ought to know
all about this, for we are informed they played
wild havoc with Mr. Jenkins’ programme as
prepared by him and carried to Milltdgeville. It
seems now they plagiarised from the Minority
Report of the Nashville Convention.
Mr. Vroom’s is one of the few appointments
to office which have served Messrs. Toombs and
Stephens as a pretext lor all their hellabulloo
about the country being “in great and immi
nent DANGER.”
It may be as well here to remark that we have
travelled some this summer in Georgia and else
where, and have made some inquiry as to how
people felt on the subject, and we have not
met the first man that said he honestly enter
tained the slighted apprehension for the sta
bility of the government or the safety of the
country. We have heard of no such man. We
do not believe there is any such man to be
found. Mr. Toombs can’t get up a panic. The
election is near at hand, with strong probabili
ties of Judge Johnson’s election. Yet nobody
is scared. Property don’t go down. People aie
making no preparations for a break up. Dem
ocrats under the full assurance of Judge John
son’s triumphant election, and the consequent
strengthening by the voice of Georgia of the pa
triotic Administration of President Pierce, are
preparing to come by thousands in joyous spirits to
our State Fair in October. Whigs, under painful
apprehensions of the same result, also intend
coming by thousands to the Fair, knowing that
there is no catastrophe at hand, even, though the
Democracy of Georgia should add our own no
ble State to the other twenty-seven that stand
| firmly by the President of the people.
The Republic is safe. Judge Johnson will be
Governor elect. Yet, our Fair Grounds will 4 be
a scene of security, of serenity, and enjoyment.
Cotton will be brougotto market, and sold for a
good price, and the merchants will sell their goods
as asual,and share in hope in the general prosperi
ty. The season will roll on bringing seed time and
harvest as usual, and our noble Democratic State
] go on in her career of improvement, regardless
| of the agitators, and quite indifferent as to what
may be the present state of Mr. Jenkins, affiec
tions for the National Whig Party. Mr. Toombs
must try another experiment. The election

The Buzzard Story Again.
As a set off to the certificate of the fifteen
W'hose card we published on Sunday, we now
present the following, which we find in the last
Macon Telegraph :
Cherokee County, Sept. 17th, 1853.
The undersigned, citizens of said county, have
seen, with much surprise, a certificate signed by
fifteen persons, published in the Southern Re
coider of the 13th inst., in relation to a speech
delivered by the Hon. H. V. Johnson, at Can
ton, sometime in August, 1852, by which he is
reported to have said, in said speech, that “he
had no confidence in Union Democrats—that they
could not be trusted—that they stunk , and that they
would be dead and eat up by the buzzards before
the dog-days were out ”
The ui dersigned heard every word of Judge
Johnson’s speech on that occasion, and without
saying anything of the persons who have sign
ed said certificate, or of their motives, the un
dersigned feel it to be their duty, as an act of
justice, to say that both the language and sense
of the speech, are entirely perverted by the cer
tificate. Judge Johnson was, at the time, a can
didate upon the democratic electoral ticket for
Pierce and King, and was attempting to concil
iate Union democrats, of whom there were sev
eral hundred in the county, and to induce them
and the Union whigs who favored the election
of Pierce and King to vote for the ticket He
stated that the Union party was divided; that
some of its members would vote for each of the
tickets then in the field for Pierce and King;
and predicted that at the conventions then soon
to assemble in Macon, an electoral ticket would
be nominated for Scott, and another for Webster.
He spoke of the probable dissolution of the Un
ion party by its own divisions, and the epithelt
whieh lee used , were used in reference to the death of
the parly, and were not used in reference to Union
democrats or whigs , but only in reference to the par
ty organization of the Union party , which he pro
nounced to be on the point of dissolution. He
spoke freelv of party and party organization, but
said nothing disrespectful of, or justly offensive
to, Union democrats, whom were the very per
sons whom he was most particularly striving to
conciliate.

language attributed to him is as absurd, as to I
suppose that a suitor paying his addresses to a <
young lady, would tell her that her face was
ugly enough to break up a camp-meeting, and
her temper sour enough to turn a whole dairy
of sweet milk into clabber, by her just poking
her head into it? The story is absurd on its
face. It has not the first element of plausibility
to recommend it, and must, therefore, go along

length fiiteen, of beautitul copper ore, with very
favorable indications of a continuous length.

fifty feet, which is highly probable, the quantity
! to be got out will be 750 tons, worth, in market,
■ at SI2O per ton, the large sum of $90,000 from
which deducting the expenses of mining, &c.,
* which amount to S2O per ton, will leave a net
profit of $75,000.

Ihe Hartford Courant describes a curious and
very ancient piece of ordnance brought by Gov
ernor Seymour from Mexico, where it had been
kept in the Castle from an unknown antiquity.
No tradition of its origin is preserved. It is of
welded iron, encircled with iron bands, and im
bedded and riveted to a piece of oak. It is
about eighteen inches long, and five inches in
the bore.
Amertcan Gold Coin in the British West

coins of the United States shall be legal tender
in the British West India colonies, at the follow
ing rates, viz : the eagle at the rate of forty-one
shillings sterling; the half-eagle at twenty shil- 1
lings and sixpence, sterling; and the quarter-ea- 1

Joseph Dunn, of Durham, England, is now |]
exhibiting at the Crystal Palacl*a model of a 1
railroad track, car and switches, for reversing lo- 1
comotives. The Scientific American describes
it as having tracks, branching out from the main
track, at suitable distances from each other, meet
in a single track, the length of locomotive.
The car passes out by one track and returns by
the other reversed. The switches are placed
near each other, so that they may be operated
by a single man, and are kept open for the main
track by springs, except when the reversing is
made.
The Cleveland Herald tells of two gentlemen
of that city who had been to the “ Five Mile
Lock” shooting, got in their buggy to return
home, and one of them lighted a segar with a
piece of punk. When they arrived at the turn- ;
pike gate, two miles from the city, he unbutton- |
ed his coat and put his hand in his pantaloons ;
pocket for some change, but quickly withdrew |
it, burned. This pocket, portions of his woollen I
and cotton shirts an 1 parts cf his vest were
burned, and the fire had heated a flask in his
breast pocket so hot that he could not hold it
without burning his hand. The flask contained, a
pound of powder.
The Franklin brings word that the American
expedition to Japan was, at the latest dates, in |
the neighborhood of the Loo-Choo Islands* !
awaiting the arrival of the Powhatan. Accord
ing to the Hong-Kong papers, the Emperor of ;
Russia is resolved to share the glory of forcing j
open the sealed doors of Japan. His armament
in the China seas, according to these authorities, j
is for that object; and is not, as has been stated
a squadron of observation, designed to check and
control the movements of our fleet. Three ves- j
sels—the Pallas, o. 52 guns; the Dwina, of 19
guns, and the Voistock, of 4 guns—were to sail
from Hong-Kong early in August, to join the
American fleet and cooperate in the “over
ture.”
Look Out for Him. —A man by the name
Packard, engaged in selling maps, has been
driven from Georgetown, S. C., for tampering
with the negroes. He is supposed now to be
somewhere in Georgia or Alabama. “He is
described in the article in the Georgetown paper
as over six feet high, of thin visage, and about
50 years of age—has artificial front upper teeth
&c. He is a good talker, and doubtless requires
watching.”

horse flesh can, and her friends are sanguine that
she will make a desperate effort to conquer her
renowned opponent when the hour of trial

New Cotton. —Cotton is arriving at the
j- warehouses now very rapidly. There have been
about 1100 bales received, and it still
continues to arrive.— ffhllas, (Ala.) Gazette, IGlh
I inst.
The Weather. —The weather for a week
past has been very disagreeable, with continual
’ winds and showers every day. It seems that
the rains of last week were pretty general above
here, lor the Alabama has risen some eight or
ten feet, and is still rising, and in a fine state
for boats.— lb.
, We regret to learn that the crops in the east
ern part ol the county are generally much dam
aged Irom the recent heavy rains and the boll
’ worm. The prospect in the canebrake region
lor a crop is very good, the worm has almost en
, tirely disappeared, and it will average about
two-thirds.— lb.
T
We learn from our exchanges, of different
’ parts of the State, that the present cotton crop
1 has been, and is still, being injured by the boll
* worm, in the one place, and wet weather and
t grasshoppers in the other, —the fact is, we have
not seen chronicled, the first promising account
ol the cotton crop, in any one of our exchanges,
, in Alabama, recently, or since the beginning of
, the present month. The Alabama (Marion)
Commonwealth, states, that the opinion of a
’ large number of the planters of the Canebrake
* is, that it will be a miracle, if more than a
1 fourth of a crop of cotton is realized in all that
. fine cotton growing country.
; . The small crop of cotton in this section, was
opening very fast previous to the commence
ment of the wet weather, but since then, we
have not had a fair day,—and the cotton is
! sprouting and rotting in the fields. We don’t
* believe from what the farmers tell us, that the
t crop ol cotton, will average more than 300 lbs.
. per acre.— Lafayette, (Ala.) Tribune , 1 6th inst.
Tipped with the Romantic. —There is now
5 in the mountain region of Western Virginia, a
. young lady from Kentucky described by the Par
, keisburg Gazette as young, pretty, educated,
' and sprightiy, who is there to protect her rights
to a large tract of land, which descended to her
i from her ancestors, to whom it was patented for
Revolutionary services, but it is now claimed by
a land pirate, who formerly acted as her agent.
To defend her rights ‘ solitary and alone’ to the
. disputed territory, she went, made a clearing,
f built a log cabin, and located a tenant. She
always carries one of Colt’s revolvers, and thus
armed, roams fearlessly over the mountains, fol
lowing paths seldom trod save by the panther
and bear.
’ The Case of Sneed at Niagara. —We have
been shown the requisition of Howell Cobb,
. Governor of Georgia, for Patrick Sneed, on a
charge of murder. The requisition was accom
panied by a formal affidavit of R. W. Campbell,
. stating that on the 6th day of July, 1840, while
he w’as near the junction of the Savannah and
1 Augusta roads proceeding to the city of Savan-
Inah, he heard the report of fire arms, near the
highway, and immediately after saw Patrick
Sneed emerge from the forest, being on horse
back and having on his shoulder a double bar
reled shot gun—that he appeared excited, &c.,
and was immediately missing from that section,
where he has not since been seen. The papers
are dated Sept. sth. and the great seal of the
State is affixed.— Buffalo Express, 15 th inst.
A gentleman claiming to be a “ friend to the
human rare,” and who keeps the run of facts,
figures and babias, has just laid before “an in
quiring world,” the following statistics :
The whole number of languages spoken in
the world amounts to 3,064 ; 087 in Europe, 936
in Asia, 276 in Africa, and 1,264 in Anerica.—
The inhabitants of our globe profess more than
1,000 different religions. The number of men
is about equal to the number of women. The
average of human life is about 33 years. Qne
quarter part die previous to the age of 7 years;
and one half before reaching 17 years of age;
and those u r ho pass this age enjoy a felicity re
fused to one half the human species. To every
1,000 persons only one reaches 100 years in
life; to every 100 only 6 reach the age of 66,
and not more than one in 5,000 live to 80 years
of age.
Religious Revival. —For somejweeks past a
deep religious feeling has pervaded this commu
nity. A revival, which began in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, is still in progress, and almost
every denomination has shared in its benefits.
Sunrise meetings for prayer, and inquiry meet
ings, besides preaching, are conducted regularly
in the Methodist and first Baptish Churches, and
in several other Churches religious exercises of
various kinds are held daily. Every thing is
conducted quietly. There probably never was a
time when more solemn, deep-felt seriousness
rested upon the people. It is a beautiful thought
that, in the midst of Heaven’s merciful visita
tions in the form of health and other temporal
blessings, the people of Savannah are offering up
prayer for spiritual blessings, and that in answer i
to prayer copious showers of Divine grace are *
descending upon them. j •
We learn that the Rev. Dr. Cross, of Charles
ton, who had been laboring with the stated
ministry at the Methodist church here, has re
turned from a short visit to his home in Charles- 1
ton, and will continue his labors in Savanna*
for a time longer. Upwards of one hundred and
fifty, we learn, have been added to the Methodist
church, and th-re has been a considerable addi
tion also to the Baptists.— Sav. Georgian. 20 th

Savannah River Railroad.— We copy from
the Augnsta papers the proceedings of a meet
ing of her citizens, authorizing a city subscrip
tion of $200,000 to this Railroad. In contem
plating the benefits and advantages which will
accrue to the city of Augusta by the construction
of this road, we think that her citizens have
exhibited forecast and wisdom in coming forward
and rendering such prompt and efficient aid
towards this great enterprise. That the com
pletion of this road, if only to Anderson Court
House, South Carolina, will greatly promote the
commercial importance of Augusta and advance
her general prosperity, we have not a doubt;
: and as the relations existing between Savannah
i Augusta are intimate and their interests are
, closely allied and even blended together, we
' cannot regard with indifference an enterprise
j which promises a rich reward to Augusta, and j
j which, directly or indirectly, must beneficially
| effect the interests of our own ancient and hon
l ored city of Oglethorpe. We therefore wish
! our sister Augusta God speed in this noble un
j dertaking.— Savannah Republican , 2 Olh inst.
We regret to learn that Mr. Clayton, the chief
j operator ol the Washington and New Orleans
! Telegraph Company at the Mobile office, died in
that city of yellow fever at three o’clock in the
afternoon of Monday. Mr. Clayton, who had
been for some time in the service of the Com
-1 pany, and much esteemed on the line, was. we
understand, an excellent young man, and a most
faithful and efficient operator, and fell at his post
! —indeed, the conduct of the operators of this
■ Company at New Orleans and Mobile is beyond
all praise. Noswithstanding the epidemic has
made sad inroads in their ranks, the survivors do
| not shrink from their duty, and the public are
I deeply indebted to them all, but more especially
j we learn to Mr. Arthur Wire of the New Orleans
j office, Mr. George Smith of the Mobile office,
j both these gentlemen having from the cora
j mencement of the pestilence devoted their whole
time and attention to their arduous duties, not
withstanding the danger they incurred.— Char.

j slowly from that line to this, while you beat
j one with your foot and give a long blast.—if
now you put a leg to him, you make two of him

OBITUARY.
1 Died, at her residence in Columbia county,
Georgia, on Friday, the 16th inst., Mr. Mary
j Wellborn, in the eighty fourth year of her ago.
Another connecting link between this and” a
! former generation has been snapped in twain, re
i minding us how rapidly the relics of Revolutionary
! memory, are fading from the earth. The vencr
; ablo subject of this brief sketch, was no ordinary
person, either considering abstractly, the qualities
j of her head and heart, or the general character
of her ancestrj' and family connection. She was a
I daughter, by his second wife, of the Rev. Daniel
Marshall, distinguished among the Primitive Bap
| tists of Georgia, for his so.i-sacrificing devotion to
' the cause of religious toleration, and tor his acfcivo
i and zealous attachment to the fortunes of our Re-
I volutionary fathers, in their contest for indepen
| donee. Thus descended, she was, of course related
j to that worthy list of Marshalls, who graced the
| earlier history of our State, by their virtuous in
, flucnce and bright examples, among whom we
might more particularly state, that she was the
I sister of Abraham, and the aunt of Jabez Mar
i shall, both of whom were distinguished in their day
| and generation, for eminent piety, and their elo
| quent advocacy of the cause of Christ. Sprung
j from and connected with a noble stock, the subject
! of this Obituary was in her sphere, a worthy rep
j resentativo of their many and heroic virtues. —
! She was married, in early life, to Elias Wellborn,
! who has boen dead some eighteen years, and who
rendered efficient and active service in the Revo
lutionary War, for wnich ins widow was duly pen
sioned by the General Government,
Removed by sex, as her husband was by dispo
sition, fr@m the strife and ambitious contests of
the world, it was their peculiar province to rear up
j a numerous offspring. Os strong pratical judgment
| and fervent piety, oven after the death of her hus
band, she managed her worldly interests with a
masculine skill and wisdom, and all through life,
trained updier household in the paths of virtue and
honor. Most nobly were her declining days re
warded and consoled, by the spectacle of her whole
posterity, in the full tido of successful career, and
without a blemish upon tho characters which she
had formed and moulded. Os familiar and accom
modating disposition, hor home was always tho
abode of a generous hospitality, and there is scarce
ly a traveller or wagoner, accustomed to that great
thoroughfare between middle Georgia and Augusta,
beiore railroads were established, but who has
drank from the •' old Oaken Bucket which hang
at hor well,” and are oven now amused and refresh
ed, by the recollections of her inquisitive disposi
tion and familiar kindnoss.
But this venerable mother in Isreal is gone !
Having lived beyond her threo score years and
ten; till the elastic throb had left her heart, and
the power ot locomotion had escaped her limbs, —
she has been taken in her second childhood, to tho
rest of her fathers. Her body reposes in the family
burial ground by the side of many of her children
and grand children, whom she has outlived, but
there are still scores who can rise up and call her
blessed, and plant the woodbine and cypress on her
venerable brow. L H. B.

It has been before the public for nearly tea years

prictor had never recommended it; its magical vir
tues spreads through the land with the speed of
lightning, and many, very’many poor invalids who
supposed their day 3 on this earth were fast drawing
to a close, have been by a persevering use of this
invaluable Liniment, healed, and now rejoice in
tho blessings of health, and the enjoyment of this
beautiful world. Read this to believe, and not to
doubt. Inquire of your neighbors whom you knov;
to have used it, and they will toll you that no med
icine over discovered possesses the half of its extra
ordinary healing powers. The racking pains of
rheumatism and neuralgia yield in a few minutes
to its powerfully anodyne properties "Thelame

the subject a loathsome thing to behold, are heal

of the nerves, by the use of this Liniment, rejoice
in tho recovery oft heir former health and strength.
. Many long standing affections ol the liver, iui©
and kidney ha ve yielded to its use after the various
remedies had failed. It is very efficacious in ca
ring the diseases of horses and cattle, such as swee
