Peterson’s Magazine.
We have received the February and
March numbers of this excellent month
ly. It is certainly the best two-dollar
magazine published, Peterson has a
corps of the most talented contributors
in the country, and the most finished
artists adorn his pages with their inge
nuity. The fine steel engravings, fash
ion plates, patterns, &c., which appear
in it each month, should render it an
indispensable visitor to the household of
every family. It is published in Phila
delphia, by Charles J. Peterson, at $2
per annum.
Man Murdered.
We learn from Mr. W. T. Beall,
mail agent on the Georgia Railroad,
that a man named Joses, an overseer
for Mr. J. B. Hart, of Union Point,
was found dead at Mr. Hart’s planta
tion, two miles from the Point, on Mon
day evening. His head was horribly
mangled, and he was supposed to have
been murdered by some of Mr. H.'s
negroes.
Drowned.
Mr. Hardwick, living near Camargo,
Miss., and a negro boy were both drown
ed in the Bigbee river at that place, a
few days since.

Very proud must his pa-ri-ents and

“spi-ri-it” can’t be very “tremenduous”
to allow himself to be cuffed with im
punity. What a burlesque to write
“Hon.” before such a man’s name.

Mind What you say before Children.
A gentlemen was in the habit of cal
ling at a neighbor’s house, and the ia
dy had always expressed much pleasure
in seeing him. One day, just after she
had remarked to him her happiness
from his visit, the little boy entered the
room. The gentleman took him on his
knee, and asked him :
‘ Are you glad to see me, George ?’
‘ No, sir,’ replied the boy.
‘ Wliy not, my little man ?’
1 Because mother don’t want you to
come,’ said George.
Here the mother looked daggers at
her little son, and her face became
crimson. But he saw nothing.
* Indeed ; how do you know that ?’
1 Because she said yesterday, she
wished that old bore would not call
again.’
The gentleman’s hat was soon in
requisition, and he left with the im
pression that ‘ great is the truth, it will
prevail.”
‘Another child looked sharply in
the face of a visitor, and being asked
what he meant by it, replied :
* 1 wanted to see if you had a drop in
your eye ; I have heard mother say
that you have, frequently.’
A boy once asked of his father who
it was that lived next door to him. and
when he heard the name, inquired if he
was a fool.
‘ No, my little friend, he is not a fool,
but a very sensible man. But why did
you ask the question ?’
‘ Because,’ replied the boy, ‘ mother
said the other day that you were next
door to a fool, and I wanted to know
who lived next door to you.-- Globe.
Dr. Holmes, the Boston anatomist,
has given us new theory for the manu
facture of men of a large growth. He
says :
“In Kentucky, Ohio and Western
Vermont, men grow to a large size be
eause of the limestone formation under
the soil. Parts of families have emigra
ted to those regions, and the result in
the next generation has been a larger
bone development in those who left
Massachusetts, than in those who re
mained. Kentucky, Ohio and lowa,
will grow large men. The finest figures
in the world will be found in the Val
ley of the Mississippi, in a few genera- j
tions.”

Gwinnett Co., Feb. 15, 1858.
{ Editors Dispatch : —Rain commenced
falling and freezing here on Thurs
day night and continued to fall and
l freeze till Saturday, 12 o’clock. Had
the rain fallen moderately I have not
■ the least idea there would have been a
i limb or twig left on a tree. The roads
i are impassable from the fallen timber
and will require several days before they
can be opened so wagons can pass. It
is beyond all doubt the heaviest and
most destructive sleet ever known in
this county. Orchards and ornamental
trees are totally ruined. When the sun
rose yesterday morning on the icicles it
was the most beautiful sight I ever
saw,
One of Col. Henry Strickland's negro
men, had a fit a few nights ago, and
fell into the fire and burnt to death be
fore any assistance could be rendered.
This is the second boy the Col. has lost
within a few years by the same ac
cident.
Judge Hutchins received a letter from
the Clerk of Clark county, a few days
ago, informing him that it was usual to
hold Court in that county on the Ist
Monday in February, and inclosed in
the letter a very neat Court Calendar

. Court week till too late, sent his apolo
l gies to the Clerk.

The queens ofEurope.
An American lady, who was at Stut- j
gardt during the last meeting of thej
Emperors, thus writes of her own sex as
represented in the imperial party :
The Queen of Holland is a most culti
vated and elegant woman—still very
handsome, though she has a grandson.
She speaks English perfectly, and is,
perhaps, the most accomplished woman
in Europe. The Princess Olga is said'to
be the handsomest woman in Europe.—
The Empress of Russia is a regal look
ing woman. These ladies were dressed
in wh’te moire antique silk ; a stripe of
| white five or six inches wide, and a
j stripe of the same width covered with
I the richest flowers here ; and then, in
I the white stripe, there was an immense
1 j bunch of flowers. Tire dresses were all
I something in the same style—chip bon
| nets, with white feathers, and magnifi-
I cent lace mantles. I cannot forgive
1 the Queen of Greece for being a fat fair,
round faced, jollylooking human. I ex
pected to see a maid of Athens, and I
don’t like my romance dispelled.
From Washington.
Washington, Feb. 14. —The Board
appointed by the War Department to
examine Sharps’ breech loading car
bine, have made a report, the object
being to ascertain how long they may
be used without cleaning.
After twenty six shots with the eight
inch and thirteen with the ten inch
pistols, the movable or sliding breech
become so foul as to work with difficul
ty, and render further experiments im
practicable. Ten shots were fired in a
■ minute.
The United States Treasurer’s state
-1 ment shows, for the week ending on
’ Monday, receipts to the amount of
nearly $6G4,000. The amount on de
posit in New York is upwards of $,500,-
000; subject to draft $4,439,000; drafts
paid $1,100,000.
For the quarter ending with Decem
ber the receipts into the Treasury from
all sources amounted to $7,092,065, ami
the expenditures, for the same period
to $17,000,000.
’ The majority of the Senate Commit
tee on Territories are preparing a re
port and a bill for the admission of
. Kansas into the Union under the Le
, compton Constitution. They are act
ing without reference to the question
whether the free State or pro-slavery
: party has the Legislature or State offi
, cers. In deference to Senator Douglas,
the Chairman of the committee, who
’ has illness in his family, the report will
' probably not be made before Thursday,
. in order to give him time to prepare his
dissenting views. Messrs. Wade and
Collamer will unite in a third report.
It is clearly understood that in the
event of the persistent attempts of the
first to pass the Minnesota State bill a
i proposition will be made to unite it
with the Kansas measure, that the
success of the one may depend on the
passage of the other. Such, at least, is
the present programme.
—
The Massachusetts House of Represen
tatives has oy a large majority passed a
bill, by which persons usually styled
Atheists are allowed to testify in courts
of justice. Upon the question of recon
sideration, Hon. Caleb Cushing opposed
the measure as forcibly as he could, but
without effecting the final result, for the
bill has gone to the Senate.
Later from Santa Fe.
St. Louis, Feb. 13.—The Santa Fe
mail is to hand, with dates to the 16th
ult. The place was healthy and busi
ness was brisk.
The Legislature had adjourned to the j
Bth January.
Gold mines had been discovered in
the vicinity of Fort Filmore.
There had been no palpable demons
tration of hostility on the part of the
Utah Indians, but the Mormons were
evidently tampering with them. The
agents of the Government had been in
structed to act with caution and liber
ality toward the Indians, and to use
their utmost endeavors to prevent their
alliance with the Mormons.
The Santa Fe Gazette advocates the
raising of a regiment of mounted rifle
men in that Territory for the Utah war, j
stating that a march could be made!
from that point to Salt Lake within 1
fifteen days.
The Gazette also recommends that}
reinforcements be sent through New!
Mexico, describes the route as being |
much easier than the Northern, and I
that with an abundance of provisions
and forage nd destitute of cannon it
can be traveled quicker than via St.
j Louis.
<■ Pitching In.”
, The greatest of all nuisances, to a re
, spectable editor, are these small-mind
ed gentry who belive that the mission
of a journal is not to disseminate news,
and aid buyers and sellers by advertise
ments, hut to be perpetually “ pitching
in” to this subject or that subject ;
more generally iutojthisor thatindivid
ual. Such characters are generally ve
ry loud and talkative specimen of the
genus irritable, prone to hint that they
could carry on a journal witli all its
difficult'details much better than any
1 body else in the country ; that they
' would “stir up things,” and that their
■ firm belief is, that all a paper needs is
“pepper” to make it excellent. We
can imagine, as we write, that we
l even now hear the familiar accents :
1 “Now I just want you to write an artic-
I ie and give so and so fits”—for men of
, this description are generally gifted
with a degree of assurance which respects
- no duty or dignity, and suffers the pos
r sessor to believe that his miserable
fancies will actually receive considera
tion. And yet we can say with truth
5 that we never met with one of these ad
1 vocates for indiscriminate “pepper”
. and abuse, who would not writhe with
agony at the faintest allusions to him
-1 self in type which fell short of flattery,
t or who was not in fact a coward.
Men who put faith in abuse as a neces
sary element in journalism, who take no
interest in articles which are not in
1 some way personal, and who relish no
s “fun,” unless it cuts, are invariably
vulgar and selfish, just in proportion to
‘ the degree in which such tastes prevail
t with them. It is melancholy, however,!
i to see the number of them in every
r community, and the degree to which
they often succeed in inspiring writers,
1 for the press with their own spirit.—

Anecdote of Gen. Scott.
The Washington correspondent of the
1 Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following j
- little incident as of recent occurrence :
The House has lately passed a resolu
tion cutting off from the privilege of
the floor all persons except Justices ofi
the Supreme Court, Governors of thej
States, officers of the House, etc. Yes
. I terday, while the House was in session,
, | a tall, stout, gray-haired old man, dress
; ed in very plain clothes, approached the
> principal entrance of the hall, and evi-j
dently not aware of the new arrange- J
megt, attempted to enter. He was
. stopped by the door-keeper, who inquir-1
ed if he was a Chief Justice or aGov-j
ernor.
“ No, sir,” was the answer, “ but by j
a resolution of Congress all officers who |
have received the thanks of Congress]
are entitled to the privilege of the!
floor.”
“ Are yon an officer of the army?”)
asked the doorkeeper, looking with some I
| doubt at the stalwart man.
“ I am. sir ; my name is Scott—Win-]
field Scott, of the United States army!” ,
The manner of the door-keeper under
went an instantaneous change, as he
very politely informed the Geneial of]
the repeai of the resolution which gave I
him a right to the floor.
“But,” said he, “pass in General; Ij
will take the responsibility myself.”
“No, sir,” was the answer; “Ido’
not wish to violate any rule, sir ; I will
go to the gallery and the bravo old
man, whose name is synonymous with
1 the military glory of the United States,
1 climbed tiie long range of stairs, and I
took his seat in the crowded gallery, I
alone and unnoticed,

Tile Forged Will.
A few years since, a man of high re j
spectahility was tried in England on a!
charge of forging a will, in which it was i
discovered lie had an indirect interest j
| to a large amount. Mr. Warren was
the associate prosecuting attorney, and
the case was tried before Lord Denham.
' The prisoner being arraigned, and!
p the formalities gone through with, the]
] prosecutor, placing his thumb over the
seal, held up the will, and demanded of
] the prisoner if he had seen the testator |
’ sign that instrument, to which he!
promptly answered he had.
“And did you sign it at his request!
as subscribing witness ?”
“I did.”
“Was it sealed with red or black!
wax?”
“ With red wax.”
“Did you see him seal it with red!
wax ?”
“I did.”
“ Where was the testator when he!
signed and sealed this will!”
“ In his bed.”
“ Pray, how long a piece of wax did i
he use?”
“ About three or four inches long.”
“Whogave the testator this piece of!
wax?”
“ I did.”
“ Where did you get it ?”
“ From the drawer of his desk.”
“ How did he light that piece of wax?”
“ With a candle.”
“ Where did the piece of candle come
from?”
“ I got it out of a cupboard in his
] room.”
“How long was thatpiece of caudle ?”
“ Perhaps four or five inches long.”
“ Who lit that piece of candle ?”
“I lit it.”
“ With what?”
“ With a match.”
“ Where did you get that matcli ?”
“On the mantle-shelf in the room.”
Here Warren paused, and fixing his
large, deep blue eyes upon the prisoner,
he held the will up above his head,
his thumb still resting upon the seal,
and said, in a solemn, measured tone :
“Now, sir, upon your solemn oath,
you saw the testator sign that will—he
signed it in his bed—at his request you
signed it, as a subscribing witness —
you saw him seal it—it was with red
] wax he sealed it—a piece of wax, two,
] three, or four inches long—he lit that!
wax with a piece of candle which you!
| procured for him from a cupboard—you!
lit that candle by a match which you!
found on the mantle-shelf ?”
“I did.”
“Once more, sir! Upon your solemn
oath, you did ?”
“1 d*l.”
“ My lord—it’s a wafer 1”

HAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the leading
