(Sbcrattg Jltsjjatcjj. "AUGUSTA. GA: Wednesday Evening, Feb. 17, 1858. 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. - - Suicide. Col. Robert S. Gokee, who owned a plantation near Okalona, Miss., com mitted suicide in Marion, Ala., a few days since. The Advertiser of this morning chronicles the death of Capt. Wm. Loom, a well known citizen of Edge field. He died on Tuesday of last week. flgf Joseph A, Alexander, of Atlan ta, has received the appointment of Ca det at West Point, from the fourth Congressional District. The citizens of Atlanta have ten dered a Complimentary Benefit to Mr.] Wm. A. Choice, the leadingman of the Murdock Club. It takes place to-night, j An assault with intent to rob was j made upon Mr. P. Huge, in Atlanta, by three men, on Friday night last.—! Mr. Huge “hollered” and the rascals fled. Hon. Galusha A. Grow, who was as saulted by Mr. Keitt, at Washington, on Saturday, is said to be a native of Connecticut. His father is still living at Thompson, in that State. A r ew Bedford (Mass.) Standard. Very proud must his pa-ri-ents and native State be of such a son. His “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. Mr. Calvin Page, has disposed of the United States Hotel, at Fiederick, Md., to John F. Miller, Esq., for the sum of SIO,OOO. flij" The dwelling of Dr. P. 0. Oiier bonnier, of-Denton, Md., was damaged by fire, on Tuesday last. gif’ Three cases of small pox and three of varioloid, have occurred at the Head of Sassafras, Md, 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.” ) Special Correspondence to the Dispatch. Rain and Sleet—Negro Bnrncd to Deatb—Bad Memory of a Judge— I Big Hog. 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 , for 1858. The Judge having forgotten . Court week till too late, sent his apolo l gies to the Clerk. Joseph P. Brandon, Esq.,killed a hog, sixteen months old this fall, which weighed neat five hundred and seven ty-two pounds. Tours, &c., Buck Horn. 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.— - Philadelphia Bulletin. ••*.- 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” THat Striped Hyena, Which (the Cleveland Plaindealer stated,) eat three or four dead bodies, and killed two men, &c., in that vicini ] ty—turns out to have a roorback, with I which the Plaindealer was sadly sold, as j well as many of its cotemporaries. The i piece is having a good run. j Capt, John J. Garvin, one of the old | est sea captains belonging to the port of i Philadelphia, died last week.
