(Etaraf Dispatch. GA: Monday Evening, Feb. titi, 1858. Walton Court. CONCLUSION OF THE O’KELLY TRIAL. After the conclusion of the testimo ny, which occupied about two days, and during which the Court House was crowded with spectators, the argument before the Jury was opened by Mr. Eas it, one of the counsel for the State. He spoke over an hour, and confined his speech mainly to a review of the testi mony and its application, to the crime with which the prisoner was charged. He is a young attorney, and made rath er a forcible speech. He was followed by Lamar, of Covington—a brother of L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi. He is a fine speaker, and his defense of the prisoner was skillfully managed, and eloquently enforced. These speeches occupied Friday after noon. At night—the Court House again thronged—Solicitor Thurmond address ed the Jury in behalf of the State. He addressed himself to the law and the testimony—defining the degrees of crime, and applying the testimony to the charge of murder, under which the prisoner was arraigned. He is an inde fatigable prosecuting officer, and an able lawyer. His speech exhibited great skill and discrimination—and was in keeping with his position as an officer of the State. He spoke an hour and three quarters. He was followed by Clark, of Covington, for the prisoner. His speech was rather desultory—in which he sought to refute the points of the Solicitor, and to make the most of eve ry thing favorable to the prisoner. His flashing eye—his pungent sarcasm—and glowing declamation were striking if not convincing. Ho spoke over two hours, and a quarter to 12 o'clock on Friday night, the court adjourned to the next morning. I watched the prisoner after the crowd had dispersed— he continued to hang his head, hut presented no other evidence of feeling, as the sheriff took him to one of the rooms in the Court House, where a guard was kept with him. Oil Saturday morning Judge Floyd closed the argument for the prisoner.— He spoke three or four hours. His mild eye and fine humane face are not adapted to the defence of such a crime dyed perdition-doomed wretch, but lie made most of the testimony in his de fence. He spoke forcibly—endeavoring to show that there was no intent to mur der—and that if the prisoner had not done all that others might do, there was no reliable evidence that he had acted without an honest purpose. In the afternoon Hon. N. G. Foster, of Madison, dosed the argument for the State, in one of his most powerful ef forts. It called out the warmest and noblest impulses of the soul, and he spoke with a power and feeling that was impressive and overwhelming—if not convincing to the jury. It is out of the question to give even an outline of his speech. He dwelt only upon the Strong points of testimony—the box in which the prisoner brought Iris wife to the county—in wiiich, lie said, no de cent owner of a menagerie would keep a bear—the toughest and meanest of brutes. He showed from the testi mony of the prisoner's own relatives, that others had usurped the place of the deceased in the domestic circle—and that his faithless conduct toward her •whom he had sworn to cherish, had con firmed, if it had not caused her insani ty. He showed how, day hy day, and inch hy inch, he had tortured, and wrung the very life-blood from her, by neglect, and hunger, and cold ; that while her own children aided the unho ly work—as she lay naked—and hungry —and freezing on the filthy floor of a rude log dungeon—another took her place in the domestic circle—reposed on her pillow—and children of shame prattled the name of a wanton mother around the w ; arm, glowing hearth. And then, while team flowed from an hun dred eyes, the speaker turned to the culpit, and, in his most impassioned manner, rehearsed them as evidence that he was a murderer. It is impossiule to do justice to this Speech of Col. Foster. I have heard him often at the bar, in the pulpit, and on the stump, but this is the crowning wreath in the chaplet of his fame as a lawyer and a speaker. He spoke little over an horn, and, after receiving a clear and able charge from Judge Hut chins, the Jury retired, and I left the court ground. It seems to he the universal convic tion of those who have heard the evi dence and the argument, that if they do not convict him of murder they will fail to enforce the law and fulfil the ends of justice. POSTSCRIPT. Verdict of the Jury in the case of O’KELLY I' TIIE STATE. By a privrte messenger to the Social Circle, we leam that after a few hours 1 consultation, the Jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter—and the Judge sentenced Thomas O’Kellt to three ( years imprisonment in the Penitentiary, c !yj Shipping Interest. I There are some signs of improvement in shipping. The New York Journal of Commerce says that seamen are becoming scarce, showing a greater demand for crews, and the amount of tonnage lying idle at tlio wharves lias much diminish ed. The same is true at other ports, in-! asmucli as orders for crews are being re-j I ceived in New York from Baltimore,Bos ton and New Haven. The scarcity of men is partly attributed to the large number who have entered into the government service during the period of commercial depression. The fact that the building of ships has been totally suspended throughout the country for several months, considered in connection with the losses of ships from disaster, causes au early improvement in the shipping . interest to be anticipated. — A Good Kaine. Sometime in 1836 or '39. (says an ex change,) a gentleman in Tennessee be come involved and wanted money; he had property and he owed debts. His property was not available just then, and off he posted to Boston, hacked by ! some of the best men in Tennessee.— i Money was tight, and Boston bankers ' looked closely at the names. “Very , good,” said they, “but, hut—do you . know General Jackson ?” “Certainly; but he is not worth one half as much . as either of these men whose names I , offer you.” “No matter, lie lias al ways protected himself and his paper, ' and we’ll let you have the money upon : the strength of his name.” In a few days the papers, with his signature, ar rived. The moment the Boston gentle men bankers saw the tall A. and long J. of Andrew Jackson, our Tennesseean says lie could have raised a hundred thousand dollars upon the signature.— So much for an established character for honesty. However men may have differed with Andrew Jackson political ly, no man could deny him the merit of an honest man. Special CorrcspoiMlence' Confer s Feb 19. Messrs Editors : —John P. Allen, an old and respected citizen of Walton i county, took the carswitli his negroes at this station, on Friday night. By the next train parties from the Circle and Monroe, with the Sheriff of Newton, started in pursuit of him, he having as it is supposed, started west, leaving many debts unpaid. Attachments have been issued on what he left, and sever al of his uegroes who ran away in his haste to leave, have been caught. Par ties are in pursuit of him. Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Union Point, Feb. 20. Messrs Editors : —A negro hoy be longing to Reuben Bennett near Union Point has acknowledged killing Jesse S. Jones— whose murder you announced a few days ago. The hoy was ran away, , and says that lie killed Jones while at ■ tempting to arrest him. The boy was arrested on suspicion, and did not ac knowledge the crime until lie was lodg ed in jail. He also implicates a hoy be longing to G. B. Hart. A short time ago two negroes attempt ed to outrage the person of a lady in! the vicinity, and it is thought this hoy was a party to it. Index. Front Kansas. St. Louis, Feb. 18. —The Kickapooi correspondent of the Republican reports that a party headed by Charles Senk- ] hart had burned the offices of Lawyer j Boyd and Dr. Davis at that place, who j 1 with others had fled to Missouri. Mrj, Diffendcvf had been discharged by the! —ktj or iv. Committee of Investigation. The Legislature has adjourned. The Constitution Convention hill had not been approved by the Governor. Armed bodies were reported in the vicinity of Fort Scott hut there had been no fighting. St. Louis, Feb. 19.—'The Kansas cor respondent of the Democrat (black re publican) states that the Topeka Legis lature re-assembied on the 10th inst. Concurrent resolutions were introduced i setting forth that as the President ad vacates the passage, by Congress of a bill for the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton constitution, Gov. Rob : inson be requested to correspond with the Governors of States friendly to the “people’s” government, soliciting aid in case it shall be necessary to resist such an encroachment. The election in Atchison county, on the Bth, to fill a vacancy in the Council occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Carr, resulted in the choice of Chailiss, (democrat) over Wheeler (free soil) l>v 250 majority. 9 Appointments in the Army and A'avy. j 1 In a late speech in the Senate, Gen.) I Houston, of Texas, boldly affirmed that! i appointments to the United States Mili , tary and Naval Academies, are now made with reference to political patron ■ age, and not to the merit of the appli cant. “No matter,” said the speaker, “ how promising a youth may be, if he has no patronage with which to recip rocate patronage, he is neglected and overlooked. The members of Congress, in selecting individuals from their dis tricts for these academies, arc guided ] hy an eye to policy. ‘Who among these candidates will bring me the greatest j support in .my district ?” is the ques | Hon. No matter how stupid a boy j may be if he has influence to back hisj i application, he is selected by a member ami sent to West Point Academy, where 11 j he is nursed, and cherished, and foster-1 ■ |ed till he graduates.” These are grave! , Charges, and, if true, it would be better to return to the old plan of making ap- 11 | pomtments without special regard to 1 ' jHm recommendations of members of 1 Congress. i c J At Chicago, the first breach of prom lse of marriage, case of Louisa Jlocv vs. i George Letz, has resulted in a verdict of cm,ooo damages.

He said: There are men in this community [ who, through the force of the educa tion they have received from their pa j rents and friends, would cheat a poor ! widow out of her last cow, and | then go down upon their knees and thank God for the good fortune he had 6ent them, and for his kind providences that enabled them to obtain a cow with out becoming amenable to any law of the land, though the poor widow had been actually cheated. Dr. Kimball told the truth, this morning, with regard to many of our mechanics. I have not built a house since Ihave been in this place but what 1 havefurnished many more poundsof nails j than I would have to for the same piece !of work in the States. I knew that some of the workmen here took them, I and I told them so. To me, taking and keeping, another’s property is stealing ; but to many, they consider it a godsend to have another’s nails to carry home in their’pockets. I am willing to pay men for what they do. I am anxious that all should have that which belongs to them, and - wish them to let that which belongs to . me alone. If I furnish nails to build a house, the workmen have no right to ’ carry them off. When using nails, the , ■ mechanic often has more or less in his • pocket; at quitting time he forgets to | take them out, and carries them home. He goes out to chop a little wood, and says, “Dear me, these nails,” —some twenty or thirty, and perhaps more— “are quite a burthen to me,” and he 1 puts them out ot his way. By and by lie wants to build a pig-pen, or to build a little addition to his house, and feels i quite thankful that he has the nails to i do it with, and will praise the name of , the Lord, for the manner in which he . lias blessed him. j Congressional Proceedings. Washington, reb. 18. —Senate. —Mr. ( Green, from the Committee on Terri tories, reported a bill for the admission 1 of Kansas, submitting a long report, 1 which was not read. Messrs. Douglas ' 13 and C'ollamcr, from the same commit t tee, presented adverse reports. Mr. Green gave irotice that lie would call up the subject at an early day. The army 1 bill being up for consideration, the 4th , section of the original bill was stricken I out. Mr. Wilson moved as an amend ment, that the proposed reduction at the end of the two years shall not ope rate on any officer in commission at the date of this act, which was adopted.— . Mr. Iverson opposed the substitution of volunteers for regulars, but no action was taken on the subject. Horse.—After hearing personal ex planations from Messrs. Davis and Bowie, of Md., the House went into Committee of the Whole on the Indian approprition bill. Mr. Shorter made a speech on the Kansas question,in which he said that all the Southern States were now limited on the Georgia plat form, which pledged its resistance even to a dissolution of the Union, on the re fusal of Congress to admit Kansas lie cause of the existence of slavery there. He said he cared not whether this was a constitutional or revolutionary right, the South were prepared to defend it.— He referred to Mr. Douglas, who, he said, had fled at the first fire of a gun, - and, like Parthian, threw poisoned ar- : rows behind him. lie contended that it was never intended that Kansas should be a slave State ; five Governors all free soilers, had been sent there.— The referring of the question back to the people would inevitably invite civil wag, as the South would not consent to remain in the Union on an inequality with the North. He would rather be the vassal of Old than New England.— The word compromise was offensive to him ; he would make it a penal offence for Southerners to use it; it was sugges tive of surrender and, base submission, and sounded like the bugle blast of a robber hand. Mr. Zollicoffer defended the American party against certain re marks contained in the speech of Mr. Hatch, made yesterday. In making these remarks he said that Hatch had uttered the falsehood with which he now branded him. Hatch was not pres ent. Mr. Tompkins opposed the Le compton Constitution, and Mr. Clemens argued its legality. No action was had I on the subject. Washington, Feb. 19.--Senate.— The morning was devoted to the considera tion of bills oil the private calender. The further consideration of the Ar- i my bill was postponed till Tuesday. f House.— Several members made per- 1 soual explantions.in the course of which Mr. Hoard, of New York, charged Mr. I Bums, of Ohio, with being influ-1 enced in his vote by the Executive.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR- IjTAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric, fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which was a load ami a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolorcux pr ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy v or experiencing any other pain or disability arisingfrom the unnatural condition • Qf the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it arc unanimous in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the hands of medical men. Morse's Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. While it renews the strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire for the solid material which is to be subjected to their action... As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmocopia. If long file and tlio vigor necessary to its en joyment arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious wortli Its beneficial effects are not confined to cither sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business,* the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general de bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediateand permanent relh f from the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard against that terrible malady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the roach of medicine. Let not even those despair. The F.lixir deals with disease as it exists, without re ference to the causes, and will not only remove the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution .

Professor Wood’s HAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the leading minds over the Union do not falsify, is the only safe remedy for baldness, dryness, premature change of color, and the several evidences of a lack of secretions at the roots of the hair, which can be found. Quack preparations abound, and •hair tonics’ fill every ‘corner grocery’ in the country. Avoid all ‘hair tonics’ unless known * to be the preparation of some man whoso cele i | brity lias become world-wide. Do not let any ! nostrum vender experiment upon your hair.. Touch nothing you have not good reason to be lievc is all that it purports ta be. Prof. Wood has earned by years of severe test of the virtues of his preparation, his present fame. Over 150 certificates are before us of the value of this , hair restorative, from all parties who have tried ■ it. Use no other.
