AUGUSTA. GA:
lui wla.v Evening, Feb. 33, 1858.
Errata.
In the haste of going to press on yes-1
terday a number ot mistakes escaped ;
notice. The address in response to Miss !
Blount was t>y Lieutenant J. C. Sneed,
instead of Colonel G. A. Sneed. The
Stott vs. O’Kelly, instead of O'Kelly vs.
the State, in another place—and in
Blitz advertisement children and ser
vants fifteen cents, instead of twenty
five ; and others, which the reader will
detect.
Verdict 111 the Cane of O’Kelly.
By a letter from the Solicitor, S. P.
Thurmond, Esq., we learn that the ver
dict of the Jury, in the case of The
Slait vs. Thomas O'Kelly, indicted for
murder, was— "lnvoluntary Manslaugh
ter in the commission of an unlawful
act.’’
The highest penalty for that grade of
trime is three years imprisonment—and
thus this monster escapes, by the ver
dict of a petit jury, with about the same
punishment usually assigned to one
convicted of robbing a hen roost.
Emigrants for Nicaragua.—H. M.
lieu, of Greensboro, Ala., announces
in the Gainsville Independent, his in
tention to “ emigrate ” to Nicaragua,
and calls for fifty able bodied men to
accompany him.
Planter’s Convention,
We learn from the Telegraph, that a ,
Convention of Planters was held in i
Macon last Tuesday, Gen. B. H. Rutiier- 1
ford in the Chair, and Gen. James \V. (
Armstrong, Secretary. A Constitution l
was adopted and a general convention '
of the Planters of Georgia appointed to ,
meet in that city the second Tuesday in 1
June next, of which papers were reques- 1
ted to extend notice.
Found Dead. 1
The Wilkes Republican says that Mr. 1
Wilkes Welborn, a citizen of that coun- '
tv, who came to Augusta last week to! ,
sell his cotton, was on Saturday mo, n- ]
ing last found dead on the Augusta '
road, about 18 miles from his residence. '
His horse and ouggy was found that
day at the deceased stable, with his hat .
and other articles which he had purchas
ed in Augusta in the buggy. We are
not informed of the manner of his
death, but it is supposed that he was
frozen to death as the night was very
wet and cold.
Shlp-Ital»tiig at Sebastopol.
Miraculous Escapt of a Diver. —A cor
respondent writing from Sebastopol un
der date of Nov. 5, says :
We had a terrible excitement on
hoard one day last week. One of the
divers i Harris, the English marine spo
ken of before), a first-rate fellow, and
bold as a lion, goes down examining the
outside of the ship on which they are at I
work. He had been forward and was
going aft, along the bottom, in sixty!
feet of water,when he suddenly signaled
for more air, and though the pressure
was inßtantlv increased, two more sig
nals for ‘ air,’ and *to come up,’ follow
ed in rapid succession, and then ceased
all reply to signals given. Thinking
the fault was iu the air-pump, the speed
was increased until a pipe bursting near
the engine showed that the hose was
foul. Then shouted to the other party
in a row boat at a little distance, to
eome to the rescue. That diver was
brought up by his tenders,and they com
menced rowing for the steamer. Mean
while, poor Harris made no more re
sponse to the anxious signaling of his
tenders, and they tried in vain to haul
him up—the ‘ life-line’ was also foul.—
The pump was kept slowly in motion,
but no bubbles came up from the water,
and we knew that no air was reaching
him. The row-boat was coming as fast
as possible, hut I thought it never
would arrive, At last they came along
side. The diver’s helmet was closed,
strong hands worked rapidly and silent
ly, and in an instant ho was lowered
out of sight, the hose of his suffocating
companion in his hand ; there was an
interval of two or three minutes of fear
ful suspense, in which no woid was spo
ken by any of the score of men gather
ed there, save one whisper—‘ It must be
too late.” Suddenly a second column
of rising air-bubbles appeared. ‘The
hose is cleared —he has air,” several
voices spoke eagerly. Then followed
the signal for vising, and up they came
—poor Harris all stark and motionless.
‘Stop the pump he is dead,' said one
unscrewing the eye-glass through which
he saw the ghastly countenance and
frothy Ups. But the cold air striking
his livid face the eye lids half opened
and closed again. ‘Ho is alive !’ they
ail cried joyfully, and removing the Un
sightly helmet and dashing water on
his head rind breast, he presently began
to breathe perceptibly, and after an
hour's diligent nibbing from as many
strong and willing hands as could get
around him, he began to come to con
sciousness. He suffered great pain for
hours in the head and breast, but is
now altogether recovered, and diving
as usual.

A first rate joke took place quite
lately, in our Court Room. A woman
was testifying in behalf of her son, and
swore that “ that lie had worked on a
farm ever since he was born.”
The lawyer, who cross-examined her
said “ You assert that your son has
worked on a farm ever since he was
born ?"
I do.”
“ What did ho do the first year !”
“ He milked.”
The lawyer evaporated.— Hartford'

TRIAL OF
THOS. O’KELLY,
FOR THE
MURDER OF HIS WIFE,
IN WALTON COUNTY, GA.
| The State ) Murder,
. | . I'.t. [ IN
1 Thomas O'Kelly. ) Walton Supe’r Court.
Testimony on the part of the State:
JAS. I’. WILKINSON, SWORN,
Testifies tliftt he was at the house of
i the defendant, in Walton county, some
ten or twelve years ago, a short time
after defendant’s removal to said coun
ty. Witness saw a cart standing in the
yard, with a box in it: heard some per
son talking in the box; said box was in
side the cart body; the person in the
box was making a noise. The day was
cloudy and cold— sleeting and snowing ;
tliero was no covering over the cart.—
Heard someliody at other times when
passing the house. The box in which
she was confined was in the lot. Wit
ness does not know how long she re
mained in the box.
Cross-Examined.- —Witness does not
know at what time defendant moved to
his house; don’t know the length of
the box in the cart-body; don't know
what bedding was inside the box; nev
er heard defendant's wife in the end
room of the dwelling house ; don’t know
who it was making a noise in the box ;
the box might have been high enough
for a person to sit upright in ; was not
high enough to stand upright in.
JOSEPH MOON, SWORN.
Deposes that defendant moved to
Walton county in the year 1846; de
fendant bought the land of witness;
defendant brought his wife to the coun
ty In a box, on a cart. The box was
not long enough for a person to lie
down at full length ; was not high en
ough to stand upright in ; was about
two and a half to three feet wide.—
Witness remained at defendant’s house '
three or four days after the arrival of
defendant's family. It was about 10 1
o’clock at night when the defendant ar- 1
rived; the weather was rainy, inclined
to freeze and sleeting. When the weath
er moderated and the sun shone again, '
defendant s wife hung out on the top of
the box her clothing and bedding to '
dry—consisting of a sheep-skin and an 1
old rug; these articles appeared to be 1
wet. There was only one hole in the 1
box, about 4by 12 inches. On one oc- '
casion she knocked oil a plank in at- 1
tempting to get out of the box. Wit- ;
ness does not know how she attended to
the calls of nature. The odour of the 1
box was unpleasant. Defendant next
built a pen composed of split logs, about
six feet wide and eight feet long, and \
placed his wife therein. There was a s
dear or bole long enough to admit a s
person, which remained closed; there a
was also a hole about 4by 12 inches, to s
convey food to the occupant. She re- 1
mained iu the pen until her death in )
1856. Defendant moved the pen fur- 1
ther from his house, in the neighbor- i
bood of the horse-lot. The neighbors i
frequentlty talked witli defendant's i
wife; think 6he was at times rational -
and intelligent. The clothes of defen- i
dant’s wife were made of a coverlid; i
witness never saw any other bed-cloth- i
ing. Saw one of defendant's negroes
carry food to bis wife in a tin pan on
one occasion ; the pan looked to be un
clean and filthy. Defendant is a man
of considerable property, owning 10 or
12 negroes, and several hundred acres
of land. In 1850 thinks defendant’s
property was worth 812,000 or $15,000.
These facts occurred in Walton county ;
defendant’s wife died in this county, in
1850.
Cross Examined.— Witness thinks the box
high enough for a person to sit upright.
The only hole was in the sido of the box,s
. I or 6 inches from the top,large enough to
’ I convey in a cup of water anil provisions.
' I Defendents wife was sometimes profane
1 and vulgar ; was a lunatic—never saw
e her violent except when the negro car
ried her the filthy cup. Witness re
. mained at the house but little when
r about to remove. The first house de
| fendent built for his wife was covered
with boards, the logs were notched
1 down; neighbors were permitted to
a calk with her when they requested the
1 privilege. Witness thinks it would be
’ necessary to have confined her while
moving ; hut at any time when witness
saw her he would not have been afraid
to turn her loose; thinks it would have
’ been necessary to watch over her when
in her worst spells. Defendants prop
_ erty at the time of his removal consisted
in a negro woman and children ; he
’ bought witnesses land mostly for cash ;
land was sold for S7OO. Defendant
had four children,none of them grown.
Oldest son was about 18 years old ; the
youngest girl about 11 years old; Frank
abort 13 or 14 years old. Witness don’t
know what clothes defendant’s wife had
on under the loose wrapper. She look
ed in tolerable health, for one in her
condition; has had little intercourse
for 9 or 10 years past with defendeuts
family. Witness has never been to the
second pen. Don’t know that the
clothes he saw hanging on the box or
cart wheel came out of the box. De
fendant's plunder was wet, from travel
ling in the rain ; witness was about 10
steps distant from the negro carrying
the tin pan; don’t know what was in it,
did not see anything else hanging on
the cart or box than those mentioned.
Witness thinks defendant could have
safely brought his wife to this county
in a carriage, and thinks there would
have have been no difficulty in keeping
his wife in a room in his dwelling house
by placing her in charge of a watchful
servant. In her paroxysms it would
! have required a man to control. Her
j language was generally proper in pres-
I ence of females ; never heard her use
| vulgar language, though at times she
! was profane.
MARTHA MOON SWORN.
Deposes that she knows defendant
and his wife ; they came to this county
in 1846 ; she was brought to the coun
ty a box on a cart, about 10 o’clock on
Monday night in December. Witness
j remained at the house until Friday
morning after ; she was in the box
(when witness left; thinks the box was
l neither long enough to lie down in at
J full length,nor high enough to stand up
I in, unless standing in a sitting posture.
! It had an opening 4 or 5 inches wide,
| and long enough to receive a plate or
i large tin cup ; sire was confined in the
box all the time witness was at the
place. The box was 40 or 50 steps from
the house, and outside enclosure ; wit
ness saw but one garment, made out of
a coverlid ; there was no bed clothing;
her feet, head, and neck were bare ex
cept at times she had a piece of blanket
on her head. The weather was rainy
and sleeting : when it moderated she
hung cut an old sheep-skin and coffee
sack in the sun on a cart wheel, to dry.
The articles were wet -no covering was
over the box. She was not taken out for
any purpose—no attention at all was
given to cleaning the box while she re
mained, in it. The box smelled offen
sively ; she desired to be out of the box;
, witness told lier defendant had bought
witnesses house, and slie would go into
it.
She replied —“ no, she would not he
suffered to go into the house.” On the
first morning of their arrival a negro
carried her provisions in a plate ; negro
told her to hold out a cup to receive
them. She refused—and wanted the
plate, saying she would not eat out of
iiis lingers. Negro then told her if she
would not take the food from his fin
gers, he would give to the negro chil
dren, and he did so. She was kept iu
the box until witness left ; was then
put in the box pen described by Joseph
Moon. Witness saw her in August fol
lowing—talked with her—she knew
witness, and desired to get out of the
pen. Most of her conversation was ra
tional, though occasionally irrational,
Thinks if properly cared for, and taken
out of the pen she might have been re
stored to her mind. Saw no clothing
on her on that occasion. The only
opening was 4 inches wide and 6 or 8
inches long ; the other was closed. The
pen was extremely offensive and filthy ;
there was no provision made for calls of
nature that witness saw ; there was vis
ible no stool or chair to sit on ; saw no
insects swarming around the place.
Cross examined. —The cart and box re
mained iu the edge of the woods ; the
smoke house was not between the kitch
en and dwelling house; the pen was
between the smoke-house and kitchen.
During the witness’ stay, defendant's
wife asked her to bring her victuals and
she sent food to her. At times she was
profane—at times Jwas vulgar in her
language. The transitions from reason
to insanity were at times sudden, saw
her feet naked, thrust out at the hole.
She needed care and watching, and
guarding to some extent. Think she
could not stand upright in the box in
which she was brought to the county
she stood up in the house looking out of
a crack or hole; never saw her foot
through a hole in the bottom ; the hole
in the box appeared to be above the
wheel; is certain that they reached the
house on Monday night. Witness and
her husband have since talked over the
facts. She knocked a plank loose from
the box with a frying pan, defendant
nailed it up ; has talked with her hus- j
band within ten days past; has no prej
udice against defendant; gave his wife
a cape to cover her naked shoulders.—
The house might he more comfortable
than the box, from being larger.
RICHARD EASLEY—SWORN.
Was acquainted with defendant’s ,
wife about 11 years ago. When he first
saw her, she was in a log pen, and only
saw her face which seemed unwashed,
and her hair uncombed. She was next
seen in the house she died in, near the 1
horse lot; which was a small hewn log ]
house, about 5 feet high, and 8 feet by
10 in’ diameter. There was but one
door, which was small, as described by-
Mrs. Moon. Witness once saw the pan
in the hole through which she was fed,
with a portion of human excrement in
it; it also appeared greasy, and had in
i t pieces of bread crust. Witness saw it
again the same evening in the same
condition ; it had been emptied, but
was unwashed; fresh grease, and fresh
bread crust were in it as though she had
been fed again from it. Witness saw
her again in the summer, in the yard ;
she had on a dress with no sleeves and
that came down to her knees. The log
cabin smelled move offensive than at
any time the witness had ever seen it
Green flies were buzzing around the
pen, alighting on it. Was at Mr. Eng
land’s on the slay of her death. The
timber used in putting up a house on
that day was frozen, the ground was al
so much frozen. Defendant sent foi
one of his negroes to go home—sent for
i nobody else —nobody else went from
that place. Defendant came to witnes
ses house after February, court, 1856,
■ and requested a private conversation —
i walked together to a* school-house near
- —defendant inquirred whether a true
I bill had been found by the
I Grand Jury. Witness told him of rumor
, to that effect. Defendant said he sup
; posed there was a bill against him for
; suffering his wife to freeze to death ;
• that it was probably true, for she was
; naked or as good as naked ; tiiat she
I had tied some rags on her body ; that
- the rags in the house were wet; that
i the nature of snow was to beat in through
■ the logs, and it was difficult ro keep it
l out; that he would not mind serving a
! term in the penetentiary if it would
; satisfy the people, but ior the reproach
: to his children.
Cross examined. —The first house he saw
! her iu was rather open, the last house
. was close and compact, was built .South
: of a large shuck-house close to itj the
i shuck-liouse entirely covers the North
- end of the cabin pen ; a large oak tree
: stands in the yard near the last house,
; to the West—the crib stands west of the
i pen at a little distance from it. South
s side was exposed; the pan was on a plank
j in the hole through which she was fed.
i* The door in the East end. Defendant’s
- wife’s face seemed pale and swarthy—
- not specially unhealthy in appearance.
) About the summer previous to her death
: saw her in the yard—did not speak to
, her; she bowed to witness. Defendant
l did not say anything about taking care
. of, or protecting her, in the conversa
-3 tion. The weather was very severe,
and there was no time during the spell
i that the weather moderated.

r Make a number of cotton bags, a lit

e hams are well smoked, place them ill
e the bags; then get the very best kind
of sweet, well-made hay, cut it with a
knife, and with your hands press it well
t around the hams in the bag ; tie the
Y bags witli good strings put on a card of
- the year to show their ago, and then
i hang them up in the garret or some dry
s room, and they will hang five years,
f and will be better for boiling than on
r the day you hang them up. This meth
s od costs but little, as the bags will last
t for years. No flies uor bugs will troub
j le the hams if the hay is well pressed
. around them ; the sweating of the hams
, will be taken up by the bay, and the

flTThe Great Problem
: Solved r-DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting rood into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
: course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
, Quid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the ,
1 wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength aud health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the '
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- J
rors. wakened by periodical fits, threatened with 1
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that j
terrible lassitude which proceeds from aluck of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain j
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo- i
tion and thought-—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous c
organizition.
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. a
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im- y
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive .j
powers itcreatcs a desire for the solid material j
which is to be subjected to their action. As an x
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopin. t
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en- t
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of ]
precious worth i
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the a.ling
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres-

JIT Hair Dye is Vile Wash,
but the article that will naturally restore the
color of the hair, the changing of which to gray
being an indication of alack of proper secretions,
is truly a valuable medicine. Professor Wood’s
HAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the leading
minds over the Union do not falsify, it the only
safe remedy lor 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 i reparations abound, ami
‘liair tonics’ fill every ‘corner grocery’ in the :
country. Avoid all ‘hair tonics’ unless known 1
to be the preparation of some man whose cele
brity has become world-wide. Do not let any
nostrum vender experiment upon your hair.
Touch nothing you have not good reason to be
Hove is all that it purports to be. Prof. Wood
has earned by years of severe test of the virtues .
of his preparation, his present fame. Oyer 150
certiiicatcs are before us of the value of this ]
hair restorative, from all parties who have tried,
it. Use no other.
Caution.—Beware of worthless imitations as
several arc already in the market called by dit- ;
ferent names. Use none unless the words Prof.
Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St. Louis, Mo.,
and New York, are blown in the bottle.
