(tftoira® J)tspatc|. 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' Courant. At Lowell, on Saturday evening, P. j .f. Buckley finished the job of walking 105 consecutive hours, with an inter mission of ten minutes in every twelve hours. He won 8500 by the pteforw ance. 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. ; [continued to-morrow.] 3 • 1 To preserve Ham tlirouglx the Sum ] mt-r. r Make a number of cotton bags, a lit - tie larger than your ham ; after the 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.

T 22-3 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- sion, the individual suffering from general de bility or from the weakness of a single organ t will all find immediate and permanent rel! 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 reach i of medicine. Let not even those despair. The i Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- * r lerence to the causes, aud will not only remove ' the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion. giddine33, rush c of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil- 1. ity, hyeteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de- i s ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys- 1 pepsia. general prostration, irritability, nervous- r ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe- s males, decay of the propagating functions, hys c teria. monomauia, vague terrors, palpitation of 1 the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from < whatever cau-e arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute- < lv infallible.

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.
