"^^AUGUSTaTgA: Wednesday Evening, Feb. 84, 1858. better from China. •We are kindly allowed to copy some portions of an interesting letter fromChi m&, written to a gentleman of this city, by a young officer of the U. S. Navy, a native and long time resident of Au gusta. p. S. Steam Frio ate Minnf-sota, 1 Off Hong Kong. Monday, Dec. 14th, 1857. ) Piab E. :— We have been here doing aothing, but firing salutes to big bugs, for five weeks. Hong Kong is an island belonging to England, though the population is en tirely Chinese, that is, there are 7,300 •f them to about 300 Europeans. Our present duty is to remain here, while the English fleet is bombarding Canton, to keep these Chinese from rising and Murdering the Europeans—they are al readybeginning to show signs of a re volt, and if that takes place, we will have pretty hot work, for we cannot Muster more than 1,000 men in the squadron, and 73, against one, is most too much. Mr. Reed is now on board, m far he has accomplished nothing. The pteam frigate, San Jacinto, and the Moop-of-war, Portsmouth, are here with is. The steam frigate Mississippi and Powhatan and the sloop-of-war Ger mantown and Jamestown are all to be here within a few months. What this large force is t# do out here no one knows. The Government must surely anticipate some trouble with the Celes tials. We drill our men every day in Infantry tactics. Our ship's boats are j ready to be armed and manned at a moments notice. I am in command of a dashing little cutter carrying nine teen men and a 12 pound brass howit ser. When the English return from Canton, which place they are now bom barding, I intend to get leave of ab sence and go up; it is only about 40 , miles up the river. If the Chinese here, remain quiet, we ' will leave for Macoa about the lOtli of , January, and between these two places we will spend what the people here call Winter—the thermometer here stand ing 75 degrees, and every body wearing white pants and straw hats. On ac rount of the dysentery, which is very prevalent and fatal here in summer, we will leave for Japan about the last of May, there we will spend the summer, and then, if Mr. Reed has finished his business, we leave for home, byway of California, Chili, Patagonia and Brazil, thus making a cruise around the world. However, if Mr. Reed is not ready to go home then, we will return to this place next October, and remain here till he is ready. After leaving Norfolk we had a rough «ruise of 68 days to the Capo of Good Hope; we went into Capetown on the Bth of September, and getting in coal, water and provisions we left on the 21st for the Island of Java, which we reach ed after a run of 26 days—the object of stopping here was to get coal from a ship the Navy Department had sent out for us. We found her safely anchored in Mew Bay, on the Southern side of the Island. We ran close in along shore »nd dropped anchor —the sight of a large steam frigate brought a troop of chattering monkeys down on the beach, while the screeching of the parrots showed that not even they had seen the like before—the country was wild and uninhabited, except by tigers, wild cat tle and other animals. We were so near the shore that we could here the tigers every night. Our men went on shore and nine of them strayed too far into the woods and were killed by the tigers. I frequently went a considera ble distance into the jungles with one or two of my mess-mates, but we always had to keep our revolvers cocked to keep from being surprised. You could go ashore with your gun and kill as many mokeys, parrots and wild pea cocks as you could carry. Pineapples and bananas grew wild and could be found in abundance not a hundred yards from the shore. One morning I killed a remarkably fat young monkey and had him stewed for breakfast, and 1 can assure you, it was delicious. We stayed nearly a week in Mew Bay and went up to Angier, a Dutch and Malay settlement, about fifty miles from the North, and half an hour after we dropped anchor, the ship was filled with monkeys and birds. A couple of monkeys and a large cage of Java birds could be bought for 50 cents. On the passage from Angier to this place we came very near being wrecked, I never was in a more terrible storm in my life. I have just heard that one of the of ficers of the San Jacinto has died of dysentary and we have to turn out in full dress for the funeral. C. J. G. P. S.—A courier has just arrived from Canton stating that the City is in flames, the Chinese having set it on fire and left. If you would have an idea of the ocean in a storm just imagine ten thousand hills and four thousand mountains all drunk, chaising one another over new ly-ploughed ground, with lots of caverns in it for them to 3tep into now and thee. TRIAL OF THOS- O’KELLY, FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE, IN WALTON COUNTY, GA. Reported Expressly for the Avgusta Dispatch. Tiib Statb ) Mvrdkb, vs. r w Thomas o’Kkllt. ) Walton Supe’rCourt. [Continued.] THOMAS H. SWOBDS —SWORN. Witness is acquainted with defend ant ; was in his house once in Jan. 1856, on Wednesday morning—the weather was cold—it had been snowing, and sleet had fallen on the snow. Witness ; passed the house twice. In approach ing, defendant at the same time walk ing in front of witness. Defendant forced a cough—witness heard calls from the log cabin ; defendant paid no attention to the calls ; the cabin was situated 40 or 50 steps from the dwel ling ; defendant asked witness to go in and warm, and afterwards go out at the gate and take the public road. Wit ness refused, because it was nearest to go through by the spring. Defendant insisted twice on his taking the other direction. Witness then left the house, and just before he reached the cabin feigned a cough himself. Defendant’s wife began to call for Francis ; witness turned to the cabin and asked her what she wanted ; did not go up to the cab in. This was Wednesday morning af ter the third Saturday in January ; the ground was frozen. Cross-Examined. —Defendant's wife said nothing until witness coughed ; witness went by thospring hieause it was near er. Thinks it was Wednesday morning because he was at his brother's on Tues day night, and went to defendant’s house to transact business, remained about 10 minutes. Heard of defendant’s wife’s death on the next day at witness es own shop, ELDRIDGB HARRIS—SWORN. Had been acquainted with defendant’s wife 11 or 12 years. First saw her in a house at the end of the smoke-house ; saw her again in a house near tho horse lot ; saw her two or three times in the year of defendant’s removal to the place, saw her last about two years ago, in the second cabin ; the witness cor roborates other witnesses as to the size and condition of tho cabin. About the Ist or 2d year after his removing to that place, witness heard Mr. Denver ask whose wife it was in the cabin. De fendant replied she was the wife of nobody. He replied “you are a I liar”—and added in substance that the defendant’s conduct had caused her pres ent condition. A short time after her i death, had a conversation with the de-ji fendant. He said she was taken out of j i the cabin without clothing, after she! 1 was dead 1 | ■ Cross Examined. —Defendant did not, say he had furnished her clothing, and that she had torn it off; lie said it was re- i ported that the woman had frozen to death —that he wished the devil had all who said it; that she had phthisic, oc casioned by cold ; that he supposed the phlegm remained on the lungs until it was thrown off by nature or medicine j and that she had no mind ; that there had been colder weather the winter previous, because his pond had been fro zen over at other times, but was open when she died. Witness replied, that if i the devil got all who said his wife was , fre .eu to death he would get the neigh [ borhood, and that his theory about 1 phthisic was correct, but that as his wife was insane people looked to him to take care of her. Witness is a physi cian-thinks that insane persons in ■ many cases are apt to regard their • friends as their worst enemies, and the moral and religious to become profane ' and vulgar. Defendant’s wife was in -1 sane—changes from sanity to insanity - were some times sudden —neversaw her , frantic —she would talk very fast, and exhaust herself; never heard her swear. u Her last cabin was compactly put to t gether, of split or hewn logs, and was j tight ; the horse lot fence was between the cabin and the shuck-house. It was j c usual to confine insane persons when | e violent, hut he regarded it inhumane; a to confine this woman in that cabin. If comfortably furnished inside as lie “ could have fixed it, witness thinks it i, would have been more humane to keep s her there than to handcuff her. She could not have remained in that cabin with- 1 e out taking cold ; staying in that house | 3 would have engendered disease, such as I - is apt to effect the lungs. It would s not be possible to make a human being comfortable in the condition of the first 3 house. Lunatics are sometimes restor i cd to reason : physicians rely more on treatment than medicine ; it is unfa vorable to the restoration of a lunatic, ; to confine her in a small filthy cabin ; - and thinks it impossible to restore one , to sanity, kept in the condition of de fendant’s wife ; thinks from what de s fendant said after death that she had > no comforts inside the cabin. Thinks a ] human being could not remain in such a cabin during the month of Jan. 1856, 5 naked, without freezing to death. Du ■ ring cold weather lunatics are not as ; susceptible to cold as persons in health; and hence the length of time she endur -5 ed the cold. His opinion that she froze 1 to death was predicated on her being I naked and without comforts. It is ne cessary in eases of lunacy which witness ' has observed, to give the subjects air 3 and exercise, and not to confine them in tho dark. Freezing of a human hq ing never occurs without insensibility ; y cannotiay whether asleep or awake. In d lunatic asylums the inmates are kept 3 warm by pipes, clothing, &c., and if her clothing became wet, as testified by r witnesses, it was his opinion as a jphysi- I cian that it could afford no protection, f LUCRETIA MEEDAM—SWORN. s Was acquainted with Mrs. O’Kelly, ever since the family came to the coun ty, saw her frequently, five or six years s ago, and occasionally since that time. , Had requested to be allowed to see her j sometimes out of the cabin ; negro boy came for witness, and when arrived at the house saw defendant's wife sitting - in the piazza, with a board by her side, f to prevent them from taking her back. The windows and doors of the house 1 were closed. Witness went to the cab in ; it was unclean; and had a sicken -1 ing, bad smell. She did not stay there long. Human excrement was on the floor; and there was no arrangement e for her to answer the calls cf nature. — The place smelled vciy bad wheuever witness saw it. A calico dress and a blanket shawl, or cape, over her should r ers, was her dress when at the house ; 1 She was naked as far down as witness 1 could see, in cold weather or hot, when - she saw her at the cabin. Food was giv s en to her in an old filthy looking frying 1 pan, with no handle. Witness was not | very close to the pan. Her mind was |at times wandering; she would call | Mr. O'Kelly, but not by his proper Jname. Witness saw the bed-clothes I taken out of the cabin; they looked j dirty and foul, as if worked around trace chains. When witness saw her : in the piazza she was quiet and peaeable. i Witness had her own children with her and had no apprehension of violence.— Defendant came to the house of witness on Tuesday after his wife's burial on Friday evening, and in reply to a ques , tion said he took out of the cabin where his wife died, a tub full of rags; the largest of which was not as long as his walking-stick ; and told Vine, his negro woman, to wash them, and sow them together, for the cradles of the little negro children ; that he took out two I hamper baskets full. Witness stated i that had she been in his place, she would have buried or burned them: ar.d he replied that they were so wet “ it would have taken any log-heap in the i county to have burned them up.” De i fendant had asked witness S9OO for i some land. Afte* this conversation, de fendant came to the house of witness, and looking straight at witness said.— “It will he mighty hot weather when you have to go to court.” Witness an > swered, that she would not have to go to court—had no business there. De fendant then said he wanted her to go to court to be a witness for him against the other women ; and to let her boys work, and make nil they could—for Ragan would take his hand on the oth er side of the creek, and he wanted her to take that part next her, and how he wanted the line to run, and asked her S4OO for it. This was the same piece of land he had offered her for S9OO, before the death of his wife. The female in mates of defendant’s family were his daughter and Martha O'Kelly, the daughter of Charles O’Kelly, cousin of the defendant. She remained in the family 3 or 4 years,previous to the death of Mrs. O’Kclly, and up to the time of her death. She was unmarried, and had two children while in defendant’s family. After his wife’s death defend ant talked to witness of how people talked about the death, shroud, and burial of his wife; and how much the same cost, and said just at the time when he thought he would begin to see pleasure, there came fresh trouble. Crass examined —Defendant frequently sent for witness to go to his house, not to see his wife, but his daughter and family. Thinks there was lio under clotheson his wife ; /Ikin't examine to see whether she had on under-garments;: —When she talked profanely and vul-j garly Martha Johnson was troubling her. Martha Johnson is a neiee of de- ' I fendant. Witness offered to cut his wife’sjhair at defendant’s request. She , refushed permisson, saying it had been cut off once, and she would never suffer the same agairff. Defendant did not in- 1 timate what lie wanted her to testify— he had no reason to think that she • would testify falsely. EI.IZA WOODRUFF—SWORN. Witness saw defendant's wife tin summer previous to her death, in the 1 cabin by the horse lot. Corroborates I other witnesses as to the condition of i the cabin. Saw her|liead, arms, and shoulders, which appeared to be filthy. Saw her after death —she died in Jan., i 1856, in this county—helped to put the | shroud on the body, the day after death. The arms, hands and body were dark and pided, witli the appearance of being frost bitten. Her ears, nose, and one eye, were dark also—her feet in the same condition ; the body was not very clean ; the shape of the body was as fol lows : her knees were drawn up, the arms so drawn as to throw the hands up toward the shoulders, so that they could not he crossed—gloves could not he placed entirely on the hands ; the head was thrown back, so as to project tho chin; her body was crooked, lying one-sided. The body looked poor ; the eyes shrunken ; saw the body in defend ant’s bouse. This was on Friday. The weather was cold ; there was snow and I ice on the ground. Cross examined. —Her eyes were open ; ■ mouth drawn in slightly to one side ; i teeth closed ; lips very dark ; looked to i be frost-bitten, as well as the rest of the > j body. It was about 10 or 11 o’clock on I I Friday when witness saw the body; ' ] don’t think she died quietly as though | she went out of life sleeping. Had not •j been dead long enough for the limbs to ; | have stiffened. Witness never before i' saw anybody who bad been frozen to Ij death ; saw the arm of a person once ■ i which was frost-bitten. NANCY BREWSTER —SWORN, i j Was not acquinted with Mrs. O’Kelly ; saw her once previous to her death, in the house near the horse-lot. Saw her body after it had been laid out. The face aud neck looked very dark ; saw her the day on which she was buried : did not assist in shrouding the body. ELIZABETH SMITH —SWORN. Saw Mrs. O’Kelly twice—went to see her a year or so before her death ; went to Church, and called by; saw her in the little pen or house, by the side of an other house; in summer, in warm weather, could see her face ; couldn’t see her clothing very well; something covered her shoulders; do not know as to the cleanliness of the house ; had uot a very comfortable smell. One or two years before her death, went anoth er time with another lady ; and talked with her after the first visit—don’t know if it was the same year, or wheth er it was winter or summer; cabin look ed much the same as before. Saw her after death, when laid out; she was laid out in a large room in the house ; witness corroborated the description of her color and general appearance, given by other witnesses. [CONTINUED FRIDAY.] A gentleman offered a horse, six ■ months ago, to a friend for S3OO. “I’ll . buy him,” said the friend, “ with these conditions. I shall pay you two hun dred cash, and owe you the rest.” The [ offer was accepted, bqt tight times com . ing on, the seller called upou the pur ’ chaser for the odd hundred. “ I sha’nt 1 pay you,” said he, “ for it would be a ’ violation of contract. I agreed to pay j two hundred cash and owe you one hun , died aud if I paid that the bargan would ’ be broken.” Three Prisoners Shot* i On Thursday evening,at 5 1-2 o’clock - while the convicts in the State Prison ■ at Sing Sing, N. Y., were filing into the ; room for supper, five of them made a i rush for the river, which is frozen over, t thinking to escape on the ice. They were pursued and fired upon by the - guards, and all brought back, when i three were found to be wounded ; John - Spence, the well-known companion and pal of Mable Hodges, had received five ; balls ; Pete Devlin, sent up for reciving l stolen goods, two balls, and Quinn, a - Fourth Ward Burglar, got four bullets. ; The other two were not injured.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR NIAL—Tho 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 and a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, nnder 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-doloreux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fins, threatened with paralysis, home down and dispirited by that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain | or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition j of tho wonderful machinery which connects ev J cry member with the source of sensation, me lion 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 are 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 ette«;t upon the appetite, j While It renews the strength of the digestive j powers it creates a desire for the solid materia'. ; which is to be subjected to their action. As an I appetiser it ha? no equal in the Pharmacopia. ! I flung life and the vigor necessary to its en- j joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its beneficial eflects are not confined to either sex or to any age. Tlie feeble girl, the a.liug wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suirering from general de bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediate and permanent reli. f from the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it j will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard j against that terrible malady. There are many J perhaps who have so trilled with their constitu- ! tion that they think themselves beyond the reacli j of medicine. Let not even those despair. The j Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- j ierence to the causes, aud will not only remove j the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con ; stitution .
