Friday Evening, Feb. 546, 1858.
A Lawyer Transformed.
D'lsraeli, in his “curiosities of litera
ture," devotes a chapter to the history
of events that did not take place, and a
very curiously suggestive chapter it is,
showing how often everlasting things
hang on a slender thread, or turn on a
very small hinge. In reading the very
honarable and honoring account of the
reception accorded by the General As
sembly of Virginia to Lieut. General
Winfield Scorr—ai reported elsewhere
in this issue—we are reminded, says the
Charleston Courier, ot an event which
did not happen in his life and which
was no doubt a turning point. Win
field Scott’s earlier studies and inclina
tions were directed to the law, and af
ter some time past in lagai apprentice
ship in his native State, he removed to
Columbia, S. C., and under the direc
tion of Col. John J. Chappell, prepared
himself for application to the South
Carolina Courts. A preliminary appli
cation to the Legislature was necessary
in his case, in order to permit an exam
ination, and on such application the Le
gislature declined to interpose a special
act. Disappointed in this, he returned
to Virginia, and soon after—in 1808,
we believe —accepted the commission
which he has so gallantly and worthily
improved up to his present rank and
station among the “Great Captains" of
the age.

The LaGrange Reporter announces
that Sarah, the slave woman of Mr. B.
K. Gates, of Merriwetlier, who murder
ed her overseer, Mr. Littlebekry Jenk
ins, (instead of Dewberry, as we stated
last week.) was brought before Judge
Bull, on Friday morning last, and after
a fair trial liefore a jury of her county
was found guilty of murder. She is
sentenced to be hung on the loth or 25tli
of April next.
Tlie same paper of the same date says I
that the woman subsequently broke!
jail and had not been heard of up to latest I
accounts.
From Montevideo— Pirates.
Baltimore, Feb. 23.
The barque Clinton, Wright, master,
from Montevideo, has arrived, with
dates to December 25th.
The Argentine news is unfavorable.
In consequence of the financial ad
vices, American and European trade was
prostrated, and produce had declined.
A revolt in the mines threatens inter
nal dissensions.
The baque Fame, from Richmond,
for Montevideo, on the 23d December,
got ashore and was assisted off by the
Brazilian war steamer. Whilst aground,
a large number of Italian pirates, from
ashore, boarded her for the purpose of
plunder. They stole the chronometer
and every thing else they could lay
their hands on, and were only got rid
of when the barque got off. A portion
of her cargo was placed in small vessels
in order to lighten her. Itwas the opin
ion of the commander, that had she re
mained there during the night, an at
tempt would have been made to murder
all hands.

Education in North Carolina.— The
following statistical information in re
gard to the progress of Education in
this State, we compile from the Fay
etteville Observer. It will be seen that
North Carolina is clearly ahead of all
the other slave-holding States with her
ystem of public instruction; while she
compares favorably in several respects
with some of the New England and
North-western States.
North Carolina has a larger School
fund than Maine, or New Hampshire, or
New Jersey, (by $600,000) or Massachu
setts, (by $500,000) or Georgia, tby SI ,-
700,006;) she has as many colleges ns
Georgia, more academies by 100, and
2,000 more common schools, the two
States being equal in white population ;
she has more colleges than South Caro
lina, more academies by 100, and near
ly three times as many children at
school.
Virginia has 340,000 white population !
more than North Carolina ; yet the lat • j
ter has quite as many colleges as the
former; as many academies, and five or j
six hundred more public schools. These j
comparisons speak volumes in favor of 1
the “Old North State" considering that
she has no large cities like the above
States to build up and sustain hei edu
cational institutions.
From the Savannah Morning Macs.

bers of the Theatrical Company, brought

CHARLES NEEDHAM —SWORN.
! Witness has seen deceased ; 10 or 12
years ago : when he first saw her, she
was kept in the house behind the smoke
house ; saw her there but once, direct
lv after she was carried there ; saw her
several times at the other cabin, as
much of her as could be seen of her
through the aperture, which was little
more than her face and hands ; has
seen them giving her articles of food
and water also in an iron frying pan,
with the handle off; this pan was some
times in a very filthy condition, and
with a little tin cup was the only vessel
used by her in any way. The place
smelled very bad ; witness don’t recol
lect seeing flies there ; and knows but
little of her clothes ; as he could not
see much of her.; her face and hands
were clean as far as he saw. Witness
saw her in 1-2 hour after hearing of her
death, and about the time she died;
don’t recollect the precise time; she
was crooked up—here witness described
her position ;—saw part of her face : it
looked like it always did ; went by the
house she staid in ; hut did not look
into it, and did not see clothing taken
out on that day.
SAMUEL L. NF.EniIAM SWORN.
Witness knew deceased ; saw her in
the cabin by the horse lot, probably 20
, times : saw her 2 or 3 times a year un
til her death. The cabin smelled very
' offensively ; she was fed in a tin pan,
l which was covered with filth, as descri
- bed by others. Water was sometimes
given her in a tin cup ; there was no
tire or cleaning in the cabin ; heard her
complaints of being hungry ; never
went to her then ; never knew her to
be fed right there ; never could see
clothing she had on ; save something
like a shawl, which seemed to cover
most of her body, except her waist:
saw no furniture, or anything of that
kind; her food was carried her by the
negroes. Witness did not see her the
month she died ; last saw her sometime
before Christmas ; saw her after death,
in O’Kelley’s house; witness then de
; scribed her position ; she was wrapped
. in a sheet ; don’t remember what de
fendant said about the matter when she
died. Witness had never heard defend-
I ant’s wife talk much; though he had
I frequent interviews with her ; had nev
ler seen her in her crazy fits ; no one
I ever hindered witness talking to her ;
the house was of hewn logs ; notched:
hole on the South side, which was
plmked up ; logs 6 inches thick ; there
was a sort of shelf near the hole ; hut
don’t know that it extends across;
could not see the floor from the hole ;
1 it was as high as his chin from the
ground: don’t know how high from the
floor ; it was 3 feet from the eaves;
never saw her out of the house -. didn’t
! see her face after death ; saw her fore
head—it was dark late in the even
ing.
JOHN ATIIA—SWORN.
’ Knew deceased 6or 7 years ; lived at
1 O’Kelley’s one year ; working in the
: shop ; means for knowing how she was
’ treated was not very good ; saw her
j. when passing by her house ; saw her
every day or two ; sometimes she was
r clothed : sometimes naked; bail apiece
J of blanket round her shoulders ; no
shoes or stockings, or furniture that he
| saw ; corroborated the testimony of
1 others in reference to the filth of the
place,—the uses of the iron pan, &c.—
Never saw her eat out of anything ejse ;
had seen her fed sometimes by a negro
woman. Itwas a year or more after
witness left before lie sawher; the house
smelt very badly ; he saw it cleansed,
, once ; and saw it afterwards in very
had condition. The rags and clothing
t had been taken out, and there were no
whole clothes; that day she stood in
. the piazza of the dwelling house while
j her house was cleaned; she was not
. noisy ; one of the negro women sort of
, heaved when cleaning it; and came out
'. and stood at the door and threw hot
[ water into the house saying that she
could not stand it. Witness had seen
I deceased in cold and warm weather ;
.j saw her the year before she died, and
after death ; saw only lier face ; took
. her measure ; found her knees crooked;
. i didn’t notice arms particularly ; her
| face and arms were bluish ; didn’t no
,: tice her head, but her ears were a little
darkish blue.
’ I Cross Examined. —Witness lived there
jas near as lie remembers 3 years before
j she died. Sometimes she would get
j boisterous, and use profane and vulgar
language ; sometimes she talked ra
tionally. Saw her in the house fre
-1 quently. There was no hole in the
floor that he ever saw. Don’t know
j her exact age ; may have been 50 ;
| never saw any article passed in or. out
1 the hole except in the iron pan used.—
He saw her every day or two, and she
was fed regularly as far as he knows,
and was in good health ; never saw her
face washed ; and don’t know whether
or not it was ever washed ; never saw
her given any clothes, or bed clothes ;
was not clad in the piazza—was not na
ked —had on a calico dress aud blanket;
this he thinks was in August, as it was
peaoh time, ami witness pealed several
peaches and gave her. Defendan t was
not then at home, and the witness stay
ed with her two hours.
DAVID REID-—SWORN.
Has seen deceased probably 10 or 12
years before her death ; she was in a
very awful condition, in the place where
I defendant kept her, had scarcely anj
j clothes; the house was the filthiest
j place witness ever saw—smelt very bad
ly, and flies were swarming about it,
saw only a piece of quilt over her body,
big enough to cover her up when she
sat down by the wall. At Green Creek
meeting house defendant asked witness
to go home, and went along with him.
Said he wanted to get an order from
the Inferior Court to take her to the
Asylum, saying that if she would be put
away it would be the means of some
other good woman getting a home.—
1 Did’ut say anything about who should
1 pay expenses. Witness saw her when
she was first brought to the county in a
small box in which she couldn’t stand :
• saw her in different seasons of the year
: —don’t know how long she staid in the
1 box.
. Cross examined. —Suppose she staid in
» tlie box perhaps a month; when she
■ was removed to a house built for the
f purpose.
1 WILLIAMSON CARTER— SWORN.
I Saw defendant tlie dav the deceased i
| died, between 12 and Idefendant- said I
I he supposed there was a death in bis
! family, though he hadn’t examined to
, ! his satisfaction. It was at defendant's
I gate ; and witness asked who had died ?
, Defendant replied, either the woman,
'j or that woman. It was a cold day, the
(ground was frozen; though it was thaw
ing in the sunshine, and a pleasanter
day than there had been.
WM. L. ROBINSON—SWORN.
Saw deceased twice in 1840 and 1847 ;
had not on much clothing ; she was in
j a small pen oby 8 feet, in a very had
j fix as to cleanliness; smelt as bad as any
place could smell, and had no private
■ outlet of any kind.
WM. G. HOWELL —SWORN.
Saw the deceased once when they
first moved here, in the little house ;
looked in at her in January or February;
smelt nothing, and could tell nothing
about its cleanliness.
BENJAMIN KELtY—SWORN.
Knew defendant, lived at his house,
commenced on the 7th of July last and
staid until the last of September ; staid
a part of the time in his house : Mar
tha O’Kelly was there all the time. She
accused him of promising to marry her
5 or 6 years before tlie death of tlie de
ceased, if she would help to put deceas
ed out of the way. She said she had
not done it, but had injured her charac
ter. Witness heard a good deal of jow
ering ; didn’t charge his memory with
It—she was always quarrelling. Wit
ness supposed she is not there now; she
left when the officer went to arrest
O’Kelly, on a writ of injunction 4 or 5
weeks ago: and don’t know where
Cross examined. —Tlie parties were at
the fire place at the time of the above
controversy ; witness was in the porch,
and nobody but Tarply Tucker was sit
ting by them; it took place directly af
ter court; she was quarrelling when
witness went out, and remained in the
porch an hour or two. It was in the
night time; and Susan was in the kitch
en he supposes, and Bob was peddling
tin. Nobody was in tlie porch but wit
ness. In tlie week time witness was
working in the mil], and slept in the
shed room. Martha did not say that
she helped defendant to put his wife
out of the way, and never admitted it 1
in his presence, hut always denied it.—
There has been no difficulty between
O’Kelly and witness; have liad a few
words about a settlement in the fall,
but bears no spite against O'K. Wit
ness came to this county last Monday ;
lives in Atlanta, where he has lived for
five years. O’Kelly employed him at
liis brothers, and witness lias notes for
the work.
Cross examined.—The difficulty was
about O’Kelly’s not wanting to pay
what he charged by the day, for his la
bor. .
JAMES M. PAINE—SWORN.
Knows defendant; never saw deceased;
lived in Gwinnett when she died; saw
defendant 3 or 4 days after her death,
making arrangements with defendant
about making a will. Witness asked
defendant the news; defendant said
good news—his crazy wife was dead;
she had been in his way a good many
years—a millstone around his neck. She
had been in that unfortunate condition
: go long that he had lost all affection for
- her, and could not treat her as a human
- being. Spoke frequently about it af
terwards, after he was presented; in
tlie early part of last year, or latter
t part of the year before. Defendant
2 came to witness for advice ; said that
s death was discovered by her breakfast
i' not being eaten when dinner was ear
v ried to her; he supposed she had died
3 the day before; defendant did not think
2 she had anything to eat the day before,
> as he had a boil on his back and had
i forgotten about her. Defendant said
that cousin Martha wouldn't agree to;
! have her in his house, and his wife had
sense enough to know they were not
; getting along constitutionally. Defend
> ant said he had sent Martha and Vina
t after her, on finding she was dead, and
i put her in a tub of hot water, so hot
1 that he couldn’t hold his hand in it,
! but couldn’t thaw her. He said he
t would not have allowed any one to have
> seen her in that fix for all he was worth.
1 Defendant proposed to witness to put
3 himself out of the way, and he would
t furnish the money ; defendant tried to
f borrow the money of John Carter he
t thinks—it was a Carter, and he thinks
t it John Carter. Witness went with him
- to get the money hut failed to do it,
i and witness went off on his own mo
; ney ; defendant was to pay tlie expen
-1 ses of witness while absent. Witness
1 got money in Merriwether and went
: North, where he staid from May to Au
r gust. He had other business —put hirn
- self under Dr. Mott and o.tliers for sur
; gical operations; went mainly to put
himself out of the way, for defendant;
3 the other purposes were afterthoughts.
Cross Examination— The proposition to
t leave was to avoid the process of Court;
r and was made in the early part of last
- year, in cold weather. Witness had
■ seen O'K. a few days after the death of
■ his wife, and was making a new bnsi
- ness arrangement with him; but does
; not think the partnership was formed,
; but it was after that meeting, and lie
- has it in his note book. Witness had
: not been subpmnaed until yesterday, as
, ter telling to various persons what he
knew about the case. He had never
• been paid for staying away at the lust
- court; defendant promised to pay, but
: wouldn’t do it, witness admitted that
■ he had other purposes in view in the
trip ; hut went mainly in view of hav
; ing expenses paid, and for the pleasure
of the trip; had used no compulsion to
get the money out of defendant. Wit
ness had sworn in Atlanta before A. W.
Hammond, J. P.; that he went to New
Y’ork for the purpose of buying ma
chinery for the mill built by O’Kelly &
Paine, and was employed by O’Kelly ;
this fact, not a main item in tlie bill;
he had purchased $1,152 worth of ma
chinery, most of which was done by or
der. The purchase of the machinery
was an afterthought of witness, and
O’Kelly knew nothing about it. Wit
ness is very unfriendly with O'Kelly ;
had entered into a business agreement
with defendant before his wife’s death,
knew of the above facts in relation to
deceased before the contract was writ
ten, but it had npt been signed until af
ter her death, and don't know how long
after the verbal contract before it was
reduced to writing, or when the verbal
contract was made. Don’t remember
that he lias ever named employment of
counsel in this case ; and has not said
that he intended to have defendant con
victed to sustain his bill. Is unfriend
ly to defenda.it's family. Don’t re
member where he lived in January,
1856, as lie frequently was staying at
five or six places in tlie same year, but
thinks his family was in Atlanta.—
O'Kelly came to see witness at David
Thomas’ for the first time ; and there
first talked about the mill: made con
i tract about building the mill in the lat
s ter part of '55 or ’5(5 : saw him at his
o house when he first talked of his wife ;
s witness staid all night, went next morn
? ing and don’t remember how long after
i, he saw defendant; but defendant asked
c witness if he would make the contract if
- defendant could get out of his contract
r with Simpson and others. Witness did
not, in presence of Mott, Moore, Ben Kel
ly and Thomas Cunningham, curse the
, people, and say they were fools for
’ abusing O'Kelly, for he had been at
, O’Kelly’s, and knew that his wife was
well treated. While the defendant
came up, and Moore commenced abus
" ing him, and saying he ought to be
hung for treating a woman so, aud
witness said to Moore he ought not to
■ speak so if he was not certain he was
; guilty, and might have cursed, but
does not remember.

some poisonous drug. The cause of the
rash act is unknown. Some expressions
made from time to time, within the last

Jif The Great Pro blem
Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
. fclAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
x life-sustaining element, i 3 relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastrin
' fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
1 | nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
l I the sufferer, while bis digestive organization was
j paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created iu the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
’ | The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
I acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
j rors, wakened by periodical Gts, threatened with
i paralysis, borne 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 unnatural condition
of 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
j declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
; woman has ever received from the hands of
i medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im- ,
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. ,
i While it renews the strength of the digestive
' powers it creates a desire for the solid materia!
| which is to be subjected to their action. As an
I appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
j If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
! joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
; precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
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 do
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent relv ffrom
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-
I tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
jof medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
■ I !erencc to the causes, and will not only remove
,; the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

£7/11 air Dye is Vile Wash,
but the article that will uaturally restore the
, color of the hair, the changing of which to gray
i being an indication of ulack of proper secretions,
;, is truly a valuable medicine. Professor Wood’s
I i HAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the leading
| minds over the Union do not falsify, is tin• 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 i reparations abound, and
( ! -hair tonics’ fill every ‘corner grocery’ in the
|; country. Avoid all ‘hair tonics’ unless known
, | to be the preparation of some man whose cele-
I I brity has become world-wide. Do not let any
. J nostrum vender experiment upon your hair.
. j Touch nothing you have not good reason to be
| lleve is all that It purports to be. Prof. Wood
J has earned by years of severe test of the virtues
of his preparation, his present fame. Over 100
I certificates are before us of the value of this
j hair restorative, from all parties who have tried
' it. Use no other.
Caution. —Beware of worthless imitations as
several are already in the market called by dif

Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St. Louis, Mo.,
