(gbcnitf,Dispute!). ~ AUGUSTA.GA~: 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. At a meeting of the principal mem bers of the Theatrical Company, brought here by Mr. David 11. Allen, from their homes in far distant cities, then aban doned by him, held at the City Hotel on Thursday, the 25th February, lor the purpose of taking into consideration measures to enable them to meet their necessary expenses and obtain some pe cuniary idemnification for their long season's services—Mr. David 11. Allen 'having abruptly broken up his Company and engagements and left Savannah I without (althongh, the business and re-J ceipts of the Theatre have been ampiv [ sufficient to enable him to do so) pay ing the salaries of any for several months past, although indebtedtotliem individually in various sums, from SIOO to S 500; and Mr. Padleford having with his uniform urbanity, and the sym pathy and liberality that characterize the high toned Southern gentleman tendered the gratuitous use of his the atre, and the Press of the city having in like manner and evidencing" the same spirit, tendered the like gratuitous use of their columns for the purpose of ad vertising. it was . Resolved, That the Company accept the courtesy so extended to them; that the theatre be opened for a series of benefits, to commence on Monday night the Ist March, each of the members volunteering his.services for the benefit of the others ; and that (he thanks of the Company be. and they hereby are respectfully tendered to Mr. Padleford and the Press of Savannah.

[Continued.] 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.

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 !
