||p Gen. Jim Lame has written his au
tobiography for the Kansas Crusader,
in which he states that his father and
two other Democrats held the State Con
vention of Indiana at which Andrew
Jackson was nominated for the Presi
dency : and that this nomination was
probably the means of putting Jackson
on the Presidential track.

shot an eagle one day last week, which

It had the appearance of having carried
the trap for some time, as the injured
limb had nearly healed up.
|*T Punch says that President Buch
anan need not throw away powder and
shot upon the Mormons. Let him send
them fashion books. The necessity of
crinoline will destroy polygamy. It

Congressional*
Washington, Feb. 25.— Senate. —Mr.
Crittenden presented the credentials of
General Shields, as Senator from Min
nesota. A debate arose whether he
was admissible before Minnesota became
a State. *
Tbe consideration of the Army bill
was resumed.
After amending the Army Bill so as
to authorize the President to accept the
services of ".,000 volunteers, the bill
a3 amended, was defeated —Ayes 10
nays 35
The Senate then adjourned.
House.— Mr. Quitman, from the
Committee on Military affairs, reported
a bill providing for the organization oi
a regiment of mounted volunteers to de
fend the Texas frontiers from Indians,
and authorizing the President, in case
of an emergency, to call out four addi
tional regiments.
Mr. Faulkner made a minority report
on the same subject. Both reportshvere
referred back to the committee (?) and
made the order of the day for Wednesday
next.
The resolutions for the expulsion of
0. B. Matteson, of New York, were ta
• ken up.
Mr. Howard took the ground that as
Matteson had been expelled once for
the same offence, the House had no
power to arraign him a second time.
He was purged of contempt when re
elected.
Mr. Stanton took the same view,
and moved to lay the subject on the
table.
The case of Mr. Matteson was refer
red to a select committee, and the
House adjourned.
Washington, Feb. 26.— Senate. —Not
in session.
House. —The resolution of Mr. Heard
concerning the influence of the Admin
istration upon the votes of members, was
further considered.
Mr. Potter rose to a question of priv
ilege. He refueW the statement of a
correspondent of the Norfolk Argus te
,garding difficulties in the House, in
which the correspondent alleged that
Mr. Potter had been kicked by u South
ern member. He prouunced the writer
guiltv of deliberate falsehood.
In Committee of the Whole on the
Kansas question, Mr. Smith, of Ten
nessee, said the spirit ot revolution was
abroad, which, unless checked, would
eventuate in disunion. He was opposed
to disunion : and hoped it would never
occur ; but he believed if the Idea were
once promulgated, that it would be im
possible to avert a dissolution. He de
precated the action of Congress as tend
ing to that point. He believed that if
Kansas was unconditionally admitted
this agitation would cease.
The discussion was continued by Mes
srs. Smith, Giddings of Ohio, Harris of
Illinois.
On motion of J. Glancey Jones, the
Indian appropriation bill was taken up.
It was discussed and passed.
The bill appropriating $400,000, to
enable the President to carry out the
stipulations for the abolition of the
Sound Dues, was passed.
The House adjourned until Mon
day.
Washington, Feb. 26.- The Supreme
Court adjourned, to-day until the sth
April.
It appears from documents received
by the Senate, to-day, that the admin
istration has come to the conclusion
that it is unnecessary to send Gen. Scott
to California, or to push the expedition
to Utah from the Pacific coast. Gen.
Scott approves the action of Col. John
ston throughout the whole expedition.
Heavy Opeations.— Pickpockets were
exceedingly busy at Richmond, Va.,
last Monday, in relieving strangers of
their change. The IMpatch states that
seventeen men and three ladies were
robbed of various amounts, ranging
from $5 to SSOO. During the delivery
of Mr. Everett’s oration, on Tuesday,
several persons in the crowd had their
pockets picked. One of them lost
$3,600 in draftß and money, another
$35, and a third sllO.

MA RTIIA o’ KELLEY—SWORN.
Is acquainted with defendant and
with his wife in her life time ; was liv
ing at the house of defendant, at the
tkne of his wife's death ; was at the
place on the day she died; had been
living there something more than a year
and a half—had some know ledge of the
feeding and clothing of deceased ; it
was the duty of Susan O’Kelly to attend
to her meals. Susan is now in town ;is ■
in a very bad mental condition. Up to.
the time of the death of her mother Su-j
san’s mind was at times good, at otlier
times bad. Defendant took personal
care of the comfort of deceased when liis
daughter’s mind was in a had state; food
was sent regularly to the deceased from
the table, in a plate ; was given to her
in an iron pan, —because she would break
earthen ware. The same kind of food
was given hor that the family had ; suf
ficient clothes were sent to her to keep
her warm. During the winter of her
death she received two dresses, besides
under-clothing ; both cotton and wollen ,
under-clothing were given her in the
winter. Witness knows but little about
her bed-clothing ; saw Susan carry it to
her, but don’t know how much. Saw
the body after death. When found the
face was rather ted ; discoved her dead
about 10 o'clock.; breakfast had been
furnished to her on that morning. Ex
amination was made at dinner, and she
was found dead. The body was taken
to the dwelling-house—was washed
with a rag dipped in warm water—was
not placed in a tub of hot water. The
temperatur of the water used was pleas
antly warm. The cabin in which she
wrs confined was sometimes cleaned. —
[Ben Kelley worked there while witness
lived at the house of defendant. Wit
ness made no charge against defendant,
that he had promised to marry her, at
any time. Nor of having ruined her
character.]
After the body of the deceasod was ta- j
ken from the cabin, the clothes in the
same were dry. Witness left the house
of defendant about 5 or 6 weeks ago ;
because sire got tired of staying there.
' Paine told her there was a warrant is
‘ sued against her and John, to get them j
- into a difficulty with the defendant, for*j
murder, and advised her to leave, that
1 Judge Hutchins had told him so. _ Shei
did not leave immediately. Thisintel-j
5 ligence caused her to go for the purpose j
' of getting out of the way.
! Cross examined. —Paine told witness of j
1 the warrant in defendant's house about J
a week before she left—no one came
with him ; boys were not in the house;
c , don’t know that Paine and defendant
had any difficulty. Sheriff was at the
house when she left; had been about
the house all that day. Hadn’t spo
’ ken with him. Witness reported that
he had a warrant. Witness left at night j
on horse-back : went to Gwinnett : as- j
terwards went to Nashville, before shei
; returned to this county. Went there i
j to sow for a living, took nobody except j
her childrin to Nashv lie with her. Paid
foil *r board while there. Defendanthad
f paid witness money; witness has never
paid defendant anything for board
lived at defendant’s house about one
year and seven months before his wife
5 died. Witness earned her clothes by
' sewing for people, and attending to de
’ fendant’s house duties. Has sewed for
Tapley Tucker, and received money
from him. He was a member of the
family ; and had paid her the largest
part of the money witness had on going
to Nashville. Dean O’Kelly of Guin-j
nett paid her some money for sewing.— j
Witness remained in Nashville about!
e (two) days ; nobody come home with j
her ; nobody sent for her ; went first to!
, defendant’s house ; next day went to!
1 Dean O’ Kelly’s house : rnon y was not:
, all expended ; carried and brought back
her three children with her. Never
’ talked with defendant about what she
h would swear on the stand ; never con-'
eluded with defendant that it was best L
for her to remain away from court; has • <
never talked with anybody about what *
her testimony would be. Staid last;,
night with delendant’s family.
WILLIAM BARNS —SWORN.
Has known Ben Kelly about 18 j
months; is acquainted with his charac
ter for truth and veracity in the neigh-1 1
borhood in which he lives; and from!
that knowledge don't know when to he- j
lievc him on his oath, and don’t think j
he could believe him.
Cross, examined.— Knew Ben Kelly in;
Gwinnett ; has heard Pruett say of him i
that he was a tattling, lying sort of per-!
son ; heard others talk of him ; don’t;
know what they said. Kelly had an ac- j
count against the father of witness ; wit
ness had said to solicitor that he based
his opinion as to Kelly’s veracity, on
having seen a sworn account reduced
in court; Another reason is that Kelly j
had given a bond to Mrs. Durham, and
afterwards told witness that he could |
uot pay it.
MARTIN BRUETT—SWORN.
Has known Ben Kelly about eight- j
teen months. Is acquainted somewhat:
with his character for truth and veracity!
in the neighborhood in which he lives,
and from that knowledge would not he- j
lieve him on his oatli in a court of Jus-i
tice.
Cross examined.— Has worked for Kel
ly—had a difficulty with him—has*
since made it lip.
WILLIAM KIRK —SWORN.
Knows Ben Kelly—knows his general j
character for truth and veracity in the
neighborhood of his residence, and
would hesitate to believe him on oath, j
Cross Examined. —Kelly spun “long!
yarns”—would believe him on oath if j
he was not interested in the suit.
Testimony on the Part of the Slate, in Re- ;
. huttal.
FRANCIS S. COLLEY —SWORN.
f Is a regularly practicing physician ; i
t_ has never seen a human person who had
j been frozen to death. From analogy,!
J and fiom medical authority, thinks the!
’ appearance of a body after death from j
freezing would be as follows : limbs!
* would be drawn up— color dark, mot-!
t tied or pided. There are different va
r rietieß of lunacy; heard the testimony
of witness descriptive of deceased’s lu
nacy ; thinks it to have been hysteri
cal mania, caused by irritation of the
i womb ; and might, by a reflex ac
t tion, affect the brain through the media
, of the nerves. Cases of this kind, of
- recent date, might be cured ; and pos
sibly cases of long continuance* In
such cases, or in any cases of li^iacy,!
the patient should be treated kindly,
kept clean, and in a well ventilated
room, perfectly clean from all offensive
matter. It is the disposition of all in
sane persons to bo unclean and filthy.—
Lunatics may, by proper care, he con
tracted in all cases.
Cross Examined. —The effect of a cold
is to contract the skin; and gives a
mottled appearance to the same. A
large portion of the blood tends to
ward the central organs, in cases of
great cold. A small portion of the
blood recedes from the capillary vessels.
In cases of frost bite the mottled flesh is
sloughed off—would believe Dr. Wood
on such questions. Dr. Wood says that
persons dying from cold would he
slightly convulsed ; don’t know that
Wood ever saw a case of a person's
freezing to death There are many ca
sas of insanity among males. A ma
jority of lunatics confined to the asy
lums for the insane do not recover ;
witness has treated lunatics from irrita
| ted condition of the womb ; always re
commends patients to he carried to some
! asylum.
JOHN lOSTER-SWORN.
Is a practicing physician ; has never
seen a person who had died from cold.
From the books thinks the appearance
of the body of a person frozen to death
would he livid and mottled ; muscles
contracted. Livid means dark, pur
plish, &c.
Cross-Examined. —The body of a person
frozen to death would be livid ; fingers
and toes paler than other portions of
tl»e body ; livid appearance would be
co-extensive with the freezing. The
flow of the blood to the brain in such
cases would contract the muscle.
3. M. MOON- —SWORN.
Is acquainted with the character of
Ben Kelly for truth and veracity; would
believe him on oath in a court of justice.
Cross- Examined. —Has known him about
three weeks.
AOHN M. BETTS —SWORN.
Is acquainted with Ben Kelly's gene
ral character for truth and veracity, in
the community in which he lived;
would believe him on his oath.
Cross-Examined. —Ben Kelly had some
difficulty with Pruett and Kirk ; consid
er them clever men; would believe
them on oath in a court of justice.
JOHN W. ALLEN—SWORN.
Has known Ben Kelly 6 or 7 months ;
would believe him on oath from his
general character for truth and veraci
ty.
Cross-Examined. —Kelly had some diffi
culty with defendant; witness never
heard anything good or bad about his
character.
I*7“ The case was ably argued by
i Messrs. Easley, Thurmond, and Foster,
| for tho State, and Messrs. Lamar, Clark
j and Floyd, for the prisoner, when, as
! ter a very distinct charge from Judge
j Hutchins, the Jury returned a verdict
jof “Involuntary Manslaughter in the
.! commission of an unlawful act,” and
; the Judge sentenced Thomas O’Kelly to
three year’s imprisonment in the Peni
tentiary.
The Failures In England.
The financial difficulties of 1857, in
| England, were of greater extent than
| any which had previously occurred for a
long time. There were no fewer than
I one thousand four hundred and twenty
j nine bankruptcies gazetted. Os these,
seven hundred and sixty-five were in the
country, and six hundred and sixty-four
in London alone. In Liverpool theie
were one hundred and thirteen, in Man
chester one hundred and fourteen, in
Birmingham two hundred and nineteen,
jin Leeds one hundred aud twenty-four,
and in Bristol one hundred and one.
In temper mice In England.
In the course of a speech recently de
i livered at the New York Academy of
i Music, by Neal Dow, he gave a terrible
j picture of drunkenness in England. He
II estimated that no less than 60,000 Eng
!! lishmen destroyed themselves by drink
| every year, and that there were no less
| than 600,000 drunkards throughout
J Great Britain.

CERTIFICATES :
j Ido hereby certify that, after suffering for
j thirty-three years with the most excruciating
j pain from Chronic Rheumatism, and finding no
permanent relief from any of the many prescrip
tions given me by different physicians, I am
now entirely well, not only of Rheumatism it
self, but likewise of its effects. This cure was
elfected by a preparation styled Lynch’s Anti
l Rheumatic Powders Os these powders I took
! two dozen, and liav not had any symptoms ol
, my old pains for tbr o < years. The effect upon
me was like magic Within three days after [
had taken the first powder, my pains disappear- 1
I ed, and I have been entirely clear of them up to
i the present time.
I To all suffering from Rheumatism Ido hearti- j
ly recommend these powders, confidently be- !
j heving that you have ouly to give them a trial :
j to secure a lasting cure.
Most respectfully, John Lings. '

i 1 have no hesitation in saying, that after liav i
| ing suffered for upwards of thirty years with !
Rheumatism in the most dreadful form—first in !
; my toes, then my thumbs, wrists and knees, and
1 lastly, most excruciatingly in my neck, I took j
two or three dozen ol Lynch’s Anti Rheumatic
I Powders, and notwithstanding I am old and my !
! constitution much shattered, 1 have received the
j greatest benefit imaginable ; my relief from ;
suffering and paiu, 1 cannot attribute to anything
i but the powders, tor J have tried everything j
j in vain, that friends could suggest or physicians
j prescribe. I would, therefore, earnestly re
commend them to every sufferer of this dread

; ItTAL.—Tlie dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
! has lost the power of duly converting food into a
‘ life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
j course of this extraordinary tonic. Tlie gastric.
i fluid re acquires it 3 solvent power, and the crude
1 nutriment, which was a Iqpd and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under 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, Tie-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down aud dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
1 nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arisingfrom 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 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 Ims a direct, im
mediate and astomshing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
I powers it creates a desire for the solid material
I which is to.be subjected to their action. As an |
; appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
! If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
i joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of

| IST 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 a lack 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, is the 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 ] reparations abound, and
| hair tonics’ fill every ‘corner grocery 5 in the
| country. Avoid all ‘hair tonics’ unless known
i to be the preparation of some man whose tele -1
j brity has become world-wide. Do not let any !
! nostrum vender upon your hair, j
! Touch nothing you have not good reason to be-1
i lleve is all that it purports to be. Prof. Wood ;
has earned by years of severe test of the virtues j
;of his preparation, his present fame. Over 150 j

i hair restorative, from all parties who have tried \
! it. Use no other.
