Tehauntepec Rumors.
The Washington Stales says that ru
mors are being industriously circulated
that tlie Tehauntepec Transit remains
closed, because the Panama Company
can afford to pay $40,000 a month to
have it so; but our busy Black Bepub
lican friends err in their calculations.
The Tehauntepec Transit is peculiarly j
the measure of Mr. Buchanan, and so
long back as the Mexican war he came
near obtaining for us this invaluable j
road to the Pacific, but was defeated by j
British interference, in the treaty of i
Gaudalupe Hidalgo. He was the first j
of our statesmen to bring this route,
and its emphatic necessity as an element |
of inter-State communication, before ]
the country, when he was Secretary of
State ; and it is not credible that he
will permit it to be sacrificed now,
when, as President, it is in his power to
open it to our trade. It is the nearest
and best Isthmus transit for the Gulf
States and the valley of the Mississippi.
They have been wronged out of the use
of this gate to the Pacific for eight
years, and that is quite enough for
their patience. Proposals are before
the Post Office Department to carry the
mails by this route for a third less than
the Panama Company receives, and in
a third less time, and they will doubt
less be acted upon so soon as certain
preliminaries can be arranged with the
fickle, faithless, and ever-changing Gov
ernment of Mexico.

The Brunswick Herald of the 10th in
stant, says :—“ On Friday last, Mr.
Henry Dale, a young man of excellent
character, and apparently in robust
health, fell dead while walking th*
street.”
Thomas Golden was tried at the Supe
rior Court of Marion county, last week
for the murder of Nicholas Jordan
some time last winter and convicted.
We learn, says the Home Courier,
that on Wednesday or Thursday of last
week, Mr. Jacob Smver, the owner of a
mill some three or four miles below
Coosaville, in this county, was caught in
his machinery by his clothes, drawn in
between two cog-wheels, and most hor
ribly mutilated, causing his immediate
death. Mr. Smyer was a worthy citizen,'
and his untimely death is deeply de
plored.
isr The Cleveland Clarion of the Ist
inst., says: “We learn from Col. Mor

that the Chattanooga and Cleveland

Special Cbrrespomlence of the Dispatch.
Edgefield, S. C., March 10, 1858.
The village is alive with interested
attendants upon the trial of G. D.
Tilman. The case has occupied two
days, and the whole proceedings have
been marked by the utmost urbanity
between the council on either side.—
The charge of the Judge was, taking
into consideration his position on the
bench, even more severe than the argu
ment of the Solicitor, toward the pris
oner.
I have taken down the evidence in
the case, and an abstract of the argu
ment on each side, together with the
charge of His Honor, the Judge, which j
I will forward as soon as I can trans- j
cribe from my Phonographic copy.
The speech of M. W. Gary, Esq., ]
to the jury, in behalf of the prisoner,
was an eloquent and forcible appeal, and
places him in a proud position as an ad
vocate. I thus allude to Mr. Gary be
cause he is a young man, and I believe j
in not waiting until a man is dead, or j
too old to do much good, before doing !
him justice.
Mr. Owens, the Solicitor, is compara
tively a young man, of much talent, :,
and performed his duty with marked |
ability and good judgment.
Six hours the Jury were out and re- j
turned with a verdict of manslaughter, l
Sentence will be pronounced this ’
. 1
morning.
When the trial comes to be publish
ed, it will be seen that the facts of the
case were not in exact accordance with
the first impressions which went out
into the community.
But the whole history of the unfor- ■
tunatc occurrence is a corroding lesson <
to young politicians and old ones too, 1
and will not be entirely lost to the
country.
The court met at 10 o'clock, and as- j f
ter a very feeling speech by Mr. Tilman, ; t
and a long review of the case by the ! I
Judge, the sentence of the Court was 1 !
pronounced as follows : That the" de- j i
fondant be imprisoned two years, and
pay a fine of (wo thousand dollars.

Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. \
Geeensboro', Ga., March 10.
When I reached here Monday night
the snow was about two inches deep,
and on Tuesday the weather was so un
pleasant that few persons were in atten
dance on the Superior Court, now in
session. There is a large amount of bus
iness on the docket, comprising several
criminal cases.
The criminal docket was taken
up to-day, and John, the property of
Iteuben Bennett, Trustee, was tried for
the murder of Jesse J. Jones, on the
15th of Fghruaiv. The case was repre
! sented by Solicitor General W. A. Los
I ton, for the State, and John C. Heed,
Esq., of Lexington, for the defendant
j The principal witnesses were Wm. Jones,
son of deceased, Col. Thornton, Mr.
\ Carlton, Mr. Burke and Mr. Printup.
From the testimony, which, except
j the hoy’s confession, was chiefly circum
-1 stantial —it appears that Jones was mnr
j dered in the day-time, while riding
j across the plantation of Mr. Hart, of
j which he was overseer. He was found
I lying on his face with his skull com
' pletely mashed, and his face severely
, contused. Tracks were found leading
to those of the horse on which
Jones was riding, hut none but the
tracks of the horse led from the spot.
At a little distance it appears that he
left the horse and attempted to walk on
the rocks and grass, and thus conceal
his tracks. The boy was run away at
the time, and suspicion resting upon
him he was watched, and when found
his tracks conformed to those made in
the field. Articles belonging to Jones
were found in the possession of other
negroes, who said they got them from
John. Being a boy of very little intel
ligence he soon -acknowledged killing
Jones —having beaten him with a Cedar ;
| stick until life was extinct. He says
!he was hired to do it, by a boy named j
I Thornton, who was to give him six dol- j
! lavs. He is a coarse, brutish, African
| looking negro ; and has said since his :
; arrest that he would kill anybody for !
| ten dollars. The counsel for the State j
I merely read the law to the Jury, and j
Heed made a few remarks in defence,
; urging the boy’s imbecility of mind, 1
| when the case was submitted to the Ju- 1
j ry ; and as soo.i as it could be written j
| out, they returned a verdict of guilty.— i
I Sentence has not been pronounced, hut j
j the Judge informs me that he will
J probably he hung on the 30th of April.
| Old Greene is proverbial for the vigor j
• with which she enforcestbe law. I heard
-1 an old citizen say that within his recol
! lection seven men had been hung in the
! county—five blacks and two whites.
1 Thornton, oelonging to Mrs. Scott,
'; will be tried to day as accessory to the
' J murder of Jones. Able counsel are en
■ | gaged in his defence, and his conviction
I is regarded doubtful.
B. F. Ray, of the province of “Sugar-
Tit” one of the purlieus of old Greene

! rnents are against him for playing and

A correspondent of the Augusta Dis

says that the students are selling out

such a rate that there wil 1 not be twenty

In this, he missed the mark further than

Controlling her Temper,
The husband of ti lady of fiery tem
! per says that before their marriage he
was warned of her fiery disposition, and
,to test the accuracy of the information,
i one evening, as lie sat next to her at
| dinner, he managed cleverly to jog the
servant’s elbow, as a plate of mock tur
i tie soup was offered her, which of course
was upset over the young lady's white
; dress of tulle lace. No complaint, nor
•even frown, being evinced, the delight
ed suitor concluded that what he had
(heard was a mistake, and the marriage
took place; but soon the lady’s real
character displayed itself, as is always
j the ease after marriage, but never before,
and his wife like a human Stromboli,
, was subject to fiery eruptions every ten
| minutes upon an average. “How is it,
I my dear,” said the happy husband, “that
I having such abad temper, you stood the
j ordeal by soup so well ?” “ Why,” an
swered the lady, “I may have appeared
i indifferent at the time, but, good heav
ens! you should have only gone into
I my room a little while afterwards and
seen the marks of my teeth on thebed
i post!”

An interesting fact concerning the
1 late Dr. Proal, rector of Trinity church,
in Utica, N. Y., has recently been made
public. Shortly before his death he
was taken into the open air and seated
before his door. He then caused all
his sermons to be brought out and
placed in a heap before him, and a match
to be applied to the pile. The good
man sat and watched with singular in
terest the destruction of years of labor
in the service of his Master. The ser
mons thus consigned to the tlames num
bered upwards of seventeen hundred !
The man who thought we should
have no cold weather this season, left
town a few days ago, with a deep blush
on his cheek. He had caught a sight
of the raw material.

fivT The Great P r oblem
, ! Solved !—PR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved bv a single
, course or 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
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
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
• or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
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 tho 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 hards of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
• While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it create? a desire for the solid materia’
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it lias no equal in the Pharmacopia.
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 de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent relief 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 milady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. Tin-
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
the di order itself, but rebuild the broken con
| stitution

AST A Liver Remedy.—We
wish to say to every person who reads this that
there is an article known as Dr. Sanford's In
vigorator, or Liver Remedy, which can be relied
ou as certain to cure liver complaint it: any of
its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, aud nu
merous other Complaints, described in another
column, besides which it is one of the greatest
preparations or cures for consumption, taken in
early stages, that is now known.
We take it for granted, as experiment has pr
ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally
j the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated
! system, caused by the improper action of the
j liver, which reduces the power of the lun s to :
J resist or throw off diseases caused by cold and
| irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this
j disease, because the liver has incapacitated
them from performing their proper action *f
i throwing off diseased matter caused by cold.
1 Thus to prevent consumption, cure the liver
1 and keep the system strong enough to throw ofl
; slight diseases of the lungs.
I There is not in the world- a better liver reme
| dy or a euro for debilitated system than Dr.
; Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully tried
; in a large and extended practice till its results
j are fully known, and now it Is offered as a tried
(remedy, and one that can be relied on.— Lan
