IXAixios ; or the Unity and Trinity of the Human Law ; with the Divine /political Constitution of the world, and the Divine rights of Stem, Ham andJaoheth. By Samuel Davies Bald win, author of “Armagedden.” Print ; ed by E. Stevenson and F. A. Owen, Nashville, Tenn., and for sale by the iuthor and his agents. We have only time to-day to acknowl edge the receipt of a copy of this work, which is essentially Southern in its au thorship and execution. ■■■ • Georgia ~' J Tlie Supcjior Court of Sumter coun ty sent three delegates to the Peniten tiary last week, viz: Ivey, for forgery, sentenced to eight years imprisonment: another for stealing a negro was sent for six years, and Avert for assault with inteut to kill, sent for seven years. The Court House building in the town of Starksville, was entirely con sumed by fire on the night of the 9th instant. Nothing that was in the build ing was preserved from the flames. The Superior Court was to sit next Monday, hut of course will be adjourned. There \ is every reason to believe that it was . the work of an incendiary. The adjourned Session of the Superi- j or Court of Greene county will conven* on next Monday week, the 29th. At the Superior Court in Putnam last week, we learn that Castleberry, ar raigned for shooting Nicholson, was found not guilty. Rainey, alias Buck halter, arraigned for horse stealing, g •was sent to the Penitentiary five years. Pool, for negro stealing, was sent seven years to the same institution. At the late Term of Crawford Supe- rior Court, James Revel was tried for murder, and convicted. He was sen tenced by Judge Lamar to be huug. An epidemic has been raging in Hous ton county for several months, reseai bling putrid sore throat ; some 1,200 cases have occurred, and about 50 have ' proved fatal. It was at first treated as putrid sore throat, and during this J treatment the mortality was alarming ; finally a few cases denoted erysipela- 1 tous fever—the treatment changed ac- j cordingly, and the fatality was very much reduced. It has now entirely dis appeared, and the infected districts areenjoying their usual degree of health. Hon. Edwaku Everett is expected to pay a visit to his friend and former classmate, Dr. B. A. White, of Mil ledgeville, in a few days. The Federal Union suggests that the city authorities ' tender him some public mark of re spect . The Superior Court of Washington county, which we learn from the Fcde'r- i al Union, instill in session, rendered two i verdicts against the Central Railroad i Company ; one at the instance of Mrs. i Nancy Walker, admx., for $10,000; i aud one in favor of Levi H. Hall, for SO,OOO. The son of Mrs. W. was a fire man, and lost his life in July, 185 G, by running into a chasm, occasioned by the rain. The ground of prosecution was gross negligence, both in the con struction of the road; and in not ex amining it, after the rain. Iverson L. Harris was counsel for Plaintiff, Geo. A. Gordon for the Railroad. The ver dict of the jury was entirely at vari ance with the charge of Judge Holt, and the Defend ants have appealed. We learn from the Albany Patriot, that the Southern Bank of Bainbridge is regarded as entirely irresponsible.— Its bills will not pass at all. Those who hold them now, consider them selves sold. A collision with the up train occur red on the Western & Atlantic Railroad, near Dalton, about dusk Monday eve ning. The damage done to the en gines was slight, and no one hurt. Theatrical Gossip. Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne is playing at Crist's Gaiety in Nashville. Edwin Booth concluded his Baltimore engagement on Saturday. The Dispatch of that city says "he was unwell du- , ring mo}t of his engagement," and to that they attribute "the deficiency in energy displayed on several occasions. He a appears in Boston this week. Burton'b old theatre is now used for the purpose of holding prayer meet ings. Miss Mary Shaw has been engaged for the Howard Athenmurn, Boston. Miss Avonia Jones is in New Or leans. Miss J. M. Davenport is at Louis ville. Thalbkrq and are this week announced to appear in Cincin nati. Mr. Marchant has opened the Spring season in Charleston, with Mr. James Browne as leading actor. Miss Charlotte Cushman and Mr. J. H Tatlor are play, tig ~t Memphis. w A sister of Hon. Edward Everett | is LaHy Superior in the St Joseph’s Seminary at Richmond, Virginia. vr The hark Adriatic which arrived at Savannah last week, from France, having escaped from the perils of French law by taking “ French leave,” is ad, vertised for sale. Hamburg not a Corn Field yet. A correspondent of the Edgefield Ad vertiser, noticing the fact that Messrs. Delpii & Scott bought a Georgia lot of cotton the other day at 12 cents ’round, adds: “You will perceive by this that Hamburg, as yet, has not been 'conver ted into a corn-field,’ but is still in one sense a right lively little ‘cotton patch.'V “Well done old Hamburg.— Long may shesurvive! Once complete ly stranded, and our side of the State will soon realize the loss. It has been often said, yet we here say it again, that Hamburg is and has ever been the best cotton market in the South.” North an<l South. Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, in a iate eloquent speech in the Senate, said he was much gratified in learning from southern and northern speakers the comparative resources of the two sec tions of the country. The Senator from South Carolina had detailed the re sources of the South, and the Senator from Maine had given those of the North, and while listening to them it seemed to him (Mr. C.) that this ivas the most natural Union in the world. If either of these sections were apart, it would make a nation of which any man may be proud to he a citizen. What a magnificent Union, said Mr. Chitten den, it makes when youjuU both together.\J ~— A Stirling up tlie Animals, [ Congress has been called a‘ ‘ bear gar den,” and we mean no particular disre spect when we designate the process of waking up the members, by the term used in menageries. One night last week the Senate was in session until morning,and the Washington States tells 1 some funny stories of the process of c serving a call of the Senate, an hour or 1 two after midnight, on Senators who f had gone home and to bed. The Ser- 1 geant-at-Arms, accompanied by car- s riages, rode around the city and col- ' lected the deserters, peaceably if lie ‘ could, hut forcibly if lie must. Sam Houston was captured at the Kirkwood House, taken from his bed, and carried * growling to the Capitol. When called ' upon for an excuse for his absence, he ' gravely requested the Senate to inform him what excuse it had to offer for the outrage it had committed upon his per- sonal rights, by dragging him from his bed at that untimely hour. He pro tested that he would not ho pacified till the Senate apologized to him. Senator Clay, of Alabama, kept his doors lock ed, and defied the Sergeant-at Arms— flatly refusing to obey the mandate.— Generally, however, the absentees sur rendered themselves with a good grace, and a quorum was obtained at 4 o’clock in the morning. Clilriqul Route to tile Pacific. About midway between the Panama and Nicaragua Transits is found tho short, healthy and desirable, but as yet almost unknown Chiriqui Transit. This route to the Pacific is now traversed, says the Washington Stales, by a mule road from sea to sea, very little talked about, it is true, for it is more used by the native contrabandists thau foreign tourists, hut of rare and romantic beau ty nevertheless. The negro traders from Jamaica pronounce the name Cher ry Key, and it is not far from the cor rect Castilian sound of the word ; and these wild boatmen consider the har bors at either end of this route second to nothing in those seas. If their expe rience and opinions are worth anything, this neglected pathway to the Pacific deserves the careful and immediate at tention of our Government. They com pute the distance at only seventy miles from harbor to harbor, and the depres sion or opening through the mountain range is so favorable that a good stage road could be constructed and put in running order in a single season. Trnckiof a Georgia Wild Cat* A robbery of a banker's safe in Hen ry, Illinois, showed rather a strange de ficiency of capital. The robbers found $l5O in cufrency and ten thousand dol lars in bills on the Bank of Greensbo ro, Ga. The Peoria Transcript, which tells the story, says that “ three hun dred dollars in money with which to redeem ten thousand dollars in shin plasters, is decidedly suggestive." - IS' A court martial has been ordered to assemble at Newport, Kentucky, on Gen. Twioas for alleged contempt of the war Department. Wool President; Jessup, Harney and other Generals compose the board of members. IS” TheKeowee Courier learns that Mr. James Pelfrke, a citizen of Pick ens District, was frozen to death during the snow storm which prevailed on the night of the Bth inst. IS” The Charleston Courier has put on a new and beautiful suit, which im proves its general appearance very much. IS” A Mrs. Jenkins, of Mount Savage, Md., was frozen "to death in her bed a few days ago while intoxicated. She left 5 a family of small children. ~*♦•• IS” Phe rate of in Colum -1 bus where they have specie paying , hanks, has recently been reduced to the i following figures: . New York Cb«reu,n. « Per cent. : Savannah J >4 per cent. Medical College of the State of Seatb Carolina* The Charleston papers contain the report of the Dean of this institution, the commencement exercises of which took place on the 12th inst., from which we learn that the class in attendance on the lectures now terminated, amounted to two hundred and sixteen students, from the States of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Cal ifornia, New York, and tlie Island of Cuba. Tlie number of graduates is eiglity two, of which W. S. R. Hardman was the only one from Georgia. Murder by a Negro. Late last Thursday night a most atro cious murder was committed on Topsail Sound, near Wilmington, N. C., by a negro fellow named Peter, belonging to Owen Holmes, Esq. It seems that Peter had been runaway from Mr. Holmes’ plantation, aud Mr. Charles 11. Nixon, Mr. Holmes' overseer, went in pursuit of him, and had succeeded in coming up with the fugitive, when the negro turned round upon him and shot him. The negro shot once, and missed him, when Nixon presented his gun, which snapped,and the second fire from the negro killed him. The Sjhlriff, with a posseehad started in wprsuK of the negro, and indignation j : was 'vdry great. The Herald, from j 1 which we gather the facts, hoped that [ ’ the law would he permitted to take its ! course. East Tennessee Wheat Crop* Accounts from different sections of East Tennessee state that the wheat crop looks unusually fine and promis ing. A good stand has been obtained, and the crop is as forward as usual and is growing beautifully. The amount sown is very large, and should no mis hap befall the crop the harvest will he a most abundant one.

Put a Bible There. Put it anywhere, and let its power he felt —let it he read, obeyed and loved, and such results as these will fol low ; 1. The fiercest and most cruel sav age is tamed and made mild, gentleami affectionate. 2. Social and family ties are rescued | from the perversion produced by vice and crime, and become sources of pu- i rest happinc-s, 1 3. Put a llihlc there-and if that ru ler’s heart feels its power, his eyes are i opened to see what are the true rights i of men ; and a ruler so taught will leg islate with great alacrity and joy in be half of all those rights. 4. Put a Bible there—and every indi- ! vidual iu that community, heartily obeying it, will be a conscientious respecter of law, and an enlightened supporter of civil order and govern- j ment. j i 5. Put a Bible there—and its practi- j cal workings on the heart will put an end utterly to every error and delusion which may be destroying the welfare of that community. 6. Put a Bible there—and its truths, welcomed to the heart, will change all that coldness and indifference to men’s j eternal welfare, that had prevailed there j i into the most intense and cordial inter- ] i est in that welfare. I; So we may pat a Bible anywhere, aud j if we can bring it into spiritual contact with the heart, we employ the most ; powerful of all agencies to bring to an ' end all the moral disorders of the world, i We do good on tiie largest scale to the individual, the family and the nation, i —Boston Traveller. I THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. Washington, March, 20. j SENATE. Mr. Hale proceeded to speak in oppo- ' sition to the Kansas bill. Having al luded to the position of some of the northern democrats on this question, he said that the administration is re- I sponsible for the attempt to force upon 1 the people of Kansas the Lecompton ' constitution, which is odious to them 1 and contrary to their overwhelmingly expressed will. Mr. Foot, of Vermont, and Mr. Sim mons of Rhode Island, severally con demned the Lecompton constitution. Several other Senators delivered their j views on the Kansas question, ‘ and at I half-past ten, p. m., the Senate adjourn-1 ed until Monday morning at ten o’clock, j HOUSE. The House went into a Committee of j the Whole on the State of the Union— the deficiency appropriation bill being ! nominally under consideration. Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, opposed i the admission of Kansas under the Le compton constitution, and said, in con- \ ■ elusion, so help him God no stave State ; shall eVer come into the Union with his vote. Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, advoca . ted the admission of Kansas, and, in al luding to the last remark of Mr. Farns worth, said that was the issue which every gentleman ought gallantly to meet, j i He defended the South against the at tacks which have been made against that section of the country. Mr. Waldron, of Michigan, opposed the Lecompton movement, and was lavish in his condemnation of all who had an agency in it, and also of the ( President of the United States. Mr Barksdale, of Mississippi, made a ' speech in favor of the Lecompton move ment. By the treaty of Louisiana and by the Nebraska Kansas bill, the people of Kansas have a right to be •admitted into the Union. These were enabling acts. But the enabling acts are not necessary for the admission of new States. The debate was continued until half past nine o’clock, p. m., when the House adjourned. THE LATEST NEWS. BY TELEGRAPH Congressional. Washington, March 23.—Last night, in the Senate, Judge Douglas delivered a speech on the Kansas question before an immense audience. Mr. Green re sponded, and offered three amendments. Mr. Crittenden spoke again, and offered a substitute. It is probable a vote will be taken to-night. The House was in committee of the whole, and Kansas was discussed. It is understood that a vote will be taken on the deficiency bill this week. The Troops Moving Towards Utah.

The Alton (111.) Courier of the 11th, : says: “ Mr. Crabb, the prison guard, who was so dangerously stabbed by the con vict Hall, was much better yesterday, i having obtained considerable relief, and ' slept soundly. Dr. Williams informed , | us last evening that there was a marked | improvement in his case, and that he ' had sanguine hopes of his recovery.— 1 He is still in the prison hospital, it be ing thought most prudent not to remove 1 him to his residence for a few days. The convict—Hall—remains about as 1 wc last reported. The hall cannot be found, and he complains of much pain in his head, but is perfectly sensible, ' and converses readily.” i ►*•*——— f The Japanese.—The Japanese are a | great people. Jeddo, the capital of Japan, i contains about 1,080,000 inhabitants, a , number nearly equal to London. The , Emperor’s Palace is of indescribable y magnificence; its hall of audience is ! supported l>y many pillars of massive gold and plates of gold cover its three 1 towers, each nine stories high. Several 1 other costly palaces, belonging to the ( Emperor, Empress, concubines, and vas jsal kings, enrich this great eastern city. Where the Gold Goes. During the past year the receipts of ■ gold at New York from California were upwards of $34*000,000. One would suppose with such an influx of the pre cious metal, our people ought to grow rich, and a solid prosperity ensue. Such 1 would be the result but for our vast importations of foreign merchandize.— The exports of specie from New York and Boston during last year amounted to $54,800,000, or $20,800,000 more than | the gold recei /cd from California, and I this great sum went to pay our foreign 1 indebtedness. When a nation spends ; morethan it earns, ihe result is the same !as with an individual, it becomes poor, if I not bankrupt. ! The light fingered gentry in New ‘ York are doing a good business among ; the thronge whom curiosity, or a better motive, take to the different places i where religious revivals are going on. i The hoop question, like most others, ' has two'sides to it.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR j iria!.. —The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach ! has lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, is relieved by a ing course of this extraordinary Unic. The gastric. Hiiid re acquires its solvent power, and tbc crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization vv s paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous suffejyr, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolorcx or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that ten iblelassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other p:i»n or disability arising from the unnatnral 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 atonccc ilms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nsrvous organization. Females who have tried it are unanime s in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the ha ds 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 digo-Dve powers it creates a desire for the solid mater a which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal In the Pharmacopia. j If long life and the vigor necessary to its en joy merit arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of i precious worth j Its beneficial effects arc not confined to eithrr sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ai’lnp wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervoqs depres sion, the individual suffering from genera! do bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediate and permanent re! ! f from the U'C of this incomparable renovator. To | those wbo have a predisposition to paraiy.-i. it will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard against that terrible milady. There arc many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. I.et not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re orcnce to the causes, and will not only remove the di-ordor itself, but rebuild the brekeu con LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debit ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-do s ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irrttabiii y, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, liys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from whatever cau e arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible.
