Cv some unaccountable blunder, eitli . cr in the writer, printer, or proof-reader, —we cannot tell which, as the copy is mislaid— >we did very great injustice to a very worthy gentleman, in our paper of The 27th ult. In noticing a trial in Newton county, it was stated that J. M. Habolson was convicted of burglary. This is a gross mistahe, and the facts are as follows: Mitcham. Walker and Kemp, were tried for robbing Mr. Har olson of $1,125, and convicted. Mitch am was sent to the Penitentiary for sev en years; Kemp for six years; and Walker four years ; Walker having secured the leniency of the court by turning State's evidence. It was thro' 1 Mr. Harolson’s exertions that they were brought to punishmont. We have nev • er committed an error that caused us deeper regret, for Mr. Harolson isknown to be a gentleman, a good citizen and a reliable merchant. Notwithstanding the necessary haste with which an afternoon paper must be «umpiled, which renders it liable to typographical errors, this is a perversion of facts against which we endeavor to be eery guarded, and we respectfully ask the Type of the Times, and any paper that published the paragraph containing the mistake, to publish this disclaimer. The Kansas Bill Still Traveling. In keeping with our warm advocacy of the Lccompton Constitution, an ad vocacy based not so much on any appre ciation of the merits of the bill itself. ' as on a desire, common to all, that thisj protracted and profitless struggle about : Kansas should be settled* where it com- J menced, in Kansas—we had hoped ere this to announce the passage of the Sen ate bill through the House. In this hope and expectation the friends of the bill have been disappointed by the an nouncement, that the amendment of j Mr. Crittenden, rejected in the Senate! on the 24th of March, by a vote of 24 ayes, to 34 nays, had been substitutedj in the House and passed. A tolegraphic dispatch iu another j place announces that the Crittenden 1 amendment, passed by the House, has 1 1 been rejected by the Senate, by a ma jority of nine, and the Senate hill now returns to the House for their further reconsideration. Both Houses had ad journed over to Monday, for further consultation, when the question will come up again. We dare not express the hope that the House will retrace the steps taken against - this measure, and shall be agreeably disappointed if they do. Should Kansas lie rejected we see j no other reasonable light in which to j regard it, than a violation of the- posi- i tion laid down in the Georgia platform, and indubitable proof that the North j are determined to forestal the admis-! sion of more slave States. We cannot doubt that Governor Brown will do his I duty in such an emergency, by calling I a convention of the people—what they | will do, remains to he seen.

We are pleased to learn that a duel, I which was in contemplation between j | two distinguished Alabamians, which ! was to come off near this city, has been j amicably settled without resort to the ; use of villainous saltpetre. —Columbus j Papers. The duel referred to above is, we pre- : j sume, one that was contemplated by Mr. , j Hoopre of the “ Montgomery Mail," i and Mr. Duval, formerly of “ The Ad- ] j \vertmr” of that city. i c gif’ A correspondent of the Macon c State Press, in a letter from Houston j county, gives an account of a very f shocking affair, which he says occurred in the 6th district of that county, on ? last Monday. The citizens were sum moned to the residence of a young la- s dy, (Miss F. H ) to see her breathe her c last. The ladies who officiated in dress- J ing the dead body, discovered to their t astonishment, that she had, a short < time before, given birth to a child, ’ which was not to be seen or hoard of. \ I Searcli being made, the child was found t lin an old store room, deposited in a has 1 t ■ ketof cotton, witli a strong cotton cord j ; passed aiound its neck twice, and the ( ] ! infant choked to death. Affairs In France. It is evident, says the Richmond Du- . \ patch, that affairs in France are in a I I ticklish condition. The Parisian popu- j j lation are proverbially fond of change. The restless steed, however, has a cool 1 ' and determined rider, and unless all ' ! his antecedents belie him, he will not ] be unhorsed without a desperate strug- I gle. The people of France have over i and over again manifested their confi ■ deuce in Louis Napoleon, but a period i ical frenzy of levolution is cbaracteris- I tic of the mob of Paris, which rises at , times with as great fury as an ocean ' storm, and subsides like that when its wrath is expended, without a why or a I wherefore for the tempest or the calm. . i The friends of rational liberty have no .! thing to hope from a successful insurrec tion in Paris. It would end, as others before it, in a Republic of a month, fol lowed by a Monarchy, possibly the res- ] toration of a Bourbon to the throne.— ! The Count de Chambord is living iu i I hopes, which are as likely to he gratified as those of any Republican aspirant. Texas Public l,ands. An act has been passed by the Texas Legislature, which has received the ap proval of the Governor of that State, and is now a law, opening the entire domain of the State to sale at fixed prices.

The following story which we find in the Memphis Ledger, should propeily be published on the Ist of’April, but like many good things, it will not bear keeping : The following remarkable circum stance is now the subject of considera ble excitement in Columbia county, Ar kansas, and the facts as set forth are said to be literally true. We have heard of navigating the air by machines driven by electricity and by steam, but this extraordinary story beats anything we ‘ ever went a-fishing.” Read it all ye St. Thomasi s : Oak Grove, Columbia City, Aiik., February 2(3, 1858. j Editors Memphis Evening Ledger, —Gents: Our section of the country has been thrown into considerable excitement, within the past few days, by the most unheard-of affair that was ever kuown. At first, no one would believe it, until ■ the man, Mr. Ben Jones, produced such proof that tho most sceptical were fully [ convinced that it was true. The facts arc these. On Thursday evening last, ’ some persons were working iu afield, l (burning logs) some eight miles north . of this place. Their attention was at tracted by singnlar looking object flying through the air at a most astonishing ' rate. They ceased work, and watched it until it came fully int i view, when, to their astonishment, 4t proved to be a kind of balloon drown by wild geese. 1 The geese flew languidly, aud after a few circles they alighted in a field near the one in which the laborers were at work. They rushed up, and when they arrivod found a man standing up, hold ing to the balloon to keep it from rising I The crowd soon gathered about him, | and elicited the following facts. He had witnessed the ascension of an aeronaut iu Bt. Louis some time past, and since that period had been experi menting in various ways upon the sub ject. He lived in Harrison county, Missouri,and near his house there was a large lagoon setting in from the ' rivei. Numbers of wild fowl covered the water, when a mild spell of weather set iu, and the ice melted, leaving the water free. During a late thaw he set a net and succeded in drawing thirty wild geese into the trap. He manufac tured a balloon sufficient to sustain j some five hundred pounds, and when !he finished it he formed the idea of at taching the geese to it. Accordingly Ihe fabricated a set of harness which, j without being heavy, was sufficiently [strong, and then took the whole into | the meadow near by. He carried his ] acids and iron during the day, and on 1 tile following morning lie commenced 1 inflating his machine. Tn a few hours it was filled with hydrogen gas, and he ! | began to stone it ; which done, he se- 1 (cured his steeds, and getting in, cut the 1 cord which confined the balloon, ft at J once arose, the birds being very much ’, frightened, because entangled in their t harness, and created a good deal of eon- . fusion. Gradually, however, by stocking the ! cords which attached them,he got them , into line, as the machine arose in the ' air, the flying steeds straighted them selves out in a line and commenced cir 1 eiing. A few times they sailed around ' the field and then laid their course for j the West. A smart breeze now began , to blow, and the birds altered their course, uttering their peculiar c.iy, and stood towards the Southwest. His sen sation he described as delightful, dart ing through the air with lightning speed, and without fear? as lie well knew by easing it of gas lie could de scend. The birds now rose some half a mile above the earth, and after an hour or two appeared to have lost all fear.— He passed over fields and farm houses, and could see the people running out to gaze after him, wonderstuck He could see numerous streams of water, and as he had a compass with him, he knew- the course lie was travelling. He passed over Miss uri river, and iris course stood towards the Southeast. — When about eight hour out, he saw a large stream of water, and knew tie was i over the Mississippi, as there were two I boats in sight. Again the birds turned j their course, and night came on. By j the course of the wind he .thinks that! they turned once in the night, towards! the Northwest, hut again steered South, j He kept on in flight until 8 o’clock the next morning, when lie commenced let ting off the gas, and as the balloon Bank the geese did the same, until they alighted, as we have stated. However improbable this story may seem, it can be attested to by many witnesses, and they are men of integri ty. Respectfully, Wm. C. Johnson. How (tie Forgers Manage, The Salem (Va.) Register, in alluding to tho Gish forgeries, says : At our last issue, the minimum sum of operations was set down at $190,000. Some men of much respectability, and undoubted veracity and integrity in the county, have already confessed that they knew from 0 to 12 months ago, that this tiling of forging was going on. Their own names had been forged, and they even suffered themselves to be sue i and judgments obtained upon the paper ; and for personal feelings and dalicacy they refrained from exposing him. Numbers of persons will be bro ken entirely up, while others will suffer severely. The amount of his liabilities iB now mentioned as over $300,000, and every day, of late, has brought to light something more of the enormity of the matter. This man seems to have possessed un usual abilities of deception and of gain ing the confidence of the people. For instance, Col. Wingfield, who is known to be one of the shrewdest of men, is involved to his pecuniary ruin, we un derstand. Col. W. became alarmed some time since,- and told Gish so.— Thereupon the latter told him he might draw up any kind of a paper that he might choose, that would make him entirely safe, and he would give him the best names upon the paper in Bed ford and Roanoke. He did so, and in due time the paper, properly signed and fixed, was returned, received, and ♦he Col. since then felt quite safe, untii the gathering thunder broke in peals over his head. The whole thing tnrn6 out a fogery “ You’ve destroyed my piece of mind,” said a desponding lover to a truant lass. ”It can’t do you much ! harm, John, for ’ twus an amazing small piece yon had, any way V was the ! quick reply. Muggins says Job’s turkey was fat compared with an old gobler he shot lust week on the Devil’s Fork. That was so light it lodged in the air, and be had to got a pole to knock it | down!

We extract from a letter in the Ab beville Press, the following sketch of| the Roswell Cotton Mills, in Cobb county,! Ga., which will give our readers some idea of the manufacturing resources ot the Empire State of the South : j “Wevisited the Rmrell Cotton Mills,' in Cobb county, Ga. These mills, give j; employment to between three and four hundred boys and girls, thereby afford-1 ing sustenance to a class of people, who| otherwise might suffer. In the picking j room there are seven machines, prepar-, 'mg the cotton for the cards; it is then ' conveyed to the carding room and pre- l pared for the spinning machines. There i are 5,472 spindles, and 80 operatives in i this department; each spindle turns off c 8 1-2 hanks a day—all are cap spindles, t the best in use. 'in the reeling room, c there are 20 machines; 45 operatives , turn off 150 cuts a day. There are 3 frames for seizing, and 3 operatives; 120 looms in tire weaving department, each loom weaving 35 yards per day— 1 which is 4,200 yards daily ; 25,200 t yards a week. This machinery is all t turned by water power—overshot wheel. j The wheel is 20 feet in diameter, and , 18 feet on the face—it is all iron except ( the arms—it cost over $5,000. The cap ital invested iu this mill is $300,000. 15. King & Co., are the proprietors of both these mills. Mr. Hugh McClean, is the superintendent of both.

They also have a rope factory,; where they use up all the waste lint,! which is a great economy. Mr. McClean says that some of their; machinery was made in their own shops, lie appears to he a great machinist, and studies economy to perfection These factories are a credit to the State of i Georgia, and speak well for their pro prietors, and what can he done in tile South. They sell some of their yarn to factories in the North.” ©- .Liability of Hotel Keepers. An important decision has just been pronounced by Judge Eggleston of the Filth District Court, in the case of Pope vs. Hall & Hildreth, of the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans. The plaintiff put up at the St. Charles Hotel, in November, 1857. While there his room was entered at night, ; and his watch valued at S2OO, and gold i coin to the amount of $l4O were stolen. . The defendants pleaded, in bar to the suit : public notices posted by them in the rooms and conspicuous parts of the hotel, to the effect that they would not i be responsible for money, watches, or other valuables, unless deposited with the clerk. The Court held that the defendants were liable for any loss, unless occasion ed by the force of arms ; that their lia bilily was fixed by law, and that they could not limit it by any public notice, defining their responsibility. They have no right to require a traveller to ■ deposit his money,, watch, etc., with 1 their clerk. It is their duty to keep ' honest servants, and exert vigilance over all persons coming into the hotel as guests or otherwise. Judgment is accordingly given for plaintiff.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR teIAL. —The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric lluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which was a load 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 amt 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, fbornc down and dispirited by tl.at ten ible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unuatural 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 bauds of medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir bas a diroct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. While it renews the strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire for the solid materia’ j which is to bo subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pbarmacopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its cn* joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious w orth 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- 1 bility or from the weakness of a single organ j will all find immediate and permanent relief from j the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard l against that terrible unlady. There are many! perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- j tion that they think themselves beyond the reach J of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- j ference to the causes, and will not ouly remove j the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-1 stitution IA)SS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush ; of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ' ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-de-: s’ructipn, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys- j pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fc- j males, decay of the propagating functions, hys j teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of j the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from | whatever came arising, it is, if there is any reli- j ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute-; ly infallible.

Dyspepsia, and nu merous other Complaints, described in another 1 column, besides which it is one of the greatest ! preparations or cures for consumption, taken in i early stages, that is now known. We take it for granted, as experiment has prr. ! ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated system, caused by the improper action of the liver, which reduces the power of the lun.s to resist or throw off diseases caused by cold and irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this disease, because the liver has incapacitated them from performing their proper action @f throwing off diseased matter caused by cold. Thus to prevent consumption, cure the liver j and keep the system strong enough to throw off: slight diseases of the lungs. There is not in the world a better liver reme dy or a cure for debilitated system than Dr. | Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully tried in a large and extended practice till its results are fully known, and now it Is offered as a tried remedy, aud one that can be relied on Lan caster Whig mb9 skto 3b?rtiscnunts. : GRAND CONCERT : BV Mrs, Annie Thomas Sholl.
