CEimung psjsatd). AUGUST A. GA: Friday Evening, April 9, WSB. Strange- Disclosure*. Diabolical Effort to Slow up the Western & . Atlantic Rail Road by Meant of a Torpedo. The Cassvilla- Standard—very good au thority iu matters relating to Cherokee Democracy, and therefore, of course posted on all that relates to the State Road—thus gravely describes “astrange yet simple fixture that vras picked up off the Railroad track in that place on the morning of the sth inst. It was a little round tin box, about, the size of a common percussion cap, box, with two small strips of tin attach ed to the sides, to make it fit over the j track ; inside were three tubes sodered io the bottom, each one containing a. purcussion cap. The box was tilled with powder, and the tops sodered on, ami the whole was then deposited on the j track. What object was intended to be accomplished, we are unable to say, whether it was intended to blow up the train, or merely to hear the report, we are at a loss to tell: but one thing is cer tain, if it was merely to hear the report, they put themselves to a good deal ofj trouble, for but little fun ; and wheth-j er it would have blown up the train or not we cannot say. The train did pass; over it without any damage or report, but upon examination it was ascertain-! ed that the powder was wet and did j not readily ignite. So nobody was hurt, after all—and the editor is still in doubt as to the na ture and object of the “strung, yet sim ple fixture.” Had it occurred on the first of April, we should have set our friend Smith down as a victim of one of the jokes of the day—but as it happen ed on the sth we conclude that he is in dead earnest, and really was taking an' unsophisticated survey of that sulphuri-! ous little Railroad signal, known as the j • torpedo. Well, nobody was hurt, thank I. goodness for that. ! | And just here, while on railroad jokes, I 1 we must tell one on Governor Brown j * and Dr. Lewis, at the same time assum- j ] ing no responsibility for its truth. We j 1 tell the tale as it was told to us : It is well known that both the Gover nor and Superintendent aforesaid, are zealous Baptists, and quite as tenacious of their religious principles as of their c Democracy. A few weeks ago they j t undertook the very commendable, and 1 very considerable work of re-organizing t the road—of purging the Augean stable ( - ■ 11 meruries and incompetent 1 officials; Having also some “ friends te , reward,” they took along commissions . for the new appointees, and proceeded 1 up the lino of the road to deliver the ; “walking papers” to the victims of their disapprobation. Arriving at the; C e depot, whose agent is noted for his shrewdness and waggery quite as much as for any particular business qualities—they entered the office for the purpose of discharging him. They were informed by a boy in attendance that he had just stepped out, but would shortly return. In a few mintes he came up the steps singing with the most approved nacal intonations, “ I’ll lake my cross and follow iliee.’’ &c. This touched the officials of the road! in a tender spot, and without a word of censure they renewed his commission and went on their way. It is now con-1 sidered a debatable question, which, exerts the greatest influence in the management of the road, politics or religion. Mr#. Svvlsshelm Turned up Again. This strong-minded, free-spoken wo-: man, formerly editress of the Pittsburg! (Pa.) Saturday Visitor, has moved out* West, and we find her the victim of a mob in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where: she now publishes a paper also called: the Visitor. She has been treated very j scurvily by a band of ruffians, who took 1 some oftense at her editorial strictures. On the 24th ult., they broke into her office, and seized her type, scattered it through the streets, and threw a portion of it into the river. The "men, women and children” of St. Cloud turned out m masse and held an indignation meeting j They passed resolutions condemning! the ruffians who committed the outrage. They resolved that the St. Cloud Visitor j should be sustained,and that they would j sustain it. The editor of the St. Paul I Daily Times placed his office at the dis- j posal of Mrs. Swissheim, so that she; could continue her paper without in-1 terruption. Wheat Prospeet. Probably the prospect for wheat throughout the State of Georgia, and we might add, Tennessee, was never better at this season of the year than it is at present. We have seen specimens from a field in the neighborhood of this city, between two and three feet high, with the heads beginning to show them selves —and from Union Point, Madison, j Covington, Cassville, Rome, and in fact, nearly all our correspondents, in all sections, conclude their letters with— “the prospect for wheat was never bet ter.” The crop of Southern wheat, should nothing befall it, will be a most abundant one, and those who are hold ing over their old wheat for higher prices are in a fairway to be disappoint ed. flip The Grand Jury of Spartanburg have found a true bill against Gilbert Flemming for the murder of his bro ther-in-law. G. Pye Death of Carter Shepherd, We regret to learn that this gentle : man died in Madison on yesterday from j the injury received at his saw mill, no j ticed by us a few days ago. He was : thought to be recovering, when morti . i fication took place, causing his death, ! He was about fifty-five years of age, and j one of the most worthy citizens of the place.

The Methodist 1 and Presbyterian Churches were opened ,on the Sabbath, Large and intelligent , congregations were in attendance. — Death of Hon , Joel Cratvfotal. The Constitutionalist learns from a gen tleman of Columbus, who passed through j our city,yesterday, that this distinguish- i ! ed citizen of our State died at his planta- j j tion in Early county, a few days ago. ! Major Crawford was born in this j county, on the 15th June, 1783—icceiv | ed his education at a classical school I kept by the eccentric Dr. Bush,or Bush nell in Columbia county—pursued bit I legal studies in the office of the Hon. Nicholas Ware, of this city—removed, after his admission to the bar, to Milledgeville, where, for a few years,he was engaged in an extensive practice—! served -with distinction as an aid to General Floyd throughout the campaign of 1813 upon the frontier of Alabama—j was elected a few years afterwards to j Congress, then to the State Senate, from the county of Hancock, to which he had removed in 1826 —in 1828 and ! again in 1831 was a candidate for the | affice of Governor, and in his long and useful life was employed in many important public trusts, and honored i with many evidences of the confidence' and respect of the of the people ofj Georgia. He has departed to that bournefrom whence no traveller returns full of years and honors, and by his j death, one of the few remaining links | has been severed which connect us with the men whose services in the camp and! in the council illustrated the earjy his-! torv of our State. Attempted Petticoat Swindle. At Battle Creek, New York, the other' evening two gentlemen and a lady—one \ of the real skirt expanders—got aboard j the cars for Chicago. One gentleman \ and his wife had through tickets, while | the other paid his fare only to the first! station. From certain manifestations, George Waiulles, the conductor, who is! keen on scent, concluded it was the in-1 tention of the trio to dead-head one of i the party through. On arriving at Augusta, the gentlemen did not get off,! and on search being made, he was found j secreted in the ladies' saloon. He was: brought forth, and directed to leave the! train at the next station, but on arriv- j ! ing there ho was not to be found. As : ter a long and diligent search, in which i everybody bad become interested, it! was concluded lie had leaped off the train while in motion. Speculation was then rife as to his fate, when a gentle men sitting near the lady of big dimen- J sions, hinted that those hoops might there “atale unfold.” On producing a light, four feet were seen protuding from her petticoats, which it was un reasonable to suppose belonged to one person, and the lady was requested to rise, which she did after some licsita ! tion, revealing the lost passenger. | j From Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette Prom Kansas. ,| Leavenworth, K. T., March 26. This evening the delegates assembled I I for the purpose of proceeding in the . | work of framing a Constitution for the ; State of Kansas. Mr. Ewing, of Lawrence, made a mo tion, contemplating the appointment of Sixteen Standing Committees by the ! President, to draft different articles of | the Constitution. While the motion was under discus sion, the attention of the Convention 1 was called to the following resolution,! . j which was referred to a Special Com ! mittee during the session at Minncola. Resolred, That the instrument known ; ! as the Topeka Constitution he adopted , I as the work of this Convention, with the single erasure of the clause prohili ! iting amendments, and that a commit ! tee of fifteen be elected by ballot to prepare a Schedule and attach it thereto, providing for the organization of the Government under the same. The committee to whom the above . resolution was referred, reported as fol lows. To appoint sixteen committees, 1 consisting of seven members each, up i on the following named subjects: Preamble and Bill of Rights; Elective Franchise ; Legislative Departments ; j Executive ; Judiciary; Jurisprudence; | Education; Public Institutions; Public j Debt and Public Works; Militia; Fi j nance and Taxation ; Corporations ; j Amendments ; Miscellaneous Matter ; j Banks and Currency; Schedule. | Mr. Walden moved that a committee j of seven he appointed to prepare an ad- j j dress to the people of the country, to be: ■ j sent with the Constitution to Congress, . | which was concurred in by the Conven ' tion. A committee was also appointed to prepare a protest or remonstrance against the admission of Kansas into t ] the Union under the Lecompten Con l| stitution, to be presented to Congress. ! Gen. Lane has the appointment of r j the Standing Committees, and he will be careful to provide that each shall re i i port to the Convention the Topeka Con ;! stitution, with a few amendments. A large number of the delegates are in fa ’ i vor of that much abused document, ’ j called the Topeka Constitution, and are •' determined upon its re-adoption and re . ratification, by the people, as the only 1 Organic Law of the State. The Revival in Yale College, says the New Haven Register, is without a prece . j dent, so far as numbers interested arc t j concerned.

From Washington. , j Washington, April B.—ln the Senate r| to-day Mr. Slidell, of La., delivered^ ' long speech on the resolution authoriz ing a medal to be presented to Commo dore Paulding. Mr. Slidell, in the course of his speech, coudemned the t course of W. H. Walker, and also cen s sured the course of Com. Paulding. He t spoke in high terms of theability of Gen. i Ilenningsen. In reference to Cuba he t; said, although the people generally of ; that Island were anxious for annexation : to this country, yet they were not will ing to risk civil war to effect it. He i j gave it as his opinion that, for the pres ' ent, it was the best line of policy to con | tinue our negotiations for the purchase ' of Cuba, but if Spain attempted to es , | tablish a despotism in Mexico, with San -, ta Anna at its head, the United States 1: should interfere and prevent it. ’! In the House the long discussed defi , t ciency bill was defeated by a majority ,I of eight. It is probable the bill will be ’ j re-considered to-morrow. !! The Kansas bill from the Senate was >j up for consideration, but the House ad- I hered to its amendments to the bill by , | the same majority it gave upon their I I adoption last week. Late from Venezuela.

Washington, April B.—A man by the ; name of Besaucan, formerly of New Or : leans, and supposed to be temporarily j insane, made an effort to-day to shoot I the Hon.

We conversed yesterday with a very ! intelligent gentleman of this city, j j one of the officers of the American j Telegraph Company, who is among , the sufferers by the mysterious disease . which broke out in Washington City . just prior to the last Presidential inau , guration. From a condition of great | bodily vigor and a comfortable degree '. of corpulency, lie has gradually wasted j until reduced to a feeble invalid. Du > ring the many weary days of confine . ment allotted to liim, he has watched tire progress of the malady till the list j of deceased victims has reached twenty | seven, including many eminent names; . 1 and he calculates that out of a total of ! three hundred sufferers, at least one ! half are in a state of decrepitude no j better than his own. In spite of all ! theories which have been advanced by . the medical men and sanitary commit ! tees, he adheres to the belief that the fatal “epidemic,” as it was called, was , occasioned by nothing else than a ma ! | lignant mineral poisou ; and the same . I opinion is held by other sufferers with " 1 whom he was conversed. ! i Up to a recent period, he was treated by a physician of this neighborhood as , for a malarious or atmospheric poison, . with no preceptible benefit; but upon , the physicians and treatment being . changed, substituting an antidote to arsenic, favorable symptoms became at t -;once apparent, and he is now able to 1 1 leave his apartment. The conclusions . | of the examining committee, which at . t tributed the disease to noxious effluvia, Lj may have been influenced to some ex ,.: tent by the desire at tbat time existing ! to secure a large appropriation from the e city government for an extensive sys tem of sewerage, and which has since y been obtained. Whatever the origin of ; tlie disease, it 19 very difficult to satis i factorily account for all the phenomena e; attending it, especially the slew, dead jJ ly manner iu which it pravs upon the . c ! system, year after year, until the vital ! e : principle is.destroyed and the strong man prematurely cut off, unless the t _; agency of malignant mineral poison is U admitted.— Journal of Commerce. It is stated that the periodical comet discovered at Cambridge observatory on h the 4th of January, wasagain seen there n, on Friday evening last.

The adjourned session occupied very nearly the entire of last week. Among the legal fraternity, we noticed in the bar, in addition to the Greensboro' law yers, Hon. H. V. Johnson, T. 11. E. Cobb, N. G. Foster, Junius Wingfield, Col. . House and the Solicitor, W. A. 1 .ofton ■ The case of Mis; Kldcr, of Clarke county, against Alfred H. I'oullain, of 1 Greene, for seduction, excited conside rable interest. Col. N. G. Foster madej an able and eloquent appeal in behalf, of the young lady. Judge Cone spoke! i for the’defendant. The Jury hung 24 , hours upon a verdict, and finally ren dered a bill of damages for the plaintiff ’ to the amount of $2600. We learn that Poullain has since compromised the , matter with Miss Elder, by purposing to pay all costs of suit, and give her ! S3OOO. The negro of J. B. Hart, arrested on . suspicion of having committed violence upon the person of a white lady, was cleurned by proving an alibi.

Two of “our ” boys, writes a Western friend, Hi Angle and Dick Walker, emi grated to the wilds of Minnesota. Du ring the long winter evenings they went to work and made up a lot of axe helves. Being raw hands at the busi ness, the helves were anything but saleable. Going to the nearest town, they tried in vain to dispose of them at the different groceries and stores. There was one shop left, and Hi, giving Dick instructions, went in alone. Inquiring of the shopman if he had any helves, he was informed that lie had not. — Blustering up, he inquired why he did not keep such things, and told him to buy the next dozen he came across and put them one side for him. After lie had been gone some time, Dick went in and sold the helves. The shopman is , undoubtedly keeping them yet.
