New Canadian Coinage.—Canada has
just adopted a Decimal Currency. The
new coins have been prepared at the
English mint, and the first consignment
is daily expected to arrive. The silver
coiusgc consists of five, ton, and twenty
cent pieces. Cents have also been j
struck. As yet no quarters have been
coined , but the convenience attending ,
their use will soon add them to the list, j 1
This change will be an accommodation,
cot only in Canada, but also in our fron -!,
tier States, between whose inhabitants 1
aud the Canadians a large and increas- ’

IST Col. Fremont Beaten.—The Su j
premo Court of California has decided
the case of Biddle Boggs vs. the Merced
Mining Company—reversing the judg
ment of the Court below. The question
involves the title of Fremont to the
mineral wealth of his Mariposa claim.—
The Court decideß against Fremont, aud
that a fee simple to land does not carry
with it the title to the gold extracted
therefrom. This is considered a great
triumph for the miners.
Not Jessie.—The New American Cy
clopedia, in its biographical notice of
Mr. Benton, gives the name of Mrs.
Fremont as Ann Benton —not Jessie. As
the paragraph in that articlegiving the
names of Mr. Benton's family was writ
ten by him, and set up from his own
manuscript, it is fair to suppose that
Jessie is merely a nick name.

j Bench and Bar of Georgia : Memoirs
and Sketches, by Stephen F. Miller.
We are indebted to its accomplished
; author for a copy of this work, with the
general character of which the public
are somewhat familiar, tnrough the
popular extracts from its pages in the
newspapers. These volumes embrace
piquant and truthful sketches, anec
dotes, and descriptive reminiscences of
i the leading spirits of the bar of Geor
| gia. With many of these the author
j was familiar during their lives, and
many others he had heard speak, or in j
j some way gained a knowledge of their j
! i characteristics and biography. To this
| wide acquaintance he has brought the |
j :l id of others, aud thus brought togeth
er a collection of information highly in
j teresting and readable, if not yet alto
i gether as complete and perfect as might
! be desired.
We have marked a number of arti
! cles for publication in our columns, and
| perhaps cannot better conclude this
crude notice than by introducing a brief
! extract from his memory of Robert Au
! orsTFS Beall, who read law in Augusta
] about the year 1821, in the office of
| Judge Montgomery :
! Pleased with the opening before him
! iu political life, Maj. Beall gave more
attention to the voters of his county
than he did to the practice of the law.
On questions purely legal, his briefs,
though more than respectable, did not
do justice to bis abilities. Labor was
irksome as a habit, and he trusted too
much to off hand inspiration to cope
with such veterans us Shorter,Torrance
Lamar, S. Rockwell, Prince, Strong and
others of the like class, who often mens
ured strength witli him. Before the jury
Maj. Beall was in his proper element,
lie was well acquainted with the human
heart, and could touch every passion
with the skill of a master. He was self
possessed and dignified in manner, with
a vein of satire that scorched, and the
faculty of condensation which gave or
der and force to his arguments. As his
mind glowed with the intensity of its
| own action, some of the most brilliant
| gems dropped from his lips. His tem
perament was poetic. The dark, flash
! ing eye, flic clear cultivated voice, rol
ling its rich cadences upon the ear, the
excited passion and dai ing flight, con
stituted Maj. Beall, at times, one of the
happiest forensic orators. His moods
were not always equal. Genius is ever
erratic,—sometimes in gloomy abstrac
tion and then elated with its own di
vinity. The fortunate medium is diffi
cult to attain. The tvvo extremes were
signally illustrated in the character of
Maj. Beall. His mental and social or
ganization required constant aliment.
Hence lie was fond of society where he
could draw out congenial sentiments
and impart his own lofty nature in the
contact. The result was that he form
ed irregular habits from which he suffer
ed both in fortune and in health. He
became addicted to games of hazard, just
as Sheridan and Fox applied themselves
to keep their ardent sensibilities from
languishing in the intervals between la
bor and repose.
o a o a ea «
Previous to his marriage, Maj. Beall
was much from home on visits to his
parents in Warren county and in attend
ing courts at a distance to which he was
called, especially for the defence of per
sons of high criminal offences. This
was his forte. His pictures of distress
his withering anathemas of oppression,
his persuasive manner and melting elo
quence, seldom left the jury at a loss.—
Their sympathies and reason generally
' united in acquitting his client.
Besides the courts of his own county,
he attended some half dozen, not, how
ever, with that punctuality and relish
for business so essential to the building
up of a successful practice. In fact, he
could never submit long at a time to the
drudgery of his profession. His clients
often called at his office without an in
terview, and when they even had the'
good fortune to see him he would put
them off until the last hour aud then
wholly neglect their business or des
patch it hastily, perhaps imperfectly.
In this way his papers became confused.
He had no regular p lace for any thing,
—kept no private dockets showing the
condition of his business. Interrogato
ries, notice to produce papers, the or
dering of witnesses, and all that sort of
: preparation necessary in a cause, was
too frequently omitted. In term, when
the call of the docket roused his atten
tion, he usually had some excuse to of l
fer, which was urged with so much in-:
nocence and plausibility that the court
indulged him from day to day and of
ten granted him continuances. But,
when forced to trial,whether all his tes
timony was at hand or not, tire spirit of
the case took full possession of him.
From his zeal and readiness a casual ob
server would be apt to conclude that
the dexterous advocate had applied j
himself witli signal industry to office in-!
vestigation.
At this point of his career, Maj. Beall
offered an equal partnership to the au
thor, which he gladly accepted. This
was in November, 1828. Maj. Beall
was then recently married, and had just
returned from Milledgeville, where had
been defeated for the office of brigadier ]
general in an election to till the vacancy :
caused by the resignation of Gen. Thad
deuE G. Holt, who at that session bad
been restored to the bench from which ■
he had been swept by the political tor-!
nadoof 1826, so fatal to Troup office:
holders, by legislative action. His suc
cessful competitor was Gen. Eli Warren ]
then a Representative from Laurens j
county, but now a citizen of Houston.
He was of opinion that injustice had
been done to his claims by the Legisla
lature ; for he had a military taste, was
well versed in the discipline, and made
an admirable figure on horseback at re
views. Indeed, he was as graceful in
the saddle as he was elegant in the
drawingroom. A clumsy motion cr an
undignified attitude was never perceived
by the author during his ten years' close
intimacy with Maj. Beall He was a
splendid reader. Passages from Shaks
peare and other dramatic authors were
. given with all the conception and spirit
, of the finest tragedians. He was a great
admirer of Cooper ; and imitating no
one, but following his own genius, he
was the equal of Forrest and Macready in
: strong delineation of character, cornbin
ing the inspired energyof Kean,without
the stage auxiliaries of either of them.
> Well does the author recollect Maj.
r Beall's reading to a group of friendsthe
, celebrated debate between Haync- and
Webster, on Foote's resolution in tbe
Senate of the United States, as, it came
j fresh from the reporters in 1830. He||
■ belonged to the Carolina school of poli- j
tics ; and as the champion Haync flash-1
ed his trusty sword under the State
Rights banner, Maj. B. dwelt with spe
cial unction on passages which amount
ed,as bethought,to demonstration of the
doctrine. Theii came the majestic roll
of Webster’s drum. After days of dark
weather at sea, a glimpse of the sun was
taken and the latitude of the question
ascertained. Webster uttered thoughts
which electrified the world. Ancient or
modern times never furnished the paral
lel of li is speech on that occasion. His
dying gaze on the flag of the Union was
indeed sublime. The voice, the eye,the
excited feelings of Maj. Beall,as lie pro
, grossed in the reading,and the delight of
i she listeners, are fresh in the author's
memory. The gifted statesmen whose
words he repeated iu a.style of surpas
! sing beauty are now in the grave, and so
is the brilliant reader. Let no person
start at the association of names, Beall,
llayne, Webster; for in this order they
left the world, at the ages of thirty six, !
, forty eight, and seventy years, respec
tively.
In depth of sensibility and exalted
passion, constituting the soul of genius!
Robert Augustus Beall never, perhaps, ]
had a superior, except in Lord Byron.—]
’ This opinion may, l>y some, be termed;
extravagant ; still, the author is candid
in its avowal. He had full opportuni
ties of analyzing his character in all the
! phases of fortune and temperament. A'
high order of genius, other qualities not!
being equal, is apt to render the posses-!
sor unhappy. Sheridan aud Byron are]
, noted examples: both singularly impru
dent in the common affairs of life, and
both died under a cloud, —one in adver
sity aud the other in self imposed exile
to escape from the horrors of his own
! mind. To this class of mortals, more to
, be pitied than condemned, we assign]
the subject cf this memoir. If we ex
ceed justice to the dead, the error at:
least is no sting.

Alarming Intelligence.-—Brigham
Young threatens,if the President does not
back out, that he will send his destroy- 1
ing angels on a mission of incendiarism, '
to burn down St. Louis, New York,Chi- 1
ergo, and even Washington city itself,
capital White House and all ! This is
terrible news, truly. It must raise the :
premium on insurance policies at least j i
fifty per cent. It is to be hoped, for all i i
our sakes, that the President will “back i
| out.”
,»■
gif” Many of the Washington corres
pondents agree in saying that the Pres-:
ident will veto any bill which may he
passed admitting Kansas, that does not
substantially recognise the Lecompton
. Constitution. Such declarations, if,
’ j true, will tend toistrengthen the Anti j
' I Lecompton party, for they will construe
lit into a design to interfere with their
: freedom.
We don’t believe the President has j
ever authorised such a statement. Re
gard for individual interest, aud the
. peace and quiet of the nation, is of too
much value, to as sagacious a man as ,
James Buchanan, to he perilled by sucb
■! an assumption.

flif O x y g e uati’il Bitters.—
i The annexed statement of Prof. A. A. Hayes, M.
! D., State Assayer, is ample testimony of the
scientific manner in which this medicine is com
! pounded, and recommends 5; to professional
| men : «
I An opinion having been asked for of me, in
i consequence of the formula for preparing (Jxy
i genated Billers being known to me, 1 express
| the following in form :
j The composition of these Bitters includes those
S medicinal substances which experienced physi
cians have long resorted to for special action ou
the system, when deranged by Fevers, Dys
pepsia, Agues aud General Debility, resulting
from exposure or climate influence.
These are rendered permanent, and remain
active in this preparation, as a consequence of
the scientific manner in which they are combined.
It was a well founded inference that the pre
paration used in smaller or larger doses, would
prove a valuable General Medicine, which ex
perience has demonstrated.
In this medicine no metallic salts can be found
1 by the most delicate chemical trial.-:.
