(f bnmu) Xlispaftb. ATJOUSTA.GA: Saturday Evening, April 17, IS.W. (ieorgla Items. S Hawkins, who was tried last Sep tember at Calhoun, for the murder of A. W. Scott and convicted, has been sen tenced to be hung on the 21st of May. Edward Baivton, at the Superior Court I In Calhoun, was convicted of Larceny, | and sentenced to the Penitentiary for: five j^ars The citizens of Cass County, have! subscribed SIO,OOO towards a fund for; the Cherokee Baptist College. From the Atlanta American, we learn j that the present term of the Superior Court now in session in that city, has in-! deed been one “of terror to evil doers. , On Thursday evening two notorieties, John Hewitt and Joseph Gaddt, were! Sentenced, the former to three and the' latter to two years in the Penitentiary.' A man named Thompson was also sen- i tenced to two months imprisonment in ] the County Jail for stealing a pistol.— True Bills have also been found against! Jones and Cobb for complicity in the I murder of Mr. Landrum. It is hoped ] the parties in pursuit of Crocket are dose upon him and will return in time to have his case adjudicated next week. ■■ ■ - —-O-o Frost. As we feared, this unwelcome visitor intruded himself upon the up-country last Wednesday night. The country papers generally express a hope that the cold was not severe enough to do much damage. 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- ’ ing business intercourse exists. , Through Arrangement.

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. The name of the post office at Birdsville, Burke county, Georgia, has been changed to that of Henderson. gsf’Mnney commands from four to se ven per cent, a month in Kansas, well secured on real estate.

Hook Table. 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. Georgia Medical Society. Tills Society met in Madison on Wed I nesdav, and organized by calling Dr.: H. F Campbell, of this city to the Chair, ] Dr. Eden Hiu.ir.it, of Rome, to act as ] Secretary. An election of officers for! the ensuing year resulted as [follows : President—Dr. Jos. P. Logan, of At-; ianta, 25; Dr. E. E. Jones, of Madison, G; Dr. H. F. Campbell, of Augusta, 1. j Vice-Presidents —Dr. Hugh J. Ogilby,! of Madison, and Dr. L. T. Banks of Pike, j Recording and Corresponding Secreta-1 ry and Treasurer —Dr. Eben Hillier ofl ] Rome.

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. ; I ••• Incendiaries In Newnan. j On Monday and Wednesday nights] several attempts were made to set fire | i* to buildings in Newnan. An unoccu-; ‘ | pied building belonging to Mr. Dough- ! ' j ertv, was consumed. Also a Stable ] j belonging to Col. W. F.
