flpbmhtg .Dispatch. AUGUSTA, GA: Thursday Evening, April 93,1858. Arrest of Crockett—His Confession. We learn from the Atlanta papers that officers Anherson and Carlisle, of the City Police, returned to that place on Tuesday, having in custody Raoford Crockett, one of the persons suspected of the murder of Sam'l B. Landrum, near that city, about two weeks ago.— He was arrested in or near the vicinity of Talladega, Ala. On the meeting of the Court yesterday morning, a true bill was found against Crockett, and he was immediately brought before the Bar.— Being asked by the Solicitor-General, “Arc you guilty or not guilty f" he an swered, calmly and reservedly, “I am guilty," and requested that the Court would delay passing sentence upon him for a few days, as he wished to have his father present on that solemn occasion. The Judge was much effected, and ask ed the prisoner’s counsel if he (the pris oner) was aware of the consequences at tending the confession ; and being in formed that the prisoner was immova ble in his resolution, he readily and feelingly yielded to the request. The prisoner’s counsel having intimated that he desired to make a statement, and permission being granted, Crockett briefly detailed the circumstances at tending the murder—the object of which was plunder— fully implicating John Cobb, Jr., and Gabriel Jones in its commission. He also asked that the Court would give him the longest time possible in which to prepare to meet his God. The Court and many in the audi ence were moved to tears at this touch- j ing appeal. After a few words of ad monition, the prisoner was remanded to the jail nntii Friday morning next, at 10 o'clock, by which time it is hoped that his father will have reached the I What has become of the Avgusta Evening Dispatch ? We have not receiv- i ed a number in a week. Come, friend ! Atkinson, don't deprive us of your dai ly visits ; can't do without ’em.— Cuth- j Leri Reporter. The above is one of a number of no- 1 iices of similar import, which we have received from our country friends,of the j editorial chair. We once published a Weekly ourself and therefore fully ap-1 preciate the value of a good Daily ex change,and we commenced the publica tion of the Dispatch with the resolution : of exchanging our daily, with all the i country weeklies, and have done so,till 1 very recently. On looking over our! exchange list, which had become entire ly too large, we found that in several towns where we exchanged our daily for a weekly, we had no, or very few, subscribers to the Dispatch, and a reas onable conclusion was that our sheet was not appreciated in those localities. We decided to reduce it in accordance with these views, and send our weekly as an exchange, instead of the daily. We should be pleased to accommodate our distant brothers who so warmly allude to the lossof our daily, withau exchange but really we cannot afford to send our daily in single packages to distant week ly exchanges Our brothers might easily induce some of their friends to take a paper with which they seem so well pleased.

Accounts from every section of the western country, without exception, represents that the wheat crop looks more promising than in any spring for the last ten years. It is well up, covers the ground well, is well set, good color, and the number of acres of it is prodigious. Statement of the Captain of the Barque Ahriatio.— Capt. Durid m, mas ter of the barque Adriatic, has made a justificatory statement of his course with the French authorities, to Congress and people of the United States, from which we take the following extract : ‘‘After confiscating my vessel, freight and 2,000 francs of my own private property, feeling my case a hard one, and that I had been deeply wronged, I deemed it just to myself urd to the owners of the Adriatic, knowing not at what moment I might he arrested and placed in prison, for the ralue of the Lyonnaise (1,500,000 francs.) to at tempt an escape. Accordingly I left the port of Marseilles with the Adriatic (withoutasking leave) and arrived in the port of Savannah, in the United States, on the 18th of M. reb, 1808, after an absence of more than 18 months,and a pecuniary loss of much more than the! value of my vessel. —-—— (Icorgia Items.

Hon. Edward Everett. I During Mr. Everett’s recent South i exn tour he has been received with a cordiality amounting to enthusiasm in every locality, and by nearly the entire Southern press. The Richmond South, Athens Banner and Columbus Sun, con stituting exceptions to this general rule, their chief hostility to Mr. Everett being his assumed endorsement of the Sumner sympathy. The welcome ex tended this distinguished scholar and patriot, in South Carolina, will pvoba • bly convince these warm-blooded cham pions of Southern honor, that their 6en • sitiveness is not much appreciated among the friends of the lamented Brooks, who ought certainly to be the , very first to resent any disrespect to his memory, and who are certainly compe tent to comprehend their duties in the premises. Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Waynesboro’, Ga. , April 21,1858. This time honored seat of justice is full to overflowing of persons in atten dendance upon the Superior Court.

The Charleston News, thus speaks of the session and of its closing incidents. j The closing session of this Convention, which was held this morning at nine • o’clock, was characterized by a degree s of deep feeling and impressive interest r | which might have been anticipated j from such a body, on such an occasion. ’ The Convention lias called to our city, , on a brief business tour, a class of deep- J f ly pious aud intelligent young men, as well as those of maturer years, from all | sections of the country, presenting, as a . deliberative assembly, a most impres sive and interesting spectacle. The ut - most harmony and good feeling, with i an occasional spice of humor and repar -3 tee, have pervaded the deliberations of this body throughout its entire proceed -8 ings, and the manifestation of feeling i at parting, this morning, though be-1 tween acquaintances of a day, who had never met before, and never may again, i 1 was deep and unfeigned. 5 A large number of the delegates ex ’ pressed their appreciation of Charleston hospitality in the most warm and r enthusiastic terms, and looked forward J with pleasing anticipation to the time | when they might be enabled to return " it with usury. Much business of inte-; rest to the confederation and to the ( friends of the cause everywhere, was • transacted, and we only regret that our j time and space will not permit us to lay 1 a more extended notice of the proceed- ! | ings before our readers. Many of the : | delegates are not only men of intellect • j and talent of a high and commanding order, but are, at the same time, pos- i j sessed of rare powers of eloquence.— ! Someof the addresses last evening would | have done honor to, and reflected credit upon the most grave and dignified | deliberative body. The Convention adjourned at about 1 o’clock, with a closing jubilee or de ■ votional meeting, which was invested j with a power, feeling and interest un usual on such occasions. Some of the :, delegates left yesterday, but the main body will leave this afternoon, many of whom will look wistfully back upon j the warm hearts and sunny clime they ’ are leaving, perhaps never to visit them J again.

As an illustration of the manner in j which some things are done in New j York, aud the tone of morals there, a correspondent of a Boston paper recites the following case : “ A married woman in this city be came enamored with a man, who was also married, and had a family. The at tachment, pretendedly platonic, led to the separation of the woman from her husband, and the desertion of his wife by the man. The parties lived at the same (hotel together, and though the lady boarders did not like tho looks of things, and complained to the landlord, the season passed away with no great outbreak. But tilings could not long remain in thiscondition. It was agreed that the husband of the woman should on the payment of a liberal sum of ! money to him, allow himself to be seen in a house of ill fume,and on that ground 1 she was divorced from the man. By a - liberal sum on the other side, an ar , rangement equally accommodating was . entered into, and a divorce was granted to the man. Then the couple who had been unyoked, became husband and wife—had a great flourish of trumpets : about the celebrated wedding—took rooms at a famous hotel in New York — and have their movements telegraphed as those of the first people in New York. Such is New York life, and with the stringency of our divorce law, the dis posed can get loose from the nuptial vow quite easy. Spain—Santa Anna and Mexico. Advices received from Vera Cruz, of a late date, states that, with the sixteen officers, leaders in a projected Santa An na movement in Mexico, who were ar rested on board the British steamer Dee, at Tampico, on the 31st ult., letters were taken, tending to show that Santa Anna had entered into an arrangement: with Spain to subjugate the Mexican re public, and to establish a monarchy, or jto make it a foreign dependency. The j New noticing one of the letters from Santa Anna, dated St. I Thomas, March 19, 1858, says : It directs Srs. D. Rafael de Rafeal and i Pedro I\ Velel at once to proceed to Havana, visit the Captain General; to represent to him the dangers with which the city of Mexico is threatened from “the demagogues that if Vera Cruz had fallen into “their” power— his own and Concha’s—the cause would j have been gained, and good Mexicans : would have blessed the hand that aided j them; and that if lie (Concha) abandons I them, all will bo lost. They are then I directed to apply to him for 2000 vol unteers, to embark at San Carlos, for j the purpose of attacking La Llave, and (enabling Vera Cruz to pronounce.— (Should this be refused, they arc to ask jhirn to give them a steamer to take; them to the bar of Tecolutla, whence j they are to proceed as rapidly as possi ble to Mexico, while she waits for their ] return. Should this also be refused, they are to endeavor to get to Tecolutla! and Mexico, as best they tan, and there do their utmost with “ the provisional government,” to put an end to the rev olution in the terms authorized, and to arrange with Gen. Corona for his land ing at any port that may be deemed best, aud to cultivate his friends, Dr. D. Francisco Javier Miranda, Aguilar, Os ollos, Perez Gomez, &c., assuring them that nothing will be left undone to counteract the mischief done by “Com j onfortand his band.” The instructions close with directions respecting the! management of the *IO,OOO, and loans that may be wanted. I The Hlack Martin. Mr. Editor : Though the columns of your wide spread and useful paper, al-j ! low me to communicate to its readers San important fact in relation to the ‘ above named little birds. It is gener | ally known thatduring their incubation i they serve a valuable purpose in chas | ing away the hawks from the poul try ; yards ; but I have good reasons to be | lieve they are abundantly more valua ; ble in preserving bacon from the skip | per fly and all other winged insects that infest our smoke houses during the spring and summer months in this cli mate. Last year, for the amusement of my children,l prepared and fixedupona pole some gourds for the accommodation of these little songsters, for which in a few hours they amply paid us with their cheerful concerts. By accident I placed the pole near the smoke house, and for the want of suitable boxes I did notj pack up my bacon to prevent flies from troubling it, as I had done before for years. During the spring and summer I heard no complaint about skippers, hairy wormE aud other pests of the ba con. My wife remarked that she had not been troubled with any of these tilings during the year, still we did not know how to account for this singular exemption ; but in tbe fall the storm blew down my pole and gourds, and re vealed to me the secret,for in each gourd there was from one-half to a pint of in digestible fly skins—the excrement of the j’oung. So well convinced am lof ! their great utility, that I never expect i to be without them.— Wire-Grass Reporl Terrible Ravages ol Yellow Fevei. _ New York, April 16. —Before the ar rival of the U.
