Setting psjiatcjj. AUGUSTA, GA: Friday Evening, April ‘43,1858. Georgia Item*. The Atlanta Intelligencer says, that William Cobb, the brother of Jobs Cobb, now in jail—indicted for the mur der of Landrum— was arrested on Wed nesday last,for passing counterfeit mon ey. His case was taken before Judge Bill and continued until next term,and he was permitted to go out on bait for twenty five hundred dollars. Failing I to obtain secuiity, at an opportune mo ment ho fled from the Court House, and ( attempted to make his escape. We are however, glad to learn, that on yester day, he was again arrested, some six or eight miles from this city, by Deputy Sheriffs, Green and Osburn, and is now ' committed to jail. The Temperance Crusader learns that a young man, calling himself Wilcox, a student in the school of the Rev. J. W. Reid, at Philomath, died a few days since, and upon his death bed, confessed that he had been misrepresenting his real name, because lie said that he had committed murder in Louisiana, and had fled from home. He had been sent to Georgia, by his parents, with money 1 and instructions to have him sent to a i good school. He requested Mr. Reid to 1 write to his friends in Louisiana and tell them of his death. A missionary is wanted for the Cen tral Africa Mission, under the patronage 1 of the Foreign Mission Board,Richmond j' Va., and to be sustained by the Western 11 Baptist Association, Georgia. I The citizens of St. Mary and Camden , county, are much interested on the sub- j ject of a railroad connection with Sa- j vannah, and on the 4th of next month j j are to have a meeting to consider the ways and means of forming it. |?T Opposition to the charges of the Wheeling Gas Company is running pretty high. A few nights since a mass-meeting of the citizens was held at the Court House, which was brilliant ly illuminated with lamps burning car bon. pine and silvic oils, and tallow dips. A tallow candle procession tliro' the streets also followed. (if 1 It is stated that between the first j of January and the middle of February, j nineteen women were burnt to death in ( Great Britain, whose clothes took fire in j consequence of expansion bv hoops. : — (IT A new German newspaper has just been established at Memphis, Ten., by Louis Wunderman, Esq., recently of Baltimore. It is called the Southern Ad vertiser, and published strictly on the independent principle. IU Cincinnati owes a debt of three millions eight hundred and sixty-nine thousand dollars, and owns property to the value of about one million five hun dred thousand dollavs. So says an ex change. B<r Both houses of the Virginia Le gislature passed a bill, at the recent session, providing for the employment, at the discretion of the Governor, of free negro convicts in the Penitentiary, on the public works, and to make the same disposition of slaves sentenced to transportation. This will relieve the States south of Virginia from the sale into their limits of slaves convicted of felony. ».«. The Things we are- Buying. The foreign imports continue to show a large falling off, as compared with previous years. Thus— Week ending April 18th, 1857. .$3.289,e92 “ “ 1 58.. .2.199,269 Decrease *1,090,423 In glancing over the items in our bill of purchases for last week, the most no ticeable thing is the almost total disap pearance of the luxuries. The heaviest item on the list is sugar, of which we imported upwards of half a million of dollars worth. Tea comesnext—s2s6,- 272. Tobacco and cigars are still in demand. Os the former, we bought to the value of $15,539; and of the latter, $18,851. Coffee, $233,289. (N. B No chicory on the list this week.) —New York Express. - An old horse, lame and unfit for ser vice, was lately killed, in England and cut up for the hounds of its owner. The butcher took out the heart for some young hounds ill of distemper, and in cutting it up, his knife struck against some hard substance, which he found to be a blacksmith’s shoeing nail, fully 2 1-2 inches long, embdeded in the heart.- The nail had never been clinched, but was nearly straight, and it looked as if it had been rejected by a smith on try ing it in a shoe. At Monongahela city, Penn., a drun ken fellow having beaten his children, driven his wife out of doors, and carried in the night air a child of his sick with the scarlet fever,his neighbors gathered, took him from his bed, carried him to the Monongahela river, and ducked him until he promised to reform. Wm. Cullen Bryant, of the New York Evening Post, succeeds the late John Greig, as Regent of the Xew York Uni versity. The duel fought in the environs of Paris by Mr. Calhoun, of South Caroli na, Secretary of Legation, and Mr. Dre voort, of New York, was on account of a conflicting admiration for the fair sex Mr. Calhoun was the challenging party, having been struck by bis adver **r7' _____ A correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin states that Col. Benton died poor, contrr -y to the general opinion of his means. A mortgage of SIO,OOO up on his home in Washington will almost absorb the value of the property. The horses which were presented by the merchants of Boston to General Pierce, previous to his inauguration as President of the United States, were sold on Friday at public auction. They cost the merchants $1,500, but sold foi $445, which was considered very cheap, although the animals were eleven oi twelve years old. [communicated.] True Success. When the good die the people mourn, and a rational Philosophy as well the Oracles of Holy Writ, teach the loss to be the community’s, not the dead s. Hence it is permitted to grieve, for even lie “ in whom dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,” wept at the grave of Lazarus, his friend. We mourn our loss in the death of one of Savannah’s oldest and best citizens, Mr. Sheldon C. Dinning, who in former years was well known in Augusta,and wherever known, beloved for all the Christian graces | which elevate humanity. The kindly sympathies of a true friend, the wise counsels of a mind of extensive observa tion, and long experince, and the exalt ed standard of the domestic circle which it was the writer’s happiness fre quently to enjoy. All these have past away, but the vir tues which adorned a long life of near ly four score years,will continue to live in the memories of an extensive ac quaintance. How few have lived to better purposes and ends. If men are to be judged by deeds,how blest his future. What an example in life to the young, and what a lesson in death to the aged. Death had no ter rors for him— truly— w He drew the drapery of his couch about him, Aud laid dowu to pleasant dreams.” Peace to the hallowed ashesof the man who has taught by practical example, 1 the great truth, that true success is | i that only which results in a preparation | for death.. A success above the worldly glory of the Warrior—the fleeting fame of the statesman, and the pride and pomp of an Autocrat, for these all per ish ; consumed like the dewdrops upon j I the flowers, which cease to sparkle be- j cause they are not, and like Dives | j prove a lamentable failure. “All religion has relation to life, and the life of Religion is to shun evils, and to do good.” The life of our friend was j an illustrious example of true success, j for blessed are the dead who die iu the j Lord from henceforth : yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their la- j hors ; and their works do follow them. -- j For tile Cure of AVhooplng Cough, j A correspondent of the New York ; Evening Post furnishes the following ' | receipt for the cure of the whooping j | cough : The best kind of coffee prepared as for the table, and give a common drink ( - to the child as warm as can be drank ; j and a piece of alum for the patient to lick as soon as it may wish. Most cliil ! dren are fond of alum, and will get all they need without being urged ; but if they dislike it they must be made to - taste of it eight or ten times in the e | course of a day. It will effectually break up the worst case of whooping cough in a very short time. To adults and children in the habit of taking cof fee, the remedy is good for nothing. Congressional. The Chair submitted a memorial from t i the citizens of Utah, asking that the : territory be admitted into the Union as ’. | a State, (a constitution accompanies the ‘ memorial. Laid on the table and or • dered to be printed. a j Mr. Benjamin presented a memorial j . from the grand jury and members of L , the bar of the Washington Criminal Court, remonstrating against any action e by which Judge Crawford would be f deprived of his office Mr. Houston spoke in favor of his bill for extending a protection over Mexico. After pointing ou t the difference between r the northern aud southern bounding i (States of the Union, he went on to de fine his plan and show the benefits that ] would accrue both to the Union and \ Mexico. The protectorate must be Belt j supporting, the protected paying the I expenses, which she could do by assign j ing her revenue for ten yjars. | Our Gulf Squadron is sufficient to ’ | protect her commerce, and five thous- j ‘ i and reliable troops judiciously posted - would preserve internal order. , Mr. Houston explained the circum stances under which Mexico funded her J | debt of $55,000,000, which is mostly (Owing to British creditors. All that j [ Great Britian can reasonably expect, in j , the event of the proposed protectorate is that we shall see that the portion of the customs set apart towards the pay . ment of the debt and dividends is faith -1 fully appropriated to said purpose. ; Mr. Houston proceeded at somo length ; and in the course of his remarks, paid a ! , feeling tribute to his former companions ; t in the Senate, now all passed away. , The Senate resumed the consideration -of the Deficiency Appropriation bill.

LINES. IJT JEXXY WOODB.XE. I This earth is very beautiful. 1 love its rippling streams ; Aud 'mid its cool and shaded nooks I dream my sweetest dreams. I love to steal aside from all .lust at the close of day. When evening shadows softly fall, And muse the hours away. I love to linger near the brook, As o’er its pebbly bed 3 It wanders quietly along, I dream of them —the deed ! > And as it glideth softly clear, In low, not boisterous glee, 1 Full many voices in my ear Seem whispering to rne. I love lu wander near i'ue shade Where bloom the violets rare : They whisper pleasant tales of one As beautiful as lair. For they are blooming now above The quiet graSsy bed Where lies the Axxik of my love 1 .Among the peaceful dead. ( I Jove the little birds that sing Upon some green-leaved tree For every note they send to heaves All tell of her to me. j 1 She loved the birds—the little birds— She love i each woodland song, But sweeter than bird music now 1 1 Greets her iu yonder thong. I ( . I love the gorgeous sunset clouds— \ The calm and stilly oven ; She gazed upon them with me, ere ! < Her spirit went t* Heaven. j , And now while thus I gaze aloft, At t wilight's peaceful hour; ( She comes and sits beside me oft, My life’s one star—it’s flower. This earth is very beautiful— I love, I love it all; i But patiently I'd antwer to The kind death-angeFs call: For then I'd clasp the one once more i Who to my youth was given. Oh. yes ! the earth is fair, I know, . I Yet fairer still is Heaven. The Field of Blood of Canton, j Threading our way under the guidance! _ of some experienced friend, we come to i ’ a carpenter’s shop, fronting the entrance I! Ito a email potter's field. It is not aj< jrood in area, of an irregular sliape,j] resembling most an oblong. A row of; , cottages open into it on one side : there! ]is a wall on the other. The ground is j 1 covered with half baked pottery : there 1 j are two wooden crosses formed of un- j 1 ; barked wood standing in an angle, with; a shred of rotting rope hanging from ], one of them. There is nothing to fix; ! the attention of this small enclosure, |' except that you stumble against a hu- • j man skull now and then as you walk.: along it. This is the Aceldama, the!, ! field of blood, the execution ground of; j Canton. Tliu upper part of that car- 1, peuter’s shop is the place where nearly ;all the European residents have, at the (price of a dollar each, witnessed the : j wholesale massacres of which Europe I j has heard with a hesitating scepticism. It was within this yard that that ’ monster Yeh has within two years de-j( ; strayed the life of 70,000 fellow-beings. | < (These crosses are the instruments to], j which those victims were tied who; ‘ ] were condemned to the special torture : of being sliced to death. Upon one ' of these the wife of a rebeWGeneral was [Stretched, and by Yeh’s order her flesh I was cut from her body. After the bat- 1 tie at Whampoa the rebel leader es caped, but his wife fell into the hands] of Yeh—that was how he treated his ■ (prisoner. Her breasts were first cut off, , I then her forehead was slashed and vhe . (skin torn down over the face, then the . fleshy parts of the body were sliced: r away. There are Englishmen yet alive! ,; who saw this done, but at what period j . of the butchery sensation ceased, and ! death came to this poorinnocent woman, | none can tell. The fragment of rope j which now hangs to one of the crosses ] was used to bind a woman who was cutj up for murdering her husband. The| ■ sickening details of the massacres per ( petrated on this spot have been related to me by those who have seen them, and who take shame to themselves 1 while they c ' ss, that after witnessing 1 one execution iy cutting on the cross, I the rapidity and dexterity with which i ; the mere beheading was done deprived i the execution of a hundred men of half its honor. 1 The criminals were brought down in gangs, if they could walk, or brought ] [down in chairs and set out into the|, ' yard. The executioners then arranged : them in rows, giving them a blow | behind, which forced out the head and I j neck and laid them convenient for the j 1 [ blow. Then came the warrant of death. ] It is a banner. As soon as it waved in [ sight, without verbal order given, the: work began. There was a rapid succes- j ]sion of dull crunching sounds—chop, | [chop, chop, chop. No second blow! was ever dealt, for the dexterous man-! slayers are educated to their work.— , Until they can with their heavy swords! slice a great bulbous vegetable as thin 1 - as we slice a cucumber, they are not i eligible for their office. Three seconds], ja heap suffice. In one minute five* executioners clear off 100 lives. It takes j 1 rather longer for the assistants to cram i 3 the bodies into rough coffins, especially ] . as you might see them cramming two ] J iuto,one shell, that they might embezzle j 1 ] the spare wooden box. The beads were j carried off in boxes ; the saturated j earth was of value as manure. —London ; Times. . Excitement at Staten Island. —The inhabitants of that part of Staten Island in the vicinity of the old quarantine i buildings, are exceedingly indignant and excited at the Susquehanna, with yellow fever ou board, being anchored ' close to their shore. Threats, both loud and deep, are being uttered, that! if the infection spreads, and any citizen i ■ dies of it beyond the limits, the quar antine buildings will be destroyed. Preachers in Paris.— Several of the i popular preachers iu Paris have entered! I upon a crusade against the lavish ex-i . 1 peuditure of their lady hearers upon . ] dress, the waste material especially ] .(exciting their indignation.

Washington’, April 22.—1 n the Sen-, ate to-day Dr. Rhodes, the young En glish Surgeon, who so promptly and; cheerfully relieved the American sea-: men, on board the United States frigate “Susquehannah,” who were sick with the yellow fever, at Jamacia, was cour teously invited to a scat in the Cham ber Mr. Seward, of New York, presented the reply of the American Telegraph Company, to the recent memorial of Mr. A Kendall. The reply refutes the alle gations againtst the American Compa ny, and denies that any monopoly ex ists. The matter was referred to thei judiciary committee. The memorial of the American Tele graph Company represents that such a' law as petitioned for by Amos Kendall., will conflict with past State lepiglation, delay business, render responsility un certain, and unjustly deprive thereraon-j strants of rights secured by contract: and of legitimatefraits of the last out lay by the American Company in the j hazardous Atlantic enterprise—that their | contract of connection with the New-j j foundland Company is such as has been | ' universal among Telegraph lines in the ! United States. And that while the At-: lantie Company has been highly favor ; ed, in being permitted the use of ships of the Navy to lay the Atlantic Cable, | it is proper that it should he known that no money aid has at yes been received ! from any government. The resolutions between this country and Paraguay were discussed. A bill was introduced to authorize the construction of a Telegraph line from Memphis to San Francisco.
