Magazines.
Russell's Magazine and Blackwood, for
"May are on our table. To give a list
of contents which isgetting to be fashion
able, would convey but an imperfect idea
of the work. To say that they were both
valuable publications would only be a
repetition of what we have often said
yff note no lack of interest in them
compared with former numbers. But
a notice is wanted, and we want to
know how to give it. Let our readers
eaeh purchase a copy and read it, and
hereafter, it will only be necessary for
ns to state that they are out, to insure
a rush for them.
The Execution ot ( rochett.
The Fredericksburg Recorder of the Ist
Inst., says:
In accordance with the sentence of
the court, the negro, Crockett, who
murdered Wm. Griffin, of Stafford, in
December last, was hanged at Stafford
Court House yesterday. The murder
was so perfectly cold-blooded and un
provoked, that it called out an immense
eoncourse to witness tho execution. He
made a full and complete confession on
the scaffold, and stated that no person
exeept himself was implicated in the
kintal deed. We understand that tho'
the sheriff had taken every precaution to
are-rcnt it, the rope broke, and it was
»»t until after a second trial, that the
Sentence of the law was carried out.—
Sever was a criminal executed, who, ac
cording to his own confession, had less
daim upon the sympathy of the public.
If it is the object of the law to take
Tengeance on the violator of its ordi
nances, we have not a word to say ; but
if the security of the innocent from the
depredation of the villain, be the ob
ject of law penalties, then we have a
right to object to the infliction of pun
ishment, which outrages every feeling
of humanity, and excels in barbarity
the tortures of the savages. Who can
read the above account, and say it is
right—that it is decent among a people
professing an abhorrence of unnecessary
•ruelty. And yet it is not an uncom
moa case. We are not an advocate of
the abolition of capital punishment, but
wc do say that hanging is barbarous,
and should be struck from the law books
•f civilized nations.
The humane man will not torture
his beast; even a dog is summarily dis
patched. When a human being has
shed blood maliciously, let him pay the
forfeit; but instead of the slow and un
pertain halter, give us—in the absence
es anything better—the French guillo
tine, or the Spanish garote. In the
name of humanity we ask it.

We take the liberty of making the
following extracts from a private letter
from a friend in upper Georgia :
Cummjnq, Fobsytii Co., Ga., I
May 3rd, 1858. f
“ We are having curious weather in
the mountains. The late severe frosts
have ruined wheat in some places ; and
injured it in all. Beans, potatoes, and
ill tender vegetables killed out-right.—
iVhilst I write, the wind is blowing a
regular “ norther” from the East,thieat
utiing another cold rain from that quar
ter.
Since the rejection (in effect) of the
idmission of Kansas into the Union, by
Congress, the builders of the “ Georgia
Platform,” hereabouts, are swearing
that they never endorsed or sanctioned
the “ fourth ” resolution of that struc
ture ! —the plank was a supernumerary ,
they say, and should not have been in
serted in the Platform in the first in
stance ! Others, again, go so far as to
■say, that they seriously doubt whether
the Convention established any Plat
form at all ; and if it did, their work is
an old and now dilapidated concern,
and needs divers repairs, which they
hope Governor Brown will have made
by another Convention, as soon as he
can call one together !
Yours, Repectfully, A.

Tiie British Navy. —The British gov
ernment had in commission, April Ist,
1858,278 ships, mounting 3,798 guns,
with 44,804 men exclusive of marines at
home and marines serving on shore in
China. £1,195,000 has been expended
on the purchases and repairs of steam
machinery in three years. In North
America, on the Ist April, there were
stationed 22 ships, 290 guns, and 3,211

Western it Atlantic Railroad.
The Federal Uuiim of Tuesday contains j
the following gratifying announcement:
We learn that the Treasurer of the
W. & A. Railroad paid into the Statu
treasury on the 30th of April $22,000
in cash. It will be remembered that
tho Treasurer of the Road paid in $20,-
000 in cash the last day of March. We
are informed the track is being but in
first rate condition, and the Road will
be kept out of debt. This is the state
of things long desired by the people of
Georgia. If the Road is kept in good
order and out of debt, and these month
ly payment are continued, a§ we doubt
not they will be, the people will turn a
a deaf ear to the complaints made
against Gov. Brown and the efficient of
ficers of the Road by those office seekers
who made war upon the administration
becase they were not appointed to office.
The result shows the wisdom of the ap
pointments made by the Governor. Let
tiie road bo honestly managed and the
nett earnings bu paid into the Treasury
monthly and all will be right. Let us
have the cash paid in. All the people
will say, amen, to that.
A chap in Buffalo proposes to start a

Lola Mote* and Mrs. Cunningham.
A correspondent of the New York Ex
press, over the signature of “A friend
to Injured Innocence,” sands that pa
per the following :
The following paragraph has been go
ing the rounds of the country papers,
and recently found its way into one of
the city journals :
“ Tt is rumored that Lola Montoz re
cently paid a visit to Mrs. Cunningham
of Burdell notoriety, which resulted in
a conviction that 6he did not commit
the murder of Dr. Burdell. the thought
there was devil enough in her eye to
have planned or executed it. Mrs.
Cunningham is said to be reduced to
extreme poverty.”
That Lola Monfez paid a visit to Mrs.
Cunningham is undoubtedly true, and
that that visit resulted in conviction
that she never murdered Dr. Burdell is
also true ; but that she made any such
unlady like remark as that “ she had
devil enough in her eye to have done it. j
is most untrue. Furthermore, the in- j
terview was not sought by either of the j
ladies, but was made by Madame Lola
at the instigation of a third party, a no
tice of Madame's intended visit having
first been sent to Mrs. Cunningham.—l
The Countess sympathized with that:
lady as only women know how to sym- j
pathize with each other, alluded to the
malignant stories circulated against her
self, and knowing them, as she said, to;
be false and malicious, was slow to be
lieve anything against another. She ap-,
peared to pay most attention to Mrs.
Cunningham's second daughter, Helen,
(Miss Augusta not being at home,) and
spoke highly of her beauty and ladylike
qualities. She also paid some attention
Georgiana. Her remarks after leaving
were that she would not believe Mrs.
Cunningham committed the murder,
that she thought she was to sec a tall,
masculine woman, but was surprised to
see a small, weak one, undone who pos
sessed such ladylike dignity. A person
in her company some days after the vis
it, made some allusion to a scandalous
report concerning Mrs. C. and her
daughters, when the Countess of Lans
feldt, with an attitude worthy of a Sid
dons, exclaimed, “ I'll not believe it ;
no, if there is a virtue that woman pos
see, it is love for her daughters, and I
have observed that in her very eye.—
(This is probably the ‘devil’ alluded to.)
I believe in first impressions, and my
first impressions of Mrs. Cunningham
were decidedly in her favor.”
As to tlie 11 extreme poverty” of Mrs.
Cunningham, we have authoiity of a
person who saw her on Sunday, for say
that she resides in an elegantly furnish
ed house up town ; her daughters have
their piano and their music, and her
little sons are at home from vacation,so
that she is now surrounded by her five
children, and appears to avoid notorie
ty as much as possible, receiving
no visitors other than those calling
on business, and her physician, who
is attending Miss Augusta for a nervous
affection, to which she has been subject
ever since the death of Dr. Burdell.—
She certainly, as far as outward appear
ances go, does not seem to suffer “ex
treme poverty, ” and is fully determin
ed to seek for her rights in the matter
of the Burdell estate by carrying up her
cause to the Court of last resort.
A Friend to Injured Innocence.
cr The New York Tribune thus dis
courses on the passage of the English
bill :
“ Well : Lecompton Junior has pas
sed : What then ?
“ Nothing but a very brief dismissal
of the Kansas question from the floor of
the two Houses. This bill settles noth
ing, establishes nothing, but leaves all
all at as loose ends as ever.”
The Federal Administration has most
unwisely decreed that Kansas shall still |
be a watchword in our National strug j
gles. TheCrittendon-Montgomcry bill!
would have obviated this; Congress!
would gladly have passed that bill ; but j
thcExecutivc was implecable. By Cabinet
influence and Presidential patronage, j
tiie Kansas feud has been has been kept [
open ; there will be no more cessation
till Kansas is fully in the Union,the ac
knowledged Free State that all know her '
rightfully to be. We give her oppres- 1
sors fair notice that the unjust disabili- 1
ties imposed on her by the English bill j
are utterly scouted by earnest Free) ,
State men ; that the population which! ,
is confessedly large enough for a Slave j ,
State will be held sufficient for a Free j j
State; that if the foolish, useless, cul- ,
pable constitution as of Election Board, j
consisting of three Federal officers to ,
two elected by her People, shall be |
made a cloak for foul voting or false re- ,
turns, those votes, those returns, will! t
be rendered of no avail ; and that, by a] ,
large majority of the People, all other j,
issues will be postponed or subordinated | i
until Kansas shall have been fully de-j ,
livered from her oppressors and added j t
to the galaxy of Free States. I,
So, Messrs. Leconrptonites, move on !, ;

gp Dr. Sanford’s Liver lu
vlgorator is the name of a medicine invalu
able to invalids or those troubled with Liver
Complaint, Jaundice or General Debility, with
derangement of the system or loss of appetite.
It has one peculiarity, not common to most
medicines, that is, the Doctor only recommends
it for the euro of liver Complaint, or such dis
eases as arise from a disordered Liver, and how
well it bears tho recommendations given is
known to all who use it. We never have known
a medicine of any kind to perform such a tonish
ing cures as has been by the INVIGORATOR. It
seems to strengthen aud invigorate the whole
body, increasing the vital energy, aud giving a
flow of health to many whose ills were consid
ered incurable. We can recommend it know
ingly as a family medicine, for it has been our
best friend in many an hour of sickness. We
wish ail to try this remedy and satisfy them
selves.— York Gazette.

tor.—The n ost skeptical people can bo con

not humbug, and that among the thousand of

undoubted worth. Os these, I)r. SANFORD’S
INVIGORATOR or LIVER REMEDY stands first
and foremost among the remedies of the day
that can be relied on as a medicine tnat is all it
is recommended by its proprietors. It adver
tises itself on c-very trial, lbr there are none who
use it i ut tell their friends to do so, and so it
goes from mouth to mouth till all the people of
the Union have learned the good es this truly
valuable medicine. It is recommended with tes
timonials to prove its virtue for the cure of liver
complaints of every kind, from Ihe worst Dys
pepsia to a eominou Headache, and is particular
ly adapted to Jaundice, Deranged Stomach, Bow
el Complaints, and Diseases of Children,
One or two doses are said to cure a cold with
searoo a failure. It is worth a trial for this
alone. It is particularly adapted to the use of
ladies of sedentary habits. Some ladies of the
highest standing iu society have given their cer
tificates of its efficacy, and we say to all who are
ailing, try one bottle, aud you will never be
without it .—Bloomfield J-’ress. ap2fl-m

ravel, though every third stitch is cut.
3d. It sews from two ordinary spools, anti thus
, all trouble of winding thread is avoided, while
the same machine can be adapted at pleasure,
by a mere change of spool , to all varieties of work.
4th. The same machine runs silk, linen thread,
i and common spool cotton with equaffacility.
6th. The seam is as elastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break
; iu washing, ironing, or otherwise,
i 6th. The stitch made by this machine is more 1
beautiful than any other made, cither by hand
or machine
