Tfc* Wanderer Case.
The Wanderer, Bays the Dispatch, only
acted as the decoy, bringing 120 slaves
herself and the other vessel 300: — Rich
mond Dispatch-
Our Richmond namesake is mistaken
in saying that ire said tbot the Wanderer
brought a portion of the cargo. We did
state that she acted as a decoy boat, but
our impression was that she brought
none of the negroes.
Tiie English Corn Trade. —Announc-
ment is made in the telegraphic sum
mary of the Arabia's news that a meet
ing of influential gentleman connected
with the corn trade, had been held at
Liverpool, and resolutions adopted in
favor ot making the weight of 100
pounds the standared weight in all sales
of grain, flour and wheat. This reform
had been agitated for several years, and
it is now proposed to adopt the system
throughout England on the Ist of Feb
ruary next. Such a rule might with
benefit be introduced here. The Charles
ton Courier justly remarks that, the ar
bitrary standards of 56 pounds for one
grain, 60 pounds for another, and so on,
only tend to perplex and to produce
legal questions, whereas a uniform
standard would simplify and facilitate
transactions.
Almost a Veto.— The members of
the South Carolina Legislature narrow

Georgia Conference HI. E. Church.
Tuesday, Dec. 21. Rev. J. W. Burke,
Tract Agent, reported that he had raised
this year from collections and sales up
wards of $9,000.
The report of the committee on Book
Depositoiy was then taken up, which
was adverse to the plan of R. Abbey.
On motion to adopt the report, Dr. J.
B. McFerrin was heard in defence of the
plan.
Dr. Jesse Boring replied in opposition
to the plan. While he was speaking
the Bishop announced the hour of ad
journment. The session was protracted
to take the vote of the conference on
on the expunging from the Discipline
the general rule on the subject of
slavery. The vote stood ayes all,
nays none.
In the afternoon the certificate of lo
cation of Rev. John H. Robinsin was
presented for admission. He was ad
mitted. Dr. Boring then concluded
his speech. Conference adjourned to 9
o'clock this morning.
Religious services by Mr. Boring
opened Conference this morning, and
principal portion of the session was spent
in the examination of Elders, of which
some fifty were passed upon at the
hour of our departure.
Rev. Mr. Connor—one of the ablest
ministers of the Conference—was, at
his own request, transferred to South
Carolina, to be located in Charleston, as
we learn.
A deeply interesting scene was enac
ted during the farewell remarks of Dr.
Boring relative to his contemplated
withdrawal from the Georgia Conference
Resolutions were offered that the M. E.
Church South was in equity indebted to
Dr. B. and that the General Board of
managers be requested to review their
former action, and allow Dr. B. the
amount in equity, due him.
Bending this motion, Col. Chambers
of this city made a statement relative
to the amount of Dr. Boring's indebted
ness in California, and that he (Col. C.)
and a few friends would assume the
amount ($3000,) not in a spirit of chari
ty, hut in love for Dr. Boring, that he
might be permitted to live, work and
die among his Georgia friends.
This announcement was received with
a hearty approval, by the numerous
auditory in the galleries ; but owing to
some ecclesiastical difficulties which the
Brnhop stated might ensue from move
ments already made in this matter, the
subject was temporarily laid over for
11 "ill probably come up
again in the morning. 1
The Post Offices in Barnwell District
known as Great Cypress and Silverton
are discontinued. (
Gov. Brown'* Vetoes.
The list of bills vetoed by Gov. Brown :
’ at the close of the session, includes a
i large number of applicants from per- 1
sons divorced, to permit them to marry
again. The Legislature refused to pass
-a general bill to permit all persons in
that condition to marry, and the Gov
' eruor has, as we believe, wisely and
® justly refused to sanction these excep
tions to the general rule. The tenden
, cies of the age are evidently to impair
r the sacred character of the marital con
-1 tract, and it is fortunate that the law
t authorizes this salutary check upon li
t centious legislation.
The following bills were not signed
by the Governor on account of the fail
. ure of either the President of the Sen
. ato or Speaker of the House, or both, to
sign them as required by the Constitu
tion. The sanction of the Governor
1 could not, therefore, give them the
t force of law :
, An act to add a part of the county of
j Gilmer to the county of Fannin, and
for other purposes.
8 To legalize and make valid the Sheriff s
i Bond of the county of Glasscock, and
3 also to provide for the drawing and em

1 To incorporate A. J. Miller Lodge, j
201, of free and accepted Masons, and
• to confer certain powers.
• To amend the first Section of the
third Article of the Constitution of the
\ State of Georgia.
To require the Judges of the Inferior '
1 Courts of Franklin and Thomas coun

To allow teachers of poor children in j
' the counties of Calhoun and Columbia,;
- to charge for Books furnished to said
children, and to require the Ordinary to I
pay said accounts.
To repeal all special laws providing I
for the jiayment of Grand and Petit i
Jurors for the county of Baker.
For the relief of the heirs and repre-1
sentatives of Luke Padgett.
To authorize the appointment of
Masters or Auditors in Equity and define!
their duty.
To compensate the Sheriff of Jeffer-1
son county.
To alter and amend an act approved'
6th March, 1856, entitled an act to al

act approved 11th February, 1854, enti
■ tied an act to incorporate the Dalton '
Copper Mill & Turnpike and Railroad
Company, and for other purposes there- '
in named. i
1 To require the Inferior Court of the ]
county of Muscogee to pay expenses!
necessarily incurred in holding the Su- ,

of the Town of Crawfordsville as to j'

License and sale of spiritous liquors in
, the county of Clay.
To authorize the Inferior Court 6 of
the counties of Fayette and Madison, to j
. levy an extra tax to pay the Grand and j
; Petit Jurors one dollar per diem for
their services as Jurors.
To define the line between the coun
ties of Clay and Early.
To incorporate the Eiijay Gold and j

The Governor withheld his sanction'
to the following Dills on account of pro- j
visions contained in them violative of!
the Constitution.
To authorize tho Ordinary of Rich-1
mond county to demand and receive
certain fees therein named, and for! !
other purposes.
To incorporate the town of Thomson,!
in Columbia county.
The following bill was not sanctioned
because the Governor did not consider
the claim a just one against the State,
and because the appropriation was insuf- ,
ficient, if the claims were just, viz :
An act for tho relief John M. Wil
hite, of Jackson county.
A large number of bills were lost on
account of the inability of the enrol
ler’s Clerk to have them enrolled in
time for the signature of the President
and the Speaker, before the adjourn
ment of the Legislature. The number
that passed the day and night of the
session, was so large that the Clerks
could not possibly enroll them all. A
number of those, too, signed by the
President and Speaker, were so imper
fectly enrolled that they were not in a
condition to receive the Executive sane-1
tion.
Washington, Dec. 17.—There has

The Assassins of the Inn. The
Charlestown, Va., Republican tells the!
following as happening in the vicinity
of Mt. Pleasant, in that State, not long
since:
Not far from Mt. Pleasant, back in
the country like, there is a tavern call-!
ed the Franklin House. Mr. Franklin, ■
the proprietor, has two deaf and dumb ]
■ daughters, sprightly, intelligent, and;
interesting. By signs they often carry
' on animated conversations, especially
with each other, and members of the
' family.
i Last week, two foot travelers stopped
for the niglit at this house, and after
i supper with the family, were shown to
: a room, in which was a good fire and
bod for their accommodation. The
l kin 4 host on entering the room in the
! morning, found that the bed had not
been occupied, and that his guests bad
flown. He, however, found on the ta
ble motley for their supper, and a note,
stating tnat in consequence of signs
made at the supper tablo by the young
ladies, the/ did not think it 6afe to go
to bed, anil therefore paid the bill and
took their departure.

London Money Market.
| Thursday Evening.— The funds to
i day were sensibly firmer, owing to a
; variety of considerations, including the
news that the Emperor Napoleon has
i annulled the sentence passed on M. de
i Montalembert, satisfactory intelligence
from India, some specie arrivals, a pur
chase of stock for account of the Court
of Chancery, and another of 10,000/.
Reduced Three per Cents, by the Gov
ernment broker for account of the
• Savings Banks. A recovery of about
1-4 per cent, was established. The fall
in the French funds was not known here
until after the close of the Stock Ex
change.
In most of the other markets the
tendency was likewise favorable. Amer
ican railway Securities remain heavy,
but English and French were stronger,
i One of the principal features was a fresh
rise iu the stocks of the three great
English railway companies which have
i just ceased hostilities. From the mo-,
ment in which the rumors of coming 1
peace gained credence these stocks havej
experienced a steady and unchecked ad- j
vanec. Although moral considerations
i are occasionally ignored, railway share
holders are rarely insensible to argu
ments based upon pecuniary grounds.—
j There is room, therefore, for the hope
| that the rise of several hundreds of!
j thousands of pounds which has taken j
j place during the last few days in the!
j property of the three companies recent- j
ly contending, will furnish an addition-]
al guarantee for the maintenance of
i harmonious relatious for the future,
, since it is clear that the previous de-1
■ predation was almost solely caused by
the reckless competition. The losses
which the companies have sustained j
through carrying passengers and goods
j at absurdly law fares, in order to dam
[ age each other, form a distinct but
| equally important item in the account,
i Tlie increased demand which has
j been noticed in the discount market
(during the last day or two continued;
i this day. Few bills, however good,!
| were negotiated below 2 3-8 to 2 1-2 per!
j cent., and, as a rule, the latter fraction;
] formed the minimum. The applications
at the Bank were more numerous. A
I very large number of bills fall due on I
j the 3rd, 4th, and sth.
I There were no bullion operations at
| the Bank to day.
At Paris to day the Three per Cent.
Rentes opened at 74.50 for the end of)
December, and closed at 74.20. For!
money, the last price was 74. Compar- j
ed with the closing quotations of yes
terday, a fresh decline of about 1-4 per
cent is presented. The “pardon” of M.!
de Montalembert apparently has not!
produced a good effect upon the Bourse.
Harbors in Washington Territory.—
The straits of San Juan de Fuca, Adtni
rality Inlet and Puget Sound form the
, most magnificent harbors on the conti
nent, probably in the world. From
| Cape Flattery, at the mouth of the
strait, to Olympia, at the head of Puget
Sound, is about 210 miles. These in
land seas arc not confined to one great
I channel, but are interspersed with large*
and beautiful islands, forming many
channels, and having, in the aggregate,
a shore line of sixteen hundred miles,
giving access to a fine agricultural re
gion, comprising an area of some thous
] and square miles. These waters are en
tirely free from hidden rocks and reefs
calculated to hinder navigation, and are
deep enough for the largest ships to ride
at anchor. On the Pacific coast, be ]
I tween the Columbia river and Cape
i Flattery, are the fine harbors of Shoal
j water and Gray’s Harbor, readily acces
! sible to vessels, and very safe.

OB ITUALLT.
Died, at liis residence, in Columbia county, on
tlie 18th day of November last, Thomas W. E.
j Bkalle, in the fortieth year of his age, after a
loug and protracted illness, which, though long,
and at times severe, ho bore with Christian for
titude and resignation.
It has been our lot to know but few men who
possessed as many good qualities and traits of
! character, as Thomas W. E Bealie. He was a
i true friend, a kind master, and an affectionate
j husband and father, and was beloved by all who
j knew him. It would be useless to attempt to
enumerate bis many acts of kindness to the poor
j and afilicted around him, for his deeds of charity
I were only limited by h s kuowledge of the wants
! of others.
In all his dealings and transactions, he was
liberal and strictly honest, never exacting more
than his due, and often conceding much more.
If the anxious desires of a fond mother, sister,
wife and friends, could have staid the hand of an
inscrutable Providence, this blow would not have
been given ; yet, “ He who dispenses all good,
and tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,” hath
decreed his death, and we must submit—he,
with us, is in tho hands of a just God ! and where
justice is administered by an All wise Being, the
just need not fear
To his much afflicted wife, mother, sister and
friends, wc would say—his afflictions and trials
are over ; ho is in the hands of a lust Being
why mourn or grieve ? We, too, will soon ho in
the same hands. G.

I®” A l>iver Remedy.—The
Liver, according to Physiologists, occupies in
our human economy a place second only to the
heart, and consequently is one of the greatest
dispensers of health and happiness, or sickness
and disease. To keep the liver in the proper
performance of its duties is to keep the system
in a state ol health, and free from all bodily ills.
Dr. Sandpord’s INVIGOKATOR is a great Regu
lator ok the Liver. It instills into it new life j
and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates.it,
curing the fountain from whence so many
streams of sickness flow. Wo say to all who
are troubled with any derangement of the Liv
er, such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache,
Billiousness or debility of system, do not fail to
try Dr. Sanford’s Liver Tnvjgorator. docl-ro

{i" From the Missouri De- |
moe rat.—Upon Prof. 0. J. Wood, of St. Louis,
fortuno has conferred the honor of having dis
i covered a balsamic preparation, which not only
promotes the growth of, and beautifies the hair
in a high degree, but restores it when it is gone,
or turns it to its original color after it has be
i come gray, fastens it to the scalp and effectually
■ destroys such cutaneous eruptions as may have
been engendered by the use of d es, essential
oils and other injurious applications. The many
respectable testimonials which arc offered in its
’ favor, from every part of the country in which
[ it has been introduced, leaves no loop for a skep
tic to hang a doubt on. It is supplanting all other
specifics for the hair, and enjoys a popularity
which no other has attained. Buy It—test
' it—and rejoice that your attention has been di
rected to i>.
Caution.— Beware of worthless imitations, as
1 several arc already in the market, called by dis
-1 ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
fessor Wood’s Ilalr Restorative, Depot St Louis,
| Mo., and New York), are blown in the bottle.

"fiT The Great Pr oft lent
Solved I-DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING OOR
, dial.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining clement, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and tbc crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The norvous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, T«c-dolorcux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unuaturalcondition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo- j
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,;
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous *
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hards ofj
i medical men.
| Morse’s luvigorating Elixir has a direct, im-.
j mediate and astonishing etfectupon the appetite |
While it renews the strength of the digestive!
j powers it creates a desire for the solid material i
! which is to be subjected to their action. As an i
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. j
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless,enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous dtpres
j sion, the individual suffering from general de I
bility or from the weakness ol a single organ I
willall find imraediateand permanent relief from
tho u-e of this incomparable ren >vator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible milady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with tlieir constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

Seth W. Fowle—Sir : You are at liberty to use
I the following statement for the benefit of the af
flicted :
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink of
tho grave. During my sickness I was attended
by three physicians in our place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
j commended for such complaints, but they as-
I forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
| persuaded to try Wistar’s Balsam of Wild
| Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsey Perrin.
The above certificate was given in the pre
sence of Dr. A. Strong, ol Hooesdale, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.

With expectorants, much less medicine will
be necessary than is generally taken in diseases
of the lungs, for, by purifying the blood and
restoring tho Liver to a healthy condition, rem

In Sores, Scrofulous or Venereal Ulcers, with

either with or without lodide ol Potassium, pro
duces good effects.
