Accident to a Freight Train
The regular passenger train yesterday
evening, on the Georgia Kailroad, was
prevented from leaving at the usual
hour, by an accident to a down freight
train, about three miles this side of
Berzelia. Four cars were badly smashed
to pieces, but fortunately no one was
jDjured.
The Africans.
It will be seen that the testimony of
Capt. Fraser corroborates the statement
of the Dispalch in reference to the land
ing of the Africans below this city. We
presume that our mum cotemporary will
not wgit any longer for the facts in the
case, and we shall look for Mr. Fraser s
testimony “in the morning papers."
Perhaps the Atlanta American will now
begin to see who it was thlft “ made a
judy of himself.”

.V t grT>'*iilUd.
We learn by a friend, recently from
McDonough, Henry county, that during
the storm of Monday and Tuesday, 20th
and 21st inst., Mr. Charles Walker liv
ing near that place, had a negro killed
by the falling of a limb of a dead tree,
while at work in the field. This and
similar cases, of not unfrequent occur
rence, ought to be a warning tofarmors,
who are accustomed to working thier
hands in new grounds, and old fields,
containing dead timber, which is liable
to fall at any time, but more especially
during high winds. We have often
remarked the danger from this source,
and ventured a friendly warning ; but
too many learn to shut the door, only,
after the horse is stolen.
Another New Territory.
The Council Bluffs(Iowo) Bugle reports
the Gold Mines in the vicinity of
Cherry Creek, Nebraska, to be yield
ing an astonishing amount of Gold.
Miners are said to have made «S3O per
week, fanning out the ore, and emigra
tion is setting for the mines with a per
fect rush. It is thought that the Ter
ritory will have 100,000 inhabitants in
a year, and the citizens have already
organized counties, and elected Mr. H.
J. Graham a delegate to Congress, who
will leave at once for Washington and
endeavor to get a new. Territorial gov
ernment organized for that region.
The French Stave Trade. --The
French are certainly getting too far
ahead of us. This will never do. The
official returns of the French Colonial j
office show that 16,500 negroes have
been obtained by French agents from j
the eastern coast of Africa, and convey
ed to the island of Burbon or Reunion.
French Guiana has received eight hun
dred and seventy two Africans, Martini
que five hundred and fifteen, and Gua
daloupe six hundred and ninety eight.
Fire In Atlanta.
We are informed by our wide-awake
friend, Adair, of Adams Express, that
a fire broke out in Atlanta, very near
the Trout House, and was burning when
the train left last night.
[COMMUNICATED.]
Summerville Academy.
Mr. Editor :—As the close of the
late term of this institution, the exer-j
cises in declamation aud composition
were highly interesting, and deserving
of note in your paper. The young de
claimed were divided inito three sections
each contending for a Prize to be awar
ded to the best speaker.
In the first division Master Robert
Bixby, took the prize, and Geo. A. Wil
cox the honor.
In the second division Geo. W. Lewis
bore off the prize, and W. W. Wilcox
the honor.
In the third division Herbert P. Myers
took the prize, and Joseph H. Adams
the honor.
Between the exercises of the 2d and
3d divisions, Miss Ann Eliza Thomas
read a number of the “School Journal,”
a paper published semi-monthly by the
students of the Academy.
Hon. Chas. J. Jenkins then delivered
the Prizes, and made a very interesting
and appropriate address, warmly com
mending the proficiency in composition
displayed in the “Journal,” and the evi
dence of successful training evinced by ]
the young speakers, and giving the
scholars some excellent advice.
The exercises were highly creditable,
and it is to be hoped that Mr. Hatch
the Principal of the School, will be ap
preciated, and receive the liberal pat
ronage which he deserves. Summer
ville Academy, as now organized, is an
honor to the cultivated community in
which it is located. A "Citizen.

The Wanderer Case.
The Savannah papers contain reports
of the proceeding before the United
States Court on yesterday. The Repub
lican says that the vigor of the prosecu
ting officers isgiving a more serious as
pect to the case than was at first antici
-1 pated.
A number of witnesses were called,
■ and the following were sworn :
I James Clubb—sworn,—The District
1 Attorney asked this witness what his
f occupation was, which he declined to
answer, alleging that it would crimi
‘ uate himself. Judge Henry told the
i witness that he must answer the ques
tion, and allowed him five minutes for
consideration; at the end of the time,
witness still refused when the Judge
‘j committed him for contempt of court
t j and ordered him to be confined in jail
- until he did answer.
Capt Hillary B. Fraser—sworn—
, Am commander of the Steamboat Au
gusta, belonging to the Iron steamboat
3 Company. About the 12th or 13th in
s stant, carried up a number of negroes,
-about 170. They were taken on board
v from the Carolina shore, about 15 or 16
miles above Savannah. Was ordered to
1 go for them by the agent. He did not
tell me where I would find them, nor
where I should stop. Saw a gang of ne-
I groes on the shore, which induced me
• to stop. In going up was hailed by
I j some white persons near Mr. Potter’s
’ j place, about 6 miles from here, and
I sent a small boat for them and brought
| them on board. The negroes, when
II seen, were in charge of a white man
who came aboard with them. Was
’! hailed by this man. After the negroes
j were taken on board the parties who
i came up from near Mr. Potter’s place,
j requested witness to carry them back
| in his boat, as they had expected a boat
1 1 there to carry them back, but were dis
r appointed; witness carried his boat
j back aud after landing them proceeded
towards Augusta. The negroes remain
, ed in charge of a white man on board,
1 who attended to them and fed them.—
i They were all lauded, except one boy,
1 j about two miles below Augusta on the
- j Carolina side ; it was at a woodyard
| about half a mile below Horse Creek.
’ | The boy who remained on board was!
I j sent to witness’s house, did not put him
i j on exhibition but a good many people!
31 came to see him out of witness
f j supposed because it was thought he was
j 1 an African. Witness believed him to
be an African. So many people came to
’ j see him that witness sent for the one
II who left him in charge, to take him
, J away, which was done. The boy was
(one of the same lot carried up the river,
! all of them were similar in appearance.
Did not hear them speak English tho’
3 heard them talking often,
f The witness was then dismissed for
. the present.
Capt. Luke Christie—Sworn.—Runs
a towboat, called the Lamar, at present,
Carried her to Brunswick, the first time,
about the first or second instant. De
clined to answer where he went to from [
Brunswick as it would criminate him
wlf.
District Attorney Ganahl requested,
the Court to* instruct the prisoner as to
what would criminate him. He knew
< from the high character of Capt. Christie
i that he would not be engaged in a dis
reputable transaction and that he was
under a misapprehension. The fact of
his transporting the negroes for hire |
, inland was not criminal.
The District Attorney spoke with
much earnestness of the vigor with)
: which it was his intention to carry on
1 1 the prosecution of every one, either!
| nearly or remotely connected with this
1 ) affair. He was backed by the Govern
i; ment and no efforts should be spared to
. sift the matter thoroughly. No position
should be a shield, but high and low
would be alike brought before that bar,
■ and if in his power brought to punish
. ment.
Judge Henry adjourned the Court for
the purpose of consulting authorities on
the subject and will deliver his opinion
this morning, when the case will be
s continued.
Another Battle with the Camanches
Anticpated.— The IHvllas (Texas) Herald
1 of the 15th, says :
We learn from a private letter, that
an engagement was expected to have
come off on the 9tli inst, between Capt.
Palmer’s company of cavalry, and a
band of two hundred Camanches, en
camped some forty miles beyond Camp
Cooper. We have particulars, but may
hear from the scene probably by the
Belknap mail due to night.
Gentlemanly and Spicy. Senator
Jones, of lowa, has addressed a letter
to Senator Douglas which concludes as
follows:
This, sir, is the third time you have
made “ infamously false” accusations
against me, and that I have been com
pelled to fasten the lieupon you. Tho’
youmay,at thesacrifice of the Democratic
organization, have effected a triumph
. in your State, as you say, “over Execu
, tive and Congressional dictation,” lean
’ but look with contempt upon any fame
or position you may have acquired by a
I union with “white spirits and black,
i blue spirits and grey.” Black Republi
cans, South Americans, disappointed
, office seekers, &c., as I do upon the mis
erable resort to opprobious epithets con
nected with my name, but covered
with a contingency, which gave a sure
escape. George Wallace Jones.
Spiritualism in Italy.—A funny story
Story is told in a communication to
the Spiritual Age, by Mr. J. J. Jarvis,
the distinguished author, now residing
in Florence, Italy. It is as follows:
At a recent circle in this city, a skep
tical physician unexpectedly entered on
a visit, and seeing what the family were
about, asked permission, “for the fun
of the thing,” to sit with them. The
phenomena soon began, and directed to
wards him too.
“ Who is it wants me ?" he asked.
The medium’s hand (a titled lady of
great refinement and distinction in so
ciety) was made to write—
“ One of your patients whom you
killed, d— you !”
Imagine the confusion of both par
ties. The doctor disappeared ; and the
mortification of the lady medium has
scarcely abated yet.
An effort is on foot in Knoxville,
Tenn., for the erection of an asylum for
drunkards.
Lieut. Maury, in one of his lectures
on the “Highways and Byways of the
Ocean,” states that animal matter at
the bottom of the deep sea, owing to
the superincumbent pressure, the exclu
sion of light and beat, and the saline
properties of the water, cannot decom-
I pose, but must remain precisely in the
| state in which it is deposited for ages
1 and ages.
Talk for Country Girls.
Mrs. Victoria Fuller, in the Ohio
Cultivator, in a sisterly way thus talks
to country girls:
The farmers’ daughters are soon to
be the life as well as the pride of the
• country—a glorious race of women
which no other land can show. I seek
not to flatter them; for before they can
become this, they will have to make
1 earnest efforts of one or two kinds. —
There are some who deprecate their con
-1 dition, and some who have a false pride
i in it, because they demand more con
> sideration than they merit. A want of
■ intelligence on all subjects, and a refined
; education is no more necessary in a
country than a town-bred girl, in this
' age of books and newspapers.
, Many girls are discouraged because
; they can’t be sent away from home to
1 a boarding school; but men of superior
I minds and knowledge of the world
would rather have for wives women
well and properly educated at home.—
And this education can be had when
l ever the desire is not wanting. A taste
-for reading does wonders, and an earn
, est thirst after knowledge is almost cer
) tain to attain a sweet draught of the
) “Pierian spring.” There is a farmer's
> daughter in this very room in which I
1 am writing, a beautiful, refined, and
f intellectual woman, in whose girlhood
- books were not as plentiful as now, and
i who gained her education under cir
cumstances that would have discouraged
5 any but one who had as true a love of
t study.
1 I will state why I think the country
1 girls are yet to prove the hope of the
> country. The women of towns and
5 cities are becoming so universally un
> healthy, and so almost universally ex
> travagant, foolish, fashionable, that
, men are almost in despair of obtaining
- wives who are not invalids, and provi
• ding them with what they demand as
- ter they have married them. Unless
- the young man has the fortune (good
I or bad) to be the inheritor of wealth,
- he must spend the best bloom of his
i youth to acquire enough to “start
- upon,” as people are expected to begin
, now-a-days. Many even in high places
3 would go to the country for their
I choice -if they met equal refinement
• and intelligence. Women are prepar
i ing to take a noble stand in history, and
>! they cannot do it in ignorance.
5 1 Town girls have the advantage of
3, more highly polished manners and
J j greater accomplishments ; but country
i girls have infinitely more to recommend
> them as rivals of their fair city sisters.
3 They have more truth, household
i knowledge and economy, and conse
-3 qently beauty, simplicity, affection and
, freshness of impulse and thought.—
• When they have cultivated minds, there
are more chances in their favor for good
sense and real ability, because so much
r is not demanded by the frivolities of so
ciety. The added luster of foreign ac
s complishment could easily be caught
, by such a mind from a very little con
, tact with the masses.
•! I would not speak as though our far-
I I mers’ daughters were deficient in edu
■ | cation. Many brilliant scholars and
talented women may be found among
11 them. In New England this is especi
i ally so ; but I would speak to awaken
’ the ambition of all to become that ad
> mired and favored class they ought to
• be, if they will but unite refined cul-!
> ture with their excellent graces.
f A sweet country house, with roses
' and honeysuckles trained to climb over
! it; with good taste, beauty and iutelli
ugence within, toil enough to insure;
i! health, and leisure to court acquain-!
i tance with books and flowers and the!
' loveliness of nature, with peace, plenty, |
i and love, is surely one of the paradises
• which Heaven has left for the attain
> ment of man.
Arizona.— Letters have been received'
by the overland mail. An officer at
! Fort Buchanan writes, December 5, i
that rich deposits of gold have been j
. found on the Gila river for one hundred j
, and sixty miles on both sides. Sixhun-!
, dred and fifty men are at work, and I
, five hundred are on their way from Cal
ifornia. Should the emigration increase
at the same rate as it commenced, it is
i supposed there will be fifty thousand
persons in Arizona within the next!
twelve months. Specimens of silver,)

Tiie Vintage in Southern California )
The Los Angeles Vineyard, of Novem-j
ber 20, has the following :
Mr. M. Keller, one of our most enter-j
prising and indefatigable citizens, who
is extensively engaged in the grape and
wine business, has nearly closed the
vendimial labors of the season. Tha
vineyard of Mr. Keller is not large, but
he purchases freely both for shipment
and wine. We are unable this week toj
give the exact figures, but he has ship
ped to San Francisco nearly 100,000
pounds of grapes, and conveited into
wine not far from half a million pounds.!
, He has made 38,000 gallons of white, 1
and 10,000 gallons of red wine He 1
has also made 1,000 gallons Angelica,
and will make 1,000 gallons brandy.—
) This is equal to about 55,000 gallons of
wine.
1 From one vineyard of about 8,000
vines the crop of which was purchased
by Mr. Keller, he shipped, 18,260 lbs.
of grapes, and manufactured into wine
101,579 pounds, making an aggregate
of 119,839 pounds of grapes from 8,000
vines 'This, it will be seen, equals 14
7-8 pounds per vine.
There are the extensive vineyards of
Mr. Froling, who has purchased largely
for manufacture, as well as various oth
ers who manufacture their own grapes
into wine.

There is a law in Natchez, Miss.,
which authorizes the mayor to announce
every week the current price of bread,
based on the cost of first quality flour,
and no baker can sell otherwise. For
instance : for the week commencing
December 7th the mayor gave public
notice that first quality of flour being
worth $9 per barrel, the weight of a
20-cent loaf must 53 1-2 ounces, and in
that proportion for the smaller ones.

JIT A .Liver Remedy,—The
Liver, according to Physiologists, occupies in 1
our human economy a place second only to the
I heart, and consequently is one of the greatest 1
dispensers of health and happiness, or sickness 1
l 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. Saxdford’s INVIGORATOR is a great Regu
lator of the Livkr. It instills into it new life
and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it,
curing the fountain from whence so many ,
streams of sickness flow. We say to all who
are troubled with any derangement of the Liv
er, such us Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache, (
Billiousness or debility of system, do not fail to
try Dr. Sanford’s Liver Invigorator. decl-m

6®” From the Missom i De
moernt.—Upon Prof. 0. J. \s\>od, of Jt. I/suis,
fortune has conferred the honor of having dis
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 co ! or after it has be
come gray, fastens it to the scalp and effectually
destr >ys such cutaneous eruptions as may have
been engendered by the use of U es, essential
oils nnd other injurious applications. Ihe many
respectable testimonials which are 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 ever attained. Buy it—test
it—and rejoice that your attention has been di
rected to it.
Caution .—Beware of worthless imitations, as
several are already in the market, called by dif
ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
fessor Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St Louis,
Mo., and New York), are blown in the bottle.

JIT T It e Great Pr oblcni
Solved I—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the 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 nervoussufferer, while tormented by the
‘ i acute, physical agony of Neuralgia. Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
■ rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
1 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 unnaturalcoudition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once cal ms,
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 of
| medical men.
1 Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
, mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite
While it renews the strength of the digestive
’ powers it creates a desire for the solid material
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
: appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
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
i wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
. man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
\ bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willall find immediateand permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
j perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
jof medicine. Let not even those despair. The
i Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re-
I lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
| the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
! stitution
i LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush
of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil
ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-de
si ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys
pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous
ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe
males, decay of the propagating functions, hys
teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of
the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from
whatever arising, it is, if there is any reli
; ance to be placed on human testimony,absolute

— Honesdalk Co., I'enn., Jan. 10, ISSO-—Mr. ;
Seth W. Fowle— Sir : You are at liberty to use !
the following statement for the benefit of the af
flicted :
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink oi
the grave. During my sickness I was attended
by three physicians in our place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended for such complaints, but they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam ofi 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 Honesdale, who is well
known iirhis vicinity as asuccessful practitioner.^
