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.” Ledger. —We are indebted to Mr. Bonner for a copy of the Ledger for Jan.

Persons to purchase a well known country store of long standing, are directed to the advertisement of Mr. Graves, in another column. .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. Lieut. Gibson, who was put upon the naval retired list, obtained a situation as a sergent of harbor police, in New York. By the recent act of restoration, he steps at once from that humble po sition—the commander of a small row boat—to be a commander in the na | ry. I Mr. Miranda, the tenor of the Cooper L English Opera Troupe, got himself into • the hands of the police at Cincinnati, ■hist week for passing a counterfeit dollar bill. As no other notes ■j the kind, however, were found upon •u be was speedily set at liberty. C. G Finby, the great revival with|his wifeh.ive sailed for ■lgland. where a field is open for their i faculties. ' 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,) richer than that from Heintzelmau’si mine have been discovered. 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.

P. UIRARDEY, Bf TELEGRAPH. The Wanderer Case. Savannah, Dec. 29.—The Wanderer case was resumed this morning. The first witness refused to testify, and he was sent to prison. Capt. H. B. Frazier, commanding the steamer Augusta, testified that in his capacity as a steamboat captain, lie had transported one hundred and seventy five negroes up the Savannah river, to within two miles of the city of Augus ta, on the 13th of December.

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.

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 -1 ly infallible. } CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial j has been counterfeited by some unprincipled j I persons.

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.
