Emory college.
"We have a Catalogue of this College
on our table, (somewhat mutilated by
the common but detestable practice of
enveloping catalogues in their covers)
from which it appears that the number
of pupils during the year Las been one
hundred and ninety three in College
and Preparatory School. During the
Spring Teirn the attendance was one
hundred and fifty-seven.
The Trustees announce “as a method
Os securing discipline in the College
that after examination, (if satisfactory,)
each applicant will be furnished with a
copy of the laws of the College, and
after having time to lead them careful
ly, will (AS KIS OWN VOLUNTARY ACT,)
name to the pledge in our
“Matriculation Book,” thereby pledg
ing himself to observe, strictly, every
one of them during his continuance in
the Institution. If he cannot cheerfully
take this pledge, he will be requested
to return home at once. When circum
stances require the enactment of new
laws announcements of such will be
made publicly, and continuance in the
Institution, after such announcements,
will be understood as an obligation to
observe them. When any student who
has taken this pledge feels a propensi
ty, which he cannot or will not resist,
to violate it, let him at once sever his
connection with the Institution rather
than violate his promise. We do not
desire the admission of any one whose
regard for a sacred pledge is not potent
to secure his obedience to law.

The Indian Troubles in Texas.—
Government has determined, if the
next advices from Texas contain a con
firmation of the report of continued
hostilities with the Indians to remove
them immediately to the reservation
of the West Choctaw Settlement. It
was designed to delay the change till
next year. The outrages on the Indians
have been committed by an organized

Cessation of the Mail Between
Charleston and Havana* —In conse
quence of the failure of Congress to
authorize a continuance, the Postmaster
General has notified the Charleston and
Savannah Steamship Company that
their mail contract expires on the 30th
of June, and will not be renewed unless
they choose to accept the postages as in
full for service. The postage is, how
ever, so inconsiderable that it cannot be
accepted, and the line will therefore
cease running.

i and was floated to the bank and tied
I there until morning, as it was too late
in the evening to hold an inquest over
the body. The next morning an inquest
was held, and a verdict rendered, that
the deceased had come to death by
drowning. She belonged to John F.

Madison, Morgan county, Ga. She left
home the Sunday before, and had not

commenced, and when completed to
run from the railroad bridge, above We

Cherokee and Pennington, at Greens
port, Ala. So when that is accomplish
ed, we will have direct communication
with New Orleans and Mobile by railroad

to be proud of, being at the head of
steamboat navigation (with the excep
tion of a short distance by railroad,)
they will have water communication
with the great cities above mentioned.
They should take some interest in clean

will. If I wa3 interested in the boats, J

Fatal Accident.—A young man,about
twenty six years ot age, by the name of
John Morris, met with a sudden death
about 1 a. m. yesterday, by falling from
the third story window of Mrs. Cath
cart’s boarding house, on Richardson
street. It appeared that he had taken
a position on the window to smoke,
previous to retiring, and whilst thus sit
uated fell asleep, lost his balance, and
was precipitated to the sidewalk. When
taken up he was found insensible, and
expired before medical aid could reach
him. On examination the ribs of the
left side were found to be broken, be
sides a severe contusion on the bead.
The deceased was a native of Pennsyl
vania ; he came to this city from Phila
delphia in 1853, and has resided here
four years. He was a stone cutter,
worked on the New State House, and
was regarded as a superior workman.
He was much esteemed for his quiet,
peaceable disposition, and for a uniform
steadiness and propriety of conduct.
An inquest was held on the body by D.
B Miller, Esq., and a verdict of acci
dental death rendered.— Columbia .Caro

French and Austrian Commerce. —
The French have al ready begun to seize
Austrian merchantmen in the Adriatic.
There are several Austrian vessels now
in American ports, which left home be
fore the declaration of war, and which,
in the existing state of things, will
hardly venture to re-cross the Atlantic
under the present flag A capture
would be almost inevitable. They
must either be sold, or lie inactive un
til the return of peace. Austrian men
of-war on the high seas are so few and
French ports so much nearer, that
French merchantmen may come and go
from onr shores with little or no risk o f
capture. The total number of vessels
belonging to Austria in 1849, was 6,083,
with a tonnage of 259,689. These have
increased since, at the rate of about five
per cent, per annum. The number of
vessels belonging to France in 1850 was
14.354, with a tonnage of 688,130.
Since 1850 the maritime trade of France
has been far more active than ever be
fore and her shipping has increased pro
portionably faster. France, with her
large navy, will find no difficulty in
blocking every Austrian 'port, and thus
for the time extinguishing Austrian i
commerce altogether ; while Austria
can blockade no French port or in any i
degree barm French commerce.—Jour

Important Decision in a Patent
Case.— Judge Merrick, one of the asso

on Saturday, and which goes to show
the state of leeling existing in that sec
tion of country. A speculator by tho
name of Patterson lias a large lot of
flour at Post’s mill, which he is holding
for an advance, in view of the recent
damaging frosts. On Saturday some |
dozen or more farmers living in the vi- j
cinity repaired to the mill, broke down
the door, each took a barrel of flour, I
and left $8 in the mill for every barrel j
thus removed—all considering that a :
fair price for an article which they |
could not buy with the consent of the
owner.-- Wheeling Intelligencer, June 16.

Great Natual Phenomenon.
Descent of an Immense Metoric Body in
Oswego County.— On Wednesday morning
last the inhabitants of the towns of
Boylston and Redfield, N. Y., were star
tied by the occurrence of a most remar
kable phenomenon —the descent from
the heavens of an immense meteoric
mass. The Oswego Palladium says :
The body struck the earth between
the hours of three and four o’clock, a.
m. with a crash that was truly terrific,
and the shock was sensibly felt off five
miles from the scene. The body fell
upon the farm of Horace Sanger, situn
ted on the line of Boylston and Redfield
striking in a meadow aod partially on
the highway. It is estimated byour in
formant to cover half an acre of land.
The earth was torn up in a terrible man
ner, and large fragments were thrown
a distance of two thirds of a mile. The
mass is very irregular in shape, and
rises in some points to sixty and eighty
feet in height, and is supposed to be
imbedded in the earth as many feet.
The surface generally has the appear
ance of iron ore. The excitement oc
cassioned by the event among the in
habitants was intense, and theerash is
said to have been terrific beyond de
scription. Many supposed that the
final winding up of terrestial affairs had
truly arrived.
James Hadley, an intelligent citizen
of Redfield, furnishes the following
statement :
“ I was awakened about three o’clock
on Wednesday morning, by the room in
which I slept being filled with light,
and immediately heard a rushing sound
like the coming of a great w«nd. This
did not last above a few seconds after I
was awake, when an explosion followed
of which I can give no description—it
was terrific. The whole house shook as
if a hundred cannon had been fired un
der the windows; quite a number of
panes of glass were broken out of the
windows, and the plastering of the
room I was in came tumbling about me.
The light, which was so brilliant that I
could plainly see every object in the
room, was at once extinguished. The
window of my room, is on the opposite
side of the house from the place where
the meteor tell so that I can only judge
of its direction. The light seemed to
come from some body moving very ra
pidly and from south to north, and
seemed to increase rapidly during the
brief space that preceded the explo
sion.”
The aerolite struck the earth in some
timber land belong to Mr. banger, in a
thinly inhabited portion of the town.
We believe Mr Hadley’s is the nearest
dwelling. It seems to have been an al
most spherical body of, as near as we
can judge from the fragments remain
ng, about seventy-five feet in diameter
Its course was from southwest to north
east, and descended at an angle of not
more than thirty degrees from the hori
zon, which is proved by its track through
the heavy hemlock trees before it touch
ed the earth.
The trees are cut through as a cannon
ball would cut through a hedge,leaving
a clear track The velocity must have
been immense. The earth is torn up
for several rods, and huge trees are
6plimered and piledpip like brush. One
large hemlock, at lei-S f >ur feet in di
ainetcr, near whose roots the meteor
struck, was thrown bodily for eighty
yards, crushing the surrounding trees
like pipe stems. Fragments of a huge
sandstone boulder which lay its course,
under the surface were thrown in all
directions, and one weighing half a ton
was found in the road three-fourths of
a mile away.
The Occupation or Milan. —A dis
patch dated June Gth, stated that on
the next day King Victor Emanuel
would enter the city of Milan, and that
the municipality had declared in his fa
vor. Milan is a fortified city, and con
tains a population of 175,000. including
a garrison of 8.000 men. It was the
capital of a republic in the thirteenth
century, and passed successively under
the dominion of Spain and Austria, and
the Flench, who made it the capital of j
the kingdom of Italy in 1805. On the
26th of May, in that year. Napoleon i
Bonaparte was crowned in M lan, with I
the celebrated iion crown of Charlemag
ne, and from it the famous Milan decree
was issued by him in 1807. Milan cap
itulated to the Austrians, August 4,
1848. It is inland, and only two hours
mid a half by railroad from Venice. It
has been beseiged and captured forty
times, and four times destroyed. Yet,
now it is a magnificent city.
