Good night! good night! and pleasant dreams. How sweet to hear from lips we love. Good night, good night, and pleasant dreams. 0! bitter is the exile’s fate, Who wanders from his peaceful cot; No gentle wish, or soothing word, Can mingle in his lonely lot, On some still bank ol moss and flowers Beneath the stars inconstant beams, How sweet to hear from lips we love, Good night, good night, and pleasant dreams. How sweet to hear from lips we love, Good night, good night, and pleasant dreams. Lay of Encourgement. BY GILMORE SIMMS. Oh! what if the prospect be clouded, And what if the sunlight be fled; The bright sun himself may be shrouded, And the bright crown be torn from his head. But he bends never long to the rigor, Os tho tempest that beats on his form; And he comesforth anon full of vigor. More glorious because of the storm. From the sun let tho soul take its moral, Nor shrink neath the battle of life; Near the cypress grows ever the laurel, And we pluck as we please from the strife. Though the foe presses on with his legions, And we bend for the hour to his will, Keep calm in the turbulent region-, And the triumph enures to you still. Poor Douglas.— lt is said that the last that was seen of Senator Douglas alter the vote on the Kansas bill, he was setting on the steps (sober of course) of the National Capital, with his chin be tween liis knees repeating the following strain: “And when I think of what I ar, And what 1 used to was I finds I’ve throwed myself away, Without sufficient cos!” Look Before You Kick. A minister recently while on his way to preach a funeral sermon in the country, called to see one of his members, an old widow lady, who lived near the road he was traveling. The old lady had just been making sausages, and she felt proud of them, they were so plump, round and sweet. Os course she insisted on her minister taking some of the links home to his family. He objected on account of not having his portmanteau along. This objec tion was soon overruled, and the old lady after wrapping them in a rag. carefully placed a bundle in either pocket of the preacher’s capricious coat. Thus equipped, he started for the funeral. While attending to the solemn ceremonies of the grave, some hungry dogs scented the sausages, and were not long in tracking them to the pockets of tho good man’s overcoat. Os course this was great annoyance, and he was several times under the necessity of kicking those whelps away. The obsequies at the grave completed, the minister and congregation repaired to the church where the fu neral discourse was to be preached. After the sermon was finished, the minister halt ed to make some remarks to his congregation, when a brother, who wished to have an appointment given out, ascended the steps of the pulpit, and gave the minister’s coat a hitch to get his atten tion. The divine, thinking it a dog hav.ng a de sign upon his pocket, raised his foot, gave a sud den kick, and sent the good brother sprawling down the steps. “You will excuse me brethren and sisters!” said the minister confusedly, and without looking at the work he had just done, “for I could not avoid has been trying to grab tnem ever since i upon the premises.” Our readers may judge of the effect such an an nouncement would have at a funeral. Reminiscences or Fox.—lt is quite true, says Rodgers, as stated in several accounts of him, that°Fox, when a very young man, was a prodig ious dandy—wearing a little odd French hat, shoes with red heels, &c. “He and Lord Carlisle once travelled from Paris to Lyons for the express pur pose of buying waistcoats; and during the whole journey they talked about nothing else. Fox, (in his earlier days, I mean) Sheridan Fitz patrick, 4-c.. led such a life I Lord Tankerville assured me that he has played cards with Fitz patrick at Brookes’ from ten o’clock at night till near six o’clock the next afternoon, a waiter stand ing by to tell them “whose deal it was,” they being too sleepy to know. After losing large sums at hazard, Fox would go home—not to destroy himself as his friends sometimes feared, but—to sit down quietly and read Greek. He once won about eight thousand pounds; and one of his bond creditors, who soon heard of his good luck, presented himself and asked for pay ment “Impossible, sir,” replied Fox, 1 must first discharge mv debts of honor.” The bond-creditor remonstrated. “Well, sir, give me your bond.”— Il was delivered to Fox, who tore it in pieces and threw them into the fire. “Now, sir,” said Fox, “my debt to you is a debt ol honor;” and immedi ately paid him. The Tender Passion.— Thackeray says, that when a man is ill love with one woman in a fam ily,it is asionishing how fond he becomes of every person connected with it. He ingratiates himself with the maids; he is bland with the butler; he in terests himself with the footman; he runs on er rands for the daughters; be gives advice and lends monev to the young son at College; he smiles at old stories, which would make him break out in vavvnswere they uttered by any one but papa, he drinks sweet Port wine for which he would curse the steward and the whole committee of a club; he bears even with the cantankerous old maiden aunt —he beats time when darling little Fanny per forms her piece on the piano; and smiles when wicked lively little Bobby upsets the coflee over his shirt. “Niggers or Nothing.” —The ship-owners on Saturday evening resolved that “the American flag covers the cargo,” whether that cargo consists of niggers “or nothing.” That’s the talk. Suppose an American war vessel should board an English ship because it was supposed to be engaged in the coolie trade; would there not be a row? Yet we must put up with all kinds of insults, simply because somebody takes a few niggers from the jungles of Africa to Cuba. So says the New York Day Book. A Good Whitewash. —Take a halt bushel of fresh burned white lime, and slack it either with hot or cold water, in a tub or barrel. When tho roughly slacked, dissolve in the water required to thin the lime, two quarts of common salt, stir it thoroughly, add one quart of sweet milk, and it is ready for use to put on with a brush. This wash is for the outside of buildings, fences etc., and is verv durable. Some put glue in while wash, and others flour and rice paste; but these render it liable to scale off in very dry weather. The above wash may be made a cream color by the addition of ochre. The above whitewash is all that can be desired for the interior of houses, excepting the sail, it must be omitted, as it tends to imbibe moisture. — French white is superior to lime washes for the ceilings of rooms, as it is not so liable to turn yel lowish in color, but it rubs off so easily that it can not be used for walls. jgp” “Why are there so few convicts in the Michigan Penitentiary this year?” asked Sam’s friend a day or two since. “Why,” said Sam, “they send them by the Pontiac Rail Road and t teir time expires before they get there.” A man of philosophical temperament resembles a cucumber —for although he may be completely cut up, he always remains cool. Suicide of “Frank Forrester.” —Henry Wm. Herbert, better known as “Frank Forrester,” who for the past twenty-five years has written several works of fiction and treatises on games of various kinds, committed suicide this morning at the Ste vens house, Broadway, by shoo ing himself in the heart with a pistol. He at one time published the American Monthly Magazine, in connexion with Charles Fenno Hoffman, anu has writted for near ly every literary periodical of character in this country. He was born in England, in 1812, and came to this country about a quarter of a century ago. H.s father was a distinguished Dean in the church of England, and of aristocratic stock. Mr. Herbert leaves a widow to whom he had been mar ried but three months. The coroner will hold an inquest this afternoon. Domestic and other troub les are the causes assigned for the act. — N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Mr. Herbert’s Letter to the Press* The following letter addressed to the Press oi America, was found upon the table of Mr. Heroert, with the follow ing inscription on the envelope. “TO THE PRESS OF AMERICA.” “The Tribune, Times, Courier and Enquirer, with a request to copy.” “To the Press of the United States of America.'’ “Before going to my account, I would say a few words to the Press of America, and to men among whom I have for many years been more or less associated. , ‘I have my faults,my failings; I have done my share of evil in my life, as all men have done ; perhaps I have done my share of good likewise.’ ‘Of my private history, few men know anything, fewer still know much—no one knows the whole; it cannot concern the public to know anything. Asa writer let me be judged; as a man let my God Judge me. I implore not praise, not a favorable construc tion—l implore silence For what I have to ac count with God, let me account with God, and not willi man, who may uncertainly perceive arid distinguish facts, but certainly cannot perceive, causes or divine notions or intentions. “1 do not ask charity—l only implore silence. ‘Let the good that I have done, if any, be in terred with my bones; let the evil, also—for the evil, I can say positively, is such as can do no evil after me. I have taught. I have inculcated, I have pur forth nothing which I did not believe to be good and true. In all my writings, I have writ ten no line of which I am ashamed, no word which I desire to blot. ‘I have done many things wrongly, many things of which I am ashamed, many things of which I have sincerely repented, many things under the pressure arid temptation of poverty and necessity, to which I am not accustomed by my condition, which I hope I should not do again under any temptation. I am very sorry I have been weak at times and have fallen ; who has not done so ? “For justice sake, for charity’s sake, for God’s sake, let me rest. I bear an honorable name.— 1 have striven hard, in great trials, in great temptations, in a foreign country, in a false posi tion among men who did not, perhaps could not, sympathize with me, to keep it honora ble—as you would have your own names hon ored and your sons preserve them to you, 1 charge yon do not dishonor mine. Few will miss me when I am gone probably none lament me—so be it! Only, I implore you do not misinterpret and malign me. “Having said this, I have said nearly all—one word more only—if, as I presume will be the case, my earnest and hopeful appeal for repose be disre garded—if the vultures ofthe press pounce on my cold remains, to tear, through them the heartstrings of my living relatives —to blazon forth all my mis fend me. Defence only provokes bitter attack,and gives a keener tooth to scandal. “I die, forgiving every man who has wronged me, asking forgiveness of every man whom I have wronged. I have atoned, so far as I know, or can atone, for every wrong 1 have ever done. “I have the means, I believe, if they be carefully managed, to pay everything that I owe, and, per haps, to leave a small surplus. ‘I never shrank, while I was alive, from meeting the consequences of my deeds face to face. I never said a word to a man’s back which 1 would not or did not say to his face. “Remember now, all you that would assail me, that my back is tamed forever; that henceforth I can disprove no slander that is spoken of me; that from no accnsation, how false soever, can I prove myself not guilty. Os all cowardice, the most base and cruel is to strike the dead, who can make no defence or answer.” “I ask no praise. Do not praise me—probably I deserve none.” “I deserve reproach, doubtless, for I am mortal, and have sinned. Say so, then, of me if yon say anything, and let my sins go with my mortality to His judgement, who can tell, not only when and where, but why they were committed and how far they have palliation—how far they deserve par don.” “Remember, also, when you judge me, that of all lives, mine has been the most unhappy.” ‘•No counsellor, no friends, no country have been mine lor six and twenty dreary years; every hope has broken down under my foot as soon as it touched it, every spark of happiness has been quenched as soon as it has been kindled. If I have sinned much and sorrowed much, I have also loved much more perhaps than I have either sinned or sorrowed. It is the last drop that overflows the golden bowl, the last tension that breaks the silver chord. My last hope is gone— my last love and my life go together—and so, good night to HENRY’ HERBERT. May 18, 1858. Sketch of Luther by Carlyle. A coarse, rugged, plebian face it was, with great crags of cheek-bones—a wild amount of passionate energy and appetite ! But in his dark eyes were floods of sorrow ; and deepest melancholy, sweet ness, and mystery were ali there. Often did there seem to meet fa Luther the very opposite poles in man’s character. He, for whom Richter had said that his words were half battles ; he, when he first began to preach,suffered unheard agony. “Oh, Dr. Staupitz,” said he to the vicar-gerieral of his order, “I shall die in three months. Indeed I cannot do it.” Dr. Staupitz, a wise and considerate man, said upon this, “Well, sir, Martin, if you must die, you must; but remember that they need good heads up yonder too. So preach, man, preach, and then live or die, as it happens.” So Luther preached and lived, and he became, indeed, one great whirl wind of energy, to work without resting iD this world, and also, before he died, he wrote very many books—booas in which the true man—for in the midst of all they denounced and cursed, what touches of tenderness lay. Look at the Table Talk for example. \/e see in it a little bird, having alighted at sun set on the bough of the pear tree that grew in Lu ther’s garden. Luther looked upon it and said : “That little bird, how it covers its wings, and will sleep there, so still and fearless, though over it are the infinite starry spaces, and the great blue depths of immensity. Yet it fears not—it is at home.— The God that made it too, is there.” The same gentle spirit of lyrical admiration is in the other passages of his book. Coming home from Leipsic in the autumn season, he breaks forth into living wonder at the fields of corn. “How it stands there,” he says, “erect on the beautiful taper stem, and bending its beautiful golden head with bread in it—the bread of man sent to him another year.”— Such thoughts as these are as little windows, through which we gaze into the interior of the depths of Martin Luther’s soul, and see visible, across its tempests and clouds, a whole heaven of light and love. He might have painted—he might have sung—could have been beautilul like Ra phael, great like Michael Angelo. | The chess prodigy, Paulain, is playing ten games at once blindfolded at that, in Chicago, Expunctlon of the Rule on Slavery. It is known to our readers that the discipline oi the Methodist church contained a rule on this subject whicii forbade “the buying and selling of men, women and chil dren with an intention to enslave them.” The rale israth er pliant by reason of its phraseology, and, accordingly, has been made to bend to two constrcctions—one repudiating the African Slave trade—the other, the institution of sla very itself. It will be readily understood, why the exis tence o I the rule was a source of great annoyance to the church, South. This feeling found expression at various times in efforts to secure its expuuction- The annual Conference of the Slate of Alabama was the first to move in the matter. Its action was followed up by simitar ac tion on the part of other annual conferences until the re quisite majority (three fourths) was obtained, and now in obedience to their united recommendation the general con ference closes the matter by striking the offensive rule from the record. The vote on the resolution to expunge was, yeas 140 ; nays 8 ; absentees 3. Asa matter of interest, of many of our readers we sub join the following remarks of Bishop Pierce delivered im mediately after the above vote had been taken Mr. President : I desire to make a remark cal culated, perhaps, to allay the feeling of the body in relation to the action just had. The design of the Alabama Conference in originating that resolution, and of the Annual Conferences which have sup ported it, is misapprehended by some. The whole philosophy of the proceeding seems to be founded on the fact, that it is not the province of the Church to decide any question with reference to African slavery. The Southern Church maintains that sla very is not a subject ofecelesiastical legislation.— The single object was, that while we disclaimed •he right of legislation on that subject, we wished to make the Discipline cotilorm to that profession. The Conference, by its action this morning, has not parted with its authority, or the authority or the authority of the Church, over its members, in any respect. Every member of the Church claims to be a loyal citizen. We declare here that African slavery is a purely civil institution; and there is no reason for alarm about losing Church control.— If we turn to the 23d Article of Religion, we shall find there that the Church retains its proper author ity over its members with reference to this subject. We therefore, by this act, simply maintain our original position—that of having nothing to do with the subject of slavery more than any other civil matter over which the laws of the country are ex tended. I beg the brethren therefore to be easy. There is nothing here to warrant any construction looking towards a repeal ofthe laws of the United States in regard to the African slave trade. There is no occasion for sensitiveness, nor for any legis lation on the subject anywhere else. No harm has been done to anybody to-day. We have only set ourselves right on a vexed question, and we may safely defy all the efforts of our enemies, North and South, to damage the Church for taking a clera position upon this subject. METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE. From the Nashville papers and private sources we learn that” the following action transpired in this body on Wednesday last: GENERAL RULE ON SLAVERY. The order of the day now came up: the report of the committee appointed yesterday to digest and arrange the chief merits of the several propositions that had been submitted to the Conference touch ing ‘he Generul Rule on Slavery. T. O. Summers, chairman of that committee, read the report, as follows: Report ofthe Committee on expanding the Gen eral Rule forbidding the buying and selling of men, women and children , with an intention to enslave them. The committee appointed to report a preamble and resolutions in regard to the expunction ofihe rrt&Wfl-GvLGfiaW-d RuJny ;‘jijo r lui^uur fol owing as the result of their de.iberaiions: Whereas, The rule in the General Rulesof the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, fofbidding “the buying and selling of men, women and chil dren, with an intention to enslave them,” is ambig uous in its phraseology, and liable to as antagonistic to the institution of slavery, in re gard to which the Church has no right to meddle, except in enforcing the duties of masters and ser vants, as set forth in “the Holy Scriptures; and whereas, a strong desire for the expunction e*'said rule has been expressed in nearly all parts of out ecclesiastical connection ; therefore, Resolved, 1. By the delegates of the Annual Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in General Conference assemhl and, that the rule forbidding “the buying and selling of men, women and children, with an intention to enslave them,” be expunged from the General Rules of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Resolved, 2 That in adopting theforegoing res olution this Conference expresses no opinion in regard to the African slave trade, to which the rule in question has been “understood” to refer. Resolved, 3. That the Bishops, or others presi ding in the Annual Conferences, t e and are hereby instructed to lay the foregoing resolutions before each of the Annual Conferences at their next en suing sessions, for their concurrent action. Resolved, 4. That the President ot each Annual Conference shall be required, as soon as possible after the adjournment of the Conference, to report to the Book Editor the vote on the resolution to expU’ ge the rule in question ; and when the Book Editor shall have received returns from all the Annua! Conferences voting on the said resolution, he shall lay the information before one of the Bish ops, and if it shall be found that there is a concur rence of three fourths of ail the members of the Annual Conferences present, and voting on the resolution in favor of the expunging of the rule, the Bishop shall direct the Book Editor to expunge it accordingly. Resolved, 5. That if any Annual Conference or Conferences refuse or neglect to vote on the afore said resolution, the members of such Conference or Conferences shall not be counted for or against the expunging of the rule. Resolved, 6. That the publication of the forego ing preamble and resolutions in the Church papers shall be considered a sufficient notification of the action of this Conference in the premises. Resolved, 7. That the Bishops are respectfully requested to 6et forth in the Pastoral Address the platform occupied by the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, on the relation of masters aud ser vants, agreeably to the principles contained in the foregoing preamble and resolutions. This report was adapted by a vote of ayes, 140 —nays, B—absentees, 3. The Methodist Conference on Dress. The subject of amending the Discipline of the Methodist Church by expugning the rule prohibi ting gaudy attire and ornament was discussed in the general Conference on Thursday The resolution in question recommends the stri king out from the Discipline section 8, on page 108, entitled “Os Dress.” Mr. Lusk was in favor of striking out the rule, because it was a dead lettei. What class of Methodists conformed to this rule? Go into our churches in Louisville, Nashville, Charleston, New Orleans, and gold was seen ev erywhere, in every form that it would be seen up on a Broadway dandy in New York. Such wl the laxity of administration, that candidates would be received into the church, though loaded down with a weight of gold under which they could scarcely walk. Persons would be taken into full connection, would be licensed to preach, would be recommended to the traveling connection, though wearing gold in every form. It was a reproach.— It was thrown to us in every part of the Connec tion. Why then retain the rule, which was a dead letter? That we might revive it? As well think of reviving an Egyptian mummy, that had been sleeping three thousand years! The Speaker continued to declaim in a most edifying manner about gold studs, and gold sleeve buttons, and gold spectacles, and gold watch-chains, and gold headed canes, and five hundred dollar diamond breastpins; and his style rose to the sublimity of hia theme, and his speech throughout was fraught P. H. COLQUITT, Editor. with n most refreshing fervor. Methodist preach ers, he said, would hasten to meet the rich, loaded down with jewelry, when they came forward to join the church, while the poor and afflicted were neglected and uncared for, etc., etc. Mr. Drake, and Mr J. E. Edwatds opposed striking out. L. Pearce offered an amendment. L. M. Lee was in favor of erasing it, because it was too vague, and dictating about dress was a delicate matter. Mr. Maffitt, said the speaker, when asked why he did not preach against dress, replied, that when he went bird-shooting, he al ways tried to shoot down the bird, and not to shoot off the feathers. So ministers had enough to do to preach Christ and him crucified. Other remarks were made, when, on the call for the previous question by E. Wadsworth, the subject was indefinitely postponed. Bishop Soule, with reference to the foregoing, said : It is made the duty of the preachers to read the General Rules (with reference to super fluous ornaments) once a quarter in every society, and once a year in every congregation. Has this been done? and may it not be that the neglect on the part of the preachers on this important point in the instructions, may have contributed in some de gree to the increase of superfluity of ornament in the Church ? If this had been carried out faithfully by the preachers, I thmk there would have been an improved condition of things in res pect to this matter. The brother said this section had done no good. I think very differently. At least, sir, fifty years ago it did good The Metho dists of that day were a simple people under the observance of their rules. They knew each other everywhere they met. They came out from the world, sir—they were separated from the world. The Catholic Church and the Slave Question. The Archbishop and Bishops of the Catholic Church, who receotly assembled in provincial coun cil in Baltimo-e, have issued a pastoral letter to the clergy and laity of that denomination. Among other subjects to which it refers is the slavery question. We make the following extract: “The peaceful and conservative character of our principles, which are adapted to every form of government and every state of society, has been tested and made manifest in the great political struggles that have agitated the country on the subject of domestic slavery. Although history plainly testifies that the Church has always befrien ded the poor and laboring classes, and effectually procured tho mitigation of the evils attached to servitude, until through her mild influence it pas sed away from the nation of Europe; yet she has never disturbed established order or endangered the peace of society by following theories ol philan thropy. “Faithful to the teachings and example of the apostles, she has always'taught servants to obey their masters, not serving to the eye merely, but as to Christ, and in His name she commands mas ters to treat their servants with humanity and jus tice, reminding them that they also have a Master in heaven. We have not, therefore, found it ne cessary to modify our teaching with a view of adapting it to local circumstances. Among us there has been no agitation on this subject. Our clergy have wisely abstained from all interference with the judgment of the faithful, which should be free on all questions of polity and social order, within the limits, ofthe doctrine and law of Christ. We exhort you, venerable brethren, to pursue this course, so becoming the “ministers of Christ and dispensers of the mysteries of God.” Let the dead bury their dead. Leave to worldings the cares and anxieties of political partizanship, the struggles for ascendancy, and the mortifications of disapp”inted ambition. Do not, in anv way, identify the inter ests ofour holy faith with the fortunes of any par ty ; but, preaching peace and good will to all man kind, study only to win to truth the deluded cliil to Christ.” Presbyterian Crukch. —ln the General As sembly, says the Savannah Republican the Rev. Mr. Coe, Secretary of Church Extension Commit tee, presented a report of the action of the commit tee during the year past, of which the following is a summary: The receipts from all sources during the past year exceed those of the previous year nearly SISOO. 618 churches have sent in their contributii'iis.— The amount appropriated to churches this year is nearly SIO,OOO above that distributed the past voar. The applications for relief required a fund $(2,000 larger than what would have sufficed last year The balance in the trea-mry at the close of last year was $8,634,58. The receipts from Anril 1, 1857, to April 2, 1858, amount to $24,74115; tfie expenditures to $24, 381,03-leaving and appro priate balance in the treasury of $8,991,70. 76 churches have been aided in the construction of church edifices. 47 of this number cost from SSOO to 2500,22 from $2 500 to $5,000 ; 7 over SSOOO. During the two and a half years the com mittee have been at work they have aided in the construction of 205 church offices. The work of the committee, it is evident, has been among the poor. The committee have knowledge of 450 or ganized churches which have no house of worship. The average contribution to a needy church has been SIOO. The operations of the commifee have been conducted without collecting agents or a corps of salaried offieeis. Be Cheerful—There are not a few who, even in this life, seem to be preparing themselves for the smileiess eternity to which they lo> k forwaad, by banishing all gayety from their hearts and all joyousness from their countenances. I meet one such in the street not unfrequently, a person of in telligence and education, but who gives me, and all that pass, such a rayless and chilling look ot re cognition, something as if he were one ofHeaveat’s assessors, come down to “doom” every acquain tance he met, that 1 have sometimes begun to sneeze on the snot, and gone home with a violent cold, dating from that instant. I don’t doubt he would cut his kitten’s tail off, if he caught her play ing with it. Please, tell me, who taught her to play with it ?— Holmes. Green in Ladies’ Dresses. —Something singu lar, if not significant, is the amazing predominance, just now, of the tint of green in ladies’ habiliment. In a large sale of valuable shawls recently, it was noticed that this grateful hue was prominent in ail the most beautiful, late and costly patterns.— The flounces of-ilks, bareges and grenadines, show the same color. The bonnet materials incline to it, and triumphs in the wreaths and sprays that flourish so near the cheek ot beauty. It is not the golden green ofthe moss, or the rosebud, nor the silk of the young ear, nor the verdure of the ten der grass of April; it is a chastened, sober green, pure and delicate as the crested sea wave and al lying itself harmoniously with the pale violet and the Tilac blossoms. It has a freshness that suits the spring costume, and a coolness, that attracts the eye atnid th heats of summer. Yet, it has never been so universally a favorite as now. — Fashion seems in love with nature for once, and resolved to appropriate her livery.— New York Express. Protect the Robin. —lt is found that robins sub sist chiefly upon the worst enemies of the frui* trees, the curculios. Not the first particle of vege table matter is ever found in the crop of a single bird. This settles the question in favor of the robin, and he who kills one of the beautilul song ster, for sport, or food, or an other cause, deserves to be fed with wormy fruit for the remaining years of his natural life. “A Vinculo Matrimonii." —Out of thirteen ca ses, tried at the present session of Bibb Superior Court, (as given in the Georgia Citizen) and which is not half through, five were libels for di vorce. - .
