tV. 1 regret that the proceedings of the Democrat
Tke Great Piratical Naliaa of the World.
History makes ns acquainted with the fact, that
for many years the people of llritain were harras-
sed and plundered by bands of pirates and free
hooters of Scandinavian origin; who from the
shores of the Baltic made incessant inroads upon
the more wealthy but less warlike inhabitants of
England and France. Alone time these Northern
pirates, under the names of Normans and Danes
conquered and governed a large portion of Eng
land, and several laige provinces in France.—
Whether the English nation has inherited a pas
sion for plunder and robbery from their Scandina
vian ancestors, or whether their insular situation
lias made them pirates by necessity, we shall
not decide, but the fact is notorious, that for the
last two hundred years the British nation by land
and sea has been the great pirate and robber na
tion of the world. The boasted exploits of Dam-
pier Anson aud Drake, when viewed by the light
of impartial history were acts of piracy and rob
bery. B\ hat was the seizurejof a Spanish fleet
loaded with silver, on their way from South Ameri
ca to Cadiz, in time of peace hut an actof Nation
al piracy perpetrated by command of a British
prime Minister and sanctioned by a British Par
liament? What was the seizure by force of the
whole Danish fleet in the harbor of Copenhagen
in time of peace by order of a British Minister,
and sanctioned hv a British parliament, but an
act of National piracy? These are but a few in
stances among many of their acts of piracy by
sea: but if one half of which they have been guil-

Col. Cnrtlnrr,
Humors are being circulated, ^avs Judge Starnes
cf Augusta, that Col. James Gardner, signed a pe
tition in favor of the ‘Algerine Law.” In reply
to a letter .from Judge Starnes in relation to this
matter, Col. Gardner states that he did not sign j t} ie y are going to make war upon China. A na
tion which for three or four thousand years has
Britain carefully and impartially we shall see that
they have been National Robbers by Sand as well
as pirates by sea. Under the plea of establishing
trading factories they have gradually conquered
nearly all of Southern Asia, and enslaved nearly
one hundred and fifty millions of human beings.
Under a permit to cut logwood on the shores of
Central America they lay claim to a large portion
of that country, and would have taken possession
ofiterenow if the United States had permitted
them. And now under the plea of avenging
wrongs which they themselves have provoked,
such petition, but was opposed to the Law. In
justice to Col Gardner, we make this statement.
A ttrnil Riiliilir.
The present Editor of the Columbus Enquirer
r\ Jently believes that the mant'e of Samuel has
fallen upon him. That because he occupies the
ciiair, of course he inherits the wit and irony or his
predecessor: a greater mistake could hardly have
been made; and if he has not found it out, his
readers certainly have.
Knit ltoad from Eatonion to itVnrlioon.
We publish, in another column, an article from
tlie Savannah Republican, advocating the build
ing of a Rail Road from Eatonton to Madison.
Wo agree with the Republican in all it says of the
importance of this work. It is a public necessity.
It will make the Seat of Government accessible
hr railway from all parts of the State, and by a
connection of the great trunks of the Central and
Georgia Rail Roads, will be an important step to
wards completing the Rail Rond system in Geor
gia—: But we cannot endorse what the Republican
savs about the projected Macon and Warrenton
Rail Road. Here is a proposition to run a direct
line across the State connecting the cities of Ma
con and Augusta, and opening to the South-West
a channel to Market much needed. Why should
not this Road be built? Its importance has been
lung felt, and public attention has been directed
to it for a great many years. But It is thought iu
case it is constructed, it may be a competitor with
the Central Rail Road, for freight from the West
enjoyed unparalelled peace and prosperity, and
which in all probability would now be at peace
with all the world if they could have escaped
British intrigue and intermeddling. Impartial
history will show that for more than a hundred
years the British nation has been the great pirati
cal and robber nation of the world. No nation
or people has escaped the effects of their rapacity
and intrigues. Twice within that time we have
had to grapple with her in a death struggle to
maintain our individual and national rights. She
has robbed’-France of Canada, her possessions in
the East Indies, and nearly all her possessions in
the West Indies. She has robbed Spain of Gib
raltar, and nearly all of her West India possessions.
She has robbed Holland of the Cape of Good
Hope and many other colonies. She holds by the
robber’s right, the right of force, Malta and many
other positions in various parts of the world, and
is now preparing to reduce millions of the peace
ful inhabitants of China to the most abject slave
ry. And yet with all of these national sins upon
her he»d, with her hands reeking with the blood
of millions; with her .store houses filled with plun
der; with millions in her coffers which has been
wrung from her slaves in India by means of tor
ture, England presumes to lecture the United
States upon her fillibustering propensities Her
writers from week to week and from day to day
mourn over the sins of American slavery, whilst
they hold in much more cruel bondage a hundred
and fifty millions of timid Asiatics, and aremak-
and South-West, and may enable the city of ling preparations to conquer and enslave three
Charleston to compete successfully with Savannah hundred millions of unoffending Chinese. With
fi r the trade of the West and South-West portions j all of these facts staring them in the face, we are
of our State. The best answer to this argument, if compelled to admit that England is not only the
it can be so called, is, that Savannah will be Dear-1 great piratical and robber nation of the world, but
er than Charleston to the initial points of its own j that she is also the most hypocritical nation of the
world. Too much importance lias been given in
this country to the opinions of writers in England.
For a long time the people of the United States
have shrunk hack with unbecoming timidity from
the censures of the British press. We should
learn that a large portion of the British press is
controlled by tlie British government, and is in
fluenced by British polities. We should observe
that tie- British government and people do not in
the least follow the rules laid down by them for
others- and that tlie opinion^f their writers con
cerning us and other nations, is entirely decided
by self interest. When they wish to wheedle us
into any of their selfish schemes, we are their good
cousins, and are likely to become under their in
struction a very great people. But if we presume
to think or act difforenrly from them, then we are
nothing but a vile rabble of fillibusters, slave-
drivers and Democrats. Americans will have to
learn that the opinions of the British press are al
ways swayed by prejudice, and whether favorable
or otherwise arc not worth a straw.
Democratic I'«mrc.
We are surprised to find that in neatly all tl.e
County Conventions of the Democratic party re-
eently'helJ in the State, the delegates to the Gu
bernatorial Convention have been selected by
committees appointed by the chairman of the sev
eral meetings. The Fayette county convention is

Auierirnn Stair Convention.
A number of the American prints agree with us,
that the time has arrived for the call of a Conven
tion of the American Party to make their nomina
tion of a candidate for Governor, and at the same
time take such other action as they may deem ne-
cessary in the piesent attitude of public affairs.
The last Journal fr Messenger we see suggests that
tlie party meet on the 7th or 8th of July—that
meetings be at once held in the different counties,
•‘composed of the friends of reform, regardless of
old party ties, and able and discreet men be select
ed as delegates to that body.”
The Executive Committee have, we are gratified
to learn, taken the matter into consideration, and
will shortly issue their official call.
AVe out the above characteristic pronunciamento
from the last Southern Recorder. And so it is fixed,
that we are to have an “American State Conven-
lion,”*at.d a candidate of the “American Party”
for Governor! This momentous and mysterious
subject is solved. Doubtless thousands will breathe
e. ier. new that it is positively ascertained that
the “American Party” will fight: for we have as
surances that many men believed the “American
■till, it is the duty of the Know Nothings to with
hold opposition to an Administration so friendly to
the South, and so hated and abused by the Aboli
tionists, as Mr. Buchanan’s. But what more could
he expected of a set of political crusaders, who
be abandoned in them which concentrates power
in the hands of the few.— Times .V Sentinel.
Friend Lomax failed to read the proceedings of
the Democratic meeting in Baldwin county, pub
lished in our last issue, or he would not have said
b ar upon their banners the talismanic word j that the “Fayette county convention” was the
only one that had adopted the nomination and bal
lot system. The writer of these lines, made the
proposition in the Baldwin meeting, because be
wished to have the expression of the meeting, not
that of a clique. AVe hope the plan will, hereafter,
meet with more favor from our Democratic friends.
“REFORM” ? Oh the charm of that little word
of six letters, and two of them alike, Reform!
AA'iiat good has it not accomplished! AA’hat ruin
has it not brought upou the world!—Reform—“the
friends of Reform,” say the Recorder and the
Journal &■ Messenger, must get together on the
7th or Btli of July, and put things to rights, j j t ' ls democratic, and it is right.
Now, gentlemen, what are tlie measures of “Re-1 ■ _

of this mysterious affair. On the announcement of
the verdict of “Not Guilty,” Mrs. Cunningham is
tor the present condition of the Country had you
the power; and we should be unwilling to let you
experiment upon a state of things altogether so ac-
ceptible as the present. You could nut improve it
—von might impair it.
Is it State Politics you would reform ? What
have become of the boasted measures of reform
you promised the People, in the States and in the
cities where, bv fraud and corruption, and fighting
and ballot-box breaking, you have attained the su
premacy. In what single instance, pray tell us,

For awhile the Public will be interested with
the solution of the problem, if Mrs. C. and Eckel
did not murder Dr. Burdell, who did? and no other
clue to the horrible mystery having been arrived
at, this interestingsubjeet will be pushed aside, to
make way tor some new “sensation” which will
“strut its Iriefhour on the stage.” It is said
that the decision of tlie Jury in this case,
gave much satisfaction in New A'ork. It will fail
to give satisfaction elsewhere. Thousands
and tens of thousands outside of New
A'ork, who have read the evidence iu the
trial of Mrs. C. as well as the testimony before
the Coroner, do not entertain a doubt as to the

tify the faintest shadow of a reasonable hope, that
Know Notliingism can inaugurate any good or
wholesome measure? There is none. Having been
compelled to abandon every leading principle upon
which the Party was first organized—having pul
led out, one by one, the main pillars in the struc
ture. Know Nothiugism stands now before thc
ties, and they be entirely ignorant of it, may be
also true, hut we will never believe it. It is said
“Murder will out." For the sake of this woman
aud Justice, we hope it may. For so long as it
remains a mystery, each will suffer.

have no idea of hearing any new and worthy sug

positively certain that no amount of energy and
zeal on their part can induce thc people of Georgia
to try it by their recommendation.

of men, who would he guilty of such imposition,
have not moral honesty enough—admitting they
had the ability—to compound even a moderately
decent preparation. They are consequently know
ingly trilling with the lives of the community,

mere counterfeits. We do not think the word

The Southern Recorder puts Rail Road Stock to
be taken by Hancock $I59.0QQ, Macon and
Jones $200JMJO Baldw in and AA'arreneach $75,1100
making the half-million appropriated to those
places.—AA'e think $25,000 subtracted from Han
cock and added to Baldwin would be about right.
Nevertheless, we have no doubt Baldwin will raise
$100,000 and Hancock $150,000 if thereby the
Road can be secured. AA’e are anxiously awaiting
the result ofthe action of the Stockholders ofthe
Georgia Railroad now in session, as almost every
thing depends on that. A favorable report will
give new spirit to the enterprise, and ensure its
success in our opinion, whatever may be the ver
dict of Charleston. An unfavorable report will
throw such adamper that we fear nothing will be
done. In that event we have a project that if
acted on will yet secure our County a Railroad and
a good market.—Sous Ferrous.—Central Georgian.
Don't say you “fear nothing will be done,”
Mr. Georgian. If a railroad connection with your
region, and with Macon, is of such vital interest as
we all conceive it to be, we should not stand idle,
waiting for others to take the first step in its con
struction. The Georgia Road may aid the pro
ject yet, but if it does not. it must be built by the
people who are to be most benefitted by it. It is
believed that Augusta and Charleston will build
half of it, if the people along the road, and at its
terminus, will build the other half. AA’ho says they
will not? It will return to us all, fourfold, in the
enhanc' d value of property contiguous to it. anti in
the general prosperity it would induce. The road
must be built.—Dispatch.
The comments of the Augusta Dispatch on the re
marks of the Central Georgian, have the right ring
Let Augusta, Charleston and the South Carolina
and AA’arrenton Road, and the other half will be
built ‘ by the people along the Road” and the peo
ple of Macon. Let them agree to do this, and the
Georgia Rail Road will find it to their interest to
subscribe to the stock. The road can he built,
directly from Macon to Augusta, without the aid
of the Georgia Railroad, if Charleston, the S. C. Rail
Road and the city of Augusta will agree to build
oue half. -
dir. A. II. .Stephen*.
AVe have seen a statement going the rounds,
principally, we believe, in opposition papers, that
Mr. Stephens had determined to retire from Con
gress. AA’e know not what foundation there may
be for this report—we hope there is none—and if
Mr. Stephens has ever come to any such determi
nation, that he will reconsider and reverse it.
This is not the time for the strong men of the
South to retire from Congress. Georgia cannot
spare Mr. Stephens at this time from her delega
tion; his place could not be supplied by a new
man, and we believe the people of the 8th District
will insist upon his returningto the position where
his services have been so useful to his Country,
and so honorable to himself. No man in Congress
at this time can do more service to his State and
section, than Mr. Stephens, and we trust that, on
reflection, he will be convinced that it is his duty
to serve his country for some time longer.
AA'ood’s Hair Dye.—This admirable article is
rapidly improving the hair. No article of a similar
kind, now before the public, enjoys a better repu
tation as a restorative and invigorating hair tonic.
Its peculiar chemical qualities have a beneficial ef
fect upon the grow tli and character of hair, giving
a silky and glossy texture to that which was form
erly of a coarse and dry nature It has, also, we
understand, a tendency to preserve the youtliful
color and appearance of tlie hair, and destroying
or counteracting the effects of age. AV'ith such re
commendations in its favor, we hardly perceive
how any lady or gentleman should lie without so
valuable an adjunct to their toilet. The article

still think it due to the Hon. AA'm. Mosely of

compromising antipathy against Know Nothing-

Democratic Meeting in Clinch.
Agreeable to a previous notice a large number
of the citizens of Clinch assembled at the Court
House in Magnolia on Tuesday the 5th iust., for
the purpose of appointing delegates to attend the
Convention to be held in Milledgeville on the
10th of Juno next, to nominate a Governor.
On motion of BIr. R. Y. Stanford, Jesse Smith,

Resolved, That we believe the 1 (;tli of June the
most suitable time for holding the Gubernatorial
Convention, but should another day be fixed
upon to hold said Convention, tlie Delegates ap
pointed by this meeting are authorized to attend to
represent the Democracy of Clinch.
Resolrcd, That the Delegates that attend the
Convention are authorized to cast the vote for
those that may not be present.
Resolrcd, That the Democratic party of Clinch
do heartily endorse the course of Col. James L.
Seward, our Representative in Congress, and in
our opinion he has done more service to benefit his
constituents and promote their best interest than
any man that ever represented the first District,
and he is our first choice as a candidate at the en
suing election.
Resolrcd, that the Delegates appointed to attend
the Convention to nominate a Governor are re
quested to attend the Convention to nominate

Rail Road from .Madison to Eatonton.
AVe published in our last the proceedings of a
meeting at Madison on the subject of this desirable
line of Railroad.
Such a line of road would nearly, if not quite,
complete the system" of roads in Georgia, except
in those portions of the State lying above Athens,
in a north easterly direction, on thc one hand, and
in the south-west, on the other hand. By this
contemplated short road, the Capitol in Bliliedge-
ville would be accessible more directly, and from
every quarter. If it shall be built, as we hope it
may, the Seat of Government will he permanent in
M illedgeville, where it should be, in view of the
facts that tlie lot-holders of that town bought their
land from tin* State, on a pledge that the Capitol
should be permanently there, and have done and
are still doing, in conjunction with the State, all
in their power to remove every objection that has
heretofore been urged to the place.
The State House has been thoroughly repaired
and renovated. It will be found ample for the
transaction of the public business for many years.
The Executive Blansion, one of the finest build
ings in the Southern country, is now undergoing
repair, and will be, in every way, a fit residence
for the Chief Magistrate. Every part of the State
is immediately interested in the Madison road.
There is not a single interest throughout the land
that will not be promoted by it. It is more than a
convenience—it is a necessity. Unlike the AA 7 ar-
renton road, it will be a road of peace, competing
with no other road, but connecting with two great
lines of the State, the Central and Georgia roads,
to their mutual and great advantage. AVe should
be most happy to see the Directors of the Compa
nies, uniting with the people of Augusta, Bladi-
son, and Atlanta, in aid of the enterprise—aud fur
ther, we think the State should subscribe liberally
to its prompt completion. The State granted to
the Milledgeville Co. its bonds for $‘2 i,00li, toaid
in building from Gordon. The people of Putnam
built without State aid; and it seems tons there
is great propriety now, in the State’s coming up to
the help of the people in this particular. One hun
dred thousand dollars, in State six per cent, bonds

be published in the Federal Union, Thomasvilie

Horn Houses of Lassa, tiif. Capital of
Thiuet.—There is a certain district in the suburbs
where the
of cattle
treiue solidity, and present a rather agreeable ap
pearance to the eye; the horns of the cattle being
smooth and white, and those of the sheep being
black and rough. These strange materials admit
a wonderful diversity of combination, and form on
the walls an infinite variety of designs. The in
terstices between the horns are filled with mortar.
These are the only houses that are not white
washed. The Tbibetiuns have the good taste to
leave them ill their natural state, without endeavor
ing to add to their wild and fantastic beauty. It is
superfluous to remark, that the inhabitants of Las
sa consume a fair share of beef and muttor : their
horn houses are incontestable proof of it.—Cape
Colonist.
AVe sa v, build the Madison road It will prevent
the mischief of the AVarrenton read, which latter,
save for some local interest, seems to us to be little
short of folly. The Charleston and Savannah
road, with the Central road, will present a line of
easy grade, between Blacon and Charleston, of 292
miles. Between Macon and Charleston, by way of
AA 7 ;irrenton and Augusta, the line would be 270
miles long, with grades of over 50 feet to the mile
—with short curves—with a portage at Augusta,
and with tin feet grade at Aiken. The capital em
barked in the upper line would be nine millions of
dollars, whilst that by tlie Savannah line would he
less than six. The Savannah line would be the
best, beyond comparison. AVhore is the need of
the AA’arrenton road, even to the city of Charles
ton ? None: on the contrary, the AVarrenton road
would only be a competitor with the Charleston
and Savannah Road. There is too much good
sense, we are sure, in Carolina and Georgia, to
throw away money on the AA’arrenton line.
BIrs. Murray, an English woman, who visited
the United States in 1848, pays the following tri
bute to the pre-eminence of three distinguished
American ladies. She says:
“I have seen three anuointed Kings and three
inaugurated Presidents. I admire the Presidents
the most. 1 have seen three Queens and three la
dies who have shared the honors of the presidency;
and truly among theQueens not one could compare
with the regal grace of Mrs. Bladisun, the femin
ine, distinguished personnel of Mrs. Polk, and the

DEATH OF AGED CITIZENS.—New A’ork,
May 12.—Chief Justice Oak, of the Supreme
Court, died last night, aged 75 years.
John Turner, formerly publisher of the New
A’ork Gazette, died yesterday, aged 83 years.
Joseph K. Angoll, a well known writer cm legal
subjects, died at Boston on Friday, aged 60 year*
be a very handsome woman. Her hair is very
black, and her dark eyes and complexion give her
a touch of the Spanish dames. These American
ladies are highly cultivated and perfectly accom
plished, aud practised in the most delicate and re
fined usages of distinguished society. BIrs. Polk
is very well read, and has much talent for conver
sation; she is highly popular; her reception of all
parties is that of a kind hostess and accomplished
gentlewoman. She has excellent taste in dress,
and botli in the morning and the evening preserves
the subdued though elegant costume which char
acterizes the lady. She is ready at reply, and pre
serves her position admirably. ’ At a levee, a gen
tleman remarked, ‘Bladam. you have a very gen
teel assemblage to-night.’ ‘Sir,’ replied BIrs. Polk,
with very good humor, but very significantly, ‘I
have never seen it otherwise.’ One lnoruiug I
found her reading. ‘I have many books presented
to me by the authurs,' said she, ‘and I try to read
them all; at present that is impossible; but this
evening the author of this book diues with the
President, and I would not be so unkind as to ap
pear w holly ignorant aud unmindful of his gift.’ ”
In Faris there was an announcement that a
review of 50,(UR) troops would take place on 7th

Bational Insult.
AA’e have fallen on queer times. Since the last
arrival from Europe vve are startled with the intel
ligence that England aud France are all in commo
tion because tlie United States have taken the enor
mous liberty to decline participating in the pending
war with China 1 Lord Palmerston’s organ, the
London Post, says that “this policy” (that of not
going to war with China to gratify England) “is
totally unworthy of a great and enlightened na
tion.” And eveu the London Chronicle, which is
opposed to the ministry, considers it an insult
(that is the word) that we do not “co-operate” with
them. AnJ a very prominent paper in our own
country talks about “the bvggarly expedition of a
timid neutrality in refusing all proffers of an armed
coalition with England and France.” The latter
journal talks about “a vast carver of progress,”
“which underlies the policy of the four great na
tions,” and hopes the administration “will rise
equal to the occasion aud adopt at once a purely
American policy.” Let us have no treaties, (this
is thc idea.) no cntaugliflg alliances in anything;
but, iu this great movement of civilization to the
East, we must take a part, whether we will or not.
Not only is our present trade there immense, but
it will increase (so the argument runs) a thousand
fold. Let us, then, give a hearty co-operation (is
the conclusion) in the opening of it, and take care
to secure to ourselves a full share of its advanta
ges, &c. The same journal calls upon Blr. Buch
anan to “show himself equal to the occasion, and,
laying aside ail petty prejudice, give a hearty co
operation to the civilization of the East, and to the
pacification of Blexico. Central America, and Pa
nama,” A c. Brave words these; and this “civili
zation and pacification” are to be brought about by
WAR, and taking possession of distant regions
through the mere act of the Executive! Some
people seem to regard a war with China and a co
operation with England as matters of course,
though the paper last referred to tells us that Eng
land is seeking to plant her dominion in China.
It condemns “the passive, armed-ncufrality policy
adopted by our cabinet iu reference to the affairs of
China,” and it adds: “We have seen from the
English newspaper press—metropolitan and pro
vincial—that the British government and people
have expected much and have been sorely disap
pointed in tins matter; that from our warlike and
progressive democratic party and power they at
least anticipated something more in regard to Chi
na than the subordinate position and policy of
masterly inactivity.” It then condemns the “posi
tive refusal of our government to participate with
England aud France in the magnificent enterprise
of opening the whole China empire to the free
trade and free social intercourse with thc civilized
world,” Ac. And so wo are to go to war with
China for the magnificent, enterprise of “civiliza
tion,” and that “the government aud people of
England" may not be ‘‘sorely disappointed and
chagrined in this matter” of "planting the English
dominion” in the Celestial empire. The first ques
tion with an honest government Ls, what cause
have we to goto war with China ? Has the coun
try given us any just reason, or have we any just
objects that would warrant an appeal to arms ?
Neither one uor the other, AA’e want honest trade
with China, not conquest. Least of all do we
adopt tlie absurd pretext of carrying our civiliza
tion and religion into China, or anywhere else, by
force of arms. It is impossible but that the Amer
ican people should, on sober reflection, condemn
these propositions to join European powers in their
hostilities against a remote empire with which we
areat peace. AA’hen the Chinese injure us and re
fuse to make reparation, it will be quite time to
assert our own cause in our own way, without be
ing taught what we ought to do by the people or
press of another eonntry. In the mean time, we
make no denunciations of the policy or move
ments of either England or France. If they have
been aggrieved, and seek reparation, they have a
perfect right to do so, and we have no disposition
to gainsay it, or interfere with its assertion. Nay,
we can understand very well how the patience of
every civilized nation may be soreiv tried by the
faults and follies of the Chinese government. AA?e
can sympathize, moreover, with any movement
which looks towards liberalizing the policy of that
vast empire, and opening wide its gates to the life
and civilization of the “outside” world. To ac
complish such results, the United States never
have hesitated, and never will hesitate, to use all
their legitimate influence and jnst co-operation.
But this is not to make war where there is no cause
of war. This is not to turn our arms against an
empire with which we are at peace, merely because
some other power has relations with it of a less
peaceful character. It Ls easy to use big phrases
and magniloquent expressions on the subject; but
they who do so should remember, first, that the
Executive of the United States is not the war
making power; and second, that, although Great v ,„,
Britain is at war with China, the United States are I en.
in no such condition. | May 5th, 1857
Circumstantial Evidence.—In the ease ofthe
young woman found murdered at Newburgh, N.
Y.. supposed at first to b<> Sarah Bloom, areuiarka
ble .-tate of affairs existed, which came near cost
ing William Jenkins, who was last seen with Miss
Bloom; his lite. Bliss Bloom appeared, showing
that the dead body was not hers, f.nd that Jen
kins, was of course, innocent of her murder, for
which he had been arrested. The News says:
“The resemblance was indeed extraordinary.
The body had a scar on the left eyebrow, precise
ly where Sarah had one; the body had a cut on the
main finger of the left hand precisely where Sarah
has one of the same character; the bodv had a small
black mole about half way between the ankle and
the knee, on the shin bone, exactly where Sarah
had one: hut strangest of all, the "body has two
toes on the left toot grown together, precisely like
Sarah s, except that Sarah's are not grown together
so far down on the joint, the toes of both feet of
the body, like Sarah’s were pressed together
from wearing tight shoes, and Sarah wears a
coral ring on just the finger from which on the
cropse a ring had been stripped. These facts
connected with Sarah’s absence, the curious story
of Jenkins as to where he had left her. the incident
of her going in a direction where she did not hear
of the discovery of the body, and was not herself
heard from for four days, combines to make
probably one of the strongest cases of circurn-
staneial evidence against Jenkins that could well
be conceived.”
The Burdell Murder Trial.—The finale of this
trial, we give below, as we fiud it reported in the
New A’ork Sun. The aquittal of BIrs. Cunning
ham, and release of Eckel, on his own personal
recognizance, are not to be wondered at, alter one
reads the argument of counsel pro and con. and the
charge of the Court to the Jury. At the next term
of the Court, it may be presumed the Eckel will
he discharged without the formality of a trial.
Thus will end a case that has excited the public
mind from Blaine to California; and who Burdell,
will remain as much a mystery, as “who it was that
struck Billy Patterson!”
The Jury retired at 7 p. m., to consider their
verdict. At 7£ o’clock they came into Court. The
Court Room was profoundly silent while the forms
were gone through with. Iu answer to the
question of; he clerk, the Jury delivered a verdict of
NOT GUILTY.
The verdict was received with an outburst of
appiause, which was promptly suppres^pd. BIrs.
Cunningham and her daughters fainted, and were
carried into an adjoining room to receive the con
gratulations of their friends.
Judge Davies, then, with thanks, discharged the
Jury from further attendance. The jurors then re
tired.

COOL SPKI.Ab LODGE, F. A. M.. So. 185, t
AVilkinson co., Ga., Blay 9th, 1857. )
The Committee appointed to draft Resolutions
expressive of the feelings of this Lodge upon the
death of our much esteemed Brother, AVm. F. M.
Brown, who departed this life at his residence in
this county on the 7th instant—beg leave to make
the following report:
The uneering shait of death has pierced our cir
cle. and removed from earth to a world of never
ending duration, our much beloved Brother, Wm.
F. BI. Brown, Senior AVardenof our Lodge.
It may truly bo said in this case, that death loves
a shining m irk. By the inscrutable providence of
God. tiiis Lodge has been bereft of a shining light,
and his disconsolate relatives of a friend and
brother.
By his promptness in his despatch of business—
by his integrity and punctuality in his attention to
the duties of his office, he beautifully reflected the
character of that celebrated artist, symbolically re
presented by the pillar of Beauty. But he is gone
—the silver cord has been loosed—the golden bowl
has been broken—the silver pitcher has been bro
ken at the fountain—and the wheel broken at the
cistern.
AVe will strive not to be cast down, and mourn
and lament his loss as those having no hopes, for
we firmly believe that the eliarity which so emi
nently graced his action in life, will be richly re
warded in a brighter and better world.
His remains were buried on the 8th inst., with
usual honors of Ancient Free Masonry.
Therefore lleso/ced, That in his death we recog
nize tin* loss of a Blason good and true: a zealous
and efficient officer of this Lodge—a liberal and
generous friend—and society has lost a valuable
and useful member.
Resolred, That we regret and lament the deep
affliction that lias befallen the brothers and sisters
and relatives of our departed Brother, and we
hereby offer them our heartfelt sympathy and con
dolence for their great and irreparable loss.
Resolved. That the furniture and jewels of this
Lodge be clothed in mourning for the space of
thirty days from thedecease of our much esteemed
Brother, as a testimony of our regard for him
whilst living, and that the Officers and Brethren of
this Lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for
the same space of time, and that a biank pagein
our Record Book be inscribed with Iiis name and
station, and be dedicated to his memory.
Resolred, That the Secretary bo ordered to pre
sent a copy of these resolutions to the family of
our deceased Brother, and forward a copy to the
Southern Recorder and Federal Union each for
publication.
