L)i.y? v/utt h i^kt tv.to a Wild Cal.—A
Janesville cnrreapolident gives to the Chi
cago Tituos .tn account of a desperate light
between John Weber and a ferocious wild
cat Weber and a few other amateur
sportsmen wore hunting for rabbits in the
woods skirting the banks of Rock River.
Webber supposing be had bcri owed arab-
bit on the top of the bluff, about one hun
dred feet above the water, procured a
stick and tiudertook to dislodge the game
by punching. His efforts were too suc
cessful, for instead of a rabbit a fnrmiablc
wild cat spiang out of the hole and ‘pitch
ed in” for a fight. Weber, not knowing
the nature of his antagonist, was taken at
disadvantage. He had a knife, and the
varmint's teeth and claws were sharp.—
“Mein Gott! du pecst der fader von all rab
bit” he exclaimed as the cat made a leap
at his throat.
The bank was very steep, and at the
first onset Weber lost his footiug* and hun
ter and wild cat rolied in a rough and
tumble fight, and the cat was most, at
home in that sort of a contest. The hun
ter gave the varmint a few well put “eye-
openers,” hut his catship soon put a stop
to that game by seizing Weber’s hand
with his teeth and holding it fast. With
the other hand he then tried to throttle the
monster, hut soon found his claws were in
the way. After rolling down the hank a
distance of ninety fi-ct from where the
fight commenced, the hunter succeeded in
getting uppermost of his antagonist, when
lie hastily halloed “murder!” This brought
one of his companions to the rescue, who
crawling down the steep hank, placed his
rifle to the varmint’s head, and made a hole
through it. The wild-cat then gave up
beat.
It was found Weber had been bit through
the bands five times, besides numerous se
vere scratches upon his hod}-. The woun
ded parts immediately commenced swell
ing in an alarming manner, anil he was
visited by dizziness and faintness to such
a degree that his companions were obliged
to carry him home, and provide, medical
assistance. He was found to be severely
hut not dangerously wounded. The wild
cat was one of the ordinary northern spe
cies, and weighed twenty pounds.
Activity.—Activity is one of the ever
lasting laws ofexister.ee. There is no re
ligion without work. Laziness is spitual
death. Who ever acquired anything worth
having by lying still and waiting for it to
come? All things are within the reach of
man, if he will only go after them; all
things will mock him who lingers by tl.e
way. Who gains money, but the man
who toils with his bauds or his brain?—
Who finds knowledge save by the striving
of the understanding? Who knows any
thing of beauty in nature hut he who
spurns the morning couch and is on the
hill top while his neighbors are asleep;
can defy the snow and the rain, and
strain up the mountains summit and en
dure the noonday heats? And through
what watching and lone wrestling with
languor and discouragement the artist
leads out human loveliness from the rough
marble, and coaxes beauty upon the can
vass! And does not every good man go
up to his virtue as Jesus went; I’ke him
resist Satan in the desert, sweat drops of'
blood in Gethsemane and bear his cross up
Calvary? Activity is the law of life.—
Let us be up and doing. Time waits for
no man; all things go on; go on with all
things, or you will fall out of your rank in
the procession of existence, and never find
your place again unless by toils that will
wring your soul with anguish. Listen to
the voice of the sea for it is the voice of

Conversion of an Actress—Her Experi
ence.—The Boston Bee says that Miss
Lucy Hamilton, an English actress, per
forming on ti e Boston boards, has been con
verted, and lately treated a prayer meet
ing to a touch of “experience” as follows:
“She was going home from the theatre
one night with her sister, also an actress,
and while passing a church was attracted
by hearing some one, exhorting in aloud
voice. After a while she went in; her
sister would not. The next night not be
ing cast in a play, she visited the church
instead of the theatre. Her heart was
moved. She became convicted that she
was a great sinner; that the theatre was a
had place; that it was her duty to abandon
tlie stage, This thought haunted her
ceaselessly. She continued to play for a
while, but her heart was not in her voca
tion.
At length her mind became so much dis
turbed that she left the theatre and ‘sought
peace in Christ.’’ She destroyed her s'age
wardrobe and eschewed Shakspear and
Boureicault. Her friends endeavered to
convince her that she was foolish, and all
that, but to no effect. She persevered and
finally found peace. Since then she has
been o “a happy woman;” and advises
everybody to follow her example. Du
ring her remarks she took occasion to ex
press an opinion that a theatre was an
exceedingly bad place—in fact, no other
than “the gateway to hell.”. She knew
whereof she spoke, and feelingly warned
her heareas not to attend them. The in
fluence of the theatre, she felt sure was
baneful to the morals and piety of a peo
ple, and none could attend the and have
the other. She closed testifying to the
satisfaction and peace there is in a*religious
life.
Ortlai-s Second Letter to the Emperor Yapo-
leon.
The correspondent of the Daily News at Turin
transmits a copy of Orsini’s will and his second
letter to the Emperor Napoleon. They have ap
peared in (he official gazette of Piedmont. The
l>adv News’ correspondent is of opinion that they
have' been supplied by the French Government.
The letter is as follows :
“To His Majesty Napoleon III. Emperor of
the French.”
-Sir.—Your Imperial Majesty having permitted
that niv letter written to you on the JJth of Feb
ruary 'should be produced for public comment,
whilst it is clear proof of your generosity, shows
me also that the prayers which 1 have offered on
behalf of my country find a response in your ow n
heart: and to me, however near I be ro death, it
is certainly no small consolation to see how your
Imperial Majesty is moved by genuine Italian
feelings. In a few hours I shall cease to be ; and
so, before drawing my last vital breath, I wish it
to be known, and I declare it with the frankness
and courage, which up lo this day I have never
believed, that assassination,in whatever garb il may
be disguised, does not exist among my principles;
although, by a tatal error of mind, I have allowed
myself to be led on to organise the attempt of the
,14th January.
No ; political assassination was not my system,
•and | combatted it at the risk of my own life,
.both in »y writings and by my public nets, when
n govern went mission placed me in a situation to
.doso; and toy compatriots, far from putting faith
jn itbe system nf assassination, let them reject it
altogether, and hold it aloof; and let them know,
even by the voice of a dying patriot, that their
redemption,ipusl he won by their own self-denial,
by consent unity in their efforts, and sacrifices :
and by the erxereise of true vir*ue—gifts which
are now buddiug iu .the young and active portion
of my fellow countrymen., and gifts which alone
will be able to make Italy (free, independent, and
worthy of the glory wijth whiqh our ancestors have
made her illustrious. I -die; Mid. whilst I do so
•with calmness and dignity, I wish tunt my mera-
nry may not be left stained with,gxty crime. As
for the victims of the I4thof January. 1 offer my
awn bUi-id as an atonement, and I beg the Italians,
when some day they are made independent, to
give a worthy compensation to ail those .wito ii6>v«c
suffered any injury from it. Let your Imperial
Majesty perjpfi! me. in the last place, to beg you
to spare the life, not of myself, but of the two
accomplices who were condemned to death with
me.

Fourth Dav.—The Committee on the
Board of Foreign M issions reported that
the receipts lor the past year had been
$212;946, and the payments $191.520.—
Special contributions for losses in India

among the Oinahas, the Ottocs, lowas,
Sacks and Kickapoos, of Kansas and Ne
braska, and among four of the principal

There are fifteen missionary laborers in
Liberia, and eight in Corisco. The ex
penditures on account of those missions,
had been $10,608. There were sixteen
stations in India, ten in I.odioim and six in
the Furrukliabad Missions. There had
been expended on account of these $50,-

Presbyterian Church, which approves the
said return to the old version of the Scrip
tures, and desires to co-operate with the
Society in the puhlicatication and circula
tion of the same.
The resolution was adopted.
Fifth Day.—The report of the Board of
Education was presented by Dr. Van
Rennssler. The new candidates during
ays tried to shoot down the bird and
not to shoot oft’ the leathers. So minis
ters has enough to do to preach Christ anil
him crucified.
Other remarks were made, when, on the
call for the previous question by E. Wads
worth, the subject was indefintely post
poned.
Bishop Soule, with reference to the
foregoing said: It is made the duty of
tiie preachers to read the General Rules
(with reference to superfluous ornaments)
once a quarter in everj’society, and once
a year in every congregation. IIa3 this
been done? and may it not be that the
the past year 103. The roll of the Board, neglect on the part of the preachers on
385—two more than there were the pro
ceeding year. $47,103 were received by
tlie Candidates Fund—total receipts, $48,-
473; expenditures, $53,124. The re
ceipts by the Board of Ministerial Eduea-
tliis important point in the instructions,
may have contributed in some degree to
the increase of superfluity of ornament in
the Church? If this liad been carried out
faithfully by the preachers’ I think there
11ion amounted lo $56,492; expenditures, would have been an improved condition of
548,980. There are 100 parochial schools,! things in respect to this matter. The
60 academics, besides the Ashman Insti
tute, which educates young men for Afri
ca, and 24 colleges.
The report of the Committee on the
Board of Education was then presented,
with the following resolutions;
Resolved, That tlie Assembly record,
with profound gratitude to God, the at
tendant token of the Divine blessing
which has attended the efforts of the
Board of Education to introduce young
men into the ministry, and to aid in tbe re
ligious instruction of our children and
youth, as seen in the unfaltering attach
ment of our churches to the cause, mani
fested even during a period of commercial! In the first case the jury disagreed, be-
disaster—in the number who have already j cause the testimony of the witnesses was

I think very differently. At least, sir,
fifty hears ago it did good. The Metho

They came out from the world, sir—they
were separated from the world.
The Totonshend Trials.—The telegraph

fluences of the spirit of God which have
been poured out upon many of tlie colleges
and schools under the care of this assem
bly, or connected with Synods or Presby
teries of our Church.
Resolved, That the field which now lies
before our beloved Church, demanding as
it does a vast increase of Ministers of the
AVord, calls for earnest prayer to the Lord
of the Harvest, that lie would send forth
laborers, and that the assembly, while
they trust the cause, will be daily remem
bered by the people of God, recommend
the last Thursday of February as a day
of special and united prayer, for the out
pouring of the spirit upon our colleges
and semenaries of learning.
Resol red, That the present gratifying con
dition of the treasury of the Board encour
age this assembly to believe that the
churches are impressed with a sense of the
duty of providing for a liberal support and
maintenance of indigent young men de
sirous of entering the Gospel ministry, and
authorises a renewed invitation to such of
fice. with the confident assurance of being
sustained by the churches through this
Board,
Resolved, That in view of the great
work which Christ lias laid upon his
church, to preach the Gospel to every
creature, it he earnestly enjoined on pas
tors to set before youth of piety and prom
ise the question ol their responsibilities in
this matter, and to endeavor so to direct
and assist them as that there shall he an
increase of condidates for the Gospel min

growing demand of the church and the
world.

Exports of Cotton—Crop Prospects.—
New Orleans, May 11.—The exports of
cotton from this port to Great Britain, dur
ing the past week, reached 24,600 bales,
and to Havre 5,500 hales. From Mobile;
the exports during the week to Great
Britain were only lOi-O hales.
The estimates for the present crop are
running fully up to three million bales
again, in consequence of the receipts con
tinuing larger than hail been anticipated.
They are now within a few hundred bales
as large as at the same period last year,
and next week it is believed an increase
will he shown.
As far as reliable advices have been re
ceived, the growing crop is not considered
to have been materially injured by the
recent reverses that have been reported.
What Makes a Bushel.—Tbe following
table of the number of various articles to
a bushel, may be of interest to our read
ers: AVbeat, sixty pounds; corn, shelled,
fifty-six pounds, corn on the cob, seventy
pounds. oat6, thirty-six pounds; rye, fifty
six wounds: buck-wheat, fifty two pounds;
Irifih potatoes, sixty pounds, sweet pota
toes, fifty pounds; onions, fifty-seven
pounds; bran, twenty pounds; clover seed,
sixty pounds; timothy seed, forty-five
pounds, blue grass seed, fourteen pounds;
beans, sixty pounds; dried peaches, thirty-
three pounds.
ed the most remarkable one on record.—
The Montreal Herald, in reviewing the
case, remarks.
Townshend was a person who had been
long in ilie country, and was perfectly well
known to hundreds of persons, who must
have seen him daily for long periods of
time. Ilis residence, too, among these as
sociates, was not at a distant date, be
tween which and the present lie might
have been subject to those changes which
come from the growth of years. From
the murder to tlie trial, last year, no more
than some three years had elapsed. In
many eases of criminal prosecution, there
are reasons which satisfactorily account
tor contradictions. There are biases of
party or prejudices of some kind or other,
which sway ignorant witnesses, and pre
vent the tribunals from getting at the
truth.
This cause if it operates, at all in the
present case, seems to he likely to exert
only a minimum effect. It is true iliattlie
mother and sister of Townshend have been
examined in favor of the prisoner. But
the great mass of the witnesses on his side
are open to no apparent objection of par
tiality in his favor more than those who
have deposed against him are liable to
any reasonable suspicion of hatred. Under
these circumstances it may well not only
excite our special wonder, but shake our
faith in all human testimony, when we see
witness after witness coming into the box
to declare positively that the man before
them is Townshend, the murderer of
Nelles, only to he followed by as many anil
apparently as unimpeachable witnesses,
who declare just as positively that he is
not Townshend.
Still more extraordinary is the circum
stantiality with which the different class
es of witnesses corroborate their opinion.
For the Crown they say that they recog
nize the prisoner by a scar or scars on his
face. For the defense they assert that
Townshend had large lumps upon the tops
of his toes, which showed through his hoots
and that the prisoner lias no such protu
berances. The Crown officers appear to
have calculated on sustaining tlieir case
by two witnesses, father and son, brought
from Chicago; hut these two persons failed
to identify the prisoner. Upon the whole
the balance of respectability in station
seems to he with the mass of witnesses for
the Crown, hut as far as we can judge from
the printed reports, there are men of good
standing to he utterly denying that the
accused is the man they knew as Towns
hend in 1854.
The moral conviction is chiefly against
the prisoner, from the fact of his failing to
explain his past life, which would at once
clear up the difficulty, and also from the
fact that lie has, in conversation with per
sons who went to visit him, spoken of par
ticular circumstances and conversation
known to those witnesses in which Towns
hend took part.
Tbe Bankrupt Bill.
The provisions of this bill, offered in the
United States Senate a few days ago by
Mr. Benjamin, of Lousiaua, are represen
ted to be substantially as follows.
It is a general bill, including individu
als, corporations, chartered hanks, and
any association of persons authorized to
issue notes, hills, &c. It will provide for
voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy,
and will be retroactive. The retroactive
feature will be guarded so as to exclude all
who, subsequent to January last or any
other time, have made assignments, in con
templation of a passage of a bankrupt law,
which gave preferrence to one creditor
over another, and the bankrupt in such
cases shall not receive a discharge unless
with the consent of a majority of his cred
itor who have not been so preferred. The
involuntary bankruptcy applies to cases
whore debts exceed $2000, and the person
declared bankrupt is entitled to a trial by
jury—all transfers of property of any kind
for the purpose of giving any creditor, en
dorser or other person any preference or
priority over general creditors, to be null
and void, and the parties obtaining them
to be sued for such amount as assets of the
bankruptcy.
With regard to the hanks anil other
issues of paper money, they are to come
under the head of involuntary bankrupts;
and in addition to all liabilities which at
tach to individuals, they may be declared
bankrupt for the non-payment, for ten days
after demand of any hill, noteor other La
bility; all the expenses of proceedings to
he paid by the parties interested, and un
der no pretence to be paid by the United
States.
Truth Stranger than Fiction— 1 Remarkable
Case.
If anybody has any doubt that “truth isstranger
than fiction,” or that “murder will out,” let him or
her read the shocking narrative we copy from a
Chicago paper, relating the history of the bar
reled (female) corpse which was brought to this
city some weeks since, without fiudiug an owner
ora consignee.—.V. F. Pupcr.
If a murder lias been committed (and
the circumstantial evidence substantiating
that theory, and weakening the hypothesis
of suicide, it must he confessed, is strong,
very strong,) we see here how the most in
genious and careful contrivances of wicked
men, to cover up and conceal their
crimes, fail in tlieir intent. Think of it.
An unfortunate woman is murdered by her
paramour, apparently for no other cause
than her insisting that lie should marry
her. Tlie clothing is taken off the corpse
and burnt; tlie body is then cut up and
put into a barrel, which barrel, thereupon
is sent upon a railroad journey of nearly a
thousand miles, directed hap-hazard to a
certain house in Leonard streei New York.
The carman finds there is no house in the
street corresponding with the No., on the
barrel. Then suspicion is excited—the
barrel is broken open, aiul all the ghastly
proofs of some shocking tragedy are visible.
The police thereupon address themselves
to the task of clearing up the mystery—
but the only clue to its origin was its rail
road truck: That track was closely fol
lowed, from this city to Albany, then from
Albany along the Central Railroad to Buf
falo, thence to the Suspension Bridge, and
across the Bridge into Canada, to Windsor.
Here the barrel was found to have crossed
over from Detroit, and an investigation at
Detroit gave color to the conjecture that
Ohicigo must have been the starting place
of the horrid freight. That conjecture
w’as right. Following up the slender thread
beginning almost a thousand miles away,
in New York city, the officers of the law
at length got to the end of it; and discov
ered the object of their search in the per
son ofa Prussian barber; named Jiunpertz,
whose story, and the story of the tragedy
speak for themselves. AY'e have seldom
read any ihing in the annals of crime more
thrilling, or shocking.—N. Y. Express.
For the benefit of those of our readers
w'ho may have forgotten the facts in the
above case, we will here state them briefly.
In March last the public—not only of New
York, hut this whole section of country as
well—were horrified by tlie report of the
discovery in New Y ork of a woman’s body
cut inp ieces and packed in a barrel. The
discovery was made at the Hudson River
Kailroad Depot. The mutilated corpse was
the body of Sophie Werner, a German wo
man, who was murdered or possibly com
mitted suicide in Chicago. Sophie was the
wife of a barber, Frederick AVerner. Her
husband deserted her, running oil’with an
other woman, about a year ago. Shortly
after slie became acquainted with a jour
neyman barber named lienry Jumpetz,
who formerly worked in Spring street, N.
Y. They lived together as mau and wife,
and she loved him devotedly; but lie got
tired of her, and tried to get away. They
went to Milwaukee; lie came hack to Chi
cago, and she followed him. A few days
after her arrival, as he asserts, lie found her
hanging by the neck in their room. He
cut her flesh to see if she was dead: and
upon ascertaining that she was so, he be
came much perplexed to dispose of the
body. Some portions lie cut away and
buried on the j rarie beyond the city, and
finally, with a dull knife and saw, hacked
her to pieces, stowed her in a barrel, and
got the barrel shipped to New York. The
story is one of unmittigated depravity,
and more horrible in its details than that
of the murder of Adams, to which the
leading circumstances hear a close resem
blance.
Therapeutics. 1. Experiments, with Bih-
ron’s Antidote to the poison of the Rattle
snake, 4 r -> by IVm. A. Hammond, M. D.,
Assistant Surgeon U. S. Army.—Some 4
years since, Prince Paul, of AYurtemburg,
the celebrated naturalist, communicated to
my friend, Mr. DeVesev, tiie results of
some experiments performed before the
French Academy of Sciences by Profes
sor Bibron, relative to an antidote to the
poison of the rattlesnake. According to
Prince Paul, Professor Bibron allowed a
rattlesnake to bite liim in the lips, cheeks,
&c., and, by taking tbe antidote discover
ed by him, prevented all alarming symp
toms, and, in fact, suffered no inconveni
ence therefrom.
The antidote in question, as stated by
Prince l’asul, is prepared according to the
following recipe: B.—Potassii iuilidi gr.
iv; hydrarg. chloridi corros. gr. ij; bromini
3v.—M. Ten drops of this mixture, dilut
ed with a tablespoonful or two of wine or
brand}', constitute a dose, to he repeated
if necessary. It must be kept in glass-
stoppered vials, well secured.
—
A Eight with Grasshoppers.—The Gon
zales (Tex.) Inquirer has an amusing ac
count of the invasion of that city by grass
hoppers, and the attempt of the citizens to
rebel the intruders;
“Everybody turned out—men, women
and children, white and black—everybody
with ‘fire and sword,’ brushes and brooms
blankets and buckets, carried on the dead
ly conflict, hut to no avail; the hoppers
hopped on, and the defending forces were
obliged to heat an inglorious retreat, leav
ing the barbarians in possession of the
conquered city.”
• —
Electricity as an Anastlictic Agent.—AA'e
witnessed, yesterday, at the office of Dr.
Clarke, on Congress street, the application
of electricity in that most painful of opera
tions, tooth pulling. We regard it as a
complete success. A colored woman, of a
delicate and nervous appearance, took the
chair when three of her teeth were drawn
in quick succession, witnout her giving the
slightest evidence of pain; indeed she as
sured us that she felt none, the only sensa
tion produced being the ordinary shock
from the battery. The mode of applica
tion is most simple; the patient takes one
wire in her hand and the opposite pole is
simply wound around the handle of the for
ceps, and around this latter a non-conduc
tor, such as a silken cloth, so as to prevent
contact with the hand in grasping the in

American Traci Society.
The New l'ork papers are filled with
acc-'unts of the proceedings of the annual
meeting of the Tract Society, which met
in that city on A\ r ednesday, in the Reform- w
ed Dutch Church, Layfayctte I’laceL-et^ri
About two thousaud persous. from various
sections of the Uniou, were admitted by
ticket, showing great interest taken iu tho
question at issue—whether or not the exe
cutive committee w’ere justified in suppres
sing or suspending the publication of the
tract “The Duties of Masters” alleged to
have been offensive to the people of the
South, especially slaveholders. The
publication of this tract was commenced
under a resolution adopted at the last
annual meeting looking to tlie discussion
of the moral aspect of slavery. Soon after
the opening of the meeting—over which
Chief Justice AVilliams, of Conn.,, presi
ded—Kev. Dr. Adams made a report
justifying the executive committee.
Tlie Rev. Dr. Magee made a few’ re
marks. Two truths were plain to the
commitee, anil these considerations had
governed them. Had they published the
tract to which reference had been made,
they w'ould have dismembered the society.
That w'as one conclusion at which they
had arrived, and the evidence upon which
it w’as based was not, and could not he,
so well appreciated by those who had not
their opportunity of judging it. They did
fully believe it. Another was that a
large majority of tlie friends of the society
were not prepared to adopt a course w Inch
should thus result. A further and equally
plain consideration was that it was useless
to publish a tract addressed to masters
which would have but a small circulation in
the South amongthose to whom it was ad
dressed, and which in the North was not
needed. They had decided not to mix the
American Tract Society w ith the great
exciting question. This was their simple
decision.
The matter was now before them, and
in judging it he hoped they had so sought
the grace of God, and would act under his
guidance. Great interests were at stake.—
Should they adopt a course which would
separate them from fifteen States and ten
millions of people, a field where thei la
bors were most called for/ Such were
the views of the committee. [Hisses and ap
plause.]
The president hoped there would be no
demonstration of approval or dissent, as
this w as not a political meeting.
Bishop Mcllvaine moved that the action
of committee be sustained, and made a long
speech.
I’rof. Crosby read from a tract, entitled
“Sambo and i’ouy,” in which slaves are
counseled not to go from plantation to
plantation, and obey tlieir master, and
asked if the society published it.
Amid much confusion and cries of “or
der!” Dr. AY'm. Adams said the tract was
published twenty years ago.
Dr. Tyng attempted to get the floor,
amid cries of “order!” “l)r. Tyng!” “Let
’em answer the question!” &c.
Order being restored, Dr. Tyng spoke
in favor of the resolution of the society
admitted the discussion of the moral as
pects ofslavery to be a legitimate subject
for the society to discuss, and moved to
lay Bishop Mcllvaine’s motion on the ta
ble, in order that a resolution re-affirming
that position he affirmed.
Dr. Tyng’s motion w’as voted upon viva
voce and the chairman said it was lost.—
A division was called for, and tlie affirma
tive was counted; hut when the negative
arose it so largely preponderated that a
count was deemed unnecessary.
Much excitement prevailed. Some
called fora count: others declared that the
motion was lost ten to one, and the mem
bers of the committee displayed many
symptoms of delight.
There was a long delay and groat con
fusion. A partial count w r as made; hut
order w r as finally so far restored that
Judge Jessup attempted to move an amend
ment to Bishop Mcllvaine’s motion, hut
was interrupted by loud calls for the pre
vious question in all parts of the house,
and another scene of tumult followed.—
Several of the majority declared that it
was not fair to choke off discussion.
Judge Jussup read his amendment, rea
ffirming the resolution of last year, which
was declared to be unanimous.
Dr. Betluinc protested that it was not
unanimous. lie was requested to say for
Dr. Spring that he did not vote for it, and
he (Bethune) did not.
Dr. Thompson—Did either of yon vote
ainst it?
Betluinc—No- [Laughter.]
Thompson—Then there was no vote
against and it was unanimous.
Dr. Bethune said that, at the meeting
last year, he was asked by Dr. Thompson
to second the resolution, hut refused to do
it. lie thought that anything coming from
the chief editor of the Independent was
to he regarded with suspicion, and not
likely to meet his approval.
Laughter, hisses, cries of “Order!” and
general confusion followed. J uilge Jessup
at last got tlie floor; and said it was vain
for gentlemen to say that the action of the
ociety last year was not unanimous.—
Tlie fact that one, two or fifty might not
have concurred did not change the fact that
there was no dissenting voice, anil that
the resolution meant hut as the unanimous
sentiment of this society. He went on to
uc the reasonahlness of that resolution,
and deprecate the idea of receding from
it, as a measure which would open the
flood-gates of agitation, and disturb again
the peace of the society.
Dr. Bethune got tlie floor at the close
of Judge Jessup’s remarks. A scene of con
fusion followed, and there were, for several
miuuti‘6, mingled cries of “Bethune” Ques
tion,’ and “Order.”
Rev. Dr. Bacon then got tlie floor and
made a warm anti-slavery speech, and was
followed by the Rev. Dr. Bethune, on the
opposite side, in a powerful and effecting
speech. He deprecated the idea of no
fellowship with slaveholders; for that was
excommunicating them from the Church
of God, and thus the unhappy South were
prevented from having the gospel. He
thought the devil never instituted a
scheme so truly malignant as this to pre
vent the spread of the gospel. The
worst canniblcs in Africa, the natives of
Congo, all would have the gospel preached
to them, hut flic extreme men of the
North would first deny them the gospel
ami then deny them the tract. Wliat,
then, was to become of these millions? were
they to be permitted to go down to hell
beeause these extreme people willed it?—
God forbid.
Rev. Mr. Thompson (editor of Iudcpen-
dent)offered an amendment accepting the
statement of the publishing committee, hut
ordering a tract to be published on tbe
duties of masters. AfterDr. Thompson's
speech the society agreed to take a vote
at 3 pm. Five minute speeches oocupied
the hour from 2 till 3.
Prof. Howard Crosby offered a resolu
tion that “no tract bearing on the slavery
question he published, and that the tract
called Sambo and Tony he suppressed.
Rev. Mr. Denison, of S. C., said it was
impossible in five minutes to speak on
what others had spoken of for hours. The
South, he 6aid, is not represented in this
society; it is not on its committees, is not
represented in the caucuses which cut and
dry things before hand. Should Bishop
Mcllvaine’s motion pass without amend
ment, he helived the South would be sat
isfied. They do not wish the North to
interfere with an institution of their own.—
They will do the thing themselves. 'He
had preached on the duties of masters and
servants the last Sabbath he was at home,
anu it was acceptable, he believed, to all.
The action of the committee of fifteen had
well nigh destroyed the confidence of
Southern men in the society. The dona
tions of Georgia and South Carolina for
the last year had fallen oft' from five or six
thousand dollars to a very small sum; and
if the course of the executive committee
the last year should not be approved by
the society, the nexf year they will be
come nothing- He believed “the rejec
ted tract” would have been regarded as
an incendiary publication, and could not
have been safely taken to the South. The
tract on the “Duties of Masters” would
not have been objected to in itself, hut it
would not have been received with favor
coming with a Northern imprint. They
would publish and circulate it at the
South themselves.
Rev. l)r. Johns, of Baltimore, then
spoke five minutes, saying that he should
1’eturu home, assuring his friends that the
hearts of members of the society at the
North, beat iu unison with theirs at the
South. He and the Maryland delegation
came here not to discuss the slavery ques
tion, hut to vote for sustaining the action
of the committee. He thought the North
could best understand and correct evils
at the North. The South could not in
telligently do it, and just so it is impossible
for the North to interfere with the evils
relating peculiarly to the South. Dr.
Johns fun her stated that he had come to
the meeting to pay a legacy of 810,000
from a slaveholder.
Rev. Air. \A T iIliams, of Baltimore, had
the concluding five minutes. He would
sland by the constitution of the society.—
If that is infringed, the South will with
draw entirely, leaving it to he tlie Northern
and not the American Tract Society. He
contended for the right of the South to take
care of its own children without interfer-
AVhen tlie hour for taking the question
arrived, tho amendment of Prof. Howard
Crosby was first almost unanimously re
jected.
The amendment of Rev. Dr. Thompson
(Independent) was lost by a large major
ity-
The resolution of Bishop Mcllvaine was
carried as follows by a large majority:—
Resolved, That the action of the execu
tive committee he approved.

B. Ross, defendant iu error—attachment from
Futnani county.—A motion was made in the Court
below to dismiss an attachment which had been
levied by a summons of garnishment on certain
stock iu the Eatonton branch railroad. The 8upe
riur Court refused to dismiss the attachment. The
Court reversed the decision of the Court below,

ject of garnislim. nt under the act of 1856. Davis
and Lawson for plaintiff in error; Hudson for de
fendant in error.
The State, upon the refn., &c., plaintiff in er
ror vs. Lavinia, (a woman of color,) defendant in

iu error, vs: Wilkes, (a siave,) defendant iu error—
Warrant from Baldwin county. These two cases
wi re consolidated, and heard together. In the
first case, a warrant was issued against Lavinia,
a woman of color, for being without a master, and
enjoying the profits of her labor, and not having
her name registered according to law. In the sec
ond case, Wilkes was charged with returning from
tiie State of New York, a non-slavehoiding State,
to the State of Georgia. The Justices of the In
ferior Court dismissed the warrants iu liolli ensefc,
and ou tlie cases being carried to the Superior
Court, that Court refused to interfere, on the
ground, “that the proceedings being of a criminal
nature, and the defendants having been acquitted
by the Inferior Court, tlie Superior Court had uo
constitutional power to order a re hearing; and
this decision was affirmed by the Supreme Court.
McKinley fur plaintiffs in error, Kenan and Har

convicted of the same murder, was admitted as a
witness by the Court; prisoner objecting to tiie
validity of his testimony. The plaintiff in error
exeepted to tlie decision of the Court below, on
the gruuud that a slave could not he guilty of the
crime of murder as accessory before the fact, and
also on the ground that the testimony of the con
victed slave was not admissible. 1 lie Court af
firmed the judgment of the Court below.
James A. Wade, ex’r., Sec., plaintiff in error,
vs: David S. Johnson, defendant iu error—Claim,
from Morgan comity. The Court reversed the de
cision of the Court below, holding that the maehine-
ry, engine, dec., of the Madison steam mill were per
sonal property, and not fixtures, and therefore, that
the judgment of a foreclosure of the mortgage and
the execution under which they were levied on
were valid, the Justices of the Inferior Court
having jurisdiction of the same. Cone for plain
tiff in error; Jenkins and Cummings for the do-
feudaut in error.

of Sliarburgher, who, with his family, has been
until recently living in what is knowu as the
“Rag-Picker’s Retreat,” No. 330, East Thirteenth
street, has disgusted his fellow-tradesmen and
drawn upon himself considerable persecution by
indulging in dead eats and rats for food. These
he gathered from the streets, to the number of five
or six daily: us he fouud them in the practice of his
vocation. Upon his arrival home he skinned
them; served up their flesh for food, in the shape of
fricasees, stews and roasts, according to his fancy.
The fur of the cats he laid aside for milking pil

wore hung up around the room to dry, preparatory
to being sold to dealers in such articles.
