By refering to Mr. Branham's advertisement, to
be found in our columns to-day,it will be seen that
he desires to make a change m his present busi
ness. Mr. Branham has met with a. liberal share
of patronage, and bis situation taken by an equal
ly competent Teacher, will doubtless receive the
same merited patronage—consequently, he offers
one of the best openings for a Teacher that can be
found in this section of the State.

We see from our exchanges that Col. Richard
11 Clark, of Dougherty, is.-poken of for Judge at
the approaching January election. While we
would not say on- word that would in the least
disparage the claims or fitness of any othc; gen
tlemen of the District in that connection, we can
not refrain from expressing cur opinion of the am
ple qualifications in every way, of Col. Clark to
discharge the duties of that office. As an earnest of
the manner in which we may expect him to fill
ttie place if elected, we have only to recur to his
official conduct in the different public stations to
welch lie has been heretofore called. His political
record and antecedents will suffer nothing in com
parison with those of any man of his age in Geor
gia.
In 1849-50, he represented the counties of Ba-
h r and Early in the Senate of our State Legis-
ture, and there ably and fearlessly advocated,
shoulder to shoulder with our present popular
Governor, the cause of Democracy and the people.
We next see him with Gov. Brown in 1852, on the
electoral ticket for President and Vice President,
and again Senator from Baker in the legislature
of 1853-4. How he acquitted himself in those po
sitions, with what eloquence and zeal, is well
known to the people. In 1851, he was in con
junction with the lamented Walter T. Colquitt, se
lected by Gov. Johnson to represent the State be
fore the commissioners to settle the claims
of the creditors, of the old Darien Bank,
and, as an evidence of his profound legal abilities
slid forensic skill, the G rvernor in his message to
Die legislature of I855-G alluded to his eminent
services rendered the State, in the following flat
tering ter ms:
“The Hon. Walter T. Colquitt and Richard H.
Clark Esq., were appointed as attorneys to repre
sent tlie State before the Commissioners. Early
however, in the progress of the investigations, the
former denarted this life, whereby the labor and
responsibility were devolved upon the latter. It
is but :-. tribute of justice to bear testimony to the
signal ability an J success, with which he perform
ed the duty assigned him. By his diligence, in
dustry and legal research, he doubtless saved the
State many thousand dollars.
The Atlantic Cable.
The first of September hits been the period fixed
for the regular commencement of transmitting des
patches, other than government messages. It is
said that it will take until that time to put the line
of wires between Valencia- Bay on the coast of
Ireland to Dublin in good order. When this line
of information is complete and in full operation, it
will have a tendency to bring our cotton market to
a more uniform rate, and not allow so large a space
for speculators: this will work to the advantage
ot both buyer and sellar.
Between the terminus of the submarine tele
graph atTunity Bay and the United States, tlwre
is a line of wires of over a thousand miles, of which
nearly one half is in a complete wilderness: this
will offer a field of operations for the speculators,
they could with ease break up the communication.
The Philadelphia Ledger says: “the business of
the two continents is depending upon the certain
ty of prompt transmission of despatches, these in
terruptions wil’ impair the usefulness of the ocean
telegraph. This makes it essential that a cable
shall be laid directly to the territories of the Uni
ted States, which would avoid all these interrup
tions for the telegraph lines in the United States
can be reached with facility by railroad, and any
difficulty in the working he immediately n moved.
The public attention now, however, is turned to
th - subject ox the power to send despatches through
the submarine cabh-: upon this depends its utility
as an instrument of intelligence.”
Over don't thrd their bot-snt.
A correspondent in the National American, over
the signature of “Porcupine,” says that d>-er do
not sle d their horns, and the idea that they do is
a delusion. It is generally thought by persons who
are familiar with the habits of the deer, that they
do shed their horns annually. We heard a gentle
man r-mark, after reading the communication,
that the writer must have meant goats not deer, for
he was certain of the fact that male deer did shed
their horns annually, and that they regularly in
creased in size every new set. That lie had seen
the deer when the large horns became sore at the
head, and were loose and in a short time dropped
off. and that the deer always become very poor at
the time of shedding.
.1 Car Fall of Crazy People.—The Springfield
(Mass) Republican says that a train of cars passed
through that place on Tuesday last with fifty-four
lunatics on board. They were the patients at the

folks in western Massachusetts.

Yellow Fncr in Cuba.—A correspondent of the
New York Times, writing from Matanzss, says
that the yellow fever is very severe in all parts of
the island of Cuba the present season. In thirty

ness is particularly rife, the Americiiu shipping
suffering severely. Since June 14, five American
captains have died theie, besides a considerable
number of mates and seamen,

Albany. Nev York, August 19th, 1858.
Out Inst e-.t: u uni-.-.aluin, I believe, v-r-.s from
IlosU u. .-ini then, we have travelled ta, and
seen much of New England city and country lilt*.
Our route trotn Boston to New York was by
the way of Providt nee, Hartfoid aud New Haven,
and by the New i I.- . .-it arid New York Rail Road
to New \ ork. The country between Boston and
Pro\ idence is not very interesting. The Rail
lvoad passes through many manufacturing towns;
all ot them look very neat and pleasant, and in
good times they are said to be full of life and ac
tivity, but the hard times are peculiarly hard
upon the manufacturing districts. Many of the
factories and mills have stopped work entirely or
in part. This has been very hard upen that por
tion ot the inhabitants connected with the man-
ufaetroies. But most of the New England people
very easily and suddenly accommodate themselves
to almost every change in their business or circutn-
stances, and very rarely get discouraged. They
believe better times are coming; and until these
better times come, they turn their hands to some
thing else. This untiring industry and persever
ance, together with economy, is the true secret of
New England thrift, and they will produce thrift
wherever they are practiced. The country be
tween Providence and Hartford is very interesting
to the traveller. The Rail Road between these
two cities passes over a region of hills and valleys
interspersed with small rivers and beautiful manu
facturing towns. Sometimes the Kail Road will
wind along on the side of a hill, whilst below lies
spread out a beautiful valley dotted over w ith
towns aud villages, with tall steeple churches,
large manufactories, and neat dwellings. Some
times when passing a gorge in the hills you are
surrounded with rocks and woods, but anon, the
whirling car bursts out into the smiling coun
try. and green meadows, and winding streams, and
all the beauties of an enchanting i andscape lies
before you. The crops every where between

of tiaitors held here near the elose of the last war
with Great Britain, which has ever since been
noted as the Hartford Convention. Whether this
Convention left a blight upon the city, or whether
it is from some other cause, but Hartford has not
since grown ir. the same proportion of other
cities in Connecticut. New Haven lias lately far
outstriped it in many things.
The legislature meets iu Hartford and New
tlaven alternately. We should think that this
arrangement would be very inconvenient, lmt we
were informed by some of the State officers that it
was not so. The Rail Road from Hartford to
New Ilavt-n is through a beautiful country in
which are several flourishing towns.btit the country
so beautiful as that between Providence and Ilart-
is not so picturesque,and tite landscapes are not neat-
ford. New Haven is said to be the most beautiful
city in New England, and we fully accord with
that opinion so far as we are able to judge. The
famous New Haven Green, is a beautiful park in
the centre of the city. This green, and many of
the streets and avenues of the city, are adorned
with magnificent elm trees [which has given the
name of the Elm Ci’y, to New Haven. The build
ings of Yale College occupy one side of tin: green.
The State House and several Churches arc built
on the green; a large portion of this beautitu! green
wau once occupied as a burying ground,
hut the bones of the dead have been moved
to tho cemetery without the city, and the
names of many of those formerly buried
there are recorded on marble slabs in the
churches. Among the churches on the green,
is the famous Old North, or Dr. Dutton’s Church,
where H. W. Beecher, held his rifle meeting and
where a contribution was taken up to buy Sharp's
rifles to seud to Kansas. Tno famous Miss Mary
Dutton, who contributed one rifle to assist in
murdering her countrymen, we were informed is
not so much of an Amazon as might hare been
supposed,but is a very inoffensive old tuaid,who was
then, and is now, engaged in teaching school, and
would not harm a fly; but was so much of a fanatic
as to believe that she was doing God’s service, in
becoming accessory to murder. That famous rifle
meeting has done much good, it opened the eyes
and disgusted many of the reflecting men all over
the State, they saw to what a result the fanatics
were leading them, and rallied to save the country
New Haven w as redeemed at the next election, and
the whole State will soon be emancipated from
the iron yoke of the fanatics. We found many t hings
of interest about New Haven. Among the archives
of the State, we found a record of the first meeting
of the Colony; there is recorded the resolution that
no one could be a freeman aud be entitled to the
privileges of citzenship, unless he was a member
of an orthodox Church. There is also recorded
the resolution (fiat the precepts and laws recorded
in the Bible should be binding upon them in civil
as well as well as religious matters; which prob
ably gave rise to the saying that the people of
Connecticut agreed to be governed by the. laws ol
God, until they could get time to make better ones.
The College buildings are most of them plain
brick buildings, but the Alumni Hall and the Li
brary buildings exhibit considerable taste. The
Library contains between sixty* and seventy thous
and books, besides many valuable manuscripts and
newspapers. The collection of minerals, and
geological specimens is perhaps one of the best
iu America Piofessor Sillitnau and many other
friends of Science have devoted much time and
money, to make this collection, and it is well
worth a journey to New Haven to see this alone.
Among many other interesting objects we saw-
several sculptured marbles from the ruins of Nine
vah, and some bricks covered with curi-formed
letters from what is supposed to be the Tower of
Babel. The Trumbull gallery of paintings is open
to visitors every day, except Sundays. Here are
many of the most valuable payitings of this gifted
son of Connecticut. Besides this there was a
verv valuable collection of paintings on exhi
bition at ihe Alumni Hall Among these
were some orientals, and many copies of
several of the most eminent painters the world
ever produced. New Haven is a pleasant place,
and we left it with regret, but we bad already
spent more time in New England than we had an
ticipated, and felt that we must hasten forward.—
Aud now when we are about to hid adieu to New
England, we wiil say, that we have heard in ail
our tour as yet, but very little said on the subject
of Negro Slavery. Indeed, a though it was every
where known we were from Georgia, the subject
was rarely mentioned, except when we made some
allusion to it ourself. This we sometimes did,
on purpose to draw out the opinions of others, and
from all are have seen and heard, we have come to
ihe conclusion that tlio excitement and bitter feel
ing on that subject is fast subsiding in New
England, at least among the better informed class
But we see many evidences that there will soon
I be another contest about the tariff We believe
the manufacturers will soon make another despe
rate effort in Congress for a high protective
Tariff. The enemies of a high Tariff may as
well prepare for the contest, for in our opinion it
will surely come, and that soon. Our route by-
Rail Road from New Haven to New- York carried
us through about a dozen flourishing tow ns; much
of the time we were in sight of Long Island Sound,
so we bad the benefit of a prospect diversified by
•ta aud land, city and country, and finally for
about twelve miles before we reached New York,
it was difficult to tell whether were in tl e city or
country, there was such a mixture of rural and
urban scenery*. Concerning our visit to Green
wood, our voyage up the Hudson, our researches
among the descendeuts of the Knickerbockers,
our trip to Lebannon, and our adventures among
the Shakers, you will probably hear in a future
number. B.

Messrs Editors: A parts* of ladies and gentlemen
assembled at the Mill of Dr. N. B Whitfield, in
Pulaski county, on Friday the 20th inst. for the
purpose ot having a little sport in the way of fish
ing. The mill pond being drawn off, the sport be
gan, the water was literally aljve with fish, every
body went to woik catching them, some with their
hands, some with sticks and some with baskets—
having become tired of taking the fish, and having
already more than they could find use for, they s°
lifted out aud weighed something over five hun
dred pounds, a large portion of which were trout,
some perelt and bream; there were some of the very
largest trout I ever saw; a division of the fish being
made, the party dispersed to their homes, each
bearing trophies of their victory with the finny-
tribe.

Messrs. Editors: In this age of locomotion
ivl- .. going to New York is ontv a
£ ; ‘Vi - and am- re bagatelle to what it was a
few years since, the route that goes the quickest,
witli a corresponding degree of comfort, is a great
desideratum to travellers, and to those who prefer
the Steamers to Rail Roads, we think we can give
the necessary information. We refer to the well
known and favorite line of Charleston and New
York Steamers owned by H. Missroon A. Co.
W ith every accommodation, every luxury, and
commanded by such Captains as Blrky and Mur
ray, ably seconded by Parsers, Pritchard and
Mather, and going through :n from 45 to 50 hours,
with passage red- ced to $20, with due respect to
other lines, we must believe this is the favorite.
That is, if we can judge from what we have seen
during our trips back aud forth.
This line we can recommend as being entirely
worthy the public patronage, and w ill guarantee
that from Captain to Steward, (and by the by
Pat Ryan is a model) the traveller will receive
nought but gentlemanly treatment and whole-
souled liberality, and at the same time be going
by the swiftest and finest steamers that sail front
the Southern Ports. W. H. B.
Military Trip to Europe.—It has been annotm
red that the Seventy-first Regiment, Col. Vor-
burgh, intends making a trip to Europe, some tint*
during the coming fall. The report, however, is
premature; for although the members of the reg
imen; have discussed the propriety of pay ing a
visit to the French capital, cite matter has not been
definitely settled. It is now reported that a com
mittee, consisting of Lieut, McCormick, Col. Hep-
ouru and private Coulter, of the City Grenadiers,
company II, Second Regiment, departed in the
steamer last week for Europe, to make arrange
ments for the visit of that corps to Scotland, from
which country most of the members hail. It is
said the money is subscribed, and that the com
m tiee’s report will decide the matter. A trip to
Europe is not such a formidable matter after all,
and no doubt but that, before long, some of our
city companies w ill undertake it. It would add
immensely to the eclat of the corps that would
perforin the feat. A company- or regiment of our
New York uniformed militia in London or Paris
would be one of the events of the age, and would
create a great excitement. Last y*ear, the mem-
Lers.A'f-ltie..Lolninie.i^n Entrine,Cuniuanv. No ; J4,
ters, North, South, East and West, speak of the
promise of the harvest as something splendid and
prodigious. We do not hear of a failure in the
ters, North, South, East and West, speak of the
promise of the harvest as something splendid and
prodigious. We do not hear of a failure in the
wheat crop in any direction. Already the sickle
is at work in many districts, and with a few weeks
of fine w eather, the stack-yards will be tilled with
ail amount of golden grain such as they have sel
dom held, and the land blessed with a plentiful
supply of home growth rarely seen and more rare-
ly surpassed. Most earnestly do we hope for fail
and propitious skies that all this good promise
may be fulfilled. A rich harvest makes a happy
and contented people. It is good for the grower
who finds himself repaid by the abundance of his
crops for alt his outlay of time and labor and mo
ney. It is good for the consumer. It gladdens
the heart of the laborer—it fills his cottage with
joy*. And it is good for others beyond the grower
and consumer, fhe interests ot all classes art: so
bound up together in a trading and commercial
country* like this, that all flourish together and
all suffer together. We have, indeed, as it were,
lmt one interest, although with many brauches
and subdivisions. Touch it iu any* part and every*
nerve in the whole body thrills and is affected.
We have not a doubt, then, that tlie glorious har
vest upon which w e have just entered will help
greatly to place the trade of the country* on a sure
aud firm basis. It removes all distrust on the
monetary part of the question. There w ill be no
sudden rush upon the banks, such as in years of
scarcity* often shakes the trade of the country to
to its very foundation. Du that point we shall
be guarded against danger, aud most thankful
ought wo to be for it.
Georgia Academy for the Blind,—Piofessor W.
L. Williams, late ofEmory College, has been
elected Principal of the above Institution, and has

A Slaver and Three Hundred Africans brought in
to Charlestown.—It will be seen from the despatch
that tho brig Echo, of Baltimore, lias been cap
tured oft' the coast of Cuba, liy the U. S. brig
Dolphin, and brought into Charleston, having on
board three hundred African slaves.
This we believe, is the first instance of the cap
ture of a cargo of slaves by ati American cruiser,
and our readers may be curious to know what dis
position is to be made of the ship, slaves, Ac.—
The act of 1810 provides that the officers and
crew of the captured vessel shall be turned over to
the U. S. District Court to be prosecuted under
the laws of Congress.
The ship and Iter properties of every descrip
tion to be sold, and the proceeds to be divided,
half to the United States, and the other half to the
officers who seized and brought the vessel into
port, under laws regulating prizes. The slaves
are to be delivered to the U. S. Marshal of the
District where landed, and the President to make
such regulations aud arrangements as he may
deem expedient for “their safe keeping, support,
or removal.” and he is authorized to appoint
an officer on the coast of Africa to receive
them. —Savannah Republican.
Successor to Quitman.—The people of Hancock
county, Miss., have nominated for Congress, to
succeed Quitman, John J. Mc-Ray. Mr. Mi-Ray
is a native of the district, has served in the Leg
islature, been Speaker of the lower House, been
United States Senator, aud twice Governor of the
State, and in each an! every station acquitted
himself handsomely*.
Price For Starrs —At Mecklenburg C. II. Va.,
ou the 15th inst., about a dozen negroes sold at
very satisfactory prices. A negro man and his
wife brought $2.il0(t. A negro boy about 12years
of age brought $951—and the rest sold in like pro
portion.
An ill wind that Blows no Good.—As the Missis
sippi river recedes the overflowed lands shown
heavy accertions of soil or irregular thickness, ac
cording to position, the thickest being made in
eddies, or where the wafer has been stagnant. To
many planters this will be a rich compensation for
the loss of crops by the overflow. In several cases
there are. large additions to the cnltivatable soil
by filling up of the swamp lands. In one case the
retiring of the waters lias assured to one planter
a rise of three to five feet from this alluvial sedi
ment, upon his back lands, adding fifteen hundred
acres of the best soil to bis plantation. Two, three
and five hundred acres are mentioned as common
a c. sfllons from this source.
Slave Slanipr.de.—Ou the 14th inst.., says the
Lynchburg Republican, six negroes absconded
from their masters living in Barbour county, Va
Three from Mr. Coder, two from Mr. Isaac Wood
ford. and one from Mr. Hite. Four of Mr. Rey
nold’s slaves absconded from Taylor county at the
same time—making ten runaway negroes in one
stampede.
Accident in LaCrange—We learn that a little
boy* the son of Col. Augustus Fannin, of LaGrange
while handling a shot gun, a few days since, iu
that place was severely wounded by its acciden
tal discharge. Three fingers we understood were
blown off, and one eye perhaps entirely blown out.
This should be a warning to parents as well as
boy's.
Murder from deal m y.—The telegraph yesterday
announced the murder nr two persons iu Hampton
burg. New York, by a jealous lover Friday night,
i he following are the particulars:
Mr. Reeves and his family were absent from
home, leaving their house in the charge of their
three servants named William Saunders, Peter
Shoroch and Margaret Shealy. It seems that Peter
and Margaret weie to be married next week
and they bad been passing the evening together in
the room of the latter. At about 8 o'clock just as
he was leaving Margaret’s room Peter was met
at the door by* William who deliberately, and with
out a word passing between either, shot him di-
re'clly through the right nipple. Peter turning
b .ck opened the door through which he had just
passed, and fell dead across the threshold.
The murderer then ruffling into the room, over
tlie dead body of his first victim, shot Margaret
through the left breast, tiie ball passing out be
hind just below the shoulder blade. She turned
and jumping out of the open window to tho ground
some twenty or more, managed to crawl through
the garden and orchard, nearly a quarter of a
mile, to the house of Mr. Case, who immediately j
gave the alarm. The murderer has been arrested. I

When the fierce winds of adversity* blow over
you, and your life’s summer lies buried beneath
trost «iml snow, do not linger inactive, or siuk
cowardly down by the way, or turn aside from
your course for momentary warmth and shelter,
but with stout heart and firm step, go forward in
God's strength to vanquish trouble and to bid de
fiance to disaster. If there is ever a time to be
ambitious, it is not when ambition is easy, but
when it is hard. Fight in darkness, light wh-n
you are down; die hard, and you wont die at all.—
That gelatinous man, whose bones are not even
muscles, and whose muscles are pulp—that man is
a coward.
Here is a good Chance.

Superior Court, August Term, 1S58.
T HE GRAND JURY of said county, chosen,
selected, and sworn for the present Term, in
concluding their labors, take pleasure in stating
that from the few criminal cases submitted to the
cognizance and action of their body, can but be
convinced by the evidence thus furnished of a re
format! n of public morals.
Through our committees, we Iiavo examined in
to the state of the public roads, bridges, buildings
and records.
We find the roads, with some few exceptions, in
bad order. The bridge over Fishing Creek, ou (In
road leading from this place to Macon, we think in
a very bad condition, and unsafe. We find the re
cords of tiie Superior awl Inferior Courts neatly
kept ati-i fully brought up the present Term of
the Court. We have also inspected tlie various
books of the Ordinary, aud find them in like con
dition. The county treasurer having made his
annual report in Feb., last, we did not deem it ne
cessary to call ou him to make an exhibit of the
state of the Treasury. We find the Jail neatly
kept and in good condition, except the roof, we also
find the enclosure iu bad order, and cal! the atten
tion of the proper authorities to these defects.
Our Court-house has been so often refeired to,
by previous Grand Juries and it continuing
grow worse, and not any attention paid to the re
commendations of previous Grand Juries, we
think it unnecessary to say more than it is in
very bad condition, and hope that it will soon
cease to be a subject of complaint.
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Hardeman,
we cannot fail of expressing our high appreciation
of the ability with which he has discharged the
tru t confided to him.
We also c ommend the Solicitor General, Wm.
A. Lofton. Esq , for the prompt and efficient dis
charge of his duties and tender our thanks for his
gentlemanly deportmeut to this body.
We request the gazettes ot this city to publish
these proceedings.
