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 Worcbester hospital, who were being transferred to that at Northampton. They were all the crazv folks in western Massachusetts. We don't believe it. 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 > ears the island Las not been so generally affect ed. There is not a part throughout its whole ex tent that is entirety free. At Matanzas the sick ness is particularly rife, the Americiiu shipping suffering severely.

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 or rather mtamouS on" accouiA. ui n’V. cGorcmnn, of tiaitors held here near the close of the last war with Great Britain, which has ever since been or rather nVfamoQs'h'il 1 aecWfTrt’OY 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. [Communicated ] 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. [ Communicated. ] 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 accepted the office, vice Rev. W. N. Chandoin re signed. He will assume the duties of his office on the ist of September, when next session of the Academy* wili commence. 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 S rawherry beds~An exchange, says, the month ' James !ciy, of August is the proper month for sotting out ~~ strawberry plants.

The King of Prussia is too sick to visit Queen Victoria at Potsdam. Her majesty returns home on Monday. By the terms of the treaty* of peace the Chi nese Empire is to be opened to the trade of all nations. Tlie Christian religion is to be tolerated and diplomatic agents admitted. Full indemnity is given by the Chinese government to England and France, but no mentions is made of America. A larg number of counterfeit dimes have within a few days been put in circulation in Baltimore, calculated to deceive, if not closely noticed. The words ‘‘one dime” are considerably larger than in tlie genuine, and the numerals of the date are also larger. They are dated 18.54. The Philadelphia Inquirer also warns its readers against a well- gotton up gold dollar, of the “bogus kind.” the result of the labors of an ingenious crew of rascal ly counterfeiters iu Massachusetts. Nothing but strong acid will show the deceit.

With the enlarg- A„rv.n„.l tlio diminution of mparis of from fhe fact that the pecuniary destruction of every* individual carried down by the vortex, de creases the rivalship of trade. With the enlarg ed home demand, the diminution of means of supply, and the easy terms upon which capital can be obtained, why should not the season be one of profit to large classes of traders, and to many descriptions of manufacturers.” Bainhridge Improvements.—We doubt not that Hainbridge is progressing more rapidly than any other town in the State. As a proof of this, there are at this time seven new stores being erected, and the eighth one soon to he commenced, besides numerous dwellings in dif ferent portions of the town. These eight new stores we learn, have all been engaged for the en suing season.—Argus. A Healthy Town.—The Albany, Ga., “Patriot” says there have been only six deaths recorded in that place during the last eight months out of a population of nearly two thousand. The Cable, Bought up.—We understand that Mes srs.

[.V. F. Express.

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.
