Extract of the Presentnients ol the Grand Ju
ry ol Gilmer tounty.
At the Muy Tirol of the Superior Court, 1 ~58.
E the Grand Jurors for the County of Gil
mer, selected, sworn and chosen for the
May Term of the Sujerior Court for said comity,
having gone through the business of the Term,
beg h ave to make the following Presentments:
We have taken into consideration the present
system of Education, and are unanimously oppo
sed to the Poor School system, because we believe
it to be wrong in principle. We hold that the
State of Georgia should regard all In r free white
citizens as equals, and by legislation should make
no difference or distinction, by fostering the col
leges on the one baud, and allowing but a pittance
for the education of the poor on the other We
think Georgia should occupy a more lofty position,
and while wo would not wish to see any of our
colleges go down for want of assistance, we, nev
ertheless, think she should adopt some means by
which a system of g< n> ral education should be
established to give all her sons and daughters a
liberal elementary education, upon terms of equal
ity; she possesses property to the amount of six
or seven million rdVIollars at least, and what high
er ends we ask. can it be appropriated to, than
those of educating the youth of our country; we
would, tli re for.-, most respectfully and earnestly
ask otir sister counties, and fellow Grand Jurors
of the State, to t-rke this matter into consideration,
and if in their sound discretion they concur with
us in recommending a general system of educa
tion that they are respectfully requested tojoin us
in requesting or instructing our Senators and Rep
resentatives to use their best influence to accom
plish the desired end.
We respectfully request the (J erk of our Su
perior Court to have published iu the Federal Un
ion that part of these Presentments which relates
to the subject of education.

Sketches trom the Virginia Valley—my Lord
Fairfax, of “Greenway Court.”
Millwood, Clarke, (Va.,) Aug. 20, 1858.
Editor of “the South."
Not far from the spot whence I send you these
hasty lines lived a man who exerted a marked
influence upon the destiny of George Washington,
and tjius upon the fate of North America. I refer
to "Greenway Court," the former residence of
Thomas Lord Fairfax, Baron of Cameron. It is
an old house, with a long verandah, dormer win
dows and low chimneys. Upon the roofs are
perched two belfries, which once contained bells,
I believe, but for what purpose cannot now be
easily discovered Perl aps they were used to as
semble the numerous retainers of his lordship to
their meals, or for other purposes, but the most
probable suggestion is, the Lord Fairfax placed
them there to aid in giving the alarm when “Kill
Buck.’’ ‘‘Kill Crane," or other barbarous neigh
bors led bis Delawares or Tuscaroras in a foray
against the border. Not far from the main dwelling
is a small stone cabin in which Fairfax made out
title deeds to all the surrounding county, aud where
he always slept, sentinelled by his great deer and
fox bounds.
He was born about the beginning of the eigh
teenth century, and early distinguished himself as
a wit and fine gentleman—what we now call a
man about town. There is good evidence that the
young gentleman was “fast.’’ He entered the
royal regiment of-the Blues, hut sold out, and ap
plied bimselt to the more congenial occupation of
holding the fans of countesses and playing tric
trac and spadille. He became intimate with Addi
son, Dick Steele, aud other literary- men who had
then commenced the revolution in English essay
writing.
There is a well-accredited tradition that young
Fairfax wrote one or two numbers of the “Specta
tor.” It was then regarded as a proof of great
natural good humor and condescension if a gentle
man of noble lineage descended to the task of
composing anything—that was left to the fraterni
ty of Grub street—to the Johnsons, Drydetts, Ad
disons, aud Fieldings. But for a yc ung lord to
write well was even then considered a feather in bis
cap, and Fairfax seems to have written well. At
least his essays arc not distinguishable from Addi
son’s and Steele’s, which is no small measure of
praise. The inventory of books, at “Gieenway
Court,” of which I possess a copy, would seem to
indicate a somewhat cultivated taste for letters.
Fairfax soon grew tired ot the frivolous pursuits
of fashion, however, and sought fur a wife. He
fell deeply iu love w ith a young lady, who received
his addresses avoidably, and the day was appointed
fur their marriage. The young man provided bim
selt with the most splendid wardrobe aud equipage
and wedding accoutrements, went to bring home
madaiue, ids countess, and found that she had
hastily married a ducal coronet which presented
itselt just at the crisis. 8o much for the bride
groom's experience of tlie fair sex. Tlie issue of
bis matrimonial enterprise seems to have implanted
in the bosom of the young lord a profound
misanthropy and disgust for the human species—
especially the fairer portion. After his London
episode man did not delight him, “nor woman
either.” He east about for the means of exiling
himself from the noble circle in which he had so
lately shone, and be found them. From his
mother, a daughter of Lord Culpepper, he in
herit! d some wild lands in North America, lying
b;-iween two streams called Potomac and Rap
pahannock, from mouth to Source. He determined
to go and see them, and this determination was
quickly carried out. Leaving the brilliant coun
tesses, wits, and gallants, and all the splendors of
the English court, he came to Virginia, never to
leave it any more.
At ‘ Beivoir,” the seat of Sir Win. Fairfax, on
the Potomac, he made the acquaintance of a youth
named Geoigu Washington, a relative of Lady
Fairfax. The nobleman took a great fancy to the
youth, told him a hundred stories, and, learning
that surveying was his favorite pursuit, asked him
if he would not like to lay out his lands beyond
tlie Blue Ridge. The result of these conversa
tions, fox-hunts, walks and talks with the Earl,
was the expedition of young Washington, ac
companied by Wm. Fait fax. a son of the owner of
“Beivoir,” beyond tin* JAileghanies. The young
men passed the Ridge at Ashby’s Gap in March,
i74s—forded the Shenandoah, and slept at “my
Lori l’airfax.s”—that is to say, at Greenway
Court. This may be seeti from Washington’s
journal. He was but sixteen, yet all his entries of
of movements, occurrences, aud projects were as
accurate as iu after life. The young surveyor
went as far as the South* Branch of the Potomac,
surveying assiduously ail the lands, making some
times, In- says, as much as six pistoles a day ,andso
returned. This expedition gave to Washington
that experience and knowledge which soon after
wards procured him the post of Lieutenant-com
manding at Fort London, Winches,; and his
services in the French war thereafter proved his
fitness for the generalship of the American forces
in 1775. Humanly speaking, Lord Fairfax was
the secret influence which shaped the whole career
of Washington.
The proprietor of these immense tracts of land
determined soon afterwards to visit the valley. He
carried out his intention, built the house called
Greenway. and removed thither—never to leave
the region again for any length of time, and to
die in it. He organized a species of rude feudal
court at this spot in the wilderness—assembled
around him a class of companions, or rather de
pendents, as rude as the bear and panther of the
forest, and here, far from the court, surrounded by-
wild beasts and savages, he serenely passed the
remainder of his life. He had a great fondness for
hounds and dogs of every description. They
slept upon his floors—not seldom upon him when
ever he moved. His table was profusely spread
every day in the year, aud all who choose might
pertake of tiie tude hospitality. Stories of the
bordery, hunting adventures,dangerous encounters
with savages or panthers, would enliven time.
Tho man who had ambled foppishly upon bis
high-heeled shoes itt the finest saloons of London
—who had exchanged satire with the smiling Mr.
Addison, and bowed above the jewelled hands of
the most, beautiful Duehesess—found a life more
congenial in the wilderness; a society which in
terested him far more than that of lords and ladies.
His golden lace had yielded to drab and fur—bis
cocked hat made way for an otter skin cap; the
delicate hand which had once daintly shuttled the
cards at spadille, was now taivny and hard by
sunshine and cold, it grasped a rifle or a knife.
He greatly enjoyed rough practical jokes iu
hunting. If my lord could play a trick upon his
fellow-huntsman, he w as more delighted than if be
had played the act at tric-trac.
But his former tastes had not entirely left him.
In his library, mixed with guns, ii-hing-rods, deer
antlers, and fox tails, were many volumes, of
which I would present a list, were it necessary.
Among th. m tv. re the works of Fielding, the
“.Spectator," with its associate collection of essays,
A Peerage, the History of Barbadoes, Common
Prayer books, aud volumes of Divinity, with many
of the classics, in the original. If he grew weary
of his rude companions, tho nobleman, now
gradually growing old, might thus retire to his
study, open his “Spectator,” and live as in early
life, hear the musical voice of Addison or the
eloquence of Bolingbrokc, aud read, perhaps in
essays from bis own pen, bis own youthful satire
upon former manners—ou foibles and fashions
which hud disappeared, and personages who hud
lain for years iu their graves.
He had retained an English chariot, also, I am
informed by an old gentleman whose hither visited
Given way Court late in the century The visitor
went to call mi my lord, and met with a splendid
coach, drawn by lour or six horses, pursuing the
same route. Within sat I ord Fairfax, clad richly,
and wrapt in a red velvet, like Richelieu or
Mazarin. Ho was very courteous, but somew hat
reserved, said the worthy gentleman. It is proba
ble that this meeting took place on Lord Fairfax’s
return from the banks of the Potomac, where he
chose to appear iu a guise befitting his rank and
position. In the valley, however, he was a plain
hunter. He fiih-d ably the post of lieutenant of
Frederick county, which was then almost a
principality, aud many of his summonses to the
mihtia are still extant, in his own handwriting.
In religion Lord Fairfax was a Swedenborgii^;
and an amusing anecdote is rel itc-dof him, iu con
nection with this fact. He was once crossing the
Potomac at Alexandria iu a (err;- boat, and during
liis passages the ferryman heaid him muttering to
himself and talking with the air of one who was
carrying on a conversation w ith others; curiosity
prompted the man to ask an explanation of this
singular proceeding: whereupon Lord Fairfax,
with great politeness aud serenity, replied
that he was “conversing with, l’eter aud Pan’.”
Upon reaching tiie bank, be offered the teiryman
the amount demanded of a single passenger, but
that worthy demurred. As Peter aud Paul had
been in tin*" bout he said it was no more than right
that bis Lordship should pay for his friends, inas
much as incumbrances did not permit bint, tlie
.ferryman, to demand of those gentlemen what
they owed him. To this facetious view Fairfax
readily assented; no doubt it pleased bis eccentric
taste, of which a species of grim humor was a
marked characteristic. He paid for Peter and
Paul, his friends
It is farther stated that the succeeding lord was
also a Sn-edenborgian, aud that when the chairs
were placed at the dinner table a seat was left
vacant for one of his sons who had died some years
before. In person the master of Greenway Court
was tall, jaunt, bony, and with a cast in the eye.
But all the authorities agree that his society was
extremely attractive. He possessed the talent of
relating anecdotes admirably, and he knew many
referring to celebrated personages of Queen Anne's
reign. The great disappointment of his life seems
to have soured an otherwise amiable disposition,
and driven him to the great valley; but be still re
tained many of the most attiactive traits of the
scholar, the gentleman ot society, the courteous
gentleman. He died in 1782, soon after the sur
render of Cornwallis at Yorktown. When In-
heard of that event he was in Winchester. It
seemed to strike him as a blow strikes. He laid
down the paper containing the intelligence,
beckoned to bis old body servant, and, leaning on
bis arm, muttered, “Take me to bed, Joe; it is
time for me to die!” He did not long survive the
shock.
It was indeed time for the old nobleman to
retire from an arena upon which he no longer saw
anything but disgrace, defeat, mortification. The
harsh storm of tlie revolution beat too violently for
his enfeebled nerves; the rude blast made him trem
ble like a yellow leaf on the bough, and when the
climax of that hurricane at Yorktown came to
him, he wa* borne away, aud disappeared. What
days must those have been for hint—the days suc
ceeding Yorktown! What a wondrous world ot
thought must he have lived in—what a tumult of
memories, agitations, and regrets! He hed been
born a nobleman, and bad shone at court; be was
dying amid the wilds of the New World, in another
age, which had completely forgotten the days of
his youth He had trained a young surveyor, a
boy of sixteen, on whose curling bead his band
had often been affectionately laid; and now that
boy was general in-chief of tiie American army—
tlie conqueror of the stout and hardy Cornwallis—
tlie prime agent in humbling the power of Eng
land in America—tlie Father of his Country! That
was tlie boy whom he had once known—a splendid
figure, covered with the dazzling light of glory—
the object of ail eyes—the pride and joy of a great
nation; and he, Thomas Lord Fairfax, Baron of
Cameron, a noble of the land thus humbled, was
dying in obscurity and loneliness. Truly, it was
time for him to die!
But Lord Fairfax cannot be forgotten. His
influence on the life of George Washington was
immense, and thus his name is rivetted in the
Pantheon of history by chains of adamant. Asa
mere English nobleman he would long since liave
passed into oblivion; as lord-proprietor of the
‘ Northern Neck” aud the great tracts beyond the
mountain, bis name might have lingered for a
time—to be forgotten, however in a few genera
tions; but he was more than an English nobleman,
more than loru-pioprietor of this magnificent
principality. He was the friend of a young sur
veyor but that young surveyor was named George
Washington. From him Lord Fairfax derives his
importance. The star of his life revolved for a
time beside that august planet, and the light
thence borrowed shines in otir eyes to-day. The
representative of a proud English name is only
remembered for his connection with a Virginia
boy.
These two figures moved together side by side
here at “Greenway Court,” the old man and the
youth—the noble and the mere gentleman—the
monarchist and the republican. The future was
to hold strange secrets, but the veil was not yet
drawn from the face of the great drama—that
drama which, commencing on the height of Boston,
was to end amid the roar of cannon on the banks
of the Chesapeake. Let us lose sight, however,
of all this long procession of mighty events, of
disastrous reverses and resplendent triumphs.
Let us see. here at Greenway Court, the gray
haired noble only and the smiling boy. The old
walls seem to speak of them. The great locusts
which droop above the roof and fill the airs of
spring with fragrance, sheltered, it may be, from
the summer sun the bare brow of the young sur
veyor. The old house slowly crumbles; all the
sylvan pngean of the past, the baying hounds, the
rugged borderers, the lurking Indian, have disap
peared—soon the old mansion, too, will go. Let
us revive the figures of the past while that is pos
sible. The cracked bells in the belfries sound no
more; but, as you leave the spot, they seem to ring
again a merry peal or a stern alarm from the
haunted land of the far border past! Lora Fair
fax strides across the green, surrounded by his
rude companions in the chase—his deer hounds
run to lick his hands and struggle for his rough
caresses: and yonder, rapidly approaching from
beneath the heavy foliage of the forest, weary with
a long day’s work, and glad to get back to the
hospitable roof, you may see the graceful figure
aud honest face of young' George Washington.

From tho National Intelligencer.
The Capture of Osceola.
A question having been recently started respect
ing the circumstances which attended the capture
of tho Seminole warrior Osceola, Major General
Jesup, of the United States army, with the view
of placing in their true light the incidents con
nected with a transaction in which he was per
sonally and prominently an actor, avails himself
of the ocasjon thus offered to present, in the sub
joined paper, a narrative of that interesting event
m the history of the “Florida war.”
Statement of Major General Jesup.
A matter has been recently brought into discus
sion with which my name was connected some
twenty years ago, aud, though explained at the
time, seems not even now to be well understood.
It lias been published in a neighboring print, on
the authority of a distinguished professional aud
public man. that the Seminole Indian warrior
Osceola, who, by the murder of Gen. Thompson
and by other atrocities, began the Seminole war,
■‘teas cuptured by treachery and fraud,” and that.
“trhen dying in his hopeless capticity, his bitterest
regret tens that history mould deprice him of the.
honor of winning the battle of IVitMacoochee."—
Had the gentleman who penned the paragraph
referred to (a part of which is quoted above) been
better acquainted with the details the of transac
tion, he would have been aware that the late Gen.
Clinch won the battle of Withlaeooebee, and that
there is some doubt whether Osceola was in the
battle at all. With that portiftn of the story,
however, I have no further concern than a desire
to vindicate the truth of history and the reputa
tion of a departed friend.
But the other part of the story, fcontaining the
charge that Osceola “was raptured by treachery
ond fraud," concerns me alone; aud, tiue, would
not only be damning to me, but be a stain upon
the character of the country for all time to come;
for, when in command of the southern army in
I&37, I as the representative of the government
ordered the seizure and retention of that warrior.
Osceola had come into Fort Peyton, a few miles
from St. Augustine, not on my invitation, nor
nor that of any other officer; but he, with bis
warriors, bad accompanied a messenger of Emath-
la. (King Philip,) tlie principal chief of all the
Seminole bands on and near the river St. John’s,
who had been captured some time before, and who
had been allowed to commuuicate with bis peo
ple on his assurance that they, or the greater part
of them, would come in and accompany him to
the West. Osceola, no doubt, intended to return
should he fail in the object that really brought
him in, which was to capture the place and re
lease tlie prisoners.
In a conference which I held with the Seminole
chiefs, at their own request, but a few weeks be
fore. I had assuied them that I would hold no
further conference with them, except to receive
from them the notice of their readiness to fulfil
their obligations under the treaty at Payne’s
Landing and their capitulation with me at Fort
Dade: tint I assured them that when prepared to
tuttil thosi obligations I would receive tliem and
provide for their removal to the new country as
signed to them west of the Mississippi; and if
any separate parties or bands should decide to
come iu before the body of the nation were ready
to move I would receive and protect them.
The chiefs expressed some apprehension that in
coming in to me they might be attacked by my
scouting parties and their people be scattered.
To enable them to join me without danger of at
tack from those parties I provided them with a
quantity of white cotton cloth to be used as flags
in communicating with any of those parties they
might fall in with aud with my outposts; but tlie
Hags were to be used for no other purpose ; and
the'chiefs were distinctly and positively told that
none of them nor their people must attempt to
come in again, but to remain. When .Philip’s
messenger, his son Coacooclie, left St. Augustine
to communicate with his people on the St. John’s
there were but few troops at the post. Oil meet
ing with Osceola he informed them that he could,
with a hundred warriors, take the place and release
his father. Warriors enough arrived to have
laken the place had the force nut been increased;
but, before they came in, I had thrown in large
reinturcements. I had become acquainted with
their designs through Indian negroes, some of
whom remained with tlie Indians and possessed
the confidence of tlie chiefs, hut whom 1 had in
constant pay. aud from whom I received informa
tion ot all that took place among them. When
Osceola found there was no chance of taking St.
Augustine, nor of releasing the prisoners, he de-
terinined to return, as I was informed by the In
dian negroes about him. But lie, with all who
accompanied him, had come in with the distinct
understanding that they were not to return. He
was a prisoner who had violated his parole; he
had killed oneof my messengers in time of truce,
when going under tlie sanctity of a flag with a
message to chiefs iu his neighborhood; and he
would have killed a second messenger but for the
energetic interference of Appiacca, (Sam Jones )
the Miccasuky chief now in Florida, who inter
posed, saved" him, and sent him back to me at
l'ampa Bay; be bad also violated the last truce
made by me with the chiefs. By either one of
these acts had forfeited his life by the iaws and
usages of war as recognized by civilized nations.
Had I allowed myself to be trifled with, and my
solemn assurances to the chiefs that none were o
come in but to remain to be falsified, I should
have received as I would have deserved, their
•com and contempt. It was my dnty to the
c |> u, ‘£y to detain them, and I directed that all
should be secured and detained.
In the closing report of the operations of the
army under my command, dated the 6th of July,
1838, which wa3 called for by a resolution of the
Senate, and printed by order of that body, and
thus became a part of the documentary history of
the country, I stated all the facts in regard to the
detention of Osceola which could then be disclos
ed without compromising persons in the Indian
country, and under Indian control, and embarrass
ing my successor in command; but facts wore
then given sufficient to the complete understand,
ing of the merits of the case. For the truth of
that report I w as then, as 1 am now, both official
ly responsible. The prominent facts of the report
were stated by Col. Benton in a speech in the
Senate and by Judge Underwood in the House
without contradiction. Every one who has read
the Articles of War is aware that my commission
was pledged for tho truth of my report in all its
parts. I was here r ady to meet any investiga
tion either before Congress or before a court of my
peers: but my report. I have reason to know,
was satisfactory to tlie government, as I believe
it was to every fair nijndeil and honest man in the
country who read it at the time.
Osceola had, by his repeated violations of the
usages of war, forfeited lus life, particularly by
his attempt to use a flag for hostile purposes at St.
Augustine, which made hitn a spy ng well by the
laws of nations as by our own Articles of War.
Wnetln r lie should he punished as a spy was at
the time merely a question of policy with me. I
could have convicted him; but to have done so I
should have lost the services of all who would
have testified against him, as not one of them
could have returned to the Indian country with
out the certainty of being put to death. 5 could
not afford to lose the services of the witnesses in
ftlture operations, even bad I been inclined to pro
ceed against him criminally, which j was not.—
Had we been at war with Britain or France, how
ever, and Osceola been a British or French gener
al, his fate would have been that ot Andre. But,
though ail intelligent and talented man, he be
longed to a savage tribe, not supposed to be ac
quainted with the laws of nations or the usages
of war; and, in place of punishing him. I sent
him out of the country, to Charleston, a prisoner.
In my course on that occasion I was influenced
alone by the high obligations of public duty ;
nnd if called upon to act in a similar case to-day,
were tlie circumstances the same, I should con-
« ' ler it mv duty to the country to act as ] acted

Georgia Deaf and Dumb Asylum.
We have, ever since the meeting at Cave
Spring, endeavored to inform ourselves as to the
real merits of the controversy bettveen Mr. Fan
nin and his friends, and the Institution. As far
as we have been able to determine, tlie whole
matter in dispute amounts to simply this: Mr.
S J. Johnson used to be Steward, but is Steward
no longer; Mr. O. P. Fannin used to be Principal,
but is Principal no longer, both want to get back
in their old places, and hence all this bobbery
which is being kicked tip—this is the issue in a
nut shell, and it covers the whole ground of secta
rianism, Ac., Ac., charged. It is a fight of the
outs to get in, and of course the real issue is not
presented.
Six of the Board of Commissi iners are personally
and well known to us, and a seventh, though
personally unknown, is yet quite well known to
us by reputation Two of the Board we do not
know at ull, but presume that of course Gov.
Brown would not have appointed incompetent
men to fill their positions. Now , it is exceedingly
strange that the Board of Commissioners should
have been unanimously in favor of Mr. Fanuiu's
removal, if he is the much abused man he is rep
resented to be. We have always supposed there
were two sides to questions generally, but from
the proceedings of the meeting at Cave Spring,
the reader would be led to suppose that there was
only one side to the matter dispute, and that there
was not, throughout the eutire length and breadth
of these United States, another man competent to
be principal of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, at
Cave Spring, but Mr. Fannin.
lit regard tc the charge of sectarianism which
has been made against tlu* Boiu^fbf Commissibners
it is very unaccountable tflit two prominent
Methodist members of it, and one who, though
not a communicant in ar.y church, has yet a
leaning towards that denomination, should have
joined in an effort to prescribe their owu adopted
religious tenets. Under this view, the charge is
absurd. It is farther still more strange, it Mr.
Fannin's removal was instigated mainly by op
position to his religious views, that a member of
the same denomination should have been chosen
as his successor.
Again, it is complained that Mr. Fannin has
been turned off to give place to a Northern man.
The reply to his charges is, that Mr. Dunlap, who
succeeds Mr. Fannin's i.s a native-born Virginian.
It is also asserted that Mr. Fannin is the found
er and father of the Asylum, and that therefore ho
is entitled to remain as Principal. Answer; First
we hear it denied that Mr. Fannin is the founder
and father of the Asylum. Second, it is a State
Institution, and no man has a right to occupy any
office within it, should it not prove to the best
interests of the State to retain him. If the Asy
lum belonged to Mr. Fannin, then lie might talk of
his right to be its principal, but not til! then.
The truth is that the patronage of the establish
ment has been, for many years, flowing into tho
pockets of the opposition to the Democracy; and
now, when, by the removal of Mr. Johnson and
Mr. Fannin, the patronage flows in a different
channel, the pockets which have been theyears-
long recipients are getting uneasy, and their
owners very clamerous, considering themselves
outraged—aye, wofully abused and injured men.
Rome Southerner,
Cse Plenty of Grary.—Dr. Dixon, in a lato num
ber of the Scalpel, in au article on “Diet,” assumes
the position that the use of oil would decrease the
victims of consumption nine tenths, and that this
is the whole secret of the use of cod liver oil, and
quotes tho following summary observations on
this subject made by Dr. Hooker;
Of all persons between the ages of fifteen and
twenty-two years, more than onc-tifth eat no fat
meat.
Of persons at tho age of forty five, all excepting
less than one in fifty habitually use fat meat.
Of persons who between the ages of fifteen and
twenty two avoid fat meat, a few acquire an ap
petite for it, aud live to a good oid age, while the
greater portion die with phthisic before thirty-
five.
Of persons dying with phthisic between the
ages of twelve and forty-five, nine-tenths at least
have never used fat meat.
Most individuals who avoid fat meat, also use
little butter or oil gravies; though they should
compensate for this want, in part at least,
by free use of these articles and also milk and
eggs; and various saccharine substances. But
they constitute an imperfect substitute for fat
meat, w ithout which sooner or later the body is
almost sure to show the effects of deficient colori-
fi cation.
A Methodist Minnistrr Shot.— The Rev. P. E.
Green, the minister in charge of the Warren coun
ty Circuit, Miss., was shot at Montalbou, last
Tuesday morning, by a man named Fisher. The
woutid is said to be mortal. Fisher has fled. The
Vicksburg Ifhig says the cause of the shooting
was, that Fisher’s wife had joined the chinch
lately—and Fisher meeting Mr. G., abused him
terribly, and finally pulled out a pistol and shot
itim.

Eje-President.—Xan Buren arrived In Oswego
just at the close of the terrible storm of Friday
and was told that the hotel which he selected had
just beeu struck by lightening in seven places.
"I think," said he, “that’s the house for me.—
I won’t come again.” The sagicious statesman
showed his usual caution. The ex-President, af
ter visiting the State fair went to see bis old friend
Ooi enor Throop, wlio has his home on the banks
of the Owasco. They are happiar now than when
evejry morning aroused them to the cares aud
clamor of the political strife.
Rev. Ralph Hoyi and Madame Lola Montez.—
Some of tlie journals, we see, are lashing a very
worthy Episcopal clergyman of the city of New
York, Rev. Ralph Hovt. for accepting aid from
Madame Lola Montez to help rebuild his church,
which an uncivil gust of wind blew awav some
time since. If is difficult to appreciate the reas
onableness or the fairness of this sort of censure.
Lola may not be a saint—none of us are saints—
but. if she is willing to do a good thiug in a right
way, why not let her? At any rate, “let them
that.are. without sin, cast the first stone.” If Mr.
Hoyt hud to wait till bis contributions came only
from angels and arch angels among us on earth,
we fear the church, which the wind knocked
down, would never be rebuilt.
Influence, of Public Eeerut’ons on the Young.—
The Wheeling (Va.) Intelligencer notices the sin
gular proceeding of a little son of Mr. Flach, in
that city, who witnessed rhe recent public execu
tion there. It seems that the lad has an uncon
trollable desire to know what sort of a sensation
banging produces. One day last week he got a
rope, made a loop, in which be inserted his head,
attached tlie other end to a fence, and sank on his
knees, in which position he hung Ufltil his face
w as black and blue, and life was almost extinct.
He was fprtunateiy discovered and cut down by
some boys, who chanced to be near. Not liking
the “sensation” as well as he evidently anticipat
ed. he afterwards attempted to make further ex
periments on bis still younger brother, but his de
sign was again frustrated. The boy is only 7
years of age.

Segro Stealing.—Four white men charged with
negro stealing, were brought to this place and
lodged in jail, on Monday last. A negro, the prop
erty of Mr. Edward Hayes, was found in posses
sion of one of the .gang, about Midway, from
whence he anticipated (with the wool,) a pleasure
excursion. The old thief, (tho leader.) while be
ing brought here, made three desperate efforts to
get awav, but it was “no go.”
The ‘“gentlemen” arrested, are Clayton and
Yarn, and two men by the name of Carter.
