Supreme Court in the Legislature, The Senate had before it on Wednesday, a bill to amend the 1st section of the 3rd article of the Constitution, and abolishing the Supreme Court and reorganizing the judiciary, which af ter some discussion was made the special order for the first Monday in December next. The Senate, it is said, are disposed to preserve the Court, but agreed that some efficient safeguards against abuse are necessary. In the House on the same day was lost, the hill to alter the constitution so as to make but one Supreme Judicial Circuit, the Court to set at Millcdgcville; yeas 75; nays 54. And a hill to make uniform the decisions of the Su preme Court, and to provide against a reversal of the same, with amendment by Judiciary Committee, was postponed. Religious Notice.

The Embroidery of .M iss Jacobs took the high est premium at the late National Fair in Rich mond, Va., and the Painting of Miss Bartlett, during a winter spent in Washington, was no ticed by the Press in a very favorable manner.

We learn from the Savannah pajicrs that the Directory of the Atlantic ft Gulf Railway met in that city last Wednesday. A report of surveys between Thoinasville and Bainbridgc was re ceived from the acting Chief Engineer of the Company, J. W. Moore, Esq., and an air-line route adopted between the two places, thirty-six miles and upwards in length, at an estimated aggregate cost of $553,700 42. A corrected cs. timate of the lower or Mineral Spring route to Thomasvilic, was also submitted, showing a re duction of $41,212 on tho cost of that route as estimated in the preliminary survey. In respect to tho remonstrance of tho Tallokas meeting a- gainst tho lower route, the Directors ordered the surveys and profiles of the route to he refer red to another competent Engineer for examina. tion and revision. The application of the Deca tur county subscribers for leave to apply their suliscriptions to the route in that county, was not acted on in consequence of the absence of Mr. Munnerlyn, a Director from that county.— The Board elected F. I*. Holcomb, Esq., Chief Engineer, vice Mr. Herriot, resigned. The con tracts effected by the President, for work, iron, and other materials were all approved. Conviction of Jacob.—Judge La- MAR’S SENTENCE The negro slave Jacob, property of H. New som, Esq., was on Monday, the 15th instant, con victed in Bibb Superior Court, of the murder of Thomas Bagby, Jr. The circumstances attend ing this sad catastrophe are doubtless fresh in tho minds of most of our readers. Tiie deceased, an exemplary young man, while endeavoring to dispossess this negro Jacob of some liquor which he was in the act of conveying into the Camp ground for the purpose of vending it contrary to law and the regulations of the ground, was fatally stabbed by the prisoner, and died in a few hours after. The Jury were but a few mo. raents in making up the verdict, and the prison er was brought into Court and sentenced last Friday. We append the address of the Court: Tiie State,! Indictment for Murder, and Vcr- vs. J- diet of Guilty, in Bill No. 1, Su- Jacob. ) perior Court Prefatory remarks of the Hon. H. G. Lamar, in pronouncing the sentence of the law. You have been placed before this Court, charged with the crime of Murder, and after the most searching scrutiny which able and expe riences! Counsel could give the testimony, to find some plea or mitigation of the crime al leged against you, a Jury, impartially selected, have found you Guilty—and upon the verdict thus rendered, it becomes my duty to pronounce the Sentence of the Law. Before pronouncing that sentence, I will take the occasion to make some remarks relative to the circumstances which have resulted so disastrously to you, in hopes that your own mind may be brought to proper reflection, and others be admonished from a like temptation. The career of life into Hail Columbia vs. Kansas. The Now York Tribune, narrating the result of some visits of inspection to the city free schools by two of our Florida friends, discloscth how they found themselves among the “ cullud population,” and how finding themselves there, one of the said friends “ barked up the wrong tree,” but smoothed his somewhat precipitate descent with the “truest gentlemanlincss.”— Now, wc will hack Mr. Walker against the world for “ smoothing over” any thing susccp- tible of that process; but wc go hail he never conceded free negro repugnance to national songs to be cither natural or justifiable. “ After more singing, an exhibition of the ca pacities of tiie Wheeler ft Wilson sewing ma chine by one of the scholars (for sewing is taught in the school) and some reading by a very little girl who stood up on a scat, Mr. Walker suggested the singing of “ Hail Colum bia.” To show a peculiarity of the school, the singing-master, Mr. Pettit, played through the time, but not more than a dozen of the scholars sang. Mr. Pettit afterward explained that he had never been able to induce teachers and scholars to sing any of the patriotic tunes; they said it was not a free country for black people, and they could not call it a “happy land.”— Mr. Widker, with the truest gentlemanlincss, regretted that he had asked them to sing any thing against which they had so natural a re pugnancy and requested that they w ould sing, for a parting song, something with which they were familiar. They sang a Kansas song. Lease oftiic State Road. The Bill to incorporate the Western & Allan tic Railroad Company, with power to lease the State Road for the term of ten years, was read a third time in the Senate last Vi ednesday, and “laid on tho tabic for ihc present.” The Auguste Dispatch of last Thursday, an notinccd the death of Samuel M. ThoneSbn, Esq., the news and commercial editor of that paper. Animal Elections. The Bill amending the Constitution so as to make the election of members of the Legisla ture annual, instead of biennial, was lost in the Senate last Wednesday by a vote of 54 to 52— not a constitutional majority. Japan. The N. Y', Herald of the ICth, has a very in teresting letter in relation to Japan, from an of ficer of the U. S. Steamship Powhatan, which visited several of the ports of that country du ring the months of July and August last, and took our Consul-Gcnaral, Harris, from Simoda to a point near Yeddo, for the purpose of secu ring signatures to the late Treaty. According to this letter, it is the people, and not the gov ernment of Japan, which opposes open ports and the progress of liberal ideas. Tho Emper or and court arc the “Young America” party. Tiie officials of the court came to meet them in a steamship navigated and engineered exclu sively by Japanese, and the Emperor is estab lishing a Nagasaki, a machine shop, blacksmith shop and foundry, which the writer says will be superior in extent and completeness to four- fifths of those in the United States, and capable of repairing any disaster which may befal an i am { hol>e Milledgeville Correspondence.

J. session to drop tho Telegraph a line occasion ally during the session and post you as to mat ters concerning the public weaL A multiplicity of engagements have heretofore prevented, but I now give you the benefit of a leisure hour. Milledgeville is dull—very few strangers have visited the capital in comparison with the crowds that used to throng the “ highways and byways” in the times when all the Officers were elected by the Legislature. This crowd has disappeared, and there is no difficulty now in obtaining seats in the Gallery of either House. As to the business before the Legislature there is any quantity of bills—every member seem ing to think it ncccsssary for his reputation, as a Legislator, that he should “ fling in a Bill.” The main object of attack is the, Georgia Con stitution—and if all the amendments proposed, were made part and parcel of that sacred instru ment, I verily believe Georgia would be depop ulated in a twelvemonth. All sorts of amend ments arc proposed, and frequently by some member who is not as well acquainted with the organic law of the land, as he is with the Greek, Italian, or the Chinese Alphabet I must confess to a strong and irrepressible feeling in favor of that good old Charter as our fathers left it, and we would rather live under it as it stands than trust its revision to the rude hands of inexperienced and impulsive leg islators.

"An argument against the policy of reopening the Slate Trade'; by K. G. Harper, Esq., Atlanta; printed by C. R.-Hanleitcr. 8 vo ( 78 pages. A copy of this pamphlet from the author, came to hand by mail last evening, and we have had leisure but for a glance at it. AN e lielieve it will be found an unanswerable argument upon the question. The argument upon the constitution ality of tiie slave trade prohibition is decisive, and that portion which treats of it as a question of expediency, is, so far as we have read it sin gularly felicitous. This essay will attract atten tion—it is timely—and we sliall be mistaken if it Materials for Fai»er. [From the New York Scientific American.] AA'hen reading and writing became common, demanded in such large quanti ties, the consequent increased intelligence of the people taught them more and more the value of economy, and it was feared that in time rags would become so scarce that the price of paper would rise enormously. This actually happened tliree years ago, and the price of paper rose from two to three cents a pound all over the world. The London Times offered a very large premium for any substitute which will make the same quality of paper at a less price; this set fresh men at work and stimulated those who were al ready in the field of discovery, and this newspa per is now printed on paper made from cotton and beet residue, but wc are not aware that they have been so fully satisfied as to pay the premi um. Dr. Collycr, at London, discovered that the refuse oftiic beet sugar manufactories mix ed with cotton could be made into excellent pa per : and we believe that tho general impression is that paper has been made from the refuse alone. There is an abundance of this material in Europe. In France, Belgium and Germany there arc 300(1 beet sugar manufactories, which give an annual refuse of 300,000 tons, and there is about 100,000 more to be obtained from the refuse of distilleries, so that the supply may be regarded for the present as almost illimitable. Very lit tle change is required in the machinery for man ufacturing paper from it, and it obviates tho use of size. It is said to contain about 50 per cent, of fibre, 30 purls of albumen and cellulose, and 10 parts of fixed salts. AA’c arc inclined to think, however, that in estimating the saving which introduction of beet residue will cause, some im portant considerations have been omitted by the discoverer, and his friends. In our opinion, from an examination of the residue and the pa per manufactured from it and cotton mixed, tho fibre of the beet plays but a very small part, and it is the mucilage which does the business. AN'c have not seen any paper of beet residue alone; the sample whicli have comsc under our notice all containing more or less cotton, and in proportion to the amount of cotton Is the supe rior quality of the paper. The beet residue, therefore, seems to us to play the part of a mucilaginous medium instead of an aqueous one. non ii is 11 ) ‘ | tiie tendency of which is to bind the cotton fi- leaves a doubt in the mind ol any caiiuiu anu i ; jres better together, to produce a sizing and careful reader.

It will teach, too, one important lesson to the slave—that while he has secured to him by law, an impartial trial in case of its violation, yet he Is, and must of necessity, be subordinate to the white man. Subordination to liis authority is a necessity, not a choice; and oliedicnce in all cases results to tiie benefit of the slave. - This obedience costs him nothing, while it secures him safety and protection. Die time which I have thought best to allow you before the day of execution, l would ask you not to let pass in idle regrets, or delusive hopes of escape from the death that awaits you.

Terrible Tragedy in Taylor coim- TY, KY!—TNVO MEN HUNG BY A MOB! A polite and attentive correspondent at Camp- bellsvillc furnishes us with the intelligence of one of the most terrible tragedies that has ever transpired in Kentucky. It Ls another,and pain ful evidence of the growing prevalence of mob spirit On AY ednesday morning, the 10th inst, about fifty men collected in Cambellsville, thc seat of justice of Taylor county, and proceeded to Grccnsburg in thc adjoining county. On the way they were joined by a number of persons, so that when they readied Grccnsburg, the par ty numbered fully two hundred persons. They proceeded deliberately to the jail, broke open the door, and took out Air. S. Thompson, Swan Despain, and George Hunter, who are charged with thc murder of Henry jSympson, about eighteen months since. Die prisoners were then conveyed to Campbcllsville, where thc sub sequent events in thc tragedy occurred. Arriving there, Thompson and Despain were immeaditcly hung on an elm tree in the vicin ity of thc seminary of thc town. Thc mob then attacked thc Cambellsville jail and obtained Zcke, a negro man belonging to the estate of the mur dered Sympson. At this juncture. Hunter, one of the murderers, commenced making a confes sion of the crime.—lie implicated six other persons as participants in thc cold blooded mur der. These are Jerry Staggs, Henry Staggs, Richard Staggs, John Underwood, Loyd McDan- cl, and John Barbee. The latter is a son-in-law of Simpson, Being present he was arrested Hunter and the negro Zcke, were returned to the jail and the party proceeded in quest of the other persons charged It was their in tention to take summary revenge upon these. Elias Skaggs, when the Greensburg jail was opened, committed suicide by cutting his throat. He was evidently aware of thc intention of the mob, and perferred self-destruction to an execu tion by their hands. cd to take pilots, engage servants, linguists, &e. 18.

'Wonderful Exhibition. A Living Man's Heart Open to Inspection— Excitement of the Medical Colleges—The New York papers announce a wonderful curiosity in the case of a livinguian with a deficiency inthc breast bone which enables the several move ments of thc heart to be seen. It has excited in- tease interest for several years past throughout the cities of Europe and Britain. The subject of the defect is a very intelligent gentleman, M.

The Negroes of India. A special correspondont'of the London Times in India gives some facts in regard to thc treat ment of tiie natives by their masters, which de serve tho attention of those English philanthro pists who concern themselves greatly about tiie fancied miseries of the American slave. The writer thinks that the arrogant and-repellant manner in which natives of rank in India arc often treatcil, and tiie unnecessary harshness to inferiors had much elfeet in producing the sym pathy which the mutineers and rebels have re ceived throughout the districts they have tra versed. Tlic correspondent mentions the case ofa respectably dressed native, whom he met at a bazaar, whose temple was cut open and bleeding, anti who, on being interrogated as to thc cause, said, with evident reluctance, that he was walking down the bazaar, when a “Saliib who was riding by, gave him a blow across his temple with the butt end of liis whip, without the slightest provocation. On tbc sanle' day, a “ Sahib” who had been actually sued by a na tive for debt, had thc impudence to lay his whip over tiie shoulders of the plaintiff. Ihc writer says he knows of several such cases, which were either compromised for money, or suppressed through fear; and one flagrant in stance is mentioned of an Englishman who shot his native servant with a revolver in liis cups, but the man, though badly wounded, did not complain. The writer notices thc abhorrence of dark complexions, and the contemptuous manner in which the word “ nigger” is applied to natives. These insults and wrongs have been remarked, and, in his opinion, account for thc fact that the domestic servants of Lidia were among the foremost in deeds of bloodshed during the re volt.—Richmond Dispatch. I’ll tell you,” said Ills sympathizing neigh- lair, “liow ’to obtain your wish. Go into thc woods, get a load of the most crook ed sticks you eon possibly find and my word for it, she will be as cross as you desire.” Father Gundy followed his neighbor Smith's advice. Having collected a load of the most ill- shaped' crooked, crabbed, crotchety materials that were ever known under the name of fuel, he deposited tiie same at the door, taking good care tliat his spouse should have acccsss to no other wood The day passed away, however, and not a word was said; another, aud still a- notlicr, and no complaint At length thc pile disappeared. “AYell, wife,” said Mr. Grundy, "1 am going after more wood I’ll get another load just Such as I got last time." “Oh yes, Jacob, said the old lady, “it will be so nice if you will, for such crooked, crotchety wood as you brought before, does lay around the pots so nicely." ANY- don’t vouch for the truth of the aliove. Durable Wooden Water Pipes. Some wooden pipes laid down for conducting water at Springfield, Mass., bv Charles Stearns, esq., appear to demonstrate tho fact that they are more durable in certain situations than pipes made of lead His plan is to lay them at such a depth as to prevent atmospheric action upon them. In sandy or porous eartli lie lays them six feet deep—in compact soil four feet deep, aBd in peaty or swampy soil three feet deep. In one place h-avy lead pipe was laid through a wet meadow, and it required repairs in four years and had to be lifted in ten. It was re placed by wooden pipes which have now been twenty years in use, and arc in good condition yet The aqueduct pipes which supply Spring- field with water have been in use fourteen years, and are still in good order. They are bored logs, the opening being seven inches in diame ter, and charred on tiie inside surfaces by for cing flame through them. Thc charring of the surfaces of wooden pipes or boards lias a won derful effect in preserving them from decompo sition. It is undoubtedly true tliat timber sunk deep beneath the surface of the earth, and kept from contact with tiie Jir, endures for centuries. , NYc have seen an oak log taken from the bed of ; a river, in whicli place it must have remained his chest, and gave a fine lecture on thc heart’s action, demonstrating his remarks avith colored plates and an artificial heart, and his own body. Thc collar bones are not connected, (neither are tho ribs to their opposites,) but there is a groove where the sternum should be; the skin is natur al. In its natural state tiie groove is about an inch and a half wide, but it can be distended to three inches. On looking at the groove a pul satile swelling is disccmable opposite thc third and fourth ribs; if respiration be suspended, it rapidly rises to an enormous extent, and remains full and tense until thc breathing is restored, when it subsides. This is the heart Between the clavicles there is another pulsatile swelling, easily felt, which is the aorta, the great artery from the heart The dilitation and contraction of the lungs is also seen.—In coughing thc right lung suddenly protrudes from the chest through thc groove, and ascends a considerable distance aliove the right clavicle into tho neck. Somebody's desire that there might be a win dow in the "breast of all men, or Charles Lamb’: equivalent, a pane in tiie stoma el i, is nearly rea lized in this case. At thc close of his lecture, l)r.
