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.

that these ladies arc really able teachers in the
branches in which they propose to give instruc

The Embroidery of .M iss Jacobs took the high

during a winter spent in Washington, was no

estimated in the preliminary survey. In respect

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:

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 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

be superior in extent and completeness to four-
fifths of those in the United States, and capable

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

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

leisure but for a glance at it. AN e lielieve it will
be found an unanswerable argument upon the

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.

It In our painful Juty to announce the
death of Col. Samuel. S. Sibley, who died at his
residence in this city yesterday morning after a
lingering illness in "the fiftieth year of his age.
The deceased had been a citizen of Savannah dur
ing thc past ten years, and was fora time connec
ted with thc Savannah Georgian as one of its ed
itors and proprietors. In public and in private
life lie bore thc character of a high toned, hon
orable gentleman. AVitli qualities of head and
heart to win thc respect and esteem of his fellow
men, he enjoyed the friendship of a large circle
of acquaintances, who will deeply sympathize
with his worthy iatnily in their distress and
bereavement
The deceased was a native of New Jersey,
but removed to Florida some twenty years ago,
where lie was for several years proprietor and
editor of thc Tallahassee Floridian. It may be
gratifying to his friends abroad to know that ho
closed a Christian life in a happy and triumphant

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

A Living Man's Heart Open to Inspection—

the case of a livinguian with a deficiency inthc

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. Mott proposed
a collection in Air. Groux’s behalf, though his
regular fee liad been paid by the faculty. . Scarce

to fly into the arena from thc seats of thc vast

students were present and the shower of quar

A Curiosity.—One of the greatest curiosi
ties we have seen for some time, was left at
this office a day or two ago. by Mr. James
Cole. It was a bird having the head, feet and
wings ofa sora. but the body of a crow duck.
It was pronounced by many, on first sight, to
be a crow duck, but upon examination, as we
have stated, thc head and feet are certainly
those of a sora. Sportsmen and ornithologists
arc invited to call and examine this specimen.
It was shot on the margin of thc river, a few
miles below this city.—Alexandria Gazette.
