| Engine, also, attracted universal admiration. It
was a new one of Philadelphia construction—a

purchased by the members of the Company at
an expense of $3,200. Both constituted as fine
a turn-out in personnel and materiel—as can be
seen anywhere.
! The Review and trial of the Engines took
place on Mulberry struct in the afternoon—the
Macon Companies entering into the controver
sy with their accustomed energy and spirit.
The street, the house-tops, galleries and w.n-
dows were thronged with the beauty, fashion
bone and sinew and young humanity of the
place. There were about 240 Firemen on the
ground, handsomely unilomied and equipped,
and their Engines and carriages beautifully dec

In Mr. Dougherty’s invention, we have a brass
hasp which is itself a lock. In securing the
door, the bolt is slipped forward by a slide un
derneath, and the key alone can unlock it He
thinks it cannot be picked. These locks are
made at a small cost, and will soon be app ied
to all the cars on the Macon & Western Reid,
and introduced on the other roads. Mr. Dot,_h-
erty has taken steps to secure a patent, anu we
hope the invention may be of value to him «ier-

Sectiou 1, Constitution of this State.
Sec. 5. Every person who may have been
held as a slave who shall come or be brought
or be in this State with the consent of his or
her alleged master or mistress, shall be free.
Sec. C. Every person who shall hold or at
tempt to hold in this State, in slavery any
person, or who shall hold or attempt to hold,
my free person in any form, or for any time
however short, under the pretense that such
person is or has been a slave, shall, on convic
tion thereof, be imprisoned in the State Prison
for a term not less than five years nor more
than twenty years, and be fined not less than
one thousand dollars or more than ten thou
sand dollars.
Sec. 7. Any person sustaining wrong or in
jury. by any proceeding punishable by the
.(receding sect'on of this act, may maintain
an action and receive damages tberefoi in any
court of record in this State.
Sections eight, nine and ten pile up an agony
of penalties against any State official, sheriff de
puty sheriff coroner, constable, or other officer
of the State, or policeman, who shall aid in exe
cuting the fugitive slave law, either in the arrest,
detention or return of a fugitive, and section
eleventh and last, authorises the Governor to
appoint an attorney in each county as counsel
for fugitives under this statute.
It will be seen at a glance that no statute
could liave been shaped in more direct antagon
ism to every principle of comity and Constitu
tional right and duty. New Y'ork in this bill,
not only formally denies all obligationsaml rites
of hospitality, which she is bound by the plain
est principles of the common law to extend to
the citizens of foreign governments holding ami-
cable relations with her own, but she proposes
arbitrarily to arrest, imprison and fine every
Southern citizen who shall pass through her
territory with his household, to enjoy the hos
pitality of others. For such an offence she de
spoils him of his servants, fines him tisn thou
sand dollars and imprisons him twenty years.
And in order to prevent all possibility of re
dress under the Constitution, she scouts at the
authority of the Federal Government She
makes stringent penalties against all of her citi
zens, who shall aid in the cnforccmcn't of the
fugitive siavc law, as enacted by the Federal
Government; she abrogates the act, practicsdly,
by requiring a jury—and were it possible to
obtain a verdict of rendition under it, tliat ver
dict itself under the federal statute, delivering
the slave to his master, would consign the mas
ter, under section sixth of this bill, at once to
fine and imprisonment, for claiming and holding
a slave in New Y’ork, contrary to law. In short,
it would be impossible to invent a more outra
geous bill, than this which has passed the New
Y’ork House of Representatives. There is not
an intelligent citizen of that State who would
not be forced to admit, that a casus belli might
arise at any time in ten minutes between any
two nations of Christendom, on precisely such
laws as this—denying the right of transit to
property and person—robbing the peaceful citi
zen of a foreign power on the highway, and pre
scribing the mast atrocious penalties of fine and
imprisonment for no offence against the law of
nations. \Ve say this bill contemplates no great
er offence against the Constitution than it does
against the lawjof nations; and by it, the repre
sentatives of the State of New Y'ork assume to
deny, under the constitutional compact; to the
people of the South, rights of transit and hos
pitality to which they would be entitled as the
citizens or subjects of a foreign power.
Now of what use arc the federal compact—
sonablc prostitution as this ? Do we say, it is
mere brutem fulmen—mere stuff of politicians
to palter to a popular abolitionism i—that the
Senate may not pass it? or if passed, it will be
a mere dead letter? Well, all this may lie and
probably is true; but we are bound to consider
the statute as an embodiment of public opinion,
and it stamps with mere lolly and inanity any
governmental system which seeks to embody
in one nationality a people one half of whom
brand the other half as felons, deny them the
right of transit, condemn them to fine, impris
onment and spoliation, even if an adverse wind

Northern Crime
Seems to be going ahead at a fearful rate, and
there is a degree and amount of diablerie about
it, which fortunately the criminal records of
the South may be challenged in vain to parcllcl.
Our homicides seldom spring from a lust for
gold—seldom grow out of deliberate preconcep
tion ; and when they are the result of purpose,
it is ordinarily in vengeance for some fancied or
real injury. Deliberate, unprovoked murder is
of rare occurrence in this section ; while every
day it is becoming more common in the North,
so that hardly a daily print from that direction
comes to us without one or more cases. One'
of the most atrocious we ever read is that of

Higdon, who attends the Superior Court of the
County, and the Gen. gave him a few lines to
the overseer, directing that if he chastised him,
to do it in moderation. The instructions were
shamefuliy and most inhumanly disregarded—
for, it is said, he deliberately whipped him to
death, without a moment's suspense. Seeing
the negro expire under the lash, he got his
horse, mounted him, and rode off the premises
in the direction of Ilawkinsville. If hp should

Soon after my arrival here ou yesterday
evening, I saw t'rom the large assemblage of
people collected about the Court-house, that
something unusual bad happened. The mys
tery was soon solved, for I learned that James
Revel, who was convicted in this county at the
March Term 1858 of the Superior Court for
the murder of \\ f . Y\ r . Hammack and who af
terwards made bis escape from Jones county
jail, had on last Monday been arrested in Ma
rion county Tennessee, and brought here in
irons by his captors, a Mr. Griffith of Tennes
see, and a Mr. Willis of Alabama, who at once
received six hundred and fifty dollars, the re
ward offered by the relatives of the deceased,
for the apprehension of llevel.

tion in the death of those who have paid the
penalty of its violation with their lives, lias been
productive of two effects. TYhile it has grati
fied the morbid appetite of the masses, who de
light in occasionally witnessing such spectacles,
it has had the better effect of giving assurance
of immunity for the future from the acts of out
rage and violence which we have suffered from
the class of outlaws to which these men belong
ed.—If -the latter consummation, so devoutly
to lxs wished, shall be realized, it will amply’
repay the shock which has been experienced
by the virtuous and good portion of our citizens
at the exhibition of this heart-sickening scene.
No event has ever elicited a more intease in
terest, or greater degree of feeling than has been
manifested here since the conviction of these
criminals, and as the day of their execution
drew near, this feeling increased; and on the
morning of the fatal day on which it was to
take place, the excitement had expanded to a
degree of tension which it was painful to con
template. Every other thought seemed to 1x5
:hatGov. Brown was the man, that even the op
position have lost all hopes of the last crumb
which they thought would accrue to tl^m from
a division in our ranks. It is true, there is one
paper, (professing to bo democratic,) a recent
immigrant among us, which seems to have open
ed behind the times on Georgia politics, that
has.been discussing this question. YYith this
exception, the democratic press is almost an
unit in favor of Gov. Brown. In his zealous
opposition, “Columbia” seems to have forgot
ten that every county, for which delegates
have been appointed, lias not only endorsed
his administration, but many have instructed
them to stand by him to the last.* It is a “great
error at the threshold” into which he has led
himself, to suppose that any such question is
agitating the people of Georgia, and much less
the democratic party.
Y’iewing “the great democratic ship" from
his “disinterested stand-point," he expresses his
distrust for her safety’ and “is not a little con
cerned," because, forsooth, the friends of the
Banks may give Gov. Brown the '■‘■cold shoulder”
and perhaps oppose his election. YYc have an
abiding confidence in the justness ol our cause,
and in this opposition sec no reason why we
should become so excessively alarmed. The

so much, by its violaters, from which they would

The
Anticipated Cuban
TION.
YYasiiington, April 14.—The opiuion seems
to be strengthening here that thc report about
the Cuban revolution is based on good grounds,
but it is thought the demonstration will be
confined to tbe residents and nativea.of the Is
land.
Those that are best informed, insist that our
government will, to the extent of its present
means, endeavor to prevent any fillibuster aid
plicity, as well as its perfection.
In sales of importance, such as of land, hous
es, or other transactions involving large sums of
money, thc affair is placed in the hands of a no
tary, who, for the time being, becomes an auc
tioneer. The property, whatever 1x5 its nature,
is usually examined by very competent judges,
who fix upon it a price, considerably less than
its value, but always sufficient to prevent any
ruinous loss ov a concerted plan or combination
of bidders. The property is then offered, con
formably to previous notice, with this fixed val
uation stated. The notary-auctioneer is pro
vided with a number of small wax-tapers, each
capable of burning throe or five minutes. As
soon as a bid is made one of these tapers is placed
in view of all the interested parties and lighted.
If, before it expires, another bid is offered, it is
immediately extinguished and a fresh taper
placed in its stead, and so on until it flickers and
dies of itself, when the last Bid becomes irrevo
cable. This simple plan prevents all contesta
tion among rival bidders, and affords each a
reasonable time for reflection before making a
Revolt!- higher offer than that of bis predecessor. By
this means, too, the auctioneer is prevented, from
exercising undue influence upon the bidders, or
hastily accepting the bid of a favorite. It also
saves him from deciding between two parties
contiguous buildings, trees, lawns, streams and
waterfall, presented a picturesque view, which
nothing hut thc pencil of the artist, or the ap
pliances of photography could pourtray, and it
is hoped that the occasion has been availed of
to perpetuate it Composed of elements which
the smallest agitation might have fermented in
to a fearful explosion—yet this vast multitude
was calm and quiet, its countenance placid, and
its mien subdued. There was not even that
swaying and surging and waving which is gene
rally observed In such immense assemblages of
people.
Its composition was varied, but conspicuous
could be seen its German clement. This peo
ple, following their instinct for shows and spec
tacles, were present in great numbers, and as
usual, in families, to witness it as an exhibition,
nothing more. Fathers with their children by
the hands, and mothers with their children in
tlicir arms, were there from early morn till
noonday, standing all the while, and looking as
wistfully and complacently as though they had
been waiting for the raising of the curtain at a
theatre, or for tlie signal tap of the leader of thc
orchestra at a concert. - To this class belonged
the mass of thc females who were present, and
but a comparatively few of others were to be
seen nearer than a quarter of a mile distant from
the gallows.
The same thing occurred on this occasion
which I have noticed at all the executions where
J have been present, viz. a sudden turning of
the heads of the multitude a moment before the
falling of the drop, and the equally sudden re
facing to the front, to witness the death struggle.
