had. charged Col. Water*, in the Court House
in Casaville, with forgery and with haring de
faced the records of Cherokee county. As
to that charge, we are informed, the facts are
substantially as follows : Col. Waters mar
ried a daughter of the late Dr. John Brewster
of Cherokee county, who was formerly Sur
veyor General of this State. Soon after his
marriage. Dr. Brewster died, and Mrs. Loui
sa Brewster, his widow, became his adminis
tratrix. The estate was something in debt,
and Mr*. B., as administratrix, after due and
legid notice published in a public gazette, of
her intention, applied to the Court of Ordinary
of Cherokee county, for leave to sell several
lots of land belonging to the estate, but not
connected with the home plantation, to raise
money to pay these debts. The Court gran

the application for leave to sell, was known as

braced in the order, including- the Mineral
Springs lot, were then advertised for sale by
Mrs. B., as administratrix. The Mineral
Springs lot wns exposed to sale in Casaville,
on a public sale day. Col. Samuel Smith, for
merly a representative in the legislature from
Casa county, attended the sale, nnd stated to
the bidders that he represented Mrs. Brewster,
and that be was instructed not to permit the
lot to sell for less than $300. With this state
ment, Col. Smith, in behalf of the admistra-
trix, bid for the lot; and, as no one bid the
$300, it was knocked off to him. He then sta
ted that be would bang up bis bid to be trans
ferred to any one who would pay $300 for the
lot. Some months afterwards Maj. Howland
concluded to pay that sum for the lot; and,
with the advice of Col. Smith, visited Mrs.
Brewster, made the trade with her and paid
her the money. He afterwards took a deed
from her to the lot, which was mode by her in
her individual, and not in her representative,
character. He then improved the lot till it
was worth some ten or fifteen thousand dol
lars.
After some years Mrs. Brewster obtained
another order from the Court of Ordinary, and
again advertised the lot for sale. Col. Wa
ters was then in California, whither he had
gone with the consent of his creditors, openly
and above board, and took no part in the liti
gation which followed. Maj. Howland cm-
E loycd Col. Akin and Col. Brown (now Gov.
I.) as bis counsel; and tiled-a bill in equity
in Cass Superior Court to enjoin the sale and
quiet his title. In this litigation it became
important for Maj. Rowland to shew an order
of tbe Court of Ordinary of Cherokee county
authorising tbe sale at .the time the lot was
knocked off to Col. Smith. Upon examina
tion of tbe records of the Court of Ordinary of
Cherokee county, an order was found which
contained all the other numbers of lots em
braced in Mrs. Brewster’s notice of applica
tion for leave to sell, except tbe Mineral
Springs lot; and at the place on the face of
the record where this uumber should have ap
peared there was a blank mid an erasure. Maj.
Rowland and his counsel, and others who ex
amined it, were cf the opinion that tbe num
ber of the Mineral Springs lot had been in the
record and had been erased, and the inferenoe
was natural, without explanation, that some
one of the legatees, or some interested party,
did it.
The original book of records was taken to
Cassville and on the trial was tendered in ev
idence. It was objected to by the opposing
counsel as irrelevant to the issue, because it
nowhere contained an order to sell this lot, and
the number of the lot nowhere appeared upon
it. Col. Akin and Col. Brown insisted before
the court in the hearing of the jury that the
record book was admissible; and stated that
they expected to satisfy tho minds of the jury
by the production of the original advertisement
and by other circumstances, that tbe order
os grunted by tin: Court of Ordinary, did con
tain this uumber, and that it had been erased;
that Col. Waters lived in the town where the
records were kept and was a legatee, and that
tbe reasonable presumption was that be or
some other interested party did it. And to
make the statement have as much weight with
the jury as possible, each in his argument re
ferred to the fact that Col. Waters had acted
badly with his creditor* only then a short time
previously, nnd had left the county when in
debted to the county. They insisted that such
an erasure, if made wilfully and fraudulently,
was no better than forgery.
The court admitted the book in evidence,
and when the counsel for Rowland closed their
testimony, the counsel of the heirs of Brewster
introduced as a witness Fosey Maddox, Esq.,
who was the Clerk of the Court of Ordinary
when the order was granted containing the
erasure, and who made the record; who swore
in substance, that when the order was drawn
up by Col. Waters, as counsel for Mrs_. Brew
ster, the paper containing the advertisement
was not before him. and that neither lie nor
Waters recollected tbo number of the Mineral
Springs lot, as it lay in another county ; that
they recollected tho numbers of the lots in
Cherokee, and inserted them in the order, and
that Col. Waters left a blank to bo filled with
the number of the Mineral Springs lot, when
ever ascertained; that the Court granted the
order in this shape and gave Col. Waters leave
to fill the blank with the number when known;
that some days lifter when he, as Clerk, went
to record the order, he wrote till he came to
the blank, and commenced r ritiug the word
after the blank without leaving any blank on
the record, and that he then thought of the
necessity of leaving a blank to be filled by the
number of the lot on the record; that he took
his knife ami erased the last word he had writ
ten and left a blank space where the erasure
was mado to be filled with the number, nnd
that lie never afterwards learned tho number,
or indeed thought further about it, and it was
never filled in. Thi* explained tbe erasure
and showed that no one had been guilty of any
offence in making it as Maj. Rowland and his
counsel and indeed all believed, till Mr. Mnil-
dox, who is a man of irreproachable character,
bad given in bis testimony.
Upon this state of facts, the court was of
the opinion that the order had bceu granted
by the Court of Ordinary of Cherokee county,
though the number was not at thetime inser
ted in the order, and that as Maj. Rowland
had paid what was proven to have been the
full value ofthe lot at thetime ofhis purchase,
nnd the money paid by him had been applied
in payment of the debts of the estate of Dr.
Brewster, he was entitled to recover and the
jury found for Rowland.
These we arc informed are subtantially the
facts in this case, which Was tried some six or
seven years ago. AVe think it very clear that
Gov- Brown did nothing more than his dutv
as counsel, and that no criminality attached
to Col. Waters. Wc think the enemies of
Gov. Brown are hard pressed for charges a-
gainst him when they are driven to sucli ex
pedients as the otic here referred to. the
best they can do is to say that one of bis Sec
retaries acted amiss over fourteen years ago.
when he was quite a young man, though they
can allege nothing against him within the last
thirteen years, only that lic has worked hard

New Yobk, May 10.—The steamship* We-:
ser and Borusia, had arrived with Liverpool
dates to the 3d inst. They bring the following
report of the
Markets.
The sales of cotton for two days were 9.000
bales, Speculators and exporters taking 2,000
bales. All qualities had declined, some cir
culars say id. and others nearly 3d. closing

unchanged in prices and slow of sale.
General Intelligence.
The Austrians had taken the Ifuffnlora
Bridge, on tho 2Sth April, at the point of the
bayonet, after a sharp conflict, nud with con
siderable loss. This bridge is remarkable for
its magnificent structures, and crosses the Bivcr
Ticino at Buffalora, a small town in Lombar
dy. It was also reported that Mortara in Pied
mont had been taken by tbe Austrians. It is
a walled city with a sparse population. The
Ssrdininus lmd retreated before the Austrians.
The Canada which left Boston on the 20th
April, arrived at Liverpool on 2d inst.
The number of lives lost on the ship Pcmona,

A royal proclamation has been issued, offer
ing a bounty of £10 for seamen, with the in
tention of recruiting 10,000 men additional
for the British Navy. Great activity prevail
ed in the English Dock-yards, and England
is evidently preparing for war.
The telegraph wires to Switzerland liad been
cut by the Austrians. (The line referred to
is probably the one connecting Milan with
Geneva, thence to Paris, and was cut in order
that no intelligence of the movements of tbe
Austrian troops could be known.) The Aus
trians are concentrating a large force at Pia
cenza. There were 40.000 French troops at
Genoa. * The King of Sardinia will accompa

of the River Dora. The Austrians have taken
both sides of the lake Maggiorc. Austria
wants to borrow £20,000,000. Napoleon is
expected to join the army abput the 3rd May.
Prussia is preparing for war. Numerous
failures are reported in London. Wolf & Co.,
of Berlin have suspended in consequence of
the panic. The failures at Yienna ore believed
to be unexampled, nud the week on the Paris
Bourse is said to be ruiuous. A dispatch da
ted at Yienna the .’Kith April, says that Count
Buol, the Austrian Prime Minister of Foreign
Affairs, has notified the Foreign Governments
through their diplomatic agents of the proba-
tional reasons entertained by the Emperor
Francis Joseph, for his declaration of war.

He was born at Huddletowo, Connecticut,

years old, (and Very old indeed lie was at that
time of life,) he had made one hundred and
sixty-five bargains, barters and dickers in
shoe-strings; peck-tops and jack-kuivcs, aud
hnd amassed the sum of five dollars and fifty-
three cents. At the age of eleven he entered
the store of Grab&Ketchnm, in his nativetown,
and continued therein as a clerk until he had
reached the age of fifteen years, nnd accumu

and thirty-two cents. Investing this amount
in potatoes aud dried pumpkin, he set sail in a

Dear Sir; Your favor of 3rd inst has re
mained unanswered until now, in consequence
of my absence on business at Atlanta.
After some search, your old and tried friend,
the Blue cloak, has been found, and will be
forwarded to you by this night’s train. When
the search was begun, we presumed your old
friend, the Blue, had gone the way of many
others, under similar circumstances; that is,
had been worn out by some negro, or some
more mean white person who had found it de
relict, a waif upon the ocean, unknown, with

A Strange Vehicle.—A man in Westport,
Sla, has invented a large waggon to be pro
pelled by sails, aud intended for carrying pas
sengers across the plains to Pike’s Peak. A

Wcsrniurctand iwwiiljr been imposed a
new tax. to which the negro population are not
willing to submit. Some of tho disaffected rais
ed tile standard of reirolf arid entered the little
village of Savannah, where they destroyed
some property. The police having arrested
four or five of tbe ringleaders, their partisans,
far from being discouraged, continued their
work of destruction, menacing with lire thecity
Hall, if tlie prisoners were not released. In
formed of these facts, Governor Darling has
despatched against the revoltcrs a body of five
hundred men under thecommand of Col White-
field.
“As these troops were marching towards the
place of embarkment, they met a long file of
carts upou which were perched a number of
blacks, attracted thither by the sound of the
drums aud trumpets. These people blocked
up the passage from the soldiers, and the colo
nel ordered them to retire. His order produc

weapons, aud the sword of Col. Wbitefiehl.
which probably had not seen the light since
the battle of Waterloo, fell upon the shoulders
af more than one of the poor wretches.
Louis Republican says of this odd contrivance.
The wind-waggon took its flight to-day.—
Abouf 2 o'clock this afternoon, persons were
seen coming into Main Gross street, near Sa
ger’s furniture store, and the matter was soon
explained by the appearance of tbe much talked
of wind-waggon, a description of which I sent
you aevS9TOQf5 * ' 1 ‘ 1 ” •
It was surrounded by a crowd of spectators,
eager to see the operation of the curious look
ing thing, but from prudontial motives, the cap
tain would not hoist his sails whilst tho “vessel”
was in town. It was lmuled through the streets
by men and boys, and when fairly out of town,
four yoke of oxen were attached, and they
drew the “animal” to tho prairie, where it is to
find a depot, and whence it is to take its de
parture lor the land of gold and windy stories.
Many were the curious remarks made by
tbe curious assembly. One now suggested
that the physiologist O’Leary, now holding
forth in Westport, should examine its head,
and give a chart of the “waggonV’ character
Another thought it looked like a great “grand
daddy”—a long-legged species of insect; and
wondered if it could tell “where the cars are.”

Thomas believes that his iortnne is made.—
Perhaps it is, like other Pike’s Peak fortunes
—“over the left." Yet I wish him success.
It is understood that the wind-waggon is to
“weigh anchor” in a day or two, atiu “sail for
Pike's Peak.” I would’nt like to be one of
the first passengers.
The Unity of the Bible
As in Bethoven’s matchless music
there runs one idea, worked out thro’
all the changes of measure and of key;
now almost hidden, now breaking out
in rich natural melody, whispered in
the treble, murmured in bass, dimly
suggested in the prelude, but growin^
clearer and clearer as the work pro
ceeds, wiuding gradually back till it
ends in tbe key in which it began, aud
closes in triumphant harmony; so thro’-
out the Bible there runs one great
idea: man’s ruin by sin, and his re
demption by grace; in a word, Jesus
Christ the Saviour. This runs through
the Old Testament, that prelude to the
New: dimly promised at the fall, and
more clearly to Abraham; typified in
the ceremonies of the law ; all the
vents of sacred history paving the way
for his coming; his descent proved in
the genealogies of Ruth and Chroni
cles; spoken of as Shiloh by Jacob, as
ilie Star bv llalaam, as Prophet bv
God my Saviour, should think that I j i[ 0SC s; the David ot the Psalms ; the

A Soft Answer.
Under this heading the Episcopal
Recorder relates au instructive anec
dote of Bishop Griswold. Most of us
need line upon line, and fact upon fact,
to teach us the wisdom of meekness,
ami tho meekness of wisdom. During
his residence in Bristol, Rhode Island,
a Baptist minister, with tnoro xeal than
discretion, became impressed with the
couvictiou that the Bishop was a mere
formalist in religion, aud that it was
his duty to go and warn him of his
danger, and exhort him to “fieo from
tho wrath to come.”
Accordingly lie called upon the Bish
op, very solemnly made known his er
rand, and forthwith entered on his har
angue. The Bishop listened in silence
till his self-constituted instructoi had
closed a severely denunciatory exhor
tation, and then in substance replied
as follows: “My Joar friend, I do not
wonder Jiat those who witness the in
consistency of my daily conduct, and
she how poorly 1 adorn the doctrine of

ness a»d immensity of our business may be formed
by an iuspection of our invoices, which will reveal
the fact that the wrapping paper alone used in pur
business, costs annually, thirty-three thousand four
hundred and twenty-nine dollars and sixteen cents.
NO HOUSE IN THE WORLD can complete with
us, for our sales amount to many billions more than
the Rothschilds ever dreamed of. By our enter
prise and immense capital, we have succeeded in
chartering for our exclusive use, every one of the
various noted manufactories of the old and new
world, and with the exception of a few of the com
monest Dresses, coaxed out of us by the Courts of
England and Prance, by the most pathetic appeals,
for tho use of Victoria and Eugenie, we are enabled
to offer the far handsomer selections to our own cus
tomers. Our Factoricsare running night and day.

Our goods are always perfect\y fresh and new, for
if they are not seised within an hour after they are
opened we immediately box them up and send them
to the AUCTION ROOMS of New York. Philadel
phia and Baltimore, and we would state for the ben
cht of tbe uninitiated that these auction rooms ore
supplied exclusive from the refuse good* of our es
tabliskmcnt, thereby affording e; -
men abroad and a few at home.
That our goods are far cheaper, our stock larger,
our facilities for buying greater—that we sell mure,
and in fact do everything at our PALACE better
than any other house, is evidenced by the fact that
we are the only parties who say so in the public
prints.

such a depth of feeling and sincerity,
that if an audible voice from heaven

Christian character, it could not more
