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 ted the order. One of the lots embraced in the application for leave to sell, was known as J into the meeting by Mr. . .

In February 1845, property uud took what money he ana left the State. This act was be had but just passed his nonage, ecu ever since regarded and charac- him. os the great error of his life, c this error has already cost him cars of hard labor, out of the very i life, during which time no 011c can cleaner record.

Thus, por- limtc, he returned to Cherokee in ruined to work out the money, pay k conduct himself as an honorable 13 upright citizen, and if possible to there he had fallen. The people ! .uty greatly disapproved his past for a time withheld their confi- bini. Gov. Brown, who had then meed tho practice of the law, strong- of this feeling, and was decidedly him. Col. Waters again commeu- tice of law, and in 1847 applied at the bar of tbe Supreme Court, mi at Casaville. In view of bis !, then so recent, the older members present refused to certify him. He ' toUov.

From that day [*t*r eleven yean.) he has by his la sted his family in a respectable mun- b»s applied every dollar of the pro ds labor not actually necessary for v. to the payment of his debts.

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 Three days later from Europe.

Salt petre had advanced, but other urtieles were 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, was 300. 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 ny Generals Canrobcrt and Neill to the line 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.

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 out au owner, and fair play for any one who might claim and appropriate it. I congratulate you on being enfolded (en- cloaked) in the embrace of this old and trusted friend, and hope you may never again be sepa rated. Yours very truly. GEO. W. ADAMS. Sup.t AcquisiTioN of Cuba.—The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Bun, says : “One point of great interest to tho United States is involved in this posible complication of European affairs. Spain will be brought Jamaica.—The Courier des Elats Unis has a private correspondence from Kingston, Jamai ca, dated March 23, from which wc translate the following 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.

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 ing no effect, it was necessary to uusheatli the weapons, aud the sword of Col.

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.” The inventor is named Thomas, and lie has been bored nearly to death with ironical ques- Soulouque. who lived near by. beheld these ! ions - a “ d . 1 , ‘ ad my*elf cut so short that all I from Ifis window.

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 have no religion. I often fear for my-! Rrdeemer looked for by Job; the Be- self that such is the case, and feel very jloved ofthe Song of Songs.

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 C.

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 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.

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.

Tlie reply was made with such an evidently unaffected humility, and such a depth of feeling and sincerity, that if an audible voice from heaven liad uttested the gennineness of his Christian character, it could not more efiectuallyhavesilenoed his kindly in tending hut misjudging censor,or more completely have disabused him of his false impression, lie immediately ac- knowlcu his error, begged the Bishop’s pardon, and ever afterwards looked up on him as one of tho distinguished lights of the Christian world.
