The Limes correspondent at Cliio, under date of the 7th instant, (ele- graphs ns follows : 1 liuve justairiv od here from Constantinople, and Mr. Amos Ellington, who lived in the edge of Crawfordsville. was murdered on last Thursday. It semis that Mr. Elling ton waa a good citizen, and Ids assassina tion is much regretted. He waa hauling rails and fixing his fmee, in a half mile of the court house on Thursday last, whfti lie was attacked and murdered by some unknown person or peisons. A bullet hole was found iu his head, and an ug'.y gash on his jaw, showing tint the per petrators were anxious to make sure of his life. Such lawlessness in Georgia is becoming too frequent, and the guilty parties should, if captured, bn punished to the fullest extent of the law. Advnrtteenaenta an Mown. Good, Iresh advertisements are not the lend interesting and valnahlo portion of n nejv-paper. We have been told llmt » prominent New York journalist hoped to see tlic day when the profits on the circu lation of his paper would be so large that he could dispense witli advertising alto gether. We. think he in mistaken in his opinion of advertising and newspapers. Advertisements are news, They tell the readers what they want to know—whero goods can be bought; what they are sold for; who has houses to rent or sell; who wishes to purchase real estate; whore em ployment and labor can lie obtained, and a thousand other things tiiey want to kuow. It is an error to suppose that on ly the editors and reporters supply news worth reuding. The skillful advertiser furnishes a good share of it, and if there are any readers win fail to look over the advertising columns of their paper, they miss a great deal of information that would prove valuable to them.

FUNK 4 00., New York. The following anecdote is told on a Methodist preacher who travels n circuit In Gwinnett aounty: It is an old saying, nnd we stippoRC a true one, "that Methodist preachers l.oye chicken," but we never knew until ra ce n By the exact influence the former could bring to bear u/icn tbs latter, /.ast. week the Rey. Bro. W. L., went homo with Bro. 1). L. to spend the night, and cverytll'ng passed off nicely nnfil breakfast, (Ihii there was no cbicatn served). So coming out of the dining room, near by the door was a cluster of cedaraj and iu them nut a chicken. As the preacher rime ont the chicken saw him and fell tethc ground dead Where upon the divine called for his horse, and declared that be did not have any ill feelings toward the chicken, and insisted that lie should not be held responsible for its death. The above, though true, is not given to reflect any, diatjate .towasda tlic Alutlio- odist or tliiW ministers—fur from If. Blit having been very familiar with a number of Methodist preachers nnd have tlie honor of being a J/ethodist preacher's son, we feel, that we have a right to tell the joke. We are much obliged to the little bird that brought the news. as if it had boon terribly bombarded. Hundreds of houses tire transformed into a shupeless muss of ruins, under which lie buried on unkiiow number of victims. A majority of the re maining houses are already ciucked and rootleua and may full at ony mo ment. Nearly every building in town has sufl\ red more or less. The inhabitants wander about anxious to search for their missing relatives or lost property, hut arc afraid to risk their lives in the perilous work of clearing away the rubbish. Many who are wilding to expose themselves to danger are prevented Ly friends or the police. Fear, grief, and de spair me depicted on every fane. All have some sad or tragic tale to tell. The liist shock was felt Sun- day evening at about hall-past one o'clock. Immediately houses begun to fall, wild shucks were heard on every side ; then followed an awful silence of loino minutes. Terrified survivors gkaritndy ventured into n narrow lane aud reached open Bp ces Shortly alt< rwurd another terrible shock completed the devastation, and it remained quiet until sunset, when it began to shake the island through out as severely as before. All night shocks succeeded each other at short intervals, and each one was prcceed* ed by dull sounds, like subterruneun explosions. .Since that frequent shocks have been felt. A few min utes ago while writing the present dispatch, I distinctly heard an ex plosion-like sound, and telt the earth tremble, but us I ain under canvass I have nothing to fear. The old The Companion totiie Revised New Testament—explaining the reasons for the oiinnges made on the Authorized Version, by Alex Boh- ertn, D.

The American edition will have, bound in the same volume, a second bonk now preparing by a member of the American Committee of Revis ion who has been connected with the work from tlie beginning, und who is acquainted with all the iuota. This second book will be an explanation oi tbe Appendix to the llovised New Testament. It may not be gcm-rul'y known that, by an arrangement be tween the two Committees of Revis ion, tho ohungta suggested by the Ainerioan Committee, but which were not finally adopted by the Eng lish Committee, are to be published us an appendix to the Revised N> w Testament.

He conducted his own de fence m court, anil made a fervid appeal to the jurors, but they did not melt. Charles Y’oung, of Cliica^a, had a pret ty wife aged only 15, who was accustom' ed to indulge in flirtations witn a former suitor. When in a repentant mood, she advised her husband to arm himself, as his life whs in danger. He procure^, a pistol, hut instead of using it on his rival lie shot Mrs. Young. than the rest of the town. The ground there sunk ubput hull n me tre, nnd nearly uB the houses were immediately destroyed aud several hundred-persons must huve perished. About thirty Musselmen women were assembled in one of the houses, not one of whom escaped. The south ern piirt of the island is said to have suffered more than Hi is town. Her mujcBty’sgun vessel Bittern urrived here this morning. The captain at once came ashore, and ufter consult ing with (he governor of the island organized relief purliej to attend to the wounded And extract the dcud from the iuins. Jt is said that throughout the district not less than 30,000 people are without shelter. In Kostro tho work of extruding the bodies, and attending the wound ed is progressing satisluotoriuly, hut u stilling odor in the vicinity of muny of the ruins shows that former oper ations are far from complete. On the otlitr hand, some wonderful es capes have occurred. One woman wu3 buried uuder the ruins for 52 hours, and at last was rescued. Tie President up to Thursday hud sent to the Henute in all 200 nomina tioii8, of which number about 25 were acted upon before tlie dead lock began, leaving in the neighborhood ol 205 which lie unopened on the Vice President’s table. In addition to the executive business which the Senate could attend to there are five treaties pending, which can only be considered in executive session. From the 24th of March to tho pres ent time the Democrats have made thirty-seven unsuccessful efforts to proceed to the consideration of exec utive business. If the Senate fails to perforin the legislation necessary to inaugurate the new administra tion, for which the special session was called by the President, it will not be tlie fault of the Democrats. The American people will not fail to lay the blame where it belongs All the circuaeH will commence their campaigns in a tew weeks.
