A Man Murdered. \ enterday evening, about half past three o’clock, a man by tiie name of James Brady was struck, it i is supposed by a barkeeper, at the bar opposite the j post office, and lived but a few minutes. Brady was a paiuter by trade, from New York, j where be has a family. The deceased had been j drinking, although we could obtain but little in- , formation about the affair. Since writing the above, we learn from Lewis j Levy, Esq., ex officio Coroner, that an inquest was j held over the body, and the jury found that “ the | deceased, James Brady, came to his death from j blows indicted on his head and sides, with a heavy j bludgeon, in the hands of Wm.

Wellborn, of 1 Stoney Point, Ga., for the following statement: “Perhaps it would be instructive or interesting \ to some of your readers to know how many days j it has rained within the last six years, i have ; kept an exact account for this region, the line of j Wilkes and Lincolu, for that time, and the follow- j ing is the result: In 1850, we had 94 davs i In 1553, we had 97 dars.

Petersburg, to know that there have been falls of snow extending from Weldon to Petersburg, and we presume further North. Our latest papers from Washington are dated the 4th January. We no tice a reference to the arrival of the Arago, from Havre, but with no commercial news. It is proba ble the news will come through to-day. She brings Havre date* to the 19th December. The Hon. Joseph D. Allen, a prominent mem ber of the South Carolina Senate, is at presen: in this city. At an election held the 7th inst., for Directors of the Augusta and Waynesboro’ Railroad for the | ensuing year, ihe following gentlemen were duly , elected : Francis T. Willis, A. R. Lawton, Johy Stoddard, R. A. Allen, James I’. Screven, R. S. Gardner, Jr. John C. Poythess. At a subsequent meeting of the Board’ Francis f. Willis was unanimously re-elected President. An old negro man, by the name of Morgan, , a carpenter, fell dead yesterday morning, in the second ward. We learn that he belouged to Mr. Tobey, and died from a disease of the heart. Mr. Campbell, of Charleston. in ihi * published debates in the representative b:\tn 'li of the .'south Carolina Legislature, while the amendment to the charter of the Savannah j River Valley Railroad was before that body, Mr. Campbell, of Charleston, as we notice in the pub- j fished debut--*, us >d iho foil .-ring language in re- j tatiou to Augusta: "And f would sav the same thing here; these | people arc asking for a charter to build a road to j Augusta; and l would say let them go there with- | oui let or hindrance, proviso or condition, except j for ihi' remarkable fact, that we have found in our j dealings with Augusta, that they do not deal noon principles of justice, but have proved themselves ! utterly faithless. They have done that which no j honorable man, iu his individual capacity, would ; venture to do. and still hold himself to be a rospec- ; table and reliable citizen. They have, upon false j pretences, gained largely from the South Carolina j railroad, and ii is for that reason, and for that rea- j son only, that ! am willing to attach to the charter for this road a proviso, that it shall connect with j the South Carolina railroad, that wo may no lon- i get- be tributary to Georgia and Augusta*interests, j except so far as they may be willing to act in com- j moil with ones; until they are willing to forbear j acting ou the principle of seizing for their own use, j their neighbor’s goods, and denying to us that to ; which we have a natural right. If the corporation : of Augusta could be relied upon, as I think Colum- 1 bia or Charleston could be relied upon, 1 would be j willing to give this charter freely. If I did not : suppose they would, even at the sacrifice of their j faith, of their plighted word and contract, build up j a barrier lo prevent a connection between them- j selves and Charleston, and the seaboard of South j Carolina, and endeavor to turn the whole trade and ! business of this State over to the benefit of Savan- j nab. 1 would be willing to give to these citizens of our State, just what they asked, give it as a matter j of right, just as freely as I gave uty support to the ! Wilmington and Manchester enterprise." Mr. Campbell, the author of the billingsgate | above, we learn, reached his elevated position in ' the Legislature by the violent up-beaviugs of the Know Nothing waves in Charleston. We commend the remarks of Mr. Campbell to j the consideration of our coferaporary journalists in ' South Carolina. j Such vile abuse hurled against this community, ! even in the Legislative halls of Carolina, we will j know better how to respond to when wc learn j whether Mr. Campbell uttered, on that occasion,! his own, or the sentiments of the people of Charles- j ton. Lynch Law in Massachusetts.—The voung men of New Mariboro. Mas-., on Saturday evening attacked a house temporarily occupied bv Mr. Warner, a returned Californian, and Mrs. Leonard: gate each a coat of tar and feathers, and rode ' them on a rail. Both of the offenders ,we mean 1 Warner and Leonard) have families. The ne.ws- 1 papers of the neighborhood approve of the lynch ing. We ate inclined to doubt says the Savannah Re publican, of yesterday, the statement in the Charleston Courier, that the steamer State of Geor gia is to be pul on the line between that city and Philadelphia. The matter has been discussed among the stockholders, but according to our in formation, no decision has been arrived at. The Council have verv properly agreed to pay the medical bills incurred for attending on Wm. T. Cross, who was killed while in the service of the - city, a* a policenian. The Petersburg South Side Democrat, of the Mb states that there was no communication beyond Richmond, Va., in consequence of the drifts of snow and quantities of ice. Several of the steam ers on the bay and on the Potomac were unable to : travel. The Election.—At 1 o’clock this morning there were still 203 uncounted votes in the box. The tally sheets, however, indicate that the following persons are probably elected: Bilbo, Ordinary; Bulloch, Clerk; Cole, Sheriff; Reedy, Tax Re ceiver; Bennett, Collector; Fairchild, Treasurer; Eden, Coroner; Brown, Surveyor. —Savannah Re i publican Ssth. inst.

Prick op Slaves in Missouri. -—One would not i suppose that the tenure upon slavery was consider | ed feeble and precarious in Missouri from the price* : they readily command in that State. The follow ing is extracted from an account of sales which , recently took place in St. Louis: “ Andy and Candy, each aged 45, sold for $1,200; Hope, aged 20, $1,835; Aleck, aged 80, $685; John, j I aged 12, $1,161; Job, aged 5, $000; Ellen, aged 14, ! $908; Ann, aged 15, $1,059 25; Charlotte, aged is’ | and child, $1,231; Caroline, aged 4, $730; Sam, j ! aged 55, and Milly, aged 45, $1,700; Anderson, awed 1 i 12, 1,034. The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, of Saturday, ! says: “We learn that a painful accident occurred lust night on the Wilmington and Manchester railroad, in the neighborhood of Wood’s Creek, some eight or ten miles from town. It would appear that, on ; account of some defect in the working of the pumps 1 I of the locomotive engaged in carrying up the night • ! train going West from this place, the engineer dc - tuched the train and ran on ahead some distance, and in returning to take up the train again, came | back at so high a rate of speed as to cause a serf- S j ous collision, resulting in some damage to the train, | the mail car being smashed up and some little dam- i i age done to the other cars. The most painful cir- j j cumstance connected with the affair, is that Mr. i Charles Baldwin, the conductor, got seriously, and • , it. is thought mortally injured, by being thrown ■ from the train with so much force as to cause con i cussion of the brain. Mr. E. L. Sherwood, mail ' agent, was also slightly injured. None of the pas- ' | seugers were iu auv way hurt. Until the circum- I stances of the affair can be more fully examined i into, wc forbear any comment.” We clip» the following paragraphs from the | Charleston Couri«r, Jan. 9th: “ \V e are truly gratified to perceive that the busi i ness of our c-ity is daily increasing—more especial |ly in the produce department—as will be perceived ■ j from the follow ing statement of the receipts ves- • j terday: Sea Island Cotton, 992 bales; Upland Co:- j I ton, 2,283 bales; Rice, 1,128 barrels; Flour, 150 j barrels; Rough Rice, 12,100 bushels; Grain, 2,288 1 bushels; Coffee, 3,800 bags.

DEBT ON GEORGIA JUDGMENT ESTABLISHING LOST NOTE. 1. Statutory proceedings in Georgia to establish lost note, not proceeding in ran. —The summary rem edy given by statute iu Georgia to establish a lost note : Prince's Digest, p. 42b, sec. 6, > being prediet i ed on an t.c parte atiidavit, and without notice to | the party to be atfected thereby, cannot be assimi j luted to suits commenced by original attachment, j or other suits analogous to* proceedings in rrm, | since the court lias neither the person nor the thing j in custody. ; 2. Lair oT nations as to assumption of extra-terri torial jurisdiction. --It is a well settled principle of | international law, that every attempt on the part I of one nation or State, by its legislation, to grant j jurisdiction to its courts over persons or proper!) . not within its territory, is regarded elsewhere as i mere usurpation; and ail judicial proceedings, iu ( virtue of it, are held utterly void for every purpose. ; 3. Courts of general jurisdiction, as to summary , proceedings, held, limited and special. — Although eve | ry reasonable intendment is to be made in favor of I the regularity of the proceedings of courts of gen eral jurisdiction; yet this rule cannot be invoked j in favor ol their summary proceedings under statu j tory powers in derogation of the common law', as to which they stand on the -ime footing with ( courts of limited and special jurisdiction, and must I strictly pursue the statute. 4. Common la w presumed to exist In sister Slates. i —By the common law, which is presumed to exist | in a sister State, a man was not bound by any judi ; cial proceeding, to which he was neither a* party j nor a privy, and against which he had no opportii i uity to defend, and any foreign statute, or rule of : court, contravening this principle, and authorizing j the court to proceed without notice, or upon publi- I cation, must be affirmatively shown, or the pro j ceedings under it will be held void for want of ju risdiction. ! f 5. Invalidity of Georgia judgment establishing ! j hut note.- -A summan judgment rendered under j j the statute of Georgia git ing the Superior Courts j j “power and authority to establish copies of lost i ; paper:-, & “under such rule - and pr- < an! I are or may be customary, and according to law and ; equity,” will be held void in this State for want of ! jurisdiction of the person, when the record does j not show the statute authorizing the Court to pro ! ceed without notice. i 6. PUa to jurisdiction of Foreign Court. —Ordina- ’ - rily in debt on a foreign judgment, a plea, aver i ring that the defendant was without the jurisdic tion of the Court and had no notice, should also - allege, that he did not, either in person or bv at j tornev, appear to the action ; but this rule only ap : plies to cases in which the record shows that the j I Court had jurisdiction of the person, and where i j this does not appear, the defendant may, under the i | general issue, show that the Court had no jtiris -1 diction. : What lias already been done, for the N'egiof The New York Observer, in a powerful article ! upon the past and present condition of the Negro j j race in this country, holds the following language, ' which contains Tacts of the most incontrovertible ! character. A few plain statements like these, by j drawing the mind at once to the true state of the : j case, is worth more to overthrow the fine spun the • ories of the Abolitionists, than a thousand lengthy addresses, however clear in argument. Comparl i sons like these, kill at once the effect of all the , Uncle Toms that were ever written. When the ancestors of those negroes were torn ; from their homes in Africa, by the slave-traders of : j Old England and New England, and placed under ; the influence of Christianity at the South, they j were among the most degraded and miserable of j the human species, slaves of cruel masters, the ! victims of bloody superstitions, believers inwitch ! craft and worshippers of the devil. I And what now i, the condition of their descend- ’ j ants ? Several years ago more than two hundred thousand of them were members of Protestant evangelical churches in the slaveholding States ! About ten thousand American negroes, trained chiefly at the South, transplanted to Liberia, now j rule nearly two hundred thousand natives of Afri ! ea, and through their schools and churches are \ spreading the fight and love of thegospe 1 in that ; land of darkness and heathenism. ! It is true that more than nine-tenth of ihe ne i groes at the South are still slaves ; but is slaves under Christian masters in America, the same evil 1 with slavery under heathen tyrants iu Africa 5 De - graded as these slaves may still be, compared with the sons of the pilgrims of New England, even with the mass of laborers iu some of the onlight- - ened countries of Europe, can thive million or one million negroes, bond or free, be found in any part of the world, who cau compare for good condition, physical, intellectual and moral, with ihe three million slaves at the South? Has Christianity, aided by the wealth of British Christians, done as inu.h during the lasi twenty vears for the eleva tion of eight hundred thousand emancipated ne groes in the West Indies. British philanthropists themselves bang tne judges of what it has effect- , ed there, as it has done during the same period for the elevation of our three million -American slave*? From the Cincinnati Commercial, Jan. 2 The frightful Catastrophe on the Ohio ami Pennsylvania Railroad. On Monday evening, the 31st ult., as the fast, ex- ; press train from Pittsburg to Cincinnati was turn- 1 ing a curve near Darlington, Pa., a frightful colli sion took plaee between this and the freight train going east. The collision was so sudden that no j lime was allowed to apply the brakes. The huge ! locomotives rushed upon each other as in deadly conflict, and, having spent their giant power in one ou.'et, sank together upon the track, a common j mass of ruins. 'l'he freight'train received com paratively little injury. Not so the other. The baggage car passed entirely through the first pas- j senger car—the bottom of the former passing just j above the floor of the latter, sweeping, in the • twinkling of an eye, every seat from its place, and j crowding passengers, baggage, stoves and broken - pieces oi timber into a space not large enough for one car. The concussion was felt but for a few se conds, and all was still, except the fierce hissing of the escaping steam. Almost instantly the j shrieks of dying men were heard, far above the 1 noise of the crushed engines. Three or four men j lay oft'to one side, iu the snow—some with broken j arms, others with shattered legs, and bruised, erv- 1 ing in piercing tones of agony for help. Just ] above the front end of the second passenger car, j where a great mass of fragments had been washed up, three men were seen, two of them held up by i their legs, the third showing out of the mass of ruins, but his head and hand crushed, and black congestive blood. Poor fellow, death gave him no : time for agony. Near to these, but on the other side of the cars, . stood a brave man—Matthew Kolt—one leg broken and his right arm held firmly beneath the heavy timbers of the bottom of the baggage ear, resting upon the front of the second passenger ear. He J uttered no complaint, though his leg Was brokeu and his arm litter&ily ground to pieces; nearly an hour elapsed before lie could be released, yet he ; showed no impatience and let no groan escape his lips. The other two men were almost equally brave, enduring their long confinement with re markable fortitude. The officers of the trains, as sisted by some of the passengers, exerted almost superhuman efforts to extricate the wounded and to place them in the unbroken ears; but so firmly were the ruins pressed together, that it was proba bly not less than an bom- before all were taken out. The cries of the wounded for physicians, for water, for warmth, and for wives and sisters, were suffi cient to rend the stoutest heart. Due poor man, whose throat had been cut either i by a splinter or by broken glass, was laid upon the j floor of the cars, and afterwards propped upon two i or three seats ; but his sufferings did not last long j —he breathed through the cut in his throat for an j hour or so, and then lay still in death. From pa pers in his possession, his name was found to be Samuel Johnson, from New Middleton, Ohio. We arc indebted to D. Jameson, Esq., of the steamer A. B. Chambers, who was a passenger on the ill-fated train, for a complete list of the* killed ; and wounded. TUK DEAD. ! Samuel Johnson, New Middleton, Mahoning j county, Ohio. An Irishman, aged abotu twenty-five years, a passenger for Cleveland. A paper was found on ! - his person marked “Kent.” A. Stokes, agent of the New Castle and Erie : i Stage Company. David Wait, Canton, Ohio. This gentleman i lived about three hours after the accident. Both ! his legs were crushed, and fatal bruises were in- : j tiicted on his side. The person mentioned by the telegraph as dead ‘ and unrecognized, was the young Irishman. All the others were identified. THU WOUNDED. Brown Sutton, train boy, residence in Alleghany city. One of his shoulders was put out of place, ancl he was seriously bruised. Daniel Carty, a laborer, residence in Cincinnati. One arm broken, side and leg badly injured. John Churchfield, of New Bedford, Pennsylva nia. Severely hurt on the head, arm and leg. Thomas Hayes, Alleghany city. Face, head and leg badly hurt. Matthew Robb, of Union, Trumbull county, . ! Ohio. One arm and one leg broken. John Veach, of Hulbert, Trumbull county, Ohio. Has a bad cut in the head, and his legs are badly ■ bruised. Henry Mansfield, of St. Louis, both legs broken. William Waters, (no residence given), one leg I broken. John MeGinley, of Cincinnati. Head cut and ■ arm bruised. Robert Moore, of Logan county, Ohio. Both ■ hips out of place. J.

Pa One leg and j - an arm broken. L. S. Way, an aged gentleman, from Grant county, Wisconsin. Post office address, Charlotte. ; | One leg broken aud hip out of place. Two others were slightly injured. . Mr. Jameson’s account of the cause of the ca lamity and the extent of damage to the railroad machinery is substantially the same as that given by the telegraph. The watch carried by the con ductor of the freight train was fifty-three minutes | out of time. We do not see how a stale of the facts could exist except through the most unpar ’ donable negligence. The persons killed and injuried were all in tin- first passenger car. The baggage ear was dri ven entirely through the first passenger ear. crush ing utterly every seat iu it. Two of the dead did not survive an instant. Every person in the fatal car was killed or horri- i ' ; biy mutilated, with but two exceptions, and they suffered from slight bruises and splinter wounds, i The passengers in the second ear experienced ' four shocks within an instant of each other, but ! were merely started from their seats, and did not I j imagine that such a murderous catastrophe had ! ; 1 befallen the occupants of the front car, until they i heard the moans of the wounded.

New York, Jan. 7. —Monday evening nothing ( had been heard of the steamship Canada, due at Halifax. New York, Jan. 7tb.—The steamer St. Louis ! from Aspinwall arrived to-day. She left Aspinwall j on :>th of December. She in her outward trip car- ' ried out troops from N’orfolkjOld Point) and im- ! mediately transferred them to*the steamers Golden ; ! Gate and Oregon without any accident, and all in I good health and spirits for active service. The Oregon left Panama on the 26th ult., and 1 the former was to sail on the arrival of the pas-i sengers per steamer from New York, of 2oth De- j ceuiber. The St. Louis brings dates from Sidney ' up to October Ist, and from Valparaiso up to No- : vember 30, from Callao to December 10. The accounts from Australia arc of very little importance; emigrants are flocking thither from : England. In the markets Gallego flour sold at ; Sidney at 63 shillings sterling. A treaty of ainitv j and commerce had been signed between the gov- ! ernments of Chili and England. The Valparaiso markets were dull, owing to the limited arrivals. There was yet another revolution : brewing in Peru. The fiillibuster’s spirit had even . spread thus far and increased the value of Guano j and Diamonds on account of the difficulty of get- i ting hands to work.

The Case of Mr. Bates.— The London Chronicle ! states that Mr. Bates, late of the firm of Strahan, Paul Co., the convicted bankers, has separated his interests from that of his former partners, and addressed a petition to the Queen. He states that i he never was really a partner iu the firm, that he was not initiated into its secrets, and had no au thoritative voice in the conduct of its affairs, but from the nature of his relation to Strahan and Paul had simply to do as he was bid. When he became a partner (he was previously a clerk) it was with the distinct understanding that his promotion was j , not to confer upon him any privilege beyond nnin -1 crease of salary, and of being announced to the world as a partner.
