The river is tire feet. The steamer Taloimcco
left yesterday morning.
Target Excursion.
The Irish Volunteers, Capt. E. J. Walker com
rnanding, celebrated St. Patrick’s Day yesterday,
by their annual parade, and by a target excursion
to Schultz’s Hill, in the rear of Hamburg. We
learn that the occasion was very interesting, aud j
the day passed pleasantly. Many honorary mem
bers, and other citizens, were present.
There were two prizes contended for by the Vol
unteers. The first,"a silver medal, was won by pri
vate Michael Flynn. The second, a white plume,
was won by Sergeant Nicholas Dalt.
There was also one prize contended for by the
honorary members—a silver cup, goblet and salver.
It was won by Michael Fl'nx, who shot for Miss
Alice McCann.
After the amusements of the day were over, the
Volunteers, escorted by the Washington Artillery,
returned to our city. The two companies made a
very handsome display.
The Volunteers, with their invited guests, par
took, last evening, of an elegaut supper at Lam
uack and Cooper’s new Hall, on Broad street, and
enjoyed themselves to a late lnmr.
The Corner Stone.
We have neglected, says the Columbus Times
and Sentinel, of the loth inst., to notice the acces
sion of James W. Gaulding to the editorial corps
of this city. He is associated with James N. Bk-
Ttit'NE, Esq., in the proprietorship of the Corner
Stone. Mr. Gaulding has done the parly' good
service as editor of the Buena Vista Advocate. We
extend to him a cordial welcome to Columbus, and
hope he will find his labors pleasant and profitable.
Shocking Homicide.
Barely has it devolved on us to put on recard so
shocking a transaction as that which will be found
below from the Columbus, Ga., papers. The ac
cused being connected with the most respectable
families, and having an interesting family of her
own, and enjoying every advantage which educa
tion and social position can bestow, a more than
ordinary excitement must prevail, not only in the
immediate domestic circle involved, but through
out the community. Painful as must be the ]>i< -
cess it is due as well to society at large as to
the accused, that the majesty of the law he vindi
cated and justice be done:
From the Coi n mints Times and Sentinel.
Jury op Inquest.—During several days past, nt
mors have been in circulation in relation to the
death of a negro child, the property of P. A. Clay
ton, Esq., of this city, calculated to excite the mo
painful emotions.
We extract the following account from the O
lambus Enquirer, of the 15th inst.:
Painful Affair.— On Tuesday morning last,
lltli inst., the feelings of our people were consid
erably shocked by the report that a negro girl, be
longing to P. A. Clayton, Esq., of this city, had
come to her death by the violent abuse of her mis
tress on the evening previous. The rumor gained
ground during the day, and by night most of our
citizens were more or less acquainted with the re
ported details of this shocking affair, and the Cor
oner felt it his duty, in justice to the public aud
the party concerned, to take the matter into his
own hands. He therefore refused to allow the buri
al of the child until an inquest was held. A jun
was empanuelled Wednesday morning, and after a
general examination, gave their verdict.
One or two of the jury not being satisfied, and
Mr. C., it was reported, desiring further investiga
tion, the child was disinterred, and the jury re-as
sembled at the Court House Thursday morning,
where their investigations wore protracted for set
oral hours. Seven physicians conducted the post
mortem examinations, some new evidence was in
troduced, and the jury unanimously rendered tie
verdict below. This is a history of the proceed
ings as near as we have been able to gather it
and, as the matter will doubtless be investigated
by proper judicial authority, we leave it withoir
comments.

Tito Weather.
We have never given much consideration to tin
pre-calculations of the weather, as we noticed them
reported in the “ Naiubuip," a periodical published
in Philadelphia, bill as others consider them a
somewhat reliable, we publish the following, and
put them to the test of experiment or observation.
We find the following already condensed aud pi .
pared for publicatiau in the last Central Georgian :
March Dili, ai 7 a. m., adverse, tending to warm
and fair; at 8 a. m., genial, same tendency; S p.
in., tendency to damp; lip. in., adverse, tendenct
to cool and damp.
March 18th, 3 a. in., genial, tending to warm and
fair; 7 a. m., to cool and damp; 1 p. in., to warm
and fair; 11 p. m., to more or less wind.
March 19tn, al 1 a. m., adverse, tendency to
damp; 7 a. ni., genial, to cool and damp; 12 ai
night, adverse, tending to damp, windy or stormy.
It is but just to the author of these calculations
to state that he does not otter them as positive 'pr t -
dictions, but as the results of certain principles
which he considers as sufficiently reliable for most
practical purposes.
l-hf" By the recent arrivals from California,
among other interesting news, wc have the an
nouncement of the terrible earthquake at the cit\
of Jeddo, in Japan, on the lltli November last,
destroying one hundred thousand houses, thirty
thousand souls, and fifty-four temples. Fire broke
out at the same time in thirty different parts of the
city. The earth opened and closed over thousands
of buildings, with their inhabitants. The shock
was severe at Simoda. Although the distance
from Jeddo to Simoda is but sixty miles, it ap
pears that no official account of the earthquake
bad been received at the latter place at the time of
the sailing of the schooner I’age, Dec. 10. The
news was obtained through the Dutch interpreter.
The Japanese seemed to attach but little impor
tance to the catastrophe. The inhabitants of the
portion ot the city destroyed were forewarned of
the disaster, and many of them escaped. The
buildings of Jeddo are chietlv of one story, and
constructed of very slight material. The temples
of worship, however, are lofty, and in some in
stances are constructed of heavy masonry.
The city of Jeddo is described in Lifpincott’s
Gazeeter as the second capital of Japan, it being
the residence of the Slogan, or military Emperor.
It is situated on the Gulf of Jeddo, on the south
east coast of the Island of Niphon, in lat. 35* 40' N
long. 130’ 4"' E. Its population is stated to be one
million five hundred thousand. The city is said
to be enclosed by a trench, and intersected by nu
merous canals and branches of a riia*. navigable
for vessels of moderate burden. It lias a fortified
palace with very extensive grounds, many noble
residences ornamented externally with sculptures
and painting, some large temples and other public
edifices, aud numerous conventual establishment*-
but its dwellings are mostly of wood, and it sufi
t ers frequently from destructive fires. The imped
al library is said to contain one hundred and fifty
thousand volumes The Dutch havelonghad a com
mercial mission at Jeddo, and both the Americans
and the British have recently concluded treaties
from which important results may be expected
Outside of the city are two large suburbs.
A severe earthquake was felt in portions of Cali
fornia, about two o’clock on the morning of the
U>th February. At San Francisco the utmost alarm
was created, and thousands rushed from their
dwellings in their night clothes. The damage to
property was considerable, particularly to brick
houses and plastered walls
Precepi aud Practice.
The Know Nothings make it a cardinal point
that foreigners should not bold office. The “in
tensely American" sort have quite an abject horror
of any but natives ruling America. If the principle
bolds good in national, why not in city matters?
Are there not natives enough of Augusta—or at
least citizens, to fill all the offices?
But our good Know Nothing Council have over
looked both native and adopted citizens in filling
the new office of Recorder—an office which gives
the incumbent power to fine and to imprison, and
is therefore the most potent of alt in its gift. The
Know Nothing Council have bestowed the office on
one who has not been here even long enough to
entitle him to a vote—one, therefore, not a citizen.
The new Recorder is a worthy gentleman, ami
we doubt not, will make a good officer. We make
no objection to him. But is Know Nothiugism in
Augusta always consistent with itself? It objects
to squatters from abroad voting in Kansas, yet it
brings a gentleman not entitled even to vote in our
city, and squats him dmvn into the Recorder’s
chair to rule over the natives.
Kansas.
The miserable abortion of a State Government,
in Kansas, which lias resulted from the Topeka
Convention, have adopted their plans, and will
soon make application to Congress for admis
sion as a State.
The “free State” men in Kansas, aided by their
Abolition cohorts in the States where Black Re
publicanism and Freesoil Know Nothingism are
predominant, may yet create much trouble to the
country.
The “free State” Legislature organized at Tope
ka on the 4th inst., and the presumed Governor,
Robinson, sent in his message.
Whether the acts of this Topeka Legislature are
in their tendency treasonable or otherwise, 'or cal
culated to excite civil war, remains to be seen.
Gov. Shannon will avail himself of all the force of
the Government at hand, (o preserve order ami
good government in Kansas, in despite of the ef
forts of the malecontent spirits of the free State
Legislature.
“Ivaxhor,” the Washington correspondent
of the Charleston Standard, says: “The report of
Senator Douglas, from the Senatorial Committee,
is the most popular document of the session. Up
wards of two hundred thousand copies have been
ordered by members for circulation. It is an able,
full and correct erpose of the whole subject—argu
ing fairly every issue in the case, and showing the
Constitutional power over Territories. Judge Trum
bull made a long speech yesterday, in which he
attempted a criticism on this report, and aimed a
blow at his distinguished colleague, which fell
harmlessly at his feet.
Notwithstanding the overwhelming major
ity of the Black Republicans and Know Nothings
in New Hampshire, the recent election shows im
mense gains for the Democracy.
l-sf" Jackson Thomas, a black Black Republican
from Kansas, now in Washington city, says that
he has a high respect for Air. Greeley, but “he
lias cut Gov. Reeder’s acquaintance.”
Sam and Sambo. —The editor of the Hartford
Courant, an abolition Know Nothing organ, in
sists with great pertinacity, that Sam and Sambo
are one and the same person, or, if separate beings,
that they are the children of the same parents, and
twin brothers so far as size, looks, aud complex
ion are concerned. After defining his own position
at considerable length, the editor comes to the fid
lowing conclusions:
"We have, then, lli e two ideas —Republicanism
and Americanism. Is there any clashing between
them? Not the slightest. They are brothers; there
is no earthly necessity for the slightest collision.
They are ei ,■smart pair of Yankee twins ; such boys
as it would gladden any father’s heart to see; such
boys as only a bad man would wish to set a fight
ing. Let .S dm and. Sambo keep good friends.
There is uo necessity for jealousy or collision.”
The seizure of the boats of the Nicaragua
Company, by Gen. Walker, lias created considera
ble trouble among the stockholders in New York.
It is staled that the United States government will
interfere to protect the Company. But the Nicara
gua Company made their contract with that gov
ernment, and their boats are said to be seized for
debt. There is Some amusement ahead.
l-*T" A robbery was committed in Columbus, on
the 14th inst., at the Perry House, by some of the
travelling burglars who are now on their southern
tour. It is well to keep a good look out, in all di
rections, as they have no particular preferences for
locality.

agent for a patent tiltre, was required by consider
ate citizens of Charleston, on Saturday last, to be
come a non-resident. He went North.
S3T* “ St. Patrick’s Day” in Charleston, was
celebrated by the Irish Volunteers, Meagher
Guards, and Emmett Volunteers, bv target shoot
ing military, exercises, and suppers. The Nt. Pa
trick’s Benevolent and the HiberniauJSocieties also
had their celebration in an appropriate way.

iff” Dr. Thos. E. Bond, the editor of the Chris
tum Advocate and Journal, died in New York, on
the 14th inst. He was about Heventv-six years
old.
:-if”Thc propellor Arctic, which was sent out
in search of the Pacific, had not been heard of since
her departure. Fears are entertained that both
vessels are lost.
The Southern Presbyterian, of 15th inst., in
a long and well written article, says:
“ A friend writing to us on a matter of business
uses, at the close of his letter, these words : ‘ I re
gret to say that our church is In- rather a cold state at
the present time—hope it will not /« .../ long. Oar
church stems tube unanimous in changing its 'min
ister after this year.”’
The fact is, that so many pasters of churches 1
ami church members have allowed politics to ab
sorb so much of their time, and- sour their
Christian tempers, that there is no wonder that
the practical religion of “Christ is in rather a cold
state at the present time.”
Georgia Conference. —Below we give, says the
Savannah Georgian, of 10th inst., a statement of
the number of members within the bounds of the
Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal

Arrest of a Georgia Convict. —The Charleston
Evening News, of Saturday, says: “About 10 o’clock
last night officers AlcDoavell and Twohill arrest
ed Calvin Lewis, an escaped convict from the
Penitentiary at Alilledgeville, Ga. He was found
in bed with his brother, at the house of Air. Vero
xet, on Line street. He was put in the Peniten
tiary for robbing the Georgia railroad. He was re
manded to prison, where he will be kept till the au
thorities at Alilledgeville can be heard from.
Indemnity. —The Kentucky Legislature, which
adjourned sine die on Monday, previously passed a
law making all the cities and towns of the State

at Fort Brown, Texas, Feb. 14, 1856.
Isaac G. Burnett, ex-Alayor of Cincinnati, which
ofhee he held from 1819 to 1931, died on Tuesday.
The Mayoralty.
To the E.lib>r of the Constitutionalist:
As the time is fast approaching when our citi
zens will be called upon to cast their suffrages for
the Chief Executive officer of this city, and a pub
lic enterprise of great magnitude will soon be be
fore them for final action, it is proper that they
should place in that responsible and arduous posi
tion one whose well known sagacity and great
financial ability would be a sufficient guarantee that
the interest of our thriving aud prosperous city
would not be placed in jeopardy by the selection.
In this view of the case, I would respectfully sug
gest the name of Judge James B. Bishop, as a
suitable person for the Mayoralty; intending, at
the same time, not to disparage the claims of any
of the candidates for that office ; and without the
knowledge whether he would serve or not.
A Tax Payer.
The Grand Jury of Morgan county con
gratulate the "people upon the high state of morals
prevalent in that county.
In Alorgan county, Ga., they consider men

A monument to the memory of Benjamin
Brazewell, Esq., is about to be erected in the
Court House yard in Madison, Ga.
Alysterious. —Under this heading the Alexandria
Red River) Democrat, of Tuesday, has the follow
ing statement:
On Thursday last, the 21st inst., about twelve
miles from this place, Ihe body of a man was found
lying in a small creek, known as Hooper’s Creek,
in a horrid and mutilated state; most of the clothes
and flesh having been torn to tatters by the wolves
or wild hogs in the neighborhood.
Air. Isaac Tyler, the person that discovered the
body and from whom we gain our information, has
furnished us with the pocket-book found near the
body, and we find from memorandums, receipts,
Ac., that the name of the deceased was Alaj. Lew
is Alorris, late U. S. Consul at Campeachy, in
Alexico, appointed bv President Polk, in February,
1848.
The deceased was an elderly man, his hair being
quite grey. AVe will also state that in the pocket
book tvere found a pair of spectacles and several
finely engraved visiting cards:
‘Major Lewis Morris,
U. S. Consul, Campeachy, Alexico.’,
A Snake Ejected from a Man’s Stomach. —For
some time back, a gentleman named Harrison Ty
ler Wade, on a visit to a friend in the neighbor
hood of Reedy Creed, near Cox’s road, felt at cer
tain hours a choking or suffocating symptom, as if
something was being forced up his throat. This
was attended with pain and restlessness; indeed
ho seemed as if going off suddenly into a consump
tion, and puzzled both the friendly and medical
faculty to know what ailed him. When this suffo
cating sensation come on, Air. V ade felt always as
if he had an uneasy load on his stomach, which,
as he fancied, if removed, would cure him ; so he
resolved to try the merits of an unusually power
ful emetic on his constitution, in order to bring
forth whatever was bad in him !
The remedy he made use of was very near pil -
ing him a quietus in more ways than one, for it
nearly turned the snake-laden gentleman inside
out completely. After very violent spasmodic
workings and stretchings, a small milky colored
snake leaped from his throat, and seemed most
thunderstruck at finding itself in broad daylight,
and suddenly transferred so unceremoniously into
a cold temperature.
The snake was almost transparent, had reddish
eyes of great brilliancy, and was five and a quar
ter inches long. It made sundry efforts to turn
lofty somersets, protrude its sting, and, as if in
agony of grief at an ejectment by such a method
which can only find ils equal in Ireland between
landlord and tenants —from snug quarters, the
small snake died. We assisted at its interment in
a bottle of alcohol, excuse the bull- and noted the
whole affair down as something very uncommon.
Ah'. Wade, during last summer, white out in the
field used frequently to slake his thirst at rivulets
and creeks, and may then have swallowed the
snake when it was ot very small dimension. He
certainly felt considerably relieved after having
got rid of the creature which he prefers keeping in
a bottle much better than in himself.

The Washington Star contains the following:
“Wm. 11. Garland, the impeached defaulting
treasurer of New Orleans, is said to have pocketed
over two hundred thousand dollars from the city

“ The Emperor Eugene, ’tis said,
Two hundred dollars often paid
For Mowers from a fairy far land ;
But New Orleans can fairly boast
It gives—a somewhat higher cost—
Two hundred thousand for a Garland?”

St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855.—Having noticed the
certificate of chemical analysis given by the cele

City, in favor of Rhodes' Fever and Ague Oure, that
it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mercury or
Strychnine, and having received numerous appli
cations for it, I was induced to send to Mr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then, I have disposed of a
large quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who
have invariably been cured by it, and to whom J
can refer. I am, therefore, satisfied in recommend
ing it to be all that the proprietor represents.

A Perfumed Breath.—What Lady
or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a
disagreeable breath when, by using the “ BALM

would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth

their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate
their friends will never mention it. Pour a single

wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent,
bottle will last a year.
A Beautiftl Complexion may easily be acquired
by using the “ Balm of a Thousand Flowers." It

and morning.
Shaving Made Easy.—Wet your shaving-brush
in either warm or cold water, pour on two or three

Ladies and Gentlemen:—We would
call your attention to the advertisement of Prof.
O. J. WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE, which ap
pears in the columns of our present number.
From our long acquaintance with the proprietor,
and with numerous individuals who have used his
preparation with perfect success for the last two
years, we feel no hesitation in recommending the
article as superior to any of the preparations now
in use for the same purpose, viz: for restoring gray
hair to its original color, a sure and perfect cure
for baldness, and a never-failing preventive for the
falling of the hair.
It is decidedly the best and most popular in use
for beautifying, preserving, restoring and strength
ening the hair, relieving diseases of the skin, and
removing scurff, dandruff and all eruptions and fe
verish heat from the scalp.
We speak in relation to the above from what we
know, having been personally acquainted with nu
merous persons who have used the Restorative for
the above purposes with the most gratifying re
sults.
It is not often we notice a patent medicine. In
deed, we think we have never puffed one before ;
but Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative is something so
superior to most of the preparations of the dnv,
that we cannot forbear asking the attention of our
readers to it.— Catholic Vindicator.

SIMILIA, SIMILIBUS CURANTUR!

Surgeon and Accoucheur, late of Philadel
phia, would most respectfully inform the citizens
of Augusta and vicinity, that he is now located in
this city, and will at all times he ready to attend to
the various branches of his profession.
He would say to those who wish to avail them
selves of the true Ilomceopathic system, that they can
. do so by calling, or leaving a note at his office. He
has thoroughly tested all the old systems of prac
t tice, and after much study and long deliberation,
. become convinced that the law of Similia, Si mili
bus Vumntur is the only way by which remedial
[ agents can be applied id the' system to assist na
ture in repelling and throwing off disease.
Owing to a report extant, that our charges are
‘ high, we deem it a duty, not only to ourselves, but
to the community, to say that our charges, within
the city, are one dollar per visit, with the usual
mileage when we go beyond. Those who desire
I the system of practise, and not able to pay, shall
receive the same attention.
