Sail? (ovstititionaust BY JAMES GARDNER. TUESDAY MORNING, MAKCII IN. Contract Advertisers Must remember that live o’clock, P. M., every dav, is the latest hour for receiving their adver tising favors, for publication the ensuing morning. River News. 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. Cobovkh’slnquest- A frdict.

Elizabetli Clayton. Signed by the Coroner and Jury. 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. 1-5?“ A man by the name of John Kedzik, an 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. tST The ladies of Blackville, South Carolina, will hold a fair at that place on the loth April for the benefit of the Methodist Episcopal Church parsonage. The trial of A. B. Hudson, for killing G. W. All kray, came off'on the 28th tilt., at Memphis. Verdict, guilty, and sentenced to ten years in the Penitentiary. 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 Church South: Whites on Probation 5,549 “ in full Connection 44,252 Local Preachers 559 Total 50,360 Colored on Probation 3,341 “ in full Connection 18,473 Total 21,814 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 responsible to the owners of property destroyed by mobs. Capt. Charles F. Wooster, 4th Artillery, died 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 vote illegally who have not paid their taxes. 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. Petersburg (I a.) F.rpres 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 treasury : “ 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?” Washington, March 14. —A meeting was held to night bv the American members of Congress to deliberate as to what measures are best calculated to advance their interests in the present Presiden tial campaign. Con Min s, Ohio, March 15. The Legislature of Ohio has adopted a resolution to adjourn from the 9th of April till the first Monday of January, 1857.

WHEATON, President of Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri, mill lm A Perfumed Breath.—What Lady or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a disagreeable breath when, by using the “ BALM OF A THOUSAND FLOWERS” as a dentrifice, would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth white as alabaster? Many persons do not know their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate their friends will never mention it. Pour a single drop of the “ Balm ” on your tooth-brush, and 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 will remove tan, pimples and freckles from the skin, leaving it of a soft and roseate hue. Wet a towel, pour on two or three drops, and wash the face night and morning.

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.
