The Savannah Morning ,V'«w, of April loth, •ays: “ We regret to learn that B. It. Gardner, E»q., a well known and highly respected citizen ot Milledgeville, was killed in Sparta, yesterday morning, by a man by the name of O. J. Powell. Mr. Gardner, who was formerly a resident oi Sparta, was in that town for the purpose of tran sacting some business in the Inferior Court. A misunderstanding in reference to some pecuniary matter had previously existed between him and Powell, which is supposed to have been the cause of the killing. Mr. G. wasshot in the street. Our informant, who left Sparta directly after the mel ancholy affair, is unable to give us any of the par ticulars, except that he heard four discharges of a pistol, which, as the deceased was an inoffensive man, who never went armed, he supposes to have been fired by Powell. He does not know wheth er Powell had been arrested. “ Mr. Gardner was a wealthy and highly esteem ed citizen, and was extensively known in the mid dle section of the State. He leaves a wife and in teresting family of children. His death is deeph deplored by the community of Sparta." Eclipse on Sunday Morning. Mr. Henry M.

At sh. 21m. the sun will rise, and the moon will set about the same Differences ia tire Paris Conference. The intelligence furnished bv recent arrivul ftom Europe in a measure confirm the previous conjectures in relation to the differences which have prevented an earlier adjustment of the treaty of peace at the Paris Conference. The position of Prussia, a power which has observed a neutral ity in the late war with the Allies and Russia, and the fact that Russia sustains the views which Prus sia has advanced, and iu which their mutual inter ests were involved, materially marred the harmo ny of the Conference. When matters of great im portance to the powers of Western Europe are t< be considered, or the relations of those Govern mejiis affected, Prussia demands that Iter voice shall Vie heard in tlie’Couneil that regulates the i sue. A representative from Berlin was according mgU admitted into the Paris Conference, much to the regret of some of the other contending repre senta tives. The following are the generally current and bo credited points which have been determined upon at Paris : First—Russia consents to the neutralization of the Black Sen. Second—Sebastopol is not again to become a war depot. Third—Nicolaeff to be reduced to a commercial port. Fourth—Russia abanduus the protectorate of the principalities. Fifth -Russia renounces certain territories in Bes sarabia, which leaves the navigation of the Danube free Sixth—A commission to be appointed to trace new frontiers iu this district. Seventh Russian soldiers passing the Pruth to be regarded as cue us belli by the contracting powers. 'The Paris Zseicile and other journals regard tin above as quite authentic. We understand that a despatch was re ceived yesterday from the Agents of the Iron Steamboat Company, at Savannah, which states that otie of the lighters of the steamer Randolph, and three hundred and twenty-seven bales of cot ton, were destroyed by fire on the downward trip. 1-sT At Memphis, Tenn, April 12th, clear sides were quoted at ten, and shoulders nine cents. ‘.3*" There appeal s to be some dissatisfaction among the reporters of prices and buyers of land warrants in Washington and Baltimore. J. M. Clarke A Co., of Washington, says ‘'that if a full meeting of all the dealers in land warrants in this city was held, a resolution would pass unanimous ly that the quotations of land warrants by any single house in this or any other city has no more to do with regulating the market price of war rants than the twisting of a pig's tail has to do with the changes of the moon." The Thames tunnel at present is both a success and a failure. As an example of engineering ► kill, it is undoubtedly a great triumph. Bit! until tl can be used for vehicles as well ns foot passen gers, it will not answer its original purpose. It is reached now bv a winding staircase down the shaft on either side of the river, and it is open day and night for passengers, at a tall of one pen ny each. 1: is lighted with gas, and some of its arches are occupied as small shops and for the ex hibition of works of art. The approaches for ve hicles are intended to be circular, by shafts of two hundred feet in diameter. Tiieir cost is estimated at one hundred and eighty thousand pounds. We do not understand that any probability exists ot their early construction. The Tui*t~s correspondent writing from the Cri mea, says: “The war party still cherishes hopes that the negotiations may break down. It may atm the French to make concessions, but it ought not to suit us. They doubtless consider that they have done enough for honor and glory and to re venge the reverses of 1812. Moreover,'they cannot afford war as Eng,and can, and their arm v however numerous they may show it to be upon paper i« dwindling sadly. Scurvy and fever are plavm havoc in its ranks. The mortality i n t u o French army is positively asserted to be one hundred and twenty a day and generally more." Sir High Barker, commander of the naval for ces in the East Indies, died at Davenport on the 21st ult. Sir Henry Puttings® died at Malta on the 15th ot March. This officer had rendered great ser vice in his administration of public affairs in In dia. China and Africa. Blackwood’s Magazine on Greeley and Bennett. No two men in the Union have done more harm to the character of American journalism than : the two whose biographies have recently appeared ! and which have been reviewed in most excoria- ! ting terms in the March number of Blackwood. I One has pandered to the worst passions of fanati- j cism and sectionalism in politics, and has fostered all the wildest and most vicious theories of social life The other has stimulated and ministered to the worst tastes of the million for scandal and detraction. From the latter no character was sacred, no privacy safe. The delight seemed to be to pull down the elevated, and cast shadows on the pure. To drag down the virtuous to the level of the vicious was a congenial task, and a spirit of calumnious gossip the pliant wea pon. Honesty, morality', religion, were the favor ite game of the seottei of all virtue. Thus was created a new era in American journalism, for the vitiated appetite grew with what it fed on and craved for more. Thus the New Y ork Her ald, laying its foundations in the mire, rose like a foul exhalation and prospered on corruption. The good feared it, but its columns exhibited an abili iv which redeemed it frem the contempt of the intellectual, and forced it upon their attention. Having got a foothold by tact, talent and energy, it could not be ignored as a power in society, though it was a power fur evil. The Tribune has become distinguished in rather a different line, though its influence has been not less pestiferous. It has clothed vice, and folly, and absurd social heresies, in the garb of philoso phic theories, which have captivated the shallow and deluded the ignorant. It has stirred up bad passions and fomented discord on political ques tions, and thus done great injury to society. But philosopher Greeley has seemed to us rather as a crazy zealot, and a dreaming theorist than as a wilfully depraved bad men. It has seemed to us the misfortune of his mental composition rather than the depravity of his heart that has made his paper such a pest to good government, loyalty to constitutional principles, and social propriety. We give from Blackwood copious extracts, which may convey a more’accurate idea of the man. The whole article is written with ability. It does injustice to American journalism and American character, to judge them by these two developments of the free press system. But that Magazine lias no sympathies with American insti tutions, or the successful workings of the Republi can system. We never look to its pages for any thing justly appreciative of aught that is favorable to either. It does not surprise us that it seizes on the bi ographies of GitKKi.KY and Bennett as a conveni ent opportunity to make a disparaging fling at the American press and people. From Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, for March. Horace Greeley. We are treated to a preliminary sketch of the history of Londonderry (not omitting the siege I and the Scoto-Irish colony who thence emigrated to New England. To the hasty reader all this may seem highly unnecessary, but to those who are de sirous deeply to penetrate into a “ nature” so un common as that of Horace Greelv, it is supremely important, as we are told that “ from his maternal ancestors lie derived much that distinguishes him from men in general.” Another chapter is devo ted to the paternal ancestors, regarding one of whom it is interesting to learn that he was a “cross old dog,” “ as cunning as Lucifer,” and that he died at the age of sixty-five, with “all his teeth sound!" At length, at page 33, we come to the great fact of Horace’s birth. As has been the case with many great men, it was attended with some remarkable circumstances. To these our biographer does full justice. His account of the interesting scene is too flue to he omitted : “ The mode of his entrance upon the stage of the world was, to say the least of it, unusual. The effort was almost too much for him, and, to use the language of one who was present, ‘he came into the world as black as a chimney.’ There was no sign of life. He uttered no cry ; he made no motion; he did not breathe. But the little dis colored stranger had articles to write, and was not permitted to escape his destiny. In this alarming crisis of his existence, a kiud-hearted and expe rienced aunt came to his rescue, and by arts, which to kind-hearted and experienced aunts are well known, but of which the present chronicler re mains in ignorance, the boy was brought to life. He soon began to breathe; then he began to blush; and by the time he had attained the age of twenty minutes, lav on his mother’s arm, a red and smil ing infant.” If tiie reader does not grant that to be one of :he most graceful climaxes in biographic litera ture, we shall not write another word. Presuming on a general unanimity on this point, we proceed. The red and smiling infant in due time of course turned out a prodigy ; “ he took to learning with he promptitude and instinctive irrepressible love with'which a duck is said to take to the water,” and was able to read “ before lie had learned to talk.” In spelling he soon became pre-eminent; i and great marvels nre recorded of his orthograph lic prowess. Unfortunately he was less distin i guished by those virtues which we usually desid erate in boys. Though never afraid of ghosts, or overawed by superiority of rank or knowledge, he was eminently deficient in physical courage.— “ When attacked, he would neitlier tight nor run away, but ‘ stand still and take it;’ ” the report of agon “would almost throw him into convulsions.” Fishing and bee hunting wen* the only sports he cared for, “ but his love of fishing did not origin ate in what the Germans call the ‘ sport impulse.’ Other boys fished for sport; Horace fished for ssh." Bee-liunting, again, “was profitable sport, and Horace liked it amazingly. His share of honey generally found its way to the store.” Ilis passion for books generally attributed to indolence, and it was often predicted that Horace would never “get on.” Superficial idea! Even in very early life, says Mr. Barton complacently, lie gave proof “that the Yankee element was strong within him. In the first place, he was always doing something; and in the second, lie had always something to sell.” Notwithstanding Horace's remarkable cleverness we are told that he was sometimes taken for an idiot—a stranger Having once inquired, on his en tering a “store” in a brown study, “what darn fool is that Even bis own father declared that the boy would “ never know more than enough to come in when it rains.” These pleasing anec dotes are given on the authority of a bibulous old wretch, whom the indefatigable Mr. Parton en countered and cross-questioned on the highway. He was quite drunk at the time, but “as the tri bute of a sot to the champion of the Maine Law, the old man's harangue was highly interesting.” Mr. Parton sets it down to the praise of his hero, that though brought up in (he bosom of Now Eng land orthodox, “from the age of twelve he began to doubt,” and “from the age of fourteen he was known, wherever he lived, as the champion of Universalism.” Here the biographer indulges in what be considers appropriate reflections, and points out to his readers the valuable effects of youthful infidelity. J “The boy," be coolly observes, “ seems to have shed his orthodoxy easily.”* Ho race Greelv was in a fair wav of training for his editorship. * * * * * * His manners were enlirely free from aristocratic taint, or any weak tendency to politeness. “He stood on no ceremony at the table ; he fell to with out waiting to be asked or helped, devouring eve rything right and left, stopped as suddenly as he had begun, and vanished instantly.” Again, “when any topic of interest was started at the table he joined in it with the utmost confidence, and main tained his opinion against any body.” He never went to tea-parties, never joined in an excursion, and “seldom went to church.” A most interest ing voting man, on the whole, was Horace Greelev * * * * * * In November of that year, Mr. Greeley was elect ed to a seat in Congress, by a machinery, the cor ruption ot which is testified by no less a person than himself. He was very active as a member, and soon made himself prominently obnoxious by exposing various legislative jobs.’ Some of the lively scenes that occurred are described at im mense length. Mr. Parton draws no flattering con clusion from the reception of his hero in the House ot Representatives. Let our American friends console themselves with the assurance that his tes timony is not decisive. “An h*nest man in the House of Representa tives of the United States seemed to be a foreign element, a fly in its cup, an ingredient that would not mix, a novelty that disturbed its peace. It struggled bard to find a pretext for the expulsion of the offensive person ; but not finding one, the next best thing was to endeavor to show the coun try that Horace Greeley was, after all, no better than members of Congress generally.” In 1849, the Tribune , with its habitual predilec tion for the fanatical and revolutionary, or, as Mr. l’arton loftily phrases the thing, “ true to its in stinct of giving hospitality to every new or revived idea,” devoted large space to the ‘promulgation of I roudhon’s delightful ideas on the subject ofprop <• rt \-. Among other things, also, savs our ebron egan a .^joinder'to the Evening Port in co ow tng spirited manner—the only specimen warndv f^ti^T‘ rUan ifw thanks Mr. barton h,s brave—his noble book. Was the orthodox Grannie dozing when she read it’ we choose to quote of Mr. Greeley’s vituperative abilities: “You lie, villain’ wilfully, wickedly, baselv lie!” This observation, placidly remarks the historian, “ called forth much remark at the time.” The per son to whom it was addressed was William Cullen Bryant. With the same instinctive hospitality to wards every form of delusion, the Tribune opened its accommodation columns to the Spirit-Rappers, who, notwithstanding a few hundred cases of in- j sanity, and other small evils, have, in Mr. Parton’s i opinion, done much good. About the same time I it took up the Woman’s Right humbug, acknowl- j edging that the ladies are perhaps unwise in mak- j ing the demaud, but maintaining that no sincere i republican can give any adequate reason for refus- j ing them “ an equal participation with men in po- ! litical rights." A whole chapter is devoted to Mr. Greeley’s platform exhibitions, which it seems are I very frequent and edifying—Horace haviug, as Mr. Parton tells us, a benevolent appreciation of the delight it gives “to see the man whose writings have charmed and moved and formed us.” Not only does he lecture as often as possible, but “ At public meetings and public dinners Mr. Greeley is a frequent speaker. His name usually comes at the end of the report, introduced with, • Horace Greeley being loudly called for, made a few remarks to the following” purport.’ The call is never declined ; nor does he ever speak without saying something; and when he has said it, he re sumes his seat.” The remarkable man 1 In 1851, Horace went to see the World’s Fair in Hyde Park. No foolish curiosity or sentimentali ty instigated the philosophic editor; his main ob ject, as announced (the Ameritftm editor keeps his readers regularly informed on all his movements) iu the Tribune, being to inspect “the improvements recently made, or near Imng made, in the, modes of dressing flue and hemp, and preparing them lobe spun and woven by steam or water power.” The departure and passage are carefully describ ed ; Mr. Parton having apparently paid a steward to note, watch in hand, all the phenomena of Ho race’s sea-sickness. Nothing that he saw in this effete country seems to have in the least impressed his great mind. The royal procession would have faded before “ a parade of the New York Firemen or Odd Fellows.” The Queen he patronisingly no ticed, and was even “glad to see,” though “lie could not but feel that her vacation was behind the intelligence ot the age, and likely to go out, of fashion at no distant daybut not, poor thing! “through her fault.” The posts of honor nearest her person should have been confided, he thought, to “the descendants of Watt and Arkwrightthy foreign ambassadors should have been “ the sons of Fitch, Fulton, Whitney, Daguerre, and Morse,” kc. Hampton Court lie thought “ larger than the Astor House, hut less lofty, and containing fewer rooms.” Westminster Abbey was “ a mere bar baric profusion of lofty ceilings, stained windows, carving, graining, and all manner of contrivances for absorbing labor and money;” less adapted for public worship “ than a fifty thousand dollar church in New York.” He gives credit to the English for many good qualities, but thinks them “ a most un-ideal' people,”—he, the romantic Gree ley! “He liked the amiable women of England, so excellent at the fireside, so tame in the drawing room ; but he doubts whether they could so much as comprehend the ideas which underlie the wo man’s rights movement.” 'The amiable women of England may well console themselves under a doubt so complimentary to their common sense.) * -if * -x * But does the reader wish to see the man himself —to know his height and weight, not metaphori cally, but actually, in British feet and inches; and iu pounds avoirdupois? So pleasant and laudable a desire the amiable l’arton is far from disappoint ing; for does not the great man say that “ there’s no use in any man's writing a biography unless he can tell what no one else can tell.” Here, then, reader, you have it, what, no one assuredly could, would, or should dream of telling you but the in imitable, the unapproachable Part on : “ Horace Greeley stands live feet ten and a half inches, in his stockings. He weighs one hundred and forty-five pounds. Since his return from Eu rope in 1851, he has increased in weight, and prom ises to attain, in due time, something of the digni ty which belongs to amplitude of person, lie stoops considerably, not from age, but from a con stitutional pliancy of the hack-bone, aided by his early habit of incessant reading. In walking, lie swings or sways from side to side. Seen from be hind, he looks, as he walks with head depressed, bended back, and swaying gait, like an old man; an illusion which is heightened if a stray lock of white hair escapes from under his hat. But the expression of his face is singularly and engaging ly youthful. His complexion is extremely fair, and a smile plays ever upon his countenance. His head, measured round the organs of Individuality and Philoprogenitiveness, is twenty-three and "a half inches in circumference, which is considera bly larger than the average. His forehead is round and full, and rises into a high and ample dome. The hair is white, inclining to red at the ends, and thinly scattered over the head. Seated in compa ny, with his hat off, he looks not unlike the ‘ Phi losopher’ he is often called ; nooue could take him for a common man.” Now, then, reader, if you do not give us credit for introducing you to the acme of modern biogra phy, we pronounce you the most ungrateful and least discriminating of human beings “ “If Horace Greeley were n flower,” says J. I\, "botanist., would call him single, and examine him with in terest.'’ “He is what the Germans sometimes style ‘ a nature.’ “ And if ,T. B. also were a flow - er, botanists would inevitably pronounce him “a tulip.” He is what, in Scotland, we sometimes call “a natural”—otherwise known as “a lialfling;” or, in vernacular English, a born fool. James Gordon Bennett. That there may be no mistake on the matter, the biographer, in summing up the transcendant rnei its of Mr Bennett near the close of the v«lume, assures ns that the course pursued was perfectly deliberate: “On the sth of May, 1835, he commenced his work of regeneration, by publishing the first num ber ot tin* .\- a York Herald, w hich, till it was es tablished, was conducted with such peculiarities as secured it attention— -peculiarities which seemed to have sprung from a. mind resolved to carryout certain broad personal characteristics, which in them selves furnish the bitterest satire upon the true na ture of political and social life known to the liter ature of any age or country. The course adopted was not btisedon impulse. There is no excuse for it on that ground. It was the fruit of th - most careful, refection, as is proved by the fact that the original prospectus has not been departed from in, any point whatever during a period of twenty years. The original design was to establish a journal which should be independent of all parties, and the injtu ence of which should, be grounded upon its deration to the popular will—a. plan which has found numer ous imitators, and which G the only one suited to satisfy the demands of the public.” Mr. Bennett, who of course “ endorses” these sentiments, is thus, it is evident, as much at ease in his “conscience” with regard to his past con duct as ever, and would, if the thing were to be done over again, do it con a more again. The pop ular will- not Truth or Righteousness; the most sweet voices of the rabble, not the still small voice of tin* man within the breast—that, then, is the creed of this “regenerator” of journalism - Ajatge Satana. The best type of Scottish character is eminently distinguished by force and earnestness; but as a Scotchman, when he is good, is intensely so -a Scotchman, when he sells himself to Chioty, is perhaps of all human beings the most devoted ser - vant of that personage. Scotland, which has pro duced such eminent examples of genius and no bleness iu this century as Thomas Chalmers nnd John Wilson, had the misfortune to give birth also to James Gordon Bennett. Let her not grieve, for the same England that gave birth to John Milton, was the mother likewise of Titus Oates. 25?” Hats! Styles lor Spring, 1856.

GRAY BROTHERS. Up 17 dt*c MELL’S PATENT PLOW STOCK! tgHI E undersigned has invented and patented .M a most valuable improvement in the PLOW STOCK—-the county rights for which he desires to sell. He prefers to let others speak its praise, and therefore introduces the following certificates, from two planters, well and favorably known in the community in which they reside. He might in troduce many others, but the Plow Stock will speak for itself whenever examined. JAMES B. MELL. i Riceboro’, Liberty count v. On. This is to certify that 1 have, with my own hands, thoroughly tested the newly invented Plow Stock of James "B. Mell, Esq. Jn point of simplicity and perfection, 1 have never seen or used its equal. In it is combined every thing that I could wish in a Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest amt the best that has ever been offered to the pub lic, 1 speak from having used it with mv own hands. 1 was raised to follow the plow, and think that I know how one ought to run. f would cheer fully thank any one, who will thoroughly trv it, to point out to me one single fault in it. it is easier upon the horse and the plowman than any that 1 have ever used. The principle upon which you regulate the depth of the Pi..w is si simple, and yet so perfect, as to commend itself to any one; and the Stock is adapt ed to any kind of Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, just as light as any could desire it to be. I would re commend to any and all, if they wish the best and cheapest Plow Stock, without bo. nation to got Mr, James B. Melt's. 1). \V Wilson - . Penfield, Ga., April 15, ls5G. In company with several others, 1, this dav, wit nessed the trial of Mr. Janies B. Moll's Plow Stock, by Mr. D. \V. \\ ilson, and cheerfully state that all present were fully satisfied that it does everything as stated above. I would, moreover, state that i have been using them on my farm for several months, and every day servo,, to confirm me iu the. opinion of the superiority of Mr. Mell’s Plow Stock to all others now in use.
