Col. John B. Lamar.
In our issue ot last week, we were nade the in
: nocent accessory to a literary fraud, for which we
take the earliest opportunity of making atonement.
I nder our miscellaneous head we published an ar
ticle under the title of a “Kentucky Wedding”
. which upon examination we find to have been
■ purloined from the writings of Col. John B. La
, mar, of Macon. The story from which “A Ken
i luck - v 'Jedding” was evidently made up was
written by Col. L., and first appeared in the “ Fam-
L. C bT»"V,' 1,1 Au « ust - 1 -42, under the title
ol I oily Pcahlossom’s Wedding,” which we have
several times read. The article as published bv
us, was selected from the “ Karum VUy Enterprise ”
by our lor urn tenens during our absence, and was
not read by us until after the issue of our paper;
Ihe Story of Polly Peahlossom’s Wedding!” was
i ito' IJIS^e<l m the “ Federal Union,” of 29th Mav
■ is4 ‘ < ’ a copy of which we have before us, and bv
! the two stones, it is evident that “A
Kentucky W edding” is a gross plagarism. The
extractors in the original story resided in Haber- !
sham county, Ga., and the leading events recorded i
1 a r e substantially matters of fact. The borrowed i
I 9t o r > fahs far below the original in point of iuter
! est, on account of the omission of many of the
1 characters and more than half of the narrative,
i 11 appears upon an investigation that the Ken
i tuckian wlio appropriated this production is not
| alone in this iniquity. It seems the same story
was hashed up in a Missouri paper last year, and
copied no doubt innocently,. in the Athens “ Ban
j '}*/■; and two years ago an Illinois paper served
| D fhc same wav. We make this explanation in
; justice to Col. Lamar, and to place ourselves right
1 before the reading community. Col. L. has long
since earned an enviable reputation as a literarv
i author. The productions of his pen have given
interest and reputation to several of the public
journals of our State, and we deem it liighfv un
! just and ungenerous on the part of otliers to ap
j nropriate Ins property to their own use, without
! hi* consent. Other depredations of a similar char
: a ter have been made upon the productions of this
! author s pen, as appears from the subjoined ex
; tract trom the Savannah ‘‘Journal <f- Courier” of
March 6th, 1855:
the experience ok the black smith ok the
MOUNTAIN PASS.
i Dur readers will recollect the account of Col.
Quagg s Conversion, published bv us last week,
and credited D. Dickcn’s ll' n/e. The
! storv sounded strangely familiar. We felt con
i fiflent that it was of Georgia origin, though unable
iJ® ( ‘ x * ts authorship. A correspondent, for whose
! kindness we are much indebted, has shown that
; our impression was well founded by forwarding
ihe orignal in the September number of the
| “Family < umpmion' for 1852—edited bv Mrs
i ™rah Lawrence Griffin, and published in Macon.
, \\ e copy it to-day under the title given to it by its
author, viz: “The Erperil net of the Black Smith
| of the Mountain Baer. " After its perusal no read
ier need be told that Mr. Dickens iur hiscontribu
; tor) has committed a piece of outrageous pla.
! giaristn. Our correspondent informs us, nor can:
there he any doubt of the truth of his statement
that the author is John B. Lamar, Esq., of Macon!
\\ e take pleasure in placing the fact upon record,
and restoring to tlie brow of an accomplished
Georgian, the laurels won by liis pen. The reader
will he pleased to observe that the slurs upon
earnest religious feeling in the account of “Col.
Quagg s (’onversion, slurs which disgrace nearly
all of Dickens’ novels—find no place in the story
as it came from the pen of Mr. Lamar.
In the preceding remarks, we do not wish to be
understood as fixing upon any individual in par
ticular, the guilt of the charge specified. We
doubt not that others, like ourself, have unwitting
ly been accessory to the facts stated. The origina
t»r of the fraud is the person to whom our remarks
are intended to apply, and none others.
'J’he Scene in the Senate.
In the whole history of the legislation of Con
gress a day of greater violence and more excite
ment than yesterday was, is unknown. The two
days speech of Senator Sumner, we are pained to
say, was little more that a tissue of personal accu
sation and assault, and charges against all his op
ponents without the slightest effort to sustain their
truth other than by here and there citing a news
paper paragraph penned in malice and for the ex
press purpose of deceiving the public. Such was
the substance of Mr. Sumner’s violent harangue,
which was of course interlarded with classical al
lusions ; many of them dragged in bv the ears, as
it wen-, into unappropriate connections. His per
sona! vindication and abuse of Senator Butler, than
whom a mere considerate and higher toned gentle
man never graced a seat in the national councils,
caused a blush of shame to mantle the cheeks oi
all present who respect ihe character of the bodv
before whom it was uttered ; because it was whol
ly unjust and untrue, and, in a style, far better
suited to some low doggery in a region of country
wherein billingsgate is uttered with impunity, be
cause it is not customary there to resent and pun
ish such language personally. Senator Douglas of
course came in fora due share of the choice epi
thents which the graceful Senator from Massachu
setts showered around with volubility that would
have graced the foulest mouthed fishwoman in all
Lor.lon. His reply, as well as those of Senators
Mason and Cass, were marked with much more
moderation of temper than we dreamed either of
them could command under such circumstances.
D was made vet v clear to us that no other man
who ever served in either branch of Congress
could “hold a candle” to Senator Stunner in the
elegant, dignified and respectable work of “ sling
ing slush.” IT inyton Star, May 21.
It made him fee! Independent.
A man named Porter says he once had a clerical
friend between whom and himself there existed
great intimacy.
Every Saturday night as Porter was silling bal
ancing ids cash, a note would come requesting
“the ! •an ot a five dollar bill!” The money was
always returned punctually at o’clock oil Mon
day morning. But what puzzled the lender was,
the Parson aliraye returned the very identical MB he
bon owed. Since he had discovered this fact tie
had made private marks on the note; still Ihe
same was handed back on Monday morning. One
Saturday evening Porter sent a five dollar gold
piece, instead of a note, and marked it. Still the
very same coin was returned on Monday. Porter
got nervous and bilious about it ; he could not
sleep at night for thinking of it; lie would wake
his wife in the middle of the night and ask her
what Ac thought of such a strange occurrence, lie
was fast boiling over with curiosity, when a note
came from the reverend borrower, one Christmas
eve, asking for the loan of ten dollars. A brilliant
thought struck our friend. He put on los great
coat, resolving to call and demand an explanation
of the mystery.
AViien lie was shown into his friend’s study, he
found him plunged into the profoundest melan
choly.
“.Mi . Maid our friend, “if you will an
swer me one question I will let you have the ten
dollars.”
“How does it happen that vim always repay me
money von borrow on Saturday night in the very i
same coin or note on Monday morning V”
The parson raised his head, and after a violent
struggle, as though lie were about to unveil the
| hoaided mystery of bis son, said, in faltering
! tones, “Porter, von are a gentleman and scholar;
a Christian and a New Yorker—l know 1 can rely
j on your inviolable secresy—listen to the secret of
j ray eloquence. You know that 1 am poor, and
• .viien 1 hue lm Sunday dinner, T have seldom a
red eeut left in my pocket. Now, i maintain that
no man can preach the Gospel and blow up his
j congregation properly without lie has got somc
! thing in his pocket to’inspire him with confidence,
j I have, therefore, borrowed of you every Satur-
I day that 1 might feel it occasionally as I preached
1 uu Sunday. You know how independently I do
| preach how I make the rich shake in their shoes;
i well, it is all owing to my knowing that I have a
i five dollar bill in my pocket! Os course, never
• having to use it for any other purpose, it is not
1 changed, but invariably returned to you the next
morning. Sow, as Mr. Ueorge Law is coming to
bear me preach to-morrow. I thought I would
j try tl.e fleet of a ten dollar •*i-rrn• oi on him!
SuKf, ViNti The (otkuMHg modrtit »> lad
j from a friend who knew tlie party . llcilCOH (.otli* ,
| stock, of Hartford, Conn., is well’known as being
: provided with an enormous handle to his counte
i nance, in the shape of a huge nose ; in fact it is
remarkable for its great length. On a late oeca
! sion, when taking up a collection in the church to
wlii-li the deacon belong, as he passed through ihe
congregation every person hi whom he presented •
the bag seemed to be possessed by a sudden and
uncontrollable desire to laugh. The deacon did
| not know what to make of it. He had often pass- j
ed round before, but no such effects as these had
he ever before witnessed. The deacon was fairly j
I puzzled. The secret, however, leaked out. He
ha,! been afflicted for a day or two with a sore on j
. liis nasal appendage, and had placed a small piece \
iof sticking’ plaster over it. During the morning
of the dav in question tlie plaster had dropped off.
. and the deacon seeing it as he supposed on the
floor, picked it up and stuck it on again. But
■ alas for men who sometimes make great mistakes,
' ; he picked up instead one of those pieces of paper
! which the manufacturers of spool cotton paste on
L the end of every spool, and which read : “ '' ar
-1 ranted to hold out two hundred yards.” Such a
sigu on such a nose was enough to upset thegrnvi
. tv of even a puritan congregation.

The Frigate Savannah.
i We published some reference to the following,
, | we think, some days ago, but we extract this from
the Rio Janeiro correspondent of the New York
■ | JferulJ, of April Bth. The Savannah is a fifty gun
ship, of the Brazil squadron, and commanded bv
: j. M. Berrien :
l The United States sliip-of-war Savannah has
been stationed here for some little time, as a pro
| lection to American interest and enterprise. She
has lately taken her departure for Montevideo, to
j k lvc her crew a short relief from monotonous la-
I hor; hut she will doubtless soon return, as she is
. useful here, as will be seen by the following inci
i dent which occurred in this port but a short time
: ago: It seems a report was spread abroad, bv a
! runaway officer, that i certain American ship an
chored here, was secretly armed, and hound for
the coast of Africa as a slaver. On this reaching
the ears of the commander of the Savannah, search
was immediately instituted by that officer, and the
| report pronounced to be false and unproven,
i But all this did not satisfy the inquisitiveness of
; 'he commander of a British sloop-of-war, also '
stationed here, who not taking the word of the !
American officer, obstinately attempted to board
and examine tor himself. Tlie American captain !
refused to submit to this insult, and threw himself '
upon the protection of the Savauuah, whose com
mander directly and positively refused to allow the
British officer to place his foot .upon her deck.
High words ensued, and the vessel putting to sea
the next day, the English battle ship followed close
in her wake, with the intention, as the commodore
declared, of boarding her, and demanding the
captain’s manifest, papers, &c. As soon as she
was out of the rauge of the “Sugar Loaf,” the
gallant commander of the Savannah, hearing this !
and discovering the British ship the next day put
ting her head towards the sea, immediately put
“up helm” and closely followed. Upon seeing ;
which the British officer—knowing a conflict would
very naturally ensue if lie still persisted in his ;
unjust endeavors—quietly and peacefully put his
helm hard down, and quickly returned. The com- |
mander of the Yankee ship not having any further 1
reason for pursuing an outward course, also im
mediately returned. Upon arriving again in the I
harbor, the Brazilian ships of war stationed here,
also the guard boats and the f<Vt Santa Ortiz, fired 1
a deafening salute, and the American flag was !
unfurled to the breeze from the high masthead of
eaodi ship, in honor of American independence j
and resolute action. Had it not been for this de- !
termination on the part of one of our armed ves- j
sels, another outrage would have been added to 1
the many indignities offered by John Bull to the j
Americans.
ZW Lord Clarendon, in his last letter to Mr.
MAliev, dated April 30, reviews, fully, all the evi
dences against the British Minister and Consuls,
implicating them in violations of our neutrality
laws. The testimony brought forward against
her Majesty’s officials, Lord Clarendon considers,
were prejudiced or bribed by the Russian emissa
ries in this country, for the purpose of involving
England and the United States in trouble. He !
thus concludes:
“ The undersigned lias now had the satisfaction
of communicating to the Government of the United
."Slates the statements and declarations of Her
Majesty\s Ministers at Washington, and of Her
Majesty’s Consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia and
New \ ork, as to the conduct imputed 10 them.
The Government of the United States had been
led to suppose the law and sovereign rights of the !
United States had not been respected bv Her j
Majesty’s Government, and relying upon evidence
they deemed to he trustworthy, they believed that |
the law and those rights had been infringed by j
British agents. It such had been the case, the 1
Government of the United States would have been I
entitled to demand, and Her Majesty’s Government
would not have hesitated to afford.'tlie most ample j
satisfaction, for no discredit can attach to the I
trank admission and complete reparation of an ;
unquestionable wrong. Her Majesty’s Govern- !
ment unequivocally disclaim am intention either j
to infringe the law' or to disregard the policy, or !
not to respect the sovereign rights of the United :
States, and the Government of tin* United States
will now, for the first time, learn that Her Majes
ty''. Minister at Washington, and Her Majesty’s
Consuls at New York, Philadelphia and Cincin
nati, solemnly affirm (hat they have not committed
any of the acts that have been imputed to them, j
“The Government of the United States will
now also for the first tune have an opportunity of
weiehing the declarations of four gentlemen of
unimpeached honor and integrity, against evi- j
deip-e uiiiiii which no reliance ought to he placed.
The unoersigiKKl cannot but express as the earn- :
est hope of Her Majesty’s Government, that these i
explanations and assurances may prove satisfac
tory to the Government of the United States, and
e(lactually remove any misapprehensions which
may have hitherto existed, and we cannot doubt ;
but that such a result will afford as much idea
sure to the Government of the United States as
to that of Her Majesty -by putting an end to the
difference which has been deeply regretted by
het .Majesty’s Government, for there are no two
countries which are bound by stronger ties and bv
higher considerations than the United States anil
Great Britain to maintain unbroken the relations
of perfect cordiality mid fric> dship.

We lliink our reader- will agiec with tis that the
Hon. Mr. Boce.ek gave Mr. limy Wini.-r Davis a
pill which he was unable very comfortably to swal
low . In oilier words, we are of the opinion that,
tin honorable gentleman was effectually used !
Here is the extract :
Mr. Davis I have never thought that Jefferson ;
was the safest guide in construing the Constitu
tion of the United States, nor in tin* administra
tion of laws.
Mr. Giddings. There is where the gentleman
and 1 differ.
Mr. lJat is.—-I understand it. That is the foun
dation ot our difference. He was the higher-law
man of bis day—a doctrine then modified and
limited, and not to the extent to which it has now j
gone, because that doctrine, like other noxious
weeds, grows from year to year. He laid the foun
dation for disregarding a law which lie thought to |
be unconstitutional, although the tribunals of the •
country had said that it was the law, and ought to
he executed.
Mr. Boeock. In what particular did Mr. Jeffer
son do so, and what evidence did Me. Jefferson
give that lie was a higher-law mail ! The case al
luded to by the gentleman from Ohio was a sim
ple exercise of the pardoning power.
Mr. Davis—lt was an adroit contrivance to reach
the object through the forms of law. It was a re
fusal to execute a law which lie was bound to ex
ecute. lie ought to have exercised his power, not
upon the supposition that every man who came
wnhiu the law was to be pardoned, but as a pre
rogative of inerev applied to each particular ease.
Mr. Bocock—One word more. 1 know the gen
tleman from Maryland is disposed to take a fair
and candid view of the subject.
Mr. Davis—l trust so. I always am.
Mr. Bocock- 1 know that the rule which he
would apply to Mr Jefferson, ho would apply to
any political friend of his own. Now, sir, (lie ease
which lias been brought up by the gentleman from
Ohio was but the exercise of ihe pardoning power
by Mr. Jefferson ; and my friend from Maryland
comes forward and says it was an adroit piece of
tactics to avoid executing the law. How will that
apply to a friend of la- own 1 think the gentle
man from Maryland will hear in mind that two
men by the names of Drayton and Sayres were
under sentence of the law for a violation of a law
of this District, in carrying off slaves to the North
with a view to set them free. While in prison,
Mr. Fillmore pardoned them out. Was that an
adroit device to get rid of enforcing the law *

He att Damages.— An Ex-Recorder of the city
: of Xew Orleans lately sued the Crescent of that
j city for libel. The jury returned a verdict tor
; plaintiff giving him the amount of one cent dam
ages. The Crescent, after announcing the verdict
consoles itself as follows :
! “We are in funds. Several amounts have been
; contributed by sympathing friends, to enable us
to meet the terrific judgment obtained against us
A bewitching, saucy little gipsy—bright, bloom
mg, and full of mischief—presented us yesterday
with a degree of ceremony that would have added
grace to a coronation, a costly and elaborately
“fixed up’’ envelope. We opened it. and found
attached to two white and red ribbons, one of the
ugliest, oldest, and worst battered cents we ever
saw ! A merry laugh rang through our sanctum
and the gipsy disappeared before we had an op
portunity to exact the penalty clue.”
“ My dear,” said an affectionate wife to her hus
band, who had been sick for several days, “when
you were well, you were in the habit of eatiug
twelve apple-dumplings; now that von are siclT
how many shall I make you ?”
“ Well,” replied the husband, “I reckon you
may make eleven to-day.' but be particular and
make them a little larger than usual.”
The wife obeyed.
When the husband had eaten the eleven, with
the exception of half a one, his lit tie son, a lad of ;
two summers, came up to him and said,
“ Daddy, give me a little piece.”
“Go away, sonny,” replied the father, “vour !
poor dad’s sick.”
A good kind of soul, accustomed to make “six
mile prayers,” had over-persuaded a guest, much
against his inclination, to stay to breakfast. The
old man prayed and prayed, till his impatient
j guest began to think seriously of edging a wav
1 quietly, but, in attempting it, waked up the man’s
j son, who was in his chair.
“ How soon will your father be through?” whis-
I pered the guest.
i “ Don’t know,” said the boy, “ has he got to the
Jews yet ?”
“ No,” said the other.
“ \\ ell, then, he aint half through,” said the boy,
■ and composed himself again to his wonted nan'
| The guest bolted. 1 ‘
j A traveller domiciling at a hotel, exclaimed to
' the waiter: “What are you about you black ras-
I cal? \on have roused me twice from my sleep br
tolling me breakfast is ready, and now you are at
tempting to strip off the bed-clothes.' What do
you mean ?”
“Why, replied Pompey, “if you isn’t a going
to get up, I must hare the siieet anyhow, cause
dey’re wailing for rtojtable cloff” ‘

BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.
OPINION OF A PHYSICIAN.
& PHYSICIAN in Southern Georgia, (De- j
ta catur county ) of extensive practice and expe
i l ienee, spraking of “ BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REM
EDY,’’ and from personal experience with its eura
| tive properties, writes to the proprietor: *• I think
; the sale of vour Remedy in this section of country
will be immense." It is gratifying to the proprie
-1 tor of the “ Dyspeptic Remedy" in this, as in nit
: merous other instances, to have his statement to |
j the public, regarding his new preparation, so sane
tinned and verified by members of high standing !
I in the profession. lie lut> thus far abstained from
the hackneyed path of producing in the columns of
a newspaper the sworn testimonials of the benefit
i ted by bis prescription. Vet it would give him un
i alloyed pleasure to allied (lie afflicted, (from Dys
-1 pepsin), the assurances which he is daily receiving
; of the prompt, unfailing success which, in evet v
j instance, when due regard is paid to the treatment,
I attends the taking of his medicine.
That there is no possibility of failure in producing
a speedy and permanent cure of Dyspepsia, even
i in cases of long standing, by the “Dyspeptic
Remedy," is the universal opinion in sections of
the South and West, where it has been extensively
i tested. Resting upon its growing popularity, the
j proprietor might content himself with the present
| and prospective success which augurs so favorably
i this medicine’s attaining ; a reputation and use !
! more extensive than any other preparation that has
been submitted to the public in a popular form,

of Thomas Gumming, deceased, to wit:
Four unimproved Lots on the North sid of Rey
nold street, just below Washington street, each

Also, the three unimproved Lots above referred
to, bounded north by Bay street, on which each of
them has a front of about forty-two feel four inches,
extending back one hundred and seventy-seven
and a half <177}4) feet to the alley above mention
ed, by which they are bounded on the south, with
the right of way in common with the four lots
above described, through the three alleys mention
ed in the description ol said lots. The said seven
| lots (four on Reynold and three on Bay streets),
j and the alleys therewith connected, occupy the
1 ground known as the old Eagle Tavern Lot.
Also, two lots of Land in the village of Sum-
I merville, of which one, fronting on Milledge street j

tains about six (6) acres; and the other fronting j
on Cumming street, adjoining the last mentioned

tains four acres, more or less.
Also, about forty lots, suitable for buildings, laid
out on a tract of land adjoining, on the West, the
village of Summerville ; bounded South, in part, j
by the Summerville Plank road, in part by a road -
running between said tract and the United States

son and others; West by a road about seventy feet

North by a roadway thirty-three feet wide, separa
ting it from lands of Messrs. Fitten, McKee, Ans
ley, and others. The U. S. Arsenal, opposite the
eastern portion of the lots referred to, is about two
miles from the western boundary of the city of
: Augusta, and the road dividing them from' the
| Government laud is, opposite the Arsenal build- i
ings, about three hundred feet higher than the Citv i
Hall lot.
A plan of these lots may be seen at the Post
Office and at the office of H. H. Cumming, in Law j
Range.
Also, a tract of Pine Land containing about j
Fifty Acres, commonly called the “ Quarry |
Tract,” ou which is a valuable quarry of White

The Executors, while offering the property
and the Lots above designated, may, previous to
the sale, for the interest of the Estate or the con
venience of purchasers, make some change in the
parcels offered, by throwing together portions now
separated—sul dividing others how offered entire,
or modifying ihe subdivisions above mentioned.
Distinct plans of the Lots, as offered, will be
prepared and ready for examination before and at
time of sale.
Those who may examine the four lots on Rey
nold street above advertised, will observe that a
portion of the side walk in front of them is now
occupied by a track of the South Carolina Rail
road. The Executors hereby give notice that this
encroachment was made without any admitted au
thoritv; without the consent of either of the Exe
cutors then representing the estate, and under the
forma! written protest of one of them, now spread
upon the minutes of the City Council of Augusta,
to which all interested are referred. To the pur
chasers will be transferred, with the property, all
the right of the present owners to require the re
moval of this nuisance.

At Thomson , Georgia.
TIHE undersigned having permanently located
us Teachers, respectfully solicit the patronage
of their friends and the public generally. From
Several years experience in teaeTiing, and a con
stant attention to the duiics of their profession,
they flatter themselves that the system of instruc’
tion which they are now picp.-nod to give Students
pursuing a regular classical course, cannot be sur
passed by any similar Institution in the State. To
parents, therefore, designing to give their sons a
Collegiate education, their services are especially
tendered, since a thorough acquaintance with the
preparatory studies is indispensable to the Stu
dent’s progress throughout his whole course. Their
Academy Pupils will be prepared to enter the high
er classes ot College, or if preferred, thoroughly
nstructed in a more practical and business course
The accessibility, health and quietness of their
location —its freedom from scenes and causes of
dissipation—induce them to hope-for a continuance
>f that liberal patronage, which for many years
hey have not failed to secure.
A strict regard will be paid to moral training,
and the general deportment of each pupil earofulh
observed.
The Academies for the Male and Female pupils
are separate—also, their Boarding Houses, while
the government, disciple,e, course of studies, Ac ,

supervision of the Principal.
