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.

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. i BLINDS, DOORS AND SASH GLAZED 1 8 1I ADE of Northern AYhite Pine—strong, light ’• -T l and cheap.

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.

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.

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 !

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, j but lie desires, knowing from sad experience what : the suthrings of the Dyspeptic are, to afford hint j or her not only temporary relief, hut tie* assurance j and hulizntion of a permanent cure.
