Hon. Preston S. ilrooks.
The notoriety which a recent act of this gentle
man has given him will make it desirable to knoiv
something of him. As I have known him since 1
was a boy, and have been one of his constituents
and special friends, I will give you a brief history
of his life.
lie is tho eldest son of YY'hitliehl Brooks, a
prominent citizen of Edgefield District, South
Carolina, who was a candidate for Congress in j
1841, against the Honorable A. Burt, who was elec
ted and served until 1852. In lst2, while lie was !
a youth of nineteen years of age, ill the South j
Carolina College, his father was challenged to 1
fight a duel bv Louis T. YY’igfal, now of Texas. In
consequence of his age, the father declined the j
challenge, and was posted by Colonel YVigfall at !
Edgefield Court House. A young man by the ]
name of Bird, a nephew of the elder Brooks, tore !
down the posting, and was killed by' YVigfall in
the tight that ensued. P. S. Brooks, then nine
teen years old, as soon as he heard of it, hastened
home and challenged YVigfall. Thev fought, and
both were dangerously wounded —YVigfall having i
both thighs shot through and one broken, from j
j which he is lame to this day. Brooks was shot
! through at the top of the thigh, and his spine was ]
| grazed, and his life long considered doubtful.
He is a lawyer, but having an easy fortune, he
never pursued His profession, but became a scien
tific and successful planter.
In 1846, he raised, in Edgefield District, one of*
the companies that composed the Palmetto Ilegi- 1
ment, and served as captain through the Mexican I
war. In 1853, a vacancy occurred in his Congres j
siona! district, by the retirement of Mr. Burt, and
] he entered the field as a candidate. There were ■
| three other candidates, one of whom was Francis
YY". Pickens, a former Representative from the :
same district, and a very popular and distinguish- i
ed man. Notwithstanding the greatest advantages
arising from having distinguished competitors— !
having a competitor, Mr. Pickeus, in his own conn- j
: tv — and having taken little part in politics or pub- i
] lie life before that time, he was elected by a ma- |
] jority of over six hundred over his highest corn- j
j peiitor.
j The readiness of his wit, tho brilliancy and ;
I point of his conversation, and the winningness of i
! his manners, delighted and won the hearts of the ]
I people. I have never known a man whose tact I
j and intuitive knowledge of mankind was equal to
| his. I have seen him thrown unexpectedly into a j
j crowd of a half dozen persons of different char- |
■ actor none of whom he saiv before. A rapid
j glauce at them assured hint of each man’s cliarac
j ter, and in five minutes he has struck the right I
| chord upon each mau’ii heart, and he has gained ;
] six votes in live minutes. To this was owing his
triumphant, and to those who did not know
his powers, astounding success. Knowing him
well, and his capacity, 1 was certain of his success, j
and I caused a considerable depletion of the pock- ,
ets of those of different faith.
In 1854, he was again elected by more than three
thousand majority, over an able competitor. He i
now has his seat secure, and will not have opposi- j
tiou again.
In person he is tall ami commanding, standing
six feet in his stocking, is a brunette, and remark
ably .handsome, lie is very elegant and polite,
and is an immense favorite with the ladies. In
declamation he is dignified, earnest and emphatic,
speaks rapidly and with animation. A recent
speech ot his in Congress in behalf of Mrs. Till
| man has recently been extensively published as a :
model of beauty and touching eloquence. He is
j now about thirty-three years of age. He studied
very little in College, nor did he improve in this
; respect for many years afterwards. He is ambi
tious, and this has made him studious of late years.
He has strong and versatile mental powers, and
i promises great ability in future. His courage has
| often been tried, and is equal to all exigencies. He
I has great sagacity, and considers well the conse
quences of any act before doing it. He knew that
; his attack upon Sumner would suit the temper of
’ his constituents. Bkx. Link.
E.normoi s Fratu— s]iiii,ooo involved. The
particulars of a fraud involving property to the ;
amount of *IOO,OOO, perpetrated upon an aged I
gentleman, named James Garvie, residing at Glen i
Cove, L. 1., have recently been brought to light.
The alleged perpetrator is Wm. 8. Hanna, a car
penter, living in the third story of No. lo;3 Lewis
street, and an old acquaintance of Mr. Garvie. ll
is stated that Hanna, about four weeks ago, in- ;
Juced Mr. G. to visit him and remain at his bouse
while in this city; that after getting him in the j
! house he plied him with drugged liquor day after j
Jay for four weeks, thus keeping Ins mind m an
•blivious state ; that during this time he persuaded
the (dd man to sign a power of attorney giving i
j him authority to act for him; that by virtue of ;
this instrument Hanna collected money from John
i Lafarge on a claim of #1,500. He also obtained
from Justice Anderson, Garvie's counsel, a deed i
; f or two houses and lois, also a note for #2,!>00 I
i from Judge Anderson. Resides this power of at
torney. Garvie gave Hanna a bill of sale for tlie
sloop Freedom, "worth #1,250. Also a bill of sale
for an interest in the bark J. Mall, now at sea.
Also a lease of one hundred and thirty-five acres
of land at Glen Cove, 1., 1., together>itli the
stock, tools, Ac., on the place, valued at $10,000;
! and to crown all, lie got the old man to make a
J will in favor of his (Hanna’s) daughter and ap
' pointing bun executor. All this being accomplish
ed, and property to the value of about sloij.oeo,
haing been transferred to Hanna, he extorted
from Mr. Garvic a promise that he would go to
sea. The unfortunate victim was allowed by some
mistake to got sober, and a warrant lor the arrest
• : the latter was issued, and on Sunday he was
captured by the Eleventh Ward Police and locked
up in default of *r>,oon. —_V, <r York Tribune.
The character of the voting men of a communi
ty depends much on that of the young women. If
the hitter are cultivated, intelligent and accom
plished, the young men will feel the requirement 1
that they themselves should be upright, gentle- i
manly and refined ; but if tlieir female friends art
frivolous and silly, the young men will be found
to be dissipated and worthless. But remember,
a'ways, that a sister is the best guardian of a broth
er's integrity. She is the surest inculcator of a
faith in woman’s purity. As a daughter, she is
the true light of the home. The pride of the fa
ther oftcuest is centered on his daughter. She
should, therefore, be the sum and substance of all.

“The Agony Over.” Such was the announce
ment which our wool-gathering wits of the At- n
-1 lug Post placed on their bulletin when the light
ning of the telegraph and the thunder of the eau
: non told the citizens of New York that the great
living statesman of the old school, James Bivhaxan,
| was presented for their suffrages ns President. But
the announcement is untrue. 2’h- uiiinty if not over:
' it has but just begun for the Black Republicans,
the Abolitionists, and the Fillmoreites, who com
mence to run their John Gilpin race for the White
House—beginning ball-mounted, losing, as they
! proceed, hats, wigs, and coats, breaking their
. wine-bottles, and being laughed at by all the idlers
at the Presidential fair. As for other calamities,
I the like of which they must undergo, let them
; overhaul Cowper's ballad, ‘‘and, when found,
i make a note on’t.”
Supreme Court Decisions.
We are indebted to the columns of the Savannah
/ it/iuUiean , of yesterday, for the following:
Minute of derided hy th< Supreme Court of
Georgia, nt S-toannah, June Term, 1850.
Shields r.v. The Mayor, Ac., from Chatham. 1.
Under the ordinance of the City of Savannah re
quiring owners of uuteuantedor unoccupied houses
to have the same ventilated at certain seasons:
Held, that if the house is leased to a tenant, al
though unoccupied, the tenant and not the owner,
j is untenable to the penalty for a violation of the
ordinance. Dawson, for plaintiff in error; no ap
pearance for defendant in error.
Jiafe (a slave) m. The State -From Liberty.
1. The act of 1858, proscribing the mode of se
lecting Jurors in criminal cases, is not in violation
| of that clause of the Constitution prescribing that
“trial bv jury as heretofore used shall remain in
violate.”
2. The fact that the jury lists, when made out as
prescribed by law, were not transmitted to the
j Superior Court, but were immediately placed in
the jury-box, is not a good cause of challenge to
j the array.
Confessions of a slave, voluntarily made to
the arresting officer, are admissable in evidence.
Milieu and Wilson for Plaintiff in Krror.
Sol. Gen. Hartrit lge for Defendant in Krror
\ I.esaoN from riiE Birds, A gentleman ob
j served in a thicket of bushes near his dwelling a
. | collection of brown thrushes, who for several days
| attracted his attention by their loud cries and
strange movements. At length curiosity was so
. much excited that he determined to see if he could
ascertain the cause of the excitement among them.
On examining the bushes he found a female
thrush whose* wing was caught in a limb in suchu
way that she coultl not escape. Near bv was her
nest, containing several halt' grown birds. On
\ retiring a little distance a company <>t‘ thrushes
i appeared with worms and other insects in their
months, which they gave first to the mother and
then to the young; she the meanwhile cheering
j them in their labor of love with a song of graft- j
j tilde.
After watching the interesting scene nutil curi- !
osity was satisfied, the gentleman released the poor j
i bird, when she tlew to her nest with a grateful !
song to her deliverer, and her charitable neigh- !
j hors dispersed to their usual abodes, singing as
they went, a song of joy.

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
The Empire State of the South still ahead in her
Improvements.
6BTIIIS article « ity compare favora
■ blv with any of like character
in the known world.
I find that by putting it in tlie form ijjTWfBY
of a Soap it gives it a decided advun |IKHI|
tuge over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
or Ointment that can he made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, ami
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, King and Tetter Worm, Piles,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvv, Son-
Eyes, Rone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentrince to the teeth. For.shaving soap,
it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of nil the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
1 can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like hnmbuggerv, 1
' leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
. doubting they will then declare this to be tbe n*
, ! plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
