Superior Court.— Saturday, June 23. Judge Gibson presiding: In the case of Baker & Caswell vs. Linton and Doughty some time was consumed In con sideration by the jury without any probability of agreement, when a consent verdict was agreed upon by the litigauts. We congratulate the gentlemen upon the fact. A second verdict was taken in the divorce ease of Trader vs. Trader. Divorce granted a vinculo matrimonii to plain tiff. The Grand Jury was then fully discharged, and the Court adjourned until Monday, at which time the motion docket will be Uiken up. Ad journed term in September. Charles W. W.

Hilliard, for plaintiff; Hook A Carr for defendants. This case came into court Wednesday morn ing, before Judge Gibson, and is noticeable from the fact that one ot the pleas made in de fense was, that, in July, 1864, the negro was no longer property , by reason of the operation of the proclamation of emancipation by President Lincoln, which took effect Jauuary Ist, 1863. ft was ably argued by defendant’s attorney, Judge Hook, that the court aud the jury hav ing taken the amnesty oath, wherein they solemuly swear to “ abide by and faithlully sup port ” that proclamation, they were bound to find for the defendants. The Court ruled, and so charged the jury, that the proclamation did not take effect in this State until after the emancipation declared by the Georgia Convention in November, 1805. The case then went to tho jury upon the evidence of facts,-independent of this pleA, and the jury failing to agree upon a vei diet, were discharged and a rais-trlal entered. The Charleston Duel.— We have publish ed the telegraphic account of au affair of honor which took place about two o’clock Wednesday afternoon, at the locality known as Haleb’s Avenue, a short distance above Charleston, be tween Mr. Theodore G. Boag and Mr. Edward Roe, formerly a resident of Columbia. The Courier of yesterday says : Mr. Roc received a wound in the right side, which resulted in his death about six o’clock in the evening. Mr. Boag surrendered himself to the civil authori ties immediately aft"r the transaction, but was afterwards taken into the custody of the Pro vost Marshal. A hearing of the case prior to the receipt of information of the death of Mr. Roe resulted in Mr. Boag being remanded to the custody of the civil authorities. The body of Mr. Roe was brought to the Roper Hospi tal, where an inquest will be held this morn ing. Give ’em Rope.—Attorney General Stan bery's latest opinion, a telegraphic abstract of which we published, Bays the Louisvile Journal, yesterday,' will be apt to bring about a July session of Congress; for wc suppose that the Radical leaders will hardiy acquiesce in his con struction of the militaryJhct. It, indeed, is not exactly the entertainment to which they invited the South; and, being the masters of the (east, they no doubt will have the table set anew, under the direction of their own Butler. Let them go ahead. All they want to bang them selves is a little more rope ; and a July session will supply it. The South can afford to view the contingency with perfect complacency. The Mean Whites.—A* few, says the Rich mond Enquirer , have been false to nature’s in stincts. A few whites have united to inflame the negroes, and to head their movement; but it has been for ojlce which they hoped thus to clutch for themselves. We will not defile these lines with their names. Venal conspira tors against the Commouwealth, and traitors to their race—the salaries and stealings and titles of office, will be a poor reward for the shame that boys them.- - - Reqistbatiok.— Mr. W. H. McWhorter noti fies the Greensboro Herald that the Board of Registers for the nineteenth district will be at Warrenton, June 24th and 25th. Crawfordsville, Juue 86th and 27th.

Headquarters Third Militart District, > Atlanta, Ga., June 17,1867. $ In addition to the General instructions for the guidance of Boards of Registration for the Buies of Georgia, Florida and Alabama, pro mulgated June 1, 1867, the following rules of construction will be followed by the Boards of Registration in the State of Georgia, in carrying out the provisions of the First Section or the Supplementary Act of Congress. [Bee page 5 Instruction*.] I. Persons entitled to Registration on taking and subscribing the Oath (page 5) are: Ait male citizens o! the United Butes twenty one years of age and npward, of whatever race, color or previous condition, who have been re sident of the Bute for one year immediately preceding, and are exempt from the disqualifi cations hereinafter described. 11. Persons Bot entitled to Registration and incapable of taking the Oath (page 5), are those who have been disqualified as follows: First. Those who were at any time Members ofCougress or Officers of the United Btates, Civil or Military, and ns such Officers, took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States; and all who were at any t'me members of any Staie Legislature, or of any body that passed a Suite Ordiuanee of Secession, or Exe eui.ve or Judicial Officers of auy Bute, and qfierwards engaged in insurreettou or rebeH.cn again* the Un ted State*, or gave aid and com fort to the enemies thereof. It will be noticed that tbc word, “at auy time,” apply to all who, at any time previous to •he rebellion, held any of the offices named” ►oine of which offices ut> longer exist. The following wi ! be regarded as Executive and Judicial officers es the Stale of Georgia within the meaning of the law : Governor ot the* State; Secretary of State; State Treasurer; Comptroller General; Sur veyor General; Judges of the Supreme Court; Clerks of the Supreme Court; Reporters of the Supreme Cunt; Judges of the Superior Court; Cleiksof the Superior Court; Judge* of the Interior Court; Clerks of the Inferior Court; Judges usually styled Ordinaries; Clerks of the Court of Ordinary; County Treasurer; County Surveyor; Receivers of Returns ol Taxable Property; Tax Collectors; Tax Re ceivers; Attorney Geueral; Solicitor General; Sheriff's; Justices of the Peace; Coroners; Judges of any Court of special jurisdiction, such as City Court of Auirusta, City Court ol Savannah, City Court of Darien, Police Court of Savannah, etc.; and Mayor , Recorder , Aider men. Councilmen of any incorporated city or town who are ex-officio Justices. Second. Tax Receivers aud Tar Collectors who have acted iu levying or collecting moneys in aid of the rebellion. Third. Any Judieial or Executive office not herein named, who has exercised his official Junctions in furnishing men, money, munitions ot war, or any material aid in favor of the re bellion. Fourth. Those persons who have been con victed of felony agaiust the laws of any State or of the United States. Fifth. All Executive or Judicial officers who held or exercised the functions of any officer under the so-called Confederate Government, or the Government of any one of the United States, wbleh functions were of a nature to aid in prosecuting the war or in aiding hostile pre paration or action, and all who engaged in the rebellion or gave aid and comfort the enemies ol the Uuited States. Bixtb. Those Executive or Judicial officers who voluntarily Ittrnish supplies of food, cloth iug, arms, ammunition, animals, or any other material of war, or labor, or service ot any kind, to the Confederate Military or Naval forces, or money by loan or otherwise to the Confederate Government, or aided in any way the raising, organizing or equipment of troops, gave aid and comfort to the enemy, and partici pated in the rebellion aud civil war against the Uuited States. 111. Ministering to the wants of the sick and wounded, or giving individual soldiers food to relieve present suffering, are merely acts of charity, and do not constitute “ giving aid and comfort to the enemy.” The parent who gave a son, in armed hostility, food and clothing for his own use, might do so without hostile in tent. If he gave him a horse, gun or anything else to be used for hostile purpose, he thereby gave aid and comfort the the enemy. IV. Boards of Registration will adhere strict ly to directions published in Genera] Order No. 30.

Meline, Bvt. Col. General Inspector of Registration, 3d Military, District. . *►*. ' How Radical United States Senators are Elected. —One of the moat noisy and blatant of the Radical United Slates Senator* is a man tamed J.imes W. Nye, of Nevada. The writer of this recollects him well some twenty years ago, as a professing Democrat in New York. Finding he could not advance his for tune? in that party, he turned “ Frcesoiler,” and became afterward a Know-nothing, and subse quently a fall blown Radical. Notoriously des titute of principle, and known to be a corrup tionist of the worst 6tripe, he plaved himself, out in New York, and emigrated’to Nevada/ where he “ turned up” United States Senator. How he succeeded iu beating his competitor, Mr. Charles D. Long, is stated in the report of an investigating committee In Nevada. They have discovered that u a good deal of money was used to purchase votes.”' We quote from the New York Times (Republican). It says: “ A man named Hanegan,;for e»unple, swears that a member, named Cullen, told him he had ree * ved $1,350 for voting for Nye. Another | witness, named Sears, swears that he received a check for $3,000, vrtth instructions to deliver it to. a member named Proctor if he votedjfor Wye; bat as he voted against him, it bad not been paid. Proctor being called on, refused to tes tify. Various members testified to having been offered various sums if they would * vote for Nye,’ but of course, none of them admitted that they had taken the money.” [Cmctnaafi Enquirer. The Governor General ot tbe new u Domin ion of Canada,” Charles' Stanley Viscount Monck, was born in Ireland in 1819, at Temple more, In the county of Tipperary, and is a scion of an Irish'family whose patent of nobility ’dales from the year 1806. He was educated at Tc ratty Colte£e r Dublin,and after going through the regular bourse of toy the profession of law, was admitted to tbe Kir in 1841. At the general election of 1853 he was returned member ot Parliament, and eutered the House of Commons under the auspices of the Liberal party, prom 1855 to LSSS he held office as one of the Lords of ihe Treasury under Lord Pal merston, in 1861 be was appointed Captain General and Governor of Canada, which office he held till the consummation of the confedera tion scheme caused b m to be elevated to a higher position as ruler of Uie new dominion. [Special to the New York Herald. Japan. San Francisco, June 14,1867. The mall steamship Colorado, Capt. Lane, arrived at this port this morning, in twenty days from Japan. She brings advices dated at Yokohama, May 25, Hong Kong the 15tb, and Shanghae, China, the 19th ot May. The Colorado has fifty first class passengers and a full cargo of freight. Among the passengers by the Colorado are Royal Highness the Due de Pentherieve (or Peter Orleans) Count Bearoin and Captain Fauvel, who intend to spend some time H Eastern California: Captain Carden, of be** Britanic Majesty’s Twentieth regiment of foot, who goes to shoot on the Plains, and Sasaki Yourek, a highly sharpened retainer of Prince Echizein. This last named personage comes to study the mines and mining system of Califor nia. He will proceed afterwards to tbc East, where he will purchase fiiieen thousand of the most improved rifles which can be la. nUhed. The political Intelligence from Japan by this arrival is of a highly interesting and important character. The visit of the Foreign Miui&ters accredited to Lite Court of Japau to the Tycoon, »n the city of Osaea, was brought to a conclusion ou the 20. h of May, and the diplomatists hud re turned to their posts. Tlu' Wc*.latent accorded to these foroigu gen tlemen ami their attendants by the Tyeoou at Osaea w.s of a most princely character. Hott-.es h ii been prepared tor their reception, each of which w if- filled with European f limit ure of the coMihson. French cooks, with attendant i*-e:V '.u'.- irorn oilier countries of Europe, hud be( ;i provided. The supply of wines and liquors 'V s wi'bout Mini, an r! , iu fact, everything else wlny-ii they required to make them comfouaUlc dm ug,, their stay at Us ie i was furnished iu .abundance and completely free of expense or charge. Ike representative of esudi county, with the Mi'te attached to Lib legation, was giv filed a priVu; 1 audience ot tlic Ty« ooa, who culei u.iu ed them at dinner after ward-. The audiences aud loyal enters omneuts took place several . days before lue official visits were in->de. At the dinners the Tyeoou presided at a table laid out iu a large room, with high ceiling, fined up wholly iu the Europeau style ol outfit.— VV- ‘i the diuuers, which were thoroughly French in detail, were over a small but valuable present was laid beside each plate. The Tycoon of Japan is a mau of ordinary statuuc,.and, apparently, a man about thiily ti -ee years ol age, with good features, bright black eyes and splendid teeth, which he lre qncntly displays in the act of 6miliug. He was dressed very richly, and exhibited a manner at once easy and refined. He under stands thoroughly the European custom of chinking toasts, and gave and drank the “ Health of the President of the United Stales” with much gusto. At the official visit, which was of short du ration, everyibing was in Japanese order. Af ’ *r the usual commonplace greetings had beeu exchanged, the Tycoon expressed to Mr. Van Valkcnbnrgh, representative of the United Stales, bis great gratification at the establish ment of the uew steamship line between Amer ica aud Japan. “Japanese Tommy,” so favorable known— during tbe visit of the first Japanese mission— the United States, acted as interpreter for the American legation throughout the visit. Sub-equent to tbe official ceremouial the Tycoon met the Ministers at Hiogo, situated at a distance of eleven miles across the bay from Osacn, where he laid out the grouud lor a foreign settlement. This tract of ground, which is a mile in width and extending back some three or four miles from the water, has been appropriated under the same arrangement as exists tor sach pur poses in the other ports of Japan. The anchorage for vessels is good. The foreign settlement in Osaea has been created about tbe very centre of the town. All the foreigners are highly pleased with Osaea. In abont a month the foreign Ministers will visit the west coast of Japan, in order to locate a port there, which will probably be the port of Tsuranga, in the province of Kanga. AmOng the sports given for the entertainment of the foreigners of Osaea was a race between the boats belonging to the United States war vessels Shenandoah and Wyoming. The officers of the last named Vessel lost three thousand dollars in bets on the result. The Prince of Owari, who is acting Stotsbag hi, or second officer of tbe Empire of Japan, visited Yokohama recently. He has been until lately prejudiced strongly agaiust foreigners.— He was received with royal bouors in many places. r . Businesrwas suspended in Yokohama during the visit. Tiic wha’ing bark Canton Packet,’ Captain Fr.;z :r, of New Bedford, Mast., went ashore on (lie 3d of April, at Syria-Taki, on the northwest coast of Tvphon. She broke up withm five minutes aud became a total Jos?. Tue cargo bad hem previously shipped for home. No other losses have been repotted. Jam?3 Fairbanks, ot Baltimore, and four K maker? (Sandwich Islanders) were drowned on the lOili of May. The whalers Florida, Sunbeam. Active, Navy, Cicere, aud Courser, were at Hakodadi, Japan. The United States steamers Hartford and Wyoming have gone down to the inland sea of Japan* tbe latter homeward hound. The United States steatite. Shenandoah was at Yokohama, where the Mouo .icy and Supply were expected. Africans Looking Towards Africa.—At Monday’s session of the Baptist Geueral Asso ciation, held in Lynchburg, Mr. Reed stated that in many parts of the country tbe negroes have come to h*arn and manifest great interest about Africa, and in a recent interview with General O. O. Howard he w;is assured that all colored people who may wish to go to Africa will be scut free of cost to any part of Liberia. The Freed men’s Bureau will seud them to any part of tbe United States, and the Colonization Society will take them to Africa. At the same session the Rev. William Thomas said he was opposed to all co-operation with Northern religions bodies. He was afraid of them, and of all societies at tbe North. The Home Mission was of nil others the most offen sive to the Baptists of Virginia, for it had avail ed itsell of military authority to take possession of Baptist churches in Norfolk and Portsmouth to the utter disregard of principles held sacred by all Baptist churches.—Afar York Herald. Death from Rattlesnake Bite.— We are just informed of the melancholy death, from the bite of a raUleenoke, of a yoong man named John Rivers, which occurred the first of led week in Putuam county. Young Rivers was gathering strawberries in his father’s patch on his hands and knees, when the renomons rep tile sprung and struck him on the neck. A physician was sent for at once, but before he arrived the yonng man was dead. From the account given us of this sad affair we infer that either through excitement or Ignorance, tbe young man was permitted to die without any effort being made to save him. In cases of snakebite it is recommended to give the patient 81 large doeeof liquor, whisky or brandy, and toe dose repeated until he becomes dead drunk. This will relieve the patien' from suf fering and give time for a physician to arrive, who will then take the case in band and cure it.

Last Wednesday night another mob at Wyandotte, in the same Btate, took two negro men out of jail, where, it (urns out, they had been committed for an offense of which they were innocent, and shot them dead in the street. If such things as these were to occur in the South one universal bowl would go np from all Radicaldom, and a July session of Congress would be insisted on for speedy punishment.— Os course we hear nothing said about recon structing ” loyal” Kansas. [NauonnoA News § Herald. Hon. Alexander. W. Bradford, of this city, recently returned to the vestry of St. Michael’s Church, Charleston, 8. C., an ancient commu nion tankard which came into his possession, and which disappeared firom Colombia, S. C., whither it had been taken for safety, about the time that General Sherman marched through that city. We have yet to hear ol the return to their rightful owners of the numerous articles of furniture, plate, and vertu which disappeared from those portions of the Sooth which were invaded by Butler, Neal Dow, and certain oiher military commanders, who “ stole the livery of heaven,” <fec., and a great many other things— especially the other things.— New York World. Wouldn’t Stand It.—A good joke is told ns by a friend who was presentat the freedmen’s celebration in Clayton last week. It was pro posed, before the procession was formed, to bead the column with the stars and stripes proudr ly whipping the breeze, and tall it with the stars and bars ignobly trailing in the dost. The proposition was submitted to one of the most prominent and influential ot the colored mar shals, who, when he heard it, suffered his indig nation to get the upper hand of him. He re plied that no each thing should be did whar be was. He font under de Confederate flag, and if he cotch any fool nigger draggin it along in de dirt he was gwine to hurt him.” \Eufaula Netos. Crop Prospects in South Alabama.—A traveling correspondent of tbe Mobile Timet , in a letter from Camden, Wilcox county, says “ I rode across tbe country from Claiborne to Camden on tbe 7th, calling at several large plantations, meeting pleasant receptions and conversing freely with both planters and freed men. 1 was greatly deligbted at tbe vast fields of corn, and its forward and promising ap pearance. More corn is planted in Wilcox than ever before, and already many fields are laid by. Another or two fine showers and the crop is safe; and next year, whether they have money or hot, the wolf will be kept from the door. A Heavy Wager for Hard Times.—The recent trial between the steamers “John W. Anderson ” and “ F. S. Bartow” has produced considerable discussion between the members of the rival companies, and yesterday afternoon tbe arguments took the shape of a bet of 1500 a 6ide, between two well known citizens, mem bers of the two companies. The Metropolitan member has wagered the above sum that the “ Mets ” will beat the Ogletborpcs”. in throw ing a stream. The trial, we are informed, will take place in about two weeks, and it will un doubtedly create considerable public interest, inasmuch as both organizations have troops of frieods and admirers.— Savannah Republican. Carrie Bell Sinclair.—Tiffs Lady, who is well known to our readers, by her poems pub lished from time to time in tbe Appeal , has ready for the press a volume of poems, to be entitled, “ Heart-Whispers, or Echoes of Songs, from the Harp of the South.” It will include a volume heretofore published, and made in all a book of some five hundred pages. We hope it may prove remunerative to the authoress, as it ought. There are many here in Memphis, we should thiuk, who will be glad to place it among the books that they most respect. [Appeal.

From the effects of the wound inflited, be died Monday morning. His age was about fifteen years. Dr. - Anderson was formerly of Cass county, in this State. Boys eannot be too careful in looking out for snakes, whose poison at this time is so fatal.
