jo o'clock, M. and placed in a private carriage.
Mr. Key. Pastor of one of the Methodist
• .srehos in tbe city, and Dt. £. N. Calhoun,
je in the carriage with the officers and pris-
'..ft. The ancient custom of convey ing the
I ^giiaa) from jail to the' gallows in an open
r ,2on or cart, and sitting on his coffin, was
, a rtid from in this instance. Neither was
.ff prisoner dressed in his grave clothes, before
j.ving the jail, ns usual, but wore his customs
< clothing—a black suit.
'jit early os yesterday afternoon, visitors
- ci the surrounding towns and country began
• irrivc In the city, by tbe different trains, in
■>r to bo present aud eye-witnesses of tbe
,-mn and awful cermonics which have to-dav
jon enacted in our midst. At an early hour
. . morning, the crowd began to gather in the
-bboihood of the jail, aud long before the
^ur of 1- o'clock had arrived, an‘immense
Altitude. numbering by thousands, and col
,:ed together in tbe ium^edintc vicinity of tbe
•fl-on, a»d in all the streets leading from it.—
. crowded were the grounds, that it was with
j ne difficulty the Sheriff and his attendants
ild make their way through the mass of hu-
beings* in order to reach the entrance
^te of the jail enclosures. The place of exe-
iation was about a half a mile from the prison,
t r the McDonough road, just outside the
c limits. And one of the strangest coinci
des that we have ever noticed, occurs in
. section with the placo necessarily selected
•Vr the execution. It will be remembered by
j',,, r y one who has read Crockett’s Confession,
that he says the first time he ever saw Landrum
In his life, that he knows of, was on the day
; the murder, and that be saw him first, near
Arch I!iown’s grocery, on the McDonough
rJ .j, near Atlanta. And strange to say within
in) and fifty yards, or less of this spot, was the
,’jee selected for the execution. And we un-
dand the Sheriff could not get any other
suitable place within one mile of the jail. Sing
er, Meed, that ihc murderer should be hang-
cisa iiear the spot where he met his victim for
first lime; and equally strange the Sheriff
should find it utterly impossible, (in conse-
icce of objeclious bv land owners,) to get
aj other proper place, within the limits pre-
Knbed by law.
But our purpose in this article is merely to
-ve a brief outline of what was said and done
i«mnoction with tbe banging of poor young
Oockett- All that is curious and interesting
is L:s short- and eventful life, has already been
Tsblished in pamphlet form, and read by most
if ocr readers.
Tbe crowd around the Jail patiently awaited
ue arrival of the Sheriff and his attendants,
ad when they emerged from the prison with
lie criminal in full view of the crowd, a thrill
or sensation seftnod to pervade the entire mul
titude, which we cannot describe, and are ut~
trrij unable to understand. It could clearly
se seen by a close observer, and appeared to
he a simultaneous expression of ease, after a
tenon of the most terrible suspense. The
carriage containing tbe prisoner, proceeded to
IfcPunough Street, and out that street to the
;isce of execution, at a slow speed, accom-
; mied by a handsomely uniformed volunteer
cipnny. armed with burnished muskets, as n
purdf The military company numbered for-
rr-two men. The carriage and military escort

bat mostly on foot.
the place of execution, a large number
,-urious spectators bad also collected, at an
early hour in the morning, and having taken
ail the most advantageous positions in view of
tie pillows, were awaiting the arrival of the
pinner. When tbe procession from the Jail
ined ami mingled with those at the place of
cieciition, considerable disorder and confusion
prevailed for a few minutes, caused by tbe
.’rest anxiety of all to secure positions from
which they could see the dreadful tragedy
which was' about to. be enacted before them.
Order, however, was soon restored, and tbe
prisoner and his attendants ascended the scaf
fold. prepared for the occasion. The criminal
sppeared to be cool and collected—not the
slightest agitation seemed to distuib hi?nerves.
He occupied a seaton tbe platform, while Rev.
C. W. Key, 'addressed a few remarks to the
tut assemblage. Sir. Key said that he enter
tained strong confidence, from the prisoner’s
own profession, and from the evidences that
W had been able to gather as one of bis spirit-
•il advisers, that he had made his peace with
Li God, and was prepared to meet his fate.—
That he had seen him daily for a week past,
md that tbe prisoner had assured bim that he
Led without aught in his -heart ngdinst any
-•a, even tbose who bad done him tbe most
injury. That he had assurance that God had
forgiven him for the criiioe which he had no in
tention to commit, a few minutes before be
did the fatal deed; and that he had sincerely
repented of this and all others.
He further stated that he had confidence to
telierc, from the peculiarity of tbe case, tak-
g all the circumstances into the account, that
tk* profession of bis faith in Christ, wasagen-
- a# oue. That his parting words to his wife,
the calmness of his parting mind under
circumstances, gave him increased assur-
*' tv. He then begged the earnest supplica-
ttoos of the assembly in his behalf, that God

The Damage by she Overflow*.
In regard to the probable extent of the dam
age by the freshets, tbe New Orleans Pica-
j’une of the lCth remarks: “The conversa
tion. in the street turns almost exclusively on
the inundation which now threatens to become
f-mr-r. 1 :-.:l tl.rough the Mi-''-i-ippi V:,!!.-, .—
I he damage already done the cotton crops is
immense, and may be put down, \ciOioul any un
due exaggeration, at Itdo hundred and fif
ty to three hundred thousand bales. What the
extent of the injury may be when the heavy
rise reported in the upper rivers reaches tin
Overflowed region and presses on the weaken
ed barriers that feebly restrain tbe flood, re
mains to be seen. The calamity has assum
ed such serious proportions that it can no lon„
er be sneered at by those who affected to say
that tbe overflow was manufactured for ik;
purpose of influencing prices.”
The Crescent of same date says:
The talk yesterday was the large transac
tions in cotton. The absorbing talk was of
the consequences of inundation. It was be
lieved yesterday that the closing of the Hespe
ria crevasse has been abandoned. This settles
the fate of thousands on thousands of the best
cultivated lands in tbe parishes of Madison and
Tensas. There was raised in Tensas in 1856,
65.200 bales of cotton; in Madison. 48,423
bales, in Carroll, which covers Point Look
Out crevasse. 52.995 bales. These three par
ishes furnished 166.618 bales. How much of
tbb cultivated lands of these parishes are sub
merged, we are not informed. These are in
our own State bordering on the river. Then
there is Concordia, which sent to market 52,
068 bales. Although this parish is compara
tively free at this moment, it is impossible to
say, from the accounts daily received, bow
long it will continoe. In addition to these
parishes, we will go higher up on the Mississipi
side of the river. From that section we have
accounts of great damage in Bolivia, Issa
quena and Washington counties, in which are
some of the most productive cotton lands in
the country. Then, in addition to these gloomy
details, the Tallahatchie river is full and ready
to disgorge over its banks, and meeting th
waters from the Mississippi, the inundation
will be vast in tbe extreme*; in fact it will set
tle the cotton question for this year.
A Railroad Train at Sea.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writing from on board of the cars of the Ohio and
Missouri Railroad, west of Vincennes, May 2.
gives a description of a somewhat novel kind
of railroading. He says^^B
On crossing the bridge of the Ohio &
Mississippi Railroad, at Viucennes. the trav
eller westward witnesses a novel sight in rail
roading. Before him is a lake (the Wabash
valley overflowed) over six miles wide, and
longer than the eye can reach. Across this
sea the train runs on a trestle work th‘at sticks
out just four inches above water. Nothing is
seen on its broad surface save these two iron
rails, around which the waters eddy and whirl,
and’dash mad'y against the slender frame,
which .seems to tremble under their force. All
over the lake are’whirling eddies, carrying
big trees and drift-wood round and round.—
These soon make your head swim, and you
feel that tbe trestle work is certainly moving;
the bottom seems to be undermined and is
moving; while the top is tipping over against
tbe current, and you’expect every moment to
hear tbe 6plash of the train going down into
the sea. But it don’t go, aud there is no dan
ger, frightful as it looks
But now we come to a place that really
seems fearful. We are in the middle of the
lake. It is just twilight,—almost out of sight
of land—nothing bnt a waste of waters on
every side of that long, solitary railway train;
we leave the straight line, and go carving
southward like asnake's track. Why ? Sim
ply because the flood has carried the trestle
work away from its straight course aud left it
in a zig-zag line, (and half upset, at that) some
distance below where it originally stood
So badly upset was this trestle work, that
in some places the rail on onerside was two
feet lower than on the other, and it seemed as
though it wanted only the weight of the train
to throw it entirely down. The lower rail
had, however, been taken up. and timbers
placed on that side to bring it tip as high and
in some cases a little higher than on tbe other,
so as to throw most of the weight on the up
per side. It was also braced up and stayed
as well as could be done in the present state
of the flood.
On this half overturned, racked and tottlish
looking trestle work, our train kept cautious
Iy along. A railroad train ont at sea, with
iron enough about to anchor it safely at the
bottom, and creeping along on a shaky trestle
work, that the engineer is afraid to jar, for
fear he may jar it down

A Importast Patent.—Mr. Jesse Mor
gan, an old and highly esteemed citizen of our
town, has succeeded in securing letters patent
from Washington city, for an important im
provement in tanning leather. Mr. Morgan
has for near thirty years been experimenting
with a view to the discovery of some process
wherebv the time and quantity of bark required
for tanning might bo reduced. He has at
length succeded, entirely to bis satisfaction.
Tbe principal points of advantage embraced
in this new process arc these: Only about one-
half tbe bark or tanning material is required ;
the leather is taken in a half-tanned state, and
bv the application of the new compound is fin
ished and converted into beautiful and soft
leather in a few moments. Some additional
weight of leather is also gained by tbe new
process—say one pound to the side.
In regard to the durability or strength of the
leather finished by this process, we are pre
pared, upon tbe best practical authority, to
speak unhesitatingly. Not only is equal fine
ness. softness, streugtb and durability claimed
for it, but it is thought to possess these quali
ties in a superior and advanced degree over
that prenared in the old way.
We noticed this discovery more than a year
ago, as having been mado by Mr. Morgan.
Since that time be has experimented farther,
with a view to the perfection, as far as possi
ble, of his process, previous to application at
the Patcut Office. ... ,
• We claim for this discovery that it is one of
the most important of the day. . Affecting so
materially a department of industryof so great
magnitude, and in which such vast amcuuts of
capital are employed, itsyalue will a: once be
seen. If employed by manufacturers general
ly, it cannot fail to reduce the price of leather
at least one-third.—SumUr Watchman.

Cologsri Fluids for the Hair are Dasgerous
—Professor Wood’s Hair Tonic restores the color,
not by the nitrate of silver process, bnt by a re
storation of the healthy funeti'-ns npon which the
original and natural color of the hair and its moisture,
its cIosj, its life, and consequently its original byau-
ty depended. Professor Wood, at the age of thirty-
seven years, was as gray as a man of eighty, and lo
ll si r was dry, thin and dead. New he lias not a single
grey lock upon his crown, nor is liis liair diin or dry,
out sofr, pliable and moist as that of a child of five
years. This preparation acts upon the roots, for
after an application, that portion of the hair nearest
the scalp is found restored to the original color,
whatever it was, while the ends of tho hair are grey.
Try Wood's Hair Tonic, and do not apply any oth
er till after yon have this. With this resolution you
will never have occasion to us- a hair dye.

therefore recommend the Inferior Courtjto assess a
tax of twenty per cent, upon the couuty l ax to meet
the wants of’the poor children.
Our roads aud bridges are generally in a very bad
condition. In some uf tbe districts we learn that
no road commissioners have been appointed, and
those who have been, have either failed to do their
duty, orelse the overseers appointed by them, have
failed to do theirs.
The attention of the Inferior court is called to the
following bridges. The bridge at Thomas Gilbert's
old Mill, oil Mossv Creek, the bridge at Crawford’s
Mill, known as Giles' bridge, also the bridge across
Big Creek, known as Lawson’s bridge, the time
having expired for which they were to be kept up,
they should be either repaired or rebuilt.
We would request the Inferior Court to have all
executions that have been issued for taxe> and return
ed as insolvent, to be placed in the hands of some
efficient officers for collection, not only for the
past year, but preceding years, as we are of opinion
a number of them can be collected.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Lamar, we ten

Covenanting.—For three hundred years
among the Protestants in Scotland. The Eng
lish correspondent of the United States Pres
byterian tells of a recent instance, and thus de
scribes tbe mode:
The interesting act of Covenanting was
aged in lately, in the original Secession
Church. Polokshaw’s. Scotland. Discourses on
the duty of Covenanting had been previously
delivered; members had been publicly cate
chized ; prayer-meetings had been held’at in
tervals ; and difficulties about the duty pro-
josed had been discussed. The congregation
laVlbgbeen thus prepared for the solemn exer
cise, intending Covenanters met on the after
noon of the above day, with numerous friends
from other parts of the country ; after divine
service, there were severally read the Nation
al Covenant of 1«50, the Solemu League and
Covenant, and the Acknowledgement of Sins
contained in tbe Testimony of the Associate
Synod. Thereafter the p istor of the congre
gation read the Bond, whilst more than one
i’undred persons, with uplifted hands, solemn
ly vowed to adhere to it. The Covenant, writ
ten on parchment, was then subscribed by all
who had taken the oath. The proceedings
throughout were of the most solemn character,
and numbers appeared greatly overcome.
A Clerical Rebuke.—-When Hr. Pitt be
came Premier, many of his old associates at
Cambridge expected him to find - preferments
for them. Oueiday Pitt, attended by a crowd
of expectants, was present at a sermon preach
ed before the University by Dr. Paley, who
electrified the assembly {by giriug out as his text
the following passage from St. John’s Gospel,
“ There is a lad here which hath five barley
loaves and two small fishes; but what are they

This certifies that Dr. Hiram Segarof .Macon
Ga, has pat in a foil sett of teeth for my wife, and
no man could have done it more perfectly. Dr.Se-
gar has also done work of the same character for
several members of Hugh Lawson’s family, to their
entire satisfaction, and I recommend him as in every
way being an excellent workman, and a perfect gen
tleman. Dr. Blaisdell has been recently associated
with him, and from observation, I state that no men
is more fully qualified for the discharge of profes
sional services than Dr. Blaisdell.

EDITOR’S CERTIFICATE.
A CUKE BY OXYGENATED BITTERS.
Burlington, Vt., Nov. 12,1351.
Gentlemen,—I suffered for about a year previous to
last --.ring, from a derangement of the action of the
heart, which like most others similarly afflicted, I
supposed to be an organic disease, and having seen
the Oxygenated fitters highly recommended for use
in such cuats, I procured and used a single bottle
with emire success. _
The di-iigreeuble symptoms spedily disappeared,
and 1 have never ad any recurrence of them.
Being really of opinion that this medicine is ofun
questionable value .is a cure for Dyspepsia, (iu which
opinion I am happy to know that 1 agree with many
int-lligent physicians,) I have no hesitation in per-
I liis C"-riiSoi!c to be Used in any way that
w ill promote its more general use.

STRICTLY IN ADVAXCE.^
rnHE DISPATCH, publish,-,! at 3 o’clock. P. M
J. is delivered in Macou, Atlanta, and intermediate
puiuts. at day-light the morning after publication.
THE DAILY DISPATCH
Contains the latest telegraphic and mail intelligence,
up to the hour of publication, and offers to merchants
and the reading public a most desirable medium of
Commercial, Genet-:;! and Local
IV’ews.
It contains accurate reports of thelendingmarkets
ktfhis country and Europe, and a careful daily state
ment of the Prices Current in Augusta, based upon
actual transactions. I ta reading columns will contain
a full aud reliable summary of the
LATEST GEiVEKAL NEWS!
Our advantages in this department are unequalled,
embracing, in addition to the usual mail facilities,
telegraphic communication with all the prieipal cities
and a large carps of special correspondents.
The rapidity with which the DISPATCH has ob
tained a circulation, equalled by very few Daily pa
pere South, sufficiently attests the success and prae
ticability of cheap papers. They follow railroads ns
naturally as water ruus down hill. The DISPATCH
is located «t the most favotable point, and issued at
the most favorable time for obtaining aud dissemi
nating the very Latest News. The telegraphic and
mail facilities of Augusta, and its proximity to the
interior, give it material advantage over auy ofjts
sister cities as a distributing point, and an Evening
paper, furbishes news to Middle and Upper Georgia,
parts of Tennessee and Ahbuma, and to South-Wes
tern Georgia, aud parts of Florida, twelve hours in
advance of any other publication. Merchants, Plan
ters. Speculators, aud tbe reading public would do
well to test these assertions for themselves.
WEEKLY _ DISPATCH-
This paper is issued every Friday, and contains
36 columns, (with few advertisements) and in addi
tion to the Commercial and Genera] News of the
dai, and the Prices Current in Augusta, it ulireys con
tains an attractive variety of picasiug Miscellany,
Tales. Sketches, Poerry, tec. It is the design of the
