A lflHy correSjlpndjßrtt df the New York gives a skotch of a sermon she heard in Georgia near ly holf a century ago, from which we give an extract: The preacher was apparently about fifty years of age, large, mus cular ana well-proportioned. On entering the pulpit he took off his coat and hung it on a nail behind him, then opened his collar and wristbands, and wiped the perspira tion from his neck and hands. He was clad in. striped cotton home-| spun, the samej material. He ban traveled several miles that morning, and deemed al most overcome by the heat. . But the bretheren sung a couple of hymns while he was fanning and cooling off, and when he rose be looked comfortable and good-na tured. He had preached there once or twice before, but to most of the Au dience he was a strpnger. Hence,, he thought it lo announce! himself, which he did as “Old Club- : JwiWn-county, aj Half-hafrd ana" Half-soft-shell: Bap-' tiat,” *‘l have given niyself that name/’j said he, “because.

And after all the un- 1 derbush is clearod out, and the owls and wolves are skeered back, and rattlesnakes tg killed off, a Presby-. terian brother, in black broadcloth; and white; cravat, will come along and cry for decency and order.

Ht then turned to the audience, and said, smiling ly ; “St Paul exhorted the brethren to ‘beware of dogs/ I wonder what he would do if he were in my place this morning? It' appears like I am ‘compassed about with dogs,” as David said he Wal,” He had scarcely commenced preaching again before there was a terrible squealing and kicking among the mules and horses that we re tied to the trees close by. He put his head out of the window and said: “No harm don!, brethren. Just a creetur, with a slide-saddle on, has broke loose. Will some brother head the animal, for no lis ter can walk home this not day.” ’ Quiet being restored he contin ued : “Well my brethren, I will now try to say what I alluded to about the Presbyterians. “As* I said before, they raise their children a heap better than we do. They behave better in church, and keep Sunday better, and read the Bible and lam the catechism better thsnoursdo. I declare, my breth ren, their children are lamt the Westminister catechisnri by the time they can begin to talk plain. “It ain’t three weeks since I was out a cattle huntin’—for two of my yearlin’s had strayed off; and I stopped in at old Brother Harker’s and took dinner.

INTiESTIN9 FAort BROUGHT TO LIGHT BY DETECTIVES. In Jefferson Superior Court, Fri day, Obadiah Rost was convieted of the murder of Nathaniel Corn wall, on November 30, 1877. The jury, returning a verdict of guilty; recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court, thus reducing the capital punißhment to impres onment in tne pehitentiary for life. Tne crime for which Ross will pass the remainder of his days in penal servitude was a heinous one. At 12 o’cldfck,on a dismal Winter night, in the letter part of 1877, an ola man N atheniel Cornwall, a merchant liv ing dear Bartow 1 , JefferGOn county, Ga., waS foully murdered. At that hour his store was seen by neighbors to be in A bright blaze. The fire was beyond control and the entire build, mg was consumed. Every vestige but charr and remains was swept away. Cornwall himself, who a bachelor and slept in the building, was never again seen in life. A seach in tlie debris, however, discov ered a portion of a backbone of a hu man being, and this circumstance that lie had here met his death. Suspicon of foul play was first whispered around and thin intimated, apd afterwards charged by many who coti.l4 find no otper solution of the mystery. A notorious character, named McDan iel, .who had committed numerous deeds pf violence, and who was then serving out a life sentence in tbs Dade.coal mines for a murder perpe trated in wilkinson county, waa pointed to as the most likely indi vidual to accomplish a crime so heinops. • .He had before bsen sua piciorfed for his skilfully laid schemes to prevent detection. This murder looked like hia mark, yet no steps were immediately taken to for let out the crime. A Mr. Cornwall a brother of the deceased, now of the old rich firm of weed <fe Cornwall, of Sayannah. at length determined to bring the perpetors of of the three fold cHfiie Of murder arson and rob bery. to justice. Detectives were employed,,and pdt to work. One donne’d the .convict’s garb, gained admittance to the Dade Mine, hand.- led the pick for weeks among the “black diamonds,” and soon became intimated with McDani*l. The detec tive said McDaniel confessed to him there the murder c f Cornwall —that he himself struck the fatal blow with a hatchet when CornwalL.turned to get the goods requested from the shelves —that after robbing the establishment of mon ey and valuable, he- and his accomplices —for he implicated- several citizens of Scriven .oounty who had before Scriven county who ha'd uefore borne fair repu tations —poured kerosene over the body of Cornwall and over the door and coun ters, set' fife to the house and rode away by the glare of the conflagration After his confession another detective was at once directed to hunt up the accessories. He went down into the suspected neigh borhood, established a fishing station on the river, and became to all purposes “one of the boys,” employing one of the E ergons suspecting in his operations in is operations and associating intimate ly .with them. He gradnally wormeU himself into the confidence of those whom McDaniel’s confession had impli cated as the guilty parties. He .-ay.i that Obadiah Ross told him at one time that he accompanied McDaniel on this foray—that they killed a horse or two, in riding forty miles and back, betweon suns, that he was with McDaniel, inside the store, when he struck Cornwall with a hatchet. Four others—Say the detec tives —James Ross, James Newton, John Newton and John Sikes, Were implicat ed as accesseries before the fact by both McDaniel and Obadiah Ross. These four were arresied. Every effort to ar* rest'Obadiuh Rosa failed. It was said that he remained in the neighborhood of his own hoine for sometfme, but fiualiy the search became so close that he wa? forced to flee.
