Fire in Augusta. At about half past eight o’clock Satur- * day morning a fife was discovered in the Augusta Cotton Factory.

The following is well gotten up by our friend Barrow of the Visitor : Barney Holland is an honest openliearted Hibernian, who differs trom the majority of the representatives of the Emerald Isle only in one peculiarity— he sometimes communicates rather freely with the spirits of corn. ‘J bis infirmity sometimes intro duces him into society where black ‘eyes are dealt, and matter for police courts is manufactured. Ho always takes the weak side, and joins the oppressed against the oppressor, without estimating the chances of coming out second best. Having recently been present at a row which was brought to the notice of our Municipal Board, Barney was introduced as witness. After having the oatli ad ministered to -him by Mayor Reese, he began to make his statement, and being slightly exhilerated by a communication received just before, he soon got fully into the merits of the case, and seemed to re experience all of the incidents of the af fray. He took sides, as the impulses of his generous nature dictated, and began to swear prodigiously. Whereupon, Mayor Reese stopped him telling him that swear ing could not be tolerated before the Court and that lie must go to the calaboose until sober enough to testify - . •‘Cant allow swearing in Court ?’ says Barney, ‘why, may it plase your honor I thought that was what Courts were made for, to sweflr in, and, by Jasus, I can prove it to ye. for you made me swear when I came in before I opened me, month.’ Wit, however, availed nothing. Barney had to obey the mandate, much to the regret of those who were enjoying the wordy altercation between Barney and the Mayor, on so important a technicality. Slave Trade Casein Mobile. In the District Court of the United Statos, Wednesday, Jude Jones delivered auelaborate and carefully prepared opinion sustaining tlie demurrers to the indictments against Gould and others, for violating the acts ofCongress prohibittig the importation of negroes —in other‘Words, for being cn gaged in the. African slave trade. We give a very brief synopsis of the ar gument of His Honor, which was as fol lows : One of the principal objects of the for mation of the general government was the regulation of foreign commerce. Before the adoption of the Constitution, each State possessed sovereign power as to its own foreign commerce. Some of the States legalized the African slave trade, others pro hibited it. The 6th section of the first ar ticle of the Constitution declaring that the foreign slave” trade “shall not be prohibit ed by Congress prior to the year 1808” is a grant of the power to prohibit after that date. Consequently the acts passed in pursuance of that authority are consti tutional. And in the opinion of the judge, the prohibiting acts are founded in sound public policy and ought to be enforced.— Those acts apply - to all persons, directly or indirectly concerned iu the importation of African slaves, either in manning or navi gating slave vessels, or furnishing funds, provisions or equipments for such vessels. But when tliß negroes have passed into other hands after importation, then they come under State jurisdiction, and are sub ject to the same rights and disabilities as other free negroes in the respective States in which they hiay be found. He who holds one of them, claiminghim as a slave, can be proceeded against, under State law, in the same wanner as if he claimed any other free negro as his slave. This argu ment ives sustained by the citation of many authorities involving analogous principles —as in the case ot merchandise, w'ben the importation has been completed, and the goods have passed into other hands and become subject to taxation—also of persons who have emigrated into the country under tiie passenger laws, and have passed iuto the masses of our population. As it was not pretended by the District Attorney, that the Africans who were the “subjects of these indications, w - ere held by the importers, but, on the contrary, as-that officer admitted that the defendants were in no way concerned in their importation, his Honor held they were guilty of no of fence under the prohibitory acts of Con gress, and. therefore, the demurrer to the indictments must be sustained.— Advertiser. The Register says: We deem it neces sary to direct attention to the many new and interesting points of law in which it abounds, and content ourselves with a brief mention of the point upon which chiefly tLe counsel for the defence gained their case. This point is not only quite new but of the highest importance to the future.! Slaves being by the Constitution placed I on precisely the same footing as all other property, the federal jurisdiction extends I over them in precisely the same manner | and to the same extent, hut uo more than j over all other property. Thus, so long as unbroken merchandise arrives iu unbroken j hulk, the federal jurisdiction extends over | , it; hut so soon as the cargo is broken and j the merchandize dispersed among the sev-! eral purchasers, it can only be reached by firocess of State Courts, lienee whatever •wsCongiesa may enact against the orig ins 1 importer of African slaves, they can not ba made to apply to the purchaser who acquired the property within the lim it* nnd tv the taws of no Indivldyrl Strife.’ Eclipse of (he Plaucts Venus, Mars and Jupiler by (he Moon. An occultation of a planet at any partic ular place, under favorable circumstauccs for observation, is an event of such rare occurence, that it cannot be expected of tener than once in four or five years. In deed, at tbe obsorvatory at Cambridge only one, (tbat of Jupiter, in August, 1556) has been seen since tbe beginning of 1852 The happening thereof, of four of these phenomena in a large part of this country in a single month, between the 24th of the present April and the 25th of May ntaxt, is very remarkable r I he first of the four, and the most beau tifel and interesting of the whole, is that of \enus, which took place last evening, when the planet was quite high, and near ly at the position of its greatest brilliancy. It. was visible in the British provinces, ami in that part c.f the United States situated Northerly of aline drawn from Albermarle sound, a little south cf Norfolk and North (J* Ciuciunatti, to Davenport, Iowa; beyond that line *ke planet was not eclipsed, *but rin.'sed South C!' tbe ™° n - , *• ’ ortt tu * hursday, April 2G, About 01 - r -n i b ■ „,„i ♦•ue northern Jupiter will be echpfpd in. . part of New Hampshire and Maine, some of the British provinces; but u, tl ,e I Southern part of New England the least distance of the edges of the planet and our satellite will be about one twentieth the diameter of the latter.

Ai> the moon will then be about five days past the full, the emersion will take place on the dark side. The color of Mars will be a fiery red, as it will be quite near the Earth; indeed, at Mars’ opposition to the sun, on July 17th, next, it will be nearer to us than for several years, with -a high South ern declination, thus giving the astrono mers at the Cape of Good Hope an excel lent and rare opportunity for determining its parrallax with greater precision. The fourth of this extraordinary series of occultations i3 that of Jupiter in the forenoon of Thursday, May 24tli, which also,will he visible in a large part of this country, but which, taking place whilst the sun is above the horizon, cannot be seen except with the aid of a very good telescope. Case ferftdy of an Abolition Captain and Crew —A Southern Lady Griev ously W ronged. Among the passengers from New York on Saturday, by the steamship Roanoke, were the young and interesting widow and t wooliildren oftlieUon Beverly L. Clarke United States Minister to Guatemala and Honduras. Upon her voyage from As pimvali, in the steam ship Ariel, Capt. Minor, as we learn from several of the pas-- sengers of the Roanoke, to whom she re lated the circumstances, her confidence in the Captain and crew was basely betrayed. The Ariel lbft Aspinwall on the 9th inst., and Mrs. Clarke having taken passage, ac cepted the courtesies extended for her protection by the Captain, and placed her self, children and servant, in his care. He treated her with marked respect during the voyage ; the crew were also assiduous in their atteutions, and the colored steward especially’ seemed anxious to lessen the monotony of the voyage by his kindness. In the meantime, the colored servant girl of Mrs. Clarke—a slave highly valued as a maternal gift, and one with whom she had been raised from early childhood—manifes ted a remarkable disposition to carry the baby to see the Captain several times per diem, which gave rise to suspicions. This, however, was overlooked, or at least nothing was said of it at the time.— But when the Ariel reached her wharf in New York, on Wednesday morning last, the servant girl, under the influence of offers, which bad been made doling the trip, was induced t> elope with the colored slewaid, whose ■wife was with him in the seerqt. for the purpose of stealing her froig bondage ; and the steamer had scarce ly reached the pier, when he and the misled and deceived creature leaped on shoie and disappeared. Mrs. Clarke, according to design, had made arrangements for going immediately from the Ariel to the Roanoke which sailed the same evening.^ —But there was an unexpected difficulty’ thrown in her way, nor did the hitherto assiduous and generous Captain show’ his treacherous face, to offer her assistance towards the ancbt of the refugees, nor even to procure tor her the services ofa substitute for her slave nor even to assist her from the steamer to the shore. She managed, however, to pro cure other assistance, and having hired a white nurse, arrived at the Roanoke in time, and reached this city, as above stated on Saturday, morning. After partaking of breakfast at the Bollingbrouk Hotel, sbe took the eight o’clock train on the South side Rail Road, en route for her home in Tennessee’ She appeared very much dejected and worn down with sorrow. Her heart, already made desolate by death, now freshly torn by tbe ungrateful conduct ofa cherished servant, tlmmgh the perfidy of those in whom she confided for protec tion, could scarcely liave homo more, and the baseness ot the perpetrators of this outrage should he held’up to the scorn and tbe reproach of every honorable citizen.— Petersburg ( Va.)

Dreadful Explosion. Columbus, Ga., April 30.— The steam er J. C. Calhoun exploded on yesterday at Rtdleyville. Crawford, acting as Captain was mortally injured. Hugh Atkins, two enginecis and two passengers dangerously hurt, and six negroes who were deck hands, were killed Instantly.

The New York Times makes an elab orate and candid showing of the effect of the census of this year on the representa tion of the several States in Congress. It figures that the States which will lose rep resentatives are: Alabama, 1; Connecti cut, 1; Georgia, 1; Kentucky, 3; Massa chusetts, 1; North Carolina, 1; New York, 3 ; Ohio, 1; Pennsylvania, 2; Rhode Is land, 1, South Carolina, 2; Tennessee, 1; Virginia, 2; Vermont, 1. I lie States which will gain representatives are : Illi nois, 5; Indiana, 1; lowa, 4; Michigan, 2; Missouri, 1; Texas, 3; Wiscbnsin, 2. The other States will stand as they are.— The Times sums up the remarkable facts as follows: 1. All the old and large States of the Union, without exception, lose ground re latively, and most of them positively. 2. The South loses ground largely ; the new State of Texas, having _fl.ee fold the territory of the old States, and lying west of the Mississippi, is the only cue that gains. so.

Wauled—a Primer. “Wanted—a Printer” says a cote.npora ry. Wanted—a meclnfnical curiosity, with brain and fingers : a thing that will set so many ems a day; a machine that will think ana act, but still a machine; a joeing who undertakes the most systematic and monotonous drudgery, yet one the ingenu ity ot man lias never supplanted mechan ically—that’s a printer. A printer ! yot for all his dissipated and reckless liab’ts, a worker-at-all-times and hours, by day and by night; “setting up,’’ -in close and unwholesome offices, when gay crowds are burning to theaters; later still, when the street revelers are gone, and the city sleeps, in the fresh air of the morning; in the broad and gushing sun light, some printing machine is at his “case,” with the eternal click ! click !
