BMFFIN SFMI-WEEKU STAR SATURDAY, BBC. «, IS6B. Exit Beulah '.—We' see by tb« pipan that Miss August* Evans baa recently wedded a Railroad Presideot la Mississip pi. We eball probably get no more Novela from the gifted Southern authors#*, ae ahe haa not only gone and got married, but baa married a plain matter-of-fact busi- > nest man, who will not probably encourage any farther development by the“dirine* sfflattus.” We trust, however, that “Beu lah” may ooouicnally get oat an “original article,” of which her hatband may well be proud- Maths's Election in Atlanta.— At an election held in Atlanta on Wodneeday laet, our epecial pet. Out JBilty fiultey wot elected Mayor of that city, receiving 985 votes, no opposition. The entire Alder manic ticket nominated at tba tame time lluitey was, were elected. A noticable feature of the oa*#, was the fact that Hul sey redeived from teu to twenty rotes more than any of the Alderman, it is supposed that this is owing to the strong support given to Hulsey by the Star. Mayor Williams and the present board o( Alderman will hold on to the oity gov ernment until turned out by Law or Supe rior force. “Lot us have peace.” CONFLUENCE. This body was organised on Wednesday, by the election ol the following officers: Bishop Robert i’uine, presiding; Ate tiuus 0. Haygood, Score ary ; John W. Heidt, Assistant Secretary; Robert W. Big ham, Statistical Secretary. Not having sucurdd the servioes of a re porter. and it being absolutely out of our power to attend with any degreo of regu larity, we are unprepared to report the first and s-isoad days' proceedings of this body of clergy men. We were present, however, a short time during the session of yesterday, when the Kev. Mr. Qrahuin, and another minister whose name we did not understand, both of tho Congregational Church, were intro duced to the Congregation, and invited to seats. Both thess gentlemen delivered ad drosses, sotting forth the genera] wish of the body of Christians of which they have tho honor to ropreaent, to unite with tho Methodist Episcopal Church South. The presiding officer responded in a brief but eloquent address, and gave it as his opinion, that tho timos oall loudly for Church unity. SHOCKEYti JtIUMIDER ! BRUTAL OUTRAGE 1 DARING ROBBERY l BEN SERCY KILLED AND ROBBED 1 MRS. SARAH TYSON QARROTTEDI On Wednesday last one of the most fearful outrages was perpetratod in our midst. At about ten o'cloolt, P. M , four ruffians, disguised as negroes, entered the dwelling of Mr. Ben. R. Soroy, two milos from Gris fiu, and shot him through tho body, then soarohod tho promises for plunder ; they obtained two gold watches, and a con siderable sum of money, in specie. Tncy then took Miss Tyson into the p«acb-or> chard, and choked her to make her tell whore other valuables eoulJ he found.— From some alarm they turned Miss Tyson louse und decamped. Mr. Soroy, nt last account, was alive, hut there is no- chance for his recovery. Miss Tyson is his nisoe. Mr. S. is one of uur oldest and most respectable citizens, and Mias Tyson is a young lady above re proach. The object of those villaina was plunder. Tlioy realized several hundred dollars —took this old tuau’s life—.grossly nul-treuti'd Miss Tyson, and are yet at largi. The evident object of these sooun. drcls was to get tho money arising from the sale of the Tyson property, on Tuesday lust, hut Mr. Soroy had not received it, and the assassins only got what he had on hand. From vtUal has been learned, it is evident that this band of four rubbers, were aumposed of two or three negroes, lead on by one or two white men disguised us negroes, and we havo no doubt that there is ono or tnoro well organized elans, with headquarters at Urifiiu, directed by white men whose business is to steal from tho oil-' izens at wholesale and retail, and where stealing cannot bo effootod, to rob, plunder uml murder'. 11 >w long will our oitizons submit to such outrages T If our muniois pal, State, and county officials fail to ferret out, ami bring to justice these hellione, we are in favor of a California Vigilance Committee. i/aiT The Augunta Kopnblicao in pub lishing o lot of squibs by “Sambo,” ami others of like name. This is the best, and wily decent thing seen, in its columns tor months. W3U The Carpet-sacA-er* and Scalawags have nominated the Perjurer, Foster Blod gett for Mayor. This is eminently proper, tor their crowd is one guilty of every thing mean, and the meanest man they oan put forward conies nearest representing them. They selected him. “Thk Freedman’s Bureau.” —Ths fol lowing faithful sketch of the Bureau comes from the Nashville American A Union . "It assumed oharge of the negro jist at the time when he should have commenced to learn the responsibilities of his new rela tion to society, and debauched him into a nuisance. The mass of the freed peo ple in the South were of no aooonnt to them selves, and worse than useless to ths com munity, as long as ths Bureau controlled iinir conduct towards their employers. MT Soon after Alexander, tho Maced*-, oiao Gooquerer, bwd m ordered Parmeaio, age of the first Generals of the Macedonian Amy, and PMlotae, hi* eon, beaanee they wen suspected of infidallty to his cause, be manhed bis terrible army towards the Scythian territory to make additional con quests. After taking the eity of Maracanda, the eapitol of 3ogdiana, and laying waste the surrounding plains, be met an embassy from the Abian Scythians, who, from the death of Cyrus, had lived free and inde pendent, and who were regarded as a peace able and equitable nation. Alexander re ceived thia embassy kindly on the banks of the river laxtharee, which intervened be tween the Macedonian army and the Soy thtan territory. The leader of this embas sy, after surveying the person of Alexan der, said to him : “Had the gods given tnee a body proportioned to thy ambition, tbs whole universe would have been too little for thee. What have we to do with thee T May not thoae who inhabit woods be allow ed to live without knowing who thou art, or wbenoe thou comeet t Thou who boast est thy cunning to extirpate robbers, art tbyself the greatest robber upon earth.— Thou bast possessed thyself of Lydia, inva ded Syria, Persia, and Baotriana. Thou art forming a design to march as for as In dia, and thou now, eomest to seise upon our herds of cattle. The great poaseesions thou hast, only makes thee oovet more ea gerly what thou hast not If thou art a god, thou should'st do good to mortals, and not attempt to deprive them of their posses sion*. If thou art a man, reflect always on what tbon art; they, whom thou shall not molest, will be thy true friends —tbs strongest of friendships being contracted between equals. Do not imagino that those whom thou oonquerest can love thee, for there is no suoh thing as friendship be tween tho oonquoror and the conquered, and a foroed peace is soon followed by war. To oonolude, do not suppose that the Soy thiens will take an oath, in concluding an alliance. The only oath among them is to word without swearing. Sueli promises as these, do, iudeed, become' Groeks, who sign iheir treaties and call up<fh the gods to witness thou; but, with regard to us, our religion oonsiets in being sincere, and in keeping the promises i we have made. That mae wliois not asham ed to break his word with men, is not ashamed of deoeiving the gods ; and of what use oould friends be to thee whom thou oould’st not trust TANARUS” Alexander re plied i “I will take advantage of my own good fortune,and yuur counsel—of my good fortune, by still oontinuing to rely upon it. and ot your oounsel by not attempting an* tbingmshly.” Ho immediately dismiss'd the embassadors, fnd floated his army on rafts across the rivor, and made war upon the Soytbians. Tho tragic fate of Alexander, after hie oonquering battallions, had laid waste the greater portion of Asia, demons strates that if he had taken, and aoted up on the excellent advise of the Scythian embassadors, that he might hare dictated laws from Macadon to the surrounding na tions. But alas 1 for human ambition, and the love of conquest and glory 1 Alexan der fell a victim to intrigue, and the scep tre of his kingdom doparted forever. Wo think that the advioe given by tho Soyhth ianß to tho Maoedonian thunderbolt ot war, may be profitable to the dominant party in this Republio. Upon the surrender of the Confederate armies, tho national faith was plightod to protoct the people of the Southern Stntos,in tho eqjoymont of their rights, they having given their parole of honor to return to their penoefui pursuits, and observe thoir pledge of fealty to the government. But tho National faith was broken, and oaths administered to those whose honor requir ed tlmt they should koop tho terms of their surrender. They were thus dishonored by doubting thoir veraoity and sincerity, and thousands who were sinoere friends of the government, during the war, by oppression aud tyranny, were driven from their fidel ity, and made to ourso the pooplo in whom they had confided. We believe, that if the Government had acted wisely, und trusted the honor, and integrity of the South after the surrender, that the wrongs perpetrated upon them would bare long ago been forgot ten, and peaoe and prosperity reigned in all our borders. But the struggle for par ty supremacy, and tho thirst fur distinction and political power, seared the hearts and blinded the eyes of the conquerors, and they did not hesitate to run riot over the liberties of the people, and enact meas ures which alienate instead of bind ing together the hearts of the American people. Whether or not the dominant party will continue to pursue the same lino of policy, and thereby perpetuate the strife which has agitated this country for the last four years is a question which must he answered by the next Congress.— We confess, that to us,-the future is not as bright as patriot* could desire. The pas sions engendered by the war is fostered by prominent politicians, and'we fear, that forgetful of the true interest and glory of tho Republio, they will still clamor for the “pound es flesh,” and thus cripple, if not destroy,J the political privileges and indus trial interests of our 'peo|H, Whatever nuty be done by the party In powar, we sdvi»e our people to let polities alone for the present, and determine, by industry and economy, to retrieve their wasted fortunes. Time will teach the American people thelMrue interests, and our children may live to enjoy the lib erties transmitted to us by our patriotic ancestry. Young men and maidens, go to work. If you can find no employment in towns and cities, go to tbn country and till the soil, and yon will b& abundantly re warded.

An Important Decision— “ Homestead” and “Relief” hull* Unconstitutional.— Judge Parrott, during this week, in Dade Superior Court, decided that the “Home stead” provision of the new Constitution, so far as it attempts to exempt land which, by the laws of force at the date of the rendition of a judgment, prior to the adoption of the Constitution, was subject to levy and sale, is in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, and to that exetent, void. He also decided that sections two and seven of the “Relief Law,” which author ize a defendant, by affidavit and motion ; to open a judgment, and again submit the oase to a j jry, under that law, for the pur pose of reducing tho amount according to the equity of the case, are ip oonflict with section six, article 11 of the new State Con stitution, and therefore void.—Era.

First, then—he asserts that daring Collier's Hindu he was placed in aa out-building without a fire-place,- and was neglected in the way of nourishment, and had to beg such from the neighbors. To this 1 answer,- he •lept up stairs in tr-*y house from the time he first came tkore until two weeks or more after he got well of fe ver, and wus walking about where he pleased ; he was then taken with diarrhoea, and had to get up two or three timed of a night. 1 became tired of taking out hto chamber every morning, for I bad no servant, and tho*! It prudent to put him up a bed Is my office lit the yard, a comfortable framed and sealed house, about ten steps from our dwelling, with a plenty of warm centring. It had no ftro-place—nor la there any np stairs where ho slept before. I made the change that he might be able to carry out the chamber himself; without having to go opaud down stairs Oh one occasion, while carrying it out, ho stumped 2iis foert, fell and broke the vessel. He was not severely acolded for so doing, nor was he scold* e4|at all—nor did 1 ref Use to help him up until asked by a cllisen to do *ao, and my (family that were at borne knew the allegation to be false, nod will testify to it. lie further states that thffi said Collier Wus neg lected In the way of nourishment, during his illness, and bad to beg such of his neighbors. That Is false, lie was well attended to, and was oonsultod every day to know what he wanted to eat, until he come to the table with the family, aud It was a constant care with my wife to procure something palatable for him ; and as to his having to beg nourishment from the neighbors, that is false, and I challenge Freeman, or any other man, to bring any neighbor to my house, ok before my family, tliut will testify that they brought or sent any nourish meut to my house for Collier, or was ever begged by him to do so. So far flronr that, none of thorn visited him during his sickness. Although Freeman had not seen Collier in 30 years,-he knew him when' they met in August last, and lovited him to his house. From that hour Collie: seemed determined' to* visit Freeman and renew their old acquaintance, anti it tfas in vain for us to prevent him from going.
