Tint Supreme Court has deeided that the sales of wiki lands under transferred fi. fas. are void, thus confirming the tfecnion of Judge Hood io the Terrell scanty cases. Under the new railroad bill, authorising (be Governor to appoint three commission ers, to whom shall be referred all question* that may arise under the operation of the bill, the following gentlemen were appointed an Wednesday last, and will imim dlately enter upon the dunes of thoir office : James M. Smith, of Muscogee, Campbell Wallace, ef Fulton, and Samuel Barnett, of Wilkea A Bright Pictcrs.—Senator Morgan, of Alabama, writes a glowing letter to the President of the Georgia State Agriculteral Society, m which be depicta a glorious fu ture for the Sooth. He aays “there is no •ectioo of Ibis vast country that equals in productiveness the cotton States; there may be more extensive bodies of land, bst Hie advantages are largely in oar favor. The extent of forest, tbe large number of streams •f water, a more equable climate, and then a line of sea-coast that extends around two »id« of tbe country, with other resources, hwgcly preponderate in oar fevor. There is no cause to be despondent; we are strong, earnest, progressive, sod oor heritage is tbe soil, tbe climate, the rivers, the highlands, •he plains, with the forests and the sea-coast Our future is grand and glorious. A Leader in the Senate. o'ir able contemporary, the Atlanta Can et elution. concludes an elaborate editoriaf or -The Benate Mow and Hereafter," -with there significant and timely word* The Senate will remain Demeerntte. and a new leader ma«' be found to replace th* Senator that a total of pahtoc sentiment hi Ohio will deprire os of at the end of the prerent Congre«s. Correct. Tbe Senate will remain Demo cretin; hot who will Hue op to item the mighty torrent which ia alwayr being poured out upon the bead af "a solid South T” This h a momentmM question. It stares w« in the face with a grim solemnity. Thurman is a wise, sagacious leader ; he ia moreover a good friend to tbe Sooth, and ll will be hard to And a man belonging to the North ern wing of tbe Democratic die wha can combat so successfully the tsnnta end sneers of soch men as Blame, Coukling, or Ed munds. True, there are a number of able men from our section in the Senate—men who are true as steal to the peopje'they rep resent, bat nevertheWe ate wanting in tboae eminent qualities that go to auka upa great leader. Bayard, and Wallace, sad McDon ald are there, and Ben Hill ia there, and ewr owtr illustrious Gordon also; and yet none of these possess those rare gifts which made Ohio's eminent awn what all are witting to concede to him—the best and safest leader tbe Democratic party baa had since the war. Be ia ooqamntionafely one of the grandest characters he the Senate, commanding the admiration of frieuda and the respect of foes. But we believe n leader will appear when the times demand him. Instances of thin an not wanting in history. It sometimes happens that events mike men great ; and it it sometimes the case that some sodden emergency or startling convulsion develops grand and exalted qualities which would otherwise remain bidden and obscure. Had not the Giant of Philiatin sounded forth bis defiant war-cry to the armies of Israel, David would have bran nothing more that a shepherd ail his life. Napoleon was a genius brought to the gMe of the world by a crisis which had come upon his people ; and to day oar State is represented in the Senate by one wboee noble qualities, both of bead aitd heart, would have forever been bid bad they not been developed by tbe chanoes of war. And so, multiplied instances might be addoced to show that what may be regarded as impossible may of a sudden bf changed to a fact accomplished. Therefore, we have no serions fears for the Senate. Clay is gone; Calhoun is in hia grave-; Crawford, Cobb, Colquitt, nod others like them, are sleeping beneath the soil they so ably defended; bot amid the bright galaxy of strength and talent now assembled In the there will one rise with superior power when the time comes. It may be Bayard, or Vorhees—“the tall sycamore of the Wabash"—bot whoever it may be, our section will feel ber interests safe. Thb Lckatic Akyi.co.— As a matter of general interest to the tax-payers of this section of the State, we append the follow lug, from the Milledgerille Union and Re carder, relative to the Lunatic Asylum. Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, there is every reason to believe that the in stitution Is well and economically managed : “The enlargement of the Asylum for the colored insane, recently provided for by the Legislature, if going steadily forward. One hnndred and eighty rooms are to be ndded to the buildings now occupied by the male and female colored pa'ients—9o rooms to eaeh building. Forty-five or fifty laborers are employed in this work, not those who are tenting down the old peni tentiary and delivering the material on the ground Thb Aerboachtko Stats Fat*.—The Fair Is already an assured success. The ex hibition will be better than ever before, if we may believe all that bos been sard about it. The field erope will be full aod com plete; the ladiea will have the finest speci mens of their handiwork; the stock display will be good ; over fifty fine racers will be pat on the track ; tbe poultry display will be large; aeveral distinguished statesmen will be present; Cock’s Brigade will have a reunion ; tbe railroads are making liberal redactions, and everything is being done to make this exhibition tbe grandest that has ever been made in the State. Tbe hotel ac commodations will be ample. A Scarx-crow.— Tbe Boston Ikratd has this about Beast Butler’s facer “Gen. Butler’s countenance ornaments sfl tbe dead walls in Boston. A disposition to make hint look fresh and vigorous enough to undertake tbe cares of State is plainly ap parent." It would serve a better purpose were the face utilised in tbe way of scare-crows ia cornfields. Not a bird would come near it. Tax Divterknor.— Sven tbe bitterest Radical at tbe North must be struck with the difference seen in tbe speeches of Sena ton Gordoo and Cookling—one delivered at Savannah, tbe other at Brooklyn. Tbe oae is broad, liberal, exalted io tone ; tbe other is narrow, selfish, and has tbe flavor of the cock-pit. That is tbe difference. Declined.— lt is romored that Mr. Tikfeo is preparing a letter in which be will baek Fqnare down from tbe Presidency Whether this be tiue or not, we feel that be is about | as near tbe While llouac as he ever will be. j “Blushed aw Dey Wh:-h7Sxpbcts Jfrv-, /IK."

T\’ Mr. Frlilnr .<—l find in your last thue an article intended to he in reply to! a com munication publish'd in your paper of the 3d inst.. headed ‘ Honor to Whom FJpnor It Due." The article in question bents the signature of “H„” and as the gircuiatlon of your paper’ is opt confin d to tbe Jijpits of Henry county. I have thought best to en lighten your readers as to the identity of tile party. It to Mr. G A. H ; H—tiettiSFlmwwn. as preacher HiR, and frequent!? caHed brother Hill. T dislike to say anything in rexardto a minister’s conduct, but m Mfc Hill has invited me to the task.ttofiffil Mi dee vor tn do my duty by stating alow Nets, I lit the plainest language at my command - . ft was my misfortnne to hav* Mr. Hill as 'a tenant on my form last year,wider mrcum atwiega that would certainly excuse ft more “tyran tricar man : than lam. lie came to me.~ any log be could got shelter nowhere else, and more an ah act’ Of cWfty -than of necessity. I allowed him to live on my place. Now. It must be known Mr. Hill is a brave man He aayw so, and of cowrye. being • preacher, no one Would be so indelicate as to dispute his ward. Tbe first evidence that I bad of this foct was when, on n certain oc casion, after great provocation. I threatened to kick oae of hit bey* “into tbe air/” Knowing the character of the nun. after this occurrence I naturally apprehended trouble, and my M»r» were not wholly groandtesei On the third morning after I threatened his boy, be appeared fn front of my h<>esc, armed with a dob-axe. and strongly supported by bis two sons, Phillip and Wesley. When I appeared dbou the scene of action be informed me the The bad prayerfully oonaidered the matter Vfor three days and nights, non finally decided that he must have satisfaction fn answer to this speech, I warned him to leave, aftd that quick. He obeyed with alacrity, gracefully covering hie retreat with the two Mjfl men tioned above. So much for Mr. Hill's bravery. ; “ ! ‘- As regards the statement that “Bpb’s” master knocked ‘Bob” down with a fence rail, it Is unqualifiedly false—as « also tbe assertion that I have “sought for the post twelve months to impede bis (liiM pros perity. for no other reason than that he was not willing to become my abject slave,”-' » Mr. Hill is very considerate to warn the readers of Tub VVbbki.t not to say any thing about ‘Bob’s’’ mas'sr "making .the bills of Mt. G»:mel echo with his nhnll vnioe, as the mule’s master was at Umi time a member of tbe church ” 1 expect sit a future dsy to Ist the readers of T*a W'xic*iAk"»»» why “Bob’s” master uaine loqwHt the church .. Mr Hill spoke of bis aa a school teacher. This is easily explained, and would insure a fall school to up teacher who woold pursue the same coarse. ‘He went to at least, two parties, to ru)r certain knowledge, and told them to and thoic chil dren to him; that it shoald not cost them anything; that be would get Whs* he could from the public school fund, and would not ask them for any tuition money. Be is probably popular wilb tbe children because be allows them to go half a mile from the' school house rabbit-banting, and b(y Huiulg ing them in their sports in varktag ways His kindness in this respect is withowt ex ample, and should commend bins tojntt frolic some children everywhere. j «-• Mr, Hill refers the public ti several gentlemen in the neighborhood to jf#ove hts assertions, and, as I believe, wholly* without suthority. ! now call on him to aie the trath of a single statement contained in bis article by either of tbe parties to whom he haa referred, and until he Sdoeathis, an ii credulous public wilt regard his unsup ported statement wjtb just suspicion.' 1 “ In conclusion, I warn Mr. Hill *o ; confine himself to tbe truth in whatever he may have to aay about am in future. He ha* a slight advantage of me in the way of notoriety as a controversialist, bis name having appeared in these eolumoa before, while tbe paper was under tbe management of Mr. Bead, and I cannot hope to distinguish myselt ar a con test so unequal. However, what I may say. (and have said.) will possess the lierft of trntb at least, and that is more than 1 can expect from my adversary. ■t'Brwtb is mighty, and will prevail,” is an axipm well known, and I shall state some very plain facta before I withdraw from tbe contro versy.

Bxn Butler’s Early History —General Butler is sixty-one. He was “a small, sickly, quiet but very studious boy.” When he was a year old his father,a West India tra der, died of yellow fever. His widowed mother opened a boarding-house and gave her son a liberal education. Her wish was that be should become a Baptist min uter, so be spent yours at Waterville College, Maine, graduating at tbe age of twenty. After leaving college he vent to sea with his uncle oo a fishing voyage, which bad a beneficial effect upon his health, establishing an excellent constitution, which a subsequent temperate rife has confirmed. To aid him m the study of law, tbe profession finally cboeen, he taught school at intervals, and before he was admitted to the bar, which was in 1840, bad woo quite a local reputation as attorney in minor coses. A few days ago a mule at Columbus trotted up in a limpiDg way to a blacksmith ' * hc P «od deliberaiely walked into the shop. He seemed to be very uneasy aod restless, exhibiting unmistakable signs of pain. Tbe men io the shop were rather taken aback by the mule who thus came to the shop unbri- died and loose. At last the mule lifted up one of his legs, and with a gesture of his head directed the attention ef one of the men to IHs font. It was discovered that q na 1 had worked its way into tha flesh, evidently causing tha apparent pain. The nail was then drawn out, and his muleship. much re lieved. gsve a snort of thanks. A few mo ment* after he trotted of reach pleased, and has not been sec» since; General Grant lunebed under one of the big trees in the Tomesite the other day The tree has horne his name since the war. The nearest pf the giants is named '‘Andy Johnson.” The guide told Grant a story of Jndge Jackson, of Geotgia, who a few years ago visited the trees. Hiving spread his cloth under • General Gr«nt.” Judge Jackson had put the first morsel in his month when some one happened to mention the name of the tree. The unreconstructed Judge at once arose, took up his dishes, his cjoth and hia basket and moved over to Andy John son, in the shadow.of which he dined. ■, ; -T-r— --11 am Watches are Made. • It will be apparent to any one, who will examine a Solid Gold Watch, that aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing,'fe large proportion of |h» precioos metal used, is needed onlylto stiffen and bold tbe engraved portions in place, sod supply the neeeswiry solidity 'and strength. Tbe surplus gold is actually needless so far as utility and beauty are concerned In jamrs boss* patent gold W A'KCH CASKS, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity amt strength produced at from one-third to one half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple nature, as fol lows : a plate of nickle composition metal, •specially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of solid gold soldered ooe on each skfe. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, hexyls, etc., are cut and shaped by suitable dies ajid formers. The gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelling; the engraved ca»s have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing tbe gold.
