NEWSPAPER LAWS. We would call the special attention of Tost Masters and our subscribes to the following synopsis of the Newspaper laws : 1. A Postmaster is required to give no tice by letter, (returning a paper does not answer the law.) when a subscriber does not take his paper out of the office, and State the reasons for its not being taken, and neglect to do so makes the Postmas ter responsible to the publishers for the payment. 2. Any person who takes a paper from the Post-Office, whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has sub' scribed or n t, is responsible for the pay. 3. If a person orders his paper discon~ tinned he must pay all arrearages; or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, ar.d collect the whole amount, whether it be taken from the of Gee or not. There eon be no legal die tontinuance until the payment is made. 4. If subscribers order the paper to be stopped at a certain time, and the pub' lisher continues to send it. the sub criber is bound to pay for it if be takes it out of the Post-Office. The law proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he uses. 5. '['he courts have decided that refu sing to take newspapers and periodicals from the Post-office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia evidence of intentional fraud.

Hutcuins. “ i'is hard to venture where our betters failed ; Or lend fresh interest to a twice-told tale.” So much has been said and written of Judge Hutchins, and so much better than I can say, that I shrink from the task of at tempting to give, even a sketch of him. But to leave out his name in mv “ sketches of the early set tlers of this county," would he leaving out a link that would weaken, if not destroy, the whole chain. I, therefore, console myself hy saying, I only write for the eye of his old friends and neighbors those that knew him long, and knew him well. Nathan Louis Hutchins was horn Utli April, 1799, in old Pen dleton, now Anderson District, S. C., near the confluence of Seneca and Tugulo rivers—the head waters of the Savannah. His father was without means to educate his children. He was permitted to attend school when the weather or condition of the crops made it impracticable or unnecessary to work. In this way he finished his pupilage at the cud of a three months’course, ut an “ old field school.” After learning to read, he would pursue his studies and general reading, late alter the family had retired from their day’s labors, by the light of a “ pine-knot fire.” When quite young—thrown on his own resources—he sought em ployment as clerk in a country store at Rnckersville, or Peters burg, a trading point at the head of the Savannah, and soon there after went to Elberton. There he was employed by a Mr. Bowen— Clerk of the Superior Court—to write for him. Geu. John A. Heard, a distin guishod lawyer, was much pleased j with him, as a promising young j man; and, being impressed with his remarkable memory, (which be tested by lending him books to j read, and afterwards conversing : with him about them,) advised him to study law. The pittance he earned in the Clerk’s office, and the generous Kindness extended him by Gen. Wiley Thompson Government agent for the Cherokee Indians, and his estimable lady—encour aged him to accept Gen. Heard’s kind offer to use his library, and to assist him. He made rapid progress as a ! student, and, in due time, was ad mitted to the bar at one of Judge | Dooly’s courts. Through the advice of Judge : Dooly, Geu. Heard and others, j he was induced to east his lot with the men on the frontier, and 1 came to Gwinnett—then recently 1 organized—in 1822 or 1823. His attention to business, his i industry, etc., soon commended him to the young and hardy com munity, and his success at the bar marked him as a man of abil -1 h >- in 1825 he was elected to the (“ WIIAT IS IT BUT A MAP OF BUSY LIFE ? ”) Legislature, and again, I think, in I 1827. After this he never held a | political office. In 1829 he married. Ilis wife died in 1851. He remained a widower through life. He, after this, devoted himself to his profession, and ranked with the remarkable men who made the bar of the Western circuit So dis tinguished. He was not distinguished as an orator. But the comprehensiveness —the analytical power ol his mind —his knowledge of human nature, and his keen insight into the mo tives of men, enabled him to lay his causes clear before juries; so that the most illiterate understood him, and his success attests his power as a practitioner. Notwithstanding the defect in his early education, he loved na ture, looked into the cause and effect of everything that came under his observation, and, with a clear judgment and most tenacious memory, he stored up a fund of information and learning that, in a great measure, overcame that defect. In 1857, Gov. Johnson appoint ed him to a v. cancy in the Judge ship, which he continued to fill twice by appointment, and twice by popular choice, until 1868; when, upon the inauguration of the present Government, lie was removed at the behests of those who, in “form of law,” had usurped authority and the place given another. After this, his failing health Warned him to retirement, and lie declined to enter again upon tin; practice of the profession in which Ihe triumphs of his life had been won. Fanily afflictions, etc., taught him to feel that “ it-was well that he had been afflicted,” and that “all is vanity and vexation of spirit.” He never professed religion, but was always charitable and liberal towards the Christian churches. His life was guided by stern prin ciples of morally, and bis pre cepts always good. A prominent citizen and law ycr, it is not unnatural that he made enemies. Generally, they were soon reconciled, fur no one was more prompt titan he to make the amende honorable, and his long services on the bench—where he knew neither friend nor foe— showed him devoid of malice, and few who knew him laded to be c<ffne his friend. For two years or more, he had been troubled with heart disease, and had symptoms of paralysis. He had apprehended sudden death, and was reluctant to travel atone. j But in January, 1870, when in j unusual good health, lie left 1 one ou business, and also to visit his i only daughter at Rome. He had been out about ten days, when, i on his way to Madison —feeling ! unwell frem cold contracted on a hand car from Kingston to Rome, a few days before, he stopped to • pass the Sabbu’h at Social Circle. That day he took his bed; Wednes day he seemed almost well, but, during that night, the disease ran rapidly into pleurisy or pneumo | nia, and, on Friday night, 11th of; j February, he died, conscious to the last—directing matters as if preparing*for an ordinary journey, and, with a calmness and compC sure that awed the two or three at ;his bedside into aileut wonder;; then, without a struggle, quietly | breathed his last, as if going into a pleasant sleep! My first recollection of Judge Hutchins dates back 46 years ago; only a few years from the Unae he 1 first came to Lawrencevilie. i He then boarded with a friend ; of mine, who lived in a house on the street Hast, and » abort dia- taucc from the present residence of Mrs. Culver. The old house has long since been torn down aud removed. Our people then were a plain, unpretending people. The sound of the now fashionable dinner-bell, “ these valiiosand rocks had never heard.” The harsh and head splitting gong was a tiling unheard j of as much as the magnetic tele j graph or the mountains in the j moon ; and if one of these abouti | nable gongs had then been let loose I in the town, the staid men of that day would have been excited as at tl.e rush of the tornado or the rockings of an earthquake, and the women would have gone into j hysterics and fainting fits. | The calls to the hoarders then, were hy the plain, o'd-fushioned tin trumpet or ox-horn. Judge Hutchins was then re garded by our people as a remark able nuiu indeed, for lie uas a laio- ! yer, and a lawyer in those days was looked upon as a wonder! I next remember him as Colonel— I believe—of the county militia. 1 recollect him well upon the parade ground before the regiment, which was ‘‘ armed and equipped as the law directs;” some with long sticks, some with poke stalks, some with umbrellas, and a few with old guns, without locks in many eases; and, with all these, they went through the manual of arms ! The Colonel mounted upon his beautiful sorrel horse—handsome ly caparisoned—with long, flow ing mane, tassels pendant from the head-stall and brow-band of j his bridle, fancy housings attach > ed to his saddle, his gilt sabre glistening in the sun-beams—he j was the admiration of all; and, to my young mind, the most ” mar velously proper man ” 1 had ever seen. It aroused the aspirations of my young ambition, and I hoped, some day, that I, too, might be an officer to command, and look like him. After a time my young am bition was somewhat gratified by being chosen a “ Georgia Major,” but 1 never could approach within gun-shot of what I had conceived hit elevation! I hope I shall be pardoned for the above seemingly light and trivial reminiscences. They come up on tint memory, and cause me, irresistibly, to incorporate them > in this sketch, as incidents in the ! early history of the old county. Judge Hutchins was * man of chivalry and high personal cour age. Not like the pugilist or holy;! but his was a high, manly cour- | age—to resist and punish insult and impertinence. I have some times witnessed his rencounters with his adversaries —some of .hem as fearless as himself. In none of them did he ever disclose any other hut Cool courage and | indomitable pluck. In the memorable rencounter with Gordon —when they iougltl , with knives—it was the most dan gerous affray that had ever oc curred in the town. With Hutch ' ins and Gordon it was “ Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug i u f war.” Two more fearless men j i I have never seeu. Both carried i the scars of that l;ght to their * graves. They afterwards became , friends, and remained cordial I through life—each having great ' respect for and satitfaetory evi | deitee of the other’s pluck. Judge Hutchins was never pro perly understood by some of his 1 follow-citizens. By some he was i considered selfish, perverse and unfeeling—-that he cared nothing except for himself and his own interests and aggrandizement. — This grew out of the laot that in the collection of debts placed in ' his hands, he prosecuted the claims jof his client* with vigor, and, it [t?2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. No. 21. may have been, sometimes, with ap- I parent rigO . j In the Couitviouse, us an attor ! ney, he na lc enemies, some* times, by the zeal and tact with which he prosecuted his clients’ into recta, often with apparent harshness to the adverse party. Contra to this, I have been in formed by iiis executor, that there are claims, notes, flfus, etc., amounting to thousands of dol lars, now belonging to his estate, which might have been collected, but tor his indulgence, winch, by the delay, are a total 10-s 1 state, frankly, llmt I labored under a misapprehension of the man for forty years. 1 had con. sidered him as caring for neither “king nor country," and only for himself and his. My opinions, however, had been undergoing a change for some years past, and an incident, just -after the war, changed the whole current of my estimates of the man. At the first Court lie held iu the county after the war, I was the foreman of his grand jury. Sbci e‘y was terribly demoralized.— Crime and transgression of law were rampant and unrestiained. Society was unhinged, and the lawlessness of the times was fear ful. At that term of the Court were “found” a great many lulls of indictment and special present ments by the grand jury. When the jury would enter into theCuUi t room to return their bills, his practice was to have the foreman j to sit by his side; and, one eve- j nitig, while the clerk was calling the jury, he took front my hand the bills and glanced over them ; i then turning to me, said- his eyes I full of tears:—"Oh! what a wretched state the country is now in—and what is to become of us, God only knows! ” The deep solicitude in his face at the condi tion of the country, especially the 1 team in his eyes, changed the whole current of my opinions of the man. I could not mistake him then; the face may deceive, but “ there it truth in a tear.' 1 “ Too oft is a finile Bat the hypocrite's wile, To mask detestation or fear ; Give nte the soft ligli, Whilst the soul telling rye Is ilinuud for a time with a tear." But ho is gone to his grave, and his old friends feel the loss. I quote from tho forcible language of Ids friend. If I‘. 11., in a letter of condolence to his son, shortly after his death: “One hy one of our wisest and best men are passing away, and their places arc being filled by desperate and reckless adventu rers, whose counsels and conduct are controlling the destinies of a great, unfortunate and suffering people! ” Y’es! one by one tho old fatheis of our county arc passing away. 1 Nearly all are gone. They were a noble race of men. “We shall look not upon their like again.” Finally, we quote from a news paper article of him, shortly after his death : “The highest praise that can be awarded to any man, is to say of him, after death, that his virtues alone arc ten embered. If he had faults, a grateful people, deeply indebted to him, will never apeak of them, but will cherish with pride and affection the memory of his u any virtues, and of his greatness in private life, at the ! bar, and on tlie bench.” W Why do birds in their little nests sgree ?
