Policeman Conlon was called to the arrest of a colored convict on Broad street, below the Lower Market, known as Dan Turner, who had escaped from the chain gang, where he had been sentenced for the stealing of a dog belonging to Judge A. P. Robertson. When the above named police officer essayed to arrest the convict, in company with his brother after the flesh, a pistol was drawn upon the arresting officer, who had grappled with the escaped convict, and thrown him upon the ground, on Broad street, between Elbert and Lincoln streets, where the pistol in question was halved, the policeman retaining the barrel. Each of the negro brothers then attempted to make good their escape by flight, one of which, the escaped convict, gained a bateau and paddled across the river to the Caro lina side, while the other, Edward Turner, ran down Reynolds street to East Boun dary, where he jumped into the river and escaped from the police officer. Policeman Conlon was entirely un armed, having neither club nor pistol at the time the arrest was attempted, in conse queuce of which his hands were considera bly mutilated, and the convict escaped. Subsequently, Edward Turner, the brother of the escaped convict, who had jumped into the river to avoid arrest, returned to the Georgia shore, aj'ter swimming down the river more than one-fourth of a mile, and was arrested by Policeman Shaw, and arraigned before Recorder Crump for viola tion of the 21st section, in pulling Police man Conlon off liis brother aud allowing him to escape. The accused, Edward Tur ner, was convicted, and sentenced to pay a tine of SSO, or serve three months on the chain gang. The Peabody Funeral Fleet. —A dis patch to the New York Tribune, dated Washington, sth inst., says “that the Navy Department has received dispatches from Capt. Me. Comb, commanding the United States steamer Plymouth, which ac companies the English ship Monarch, con veying the remains of the late Mr. Pea body. He iu formed the Department that they had decided to take a southern route, touching at Madeira and Bermuda, but does not indicate what time they may be expected at Portland. According to the calculation made by Admiral Porter, al lowing the ships to stop at Madeira and Bermuda the usual time for coaling, their arrival at Portland may be expected about the 25th inst. The Mayor of Portland has ordered the City Hall to be closed for all public amuse ments until after the reception oftliere inainsbf Mr. Peabody: When the Monarch arrives, Minister Thornton will be on hand to receive the remains of Mr. Peabody, and, as the representative of the British Government, to turn them over to the Uni ted States authorities. The present pro gramme is. that the Mayor of Portland shall receive them, and the question that has arisen is, whether he is the proper offi cial. The President has ordered naval ves sels to meet the remains at sea, but it is a question whether that is making enough of the mutter, and whether the Secretary of State, or some other official immediately re presenting the President, ought not to be detailed to receive them from Mr. Thorn ton. This questiou will do doubt be satis factorily settled by the diplomats here prior to the 25th. A Plea fob the Babies.— The Courier- Journal notes the fact that a correspondent, of the Medical Gazette, who is a practicing physician, comes to the rescue of the ba bies against what he denounces as their deadly enemy, Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. He says he was called to see an infant that was in a dying condition, ap parently from the effects of a narcotic poison, and was assured that it Had taken no medicine but this “soothing syrup.” The doctor took the bottle and had some of the syrup aua'yzed by a skillful chemist, and the analysis showed that each ounce of the stuff contained nearly one grain of morphine.' A dose for an infant three months old, as prescribed by Mrs. Wins low’s printed directions, contained an amount of morphine equal to ten drops of Aaudanum. This is ordered to be given to thft child every two hours, in certain cases, and double the quantity to a child six mouths old. As children are very suscept ible to the influence of opium, of which morphine is the active principle, four drops of laudanum having been known to kill an infant of uiue months, ana rers of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothinjg Syrup sell annually about one hundred thousand two ounce bottles in the single State of New York, the reader can form some idea of the number of babies that are soothed to per petual sleep by this nostrum. Mothers had better stick to catnip tea. Twenty-Five Cents a Pound fob For eign Literature. —Some of the publishers and printers of the United States are about to send a petition to Congress asking for a specific duty of not less, than twenty-five cents a pound on all imported books, either bound, unbound, or in sheets. The reason given for the petition is, that while every book manufactured in America has to pay to the Government at least fifteen separate taxes ou the various articles composing it, foreign books are allowed to come in under a duty comparatively so trifling that it is cheaper to manufacture them abroad. The “ consequence,” as they say in their state ment, “is that a book can be ordered in England and imported into the United States that will not cost, after paying duties, freight, and all other charges, more than half of what a similar book manufac tured here would cost.” Sale of the Dahlonega Branch Mint. —The Atlanta Constitution reports that on Tuesday Col. G. W. Adair sold, at public outcry, the United States Branch Mint pro perty, at * Dahlonega, consisting of ten acres of land, a large two-story brick building, 130 feet by 25, and an ell 60 by 35 feet. Tiie property cost originally about $200,000. Miles G. Dobbins, Esq., bought it for $1,325. The gold scales, and other fixture.!, were bought by Representative W- P. Price, for $lO7. Advertising Dogs—The New York Democrat says : “ Merchants in Savannah, Ga., advertise in a novel way. Dogs run around the streets with blankets on, on which are painted advertisements. Then there is some use these hydrophobists can be put to. But wc-Jt it injure the local papers V” The Republican thinks it a dog- ged mean trick for merchants to bring their goods before the public in that way, and threat ens, if it is not stopped, to petition Council to kill all the dogs, even those with collars on. We presume that the petition will be cheerfully endorsed by the sausage manu facturers of the city. Shad Fishing About Savannah. —The Republican says the fishermen in the neigh borhood of Savannah have already set their nets in the river for the season, but the catch so far has been light. It is too early, however, to contemplate much suc cess. When the season is further ad vanced we will be better able to judge. Shad from Buck river, five miles up the river, and Fort Palaski are slowly coming into market, and bring one dollar each. Florida stood forty to seventv-flve cents. Enforcing the Revenue Laws.—Sec retary Belknap has authorized officers of the army on duty in Texas, Florida aud Georgia to loau pistols and rifles to revenue officers, and to sell them powder and shot at cost, whenever they may require the same while hunting up the illicit dis tilleries and the violators of the Internal Revenue laws. Troops also are at the command of the revenue collectors when ever desired. A Cow with Seven Hoofs.— The Colum bia (S. C.) Phoenix reports a cow in that city with seven hoofs. The animal is perfectly shaped, except that three hoofs the stump of a tail protrude from the left side of the spine, where the neck joins the body. The animal was raised in Spartanburg, and is pronounced a great curiosity by all who have seen her. Prices of Pork.— The Central Georgian says three droves of fine, fat porkers have made their appearance in Sandersville this season. The two first were readily sold out at 12jcents gross; the last is here now, sell ing off at the same price, and will perhaps all be sold before this is printed. Consid erable of the pork was bought on specula tion. River News. —The steamer Carrie ar rived at her wharf yesterday at 11 o’clock, with 105 bales of cotton on board, and will leave to-day at 12 o’clock for Savannah, with 370 bales of cotton. At three o’clock yesterday the river reg istered 5 feet 9 inches, the point maintain ed (o>*the past three days. Corrected. —A faulty memory caused us, yesterday morning, to make Mr. Cody the retiring sheriff of Warren county, under the pronunciamento of General Terry, ele vating Chap. Norris to the office. Mr. Jack Railey is the gentleman superceded by this military bantling. Recorder’s Cos urt. —Three colored youths—Henry Maun, Thomas Walker aud Sam Jones—were arraigned, yesterday morning, for violation of the 17th section— firing pistols in £lie street. Plead guilty aud each fined $3 and cost. Death of Sknor Zefcda. —This gentle man, a refugee from Cuba, savsthe Courier , who has been residing In Charleston since early last year, died Tuesday morning.— Mr. Z. had been iu ill health during the entire time ofhis stay in Charleston. He leaves a wife, and children. Colored Emigrants.— Over one hun dred colored emigrants arrived last night, by the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, destined for the West, from Vir ginia. They passed up the Georgia Pail road to Atlanta. General J. M.

Anniversary Ball.— Washington Fire Cos., No. 1, will celebrate the 76th anniver sary of their organization on the 14th of February, by a grand ball. Claim Against the Southern Express Company. —ln the United States District Court, at Savannah, on Tuesday, as we learn from the Republican, the case of O’Baunon & Bashaw vs. Southern Express Company, came on for trial before a jury: The object of this suit w r as to recover the sum of one thousand four hundred and eighty dollars, alleged to have been deliv ered to the defendants at Washington, Ga., on the 28th of May, 1867, to be carried and safely delivered by them to the plaintiffs at Louisville, Kentucky. It appeared that Sutton & Anderson, of Washington, Ga., were indebted to the plaintiffs in this case in the above named sum, which plaintiffs authorized them to transmit by the defendants, and that Sut ton <fc Anderson did deposit a package which it is alleged contained that amount of money, with the defendants, to be trans mitted to the plaintiffs, for whlcti their re ceipt, hearing date May 28th, 1867, was given in evidence on the trial of the case. Maj.'J. P. Carr, of Augusta, Solicitor for the Company, argued : 1. If the money was sent by Sutton & Anderson at their own risk, the plaintiffs in this case cannot re cover, and that it was sent at their own risk. 2. Tire receipt given by the Express Company was an express contract, by which ail the parties are bound, and that one of the stipulations in that contract was shat the defendants should either deliver the money package to the plaintiffs in Louis ville, or carry it safely only as jar as their line extended. Maj. Carr also argued that the plaintiffs cannot recover in the present form of ac tion, and that they can only recover upon the receipt, which he claimed was a writ ten contract between the parties. It appeared from the evidence that a package was received by the plaintiffs in this case, at Louisville, Kentucky, purport ing to contain one thusand four hundred and eighty dollars in money, and to have beeu sent by the Southern Express Compa ny from Washington, Georgia, but that upon opening the same it was found to contain nothing hut slips of brown paper and pieces of newspaper. Sutton testified that he placed the sum of one thousand four hundred and eighty dollars in bank bills in the package, and delivered it to the agent of the Express Company at Washington, Georgia, for which he received the receipt exhibited in court. The package was seal ed when it was delivered to the agent of the Express Company, and there was no evidence that any person, with the excep tion of Sutton, knew what it contained. Major Carr argued to the jury that the evidence warranted the belief that Sutton put no money iu the package, and that it was received by the plaintiff in the same condition in which it was when it was re ceived from Sutton, and that it had never been tampered with from the time it was received at Washington, Georgia, until it was delivered to the plaintiffs at Louisville, Kentucky. At the conclusion of the argu ment of Major Carr, which was very able, the court adjourned to Wednesday morning. Mr. Lloyd made an able argument in be half of the plaintiffs, on Wednesday, after which the presiding Judge charged the jury, who returned a verdict for the plain tiffs.

Fatal Accident.— Parties who came up from Albany yesterday, inform us that one of the performers of John Robinson’s circus was accidentally shot through the head and killed by a friend in that city on Thursday night. The two were examining a pistol, when it was accidently discharged with the above stated result. \ Macon Telegraph-Messenger. New Printing Ink. —lt i«r stated that Herr Kircher, of Constadt, Wartemburg, has invented anew printing ink, which by a peculiar process can be completely re moved from the surface of the paper, at a cost of half a dollar (one gulden) for every hundred pounds of priuted paper, and the material is then ready for use again. The inventor has already applied for a patent. A Western paper describes the manner of love-making*practiced among some of its readers in the following paragraph: “ The young people who were seen feeding each other, dove fashion, over a gate post, the other evening, had better be a little more cautious in the future.” B. H. Berry, Esq., a member of the Rich mond, Va., Bar, died in that city on Mon day. BY TELEGRAPH. FROM ATLANTA. BULLOCK ORDERS THE HOUSE TO ADJOURN TO MONDAY. GEN.

E. Bryant was called to the Chair, and spoke as follows: He thanked the meet ing for the honor conferred upon him by calling him to the Chair. This was a time when men who love their State should unite to save the State from bankruptcy and ruin. His position was well known; he had been a Union soldier; was a Northern man by birth; a Republican, dyed in the wool, he had never cast any vote but lor a Re publican ticket, and never expected to; was well known as a friend of the colored people; had battled for their rights, and now stood where he had always stood.— But this * was a time when the people should unite against the Blodgett-Bul lock faction; the contest was against men who he believed intended to rob the State; it was not a contest of Democracy against Republicanism; it was a contest of the people against bad men; he stood with the people against these bad men; he called upon all good men, regardless of color or political prejudices, to unite. 31 r. Byrant closed by advising calm ac tion. He said let ns be sure we are right and theu act prudently, but firmly.

ALABAMA. Montgomery, January 13.—The Legis lature was engaged to-day entirely on local bills. In the House, several members ex pressed indignation at the introduction of k resolution authorizing the appointment of a clerk to put in a legible and sensible shape bills for engrossing. The member introducing it stated that the Governor had often to approve bills that were dis graceful to the State, on account of the bad spelling and worse grammar. The resolu tion was defeated. There is much lobbying over railroad State aid to bills. FOREIGN. Paris, January 13.—Five thousand work men from the fouburgs passed the Boule vards in funeral procession. Many ladies iu carriages, dressed in mourning, joined the procession. RWhefort’s presence at the funeral caused great demonstrations, and frequent shouts of “ Vive le Republic ’’ oc curred at the cemetery. While Rochefort came down the Champs Eiyees with a great crowd singing the Marsellaise, a regiment dispersed the crowd. Rochefort claiming the privileges of a deputy was allowed to pass to the Chamber, wherein he arrived pale and much excited. The crowd finally dispersed without resisting the police or troops, though some arrests were made. The police and magistrates were stoned. Intense excitement exists, but no serious trouble. One hundred thousand soldiers are in Paris. The police force is largely in creased. The Marsellaise appeared as usual to-day. The tone was very violent. Rochefort’s leader says theory of yesterday was for justice, to-morrow the cry may come for vengeance. Havana, January 13.-—The steamer Severn and Monitors Dictator and Saugus arrived. marine news.

I have been a Cotton Planter for thirty years, and all the time—except this year—making “ Bumble-bee Cotton ” —the bumble bees stand on their hind feet, on the ground, and suck from the top blossoms.
