LEGAL ETHICS. Many of our readers will readily conjec ture the authorship of the annexed com munication, which we find in the South g . Carolinian. We cannot be mistaken in attributing it to the distinguished and able professor, in our State College, who has given us a standard work on Poldical Ethics, and who has also treated this sub jteject incidentally, yet at some length, in ET' his masterly and authoritative essay on Legal and Political Hermeneutics. Many readers will concur in the earnest and de cided protest of Dr. Lieber, against the li centious doctrine of the Wisconsin Judge, and all will congratulate themselves that the general tone and practice of the Caro lina bar, as exemplified by its leading members, announce and uphold the same views of dignity and responsibility. It ► will be a sad day for the noble profession of the advocate, so signally illustrated in the course of the political progress of our race, when it degenerates into privileged slander and irresponsibility. We annex the communication, however, which explains itself and needs no com ments : The subject of legal ethics has at all times received attention. Os late sev eral works of value have touched upon in cidentally, indeed, but with candor and acumen. Your paper of last Friday con tains a short article, the very heading of which attracts at once the attention of every one who has occupied himself with -this important branch of morals. The words which head the article are: “ Law yers’ Speeches not Slanders.” Are they, indeed, not? Can they amount to slander in no case ? The whole of the article runs thus: “ Lawyers' speeches not slanders. —lt was recently decided in Milwaukee Court, by Judge Larabee, that a lawyer is not li able for an action of slander for words spo ken *in arguing a case before a jury or court. The decision was given in the case of John Jennings vs. James H. Payne; an action on the case for slander, where the defendaut had said that plaintiff‘came into the court with black peijury on his soul.’ The Judge decided though the al legations were both false and malicious, the defendant’s privilege as counsel pro tected him.” It is impossible to judge, from so brief a statement, whether the decision of Judge Larabee was correct or not, but this much is certain, that if the charge of “'black perjury” was “ false and malicious,” the judge who presided at the trial when Mr. Payne uttered it, acted undutifully and Unworthily if he permitted the words to pass without instant official reproof, and without calling the lawyer back to his le gitimate path. The judge acted legally wrong, and practically unwise. The judge, in our Anglican trlSl, is the organ of the law, and the moderator of the trial. He is the protector of all persons and of all elements pertaining to the trial. He is the protector of the law, of the jury, of the defendant, of the piisoner, of the prosecutor, of the advocate, of the witness es, and of the record or clerk. It is in this aspect that the exalted character which the Romans attributed to their judge, when they called him Judex sac rosanctissimus, belong pre-eminently to our judge; the judge of the English law. “If the judge, however, must protect all of these, it is obvious that he can as sign irresponsibility to neither. Irre sponsibility is the negation of law, and is the lawyer of all persons the one that stands beyond the pale of the law ? The advo cate has not the privilege of saying all he chooses. He cannot villify the law itself; he cannot misstate the law; he cannot wrongly quote authorities; he cannot misstate facts as they have appeared on trial, without being stopped short by the judge. And why should he have the right to misstate facts as to the character of the witness on his acts in court ? The general truth, in law and social in tercourse, that the greatest lies in irrespon sibility, would apply to the advocate. Id iots, infants, are irresponsible. A slave woman is, as to public opinion, irrespon sible in matters of chastity, and she is de graded accordingly. But the whole com munity, our body politic, is deeply inter ested in the high standing and proper protection of the advocate. Wo cannot afford seeing him degraded. In all free and institutional countries the advocate , has occupied a high position; he has done so in no despotic country, and in no dem ocratic absolutism. The standing of the advocate is one of the guages of liberty; but make the advocate irresponsible; and you degrade him. One of two things must necessarily follow so soon as it is broadly proclaimed that the lawyer may say anything and everything without being amenable to4he law, and without any pro tection being granted to the person deeply injured by him. Either the words of the lawyer lose all significance and value, so that his speech must miss its very object, or else the injured party will right himself, (as is always the case when the law denies a remedy for a substantial injury,) and knock the offender down when ho leaves the court. Who can imagine that an un punished and untrue charge of “black perjury ” will float about us as an inno .cont gossamer in the atmosphere of socie ty, and not work as a festering poison, some time or other bringing mischief to a head? The character of a gentleman is a sub ject of vital importance in legal ethics; miAhe length of these purely occasional remarks precludes an examination of Mr. Payne’s conduct with reference to this particular, and, as no doubt it would prove in his case, a very cutting test. F. Gambling in California*—The sixth California Legislature has adjourned after a session of 120 days, during which time numerous beneficial and highly popular laws have been enacted. Among these is one prohibiting gambling throughout the state, under the most stringent principles. Gambling houses are, at last, to be closed, and a practice which has gone further to ward demoralizing California at home, and in'tlie eyes of the world bids fair to be permanently eradicated from the land. Vigorous attempts, both by influence and money, have been made to procure the re peal or modification of this law, but to no purpose. Appointment by the President.--- Washington, May 35.—The Union of this morning announces the following army ap pointments: Brevet Major Sedgwick, Major of Cavalry vice McCullough declin ed. Brevet Major Geo. H. Thomas Ma for of Cavalry vice, Bragg, declined.— Brevet Major Robt. S. Garnett, Major Sth Infantry, vic* Benham, declined. The Kansas Election.—We have news of the result of the election in Kan sas, on the 22d instant, held to fill vacan cies in the Legislature In every precinct pro-slavery men have been chosen. PUTNAM AS A SPY. The follow annecdote of one of our wor thiest revolutionary patriots is full of the eccentricity which characterized the old “wolf extreminator Among the officers of the revolutionary army none, probably, possessed moreoirig inality than General Putnam, who was ec centric and fearless blunt in his manners the daring soldier, without the polish of a gentleman. He might well be called the Marion of the North, though he disliked disguise, probably from the fact of his lisping, which was very apt to overthrow any trickery he might have in view At this time a stronghold called Horse neck, some miles from New York, was in the hands of the British. Putnam, with a few sturdy patriots was lurking in the vicin ity bent on driving them from the place.— Tired of lying in ambush, the men became impatient, and importuned the General with a question as to when they were go ing to have about with the foe. One mor ning he- made them a speech something like the following which convinced them something was in the wind: “Fellows, you have been idle too long and so have I, I’m going to Bush s, at Horseneck, in an hoilr, with an ox team and a load of corn. If I come back I will let you know the particulars. If I should not, let them have it, by hoky.” He shortly afterwads mounted his ox cart, dressed as one of the commonest order of Yankee farmers and was at Bush’s tavern which was in possesion of the Britsh troops. No sooner did the officer espy him than they began to question” him as to his whereabouts, and finding him a perfect simpleton as they thought, they began to quiz him, and threatened to seize the corn and fodder. “How much do you ask for your whole concern ?” asked they. “For money sake gentlemen,’ replied the mock clodhopper, with the most deplo rable look of entreaty, “only let me off, and you shall have me hull team .and load for nothing: and if that won’t ’dew, I’ll give you my word I’ll return to-morrow, and pay you heartily for your kindness and condescension.” tfWell,” said they, “we’ll take you at your word. Leave the team and provend er with us, and we won’t require bail for your appearance. Putnam gave up the team, and saun tered about for an hour or so, gaining all the information he wished. He then re turned to his, men, and told them of the foe, and his plan of attack. The morning came, and with sailed out the gallant band The British were hand led with rough hands; and when surren dered to General Putnam the clodhopper, he scarcastically remarked: “Gentlemen, I have kept my word.— I told you I would call and pay you for your kindness, and condescension.” ATLANTA ANO THE GOOD PEOPLE THERE. We made a flying visit to Atlanta, last week, and spent an exceedingly pleasant day or two-in that most prosperous little city. It was our first visit, and much as we had heard of its thrift and growing importance, we were astonished to note the evidence of its almost magical advance ment. Ten years hence, it will be the great city of Georgia; no man need doubt that. Already it is close upon the heels of Augusta—a few years will double its population and place it beyond rivalry.— Its trade in this direction was only begin ning to develope itself when low waters suspended it: with the next rise in our river it will show itself to be immense.— Atlanta will be the great dispenser of Wes tern produce to all Georgia I A couple of us from Montgomery and one from Mobile, though altogether stran gers, were immediately upon our ai rival placed in most pleasant durance, by some of the warm-hearted people of Atlanta.— We beg to acknowledge most gratefully the hearty, cordial hospitality and un bounded courtesy of his Honor, A. Nelson, Esq., Mayor of the city, and our brethren of the press—“each and every one of them.” We felt that “it was good to be there,” with such whole-souled friends. May they speedily give us opportunity to show how much we desire to promote intimate and constant intercourse with our Georgia brethren. If we have not that icy water or that mountain breeze, we hope we are not “6eAwu?” on the warm mixtures. Our lodgings at the Trout House were most comfortable. Mr. Gage, the admira ble host, seems specially desirous to take care of his Alabama friends. We feel sure we never stopped at a hotel of which we could more conscientiously say that it is worthy of the fullest patronage. A visit to the premises of Mr Peters, the celebrated agriculturist and stock-rai ser, must form the subject of another no tice.—Montgomery Mail. DEATH OF GEN. CHAS. GRATIOT. . The friends of this gentleman were grieved yesterday to hear of his sudden death. He expired yesterday morning, after a short illness, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Charles P. Chouteau, in this city, in the 68th year of his age. General Gratiot entered the Military Academy at West Point in 1804. He re mained in the army until 1836 or ’37. He served his country with great distinc tion in the last war with England, and rose from the rank of lieutenant to a bre vet brigadier general, and at the time he left the army was at the head of the engi neer corps. A few weeks since he returned with his wife to his native city with a view qf making it his home and spending the re maining years of his life in the society of his relatives and friends. And thus, after an absence of half a century, he had bare ly time to inquire for the friends and ac quaintances of his youth, and see the few wh<? yet survived, when he is called to de part from among us. General Gratiot received ‘a fine edu cation at the Military Academy, which he improved by a life of great labor and in dustry. He was a man of excellent at tainments, and his polished manners gained for him friends wherever he went. —Nt. Louis Republican, May 19.

A NOBLE ARRAY OF NAMES. Lord Lyndhurst, that v. sterun speuk.-i in the House of Lords, now eighty two years old, lately, said, in a spe.-cu opposing the Cambridge University bill, which is intended to recognize the government oi Cambridge as at the Oxford was remodel! cd last year that he considered no reform necessary, and wound up hisaddress in the following words: “My Lords, n.> university has ever pro duced more distinguished or more extra dinary men than has the University o: Cambridge. It gave to the world the great father of inductive philosophy. Ba con, and the iiumortul Newton. It pro duced Milton, the sublitmst of poets. Spenser, the majestic Dryden Cowley. Byron, and a long line of illustrious men of our own day Among men renowned I for their knowledge of English jurispru- ! dence whom it numbered among its sous are the noble names of Coke, of Camden, of Thurlow. In the statesman who sprang from it are the sagacious Burleigh, the brilliant Walpole and that finished orator and greatest of statesmen, William Pitt. Nor in modern times has it failed to fur nish the country with a noble example of a statesman in the person of my noble frend, [the Marquis of Lansdowne,] than whom no one has shown, during his long career as a statesman and a member of your Lordship’s House; more tact, more elo quence, or more sterling good sense.— Then again, when 1 look to the Right Reverend benches, I cannot but call to minn the names of those great classical and learned men whom Cambridge has pro duced—Jeremy Taylor, Bgntley, Porson, and a long list, to repeat whose names alone would occupy a summer’s day.— Such, my Lords, is the system of instruc tion which has been followed at the Uni versity of Cambridge and which even in old times produced such glorious fruits. — Let us, therefore, be careful how we im pair the efficiency of that system by new deviced, interfering with that solid system ot education which has hitherto been fol lowed by such splendid results/’ Lord Lyndhurst is a native of Boston, Massachusetts, and son of the painter Cop ley. The English Know Nothings ought to drive Lord Lyndhurst, the great lawyer and statesman, out of Parliament, as they one were bent on driving the greatest En glish King, William the Third, from the throne, when the famous De Foe, of Ro binson Crusoe memory, wrote one of his most admirable papers against them— Col Times & Sent. Admirably Said.—During the Rev. Dr. Tying’s intemperate speech upon tem perance, the other evening, on the boards of the New York Metropolitan theatre, he called out the Rev. Drs. Spring and Ver milyea, and “the noble Bethune,” and wanted to know why they did not come up there, and bear their testimony in fa vor of the liquor law ? Being similarly called out afterwards at a meeting of the Colonization Society, held in his own church, he undertook to answer both of these appeals at once. His reply was a model one and deserves to be stamped, in letters of gold, on the back of every pulpit bible in Christendom He said: * I have naught to do with law and law making, for the sufficient reason that I am a clergyman. "My mission is not to fight —I am not sent to fight; for Christ has said, “My kingdom is not of this world, else would my servants fight.” My office is not with law, politics or the polls. I am not to enter into contention morally with my tongue, or physically with my fists, which last is much less culpable. My duty as minister forbids this. My du ty never works with the laws—it (rests on that charity which springs from God and goes toward man Let then the postherds of the earth contend—let us preach the kingdom which is not of the earth. ADVENTURES’fI?A LETTER. The Tolland county (Conn.) Gazette gives the following particulars of a curi ous affair connected with the transmission j of letters : “A letter was written and duly mailed . at the post office in this town, directed to ' a lady in New York State—the town we do not remember. Nothing was heard from it, and the writer had no means of knowing whether it reached its destination or not* Some time after one of the paper mills in this town received from Boston a quantity of waste paper &c., in bales, to be used as stock, in their manufactory.- - One of the bales was found to contain a lot of letters, with the post office stamp, in dicating that they had been mailed. “The letters.were mostly sealed, and the workmen amused themselves by open ing them. In some of them was found money, in small sums, and strange to say, one of them proved to be the identical let ter mailed in this town and directed to New York. The letter wasreturned to the writer, after having been for some months in the care of the United States Post Os- j fice Department, and at last returned to a paper mill not two miles from where it■ to be used in the manufacture of pulp.— i Now, what explanation can be given of this I matter?’’ ADDITIONAL FOREIGN NEWS. Halifax, May 25.—1 t is said that grave diflerences have taken place between the Emperor of France and his late foreign Minister in regard to the manner in which the latter acquitted himself as Plenipo tentiary at Vienna. It is said that the' Emperor expressed a strong disapproval of I the disposition which his representative at the Vienna Conference manifested to | accept dishonorable and delusive terms of I peace from Russia, and condemns M. ‘ Drouyn de l’Hvxs also as having too great confidence in the good faith of Aus tria. The ship John sailed from Plymouth with three hundred and eighty-seven emi grants for Quebec. She encountered a heavy gale from the northeast to the west ward of Eddystone light-house. The ves sel had got closer in land than the captain was aware of, and in making blockhead headland he run the ship on a dangerous reef, called Maracles. The ship’s bottom stove in, and she sunk within a few feet of the coast. The bulk of the passengers were swept off by the sea. One hundred and twenty lives were lost. Ninety-three clung to the rigging, and by the exertions of the coast-guard men were saved, among them several females and Captain Rawles. 1 A coroner’s jury has refuted a verdict of manslaughter against Capt Rawles, who is in custody.

HAVING bought the right for this city, we beg to notify the public, that we shall man ufacture them in the most substantial manner. — The Machine is so simple in its arrangement that it can lie used by a small boy, and the dispatch with which it washes a number of garments at a time, (requiring only one minute,) entirely clean, and without the usual wear and tear, re commends it to every house-keeper. It very soon pays for itself in the saving of time, besides the other advantages of saving labor and clothes from being worn out by rubbing. It is not liable to get of order, and when it docs can be quickly repaired by any Carpenter.

Pain Killer put up and sold as genuine by unprincipled men, we have been obliged to re sort to very expensive measures to protect ourselves pecuniarily, and the public from great injury, by buying and using their worthless counterfeits.— The comparative plain and simple style in which our Pain Killer has been put up, has made it very easy for those disjiosed, to imitate it very successfully, as far as its external appearance, in style of bottle, label, and color of the article; but we need not say that the compound is a misera ble, filthy production, and calculated to do great injury to those who might use it with the confi dence that they have been accustomed to use the genuine Pain Killer. Parties whose business it into counterfeit valuable preparations, do it in such u secret manner, that it is almost useless to attemp t to punish them by legal measures, as it is difficult, and we might say impossible to bring the proof home to them. Considering the great difficulty in protecting ourselves ai d the public by prosecuting parties, we have been to a very great expense in getting up a finely executed Steel Engraved Label, for our bottles. We also attach to our bottles a Steel Engraved Note of Hand, which we issue as our obligation, and to counterfeit which is held to be forgery by the laws of the United States, and whieh parties will not dare attempt to do. The great expense attending the getting up and print ing of these labels will prevent the attempt to counterfeit, thus securing to the public that the article they purchase is the genuine Perry Davis' Pain Killer, manufactured by Perry Davis & Son, Sole Proprietors. The Pain Killer will be put up in a new style and panel bottle, with the words, Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer, blown in the glass. We have discontinued the 37) cent bottles anil now put up only four sizes, viz.—12) cents 25 cents, 50 cents, and sl, per bottle. We have also a very fine Engraving on Stone, for the Box labels, specifying the contents of the box, where and by whom manufactured, &c.— We have also added to our Pamphlet of directions and certificates, a cover beautifully finished, pre senting on the first page a very excellent likeness of Perry Davis, the original inventor of the Pain Killer. The bottle labels, and one label on each, box has also a correct likeness of Perry Davis, which it will lie impossible to counterfeit success fully. We have been to this expense, that the public might have perfect confidence that they were get ting the genuine article when they buy a bottle as above described. To those who have been so long used and proved the merits of our article, we would say, that we shall continue to prepare our Pain Killer of the best and purest materials, and that it shall be every way worthy of their appro bation as a family medicine.
