The health of Judge Green still continues poor, so much so as to render him unable to hold our Court next week. Judge Powers, of the Macon Circuit, has kindly tendered his services to hold the Court, and therefore all persons interested will take due notice that Spalding Superior Court will commence its Spring Term next week. Mr. Filfraore and the Missouri Com promise. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise is now the principal issue which divides the South and her enemies. There cannot, in our opinion, be fouud in all this broad Republic, stretching from Ocean to Ocean,and from the Lakes to the Gulf, one sin gle open and avowed enemy of the South and her rights who is not opposed to the Kansas and Ne braska Bill, by which the Missouri Compromise was repealed. Hence we assume that a very pro per test, to be applied to the aspirants for public honors at this time, i3 their friendship or hostility to the above named measure. We set down every man who is opposed to this bill, as an enemy to the South. We hold the doctrine to be true, that when a valuable “boon” is proffered to an individ ual cr community, whosoever attempts to wrest that boon from that individual, or that community, is an enemy. Mr. Fillmore is opposed to the Kansas and Nebraska Bill, and therefore cau be set down as no reliable friend to the South. Hear him in his Rochester speech, delivered a few days ago.- He said, “Good faith as well as the peace of the country, seemed to require that a compromise which had stood for more than 30 years, should not be wantonly disturbed.” Asa sequence, its restoration, in his opinion, would bring peace to the country. Furthermore, he said in the same speech in reference to the repeal of the Missouri restriction, “It mu3t be borne in mind that this measure originated with a Northern Senator, arid was sanctioned by a Northern President. I do not recollect that ever a petition from a Southern State solicited this repeal, and how could Southern Members of Congress refuse a boon thus offered by the North to the South.” Yes, a boon to the South tendered by the North, and yet Mr. Fillmore is opposed to it, and no doubt for the very reason it was a boon to the South. Hear him in reference to the uature and effect of this measure, we mean the repeal of the Missouri restriction. Ide says in his Rochester speech, “ This repeal seems to have been a Pandora's box, out of which have issued all the political evils which now afflit the country, scar cely leaving a hope behind.” From his indorse ment of the Philadelphia Platform In Jiis letter of acceptance and his Rochester speech, we have no room left to doubt his deadly hostility to the prin ciples of the Kansas and Nebraska bill, including the repeal of the odious Missouri restriction His Southern supporters may endeavor to blink the issue, but their efforts will be in vain They must either take position against Kansas or against Air. Fillmore. They cannot sustain both, and preserve their consistency. So far as this great leading question of the day is concerned (we mean the Kansas question) Mr. Fillmore ought not to be any more acceptable to the South than Mr Fremont, both are our enemies in this particular and both ought to be repudiated by the friends of the South. Mr. Fillmore knows very well that he cannot depend on the friends of the Kansas bill for one single vote North of Mason & Dickson’s line. They are all for Buchanan. Hence his Phillipics against this measure, hoping thereby to secure the votes of the Anti-Nebraska men of the North 7 Save iis from such political corruption. Messrs. Foster ami Trippe. When the bill for the admission of Kansas as a State into the Union was before the House, a few days since, Mr. Dunn proposed an amendment pro viding for the restoration of the Missouri restric tion. On the question to receive the amendment, the Southern members in a body voted against it. The names of Messrs. Foster and Trippe are found among the nays. A question now arises as to the coarse of these gentlemen in regard to the pend : ng Presidential election. Will they support Mr. Buchanan and the Kansas and Nebraska measure ? Or will they take sides with Mr. Fillmore and the enemies of that measure ? In these days of polit ical degeneracy, it is difficult to account for the ex travagancies and inconsistencies of a certain class of politicians, and hence Messrs. Trippe and Fos ter when acting under the sanctions of an oath, are constrained to vote for a great Southern mea sure, yet when” freed from such obligations, and obeying tfce behests of party drill and political pre judice, may vote for men who are directly opposed to that identical measure. If the repeal of the Missouri restriction was wrong. Messrs. Foster aod Trippe should have availed t themselves of eve ry opportunity to vote for its restoration. If it was right, they should use their efforts to sustain the men who are opposed to its restoration. Will they obey the dictates of party, or the promptings •f patriotism ? We shall sec. Air Fillmore and the Compromise .Measures. In his letters and speeches since his nomination, Mr. Fillmore att mpts to keep prominentlj before the. people, the idea that he was the gnat erabody inent ot the Compromise of 1850—that this was the crowning glory of his administration, and that the chief honor of this measure should be accredit ed to him. Now let us see how much justice there is in the pretensions set up by this aspirant foi Presidential honors. In his iate speech at Roches ter, he says, “Those measures usually caked the compromise measures of 1850, were uot in all re spects what I could have desired, but they were the b33t that could be obtained after a protracted discussion that shook the Republic to its very foundation, and I felt bound to give them my official approval.” He leaves us in doubt as to what the deficiency in these measures were which made them “not in all respects what he could have desired.’ This we are left to infer from his ante cedents and subsequents. His antecedents may be learned from his Erie Letter, in which are contain ed anti-slavery doctrines suited to the rankest free soiler in all New England ; and his subsequents may be found in the tame, feeble, and inefficient manner in which he executed the fugitive slave law. Hence wc are justified in the presumption that his chief objection to the compromise bill of 1860 : consisted in that feature which provided f or the rendition of runaway slaves to their owners.--’ This was all the South got by the compromise measures, and if we are right in our deductions as to his grounds of objection to these, we should be glad to know upon what basis he founds his clai ms to Southern support. Dr. Homer VirgiJ Mario Miller. It was our good or ili fortune to be present at a glorification meeting f Know Nothings, in At lanta, on Wednesday night last. A large number of the delegates to the great pow wow in Macon, arrived in the cars, just after dark, and immediate ly repaired to the City Hall, where a large num ber of the citizens of the place had assembled to listen to a harangue from the great Demosthe nes of the mountains alias the gentleman who bears the above long string ot distinguished names. It was the first time we had ever heard the Rev. gentleman* and although we hud formed the idea, from information, that he was a bitter and vindic tive partisan, yet we were not prepared to hear such an effusion of low, scurrilous declamation us he uttered on that occasion Asa specimen of his effort, he made an argument against Mr. Buchan an on the ground that he was a “Ouchelor,” and uttered a severe philipie against bachelors in gen eral, and declared that they ought not to be al lowed the right of suffrage, lie entered into’ a minute description of Mr. Buchanan’s person, us ing such chaste and elegant terms as “crook-neck.” “cock-eye,” &c., and contrasted his general ap pearance with the beautiful personel of Mr. Fill more. This is the first time we ever knew the personal defects or beauties of a candidate for a high, responsible office, to be used as an argument for or •against his election. But su h was the course of this distinguished (?) orator on this occa sion. 11 is speech in this particular was not sim ply ridiculous, but to every man of nice feelings, ought to have been disgusting. His whole elfort was a string of at! captandu/n declamation, without argument, and only calculated to excite prejudice and arouse party feeling. We thought, at the time, that it was a great pity that such natural oratorical powers, should be prostituted to such base purposes. The gentleman posseses a good voice, has a fine flow of words, and graceful action, all of which go very far towards making up the popular stump orator If the gentleman has brains a very essential element in the composition of a good oratur, he exhibited ltttle evidence of it on the occasion of which we are speaking. Ilis speech, however, has given the clue to the tactics of the Fillmore party in the present campaign.— Desperate cases, require desperate remedies, and the opposition will doubtless resort to every means to sustain their sinking cause. Fillmore Convention. A body representing the Fillmore and Donald son interest in Georgia, convened in Macon, on Tuesday, the Bth inst. Sixty three counties out of 119, were represented by about .'IOO delegates, ov er one hundred of whom, came from live counties. Dr. 11. V. M. Miller presided, assisted by a Vice President from each Congressional District. An Electoral ticket was nominated, and a set of reso lutions adopted, declaring the principles upon which they intended to act; these, however, are let down zeveral pegs below the high position assumed last year by the Know Nothing party, in fact, to a superficial observer, it uever would be suspected from read : ng the resolutions, that they emanated from a party, who, less than 12 mouths ago, ap peared to apprehend the capture of our citadel of liberty by our foreign born population and the Pope of Rome. If our Know Nothing fellow-citi zens go on improving as they have for the last few months, they will get to believe that the Catho lies and foreigners are pretty clever fellows. The idea of nominating Fillmore and Donaldson, was, to say the least of it, rather out of the ordinary course of political movements. We thought Fill more and Donaldson were nominated last Februa ry, by a professedly national party If the Macon Convention thought by making an independent nomination, to evade the responsibility of affiliat ing with the advocates ol the Philadelphia plat form, they will find themselves mistaken. Mr. Fillmore takes the Platform,'and his supporters must take him and his avowed principles together. The people of this country have not yet forgotten the old but true maxim, that *it is as well to eat the Devil’s meat as to drink his broth.” The King Family. This interesting company of .Musicians, under the management of Dr. Joseph W. Adams, for merly of Henry county, Ga., contemplates visiting our city in a few days, for the purpose of entertain ing our citizens with their extraordinary skill in vocal and instrumental music. A friend writes us that they have recently been •‘astonishing the na tives” in South-Western Georgia, with their won derful performances. Their Family consists of five, the eldest fifteen—the youngest “Six years of age. I hey arc native Georgians, and therefore should have Sf fair trial before they are opt down among the n a tuber less Immbugs which are passing through the Country, iron! other quarters. Death of Alexander McDougald. This gentleman died at his residence in Colum bus, on Thursday, 10th inst. Col. M. was for sev eral years a member of the Georgia Legislature, in which he occupied a prominent position. He had attained to a high degree of eminence in the legal profession, and as a criminal lawyer, he bad few equals, and no superiors at the Georgia Bar. No War n itli England. After all. we arc to have no war w ith England on account of the dismissal <sf Mr. Crumpton. — Serious apprehensions were'entertained by some, that the BritDh Ministry, feeling the dignity of their nation insulted by the dismissal of their ar rogant Minister, would resent the indignity by the dismissal of the A mericau Minister, Mr< Dallas.- But it seems that wiser counsels prevailed. Thu’ a portion of the British Press tried to lash the public mind into a fury—though some of the lead ers of the t Cabinet felt indiguant the supposed outrage, yet they were compelled to yield to the dictates ot interest, and a regard for the public tranquility. Even Queen Victoria herself, it is said, interposed hsr authority to bridle the intem perate rage of some of her Ministry. This unex pected turn of affairs in our relations with Great Brittian, will, no doubt, create some disappoint ment among- the Crowned Heads of Europe. It WO uld be gratifying to a number of them to see the two greatest Powers of the civilized world embroil ed in bitter strife. They are prompted to this de sire by feelings of envy and jealousy, and hence their disappointment at witnessing the approach ing adjustment of all matters of controversy be tween the two great Commercial Powers of the world. The course adopted by the Brittish Gov ernment in reference to the Crumpton affair, gives evidence of a determination on the part of that Government to preserve amicable relations with ours, and leaves no room to doubt the easy and pa cific adjustment of all matters of controversy be tween the two Governments, in reference to Cen tral American affairs. ± The Fillmore Electoral Ticket. Below we give the names of ihe Electoral ticket made by the Know Nothing Convention, on Wednesday last, in Macon. Considering the ma teriel out of which they had to select, it is a pret ty fair ticket—the best that they could do. The men who are thus brought into the ,field, though not of a very high order of talents, are working men, and will no doubt do all that can be done to sustain their feeble cause. We have uo fears of the result in Georgia. Our only effort should be to make qur majority so completely overwhelming as to drive the opposition from the field with such a complete route a3 will forever prevent them liom rallying their scattered forces again.

Gentlemen : I have received your letter of ihv 13th iust., giving me official information’ oi ui) nomination by the Democratic National von voli tion lor the office ot Vice President ol tin. United States. 1 feel profoundly grateful to the Democ racy for this distinction, so far above my morns and expectations, and accept the nomination, with the pledge tnat if it should result in imposing on me any public duties, I shall exept whatever power I possess to discharge them with fidelity. The Convention wisely selected for the first place in the Government an eminent Statesman, whose character and pubic services furnish a guar antee that his administration will command confi dence at home and respect abroad. The platform adopted by the Convention has my cordial approval. 1 regard it as the only basis on which the Union can be preserved in its origi nal spirit. Adopted, as it was, by the unanimous votes of the delegates from all the States, it shows that amidst the distractions of the times, there re mains one united and powerful organization whose common principles extend over every foot of terri tory covered by the Federal Constitution. After the recent repeated and deplorable failures of oth er parties to present to the country a national or gauization, we may justly congratulate the States upon the unanimity which marked the proceedings of the Democratic Convention ; and the patriot may point to the fact, as a pledge of constitutional union, Miat the delegates from Maine and Texas, from South Carolina and California, were as thor oughly united upon every question of principle, as those from the neighboring Southern States of Tennessee and Kentucky, or those from the neigh boring Northern States of Wisconsin and Michi gan. L’uis com nunity of sentiment, this feeling of brotherhoud, gives hope of perpetual Union. It has been the happy fortune of the Dertfocratic Tar ty, by adhering to the Constitution, which was made to protect us ail, to avoid the geographical arltUsectioual.issues against which Wasliii g?< n so lemnly warned his countrymen ; an i we have eve ry reason to believe that it is yet equal to the high duty which now devolves on it of preserving the Constitution, and maintaining Wie rights of every portion of the Confederacy. Ii the unsound ele ments which troubled it for a time have sought congenial associations elsewhere, the loss has been more than.supplied by accessions from the flower of the old. Whig Party ; and thus re-iufyrced, it will be the destiny of the Depcrjicy fc ’vunder the lead of their distinguished Chief, to maintafo the high position of our country before the world—to preserve the equality of every class of citizens- to protect the periect liberty of conscience—and to secure the pi ace of the Union, by rendering equal justice to every part. With sincere acknowledgements for tbd friendly personal sentiments contained in your letter, lam, respectfully, your friend and obedient servant, JOHN C. BREC KEN RIDGE. Messrs. Ward, Richardson, Hibbard, Lawrence, Brown, Manning, Forsyth, Tucker, Seymour and Preston Little Os.*.gk, Mo., June 24, 1856. IJr. M. J. Daniel, Griffin, Ga Dear Sir :******* I suppose that you have seen from the papers w/iat times there has been in Kansas for the last six mouths. It has been bad enough truly, but now 1 believe quiet reigns again, aud the laws are enforced, and probably will be for the present. There has been a great many outrages committed in Kansas by the Abolitionists. A bout 45 miles from here there was live pro slavery men taken out of tiieir houses from their families in the tight time, and deliber ately murdered in one night by a band of organized Abolitionists, to resist the laws, and the only rea son that can be imagined why they murdered these men, is to prevent them from being witnesses against these rascals. The Court for that county was to be held in a few days. Judge Cato had called for a guard of soldiers to be present at that time on account of threats against the Grand Ju ry by the Abolitionists. Thirteen of these mur derers have been arrested and await their trial.— There were 29 in the outrage ; the others have ran off, but they may yet be taken. Many of the Abo litionists have left the Territory since the arrest of some of their leaders on the charge of treason, and many against whom there is indictments, have run off. There is a good many of the pro slavery party that have left the Territory also, and moved into our State on account of the excitement and unsafely of persons aud property there. Emigra tion has been checked pretty much from all quar* ters to the Territory of Kansas ; but as the laws now Are enforced, and probably will be, unless the Abo.itionists should succeed in obtaining control of the Government by electing their candidate for President, which I hope will never be, for then a dissolution of our Union would inevitably follow, and of course a civil war would be,the result, and the end of all our happiness. The South must send emigrants to Kansas sufficient to keep control of that Territory, and then defeat the Abolitionists in the Presidential election, and then I should think things Would quiet down once more, and I would hope forever. The only chance for the Ab oiitionisls to succeed in their schemes iu the Presi dential election, will be iu a failure to elect by the people, and thus throw the election into the House, and then I fear they would succeed as they did for pouker. i think all national men ought to unite on Mr. Buchanan everywhere, North and South, East and vV, st, and all parties. Missouri will vote for Buch anan, and 1 think the whole South will, but how many free States will, it is now hard to tell. Was it nut for the American candidate and party, no doubt Mr. Buchanan’s election would be quite safe -1 expect to have rather a warm time among the fa aiics iu the North this summer—do not an ticipa e great happiness, but possibly may rob the scales from some of their eyes so that they can see tilings iu their proper light, and see that we have rights, and that we intend to defend them if forced to do 60 We have had an unfavorable season hete for the growth of all our products thus far, and now it is too lute to make good crops, even if the remainder of the season should be favorable, Mrs, B. de sires remembrance to yourself, your mother and little Sopala. I would also join ber in the senti ment. I shall make something of a stop at liindge, New Hampshire. Will you please write me there? I send you some papers that may contain some ac count of the movements in Kansas, that perhaps will be of some interest to you. I remain very truly, Your humble servant, C. D. BALI.. For the Empire State. To Young Men of GHlfiu. As the present generation is going out, as a mat ter of course others will take their places ; and as the time is approaching that there must be some one to take the Chair of the Executive, and prin cipies of vital importance to the Union are involv ed, there is no better time for the young men of Georgia to show to its citizens their position in the approaching canvass, and disapproval of the fa naticism that is at present agitating the. whole country. And as the rising generation give their opinion as the proper person to till a chair ol such responsibility to the South, or whether it shall be a man whose whole life has been one of antagon ism to the institutions of the South, and an op ponent to slavery, and who would, if elected to the Cresidency, as We infer from his speech at Alba ny, attempt to restore the Missouri Compromise, a measure that has given back to the South her long lost rights—or shall It be the man whose de votion to the Union-has no parallel, a d who has ever been true to the South and her institutions, aud a bosom friend of the immortal Jackson—“a man,” he said, “1 have the greatest reliance in as a patriot.” And as clubs and organizations are forming throughout the State for the purpose of advancing the election of Buchanan and Brecken r’dge, it would be proper for the Young Democra cy of Griffin to take some step in relation to their election, and I would suggest that someone be ap pointed for the purpose of organizing a Buchan an and Breekenridge Club.

Tub Expected Dismissal of Mr. Dallas.—A correspondent ol the New York Post, writing Irom Loudon, under date June 17th, when it was expected All. Dallas would be dismissed, says : “I was at the House lust evening, and it was a most interesting scene. The House was crowded by members and the galleries by strangers. “Lord John Russell spoke with grout serious ness, and everybody felt that it was a most impor tant crisis in the career of the race. When Palmerston arose to announce the deterrni tiou of the Ministry, the silencowas profound and the anxiety intense. At the announcement that they had determined not to suspend relations with the American Minister, there was a perfect thrill of emotion and satisfaction. So closo the Cabinet kept the matter, that when I arrived at Air. Dal las’ to congratulate him, he had not received the slightest intimation of his fate, and I had the very great satisfaction of announcing it to him and his family.” From the American Union, I Gri*~u Female College.

The folic wing’ letter from Mr. Andrew Jackson will be read with great interest throughout the country. It was prompted by no feeling of a po litical character, but from the highest sense of ho nor and justice towards the memory of his vener ated father. The scandalous use and abuse that have been recently made of the private and confi dential letters of General Jackson, thrown out in a disconnected'manner, and frequeutly by ex.racts, creating an impression foreigu from his intention, for purely partizun purposes, has shocked the sen sibilities of all right thinking people. Mr. Jackson has pursued a quiet and unostenta tious life, taking no active part in the politics of the country, farther than to discharge the duties of a good citizen He has come thus reluctantly before the pub’ic from a stern sense of duty to the memory of his illustrious father. The public will not fail to sympathise with him in the circumstan ces that have required him to do so. The only son, the heir, the ex-ecutor of Gen. Jackson, the tenant of the Hermitage, standing as it were a sentinel at his tomb, tbe duty was imperative, and he would have been unworthy of the trust he had remained longer silent. Hermitage, June 26, 1556 Gentlemen : Be kind enough to give the follow ing letter an insertion in your paper : Y\ itliin the last low weeks, several individuals, claiming to have been personal friends of General Andrew Jackson, have published letters addressed to themselves, under the seal of confidence and friendship, and are calculated to wound the feelings of many persons who stood high in the estimation of Gen. Jackson to the close of his life The ob ject of these publications is so manifestly for the advancement of petty, personal ambition, and to injure or destroy those who stand in the way of those mousing schemes, that no good motive can possibly be attributed to those who are gratifying a morbid public appetite. It seems that they are willing, for the gratification of their own passions, to raise the curtain of the past, open fires, over which the ashes have long since gathered, and de stroy, as far as their puny efforts can accomplish it, the universal veneration with which the name of Gen. Jackson is* regarded. The undersigned, as t he adopted son, executor and trusted friend of Men. Jackson, protests (most so lemnly) against the unscrupulous use of the private and confidential correspondence of his father, and he appeuls most confidently to the public to sus_ tain him in his protest. ; he himvelf wa6the reposi. tory of most of his father's private paper’s, and has never consented to the publication of any of them,, because he believes that no such addition can be made, with justice to the mem-, ory of the deceased, until the men who served with him passed from the stage ol action. It would, however, be unfair to the feelings of those who may have been touched by the extracts, or full letters from Gen. Jackson, heretfore published, to withhold the testimony of the undersigned, that up to the close ol ills lite. he entertaiued for Pres ident I oik and Hon. James Buchanan, the high est esteem aud affection. In my conversations, during his declining years, when iu the full free dom of lire side ease, he spoke freely of their emi nent services and iqoral worth ; on no occasion did lie ever intimate to his family that his confidence in tinm had abated, or his kindly feelings towards them undergone any change. It is well known, to all wno were well acquainted with Geu. Jackson, that he clung with intense pertinacity to the inter ests of those “whom he regarded as friends -as somewhat dependants, and whom he had raised up by his patronage.” These persons frequeutly (as can and might bo easily shown.) appealed earnest ly to him for assistance in advancing their own schemes and views, even to the close of his life.— Y hilst suffering under a painful, withering disease, -and earnestly pressed by every artful suggestion, he would have been more than human if lie lmd no! pcnmUe l expressions of momentary irritation to cross into private letters, and the fault of their | expression was nol in him who wrote, but rather \ in those in whom lie universally trusted, i Ihe letter of Gen. Jackson in regard to Mr. j Bach a nan, written in* February. 1815, (dated 28.) i extracts from which have been recently published, | ,s precisely one oi the character, and written un ! J'-’V ft. a circumstances above alluded to, and did not | contain any deliberate conviction of his mind, as is ! amply shown by his cordial treatment of Mr. Buch anan during his whole administration—life appoint ment to Russia—his subsequent recommendation ol him to others-—and the fi-e-side conversations with his family, to which 1 have before alluded.

I Ihe patriotic emotion of our people having | formed sutifactory Utterance in the explosion of the , largest assortment of German fireworks ever ignited this in city upon any of the squib holidays of the j year, we are as calm us au unrippled sea to-day.— The use of all heavier ordnance having been dis pensed with, we hear nothing of Dreadful accidents, j The murder of a German at a German party, by I American intruders, and a murderous assault upon, j ami severe injury to another German, on the same ! occasion, comprise the serious items in our record | of crimes yesterday. | Congress is not in session to-day. The Topeka ; bill of the House is by no one expected to pass iu the Senate, but the Senate bill is expected to pas* in the House, although a determination has been I formed, and expressed in under tones, to keep it upon the Speaker’s table. After the parage of this : bill, parties can no longer stand divided on the Kansas issue, Those who have no other bond of union than it affords must fall apart. Therefore there will be a strong effort made to prolong this issue, by preventing a vote upon the Senate bill, for it is well understood tout to let it come to a vote is to pass it. A pretext for delay is this:— the 4th of July was named as the time from which ; residence in Kansas was to date, to qualify men- j to vote upon a constitution. It is whispered j among the Republicans that a great simultaneous | de sent of Southern men upon Kansas, was to be made on the fourth; aud they propose to wait to verify the truth of this story before taking up the bill. 1 hat question, however, will be so soon solv ed that they must promptly vote or get up anew pretext. 1 he condition of Mr. Sumner has been a subject of serious concern to his friends of late, and they hae been not a littie alarmed by the expression’ ol earnest apprehension by au able physician, (not professionally engaged by him, but visiting as a triend) that the solteuiug ol the brain and an early iutul termination might be expected. An injury upon the back of the neck continues to suppurate and caunot be healed. This has been believed to involve the medulla spinalis, or marrow of the spine aud, by sympathy or continuity the medulla oblon gata, or continuation of this organ along the back ol the brain. From this a softening of the brain has been anticipated; and appearances have seemed to warrant this apprehension in the faet| that the patient has never rallied since he was first prostra ted; but has grown weak, and pale, and haggard l and old in appearance,, aud uncertain and tottering in his movements. Learning these things within the past forty-eight hours, I to-day called on a highly intelligent medi cal gentleman who also visits Mr. Sumner as a friend, aud asked his information upon the sub ject. He affirmed all the statements of facts that I had heard, but in the fears- expressed, he says that in the developemcnt of Mr. Sumner’s mind there are no indications of disease in the brain, and that it is by no means an nnfreqnent thing for a man to suffer nervous derangement and prostra tion for many months after receiving severe injn-’ ries upon the head. Impartial. . A Horrid Affair. On I’hv.rsday evening last, a voting man by the name of Thaddcus Rees, shot a woman by the name of Emma Berry, at a house of ill fame, in the lower part of this city, which caused her death in a few hours. The weapon used was a double-barrelled gun, and as she was but a short distance from Rees when he fired, the whole charge took effect in the abdomen, horribly mutilating her, and tearing the intestine so that Medical aid, which w’us prompt ly at hand, was unavailing to save her life. The Coroner’s jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts, ami also expressed the opin ion that Rees was guilty of murder. Rees imme diately made his escape, and has not been arrested up to the time of our going to press. The Mayor of the city has offered a reward of One Hundred Dollars for his apprehension. AVe sincerely hope he may be arrested, and if proved guilty of viola ting the law', that, he may suffer its penalties.—Cor ner Stone. Jenkins on Donelsom Air Jenkins’ notion of the ‘Greasy Tennes sean’ is that of nine-tenths of t lie American party of Georgia ff they would speak out can didly. He thinks some bodv else should be substituted fur the Vice Presidency, if a Fi 1- inore ticket is nominated in Georgia. We think so too. Dorn Ison is a dead weight to the ticket, and will lose Folmore 5,000 votes in the >tate. In comparison with Breckenridge Donelsun is a ‘m u ing owl’ compared with ihe umrican Eagle !
