T. E. Beall, Esq., of Columbia county, a member
of the House of Representatives’ died in Milledge
villc a few days since, while in discharge of legisla
tive duty. Col. Milledge, in announcing bis death
to the House, paid a brief, though eloquent tribute
to the worth and services of the deceased. Mr. Ter
hune offered suitable resolutions, which were com-.
manicatcd to the Senate and adopted in both Houses.
Oliver Stroud, a resident of Walton county, was
lately found dead in Monroe. He had been drinking
to excess, and in climbing over a fence to- get to his
*korse, after dark, with the intention of going home,
as is supposed, be fell upon his face and died in that
position. We learn that the verdict of the jury of
inquest was “death from intoxication.”
A duel was lately fought near Dallas, in Paulding
county. The parties were Wiley Jones and William
B ua, relatives. They fought with rifles and fiml
tbrw times. Jones was slightly wounded by the
jtr.--t two shots, after which he rushed upon his an
tagonist and tried to knock him down with his rifle.
In tois he failed, however, and had his brai?i3 beaten
out by Bane. Jones died immediately, and Bano es
caped.

Columbus, a quarrel ariose between John Chisholm,
tin- young man who was recently held to bail on a
charge of purloining valuable letters from the post
office, and John Wood, bar-keeper at the Hotel.—
M ood is said to have thrown Chisholm on the floor,
and in this posture the latter drew a pistol and shot
him through the body. Mood is very dangerously, ;
if not mortally wounded. Chisholm has been ar- I

‘V o regret to state (say s the South Carolinian,)
that the exercises of the South Carolina College are
for the present suspended. We had intended, when
tiff- excitement passed off, to give a full account of
the late unfortunate difficulties, but wc refrain from
doing so, as the case will undergo legal investigation.
This being the case, it is manifestly improper to give
any detail of the occurrences.
The exercises of the College will be resumed on
the 12th inst., with a full Faculty, Prof. Rivers and
Prof. LeCompte having accepted the appointments
by the Board.
last Friday evening, says the Charleston | <
Mercury, a number of the prisoners in the jail, who i
- allowed the privilege of walking about the build-1
ing and yard, among whom are the Elliott-street run- j
ners, commenced quarrelling among themselves, and •
ended in a general fight. On Mr. Milligan, the Jail
er, attempting to put a stop to it, ho was availed by
George Himtnons, of the runners, who drew a knife
and attempted to stab him. Mr. Milligan warned
him to keep off or he would shoot him, but Simmons
persisted, in attacking him, when he drew a pistol
and fired, the ball taking effect in Simmons’ left
shoulder; this put an end to the. fight, and the par
ties engaged in it were secured in the cells. Sim
mons, we understand, was walking about yesterday.
Jgp’The cost of making a ship canal over tho Isth- j
mus cf Darien, to unite the Atlantic, and Pacific *
oceans, is estimated at only $145,407,042. Taking i
oth r contracts as the rule, we should think two hun- •
dred millions would be a reasonable estimate. The !
whole distance is one hundred and twenty-five miles.
The wnv is so rocky that the cost of excavating and
tunnelling is put down at $150,000,000.
ISTA nothef Conferance has been held at Copen

the representatives of Prussia, France, Sweden, and
six other delegates from the Germanic States, were
present. On this occasion the Danish plenipotentia-.
rv laid upon the table several documents requested
attbe previous meeting b\ the members of the Con

Bishop Pierce.
Wc tind i(i the New York Commercial Advertiser,
ffte following notice of the sermon preached a few
. Jays ago by this eminent divine at Newark, New
•Jersey :
U3 o'clock there was a second service, and tho
K„*v. Bishop Pierce, of Georgia, preached. It whs a
-Yruio.D which those present will not soon forget.—
His subject was. “Faith, hope, charity,” and vell&nd
eloquently did the reverend gentleman illustrate and
enforce his several topics. Immediately after the el
oquent divine had concluded, a collection and sub
scription were taken up, which added about. $2,000
to the amount received in the morning. The build- ]
ing was crowded to its utmost capacity. F.very spot
both above and below, wherever standing room could
be obtained, was occupied; but although the crowd
was great, and many were inconveniently pressed,
the most unbroken attention prevailed throughout.
One pleasing feature of the afternoon exercise was
tint ten persons subscribed each SIOO, to constitute
* Bishop Pierce a “life member of the church.”
Marriage Extraordinary.
gThe Eagle, published at Maysvifie, Kentucky, says:
“••‘ln Bracken county, Kentucky, Esquire Schoolfield
recently united in marriage a boy aged fifteen ymre,
weight serenty pounds, to a lady aged twenty-one
years and weighing one hundred and Jlfly pounds.
In the same house, at another time, by another mag
istrate, the father of the afotesaid youthful bride
was married to a younger sister ofth efai
bride. The old roan was sixtv-five and the girl was
Seventeen years old. The boy husband is brother
in-law to his father, and the old man’s wife is step
mother to her brother-in-law. The house where
these marriages occurred is a little cabin constructed
of round logs, and located in a deep hollow between
two lofty hills, where the sun is visib'e only four
hours during each day.”

Match between an English Mare and an
Arabian Horse,
j An interesting race was run recently at Cairo, be
: tween an English mare and an Arab horse belonging
t to Ilaleen Pachn, when the former beat the latter.— _
: The length of the race was eight miles, the time occu
! pied by the mare eighteen and a half minutes, over
a rough, gravelly, and sandy road. The same race
| has hoen offered for the last two years against all
England, for 10,000 sovereigns, with the same horse
i and not accepted. The Egyptian princes are now
] convinced that their Arabs can be beaten by English
\ horses. The late Viceroy Abbas Pacha had offered
i to stake any amount up to 150,000f. on his own
i horses, against any others that might be brought to
i run.
Avery Important Case.
Thie Washington Star says: One of the most im
j portant cases ever brought up for adjudication by the
| Supreme Court is now being tried before that august
! tribunal—No. 01, Drea Scott, plaintiff in error, vs.
i John F. A. Sanford. Mr. Montgomery Blair, for the
1 plaintiff in error, and tho Hon. Messrs. Geyer and
i Beverly Johnson for the defendant in error. The
i points particularly in issue arc, first, the right of cit
! izens of slaveholding States to carry their slaves into 1
I non-slareholding States for a temporary sojourn :
there, without tho loss of their right of property in ‘
; such slaves; and next, tho constitutionality of the 1
■ Missouri compromise, as involved in the question of ’
j the right ot Congress to legislate with reference to
i slavery in L'nited States Territories.
Vesuvius, Rome and Geology.
Prof. SilUnian recently delivered a lecture in Lou
j isvilh, in the course of which ho gave quite an inter
| esting sketch of a visit paid by him to Mount Vesu
* vius. Despite the fate of tho cities of Herculaneum
i and Pompeii, the sides of tho mountains are at this
| time inhabited by 300,000 people, who look not to
| the past, but sleep in fancied security upon the lava
j beds which entombed villages beneath their feet.—
j Vesuvius had been raised from the sea, ho said, as
had also all the region round about Rome. Dormant
volcanoes encircled tho Eternal City. The soil was
composed of volcanic ashes. The ancient Catacombs
had been cut through this until'thev had reached to
the mouth of the Tiber, in endless iabjTinttis. That
below this deposit of ashes was formation containing
marine fossil shells, and, still deeper, one containing
frosh water fossils. The subject, the lecturer said,
was too vast for one short discourse—that the mind
was lost m endeavoring to comprehend it. The re
sults could only have been brought about through
endless ages of time—that the Genesis account of
creation, taken literally, was entirely too short, but
that geology in no wise conflicted with scripture, on
the contrary, every successive discovery in that sci
ence proved the correctness of the Mosaic accounts.

Adulterous Elopement in High Life.
There has been a great excitement at Toulon, Illi
nois, in consequence of Mr. A. Moncrief, a married
man, having eloped with the wife of Mr. William
Rose. The flight of the guilty pairtook place on the
224 of January. Moncrief had held the station of
magistrate and several other offices in the town, and
last fall was the Democratic candidate for the Legis
lature, and he, as well as Mr. Rose, was much respec
ted. Ho left on amiable wife and young boy, and
his wife is almost frantic with grief. Moncrief had
all along pretended to be the friend of Rose, and both
i were Masons, Moncrief being master of the Lodge.
| Mrs. Rose, who is a very handsome woman, and was
1 a member of the Baptist church, left three daughters
; behind and took her little son with hor. She man
j aged to have her husband absent at night that she
! might the better be able to consummate her adulter
ous and wanton plans. She broke the crystal out of
her husband’s gold w atch, that he might be obliged
to leave it behind for her to steal. She rifled his
drawers, and took, besides a quanty of gold, all the
valuable property about the house of a portable na
ture. Moncrief had collected all the public money
he could in his official capacity, and carried it w ith
him, and swindled his business creditors to a consul
erable amount Both the guilty parties had been
married for more than ten years, and had circulated
in the best society. Tho most impudent part of the
whole affair is that tho wanton hussy, Mrs. Rose,
left a letter behind for her sister, in which, after bid
ding an everlasting adieu to her friends, she—the
heartless adulteress— “hope* to meet her in heaven .”
A Pair of Insane Lovers.
We loam from one of our Ohio exchanges, that
in the Lunatic Asylum at Colurr bus, Ohio, is a pair
of insane lovers. Mental anxiety of a peculiar char
acter is supposed to have deranged the intellect of
the young man, who was sent to the Asylum :x>nie
time ago, cuTed, it was hoped, permanently, and
Bent home. \\ hile at homo he fell deeply in love
with a young girl, who returned his devotion, and
they became tenderly attached to each other. But
unhappily, the malady returned upon the young man;
he was separated from the object of his love and sent
back to the Asylum. Left, to herself to muse upon
her bereavement, and the sad destiny of her lover,
j the minu ol the girl became also affected, almost ns
it might stern, from sympathy—and it was not long
before she too, was immured within the walls which
sheltered him. They arc both there now. Occa
sionally they seem to have recovered their rou on,
and are permitted to hold intercourse with one an
other. In one of these, tho poor girl begged bar
lover to marry her, but he replied, with a melancholy,
real enough to bring tears from the listeners, “You
know wo cannot be married Elli n, wc are unfit for
that happiness—poor, unfortunate creatures that we
are!”

OBITUARY.
Oh! wherefore mourn Uie lovely dead,
The spirit freed from earthly dross ?
Tears?—then be they not unminprled shed—
Tor this, to us, is common loss!
Died, in Jasper county, Ga., on the 21st of Janua
ry last, Martha Alice, only daughter of Mary An;
•nd William G. Smith, aged one year, four month
and eighteen day s.
“So fades the lovely, blooming flower,
Frail, smiling solace of an hour;
So soon our transient comforts fiv,
Ami pleasure only blooms to die.”
With Christian humiliation the bereaved moth ”
committed the keeping of her only darling to th
care ofHim who said “suffer little children to coin
unto me, and forbid them not,” and in the same yield
mg spirit would say, she is
“Gone to God!
Be still, my heart! what could a mother’s prayer,
In all ts mildest ec4acies of hope.
Ask for its darling like the bliss of Heaven?”
Died, at bis residence in this county, on the it!
inst., Redding Jarrel, in the 90th. year of his age.
The deceased was a native of‘North Carolina, bu’
removed thence in early life, and had been a citizei
of Georgia for more than half a century. Enjoyim
almost uninterrupted good health, and blessed wit!
a strong constitution, he was, through life, a man o>
great activity, and up to the lime of his death wa
possessed of uncommon bodily vigor. He lived to
an age which few are ever allowed to attain,.and sae
most of the companions of his early years, and sev
eral of his children precede him to “that undiscover
ed country from whose bourne no traveller returns.’
Thus one by one are rapidly passing away those aged
sires who witnessed the days “which tried men’s
souls,” and soon there will he no living oracles left to

Holloway’s Pills, an untailing Remedy for
all disorders of the Chest and Lungs.—Oliver Thomp
son, of Little Falls, New York, was certainly in a
most deplorable state of health ten weeks ago; his
lungs, so the doctors told him, were completely gone,
his chest, and in fact his body generally, had scare*-

addition to this, he had a cough which cotnpkteh
shook him to pieces (these are his own words) ; In
has just called on Professor Holloway !o inform him
that all these complaints have been removed by Hol

did in his life. These Pills will readily remove <ll

“The world is full of poetry —the air
Is living with its spirit; and the waves 1
Dance to the music of its melodies
And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af
fections, which are home upon the gilded wings of
Cupid’s messenger, in the form.of a Valeline, tosome
fair friend breathing the puii sent rnents of friend
dsip. esteem, and all the kindlier regards for those to
vhom we donate. It may, perchance, he received
with silent approval, told only by the fair face,
“Whereeloquent bin-lies burn and fide,
Rich with the wealth of warm emotion ;
Or starry dimples mock the shade.
Like jewels in a restless ocean.”
Valentinos are the ambassadors of thought, where
language fails. They substitute, in ghnv.ngeloquenee,
the reading of the heart, by’ their symbolic meaning
Faithful to my trust, as a se vent of the public I
am doing ad in my power to further ihe interests of
those youths and maidens who are suffering from an

A GOOD SPECULATION!
If>FFER FOR SALE, thi valuable TRACT
of LAND, lying on Beaver-dam Creek, in Han
cock countv, readily recognized as having recently
belonged to R. Burnley, Esq. It contains 1050 acres,
more or less, about 150 cleared, the rest in the woods,
and L hazzird nothing in saying, that some of this
land is as good as any to be found in the county.—
There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well
adapted to the growth of corn and cotton.
But to any one wishing to engage, in the Lumber
business, this place offers rare inducements. There
is a good SAW MILL, with excellent water privileges
on the premises, and by a small outlay in fixing up
the dam, nny one of industry tnay soon realize the
amount paid for the place. There are also, two sets
of Mill Stones, which is an inducement to any one
wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House
with several Negro Cabins slant! near by, for the ac
commodation of a millet and hands.
The market for lumber is good. The mill is two
-niles from Powelton, ten from Sparta, and six from
Mayfield. Public roads pass by the the mill to each
N.f these places, which bring them in direct commu
* mention. The route surveyed for the Rail Road from
VV inert ton and Milledgeville is but a short distance
from the line of the land, and if it is built, will make
the tract almost invaluable. I wi-h to Sill the whole
in a bo !y, ljut if desired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers* Several elligible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As I am too far gp oved to make these lands avail
able, my residence oeing in the Southern portion of
the St.te, i am determined to sell, and I promise am
one in want, of such a place, that by applying to nm
early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, eith
er for theii own use or for speculation.
