year, and ifie first Monday in June and December of each year thereafter. 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. Sunday evening, in the Oglethorpe House, at 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 rested. j J-iPThe Peace conference was to open on the 21st j February. It is said that Austria and France desire j the admission of Prussia to the conference but that s England refuses-her consent. - i * irSPThc appointment of Mr. Shannon as Govern* ! or fcf Kansas was confirmed by the Senate, after a t warm debate. The vote strictly a party one. There ! were twelve votes in the negative. During the ses- • sion an ineffectual effort was made to conduct the ; discussion with open doors. rumor thut the President had determined j to dismiss Mr. Craropton immediately, and that a ; letter for that purpose had been written, is entirely j unfounded. The ultimate determination of the ad-! ministration on that subject may depend on the tenor of the next foreign advices, unless Mr. Crampton is j pre vi o u sly wil h and raw n. ‘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 hagen on the question of the Sound Dues, nt which 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 ference relative to the receipts during the last ten w* r.~. Ho also made anew proposition to the meet ing, which was sanctioned by his Government, viz : that they would take the sum of HR,000,000 thalers as compensation for their interest in the Sound Dues. 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.” American Convention—Fillmore Nomina*! ted for President ‘ • Philadelphia, Feb. 25.—The American National j Convention adjourned fine die last night, after hav ! ing nominated Millard Fillmore, of New York, as | tt,cir eandidatefor President, and A. J. Donalson, of ■ Tennessee, for Vice-President Mr. Fillmore receiv ! the nomination on the second ballot, receiving 175 j votes to 24 for George Law, 14 for Rainer, of North s Carolina, and 13 for Judge McLean. The notnina ■ tion was afterwards made unanimous by she Con ; vention. - 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. — Balt. American. 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!” Jgticwuu |-#"A lady of Northampton county, N.

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 tell the hi; torv of those timo3.

March 8-9 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*- ly an atom of flesh on it, so thin had he become. In 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 loway’s Tills, after he had used them for seven week - and two days, and he now feels better than ever he did in his life.

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 miction of the heart.

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.
