The Homicide in Sparta. “
Many incorrect accounts have been reported and
published relative to the unfortunate difficulty in
Sparta, which terminated in the death of Mr. Gard
ner. A friend who has an opportunity of learning
I tiie facts, lias kindly furnished us with the follow
| ing correct statement:
“The peace of our community was much disturb
ed on Tuesday morning last, and gloom still per
vades our midst, caused by the violent death of
Mr. Burton R. Gardner, lately a resideutofour town,
but more recently of Mifledgeville. The circum
stances attending his death, as far as I • can learn,
are these: Mr. Oliver J. Powell went immediately
after breakfast, by appointment with the deceased,
to the Carriage shop of Messrs. H. B. & B. R. Gard
ner, to have a settlement of an account which he
held against the firm; in the course of the settle
ment, an altercation arose between him and the
j Messrs. Gardners, when blows ensued, Mr. Powell
! being knocked down cried “murder” loud enough
to be heard by Mr. C. C. Skrine and Mr. John H.
Saunders, who were at work in the Carriage shop
of Messrs. Powell & Skrine, across the street. They
immediately ran to his relief, and upon entering the
shop found Mr. Powell upon the floor and both of
the Gardners on him. They succeeded in pulling
them off, when a general struggle ensued, that is
between Skrine and Saunders and the Gardners.
Mr. Powell, in .the meantime, having recovered
from the floor and the deceased having freed him
self. made at Mr. Powell v. ith a piece of dressed
timber, and struck him, inflicting a severe wound
upon his head. Mr. Powell reeling drew a revolver
and shot him three times, one shot entering the
left breast, struck a rib, and glanced into the right
lung, causing death immediately.
Mr. Horace B. Gardner, Sen., was severely cut in
; the left arm, but is, I understand, recovering.
Mr. Powell was immediately arrested by the Sher
iff, and yesterday had his trial for commitment be
fore Judge Thomas of the Superior Court. Messrs.
Stephens & Johnson and T. C. Aiidas, Esq., were
engaged for the defence, and Judge Cone and C.
W. Dußose, Esq. for tho prosecution, the trial last
ed from 11 o’clock ir’ the morning to 9 at night,
when Mr. Powell was set at liberty upon his giving
bond of $2,500 for his appearance at the August
term of our Superior Court.
Mr. Saunders is also under arrest, charged with
having stabbed Mr. 11. B. Gardner, Sen, I regret
to write of so sad an affair, occuring in our commu
nity, generally so quiet and peaceful.”

A Splendiferous Treat.
We were served, a few morningssince, in a “hos

ble and generous Lady citizen, Mrs. A. B. Sharpe,
filled with tho choicest fruits, consisting of a saucer
of delectable strawberries, fine apples, juicy oranges,
splendid bananas, and spungy pound cake. We
say hostile, for we became a great enemy to ourself,
and came nigh unto committing suicide by “over

. A Sweet Bouquet.
Oh, that lovely posy from*Washington ! while we
write, its soft aroma regales our olfactory nerves, and
the daintiness of its flowers infllamcs our soul with
poetic eloquence; just only listen to our muse,
Sweet, lovely, and cherished nosegay,
In the blushing tints of thy ruddy flowers
t see pictured in beauteous array,
My loved , sweet enough fbr angelic bowers.
O, delectable, heaven-born roses !
The power of thy richly perfumed essence
Upon the mind, through ray nose is
Nearly as distracting as her enchanting presence.
Did you ever receive a Bunch of flowers from
your Dulcinia? If not, go and get her to send you
a bouquet, and it will make you feel good , I imag
ine. It operates upon the troubled and doubting
soul like the music of David did upon the dark spir
it of Saul.

Death from Jumping the Rope.
We understand that a little girl named Trask,
connected with one of the Primary Schools in Bos
ton, died a day or two since from excess of exertion
in jumping the rope. It is said that she jumped
about two hundred times without stopping. She
was immediately after taken ill and diod the next
day. This is not the first death from the same
cause which we have had occasion to record, and
should be a warning to children not to indulge in
excessive exercise. —Boston Journal .
Fearful Riot at Panama.
Thirty Americans Killed and Twenty Wounded!
One of the most frightful butcheries and robberjes
of Americans took place at Panama on the ni b| of
the 15th ofAprH. On the afternoon of that day the
passengers per steamer Illinois arrived at the Rail
road Depot at Panama on their way to the steanSer
J. L. Stephens, but owing to the low tide they were
detained on shore. A portion of the passengers |y
the Cortes from San Francisco, were also stopping
at the several hotels in the vicinity of the depot. —
There could not have been less than 1,000 or. 1,300
Americans congregated about the Railroad fenninijs.
About sunset a difficulty occurred between one of
the Illinois passengers and one of themegroes, which
was freely joined by friends on both sides, and a
general row now commenced. Pistols, bowie knives,
swords, muskets, clubs, and rocks were freely used
and with deadly effect. The Americans were gen
erally unarmed, having only a few small revolvers,
and, consequently, after a short struggle, had to
yield the ground. The natives were re-inforced by
iarge numbers. They now made at attack upon the
different hotels and drove all the inmates out, many
of whom sought safety, as they supposed, in the de
pot building.
About this time the Police (God save the term!)
was-called in requisition; but instead of attempting
to restore order, it is positively known that a portion
of them joined the negroes and made the assault up
on the depot. The police and negret-s fired upon
the crowd, and drove every man, woman and child,
from the building, who, in their fright, ran in every
direction—some to the boats, and others to the thick 1
brush and woods, where they remained during the I
night, and with the expectation of being murdered
when daylight appeared. A large number were for
tunate enough to get on board of the small steamer,
and were conveyed to the J. L. Stephens. After
the natives had accomplished their work of death,
and dispersed all from the ground, they commenced
plundering the baggage, and destroying everything
to be found in the hotels. The passengers, in their
sudden flight, left and lost everything. After plun
dering all to be found in the hotels, the black mob
attacked the Depot building, which contained a large
amount of luggage and treasure, all of which the ras
cals obtained. They then commenced to tear up
the railroad track, and to pull down the telegraph
poles, and destroyed both railroad and telegraph of
fices. They were aware that the Express goods
would be brought over from Aspinwall that night,
and had laid their plans to seize them. They tore
up the track in the vicinity of the depot, in order
that the engine might run off; but through the ex
ertions of Mr. Williams, a conductor on the road,)
the Express train was stopped by his signals before
reaching the fatal point, and the lives of those o i
board and the goods were saved, and the train put
back to Aspinwall, where it remained at the time the
Philadelphia sailed.
I have no means of knowing the number killed
and wounded. There were twenty-five Americans
found dead immediately around the depot in the
morning, most of whom were passengers from the
Cortez, hut this number is probably not half that
were murdered. Os the number of natives killed,
but little could be ascertained ;Jbut few, compara
tively, I think, were slain.
During the night some scattering Americans were
picked up from time to time by the police, and es
corted to the gates of the city, but with the requisi
tion of from $5 to S2O dollars each for so doing, and
in several instances they were robbed of all the mo
ney, watches, and other effects found upon their
Soon after the commencement of hostilities the
Governor of Panama, and the American Consul were
on the ground, but their to quiet the riot
proved ineffectual. It is.reported by some of our
passengers that the Governor in the first instance
tried to restore order, but afterward encouraged the
murder and plunder. My slight acquaintance with
. Gov. Deas forbids me from any credence to
the latter report.
ThetSpanish portion of the inhabitants of Panama
were much frightened. Every house and place of
business was instantly closed and” barred, and but
few ventured out upon the balconies during the
night. The hotels in the city were closed and guar
ded until morning.
Os the amount of money and other effects lost by
the passengers I” can give but an imperfect idea, it
is supposed by many that not less than SIOO,OOO
would cover the amount. True it is that a large
sum is lost, and much more probably than ever will
be ascertained.
Below I hand you a statement which has been ob
tained through the exertions of L. O. Goodridge,
Esq., of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Express. It is princi
pally made up by the cabin passengers, and is far
from being complete. Many of the steerage passen
gers decline giving a statement, preferring, 1 sup
pose, to defer it until they see what action our gov
ernment will take in the matter before making their
claims known.
One circumstance must not pass unnoticed. A
few of the ladies and gentlemen who had effected
their escape by wading, some to their waists, in the
water to the small boats, proceeded to the Cortez for
protection. After some delay at the ship Capt. Col
lins admitted them on board, but they were refused
the use of rooms or any bedding or refreshments.

fence of the coast
2. Nicolaieff to be reduced to a commercial port.
8. Russia accepts the consuls of foreign powers
in the Black Sea and the Baltic.
4. Non-reconstruction of Bomarsund!
5. Russia gives up a portion of Beisarabia, in
cluding the fortress of Ismail.
6. Renounces the exclusive protectorate of the
Principalities ; and
7. Renounces the protectorate of the Greek sub
jects of the Porte.
8. The Danube isopen to the Hags of all nations.

Interesting to Methodists.
The Wesleyan Conference, at its last sitting in
London, England, so altered their ecclesiastical reg
ulations as to alio,w ministers to remain five years
at one place, provided the quarterly Conference of
the Circuit make a yearly request to that effect af
ter the second year. A similar change in the dis
cipline of the Methodist Church in this country has
long been greatly desired..
J3jP*Book-iaking is most actively pm-sued in the
United States. Over three hundred publishers aro
busy supplying the mental wants of the public, and
oyer three thousand booksellers are distributing
the productions. Books have multiplied to such
an extent in our country that it now takes seven
hundred and fifty paper mills, with two thousand
engines inconstant operation, to supply thj prin
ters. These mills produced two hundred and se
venty million pounds of paper the past year, which
immense Supply was sold for about $27,000,000.
A pound and a quarter of rags are required for a
pound of paper, and four hundred million pounds
were therefore consumed in this way last year.—
The cost of manufacturing a twelve months’ supply
of paper for the United States, aside from labor and
rags, is computed at $1,000,000. With this cease
less production it is almost impossible to keep up
with the publ shers in the notices of their works.

OBITUARY.
Oh! wherefore mourn the lovely dead,
The spirit freed from earthly dross ?
Tears?—theii be they not unmingled shed—
For this, to us, is common loss!
DIED in Warren county, Georgia, April 25th,
John A. Zachry, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Zachry,
in his 18th year. It has seldom become the task
of the writer to record a death, in which p’‘ty
prompts, and sympathy excite , more than the pre
sent. John was the only son ; the delight of his
father and mother. He was an honor to them ;an
example for all his youthful associates. His was a
noble and generous nature ; obedient and faithful
to the counsels of his parents. He bore his afflictions
without a murmur ; never sighed or complained;
never asked for a thing, nor refused what was of
fered. He sung audibly a few hours before he ex
pired? and the day previous, spoke of the boautiful
objects that passed before his view, doubtless
the attending Angels that were waiting around his
dying couch to accompany him away to the skies.
Though jmung, he had the Christian’s hope ; ho
marked the upright man, and followed in his steps.
He was beloved by all—is now mourned by all.
His seat in the School-room looks mournful and
sad, as if nature itself wept around.
Can it be that we shall behold that smiling face
no more ? that he, the idol of the dear domestic
circle, shall never again be found there ? To us ’tia
one of the inscrutable providences of Him “whose
ways arc past finding out.”
But I had rather labor to soothe the deep grief
of his kind parents, than to attempt to describe his
many virtues.; —he has left a brighter comet tjian
pen can describe. My young friends, gaze upon
it, and be ye also ready. While his lovely form
is let down in the cold grave, let his father and
mother lend a listening ear, and smile at the higher
notes of their child away in the golden streets of
the spirit land. Adieu then sweet John ; Farewell,
till wa meet thee where tears and woes shall not
annoy. J. T. McGixty.

Holloway’s Ointment and Pills, the!
best remedy .in the Union for Diseases of the Skin.
The youngest son of Mr. Edward Wright, of Abcr- j
deen, Mississippi, had the misfortune to be afflicted;
with a most malignant disease of the skin, which j
rendered the child’s lifeoneof misery and suffering. J
As the mother had tried every remedy likely to!
benefit him without receiving the desired result, she ;
became ultimately worn out with trouble and anx- j
iety in the matter, and was lamenting the same to!
a friend, who recommended Holloway’s Ointmentj
and Pills, which the mother commenced using, and|
by presevering with the same for six weeks, the j
child was completely cured.
Dr. Herron having long received a liberal pat
ronage from his numerous friends throughout this
community, together with various calls from a dis
tance, begs leave to tender his thanks to all whom
it may concern; wishing them to remember that he
continues at his old stand, near Penfield.
Having associated with him D. H. Herron, in the
practice of Medicine, in its various branches, is now
more fully prepared to attend to chronic cases at a
distance, upon the same liberal terms that he has
done for several years, namely : any person who be
ing afflicted with any form of disease, that will write
out their symptoms, and inclose therewith five dol
lars, and send the same to our address, will receive in
return, medicine and directions to suit their case, for
one month. Many persons have been treated and
cured upon this plan, with a great saving to the af
flicted ; some of them living from 50 to over 100
miles, numbers of whom wc have never seen, while ;
we have had the consolation of meeting others after j
their convalescence.
The undersigned has been closely engaged in the
practice for more than 20 years, adhering strictly to
the use of sanative remedies which are used in the
Reformed Practice; having had much experience in
the treatment of female diseases peculiar to this cli
mate. D. HERRON, M. D.
