J Tlie Supcjior Court of Sumter coun
ty sent three delegates to the Peniten
tiary last week, viz: Ivey, for forgery,
sentenced to eight years imprisonment:
another for stealing a negro was sent
for six years, and Avert for assault
with inteut to kill, sent for seven years.
The Court House building in the
town of Starksville, was entirely con
sumed by fire on the night of the 9th
instant. Nothing that was in the build
ing was preserved from the flames. The
Superior Court was to sit next Monday,
hut of course will be adjourned. There \
is every reason to believe that it was .
the work of an incendiary.
The adjourned Session of the Superi- j
or Court of Greene county will conven*
on next Monday week, the 29th.
At the Superior Court in Putnam last
week, we learn that Castleberry, ar
raigned for shooting Nicholson, was
found not guilty. Rainey, alias Buck
halter, arraigned for horse stealing, g
•was sent to the Penitentiary five years.
Pool, for negro stealing, was sent seven
years to the same institution.
At the late Term of Crawford Supe-
rior Court, James Revel was tried for
murder, and convicted. He was sen
tenced by Judge Lamar to be huug.
An epidemic has been raging in Hous
ton county for several months, reseai
bling putrid sore throat ; some 1,200
cases have occurred, and about 50 have '
proved fatal. It was at first treated as
putrid sore throat, and during this J
treatment the mortality was alarming ;
finally a few cases denoted erysipela- 1
tous fever—the treatment changed ac- j
cordingly, and the fatality was very
much reduced. It has now entirely dis
appeared, and the infected districts
areenjoying their usual degree of health.
Hon. Edwaku Everett is expected to
pay a visit to his friend and former
classmate, Dr. B. A. White, of Mil
ledgeville, in a few days. The Federal

tender him some public mark of re
spect .
The Superior Court of Washington
county, which we learn from the Fcde'r- i
al Union, instill in session, rendered two i
verdicts against the Central Railroad i
Company ; one at the instance of Mrs. i
Nancy Walker, admx., for $10,000; i
aud one in favor of Levi H. Hall, for
SO,OOO. The son of Mrs. W. was a fire
man, and lost his life in July, 185 G, by
running into a chasm, occasioned by
the rain. The ground of prosecution
was gross negligence, both in the con
struction of the road; and in not ex
amining it, after the rain. Iverson L.
Harris was counsel for Plaintiff, Geo.
A. Gordon for the Railroad. The ver
dict of the jury was entirely at vari
ance with the charge of Judge Holt, and
the Defend ants have appealed.
We learn from the Albany Patriot,
that the Southern Bank of Bainbridge
is regarded as entirely irresponsible.—
Its bills will not pass at all. Those
who hold them now, consider them
selves sold.
A collision with the up train occur
red on the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
near Dalton, about dusk Monday eve
ning. The damage done to the en
gines was slight, and no one hurt.
Theatrical Gossip.
Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne is playing at
Crist's Gaiety in Nashville.
Edwin Booth concluded his Baltimore

of that city says "he was unwell du- ,

that they attribute "the deficiency in

Hamburg not a Corn Field yet.
A correspondent of the Edgefield Ad
vertiser, noticing the fact that Messrs.
Delpii & Scott bought a Georgia lot of
cotton the other day at 12 cents ’round,
adds: “You will perceive by this that
Hamburg, as yet, has not been 'conver
ted into a corn-field,’ but is still in one
sense a right lively little ‘cotton
patch.'V “Well done old Hamburg.—
Long may shesurvive! Once complete
ly stranded, and our side of the State
will soon realize the loss. It has been
often said, yet we here say it again, that
Hamburg is and has ever been the best
cotton market in the South.”
North an<l South.
Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, in a
iate eloquent speech in the Senate, said
he was much gratified in learning from
southern and northern speakers the
comparative resources of the two sec
tions of the country. The Senator from
South Carolina had detailed the re
sources of the South, and the Senator
from Maine had given those of the
North, and while listening to them it
seemed to him (Mr. C.) that this ivas
the most natural Union in the world.
If either of these sections were apart, it
would make a nation of which any man
may be proud to he a citizen. What a
magnificent Union, said Mr. Chitten
den, it makes when youjuU both together.\J
~— A
Stirling up tlie Animals,
[ Congress has been called a‘ ‘ bear gar
den,” and we mean no particular disre
spect when we designate the process of
waking up the members, by the term
used in menageries. One night last
week the Senate was in session until
morning,and the Washington States tells 1
some funny stories of the process of c
serving a call of the Senate, an hour or 1
two after midnight, on Senators who f
had gone home and to bed. The Ser- 1
geant-at-Arms, accompanied by car- s
riages, rode around the city and col- '
lected the deserters, peaceably if lie ‘
could, hut forcibly if lie must. Sam
Houston was captured at the Kirkwood
House, taken from his bed, and carried *
growling to the Capitol. When called '
upon for an excuse for his absence, he '
gravely requested the Senate to inform
him what excuse it had to offer for the
outrage it had committed upon his per-
sonal rights, by dragging him from his
bed at that untimely hour. He pro
tested that he would not ho pacified till
the Senate apologized to him. Senator
Clay, of Alabama, kept his doors lock
ed, and defied the Sergeant-at Arms—
flatly refusing to obey the mandate.—
Generally, however, the absentees sur
rendered themselves with a good grace,
and a quorum was obtained at 4 o’clock
in the morning.
Clilriqul Route to tile Pacific.
About midway between the Panama
and Nicaragua Transits is found tho
short, healthy and desirable, but as yet
almost unknown Chiriqui Transit. This
route to the Pacific is now traversed,
says the Washington Stales, by a mule
road from sea to sea, very little talked
about, it is true, for it is more used by
the native contrabandists thau foreign
tourists, hut of rare and romantic beau
ty nevertheless. The negro traders
from Jamaica pronounce the name Cher
ry Key, and it is not far from the cor
rect Castilian sound of the word ; and
these wild boatmen consider the har
bors at either end of this route second to
nothing in those seas. If their expe
rience and opinions are worth anything,
this neglected pathway to the Pacific
deserves the careful and immediate at
tention of our Government. They com
pute the distance at only seventy miles
from harbor to harbor, and the depres
sion or opening through the mountain
range is so favorable that a good stage
road could be constructed and put in
running order in a single season.

A robbery of a banker's safe in Hen
ry, Illinois, showed rather a strange de
ficiency of capital. The robbers found
$l5O in cufrency and ten thousand dol
lars in bills on the Bank of Greensbo
ro, Ga. The Peoria Transcript, which
tells the story, says that “ three hun
dred dollars in money with which to
redeem ten thousand dollars in shin
plasters, is decidedly suggestive."

Carolina*
The Charleston papers contain the
report of the Dean of this institution, the
commencement exercises of which took
place on the 12th inst., from which we
learn that the class in attendance on
the lectures now terminated, amounted
to two hundred and sixteen students,
from the States of South Carolina,
North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Cal
ifornia, New York, and tlie Island of

Murder by a Negro.
Late last Thursday night a most atro
cious murder was committed on Topsail
Sound, near Wilmington, N. C., by a
negro fellow named Peter, belonging
to Owen Holmes, Esq. It seems that
Peter had been runaway from Mr.
Holmes’ plantation, aud Mr. Charles 11.
Nixon, Mr. Holmes' overseer, went in
pursuit of him, and had succeeded in
coming up with the fugitive, when the
negro turned round upon him and shot
him. The negro shot once, and missed
him, when Nixon presented his gun,
which snapped,and the second fire from
the negro killed him.
The Sjhlriff, with a posseehad started
in wprsuK of the negro, and indignation j :
was 'vdry great. The Herald, from j 1
which we gather the facts, hoped that [ ’
the law would he permitted to take its !
course.
East Tennessee Wheat Crop*
Accounts from different sections of
East Tennessee state that the wheat
crop looks unusually fine and promis
ing. A good stand has been obtained,
and the crop is as forward as usual and
is growing beautifully. The amount
sown is very large, and should no mis
hap befall the crop the harvest will he
a most abundant one.

Put a Bible There.
Put it anywhere, and let its power he
felt —let it he read, obeyed and loved,
and such results as these will fol
low ;
1. The fiercest and most cruel sav
age is tamed and made mild, gentleami
affectionate.
2. Social and family ties are rescued |
from the perversion produced by vice
and crime, and become sources of pu- i
rest happinc-s, 1
3. Put a llihlc there-and if that ru
ler’s heart feels its power, his eyes are i
opened to see what are the true rights i
of men ; and a ruler so taught will leg
islate with great alacrity and joy in be
half of all those rights.
4. Put a Bible there—and every indi- !
vidual iu that community, heartily
obeying it, will be a conscientious
respecter of law, and an enlightened
supporter of civil order and govern- j
ment. j i
5. Put a Bible there—and its practi- j
cal workings on the heart will put an
end utterly to every error and delusion
which may be destroying the welfare of
that community.
6. Put a Bible there—and its truths,
welcomed to the heart, will change all
that coldness and indifference to men’s j
eternal welfare, that had prevailed there j i
into the most intense and cordial inter- ] i
est in that welfare. I;
So we may pat a Bible anywhere, aud j
if we can bring it into spiritual contact
with the heart, we employ the most ;
powerful of all agencies to bring to an '
end all the moral disorders of the world, i
We do good on tiie largest scale to the
individual, the family and the nation, i

THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
Washington, March, 20. j
SENATE.
Mr. Hale proceeded to speak in oppo- '
sition to the Kansas bill. Having al
luded to the position of some of the
northern democrats on this question,
he said that the administration is re- I
sponsible for the attempt to force upon 1
the people of Kansas the Lecompton '
constitution, which is odious to them 1
and contrary to their overwhelmingly
expressed will.
Mr. Foot, of Vermont, and Mr. Sim
mons of Rhode Island, severally con
demned the Lecompton constitution.
Several other Senators delivered their j
views on the Kansas question, ‘ and at I
half-past ten, p. m., the Senate adjourn-1
ed until Monday morning at ten o’clock, j
HOUSE.
The House went into a Committee of j
the Whole on the State of the Union—
the deficiency appropriation bill being !
nominally under consideration.
Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, opposed i
the admission of Kansas under the Le
compton constitution, and said, in con- \
■ elusion, so help him God no stave State ;
shall eVer come into the Union with his
vote.
Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, advoca
. ted the admission of Kansas, and, in al
luding to the last remark of Mr. Farns
worth, said that was the issue which
every gentleman ought gallantly to meet, j
i He defended the South against the at
tacks which have been made against
that section of the country.
Mr. Waldron, of Michigan, opposed
the Lecompton movement, and was
lavish in his condemnation of all who
had an agency in it, and also of the
( President of the United States.
Mr Barksdale, of Mississippi, made a
' speech in favor of the Lecompton move
ment. By the treaty of Louisiana and
by the Nebraska Kansas bill, the people
of Kansas have a right to be •admitted
into the Union. These were enabling
acts. But the enabling acts are not
necessary for the admission of new
States.
The debate was continued until half
past nine o’clock, p. m., when the
House adjourned.

There is an abundance of the article in
Texas and Louisiana, and it is expected
that a large export of it will be made
foi the purpose of paper making. The |
gathering and drying of the moss re- j
quires hut little capital, and a large ‘
business can be done in its production;
and forwarding to market on small

Tl»e Alton Tragedy.
The Alton (111.) Courier of the 11th, :
says:
“ Mr. Crabb, the prison guard, who
was so dangerously stabbed by the con
vict Hall, was much better yesterday, i
having obtained considerable relief, and '
slept soundly. Dr. Williams informed ,
| us last evening that there was a marked
| improvement in his case, and that he
' had sanguine hopes of his recovery.— 1
He is still in the prison hospital, it be
ing thought most prudent not to remove 1
him to his residence for a few days.
The convict—Hall—remains about as 1
wc last reported. The hall cannot be
found, and he complains of much pain
in his head, but is perfectly sensible, '
and converses readily.” i

The Japanese.—The Japanese are a |
great people. Jeddo, the capital of Japan, i
contains about 1,080,000 inhabitants, a ,
number nearly equal to London. The ,
Emperor’s Palace is of indescribable y
magnificence; its hall of audience is
! supported l>y many pillars of massive
gold and plates of gold cover its three 1
towers, each nine stories high. Several 1
other costly palaces, belonging to the (
Emperor, Empress, concubines, and vas
jsal kings, enrich this great eastern city.
Where the Gold Goes.
During the past year the receipts of ■
gold at New York from California were
upwards of $34*000,000. One would
suppose with such an influx of the pre
cious metal, our people ought to grow
rich, and a solid prosperity ensue. Such 1
would be the result but for our vast
importations of foreign merchandize.—
The exports of specie from New York
and Boston during last year amounted
to $54,800,000, or $20,800,000 more than
| the gold recei /cd from California, and
I this great sum went to pay our foreign
1 indebtedness. When a nation spends
; morethan it earns, ihe result is the same
!as with an individual, it becomes poor, if
I not bankrupt.

‘ York are doing a good business among

motive, take to the different places

£*TT he Great Problein
| Solved !—UR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
j iria!.. —The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
! has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a ing
course of this extraordinary Unic. The gastric.
Hiiid re acquires its solvent power, and tbc crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization vv s
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous suffejyr, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolorcx
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
ten iblelassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other p:i»n
or disability arising from the unnatnral condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which atonccc ilms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nsrvous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanime s in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the ha ds of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digo-Dve
powers it creates a desire for the solid mater a
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal In the Pharmacopia.
j If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joy merit arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of
i precious worth
j Its beneficial effects arc not confined to eithrr
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ai’lnp
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervoqs depres
sion, the individual suffering from genera! do
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent re! ! f from
the U'C of this incomparable renovator. To
| those wbo have a predisposition to paraiy.-i. it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible milady. There arc many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. I.et not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
orcnce to the causes, and will not only remove
the di-ordor itself, but rebuild the brekeu con

gsT A Giver Remedy.—We
wish to say to every person who reads this that
there is an article known as Dr. Sanford's in
vigor ator, or Liver Remedy, which can be relieu
Ow as certain to cure liver complaint in any oi
its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, aud nu
merous other Complaints, described in another
column, besides which it is one of the greatest
preparations or cures for consumption, taken in
early stages, that is now known.
We take it for granted, as experiment has pr< -
ven that diseases of the lungs arc not generally
the first cause of consumption, but a debilitate*,
system, caused by the improper action of the
liver, which reduces the power of the luu s io
resist or throw oil' diseases caused by cold turn
irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of tin.-
Uisease, because the liver has incapacitate
them from performing their proper action -
throwing off diseased matter caused by cold.
Thus to prevent consumption, cure the livei
aud keep the system strong enough to throw oh
slight diseases of the lungs.
There is not in the world a better liver reme
ily or a euro for debilitated system than Dr
1 Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully trie
j in a large and extended practice till it 3 result
, j are fully known, and now il Is offered as a trie
remedy, and one that can be relied on.—Lew
