Unfortunate Accident.-The Mobile Ad-

10 inform you that all the mails sent from
this Office last night for Mobile, were lost
in Catoma Creek, four miles from this place.
The stage driver, in attempting 10 ford ,ha,

bridge, soon found himself in swimming
water, from which it was with difficulty
he could extrica,e himself aud team. A
passenger named George A. Logan, was
washed out Of the box with the mails and
drowned. Diligent search was made to-
day for the mails and the passenger, but
with no success beyond the recovery OF
two small newspaper bags. Another at
tempt will be made tomorrow, when it is
thought the water will be sufficiently low
to admit of more thorough and success

We refer our readers TO the Ordinance
concerning the firing of guns in the streets,
recently passed by the Town Council. II
will be found in our columns to-day. Pub
lie opinion loudly called for its passage,
and we believe, that it viii! meetthe appro-
baton of all we'll disposed citizens of the
place. The practice of firing guns in The
public streou, is very reprchensiblc, and il
not checked, will iu all probability, result
in serious injury to some person. We hope
that no one will wanionly, or tlloushtlessly
violate the Ordinance Of the Council, in re-
fereuce to this matter, and thus render him,
self liable 10 the penalties which may fall
thereon.

Yesterday, at Chambers. Chancellor

and the State Bank versus the Bank Of the
State of.Georgia, the City Council Of Au-
eusta aud 6. B. Lamar: The motion
was made by the defendants, on Saturday

the Circuit Court ofthe U. S.-no5 doubt

This important, case has cow turned con-
siderably 10 favor Of Mr. Shultz, who has
|:been suffering during twenty-five years.
from being deprived ofhis property, WORTH,
thissday, cost, income and interest, accord
ing TO- the statement in the bill, 1868, lS29l..
sudu me rnurtgH -.Le-d AGepdants prey ALL
ed, Mr.. .Shultz might not have Rived, To-
see the.end ofthis suit, aud, in the mean
Gme, would have continued deprived ofsaid
properly. As the case now stands, it will
be argued in June, at Edge6eld Court:
House, and will then probably be referred,
to the Court of Appeals, at Columbia,
opening in November next, when we trust
the final decision will be given in favor of
the suffering party, according 10 the merits
of the case.
ltis worthy of remark, that the apparent
misfortunes ofihe valuable citizen whose
fate is, as it we're, now to be fixed, have
been the means of building the Town of
Hamburg, which, ifthis remarkable man
had never been driven from Augusta, strip
ped Of his property, would not have risen
up as rival to that place, and.a pillar OF
our own State. According 10 official re-
turns, the trade of Hamburg has nearly
equalled that Of The city Of Augusta, in the
present year.
Ifjustice takes its proper course, the
pluin,iF will be enabled to fulfil all his OBJ
legations, and have left for himself the
means of a comfortable existence, the due
reward of industry and integrity.

Judge Earle, now holding the Courl of
General Sessions and Common Pleas, in
this city, has declined hearing the argu-
ment 10 this case, on the very sufficient
ground, that as holder Of bank stock, he
is personally interested in the question.

To the Edi,ors of The Sapnaah Republican:

To the Editors of the Sa1nnah Republican:
GENTLEMEN.-Sometime since robbie.
ry or something like it took place at the
Branch Bank Of the Stale of Georgia at
Macon. have heard many Of your rea-
ders wonder why the journals Of this city
have been so quiet about the afiair. You
will confer a favorby giving your readers
an account of it. A. SUBSCRIBER.
The reason we have not noticedthe mat
ter referred to in the above communications,
is, because we have been expecting the
press al Macon to furnish the particulars
of the defaIcation, which we intended TO
copy. The press of that city has thus lar
been silent on the subject, and to a friend
are we indebted for the following state
ment, which may be relied on as correct:
The amount of deficit at The Branch
Bank at Macon, az reported by Mr.. Pot
ter, the Cashier of the Bank Of the Stale
of Georgia, who was sent there by the
Board Of The Principal Bank here, is as we
understand, about 100000. Nathaniel
Barker. Cashier, Isaac G. SeymouE, Presl,
dent, and Levi Eckley, H. X. Carter, ana
F. Sims, Directors, are the persons lmpn-
Gated.
These frauds upon the institution have ;
been committed urder the obligations OF
an oath taken by the President and Cash
ier of tha, Office on the Sd Of April, ult' al
tera certificate signed, saying the casn
had on that day been counted aud was all
found correct.
We further understand, that the Direc-
tors Of the Principal Bank have tasen en-
ergetic measures to prosecute ana 20 oiils
to justice all the persons ,mplicateo'nDanII
and olher sources of indemnity, induces
the hope ,ha, the pecuniary loss TO inc
Bank will not be veryheavy,--but what
an awful wreck ofcharacter with regard
to The parties involved: Webelieye. how
ever, that there will a pubIication;ef par
ticulars upon this subject in due 'lme-

Legal ri Decision.-The last Wash
ington News says, that 10 Oglethorpe Su-
perior Court last week, several witnesses
were decided by Judge Andrews, to be
"inadmissible, on The ground that they
were Universalists, not believing ir fu-
ture state Of rewards and punishments."
We learn that they were the three princi
pie witnesses in the trial Of David Patten,
for murder-they were named James Bell
Senr., Addison A. Bell, and VIM. d, Mat.
lox-all respectable men and good men,
bers Of society. That a lawyer should
take such grounds against witness TO save
the neck Of a culprit- client, is by no means
strange-but that he should be sustained
BY judge is passing strange. This is
probably, the FIRST decision Of the kind that
has ever occurred in Georgia, and we trust
that it may be the last. Our Constitution
recognizes no distinction of religious opin-
ions in the enjoymen, of civil rights, We
think the judge would have done his legal
character more credit, by adhering to the
principles laid down in the 4th article and
10Th section of the Constitution of Georgia.
1t says:
"No person within the State, shall, upon
any pretence, be deprived ofthe ineslima-
BILE privilege Of worshipping God in man:
ner agreeableto his own conscience = =
No one religious society shall ever be esta-
blished in this State in preference to ano-
ther, nor shall any person be denied the
enjoyment Of any civil right, merely on
accoun, Of his religious principle.-Macon
Messenger.
