or When we first alluded to The con-
duct Of our members in relation to the
Chickasaw bill, we remarked that there
was "always to be found dozen presses
ready to defend and justify, where there
was one to hold to strict account, their
friends in high stations.n This has been
verified. If the bill was designed, as is
charged, for purposes Of speculation, il
must be admitted that Mr., Thompson a.
dopted very mysterious and unusual me.
ihod Of opposing is--that Messrs. Hammett
and Roberts are inexcusable for not having
ferreted out its object, Tor Thompson for
not enlightening them, land that Mr.
Tucker committed an objectionable sin in
voting for the bill throughout, We alnd.
ed TO the matter in the mildcst and most
conciliatory terms we could command, and
forthwith It is published from one end Of
the State to the other that we have made
A most malignant attack upon the Hon
Jacob Thompson'--with fresh edition o.

sagacious guardians of the rights Of the

"We cannot consider II the malignan
attack the Organizer pronounces il. In

We hope the members Of the State Cor
ventlon win demand Of these fearless, u
giiaai, Jdiiyhl Representatives, fun &C
count Of their stewardship, particularly Il
regard TO this chickasaw bill. If the bi

imperishable treasure in Heaven.

A thrilling incident" is now going the
rounds of the papers to this effect: A
blacksmith in Virginia had joined the tenn.
perance society, but his love for "the ardu-
Gus" overcame his good resolves, and pass
ing by GROCERY, he bought bottle OF
whiskey. Ashamed TO carry il to his
home, he sought secret place to hide III
and in turning over some rocks for this
purpose, rattle-snako struck him on the
hand, and he died in few hours: after
confessing, with much remorse, oil the
circumstances.
Moral acksliding teetotallers should
be careful not TO hide their bottles in a
place where they may rustic up snake ;
and they should remember, TOO, that there
is serpent in every bottle, whose venom,
though not SO suddenly, is as certainly, ia.
tai. This dread serpent is hid in the rud-
dy colors Of the liquid fire, and has brought
hundreds Of thousands to a slow, excruci-
ating, maddening death!

CgNrENNARY CoLIEGE.--W see it stated
in tho papers, we do not know upon what
authority, that this institution is about to
be removed TO Jackson, La. The Metho-
dist Conference, which founded and con-
trolls the Centenary College, extends over
both the States Of Louisiana and Mssissip-
pi. We believe the larger portion of the
fund for It's endowment was contributed in
the former State. There are already COM
modous and splendid College ediices at
Jackson, lately occupied by the College OF
louisiana now defunct From these cir
cumstances, we have thought the report Of
the removal not improbable.
Since writing the above, we have seen
paragraph in the Bayou Sara La. Ledger,
stating that the college buildings at Jack
son have been purchasedby the Mississip-
pi Conference, with the intention of loca-
ting the Centenary College there.

CHANcELLoR.-In an article circulating
in the newspapers, giving the biography,
and setting forth the qualifications of J. M.

WEDNESDAY, June IL.
Alter the Court met, the examination oil Inc
Rev. Mr. Jackson, The chaplain OF me iriSate,
was concluded
His testimony chiefly related 10 conversation
between the commander of the Argentine squad
ron, Commodore Fiton, and Captain VOORHEES,,
on board OF the Congress; in which the Tier dis
claimed all knowledge Of or connection with, The
conduct OF The San Gala which did not belong 10
his equadron; and stated that the difficulty might
have been prevented, il Capt Voorhees,, instead of
attacking him. had requested an explanation.
Soon afterwards, Capt VOORHEES, released the
Argentine officers and ordered Commodore Fill
ton 10 resume his command, which he refused 10
do, and retired 10 his vessel under protest.
Mr. Black, The boa.swan and Mr. City, The
gunner Of the Congress, were next examined, but
did not give any material additional testimony.
Miishpman McCurkle was also examined
He proved AN order from Capt. Voorhees,, uhic
he carried 10 The prize master on board each ofthe
Argentine vessels. 10 release all the .HonierideGn
prisoners and prizes which might he found in
their custody. He was, himself the prize master
Of the San Gala, and one Of The officers who cap
ured her His testimony was mainly IN corro-
boration of thai of Lieut.. Porter II appeared thar
neither OF the Witnesses nor any one on board the
Congress, sawt alleged firing oil the San Gala
upon the American bark Rosalva.
A series of documents were also presented as
testimony by the judge advocate, being cores
pondence between lie United STATES Consul, Capt.
Voorhees,, and General Oribe, tending 10 prove
that Captain voorhees, knew and admitted Inc
right OF General Oribe 10 use The Mon,eyidean
flag; for wearing which, by the San Gala, under
authority from General Oribe he had pronounced
her pirate. The counsel for Captain Voorhees,
objected 10 the admission OF this docum ntary
testimony, but they were received By The court
after argument. The judge advocate offered in
evidence as lbe conf: ssons and admissions Of the
accused, his Official report OF the transactions Of
the 18th Of September, made on that day and
sent TO Commodore Turner, and BY him 10 this
Government; but on objection the court rejected
