of this month was set apart by the Legislature for
the holding Of elections throughout the State for
Delegates To the Nashville Convention. The Peo-
pie, unless in few counties, have shown absolute
indifference on the question. For example, in adj

heretofore reported, we now learn that in Gwinnelt
county containing about fifteen hundred voters, on
ly fourteen votes were given to the numinees 10 the
Convention. Burke county gave AZ votes; Cass
county about 100 votes; Floyd county some 5O
votes; Cobb county l26 votes, (Which, the Mari

tc5. Doctor Beecher, Of Park street Church, Bos-

the story Of the student respecting Prof Webster,
are substantially as follows:
A gentleman residing in the vicinity of the Med
ical College saw on the night of the 23d Novem'
Der light in Professor Webster's room. This be-
ing something unusual he obtained spy glass and
on taking an observation, saw man in the act o.
cutting up human body-supposing it to be sub
iect for anatomical dissection, and this being prevl
Gus to the report of Dr. Paikman's disappearance
he took no further notice oft.
Dr. Beecher not feeling al liberty to conceal a3y'
thing which might be of Importance to throw light
on the case, went to The Attorney General and in
terrogated him alphabetically in regard to the mat
ter. Learning, however, by This interview thai
the testimony would be inadmssibIe, he pursued
the subec, no further These are the facts Of the
case as obtained directly from, Doctor Beecher, and
the affair which gave rise to the story attributed to
a student, heretofore published.
