FATAL ACCIDENTAL melancholy accident
occurred in jasper county, Ga, on the 18th
ult. A letter 10 the Augusta Coustitutonaiist
says that two men. one named Ward, and the
other Garner, while working in well of Mrs.
Chapman, became affected by the gas con.
tanned therein. They called Tor the basket to
be lowered; when Mrs. Chapman aud her
daughter let down the basket. Mr.. Ward got
in and was drawn to the top of the well, when
he tainted and fell TO the bottom, a depth OF
about 60 feet. Mr.. Garner then called for the
basket to be lowered for him, when he got in
and was drawn TO the top in making an at
tempt to get out, he also fell 10 the bottom
There were none but females about the premi-
ses, so they sent for assistance to Planter
Factory, about one mile of. where the men
lived. The men were hooked up. Ward was
badly bruised, aud had some of his bones
broken. lis thought he died shortly after he
fell. Garner lived for some time after he wa
taken out.

THE SKUPINsKI CoNFEssIoNs.-We copy
the following from the Philadelphia Ledger,
of Wednesday:
Matthias Skupinski, the occupant of the
condemned cell at the County prison, if all
accounts are correct, is nov almost daily max
ing confessions, or contradicling those previ-
ously made. On Monday, Il number OF the
condemned mans country men visited the pr-
son, and four or FIVE were introduced into his
cell. One of them came over to New York
with the prisoner in the ship Robert Bell in
1S49. These persons having knowi ledge,
both of the Polish and English languages,
the prisoner gave statement as TO his past
life, and the circumstances connected with his
present condition, which was translated into
English, and reduced to writing by Joseph P.
Loughead, late Prosecuting Attorney. This
last confession not only presents a denial as
to his guilt in the murder of Lehman, but also
asseverates his innocence of any other muir
ders, Ell her in this country or in Europe.
A statement has been drawn up by Celes
tin William, the Catholic priest who has been
attending him as spiritual adviser which is
to the same effect.
1t would seem either that the prisoner has
| not been yet affected by the horror of his lm
pending fate to such degree as to induce him
pances Of the various statements grow out Of
| the lying spirit within him, or else that the
persons conversing with him do not exactly
| comprehend his language, and report him as
| saying just the reverse of what he intended

that the draught will be increased by the &C

Mr.. Meagher appears to have gained the adj
miration of all parties in New York, no less by
his fine personal qualities than by the entire
propriety and modes,y of demeanor which he
has observed. The N. Y. Express speaks of
him in the following terms:
Meagher is manfestly a gentleman and a
scholar, and, if unfortunate ia his own country,
and an exile now in foreign land, he is none
the less worthy of public esteem. He has the
rare merit of modesty, and no more of personal
vanity about him, we should judge, than the
humbIest and most undistlng uished Ut Irish
men. For this we have acquired an admiration
of the man which the hot competition we have
seen, of late, in the exled patriot business,
could not repsess. Perhaps no man has suf-
fered more for his country, in these latter days,
than this disting uished lrshman; yet no man
has been more careful to avoid the least sus-
picion of making his misiortunes pretext for
professional begging.

8 PICTURE FOR FANATICS To LOOK At
The following picture OF the condition to which
philanthropy has reduced the British West
Indies, is sufficiently striking. If fanaticism
were capable of learning. il might become very
wise by the study of its own history and its
own work. We quote from the proceedings
of the British House of Lords, of the 10th of
June:
Lord Brougham presented petition from
the judges and bar in Jamaica, complaining of
the distressed state of that Island. Though
he agreed with some of the allegations of the
petitioners, he had already stated that he
should not support their petition, but he
thought it his duty to call the attention of the
House to the subject, which was one of great
importance. The noble Lord then read the
petition. -st
Earl Grey protested against that part OF the
petition which declared that the effect of the
measures of lS4o and 1848, had been an increase
in the slave trade.
The Bishop of Oxford, on the other hand,
asserted that the effect of those measures had
been large increase in that traffic.
Similar petitions have been presented from
the islands of Antigua and the Maurtus and
from British Guiana; the Earl of Derby sale

tress which prevailed in the colony, but also
to the barbarlsm into which a large proportion

sing. In his opinion, the only effeclual remedy
Tor colonial distress would be to stop the pro
gress OF the reduction in the different duties
on sugar; for in spite of the assertion of Lord
Grey, he believed thu, it was not possible to
produce sugar by free labor TO compete on
equal terms with slave labor. At the same
time he confessed that he entertained grea,
doubt whether the public mind of this country
was prepared TO sacrifice the economic inter.
esis which might be involved in such propo
SitiOn.
