The news from Paris of the death of

friends. Mr.. Seldom was formerly an
influential member of the New York

Iwenty-Third Congress, and was an
active member of the Wing party under

IMPORTANT MOVEMENTS IN Georgia.
A bill has been introduced into the Leo
lslature Of Georgia, which proposes 10
confscate, for the benft Of owners Of
fugitive slaves, the debts due BY citizens
OF Georgia to citizens Of the State TO
which slaves may nave escaped, if the
authorities of that State refuse 70 deliver
up the slaves upon claim of their right
fol owners Such measure as this has
been discussed by the press and at pub
he meetings in various parts of the
South for some time past, and It is quite
likely it will soon assume the form Of a
legal enactment. The Legislature OF
Georgia has also had under considera-
ton the question as to what disposition
should be made Of the various insulting
resolutions from the North, that have
been so systematically promulgated
within a few years.

q, CANNiBALs AMONG THE INDIANs.-
The Hon. G. D. Williams recently
returned to Detroit from visit
to the Chippewas, who reside near
Grand Portage, within few miles of
the national boundary between the U.
States and Canada. While there he
became acquainted with the Bots Forte
Indians. tribe who, as their namc de-
notes, lnhabit the 'sthick wood" or
heavy timbered lands near Pigeon river
The main subsistence of this tribe is
upon wild rice which grows luxuriantly
IN, that vicinity. This crop is sometimes
cut OFT by some vicissitude, and when
this happens these Indians are frequent
ly distressed for food, as the chase is
uncertain and game scarce The last
winter was a peculiarly hard ono, and
IN the course of it this tribe was reduced
to the revolving and horrible strait Of
eating their own children, which they
did to the extent of almost e.gtermina-
ton. He saw and conversed with two
women of tribe, one of whom had given
up two and another three children. sue
cessively, to be slain and eaten. We
hardly supposed that canniba's existed
so near our very borders

BucKwHKAr.-In the memory of man, the
State of Pennsylvania, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, has never seen so vast a crop of buck
wheat as now whitens the fields with its rich
blossoms, and fill the air with its fragrant
perfume Not alone the rich valleys, but the
rough. hill counties, appear to have every
available spot whitened with this delicate
plant At this season, when fruits take the
place of flowers. the buckwheat blossom adds
peculiar gracc to the landscape. Never did
this grain give greater promise of heavy re-
turn; and if no frosts occur for three weeks,
the crop is safe. Though the uses of buck
wheat are few in our cities, in the country the
grain is available for cattle and poultry, espe-
cially for mixing. aud thus the crop becomes
important. in releasing its full weight of the
farmefs wheat and corn for the general mar

DREApruL SCENES IN CHINx.-A letter
from Canton, under date of August |. says -
.sThe mandarins of the district in all di-
rections still call for political offenders to De
given up, and many are denounced every day
they are constantly arriving here, and every
day there are two executions, at 10 A. Nj.
aud 4 p M. Not very many people go to
see them--foreiguers occasionally | have
fearful misgivings that my stomach would not
stand the sights, sounds and smells. The
execution square is now more than four inches
deep of thick, clotted, dried blood. and they
say the smell is awful this hot weather MIR.
Heard went down the other morning, and
saw 161 beheaded. There were four execu-
tioners only, and the time consumed in actu-
ally taking off the heads was just two minutes
and half! One hundred and sixty-one r.
think of that Yesterday morning there were
800 beheaded, and in the afternoon 25O!
This morning about $50 have been pitched
into. This has been going on now pretty
steadily for months Mr. Morrison, the in
terpreter to the English Consulate, tells nae
that he has seen some of them sitting down
waiting their turn, very coolly eating China
cooseberries They seem to care very little
aboutit Then all at these executions are a
mere crucifce-lashed to a cross, and then
hacked and cut to pieces. But it is awful to
think how many of these poor fellows may be
perfectly innocent of any crime of any kind,
and may be in fact victims of private spite,
and hurried out of the way to crafty malice.
What a row there is at home when one man
is to be hung! Think of hundreds and hum
dreds tldily.
