Woman.

Woman.
The Columbus Georgia. Enquirer of
The 18th inst, says: On Tuesday morn
ing last, the 18th instant the feelings of
our people were considerably shocked by
the report that a negro girl, belonging to
p. A. Clayton, Esq. of this city, had
come to her death by the violent abuse
of her mistress on the previous evening.
The lumor gained ground during the
day, and by night most of our citizens
were more or less acquainted with the
reported details of this shocking affair.
The coroner felt it his duty to take the
matter into his own hands. A jury was
empanneled on Wednesday morning, and
after a general examination, gave their
verdict. One or two of the jury not
being satisfied, the child was disinterred,
and the jury lv'assembled at the court
house ON Thursday morning. where the
investigations were protracted for several
hours. Seven physicians conducted the
post norton examinations, some new
evidence was introduced, and the jury
unanimously rendered the verdict below.
The undersigned, a jury CT inquest, en-
paunelled and swoln to inquire into the
cause and manner of the death Of Sarah,
a negro child, about eight years of age,
said 10 be the property of P. A. Clayton,
Esq; Of Columbus, Ga, and whose body
is lying before us, after having made a
thorough examination Of the body, and
witnessed a post mortem examination by
several physicians, aud having taken
their testimony and that of witnesses, do
say that, in our opinion, the said child,
Sarah, came to her death by wounds in
flicted upon her head and body by Mrs.
Elizabeth Clayton.

GENIUS OF THE WEST: Published BY
Coggshall & True, Cincinnati o.,
Terms 81, 90 per year.

The March number Of this Magazine
contains many excellent articles. 1t is,
as ever, filled with-original productions
from the pens of Western writers. There
is no question but that the west might
furnish a far larger portion of its own
literature, and be less dependant upon
eastern writers, without at all deteriora-
ting the character Of its reading matter.
We doubt whether poetry of a higher
caste has appeared in any American
periodical, for many a day, than a few
articles which are in this number, from
the pen of the lamented Mary Louisa

II The publishers Of this elegant book have sold
20 900 copies in one month. and are scarcely able to
supply the immense demand for it. I'm this volume.
We have the dying song Of the beautiful and gifted Car
oIine Lee Hentz. Mournfully sweet. like the sigh &C
an aol an Tyre, yet deep and oraeular as the voice OF
waters; Il seems to have heen poured forth while her
soul doated down the ocean Of rest. On almost every
mage We can trace the shadow Of the death Angel who
bore her away when her song vas ended. Mysterious
CLEANS from beneath the uplifted vail OF Spirit land
startle US as we read. The book is a broadcast fare

most impressive pages are revelations Of the inner life
Of the ENTHUSIASTICALLY vivid and absorbing, be-

The votes of these gentlemen in the
Legislature, seem to have displeased the
Trumbull Democrat. This is a pity,
and they will no doubt. regret it exceed
ingly.
The Democrat is scolding because
these gentlemen did not vote for the re.
solution in favor of the restoration o.
the Missouri Compromise line. A couple
of weeks ago, the Democrat said the re-
peal was a Democratic measure, and all
right and now, with its usual double
faced habit, it is blaming our Represen'
t~atives because they seem willing il
should remain repealed.
