"AwFUL GARDNER"-A large camp meeting was

who took prominent part in the services was "Aw-

the camp says
"AIr Orville Gardner, alias Awful Gardner was

Mr.. j. q. Walker died of yellow fever in Vicksburg
last Thursday night. There was then but one other
case in town.
The Holly Springs Herald of Saturday last pub
fishes letter from Tallahatehie county, from which
we extract the following:
The whole country here is now afflicted with the
poisonous inhalations of miasma arising from the
stagnant pools left by the recedng water and also
the deCayng vegetation.
Unless there can be found some "a Balmin Giead y
some good physician there" this whole country
will soon be a gloomy GOlgotha. One gentleman
here has thirty negroes sick, and another twentyye
and, indeed, every family composed of dozen mem
bers, has at least six laugushing on beds of alic-
ton at the same time.
From the Grenada Republican of Saturday last we
extract the following paragraphs:
We had fine rain, accompanied by considerable
wind on Thursday night. Previous to this it had
been quite dry for eight or ten days. Rust is prevail
ing in cotton in many localities-much complaint is
| made OF the shedding of cotton squares. Reports
from the field are conflicting that cannot state
with any certainty the condition of the crops It is
believed however that an average crop Of both corn
| and cotton will be gathered
From what we can learn the cotton crop in the bot
tom counties will be greatly in excess OF the calcua-
| tiOn of few weeks since.
We have seen some OF our friends, the past week,
from Suntlower, and they say they will make as
mnch cotton as they can gather.
We are gratifed to learn, says the Oxford Mercury
that the track laying on this road has commenced
at Water Valley. There is enough iron on hand to
complete the road to Cofeeyille, the next depot be-
low Water Valley. We presume it will be finished to
that point by the first of December next.
The Pass Christian Monitor, of Saturday last
states that two deaths from yellow fever had occurred
there within few days previously, and says:
These cases however, did not originate here, hui
were introduced from New Orleans by a gang O
balfstaryed, tattered and torn, unshaven and brig
audsh appearing individuals, male and female whs
have neither calling nor name, and who have arrived
here no one knows how Or at what hour, in a half

The Coffee swindIe.

A rare scheme for plumber has been
exposed in New York. The head mover
Of the game issued any quantity of circu-
lars and sent them all over the country
asking persons to become agents for a
certain coffee Company, which was going
to furnish pure article. and ON which
agents could make a good profit. If the
agency was accepted. a small sum-say
twenty dollars-must be RENTED, for
which a sample of coffee would be fur
nished. OF course those who accepted
the agency and RENTED the money, new
er beard from their principal. For three
hundred dollars the Mercantile Agency
of New York addressed fifteen thousand
Of these circulars to the country mer.
chants, whose names are on the books Of
the agency. The answers to these circu.
lars. so directed. came pouring in at the
rate of a hundred per day, and for a week
or two the receipts have been So. 900 per
day. 1t is estimated, that the merchants
thus addressed have been feeced out Of
SEQ. 200. The amount Of coffee on hand
at the advertised depot was precisely three
pounds-one pound Of each Of three sorts
and the extensive warehouse al No.
2O8 Broadway. was single room, with
two desks and two chairs. Three hun.
dred dollars paid to the Mercantile Agen-
cy. enabled this great swindlo to be sue
cessful. Either that agency knew moth
ing Of the man whom it endorsed for three
hundred dollars. and did not even take
the pains to 60 to the pretended coffee
depot, to see for themselves whether it
was bogus or not. or it knew the whole
thing to be swindle and has had share
Of the profits.

SUDDEN DEATH OF UNITED STATES
SENAToR.-Hon. Josiah J. Evans, United
States Senator from South Carolina, died
very suddenly in Washington. on Thurs.
day night. 1t appears that in company
with several other distinguished gentle-
men. he had dined at the house Of Sena-
tor Hammond, also of South Carolina,
and left there for his home after ten O. clock
apparently in the enjoyment of usual good
health. Shortly after reaching home he
was attacked with disease Of the heart,
and expired about eleven O'Clock. He
occupied his seat in the Senate the pre-
vious day, and exhibited no symptoms Of
approaching dissolution. Mr.. Evans was
about 60 years of age, and had been a
Senator for Eve years. He was formerly
Attorney General OF South Carolina, and
for more than twenty years before his
advent in the United States Senate, oc-
cupied the position of Judge of the Su.
preme Court of that State. His sudden
demise created profound sensation in
Washington. and both Houses OF Con.
gress yesterday Immediately adjourned on
hearing Of the sad event. Within a COM
paratively brief space of time. South Car
DINA has lost two Senators and Repre-
sentative by death.

For The Register.


MISSES. EpIToRs :-ln your last issue,
L find card from Mr.. Charles Holden
in reply to the statements made by Mr..
Samuel Robinson and myself. hardly
know how to treat his communication, as
he dodges all the questions. He Was
charged with having refused to submit TO
the vote cast for Mr.. Buchanan at the
last Presidential Election, and with hav>
ing refused to submit to the decision OF
the Commissioners. unless his own condi.
tions were complied with. He does not
deny either charge, but admits them both.
He however attempts to modify them by
saying that, eff was not willing to sub
NIT to his conditions. he was willing that
the polls should be re>opened. and all
parties come in and VOTE" Now, am
willing this should be done, and would
suggest the 9Th Of May, as a suitable
time. and if he gets majority, then l
will withdraw But not until then. As
for my writing as directed by my coun-
sci, l would say. have none. 1 had
been at great pains to secure the service
of my friend Maris; but found he was
sold, soul and body, TO Mr.. Holden, and
have no doubt. but his card was written
under the supervision of that most eminent
man. When it was generally supposed
that he was defeated, he desired the
books examined. and all but strict Demo
Gratis stricken off; but when his friends
SO figured itup as to give him majority,
he comes out in card and the last
sentence is that he does not think any
honorable man would ask it.
There is also card from Mr.. VIM. M.
Blair which will notice. He says that
Mr.. Holden was willing to submit to any
thing that was fair, and asks, "Why all
this lodging with the poll-boo 2" He
says Mr.. Holden told him. on the Gath
ult.. that I had gotten Know-Nothing
votes, and wished him to see how it was.
Now. on the evening of the Esd, before
Mr. Holden had spoken to him, he said.
if had a majority. he had the poll books
Of Clarksburg. and the Votes should not be
counted, and that he s0ould not sign tie pro-
ceedtngs giving me the nomination And
that is the reason the poll-books were
not forthcoming.
Mr.. Holden complains of me for oppos'
ing him, as he appointed me Deputy. II
is true, he did K: but paid him well for
it. l accepted the situation when more
lucrative one was offered me in the West
from ethe fact that 1 could remain
at home-and Mr.. Holden pledged
himself to me not to be candidate al
this election. thought the field would
be open for me. and could qualify my
self for the Office, and might ask with
some confidence the support of my fellow
citizens, at this time, and am now can.
didate. relying upon my qualification,
alone. But Mr.. Holden is again can.
didate for Office, and his excuse for disre
garding his pledges made to me. and te
others, is that he was unqualified to dis
charge the duties of the Office to which
he was elected, and from his want o
qualification has made no money by the
operation, and as he once foisted himsel
upon the people they should elect hin
again. so that he may make up what h.
has lost on account Of his own ignorance

A FEARFuL TRAGEDY.-A NEW YORK. |
MrsTERr CLEARED UR-Some time since
our readers will remember an announces
ment in the New York papers that bar
rel marked .eW. Fl. Jennings. 1876 Leon.
ard street. New York." containing the
mangled remains of female, was found
in the Hudson River Railrod depot. at
New York city. An inquest was held
upon the body at that place, and the Off
GERS commenced Investigations. Tele.
grams were sent through Canada, and it
was found tina. the barrel had crossed
the Susquehanna Bridge. The whole at.
fair remainded profound mystery until
few days ago, when q man named
Jumpertz was arrested at Chicago. II
appears he had been living in Chicago
with q female named Shopie Werner, 90
years OF age. but subsequently, deserted
her and went to Milwaukee, whittier she
followed him. The morning after her
arrival here. according to his story, he
found her in her room suspended by the
neck, she having committed suicide dur
ing his temporary absence. The mode
in which he then proceeded to dispose Of
the body is thus related by the Chicago
Times:
On the next day he took out the en-.
trails and carried them two or three
miles off on the prairie and buried them.
His FIRST thought was to throw the body
into the river, but there was too much
ice. He then procured a common case
knife and carpenters saw, and, after
much trouble he succeeded in getting
them sufficiently sharp to perform his
bloody work. After cutting the body
up, he procured a common whiskey bar.
rel, put the limbs in, after burning such
such parts of her clothing as had blood
spots upon them, and headed it up. On
turning the barrel over, he saw water
and bload coming out from the bunghole,
He took it out and threw in quantity
Of flour to staunch it. puttied up all the
cracks and painted it all over. Early in
the morning of the 18th of March. after
keeping the body ten days in his room,
he met drayman on Clark street bridge.
and asked him to take the barrel to the
depot. The drayman consented. and
went up to his room. He proceeded tc
roll it down stairs. Jumpertz fearful lest
the barrel might burst, requested him tc
carry it down stairs, but he refused, and
rolled it down as he had commenced, the
body rafting against the sides Of the bar
rel all the way down. filling him with
dread and apprehension lest the draymar
should discover his secret. The body
was finally got to the depot and shipped
to New York that morning.
Thus ends, for the present, this tale
Of blood and horror. The greater par
Of it is his own version. taken from hi
own lips. Whether he is guilty of thu
terrible crime Of murder the courts viii
determine.

IMpoRTANr DECISION By THE YIRGI MA
CouRr OF APPEALS, REGULATING SLAy ERI.
The Virginia Law journal, for April,
contains an important case decided re-
Gently by. the Court of Appeals of this.
State. Ii appears that John L. Poinds1.
ter, deceased, left a will providing that
his slaves should choose between Deing
manumitted and remaining in slavery,
and suit was brought by Bailey q ais.
and Ho1le et ais, against his executors.
The court decided in favor of the appeal
ants, Judge Daniel delivering the opin-
ion. from which We extract the following:
Under these circumstances have con-
ceiyed il to be my duty to regard the
question assons to be tested by the gems
eral and acknowledged principles pertain
ling to the subject. and not as one con-
trolled by the influence of special ad.
liudication. And when we so treat
the question, it seems to me there can
be NO longer any serious difficulty as to
the proper solution. When We assent to
the general position. as think We must
do. that our slaves have no civil or social
right, that they have nolegal capacity to
make, discharge or assent to contrect
that though master enter into tue forms
of an engagement with his slave to mans
unit him, and the slave proceed fully to
perform all required of him in the agree
'ment, he is without remedy in case the
master refuse to comply with his part oil
the agreement. and that a slave cannot
take anything nnder devise or will ex-
cept his freedom We are led necessarily
TO the conclusion that nothing short Of q
positive enactment, or Of legal decision
having equal force, can demonstrate the
capacity of slave to exercise an election,
in respect to his manumission.
So it is decided by the highest legal
tribunal of this Commonwealth that q
slave cannot elect to be ires. The Law
Journal pays high compliment to John
Howard, Esq. one Of the counsel for the
appellants. on the great olearness and
ability of his srgument.-Riedmond Dis

CHANGE OF RAILROAD TIME. = On
Monday last, the time of arrival and de-
parture of Trains at this place was
changed. The Eastward bound train
starting at o'clock. A. M, arriving at
Grafton at $50 P. M, where it connects
with the regular mail train for Baltimore.
which arrives at $40 A. M. The train
coming West now arrives here at 1922,
A. NJ. being eighteen minutes earlier
than at present.
We understand that a different ar
rangement will be made in few days.
when the train for this place will be
made to connect with Accommodation
train from Baltimore, starting from Graf
ton at P. NJ, and arriving here about
II. P. M. On behalf of our people. we
earnestly protest against any such ar
as requiring the mails to lie
