CHARGED AND ACQUITTED "A young man
was brought Up on last Saturday, before B. F.
Karsner, Esq., on the charge Of breaking into
the Florence post Office, and sbstracting from Il
a number Of letters. The trial ELECTED great
number of facts and circumstances connected
with the history Of the defendant-as to his
eccentricities and outre movements generally,
50 many indeed, as 20 induce some Of our ablest
sbysieians, and numerous other intelligent citi-
zens, and the worthy magistrate himself to come
70 the conclusion, that the young man was
evidently laboTing under a species Of monsma-
MIA and hence BY the charitable laws Of God
and man not responsible, morally or legally.
OF course be was acquitted. Since the young
mao has bad fair trial, and has come out ac-
quilted, and taking it for granted the verdict
was lust, we can serve no good purpose BY
giving bis name, wishing as We 90 to hurry the
unfortunate affair in its onward travel to a
speedY obliTion.--FiGTeace GaEelfe.

/ TRAEsPLANTIEe WHITE SHAD.-A rare and
novel cargo Of freight arrived here on Wednes-
day evening last, by the Macon and WesteTI
railroad, en- route for the Alabama river. i
consisted of large wooden tank, holding on'
or two thousand gallons Of water, located OF
an open car, in which was placed some six ol
seven Thousand young shad fish, The larg'
family were alive, and seemed 10 be doing well
We understand they were taken in branches
near the Ocmulgee and 0conee rivers, IN thi
vicinity Of Macon and MilledgeVille, and beioHl
to a company OF gentlemen in Alabama, VIII
design putting them in the Alabama river an
other streams IN that State where nature seem
to have omitted to place the Simon-pure whit
shsd.
The cargo that passed here are very dimiBu
tive specimens Of the shad tribe, ranging frOu
about quarter Of az inch up to three inche
in Ieugth-.he larger ones being thin, and 81
transparent that one could easily see througI
them.
We learned from the man in charge that th
company bad a pond through which fres
ratsr stream passes, somewhere in the neigh
borhooS Of Montgomery, in which the little rs
are 70 be kept until large enough to take car
Of themselves. Or rather, until they are ol
enough 70 have some idea Of the instructive la'
Of self-preservatiou, otherwise they would pr'
baby ali be destroyed by the large hsh IN 70
rivers.
This is an interesting experiment, and "
hone it NAV proVe entirely suecessfui.-Jaci
