ONE OF THE AUsTILLs.--The Tusca
loosa Monitor says GAS party Of stu
dents of the University of Alabama were
taking a ride in skiff on the Warrior q
few days since, their beat upset and those
of them who could not swim were saved
by young Austill, one of their company.
Mr.. A. is the son of Major Jere AustiIl,
the Hero of the Canoe Fight. We take
this occasion to congratulate the .father
in having a son whose presence of mind,
cool daring and magnanimity in risking
his own life to save his companions, show
conclusively that he inherits all the vir-
tues of his noble SIRE"
We learn from another source, says the
Mercury, that this canoe affair was quite
an adventure; the party taking refuge
on an Island, from which Austill, after
dark, swan to the mainland, the current
running with such force that he reached
the shore with difficulty, after which he
went two miles to the college in his sacim-
ming costume, creating quite sensation
among such persons as saw him through
the shades of night. 1t was then neces-
sary to draw boat two miles over land
before the party could be rescued, which
was not effected until after night.

or There is false and degenerate
sentiment prevalent to great extent in
our country which cannot be too much
reprobated. The sentiment to which we
allude is that feeling so derogatory to the
character of woman, which assumes that
her virtue is dependent upon the fear or
the .forbearance of man. 1t was fully IL
Illustrated in speech delivered by one of
the Sickles counsel, who declared that
woman and frailty were synonyms, and
threatened the jury, that in case their
verdict should not justify the prisoner,
the only safe guard to their own domes-
tic peace would be removed, and that all
virtue would melt like wax beneath the
fiery glances of the intriguing libertine.
In giving utterance to such sentiments
one pays but poor compliment to the
wives and daughters of America. This
extreme zeal for the protection of wo-
man, and this sentimental sympathy
which has been so rife of late, and which
speaks of seye as if she were mere in
nocent victim, ready to fall prey to any
rowing libertine, unless watched and
protected against her own frailty," is
no less absurd than insulting to the sex.
1t betrays a low and unworthy estimate
of the sun clad power of chastity" to
which we would be ashamed to acknowl-
edge

TO THE GIRLS.

Major Weaver, the handsome % edi-
tor of the Lexington Advertiser, wants a
wife; but is too bashful to do the court
ing. as will be seen by the following para
graph clipped from his paper:
"If some of our fair friends would
court" us mot in the legal sense of that
word) we wouldn't have the least objec-
tion."
Now it is well known that we feel a
deep interest in all who are "dying to
marry" SO, recently, we took clair
voyant journey to the Majors sanctum
to offer our heartfelt condolements.--
While enjoying a delightful confab the
celebrated Phrenologist, Poof. Slant N.
Dicular, stepped in and introduced him
self Felt of our individual Uranium and
remarked that we were universal dead
head" He then examined the Majors
skull, and gave graphic delineation of
his character. We give synopsis -

the world renowned Phrenologian, Prof

very fond of cologne, orange water, &c /;
also, of substance called glass;
(NoTE: whether the Major prefers this
article in the shape of mirrors or decan-
tiers, the Prof. didn't say.) The Major
also has avery peculiar, and we may say
a very natural, penchant, for laces, rib
bons, CATERS and hoops-(NoTE: says he
has a still greater hankering after clean

as hens egg, in consequence of having
dealt largely in love letters, promises,
and sentimental poetry, and believing
everything the girls told him. Poor fellow
the Prof. told him that organ needed no
further cu!tlvation). Perceptlve organs
are well developed-can tell from years
counting whether woman will have
him, and knows exactly when to stop a
filtration in order to avoid being
" called out" by "big brother" Is
excessively vain-thinks that flowers
grow for his special benefit, and believes
that sweet song, "Thou hast learned to
love another" was composed purposely
to reproach him for his fckleness Is
very fond of children-if they have any
grown up sisters-very agreeable to some
mamas, and very polite to certain car
riage drivers. This is brief synopsis
of the Majors chronological points,

TRIAL FOR NEGRO KILLINa.-We
learn from the Mercury that the trial of
George Oliver Esq, for killing one of his
negroes, was held in Oxford few days
since. The circumstances of the deed
are these:
On Monday morning, the 18th Of
March, Mr.. Oliver went into corn. crib
where ten or fifteen of his negroes were
at work Smelling corn with machine and
ordered negro man named John, who
held a hand-spike in his hands, to work
faster, or something of that sort. The
negro appeared not to mind him; and
Oliver took the hand-spike from the ne.
gro, struck him over the head with it,
which knocked him down, and then struck
him two ticks afterwards. He then or.
dered the negro to get up, but alas his
spirit was in another world! The body
was taken out of the crib, laid upon the
ground and the coroner sent for.
He was tried for manslaughter, and the
jury returned with verdict of guilty.
A motion was made for new trial
on the ground that the Jury had inter.
course with citizens after leaving the box
the motion sustained, and the prisoner
required to give bond in $4,000 for his
appearance.

A MOVER. SIGHT.-Tbe Tribune saws,
the citizens of Mobile recently had sight
which not one of them ever had before.
That is, a camel-a native of Arabia
carrying through the streets two bales
or one thousand pounds-of cotton on its
back-carrying it easily enough, but with
some evident annoyance-for the bulky
load, not being adjusted fairly, swayed
from side to side with the long steps Of

3 An Editor in a Tight Place" Old
Tom Dryer" editor of the Oregonian,
and member of the Oregon Legislature,
says the Maripossa Gazette, has at last
got what his abusive tongue has earned
long ago. The account of his suflering's
is peculiarly graphic
z Lasaterimmediately repeated and re-
heated that we were liar and black
guard, wherupon we did take our inkstand
from the desk aud hurled It in his face,
intending it as rebuke for his gross in.
suits. More than half an hour had inter-
vened, when, as we were quietly passing
down the principal street, Lasater seized
us by the throat, at the same time plan
ting a heavy blow upon our forehead, and
rushed us into the door of store, where
we both fell upon some opened shoe box
es, Lasater on top, still grasping our
throat. After few blows he inserted
the thumb of his right hand into our left
eye, and forced it almost entirely from
its socket. AT this time, by a desperate
or super-human effort, we released his
grasp from the throat, and his thumb from
the eye, and fell fat upon the floor. La
safer then seized us by the hair, and at
tempted to gouge our other eye out,
which we prevented by turning our face
close to the floor and locking our fingers
and pressing our hands close to our eyes.
After several fruitless efforts to insert his
thumb into our right eye, he then COM
menced pounding us on the back of the
head with his fists. The only aid and
ccomfort we had were vociferous yells
of-"Give him hell" "Dig bis eyes out"
" Go in, Lasater," &c.
