" Do not despair; such cases are by no means hopeless." " I have done with hope." "I an no physician, Carter, bltt I have a plan in my head which I think cannot. fail to cure her." "Ont with it, at once. I am ready to grasp a traw if it points out the slightest hope." Have you a good sharp axe ?" I believe so." "If you have not, purchase one by all means. When volt return at noon, say as little as possi. ble to i'er, but proceed deliberately to cut down the bedstead upon which she lays." " I did not thi'tk you would make my ifflic tions a sbitject of mirth." I never was more serious in my life. Do this, and leave the rest wi it nie; btut if you do not agree to it, I wash my hands of the matter." ": inee you are seriois I will agree to any thing however ridicul ys."

Douglas, This notorious fugitive. slave addressed the literary societies of Western Reserve College, on the occasion of the annual commencement, on the 24th ult. The taste that dictated- his election to this post of honor, in preference to hundreds of white men, infinitely superior in itellectual endowmentb, literary nequirements and social status, is evidence that the triends of Western Reserve College are real republicais desirous of being. at all 'times and on all ocCA sions, ily represented by those whom they may se'ect as their organs. For this purpose Fred. Dougins answers better than any other person would, whoin they could select, unh-ss we except perhaps Horace Greeiey, Theodore Parker or Wendell Phillips. Timilia Rinilibue-like to like-:eeuis to have dictated the appointment of Fred. Douglas, and we have no right to quarrel with the liierary societies of Western Reserve College, fir showing hint a preference-no more right than we would htve, if theyi had appointed an ass as their tiouthpiece in their e..imence tient celebration. . The ball once set in motion, we may confident lv expect. that Fred. Douglas will receive the samne mark of honor and distinct ion at the hands of Harvard or Yale. Certaiii it ik, he has adni. rers who till the protessoria:l ehairs of these institutions ofI learning, and Southern students who are wotit to resort to thei for instruction in philosophy, science -and morals, may with confidei:cee expect at no distant day to be etilglit ened and edified by this sable orator upon " the claims of the negro race." It' Southern parents and guardians will.persist in sending their sons and wards to Northern colleges to be taught moral science by a Way laud, and physical science by a billiman--both ratnk abolitionists; if they will force .heir pat riage tpon Yale and Harvard in despite of the declaration of their professors that they do not desire Southern patronage, they may reasonably e:xpect that Fred. Douglass, or Wendell Philipi, or Abby Kelly will favor their sois and wards with homiies upon " tho claims of the negro race," on commtfencemtfle daysi. What a beaui fitl finale to the collegiate career of a Southern st iklenti in a Northern college would it be to re eeive his diploma at. the hands of Fred DuIglass, the lIre tntation accmpanied by an address up)onl t It-iininess of slavery The'0literdry rtocieties. of Western Reserve College did not surely neglect to elect and initi ate Fred. Douglass, as,1tn honorary member. And we presutne that thid Trustees and Faculty of the College did not fitil to confer upon such a distingikled sacant he signilieant degree of A.S.S. If these marks of regard, alike appro pri:t to the recipient, and to those who may conIer them, were omittid, we suggest that the omission lie at once repatred. Then the sable orator antd his considerai patrons would all be branded asses. The New York TribunQ is very much elated by this attempt to enni b1i Fred. Douglass, for getiig that the inevitab effect will be to do rale his frieids and ljUa11patrons to the same Soci:1 position that lie pecu-pies. It fdr'ewarns the politicians and metnbers of Congress fiom the South to be prepared to encounter Fred. ere long in the l1ontse of Representatives, when they will be forced " to respect his abilities as they dserve." Sio look out for Fred. Douglass! Blut sirely Greely will--not be so inconsiderate as to expos..*.iis friend a id protege to the hazzards of being er.ptured and restored to slavery. In qtucl an event, the literary societies of Western Rteserve College would never again be favored with a -ectore frion their sable commenement, orator ot " the claims of the negro r;ice."

They were onducted by a very .distingnished Indian ohlieer who possessed unnsual opportunities for obtain ing infortation frota the wilder and less known parts of the contitry. The wolf in lidi.i is looked upon as it former. lv was in Northern H urope, as a sacred animi. ANitost all I lindoos have a superstitious dread of de-,troyiing or event injnring it ; auid a village cotmuttnity, withIin the boundary of~ whose lanids a drop of ~wolf's blood htas.allen, believes itself oomted to destruction. The natural consequen ecs is, that in thme districts less frequented by Europeans, these animals are very numerous and destruct ive, and great ntubers of children atre otstantle enrried off by them. Onily otne class of the poptulation, the very lowest, leading a -va gant life. and hivoutacking atmong the jungles, ill attempt to kill or catch them. Even these, however, although they have no superstitis fer of the woilf, are always found to be well acquainted with its usual dens and haunts, very seldomt at tempt its captuore ; in all probaubility front the profit they make of the gold and silver brace lets anid neckkcees worn by children whom the wolves have carned toi their dents, anid whose remains are left at the eitranice. In all parts of idia, it app~her, n tinbers of children are daily murdered fur the sake of these danirerous orna mets, 'The wolf, however-, is sometimes kinder than mn. lin thle neighborhood of Soh atipoor, andiu amotg the ravines that initerseet the baunks of the Goomtnee river, this amimat abotunds; anud our hirst instance of a ' wolf nurse" ocurs in that listrict. A trooper, passintg along the river bank near Chandonr, saw a large female wolf leve her deii. followed by three whelps and a litt le boy. 'lThe boy wvent on all fours, apparent ly ont the best possible terms with his fieree cotpaniotns, and the wolf protected him with as much care as if lie h-id been one of her own whelps. All wvent down to the river and drank, without noiicing the trooper, who, as they were about to turn hack, pushed on in order to secure the boy. But the ground was uneven, anid his horse could ito! overtake them. All re-entered the den ; and the trooper then ..asemnbled some people fromt Chandlour, with piekaxes, whio dug ito the den for about six or eight feet, when the old wolf bolted, fdllowed by her three enbs and the boy. rTe trooper, accompanied by the flee test young mien of the party, mounited and pur sued i and htavinig ait last headed them, he turned te whtelps anid boy ( ito ran quite as fast) bacek upon the men on fout. They secured the boy ad allowed the others to escatpe. I lie boy thus taken was appatrently about nine or ftn years old, and htad all the habits of a wild animal. On his way to Chantdour he struggled hard to rtush inito every hole or den lhe paissedl. The sight of a grown up -person alaurmed film, and lie triedl to steal .-way ; but lhe ruished at a child with at fierce snarl, like that of a dog, and ried to bite it. Cooked meat he would not eat, but lie seized raw food with eagerness, putting it ott i le ground utnder his hands, anid devouring it with evident pleasure. He growled angrily if any one approached him whilst eating, bit made nio obiject ion to a dog's coming near and sharing hi'u food. 'The trooper left him in charge of the Rarjah of usunipoor, who saw the boy immediately after lie wvas taken. Very soon [afterwards Ito was sent, by the Rajaht's order, to Captain Nichtolett's at Sulttanpoor ; for althouigh his parents aLre said to have recognized him when first captured, they abandoned him on finding that lie displayed more of thte wolf's than of human nature. L4e lived in the arge of Ctntin Nicholeitt' servants nearly three years, very inoifensive, ex cept when teased, but still a complete animal. He could never be induced to keep on any kind of clothing, even in the coldest of weather; and on one nesasion tore to pices a quilt, stutTed with cotton, and atle a portion of it, cotton and all, every day with his bread. When his food was placed at a distance from him, he ran to it on all four-like a wolf; and it was only oi rare occasions that lie walked,upright. Huinm beings lie always shunned, and never willingly reniained near them. On the other hand lie s'eemed fond or dos and jack.ls, and indeed all aniials, and readily allowed them to feed with him. He was never known to laugh or smile, and was never heard to speak till within a few minutes of his dealh, whon he put his hands to his head and said it ached, and asked for water, which he drank and died.-English paper.

It supplies an important link in the chain of railroad communieation between the valley of tihe Mississippi and the Southern Atlantic sea board, bringing the two points some 200 miles nearer each other than any other route. If the people of that section of the coun-ry :re wie, they will see that this important enterprise is pushed forward widh vigor to its comileion." These two responses from opposite extremes of the country, show that the feasibility and great importance of this enterprise, are such as to arrest the attention, and impress the minids, of intelligent spectators every where. A glance at the map, indeed, is suflieient to show that a direct route from- Charleston to Louisville, or Cincinnati, has great advantages over a connec tion of these cities with any points to the North of us. The other question, of the easy practi Cabilitv of such a route, ha-i been most cTieetually solved by the surveys of Mr. Lythgoe and Mr. Latrobe. Not only by nature we hamve the most favorable position in regard to distances, but we have also the simplest and easiest passage through the mountains. Every consideration is in our favor. The opening of this manificient communication will cost Sotith Carolinat no more than six millions. It has 'cost New York thirty, Philadelphia scarcely less, and Baltimore over twenty millions. Yet all' triese Northern routes; prssing upon each other in close and eariest rivalry, are loaded with business beyond their capacity to perform, and every year is ad diig enormously- to the pressure upon their powers of transport ation. Mr. Gourdin, in his Report, has shown that this Road will opeii to us a connection with ten millions of people, and this in a region where tile increase of population.and.wyealth. are great beyond a parallel. In a century it will bring us in commaunication with a population larger than that of Great Britain. To doubt that such a Road will be prolitable, would be to doubt the plainest results of an accumulated experience. It would be equally unreasonable to maintain that the whole State is not deeply interested in this great work. It will draw the riches of the West into her bosom ; it will open the West to the enterprise of her sons ; it will assure to us inexhatimible resources in the exchange of commodities; it will enlarge the means of profi table investment of capital; it will stimulate now forms of industry to supply the wants of new customers. But if it were to benefit Charleston alone, considering how great and certain the benetit is to be ; how directly the growth of the city con tributes to the resources of tie State, and how it indirectlv influences the hopes and activity of every department of industry throughout the whole body politic, and that the inve.stnment of capital ill tie enterprise is certain of a good return of interest, we should I'Me that the State was bound by every consideration tif policy to secure its early success by a liberal subscription. We urge this matter tnow, because the election of tmembers of tile Letgislature'is before the people, and it is of no~ little imtportance that there should be-some indication of their opinions. In the last Legislature, there were few whlo were tnt convinced that the work had fair claims to the support of the State. They saw howv much it promised of increase to our facilities, our tesotirees, and our commerce. They felt that it was a great work ; and if carried through, that its good results were not douibtfttl. But it had not, been generalliy discussed, and they were reluctant to, pledge thle funds of the State in a matter which their constituents had not had an opportunity to judge of. WVe matke no com plaint of this caution ;it is praiseworthy. But the means of a just judgment are now .within the reach of the peoplie. The proofs are ample that the Blue Ridger Railroatd is an enterprise perfectly feasible ; thaut it promises great antd enduring benefits to thle State ;and that the sub scriptiion of the State witll essentially contribute to its speedy completion. We cannot believe that the people will be indirn-rent to these con sidierations wherever the .sub je'ct is fairly presen ted to them. This is whlat we desire. It is for a great interest tof the State that we appeal for the aid and encouragement of the State.-Char leston Mercury.

By request we publish below the decision of Judge GeLCHRIST, of the U. S. Circuit Court, before whom the Augusta Bridge case was ar rued in CharJeston, in February last, granting an injunction in favor of the City Council of Augusta-vs. JoxEs & KFNNEDY. The City Council of Augusta, in the State of Georgia. vs. James Jones and Joseph J. Ken. nedy, citizens of South Caro!ina-Bill for In junction and Relief. The present is an application made by the City Council of August;, in the State of Geor gia, for a writ of Injunction. to be directed to the defendants, James Jones and Joseph J. Kennedy, enjoining and restraining them from disturbing the complainants' franchise, or demanding toll of persons passing the complainants' bridge over the Savannah river, or molesting any person or persons on aecount of the use of the said bridge. The bill alh-ges that by the Convention of Beaufort, concluded between the States of South Carolina and Georgia, on the 28th of April A. D. 1787. the boundary between the States of South Carolina and Georgia is declared in the following terms, that is to say: " the most north thern branch or stream of the river Savannah, from the sea or mouth of such stream to the tork or confilnece of the rivers now called Tugaloo and Keowee. and from thence the most northern branch or stream of the said river Tugaloo till it intersects the northern boundary line of South Carolina, reserving all the islands in the said rivers Savannah and Tugaloo to Georgia, shall forever hereafter form the separation, limit and boundary between the States of South Carolina and Georgia." That the language of the sail convention is open to a question of construction, and Georgia claims that the meaning of the " terms the most northern branch or streams of the river," is the same as time most northern part of the stream ; whereas South Carolina has always contended that her boundary extends "ad mediumfie aque" with- the exception of the is!ands which all be lung to Georgia. The Bill further shows that Gazaway B La. mar, being seized and possessed of the lands on both sides of the Savannah river whereon the Bridge between the City of Augusta and Edge field District, is built, and of the bridge connect ing tihe s:id hnd, and possessed of a right to de tmand tolls for crossing the said bridze as an ex elusive privilege granted by the States of Geor giaand South Carolina, respectively, first to Hen ty Schultz and John McKinne, and then to the Batik of tlhe State of Georgial, by deed bearing date 21st of Z.lav, A. D., 1840, for the price of our hunndrt d thousand dollars,conveyed ttie land and btidgc and the right of taking tolls to the complainants. That the title of the complainants to the bridge, and the land on both sides of the river on which it is built, was acknowledged by the State of South Carolina in the year 1845; in which year the Legislature of South Carolina passed an Act, entitled "AnAct.to, i.corporte certain S6eielies and Companies,and to renew and amend certain Charters, and for other pur poses,"-by the 26th and 27th sections whereof it was enacted, that the charter of the Augusta Bridge, after the expiration of the existing grant should be vested in the South Carolint Railroad Company ; but required as a condition precedent to tle right of taking toll, the grantees to pay to the complainants, by the names of the proprie tors of the present bridge, the value of that part of the bridge which lies in South Carolina, and directed that the value should be ascertained by Comissioners. That in 1848, after the charter granted by the State of South Carolina to those under whom the complainants' claim' had expired, the com phinants' rights were admitted by the Legislature of South Carolinta by the 22d section of an Act to establish certain roads, bridges, and ferries, for by that Act the Legilature granted the right of takttg toll at the said bridge to Henry Schultz and Jolin aeWnne, under a proviso, that the said grant should have no validity, utless the lit. igation for the property of tle bridge,in the Su preme Court of the United States, should be termina ted by a judgement againstthe complain. antts,-which suit was heard at Jattuatry Term, 1849, and the complainants title to the bridge sustained. That after this judement in the complainants favor. as thie proprietors of the bridge, the Legis latture of South Catrolina by the 26th sectior, of an Act to establish certatin roads, bridges antd fer ries, retmoved the condition on the grattt to Schtuhz and McKintne, atnd atnthorised them to taike toll for passing the complaitnants bridge from a. Il persons goin;g from South Carolina, on cotnditiotn, tneverthteless, that no person should be exposed to double toll; and that under color of this atuthtority, the defendatits as assignees of Henry Schultz and John McKinne, attempted to levy inlk, but were restrained by an Injuetion from the Court of Equity in South Carolina, on the grotund thgt the condition was not complied with. The bill further alleges that the complainants being seized of lattd Ott both sides of the river by a legal bona tide title, and possessed of the br-idge connecting those parcels of land by pur ciiase unider the original builders, and autthiorized by the laws of Georgia to take tolls for passing the said bridge, the complainants' right to their bridge is exclusively, and atny pretence by which tratvellers are made to paty to other persons for the use of complainants' bridge is a plain distur bance of their franchise. Yet the defetidants, under pretence of an au thority frout the State of South Carolina, have compelled passengers using complainants' bridge to pay illegal tolls to them, anud still continue to do so. Ti'at the complaimmafts have commenced an action at law naainist the defendants for dis turbaneec of their francehise-and thtt thte comn plaiants might wvell have htoped thatt the defen dants would have desisted from levying toll from passenigers using complainaints' bridge until the right wvats tried at law. But that now so it is, the defendants, to atnnoy and itnjtre the complain nttts, pretend that the Augusta Bridge hats been transferred to them by the State of Soth Cairo lina, by virtue of the 27th section of an Act to establish certaitn roads, bridges r.nd ferries, paissed 20tht of Decettber, A. D., 1853, in the following term, that is to say, that the defendants, assignees of Henry Schultz atid John LeKinne, be anid they are hereby authorized to collect the tolls prescribed by the 21st section of the act to es tablisht certain roads, bridges and ferries, passed 19th December, A. D., 1848, from all persons passing from either side over the bridge across the Saivannah River at H-aminburg and Augusta provided, however, that nothing herein co~ntained. shall itt any wise impair or prejudice atny right or property claimed by the City (Council of Augus ta in respect to thie one-half of the materlial struc ture of the said bridge within the territorial limits of this State. Which act, the comtplainamnts' in sists, confers no right on the defendatnts because of the defect of power in the Legislature of South Carolina to deprivrthe complainants of tiheir property, and transfer the same to another without their consent, except by due course of the laws of the land. From the foregoing general outline 'of the complainants' bill, it appears that the question of. boutndary between the States of South Carolina and Georgia is made as having an important bearing on the complainiants' rights. But for the necessary that that question- should be now eoD. sidered, as therejt.othlrgionds takingin coing plainants' bill ot 'which their 'rights cani'be -de' termined witlioati-eference.to-th boundaiy qudsk, tion. It is seen"that.the, cowpi at'claiin right of property in the irid,'ind thilai oin both sides of tbe-river on hich it'is'beiundir and by virtue of'tlie conveyance frboiGaziit B.

And the acts of tlhd:t'i!L t~ (of the State of South Caidlina ,feferred tio I the bill seem to recognize'that'right'." Evin tb act of 1853, on'Wvhich the defnidants rtlfeld claims, appears to akiiowledge that g'gni the proviso that nothing thlrein Oedntained shallin" any wise impair or prejudice-any right -fro. erty claimed by the City Council'of"Atiusta, ini respect to the oneihalf of the 'material structuie of the said bridgi,, within the teirritoriallimits; of this State." And I apprehend that this right is not affected by any question which j iay'be made as to the extent of the comblainants title to that part of the land oh which, the eateril structure of the ridge, within the ti'ritoriaIl limits of this ;We rests-for, even ad'itingnr that the comp inants have not an .absobitie title to it, their right -or property in the mateis of bridge, may be.regarded as unimpairedther by. The ruling in the case of Hanison vs. Pa ker (6 East's Reports, p..154) is an-nuthorityin point. 4C A The owner of certain land granted to th plaintiff the privelege of building a bridge. it The m.iterials were furnished- by the plaintiff whese property they were, and he neve pr'ted with his property in them to any other,bul onl gave a right to the public. of possing over them iin the form of a bridg.e Held that the-publio had only a license-to make use oftthe mterialsI while part of the bridge for the purpose of p sage ; and when- they ceased' -to be part of th bridge, the plaintiff's- original property in thgi reverted to- him, discharged of the right of usel by the public. I am aware that the late Chancellor Harper, in the case of the Rail Road Company. vs. Jones, (4 Richardson's Equity reports, p 647,) express-. ed an opinion in direct opposition to the prini pies of the authority just cited. - He thers held "that all the coniplainant Schultz's rigt ind-i-2 terest" in the br over the 5av ter." That "the franehse orex : V eg . whic'h constituted it his property, no longer exists, and the material structure is attached to and part of the soil, and would be the property of the States, the owner of that soil, if the franchise had not been renewed to another." Now. while Ientertain the highest respect for the opinions expressed by that learned Judge, who adorned andillustrated the Chancery bench of his State, I cannot regard an opinion express. ed on a point which does not appear to have been made and argued before the Court, as a binding authority sufficient to overrule the deci sion of the English Court upon a question direct. ly at issue before it. Viewing therefore the motion before in the aspect in which it has been' considered, I think that the complainants are entitled to the injunc tion which they ask, and do accordingly order and decree that the writ issue as prayed for, the injnetion to continue until further order.
