Good? rioh asked him to examine her; he did so, and found her three .months preg? nant. "Goodrioh asked bim to produce an abortion; he refused, but an abortion was produced, he believed, by a man named. Butts. Did not know where Butts lived; did not remember Kite Stoddard. ? Deceased said i she was a woman of violent temper. Witness could identify her, if he saw her. Mrs. Myers was not the woman. The investigation lasted till after mid-night. Among the passengers saved from the Atlantio, were S. W. Viok, of Wilming? ton, North Carolina, and a Frenchman, named Simon Camacho, who had his legs badly frozen. They were in the rigging eight hours. Passengers report that from 300 to 500 passengers of tbo Atlantio must have perished within ten minutes after the boat struck tho second time. In conversation with a reporter, yesterday evening, at Halifax, Captain Williams said he spent most of Thursday night at Mar's Hill, and personally exa? mined tbe bodies, but found none of them mutilated; but believed many bodies had been robbed. He said tbo Atlantic was sufficiently ooaled before leaving Liverpool, if it had not been for three days' heavy weather experienced. Wc wore out of our position solely on account of the onrrent, whioh must have had a Northerly set, as well as Westerly, and he allowed eight degrees Eastward to offset it, believing that to bo ample. On Monday, he was qoite sore of his position, both barometers agreeing, hut the Northerly "set" proved greater than allowed for. For two or thiee days pre? ceding, he had found the ship set to Southward and Eastward of her position. Captain W. was in tbo ohart-room on the saloon deck?less than thirty feet from the bridge?when the ship struck. All the leads and lines were in order, bat tbey naorno? ?e?n usec?not dooming them nesjpasary.

They refuse propositions for their; re? moval, and want to be'let alone, and to have the troops sent away. Captain Jaok is insolent- and overbearing; he raid he had already stated bis terms; be knew no other country, and would go to no other. Schon ichio'e speech was to the same ef? fect. Colonel Mason's command is or? dered to move at once into eamp, two miles distant, and opposite Captain Jack's eave.

A number of sqaawa and Shook Nasty Gim re? turned to camp with' tbo Commissioner; the fprmer were loaded with presents and food, and then went back to the Captain's care. It is reported that the | Modocs intend making the first attack, and the troops in consequence have dou? bled their line of pickets. Company commanders have been ordered to bold themselves in readiness to receive the enemy at any moment. Memphis, Tv;sn> April 5.?R. W. Coleman killed bio brother-in-law, John Newell, to-day. It appears that Newel), who was a dissipated man, wrote threatening letters to his father-in-law. Coleman was not arrested.

The Baltimore papers publish full accounts of the mu? nificent gifts of John. Hopkins to that oity for tho establishment of a university and hospital?, amounting to $4,0d0,00J. Thin surpasses the princely charities of Peabody and McDooogh to Baltimore. Mr. Hopkins is a native of Anne Arun del County,- Maryland, and commenced business in Baltimore without capital, j He is now the wealthiest of its citizens, and is making a noble use of his wealth. One of the hospitals ii for colored or? phans, and the Sun says that no such in? stitution as is here provided for that olass can be found anywhere else in America as this, the beneficent creation of a Southern born than, and every one of the trustees oi which was born South of Mason and Dixon'e line. The fact, however, is in keeping with the histori? cal kindness of Maryland to the colored race, half of whom within her borders bad been practically liberated before emancipation was made compulsory. We may also add that, though the bene? ficence of Mr. Hopkins is on a larger I soale than that of any of bis fellow-citi? zens, it is only in harmony with the broad and benefioent spirit wbioh our sister State and the Monumental City have manifested from their foundation, as none have better occasion to know than the Southern psopls. The visitors to Baltimore will see many monuments in religious and oharitable institutions of the-noble liberality of that communi? ty. All true Virginians will rejoice in the prosperity of Baltimore, and pray that her shadow may never grow loss. I Lynchburg ( Va,) News. Christianity in Japan.? Japan is more and more surprising the world. Since the days of the Roman Emperor Constantino, no snob revolution has taken place like that which is now .in progress in Japan. It is only a few years since'Japan was practically closed to the rest of the world. Bat how in theae few years she bas leaped forward 1 Railroads,' canals, steamboatp, tele? graphs, with a radical change in tho form of Government, indicate, tbe Japan of to-day. Our latest news is to the effect that Christianity, by an imperial edict, has been promulgated throughout tho empire. The ancient and absurd re? strictions which excluded foreigners from tho country have been abolished, and Japan is now open to the enterprise of tho world. Wo have special reason to be proud of Japan. Shu is the hope? ful and promising pupil of the young re? public of tho West. In the futuro of Asia, it is quite manifest that Japan is to be a great power. Russia is doing hor best in the North, Great Britain is doing much in tho South; but Japan, yielding to tho influences of modern civilization, yet retaining her autonomy, gives fair promise of setting a grand example to the other nations of Asia. "Nations," say the Holy Scriptures, "shall be born in a day." Japan, like Rome of old, keeps alive tbe hope that "the kingdoms of this world will yet become the king? doms of our God."?New York Herald.

Spiritualism seems to seize naturally tbe Georgia mind and possess the Geor? gia soul. At a private boarding house in ?wannah mysterious rappings gave uneasiness to ' some young men. In truth tbey were very much'excited about tho matter. Ono of them shows how tho mystery was. solved and their fears quieted: It appears, ho said, that tbo gas pipo in my room passes from tho parlor through a chamber above, and so on through my room, which is in tbe third story. Tbo obamber immediately below mine is occupied bysevoral young ladies who are in the habit of summon? ing each other, ob tho occasion requires, from the parlor below to their chamber, by knooking on tbo gas pipe, whiob con? veys tbo sound to them, tho signal being mutually understood answers the pur? pose effectually. Tho rapping is beard with equal distinctness from the third floor. It so happened that when tho o0 ourrence took plaoo as related above, several young Indies and gentlemen wero sitting in the parlor, and one of them, either in sport or inadvertently, tapped the iron pipe or rod and the rap was heard by tho young men on tbo third floor,who, ut the time, it seems, were not posted on this modus of sounds. By a singular coincidence, tho raps were regular, and in some instances, perfectly correot. Hence the alarm; henoe tbe mystery. Danville, ?d the Tennessee River, hae betaken itself to the prod action of .gigantic skeletons. Ou the river bank, where there had recently been a slide/ the skeletons of some forty or fifty per sons, some of them of extraordinary alee, have been discovered. Noarly all of them are over ssven feet in length, j and evidently belonged to a race of men who inhabited tbe country prior to the Indian. Skeleton mines, however, we I should think more likely to be interest' ling than useful. I Strong, tall aird fleet though the reiu ' deer are, able with a sweep of their I antlers, to mo down a score of sturdy I Northmen, the;, cower at tbe voioe of man. Their masters are rude, harsh and j unkind toward them, and the deer are j always in fear of them; Under no oir ; onmstanoes of oppression or hardship do they evince the slightest resentment. They are so timid that the sound of tbe'r j driver's voice sets them ranning at snob speed that they will die before halving, if , the drivers continue to nrgethem. Some poor Congressmen, we are told, "whom tbe $5,00U back pay appropria? tion left as poor as ever," have sold their copies of the "Medical and Surgical His? tory of the Rebellion" for 8100 apiece. As each member was entitled to eight copies of the work, the venders have made a good, thing of it. It oost the Government $125 a copy to print tbe book; bnt why find fault when it has probably been placed where it will do tbe most good? Death or Mr 8. T. Dbabtno.?Mr. 8. T. Dearing, son of Dr. Wm. B. Dear ing, a young gentleman well known and highly esteemed in this city, died at bis father's residenco at twenty-five minutes past 5 o'clock, yosterday afternoon. Mr. bearing has been sofiering for over a year past from a tumor in his right leg, and finally succumbed to the ravages that it mado on his system. [Augusta Constitutionalist. Mr. Grant has failed to write two let? ters confidently expeoted of him. He has not complimented Senator Clayton on his escape from investigation by the skin of Iiis teeth, neither has Senator .Caldwell been assured over the Executive sign manual that he carries with him into his retirement the Presidential sym? pathy and perfect trust. Perhaps the Col fax letter rather exhausted that vein. A Cincinnati nabob attempted to imi? tate tbe recent grand farewell dinner given by a gentleman in New York, and where one of the ornamented features of the table was a pair of swans floating in a miniature lake. But our Cincinnati friend bad to f?ll back on a gander in a wash tub, owing to a scarcity of swans in Porkopolis. The Nebraska Legisluturo was in a great hurry to get through its business, and consequently rushed matters. Among other' things, tbe boundaries of Counties wei^ altered, and in each a way as to leave portions of tho State out of any County whatever. This hasty legislation has resnlted in the necessity of an extra session. , Most little boys are fond of nuts; but few would care to swallow one whole, especially when it was made of iron r\A screwed on a bit of rod an inch and a half long and a quarter of an inch thick, as did a little boy six years old last week in Leicester, Vermont. The doctor isn't certain whether a mild (d)wreuch will suffice to unscrew it. t ** Wn.tj Resist Payment ok the Tax.? We learn that tbe wbolesalo malt liquor dealers of Augusta have determined to resist, through the courts, payment of the specific tax levied upon snob dealers by the Legislature, at its last session, and which is so manifestly unjust to that branch of trade. \ Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. An exchange states that Grant ib anx? ious for a war, so that his son's military genius may be tbe more speedily de? veloped. If Ibe son is ambitious of mili? tary fame, he should follow in the foot? steps of bis father, and trust, not to ge? nius, but to accident. A Western paper, commenting on the President's letter to tho retiring Mr. Col fax, quotes the old epigram: Tbe River Rhine, it is well known. Doth wash the city of Cologne; But toll me, nymphs, what power divine Shall over wash tho river Rhine? Mr. J. L. Mims, long u resident of this oity, died at 7 o'clock, last evening, of typhoid pneumonia. Mr. Mims was about fifty two years of age. He was a native of Edgefiold County, S. C, und came to this city in curly life. [ A ttgusta Constitutionalist. Inventions and patent rights are on tho increase in this country.

In a short time thr ro will bo scarcely a judge on tho Eugtish bench who was thero three yours ago. Such a rapid change is without parallel. Tho vivun cios are all by death, or resignation. Tho residence of ex-Lieutouait Go voruor llarlleo, at Mar's Bluff, Marion County, with tho furniture was totally de Btroyed by nu accidental lire, a fow days ago. Tho loss is estimated at $10,000. The Millerites of Vermont have learned that this world is to conclude its contract of cxiatcnco ou tho 12th iut?t. It is then to take its departure by in? stantaneous combustion. Tbo man who laid aside his flannel heoauso tho almanac said spring had come, was seen yesterday at one of tbe drugstores, hunting up a patent medi? cine to oure his rheumatism. Franoonia, N.
