Tkkriblb Awair AT GoUbSRORO'.-?VV?
learn by a letter received by us this morn*
ing. that a sad occurrence took place 111
Goldstar*/ yesterday rooming, by which,
probably, CVvo persons will loee 'their live#.
It that. ??omn ton days n?o, one
Odcnhiiner, a Jew of that piece, warranted
Dr. Davis, a loo ofGoldstaro', op an account,
(wliich the Dr. a Hedged was unjust.) and
for wliich and for his manner towards him,
he was caned by the Doctor. Yesterday,
the case was brought before Col. Edmonson
for trial at Andrews ?fc Washington's store;
when Odenhimer niado a statement which
Dr. Davis said, was a lie. Odenhimer said
?.h?! Dr. IX. lied, whereupon the Dr. struck
lriin tvfch a shovel. At this moment Odenliimeni
step-son, who was standing near,
drew a revolve*, nnd fired at Dr. Davis.?
The ball entered his right breast, iust below
the nipple, passed through the lungs -and
out of the back. , Odeuhiiuer then drew his
revolver, mid with his step-s.on advanced on
the Doctor. The latter, not having a weapon
of any kind, closed with the 'young
man, and, while they were struggling, Odenhimer
fired, missing the Doctor in tlio confusion
of the inelee, but shooting his step
son iu the back. Perceiving this, O'Jenbimcr
rushed up to the Doctor, and placing
bin pistol at liis head, was about to fire,
when a young man, named Robinson, knocked
him down with* a spade, almost splitting
his head open.
There were six shots fired, all of them by
the Odenhirner's. They were taken to jail."
where the elder Odenblmer lies at the point
of death.
Our correspondent writes that there is
great excitement in Goldsboro', and that
lynch law is spoken of.
Dr. Davis was not dead yesterday afternoon,
but thero is not much hope of his recovery.
.
The above are the particulars of this ter
rible affair, for which wo are indebted to
the courtesy of a gentleman in Goldsboro'.

Consumption.?Sir James Clark, of England,
has assailed, with considerable force,
the doctrine that a changfe of climate is beneficial
to persons suffering with consumption,
find a French phys'cian, M. .Carriere, has
written forcibly against it. Dr. Burgess, an
eminent Scotch physician, also contends that
climate has litilo or nothing to do with the
cure of consumption, and that, if it had, the (
curative effects would be produced through
the skin not the lungs. That a warm cli- '
mate is not in itself beneficial, ho shows from
the fact that the disease, exist ts in nil latitudes.
In India and Africa, tropical climates,
it is as frequent as in Europe and c
North America. At Malta, right in the c
heart of the gonial Mediterranean, the army jreports
of Engla.wl show that one third of
the deaths among the soldiers arc by con- 1
sumption. At Nice, a favorite resort of
English invalids, especially those afflicted e
with lung complaints, there are more native j,
horn persons die of consumption than in ar.y ^
English town of equal population. In Geneva
this disease is almost equally prevalent. 1
In Florence, pneumonia is said to be matked 11
by a suffocating character, and by a rapid a
progress towards its last stage. Naples,
whose clime is the theme of so much praise
by travelers, shows in her hospitals a mortality
by consumption equal to one in two
and one-third, whereas in l'aris, whose cli- .
mate is so often pronounced villainous, the 1
proportion is only one in three and one quar- v
ter. In Madeira, no local disease is more s
common than consumption. r
Tub A hum* i.st hat ion a>-d Gov. Walker. i .
'I lie Washington correspondent of the Richmond
South writes to that paper as follows: r
" A crisis has arrived in the history of the ?
Administration ; and Mr. Ruchanan seems |
fully sensible of the faet, and is said to be ,
embarrassed and an\ious as to what definite
answer, to give to demands so distinctly
made upon him by the Democracy of the 1
South. The result of the Cabinet session
on the Cth instant, was not to supercede
Walker, although I can assure you from the
most positive advices, that the Cabinet is ]
divided as to this aspect of the question.?
llut certainly the Administration will not
stultify itself by approving Gov. Walker's
dictatorial interference as to the duties of
the Convention in submitting the Constitution
when framed to the popular vote, as
that point is to be decided by the Conven-!
tion itself, independently of the will of the
Governor, or of dictation from any source.
In this view, his conduct can find no apologist,
so extremely has it violated every rule :
of propriety, and placed him in tho light of i
an intruder. Mr. Ruc.hanan has made no j
secret of his displeasure at the volubility of i
Walker and the gratuitous address he has j
delivered in tho Territory, by which he has ;
surrounded himself with difficulties not at-1
Uiching to hi* office, and wholly unnecessary.
It is said that the President is not disposed
to put any more serious interpretation
on this conduct of the Governor of Kansas,
and is anxious that lie should extricate himself,
without requiring any positive action of
the Administration. This is probably the
whole condition of the imbroglio at present.
A. Fa?;t Girl iv Detroit?Elopkmknt
Fki'stratrd.? A fast race aro the Detroit
voung ladies. The other night one of thein
was brought to the police office at midnight.
She was about sixteen years of age, very
beautiful, and was dressed In the best Btylo,
her habiliments, however, very much deranged,
and a ' lovo of a bonnet" smashed
put of all shape. Her pretty eyes were full
of tears, caused by flight and bewilderment,
and for some time nothing coul I be ascertained
from her in regard to the cause of her
strange appearance. She finally calmed
dow n, and w as drawn into eoversation, when
it transpired that ah * was a daughter of a.
citizen of Detroit, and had conceived a violent
attachment tor i> young man of her acquaintance,
contiary to the approval of her
parents. To cut the matter short, she eloped
with her lover, and they had just seated i
th?.nwdv:~s in a carriage, and started for t
? ????
minister'* residence, when the horses became
frightened, mo n*?T, and unset the carriage
on a pile of dirt! The last heard of the !ov?
er, he was running after the homes. 11m
girl was sent home, got into the back door,
went to bed, and appeared at the breakfast
table the next morning, no member of tbe
family the wiser for the escapade. *They

Rev. E. T. Boist, of this District, we are
happy to learn, has recently had the degree
of D. D. conferred upon him by the Oglethorpe

alien, and the ground is once again well \vaercd.
Some of the streams, we understand, ^
mve been considerably swollen, though not
nough to overflow or do nnv damage. Ve- (
elation is greatly improved, and the corn
rop, though still generally small, will, it is ^
bought, with only one or two good seasons

re considered as being a short crop. * ^
Missionary Address.

reputation as an eloquent divioe. After the 1

up for the cause of missions.

Next week the Federal Court, and the t
Extra Term of the Court of Common Pleas
ordered for this District by his llonor Judge v
D'Nkall, are to hold their respective sessions ^
n this place. Both Court- Ilousea will be

of the Federal Court, will organize
that Court on Monday, in the old Court
House, and on Tuesday morning the Extra 1
Court will commence its session, in the 1
new Court House, at 9 o'clock, and will j
perhaps continue all the week. Judge J
O'Neall will preside. Two Courts in session ?
in Greenville at once, will be something of 1
rather a novel character for her, and one
which may never occur again. As to the j
business to be brought before the Courts, i
we know nothing. *

boon unavoidably suspended, is again forthcoming,
and is soon to make its appearance
under more favorable auspices for its future
success than before. \V. B.. Johnston,
Esq., its former editor, will conduct the political
department, and J. O. Bowman, Esq.,
the literary department. Both gentlemen
have long been connected with publie journals
in the State, and are well and favorably
known as writers of ability and experience.
Under their management it will certainly
merit success. It is to be a large

Yunnan University Commencement.
The Commencement Exercises of this In*
stitutioh came off on Thursday last The
day was so bright and pleasant, and the oc
caaiou one of such interest, that the New
Court House was soon filled to Overflowing '
with the pride and beauty of the town.
The Faculty, Trustees, members of the learned
professions, and Students, formed in procession
at the Old Baptist Oburdi, and
marched to the Court House, headed by the
Band.
The exercises of the occasion were opened
with a prayer by Dr. Manly.
Now the youthful candidates for fame are
on the floor, in all the artificial glow of a
forensic disputation. We purpose to state
the subject of each speaker, with a word or
two* of remark upon each. *
Mr. R. A. Roberts, of North Carolina,
was the first speaker. His subject, "The
Qenius of American Institutions," was very
well delineated. He spoke of the motives
which induced our forefathers to cross the
deep blue sea?of our social and political institutions?of
th^ public spirit and progress
which have ever characterized us as a nation,
and of the duty of the youth of our
country. lie acquitted himself with credit.
The next speaker was Mr. J. -Elyin
knotts.of Orangeburg. Ilia theme," Speculation
on the Stars," was quite a novel
one, but full of interest. He spoko of tho
ineflicicncy-of demonstrable evidence to arrive
at any certain result concerning the
stars, but, reasoning from analogy, wo
might come to probable conclusions of a
pleasing and interesting character, lie
treated his subject skillfully.
The third speaker, Mr. Josetii E. Knotts,
of Lexington, was excused, on account of ill
health.
Mr. E. II. Graham was next introduced.
IT A pntprtiiinpil llio oiwlion/m ai?l? o
written address upon the u Work'of So- *
:rates as a Philosopher." As Socrates has
eft no writings, which have been transmit- r
ed to posterity, we must deiivo our infer- c
mces as to his worth as a philosopher from '
he works of his illustrious pupils, Plato w
n.t Vikophon, both of whom concur in
unking him, not merely the great social re- ?
ormer which sonic moderns would have n
dm be, but the man in whoso mind originted
that great philosophic truth, that no ^
wo" truths, or number of truths, can ever |
onflict with each oth^in ethics. Mr. Gra- 11
iam displayed an intimate acquaintance
ritli the principles of the Sociutic school of ~
hilosopliers. ^
The last speaker was Mr. J. F. Morrali. n

Tub Alabama Dbmocracv.?As indicnt- 1
ing the sentiment of the Alabama Democracy
on the course pursued by Governor ?
Walker in Kansas, the Eufanla Spirit of the
South says that Col. Stalhvorlh, who will
represent the Mobile District in the next
Congress, is unequivocal in liU denunciation i
of Walker's Kansas policy, and of all who ]
may sustain it. In his speech at Cahaba,||
he is reported by the Sclina Sentinal to have
said : i
44 That he was yet disposed to believe that |
Mr. Buchanan was true to the Constitution. (
the principles of the Kansas-Nebraska law ; j
but should it prove uuforlunutely to be true, i
that Mr. Buchanan should endorse 'the '
course of Walker, thereby violating tho great |
principles promulgated by the democracy :
through the Kansas-Nebraska law, he would '
repudiate Mr. Buchanan, and urge the ,
Southern people to rally as a unit in de- 1
mantling their rights in the Union if they |
could, but out of it if they ninst." i'
This, says the " Spirit of the South,11 is ,
precisely tire right position, and is in entire
harmouy with Col. Strallworth's well-known
Southern Rights principles and antecedents.
We have heard of no Democratic candidate ,
in the State who takes any other.

A IIeroio Gikl.? A burglar, whose
lame is unknown, was 6hot in the store of
Philip Fingler, in York avenue, Staten Isfnnd,
on Monday night last, Wy Miss Jane
Wilcox, who slept in the rear of the store,
ind was awakened by the noise of the burglar
rumaging among the goods. She
jpened a glass door which separated the
apai (menls, and called out, * Who is
there?" when the person started to run.
The young lady at this instant caught up a
loaded pistol which was at hand, and tired
at the retreating thief. On Thursday afternoon,
the body of a man About thirty years
of age was found floating in the bay, near
Clifton. In one of his pockets was found a
small crowbar and keys. His face was perforated
in two places by pistol shots, sufficient
to cause death. The coroner's -jury
found that the man came to-his death by
pistol shots fired by Miss Wilcox, while he
was burglariously employed in the above
tore, and commended the heroic conduct
of the lady in defending -the property of her
friend at the risk of her own life. The man
probably had confederates, who, after he
died, threw hU body overboard.

real genuine fire, that the tinkle of the engine
bells lias almost passed out of recollection.
The spell has been broken at lost,
though, by the occurienco of rather a serious,
one, last Monday night. It occurred on
Calhoun, near Elizabeth street, and, owing
to the Jateness of the hour, several wooden
dwellings wero consumed before it was
checked. This is the second or third time,
within twenty years, that this square has
suffered severely from fire. In -^D, though
not burnt during the great fire of that year,
every vestige of a dwelling was swept from
it, and so densely was it populated at that
time, that after the fire, a gentleman tells
me, he counted ninety-six chimneys left
standing. Since then, it has been nothing
like so closely built.
The ship Moultrio, one of tbe Liverpool
line, belonging to this city and owned by
John Fraser & Co., ran aground, in attempting
to cross the bar. in the early part
of last week. Her cargo consists of 900
tons of railroad iron, but a fow tons of
which have yet been saved. However,' her
rigging, spars and everything moveable and
of any value, have been taken from her and
brought up to the city. Several steamers,
in conjunction with a steam tug, have been
endeavoring to pull her off, but all attempts
have been of no avail. The exceedingly
boisterous weather, which we had during
the'whole week, regarded their efforts so
much, and caused her to labor so heavily,
Lhat her seams are rapidly parting. The
waves are now breaking over her, and the
hopes that were at first entertained of her
being saved nre now abandoned, and it is
eared she must go to pieces. This is much
:o be regretted, as she is one' of tho finest
ships lhat ever came into this port. ?
A litllo" boy, walking on the railroad

TESTIMONY OF DR. O. BUTCHER.
Gnxr.x Bank, Pocahontas Co., Apti) 10, *60.
Gentlemen?Some few months sincea patient
applied to ino for medical advice, afflicted
witli a se^?re form of secondary syphilis.
(he had been under the charge of two
physicians without deiiving relief.) I commenced
using the regular remedies of the
profession, hut the disease stubbornly resisted
all my effort*. The renutation of Caller's
Spanish Mixture having reached me,
and being personally acquainted with yourselves,
I determined to give it a trial. I did
so, and in a short time its good effects were
evident, and three bottles cured him.
As an act of justice to suffering humanity,
I cannot withhold my testimony to i's virtues
as an alterativo and prompt purifier of
the bleod, and take pleasure in reoouitnend*
ing it to the profession and lh? public generally,
Yours respectfully,
0. BUTCHER, if. aFor
Brigadier Oencral.
