each other, and holding quasi amicable rela-

so varying and contradictory, that it is difficult
to understand precisely the line of policy which
the Mcrgteans intend to pursue towa_r.d_s our com-

will find out before he returns. He has sailed
from Pensacola for the Mexican coast, with the

Curious Trial.-,-:The Southern correspondent
of the New-York E-_venin Star writes that a
strange circumstance, which is the source of
some ezgcitemeut, is about to undergo investiga-
tion in Jones county, Georgia. It appears that
some eighteen years ago, a lad of that county,
.about 18 years of age, left his home; his father
died and left a large property, and he not being
heard from, his estate was divided, and his share,
some thirty thousand dollars, was divided among
those left. Within a few months, he has ap-
peared and laid claim to his property ;_ his mother
denies him, and says he is an iruposter, as the
real person died some time ago in New Orleans,
and she paid his funeral expenses. He is to be
tried as an imposter. Opinion is equally divided
in regard to his identity; some avow he is the
man, and others as decidedly contend that he is
not. He has the same marks as the supposed
dead individual ; a scar on one of his legs and a
joint of one of his fingers amputated. He relates
numerous circumstances connected with his
leaving and early youth, and there are many he
cannot remember.
4 noble a_cl.—Prior to the recent Presidential
election, i: bet ofone thousand dollars was made
by John A___, 13,1-yon, Esq. and Col, Gardiner, now
deceased, ppqn the result of the election. The
money was won by Mr. Bryan, and the payment
of the sum fully secured by acheck, endorsed by
one of the wealthiest citizens of Columbus. A
few days after the death of Col. Gardiner, Mr.
Bryan addressed a polite note to the widow of the
deceased, enclosingthe check,—giving a brief his-
tory of the transaction, and begging her to accept
the sarrte. It was accepted. we have been in-

ifthe payment of a bond is extended before it

with a chair, which he had nearly shattered to
atoms upon her person. They immediately se-
cured the lawless and cruel monster, tied his
hands and in order to secure him in the house till
the proper authority could take him into custody,
they fastened a rope round his neck and secured
it to some immovable o_ject and went pursuit
of the municipal officers of the town. Carr was
left alone in :_1 room, where they found him on
their returnia corpse! He had fallen .‘l0W“ in
