same, and that the der d ,is., now in the hands of

davit the counsel for the prisoner moves that the
case be continued until the deed of emancipation
can t-e procured and used as evidence. The
Commissioner decides that the deed would be in
admissible, if produced; that he has no power to
inquire into any defence the negro.may , have a
gainst the claim-, but only to determine whether
the case presented on Abe part of the claimant be
sufficient to entitle him to a certifidate -for the re

HON. VALENTINE Be.ST.—The opposition
press has teemed for the last nine months with
all manner•of unkind sayings against the Hon.
Valentine Best, late Speaker of the State Senate.
charging him with treason to his party and all
that sort ofthing. He was'a volunteer candidate
at the late-election for re-election to the Senate,
and although defeated by a very large vote poll
ed against him in Columbia County, the result
of the canvass in his immediate neighborhood is
so strong a vindicatiotrof his character, that we
may safely re-produce it in justice to him, with •
Mathe risk of interfering in a family quarrel.—
hr a circuit of five miles around Danville, but
fourteen votes were given against 'Mr Best, and
we. regard the following vote, altogether, as the

Harm Dig.—The Boston Journal makes the
following contrast between the Lind mania and
the Missionary, spirit of the Rhode Islanders:
"The proceeds of Jenny Lind's first concert
in Providence. R. 1., were $lO.OOO. Upon
referring to 6? last Missioniry Herald the
whole state of Rhode Island appears to have
contributed for the spread of the Gospel in for
eign parts, the sum of one dollar! That State
is laying up fur. itself great treasures in Hen
yen."
The best hit at Hydropathy —The following
hit at the watereure was made by Charles Lamb,
and no one but himself could have had so quaint

derful. jor it is as old as the deluge, which, in
my opinion killed more than it cured.' -
COUNTEUFELT HALF DOLLA&S.—Be careful
and not take counterfeit half dollars : they are
in circulatiou, and so well executed that it is
necessary to look shoo before taking any coin
