The words in the mortgage were undo - edly framed to meet the d?cidons of Courts, determining the relations betv tho mortgager and mortgagee of slaves, I to tho decision cf tuo ca^o ot W?lf n Farrel, 1 Treadwar 142, the general onii of the iiarand of the rler.ch sppears tri I .

It arose from an action Trover, lor a negro, on the jurt of thc mi '-.?g.'tf again?ta purchase ot the negro fr the mortgager. Judge Smith tn the Cc below, granted a non-sii-t against the mort gee, on the ground that the right of propt in the slave was not in the mortgagee, was-i o tho mortgager, and his title to imrchase of the slave, therefore,* was go n the Court of Appeals, both Jtid?eCoIci and Judge I?ay acknowledged that on are'Mn^nt of tho case, they were inclined think that thc decision of thc Court bel wa3 correct, but on furtherconsiderrt'ion tl had changed tlretr opinion.

The applicaliozi of these principles to ik? arno pelare me establishes that, by tho mort j ?age, J. TJ. had a conditional title to the slaves mortgaged before the failure of payr mont of the bond when din? ; but after the liiiliire of payment,,the conditional title cc-tv: cd, and the kyal title.to the slades aiortgr.-red, vested absolutely in bia. This waa the con diticn of the slaves mortgaged when eui'anci-. pation tojc plaoe. The negroes being his property the loss 3'uould ?JBLII on him. Against this corrchtsion it may be alleged that tnortfrajrer continued in possession of the slaves by the cosaent of the mortgagee, fir ar the :instauce of the moit?ager. Admit this to l o so, it does not affect tlie title to the slaves. A bankrupt's effects are in the hinds of his assiguee, at the iiutanee of the bank rupt, and by his direct appointment. This does not render the assignee liabr* to pay I for .property of the bankrupt, destroyed by I no fault of his. The possession' of the mort gager was the possession of th.; mortgagee ; and he who owns p'opr-rty, when it is des troyed, should ise ita value. But ir. may bc further ti'-ged that the mort gager could have sold tho ?'aves in hi? pos session," and have paid the deut at any tim?: dnting the last seven years. Not having doue so. and the negroes being destroyed in his hand' as property, he should make good thc bond out of his other property. Ile was guilty of humes, and should not escape the consequences of his own default. Admit tina-that the mortgager neglected his i'iterc t iin not using his equity to sell the negro** io pay the deb!, he certainly e .rr. nv lt e l no greater laches in the use of ki* wp.iilji than tit:' nir-rt^afrce did with AM pro?iff?/. 'JMJC war", !i>r four years, was a cl'-ar notice to all owners o? negro property tba*, it wa? in danger. Why did not j-.U.-, the mortjJgee, rake his nogrois-made h\* by the mortgage-and realise hi* debt ? If he did not choose to (lo so, eau he cast the loss ul his negroes hy euuinciputiun on others? The truth is, ty)th tbe mortgager and the mortgagee were guilty of equal Inches. Both had rt e pjwer of telling the slaves, and of paving ihi! debt. Neither would do so, from a false estimate of the danger hanging over the pr. pertv in the slaves. But if either of th*tn is to lose the value of the slave*, it ought to ba the 1 gal owner t i dem.

EDITOR : I would ask through thc Ada titer if there arc any regular Commissioners Public Roads in Edgcfield District; and if! how is it that the roads ero in such u miserai condition ? I have travelled a good deal ov tho District lately, end I frankly confess thal never saw them ia such a deplorable state. I mc give you tine instance. I had occasion a ft diys since to visit Augusta. I went down ti Pine-House road, and it was so washed-out ai rugged that I determined, on my return, to ta) tho old stage Hoad ; and, an old road it wi Thara 1T" "T"ca-m. mw-iwty. ?... ?.. 1. .? A.. as to make it almost impossible for any one travel it, even with a buggy. If you with know the truth of tbassertion just go with u dawn-to Horns' Creek, and on lo the old plant tion of tho late Mr. O'CONNOR, and you will 1 convinced. I dont know tim Commissioner that part of the road. If I did, I would almo be tempted to report bim. I don't suppose thi the road in that section hus been worked sin? the commencement of the war. I mean agoc rcgnlar set-down, of tho old fashion style, would proposo for the Legislature to withdra tho-charter from th.-.t part of tho ri?ul, anrl thi it bo closed up, unless it is kept in better order. Why, Fir, n strnngor mi^ht get into that roo in the dark, and break his neck, or some of h f-mily'd. It ?3^ positively dangerous to travel i even in tho day time The roads seemed to bar become demoralized as well as tho people. Lt me but montion another instance, which is th Martiu-Town Road loading Lom Ninety-Six t Augusta. It is also a true specimen of the cor dition of affairs in.old Edgcfield, so far as th roads are concerned. But it runy be said that there are no road hand now, cs there used to be, and consequently th roads cannot be kept np. I admit there may b -i.T>Ti at nf deficiency. But navo we not lot eno-.^y on this point? Aro we not almost totall; wrocked to all of the finer feelings and qualitie of humanity, sobriety apd Industry? Men wil ride over rough and.dangerous roads and pits, ti places of amiivemonts, and will not stop one mo moot to repair oven a bad place in the road ti prevent an accident that might occur tn theil families. I repeat it, wo arc io a deplorable con ditton. It is not safo to travel over these roadi as they now arc. Again, it is a duty we owe tc tho public to keep up tho highways wa have to travel to market and other places of business, It is ii shame to us of Edgcfield to let others ste the awful state of the roads as they, pass along the public highway. If you wish to receive pub lic censure lot thc roads bo like they are now, and ytm will certainly obtain it. But a word to the wise ia sufficient. I hope, MR. EDITOR, tho Commissioners will sec tbat thc roads aro put in good ordor before wc aro con strained to say more on the subjept, and save us .from always ding-donniog after them about the discharge of their duty. OCEOLA. - TnE GREAT RIOT IN LONDON.-The London journals of the 24th and 25th of ?July .give full particulars of thc reform riots in Hyde Park, London-the first intelligence of which was received here by the Atlantic cable, last week. We have already described the origin of the disturbance, namely, an order issued on the 18th ultimo by Sir Richard Mayne, Commissioner of Police in London, forbidding the usn of Hyde. Park for a mass meeting called by the Reform League, which ordor was< defied by the officer* ot the League, who insisted upon the right of the people, to moot. lu a public park. OQ Monday evening, July 29, accordingly, a large procession was formed and marched towards Hyde Park in an orderly manner.. Around thc park an immense crowd of spec tators had assembled, but-the gates had been closed by order of Sip Richard Mayne, and .a. strong forco of mounted1 police was on duty within the enclosure. The procession did nob enter the park, but the populace indignant at their exclusion, made a sudden sweep against the 'wm railings, wrenched them from their fastenings, tore down one whole side?, and then swept hito the park in a tremendous tide, lo which the police could oppose only a feeble resistance. Then a body of the Lifo Guards carno up and charged the crowd. The mount?d police and the military together made many arrest?, and the pooplo were final ly dispersed._ IST SANTA ANNA'S ESTATE CONFISCATED. -Thc Imperial Government of Mexico has by decree ordained the s?questration of the uVmstas of Don Autonia Lopea do Santa Anna, and appointed a receiver. ?ST Who wouldn't live in London ? where kid gloves ar? sold for thirty-five to forty centr a ; ?rood broadcloth ?oat for ten to twelro dol?an, and The Cholera.

Horrible .Murder. PHILADELPHIA, August ll An atrocious murder was com nutted yes terday. A well dressed man visited a house on *Race street with a young lady, and after remaining about an hour the man departed, {.saying tho lady was'aslecp and he did noi want her disturbed. An hour or two later the proprietor of the hnude visited the room, and found the girl with her head nearly se vcrcd frc-? Ler budy, with a sheet tightly tied around her. Subsequently, through a picture found in the girl's trunk, the murderer was ascertain ed to be Newton Champ? in, ex-assistant en gineer iq the navy. He was arrestad. The worunu'a name was Mary Corney and he had I'itttempted to strangb Lera'few weeks pre vious. From New Orleans. " NF.W ORLEANS, August ll. Tbe Giand Jury has made a report of tes timony on the late riots. It says (speaking of the Convention,) this assurapiion uf power by these men was a flagrant, open and 'defi ant violation of the laws, lt was an insolent and lawless attempt to subvert the Govern ment and destroy tho- Constitution, and un der the laws of most countries, would have amounted to big treason, and would be.made punishable with death. ----1 A MILITARY ARREST AT NORFOLK.-The Norfolk papers state that Mr. John P. Wil kins, ofthat city, has been arrested by milita ry authority, and sent uudcr guard lo Rich mond. The Old Dominion says : The fact.?,"as we have learned them, are briefly these: On Friday night Mr. Wilkins (who adds to bis other avocations that of I a singing class pf childreu) gave the dos'-er ono of a series of juvenile concert*, with re citations and tableaux, at tbe Opera House, the concluding piece each night being tho re cital by little Ellie, the daughter of Mr. Wil kins, of thosewell knownand touching verses, '. The Conquered Banner ;" and to give the recitation something of a dramatic effect, an other little girl, Nura, daughter of M*r. Wtv. Murphy, slowly furled a small Confederate flag while the other was reciting, and laid it on the stage as she concluded. The Hag used cn the occasion was a mere stage flag, of oourse cambric, with paper stars, and when it was lain on thc floor it remained there, iiuthotight of, till it was sent for by Major Stanhope, and we hear destroyed. The order for the arrest of Mr. Wilkins was issued on the following day._ MARSHAL IjEXEnKK.-The private correa pondent of the New Free. Press, of Vienna, .writes to that journal, on the 4th of July, from rjuhenmauth-: Marshal Benedek this day spoke to the correspondents of the newspa pers, and asked us where we were on the dav of the battle. Everybody gave bis answer. ";Now," said the General,,; you may toll all:' There is no way of Dalia?ing the misfortune." We reminded him of ihe cause ol every kind which contributed to the defeat ; bur he said, .' An honorable leader takes all thc faults on himself. I am responsible for all '.hat ha9 happened." - - -- GEN. BEA TR EC ARD A PRINCE.-The Paris' correspondent of the New Orleans f?mes, says in his last-letter : He is still with ns, or rather he is in Paris, having been called thither agsin, as I under stand it, to reconsider hi* refusal of the offer of the supreme military command from the Moldo> Wallachia Government. Jt is given out that the "French Kmperor, who is all pow erful wi tir tho Romans, is no longer adverse ?o the General's acceptance of the position. A's to tho General's owrt way of thinking or intentions concerning the matter-wait and r.?e.

About 12 o'clock tbe meeting assembled in the basement of tbe Presbyterian Church, which was filled to overflowing, and was ad di eased on the debt question by Messrs. Kitch inga and T. B.
