The Albany Atlas and the. Administration The Board of Supervisors Tho Board held a regular meeting at the county The Yellow Fever. The Yellow Fever in Virginia has at length ceased ravages. A correspondent of tho Richmond Dispatch writing on Monday last from This Fapr has the Largest Circulation of any Evening Paper published in the United States. Its Value as an Advertising Medium is therefore apparent.

THURSDAY EVENINGrWTOBER 11. Elopement, Intemperance, Mckdeu. A correspondent the New York: Tribune, writing from Jacksonville, Telfair. County, Georgia, SeptemberwlS tho.state. of morality down South.

Telfair County contains only threo hundred voters, and small ns.the white population is, there have boon no less than four homicides within the hist four years in this little village of Jacksonville, so that tho expression, "facilis descensus Avend," which somebody, I do not'reecllect who, has translated "The gates of holl lie open nlaht and clay Pnionlh the doacen and isy Is the way." applies with much propriety to this pluco. It appears quite an easy matter hore to send people out of this world, and most of them are so bad that they would bo unhappy in a very good place. Just two weeks ago to day, ono of tho daughters of a largo slaveholder of this placo cloped with a man who had been accused of perjury. His trial was to takeplaeo at the next term of the Superior Court. Her parents had boon watching hor for some time, but on that day thoro was a political meeting, and while hor father was gono to it, sho went away.

When ho returned his auger was greatly aroused. Ho. hunted for tho Gloried partv in overv direction, but could Atlas Head Out. The following article from tho Washington Ciore of yesterday cuts off the leading soft shell organ from all connection with the administra tion Anotiieii DESKitTEit Gone. Tho Albany Atlas for mal ly announces its inability longer to sustain the presont administration, its editor lias deemed it necessary to devote two columns in a recent number of his paper to the assignment of his reasons for his course.

We beg leave to assure him that, after carefully reading his vindication, wo thing ho has deno exnetly what consistency and honesty required him to do and our only surprise is that those consider ations did not impel him to an earlier confession of his abolition proclivities and adoption of his present position of antagonism to the administration. Abol tionism stands out prominent through his long as signment of reasons, and, boiug alilietod with this unfortunate mania, ho could not be expected to support an administration which has lost no opportunity to manifost its opposition to abolitionism in nil its shapes, nnd to defy its assaults in whatovsr manner made. Wo shall not allude to the singular.position which tho Atlas has occupied for two years as the recognised friend, and in in some respects orgnn, of the administration, when tho hostility of that administration to abolitionism was as well known as it is now, and when the Atlas know that it was recognized and patronized as a sound democratic journal, and freo from tho taint of Abolitionism. Thero is no further ground for mistake tho Atlas does not now support the administration, and for this very satisfactory reason that the administration has no sympathy with abolitionists, and desires no support from them. These remarks are necessary to avoid any erroneous inferences from beind drawn if tho enemies of the administration should seek to fix upon it the charge of complicity with abolitionism by quoting from the Atlas as an administration organ.

It is but frank to say that the administration cannot expect, and does not desire the support of any journal or any individual whoso sontiments are so clearly at war with the compromises of the constitution as are those expressed in sovoral late numbers of the Atlas. To loso the support of such a journal is by no moans agreeable; but if ite influence wore ten fold groator than it is, thero could bo no hesitancy in the course which regard for consistency and self rospoet would imposo upon the administration. Tho Atlas can follow its abolition proclivities, but the administration will move on in the even tenor of its democratic way. Repentant Courtezans. It is an ill wind that blows jiobody the evil tidings that have been conveyed daily for some time past from the plague stricken cities of Virgiania are not after all to be unmitigated evils.

In New York they are, they say, getting up Protestant Sisters of Charity, to be ready to go to aid the sick and unfortunate should a like emergency aries. A correspondent of a Philadelphia paper, writing from New York, speaks as follows of the society and its component parts Some ladies of the first class are enrolling themselves in this noble band, and among them, too, will be found one or two of less reputable notoriety who are disposed to lead a newlife, and beg to show their sincerity in this Christian manner. We can mention one, we suppose, in confidence. Her name it would be idle to repeat. She is known by the soubriquet of the Countess of Blessington, and has been famous in her time as a voluptuary of the most fashionable and unscrupulous character.

She is the female who deliberately cowhided one of the Ravels in the streets of New Orleans. She was cruelly betrayed in her youth vowed revenge upon the whole race of male kind has coolly ruined, hey say, more gentlemen than can easily be enumerated and now, in her remorse, purposes to devote herself to heaven as a Sister of Charity. Sub Marine Telegraph. Since tho disastrous termination of the recent attempt to lay the sub marine telegraph wire between Cape Breton and the coast of Newfoundland, (made in the latter part of August,) tho impression has been prevalent that the project was abandoned. So far from this, the gentleman engaged in the enterprise are sanguine of success and only await the return of another warm season to repeat their endeavors, as the months of June and July arc the only ones when the wire can bo lain with safety.

In the meantime, a settlement will be made with the London insuranco companies respecting the lost wire, which will cither be restored, or its loss compensated for. As to the ultimate recovery of the wire, there is said to be no question, as one end remains fast to the Newfoundland shore and with the aid of suitable mechanical apparatus it may be drawn in. Its entire length is forty miles; and its weight is 160 tons. The land portion of the line, extending from Capo Ray to St. a distance of 400 miles, is very near completion, so that the next steamer from that direction is expected to bring intelligence that it is done.

The telegraphic company expect to incur no absolute loss from their recent misfortune, except in point of time. The present year, however was expected to "Be an important one, financially, on account of the value of European intelligence, and the large revenue it might have afforded. Peciotaby Profits or ArTnoitsmr in the Uxited States. A statement of the incomes of successful authors in this country from the sale of thoir books correctly returned, would form an interesting chapter of literrary statistics. Referring to this subject, the American Publishers' Circular says We were casually informed by a Boston publisher (Mr.

Littlo, of Little, Brown that their hotiyc could show receipts for money paid for copyrights, to tho amount of half million of dollars, of which one hundred thousand was paid to single family, which still retains the copyrights. Many other publishing houses an quote Bimilar documents, and they would he of considerable interoet to those who havo contended that gonins, with us, is left to strugglo and languish without recompense." Tho N. Y. Herald says tho half shell (loncral Com mittoe passed a scries of resolutions lust night congratulating the democratic party in Pennsylvania and Ohio on their victory ovor tho fiisionists, and calling on the hards and softs in this State to unite on a common ticket to achiovo a similar result at the ensuing election. A committee was appointed to consult on the proprioty of choosing a State ticket composed of an equal number of hards and softs, taken from tho respectivo Stato tickets, to be put forward as the candidates of tho Union democracy.

Well timed Advice. Tho Baltimore 1'atriot, in an article criticising the late war letter of the Clinrlcs ton Mercury, says "Lot South Carolina render herself independent of tho North, not by force of arms, but by superior cheapness of manufactures by making shootings and shirtings at southern mills; by tanning hor own hides, instead of the hides of her puritan sisters by making cr raising her own "ducks," instead of buying either the cotton ones of Massachusetts or tho feathered ones of Muscovy by pegging her own shoes, instead of pegging away at fanatical shoemakers, and by eneoiraging no "drillings" but such as nro of domestic manufacture, three quarters wide, of a round, even thread and of serviceable quality. These are my points, young man, and I am incliucd to think you will find them a good deal better than your own." non. Samuel D. Hubbard, Postmaster Genera under Mr.

Fillmore, and ex momber of Congress, died at his rcsidonco, in Middletown, on 1 iuoiiuy uveuiuy. jail yesterday afternoon. A. P. Stanton, prof sided, and quorum of members answered to their names.

Tho minutes of tho lost incothig woro road and approved. A number of bills woro prosontod and refbrrod to tho Com. on Accounts. Mr. Bergen presented a communication from the County Treasurer, giving tho amount of fines and from whom receivod for violations of the liquor law, Binco that enactment wont into effect, viz From James Hoyt, Justice, Flatlands, $10 J.

Referred to Lunatic Asylum Committeo in connection with tho Superintendents, with authority to appropriate $600 to the above object. Sup. Caldwell moved that copieB of tho report of committeo on accounts of Superintendents, when printod.bo distributed among tho members. Sup. Itowe moved that the report with tho report of tho Superintendents, bo printed in the Eagle and 'limes.

Sup. Garland inovod that the Journalha added. Sim. Lindsay moved that all tho papers in tho Lcounty be included. Hup.

Sup. Bogart favored tho publication as due to the citizens, and hoped tliut it would bo published in ov ry paper in the city. Sup.

Bergen would voto for two papors, but not for all in the county, and thorol'oro to settle tho matter he would move that tho subject bo indefinitely postponed. Sup. Caldwell opposed postponement, and advocated publication tho best moans of preventing fraud hereafter. Sup. Lindsay thought this matter about tho Superintendents was brought up at this time for political purposes to make them appear as ridiculous as.

possible beforo the public. lie was opposed to spond ing $500 or $600 for printing in papors which had 200 or 300 circulation, and he doubted if any paper in Brooklyn had over 2,000. Lot the Supervisor call at the Eagle office, and ox amino for himself as to our circulation, and wo are confident he will not make another assertion of the kind. Sup. Bergen's motion was put and lost, as also was tho amendment of Sup.

Garland, to advertise in the Journal. Mayor Hall suggested the propriety of publishing the reports in all tho English nowspapers in the County. Sup. Bogart withdrew his motion in favor of that of Mayor Hall. Sup.

Lindsay suggested tho publication in a German newspaper. Sup. Fenton advocated as extensive a publication as possible. Mayor Hall's amendment was carried. Sup.

Bergen movod on amendment, that tho rate allowed bo tho same as givon by tho State for publishing tho Laws. Lost, ayes 11, nays 12. Sun.

Wright, 72 00 Isaac Dcvoc, SI 00. Sup. Middleton called up tho report of the Com. on Courts. It is as follows Tho Com.

on Courts report that in accordance with tho direction of this Board, they havo advertisod for plans and specifications for tho new Court House, to be locatod on Vandorbilt avonuo. Your committeo havo receivod the plaus of thrco architects, but one of which was accompanied with specifications. After careful examination tho committeo havo given preference to the plan presented by AsaStebbins and recommend its approval in tho event of a final determination to erect tho Court House, and submit tho annexed resolution for adoption. VjXltcsolved, That tho Com. on Courts be authorized to advertise for estimates in accordance with the plans mid specifications of Mr.

Asa Stebbins, and submit said estimates to this Board for final action. Sup. Stryker moved that Mr. Patton be substituted for Mr. Stebbins.

Mayor Hall hopod the Board would pause and reflect before it goes into a matter of this kind, and argued that it would bo an injury to the business interests of tho city to build a court house at this time and in tho neighborhood selected. Sup. Middleton spoke in favor of the report and resolutions. It was hard to locate a building for such purpose to suit every body. Those lots were purchased for $1000.

What shall wo do. The other day they could notprocuro a jury room, and they lately ordered Mr. waring to lease tho hall and whore then is the room so much talked of. Thought tho spot selected was tho best that could be procurod. Tho fuct is we have got on the wrong tide of the street; if the Court House was to bo built on the other siko it would perhaps suit some mem bors, and others would have no objection if the site was located the Ticmity ol their property, ihe site was selected and purchased by a former Board, and it was the one we wanted and would have.

Mayor Hall said he had no property in tho city of Brooklyn to bo benefitted by the erection of a Court House. Sup Bergen thought that if the Court House was built on the spot selected, it would not bo occupied by the very ones for whom it was constructed. He movod that the wholo subject bo indefinitely postponed. Carried 12 ayes to 11 nays. A motion was made directing the County Treasurer to prosecute all Justices of tho Peace, who had not paid over the fines receivod by them under tho prohibitory law.

Somo discussion ensued, and tho subject was eventually referred to tho Law Committee on report. Board adjourned till Wednesday two weoks. Women's Rights in the Olden Time. Some of the earliest notices of boxing matches upon record, singularly enough, took placo between combatants of the fair sex. In an English journal of 1722, for instance, we find tho following gage of battle thrown down and accepted Challenge Elizabeth Wilkinson, of Clorkenwall.

She may oxpoot a'good thumping 1 The half crowns in the hands was an ingenious device to prevent scratching. Heroism op a Doa in the Crimea. The following account of the exploits of a dog in the Crimea, which we translate from the Gazette cf Trieste, surpasses everything heretofore recorded of the devotion and bravery of this noble animal A groat sensation has been causod in tho camp of tho allies by ths heroic deeds of a dog belonging to Colonel Matmann, of the 73 Regiment of the Lino.

On the 16th of August, during tho bat'le of Tcher naya, tho quadruped broke his chain, fought in the ranks of tho army, saved tho life of a sergoant and a soldier, and took ths Russian prisoners. A ball struck Jala foot, but tho wound only embittered the animal tho more. Ho throw himsolf iipon a Russian officor, flung him to tho ground, and dragged him to the French by his ooat collar. A physician has bound up tho wound, and tho four footed hero is convalescing. Ho will probably receive somo mark of honor as another dog in tho English army had been rewarded with a metal for his dovotion to his master.

A Grave Question Solved Paternity Settled. Gov. Gardner, at tho American Convention on Wednesday, intimated that in his judgment the mother of the fusion movement was a political harlot. Col.

There is no mistake about this now. I am ready myself, with many others who havo seen it, to bear willing testimony to the appearance of a white frost this mornir g. It is now to be seen on the house top' and upon tho siill unwilled grass and flowers, that will soon show its withering effect. As this will bo death to vegetation, so I hope it will be to the fearful fever that has robbed our firesides, made our hearths dcssolate, and peopled the graveyards." A letter from Portsmouth, dated the 5th gives an account of returning life in that city. Affairs were commencing to assume a cheerfu' aspect, though still drear and lonely.

At one time last month, there was not a store of any kin'' open in the town tho Charity Store ex cepted now there are from ten to fifteen large retail stores. The Bav line of boats was to have commenced their regular trips this week, and the streets to be again lighted with gas. The following touching paragraph is contained in the Norfolk correspondence of the Petersburg Express "Wm. Loring died last night. Mr.

After fonsiL'ninsr tweutv lhrcc hundred to the grave bib own wife among them the grave digger goes at last into the com moil mother earth Auto biographies are multiplying, as everybody knows.

He who has got anything to tell is anxious to catch the world by the button hole and astonish it with his story. The charlatan writes a ponderous quarto about his exploits and modestly illustrates tho volume with a portrait of himself, and mayhap of the shanty beneath the shadow of which he gave early evi dence of his genius by pilfering sweetmeats from his playfellows. The U. S. Review, in noticing this pompous and egotistical mania, puts down Chevalier Barnum as having immortalized himself and his Woolly Horse on the same biogra phical tabtlet, and the gay Chevalier WyckofF has transformed love's stratagems into poetic prose, transmuting corps d' amour and gallant sorties into a biography.

What a world Everyone striving to merit an edition, pay or no pay to the printer every one striving for one lino one immortal line on the momentum cere per ennius striving to leave a fadeless autograph on the imperishable pillar of fame. Poets, novelists, biographers, are literary butterflies in the great whirlwind of life. A modern youth is fed on high notions from his mother's breast. A namo, my child, a name. Ere the "teens" are gone, our youth havo swallowed Blackstone charmed earth, air and sky with strains iEolian.

Ere precocity can stand without the aid of motherly apron strings, she has to incur all the responsibility of foreign travel. Fame, fame Letter writers our beardless youth thinks an L. L. B. lies behind our correspondent," and thus incited proceed to see awful things, visit great countries, talk abominable large adjectives over infinitely small affairs, have the indescribable emotion of standing where somebody else once did, of flirting with au "unfortunate" Parisian miss on the banks of the Seine, of eating within sight of a duchess, and drinking from the same glasses used by Princes and servants.

Eternal Rome is daily ashed in our morning papers the immaculate conception is conceived on foolscap his holiness, the most Christian Pius is daily run through the press; Mount Vesuvius Deicnes lortn in our evening editions London is sent through bv our own correspondent Sebastopol is bombarded under a postcript; Mount Troy is laid on the editor's table, and Mormonism is in the hands of "the devil." Niagara is jeweled in brilliant adjectives, and we hear daily thunder from our Ajax." No one, in this age of dear flour and high rents can afford to be nobody. Be somebody, bio graphically, poetically or historically. A biography of the Mermaid would sell. A poem on baby conclaves, with a chorus of crowing Chitagongs would prove financially remunerative. A history of a kiss, and its probable effect on tlje Simian cerebellum, would have a large run.

Balaam's early and final career, illustrated, would be hastily devoured, and yet a field for all. To be great it must be new, and must be set to double semiquavers and concentrated by the. brazen arms of the organ, ere it unlocks heaven's gates for the blessing. Kid gloves are inspired, patent leather is sanctified, and gilt edges are alone worthy of a sanctimonious thumbing. Wo must be immortal medically, legally, canonically, or in some opular way.

This age of biographies and baby shows will occupy an important page in the history of the universe. The recording angels are already wearied. But glory must have her followers, her courtiers. Poets, the beggar angels in our dreary pilgrimage, wade through seas of sonnets, or doggerel for one smile from the deceptive guardians of fame but alas, poor fellows, find their names only enrolled on the tablet of the broken hearted. The "fast boy," that bleeds profusely from the effects of some pugilistic encounter, is sure to find his face in our shop windows in unblush inglithograph.

The lass that loses her virtue and her reputation, dies immortal within yellow covers. Tho youth that, to avaid family jars, drives after the honeymoon in tho chariot of elopement, finds himself hurried through a hundred pages of monthly. The have been so fortunate as to work themselves into double twisted oddities, find their biographies under the title of eccentric sinners. The Missouri Compromise. Tho opinion expressed some weeks since, that a vote to restore the Missouri Compromise could not be obtained even in the lower House of Congress at the ensuing session, is now repeated by the Washington Star, which says, "it is understood by the well informed public men here, that there will be a majority in the House of Representatives against in any manner interfering with the Nebraska act as it stands on tho statute book." Democratic City Committee.

The published notice for a meeting of the above Committeo for this evening, was furnished 'without proper authority and the notice has been withdrawn. We are authorized to say that there vrill be no meeting this oveuing. Progress of the Reaction. The elections in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio, exhibit the utter route and prostration of the triple headed alliance of the factionists, abolitionists, know nothings and prohibitionists. In Pennsylvania last year, tho fusion majority abolition, know nothing and maino law was 37,007 as shown by the vote of Pollock for Governor; in Indiana, the same united parties polled nearly an equally large majority while in Ohio the Fusion majority was 76,000.

Now Pennsylvania goes for the Democracy by immense majorities the Canal Commissioner is elected, and b'ith biauches of the Legislature are decidedly democratic. Not a single man is elected to the Legislature, who pledged himself to support the present liquor law. The Maine Law question had previously been submitted to the people of tho State and voted down but tho Maino Law faction in the Legislature, with the disregard for the expressed will of the ma jority, characteristic of all its proceedings, passed the law and it wnt into operation on the first instaut. The new Le gislature will take the earliest opportunity to repeal it. The know nothings, the abolitionists and maine law party all leagued together, and have been stricken down at one blow.

The latest despatches from Ohio award the election to Chase by 10,000 majority although this, there is every reason to believe, is an exaggeration. But even this result shows the immense current with which the ebbtide of reaction has commenced to flow. And yet the sake of a participation in such transitory advantages as might arise from the momentary tri umphof fanaticism, the Whig Party abandoned the lofty ground it so long maintained, struck its flag, and made a cowardly surrender at discretion to the factionists. Having taken the Maine Law, the Know Nothings and Abolitionists to its arms, it must now sharo in the odium wMch the acts of those' parties and the result of their measures have awakened. The people have been deceived, and in proportion to the confidence reposed in these political traitors will be! the indignation with which they will avenge themselves.

Less than a year ago, the tide of fanaticism rolled over tho land like a deluge it is now receding with a tide equally incapable of being stemmed, "Koll on, thou doep and and dark blue ocean, roll Owing either to the merits of the Eagle as a good newspaper or to a foolish partiality on the part of the public, our circulation has now reached a figure such as no other evening news paper published in these United States can boast of, and it keeps steadily increasing. Our business was never in so flourishing condition the value of our widely circulated columns as advertising mcdra being fully tested, tho business community with the sagacity characteristic of that class of our fellow citizens avail themselves of the advantages offered and crowd upon us columns daily of advertisements. Our paper is circulated and read among all classes in the community by Democrats and Know Nothingsi Whigs aDd Republicans, Jews and Gentiles, and each class has discovered the fact that no other means can be found for bringing their business wants and necessities before the whole community so effectualy as through our types and presses. We observe that the Supervisors had quite a time yesterday over the merits and circulation of the Brooklyn newspapers, on the question of publishing the report of the committee on the accounts of Superintendents of the Poor. Mr.

Lindsay seems to be the advocate of the Superintendents and apologist of the gross and outrageous frauds of which the county has been the victim. We could wish te see him supporting a better cause. Whether the exposure was made for political effect or not it is for the Board of Supervisors to say all we can assert is this, that if the facts represented in the report be correct it was high time that such wholesale swindling should be exposed and arrested. The circulation of the Eagle was canvassed and put down at various figures. Mr.

Lindsay did not think any paper in Brooklyn had two thousand circulation. The gentleman is at liberty to believe what ho pleases to imagine our circulation to be at zero and to believe the accounts of the Superintendents of the Poor to be perfectly correct only in both caes he will have an equally erroneous creed. We can inform him that throughout the entire eighteen wards of this city we have a regular system of carriers established in addition to which the newsrooms dispose of large numbers, while the newsboys alone sell more than the number mentioned by Mr. Lindsay, every evening at the ferries. We do not expect any uninterested parties to take the trouble of inquiring into our business affairs but if they think newspaper circulation of sufficient importance to elicit a public discussion, they ought to keep within a respectable distance of the facts.

JTlic next day nothing was heard from tho couple, and that evening tho father sent a slave across tho river in the direction they went, to ascertain something about them. The story was then found to bo aslol lows Tho young lady rode nway on a mule, mounted up behind her lover, to a house four miles from tho vil lage, on tho other side of tho river, inCoffoo county. Tho family living thoro arc not considered respecta ble people even by tho publio opinion of this part of tho world.

A son ot the lamuy (a worthless cnarac ter, as might bo expected from such parantago,) had helped tho party in their flight. From that placo they wont to a magistrate's, six miles distant, the bride still ridinr behind on the mule, but the mag istrate was a friend to her parents, and refused to marry them. hoy returned to the house of thoir friends, and again set out for another magistrate, who lived two miles distant in another direction but unfortunate ly for them ho was not at home. They loft a request for him to go to tho house of their friends, and again they returned thero, both mulo and riders, undoubt edly stiincieuty tirod to rost awmio, Having ridden twenty miles in that stylish and comfortablo way. The fugitives at length succeeded in accomplishing what they so much desired.

About 11 o'clock at night the fatal knot was tied, and thon began the dunce but unluckily the newly niado husband was prostrated on tne lloor drunt. Tho word drunk, though less euphonious, is more oxprossivo than any other of the condition of the bridegroom at that time. It did not, however, stop tho others. They danced on, and the bride with them, until morning. The next day and night the bridegroom was again drunk.

On Thursday morning, after tho slaves had left, he had so far recovered from his drunkenness as to think of going homo to Ins father's, and thoy set out, not on the famous mule, this time, but in a buggy, and had proceeded about a mile on their way, when somo person, secreted in a thicket of saplings, crept out stealthily, ran along tho road after them until ho came near and then shot tho bridegroom in tho back. His wife remarked to him that the gun was very near, but she did not know that ho was siiot until ho told her to take tho rains, for ho was dying and thon sho saw that her sleovo was saturated with his blood. He expired almost immediately, without speaking a word. She ran for help to a store about half a mils off, and told the peoplo that her husband was shot, and that sho believed that hor father killed him, for he had told her that if sho went away with him he would shoot him. Sho afterward made an affidavit to tho same effect beforo a magistrate.

Only a week or so beforo the elopement, it is said. tho young lady was about to bo married to anothor suitor, but tho marriage had been stopped by the interference of the girl's father. From tho influence of the families with which ho is connected it is hardly likely that a Grand Jury will bo found to indict him even should ovidence bo adduced of his guilt. Horrible Murder axd Suicide A Noble Doo A Fiexdish Man. We record this morning one of uie mosi ingntiui instances oi numan depravity tnat it has ever been our misfortune to learn of.

The circumstances, which are briefly theso, are shocking beyond parallel A German shoomakor named William EntiERLiNG, living in this city, on Fourteenth near Madison has for a long timo led an unhappy life with his wi to. Their quarrels and dissensions liavo frequently disturbed tho poaco of tho neighborhood. Ho has on more than ono occasion brutally beaten and maltreated hor, and her life was one of drudgery and hardship. On Thursday afternoon last, about three o'clock, he was seated on his bench, working at his trade, when a dispute arose between them, and ho mado a sudden spring upon hor, catching her by the throat, mid inflicting five wounds upon hor with a s(arp pointed shoo knife, which he had in liis hand at the time, any one of which was sufficient to have caused death. Sho is not dead yet, but tho physicians in attendance pronounce her recovery impossible.

Ho then flod from tho house, followed by a large Newfoundland dog belonging to him. and pro ceeded to the river and jumped in, for tho purpose of uruwimig nimsou. xiu was araggeo out, nowovor, by tho dog, beforo had accomplished the purpose. Ho then caught tho dog, and with tho same knifo with which ho had stabbed his wife, and which he had never lot go, deliberately lout its throat, and again jumped into the river, and Buceeedod in accomplishing what tho more noblo brute had prevented him from doing at first. The murderor is a young man, about thirty years of ago.

His body has been recovered, and tho Coroner called to hold an inquost. Missouri Democrat. Ocl. 6. The abolitionists talk of England as the "only country of freedom" and yet there is just as much freedom here now as our forefathers bled and died for just as much freedom now as when the shouts of our exulting nation went up as the last red coat left our shores.

Now we have a party among us who would again welcome them and give them aid to send the democracy "to hospitable graves Can any one doubt that these abolitionists are the toriea and cow boys of me revolution, wno wouia again massacre all who love liberty and hate aristocracy as the villains did who secreted themselves in tho gorges of the Highlands and in tho swamps of Georgia. They are linked with the tories of Greet Britain, and if they succeed in this country it wili only be to placo poor men and negroes on the same platform. When that time comes, the glory of America will nave departed, and may we perish ere such a fate shrouds our country in the universal pall of aristocracy, free negroism, and poor mon's debasement. N.
