Ita Value aa an Advertllng Medium thexafbxa apparent We have received through a gentleman of this oity the following account one of the most horrible butcheries we have heard of since' the davs of Adam and Horn. The information is from one "whose responsibility cannolrber. ques tioned The account comes letter, and it is said to ha occurred on the l7th nit.

It appears that a man named Adams.was married a short time since to a MiB3 had previously been engaged to another man by the name of Harley, Harley, on the morning of the wedding day, had threatened jniss Jenkins with revenge if she persisted in marrying his rival but she laughed to scorn big threats, and was as appointed, bound inwedlock to Adams. On the 16th September, Harley Adams' house while the latter was absent with his wife, and finding it only occupied by an old negro woman, knocked her down with ah axe, fracturing her skull, and then proceeded to demolish all the furniture and disfigure the premises, knocking down partitions and breaking the plaster off the walls. Adams and his: wife'' returned late at night, and their feelings on perceiving the work that had been wrought may better be imagined than described. Medical assistance was obtained for the old woman, and her few broken wandering words; ending, as it is said, almost in a shriek of tbe name of Harley, indicated to Adams the probable perpetrator of the outrage. Accordingly the next armed him self with a rifle and knife, and went in.

search of Harley. He had not lar to go, tor about 1UO yards from the house, on the road which passed through a strip of woods, he met Harley, apparently proceeding to complete his destruction. A farmer's boy, who happened to be a short distance behind, was the sole witness of the dreadful scene that ensued, and which froze his blood with terror. A short but violent conversation ensued between the two, when Adams discharged his rifle, only wounding Harley in the arm. Harley, a large, athletic man, then closed with him, and a desperate conflict followed.

Adams at last received a fatal blow frem his antago nist's knife, and Harley, though cut almost to pieces, raised the dead body, if possible, more bloody than his own. with the knue still stick ing upright in his breast, and carried it into the presence ol Mrs. Adams. The boy followed mechanically, to see the denouement, too frightened to summon assistance, too weak to. give it himself.

Mrs. Adams received the murderer with a dreadful shriek, and fell fainting upon the corpse. Harley, weak and exhausted, had still strength enough to draw the bloody knife, and cutting her features until pot a lineament was recognizable, plunged it into his own heart and fe)l back, bis hand still grasping the long hair of this victim. The affrightened witness at last sufficiently recovered himself to run for aid when it came, both men were dead, and Mrs. Adams insensible having almost bled to death.

A great excite ment prevailed. She was carefully removed and attended, but oinnot recover. Adams had been decently interred but when I left proposals had been made for nailing Harley's body to a tree. Adamg was universally respected, being editor of the Ware County Sentinel, the only paper in that sajtion. It is now collapsed.

Political. The Boston Ledger, an independent paper in politics, has come out in support of Mr. Beach, the Demociatio candidate for Governor, A convention, said to be composed of delegates from workingmen societies, assembled last night at No. 178 Boweiy, N. and adopted a series of resolutions strongly opposing state pri son convict labor, and endorsing the entire Dem ocratic state ticket, with the exception of Hiram Denio', in whose place Hiram Ketchum was nominated.

Lt. Gov. Church's Pat and Mileaqb. The Republican papers are endeavoring to make a point out of Lieut. Gov.

Church's pay and mileage, while he was in ofllce. They show that for two years' service, he received $5,171, his whole compensation, amounting to $2,585 per anuum. being just about the same rate as the compensation of other state officers. The Atlas Argus compares this with the pay and mileage received by certain prominent Republicans a comparison wnictt may justly ne styiea "oaorous. jf or instance "Mr.

Church's compensation average $7 per day. "Mr. Greeley's as a M. C. by his own account, $10 per day.

"Mr. Greeley's by the true 'account, $18 per day. "Col. Fremont $250 per day." Lieut. Gov.

Church's enemies had better try again. The News. By the arrival of the Anglo Saxon below Qaebec yesterday, we received four davs'. later intelligence from Europe. Further Indian advices bad reached London, from which it appears that Gen.

Havelook's retreat to Cawnpofe was only temporary. He resumedjbis march for Lucknow with all possible dispatch, and we shall probably hear by next mail of the relief of that garrison and tne dispersion ot the mutineers in this quarter. Gen. Reid had died before Delhi. This makes the fourth general officer lost to the British army since the mutiny broke out.

There is no news er special interest reported from Europe. It is formally denied that France is seeking a closer alliance with Rsusia. By the arrival last evening of the steamship Cahawba, we receive later news from Havana. The vellow fever is said to be very sensibly de clining. In regard to the recent landing of slaves at tne port ot Havana, tne Uaptam Gen.

has acted with unusual promptness. He has caused the arrest of some twenty or thirty persons suspected of being engaged in this flagrant violation of law. The slaver captured to the eastward of Cardenas proves to have been the American ship Mazeppa. It is said that she had 1500 slaves on board. By way of Havana, we have received advices from ban Domingo to the 6th of Sept.

At that time the capital, where President Bat resides, had been besieged for a fortnight by the insurgents. The prospects are by no means favorable for President Baez, and even the Boletin Oficial all but admits the fact. We publish the following communication to or rect what seems to have been an error in a namo in our legal reports Fmtor: In your paper of tbe 30th of September last, you state that Alsred Tbeall was placed on trial in the Court of Sessions, for passing counterfeit money and you Btated in a previous issue of the Eagle that Alfred Ihetll had been arrested for passing counterfeit money. As no person of the name of Alfred Theall has been arrested, or tried for the crime mentioned and as Alfred Theall is a respectable man and a' resident of Brooklyn, who does not desire to have his name inserted in the newspapers in connection with a criminal charge, I must ask that you will correct the error in as public a manner as it has been made, and have no further trouble about it. Tours truly, Oct.

One of the Saratoga editors, the other dav. was 'accosted in the street by a youug lady, rawhide in hand, who expressed an anxiety to' lick him for two cents, for some real or fancied indignity that she claimed he had put upon her.

UOOtn, The primary election evstem has culminated. It required but the rejection of Mr. Booth by the County Convention yesterday to add the last ounce that breaks the camel's back and the last drop that makes the oup of patience and overflow. Submission to the dictates iO Buch materials as controlled the County Conven tion is no longer possible and when a conven tion recklessly outrages the known universal sentiment of the party in whose name it presumes to act, thatarty has only one course to pursue rnnBiBlahtlv with its own self respect. That course is to wash its hands of suoh action.

The system has been merely tolerated for years part for lack of a better method of placing candidates before the people. A political party must have some means of uniting on one set of candidates, or it would waste its strength in fruitless efforts if each ospiring member was at liberty to place himself in the field. The primaries were intended to give every voter of the nartv a chance to express his preferences, and place in nomination whoever has the largest number of supporters. Instead of fulfilling this purpose, the primaries are now a mere machine by which a handful of the scum and dregs of society extort black mail and sell nominations to the highest bidder. The time has come when it must once for all be decided whether the Democratic party of Kings County will sacrifice itself for the benefit of the managers of this political shambles and allow its good name to be prostituted and its deirest interests converted into merchandise, or will trample the whole system in the dust.

Like Heicnles in his cradle, the Democracy must choke the reptiles or be strangled by them. It would be adding insult to injury were we to disguise from the readers of this paper the feelings of disappointment and disgust with which the action of the County Convention yes terday was received by every decent and honorable Democrat in this County. Outside of the Convention a very large number of the moBt respectable and influential Democrats in the County had assembled, and when a zeal ous Powell man came out on the piazza and an nounced the nomination and called for a cheer, the intelligence was received with the awful and sepulchral silence of the grave. It fell like a wet blanket on all present. Had a his3 been called for it would have been given long, loud and unanimous.

Ninety nine of every hundred De mocrats in Kings County wished to see Mr, Booth nominated. There were men of character and intelligence in the Convention, but they proved to be in the minority. 'Ihey voted for Mr. Booth yesterday from first to last. Personally Mr.

Powell may be a very excellent man, and under other circumstances a very unobjectionable candidate but he has been used in this Convention to upset one of the fun damental principles for which Democrats have ever contended. Economy and reform ore the leading principles of the Democratic party, and those upon which the State is to be contested this fall. Mr. Booth was the representative of both, and in Wb person this Convention has stricken them down. "We deem it due to our own position and the reputation of the Democracy of the County to speak thus plainly on a matter of surpassing importance.

"We leave the party to settle the question as it shall deem fit and proper, having placed upon record our sentiments on the subject. Democratic County Convention. The adjourned meeting of the Democratic County Convention was held at Holder's Three Mile House yesterday afternoon. James Sharkey presided, and Thomas Yan Brunt and John A. Burtis officiated as Secretaries.

The first for mal ballot for Superintendent of the Poor result ed as follows B. H. Booth 44 Patrick O'Noil 1 John Oavanagh 1 Wni. H. Powell 40 John J.

White Simmons 4 Total 94 On the fourth and last ballot Powell received a majority of the votes, and was declared nominated. The vote stood Booth 45 Powell 62 A number of ballottings were tiken for the 2d candidate for Superintendent of the Poor, which resulted in the nomination of John White, at present a member of the Board of Su pervisors from the Fifth Ward. The last vote stood as follows White 64 I Cavanah 41 John A. Emmons, Esq. received the nomina tion for Justice of the Sessions by acclamation.

This concludes tho County ticket. Unjust. The New Tork Times asserts that Mayor Powell chimes in with Mayor Wood on all questions before the Police Commission, of which they are both members, and as being merely his echo. If Mayor Powell votes with his colleague it is because the latter is right, and not from the reason assigned by the Timet. Tho Police Bill placed Mayor Powell in a very diffi.

cult position, and he has managed to acquit himself to the entire satisfaction of all parties. He never was an extreme partisan, and his admin istration bo far has been eminently popular and successful. The Rochester Poisoning Case. John B. Bob.

Eochester has been indicted by the Grand ury, for attemp ting to destroy the life of his wife by poison Riumor says that of twenty three jurors, only two were opposed to a bill. Robertson gave bail this morning. The American Chess Congress will meet in New Tork to dav, and continue in session until the 15th or until business is finished. This Congress is a new idea, originating with the New Tork Chess Olub, which appointed a committee to correspond with chess associations and eminent players throughout the country, and get their views on the subject.

The answers were very encouraging, and probably not less tnan two hundred chess players, from various parts of the Union, be present at the Congress. The most attractive features of the ses sion will be two grand tournaments for first and second class players, in each of which four prizes will be contested for. Apart of the session will be taken up with dedate on the reports of committees appointep in advance by the Committee of Managemrnt, relative to a Chess code and an American Chess Association. Prizes will also be awarbed for best chess problems The hard times do not yet affect much the places of amusement. Fifteen places of public amusement in New Tork, open on Saturday night, had receipts estimated at $10,000, and this is said to bra fair average of the nightly expenditures.

Ihe Lbmoh SlaveCase. The Lemon slave oasa was resumed in the Supreme Court yesterday morning, when Mr. Blunt submitted his statement and points of argument in behalf of the plaintiffs, namely 1. Slavery is contrary to natural right, and is not regarded with favor in any system of jurisprudence.

2. The law of slavery iB local, and does not operate beyond the State where it is established. 3. The provision of the federal constitution relating to fugitive slaves recognises this principle of universal jurisprudence, and imposes on the free States an obligation which is lim ted to fugitive slave. 4.

The persons here claimed as slaves are free by the express enactment of the Legislature of New York. 5. They cannot be held by virtue of any implied covenants between the States or by any rule of comity. 7. They cannot be restrained of heir liberty, whatever may have been their stata in Virginia.

Police Pat. Oa Saturday Judge Peabody granted a mandamus commanding James Bo wen, Treasurer of the Poli Fund, to pay to David Bartly, a patrolman of the Fourth District, his salary since the 22d of June last, or to show cause to the contrary on the 6 th inst. This proceeding is to test the legality of the discharge of the old Police. If thisapplication is succesful, some four hundred more policemen will bring their cases into court. The affidavit of the ra lator sets forth that he was appointed a patrolman prior to the 13th of Sept 1858; that he has not been discharged from his office, nor any charges have been preferred against him; that he discharged his duties as policemen untill the 3d of July last when the Station Houses wereclosed that on the 17th he reported himself for duty, but has not been paid since the 23d of July last.

Judge Dean is retained counsel for all these men. The case has not yet come on for argument. Police. SHomimto. Mary Warren was arrested yesterday ou the charge of stealing seven handkerchiefs' from the store door of No.

Aid. Lowber moved to rescind the resolution passed May 4th, adverse to the application of the consolidated Gas Light Company, for a contract to supply the city with gas. Aid. Lowber said he erely wished to refer this matter back to the committee. It was time to make anew contract wnetner with mis company or another.

Aid. Del Vecchio opposed the motion the Consolidated Gas Company had ceased to exist, and this motion would attract adventurers, and enable them to make money out of the old Aid. 8chols was In favor of reopening this question, but did not approve of this motion to rescind the previous resolution. Aid. Pierson said the people had a right to avail themselves of competition to got gas at as low a price as possible.

Now was tho time to move In this matter, and have it fairly understood. The present Company he as an oppressive monopoly that bad no parallel within his knowledge. He denounced in justly sovero terms the extortionate domands of advances and deposits exacted from consumers of gas. If thoy waited until tho contract expirea, wnere wouia mey do. rno Gas company could turn off tho gas from the streets and their houses without a moment's notice now was the timo to move In this matter if they wish to rid the city of an incubus that had no equal.

Aid.

The Gas Company andthe Common Council Taking the Ball by (he Horns. The Common Council decided last night to rescind the resolution previously passed, declin ing to enter into a contract with a new Gas Company, and to authorise the Clerk to advertise for proposals.

The present Company had imagined itself beyond the reach of all authority and pub lie opinion, and conducted its extortions with such a rough shod disregard of the feelings as well as the rights of its victims, that the action of the Common Council will awaken a general felingiOf relief in the minds of our citizens. A good beginning has been made, and we trust the same spirit will be kept up to the end of the chapter. There are two things which the Common Council will do well to observe the first is to turn a closed eye and a deaf ear to all hypocritical promises which the present company may make and the crocodile tears of repentance it may shed and the other is to see that whatever new corporation they may aid to establish is sound, bona fide, and guarded by such restrictions as will protect the public. The present company has forfeited all right to considerate treatment, and has exhibited a spirit of domineering rapacity, which renders it the duty of the city government to extinguish its contract at the first favorable Past experience will also compel the city to so guard the new contract as to take it out of the poiver of any Company to oppress the community. Tile present Company will not relinquish its hold without a struggle.

Money is power, and the monopoly possesses it in abundance. But we have full confidence in the ability of the city government when acting under the pressure of a unanimous public opinion, to relieve ub of this great incubus. It is perfectly right that our monied men should have ample security for their capital which they invest in our midst, and a proper return but thej have no right to oppress the community and amass colossal fortunes out of the necessaries of life. Commoh Council. The Board mustered a quorum last evening, and transacted a fair amount of business.

A petition signed by John D. Cocks and a number of prominent citizsns, asking to have the proceedings in relation to widening Atlantic avenue, in accordance with the act of the Legislature and the agreement with the Long Island Railroad to determine the validity of these proceedings, the contract for grading, After some discussion the communication was referred to the Counsellor for his opinion. The Gas question was re opened last night by a motion of Aid. Lowber to rescind the resolution passed in Hay last, refusing to enter into contract with the Consolidated Gas Light Co. The motion elicited some remarks from Aid.

Pierson, who justly described the present Gas Company as an extortionate monopoly. The contract of the Company expires in two years, and therefore it is time to move in the matter unless they wished to have this incubus fastened upon our citizens for an indefinite period. Only one member, Aid. Del Vecchio, opposed the motion, which was carried. The subject was referred back to the Gas Committee, and the Clerk directed to advertise under direction of said committee, for proposals to supply the city with gas for the next ten years.

Dekocbatic Judiciary Convention. The Democratic Judiciary Nominating Convention of the 2d district met at 12 o'clock to day in the Gov ernor's Boom, City Hall. TheJConvention was organised by electing John B. Haskin of Westchester, President, and A. Edmund Suffern of Rockland and John J.

The list of delegates was then called. All the districts were represented except Suffolk County. Prom the 7th District of Kings County there was a disputed delegation, N. P.

O'Brien contesting the seat with Chss. N. Dougherty. Mr. Beach moved that the dispute in this district be referred" ta a committee of three to en.

quire into and report. The motion was carried and, and the chairman appointed as such committee Mr. Beach, Mr. Coles of "Westchester, and Samuel Garrison of Kings. Judge Hammond stated that the delegates from Suffolk County were to be chosen last night, and perhaps they had not had time as yet to reach the city.
