THE RUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING,, JUNE 10, 1869. Between one and two o'clock on Wednesday morning the police apprehended four more of the rioters, as they were lying in their beds, and at eleven o'clock they, with the six prisoners who were remanded on Monday, were brought before the magistrates at the County Hall, Mold, which was crowded to excess. The chief constable, Mr. Browne, deposed that prisoners from Mold are usually conveyed by road to Mint Gaol, which is about six miles distant, but he considered it was necessary, under the circumstances, to send the two prisoners whose rescue was attempted by the mob by railway to Chester, thus taking them into another county. John William Linnet, reporter, Chester, stated in his cross examination that he heard firing before the magistrate called out, " Fire." The first shot was fired from the telegraph office, and witness saw a man fall mortally wounded. That man was the deceased William Bellis. Witness considered that life was in great danger in every part of the railway station, and was apprehensive that the police and military would be overpowered. After a deal of evidence had been given the magistrates said they were disposed to treat the case as one of riot and assault. They did not consider they had sufficient evidence against the prisoners Tatham and Benjamin Gibbon, and they would be discharged. With regard to Roberts, he was spoken to only by one person, and the magistrates thought there was a mistake in that, and they would release him upon bail. The magistrates, after hearing Mr. Byton for the defence, who urged that the military had no more right to do any more than private citizens, inasmuch as it had been proved that the military had fired without orders, committed the prisoners for trial at the next Flintshire The selection of Lord Harrowby, an independent peer, to move the rejection of the bill, has this advantage for the Conservative peers, that it leaves individual peers to act upon their own responsibility without an open desertion of their party. On the other hand, such a large number of them are likely to take advantage of this liberty that the fate of Lord llarrowby's amendment is by no means certain. The.defeat of Lord Derby and his friends in the Upper House would be so severe a blew that it is almost certain not to happen. If there is any probability of it, they will probably withdraw from the position, and allow the bill to pass into com mittee. The Daily TeleJraph declares that it has never wavered in its conviction that the Peers would pass the second reading, and that conviction is strengthened by the events of the last few hours. The gravity and manifest anxiety of the Conserve twe party, and the opinions of such weighty men as Lord Devon, prove that the party is by no means united, and, if not, it will not reject the measure. The Morning Advertiser says with reference to Lord Harrowby's notice of motion: " This looks as if the Lords were in earnest with regard to their rejection of the measure ; but it is not the general impression, even in Conservative circles, that they will proceed to the perilous extremity of throwing out the bill. The belief is that the rejection of the bill will be moved, and that a debate will be commenced which will last till Saturday morning; but it is thought that when the Conser vative peers have unbosomed themselves by the expression of their abhorrence of the measure, the amendment will be withdrawn, and the real opposi tion to the bill be reserved till it goes into com mittee." The Daily News, however, declares "there is little room for doubting that Lord Harrowby's motion will be made, and that it will be pressed to a division. The result is by no means clear. There is sure to be a great Conservative secession. Whether it will be large enough to_ convertthe Liberal minority .of last year into a majority, cannot be predicted. The Lords themselves are in the dark." The Morning Post thinks that the Lords would have a perfect right to alter some of the details of the bill in committee, notably the Maynooth clause, which is disliked by several of Mr. Gladstone's followers ; but the Post has little doubt that the principle of the bill will be affirmed, and that the Irishmen who have come over from Ulster will get nothing for their pains except the consciousness that they have done their best to bring about a breach between the House of Lords and the nation. The Herald and the Standard will not admit that Lord Derby has reconsidered his determination of Saturday, but scarcely deny the assertion of the Times, that he has reconsidered it. They complain of the argument of the leading journal that the principle covers the details, and that it is impossible to make any substan tial amendment of the bill, and they say that if this be so there is nothing to be gained by going into committee, and that the Lords have no other alter native than absolute rejection, or unconditional surrender. A correspondent of the Times, who signs himself " L.," points out what he calls the two prevailing fallacies which are just now bruited about. Many Liberals look forward with some satisfaction to the rejection of the Irish Church Bill on the second read ing. because they see that the Lords will forfeit the power of amending it when it comes before them again in August. This, " L." says, is true, but it does not exhaust the question. The passing of the bill over a hostile majority by the calling . up of eldest sons and the creation of other peers will be a coup d'etat perfectly justifiable, he thinks, under the circumstances, but still a coup d'etat ; and before they rejoice at the immunity of the bill from amendment, they must be persuaded that the amendments the Lords could now introduce . with Success if they abstained from negativing the second reading would be so serious that a coup d'etat is a lesser evil. The next mistake which, according to this correspondent, is being made, is one by the Conservatives. They will throvront the bill, they say, because this will shew to the Irish farmers that Mr. Gladstone is not omnipo tent. :But " L." thinks the rejection of the measure will hie a contrary effect. If aEsent to it be refused this month and the bill be passed ill August, the Irish would.be convinced that the Premier was omnipotent. On Tuesday a public meeting was held in Paddington for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords against the disestabEshment of the Irish Church. Lord Claud Hamilton pre sided, and spoke strongly against the measure, but said they must pause before they asked the House of Lords to throw it out, as it had been passed by large majorities in the House of Com mons: It was necessary for the Lords to act independently if they wished to preserve the free Constitution of their country. Ile declared there was not the smallest foundation for the state ment that the Lords had given way, and that an authoritative denial of that statement had been telegraphed to every part of the country. He added that his father, the Duke of Aber corn, meant to enter his solemn protest and vote against the • bill. Mr. Charley, M.P., pro posed a resolution to the effect that the meeting viewed the bill before Parliament with regret and alarm, which was carried after some observations had been made. It was then unanimously agreed upon that a petition should be presented to the House of Lords denouncing the Irish Church Bill, and call ing upon the Peers to arrest all hasty and perilous legislation upon the subject, so that the country might have time to consider the measure.

Various rumours are in circulation of the resignation of Secretaries. One is advanced on good authority, that General Rawlins will re sign the War Department on account of ill health, to be succeeded by Judge Holt. In New York the report was current that Secretary Boutwell intended to retire in favour of A. T. Stewart, and Secretary Fish was said to be at variance with the President with regard to the Alabama and Cuba, and that he would retire; this, however, was known to be untrue, but Secretary Boric might throw up a place for which he never had any particular fancy. Chief Justice Chase has lately ruled at Richmond on a question involving the liability of towns to pay the scrip and notes they issued during the war. As they emanated from a de facto Government, the towns would be liable for their redemption s but as 'they were issued in aid of an unlawful object (the Rebellion), that liability cannot be enforced. Secre tary Boutwell often receives letters on the subject of lost bonds, and the public are informed that the TreasurY does not issue new bonds to replace those lost or destroyed. The only two cases in which the ,Government issued duplicates the bonds alleged to be destroyed turned up, and the Treasury was com pelled to redeem them. Those who have thus suf fered must appeal to Congress, and there are many cases now before the Claims Committees of both Houses, for which, on account of inadequate evi dence, the Committee refuses to report bills.

THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. Mr. Baron Martin had before hilLi at Chambers on Wednesday, the case of "Padwick v. the Duke of Newcastle, Beyfus v. the Duke of Newcastle, and Peters v. the Duke of Newcastle." The cases, on inter pleader applications, came before his lordship in reference to the executions levied at the ancestral seat, Clumber, Nottinghamshire, and also at Carlton-houte terrace. The several parties attended before the learned judge, and the discussion occupied nearly a couple of hours. A list of property at Clumber was produced by Mr. Taylor, on which no claim was set up. It consisted of live stock and other property which had been advertised for sale. Besides the " heirlooms," set out in extensive inventories at Clumber and Carlton-house-terrace, there was other property, which was claimed by Mr. Gladstone and Lord de Tabley under a bill of sale, under which a claim was made on the 19th May. On that day the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire had levied at the suit of Mr. Padwick, and the question was now raised as to the property seized under that bill of sale.—Mr. Baron Martin said he supposed no money was advanced on that day to the Duke of Newcastle by Mr. Gladstone or Lord De Tabley. —Mr. Ouvry, solicitor for the trustees, answered in the negative. It was to protect certain preperty which was claimed by them as trustees.— Mr. Norcott, for Mr. Peters, disputed the claim of Mr. Padwick.—Mr. Tidy said he had an affi davit of the claim to £89,000. Some racehorses had been sold to Mr. Padwick by the Duke of Newcastle, and were seized under the executions.—Mr. Baron Martin, after a long discussion, gave Mr. Norcott an issue on certain con ditions.—Mr. Tidy declined to contest the claim made by Mrs. Hope as to property she claimed at Carlton-house terrace.—Mr. Abrahams said, as second execution creditor, he would contest the right. Mr. Padwick had a security on the life interest of the duke, and with his execution he might have enforced it.—Mr. Charles Bowen produced an affidavit of the claim of Mrs. Hope, but he wished to state that, although the property was all her own, the claim should have been made in the name of the trustees of her late husband.— Mr. Abrahams said he had an affidavit, and the present case must be treated as an ordinary case.—His lordship said he should treat the case as if the Duke of Newcastle was a chimney-sweeper. —The affidavit of Mr. S. B. Abrahams, of Burlington gardens, was read, with advances by Mrs. Hope to the Duke of Newcastle, and on other matters.— The learned judge decided that the claim should be contested, and the solicitors for Mrs. Hope to give an undertaking that the articles should be forthcoming if required.—A question was raised as to the sale of the property taking place at Carlton-house-terrace. Both Mr. Tidy and Mr. Abra hams insisted that it should take place there, as the life interest of the Duke in the house was to be sold.—Mr. Baron Martin said be could make no order on the subject. The sheriff could do as he thought proper. LAW AND POLICE. AN ALIEN CASE.—In the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on Wednesday, a suit of some interest was tried before Vice- Chancellor Stuart, A bill was filed by Mr. Sharp, the trustee of some property, and its object was to determine whether the Baron de St. Lanveur, being a foreigner, who had married au English lady, was entitled under her will to the benefit of a life interest in a bequest of some land at Ealing. An alien being by law incapable of holding land in England, the case turned entirely upon the question whether the property was to be treated as real or as personal estate. As real estate the bequest to the baron was void, and the property, being copyhold, either went the customary heir or escheated to the Crown. As personal estate the Baron was entitled to a life bite. r est. The Vice-Chancellor, after referring to the par ticulars of the deeds affecting the case, said that it was evident the lady's intention was to give the property to her husband, and he felt bound to put such a construction on the will as would give effect to that inten tion. He should, therefore, declare that the property was disposed of as personalty, and that the husband was entitled to a life interest in the proceeds of the sale. A MORTGAGE DIFFICULTT. — In the case " Perrin v. Burbey," before Vice-Chancellor Malins, a bill was filed on behalf of an infant to set aside a mortgage which had been given by the trustees of her late mother's marriage settle ment, on the ground that such mortgage was taken with knowledge of the settlement. The principal question in the case was whether a person having an equitable interest in an estate was entitled to priority over another person who subsequently obtained an equitable mortgage and the title-deeds from the apparent owner of the estate, without any notice of the prior equitable interest. The Vice. Chancellor dismissed the bill with costs, being of opinion that the plaintiff bad failed to prove knowledge of the settlement. His own opinion on the question was against that of the authorities; which had decided that an equi table interest had priority over an equitable mortgage. A TheoesTnemoN APPEAL. -In the Court of Common The hail, News directs attention to the result of the elec. Pleas, on Wednesday, the only remaining registration tion petitions, and says that at the present inotrant no fewer appeal was heard. It was from a decision of the revising than six boroughs in England and Ireland are par- barrister for the northern di vision of Lancashire, against tially, or entirely, deprived of parliamentary representa- laced on the list of tion, and eight seats in th e house of C o mmons, sonic of the claim of James Bayl iffe to be p them for cities of no mean importance, are vacant, andvoters.

It thinks, however, that the tone in which the noble duke himself has seen fit to discuss the subject is a greater evil still. Most heartily does it applaud Lord Salisbury's manly repudiation of the overstrained humility which the Duke of Argyll displayed. It is not proper that at such a time as this the House of Lords should make " an unrestricted profession of subservience to another branch of the Legislature." It is improper for m-re reazons than one ; but, amongst others, because it is not true that the House of Lords is subordinate to the Commons. It may be subordinate to the nation, as Lord Salisbury frankly declared ; but the House of Commons is sometimes a very different thing from the nation, and nothing is mere important, at a time when the'action of the house of Lords is likely to give rise to great excite ment, than a clear comprehension of this difference. The House of Commons is certainly the mouthpiece of the nation, and it may be hoped that as a general rule the voice of the House of Commons is that of the nation ; but at any time the House is liable to fall away from the principles which animate the people, to get out of tune with the country, and when in this condition it would be a misfortune indeed for us all if the House of Lords were unable to act with independence. That House would hardly acquire a representative cha racter by such additions to its ranks as are contemplated by Lord Russell's bill, and constituted as it is of men, almost all of whom have grown used to the responsibilities of power amongst their own tenantry, and to the transac tion of public business upon their estates, besides being permeated through and through with the highest culture of the age, they may, perhaps, dispense with .the neces sity of being representative of anything more than those elements in the nation which they are fortunate enough to represent by the will of Providence—its territorial wealth and its intellectual and moral culture. The Earl of Limerick, like Earl Nelson, repudiates the great. love for Free Churches which has been attributed to him. Tie declares, in a letter to the Herald, that whatever his opinion may be as to the difficulties arising from a connection between the Church of a minority and the State in Ireland, he does not regard as undesirable in all instances the connection between Church and State. The Earl also corrects the statement contained in all the reports, that the meeting refused to hear any speakers but men of mark who challenged the policy of resistance. He says that every peer present, who desired it, had the opportunity of expressing his opinion on the subject before the meeting. SUNDRY ITEMS.

Old System. October 1839, two quarters April 1860, two quarters SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times is puzzled to know where the chief speakers at the Willis's Rooms meeting got their facts, though it allows them some method in their logic. Lord Harrowby declared his strong conviction that the majority of the people of England was not properly represented by the 1 House of Commons, and that the people were taken by surprise at the last election. Peers who entertain. these beliefs are justified in voting against the bill ; but what can induce a man to believe such con elusions, except a foregone resolution to believe them ? Can the men who opposed the principle of the bill last year now come forward and say that they neglected to use their opportunities during the months of summer and autumn, and the people were taken by surprise? Lord Ilarrowby's belief is explicable only by reference to the mysterious power of the will in inducing us to hold con clusions of fact in the teeth of all evidence to the contrary. To the same influence must be attributed the declaration of Lord John Manners, that the mind and heart of the nation are with the Opposition in resisting the Irish Church Bill ; and the statement of the Duke o Abercorn, that if the House of Lords rejected the Irish Church Bill their action would meet with the national approval, as expressing the real and matured wish of the country. It seems to us—we do not wish to say anything unnecessarily offensive—that people who can believe such things can believe anything they have a desire to believe. But the nation cannot he arrested in its course by these delusions. If the holders of them are insufficient in number to obstruct the policy of the country, they may be allowed to grow out of them in peace. If, on the contrary, they are numerous enough to be able to check for a determinate season the operation of the national will, it will be necessary that the power of the nation shall be immediately evoked to override, by the methods indicated by corresponding precedents, the oppo sition of an infatuated minority to the consummation of the national policy, In spite of the warlike gathering at Willis's Rooms, the Telegraph still refuses to believe that the majority of the Conservative partrin the House of Peers can delibe rately persist in so mad a course. It cannot suppose the Tory noblemen of England to be so blind to the interests of their own order—not to speak of the interest of the Irish Church. If the Duke of Rutland and the Duke of Abercorn were as powerful as they are vehement, they would be the Robespierres of the English Peerage. But there is no sufficient reason to believe that the suicidal advice will be followed ; and indeed every day is strengthening the number of those Tory Peers who say, " Pass the bill, and then amend it in committee." Moreover, a second doubt has arisen—the really grave question whether, if the Opposition majority be narrowed to insignificant dimen 'ions, it would not be the sounder policy, even for the "No Surrender " force, to avoid an untoward display of its diminished ranks. Under these circumstances, the Tele graph asks if it is not justified in the expectation which it has always maintained—that Time will fight on the side of Reason, that wisdom will finally prevail, and that the House of Lords, after mature consideration, will allow the bill to go into committee ? The Post, in referring to the catastrophe of the Duke of Newcastle, asks if it is not almost inconceivable that these things should be done, not once, not twice, but again and again and again, and that even bitter personal experience has no deterrent effect, and that no amount of burning, no repetition of it, imparts any dread of the fire to the child of the Betting Ring. It is true that dukes and mar quises and, earls are not the only men who gamble. The Stock Exchange does it every clay and all day, so do many so-called great merchants, so do the boys in the street who play pitch and toss and worry the police on Sun days ; but, barring the last, who are homeless, hopeless vagabonds, it is the business of the Stock Exchange men and the merchants, and although they often do that business recklessly, and even dishonestly, still it is their business by which they live, and there are no particular considerations arising from position and higher duties which make their speculations ordinarily a a scandal. A plunging duke syho puts himself upon a level with Mr. Padwick or a professional racing -man in the Ring must be a scandal some day or other. There is no reason why a noblethan should not race ; there is no reason why he should not support the Turf. He may do both, as many have done— as Lord Derby, Lord Exeter, Lord Glasgow, Lord Palmerston, Lord George Bentinck, the Duke of Portland, General Peel have done—with advantage to the country and with honour to themselves ; but these men never touched the pitch of the Turf and they have never been defiled. had the Duke of New castle been content to take to heart the lesson that the Earl of Lincoln, one would have thought, could have taught him, he might have been in position, character, and usefulness asthosensblemen and gentlemen have been and are.

The T-ibune, in an amusing article on " A Kil , gly Crown," recommends to the T. C. 1. 0. Mr. Andrew Johnson, as Emperor, pointing out what regal qualifications he had, and wherein he resembled Alexander the Great, Julius Cm3ar, George 111., Napoleon 1., and other monarchs. But n case he should die before the time came for making Andrew Rex, the Tribune puts in a word for old friend Train. George and Francis are both well-known royal names. We take it for granted that our George Francis has joined the ,6 T. C. I. 0." already, because we never knew any man to have such a tremendous genius as he has for joining anything which might come along. Lie has powers of assimilation little short of miracu• lons. He is the most cosmopolitan of all living crea tures. His Protean mind, nom• absorbed in the plant ing of horse-railroads, and anon engaged in the estabEshment of an Irish Republic, must be "strong," or it would long ago have succumbed to that inces sant demand upon all its faculties, which, being nobly . responded to, has made . the name George Francis illustrious in every quarter of the globe. Many other Yankees, hearing of the chance, have probably gone into training for the Throne, but they must train pretty stiffly if they expect to rival the great Train himself. Our favourite candidate, however, if we were in the speculation, would be the Hon. Gideon Welles of Connecticut ; partly be cause Gideon is a good military name, and partly. because Mr. Welles would be equally great upon the sea and upon the land, and sure to win our reve rence as a mariner while he seduced our affection as a monarch. " God save Gideon" would sound beautifully, and so we say—God save him ! The IvetvYorkWorld has an article on "Politicians and the Press." Of politicians it asserts that those only can be successful who ally themselves with a party, abide by its fortunes, and indorse its policy, whether or not it commends itself to them. " There was once in England a class of men known as ' trim mers,' who held themselves free to advocate such measures as they might approve of, irrespective of the party in which they might originate. Some such remain, among whom may be mentioned Lord Stanley and Robert Lowe. But with the enlarge ment of the elective franchise party lines are drawn more tightly than once they were." Andrew John- son, William H. Seward, Thurlow Weed, Senators Dixon and Doolittle, John S. Carlile of Virginia, even Charles Francis Adams, are cited as instances of Republicans who fell owing to their independence of party. Of Democrats the names of John Van Buren, James T. Brady, and Reverdy Johnson are given. Turring to the press, the World says : "Journalism alone offers an opportunity for the exercise of an honest independence linked with an intelligent sup port of party. It is a curious fact, while mere politicians have lost caste with their party associates by declining to accord with them in some points, the influence of journals has increased in proportion as they have shown themselves independent of the mere dictates of party. Mr. Greeley was soundly berated by his party confreres for becoming a bondsman of Mr. Jefferson Davis, while the same men at the same time secretly admired as well as diligently read the Tribune. As a politician. Mr. Greeley has been singularly unsuccessful ; but the Tribune, in which an the peculiar wag irks of its editor have found expression, is conceded to be the most inflnential organ in the country of the Republican pirty. On the other hand, the journals which heo : the beck of party with unquestioning doci 15i y ex..rt but: little influence. The independence which ruins the politician makes the journal —provided, of zourso, that the latter display ability, as well as indopond , nce. If there be any men or set of men that indulge in the dream of forming a third party in the hope that it willld the balance of power, and thus he a controlling element in our politics, the sooner they shake off the delusion the - better for their political prospects. And if any man looks for success by running a blind party organ, ho is doomed to disappointment. The solo hope of restraining, in the future, the excess to which political parties may tend, lies iu an independent press. Henceforth it is to be, even . in greater degree than it is t o -d a y, the censor of ,A.inenea.n politics. Each party will have its advocates in journalism, but their influence will be in exact proportion to their in dependence. And is not the converse true, that tho suc cessful journals of the future are to bo those which will maintain an intelligeut independence, though they at times may run counter to some of the views of the party whose fortunes they espouse and whose principles they support ?" The same paper sketches the life and career of Gen. Sickles, who, having left the Democratic party to join the Republican, meets with but little mercy at its hands. His early history is dwelt on at length, though the TV orld is more brief about his brilliant military record, and it. adds a story hitherto unknown showing the reason for the reconciliation between him and his wife after the Key affair. The follow ing heads, in large type, explain one of its articles : —"Massachusetts moribund, the old Puritan stock rapidly dying out, a new race sipplantitig it, the farming lands passing into the hands of the foreigners, a new Erin in America." The New York Sun thus records a dream of the future : " Among the many accomplished women who spoke at the woman suffrage meetings in this city last week were two bright girls from the West, Miss Cozzens of St. Louis and Miss Peckham of Mil waukee, niece of the Hon. Rufus Peckham of Albany, one of the justices of our Supreme Court. They are studying law with the intention of being admitted to the bar; and we understand that the leading lawyers of those cities, with a generosity that does them honour, are extending to them every aid in their power. No doubt when they are admitted they will repair to New York to :engage in their profession ; and it would be a singular fact if, some ten or twelve years hence, when they become well grounded in the practice, they should take part, one on each side, in the trial of the great libel suit of Mr. John Russell Young, with the lion. Susan B. Anthony peering wisely over her gold spectacles as presiding judge—and a better judge, too, we dare say, than some of those now on the bench " According to the telegrams of yesterday the Newyork Times says that if English politicians and news papers discussed the rclationsbetween England and the United States in the temper of Mr. Forster's speech there would be less ill-feeling between the people and fewer difficulties menacing the peace of the two countries. The Times concludes that, although Mr. Forster is not a Cabinet Minister, he is an influential Parliamentary leader, and a member of the dominant party. The ground he takes is probably the same as that which will be taken by the 'Government when Mr. Motley presents the question. -The New York Tribune says that Mr. Laird's letter proves that the current of public opinion in England is strongly against him. But the quarrel is between England and America, and not d with Mr. Laird. With respect to the Alabama Rappahannock, England relied too much on special tio 1 pleading, and never considered t he question in light of great predominating principles of public law. It is announced that the debt of the United States has been reduced $20,C00,090 since the in auguration of General Grant's Presidency.

The feeling in the Southern States, though natu ral, is by no means satisfactory to contemplate. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says :—" A legal gentleman of this city, who has recently been to Georgia on business, and while there was in close professional relations with Toombs, Stephens, Ben Hill, and other Rebel leaders, declares that these men and the great body of the whites are, so far as Georgia is concerned, more bitterly hostile towards the Government and loyal States than ever, if that be possible. The spirit of violence reigns supreme, though now manifesting itself entirely in such acts as the recent assassins' dons, and not in mobs and riots, as was the case last fall. So bitter is this hostile spirit that the gentleman referred to, who was till recently a high legal officer of the Government, believes that, in the event of a foreign war, a large majority o f the Georgia whites would not hesitate to join the enemy, if there should be an attempt to invade the country. He regards the feeling as one of bitter, blind, implacable hatred to the Republic, which would not stop at any means to gratify itself. Most of the pro-rebel leaders believe that in some form they will yet secure the substance, if not the name, of slavery, and with this hope are holding 03 to their lands. Many are purchasing largely. B en , Hill is reported to have recently bought a tract 0I 5,000 acres in South-west Georgia. The above 15 from a careful source, but is given merely as t he statement of the gentleman referred to." The lately appointed coloured postmaster at Andersonville has been compelled through persecution to re lin q msh his commission. Among his persecutors wa s ;aid to be the superintendent of the National Cemetery' where 13,000 Union soldiers lie buried, and so bitter is the prejudice that although the Georgians re framed from shooting him they preferred riding te e miles to procure their letters than to receive the re from the hands of a negro. But there has been shooting in the State. The murder of the 1 1° '' Joseph Adkins, Senator, from Warren Co., can only be ascribed to the bad feeling excited by his desire to promote the welfare of the slave. He had be e° to Washington, in company with the Georgia ( t ele : gation, which attempted to gain protection for th° persecuted Union men of the State. On his return he was persuaded to remain in Augusta, as it Was thought unsafe for him to return home ; but, (le t sirens of rejoining his family, he determined a 1 t 5 , 9 to brave the consequence. At Dearing Station, ' 0 miles from Augusta, he met his buggy and ne,,g!*a, driver, and proceeded towards his house, 12 miles u/ taut ; when, within three miles of his residence, white man came out of the woods and approache cllll . lll o ; Mr. Adkins, recognizing him, stopped and wished hiot "good morning," when the murderer, wishe d, uttering a word, presented his pistol and r.lll, shooting the old man to the heart, killing him stantly. The negro, leaving the buggy in the r°P.i: ran to convey the sad news to his wife and ten chit , dren, eight of whom are daughters. No ot her tr ip a political motive can be assigned for the do,star„lo act. Edwin Belcher, the coloured Assess or for er 111th District of Georgia, wrote to M r.
