From the Norfolk Herald, April %.

We have received Information, the au-
theaticity of which cannot be questioned,
that sthe Provisional Government Of the
Constitutionalists at Isla, (the headquar
ters, \ haze in their Gazette F U FINALLY
acknowledged THE INDIE
PENDENCE OF SOUTH-AMERI.
CA p
1t is true that this act is liable 10 re-
consideration when the national govern
ment shall be established; nevertheless
the fact is sufficient to convince us that a
further prosecution of the war in South
America is not the wish Of the people o.
Spain; and that the government will be
influenced in future by the wishes of the
people there can now be no doubt. We
are even ready to believe that THE Con
stitutionalists are disposed to make terms
with Ferdinand at all, one Of the stipula
lions will be the acknowledgment Of thu
independence Of the S. American colonies
We can also state, positively, that OF
ders have been given at Madrid to dismiss
all the transports SO long employed a
Cadiz. Thus is all idea of the expedition
to South America officially abandoned.

following account Of murder, committed
near BarDsborough, ia this county, On
Tuesday the 18th uIt. The circumstan-
ces which gave rise to this act, are as
near as we can learn as follows:
John Gooby and George Tiller, the de-
ceased, (both coloured men) lived adjoin-
ing each other. TilIer owned hog
which was occasionally 10 the practice Of
trespassing upon Gooby's property, aud
this circumstance frequently led to quar-
rels between them. On the day OF the
rencounter the animal had broken into
Gooby's ground, who upon discovering
The hog, took his gun and repaired to the
house of the deceased, and told him he
would have satisfaction, and he, the de-
ceased must take his gun and defend him
self. TilIer, thinking he was in jest, said,
+" then we had better fight duel,'' he ac
cordingly took down bis gun and went TO
the door, but seeing Gooby's threatning
appearance, said, believe you are in
earnest" the other replied, " to be sure
ann" if you are" returned Tilier, " ]
will put up my gun, for ! would not kill
you for all America Gooby then told
him if be would not fight, be should come
and see what damage his hog had done, to
which the deceased consented. They
then left the house, aud iu the course of
the dispute, the deceased called Gooby a
dd liar, upon which the latter levelled
his gun, (Which was loaded with duck
shot) and killed him Instantly. The load
entered the neck and passed through the
spine.
1t is said that Gooby, the day previous
TO the murder, went to neighbours. house,
and asked for as much shot as would kill
man, expressing at the time, his intention
TO murder TilIer. The person to whom
he made application, refused his request.
He then wished to borrow twenty-five
cents, that he might purchase some shot,
this was also refused. He then went away,
saving, :" believe ! have one charge al
home, sufficient to kill the id negro"
abiding TO Tiller.
A coroner's jury was held over the
body of the deceased, who brought in a
verdict Of wiifuI murder. The wife Of
the deceased, (who was gone from home,
was sent for, and on seeing the dead body
Of her husband, threw herself upon it, aud
a scene of lsmentation ensned, which was
sufficient TO have affected the hardest
heart. But the hardened wretch was
!; and on being asked if he did
not feel sorry he had occasioned SO much
misery, he replied, 81 only wish | bad
one more charge, that might have shot
her Also"
The deceased and Gooby it appears
had frequent quarrels, and the animosity
of the latter seems to have gathered
strength daily. He is a man Of the most
violent temper; and when committed to-
prison, expressed no symptoms of peni.
tence whatever. He has most astonish-
ingly retentive memory; and it is seldom
we see man possessing more intimate
knowledge Of the Scriptures-yet he isl
superstitious in the highest degree.
The deceased has left wife and four
small children Woodbury Herald.

Extract Of a letter to a gentleman an
WASHINGTON, dated

WGSAingt0n, dated
U. s. Ship Franklin, New-York, April 25, 1890
With great pleasure / announce to
you our arrival here on yesterday, after a
passage Of as days from Gibraltar. leaving
the command OF The station under captain
Brown.
On our passage, we touched at Tene-
rife, Porto Praya, in the island of St.
Jago, aud thence ran through all the
wiudward w. India Islands. We spoke
an American ship off the south point OF ST.
Domingo, which gave us the melancholy
intelligence Of Com. Decatur's death. In
getting under way, from Porto Praya a.
bout 8, p. Nj. on the 29th ult. two Bate
ries commenced fire on us, and continued
it until we were out of gunshot. The ves-
sci sustained no damage, except shot
through the fore-top.sail. The Com. i'm
mediately called council of war, and it
was determined to attack the town on the
next morning. We accordingly made all
preparation, but unfortunately fer us, the
wind increased to gale, and the ship
drifted TO ieeward of the Port. On next
morning boat came along side with a
letter from the Consul stating that the Off
GERS and men engaged 10 making the as
sault, had been confined. This was not
thought sufficient satisfaction, and we
continued to beat to windward during the
day, with the hope Of getting up, and OBJ
tanning ample satisfaction for the insult
offered TO our flag but, the wind encreas.
ing, and but little probability of beating
up for several days, induced the Commo-
dore to bear away. 1t appears to have
been an intentional mistake on the part Of
the governor, who had, previously TO our
arrival, ordered the officers to fire into
any American vessel, that should attempt
TO leave the Port without bis permission.
This order, he had neglected to counter
mand, aud it is hardly possible for him to
have forgotten it. The order seems to
have originated from several privateers
having been there under American colors,
which cannot justify his conduct"

Br0nchotomy. -We feel it our duty to
advise the public of surgical operation
performed few days since by DIR. Cogs-
we'll Of this city. The patient, most in
teresting little girl about years old, is the
daughter of Mr.. White of New York,
and grand daughter of Judge Trumbull.
The accident which called for the opera
ton was the Judgment Of Tamarind
stone in the trachea, or wind pipe-It is
called in technical language bronchotomy,
and consists in cutting into the front part
of the neck down to the wind-pipe, which
is then opened for the purpose of extract
ing the offending body. This operation
was borne with astonishing fortitude by
the little patient. So soon as the wind
pipe was cut open the stone was projected
about 2 feet by the force Of the air expired
by the lungs; and thus the patient was
preserved from certain death. Brou-
chotomy, though in idea a most dreadful
operation, owing 10 the part into which the
incision is made, is yet attended with no
hazard to the patient when performed by
a skiful surgeon and considering the
many instances in which children as well
as adults, have lost their lives by acct
dents for which this operation is certain
remedy, we cannot but conclude that it
is not performed SO frequently as it ought
TO be. II may be remarked, that several
Of the most eminent surgeons in Europe
as well as in this country have never per-
formed bronchotomy.

Thunder Storm.--The storm on Sunday

lightning, while sitting by window. A
barn in Southwick, belonging to Mr.. Wal

entirely consumed, together with several

Two, gentlemen, on Sunday afternoon
last, had the curiosity 10 count the number
of negroes, male and female, that passed a
house in Broadway. near Washington Hall.
In about two hours they amounted to 1850.
Several hundred passed in the course OF the
evening.
1t was observed, that these people were
all well dressed, and very many much better
shan the whites. The men almost with
out exception. wore broIdcloth coats.
very mary of them boots, fashionable Cos
sack pantaloons, and white hats, watches
and canes. The latter article was observ-
ed to be Aourished with inimitable grace, to
the annoyance of all the passengers. The
blacks usually walk four or i've breasts arm
and arm, with segars in their mouths, bid
defiance TO all opposition, and almost univer-
sally compel our most respectable citizens,
returning from church with their families, to
lake TIE outside Of the walk, and sometimes
- leave the side walk altogether. Quere-
Ought not some regulation to take place On
this subject. In the month of November one
third of these blacks Will demand assistance
oI the commissioners of the aims house.
