pUNCAN's Confession.

|
The followingis the substance ola con-
fession made by John Duncan who was
executed at St. Michael's, Madison coun-
ty. Missouri Territory, on the 5th ult. for
the murder of J. Stephens, wife, and two
sons.
1t appears that he was born in Alber-
marie county, Virginia, January l4th,
1900, and was raised in Summer county,
Tennessee, from whence he went to Madi-
SON county in September last. On his ar
rival he learned that one Stephens had
been suspected of stealing money, but as
there was no proof could not be convict
ed. With view to extort confession,
several plans were devised by persons of
the neighborhood, such as fogging, &c.
all of which did not meet the views of
Duncan, who said that better way would
be to build fire and roast his feet until
he confessed, or dig grave and threaten
to bury him alive. Upon further rehec-
ton, however, Duncan thought ola more
eflectual method to correct the evil which
was to put Stephens out of the way as
he expressed himself This plan seemed
to meet the views of the others concern
ed, but they did not wish to get into diff
culties, and intimated to Duncan that
whoever would render such a service to
the neighborhood would be well rewarded
by handsome purse which would be made
up by the regulators! This was sufficient
for him, and he proceeded to Stephens
house. Here we leave to detail one of the
most hellish deeds, probably to be found
on record.
"When l arrived at Stephens, and went
into the house, determined not to kill
him. After having sat a while, Stephens
enquired if had come to look at his land?
| answered yes. He then took hold of my
gun, and observed that he would set her
in the room until we shall have returned.
| told him no, perhaps we might see some
thing to shoot. We then started to view
his land, in the direction of MIR. Fulton
Soon after we started, in company with
his little son, the dogs freed rabbit
Stephens cut hole to twist out the rabbit:
| concluded to kill him, stepped back for
that purpose, about ten feet, and cooked

By Sully, it is said, that, by sone fatality
it comes to pass. that those improvements
which an age makes 10 knowledge above
preceding times. are not applied TO the au'
vsncement Of virtue, nor serve any DINER
purpose than to refine wickedness. Ills
true that in popular assemblies, there may
be found small Eumber OF men OF great a.
bilities, and great virtues, men whose quail
ties no body disputes but instead OF being
forced into public notice, they are treateo'
with an air Of affected negligence and con-
tempt. which sink them into silence, and
with them suppress the voice OF the pubic
good. no.
A dislike of fatigue proceeds generally
from the same inc!inations, which leads to
vnluptuousness, or creates effemnacJ. A
statesman ought, in temperance, to seek for
a remedy against a fondness for splendo',
and the deIicacies Of the table. which serve
only to enervate the body and mind AsIr-
tuous man ought to be wholly unaequaInted
with drunkenness; dlligentman ought to be
no less ignorant OF what is called high living.
As he ought to make his retirement in his
cabinet at all times, and at all hours not
merely supportabe. but pleasing, he cannot
be too careful to prevent bis mind from run
ming on the delights Of balls, masquerades,
and other parties of pleasure; in all these
trihing amusements, there is nameiess en-
chantment, that intoxicates the hearts OF
philosophers and misantbropes themselves.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.
The large and valuable Merchant Mill
under the Bull Run Mountains, owned BY
Edward Carter, and rented by Messrs.
Hampton and Roach, was OH the night OF
the 22d inst burnt to the ground.
The flames had SO far enveloped the
house, before they were discovered, as to
prevent the recovery of the mill books, or
any part of the wheat, upwards Of COCO
bushels of which was destroyed.
One Of the two men, keepers OF the mill,
was burnt alive; his body was seen to fall
from the second story in the midst OF the
flames. The other miracu!ousIy escaped
through an aperture IN the wall left for The
shaft of the water wheel; but so badly burnt
as to leave out little hope of his livi"g.

SINGULAR AND INTERESTING OCCURRENCE.
A Judge Of the name Of Hetmanotz, in
the department of lips, sent young fe-
male peasant with a sum OF money TO Goel-
ditz, small town situated among the noun
tains not far from the village countryman
Joined her, and demanded where she was
going; the girl replied, that she was jour
neying with sum Of 200 forms to Goeldiiz.
The countryman ,old her that he was going
there also, and proposed that they should
travel together. At the wood the country
man pursued path which he told the girl
would shorten their journey at least two
leagues. AT Length they arrived at the
mouth of an excavation, which bad once
been worked as mine, the countryman
stopped short, and ia loud voice said to
to the girl. Behold your grave deliver
me the money instantly The girl trem-
bling with fear complied and then entreated
him 10 spare her life; the villain was iulexi-
BILE, and he commanded his victim TO un-
dress herself, the unfortunate girl was soon
stripped to her chenise; the monster com
mended her to deliver to him even this last
article of her dress. The poor girl Tell on
her knees and duplicated with upliited
hands, to have her chemise returned to pre-
serve her uodesly, the villain then turning
round. the girl sprung upon him precipitat-
ed him into the cavity, and then ran and
announced to the village what had happen
ed TO her. Several OF the inhabitants, pro-
vided with ladders, returned wit, her TO
the spot. They decended into the hole, and
found the countryman dead, with the clothes
and money which he had taken from the girl
in his possession. Near him lay three dead
female bodies in state of putrefaCtion. II
IS probable that these were vic inns TO the
rapacity OF the same villain. In girdIe
which he had round his body was discover
ed sum of 600 forms in gold.
