The Western Argus gives the following brief
sketch Of Beauchamp's Confessions relative to
the murder Of Col. Sharp:
Many rumors are aaoat as to .Beauchamp's
confessions. Few Of them, we believe, are en-
titled to confidence. 1t is certain, however,
that he has confessed the crime; that he gave
directions where the knife, with which II was
executed, might be found; and that, on enquiry,
it was ascertained that knife precisely an
swering his description, had been found at
the spot where he said he had concealed 1t -
1t is small old fashioned butcher knife
ground sharp on the back, as well as edge
an inch or TWO from the point. II was in a
lot occupied by Mr. Wade, where Beauchamp
had buried it. He alleged also, that he had
concealed the corner of the handkerchief near
the same spot and could find it. On Sunday
last he was taken out OF Jail, and went with
a number Of persons for that purpose, but
did no, succeed. The ground where the knife,
and, as he stated, the corner Of the handker-
erchief, were concealed, had been spaded up.
He pointed to within six inches Of the spot
where the knife was found as the place where
he concealed it, and said he had ohewed up the
corner Of the handkerchief into wad, dug
hole with the knife, buried it, and then buried
the knife close by ii.
We do not deem il proper to embody in this
paper any Of the thousand rumours we have
beard relative to his further confessions. A
pamphlet, we are told, is in preparation and
will be Immediately published IN which the
public will see his own account of the affair.

Sparkling Of Mr.. Holmes Resolutions, in the
Senate Of the United States, the Portland Pa
triol says, "When it becomes necessary to in
troduce, for the first time in :orty years, reso-
lutions for the purpose Of limiting the licen-
tious range of discussion in & body heretofore
remarkable for dignity and decorum; Of pro-
tecting its own members fiom personal insult
Of each other; Of throwing . shield between
senatorial slanderer and the members OF the
other branch of the Legislature; and Of pro-
tecting the citizen who aSai5 himself of his
privilege 10 witness the proceedings of the Sc
nate, from direct abuse; we say, when it be-
comes necessary to erect those fences, TO pre-
serve social happiness and the courtesies OF
life, from violation, as it appears to have be-
come in the Senate Of the y States, every
thinking man will concur with US in opinion,
that this body has change its character for the
worse; and whether this be owing TO the change
in the Chair, or to the change in its members,
il is equally ischievous to its fame. equally
TO be regretted by all who value the reputation
Of our country"

The New-York Evening Post, commenting
on the misguided course OF the Opposition, OBJ
serves with justice and candor, that "thc only
individual who has derived the least benefit
from this ill-judged opposition is the Presidents
who, must and will be thought inyunerable in
his leading measures, since nothing better can
be objected against them by the united abilities
Of the party proiessedly opposed to him.
When he entered upon his career, perhaps no
one felt less disposed to yield him whatever
support our humble abilities could command,
than the author Of this paragraph, but we are
constrained frankly TO acknowledge, that, with
one or two exceptions, his measures have ever
since grown upon our appreciation, and entitled
him to whatever addition it may be in our pub
lie power to Afford

Ii is truly gratifying to find that the embar-
easements oil the venerable Jefferson have made
a deep impression upon the feelings of the pa
triotic citizens Of his native State. To the
everlasting honor of Norfolk, tina, hospitabie
CITY was the first 10 move in the good work.
Richmond and Petersburg followed with zeal
Characteristic Of their inhabitants; and we now
perceive by the Virginia Herald, that The May

the citizens of that place, Tor the same laudable
purpose. Every County in Virginia will emu
late these praiseworthy examples; aud why not
