 HORRIBLE MJRDGR.-Mr. Andrew Young, of Montgomery. county, and his wife, were both murdered in d shock ing and brutal manner on Saturday last, by ono of his own negro men, The circumstances so far as we have been able to learn them, are as follows: On tie evening before the murder, the negro was about leaving home-and was told by his master thathc must re- turn early the next (Sunday) morning, to catch the horses for his {Mr. Y's.) daughters to ride to q Methodist Camp meeting, and perhaps to go with them, and take care ofthe horses at the meet ing. lie did not return, however, un- til ten or eleven o'clock, when he went into the garden where Mrs. Young was picking strawberries, and Oh being scolded byher and threatened with chas tisemeHt, he took up an axe, struck her 10 the ground, and continues his blows until he severed her head from her body. lie then went in q direction 10 meet Mir. Young, who had been some distance iron his house, and was return ing, and told him that he had killed his mistress and would kill him, which leii purpose hc too fatally executed by beating him with an axe; (the same used upon his nistress) until his brains were knocked out and lis body most horribly mangled. There was no other white person about the place at the time of the murder. The negro had been raised about the house of Mir. Young, and was much indulged. He says himself, (so stated our informant, J that his master had not struck him for upwards olive years. He is now safe y lodged in the iail of Montgomery county. The annals of crime do not furnish q more cold Hooded and eleiiber- ate case of murder, save, perhaps, the one in Clarke county, on the body of Capt. James Pace, in August iast.- The perpetrators of that horrid deed had not even the courage and the plea the negro appears to have had.
 From the following paragraph If ap- pears, that one ofthe comets, that is looked for this year, is now 10 be seen by telescope:--
 A New York paper states that there is another comet now visible, which will arrive at this parihclion, or nearest distance to the sun, in the month of May, 1852, and will be nearest to the earth in June; and this comet has been 1oonfounded with the comet mentioned 1 by the German Astronomers; but this "a small comet, scarcely visible& and at ifs nearest approachis then near the orbit of Mars. This comet may now be seen by a telescope, due south. soof after the sun sets, and about as hiph x the meridian sun III summer. Iisperi cd is three years, three months and 2f days, the shortest period of any comet yet known Ii waslast at its parhcli-

Baak of he United States.--A most
 important debate has been going on for some days in the Senate, ilf which the constitutionality of the bank charter is brought up in new way, upon tho question of the taxing power of the: States. Has, or has not, the Congress q right to grant the exercise of the banking trade to foreigners and non-rc- sldents within the limits of the Statesv without their consentt, and m;the..t the s F.. ll::::. billy to taxation? This is the great question nov agitated in the Senate~ and in which the friends and adversa- ries of the Bank have taken ground on opposite sides. The decisions of the Supreme Court heretofore made, ares impugned by some, and defended by others. The points made by different. speakers will be seen but iinperfectlv in tbe mcagre reports published. Ful- Ter reports are duo 10 the public, and will be presented if possible. In tke mean time, 1t is proper to call the M- tention of our readers to the point, and 10 advise them that the most interesting question, to the rights of the States. ever yet agitatcd in Congress, is now ils .progress.--Globc Junc 2d.

On Thursday night the 29th ultimo, Mr..
THOMAS MOORE, formerly of Angus
ia county, but for several years respectable
and useful citizen OF this place. In the death
of Mr.. MOORE, an irreparable loss is sus
tanned by wife and three small children
He was man in whom all the virtues which
should characterize human nature alike shone
conspicuous. For few months past he was
member of the Methodist Episcopal church,
and his walk and conversation testified he
was born of God-his death has doubtless
been his immortal gain-and let this be the
consolation Of his bereaved relations and dis
tressed friends, who by the dispensation
should be brought to choose that better part
which shall never Is taken from them.
