A great and most extraordinary excitement has
been raging for some weeks IN Bristol r. t., FaIl
RIVER, Mass and the neishborhood. On the NOR
ming of the 20h of December, girl Ivy the name of
Cornell, was found hanging by the neck TO the
stake of Il stack yard fence. Among the few pa
pers in her trunk was this memorandum of !
am missing, inquire OF Rev. Mr.. Avery, Bristol :;
he will know where | am gone" The first an
nounccment of the catastrophe in the papers of the
neehborhood proclaimed the Rev. Mr.. Avery, a
Methods, preacher, as the murderer and adduced
evidence in confirmation. which appeared satsfac-
tory. Nj. Avery was arrested and IN the midst
of great ferment, examined before two magis-
,rates the examination extending to fourteen DAYS
The magistrates Howe and Halle, gave their O.
pinion in an able manner at the close and dschar-
ged the accused there not being, in their opinion
probable cause TO suspect that he had committed
the murder. The whole proceedings have been
we'll reported by Mr. Drury, very respectable at
torney, and counsel for the accused. We have
performed the sort of official labor, of reading the
pamphlet, and must say we think the Justices could
have had no difficulty in coming 10 the conclusion
they cid. There does not appear to MS the least
reason to believe that any murder was committed.

THE STATE FLAG.

After a seemingly unnecessary de.
lay Of several weeks, the Richmond
Wing, with a sncer or two at those
who have thought proper to make eva
rlous silly commentaries, in relation
to the affair, thus explains Gov. Floyd's
agency IN the procurement of State
Flag, on the twenty second Of Februa-
ry last, and the cause ofits suppression:
eve shall say few words, in order to
explain this important matter of the flag
as we understand it
"Let US suppose there was a design on
the part of the Executive, to float the flag
of this commonwealth on the 22d of Fee
bruary, over the barracks of the State
Guard-tlat the Governor caused flag
bearing the glorious motto OF Virginia, SIC
Semper 1yrD.nis to be painted. with a
view on that day, to spread it to the breeze
to associate it with the Star Spangled
Banner, and to remind that patriot cii
zen, that was the flag which first waved
for American Liberty-what then? where
Is the Virginian who would object to 1t?
where is the fastidious gentleman who
would imagine that the Star Spangled
Banner was dishonored by the company of
the oldest American flag, which had mar.
shaled the country 10 liberty and indie
pendence, before the flag OF the Union had
existence? Who is the traitor knave, that
would, AS Is threatened, dare TO have laid
his sacfilegious hands on the flag which
Heated over the old Capitol at Williams
ourg 10 May, l776, to inilict dishonor w
on ~ Let the writer of this letter come
forward, ayouch tina; he would have done
so, and receive the scorn Of the public.
HAD there been an intention, as this
letter writer Inslnuates, on the part of the
Governor, to displace the flag of the U.
nIted States-to dishonor it-that would
have been different matter, which none
would have condemned or resisted more
warmly than we. But there was no such
ntentIon--the purpose Of Governor FLOYD
was to float the State Banner over the
State Troops, not to haul down that of the
U. States.
"lhere were those of his personal
friends, land we were of that number. n
VINO opposed even this, and entreated
Governor Floyd to waive it, They repre-
sented that the act would be misunder
stood-that it would serve as a handle TO
nose who insisted that the object of South
Carolina and her friends was disunion-
hat designing persons would construe it
nto dlsunion, and that fools (or whom
here are many would believe it-that the
INES were already but too much excited,
md every thing having tendency to in
rease the excitemnt, ought to be avoided
in short, that thing irreproachable

the concerns Of the post Office depan
ment are wretchedly managed--as ey
cry thinking man feared they wonis
he, when party politics were suiiereq
to have influence over the appoint
ment of deputy postmasters, ami IN ne
selection final contractors. We ASK
ed that these might be spared from tn
areforms" proposed, three or four years
ago-that capability and fidelity shoul 7
be cherished, in this interesting an
delicate and important branch o. the
public service. The delay o. Tic mails
is not the only grievance, the safety OF
them has been much impaired, and We
would hope that future reforms in the
depa rtment may be strictly confined to
persons who ignorantly or dishon silly
violate their duties, or are, otherwise,
incapable of performing them as they
ought.
The bulletin Of the 'New York Ga
zette" has been ornamented with an
engraving Of a snail, having its head
and body nearly out Of the shell, and
/ the motto, "not tn." The "New Or
Bans Bulletin" has headed it's frequent
paragraphs on the state of the mails,
with the figure of mud turtle; and the
North Carolina peoples Press" with
the efiigy of cor, and the inscription,
ga mile an hour" The ''Cleveland
Advertiser represents the business OF
fthe post office department by the figure
ofa mad-6uH-hoping that the bull may
''be taken by the horns" The "New
York Journal of Commerce" has had
many evidences of the Uelocity of the
mails, and advertlses whole mails as
'strayed or stolen" The standard
happily notices the arrival ofthe Wash
,ington papers in four days. Such COM
plants arc general. The following,
however, is the best practical comment
that we have seen on this grievance:
