THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

We understand that at the Chesterfield Elec-

William r. Johnson and Samuel Taylor, Esqrs.,
united IN expressing decided preference for
BENJAMIN Watkins Leigh, Esq. as the next Pre-

not; bu, by this early movement, the People
would appear determined to take the matter in
their own hands and to act for themselves. Let
our Fellow Citizens once cast OF their leading

A WORD FOR THE UNION.

In Saturdays paper we referred to the d,o,
ganiziog sentiments which were avowcd and pro.
muisated by the newspapers IN favor Of what !.
called notification, and BY the leaders Of the pat,
ty who esposse that doctrine. The qro,atigr.
we then made, exhibiting the tone aud mannern
which they speak Of the government Of the eosl
try, were taken casually from print which hap
pened to be before Us containing the addra..e,
OF Cows. Hayne aud Hamilton, aud selected az
tlcles from the Telegraph and Jeifrrsoaian--lo.e
p,opayaldisis of schsm ard error. We con-.
dered the exposure as useful, both to .ho~ the
real state of feeling which Is sought to be excited,
and, particularly, the pains taken 10 excite hi,
feeling. There is no manner of doubt but tn,
great and active exertions are put forth to ci
TRANCE the minds of the people from The con,tl
tuted government. These efforts mus, be met
with corresponding labor in behalf Of the usOs'
or we shall soon see the seeds OF dlsrust and
discomfort ripening into plentiful harvest
This is cause entirely different from mere per-
sunal party warfares-contests for power and
pIace--struggles for office and emolument-
for ambition and distinction. II is a cause hiv
ing for its object the preservation OF the mo'ss"
rious fabric of government that was ever erected
the maintenance Of constitutional liberty and
the continuance Of republican institutions. '"

ATROCIOus MURDER.

Our city has Oeen thrown into an unusual and
painful excitement, in consequence OF the perpe-
iraion Of deed of revolving and extraordinary
depra,ltg. Early yesterday morning, on going
iato the back room of the upper story uf the old
framed house on the east SIDE of the public
square. and next door to Samuel Seay, the servant
found Michael Hoover, who occupied the room,
dangerously wounded by violent blow on the
side of the head, inflicted by some unknuwp
hand. On the bed, weltcring in blood and in
the asouies Of death, lay William Pryor, young
man from ClarksvHle, his scul literally beaten
to pieces. Physicians were promptly called In,
but Pryor was beyond the reach Of human aid.
He fingered in great agony until last night, when
death came to his relief He was never able to
! speak after his situation was discovered. Hoo.
yer. though able to speak, could not compre.
bend, or give Ineligible answers TO any of the
questions propuunted to him His situation is
considered extremely CRITICAL and strong doubts
are entertained Of his recovery.
The facts connected with the perpetraton Of
this nefarious deed are shrouded in my stery. and
the hand that dealt the blows unknown. Hoo.
yer and Pryor occupied the same bed, and the
probab Ii,y is. that The room was entered and the
wounds inflicted while they we're asleep, as little
or no blood was discoverable any where in the
room save on the bed. As yet no facts have been
developed tending to throw any light on the
commission of the outrage. Al investigation is
in progress, which we ardently trust may result
in the detection of the assassin. Hoover, should
he sufficiently recover will probably be able to
ASSIST III clearing up the mystery. At present,
he is not in situation to afford any clue where
BY to unravel the mystery. Three hundred dol
lars were found in his pocket. 1t is probable,
therefore. that money was not the object had in
view by the murderer or murderers. Some pri.
vate grudae, it is likely, has led to the commits
sion of the crime.
Pryor was young man about 10 years OF age.
and was on the eve Of entering the Navy of the
United States, having some time since obtained
a midshipman's warrant Nashville Republican.

Bear turned Bdrheeper-"e COPIED the otner
day fr0m the New York Commercial, an account
Of 4" Panther turned Shopkeeper.' similar,
but somewhat more ludlcrous occurrence, hap.
pened in Howard street, during the week past.
Mr.. 6 Gallagher. Of the Howard street House, had
picked up somewhere, (he is always on the look.
out for rarllies,) a young bear. Bru'n was tied
to stake in the yard, and ful nished much
amusement to Gallagher's nervous patients. until
one day when he broke his bonds, and finding
the door open, took the street. Here he prowl.
ed about for better quarters. Bending his steps
to Court street, he had curiosity to examine a
refreshment room which he entered without ce-
remony. The proprietor was not aware OF the
presence of a wholesale customer, until the bear
placed himself Immediately before him. and as
sumed az attitude and an expression which
seemed to say, Who are you looking at!"-
The bar keper answered with scream, and ma.
king leap. plunged into narrow closet and
closed the door, venturing only to take an &C.
casiona peep. in hopes to see DO more OF the hear
or to find some more selcome vl.iter, who might
relieve him from his terrible situation. No one
came to his relief il being too early for his regular
customers. and his fright was tremendous. At
length, after visit oil nearly half all hour, dur
ing which time he was occupied in rigid exam-
nation of the premises, and doing the temper
ance cause some good by upsetting aud brea.
king sundry aud divers decanters and bot.
ties, the bear took his leave. and the bar-keeper
was restored to his post. half dead with fright.
and wondering how he could have lived so long
cooped up in closet scarcely half as large as
bathing. tub. Whether he has brought an action
of damages against the bear. we cannot learn
from the records Of the COURT Boston Transcript.
We learn that Count SurviIiers Joseph b.
naparte1 is to sail from London lst Of May. on
his return to the United States. one OF his chic
motives for the VOYAGE to Europe is said to have
been. to visit his mother, in Italy, who is quite
AIRED, and his wife, who is sick. But passports
were denied him, and he is compelled to return,
without enjoying this indulgence. Such disdnc-
tions belong to great men. An humble Indivi-
du,l ma, visit his mother or his wife without re-
straint. a qualification which many good man
! would not barter for all the trinkets Of dlstnc

UNHAPPY EVENT.

1t is with painful feelings we record
the death of Mr.. WILLIAM MCPHERSON,
formerly of this place, and son of Mr..
Robert M'Pherson, deceased. He has
been a resident of indianapolis, Indi-
ana, for the last three years, and met
ais death by drowning, in White Riv.
er, opposite that place, on Wednesday
the 9Th inst, under the most painful
circumstance.-The following detailed
account is from the Guernsey Times,
published at Cambridge, Ohio:
"The melancholy circumstance con-
nected with the death of this young
man, as communicated in a letter from
Mr.. Wernwag, of indianapolis, to the
brothers of the deceased in this town,
are substantially these--from a detail
of which it will appear that he fell a
victim to the murderous purposes OF
one of those inhuman monsters who
are occasionally to be found infesting
the ranks of society in various parts
of the Union, but more frequently in
some of the new and lawless settle
ments of the far West.
The deceased resided in Indianapo-
lis, and having business on the oppo-
site side of White River which waters
the western borders of that town, he
left his boarding house on the morning
of the Sth and went down to the ferry
for the purpose of crossing. 1t hap.
pened that the skiff, usually kept fol
the conveyance of foot passengers a.
cross the river at that place, was al
the time on the opposite side of tn.
river, where a number of hands in the
employ of Mr.. Wernwag were at work
upon the abutments of new bridge
building at the spot. At the reques

IMPORTANT INVENTION.


Having seen several communication:
in the newspapers from different direc,
tons, on the subject of my 'sCarriact
Wheel Guard" | have concluded, fol
the information Of the public, to give
description of the apparatus: | will
only remark, that it is impossible for
any vehicle that is suspended on an
axle-tree, to be thrown out of its posi-.
ton IN any direction whatever, should
the linch-pln come out-the nut come
oft-the spindle break within the hub
or the axle-tree break ut its shoulder,
or at any other part. With it there is
consequently perfect security from ac-
cident, should any, or all the occur
FENCES take place { at once), above men,
toned, there is no coming to the ground
In any possible shape or form.
Description:
This apparatus consists of cylindri-
cal Hanged rim of iron guards; cir
cular collar; and semicircuIar cap
The axle-tree and wheels are made in
the usual manner. The cylindrical
Hanged rim of iron, is either cast whole
with the hub, or in sections and screw
ed to its periphery in a groove having
two fianges, one on each side, raised
sufficiently high to form a groove to
receive the collar.-The guards are
made of iron, nearly in the form of the
letter Il, and secured to the axle-tree
by a Joint and screw bolt. To each
axle-tree there are four guards, two on
each side. The circular collar, made
of iron, is secured to the ends of the
guards, and is put around the cylindri-
cal rim in the groove formed by the
flanges. A semicifcular cap secured
to the guards by hooks and staples is
put over the hub to prevent dirt falling
IN the groove around the rim. There
are three other modes of applying the
principle of my apparatus, mentioned
IN the specification, that | deem it un-
necessary here to describe, as the pre-.
sent is the most preferable.
Operation Of the Apparatus.
The operation is thus:-When the
axle-tree is whole, and the Linch- pin,
or nut, secure, the wheel turns without
touching any part of the guard or col.
lar; but, should the spindle of the axle
tree break, or the Hnch-pin, or nut be-
come disengaged, then, the wheel would
be prevented from falling by the cylin-
drical collar on the ends of the guards
put around the hub, between the fan-
ges of the rim, as before described;
and, the wheel would continue to re-
voive without any impeachment, except
that created by the friction of the col
lar and rim. Should the axle-tree break
at the shoulder of the spindle, or in
any other part, the wheel will still be
preserved in its ordinary position; but,
will become partially locked from the
friction ofthe collar.
For further illustration of nv in
vention, referto the model and drawing
OF the same deposited in the "Patent
office" or to those in my possession.
