In announcing the departure of Col b.
from THIS station, we take the opportunity
to remark, that the delicate and arduous
duties deyolved On him, during his recent
command here, were discharged in man
ner calculated TO increase that high res
lpect for his character, as an officer and
gentleman, which ne had obtained in this
community, growing out of long and
Intimate acquaintance with hin, on for
mer occasion. We learn that Col. Bank
head has been invited by the Secretary Of
War to the examination, as a member of
the Board OF Visitors, of the Cadets at
West Point, and that he has accepted the
invitation.
We also take this occasion to observe
generally, that the officers on this station,
during the late critical period. have all
acquitted themselves in manner honora-
bly, becoming their delicate postion--u
hitting the courtesies of gentlemen, with
strlc, military propriety.-- Charleston Cou
Dreadful .Murdsr.-As a gentleman was
passing, on Sunday morning, in Spruce
street, near Schuylkill Fifth, he discovered
on the commons, the lifeless body of a
colouIed woman, whose throat had been
horribly cut from ear to ear. H1 clothes
were much torn, as il violent struggle
had preceded her death, an old razor
was found near the corpes, with the han
die broken, as if the hand of the murder
er had been held off by the deceased. A
Icoroner's inquest has been held over the
body, bu, we have not as yet learned the
verdict Of the jury.
Since the above was written, we learn
n hot fbo kIe han q al
has been arrested, on suspicion of being
her murderer. He has had hearing be
fore the Mayor, this morning, and stands
committed Tor further trial-Phil Gas.
Principles not ucn.--During the late
trial in Paris oil young man of the name
OF BergeroD, who was accused of having
fred a pistoIat the King, he made an o
pen ayowal in court of republican prnci-
piles, when called on for defence, IL open
ly declare" said he, ri am a Republican,
feel conviction that monarchy is inca.
lpable Of making people happy. Hence
it is deduced, that bear paFtic ular ha
tired to the monarch. False reasoning!
my views are not so little. What matters
it 10 me if the King bears the name of
Charles or Philip, if the system be the
sameP To Liberals we leave it to make
distinction between individuals. Repub
licans only look at a difference in princi-
lples. We are accused of desiring the
death of the king. For whatF To us,
the death of the king is but the death of a
man 1t brings with it expenses TO be paid
Cor installing his successor and new train
nf In az ~
we would waste our honor and our blood
in exchange for the life of the King! Have
we not learned to our cost, that kings are
not wanting for the people, so long as
people want kings, and that it would be
only loss Of time tooverthrow monarch
as long rs the monarchicsl principle re-
mains, Ii is the principle we attack"

Minority Tice Prssident-Tt is fact,
but not generally known to the public,
says the New York Commercial, that MIR.
Van Bsren, who was the only minority
Governor of New York had for thirty
years, is also a minority Vice President of
the United States-Aithoush he received
a large majority Of the electoral votes, yet
OF the primary sufirages of the free people
OF the United States, there was majority
Of something like one hundred thousand a.
galnst hlm.-Asd yet bis partizans have
the assurance to talk OF bis popularity.
FRmre's Convention. farmers in
the western counties Of New York held
convention on the Goth ult. at LIE Roy, for
the purpose of securing themselves against
a coalition Of spectators, who, they com
plain, have undertaken 10 regulate the
prices of produce-The assembly is spok-
en- of as having been large and highly res
pectable. In fact, the farmers must look
TO their own interests, say the growers at
lie Roy. And 10 ascertain those interests
truely, they should do as the other branch.
