We fear something is going on fear.
ysulIy wrong in New Ofears. 1t is
I$upposed there has been, or is expecs-
ffd to be, SOME rupture between the
Ifrench and American citizens there.
"a Il that We are able to learn from the
9se wspspsrs is, that great excitement
lad been produced by some remarks
|$sade by the editor Of the Louisiana
Advertiser, casting deep cepsure on a
military company called the "Louisian.
L.gion." The editor i, appears has
s'oughs safety for bimseif in fight. The
Email boat, Watchman, Capt. Gibson,
II hat should have arrived here from
bat city, on Sunday last, did not come

lind 9 O'Clock. The cause Of her de-
|sIention was, that she was seized by
The civil authorities there, to 60 TO the
at Bay ST. Louie, for soldiers

I've are 10 anxious suspense TO learn
arther particulars, though we still hope
Fac violence has been committed

II We have been kindly favored With
|5she perusal Of letter from highly
Respectable merchant in New Orleans
no bis friend in this city, under date
n 81 the 22d ult. from which we learn
$fhat there was report in New Orleans

2lhe New York Sun, that boy named
William Wild, only IA years Of age,
WAS recently convicted at the Derby
jlassizss, England, for the murder Of
1.-Two little girls, Elizabeth and Martha
fSmith, daughters Of a "small farmer"
with whom he lived as "maiden" or
servant. He committed the diabolical
Fact, as he confessed, through spite to
Ilthe Smiths for having brought him
s.back when he run away, end for re-

Ibis duties. The children, it appears, at.
Il tesded school some distance from their
residence, and the boy was sent one

NUDGE LYNCH in KANAWHA.
The last Western Mail brought US
/, Letter from friend at the Kanawha
Salines, dated, 9th September, from
which it appears tina, some fellows from
1 Ohio were detected in tampering with
slaves, end endeavoriugto entice them
TO leave their masters and 60 off ; most
probably with the ultimate view OF sell
ing them al the South.-We strongly
suspect them 10 be a part Of Murel's
gang, and ifso, they got off entirely too
easy.
Kanawhs is border county on the
Stale Of Ohio and, from its position,
peculiarly liable 10 be interfered With
by mischievous or designing persons
from that region. II any thing then
can justify departure from the ordi.-
nary legal course Of punishment pre-
scrihed by Legislative enactmesis, il
will be found in the circumstances at
tending the case in Kanawha. We
spbjcin the following extract from the
Letter Of our Correspondent:
