of their parents. Before the advertisement

found at Dedham. where they spent one
night and all their money, and concluded
TO go back again.
Improbable as it may seem, these lads
left home intending 10 go TO Ieras with
the recent stories about which, their young
heads had been completely turned, and Of
which they had formed an erroneous est
mate. They were going to fight the Mex
leans, and one Of them carried with him a
pair of pistols which he borrowed without
permission Of his father, and another con
trived to make raise without selling

continuance OF the war, the value Of land
and chance Of making their fortunes. So

an atrocious murder, which was commit
ted on the night of the Goth ult. about
nine miles east Of that place. on the per.
son of man named James Martin, sup
posed TO have been resident of Kinds
county, Mississippi. II appears, from ev-
idence adduced before the inquest which
sat in the case, that the deceased was ira
yelling in company with five negroes, four
women and one man. and that, on the
night in question, during their encamp
ment, the murder was committed by the
man, while Martin slept, by means of one
of his own pistols, which had been taken
for the purpose. From appearances the
shot was supposed 10 have proved instant
ly fatal. According to the report of the
corroner's jury, one OF The women was &C
cessary TO the murder. The whole five
were lodged in jail, and were to be hrot
up for examination on the following Mon.
day. The sum Of 81 SAL So was found
upon the person or with the effects of the
deceased. This has been deposited for
safe keeping in the bank at Morgantown.

two horses, trunk of clothing. &c. re.

THE TELEGRAPH,
CHRISTIAN UNION.
MAY 8,

The friends Of Christian Union in Con-
necticut have commenced some practical
experiments. Several meetings for devo-
ton have been held, in which four differ
ent denominations united, A meeting
was recently held at Derby, IN which were
CARBOHYDRATES, Episcopal1ans, Bap-
lists and Methodists, A correspondent Of
the Christian Witness has given the fol-
lowing views of the characterization
Waterman.
The object whi>h seems now to be be-
fore these friends of Christian union, and
from which there is very little dissent, is
this,-namely, to bring the evils of disun-
ion, and the blessings union out to pub
lie view, that the former may be seen, and
hated and forsaken; and the latter may
be seen, and loved, and practised, to the
breaking down Of every wall that separ-
ates those on earth, who are to dwell for
ever together in heaven; that in the last
days as in the first of the Gospel dispense
ton, there may be one fold, one Shepherd,
eoen Jrsus Christ. Their desire, their
effort, and their prayers, all concentrate to
this one point, the having Of one rlslbIc
ChnrrA They would that all who pro
TESS and call themselves Christians might
present to the world, the spectacle of one
body, having many members, all inAuenc
ed by one mind, stirring together TOR the
filth Of the Gospel. They believe they
have God on their side, and so despjse
not the day of small things. They know
that the object is vast indeed, and that i,
cannot be attained by human might OF
skill, but by the Spirit Of the Lord
Therefore, they would say to all who love
the interests of Christ's kingdom, anv
would promote them, give this cause your
prayers, and your hearty cooperation"
