in the Van Buren, part of the Virginia delega-
ton. Bouldin, Patton, Garland and others,
are not collar men, as they are called. The
Illinois, Missouri and Michigan forces, are
most decidedly anti-Treasury Circular. In.
deed, Mr.. Van Buren, has no troops now who
will stand all fire, but the New York s. New
England cavalcade.
The COMING ELECTIONS. These are now
| of the utmost Importance. Indiana is mos
decidedly Wing, and the delegation will be
changed in part, if not in ALL Mississippi
sacrificed as she liaa been by the policy of the
government cannot be very VAN BURENIsH
nor can Alabama and North Carolina.-A
great effort will be made in Tennessee to oust
Bell and Peyton; but late events have moi
been calculated to add to the strength of the
Van Buren, party. Kentucky will do her dr,-
ty. Maryland appreciates the crisis. Rhode
Island even may turn the scale. If then the
coming elections feAult as may be calmly an
ticipated, and even giving Van Buren, nom
inal majority, yet there is hardly the least
doubt that Congress, assembling in the tenn
per it must, will put most effectual veto up
on all experiments upon the currency, and
bring back the country to the condition in
which the experiment found It. John Bell
stands surer chance Of being the next Spea-
ker of the House of Representatives, than Mr.
Polk.-N. X. Express.

Murder ntcyt touL-It is our prov
ince TO record one of the most cool
blooded murders of which we have O.
yer heard. The circumstances, so far
as we can learn them, are these. A.
bout ten o'clock on Sunday morning
last, three men were seen landing from
a skif, about six miles below this city,
at point which is opposite to the ruins
f"the old stone mill )" from whence
they proceeded to the mouth Of lane,
about three-fourtl1s Of mile from the
river, that led to the house of Mr.. Mo-
ses Ewing, an old and respectable far
mer and weaver. At this point they
separated, two Of them proceeding to
the house, and the other remaining.
The two who had left for the house,
after arriving there, put some inquiries
as to the distance to one or two points,
to Mrs. Ewing, the wife of Moses Ew-
g,and concluded by demanding from
her what money was in the house;
that they were told that there was mo-
ney there, and that they were sent for
it, and must have it. She hesitating,
The husband came up, and told her to
give them what money they had.
Whilst Mr.. Ewing was urging his wife
to bring the money, the villains pre-
sented two loaded pistols, cooked, to
her breast, threatening to shoot her
upon refusal, which had the effect
of producing the denied booty she
throwing to them a small bag ofsilver,
containing about 500. Upon this
the robbers turned to go off, but not be-
fore one of them shot the old lady
through the heart! which caused i'm
mediate death. The murdefers fed to
the river, took to their boat and e-eea
ed to the opposite side, and landed q
short distance below the 'fofd mill"
Mr.. Ewing is said to be upwards Of 70
years of age.
Every exertion is now making by
the sheriff and others to secure the
murderer and robbers. One man was
taken up on suspicion yesterday morn
ing, who answered pretty well to the
description Of one Of the three.-Ad-
yocate.
