HoRRIBLE OUTRAGE The NEST paiaTgl
Of our editorial duties IS the recording OF
such dreadful atrocities as the following,
which we copy from the Louisville Jour
nal; and the increasing frequency of out
rage, fills the mind with shame. regret and
distressing apprehensions of future evil.
We have derived from respectable
traveller the particulars OF one oil the most
atocious and horrible occurrences that ever
dseraced the annals Of human life, civil

brother in law, Clark, in which he was
beaten. He then went and obtained a lie

with a deputy sheriff attended by posse
Of desperate Williams. When they afrveh

children, and they Instantly fred on him,
wounding two children, and putting two
or three balls through his body, Clark

the midst of his cries for mercy, one OF the
villains fired pistol in his mouth killing

IMPORTANT DIscovERr valuable
discovery OF lead ore was made few days
sirce, by gentIemen Of Morgan county,
Missouri, who was quarrying rock. He
struck lead. from which several thousand
pounds Of ore have already been raised,
and which is supposed to be very extensive,
We conversed the other day with an ex-
perienced miner, who had examined spe
cimen Of the ore, and who pronounced il
TO be Of a superior quality. He supposes
il will yield from rs to 80 lbs. per cwt--
We understand that several new discov-
cries have since been made 10 the vicinity
aud that the restless impulse of speculation
is on the wing Large quantities Of laad
have already been entered, and there is
still prodigious rush TO the land Office
No doubt is entertained of the development
of extensive mineral resources The dis
covefy was made 10 the northern portion
of Morgan county, thirty miles from the
Usage river. Boonville is IS5 miles a little
north west of st. Louis. - oonviile Her.

WuITE's TRIAL.-Poor human nn-
ture, from age to age the subject oil
scorn-the victim oil prejudice--each
has made it target at which TO launch
its arrows; but yet amid the clouds OF
prejudice, q the storms Of abuse, there
are lights that shine out in glorious
beauty upon its divine countenance, liit-
ing the creature to the highest pinnacle
of renown. Traits have been display
ed honorable to the heart, ennobling to
the soul-traits that break in upon the
dream of the misanthrope, and making
him sigh that he has ever cursed world
which can prove itself so good.
We have been led to these remarks
by scene attendant on the trial OF
White, for burning the Treasury, which
we have had the melancholy pleasure OF
Witnessing. We noticed some days
ago, in general terms, the devotion ex-
hibited by the wife of the prisoner to-
wards her unfortunate husband. Since
then, we were struck by little Incl.

manner worthy of record, and it is a
bright testimonial TO the sex, of their ma
ture which has been so much traduced,
that we now place In our columns.
1t fell to the province Of Mr.. John
Key to open the case on the part of
United States and in the course Of his
remaks he felt it his duty to urge upon
the consideration Of the jury the bad
character of the prisoner. He poured
upon him whitening array ofepithets.
During the philippe, White sat per-
fectly patient. His wife was sitting
next to him. and as soon as Mr.. Key
finished the invective, she placed her
hand upon his arm and spoke to him.
White gazed with affection on her face,
and we imagined that the voice Of the
lawyer was still mute in his ear. He
heard no more the loud and angry
charges-he listened no more to the
terms of reproach heaped upon him
saw not the Jury that was try him-he
saw not the bench that, perhaps, was to
pass sentence upon his crime-but his
ears drank in the sweet tones Of thatwo.

say that, but surrounded by persons

A beautiful picture of tho human
heart did the scene present, to our
mind, at least il cast shadow which
nothing can eface. 1t will serve as a
bright memento ola scene replete with
anguish and affection. And this was
the woman who had declared to a wit

Can any one inform US why the Govern
ment is concentrating so much of the
public money in Tennessee? A few days
ago, $500 900 were transferred from the
banks IN this state 10 those IN Tennessee,
aud now we understand, that drafts have
issued 10 transfer zoo. 900 from Mississippi
to Tennessee. Tennessee is the resi-,
dence OF Gen. Jackson, and. perhaps, the
I Government has resolved 10 save the
/ credit OF that State at whatever expense
10 the other States. II strikes us that this
rather an uniavorable time TO make drafts
on the Mississippi banks, when their paper
is flowing back upon them from all quar-
tiers:
The above is from the Louisville Jour-
nal OF Saturday. In addition TO this; we
would observe that $500 600 has likewise
been ordered from this State to Virginia.
Now, the subject Of these movmeuts can.
not be misunderstood. 1t is necessary TO
Mr. Van BGren's re election that Virginia
should be retained IN bis support; and for
that purpose pressure must averted from
that State. Ice Journal very properly
in our opinion, accounts, for the reason
why Tennessee is TO be saved from the
pressure, caused by Gen. Jackson's own
rnInous measures. We are warranted by
the course they are pursuing 10 saying
that they care not how severely Kentucky
or other opposition States may be OPP.
pressed. 50 that they can avert the blow
from their iavorie States. Is not such a
course at war with every honorable or
just principle Of action?-Ky Reporter.
