The Murder in ArkaRsas-The Little Rock Ga
zette of the 23d inst contains full and detailed ac
count Of the trial of Colonel John Wilson late Spea
ker Of the House Of Representatives, and member
from Clarke county, for the murder Of Major J, j.
Anthony, member from the county OF Randolph, on
the 4th day OF December last There were six wit
nesses examined on behalf of the state, and two in
behalf the accused
appears from the testimony that this unfortunate
occurrence originated in an alluson made by MIR
Anthony in regard TO the Real Estate Bank, Of
which the Speaker was President. The deceased
was speaking on bill relative to granting premi-
ums for killing wolves the bill required that an at
hdavit be made before magistrate previous to the
payment Of the premium. Mr. Anthony moved to
strike out the word magistrate, and insert the Presi-
dent OF the Real Estate Bank. The Speaker imme-
diately asked, do you mean to insult the chair
II You do, you will lake i back very quick" Mr..
A. disclaimed any insult but observed hahe thought
the certificates should be signed by man of great
dignity" As soon as these words were uttered, the
Speaker left the chair, and as he descended, drew
his bowie knife, having blade nine inches long.
Mr. A. then left his seat, and drew his knife blade
twelve inches long, advanced towards the Speaker
aourshing the knite7-Inade two passes, and struck
him on the arm. Wilson retreated few PAGES, and
as he was in the act of again advancing, Anthony
threw his knife and afterwards chair at him. Will
son then rushed towards Anthony, who immediately
picked up another chair 10 defend himself Wilson
caught II, made thrust with his knife underneath
the chair, which entered Anthony's breast, who inn
medately fell and expired
The verdict of the jury was Guilty OF excusable
homicide The prisoner was then discharged.
In speaking of Major Anthony, The Gazette OBJ
serves he was an officer of the war Of 1912 with
Great Britain, and was one of the gallant defenders
Of Fort Sandusky subsequently served in the Greek
war, under General Jackson, where he acquitted
himself in such manner as TO give entire saisfac
ton TO that distinguished military chief"

The North and the South-The New York Com
mercial says, that at the time when the great fire
took place in that city, though strong appeal was
put forth to the people of the United States, less
than $4,000 were contributed out OF the city. The
contributions for the relief of the Charleston suf-
ferers in Boston and New York alone, have amount
ed to 10000; and the Commercial avais itself of
the strong sympathy manifested at the North for
Charleston, to show that the South greatly err when
they talk of the hostility of the North.

FoR THE MADIsoNIAs.


Oh, Eloquence thine Is the pow'r
To cheer the heart in dangers hour,
To lull the passions into rest,
And soothe the pangs that rend the breasl
But when in proud array advance
The foes OF ffeedom-when the lance
Is raised upon the battle ground
And shouts of war are echo'd round;
Then, Eloquence, thy magic tone
Can urge the weak and fearful on,
And nerve the arm, and cen control
The secret dread that fills the soul
Methinks Island midst ancient Rome i
The Forum rears its gilded dome
Above my head but bark that sound
That shakes the fabric round and round,
And rolls along the trembling earth, &
Like roaring OF the ocean wave,
When strong Eolus PUSHES forth,
In anger, from his mountain cave!--
II is the shout for Cicero!-
The cry of Vengeance tothe foe p
And see, the sword is drawn--the lance
Uplilled-and the crowds advance 5
With lightning flashing from each eye
Resolved on death or victory -
How lovely, Eloquence, art thou,
When robed in virtues bright array
And charity upon thy brow
Thou tell'st Of lands afar away,
Where happiness forever reigns,
Anddeathless verdure clothes the plains.
Is there heart thai does not feel
A wound, more poignant than Of steel,
Oh Eloquence when thou dost show
The streams of blood from Christ that flow,
Ason the sacred hill he dies
For sin sinless sacrifice! ..'.
Yes, Eloquence, thou can'st control
The varied passions Of the soul;
Thou can'st, by thy all-potent voice,
Bid tears to flow, or hearts rejoice
Then, point to Angels blest abode,
And show the way that leads 10 God

THE sUR.TREAsURY MEETING.

THE SUB-TKEASUR1 MEETINE.
The city and county meeting of the democrats
friendly to the passage Of the Subtreasuy bill at the
county courthouse on Monday evening, was quite
thnly attended, and considered failure by a large
number of those present. Charles J. lngerso Esq
presided Addresses were delivered by Col John
Thompson Dr. Draper, and Colonel James Page,
and resolutions adopted urging the passage Of the
bill at the present session of Congress In the after
noon we noticed the corners of the streets large
pacards, containing an appeal to the democracy to
attend the meeting, and urge the immediate passage
of the bill, and we understand that considerable
crtions were made to raise large meeting. The
court room was not much more than half filled, and
the meeting was not half as large the former
on the same subject We believe that the democra-
cy of the city and county decidedly opposed TO
the agitaing of this subject at the present time, and
consider it highly injudicious, and calculated to di-
vide and distract the party at a time when it beloved
them 10 move together in a solid phalanx.
