AtrOcious Murder.

% horror horror horror! Tongue nor heart,
Cannot conceive, nor name thee -
The fouest conspiracy that marked the annals OF
crime. has this day been committed In deliberate, cold
blooded and unnitgated murder That cowardly blood
spirit which has long pervaded the House Of Repre-
sentaves and has been constantly and perts
Invoking coacts and strife has, at last been appeas
ed in murder.
Mr. Cnley. Of Maine, was challenged, a few day. ago
by Col Webb. Editor of the New York Courier on &C.
count Of some words used by Mr.. Ciley, the Cor
ruption MIR. Ciley refused the challenge the
greuad that Mr.. Webb gentleman. Mr..
Graves, OF Kentucky, very amable and worthy man,
was induced, II seems, 10 bear Colonel Webbs chal
lenge TO Mr.. Ciley. Last night learn Mr. Graves
the friend Of Col. Webb. assumed the responsibility
Of his principal and challenged Mr.. Cilley. Mr. Cley
accepted it, chose the rifle a weapon. and fixed upon
eleven o'clock, this moraiHg, as the time Of meeting
With such secresy and promptude were the movements
made that knew Of the affair till the parties had
gone out Mr.. Clay and Mr. Cuuenden started in pur-
suit, determined arrest the proceeding Unforusae
~, they could not find the place The Marshal Of the
District made the attempt with warrant, but the
pursuit baffied.
Mr.. Cilley was accompanied by Nessrs Bynum.
Jones Of Wisconsin Col Shumburg Of the Dragons.
and DIR. Duncas. Of Ohio, surgeon.
Mr. Graves attended by Messrs. Wise. Menfee
and Calhoun ofKy. They fought fifty yards. II was
exceedingly cold and the wind blew almost a tempest.
Three times they suffered FIRE. and three times
the fire entirely Intellectual. The seconds Of Mr.
Cilley here interposed firmly and resoluiely,
toid and demanded Of Mr. Graves and his party with.
drawal of the challenge-insislinF that there
quarrel and luminosity between the principals and
that both Of them had shown themselves by their courage
and conduct to be gentlemen But the other party in.
sisted as the only of accommodation, that Mr. Gil
ley should concede that Col Webb is gentleman. He
said he could do that the fourth FIRE took place and
Mr.. Cley fell bleeding victim into the arms Of Col.
Shsmburg. He snot through the lower part Of the
abdomen and died Instantly.

evening and carried his lodgings Third street

city and that the wreches who got up and perpersted
this tragedy execrated by every honorable man.
But Notwithstanding all the meanness cornivance, and
arociiy which have marked this affair, do believe
that there is in Congress who dares announce
the event in proper manner.
even doubt whether the press-the Wing press
dare express the public feeling this occasion II

As to the idea that national bank would
be still more dangerous in both these respects,
that is, if possible, a still more Preposterous
idea. For il supposes that bank which we
have under our absolute control, and our con-
stant inspection, would be more dangerous
than the eight hundred banks Of the States,
with ten times the capital, over which we
have no control, into whose affairs wo have
no right Of inspection. =,
AS to expansions and contractions, with
regard to every bank, these do and must take
place. They are the necessary consequence
of their conncxion with the business oi the
country, and the ebbs and flows in that busi-
ness; but these are compensated, and thou.
sand times compensated, by the benefits OF
that business to the country.
These two phantoms, namely, the danger
of banks to the liberties Of the country, and
the danger Of banks to the stability OF prop
erty, hone have had their day, and VIII soon
vanish. Tho dawn socms to be breaking
upon the country, when these phantoms, Ike
all unreal beings who mock the benighted
vision of mon, will disappear. For, in every
quarter we hear an outcry against tins bar
| barous and chimcrical attempt to carry the
/ country back to a metallic currency as The
| only medium of exchange. Everywhere we
see the people taking their stand on the sido
of that capital which the banks with their
credits alone can give to the business OF the
country. Everywhere their complaints are
! llreprouchins tho Government for the want o.
| that national currency by which alone the
| exchanges, on which the whole business OF
the country depends, can be put on con-
venicnt and prosperous footing.
\ These are the harbingers OF that dawn IA
/, which have alluded. But, though we have
the dawn, we have yet to wait for tho day
that is, we have yet to await the time when
tho people can intcrpose and act Tor then
own relief Yes, the people are yet to SUI,
| fer, and to suffer yet more severely. Iha'
I great pause in the whole business OF the
! country, which has now endured SO many
| months. is vet TO endure for months to come
! and that general distress, which is the con
sequence of that pause, and which has deep
| cncd from month to month, is yet to deepen
and to deepen still further, upon the people
! For # take it TO be settled thing that thus

A CERTIFICATE

From three members Of the MEDICAL PRO
FESSlON in Germany. in Europe.
We. the undersigned. practitioners Of
medicine in Germany. are we'll aware,
that BY our course We may forfeit the
friendship Of snme of the faculty, bu, no,
of its benevolent members. who are unin.
lluenced by selfish motives. Though we
shall refrain from an expression Of our o.
pinion, either Of the soundness. or un-
soundness Of DR.. Goelicke' S nec doctrine,
we are happy to say tina. We deem his
Sanative too valuable not TO be generally
known; for what our eyes behold and our
ears hear. we must believe.
We hereby state, that wher nr. Louis
Ofiin Goelicke frs. came belore the Ger
man public. as the pretended discoverer
Of a new doctrine and new medicine.
we held him in the highest contempt. be-
lieving and openly pronoun.:"g him to
be a base impostor aud the prince Of
quacks. But, on hearing so much said
about the Sanatire, against and for il. We
were induced, from motives Of curiosity
merely, to make trial offs repu,ed virtues
upon a number Of our most hopeless
patients; and we now deem il our bounden
duty (even at the expense Of our self in
wrcst publicly TO acknowledge its mighty
efficacy. in curing not only consumption.
but other fearful maladies, which we have
heretofore beliered incurable. Our con-
temp, for the discoverer Of this medicine
was at once swallnwed up in our u,srr
establishment al these unexpected results;
and as amends for our abuse Of him. we
do frankly confess to the world. that We
believe him a philan,hropis,. who does
honor to the profession and to our coun-
try, which gave him birth.
The recent adoption Of this medicine
into some Of our European Hospitals is a
sufficient guaranty tina, il performs all its
promises. II needed not our testimony,
for wherever il is used, il is its own best
witness. HERMAN ETMULLER. NJ. ID.
