Murder of Capt HortOn.-The following
letter gives the particulars of the murder of
an unOfending citizen at disgraceful de-
oauch of the Loco Focos in the town of
Greene, Chenango Co.
Correspondence of the Albany Evening Journal
| Capt. Arnold Horton, attended our Town
Meeting on Tuesday last. After the Loco
Focos ascertained that their ticket was elect
ed they went into Calendars Ball Room and
set up yelling and drinking which soon at
tracted crowd. Capt. Horton among 9TH
ers, went into the room. The cry was raised
that there was Wing in the room, and a
motion was made and carried that the Wings
should be put out, whereupon a crowd gath
cred around Horton, forced him through the
door and over the bannisters down stairs
They then returned and reported that they
had pitched the id Wing down stairs
and hoped it had killed him. The revel was
continued without inquiry about the fate of
their victim.
! Capt. Horton was taken up for dead. Four
bones of his neck were crushed. His back
was broken. Indeed, he was so shockingly
mangled that DIR. Willard, in his testimony,
| expressed his establishment that he survived
an hour. He did, however, linger till the 9th
inst when he died.
Capt. Horton has left wife and eight chill
dren, who were in great measure depen-
dant upon him for support. The scene at
Arnold's when the Coroner's Jury assem-
bled, was heart-rending. There lay the life
less, mangled corpse of him who was muir
dered, in the prime of life, tor no other crime
than being a Wing! In the same room sat
his heart.broken wife and bereaved orphan
children, weeping over the remains of him
who had supported and protected them!

We are enabled to announce the fact that
the Governor of Maine-all the members of
Congress from that State, with the exception
of that patriotic Loco Foco, Mr.. Virgil Del
phini Parris-and a large majority Of the men,
bers of the Maine Legislature-HAvE SIGNED an
application to the President, in favor of the
appoi ntment of DANIEL WEBSTER as the Spe-
cial Minister to Great Britain. If Mr.. Van
Buren, secs fit to disregard this recommends
ton, it will prove to the people the falsity of
his pretended desire to consult the wishes of
those most interested in the settlement of the
difficulty.

AUGUSTA, Sunday, March II.
The excitement that for time has perva-
ded our whole community, on the subject Of
our border difficulties, is fast subsiding. The
general impression is, that our Madawaska
war is nearly ended. It is true the State has
vet force Of three or four thousand men in
the field, but there is now every probability
that in few days they will be dismissed,
and permitted to return to their quiet homes
to give an account of the battles they have
fought and the victories won. 1t is now set
tied, believe, that no further attempts are to
be made to stop the trespassers on the dispu-
ted territory, excepting on the waters o. the
N. Brunswick will undoubtedly acquiesee.
There is therefore no occasion for any more
force than what will be sufficient to protect
the timber now cut on that river and tributa-
ry streams, from being carried off by the tres
passers. Such a force will probably be re-
tanned there, and no more.
