Meuntairl .Adcenftlre. LAS: Wednesday
afternoon, young man from New York,
by the name of Dodge, started from the
Mansion House on horseback, for the sum
nit Of Mount Holyoke. He passed some
time there, and was detained near dark by
a shower before he began to descend.
Starting 10 return, he misiOok the path and
wandered down the southern side Of the
mountain into irackless forest Evening
came, and as he did not return 10 his hotel,
some alarm was felt, and late at night some
persons ascended the mountain 10 the stop
ping place for carriages, where his horse
was found Loud calls were made, but no
answer was returned, except tie dull echo
the forest gave back to the voices. Pursuit
was renewed by Col. Partridge and others
early in the morning, and the wsnderer was
found returning home, near Rock Ferry.
Il appears from his narrative that he follow
ed what he supposed to be the path, after
he left the summit Of the mountain, until he
found himself bewldered in the darkness,
and lost the track. Turning himself in va
rious directions, his bearings disappeared,
and there he was in ths dense forest, the
darkness becoming intense and severe
thunder shower rushing upon his head.
His situation was painful and sgonizus i'll
he extreme. He was a slender young
man, clad lightly, had pumps upon his feet
and both houseless and supperless at mid
night, far from any habitaton, in the midst
OF vast forest scarcely ever before trod,
except by the primative savage. He con-
tnued to grope his way about in the dark
ness for some time calling aloud until eX-
hsusted, when he sank down at the foot Of
huge tree, which in some measurs pro-
tected him from the rain which during the
night, descended in torrents. The frst
sign OF returmipg day enabled him to learn
his position and when light came, by as
conding tree, he discovered the far of
spire Of South Hadley. He directed his
steps ththerward. and after some hours Of
wsaried travel, reached farm house, where
he was kindly entertained nd cheered. His
situation, wlIen he was first seen, was un-
pleasan! enough, having exhausted hhnseIi
with fatigue, worn out the covering TO his
feet, and torn his clothes sadly in his en-
counters with the tangled forest, aside from
the chilIs and colds which he suffered from
his wet couch on the mountsln,-Nor!h-
amptOn C0ur.

Indictment, and your conscience not per-
mitting you moments peace. and having
disclosed to him, all the circumstances Of
this foul murder, you then urged him 10 add
to youv crime of Perjury, in ,estifying TO
your innocence.
The cup of iniquity is full to overflow
ing. Whether you have ever received eth
er moral or religious instructions, il is not
for the Court to inquire or know. But you
ought to be informed that you can expect no
mercy from any human tribunal, no relief
from the executive.
But he, who left his throne on high, and
gave his only begOtten son for the salvation
Of sinners, is the fountain of mercy; and TO
him you must bow your knee and direct
your supPIIcati0n.
Tne sentence Of the law is therefore pro-
nounced.
That you be taken hence 10 the jail Of
the county of Lancaster from which you
came and thence 70 the place Of execution,
and be there hanged by the neck until you
are dead; the said punishment TO be inflicted
within the walls or yard Of the Jail of said
county, in the manner directed by tha Act
Of 10Th April, A. ID. 1894, entitled 4" All &C.
TO abolish public executions"
During the delivery OF the above remarks,
the prisoner hardly moved muscle; betray.
ing, by no outward sign, the most triAins
interest in the judgement pronounced agains
him.

From the N. o. Bulletin, 18th ul,.

From Jamaica. the brig Gannic-
leeft, Captain Jonas p. Levy, sailed from
Kingston the l4ih ult., we have received
files Of Jamaica papers to the 18th Of Au.
gust. From them extracts are copied,
which indicate bad state Of things exist
ing in the Island. To Captain Levy we
are also indebted for communication de-
scribing the condition of Jamaica and its in
habilants during his late visit. He declares
il to be his impression, founded upon accu-
rate observation, that this colony must soon
become "A scene Of insurrection and massa-
cre--a second 81. Domingo. 1t is quite a
common occurrence he says, to see the me-
groes come in from the country and buy fire
arms and ammunition.
During his stay at Kingston, Hayden
schooner of war was captured, in the act OF
landing arms among the negroes. The ring
leaders Of the expedition we're said to be
men of high standing and great influence
in Hayii. The attempt had caused great
alarm among the white inhabitants, but re-
ceived very lille attenlion from the Govern
ment, who appear not TO be apprized of the
threatened danger. AS to the agriculture OF
the Island, the plantations are in state OI
dila pdaliOn, and fast going 10 waste. The
crops have fallen off more than three quar-.
ters of the annual product previous 10 the
acl OF emancipation.
In order to subject American captains iC
suspicion and injurious treatment, they have
been accused of kidnapping the blacks
hence every negro is warned to shun then
As persons having designs upOn their llber
ty. Notwithstanding the number Of manu-
mitted apprentices, ,grea. scarcity of servants
exists. In every white family complaint
are heard of the difficulty Of obtaining me
nisl labor. TO induce the lazy tree negrt
to work, either for " love or money" is de
clared to he impossible. These are few
, Of the first fruits of abolitionism. The fac
is, that the Island is lost TO the whites--lhe
are kept in constant dread and terror Of Ihei
/ llves-ail seem anxious 10 make their escsp
from a spot where death every where threa
! ems them. For that reason property ha
1 deteroraled enormously in value. and, hons
. es and lands are frequently sacrificed fc
r one eighth Of their cost, by persons vh
q wish 10 flee from the country Indeed, III
: negroes openly threaten 10 drive tbs whit
. population out Of the Island; and from the
!, sediciOus behavior. il seems likely that ei
= long they will fulfil their threat. That the
. can ever succeed in establishing an ind
# pendent government is not to be expecie
:. but by harrasslng the whites with perpt
,, ual insults and i'll treatment their point me-
( be eventually gained; and thus the blaeI
get rid of their former masters, and acqui

Emigranfs.--The emIgrantS still excite
attention, and their prolonged stay in our
city has led some TO think that they would
remain during the winter, and become tax
upon us. No fears Of that kind need be en-
tertained' The party now here are from
Prusian Silssia, and number about 700. In
few days more they expect to be joined
by about 800 more, next spring by 1860,
and during the next summer by perhaps
1000 or 1000 Of their countrymen, making
in all moi less than 1900. They are Pro.
tesfnts Of the Lutheran church. A new
organization Of the religious establishment.

THE LANCASTER MURDER.

On Monday Sept. 30, sentence Of death
was pronounced on Henry Kobler Mussel-
man. who was convicted at the last Court
of Quarter Sessions Of Lancaster county
for The murder OF the German pedlar, nam
ed ZELLrRBAcH. The sentence was pro-
nounced by Judge CHAMPNEys, accompan-
led by the following impressive remarks TO
the prisoner. The motion for new trial,
which we referred to some since, was over
ruled by the unanimous opinion of the
Court:
"As general principle. the Court would
not feel justified in adding TO the weight of
the conviction Of criminal, any remarks
or reproaches beyond the sentence Impos-
ed by law. But the circumstances connec-
a with the commission Of your crime are
20 extraordinary and atrociOus and the Court
deem il 10 striking an exception, as to JUS
tify the brief remarks they arc about TO
make. The crime of deliberate murder has
been considered, in all ages, as the highest
in the calendar Of criminal offences, and the
individual who can so outrage, all the laws
of God and man, has been deemed deserv-
inc of dealt, as the only expiaiion that
could be offered for the life he has taken,
and as an example TO deter others from The
commission of similar offences.
The punishment of death which the law
inhicts, is no moro than adequate TO the Of
fence which you have committed.
The annals Of crime hardly furnish .
case, in which all the attenda circumstan-
ces, were marked with such a ferocious and
blood thirsty spirit, as was exhibited by you
towards your unfortunate victim.
You obtained his confidence at Pittsburg
and became his companion and pretended
fnerd; he compensated you for your sergi
ces, and on your journey, at moment wheI
he was unsuspectng and defenceless, yol
aimed deadly. blow at his head, and follow
ing it by a resort TO the knife, which yo
plunged, j. accomplishing your vile purpose
into every vital part Of his body; And whe
an half hour had elasped from the first a
zach, sni the unfortunate Zeller5ach show
ed symptoms of returning animation, an
raised himself to suppllcaie for mercy, tru
TO your murlaEOus and blondy purpose, yo
dispatched him, and sent him to the bar
that omniscient ReIng, who witnessed yo'
cFimes; and, by his my sieriOus Prov
dence, has brought TO light all the clrcuE
stances connected with this foul deed.
And, when the murdered corpse was J
ing before you, at night--in the midst Of
storm; and waiting 10 catch the glimpse
the moon; alongside of the unforiuns
Zellerbach; you cody, and deliberately,
pened his Pocket Book, to examine and q
certain the value Of your plumber. Such
instance cf moral depravity, and destitute
of all the feeling of human nature, C
hardly be found amidst all the dsgredad
and rerklessnoss disclosed in the history
our Criminal Jurisprudence.
Since the commission Of this atrocio
aad bloody deed, you have exhibited in yn
conduo. and declarations, the came nj
desti.uiion Of eyeIy moral and religious {
ligation. Having involved your serV'
Wilman in so nluch suspicion, from the {
sumstance his being your companion
