Seldom. indeed, have we head of murder of
greater atrocitv than one recently perpetrated
in Scott county, (ky..) on the person Of Mrs.
Elizabeth Risk, by negro women, her servant.
The circumstances are thus detailed blythe George
town Banner of Friday
The negro women had been ordered by Mrs
K. from her work in the corn-feld, and told to
make fire. The fire was got ready, to which
was added an unusual quantity Of dry brush, the
blaze from which Mrs. r. was endeavoring to ex-
tinguish when she was thrown head-ong into
the fire, by her servant women, from which aw-
full dilemma she soon extracted herself bu, unfor-
tunately, i'll her retreat, she again came in contact
with her negro, by whom she was levelled TO the
ground with axe, which penetrated her skull
TO the brain Notwithstanding, Mrs. r. again rose
to her feet, and was again knocked down, and
the negro having procured sharp pointed knife,
endeavored to cut Mrs, RS throat, but missed her
aim, the knife having been plunged into Mrs. Rs
mouth, severing her tongue in two. The negro,
full bent on executing her hellish design, contin-
ned to use the knife on Mrs. RS body, until she
lay motionless on the floor, and was supposed by
the woman to be dead-who ran with all possible
speed TO the field and informed Mrs Rs hus-
band that her mistress had fallen into the fire,
and burnt herself to death. Mrs r. so far recov-
cred as TO relate the circumstances to her hus-
band and others, to all which the negro afterwards
made acknowledgment. She has been tried
before an examining court, and sentenced to avail
her final trial at our September court.

Something New.-A patent has been taken out
in London and Paris for an improved process of
embalming and preserving subjects for anatomical
purposes. paper on this subject was read be-
fore the Medical and Chrurgica Society in Lon
don, short time since, drawn by G. Smith, ac-
companed by several specimens Of large BIRDS
which had been subjectedto the process, and
which at the end Of more than two months, were
found in state Of most extraordinary preserva-
ton, the flesh being perfectly soft and elastic and
not the slightest faint smell dscernible although
no had been taken to empty the craws or
the intestnes, nor had the birds been kept other
wise than freely exposed to the air of common
room, with fire in it. The body of a man who
died in November last, was also submitted to the
inspection Of the fellows of the society, who ex-
pressed their satisfaction at the great effect and
simplicity of the process. and were Of opinion
that the discovery deserved the immediate atten-
ton of the faculty. IF the effects of this pfeser-
vative fluid. used for embalming be not overraed,
it is obvious that this discovery will he attended

FOREIGN ARROGANCE.

We calmly invite the attention Of our readers
to the following communication. y e cannoluust
ourselves with the expression of our feelings
which it has awakened in cur own bosoms. If
any American can read il with Indifference, or
without being al once aroused to take The decided
stand which duty dictates them to do, we fear,
indeed, that the boast of this foreigner is too well
founded, and that the day has gone by to pre-
vent the naturalization of foreigers." But we
40 hope that these repeated insults will awaken
our counttymen to their danger, that they will
yet unite and act while Tiers is time, and save
their country from the yoke Of foreign ignorance
and despotism. To the people of the west we
appeal. The scrfs of Austria are aiming a, en-.
pire--the slaves of thousand years seek to rule
you--will you resist and save your country, or
are you willing that :. Ohio and the other west
ern states should one day. prove new Germany?'
Are the language and the laws ofa'naon of slaves
preferable to your own? VIII you be ruled by
men who have never known liberal thought, or
INDUCED liberal feeling! L is for you TO say.
The danger and the remedy is too plain to need
illustration from us. The cause is before you
decide! If you sacrifice your country we shall
have one consolation" we are guilless." But
you must
awake! arise! or be forever fallen,'

The Savannah mai of Sunday brought
us the intelligence that the branch of the
Darien Bank, located in thai city, had sus-
pended specie payments. The causes
which led 10 such measure, are unknown
to us, though tmay reasonably be suppo-
sed. that the first and principal cause may
I've a lack of specie. Whatever may be
the causes that branch has refused, 10 re-
deem its hills, and by this refusal The prin-
cipal hank has once more forfeited its char
ter; for that instrument clearly declares,
thar The ''no,es issued by The mother bank
shall he made payable at the same, and
the notes issued by anyofiIs Offices of dis
coun, and deposit, shall he made payable
a, said offices; and if the bank, or either Of
lis offices of discount and deposit, shall at
any time fail, or refuse to redeem their
notes in specie. and the same shall he pro-
tested before any notary public, the lcgis-
lature may direct its prosecuting officer to
commence an action in amy court having
competent jurisdiction thereof, for such vi
olation, and on the fact being established,
the charter may be declared and consider
ed forfeited" This is the third time that
this bank has suspended specie payments.
With regard to this particular bank, we
believe tha the holders of its notes cannot

Mr.. Watkins, delegate from Dry Creek.
expressed his conviction, that the declen-
sion of zeal in the advocates Of Temper
ance. aud the small progress which the
cause had made, was attributable to the
fact, tliatii was not kept sufficiently be-
fore the public mind. He urged the ne
cessity Of presenting this subject more fre-
quently 10 the consideration Of The public,
in order to awaken an interest 10 the great
cause of Temperance, and recommended
the adoption Of the following resol uiion:
Rcsoired. That Ministers Of every de-
nomination, throughout the District, he re-
questeh to use their best efforts to keep the
public mind alive, TO The all important
cause Of Temperance. and thai they pre-
sent this subject more frequently to the
consideration Of their respective charges
in their public ministrations from the Pull
pit.
This resolution was supported by re-
marks from several gentlemen, aud tho
following amendment was offered by Mr..
E. Penn, delegate from the Edge6eId
Sncicty. viz:
That every member Of this Board be
requested to take a prospectus Of the State
Temperance Paper, TO be published in
Columbia, and endeavor to procure as
manv subscribers as possible.
The resolution, as amended, was uuan.
imously adopted.
The spirit manifested at the meeting,
was such as 10 render It one Of more than
usual interest.
The Delegates from several Societies in
the District, presented letters respeciihge
the cause of Temperance in their respec-
tive boundaries. which, although they cou-'
veyed intelligence Of no remarkable pro-.
gress, gave evidence Of zeal and interest,
which promised day of better things, aud
inspired the Board with encouragement 10
more untirins perseverance.
