Horrible ATROCITY.
AN AMERICAN CONSUL MUIR
DERED UNDER THE SANCTION
OF MEXICAN AUTHORITIES.

A letter addressed to one Of our most
respectable commercial houses states that
Mr. Laugdon, the American Consul for
Lacuna de Terminus, died few days
previous from blows received from negro
at Laguna, (under sanction Of one of their
justices. He had been most cruelty treated,
and sent to dungeon where he re.
NAMED three nights with condemned Grim.
inaIs, from whence he succeeded in escap-
ing with his lady to small village between
that and Campeacby, where he died of his
wounds. Hislady had gone up to Cam
peachy, and an order from the old Judge
had followed her back to Laguna, to an
swer the charges against her husband.
The above is copied from the Cour. of
yesterday Moulton Telegraph.

rapidly in the breasts ofevery one present,

Eugene stood over the body ofhis Adele.
The molonless and marble lace was turn.

Her light laugh no longer met his ear
her sweet glance no longer thrilled his soul
Her perfect hands lay, like those Of wax
en- image, crossed upon her bosom. That

fallen over her forehead: Eugene put it
back tenderly with his fingers. He seem.
ed fearful of awaking her from gentle
slumber; and. as if forgetfully under the
influence of this idea, after few moments
of deep, silent pcrnsal Of her still lovely
face, he said in a whisper to the attendants
in waiting:

Through the profound stiffness, the mo-
tons Of men lifting the sweet burden were
heard with strange dislinctness, and their
trampling feet sounded, each step less au-
dibly in the distance, till they died away.
Eugene Lagare was alone, and a prisoner,

Years passed away-Adele was forgot
ten by all but one. The fiendish guilt Of
old Lagards was never discovered. The
world was nothing to Eugene without A.

crime, and was sent to the galleys. The
young and the happy will scarcely believe
that "this old worldn is full Of similar
scenes.

We insert to-day slip from the Yazoo
City Wing, statement of the defalcation
of the Teller of the Commercial Bank O.
Manchester, by which it seems the Teller
was short in his cash eleven thousand and
seven dollars and sixty-nine cents. The
Bank will not loose the amount,as it seems
a bond to the amount Of $4,000 was Civ.
EN- by Griswold for theperfolmance Of his
duty as Teller. This default, it seems,
was occasioned by the young man having
INDUCED in betting at the Faro Table.
The directors have offered reward Of
i've hundred dollars for his apprehension.
CHARLES GRIswoLD.-It is with feel
ings Of mingled regret and astonishment
that we have to notice the defacation Of
Charles Grlswold, late Teller Of the Com
mercial Bank of this place. He left sud.
denly on Sunday evening, the l4th* inst;
at which time the Bank was undergoing
the usual sem-annaal examination; and
it was not known, for several days, that he
had gone farther than on visit to some Of
bis friends in the country. Proceeding in
the examination, however, the Committee
of Directors detected the defalcation, and il
soon became apparent that he had fled.
L seems By the Report of the Com
mittee, whose statement we this day pub.
Iish, that the cash account Of the Teller is
short 81 ,007 Sc. His bond to the Bank,
for the performance Of his duty as Teller,
was $4,000. Since his departure, it has
been ascertained, that, within the last few
weeks, he had INDUCED in gaming; and, ii
is believed, that nearly the whole amount
was expended in that way. He was a
young man universally esteemed; and the
circumstance adds another strong proof Of
the fatal effects ofthe Faro Table. Led on,
70 doubt, at first, by losing small sums, and
struggling to regain il, heat once lost his
character, and covered his memory with
infamy. His parents reside in the city
Of Now. York, and are, we learn, most re-
spectacle and worthy people. We sym.

SLAVE TRApE.--Letters from Rio Jsnciro
dated two months since, mention tha, there
were at that time M port thirty six fast sail-
ing vessels, fitting out for the detestaoIe traf-
ic in slaves, as openly as colicrs on the
Thames. In the month Of January last, into
the port Of Rio alone, 1912 slaves were
brought in three ships; and in the month Of
February, 1857 slaves were brought 10 ten
ships. AS the destruction Of life in these
voyages owing to the strict precautlon used
against capture, is seldom less than one halt.
these transactions for one Brazilian port, aud
during two months only, involve the sacrifice
OF moro than 1900 human beings.
