A Fond Couph.-James Hunter, sentenced to
death for the murder OF b. Lovcjoy, in Georgia,
has been pardoned by the Legislature of that
State. The Milledgcvillc Record states that the
following circumstances came out, under legisla-

ter, he was visited in prison by his wife. During
one of her visits she clad herself in his apparel,
and he dressed himself up in hers, and in that dis
yusc made his escape. Aflcr some hours the

affair was discovered, and the jailer detained the
wife in prison, as being accessory to the escape of
her husband. Hunter hearing in some way that
his wife was kept in Jail, came forth voluntarily
and gave himself up to the proper authority, to
suffer upon the galows, in order to relieve an
aifectonate and confding wife from the walls of
a prison. Under these circumstances, the Legis-
lature granted the pardon.

IInpuGcnt DictntiOn.

We observe by number of Pennsylvania pa
pers that the Harrison Presidential Electors, i'm
mcdiately after the adjournment of the College,
signed recommendation in favor Of Thaddeus
Stevens as Post Master General and brother of
the famous Secretary Burrows, as collector of the
Customs at Philadelphia
For the good of the country and the honor Of
the nation, we hope the President-elect will cx-
clude Stevens from seat in the Cabinet. He is
disgrace to the party with which he stands
identiied-he is morally and politically unfit for
any civil station within the gift Of the president.
Were we anxious to see the dominant party
ruined at the expense of public good, we would
wish for the appointment of Stevens to this sta
ton, for past events furnish sufficient evidence,
that no man can destroy party quicker than
Thaddeus Stevens. Marked By the hand of Ma
ture, in the language of the Duke of Gloster, his

Columbia q. S. Frigate, occurs The follow
ing anecdote:
Is One Of our lieutenants told me story
of sailor attached to ship, that interest
ed me much. !. He was an excellent
seaman, and so religious and peaceful, that
he was called par excellence, the quaker.
He was religious in all his doings, and,
with few companions, seemed to stand
apart fro u the majority of his shipmate.
as one who had little sympathy; but every
officer and sailor respected him, for he

he was religious as generous as he was
