The Devil Killed.

The Raleigh IN. Cl Rasp, gives the fol-
lowing account Of a fellow being shot in Geor-
gia lately in the disguise of devil.
The fellow disguised himself with club
foot went TO the house Of an old lady, rich
widow, called himself the devil, and frightened
the family off the premises, took the old lady's
money, and eloped. In the act of rctreating,
he was met mile or two from The house by a

of the old lady. where he found the family r

told that the devil had been there; and they
were compelled TO fly to the woods for proec-

formed them that he had just killed the devil.
They Immediately took the road, and track

The Mexican Revolution.

The Water Witch, from Vera Cruz, brings
accounts three weeks lalerthan before received.
We take from The Courief, news as given in
letters which announces the end of the new
Revolution, and the accession of Santa Anna
10 The Presidential Chair
Bustamenle was iniimidated by the formidable
array of The asprant, and agreed 10 leave the
whole question 10 The decision OF convention.
This consisted mainly of Santa Annals fol-
lowers, and it was readily decided that their
chief should rule, and that Bustamenie should
abdicate and leave the country.
A letter Of the 18th from this city, says the
new government was organized on The Sunday
previous when the following persons were ma
med for the ministry; Gen. Tornell minister,
Of war; Gomez Pedraza, minister of foreign al
fairs; G. Castilllon, minister of industry Fran

GREAT REJOICING AMONG THE ABOLITION
IsTs.-A very curious event occurred at Town
send, Middlesex Co., Mass.-one perhaps I'm
paraleled in this country, and which has caus-
ed much rejoicing in the colored circles, and
not little amazement among the politicians
The three political parties-Whigs, Loccfocos
and Abohtionists--were equally divided in that
town, and neither party could elect Represen-
tative TO the Legislature without the aid of an
other party The Wings and Locof6cos by
turns couried the favor Of the Abollionisis, and
proposed TO unite with them upon a man who
should represent either Whig and Abolition prin-
ciples, or Aboilionism and Locolocoism The
Abollionists refused 10 have any other than their
own man. The others getting vexed at their
obslinacy, had an understanding between them
selves, and resolved 10 give their Abolition
friends real Abolition representative. Accor-
dinghy they nominated very dark but respec-
table old colored man, and as both Wings and
Locofocos voted for him, he was elected, over
the regularly nominated Abolition candidate by
ten to one. The respectable old colored Re-
preventative agreed to take his seat a mem
ber, if elected There being no disqualification
on account Of color Butfil seems that all in(or-
mali,y in keeping the polls open beyond the e-
gal time has rendered his election null. An
other meeting is TO be called Immediately, and
if The Aboi,ionisis still hold ou,, The colored
gentleman will be elected, sure as fate.

A Daughter Shot by Her Father.

An accident of the most deplorable and melan-
choly nature, causing the death of young and
beautiful female, occurred in the upper part of New
York, on Monday morning. The n. Y. Courier
says:
Mr. Noble, a master mason on the Croton
Works, residing in Eighty-sixth street, having
heard that persons had threatened to attack his
house, has recently been in the habit Of keeping
loaded pistols in readiness in of such an
event Yesterday morning some friends called
to see him, and these pistols were lying on chair,
and one of the gentlemen without perceiving them
SAT upon them; bGt at the request of Mr.. Noble,
who said they were loaded, Immediately got up,
and Mr., n. took one of them up to shcw it and
raised the hammer. While in this position his
finger slipped, and the hammer coming down upon
the cap, which remained in the socket, the charge
exploded, and horrible to state, the ball with
which the pistol was loaded struck his daughter
Jane Noble, who was standing two Or three yards
of, in the right side Of the head, passing through
the brain and causing instant death.
The unfortunate young lady was about twenty
two wears of age, and was as universally beloved
as her untimely end will be deplored The
wretched father is in state of frenzy, and it il
very questionable if he ever RECEIVERS his reasons

"Jp Salt River"---By recent letters from
this Saline EIysium," we learn that the Looos
have lell phings in such horribly bad condition
that The Wings will scarcely be able 10 inhabit
it. All the gardens and Improvements made by
the Wings during their long sojourn there pre-

Masle, the schoolhouses turned into gambling
shops, and The log cabins torn down or blown
up The Locos have also made clean work of
the " hard cider'-noi a drop left. The place
will have to undergo considerable repairs before
The Wings take possession but, as they intend
10 stay but one gear, ii cannot be expected that
The improvements will be very extensive.
