SCENE IN A PALACE.

The bold attempt to seize the young
Queen Of Spain and her sister, is one OF
the most remarkable events, in a small
way, of these modern times. 1t reminds
one of the old iron bound ages, when steel
clad barons paid no more respect to royal
ty than they did to mercy or humanity
The only parallel to it, that occurs to US
at the moment, is the staying of RiZzio in
the Royal apartments Of Mary Queen of
Scots. The following is from the London
Chronicle:
The dabolica attempt of carrying Oft
the Queen from the Palace commenced
last night. The execution Of the plan,
conducted by Generals Concha, Leon,
Duke Of San Carlos, Casa Solo, and 9TH
ers, properly began at seven O'Clock, in
the Hussars Of the Princess, below the
Palace. This regiment, which was most
faithful, was made prisoners at the mo-
ment they were proceeding to take orders
at the Dukes residence, by stratagem.-
Concha, with three companies of the re-
VOTED royal guards, came upon all the
soldiers in the guard room, and threatened
10 fire upon them if they stirred. His at
tention being called 10 another quarter, the
officers succeeded in getting to their men
ard horses, and rendered noble service
during the night. Meantime, Concha i'm
mediately went TO the Palace with twelve
companies more of the revolted guards,
and at once obtained possession of the
whole lower part Of the Palace and stair
case.
The three companies Of guards on actual
duty at the Palace, said TO have been brib-
ed, and no doubt truly, offered no resist
ance TO his entry, but withdrew to the ar
mory, a long building in front of the
Palace The relieve guard of halberdlers
of about one hundred men, had also I'M
fortunately not arrived at the time; and
the whole defence of the Palace, and the
Queens person, with the In(anta, her Sis
ter, devolved upon nineteen old hdlber-
ders, commanded by Col. Dulce, young
man Of thirty, and nobly did these veterans
and their young commander perform their
duty. statioring two men at each door IN
the series of rooms leading to those occu-
pied by the Queen, and placing himself at
the first, which he actually left open, ne
and his brave companions defended them
selves and their royal charge from halt

1t has been customary to write slaves for

this confounds staff with stave, of a cask.
| therefore separate the words, making
stats the plural Of staff and retaining stave
in its proper form with its plural slaves.

rivative of pinch, as it ought to be ; the
second is, this is the universal popular
pronunciation, and It being correct, it can
never be banished from use.
countenancc the word drouth, because
this is the true original photography, and
because it is the universal popular pro-
nunciation. Lord Bacon wrote droughth.
Conceit deceit, receipt. Here is one of
those strange discrepancies which charac-
terIze our language. Why should the
Latin conceptus, deceptus, lose p in conceit

plural; but let corps, in a military sense re-
tain its French pronunciation, as an anom-
ally. 1t can not we'll be made English.
Some persons allege that they are afraid
to follow an altered orthography, lest they
should be thought to be guilty Of bad spell
ling.
Then let them, by their persevering
practice, show the world that they know
how to spell better than their fathers. The
language has been left toignorance, negli-
gence, and caprice long enough; it is high
time to subject it 10 rules and consistency.
The trouble Of doing this is small, and the
end advantageous and honorable.

A meeting was held, which resulted in
the formation of an armed corps exceed
ing one hundred in number, who resolved
to drive the whole gang out Of the county.
This they proceeded 10 do; but, in the
mean time, Yoakum heard Of his plot ha-
wing been detected, and fearing the indg-
nation Of the people, had left his planta-
ton, and, in company with some of this
gang and negroes, started for the West.
When the corps heard Of this, they imme-
dia;ely gave him pursuit 1t was not long
before they found out his route; and, soon
after, both parties met at a place called the
Big Cypress, near Houston. Here a por-
ton Of his gang resided. The corps shot
Yoakum and one or two Of the most des
perate ruffians Of his gang. They then
had his negroes bound to trees, and COM
PEELED them to unfold the secret acts Of
their late master. One Of them detailed a
most horrid catalogue Of crime. He sta
ted several murders known TO him that his
master had committed. Some Of these
were once citizens Of the county, and their
sudden disappearance had always been
looked upon with n suspicion Of foul play.
The corps subsequently examined his
residence, when these evidences Of muir
der were fully confirmed. At the bottom
Of an old we'll, human skulls were seen,
where they had no doubt been thrown as
each fresh murder had been committed
Among various other things, also, there
was watch found, with strangers name
IN it. This, negro declared, he had
seen on the person Of a gentleman who
had once lodged there all night. The re-
sidence of 1oakum is called the Pine Is

have been compelled 10 stay, by the adj
vanced state of the day, bad weather, &c
until it almost became usual stopping
place for travellers From these circum-
stances, he had ample means for carrying
out bloody list of tragedies. There can
be no doubt bat that his ficndish tempera-
ment had its full safe in flesh, and has
sent to the fatal bourne from whence no
traveller returns the last sad remains of
many valuable life. The rest of the
gang have fled, ard now ample security
and peace exist throughout the county.

TEXAS-MURDER-L LAW-LAST
OF THE YOAKUM GANG.

We have been put in possession OF the
facts in relation to this affair, which is one
among the last Texas Tragedies. The
citizens of Jefferson County, it appears,
have long suffered from their outrages,
and from their numbers and recklessness
of character, it seemed impossible TO arrest
their injuries by the hand of civil power.
Cattle have been stolen, robberies com
mitted, and citizens nsulted and murdered;
but still, whenever they were arrested on
the charge, the gang came forward with
periured oaths, and they were acquitted
.Yoakum' was hardened into the most IN
veterate degree of crime, and seemed but
to reap enjoyment by pursuing the most
fiendish acts OF ROBBERY and murder. 1t Is
IA most singular instance of the effects OF
habit. He was a rich and aflluent planter,
and lived in a sumptuous and most magnl-
ficient manner-kept splendid equIpage
owned over hundred negroes, and
large tracts Of land-had constantly abou!
hundred breeding mares; made yearly
sale of fifteen hundred cattle, and had a
large revenue coming in from other sour
ces. There is no doubt but that he was
the richest man in Texas. Yet, with all
this wealth, his disposition to plumber knew
no bounds.
The cause Of his death arose from an
abortve attempt to murder Mr.. Carey, of
Houston County. Mr. G. is highly res
pectable and wealthy citizen of the town
Of Houston, and was, at the time, staying
at the residence of Yoakum. He was sus-
pected of having a large sum OF money
with him, and Yoakum determined that he
should be murdered while in bed. The
plan was properly matured during the day.
and every thing placed in readiness for It's
commission. Nothing remained but the
darkness of the night. Then the pulse haa
TO boat its last throb, and the cold hand oil
death steal away the last expiring breath.
Fortunately a faithful negro servant OF
Mr.. Carey had heard of the intended muir
der, and communicated the design to his
master, in sufficient time to give hum a
chance Of escape. He managed to DO TINS
and when sufficiently out Of the reach OF
Yoakum made the facts public to The GU
zens The people no sooner heard oil II
than they were satisfied of its truth; lot
| the good character Of Mr.. c. is proveroIal'

therefore the Company are willing to make
any fair and equitable arrangement which
the Legislature may think beneficial 10 the
progress Of the mork and 10 the interest OF
our citizens.
Finally, we take leave of the subject by
expressing the confident hope that the
wisdom of the Legislature will be so d.
rected as 10 preserve the faith and honor
