T. S. LoAN.--A correspondent inquiries why
the Government will not receive sums less than

that men of small means who wish 10 make a

the fatal ailernoon 10 dun him for all unsettled
account about which there was some dispute
! They both sat down at the table and settled The
various items except SO. About this dispute
arose between them, and high words ensued
during which Adams called him ''a liar" Ex-
asperaled at this he struck him, and scutie
lhereupun ensued Adams being the stronger
man of the Two, threw and fell upon Colt, and
clulched him SO violently by the throat that he
was in danger of choaking. Col: was then w.
ing upon his back on the floor, and as his hand
was stretched out, il came in contact with
something which he at once seized, (but as he
AYERS he knew not what it was) and finding Ad.
ans's grip hard upon his throat, he brought his
hand round and struck him on the back of the
head; this 1t would seem was hardly sufficient
10 stun him, and he only rolled ra.her more on
one side; Colt then struck him again, and the
blow must have fallen on the side of the head.
These wounds, dreadful as the subsequent ex-
animation proved them TO be, were not sufficient
TO release the prisoners throat; but even in the
agony of death, Adams still continued 10 hold
firmly on, until Colt seemed to be at his last
grasp, and then the dreadful blow was given on
the front Of the head, which deprived the
wreched being Of life, and released the other
from his grasp. Colt then arose, and found
Adams corpse.
For some time, he says, he remained stupi-
fled with dread and horror; he knew not what
TO do, and at length determined to make his
brother acquainted with the facts; for this pur-
pose he went 10 his lodgings, but he was not
at home. He then went into the Park, and
walked there for some time, being unable to
make up his mind as 10 The best course TO be
pursued. he at one time thought to tell some
friend, bn! knowing that some stains rested
upon his character, he refraned, lest they
should no, believe his story, and SO deliver him
up 10 justice. After travelling the Park for
many aud many time, he at length returned
to his rooms, and took the dreadful means, with
which the public are already acquainted, to
conceal the awful deed.
We offer no remarks on the above statement,
but simply give 1t as given to us. The story is
very plausible and very probable one; The

Further Particulars of the Horrors
on the Arkansas Frontier.

Some Texas marauders lately crossed over
the line into Louisiana and took forcible pos
session of citizen in the parish Of Caddo. AZ
ter they had carried him into the territory Of
Texas, II was proposed 10 bury him alive
With this intention, grave was then dus-the
unfortunate man being witness TO their move
menls. He stood helpless, counting each SHOW
ei of earth as lie quick termination of his lie,
surrounded by gang of desperadoes, ready 10
crush him beneath the clod and from whose
sentence escape was death. OEerpowered
with the frighilul fate before him, be bounded
Grom his keepers, and rushed into an adjacent
thickel: but before his steps had measured many
PAGES over the earth, heavy volley of musk
eiry brought him 10 The. ground and there he
lay lifeless corpse, victim 10 the insecurity
of our border protection.
His body, after being cut up, was hing upon the
branches Of the neighboring trees, there TO meet
the gaze OF the traveller, and tell him of pow
of human authority but, bike the bowling beasts
of the wilderness, would snap the fragile cords
of life if interest once stirred up the fatal ire OF
their wrath upon him whose voice dare rise
against their iniquities. The deceased man,
whose name was BOalrIght, had thus offended
them: he had, with others oil his fellow citizens,
declared himself openly 10 be opposed 10 them:
and, as might have been expected in country
like ours, where, from the spareness Of from
tier population, ne avenues 10 the wrath OF
bandlttl are wide open, the unfortunate man
had TO forfeit his ilts IS ransom for his alien
alton TO their au.:os.;y The citizens OF our
border country have Witnessed these men, un-
der the name of Regulators and Moderaors,
committing in the territory Of Texas some OF
,he most barbarous cruellies of the 10Th cen
tury
The country on our border, towards the 33d
degree OF latitude, is the principal scene of ac-
tlon; and it is hut few years ago tha, an Amer
can, who had shipped from New Orleans TO
one Of their towns large assortment Of groce-
res and dry goods, was routed out, and hi'
goods forcibly taken off by the gang Nothing
was ever done about it, and the act is now al
most forgotten Awhile ago, one of the cap
tains of the Regulators, aud man tha. was
with him, were shot in small village of the
name of Loganspor,. The captain and the per
SON with him had no. long been gone from the
store where they had been making purchase,
"heh uIHCHdl 20 vi '"ushets was heatu oy 'ho
slorekeeper. He rushed out, and soon dis
covered the two bodies lying on The ground;
there was no one near. and he was left TO COZ
lecture the cause OF their death Examining
mnulely the lace around, it was not long be-
fore he discovered on the earth, beneath two
fallen trees, the Impress OF five or six men; and
ii thus appears thai these two men had been
shot without quarrel or fight, without inma'
tlon, and with the most cool determination. In

Wonderful PreSeruation.-As Amelia Jones,
coored woman, was walking over the roof of
the high marble building No. IL, Wall ST., this
morning, the roof being wet her foot slipped
and she fell from the caves TO the tagging in
the back yard-an unbroken fall of six stories.
At 10 o'clock she was alive, easy, had her
senses perfectly, and complained of liule pain.
She is rather heavy woman, about fifty years
Of age, and was brought up in the family of The
late DR.. Fisher. Those who saw her after heT
fall say she was apparently quite dead when
found, and did not uller groan for some ten or
fifteen minutes. From the physicians report
it seems that dislocalion of her shoulder is The
only external injury. That a human being
could fall from such dizzy height and no, be
instantly killed is passing strange indeed.

THURSDAY MORNING. NOV, IL, Is4I.
GEN. Winfield scott.

We present to our readers, in this days paper,
the letter from Mai. General Winfield Scott, on
the subject of his becoming candidate for the
Presidency, in I845. The letter will be found ex-
plcit without the slightest tincture of noncom-
mttaism.
With most of the leading presses of the party,
we apree that it is quite too early perhaps under
the present aspect of affairs, to attempt the set
Element of the question "Who shall be the DEM
ocratic candidate for President in l545.' The
question. however, is one of vital importance to
the interests of the democracy, and should be
widely discussed, with view to amicabe and
unanimous decision by National Convention, to
be held at no distant day.
II cannot and should not be concealed, that the
position of Gen. Scott is of no mean and trivial
importance In several States he has already re-
ceived the nomination for this distinguished trust,
subject to a national convention, and we find his
name in the same connection, in many of our most
respectable Democratic Wing papers. His frank
and patriotic avowal of the principles he enter
tains, all in consonance with the sentiments of the
ally enhance his popularity, and render more prob
able his ultimate nomination and elevation to the
Presidential Chair.
It will be observed by perusal Of his letter, that
he was, in his political sentiments an adlnrer and
supporter of Mr.. JEFFERSON during his admins
traton, and afterwards of MADISON and MoNRoE +;
was NEVER federalisi, an impracticaJie, nor
an abstrdctionist
The General takes up the leading political
questions now agtating the country, and treats
upon each separately in manner rejecting great
credit upon his character as a sound statesman.
The Judiciary he contends is vested with the
power of defntive and final adjustment Of all
questions Of Constit utionality, arising under the
Constitution, Acts of Congress or Treaties. The
Veto poucr should be abridged and brought under
the control of majority Of all the members of
both Houses of Congress. The Presideatiol term,
he thinks, should be fixed at six years, and no re-
election The measures of the late extra Session
he concurs in and states that had he been in Con-
gress, he should have given them a cheerful sup
port.
We commend his letter to general perusal II
is plain and dgnfed document, and may well
excite the fears of the opposition, while it awak-
ems fresh confidence the treas, Of the true Pat
riot.
