A HoRRlRLE MuRDER.


The Washington (GeO.) News publish.
eslhe following extract ofa letter, and
yOuches for the respectfully Of the wri-
ter. Theletter is dated
OOLUMBUs, (Ga.) July ~, 1S43.
! belieysI have room to give you the
particulars Of one of the most shocking
murders have overheard of, commit
ted in Barber county, Alabama. 2 few
days ago. A Mrs. Gachet pronounced
Gasha) ana her two daughters we're gis-
tied on the day ofthe murder by 9 Mr.
Brown and his wife. They took dinner,
and remained until late in the evening
with the Old lady and her daughters.-
When they were about leaving, they in.
sisted thai the old lady should 60 home
with iheu1and spend the night. She re-
fused, giving, as reason, that her daugh
lers woul be left alone; and, farther,
that all the money she had was in her
house, They however, continued 10 urge
her, until she consented to accompany
them, to remain the night. Shortly afs
tor her departure, sick and weary trav-
veler rode up, and begged permission TO
stay the night. The two ladies said
they were alone, and he could not stop.
He said he doubted whether he could
ride TO tse next house; and presuming
they were afraid Of him, he told them if
they would consent to let him remain, he
would take his room and suffer them 10
keep the key. To this proposition they
consented, and the traveller soon went TO
his room. Sometime during the night he
was awo1e by a noise in the other room,
there beng but two in the house. Com
tinuing 70 hear some one moving about,
he got up, and went softly to the door,
and discovered man at bureau exam
lining the drawers. He hailed the individ,
ual, who instantly drew a knife and
made at The traveller, who, as. he ap-
preached, shot him dead al his feet
The pistol alarmed the negroes, anG
when they came up, they went into the
ladies room, and found both of them ly'
ing in their beds with their throats cut
and dead! The traveller, on inquring for
their mistress, was taken to Browns
house, On meeting the old lady he told
her sone one had murdered her two
daughters, and that he had shot the viz
lain. Mrs, Brown exclaimed, "yOu have
killed my husband" and so it turned
out-the very person who had spent the
day with Mrs. Gachet had murdered her
daughters! What provdeutial thing
that the man should have been permit
ted 10 remain TO punish the assassin!

From the Pittsburgh Mauufsetu,er.

"Let II be remembered and keep IL
before the people, that The present Whig
party are the Successors in opinion and
in character Of the old Federal party
of l79s."
The above is an extract from the adD
dress Of the wings Of Floyd csun!y, Ind-
ana, to their fellow-citizens. 1t will be
remembered that there is an election PEN
ding in Indiana now, and this Address
was an eleciioneering document.
The wings Of Floyd county deserve
lasting praise for theit candid, fearless
and honest declaration Of principle
What ever may be their fortune IN the
pending canvass, they will enjoy the
proud satisfaction Of having manfully put
forth their true doctrines. How advan'
vantsgeously for the wings of Floyd
county, does this frank declaration con
trast with. the miserable eowardly alter
native Of refusing to declare any "prin
ciple for the public eye" Not only &c
they avow that the universal wing party
'are the successors in opinion and il
charac cter Of the old Federal party o
'99, but the are anxious thatihe fac
should be remembered aud kept be
fore the people,
If the federalists of Allegheny county
had pursued the same independent and
honest course, in avowing their true
principles, they never would have OBJ
tanned a majority. But they have eVinc'
ed daring peridy and duplicity on he
subject, They have attempted TO attach
the name of'Democrar,' to ali their vari.
GUS appellations, They have called
themselves Democratic Anti'masons,
and Harrison Democrats and last, but
most monstrOus in impudence, they
have called themselves "DemOcratiC
Wings"
We do:hope that the noble example
Of the wings Of Floyd county, may b,
extensively followed by their kbrethrer
everywhere, and especially in our owl
region.-and we trust that the biting re
buke to the federal leaders contained il
the paragraph we have quoted, may eve
prevent them from Ungenerously persist
ling in their efforts 10 fiIch from our party
its good name.

CHRISTENING INFLUENCE OF
ILLNESS.

There 10 something in the feeling of
meekness which succeeds after long ill-
nees, of the most delcios and refined en-
ioyment. The spirit, emerging as it were
from the thraldom of its grosser prison,
rises high and triumphant above the
meaner thoughts and petty ambitions of
daily life. Purer feelings, more enob.
ling hopes, succeed; and CLEANS Of our
childhood, mingling with our promises
for the future, make up an ideal exist
ance, IN which the Tow passions and cares
Of ordinary life enter not or are fOrgotr
ten. 'Tisthen we learn to hold con-
verse with ourselves; Ills then we ask
how has our manhood performed the
promises of its yeuth2 or how have ouI
ripened prospects borne out the pledges
OF our boyhood? 'Tis then, in the calm
justice of our lonely hearts, we learn
how our failures are but another name
for our faults, and that what we look on
as vicissltudes Of fovtune are but the
fruits OF our own vicss. Alas! how
shortlived are snch intervals. Like
the fitful sunshine of the wintry sky
they throw one bright and joyous tint
over the dark landscape; for moment
the valley and the mountain top are bath
ed in ruddy glow; the leafess tree and
dark moss seem TO feel touch Of spring
but the next Instant it has passed; the
lowering clouds and dark shadows inter
vene; and the cold blasts, and the morn'
ing wind, and the dreary waste, are once
more before us.-[Ncw Mirror.

owners of any steamboat or conveyance
that they will not be accountable unless
a receipt is taken, does not exonerate
them from responsibility.
The same decision has been given in
many cases in several Of the States az

From the Hartford Times
A DESPERATE

We noticed, a day or two since, the
fact Of fight at barbecue near Mont
gomery, Ala, in which a number were
engaged, and one man named Boyd was
killed by person named John Owen
Owen escaped, and several persons start.
ed in pursuit of him, and overlook him
in Coosa county. The Montgomery
Journal says:
"He refused 10 be taken, and made a
desperate resistance. He stopped for
the night at a private house on the road +,
and on learning the arrival Of his pursu-
ers, entrenched himself in aa old out
house, armed with pistols, double bar
relied gun, and a supply of ammunition,
and maintained his position during the
night, in the course of which he sues
ceeded in wounding several ofthe assail-
ants, and was himself shot several
times in the body, and had one hand
shattered. In the morning he threw
open the door, and discharged his last
load of ammunition, and rushed out and
engaged in a hand conflict, and woun.
ded one man with his bowie knife. He
was again shot twice, and finally killed
with his own knife. Among other ex'
hibtlons of his singular desperation, we
are informed that while on the ground
he drew out the knife from his own, body,
and struck with it fercely at his assail
ants. A number of gun shot wounds
we're found on his person, received dur
ing the night, which he bandaged with
various articles Of his Dress"
John Owen, it appears bore traits o
character well calculated to have made
distinguished man of him. Six hun
dred such men weuld have subdued the
Florida Indians three years sooner thar
the six thousand U. s. soldiers did, anC
il is pity that he did not turn his han'
to usefulness, instead Of fighting in
disgracerul manner. 1t reflects no cred
it, however, upon those who capture
him, that they took his life. Hundred
of criminals have assumed as threa thin
an aspect as he did when pursued, bu
they were taken alive. We see no evi
dence that he did not slay Boyd in Se
defence, for itappears that he killed h!'
in general fight at 'barbacuo'-a dll
ner party similar TO that at which ne,
, er was roasted whole in honor OF M
Clay
