II has been one great article of accusation
against the Wings, that they passed the Bankrupt
Law. We publish today evidence enough to
convict two, at least, Of the Loco Foco candidates
Of the same offence. We arc for equal justice to
all. II Mr.. Clay and the Wings arc to be called
TO account, for this bill, so be it, But let Mr.. Van
Buren, and Col. Johnson bear their share also.
"Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander." That
is all We ask More Of this tomorrow. See The

ATTEMPTED MURDER.

We are informed that on the evening

seph Roads, Eli Stults shot Abraham
Brewbaker with yauger or rife gun.-
The circumstances, as related to US. are
something like these: Stults aud Brew
baker lived at different houses in the
same neighbOrhood. On the evening Of
the 20th Stults loaded his gun and re-.

he resided, that he intended to kill Brew.
baker. He left for Brewbaker's resi-.
dence, half mile distant, and before q.
ny one from the family whom he Motif

shot Brewbaker; the ball passed through
the Heshy part Of one Of his arms an q
struck one Of his RIBS, which, it is belIev
ed, turned favOrabIy the course Of the
ball, which lodged on the opposite side
without doing, it is thought, fatal injury.
Stults fed to the woods, but was taken
the next day, and failing 10 give bail
in one thousand dollars, was committed
to jail.
Al the las, accounts Brewbaker was in
a fair way TO recover.
1t is said there had been no quarrel or
misunderstanding between the two par
ties, but it is believe d the act Of Suits
originated in an apprehension on his
part tnat Brewbaker stood in the way of
his marrying Young lady Of the neigh.

wife and Two children in Indiana.

BRIDGES.

The want Of bridges over some Of the
principal streams IS a crying evil in this
county. Several Of the largest creHks
running through diferet parts Of the coun
ty, and intersecling our principal high
ways, are often rendered impossible by
high water for several days in succession
This is most frequently the case with
the White.osk creek, running from north
to south through nearly the centre Of the
county, aud frequently cutting US on the
eastern side off from any communication
with the west for two or three days in
succession. The western mail, after
coming within a mile Of Georgetown ID
often stopped BY the high waters and re-
turns without reaching here; and we are
thus deprived Ofany mail from that di'

We would not su ggest any unnecessary
deviation from the economical course Our
County Commissioners are pursuing YET
it seems to US that a remedy for these
evils deserves their serious consideration

in this county at public expense; and
