MIR. CLAY AND COL. JOHNSON.

In the memoir of Col. Johnson, lately publish
ed, says the Ostego Republican, he pays the fol
lowing eloquent tribute to the character of IN,
Wing candidate, Mr.. Clay. 1t should silence
forever, the mouthng, small beer politicians, who
delight to talk of Mr.. Clay's bargain and in
,rigue" with Mr.. Adams in 1921.
From his earliest political career he had been
associated with Mr.. Clay, from the same State
and Tor many years the representative of the ad
Joining district. For the last eighteen years they
have both been conspicuous in opposite ranks
Ut has for that length of time been the interest OF
one to defeat tho other. But under no circum.
stances could he ever be induced to utter a sen.
tence to the dcTiment Of Mr.. G.. as a citizen. a
gentleman, man of honor, of talents and of i'm
tegriiy. All his opposition to him is political.
As man, he esteemed him; as an old friend, he
loves him; and in his honor, he strongly coniides.
If Mr.. Clay were the subject of this sketch, JUS
lice would require the same tribute of respect 10
his nagnanimity and fidelity"

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

Mr.. WIN. Beeler, of this county, was shot by
MIR. Lindeberg, on Thursday last, accidentally.
The particulars Of this distressing occurrence, as
we learn from gentleman from the neghborhood
where ii occurred, follows 1t appears
that Mr.. Lindeberg and the unfortunate Mr. Bee
Ter were on hunting excursion, in guest of wild
turkies. Mr. b. we understand, was in an open
field, near tree encountered with grape vines,
which was between him and Mr.. l.. The latter
catching glimpse of the former through the
vines, surprising him to be the game he was at
ter, and without ascer,aining by proper examina-
ton, whether he was correct in thinking the OBJ
ject he saw was turkey, fired his rifle, and was
soon made sensible of his dreadful, fatal mis-
take! The ball, we are informed, penetrated the
abdomen, and passing through the body, caused
death in about 10 or IL hours after. Had Mr.
Lindeberg been little more cautious, this dread
full circumstance had not happened.

One of the most encouraging circumstances of
the recent Wing success in Pennsylvania and
Ohio is, that they were oSained with hut little
effort. The editor of the New York Tribune,
who was in both States previous to the election,
says that me could perceive in either any symp-
tom that the Wings were trying to succeed. He
was every where told that nert year the people
would rally, but that they were tired of poll
tics. In this way several districts have been lost,
and yet we have thirteen members of Congress
out of twenty-four in Pennsylvania, and nine out
of twenty-one in Ohio, and Wing majority of
two joint ballot in the Legislature. The pros
poets OF the Wings were never brighter than at
this moment.-PifsJwrg. 7dpocaie.

or editor Of this paper, was stabbed at the White
Mansion, corner of Market and Third streets, by
Talbot Oldham, son of Judge Oldham Of Jeffer-

severing large artery, and once in the back
mir. ID. died about midnight.
We do not wish at present TO detail all the cir
cumstances oil the occurrence, but if they have
been truly detailed to us by eyc-wtnesses, the
act was as atrocious murder as ever was perpe-
tratod. Mr. IL. was entirely unarrned.
The assassin, who, even before this act, had an
Infamous notoriety here, Immediately mounted a
morse and fed from the city. The sheriff suisse
quenily went in pursuit, but we have not learned
whether he succeeded in catching him.
