Shocking State of Socity-Anothcr ASSASSINATION
Great Excitement
Mr.. BENNETT
DEAR SIR
Yesterday morning our city was again thrown
into perfect tornado of excitement by the astound
ing intelligence of a desperate, cold-blooded and
barbarous murder committed by Robert Burns
the hours of and 40 clock while returning from the
depot of the Georgia railroad, at the time ofthe
rival of the cars, at which place these men were nc.
customed to meet In the vocation OF runners soil
citing passengers to the public houses. dispute
arose between them, and Burns, being possessed
Of an extraordinary, ungovernable and irritable
temper, drew kuife and stabbed Mr.. Collier to the
heart-he expired Immediately. Burns left the
city, and up to this time no trace OF his where.
ibouts is ascertained. The Mayor has offered
$500 reward for his apprehension. A large mum,
Der of the military and citizens are on the sharp
look out in all directions to arrest the murderer
with other means taken to ferret him ont
Several have been put on trail, and tits
said, will accomplish the desired purpose. =
Burns has previously enjoyed the. unenvia-
BILE reputation, of being bold and desperate
movements. II is said he killed man before this
out in Arkansas, where they grow desPeradoes and
ruffian outlaws, and State prison birds; Mr.
who knew him. He has left a family and hume
rous friends to mourn his sudden and unfortunate
death. Thus we 60 from one extreme OF despera-
ton, ruin and death, to another and still another

place this afternoon; there was large attendance
Notwithstanding it rained quite hard all the time

thermometer was down nearly to zero yesterday
it was up to 40 or 90 degrees.
At Worcester Mass. last Tuesday the mercury was 7
degrees below in Newark on Friday. below at
Albany Thursday, below and in Boston below.

THE FOURIER WING ORGAN has not said a
word in replyto our remarks in its manifesto against
the American Republicans. The reason, no doubt,
is dread and alarm at the abandonment ofthe whole
rank and file of the party, before the next spring
election. In the mean time the locofocos are in
as bad predicament. We should not be at all
suiprized if next April would reveal one of the most
extraordinary political changes witnessed in
this country and exhibit both the old factions re-
duced 10 a mere ump."

NEXT PREsrpENcy-IMPoRTANr LETTER FROM
Mr.. RIvEs.-Mr. Rives, of Virginia, has published
in the Richmond papers long letter hostile TO Mr..
Van Buren's election to the next Presidency 1t is
also said that letter in the same tune was to come
from Mr.. Calhoun. Really, it would seem that the
elements are again assembling for collision in the
shape Of prominent men, public meetings, and
small masses of the people all over the country.
The probability Is, that by the middle Of next sum-
mer, they will form such combinations as will de-
feat Mr.. Van Buren, second time. Indeed his
chances appear to be growing smaller and smaller
every day.

News FROM ENGLAND. EARLY yesterday, the Adj
rondack, from Liverpool, was announced below.
She advertised to leave that port on the 18th,
but probably did not sail till the 18th I4th ut.,
tour or five days later In consequence of violent
gale of wind, that blew all day and throughout last
night, we may not get any papers from her till tc-
day We hope that she has not been blown off,
Il is to be seen on reference TO the marine head,
that extraordinary large fleet of square-rigged
vessels anchored off the Hook when the gale came
on. Many of them, besides the Adirondack, may
have news. Oae, the Odln, brings ten to twenty
days later intelligence from Montevideo. 1t is ex-
pected that the western gale will blow of the coast
dozen or more Of these vessels.

Macready made his first appearance at Charles
ton last Monday, as Hamlet, 10 a large, fashionable
and intelligent audience. His Hamlet, says the
Southern Patriot, 'was beautiful and effective

action and classical reading, but by delicate dis
elimination and power over the passions that fully
realized this difficult porrature of the poee, OF
to which none but the most gifted performer can
give dramatic embodiment and truthful persona
