Hon. George w. Paschal.-This distinguished
jurist has created quite sensation in New Or.
leans this winter. 1t seems from tho folloMing
extract taken from lengthy commune alton
written over the signature Of "Missionary," which
appeared in the Weekly Tropic of the Both u,.,
that tho Judge thinks himself an eminent hpyer.
John Ridge was murdered in his bed, amidst
the screams of an accomplished wife, 1.-THE daugh.
ter of Mr.. Northrop, of Massachusetts, and sew.
en- promising children. Boudinot was killed at
Park HILL Missouri, whore he was engaged trans
latng the Scriptures, under the direction and pa v
fthe American Board of Foreign Missions. Ma
jor Ridge was. at the time, on his way to visit nm
accomplished daughter, and the wife of an emf.
nent lawyer, who yet resides at Van Burop. Ar.
kansas, and who is perhaps as we'll konwn in your
city as any man in our State. Major Ridge was
wayiald IN washington county, and shot, by
number OF the most prominent of the Ross party.
These murderers, see it stated in the Arkansas
intell'gencer'" have been indicted in the Circuit
S Loutt OF washington county, kansas, for this
horilu MURDER and that Ross IDS been indicted
as an accessory to the murder Publicity sbond
not have been given TO such a statement WI"
.ner IL DC true or FALSE is-of course secret with
the Grand Jury and the officers Of Court And
the publication of such statement is wall o,Io,
lated to defeat tho arrest of men who Ion, .;noo
received the pardon of Ross, and in conseoue nee
OF whose protest, protection and opposition the
OF Gon' Arbucke, in his attempts to
aries! Inc murderers, was eluded, at the time"
IL IS q remarkable fact that the Judge never
wro!e an article for a newspaper in his life with.
ou' oeins guilty OF selfPraise. Some of natures

Insurance upon Government specie during trans
portation.-The Secretary of War has decided
That no expense as insurance on specie transport.
ed for the payment of Indian annuites should be
paid by the United Suites. The agents of TINT
department are instructed not to insure the no.
ney that may be required to be transported. This
decision will put a stop to the steamboats, on the
western waters, of charging exorbitant prices for
the transportation of specie under the pretenco of
insurance. Tho idea is preposterous, that steam.
boats frequently Owners and ally not worth the
sixteenth of the amount of specie that the agents
frequently bring up this river, charge enormous
amounts under the ridiculous pretence of being
responsible for all money lost on board.
J. B. Perault, the defaul,ing cashier of the CT.
items Bank, New Orleans, has been a raigned

Unheard of in Arkansas.--A man not long
since had the folly to enter crowd at Pest OF.
flee in Charleston, S. c., ,cuh eighteen Hundred
dollars in has pocket, who had his pockets pic ked
OF the same. The commission in Arkansas, of
such Jolly and crime, are not upon record.
Murder and rapine pardoned.-An Iowa paper
says that Gov. Chambers has reprieved one of the
indians convicted of the murder of the Teca rdep
family. This is one that the little girl saws was
the first to commit the brutal outrage upon her,
and is undoubtedly as vile wretch as ever dis
