port, Louisiana, on the LIST inst, having cast some
water melons into a well his residence for the
purpose OF cooling them fanced on reflection that
the water was rendered foul by it, and sent negro
down to inspect and clean it. The negro fell out of
the bucket in descending and his master, MIR. b Sc
Nor, hurried down to his assis ance when awf full to
relate he also precIpitated into the water. They
were both drowned. 1t appears that the well was
indeed foul but it was from the accumulation Of me-
ph',ic vapor, which alternately overpowered both.

The editor of the Ohio Statesman says
he has been shown 8 letter from Gen
Cass, which does tina, gentleman great
credit indeed. He is not only not con-
nected with any of the disOrganizing
movements going on, and some Of them
pretending TO be in his name, but he most
'hOnOrably discountences any thing that

1t is most honorable, we repeat, to Gen.

and elected Ebsn Newton, President
Judge OF the Ord Circuit; John Pearce,
President Judge Of the 5th circuit; and a
number Of associate Judges. On The I'd
instant they elected Samuel Galloway Of
ChillicOthe (formefly Of HiIlsboroush,)
Secretary OF State; Myron H. Tilden
President Judge orthe 18th Judicial Cir
cult, John Eckman and Philip W. Spar
ger associate Judges for Highland cOun,
ty, John Beatty and Thos. Sheldon as
sociatO Judges for Clermont county; and
number Of associate Judges for other
counties. All those elected We are in
formed are federalists, and were nomina-
ted in caucusses by the federal members
ofthe Legislature. There were other
good and capable candidates for most Of
these offices, but as they we're demo-
Gratis, they we're defeated by the federal
majority. These facts show how utter
Iy hollow and hypocritical are the federal
professions that we frequently hear Of
opposition to caucesses and Pariysm.
