From the CheroEee .4dD0cale. MOST HORRID MURDERl

On Tuesday night, 18th ulto, between the hours of and o'clock band of brutal and dastardly aSsaSsins entered the house of MT. Charles Thornton, near the Arkansas river, in Illinois district, and most cruelty murdered him while alone and in bed, by shooting him four times, innicting upon him seventeen stabs and cutting his throat from ear to ear. The perpetrators of this internal deed are Tom Sarr and Elias Starr, for whose apprehension and delivery to the authorities of this Nation Is offered a reward of one thousand dollars each and their associates
 The cause of this murder may be found in the fact that Mir Thornton was one oi the company ofCherokees who recently pursued, wounded and made prisoner, the late noto- rious Bean Sarr Mr. Thornton bore the reputation of brave and honest man. He was one of the signers of the Act of Union in lS40, on the part of that portion ot the s.Old Setlers,n who dssented from that en- tered into in 1887. between the '' Emgrant Cherokees" and the old Settlers,7 and serv- ed one session in 1S40, as member of the Council. When murdered he was alone, his wife having gone on a visit to their children who were attending school few miles from home. The circumstances attending this out rage, properly to characterize which we can not command language, have created the deep est feeling, and the officers are out endeavor- ing to find and bring to justice the perPetra- tors. They have made several arrests, among whom arc Elias Phillips and Dick Rogers and two women; Jimmy, Peter, and Betsy Thornton, the widow of the deceased's bro- ther, who are charged with being accessory to the murder, and one of whom has made important confessions.

PUBLIC DEBT OF PENNSYLVANIA.

We clip the following from the Democratic Union The measure was urged upon the Legislature of Pa, by special message of Governor Shunk, who is proving himself an efficient officer:
 THE INTEREST BILL PASSED.
 After protracted and animated discussion, the bill providing for the payment of the Feb ruary instalment of interest on our funded debt, has passed both branches by unani- nous vote. To the public at distance, who have not had the means of surveying the whole field of debate, 1t may have seemed that some diversity of opinion existed as to the duty of the State to meet her honest engage ments. But nothing can be further removed from the truth. The only source of conten- ton has been from the beginning, as to the best mode of securing permanent resumption of interest payments. Numerous projects, differing in character, were hence proposed to the consideration of the Legislature, and naturally elicited contrariety of expression. But we will do all the justice to say, that the only ground of difference has been, what measures would best secure the end which every true friend of Pennsylvania cannot but cherish as consummatlon devoutly to be wished''-viz: the permanent restoration of her pighted faith.
 The Legislature, it will be perceived, has at length decided to apply the full resources of the Treasury to the liquidation of the in- stalment of interest NOW DUE, leaving pros pectiye demands to be met by increased en- ergy and perseverance. We hail this as a most sound, patriotic and equitable decision, It reflects infinite credit upon our ancient commonwealth, and proves to the world that repudiation, even in it's mildest sense, has gained no loothold here. We now possess The means to make at least bold commence ment in the great work of extending justice to our creditors, and we have afforded lncon- trovertible proof that we. are not disgraced by lack of aciH The taxpayers of the State have long and patiently submitted to the most oppressive burthens. They have poured their substance lavishlv as water into the public cofers. They have hitherto com plained that those eXactions have not been applied to the purposes for which they were ostensibly collected. Such complaints, we are grathed 10 state, must henceiorth forever cease. The bill just passed by the unanimous vote of both houses, and the prompt concur renee of the State Executive, affords convlnc- ing testimony to our own citizens, that the tribute annually exacted from their earnings Is sure to meet with a just and honest des- tiny. It assures them, more than any othel act could have done, that it is neither squan dered in works of unquestonable utility, no diverted to channels of expenditure iorelgr lo their own sovereign purpose. To on European creditors, the Sydney Smiths ant l London Punches, who have levelled thei paper batteries at us from beyond the Allan tic, il will shew, that they neither understand nor appreciate the true character of our people

THE PRICE OF COTTON

we have heretofore endeavored to ascer- tam the real causes of the unprecedented low prices oi cotton. We have supposed that the increased quantity raised may be one cause of the low prlce-and probably the impression that the present crop was unusually abundant has had strong influence in fixing the price al low point. The immence losses sus- talned last year by cotton speculators has doubtless induced them this season to hold back and buy only atreduced prices. In ad- dlIlon to these causes we have confidently referred to the operation of the present tariff law as palpably injurious to the price of cot ton
 It IS now probable that the estimates of the present cotton crop, on which the low prices have been based, have been entirely too high. he estimates have varied from 2,300,000 to 2,o00,OOO bales. We think 1t entirely pro- bable that these estimates are all too high. C see the speculatons of a Mobile commis- slon merchant on this subject which are in- teresting. He says:
 Il have heard several commission mer- chants lately say, they know ten planters who have made Jess cotton this past year, to one that has made as much as in the year before. Some say they don't know one in hundred, that with all their additional force and land, have made as much. This looks as if we should not receive as much at this port as we dld last year; and the intelligent and can dld editor of the Concordia Inteligencer of Louisiana says, the receipts at New Orleans. alter the lst of January instant. will fall of more than in the same time of any previous year. We all know, that in addition to dis asters in Red river last spring, similar to those which destroyed their crops the year previ- ous. the immense losses by the overflow of the Mississippi the past summer amounted, by careful examination, to as much as 140,000 bales.
 ''l think an estimate of 100000 bales from the whole country a full one, and if at this time, 24O, 176 bales of cotton more has been exported than had been last year, (which will be found to be the fact on reference to the Price Current of 18th inst.) this amount, 240,l76 bales less will be shipped abroad during the remainder of the season. If this be so, freights are immensely too high, and we may expect them down and buyers of cotton ought to make them so, to lower point than they were at last season, 44c. 3-8d.
 "These remarks make, and if there is any undoubted reason to suppose me wrong, l should be pleased 10 hear upon what data 1t can be shown to be so.'
 If this estimate is near the mark, it is man. ilest that cotton ought to bear better price. It is probable that the discovery made in Liverpool that the estimates made for our cot ton crop were too high, has caused the rise in price which will be found noticed under our commercial head.-Na&h Union

DEPARTURE OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT
 FOR WASHINGTON CITY.

The President Elect, accompanied by his wife and private secretary, Mir. Walker, left Columbia on Tuesday last for Washington city. 4 large number of MT. Folks neigh bors and friends were in Columbia to take an aflectionate leave of the President Elect of the Nation. It was all affecting scene. He was surrounded by the companions of his youth, the sons of his early friends, and the gray-headed pioneers of the country, who had aided in elevating him through the seve- ral offices to which he had been from time to time elected, until he has finally reached the highest position known to the govern ment.
 As Mr. Polk approached the town of Frank lin, on Tuesday evening, he was met by number of friends, who escorted him to the residence of Christopher McEwen, Esq.,, where he remained until Wednesday morning He arrived at Nashville on Wednesday,, where he remained, receiving the visits of our citi- zens, until Thursday evening, when he yis- lied the Hermitage, and spent the night with Gen. Jackson. On Friday morning he took leave of the old Hero, and in view of the probability that 1t was the last time he will see that venerable old patriot, it may well be imagined that the parting scene was deeply
 interesting.
 Mir Polk returned to Nashville on Friday morning and remained at he Inn, surrounded by crowds of visitors, until Saturday morn ing, when he left in the steamer China for Washington. A large number of our citizens accompanied him to the wharf and there took leave of him. He left in company with number of friends who will attend him to Washington, bearing with him the sincere prayers of thousands for his safety whilst on his journey, and for his successful adminis- tration of the government He will stop at CIarksrIle a few hours, and at Louisville and at Cincinnati short time-but his wish Is to reach Washington with as little delay as possible. .NashoiHe Union.
