LATE MURDER AT MANcHEsTER.-We are re-
uuested to state that the knife and razor with
which the murder of Mr. Parker was effected are
in the possession of Mr.. J. M. Rowell, Esq Cor
oner, and can be examined at his office. Per
haps some one who may have lost them will be
able to identify them, and by that means furnish
clue to the detection of the murderer, We
will also state that the footprints made by him
indicate that he wore pair Of right-and-left
boots. Pie tracks are middling sized Mr..
Parker had, within a few days, taken nearly
$4,000 for two sales of real estate, but the ex-
act amount contained in his pocket-book, which
was taken, is not now known. Mr.. P's head
was nearly severed from his body, leaving only
about four inches of the inside of the neck I'M
cut.-Manchester American.

PRO-SLAvERv MINISTER'S say they are as much
opposed to slavery as are, but they are opposed
to our measures. So they cunningly shift the
question from slavery to measures five condemn
them for not agreeing with our measures, then they
say, You set up for infallibty, and want TO kill
all who do not believe just as you do "Here they
have entreuched themselves, and while they can
play their game, the popular feeling will be much
on their side" Thus writes correspondent. He
adds, " Put your enemy in the wrong" is good
maxim, and inquiries, " How can we do it," Sure
enough, reply. If their reasoning is logical, they
have US on the hip Ills we that are in the wrong,
and we are Justly chOrgeable with "claimlng nfal
Ibility," and also with ''kiing all who do not be-
leve as we do" But the wrong is in allowing
them to "shift the question: The question is,
"Will you Northern Christians disfeowshp pro-
slavery ministers and churches by declaring slave
ny to be a moral evil, and as such. Withdrawing
from all who, after gospel admonlton, refuse or
neglect to dscountenance it?' Now, What haUe
OUR measures TO do With THEIR duty? Will they
treat man-stealing rs they do money-stealng, and
labor untiringly to set the public mind right upon
this subject? Until they do, abOlltionsts ought TO
look upon their occasional prayers for the slave at
the monthly concert, and their possible illusions to
slavery on Fast days, mere fiaterng compli-
ments, paid to their abolition supporters-op iates
to abolition nerves. Let US keep the question glow
ing before their eyes. Ministers manage this ques-
don; let them be held responsible. little self
sacrifice on their part would soon elevate the stan
dard. Show me decided abolition pastor, who
has not an anti-slavery church around him, and SO
vica versa. They have had long time to consd-
er this question; for fifteen years it has been
santly pressing upon them. And noao it returns to
us, urged on by the woes of three million slaves
waited by the breath of God. 1t is, "Ought we
to fellowship them any onger3" Are we to cher
ish their cold hearts and hold up their bloody skirts
any longer? If the ''truth of God" is on our side,
let us step boldly out planted on its sure founda-
ton; and if in SO doing, we 'kiIl all who do not a.
gree with u.s., GoD will be their destroyer and not
us. May their "wood, hay and stumble be burned
up-yot their souls be saved, though as by fire."

Passengers L0st or Missing.

The following are the lost and missing, AS far as
ascortaned.
Missing Mrs. Conklin Miss Coffin of Troy; Mrs.
ellison and two young ladies from Albany whose
brother was at the wreck anxiously searching for
their bodies; Mrs. Walker, of New York; Mrs.
Lambert.
Bodies found-Six bodies were found on the
main deck, between the captains Office and the
ladies cabin, viZ:-two Misses Wood and Miss
Coffin, of Troy; one gentleman, and lady flames
unknown; a middle aged woman, apparently ma
tive of ireland; two moro bodies were picked up
near Hudson; Mrs. Cotton and Miss Briggs, Mil
liner, both of Troy, and one lady with thimbe in
her pocket, having the initials w. M. c., we've
found at the wreck.
One of the bodies found on Thursday, was that
of Miss Ann Torrey of Naples Ontario county,
who was on her way to Pottsville, to take charge
Of an academy. The other was Miss Parker OF
Utica. During the examination by the coroner
over the body Of Miss P. her brother was present
and almost beside himself with sorrow, and he
could hardly be restrained. He called loudly up.
on the coroner and jury to bring in verdict o
MURDER against the pilot of the boat.
The Albany Advertiser questions what is said
about the GOODNESS of the captain, and asks,
Why was not the roof of the state rooms strip
ped off before the Rochester or Express left the
wreck? There were persons in the state yooms-
bodies found in the state rooms-but not unit
twenty four hours had elapsed. Is this the con
duct of one collected and self-possessed!--W
think not.
1t is untrue, totally untrue, that the Swallow wa
running slowly. She was running, and blowing
off steam while running. She was running st
fast that even the Rochester, who was in her wake
oyershot her about mile before she could brn!
up, and then only by the aid of an anchor. Ca
there he any doubt of the speed al which she wa
running, when we state that the Swallow was ru

your error of the balance due to Inc up to June

hope, when those who are able and willing to
plead the cause of the poor oppressed, to rouse
the consciences of slave breeders and holders and
dealers, and their servie allies in the north to re-
pent of their evil deeds, and so save their guilty
selves from eternal death, and to preserve their

SOUTHERN TRADE-We despair of saving
the North from the periodical drainage of its
capital to make good the deGalcations of the
South, so long as slavery continues; because
each commercial revulSion brings upa new
set of merchants, who have to learn their
wit only by experience, because it wouldn' t
do to take an anti-slavery paper. The
New York Express says
"A failure to large amount was amour

cunt, which has since been satisfactorily

misfortune is that their goods either remain
msold in the southern market, or that those
sold have not been paid for Other houses
