was considered mere matter of dollars and
cents.
On the 25th of May, one week after his ejec'
ton, DR.. Muller addresses a letter to bis former
pupil, beseeching her TO intercede with her pa
rents in his behalf, and begs TO be allowed to
come back to the house. He commences in the
language of entreaty, but ends with threat
that if she refuses to intercede, or is unsuccess-
full with her parents. he will write to them,
avowing her and his ''gult," &c.--decaring a
restoration to his old quarters to be his ultima
tum. This letter was not replied to, but was
handed by Mary to her parents. On the 2Sth,
three days after, Muller carries out bis threat
and writes to Mr., N. He, in this COM
munication, gives all the details Of his infamy,
and exultingly sets forth the most loathsome
particulars Of the seduction of his late hosts
''daughter Mary" That the parents might
have other evidence of their child's shame be-
sides his own confession, he reminds the moth
err of various incidents and circumstances,
which will convince her ofthe truth of his state
ment; and exultngly assures them that it is in
his polrer to disgrace them, their daughter, and
the Church, and that they might, of their own
knowledge, be sure Of this, he gives as the reason
for the deliberate array of corroboratng facts
set forth in bis communication. "But," he
proceeds, all this unpleasant issue can be avoid
ed by closing with proposition he then makes
viz:-"PeTmit him to return to the house. ~
He reminds them that the secret thus far is in
their mutual keeping-and, if a compromise is
made, the most happy consequences must ensue,
to wit, domestic quiet, unbemshed reputation,
&c. SIC. The Church, too, will escape scandal
he says, and, as to their daughter, he offers
contract of marriage" to make her happy and
respectable. Should they, nevertheless, refuse
his proposition, he announces determination
to proclaim their disgrace and the shame of
their daughter; that cater Whit-Sunday" he
shall cease officiating in the services of the al
tar, and shall give up trying to collect money
to pay off the Church debt!
These letters have read, and being we'll ac-
quainted with Muller's hand writing, know
them to be genuine. felt sick as perused
them. There cannot be parallel to them in
all the literature of the brothel. They exhibit
cool, haunting, cruel, audacious, diaboical
and mean william.
These letters were promptly handed over to
the Church Council, land an investigation began.
Muller fled TO Baltimore, where believe he
remains, Gearing" as he says in one of his
late letters to gentleman here, "that the peo-
pie were seeking for him. he rouses one Of his
Pensioners on Sunday morning, the 7th inst.
at O'Clock, deplores the misrepresentation
afoat against him. begs ten dollars, hastens to
the cars and flies from prosecution!
From Baltimore he writes scores of letters
to sundry individuals here, denies ever hav-
ing written such ''letter as described" to Mr.
N; pleads the impossibility of "any but
demon writing such a communication to
father;" announces that he has been "insane"
on this subject for the last six months or year
that there will be n quarters salary due TO him
from the congregation in July next, that our
Lord said to the woman, eco and sin no
more!" that he fears nevertheless, the members
of his dear congregation, to whom he has so
often broken the bread of life, will deny him
the Christian charity extended by our Saviour
to his enemes begs them to remember that he
is now destitute, and needs some memorial of
their former Kindness that he deplores Mr..
| Ms ignorance of the world, which has
brought this ruin upon his daughter and the
Church, sc. To carry out the trick of insani
| ty, he had himself taken to the Insane Asylum
at Baltimore, whence he was discharged in
two days. DIR. Fisher, the physician Of the
Hospital, certilies, on enquiry made, that Null
Ter was suffering 'good deal under nervous
excitement" but that there were no symptoms
of insanity in his case. So soon as he re-
covers from his insanity, for which recovery he
very devoutly thanks God, he resumes his pen,
and deuges Washington with complaining
missives. have seen about twenty of these
precious exercises in composition | do not
remember one of them in which he does not
deprecate starvaton-and he seems to appre-
bend, moreover, that Mr.. N may ''be
cruel enough to institute legal proceedings!"-
But will hasten to conclude this chronicle
There is no redeeming trait in his character
none ofthe interesting rascalty of Paul Cliff
ford, none even Of the gallows heroism of Dick
Turpin. A hypocritcal coward, he stole the

There seemed to be some eXtenutory qualif-
cation to his crime in his offer Of a contract of
marriage with his victim, who completed her
l4th year only last month! But it has been
ascertained that he is married man, and that
his wife and family were, al the last accounts,

At Tuscaloosa, Ala, also, he was likewise APP
precated. Being charged with his existing
marriage, he soon after writes to gentleman
here to take charge of any letters directed to
him at this city. He desires them to be taken
out, for he tells him there will be enclosed to
him a copy of Decree of Divorce by the
Chancery Court Of Maryland. Ia answer to
this, inform you that there lies before me a
letter from the Auditor of tho Chancery Court
of Maryland, dated the goth inst, replying
that no such bill has ever been filed in said
| Court, and of course no decree could have
been made in the matter with a. A. Muller.
The career this Individuals now, hope,
about to close. The laws of this District utter
no reproof against the seducer. The common
law, however, which has ga redress for every
wrong" magnanimously offers an action on
the case for damages
