EPPEs, THE MURDERER.

According to III, Richmond Republican
circumstances have become known since
the escape of Eppes, establishing his guilt of
the murder of Muir, beyond doubt. Strong
suspicious are also entertained among his
neighbors. of his having previously murdered
at least three other persons! Flirt, his own
son while hunting, which he declared the re-
suit of an accidental discharge of gun
Second, his wife's mother, by poison admin
istered 10 her as medicine, on sick bed
Third, drover from Kentucky, traced 10 Ep-
pes house, and never since heard of BY
the son and mother-in-law, he becamed pos
sessed of propery, in which they had a life
estate.

ue Hd6itudT iduuatiOn OF MT. Polk, II
the Washington Union, even 10 the most i'm
material of his Sayings and doings," has
drawn from the Louisville Journal the fol
lowing extended formula, to be observed by
the Court Journal in future notices of the
occupant of the While House:
Mr.. PoLK's COLLEGE L4FE.-The Govern
ment editor, referring 10 this very interest
ing period of Mr.. Folks life, says:
1t is said, and we believe upon reliable
authority, that when at college he never
failed to attend single recitation, or TO per-
form any other duty required of him.
AS Mr.. Riches information, touching
Mr. Folks history willie he was at college,
is SO very meagre we will take occasion to
refer him to some other incidents which oc-
Cured at that time, that strikingly illustrate
the grandeur of the man, and which will, we
have no doubt, greatly delight the Govern
ment editor. "lt is said, aad we believe up
on reliable authority" that, when Mr.. Polk
was al college, be was in the habit of retir-
ing to bed when he felt sleepy, virtue.
which he has ever since scrupulously MAIN
tanned. Whenever he had dreadful bad
cold in the head he was occasionally seen
10 place his right hand in his coat pocket,
and TO draw lherefrom a handsome flag
handkerchief, which he would deliberately
convey 10 his nose, and then shutting both
eyes, he would emit sounds which seemed
like remote imitation of trumpet. He
was never guilty of the sad Improperly of
plunging his-legs into his coat sleeves, or OF
buuoning OH his waiscoat bellyside behind,
but, on the contrary, he invariably dressed
himself with becoming gravity, always put
ting on his stockings before he placed his
feet in his boots, and pulling on his panta-
looms before he put on his coat. He was ad.
dicted to eating when he grew hungry, and
many corn-d odgcr, after being we'll butter
ed and duly masticated, descended TO his
stomach and performed good service to-
wards nourshing the physical man and en-
abling him to undergo his studies without
distress of body or mind. When his beard
became very stubby, he called for warm
water, with which, aided by brush and soap,
he contrlved to make laiher, and rubbing
it on his chin, he took up his razor, and
looking at the lathered reflection of himself
in mirror, he commenced the manly BUSH
ness of shaving himself to the great en-
hancement of his pc rsonal beauty. Not be-
ing afflicted with left-hindedness, he held
his book right side up whenever he wished
to peruse the published thoughts of great
men. At The time that the news of the war
waged for Stree trade and sailors rghtsn
reached the college, several of his fellow
having more patriotism than dsvo-
lion TO literature, threw aside their books
and marched off to the battle field, while
Mr.. Polk very juciciously put his books UNI
der his arm and marched off TO his home
"Where rumor of oppression and deceit,
OF unsuccessful and successful war"
could not pain his ear, and there he accu-
nulaed much OF that knowledge which has
yarnshed the delightful essays and docu-
nenis that have since emanated from his
brilliant pen.

tion. how this is 10 be accomplished and the
winter season coming on in our Cult, is sim
ply answered thus: Let the heads OF Depart
ments employ experienced Americans who
know the dangers of the Gulf of Mexico, Its
bars. rivers and ports, aud its language, and
fit out proper transports to conduct our brave
hearts to fight their country's cause, when
will land them in safety-insiead employing
a parcel of hat-boats and dug-outs such as
our officers have been chartering, and mus
rsking their own valuable lives and destroy
ing the Government property. The money
that has already been expended IN this wal
was sufficient 10 have whipped Mexico hal
dozen times.
..The war with Mexico is not yet begun
1t will cost our Government great deal O
trouble and money, and, after all. what do we
gain? A bankrupt country, with three mil
lions of whites and five millions Of stark-nak
ed Indians to support, as we are now doint
for Texas, that owes all the world and ha
not one cent 10 pay her creditors--nor eve
will have. Yes, there is another way TO con
quer Mexico. Let our Government Civ
our generals courte 6Ianhce 10 dra'
on them. will guaranty that in that cas-
every Mexican officer will surrender, as Gen
Vega did, and take passage for the Unite
States, and there remain as long as he has
banker to supply him with money aud
passport 10 rove over the county"

OF Our readers are no doubt aware that
General GAINS has been discharged
by the Court of Enquiry. We now learn
that he has been assigned TO the compand
of the Eastern Division. The Portsmouth
paper say:
We feel high sense of qualification in an
nouncing that late on Saturday ev6ifing this
distinguished officer received, through the
Adiutant Generals Office at Washington, his
order from the proper Department TO take
command of the Eastern Division, fixing his
headquarters either at New York ,Philadel-
phia or Troy. He'has selected New York
ar the most important point, and yesterday
afternoon, the very first conveyance that left,
the Osceola, after his orders were received,
found Gen. Gains on his route to duty.
We believe it would have been more a
greeble to him 10 have been ordered back ia
the Western Division where he might have
completed his plans of defence ofthe Mis-
sissppi river, bat he.says it is the duty ofthe
soldier TO obey orders, moi question them,
and we took leave Of him, with the proudcon
scousness that we were in the presence of
brave and ready pltfiot aud soldier, whose
only object is 10 serve his county, and pre-
serve unsullied his honor and his fame.

A NOBLE SOLDIER

MAJOR Love, of the Ohio Volunteers, writ
ing home, relates the following incident of
Captain Patterson, of Belmonte County,
Ohio.
: We have Capt. John Patterson in our reg
iment, from Belmonte county, who is as
noble man as ever lived. He is is a neph-
ew ofJohn Patterson of Morgan county, and
a cousin to Joseph McConEell's wife. Capt.
Patterson was loo sick to travel, and was left
at New Orleans. He started few days af-
forwards on board small vessel, in company
with some of the Indiana troops The yes
sci was cast ashore on Padre Island, and all
expected 10 be lost, as they had nothing but
a small boat 10 go on shore with. The boat
was lowered but they could not take but
few in, and even they were in dangerous
situation. Patterson was getting in the boat
when one of the Captains of ore of the
Indiana companies addressed him thus: .Cap-
tain, il you get on shore safe, you will inform
my family of my death and how it came a.
bout" Patterson Immediately asked him if
he had family; he replied he had. Patter-
son told him that he was a single man, and
Immediately got out of the boat and made
the Indiana captain take his place, remark
ing that he would stay and sink with the
vessel; as he had no wife and children to
mourn hissloss. Fortunately, however, the
storm abated; they raised flag OF distress:
a revenue cutter went TO their aid and all was
saved. The vessel is still upon the, bar
suppose a total loss
