Epes, he Murderer, respected n haeing h'led
his otca son, has mother IN laao, and also q
hentackg drorsr.
The Richmond Republican says. since the
fact has been established beyond the shadow
OF doubt. that EPEs, who is now al large, is
guilty Of numbering r. ApoLPuus NUN, late
of Dlnwiddie County, he has also been strong
IL suspected Of having caused the death ofsev-
eral other persons in the same Coun'y--and
among the number, his own son and the mo-
ther or mothet-in-law of Mrs EPEs.
A few years since an elderly lady---then, an
inmate if we understand correctly, OF EpEs'
house-was taken suddenly i'll and died. At
the death Of this lady, il seems, large estate
was likely 10 fall into the hands of ErEs. as
guardian of his children. who We're to be heirs
Of their deceased relative During the brief
sickness Of the lady, EpEs was known TO have
administered dose Of medicine or something
which he professed would give relief TO her.
The dose had been given but short time,
when she continued to grow worse. and soon
expired. Nothing was thought at the time. OF
the sudden death of the lady--her friends not
dreaming for moment that she had been un-
fairly dealt with tits only since the develope
men,s in the MuiR case, that suspicion has
been excited towards ErEs, IN regard TO her
death
Ii has been only few years, too. since q
son OF Els was killed, as reported at the time
Of his DEATH by the accidental discharge OF his
gun while he and his father, w. DAspRipoE
EpEs, were out hunting. The account OF
Young EpEs' death, from the lips Of his own
father, being so plausible a; the time, no one
of course suspected foul play; but now it
seems that the son was heir 10 some property
which the father wishedto get into his own pos
session. Thi, circumstance taken IN connection
with others, leaves very little doubt that EpEs
is the murderer Of his own son. Nor does this
end the chapter of his crimes
He is now suspected Of having murdered .
Drover who has neither been seen nor heard
from since he was known TO have gone TO
EpEs' house, to collect of E. money for num-
Der Of hogs sold. This has been several years
ago, and, as pretty good evidence Of snspi.
con being properly attached TO EpEs for dspo-
sing of the Kentucky drover, the skeleton OF a
grown person was lately, within week or
SO, we believe, found IN an Ice House on the
Farm upon which ErEs formerly resided.

men DUTIES ron THE wings.

The Washington correspondent OF the Balt-
more Patriot closes an interesting letter with
the following remarks. which we give TO our
readers u. s. Gazette.
On the great protective principle let the
Wing party make issue with its opponent, the
Locoioco or dominant party--let the people
decide upon the merits OF the case--and by its
merits. with a proper champion and standard
bearer, let the Wing party rise OF fall
say it fearlessly and boldly, there are not
one hundred Wings in the Union who would
not rather see HENRY CLAY, the noble-souled
patriot and generous Kentucky statesman.--
God bless him elected President, than any
other man throughout the whole length and
breadth Of the Republic; but, still, if he cannot
or will not consent 10 be again a candidate, the
Wings everywhere, South, North, West and
East, should resolve as one man to bury all
sectional feelings, all ancient grudges and jea-
lousies, all striies Of every kind, and unite cor
daily, heartily and patrioticatty, for the sake
Of our country and il glorious Institutions, up
on that great statesman who can be elected
For one, allow me to say, | believe HENRY
CLAY, ''the noblest Roman Of them all, !" can
be triumphantly elected over any candidate, or
all candidates the Locotocos can bring into the
field. | believe the hour approaches for his
dyed democrats who earnestly say TO me,
now bring out the old and tined war horse,
Harry Of the West" the friend Of American
industry, the man every body always knows
where 10 find. and we viii cordially and hear
ty support himl This language is uttered to
me often by substantial men who have never
yet east Wing vote And it is the language
this day Of the great mass Of the intelligent
fIeemen OK this great nation.
But Mr.. CLAY may not be prevailed upon to
become a candidate in the next campaign, and
he and the other leading men of our party
may prefer, unite upon and put into nominal
ton some one else--and if so, ought we not,
to man, to rally around to support cordially
and energetcally the nominee Who, what
true Wing, viii say .Nos Who viii say, let
us stand BY our prejudices, and our sectional
feelings, even at the risk Of defeating our party,
and suffering the country and us institutions
to 20 to Locoioco destruction Too much at
tention Cannot be paid to these things Tor thar
are vitality important POTOMAC.

FROM THE BALTIMORE PATRIOT.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Can man commit an offence against the
laws of a State, whilst personally out OF its ju-
risdiction, for which he may be held to answer
by that State This question has come up
before the Courts of several States, and gener-
ally been decided in the negative. An Affirm
alive decision has recently been given in the
Supreme Cour, of New York. which, If con-
tirmed BY the Court of Errors, and thus be-
come the law Of the State, will have very
important hearing upon the criminal jurlspru-
dence OF the State.
The case before the Court was that Of SAM
UEL ADAMS, of Ohio, who has been indicted
for obtaining money or goods by false preten-
ces. from Messrs. SuYDAM, SAGE s. Co, Of New
York. The facts in the case, as far as we rec
opect them, were that Mr.. ADAMS, residing In
Ohio. had, by letters and other papers sent TO
Messrs. SUDAN s. Co, obtained from them
certain moneys or goods, which were forwar-
ded 10 him in Ohio. His representations IN
the letters and papers were afterwards discov-
cred to be false, and he was indicted IN New
York city. A requisitoa from the Governor
of New York was obtained, and he was ares
ted by warrant in Ohio, and, by order OF the
Governor of that State, was gwen up. An at
tempt was made, by writ OF habeas corpus,
to have the legality ofthe arrest tested In Ohio,
but in some way it was eyaded, and ADAMS
was taken to New York.
On his trial the question was made before
the Court of Sessions, whether, not having
been. at the time of the alleged offence, with
in the jurisdiction of New York, and not there
fore liable to even temporary allegiance TO
that commonwealth, ADAMS could be held TO
answer ON the criminal charge2
The Court decided that he could not, they
having no jurisdiction in the case. An APP
neal was taken from this decision to the SUI
preme Court. A civil suit for debt was then
Instituted against ADAMS, and bail demanded
for his appearance. Il was here objected n una.
as he had been brought into, the State Of NeW ~
York Illegally, by force and against ms @m,
advantage could not be taken OF his presence
there, to hold him under clyll any more li Ia
criminal writ, for matters thai happened oe-

BY HENRY w. LoNGFELLOW.
Maiden with the meek brown eyes,
In whose obs a shadow lies,
Like the dusk in the evening skies
Thou whose looks outshine the sun,
Golden tresses wreathed in one,
AS the braided streamlets run!
Standing with reluctaHt feet,
Where the brook and river meet
Womanhood and childhood fleet
Gazing with a timid glance
On the brooklel's swift advance,
On the rivers broad e1pansel
Deep and still, that gliding stream
Beautiful TO thee must seem,
As the river OF a dream.
Then why pause with indecision,
When bright angels in thy vision,
Beckon thee to fields Elysian2
See'st thou shadows sailing by,
As the dove with startled eve,
Sees the falcons shadow hy2
Hearst thou voices on the shore,
That our ears perceive no more,
Deafened by the cataracPs roar1
o! thou child of many prayers!
Life hath quicksands-lif hath snares f!
Care and age come unawares
Like the swell Of some sweet tune,
Morning rise, into noon,
May giidss onward into June.
Childhood Is the bough where slumbered
Birds and blossoms. many numbered;
Age, that bough with snow encountered.
Gather, then, each flower that grows,
When the young heart overfiows,
To embalm that tent OF SHOWS.
Bear lily in thy hand
Gates of brass cannot Withstand
One touch of that magic wand.
Bear through sorrow, wrong and ruth,
In thy heart the dew Of youth,
On thy lips the smile of truth.
o, that dew like balm shall steal
Into wounds that cannot heal,
Even as sleep our eyes doth seal.
And that smile, like sunshine, dart
Into many a sunless heart,
For smile of God thou art.

To-day, If troubles cloud but low'r,
