The SUFFERINGs A SoLDIER---The ST. Louis
Republican has an account Of the march of COM
pany oftroops from Fort Saeling to ST, Louis, that
will be read with interest. The Republican says
the movements Of these troops in winter was ex-

of all who read the story Of their sufferings.

MURDER AT NEWBURY.

The Caledonian gives the following account
OF the murder:
Feuds have long existed between the two
clans Of laborers-the Cork men, and the
Connausht men. and OH The night Of the Dist
inst, large party Of the latter assembled. &
went in body 10 the shanties OF The Cork
men, threatening their lives and attempting
to break in upon them. They were deferred
from doing SO by the fact that the Cork men
had fire arms, but on retiring they gave them
TO understand that in one week they would
return, and that blood should he shed.
On Monday, 22d-Kely with Mr. Kent,
the Sheriff, proceeded to arrest several Of the
rioters who were recognized by Kelly the night
before. They succeeded in arresting three
whom they took to the village of Ncwbury, land

On entering the shaniy at the south end Of
Ingalls, Hill. Kelley pointed ont fellow by
the name of Patrick Gallagher, as one named
in the warrant. and Sheriff Kent arrested him.
He followed The Sheriff of, when gang

shanty, commencing threatening Kelley and
the Sheriff, brandishiug clubs and other wea-
pons-one of them having gun and another
pistol Kelly repeated backw ards, the mob
pushing upon him. when after advancing
some two rods he was shot through tho neck
and Instantly killed.

pistol. bur was held back by a comrade,
when the Sheriff mounted his horse and esca-

The body of Kelley was robbed of his
watch and his pistol, and probably of his
money.
The murderer is unknown. Gallagher,
with two or three others fed before force
could be raised 10 arrest them, and all the To-
mates Of the shanties refuse to furnish iufor
nation which will lead to their detection.
Several arrest have been made. out the clan

RAILROADS.

As the legislation terminated in the Yer
mont Legislature, the right is granted TO build
bridge from Alburgh across to main land,
and then continue the road OH the Vermont
side TO Buringtou;-but no right is granted
to bridge the main channel OF the Lake to S..
johns. If preferable, the company have the
right to pass over " hat is called the sand bar
TO Grand Isle; but if continued up North,
three bridges would have to be built TO reach
Albnrgh, and then the Lake would have to be
passed by ferry. The company will most
probably go up the North side Of the Lake,
and cross the intent to Alburgh; but after all
we are apprehensive the main travel will be
be water direct from Platrsburgh to Burling-
ton. which will occupy about one hour. The
Lake is sometimes navigsble through the
winter.

FROM THE ARMY.

1t will be seen BY the following letter that
very serious charges have been made against
Santa Anna by his own Government. 1t is
true that Gen. Quitmsn found the city in pos
session of The convicts.
MEXICO, Oct, II, SAY.
a most strange state Of things exist in re-
gard TO Santa Anna. He has been ordered
for trial before court martial upon charges
of the most henous character il is not on

city on the night ofthe 18th Of Sept. last, with
his army in most cowardly manner, leaving
he city without protection; but that previous
to his leaving, he robbed the treasury de-
partment Of all bonds and every species Of a
valuable means. And TO cast of all suspicion
from himself, he. then ordered that the prison
of the Accordada be opened and its convicis
let loose upon this community. This was
done. And on Gen. QuiIman's entering the
main plaza, the Palace was found filled with
these convicted felons. who were committing
every species of depreciation and destruction,
norsonly upon The public records, bnt the fur
niture aud other property in aud about this
immense edifice. The Hall OF the House of
Representatives was entered by them, its
chandeliers broken in a thousand pieces, the
rich tapestry torn from the windows and
sirewed about the floor, aud The residue the
splendid furniture mutilated, if not entirely
destroyed.

PLANK Roam FROM SARATOGA TO SHESEc-
TADr.-It is proposed to blild Plank Road from
Schenectady to. Saratoga Springs. One object in
its construction is to give the farmers an easy.
cheap and expeditions mode of conveyance for
their produce to market during all seasons of the
year. The road, if built, will pass through a
very level district of country and Tricky settled.
Several lateral roads, reaching into sections a.
bounding in timber and other valuable products,
such as lime, charcoal, &c. &C. will doubtless find
a center in this road-contributing largely to its
income Thus far Plank Roads have been very
productive when made, proving most advanta-
geous TO the country throug which they pass, and
giving large dividends to the stockholders. The
Of them of course is perishable, but sufficient
yearly amount is withheld from the profits to
keep the roads in complet order, and still leave
large dividend to the stockholders. 1t is propos-
ed to build double track from Saratoga to Ball
ston which, during the season of pleasure travel
ing especially, must be great thoronghfare. The
books of subscription will be opened on the LIST
December in Saratoga, Ballston and Schenectady.
