"Uuqnestionably." replied the apothecary
'for you assured me so yourself" "But," re-

nothing else" yet never word is said against
it by the locofoco papers. No; on the contra

them TO 60 it, and announce that they are do

1t is perfectly right for Benton, Allen, Foote,
Bagby, Houston, Douglass, and other locofo-
co members of Congress travel to all over the
country making political hanangues; but it is
morally and outrageously wrong for Wing

Man KiLLED-vERY SINGULAR AFFAIR

MAN KLLED-VERY SINGULAR AFFAIR
singular affair that transpired in the upper part
of the city, yesterday morning which resulted
in the death Of a German named Mitchell, who
resided on Marshall, near Jackson street. 1t
appears that MITCHELL wife was suffering
with an excruciating tooth-ache, and remem-
bering superstition quite prevalent among a
lower class Of her country people, that she
would be Immediately relieved by having some
of her blood buried under the root of an apple
tree, she awoke her husband during the night
and requested him TO 60 into neightor's yard
where there was tree of the kind, and per-
form the requirements of the supersltion.--
Mitchell, who il is believed was partially in
toxicated at the time missed his way and in
stead of going to the place he had directed ,
entered the yard of Mr.. Garter Tiller, on
Walnut just below Jackson street, where he
commenced digging hole with a hoe at the
root OF a tree. Here the tragical part of the
story begins. We have been told that few
nights previous an attempt had been made 10
rob MIR. Tilier's house, and that expecting re-
turn OF the scamps, he was watching for them
when Mitchell entered the yard. Surprising
him to be the guilty one he went into the yard
struck him over the head with stick or cane,
infiicting such severe wounds as TO cause the
unfortunate mans death, about 10 o'clock yes
terday morning. Mr.. Tiller, who has always
borne the reputation of an excellent citizen,
will probably deliver himself up at the Police
Court this morning. when all the facts of the
case will be made known. COur-

GEN. TAYLoR.-I, is said that every mail
that arrives at Baton Rouge brings from fifty
to hundred letters addressed to Gen. Taylor,
and that on not one in twenty is the postage
paid by those sending them. This imposes an
onerous tax not only on the pockets but on the
time of Gen. Taylor, who cannot find the leis-
ure to read one half he receives, and he has
been compelled to adopt the rule to take no
letter from the post-office that is not prepaid
correspondent writing from Baton Rouge tc
the Picayune says:
| have on more than one occasion written 10
you relative to the enormous tax made upon
Gen. Taylor's time and pocket by letter wri.
tiers. You will scarcely believe that more than
fifty will often arrive in one mail, yet this il
often the case. In fact a sufficient number oil
letters arrive to occupy his whole time, il he
| should undertake to read them all. But the
evil does not stop here; it appears that there
are individuals, who either from obtucity OF
intellect or from vicious heart, will enclose
to Gen. Taylor scraps Of newspapers, often
containing articles rejecting upon his politics,
or asking him impertinent questions, or inqui-
ring after matters and things that he can know
nothing of. Uuder these circumstances he has
for some time past refused to take from the Of
fee any letter not postpaid, or directed in a
hand he recognized: and the consequence is thai
great number of letters collected here were,
Of the lst of June, forwarded to Washington.
Among these forwarded letters, if it has not
miscarried, that Mr.. Moreheads long expected
letter was included, at least such is my con-
viction, and the only way that can account
for Gen. Taylor rot having been since inform
ed of the honor conferred upon him by that
portion of his freinds that composed the Phila
delphia Convention.
lfsuch is the case, itcertainly affords new
and highly interesting phase of the unambiti
Gus character Of Gen. Taylor. Unmoved
amidst the honors grateful country showers
upon him, he never thinks of himself and let.

for which politicians struggle through long
mentseres of yea RS to attain, often sacrificing IL
