INCEST AND RAPE.-There are some demons in
human shape and one of them has just been dis
covered in St. Louis, as will be seen by the follow
ing paragraph which we find in the Republican of
the 30lh ult.
Yesterday, man by the name of Thomas, a
watchman at one of the Sugar Refineries was
brought before Justice Kitzmiler, on a charge of
having committed diabocal crime upon the per-
son of his own daughter, an interesting girl of II
years of age. The principal witnesses in tho case
were the unfortunate girl and her mother, the law
ful.wfe of this demon in human shape-a gainst
whom they swore to the effect that the father first
by force and afterwards by threats and other
means, had repeatedly had connection with his
own child. The evidence adduced was of posi-
tive and most conclusive nature, and upon it the
Justice committed the man 10 jail in default Of
bail.
IRISH LETTERS.-Within the last three or four
weeks, says the New York Herald, many nstan.
ces have been shown us, where letters from the
interior of Ireland directed for persons in this civ
have been opened, and, in some cases, extracts
clipped, as if with Il scissors. from them. These
referred to- coming from Ireland, are to the hum
bic classes of the Irish servants and laborers.

The Van Buren Inteifigeafer intimates that Mr..
WILSON, of Crawford has been claimed as a
friend 10 Sewer, by some Of the /" family" and
thereupon dictates a position to Mr.. Wilson pre-
dicated upon pledges made by him before the cleo
lion. We know nothing of the preferences of
Mr.. w; but, from our personal acquaintance
with the man, we should hardly suppose that he
could be % insinuated into positiOa'' he may not
choose to occupy by the remarks of the Inteili-
geAcer.-ArkansGS Banner.
Mr.. Wilson was privy to our remarks of the
18th uIt. and did feel hmself.' insinuated into
position by us; and, further. he authorizes US
to say that he considers 90 a pledge made before
the election sufficient for all honorable men ;
and that he cannot be insnuated into posiIion''
by anything the Banner say.
The same editor Woodruff now with another
paper under his control, turns his whole batteries
against Col. Sewer, and employs the most con-
temptibe means TO effect his defeat.-Banner
The allusion, we believe, is to US, as the other
paper that is opposed 20 Col. Sewers election
The nsinuation is basely false and is such as
might be expected from one who knows no higher
motive than selfish interest, and who is all the
time under the control Of others. Independence,
honesty, and candor attributes to which he Is
himself wholly ignorant, and therefore cannot see
them in others. He has not the shadow of a cir
cumstance upon which TO base his presumption
that we are under the control of any one, and we
challenge the editor of the Banner to point out
one. We regard it compliment to be assoc-
ated with Mr.. Woodruff, although we disclaim be-
ing under his control, freely admit. that if we
were 10 get so low as the editor fthe Banner and

There is no doubt, the State has maintained its

We reIierato that we are opposed 10 Col. Sc

ltor for the seat in the U. S. Senate and because
Col 5. has been in Office so long that lie has
grown independent of the Interests Of his constit-
