one mile from White Plains, in that countv,1sas
ehot by young man named Rooney, and Sc
yerely if nor mortaiiy wounded in two places,
one ball entering her breast without passing
through, and the other her hip. 1t appears that
Rooney prepared himself two pistols, went to a
cotton field, where the young lady was alone,
and Immediately on declaring his intention shot
her down with one pistol, and then fred the
other after she fell. He then went tothe house
Of neighbor, told what he had done, gave up
the pistols, and said he desired to be hung. He
also pleaded guilty as charged before re com
hitting magistrate. The only reason given by
che prisoner for the horrid act was, that he had
desired to marry the girl, but she would not
have him, and he preferred to kali her rather
shon she should become the vile Of another
Strange to say, notwithstanding the horrible
nature of the wounds received, the young lady
was still alive when last heard from, and hopes
were entertained ofher coyery.--Jacksoar'ifs

his wife; and be you assured, that she VIII not
take with your dress pains which she has never

fit properly. No matter for its mean quality;
mean as it may be, it may be neatly and trinity
put on; aud, if it be not, take care OF Yourself,
for. as you viii soon find to your cost, sleven
in one thing is sloven in all things. The
country people Judge greatly from the state OF
the covering of the ANGLES; and if that be not
clean and tight, they conclude that all ont Of
sight is not what it ought TO be. Look at the
shues. If they are trodden on one side, loose
On the foot, or run down at the heel. it is a
vrrv bad sign; and, as to slip shcd, though at
csming down in the morning, and even before
daylight, make up your mind to a rope, rather
than live with slipshod wife. Oh. how much
d. women lose by inattention to their matters.
Men, in general say nothing aboat it to their
wives: but they think about it: they envy their
tuckier neighbors; and, in numerous cases,con-
SEQUENCES the most serious arise from the appa-
srrn,ly trifiine cause. Beaut, is valuable; IL Is
one Of the ties, and strong tic, too, that how

SCOTS Command Suspended! =!

.- 81.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.
Gen. Cass, this morning. announced to the
Senate the following important facts in relation
to our army in Mexico:
Gen. SCOTS ommand has been suspended
for the present by the President.
Orders have been issued from War Depart
ment for the Immediate release of Gen. Worth
from the arrest nnder which Gen. Scott caused
him to be placed sometime since, for an alleged
infraction of the commands issued by his superb
or Officer.
General Butler assumes the command of the
troops stationed in that department OF Mexico
over which SCOTS command extended.
We give below the Mexican news referred
to in our paper of last Saturday From many
facts, connected with the reports, we are lead
10 believe that they will turn cat to be ungroun-
ded. These reports are only four days later
than received before, when no election was him
ted at as having tax en- place, or about to take
place. Again, Mr.. Trst has no power to act
for his government, if the declarations of the
government paper some weeks since, are true,
that he had been Instructed not TO make or re :
ceise any further overtures But we give ru-
,nors as received by telegraph TO the Cleveland
Herald: ~
Eezce Runners again.
Despatches from Washington say that ru-
mcrs are current there that dispatches were
received on Saturday from Mr. sTrist that Gen.
Herrera had been elected President of Mexico,
and that the prospects of peace are decidedly
fiattering. The reporter who sends the news,
thinks there is something in the rnmors, but
does not believe tha. any developements have
heen made from ofhcial quarters to the present
character of Trist's dispatches. .f

THs RUSSIAN LoAN.--An Eastern paper, re-

nary foresight, sagacity, and devotion to the
Peoples interest, notices with great degree
of reliance, the improbable rumor, that the En-
peror of Russia had negotiated Loan of 90,
100000 dollars to the United States Govern
ment, and makes the following comment -
ssThis will take ont Of the eonntry some II
or thirteen thousand dollars yearly, as interest,
which might remain in it. if our capitalists
would lei the Government have the money" -
Now we too, in our humble sphere, trust that
we are lahoring for the good of the People s.

the interest goes from the same persons pock-

country, and render still greater the difference
between he rich and poor; to build up the ar
stocraey of wealth, and to undermine our re-
publican Institutions. Rather let tie money, if
it must be taken, go to Russia. But we trust
the people will yet see the hdecus gulf which
is opening before them, and which threatens to
swallow everything precious or sacred.
