MORE OF TIE LIBERTY OR DEATH" CASE.
The Cincinnati Gazette has these other
particulars in relation 10 the tragedy at Gov
ington, Of which we published tclcgrahjo
report two or three DAYS since:
4 great excitement was created m our
community yesterday, BY reports of a sur
eide and murders committed over the river
IN the course of the morning. These facts,
50 far as We could learn them. after a good
deal of inquiry, were these \ man named
Rust or Rash, had been some miles up the
Licking river, and purchased 4 negro man,
his wife, and their child. On reaching
Covngton, for safety he lodged them in a
Jail till he could make arrangements for
some steamer to pass over for them, and
take them South. The man and his wife
had both opposed being sold; and after hav-
ing been purchased objected to going to \.
Orleans, or any other place in the South,
and il would seem that while in the jail at
Coyington. these objections increasing, they
determined on self destruction. At the
wife's request, the husband cut her throat,
and then Killed their child. Both died.
This done, he cut his own throat, but not
so much as to Immediately to put an end to
his life. About noon it was thought he
might survive, but an hour before dark his
recovery was regarded as impossible.
The act was a horrible one, and It's rccl-
tai makes the blood run cold. But had a
slave in Rome, in the days Of Roman grand
eur, under like circumstances committed a
like deed, the fact would nave come down
TO US embalmed in classic history, and been
transferred thence to our school books, to
excite in them the admiration of our chill
dren."
The Cincinnati Herald says, al the close
Of a serious article on the snhject
"A lawsuit has already arisen as to the
man on whom the loss should fall-they
having been sold by Mr.. Rust and placed
in jail. while it is oontended by the pur-
chaser that the bargain was not completed.
How mean and miserable does such quar-
relling over the dead and bleeding bodies
appear"

EXPULSION FROM THE NAvY.-We have learned
from private source, that the midshipmen belong
ing to the naval school at Annapolis, engaged as
principals In the duels which lately took place
there, have been, by order of the President of the
United States, dismissed from the navy. AS yet,
there has been no official statement of the fact,
and we therefore hope that it is the intention of
the President to reinstate them.
The rules of the service, punishlng duelllng by
dismissal, though stringent IN the letter, have
rarely, before the present administration, been
carried into effect. We remember various in
stances wherein duels between mldshpmen and
civilians, terminating fatally to the latter have
been overlooked, notwithstanding that the present
rules were then in force. AS to auels between
midshpmen, they have been, and are still, matters
of monthly occurrence, but they scarcely ever
result fatally The young gentlemen exchange
Shots their honor Is satisfied and there is an end
slight abrasion of the skin, or, at most, trivial
flesh wound, winds up the affair, and they are
thenceforward fast friends For such triAes, it is
too hard they should be visited with the serious
penalty of dismissal particularly as the rule has
been hitherto dead letter.
THIS is not all. The very men who frame those
rules LOT the prevention OF uuell1ng in the navy,
give the practice the sanction of their own exam
pie. 1t but the last day of the session of Con-
gress, just terminated, that one grave Senator of
pretty mature age, challenged another grave Sena-
tor, Of still maturer age, to mortal combat: the
provocation beng, that the elder Senator gave his
venerable junior the lie direct Is it then strange
that the mldshIpmen at Annapolis. with their
young veins filled with hot blood, should do what
ihe cold blooded grey-beards in Congress practise
as thing essential TO the vndIcatlon of their
honorl II is true, Mr.. Polk himself has NOT IN
his person sanctioned the practice but his ex-
ample is wholly powerless, 80 long az duelLng "a
counienanced by those who make the laws bv
which those midshpmen are controlled
We do not speak in vindicaton of a practice
which has nothing to justify it but we deem il
eminenty unjust TO give those rules against it
a merely partial operation. The German students
fight with the broadsword the rule being that they
shall aim altogether at the face and the fight ter
mlnatiDg when blood is drawn The duels are
frequent, but never attended with consequences
more serious than the necessity of wearing piece
of courtplaister on damaged nose, or an abraded
chin. II this system were introduced at Annapo-
lis II would do more to arrest the practice Of duel
ling than all the severe penalties IN the power of
the President to lnflcf
We trust, on the whole, seeing that the recent
duels have resulted harmleesly, and that they were
engaged in under the influence OF strong excite
ment, that the young gentlemen concerned will be
restored to their rank and that some more effect
ual mode will be adopted Of arresting the practice
OF Guelling in the navy.
