ANOTHER MURDER.

From intelligence received from the neigh
borhood of Middletown, in Montgomery
county, we learn that on the 9th inst, the
body Of Turner Gooch was found dead, q
short distance from the side of the road be.
tween Middletown and his residence in the
same vicinity. This individual Gooch was
resting under an indictment for rape upon
the person of n e Mrs. Angel, preferred
against him by the Grand Jury at the las,
April term Of the Circuit Court for said
county. Suspicion Immediately fell, as we
understand, upon Angel, the husband of the
injured lady, who was arrested, and is now
undergoing a trial before the committing
Magistrate.
Gooch had been shot, we learn, neal the
road, and his body had been dragged off into
the woods. His gun, shot pouch, cap, &C.,
with which he had started from Middletown,
are missing.

II We have received. BY the last Platte

u We have received, by the last Platte
Argus, the able and digniied vindication of
Senator Atchison of himself and others,
against the whimpering charge Of conspi-
racy made by Col. Benton in his Boonville
speech. The reply of General Atchison
shall find a place in our columns, and should
be read by every impartial reader. 1t is a
convincing article, and distinguished from
Benton's style by its decorous language, its
freensss from personal epithets andlo w vul-
gas blackguardism. In noticing Benton's
publishing his private conversations, he
says: 81 here repeat it, that there is an
opposition to him-a combination if he
prefers the word, to dismiss him from the
U. s. Senate, that cannot be resisted: it is
. combination of the honest, the virtuous,
and the intelligent of all portions of the
State-they cannot fail-the knife will be
spilled and the rotten will be cut off,"

COMMITMENT OF GoSsALvE AND RAYMOND MoN-

COMMITMENT OF GoNsALvE AND RAYMOND Mon
TEsaU1oU.-The examination of these prisoners,
which has been going on for several days, before
the Recorder, was concluded yesterday. They
were both committed to jail, to take their trial in
January next, the offence being regarded as of q
nature to preclude them from being admitted to
bail.
We understand that an attachment was issued
yesterday, at the suit of the father of young Bar
num-, to recover damages for the loss of his servi-
ces, &C., he being at the time of his death a minor.
The damages are laid at three thousand dollars.-
Under this writ, all the property Of which the Mon
tesquious were possessed, on their arrival in this
city, was seized by the Sheriff, to abide the event
of this suit.
This is a novel preceding, but there may be law
for il. If not, there ought to be. Nothing would
contribute more speedily to check the propensity to
kill, than to mike the survivor in all affairs Of blood
liable for the maintenance Of the family of the vic
tim, no matter under what circumstances the death
may be brought about. Cities are made RESPONSE
bic, if q man falls into one of their bitches and is
killed-railrosds end other companies are made
liable for accidents resulting from The negligence or
|reckiessnesS of their agents. and it would be a
good principle, to extend the law so a. to cover all
cases of homicide, by making the offender respon-
|sible in his personal estate, where he escapes from
the extreme penalty ofthe law.-fRepublican, 10th

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COUNTY.

At no former period, perhaps, have i'm.
Provsments progressed so rapidly in our
County 90 at present. Our towns are in
cseasing in population, and our farmers in
wealth and the general means of comfort.
Our. ovn little city is marching on with
rapid strides-her enterprising citizens not
only advancing their own individual inte-
rests in promoting its growth, but contrib
uting a. well privately as through the means
Of q liberal governmental policy, to the pub
lie interests and to the growth and prosperi-
ty Of the city. There is nothing to pre-
vent Louisiana from gracefully wearing the
soubEiquet Of city. Like a modest youth
who bushes when he first hears the title Of
Mr.. appended to his name, she may for q
while feel uneasy when her ardent friends
bestow upon her the premature title, but
socn she may rest easy under the appella-
ton, and challenge the merited respect from
the most uncivil beholder.
- Clarksville, too, has awakened from her
long apathy and apparent Indifference to
every species Of Improvement. Her citi-
zens have become aroused to the advance
ment Of their OWE interests, Those who
are the owners of the town properly, are
constructing warehouses, store rooms, and
neat and. substantial dwellings upon it;
whilst the ingress Of population is such that
the builder meets applications to rent be-
fore the foundations of bis house are COM
Pleted. MsssTs. Prewitt & Luke are build
ing . large warehouse, in which they con-
template to have 3 tobacco inspection and
sale for the convenience of the growers of
the surrounding country. A large steam
Touring mill, erected during the last sum
mer by Messrs. Jones & Barker, is now in
fun operation, and opens up another market
for the wheat growers of the county. A
COED wharf will soon be constructed in front
of the town, and this will be added to the
aaresdy superior advantages Of q splendid
landing.
Ashley, We understand, Is becoming aneai
and beautiful town, increasing in population
and business importance. Her new build

pear TO Be durable. It is surrounded by q
most fertile district OF country, which is set

mooted, yet we are now inclined to regard
it differently, and have every reason to be-
lieve that it will engage its proper share Of
attention at the coming session of Congress.
These remarks we make out of no feeling
of hostility to the proposed work, but on
the other hand we desire its success, and
look Forwards its consequences, if built,
with the most pleasing emotions. 1t is a
great and magnificent undertaking, anu to
insure it success requires the "co.opera-
ton" of the whole Union. Whilst reflect
ing upon the immense advantages to be de-
rived from it, we should at least as prudent
men and political economists, look we'll to
the means of its accomplishment. There
are many things connected with this matter
well worthy Of impartial thought, and with
this view it is that we have mentioned the
subject at present, and shall continue the
subject in future at leisure.

We shall notice in due season the late ex.

Of Mr.. Salmon P. Chase, the last elected

upon the same principles which he profess
es, he could not have voted liz the federal
