ALABAMA--The wings have majority Of one
in the State Senate Of Alabama. The House is
democratic by about fifteen votes. The legislative
elections show very curious result in many coun-
ties. Wings have been elected in the strongest
democratic counties, and democrats in the strongest
wing counties. It is piece of good luck for the
democrats that they did not lose the legislature and
with it two Senators from Congress, who are to be
chosen at the next session.

JEALOUSY AND MURDER.-We understand that
a most revolving murder was committed at Waynes-
vile in Warren county, on Monday last, by wo-
man named Mrs. Gordon. She cut the throat of
her own infant, about eight months old, with ra-
zor, after having attempted to murder her husband.
and then sought to destroy the life of another child
failing in which she endeavored to take her own
life but succeeded only in inAicting severe wound
from which it is supposed she viii recover.
1t is said that when she retired to rest she laid
a razor under the pillow; but her husband from
some cause could not sleep, and so no opportunity
was offered her of committing the intended deed.
About O'Clock he was about TO get up, when she
advised him to lie still and endeayor to get some
rest lie followed her advice and soon fell asleep,
when she struck the razor into his throat inficting
severe but not dangerous wound. The man ran
from the house for help-and returning in a few
moments, found the infant dead and its mother W.
ing upon the floor, apparently dead Medical aid
was Immediately procured, and the woman had
partially recovered yesterday. She said that zeal
ousY OF her husband had induced her 10 perpetrate
the terrible acts Of which she had been guilty-ex
pressed some remoTse for the murder Of Inc child.
and asked her husbands forgiveness for the atten

we have files from the city Of Mexico up to the I'd
instant,

was circulated in the capital that President Her
rera intended to withdraw from power for a time,
and that it was proposed to make Gutierrez Presi-
dent, ad interim.
The Senate has declared unconstitutional the
decree of the Chihuahua legislature, offering re-
ward for every Indian captured dead or alive Not
withstanding this, the Durango legislature has
authorized the formation of companies for making
war on the Indians, and has promised 5000 for the
head Of every Indian, dead or alive.
The Central Government decided that the prim-
airy elections for members of Congress should take
place on the first Sunday of August, and that the

Besides the decorations which Plus TX has sent

has granted the grand cross of the order bearing
his name to Sens. Otero and Lacunza, who were

$25 600 were voted to him. He has, moreover,
given the same order, as well as that Of Christ to

By the arrival Of the Portland, Capt. Place, we
have Brownsville papers up to the 18th.
1Ididns-The Flag of the 9th says BY an ar
rival few days since at the Brazos from Corpus
Christi, we learnthat train of merchandise owned
by Mr.. Droyer, had been attacked BY Indians Mr.
Droyer Immediately dispatched an express to Corpus
Christi, calling for aid. We learn further that
Gen. Cazaeaus train, containing merchandise said
to amount to ninety thousand dollars, en- route for
Paso del Norte, had also Indians lowering around
it, atone time they approached so near as to be fired
upon by the teamsters. Yesterday a respectable
Mexican brought us news that a body of Indians
had been seen few days past, within t6irty-fye
miles of this place.
We have learned that information is being sought,
with view to show that exaggerated statements
have gone forth as to the amount of depreciation
committed on our frontier. That great loss of life
and property has been suffered is notorious but
thereis only one mode we can suggest to approx
mate to the amount lost-it is that those searching
for this information shall make their enquiries on
the Mexican side Of the river, where the remnants
Of the families have fled for protection.

DEATH-BED OF CHILD. - The Bath Mass
Tribune says that child of DR.. Shaw, two years
of age, died on the 4th inst, after sickness of six
hours, from eating cobalt which was prepared for
flies. One incident connected with her death, says
the Tribune, was sffectingly beautiful. When her
eyes began to grow dim with death she evidently
fancied it night and she was going to sleep, and
she died with her customary good night, mamma, j"

to sustain Mr.. Benton.

FROM THE PLAINs,-The St. Joseph Gazette

California emigrants. Mr.. Burbanks, formerly
citizen Of Naples, writes that they had reached
Fort Laramie after thirty days hard travel, in
which time two members of his company had died
of cholera, A number had been unwelE More or
less out Of all the companies had died. The road
was marked by many graves, and disease still CON
tinued, but in milder form. The Bloomington
Qndianal company had broken up into many small
diyisions1many deserted. The epidemic ragged
most violently among the emigrants from the time
they started TO about the ID Of May. The fatal
cases are represented to have been of the most vo
lent chaacteT-death ensuing in from eight to
twenty-iouF hours. Dr. VIM. F. Edgar, an assis-
tant surgeon in the army, treated it with some sue
cess with ehloroform. Mr.. Roe, Of Wisconsin,
was killed by some Indians, supposed to be Sioux,
on the north side Of the Platte, about 800 miles be-
low Fort Laramie, whilst he was out hunting.

SHOOTING AT BARBsToW N.-We find the follow
ing in the Louisville Courier of the 10Th: r. Lo-
gan Wicklife, young lawyer Of that place and
w. P. Gray, blacksmith, have been upon I'M
friendly terms for some years, and have had no
intercourse of any kind for long time. Cray last
Sunday let gentleman have one of his horses to
90 to the country, and as the gentleman returned
he met Rel. Wickliffe, who asked the use of the
horse to 60 TO a religious meeting some miles dis
tant. The gentleman let him have the horse, and
acquainted GRAY (the owner) with the fact who re-
marked that Nj Wickliffe should not use his pro-
perry, Tor words to that amount,l and Immediately
mounted another horse and proceeded with friend
in quest of Wickliffe. When he arrived at the
Westinghouse Gray found his horse hitched to a
tree, and Immediately took him in charge and re-
turned with him to town. He had no words with
Wicklifie on the ground, and did not even see him.
Wicklitie is said to have been greatly incensed
when he missed the horse and understood who had
taken it away, and made some hard threats against
Gray. The circumstances were generally known
and commented upon IN Bardstown, and all who
knew Wickhtte and Gray expected a difficulty be-
tween them. Nothing however transpired between
them until yesterday morning, about 10 O'Clock
when, as Gray was going down street towards
home, and had got within some twenty steps Of his
yard-gate, Wickhffe came out Of his Office (nearv
opposite Gray's house,) armed with double barrel
shot gun, took rest against locust tree and fired
the discharge taking effect in Gray's side GRAY
turned, and as he did so, Wicklifle discharged the
second barrel, striking him either in the back or
breast. He Immediately fell, was carried into the
house, and upon examination of his wounds tbe
physicians pronounced them mortal. When the
stage left at II o'clock, Gray was alive, but in
very precarious condition.
We last night received the following dispatch
from Bardstown: w. P. Gray is still alive hut
cannot possibly live long. Wiclllife escaped This
morning, and has not been heard of since'"
