THE Stool PIeEoS MYSTERIES AGAIN IN THE
CouRT OF SEssIoss.-The first Of those criminal
cases generally known as the stool pigeon mystic
ries of the Court of Sessions. comuo need yester-
day before that tribunal II was the trial OF George
r. Case, on the charge cf forgery Ca Mr.. Neeius,
respectable merchant of this city. The evidence
end proceedings ofyes,erday, will be found in our
colunns to-day. The case IL not finished, but will
probably be terminated some time to-day. The
suuming mp will commence this morning, and il
Is probable that the charge 10 the Jury will be de-
liveIed before night.
We have called this one Of the cases connected
with the stooLplgeon mysteries, and We believe II
is so, although apparently less associated with the
romantic and interesting drama Of dupss,
knayts police oficers, and lawyers, and scoun-
dfes. than some of those that will follow. What
tie result Of the trial the verdict Of the jury may
be. we cannot speculate on. According to the
evidence, there Is some probability IN thinking
that the forgery was connected by some chemical
pruc,ss, in altering letter addressed by Neeius to
Arlington Bennett. This. however, is mere con
lecture. but a very probable one. Case himself
oo,srctarpsar 70 be but the possessor, or holder,
Of ne forged paper. The material individual, who
knew more ot The matter thsn any other Of the im-
poftont rcrsonages. Is probably the MN named

a. ar as il u the first and opening chapter 81 the
soolpigeon mysteries, which will make great
revelation concerning certain parties and certain
interests, before they will terminate, one way or
the other, in the Court Of Sessions. We mean TO
have firm. and fixed, and just, and determined
eye IN all these mysteries, as they rise ~ and call
for the attention u the public.

| Enterries0 betscsen Mr.. Li1lsfeld
and Professor Webstsr.-The Boa.
ton Journal gives the following ac-
count Of an interview between
Ephraiun Littls6eld, janator Of the
Medical College, and Professor Web
ster, which took place at Levsrett
street Jail on Wednesday a(ternoons
AT the solicitation of Professor
Webster, Mr.. Littlefeld, the janitor
OF the Medical College. and princi-
pal witness for the government on
the trial of Prof. Webster, visited
the Jail, and had an interview with
the condemned man in the presence
of Mr.. Andrews, the jailor. AS he
went into the cell, Prof. Webster
greeted him with great cordiality, ta-
king him by the hand, and told him
he had long been desirous of seeing
him, in order to make his acknowl-
edgmenis to him. Prof. Webster
said he had done him, Littleheld.
great injustice, and asked his forgive-
ness.
Mr.. Lit,le6eld replied, 81 forgive
you, DR.. Webster, with all my heart,
and pity and sympathise with you"
He told him that it was a painful
thing to go on to the stand an testi-
fy against him, but that he ielt it to
be his duty, and had no right to
shrink from it. If he had testified
to anything that was not strictly cor
rect, it was not done Intentionally
by him; If he had, asked his (We6-
ster's) forgiveness.
Mr.. Webster replied-"Mr. Little.
field, all that you said was true-you
have n1isrepresented nothing--bnt,
as dying man, / have no recollec-
ton in regard to the sledge hammerl''
He requested an interview with Mr..
LittIefeld's wife, who will, we under.
stand, visit him this Thursday after
noon.
Both Prof. Webster and LittlefeId
were mucn affected during the inter-
view, and they parted with mutual
good ieeling.
We are also informed, that Prof.
Webster seems perfectly resigned
and very penltent. He says that he
has made his peace above, and is pre-
pared to die. His only sorrow is
concerning his unfortunate family.
The officers Of the Jail have no ap-
prehension that he will commit sui
eide. No one is permitted to see
him unless they hold a permit from
the Sheriff,
Professor Webster, 1t is remarked
BY Boston editor, is still "Erving
Professor of Chemistry and Nine
rology," not having yet resigned his
office.
Little6eld, the janitor has pur-
chased farm in Sharon, VT, with
he reward paid him for discovering
he murderer of DR.. Parkman.

tween the Russians and Circassian:
had taken place, in which the loss
was immense on both sides. If this
much is allowed by ths Russians, il
is highly probable that they have sus.
tanned defeat at the hands of the
Circassians.
MAssAcREs BY CANNIBALs.-We
gather, from the Hobart Town Her.
aid that the natives have massacred
various parties Of seamen touching
at the Sandal Wood Islands. A fish.
ing establishment, near New Gale
donia, had been driven away or mas
sacred; and there was also reason to
believe that the French missionaries
at Yengin had shared similar fate.
The Mary, cutter, was attacked by
the natives at Balade. "They cooked
the bodies of the captain and crew
ashore, and ate them, after which
they burnt the vessel to the waters
edge" A boats crew from the Ro-
ver's Bride had also been murdered
at Efoo.
MIscELLANEoUs.-The cradle or
dered by the queen of Spain in antici-
patton OF her accouchment, has cost
$4,000.
Miss Eliza Cook Is still suffering
from severe illness.
Mr.. T. B. Macaulay is said to be
at present in Scotland, visiting all
the battle fields, Sc, which he will
be called on to depict in the coming
volumes Of his history.
At the close of lecture delivered
BY Lord Brougham, on Wednesday
week, at the Society for Promoting
he Amendment of the Law, his
ordship announced that in the month
If February next, he intended to
visit the United States, to confer
with his brethren there on the SUBJ

nPGov. Ramsey, the Governor
of Minnesota, who has for some time
been absent on an expedition into
the Chippewa country, around the
head waters of the Mississippi, re-
turned to the seat of Government
on the 7th inst. The st. Paul CAronii.
Gle of the 9Th says:
"He penetrated as Tar as Cass Lake,
about five hundred miles above st.
Paul. He represents a trip of this
kind as pleasant and novel in the ex-
treme, and the country grand and
romantic 10 the highest degree. We
are sorry we have not time and space
to give detailed account of the voy-
age. A most interesting fact in re-
gard TO agriculture is, that on the
borders Of Cass Lake the Missiona-
ries have fine fields Of Winter scheat
growing. Their potatoes and other
vegetables look as forward and thrift
ty as any in this part Of the Terrific
ry." .,,

Oregon.

We have dates from Oregon to
May Both. The Legislature ad.
| journed on the 25th.
a joint resolution was offered to
inquire into "the propriety of calling
a convention for the purpose of FORM
ing State Constitution, preparatory
TO admitting this Territory as State
into the Union."-But this resoIu-
ton was deferred, by adopting the
following as its substitute:
"Resolved, that our Delegate in
Congress be requested to use his in
fluence TO have the organic law of the
Territory so amended that the Gov.
ernor and Secretary may be elected
by the people.
Laborers Of all kinds are in great
requlsition---Carpenters receive from
So TO $l2 per day-common day
laborers 81 to So per day. Tailors
charge $50 for making dress coat.
and So 10 $40 for vests and panta-
looms. School teachers are in great
demand, and at their own price. An
Oregonian writes to his friend thus:
GAS to emigrants, let them come on
here we have the greatest plenty
of the two prime articles--health and
money. With these and an abun-
dance of provisions, we hold the
greatest inducements to emigration

A terrible outrage took place al
Culpepper, Virginia, a few days since.
ga mob Of 200 men, including justi.
ces OF the peace, members of the
church. and others, proceeded to the
Jail, resisted the sheriff and carried
off William Grayson, a free negro.
They dragged him TO the woods,
where they hanged him. The cause
Of this high-handed measure is this
Grayson had twice been convicted
ofmurdering David A. Miller,a white
man, but each time he appealed, and
the General Court granted him new
trials, on the ground that the tes-
timony hardly justified suspicion;
much less guilt. The mob allowed
Grayson one minute to confess. He
firmly avowed his innocence of the
murder. The mob then placed
rail across between two trees, and
strung him up. This outrage has
created intense excitement. The
papers entreat the Governor to ar
rest every one concerned in it,"

ADVERTISING:
Ths Prayer of .he Be.rolhed.

A lady in the St. Louis Union, owe
the signature of Inez, portrays he
thoughts in the following most beauti
full verses, on the eve of her marriage:
Father, come before Thy throne,
With low and bended knee,
To thank Thee, with grateful tone,
For all Thy love to me.
Forgive me, if my heart this hour,
| give not all to Thee,
For deep affections mighty power
Divides it now with Thee.
Thou knowest, Father, every thought
That wakes within my breast,
And how this heart has vainly sought
To keep its love suppressed.
Yet when the idol, worshipped one,
Sits fondly by my side,
And breathes the VOWS cannot shun,
To me, his destined bride
Forgive me, if the loving kiss,
He leaves upon my brow,
Is thought of in an hour like this,
And thrills me even now.
He's chosen me to be his love
And comforter through life;
Enable me, oh God, to prove
A loving, faithful wife.
He knows not, Father, all the deep
Affections | control
The thousand loving thoughts that sweep
Resistless o'er my soul.
He knows not each deep fount of love
That gushes warm and free;
Nor can he ever, ever prove
My warm idolatry.
Then guard him, Father-round his way
Thy choicest blessing cast.
And render each successive day
Still happier than the last.
And, Father, grant US so to live,
That when this life is Ger,
Within the happy home you give,
Well meet to part no more.

Boy DESTROYED BY A BEAR-A
most singular and unfortunate event
occurred in the rear of the Catholic
Chapel IN Portland, On. b. on Tues
day last. 1t appears that two young
lads went about a mile into the woods
for the purpose Of picking berries,
when bear deliberately walked from
the thicket and carried one of them
off. The ill-fated lad was between
IL and 10 years Of age, the son OF a
laboring man named Coyle, who
thus wiihouts q moments notice was
deprived of a promising boy. Search
was astergards made, and the mutt
lated remains were discovered. The
bear was accompanied by a cub, and
was evidently its dam.

ChInese Law.

One of the "Celestials'' at San
Francisco, As-SINa by name, the
keeper Of a restaurat, left open a cess
pool on his premises, into which a
citizen chanced TO fall, and therefore
the citizen sued the Celestial for dam
ages. The Celestial interposed the
following Chinese Law, in his de-
fence, and the proceedings were drop
ped:
"By the laws of the Celestial EN-.
pite, which have been in force from
the time of Confucius 10 the reign of
this present illustrious Taukwang, it
is provided that when a man tres
passes upon another's ground, and
thereby falleth into a sink, he shall
get nothing but dirty clothes, unless
he happeneth to be an outside bar
barian, in which case he shall also
get laughed at. As-SING believes
those laws still in force in all parts

condescending, as to dwell in my

The Compromise is daily gaining
ground in the Senate, and the general
impression is that il will pass, but by
very close vote; and its opponents
are determined that not a vote shall
be lost, and they will endeayor to
consume time in debate upon the
amendments now under considera.
ton, and prevent the vote being Ia
ken until Mr.. Webster's successor
shall arrive, who undoubtedly will
vote against it. Rumor assigns the
seat TO Mr.. Hoar, Of Concord, law
yer Of considerable eminence and
distinction in his own. State, and, /
believe, not unknown TO South Caro-
lima. The vote will not be taken
until next week, and if this very i'm
portant and long debated Slll passes
the Senate, its success in the House
may be regarded as sure, as the new
administration is certainly not COM
mitted against it, and it is generally
supposed to be favorable TO the bill,
which will secure the votes of many
Wings, who have heretofore stood
upon the plan proposed by the late
