Young man nan,ed Richard Overlook

Some sixty shot entered the brides
face, neck and bosom! Some shot
passing her took effect in the face Of
Joseph i,ineni;ugei. Both were much
injured, bet the young bride is in m
aw luI situation, and it was feared she
would die. 1t was impossible to cx'
trac, the shot. as they were deeply
imbedded in the flesh. and so near tno
lugular vein. Some, 1t was found,
had penetrated near the brain. The
young husband, when orr reporter
saw the couple, was wiping the bIocd
from his wile's wounds, as it oozed

crowd OF some three hundred persons
were standing round. The fellow
who discharged the pistol had fci TO

Jude them What State may be the first TO be
involved in measures of Resistance know not.
South Carolina has sometimes cried out as a sen
tinel. But there are others having greater inter-
ests at stake, and will be put ultimately IN greater
danger. They will look to their security and
Interests, and al The planting States will move as
one man.
i, sir, dwell upon this, because wish my con-
stltuents to stand right before the tribunal Of his
tory upon that subject. There is no portion of
thus country more ready to make sacrifices which
could be made by equals in this Confederacy then
that which represent. But there is limit, and
il is for those who have the administrations Of this
government to choose whetherthey viii havethe te-
merity TO pass on and run the risk of passns IL.
If they do so, they must run all the hazards This
opposition to the Wiimot Proviso, and the feel
ings which it has engendered, are not tobe weighed
by argument any more than the contests be-
tween the colonies and Great Britain were to be
weighed by argument, and by the influence ofmere
discussion. DIR. Johnson by mere argument,
whilst he may have satisfied the people of England
that taxation on the colonies was no tyranny, his
argument had little effect on the colonies to recon
Gle them to measures which had become offensive
to their sentiments. The channel of separation
has been worn deeper and deeper every day, and
we have already lost opportunities of which we
might have awaited ourselves to settle and adjust
this question long ago. "a, T siiR 'at
IT is for those who have the destinies of this
nation III their hands to say how far they will re-
spect the feelings of the South When we went
into the war by which we made these acquisitions,
would not have regarded it as a favor to have
the Missouri Compromise granted us ; but now it
is favor, If 1t is granted according TO its true i'm
port and meaning. II Is now regarded as a favor
too great to be extended to us. BY way of sta
ting my estimate of the Union, although it has
operated hard upon the South, under the persecu-
tons which it has received from the administra-
ton of the Federal Government, would prefer
giving up all claim on California or other Next
can acquisitions, sooner than put it to the threat
ened hazards of dissolution. These acquisitions
have brought with them many dangers, and they
present temptations well calculated to make a
change in the original charaeterof institutions.
II proposition were to be made, and had to be
acted upon, that, by giving up these possessions,
confidence and harmony could be restored to the
Atlantic States as they existed before the war,
would regard IT as no sacrifice to give them up

The Linen Manufacture.
ITS INTRODUCTION IN THE UNITED srArEs---MAsu-


FAoTURE OF LINEN THREAD
Ireland has long been famous for her linen
manufactures. Who has not heard of Irish
linen T! The North Of Ireland has been rendered
a highly prosperous country by this very manu-
facture. Great and hourishing cities owe their
origin and prosperity to it; among them, Belfast,
which almost rivals Glasgow in commercial inn
portancc. The linen manufacture is one of the
greatest Importance, and it is problem to our
minds why and how it is that the manufacture
of cotton has made such astonishing progress,
while that of linen has been, if not retrogade,
almost stationary.
The manufacture of this useful article is of
great antiquity, it was used extensively by the
ancients, long before the article of cotton was
ever known or heard of 1t is Il far superior
product to cotton, being more durable and more
uniform in its texture. 1t is also a manufacture
peculiarly suitable to the North it gives en-
ployment to men, women and children, and it is
more valuable employment for them than the
cotton mill Affords inasmuch as it is domestic in
its nature, and much OF it is carried on by the
family ut home. II ought certainly to be en-
couraged and promoted in our State, and, indeed
we see no reason why linen should not be spread
abroad, and made almost as common and Access
sible to general use as the less durable and less
economical articles Of cotton manufacture. We
are happy to find that u beginning has been made
in this State, and we sincerely hope it will be
iostered and encouraged Messrs. Fisher g. Co.
have established a mandatory of linen thread
at Lansingburg, in our State, and have turned
out an article which is pronounced, by all com
petcnt judges, equal to any of the imported, and
superior to most of it, We have Il specimen
now before us, which is of admirable iineness
and texture. The manufacture OF linen thread
is, of course, the basis of the linen manufacture.
When once we succeed in it, the latter will
follow, as of course. From the beautiful pro-
duction issuing from the mandatory OF Fisher
a. Co, at Lansingburg, we have no doubt of the
success ofthe enterprise If our space allowed,
we could dilate upon this subject, for it is one
of immense Importance to our country. This
manufacture might do for MS what the growth OF
cotton has done for the South, and what it has
for years past done for the North of Ireland, in
building up rich commercial cities. Meantime,
the enterprise of the Messrs Fisher q Co.
deserves all praise and encouragement, and there
cannot be donbt of its triumph and success

The Cele6ratio~-R<snh Of the Conspiracy Cass-

Our city papers are still filled with accounts OF
the celebration of the Fourth Of July, and most
merry time they all appear to have had Of il. l
have never known the day to have been more uni
versally observed.
The case of the two brothers, Cochran, which
has long occupied the City Court, convicted of 4
conspiracy to falsely charge George w. Warner
with perjury was closed on Saturday, by a SEN
tence of one years Imprisonment in Jail. Fl ne Of
SlOO, and costs OF court 10 each. This is most
singular case. Some months since, the District
Attorney refused TO proceed against the eldest of
The brothers, asserting his belief that he was in-
sane. He denied insanity, and demanded trial.
The court refused 10 try him, on the same ground
aid he consequently brought articles of impeach-
menl before Inc legislature, az inst both of them,
which were laid the table. AT the next ter a OF
| the court, he demanded jury trial. on the ques-
ton Of sanity, which was granted, aud he argued
his own with much ability. The case oc-
cuYied enc week, and the jury finally returned a
verdict, that they believed him To he of sane mind.
The court then ordered that The trial for con sp
should progress at the term, and the brothers
were held TO bail. They were consequently tried
a few weeks since, arguing their ewn cases, when
verdict of guilty Was rendered, and the above
sentence has been imposed. The Judge an Dis
irict Attorney are, however satisfied Of the trgs
of n anily, and will, il is presumed, apply for a
ardOn for them.
