Death Of a Foiger Astounding Disclosures
count of a singular disclosure, made by one of the
victims to the Cholera:
Among the victims of the Cholera on Monday
night last, was a convict in the Indiana Peniten.
tiary, al Jacksonville, named Root. He was SEN
fenced 10 the Penitentlary for six years, under "A
charge of having robbed the Bank at Madison, In.
diana, of some S2S, 900, and his sentence would
have expired next month. Our readers will recol-
lect that thus robbery took place about years
since, and created great excitement at the time,
and suspicion was cast on some men occupying
high places. The money was never found, and 10
this day, as has been ascertained by memoranda
kept by the Bank, not dollar of the stolen notes
has ever been put in circulation.
Root was q man of bad character, and as he
was at Madison about the time of the robbery he
vas pursued, arrested, and on trial was convicted
of the crime, although nothing positively was
proved against him, and notwithstanding he al
most positively proved an abb.
On his deathbed, on Monday night, he freely
confessed to number Of forgeries and crimes, and
implicated, as being connected with him in hs
forgery transactions, person who is at present a
resident of this city, and who is reputed to be now
worth his 100000 He, however, most earnestly
and solemnly denies having ever had any thing to
do with the Madison Bank robbery, or of knowing
any thing about it, either directly or indirectly.
As we have already said, he freely acknowledged
to many other crimes, but with full knowledge
that death would soon claim him as victim, he
asseverated TO the last that he was suffering the
penalties of crime of which he was entirely in
nocent. The confessions were made to his phys
clan, DR.. w f. Collum, and from all the attending
circumstances, his statements are believed To be
true.

Mr.. CLAY.-The Washington Union Of the
2Oth ult. thus spoke Of Mr.. Clay, in connection
with the probable failure of the Compromise
Bill in the Senate:
Mr. Clay declared yesterday, in a speech
which brea,hed all the FIRE and energy of a
young orator, that il the present compromise
bull should fail. he would not despair of the
Republic and that he would spare no effort to
give stability to the Union and peace TO the
country. The enthusiasm Of Mr.. CLAY, at mi,
advanced period Of life, exhibits a model which
is worthy the imitation of all young men. Il
is this enthusiasm of character which fnrnishe,
the secret Of success Of the most distinguished
men.
"ShOuld the compromise fail, WE shall no,
despair OF the Republic. Noble and consider.
ate patriots must still deliberate upon III,
adoption Of some means which may save III,

Much obliged to our friend "Tele.

in his communication. We Travelled The
Telegraph road once, however, some
weeks since, and Jared no better in the
way Of water than on the Stage road
having been presented with branch sOatsr
at two houses where we called for a
drink. This may have been, however,
only because we are an unfortunate
individual" but so it vas, nevertheless /.
Ten miles from Canton, where we dined,
I'VE did not learn the name Of our aost,)
we got a tolerahle fair drink Of cistern
water, for the cOuntry-but we can assure
our friend Of that Tx, that his water will
not compare with the fine c.stern water
we daily use by the courtesy OF our
neighbors, Judge s. and DR.. L. The
reason why, we are not chimist enough
to tell.
1t is our own opinion, that the Tele.
graph road is the best, and when we
have occasion to visit the Capital again
upon our friends suggestion we will

With the evidences Of its ruinous effects.
Ten DAYS ago the prospect for an aver.
age cotton crop was good, but now we
venture 10 say, that there will not be an
average ola half crop made in Madison
county. The boil worm has commenced
lls ravages, not only in the squares, bu.
upon the bolIs. They are increasing
rapidly, and in ten days they will destroy
al the forms and young bclls. Nothing
will be made except what is now out Q
