Mrs. Miller, who was reported as having been
seen in Virginia. has not yet been discovered by
her almost distracted husband. There was no truth
in the stories. Major Miller has followed each Of
these rurnors, which, like gnus fatuus, have led
him to disappointment. There seems to be but

SINGULAR CAsE.-A trial took place in Orange
county, N. " a short time since which presented
some unusual circumstances The facts are as fol-
lows! Some twenty years ago Ebenezer Seeley
married, in Goshen, to Maria Bradner. Both
were highly respectable. Afterwards they removed
to Elmira, where he became Incorporate, and they
separated; he returning to Orange, aud she remain
ing in Elmira. About seven years since, she sued
for divorce in the Sixth District. The divorce
was obtained through the default OF the defendant
TO appear. A few mouths afterwards, Mrs. Seeley
married Elisha o. Crosby of Elmira, the defendant
in this action The plaintiff contended that the
divorce was nullity, because the Vice Chancellor
who granted it had no jurisdiction over a citizen OF
Orange, where he resided; and he then instituted
this suit against Crosby, for improper intercourse
with his wife! The jury gave verdict of Sll00
for the plaintiff Crosby, the defendant is in Cali
fornia, was member Of the Convention which
framed the Constitution now before Congress, and
is said to be a member of the California Senate.

Of the 10th inst says: " We have come in possess

Fdays since. Dr. Robert Burns and Watt Mormon

1t appears that the parties had some difficulty
previous to the day in question Circumstances
conspired to render them deadly enemies, and it is
said brought threat from Mormon to kill Burns.
On Thursday evening last, while Mormon was
walking arm-in-arm with friend on the main
street in Loganport, and just they were turning
the corner OF house, Burns shot Mormon in the
back, at distance of about ten PAGES, with dou-
blebarreled shotgun, the entire load "a number Of
large size bucksho0 of the first barrel fired taking
effect by portion passing through the body Of
Mormon, three or four inches below the shoulder
blade. Burns then fired the second barrel which
missed Mormon, but came very near killing the
gentleman with whom M. was walking, the load
passing Immediately over his head as he was
pulled down by the death-grip of the wounded
when he fell. Mormon died in ten minutes
after he was shot. Watt Mormon has been long
known as a leading character in the society, as it
might be termed that existed in Texas under the
title OF Regulators. Ii we are not misnfornied,
Dr. Burns has been heretofore regarded as peace
able and quiet citizen of DeSoto parish. The par
ties have been living in or near Loganport for
time"

The NICARAGUA AFFAIR.-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, under date Of
the 17th, explains this matter in the following way
Mr.. Lawrence charged with the conduct OF
the negotiation in England and he carried out the
original propositions and instructions as far as the
state Of the matter was understood at that time.
He was subsequently instructed on other questions
arising out of Mr.. Chatfeld's proceedings. But
Mr.. Lawrence became i'll, and the negotiation was
suspended. Mr.. Clayton undertook to press it
here and upon Sir Henry Bulwer, who disclamed
entirely any powers or any instructions on the sub
ject. He was willing, however to receive propo-
sitons, and without giving his own sanction to
them, to transmit them to his Government and
await instructions. Mr., Clayton accordingly and
perhaps unadvisedly, showed his whole hand to one
who had disclaimed all authority. What people
call treaty, is letter that Mt Clayton wrote to
the British Minister, and which was sent out 10
England by him, somewhere about the beginning
of the present month. The day on which the dis
patch went out correctly stated in the Sun and
New York Tribune and Express.
On the subsequent Saturday, Mr.. Clayton brought
the subject before the Cabinet. with view TO a
confirmation of his course. But the Cabinet did
not coincide in his views. The meeting was ad-
journed till the next day, Sunday last, and after
much discussion, the acts of Mr. Clayton were not
confirmed. So stands the matter. MIR. Clayton
is, whether justly or not, much incensed, and has
even talked OF resigning but have idea that
he will resign.
