SOUTHERN FANATIcIsM. - A writer
proposes the following remedy for south
ern grievances, in late number of the
Columbia S. c. } Telegraph. He
says:
My idea is, first to perfect the Union
of the South, now SO happily in progress
Secondly, to dissolve the Union immedi-
ately form a Southern Confederacy, and
take possession by force Of arms, all the
territory suitable to slavery which would
include all south of the parallel of the
latitude of the Missouri Let this terri
tory then be settled up by Shareholders.
Let the Southern states give tract OF
land and one slave to every poor family
who will settle there The
south are interested to bring on the con-
test as soon as possible. Therefore
say this, this is the auspicious moment.
The opportunity is presented in the
meeting Of the Nashville convention
Let us use the opportunity. Let the
Convention act
That such an article as this was pop
ular in South Carolina proves conclu-
sively that fanaticism and insanity are
not wholly confined to the Garrison alb
olitionists Of the North. The Nashville
Convention is sufficiently odious now
but If 1t should make such recommcn-
dations as these every member who a.
greed to them would be whelmed in the
contempt ofthe southern people. Wick

SUICIDE BY DRowNING. We learn
that likely young negro man, of medi-
UNI size, drowned himself at Newport,
opposite Cincinnati, last Monday morn
ing, about daylight The circumstances
of the case, which are very singular,
are as follows Captain Haldeman, of
the Yorktown, put negro on the mail
boat Telegraph, Sunday morning, giving
the Captain the assurance that the man
was free. Before the boat reached
Cincinnati, the negro went TO Captain
McClelland, and remarked to him, that
as he did not wish to see either him or
Captain Haldeman get into difficulty
he would inform him that there was
another colored man on beard the boat
besides himself, who was not vouched
for by Captain Haldeman.
The Captain proceeded to the lower
deck, and found the negro man, who,
upon being interrogated, refused to give
any account " hatever of himself When,
or how he got on the boat, could not be
ascertained. The Captain called the
mate, and two of the crew, and placing
the negro in their charge, ordered them
into the yawl, with the design of lodging
the negro in the Jail at Newport, Ky .
The boat was stopped, and the negro,
who made no attempt to resist, got into
the yawl with the mate, and the yawl
was rowed to the shore. Just as the
bow Of the boat reached the Kentucky
shore, the negro man jumped headlong
into the river and disappeared under
water. The mate and one of the men
Immediately plunged in after him, but
could neither see nor hear him. He
never arose to the surface of the water,
and evidently drowned himself in prefer
ence to being captured.
The officers of the mail boat are of
opinion that the negro man got on the
boat here at Louisville, and secreted
himself in the hold. From an imper-
feet description given of his appearance,
it is thought that he was a runaway

Attempted Bank Robbery in dorchester

About one O'Clock, this morning
watchuan Cunningham, of Dorchester,
on turning a corner into an alley run
ning in the rear of the building, in the
second story Of which is located the
Mattapan bank, saw two robbers at
work with tools, one at the door of the
store beneath the bank, and the other
a: window. The former, on discover
ing the watchman, dropped his tools
and ran. The other, taking the alarm,
retreated up the court, and as the
watchman was closing upon him, he
turned about and levelling a pistol, shot
a ball which passed through the watch
mans hat, just grazing his head. The
conclusion stunned him for moment,
so that the villain ran safely past him.
On recovering, however, he discharged
"a pistol, the ball of which, probably
taking effect In the leg, brought the viii
lain to the ground. He Immediately
sung out to his comrade : Thompson,
come and help me, for am shot" The
other answered: Cup, Bill! for they are
upon us!'' Bill was doing the best he
could to get along, when two other
comrades, who had been stationed in a
wagon a short distance off, came, and
assisted by Thompson, precipitately hur-
rled the wounded rogue to the wagon,
bundled him in, and drove off at high
speed. The watchman gave an alarm
as e6ectualIy as he could, and did all in
his power to arrest the rogues, but with
out success. They left behind guam
tity Of burglars tools. A hole had been
perforated through the shutter, and a
jimmy set in at the edge Of the door to
pry it open. 1t is to be hoped that the
rascals may be successfully traced, and
brought up to the bull-ring.
Since writing the above, we have
seen the cashier of the bank, who in
forms us that as there is no communica- l.
ton between the grocery store and the
bank, and as the store has been entered
by the same window before, it is his
opinion that the robbers had no idea of
forcing the bank; and If they had, they
could not have carried it out. 1t was
the opinion of the persons who gave in
formation to Marshal Tukey, that the
robbers did intend to force the bank,
and that they would have succeeded had
they not been disturbed.-Bos. Times.

ATTEMPTED MURDER-SUIcIDE.-
a gentleman who arrived last evening
by the eastern stage, we learn that a
deliberate attempt TO murder woman
was made by her husband, who after
wards shot himself. 1t occurred about
six miles this side of Belvidere. and the
facts are thus stated 1t appears tina.
a man named Bennett had .quarreled
with his wife, and abused her so that
she was compelled to leave him and
engage as a domestic in a neighboring
family. Bennett became jealous Of her,
and enraged at her refusal to live with
him, determined to end her life and his
own at the same time. He loaded a
shotgun with shot and ball and charged
a pistol, went to the house where his
wife lived, saw her in a wagon about
leaving, declared his intention to shoot
her, and raising his gun at only four
rods distant, took deliberate aim she
sprang TO her feet and held up the seat
board in terror before her At the dis
charge Of the gun she fell heavily in the
bottom of the wagon, and the terror
stricken driver drove rapidly down the
road. The wretch then threw down his
gun, and raising the pistol to his head,
fired and fell dead on the spot. The
woman was brought back to the house,
and upon examination was found to be
but slightly injured. The ball had
lod ged in the left breast and was easily
removed. The gun was well aimed at
the heart, but the board which she held
before her checked all the shot but one,
which cut her middle finger, and OBJ
structed the ball sufficient to save her
life.-Galena .adr. July 4h.
