The Natchez Free Trader says: We are au.
thorized to say that the proceeding of the New
Orleans Grand Jury, as far as Gov. Quitman is
concerned, is an infamous. assumption on the
part Of that body. This assertion is boldly
made without knowing the name of single
person upon that Jury. Neither Gov. Quit1uan
or Judge Smith could have had anything more
o do with the Cuban Expedition than the man
in the moon. if Gen. Quitman had been inter
ested in the affair, things, just now, would have
worn a different aspect, and the sneaks Of the

TIE Weather and Crops.

| Under this head the Clinton Feliciana Wing
of the 26th inst, says The incessant rains fol
the last day or two are the cause Of complaint
among the planters. 1t is the general impress
sion that, without any more rain, the corn crop
will be a very abundant one. What effect the
rains viii have upon the cut worms, remains to
be seem One thing is certain, the injuries sus-
tanned up to this time from the ravages of the
cut worms in the cotton fields is very great In
portions of ST. Helena and Livingston, which
we have lately visited, the complaint of injury
from lice and cut worms Is unusual.

B If fanaticism were not deaf, as well as
blind, the lessons taught by the constant. recur-
renee of incidents like the following, might
teach it the folly and sin of disturbing relations
SO mutually beneficial and agreeable. Until
that blessed time shall arrive, when every indi-
vidual shall be his own boot-black, and no
social inequalities exist, the relation Of mutual
kindness--of protection on the part Of the mas
ter. and of affection on that of the slave--wil
continue, in despite of the fine words of talking
sphilanthropists, or the dirty devices of those
who reduce their theories to practice, by sedu-
cling away and stealing the property Of their
neighbors:
Touching Incidental lady who arrived here
from the South, on Saturday evening, found when
she left New Haven, that her nurse, a coored
woman and slave, was missing. She could not
account for il, and her friends suggested that she
had availed herself of the opportunity to secure
her freedom; but she did not believe t,and thought
the train on Monday would bring her. And sure
enough, on Monday she appeared. II seems that
in changing cars at New Haven, she went back
after something that one Of the children had for
gotten, and so was left behind. And the faithful
creature finding herself left, and only intent.o on
reaching her mistress, Immediately started off,
following the railroad track as her guide, and
sleeping out that night, pushed on all day Sunday
slept out the next night, and reached here Mon
day morning about ii o'clock, haping travelled The

The Webster Case

Has assumed yet another phase After con-
Tossing his guilt, ina statement which will be
found in our columns to-day, DR.. Webster has
thrown himself on the mercy Of the Governor
and Committee on Pardons who are now con-
sidefing his petition. Every appliance which
ingenuity could bring to bear, or sympathy ex-
ert, have been employed by him to avert the
doom his crime has invoked-whether yainly or
not, will soon be seen. The Boston Aids of
the 9th inst, gives the following information in
relation to the last movement made in this
matter: . n s.s & AS PHI
On Friday afternoon, Mrs. Webster appeared
before Lieut.. Gov. Reed, chairman Of the COM
mittee on pardons, fol the purpose Of making an
explanation in relation to the first petition sent in

innocence, and his absolute ignorance how the
fragments Of DIR. Parkman's remains became
concealed within his premises. She stated that
he prepared the petition solely at her urgent so.
icitations, and expressed her most solemn belief
that he never would have sent in such document
but for her persevering opportunities. She also
attempted to speak of the feelings of the family
in consequence of the depIorable calamity which
has come upon them, but she was unable TO speak
upon the terrible topic with any distinctness.
Three of her daughters were with her, and two
Of them attempted to speak, but could not pro-
coed beyond very few words.
This painful scene over, the Lieut.. Governor
called the committee together, and, in a session
with closed doors, the Rev. DIR. Putnam, present
by request of some members Of the committee,
was called upon to offer some explanation, if he
had any, respecting some points not distinctly
touched upon in the hearing ON Tuesday last.
Without coming to any decision, the committee
rose, and the council subsequently adjourned over
till Monday.
