DANIEL WEBsTER.--We think it prop.
er to state, as we are authurized to do,
that there is no truth in the story circu.
lating through the papers that Mr.. Web.
ster has resigned the office of Secretary
of State either absolutely or contingently
Mr.. Websler's health is now perfectly
Igood-bette lban it has been for long
time; buthe naturally lnoks forward with

gust. He suffered much last year from
the necessity Of spending the hottest par
of the summer IN the Senate, and unit
he took charge of tho Department o
State, which he could not leave unit
some time after Congress adJorned,- =
He hopes by travel and by change of eli
mate to mitigate, If not avert, the attack
of his unwecome visiter the present sea
son. Some Of his medical friends have
advised a sea voyage, and others visit
to the medicinal springs in the Al'egha,
nies of Western Virginia. Mr., Webster
has doubtless said il he should finally con
clude to adopt the fnrmer course, it woul(
probably lead tothe necessity of his leav
ing the Department. This. we believe
states the whole case in regard to The
honorable Secre,ary's intentions; ant
this it is, we presume, out of which ha
sprung tho rumor Of his resignation

WOMEN AS FiELD LABoReEs.-Mr-
Greely, in one of his letters from Savoy,
thus speaks of the condition Of wome n
in that country:
p | think saw quite as many women as
men at work in the fields throughout Sa.
voy. A girl Of fourteen driving aSuke
of oxen attached To a cart, walking bare.
foot beside the team and plying the goad
stick, while a boy Of her own age lay at
length in the cart, is one of my lveliest
recolleclions of Savoyard ways. Nut
brown, unbonneled women, hoeing corn
with an implement between an adze and
pick axe, land not bad implement,
either, for SO rugged and unplowed soil, J
women driving hogs, cows, &C., to aud
from market, we encountered at every
town. So much hard rough work and ex
posure is fatal to every trace Of beauty.
and DO nvt remember to have seen. a
woman in Savoy even moderately gooc
looking, while many were absolutely re
voting. That thisis not Natures fault
! is proved by the general aspect of the
children, who, though swarthy, have oft
! en- good forms and features.

TaE CosDGN MURDERERs.-The Elk-
ton (Md) Democrat says that the Cosden
murderers have made no confession as
yet, but they have been separated flom
each other, and the belief is now enter
,ained by some ofthe citizens chichester
town that Taylor will ultimately make
confession, audadds:- ...
"a party from Baltimore, on the .4th of
July. approached the jail, and with oaths
and insults, called loudly for the prisoner.
Taylor approached the window. and re-
turned their oaths with Interest, declar
ing that he would make havoc among
them, if he were at liberty, and free from
bis manacles. .
at is very propable that some "f those
same r0wdies will soon find themselves
in similar condition 20 that of the untor'
tunate prisoners"

"Vesuvius is now calr'Iy smoking, AMI

ExcITEMENT AT LEXINGTON. - Man
slot By Woman. We learn by pas,
sengers from Lexington, that something
like tragedy came near being enacted
at that place on Monday of last week.
A short time since, a young lady Of some
fifteen years, Miss Merrill, ran off with
man named Harper, and was married.
More recently, some difficulty having la
ken place between the parties. the man
stated publicly that the marriage was a
sham aud cast reflections on the .harac
ter of his wife. Incensed ,hereat aud
burning with desire for revenge, the in
jured lady begged her brotherin law to
resent the insult. Failing To comply with
her wishes, the resolu,e female took the
matter in her own hands. She procured
pistols, aud having familiarized herself
with their use, she sailed out in quest of
her husband. Meeting him on Main
street, she DIRE " the weapon, and placing
it as his head, pulled the trigger. In her
hurry and agitation size had only half
cocked it, and it would not eo off. In an-
other moment, it was properly fixed and
discharged, but the maniu the meantime
turned round, the contents, consisting of
three buckshot, only grazed his arm and
back, inAicting flesh wounds without do
ling any serious damage. Thinking she
had killed him, tho lady gave herself in
charge of magistrate, but soon ascer
tanning he was only slightly hurt, she
drew another pistol and started after him
again. He lad employed his time To
good advantage, however aud succeeded
in making his escape and securing him
self The citizens of Lexington were
so incensed against him, that in order to
avoid being ynched, he fled the city that
night. -LouisriHe Courier.

MoRE OF IT.-The Charleston Mercury
contains the proceeding of halfa dozen
celebrations on the Fourth of July, which
took place al as many different points in
the interior Of the State. They are all
characterized with the same disunion
spirit which was manifested in the city Of

in sentiments opposed to the Constitution
