A TRAolcAL AFrAIR.-.d man shot by tcor,an
I'VE learn from the Marion (Ala.) Common
wealth, that on the night of the Gath ult., man
by the name of r. ]. Morse was shot and Instantly
killed, by Mrs. Sarah Ann Stillman, the wife Of
John A. SULLIVAN, who is by trade apanter. Morse
was carpenter, and leaves wife and four chill
dren. The Commonwealth says:
Mr.. Stillman resided in small house, near the
walls Of the new Female Seminary building, now
in the course Of erection in Marion Morse had
been at work or the new building. Mr.. Stillmun
was absent, while his wife and three small chill
dren were left at home by themselves. The re-
port of the gun aroused the neighbors-who, upon
repairing to the spot, found the gun Of Mr.. Still
man lying on the floor, with one barrel empty,
a hole through pane Of glass, and Morse on the
outside, dead, with shocking wound over the
right eye, his face bIackened with powder, and
his brains literally "blown out"
II is truly tragical affair. Mrs. Stillman is a
small and very delicate female, and we are sure
that she must have believed her honor and per-
haps her life, in great peril, before she could have
been induced TO take gun even into her hands.
So fearfuy alarmed was she, that she fled from
the house in her night dress, after firing the gun,
leaving her children where they were found and
conveyed to her at the neighbours, where she had
taken refuge.
We learn from q private source, that great ex-
element prevailed the next day, and that public
opinion fully justified Mrs. Stillman. Fg

CENSUS OF NORTH CARoLNA-The Raleigh
Register has partial returns Of the recent United
States census, from which il Judges that, in the
new apporti0nment, North Carolina will lose in
her representation in the Federal Congress 1t
says: hN ff
''From the complexion Of these returns, we
think it certain that North Carolina will lose
two members of Congress. Assuming the
population Of the country to be at present, as is
gener,lly calculated, 23,OO0,OO0, and there being
233 members of the House of Representatives,
the apportionment for ench member will, OF
course, be 100000. According to present indi-
cations, the white population of the State, under
the present census, will number (as near as we
are warranted in calculating) about $50 900
slaves 100000 free persons of color 35,O0O.-
In lS40, Gin round numbcrs) whites 100000
slaves 2i50OO, and free colorcd persons 80 900
Adding TO the white population, in 1850, three
fifths, &c., we have, as the federal population
745,O00--entitling us 10 but seven members OF
Congress.

FRENCH SroLIATIoS CLAMs--Tbe Philadel-
dhia Ledger says, that the merchants of that
city, who are propretors of large proportion
of the French claims prior to 1900, have again
presented their long deferred demands to the
consideration of Congress, with firm belief Of
obtaining final justice, and the face Of many a
weather-beaten old sea captain lights up with
Joy at the thought, that debt assumed by sour
own Government" fifty years ago, will yet be
paid OF all contracts treaty stipuations nre
the most sacred; and this claim is doubly guar
anteed first, by the faith of treaties, which Sc
cured us peace with France, at most eventful
period Of our history; and secondly by the Con-
stituton, which provides indemnity for all pri-
vate property taken for the public use. More
than half the legislatures Of the States have
adopted resolutiaus invoking the payment of
these claims by Congress, and Congress has
passed an net to pay them, which was vetoed by
President Polk. As tardy justice is better than
its total denial, the present Congress will no
doubt terminate this long postponed indemnity
for domestic spoliatiou. Bah. American.

From the H,rnandO miss ) People, J. Press,

The "higher law" party at the North seem
bent upon carrying ont the mad fanaticism OF
their mock philanthropy, to the utter disregard
of the Fugitive slave law, and the constitutional
rights of the South. The peace measures, 80
called, are not worth the paper it took TO cngross
them on. If any one doubts this, all we have
to say is he had better take the papers, and read
them when he gets them Submission smells
rank Of treason to home rights, and the glorious
Union is fast getting to be only MS thing that
was--of course we mean in spirit.

French gentlemen, who simultaneously, and with

chloroform is an antiseptic of marvellous virtue,

promptly checking it if already commenced

subjected to its action, become fixed for long
period of time in the precise form and condition

expected in the preservation Of military and
naval stores, animal food in sea voyages, and its
applicability to variety of other useful pur-

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser contains
the following curious article

the following curious article:
THE New PARrY.-We have seen good deal
said in certain papers about preparations for the
organization Of new party. 1t was, however,
reserved for George A. s. Croe ker, Of Cattarau-
gus, in his recent speech at Elc0ttve, to reveal
the character Of the movement and some of the
particulars. He says:
"Let me tell you, fellow citizens. there will be
another party. We shall then see mighty party
composed Of the equal rights Of mankind In that
party you will find Seward and the Wing friends
offreedom! and when the call shall be made to
separate the goats Of oppression from the lambs
Of freedom, they will be found on the side Of
justice and liberty There too, with them, let me
repeat, will be found the great Wing party Of the
home Of the free There, too, will be found the
freesoil Democracy Of the country And there, in
the same grand army, humble as lam, shall Ibe
found, doing battle !"
The Syracuse Journal, paper of the same pol
itics with Mr.. Croker in its issue of later date
than the delivery of the speech above quoted, goes
still farther. Addressing the Albany Atlas, the
Journal proposes union in plain terms. 1t says
Gift be in earnest, let IT. part or the legislature
and Of the State officers unite tcih the Wigs (of
the Journal stamp) in the adoption Of such proper
measures as shall be Judged expedient to secure
the rights ofall the citizens Of the State"
The measures It proposes, ito secure the rights
Of all the citizens Of the State" are such as will
nuIlify the law Of Congress in relation to the re-
clamation Of Fugitive slaves, in imitation Of Yer
mont.

Tho Pre.sdent and tho Party In New Yorl

Tho President and the Party In New York
We take the following ominous editorial from
the Rochester Daily Advertiser. 1t shows how
thoroughly the two late parties have been dis
organized. AS regards the question touching
the New York legislature, Quicn sabe!
WILL THE Wines SUSTAIN THE PRESIDENT
Quite spirited little controversy has been
going on for week past, among the Wing
brotherhood, in relation 10 proposition Of some
of their number Originating, we believe, with
our neighbovs of the American,) that the incon,-
ing legislature should pass resolutions approx.
ing of the course of President Fillmore, in sane.
tioning the compromise measures of the last
session of Congress, and his subsequent efforts
to carry out those measures. This proposition
operates like fire-brand among the Seward
Wings of this State From the futtering OF
the Evening Journal, and the savage onslaught
of the Tribune, and the Ginning in Of the lesser
organs Of that stamp, it is quite evident that il
it will raise as pretty a breeze as has been wit
messed since the Fillmore Wings boIted from
the endorsement of Seward, at their State con-
vention.
Whether the special friends Of the President
will be brow beaten ont of their attempt to en-
dorse his course, remains to be seen. If they car
so far humiate themselves and the President, as
to succomb to clustering faction, headed by
such worthless as the editor Of the Tribune, they
and their chosen standard bearer, must bear the
disgrace.
If the political friends of the President, in his
own State, have not the nerve to stand by him,
to whom is he to look for support! To the
Democracy They will readily give him credit
for bis good Deeds but from his manifold po-
litical heresies and SINS good Lord deliver VA :!
But the question is--Wi'l the Wings sustain
the President! We shall see.

Gratis and the Free-soiers, says:
Of the character of this bargain we may be al
lowed, we presume, to express an opinion As
mere question OF the relative value of Tie Off
ces rs parcelicd out, the Free-soilers have the
best of the bargain. Hnd the Democrats been
shrcwd in their . pickering" they might have oh.
tanned all the State Offices in exchange for the
United States Senator. However, this is no
concern Of ours, though we opine that il the ar
rangements are carried out, both parties will,
ere the lapse of twelve months, be sick of their
bargain, and will feel Inundated at the position
in which they are plnccd.
