The Kent County Massacre.

HAWKE DE URACE, April 10, . p M.
There has been great excitement here to day, in
consequence of the arrival of an officer from Ches.
tertowu, who Immediately proceeded to arrest
man named Nicholas Murphy, the charge of
being OF the murderers of the CoSden family,
at the Georgetown Cross Roads, in Kent county.
1t will be remembered that man named 'fhos.
Drummond was arrested in Cecil county. about
the first of March, on suspicion OF having been
| connected with the murder, and lodged in Jail,
where he has remained ever since. The evidence
against him was, that on Wednesday evening, Goth
ntt., the day of the massacre, he disappeared from
the neighborhood suddenly, and without assigning
any cause for his departure, and could give no sat-
isfactory account of his movements during the in
lerval.
He alleged that he lodged at the house of a man
| named Ford, (who lives in the neighborhood Of
Black Bird on the night of the murder, which
declaration Ford c0rroborated, but stated that
Drummond did not arrive at his house until late
hour of the night One of the pockets of his pant
aloous bore the distinct impression of bloody
hand Murphy, the man arrested here to-day,

ANNEXATION MEETING IN LAFAYETTE, La
A goodly number OF the citizens of Lafayette
assembled together Saturday night last, to
deliberate " for the public good" and in conse-
quence of the resolution of the Mayor and Alder
men, on the subject to take the sense of the cit
the question Of annexation to NewOrleans.
There several set speeches and good many
statements made, but very little argument en-
ployed. The speakers were nearly equally divided
for and against annexation. 1t appeared that the
debt of Lafayette about $455000, and that
while the annual receipts were about met by the
expenditures taxation already up to the highest
| notch to which the people could stand it.
The most impressive argument of the night was
one made by the most "goodly, portly man, faith,
and corpulent," in all Lafayette, who was strong
annexationst, and said that man could MT live in
Latayette-a citizen had neither public nor private
credit there he had been trying for years to earn
living, but could MT do it he ought to do it
HE looked if he had never missed meal "
" Let us, however" said he, become a part and
parcel OF New Orleans, and industry will get its
reward trade will thrive, and will have all the
benefit Of our advantages and unlimited"
The meeting accepted memorial to the Counci
to reconsider and rescind their resolution in refer
ence to annexation evidence of their opinion
which was largely signed The Council it is UNI
dersood, will treat it favorably, and annexation will
come up, on a future occasion, free from politica
excitement.

Slave one adult person., name unknown, and one
child of John O'Donnel, deceased, went to sleep
under the influence Of liquor While asleep the
house by some means caught fire, and the roof
falling in every of the inmates, twelve in num-
Der, met with horrible death. The Argus says ::
+" TIL spectacle presented to the persons who first
reached the scene of the disaster horrible and
distressing in the extreme. No sound was heard
save the Kissing of the FIRE, and crash of falling
timbers, every member of the family having already
expired but through the burning chnks of the
house, the bystanders could discern the still un-
consumed bodies of the occupants. There lay the
mother with the body of her dead infant still
clasped to her oosom to which the little sufferer
had chung in tie last agones of this horrible DEATH
the bright flames shooting even from the eye
sockets Of the unfortunate mother. sad sad
house-warming it proved to be, indeed. The
charred remains OF eleven persons have been found
amid the ruins, while it is known that one child is
lost, whose remains have not been discovered"
A coroners jury rendered verdict in accordance
with the above facts.

Beale's Hotel, for three persons. AT the moment
it was ready, Commodore Decatur, having walked
from his house, arrived, and partook OF IT with
us. As soon as it over, we proceeded IN our
carriage towards Bladensburg. AT break asst he
mentioned that he had paper with him, which he
wished to sign, (meanng his willy but that it
required three witnesses, and as it would not do to
call in any person for that purpose, he would defer
it until we arrived at the ground He was quite
cheerful and did not appear to have any desire to
take the life Of his antagonist; indeed, he declared
that he should be very sorry to do so.
On arriving at valley, half mile short Of Ba-
densburg we halted, and found Captain Elliot
standing in the road, on the brow OF the hill beyond
us. Commodore cambridge and myself walked
up and gave him the necessary information, when
he returned to the village. In a short time, Com
modore Barron Captain Elliot, his second, and Mr..
Latimer arrived on the ground, which was meas
ured, (eight long strides,) and marked by Commo-
dore cambridge, nearly north and south, and the
seconds proceeded to load. Commodore Balm
bridge won the choice Of stands, and his friend
chose that to the north, being few inches lower
than the other.
On taking their stands, Commodore cambridge
told them observe, that he should give the words
quick, Present one, taco, three J" and that they
were not at their peril to fire before the word oms,
nor after the word three was pronounced. Com
modore Barron asked him if he had any objection
to pronouncing the words as he intended to give
them. He said that he had not and did So
Commodore Barron, about this moment, observed
to his antagonist, that he hoped, on meeting in
another world, they would be better friends than
they had been in this to which Commodore Deca-
tur merely replied, :" | have never been your
enemy, sir" Nothing further passed between
them previous to firing. Soon after, Commodore
cambridge cautioned them to be ready, crossed
to the left of his FRIEND and gave the words OF
command, precisely as before; and at the word
tho, they both fired, nearly together that but
report was heard.
They both fell nearly at the same instant. Com
modore Decatur was raised and supported short
distance, and sank down near to where Commodore
Barron lay and both of them appeared to think
themselves MORALLY wounded Commodore Barron
declared that every thing had been conducted in
the most honorable manner, and told Commodore
Decatur that he forgave him from the bottom of his
heart. Soon after this, number of gentlemen
coming up, went after our carriage, and assisted
in getting him into it; when, leaving him under
the care of several of his intimate friends Commo-
dore cambridge and myself left the ground and
as before agreed upon, embarked on board the ten
der of the Columbus at the Navy Yard.
1t is due to Commodore cambridge to observe,
that he expressed his determination to lessen the
danger to each, by giving the words quick, with a
hope that both might miss. and that then their
quarrel might be amicably settled.

PARADEs ON THE SABBATH We believe in
the largest liberty. If officers and men think the
Sabbath suitable day for parades, we have no
disposition to interfere with their amusements
But then, on the other hand, we think these per-
should not unnecessarily interfere with othe
peoples enjoyments. Yesterday, while DR.. Neville
was reading sermon to the Sunday School chill
dren a band of music passed mp Dauphin street,
and down Canal, giving the congregation the BEN
eft OF very spirit-stirrng tune, which for time
drowned the voice of the reverend preacher, and
distracted the attention of the congregation. Now
we suggest to the persons having control of such
matters, that it would be an act of good breeding
to avoid disturbing the religious services of any
congregation. This can be very easily done, as
the places public of worship not nu-
merous in town as to put military or fire company
to much trouble in avoiding them.
In Natchez, few years since, military com.
pany passed the courthouse with mus c playing
while the Judge was on I he bench. He instantly
ordered the Sheriff to arrest the Captain, gave him
severe reprimand, and inflicted fine. He said
the fact that military duty was imposed by law
offered no excuse for disturbing court.
The same remarks may apply with equal force
to the disturbance of religious congregations on
the Sabbath.
We think the Municipal Councils might well
pass ordinances prohibiting such disturbance on
the Sabbath.

THE MOBILE MURpER.-The accounts of the
murder of Hernandez, the old Cuban cigar manu-.
facturer in Mobile are fresh in the recollection
The trial of Eugenio ARIZONA and Inez Estrada
charged with his murder, came on in Mobile on
Friday last. Great difficulty found in empan-
cling a jury. After the special venire of one
hundred men, and the regular panel of twenty-four
more had been exhausted, the Sheriff had to &c
into the street for fresh supply.
These and other delays caused by objections,
and grounds of postponement of the trial taken by
the prisoners counsel, were at length overcome,
the case proceeded to evidence.
The jury found both prisoners guilty of murder
in the first degree, and sentenced them to the PEN
itentiary for life.

THE Boston ALDERMEN AND Mr.. WEBSTER
The Boston Common Council have adopted resolu-
tons censuring the Board of Aldermen for their
refusal of Fanueil Hall for Mr.. Websers use, and
expressive of the qualification it would have afforded
them to have heard him speak there in defence of
law, order, the constitution and the Union. In a
letter declining to address the people at tine time,
Mr. Webster says he cares nothing for the refusal,
personally except his regret that he should have
been deprived of the pleasure of meeting the citi-
zens of Boston. He remarks that the same body
who refused to join with others in extending an
invitation to President Fillmore have denied him
the privilege of being heard in Fanueil Hall. The
Council have appointed committee to invite Mr.
Webster to address the citizens at future day
and also to request Mr.. Fillmore to visit Boston.

UNFAvoRABLE WEATHER FOR CoTroN.--The
Augusta tGa) Republican of the 22d says that the
weather for week had been cold, it had no doubt
that the vegetation and growth of cotton had been
greatly retarded throughout the cotton region 1t
seems to be the general opinion of the planters that
cotton had better be under than above the ground
during such unreasonable weather. We are in
formed that what cotton is up looks seriously in
jured. The red leg" "sore shin," and various
other diseases have affected its growth, and rem
dered the prospect of good stand very unfavorable
