We learn that a murder committed on Sun
day in Henrlco county, in the neighbourhood Of
the "Mlneral Spring, " under peculiarly aggraya-
ted circumstances A white lad, named Bridgewa-
ter 1t is reported entered the farm of Mrs Gardner
adjoining the Spring, gun hand for the purpose Of
sporting. Being observed by some member of the
family, servant boy directed to approach tie
lad and request him not only desist hunting on the
grounds, but 10 leave the enclosure. The servant
red the message Brdgewater, when Ii is reported
he deliberately raisedhs gun and shot the boy through
the heart These the particulars, as they have
been communicated to us. We trust the whole af-
fair has been exaggerated but fear the worst Our
informant did not learn whether or not the murderer
had been arrested,

THE MURDER ON BROAD STREET

LIE MURDER ON BROAD STREET.
Cudllrp, the murderer has not yet been apprehend-
ed 1t now appears that shortly after committing the
foud deed, he seized horse belonging to phvs clan
In this city, which he found standing in Broad street.
and rode off taking the river road westward from the
CITY, He was pursued by one or two persons, some
distance beyond the limits of the city; but the fleet
ness OF the horse he rode enabled him to escape.
After travelling short distance up the river road he
evidently altered his course and reached the old turn
pike. This is rendered certain from the fact that
about O'Clock Sunday evening, Mr.. Willis w. Cow
ling, gentleman residing about six miles west Of the
Guy, on the old turnpike road, discovered the horse
rode by Cudpp astray in the road and succeeded in
catching him. Now, whether the horse threw Cud-
pp, or whether he abandoned by him for pruden-
tial reasons, are questions which cannot be de.
termlned. Mr.. Cowling, we learn, yesterday brought
the horse to the city and delivered him to his owner.
we have been requested by the officers employed
al the Theatre TO say, that of them the lad
Cudlpp mlsbehaye in the house Saturday evening"

as not to direct the attention of the officers to the c-

The recent fugitive slave case at Syracuse is,
that has occurred since the passage of the present
law. From both. sympathzing and deprecatory
accounts it appears certain that the authorities
and the great body OF the population of the city
countenanced and abeted the outrages of the
overthrow of the law for the time. If such pro-
ceedings are sustained by public sentiment in the
North, they can have no end but to break down
the Union. The successful execution of the flu
gitive law in number of cases, makes us hope
that wholesome opinions, like those so boldly
declared by the New York Express in the article
copied in our columns to day, will ultimately
predominate.

tournament OF the last Congress-, which ought
never 10 be forgotten. We refer TO the statement
made by Judge Butler of South Carolina in a
speech delivered at the Convention of Southern
Rights Associations in Charleston, that disunion
party was in the process Of formation amongst the
Southern members of Congress, when the Legis-
ature of South Carolina, by declaring too soon
for secession, bleo the scheme and the politicians
concerned in it had to abandon it. We shall hunt
up his language in day or two, but, at present.
copy the following extract from another speech
Cor possibly different version of the same)
which we find qNoted in one of the Charleston
papers:
"Isay here, that from the time that prominent men
in Sonh Carolina intmated purpose TO put the State
on the track of separate session in disregard OF the
operation fher neghbos they deprived our real friends
OF the power OF helping us. Ii they did not altogether
ALLEVIATE friends from their devotion 10 the Southern
cause they gave their opponents great advantage over
Them In fact Southern party at Washingonthat was
organizing, dissolved. There now friends IN 9TH
States willing to do all they under the ccun-
OF their situation. / fear they will be driven
to disavow us; when if left TO themselves, lhey
might have pursued course to MAINTAIN tne true
but much abused cause OF the Southern STATES.
Who composed that ''Southern party at
Washington that was organizing r. And what
members of Congress we're they who found it
necessary to give up the project because OF the
precipae haste of South Carolina? 1t is very
we'll known that the two Virginia Senators were
as certainly of the party as any other Senators
from the South and how many of the Demo-
cratic representatives we cannot tell.
