THE CHRISTIANA OUTRAGE.

This terrible affair shows what infammable
elements lie hidden beneath the quiet surface Of
society. From our point of view we readily
take its most important bearings.
First of all, we are forced to mark the essen
tial wrong of the institution which claims men
as property, and so arrays the noblest instincts
of our nature against the law Of the land
In the second place, we cannot admire or
approve the conduct of those persons who push
to extremities their legal rights, and who in
lict with their aggressions peaceful communi-
ties that would be unwilling to interfere ag-
gressvely. with their neighbors in other see
tons of the land. Granting the binding force
of the obnoxious law, we by no means allow
that men are obliged to insist upon their legal
rights to the utmost Certainly the Christian
slaye-owner-and such men there are-should
think well of the prayer, forgive us our debts
as we forgive our debtors before they demand
their pound of flesh at the hands of people,
most of whom look upon the whole transaction
with horror. -Chnsida Inquirer

SHOCKING MURDER.

William Wells, private in the marine corps
went out with two or three others ON a gun
ming excursion. An alteration arose between
him and n youth, named Samuel Mundell
whose fowling-piece he desired, during which
the latter raised his gun in menacing posi-
ton, when Wells rushed upon him, and having
wrested the gun from him, retreated a little,
cooked the piece, took deliberate aim, and dis
charged the contents into the side Of Mundell's
neck The boy Immediately died. The jury
returned the following verdict That the said
Samuel Mundell, aged fourteen years, came to
his death from gun-shOt wound in the left
shoulder, fired from a gun in the hands of
William Wells marine. ON the evening of
Wednesday Sept II, 1851; the said Wells
having fred at the said hlUndell whilst under
the influence Of passion: the said gun being
wrested from the hands of said Mundell by
Wells previous to his firing
We understand that Wells was formerly in
the marine corps, and that he re-enlisted ON the
10th of June last. The records of the adiu-

pOSTMASTERS COMMISSIONS.

We learn that many applications have been
made by postmasters to the Post Office Depart
ment, for increase Of compensation under the
late law reducing the rates of postage and hav-
ing obtained copy Of letter, addressed by
such an application, we publish it below, for the
information of such postmasters as may feel in
terested in the matter.-Repubfic.
PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT
appointment Office, Sept IS, 1851
SIR Yours of the It'll instant, relative Ia
the commissions of postmasters under the late
law for the reduction of postage &c, has been
received
The Postmaster General il authorized by the
9th section of the act in question to increase
the commissions of postmasters under certain
circumstances viz:
At all post Offices where the labor of the post
masters shall be increased, and the commissions
fall below the amount allowed for the fiscal
year ending the 3Oth Of June, 1881, the Post
master General may in his discretion increase
the postmasters' commissions, but the commits
sions allowed must not in the aggregate, exceed
by more than twenty per cent. the commissions
OF the year last mentioned and in no case can
such commissions be increased beyond such
amount
After the quarterly returns and accounts for
the first quarter of the year commencing on the
LIST Of July, 1851 shall have been received and
examined, some uniform rule or general regua-
ton will be adopted in regard TO such commits
sions, with the view OF giving proper compen-
sation for the increased labor III any) imposed
upon the postmasters by the operation Of the
late law, and the modified regulations which
are expected TO be issued before such law goes
into effect. 10 is believed that until these ac-
counts and returns are received tho Postmaster
General will not have sufficient evidence Of the
practical operation Of the new law and regula-
tons to enable him to prescribe the necessary
rules for determining when and 10 what extent
extra allowances shall be made, and no final or
decisive action can be had until such evidence
il procured. Postmaster will, however, he

OF hostages actually yeeeiped at their respective
Offices. and insert them in the account current
A. heretofore, and Whatever extra allowance
NAV he made will be entered by the Auditor in
separate credit in the general account
