and that this idea is sustained by the
fact that nearly all eminent men of

Right Action of the President.

We are glad TO learn, (says the MIS-
souri, Republican, that the President
has dismissed the Collector of New Or
leans from Office for failing to perform
his duty, in stopping the sailing of the
Pampero without her clearance papers
and with an armed force. So open an
infraction of the law ought not to be per.
mitted under any circumstances. If The
sympalhies of the Collector were with
the invading party, he ought to have Civ
en- his place to some one who would
perform sworn duty.
There are other officers in New Or.
leans equally culpable, and they will,
we doubt not, share the same fate. In q
little while, the Government officers will
not only understand their duty better,
but they will be made to execute it more
promptly. We do no, believe the Pam
pero or any other vessel, will land ano,h-
er invading force from the United States
upon the Island Of Cuba.

Fatal CASUALTY.

1t is our painful duty to record one of
the most affecting occurrences, resulting
in the death of ore of our most esteemed
cilizens, which has ever happened. Mr..
William Stocks, while on a hunting ex-
cursion on Saturday, accidenlly shot him
self, and expired Immediately. The cir.
cumsiances as near as we have been able
to lesrn, are as follows: Mr.. Cook, Mr..
Stocks, and couple of boys were in a
wagon on their wav from the Bankslon
settlement TO this city, and espying pig
con. Mr.. Stocks drew up his double bar
rel gun and fired al it--and bringing The
gun to his side and proceeding to reload
the barrel he had discharged, the other
barrel exploded and lodg ed heavy
charge OF shot in his left side--he threw
his hands upa and exclaimed 10 the agonies
of death, MY God!' fell over OIL, of the
wagon and was corpse. It's supposed
by those in company with him, iha,
when he drew his gun up 10 shoot the
pigeon, he cooked both barrels and in the
exciiemen, of The moment forgot that ne
had done so.
A most worthy and estimable young
man has been snatched from earth to
judgemeni--hs death is deeply lamented
by our citizens. This should be warn
ing to those who are in the habit Of using
fire arms, to handle them with great care.

Col, Crittendesi.

As The public has iel. much interest to
know something of the personal history
OF The late Col. CIittenden, one of the un-
fortunate victims who was shot at Ha
vana, lady friend, who knew him well,
informs US that he was the second son of
The Hon. Henry Crttenden, late of Shell
by county, Ky. His mother was a
daughter of the lamentable Col. Allen,
who fell at the battle Of I'ippecanoe, and
she is now the wife of Col. hurry, of
Cloverpor,. Ky. Mrs. Allen, the grand.
mother Of young Crittenden, was daugh-
ter of Gen. Logan, one of the most distin.
guished Of The Kentucky pioneers. Col.
Crittenden was also cousin to Col. Har-
din, of Illinois, who so CALAMITY fell at
Buena Vista. lie was graduate of West
Point, and a, tie time of his death was
abort thirty years of age. He was
nephew of the Hon. John j. Critlenden,
the Attorney General OF the United
States, and we learn was young man
of brilliant qualities and of much prom
Use. He had in his veins, some of the
best blood of Kentucky, both on his faith
er's and mothers side, and it is greatly
to be deplored, that he has met SO sad
fate.-M. Louis Mteligeneer.

tract of land was purchased for their SET

to remain in the country. The MAORI
