CoNvICrIoN FOR MURDER.-Thomas Kennedy,
an old man, near 60 years of age was convicted at
the last term Of the Hancock County Court, for
the murder of Sarah Hudson his daughter, and
sentenced to confinement at hard labor in the Stale
Prison for the term of his natural life. The evil
dence, although crcumstantial, clearly established
this as q most wilful and premeditated murder
son, under the cover OF night, and deliberately
shot his daughter dead in her own house, 1t was
found that this unnatural and brutal father had
harbored deadly malice towards his daughter for
years. BY some provision in late statute, the
jury, in their discretion, are authorized, in such
cases. to substitute confinement for life, in place Of
the death punishment. Indiana Stale Sentinel.

SWAMP LANDS AND COMMON SCHooLs.-The
Convention to frame new Constitution of Indiana,
decided that the proceeds of certain swamp lands
designated, should form a part of the Common
School fund. If the Constitution shall be adopted,
this donation will be a munifcent one to accom-
plish glorious purpose. By the returns already
made to the Governor it is ascertained that these
lands will contribute to the school fund of the State
from half to three-quarters of million of dollars,
The judcious use of these funds will wipe out from
Indiana associations the burning disgrace that, in
brief paragraph, has lately been exposed to the
world, in the summing up how many Of her citizens
can neither read nor write.

silent persons from the non-slavehoding States,
who come to The District in the winter, for the

classes of the population, and therefore solicit the

The grave question will here be presented to
the Legislature, whether the prohibition is sought
against trading and all kinds of duck shooting, or
simply against duck shooting and all kinds of trade
This linking together the pursuits of trading YAM

The VIcKsBURG AND SELMA RAILROAD
The delegates who represent this route have been
received as members of the Convention. Their
address has already appeared in several of the city
papers, and we therefore do not feel it necessary

in the construction Of road which runs through
the fertile cotton country lying between the Mis-
sissippi and Alabama Rivers. A large portion oil
this country now sends its products to Mobile for a
market. The construction Of this road would bring
to New Orleans all of this large and rapidly in
creasing business. II good wishes would build
the road, the gentlemen should find it done when
they reached home. Seriously, this road is one
which may well share with the Jackson and the
Opelousas roads.

THE GRANARY COUNTY Wayne county,
Ohio, is entitled to the appeation of :" the Granary
County"-if the world should be in competition
1t is tie granary county in Ohio, in the Union, and
would be, secession county Of the Union,
for were it out of the Union it would produce as
largely it does now, although it could not sell its
products quite so well. But to the grain " The
Wooster Democrat states that the number of acres
of wheat harvested in the county last fall accord
ing to the returns of the marshals, 53,420,
and taking twenty eight bushels for the average
per acre, which the Democrat says it has been
clearly ascertaned is below the actual average,
gives an aggregate wheat crop harvested in 1850,
of one million four hundred ninety-ive thousand
seven hundred and sixty bushels The Democrat
adds that no other county, we apprehend, either in
this any other State, taking into consideration
the amount of territory embraced, can show a
parallel result" This gives surplus OF over
100000 bushels for market in a single county
OF Ohio. The growing crop is equally promising

An Unfortunate sister Parish,

Some of the golden lanJs of the Coast are
" rather under water" in more than one sense, at
present 1t is affecting to open neighboring
journal and Gull from the first column that meets
our eyes, such record is shown in the few
selections here taken from the Plaquemine Sentinel
of Saturday last;
Tie FlOod-With but few dry spots here and
there, we understand that the whole OF this Parish
on the left bank OF the river is inundated
The TIE Last Man Of tie DelMge was in
town again yesterday.
Tie CreUasse Not Stopped--In very short
time after our paper was issued last Saturday, the
report reached that the barrier in the crevasse
had given way in the centre to the extent of about
twenty feet, and the water, VIII CHI had lett us,
began to rise again in the OF our town; but it
has not, will not, we presume, reach the height
it did formerly We must here, in justice, take
occasion to say that all concur in the opinion that
Col Spears plan is the correct one and that If he
had been allowed the entire management, the Gre
vase would have been now etfectually stopped.
Col S. has purchased lumber on his account,
and went to the other side of the river, on
Thursday, to close the crevasse at the Point. He
says that he will bet one hundred dollars to ten,
| that he closes it etiectuay a few days.
| At the Bayou Crevasse Messrs. Norbert Mari
neaux, and II. Broussard, the supernendents
| at present we believe, and we earnestly hope their
exertions will prove successful.
| Gardens-The overflow has done considerable
injury to the gardens in vicinity destroying
| vast quantity of vegetables. We trust, however,
that il will discourage the proprietors, but that
they will endeavor to make the best of misfortune
A market without vegetables would present a sorry
appearance.

plenty oil this class of humanity, black or white, in
