Col. W. j. MINoR,-0ur neighbor of the Courier il
rather rash in publishing gallant wings us deserters 1t

and popular felowetizen, Col Minor thus re1udiates
its free and unjust use or abuse of his name:
NEW RIVER, August Q, 1852
CHAs. NJ. WATERMAN, EsQ.,
President Scott Rangers, New0reans:
DEAR SiRMy attention has been called to an article in
the " Louisiana Courier of the 30th utmo headed
Changes in which the editor quotes from letter writ
ten by gentleman in this parish who after much houied
commentator asserts that of the wings of AS
censon who will not support Scott for President This is
error and as it has been published with parade
it ought perhaps to be corrected 1t is true the writer
has hoped that the wings would have hnnored
the Presidential chair. As Southern man a Union man
and as an American. he disappointed that Mr. Web
ster did not receive the nomination OF the National Wing
Convention, for the Presidency Nevertheless he will
give the nominees of the Convention hearty support
he believes fourft of those will do who mentioned
in the article referred to- seceers from the wg ranks
With all the erudition literary taste and horse
which the correspondent of the Courier kindly
credit must confess myself at loss understand
how gentlemen, who wings principle
vote the wing ticket merely because the nominees
not the men they would have selected Still less !
comprehend how they VOTE the democratic ticket and
aid in carrying out measures and sustaining principles
against which they have warred for years,
Those who hesitate TO support Gen, Scott because of
honest doubts as to soundness the Compromise Acts
can have those doubts removed by reading Gen Qutan
letter, in the Natchez Trader of 24th nit on
that subject. In the letter. he says from
SCOTS being controlled by Seward. no man not the
whole whg party could control Scott against his convr
| tons" Thus. it is that Gen Quitman, with the
rankness ever characteristic Of soldier has pub
hcS expressed his opinion of the sondness Of the wing
nominee, on the southern question and scorns to en-
aorse even by silence the ISLANDERS that have pub
shed against his old commander and brother in arms
| Very respectfully, W j. MINOR,

THE RECENT TERRIBLE MURDER AT ST. JosEPm-The st
Louis Union of the 9Th inst says


few days since published article relative to an
outrage recently committed in St Joseph Since which
time We have been able to CLEAN the following particulars
Three men Langston, Jennings and Anderson who are
suspected have been arrested and lodged in Jail The
evidence in the goes to show that Willard the muir
dered man was taken, handcuifed from his store at ten
o'clock Tuesday, the 2lt ult and conveyed through
the most frequented streets Of the to wood in the
neighborho0d He then tied to tree and whipped
till about O'Clock, when the murlerers were so IA
tgued that they deemed it necessary and come
into town, for the purpose of procuring refreshments
After drinking at several houses they returned to their
hendish work Willard exhibited symptoms of ex-
hauStion, and it becoming apparent that he could not
survive much longer. he instantly killed by knocking
him the head with club. These proceedings were
witnessed by two persons who an ndioin-
ing enclosure The body deposited thicket near
by, where it intended to be kept till night when an
opportunity would be offered Of sinking it in the river
Very fortunately however Of the daboi-
cal affair the knowledge Of the citizens and pre-
vented this plan of concealment 1t easy believe
that the murderers would start 4 report that Willard
after being whipped, had jumped into the river and
drowned
The citizens, whose indignation scarcely knew any
bounds would have lynched the guilty parties on The
spot but for the law and order sentiments advocated by
many Of the influential residents Of Joseph The
cused with the all q their money the services
OF the best counsel in the town, and this account
feared that they may escape from suffering neritcd
punishment. The sheriff OF Buchanan county. who is
