ANOTHER Mock AUCTION Sw1NDLE.-
Some few days since, Mr. John Miller of
Kingston, Canana West, arrived in the city
on his way to Australia, and put up at
Frenchs Hotel. On Saturday last, while
passing near Tammany Hall, he was at
tracted by the cry of "going," going"
into an auction shop, where one McAlpine
was crying offs watch which he warrant
ed to be gold. This watch was knocked
down to one of the " Peters" belonging to
the concern, for SIS, but the fellow pre-
tended that he had no money, and asked
Mr.. Milltr to pay the debt for him, and he
would refund the money after going a few
steps down Nassau street. Mr.. Miller paid
the money, but no sooner had he done so,
when another Peter" approached, and
pretended TO be matchmaker, gave il rs
his opinion that the watch just purchased
was worth no more than SO, and stated
that it was galvanized.
The first peter" then pretended to
feel very angry at the auctionecr for cheat
ing him, and proceeded to raise "muss,"
but the matter was apparently settled by
the auctionccrcr putting up genuine gold
watch, upon which the indignant Peter +"
was given the privilege of bidding, with
the understanding that the diffcrancc be-
tween this and the Sl5 being paid by
him, he should be privileged to return the
latter. AT this point of proceedings, Mr..
Miller demanded the $l5 which he had
paid for the first watch. 1t was refused
and strange to suy, he was prevailed upon
to pay thiriy.Gve dollars more as the diff
f-rence in the value of the two Watches
Mr.. Miller being still further victmized, ap-
piled for redress to Justice Bogart, who is
sued war; INT for four of the Peters"
two ofwhom, named McAlpine and Jones,
were yesterday arrested, and held for en-
animation. The others are yet at large.

ureenough, the worst fears were confirmed
A man was seen in his night clothes, with
candle in one hand and heavy iron
poker in the other-his Unlocking features
clearly indicating the bloody deed in which
he was engaged-the blood was seen
covering the floor of the chamber, and
the whole room presenting scene which
left not doubt on the minds OF the
terrified outsiders that most horrible
deed of blood had been committed at
that late and silent hour of the night.
lmpatence was at an end to know the
worst. To rescue the poor victim and
save life, if possible, and to secure at
once the murderer, the door was immedi-
ately forced open, when, horrible to be-
hold, there lay upon the floor, weltering
in her blood, the liteless body of a female,
her cruel assassin standing over her with
the bloody poker still in his hand, and
who, by way classification for his bloody
deed, exclaimed as the indignant crowd
entered to arrest him: "Well, miss, l
don't think shall be troubled again

The CUDAN INvADERs.-The Spanish
Minister at Washington has called the at
tention of the Executive Department of
the Government to the new organizations
that are forming for another Invasion of
Cuha. The Washington correspondent of
the New York Courier, in announcing the
alarm of the Spanish Minister, adds:
'Spain will contest the possession of
Cuba, rs it is her just right to do, at erery
hazard, and Cjth ercry means of defence
that can be procured by her ocn resources,
or i need be, by alliance riM other pow-
cT&. a vigorous policy has been ordered,
and the Captain General Of the Island, in
obedience to instructions, under the APP
pretended revolt and invasion, has direct
ed that every person taken with arms in
his hands against the authorities, shall be
shot within three hours afterwards. A
further order has been issued, that in case
any officer should refuse to execute the
foregoing penalty, he shall be shot in
stamtiy for contumacy. The failure of
our courts to convict the cxpeditionists en-
gagged in the last crusade against Cuba,
has not only encouraged others to repeat
that lawlcss enterprise, but it has created
bad impression abroad as to the ability
Of tie judicial tribunals to administer the
law, IN the face of a morbid state of opin-
ion"

ES- We mentioned yesterday that
arrangements were in progress to transport
goods to Columbia, and we have since
learned thas Mr.. Neuiier, a very energetic
and cnterprising gentleman, and Of ample
responsibility, has undertaken to receive
goods from the South-Carolina Rail Road
at his Turn Out at the Congaree River,
for such merchants as may desire it, which
he will convex in flats or boa,s'a point near
Clarkson's Turns Gu, on the Camden
branch, to which he will haul them in wa
gons and deliver them again to the South
Carolina Rrail Road Company. The
goods will then be reloaded in the Cars
and taken to Columbia. Mr.. Neuffer, bv
the arrangement is responsible to the own
crs of the goods while in his possession.
The responsibility Of the rail road ceases
when they part with the goods, and re-
commences when they come into their
possession at Clarkson's Turn Out. The
freight charged by Mr.. Neuffer, is the same
charged by the rail road, making the
whole freight equal to double the regu-
lar rail road rates. Other merchants will
receive their goods at Lewiston, and haul
them form thence in wagons. The rail
road delivering these goods there as may
be desired.
Similar arrangements most probably
may be made, by the amden and other
merchants-in all Of which the rail road
will readily cooperate.

AN AWFUL CATAsnoPHE.-A deed Of
blood has been enacted in our midst. At
one of our principal hotels, few nights
ago, in the dead and silent hour Of night,
terrible ''noise and confusion" was heard
proceeding from one Of the Sleeping cham
bers in one Of the upper stories, The
boarders were aroused--a rush was made
to the room whence the alarming sound
proceeded. The door was found closed
and -admitance refused--while
the terrified outsiders could distinctly hear
the sound Of blow after blow in quick
succession, evidently with some murderous
weapon. All was CONSERVATION and ex-
element. Some person was evidently
numbering his fellow boarder or an intru-
der into his room at that late hour. An
eye was applied to the key-hole, when

Louis Republican, in noticing Capt. Mar,

capt. Marcy has ROW, we understand,
completed the Typographical examination
and survey of the country on the head
waters of the Red river, and we have no
doubt that the information which he has
obtained will be of very great benefit to
the government in its military operations
on our frontier, and to the people. In this

ty miles from Fort Arbucklc, west, the

world for farming purposes.
The land Is well timbcred with oak,
pecan, and other fine trees; the atmos-
phere pure and healthy as the mountains
of New England, and inviting to the emi
grafton of the white man. Very soon
they will be found there. Game Of every
kind IS abundant; and the command had
excellent sport in killing bears, panthers,
antelopes, butfaloes, &c. The water Of
the Red river, in parts explored by the
expedition, has been condemned on ac-
count of its salty taste, and it has been
generally supposed that there W ere large
beds of salt towards its sources, but this
is found not to be the case. The presence
of gypsum, in large bodies, high up the
river, Is supposed TO give 10 the water this
peculiar flavor, as, above these points, the
water is very pure and agreeable.
Capt. Marcy's reports, when prepared
and embodied for publication, as they
ought to be, will be of great value in Civ
ing information in respect to the soil, eli

QUEEN VICLoRIA's ROYAL SQUApRoX.-
Her majcsty's late trip to Antwerp has
resulted i'll the seizure of considerable
quantity of contraband tobacco, on board
her own yacht, the Victoria and Albert
and the other ships of the squadron. In
formation has been sent to the London
and portsmouth custom house officials of
the purchase Of vast quantities of tobacco
of all kinds at Antwerp, by the people of
the royal squadron, and, in consequence,
measures were taken to effect a seizure.
On the arrival of the Victoria and 1lbert,
on Tuesday .last, at Osborne, the revenue
officers went on board, and commenced a
strict searcb,n which they seized about so
lbs. of tobacco, but which was not so much
as was expected would be found. The other
ships of the royal squadron were also
searched, and considerable quantity of
tobacco was also seized on board them.

LIQUoR SEIZURE IN SpRINGFIELp.-

LIQUoR SEIZURE IN SPRINGFIELD-
Wednesday was prolific ofiquor seizures,
in Springfield. City Marshall Adams
with Assistants Braman, Anns, Allis and
Henry Clarke, visited five places, and made
seizures at each place. The first building
searched was occupied by jeremiah Wha-
len, rs grocery. Four casks of LIQUOR
were seized here, some full of the fluid and
others not, comprising in all sixty gallons,
more or less. The next building searched
was occupied by Richard Stapleton. Here
the officers found part of cask, and two
bottles of liquor, which were taken away.
The Railroad House kept by r. Holmes,
suffered next. Only four bottles of Cham
paignc were seized. John Malden's Spring
field House was then visited and two dem
Johns, one large jug and four or five bot
ties of liquor were seized, besides two or
three dozen of porter, more or less. The
liquor was found secreted in trunks and
chests. George Wallace's yictuallng and
fruit cellar was visited next, the officers
seizing barrel of ale, and small ouanti-
ty OF liquor in demUohn. No resistance
was made in either case, and but little ex-
cltement was created in the vicinity of
the seizures. The liquor remains in the
care of the Marshall, awaiting the decision
OF the law. The several individuals own
ing the liquor were summoned to appear
and answer to the complaint for selling
liquor contrary to the law but all failed
to appear and the hearing was postponed
to Thursday afternoon, at 8 o'clock.
