Confession Of the Murder ofthe Winston
Family:

On Saturday evening, about o'clock, tho
Rev. Mr.. Ryland, pastor of the African Bap3
fist Church, of which Jane williams is q
member, visited, and exhorted her to make
her peace with God, as she would undoubt-
eddy be hung. Jane replied that she inten-
ded doing so, and that there was something
on her mind which she wished to tell him.
Thereupon she stated that she alone murder
ed Mrs. Winston and her daughter, and in
ficted the wounds upon Mr. Winston's head
She eXculpated her husband entirely, sta
ting that be was asleep at the time she COM
mitted the bloody deed, and knew nothing
Of its Preparation. She did not go into the
particulars Of the transaction then. Yester-
day, by request, Mr. Starke, her jailor,
questioned her concerning the matter, and
she also made full and prompt confession
to him of the particulars of the transaction.
She said that aiittie before daybreak, and
In advance of her usual hour of rising, she
rose without disturbing her husband, pro-
cured the broad-edged hatehet, entered the
house, proceeded to Mr.. Winston s room, and
commenced her fendish labors by knocking
Mr. Winston senseless. He scarcely strug-
gled. On leaving him, she stepped around
the bed, and commenced cutting into the
head of Hrs. Winston. Her struggles were
50 great, that Jane says she inflicted strong
er and more frequent blows upon her head
than she did upon Mr.. WIS, in order to ST.
lence her quickly. She then killed the in
FAINT, washed off the blood, and laid it in the
cradle. She then washed the blood off of
the Ratchet, hid it, and then gave the alarm.
Jane further stated that she considered she
had been brooding over her bloody revenge
for some time. The DEVIL she stated, had
such possession Of her last Monday morning,
that she believed she could have went fur
ther than she did, if necessary. She denies
stealing the watch and clothing as our repor-
ter understood. She will probably reiterate
her confession in full on Tuesday next, when
brought up for trial.-Rich. Dispatch 26 inst

SCOTT AND TAYLOR CoNTRsTED.-The
Portland Maine) Argus, in referring to the
silly statement of the wings that there was
as much trouble about Taylor's nomination
as SCOTS, says
"Taylor had all the wings of the South.
Scott has hardly enough of them to make a
corporaPs guard.
"Taylor protested to be no-party man,
and so took good many easy-minded dem
ocrats. Scott is an out-and-out wing, and
cannot therefore expeettO go beyond strict
party vote.
"Taylor was in the hands of men in whom
both North and South, of the aohiy party,
had confidence Scott is under the control
of Seward and Greeley and others of the milk
and molasses hue, in whom nobody has the
slightest faith.
"Taylor had the advantage of a widespread
dissatisfaction in the democratic ranks at the
North Scott has to meet those ranks reu-
nited
'Taylor was all things to all men. Scott
is nothing to nobody
'1n short, Taylor whipped by the force
of union and humbug. Scott will be whip
ped by the force of union in spite of hum:
bug"

Georgia.

The condition of things in this State is
alike unprecedented and significant. No
body there goes for the regularly nominated
candidate of the wing party. General Scott
cannot find friends enough there to form an
electoral ticket for him Yet Georgia voted
by large majority for Gen. Taylor, and,
while the whig party could claim position as
a national party, has always been considered
a doubtful or whig State:
Now, this state of things in Georgia
where it appears that there are two electoral
tickets for Pierce and King, and none for
Gen. Scott-proves in the clearest possible
manner that Scott will not get vote south
of Mason and Dixon's line. Georgia is fair
ly entitled to be called the Empire State Of
the South. In railroads, in manufactures,
in all the elements of material wealth and
progress, she stands at the head, as in ex-
tent and population, she stands nearly at the
head, of the southern States. Her influence
IN the southern section is deservedly very
great. In all respects the interests of her
Inhabitants reidenticai with those of North
Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee; yet in
Georgia the Scott wings cannot even form a
party or raise ticket. What hope of sue
cess have they, then, in these last-named
contiguous States p Union.

with him an army of free-soil anti-fugitive

Then suppose further, Mr. Jones, that VIM.

Your fellow southerners will get into great
excitement-you will futter and foam, and
roar and spout, and make a tremendous noise.

"Calm yourselves, gentlemen" Seward
will reply, eve have been before the people

"But the Constitution p says Senator
Jones. "The Constitution" says Seward,

we spit upon your platform? Don't attempt
to come that game, ass !'
"But the bargain, the contract, the under-

Gen. Scott.

"Aye, the understanding" says Seward,
and he shakes the New York Tribune, Of
June 21st, 1852, at Mr.. Bolts in the gal
lery "the understanding, here it is" 'Now
gentlemen continues Seward, seriously
edo not make 'asses' ofyourselves any long

New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, sent
delegates to Baltimore to defeat Mr.. Fill

Great Fire in Sonora.

The San Francisco Wing says that Sonora,
the chief city of the Southern mines, which
has for so long a time enjoyed security,
while confagrations have been raging all
over the country, has at length been laid in
ruins. There is no need to particularize or
to give details in regard to who is burnt out
and who isnot. All is gone. The fire COM
menced on Friday morning, the 18th, a lit
tie after l o'clock, having broken out in a
building on the Plaza called the Hotel de
France, and facing upon Washington street.
The fire spread In a southerly direction
until it had swept every building that had
any connection with its neighbors, including
the whole of the centre block on both sides,
east and west of Washington street. The Ma
sonic Hall, the last buildingon the east side
of Washington street, was entirely Quilted,
the walls alone remaining. The whole nor
them end of the city, from the place at which
the fire commenced, to the Barnum House
on Main street, has been entirely consumed.
The wind soon took turn to the north
ward, and the FIRE spread rapidly from house
to house. The greatest efforts were put forth
to check the flames, but all proved unayaiI-
i ing.
The intensely inAammable nature of the
material, dried up thoroughly by months Of
continued hot weather, Combined with the
scarcity of water, rendered it impossible to
effect any substantial good. The consequence
is that the whole city has been consumed,
with the exception Of few scattered build
Eings on the outskirts, together with great
portion Of the suburb of Sonorita. The
safes at all the banking houses we're preserv-
ed without injury, and also the country 70

Political Impudenoe and EfrOntery.

The Boston Post, in remarking upon the
attempt of the Republic and kindred Scott
journals to prove Franklin Pierce an aboli-
ZIONIST says: eve thought we had seen some
thing of political efrontery and impudence
in the course of twenty years; but the at
tempt by the southern Scott press to prove
Gen. Pierce an a6oJttionist is touch be-
yond the sublime in lyipg-a fight unequal
led by any Roorbach imagination that ever
fortified the field Of falsehood. And then
to pretend to prove this by the most unscru-
pulous abolition prints that ever blackened
an honest mans reputation-prints that
have applied every approbrious term to Gen.
Pierce that malignity could invent, in re-
vcnge for his answering opposition to all
their incendiary schemes-is an effort at i'm
position that we did not believe the most
desperate political gamester would under
take" Union.

Hon. NJ. NORRIS.
From the Cleveland Plaindealer.
Henry Clay and Gen. Scott.

A dying man is an honest man, says the
adage, and for this reason there has been
great inquiry among all classes of politicians
and people to know if Mr. Clay, previous to
his death, expressed any opinion in relation
to the nomination of Gen. Scott Although
in dying state, it is well known that he
could not be wholly Indifferent to the results
of the two Baltimore Conventions, which
events just preceded his demise; and as to
the first, the Democratic Convention, he ex-
pressed his regrets that Gen. Cass was not
nominated, although he spoke in the highest
terms of Pierce but of the Wing Conven-
ton no opinion of the dying statesman has
yet found its way into the public prints
But this we know, had he expressed an opin-
ion favorable to the action of that Conven-
ton, it would long ere this have been mag
nifed and published in every Scott paper in
the country, and exhibited on banners from
every house-top. To believe that he ex-
pressed no opinion, was impossible; that he
expressed an unfaUorable opinion, was quite
probable from the universal silence of the
whig press. The latter proves to be the
fact We have an authority for this which
no respectable paper will dare impeaeh. 1t
is no less a parsonage than Gen. Lewis Cass,
who has been the personal friend of Clay
through life, who attended him daily through
his long aGd last illness, and even followed
his remains to their final resting place. Mr..
Clay did express an opinion, very decided
opinion to Mr. Cass, and to others who were
allowed to visited him, for he made no Sc.
cret of his thoughts on that subject, and re
peated them on various occasions, "that he
| had no confidence in Gen. SCOTS ability tc
administer the affairs of our general govern
ment at this important juncture, and ht
would rather see the administration in thu
hands Of safe democrat, than trusted tt
an incompetent whig." This would be tn,
substance Of his remarks. OF the candidate
before the Baltimore Convention, his choic
! was Fillmore, and like Thurlow Weed an
Horace Greeley in '48, he preferred an
t body to Scott |! This was his dying sent
? ment. In relation to mere military chic
t tains aspiring to the chief ruler-shlP OF
: civil government, this has been his sent
{ ment through life It is true be supports

but he had lived to see both their admin
!. tfations miserable failures for want of
civilian at the helm, and no party Or Ga
min considerations could have induced hi

EXTRAORDINARY FREAK OF NATURE
We saw at the Washington Hotel, yesterday,
says the Richmond Enquirer, of the Both
ult., a most singular specimen of double
human being, much more curious and inter-
esting than the far-famed Siamese twins
The latter are united by ligament in front
the singular little creatures we saw yes,
terday, are firmly and indissolubly connected
by common rear. In all other respects they
are separately and distinctly Organized
These negro children were born in Column
bia county, North Carolina, and are about
twelve months old. They have happy ia
ces, which strongly resemble each other, and
are healthy and sprightly. Their mother,
who accompanies them, is very large and
strapping woman. This very strange phe-
nomenon of nature will, we understand, be
Exhibited to thepublic in few days, and
should attract the intention Of medical men
in particular, and all who like to see the won
derful workings of nature

Gen. Scott on the Constitution.

Gen. Scott in his zeal to catch the foreign
vote, says in his letter of acceptance, that if
elected to the Presidency, he would recon-
mend an alteration in the naturalization
laws, SO as to give foreigners who have serv-
ed one year in our army or navy, the right
of citizenship.
Upon this, the Madison Courier remarks,
'that the Constitution of the United States
says Congress shall have power to establish
UNIFORM rule of naturalization throughout
the United States So the first thing this
EMINENT CIVILIAN would do; if he were
elected President, would be to recommend
the violation of the Constitution"

Letter of Senator Chase to Hon B. F Butler.

This document, which has been some time
looked for as the authoritative statement of
the grounds upon which those men of all par
ties who seek a renewal of the anti-slavery
agitation at this time are to unite with the
abolitionists proper, in third party, and
upon a third presidential candidate, has at
last made its appearance. 1t fills about six
columns of the New York Herald; and as
the pith of it may be briefly stated, we do
noe propose to publish it at length.
Mr.. Chase makes three main points in his
letter:
1st. In his Judgment, the Buffalo organ
ization, so far from being temporary or oc-
casional in It's purpose, was designed to en-
gage all who took part in it in a perpetual
war or legislative agitation against slavery
and the South,
3D. The democracy of the North, and es
Ipacially the democracy Of New York, tc
whom Mr., Chase's appeal appears to be par
ticularly addressed, so far from concurrinl
/ in this opinion as to the Buffalo organiza
ton, have arrived at the conclusion that tn
occasion for that organization has now pas
sed by, and have united to carry out demo
cratic principles and policy, on the distinc
understanding and declaration that the SEE
| Etional controversy has been settled, and
not to be renewed.
Sd. Byreason Of this fact, Mr. Chas'
,Eand those who, like himself, desire at th
n time to disturb the settlement il order IN
: mediately to renew the sectional controye
llsy, cannot unite with the democratic party
support tie democratic candidates. = Usi0
