Murder on Grand Rirer.-We learn that a
murder was committed on Grand River in this
Parish on the 9Th inst. A man by the name of
VIM. Ottery Gas we understand)-who arrived
in this section about a year since on a raft from
the Yazoo swamps-addressed a Mr.. Ward in
the presence of several other persons, telling
him he wished to speak a few words with him.
They took a seat a short distance off, when,
after a short time, Ottery arose suddenly, and
with an axe helve struck Ward several blows
on the head, which caused his death the follow
ing day. Ward stated before he died that he
supposed he was stalking with a friend" at the
time he was assailed, thereby indicating that
there had not been any previous misunder-
standing between Ottery and himself, and con-
sequently unaware of the cause Of his ~assassi-
nation. Ottery has escaped, but our vigilant
Sheriff is endeavoring to get upon his trail.

The Notorious DR.. Hines again in Prison.
This individual, who was lately pardoned by
Gov. Walker, is now in prison in Charleston,
s. C. The Courier gives nearly a column in
recounting his villainous course since he was
released from the Penitentiary at Baton Rouge.
He first took up lodgings at the Verandah in
the city, where he represented himself as a Col.
F~loyd--then swindIed a Mr.. Word, Of Texas,
of$soo--took trip to the North, was followed
by Word-heard ofhim at New York, where be
was hand in glove with John Van Buren, and
others--then at Richmond, and lastly at Char
lesion, where he had been endeavoring to raise
funds by representing himself as a Louisiana
planter. In this latter city, he was met by Word
on the I'd inst--attempted to escape but was
arrested, and finally conveyed to Jail, where the
Jailor recognized him as the individual who had
called the day previous and represented himself
as Inspector Of Jails from the General Govern
ment. The affair ended by Hines having Word
arrested for assault aud battery, and in default
of bail, being a stranger, the latter was confined
in the same room with his swindler, where he
still remained at last accounts. A nice speci-
men of humanity to let loose upon the public,
is this Hines.

A Negro Murdered by a Negro~-We regret
to learn that our friend and fellow-citizen,
Col. A. s. ROBERTSON, whose plantation is a
few miles below this, on the opposite side of
the river, met with the misfortune u few days
since of loosing a hired servant who was killed
by one of his own slaves. The facts as stated
are simply these: the murderer was beating an
OK very severely, and on being demonstrated
with for his severity by the deceased, he turned
about and struck the latter a blow on the head
with the stick he was using upon the animal,
fracturing his victims skull, and causing his
death Immediately.

[Nev Orleans Correspondence of the Sentinel

New ORLEANS, .Aprl 7h, 1852.
Kossuth has kun and gone, and New Orleans
stands precisely where it did, and things move on
much as they were wont to do before the advent
of the illustrious Magyar. Ihave been unable to
learn to what extent he succeeded in "%raising the
wind' here, but l am confident the figure was
small. "Air line Railroad stock" stands about the
same here as Hungarian bonds, and capitalists
manifest a lamentable want ofenterprise in regard
to both of these exceedingly plausible schemes.
Kossuth went off very quietly, and very unexpect-
eddy made his appearance in Mobile. The usual
speech was let off and he again took up his line of
march for the North.
A very interesting ceremony took place yester-
day in Lafayette Square, being the presentation of
a stand ofcolors on the part of the state to the New
Washington Regiment of Sunday soldiers. The
Legion and several German companies turned out,
and the column presented a fine appearance as it
marched through the streets. Col. Palfrey distin-
guished himself on the occasion by one of his hap
py and patriotic speeches, and Col. William Wal
lace Washington Worthington Winter Wood, the
valiant commander of the Washington Regiment,
replied, promising to stand by the colors aforesaid
in each and every contingency, and do sundry glo-
rious deeds in case they should be required ofhim.
tits a great thing to be a soger, particularly when
there is no disagreeable duty to perform.
Our new councils meet in a few days and COM
mence operations for the season.
The steamships Georgia and Falcon arrived here
on Sunday, but neither of them brought many pas
sengers. The Georgia leaves for New York on
Saturday and much dissatisfaction has been caused
by putting the price Of passage up to s75. This
has been done in consequence of the withdrawal
of the Union, opposition steamer, from this route;
previous to that the fare was only $50. The regu-
lar spring races over the Metairie Course COM
menced yesterday and much sport is anticipated as
a large number of fine stables are on the ground.
But little is said about the Convention in New
Orleans, and l do not believe that there will be
more than one third of the vote of the city polled
at the coming election. There does not appear to
be any opposition to the proposed Convention, and
the friends of the measure do not deem it necessa-
ry to make any e%xertion. There is no doubt that
it will be carried by a large majority in the State.
Your offer to furnish the Sentinel to any and all
Democrats in your Parish, to be paid for only when
the wing nominees for President and Vice Presi-
dent are elected, has excited some considerable at
~tention, and there are many Democrats here who
would be by no means sure Of gettingi it for nothing

Rut voting unanimously even for a ConVen-

But voting unanimously even for a ConVen-
ton, is but the primary step. Immediately af-
forwards, candidates of various hues in politics
and morals, and degrees of wisdom, age and
experience, will be placed or place themselves
before the people, for their suffrages on the
18th of June next, to undertake The great re-
form which the Convention contempIates. We
are afraid that in some sections men will DO
elected to this body who have no real talent or
ability but possessing that which understands
adroit "pipe laying" and which is deeply vers-
ed in chicanery and intri gue, and assisted with
oily and plausible tongues, will find supporters
in their nominations among those who are intel
l~ectually as weak as themselves. We trust
however, that the mass of the people will be
guided in their selections by honesty, capacity
and fidelity, and will be particularly careful in
foiling both private and public serrocinations
as assisting to further the aims of interested
aspirants. Choose men who have been long
known, whose principles are such as above
it~alicised, who are acquainted with public life,
and whose characters and suggestions will have
weight in a body as serious and important as
that whose deliberations contemplate the re-
modelling of a Constitution-and whose past
acts in the various phases of life, in which they
have been known and tried, warrant the con-
clusion that they will look to the good of the
people in the framing of laws, and not to any
fancied party tenet for party's sake, as ruled
the Democratic Party in the last Convention
In fine, choose men who will do their duty
to the people, to themselves and to their God.
Such will be the course Of the Wings of lber-
Vile in THEIR nomination of candidates, after
the day Of redemption has passed, and a new
political future is opened to the people Of Lou
isiana.

The Ncrncrv of WASHINGTON.

We publish to-day an appeal to The Ameri-
can people, from the Washington Monumental
Committee, asking further assistance to ena-
Bile them to proceed with the Washington Mo-
nument, which is now delayed through the
want of funds. We sincerely trust that mea-
sures will be taken forthwith throughout the
Union, to make a patriotic response to this feel
ing document, which cannot fail TO find a SYM
pathetic chord in the breast Of every true
hearted American. The present is peculiarly
an appropriate time to prove how sacredly the
memory of the Father Of his Country is held
by the present generation. The justice and
patriotism Of some of his teachings have been
questioned of late, il not traduced, by those of
eminent standing in the country and the op-
portunity which is now presented, asking aid
to proceed with the monumental structure.
should be an acceptable one to the people, that
they might manifest their opposition to such
structures, as we'll as their reverence for the
memory Of Washington, by contributing indi-
vidually their mite to assist in carrying on the
great ana glorious WORK.
We therefore respectfully propose, as proper
occasions to make contributions in accordance
with the request Of this appeal, and which
would be eu1incntly national i'll its design, that
a separate box be placed alongside the ballot
boxes in this State on the 14th of June and
LIST of November, which box shall be called the
"Washington Monument Box" and on it paint
ed in large letters:
"One Dime 10 the Memory Of Washington"
Assuredly, few would go away from the
ballot-box without depositing that small piece
of coin on such an occasion and for such an
object. If this system would be universally
adopted throughout the States, a very large
sum would doubtless be raised; and a work.
which should be the pride of every patriot,
thus continued in its ascent to the skies. What
say our contemporaries?
