Remining Money by Mah.-An i'm
portant decision has recently been made
TO the U. S. District Court, Richmond,
Va. Chief Justice Taney presiding. In
case OIL trial befJrc that court, the
question arose whether money remitted
by mail from debtor TO n creditor such
money being lost before 1t reached its
destination, was relea Of the debtor
from OF tligations Gf the debt. The chief
justice decided that the plaintiff having
requested his debtor to remit the money,
without specifying or directing how
II was to he sent, and the dsienGa1t hav
ing complied with tie request by remit
nng through the mail, as was the GUS
with others 10 do, the debtor would not
be held liable to make good the loss.--
The decision is in conflict with other
cases involving the same principle, the
chief justice holding that the former
decisions were not correct.

Singular Disappearance.-A good
deal Of excitement has been sccasioned
in this city, by the sudden disappear
ance Of the Rev. Gardner Dean, an
itinerant revival preacher, who has been
engaged here for several weeks in his
calling. Mr.. Dean left the house OF
Otis n. Pierce on Sixth street, on
Thursday evening, in company with
the Rev. Mr.. Taylsr, from whom he
parted at the corner Of Middle and
Six streets, as he was engaged to lec-
ture in the Allen street Methodist
Church that night. Since that time, he
has not cen seen or heard OF. He was
engaged to preach IN the Bonney street
Church on Sunday, but did not make
his appearance. We learn at the Po-
lce Office, that Elder Dean has recent
ly received several threatening letters,
and had consulted the officers concern
ing them. The conversation had turned
upon these letters at the residence of
Mr.. Pierce, and when Elder Dean left
he was in q very excited and nervous
rame OF mind HIS friends fear foul play,
hut, we hope and think, upon no sulici.
ent grounds. Mr.. Dean is of somewhat
eccentric turn Of mind, and may have
wandered away, ellher under the inHu-
ence OF some sudden caprice, or of a
partial alteration Of intellect. We are
more willing to believe this, than to
suppose Tor moment, that Mr.. Dean
has fallen beneath the blow of an assas-
sin. A few days, or even hours, may
satisfactorily unravel the whole mystery.
A gentleman informs us that he saw
Mr. Dean on Thursday night last, as IL
o'clock. passing up Middle street at
rapid pace. We also learn that the
missing man has disappeared in SINH
lar manner at least once before
