MuRDERs-Almost every paper we have
opened lately contains accounts of some
atrocious murders recently committed. We
might fill our paper with details of these
bloody acts. Whittier are we tending?
As specimen Of the cold -blooded, un.
provoked, and fendish character of these
outrages, we give the following:
An old bachelor named David Hart who
lived at Bald Hill, Fleming county, KY,
and slept in house alone, was murdered
in his bed, with an axe, a few nights since,
by young man named Hedrick, who was
boarding with maiden aunt in the neigh
borhood, and going to school. This young
man left on the night Of the murder, taking
with him $50 in money, some jewelry, and
horse belonging to his aunt. $500 in
money, and watch, belonging to the mur-
dered man, were also taken.
Mr.. Alexander Garden, lately of Wheel.
ing, who owns fine farm on the Ohio river,
was returning home from Woodsfeld, o.,
on, Sunday of last week, in company with
Judge Morris and Henry Craig. When
withina mile or two of the river, he was
heard to cry, "for Gods sake, spare my life
a little longer" Persons living in the neigh.
borhood ran out, saw man running after
Garden--saw him knock Garden down ant
Tbeat him. When they got to the place, tn,
body of Garden had been dragged beneatl
some bushes under the hill, and Craig, di
vested of all clothing except his pantaloons
was sitting upon it. Gardens skull had beer
mashed with large stone. Craig endeav
ored to escape, but was captured. Judg'
Morris was near; but is unable to give an
account Of the affair.
On the 7th inst, a man named West sho
a turkey in the grounds of the water-cur
establishment in Cleveland, and hid it un
der log. Several persons saw him, and
Mr.. Joseph Thompson, and two others fol
lowed him and demanded pay for the tur
key. West became exasperated and sho
Thompson, who bled to death in . shor
time. West was arrested.

THE PAcKET LrNE.-The Consolidation
is at an end. The Union line--minus the
Alvin Adams and David White--will prob
ably run from Wheeling to Cincinnati; the
Pittsburghers talk of increasing their line,
and extending it to Louisville.
Since the above was in type, we clipped
the following from the Pittsburgh Gazette:
"The line from here to Cincinnati, viii
consist of the Pennsylvania, Allegheny,
Philadelphia, Buckeye State, Crystal Pal
ace, Pittsburgh, and Messenger No 2. The
Keystone State and Cincinnati will form part
of the Mail Line from Louisville to st. Louis
Passengers will be receipted through from
st. Louis and Louisville to Pittsburgh, by
boat, and vice versa, and from St. Louis,
Louisville, and Cincinnati to Baltimore and
Philadelphia, passengers taking the boats
from either of those places to Pittsburgh
and from thence over the Central road to
Baltimore or Philadelphia. Passengers viii
also be receipted through from Baltimore
Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh to either Of the
points below. The fare will be from Phila
delphia to Cincinnati, S11; Louisville, $12
St. Louis, $l6; from Baltimore to Cincin
natl, $40; to Louisville, Sl1, and st. Louis
$16."
These boats are now all laid up on &C
count Of the low water; but from presen
indications, we may look for them again il
a few days.

Of the eass. Msslnn snasnsu to explain:
One Of the direct railroad routes between
Cincinnati and New York oits. Is BY way
of Erie. Although there isa railroad con-.
nection al tthsws and through tickets are
sold at al tAs cfHces. yet there are several
different roads. owned BY different compa-
nies, known By different names, and man
aged by different officers. The width Of the
track is not the same on all these roads,
consequently, numerous changes Of cars
are rendered necessary. These changes are
attended with considerable expense to the
railroad companies, requiring an unnecessa-
ry number of employees and an extravsgsnt
quantity of rolling stock, etc. They are
still more Objectionable to passengers. fire.
quently resulting in the loss Of baggage,
the separation of friends. taking the wrong
trains, vexatious delays, &c., &c. In pass
ing over this road last summer, we noticed
great deal Of complaint among passengers,
on account of these changes--having been
compelled to change twice, we believe, in
travelling about thirty miles. The railroad
companies, finding public patronage with
o.swn on account Of these annoyances, de-
termined to change the gauge of one Of the
roads; whereupon the hotel and eating house
proprietors, grogsellers, porters, ticket-ven-
ders. pickpockets, etc., of Erie. collected to-
gether, and determined to oppose them, by
mob force. AT one time, they became SC
riotous that the military was called out to
quell them. They have twice torn up the
new track, for mile or two, driven the tel.
egraphic operator out Of town for informing
the newspapers Of their proceedings, com
PEELED the President of the railroad compa
ny to resign, threatened to tear or burn dowr
the stores and houses of those who favol
the change, and pelted the Railroad Agen
with rotten eggs. There is no telling wher,
it will end. The mob was triumphant q
latest dates.
Since writing the above. we have the fol
lowing in addition: The United States Mar

Mayor and Council, who have favored til,

No attention was paid to it. A messag,
from Gov. Bigler has been received at Erie
sympathizing with the mob, and intimatins
that if his presence at Erie will be of ser
vice to the rioters, he will come. The in
junction case is being argued at Pittsburg
The mails and freight are now sent by steam
