Of the American government ia the treaty
with The Oriental Republic of Uruguay.
Chancellor Johns opposed the passage Of
the resolutions, and thought it dangerous
interference with the affairs Of the govern

coupling together Of the Church and State.
As private citizens, petition and remon-
STRANGE in such matters are proper, but in a

any action having reference to civil affairs.
Others followed in support Of the resolu-
tions, and they were finally adopted.

Strange Homicide by WOman.-William
Taylor, who for some time past has been clerk
in Mr. Hobbs boot and shoe store, on Canal
street, was last night killed by woman named
Agnes Anderson, whom he kept as mistress.
1t appears, from all we can gather of the case,
that the woman, of late, became jealous of Tay-
lor, suspecting that he had transferred his affec-
tons to another female. Be this as it may,
certain it is that the man was killed after he
went to bed, and that no less than eleven knife
wounds were inflicted with fatal force Oh vari-
Gus portions of his person. The woman, af-
ter committing the homicide, went and deliv-
cred herself up to the police authorities of this
District. Her statement is, that when Taylor
got into bed he had in his hand knife, and he
said, addressing her, "d-n you, you shall never
get out of this bed again. intend to kill
you'll With this, she goes on to tell how he
drew the knife and undertook to stab her. and
that she wrested the knife from his hand and
succeeded in quieting him by stabbing him

DR.. JAMES W. GILLEsPIE.-We announced in
our last issue that this gentleman had declined
accepting the nomination for Congress in this
District. That announcement was made upon
a report which reached us--since then we have
seen the letter of Dr. g., in which he positively
declines the race. Few men could have had the
nerve to decline nomination so freely given
them, in a District so nearly balanced as this
A dsinclinaton to enter upon the political arena,
together with reasons of a private nature, have
induced the Dr. to take this course Had he
accepted the nomination we might have had a
spirited contest, but it would have been pleas
ant one-one that would have engendered no
acrimonious feeling. Two such men as SMITH
and GILLESPIE are incapable of making per-
sonaL warfare. Although we differ with DR..
G. in politics, party ties do not prevent us from
yielding to the claims of justice and saying this
much in his favor. Whilst we sigh for the re-
tirement he has chosen we wish him all the

Hox.. JeHN BELL-The Democratic presses
of this state, as if by previous agreement, are
out upon this noble old patriot and statesman
in most terrible manner. His speech before
the late Wing Convention, together with the
nomination of the very man they most dreaded
for Governor, has most effectually disconnected
them. The speech, which may be found in this
paper, is mild and coached in The most respect
full language. 1t deals in no angy invective-
it is free from that hateful bragadotio and boast
full spirit so often used to inspirit disponding
partisans. Yet, this is wherein it gives offense.

it does not change their votes, it will change

A MOVING BoG.-A curious instance of this
natural phenomenon, took place on the Sd of
March, on the lands Of Enagh Monmore, in the
West of the County Glare. A tract of bog, a.
bout a mile in circumference, was perceived to
be deeply fssured, and shortly afterwards the
whole mass commenced to move in an easterly
direction, and continued in motion for twenty
four hours. In that period it accomplished a
movement of about so perches to the east of
its former position, and the result has been
the exposure of a quantity of bog timber
which was previously covered with peat to the
the depth of fifteen feet. The cause of the
land slip is supposed to have been an accumuIa-
ton of water in slough which occupied the
centre of the bog. 1t now covers piece of
ground from which the turf had been cut away

The Austin, (Texas,) State Gazette of the
10th inst, says:
The Indians are becoming decidedly hostile
and daring in their depredations on the frontier
along the upper Brazos, On the 2sth of March,
Major Sbler had difficulty with the Waeoes,
and more recently part of Whichtas, having
come in at Fort Belknap, were detained as
prisoners, two being sent back to bring in some
stolen horses. At night the chief, after mur.
dering his own wife and child, rose upon the
guard with all his warriors nine in number
The sentinel on guard was instantly killed and
another soldier wounded. The chief was killed,
but all his warriors escaped. This shows that
the Indians are driven to the extreme Of des-
peration, and we may expect bloody work on
the frontier.
The Indianola Bulletin of the 10Th inst, has
the following about the Texas gold mines:
We have not much additional intelligence
from the mines; but we learn that men are
going out from all parts of the country.
Col. Todd, of Kentucky, formerly Minister
to Russia) has returned from the mines He
states that he saw about two hundred men at
work, apparently much encouraged at their
success.

Gen Pierce has removed Mr.. w. ]. Grayson,
Collector for the district of Charleston, S. c.,
and appointed in his place, Mr.. W. F. Colcock.
Mr.. Grayson was Union man-Mr. Colcock
Secessionist.
This removal of Mr.. Grayson more clearly
demonstrates the favor with which the Secess-
ionists are regarded by the President, than
any other one act of his, since his installation
into office. In every other important instance
where secessionists have been appointed to
office, wings have been removed. But the con-
test for the COllectorship at Charleston was be
tween Union democrat and seceSsiOnist, and
the latter triumphed. Whether the Union de-

A Coon OXE.-There is good story told
in Scottish newspaper. A tavern keeper in
Kelso had recently erected a shower bath in
one of his rooms, part of which was fitted up
as a kind of bar, or taproom, as they call it
on the other side. One evening, an Irishman,
who happened to be drinking alone with few
companions in one Of the boxes, rose up for the
purpose of ringing for more liquor. Looking
around the room for the bell cord, his eye fell
on the rope attached to the shower BATH "Be

TENNESSEE BANKS.

An arrangement has been effected with one

in payment Of all demands. This must prove to
be matter Of great convenience to our bust

Tennessee has been rapidly extending for seve-
raj years, and it is now of great importance, and
this regulation of the currency must greatly ia
cilitate mercantile operations, which, in conse-
ouence Of the depreciation of Tennessee Bank
notes has been carried on hitherto, with no little
inconvenience to both parties. As we are be-
coming more closely connected with North and
South Corolina, by means of Railroads, compile

well that similar arrangements to that noticed

DUTY OF THE WING PARTY

There are some among the dominant party,
who effect, perhaps feel, a great JOY in the de-
feat of the Wing party in the late election for
President, not only because they beieve-or
rather hope-that with the election of the
Democratic nominee to the Presidency. the
Wing party was killed. And there are some
too, who are disposed to agree that the Wing
party was then obliterated
They may not clay that fattering JUNCTION tc
their souls" The Wing party cannot die whilst
constitutional liberty and the freedom of legis
latio lasts.-It belongs to no man. 1t is not
identified with success or failure of any cleo
ton. 1t is founded on principle; and while
there is Union to be preserved, law to uphold
right to maintain, and good legislation to be
done, the Wing party-call it by what name
you will-can never die. 1t belongs to the PEG
ple-is Of them, and works for them-and is
therefore, in no sense, dependent upon the pow
er and patronage of the government to give il
life. The maxim that had its origin in pristine
days of republican governments-and which
Through long reverberationsp reaches our Owl
tells US that "the price ofliberty is eternal
vigilance" 1t was for this that the Wing par
ty was organized--it was for this that it has
.struggled-it is for this that it must live-stan
ding as sentinel on watch tower, to guard anC
protect the liberty and rights of the people, and
to uphold the responsibilities and duties of the
government.
They can have, as party no hope or desire
apart from that which looks to the good of the
country. They cannot, then, be actuated by
any spirit of disappointment in opposing any
public Office or the administration of the gov
eminent. They look only-to what is right and
that they support And so, President Pierce
has nothing to fear from the Wing party i
he knows the right and does 1t. In so acting
he may well fear-as the experience of his
party predecessors in Office admonishes him
than he will engender opposition in the rank;
of those who aided in his election-but he has
nothing to fear from the Wing party. VIII he
then, do right? Are our fears idle, that he will
not when we look over the remorseess spirit O
prescription which has been evinced by him
and his Cabinet advisers, in the removal O.
good and faithful officers? Our fears are not
idle and the Wing party will soon fnd-has al
ready-cause enough to continue its organi
cation, and occasion to demand of them theil
best exertions to stop the wrong and uphold the
right Let then the Wings, every where, keel
themselves ready to do their duty, which the
