MURDER AT RIcuMo>D, Missouri, and sum.
mary Execution Of tile Mmderer-A man by
the name of Wingo was summarily executed
by the Lopuace of Richmond, on the 18th ult.,
for the murder of a very estimabe citizen by
the name of Allen.
The murderer appears to have been an aban-
doned reprobate, summed by all as desperate
and dangerous character, and is supposed to
have committed the fell deed merely through
qualification of a most malignant disposition,
rs it is not known that Allen, who is said to
have been very exemplary man, ever gave
cause Of provocation.
On the morning of the 18th, Mr.. Allen, in
company with friend, arrived in town, and
while yet ON horseback, was accosted in an in
solent manner by Wingo, who, gun in hand,
told him that he must retract nstanter, what
what he had said about him. Allen replied in
a calm and mild Manner that he was not aware
of ever having said anything derogatory to his
character, and desired to be informed of what
he had reference to, at the same time request
ing him not to be too rash Whereupon VIM
90, without more ado, said, "damn you, I'll
make sou re,ract," and the instant fired his
gun, blowing off the whole top of Aliens
head.
But for The timely presence of the Sheriff
and other authorities, the populacc, enraged at
the perpctrator Of such y diabocal outrage,
would have despatched him forthwith. lie
was, however, safely lodged in Jail, where he
remained till the 18th, when he was brought
out for trial.
The Court, in consequence of the universal
prejudice against the culprit, granted Il change
of venue; but the popuace, anticipating the
event, and predetermined that he should not
escape assembled in mass in front of the
Court House, and as soon as the prisoner
in custody Of the Sheriff, made his egress, a
rope was thrown about his neck, and in spite
of the remonstrance and efforts of the officers,
he was hastily dragged of with such violence
as nearly deprived him Of life ere reaching the
place of execution, when the rope was thrown
over the branch of a tree, and the prisoner
swung up by the neck. After remaining sus-
pended for two hours, the body was taken
! down and buried. 1t is said that the murder.
er's only regret was, that he was not permitted
to live long enough to kill two other persons Z;
"then," said he, 81 will be willing to submit to
any death you may desire" Allen leaves a

ANOTHER DEATH FROM SPIRITUAL RAPING

ANOTHER DEATH FROM SPIRITUAL RAPINGs.
We learn from the Buffalo Courier that,
some nine months since, young man and wo-
man in Evano, N. y, upon being informed by
a medium that it was the will of the "sprits"
that they should become man and wife, although
scarcely acquainted with each other, went be-
fore Justice and were married. The woman
whose health had already been impaired by the
exciting influences Of "spritual mantestons." Z"
grew worse, and finally died. During her sick
ness she was attended by IL spiritual phi, sician,
under whose direction she would stretch her
self upon the face downward, remaining in that
posture for hours at time, for the purpose of
"getting the electricity from the earth, " and go
through various other equally absurd perfor-
mances Subsequent to her death the body
showed no symptoms of decay, and was kept
for week or more without burial, owing to
fears which her friends entertained that she was
not dead At length her rphy ysician and spiritual
friend quoted all doubts by asserting that her
spirit was too happy in the sphere "here it had
gone, to return to the cares and pains incident
to the flesh, and she was buried.

The Administration.

We very seldom meddle with Federal politics
and are disposed now to shrink from the tangled
task, made doubly so by our distance from the
scenes of party warfare and the little connection
we have Herewith, but the recent removal OF
the New York collector of Customs from Office
has called forth SO much comment from the
Press of the State and Country at large, that
we feel compelled at least to give an expression
of our opinion thereon and to vindicate them
The administration heretofore of President Pierce
has been so signaIly and universally satisfactory,
that something more than mere hasty and un-
guarded acton of one of his Cabinet should be
required betole Withdrawing our support from
one who had the confidence Of Calhoun, and
who is, we believe, a stronger friend to the South
than can be found porth of Mason and Dixon's
line, ard whose course has shown him warm
advocate of the doctrine of Estate Rights
which he is pledged to defend. As regards the
cxpediency and propriety Of the dismissal OF
Collector Bronson from office, we have not sui
fcient data before lis to decide, but If he failed
to carry out the Democratic platform, as Land
down at the Baltimore Convention. he certainly
was not carrying out the measures OF President
Piercc's administration, acting as clog upon
the party, and thwarting them in their endeav1
ors to fulfil the duties, for the performance OF
which they are under contract to the free votes
of the citizens of the United States. heh'
therefore, it can be plainly shown that ColIec,
tor Bronson of New York, was faithfully and
truly performing his duties as public servant
and fulfilling tho trust rc7osed in him by those
arl. M
to whom he owed his position. we sha say Se'
crctary Guthrie acted unwiscIy an! not we'll
but not until then. New York politics are worse
than tangled web, and it would be an utter
impoSsibiliry for any one in South Carolina to
ruravel the thread and bring to light the pull
inys and slight of hand tricks OF those who move
rho wires, Sufficient therefore Is it for lis TO

A CALcrLAnoS.-A correspondent of the
Christian Press estimates the quantity of rum,
whiskey and beer manufactured and consumed
in our country, and gives the following statistics,
carefully taken from the last census, the correct
ness of which any one can examine for HIM
self:
The amount is s5s,075,542 gallons which
would fill a reservoir of 40 acres feet inches
deep; or equal to 2,Gsl,4s5 barrels Of 80 gal
Ions each, which, if laid in a row end-wisc, al
lowing each barrel % inches would extend l.
1856 miles, less foot inches 1t would fill a

40 cents per gallon, as most of it is paid for by
the glass, and amounts to s34,s2s,ols so.

A FATAL REScoUNrER-A personal rcncoun.
ter took place on Wednesday evening last, be-
tween NJ. II. Patton and A. b. Prior, which re-
suited in the death of the former. 1t appears
they were both setting at their boarding house
when the difficulty occurred, Patton being at
the same time in rather angry conversation
with another person and Prior looking on, but
inadvertently, as appears, made some remark
to Patton which was not kindly received, where
upon he ordered Prior to leave, TO which the
latter made some tart reply, when Patton
struck and knocked Prior backwards over chair
and pitched upon him; while in this situation,
several cuts were inflicted by the latter upon
the breast and neck Of the former, from which
he died in twenty minutes. Prior mmedatel y
gave up his knife and surrendered himself to
an officer and has been "dged in Jail to await
his trial
A man by the name of MeEoney has been al
so arrested, being the room mate Of Prior, and
supposed to be in some way accessory to the
killing, he was not however, present at the diff
fculty. Hamburg Republican.

Correspondence of the Baltimore S,m.
W .cp,<cro> M,

The alarm about Cuban Authorization has
somewhat subsided, inaSmnch as it Is believed
that the articles on the subject which appear
cd in the Union were not of strictly official
character. But they were, at least. thrown
out as feelers of the public pulse on tile subject
of Cuba; and, taken together with some other
demonstrations, show that there is Il scheme
Oh foot not for the Atrcanlzation of Cuba,
but for its Americanization. That the ac9ui.
si,on of Cuba is desirable, has become the gen.
eral impression, aud many believe alsn, that it
is essential to the interests of the Union. The
subject will undoubtedly be brought before the
next Congress, and perhaps in the Presidents
Message Congress will also call for the re-
liable information on the subject which has
been circulated through official and unofficial
papers.
1t will probably be found that letters have
been received trcm consular sources re.
peatng some rumors which have before been
received, here and elsewhere, from private in
dvidual<, and that these consular rumors have
been made the subject of inquiry through our
ministers in England and France. When the
whoe plot shall be developed, the admin.tra-
ton must do something more than throw out
icelers.
The Japan expedition appears to me to have
come to very feeble conclusion. The letter
of the President was delivered, and that seems
to have been the whole object effected. No
answer to the letter was received, and MOLE
can be said to be expected. do not see that
Commodore Perry was, in any way recognised
as an ambassador. The feet, after the delive-
ry of the letter, was Withdrawn, and the Com.
ifthc government deem it expedient to expcnd
any more money on this expedition.
The Commodore found the japanese well
prepared, and also an intelligent and brave
people, as appears from the account given by
one of his officers, and it would have been
rather Quixotic for the Commodore to com
merce hostiitics with so small force. But
if the Commodore has gained any new infor
nation as to the channel leading up to the
capital city Jeddo, or has been enabled to cal
culate the amount of naval force necessary for
hostile demonstration, his expedition cannot
be said to have been an entire failure.
According to private advces from Mexico,
there is no apparent difficulty pending between
that government and the United States, and a
negotiation is quietly going OH in regard to a
new boundary line. The MesilIa valley is, i'll
the meantime, under the joint occupancy of
the two parties. | understand that it will suit
the objects Of the New York Pacific Railroad
Company to divide the valley between the Uni
ted States and Mexico. This will afford the
company the route which they desire.

therefore 2,62o,0G9 cwtS represent 7S6,o20.7

WA>nIHGroN, Oct. 20, 1853.
DEAR Sir perceive that in several c"un-
ties of Massachusetts coalition senatorial Tick
cts have been formed of associated democrats
and frersuilers. My Judgment is, ilIat the
democrats who have participated in this have
done worse than to commit a,fhtM error. They
have abandoned principle which is iiillda.
mental. TO support or vote for the frresohers
of Massachusetts is to give c0untenance aud
power to persons engaged, avowedfy, in the
persistent agitation of the slavery question, and
therefore hostile, in the EXTREMIST degree, to
the determined policy of the administration.
The President entertains immUveable cOHvic-
lions on this point, us have had occasion to
express to you heretofore and all of us whom
he has called to the public service here most
heartily and zealolIsl ly sustain his views on the
subject, as being the only ones consistent with
our personal honor, the success Of the demo-
cratic party, the general welfare of the couB.
try, the integrity of the constitution 2r the per-
nianency of this Union. If there be any pur-
pose more fixed than another in the mind of
the President and those with whom he is ac.
customed to consult, it is that dangerous ele,
ment Of abolitionsIn, nnder whatever guise or
form it may present itself, shall be crushed out,
So far as the administration is concerned. This
the President declared in his inaugural; this
he has declared ever since, ut all times, and I'M
all places, when he had occasion to speak on
the subject. While he does not assume to
Judge of the hearts of men who publicly avow
sonnd principles, he only needs overt acts to
show where they are, in order that his settled
policy in the conduct of the affairs of the gov
ernment shall be unequvocalIy manifested.
Those who have apprehended haltiug or hesita-
ton on the part Of the President. in treading
any path which truth and patriotism open to
linn will find themselves greatly mistaken. He
is up to this OCCASION. His policy was not has
tily settled; while he occupies his present po-
sitonit will never be departed from. The con-
sttutional rights of all the States of this Union
are as dear TO him as the rights Of New Hamp-
shire. l have perceived from the outset that
this great principle of the constitutional rights
of the States is fastened in his thoughts as the
cornerstone of this Union. Depend upon it,
no matter what consequences may impend
over him, he will never allow it to be shaken
by bolitonsts, but will set his face like flint
as well against right hand backsIidiugs as
against left hand defections, which may prru-
dice or en,barass the onward progress of the
republic | remain very truly yours.
