STEAMER BELLE GoULD,}
Jan. 9th, 1858.

Dear Junior:--Your amiable and interest
ing Senior left Evansville yesterday morning,
for Louisville, on this steamer. The Belle
Gould 10 very beautiful boat inner anterior
as well as exterior, which is more than can
be said of some Of our human bellies, whose
hearts and minds may not prove so beautiful
on examination, as the outward semblance OF
the woman might betoken. A very unfav-
'orable introduction to an epistolary intimacy,
I confess, but it was shaken fromme by this
seemingly bschilled boat. ] cannot, however,
speak further in praise Of the Belle Gould at
this moment, as not knowing yet whether my
hat is chalked or not, might do violence to
my editorial conscience, by praising boat
whose officers are not conversant with that
courtesy, the especial expectant property OF
trave' Ing editors.
Thus far, we have been travelling through
a "waste of waters''-the most dreadful
waste of that material so essential 10 navi-
CATION, and so repulsive to the palates of some
of my friends,'l ever witnessed. We have
passed fields of forsaken houses, lifting their
heads drearily from seas of waters, as il
searching for the farms and gardens now
buried beneath the food And here and
there, the smoke curling from the chimney
of a water-surrounded homestead, and dis.
ihevelved hay stacks of hair thrust through
upper windows, betoken that families are YET
clinging to their lonely h ONES, notwithstand
ing the waters are within as well as without
It ought to be ahappy reflection to them, that
while we in the cities have often to pay SC
high for water. they have it right at hand, OIL
ct foot, actually begging their attention.
But here We IRE II ipent up stream, The
hills on both sides effectually saying to The
foods-thus far, and no farther. A it'll,
stream It seems indeed. after emerging from
the lakes below. You can almost imagin,
yourself expecting bump from bars, and
duh stand still as consequence. But far
far below US, are all such imped;ments Il
navigation. The river is falling at ever
point our boat touches, and very fast too.
There are but two representatives from
Evansville on board-about the largest an
least individuals in our city. OF course
nllude to Cardinal W., the Admiral's partner
and TO myself. BY comparing mites, fin
he weighs just as much as two Add Sander:
and couple pounds added thereon. In jus
Etice to him. feel bound to say, he is behav;n
himself well as could be expected-which
ia great detl better than might be expected G
Representatives generally from our city.
We will not be in Louisville till late thi
afternoon. ! may write you from there. I
the mean time hope you and tie Journ'
readers will have a good time Of it togethe

New YORK, Jan. Am Irishman named
William Cation, about 55years OF age, living
with a distant relative named O'Brien, in
Washington township, Begen county, N, j.,
perpetrated the most brutal outrage upon the
bodies of two of O'Brien's children, during
the absense of their father and mother. The
girl, aged eleven years, who had been vio-
lated, was found in the house in u pool other
own blood, with her head nearly severed from
her body, while the boy, aged about nine
years, was found On the hillside among some
shrubbery near the house, his head entirely
cut Of by an axe, and his body horribly mutt
lated by six or seven different gashes made BY
the same instrument. A coroner's jury was
impannelled, and verdict rendered that the
children met their death by blows from an in
strument IN the hands of William Caton.-
The murderer is still at large.

Senate and House of Representatives,
have thus far been amusing themselves, Prin-
cipally, upon matters connected with our
Foreign relations, in calling out the cores
pondence held between Mr.. Webster, Mr..
Everett, and the English Minister, and other
dignitaries of that government respecting
the Tri-pdrite' treaty.
The inquiries are of course all pertinent
at this time, and have been freely transmitted
by the President to the Senate, in Message
containing the letters which passed between
the proper officers, and also Mr.. Everett's re-
ply, declining to enter into the proposed
treaty. The'President comes in for liberal
share of abuse and denunciation, from several
of the INSCRIPTIONS, bullying, democratic
members, in consequence of an alleged stu
pidity on his part, in his action relative'to eur
Foreign relations generally. The debate in
the Senate upon the Tri-parite correspond
ence has not yet come of, which, juding from
the zeal manifested in the matter, will, doubt
less, develope to some extent the policy to
be adopted by the incoming Administration
relative to our Foreign affairs.
The Clayton and Bulwer treaty, touching
Central America, also elected fierce discus
sion in the Senate, in which Mr.. Cass and
others participated, who it appears voted for
the treaty, laboring under the delusion that
England was to be excluded by its provisions
from claiming any part of Central America
The parties drawing the treaty, place diff.
ferent construction upon it, and Mr.. Clayton
also comes in for severe castigation, which
is probably as unmerited as 'the stupid accu
sations against President Fillmore.
In the House, Mr.. Marshall of California
-evinces the usual Locofoco longing for Terri
torial acquisition, ard censures the present
Administrations course relative to Hay.i anc
Nicaragua in no measured terms. He init
mated to Mr.. Venable who opposes the &C
QUESTION, Gearing that it might not come IL
as Slave territory } that the question was set
,Ied-there never could be any more Sav'
territory annexed to the Union.
Mr.. M. appears aprehensive that there j
cause to fear that our foreign relations vii
not long remain undisturbed, and gave motto
that he would at an early day introduce BIZ
placing at the disposal of the President cleo
the sum of FIVE or SIo,ooo,ooo to be used a
his will, to meet any emergency which ma
arise in foreign affairs. The Session thu
far, appears to be one Of amusement ralhe
than business, the members indulging in RI
mantle speuculations concerning foreign ma
tiers, especially those relating to such ada
cent territory as the Democratic party hav
manifested such an insatiate disposition
acquire.

Nicaragua, it seems, has refused to recall
Mr.. Marcoleta, its Envoy Extraordinary to
the United States, notwithstanding the expli-
cit request of Mr.. Webster that it Should do
SO. Mr.. w. and Sanor Marcoleta never took
much Of a liking to each other, and repeated
acts Of the latter, which Mr. Webster consi-
dered altogether undiplomatic, induced him to
request the President to ask his recall, This
has been refused by the Ncaraguan Minister
for Foreign Affairs. And now Mr.. Everett,
who has also been little nettled by some OF
Dir. Marcoleta's acts, renews the request for
his recall. and informs him, in q note dated
30th December last, that no itrther comrIu-
nication can be received from him as Ncara-
guam Envoy!
All this might amount to something like a
speck of trouble, were not the end of the pre-
sent administration so near at hand. But a
new President, and new Secretary of State
can easily overlook tie indiscretions of Mr..
Marcoleta, and will probably be strongly i'm
clined to do so. Meantime, he has the salts
faction of being'a dismissed iunctionary, and
willso continue Unless re-ap2oinied hy the
Nicaraguah Governrent-Lou. Cour.

Fatal Raiiroad Accident.

By reference to our telegraphic column It
will be seen that Gen. Pierce and family have
experienced severe domestic affection in
the loss of their only son and child, besides
sustaining dangerous personal injuries them
selves. The son, a boy of twelve years OF
age, was crushed to death Instantly, and the
escape of Gen. p. and wife with their lives
appears to have been almost miraculous.

HoRRfD MURDER IN CoyiSGToH.-Last
night about II O'Clock an ,ltercation took
place among party Of men in the Jenny
Lind Echange, or Scott street, near Fifth,
in Coying'on, growing cut ef-siitrie -trivisi
matter. nthe melee one Of the party named
Alexander Dapiel was struck on the head with
q colt, by ore Frederick Lemare, and knocked
down. In attempting to rise, voting man
named Thomas Creightoi, Jr.. drew a pistol
and fired at him, the contents lodging
in his throat, killing him almost instantly.
Creighton was indicted by The Grand Jury
of kenton county few months since on
charge of arson-he made his escape, for
feiting his bail and only returned home
again few days since. After Daniels was
shot, the two nurderers fed. Lemaire has
been arrested and will have his trial this

OJMr. Sutherland, the Waterman Of the
Kentucky No. who shot Kelly, had another
trial on Friday last and was acquitted BY
the jury. We presume that the jury in arriv-
ing at this conclusion recognized the right in
a man to act in self defence when he was
about getting his brains knocked out. The
first jury did not agree.

0TEmma Snodgrass was again arrested
in Boston on Friday, together with COM

into Harriet French, after having passed
through variety of ROMANTIC male sobri-

She sported a Kossuth hat, shiny gtiters
model cane, black pants coat, and all that.
Emma was sent to New York to her father
in custody Of an officer; and Aarriet was SEN
fenced to the House Of Reformation for six
months. This was afterwards so qualified as
to permit her twenty-sour hours to leave the
city-whicb she promised to do.
