A SHOCKING CAsE.-The New York Tribune
gives letter from Washington, in which this
statement is emboded,-the scene being Georgia:
young man of dissolute habits, who had the
reputation of being hard task II aster, visited one
OF his plantations-an Island some distance from
the Main Land. After an absence of some DAYS
his friends became alarmed and proceeded in search
of lin. No tidings could at first be heard, the
negroes all denying having seen their master At
length, on the promise of reward and pardon, one
man confessed that his master had been murdered,
and that he was buried in a certain spot The
body was found in amangled condition, and five
men, who, upon examination on the spot, were
considered the criminals, were forthwith removed
TO barren, the nearest city having Jail.
1t was at once decided that the gentleman in the
immediate vicinity, should form themselves into a
jury and decide promptly upon the guilt or limo
cence of the unfortunate negroes. The verdict
was guilty and sentence of death was passed by
the tribunal Pending these proceedings, the Judge
OF the circuit proceeded 10 Darien, accompanied
by one OF two able lawyers, in the hope of putting
stop to such illegal proceedings; but, finding he
mad no influence, he returned, and the men were
shortly afterwards hung by one of the leading men
in the county.

the husband, was out of doors, and upon heafing
the screams of both wife and mother-in. law, came

out the fire. On going up stairs he found his wife
developed in flames, and her mother also seriously

but not until his wife burned almost to crisp,
very short time. Mrs. Fogle and Nh KYLE were hotb

Pension OyrlcE, February %. 1853.


DEAR SIR:-1 have received and hasten to reply
some remarks made in the House of Representatives
about the appointment of a clerk in the Pension
Office, ''with the understanding that he was 10

son."
presume the case alluded is that of young Col
ling. Shortly after took charge of this office, Mr..
Collins, of Tennessee, one of the clerks, died.
leaving, as was understood, a helpless widow
and SON. 1t occurred to me that the young man,
although mere boy, might be useful, but that it
was not necessary or just to place him ON an equal
footing with the old and experienced clerks in re-
gard TO compensation. l suggested, therefore, in
communication which | addressed to you, that
young Collins should be appointed at the rate of
$500 per annum, and that he residue of $500
should be added to the salary of DR.. Kline, one of
tinn was only 81 600. understand inquiry that
such arrangements had beenf frequently made in
the various Departments, and in the particular case
referred 10 it was dictated solely by considerations
OF humanity and justice. You had no other agency
IN the matter than to give sanction TO the ar
rangement, and it never occurred 10 me that it in
Volved any violation OF law. If tele he any blame
in the transaction, / should at least lake nv full
share of it, as twas upon my representations that
you sanctioned it.
will add, moreover, that it was distinctly I'M.
derstood at the time that the family were perfectly
satisfied with the appointment on the terms pro-
posed. TWAS made at the earnest solicitation of
both mother and son.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

this end she has had her fed counsel and hirellng
agents swarmng around the Capitol here all win

never heard within the walls of our Capitol before
The universal sentiment of all-members and visi-
