r A'CoLLlsIoN AND OUTRAGE ON THE ONO RIVER.
Saturday afternoon the steamer r. M. Patton,
and the Jacksonville ferry boat, a. Wdthen, came
into collision, while the steamboat was going up
from the wharf to turn out, and cross the falls
From the statement detailed to us, it appears that
the X. Al. Patton was running up to pass the fer
~ boat, when they locked and run that way some
distance. This caused some excitement between
the crews of the respective boats, during which a
hand or fireman on the Patton threw piece OF
coal either at the pilot or some else on the fer
~ boat, but hitting no one. This act exasperated
Mr. Underwood, theipiot of the ferry, got ouroi
his pilot house, drew pistol and deliberately fired
into the crowd on the Patton. The pistol was
charged with shot, some of which struck the Sec
cond mate and two of highlands of the boat, wound
ing one of them very severely in the face.-Louis-

BALTIMORE June Q.
Its a matter ofsregret that so fewsof our met-
chants and business men went as delegates to the
Memphis Convention. Not more than ten have
taken their departure for that important assem-
blage. Those who did go, however. are sterling
enterprising gentlemen. and they have gone well
posted and prepared to urge important measures in
which our city in common with the west, south,
and south west have an abiding interest. The
great enterprise of the Baltimore and Liverpool
steamers. will be urged firmly and have no doubt
effectually. Also the Ship Canal, of no less i'm
portance, to unite the.waters of the chesapeake
and Delaware. This project meets with desired
favor and will be of vast interest.
Tile spirit of goaheaditiveness has taken hold OF
our people in earnest. They are all alive to the
great subject of commerce which has received SO
emphatic an impetus by the opening of the Balti-
mere and Ohio Railroad to your city and to the
waters of your noble rive. w.

MunDEn.-The Richmond Dispatch says it
learns from the Milton, N. c., Chronicle thatweek
before last Jas L winfree, formerly of Richmond,
was murdered by man named Bushrod Harris, in
that town. There was only one witness to the
deed, and she female. Harris had been cruel to
his wife, and had driven her from home, and the
witness was at Harris house on the day of the
murder, which took place there. The parties,
she states, had been playing cards during the day,
and Winfree desired several times to go; but was
prevailed upon by Harris to remain. She states
that she saw Harris making at the deceased to
shoot him with his rife, heard the crack of the n
ie, and, simultaneously with ii, the cry of 'oh
Lord, have mercy! From the direction of the
wound it is supposed that the deceased was on his
knees begging for fe. Harris was imprisoned to
await his trial at the fall term.

Romance Spoiled.

The romance of the story about the restoration
of Miss GRIswoLp, daughter of the renowned
clergyman, young lady who was taken from the
water. at Norwalk, in an insensble condition land
apparently dead, is considerably modified by the
statement that she owes her life not to stage-
driver, but to DR.. WARREN, ofBoston. A cores
pondent OF the Courier and Enquirer says:
ssMiss Griswold was taken from the water and
brought into shed near the bridge, some twenty
minutes after the accident occurred, and was to all
appearances perfectly dead and in the ordinary
ceptation of the team, was so. DR.. Warren, whose
own life had been mraculously preserved. COM
menced Immediately his efforts to restore her. BY
means of strong artificial muscular action, he
pumped the water from her stomach, opening at
the same time the top of her windpipe to admit air
to the lungs. He summoned those around him to
assist in rubbing the body in hopes of restoring
circulation. Some time elapsed before any signs
of life were visible, when slight stranglng sound
encouraged hope. This was succeeded by other
tokens of returning animation, till after two or
three hours constant personal effort, DR.. Warren
had the satisfaction 10 find her fully restored to life,
'The restoration appears the more remarkable
when the circumstances under which twas eff
fected are considered. The place was rough
shed, without conveniences, long time elapsed
before blankets were procured, and the lady had
been dead fifteen or twenty minutes, and it Is said
that the life of drowned person cannot be resto-
red after five minutes have elapsed, The fact,
too, that Miss g. was the only one that was resus-
citated, proves the skill and exertion displayed
She was finally removed to a house, and was left
by DR.. Warren in delirious state, and directions
were given to those in charge not to remit theil
exerlons, and to keep up the circulation by con.
stant,fnction. Miss G. is now pronounced out Of
danger"

MuRDER.-our citizens were onMonday, startl-
ed by the news of the discovery of the mutilated
remains of man in the woods, in Amanda town
ship, near the Pickaway county line. A Coronor's
inquest was held and the testimony ELECTED leaves
no doubt that the remains are those of man who
in March last passed through the neighborhood in
quiring for fat sheep. Hew accompanied by
young man who had nothing to say, and was moi
observed closely by any one. They called at
house near where the remains were found, and
were directed to go to Mr.. Ashbrook's, for which
place they started through these woods; they were
never sen or heard of since. The skull has
bullet hole through it and gives other indications
of violence. No doubt ramained on the mind of
the Coronor's Jury of the mans having been
murdered. The Prosecuting Attorney has promis-
ed us full report of the for next weeks pa
per, from which, perhaps, some clue to the muir
dered mans name may be obtained.-Loneasier

The GAINESVILLE Courier of Saturday evening
says. man was arrested for this murder, to-day,
in GAINESVILLE, by constable from Fairield.-
There were some suspicious that the person last
seen with the murdered man was about this place,
and the officer came over, and, meeting with and
recognizing him, of course arrested him. They
are now on their way to Fairfield, where hea.ing

MERCANTILE FArLuRE.-The failure of house
engaged in the clover speculations at Philadelphia
was announced on changelin that city on Monday.
The Ledger says:
The amount involved we have heard set dow n
at half million of dollars-but this amount is
probably considerably in excess of the real loss.
The failure on Saturday, we learn, was on note
ofSs,000. The parties in the combination, it is
said, have shipped from fifteen TO twenty thou
sand bushels of seed. Tine movement aimed to
control the market, when nearly all the seed with
in reach supposed to be in hands of parties con-
cerned in the speculation the high prices at which
the article had been placed steadily drew on the
market additional lots of one, two and three hum
dred bushels. The amount was more than the
parties could carry or desired to carry, and of
course the price of seed began to fall, and from
eight dollars bushel has fallen to about four and
helf. The action, of which we have reported
the end, has been feared for week or two past,
and during that time has been the subject OF free
conversation among our merchants.
