not having the money were committed.
Daniel Mack was brought up, charged with
an assault and battery upon Catharine Connors
on the 29th Of June ult
1t appeared that Mr.. Mack had joint right
to well, with Mrs. Connors, which she dis
puted, when Mr.. Mack's wife went to draw
water. The two ladies were in high dispute
on the subject, when, according to the testi-
mony, Mr.. Mack, re-legged, bare-headed,
and with his hair on end, rushed to the scene
of conflict, and laying hold of the windlass,
vowed he would draw a bucket of water.
Mrs Connors vehemently declared he should
not, and seized the windlass in her tight en-
brace to prevent him. 1t was at this moment,
Mrs. Connors averred, that Daniel struck the
blow. One witness, Mrs. Willard, corrobor-
sted the testimony of Mrs. Connors. Seven
witnesses stoutly denied the fact.
The judge, after carefully considering the
rights of the parties to the we'll, and the testi-
mony i'll the case, discharged Mack.

wealth.

Julius Rockwell.

While the praises Of Senator Summer and
his course are upon all tongues, of men of all
parties, save those Of few old fogies, such as
the Boston Post and JsWnal, to whom lib
sral and freedom loving idea would be
source of unmitigated pain, we have felt as if
the manly and independent course of Senator
Rockwell, also, should be duly remembered.
It is doubly grateful to our feelings, to know
that we nop have too Senators who truly rep.
resent Massachusetts, sentiments, feelings, and
principles, and that We may rest assured, that,
in any emergency, our rights and our princi-
pies will be sustained, in the Senate, without
the necessity of looking to Texas, or any
other remote State. for defender.
And, while we felt that Gov. Washburn
placed himselfand the State in a false position,
In relation to the Burns affair, circumstance
shat caused US the most profound regret, as
we know it did many others, of all parties,
we are none the less disposed to give him
the credit which is his due, for the appoint
ment of Mr.. Rockwell. We have no doubt
that strong influences were brought to bear
upon him, in favor of the appointment of
some politician of the bunker clique. Prom
inent among these was Otis P. Lord, who is
Of the same political school with Caleb Cush-
ing, Gov. Everett, Augur Hole Byrnes, Ben.
Hallett,and the Curtises--men who think
Christianity very good institution, provided
1t can be SO welded as to sustain that higher
institution of chattel slavery. We did fear
that Gov. Washb1.rn might be induced to ap.
point Lord, or some other of that class,
and felt it q great relief when Mr.. Rock
wells appointment was announced. We
could have hoped, indeed, that man of
higher intellectual endowments would be Sc
lected-one, who, in that respect as well as by
his good principles and sound morals, would
have done honor to our State. We could have
wished, while we have such men as Stephen
G. Philips, Charles Allen, Richard H. Dana,
John q. Pal1rey and others we might name.
from whom selection could be made, that
they might not be passed by, for men of less
commanding intellectual rank; but, as the sp-
pointment of such was not to be looked for
as Gov. Washburn would feel bound, by the
necessities of his position, to con6ne his Sc
lection to men belonging to the Wing organs
cation, we feel that he is entitled to our thanks,
that, under that restriction, his appointment
was so judiciously made. Mr.. Rockwell,
though he may never surprise the public by
the brilliancy of his efforts, win, We feel very
sure, never cause the blush of shame to man
tie the cheeks of his constituents, by basely
disappearing their principles, or by neglect
ing, according to his ability, manfully to aus
tain them, when an exigency shall imperious-
ly require it.
Mr.. Rockwell's speech, on the occasion of
presenting the Boston memorial for the
repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law. was an ex-
eellent one, and We have heard surprise ex-
pressed, that it has been SO little copied by
the Wing papers of this State.

TROUBLES AT MANCHESTER, n. H.-Rumors
were rife in our city, Tuesday evening. of a
terrible not and loss of life which, it was said
had occurred at Manchester, n. H., between
the Native Americans and the Irish popula-
ton. 1t now appears that there was dis
turbance on Monday night, growing out Of tn
murder of an Irishman week or two since.
The examination Of the murderer took place
on Monday, and he was committed for trial
TIE friends of the murdered man then went
to the criminals house, and broke in the win
dows. A fight ensued between some Amer
leans and Irish, and the windows of the
Catholic Church were broken. No other
damage was done, and all has been quiet
since.
