Nebraska Bill South.

The Louisville Journal speaks as follows rel
atiye to the feeling in the South on the Nebraska
Bill
"THe public sentiment Of The South is manifest.
undergoing a rapid change regarding the Ne
brGsha ti1, it is not improbable that long before il
shall be brought to vote in the House, the entire
South UiA condemn 1t in tones only less loud and in.
dignant than those non going up from The entire
North"
The above we clip from an anti-Nebraska pa
per, and it is generally going the rounds of the
journals opposed to that bill. Now can any Of
them tell why it is that such change is coming
over the South upon this subject! 1t certainly
cannot be because the bill is measure gotten up
for the exclusive benefit of the South, because it is
designed and will have the effect to extend slave
ry aud the slave power. Then why is it! Those
who have read Botts' and Clemens letters will
have little trouble to divine.

Thompson's Bank notc Reporter thus gives the
present condition and prospects of money mat

ears OF croakers:
The TIMEs.--Croukers are always numerous
just before the money market cases up--they are
thick just at present-they see what is not to be
secL-they fancy that impoverished Europe is to
drain US Of all our specie, and that great sus.
pension is at hand
Now, whether we can ascertain the future bet
ter than they, remains to be seen. We predict
an aggregate of prosperity--an accumulation of
wealth, and successful career OF mercantile,
manufacturing and agricultural developments,
never enjoyed on this continent before. A small
portion OF the business community, like trees of
sick.y growth in the forest, will die out and
fall to the ground Money will command a
round rate of interest from the very fact that
pursuits requiring it are in full blast OF prosperi-
ty. by the first of June, all croakers but the
most inveterate, will pine away and die; for
must money making, speculating, enterprising

MAJoR WTsE of the u. s. Army, who was re.
Gently ordered by GEN. Scorr, to embark his reg
iment on beard the FaIcon, an old hull that had
been pronounced unfit for sea, by all the insuran-
ces along the sea board, is now being tried by a
Court Martial for disobeying orders. The fol-
lowing extract gives brief statement of the facts
connected with the matter:
ga portion oi the ARTILLERY regiment destined
for California, and which had previously suffered
shipwreck on the San Francisco, were ordered
by Major Gen. ScoTr to sail from the port of New
York for the Isthmus. The ship selected was
the Falcon, and they were to be under the COM
mand of Major Wyse, the senior officer, we be-
eVe, since the arrest Of Col. Gates for his con-
nectiOn after the disaster attending the first sail
ing of the unfortunate expedition. Major W.,
on inquiry, became satisfied that the Falcon was
nnseaworthy, and asked for commission to ex-
anime her, One was appointed by the Secretary
of War, which, as he afterwards ascertained, re-
ported her favorable to her soundness with
proper examination. He asked that another
might be appointed, but the only report he got
from Gen. Scott was an order TO embark Not
wishing TO run the risk Of another shipwreck, he
naturally enough, refused on the day OF sailing,
and turned over the command of the detachment
to Lieut. Loeser. 1t was for this he was arrest
ed"
The vcsselhad been at sea but single day, be-
fore she was obliged to put into the nearest port
so disabled that she could proceed no further
The wisdom OF the Major, for which he is on trial,
in all probability saved the life of his regiment
for had the Artillery been on board, there is lit.
tie probability that the vessel could ever have
been safely anchored. But Gen. Scott like the
Corporal in "Bleak House," is determined that
"discpline shall be maintained" and because a
regiment is saved from destruction by refusal
to obey the insane official dictum OF superior
officer, who is about as well acquainted with
transport ships, as he is with politics, he is sum-
moned before tribunal to answer to the charge
of daring to preserve the lives of himself and regi-
ment. 1t is good deal like Gen. Harrson's
Court Martial, of Major Croghan, for defending
Fort Stephenson in 1912.

He has selected $4,000 acres-50 sections--ot

twenty bushels of the seed of which he has
on hand for this purpose. Another gentleman,
from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, has recently purchased

The road is proven to be very easy one of low

The Murder Of Bccbe,

Our readers will remember, an article in ou
columns week or two since, detailing the par
ticulars of the murder Of police officer in Co
lumbus, who was attempting to arrest burglar
The following description of the character of the
murderer, is taken from letter written by gen,
tleman at Xenia

Charles ShepPerd, whom we sent to the Peniten-
tiary for passing counterfeit money, April 90
1853, and was pardoned May Sth, 1853. He is
one of the most unaccountable young men ever
saw. He broke our Jail, strong and famous as il
is, twice. The last time, for ingenuity of contri-
vance and successful execution. he riyaIed any
exploit Of the renowned Jack Shepperd, of New
gate memory, from whom presume he has line
ally descended. The first time he was met at the
gatt OF the Jail yard by man who atte empted to
seize him, and was knocked down by Shepherd,
who ran, pursued by others; he frequently turned
and struck at the foremost person, made him re-
coil, and then run ON again, and 50 escaped. For
powers OF bodily endurance, action. promptness
presence OF mind, daring resolution, his equal
cannot be found in this country. His fertility Of
invention fruitful resources and ingenuity in iail
breaking throws Baron Trenck in the shade
One Of our citizens saw him get ouithe cars one
day last week, between here and Cincinnati. He
has his right hand tied up. The butts of two pis-
tolls were seen projecting from his inside coat

bosom. He appeared very much ratigued The
manner in which he was armed was noticed by
other passengers. Your county jail could not hold
