The SUICIDE IN EAST ABINGToN.-In addition
to the particulars published in the journal, re-
lative to the suicide Of Mr.. Nash and Miss
Sampson in East Arlington yesterday morning,
we learn that the deceased were seen walking
together, apparently in a contemplative mood,
between the hours of l and o'clock yesterday
morning, on the margin of the pond in which
following is copy Of a letter left by Miss
Sampson, in her chamber in Stoughton:
SToUGHToN
My Dear Friend: 1t is with my right mind
that | write these lines and also that which |
am going to do. l am tired of this world, and
so is my own dear friend, so must say that to-
but, dear friend, I thank you for your kindness
towards me which has been very great Call
on my spirit.
Our bodies will be found in e. Abingdon pond
where my own dear companion will accompany
me to another world; life may be sweet to you
but 1 must go where my own love goes; tell
Mr.. Morton | thank him also for his kindness
My best wishes leave to all the children. |
did not dream of this this morning, but please
send this to aunt Chloe which / leave and some
of them will come here and get what | left
money l leave to get them here, it is with pain
that start from here but must say good bye.
My aunt Chloe and sisters [ now leave this
world to yourselves which Ihopeyou will enjoy,
don't think of me only that have gone with my
companion to rest and to meet my Father /
hope; here are my rings and his in my trunk
but all Of you need not think you have led me
to this, it is my own self Mother l hope you
will think of Father and me, so good bye Aunt
Chloe have not forgotten your kindness which
guess none of us will doubt; don't think OF
me, good bye Maddy and Jenny. We sign our
names, ADRIANNA B. SAMPSON,
ISAAC P. NASH

SINGULAR The Niagara Democrat relates,
on the authority Of several persons who were
said to be cognizant of the fact, that young
woman Of that place, while returning home a
few evenings since, was arrested in her walk by
an irresistible impulse, and compelled to go in
another direction to the railroad, where she
found Q child asleep, lying across one of the
rails Of the road. She had barely time to snatch
it from the track before the train came dash
ing by.

from New York, and had accidentally passed
Bridgeport, where he should have got out.

INTERESTING TO WOODEN MANUFACTURERS
The Washington Pa.) Reporter states that the
clip of wool in that county, this season. is large,
and that full onethird Of last years crop is still
on hand. Some very good clips have sold at 40
cents, and none over As cents per lb The Re-
porter is Of opinion that the bulk of the wool in
that county will be sold at from 40 to so cents
per lb. The market, however, is dull with no
prospect Of last years prices being realized.

CINCINNATI, Aug. /.


The powder magazine ut Maysville was
fired by some miscreant, at o'clock yester-
day-the explosion was terrific, the magazine
containing 800 kegs of gunpowder. Thirteen
houses were buried, but, singular to say, not
a life was lost by the actual explosion, and
but few were injured. One lady, however,
has since died from the effects of the fright
The citizens were so much alarmed, that
some minutes elapsed before any one would
60 into the street, the general impression be-
ing that the "Day of Judgment" had COME
When the citizens sailed out they found the
streets covered with the fragments of demol-
ished houses, &c. The damage to property
is between $4,000 and 100000.
The Mayor has offered reward of $1,000
for information that will lead to the convic-
ton of the rascal that set fire to the maya
zine.

edited by the speaker of the late Pennsylva-

"We support Governor Bigler, and we
firmly believe, not without reason, that he ioill

promise. He cannot do it, as we believe, con-
sistently with his past doctrines--he cannot
do it consistently with the broad and une-
quivocal endorsement which he gave the ad-
justment of 1850 as final settlement of the
Slavery question, never again to be opened
by Congress, for by this act it has been OPEN

tW- Can't. Parker, of the British Dovv.

eB Capt. Parker, of the British navy, who
was killed near Sulina, was shot through the
heart whilst very imprudently attempting, at
the head of his men, to drive the Russians
from stockade in the jungle. The attack
was finally successful; not, however, till after
brave and desperate resistance on the part
of the Russians. The Russian officers stood
their ground, though in the face of certain
death. The unfortunate commander who fell
in this affair, it is said, was one of the young
est post captains in the navy; he had just
completed his 29th year. He was the son of
Admiral Hyde Parker, late one of the Lords
of the Admiralty.

THE KNOW.NOTHINGS.

We find the following article in the Baptist
Recorder of Louisville. Taken in connec-
lion with the expressed convictions Of large
number of the Protestant religious presses
and the excitement that pervades different
sections of our land, it is very significant;
This new element in politics is said to have
sprung from sectarian bigotry. Its watch
word and its life are said TO be determined
opposition to the Catholic church and doc
trines. 1t, therefore, in the minds of many,
assumes the aspect Of religious crusade,
prescribing the best men for their religious
opinions. But this, from the friends OF this
new order, has received the most unqualified
denial. 1t is not the Roman Catholic reli-
gion, but Roman Catholic politics, which they
oppose. While the Catholic Church stands
apart from politics, and pursues her mission,
whatever it may be, without claiming dis
!lnct voice, and without wishing to be known
as distinct power in political contests
while this is the case, she has right to stand
unassailed by political weapons, and protect
ed by the sympathes of every lover OF re-
ligious freedom. But when the Catholic
population combine as II party, for political
purposes, our sacred liberties demand that it
should be met by counter combinations
Such combinations Romanists have publicly
and unblushingly avowed. While every
other church is unknown in political partyism,
we continually hear of the "Catholic vote"
the "Catholic influence and interests" If
there is strong and bitter opposition to Ro-
manists, whose effects are being felt through
out the nation, the Catholics must blame
themselves for its existence. The constitu-
ton of this country knows no religious dis
tinctions. That sacred instrument is I'M
tinged with sectarian coloring. 1t neither
acknowledges the influence nor avows the
existence Of any religious party. Beneath
its broad @gis religion stands alone, to rise
or fall according to its own inherent power.
But the Papal party has stepped from this
equal platform-she has become II political
party, and as such, wishes to make herself
known and felt. On this ground, chosen by
herself, will she be met and defeated. BY all
that makes liberty dear to us; by all that
binds us to our country; by all the heart
stirring trials and triumphs of our forefath.
ers; and by all the hope of our posterity's
happiness, we are determined to give battle
ceaseless, uncompromising battle-to every
politico-reiglous party in this free land of
ours.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 2

There Is not an iota of truth in the rumors
that the Yellow Fever is raging violently in
this city in IN epidemic form. Up to Thurs
day last there had been only three cases.
Since then, one or two more have occurred.
The disease, however, is entirely sporadic, nor
is it probable that it will assume an epidemic
form. 1t is confined to a very small and
much neglected part of the eastern end of
the city near the intersection of Broughton
and East Broad streets, and there is not the
slightest alarm felt by our citizens. The
weather is, also, cool and pleasant, and
strangers visiting the city incur no risk what
ever.
