The keeper of the grog-shop al or near

in this vicinity, has paid, for the
two years license he has kept it, say ts0enty-
dollars. into the County or State Treasury

with strong drink, who rush upon a mar and
take his life. Let US see how much Wake

Nicholas regarded neither her threats or

wards her. IS if watching a favorable oppor-
tunity to spring to her side and clasp her to
his repuisive Losom. The moment he came
in reach the terrified maiden summoned her
strength, made more powerful by excitement,
and with it all concentrated in one blow she
brought the heavy chair down upon the free
hooters head and he fell like a stricken OK
to the floor.
The horrible reflection rushed upon the
mind of the bewildered captive that she had
killed a Human being, and had hurried his
spirit loaded with sin to the Throne of the
Eternal! The chair dropped from her hama
and she shrieked for help. In a few moments
the Pirates's band rushed into the room, and
seeing their leader upon the floor breathless
and motionless, they sent up q discordant
howl of mingled rage and grief and then
bore his body away while one, the most hid
cous Of the crew, slung Agnes to the other
side of the room and then closed the door af-
ter him, leaving Agnes alone, and followed
after the body Of his master, uttering Mt eve
ry step curses and imprecations upon the
maiden.

he hoped it might be instrumental in saving
his relative from a drunkard's grave. We
sincerely hope our young friend may find it
as bread cast on the waters to return after, or
before, many days. We shall try so to APP
peal to those who read our paper, and are in

THE FOREIGN NEWs.-It will be seen that
the last advices from the East, received by
the Europa, are as strongly Indicative Of war
as ever. The Sultan having accepted the
last Vienna note, will throw the responsible
ty upon the Gar, but he is evidently too
much committed to retreat, and the cordial
understanding now effected between Turkey
and the -Four Powers secures their active aid
in case he does not.
The rumor from Madrid that the elder
Soule has been killed in a third duel, with
the Duke of Alba, can hardly be true. If it
is, the deplorable catastrophe will throw in
to yet stronger relief the absurdity of the
transactions which led to it. Madrid Cor
respondent of the N. Y. Herald gives a rath-
er different version of the affair from those
accounts which have reached us through the
French papers. Mr.. Soule was not quite 50
far in the wrong as they represented him,
but still we concur with our neighbor Of the
Post, in saying we can see no sufficient pro
vocation in the incident in which the quarrel
originated to justify such serious cOnsequen.
our country has been misrepresented in it,
character by the American parties. 1t is al
together indefensible in an American minis
ter to participate IN the double crime Of muir
der and suicide, and to select the Christian
Sabbath as the day for its preparation.

KossUrH n TURKEY.-The New York
Times says that private letters received hy the
Europa from Gov. Kossuth state that he was
induced to postpone his departure for Con-
stantinople, which had been positively fixed
for the 23d of December, by the necessity of
some further preparations. He states explicit
ly, however, that he has been inUited to Tar
KEY by the government and adds that provision
will be made to transport thither from the
United States all the Hungarians who proved
themselves good soldiers 10 their war for indie
pendeuce, nd who may desire to 60.

City Election.

At an election held in this City. on the

sen Intendant, without opposition, and Mes
srs. E. Smith, DR.. VIM II. Mckee. Seaton

ers. The following is the vote:

Gen. r. w. Haywood 40.

DR.. J. j.. W. Tucker 43.
The election was somewhat exciting, and
conducted with considerable animation, tho
without any acrimoniousness 0 ffeeling. The
issue was License" and "Anti-License"
of Grog Shops in our City; and the result is
the election of four on the License ticket
Messrs. Root, Gales, Proctor and Mckee,
and three anti-license, viz Messrs. Whiting,
Smith and German. For tha year past, the
policy Of the Board was to reject all applica-
tons for license in the City, come from whom
they might. So far as this election shows,
it appears that such an exclusive course is
disapproved of by a majority of those whc
voted, and the result is, the election of a ma
jority of gentlemen whose names were on the
license ticket.
We do not know, of course, how far com
mitted, or pledged, these gentlemen are t.
go in licensing grog shops in this communit.
whether any or all-but as they are mel
of position and influence, having a deep in
terest in the welfare, prosperity, happines
and quietude of our City-it is presume
they will endeavor to act in such manner a
will conduce to these desirable ends. At al
events, we shall have an opportunity of tes'
ing whether either a discriminating" Q
general lic~ensingpolicy (which ever cours
may be pursued) will better meet the SAM
ton ofour citizens, when tried, than the SCI
elusive system adopted by the old Board
There are men elected on the license sic
whose hdeStS we know to be in the rigI
place generally, and who would not wilful
!, do that which would prove an injury to cor
f munity. On such we rest our hopes.
