MURDER WILL OUT. Speaking of the disinterment
and post mortem examination of Miss Agnes Pharr,
the Greenbrier Era says:
The sudden death of Miss Agnes Pharr the daugh-
ter of the esteemed Presbyterian Clergyman at Gov
ington, Allcghana county, last winter, remarked
upon by the press at that time. She in perfect
health in the morning. but died suddenly in the af
ternoon under symptoms peculiar to death from stych-
nine.
Suspicion was aroused, and meeting of citizens
called. Into this DR.. Thompson, the family
physician of Rev. Mr. Pharr, invited. He pro-
tested innocence, and also desire to have the body
examined, that he thereby clear himself ofsuS
picion With the understanding that such examina-
ton would take place, the meeting dispersed. But
no examination took place. DR.. Thompson shirked
out OF it on pretcnce that he did not wish to wound
the feelings of her parentsCO Suspicion was not
therefore aflayed. 1t went on gathering strength
until there was scarce village in the region round
In which the matter was not canvassed..
About SIX weeks ago two young men wrote to the
editor OF the Lynchburg Republican upon the mat
ter which furnished grounds for the article which
appeared in that paper, and which and other ed
ltors have copied. Emboldened by the supposition
that the body of the murdered had so far mouldered
away as to hide all indications of his guilt Dr. T.
went to Lynchburg, procured the names of the au-
thors of the statement in the Republican and return
ed and prosecuted Them for SANDER O He also pros
ccuted five other persons in Covington. Seeing tho
editorial in the Era of the 18th ult he sent his broth
err over to deal with He threatened but his tul-
men ended in breath.
We felt a conviction all along that something
wrong Our suspicious were grounded upon the
fact that he engaged" to Miss Pharr-that her
death was sudden, with symptoms peculiar to death
from strychnine-that he showed heartless and
brutal insensibility on the cay of her death-that
anonymous letters sent to several of our town
physicians with many other correlative facts. Hence
we spoke with greater freedom than we otherwise
should Our suspicious were somewhat confirmed
by the arrival of two of the prosecuted, who came
hither to get physicians to make an examination of
the buried body. So Strong were their suspicious
that they were ready and willing to prove themselves
guilty of SANDER by such course, If the DR.. acas
innocent! They failed in their mission hther; but
they got aid elsewhere.
The body of Miss Pharr was disinterred last Fri
day, and post mortem examination formally made
under the auspices of DR.. Estell of Lexington. The
examination showed fetdsi in the womb five months
old, and the stomach gave such signs Of containing
poison authorized expression of belief in such
fact by the board of examining physicians.
On Saturday Thompson brought before an
examining Court and fully committed for trial. Large
bail was offered, but properly refused
That he is guilty of debauching the yo,ng acoaGr,
and Of numbering her and her. child, we have no
doubt.

WASHINGTON, August ii. At the Navy Yard

about hundred and twenty feet of it destroyed,
leaving nothing but the bare walls. Both of the
large cranes were also consumed. The engine, boil
ers, and portion of the frames and models We're
saved. The persons present all escaped without in

The marines of the garrison and the sailors were
prompt and efficient on the occasion, and deserve
great praise for their exertions to extinguSh the

A GREAT VICTORY.

After one of the most animated contests ever
rrovn in this State, and Notwithstanding resort
h our opponents to all kinds of misrepresentation
md false issues the Democrats have carried the Go
-rnor by handsome majority and the Legislature
br from eighteen to twenty on joint ballot.
We have no wish, now that the contest is over,
and our adversaries Frustrated, to revive recolec-
+ous which must be unpleasant to them-to remind
anne of them that, though victory could not be Sc
rured, their honor might have been preserved I'M
,srnished. Let the demagogues, the calumniators,
,be rettersup of false issues and the ready makers
and propagators of fasehoods-all looking to the
defeat of as pure patriot ever lived in the State
md to the elevation of man to office for which
ho IS not fitted either by education or by principles
sink back into the contempt and insignifcance to
which the voice of the people has consigned them;
hit let harmony and good feeling again prevail
among the masses of the people of both parties-the
,.ncushed al ike with the victorious. This is tho
.aoDLes government. Honest differences of opinion
orc TO be expected, and these differences are always
f service in free State but faction receives
On severe and effective a rebuke when, as in this
case it is administered by the people themselves
The result of this great victory is, in the first
,ocn an assurance that the laws of the State will
continue to be made and executed by Democratic
AGENTS, under whose auspices during the last four
Years all interests have so prospered; and secondly,
tro Democratic United States Senators will be
cured one for four and the other for six years. The
people have also declared, *
First for Free Suffrage by legislative enactment,
and against Convention.
Secondly in favor of judicious and progressive
system of internal improvements, with justice to all
parts of the State.
Tkir7ly in favor of the Administration of Presi-
dent Pierce which has borne itself well in its in
tercourse with foreign governments, and proved so
true to the Constitutional rights of the slaveholding
States.
North Carolina has taken position, permanently
and finally side by side with the Democratic States
Of the South This is her natural position, and we
have full confidence she will maintain it.
There is one thing, however certain, and that is,
that Mr. Bragg is by means so sure OF his election
as the journal and Standard represent. They have
very cooly taken time by the forelock, and positively
announced his success.
Our own conclusion of the whole matter is, that
Gen. Dockery is Governor elect of North Carolina.
