Murder Near Columbus.

The Columbus Statesman of yesterday says
that the body Of William Whitley, was found
last Sunday evening at the house OF VIM. II.
Howe. on Neips farm, amile or two northwest
of the city. A coroner's inquest was held
yesterday by Justice Field.
1t appears that theprisoner and The deceased
have both been addicted TO intemperance. A
few days since, Whitley who had neither en-
ployment nor a home was invited by Howe 10
accompany him to the residence Of the latter,
and made it his home there. The invitation
was accepted, and one or two days were pass
ed by the parties in hunting. The most friend
ly feelings appeared TO be mutually entertain.
ed. Last Friday, Howe became beostly intox.
icated, and swore that he intended to kill
somebody. His wife, whom he was in the
habit Of abusing when drunk, fled from home
leaving Howe alone with the deceased. Howe
left home between eight and nine o'clock Sat.
urday morninf, and from his singular conduct
the Deigbbors were led 10 suspect that all was
not right. Upon going TO the house, White,
was found in a dying condition. Marks Of vi
olence were found upon bis head, face, body
and arms, He expired on Sunday evening.
Howe was summoned as q witness at the
inquest. He appeared perfectly balm until tn,
warrant for his arrest was read to him, wher
he raved at a great rate, protesting against thu
injustice Of charging him with the murder Of
man whom he had Hospitality given Q home

The Two New Democratic U. s. Senators.

With in the last few days W good Demo-
Gratis have been elected TO the United States
Senate. Their names are DAVID S.. REID, Of
North Carolina, ROBERT W. JOHNSON, OF Ar
kansas. The first mentioned gentleman, Mr..
REID, was for q number Of years in The House
of Representatives from North Carolina, and
has been twice elected Governor Of the State,
n 1850 and 1852. To his great personal pop
ularily and adroit management OF the State
suffrage question, The breaking down Of the
once invincible Wing party Of North Caro-
ina is 10 be ascribed. The large and extra
ordinary majority by which he was reelected
in August, 1852, was a great blow 10 The
Wings, and indicated their utter rout ct the
November election Of tina. year. His return
to the Senate is a deserved compliment to his
ability and party services. He succeeds in
that body the Hon. W. P. MANGUM. Mr. JOHN.
SON, OF Arkansas, has served with distinction
two terms in the House Of Representatives
and is now in the Senate by appointment o,

Tha Acnuitta | of Mrs. Baker.

The verdict Of the jury in Mrs. Bakers case
we believe is generally well received in this
community. Although the deed she commit
ted was unusual and unnatural for a woman,
the conviction obtains that she was wrought
up to it by a series Of prosecutions and attacks
on her fail fame, that justified, as fully as VIC
lence ever is justified, the desperate means o
self protection she adopted.
Huffman, il seems 10 be generally conceded
now, was a libertine and senSuaiist, and the
miserable end he met was not worse than one
in this country might expect, who makes in
trigue the dark and ruling passion Of his crazet
life.
We hope that Mrs. Baker, now that she il
acquitted, and the enemy Of her domestic
peace is d, ad, may enjoy that Seclusion ant
q~uietude which is every true woman's birth
right.--St. Louis htslhgencer, 2Sd.

The Escape from the "sisterhOod" at EN-
mitahurp.

The Frederick Citizen has the following
version ofthis affair, the first accounted which
appeared in the Examiner:
Miss Bunkley is from Norfolk, Va, and o
convert to the Catholic faith. She went TO
the siSterhood about two years ago on a visit
and TO make a religious retreat. She then
petitioned to be received, but on being advised
10 wait and consider the ma tier, (it being q
rule OF the society to admit none unless there
is a strong assurance Of marked voca,ion,)
she returned home. A year after she renewed
her application and was admitted on trial. In
this capacity, asa mere probationer or novice,
and not O sister, Miss. B. resided at the sister,
hood for the las; ten months or the!eabouts,
and was engaged in teaching, &c., until Tues
day morning, the 9Th inst, q short time before
the morning bell, when she got out Of the
window OF her chamber and departed. II is
presumed that she contemplated taking the
stage for Frederick, which passes only few
hundred yards from the institution, but being
disappointed in meeting it she proceeded on
foot 10 Creagerstown, a distance OF six or sew
ell miles. We understand that she had al
ways expressed herself as perfectly happy,ant
even repeated this sentiment the very day be
fore she left.

Horrible Murder-The Power Of Conscience.
We copy the following strange particular.
| finn fhr Rnlimnra Sun of MnnlnY.

from the Baltimore Sun OF Monday
About Two months since we gave an ac-
count OF the murder OF Mrs. Noble, in Balti-
more county, about six miles from the city,
on the Philadelphia turnpike. Her body was
found terribly mutilated, in a large tub, upon
which had been placed a large stone on the
top a plank. The murder caused great ex-
element in The neighbOl hood, and a. the opin-
ioniwas tliat..her husband, Frederick Noble, was
the murderer, great efforts were made for his
arrest. That he was the murderer, became
the more apparent, on account oil his absence
from his farm where everything was lelt IN
confusion. The Governor OF the State was
induced to offer q reward Of $500 for his APP
prehension, and a particular description was
given OF his person &c.
So matters remained until yesterday morning,
when another horrible scene was presented.
Early in the morning Justice Lewis Franklin
berger was informed that q man was hanging
dead in q barn on the farm Of Noble. Upon
examination it wal found that 1t was The rel,
ugee murderer, Noble himself. 1t appeared
that he had climbed up on the out side OF The
barn, or fodder house, reaching The second
story; where he stood upon a layer Of sheet
wheat. Here, with a new razor, which had
been tightly bound around the handle so as 10
keep The blade fr m slipping, he had cut his
throat, completely S%everlng the w%lndpipe.-
From the spot where his throat was cut, he
appeared 10 have gone about six feet, where
he hung himself with some twine about the
thickness of a rye straw, the same with which
the raz0r was bound. " hen found he was
dressed IN an entire new suit ofclotles, inside
and out, and in his pocket was a new ra-
zor and a new penknife. He was also %cleanly
shaved.
On his person was found o letter written in
German, in which he fully confessed his agen.
cy in his wiGe's death; and attributes the
cause TO jealousy. He says in a letter that Q
dispute arose between him and his wife
when she said 'you had better kill me ant
then kill YOURSELF" He then went out into
the yard and got an axe ant struck her on The
back oflhe neck, killing her. He let her Ia,
for two hours when he got a barrel, into
which he thrust the body, and snnk it in the
ground and coveIed it with another barrel, Il
prevent discovery.

Great Disaster on the Mississippi-Twc
Steamboats, Sunk.

pLthHpOhLs puuks
We have been informed by Csptnin r. B.
Miller, pilot Of the steamer Grand Toter, who
arrived here last evening, by railroad from
Cairo, that that boat struck upon a rock on
Saturday morning, the 25th inst, shortly after
leaving Cairo on her way up to This port
The Grand TO,cer had just rounded oul into
the stream and sunk in twenty. three feet OF
water. a break was made IN her hull, in
the vicinity Of her wheel house, by a collision
which caused her 10 fill so rapidly that no
time was afforded for saving the cargo.
The boat is considered q perfect loss as she
broke in two Immediately after striking, and
los at present with bow and stern submerged.
She had aboard a large numberof German EN-.
igrants and cabin passengers.
Her freight consisted OF two thousand bars
OF railroad iron, in addition 10 q great deal o
valuable merchandise,
So rapidly did the vessel sink that the pas
sengers had scarcely time 10 escape tn q barge
which the Grand Toner had in tow. Not
withstanding the confusion which prevailed,
and the imminence OF the danger, we are hap
by to learn that no lives were lost.
We also learn from Capt. Miller that the
steamer Pacific, on her downward trip from
this port 10 New Orleans, struck a snag on
the morning Of the 23d inst, at DEVILS Elbow
but succeeded in reaching the western shore
OF the river, where she sunk. The Grand
Toner rendered her every assistance, and had
some OF the PacDfe's passengers Aboard at the
time OF her own unfortunate wreck. The
boat and cargo are reported total loss-the
latter consisting chiefly Of corn, flour and
hemp. No lives lost.-St. Louis Democrat,

A Negro Execution in Virginia.

Yesterday, between II and 10 o'clock, me-
gro W aShington, the slave OF Thomas o. Bur-
ton, was put 10 death on The gallows IN a "a
vine a short distance from the Poor House,
precisely on the spot on which the two pirates
Clements and Reed, paid the penalty of their
erin eS about two years since. Negro Wash.
ingtoh, a few weeks ago, was found guilty, by
the County Court. of Henrico, OF setting
fire 10 a barn on the farm of Benjamin w.
Green, six miles west of this city; and for this
crime he was executed. He was taken 10 the
gallows in a furniture wagon; and after a con-
versation OF about fifteen minutes with Mr..
Hutchinson, Sheriff of Henrico county, the
rope WIS attached 10 the crossbeam, the wag-
on moved off, and the wretched creature was
launched from time into eternity.
No clergy attended his last moments, and
the solemn affair was attended with but little
certmony. He went 10 the gallows in a la
borer'S dress, Of shirt, pantaloons, and a small
old sharp-crowned white hat; and in these
clothes, with the addition of a white hand
kercheif over his eyes, he was hanged. To
the very last moment he persisted in de-
cl1ring his innocence of tie crime for which
his life was 10 be taken Five or six hundred
persons, chiefly negroes, were present to wit
ness the execution. The smallnesS Of the
gathering we regurd as an evidence that exc
cutionS have lost their novelty in this city.
The criminal was q young and stout man oil
ginger bread complexion, and strongly marked
with negro feature, havinga large mouth, thick
lips, and a physiognomy indicative Of greal
stupidity. 1t was evident from his looks and
demeanor at the gallowS, that he had not sufi'
clint mind to comprehend and realize his awful
S %tuation. From the first to The last he ex.
bibited not the slightest senSibility, but yield
ed to the awful penalty with as much GOODNESS
and comPosure as if assignt d an ordinary dut,
OF every day life.

WASHINGTON, Nov Oath.
If the President, as has been stated, desires
10 keen back his annual message from the pub
lie, till 1t shall be communicated to Congress
he will not have it printed several days in ad-
vance of its communication. Last year the
nrinted comics Of the message were surreptl-
~tiously distributed and published before it was
presented TO Congress. The message will
undoubtedly treat very fully on the subject
Of our foreign relations and Will take an unus-
ually high tone in regard to them.
Concerning France, there is an evident de-
sire on .he part of the Administration to take
a conciliatoy course. Her hostility is appar-
emily more deprecated than that of England.
In regard to our relations with Great Brt-
ain, ii is impossible for the President at the
present time, TO present anything which is not
OF the most satisfactory character, and full oil
promise, both Of continued amity, and mcreas-
ing commercial intercourse. The adjustment
of ONE matters relative 10 Central America
is about to be affected, and the propositions
of last year for the settlement Of questions re-
lating TO the "posSessory rights" and touch
ing establishments of the British Hudson'S
Bay Company, have, probably, with som mod
ifcalions, been accepted.
The President will be obliged to say some
thing about the Sandwich Islands, but 1t is
very clear that he is not yet preparedto lay be-
fore the Senate any treaty for the cesslon oil
annexation of the same 10 The United States,
It will also be found. | imagine, that the pro-
iect for the acquisition of SANTANA is incom'
plete
The great point in the Message will be the
Black Warrior quarrel with Spain. All tina
the President has heretofore said and threat
ened on that subject, will be repeated, and
probably with q distinct declaration that the
honor of the country requires that hostile
measures be taken aga INST Spain on account
of her continued refusal Of redress or repara-
ton FOR the outrage on the Black Warrior.
The great bur,hen of the Message will, aftel
all, relate to the Presidents views on the sub
iect of Territorial improvement by the Genera
Government. He will present, in fnll his rsa'
sons, a heretofore promised, for his veto o.
the River and Harbor bill of last session.
The Presidents objections will not howev'
er, apply to all cases Of publicworks, and viii
not prevent Congress from maturing and pas
sing another scheme, with fever provisions
perhaps, for works oft local character.
In the face of a revenue of seventy-thret
Millions, the President will, OF course, renew
the recommendation Of fast year for a revision
and reduction ofthe Tariff. The commit Tee
on WAYS and Means may not concur in an!
project which the Secretary Of the TreaSur!
may present, but they will feel themselves
obliged to produce a project of some sort; hu,
that Congress will act upon it, is not so ver.
certain.

uEntire Satisfaction seems 10 be give to
all who make use OF S!abler's AnodYne Cher
~ Expectorant and Diarrhea Cordial. At
least such is the assertion made by Sorle thirty
odd OF the most respectable merchants Of Ma

that they have never known any remedies to

which they are pre- cribed. This, although
very gratifying, is not singular, when it is re-

these medicines are compounded are in strict

nent parts carefully selected from pure and un-
adulterated drugs, and approved by hundreds
Of experienced physician. For Coughs, Colds,
and diseases of the lungs and throat, the An
