grandest scale. II is known that he will have, by
early spring, an invading army Of seven hundred
thousand men fully equipped. The active part
taken by all the northern courts, especially that
of Austria and Russia in bringing about the Bour-
bon fusion, has deeply excited Louis Napoleon.
He sees in the success Of Nicholas the re-estab-
lishment ofthe Bourbons in France. Hence, not
withstanding his present apparent friendly rela-
tons, or rather pleasant coquetry, with Austria,
he will, in few months, strike for the Italian
States, and attempt TO hold them as the cost Of
Austrian alliance with Russia, and the Orleanists,
and Legtimists.
Louis Napoleon having made up his mind to
fight, will iatter the other powers by canvassing
their propositions for adjustment, until he can
have in movement all the material for an agrees
sive war.-London Cor. ~. Y Herald

The Late Murder In Georgetown.--We men
toned in our paper yesterday, that slave of Mr..
John Harry was assaulted on the aqueduct on
Tuesday night, and, after being MORALLY wounded,
was thrown into the river, where his lifeless body
was discovered Since our publication in rela-
ton to this subject, we have been furnished with
the following verdict: a
The jury of inquest, in the case Of Henry
Butler, colored man, do find that the said Henry
Butler was seen about hafpast six o'clock, on the
Virginia side Of the Alexandria aqueduct, in
company with white man named Richard Sorrel,
or Serle; and that the said Sorrel used angry
woods towards said deceased, which induced one
of the witnesses to leave them, fearing Sorrel
would do something wrong and in few mo-
ments after the said witness left, there were heard
loud cries of murder and distress, by various per-
sons, in the neighborhood, some of whom went to
his relief and found his body drowned in the Pc.
tomac, a few feet from the Virginia end Of the
aqreduct, and from the evidence before them, the
jury believe that some foul play was used towards
the said Henry Butler, by which he was thrown
from the aqueduct in the Potomac river, and
drowned; and the last person seen in said Buffers
company was Richard Sorrel, or Serle."

A New Claimant.--We were much surprised
yesterday by visit from person who unceremo-
neously announced himself as governor Of the
Keystone State, proprietor of the city Of magnif-
cent distances and last though not least the bona
6de President Of the United States. We of course
with profound respect, saluted this triple digni-
tary; but from his outward appearance we con-
cluded he had not long been an incumbent of these
high positions, and that the city of Washington
was an unproductive estate. This supposition
was more than verified when he asked OF us the
loan of shilling to procure supper. For this
trivial act of kindness, little did we expect the
promise Of an appointment, and much less to be
the Secretary of State. But we got it, and ere
long shall make known our position. by settling
the boundary between Mexico and the United
at.s-ifth Senate confirms our nomination.

is written in a hopeful and encouraging spirit He
was at Upernavih. It was hisintention to remain
in the brig as long possible, seeking harbor on
the eastern side of Smiths Sound. The moment
the vessel comes 10 anchor he will leave Olsen, a
trustworthy man, in charge, to prepare for winter
quarters, drop his whale-boat, with HIMSELF the
Esquimaux, and seven men, and take advantage
ofinshore tdeleads to continue his journey to the
north. He anticipates that his return to the brig
will probably be during the solemn darkness Of the
winter night. But, apart from the novelty and ex-
element of such a journey, the moon in her high
northern declination will come in at the very nick
Of time, becoming circumpoar on 18th Octo-
Der and November and giving twelve days of I'M
broken light. Withthe aid of lunars, and constant
ly recurring meridian observations Of the stars, no
danger Of losing his way was apprehended.

A Marriage and Murder.-It was but
few weeks ago we published the marriage Of Hg-
gingbotham, of Raleigh county, to Miss Rebecca
Gwin, of Fayette. We have now to record the
brdegroom's arrest for the murder Of his wife, al
most ere the honeymoon was over. There was
some disparity between the ages OF the pair--16
or Is years--and the marriage seems to have been
consummated with mean motives on the part of
the husband. The bride had property of So, 900
or 81, 900 in her own right, and the husband, who
seems 10 be person ofan obtuse and mean mind
conceived the idea that by getting her out OF the
way he could possess her property. Being at the
Blue sulphur Springs on Christmas day, be bought
two ounces Of arsenic and quantity Of loaf sugar,
and on his return home administered dose to his
wife. The dose was so large that il caused vom-
iting, but enough was left on the stomach to cause
her death in about half an hour, #&4
The husband was over solictous in hurrying
the funeral, which caused her relatives to take the
corpse to her mothers in Fayette. Here they re-
solved upon having coroners inquest held over
the corpse. DR.. Hunter brought the heart and
stomach of the deceased away with him, and last
night submitted the contents of the latter TO seve
raj chemical tests, which concusively show the
presence of arsenic in large quantities.
Higgingbotham is now in Fayette Jail, but as
the crime was committed in Raleigh county, he
will doubtless be removed thither.
