SINGULAR AND FATAL AccIDENT-W learn,
from the Chautaugue County Democrat, that
Mr.. Asher Morgan, an esteemed citizen Of
Pinegrove Township, Warren county, Pennsyl
vania, was instantly killed last Friday, in the
following singular manner. The deceased and
one of his sons who was home on visit, started
out in the morning to repair fence. While
the son was driving stake, the axe which he
was using flew from the handle and struck the
deceased who was standing at distance of
about twelve feet, edge foremost and passing
between two ribs, buried itself to the eye in his
body, fracturing the breast bone, and nearly
dividing the heart. Mn. Morgan was man Of
quiet, retired habits, but was highly esteemed
by those who knew him. He leaves family to
mourn his loss.

From the Cincinnati Gazette, Of Thursday.

The MARTHA WASHINGTON CASE From the
Times Of yesterday afternoon, it appears that
the discussion for the discharge of the prisoners
on a writ of habeas corpus, was brought to a
sudden termination by the grand jury finding
true bills of ofindictment against them, for mur-
der and arson. Kissane and Cummings were
Immediately re-arrested. All Of them then ap-
piled for bail, which the Judge granted, and
fixed at $4,000 each, but on evidence being
offered, shelving the prisoners we're mostly
poor, the bail was reduced to $4,000 for Cole
and Kissane, $6, 900 for Cummings, and So, 900
for the others. The prisoners were all deeply
affected at this state of the case and none Of
them had given bail at the latest date. -ta
The Cincinnati Commercial says 3, III
The exciting scenes attending the examina-
tion of this ever-memorable case, have closed;
the last application, for discharge on the habeas
corpus, was denied, and upon eight Of the con-
spirators the dungeon bolt has been turned,
not to be drawn again for FIVE weary months.
In Arkansas, as in Ohio, all that money could
do was done to secure a discharge Seven law.
yers, many of them of great reputation, were
retained. Scores Of depositions were taken in
different parts of the United States; and scores
Of witnesses and friends brought to Helena to
change the result, which, to those who have
all along been aware of the States resources,
was known must be adverse. So closes the
fourth act of this saddest of dramas. The fifth
is to come in November.

CORRESPONDENTS OF THE ECRusADER.-RoME
May 8, l854.-The Pope is really sick, al.
though for a few days past he has appeared a
little relieved but his disease is Of chronic
character, and it is thought that he will never
recover. He was bled three times in one day.
All this was kept secret, for fear the people
should prepare for revolution. The official
paper was not allowed to speak on the subject,
according to the system Of the papal court,
which always keeps secret the fact that the
Pope is sick indeed, when Gregory XVI.

afterwards of his complaint

I, leased to Messrs. Mediation 4 Prat,
for the term Of Eve yeas-at the &.
piration Of the lease, the lease was giv
en- to Messrs. Ward 4 McHatton,

amounts Of money have been expend-
ed BY the State for the purchase q
machinery, the erection Of buildings,
&C., and it is reported that the lessees
having BY means Of this institution,
accumulated an immense fortune, are
about to retire aud give place, to some
other fortunate individuals. It is said
BY some, that this method OF conduct-
ing the Penitentiary i a decided i'm
provement Oh the old system both as
regards It's police regulations, and its
financial concerns previous to its
being leased, it was an annual expense
to the State ofabout $4,000 Others
say that with the sathe money ap-
propriated and the improvements since
made at the expense Of the State, it
would if conducted upon the old plan
be productive to the State to the amout
annually of at least $40, 00o-and be

The Partisan correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser,
in late letter to that paper. says:
ut is fact that Rachel has sent
her resignation to N Fould, because
the Emperor has been to see her but
twice. She forgets that Louis Phil
ippe went but once in ten years, and
that she never took offence. The no.
tive lies deeper than that.

Edward Everett.

We have noticed for some time tn
gradual formation Of opinion all owe
the nation, in regard to this gentle
man, says the Baltimors Times. 1t i
something to refresh us in these de
generate times, TO know that such 8
man as Everett is an object Of nationa
regard. The corruption party can.
not have undermined the virtue and
intelligence Of the people, when such
virtues and such intellectually as
possessed by-Mr. Everett, finds an al.
most universal devotion. He is ma
tionaf in the broadcast, fullest, and
most republican sense Of that term.
lie is the friend of the people-the
lover of civil and religious liberty-,he
advocate Of peace--the stern opposer
Of European assumpiion-the pro-
moter Of industry, and the representa-
tive of a conservative progress which
must command the appreciation Of all,
aud has in it the true elements of our
national greatness.
Public sentiment, ike q mighty
tide, is setting in towards him. From
the hills of Maine, from the vast int.
rlor Of the continent-from the sunny
South-from the for West-from the
Pacific coast, the voice of the nation,
which cannot be made inaodible, comes
oud in praise and confidence. There
ire crest issues ahead-great results
the touch of time-new des-
lnles for this young Republic. CAL
'oun is gone-Clay and Webster are
'one. Everett, the bosom friend of
ne. and the companion of the other,
lands to-day, the living representa-
i've of their varied qualities. As a
nan, patriot and republican, Edward
Everett has hold upon the hearts
t his countrymeu, which even party
cannon destroy. His future
full Of significance. We mean
