Iorrid Murders OH Lon. Island.


About twelve O'Clock on Friday night, two SER
want girls in the employ of Mr.. James Wickham,
at Cutchogue, in South old town, L. L., were
'wekoned by the cries of some Of the inmates of
The house, and on listening, heard repeated blows,
Is il somebody was being struck on the head, and
lso heard Mrs. Wickham exclaim, ssNicholas,
don't kill h.ni, don't kill him." Upon this, the
girl supposing that Mr.. Wickham was being MUIR
Tered, got out of an attic window and fled to the
nearest neighbors, and gave the alarm.
The house was Immediately visited, and pre-
scnted horrible spectacle. Mr.. Wickham, who
was formerly a merchant in this city, aud a
wealthy farmer, lay weltering in his blood, his
head literally cut to pieces, and apparently in the
last gasp of his existence; and when our inform
mt left the scene, he yet breathing, although
unconscious, with no hope of his recovery. Mrs.
Frances Wickham, his wife was dead, she, having
had her brains completely knocked out, which:
together with her blood, was scattered about the
room. Mrs. w. was but thirty-fve years of age.
A negro boy about fifteen years old, who was liv-
ing in the fam ly, was also beat and cut about
the head to such an extent that he cannot survive
his injuries; and he too is in such a condit: on
that he is unable to give any account Of the des-
perate murderer. The deed was committed with
post-ax, an implement used for the purpose of
hOling posts for fences.
The murderer Of the above persons is supposed
to be an Irisliman by the name of Nicholas Dane,
who was in the employ of Mr.. Wickham, but
whom Mr.. w. had discharged short time before.
At the last accounts Mr.. Wickham and the negro
roy we're just alive.

STEAMBOAT DISASTERS o. THE WESTERN WA
rERs-Bv communication recently submitted to
the House by Secretary Davis, it appears tn I,
during the year ending October l, 1853, no less
than twenty-five steambo ITS were snagsed, occa-
SION ng destruction of property to the amount
of $2,250 900. Property lost by sinking of ha'
boats estimated at $25O,000. Estimated value Of
steamboats, sunk, 100000. The annual loss OF
property from steamboat disasters on the Missis-
sippi and tributaries exceeds S., 900 900. From
the fact that the secretary, in this communication,
furnishes estimates for the improvement of tn
navigation of the Western rivers, it is believed
that the President, who is reported to have vetoed
the Insane bill at the suggestion of this member
of the Cabinet, would sign and urge the passage
of a bill for the improvement of the Western riv-
ers and harbOrs.

The CRcAssIANs.-They have nothing like a
written law among them. but are governed by a
sort of common right, or what has become an esta-
blished custom from ancient usage. The great
bulk of the people assemble on important occa-
sions in sort of general counsel, where the Prince
always opens the business, and proposes the meas
ures he thinks should be taken for the consider
alton of the assembly The whole body of mobiles
then deliberate on what he has brought forward,
and the result is referred to a certain number Of
grave personagcs chosen fiom the people, who,
by their patriarchal eonsequ enee and their emf
nent wisdom, have required the title of Elders,
selected on the occasion BY the various tribes
These venerable men then discuss the subject in
debate, and each gives his opinion. If three con-
sultatons are found to agree for the measure pro-
posed; and if it is question Of social right, the
deeision becomes precedent, and is binding as q
national decree.

company have taken with them oxen, farming

Mr.. McKenty also informs us that good, ster-

We must have railroad up the Valley of tn
Minnesota. We don't expect it this year, but it
must be built, and in less than FIVE years from
