FATE OF CHARLES NJ. DUEFgY.-Is will be re-
nembered by the great majority Of cur readers,
that this most worthy young man has disappeared
rather mysteriously from steamer. upon which lie
was ascending Oh. stream, few weeks since, re-
turning holnc from an eastern tor. Inssmuch as
such esse would enist great deal OF attention,
both from its peculiarly, and from other causes, we
have exerted ourselves to procure correct account
Of the unhappy aftaiE.
1t seems that Mr. Duffey started for this city
from SInithsnd, Sunday Isl A7rii, O'Clock P. NJ,
OF the steamer Rock City. And being quite IN
well st the time Of his departure, retired to his
room soon after supper, and at ii O'Clock, when his
room mate retired, he stiil in his berth; the
door leadiog to the guards OF the boat was found
open next morning. 1t is believed, that in his
sleep, he wandered too sr and feI overheard; and
being nearly worn down with indispostion, was
unable to save himself. The clothes watch and
pocket book of DIR. Duffev, were left in the room,
and properly taken care Of Mr. Dufey was about
% years old, was born in, Hattsvie, Tenn, but for
some time, has liEed in Haydensville Kentucky
To the worthy father of this young man, VS. DO
feel prepared to offer our most heartfelt sympathieg,
for tbs, another, and q sad bereavement, which he
has been compelled to experience in so short q
period. May the Almoner of all good, reward him
richly in the next world, for the severe trials IN
dcrgone recently.
Since the above was in type we are informed
that the body OF hlr. Daffey has been recovered,
and was landed here on Wednesday night having
been recovered few miles above EGdyVille, Ken

DIED - RICHARD FLETCHER, at bis residence in
Jackson, Miss, after & brief illness, on the 18th
inst He was kind, generous and magusnimous;
and we believe we speak the truth when we say,
that he had not enemy in the world. He was
cutoff in the meridian of life, and leaves widow
and orphan child to realize the bitterness OF his
early fate. Mr.. FLETCHER was native of Nash
vile, Tenn, where his father was 81 eminent law
yer. Since manhood he has resided in Mississippi.
Last year he was elected Mayor Of the City, and
declined re- election, which would have been con-
ferred with unanimity. During the epidemic in
that city last fall he remained at bis post and per-
formed faithfully the duties Of his Office, and min
stered to the wants of the sick He passed through
the ravsges of the yellowfeVer unscathed, to fall
victim to the Destroyer, when it was least ex-
pected. He met death with quiet submission to q
Divine decree, dying only aa the just man knows
how to die.
His funeral took place from the Presbyterian
Church, where solemn prayer was offered up by
the Rev. ME-. Caskey, and an impressive discourse
was delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Godfrey. His re-
mains were attended to the grave by not less than
a thousand persons, and were deposited with the
impressive ceremonies of Odd Fellowship and Ma

THE LONDON PRESS ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS


The London Times has a couple of articles on
American affairs which we re-publish elsewhere
Beth refer mainly to the Cubs question. and are
full of the cid rubbish about its being shocking
thing to covet your neighbor's wife his OK, Bis
sss, or anything that is his For al answer 10 all
which our London contemporary may safely refer
to the history of q nation which has bsen ecnl-
monty represented by her children as model of
fair dealing, equity ard bonor-Euglsnd in short.
After being herself the prey Of three different
races of plunderers, Danes, Ssxous snd NormaDs.
all of whom were Professionals, living on whst
they stole, and having iutermarried with the fair
British girls, begat the present races of British
prumb'ers at American dishonesty. England be-
gan her own history by plundering the Scotch,
who in return plundered the English. Afterward,
size plundesed the French, and took from them
nearly all of the Northern and most of the West
ern Provinces. She then plandered the irish.
who, being wild sort Of people, and wretchedly
uncivilizRd, spent their time in piun6erng each
other instead Of the world. Passing to foreign
countries England plundered the indians of N.
America, ani killed few for murmurng; from
which act Of rapine ultimately grew the Unitei
States. In Asia, the same England plurdered
few score OF native potentates, and took their
dominions To mention small grabs, SUI b ss
Malta, Gibraltar, Jamaica, would hardly repay the
trouble Suffice it TO say, that from first to last
the glorious Anglo Saxon race has always been
race of plundegers, and so far from obeying tn
ninth commandment have never been able to see
any one in possession of anything that was desi-
rable without coveting it and taking it on the spot

CENTRAL SoUTHERH RAMRoAp.-The Directors Of

instructed their President TO pass over the different
surveys fer the purpose OF procuring the right Of

rectors deemed it nadvisable to make any location
Of the road until the people living thereupon could
be heard. The report Of the Engineer will show
that the stock will be rernuuerGtive upon his est

different grade and less expensive mode Of bridging

WHAT TTsTHE DIFFERENCE,

What is the difference between the posi-
ton Of Atchison the leader ofthe MISSOURI
ruffisns, who invaded Kansas, and set at de-
fiance the authority of the people, and that OF
Lyman w. Hall and his associates, who
would do the same thingi
Atchison is a member of the secret or.
der Of Know Nothings, and so likewise are
Hall aud his associates.
Atchison is opposed 10 allowing the Peo-
pie Of Kansas to create and manage their
own domestic affairs subject only to the con-
stituton Of the United States, and to Preven
them from doing so invaded their Territory
with band of armed ruffians to overawe
them and take the control Of their affairs in
to his own hands. Hall and his followers are
pledged to the same policy and are bound to
do all in their power to render "inoPerativ'
and void" that part of the law Of Congress
which recognizes the right of the people o
Kansas to create and control their owl
domestic affairs.
Now wherein is the difference betweet
the position of Atchison and Hall! L
principle there is not the least shade OF di
ference They are in the same boat togethe
and are guided only by policy, principle
they have none! no, not either Of them.-
