George w. Julian, of Indiana, the Abolition
candidate for Vice President in As, ina letter
to the National Era, the Abolition organ of the
United States, says:
ST. (Know-N etbipsismJ must be watched, for it has
murdered The e't Slavery cae in Indiana, to an sxtsnt
etc., eta,
We do not wonder at Julian's making the FORE
going remark. Julian, like most Of the leading
Abolitionists is as shrewd as he is unprincipled.
He, with Greeley, Seward, Summer, Hale and
the rest, saw that the American organization
would prove the worst foe they had encountered.
Hence their bitter and unmeasured denunoia-
ton Of it, from its inception up to the present
moment. When it was feeble, they sought to
strangle it, but the infant Hercules bafled all
| their marderous attempts upon its life. When
it hardly had shape or substance they slandered,
maIigned and yiilihed it. When its shadow,
vague and underlined, first rose upon the politi-
cal horizon, they feared while they hated III
They felt the first breathings Of the approaching
storm. In the deepest recesses Of their traitor
GUS souls there we're profound misgivings that o
new Order--a great, national, patriotic society
was arising, which would encompass the
whole land in it's embrace, and drive the plotters
of treason and disunion and the preachers Of
fanatieism into that obseurity from which they
never should have emerged.
From fratto last the Abolitienists have striy-
en- to injure the American party. Without re-
| gard to the commonest preprieties Of warfare,
| they have brought every engine in their power
| to bear, to beat down the new organization.
When the Americanssustained their first defeat
| in Virginia, the joy Of the New York Tribune
far exceeded the joy of the Richmond Enquirer.
the exultation of the Abolitionists far surpassed
/ the exultation of the triumphant supporters Of
Gov. Wise! And, wherever the American par

all Abolitiondom shouts in tones of exultanl
delight, which, We are sorry to say, is Otter

WASHINGTON, Marcn i.
SENATE.--After the receipt of several
communications from the heads Of depart
ments, in pursuance to previous inquiries
from the Senate, Mr.. Cass moves to take up
the resolutions appended to the reports of the
committee on foreign affairs. Objections
being made, Mr.. Cass asked for the yeas and
nays. Yeas &c, nays 8. The resolutions
were then taken up and passed without de-
bate. He recommended that in our treaties
with other nations hereafter, we should Sc
cure to our citizens in foreign lands the right
to worship and bury their dead according to
their own dictates.
On motion of Mr.. Hunter, the civil and di-
ploma,ic bill was then taken up.
Mr.. Clayton objected to the bill because
of its incorporation of modification of the
tariff.
Mr.. Hunter said he disliked such incorpo-
rations, and would not advocate such a meas
ure to originate here, yet it had come from
the House. The tariff provisions were more
acceptable to majority of the Senate than
those Of any previous bill.
Mr.. Clayton-We must recollect here is a
proposition to change the whole system of
the tariff, brought in at the last three days Of
the session, which needs months Of consider

Mr. Brodhead opposed the tariff amend.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN BELoIr, WIS.

From private letter at Beloit, we learn
the following particulars OF dreadful tradge-
dy which occurred in that place on the morn
ing of the 23d inst.
The wife of citizen Of that town was ava
kened from her sleep Oh the morning of the
23d, by n noise which she heard in an adioin-
ing apartment. In a moment more, she saw
a CLEAN from u dark lantern, held by a man
in that room, and screaming with alright,
awoke her husband, who was sleeping nj her
side. As he sprang from the bed the intra-
der fred at him with pistol The ball just
missing his head and burying itself in the
pillow. Snatchng adouble barrclied gun from
the wall, he discharged both barrels at the
intrudcr.-Thc contents of one barrel entered
the mans head the other his body, killing
him instantly. Leaving the body where it
fell, the gentleman aud his wife proceeded 20

and induced them to return with them TO his

TWO CHILDREN STARVED.

SHOCKING CRUELTY A most shocking in
stance Of human, or rather inhuman deprav-
ity has just transpired in Covington. 1t
seems that the wife of an Irishman recently
died, having three children, infant boy and
two girls three and five years of age. The
husband, soon after her death, married again.
introducing into his family the wretch who,
with fiendlikc coolncss, set herself immedi-
ately at work to destroy the lives or the little
ones to whom she should have been u mother
The youngest of the three died but week
or two after her entrance into the family but
with an atrocity scarcely conceivable, one
would not suffice she must destroy the 9TH
crs. This she undertook to do by withhold
ing their food with an obvious intention of
starving them TO death. Fortunately the
means OF the little ones were overheard from
without, and vague rumors getting ahoat that
al was not right within, and reaching the
ears of the Council, it was resolved TO send
committee to investigate the matter. They
went last evening, and not an hour too early
Entering the house, they found the step
mother at home, but, on inquiry for the chill
drcn, she told them that they were asleep,
and could not be disturbed.
This did not satisfy the committee, and, on
reaching the house, they found II door to one
of the rooms locked. Hearing faint cries
within, they instantly broke down the door
and entered. God! what a sight met their
eyes! These two children, infants, their flesh
as white as death, and drawn tightly over the
bones-each feature defed with the yividness
of corpse, while their eyes were almost
bursting from their sockets.
With the utmost alacrity and tenderness,
food was found and administered, which was
no sooner done than they were wrapped in
some blankets and removed to the hospitable
family OF the iaer. As the gentlemen COM
posing the committee were Withdrawing from
the house with their present charge, the fe-
male fiend informed them that they might as
well leave the children as she had plenty Of
food for them.
On arriving al safe quarters with the un-
fortunate iniants, warrants were immediately
issued for the arrest of the woman and man
who calls her wife, but the officers on visiting
the spot again, found that the birds had
flown; neither the man nor female being
about the premises. 1t is surmised that they
are concealed in the city, and ifso, il is hoped
that they may be fcrretted out, and made to
suffer the righteous penalty Of their most
damning crime. The entire community Of
Covington is justly shocked with the dire in
iquity of the transaction Times.

AN INTER EsTING FACT IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.

The first American who discharged his gun
on the day of the battle of Lexington, was
Ebenezer Lock, who died at Deering, y. H.,
about fifty years ago. He resided at Lexing-
ton in l775. The British regulars. at the or
der of Major Pitcairn, having fred at a few
"rebels" on the green in front Of the Meeting
House, killed some and wounded Others, it
was signal for war The citizens" writes
one, "might be seen coming from all direc-
tons, in the roads, over fields and through
the woods-each with his rife in his hand, his
powder-horn hung TO his side, and his pocket
provided with bullets. Among the number
was Ebenezer Lock The British had posted
a reserve of infantry a mile in the direction
of Boston, This was in the neighborhood oi
Mr.. L., who, instead of Fastening to join the
party at the green, placed himself in an open
cellar at convenient distance for doing exc

firing at them. There was no other Ameri
can in sight. lie worked valiantly for some
minutes, bringing down one of the enemy al
every shot Up to this time, not a shot had
been fired elsewhere by the rebels. The
British, greatly disturbed at losing so many
men by the random firing OF anunseen enemy
were not long in discovering the man in the
cellar, and discharged yolley of balls which
lodged on the walls opposite. Mr.. Lock
Misunderstanding unhurt-c continued to load
and Ere with the precision of finished
marksman. He was driven to such clost
quarters, by the British on the right and left
that he was compelled TO retreat He had
just one bullet left, and there was now bal
one way to escape, and that was through an
orchard, and not one moment was to be lost
he leveled his gun at man near by, drop
ped his gun, and the man was shot through
the heart. The bullets whistled around him
Lock reached the brink of u hill, and throw

TO Cure THE CRoUP-A writer in the
Country Gentleman gives the following pre-
scription for the Group :-Divest the child of
all clothing about the neck and chest then
bathe the throat and upper part of the chest
freely with cold water. Let this be done
pouring, sponging, or very frequent applica-
tion of wet cloths. While this is being done,
prepare warm water and immerse the feet in
it. This gives relief in short time, the child
shoud be put quietly to rest, with a jug of
warm water to the feet. when Precipitation and
sleep soon follow. Any one can follow these
directions Immediately and 1t is a complaint
which is soon fatal, unless checked in the
early stages, and many precious lives are lost
because physician is not at hand until it is
too late to save from suffocation.
