HoRRIBLE.-We find the following horri-
BILE incident related in the st. Louis Demo-
eTat, in connection with the death of a wo.
man by the name of ELLEN MURPHY. The
Democrat says:
"She and her husband were occupying
ground apartments in house on the corner OF
Main and Poplar streets. Day before yester-
day Sunday they were both on drunken
spree. From exposure to the bitter cold OF
the day she died in the evening, and was laid
q corpse on her bed. The husband, when he
went to bed, pushed the body out on the floor,
where it lay all night. Yesterday morning it
was discovered that the rats had eaten her face
nearly of, and in the most horrible manner
We understand the husband confesses no re-
morse, but merely says, by way of excuse for
pushing her body from the bed, that he'd be
id if he was going to sleep with dead wo-
man."

Truly CHOSEN PEoPLE.-At the present
time, there is not single Jewish family in the
city who has applied to either of our charita-
bic associations. or to the overseers of the
poor for relief This is feather in the cans
Of the chill lren Of Israel, for it is proof not
only of their industry and independence, but
of their charity to each other for that there
are some needy families of that persuasion is
certain, but their more affluent brethren do not
allow them to go abroad to seek relief - Gin.

The Hand OF God in the Desert.

BAYARD TAYLOR, in his Journey to Cen
trail Africa" thus speaks of the natural
beauties of the great Nubiar Desert:
"I soon fell in with regular routine of travel,
which, during all my latter experience Of the desert,
never became monotonous. rose at dawn every
morning, bathed my eyes with handful Of the pre-
cious water. and drank a cup of coffee. After the
tent had been struck, and the camels laden, walk
ed ahead for two hours, often far in advance that
lost sight and hearing of the caravan. found an
unspeakable fascination in the sublime solitude Of the
desert. often beheld the sun rise, when, within
the wide ring Of the horizon, there was no other v
ing creature to be seen. lie came up like god in
awful glory, and it would have been natural act had
cast myself upon the sand and worshipped him.
The sudden change in the coorng Of the landscape,
on his appearance-the Lighting up of the dull sand
into warm, golden hue, and the tiutings Of purple
and violet the distant porphiry hills-was morn
ing miracle which never beheld without awe. The
richness of this coloring made the desert beautiful
it was too brilliant for desolaon. The scenery, so
far from depressing, inspired and exhilaraed me-
l never felt sensation of physical health and
strength in such perfection. and was ready to shout
from morning till night, from the overflow Of happy
spirits The air is elixir Of life, sweet and as
pure and refreshing that which the first man
breathed, on the morning Of creation. You inhaie
the unadulterated elements of the atmosphere, for
there are no exhaations from moist earth, vegetable
matter, or the smokes and steams which arise from
the abodes of men, to stain its purity The air. even
more than its silence and solitude, is the secret Of
ones attachment to the desert. 1t is beautiful H.
Ius,raton of the compromising care Of that Provi-
dence which leaves of the waste places Of the
earth without some atoning glory. Where all the
pleasant aspects Of nature are wautng-where there
is green thing fount for the thirsty lip, scarce.
ly the shadow of rock to shield the wanderer in the
blazing nook, God has breathed upon the wilder
ness his sweetest and tenderest breath, giving clear
to the eye, strength to the frame, and the most
joyous exhilaration to the spirits"

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1855.


Although the result Of the Election on Tues
day has been adverse to the Republican Candi-
dates. and although the hopes and wishes OF the
Liberty loving men of the State have been disap'
poipted vet looking at all the facts in the case
calmly and considerably, there can be no occa-
sion for dependency.
1.-THE Republican nominees have been defeated
nv a combination of hunke1s, bigots, and fanat-
les that party can boast at the present time OF
larger number of supporters, and more perfect
organisation than in any previous period OF
cur history. The great fact can not be
ignored, that thirty-seven thousand citizens OF
Massachusetts, have declared by their votes that
they consider the question of Freedom paramount
to all other political questions, and with this
body as the nucleus of an organization for anoth-
er year, who shall say that success Will not crown
the efforts OF those who are striving to roll back
the tide of aggression, and to restore the admin
istration OF the government TO the principles oil
4 IS founders We are beaten, but not dishearten
ed. Our cause is iust-our union perfect" and
we NAV safely predict that, in 1856, when the
great struggle comes, in State and nation to roll
back the tide of Slavery aggression, that Massa-
chusetts will be found, as she has ever been be-
fore, in the very van of the hosts of Freedom.

RESTORATION OF THE DEATH PENALTY IN
WISCONSIN,. Wishing to ascertain the feeling
OF the State press i'll regard to the question Of
capital punishment. we have watched CLOSELY
to discover the sentiment which prevails in
the minds of our country contemporaries re-
garding the subject, since the recent brutal
murder OF Mr.. Adams. We find in this re-
view that large majority Of the country ed
hors are IN favor of a restoration of the death
penalty. The greater part of the press ofthis CITY
is also committed in favor OF its re enactment:
and If the press can be in any degree consid.
cred the opponents or the creators of public
sentiment, the fact is sufficiently clear that
the next Legislature should take the matter
IN hand, and submit the question to the peo.

FREsHET.-The heavy rains for "a hours

causing material rise of the Hudson. At

above the docks. Considerable floating tim
Der came down with the current.
There was a considerable Use of the Mo-
hawk River. We learn that a floating mill at
Waterford was partially inundated, and con-
siderable quantities of grain carried away.
From Albany, we hear that number of
stores on the river, along the line of the ba-

The freshet had been anticipated, however,
and no material damage resulted from it
