Oregon and Washington will soon demand that
this mcumbrance be started on the opposite

determined to adopt the opposite of the old
policy, and continue the Indians on their re-

of enlarging them. This will force them 10

Horrible Murder at Cumberland.

The body of young man named Graft was
found October Is, in the mountains short
distance from Cumberland, (Pa.) city having
been shot and his body mutilated A stranger
who had been living in the vicinity, a German
from Pittsburg, was arrested on suspicion of
being the murderer. In his possession were
found articles belonging to the deceased and
also the clothing, watch, and pocket book of
DR.. J. +. G. Hadel, who was also missing, and
IN whose office young Graft was a student. A
search was made this morning for the body Of
DR.. Hadel, and it was found in the mountains
horribly mutilated. DR.. Hadel was formerly
Health Commissioner Of Baltimore. The MUIR
der has created the most intense excitement.
The head of DR.. Hadel was found buried at
some distance from the body After the MUIR
der of the Doctor, the German enticed Graft,
the student, from the Office, and murdered him
also, with the intent, it is supposed, of robbing
the office, which he did do on Saturday night.
The murderer is German pedler who recently
broke Jail at West Alexander.

FOREIGN CRIMINALS SENT BACK.

''NEw YORK, October l5.-Mayor Wood has
sent back four German criminals brought to
this port by the ship Dutchland from Mann
burg"
We presume that no one will object to the
action Of Mayor Wood in this matter. No
Democrat-no opponent of the Know-nothing
party, however violent, viii object to sending
back to the places from which they came, any
foreign criminal who may be sent to our
shores.
Our adversaries have endeavored to produce
the impression on the popular mind that the
Democratic party, and all others opposed to the
Know. nothings, are in favor Of receiving and
welcoming all foreign criminals who shall be
sent to our country. The difference between
them and US is that they regard all foreigners
as criminals. They would have excluded
Lafayette, De Kalb, and the long list Of pa
triots who aided in our revolutionary struggle,
whilst we are willing to welcome to citizenship
all entitled to it by their character and merits.
We would put domestic criminals in the peni-
tentiary--foreigu criminals we would exclude
from American citizenship.

dose. Auburn then dug grave in his cellar,
and, with the assistance of the other negro,
buried his murdered subject, first cutting his
throat, ripping open his abdomen, and horribly
mutilating the body in other places; this was
done, it is supposed, to prevent the negro from
recovering from the effects of the strychnine
These bloody scenes occurring before the

HERoIsM OF A DOG IN THE CRIMEA.-The
following account Of the exploits of dog in
the Crimea, which we translate from the Ga
zettc Of Trieste, surpasses everything hereto
fore recorded Of the devotion and bravery Of
this noble animal:
A great sensation has been caused in the
camp of the Allies by the heroic deeds of a
dog belonging to Colonel Metmann, of the
I'D regiment of the line. On the 10th of
August, during the battle of the Tchernaya,
the quadruped broke his chain, fought in the
ranks of the army, saved the life of sergeant
and soldier, and took three Russians prisoners.
A ball struck his foot, but the wound only
imbittered the animal the more. He threw
himself upon a Russian officer, flung him to
the ground, and dragged him prisoner by his
coat collar to the French. A physician has
bound up the wound, and the fourfooted hero
is convalescing. He will probably receive
some mark of honor, as another dog in the
English army had been rewarded with a
medal for his devotion to his master"

AN ENGLISH MAID OF HONOR
AGAINST MRS. STOWE.

Mrs Murray, the English Maid of Honor,
who has been for more than year in this
country, is said TO have written book on
American society. The New York Times says
of it:
She intends to oiadicate The Institution of
Starery from tie alleged misrepresentation o.
Uncle Toms Cabin. Unless we have been en-
urely misintormed, Miss Murray has come to
the conclusion, as the result of her personal
observation, that the social institutions of the
Southern States are decidedly in advance Of
those oil any other portion of this country; that
a higher degree of culture and refinement is to
be found there tha2nslsewhere in the Union !;
that slavery is pg rather than a curse
10 the negroes then es, and that the pic
lures of Its crueltes aid atrocities, given by
Mrs. Stowe in her celebrated novel, are either
very gross exaggerations or so exceptional as
not at all to be taken into the account when
forming judgment Of the institution itself
She will make this prominent feature in her
forthcoming book, and designs, we understand,
to enter upon special refutaticn of the views
and representations of Mrs. Stowe"
When Freesoil paper, ike the New York
Times, announces that an authoress of noble
English origin intends writing book in de-
fence of Southern slavery, and announces it
without any expressions of disapprobation, we
may well open our eyes in establishment 1t
is in striking contrast with the course of the
noble ladies" of England, generally--the
Duchess of Sunderland at their head.
For ourselves, however, we care but little
who defends the institutions Of the South. Our
own convictions are firm, even should all the
allies" be against US. Slavery will stand so
long as the Constitution lasts. If so dire a
calamity as the destruction of that instrument
and the dissolution of the Union should take
place, in such a catastrophe even, the South
would be able to take care Of herself, her citi
zens, and her property. Still we would not
be so ungracious as to refuse to acknowledge
the spontaneous kindness Of nobel born Eng
lish lady, who, in spite of inherited prejudice,
thinks fit to speak good word in our behalf.

discovery, made by him on the eleventh day of
November, 1854, relative to the law governing
