Horrible pnrricidc.

A FOUL MURDER was committed at North
Sterling, n V, about one mile west of Os-
wego, last week on Wednesday night. A man
and his wife named Fitzgcralds, were found
dead in bed, horribly cut to pieces, and their
young son in the same room, badly mutilatcd
but alive, who afterwards died.

supposed murderer and subsequently he CON
fcssed before the Justice that he committed
the bloody deed. lie owned that he tried to
poison his parents Il week before witt! strych-
nine, but not succeeding he killed them and
his younger brother with an axe. lie as
signed as a reason, that his parents misused
him for not attending his brothers funeral,
and by forbiddng the man by whom he was
employed, paying him his wages. lie adj

transaction, the family consisted of Mark
and Mary Fitzgeralds, and their three sons,
Patrick, John and James, aged 90, Is and
IA years, respectively. John, the murderer,
1T would seem, is hayward youth, and had
but recently been in the Auburn Jail for

PLAIN TALK.

The National Intelligencer gives an anu
sing account of small party of Kaw Indians
who have lately arrived in Washington from
the West, and visited the Office of Indian
Affairs. They statedto Acting Commissioner
Mix that the object of their visit was to make
Wadengoh, who appeared to be their leader,
great chief, and they wanted the Great Fa-
her, to give him "big money, heap" to carry
home. After informing them that the Kaws
must select their own chiefs. and that the go
vernment would pay the expenses of their
trip this time, though they must not come
again unless sent for, the Commissioner
asked them if they came on no other bust
ness besides that of making chief. The
following were their replies:
"WADENGoH. l want an epaulet and coat q
big coat and epaulets The Kaws have too MANY
head chiefs, and want TO be made the princ ipsI

GEN. PELLISSIER-THE FRENCH
GENERALS. I

The London correspondent of the n. Y.
Times states that Gen. Pellissier has lost q
considerable part of the reputation with
which he started, and is regarded as an am
bitious and vain man, recklessly lavish of
blood in order to make his name sound terri
BILE. Sir j. Burgoyne, before the arrival of
the late disastrous news in London, remark
cd: "He may succeed in capturing Sebasto-
pol by what seems to be sort of coup d.
stat commandership in most of those De-
cembrish Generals; but if he fails, he will
have lost the army" 1t is added that the
sxiled French generals entertain similar
views. An article in L Homme, by Gen.
Lefo, whose opinions on the war and its
leaders are said to be pretty much the same
US Changarnier's, thus concludes:
"There has been too much blood split for mere
works of contrs appr0che Tor works that are extr.
nal aud entirely independent OF the real fort ca
lions Of seoastopoi, for works constructed I'VE
months after the commencement of the siege, and

sivs operations against the besieeers. General
Peissier starts 10 grand STYLE (ai this 10 argued
on the ground OF the immenso Losses which the
cupture of the Mamelon aud the Quarries has cost
the allies and seems to aim al reducing the war
to the standard of neither more nor less than the
greatest and swiitest possible consumption of blu
man iie This system can certainly dispense with

Whilst the allies have displayed their an
cient courage in the siege, the want of q
competent leader has been evident from the
beginning Of the war. Louis Napoleon, in
the execution of his famous coup d etat, de-
prived France of some of the best generals
of her army. Csvaignac, Chsngarnier, La
monicierc, and other illustrious and war
worn chiefs, whom he has driven into ban

SEBASTOPOL.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, referring to the statement that
Gen. Peliissier did not know that battery
would sweep the ravine when the Frencn
suffered such loss, and that mine was to DC
sprung under bis feet, says that he was not
so well acquainted with the defences Of Be-
bastopol as some persons in Washington
probably the Russian embassy. If the allies
had obtained possession of the Redan and
the Malakoff, they would, says the CORES
pondent, at the same moment have been ex.
tinguished. According to this writer, who
may derive his information from good au.
thority, the whole of Sebastopol is under
mined. He says.
ut is known here that all these deiences have
been undermined, and that the Russians and their
forces would have persisted together, If the assault
lay Sebastopol The besiegers and the besteged
will alike share the penalty of an assault.
Russia fights not like other nations, for she
never hesistes to sacrihce her own people and her
own property for tho annoy ance OF an enemy, as
the history Of Napolaon's Russian campaign and
the burning of Moscow attest.
~ am reminded by these late reverses Of the
allies of tho prophetic warning contained In the
address Of General st. Arnaud to the French army
upon the eve oil the embsrkment for the Crimea.-
He warned them that they were to meet an enemy
that had been diligently preparing for war, while
France had for forty years been engaged In the
cultivation of the arts of peace SO II has proved

Mr.. Dodge and all the personnel of the Legation,

ineir accoutrements and arms were borrowed
equally from the wardrobe of,he primitive SAVAGE
and the modern defensive system of the fronrisr
