Henry WISE.

N
A correspondent of the New York
EUening Post furnishes the following
pen and ink sketch-of the orator of Ae-
mac, now eagerly in the canvass of Viz
ginia as a candidate for Governor:
t" About ten minutes before the begin
ming ofhis speach, Mr.. Wise came upon
the platform, dressed in full suit of
black and a standing collar. He is a
tall Eiry man, apparently about forty
five, with sandy, light-brown hair, which
lies parted from right TO left smoothly
over his head. His face is thin. of a
ruddy brown, tough and wrinkled as a
hide of a rhinoceros. His eyes, which
are set apart, are large and grey, with a
sharp, quick expression that is a very
effective aid to his animated oratory.-
Like most Virginians, the orator of Ac
comac chews quite as much of the Vir-
glnia weed as is good for him, at least,
If one may judge from the stains that
dlshgure the corners of his wide mouth.
In speaking he uses a good deal of ac-
ton, particularly of the left arm, which
he manages very gracefully His voice
is clear, melodious, of fair compass, and
susceptible of a variety of meditation,
and his pronunciation well cultivated
and free from she peculiarities that most
Southern speakers derive from constant
intimacy with their negroes

Brutal murder .in dayton.
We find the following in the Dayto
Empire Of the 9th inst

We find the following in the Dayton
Empire of the 9th inst:
A young unmarried woman BY the
name of Sarah Elizabeth Frame, inethe.
employ of Captain Cartwright, canal
boat ALbia0, of this city, was brutally.
murdered yesterday afternoon, in the
cabin of the boat, by a man named AL
fred Miller. It appeared, from the evil
dence at the Coroncr's inquest, that the
parties had asquarrel on the night pres
vious, at which time Miller threatened
to slap the girl. Yesterday after
noon the quarrel was renewed, and af-
ter an interchange of angry words Mil
Ter knocked the girl down, and kicked
her severely three or four times in the
side and back, A girl named Stradley,
who was a witness Of the murder, assis-
ted her to rise, and placed her upon a
chair. She appeared to SC ffer-very much,
and in a short time she turned toward
Miller, who had remained in the cabin,
and said in a feeble voice, ALT, YOU
have killed me; I'm dyingl"
Miller was evidently frightened, and
hastily retreated from the boat. The
woman Stradley was SO confused thatshe
was incapable of raising au alarm, or the
murderer might have been easily appre-
hended at the time. The officers were
however, soon on the lookout for him,
and it is hardly supposed that he can
make his escape from the city.
1.-The physicians who were present at
the inquest gave it as their opinion thgt
her death resulted from rupture of the
spleen, oceasioned by violence done to
the side and region of the spine. Upon
post maortent examination they found a
large quantity of clothed blood , inter
nally, and Immediately in the region
where the bruises were inflicted.

rendered in accordance with the above
facts"

Miller & Thompson, of Liverpool,
have suspended payment for G4OO,o0o,
chiefly owing to the losses in the Aus
trian trade. Rumors were circulating
on change that the other failures were
Imminent. Horne, Eaugn & Co., had
failed for ff20,000. Garrif & Sharpe,
iron dealers, near Curnrick, Scotland,
failed for a large amount.
FRANcE.-The Moniteur has several
congratulatory articles on the success of
the French a It says: 700, O00, 900
francs have been placed at the disposal
of the government. Prince Napoleon
left Constantinople on the 18th, on ac-
count of i'll health.
Political affairs in the South were in
a position more critical than ever, aad
the Canton authorities had applied of
ieially for assistance from the English
and American Oonsuls, with what re-
suit is not stated.
Trade at the port was completely sus-
pended.
The question as to the payment of ar
rears upon export duties upon tea at
Shanghai had been settled, so far. as
Americans are concerned, By an agree
ment to pay up one-third.

The Famous Jim Brown again in Limbo

1t was supposed that I" Jim Brown"
had at least one foot in the grave, for in
l949 he was pardoned by the President
on account of his (BrQwn's) extreme i'll
health, and the ravagss of the cholera in
the Penitentiary, where he was confined
for counterfeiting the coin of the United
State. Since then, Brown has now aud
her made his appearance in our streets,
evidently broken down in spitit aud
health, and it was hoped the last end of
his life would make some atonement for
a career In crime which has been unpar-
alleled in tho annals Of skilful rascality.

A RUSSIANS OPINION OF THE Wan
A Constontinople letter gives, as from a
Russian prisoner, the following expla-
nation of the origin of the present war :
"The Turks massacred the Russian
Bishop and several Russian priests at
Jerusalem. God, in his wrath, sent a
squadron of angels to carry away the
tomb of Christ, which remains at this
moment suspended in the heavens, and
he commissioned the Gear to aTenge the
Pagan sacrilege. When the Emperor
Nicholas shall enter Jerusalem a con
queror, as by the aid of Heaven he GER
tainly will do, Christ's tomb will de re-
stored to its place. The Phlanx of an
gels will line the road along which the
conquering Russian army will pass, and
will preseat arms to them. Then the
Gar will be master of the whole world,
which will its errors, aud be-
come converted to the orthodox faith"
This story is implicitly believed BY
the Russianers.

KANSAS.


Mr.. s. B. WHITE, of Butler county,
Communicates to the Hamilton IeEe-
graph some interesting particulars of
this Territory. He assigns two hundred
square miles adjacent to MISSOURI as
the desirable region-as@ unsurpassed
fprriehness. The soil" he adds, " is
black loam-the average thickness of
which is about ire feet. The soil of the
table lands is as black and rich as the
bottoms along the rivers. , here is very
little low, wet lands and the State will
never have to expend one dime to drain
her wet lands, as Indiana is now doing.
Indeed, you might travel for days ON
either the Military road, the California
road, or the Santa Fe road, the only
three principal roads running through
the Territory without seeing enough
marshy land to make a farm objection
able"
The most of the lands are these ia
bles, the rivers and creeks having but
little bottom land adjoining them. The
soil is well adopted for the cultivation
of hemp, tobacco, wheat, buckwheat,
corn, oats, barley, rye, Irish and sweet
potatoes, beans, turnips, etc. Springs
are numerous and reliable. Coal, lime
stone, gypsum, and even lead and iron
ore have been discovered. Timber is
generally half a mile in width along the
streams, but nine-tenths of the farms
can have no timber. Coal, limestone,
and Usage orange hedges are substitutes
He advises no emigrant to start, un-
less he can reach the territory with 5000

And the greatest Of these is Charity

A poor family, consisting of a husband
wife, and several small children, living
on Mound ST., were surprised the other
day, by a drayman calling at the door
aud informing them that he had been
directed to leave half barrel of -four
two bushels of corn meal and a bushel
of potatoes at that house, at the same
time refusing to give the name of the
gentlemen who had employed him to de-
liver the articles.
The husband had been put of work
for some time past, and the family knew
not in what direction to look for assis-
tance a few days more would have seen
them suffering from want, had not this
timely supply relieved them. 1t gives
US great pleasure to record such instan-
ces OF transformations charity, and we
trust this example may be followed by
others of our citizens who have the
means of alternating the suffering Of the
poor,-Stote IonrnaI,
