ENGLAND GETTING UNEASY.

The Liverpool Times of the 10th, referring
to the report tha. Louis Napoleon had said, it
the investigation in the English Parliament is
continued, the French army will not act in
concert with the English army, says:
"But although we have expressed our dis
belief that the French Emperor can have held
the language of menace or intimidation to
the British Government which the morning
paper referred to imputes to him, what will
be the feelings of our countrymen when it is
discovered that he has actually done so-and
that he may be found, moreover, the strongest
opponent Of peace arising out of the forth.
coming Conference at Vienna! Since the
commencement of the hOs:ilites with Russia,
in which we are now engaged, Louis Napol-
con has become unquestionably popular in
England The tone of the English press to-
wards him has undergone a marked change

him the incarnation of all that is vile and dis
honorable, now lavish on him the most full

more than justice now.
We ought not to overlook his antecedents
or the means by which he reached the throne;
and, MS we have no clue to the future except
through the medium of the past, il is just
possible that we are reaching that turning
point in the French alliance which will reveal
the character of the Emperor to its true col
ors. We can state, contidentialy, that seri.
Gus fears are entertained in very high quar-
tiers, that the distractions TO peace will pro-
coed less from Russia than from France-that
peace AT the present moment, even on the
most honorable terms, and with undoubted
securities for the future, is lot what Louis
Napoleon really deSlres--that he pants be-
yond all things for the achievement of those
brilliant victories which will consolidate his
dynasty, and rival the military fame of his
unclc-and that he expects England to aid
him in these wild Quixotc schemes. If those
suspicious are reaized-and We know that
they are entertained by persons who have ac
cess TO the very best sources Of information,
we shall find the French alliance very trou-
bIesome affair, which will either drag us fur

very i'll at ease with power whose co-opera-
ton in this Russian war was hailed with en-
thusiasm by The people Of this empire"

CINCINNATI ELEcTIoNs.-A fraud, says II
telegraphic despatch from Cincinnati, has
been detected in the 18th Ward, which gave
Farran Dem, 500 majority, it is proposed to
throw out the entire vote. If this is done,
Taylor, the American candidate, will have
about 100 majority, but if this Ward is con-
tested Farran will have 400 to 500 majority
The 18th Ward, in which the ballot-bOx was
destroyed, is supposed to have given Farran
500 TO TOO majority. Had the entire vote of
the city been counted, the whole Democratic
ticket would have been elected by 500 to Il
1000 majority. There was no more rioting
last night. 1t is supposed that 10 or II per-
sons were killed ormortally wounded. Pistols
were discharged indscrminateIy, and the
only wonder is that the destruction of life
was not greater. 1t was altogether as dis
graceful an election as was ever before ex.
perienced in this city.

AWFUL TRAGEDY.
IfN
[FrOm The Wytheyille Telegraph, Extra

From the Nytheyile Telegraph, Extra1
On Saturday evening last about 9 oelocL
our village was the scene of the most terribI,
ana heartrending tragedy thai has ever f.leO
to our lot to record. Mr.. William II. SpiU,r
one of our oldest and most respected cit zcr,s
was brutaly murdered by }. Austin Graham
of this county. The circumstances, as W.
learn, were these. Mr.. SpilIer in compapv
with five or six friends, was sitting in tho
bar room of Boyd's Hotel, engaged in CONVEX.
sation ard not dreaming of on attack from
any quarter, when Graham, who Was sittnr
near them, suddenly rose, drew revolver,
and commenced firing at Spiller. AT the first
fire the concussiOn extingushed the lamp, and
the utmost confusion prevailed, but Graham
continued to fire until his revolver was ex.
hausted. BY this time the room was cleared.
and Mr. Spiller had reached the pavement in
front of the Hotel and fallen, whether from
accident or wound is not known. Graham
pursued him and, while he was PROSTATE IN.
on the pavement, placed the muzzle of his
second pistol at his head and fired seyeal
times, killing him instantly, and then made
his escape. The firing in the bar-room re.
suited in woundng three other gentlemen,
Mr. J. Oscar Cox, seriously but il is thought
not dangerously, and Mr.. Conaly f. Trigg,
of Abingdon, and Mr. Terry Of this place
slightly.
AS soon as the CONSERVATION and confu.
sion occasioned by the horrid deed had some
what subsidized, parties of armed men started
in pursuit of the rufiian, and at this time sew
eraI hundred men are prosecuting the search
for him, but we are sorry to have to say that
all efforts to capture him have so far been
iruitess. 1t was reported this morning that
he had been seen about 8 miles from town
and party of25 or 30, started immediate-
ly for the neghborhood where he had been
seen, and we hope he may be taken to-
day.
For fear that he should escape beyond the
limits of the county, We give description Of
his person.
lie is man of abont 10 years of age, large
frame, about feet or inches high, with
black hair, slightly sprnkIed with gray, short
and rather sandy colored mustaehes, good
Sci Of teeth, with 4 laughing, but mol n plea
SAINT countenance, when in conversation, and
a scar upon either side of the neck little be-
ow the angle of the jaw. Graham usually
dresses gen!eely and when he fled, had

A reward of $1,000 is offered for his apprc-

.F- The question has lately been submit
ted to the Governor of Ohio rs TO whether
he will withhold the public arms from inde-
pendent volunteer companies composed in
part or entirely of adopted citizens, and he
has decided that there is no law which au.
thorizes him to inquire into the character OF
these companies. Massachusetts is, thus
far, the only State which has determined up
on the disbanding Of its foreign military
companies, though in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and New York, the question has been
preached.

~ The city Of st. Louis has adopted n
Sunday Ordinance, as appears from an article
in the Morning Herald, published there,
which, after giving vivid description of the
appearance of the Sabbath before, says:
An edict had gone forth, requiring the ven
ders of liquor and lager beer 10 close their
doors on Sunday, and so heavy were the
penalties Of disobedience, that they were
forced to comply. The consequence was,
that for once st. Louis saw sober Sunday.
Topers who had not seen a sober Sabbath
for years, retired to rest in disconnected ebri-
ETY., and it is to be hoped that the effect of
that days nationality will exert favorable
influence in diminishing their future pota-
tons. Gloomy ms was the day, it was, NOR
ally, glorious Sabbath"

~ The Washington Star says in regard

to the new land warrants:
1--WE are told that numbers of persons are
under the impression that the Land and Pen
sion offices are prepared to issue land war
rants at once to those who are entitled to
them under the new bounty land bill. This
is a mistake and the sooner this erroneous
notion is corrected the better it will be. We
understand that the Commissioner OF Pensions
will not be prepared to issue these warrants
for at least three months to come. The plates
are yet to be engraved; the blank warrants
printed; the clerical force increased, and other
necessary preparations to be made. The act
giving land to those who served in the MeXi-
can war, passed September lS, 1850, the first
land warrant under this act was not issued
until January IL, 1851, more than three
months after the law was passed. We pre-
sumo it will take at least rs long to get the
new warrants ready"

OPENING THE BALL On Monday las
several candidates made their appearance in
the Temple of Justice, during the recess Of
the Court, and declared their willingness to
serve their fellow-citizens, and suffer for
them If necessary.
Our old friend and former Congressman
Col. Josiah NJ. Anderson, of Marion county
first appeared upon the stand. The Colonel
did not make II spoech--he merely announ-
ced himself rs candidate for Congress, and
stated that as his competitor, Lieut.. Lilard,
was not present, he would decline to enter
into an active canvass until his return.
The next who appeared upon the stand
was Mr.. John f. Power, of this county, can
didate for Joint Representative. Mr.. Power
enumerated his views and positions at much
length and with 4 good deal of deliberation.
lie is democrat, and declares his approba-
ton of the American, or Know Nothing
movement, MS il is called. He also announced
his opposition to the passage Of n Prohibtory
Liquor Law 1t has been charged time and
again, that this American movement is moth
ing more nor less than Whiggery in disguise
--"a plot of the old Federal party" to again
obtain power and place. Mr. Power always
has been, and still is, an incorporating
Democrat voting and acting with that party
ever since he was old enough to vote. He
is the first candidate in this section who has
taken The field in favor Of the new ISSUE
Our Democratic friends can take the fact into
their consideration, and ponder whether they
are not guilty Of n great violation of truth
and justice in denouncing the Know Nothing
movement MS. Wing measure.
When Mr.. Power had concluded, Maj. l..
r. Hurst, candidate for Representative, made
his bow, and a brief speech. He enun-
ciated his views upon the issue which ap-
pearapces at present indicate will enter most
largely into the canvass in this county--the
liquor question. lie avowed himselfa Tenn
perance man n friend of temperance, order
and morality-a foe to drunkenness aud dis
sipation-at the same tune, he declared his
unalterabic opposition to the enactment of Il
Prohibitory Liquor Law.
After no had concluded, Jas. c. Carlock,
Esq, announced himself, and proceeded to
define his position upon The issue. Mr.. Car
lock, as well as his competitor, is Temper
ance man, both in "theory and practice."-
lie further declared, as wo understood him.
his willingness to go for or support Prohib'
itory Law, subject TO approval or rejection
by the people. This is the cardinal point Of
difference between the two candidates for
Representative, as developed on Monday
and from all the indications it would not sur
prise us IL the contest should prove moro
warm and exciting than any one that has oc.
cured in this county for several years. We
presume there will be no other candidates
for Representative before the people of Nc.
