EX-SENATOR WEScoTT ON olive OAK GEORGE -
Ex-senator Wesoott, of Florida, writes to the

Nicaragua ex-Minister, denying that he ever
had any connection with the Herald, or any
other newspaper : declaring himself for the
Southern State Rights party, and regulating
the Know Notbings He denies, also, that he
has attached himself to the sc Presidential for

however, says Of Mr.. Law:
That some personal knowledge of most of the presden

Mr. EDITOR ;-IoI, sometime age, desired
us to furnish You with news letter occasion
ally, and although we have been on the qui
Uiue ever since, we have found nothing of lm- !
portance TO write.
Mr.. David Burton, of MillsbOro', who was
shot near that place on the Both of May last,
by negro named Tom Oliver, after lon.
period Of suffering, died of his wound on the
23d ult. If this was the only result of the
trngedy, it would he horrible enough, but it
also becomes our painful duty to state that the
wife Of Mr.. Burton, who was just recovering
from severe illness, on hearing that her hus-
band was severely if not fatally wounded, was
immediately taken worse, and died few DAYS
before her husband. An infant child of Mr..
and Mrs. b., but few weeks old, being left an
orphan, died also shortly after.
Now we do not desire to indulge an ungene-
rOus wish against any human being, but we do
hope that the full vengeance Of the law will be
visited upon this negrO-guilty, no doubt, of
three-fold murder, and that the villainous wretch
will suffer death upon the scafold, which pun
lshment is indeed inadequate to his deserts
The policy, dictated perhaps by mistaken hu-
manity, which has been Of late years endeavor-
ing, by one means or another, to prevent the
law prescribing the penalty of death for the
crime of murder from b0ing carried into execu-
ton, has, without doubt, had the tendency to
cause the fearful increase in the number of
murders which now so frequently occur. This
policy has been fairly tried, and we see the
results; it should, therefore, be Immediately
abandoned for the more humane policy, which
directs that d" Whose sheddeth mans blood, by
man shall his blood be she'd" A few execu-
tions, we doubt not, would prevent the so fire.

rages
The farmers are engaged in harvesting their
> wheat, which, they say. is considerably above

smut and other disease. The corn crop looks
: delightful. and the farmers agree in saying that
they never had so fine a prospect of good
: crop, at this season of the year, before.
= There was no regular celebration of the

distant booming of gun in the direction of the
II head of Nanticoke River, we presume that the
anniversary was not altogether neglected ant
{ forgotten in Sussex. Towards evening, how
: :. ever, our ears were greeted with the loud rum
y bling of heavens artillery, followed by re
freshing shower, of which the growing crop

sssls@@The News from Europe.

BY the arrival of the Hermann and America
We have news from Europe to June %, week
later than our previous advices. The great
point in this Intelligence is that the Allies shave
attempted to storm the Redan and Malakoff
overs sif SexastoPol and have been repulscd
with great slaughter. The event took place
on the 18th ult, but so disastrous was the result
that on the 22d no details had been allowed to
trapspire at Paris or London-the Black Sea
telegraph being, as our readers will remember,
aimier Government control According to one
account the British loss alone was 1000, in
GLIDING Gen. Sir Colin Campbell and above
seventy other officers. This however is thought
toabe, and probably is, exaggerated. An assault
against a single work like the Reduu tower,
which alone was exposed to the British attack,
the Malakof being further to the right before
the French, would naturally be decided one
way or the other, and either carried or aban-
doned before such extreme carnage could occur.
The bombardment of the Russian lines on
the east of Sevastopol began on the 9th ult.; on
the 7th the MameIon and other advanced works
were taken, with loss to the Allies of some
$500 men. according to their account, but as
Prince, Gorchakof says of 1000. This suc'
cess was Of course followed up by continu~ us
cannOnade against the Russian forts command
ing the newly won positions. 1t would seem
that after twelve days incessant firing of this
krnd at a much less distance than on either o
the general bombardments, the two principa
forts ought to have been destroyed. But at any
rate they were either so much diapidated tina
the assault was thought TO offer the needeC
chance of success, or else the army had go
into such state that decisive action of som,
sort was necessary. However this may be, tn
check the Allies have received is evidently
serious one, or the facts respecting it would no
so long be hidden from the public.
1t should not be forgotten that this was n
general assault upon the entire town, but Onl
On these two forts on the Karabelnaya side.
special cannonade had been maintained o
these works and special assault was its prope
sequence. Had they been carried, the resu
would have been great gain to the Allies, b
means Of which they could have pushed tn
siege on that side TO a conclusion with muc
greater rapdity.

THE Am LINE RAILRoAD.-Meetings in fa-
vor of the construction of this road fro m New
York through New Jersey, down the Peninsula
to Norfolk, Va, have recently been held in
Georgetown, Sussex Co., and at Berlin and
Snow Hill, Wocester county, Md. The Snow
Hill Shield speaks IN warm terms of the enter
prise, and says that themeetings were large,
and the interest taken by the persons present
in the proceedings, was highly gratifying III
the friends of the cause. 1t urges the citizens
to subcrlbe literally so as to control the road at
least long enough to direct its course through
that county aud says that it is now rapidly pro.
crossing in New Jersey, and will be shortly
commenced at Lewes in this State.

Seventeen persons were arrested in Whining
ton, on the 4th, for drunkenness, all OF whom
were fined $40 and costs, as follows: Geo

David Dingee, Edward Farrall, David BrOm-
ell, Joseph CollOm, John Gibson, Edward Nc
Keeyer, Janbatis Ausleme, Simeon Dixon, Da-
vld Greenly, James Whitehead and John Sig
mond. Several of them paid their fines, but
the greater part failed in this respect, and we
believe High Cunstable Hawkins escorted some
thirteen or fourteen of them to New Castle,
where they have the privilege OF staying ten
days.
Richard Lyman was brought before the May
or on Thursday charged with being intoxlca-
ted. He was fined $40 and costs. and in de-
fault of payment was committed for ten days.
Henry MCGOWAN, James Logan, John Coss-
grove, James f. Savile and Michael Dougher-
ty, were before the Mayor on Friday, charged
with being intoxicated, They were each fined
$40 aud costs, and all except the last named,
in default of payment, were connected tor ten
days. John Cussgrove, known as Baltimore
John, was also arrested on the charge of carry
ing concealed weapons. He was held to bail.
On Saturday George Rogers was arrested tor

To the Editor Of the Smyrad Times: .a.
DEAR SIR:-Truth is often more strange
than fiction. Who could suppose that thou
sands--yea, tens of thousands of the sons of
America, many educated in our colleges and
taught professions, men of bright and shining
talents, would leave their native homes and all
that's near and dear to them by ties Of kindred,
to roam abroad, beyond the circle of cons:itu-
ted and civilized society, amongst the savage
Indians and make companions of them, and be
identified with them, to be at the lead of most
of those acts of robbery and murderous assaults
we hear of, against the many travellers to the
far Rocky Mountains and the New Mexico's.-
1t is the desire to live life uncontrolled, un-
checked, by law or religious influence, The
desire rests in the breasts Of many men amongs
