A Bold Falschood,

The following extract from q Know
Nothing speech delivered in Washington
on the 9TH of July, is a distinct version o.
current calumny in the mouths of the
secret party

the cabinet of the President was known
to the public here, declared, in Madrid,
that the. present Postmaster General, a Cath.
Oltc, aOouL9 be a member Of tile Cabinet OF
General Pierce ! There is other and
abundant proof to confirm the opinion
that this appointment was secured to the
Roman. hierarchy before tile Catholic vote
7Oa$ cast for the present incumbent !"
In reply to which, the Baltimore Re-
publican says:
&c We unhesitatingly pronounce this
bold assertion to be barefaced falsehood,
and defy its author to bring forward the
least particle of proof to sustain him in
his charge.'
The Republican is right in denouncing
this allegation { which we believe is fay,
Orlte hnow-Nothing slander) as a stupid
senseless falsehood. Every man in the
country not member of Know Nothing
lodge, and thus not fool or knave, knows
that in the nature of things there never
was, and never could be, a particle oil
foundation in truth for SO absurd a state.

HE LATE TRAGEDY IN MISSISSIPPI.
The murder of Professor Clark s. Brown,
at Pontotoc, Miss, Of which we lately
made mention, bears remarkable like
ness to the case of Matt Ward and Pro-
fessor Butler. AS the circumstances are
narrated by " letter from the place. it ap-
pears that Brown was a native of New
Hampshire, graduate of Dartmouth
College, and principal of the " Pontotoc
Male Academy" A few days previous
to the murder he punished for some mis-
demeanor, lad named Cary Wray, about
i2 years. of age, John an elder brother
of the lad, who attended the same school,
was subsequently, expelled for having al
the time, it is alledg cd, twice threatened
Professor Brown if he whipped his broth>
er again. Three days after the occurrence,
another brother, aged 10 years, who was
studying medicine in an office in the city,
armed himself with a revolver and bowie
knife, went to the academy, and wanted
Brown called out, but. as he was too
much excited ut the time, the assistant
refused the request. Wray left, saying
that he would see him on his way home
and at the close Of the session he met his
victim in the public park. He accosted
him rudely, told him that he had imposed
upon his brother, and, when he under>
took to reason the matter, called him by
an insulting epithet, and aimed a blow
with his fist at Browns face. The latter,
seeing Wray's weapons as the blow was
aimed, raising little riding whip, and
prepared to defend himself. Immediately
thereupon, Wray drew his knife and in
ficted seven fatal wounds. which caused
Brow's instant death. The murderer was
committed to prison, but his friends made
vigorous efforts to forestall Justice by
promptly securing all the legal counsel
the place affords. Prof Brown leaves Il
young wife, to whom he had only been
married u few months.

The Stray Sheen.

The democrats Of GooChland county,
Virginia, held a reception meeting on the
fourth of July, for the purpose Of restor.
who have wandered from the democratic
fold and joined the midnight CLAN" The
steadfast democracy addressed the wan.
derers in this kind but emphatic language
" This proud Old Dominion has spoken
as with voice of thunder, that she will
be ruled by no such party. We now
cordially invite all those who have left
us, and we will take you back on six
months trial, and then, should you prove
worthy of occupying place in the party
to which you once belonged, we will most
heartily extend to you brothers band,
upon your promising you will do so nc
more. One word to those who left us
for the sake of Office and knew better
We most atectionately invite you. We
will take you back, also but the Ceremo.
ny will be much more tedious than the
rest-for you have committed great sin.
We look forward to the fourth with plea
sure. Truly it will be an imposing day
to see the old democratic sires leaning
upon the arms of the young democracy
of Goochland and Louisa, whose faces are
flushed with the morning of life. Oh,
what grand spectacle this will be, to
hear these old sires giving in their ex-
Perience, and promising to sin no more
We would invite the ladies but for one
thing we shall have to take back some
of the beaux, and we fear, if you are
present, it might have tendency to pre-
vent full confession on their part. So
we hope you will think nothing of it,"
Cooper's Clarksburg register. [volume] (Clarksburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1851-1861, 1855-07-25

The ceremony now proceeded; and at
the conclusion all was good humored con-
graduation. "W What a romantic mar.
rage !, exclaimed the little Potters.
F." Allow me to congratulate you, Mrs,
Killwinning, +" said Flexible Flint. /" Pom
honor, Killwinning, it's too bad TO take
her by storm in this way, and leave US
poor bachelors in the lurch. -
How willingly now would the. Jenken-
ses have exchanged situations with Ellen,
when by the kind forethought of Mr.. Kill
winning, she appeared equipped for the
journey in her elegant and appropriate
apparel |! But this was not ali; new
carriage with four beautiful greys, drew
up to the door. Poor Mrs. Clackett was
in ecstacies. scarcely believing in the re-
ality Of her having a daughter about to
step'into her own carriage, which the i'll
natured Jenkenses-who kept a springs
car-afirmed she did most awkwardIy
and unlike any one accustomed to an
cquipage. T-.aa ~.

The Last of che Pioneers.

"a The Last OF the E10ueerS.
Died, at his residence in Lewis county,
near Jane Lew, WILLIAM POWERS.
Esq, on the 7th Of June. 855. He was
born on Toms creek, near Frederick City,
Maryland. nthe 9th day of November,
1865 He was, therefore, at the time of
his death, upwards of eighty-nine years
of age. He moved from Maryland with
his father TO North western Virginia in
the year 177l. He was therefore one of
the earliest settlers in this country. and
at one time knew personally every indiyi-
dual living in the territory row embraced
by the counties Of Menongalia, Marion,
Preston, Taylor, Harrison, Barbour. Ran
dolph, Upshur, Lewis, Braxton, GiImer,
Richie; Wood, Peasants, Doddridge,
and, probably some others. He lived
here during the whole of the Indian wars
of this country IL; and many of the terrible
incidents Of Chat day, boy as he was, he
recorded and in after life contributed
largely from his notes and recollections,
which was remarkably good, TO the his
tory of this country, as detailed in the
work entitled &c BORDER WARFARE" by
Alexander S. Withers, Esq. His educa-
ton was Of course very limited, but he
had learned to write, and young as he
was, he foresaw the Importance Of noting
down the bloody massacres as they occur
red for series Of years, during the pros
rracted warfare in Western Virginia. He
has told the writer that he was present
when Clarksburg was named. The name
was proposed by Mr.. Shinn, in honor OF
General Clark, and it was adopted by
those who had settled the place. The
town was laid out and settled with view
of mutual defence against the Indians.
Mr.. Powers profcssed strong discrimi-
mating mind, and in an eminent degree all
the kindness, hospitality and disintercs-
tedness which we have been taught to
conccde generally to the hardy, brave pi-
oneers of the country. In regard to vir-
tue, truth and honor, the relations of citi-
zen, friend and neigbbor, he stood pure and
irreprOachable and from having at re-
mote period known every man in the coun-
try, he died full Of years, comparatively
unknown to thousands composing the new
generations that have sprung up in the
country which he helped to reclaim from
the wilderness and the savage.
His remains we're consigned to their fl
nal resting place at Broad run Meeting
house, with military honors. Peace to
the names of the last of the Pioneers!
