window-the rope was placed round his
neck-he stepped on the platform, he saw
the deriding crowd, his sins crowded upon
him, the platform fell, he struggled-and
awoke in the most frightful state of mind
The guard reasoned with him and tried to
cheer him. He said that the Committee did
not mean to hang him, but only to send him
out of the country. Sullivan, however, was
too much frightened to receive, at first, the
friendly consolation. He received the drink
of water he had asked for, and after time
appeared to be more cheerful. The guard
then left him. About two hours later, when
Sullivan's breakfast was being carried into
his room, the prisoner was found on his bed
dead. He was dressed in his pantaloons
and shirt, and lay extended on his back
He had cut his left arm at the elbow JOINT
on the inside, to the bone. The main arte-
ry was completely severed, and he must
have died in a few minutes afterwards. He
inflicted the wound with the knife which he
used to cut his food with.
The body was cold at this time, so that it
is probable Sullivan committed the rash act
Immediately after the guard had left him at
six o'clock. Remorse and terror, produced
by his dream, had no doubt prom pied the
suicide. Two medical gentlemen were i'm
mediately called in, who declared that Sui
! livan had been dead for some time; and that
he could have suffered no pain He had
fallen, as it were, into faint, and in that
condition expired The countenance of the
deceased showed no marks of pain.
Sullivan has made important disclosures
to the Committee, the result of which will
be known before long. He confessed that
he had been convicted in England for steal
ing, and had been sentenced to transporta-
ton to New South Wales for fourteen years.
When there his bad conduct was such that
he had been placed by the government I'M
der regimen of the severest kind, different
from those other convicts who underwent
the ordinary penal sentence. He escaped,
however, from New South Wales. It was
one of his greatest fears that he should be
sent back there again. He had selemnly
promised the committee to fight no more
prize battles, to drink ard quarrel no more,
and had vowed that henceforth he would
live an honest and peaceful life. He was
DESTROYS to be sent out of the country, and
promised that if he were sent to the Allan
tic States, he would avoid the large towns,
and keep himself retired from public gaze.
A guilty conscience would not allow him to
wait the course of events. In sudden fit
of remorse and horror he ended his vile ca
reer.
Sullivan was a native of England, and
was early in life transported to Sidney for
theft He arrived in New York while quite
young, and was at once recognised as a dis
tinguished English prize-fghter. Upon his
arrival there he opened what was called the
''Saw Dust House," and gave out that he
was -reposin. unnn- hislanrala.-nad- asszald

BREADSTUFFS.

We have conversed with gentleman of
unusual Intelligence, who has just returned
from very extensive tour in the Western
States, who without any pecuniary interest
in Breadstufs, has yet taken much pains to
inform himself in regard to the growing
crops, and stores now in hand. He states
that Wisconsin and Iowa are comparatively
cleaned out of the old crop, having mostly
sold before the recent decline. But in Hi
nois and Indiana, the former particularly,
there are large stocks of grain especially Of
Indian Corn. These are not only accumu-
lated to some extent by dealers, but are also.
and chiefly, in the hands of the original
producers. Many of the holders refused from
40 to 60c. per bushel for corn, whereas now
they can only realize II to Tic. There
will be, we apprehend, but little sympathy
for this class, who were not satisfied with
the enormous rates offered at high tide
Our informant thinks that the stock corn
has been greatly moderated, although much
of it will, under the present circumstances,
doubtless be held over.
In regard to the growing crop of wheat
his report is less favorable. There was
winter injured it to some extent, while the
head in many places, even where the stalk
is luxuriant, is not well filed The drought
in many parts of the Middle and Western
States, and especially in upper Illinois, In
diana and Michigan, has damaged the grow
ing crop. In the Southern part of Illinois
and along the Ohio River, the yield will be
enormous. In this State the wheat looks
unusually well, and is very promising both
in quantity and quality. In Delaware,
PENNSYLVANIA and Maryland there is also a
fair crop, though somewhat injured by the
rust. In many parts of Virginia and North
Carolina there has been unusual damage
from the fly and drought. Farther South,
in Georgia, there is promise of great a.
bundance, and in Tennessee the yield now
being harvested is large and of excellent
quality. Tennessee wheat has given great
satisfaction in this market But little
Southern grain has come to us in much good
order, or shown in it's preparation more hon
est, careful husbandry. A large proportion
of it has been red but the grain is plump,
and the quality very uniform. It has been
quite favorite with shippers. Taking the
States together. the crop may be reckoned
of a good average quality. Indiana corn,
especially Northern and Western, is thus far
less promising, owing to the cold weather,
but it is not too late for it to recover, and
make full amends by rapid summer growth.
The following, from respectable source,
we have received since writing the above:
The weather is very unfavorable for the
wheat, and VIC fear much of the Maryland
and Virginia crop will be injured by rust
Here it it hardly ripe enough to be affected
by rust. but may scab some, nder nc

SUICIDE OF YANKEE SULL1vAN-The San
Francisco Bulletin, Of May 81, furnishes
the following account of this transaction:
This morning the notorious Yankee Sui
Ivan committed suicide, by cutting into his
left arm and bleeding to death. The pub
lie are well aware that Sullivan has been in
the hands of the Vigilance Committee dur
ing the last few days. He had confessed to
them his evil deed, and made important re-
Violations as to the ballot-box stufing which
in so many high and low scoundrels of this
city have been engaged for years past. I'm
til it was decided what course should be
taken by Sullivan, he was kept in close con-
finement. He was, however, allowed every
indulgence in the supply of food and other
necessary refreshments that the committee
could give. His nervous system appears to
have been greatly affected and broken down
by the tragic events Of the last few weeks.
He witnessed the execution of Casey and
Cora, and since then has showed much anx.
iety and apprehension on his account He
appeared to have lost his appetite, and usu.
ally ate very sparingly.
This morning, about six o'clock, Sullivan
called the guard, and asked.a drink of wa
ter. He told the latter that he had lust hac
a most horrid dream. He dreamed that he
had been condemned to dic--he saw the
guards approach-thcy seized him and pin
joined his arms-they led him to the fata

FOURTH OF July CELEBRATION. - TIL,

FOURTH OF July CELEBRATION. - The
Port Tobacco Literary Debating Club held
a meeting on Saturday last to make further
arrangements for the celebration Of the
Fourth, when FREDERICK STONE, Esq, was
elected President of the Club, J. J. HUGHES,
Esq, Vice President, and B. G.. STONE
STREET, Secretary.
The following committees were then ap-
pointed:
Committee Of A,rangenaents-Dr. Robert
Digges, DR.. VIM. II. Bruce, r. E. Bate
man.
Committee Of Reccotion-John B. Wills,
George Digges, B. G.. Stonestreet.
The Club will meet again on the 4th, at
II o'clock, NJ
In accordance with arrangements made
at previous meeting of the Club, JOHN
L. SHAckELFoRD will read the Declaration
Of Independence, and D. IGNATIUs SANDERS
deliver the Grafton The ceremonies on
the occasion will commence at half past II
o'clock.
We hope to see full attendance of our
fellow-citizens at this celebration There
has never been a period in our history as
a nation when there was greater necessity
for cherishing patriotic sentiments and fra
ternal feelings throughout the length and
breadth of the country than the present.
Instead of harmony prevailing among the
people of different sections, we painfully
witness discord created by sectional prejudi-
ces, and disorganizing tendencies on every
hand. AS people we should be united
as in times. past, and seek from this time
closer union in every noble sentiment that
would contribute to the preservation Of the
Union. Meet then on the glorious ami
versary of the day of Independence and let all
hate and prejudice be forever banished the
breast of every individual who claims to be
patriot. If the associations and recollec-
tons which cluster around this day are not
sufficient to awaken this determination then
may we begin to despair and look with ap-
pr ctrcr future glory Of OUT ma
ton.
