HON. H. w. billiard.

The annexed paragraph, which we find in
the Alabama Journal, will explain the cause of
the Hon. Mr.. billiards. failure to deliver his
promised lecture in Boston week or two ago.
No one who knows that gentleman would, for
moment, suppose him Indifferent to any en-
gagement he might make:
We learn that the illness of this distin-
guished gentleman prevented his making the
visit TO Boston which he SO much desired to
make. Every preparation was made by him
for the task to which he had been called, but
at the moment fixed ON for his departure, he
was compelled to take his bed instead of seat
in the cars. The extreme inclemency of the
weather produced such arrangement of the
mails that Mr.. billiards letters did not reach
Boston in time to prevent disappointment
We know that every arrangement had been
made by him to meet his engagements, and
that his friends found it extremely difficult to
dssuade him from starting upon his journey
when he was yet so Frustrated by severe illness
as to make it dangerous to travel. We are
happy to state he is now convalescent, and
that he is rapidly regaining his flesh and
strength"

FROM SANTA FEE AND Ell pAso.

The Santa Fe mail arrived at San Antonio
on the 18th ult., the mail party ell safe and
sound, Notwithstanding the extreme severity of
the cold weather they had experienced. The
Texan says that at Santa Fe the weather had
already been colder than had been known for
many years. General good health prevailed.
A short time previous to the return Of the mail
from Ell Paso, two Mexicans and four mul es
bad frozen to death between there and Santa
Fe. At Ell Paso the snow was several inches
deep, and the mail train from there TO our city
encountered several snow storms that lasted
during the entire day.
The Galveston Neps, noticing the arrival in
that city of ID. K. Diffenderffer, esq, United
States consul at FL Paso, on his way TO Wash
ington, says: He left FL Paso on the 9th ult.,
having experienced the severest cold on his
journey over the plains that has ever been
known in that region, with snow, hail. sleet,
and rain alternately. He, however, expert
enced no interruption from Indians on the
road. In fact, that frontier has been compare
lively tranquil for sometime past. The revo.
luton in that section Of Mexico has been com
plete under the auspices Of Comonftrt. Gen.
Trias has delivered over the Government OF
Chihuahua to Urquiza, having himself become
dissatisfied with the state of affairs

THE CHAPLAINCY.

The House of Representatives, after having
passed an order for the election of chaplain
to that body, yesterday indefinitely postponed
the subject.
1t was stated in the incidental debate that
there had been |" electioneering in person, y
by individuals who sought the clerical distinc.
ton, and, of course, no spoke in approba-
ton of the conduct of the aspirantsl A me-
mortal from Tennessee was read, containing
good reasons why such officers should not be
elected; the signers of the paper taking con-
stitutional and patriotic grounds in support Of
of their position.
However, the House is not to be without
prayer on the opening of the daily sessions.
All the ministers of the Gospel of the city are
to be invited to officiate alternately. When, as
one of the members said there shall cease to be
piety enough to have the solemn services per-
formed gratuitously, he would be willing to pay
for them.
If there had not been such "rush" for the
Office Of chaplain, the probability is that the
House would have elected one. The neglect
TO do SO, must be ascribed tothe indelicate i'm
portunities of the gentlemen who SO industri-
ously sought the professional distinction.

| The Canada arrived at Boston at 5 o'clock
on the evening of February 9th. The follow
ing items are taken from our exchanges.
Russia is said to have made it condition,
previous to her acceptance Of the peace propo
sitions, that no indemnifcation for the expenses
Of the war shall be demanded of her, and that
no cession of territory shall be exacted, except
that required for ratification, which being con-
coded, she agrees not to fortify the Aland
Islands.
1t is said that Austria will propose to the
German Diet to adhere to the peace prelimina.
res, in order that Germany may be admitted
to the conference.
Rumor says that Russia has selected Paris
for the meeting of the conference, to slight Aus
tria; that the Austrian Cabinet are offended
Herewith; that Russia intends, at the last mo-
ment, to demand in the name of the general in
terests of Europe an accordance with article
fifth; that England be forbidden to fortify
Heligoland, and restricted to peace purposes
demand voice in the conference.
England and France are making prepare
tons to continue the war. Iron coated float
ing batteries were being constructed in Russia
for the defence of Cronstadt.
Various opinions are expressed by the Lon
don journals the Queens speech. The opin-
ion on Change was unfavorable. The speech
opens with an eulogium upon the capture of
Sebastopol, and refers to the preparations for
the vigorous prosecution of the war; aludes to
the acceptance of Austria's conditions, which
she hopes will be the foundation of a treaty Of
peace. The speech also alludes to the conclu-
sion Of treaty with Sweden and Norway, con-
tanning defensive engagements applicable to
those dominions, tending to preserve the bal
ance of power in that section.

Young Wife Murdered by Her Husband
Subsequent Suicide.

We copy from the Memphis Vhig, ofthe 9th
inst, the following narrative Of one of the most
horrible tragedies we ever heard of:
ave heard, yesterday, the particulars of one
Of the most melancholy tragedies that we have
known for many years, which occurred in
Marshall county, Miss, about II miles from
Holly Springs, on Wednesday last. Mr.. R. r.
Cox, planter in good circumstances, killed
his own wife while she was lying asleep in her
bed, aud then shot himself through the head
killing himself instantly. This occurred some
time during the night, but was not known until
the next morning, when negro man went to
the room to make a fire and found the door
fastened Not being able to raise any one on
the inside, the negro called the overseer, who
came and forced the door open, when he found
Mr.. and Mrs. Cox dead-she was lying on the
bed with two bullets through her head, aud he
lying on the hearth, shot through the region Of
the heart, with his hand still grasping the
deadly revolver. They had been married but a
short time, and it is supposed that Mr.. Cox was
insane at the time, as he has frequently suffered
from alterations Of the mind.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cox we're known by many
of our citizens, he as the possessor and occu-
pant, some two or three years since, of the
dwelling in the southern part Of the city known
as the Swiss Cottage" while the young and
beautiful bride was, but a few months since, q
gay and lively schoolgirl, attending Mrs.
Armstrong; school in this city, and will be
remembered BY many as the pretty Miss Sallie
Wilson. Leaving school she married Mr.. G.
sometime last fall, and now she has been cut
of from all earthly hopes and happiness by him
who had solemnly vowed to love and protect
her. Ar. Q. was worthy young man, and
there can be no doubt but that he was laboring
under insanity atthe time of this awful calamity;
in fact, many circumstances that transpired a
day or two previous 60 to show that be was not
in his right mind.
Much sympathy is feltin this community for
the families and friends Of both the deceased
persons-families of the first standing in North
Mississippi. May God be their help in this,
their hour Of the deepest and most heart.rend-
ny affection.
The Memphis Enquirer, speaking of this
affair, says the parties had been married only
six weeks, and adds:
Mr.. Cox is the third male member Of a
worthy family who has died violent death
within the last eight or ten years One, in a
fit Of insanity, threw himself from the deck of a
Mississippi steamer and was drowned; another
was slain by the accidental discharge of a
! doube.barreled shot gun when starting on a
camp-hunt; and now we have to record the
death Of still another. and that Of his fair young
wife, by bis own hands
