Col. Fremont and the North Americans.

We subjoip the letter which Col. Fremont
has addressed to the Committee of the late
American Convention, held in this CITY. in
reply to the announcement of his nomina-
ton by that Convention. 1t is distinct and
appropriate in its language, and puts the mat

1T breathes, of union for the common cause.
and which indeed animates the people every
where, is the sure pledge of our triumph

Murder and Outrage in Missouri.

The following is an extract from private
letter received in this city. We see in this
recital what is reserved for Kansas if the
ruffians are allowed to subjugate it to the
will of the slave Power :-Chicogo Press
SAVANNAH, Mo-, June Is, 1856.
Yesterday the Northern Metbodsts held
a meeting at Rochester, place about seven
miles from here. Some of the slayeholding
rowdics gave them notice to leave tic State
a few days before. But instead Of paying
any attention to it they commenced their
meeting. A band OF ruffians entered, took
the preacher, tarresy 0ad fdthered him, ant!
killed one nlan in cold blood. Some of
those that helped and were at the head OF
this, were from this town.
A few days before, drunken pro-slavcry
fellow got after a man from the East (ol
course he was called an Abolitionist jim
suited and finally attacked him with club,
and tie man to save lis own fc turned
round ana shot Kim, which almost any mar.
would have done. They have the man in
jail here in Savannah. If the tic man that
Was shot dies, it is thought that Tic one that
shot him will be hung by mob.
1t is stated in all the papers round here
that the fuss was caused by abolitionism.-
And so it goes. The man that was killed at
the meeting was very old mana very fine
man; too-and lie was doing nothing but at
tending his own church. Don't you think
it is shameful? Things are going on at such
a rate that this State will soon be like
MeXicp.

New Building Material,

About one year ago, we had occasion to
allude to new building material, in the
shape of brick-ifwe may SO call the article
manufactured from lime and sand. The
composition consists of nine tenths of the
latter cheap commodity to onc-tenth of lime.
Machines have been invented to mould and
press this new kind of bricks, by which they
can be manufactured with great rapidity
The sun and weather hardens them
into perfect cement, and the more expo
sure they are subjected to, the more imper-
vious they become. We tested this matter
thoroughly last year, by keeping one o. these
bricks-left with us by Mr.. Hemiup of ST.
Anthony-in an exposed position for several
weeks.
building made of this material is not
only equally if not moro, endurabe than one
of the common brick, but at least one-half
cheaper and certainly hundred per cent.
more beautiful.
The discovery was made by Ambrose
Foster, Esq, of Wisconsin. A machine fer
the manufacture of the article has been set
up in st. Paul, by Mr.. Albert Knight, who
holds the right for the Territory of Minneso-
| ia. The machine lie uses is the invention of
Mr. 5. Parshley, of New Haven, Comm
and it certainly "works to charm.' Those
who are still credulous as to the practical
bility of this new and cheap building mate
rial, should call at Mr. Knights yard, near
the residence Of j. G. Burbank, ESQ.,, where
they can see the machine in full operation,
and judge Of the general facts we have stated
above. We think the day of red burned
brick is about passed. -
PROBABLE SUIc1DE-The BODY of Goo r
Mckenzie, the late keeper of the public house
on Bench street, known as the Mansion House,
was found in the riverycstcrday, near the up
per Landing. A report prevailed about tie
city during the day, that lie had been foully
dealt with. But upon investigation by a
Coronor's jury, no marks of violence were
found upon his person. The only verdict
that could be rendered was, that he was
found drowned in the Mississippi river. He
had not been at home since Monday last.

E The widow of Heating, the servant
at Wizards Hotel, Washington, who was
shot down by Mr.. Herbert, the representa-
tive in Congress from California, is dead
leaving behind her several orphan children.
The shock Of grief at her husbands death,
and the preying of grief at his loss, have
hurried her into an untimely grave. Thus
the double murder is complete, and the muir
dcrer, shielded from the penalty Of hiscri,ne
by the votes of the administration members
Of Congress, still sits in the House to make
laws for the republic.
Extract of letter TO the PHILADELPHIA
Enquirer dated Washington, June Goth,
1856: It's understood here that every cf-
fort will be made to defer the trial of the
Hon. Mr.. Herbert for the killing az Heating,
until after the Presidential election for, as
| it is determined that he shall not be con-
victed, the democratic politicians fear the
result of his acquittal upon the Irish voters
Of the country. And well they may, for, as
the Germans appear to be leaving that party
everywhere, and joining the Republicans, if
the Irish follow their example what becomes
of Buchanan and the party.'

fortified themselves some four miles above

dred guns, besides pistols AMI bowie knives,
and to bid defiance to their opponents. AL
most every man is armed, and all are in con

everywhere, and no man can leave his home
