HoN. THEODORE FRELINGHUYsEN. A statement, says the Nashville Patriot, has been going the rounds of the Democratic press, republished from the Memphis Bulletin, to the effect that Hon. Theodore Frelinghuy- sen has announced his determination to vote for Mir. Buchanan. The state ment is untrue. The Newark (N. J) Eagle of the 27th of September, says: ''Mr. Frelinghuysen has, within a few days past, unequivocally declared his intention to vote for Willard Fillmore for the Presidency" \.

POISONING BY SrRYcHNINE-Iti is unfortu
nate for the purpose Of the murderer, but
favorable to the ends of justice, that strych-
nine should be selected for the diabolicsl OBJ
ject Of taking away life. There is, perhaps,
no poison which produces such characteristic
symptoms in the victim while he yet lives, or
which affords more decisive evidence of its
presence after death. Deluded by imperfect
knowledge, the murderer may, perhaps, ina
gine he has purchased immunity for his crime
by the minuteness of the dose of the poison
by its mysterious effects resembling those of
natural disease, and by the supposed difficulty
of detection among the lifeless tissues. But
the finger of science points to the detection Of
his crime, and dissipstes his visionary hopes
the grain Of white powder, which he antici-
pates will carry his victim silently to the grave,
excites, on the contrary, the most violent and
characteristic convulsions; a minute fraction
of a grain lying on the animal membranes
after death, will exhibit, under appropriate
tests, a series Of resplendent and iridescent
rings of color to the chemists view; and a
portion of fluid from the intestines introduced
into the tissues of q living animal viii again
excite the identical convulsions which fol-
lowed the first administration of the poison

TRAFFIC IN WHITE GIRLs.-The traffic in
girls between England and this Continent has
OF late been carried on, says a German paper,
II not upon so large a scale or SD openly as
that Of Circassia or Constantinople, at least in
Tar more shameful manner, without our
boasted civilization interposing any remedy
The Hessian broom -girls-those poor little
haxen-haire creatures who are purchased or
stolen from Hesse TO be employed by their
thleving masters as beggars in the streets of
London-sre, Heaven be praised, less and less
frequently seen here, but in their place we
notice the cyprians swsrming, more and more
German women. These are enticed thither
with specious pretences from Hamburgh, Bre-
men and the Rhine countries; taken in charge
by PROGRESSES, reduced to abject destitution,
and at last turned upon the streets. On the
other hand, the German and especially the
Hamburgh brothels have their regular agents
here, by which English girls are through a
thousand yillainous arts allured on board ship
and carried off to the Continent. Not long
since one OF these cases was brought before
the city magistracy. A young girl had been
taken away from her fathers house almost by
force In tho deepest distress he applied to
Sir Robert Garden for aid in recovering his
child, and fortunately, in time to OBTAIN it.
Sir Robert telegraphed to the Hamburg Police
to arrest the kidnappers, and at once sent over
two trusty agents to release the girl. Smith
and Munger-the agents employed-state that
they succeeded in this, only after much effort;
that the procuress who took the girl, had re-
ported her as thief, and that they had reason
TO suspect that said procuress was on excel
lent terms with the Police, who raised all sorts
OF obstacles in their way that many other
English girls were kept in Hamburgh upon
various pretexts; that the traffic was tho
roughly organized; that the British Consul
was aware of the facts, but could do absolutely
nothing unless Lord Clarendon should see ft
to take decisive measures, and, finally, the
wretched condition of these unfortunate vic
Tins was heart rendipg
