HORRID AFFAIR IN MAYSVILLE-NEGRO
- BURNED TO DEATH.

We are informed that on the Kentucky Thanks
giving day, a couple of young men of Maysville,
whose family connections are described as of the
highest responsibility" were on q drunken spree
at the Parker House" in that place, and protrac-
ting their frolic until a very late hour, after all the
household had retired to bed, attempted to arouse
the barkeeper to procure more liquor, and failing
in this, and succeeding in finding a yellow man,
nne of the walters, asleep, they concluded to set
fire 10 him in order 10 apaken him.! With this
view, they took a camphene lamp, and pouring the
fnid over his w~hiskcrs, ignited it, and the poor fell
lows mock and head became instantly wrapped in
an intense blaze, which continued until the fluid
was consumed.
The suferings of the victim were dreadful in the
extreme. No refinement of torture could have
produced more excruciating misery. But, strange
TO say, death did not release him from torment until
after the lapse of two weeks. The poor creature
was the slave of Mr.. Ball, keeper Of the Parker
House, who says, as our informant tells us, that no
human suffering could exceed that of his boy dur
ing the fortnight that he lived after the burning.
The yOpng inen respectfully connected" whose
drunkenness resulted in this horror. are said to
allege that they burned the negro by accident
that when holding the lamp to his face they man
aged to break it, and spill the fiery fu;o upon him.
The young men are rich. They have agreed to
pay Mr.. Ball 81 200 for the loss Of his servant.
Our informant says that no one in Maysville speaks
Of this transaction without a shudder OF horror,
but that no movement has been made toward a le-
gal investigation Of the matter, and that the "high
position" Of the parties implicated will overawe
any such movement. We ask the citizens Of Mays
vile, in the name Of their honor, if these things
can be true?- Cincinnati Commercial.

KANsAs-A FOURTH INvAsIoN.-At the election
held in Kansas on the 18th ult, for the adoption or
rejection of the new Constitution, the Nilsson
rians again invaded the Territory. At Lcaven-
worth they destroyed the ballot boxes and broke
up the election personally abusing some of the
officials. In other places on the Missouri border
they entirely prevented the holding of an election.
A house belonging to an anti-slavery man at
L%eavenworth, was burned, and a 9ro-slavery man
who was charged with the act was arrested and
lodged in jail. His friends rallied, broke open the
Jail, and burned it to the ground. Great excite
ment prevails, and both parties have sent for as
s~istance.

EXPECTATION OF DouGH.-The National Intelli-
gencer and the Boston Traveller express the hope
that the 'sofiening influences of christmas will
induce a yielding on the part Of some of the mem
bers of Z Congress"
A very natural expectation. In the past the
compromising amiability of Northern Congressman
has always been softened, indeed, fairly %liquiied,
by the mellowing, social and convivial influences
of the Shareholders at Washington. As yet we are
glad to see that the softening influences have not
acted as hap ,ily as hitherto.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD COLLISION.

On Monday evening, ut twenty-three minutes
past four, p. NJ, the Freight train, David Croft
Conductor, going east, and the Express train; A. G,
Levitt, Conductor, coming west, both under full
Roadway, ran into each other, two miles east Of
Darlington STATEN, completely demolishing both
locomotives and the baggage and first passenger
car of the Express, and instantly killing three
persons and wounding seventeen. The Freight
train was fifty minutes behind time, and had no
business on the road when the accident occurred.
There was but one watch on the whole train, and
that out of order, and belonged to the conductor,
and the engineer depended entirely on him to know
when, how fast and how slow to run. Such neg,
lect as tn at, until hen, was unheard Ct in the his
DRY of running trains. The matter will no doubt
be duly investigated, and the blame attached to
where it properly belongs.
KILLED.-A. Stokes, stage Agent, Enon Valley,
Pa, head mashed. Samuel johnson, Middleton,
Ohio, throat cut. And an Irishman, supposed
name, Kent.
As soon as the dispatches were received at
Pittsburg, preparations were made to start a ~reck
train to the scene of the accident with physicians.
The accommodation train which left Allegheny at
five or a little afterwards, continued on to the Sum,
nit and brought back to New Brighton the killed
and wouaded.
The above we copy from the Salem Republican.
The terrible slaughter and m~angling of human
beings was evidently the result of mostinexcusable
carelesness on the part of the employees of the
railroad company, on the Freight Train. The
company itself cannot be inexcusable for employ
ing men who can be so culpably negligent and
reckless. 1t, as well as the immediate agents in
these homicides should be held accountable by
the courts of justice as we'll as by the public at
large. In no other way can reasonable safety be
secured on our great thorougfares.

Band, for their services kindly volunteered on the
last evening. They gave the company some ex-
ccllent music. The good taste and skillfui execu-
ton Of this company is not excelled by any band
we have heard in this region. The fact is highly
creditable to the company, as but a short time,
comparatively, has elapsed since its organization.

The United States cannot help be-
Ing vastly benefited on account Of the
gigantic speculations now going for
ward in Europe. They are so extrav-
agant, and all for such vast sums of
money that capitalists are becoming
alarocd and looking out for safer in
vestments. That Europe is approach
ing a financial crisis, state Of bank
ruptey and revolution, no one can
doubt who places any value on the les
sons Of history, or the Developments
now being made there, in financial cir
Giles, or the reports Of the Credits MoIi-
lier, now established in every large
city Of Europe. The consequence Of
this is, that the money lenders Of Eu-
rope are looking towards the United
States as the place for safe investment
Of money, their ark Of safety when the
waters Of financial destruction begin to
pour down upon and overwhelm them.
This country at the present time, Is
free from any general speculation. The
prosperity which pervadcs every Sec
ton and every interest hes healthy
cc.ssis. 1t is real and substantial, and
rests upon the industry Of all classes,
and upon the Immense results which
will have been realized from that in
dustry. Every interest Of the country
has for many years been highly pro-
ductive. Our crops which are in tat
the basis Of all prosperity, have been !
enormous md every year must add

Of territory k now under cultivation,
