TRAGEDY IN VIRGINIA.

The Charleston {Kanawha9 Republican
of the 18th, notices the violent death, on
the 14tb, of Edward Kenna, Esq, q gentle
man well known in connections with internal
improvements in the western part OF Virgil
MIA. He was a prominent member of the
Charleston bar. The Republican gives the
following account of the affair:
On Saturday last, when the boarders at
the Kanawha House were assembling tor
dinner, and the sitting room between the
bar and dining room was pretty we'll crowd
cd Mr.. G.. Smith demanded of Edward Ken
ma, esq. an explanation or retraetion OF
CHARGE made against him through Mr.. W att
Kenna denied or explained the said charge
to the satisfaction of Mr.. Smith, and as he
| turned to leave the room, Mr.. Watt called
Kenna "liar", and struck him with his
fist. A scuffle ensued. Neither of the par
ties had weapons. At this instant there
were in the room three or four discharges OF
pistol or pistols, Mr.. Kenna fell and ex-
pired Instantly; ball striking him in the
| back, passing through the vital parts (pro-
pably the hearty and lodging Immediately
below the skin under the right nipple. MIR.
! Watt received two slight wounds from bull
| lets-one making a crease on his head and
the other entering his left arm and passing
down near the elbow, where it was extract
ed. Much excitement prevailed in and a
bout the hotel. No one could tell who fired
| tho sbotS- Suoh was the sr6denneSS of the
ARRAY, and the consequent confusion in the
room that no one saw pistol in the hand
of any one.
| The coroner's inquest rendered a verdict
that Mr.. Kenna's death was caus by
wounds inflicted by James V. and Andrew
| D. Lewis, his brothers n-law. All the par
| ties are gentlemen of high social position.
The Circuit court of Kanawha adjourned
through respect to the deceased.
The Louisburg Chronicle gives the fol-
| lowing version of this tragic affair: 1t ap-
pears that Kenna had not lived on amicable
terms with his wife, who was lewis before
! marriage; that she had left him and sued
for bill of divorce. He INDUCED, by way
of revenge, in some harsh remarks about
her, and being asked by Mr.. Lewis if he
had used certain language attributed to
him in reference to his sister, he acknow-
lodged that he did, when a fight ensued,
which resulted in Kenna's death. He was
shot, we understand, three times, twice in
the breast and once in the lower part of the
forehead, between the eyes.

FOREIGN NEWS.

Ry the steamer Asia, we have advices
from Europe to the 18th June. The news
of the dismissal o. Champion and the En-
giish consuls has given rise to renewed e2-
eitement in England, and some OF the pa
pers there talk strongly in favor OF the I'M
mediate dismissal of our Minister, Mr.. Dali
las; but the opinion prevails that Mr.. Dali
las will be retained, for the present at least.
The people of England, just out of the Rus
sian war, with all of its-horr0rs, are opposed
to q renewal of war with the United States.
On this subject, we give below the ''Peace
Address of the Manchester peace Asso-
citation" 1t received 5000 signatures in
few hours. The articles in the London
Times and Post are studiously offensive
on the subject of the dismissal of Mr.. Dali
las, and demand either that or the applica-
ton of force to the United States. The
commercial and manufacturing classes are,
however, filled with anxiety at the terrible
consequences of war, and are actively NOV
ing to avoid the calamity. The Govern
! ment, however, appears silent on the sub
iect but this may be from motives of pol
icy. It is stated that the government has
telegraphed several ships ofwar, to prepare
with all possible dispatch. Their destina-
ton is supposed to be the coast of America.
All the commanders of the gun boats had
been called to the Port Admirals, as was
rumored, to received instructions for active
service.
The light squadron on dispatch steamers
and gun boats, under Commodore Watson,
arrived at Falmouth Sunday, to coal and
provision.
For our part, we feel Indifferent on the
subject. We have to give England one
more dressing, and sooner the better for all
parties.
The Asia's news shows decline of 3D..
in cotton of fair qualities, and a small ad-
vance in the price of bradstufs.

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
CASEY AND CORA HING.

As we anticipated, Casey, the murderer
of Editor King, has been hung under Lynch
law, and also Cora, the murderer of Mar
shall Richardson The Vigilance Com
mittee" have the whole country under their
control, and are determined to punish Of
tenders as fast as they can find them. 1t
will be seen that Yankee Sullivan robbed
the gallows by committing suicide. The
steamer Granada arrived at New Orleans
on the 26th ult. bringing the following in
telligence:
Casey and Cora were hung on the 122d.
The funeral of King took place on the same
day. The most perfect decorum was ex-
hibited in these proceedings. The Nigi-
lance Committee had arrested several other
desperadoes, among whom was the notori-
Gus Yankee Sullivan. On the lst of june
Sullivan committed suicide in his cell, leaV-
ing behind him confession in regard to
election frauds. On the I'd of June the OPP
ponents of the Vigilance Committee at
tempted to hold an indignation meeting
but it proved a total failure. 1t was ru-
mored that Gov. Johnston would endeavOr
to suppress the revolution, but he had yet
taken no steps. These rumors had created
much excitement, and thousands were rea-
DIV to march from the interior to the relief
of the Committee if necessary. The excite
ment continues and martial law prevails.
The Committee are determined to carry out
their measures, and continue to make ar
rests. An opposition was organized with
700 stand of arms. 1t was rumored that
the Committee rooms would be attacked
which were double guarded, with cannon
loaded with grape before the doors. All
the papers except the Herald side with the
Committee.
OREGON AND CENTRAL AMERICA.
The Indian hostilities in Oregon had been
partially suppressed.
There was nothing startling from Near
aqua. The Costa Rican army had been
disbanded, and cholera was raging through
out the country. Baron Bulnow died of
cholera in the retreat from Nicaragua.

COL BENTON.

Below is Col Benton's letter of accept
ance. For several years past, he has been it
is believed, partially insane, although there
are thousands who believe there is more
knavery than insanity about him. Although
there is not free-soiler in the country more
hostile to the principles OF the Democratic
Platform adopted at Cincinnati, yet he a
vows a purpose to support Buchanan, in
opposition to his own sOn-in-law, Fremont
for the Presidency. This has offended his
abolition brethren or the north, and they
are blowing, on him. The New York
Times says: The Colonel is evidently in
.clined to play a sharp game with the Dem
ocracy of Missouri. Aiming at the over
throw of tho Atchison and Stringfellow par
ty there, no proposes TO accomplish that
object by using their oxa weapons. He
goes for the Nebraska Presidential candi-
votes from the regular Nebraska candidate
for Governor.
Col. BENToN's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
To the Citisens Of Missouri:
have come to the determination, at this
place, to accept the Democratic nomina-
ton for the Office Of Governor of cur State,
induced to it by no paltry calculation of
the chances of an election, but wholly and
entirely upon considerations of public good.
The nomination of Mr.. Buchanan for the
Presidency, determines my course in rela-
ton to the Governorship. l consider him
the safest chance for preserving the peace
of the country now greatly endangered
both at aonae aud abroad, and believing him
10 be the best chance for peace, hold it
to be the duty of those who are in favor of
that object to assist in his election; and for
one, shall do so-in public capacity,
If you invest me with one, and as a private
citizen of Missouri, if not.
proceed to the State Immediately, first
landing at Cape Girardeau, and then pro-
sceeding to other parts of the country.
Your fellow citizen,

A PAINFUL CASE

The Circuit Court of Staunton (Virginia)
was engaged during the greater part of last
week in the trial of Blake Randall, citizen
of that county, for the murder of VIM. Ran
| dali, his own father. The circumstances of
the case were these: The father was vio-
lent, drinking, dangerous and worthless man;
the son a we'll behaved, sober and industri-
Gus young man, who had the whole care
and support of the family upon his shout
ders. He was in fact the head of the house.
hold. So outrageous had frequently been
the conduct of the father, in cruelty beating
his wife, his wife's aged mother and even
his son, that the latter had on one occasion
threatened to protect himself and the fami-
ly in the usual legal manner. Finally, the
father was induced to go away. He re-
NAMED absent year, at the end of which
time he returned, to resume his i'll treatment
of the whole family. In drunken frolic,
he swore vengeance against his son, and on
one occasion attempted to put his threat in
TO execution. The son determined to leave
the premises, but was induced to remain at
the urgent solicitation of the females The
old man, who is said to have been of power
full frame. made the threatened assault the
son fled and was pursued, and when about
to fall into the hands of his assailant, turn
ed and dealt him blow with some kind of
a cane. Either that blow or the fall which
resulted from it, fractured the old mans
skull, and he died. The prisoner was pros
ecuted by Col. Hartman, and defended by
Mrssrs. Stuart, Baldwin, W. H. Baylor and
and George Baylor. The jury returned
verdict of ''involuntary manslaughter'-
the penalty, three months Imprisonment in
the county Jail and fine Of one cent. The
value of good character is strikingly il
Illustrated in the issue of this case. Had
the son been a man of bad character Or the
father man of good character, the fate of
the prisoner would doubtless have been
very different.-[Specta
