ONT Is settled in his mind and RyoN ed 10 his
ersonal friends, that is, to initiate the exampIe
f Gen. jackson, by making the Cabinet a unit.
nd inmaking il, if the purpose be not attained
t the first experiment. He is sensible that
len. Pierce's Administration split on the rock
,f attempting TO make harmony with incon.
yruous elements and hostile factions. He also
'ays that he has given no NassGrace, pronisesor
pledge in any quarter respecting any important
places here or elsewhere. We have no donhf

ultimo Mr.. William Pearce, residing near thar
place, whilst he was eating supper told one Of
his negro men, who had been guilty of sOme
misdemeanor that so soon as he was through

when he got up from the table he went out into
the back yard and called the fellow ont of
the kitchen, and told him 10 come 10 him.
MaRifesting a great deal of submission he
obeyed, bat so soon as he got in striking dis
tance threw an axe, which had been concealed.
and split in twain the head of his master, scat.
tering the brains in every direction. The

PRISONERS EsCAPED.-The prisoners who
were confined at the Jail ut New Caste made
their escape OH Sunday night. When the

leave,) the Jail empty. The prison is csmpara.
lively useless. Some measures will have In
be taken by the Levy Court either for the erc.
ton of a new one or the making Of the present
prison a secure place for the confinement OF
criminals. We understand that thirteen in all
made their escape, including the McGFahnas
who were indicted for assault and battery npon
WIN. and Robt. McElwee., They cut hol.
through the floor and pass out thrOug b the yard,
by punching hole in the wall.-DeLa1are
