SINGULAR AND SHOCKING MURDER.

SINGULAR AND SHOCKING MURDER.
We notice in the last numberiof
the Washington (Ark.) Telegraph,
an account of one of the most sim
cular and shocking murders it has
ever been our lot TO record
We have not room for the details,
which occupy nearly a column of
the TclegyuphS but merely state
the facts. A negro boy, only
eleven years old, belonging to Mr..
James ID. Caldwell, of Hemp
stead county, decoyed off into the
plantation, to a well used for
plantation purposes, child of
Mr.. Caldwell, and threw him into
the we'll and drowned him, and
afterwards, to conceal the body
threw quantity of brush into the
water. To conceal his footsteps
to and from the well, the boy at
forwards got a heavy brush and
dragged it after him some distance.
When search was made for the
child, and it was suspected that
he was in the well, the boy was
ordered to go after grabs to drag
the well, but instead Ofdoing so,
fled to the woods and concealed
himself. This norrid- crime evin-
ces precocity of malice, and a
depth of Sdepravity which are re-
voting and astonishing.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

WEDSERDAY, April 80, 1855.
PRAYER by Rev. Mr.. Waldo.
The SPEAKER laid before the House a commu-
nicaton from the Interior Department relative to
the construction of bridges over the Potomac at
Little Falls, and Georgetown. Referred.
Mr.. EUSTIS, from the Committee on Commerce,
reported bill to remove distractions from the
mouth of the Mississippi Referred to the Commit
tee of the Whole.
Mr. WASHBURN, of illinois, reported several
bills from the Committee on Commerce, providing
for the improvement of harbors on the Lakes.
Referred to the Committee Of the Whole.
Also, bill to establish collection districts and
ports of entry, and for other purposes.
Mr. w. moved its reference to the Committee
of the Whole, and its postponement till the first
Monday in June.
Objection was made by Messrs. McMULLEN,
BOCOCK, and others, to the postponement of the
bill to day certain.
Mr.. G. w. JONES also contended against the
postponement to day certain.
Mr. FULLER, of Maine addressed the House
in support of the bill In reply to question from
Mr.. JONES, he stated that he regarded the bill as
perfect as it could be made. The object of it was
to condense or codfy all the existing Legislation on
the subject of the revenue, from the commence
ment of the government to the present day. 1t
was subject of the first Importance, and he hoped
that gentlemen would be willing to let 1t be as
signed for particular day.
Mr. HAVEN was disposed to regard the bill
with favor but he never would consent to its pas
sage without its being made the special order in
Committee Of the Whole, in order to have it tho
roughly discussed. He should vote, therefore, to
postpone with that view. We are told that 1t con-
tains 400 pages-a digest of the whole revenue
laws of the country. He had been informed that
the Secretary of the Treasury had given the sub
iect much attenton--he had even done him the
honor to consult with him about IL. But notwith-
standing this he was unwilling to put the bill upon
its passage, without thorough discussion of its
provisions.
Mr.. MILLSON also spoke in favor Of subecting
the bill to thorough scrutiny.
Before the question was decided our report
clnaad

TUESDAY, April 20, 1856.


After our report closed yesterday
The House agreed to the appointment OF COM
mittee of conference on the Deficiency bill having
previously insisted on its disagreement to the SEN
ate amendments
Mr.. SPINNER, of New York, called up for con-
sderation the following resolutions heretofore
ported from the Committee of Elections:
Resolved That Thos. ]. d. Fuller is elected to
and rghtfully entitled to seat in the Thirty
Congress-
Resolued, That James A. Milliken, the contest
ant, be paid the usual mileage and daily compen-
sation from the Sd day of March last to this day.
A division of the question being asked, the
question was taken on the first resolution, and it
was agreed to.
The remaining resolution was then agreed to-
yeas 81, nays 80.
Mr.. QUITMAN then addressed the House, in
Committee of the Whole, on the subject of our
neutral relations with other Powers. He advoca-
ted bill which he yesterday gave notice he should
ask leave to introduce Viz: to repeal certain sec
tions of the neutrality laws. This bill was intended
to produce radical revolution in the system that
had heretofore been adopted by this country, but,
as he proceeded to argue, was necessary to carry
out the destinies of this great nation. He also
urged the national necessity Of the acquisition of
the island of Cuba
Mr.. BURLINGTON, Of Massachusetts, then OBJ
tanned the floor, when the committee rose.
And then, at half past three o'clock, the House
adjourned.

Il was reported that Walker intended 10 attack
the Costs Ricans at Virgin Bay about the 26th,
having 900 Americans aud 800 natives under

A number Of Minnie rides were taken from the

The British frigate Eurydice was the only vessel
at San Juan. Her boats were constantly on duty
watching the movements Of the Americans Pas
sengers who came down the river were prohibited
by them from going on shore.
An official bulletin issued by Mora declared all
flibusters taken with arms In their hands should
be put to death, but all who had not used arms
against Costa Ricans, and would give themselves
up to officers of the Costa Rican army, should be
pardoned. Appended to this was list Of seven
teen Of Schlessinger's party, who were taken and
shot; they were mostly Irishmen and Germans
only two Americans.
Affidavits in respect to the slaughter Of Ameri-
citizens at Virgin Bay, and the destruction Of
property of the Transit Company by the Costa Ri
cans having been made, Mr.. Wheeler addressed
strong protest to Mora, not only against such con-
duct but against his threat to drive the Americans
from Costa Rica and Nicaragua and, unless ex.
planned or atoned for, decided measures on the
part Of the United States government were threat
ened by Mr. Wheeler.
