nation Of Buchanan, "Phantom" had still con
tinued to warn the South Of the dangers likely
to result to them from his elevation, we should
have been halfway inclined to believe he was
to make atonement for all the mis-
chief he had tried to commit az correspondent
of the National Era. But alas, poor human
nature his olfactories scented the "loayes

and he yielded to the temptation, and yet poor

The OpERA.-There was crowded house last
night at the National, and the Bohemian Girl, we
will venture TO say was never performed more art
istically or more agreeabiy.
Tonight we are to be favored for the first time,
with Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor the inci-
dents of which are derived from Scots celebrated
romance, the Bride Of Lammermoor. AS this
opera is one Of the most admired of Donizetti's
works, and as 1t is performed for the benefit OF a
great favorite---Mr. Harrison--we presume every
seat will be taken long before the commencement
of the overture. The musical amateurs Of the Dis
trict should turn out en- masse this evening, in
honor of gentleman who Is an honor to his pro-
fession. ps
THE RETURN OF THE REsoLUTE.-Captain Harts-
tein, in command of the Ems glis bark Resolute,
has been fully instructed by the Navy Department
relative to the course to be pursued by him in the
execution of his trust, and takes out letter to
Lord Clarendon from the State Department, en-
closing the joint resolution of Congress for the
purchase of that vessel from the American crew
who found it abandoned in the Arctic Ocean, for
presentation to the British Government and ex-
pressing the qualification of the administration ON
behalf of the people of the United States in ten
dering this token of the friendly feelings by which
our country is actuated. The time for this inter
national courtesy is considered here to be oppor-
tune, in view of the settlement Of the Central
American question.

FATAL ELECTION AYrRAY IN WORCESTER CouN-
rY.-We find in the Snow Hill Md Shield an ac-
count of the violent death of Baily Hickman Esq,
an esteemed citizen Of that county, at the hands
Of Mr.. John H. Snead, formerly Of Virginia, but
recently travelling dentist in Maryland. The un-
fortunate affair occurred at Berlin, the day of
the Presidential election. The Shield thus details
the facts:
In the afternoon of the day stated a quarrel
arose between Democrat and an American, in
which high words and strong threats were used
by both, causing large collection of persons in
that part of the village where it occurred. The
parties were, however, soon separated, and the
political friends Of each clustered round in con-
versation about the affair.
During this time Snead and Hickman met on the
outside of the collection Of persons when words
ensued between them, and it appears Hickman
and Snead seized each other, Hickman striking
Snead several times with an umbrella; and during
the scuffle Snead stabbed Hickman in three places
--one Of the wounds laying open the cavity Of the
heart, one making an incison in the upper part OF
the heart, and the other entering deeply into the
under part of the left arm killing Hickman almost
instantly. After he was thus stabbed, or during
the progress OF it, 1t appears q number Of Snead's
political friends rushed in upoS Hickman. beating
and kicking him in meet unmercifnl msnncf,
cutting his scalp from the top part OF his head,
and bruising and cutting his person In other places
Snead was subsequently arrested and committed
to jail On Saturday last he was released on 1000
bail. Mr.. Hickman was an enthusiastic Democrat,
an 4 Snead jealous American.
IT Makes THEM SoUIRN---The bull" OF tJohn,
Archbishop for the province of New York, - cali
ing upon faithful Catholics to support Buchanan,
published in the Philadelphia papers on the morn
ing of the election, opens the eyes OF some of the
Republican editors. We have already quoted the
remarks Of the Syracuse Journal; we now give
those by the Oswego Times, another Republican
paper:
"If the Catholic Church Is to come before the
country arrayed as distinctive political organiza
ton, melting all its yotarcs to vote in drec
tion, it Is high time the people knew it. We can
tell Bishop Hughes, and all concerned, that there
are thousands and tens Of thousands of men in
this State who have hitherto been disposed to toll
crate religious freedom to the utmost who will
arise one man to put down such interference
