Murder Most Foul.

We have been informed Of a most foul MUIR
der that was perpetrated somewhere on Grand
River in this parish last week. 1t seems that
a man was laying in his tent sick, his business
being that of getting timber out of the swamp,
when one of his fellow workman, for reasons
we are not aware of, came to the opening Of
the tent with gun in hand, and deliberately
fred at the sick man, the shot taking effect in
his thigh and groins. Another man in the tent
sprang up and ran off, when the second barrel
was fred at him, but missed. The assailant
then calmly went aside and reloaded his gun +;
and while thus engaged the wounded man had
crawled off into some thick bushes. The MUIR
derer returned, found his victim missing, look~
ed for him a few moments Intellectually, and
then made his escape to this town, and from
here probably to the city. The wounded man
died on the following day. We could learn
the name Of neither Of the parties.

The Reaction.

Still they Come.-The reaction in favor of
Fillmore, everywhere going on, is extraordina-
~. Almost daily, says the New Orleans Bull
Ietin, we chronicle either the establishment of
new papers 10 support him, or the wheeling
into line of those already established. Within
a short time, three leading journals in New
Jersey, namely the Trenton State Gazette,
the Salem Standard and the Hudson County
Courier, have all declared themselves for the
great national candidate, Fillmore.
Another-The Somerset Wing has run up
the Fillmore flag. The editor, in ~allusion to
the fact says: We do this at the urgent in.
stance and request of numerous party friends,
and in accordance with what we believe to be
the largely prevailing sentiment of the county.
And yet M0re.-The Mercer county (Pa.)
Republican some time ago hoisted the names
of Fremont and Dayton, but SO great was the
feeling Of opposition among its supporters,
that it has recently taken down these worthless
| and put in their stead the names of Fillmore
and Donelson.
And here is a voice from California. The
San Diego Herald, formerly the organ Of the
Democratic party lnthe Southern portion of
Alta California, is out for Fillmore and DOM
eIson. It's editor, J. Judson Ames, ESQ.,, says
he can't go that party any longer. The Sono-
ra Herald, one of the ablest papers in the mi
ming regions, also hoists the American flag, and
is doing stout battle for Fillmore and Donel-
som
The Conservative is the title Of a new Fill
more paper just started at Springfield, ILL.,, and
which promises TO do battle with great yigor
in behalf of his election.
Young America is the name of a spirited
little paper just started at Bonnet Care in
this State, which advocates the cause of Fill
more and the Union, and promises to do good
service in the good cause.
Another Recrua--Col. r. Fl. Tatume, one
of the most influential Democrats of Dade
county, Georgia, has come out openly for Fill
more. His support is said TO be worth many
votes.
SIN they Come.--D. Q. Daily, Esq, Assis,
tant Fremont EIectof for Indiana at large, has
left the party and come out boldly for Fillmore
and Donelson. The reaction is going on.
And thus W. might continue the list Of de-
s%ertions from the Democratic ranks, to the ex.
clusion of all other matter.

Something Extraordi nary.

The New Orleans Bulletin finds the follow.
ing paragraph in the Baltimore American, a
journal than which there are few more reliable
in the country:
A6olaionists for Buchanan There has
been a large accession Of Abolitionists in New
England and elsewhere to the cause of Buch~
anan. VIM. Lloyd Gnrrison, Parker, Pillsbury,
Wendell Phillips-these are the jewels which
the Democratic party are adding to its trea'
sures; and the Anti Slavery Standard of Mas
sachusetts and the Anti-Slavery Bugle of Ohio
are now co-workers of the Washington Union,
Richmond Enquirer, Ohio Statesman and Gin
cinnati Enquirer.
That VIM. L. Garrison, the Cerberus of Alb.
clifton, and his clan, says the above paper
should support the pretensions of Buchanan,
should excite the alarm of every man in the
Southern States. There can be no question,
in view of these facts, as to the motive which
induce them thus to act. They are known to
be open, avowed and bitter Disunionists, and
their object in supporting Mr.. Buchanan can
be no other than to accomplish this object -
Let the whole South halt and ponder upon this
new phase of the subject, thus presented.

Ten Thousand Converts.

The stampede which has taken place in In
diana among the Buchanan and Fremont men,
is alarming the Democratic Federal Foreign
part, says an exchange, to fearful extent. AS
many as 10000 men went over to Fillmore and
Donelson-so says a member of Congress,
just returned to Washington from Indiana
This is only the beginning of the end of mat
tiers in Indiana. Illinois and Ohio. Revolutions
never go backwards. All the Fillmore party
have to fear, is that Buchanan will be with.
drawn in those States, so as to concentrate
their forces on Fremont. Already, in Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio, are the Democrats said to be
petitioning the Central Committee at Wash
ington to take Buchanan off the track Look
out in the South for a single handed race in
the above States between Fillmore and Free
mont.
