The Boxer MARRIAGE.-Dean and his
wife, the New York celebrities, were at the
Bates House in Indianapolis. on Saturday, on
their way to Louisville; while in the city
they attracted the gaze Of all who met them.
The New York Herald gives the following de-
scription of the parting scene at her fathers
house:
We will not attempt TO describe the affect
ing scene that took place on the parting Of
the daughter from her father, mother and sis
ter. IL was a painful one, indeed, and would
have drawn tears even from Dean himself
Mrs. Dean bore herself with remarkable for
titude, and under the peculiarly distressing
circumstances which surrounded the case
showed herself to be a woman Of no COM
mon mould.
Dressed in black satin dress, gray man.
tilla, and black silk bonnet, with q reticule
in her hand, she emerged from the house o.
her parents, and with Mr.. Bertholf at hel
side, stepped into the carriage which had beer
drawn up III front Of the house for the pur.
pose Of conveying her to the arms of him fol
whom she had sacrificed so much. None o
the young lady's relatives accompanied hel
to the door. No father. mother or sister badt
her God speed, as the driver received the or
der to proceed on the journey.

A DOMESTIC RoMANcE-The Terre Haute
Express relates the following domestic story,
in neighboring county in Illinois:
"About six years since, young man named
Brooks left Coles county, ILL.,, for California.
leaving behind him young and beautiful wife.
to whom he had been married but few years.
Mrs. b.. after the departure of her husband,
was disconsolate, and for several years a regu-
lar correspondence was kept up between them.
All at once, however, Mr.. Il. ceased writing,
and for nearly three years his wife heard moth
ing of him. Thinking that he had disappear
cd in some mysterious manner in the wilds OF
California, Mrs. B. applied for divorce, which
was granted; and about year since she con-
tracted second matrimonial alliance. few
days since, however, Mr.. B. returned, full OF
life and vigor, and looking as little like ghost
as possible. Upon hearing Of his arrival the
late Mrs. B. was much distressed, and mani
tested evident signs of preferring No. TO No.
y. Our informant did not learn the cause oil
Mr.. BIS mysterious silence. We anxiously
await the denouement Of this domestic drama.

The PURCHASE OF MT. VERNON. Our read
ers will hear with pleasure, that the negotia-
tions for Mt. Vernon by the ladies' Mt. Ver-
non Association. have been almost completed,
and IL is confidently expected that on the next
birthday Of Washington, the Home and Grave
of the Father Of his Country will he publicly
placed under the control Of his Mother State.
1t has been long since announced that the
price asked for Mt. Vernon is 100000, and
repeated efforts have been made to purchase
it by the Legislature of Virginia. Failing in
these the ladies' came forward and pledged
themselves to the work. A few thousands
are now wanting to make up the amount need
ed. The State is to receive and own the
property; the ladies' are to reimburse the State.
Amy one contributing to the fund becomes a
member Of the Association; q stakeholder in
the tomb Of Washington. No country ever
had such dust in its keeping Americans
should deem it privilege to be permitted to
take part in the conservation of this spot
Funds may be sent to the Treasurer Of the
Mt Vernon Association at Richmond, Va
Tha receipts Of the money will be duly nc
knowledged.

@Gov. Wright publishes q letter upon
the subject of the Nebrasks Act and Squatter
Sovereignty, the authorship Of which has been
attributed to the Hon. K. w. Thompson, of
Terre Haute. The Nebraska Democrat ex-
tots the sentiments Of the Governor, whoif he
did not pen them, adopted and gave them the
sanction Of his name, and thereby made them
his own. and is entitled to the glory of having
uttered them.
Gov. WRIGHT OF INDIANA.-The election
is now over and we cannot be accused Of par.
tizanship in publishing the great letter Of Gov
Wright Of Indiana, which we give to ouI
readers this week.
We commend this letter to the careful pc.
rusal OF all our readers, irrespective Of party
for 1t is, in our opinion, an epitome Of the
most sound and statesman like views Of the
question discussed. The opinions Of Gov
ernor Wright we most sincerely and heartily
endorse. and We hope to see the "sober secont
thought" Of the American People, in whom
we now, and ever hope to have, the most i'm
plicit confidence, adopt them as the basis OF
which rests the future welfare and stability o
our Coniederacy.
Read and ponder we'll what Governo
Wright has so eloquently said, for he is
rare statesman, and what is far better he j
an honest man.-Nebraska Democrat.

A Foul DEED.--A young man was sent by
his father in Brooklyn, n. Y, to take charge
of a farm belonging to him in Pike county
Pennsylvania. After his departure nothing
was heard Of the lad for several weeks; it
was suspected he had been murdered, and a
man was arrested on the charge, but no trace
Of the body or evidence of the fact that a
murder had been committed, could be pro-
cured. On visit Of tho father, last week, to
the prisoner under arrest, he told the parent
that his son had been shot while asleep in bed
by another man, with whom he had difficult
ty; and that his body was afterwards consum-
ed to ashes, an6 the residum thrown into a
river to oblitera,e all trace Of him. The faith
err went to the spot on the river where it was
said the ashes had been cast into the water,
and on some projecting rocks he found sever
al charred bones, buttons and fragments OF
half burned clothing, as though they had been
thrown from the bank above. He carried the
mournful relics to his home in Brooklyn
Thus the fate of the missing lad seems fear
fully accounted for. The details Of the muir
der, as well as the indemnity OF the guilty,
have yet to be developed.

mony il so inconclusive against the prisoners
Mrs. Cunningham and Eckel-as to make
the whole matter still mystery-and as
one important fact is yet unexplained-the
whereabouts Of the Doctor from s o'clock in

the Governor onght to offer reward suti.
cient to induce those who might be compro-
missed by the disclosure, to come forward and
reveal what they may know. It is supposed
that some brothelor gambling house retains
the secret for fear that revelation might de-

has given instructions that all foreign mer-
chandise in warehouses on the first day Of July
merit at whatever date it may have been i'm.

articles on which the rates Of duties have
been edaced, than their wants compel them
to take, in order to save the reduction of du-

into the country, one would suppose.

THURSDAY MORNING, :::::.::::::APRIL Q
Ma. ISetE's PApxRs. upon the affairs of

Ma. ISGLE's PAPERS. upon the affairs OF
the Straight Line Railroad, have been pub
lished in pamphlet for distribution. We pre-
sumo, among the voters, prior to the munich
pal election. 1t appears from Mr.. Ingle's pa
pers that all the errors, wrongs and frauds,
committed in the management and direction
Of the road, are found in that Pandora's Box.
Of q contract with Willard Carpenter & Co;
and the grand remedy he proposes for all the
actual and apprehended evils, is the abandon
ment Of that contract by Mr.. Carpenter
That. remedy has already been tried, and
would not work. We are informed by one
of the Directors of the road. that resolu-
ton was offered at meeting Of the Board
last autumn, to rescind the contract, and re-
lease Messrs. Carpenter & Co., from their OBJ
legations. and it was rejected; for the reason
that the Board did not believe that another SO
favorable for the Company could be made
with any other parties, and that to abandon
the present contract would be virtually an en-
tire abandonment of the road. II the present
contractors, with all their private resources and
personal credit, could not carry the road for
ward, it was useless to make contracts for
its completion with parties of less means;
and to find men, who would engage in the
work, with larger means and credit was i'm
possible; the proposition to rescind the con-
tract was, therefore, unanimously rejected
It appears, then, that the parties who are tn
be ruined by this contract, so far differ with
Mr. Inglel in opinion, that they will not allow
it to be abandoned; and Mr.. Carpenter how.
ever anxious he may be to follow Mr.. Ingle's
advice. and prevent the great predicted calam.
ity Of defeating the road, cannot get his neck
out Of the halter, that is first to strangle him
and then break the Company's neck. This
being the case, the discussion is entirely q
bootless one. 1t has been as useless as whist.
ling in the eye of Northwestern. 1t appears
to be, the Carpenter contract, or no road. Mr..
Carpenter is the man to build the road, and il
he lays down the burthen, there is no one to
b found who will shoulder it. At all events
it is unjust to blame, him for retaining con.
tract that he can't get rid of.

CHEAP LANDs.-The American Colonial

purchase, by their agent in Africa, Of twenty
miles square OF an elevated and eligible tract
for settlement in the Zods Queah country, for
goods valued at some $40. This is ten cents
per square mile. Some Of our land specula-
tors will be for annexing this cheap territory
and would be ready in few years to lay
down railway throughit to obtain an appro.
priation Of every alternate township.

an impression that the emouments Of the

This is a mistake The commissions Of post

and the receipts from boxes to be retained by
Postmasters are likewise limited to 1000 dol
lars, so that four thousand dollars is the max.
imum annual salary for the postmasters of the
most lucrative Offices.

THE KANSAS CONFERENCE.-The most
cogent objection to the law Of the legislature
Of Kansas providing for the Convention to
frame Constitution, has been, that it con-
tanned no provision for submitting it when
framed, to vote Of the people for their ap.
proval. This has been universally denounced
as an unjustifiable omission, which originated
in design to fix upon the people constitu-
ton which they would not sanction, if sub.
mitted for their approval. A member of the
legislature has explained the reasons for the
omission, and they appear satisfactory. The
subject was debated. and the Committee to
whom 1t was referred, were Of the opinion
that it was matter belonging exclusively to
the Convention to direct--that 1.-The assembly
had no power to dictate to the convention
(which when assembled, would represent the
sovereignty of the people,, what course
should be pursued on that or any other sub
ject
"If the assembly had Power to command a
reference of the constitution to the people
that body certainly had the right to make
other requirements, and thus might have die
tated provisions on any other subject.
There can be no doubt of reference Of the
constitution to the people"
If this was the view Of the legislature, il
was proper one, and il the Constitution be
submitted to the people, there is no fear o
any great wrong being perpetrated In its adop
ton, il the people shall he protected in their
right to vot. by the strong arm Of the gener
al government under thu official guardianship
Of Gov. Walker. Our friends emigrating t
Kansas may have no fears Of further dstur
bance in the Territory.
