MvRrERYous Sulc1ps AT NEW BEDFoRD.--
The New Bedford Mercury states that stranger,
who registered his name as Daniel Dayton, nom
| Philadeiphia, committed suicide at the Mansion
/ House. in that city, at some time between the
| house of P NJ, on Wednesday, and 8 IL P.
NJ. on Thursday, BY taking nearly an ounce and
half of laadanums which he bought at Church's
| drug store on Wednesday at p. M. His room
was locked, and forced open at P NJ,
Thursday, when he was found lying on the floor
in an easy position, with the vial on the table
| empty. He had also attempted to destroy him
| self by severing ihe arteries in both leps and a
| good deal of blood was found in basin near He
| had no baggage, and nothing whatever to identi-
| ty him was found on his person. He was dressed
in Vermont grey pants, dark vest. and blue
reehng jacket, and had reddish KOssuth hat
was about fifty yea old, Eve feet six inches high
and weighed one hundred and fifty pounds, and
had small sum of money him. The police
think they have seen him here before, and he is
1ot thought to have been laboring man. A Jury
OF inquest rendered verdict of suicide in accord
ance with the above facts. Coroner Edwards will
give any further information required.-BUstoa
TraUelier.
1t seems to us very strange that person whose
name has been SO long associated with one of the
boldest and most heroic enterprises for the good
of fellow men should come to an untimely end
in city ofso much intelligence as New Bedford,
and that the editor of leading newspaper should
refer his readers to the coroner for any further
information concerning him.
The Daniel Drayton here referred to was un-
doubtedly the master of the schooner Pearl, who
about ten years since, actuated by motives of hui
manity, alone made the attempt to rescue sixty
or seventy slaves from condition worse than
death, by embarking them on board of his vessel,
at Washington, and sailing for Philadelphia.
The slaves were missed before the vessel had got
well out to sea, pursuit was made by steam
boat, and the slaves were captured near tho
mouth of the Potomac. Capt. Draytou and his
mate, Sayres, were cast into prison for life, we
believe, but after remaining about five years, were
pardoned out by President Fillmore at the close
of his term of Office, through the intercession Of
Hon. Charles Sumner. Capt. Dray tons health
was seriously impaired by his long confinement
and he has been invalid ever since his release
sustaining himself and family by the sale of his
tory of his own life. Rev. E. E. Hale, formerly
of this city, but now of Boston, has always mani
Tested warm interest in the welfare of Capt
Drayton and his family, and we believe that
through his assistance the children OF this old
hero were provided with good homes, when both
parents were weighed down with sickness ami
privationS.

MURDER BY Boy OF Ten YEARs.-In New
Orleans negro boy has been convicted OF
murder. under the following circumstances
"The boy was flying kite, when a mulat-
to child broke the string. The boy furiously
struck the child on the head with an axe, and
afterwards endeavored to drown it in barrel
of rain water. This he was prevented from
doing BY being discovered. The child died from
the effects OF the blow with the axe, eight
days after. The boy is only ten years of age.
He does not seem tie realize the enormity of his
crime. During the trial he was perfectly in.
different to what was going on, and when re-
turned to jail he asked the sheriff if he was
going to keep him there all the time. He
laughs when told that he is to be hanged, and
in other ways exhibits sort of idiotic uncon-

The WAR TRAIL or, The Hant of the WSid
Horse. Romance of the Prairie. BY Capt.
Mayne Held, author of @ The Scalp Hunters"
Rife Rangers" g White Chief" Hunters
Feast" "Quadroon," &c. Beautifully illus.
trated by Original Engravings by ~ Orr New
York; R. NJ. De Witt, $50 and l62 Nassau
street.
We have much pleasure in recommending to
our readers the latest production of Capt. Mayne
Reid, bearing the above title We have read it
with avidity, as we always do the works of this
author, and must say that we have peculiar rel
ish for these half-wld half civilized, half.hunter,
halfmilitary adventures, which the author relates
in style so peculiarly his own, and feel that it
is scarcely necessary to urge any argument in
their favor. Wayne Reid is so well known and
SO generally appreciated, that his books possess
the entree into every circle.
There is a charm pervading these books which
is to be found in few others-and it lies in that
off-hand, dashing style with which the author
carries his reader along with him, through all
sorts of perils, verging on the veiy brink of de-
struction but invariably, by some happy chance,
landing him safe on terra frn,a. In Mayne
Reds books the narration is so blended with the
action that we lose our identity, as it were, and
all our facilities absorbed by the scene before
us, until we feel If we ourselves were the par
Elephants in the fight or foray he is describing.
The g War Tall has been pronounced, by
good judges to be the best of the series, which
is no small praise when we refer to the encomi-
ums which the American press bestowed upon

hANzAs.-Ihe Cincinnati Gazette publishes
the following letter, dated Lawrence, June IL /:
" Gov. Walker continues at Lecompton :;
he is making preparations to visit every settle
ment in the territory and have talk with the
people. He mas ten thousand copies of his
inaugural address printed, to scatter broadcast
among the squatters. He expects to revolu-
tonne the public sentiment and unite the
people on Democratic grounds. and have them
SINK the question offreedom or slavery for the
present.
The plan now is, to make this free Dem
oeratlc IT not slave State but Gov. Walk
er has yet to learn that a large majority of the
tree State men of Kauzas are Republicans.
Inc marshals appointed by Gov. Robinson
10 take the census of Kanzas, have been quail
med and entered upon the discharge of their
duties. They are to make thorough work,
and correct return will be made from every
quarter of the State. The Governor appoints
hve marshals, and they are authorized to APP
POINT deputies, viz. : William Phillips. Cen
tral kanzas; Rev. Daniel Foster, Southeast
ern Mr.. Jameson, Northeastern Mr.. Har-
yey, Southwestern and Mr.. Kaiga, North
western portion of State.
The census and superintendent for repre-
sentatlon in the General Assembly will be Ia
ken and made by townships. The failure Of
WAY ANPSNo Legislature TO organize cOunUeS,
rendered 1t necessary. This is an important
movement. and as the recent election will test
the strength of the pro slavery faction, the Au-
gust election will show what the free State
party can do.
The public sale of government land still
continues at Iowa Point, with but little ex-
element.
The question of title to the land upon which
Lawrenceis built, remains undecided 1t has
been in the land office at Lecompton for some
time, and is now postponed until after the
public lnnd sales. The adverse claimants to
the Lawrence site are prosecuting their claims
with vigor, and some time must elapse before
1t can be settled proving very serious inju-
~ to the town,retarding its progress for long
time TO come.
Speculation in town property in KanZas is
not SO brisk as it was few months since
The Immigration is not so large, and moneyis
invested inethe purchase Of farm claims from
government. Gold is worth from forty to fifty
per cent. interest, or five per cent a month. l
would urge upon every one intending to make
settlement in this territory, to bring or send
by express gold instead of paper money into
kanzas. The hard currency is rather scarce
just now, and that is needed to pay Uncle
Sam for land. One hundred and sixty acre
land warrants are saeable at about one dollar
per acre /; forty, eighty, and one hundred and
twenty acre land warrants are not so desira-

stated that the Collector has promptly sus-
