in this instance, has been attained. Sena-
tor Douglas differs. He contends for the
enforcement of the principle of popular
sovereignty in its fullest sense. He pushes
the principle farther than we do. We deep
ly regret his determination in this matter !;
not so much that we have been brought to dis
trust his fidelity, as that his position may
be embarrassing to the Administration, and
may lead to serious disturbance in the
Democratic party. tits not impossible that
he is meditating desertion that he is in
fuenced by other considerations than
rigid regard for the great principle of pop
ular sovereignty. If SO. we ask in sorrow,
aOho can be trusted But we have yet to
be convinced that the gallant Douglas is
traitor. We turn away from such suspi-
cion, as we would hush the whisperings of
a slanderer.

FIENDIsH AFFAIR---A Lady Burnt to
Death.-Sunday afternoon brutal muir
der was perpetrated upon the body Mrs.
Hall, wife Of Basil Hall, living in Alexan
der county, Va, between five and six miles
from Washington. 1t appears that whilst
Mr. Hall was temporarily absent from his
house, and other white members of the
family were attending church, slave wo-
man named Jenny, the property of Mr..
Hall, put lot of dry plank on the fire.
Mrs. Hall ordered her to take it off. The
negroes obeyed the command, but soon
threw the wood on again. Mrs. Hall then
repeated her orders when the vile wretch
seized her mistress, pressed down her head
and backed her into the fire. Three or
four times did the unfortunate woman break
loose from her fendish assailant, but was
as often overpowered. and Mrs. Hall was
finally forced on the fire. On the last oc-
casion the screams of Mrs. Hall brought
her husband and others to her rescue, but
she died at midnight. 1t was with difficult
ty that Mr.. Hall was restrained from shoot
ing the wretch. She was conveyed to
prison. The testimony from the lips of
the dying woman is very intelligent and
conclusive. Medical aid was quickly sent
for, and no pains were spared TO alleviate
the suffering of the unfortunate Mrs. II. be-
fore she died.
