SIGNIFIoANT.-We have before had occasion to
speak Of the position occupied by some of the
members of Congress from this State. We re-
ceived, yesterday, under Congressional frank,
the speech Of Hon. Timothy Davis of this State,
on the Fishing Bounties. Attached to the pam
phlet. and printed on the last leaf Of it, is cir
eulsr signed by Humphrey Marshall and others,
the executive committee of the National K,aoaO
, Nothings; recommending the /" American organ
to the " American" party, in every section Of
the confederacy," as the authoritative exponent
and advocate of the principles of the American
party" The " American organ" is one of the
most thoroughly hunkerish and pro-slavery pa
ers in the Union, owned and edited by the Mis-
sippi fre.eatef, Yespasian Ellis. This attach
ment Of the circular to the speech, is virtual en-
dorsement of the paper, by Mr.. Davis. Those
Republicans who permitted themselves to be
drawn into the support Of Mr.. Davis, have
chance, therefore, see the position in which he
has placed them. We have, every day, renewed
cause to be thankful that the Republicans Of this
District were true to their principles, and pursued
the straight and honest course"

SEDUCTION AND MURDER IN KENTUCKY
During the early part of our circuit court, a
Mrs, Emo and her husband formerly Of Bards-
town, now living in or near New Haveu)
made complaint that she had been seduced by
means of chloroform, &C., by Robert Ford ;
that she had become encteate by him; and
that he had endeayored to produce abortion.
Finding it not probable under all the circum-
stances, that she could get any satisfaction at
law, she determined to get satisfaction some
other way. On Wednesday last, while Ford
was in store at New Haven, making some
purchases, Mrs. Emo entered, drew pistol,
fired, and shot him through the body. lie
died next day. Mrs. Emo wcs arrested, and
is now in the hands Of the officers of the law.

On Saturday morning gentleman and
his wife took seats together IN the Northern
cars at Washington, hut the gentleman was
Obliged to leave for moment to look after his
baggage. On his return he found the Hon.
Albert Rust of Arkansas, sitting in his seat,
to whom he explained the fact, and that it was
ms wife who occupied the place beside him.
MI Rust refused to leave. The gentleman
persisted urgently in claiming his seat, when
the honorable member rose, and drew his
bowie knife. A fight seemed inevitable, but
the general feeling manifested itself so strong
ly against Rust that he put up his knife and
agreed to leave his seat if permitted to retire
with the honors of war. The lady was 80
frightened that she was barely saved from
tainting. Rust left the cars at the Relay
House, and went West. Ho is the man who
beat Horace Greeley.
There is now living in Murray coun-
ty, on the waters of Holly Creek, rovolu-
tionary veteran who has attained the age of
one hundred and thirty years. His name is
John Hanes.
