DISTRESSING We were panied to learn, by a
private letter received yesterday, of the terrible be-
reavement which has befallen our friend, Judge r.
X. Howell, of the Sixth District Court, and his
estimable lady. During the month of June, Mrs.
Howell with her two lovely little children left the
city to pass the summer with her mother and rela
tves in the Felicanas anticipating pleasure health
and happiness from such reunion. About the 1st
of July the Judge followed. An awful disease-the
fux-had broken out on the plantation of his wifes
mother. He found her, like true woman, caring
for and nursing the sick negroes which she had been
doing for several weeks, when her eldest son, most
promising boy was stricken down and died within
few days. While he was sick the mother was at
tackled, and while improving, her infant some four
months old, was also taken with the fell disorder,
died and was buried on the 4th inst. This was awful
enough, but it does not fill the of afction
sustained by our esteemed friend, Judge Howell. At
the date of the letter speak Of his wfes mother
was lying at the point Of death from the disease
that had nearly decimated her plantation and filed
| with sorrow and woe those she loved nearest and
| dearest.
The tale is sad one. Were possible to spread the
balm of consolation over terrible wounds would
be more anxious in the work than ourselves. But
such thing is impossible. Sympathy, no matter
how pure and well intended CRATES harshly upon the
heart of the bereaved and sore!y stricken. May Go
cherish them and time console them for their terrible
losseS

SHOOTING AFFAIR IN kANsAs.-d 'yH kno,rn CIT
i.cn of New Orleans Founded Leavenworth,
Kansas) Times, ,of July 25th, contains the following
account of the shooting of Mr.. H. Kennedy by Mr.
Daniel Sculy both of which gentlemen are well
known in New Orleans:
Our city readers need not be informed that H. Ken
nedy, Esq, was shot down Monday last by Daniel
SGully, and narrowly escaped instantaneous death.
The affair created no little excitement and various
reports were circulated concerning the cause which
instigated the preparation of the act. We publish
below letter from Mr.. Sculy, which we conceive to
be honorable to him and Just to Mr.. Kennedy. The
latter we glad to know is rapidly recovering from
his wound and we hope he can extend that forgive
ness to Mr.. Scuy which is merted by the frank and
manly confession made in the ensuing letter.
LEAvENwoRTH CITY, July %, 1857.
Sir: On Monday last, in highly excited state OF
mind made an assault upon you in the street which
resulted in the niiction of wound, both painful, as
am informed, and severe.
now address you, not with view of declaring
the act, in ITSELF improper one, under the state OF
feeling which then influenced me, but to say, in jus
tice to you, and to others and myself, that after
calm consideration of the subject, l am satisfied a
msapprehensOn Of facts and circumstances led me
to the attribution to you of unworthy designs, ant
caused the unfortunate difficulty.
To regret the injury have inflicted upon your per
SON. however much may feel that regret is vain
the act cannot be recalled. This frank confession Q
my error, however, will, hope remove from you
breast, as it does from mine, any sense of wounde
honor.
have the honorto be, very respectfully, your obj
dent servant,
