THE GRAVE OF HENRY CLAY-The editor
of the Fort Wayne Times has been on jour

dovotions to the grave Of Henry Clay. In
the cemetry, not far from Lexington, he
searched for i. first among those covered with
entabulatured slabs. obelisks, pyramids and
imposing moDuments-but the name was
found on none of these. He sought it among
less imposing tablcts-but found it not

THE QUICKEST RAILROAD TRAIN IN AMER1-
cA.-The Michigan Central Railroad Compa-
ny are now running lightning train from
Chicago to Detroit daily upon their single
track, which for speed and regularity. is uu-
equalled on any road in America The train
leaves Chicago at 6 A. NJ, makes ten stops,
and reaches Detroit at 3 o'clock, P. NJ, ma
king that place in nine hours from Chicago,
including stops, distance of 282 niles
The first day on which this train came thro'
the 25th of May, it arrived at the Detroit
depot on time, to the very minute, and since
then has been promptly up to time each day.
! This is quicker time by some two or three
miles an hour. than is is made upon either the
New York Central or the Hudson River
Roads, both of which have double track.
Under this state of facts the people of Mich
igan may well point with pride and satisfac-
tion to the Michigan Central Railroad as one
of the best roads in the United States.
REPORTED HOMICIDE BY A Son OF HENRY
CLAY.-HIs FLIGHT AND CoNcEAtMENT.-
The Cincinnati Commercial of Saturday con-
tains report that a quarrel took place on
Thursday, at Lexington. Kentucky, between
John Clay, Esq, son of the departed states
man, and horse trainer named Edgar
High words passed between the parties, and
led finally to personal encounter, when Clay
drew revolver and fred twice at Edgar
One ball entered his mouth, and passed out
behind the ear Another ball lodged in the
back. Edgar is reported mortally wounded
and is, perhaps, dead before this time. Clay
Immediately left Lexington, and has not been
heard from since. The parties have not been
on amicable terms for some time. John, we
believe, is the youngest surviving son of Hen
~ Clay. Of his elder brothers, one-Hen.
ry Clay, Jr, was killed at the battle of Blu.
ena Vista; and another, James B. Clay, i.
now Democratic candidate for Congress.

The National Hotel Disease.

Some newspapers, At q distance from Washing
ton, discredt the theory which attributes the Ma
tional Hotel disease to foul sewerage, and hint
significantly at great crime. One of these jour-
mails asserts that seven hundred persons were
affected by the malign influence, and that no less
than thirty or forty have died. A Cincinnati free
soil journal rot only assumes that the mysterious
malsdy was the result of Wholesale poisoning, but
that the object was to kill off Mr.. Buchanan, and
that the perpetrators were probably of the "ser-
vile class" In Washington, who had been led to
believe that in the event of Fremont's election
they would be emancipated and who adopted this
means of getting rid of Mr.. Buchanan. These
Free Sellers have lively imagiuations, aud an
inve.erate proclivity to lead the objects of their
philanthropy into scrapes and then lay the
blame on their shoulders. If such q stupeudous
crime ever occurred that to which these appall-
ing rumors refer, it never originated in the simple
brain of a negro. 1t is much more likely to have
been the conception of some fanatical Fremonter,
whose crazy ima gination had been worked up to
the idea that killing "pro slavery President"
would be doing God service

CHARLOTTESVILLE, April Both, 1857.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, April 10th, 1857.
The trial of the Mannoni's for shooting two
Young men at the University has just come Off
The facts elected from the trial these viz that
Maunoni kept confectionery store at the Univer-
sity and that on the same night that the scrape
took place, . young man bad had some words with
the Mar nonis and had left thestore threatening to
return with some friends aud thrash him, but had
concluded to let the matter drop The two young
men who were shot, having been to their Society,
came by the store at about o'clock on their re-
turn, to obtain some refreshments, and upon knock.
ing ut their door, gun was fred from the premises,
wounding the young meD, but quite slightly. The
Mannoni's were committed for further trial at the
next term Lewis Mannoni, the one accused OF
firing the gun, is said to be very courageous man,
having left here for the purpose of engaging il
the Crmean War and served the whole time be-
fore Sebastopol and was engaged in all the grea;
battles fought there
There is very little news stirring here, except
that . few enterprisng young gentlemen are try
ing to organize a Volunteer Company here.
hope they msy succeed, for we have ample mate
rial for such corps, and one fine at that. There
Is not much talk here about politics, except some
on the reorganization of the Militia Laws. Some
persons think the necessity of some change on the
subject ought to be made an issue at the ap'
preaching elections and / am half way OF thai
opinion myself and we hope the next Legislature
will take the matter in hand and afford some pro-
lection to our Volunteers.
We are now erecting Gasworks for the town
and little city is going ahead quite rapidly, foI
several fine residences have been built during the
past year, and the Monticello Bank and Insurance
Company are about to erect fine building foI
their cojort use. Adieu for while.

Prospect OF a Police Collision.

The n Y Evening Post, which advocates the
Police Commission organized by the Black Repub-
lIcan legislature for the government of New YORK.
says that that Commission will probably go on and
seect such police force as oiu, in e'r judgment,
suffice to pressrce the peace of the city-tAe la" DOS
not limit them in numb:rs-and the first thing Ma
yor Wood and his usurping auxiliaries will know
they will find the city in the hands of new set
of guardians" Ga the other hand, Mayor Wood
will clap the Black Republican Commission in the
Tombs if they undertake any such nonsense And
the N. Y. News says the Mayors stars would
make very short work of the pips-layers forces
We should be glad to see the Black Republican
trying the experiment. Nothing will ever make
these gentry open to reason but trial OF physical
force in their own streets.

MISS DEvLIN.-The writer Of the brief notice

young lady of talents and of most modest de-.
IN esnor. She always acquits herself well, and al.
ways enters upon the task before her in the mimic
life of the stag. with readiness and . cheerful.
ness and energy that does her great credit. The
position she sustains throws upon her an amount
OF study and effort that can hardly be appreciated
by the audience which is nightly entertained at
the theatre. The manner in which she fills her
position, entities her alike to the thanks and APP
pause of the play goers. When we write. we
cannot know what sort of benefit she has had,
but hope it was good one.
