someunpleasant rnmOrs respecting certainrepu-

character: That republican leaders applied 70

MYSTERY oethe e,radeIock Murder.

No event in this city for years has created so
much interest and excitement as the arrest OF
the parties, whose names we have published, for
the assassination oil the notorious Craddock.-
We hear Of it in private circles and in public
places 1t is theme Of conversation and COM
ment. 1t absorbs all minor subject. Nor is it
confined to the city. The citizens of the coun.
try and adjoining counties, where the accused
are known are deeply excited by it,
The affair." from its origin thus far in progres
sion, parallels Il romance cunningly fixed by a
master novelist. 1t may well transfx the pubS
lie mind.
Craddock was a man of wealth. For many
years he was regarded with suspicion and fear
as a bold bad man. 1t was charged that he was
the associate if not the confederate, OF thieves
with counterfeting and slave stealing. In truth
there were few crimes not charged on Paschal
u. Craddock. He was various times indicted
FIR acts of vilainy and guilty or not, he by sons
means escaped punishment. AT the time OF his
murder felony indictments were pending against
him in the Jefferson Court,
His neghbers in Jefferson county, finally
aroused to a sense of their wrongs by depreda,,
tions with which he was charged. in a public
meeting on February 25th, 1866, declared that
he and others at their peril remain in the coun-
try Six months were given him to arrange
his affairs and remove. With characteristic
boldness he dsregarde ed the warning. The six
months ended on the 25th of August the night
of (which, his defiance paid the penalty of his
DEATH He was assassinated. The mystery
that surrounds the horrid Decd which ushered
a soul 50 unprepared into his Makers presencA
| is vet to be unveiled. Untiring efforts have
been made to discover the perpetrators Of the
crime. Keen lawyers and ynx-eyed detective
officers, and all the appliances that money com
lnanls have been employed but all in valn.--
Persons baye been arrested only to be discharged
or acquitted. The murder is still a mystery
Now we have nine or more persons implicated
by Miller, who confessed himself party to thu
deed.
Most ofthe accused, as we have remarked
are wealthy, or in good circumstances
Some OF them occupy high social position, ane
one, Col. Allen, is proved and gallant soldier
distinguished alike for his high sense Of homo
and his dauntess courage. The charge enlan
ates from man (NIiller) who. bears no enyiabl
name Yet there is said to be corroberatiye et
iience in possession ofthe commonwealth Attor
ney. What this testimony is will not OF cours
be known until the investigation which vii
take place in a day or two. There are man
runors and reports as to what will be develop
ed at that time, nearly all of which are altogeth
er unreliable That alone will put suspense a
rest, and determine the innocence or guilt Of tn
accused Popular sentiment is very certainly
in favor Of their innocence, but that is not law.
Col Allen arrived here on Thursday evening
and delivered himself into eustody.-Lomsst

Hard EssaRa.

The black republican papers, and among
them, the Steubenyille Herald in particular are
very anxious that the administration should
maintain the action ofthe Kansas Convention,
and the argus eye ofthe HaaM has discovered
in the following paragraph eoactesioe evidence o
.'The position Of The characterization" Here it is:
THE PosrrfoN or THE ADMINISTRATION.
We clip the following paragraph from the
columns ofthc Ohio Statesmen of last Tuesday
1t is from the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore SIN. He says:
Who shall settle this new and serious Difficult.
ty? The administration will, it is said, main,
tain the action of the convention. But it is
1,ao1e Ehely they will leave the matter to the
judgement Of Congress. Gov. Walker, it is
said, fully concurs with the convention. He is
expected here in day or two, as the resigna-
ton OF Mr.. Stanton does not take effect, till ths
21st Dec Mr.. Stanton will till that day act as
Governor, during the absence Of Gov. Walker

The Rebel. of Utah.

brigham Young has crossed the RubicOn, and
Mormon Utah now stands ia the frsnzied atti-
tuie Of open rebellion to the authority of these
United States. Not satisfied with legal impu
nifty 6r the licentious practices himself and his
associates enjoy under territorial government,
the arch knaye who wields the power Of the
Mormon sect has dared to throw down the
gauntlet to this powerful government and abide
the stern abitramsnt Of the sword. When the
story of the first overt act-the destruction o.
our military wagon trains-reached us, we were
incredulous, because we believed that madness
and aulacity could not be carried to such an
extent. But We had under-estimatel the ar
rOgance and insanity of Brigham Young even
though familiar with his yaporing tone through
the columns ofthe papers in which his speeches
are reported verbatim. But it seems that he
feels 50 strong in his power and position. so con-
fident in the difficulties of campaign in the
remote fastnesses in which he has pitched his
tent that hs really believes in the ability o.
himself and his fanatical horde to make head
against the military power of this government.
! He probably Eaneies that check experienced
by the small force sent out III the first instance
against him will prevent the United States
from making any further efforts to disturb him
in his filthy den But if so, he very much
misapprehends the policy, the spirit aud the
strength Of the American government. f
How Ear the spirit of dlsaiIection to secular
and priestly tyranny has spread among this
strange people, it is impossible for US, at this
distance, to judge, AMI statements vary very ma
terially in this respect. S,mg accounts repre-
sent large numbers as having their eyes opened
to the dcceptions of the successor of the pro.
phet Joe, Others represent the mass of them as
firm in the faith, and satisfied with the admins
tration of affairs. 1t is pretty certain, however
that the die once cast, and the CRIME of rebel
| lion committed, there are enough fighting men
| in the valley to nuke serious work for oul
troops. But that the struggle will be pro
tracted one, we cannot think for a moment. =
The United States government never took {
step backward in military campaign. If witt
a handful of men we marched into the heart o
Mexico and conquered it, we can with an ade
4 quatc force march into the heart of Utah, ant
crush its rebels with the armed hand, Victo
ries achieved over English, Mexican and savage
warriors give Us assurance OF speedy success
over all internal enemies And unless Brig
ham Young makes speedy submission to tho
Federal power, he will bitterly rue the day
when he raised the standard Of revolt r

India.

Late adviceS have confirmed the Gall Of Delhi
so long held by the maddenOd SepOys against
the British troops. Il is aia that over ten
thousand natives were slaughtered. The Brit
ish Will hardly gain much BY its overthrow; it is
but one link in the long chain Of victories they
willhaye to gain ere the rebellion IS quenched.
There iSyet no prospect Of staying the hOrrid
bdtcheries, anil revolving crimes that have char
acterized this terrible instruction.
When Delhi fell, the prisoners were treated
most brulally by the British, who almost rivalled
the Indians in cruelty,-xohen were bayonet-
ted the brains of children were knocked cut, and
long strings of men tied to the heavy cannon,
aud their bodies bolca 10 pieces! We can imag-
inc nothing that can possibly justify such acts,
by the minions of nation who boast 50 much Of
their Christianity and Civilization True, moth
ing can equal the atrocities practieed by the ma
tives against their oppressOrs; but yet, we
should remember they are barbarcuS, unciyil-
lied, and unenlightened and reused as they are
to such apitch ofnadnesS, what more could we
expect. An American cannot easily see what
right England has to India-what right
she has to enslave two hundred millions of the
inhabitants What have the natives done?-
Nothing more than attempting TO throw off the
CALLING yoke of Great Britain, and endeavorins
to make themselves free. like ,os did in orr rev.
oldtion. Although they gave bridle to their
passions, killed and shame(ulI,y maltreated all
who ,kere not with them; yet is this any rea-
son why civilized troops should follow their
horrd example. Could they not be sati6ed
with taking the lives of the Sepoys, without
blowing their bodies to pieces after they were
desd; and crowning all-their presses boast Of it
with indecent zest. In the face of these in.
iquities, England calls upon the sympathy of A
mericans, as she always does when carrying on
her annexation schemes, But we feel assured
that the good wishes of our people will not
thus be thrown away.
Irthe rebellion is quellcd, we hope it will
teach the Fast India Company lesson-in flu
ture to treat the natives better. But no one
yet knows what will be the issue Of this bloody
contest. The most barbarous acts of cruelty
are committed on both sides, and it seems as
though we were returning back to the days o.
Nero or Tib erius.

Mexico.

Tho distracted condition of this unhappy
country is truly deplorable. One would almost
think that misfortune and calamity have found
permanent resting place in Mexico, ever since
twas over run by the conquering arms Of Spain.
Nearly every form and shape Of government has
been tried upon her. She has been kingdom,
province, an empire, republic, and it has
been ruled by a dictator; but all have severally
failed in rendering the people happy.
The news from Vera Cruz to the 7th ult,, are
highly important, Congress had suspended the
guarantees Of the Constitution, and invested
President Comonlorth with supreme or dictate
rial power, and the Republic may, for the pre-. :
ent at least, be considered at an end. Serious
difficulties had occurred between the Spaniards
and Mexicans in Cuernavaca, and martial law
hal been proclaimed in that district in conse-
quence. News say the whole of Yu'atan is in
arms The Indians are ravaging the Northern
Provinces fearlully, several towns were sacked
and the inhabitants treated with peculiar afro
city; and the people of the Eastern District:
were flying from the savages in all directions.
The General government is altogether incapa'
bic ofaffording them any assistance or protec
lection, beset as 1t is on every side by rebellion
and revolt.
And to add to her already almost hopeless
condition, the rumor ola Spanish invasion il
confirmed. Preparations for defence were go
ing on at Vera Cruz, ComontortI, in spite o
England and France, will not recede from th,
stand he has taken; and will not recall the Depu
ty that he has sent to Matrd for negotiation
Notwithstanding the Spanish government has
demanded his recall. 1t is reported that there
will be four millions Of dollars left in the pub
lie Golfers at lIayanna after the expedition
has been equipped, and preparations for th'
invasion are going on extensively at that port
1t is thought By the on dts that Condha viii
man, they say, who can prevent local insur
rection, when the troops are away. Spain fl
yors Santa Anna; and there is considerable feel
ing against Comontorth in Mexico.
| There are stirring times ahead; Mexico, diyi
ded as she is, into numerous small factions, will
hardly be able to withstand the expected inya
sion, backed as Spain is by Franceand England
but perhaps their common danger will have
consolidating effect, and they will make bet
ter stand than is expected. Our government
should watch these proceedings with no unin
terestcd eye, for what is gilmore interest to thu
United States than the relative position Of Mex
co with Europe.
LATER--Sincc the above, we have three week
later news. Sisal was bombarded and capture
by the revolutionists. Campeachy still held ou
but was totally besieged by the government
troops.
