WHAT WOULD HAVE BECOME OF THE BARrs
tits supposed that if she had been only per-
mittcd to enjoy the imaginary success of her
plot for twelve hours, the baby would not have
been particularly long-lived, she would have ex-
hibited it to a sufficient number of witnesses
and then have'quietly disposed of it AS heir
to the baby all the property would then have
REQUIRED to her. AsitiS, the poor little thing
had pretty narrow escape of its life, notwith-
standing the completeness of the arrangements;
for, when it was being taken from her, she
squeezed it to her breast so afFectionately, that
if two officers had not taken hold of her arms,
the Burdell heir would have been killed with
kindness In that event, nice question would
have arisen whether the District Attorney and
the other counterplotterS had not been accesso-
ries to the childs death, md were not exposed
to an indictment for infanticide. As it is, how
over, Miss Elizabeth Anne Anderson (for that is
the child's namc,) is safe and snug in the ma
ternal bosom.

A DREADFUL SLAUGHTER AMONG THE CAFFREs.-
One Of the London papers contains an account of
terrible slaughter among the Cafres, in which no less
than thirty thousand human beings perished. 1t is
stated that disturbances of most sangunary char
acter recently took place among the Zulus. These
disturbances caused by contest between Ketch
wya and Umbulazi, two sons of the paramount chief
Panda. On the I'd of December the latter was de-
feated with immense slaughter. The victorious Ketch-
wya lad of nineteen, after the battle divided his
army into three sections and with these secured the
country in all directions putting to death not only his
enemies but all neutral doubtful subjects who came
in his way He, however, kept clear of Panda, who,
by the latest intelligence, was raising army in de-
ense Of his throne. 1t is said that men, and
children were all alike put to death. Umbulazi was
put to death with the utmost barbarty, having been
skinned alive.

How NEW GRANADA WILL BE DEALT WITH
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Courier and Enquirer says:
1t certainly would be interesting to know exactly
what Messrs. Morse and Bown have reported to their
Government respecting their mission to Bdsota |
have not been able to learn definitely the purport of
the last dispatches, but have reason to believe that
the resident and special Minister do not regard their
mission as closed 1t is supposed that naval force of
at least two hundred and fifty guns will be before
Panama in July next, and squadron Of sufficient
strength will proceed, about the same time to the
harbor of Aspinwall. On the completion of prepala-
tlons, of which these naval movements will be a part
a final demand will be made upon the Granadian
Government for satisfaction for the massacre and rob-
berry of American citizens last spring. If not ac.
corded Panama and Aspinwall will be occupied, and
as many of the criminals can be caught will be
punished. A course of proceeding equivalent to this
was resolved upon by the Administration in Novem-
ber last, as limited at the time. The only mistake
hitherto made, has been that it was not rapidly and
sternly executed Immediately after Mr. Corwin's re.
port.
In some quarters is confidently predicted that the
incoming Administration, which will soon take the
rens of government will entertain views quite diff
terent from those of the one now in power and that
the demands of the United States will be complied
with.

The RECENT RAIN STORM IN ALABAMA.-In the
AIah Tr Of ,,da fro tho

THE RECENT RAIN STORM IN ALABAMA-1n the
Mobile Tribune of Sunday we fine the following:
We learn from several persons residing at Toulmin-
vile and Cottage H that the rain storm of Thurs
day night washed the roads to such extent that it
is almost impossiblity to travel them, and that all
the bridges round the vicinity of each place, with
or two exceptions, have been swept completely away.
Throughout the country, also, the rain came down
with such fury that it washed in the earth to
the depth of six and eight feet. l4
The quantity of rain that fell in this city from 6
o'clock, P. NJ OH Friday evening to o'clock A. NJ,
yesterday morning was 3 and $40 inches, and it is
certain that double the quantity fell from the same
time Thursday evening last to Friday morning.
The rim was as heavy in Baldwin county as it was
here. The streams were all swollen largely, and
bridges in all parts of the low lands were swept
away.
We have heard rumors of loss of life both in Bald
win and Mobile county, but have been unable to trace
them to any reliable source.

JUST LIBERALITY.-It will be remembered an old
circus man, named Harry Turner died some time ago,
leaving 100000 to Levi North his partner in great
circus establishment and did not leave any to his own
sisters and brother They attempted to contest the
will, but gave up. Since then says the New York
Evening Register, Levi North has given to each of
the sisters check of s. 900; to the brother Aaron
Turner, $40 900, and has given him the half interest
in his circus which Harry Turner formerly held. He
has also given to Gen. Sandord the counsel of the
brother and sisters, So 900.

old Widow Hardwood in Brandford, Virginia, by
descending a chimney. He stuck fast midway, how
ever, in the chimney, and the old widow heard him.
She heaped straw in the fireplace and lighted it,
The robber, half suhocated, roared. Persons were
collected by his cries he drawn up with ropes
to the top the chimney, more dead than alive, and
sent to the mercies of the law.

STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION.
This is an important Office and should be filled by
sensible and practical man. 1t has never yet been
filled as it ought to be filled and until it is so filled
we need expect little nothing from the incumbent
of it, except paying his expenses. The Superinten.
dent should understand alike the theory and practice
of the common school system, and should possess
sense enough to enable him to apply both to the best
advantage. Mr. J. Bryson Burrows late one of the
editors of the Thibodaux Minerva, has been favoraby
mentioned in connection with this office. From all
we learn he is well calculated to discharge the
duties thereof with distinguished ability and success
Speaking of Mr. b. the Minerva of last Saturday, has
the following observations, which we append with
pleasure:
Such, in few words is the position of our late rs
soCiate-a position which has much at heart the ad
vancement of American principles, with the promo
ton and development Of educational interest in our
State. We strongly press the claims of Mr.. Burrows
because we know him to be by experience and search
ing investigation admirably fitted for the station, and
because we believe the spirit OF the school law to
manfestly imply the selection of practical teacher
for State Superintendent. Not one who did teach a
few years ago, when school teachers had made little
or no advancement, but one who is noW teaching ant
has a knowledge of the Cart as modernzed ant
improved.

RAIN IN MIssIssIPPI.-The Vicksburg Wing of the

We were visited about o'clock last evening with
of the heaviest rains have had in many weeks
Our planting friends were, We learn, needing rain
very much to bring up late paintings of cotton but
We fear they have had too much of good thing. The
chances that the heavy rain that fell last evening
will do more harm than good. Besides washing the
newly ploughed ground badly, the earth will be apt to
bake and thus instead Of beneftting, crops will
be damaged by it. s.s

MONUMENT TO SLAvE--When Howard College,
Alabama was destroyed by fire in October, 1854, a
faithful slave named Harry, belonging to Fl. Talbird.
President of the College, lost his life in arousing the
students to get them out of the burning building He
ran from room to room, awaking the young men, and,
remaining too long, he was enyeloped in the flames
and burned to death. The students have recently
erected to his memory marble monument ten feet
high, bearing an appropriate eptaph.

STEAMBOAT COLLISION AND Loss OF LIFE.-The
Memphis Appeal gives the following account of the
collision on the 2Gth ut, by which the steamer Julia
Dean was sunk and several lives lost:
In consequence of some mistake in sgnalizng the
steamers Ranbow and Julia Dean came in collision
on Sunday morning, about daylight, at Slim Island,
just above uniontown, KY, which resulted in the
sinking. OF the latter and the drowning of six men.
The Rainbow was ascending and the Julia Dean des-
cending at the time of the collision The former boat
was unnJured. The Julia Dean was bound from
Louisville to the Wabash river, and had on heavy
load OF freight but few passengers. Her cabin parted
from the null and dritted ashore. We did not learn
the names OF those drowned hut understood they be-
onged to the These are all the particulars we
could obtain.
The Julia Dean was stern wheel boat, about seven
years old, and was really worn out She was prnci-
pasly owned by Capt. Harvey Cummings, and was

DANGEROUS EXPERIMENTAL singular accident
happened few days ago to a train the Housatonic
Railroad near Fall Village, Vt, which is thus des-
crbed by paper published in that place: s--
The rain it appears, had oceasioned food in that
locality, and washed away small Salvert at the spot
where the catastrophe occurred The superstructure
and rails; however remained. The engineer (Mr-
sterling discovered that the track had settled and
concluded at once that the ground and stone-work
had been washed away, and comprehended the dan
ger-but it was too late to stop the train. Quck as
thought he saw it would not do to make an attempt
to stop, and the only chance to save his engine from
destruction, and himself, his tremen and Others from
injury perhaps sudden DEATH was to jump " the
breach. In an instant he let on all his steam. On
the engine bounded at her utmost speed and over she
went quick as lightning, clear and clean, with the
tender; but the baggage and forward passenger car
settled into the gap and turned partly over, and
brought the whole train to stand. The shock was
terrible. The engine turned around square across
the track the tender was pitched down an embank-
ment and the other deposited here and there in
the most irregular positions but strange to say not
person had bone broken or joint dislocated-al
escaped almost without bruise or scratch, and but
little damage was done to the engine or cars.

CANDIDATE FOR CoNGREss.-We place this day at
our masthead the name of Charles D. DreuX, Esq,
our first choice candidate to represent the Second
Congressional District In doing this we believe that
we but reecho the universal sentiments of this COM
munity. Mr.. Dreux enjoysa very envable reputation
throughout the State During the last two campaigns
his voice heard in almost every parish calling the
freemen to duty. Himself not a candidate, he has
nevertheless devoted all his energies to the triumph of
the American cause. Such abnegation of self, at
time when personal good and selfadvancement seem
to be the chief motives OF mems actions, is refreshing
and cheering As mark of appreciation of his past
services, the nomination should be rendered him. On
the plea of availability, no deny the immense
Importance of securing eoquence and talent for the
prosecution of canvass when questions of such vast
Importance and great moment will be before the
people. In the fields of oratory, Mr.. Dreux stands
perhaps without an equal in this State-as apotcian
his actions have never departed from the paths of the
most unbending consistency. Talent and political
honesty is the first and only Recommendation of
Congressional candidate, both of which Mr.. Dreux
possesses in an eminent degree.
In the expression of OUR preference for Mr. DreuX,
we would not be understood having any disposition
to dsparage the pretensons of any other gentleman
whose name may come before the District Convention
for nomination. We thus particularly suggest the
name of Mr.. Dreux, because we believe him clearly
entitled to the nomination, and because of his pecu
liar fitness for the important position of Represen-
tative. [Franklin (St. Nary Journal 3Oth ut.
