The Union quotes the Buffalo Republic to
show that the radical Democrats belonging to
the Republican party organization in New
York unanimously condemn the acts Of their
party in the late New York Legislature, as
being designed to build up fortunes for a band
of spectators, rather than to subserve the pub
lie INTEREST,"
The Union also rejoices over the fact that
Messrs. Henry O'Riely, John j. Speed and
John Rutherford have initiated an electric tele-
graph enterprise to connect the Mississippi val
ley with the Pacific side, which, il thinks, bids
fair soon TO be consummated.

BLOODY TRAGEDY IN TExAs.-We find the
following in the Dallas Herald Of the 29th ult:
alt becomes our duty to record one of the most
desperate and heart rending tragedies that have
ever been enacted in this region Of the country
John Robinson, living some four or five miles
from Birdville, Tarrant county, on Friday morn
ing Of last week, without previous provocation,
as we are informed, almost without an intima-
ton Of his fendish intentions, shot and killed
George and James Anderson, brothers OF his
wife, then attempted the life Of his wife and,
failing in that, proceeded deliberately to bis
neighbours, old man Sublett, distance Of nearly
two miles, and while the old man was begging
for mercy, shot him dead.
Returning to within short distance of his
home Robinson finished this horrid and unnatu-
raj tragedy by placing the muzze of his gun
against his own forehead, and pushing the trig.
ger with his ram-rod, put end to his own life
instantly. The whole affair occurred in less than
an hour.
'.Robinson previously had difficulty with his
wife, and had agreed to a separation Her bro
theirs were assisting to remove her things when
he shot them both with ri6e and a musket
Sometime ago Robinson committed a brutal as
sault upon old man Sublett, and was punished
with several months Imprisonment, which was
probable the cause Of his animOsty against that
individual

GREAT MUSICAL FEsrIvAL.-Iti is true that the
great wizard of the violin, Vieuxtemps is to give
concert here next Tuesday. We are pleased to
hear 1t, for among the many European musical
geninses none has greater name and fame both
as composer and musician, than Henri Vieux-
temps. He has won his way to the highest pin
nacle in musical science and art, and has stamped
his name indelibly on our musical era
He will be accompanied by another great per-
former, already known TO us-ThalbeT2 as re-
nowned on the piano as VieuxteInPs is upon the
violin.
Madame ID Angri, the renowned contralto, will
take part in the approaching concert, which pro-
misses 10 excite unusual interest
Rocco, the famous basso, will also ma ke his
reaPPeaFance here since his return from Europe
combination of such talent never appeared
together on one evening" either in this country or
perhaps in Europe.

OF the African slave trade is abhorent to me
will add that Gen. Walker has taken a very un-
warrantable liberty with me-a liberty incon-
sistent with the sense OF propriety which should
regulate intercourse between strangers-a liberty
expressly interdicted by my plain declaration.
that, its publication as letter addressed to me
must depend upon my concurrence in his views .

To the Editor Of the Enquirer. :.

MoRGANTowN, Va, July 10, 1857.
GENTLEMEN.-We have, for some time
past, noticed statement "going the
rounds" in nearly all the papers, that
Mr.. Loriaux has secured 5000 acres of
good land for some FIVE hundred French
Waldenses, in Monongalia county, Vir-
ginia, at the low price Of seventy five
cents per acre. This you may set down
as an abolition humbug. We have taken
the pains to enquire into this matter, and
find that Mr.. Lorriaux has purchased no
land in this county and we also know
that good lands cannot be purchased for
less than twenty-five or thirty dollars
per acre. This report has been started
by some Northern paper, and, strange to
say, nearly all the Southern papers have
credited the story. Having noticed it in
your issue of the 18th July. (semi- weekly
this statement is made to correct the err
ror. And we now challenge Mr.. Lorriaux,
his friends. or the Abolition presses, who
concocted the story. to furnish the least
evidence to support the SANDER on the
Old Commonwealth.
Yours, very truly,
EDWARD G. BUNKER.

man who supposed himself posted in all
sorts of sharp practice, was sitting, a day

good-looking stranger, who had also sat
reading paper near him for an hour,
finished his news.hunting, dropped the
paper, yawned and stretched himself, and
threw up his arms, and Strengthened out
his legs, and said to the DOCTOR by way
of an introduction, 'twe have some very

looked over his glasses. and surveying
the gentlemanly stranger as one would a

nounced him call right" and replied,
Eve had, indeed, but, after all, not quite
SO warm asin Washington, where he made
It his home" The gentlemanly stranger
stated he .swas from the South also, and
was happy to meet southerner;" he
"was here purchasing goods" he "had
about the city"-but his "maxim ever
was business first, pleasure afterwards"
Our friend, the NJ. D., was delighted to
find SO pleasant companion, and was
persuaded to walk up town with his new
friend, who had little bill to settle OF
seventy dollars, the closing POT his pur-
chases.
Our M. D. took the walk-and they
saunlered up Broadway but his polite
new acquaintance hardly knew anything
of the lions of the city-he had been SO
busy he could not find them out. Pres
emily they arrived somewhere near No.

were breaking their necks in looking uH
to read the signs, gentleman bobbed
out of one of the stores with his hat Off
"Ah, my dear sir" said the friend of or
NJ. D., was trying to End your place
will settle that little affair."" He pulled
out four twenties and handed the new
conner. This last genius could not make
the change; the friend of our M. D. was
perplexed; he turned his pockets inside
out, but had nothing but the four TWEEN
ties-he owed just seventy. Our M. D.
was appealed to to change twenty; he
had not change enough. Could he lend

ty in the meantime? Our NJ. D. could
not be SO small as to take the twenty,
but he lent the ten. The bill was paid;
they walked back. discussing New York
and its wonders, and on their arrival our
southern merchant asked the DIR. to just
look at the evening paper while he step
ped TO the Office TO get the twenty chang
ed. Our NJ. d. was seen reading the ey-
ening paper several hours after that, but
the southern merchant had not brought
the change. IN. D." was the next day
