Unfortunately he went down on the hose,

The GREAT CoNFEDERAcY.-At the
meeting Of the next Congress two new
States will be in readiness for admission
into The Uniou-Minnessota and Oregon.
The progress thus far fully warrants the
Expectation. The constitution of Min
nessota prohibits slavery. What posi-
tion Oregon will take on the same SUBJ
ieCt is as yet uncertain. In effect, how
ever, Oregon is and will continue 10 be a
free State. These will increase the
members of the confederacy to thirty.
three, without counting Kansas, whose
admission in some shape now seems i'm
minent. The Constitutional Convention
Of Kansas will meet again in few days,
resume and conclude its labors, and the
constitution thus framed will either be
submitted to popular vote or sent to
Congress without such endorsements
AT the approaching session of Congress,
therefore, the Union will be materially
increased in members. Steps will also,
no doubt, be taken to organize the new
territories of Arizonia, Decotah and Car
son, thus raising the number Of territories
to the same total as at present.

TRIAL OF JONES, THE MURDERER OF
BEEBE.-The Common Pleas Court, OF
Franklin CO., Judge Bates commenced the
trial on Friday, Of Nebraska Bill" for
the murder in 1854, Of officer Beebe in
Columbus.
The judge decided that the warrant of
the constable of Licking county, whence
the prisoner had fled, and used in Frank.
lin county was imperfect, illegal and void,
tand an officer with such, was no more
than private citizen, The result of the
trial, will no doubt reduce the offence
from murder in the first degree, to man.
slaughter. If the prisoner be put in the
Penitentiary, the Warden must soon look
out Tor an escape, as the incidents of his
eventful life, too well establish. Officer
Wylie and Mr.. Humphrey, of Newark,
testify that they saw defendant shoot Bee
be about daylight, on the morning of the
7th of April, 1854, while party consis-
Ting of Dennis, Wylie, Bingham and
Humphrey, and officer Beebe, and Sher-
if Bell of Columbus, were attempting to
arrest him at the Scioto House, near the
Canal in the suburbs of this city. Their
accounts do not differ much except in the
number Of shots fired. The killing by
the defendant both saw. The prisoner
then escaped and only recently was cap

TERRIBLE-.lF TRUE.--A Florida paper
Of the 18th ult. says that a gentleman
residing at Altapulgus, Georgia, recent
,ly received large sum of money. He
was, soon afterwards, obliged to leave
home on business, and on the evening of
his departure, two negroes came to the
house and demanded of his wife TO be
shown where the money was, under pen
atty Of de&h. She complied, and they
then demanded some supper, which the
lady furnished them, putting however, a
quantity Of strychnine into their coffee.
In few minutes they were both dead
when it was ascerained that they were

guise, who had been aware Of her hus-
band having received the money as before
