A Son SHOT FATHER-The Memphis Ap-
peal, of the 2oth ult., says:
On Wednesday evening painful occurrence took
place at the residence of Mr.. Mitchell about three
miles from the city. Some words passed between Mr.
Mitchell and his son, young about twenty,three
years of age when the latter drew pistol and fired at
his father. Mr. NJ. thinking that his son had another
pistol fastened into the next room, got loaded gun
and shot him. The atteris in very precarious state
and little hope is entertained of his recovery.
Mr. Mitchell is a very respectable citizen and this sad
affair has caused much pain to friends and relatives
AN ENGLISH VIEW OF OUR New SECRETARY OF
STATE.-The London Times, of March 10TH has an
article on the rumored appointment of Gen. Cass as
Secretary of State, in which, after mentioning his
antecedents and explaining the reason of his selec-
ton, it observes:
Mr.. Buchanan will limit the application of the thco-
ry promulgated at Ostend, and Gen. Cass will dis
cover that the British Government, with which he
will at once enter into correspondence, is not
grasping, heartless despotism. At the age of Is
even the most fervid spirit is somewhat disposed to
tranquility and we can well imagine that, after hav-
ing made war speeches to two generations of his
countrymen, the new Secretary of State will settle
down into sufficiently peaceful and reasonable
of business.
