WHATS THE USE?

What is the use of men, with human hearts and
hopes-with q common God and common destiny,
taking the useless pnins, in this late day Of pro-
gress, to deny that they are abolitionists that
they would break the chain that galls-that they
would stay the lash that tears the flesh in agony
and blood We say, what is the use of turning
your back on Coo AID Humanity, and denying
your manhood, aud all the better impulses of your
nature, tor the sake of conciliating the Democrat
ic slave power and fail even then What do you
gain ? The South calls the slightest possible op.
position TO it's EXTREMIST demands, abolitionism.
Ii makes no distinctions, However much you
may disrlaim, you will rave the, name. In Gods
name, why not be men, since it costs no more
than to he toadies? But some Of our poor Re.
publicans seem to think the term abolitioDist the
most narrowing and disgrsceful Of all known cpl.
thets. They will sit up nights to swear that it is
slandcrous and false. Call them thieves, murder
ers and iornicators. but don't add 'abolitionists !
We are sick OF this stupid conservatism. If you
are not an abolitiOnist whstsare you rsuting about
slavery for? And even it you are such a selfish
aud goddess brute as not to be one, who asks you
to take such everlasting pains to affirm thst you
are not, and what have you gained but the con
tempt Of all good men after you have SO affirmed ?
We do not want any body to say that no members
of the Republican party are sbolitionists. We are
that il, we think as follows-thst man cannot hold
property in man. that oil men are crested equal,
and that 'all things whatsoever ye would that men
should do unto you, do ye even 50 unto them

striking than in the scenes which occurred on the
Central America during the few hours before she

treasure belts and scattered the gold upon the cab

them to their death. Full purses containing in
some instances g, 000, were lying untouched on So

metal was poured out on the floor with the prodig

THE ALABAMA POISONING CASE.

The Montgomery Gala Mail says
One of our subscribers from Pike Co., inform
edus yesterday OF a most horrible and strocious
case of poisoning in that county jus, below the.
line of Montgomery, and in the nsighbOrhJoc ut
Bruceville. The annals Of crime will hardly show
II moro extensive and diabolical piece OF vIlliany.
IL seems that a German or Hungarian. whose
name our informant had forgotten, W IS on intimate
terms with a negro woman, the property of old Mr..
Thomas FrHzeil, one Of the earliest settlers ot Pike
This man had once been in the employ of Mr.F.and
was familiar with his premises. Some time since
he had been detected In gambling with Mr.. Fs me-
grUes, ana MIR. F.. had instituted u prosecution
against him. On Saturday evening, 18th inst. he
was seen in conversation with the negro woman
above alluded to at the well. although he had re.
ceived orders from Mr.. Frazell never to come about
his premises.
On Sunday there were come thirty seven p IRONS
dining at Mr.. FrazeIIs house, OF whom about shir-
ty were visitors from the neighburhocd: All these
became sick soon alter eating. vomiting Violently
and the cook being arrested immediately, ON a sus-
piclon OF poisoning, at once proceeded tU state as
follows. She said that the white man above re-
lerred to, while at the well, had given heI a vial
containing arsenic, which he instructed her to MIN
gle with ''the meal. the milk, tho butter, and the
c. flee. lie was particularly DESTROYS that il should

the old man had taken that, he would hardly pros
ecule him in that case,
The poison was administered, as we have seen.
but too successfully. The whole assemnlage Of
persons were put under its influence; and at the
last accounts Sir had died Of Its effects. Old Mr..
Frazell died about sunset on Sunday, the day VI
the poisoning. His Overseer's wife and two chill.
dren. Mrs. Cloud. a widowed daughter of Mr.. F.,
and Mr.. F.'s grand daughter, died the next day.
Several others were lying in a critical condition.
and doubtless there will be more victims VI this
awiully feniish crime.
Mr.. Jack Fraze!l, SON Of the old man. happened
to .e out Of meal on the day of the poisoning, and
sent to his fathers and borrowed IL bushel. All
who partook of this, including Il brother, who had
declined to eat at his fathers, having oms in after
some Of the company had got sick, we're more Ut
less affected.
After We had written the above, our informant,
Mr.. j. M. johnson Of Pike, called on us again aud
gave us the name Of the prisoner, which is Comis-
ka. MIR. j. further states that the Infatuated PEG.
pie of the neishborbood have burnt the negro wo-
mar, and will perform the same service for Comis-
ka On next Monday. In the mean time, he is
safely lodged in jail at Troy. lie neither denies
nor admits anything.
