TIE WHEREABOUTS OF OLD BORDER
RUeFIAN HERoEs.-The Leavenworth COR
respondent of the New York Evenino
Post writes that the notorious leaders of
the pro-slavory invasions arc rapidly 'pass-

cut, ,throats have departed, unrewarded, for
Arizona; but the great majority Of the
most reckless and guilty, who remain in
Kansas like Emory, G. w. Clark. Sheriff
Jones, Jack Henderson, John Calhoun,
Whitfield, etc., aro enjoying lucrative po-
sitlons bestowed by President Buchanan.
In Missouri, however, the public men who
sacrificed so much money and horse flesh,
and attended so m,ny territorial elections,
for the sake Of establishing slavery in Kan
sas, are now realizing the ingratitude of
Republics. Major Oliver, tho minority
member Of the Kansas Investigating Com
mittee, has just left Missouri for the South
in disgust, his star having for the last year
been on the decline in consequence of his
participation in the border ruffian invasion.
"Dave" Atchison. the very Achilles of the
ruffians, neglected alike by the Dcmocra-
cy Of his State and the nation, is permit
ted, on his plantation in Platte Co., to re-
main in that private life which no is $50

within the last few days, it is reported that

GOOD NIGHT.

Goodnight word so often said,
The needless mind forgets its nearing;
'Tis only when some heart lies dead,
On which our own was leaning,
We hear in maddening music roll 20
rhe last good night along the soul,
Goodnight in tones that never die
1t pe,ls along the quickening cor.
And tender gales Of memory
Forever watt 1t near, 4
When stled the voce-oh, crush of pam
That ne'er shall breathe goodnight" again.
Goodnight 1t mocks us from the grave;
1t overleaps that strange worlds bound.
From whence there flows no backward
wave:
Il calls from out the ground,
On every eide, around, above,
Goodnight, goodnight to life and love
Goodnight Oh wherefore fades away
The light that lived in that dear word7
Why follows that Goodnight no day,
Why are our souls so stirred'
Oh, rather say dull brain, once more
Goodnight thy time OF toll rs Ger.
Goodnight! now cometh gentle sleep,
And tears that fall like welcome rain.
Goodnight Oh; holy blest and deep
The rest that follows pain;
How should we reach Gods upper light
If flifs's long day had no Good might"

WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RyBBERs.-We
have noticed that many persons wear India
Rubber overshoes in cold, dry weather, to
keep their feet warm. This is an ipjudic-
ious and evil practice. India Rubber shoes
are very comfortable and convenient for
covering the feet during wet and sloppy
weather. but they never should be worn in
any other OCCASION; their sole use should
be to keep out the water. They should,
therefore, be taken off whenever the wear
or enters the house, and be worn as little
as possible, because they are air-ight, and
restrain the PRECIPITATION of the feet The
air cannot be excluded from them. or any
portion of the bouy, for any length of time,
without scnsib!y affecting the health. 1t
is our opinion that no habit tends more to
good health than clean feet, and clean dry
stockings, SO as to allow the free prespira-
ton of the neither extremities.- Scientific
American.

last illness, she regretted having brought
the child away, but having then much
hope Of the happiness We might enjoy,
aud anxious to be less alone in the world,
she coula never think of leaving e be-
hind; claiming, as her mother, that she
had stronger personal right TO = daughter
than its father, whom she was about to
leave forever.
After this sad and dreadful tire, I con-
stantly and anxiously sought an lopportuui.
ty to send the child to you, or her grand.
fathers family, where you would eventual
" obtain her. My object was TO find some
good, trusty woman, or a family going to
America, but such chance never offered
in a siugle instance.
If / have sinned, God in Heaven only
knows how have suffered, and it. 10 your
cruel bereavement, you have cursed me,
that curse is fearfully fulfilled. And now
sadly, to the unhappy task of telling you,
what | have so solemnly engaged to do,
and to fulfill the last duty to those have
so missed.
Before ! 60 further, or into still more
painful results, beg you will allow mo to
say that / haven't spoken of the anxiety
Of O., and her constant efforts TO renew
my promise to her, and which were re-
peated only two days before her death, in
tho hope that you will exercise more chali-
ty towards her memory. Let mo trust
that you will do so, and think and feel
less severely towards her. She paid Bit
ter penalty for all the outrage that was
committed upon you. In her last Illness,
she spoke often, feelingly and tendcrly Of
yeu, with how much regret need not
say, but wishing to acknowledge to me
that you had always treated her kindly
and carefully, and that on her and myself
alone rested the responsibility Of that now
fatal separation.
Painful as all this is, and however dis
astrous to me, cannot feel at rest until
havo done what little remains in my pow
er to, and when this packet leaves my
hand, shall have discharged the last sad
and melancholy duty. I now suffer only
from feelings Of remorse and blighted hope
in the fate that it is henceforth my lot to
endure. But I will add no more, and T
can or could say, may only i'sgust you the
more towards me.
For obvious reasons it is not, and can.
not be. my purpose to speak Of any details
or particulars as to tho past or the future,
or indeed Of myself, in any way. I trust
you may never hear from me again, and
molly wish and hope your future life may
afford you, even yet, less Of anguish than
the past few years. If my life depends
upon my present health, or my now limit
ed means, my memory must be blotted
out very soon.
But l vet remain bumbly your unwor-
thy, HARLow CASE.

NEW DIRK, Dec. 70.
The Washington correspondence of the
Tribune give an account of the English and
Montgomery ftacas furnished by himself,
which differs materially from that tele-
graphed on Saturday. Mr.. Ms. account
is fully corroborated by Mesrs. VIM. Couch
and Daniel Cox, who witnessed the affair,
and who states that Mr.. English spoke,
saying, allow are YOU Mr.. Montgomery"
neither spoke nor paid any attention to this
solutation, but passed on down the avenue.
Mr.. English stepped after him few
steps, and struck him from behind, with
his cane, very heavy blow on the side of
the head. Montgomery turned on him.
English stepped back and drew his swcid
cane as though about to stab Montgomery
with it.
Montgomery STEPPED back into the ave-
nue. and caught up piece Of brick. En-
glish was running when Montgomery threw
the brick and hit him on the heel or lower
part of the leg. Montgomery went back
for another stone and English ran rapidly
away up l4th street. When Montgomery
came back English had run Ealfa square
and was beyond his reach. We were the
only persons close by. We saw and heard
all that passed. Montgomery did not
speak till after he was struck.
Mr.. Thomas Keener conoborates the
above. English has been to held bail for
assault. Montgomery's face is badly bruised
and he has kept his room since, attended
by physicians.
Mr.. NJ. had already twice passed En-
glish on Saturday without speaking.

Like a flower thy spirit did depart.
Thou hast gone, alas, like the many
That have bloomed in the summer Of my heart.

Never hear thy winning voice again,
When the Spring time comes Gentle Annie,
And the wild flowers are scattered DER the
Plain.
We have rosmsd and loved mid the bowers,
When thy downy cheeks were in bloom,
Now stand alone mid the flowers,
As they mingle their perfumes o'er tho tomb.
Chorus-Shall we never more behold theo go
Ahl the hoprs grow sad while ponder,
Near the silent spot where thou art laid,
And my heart bows down while wander
By the streamlets and meadows where we
strayed.
Chorus-Shal we never more behold thee Sc.

QUARANTINE ATFAIRS.

The list Regiment was visited yesterday at Camp
Washington by al immense numbers people. Crowds
began to flock in by every boat arriving after noon,
and at o'clock, the hour of parade the number of
persons present as visitors was immense. Among the
spectators were numerous military Of all grades
of rank The cause of the immense attendance was,
no doubt the fact that yesterday would be the last
opportunity when tie 7ls next in rank as regiment
only to one other similar organization in the country
could be seen upon the field for time TO come.
Those who came We're certainly not disappointed.
The sight was really grand one, and amply repaid
for all the time spcut in going from the city to witness
it, First of all there a whole camp to be seen,
arranged as in time of war then the soldiers equipped
in their bright uniforms, giving evidence of their pro-
ciency in drill and parade; and last, but not least,
the inspiring music from the Regimenta Band. These
combined formed attraction that thousands in our
city could not resist, and that thous inds would
have been glad to witness
The splendid colors OF the Regiment, presented by
the American ladies of NcwYork, were on exhibition
in the CoOnes ma,que, and hundreds took occasion
to examine them. They are of superior make and
really beautiful and formed yesterday of the prn-
cipal objects of attraction
The parade took place at o'clock, at which time
not less than 5000 people were within the camp
Great difficulty was experienced in keeping the people
back all the immense number present not being able
witness the troops in line. The parade went of ex-
ccediDgy well and elected the highest commentator
from all who wers fortunate enough to witness IT. 1t
seemed that the list had improved wonderfully from
its ten days experience in camp life, and must prove
to be beneficial to the regiments yet to 20 down, who
can learn from ii what daily drill can do for an amb
tious military body.
The list will be received by the eth Regiment at the
Battery this afternoon, when grand military display
may be expected. No doubt the sight of these two re-
nowned bodies of citizen soldiers will be very effective.
The 6e.h Regiment, Col. Ryan. will leave by the
O'Clock boat for Staten Island relieve the list at
o'clock at which time the latter is expected TO leave
/ for Now-York.
There have been several cases of yellow fever
brought within Quarantine from newly arrived vessels
during tie past week. There three or foul
deaths also, in the Same time from various causes.
This week plans and specifications will be received
at the Mayors Oaice for retrecting the various resi-
denccs burnt down in the general destruction of the
Quarantine buildings.

STATE OF NEw-YoRK, Executive Dept
Albany, Oct. II, 1858.
SIR: petition dated the 30th of September, said
TO have been composed by and under the hand of Ira
Stout asking for cOmnutation of the sentence OF
death pronounced against him Cor the murder Of
Charles W. Ltes to imprisonment for life, was re-
ceived yesterday The petition was without sigma
lures and fully admitted that Stout was guilty of the
homicide. My own of duty and great regard
Eor the feelings Of the convict admOnish me not TO
withhold from him my decision in respect to this
His crime was Of the highest character that man can
commit; his guilt was clear; the evidence and ver
dict OF the jury left grounds for doubt; and the
law declares that the life of murderer is forfeited
Applications and appeals to some extent have been
made To me in behalf of Ira Stout, and have not
been able 10 find in them any gronnd for changing the
sentence pronounced ag lnst him. You will, there
fore earnestly request him dismiss the hope of in
reference on my part with the sentence of the law,
and bid him prepare to meet the change which in a
few brief DAYS awaits him. May his humble repent
ance plead for mercy with Him who alone has power
10 save.
