prAru OF WIZ. T. PoRrrR.-wm. T. Por-

DEATH OF WIN. T. PoRrER.-Wm. T. Por-
ter, of Porter's Spirit Of the Times, died in
New York on Monday. He was editor Of
the aold Spirit for a quarter of century,
and was one of the best informed men, in
the country. Mr.. Porter was native Of
Vermont, and belonged to family of i've
brothers, all of whom were brilliant writers
and wits. They have all fallen into the
sleep that knows no waking. Mr.. Porter
was a practical printer, and received his ed
ucation in printing Office. He went to
New York about thirty years ago, and was
employed as foreman in a printing Office,
where he had the opportunity of giving a
verdant young man from Vermont, who
afterwards proved to be the famous Horace
Greeley, his first employment in New York
as type setter. There has ever since ex-
listed very friendly regard between the
two compositors both of whom have risen
to fame.
Soon after his arrival in New York, Mr..
POrters attention was directed to field sports
in their several varieties and he saw the ne
cessity of journal directed to their inter-
ests, and of an organ especially devoted to
the turf. He thereupon founded what was
long known in New York, as the Spirit OF
the Times, paper devoted not only to the
sports of the turf but to every outdoor
manly exertise, including hunting, fishing,
with all their kindred excitements. This
journal at once attracted the attention OF
men throughout the country engaged in
raising thoroughbred stock. II gave an
impetus to the interest felt in feet horses
never before known, and the editorial rooms
of the proprietor in consequence became
the favorite resort Of leading gentlemen
| throughout the country whenever they Wis
tied New York during the racing season.
In the settlement of disputed points between
sporting men, Mr.. Porter's opinion was con-
fidcntly referred to by disputants, on either
side and his judgment on all controverted
! points of that character was quietly acqui-
esced in as conclusive. Up to the time OF
his death, he lad probably decided more
questions involving money between sport
ing men than any other person, and his fai
once given was considered without appeal
His paper acquired among all sympathis-
ers with the subject upon which it treated
a very general popularity. Mr.. Porter wa;
remarkable for the amiability of his TEN.
per and the kindness of his heart. He
seemed to live without an enemy, and al
| the time of his death he was probably the
best known of any man i'm New York who
had never filled an official station.

DIABoLIcAL OrTRAGE.-A negro belong
ing to the estate Of A. &. Starke, in Shelby
county, Tenn, recently met his death from
the fiendish punishment of w. S. MOntgOm-
cry, the Oyerseer. The offence committed
by the deceased was a temporary absence
from labor, and the punishment administer
ed was series of severe whippings unex-
ampled, almost, in the catalogue of cruelty.
One witness stated that the first punishment
consisted Of fre hundred stripes, and that the
deceased was subjected to that character OF
punishment every day for period of ten
days. This cruelty was INDUCED against
the wish of Mrs. Starke, the owner of the
slave, and seemed to he simply in accordance
with the fiendish tastes of the oversecr.-
When it was ascertaincd that the negro
would die, the scoundrelly ovcrseer made his
escape, and his whereabouts is still un.
known.

Occasional says, of the prospect in
Pennsylvania:
Great JOY has been excited in official cir
cles here by the announcement, in the last
Harrisburg Union, Colonel Haldeman's pa
per, that every Lecompton Democrat in
Pennsylvania is certain Of being re-nomin-
ated. The Office holders here care very little
whether the whole of the county tickets in
Pennsylvania are borne down by these I'M
fortunate nominations, only so that the pol
icy of the Administration in reference to
Kansas is endorsed.
This is as it should be. We wish every
man in the last Congress who voted either
for or against the Lecompton Constitution
.or the still more abomni)le English com.
promise-would be renominated by theil
respective friends. We would like to see tn,
question fairly and squarely placed befor,
the American people in order that they may
give verdict which will bear no two con
structions. In this State most, if not all, o
the members Of the last Congress, who votet
against the fraud, are candidates for re-eiec
ton with good prospects Of success.
On the other hand, the probability is tina
two, out of the four Lecomptonites fror
fhis State will be re-nominated.
