Bz5f- Bill English is using the same sort
of persuasions to induce his constituents to
re-ciect him, that he employed To persuade
the people of Kansas to swallow the Le-
compton Constitution; being both revolving
doses to take, he tries to sugar them over
with attractive brides. The signal failure
of the first experiment, we should have
thought, would have induced him TO throw
aside this kind of quacl<ery. In a speech
at the Market House in New Albany. last
Sunday, he told the people that during the
recent Session of Congress he introduced
bill to appropriate $4,000 for the erection
of building at that point for post Office
and custom house purposes. He spoke also
of the probability Of an early division of the
State into two judicial districts, as lras been
done in Ohio and Illinois, in which he
should labor to make New Albany the point
at which one of the Courts should he held.
The National Foundry was also referred to,
a bill providing for the location of which,
in the discretion of the President, at or near
the Falls Of the Ohio, had been agreed upon
in committee.
This is equal to the magnificent land
bride proposed to the people of Kansas
New Albany is TO be made port of entry
to have Custom IIOuse-to I've one oi
the judicial capitals of the State, and to
have the great National Foundry establish
ed within her limits, il Mr.. English shall be
reelected TO Congress. The bait don't
take, rs it has been discovered that the
same fattering promises have been held out
to Jacksonville and Cannelton and Tell
City.

THE FINCAsTLE TRAGEDY.-The following
are the further particulars of the homicide
that occurred at Fincastle, Virginia, last
weak.
The parties were Mr. II. W. Dowyer, a
large farmer and highly respectable gentle
man, and Mr.. James Mcdowell, president of
one of the banks of Fincastle, and an ex-
tenSive merchant The former came in pos
session of what he considered conclusive
proof that the latter had been instrumental
in the ruin of his daughter. Acting on the
belief Mr. Bowyer sought Mr. Mcdowell,
found him in the bank, and drawing piS-
toll, fired mt him several times, two balls
taking effect in the chest and abdomen,
producing mortal wounds, from which he
died on the following day.
Both the principals in the affair have for
many years occupied prominent positions
in Botctourt county. Mr. b. belongs to an
old and highly respectable family, and is
himself wealthy and intelligent farmer.
Mr.. Med. has indifferent times filled various
responsible posts at home and abroad
during the administration of President Polk
he was L. s. Consul at Glasgow-and ut
the time of his death was president of the
Farmers Bank, at Fincastle. Mr.. Il. has
been committed for trial by the circuit court.

SINGULAR FEATURE OF THE Epidemic IL
New ORLEAYs.-A singular feature Of the
prevailing epidemic in New Orleans and
which also marked the great epidemic of
1853, is the fact that the Creole children,
even those born of Creole parents, are sub
ject to attacks of disease very similar to
yellow fever. if il he not yellow fever itself
Several such children have been treated as
for yellow fever and have died recently in
New Orleans, and the Bee says that quite a
panic has thereby been produced among the
native population.
The Bee epitomises the views of physi-
clan of eminence in New Orleans, touching
the nature of this mysterious Affection
We quote:
The writer maintains that the disease con-
sidered us yellow fever amongst the Creoles
of New Orleans is neither more nor less
than pernicious fever, assuming the char
acter and phys!ognony of yellow fever
This disease very frequently takes the type
of other fevers, and is extremely apt to be
COMPOUNDED with them. Especially does it
resemble yellow fever when the the latter
prevails in an epidemic form, and not only
does it present the ordinary signs and symp-
'oihS VI lVilo" iV'cii put III lidii. luSldHrCS
is distinguished by black vomit, hitherto
believed to be peculiar to yellow fever
Adopting the principle that it is utterly inn
possible for II Creole of New Orleans TO take
the yellow fever, the physician in question
infers that however identical may be the
appearance of the disease in Creoles, it is
not yellow fever, but pernicious fever. The
conclusion is based upon two prominent and
pregnant facts: First that every case OF
disease in a Creole, supposed to be yellow
fever, and treated by yellow fever remedies,
proves fatal. Second, that the mode of treat
ment invariably applied TO clear and well
defined eases of perniciouS fever effects a
speedy and certain cure in these case.

Treason Disclosed.

Hon. Wm. L. Yan,ey, member of Con-
gress from Alabama, and one Of the con-
spicuous leaders in the Southern Conven-
ton that met at Montgomery, in July last,
has sent letter to the Richmond Enquirer,
which occupies more than three columns OF
that paper, charging Mr.. Pryor, editor of the
Richmond South, with treachery to an as
scciation calling themselves the "Disunion
League" He accuses Mr.. Pryor of having
betrayed the disunion party at the South,
and with having violated certain conditions
proposed by himself on the subject of dis
union. n - .- q II
ait appears that disunion league was
formed of which Mr.. Pryor was member.
The understanding was. that. the league
should appoint commission to negotiate ar
rangements with England in the way of q
protcctorate, direct trade, &C., and after these
arrangements were perfected diSunion was
Immediately to follow.
"Mr. Pryor was at first to make hypo-
critical show of preference for the North,
and after little lodging, to carry Virginia
in favor of the disunion project. He agreed
in other words, that she should not join the
Southern confederacy at the outset, but that
he would bring her in after a slight show
of favor for league with the North"
All of this is charged boldly and positive
ly, and the treason is avowed unblushing'y.
It's weakness and folly excites laughter and
ridicue, Instead of the denunciatious of the
country.
The criminality of those engaged in it is
however, no less than lift wore a more for
midable aspect. These men are the active
and ardent supporters of Mr. Buchanan !;
they instigated his Kansas policy, and were
the authors and promoters ofLecomptonism
and the English compromise they are the
men with whom Bright is plotting for the
Vice Presidency, on pledge to transfer the
Indiana Democracy to Southern nullifiers.
The Hartford Convention, though its trca-
son remained unavowed and unproven, call
ell down the excavations of the country up
on its members, and made the old Federal
party, who harbored the TRAITORS in its bosom,
odious and infamous. Lecomptonism is iden-
teal in principle with Federalism, and its
fruits are not less dangerous and odious.-
Iancey and Prythe are the men who applaud
Niblack's course, and are the defenders OF
! Buchanan.

HOG MoRTALrTY.-lt seems that a legion
of devils have taken possession of the hogs

cent counties. A gentleman who has been
travelling through these counties informs Us
that the mortality is astonishing. In some
places the dead are piled up in hundreds,
the air is black with crows. ravens and buzz
yards, and the stencil is absolutely overpOw-
ering.
The poisoned atmosphere is producing
much sickness. No satisfactory account OF
tn. -csruSr Of the epidemic has yet been as
signed. 1t is as mysterious as the terrible
Asiatic cholera. Under its iron hand the

die in despair.-Hopkinsriiie (Ky.) Her
