AWFUL TRAGEDY IN PoNTSroc
CouNTY,-We learn from Mr.. ]. 10.
Harris, of P0ntotoc county, that an
awful tragedy was enacted in THAI
county a few days since, fa which
three men were killed. There was a
free negro living ihthat county, whes
some time since, Killed a white mans
near Fort Smith, and Governor HaF.
ris issued orders 10 Mr.. Young Brown,
Sheriff of that county, TO arrest him.
He accordingly, in company with two
other men, went 10 arrest him. When
they got near the house, the negro
ran TO a crib where be had firearms.
One of the Shefilfs partyran to the
doorin the crib, and seeing the negro
with a pistol presented, lie ran away
and the other man that was with the
Sheriff then ran up to the door, when
the negro shot him dead, The Sher-
if then shot the negro, wounding
him, al the same time the Sheriff re-
ceiyed a shot in the head, the ball
entering the upper part of his head.
The Sheriff though badly wounded,
then clenched the negro, but having
10 knife, the negro cut him all TO pie
ces, and thus ended his troubles. The
negro being wounded, found he could
not get away, shot himself. His
motherand sisters laid him out, think
ing they would give him a decent
burial, but Mr.. Browns father. in-hw
took the body, threw ii on a log heap,
and burnt it up.-Chickasaw (Miss.)

The sectional Democracy are rejoicing
that they have the entire Congressional del
egations from Missouri, Arkansas. Florida,
and South Carolina. In these States a
Republican is not permitted 10 exist, and
of course the degenerate Democracy carry
every thing without formidable opposition.
If Jefferson should rise from his grave,
and be a candidate for Congress, the
pro- slavery men would drive him out of

RoYAL PoL1TENEss-A Scotch news
paper, which evidently is deficient in
the feeling commonly known as ssloy-
atty" among the English, p~rofanely
has a cut at taller Most Gracious Ma
iesty," Queen Victoria. Ii appears
that, accompanied by her husband
and some of her children; Victoria
lately visited the town of Leeds, on the
way to Scotland, with the expressed
purpose OF opening a magnificent
Town-HalI, which the Leeds people
have lately built. The Glasgow Ex-
aminer says:
"Among the curiosites of royal life
il may be worth while TO state that,
though the Mayor of Leeds gave up
his mansion to the Queen, and spent
GI0,O00 in entertaining her, his lady
was not allowed TO dine with her or
even see her.. The Mayor himself
had commenced his dinner with a
neighbor, when he was commanded
to dine with the Que en-; but the lady
was not admitted TO her own house
to sit at her w table,"
If this be a true bill, and it is pre-
cisely what we know to have occur
ed repeatedly, at other places visited
by the Queen, ii is a fine specimen of
cool impertinence. The Mayor, Mr..
Fairbrain, 'treceived the honor of
Knighthood," and is now called "Sir
Peter" but this is a scanty equivalent
for the compliment he paid Her Ma
jesty, at a vast expense. Another
r newspaper states that Lady Fairbrain
had received bracelet frem-the
Queen. (after the publication Of the
, above ann0uncement,9 but does not
l add that, with true womanly spirit,
5 she'had refused to accept a present
from a lady however exalted in rank,
who wouldih not sit down 10 the table
with her, would not even see her,
This excIusiveness would be very
amusing, if it were not very imperti-

The RESULT IN OH1o.-The State Jour-

the counties in the State except seven had
been received at the office of the Secretary
of State, which make the average majority

Unofficial returns from al the other counties
except one have been received through the
local papers. which increase the majority TO
considerably over 0 1000, and the county yet

PIxE's PEAK.-Froom the Leavenworth
Journal OF the Is tn we learn that Mr.. Phil
lip Peers, a gentleman who had been in the
Rocky Mountains for the last four years, has
Just arrived in that city, direct from Pixies
Peak mines, bri nging with him ane speci-
mems of gold obtained in the diggings. Mr..
Peers corroborates the statements we have
heretofore published, and brings with him
incontestible evidence Of the existence OF
the "precieus metal' in that region.
The miners are sanguine that the mines
will pay, 1t is believed they are as rich as
the Califc7nia mines. The gold in the pos
session of our informant is very ine-heen-
ty-tpo caraiA, we should think, and his ex-
perlence in the California mines, and famil-
iarity with their production .jusnties the cor~
~clusion.
Quite a large number Of emigrants were
met, on the way, destined for the gold region.
MIR. Peers thinks it is too late in the season
to venture there, but expresses entire conf
dence in the mines. st. Louis. Dem,
