DEATH FROM HYDRoPHoBlA.--Some time since man named James Il. Hyde died in Norwich, Conn.,, from the bite of mad dog, that had also bitten several of his cattle, and one (which was subsequently, sold to GriswoId Randall, of LeffingweIl. Conn. Mrs Ann Ran- dall, his sister who kept house for him, had the curiosity to try whether the COW, which had begun to show signs of hydrophoba, would drink water. The froth and saliva from the cows mouth got into the water, and afterwards Mrs R. thoaghtlessly put her hand into the water to rinse out the pail. On one of the fn- gers of her hand thus introduced into the water was slight abrasion of the skin. In few days after this-Thursday morning last--Mrs. R. was attacked with hydrophobia, and after three days of horrible agony died on Saturday night

TIE CREDITORS OF LAWRENCE, STONE & Co
 At meetrng at the court oI insolvency in Boston, on Wednesday, of the creditors of Law renee, Stone & Co.,, Charles II. Head and John Lowell were chosen assignees. The Post says
 The amount of liabilities proved was about Sl,0OO,OOO, including acceptances for the Bay State Mills, Pemberton Mills, Mddlesex Mills, and New England Worsted Company. Among several large claims proved by creditors were the claim of Boston gentleman for the sum of S330,0O0. one large private banking house for S120,00O, and several of the Boston banks, varying from S3O 900 to S87,OoO Among the debts proved were several held by savings banks in the vicinity of Boston. It must be under stood that the parties proving deb's against this firm have other names upon their notes, upon which they will, i'll most cases, realize the face of the debts As it Is presumed that the mills of which Messrs. Lawrence, Stone 6t Co.,, were agents, and for which most of their indebl edness was contracted will be able to pay in full, or, at worst, nearly one hundred cents on the dol- lar. The whole indebtedness Of Lawrence, Stone X Co., on their own account, and for ac- count of different mills, is between three and four millions of dollars

mcnt of the Fugitive Slave Law, or
an endorsement Of anything else un-
der heaven, is weak and frivolous,
unsustained by single fact in ethics.
Hence it seems that the difference in
means for overtime wing the oligarchy,
between us and the Abolitionists is,
that we employ means and they do
not. We submit that the argumont
isin our favor.
M"3. The difference Of method is
very much the same as that means,
and brings us to like result. The
Republican party believe in first Sc
curing to freedom the new and unoc-
cupied Territories of the Union
This is present possibility, and he
who refuses his aid in the work, is
open to the charge Of being hostile to
the sentiment which carries it for
ward. Nothing ellectual can be done
towards ameliorating the condition
OF the slave and reforming the morals
OF the master in Alabama or the Car
olinas, till this work is accomplished.
The Abolitionists read us special
lecture for being interested in the
cause of white men and white labor
The reply tothis is, that the cause Of
white labor is the cause Of emancipa-
tion, and that what is best for halt of
the community is best for the whole.
"a. But the radical difference be-
tween the Republican party and the
Abolltionists is, that the former pro-
pose to carry out their reforms by
peaceful and conciliatory agencies,
while the latter would effect theirs by
lorcible crusade. limo other argu-
ment will avail to show the advanta-
geS of our plan, it is sufficient to say
that the former is possible and the
latter is not, 1t is part of our the
ory that the master, as well as the
slave, has some rights which we are
bound to respect-not necessarily the
right to hold the slave, but the right
to be consulted as to the manner ot
releasing him. 1t is in this way that
the emancipation Of Missouri is being
effected to-day, and in this way the
emancipation of the entire South is
to be effected, if effected @ all. An
ihsunection Of the slaves themselves
would only end in their re-sub.uga'
tion through river OF blood"

"a Conservative

b. j, NEwsoM of Tecpmseh, or LIE.
compton, we know not Which, has
been appointed Agent for the Shaw
nee Indians, by the President. We
perceive the Lecompton Democrat Of
the Goth ult., congratulates itself on
that appointment, on the ground that
Mr. NEwsoM is q conservative man,
and has aever been engaged in any Of
the past difficulties. We think, if
our memory serves us right, that this
same NEwsoM has done all that his
little ability>would allow him to do
in fomenting dc troubles here. He
was out with the Pro Slavery army
in '56--aided Judge ELMoRE in his
attack on Mr.. KAaI of the National
Era, and no longer ago thp last sum
mer, undertook to stab Free State
man in the Court House a. Tecumseh
we mean Mr.. HENRY BoYNToN Of
Big Springs. We remember him as
loud-mouthed and violently rabid in
his denunciations of the Odd abo-
litionists," at the Pro Slavery Dem
ocratic Convention in Lecompton,
January, '57. Like many Others we
could name, Mr.. NEwsoM is conserv-
ative and peace-loving when Sharp's
Rifles, in the hands of Free State men,
had proved that Ruflianism and vio'
lence could not accomplish one part
ofthe Slave programme, and the over
whelming Free Labor majority had
completely closed the avenues to So
ciety which such as he soughtto open
by fraudulent voting and forged cleo
tion returns.
