The JAFFA MURDER AND OUTRAGE.-We learn
that the perpetrators Of the horrible outrage
and murder in the family Of Mr.. Dickson at Jaffa.
in Syria, have been arrested and condemned to
death. The American consul general in Egypt,
Mr.. DeLeon, by his promptness and energy eff.
fected the measures which resulted in the Sci
cure Of the guilty wretches, and it is hoped that
their condign punishment may strike whole
some terror in the Arab population. Fourteen
murders have been perpetrated within two years
in the vicinity of Jaffa aud Jerusalem, on per-
sons Of different nations, and no notice has been
taken OF them BY the government. Our cousuls
energy is therefore greatly to be commended,
and its good effects will be appreciated. The
Dickson agricultural enterprise 10 broken up,
and his son-in-law, Steinbeck, writes that with
the first opportunity the survivors expect to re.
turn to American. Y. Observer.

Washington, April 4. 1858.
There 10 no break in the Anti ecompten col

clined to favor conference, which Is the turn.
ing point, has abandoned his purpose.
A motion to adhere 10 within the rules, though
It 10 not usually made after FIRST disagreement.
This case being outside Of ordinary legislation,

position.
Comment 10 excited here BY the fact that al
the District appointees have been commissioned,
and have entered on their duties, except Bar

The Union has discovered . mares nest in
certain letters Of Gov. Chase and the Republ-
can members Of the Legislature Of Ohio, taking
exception to the Crittenden substitute. The
Union predicates its hope Of detection upon
this; but that correspondence was received and
considered before the vote Of last Thursday.
and the delegation determined to regulate their
own affairs in their own way. The objections
to various points in the substitute had been
previously done away with. It's present form,
together with the vote ON the rejection Of ke-
compton in the House, has disembarra.sed Re-
publieans from al possibility Of honest miscon-
struction.
The President yesterday signiGed bis decided
dissatisfaction with the course which the Union
has pursued throughout the Kansas controver-
y, and censured it - responsible for the disin-
tegra ton Of the party.
Heretofore he has never admitted the Union
directly to be his organ, though he admitted
that it was used for particular purposes. Now
be signifies his intention to discard it even, in.
directly.

The NEW GOLD DIGGrNGs.-The intelligence
from the diggings in this vicinity is more favor
able than ever, new leads having been discov-
cred on South river and Squaw creek, and one
Of our citizens has found some Of the genuine
gold dust in this county on North river. We
are not 10 sanguine as many Of those who have
visited these places, preferring to wait until we
learn that gold digging will pay As . business
We have beautiful specimen Of the genuine
yellow metal before rs found on the southern
line Of the county which will compare fayorably
with similar specimens from California. Il has
evidently been in liquid state once, and this
fact would seem to indicate the existence OF
veins Of the precious metalin the vicinity where
this specimen was picked up. However We
think these p,eces are rarely found here. We
have also seen some quartz intersected with
small particles of gold, and beautiful black sand
from which gold was obtained by the use Of
quicksilver. We would caution the public,
however. against placing too much confidence
in the thousand rumOrs respecting these Disco
veries. Letters have been written announcing
the discovery Of ''rich lesds," which have an
existence only in the imagination Of the writer's.
All these stories are greatly exaggerated, and
intended to impose upon the weak and credu.
lous. The amount Of gold found in these places,
70 far, would mot be worth the product OF fo.ty
acres Of land we'll planted with corn, and W
hope no one who has any useful employment
will forsake il Tor the purpose Of running after
these golden vagaPies. Just wait awhile, mar.

Fatal RecOMtfe-Terrfble Fight with
RiNtOlN and RQXie KniYea.

Fatal Recontre--Terrible Fight with
Pistols and Bowie KNIVES.
On Saturday evening one of the bloodiest and
most desperate encounters ever recorded, even
in the annals Of Kentucky, took place in Spring
held, Washington County, between Ben. Pal
mer and w. Mack Brooker. The former was
instantly killed and the latter is not expected
to survive his wounds There had been some
i'll feeling between the two, arising from the
election OF Booker to the command Of a CON-
pany that had been raised in that county to 70
to Utah.
The particulars Of the desperate affray are
these The parties met in the barroom of .
tavern in Springfield and an alteration instantly
ensued, one or the other first using his fists.
Each then drew . revolver and fred four shots
apiece in rapid succession, three of Palmer's
hitting Booker-one on the left hand, a second
in his leg, and third in his left breast The
first shot fred by Booker struck Palmer in the
groin, penetrating the bladder-a mortal
wound. He was also wounded in the leg.
After exhausting his shots, Palmer hurled his
pistol with all his strength against Booker, who,
thinking himself MORALLY wounded seized the
other with his left hand by the coat collar, and
throwing away his pistol, drew bowie knife
and stabbed the unfortunate Palmer nine times
in the breast and body. The latter fell dead in
his tracks, his body sire aiming blood at every
pore. Booker may possibly survive his wounds,
though It's thought the shot in the breast will
prove fatal.
Booker is the son of Judge Paul Booker, for
many years District Judge in the State. Pal.
mer 10 the son OF the Hon. X. G. Palmer. ex-
Senator from Washington County, and grand
son of the late Ben. Hardin, of Bardstown.-

10 much prospect Of peace on Col. Fdtney's

We stand ready to shake hands with oil par
ties over the glorious example Of the House !;
and We had hoped that the President would re.
spond to the universal wishes in the Northern
States, and TO the conservative sentiment Of the
South, by doing the same. But il it is to be
otherwise-if this strife is to be maintained in
favor Of the minority principle, and the noble
action Of the House in support Of the majority
rule 10 to be repudiatsd-we are prepared for
the struggle. We should have preferred peace,
because that would have united the Democracy y,
and would have closed the contest but il it il

the consequences. We otter the olive branch.

TIE WEAKNEss OF TIE ADMINISTRATION tn
CoSGREss.-The Warrington correspondent Of
the New York Journal of Commerce, after ID

ates and comments on some Of its failures in
other respects in Congress-
1.-THE army bill is lost, and instead Of 1--WE id.

three regiments Of volunteers are granted The
establishment Of the territory of Arizona,
urged At the beginning Of the session by the
president, and still favored BY him, will NOT
obtain q dozen votes in the Senate. The Pacific
railroad measure, with the southern route, is an
administration project and will fall far short Of
success. The administration is 90 weak in both
houses that it cannot carry single measure Of
any importance. This will Re distinctly seen
when any step shall be taken by the executive
in regard to foreign relations. On the fillibuster
question alone, the president has been, to some
extent sustained, or rather his positions in re-
gard to it have not been rebuked.
1.-THE administration, it is true, controls %.
tronase, and this it will continue to do, in spite
Of opposition, till the end of their term. But
the exertion of this patronage, so far from con-
ducing to their strength, is the cause Of their
weakness. When judiciously disposed, it makes
more enemies than friends, and when it ie con-
ferred injudicously, As is often done, especially
upon its organs, it is the certain source Of mis-
