I he SanEAfmon Co. Murder Singular
Superstition.


&upeTstltlon.
The Springfield correspondent ofthe ST. Louis
R<pu1lican giyc the following facts in relation
to the recent homicide in Sangamon County.
We hare to recount anotder murder, commit
ted in this county last Saturday night, which is
more horrible than the one above referred to.
An old n12n by tue name Of Aaron Fox, when
entering the door Of his house, which is situated
about six miles east Of here, uas shot down by
cult to arrive ut the cause Of the murder. Fox
was m old man over sixty years OF age. He was
in the habit Of getting drunk frequently, and
while in that condition wnu1d use threatening
language, 1t il said that bis wife. who is old
woman, and several Of the neighbors, had bcen
consulting "fortune tel.cr'about their future
prcspecss, and it is said. tue fortune teller told
the old ~oman that blood would be shed in lcr
house soon. This. 10 connection with old Fox's
threats, at once led these deluded people to sup
pose that old Fox would be the cause Of the
shedding Of tie blood. On Saturday old Fox
and bis wife had some dispute, when the old
woman told him xlot the fortune teller had
Coming to this place he got under the influence
Of liquor somewhat, aud Ut night concluded to
return home He reached the house about 10
o'clock, md finding the door fastened, knocked
on the window for admitiance- This being re-
fused him he forced the dour open, and was in
In Law, Branch shot him in the lca temple, kil
ling him Instantly. There we're four or five
men in the house and five women. called in by
old Mrs.. Fox, to stay all night with her, to pro-
1t appears thai the cause fthts murder is the
result Of the prophecy Of tho fortune teller.
These people were, no doubt, rcry superstitious
aud when old Fox made his appearance at the
house 1t 10 O'Clock ut night, usiug threatening
language. they thought their time had come.
We doubt whether parallel case can be found,
where fye men did not think themselves able
to project themselves from IN anticipated u.s.
sault from M unarmed. old ulan. Their action
in this case can only be attributed 10 great
fright induced By supersutiou. Branch has
been committed for murder. The Circuit Court
will be held in this county the last Of next
month, when the different persons, now lying
In jul, will be tried.

The Great Gu = Of France aud Eng.
land~Whlch arc ahc Most Destructive.
lA4sel1es duly ., Correspondence Of London I1me1l
The most noticeable feature in the arsenal is
the nary. Twelve thirty FOUNDERS had just ar
rived, aud were waiting 10 be fitted With locks,
preparatory to being sent 10 the feet The
system which appears to be definitely adopted,
after repeated experiments, consists Of three
groores, about three INCHES broad aud m eight
More guns Of the same kind were being landed
on the guays- From the exertion made to pro-
vide French men Of war with certain number
Of rided guus, the question naturally suggests
itself whether it is prudent for English ships to
wait Until they can be supplied with Armstrong
guns The immense superiority Of rided ord.
nance may be accepted now as IN established
fact. Yet 50 enormous is the demand that for
the protection Of English interests beliere
many years must elapse before Armstrong guns
can be supplied to allow our ships, land bate
ries and Geld batteries After the terrible les
son Of Soferino, no English force ahould be
allowed to 60 into action, on such unequal terra.
- the Ausirians did. Under these citcum>tan-
ccs, therefore, and while waiting the supply of
the necessary number Of Armstrong guns, it
would seem to be no more than wise p5ecau-
tion to rife all the smooth bored guns ofsmall
ca.ibre as far as possible. 1t will be y long
shot] are superseded, hut there is no reason
Why the lighter guns 50 and "a FOUNDERS,
now supplied to ships ahould not be filed.
There are, believe, an immense number Of
the lstter calibzes in store in England, and they
haYeth reputation of being remarkably handy,
~e.sy to work hnd requiring few men. Nthey
were rided they would throw cylndro-conical
solid shot and shell, the former weighing II
least ffsy pounds. By using guns Of such light
weight, but throwing such henry metal, the
number Of 6s poundera supplied to each ship
might be increased withoutfear Of overweight
ing her, and there can be no doubt as to the sn-
perior effect Of = broadside Of shot each weigh
INK $500 yards, .s compared with the result of
the present asnAnenta. With the mechanical
resources Of England there il NO reason why
every smooth bore Of the caiihre mentioned
should not be Eided within The next threc months
The same observation applies with greater force

There IL lardly man Of mute iu England
who dares set himself up to resist the opinion
that Great Britain will soon be engaged in a
war with Fsa1cc- The sudden, unexpected,
and disastrous termination Of tho struggle in
Italy, aud the proved falsity Of Napoleonlc
pledges, have filed a1l classes with alarm nnd
among the possibilities Of the Imperial policy,
the attempted conquest Of England, tho occu-
patton Of London by French army, md the
destruction Of the printing houses Of tho 7snes,
are thoss which seem to John Bull most likely
to be realized Hence the CRY for. new fleets,
new coast delenees, and the organization of
rife brigades Is inoe.sant, - cry which norc
dare resist
While England is thus stirred TO the lowctt
depth, Prussia ia hardly less seriously alarmed.
Her statesmen are conscious TINT in delaying
the aid which Austria expected, until it ceased
to be Of avail, they hare increased Austrian
hate; while h , mobilization of the army at
the latest moment is a cause Of offence which
France will not soon forget They believe thht
the establishing ent Of friendly relations between
the late combatansss upon terms 80 unexpect~
sd and extraordinary. IL a meancc which Prus-
aia ought lot to misunderstood, Hence thcy
also vii engage in Preparations for a nov and.
to Europe, q most important struggle. Bo.h in
England and Prussia the conviction ia general
that as soon rs losses aserepaircd, new credits
are established and new armamcnts obtained,
the combat win commence upon another and
greater field, to which, sooner OF later, Ill tho
European Powers will be Led. The self love
and imagined Importance Of PRUSSIA in the a.
fairs of mankind make her sure TINT tie i'm.
pending blow will lall within her borders !;

our farmer friends will suffer lis to say this !:
The pretence TINT prices arc kept down by

and the men who do not sell when they might

the 'tcombinaiion" will be broken and larger
