Death of G. G. PoindexleE.

The sad duty devolves upon Us of
announcing the death Of our associate
and friend. G. G. PoINDExrER. He
was killea yesterday morning by Al
ZEN A. HALL, the editor Of the Daily
News.
Mr.. PoINDExTER was native OF
Virginia, aud of n family, both on
his fsiher's and mothers side, (his
mother was GILMER, eminent for
patriotism, talent. and courage. He
was born on the 30th Of November,
1929. He graduated at Dartmouth
College, 10 New Hampshire, and at
| the Law School of the Cumberland
University, at Lebanon. In 1856,
be was the Democratic Elector for
the Eighth District in this State
The late Hon. A. V. Brown, who
knew him well and appreciated his
many manly virtues, appointed him
Chief Clerk of the Department over
which he presided in 1856. This
Office he held only about year, and
resigned it, on the solicitations Of
the publishers ofthis paper, TO be-
come one of its editors and proprie-
tors. The engagements of his asso-
ciates have been such, during most
of the time of Mr.. PoINDExTER S con-
nection with the paper, as to throw
most Of the editorial labor on him
We may safely say, that no man in
this country ever earned, in the
same time, a more enviable reputa-
ton in this capacity than that which
has been achieved by our late deep
| ly lamented colleague. As a man
be was as nearly faultless as human
( ity can become; for the manly cour
! age, which, careful Of the rights o
Others, is yet fearless in the defence
of the character OF its possessor, vii
by no true man be imputed as {
fault. Courteous ia ali his intercourse
with Others, he exacted the same
courtesy to himself.
! 1.-THE House of Representatives ad
ljourned until Monday, as token o
respect to the memory of the De

Hall was admitted to bail in thu
sum of 5000.

Abolition Philanthropy.

The Boston Post relates the fol.
lowing history of free negro in that
city, which may safely be taken as a
fair account of the treatment the
"poor blacks" receive by those abo-
litionists who are so greatly affect
ed by the supposed suaeriDgs Of the
slaves at the South:
Some time since, likely negro
man, twenty.eight years old, slave
on a Virginia plantation. having ac-
cumulated enough TO purchase his
freedom, and with something more
laid by, was induced, by pretended
friends, to come to this city. He is
sober, industrious and willing to
work. But where he expected to
meet all friends, especially among
noisy abolitionists, he now finds but
little work aud many cold shoulders
He has expended the whole of his
small surplus; and, with it, has dis.
appeared the phi]antbropic sympa-
thy of those who were proud to know
him in more afflu ent circumstances
A few nights since he went to gro.
Ger to whom he was owing S., con-
lessed his inability to pay the debt,
aud touchlngly bemoaned his hard
lot. He wept like a child, lament.
ed that be had ever left his former
master, said be was mo abolitionist
that they had deceived. cheated
him, and now drove him from their
presence that, could he get the
money back they had helped him to
spend, he would gladly return to the
old Virginia plantation, &c. This is
but one of the many cases where ne.
groes coaxed away, and rnn away over
the underground railroads" SO fire.
quently and significantly alluded to
by the Brown Republican newspapers,
are brought to destitution and want,
ant that too among the very men
who make such loud professions Of
their sympathy for the poor slives.
Where auy of these 'humanitarians
Can be found who will spend money
for the negro, they have a dollar to
run him off while they refuse cent
to save him from want and starvation.

The Scene Of the Riot.

Harper's Ferry, where the distur-
baHce, which promises a most bloody
finale, has taken place, is situated 10
the Valley Of Virginia, at the con-
huence Of the Shenandoah and Pc.
tomac rivers, and is located on bill
which is washed by both rivers. 1t
contains about 5000 inhabitants.
1t is chiefly sustained by the Armo.
ry works, the laborers at which re-.
side. there. On the summit Of the
bill are many handsome residences
OF the officers at the Arsenal. The
Armory, which was captured by the
insurgents, lies chiefly on the Po-
tomac, whose waters propel the ma
ehinery used. On the other side oil
the town, on the Shenandoah, is stu
ated the Armory specially devoted
to the manufacture Of rifles. Capt.
B. Millsis Master Armorer. and A.
nj. Ball Master Machinist Of the
works. The bridge captursd by the
Insurgents and which was stormed on
Monday by the Z. S. mariaes, is
thus described in recent letter to
the Richmond Dispatch:
"The railroad crosses from the left
bank of the Potomac by a powerful
bridge to The town. AS it energies
from the bridge, it takes its course
up the right bank Of the Potomac, a.
long spacious platform that has two
tracks, and is sustained by powerful
timbers resting on iron and stone
pillars, covering part of the Armo-
ry grounds and extending for near
six hundred yards. Embankment
could not be made, because the Al.
mory mnst necessarily communicate
with the, river, which is easily
done under the superstructnre, On
{ MS broad platform the inhabitants
take their evening promeuadss, and
it is n great convenience to them, as
there is little space here for looomo
ton, unless you ascend the hills

THE PLANTER BANK. propo.
sition is now before the Legislature
to extend the charter of this Bank
for period of twenty years. We
should like to comment upon this
measure if we bad room, bu. must
decline doing SO now. The Planter
Bank is one of the money machines
which has been acting in open def
ance of the laws OF the State since
1857, claiming for itself vested rights,
with which the people have no right
to NEEDLE. The Democracy stand
pledged against renewal of said
charter, aud we hope they will re-
member their obligation, If chatter
ed at all, they should see that it is
done under such restrictions as are
prescribed by the Democratic Plat
form, and laid down in the Governor
Message. There is no other matter
ofvery great importance b-fore the
legislature as yet.

must, as promised, say some
thing about the Pantheon, as it is d.
rectly opposite my window. This
grand edifice is one of the most no.
ted buildings in Paris, aud was com.
menced in l764, by Louis XIV, on u
magnificent scale: its entire cost was
met by the proceeds of a lottery; it
has at different times, been used as a
church and Temple of Fame, dedi-
Gated to the great men Of France.
1t was built in imitation Of the
celebrated Pantheon at Rome, and
as a church, is now dedicated to St.
Genevieve, the patron Saint of Par
| is, who is said, by her prayers, to
have saved the City from destruc-
ton by averting the wrath Of AtilIa;
this is said to have occurred about
the fifth century. One of the most
beautiful pieces Of sculpture now ex-
tant is q group standing in the yesti.
bule of the church, representing ST.
Genevieve disarming the warrior with
one hand, and in the other holding q
cruo;lix. Yesterday | assembled to

The Harper's Ferry .Conspiralors,
sum of $4,000

Gov. Wise, we are persuaded, will
never commute the punishment Of
the Harper's Ferry couspirators, and
he certainly never ought TO. Some
timid counsellors may aud have ad-
yised such course, from the appre-
hension that the execution of Brown
aud other conspirators will make of
them popular martyrs in the North,
aud thus add fuel to the 1aBe of ag-
itation. If so, so be it. If treason
has grown 10 such a height in the
Northern States that the merited
punishment of a traitor, murder
er and an assassin must needs arouse
the popular sympathy, it is time
that we we're made acquainted With
it; and we welcome the issue that
will grow out of it, whether that
issue be one of dissolution or even CIV
il war, or not.
1t is high time that exemplary
and terrible punishment should over
awe the reasonable license that is
rampant. IF this cannot cure the
evil, then we had better separate from
the North. That is all.-Nem phiS

England and France in Collision.

The London correspondent of the

The attitude Of France, in spite
of all the professions Of desire for
peace, continues to occasion conside-
rable ubeasiness. Everybody who

told friend Of mine that be had seen
an offer made this month to ship

steel-clad gun-hoats. to be ready
within a given period, for the use o

these vessels would probably cos
el50.000 to 100000 (S750,0O(
