A BETRAYED WOMAN DESTROYS HERSELF AND
CHILD.-Some months since Mrs. c., a
woman OF twenty-five years or thereabouts,
moved to Elgin. She was an intelligent and
handsome woman, and gave out that she had
lost her husband few weeks previous, in
Chicago, and had sought EIgin with Wow of
am9lorating the remembrances of her loss by
change of scene and society. During her
residence her conduct was in every respect ex-
emplary, and she speedily obtained the re-.
spect, sympathies and oompanionship Of the
best society in the city. Thus matters pro-
gressed until some two weeks since, when one
night she was suddenly taken i'll. A lady of
the place was sent for aud the sick woman was
safely passed through woman's first great trial.
The next night the same lady was sent for in
haste; she came and found the baby dead, and
the mother knceling by its cold form, and she,
too, dying. She lived long enough to tell her
that she had not beon married, that the father
Of her child was one Of Chicago's wealthiest
citizens, and that driven to despair at her dis
grace, and the darkness which the future pre-
sentod, she had administered poison to her
child and herself. She positively refused all
medical assistance, only requesting that her
babe might be laid upon her breast-she
pressed kiss upon its cold lips, and thon her
spirit fled across the shadowy river to await
the coming Of her betrayer.

How THE NEW STATES WERE PeopLED.-
Emigration from tho old to the now States
began much earlier than the passage of the
first law in 1878, giving pensions to revolu-
tionary soldiers, but, in order to show its
effects upon that portion of our population, VIC
give some statistics of those who permanently
changed their domicil after they were pensioned
to other States: From Virginia As removed to
Ohio, IL to kentucky, 10 to District of Colum-
bia, 2 to Maryland, to North Carolina, Z to
Missouri, 8 to Indiana, 2 to Illinois, 13 to Ten
nessee, to Pennsylvania, 2 to New York,
and one each to Michigan, Iowa, Georgia and
Mississippi. In the six New England States,
Of those who removed out of New England,
440 went to New York, 81 to Ohio, 8 to Indiana,
to Illinois, IL to Pennsylvania, 6 to Michi-
gan, Q to Wisconsin, l to Virginia, and 8 to
New jersey. Those from the State of Maine
went generally to Ohio, and tho number from
Connecticut that removed to New York was
much larger than from Massachusetts,. - Wash-

Robert Stephenson's Funeral-Painful
Scene at the Abbey.


Robert ,Stephenson's funeral took place in
London on the 29th, under circumstances Of
deep and imposing solemnity. A consider
able time before the appointed hour, West
minister Abbey was crowded with u distin-
guished blage, numbering nearly 5000;
the streets through which the cortege' passed
were lined with sympathetic thousands who
seemed deeply conscious of the loss the ma
tion had sustained; window-blinda were
drawn down, and the ships in the Thames
lowered their flags in token of respect for the
illustrious dead. Many of our most distin-
guished scientific and commercial bodies
joined in the procession, and among the pail
bearers were Marquis of Chandc,s and Sir
Robert Murchison. The scene inside the
Abbey was one of the most painful descrip-
ton. Stern men, shed burning tears over the
tomb of their old friend and trusty adviser.
and Mr.. Locke, tie eminent engineer, dis.
played, in particular, an intensity of grief
which wrung the hearts Of the bystands ,rs,
Royalty did not lend its presence to the cole.
bration of the obsequies of one of the grea test
Of England's untitled princes; but we f,aye
it, on the authority Of the Duke of Cam
bridge, that her majesty deeply sympatf,ized
with the deep ard general feeling Of regret
which Stephenson's death has evoked.
The Globe says Iuany great men hav's been
buried in Westminster Abbey, but W o have
no record of such q scene as that which we
witnessed on the 29th. The whole proceed
ings were devoid of show or pomp. The fu-
neral was simple in the extreme, but the
mOurners at the place Of burial gave dignity
and impressiveness to tho scene. tt

JoHN MrTCHEL ON FUTURE WARS. = John
Mitchell, who is now in Paris, has commenced
a series of letters in q Dublin paper, called
The irtshman, (similar in its politics and de-
signs to The Na'ion,) in which his object is to
suggest to tho Irish poasantry that France
will soon be at war with England in the Medi-
terranean, and that the opportunity will then
have arrived for inducing the Emperor Napo-
leon to invade ireland. "But," exclaims Mr.
Mitchell, "who will make the Emperor sure
that the Irish people wait for him, and pray
for him? How is he to know that two hundred
and titty-two thousand fighting men would be
found to follow his eagles from Bantry Bay to
Dublin, and from thence if he chose it across
to Liverpool How, above all, are the people
the people of all classes and creeds.-to be
brought to look steadily toward this as an
event not only possible but probable, and
which may to each of them bring joy or sorrow
just as they demean themselves in it?"

"A Richmond Paper on Wendell Phil
Inns.

upss
The Richmond Enquirer has this comment
on Wendell Phillips's late nti-slavory speech:
What means the applause that greeted the
treason of Phillips in Brooklyn? What is the
world to understand from such an exhibition
OF appreciation? Is this tho government of
two people, as different in our sentiments of
right and wrong as we are in our institutions?
when an impudent sooundrel, avowing himself
mot citizen," asserts that one of the States
OF the COnfederacy is not q government, it
would pass unheeded, did it not meet the an.
probation and enlistthe attention of a crowded
audience from sister State. Our North
ern brethren, by such exhibitions of approba-
tion, are tanning the flame Of civil discord,
which, In an unlocked for hour, will burst
forth into consuming conhagration. We
shall feed the now mouIderng embcrs with
every particle of fuel furnished by the North
ern fanatics. As long as conservatism sits
silent and listens coward-like to such treason.
we shall inform our readers of public senti-
ment at the North, and if the information in
flames, why let tho consequences fall upon the
authors and abettors. 1t is folly to point
Southern people to the Northern press as evil
dence that Brown is execrated at the North
A few more such public meetings as that which
applauded Phillips will satisfy the people Of
the South that the Union has served its pur-
pose, that we arc two different people, and that
all efforts at continued good feeling, under a
common government, are futile.

The Feeling in Virginia Concerning
John Brown,


The Richmond correspondent of tho New
York Herald writes thence, on tho 5tb, as fol-
lows:
Browns execution is as certain as that 10.
morrow's sun will rise. All statements made
70 you TO the contrary are without shadow Of
foundation. Procrastination of his sad doom
neeo not be assumed as basis for hope by
sae friends of the unfortunate conspirator.
Ihe policy which suggests this should not be-
understood as contemplating the question of
paioon or communication Of sentence. 1t in
wolves no such sequence necessarily. and No
such purpose is contemplated by this act of
olemency. He must die, no matter what The
influences In behalf of his pardon NAV be.
Let Browns friends, therefore, reconcile them
selves as best th,y can to his sad fate and spare
themselves any further trouble in the line of
ms pardon or communication of his sentence,
for 1t will all prove utterly vain.
dovernor Wise is still in the recent Of
scores Of letters pleading pardon for Old
Brown. Some guarantee the Presidency to his
Excellency as prize for this act of mercy !;
others parade Scriptural quotations on the sub
Ject OF taking away life, presenting that as
Gods prerogative alone; while others still re-
sort to threats against the life of tho Governor
should he suffer Brown to DO executed. Let
ters have been addressed to Brown himself,
urging. him to prolong his trial, and avert his
execution to the remotest period possible, that
MS release was inevitable, and probably near
at hand. The Inference from this is of course
purpose to rescue, which is just as practicable
as the efforts at obtaining pardon. To all
these pleadings and threats the Governor turns
deaf ear. His purpose is irrevoeably fixed,
and that is to hang Brown.

OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT OF GaIsI AT MAD
RID.-Madame Grisi lately met with q very
unfriendly reception in Madrid, from what
cause we are not informed. A Madrid letter
(no date) in the Independence Beige says that
at the performance Of Norma, fifty or sixty
persons, hired for the purpose, and placed in
little groups in the upper galleries, greeted her
with groans and noises of all kinds which COM
pletely drowned the voices of Madame Grisi
and Mario. The uproarwas at its hight at
the commencement of the duet in the second
act. Potatoes were then thrown from the up
per galleries, falling at tho feet Of Madame
Grisi, and rebOunding into the pit. Tho pub
lie in tho boxes and other parts of the house
rose Indignantly to protest against such an
outrage, but Madame Grisi withdrew, her face
bathed in tears. Mario attempted for some
seconds to brave the storm, but was obliged to
leave tho stage. One Of the employees Of the
theater came forword to announce that the
performance would not be continued, Madame
Grisi having tainted away, overcome with
