Z EF A terrible affair has recently &C.
Cured in st. Louis. AS Mr.. Joseph
Charles, one Of the most prominent bus
mess men of the city, and a member oil
the firm of Charles & Blow, was qnietly
walking the street, man named Thorn
ton, without a word of warning, stepped
mp and shot him several times with a
pistol, inHicting wounds which must, ere
this, have proven fatal. The proyocation
seems to have been an old affair. A
Bank OF which Mr.. Charles was Presi-
dent, was robbed several years since, and
Thornton, who was employed in the
house, was suspected. Mr.. Charles APP
pcared against him as witness, but Thorn
ton was not convicted. The late affair
has created tremendous excitement, and
the military had to be called out to gaurd
the Jail, to prevent the mob from lynch
ing Thornton. He is in tight place as
a jury will in all probability hang him
or, if they should fail, a mob will attend
to his case.

II. Clay PATE.-Well-this fellow is
advertised even in Pro Slavery papers, as
a swindler. lie did very naughty things
at Westport, and fled thereafter to the
Old Dominion. But the St. Louis and
st. Joseph papers say he will be demand
ed by the Governor Of Missouri, and pun
ished. May be so The st. Joseph
journal. describing his escape, says:
Upon the boat reaching Jefferson City.
Pate and his companion took the cars for
St. Louis. When they arrived there,
Pate left orders for his pony to be sent by
express to Norfolk, Va, and decamped
with the negro he had stolen, for parts
unknown-although it is supposed he is
making tracks for the Old Dominion.
The telegraph advised the authorities of
the various towns through which he might
pass, to arrest and deliver the fugitive mp
to Justice. The main sufferer in this
matter, is DR.. Morris, who has lost $500
in money. and property valued at ST.
000. This fellow, Pate, is one of the
most blatant National Democratic pre-
tended Pro-Slavery demagogucs in the
whole country. Should he succeed in
reaching Virginia, a requisition viii be
made upon Gov. Wise for his delivery to
the authorities of Missouri.

We saw buckskin hTcechcs a rlnuas aTonnd;

WoN'T Do.-Some of the Republican
papers are charging that the Democrats
and Know Nothings of Massachusetts,
united, to carry tho naturalization amend
ment to the Constitution Of that State, in
order to cast a stigma upon the Rspubli-
can party. This thing won't do. In the
first place. the Legislature that proposed
the amendment, was almost entirely Re-
publican and in the second place, the
Republicans have very large majority
Of votes in the State, over the Democrats
anG Know Nothings combined. So that
the Republicans of Massachusetts,, and
they alone, are responsible for that act,
from beginning to end. But the Repub-
licans of nearly every other State protes-
ted against it, and are therefore not re-
sponsible for what Massachusetts did.
Any attempt to throw the blame upon
the Democrats and Know Nothings, is
simply ridiculous.

~ At the commencement of the gold
emigration, we had supposed that it
would be composed, for the most part, Of
ruffians and outlaws but from what we
have seen, and heard from others, we find
that majority of the emigrants, are of
the honest, and for a great part. the bot
ter, class of communicable real bone
and sinew, and an honor and benefit to
any community. Many of them mort
gagged their little property. to go to the
mines, in the hope of lettering their con-
dition and now they are returning, ru-
ined. One who has been on the plains,
says it is pitiful to behold these persons.
While many are able to stand their losses,
still more are not, and their disappoint-
ment must be keenly felt by their fami.
lies, as well as themselves. There is q
fearful responsibility resting upon those
who have been instrumental in causing
this misery.

IF A daily line Of packets has been
arranged to run from Jefferson City, in
connection with the Pacific Railroad, to
Council Bluffs and Omaha. They have
some eight or ten of the largest. finest
and best boats in the river, to form this
line. Among them, we notice the names
of the Peerless, Ben Lewis, A. B. Cham
bers, Emma, j. D. Perry. D. A. Janua-
ry, South Wester. SEy-LOrk and Sioux
City. Several of them have already
passed up. This. we presume. is an op-
position line to the Hannibal and st.
Joseph Railroad. For travel and trade,
it viii be glorious. putting down passage
and freight to little or nothing; but it
must speedily be death to the boats. as
we do not believe they can stand it long.

borne conspicuous part in the political
affairs of our sister Territory, writes from
Fort Kearney, on the 10Th of April, as
follows:
News from the mines are most fiat
toring. a man passed here day or two
since with 81 700 tn dist. The men
bringing bad reports never sac the miaes.
Most of them ran ont Of provisions and
were forced to turn back. and must have

have already passed Fort Kearney for the
mines, and God only knows how many
are behind.

WASHINGTON, May 8.
Gov. Wise's last letter is thought by
the politicians here TO have finished his
Presidential prospects. if he had any be-
fore it was written. Hunters shrewd 81
lence has won the day over him. Wise
and Douglas have fraternized for couple
Of years. but they separated on Congress
sional Non-Intervention Mr.. Douglas
says to his friends that he will support
Wise, or Hunter. or Breckenridge, but not
a man known as an offensive Lecompton-
lite, nor a decided Interventionist. Mr..
Breckenridgc's friends are in high spirits,
for they say that no first-elass politician
in the party has stood upon the fence so
cleverly as he, on the issues which incon-
venieatly divide North and South. The
friends of Daniel S. Dickinson are busy
in laying their plans for his nomination.
If a Northern man is to get the nomina-
ton at the hands of the Charleston Con-
vention, who will stand a better chance
than " Scripture Dick ?" He has not
been mixed up in the recent quarrels Of
the party, and will be acceptable to the
South.
Mr.. Guthrie's cause is entirely in the
hands of Pclc; Washington. of this city,
and is a moonshine speculation. All the
various candidates have got the idea
into their heads that it is poor policy to
make any noise yet, and there is complete
silence on the subject, and only an insider.

~ While the returning emigration
is pouring in from the plains. we have
been led to wonder what has become of
those poor, infatuated beings, who started
out in mid-winter, with hand-carts, wheel
barrows, or with only knapsacks. in which
were but few provisions ! They must
have gone far on the way, before they
met the returning tide. and perhaps many
of them reached the mines. While so
many who went well provided have been
reduced 10 a suffering condition, what
must be the fate OF those poor fellows?
