NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. II.
Joshua II. Gfddings.

There is good old man living in the
State of Ohio, whose name is Joshua r.
Giddings. His hair has been whitened
in the service of his country. For years
sni years he was representative in Con-
Yrc:s, and whether inside that body or
outside of It, his voice has ever been rails
ed, and his hands employed, as we think,
in behalf of the Right. Always the elo-
auent and Jealous advocate OF Free Speech
and Free Men, he has done much towards
the building up of great Political Party
which embodies his sentiments, and which
dare promulge and defend them. In the
belief that the system of Slavery, as it ex-
lists in our country, is great and grievous
wrong, he has steadily opposed its growth,
and sympathizcd with the unfortunate
victims upon whom Its chains are fast
encd. For these reasons, we admire Joshua
Il. Giidings for these reasons, the Slave
Democracy hate and despise him. We
are not surprised, therefore, to find the
following liberal reward offered for his
body or head, by some chivalric Virgin
ian, who was doubtless scared out of his
boots by the Harper's Ferry Insurrection: :
500 REWARD Joshua 4. Giddings, hav-
ing openly declared himself a Traitor in lee
ture at Philadelphia, the 23th of October,
and there being no process strange to say. by
which he can be brought TO justice, propose
to be one of one hundred to raise $4,000 for
bis safe delivery in Richmond, or S., 600 for
ehe production Of his head. I do not regard
this proposition, extraordinary as it may at
first seem, either unjust ar uHmercifH The
saw of God and the Constitution OF his couH-
:ry both condemn him to death.
For satisfactory reasons Withhold my name
from the public. bat it is in the hands of the
Editor OF the Richmond Whig. There viii
be no difficulty, l am sure, in raising the
$4,000 upon reasonable prospect Of getting
the said Giddiugs 70 this city.
RtcImona, November /, 1858.
The Paper which publishes this incitc-
ment to Kidnapping and murder is the
Richmond Wing. We have known Nor
thern miscreants to engage in the business
Of nigger-catching for much less rewards
than this; and he who would do that
would do anything for money. In these
hard times, the sum Of S10,000.00 is not
20 be sneezed at, and the taking of live
Republican like Giddings, would, in the
South, be considered a respectable bust
ness. VIII not some Northern man with
Southern principles distinguish himself
In the attempt?

conflict until one or the other is compelled to
yield TO the superior force OF the other.
From the ". Y. Herald, Of Nor. 8.
''Another Southern correspondent writes
from Norfolk in the following alarming strain:
The deepest interest is taken here in the
New ork elections; and if they should go for
the Black Republicans. there will be an almost
universal sentiment in favor of immediate Sc
cesslon, ''peaceably if can, forcibly if we
must There can be no doubt that if the
revolutionary ticket of Seward should be cleo
ted in this State to-day, the effect on the pub
lie mind OF the South viii be most disastrous.
Already the evaporation is very great. Let
the ingredient of Republican victory in New
\ ork State be thrown into the cup of South
ern Indignation, and it Will be sure to over
flow"
''If the Black Republican revolutionary tick
ct should be elected in New York and New
Jersey, the news will fall on the ear of the
South like the knell of a departed Union, and
the excitement Will speedily reach crisis and
assume practical shape which will appall
and astound the people of the North"
Now that the ingredient of an Opposi-
tion Victory has been thrown into the cup
of Southern ndignation-and thrown into
it, too, in the very teeth of a warning to
the contrary-it remains to be seen wheth-
er the cup will overflow. Our private
opinion is that it will not. If ANYBODY
doubts the correctness of our opinion, and
wishes to get lively bet upon the sub
ject, he will know where to find US

SAD OCCURRENCES IN WASHINGTON
CTrY.-The Washington Star. of Thurs
day, says This morning, about I03 o.
clock, a young man named Lewis IL. Jones
son Of the late George Jones, late clerk m
the Land Office, shot himself ut the house
OF his mother, on New \ ork avenue. From
what we can learn, his course of life was
characterized by considerable irregularity.
which was cause of great grief to an ex-
cellent mother, who frequently rcmon-
strated with him. This morning she had
again been in conversation with him in re
latlon to his Irregularities, and concluded
her maternal counsels by embracing and
kissing him, when he stepped back few
feet and drawing a Derringer pistol from
his pocket, and pointing it to his head. ex-
claimed, III kill myself" and instantly
| discharged the weapon into his forehead.
The ball entered near the center of his
| forehead and traversed the brain, finally
| lodging at the base of the skull. near the
back of the neck. Young Jones IS de-
scribed as youth Of very impulsive nature
and accustomed from boy to make use of
| threats of self-destruction, in the presence
OF his family, whenever his desires were
resisted which were never intended to be
carried out, but rather to frighten his fam
lily.

y CURIOUS CASE OF PRIsoN ETIQUETTE
recently occurred in Delaware A num-
Der Of prisoners broke jail, and among
them was one named Turner, under SEN
tence Of death for rape. He called upon
the Attorney-General, cody seated himself
in his Office and informed the gentleman
that a number of prisoners had escaped,
among them himself; that he was prepared
to 90 back again, whenever he could be
assured that he would be safe in so doing
Several Of his social companions had been
discharged, and in their stead woman
had been i'll jail who was afflicted with
scarlet fever; he had formally notified the
dcputy-sheritf that if such conduct was
persisted III he would feel obliged to change
his quarters, and that, receiving no salts
factory evidence, on the part of the officers
Of the Jail, that his grievances would re-
ceive attention, he had availed himself of
the first favorable opportunity of giving
a practical turn TO his indignation by leay-
ing the premises. He did not care straw
about the sentence of death hanging over
him, but he didn't want to catch the scar

More Proofs .

IroofS OF the compIcIty OF leading
Republicans" in the Harpers Ferry Gin
surrection," says the Cambria Tribune,
are daily increasing. The following let
ters, now in the possession of New York
reporter-not 'Col." Forbes-are deemed
unequivocal proof of the guilt of at least
three Of them, Seward, Giddings and vii
son. These letters were so deep down in
one Of the captured carpet-bags that it
took some time before they could be
reached. sour Democratic cotemporaries
viii not fail TO observe that they are very
incendiary in their nature. The first is
letter from Senator Seward, who is now
travelling in Egypt:
EGYPT, 1859
Dear Brown: l will try to be home in time
for our little affair in Virginia. l propose
bringing a company of Zouaves to assist Us.
Go Oh in your glorious work, ! send -,

The next letter is from that "whitc-
headed Abolitionist," ," Joshua r. Giddings,
and is still more incendiaryin tone Read ::
CLEVELAND, 1859.
Dear Sir: l VIII be at Harper's Ferry with
10000 Republicans in time to carry out our
plan. Senator Wade Will shoot the President
and Grow will blow up the Capitol. Its all
right Nuns the word. Yours, J. r. q.

TERRIBLE MARINE DIsAsTER-THE

important item Of news is taken from the
Liverpool DaHy Post, Of the 9th of Octo-
Der, copy Of which was obtained by the
steamer North american:
The pubic will learn with overwhelming
griefthat the splendid vessel the Tie Char

fear is only too true. OF upwards Of four
hundred persons who were on board, only
ten are said to have been saved. There is
some hope, however that this statement is
exaggerated ; but under the circumstances,
the loss of life, it is feared, has been i'm
menSe.
The Royal Charter had about half a mil
lion sterling in gold on Board
When the disaster took place is not

along the coast yesterday, that the Chester

Of the dead had been washed ashore.

CURED is two or three miles westward of
