made an unlucky choice, as far they were con-
cerned, in eecting the safe containing $4,000 from
the car, for right by its side another safe in
which was deposited $l39,OOO. They might have
had one just as we'll as the other.

INDIAN TROUBLES IN ARIzoNA.-The st. Louis
Republican has a letter from Tubac, dated March
30, which states that the Indians who carried
captive Mrs. Page and a child, have brought back
the child for exchange, but state Mrs. Page had
been killed by the party which captured her.
These Indians are, however, described as so cum
ming and deceitful that no reliance is to be placed
upon their word. Their story may be mere ruse,
and after recovering all the Indian prisoners, they
will quite likely produce the woman and demand
her ransom. The Indian depredations are de-
scrbed being perperated all over the Territory,
and of the American settlers were leaving for
California finding life and property too insecure to
remain. The others deserting the farms and
moving into the towns, fearing for their women
and children as well as for their property.

From CharlestOn--ArriEal of Delegates
Prospects of Hunter--President Buchanan
Declines the Nomination. .Sc.

CHARLESTON, April 10, lSG0.-Deegates and out
siders are arriving by the thousand, and all is
hustle and excitement. Douglas has the largest
outside pressure, and his friends talk confidently;
but this confidence is believed to be affected
1t is believed that Hunter will have nearly the
combined vote Of the South; but no one attempts
to predict the final result. Hunters friends want
the nomination first, and platform afterwards; but
the Convention will not stand this. The platform
will be constructed and the candidate put upon it.
Mr.. BocOck, of Virginia, will, it is understood, be
permanent Chairman of the Convention. He is a
strong Hunter man.
President Buchanan has written a letter, which
is now in the hands of a delegate from Pennsylva-
mia, positively and peremptorily declining the use
OF his name for denomination. Douglas friends are
circulating report that the letter contains fling
at the "Little Giant" but there is not word OF
truth in it. On Saturday quite number of North
ern delegates meet to confer in regard to the
course they intend to pursue. Pennsylvania and
New \ ork will vote as unit. The Mercury is still
disinclined to welcome the Convention, and would
prefer disunion to the nomination of Douglas
The "rogues' gallery" of daguerreotvpes, at the
lower guardhouse, will enable;the detectives to
embrace a few of the careless ones Ak extra
police force of fifty has been detailed for the
conv ntion term, and will assist the ordinary hun
dred and fifty officers to preserve order. Very op-
portunely, fellow was sentenced last Saturday to
be hung for highway robbery in this city. Let
other thieves take warning.

however was withdrawn at the request of several

ANOTHER SIcKLEs CAsE-ALMosr MURDER
A case of seduction in GrOton, Tompkins county,
which has just come to light, is the subject OF a
great deal of anxiety among the friends of the par
ties and Indignation among the community. The
facts of the case are, near gather them,
as follows: Something more than year ago
merchant of that town, whose previous intrigues
with the fair sex had rendered him obnoxious to
large portion of the community, made a public
profession of religion and joined the Methodist
Church, and succeeded in making people believe
that he really meant to lead a better life. His
victim, the wife of a respectable and industrious
machinist, belonged to the same church, and
port says they were thrown much together at
prayer meetings and became very intimate, so
much so that it became the subject of general re-
mark, and finally came to the of her husband.
His suspicious were excited, but he did not be-
lieve his wife unfathiul to him, until last Wednes
day evening, on coming home, he found the house
deserted, and on instituting search found the mer
chant anG his wife together at or barn
standing in field some distance from the house.
The outraged husband knocked the merchant down
and jumped upon his face with both feet, breaking
the bridge OF his nose and cutting his face in a
shocking manner. The merchant begged for his
life, but the husband continued to stamp him until
he supposed life extinct when he took his faith
less wife home and informed one of his neighbors
of the circumstances, and that he supposed he had
killed the merchant and he had better see to it =.
The next morning some of the neighbors went to
the spot Indicated and found that the man had not
been killed, but had come to and crawled home, as
they easily found by the blood along his route
The machinists wife says that she and the merchant
have met clandestinely for the last six or eight
months. She has been sent to her friends. The
affair has made the husband insane and he has since
made one or two attempts to go to the house of the
merchant with the avewed intention of taking his
life, but has been restrained by friends. The mer-
chant has been taken away from Groton and secreted
in Homer or Cortland, to keep him from the ven
geance of the man whose domestic happiness he has
ruined.-Auburn NJ P.) Advertiser.

FIVE NEGROES KILLED.-We regret to learn that
a sad scene was enacted in Columbia county, on
Monday. A crazy negro man, belonging to Mrs.
Pace, went to the neighboring plantation owned
by COL T. Clanton, and brutay murdered four
negroes. One was an old woman, and the others
were children. Mr.. Wilmington, Col Clanton's
overseer, hearing the disturbance, promptly pro-
ceeded to the spot, and the crazy negro made a
desperate attempt to kill him. The overseer shot
the crazy negro, and in that way arrested farther
destruction of life. A coruners inquest was held
on the dead bodies, and the jury rendered verdict
in accordance with the above facts. The jury,
also, after hearing the evidence in the case, de-
clared that Mr.. Wilmington, the overseer, was
fully justified in shooting the negro.-AugWsta

THE TRIAL OF Rev. j. $. HARDIN.-The third
trial of Mr.. Hardin, for poisoning his wife, was
commenced in Belyidere, N. j., on the morning of
the 18th. There are features about the
case, although two events have lately occurred in
the history of this case which may have a very
important bearing upon its termination. The first
is the appointment Of Prosecuting Attor-
ney for the county, James NJ. Robeson, Esq, and
the second, the death of most important and ma
terial witness for the State Mr.. Ramsey. Judge
Sharp, who sat upon the bench at the last term Of
the court, lost his life at Easton, Pa on the 9th of
March last, by the explosion of the little steamer
Alfred Thomas; his place on the bench is now
filled by his brother Jacob.

ADVANTAGES OF Quick TIME.-By the recent arri-
val of the Pony Express, despatch was received
dated San Francisco, the 4th, announcing the arri-
val at that port of the clipper ship Andrew Jack
son, 50 days from New York. This news doubtless
went forward to the latter city, and thus the owners
of the fleet vessel enabled to hear of her arr
val at destination in hundred days from the
time they saw the ship at the wharf in New York
Formerly no return was expected of a vessel arri-
we'd in less than six months but now by the aid of
horse-fesh and the telegraph, the arrival of
vessel, after voyage of $4,000 miles, is known to
her owners in little over half that time.
