by ladder to the room of police officer, killed
him and his wife, and few hours afterwards
murdered an aged Frenchman. Besides this, he
had committed an almost incredible number Of
thefts and robberies. He recovered from the

- Mills Equestrian Statue of WASHING
TON, was inaugurated at the capital of the coun-
try, on the 22d, Washington's birthday, with
the 'pomp and circumstance incident to such oc-
casions. Senator HAMMOND presided the Ma

One little circumstance occurred which is wor-
thy of mention as an illustration of 'unterrifed
democracy in our free country. At the close Of
the Masonic rites, the Grand Master handed the
gayel to President BUCHANAN, who stepped for
ward and was closing the ceremonies with some
spirited remarks, when little fellow in the
crowd cried out-'Good for old Buck'-bring-
ing down the assembled thousands uproariously,
at the expense of his bachelorship, who Joined
in the humor heartily. Thus, Young America
treats the proudest dignitary Of the land with
the familiarity of fellow school boy.

- Hon. P. R. SrARKE, of Mississippi, ha!
been appointed Commissioner by his State tc
convey to Virginia, resolutions favoringa South
ern Convention to meet at Atlanta on the frs
? Monday of next June. In performing this duty
he has briefly, but very clearly defined the po
stion of Mississippi, which is much the same
that South Carolina occupies. The Convention
is earnestly desired by her, as is clear from he
having already appointed delegates to it. w
give an extract from Mr.. SrARKE's communica
ton to Gov. LETcHER, laying the Mississippi re
!, solutions before the Virginia Legislature. Afte
expressing the sympathies felt by his State fo
Virginia. and the other border States, he says

States persist in the denial of our rights in tn
common Territories of the Union, and continue t.
repeat their agressions with more and more ag
gravation-and, above all, apprehending 'th
election of q President Of the United States b,

there exists an irreconcileable conflict betweel
the two sections in reference to their respective
systems of labor, and with an avowed purpose o
hostility to the institution Of slavery as it pre-

, the time has surely come when she should con

done in an event boding so much mischief ant
calamity to their rights and interests. She vii
, deplore, as much as any State in this Union, tn
necessity of dssolving the constitutional tie
which bind them in one common government, ant
she hopes and believes that timely council wit
, her sister States of the South, will devise som

If Mississippi had been influenced by deter
minaton or even desire to withdraw from thi
sisterhood of States, am very sure that sh
would have selected another agent to placed he
cause before the State of Virginia.
