REMARKABLE ARREST FOR A MUIR
DER. COMMITTED SEVEN YEARS

A"o'
The New Orleans Bee describes at
great length the circumstances attending
the arrest of Valleor Vallot, in that city,
few days since, for murder committed
in 1858. Among the many wealthy
families engaged in rearing and dealing
in cattle in the Attakapas district, La
fayette parish, those of Vallot and
Ditrez held a prominent place, and for a
long time had been extremely hostile to
each other. On the 18th of July, 1853,
Sosthene Ditrez, young man of twenty,
having found in one of the Vallot's a
boy of sixteen, successful rival for the
hand Of a young lady, slapped him in
the face. aValleor, who was five years
older than his brother, hearing of the in
suit that had been offered him, on meet
ing him in a coffee house, at once
knocked him down with cane. The
blow proved instanteously fatal, where
upon the involuntary assassin, for he
had not intended to kill his victim, fed
to Cuba. He was soon followed, thither
by his young wife, and procured a
respectable office under the Government.

having become intimate with young
Spanish nobleman, was presented by
him with a magnificent cane, which
eventually proved the means of his de
lection In 1859 he returned to the
United States, but from the time that
he landed he seems to have labored
under continual apprehension
On arriving in New Orleans he did not
venture to stop at any respectable hotel
but took up his abode-having changed
his name-at a low drinking saloon, kept
by Gascon named Jean Marie, where
he was visited by his friends. Soon af-
ter he left the city and went to a farm
near Brookhayen, Miss, where he OBJ
tanned board for himself and wife. He
frequently, however, made visits. to New
Orleans, and was foolish enough to gam
BILE in the J can Marie, and to make him
confdant of his crime. On a certain
occasion he lost $500 at cards, for por
ton of which he left his cane with hi:

refused to give it up, and Vallot was
obliged to call in the aid of officers

the police, few days after, and the
young man was arrested at BrookhaVer

Pierre Soule as his counsel.

last and Rest Fashion,

1t is stated that the latest fashion an
nounced from Europe, is that of going
to church in very plain dress. Some of
the ladies Of the first circle go up to
worship in plain calico. 1t is thus
sought to encourage the attendance of
the poor, who have hitherto withheld
their presence for lack of Sunday clothes.
A sensible, not to say Christian idea,
and will be more powerfully conducive
to the promotion of religion among the
masses than any other outside movement
we can conceive of, not to speak of the
influence it will have npon the upper
classes themselves; in removing from
their immediate eye the surroundings of
vanity which abominate our fashionable
churches, and preparing them to receive
with meekness the ingrafted word which
is able to save their souls. Over the
portals of every Christian sanctuary it
should be written: ''The rich and the
poor must meet together; the Lord is
the maker of them all

An Awful Warning.

An AW1u1 " arl1nS.
The Baltimore Clipper of Thursday,
says we heard yesterday, from an entirely
reliable and responsible source, the par
ticulars of an occurrence which can only
be looked upon as an instance Of Divine
rebuke for taking the name of the AL
mighty in justification of a falsehood.-
We refrain from mentioning names
through consideration of the parties, who
are respectable persons, residing in the
south western section of the city. 1t
appears that few days since the aunt
of young girl about eighteen years of
age, accused her of having been guilty
ofsome misconduct, which she positively
denied, and on being again accused, she
called upon God to strike her blind if
she was not telling the truth. In mo-
ment after, according to her own state
ment, film seemed to pass before her
eyes, ana in the course of five minutes
she was totally blind, and has contin-
ued sightless ever since. The afflicted
victim of her own impiety confessed that
she had called upon her Maker to jus
tify her in what was falsehood. May
not this be considered as terrible in
stance of Divine wrath, and may not the
thoughtless take warning?

Truth Never Dies.

Great principles are immortal. Ema-
mating from the Divine mind, their ex-
istence is eternal. You may entomb
them under the superstition of ages; you
may burn them, but they will rise again.
Their supremacy must be recognized
Their empire must be eternal. Our fa-
theirs felt this. In the prison and at the
stake, it absorbed them. With the spirit
of Christian martyrdom they threw their
great principles into the public mind
Society was startled at their boldness and
novelty The intelligence and piety OF
the age for the season repudiated them
as destructive to all order and morality
Still they worked.

A STAMPEDE in southern indiana.

The old German daily newspaper, the
Tolksbode, of Evansville, Indiana, which
has been Democratic in politics from its
first issue, has hoisted the names of Lin
coin and Hamlin, and is doing battle val
iantly for the Republican cause. The
Tolksbode was Anti-Lecompton during
the pendency of that issue, and has now
separated itself entirely from the unclean
party which it has served so long. The
result of it's movement has been tre-
mendous stampede of German voters in
Southern Indiana and the Wabash coun-
ties of Illinois, to the Republican ranks

Singular Coincidence.
A Liverpool paper, describing Che Sic

A Liverpool paper, describing Che Sic
ilian revolution, says:
It is worth noting that the 10Th of
May, the date of the battle of Alcamo,
was the anniversary Of the foulest wrong
ever committed by despot against his
own subjects. The King had appointed
that day for the ceremony of swearing to
observe the constitution he had been
compelled to grant. Over night, how-
ever, he had stationed troops with can.
non, loaded with grape, in all the ave-
nues leading to the Council hall. The
people, sensible that treachery was in
tended, threw up barricades. When all
were awaiting the coming of the King,
three shots were fired by police agents.
as a signal. Suddenly the troops
emerged from their concealment, and
fred volley after volley upon the people.
The historian of the "Vicissitudes of
Italy," relates that ''the lazzaroni, like
obscene birds of prey, gathered to the
scene of devastation, and glutted their
brutal instincts to the full. Shops were
burst open, houses mnsacked, the sick
murdered in their beds, the wounded
hurled from the windows, babes torn
from their mothers breasts and thrown
into wells. The shrieks of outraged wo-
men, the walls of dying children, the
hoarse shouts of the Swiss soldiery, vain
prayers for mercy, curses, blows, the
thunder of artillery from the forts COM
manding the town, all blending in one
fearful retrospect of horror, stamp tie
18th of May with an individuality TO
which few scenes in modern history can
lay claim" The King, besought by his
Ministers and the ambassadors of foreign
powers, could only exclaim in brutal tri-
umph cat last l have a demonstration
in nv turn"

Pomeroy, land of rock and river,
Lofty hills and winding wales,
On whose breast the moonbeams quiver,
In whose depths the sunlight fades,
In thy confines there is hidden
One bright gem of untold worth,
And none fairer meets our vision;
None more pure are on the earth.
Pomeroy, land of greenest verdure,
Where the beech and wild ash grow,
And the lofty cliffs oerhanging,
Cast their shadows far below;
On thy breast a flower is blooming,
Fore whose beauty others fall,
That year on year its power returning,
Is seen, admired, and loved by all.
Pomeroy, land of troubled waters,
When of erst the flood ragged high,
Ger thy shores in madness rolling,
Sweeping every barrier by;
At her feet they bowed submission,
In full content to there abide,
And the power that guides the torrent,
Raised his wand and stayed the tide!
Pomeroy, land of dear remembrance, :
Be it thy great and highest boast,
Of her whose virtues am singing,
"Who kno,o her best-loue her the most,
And all the words that may be written,
By hearts that melt or those that freeze
In present years, or ages olden,
Can write or say no more than these.
Pomeroy, every moment bears me
Further from thy rugged shore,
And perhaps my failing vision
May rest on thee, no, nevermore;
Yet, as pay this willing tribute
Which may one pang of grief destroy,
I make this frank and free confession:
81 leave my heart with thee, Pomeroy.'
June 13, 1860.

From the Louisville Journal

The Republican organs, by common
consent, designate their candidate for the
Presidency as "Honest Old Abe. we
are by no means disposed to deny his
right to the designation. We know
him personally, and have observed his
public course, and however strongly we
may condemn some of the doctrines tc
which he is committed, we have at nc
time seen reasons to doubt his honesty
We believe that he has the good of his
country at heart.
This much we take pleasure in saying
in his behalf.

1.-The Advantage of Having Intelh-

GA, D. R. writes from Leavenworth,
Kansas, to the Boston Journal:
A Republican Postmaster in this vi
cinity recently received letter from the
publishers of the Ohio Statesman-a
staunch Democratic organ-requestlng
the names of few leading and infuen-
tial Democrats within the range of his
office, In reply, he sent the names of
three Missourians, who can neither read
nor write a single word. The return
mail brought them each confidential
Democratic circular, containing sugges-
ton as to the best method Of defeating
the Republicans in the coming campaign
and soliciting subscriptions fer the pa
per. The Jealous but unlettered Demo
Gratis were quite surprised by the "letters
the first they received for many years
and one of them suggested that they
were probably printed as a delicate com
pliment to their known inability to read!
They are so vain of their newly discov-
cred fame that they exhibit the docu-
ments to all their neighbors without
distinction of party, to the great amuse-
ment Of the Republicans, and the intense
disgust of their Democratic brethren who
| can read.

IA We noticed few days ago. a
Threshing Machine on its way into the country,
manufactured by Otis Hall s. Co., of this city,
that for beauty of finish we think it would be a
difficult matter to beat. But it is for their in.
trinsic merits and solid worth that the machines
made by these gentlemen, are more highly val
ued than for their external appearance We
have been told by farmers who have tried them
that there is no machine made that does better
work or more of it, than the one got up here at
the Vulcan Iron Works. This being the case, we
hope that the practice of going abroad for these
useful articles, will soon go out of fashion They
certainly can be afforded cheaper here than
they can where timber is scarce, and the advan-
tages for manufacturing them not favorable
as they are here. Farmers wishing to get a
Threshing Machine will do well to give the

Home Again.-Gen. Luther A. Cole re-
turned on Wednesday last from Pixies Peak,
having been absent some six weeks. He left
Denver City on the It'll inst, making the trip
from there here in little less than nine days.
We have seen him but moment and therefore
have had no opportunity to learn the full partic-
ulars of his trip and what he has to say about
the famous gold diggings. We understand, how
ever, that he reports the Watertown boys as all
well and apparently prospering Denver City,
which was small and Insignificant village
when he was there little over a year ago, has
now grown to be an important and extensive
point and boasts of quite a number of large
blocks of stores and dwellings. The Pixies
Peak coin, of which he brought sons specimens
with him, are unlike any we ever saw before in
every particular but one and that is shape The
gold is of much lighter color than that We are
in the habit of seeing. Still, that is no objec-
ton The main question is, is it plenty? If it
is, people will not be very apt to let the little
matter of color stand in the way of their going
there after it,

to the advertisement of these gentlemen in

and is known from one end of East Water Street
to the other, as one Of the best business men in
town. Mr.. Crosby has been there but few
years, yet sufficient length Of time to estab-

and build up an extensive and profitable trade.

Republican Chub-The Republicans of
this city met and organized Club some little
time ago, and though there are quite large
number of names enrolled upon its list Of mem
bars, yet great many more should be added.
Some of the most active Republicans in town
have never attended any of the meetings, but
from what cause we are unable to state. We
do know, however, that it is not because they
not with US in our advocacy Of Lincoln and
Hamlin, They are men who are willing to
make any sacrifice of time and money to fur
Their the interests of the Republican cause and
we trust that they will at once become mem
bers Of the Club and participate in its meetings.
Much more can be done through such means,
than there can be single handed and alone,
each man acting upon his own responsibility.
The club meets this Friday evening in Cole'a
lower hall, and we trust there will be gen eral
attendance of the Republicans of the city.
We give below, for their information, list OF
the officers of the Club, together with the Con-
