SECRET MuRDER.-The body of a murdered
man was found one mile west of Rough and
Ready, on Thursday last. 1t was partly COW
cred with leaves and lying in a gulch former
ly known as Macy's Rayine The body was
that of a very large man, weighing l8o or
100 pounds. He had on pair of boots of
quality betwixt the coarse and fine, and, be-
side respectable suit otherwise, a substan-
tal black coat of the kind which NAV be
turned and worn in two ways. A large
bowie knife was at his side, and in his pocket
the following articles: A bundle of new hand
kerchiefs, and part of a candle two or three
of the handkerchief were marked with wick,
as if they had been used in extinguishing a
candle, also there was sponge which had
been saturated with chloroform; also piece
of brown paper, with the words, written in
pencil, ALAS, Frank Freeman, the horse
thief" His blankets were found some dis
tance from the rayine, and there was evidence
that he had been dragged some forty or fifty
yards. There was a distinct shot through his
head, the ball entering behind the ear and
coming out at or near the forehead The
body was considerably deeomposed
Our informants are couple of miners
working lear the ravine They say that one
night, couple Of weeks ago, they heard
shot in the night in the direction where the
body was found, but paid no attention to it,
They finally went to the spot where the BODY
was lying, in order to see what it was that
smelt SO badly, and had to search some time
before they could find it, it having been so
etfeetually hidden.
Mr.. PomerOy, who keeps a store at Rough
and Ready, says that, while he was clerk
for Estll Il Co. at the State Prison. there was
a man in confinement there for horse stealing.
named Frank freeman, whose countenanee
he recollects very well, but whether this
body was that of Frank Freeman he cannot
say, as the features were much decomposed
The size eorresponded to that of Freeman.
This murder is mystery, but the proba-
ollity is that, if it was Frank Freeman who
was killed, as the writing in his pocket would
seem to indicate, he was murdered by some
companion or companions who desired his
money and knew he had it. Three emptv
oueAsh'n purses were found about him, and
a ereVielng spoon, the latter a pretty good
indication that he had been mining. 1t NAV
be that he had been successful and wos ~
bed as above conjectured. 10 'O0-

SENATOR SUMNER-This gentleman made a
speech in the Senate, on the 3lst May, on the
question of the admission OF Kansas, which
was pronounced to be the most bitter, the
most ultra. and the most malignant ever de-
livered in that body If such be the fact, it
proves Sumner to be one of those men who
are not great enough to forget themselves in
the cause which they espouse, or to rise, In
the discussion of public questions, above the
passions and prejudces of the hour. 1t
proves that he still smarts under the blows
of Brooks, and holding the entire South res
ponsible for the act of one man, vents his
long pent-up wrath against Southern charac.
ter, Southern institutions and Southern men.

ceived from the hands of one who had his
own personal grievance to avenge and insult

fer Meantime, Death has removed his enc
my, and it might be supposed that he would
bury his wrongs. if such they were, in the
grave Of his now he'll pless foe On the con-
trary, it would seem, that he cultvates
morbid hate for men who had nothing to do
with the unfortunate difficulty in which he
and Brooks were engaged transferring his
vengeance from the dead to the living, and
with q worse than Indian unreasonableness
of revenge, because it is that of a civilized
man, would hold an entire people accounta-
ble for the act of one only of their number.
We confess We expected something better
of Mr.. Sumner. We expected speech wor
| thy of strong and well cultivated intellect.
We expected something consonant with the
dignity of the Senate. The TRADE of Sena-
tor Wigfall, of Texas. against Northern men,
as such, was regarded everywhere with
feelings of indignation, and it was hoped
that a similar display would not be again
made in that body.
We shall not, however, undertake to de-
nounce Senator Sumner in advance. 1t may
be that he is misrepresented. We shall wait
till We see his speech.

The Rail-Splitting and UniOn-Splitling
Candidate,

The news is that one OF the identical rails
split by Abe Lincoln in Illinois, in his rail-
splitting days, is to be sent to California, for
exhibition, description and remark, during
the coming campaign for the Presidency. 1t
will furnish the theme Of many discourse
from the stump, and many panegyric from
the tripod. See what this great man did
this Titanic Republican He actually split
rails for his living Well suppose he did ?
There are thousands of just as good men as
Abe Lincoln splitting rails now. And they
had far better be splitting rails. as they are,
than running on the Republican ticket for
the Presidency. 1t is credit to a man to
earn his bread by the sweat Of his brow, but
it is no credit to him to endanger the peace
Of his country and turn traitor to the memory
of his forefathers by the advocacy Of princi-
Piles which he knows can have but the one
disastrous tendency. Whether a man has
grown up from the lap of luxury or hewed
and split his way through the ron ghnesses of
adverse fortune, he is equally to be contemn-
ed, II he aims blow at the tranquility OF his
country. This man Abe Lincoln has declared
that the Free and the Slave States of this
Union cannot exist together that they must
all be free or all slave, and he is for making
them all free In other words he and his
party have declared wer against the South,
and intend. if possible, by numerical su ?
periOrity to bring things to such pass that
the Southern States cannot remain in the
Union. This holy (l) and patriotic (D object
of precip ipitating dissolution of the Union, is
tn Grand ruling motive of the Lincoln party.
fc 10 men know better than they that the
South viii not .amely submit to aggressions
upon their rights. He who is engaged in
such cause as this, though he had split rails
enough to fence in the continent, is an enemy
of his country and will receive the condem-
nation of the people

TRAVEL TO PIKE's PEAK.-People at Pixies
Peak are discussing the project of having a
line of stages established on direct route
from that region to Fort Smith. They say
that very large immigration is daily coming
to the mines by the Northern route. A great
portion of the immigration is from the South.
ern States, and consequently have to travel
via Leavenworth or St Louis, Mo, thus GO
ing a thousand miles out of their way They
think that the proposed line would not only
be very advantageous to them as increasing
the facilities of travel, but would also be a
moneyed speculation to the parties starting
it. The plan is, to have the line of stages
run from Fort Smith by the most direct route
up the valley of the Arkansas to the mines.
On this subject. the Fort Smith Herald pub
fishes letter dated May 10th. written from
Colorado City to Charles Batterfeld. The
writer says:
81 10 day had a talk with the Town Com
pany, and they offer to parties establishing
said line, donation Of one hundred lots in
this city ten Of which lots are already selec-
ted, in the heart of the city on its most busi-
ness streets This property will, within one
year, be worth over twenty thousand dol
lars and Fort Smith should do something in
the matter. l have seen all the leading men
in this section of the country from the South,
and all pledge themselves TO travel over said
route, and are anxious to have it established.
| In anticipation of route being established,
| !, before leaving the Northern mines re-
ceived number of memorials with a request
to send them to members from the different
States. in Congress, all praying for mail
over said route.
You are, doubtless informed that Color
ado City is the nearest point TO the late dis
coveres on the head waters of the Arkansas
and Colorado rivers; and distant from Fort
Smith, by the now travelled route, seven hun
dred miles That mail viii be established
| have no doubt, as in justice, the South will
demand it.
The donation of the Colorado City Com
pany will be transferred to any parties, pro-
vided they establish said line Of stages by the
first of December next | would here state
that this city, now containing some three
hundred houses, has been built since Novem-
Der last. Some of the buildings would be an
ornament to any place | would further
state that the proposed route is over the best
natural road IN the world"
