GOV. SEWARD AT HIS HOME.

From the correspondence of the N. Y.
Tribune we take the following extract, de-
scribing the reception of Seward at his home
upon his late return from Europe. No com.
men. is needed
AUBURN, December 80, 1859. Gov Sew.
ard arrived home in the 800 p. NJ. train of
to day and was received at the depot by an
immense throng of citizens, the military,
the pnbli1 schools, the clergy, and civil of
fcers. AS he made his appearance, he was
greeted by the booming of cannon and the
deafening cheers of his fellow citizens of all
parties. Michael S. Myers, an eminent law
yer, an old citizen, and the hardest kind of
"a Hard Shell Democrat, welcomed him home
in an eloquent and appropriate speech, to
which the Governor replied in his ever happy
manner. lie was then escorted to his resi-
dence, and greeted at every step with the sall
tations, and cheerings, and waving of hand
kerchiefs by the mass of people who block
ed the streets, lined the house>tops, crowded
the balconies, and occupied every available
space. Arches of evergreens, with appro>
pirate notices, SPAWNED the street; private
aud public buildings were decorated With
flags and inscriptions; aud no means seem,
ed left unemployed to demonstrate the salts
faction felt at his safe arrival home. Among
the thousands of notices, we noticed the
following:
"Wecome to the defender of the rights
of man."
"Welcome to the defender of the liberty
of the press"
"And the Lord was with him, and let
none of his words fall to the ground"
This last motto was from the Northern
Independent (MethodisD one of the boldest
and most Autrfooted anti-slavery papers in
he North edited by Rev. WIN. EIosmer,
whose denuncations Of sNvery, when editor
of the Northern Christian Advocate, brought
down upon him the hate of the pro slavery
portion of the NJ. Il Church, aud resulted
in his ejrc'ment from the editorial manages
ment of that paper.
The following was signed "The Clergy
and sponncd the gateway of Gov Seward
ground:
"And behold ! am with the, md will
keep thee in all places whither thou goest,
aud will bring thee again into this land"
The following extract from "a speech OF
Governor Seward was inscribed upon an
arch of evergreen, which spanncd ono Of
the public streets:
"See to it thar freedom and equal rights
are inculcatcd at your fresides, in your
schools, and in the churches"
Everything considered, this was one Of
the most enthusiastic and hearty welcomes
ever extended by u people, without dsinc-
ton of party, to public man. 1t shows that
however much they may differ politically
the people of Cayuga County hold in high
est esteem the virtues and services of Gov
Seward

DEATH OF W. D. RoY.-We learn from the
vicksburg papers that W. D. Roy, senior editor
of the Southern Sun, was shot and killed by
D. J. Sheppard, in vicksburg, on Tuesday last
We extract from the Wing, of Wednesday last,
q brief account Of the killing:
1t appears from the testimony at the Coroner's
Investigation. that as Col. Roy was crossing the
street between Mr.. Tilman's and Messrs. Harda-
way & Whites, Mr.. Sheppard stepped up and
deliberately shot him, the ball lodging in the left
breast, just above the heart Col. Roy drew his
pistol, bit was unable to use it; before he could
cock it he fell and Immediately expired. The
pistol was found by his side, without a cap being
SCARED or barrel discharged Mr.. Sheppard
gave himself ur and was lodged in JUL.
r = Il
Of the circumstances. attending this sad affair,
the public are probable well aware. 1t was a
mere personal affair, growing out of financial
matters connected with the Sun office, of which
Mr.. Sheppard had formerly been book-keeper and
cashier. The matter will undergo investigation,
and until then we forbear comment.

WILLARD FILLMORES LETTER TO THE

WILLARD FILLM0RE'S LETTER TO THE
GREAT NEW YORK UNION MEETING.
1t appears that the Southern journalists who
supported Fillmore for the Presidency in 1856,
are ashamed to publish his letter to the great
New York Union meeting We do not blame
them, for it il enough to make any Southern man
who voted for him. hang his head in shame. To
the exclusion Of other matter, we publsh the
letter entire this week, as specimen of what
the South may expect from the "Union Saviors"
of the North Mr. Fillmore's letter clearly proves
what was so frequently charged upon him in
1856, and as strongly denied by his supporters,
that he is in feeling and sentiment an anti slavery
man, in other words, an aholitionist. He reitsr-
ates his old "Pandoras box" sentiment in regard
to the Missouri Compromise, but makes it little
stronger than when he was candidate. We heard
one who warmly supported him in 1856, say that
he thought Mr. Fillmore's letter was a bid for the
Black Republican nomination for the Presidency,
and we are inclined to agree with him; but to the
letter;
