II WIS rumorcl In this city yesterday that
Caleb c. Woodbury., who We all supposed wqs
dead, was seen in Chicago not long since. (
! Ii will be remembered that he was Post--
tmaster at White Pigeon, in this State, was
arrested for robbing the mail, examined by U.>
S Commissioner Wilkins, and held to bull ID
$4,000, or in default to be imprisoned In tie
Jail OF st. Joseph county. Also, that he vas
taken home by Z, s. Deputy Marshal Moore,
on the 18th Of August last, 10 procure bail, Il
possible, and TINT while In Ills own house he
retired 10 his chamber to change his clothes!
tnd take short nap, and that not making hi9
appearance in due time, the chamber door waa
burst open mud he was found lying dead in his
bed. The fact that he had bought strychinc,
and the presence Of some Of 1t in the room, led
naturally, to the belief that he committed
suicide by its use. There 1he matter ended
and Deputy Marshal Moore came home
Now 1t Is stated, that within 4 few weeks,
Woodbury. was seen and spoken to by m old
acquaintance In Chicago, or near there, and
that tie story having reached White Pigeon,
Ills supposed grave Kas opened, and the coffin
found to contain only a stick Of Kood.
Such Is the statement Of man from TINT

THE 1UST RESOLUTION,

Our readers will perceive the impossi~
bility of forming correct opinion on the
Rust resolution, which flas been adopted
hy the Committee Of Thirty-threc, when
&c tell them that the telegraph gave il to
us in the following incomprchensible phra~
Se5.
Reso1red, That in the opinion Of this Committee
pie and the growing hostility among them to the
f'eIeral Government, are greatly 10 be regretted
and that another such di+content and hostility:
;,r1per constitutional remedies and efzeesual EnaE.
:tccs their peculiar interests recognized by the
Constitution, nrcehsary to preserve the peAcc and
fhc IlcFTetulty Of the Lutol, should be promptly
:.ud chccrfnly granted.
by dint Of comparing it with 11r. slor~
rills amendment and examining the vari~
ous votes taken on the various propositions
before the Committee, We felt authorized to
lick it into some sort Of form and comcll~
hess, thus:
tsolred, That in the opinion of this Committee
! the cxistiug discuntent among the Southern Ie0-
ill., aud the growing hostility among them to the
Federal Government. are greatly 70 be regretted
spl that sueh discomfort ard hostility arc not with
out cau.e, and any reasonable aud proper consttii-
lioaat remedies and ciIccual guarantees for their
peculiar interests Ut recognized by the constitu-
lion, necessary to preserve the peace and the per
.,e;uity Of the l'nion, should be promptly aud
ehreslullg granted,
J Under the circumstances, we are not pre-
:: parcd to criticisc the action Of the commit

:, needless concession Of tho only vital issue
! il the controversy, t2-wit: that the exist
ing discomfort among the Southern people,
and the growing hostility among them ia

good cause.-The cause being the election o'
Lincoln and Hamlin. Such declaration
would lie an unpardonable folly, if not q
