A.orIEk FEATURE IN THE kEPHART
MYsrEnY.-The Burlington Ua,ckeye
publishes a letter dated BATAVIA, Iowa,
July sth, 1860" from which VIC make
following extract:
A lady Of respectability and intelligence, by
tho name Of NJ 9. Coleman, arrived in this
place on last evening" from Adell, Dallas coun-
", Iowa, claiming to be the mother Of the two
children that were evidently murdered near
Edd vviile together with the woman. and their
bodies thrown into the creek north OF this
place. From her description of the children,
aud tho circumstances connected with the w0
man found dead. they are evidently the child
rem Of Mrs Coleman. Her history discloses
that her husband, Joseph Coleman. LEFT her.
and some time after this he came and took
three of the children, . little boy and two lit
tie girle, whose names were Joseph Willis
Coleman. Emma X. Coleman. and Lily Aure-
liza Coleman-he took them to his Mrs. Willis.

Delaware county, Ksnsas. where Emma K the
oldest, (as the b.st information she can GET
was poisoned 10 death.
In the South.
We are gratiied to learn that the
Democrats in the South favorable to the
election of the nominee of the Baltimore
Convention. are making rapid strides
in the work Of organization, and not
without some show of success. The
idea that Douglas will not get single
electoral vote in the Southern States is
not worthy Of any credit or belief what
ever. In Louisiana, in Georgia, in North
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Delaware,
Maryland and Missouri, the show Of sue
cest Of the Douglas ticket is growing
brighter and brighter, aud the people
are rallying about the camp fires with a
zeal that would do honor to the most
enthusiastic Northern States. We do
not say that Mr.. Douglas chances do
not look sqnally just now, but there are
nearly four months yet before the day
of election, and who cen tell what the
exertion Of the Democrats will accom-
plish within that time
The prospects are growing better,aud
We trust will continue to do So.
STICK TO THE PAkTY.-All true Dem
ocrats should stick to their party organ
ization. BY universal usage, the Demo
cratic party permits the majority in its
Conventions to make the platforms and
decide upon what principles they shall
60 into the campaign. When the South
got all they wanted the Northern De-
mocracy never bolted, and the Northern
Democracy now regret that = portion OF
their Southern brethren have gone; as
stray. The Northern Democracy are
still as determined as ever, to stand by
the constitutional rights of the South
All they ask is that for chance to sus-
tain themselves at home on a sound par.
ty platform.
