TIE FORREST CASE NEARLY SETTLED.
The New York papers of the latest
date state that the case Of Forrest rs.
Forrest, for divorce and alimony, which
has occupied public attention for the
last ten years, is now near termination.
The counsel attended before the Judge
on the morning of the 10th instant, for
the purpose of settling the final order.
The order, as proposed by Mr.. O'Con-
nor, Mrs. F.'s counsel, recites the de-
cree Of divorce and the legal steps al
ready taken. 1t allows Mrs. Forest al
imony $4,000 a year, dating from the
10th Of November, 1850, and provides
for the arrearages due on such allow
ance, which, with interest, amount to
$47,7l6.47. This sum is to be paid into
the United States Life and Tru.t Com
pany within thirty days after the settle
ment Of the order. The arrearages and
future allowance, which are to be paid
quarterly, to be secured by depositing
with the same company the mortgage
held by Mr.. Forrest upon the FontbilI
estate or other adequate security. Mr..
Van Bnren (Mr. F.'s counseD proposed
amending the order by dcducting the
interest upon the arrearages, which
would lessen the sum about SIC, 900, and
also giving Mr.. Forrest ninety instead Of
thirty days to deposit the amount aud
mortgage in the Trust Company. The
Judge took the papers and reversed his
decision.

SEWARD MUsT HAVE PROMIsR.-
We learn from the Illinois State ReQis.
ter, that Thurlow Weed, the confden-
tial fiiend Of Mr.. Seward, is now on
visit to Mr.. Abraham Lincoln, at SPRING
field, Illinois, making arrangements for
fair division of the spols, in the event
Lincoln shall be elected President by the
aid Of Stewards friends. 1t seems not to
be finally determined whether Mr.. Sew
ard shall take charge of the Department
Of State, or become Minister to Eng
land, with the understanding that the
patronage of the Government shall be
welded with view of securing for him
the succession in 1864. This point
could be easily determined if Weed and
Greeley could be induced to compro-
mise their difficulties and share alike in
the division of the spoils; therein con-
slsts the chief difficulty. Greeley will
not be content with anything less than
q Cabinet office for his services in killing
off Seward, and Weed will never trust
Greeley in the Cabinet for fear he will
keep up the war OH Seward and his
friends. Lincoln, it is thought, will
promise. them both, and let them wait
until after tho election to find out who
is cheated.

The OttumWa Homicide.

The following letter, handed to
us by Rev. Mr.. Fishback, is full Of
deep and thrilling interest. 1t was writ
ten by the mother of Miss Harvey 1.-THE
murdered girD to lady living near Of
tumwa.
Every word and every line, bears the
impress of that love which only a moth
er can feel, and that anguish which
wrings the mothers heart when the Oh
iect of her affection is thus ruthlesslv
torn from her bosom, and horribly mui-
dered in strange land. The blood Of
the slain calls loud for vengeance, and
in this case, we cannot but feel that the
overruling providence of a righteous
God will yet bring the perpetrators of
that ho'rid deed to light and that his
vengeance, which sleepeth not, will vet
overtake them:

A correspondent of the Toronto Globe
relates the particulars of case in which
a physiclan in good standing having got
unfortunately somehow into debt, was
suddenly bounced upon and completely
stripped of his property by his merci-
less creditors. He had a small farm. a
part Of which his children were blowing
preparatory to planting potatoes, guam
tity having been distributed in the field
for that purpose. The potatoes were
seized by one creditor, the horse which
the doctor used in his practice by anoth-
er. Another flinty hearted creditor
cleared the house of the family provis-
ions, and still another grabbed the doc
tors medical books. A respectable
physician, together with his family, were
thus not only deprived of their present
subsistence, but of the means of earning
more.

National Democracy have never sought

contend for is that slave property in the
Territories should stand on the same
footing as all other species of property.
and receive the same protection as all
other species of property receiycs-tbat
