A La,nentable Suicide.

In Columbus, (Ga.) ON the 25th inst, young
lady by the name of Grigsby, about Ig years old,
committed suicide by jumping into the Bigbee river
at that place. The facts of this unfortunate affair
are briefly these: This young lady on Wednesday,
about II o'clock, went to the house Of one Of her
her suit of male attire, stating at the same time
that she wanted to 60 to West Point that night in
disguise, and marry gentleman who would meet
her there. The lady of the house informed her
husband of the nature of the young lady's errand,
who pursuaded her to abandon the idea of disguis-
ing herself and promised that she should marry at
his house il she wanted to marry, or that he would
70 with her to West Point if she desired. The
Young lady left the house, and in returning home,
met her sister, small child, and asked her 70 go
with her to the river before dinner the child went
with her, and upon their arriving at the river,
which was but a few hundred yards from their
house, the young lady took of all her jewelry and
bonnet and gave them to her little sister, and told
| her to tell them all goodbye; she then jumped
into the river, and after rising once or twice, as 1t
| appeared to q gentleman who was short distance
from the place, she went down and rose no more.
The alarm was given Immediately, and large
crowd assembled and search was commenced and
continued until night without avail. Cannons
were fired, but all to no purpose. We arrived at
the place few moments after the occurrence, and
were present during the evening, and no traces
could be discovered of her, which was in conse-
quence of the depth of the water and the rapidly
Of the current. She had not been discovered on
Thursday morning. Doubtless many will be the
conieetures upon the causes which could have led
her to this fearful extremity but in charity for the
unfortunate girl, we must think that reason had
quit the helm and in the moments of her despera-
ton, she resolved on death the auietus of her
imaginary woes. She is said to have been very
intelligent girl, and of very respectable family.
She leaves O widowed mother and several brothers
and sisters to bewail her untimely death

PUBLICATION OF PUGMIsM.--A gentleman writes
a letter to the New York Times against the publ
cation in respectable journals of matters pertain.
ing to pugism, to which that paper replies in the
following style:
In spite of his objection to the publication of
anything concerning the prize fight, we suspect
our correspondent would be very much disappoint-
ed if we were to decline his article because we
propose to ignore the subject. We therefore give
It place. 1t is interesting and instructive, and
we hope its publication may aid in convincing the
public of the essential brutality of the prevalent
taste for prize fighting.
"Senexa must remember that, while he is 60 on
the shady side of sixty" and has outgrown all Gu
riosity about such matters-not caring, even, to
know the result of the contest between Heenan and
Sayers, (21-by far the larger portion of the com
munity are not yet in that category. The fight is
an incident which attracts universal attention, and
newspaper might as well ignore a great battle
an eclipse of the sun, or row in Congress, as to
make no mention of such an affair. We are under
the necessity of recording the facts Of this fight,
we do of all other which attract public
notice. We shall endeavor to do it in a way to
convey desired information, without stimulating or
pandering to vicious tastes. But if we should omit
the subject altogether, we are quite inclined to
think that sSenex would be the very first man to
stop the Times, and take some newspaper in which
he could rely on finding the news. In fact, he is
too thoroughly posted affairs of the ring not to
| have read pretty extensively on the subject at
| some period of his life.

Louisiana intelligence.

The Clinton Patriot of Saturday last says:
Since our last issue the weather has been and
still continues disagreeably cool. north wind
has been blowing steadily since Tuesday morning
last, when there was slight frost visible. We
hear, however, the most cheering news from the
young corn and cotton in our parish.
The Ascension Acadian of Saturday says:
For several days past the evenings and the morn
ings have been unseasonably cold rendering over
coats and even fires quite necessary to comfort
Last night, about | o'clock, we had sprinkle OF
rain but this morning the sun rose bright ana
clear. The cold nights retard vegetation, but the
| dry weather is favorable to farm and plantation
| work, all of which is progressing finely
| The Lake Providence Herald Of Saturday has
the following:
| The weather this week has been almost cool
| enough for frost causing an arrest in the growth
| of vegetation, which may prove detrimental. The
stands of cotton and corn are by no means uniform
| in our parish-many looking extremely well and
forward, others not. although the promise gener-
ally is by no means discouraging, considering the
lateness of the season. A warm spell Of several
weeks steady continuance, accompanied with oc-
easional rains. would help matters very much.
The cut-worm we learn is doing considerable
damage to the corn in some places.

had been told me of Lady Stamfords excelling in
the art, but till Friday last, never had an oppor-

run in steeplechase time, had the good fortune to
be very near the Countess, and, consequently, in
very forward pace--iu fact, close to the hounds
all the way and had, therefore, an excellent OPP
portunty of observing that lady's riding. The
country as all old foXhunters know is difficult to
cross.
There were two brooks and at least fifty strong
fences to be leapt-eight or nine of them regular
posers. 1t was perfect treat, and lesson too

THADDEUs HYATT IN JAIL.-Mr. Hyatt has just
been visited by his wife at his rooms in the city
jail. He has furnished his apartment in elegant
style, and evidently contemplates long larry. He
may as well bring his family on and keep house,
for there is no more chance that the Senate will
back down from its position than there is that the
sun will fall from the sky. When the summer
weather comes on, and the wretched jail becomes
literal oven, Mr.. Hyatt will at least discover that
he has chosen very bitter alternative. 1t is ar
gued that the power of the Senate over him ex-
pires on the 4th of March, 1861. The Republicans
have almost unanimously regretted that Mr.. Hyatt
did not follow the course Of Andrews, of Boston
him for his courage and endurance. The Demo.
Gratis will endeayor to make capital out Of the fact
of his refusal to testify, and hear that Senators
like Mr.. Seward express the opinion very freely
that as matter of policy alone, every Republican
who has been invited to come here by the com.
mittee should have given his evidence in with
alacrity." [Cor. N. Y Post.
