.nTSAp AccIpRSr-AIAN KIL1ED.-on
Tuesday morning last n young man named
Eiward Jones, was run over and killed
by the Western bound Express train over
the Central Ohio Railroad, at Spencer's
Station. The young man was brakesmau
on the stock train then lying at Speucer's
station, and was sent up the road a short
distance, to flag the Express, SO it would not
pass. Having lost sleep for two nights
previous, he fell asleep at his post, as
rather sitting on the north side of the
track, and it is supposed he fell over upon
the track. Despite all the efforts of the
engineer and brakesmen to stop tue train,
it could not be done until the body of the
unfortunate young man was much bruised
snd thrown off the track by the cow-catch-
sr. AT last accounts the young man was
IN dying condition. His parents reside
.tSonorn. His age is about twenty years,
sd he is spoken of as u worthy young
nsn.

Of its tenant, and not content with
the robbery, they treated the body in the
most inhnmau aud barbarous manner
They dragged it through one end of the

fences, aud finally ended by cutting off
the lower limbs, and otherwise mutiluting
the body. They then concealed it in
straw stack, where it was found on last
Sabbath evening. Two or three persons
were arrested and taken before Justice,
where they were tried, and one, physi-
elan from small town near Fairview, was
committed TO Jail.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14th.-The prevalent
conjectures concerning the action of the
government, are untrue, aud most of them
exaggerated. The course of the admins
tration will afford no just cause for in
creasing the present excitement either
north or southna it will endeavor fairly
and impartially to perform its duty, as the
cases for it action may arise, always keep
ing the Constitution and lawfully in view
The remark attributed to the Hon. Mr..
Kcitt, that the President is pledged to Sc
cession, has been received here with much
astonishment. His friends do not believe
he is correctly reported. 1t is we'll known
that the President has never made such a
pledge in any public paper, aud his most
Intimate friends have never heard anything
from his lips which would lead to the be-
lief that he entertains any sentiment
which is not now warmly in favor of pre-
serving the Constitution in all its integ-
rity.
The Postmaster at NNngbnry, Mr.. Keitts
residence, has forwarded his resignation
MS Postmaster, to take effect on the LIST Of
Janunry, unless, he says, his much abused
and beloved State, South Carolina, shall
sooner sccede.

We insert to-day, In another column, uH-
der the Political" head, letter from the
Hoo. Edward Bates, of Missouri, to n COM
mittee of bis fellow-citizens, explanatory of
his opinions on the leading questions of the
day, on which every man must expect to be
explicitly understood who consents to be
placed before the country for the highest Of
fee in its gift. Mr.. Bates expresses himself
with frankness due to his high personal
character, ard with clearness that leaves
no ambiguity in regard to his political prin-
ciples or his opinions on the agitating and
all absorbing question which has shaken the
country to its centre for some time past
Those-perhaps now not n great many
who have known this estimable gentleman
as long ourselves, and especially those
who had an opportunity of marking his
standing in Congress, where he was the
peer of Everett and Burgess, and Barnard
and Cambrelene, and Buchanan and Ser
geant, and Randolph and Stevenson, and Nc
Duffie, and Vance, and Vinton, and the many
other leading men of that brilliant era, will
not he surprised Mt the ability which per-
vades his present letter, or the honest
straightforwardness of its avowals. These
avowals, we suspect, will hardly conciliate
the favor of uncompromising partisans on
either side of the sectional issue, or the Ter
ritorial question, but for that reason they
may combine the appreciation of moderate
men, who are willing to concede something
of the suDlnanl gus, for the sake of harmony
and benefcent administration of the Gov
eminent
