A REPORT having gained circulation A that Mir. Dean, of Cincinnati, is interested with me in the mercantile business in this town, and in consequence of that, am in favor of a cer- tain line of steamboats and doing all l can against all other boats and owners of boats, 1 desire to take this method to state that the report is entirely without foundation-that the person who got up such report, is base at heart-that the end he had in view is low, mercenary and selfish. In my bu- siness transactions have always made it point not to know one man from another, and have al- ways found if attended to his own business well, he would not have time to misrepresent his neighbor. l could point out the source from whence the above report emanated, but will notice it no further than to state he has recently been discharg ed by his employer for his lying propensities.

 Sir, If the slaves upon this continent must be migratory, do not drive them into the cold and inhospitable regions of the northwest, where they must s,relv and rapidly languish and die, brs send them to the genial climes and fruitful valleys of the southwest, where they will live and grow and multiply and flourish, and be more pro- ductlve thah upon any other part of the globe, and where the institution itself I verlly believe, will survive all the constitu. tons and governments now known upon the earth.
 No gentleman from my section of the Union may agree with me; but, from an honest and profound conviction of what the true policy of my constituents demand. declare that l do not desire to see slavery extend northward beyond the thirty-sxth parallel of latitude. I would rather strengthen, fortify, and intensity it where It exists than dittuse it over regions where causes beyond the power and genius of man to control, and immutable and infall- lble as Gods laws must speedily extinguish It. Ii through far ages ? l could look into the abyss of the future and see crow ded, redundant, and mproductive slave population, where the institution nou exists, would say to it, go beyond the Rio Grande and along the Mexican Gulf There is country whose development the interests of humanity everywhere imper. atively demand. It can only be accom- plished by slave labor. Soil, climate products, and God S will, invite you. When once planted there, and protected and de- tended by natures laws, as you will be. the laws of man will never uproot you.

CITY INTELLIGENCE

A MYSTERY CLEARED UP-A WOMAN MURDERED
AND Her BoDY THROWN INTO THE RIvRR.-0n the
I'd of November last, a woman named Mary Dav,
who had been living in the house of George konig,
on Eastern avenue, near Caroline street. left the
house for the purpose of going to a farm ofKonig's
on Back Neck, where man named Leaf lived On
the 4th of November, man named John Russell,
who also lived on Ronig's farm, but who had been
in the city on the I'd of the month, went to his
house, but Immediately returned to the city and
stated to the officers of the Eastern district police
that he believed that murder had been committed,
as the floor of his house was covered with blood,
and both Leaf and the woman Mary Day were
missing. On the 5th, Captain Morris and Lieut..
Thompson visited the premises, and found the floor
reported covered with blood, and also Leafs gun
with the barrel broken from the stock, and guam
tity of female hair and cotted blood on the butt of
the stock. A thorough search was made for the
body of the woman, but no trace of it could be
found. A number of brick, which had been lying
near the house, were gone, which led to
the supposition that they had been used
to sink the body in the stream. Leaf was
seen two days after the disappearance of the woman,
but left the neighborhood since, and has not been
heard from. The circumstance of the girls disap
pearance had almost been forgotten, when, on
Thursday last, the body was found, washed ashore,
near the spot where the murder took place. The
evidence of violence the body left no doubt that
she had been foully murdered. Her right thigh ex-
hibited the marks of a severe gun shot wound,
which had passed through the leg. The scalp
was taken from the top of the head, and the skull
crushed in. One side of her body was black
caused by severe beating, and several slight
wounds were on other parts of her body. Hanging
to her left arm was bag, the bottom of which was
rotted out. This bag was no doubt filled with the
missing brick, then tied to the arm and the body
cast into the water. A coroner's inquest was held
over the body, but there was evidence adduced
to criminate any person, and accordingly the jury
rendered verdict of ''death from violence, at the
hands of person or persons unknown to the jury"
No doubt exists but the woman was murdered by
Leaf but he has escaped, and at present nothing is
known of his whereabouts. .-se
