Tue MENTAL GIANT WONDERED Ara Kan
Gas correspondent of the New York Evening
Post thus amusingly sketches the impression
made upoo his Western auditors by Gov. Sew
ards personal presence:
81 The crowd vas too much awed by the repu
tation of the man to be very enthusiastic in its
demonstrations Of applause, and the general SEN
ment seemed 10 be one of surprise, that such a
little, mild hammered, respectable gentleman
should have made such frightful reputation,
and become such terror to the slaveholding
portion Of the country. The old Missouri far
mers from the creek bottoms, the red-shirted
roven Of the plains, the roughs and rowdies and
subdued border rufians of the early wars, all
crowded round with open months and DESCENDED
eyes, almost gasping with interest to see and hear
the man who had proclaimed the irreprcssible
conflict, and attempted to dissolve the Union
They evidently expected to see . great, brawny,
double listed, ferocious monster Of muscle; and
one back woodsman, with . coon skin cap, open
ly announced his dissatisfaction by declaring con
6dentially to his comrade that he could whip the
little cuss with one hand"

A PRiNcE IN THE WHITE HoUsr.-A CORES.
pondent Of the Philadelphia Press writing from
Washington, INDUCES 10 the following specula-
tions, suggested by the visit Of the Prince
He Is the first Prince that ever slept in the
White House, the habitation of our elective, not
hereditary. Presidents Will he be the last one
And will there ever be . time that Prince will
not be q mere guest, but constant inhabtant
Of that House? viii this country, like the Ro-
man Republic, ever have its Octavianusf Rome
was Republic for more than five hundred years.
Will this country be Republic in two thousand
three hundred after Christi Or will, in the
mean time, civil war, dissensions, and mlsfor.
tune reduce the people to hhe dire necessity
of psrceiving in The ascendancy Of celebrated
general, . second Augustus, the only salvation
from ruin and destruction? Will the source OF
our happiness, greatness, and power-the Con-
stitution and the Union, be still in existence q,
that time? or will they have been destroyed by
the ruthless hands Of demagogues and traitors ?
Let the people ponder on these questions. 1t is
true that they can only be answered by the fu-
ture. but nevertheless, many thinking men will
come TO the conclusion that it will do no harm
to our future prosperity II our people try to an
swer these important questions at the present
time. Much evil may be prevented BY doing SO. !"

AWFUL CAsUALrY.-A terrible accident occur
red ct Nessra Wells 1 Hills FIGURING Mills. in
this city, on Saturday last, BY which krs Hill
was instantly killed. About 81 o'clock in the
afternoon, Mrs. Hill, accompanied by several Ia
diea, went to the mills to see their operation af-
ter spending some time there, they were about
to leave, when Ns. H. found she had left her
parasol up stairs, and started back to get it,
The machinery in the second story is driven by
vertical shaft, making about 30 revolutions per
minute, which passes up close to the stairway;
in passing this, Mrs. HIS dress became entangled
with IL, and before Mr.. Wells, who was near,
could relieve her. she was thrown down on the
floor and carried round at = fearful rate, her
head coming in contact with the stairway and a
post At each revolution Of the shaft. The mill
was instantly stopped, but not in time to save
her life, as the first blow undoubtedly killed her.
Mr.. Wells was severely injured in his efforts
to save MIRA Hill, and had narrow escape from
becoming entangled in her dress and sharing her
fate. Nrs. Hills funeral took place on Monday
afternoon, and was attended py large circle OF
friends.-TRacine Advocate.

An accident occurred on the Eastern Extern
sion Railroad on Friday morning, by which five
or six freight cars were badly smashed, and one
engine totally disabled. Two freight trains were
passing out from Peoria, one behind the other.
When about fifty miles from this city, the front
train encountered heavy grade, which she
made three unsuccessful attempts to ascend
She was consequently thrown behind time, and
in her last descent for fresh trial being unable
to control her momentum, she overlook and ran
into the train behind her, which had commenced
a retrogade movement, but was not in time to
avoid the accident. Fortunately no one was
killed or injured.-[ Peoria Independent.

WALKER-General Henningsen writes a long let
ter in vindication of William Walker. He con.
cludes:
So far from 6iibustsrism being laid in the
grave of William Walker it may be safely pre-
dicted that from every drop of blood shed from,
he death wounds, inflicted, are informed,
amidst the cheers Of the natives" ID whom he
had been delivered up, bound by the infamy OF
Norvell Salmon, viii spring another ardent fill
buster. 1t is well that its now exultant enemies
abroad and at home should know, and / am in
position to inform them, that its views are in no.
wise changed; its spirit in nowise impaired
So far from being depressed by recent events,
since the first report of Walkers execution, and
especially OF its occurrence through British in
reference, have been overwhelmed by commp-
nications from men impatient for immediate ac-
ton, and mostly eager to personally, forthwith,
at all hazards, depart for the scene Of the late
tragedy; or from others anxious to countenance
and support them. To these all reply here to
bide their time. When that time comes their
cause win not want either followers or leaders.

Owe OF NAPoLEoN's OLD SOLDIERS MURDERED
FOR HIS MoNEY.-The ShelbyviIle, Ind, Banner
says
An old man named Geo. Hauk, living alone
with his family In small tenement about one
mile and half east of Marion, in this county,
and about Eve miles from this place, were found
on Sunday last amid the ruins of their dwelling,
which had been consumed during the night. Au
inquest over the remains of the bodies revealed
the horrible fact that the old people were the
victims Of most diabolical and cold-bloodcd
murder. The old man was almost totally con-
sumed, but the upper part of the body of his
wife was covered under large quantity of brick
from tie chimney, which protected that portion
of her body from the fire. Her throat was
found to be cut her chest cloven open in two
places with sharp instrument, and her skull
broken in. An AK and Ratchet, with the handles
burned off, were found near the bodies, aud there
were evidences Of severe struggle They were
known to be in possession of a considerable sum
of money, all of which the assassins secured,
except about 1855 which was concealed among
the wheat in the loft, in tin coffeepot, and
which remained covered up, and was preserved.
The perpetrators were doubtless aware that these
people had money, and after securing it set the
house on fire to destroy the evidences of the
foul and atrocious deed Mr.. Hank was a Ger
man by birth, served seven years in Bonaparte's
army, was in Spain under Marshal Ncy, fought
battles in Italy, and traversed the whole CONT
nent Of Europe to Moscow as an infantry soldier.
He was about 70 years of age, and his wife but
q few years younger.

South Carolina.

This noble and gallant State has, often,
been the subject Of jest and sneer by men
who have but little regard for principle,
and startle at the smell of gunpowder, or
the crack of rifle. She has outlived the
Kisses Of her political critics, and the cur
ses Of her bitterest enemies. This day
she stands in the Union an object of respect
and rallying point for the true friends
of the South. She is still abused by some,
but hundreds, yea, thousands, who once
talked lightly Of her chivalry, are now
forced to regard her, in her true light as
n star of brilliant and enduring lustre.
Such is her position that patriots in every
Southern State watch her movements
with interested sympathy, and feel attrac-
ted to her as Il sister possessing virtues Of
the first magnitude for the trying crisis
which is upon us II thought, in the
past, that she washot-headcda and foolish,
says one, "but now L recognize her sa-
gacity and foresight" Il was preudic-
ed against South Carolina" says another,
{" believing that she complained without
cause and magnifcd molc-hills into noun
tains, but, it is clear she saw the danger
ahead and wished to prepare against it,
I am with her now"
1t is common to hear such expressions
as these, fall from the lips of those who
formerly looked upon South Carolina as
clustering bragadocio who carried a
dagger upon the tongue and eowaldlce IN
the heart. Now, how differently is she
