the murderer an Indian had been arres-

: Yesterday morning report spread
like wildfire through the city that man
had been murdered by an Indian and
unfortunately this report turned out to be
true. We are indebted to the Rev.
Mr.. Stone and Mr.. J. I. Crews for per-
sonal particulars the unfortunate man
and his family, and of the murder.
II appears that the murdered man

about thirty-years Of age, was cultiva-

near Mr.. Birds house, about one-half
or three-quarters of mile southwest
ofthe town. He was living at Mr. S.
! Fasley's in Fourth street, and left home
early on Wednesday morning, taking
his dinner with him. He was seen
about noon blowing with a yoke of cat
tie, but did not return at the usual time
in the evening. About nine o'clock P.
NJ, his wife, WHO had become extreme
ly anxious, let Rev. Mr. Stone, a near
neighbor, know ofthe fears which beset
her; and at a little past ten O'Clock, Mr..
Stone informed brother of Mr.. Blanch
and Mr. Thomas, OF the facts. They
took lantern and went to search for him
They found his hat but could not find
anything more until about daylight,
when his body was discovered conceal
ed behind log.
Mr.. Blanch, the victim of this foul
murder, crossed the plains last summer
to this country. We learn from Mr..
Stone that he was one Of the most active
members ofthe Baptist Church. man
greatly beloved by all who knew him,
and that more Innocent and harmless
man is not to be found in any communi-
ity. He leaves most devoted wife and
brother to mourn his cruel fate.

To say, under such circumstances
that the seceder's candidates are the

with impunity.

fail to see that it has anything to dc
with it. The .Minnesofian insists thai

Thurlow w. Brown, Of the Wisconsin
Chief, has been in Minnesota, and
writes Of it as follows:
We are disappointed in Mime sofa
such Of it as we have seen-but pleas
antly SO 1t will make rich, healthy,
and beautiful State. Even now it chal-
lenges surprise and admiration. A
more fertile soil is scarce found in the
Union, or more completely watered by
lakes, springs, and clear running
streams. For wheaton grazing, it viii
rank with the best. The severity Of
the climate, as SO much talked of, is
a myth. Its clear, dry, steadily cold
winters are healthful and pleasant. AT
this time, the corn, potatoes, and gard
ems, nre in advance Of those Of South
ern Wisconsin. Even two hundred
miles north of her, Dent corn is ripened
These facts, and the absence of late
spring frosts, Will surprise many who
supposedthe State "cold and inhospit-
able cline" We do not wonder that
Now England people are enthusiastic
in speaking Of Minnesota. Thousands
will yet gather here to build them

Douglas and Breckenridge.

The National Democratic Conven-
tion, while il has ceased its labors at
Baltimore, ceases not to be the occasion
of the bitterest denunciation, one
against the other, Of the rival democra-
cies. We have now two democratic
tickets in the, field, the National DEM
ocratic ticket, and the Boilers ticket,
as follows (: ~
let. For President, STEPHEN A. DouG-
LAS, For Vice President, HERscHEL v.
JOHNSON. q SD % b9ne's. i 80
b Cd. For President. JOHN c.. BREcK-
EsRI5GE, For Vice President, Gen. Jo-
sEPH Lane. 8Gs IS Ha ca u aa:
The Boltel 5 ticket, comparedwith the
other, is weak in talent, the candidates
being distinguished only for having been
extremely lucky in reaching important
political posts, without those qualifica-
tions usually accompanying political
success. Breckenridge is gentleman
of popular manners, of frank, social
turn. and makes pretty speech. This
is, all that can be said for him. Jo
Lane every body has heard of, as a
man without education, without talent,
and without character. When we were
at Newburg, Indiana, last summer,
where he resided before he went to
Mexico, we were told by those living
there, who knew him web, that, up to
the time of his leaving for Mexico, he
was regarded as a low, drunken coarse,
brawling politician, who had never been
able TO induce his party there to give
him a higher position than a seat in the
Legislature. He came home from Mex
leo. and was sent to Oregon. From there,
by some unaccountable means he came
back to the u. S. Senate, where he
distinguished himself only by his servil-
iiy to the slavery Eextensionists. He
photographed the Oregon delegation TO
bolt at Charleston when the .Slare Code
platform was voted down. Brecken-
ridge and Lane now stand on slave
code platform, announcing to the Amer
lean people the mischievous doctrine Of
Congressional Intervention, protecting
slavery in the territories, against the
wishes OF majority Of the people, even
though that majority be as one to one
thousand. What reasonable Democrat
North-what democrat of :he Jefferson
school-can support such ticket?
We certainly coincide in opinion with
the Tribune which SAYS truly:
The Douglas men have no reason to
complain Of the ticket pitted against
them. Next to Caleb Gushing and jeff
Davis, this is as good ticket to run
against as they could have made if the
selection had been con6ded to their
own hands. We predict that Douglas
will beat it in the popular vote of the
Slave States, and run it out of sight in
the Free States. rl
