Horrible Tragedy in mississippi.

The Vcksbarg Wing Of Wednesday MORN

in Mississippi, which resulted i'll the death Of
two we'll known citizens
4 very sad ard bC;trt rcnding rancounter
occurred at Warrenton on Monday night, be-
tween Drs Sclscr and Bell ard Col. VIM. De-
Griffin, gentlemen Of high standing and well
known IN this community, which resulted in
the death of DR.. Scser and Col DeGritlin.--
We have heard number of conflicting re-
ports regarding the origin of this sad affair."
and have, therefore, endeavored to gain an au-
thcntic information. 1t seems that DR.. Bell
had been visiting DIR. Sclser house quite Of
ten of late, and that his visits became very
disagrceable to DIR. Scissors sister. She re-
qucstcd him to inform Dr. Bell that his visits
were not agreeable, and for him to discontinue
them, which Dr. Selser did by note. DIR. Bell
in reply, sent very insulting note to him by
Petit, and did not discontinue his visits DR..
Selser dill not meet him again, however, until
Monday night, when they met near the show
boat Banjo, where DR.. S. took occasion 70 de
mand an explanation for the insulting message
sent him by DR.. Bell. He asked DR.. b.,
"What did you mean by the message you sent
me?' DR. Bell then inquired, What mes
sage q to which Selser replied, "The massage
you seut me by Dir. Petit
Immediately after, DR.. Bell drew a knife
and inflicted two wounds on Or. Selser-onc
in the wrist and the other in the neck-sever-
ing several of the arteries. from which be i'm
medately did. Col. DeGrifin stepped up and
caught Bell by the shoulder. for the purpose
of separating them it is supposed, when Bell
stabbed him three times-twice in the arm
and once in the right breast-the latter of
which entered the lung. Col. DeGriffin ling
cred until about 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when he expired. DIR. Bell was arrested by
the citizens of Warrenton and held in custo-
dy until yesterday, when the sheriff went
down and brought him up to this city where
he was lodged in jail

Efforts are being made in behalf oftwo Ohio

Efforts are being made in behalf of two Ohio
men for the Democratic Presidential nomina-
tion. Hon WILLIAM ALLEN, formerly u. S.
Senator, has been proposed by large meeting
ofhis political friends held in Chillicothe, and
the movement has been seconded by q number
of the Democratic papers in the Southern por-
tion of the State Gov S. MEDARY tempo
rarily residing in Kansas Executive of that
Territory is also strongly urged for the same
position by a correspondent of the Cleveland
National Democrat. We saw Gov. NJ. in
Washington few weeks ago, looking remark
ably well, in fine spirits, and evidently enjoying
himself hugely among the National" Demo
cratic politicians there assembled, and by
whom he is regarded as thoroughly orthodox
since his veto of the bill passed by the Kansas
Legislature abolshing slavery in the Terrific
ry. Like "Barkis," we doubt not he is "wil-
ling" to be trotted out, but we fear the Balti-
more Convention will not respond to the sug-
gestion Of his Cleveland friends.

The Covode Committee is exposing an ex-
traordnary amount of corruption, connected
with nearly every department of the Govern
ment. Among the recent witnesses summon
ed before them were G. B. Flood, of Cleve-
land, and Jas. H. Smith and Gen. H. Wilson,
of Columbus The last named gentleman
testified to having been the bearer of a COM
munication from the Post Master General to
s. S. Cox, which turned the opposition of
that gentleman to the English bill into friend
ship securing his vote for it, and at the same
time restro ring him to the favor of the Ad-
ministration, which he had forfeited by voting
against the TIecompton bill

We hope our Republican, readers thro ugh

We hope our Republican readers through
out the county will bear in mind the Conven-
ton to be he'd tomorrow for the purpose of
selecting delegates to represent our county in
the approaching State Convention. We have
just entered upon an important Presidential
campaign. The October election will have an
important bearing upon that which comes off
in November--and as these preliminary move
nlents bear an intimate relation to the first
contest, it is very desirable they should be
properly attended to and participated in by as
many as possible of our voters. Let US,
therefore, have s4EI meeting, and by our pres
cree evilers the interest VIC feel in the triumph
of our glorious cause.

1t seems to be generally admitted at Wash
ington that Congress will not be able to ad-
journ Oh the 18th inst. as proposed by the
House resolution. The bill to admit Kansas
as State was postponed few days since to
take up another bill, which was regarded as in
d:cative of determination on the part of the
Democratic majority to defeat it or at least
postpone final action till next session, in order
to prevent her electoral vote being given at the
coming Presidential election for Lincoln and
Hamlin-bat 'ater adv!ces say the probabili-
ties now are that it will pass before adjourn
u1cnt. though it is thought efforts will be made
to defeat it by attaching such amendments as
the House will not agree to. 1t would be an
interesting sight TO see those who were so
clamOrous for the admission of Oregon, because
it would be adding to the number of the Dem
ocratic States, refusing to admit Kansas simply
because she is Republican in politics. The
uItras from the South will not hesitate to do so,
but we doubt if any of the few remaining
Democratic Senators from the Atlantic Free
States will dare assume the responsibility Of
such an act.

We give to-day, to the exclusion of our
usual variety, the speech of our Representa-
tive in Congress, Hon. B. STANTON, delivered
on the Sd ult. Like all the efforts of that
gentleman, it is an able production, and will
doubtless be read with interest and profit by
bis constituents. On retiring from his present
position, as he purposes doing at the close of
next session, Mr.. S. will carry with him a
reputation for ability, assiduous application
to business, and stern and unyielding integri-
ty, such as comparatively few public men pos
sess, and which can hardly fail to call him to
the discharge ofstill more high and responsible
duties in the service of the country

Among the nominations TO be made at the
coming State Convention is a candidate for
Supreme Judge and we learn that the friends
of Hon. WM. LAWRENCE, of Logan county
Will present his name for that Office to the
Convention. From long personal acquain-
tance with Judge L., We feel no hesitation in
saying we regard him as eminently fitted for
the place, nor do we doubt his selection would
be a judicous one and add strength to the
ticket A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says:
He is at present Judge Of the Court of
Common Pleas, and has the reputation of be-
ing one of the most industrious and able
Judges in the State. He is young, in good
health, clear-headed, honest firm, untiring in
bis researches patient, and at all times affable.
His elevation would give great satisfaction to
the working members of the profession and of
the Republican party. The Northwest is en-
titled to have one of the Judges located in
that section, and the middle counties would be
satisfied with Judge Lawrences nomination.
Having known him as lawyer and Judge for
seventeen or eighteen years, can recommend
him to the Republicans as the man for the
nomination and for the place"

The Cattle Disease in Congress.

On Tuesday the following resolution, on
motion of Mr.. Delano, of Massachusetts, was
adopted in the House of Representatives:
Resolved, That the Committee on Agricul-
ture be instructed to inquire respecting the
novel and alarming malady now prevailing
among the cattle in certain localities of the
United States, known as pleuro-Pneumonia;
that they consider whether the infection has
or is likely to become so general as to be a
subject of national concernment; and to recon-
mend any action which it may be competent
and expedent for Congress to take, with a
view to arresting the ravages of SO destructive
a disease.

There occurred the presc1t week two of the
disgraceful scenes so frequently witnessed in
Congress of late. In the House, Houston, of
Alabama, denounced Train, OF Mass, as
"disgraceful liar and scoundrel," without any
justifable provocaton. In the Senate, Chest
nut, of South Carolina, applied still more
foul language to Senator Sumner in a brief
rejoinder to the speech of that gentleman on
the barbarism of slavery.

The last few weeks have been remarkable
fof the nulnber and severity of the storms and
tornatfos that have prevailed in all sections of
the country, but more especially in the prai-
Eie regions of the Western States. In anoth-
er column we give some details OF the effects
Of one Of the most disastrous that has yet oc
cured, both as regards loss of life and de-
s;ructicn of property.
The haiI-storm On Monday evening was
quite severe in the vicinity of Cardington, Is
sssles north OF us. The Herald, published in
that town, says:
@'Fhe most terrific hail storm ever known
in this vicinity visited us on Monday last,
about 2 o'clock p. NJ. The sound of the ap-
preaching storm could be distinctly heard
some distance in advance, and resembled dis
tant thunder accompanied by heavy wind. 1t
was however accompanied with little low wind,
though eN identity from the direction of the
large hail stones high wind prevailed above.
The size of the hail ranged from half an inch
in diameter to the size Of hens eggs-some
having reported even larger ones-of all
shapes, some very curiously formed. The
damage to crops, gardens, window glass fruit.
&c, was immcnse-scarcely west window
escaped more or less damage, many we're lit
orally riddled of every pane of glass. Young
lambs, pigs, fowls and birds were killed, trees
stripped of good share of their fruit, small
Ter limbs and leaves--and generally speaking,
General Devastation was for some minutes
abroad in the land. The width of of the
storm, north and south. at this point, as near
as we can learn, was about one and a half
miles how far east it extended we are una
bic to say--having no advices farther than
five or six miles, that distance being reached
unabated

The damage done to Judge Douglas house
by the storm, on Saturday afternoon, was very
great. The tin roof having been blown off
the rain, which was pouring down in torrents,
damaged nearly every room in the house. Ele-
giant carpets, furniture, paintings &c, were
completely ruined. The matter is made worse,
owing to the fact that Judge d. is lying very
ill with = throat disease Washington Star,

Chicago Press we take the following clip:

is saying many good things of Mr.. Lincoln.-
1t seems to be about evenly divided in sympa-
thy between him and Bell may mention
that one of its editors is a Lincoln man and
