says that thereupon, Mr.. Potter offered the
choice OF shotted musketS or bowie knives
and that here the matter rests for the present.
The reports are so numerous and contIadicto-
ry, that nothing can be stated with confidence
as to accuracy.
The affair excites intense interest through
out the city, and some Of the rum0rS are so
eXtravagant in details, as to warrant the sus-
plclon that they have been invented to satisfy,
IN part, at least, an excessive appetite for the
latest Intelligence. 1t is generally conceded,
however, that there has not been been Il hos
tile meeting. Mr.. Hindman has left for home.
Hls friendly offices for Mr.. Pryor were con-

Mr. G b food
A Capital Kit.

Mr.. James B. Clay, like other Democratic
proslavery orators, has a perverse habit of stig-
natizing Mr.. Lincoln as an Abolitionist. The
Louisville Journal alluding to Mr.. Clays pen
chant for this kind of twaddle towards his po-
litical opponents, administers to him the follow
ing very appropriate rebuke {:
II Mr.. Clay is not old enough to know from
bis own recollection, he ought certainly to
know from the testimony of others, that his
father, his immortal father, was never candi-
date for the Presidency without being con-
stantly and rcmorselessly denounced by the
whole of the Democratic leaders and the whole
of the Democratic rank ard file as an aboli-
ZIONIST, thorough and lifelong abolitionist.-
The recreant son ought certainly to know that
the leaders and the masses of the party, with
which hesis now acting, always relied upon this
infamous charge. not less than upon the charge
of bargain and corruption, to work his illus
trious fathers destruction. And, knowing
this, he should be especially careful how be
harls such a-charge at tzethers. and Taaestlespe'
cially CAREFUL how he hurls it at a man who
stood by Henry Clay in every struggle fol
nearly quarter of a century, and until the il
lustrious statesman's death.

ALI Tunes TO ALE MEx.-Dour,as ut

ALI THINGS TO ALL MEN.-Dougias uttered
it as maxim that no political sentiment was
sound which could not be uttered in any
State of the Union. If the people of South
Carolina do not choose to tolerate any senti
NEST, it cannot be sound one. He, however
manages to get over the difficulty by adapting
his sentiments to the particular locality be
happens to be in.
At Freeport, in Illinois, he makes light oi
the Dred Scott decision and declares that the
people of the Territories may practically an
nul it if they choose. At New Orleans he
thinks the Dred Scott decision just the thing,
and fiatters the South with the advantages
that it secures to her. In Virginia he never
once alludes tosthe Tariff; but in Pennsylva-
MIA he tries to make the people believe that
he, lifelong advocate of Free Trade, is in
favor of protection. In this State he boldly
proclaimed his hostility to fusion but in New
York, where his friends are committed to flu
sion, he makes it merit to be in favor of
that which he condemned in Pennsylvania.
And thus he win go through the country,
shaping his views to suit his audiences, and
taking ground on both sides of all questions
as necessity may dictate. He is all things to
all men.
This double dealing serves his present pur-
poses, and that seems to be all be cares for

A Boy OF Ten YEARS On Trial FOR MUIR
pKR.--A boy named Finley was recently tried
at CARLYLE, III, for the murder of his uncle,
DR.. Wren. The proof of the prosecution
was that on the 5th of July last, Wren and
the boy were left alone together for one or
two hours. iu room in drinking house, and
tl,li al the eild Of that period they were found
there-W Wren dying of wounds and bruises on
the head, and the young boy sitting or living
on a bench singing. There was no evidence
Of any quarrel between them. or of any mo-
tive for the deed. On the contrary, it was
proved by the prosecution that the boy was
playing with his uncle about three o'clock
and straddle of him as he lay upon the floor
doing it in a frolcsome way. The boy show
ed no signs of fear nor consciousness of guilt
and the writer of the letter from which We
quote intimates that the boy had no capacity
to distinguish between good and evil. Th'
verdict of the jury was not known to ths
writer, but there was no doubt of an acquit
| tai.
