The Diamond Nrurder.

There is at last a clue to the murder Of the
Polish jew, Fellner, who had come to this
country with $4,000 worth Of diamonds and
jeWelry to sell. Of course THERE'S woman in
the scrape. It seems that on the steamer from
Europe we're two Jewesses, sisters, with the
younger whom Fellner contracted an improp-
er intimacy. They knew the extent Of his
wealth, and doubtless took counsel with par
ties at New York to slay him. To this end
the cider sister got up scene With stile.to,
at his rooms in the Prescott House: and q
confederate in the plot coming in at a couye.
n1ent moment after her departure, was told
the story by the unsuspecting Fellner. This
person, named Radetzki, advised that he re-
tire to more private lodgings, and helped to
remove his effects from the hotel, since when
nothing was known OF him until the dead
body was found over in New jersey, stabbed
in nineteen places around the heart. The
women and the family With whom they
boarded, have been arrested, and are found to
have money aud jewelry that they confess to
have been his, but which they say was given
as hush money. Radetzski is still at large.
From the New Yo,k World, Monday,1
Aae4tIua I1auu1s out Ol tQ6 Iflnale5 arrest
ed on suspicion Of being implicated in the
mn1der 53 Of the Polish Jew, Fel1ner, near
Middletown, n. j., committed suicide
on Saturday morning, by hanging heralef in
the cell where SHE WAS locked up.
The female suicide was young and beautiful
JeWese, only twenty two years of age, highly
educated, accomplished, and possessed Of fine
figure and pleasing and innocent expression
Of countenance. Her sister, Mrs. Marks, ar.
rested at the same time with her, says that
she was pasionately fond Of the murdered man
and ascr1bes the suicide to depression caused
by his death. She protests her own innocence
end that Of her sister, and alleges that man
was the murderer.
Another important witness in the case was
arrested yesterday. His name is Jacob New
mann. He was to have married Albertina
Pfanm, and WAS offered $1,000 by her sister,
Mrs. Marks, to do go. The money, however,
Kss not forthcoming, and the marriage cere.
mony Was not corsummated. Mrs. Marks
herself has lived in this city, and in Philadel-
phia and San francisco, in iii about fourteen
years. She went to Germany for the express
purpose Of bringing out her sister, whose ca
reer has been so suddenly Terminated,

have in former letters indicated that
concentration of all the forces IN Eastern,
Central, and Western Kentucky would be
made against Buekner, and would doubtless
result In his retreat from his position at Bow
ling Green. The movements necessary to
this concentration are hardly completed, yet
the traitorous leader and his rebel horde have
left their entrenchments at Bowling Green and
retired towards Russellviue, thinking perhaps
that distance not only lends enchantment to
the view, but safety to the observer. Ever
since his failure to reach Louisville compelled
Bucbler to retire to Bowling Green, he has
been fortif5ing that place, the topography Of
which affords many natural advantages which,
improved by the art Of the engineer, would
present serious obstacles to the attacking
party. The river, making q bend at the city,
appears not unlike q .horseshoe, with high
hills On the inner side, while the peninsula
between the two points Of the shoe is guarded
by high, sugar-loaf shaped hill. This point

PART OF THE HISTORY,

When Secretary Cameron visited the
Army Of the West, he had in his pocket
the Presidents order for the removal of
Gen. Fremont He was clothed with dis
cretionary power, to use or suppress it as
he should see fit. The arrangements for
delivering it to Gen. Hunter were made,
and Adjutant General Thomas spent
part Of the night in the Generals quarters
in anxious consultation with him upon the
plan Of the campaign. Meanwhile, the
Secretary was closeted with Gen. Fremont,
and the persuasions Of the latter to be per-
mitted to follow Price and redeem his
error, prevailed, aud Mr.. Cameron
pocketed the order and returned to the
Capital. MI. Lincoln was not satisfied
with the arrangement, and was to send off
a messenger with the order of removal
when the disaster at Balls Bluff fell
upon him. Mr. Seward, fearing the effect of
the defeat and the contemplated change
in the Department Of the West upon the
courage and hopetulness Of the people, en-
treated the President to withhold his ac-
ton few days, and to that entreaty he
yielded. At length, impressed with the
conviction that the condition of affairs in
was intolerable, he carried out
bis original purpose. The order Was sent
to Gen. Curtis, in command at st. Louis,
and by him forwarded to Hunter, who at
once proceeded to act by its authority.
That, we believe, is the history of the af-
Fair; and while We thank the President
for his action, we cannot but regret that
it vas SO long and unnecessarily delayed.
There has never been day when, had it
been known to the country that ABRAHAM
LINCOLN was convinced from the testi-
mony before him that Gen. Fremont was
not equal to the place to which he was
that they would not at once and
e1nhesitatingly yielded to whatever action
his judgment, guided by his patriotism,
might have dictated. The confidence Of
the masses in the unambiious loyalty of
the President hasneyer been impaired, and
may it be long before his acts which
spring from his obligations to the country
are disputed!

Andrew J2cksonss Testimony.

In the campaign Of 1872, near New Orleans,
no more distinguished services were rendered
By any body Of troops than by the colored
men Whem General jackson called into his
army. Then, as in the earlier war Of the rev
olution, this race Of people were regarded
not only as fit to bear arms in the cause Of
their country, but their gallantry was racog-
n5zed by all the rewards paid to any troops.
But these were the old times. We, OF this
generation, have risen superior to such exam
Pies. We are sending white men into the
teid to be shot down by negroes or Indians
pressed into the rebel service, or to act as
slsre catche1s for disloyM masters; while the
"DiV1ne Institution " that has caused this war
must not be touched. It is refreshing, hoE-
ever, if we may not follow the example, at
least to revive the recollections Of the past.
Here is Andrew Jackson's testimony:
i'Toea,natioz to tbs free coIored inha6itants Of
Louisiana:
Through mistaken policy you hsve been here
tolo1e deprived Of participation in the glorious
struggle national rights in which our country

The storm on the Atlantic coast, last Teek.
Was cne ct the most severe for years, and de-
ilEed, BESIDES, new interest from the fact
that the coast expedition was supposed to be
in 1t. These storms, which frequently Occur
in autumn and winter, commence in the tropi-
cal regions and take from three to five days
IN beating up the coast. The fact, then, that
the gale spent It's fury at Fortress Monroe On
Friday, at New York on Saturday, and along
the New England coast On Sunday; with the
other fact that some of the smaller craft OF
tfe expedition had turned back reporting
themselves unable to stand againet the sea,
sforded reasonable grounds for alarm, mil
news was received that the fleet had safely
b1aved Cape Fear and was beyond the influence
OF the tempest. It is now understood that the
fleet encountered only the heel Of the storm,
and the suffering was confined to those tugs
and fezry-bosts that from their peculiar build
Tor inland service we're Ill prepared to run in
heavy Sea- Two Of these boats returned to
Hampton Roads, while the others continued
on their course, and they found it difficult to
follow the great leaders Of the feet. Wehaye
yet to learn of any disaster among them. It
was the policy of the Commodore to stand out
to sea, that the fleet might not be obserYed
from the coast.
The New York aud Boston papers give
lengthy reports OF the damage caused By the
storm, which is said to have had no equal in
severity in tWenty.fy years.. The tide ia East
river, N. T., submerged the docks and flooded
the streets up as far as Beaver street, in some
places knee deep. There .Tas considerable
loss On property along the Wharves or stored
in cellars. The shipping In the harher suffered
all sorts Of minor brcakages. It Is estimated
that not lees than fifteen hundred houses in
jersey City and on the meadows between that
and Newark, we're submerged. The Newark
turnpike WAS covered In places threefeet desp,
and portion Of the railroad track was washed
away.
The lower part of Baltimore was submerged;
eleven barges Were wrecked 1T North Point,
and several other barges were wrecked be
tween Hayre de Grace and Locust Point.
We have already announced the wreck Of
the Liverpool ship, Mariana, ut the entrance
Of Boston hatbor, and the loss Of twenty
seven Lives, by this storm. The circumstances
Of the disaster, which occurred within sight OF
ashore from which assistance could not come,
are heartrendirg.:

and Buffalo papers speak Of the gale as hsy-
ing he9n somewhat remarkable, but there are
