e HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION NEAR MILAxa 4 sinou
l. lar case, involving circumstances of peculiar afro
u city, is now undergoing investigation before tbe
t Criminal Court at Milan. On the 3lst of October
last one GlOa, person of ndepe ndent fortune re-
c siding at Mezo, a small borough in the neighbor
hood of Milan, was missing. An active search was
instituted for several days, but without success
In the meanwhile circumstances elected tend
ing 10 throw suspicion on certain CarroZZl, whose
house Gioja had been to approach on the night
OF the 3Gth, after having taken leave of his friends
CarrozzFs house was surrounded by picket Of the
National Guard, and the attention of the authori
Ties having been arrested by the loose and fresh
appearance of the soil in garden attached to the
dwelling, further Investigations made, result
ing in the discovery of the body of the missing
who had been assassinated and hastily buried at a
distance OF scarcely two feet from the surface of the
ground. Carrozz and all his family were instantly
secured and conveyed to prison. In the course of
the trial the accused volunteered confession, of
winch the following is summary: Carrozzi, being
IN pressing want of money in order to complete the
necessary preparations for his approaching mar
rage, and being under heavy pecuniary obligations
10 the deceased, came to the conclusion that, in
order to retrieve his embarrassed financial posi-
tlon 1T was in the first place necessary to berate
himself from the presence of troublesome a
creditor. His plans were communicated to his
bosom friend and lOdger, Lewis Gatti, who gave
MS concurrence to the project, fixing the price
OF his cooperation the release of small balance of
rent, amounting to 40 Milanese iras, and the pay
ment OF ten-franc piece in cash. Gioa was de.
coyed to the house by the promise of payment of
an account OF ~ NapoleonS owing to him by Car
| rozzl As soon as the victim safely housed,
| the confederates, presenting each a pistol at the
| headol the unhappy creditor, easily succeeded in
| obtaining a receipt for the 80 Napoeons, and
| afterwards the release of bill of exchange for
300O0k of which he was the holder, and which had
| stlil some time to run. AS the required
| signatures had been obtained the signal of death
was given In an instant Carrozzi had felled the
! poor wretch to the ground: a gag was forced into
| his mouth, and hurried cash in the throat from
Gattl's knife completed the business. The corpse
was flung into the garden and covered with leaves
| After midnight when all was huShed, it was to be
| carried away to some distant spot, and the mur
| derers contented themselves with digging hole
about two feet deep, and slowing the body therein
| dressed as it was, and easily recognizable. The
case, as far as regards Carrozzi is virtually at
| an end; but the alleged completely of Gatti, who
loudly protests his innocence still occupies the at
| tention of the tribunal.
SAD HIsToRY.-The Boston Traveller of Thurs
day, in mentioning the burial on the previous day
| oil a member of a once wellknown wholesale
druggist firm in North Market street, who died in
the 59th year of his age, thus comments upon some
sadly suggestive phases of his history:
The deceased was connected with some of the
best families in the State, was literally educated,
graduated as physician from one of the first col
| leges IN the country, and married the daughter of
wealthy citizen of Boston. Naturally of a free
| and generous disposition, and fond of good living
he did not accumulate any property aud some eight
years since went to California, for the purpose of
| bettering his condition. While he was absent his
wlte's father died, leaving her handsome proper
| ty, the income Of which has enabled her to live
WIN ease and elegance IN Beacon street; but upon
| her husbands return from his unsuccessful trip
she refused to live with him, expressing no other
reason than his misfortunes in business.
he was subsequently attacked with infiammatory
rheumatism and taken to the hospital, but his case
| proving incurabe, and having no means of sun
| port, he was removed to the island as a pauper
Through the exertions of his mother, however, who
| Is IN her eightieth year, he was brought back to
| the city and taken care of by her, with what as
! sistance the chartably disposed have rendered
until relieved by death. During all this long and
! painful illness his wife aud daughter, although
living in afiuence and luxury, have never visited
| him or contributed shilling to keep him from
starving. The last day that he was able to 90 out
was on the occasion of the visit of the Prince of
Wales to this city. With the assistance of two |
crutches he managed to reach the Common, where |
he saw for the last time, bis wife and daughter
the latter young lady of twenty-but they did
not degn to cast look of recognition upon the
cripple and pauper who had once borne the endear
ing title of husband and father to them.
THE EVACUATION OF FORT SUMrEn-Tho New
York Times of yesterday concludes an article on
the proposed evacuation of Fort Sumter, as fol-
lows:
In these circumstances, what is the duty of the
Government at Washington? Shall it persist in
the attempt to retain position, the untenabenPss
of which is demonstrated by every military advis-
err by every fact within its knowledge, and by the
unwilling testimony Of the Commander himself?
In this utterly hopeless enterprise, shall it precp-
tate civil conflict, the deplorabe results of which
will be not only the industrial and social ruin of
this generation, but an Inheritance of feud and
bloodshed to its successors? When the border
States, with patriotic moderation, have withdrawn
all other conditions of their abiding loyalty to the
Union, save abstinence from coercion, shall we
ali at bv nh al
sPrfS uaf zee,iWhraGtfaRe pQnt of honor, the Off
the questions which engage the anxious attention
OF the new Cabinet and engross its deliberations.
Upon the determination, the immediate and remote
future OF the people are dependent.
The Pittsburg Dispatch takes very different
view:
Great surprise, and intense indignation, was
caused in all quarters Mondayby the dispatches
from Washington announcing that the Government
had determined to surrender Fort Sumter No
matter what the reason assigned for the step
whether the seductive persuasOns of the border |
slave States, or the absolute impracticability, as
alleged OF reinforcing in season-the fact is re-
gardeG as establishing beyond peradventure that
our Republican Government is failure-incapable
Of maintaining ITSELF as it has proved unable to
defend the liberty, the property, the lives OF its
Northern subjects against the contemplate slave
holding minority!
A HAND-CARr EMIGRANT TO Pixies PEAK.-A cor
respondent writing from Denver city to the st.
Louis Republican, relates the following:
''l knew young man in Lawrence, Kansas, not
yet OF age, who left that city in company with
boy much younger than himself 1t was about the
! time so many were returning, pronouncing our
mineral researches mOnstrous humbug. This
couple ofgold Adventures pushed out of Lawrence
en- route for this place. All they possessed in the
world was packed into rather rcketty hand cart.
They pushed it on before them, camping under it
at night until they reached Fort Riley, where the
| younger of the two became discouraged by the
reports Of its being all a delusion and a humbug
| IN m, bour h,-t tbo
ing adVenturers, and concluded to return All his
efforts to induce his travelling companion to accom-
pany him back were of NO avail; and there, the
| wide prairie, those two parted company, one to
| return to his home, the other to push his hand
cart before him until he reached the mountains
''Aiter encountering many difficulties and DELAYS
occasioned by breakdowns, he at last reached his
destination. lie came into the mountains took up
some claims, sold some, purchased Others went on
| to the States last fall, found a gentleman with
whom he formed a cO-partnership, bought quartz
MILL and last spring brought it out and set it up
here. The mill proved to be the worst constructed
| piece of machinery ever brought to these mines,
and has since been laid aside useless, and one of
| Totten's welve stampers put in its place. The
young has recently sold his interest in the old
mill and his claims on the Fisk Lode for something
over Sl1 900 cash. He still has valuable gold claims
! here, and presume he is now in st. Louis to pur-
chase of Totten's mills, which he intends put
ting up here next spring"
| SUPERINTENDENT KENNEDY AND HIS FRIENDs.-
ed Superintendent of Police for New York and all
| North America, is very much hurt at the great
injustice done him by the Republican press, in
| nection with the discovery of that terrible plot
against the life of Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Kennedy's
Republican friends are endeavoring to explain his
position by saying that he acted under the advice
of General Scott; that be did not believe that there
was any plot at all in existence, but that General
| Scott thought there was plot, and some of the
| Baltimore police thought so too though they
| denied it afterwards. Now, the best thing Mr..
| Kennedy could do-for he is a very smart man and
| good policeman, notwithstanding the abuse of
the Republicans-would be to come out with the
whole unvarnshed truth. We should like to know
the exact length and breadth, depth and thickness,
of this terrible conspiracy which led to those ex-
traordinary developements of the Scotch cap and
long military cloak.
II is said that Mr.. Kennedy, disgusted with the
| ingrattude of the world, intends to conline his
detections in future to this city and the metropo
tan distric and leave the country to take care of
ITSELF He is going to establish new station houses
! in localities hitherto very much neglected; in
| short, to make radical reform in the Police De-
| partment. If he does this we will give him every
aid and comfort even, perhaps to the obtaining OF
the United States Marsbalship, as a reward for
saving the life of the second Washington.-N. Y
Herald.
HORRIBLE OCCURRENCES We learn from the Sa-
| lem (Ill.) Advocate th at young lady from an
| dalia arrived at Potoka in search of a school on
| last Friday night. Desiring to go to the house OF
A Mrs Galtney, about two miles off, she obtained
the company of woman named Mary Watiey, as
| a puide. They started about ten O'Clock at night,
! and. getting lost, wandered about till morning.
| when they came upon fire, and stopped to warm.
| Here the Young ady's clothes caught fire, and the
| woman instead of trying to put out the fire, left
| the Young girl and started for farm house about
