the testimony of the Policema,
Moore, who Octcd as j ,ilrrd's 'shad

pecnli r in the annals OF American
Jurisprudence. On the night of tn,
3Oth OF June, 1860, Jol II Walton
while walking with John w. Mat
thews, was shot dead hy an assassin
Matthews pursued the murderer, auc
was then shot by him. Tue homi.
eide then concealed himself in an
area, where he was seen by a ser
want girl, who, thinking him mic,
yonng man who had been pursued
by crowd of rowdies, did not max,
known his place of concealment.
Jeflerds was coon after arrested
and tried for the murder of Walton
The evidence relied on for his con.
viction turned partly on ditliculiies
existing between his family and that
OF Walton and every effort was made
to prove his identity rs the asa ssin
The Jury. However, was not satisfied
in regard to this pivot TACT and he
was acquitted, his handsome looks
and manly bearing telling strongly

letter. j frrds draak with him,
went about with him, ard engaged
in every kid OF dissipation in his

and Moore actually came into the
establishment Of the brother of the

But, the circumstances considered

quires all the strength Of the Gov

most powerful nation on the face o

or retention Of the rebel envoys

important advantage has been gaiu
ed, England has always claimed
the right Of search, while the United
Ststes, and tho other maratimv ma
tions OF the world have contcnded
against II This 10 o case in which
this principle 10 involved, and Eng
land by her demand has abandoned
her ground and come to ours. BY
acceeding to her demand. the prin'
ciple 90 long contended for by all
nations except England is establish
ed, and this vexed question settled
forever,
In another view Of the case, the
wisdom Of the Administration in
this matter is apparent. By making
this concession We have removed all
cause Of grievance, and If England
makes war upon us, she can give no
reason for it. II will be a wanton,
unprovoked attack, without cause,
and without reason. In such al
struggle, we would have the sympa-
thies Of all the nations OF tho world
save, England, and we doubt wheth-
or the masses Of the English people
would sustain their Governmen, in
such Q war. We stand uow upon
solid, defenaible ground, and If Egg.
land makes war upon us, she must
be the aggressor.
We Lave no idea, however, that
the release Of these men, diminishcs
the chances Of war very muck. The
English press, have from the begin.
ming Of our troubles. advocated the
rebel cause, and the Government
has seized every opportunity to an.
noy and embarrass US. There is on :
her part, an evident desire to take :,
advantage oi our trouble, and des- !
roy the only nation that disputes :,

We should lose no time in pre-. -
'aring for this emergency. More :,

Romantic,

Last week company of Mormon
emigrants arrived at Boston, on their way
to Utah. Among them was noticed young
man, more distinguished in his appearance
than the remainder of the company, and
near him two young females, deeply veil
ed, whose delicate grace and reserve indi-
Gated them as belonging to a superior So
cial position. Their history merits rela-
ton. Ludwig Feroe was the son of
rich landholder in Sweden, and the two
young ladies were two young orphans, who
were brought up with him in his fathers
family, until he left for college, at Don
theim, where be remained several years,
and afterwards travelling over the greater
part of Europe, his former playmates were
forgotten Returning at last to his home,
he was astonished to find two beautiful
women, dazzling as the Undine of the
poet. lie was struck to the heart as with
an arrow He was in love, but with
which one? Both were splendidly beau
tiful. He was enamored of both. He
was in a whirlpool of doubt, indecision
and perplexity. 1t was necessary to come
to some decision, and he naturally came
to most droll one. In an excess of des-
perate frankness he related to the two
young girls the state of his feelings
They laughed at him at first, then they
reflected, and the result of their reflections
was that they both loved Ludwig, and
we're as embarrassed as he. About this
time one of the Mormon apostles passing
through the place, sought to make pros
elytes to the doctrine of the Saints, and
converted the young man and two girls
Thus Ludwig Feroe and his two compan-
ions, Nina and Evohe, form part of the
Mormon emigrants on their way to Salt
Lake, where the romance of love and the
duplication of wives will be speedily d.
vested Of all charm by the low associations
around them.
