Panorama of Ghe RebeliiOn.-This fine
Panorama was exhibited at Simmons Hall last
evening The paintings were eminently well cal
culated to give a true and accurate idea of the
position and appearance ofthe subjects it presents
The delineations were excellent and showed In
themselves that they were natural and true.
Among the most graphic, vivid pictures, were
the different views Of Charleston. the mother of
treason and hotbed of secession, with its shipping
&c The views of the Forts Castle Pinekney ,moul
trie and Sumpter were well-designed, and gave the
audience a correct idea of their position and
strength. The accurate description of their din
mensions, strength and the historical facts and
events connected with them was interesting and
instructive. Also the views of the cities of Washr
ingtou and Harpers Ferry were vivid and natural,
giving definite and fixed impression OF the sp-
pearance of these cities and their public buildings
and places of interest which the exhibitor pointed
out In fact, all the views were well gotten up
and a. they were sketched on the spot by good ar
lifts, they are of course accurate and true. The
views of the Cities, Forts, Navy Yards, battles
naval engagements, &c, accompanied with the
grspbic historical events which have made them
forever notsd in the annals of our country arelwe
worthy the attention OF all; and the general in
formation connected with this which one de-
riyes from them is invaluable to those who desire
correct impressions aud ideas relative TO the po-
,ition and general appearance of notable pl aces

The amendment of the constitution voted on
at the last election was carried by large ma
iority-and takes effect on tie Doth. Jan. inst.
This provision reduces the rate of interest to be
charged or taken by Banks to seven per. cent
on and aft er that date. As the law stood up
to 1860, seven per cent was lawful interest, but
parties could contract for any rate of interest
up to twelve per cent. The law of 1850 amen

The Milwaukee Wisconsin of Saturday last
gives the following account of the arrest OF David
Shearer. the supposed murderer of VIM. Taylor
in the town of Randall in this county. Mr.. Shear
or was brought this city and lodged in the coun
ty Jail on Saturday last, by ex Sheriff Stebbns
The W1sconsin Gays:
1T will be recollected that Taylor had started
South, with perhaps 81 900 in his possession. with
which to purchase army horses that had been cast
aside useless, and bring them homo to fatten'
and then sell them again. Shearer had tor some
| time plotted his murder, and we believe was the
protector of the horse scheme. lie started from
here with TAYLOR, and without reiterstng what we
have already published, let it answer TO add that
| he murdered TAYLOR in Kenosha county, and un-
doubtedly secured what money he had. Shearer's
father II v be recollecte is respectable farm
or living not far from the scene Of the murder.
As soon as the evidence before the Coroner's
Jury in Kenoshs county, disclosed the connection
of David Shearer with the murder, Sheriff StebbinS
of enosha came to THE city in search of the muir
derer, and applied to Fl. L. Page, Chief of Polce,
for his aid
On inquiry, it was ascertained that Shcarer on
learning that the body of Taylor had been found,
had left this city whittier he was rash enough to
come after the murder) by the Chicago train. The
oficers followed him to Chicago, and there, after
considerable effort and thorough search they
were able to strike the murderers track. They
learned that he had taken the IL clock night ex~
press train on the Northwestern raj road, New
Year's eve aud we're ;hen certain that they had
al.no-, got me ora en.Iapped. They mmediere
no M
messages to every pg!uI in the northwest
Taking his tfaiI they followed him 10 h.aleso-
ia junction in .Dis state, where they were lais4-
rec ed, and whence taey made search at all the
points Oh the La crosse road, vest oftle Junction
Soon fiud-ng that they off The track they G.
raced their steps and turned 10 the north, where
hey again struck his trail, and followed him to
Green Bay, and from there to Oconto county,
where he was arrested. He was found in lum-
,er camp, about forty miles north of Green Bay,
md when discovered he made no resistance to the
ficers. although he we'll armed with SPLEEN
lid Colts revolver, navy size, we'll charged, and
lie had evowed TO his friends that he would never
,e taken alive.
He denies all knowledge of the murder, and pre-
erves a settled sulleu demeanor. There was on
y SIC in money found upon him, when arrested,
ut the officers of the opinion that the whole
the amount of money taken from lay lor, will
Q recovered.
Messrs, Stebbins and Page returned to this city
nth the murderer last night, and he was taken to
.enosha by the early train this morning, by Shero
Stebbins We hope that the Sheriff will keep .
i'm in a secure place, and we only regret that
lsre is not law in this State for hanging such
eartless villain as this Shearer is"
