From Dayton b"-on the 18th of this
month, Mrs Burch, Of Bartemia, Ia, died
suddenly, and under such circumstances Of
suffering that she, was believed to have been
poisoneds Her husbands conduct on the oc-
casion brought him under the suspicion Of
having done the horrid deed, and he was ac-
corGingly arrested, and held for trial. The

Immediately after the death Of Mrs. Burcb,

to purchase the necessary burial clothes, &c,
for the occasion, and also banded sealed
but unindorsed letter TO the messenger with
verbal instructions to deliver it to certain
woman, a stranger, whom he supposed would
be found at the hotel in Winchester.
The man called at the place as directed and
found woman who had just arrived there,
who claimed TO be the wife of Mr. Calvin
Burch. The letter was opened ana was found
to be very brief, merely communicating the
fact of the womarl's death, and enjoined the
necessity, on the part Of the new conner OF
keeping civil till the dead woman was put
away. lue btTahBo iaug1 ho"OfOti SNlA'O

REPUBLIC OF THE WEST.

If il be true that Jesse d. Bright and
T. A. Hendricks. of Indiana. have ayowed
open hostilities to Abolitiondom as rep
resented by Abraham Lincoln and his
deluded satellites. it is significant OF more
matter of swelling moment than any item
which has of late been borne on the wires.
and vet such report comes to Us form
the press of the North, and from sources
seemingly reliable and authentic. We
are told Bright and Hendricks have nine ty-
three thousand men ready TO take the
field against the Abolitionists-to strike
for disenthrament from the East. These
are not men to act hastily or without due
consideration. They are sure of their
position and have counted the cost of
their act They are prepared and well
Endorsed. and though chieftains among the
best and the noblest and wisest of the
land, their endorsers are scarcely less
notable and distinguished than them
selves. They aim at an empire IN the
West, another republic whose present

PEACE.

When Lincoln shall have reached the
end of his war tether. and is forced to
give up all hope of subjugation. the great
diffic oIies for making peace will begin to
be apparent. Ii is clear 10 US that the
Confederates should conduct the negoti
ations with arms in their hands, nor
submit to an armistice until New Orleans.
and every other position on Confederate
soil in Federal hands. is given up
Abraham Lincoln will never consent to
treat for peace until the power to make
war has passsd from his hands. That
time is rapidly approaching. as is evil
denced by thousand signs aud shadows
of the coming events. When his fnan-
ces break down-when several Middle
and Western States shall rise 10 rebellion
against the supreme folly of his admin
istration-and his armies in the field
melt away under the various dissolving
influences now powerfully operating up
on them-Mr Lincoln will be powerless
and then comes the Confederate oppor-
tunity. 1t will then be easier TO take
back New Orleans and Pensacola. and
other points. by arms. than to gain them
through years of May negotiation with
that diplomatic trickster, Mr.. Seward.
The Confederate government cannot with
safety put off its armor or sheath the
sword, until all points of boundary and
conflicting rights and interests are finally
adjusted. In other words. when our
gigantic enemy will have exhausted his
strength by the very vigor of bis efforts.
The South will have him down, and
should hold him there until peace, hon
orable. satisfactory and just to all obliga-
tions, has been forced upon him. Our
greatest danger will spring from too
great desire and hurry for peace. We
will be worse than the original precipIta-
ton into the Noble Eoening Ne,os.

TIE REPORTED DESTRUCTION OF THE FLoR-
IDA.-The Northern papers, of the I'd, con-
tain the rumors which were ia circulation at
Havana on the 28th ult., of the loss of the
Confederate steamer Florida, (Hez 0Fieto. J
The following is summary of the rumors !:
On Tuesday, January IT, IT reported
in Havana that heavy firing had been heard
at Matanzas and Cardenas, as if coming
from vessels of war engaged in a serious
contest at sea. 1t was also stated that the
Florida or some other rebel vessel had been
chased by several Union gunboats but
with what result had not been learned IL
was then believed at Matanzas that the firing
and chasing were connected with the same
vessel. This rumor was strengthened by the
arrival of the Creole, from New York, on the
following day, which reported that she had
been spoken By the Union gunboat Cayuga,
which vessel reported that she had observed
a steamer on fire, supposed to be the Flori-
da, and that three other vessels were firing
into her with great rapidity- The locality OF
this engagement not definitely stated
but that it was in the vicinity Of the Cages,
of Cardeuas ard IatanZas,

NAPoLEoN's VIEWS WITH REGARD TO
MEXICO The assertion of Napoleon re-
garding Mexico, as contained in his let
ter to General Forey. the French COM
mander in that country. is important.
The following is an extract of the letter /:
There will not be wanting people who
ask you why we go TO lavish men and
money for the establishment of a regular
Government In Mexico. In the present
state of the civilization of the world the
prosperity OF America is not matter of
indifference to Europe for it is she who
feeds our manufactures and gives life to
our commerce We have an interest in
this-that the Republic of the United
States be powerful and prosperous, but
we have none in this-that she should
seize possession of all the Mexican Gulf
dominate from thence the Antilles, as
South America, and be the sole dispen
ser of the products of the New World
We see now. by sad experience how
precarious is the fate of an industry which
is reduced to seeking its chief raw mate
rial in one market alone. to all the vicis
sitndes OF which il has to submit If, on
the other hand. Mexico preserves its in
fuence and maintains the integrity of its
territory, if stable Government is con-
stituted with the assistance of France,
we shall have restored to the Latin race
on the other side of the ocean its strength
and prestige we shall have established
our bene6cient Influence in the centre of
America, and this influence. By presents
ing immense openings for our commerce,
will procure US the materials indiSpens-
bic TO our industry. Mexico thus regen-
Grated will always be favorable 10 us,
not only from gratitude, but also because
her interest will be in harmony with ours,
and she will find powerful support in
her good relations with the European
Powers. To day. then our pledged nils
itary honor. the exigency of our policy,
the interest of our industry and of our
commerce. all make it a duty to march
upon Mexico, and boldly plant there our
flag to establish either a monarchy, if it
is not Incompatible with the national
sentiments of the country. or at all events
a Government which promises some sta
bility.
