MYSTERIOUS MURDER.-Dr Geo. Pettigrew,
q well known and highly esteeaed citizen of
Sewer County, aud a member of the Legisla.
ture. was assassinated Tuesday night, ;h Q
9th inst, at his residence in Brownstown.
He bad been to Paraclifta that day and re-
turned home late in the evening. whilst at
supper, soon after nightfall, thr-e men rode
up to his front gate and called him out. He
rose from the table and walked out. When
within about three feet of the gate, he was
shot down with u load, probably from a sho
gun, consisting of a ball aud several buckshot
he died instantly. 1t is to be hoped that the
nurderers may be taken. and by due process

The MISSOURI SRNAroRs.-Hon. Waldo p.
johnson and Hon. Trusten Polk were members
Of the u. :. Senate, at the time Of the seces-
ion of Missouri For their adherence to the
Confederate cause they were dismissed the
Senate.
Waldo p. johnson is now q member Of the
Confederate Senate, having recently been ap-
pointed BY Gov. Thos. G. Reynolds, to fill the
vacancy occacioned by the death of Hen. k.
Y. l.. Peyton He has been admitted and ia
ken his seat
Trusten Polk it seems, has faltered in his
patriotism and adds another name to the
slender list of prominent men in the SoutB,
who have proven themselves unworthy Of the
confidence which had been reposed in them.
We learn from hs St. Louis Republican that
he has returned home, been pardoned under
the amnesty act, and reinstated in his civil
rights.
This gives great offence to the radicals in
Missouri Such clemency is. fortunately for
US. not at all to their taste The "Westlitche
Post thus pitches in to the President:
..This Is not the case Of q deluded young
man, but Of an experienced and Intelligent po>
litical leader, who has even been U. s. Sen
ator once. To pardon him il more than reck-
leckness: it is putting the case Of the Union
on a stake in the most perilous manner"
Again il SAYS: Affairs have come to such
q pass. that a notorious rebel receives grace,
FROM Mr. Lincoln, while the radical people OF
Missouri cannot even get IEsfice."
These remarks are noticeable as specimen
,f the tone of the ultra radical press. One
thing begins TO appear plainly. Lincoln must
yield 10 the demands Of the ultra party and
place himself in their hands, or lie will be
uroppcd Between them on one hand and th {
Democrats on the other, his position is nj to
gether untenabls. He will 60 down in tn Z

not have him. He has no escape but into the
arms Of the fercest OF the faaatics. How silly,
thea. to hope for any favor towards Southern
people IN case Of cur subjugation. Confsca-
tions, political disabilities, negro equality,
with a considerable amount Of hanging tor the
most devoted Of our patriots, will be our pOr-
ton.

THE PROGRAMME PRooEEDs.-In our last We
gave some accounts Of the atrocities Of the
negro troops in a late expedition under Gen.
Buffers directions against Elizabeth City in
North Carolina. One of the incidents of that
affair was not published. We take it from the
North Carolina Standard, as follows:
ssIn one instance we have heard of body of
these negroes entering a private house, and
demanding dinner, which .hey insisted should
be cooked By the lady Of the house. While en-
gagged in preparing the food for her negro
guests the scoundrels INDUCED in the most
loathsome ribaldry; one of them with his foot
throwing the lady's clothes over her back and
shoulders, while the rest set up loud peals of
laughter"
No doubt the Northern ladies read that in
the morning paper. with their tolerably large
feet upon the tenders, surrounded by elegant
furniture and silver ware their husbands have
stolen from Southern homesteais and enjoy it
vastly. Good anecdote. Else why crown But
