ST. LOUIS, June l2.--The rebel Col. Mdgofin,
who escaped from Alton prison over one year
ago while under sentence of death, has been
murdered within the rebel lines, in Sewer coun-
ty, Ark. His son, Major Magofin, pursued the
the murderer and caught him. ...,.
The rebel General Shelby, at last accounts,
was near Batesyille, pursued by Federal forces
under Gen. West This will doubtless prevent
his contemplated raid in Missouri.
NKw. York, June l3.-United States Marshal
Murray was arrested to day by the sheriff Of
Greene county, on warrant issued under an in
dictment by the grand jury of the county, for
kidnapping. The matter will probably be ar
ranged SO that the Marshal will be released on
his own recognizance to appear when wanted.

VERDICT AGAINST MARSHAL MURRAY.--The
New York Post gives an account of trial in
Green county, in which Albert W. Patrie, a
farmer, brought suit against Marshal Murray,
for Illegal arrest, and obtained damages to the
amount Of SO, 900. 1t is stated that Mr.. Patrie
was confined in Fort Lafayette, and that his
friends made application to bail him out, but
bail was refused, and Murray told Patrie that
the only lawyer who could be of any service to
him was one Beebe, whom Murray sent to Patrie.
Beebe demanded one hundred dollars for his SER
vices for drawing a bail bond, against which
Patrie demonstrated, but gave him all the money
he had about him, which was twenty-five dol
dollars '''
Arbitrary arrests, " says the Post, ''are haz-
ardous experiments. The courts are open, and
when men feel tina, injustice has been done them,
they are very apt to seek, and quite certain, we
believe to obtain Justice"
The Post thinks that Mr.. Patrie acted wisely
in appealing to the law for protection. He had
not only been kept in Fort Lafayette for some
time, but he had, previously to his removal to
the Fort, been confined in the Elm Street prison.
If therefore, the accounts given by the Albany
-drgus are correct, says our contemporary, the de-
cision is just.

My own decided preference is to aid in
this way, and not to be myself u candi-
date. But if Mr.. Lincoln should be re-
nominated, as | believe it will be fatal to
the country to endorse policy and renew
power which has cost us the lives of
thousands of men, and needlessly put the
country on the road to bankruptcy, there
will remain no alternative but to organize
against him every element of conscientious
opposition, with the view to prevent the
misfortune of his reelection.
In this contingency | accept the nomi-
nation at Cleveland, and as preliminary
step | have resigned my commission in
the army. This was sacrifice it gave me
pain to make. But had for long time
fruitessly endeavored to obtain service

speech, and to leave nothing in the way
Of discbargiug to my utmost ability the
task you have set for ME.
With my earnest and sincere thanks
for your expressions of confidence and re-
gard, and for the many honorable terms
in which you acquaint me with the ac-

the enormous expenditure of blood and
treasure has no parallel in the worlds his

WILSON'S LANDING, CHARLES CRY Co.,
"' May 10, 1854.
Mr.. E1itor:-Yeu are aware that Will
son $ Landing is on tho James River, a
few miles above Jam astnwn, the very spot
where the first sons Of Africa were landed,
in the year 1920, if my memory serves me
right, and from that day up to the break
ing out Of the rebellion was looked upon
as an inferior race by all civilized nations.
But behold what has been revealed in the
past three or four years why the colored
men have ascend6d upon a platform of
equality, and the slave can now apply the
lash to the tender flesh of his master, for
this day am now an eyewitness of the
fact. The country being principally in
habited by wealthy farms, there are a
great many men in the regiment who are
refugees from this place. While on d
foragng expedition we captured Mr.
Clayton, a noted Rebel 10 this part of the
country, and from his appearance, one of
the f. +. VS.; on the day before We cap
tured several colored women that belonged
to Mr.. c., who had given them most un-
mercltul whipping previous to their de-
parture. ...,. .lr,.. e.
On the arrival of Mr.. G in camp, the
commanding officer determined to let the
woman have their revenge, and ordered
Mr. q. to be tied to IL tree in front of head
quarters, and William Harris, soldier in
our regiment, and member of company
E, who was acquainted with the gentle
man, and who used to belong to him, was
called upon to undress him, and introduce
him to the ladies that | mentioned before
Mr.. Harris played his part conspicuous
ly, bringing the blood from his loins at
every stroke, and not forgetting to remind
the gentleman of days gone by. After
giving him some fifteen or twenty well-di-
rected strokes, the ladies one after anoth-
er, came up and gave him like number,
to remind him that they were no longer
his, but savcly housed in Abraham's bos-
ON, and under the protection of the Star
Spangled Banner, and guarded by their
patriotic, though down trodden race
Oh ! that | had the tongue to express my
feelings while standing upon the banks of
the James River, on the soil of Virginia,
the mother State of slavery, witness of
such sudden reversal. The day is
clear, the fielis Of grain are beautiful,
and the birds are singing sweet, melo-
dious songs, while poor Mr. G. is crying
to his servants for mercy. Let all who
sympathize with the South take this mar
rative for mirror.
Yours, truly, G.. w. IT.

FROM LAKE SUPERIoR.-The new and
splendid steamer Ironsides, Capt. J. E.
Turner, arrived yesterday morning at 3
o'clock. She had heavy weather off On
tOnagon and was delayed. Indeed, the en-
tire trip was rough one, but she proved
herself as stsunch and sea-worthy steam
er as floats. Her machinery worked
smoothly, admirably, and her owners and
officers have every reason to be proud of
her
The gentlemanly clerk of the Ironsides,
Mr. John Holland, furnishes US the follow
ing memoranda of her trip down:
She left ontonsgon Wednesday morning,
Eagle River Friday morning, Portage Lake
the same day, and Marquette Sunday morn
ing at O'Clock. The bark W. James was
still at Ontonagon, and the schooner Bal
lard was in the same condition as before
reported at Eagle Harbor. She will proba-
BILE prove a total loss. Net the steamer
Cleveland off Eagle River, and the Meteor
at Copper HarbOr. The schooner Wild
Rover was at Portage Lake discharging car
go. Left the Sault river Monday morning.
Net propeller Ontonagon and Mineral
Rock in the river, bound up. Net the Lac
La Belle off Presque Isle the same day.
The Ironsides brought down 800 tons iron
ore for J. A. Reddington, and so tons of
copper, from the Cliff mine, for Hussey &
Mcbride.
The irOnsides was to leave again for Lake
Superior last evening or this morning, from
Hussey & MeBride's dock.

DISTURBANCE.
There was only one blot on the proceed
ings, and that was disturbance which
crowd Of Copperhesd rowdiss made in try
ing to tear down the banner and lanterns
which were strung across the street near
the American building. These they as
saulted with clubs and stones, and when
persons came to the rescue, the rufians
turned the missiles upon the reseuers. A
riot was promised, as brickbats began to fly
from both parties, and several were struck.
Finally the nettled MeClellauites got
upon the roofs of some Of the buildings,
and cut the string on which the lanterns
were threaded, and they fell to the ground.
At length the police arrived, and order
was restored. This incident we state be-
cause it gives evidence ofthe great success of
the Union denomination last night, in that
it so vigorously and acutely pricxed the
hides Of the CopPeyheads. When fools can
ind no more arguments, then they grow
loud and blatant; and on the same prinei-

To TIE CITIZENS OF TIE SIXTH WAap-The
undersigned, Chairman OF the Sixth Ward
Relief COMMITTEES, most heartily eongratu-
lates the citizens of that Ward that they are
now free of the Draft. A sufficient number
of volunteer recruits having been put in
since the draft took place to relieve all the
drafted men who have not furnished sub
stitutes-
Our Ward having the largest quota of any
in the city, II seemed an impossibility to
accomplish this great result, but the un-
remitted labor of few individuals, aided
by the liberal contributions of the ward of
all classes, rich and poor, has enabled us to
succeed, thereby relieving nearly forty
families who would hSVe been deprived Of
their support and protectors during the
coming winser.
We deem it matter of pride to our
Ward that of the one hundred and thirty
men drafted only ten failed to report One
hundred and twenty reported and were
either held to service or exempted. Five
of the drafted men have chosen to 20 as
volunteer recruits for one year, and have
been paid the Ward bounty. The Commit
tee have pledged themselves in behalf of
the citizens of the Ward that the families
Of these five men shall not suffer during
their absence.
The large amount of money required to
clear the Ward has nearly all been sub
scribed. A considerable amount has been
advanced by the Committee in anticipation
OF its being collected.
The Committee would return thanks to
Provost Marshall Nash, Commissioners
kirkpatrick and Surgeon Beardslee, for
their uniform courtesy, and the valuable
aid and assistance which they have rem
dered them during the past ten days
A meeting of the citizens of the ward
will be held on Saturday evening next, at
