On Thursday morning negro sergeant
was shot by citizen in front of Il. Il b,

Instantly snatched pistol from the belt of
theother citizen and Shot the negro THROUGH
the breast, causing his death in few hours.
1t is supposed that thenegro may have been
touched on the shoulder by the citizen, who
was in the act of turning round, but it is
not positively known. The negro was not
on duty and the attack was unproyokcd and
gratui'ous, 80 far as we can learn.
an old planter was hailed by negro
guard for riding too fast, but not hearing

STEAMSHIPS FOR EURoPE.-We see by the
Baltimore papers that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company are about to estab-
lish o line of steamers between the city Of
Baltimore and Europe. Three screw steam
ers and one propeller have already been
purchased for the line.
The St. Louis Journal of Commerce,
says: It is stated that company Of the
leading ship owners of New York have I'M
der consideration plans for building four
magnificent vessels, CT eight thousand tons
each, to be propelled by engines of two
thousand five hundred horsepower, work.
ing two paddle wheels of the usual kind,
and two screw propellers-so that, in case
of arrangement of either set of machinery,
the other set shall continue working with
out material impediment in the speed of
the vessel.
These vessels are to be capable of carry
ing $500 passengers at the variable fares
of S25, $50 and SIS according to amount
of accommodation required, between that
city and Bristol England. Meals are to be
furnished on board the same as any restau-
rant, and passengers can either eat or let
it alone as it may please them. The pas
sage to Europe, it is believed at eighteen
miles an hour, will be made in seven days,
while the great length of the vessels NEAR
ly six hundred feet each) will overreach or
materially control the waves and prevent
that terrible pitching motion that is more
or less the dread of all sea-going travellers.

chews tobacco: ...,..
"Allow that young man, who is a
confirmed tobacco chewer, may live tweu.
ty five years. In each day there will is
sue from his mouth a pint Of fluid TOO
nauOeously disgusting to describe. In IS
years this viii amount to FIVE hundred
and fifty gallons, or more than four hogs
heads Of this detestable mass In the
same time, allowing him only two ounces
day, he will roll, as sweet morsel, un.
der his tongue half ton of the hateful
weed, which will sickeD dog or kill q
horse, forming a heap of the size of a
haystack. Then his rejected quids would
form still larger pile. Now, if tuch a
young man could see ten half hcgsheads
full Of abomiDable llth, destined to pass
through his mouth-7-a wagon load Of to.
bacco, and ten wbeebarrows heaped up
with guilds, designed for an equally init.
mate association with his lips, how would
the. prospect affect him !" n. aSe
