MURDER OF TWO CHILDREN.

The Boston papers give the following particu-
lars Of the murder Of two children at West
Roxbury, Mass, briefly reported by telegraph
yesterday. On Monday of last week brother
aud sister, named John S. Joyce and Isabella
Joyce left their mothers house, in Boston, to
walk out to Roxbury. Every effort to learn of
their whereabouts was unsuccessful, beyond
the fact that n man in Roxhury saw two chill
dren answering their description on the day Of
their disappearance, wandering in the direction
Of Dorchester.
The mystery was solved on Sunday last,
however, by tho discovery of their lifeless
bodies bearing unmistakable evidences Of O
terrible outrage aud murder The discovery
was purely accidental Notwithstanding active
aud thorough search was in progress to discover
the cnuse OF their singular disappearance. Two
Boston merchants had gone to Roxbury for the
purpose of recreation und while strolng through
what is knowhas Bussny's woods, they were
suddenly startled by discovering the murdered
body OF the little girl. They At once notified
the city authorities, who Immediately proceeded
to the scene of the tragedy. The only means by
which the body could be identified was the
clothing. Upon examination it WAS discovered
that she had been outraged in fearful manner,
and from the manner in which her clothing was
torn il was apparent that she had violently re
sisted the assaults upon her until completely
overpowered, Not less than sixteen stabs were
inflicted upon her body auy one OF which was
almost sufficient to cause instant death The
girl was only fourteen years Of age, but was very
large Of her nge, and had the appearance OF
being scarcely less than eighteen,
After the body had been identified az that OF
Miss Joyce, aud the oircumstance made known
that her little brother Johnny was also missing,
a search was Immediately commenced to aacer-
tain what had become Of hin. The fearful antici-
pations that he too had shared the same fate OF
his murdered sister were s1on painful reality.
After two or three hours eearchng, his dead
body WIS found only few rods from the spot
where his sister had been outraged and killed.
He was lying upon his face, and death had been
caused by several stabs Inflicted with u dirk or
some similar instrument, in the small Of his
back. Appearances indicated that the wounds
were inflicted while he was running hnd II is
reasonable to suppose that he vas being pursued
or driven away by the wreiohes against whom
he was feebly resisting to rave the life Of his
sister lie was twelve years of age, two years
her junior.
Near the scene Of the diabolical crimes were
found several wiealbs OF flowers and ever
green's, wrought with great care and taste
They were apparently engaged IN this innocent
and childish amusement when set upon by the
brutal murdercrs. When they left home eacl
had ten ceutsi hut ouly three ceuts was found
with them yesterday. They had probably spent
the rest to pay their fare iu the horse cars.

PRESIDENT LISCoLS oS NEWSPAPER ATTACKS
Col llalpine tells the following characteristic
story
Our late President Was once speaking about
an attack made On him by the Committee ou the
Conduct of the War, for certain alleged
bluuder, or something worse, in the Southwest
the matter involved being one which had fallen
directly under the observation of the officer to
whom he was talking, who possessed official
evidence completely upseitng oil the conclusions
Of the committee.
"Might it not be we'll for me-" quericd the
officer, "to set this matter right in letter to
some paper stating the facts as they actually
transpired ?"
"oh, no." replied the President "al least
not now If were 70 tly TO read, much less
answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop
might rs well be closol for any other business
! do the very best know how, the very best
cam and l mean to keep doing 80 until the
end If the end brings me out oil right,
what is said against me won't amount to any.
thing, If the end brings me out wrong, ten
angels swearing l was right would make no
difference"
There is in this another instance Of the prac
tlcal good sense Of Mr.. Lincoln Newspapers
may rouse aninosities aud transfer their own
passions 10 their readers, but they cannot
contound right and Wrjng. Hence the necessity
OF public men always studying to be right, and
looking 10 newspaper opinion only to see its
different shades, taat right may be the better
reached Newspapers are as responsible to
public opinion as the President is, and their
errors are visited against them just as severely.
Hence the ihpolicy IN public men, when satisfied
Of belug right, OF warning against newspapers
which oppose them and the futility Of trying 10
persist in wrong by engaging tue partisan press
to sustain i. "ren angels swearing it was
righi" could mt avail for the manifest errors OF
the press destroy iis influence with its readers,
and hence their support or attacks in such
cases ate good for nothing

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A YOUNG LADY

Que of the most singular affairs that has mr.

the inmates, young woman, to take a ride
with him, which she promised to do after tea
lilte after O'Clock he again called, but was
very drunk, aud she refused to go with him, and
he LETT the house. The following morning,
Tuesday, he called third time, about II
o'clock, when he was sober, asked for the Young
woman, again making the request thai she
shoulu ride with him, and stating that he had q
eheck from man residing near Willow street,
payment OF which had been refused at one Of
our banks and that he was going to collect the
same in person. The young woman wac, how
ever, engaged at the time, and, while awaiting
her appearance, the man stepped out into the
garden, where the woman Of the house was
engaged in picking strawberries, some Of which
she gave him. He commenced conversation
ny saying, 1--WE a mind to kill Sallie for the
way she treated me last night" The woman

to what is known as the Buck Hilp, where he
drove into the woods, remarking that they
would have to go down that road, as the man
lived there. She refused to do 80, becoming
suspicious, when he caught hold Of her, pulled
her out OF the carriage, drew knife, stabbed
her III the'eide, choked her very severely, aud
tore her clothing. Whilst in the act Of choking
her, her cries Of ''murdern brought a youn0

relief, when Leeser Immediately jumped into the
carriage aud drove rapidly of. The young man
brought her to her home in this city, when
physician was called in, her wounds dressed,
aud she is now doing well, The case is certainly
very singular one; aud Whit steps, if any,
have been taken in reference to legal inVesti.

THE EXPLOSION AT MOBILE THE WORK
OF lNCENDIARlES.

became so loose Of tongue is not yet evident.
"The sergeant did not wish to terrify the

bility Of getting at the facts of the case aud the
names of his aocompices so he merely told the
prisoner TO go with him, mud took him to the
First District station. The case being of a
military character, it was reported to Col
Starring Provost Marshal General, who took
charge of the prisoner.
"lhe following is the chargs entered against
the prisoner; 'John Jackson Wall, arreste bv
