THE SEA-SERFENT.-The esea-serpent's not
having been seen off Nahant this year may
be accounted for by the fact that his snake
ship is on visit to Virginia. A few days
since, while man was walking in the vicinity
of Willis creek, in Buckingham county, in
that State he saw the snake taking a view of
matters on shore, recreation which the per-
SON did not think fit to interfere with, as the
serpent, or rather SO much, of it as was visi-
BILE, extended along nine sections of rail
fence. An armed party went out to hunt
the ''pesky yarmint, " but found that it had
slid back into the creek, The marks it made
on the sand were such as the indentations of
a large oak tree would produce; and the length
of the serpent could not be less than two hun
dred and twenty-five feet Such is the sub
stance of story told by the Richmond Times.

The Pitlsburg poisoning case is still en-
larging. The bodies of Miss Buchanan and
Mrs. Caruthers, who were supposed to have
been poisoned by Mrs. Grinder, have been
exhumed, and the contents.ot their stomachs
analysed Poison was found in both, and
the coroner's jury rendered verdict that
deceased came to their death by poison, adj
ministered by Mrs, Grinder, who has been
committed to answer the charge of murder.
The Pittsburg Gazette says that the woman
is now suspected of having murdered several
other persons. Among these is her own
brother-in- law, returned soldier, named
Grinder, who died suddenly in her house,
and whose body was inferred near Leech
burg, where his parents reside. A Mrs
Hancock, wife of a hack driver, is also sup
posed to have died from the effects of poison
administered by this woman, while acting
the part of nurse in the family The mothel
of Mrs. Hancock, an old lady named Carr
died after one days illness, and as Mrs
| Grinder had access to her at the time, ther
is no doubt that she caused her death. IL I
also reported to the coroner that she poisoned
two children in the Fifth Ward, both o
whom died. These were children of a Ger
man woman whom Mrs. Grinder visited
and it is said that after the children wer
buried, Mrs. Grinder visited the house an,
succeeded in administering dose of poisoi
to the mother, from which, however, she re
covered. A young girl, named Annie Gold
went to live with the fiend. and had not bee
there but short time when she put poiso

A FAMILY PoIsoNED.-A singular affair
has just happened in Lansingburg. On
Monday evening, Charles 8. Houghton, the
proprietor of restaurant and boarding
house, sat down to tea with ten or eleven
others. About nine O'Clock, P. NJ, he was
taken sick. During the night all the others
were also seized with violent symptoms. Mr..
Houghton died last night, after an illness
of less than forty-eight hours; the Others
have all recovered. Dr. Hull, who attended
him, says that his disease was cholera moTbus
and that no inquest was necessary; but many
citizens demanded an investigation, thinking
that the deceased was poisoned. On the tea
table were picked lambs tongues, cheese
and cucumbers. Some ate of one dish; some
of both; some of all. But every one who
was there has been more or less ill. Owing
to the loss of the key of cupboard, the tee
of which all drank was borrowed from o
neighbor; but the neighhor's family have
been drinking it both before and since the
sad affair. Mr.. Houghton, the only victim
was about 6j years of age, a Freemason, anC
a respectable and worthy citizen.---4foy (N

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1865-03-07

The Western troops of Sherman, it
appears, do not fraternize with the negro
soldiers. This is the statement of one
of their own correspondents, and the re :
port agrees with what we had. heard of
the talk of the men in Savannah. The
West has never been thoroughly i'm
pregnated with the Puritan spirit. Those
representatives in Congress from that
section most conspic uous for abolition
sentiments are probably from New Eng
land districts, like the Western Reserve
of Ohio, and do not fairly reflect the
spirit of the people at large, who have
some freshness and individuality Of
character, and have never been able to
understand that this continent was made
entirely for Africans. We shall not be
surprised if the West has something yet
to say to New England upon that sub
iect.

A Frenchman in New York has come
forward with an original plan for pstting
an end to the difficulties between the
North and South, which he publishes in
full in the New York Courier des Etots
Unis. The South must give up slavery
and return to the Union. On it's part,
the North must give up Lincoln and
johnson. Davis and Stephens must also
resign, and then let the two Congresses
Of Washington and Richmond proclaim
General Lee President of tho Union
This is tho simple and comprehensive
scheme Of = gentleman evidently not at
home on American institutions, but who
seems to have heard Of General Lee.

We have heard it said, in illustration of
the inventive faculty of the Yankees,
and their passion for doing everything
by machinery, that they have invented
thrashing>machine for the use of schools,
warranted to thrash a school of fifty
boys in twenty minutes, distinguishing
their offences into literary, moral and
impertinent.
If it was not the fate Of merit to re-
main in obscurity, We might suppose that
the inventor of that machine had been
employed by Mr.. Seward at the begin
ming of the war to thrash the Southern
Confederacy. We know that he pro-
missed, most yemphatically, that it should
be done in ninety days. That was the
longest time he could possibly allow for
the flagellation. Ninety days. Yes, the
vast and varied machinery of the United
States would wallop, like blazes, this
miserable little Southern Confederacy in
less than three full-grown months and
James Watson Webb declared that the
New York Seventh regiment alone could
| conquer the whole Southern country.
But, unfortunately, the machinery,
ingenious and wonderful as it was, has
| not come up to the promise Of the in
| ventor. Instead of grinding up the
corn in ninety days, it has been at work
four years, and has done as much mis-
chief to friend as foe. The "short,
sharp and decisive" has proved the
longest, dullest and most indecisive of
modern combats. 1t is only the wal
upon the cxchequer of Uncle Sam
that has been conducted with prompt
tude and vigor. 1t is question that
even Mr.. Seward, in his solitary refec
tons, must admit is open to debate
| whether the United States might not
have sunk all it's ships, burnt up all it :
manufactures, and levelled to the earth
all its commercial cities, with better
hope of ultimate and complete recupe'
ration than by the use it made of it
destructive energies in beginning this
! war.

The Rev. II. W. Beechcr expresses
himself strongly in favor of giving uni
versal suffrage to the Africans. AS
universal suffrage costs nothing to the
ciyer. We are not at all astonished by the
generosity of his Reverence, though it
NAV be doubted whether the proposed
recipients will be as much delighted with
it as with bacon and green's. If he will
rive them this, or corn cake and fat
possum, we are sure they will like it
better than universal suffrage. We dare
say we should ourselves, for, as at pre-
sent advised, we do not know of any
animal or vegetable production which
we would not think it a good bargain to
purchase at the cost of that commodity.
Far be it from us to suppose that the
native African citizen of the South IS
less capable Of digesting with safety
such diet as universal suffrage than the
members of Mr.. Beecher's own congre-
cation. Those who would propose the
extension of universal suffrage to the
negroes of this country are no better
fitted for self-government than the class
to be endowed with it. We DO not know
but the best thing that could be done
for the world would be to carry ou,
Mr.. Bcecher's proposition. II the ev']
did not work it's cure in six months, to
such an extent that the world woulo
never hear of Universal Suffrage again

vernment, he wrote letter to Prince
Metternick, requesting him to immediate
ly dispatch to him q "constitution-
MAKER" as he was desirous Of ruling
the country he was about to conquer
latter the most approved European
model"
We would suggest to Mr.. Seward that
a similar application should be made
now to Austria, a Government which
seems to have the happy faculty Of
giving content and security toits people
two great blessings, the absence of which
can scarcely be made up by republican
forms. The Austrian Government,
though not exactly constitutional, can
scarcely be called as despotic as that
which Republicans in the United States
would establish upon the ruins of the
old American Constitution. Even forty
years ago, political offenders in Austria,
though regularly tried, were in no case
sent to the scaffold. The right of private
property is held sacred in that country
There is the most perfect equality before
the law, so that the highest noble in the
land has not the smallest advantage over
peasant. The people are even allowed
to have certain municipal privileges,
which they exercise without the inter
ference of the Administration. There
are even, in every part of the Austrian
monarchy, provincial States, which meet
to discuss matters relative to tho ad-
ministration, especially financial, of their
respective provinces. Mexico, which now
has scion of the Austrian monachy or
its throne, may come, in time, to enjoy
all these advantages, and be the happies
people of the New World, as the Aus
TRANS are of the Old. We trust Mr.
| Seward will have q conference will

be done to prevent the United State
from beingleft behind in all the element
of human happiness by Mexico.

skill Of that General that, after having
withstood four years of war, cannot bo
blown away by newspaper paragraph.
He was General enough to take it from
the forces of the United States in twenty
four hours, and he is such IN engineer
that he made it impregnable. The can
did confession of the New York Her0ITs
correspondent that Fort Sumter was
stronger when the United States recover

at it, is testimony enough to the genius
of Beauregard.
